PAGE 2
I25�
The Assistant Engineer, Mr. Dick Sobiech, addressed the Council and explained the background
on the requests for variances for two signs, one, a directional sign and the other an
emergency sign. He said the directional sign variance request was from a six square foot
sign to a 24 square foot sign. He said the next sign, the emergency sign, request was from '
six square feet to 75 square feet. He pointed out a diagram of the emergency sign to the
Council. He advised the Counci7 that the Board of Appeals had recommended the directional
sig� from six feet to 24 feet, be denied, and the Board of Appeals had tabled the request
for the variance for the emergency sign, from six to 75 square feet. • !
l
Mayor Liebl said the emergency sign variance had been approved at the last meeting of the
Council. The City Manager said the item had been brought back to the CounciT because
there had been no mention of the directional sign at the last meeting and the petitioner '
had requested approval of both of the signs. ;
P1r. Charles Peugh, Signcrafters, addressed the Council and said the directiona7 sign would �
be far enough back from the street to not interfer with vision and it would not be in the
driveway. '
t�lr. Peugh explained the other directional sign would be to direct de7iveries, employees,
and those wishing to find the auditorium. One of the purposes of the sign wou7d be to
_ notify the visitors to the hospital that this is not the enirance for visitors af patients.
He explained if someone visiting a patient parked and tried to enter this seciion, they
would have to walk around the building because this entrance is usually locked.
Councilman Breider said he had a question concerning the elimination of problems with
additional iraffic on Lyric Lane, He recalled in the original plannirg of the addition to the
hospital, there was a cut from two to one entrance to the hospital on Lyric Lane. He said
if the proposal is looked at in light of all of the exits and entrances to the hospital,
. this would be needed for direction. Counci7man Breider further commented that the hospital
was merely implementing the present plan to meet the requirements of the City to direct the
traffic to Osborne Road and not Lyric Lane. He said he could not see any problems with the
proposed signs.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to approve the variances for both the directional and the
emergency signs as requested by Unity Hospital. Seconded by Counci7man Utter. Upon a
voice vote, all voting aye, Ptayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.

RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE BUILDING STANDARDS-DESIGN CONTROL SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING OF
MARCH 27, 1974:
CONSID
TO CONSTRUCT A NEW BUILDING OF BRICK AND CONCRETE FOR
The Assistant Engineer said this request was for an addition to the existing
building at 7891 Elm Street and the matter was being discussed for a number of
. variances within the minutes of the Board of Appeals also. He explained the
request for the variances in the side yard set back to be from 20 to zero feet.
t�layor Liebl read aloud the stipulations as recommended by the Building Standards-
Design Control Subcommittee.
Couniclman Breider asked if the construction as requested would follow the plan
for the area. "�r. Sobiech said yes. He pointed out the location of the proposed
construction on an area map. Mayhor Liebl said this building would fit into
the overall development of the area.
The City Manager said the building on the other side of the property in question
would be built by Mr.Uick.Harris and he had agreed to building a similar structure
with a common wall.�
Councilman Utter questioned if the building would be free standing without the
use of the existing wall. Mr. Paschke, Paco Masonry, said this was correct. He
said the construction of the Harris bui7ding would not abut this presently being
proposed structure. Mr. Paschke said he has more projects in the area, and they
would have to be seen to understand the implications of the plan. He said this
type of plan would eliminate the trash containers being placed between the buildings,
the sidewalks from the building to the street and the on street parking. He
stressed this type of construction with the parking in the back of the building
discourages on street parking. He said all of the green area would be on one side.
Councilman Breider said he would have no objection to the construction of the building.
' He added, the usage of the lots of the area has intrigued him, in order to construct .
a good size building, one would have to purchase the whole block. He said this type
of construction has made some substantial improvements in the area.
'
Councilman Nee questioned the instal7ation of only three parking stalls. He added,
some businesses of this size are required to have 11 to 12 stalls. He said he did
not know what kind of business would need only three parking stalls.
' The City Manager said it is only in the industrial areas that this kind of parking
limitation' is used, He eXplained the requirements in the commercial areas would
be much i�igher. He further explained in the small manufacturing business, there may
. be only two to three employees. The City Manager said the three buildings would be
very contiguous and they had tried to work this out with the zero setbacks: The
' City Manager questioned the possible installation of the seven parking stalls.
Mr. Paschke explained there is a great difference (202 feet) in setback between the
large building and this building. He said the cars couTd.be stacked and seven
spaces could be installed.

MOTION by Councilman Breider to approve the request for the bui7ding as requested

Mayor Lieb7 summarized the requests of the applicant and said the recommendation
of the Board of Appeals was that the hard surface driveway be instal7ed.one year
from the present time: -
Mr. Larry Miller, 7889-91 Firwood Way N. E, addressed the Council and explained
the reason he was requesting the variance is because the driveway is on the property
line between his and the adjoining lot. He explained the adjacent property owner
to be a widow who does not have a garage and could not handle the expense of half of
the driveway. He pointed out that due to the energy crisis, oi7 and the materials
required for the installation of the driveway had increased in price and decreased
in supply to the contractors. �
Mr. Miller advised the Council that Mr. Darrel Clark, Community Development Admin-
istrator, had suggested to him to request the insta.11ation of the crushed rock
rather thah leave the drive with no surface at all. Mr. Miller said he would like
to put in gravel with some binder in it. Ne explained the feelings of the Board
of Appeals that the crushed rock wou]d be spread onto East River Road and thrown
about by tlie traffic.
Mayor Liebl said he would suggest the Council grant the variances, and also extend
the time period for the installation of the hard surface driveway to two years
because of a financial hardship. He pointed out that it is required by the City that
all new constructions put in a hard surface driveway. Ne said this is important
for the maintenance of the streets and sewers of the City.
Mr. Miller said he would be willing to put in some sort of stable material. He
explained a neighbor had insta7led some material which was not suitable and his
snowblower picked it up. He said the same neighbor tried another material and
this seems to be stable enough to not be picked up by the snowblower. •
Councilman Nee said he had also visited the site and this was on a very wet day and the
present driveway was not soft, but, v ery firm. He said he would also want the
driveway paved someday, but he was happy t�o hear that there was a garage being
built there. He continued saying he woulanot want to add this financial burden to
the property owner at the present time, F}e mentioned the drainage conditions to be
such that the driveway would not drain into the street, and this would be no
problem in this area. He said the excess water flows in a drainage ditch.

take care of the project from their general budget.

City Engineer, �-Ir. Dick Sobiech, to be distributed to all of the people of the area.
He stated, this was well done.
Mayor Liebl said this should be sent to the people on Rice Creek also and the members

RECEIVING REPORT REGARDING IMPROVING RETURN ON INVESTMENT IN THE MUNICIPAL LIQUOR STORE
vr[rcHi lUl�'
Mayor Liebi asked the Liquor Store Manager, Mr. Bob McGuire, if he agreed with the
contents of the report. Mr, f�cGuire said he had met with the City Manager and the Finance
Director and he concurred with everything 9n the report.
Councilman Breider said he thought the report presented a good proposa7 and the net profit
in the plan would be 122% and this is what the Council had asked the Administration to
prepare, Ne stated when the two managers accept taking a reduciion in salary, he believed
it would also be possible to negotiate with the remainder of the employees when and if the
contract comes due, and there is or is not an increase in the profits of the operation.
He said if the stores begin making a profit, their salaries could be increased. He stated
he believed these salaries should be based on performance, and if the performance was not
satisfactory, things could get tough. He said the Manager should inform the people and
determine•if the performance is adequate.
Councilman Nee said he was,impressed with the fa�t that the Manager and Assistant Manager
had agreed to the decrease in salary to eliminate the decline in profits. He quoted
"a camel is a horse that had been designed by a committee", and commented he felt the
Council should review the report and not run the operation. He said he could not see
where the municipal operation could be run to compete with the private business with their many
intriguing wines and expensive stock which is not fast moving. He said the municipal
operation would not be able to put together parcels like the private operation could. He
hoped the members of the Counci] were co�nizant of this fact, Councilman Nee said he felt
the report presented is a good set of guidelines and he would like to adopt it for operation.
P10TION by Councilman Nee to adopt the "Report Regarding ImQroving Return on Investment
in the Municipal Liquor Store Operations" as a guideline for the liquor operation. Seconded
by Councilman Breider.
Councilman Breider said he believed the Council should make a monthly review of the
liquor store operation. Mayor Lieb7 said the operation has an annual audit. Mr. McGuire
said the quarterly report would be submitted, and this would give the Council the financial
statement every three months.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion"carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF FUNDING THE NUCLEUS CLINIC:
Mayor Liebl read aloud the recommendaiion from the staff prepared by the Administrative
Assistant, Mr. Peter Herlofsky, which was in the Council Agenda.
MOTION by Councilman Utter concur with the recommendation of the Administrative Assistant
and authorize a contribution of $1,000 to the Nucleus Clinic - North Suburban Youth
Service Center, this year with reconsideration of additional contribution after the
findings of Anoka County are received. Seconded by Councilman Nee.
Councilman Starwalt said he could not support such a move for various reasons. He
expressed concern of the Center keeping information from parents of those who are patients
at the Center, saying this weakens the family structure. He said his second concern is the
lack of the Center to make a concentrated effort to collect fees from the people attending
the Clinic.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick said the Center has begun to collect fees from the people obtaining aid
at the Clinic. She recalled a recent evening where 24 patients were in attendance at the
I�l
REGUlAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL l, )974 PAGE 8
clinic and the Clinic collected $77 in fees. She explained this had been started because
the Clinic was {oy�ed to hire a doctor. She further explained, they had planned on
receiving volunteers, but was unable to do so, and a doctor had to be hired.
� Councilman Starwalt asked if there was any change in the confidentuality between the
� young people and their parents. Mrs. Fitzpatrick said she could understand the
! concern of Councilman Starwalt, but if the young people were able to go to their parents,
they would not be there in the first place. She said this is an imporiant part �f the
' operations, She stated, the young people come to the Center and not to their parent5.
' She said she could understand the concern, it was an obvious one. Mrs. Fitzpatrick
, said the unity of the family has been broken before this time, or they would not be at
the clinic, t��ey wou7d be home.
Mr. Raymond A. Creegan, 5780 East River Road said this type of confidentuality would
only be in one instance of operation, There are other aspects of the Center which involve the
entire family in conseling sessions. ,He said here, the family would be treated as a unit
and the problems worked out in the family unit. �

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
PUBLIC HEARING QN FINAL PLAT P. S. #74-01, RICE CREEK ESTATES, BY GOODCO, INC., AND
AND
RECEIVING PETITION #3-1974, IN OPPOSITION TO PLAT:
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to waive the reading of the Public Hearing Notice and
open the Public Heari.ng. Seconded by Councilman Nee. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, f•1ayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously and the Public Hearing opened
at 7:32 P.M.
The City Manager projected a map of the proposed plat on the screen.
Mayor Liebl asked the City Manager to present some facts on the proposed plat. The
City Manager said the Planning Commisison had reco�nended approval of the plat with
some stipulations. He explained there had been some problems with the extension of
61st Street. He continued saying the plat being reviewed needed no additional r�ght-
of-way from the property owners on 61st, the cul-de-sac was proposed entirely for the
developer's property. He said the requirements of the platting ordinance had been met:
He also explained the amount of park land ta be obtained through the plat to be in
excess of the normal percentage of area. He said normally for this much area, there
would be 4 to 4%2 lots for park and this plat would provide 8 to 82 and the developer
is loosing about four buildable lots.
� The City Manager said the recommendation of the Park and Recreation Commission was that
a good size park be developed in the area to serve all the properties bounded by
Rice Creek Road, Stinson Boulevard, Old Centrai Avenue, and 61st Avenue. He said the
perimiter roads are heavy with traffic and this proposed park would be in the
center of the developed area. He said he believed ttiis to be a good place for a park
to serve the entire area. ,
Councilman Utter asked if the cul-de-sac on the extension of 61st Avenue was now on
the applicant's property and the City Manager said this is.true. He said the developer
would have to dedicate the roadway right-of-way -For the cul-de-sac. The City Manager
said this would leave the two lots unbuildable because of the steepness of the
terrain and the property being taken for the cul-de-sac.�
Mr. Ed Dropps, Pine Tree R�ilders, addt^essed the Council and introduced Mr. Wally
Goodroad, and said they had formed Goodco Builders.
Councilman Starwalt asked if there had been any agreement worked out between the
developer and the property owners of the area. I•ir. Dropps said he had not talked to
the property owners. ��e said he was willing to sell twenty feet of his property to the
Thielmann5 to make their property buildabl•e. Ha added, the Thielmanns had indicated
they did not want to continue the road through their. property at this time. Mr. br.opps
said he had proposed a plan which would not continue the roadway through the Thielmann
property. • ' '

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF MARCH 11, 1974 PA6E 2
Councilman Utter said the plat that had been proposed at the Planning Commission
Meeting by Goodco, was not accepted by the P]anning Go�unission. He said the Planning
Commission had approved the plat.being proposed at the present meeting.
Mr. Dropps said he was sorry they were not in attendance at the.meeting of the Planning
Commission, but they were under the impression they had attended all the meetings
that they were to attend. He said they were not aware of the meeting the previous _
Wednesday, and had thought the Parks and Recreation Meeting of Monday night was the �
last meeting. j
Councilnan Starwalt asked if there would be any objections by the developer at
running Woodside through rather than use the cul-de-sac. ;ir. Dropps said as the rvad
is run on the proposed. plat, it is of no use to the development, it is just additional
cost. Ht said he believed the access required by the Thielmanns couid be obtained from
the east side of their property. He said there is no value in the 135 foot piece of
road.
Councilman Starwalt said he favored the plan which would allow Woodside Court to be
extended .through the Theilmann property and he believed this would be a better plan
to continue the development of the entire area.
Mr. Dropps explained he had originally come to the City with a plan for 59 lots and now
the proposal was to 40 lots. He said all of the 59 7ots were of buildable size and
four of them were on Mr. Theilmann's property. He said he had tried not to offend
Mr. Theilmann, but now it was time to take a stand.
Mr. Dropps commented he had sent a map of the proposal to the Engineering Department
and would apply for a variance of from 35 feet to 25 feet for the front yards for the
lots on 61st Avenue which would make the lots buildable.
The City Manager said there were only two problems to be solved on the proposed pTat,
one being the section of roadway through the Theilmann property and the other
recomnendation for the park in the southerly section of the plat. He repeated the ,
Park and Recreation Commission had recommended a large park be created in this area.
He explained the proposal to cut Woodside Court through would be a better proposal
utility�wise than dead ending the street and utilities at each end of the access. The
City Manager said he appreciated the point of view of Mr. 'iheilmann, he wants to live
in the area and had been in the location for a long period of time. He said Mr. Theilmann
would like the area to remain as it is. The City Manager said he thought the developer
and Mr. Theilmann should work something out which would be a better plan. He indicated
the proposal would create a better drainage plan and a better utility plan.
Councilman Starwalt asked the parties involved if it would be possible for them to
get together to reach some agreement.
Mr. �ropps replied he did not believe any agreement could be reached, they had tried.
He explained Mr. Theilmann wished to keep the area as it is until the time of his
retirement. i4r. Uropps said Mr. Theilmann had indicated this is the on7y plan Me
would:accept.
Mr. Theilmann said he had purchased two acres of Rroperty and he asked why he should
sacrifice a lot now after paying taxes on the property for many years with the'plan
of creating eight buildable lots in the area. Ne said he did not believe he would be
forced to do this for the developers of the abutting property.
Councilman Utter said the creation of cul-de-sacs is an additional expense for the City.
He said there is a lot which would not be buildable on the Theilmann property if the
cul-de-sac is installed for access. He said if this p7an is followed, it would
create two additional cul-de-sacs for the City to maintain.
The City Manager said he would encourage the two parties to try to work something out
which would be good for the corronunity and good for each other. He said they both
have needs of the other and would both have to give a little. He stated, they need
each othew in order to develop the property.
Councilman Starwalt asked what the tax status would be and what provisions would be
in effect if this property is divided by the roadway at the present time.
The Finance Director, �ir. Marvin C. Brunsell, said he did not know of anyway there could
be a delay in paying the taxes and special assessments. He commented there is a two
to three year process before the special assessments would be on the tax rolls.

Councilman Starwalt asked if the taxes would be affected before this time. The Finance
Director said there would be no appreciable difference in the tax, the big difference would
be in the special assessments. The Finance Director said the difference in the taxes would
come about by putting the road in, not by platting and installing a. line in a plan.
The City Manager said Mr. iheilmann's land is higher than the surrounding land, it will
be more expensive to complete the improvements on the Theilmann property alone in the
future. He said with the present plan, the assessments would be spread over the entire
development and not assessed to the abutting property owners section by section. He said
if the improvements are done sinqly the owner of the four higher lots would have to
expend the entire amount of the higher priced installation. He said it would be difficult
to assess the other people in the future when the assessment would have no benefit to
them.
Counci7man Utter said the improvements with the raise in costs would be at additional
.cost in the future. Councilman Utter asked Mr. Theilmann if he would be able to come
into.the City Hall and speak to the City Manager on the methods of funding the current
proposal and the reasons why it would be to Mr. Theilmann's advantage to install the
' improvements at this time. He thought if Mr. Theilmann woul.d add the improvements
later, the cost would be out of this world.
The City Manager said the Theilmann property would be difficult p+�operty to work on.
�He explained how there is 25 feet of dirt which would have to be removed before the
installation of the improvements. He said at the present time, if it were done all
_' �t once , the cost would be minimal He again stressed, the parties should get
together and work something out for the good of both of them.
Mayor Liebl agreed stating he also thought they should get together before the Council
would take any action on the matter pending. P�tayor Liebl asked Mr. Theilmann if he
opposed the development of the residential plat as proposed. Mr. Theilman said he was
not opposed to the plat. �
Mayor Liebl said the proposal of the street pattern would be acceptable to the Council
over the long range plan of the area. t�layor Liebl said Mr. Theilmann cannot be forced
to develop his property. i4r. Dropps said he was aware of this. Mayor Liebl pointed
out that Mr. Theilmann had been a long time resident of the City of Fridley and had
paid many tax dollars. -
The City Manager said there were three alternatives; one to approve the plan and develop
only the property within it; two, to let the property owners work something oui;
and three, acquire the needed right-of-way through eminent domain.
Councilman Utter asked Mr. Theilmann and the representatives from Goodco if they could
• have another meeting which he and Councilman Starwalt would attend. Mr. Theilmann said
he is home every evening and this would be agreeable with him.
Councilman Starwalt said it seemed it would be advantageous for Mr. Theilmann to •
, allow the road to go through at this time rather than dead end it.
'Mr. Theilmann said he is no�drbe involved�in theudevelopmentroflthegareasinethedfuture.
amount of increase that wou
Mr. Theiimann said he would like to go over this point with someone at the City.
Councilman Starwalt said the plat could be adopted as it is being presented with the
dead end, but Mr. Theilmann would have to agree to pay the incurred costs for the
improvements at the future time of development. �
Councilman Nee asked the amount of cutting that would have to be done for this improvement
and asked if the elevations could be pointed out.
Mr. Oropps said Mr. Theilmann wants to sell the fill in the area and after this is
dDne, he would sell the property for develoQment. Mr. Theilmann said this is true.
The City Manager said the two parties need each other for the plan for the area to
be workable.
Mayor Liebl asked if there were any others present who would like to make a statement
to the Council. Mr. Charles Rice, 1541 Ferndale Avenue, asked if there was any right-
of-way on the Rice property, or was all of this being obtained from the developers
of the property. (%�ayor Liebl asked Nr. Rice if he had any objections to the p7at as
it was being proposed which did not require any right-of-way from the Rice property.
Mr. Rice said he would have no objection if the plat did not touch his property. ,
Mrs. Gloria Arel, 1521 Ferndale addressed the Council and said if the plat does not
touch either the Rice Property or her own, she would have no objections to the plat. .

The City Manager said the plat did not touch either of these properties.
�ouncilman Breider stated Mr. Theilmann wanted to sell the dirt before the development
of the property. He thought there would be an additional cost for the development
of the area some point in the future if there is a delay. He asked Mr. Theilmann if
he was aware of the expense and limitations on dirt hauling. Mr. Theilmann 3aid this
had been done all around him and was well aware of what dirt hauling does.
��

j .
Councilman Starwalt asked why there would be a$20,000 to $25,000 cost to the City �
to make a park of this size, ihe City Manager said the recommendation of the Parks
and Recreation Commission was to create a large park for the families of the neighborhood.
He said when the areas surrounding the present plat are developed, the City would
require some amounts of money for development of park. He said this would provide
a park large enough to service t}ie entire area in the future. The City Manager pointed
out that applicant is dedicating more than the required amount to the City's parks and
this property for the amount mentioned would be in'addition to the large dedicated
area.
Mr. L.arry Lembke, 1505 Ferndale, addressed the Council and said he paid $4,000 for the
extra amount of property he nwned. He said if the assessments were put in and he `
sold the property he could only increase his investment by about $2,000 and this would
not be a large enough profit, he would rather keep the property.
Councilman Starwalt asked Mr. htike 0'Bannon if he had any objections to the plat.
Mr. 0'Bannon said he had no objections.
Mr. Dropps said he would like to set up a meeting with Mr. Theilmann and the City
representatives. Councilman Starwalt said he felt Mr. Theilmann should meet with the
City staff first.
Mr. Theilmann said he would meet with the City staff,he would make arrangements and
tell them when he could make such a meeting.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to close.the Public Hearing. Seconded by Counci7man
Utter. Upon a voice vote, all vot.ing aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried
unanimously, and the Public Hearing closed at 8:45 P. M.
Mayor Liebl said the petition in opposition to the plat should be received. Mayor
Liebi noted, this is not the plat being discussed at the present.time, this was a
previously discussed plan for the plat.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to receive Petition #3=1974 in opposition to the Rice
Creek Estates. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,

TION OF COMMUNICATION FROM THE HOUSING COMMITTEE OF THE FRIDLEY V. F. W.
- ---- -. _ ......�.-.. rr.,.,nnnv oc lo7n � .
MOTION by Councilman Breider to receive the communication from the Housing Committee
of the Fridley V. F. W., 1040 Osborne Road N. E., signed by Mr. Anton Olson, Commander.
Seconded by Councilman Nee. Upon�a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared
the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Andrew Kohlan, Attorney, addressed the Council representing the Fridley V. F. W.
Mr. Kohlan said 'ne i�ad visited the facility and talked to the Commander and believed
as the letter from the V. F. W. states, the problems arise because of the corrQnon
wash room facilities which are used by members of the V. F. W. and also by renters
of the facility. He continued, there is interaction because of this and when the
facilities are rented, this is the major cause of the problems. He said there is
a possibility, in the future, for the V. F. W. to acquire some of the adjoining space•
in the building complex and this would lessen the chance of this type of interaction
through separation. He said the V. F. W. would be providing additional security
to alleviate the current incidents. Mr. Kohlan said the V. F. W. Housing Cortvnittee
is sincere in its attemp to aileviate the problems and they realize this will take
attention to complete the process.
Councilman Breider asked who is leasing the other portion of the building. Mr. Kohlan
said this lease is held by a grocery store. He explained the owner of the grocery
facility has a year left on the lease with an option of an extension of another year.
� He said ther� is also a barber shop in the complex. He explained the circumstances
of the V. F. W. obtaiiiing the building with the incompleted leases,.and said there .
would be no way of expanding until the other businesses are no longer leasing the
building. � �

Councilmarr Breider asked Mr. Kohlan if it was the V. F. W.'s intent to take over the
entire building..��tr. Kohlan said not entire7y, but somethin9 could be arranged, this
would be to eliminate the interaction in the wash rooms.
Councilman Starwalt said he had visited the faci7ity and he believed they were trying
to run a proper operation.
Mayor Liebl asked if there would be any further action on the matter at the present
time. t;ouncilman Breider said he thought the Housing Committee was making a concentrated
effort in alleviating the problems, and this is what he was interested in.
Mayor Liebl asked if.the points listed in the communication (1 through 4) would be
agreeable to the Council as means of satisfying corrective measures for the current
problems.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to concur in the statements in the cormnunication as listed
one through four. Seconded by Councilman 5tarwalt. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBILITY OF INSTALLATION OF SIDEWALKS ON JACKSON STREET BETWEEN
73RD AVENUE AND OSBORNE ROAD, AND METHOD OF fUNDING THE IMPROVEMENT:
Councilman Breider said he had .asked that this item be placed on the agenda to obtain an
idea on the Council's thinking on the matter. He recalled the 1971 policy of the City. in
establishing sidewalks on residential property and said the money would come from State
Aid or the general fund, He said he had asked the City Manager to prepare a cost break-
down on the installation of sidewalks on Jackson Street from 73rd to Osborne Road or
the Woodcrest School area. He said the grand total for this installation would be
approximately $33,145 and he would like to discuss the possible methods of completion of
this installtion.
The City Manager pointed out the City had a five year sidewalk program. He explained
Mississippi Street from Central to Highway #65 had been completed. He said the
State Aid roads carry heavy traffic. He said Jackson had been a State Aid roadway,
but this had been deleted from the State Aid roads, and now the property owners
may have to pay the assessments for such an instal7tion. He explained the property
owners did not want this road to be a State Aid roadway because of the additional
traffic this would possibly create, bui there is a traffic problem and there is a
possibility with the safety factor, State Aid funds may take care of this assessment.
He said the general funds could also be used if it is for the good of the entire
neighborhood. He said the Council would have to make a�determination on the meth�d
of funding and whether or not the property owners should be assessed. He said, originally,
this was a State Aid Road, but the people did not want the trucks and heavy traffic, so
the State Aid road was changed to Baker Street which abuts the commercial property. He
said this roadway does collect traffic because it is the only connection between 73rd -
and Osborne in this area. ,
The City Manager said the Council would have to make the determination on how.the
amount that should be done in this area, if anything. He added, at 75th and Jackson
the traffic really starts getting heavy and continues this way to the north. The City
Manager said there would be two questions; one, if and how much of the roadway should
have sidewalks; and, secondly, how much of this should be funded. He said there are
three possible methods of installation and funding; one, assessing the abutting property
owners including the installation of the walks, replacement of the sod and drives;
two, asking the property owners to pick up the cost or installation of the sod and drives
with some State Aid funds backing up the funding of the sidewalks; or three, to complete
the entire project with funds from the General fund or State Aid Revolving Fund.
Mayor Liebl said the sidewalk construction program would meet the criteria of safety of '
the people and pedestrians in route to and from Woodcrest School in this area. He said
at the present time, the children are walking on the street. He continued he believed .
this area would meet the criteria of 1971. He said according to the resolution, this
could be done if there are funds available. He pointed out that there would have to ,
be a Public Hearing before this imQrovement is approved. i�iayor Liebl said he would
like to have more information on the improvement before there would be a Public Hearing. �
Councilman Breider said before there is any further discussion or consideration of the
matter, he would like to talk to the people of the area. He said at this time, he ,
wanted the feeling of the Council on the possibility of installation of the sidewalk.
He said he would not want the abutting property owners to be assessed completely for •
the project because it is the entire Melody Manor area that is using Jackson Street for ',
access to the School. r�e said he could not tell the abutting property owners that they ;
�

•:

had to pay for the sidewalk assessments. He explained, the main traffic of the
area is on Jackson Street.
The City Manager said he would be concerned at the policy followed in a matter such
this. He said he could see that this may be a different situation than most of the
areas in Fridley, but he would hope that if this i.s done, the Council would layout
exactly why it would be done so it does not open the door for other areas to request
such improvements. He said this would have to be explained as a special consideration.
He suggested doing more homework on the possible installation. He said perhaps, there
should be some study on the area to determine the needs. He continued, after this, if
the Council feels the area requires special cpnsideration, the question must be answered
whether or not the City should take over the 100q funding of the project. He said
other areas have been assessed for the sidewalks.
Mayor Liebl explained that many of the people in the City do not want sidewalks, and
if this is a factor in this area, the City would have to do something to provide
safe access to the School. Hw recalled the walkways to Stevenson School had been
constructed with funds from the general•fund, He said he thought some work should
be done in this area to determine the criteria.
� 7he City Manager pointed out another fact for consideration saying in some areas the
� property owners were assessed with the understanding that the City would take care
of the maintenance of the sidewalks, He said this had been done on Osborne Road and
the people were assessed 100%.
(�ayor Liebl said he would like to ask the Schoo] District for a count on the number
1 " .of children that are walking from 75th to the north to school. He said this would
provide justification for the need.
Councilman Breider said again that at the present time he would only want the feeling
� of the Council on the possibility of consideration of this construction. He said
he would like to talk to the people of the area to determine if they would favor this
plan.
., � Councilman Nee said he would like to see a survey of the entire City done if this
idea is looked into. He said the improvements should be put in the order of their
, priority. He continued saying he thought this improvement wouid be a good thing,
� basically. He recalled the City had a plan for the installation of sidewalks and this
plan is completed. He said hopefully, there should be another plan prepared with
� this area included.
Councilman Starwalt said he knew of areas in Ward II with as much justification for the
� installation of sidewalks. Councilman Breider said if this is true, ;�e wou]d support
� this installation in Ward II also. Councilman Starwalt s�id this also would be
determined by the fact if the people had to pay for the sidewalks or not.
Councilman Utter asked if the consideration of the plat proposed previously in the meeting,
�� Rice Creek Estates, was ti�ere any consideration of the sidewalks on 8enjamin Street. '
He added, there would be a good many young people who would use this Street for access
to Gardena School.
�

RECEIVING REPORT ON POOR REVENUES LOSS SITUATION AT OFF-SALE STORE #2 EAST RIVER ROAD
AND 3 TH AVENUE:
Councilman Breider asked what the current rent on the facility at East River Road is.
Mr. Bob McQuire, Liquor Store Manager, addressed the Council and replied this was $6,300
per year,
Mayor.Liebl said the members of the Council had seen the report from the City Manager
and his proposed alternatives. He said he would like to make a co�nent explaining
his thoughts on the problem. i�iayor Liebl read the following statement: .
"TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATION FROM THE DESK OF MAYOR FRANK G. LIEBL, March 9, 1974
Since price controls were removed from bottle sales of liquor in July of 1969, operating
income from our off-sale stores has gone steadily downward -
1969 - - ��150,000
1970 - - $135,0�0 - - Down $15,000
1971 - - $102,000 - - Down $33,0��
1972 - - $ 76,000 - - Down $25,000
1973 - - $ 33,000 - - Down $43,000
Net operating loss at store #1 was almost $7,000 in 1972, the last full year this store
was open.
Store #2 had a net operating loss of almost $8,000 for the fourth quarter of 1973. Since
the fourth quarter normally accounts for about one third of the annual operating profit,
there doesn't appear to be much hope for recovery at that location.
Whatever the reasons, this record makes it obvious that some decisions must be made
immediately. Some action must be taken soon to correct the problem, or we must expect
to be forced out of the business in the not too distant .future.
I sugg�st that the following steps be taken - �
1. Since the Camden bridge was closed, sales at the #2 store have dwindled
to practically nathing. To the best of our knowledge the bridge will nat
be open for two years. The best solution appears to be to close this store
and negotiate the best possible deal for termination of our Tease at that
location.
2. I suggest that we consider eliminating the position of Liquor Manager and go
to a Store Manager arrangement. We have a purchasing agent who could do the
buying. The Store Manager would put in his 40 hours'per week in the store to
which he is assigned, Bank deposits and necessary reports could easily be
arranged for. Assuming a Store Manager salary approximately $2,000 per year
� above that of the clerks and with two full time clerks to each store, the
annual payroll should be substantially reduced. Each Manager would be free
to make all the necessary decisions relating to schedule of working hours
for clerks, sale pricing dead stock, etc. - within guide lines lain down by
the City Administration. He would be responsible for successful operation
of the store. , .
Above action should result in savings to the taxpayer of $30,000 to $40,000 per year .
and help raise the net profit to an acceptable figure. If not, we shouid seriously
consider getting out of the business.
Frank G. Liebl"
Mayor Liebl said he had received and read the liquor store reports since 1966 and he
was not trying to criticize anyone. He said the liquor sales haye dropped in
all comnunities. �•iayor Liebl said he thought the CIty should be Very conscientious
in laying out a plan. He stated the City had spent a considerable amount of money
7
l0U
PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF MARCH 11, 1974 PAGE 8
in the construction of the new liquor store on Central and this location was fiaving
good sales along with the Holly Store. He felt the need to take the proper action
and cut down on the overhead of the operation. He pointed out another factor for the
loss is the action by the Legislature, saying they had put the City into this situation.
He also pointed out that when he viewed the activity at Leon's, the facility was full
of customers and they seemed to have beautiful sales there. Mayor Liebl said the
Liquor Store Manager and the Assistant Liquor Manaqer had been with the City for from
16 ta 20 years, and they would be capable of managing the two remaining profitable
stores. He mentioned some salary arrangement could be made.
Councilman Breider said he appreciated the possibilities being pointed out. He
asked if there would be a possibility of getting out of the lease at the present facility
on East River Road. ��e said he did not feel that taking a loss for the remainder of the
lease period would make any sense. Councilman Breider questioned the Finance Director
on the possibility of the Pubchasing Agent buying the liquor for the two remaining
stores if there was no manager to take care of this. He said originally the CIty
had four stores, it is down to three now and proposed for two. Councilman Breider
asked what the comparison in the fixed costs would be. The Finance Director asked•
if this would be for 1974 and Councilman Breider said yes. Councilman Breider questioned
how the labor costs for four stores could be compared to the labor costs for the two
stores. He also questioned the fact that the ]abor costs seem to be getting higher
for the amount of sales.
Councilman Breider said he would not be too excited about the prospect of putting a
trial store location on the East Rover Road and Osborne Road. Ne stated the grocery
store at this location had gone �broke, the parking would not be adequate, and he would
not�want to invest money in this corner.
Councilman Breider asked the Finance Director if he could prepare a report and tell
the Council how they could obtain a 12� net profit for the liquor sales for 7974. He
asked if a plan could be charted out.
The City Manager commented, tne deficiencies in the system should be eliminated and the
East River Road Store is not making any money. He stressed, something should be done
to eliminate the loss. He poirrced out that the sales at Central and a]so Holly are
good and he would not want the East River Road facility to eat a]1 the profits away.
He explained by just closing the door, the loss would be cut more than half. Ne
said there would have to be a plan and he asked the Council if the plan.to close the
doors of this store would be feasible at the present time.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to instruct the Adroinistration to prepare a plan to show
the City Council on how the City can turn the present situation into a net profit of
12% for the 1974 sales and that this be brought back to ;the Council by the first of
April and if this inc7udes phasing out non-profitable stores, this would be a part of
the plan. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt for discussion purposes.
Mayor Liebl said he would accept this as a second to the motion.
Councilman Starwalt said he had two questions, would this°be a long or short range
plan and what wou�d be done with the East River Road store at the present time. He
asked the possibility of an addition to the motion which would indicate that something
should be done with the East River Road Store at the present time.
Councilman Breider said it was his intent that if the pla�n would call for same present
action on closing the East River Road store, this action would be started immediately.
He said he would like the City Manager to get in contact with the lease holder on East
River Road and determine if something could be worked out.
Councilman Starwalt said if this is the intent, he would wholeheartedly second the
motion.
MOTIOW by Councilman Nee to amend the motioq to prepare the report to add that the
Liquor Store.#2 be closed immediately. Seconded by Councilman Breider.
• Councilman Breider said he thought this may be within the intent of the first motion.
The City Attorney said this was the intent of the first part of the motion.
Councilman Breider said he would WITHDRAW HIS SECOND, in this case.
Mayor Liebl declared the motion DEAD FOR LACK OF A SECOND. ,
The City Manager said this would enable him to start phasing out the operation without
closing the door immediately. ' '

ri0TI0N by T�Iahlberg, seconded by Cro�ader, to waive reading the public hearing
notice. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Charles Peugh, of Signcrafters, Inc., was present to present the request.
AZr. Peugh presented sketches of both signs to the Board and also a plot plan
of the hospital lot showing where the signs would be located.
Mr. Peugh e��plained i.hey require a variance on the size to put up two dixectianal
signs; one s�atir�g "Unity �mergency", the other stating "Unity", "Auda.torium",
"Truck Deliveries", "Eit�ployee Parkino". He said the color scheme caould be a blue
background taith white letters and red arro�as. He said the "Emergency" sign �aould
have fJ.uorescent lighting and the other would have scotchlite. The plot plan
sho;,red both si;ns located off the Osboxne entxances; the "Emergency ".sign at the
mos� easterly entxance a�nd the other at the most we.sterly entrance, both to be
placed a� the pxoper setbacks.
� Chairman Dxigans said he could see �he "Emergency" sign but why the other sign.
Mr. Peugh answexed th«t ihe kids have knocicecl the sign dosan that was there and
' the delivery nien are goi.�zo to the �axong doors. He said the hospital has to have
signs.to direct people because"of.�he many entrances. He added one largex sign
� is better rhan having many 6 square foot signs.
�
�
�
�
, .
Mr..Crocader stated he could also see the reason for having an "emergency" sign,
especially for the traffic at night, but aslced cahy the employees need a sign
�elling thetn�ahere to park. Chairn�an Drigans add�d he didn't think the hospital
needed a 24 square foot sign €or a deliv ery dixectional sign as he felt the
delivery men �aould kno�a where ttiey were to go, because of �ahat they were delivering.
Mr. Peugh answered that the deli.�>eries are not made by the same men all the ti.me
and the employee parking direction is more for the vistors, to 1et them know they
can not parlc there. .
Mrs. Wahlberg stated she couldn't see where the delivery men would come to the
fexont door when they were delivering food or supplies. She said if you have this
sign at tlie entrance, you will need a sign furt(ier in to differentiate betcaeen
deliveries. Slie also wanted to question thc �aoxding of "Unity" on the signs
instead o£ having "hospital". S2ie felt people �aho were �rom out of town wauld not
necessarily l�now "UniL-y" but would l:now "hosPital". She said they don't know that
"Unity Emer�ency" t3ould mean hosrital. � .

The Minutes of the Board of Apgeals Meeting of March 13. -1974 Page 2 1 A
Chairman Drigans stiated he felt the ambulance drivers should know where the
emergency doors are raithout having a sign to direct them. rir. Peugh ans�aered
thaC tl�e info�.-mation he has comes �xom the hospital as to what they want and
apparently they are ha.ving txouble with the drivers.
Mrs.. Wahlbexg.said_she is not objecting to the size but to the wording.
Mr. Cro�ader asked if the Board �aas to deny the variance, could the hospital put
I up 6 small 6 square foot signs. He said his biggest question is if we turn it
down, tahat happens.
Mr. Mattson read from the Ordinance the requirements on traf�ic directional
si.gns and stated there was no maxi.uaum on the number allowed.
Mr. Crowder zvondered if they could put 3- 6 square foot signs on the same
pole, .
Chainnan Arigans asked about the clearance of the signs fxom the ground. �ir.
Peugh said both ��ere 4' 6" off the ground. Chairman Drigans stated he felt
the Boaxd should consi_der the sa�ety factor of a sign beinQ only 4 feet off the
ground. He said aiLy sign that lota Z•ti11 have kids climbing on it. He said that
should be considered in the construction of it. He asked �ahy the one post
instead of t�ao. Mr. Peugh said he didn`t lcno�a how the lcids would get up on
the sign as it is only about 12 inches �aide with no hand holes. He said if you
put the sign up to high, it w ill loolc out of_pxoportion. He said the engineers
that figuxe these signs out, do tal:e wind pressuxe, etc., into consideration so
the sign is sturdy. Iie said an aduii:ional posi; would cost the hospital $200.00
extxa, and he was sure.the sign was stuxdy without it.
Mrs. Wahlberg said she objects to the additional square foo�age of the�"emexgency"
sign used fo-r decorative design. Mr. Peugh answered tha� it is not just
decorative, it is a s�eel cover. .
Cha:izman Drigans said he feJt �he sign with a centex post is going to be subject
to somebody comin; up and txying.to turn it. He said we have to look at the
safety factox with the electrical lighting in a sign that lo�a. ylr. Peugh stated
he �'elt this sign with fluorescent lighting is safer than flood lights that are
on the ground. '
Pir. Cro�ader s�ated the Board can't force him to change the lighting and the poles
as long as ii:. is in conzoxmance wi�h the Codes. Chairman Driga.ns stated that the
Board has to protect the public on items that could be satety hazards.
� �. .
Daxxel Clark, Comsnunity D�velopment Adm., added that the Board could xecommend
� the signs be tlie same height as the Ci�y trafiic signs.
�
'
�
Ghai.xznan Dri�ans said that if these si ;ns were appxoved, it could set a preceden�
in that any business dotm Osborne Foad could decide they also need•txaffic
directional signs. He said he has moxe reser.vaL-ions about the delivery directiorial
sign size. He said delivery men change, granted, but employees shouldn't need
a sign to te11 them where to park. �
Mr. Peugh said the hospital woulcln'L be spending the money tor the signs if they
dicln't teel it 3.s necessary.. . �

Mrs. Wahlberg questioned what signs were existing on the property now. She said
she thought th�re was now an emergency sign on the Uuilding and she therefore
questioned if this proposed sign is necessary. She said the hospital will
probably still�need other signs in the yard.
Mr. Plemel stated lie thought the hospital has kept �.ts yards quite nice but to
add signs that are this size seem awful garish to him. He said the hospital
must think they need it but he couldn't see why they need a sign for employee
parking .
MOTION by Cxo�ader, seconded by Plemel, to close the public heaxing. Upon a
voice vote, thcre being.no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
r�:s. �,lahlbexg sta�ed she questioned the size of si�ns being askad for first of
, all, but also ques�ioned wha� e.vists noza on the building and if it can be seen
fxo;n Osbor.ne P.oad. i-lr. Crotader said, assumir.g they have signs � on the bui.lding
now, taha� does the Eoaxd suggest they change the size to. He saic� �he Board
,� agrees that 6 squa.xe feet is too small and 75 squaxe feet to bi� but whaic size
is needed ar.d nec�ssary. �irs. �aahlberg stated that �aould be relative to �he
speed of the tra�fic and the size of the si�n needed to attract atten�ion.
� She said she didn't.lcnow t��hat size is nseded to see at 30 mph but she fe1C there
must be �i;ures and studies available. Mr. Matt�son said it also depends on the
proximity of th e sign to the r.oad.

Chairman Dxi.ga.ns stafied one of the probl.ems raith the hospital parking lot is
if someone turns the �axong way, it is hard to get to the proper doors because
of the curb�.ng. He said he �elt this is poor planning on the hospitals part.
He said the size of the signs is one problem and the clearance from the ground
is the second problem. Iie sa�d he telt �he Board tias a xight to put stipul2tions
on any sign that needs a vaxiance. He said another problem is the single post
as he felt it will attract ki.ds to push it.
MOTTON by t�7ahlberg, seconded by Plemel, to racommend to the City Council, denial
of Sign �fl, to incxease area from 6 squaxe feet to 24 squaxe feet, for the reas�n
that the directional signs within the p2opexty itself are sufficien� and the �
one on Osborne is no� necessary to g3.ve dixections �o delivery men and employees.
Upon a voice vote, Exocader vo�ing nay, the motion caxried. �
Mr. Crowder stated his reason ior voting nay is that he feels the hospital could
well use the 24 square foot si.gn if they would remove a11 the other signs with
the same infoxma�ion. �
F_
MOTION by Crowder to reconunend to the Ca.ty Counci.l denial of Sign ��2, having 75
square feeC but to xecommend appxoval of a sign t��ith 50 square feet being used.
MOTION DI�D TOR I.�CK 0� A SECOND
Mrs. �dahlberg stated she felt tlie only motion she couJ.d see on Sign ��2 was to
table iti and checic into studies of �ahat has been shown to be necessary. She
said she thought the petitioner has fail.ed to prove this size of a sign is
.. • necessary. �
MOTION by Wahlbexg, secondecl.by Plemel, to table the variance request on Si�n ��2
until the applicant or studies show a need for a sign this large. Upon a voiCe
vote, Cxowder vating nay, the motion caxried. ,

I� � Mr. Coppernoll said he has a small single car �garage and needs
this 14 foot square metal shed for storage. He was purchasing this
from Ward' s�.

Mr. Blair asked the height of the shed. Mr._Coppernoll said it
was a littl� under eight feet. Mr. Blair asked if the door was large
enough to accommodate a car. Mr. Coppernoll said the door was only
6 feet and it couldn't be used for this purpose.
Mr. Harris said the plot plan showed that this building will
be 6 feet from the side lot line, but how far will this be from
ihe house. Mr. Coppernoll said it would b� 8 feet. Mr. Harris
thought this was pretty close to the house. Mr. Clark said the
code states there has to•be 5€eet between combustibles, measured
from eave to eave, or it could be attached with a fire wall. Mr.
Harris said he thought it was 15 feet. P�Ir. Clark said�that 15 feet
applies to buildings of two different owners.
Mr. Harris said this building is 196 square feet. He asked
Mr. Coppernoll if this building would have a permanent floor.. Mr.
�Coppernoll said it wi11 have a concrete floor. Mr. Harris asked
if there would be any utilities in this building. Mr. Coppernoll
said no, it would be used strictly for storage.
Mr. Herbert Bacon, 6225 Central Avenue, said his property adjoins
Mr. Coppernoll's property and he was here just to see what the request
was about and he.had no objections.

� Mr. Harris asked Mr. Clark if the City staff was working on
any code changes on these metal storage buildings. Mr. Clark said
they have been working on the sign ordinance and the tree ordinance
and haven!t finished gathering the data from other communities. The
data they do have, it seemed like the requirement for a special use
permit caas between 200_to 300 square feet. Some cities don't require.
a permit at all for these sheds. _

I' 2. PUBLIC HEARING: TREE ORDINANCE (PETITION #4-1974)
�.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said there was no official Public Hearing
' notice published.on this hearing, but it was publicized in the paper,
as we requested at our last meeting.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said that a petition for this ordinance was
presented to the City Council with some 4,000 signatures. The Council
has 64 days to react to the petition, at which time they will have
the choice of adopting the ordinance as presented or prepare to have
it go on a referendum ballot. They can also ask for chang�s in this
ordinance, and if four of the five members of the sponsoring committee
agree to these changes, the Council can adopt the amended ordinance.
If the sponsoring conunittee doesn't agree to the changes made by the
Cc7uncil, it will still have to go to a referendum ballot. The Council
passed this p�titioned ordinance on to the Planning Commission for �
our recommendation. At that point the Commission decided to hold a
Public Hearing to get input in preparation to making a recommendation
to the City Council.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said he would like to read the petitioned ordinance
into the minutes. He said this was an ordinance prohibiting the
destruction of trees on City owned public land in the City of Fridley
except under specified conditions, and states:
The City of Fridley Does Ordain as follows:
Section 1. No person or corporation, public or private, ineluding but
not limited to the City of Fridley, its officers, employees
or agents, sha].l order or cause the injury or destruction
of any living tree on the City owned land except uncier the
following conditians:
(a) For control of verified cases of Oak Wilt or Dutch Elm
disease as provided in Cn. 28 of the Fridley City Code.
(b) For purposes of woodland management, the removal of up
to 3 tr_ees per acre per year may be perinitted, but
only after a management plan justifying such removals
has been approved by the Fridley Parks & Recreation
Subcommittee,-the Fridley Planning Commission and the
Fridley City Council. No tree r.emoval shall be allowed
under the provision of this Paragraph which is not
defined in the Plan. ,
(c) For purposes of necessary public:utility construction,
but only after the preparation of a detailed plan and
approval by the authorities named in Paragraph "b" abov
No,such plan shall be�•approved which does not provide
for reforestation and restoration of the Tand to its
original condition.
Section 2. Trees measuring less than 3 inches in diameter at �a point
� 4 ft. above ground are exempt from the provisions of this
� ordinance.

Section 3. Nothing in this ordinance shall be construed to prevent
the routine trimming of trees in street right of way.
Section 4. Any person who violates this ordinance shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor. The injury or destruction of each
protected tree shall be a separate violation.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said this is the ordinance that has been
referred to us for our recommendation. Any changes the Planning
Commission or Council might wish to make are limited to keeping the.
intent of the ordinance. If the sponsoring committee doesn't agree
witli any proposed changes, it will still have to go to a referendum
vote as required in our City Charter.
�-�- .
Nir. Fitzpatrick said he had received two letters that should be
in the minutes. iie would read them and then the Planning Commission
could receive them.
;
/Mr. Fitzpatrick said the first letter was from the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources and was written to Jerrold Boardman,
Planning Assistant of the City of Friciley.
�"Re:—Proposed City of Fridley Tree Preservation and Management
Ordinance.
In the brief time provided, the
' has reviewed the proposed ordinance
trees on city owned public land in
�
'
�
,
,
'
'
,
Department of Natural Resources
prohibiting the destruction of
the City of Fridley.
The intent of the ordinance is to preserve the existing trees.
Therefore, it is not for the purpose of woodland management but
rather for the purpose of woodland preserva�ion. No management plan
to provide for a viable healthy stand of trees could be predicated
upon the rerioval of only three trees per acre per year. Therefore,
we belive that the wording of paragraph B should read: "for the
purpose of.woodland preservation the removal", and so forth.
We are not certain as to the reason for exempting trees measuring
less than three inches in diameter at a point four feet above the
ground from the provisions of this ordinance. We would assume that
the intent would be to create a park-like situation with only larger
trees preserved, however, in areas where larger trees do not exist
it would appear that it would be desirable to retain smaller trees with
the spacing desired by the city to create a park-like affect.
Due to the short noticet, we regret that we were unable to arrange
for a Department of Natural Resources representative to attend your
meeting, but we trust that this assessment of the proposed ordinance
will be usefull to you. Sincerely, C.B. Buckman, Deputy Commissioner."
MOTION by B1air, seconded by Drigans, that the P.Zanning Commission
xeceive the Ietter from the Department of Natural Resources, dated
March 19, 1974. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously. .

Plannin Commission ME:eting - March 20, 1974 � Page 5
Chairman Fitzpatrick than read into the minutes the letter
from Northern States Power Company dated March 20, 1974, and
addressed to the Fridley Planning Commission.
"Re: City of Fridley Ordinance
We want to be certain restrictions are not placed on us that
would prevent us from providing good reliable electric service.
Changes listed below would be recommended:
�
Section 1 Paragraph C--- Omit last sentence --- no such plan
shall be approved which does not provide for reforestation and the
restorati.on cf. the land. to its original condition.
;Section 111 Amend Section 3--- nothing in this ordinance shall
be construed to prevent the routine trimming of trees in street right-
of-way or utility easement right-of way.
� Your eonsiderution of these sugge5tions would be appreciated. •

Sincerely, John F. Ranck, Municipal Services Respresentative,
North Division."
MOTION by Harris, seconded by Lindblad, that the Planning Commission

1974.' Upon a voice vote, all voting a�e, the motion carried unanimously.

Chairman Fitzpatrick said that if it was possihle he would like
the people who have positive �`eelings about'this ordinance to alternate
with people who have negative feelings about the ordinance, in coming
to the microprione.
Mr. Bill Nee, 219 Logan Parkway, said that concerning the Northern
States Power Company letter, he would like to get a little feed-back.
In Section lll, where they propose to ask for utility easement right-
of-way he wondered if that's necessary to the extent it's on public
land and is permitted,' and to the extent it's �i�t on public land,
it's not regulated. Mr. Nee asked if this was the way the Planning
Commission read the ordinance.
�. •
Chairman Pitzpatrick said to the extent it's on priva�e land, it
isn't regulated,�but on public land, it is.
Mr. Nee said he understood. He said he saw the point of the
comment on Paragraph C. It is mainly the concern of trees growing up
and interfering with overhead utilities, If it �ead, "except where
they interfere with overhead utilities", could that be worked out
rath�r than a complete deletion of the sentence. We should find some
�way to provide language, without any deletion.
Mr. John Ranck, Nort�hern States Power Company, said that the
ordinance attempting to regulate the City's removal of trees has
�nothing to do �vith our. every day business. In that light, we are
not opposed to this ordinance. We want to make sure that there aren't
�

2E
� Planning Commission Meeting - March 20, 1974 Page 6
things in this ordinance that prohibits us from providing services
which the City of Fridley requires from us. Usually when we remove
a tree, it is to remove a danger. If a tree grows up into high
voltage line, the.tree is either going to be killed or it can be
energized and cause a hazard to someone walking by. It can cause�
momentary outages, which while this doesn't cause too much of a
problem in a residential area, it can cause big problems for a
commer_cial enterprise. They may have a con�puter or tape driven
equipment. Momentary outages can caus� machines to lose control. We've
had problems with this before. Also, in the case of high winds .
where trees have been blown over into our lines and in order to get
these lines back in order, sometimes we have to remove some trees to
get into an area with our heavy equipment, to repair the lines. 4Ve
ceouldn't have time during an emergency to come to me�etings to get .
permission to remove these trees. �^7e are a service company and it
is our job to repair electric lines as soon as possible. This ordinance
is not aimed at us , and we'd really like to be exempt from the whole
ordinance. '�
Chairman Fitzpatrick said all of Paragraph C is aimed at the
public utilities. � _
Mr. Ranck said that in the past, where they have had to remove
trees to put in an underground system, they have put the trees back
and re��laeed the sod. He said the company thought problems coulci
come fram this ordinance that they couldn't anticipate at the present
time . � �
Mr. Drigans said you stated that North�rn States Power Company
� requ�sts to be relieved of the whole ordinance. Is it the position
of N.S.P. that this is not a good ordinance?
i
i
I�
��
'
'
�I
�
�
Mr. Ranck said they ti�ere fully cognizant of the reasans for this
ordinance and we don't feel it was written with Northern States Power
Company in mind. Because tree trimming is important to us and
also the keeping of tree� we aren't against a tree ordinance. We have
a large tree management program on the St. Croix. We just don't want
to get embroiled in something that doesn`t pertain to us . In case
of a bad storm, we wauld not want to end up in Court trying to perform
our regular job. Under this ordinance, we can't do business in Fridley.
as we have been, and we would like the two considerations men�ioned
in our letter to be given consideration. We would like to be zelieved
of the entire ordinance.
Mrs. Helen Treuenfels, 5248 Horizon Drive, said she was one of
the people who circulated the petit�ion. She said that Mr. Ranck
stated that he was sure this ordinance had nothing to do with Northern
States Power Company and that we all know why this ordinance was written
which is true. Some of the comments that were made by the people I
approached might be rel�vant here. A number of people commented that
they were signing thispetition, not just for North Park, but also
because of what happened in Locke Park. They felt the N.S.P. wires
that went across Locke Park despoiled the City. They were interested �
in North Park, but they felt the util�it� companies should have to pay
attention to w�iat we need.in Fridley too. They don't want this ordinanc

written for the benefit of Northern States Power Company.
Mr. Clark sa�d.as he reads the ordinance, it does pertain to
public utili�ies; and he didn't know if it pertains to street con- �
struction, but let's say it does. Then Paragraph C, that Northern
5tates Power Company is concerned about, would make it practically
impossible to build a street where there was forest or trees. If you
had to put the trees back after you put in the street, it would
be impossible to use the street. ��lhile he thought there should be
a plan submitted to_the different bodies mentioned in Paragraph B,�
the point of_ restoration shauld be qone into a little more thorough�y.
It should be determined what restoration really is necessary. Would
grading, soding and the planting of boulevard trees be permitted, or
d��s it meaii that t-rees have to be planted back from where they were
ariginaJ_ly removed.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said he would think that would be part of the
plan at the time it was submitted. Mr. Clark said the ordinance does
say restor_ation of the land back to its original condition. He�thought
this part of the ord'inance should be mod�fied somewhat.
Mr. Clark said there may be other instances where a private owner
' may want to remove a boulevard tree. The tree in the boulevard could
be a short lived tree and as the other trees in his yard matured, it
might b� good tree management to remove the boulevard tree. If there
' were more than three of these in the street right-of way, it would
would prohibit the removal of this tree. Mr. Clark thought there
should b� some provision for that person to get a permit to remove it.
'
j
�
�
I��
,
'
,
�
Mr. Fitzpatrick asked what the policy was now. Mr. Clark said
�here was no permit required. Peo�le should call in if they want
to remove a tree and it would be inspected. If it should be removed
they would be given permission to do so. �
Mr. Harris asYed if �e had an ordinance covering this. Mr. Clark
said he couldn't state vahere it was covered, but no one would be allowed
to dig a big hole in street right of way to remove a tree without
permission. Mr. Harris said that he knew that in Minneapolis, the only
one who could remove a boulevard tree was the Park Board.
Mr. Clark sai.d the City probably does need a.good tree management
ordinance, but it should be something the City could live with.
Mr. C.. M. Kam, 120 Talmadge Way N.E., said that in reference to
the strees in the street right-of way, he thought..that through t�e tax
process of the City, that the property owner was responsible for the
grass up to the curb. F'or example, and this is relating to voting,
if someone puts a poster on that land between the road and your property
..which you are taxable for, even if you relate �ourself to maintaning
that boulevard and keeping it presentable, that you have the right to
leave it there, or give the right to have a sign put there without
any one else complaining. So I don't believe the City has anything to
do with, at the present time, if you have a tree that is detrimental
to your area, that you haven't got the right to remove it. This has
nothing �o do with the ordinance tonight. This is a separate issue.

Mr. Kam said he thought that if it was looked up, the taxpayer is
responsible for everything up to the roadway.
� Mr. Clark said that it is true tha� the City doesn't go out and
cut the grass on the boulevard. The private owner is responsible�for
main�aining the boulevard in front of his own house. I haven't
searclied the ordinancc�hat far to determine haw it would affect the
boulevards. If some neighbor called in and complained about another
neighbor cutting down a boulevard tree, we wo•uld try to da.scourage tha�
from happening. In some cases, the boulevard trees have been plan�ted
by the City. F'or about two or three years, there was an intensive
tree pragram going on.
Mr. Blair asked if any member of the sponsoring committee was
presen-� in the audience because he was concerned how this ordinance
vrould affect the parks and recreation program of the City of Fridley.
He said that Section l, Paragraph B, that only allows 3 trees per acre
to be removed would stop the park development program in Fridley. He
said they have eight parks they were ready to develo� and there was
no way they could be developed under this.ordinance. Mr. Blair said
he was not opposed i:.o having a tree ordinance,.but this ordinance �-�as
too restrictive in its present form.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said he didn't see any members of the sponsoring
committee in the audience.
Mr. Harry Crowder, 146 63rd Way N.E., said as he interprets this
ordinance, it would pertain to any tree on anyone's boulevard. If
I read this right, I can't do injury to that tree. If the kids climb
on it and break a branch, I won't be able to trim that tree until I
get permission from the Parks & Recreation Commission, the Planning
Commission and the City Council.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said it would be his interpretation that you were
not injuring that tree by reasonable tree trimming.
Mr. Nee said he'd like to underscore that the process we're in
is sort af an exorabl� process. At this point, it behooves us to
make those adjustments that should be made, bearing in mind that
they should be in line with the purposes of this ordinance. For
instance, Darrel Clark brought�up the question o� streets. Alr. Nee
said he could see what he meant and if there is a question on whether
you could legally build a street, that probably should be clarified.
T don't think it's inconsistant with the intent of the ordinance. The
purpose of this hearing is to find some way to work it out and I think
this pertains to N.S.P. also. If you can find some way to work it out
that four out of the five sponsoring committee mer,bers would accept
it as to �vhether or not there should be some type of waiver procedure.
As far as the boulevard trees, this ordinance would be more of a
protection than a hindrance, because more often the municipality
decides they want to widen a roadway and goes through and cuts all
the trees down in the boulevard. Maybe there should be a Section �3,A,
or somet,hing that provides for emergencies. He said there should be
a consiructiv� ap�roach to this and recognize�that something like this
will go before`the electorate. We should try to work out the wrinkles

in the ordinance so people can live with it.
Mr. Lindblad said that in addition to Mr. Blair's statem�nt, he
would like to have thought given to a proposal the Plar..��Lng Commission
had aiscussed before and that was a tree nursery for Fridley. Under
this ordinance, the City wouldn't be able to move these trees for
replanting in other areas. �
Mr. Harris said as long as this has been brought up, he would
like to see a City nursery and reforestration program tacked an ta
this ordinance.
Mr. Paul Brown said they have picked out one or two sites where
the Parks Department plans to have a nursery but it is up to ou.r
departent to submit this for the 1975 budget. Mr. Harris asked if it
would help to tack a section onto this ordinance. Would it help to
get �his r.ursery set up instead of just having the idea. NIr. Brown
said this would have to be set up as a yearly program, stipulating
a certain amount of money that could be spend on the program.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said the references made here are to a
proposal that has been made for the last �ew years, by the Parks
and Recreation Commission, the Planning Commmission and the general
public, that the City get into a nursery program so they would have
trees available to plant around the City.
Mr. Kam said that he was in favor of horticulture, but as to adding
this as an addendum on this ordinance, he thought it would have a
tendency to destroy this ordinance. This would in affect be raising
our tax�s, and hP didn't believe it should be added.
Mr. Harris said he didn't think we were talking about that much
money. He said he wanted to call it to the attention of the Councilmen
present that the City seemed.to be able to come up with the money for
other things.
M�. Brown said the program set up at the time of the.tornado was a
three year program and it cost between $4600 to $5,000.
. Mr. Har�is said he�didn't think it was the Planning Commission's
' intent to have that kind of program. That program was for much larger
trees. We're talking about a seedling pr�gram, a�$500 program.
' Chairman Fitzpatrick said Mr. Kam's point that this could give
opposition to this ordinance that it might not otherwise have, has
to be considered. ; • �

Mr. Fitzpatrick said he would like to state again, that the Council
has the option of adopting this ordinance as presented, or recommending
changes that are agreeable to four of the five members of the sponsor-
�.ng co.mmittee or else it goes to a referendum vote. He said we have
to bear in mind that the sponsoring committee isn't going to agree
with any changes that depart from the spirit of the ordinance.� This .
petition was signed by 4,000 people and they are not going to take
lightly tYie decision to agree to any changes. �

Mrs. Barbara Hughes, 548 Rice Creek Terrace, said the Council
can adopt an amend�d ordinance and if this is not satisfactory to
the committee, it will still go to a referendum.
Mr. Drigans asked the representativefrom Northern States Power
Company if he was aware of the proposed tree ordinance for Edina,
Minnesota. Mr. Drigans said he thought this ordinance should be
read to�tb� people, so they could be aware of what another community
was in the process of doing as to a tree ordinance.
Mr. Clark said that this Edina ordinance pertains to private �
property and not to public property. It excludes the City, so as
a tree ordinance it is quite difterent from the proposed ordinance
for Fridley. .

� Chairman Fitzpatrick said this ordinance is similar to the
ordinance they have in Carmel, California, where you can't touch
any tree, anytime, without a hearing. This type of ordinance is being
� adopted many places. �
� Mrs. Treuenfels said she thought this was wonderful. We can run
� our Parks & Recxeation Depar.tmentfrom the $10 per tree we get from
the Inspection Department.
Mr. Brown said he noticed on the top of the Edina Ordinance that
, it was a preliminary draft. Mr. Clark said this is a pending ordinance
that hasn't been adopted yet. He said that Edina has a tree disease
ordinance and a zaning ordinance covering the planting of trees in
� the boulevard. iYZr. Brown said Fdina's ordinance No. 1035 is probably
the�oiie.on diseased trees and ordinance No. 817 is on plans for
development. °

Mr. Walt Starwalt, 1021 Hackmann Circle, said he wanted to speak
as a citizen and to charge the Planning Commission with coming up
with an ordinance that was beneficial and worthwhile to the City of.
`Fridley, that will be acceptable to the five petitioners, and �aill
also serve the purpose for which it came about, and tliis was quite a
task. As far as the ordi_nance is concerned, they have mentioned Oak
Wilt and Dutch Elm disease, and I think it should include other diseases
if not mentioned specifically by name. It should include diseased that
are detrimental to viable growt.h. You can't limit it just to two things.
He continued, that on growth less than 3 inches in diameter, there are
times ���hen no growth should be removed. In other words, when is a
tree a tree. H� said you can buy some saplings for 5 cents apiece and
hold 100 of thern in your hand. On Section 111, he believed this�.,.
section shoulct be expanded to read that nothing in this ordinance shall
be construE�d to prevent the routine trimming of trees in street right-
of-way except that non-viable growth can be taken. This would be
a tree that has been damaged in some way, and its future is uncertain.
It wi11 never be a tree of beauty.
Chairman Fitzpatrick�said that other diseases were considered in .
writing the present ordinance the City has for diseased trees (Ordinance
No. 481). One of the fears was that if the di.seases weren't mentioned
specifically that trees with other diseases would be taken. Tree
management people will tell you that outs�.de of these two diseases, •
other diseases can be treated and the tree can continue to live and groca
Some people go so far as to say the dead trees are where wildlife make
their homes, but your point was very well taken, and it was considered
at the time the other ordinance was written.
�
Mr. Willis Unke, 1422 Trollhagen Drive, said he thought the petition
does address �he manner in which the Park Board can develop it's parks.
He said the statement was made that you can't develop a ball diamond �
without the removal of trees. He said there probably should be some
provision made when the Park Department feels a ball diamond is more
valuable than the trees.. He thouc�ht they need to determine how and
to what purpose we have a park. There may be another area where �he
ball diamond could be located without removing trees.
- . . � . ��
, Planning Commission Meeting - March 20,-1974 • Page 14
��. Mr. Blair said the Park Department had just acquired a 3 acre
' site that has some trees on it, and as part of the development of
the park, they want to include a ball diamond. The near�st ball
diamond is 8 blocks a�vay. I don't know how we would justify telling
' pe.ople is this area that they can't have a ball diamond because we
can't remove any trees. Mr. Unke waid tlzis is the crux of the whole
discussion. D�aybe some provisian could be put in the ordinance for
' the development of ball diamonds. He couldsympathize with the Park
Department's position.
'• Chairman Fitzpatrick said we also have a 124 acre site that is
heavily forested that would be difficult to develop a certain way,
also.
Mr. Harris asked Mr.•Nee how this ordinance would aff ect the
Islarid of Peace -project. �
Mr. Nee said that because the basic development of the Islands
of Peace is completed and Gil Hodges Island is not City owned and
Durnam Island is not City o��med so this is not entirely o�aned by
the City. Part of it is owned by the County and this ordinanc�
has nothing to do with County oumed prope�ty or County right-of-way.
Nr. Nee said he would doubt if this ordinance would have any real
effect on this project. If this ordinance had been in existance a
year ago, there may have been some problems.
Mr. Harris Mr. Nee what we are trying to get with this ordinance,
wild.area preservation or woodland management.
Mr. Nee said he didn't thin:k he should respond to this question
because he didn't represent the sponsoring committee. He said he
had some views of his own from circulating this petition. He said
the public signed this petition for many reasons, a couple being
that they didn't want North Park d�srupted for a golf course and a
feeling that they simply did not like the �dea of bulldozers knocking
down trees willy-nilly. He said re thouc�hi� thc: suc�ess of the petition
is an expression of.a.,prc�found lack af contidence in Cit� government.
They felt they eou3cln-'t trust tY�e City to protect �'the trees. As far
as what you will have to deal with when you speak with the sponsoring
committee, he couldn't say, but he had a feeling about it.
Mr. Harris said in the,letter from Mr. Buchman of the Department
of Natural Resourses he said something about creating a park-like
affect. This would not be woodland management.
Mr. Nee said this petition doesn't require anyone to cut down a
3�inch tree, it just doesn't protect them. He said he was not sure
what distinction Mr. Buckman was making. .
Mr. Harris said he had a list put out by the Park
' Fridley which lists the trees that do we11 in Fridley
do not. You could class them as desirable trees and
� not so desirable. He said that trees like Box Elders
� do serve a purpose, but if they were choking out Oak
might be well to remove that type of tree.

Planning Commission Meeting - March 20, 1974 Page 15
Mr. Nee said people have different opinions of what is a desirable
treeo
Chairman Fitzpatrick said he thought what the Department of
Natural Resources letter was suggesting is a more-elaborate definition.
In certain places, maybe certain trees should be protected below the
3 inch limit. They are suggesting more detail.
Mr. Kam said that little trees grow to be big trees. A Red Pine
seedling will grow 8 to 12 inches a year until it reaches about 6 feet
and then it grows 12 to 18 inches a year. A White Pine will grow .
20 to 36 inches a year after it reaches a height of 8 feet. These
are two nice trees for restoration. If you take out trees like this
because they are under 3 inches, this would be �etrimental. to the
purpose of the ordinance. He said he would like to call it to the
attention of the representatives of Northern States Po�a�r Company tha.t
it would take 22 years for a Norway Pine or Red Pine, from a seedling
sta�re, to interfere with their lines. He said to have proper woodland
management, you should only take the tre�s smaller than 3 inches that
you know wouldn't come up good. He said he was referring to Mr.
Harris's question on�whether this ordinance was for woodland management
or a park-lik� affect. He said he could pZant.trees on his property
so that you couldn't walk through, and he thought this was woodland
management.
Mr. Harris said he was referring to open space land. He said are
we looking for a.wild area or a park-like affect.
Mr. Kam said his understanding of this petition was that we were
trying to keep certain areas of City property in a woodland stage. If
we let trees come out of an apen area, t�vo years later its an open
field and a prairie chicken couldn't live there. Then what do we do,
we buy trees and start planting them. He said the City of Minneapolis
is spending 17 million dollars to buy park land to create parks. 'I'�.�enty
years ago they had all the park land they wanted and they destroyed it.
I think we see �ar enough ahead, as citizens, and we dan't want that
to happen here. Mr. Kamfasked Chairman Fitzpatrick if he understood
it correctly that if the Council adopted an ordinance that was satis-
factary to i�he sponsoring committee, this would not go to a referendum
vote.
Chairman Fitzpatrick s�aid if the Council adopted an ordiance that
was satisfactory to the sponsoring commit�ee, there would be no reason
for a ref�rendum.
Mr. Harris said lets talk about.the 125 acres, He said he was
up there the other day and saw a lot of wild life potential. If we
move in there and make it a park-like affect, it will destroy this
area for a wild life habitat. If we leave it as it is, it may be
goad for the wild life, but.it will be inaccessible to people. Mr.
�Narris. said if its not spelled out in the ordinance what . ttie purpose
of the ordinance is, then we don't know if they want a park-like
affect or woodland management. �

They can change this ordinance, but within 10 days of the adoption

Mr. Clark said the sponsoring committee has a certain number of
days to appeal. If they haven't come to an agreement within 10 days,
the ordinance will go to a referendum vote.

Mr. Starwalt said he knew the signers of the petition signed it
for many reasons. He said he would have to disagree with Mr. Nee
that one of �he reasons was because peoPle had a dim view of City
government.- He though people had a dim view of certain Council
action a� a particular time, and I think a 1ot of peaple signed this
petition because they wanted to vote on the use of North Park. He
said he believed most of the signer_s did not read the ordinance, they
were just for mother, God, Country and trees. Mr. Nee said he would
moderate his statement on a profound lack of confidence and take out
profound. .
Chairman Fitzpatrick said anyone who is passing a pefition should
ask the person to read the petition before they ask to have it signed.
Mr. Starcaalt said the contact he has had with people who were
interested in this petition said that there was a:careful effort on
the part of the people circulating this petition to make sure that the
person signing was a registered voter, but at a certain point in time,
"this effort was slacked off. Mrs. Treuenfelssaid this was because th�xe
is a change in voter registration. People can register the day of
the el.ection now, so anyone who signed this petition could be registered
to vote before this petition camE to a vate. _
Mr. Starwalt said he knew the people were given the opportunity
to read the petition, but a lot of them did not do so. He asked
where are all the pQOple who were so interested in this petition.
He was sure a large crowd was expected for this meeting and it isn't
here. This is a sample of what the City Council contends with�also.

Chairman Fitzpatrick said this does point up one of the weaknesses
of th� petitioning system� but we can't�assume that the majority of
people signed the petition without reading it. Mr. Starwalt said he
was basing his assumption on the contacts he had made and the people
who contacted him. �
Mr. Fitzpatrick introduced Brother Sullivan who was representing
the Environmen-�a1 Quality Commission at this meeting. -
Brother Sullivan said he was asking far some clarification. If
this or_dinance goes to a re£erendum vote, wi11 the entire petition
be put on the ballot? Mr. Fitzpatrick said that it would. Brother
Sullivan said he wondered how many people will read it through before
they vote on it. He said.he was one of the circulators of the petition
also, and he made sure that everyone read the petition before th��.�
signed it, and they did�ask questi.ons also. As far as the EnvirQnmental
Quality Commission, at their meeting of D�arch i_2, 1974, they accepted
this ordinance as it was written. As the Commission was established
by the City to watch the environment of the City, we believed this
was needed by Fridley.
Mr. Warren Johnson, Northern States Power Company, said he �aould
like to respond to the gentleman who talked about trees growing in
the right-of-way under transmission lines. He said it is true that
t�ecs- can grow under these lines, bu�. in an emergency situation
where they would have to come in with heavy equipment, these trees
would make it very difficult to do a proper job.
Mr. Harris said that if this was the case, how come you allowed
a building to be constructed under your transmission lines.
Mr. Johnson said that happens in isolated cases, and there must
be adequate clearance and the building can't be built any higher.
Buildings can't grow. Mr. Harris said they can catch on fire. Mr.
Johnson said this was true. Mr. Harris said the case in point was
a furniture store that was built after the transmission lines were in.
. ' •
Mr. Nee said he thought Northern States Power Compan� should
put into their recommendation more specifically where this ordinance
could be a problem. Mr. Nee said that in Locke Park, they were not
on public land. They were on N.S.S.S.D, right-of-way.He asked if the
repr_esentatives of N.S.P._could.give a specific area where they might
have problems with this ordinance, instead of gen�eralities.
Mr. Ranck said they might have to take out some trees on the
boulevard on Mississippi..
' Mr. Nee said that what he was getting at was that in the new
developments, �.hey were going to underground utilities. iie said he
had been sitting there thinking about where this could be a problem
' -�for utility companies and trying to determine where they would be
developing on public land.

have tree management programs ourselves. We try to make our sub-
stations blend in the best we can. We have to have electrical enerqy.
Mr. Nee said if this was a zeal problem, we'd have to amend the
proposed ordinance, but I can't see any real problem.
Mr. Ranck said if we take out a tree, there is a safety reaspn.,
and we don't want to put it back. He said that after the tornado,
N.S.P. had to take out many trees on public right-of-way to get
service res�ored. He said it wasn't �heir job to take out the trees
at that time, but the City had all they could handle. He said tha�t�
when it was possible to replace a tree, they alEaays replaced it with
one of equal value.
..Mrs. Hughes.said she would be very concerned that we grant these
emer_gency powers to N.S.P.,.but she wouldn`t want them to cut a half
mile caide path though a park. There may be times when they will have
to go in to make a major correction. T_ am not against them having
emergency powers, but I am not in favor of giving them wholesale pawer
in the City.
Mr. Ranck said the letter f_rom N.S.P. asked for some minor changes
in the ordinance and they were not asking for wholesale power.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said the needs of the utility companies would
be considered in the recorunendation of the Planning Commission.
Mr. Neil Christensen, 608 63rd Avenue N.E., said that concerning
5ection l, 1�, for control of verified cases of Oak v�ilt and Duuch
Elm disease, that there are a variety of other diseases that trees
can have, but these. are the two that are the most difficult �o control.
Other tree diseases can be controlled. Also, on the construction
of baseball diamonds and other things on public property, he personally
thought we had quite a iew baseball diamonds at the present time. P�ir.
Brown has donc an eycellent job on this. He said he didn't think they
would need a baseball diamond at North Park. In some park� we could
use more trees sa this could b� a benefit from the propo5ed ordinance.
Mr. Christensen said that as far as cottonwood. trees and cutting them
down to e�iminate the cotton problem, this would mix up the natural
succession of the forest in the North Park area. They should leave the
trees alone. Let them ].ive and_die normally. He �hought that there
should be minor changes made in the proposed ordinanc� and that should
be submitted to the Council, rather than writing a new ordinance.
Chairman Fitzpatri.ck said they had expected a larger crowd at
this hearing. He said some of the supporters of this ordinance had
contacted him after the Public Hearing date had been set, and took
the position that we would want to hear more from people who did not
support this ordinance. Mr. Fitzpatrick said he didn't know if he
agreed with tlii5, but this could explain why we don't have a crowd.
Mrs. Treu�nfels said this has been well publicized. The people.
knew there were sufficient siqnatures so the Councf.l will have�to do
something about this ordinance, whether they want to or not. We don't
have tb plead gur case any longer.

• Brother Sullivan said we could also assume that some of the
' people who �signed the original petition, after attending this meeting
or reading the minutes of the meeting, might change their mind on this
ordinance and vote against it. _
Mrs. Treuenfels said this is fine. The people have demanded the
right to vote on this issue and they can vote anyway they want to.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said we are having this hearing so we can
return the proposed ordinance back to the Council. with our recommendatio
Mr. I�Tee said that just for his own information, he wondered if we
� could go through the ordinance briefly and define where the problem
areas might be. He said that as a responsible membe�r of the Council,
I think we need to identify the areas that won't work �nd we need to
� : judicate them. We have the questions of N.S.P., the question if
parks can be developed, the question of if roads can be built.
1 Chairman Fitzpatrick said there should be an avenue oi' appeal
....in this ordinance. It is pretty absolute. Maybe there isn't any way
. we�can provide for an appeal without leaving loopholes we don't want.

�
Mr. Harris asked who was going to administer this ordinance.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said the ordinance does not say, but it is implied
that someone would admini5ter it.
Mr. Harris said would it be the Engineering Department, a naturalist
� forestry manager or what. Mr. Clark said the�e would not have to an
administrator for the ordinance, it would �ust have to be enforced.
� Mr. Harris said i�ahat would the City do if it wanted to extend
Main Street, for instance. �aould the Engineering Department prepare
the plan. Mr. Clark said yes, and then the plan would go through
the channels as stated in the ordinance. Mr. Harris said then the
� Council would have the final say on any proposed plan. r2r. Clark said
•this was correct.
1�. � Mr. Harris asked who was going to administer the taking of three
trees an acre. Mr. Fitzpatrick said we ha,ve some of these functions
assigned to the Park Department at the pre'sent time. He asked Paul
' Brown if he thought this ordinance seemed to call for personnelwe
don't a.lready have. He said he knew Paul has acted as the City for�ster
�

�
,
Mr. Brown said that in Section l, B, where it states there can
be removal of 3 trees per acre per year, and that this has to be
approved by the Parks & Recreation Subcommittee, the Fridley Pl.anning
Commission and the Fridley City Council, and the City administration
is under the command of all�three of these bodies. The conclusion
�ou have to come to will depend upon the equipment we have. At this
i:ime the City of Fridley.has very little equipment for the removal
of trees. Based on our ordinance concerning Dutch Elm and Oak Wi1�L,
any removal of trees under this ordinance has to be done by the property
owner at his o�n expense. If he doesn't do it, then the City moves in
and does it. At this time, the City always refers it to a professional

tree service and have them remove the tree.
Mr. Clark said that on any public land where the City might
want to put up a public building, if it was a wooded area, they would
no� be able to construct this buia_ding if more than thre� trees an.
acre l�ad to be removed. We wouldn't have been able to build City
Hall, the Fire Station or move the 11 Frame to a park, under this
ordinance. Mr. Bro�an said we may have to build a few more pump
stations and filtration plants at some time also.
�: Mr. Brown said he would like to make comment on N.S.P.'s proposal
in that the City also has a problem of tree trimming and tree
maiiztenance in the par}�s, so Section 3 c�ould also have to allow the
Park Departmerii�to do some routine trimming of trees within a park.
� This is dor_e by the utility compani�s, the Public Works Department
anc:i :tYie Par}c Departn,en�. The petitioned ordinanee only allows for
tree trimming on street right-of-way.

b90TION by B1air, seconded by
close the Pub.Zic Hearing on the t
a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the
Lindblad, that the Planning Com.mission
ree ordinance (Petition 4-Z974). Upon
motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Clark said the Couricil has to adopt an ordinance by May 6th.
To give the Council time to consider the Planning Commission's recom-
mendation, they should have this recommendation by their first or
secand meeting of April. He said the Planning Commission should give
themselves April 3rd as a deadline for this recommendation.
Mr. Blair said he would want the Council made aware of the impact
of this ordinance on the Park Department.
Mr. Lindblad asked if it was up to the Planning Commission to
recommend cYianges in this ordinance.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said that maybe one of the approaches, less than
actually writing changes in this ordinance, would be to bring it to
the Council's attention ivhat concerns we have and what provisions
"need to be made. �

Mr. Drigans -said we don't know the intent of this ordinance. We
don't know the reasons 4,000 people signed the petition. .
Chairman Fitzpatrick said the-�City Council has passed this ordinance
down to us for our recommendation, and he thought that was our charge.
With only two weeks to work in, I don't see how we can rewrite this
ordinance. � •
Mr. Drigans said the intent of the Council was to

Hearing and our
ordinance ar.d
they can then
the referendum
Mr. Paul Brown said this ordinance was so written that it is
impossible to live with. If those five.people who represent the
4,000, have already made up their mind that k�hat ever alternative
you come up with, they are not going to aqree with, then you've
got a refer�=TlC�um vote. This is what Mrs. Treuenfels said during the
Public Hearing. If you come up with an alternate ordinance, the people
who want North Park as a nature center will vote for the petitioned
ordinance and the people who want a golf course will vote for the
City.proposed ordinance. cahy doesn't this ordinance cover heavy
industrial zoned property. Tlze proposed orciinance trom Edina covers
all property. Mr. Clark said it covered all property except what
was• owned by the City. Mr. Brown said as an example of industrial
development, what if the Minnesota T ransfer Railway sells all their
property North of North ParY. Say they sold. to a trucking company
who wanted to relocate. They come out here and see those four or.
five thousand trees and say we've got to park trucks th�re. This
ordinance doesn't stop them from knocking all those trees down and
putting in a big parking'lot. Bill Drigans talked about.the different
reasons people signed this petition. One of the reasons was because �
when N.S.S.S.D. whipped through Locke Park many years ago and made
a big air strip out there, there was no reforestation. The City shouid
have made them put the trees back in at that time. : .
..
Chairman Fitzpatrick asked Mr. Drigans if it was his recommendation
that the•City write another tree ordinance and return this one without
change? �
-Mr. Clark said that to alter the proposed ordinance to fit all
the comments made at the Hearing would be impossible. The committee
is not going to agree to losing controi of all.the parks.
Mr-. Lindblad said that what worried him is if you have a special
electian on these two different ordinances, and this would usually be
a liglit vote, if the vote was divided by how they want North P.ark�
to be used, we might.end up with this ordinailce that no one could
work with. What would the City do then?

�• Mr. Harris said if this ordinance passed in its present form,
we couldn't.build a road, couldn't trim park trees, couldn't develop
eight park sites, and caulfln't construct any public buildings. Mr.
Clark said that even if North Park was going to be used for a nature
cFnter, they couldn't construct any type of building for this center
if it involved tree removal.
Brother Sullivan asked how these three trees per acre would be
figured. In North Park far instance, there are 124 acres. Could
you takr 3 x 124 and take that may trees out of one area, or would
each acre be figur_ed by itself. What is the magic number?
r�r. Clark said it would even be possible to build a golf course
if the trees removed couZd use the entire site to fsgure the number
of trees that could be removed. .'
Mr. Fitzpatrick said that some of the concerns we�have are
not incompatible with the ordinance.
- Mr. Clark said t�ere has to be some way to circumvent only
taking three trees per acre.
Mr. Drigans said we could spend a lot of time trying to adapt
this ordinance to allow development of Fark property and the other
things pertaining to pa.rks, but I think we are defeating the intent
of this ordinance. He asked Paul. Bro�on and Donald Blair if they
thought the proposed Edina ordinance was workable for the City of
Fridley. Mr. Brown said he thought it was. �
Mr. Harris said he wasn't in favor of extending anymore policing
of private property. Mr. Drigans said you cari change ev�rything in
the Edina ordinance from private to public.
Mr. Clark said that i.f the City Cauncil was forced into adopting
the petitioned ordinance;they would really strap themselves.
Mr. Harris said that if we don't come up with a workable alternativ�
this could happen. Mr. Blair said he thought the City would have to
come up wi�h a wor_kable alternative also.
Brother Sullivan said�that if the Council recommended that North
Park should be a nature center, it might stop this ordinance. Mr.
Clark said you would have 4,000 people speaking for 30,000 again.
Mr. Brown said the Cotincil has already mad� their d�cision. He
� said the Planning Commission could use the Edina ordinance as a guide-
line in preparing an alternate ordinance. This ordinance prohibits
the destruction of trees.

anymore. �

said that he didn't think there was anything in our ordinance on who
was responsible for boulevar_d trees. He said some people take this
responsibility. He said we get calls from som� people saying they
want a boulevard tree out for some reason or anoth�r. We inspect
tliat tree and if its a healthy tree, causirig no problems, we don't
take it out. If it's leaning, cracked or broke, then for the public
welfare, it has to come out.
Mr. Brown asked Mr. ClarY, if the Council approved an alternate
ordinance, daes the sponsoring committee make �:heir recommendation _
at that time. Mr. Clark said the Council can pass an al.ternate tre�
ordinance and the committee has 10 days to appeaT. If th�y appealed,
it would go to a referendum vote.
Mr.�Brown said t.hat if a compromise could be worked out befare
the Council adopts a tree ord.inance, it wouldn't go to'a referendum,
but he didn't think that would happen.
Mr. Har_ris said he didn't think there was anyway to go but up
because th� City couldn't live with the petitioned tree ordi:nance.
� I�Ir. Lindblad said this all came about because the people want
to have 5ome say on the use of North Park. .
Mr. Clark said you could recommend an alternate tree ordinance
c�ith the stipulation �hat the use of North Park go to a referendum
vote. fle said if two ordinances were put on the ballot, it would just
be voting on that issue anyway. If one ordinance kept North Park
a nature center and the other ordinance allowed No'rth Park to be used
as a golf course, they could- just as well have that the issue that
the people vote on. That way there is less of a change of this
petitioned ordinance going on the ballot.
Mr. Harris said we have to come up with something because they've
got us between the stone and the hard spot.
Mr. ClarY said that if it was added to the alternate' ordinance
that the City of Fridley do ordain that the issue of North Park will
go to a�eferendum vote, maybe, as this is what we think the sponsoring
committee is after, they will say that this is a good ordinance, and
not appeal it. Mr. Harris said that if the petitionEd tree ordinance .
passes, the proponents of`°the nature center have already won.
� Mr. Drigans�said the people who wrote this ordinance should have
known the problems they were creating for the City in other areas
__ other than the North Park.area. .
� •
�
Mr. Brown wondered if the City was �'orced to�adopt this ordinance,
if they could amend it after it was passed. Mr. Fitzpatrick said the �
amendmen�s woulci have to be.in keeping with the spirit of the ordinance.
Mr. Clark saa.d he would have to have it clarified if the City coul.d
amend an ordinance that was voted on by Charter. Mr. Fitzpatrick
said some of the things that should be changed, could be added IlOW.
Mr. Brown said that if the people signed this petition because
' � . . • .

they thought Fridley was wantonly going around destroying trees,
he was here to say that this was not true, and he was responsible
for about 980 of the property owned by Fridley.
B�other Sullivan said that when he went around with the �etition,
a lot of people were disturbeci about the removal of trees in Innsbruck.
Because this was private property, the people couldn't do anything
abaut it. They fel� they wanted some say on public property. He
said,he was in favor of the petitioned ordinance, with modifications.
Chairman Fitzpatrick asked if the membe�s of the Commission wanted
the City staff to work on an al�ernate ordinance, or to work on
amendmentsto the petitioned ordinance. Mr. B1air said they could work
on both proposals. � � .
Mr. C1ark said the City staff could do that but they would need
�� �he input o� the Corunission to know ���hat they wanted in the ordinance.
He said that Paul Brown and himself could work on an ordinance along
� the lines that have been brought out at the Hearing. N1r. Clark asked
if the alternate ordinance should ask �Lhat the use.of North Park go
to a reterendum vote.
� Mr. Drigans said North Park is not mentioned in the proposed
ordinance, and he didn`t feel this should be pa.rt of the recommendai:ion.
He said we should consicler in the tree ordinance if we think it shoulci
� in�)��d� or eyclude private property. The Edina ordinance does have an
avenue of appeal.
�

�
�
� .
Mr. Li_ndblad said he wouldn't want to have to get permission from
the City to move a tree in his own back yard. He didn't think it
should include R-1 praperty. Mr. C1ark said there are many cities
adopting these tree ord�_nances, and mo�t of them are on private property
and exclude city owned property.
Mr. Harris said he tY�ought a 1ot of people signed this petition
because they have a distrust of City Hall. Mr. Drigans said he knew
that the intent of this petition was to stop the development of North
Park as a golf course.
Mr. Clark said that if that.was the intent of the petition, then
maybe that's why the use of North Park should go to a referendum.
Mr..l}rigans said he didn't believe in government by referendum
vote. That's why we have elected officials. He said he didn't think
there was anyone in the Cii�y who would want to see trees wantonly
destroyed. They wani� tree management and this ordinance doesn't give
them that. What I am saying is leave this ordinance aJ_one and give
them an ordinance that the City and the•citizens can live with.
' Mr.. Drigans also said that he thought the ordinance should cover
private propezty, especially industrial and commercial property. If
tl�is property has trees,�they should have to come in with a plan
, on saving as many trees as they can. Mr. Lindblad said a lot of' this
is handled by t.he Building Siandards-Design Gontrol Subcommittee.

Mr. Harris said that all the Sub-Commit�ees, the Planning
Co:nmission and Council meetings the developers of Innsbrucr went
through to develop their project, and all the way along they were
told to preserve as may trees as possible. If we get more restrictive
than that, �it will impede the development of Fridley. �
' MOTION by Blair, seconded by Lind,blad, t1�at the petitioned tree
ordinance not be amended, and because we owe it to the rest of the
City of F'ridley to develop 8 park sites,and these cannot be sacrificed

.. Mr. Drigans asked if you could turn an ordinance into an agreement
for a referendum? Mr.�Clark said he didn't know. This could be
decided upon at the Council level. We have to find out if two tree
ordinances can be on one ballot alsa, which I would hate to see, if the
people were really voting on the use of North Park. If the committee
accepts the proposal of having a referendum on the use of North Park,
the tree ordinances won't have to go for�a referendum vote. Mr.
Drigans said he couldn't see putting a stipulation on an ordinance.

Mr. Larry Miller was gresent to pxesent the request. A1x. AZiller said he is
xequesting to build a 24 foot by 24 foat 2-c�r garage. IIe said he is requesting
to put it 14 feet fxom the back 1ot line and 5.5 feet from the side lot line.
He said he has a double frontaae lot, bettioeen kixtaood and East River Road, and
the setback fox the garage is-supposed to be 35 feet but he said he does not
have enough area to gosition it according to Code. He said the gurage will exit
onto East I'.i_ver Road and the drive�aay is e:�isting now. He said the Building
xnspector taas out to checic ttie location of the garage in relation Lo the lot
ixons that t�aexe found and the Building Inspector said the locati.on was okay.
Mx. PZiller said the gaxa�e will be in-line `aith the otlier garages on the street.

Mx. Millex said he taliced to Mr. Fischer, owner of the property to the north,
� and rir. I'ischer had no objections. Mr. Pliller said there�taill be 11 feet

crushed rock �aould be adequate and if he had Co put in a hard surface driv eway,
he would be th� only one wirh one.
Mr. Mattson stated that the staff felt thaC because of the neighbox, the Board
could grant the variance witih the stipulation that; it might be put in aC a
later date. - �
Chainnan Drigans asked �ahat the �aidth is of the conunon driveway that is on his
property. Mr. �iiller said the culvert is pr�bably 10 feet ��ide and he has
appro:imately 5 �eet.
Chairman Drigans said in his opinion, crushed xock cannot be restrained �ahere
you put it, because of the lcids picicinb i.t up and scattering it and also the
cars scattering in into the street from the spinninb tixes. Iie said these
rocics can be vexy dan�erous on a Uusy sL-reet like �ast r.iver Road where they
c�.n �ily up ancl hi.t ' car �ti�indshields . Chairman Drigans aslced if Iir. Miller hud
talked to his nei��ibor aboui: the cost of paving. He said maybe she could
atford to pave part of it this year and part of it next year. He said maybe
Mr. Miller could malce sorne ar?-anoemeni.s to have it all paved and then have
the nei;hboz pay him back.
Mx. riiller sai.d he had not talked to her about l�o�a much she could afford and
he adcied that if he had to pave, he would on�y pave his half of the driveteay.
He said his half t•aould cost approximately $700.OU for asphalt. He said he
thought he could pave next yeax because of tlie expense tor the garage this year.
Mrs. Wzhlbe:rg said she would lilce to see that the Code �or the drivetaay is met
wi�hin a certain p�riod of time and to see if Mr. Mi.11er could t��ork somethi.ng
out tuith the neighbor.
Mr. Plemel said the Board can`t foxce the nei.ghbox into paving her half of the
drive�aay since she doesn't have a garaoe and she isn't asking �o build one.
Chaixman Drigans aslced Mr. 1�lillex ho�a lon� he has lived thexe. Nr. Mil].er
said �+ years. Chairman Drigans asked if any othex garages have gone up in

Mrs . Ldahlbexg �.sked zohen the Code requirzng hard suxface driveways was adopted. �
Mr. Piattson anstaexed in 1969.
Mr. riiller stated he �elt the City should start cuti:ing down on paving sinc.e
oil is so hard to get and staxt� consexving energy.
� Mr. Plemel said he felt the Board should stay by tl�e Code and maybe stipulate
.that the h�xd suxface driveway be Put in by 1975, since the applicant has
stated he thought he taould l�e put�ing it in next year.

Chaixman Drigans stated the Board is concexned with the crushed rock going
into the street and flying around. He said it mi�hi: be bettex to leave it
as it is until it is paved instead of putting in the crushed xock.
Mr. Mil-ler said he w�uld ratlier leave it as it is until he can afiord to pave

said the Board mi�l�r be willing to go along with ii but he said personally he

Lee Kupcho
Springfield Homes
3713 N.E. Foss Road
St. Anthony, Minnesota 55421
Dear Mr. Kupcho:
���� ; T<� Minneapolis Office
Thanks for your kind attention to my problem of set - back requirements on the south
or back Iot Iine .
In order that you will have a record of my discussion with you on this, T would like
to include the following information.
Our architect, after reviewing the specific Declaration of Covenants I obtained when
I originally purchased the property, and after reviewing the information one of his
employees obtained from a phone call to the City Hall of Fridley, proceeded to design
a home for me. He attemped to design around existing trees and contour of the lot.
As presently located on the site plan, my home is 44 1/2 ft. from the east side lot
line on West Danube Road. From your standpoint this is excellent because undoubtedly
you will have a 35ft. set - back from V�Test Danube Road. Because of this set - back
we expect to save several trees on the east or West Dantibe Road that will further
benefit you. �
Today I went to apply far a building permit and found that there is a requirement that �
the rear yard mini,mum requirement i`s 2 5% of the lot depth (2 5e� of 105 = 2 6•ft. ). Our
set - back, as shown on the Suburan Engineering, is 20 ft. This is the only problem
area. After review.ing this infar���tion you indicated no objection to this variance
and you noted this on a survey I gave you to examine. A copy of this survey is enclosed.
�:
Thanks so much for your approval. This will allow me to bring this variance to the Board
of Appeals of the City of �ridley.Hopefully I will be able to obtain a building permit.
Sincerely,
� ,
�
� Curtis W. Joh on, President

Dear T�ir. Lehr:
TELEPHONE:
784-6985
As a resident in your im:.�ediate neighborhood, I have received
notice frorn the City of Fridley of the Public Hearing before
the Planning Cor�r:�ission and Board of Appeals to consider your
realuest for code variance and Special Use Per:r!it for the purpose
of building a detached garaoe.
This ietter is to serve notice upon you, and the City of Fridley
if you care to use it, that your request has rny approval. ,P.s a
m�tter of fact, I think it a highly practical request and ans:��er
to a problem at your location.
The der�ands of suburban living, especially if tvro parties in a
� family tirork, require t�xJO cars which have to be housed. In addition
general storage Upace is needed to house materials and equipr.zent
used for hor_ne and yard maintenance.
-�
,
L�
�
,
�
i

The general Pie Shaped dimension af your lot precludes the const-
ruction of an "attached" double gara�e. The only logical and
sensible ans��rer ,rrould. be a"detached" gara�e. This ti�rould perrnit
living e;cpansion in your present house if you Urish it, increase
the value of your �nvestm�nt, ana generally ir.�prove another
piece of property in Fridley.
It is my considered opinion that your proposal is an Asset to
the neighborhood, not a detriment.

' Mr Stimmler asked if Brother Sullivan had been involved in these meetin s or had
• g
contributed anything which could benefit the City? Mr. Langenfeld said that both
' Ron Burton and Brother Sullivan had done a lot o£ work in this area, but that na
conclusions had been determined.
' I�1r. Langenfeld reported that such things as "s►aimmers' itch" could be eliminated
by merely wiping oneself with a towel after getting out of the water. The fungus
would be wiped off, and in this garticular case, it doesn't become a problem until
� it dries on the skin. He went on to say that he had learned �hat ear infecti.on
can be found in people who swim in pools, as wel.l as lakes. Many �imes it's
connected with horseplay.

There was some discussion of tt-ie sedi.mentation in Lacke La.ke, but the majority of
the land surrounding the Lake is pri.vate property, so the City isn"C disectly
involved.
Mr. Wagar said that he felt we s'r:ould de somethi.ng to save the Lake, whether we
get assistance from the County or not. I£ the La};e can'� be saved, the City will
have to look further inta t�re constructian c�f a swi.mming pool. .

IEARLY OPEN FOR MOORE (AKE�
� Mr. Brown ask�d the Commissioners to refer to a proposed arti,cle for i:he Fxidley
Sun which deals with the opening date ior Moare Lake. He stat-ed that the Beach
would be opening the day after ScI-ioo2 Bis�rict �J.4 di.smisses for i;he yeax, and
� his question is whether the Commissioner:; in�ended for the Beach to be fully�
staffed or jus�C an individual on duty r.o tza��c� access i.o the p�one.
Mr. Blair said that he thought i�t was thea.r intension to fully staff the beach and
, install the buoy lines, docks, and 2ife guard towers. � �
Mr. Brown reported that to fully staf.� the Beach at that early date is impossible
'� because our staff consists of college students who a.re not aut of school as eaxl.y
as District #14. Several o£ our �taf£ nembPrs are even attendin�'college out o£
state.

�

h9r. Stimmler stated that we can't do half a job. I£ we open the Beach, we have to
staff it. 61r. Brown agreed,
They discussed the possibi�ity of having High School students on duty until the
regular staff is available, but agreed that it wouldn't really be falr to hi.re them
for a week or t��o and then put ttiem out of a iob.
D1r. {Jagar�stated that he'd at least like to see some buoy lines installed.
Mr. Brown said that he �vante�t to know how they want the beach handled and we'd try
to hire the staff, h9r. Stimmler said that we s}iould try'to staff the Beach on

DISCUSSION: Mr. }Vagar said that it was tzme for a�oll of £eelings since the
Commission has never sa�k down and disGUSSed. the ��ros and cons o£ a golf course or
nature center far North Park.
D4r. Stimmler stated that he had afitended the Ad Hoc Commi.ttee meeting, City Caur�cil
meetings, and other such meetings, where Norfih Park was discussed, but in each
instance, trie groups were firmly divided and nothing was accomplished. .
Mr. Peterson ielt that it was unfaix to the Commissio» because of the history of the
project. People's emotions, xather than logic, are i.nvolved.
Mr. Blair asked Mr. Brown if he had seen �he proposal. by the Metropolitan Airport
, Commission concerning the use of Janesfiel.d for a go2f couxse? Mr, Brown said that
he had. Mr. Blair said tha� it was xurriored that the B].a�.r City Council had discarded

Mr. Blair agre�d that it was time for the Commi.ssion to �et the�s wishes be known.

shopping center which Coon Rapids,wi.11 be building, directly� North of North Park,
draining into the Park, and the fact that the Fridley land which surrounds the Park.
is zoned Industrial. He went on to explain that the Ci.ty would be accept�.ng a

and Karen Packer
MENIBERS ABSENT: Nicci Nee, Katherine Moss, Carolyn Rouse, Robert E�ickson,
Adolph Kukowski, Joyce Benson, and Arv;,d Hansen
OTHERS PRESENT; Mrs. Hudrlik
Mr. Belgum opened the meeting at 7;45 p.m. on February 21, 1974.
The chairman handed out copies of an article on children's rights. He
felt many children were not heard from and could not express their true
feelings because they weren't given the opportunity to. (See attached.)
Mr. Belgum asked Dan Fish to report on his presentation to the City Council,
concerning the appointment of new members. Dan Fish said ��e told the
City Council that the Human Relations Committee was i.n need of new members.
He also recommended that the method of recruiting new members be changed.
Ina Preiditis asked if the Mayor or the City Council had received any more
applicants for the Committee? Mr. Fish said they were in the process of
selecting new members at the present time.
� Ina Preiditis questioned whether or not there wilT be any space on Cable TV.
Mr. Belgum said he heard you must submit an application to be considered.
Ina Pr2iditis made a motion that_the Human Relations Committee ask Mayor
Leibl for some availability of time so the Commission could present possible
� ideas. Dan Fish seconded the motion. Motion carried unani..mously. Dan Fish
brought up the subject of Channel 17. Some of the members said they received
Channel 17 on their television sets but it produced an unclear picture,
�^
�
�
Karen Packer told about the meeting at Parkview Elementary. She said it
was a very interesting meeting, although they had a low turn out. One
person suggested the idea of havi.ng some type of questionnaire sent out
with the water bill, surveying the people`s needs in Frirlley, Another
person suggested si.dewalks in''Fridley, it would give a set�se of community,
The topic of tot lots was discussed, where small pieces of land that the
City did not intend to use, could have sandboxes and swings put up for
small children.
' Mr. Lind said many times there is some business that has to be taken care
of at the City Hall. He suggested having the City offices or one of the
City offices open from noon till eight one evening a month, for the
, convenience of the working people in Fridley. There are occasions when
something important must be taken care of and it car.not be done unless
you can get time off from work.

� Mr.. Fish said he did not think the Sun newspaper did a very good job in
reporting, the City could have a legal newspaper. He read aloud an
article on Bloomington that had been in the front page of the Minneapolis
� Star. This was a minor subject compared to the decision on North Park.
A highly publicized subject such as this could have had more than one
article printed on it. Mr. Fish suggested the possibility of Human Relations
' issuing a newspaper. Mr. Belgum said they could check to see how much
money they have to work with.
,
,
�
�
Mr. Belgun asked the members their opinion of suppo�ti�ng a group:co�cerning
Indian n:atters wh:�_ch wou=d be held at A°�oka Ramsey Junior College. Karen
'Packer made a motion that the Human Relati�ns Committee support this
group in any way they could possibly be of some help. Motion was dropped
because it lacked a second.
Mr. Belgum wrote on the board the following topics he felt the members
could look into �:ndividually or as a Committee:
Marriage - Family - Parent - Child
Teacher - Student - School - Family - Children & Youth
Neighborhood - Family to Family - Adults to Youth
Citizenship - Voter, Taxpayer - Government, Board, etc.
� He suggested the.members look into any area they were interested in.
Ina Preiditis said she was willing to look into the area of schools.
. Mr. Belgum said they could form a subcommittee and invite various people
� into their homes to discuss some topics. They could make inquiries and
bring them to the City Council.
Mr. Belgum brought up the subject of hockey rinks. He said many of the
' ice rinks are not kept up in shape, and many of the hockey games have to
be cancelled. Mr. Lind said the ice rink in his area seemed to get good
use a'_?_ of the time. Ina Pxeiditis said perhaps the Park Board could send �
' out a questionnaire aslcing the people in I'ridley if they are sati&fied
with the present condition of their ice rinks.
' They discussed the various problems children have in school. Mr. Lind
said he could never understand why some teachers evaluated differently
from one another. You could�have the exact same subject�from one year to
' the next and have a different teacher the following year, and receive a
higher o� lower grade, with your potential at the same standpoint. Grades.
depended on the evaluation of a teacher. Ina �'reiditis said a new method of
grading is being introduced in some schools where the student outlines his
, objectives before class. Everything is on an individualized basis but all
studenGs must meet their objectives.
�

Motion was made by Ina Preiditis to adjourn the meeting. Dan Fish seconded
t he motion, and the meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m.

' Mary Martin said that she had checked into the.possibility of setting up
a recycling center in Fridley. She was told this type of program could
be set up, if they found a piece of land in Fridley which would be suitable.

Recycling Center will collect tin cans, amber green and white glass if
it is non-returnable. She made a motion that they recommend to the City

The chairman questioned Tom Sullivan as to whether or nnt he waiild
be staying on the Commission. Mr. Sullivan said he would be able to,
he had spoken with Mr. Starwalt recently and had received another
contract. The d:�scussion of new members was brought up. Mr. Langenfeld
said he had �ot been notified that any new members had been assigned
yet.
Mary Martin said there was a•�new developm�nt in the ares by Burlington
� Nnrthern, She made a motion that the Environmental Quality Commission
advise to the City Council that they would like to send a representative
to work on the Burlington Northern groject, located on Highway 47
and Universitc. and County Road 132, in coordination with the Planning
� Commission, contiguous with the North Park area in keeping with the
n$t��ral entities of North Park and request Council approval on such

based upon the Conservazcy Ordinance of Coon Rapids, and that this ordinance
be submitted to the City Council and appropriate Commissions. Seconded
by Shirley Kennedy. Motio�. carried unanimously. Further explanation or
application of the Ordinance could be o'utained from Alan Hamel, Coon
Rapids planner.
BY-LAWS
�: •
The Commission read through the By-laws and were asked for their suggestions
and approval or disapproval. A few minor changes in the wording were
made: A conflict came up between the proxy and absenteeism vote. Some
of the members favored proxy vate and others f.avosed absenteeis:n. Motion

REPORT OUTLINING THE CONCERNS AND POSITIVE ACTION TAKEN BY THE CITY OF FRIDLEY
REGARDING THE PRESERVATION OF RICE CREEK AND LOCKE LAKE FROM 1955 TO DATE
INTRODUCTION
This report is prepared in response to the instructions of the City Council
as indicated in the minutes of the Council Meeting of January 14, 1974. The re-
port is based on correspondence, resolutions, ordinances and other pertinent
information which indicates the City of Fridley's concern and positive action re-
garding the preservation of Rice Creek and Locke Lake.
Due to tlie voluminous amount of material collected, all specific information
cannot Ue included in the report; however, included in your agenda folder is a
sununary of the material that has b een bound separately and arranged in chronolog-
ical order with specific concerns and positive action noted. This material is
available for revie�a and future use if investigation of a specific nature is
required.
CONCERNS AND POSITIVE ACTION
, 'Through the years, problems which have developed into a potential hazard to
the preservation of Rice Creek and Locke Lake, have b een noted to be b asically a
reduction of the water quality and an increase in siltation and bank erosion.
� The problems have developed in a number of iaays: illegal dumping of pollutants,
development of property adjacent to the water body, creek crossings, storm sewer
systems outletting into the water body and a general littering of the creek and
lake.
�

idATER QUALITY CONTROL
As early as 1959 the City of Fridley has been concerned with the water
quality of Rice Creek and Locke Lake. Through the years, the City has cooperated
with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Minnesota Public Health De-
partment in a survelliance p�ogram instituted to eliminate the dumping of
industrial wastes and washing of oil spills and other pollutants into Rice Creek
and Locke Lake. Upon observation of po?lutants in the water body, an investiga-
tion is made in order to determine the source of contamination. After the source
is found, appropriate correspondence and meetings are held to eliminate the
prob lem. ,�' �
� Together with continuous inspection of the water body within the Fridley
corporate limits, Fridley has shown concern for pollution of the water b ody by
other agencies and municipalities adjacent to Rice Creek. To date appropriate
� resolutions and correspondence from the City of Fridley to the agencies and
municipalities involved has helped to inform them of potential problems and to
further cooperate with them in an attempt to eliminate the problems.
� . � Through a program of municipal sanitary sewer construction, Fridley has
continued�to eliminate the private sanitary sewer system (the cesspool) as a
source of contamination.

Development along and adjacent to Rice Creek and Locke Lake has b een another �
concern of the City of Fridley. Review of all plans by the City Administration,
wi.th subsequent referral to the various City boards, commissions, committees, and
Council, has resulted in the proper input to each development to obtain its impact
on the water body. City Ordinance No. 465 has been passed which dictates certain
requirements which must be satisfied regarding creek alignment and slope alteration..
City Ordinance No. 555 designates a Creek and River Preservation btanagement District
�lii:h certain regulations which must be followed in order to develop certain properties.
�In order to prevent future development along the water body, the City of
Fridley through the years has purchased, ar, in conjunction with a proposed
development, has acquired through negotiations land adjacen�C to Rice Creek for
park purposes.
Any crossing of the water body provides a potential siltation and b ank erosion
problem. Fridley has informed the Minnesota Highway Department, Anoka County
Highway Department, Burlington Nortllern and the various utility companies when a
problem has been observed. Through correspondence and subsequent meetings appro-
priate methods have been implemented to provide proper slope protection to
eliminate the siltation and b ank erosion problem. Al1 new construction plans are
reviewed by the City .Administ�^ation in order to ensure protection of the water
body to avoid a future problem.
� �Vith the continuous growth and development of Fridley, the
system is a potential hazard to Rice Creek and Locke Lake. 'I'he
program within the City has eliminated dirt streets and reduced
problem which can develop through sand and dirt washing into the
' continuing and expanding street sweeping progxam has also helped
tential siltation problem.

Constant inspection of the storm sewers by the City maintenance cxew� with the
continual cooperation of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency,has led to detection
and elimination of illegal washing of pollutants into the starm sewer system.
Items in the City Newsletter emphasize that all residents be aware of the function
of the storm sewer system and refrain from tvashing any pollutants into the sewers
which would contaminate Rice Cree�C and Locke Lake. blaintenanee programs to seal
damaged se�aer lines and reconstruct storm sewer outfalls into the water body have
been initiated to reduce the siltation and bank erosion prob.lems. Fresent and
future design practices for additions to the storm sewer system adjacent to Rice
Creek and Locke Lake emphasize the use of ponding areas within the system which
further helps reduce the siltation problem.
GENERAL CLEANUP
Genexal littering of the creek has become an increasing nuisance and hazard
to the creek and lake. Fridley h as responded by offering to work with the Rice Creek

Watershed District in an attempt.to annually cleanup the water body. During the
' summer of 1973, Fridley used an Anoka County work program to provide the person-
nel required to clean-the creek and lake.

ESTABLISI-I�1ENT OF RICE CREEK iVATERSHED DISTRICT
Through all of the above concerns, there was one overriding factor which
seemed to hamper a genuine effort by all communities affected toward ihe preser-
vation af Rice Creek and Locke Lake. The fact that Rice Creek flows through many
different municipalities and jurisdictions has resulted in a problem of authority.
It has been very difficult for these agencies to collectively join forces to pro-
vide a joint, cooperative effort toward preservation of the creek. In order to
provide this unity, the City of Fridley has directed n�erous �orrespondence and
resolutions, and has been represented at meetings towards the establishment of the
Rice Creek tiVatershed District (RCt'JD) . After many years, the RCiVD was established
in 1972 with certain rules and regulations directed towards the preservation of
Rice Creek and Locke Lake. The RCiVD is now the authorized representative respon-
sible for Rice Creek. All plans for development and construction affecting the
creek, must be reviewed by the RCtiVD with appropriate permits issued. The City
of Fridley improvement projects affecting the creek are also reviewed.and subject
to permit.
tiVith the establishment of the RCIyD, the municipalities and jurisdictions
adjacent to Rice Creek now have a common agency to direct requests, suggestions,
plans, etc, regarding preservation of the creek. The RC19D is the authority that
can coordinate studies to further investigate the problems, determine recommenda-
tions to solve the problems and provide funding to eliminate the problems.
SUMMARY
.
.
From the previous discussion, it is evident that the City of Fridley has
� shown cancern and taken positive action regarding the preservation of Rice Creek.
However, the ultimate authority to coordinate efforts for preservation of the
creek is now the RCiti'D. The RCi'1D is the responsible agent to review any construc-
tion and development within the watershed district; to prepare studies to determine
1 existing and potential problems; to provide recommendations regarding elimination
of the problems; to prepare reports and applications required for funding of
projects an d to work with local communities to solve specific problems. The City
1 of Fridley cannot act alone to preserve the creek, but must cooperate with other
communities along the creek to provide the proper input to support the efforts
of the RCWD. �

This report is a follow up on the previous reports made by me dated March 8,
19�4 and March 15, 1974 to you gentlemen. °
To get the picture of the lic{uor operations for the last six years, see
Attachment "C". On this attachment we have shown the total sales, on-sale profits,
off-sale profits, net worth, o return on investment, and the monies transferred
from the liquor store operation to the general fund to help lower the need for
the general ta�c levy. It is obvious from the report tha.t the City was getting
a substantially good return on their investment in the years when they were in
the combinecl on-sale and off-sale lic�uor business. It shows the return of mini-
mum 32.6a in 1968 to maximum 36.2% in 19b9. In 1972 when'the City went out of
the on-sale business, the return right away came'down to 16.9a, which is almost
half what we were getting.in the previous years. Also, on Attachment "C" under
the column "On-Sale Profit", it shows that the City made a yearly profit in the
neighghborhood of $70,000 in the on-sale business; whereas, the return the City
is now getting from the licenses and additional taxes due to increased tax
evaluation is in the neighborhood of �20,Q00, as per Attachment "D". It might
be advisable for the City to look into the possibility of raising the fee for
the liquor licenses. You will also note under the "Net �Yorth" column that, even
though the City is out of the on-sale business, our net worth ha.s remained pretty
consistent in the neighborhoad of $600,000. The reason is that we sold two on-
sale buildings and instead built,a single aff-sale building in the arr►ount of
about $190,000 at 63rd and T.H. #65. The additional reasons for loss of profit
in 1973 are as follows:
1. The liquor business started feeling the full impact af repeal of
the fair trade law.
� •
2. We had a liauor store in the Skywood Mall Shopping Center which
was.a consistent loser in that year. .
3. There were some additional costs to start the business at Li�uor
Store #3 (63rd and T.H. #65).
4. In the last auarter of 1973, the Camden Bridge was closed, which
sharply reduced the income.potential of Liauor Store #2, and it
started showing a loss on the operations of the lic{uor store.
'
' TNE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL -2- MARCH 29, 1974
' ^ 5. The general economy of the Country is soft and that always has
some effect on the sales picture.

J
'
'
�

u
To improve the return on the anvestment in the liauor business, we are pro-
posing to take the following additional steps:
l. The closing of LiQuor Store #2 certainly would reduce the loss
on the operation all the way from about $2,500 per month to the
neighl�orhood of $S00 per month right away. We propose to further
negotiate with the leasors to see tivhat possible arrangement can
be made to get out of the lease. Also, we are looking into ways
� of subleasing the pr�perty, and we already have liad some contacts
on that. tVe will work with the leasor to come up with an ec�uit-
able proposal to the City and the leasor.
2. We propose to use the storage room in Lic�uor Store #3 for the
basic needs of that store, and only store the items of high turn-
over on which we can get some special break in the warehouse in
the City Hall, and this warehouse would basically be used for
storage for the Holly Shopping Center store. This wa.y we would
eliminate some of the double handling of the merchandise.
3. Let the clerks at the store do some of the coding and pricing
work presently being done by the accounting girl�in the City Hall.
4. llo the physical inventory once a year and spot check inventory
every month, as we have better control with the new computer control
of the inventory. Also, with the computer analysis, we should be
able to buy the material which moves the best, and eliminate any of
the items whicll are not good sellers. This way, we should be able
to eliminate excessive storage needs, and the need for tying up
some of the investment, and hopefully, making more profit on the
items which are c{uick mavers. .
5. Eliminate some permanent help, which would lower the high cost of
permanent help in the actual hourly wage, plus additional fringe
benefits the City has to pay, alorig with lowering the Manager's
and Assistant Manager's salaries (See the offer made by Bob TlcGuire
and John�IIreha for cuts in their salaries as per Attachment "E").
Along witli the cut in salary, the Manager would be doing work, at
least three days a week, as a clerk in addition to filling in for
sick leave or vacation for the permanent employees, along with
responsibilities outlined in Attachment "F". John Hreha, the
Assistant Manager, is going to be retirement age in January of
next year, and once he retires, we will review his position at that
time and probaUly elvninate it.

1 THE HONORABLE MAYOR �1ND CITY COUNCIL -3- MARCH 29, 1974
, 6. By improving_service to the clients, we hope to improve the
sales and, potentially, the profits. The steps we propose to
take are as follows:
'
�
'
'
C
,
a. Utilize the existing help to the best advantage by
requiring them to carry out and do other work while
they are r.ot busy at the cash registers. �
b. Make sure clerks have a friendly greeting for customers
when they come into the store.
c. Rec�uire clerks to help the clients as much as they can
on the floor for better service. �
d. Impress upon clerks that they should thank the customers
and be sure to invite them to come again.
e. Hire carry out boys when there is a definite need during
the peak business hours.
f. Have weekly specials on certain items.
Taking all these things into consideration, along with the assumptions made
' on Attacl�nent "A", we axe making projections for the next 12 months of the year,
from Apri.l l, 1974 to March 31, 1974 (See AttacYmlent "B") and the last colwnn
of Attachment "C". This shows that, taking all these steps, we hope to have
1 12.50 or better return on the City's investment in the liquor store operation
in the next 12 month period.

ATTACl�9 E NT A
PROJECTION OF SALES AND PROFITS AT STORES NOS. 3 AND 4
FOR TNE NEXT TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD
Attached is a proj�ction of the sales and profits of Store No. 3 on High-
way No. b5 and Store Noo 4 at Holty C�nter for the next twetve-mont� perind.
It is somewhat difficult to make a projection as there are so many opinions
or options as to what should be done, that it is difficutt to say what will
be done.
The projection is made on the assumption that a total af b,g68 hours of
sales clerks' time wiit be utilized at Store No. 3, and a total of 6,552
t�ours of sales cierks� time wi11 be utili:.ed at Store No. 4. The p:ojection
atso assumes that 1,092 hours of the liquor store manager�s satary wiit be
spent managi ng, and tt�e bat arece of hi s ti me wi 11 be spQnt pui 1 i nq reg��i ar
sates shifts at the liquor storeso These hours are included in the haurs
previously listed.
To put the cost estimate in perspective, it should be pointed out that the
estimate is based on the assumpiion the gross prafit percentage wilt be
twenty-three and on�-half per cent. A one per cent difference in gross
profit pe�centag� would ma�e a difference of $9,500.00 in the profit m�rgin,
one way or the other. This points up the necessity of carefully managing
the inventory and the buying of inventory.
The other targ�, variabte item is sales clerks� time. Based o� the expe-
rience of tho first threz months of 1974, it will be difficu�t to hoid the
sates clesks' hours to those set forth in this projection, although it is
not impossibte to do so. Any additional hclp that wouid bs added in eny
area such as carry-out b4ys �auld have t4 be �ccampani.ed by a reductio� in
some other ar�a, or it �aoutd affect th� net profit,
The projection is based on fihe as�cunption that t�e tiquor store mar�ag4�'s
satary would be reduced from $16,200.00 p�r year to $i4,200.00 per y�ar,
� and that tise assistant manaqer�s s�iary would be reduced from $11,2$7.00
per year to �9,287000 p�s yearo
.

'

,
Under this prujection, it is assumed th� liquor store manager would do
the buying and other m�nag�ment-typ� tiaoric durin� the time he was not putt-
ing a shift. If the purchasing agent did the buying, h� wnuid have to
charge the tim� he woutd spend on this ta the Liquor Fund, or the General
Fund wouid be subsidizing the°liquor op�rationo However, this should
fres up more of the liquor stvre manager's time for selting.

If Store No. 2 is discounted for balance of 1974, a potential profit of 15% could
be realized for the twelve month's beginning April l, 1974 if the present sales
trend continues, and nothing unforseen happens. This is a somewhat optimistic
projection.

FROM: CITY MANAGER �
ISUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF FUNDING FOR NUCLEUS CLINIC -
NORTH SUBURBAN YOUTH SERVICE CENTER
' .
A report regarding the background material on this
subject is in your agenda folder. It is obvious that some of
the c{uestions that the City raised previously have not been fu11y
answered. The previous report written to the City. Council from
the City staff dated January 3, 1974, indicated that the County
had not taken any formal action on the study pxepared by the
Anoka County Comphrehensive Health Department. To date, also,
there has been no formal action by the Anoka County Board of
Cormnissioners .
It seems the Nucleus Clinic is running into some
serious funding problems, and if the City Council feels it is
a worthwhile endeavor,�taking into consideratian the informatiori
that has been given to you to date, maybe it is the time now �or
the City to provide support in the amount of $1,000 as had been
discussed earlier.

CITY MEWAGER
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTAN'T
NORTH SUBURBAIV YOUTH SFI2VICE CENTER
As per your reauest, I have reviewed the situation of the North Suburban Youth
Service Center, and have_accumulated the following information for your review:
1. A report ma.de by our Assistant City Manager/Public Safety Director
that was submitted to the Council on July 12, 1973.
2. A copy of the Council meeting muiutes of August I3, 1973 showing
Council action in regard to this Youfih Center and requesting
Anoka. County Health Board to examine the Cente�° and submif
findings and recommendations to the �ridley City Council.
3. An excerpt from the 1974 budget me�sage made by the Gity Manager
with a note to the City Council portion where $1,000 has been
pxovided for any warthy praject in th� City or Anoka County. .
This is prov�.ded in the Cit� Coun�i�. budget under �'consultant
fees".
4. A copy of the Council meeting minutes of January 7, 1974
referring �Co the receipt of the Anoka County r.eport cQncerning
the North Suburban Youth Service Center.
5. The Anoka County Comprehensive Health Aepartment sLmunary by
the Planning Assistarlt. _
6. Updated background material on the North Suburban Youth Center
which I have recently received from the Directar of Youth
Services, Mr. Joel Koemptgen.
7. A letter dated March 26, 1974 which I recently received from the
City Manager of the City of Caon Ra�ids, Mr. John Cottingham.
Quite a bit of information has been received cancerning this yauth center in the
past year. Mr. Cottingham's letter pretty much sums up the recent activities of the
center and. poses two separate questions to the City cf Fridley:
1• An i�nediate need of funds to help finance the project in the
Nucleus Center. As noted in the background data supplied_by
Mr. hoemptgen, the Youth Center is having diff_iculty in obtaining
physicians for providing services to the Nucleus Cen�er. Due to
this, a small fee was to be used to �ffset some of the cost of
�
,
I, �i
I�IO TO CITY MANAGER
MARCEI 29, 1974
PAGE 2
obtaining a physician to be in attendance. Due to this cost,
� a deficit has occured in this area. This, right now, is the
primary need of the Narth Suburban Youth Service Center, and
is the first question the Council should direct itself to.
' 2. In Mr. Cottingham's letter of Ma.rch 26, 1974, he is noting
that the operation of the youth center will need a larger part
of participation from either the County or Municipalities in
, the area to make the services of this youth center available to
alI the yazuig people in neecl of help in Anoka Cotu�ty.
II
�
'
�
�
�
�
'
�
C�

'
u
The conclusion I have drawn fram his letter is that, unless additional funds
are provided. by the cor�m►unities of those wishing help, services will be denied those
who do not live in the City of Coon Ra.pids, unless funds are forthcoming irom the
respective communities.
At present Anoka County is preparing another evaluation for submission to
their County Board in making a determina.tion whether the County will participa.te
in the cost for the remainder of 1974. I am sure along with this will be same
determination for funding for 1975. The report �n �estion will probably not be
available at least for a couple of months. -
RECON�IENDATIONS
Niy recammendations are:
1. That if the Council decides there is a urnnediate need for the North
Suburban Youth Service Center, the Council �hould consider a donation,
not in excess of $l,(�00.
2. Further detexmination on funding of the youth center for 1975 should
be considered more seriously in the 1975 budget, and probably can wait
until an action by Anoka County has been taken. Further action by the
City Council in recoirnnending that Anoka County take over a greater
portion of this Frojecfi would be in order.
N1y personal feeling on this project is that it is worthwhile and the services
that are being provided, as noted in the attached report, do sho�r that if the service
was denied Fridley residents, it would be a very serious void.

TO . THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
DATE . JULY 12, 1973
SUBJECT: NORTH SUBURBAN YOUTH SERVICE CENTER
PROBLEM:
Should the City of Fridley participate in financial support of this activity?
ASSUMPTIONS:
This activity serves as a useful function to the northern suburban citizens
including those of the City of Fridley.
.FACTS BEARING ON THE PROBLEM:
I. As indicated in its Federal Grant application, this is a private, non-
profit organization. It does, however, receive financial aid from the
City of Coon Rapids in whose jurisdiction this agency is located.
2. The City of Coon Rapids is the sponsoring unit of government for a Law
Enforcement Administration Grant through the State of Minnesota, under
which this agency operates. All Law Enforcement Assistance Administra-
tion Grants must have a governmental unit sponsorship. Mr. Joel Koemptgen,
a full time employee with the City of Coon Rapids, serves as Project
Director for the Federal Government Grant.
3. On July 2, 1473 the State of Minnesota Governor's Commission on Crime
Prevention and Control, awarded a Continuation Grant in the amount of
$21,800 to the North Suburban Youth Service Center. Mr. Koemptgen ad-
vised that the grant money coupled with Coon Rapids monies in approxi-
mately� $6,000 under the present operation budget. •
4. During.the past month a member of the Knights of Columbus advised the
Acting City Manager that he was proposing a Youth Center concept to
the Knights of Columbus Board of Directors to be located within the City
of Fridley. This is only'"in the planning stage at this time.
5. Mr. Koemptgen.states that if Fridley provides financial support for the
North Suburban Youth Service Center, there is a good possibility that a
representative from Fridley would be appointed to a position on the
Management Board.
6. At its June, 1973 meeting, the Anoka County Joint Law Enforcement Council
heard a presentation by Mr. Don Wegscheider of the Youth Center, similar
to the presentation made at the Fridley City Council. The Anoka County
Joint Law Enforcement Council took no action on this presentation and
it was considered for informational purposes only.

7. Off icials of the Fridley High School; Anoka Court Services; Anoka County
Administration Office; Anoka County Attorney's Office; Coon Rapids Police
Department; Blaine Police Department; Columbia Heights Police Department;
and a Fridle� High School counselor were interviewed regarding their
opinion of the Youth Center.
8. The North Suburban Youth Service Center serves primarily Anoka County
due to its physical location. However, in its presentation made to the
Fridley City Council, Youth Center representatives provided statistics
and indicated they also serve residents of Hennepin County and Ramsey
County. The 10 percent estimate of services to Fridley would appear to
be quite difficult to justify at this time.
, DISCUSSION:
'
fJ
�
�
�
�
�
�
�
i
It appears from the above facts, that the North Suburban Youth Service Center
will be able to operate at, or slightly below, the level of the proceeding year
with the approval of the Coritinuation Federal Grant: Mr. Koemptgen stated however,
the Center will experience some financial difficulties in the final third of 1974
without additional monies of at least $6,000.
Attempting to acquire sound opinions from individuals who represent agencies
in section "7" of f acts above, prove to be a very frustrating ordeal. It appears
from the opinions of the majority of individuals interviewed, that this agency
has a place in the community and accomplishes much more good than evil. Almost
without exception, individuals who were interviewed did not wish to be quoted. I
attribute this to the fact that many well-meaning and hi�hiy respected citizens
openly support or do voluntary work for this agency. One of the major concerns
that was expressed is that certain policies and procedures of the agency are highly
controversial and cuts directly across some very basic philisophical differences
of opinion of our citizens. For example, the agency will treat and give advice
to juveniles in such areas as drugs, venerial disease, and contreceptives without
the knowledge of the juvenile's parents. One Fridley school official felt this
type of policy and operation usurps the family unit.
�One school non-administrator, who works very closely with the center, indi-
cated�that he agreed with the theory of the Center. He felt, however, that parents
and children should have a rapport such that an organization such as the center
should not be necessary and in addition, he would look unfavorably upon his child-
ren utilizing the Center.
In addition to the controversial policies at the Center, the second major
concern of those interviewed was that of organizational structure. It.is the
opinion of many of those interviewed, primarily at the Anoka County level, that
the organizational structure for the Center is somewhat hazy. It is recognized
that Joel Koemptgen is the initial Project Director for the Federal Grant and is
also a full time employee for the City of Coon Rapids. It would then appear that
because of fiscal control, Joel Koemptgen and the City of Coon Rapids has control
over this agency as long as the Federal Grant continues, or if the City of Coon
Rapids assumed direct control of�this �gency as a portion of their governmental

unit should a Federal Grant expire. Beyond this point, the st�ucture with respect
to the chain of command; unity of command, and span of control, becomes very
difficult to identify. It is this problem that appears to trouble certain County
officials. For example, Anoka County utilized the Center as one of several
resources in which they refer individuals for various reasons. Referrals are
usually not made until. a case study on the individual is made and it is determined
that the Center is the best location £or this particular individual. Beyond this
point, as one County official stated, control is lost. There appears to be some
apprehensiveness about the qualifications and approaches taken by certain staff
members of the Center. For this reason those who expressed their concern would
like to see a well-defined organi.zational structure within the Center in which
County officials can be assured that individuals sent to the Center rLceive
treatment from the proper staff persons.
CONCLUSION:
I have discussed the negative aspects of the reports I received about the
Center with Mr. Koemptgen. Mr. Koemptgen indicates he fully understands and is
aware of these major concerns. The problem, as both Mr. Koemptgen and I agree,
returns to the very basic philisophical differences of opinion of our citizens,
school officials, and governmental officials regarding the control of family
affairs and formal structure versus informal structure for this organization.
It appears that the North Suburban Youth Service Center will have funds to
operate through 1974 although the level of service may drop for the final third
of 1974 without additional funds.
ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. My recommendation is that the City of Fridley not render financial
support for 1974 to this agency. I make this recommendation on the
following: .
A. The agency is basically a private, non-profit organization.
Council may be setting a precedent by donating to such an
organization.
B. The organization appears to have funds to operate in 1974.
C. The amount of funding by the City of Fridley would be difficult
to computate on a fair basis. There are several. other cities
and counties that ar� also receiving benefits. ,
D. Although the general concept of this agency is accepted, there are
serious philisophical differences of opinion about the Center's
operation. .
E. If the Center is to receive financial support from governmental
agzncies other than its sponsoring agency, it appears more reason-
able that the funding should come from Anoka County or joint
counties than through the numerous municipalities.

2. If Council feels that it wishes to render financial support to this
organization, it is my recommendation that this action be deferred until
a recommendation from the City Manager can be presented as to a cost
formula for determining a fair share cost based on a formula which would
take into consideration the services rendered by this agency to other
cities within Anoka County as well as other counties. It may also be
wise to stipulate certain safeguards for our monies when they are presented
to this agency. In addition, Council may wish to chec�C the progress, if �
any, of the Knights of Columbus proposal for a Youth Center in Fridley.
3. If City Council would prefer not to accept the two recommendations above
and Council feels they have sufficient information regarding the Center,
and �feels the Center serves a worthwhile purpose for public �unds for the
citizens of Fridley, and wish to take an affirmative action at this time,
I would recommend a contribution of $1,000 for 1974. In addition, it
would be my recommendation that Council direct the City Manager to
correspond with the County of Anoka expressing Council's opinion that
funding for this ag�ncy through governmental funds in 1975 should be
allocated at a County level.

Comnissioner on the Center. He continued on the staff level, it is believed that
the service is vrorths•rhile and when the administration problems are corrected, then
the problems +��ould be alleviated. He thought the support and funding for the center
should be ►•rorked out jointly tivith the County. He stated the Center is guaranteed
funding until Septemb2r o€ 1974, and from that tim? on, they rrould require additional
funding. 7he City iianager said he tiaould report back to the Council t��hen and if there
are further reports and evaluations on the Center.

MEMO TO: Nasim Qureshi, Acting Gity Manager
MEMO FROM: Jerrold Boardman, Planning Assistant
1 MEMO DATE: January 3, 1974
RE: North Suburban Youth Service
5
'
After talking to Byron Laher, Human Services Coordinator
' for the Anoka County Comprehensive Health Department, and
reading their evaluation on the North Suburban Y.outh Service,
they feel that this organization provides a needed service to
Anoka County. Mr. Laher said it is the only organization of
� its kind in Anoka County and that the service that is delivered
is of high quality.
� The evaluation
be very favorable,
communities is well
� programs dealt with
keeping system.
of the organization's programs seemed to
stating that the primary service to the
run. Most of the recommendations for these
increasing efficiency and a better record
The main concern that was brought out in the evaluation
, was that most community criticism toward the program seemed
to be a result of the lack of administration. The County
Health Department recommended that (1) the governing Board
, be immediately brought up to at least minimum membership,
(2) an adequate�administrative replacement for Mr. Koemptgen
be sought, (3) Staff should recognize that the overall admin-
, istration of North Suburban is an importan� . program component,
(4) it should be further recognized that community public
relations has been overlooked and should receive renewed emphasis,
(5) accountability to funding sources and functioni.ng 14'ianagement
� Board should be stressed, and (6) Management Board minutes
should regularly be sent to the funding sources.
L'
J
,

�
LJ
'
In order to keep tiie Organization in operation, it is
necessary to seek support from the municipalities it serves.
In the evaluation, it was generally agreed, that the service
that is provided is for a multi-municipality area and that a
broader base of funding is desirable. However, in order to
achieve this broader base of funding, mo�e attention will need
to be placed on administration without a loss in the very good
service program.
The Personal Services Committee of the Anoka County Health
Department is presently reviewing the evalution and it'will be
presented to the County Health Board around the third week in
January. If it is decided that the program is deserving of County
funding, it will proabably go before the County Commissioners
in March or April. � / _

-, The second quarter oi the second �rant year has been one of gro��rth and change.
We are continui_n_� to �increase our emN�.asis on faru.ly counseling and group work.
- During this quarter ti,�e have esLab�ished this r,!echanism for 5 groups categories,
i.e., abandoned garents, elerentary, �ee�-age (2), and womens group. Th� leadar
�, and facilita�ors have gor�e thraugh extensive training and z�ri11 be beginning
around April ls. 'I't��s program should pay for itself.

Tn look�ng at some type of cost effectiveness analysis as one means of evalua-
tion we could use the folloV,ririg fio res: Annual cash outlay $70,000 (��,833/mo.
divided by average manthly client load -�00 equals about $1�..60/mo.
The term cli.ent here refers to the 30 second phor_e call up to the 10+ hours of
family coiuiseling, so obv�.ously, the average figure is only oi lzmited value.
We axe about to enter into t,he final stages of negotiations t,r_'!th Anoka County on
parfi,ial flzn.dirig for the fi_nal thi�d of this year and to take �preliminary steps
for next year. At this point it looks good, but by no means certailz.

1 __,.DON WEGSCHEIDER - PROGR�1 DIR./COUNSELOR - COMMENTARY
North Suburbari Youth Service Center is growing into a very comprer.ensive servi.ce
center. We still deal TJ��ith crisis by Peace Line, JOB, and Nucleus Clinic. How-
ever DJSYSC is becoming a iamily t,herapy cF�nter in which each member of the iamily
can receive counselin�, group t,ro rk, and education within a reasonable time for
under $60.
The staff and their job descriptions have �ecome clearer for efficiency sake and
yet none oi our iniormality i.s lost. The County evaluation gave us much hope for
, County approval and iundino, (t:Thich has not yet been realized} . TrJe have implemen-
ted the�.r recommend �tions,especially in tti� area of administration. As our grant
� runs out ti•:e are hopin� the cc:�-nur_ity wzll respond to ena'ole us to continue. The
City has been more ihan generous.
Qur spaca is beco:ning incraasingly limited because of gro�ring clientele. Conse-
, quently, i�Iarch is plar�riing monih for Tllaximi �1.ng the use of our facilities.
Patrick Breslin is pregressin� iti his study oi chemical dependency at the U./M.
� Sharon Lea,our intern fror� r�letro Co.��ur�unity College, is a•very competent. ia*nily
counselor and group leader. I titi�ould like to hi.re her on part time basis.
IPat Ry�n, trained in che:n�.cal dependency, is also doing wnrk with P.A.R. and
her school district. Siie is a very� important part of our staff.
John Car�s�r�_�.�in c?ar�iying his nours of s�r�rk has been more efficient in
calling ��d filing, consequently he has been freed up for other things.
I am planning an educational e�perience at the Esalen Institute in March.

Dear Peter:
7A
As we briefly discussed over the telephone the other day, this letter will serve as
a formal request by the City of Coon Rapids For funding assistance by the City of
Fridley to help support the activities at the North Suburban Youth Service Center.
Several months ago I had briefly discussed this possibitity with Jerry Davis, and
it is my understanding that our Youth Services Director Joel Koemptgen has also
discussed this subject with various Fridley officials . � .
As you know, the Youth Service Center is now being funded in part by a Federal
' Grant through LEAA with Coon Rapids supplying all of the local share . Because
of the residence of many of the youths who patronize the Center it was felt that
this tocal share should be shared by other agencies . In the case of Fridley Por
, example, approximately 10% of the nucleus and counseling programs is due to
Fridtey residents .
�
�
'
�
�
,
�
The total cost of these programs is $16,740 and $20,095 respectively. These costs
are more specifically broken down on page 13 0� the "Evaluation of North Suburban
Youth Service Center" compiled by the County Comprehensive Health Department.
It is my understanding that Fridley has a copy of this evalua�ion. If Fridley were
to reimburse Coon Rapids for 10%a of these costs $3,600 might be a fair sum .
However, it is my understanding that your 1974 Budget provides for something less
than this, and we would be happy to have Fridley participate in any way it can.
With the termination oF the Federal Grant on September 1, we are hopefut that the
County will take over a significant portion of. the funding of the Center as outlined on
the attached proposed budget for next year. .

March 26, 1974
In regard to the amount that Fridley has set aside for this year, it would greatly
assist the Nucleus Clinic to receive this money at your earliest convenience .
The Clinic program is presently running about $250 a month in the red because
Clinic physicians are paid for their services .
If you have any further questions on this matter please feel free to phone me
or Joel Koemptgen directly.

OFFICE OF TI-IE CITY MANAGER

March 29, 1974
Tf� HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
CITY b1ANAGER
SUBJECT: LETTER REGARDING BURGLAR AND FIRE ALARM SETUP FROM
H. B. HILLEGAS, CO��IUi�IICATION DIRECTOR, ANOKA COUN'IY,
DATED MARCH 13, 1974
After the receipt of the above mentioned letter, the Police
Department and the Fire Department reviewed the material contained in
the letter. There were some concerns on the part of the Fire Department,
so we had a meeting with Mr. Hillegas, Communication Dire�tor of Anoka
County, Him Hill, Public Safety Director, Bob Hughes, Fire Chief, Bob
Aldrich, Deputy Fire Chief, and myself on Tuesday, Mareh 26, 1974, to
discuss some of the questions we had about the proposal.
The concern of the Fire Department was the actual cost of
this system to the different subscribers within the different parts of
the City along with some operational questions. Also, there was a question
regarding our alanns for water and sewer systems, and how they would fit
into the overall picture.
Mr. Hil.legas agreed to check into this and get us some further
data, which we hope to get in twa to three days. Once we have all the
information, we will sit down again and discuss it, and hopefully� be �
able to submit a recommendation regarding this to the City Council at the
April S or April 15, 1974 meeting.
Our recammendations are that the City Council receive the
communication fro�n the County at their meeting of April 1, 1974, and the
staff will submit recor�r►endations regarding the proposal within the next
one or two Council Nieetings.

Office of the County Soard of Commissioners
COURT HOUSE --- 421-476D --- ANOKA, MINNESOTA 55303
Mr. Frank G. Liebl,
City of Fridley
222 Mercury Drive
Fridley, Minnesota
Dear Mayor Liebl:
Mayor
55432
March 13, 1974
� Under the present system, Burglar and Fire Alarms are terminated
into the nearest Police Station where around-the-clock personnel
have been available to watch them. VJith the implementation of
, Central Communications the Police Stations will not necessarily be
manned around-the-clock, consequently these alarms must be incorporated
into Central Communications where around-the-clock persons are on
duty. This is also the logical place for them to be terminated
' since Central Communications dispatch personnel have direct radio
contact with Police and Fire departments who will be responding.
� Using conventional techniques to extend each individual alarm circuit
to the Central Communications Center would necessitate a prohibitive
cost to nearly a11 users. An alternate s_ystem was sought whereby
only one (1) circuit from each Police Station to Central Communications
� is required, the cost of which would be shared by all users. Specifi-
cations were issued to all Alarm Companies who expressed an interest
in the project and a tota,l of four (4) proposals were received.
1 Evaluation of the proposals received, along with consideration about
the various proposed supplier's ability to support the system on a
long term basis, resulted in a decision by the Anoka County Joint Law
� Enforcement Council to�select the American District Telegraph Company,
commonly known as "ADT" as the most qualified supplier.
..
� The new system will not obsolete the present subscribers existing
equipment nor will it restrict the sources of similar equipment for
future users of Burglar and Fire Alarms. Costs c�uoted by ADT represent
the additional cost over what they no�� are paying. An exception to
' this staternent probably applies to City of Fridley, where special
equipment supplied by Northwestern Be11.Telephone Company exists. Some
of that special equipment should be unnecessary with the new system
� , and when removed should reduce the cost those users have been paying
which in effect will reduce the net increase in total costs Fridley
residents will have to pay.

Page Two.
A copy of ADT's propasal is attached which outlines the total
aci.ditional cost per subscriber. An initial "installation charge" of
$75.00 will be made plus a monthly charge of from $8.00 to $9.50 per
subscriber. (There now are approximately 180 total subscribers to
Alarm Systems terminating in Columbia Heights, Fridley, Coon Rapids
and Anoka Sheriff's Office and assuming 150 or more convert over, the
subscribers will pay $8.00 per month.)
ADT has stated six (6) months will be required to completely install
the system, however, they have suggested portions of it could probably
be operational in a shorter period of time. We have notified them
of.the Law Enforcement Council's decision sa that they can immediately
get started on preparing the hardware.
Realizing that some of the present users will likely react unfavorably
to the additional costs for continuing their Burglar and Fire alarm
system, the Law Enforcement Council agreed that each municipality
affected by the changeover should give the notice to the present sub-
scribers in their community. This notice should inform each user who
now has an alarm in your Police Station (Columbia Heights, Coon Rapids,
Fridley, and Anoka Sheriff's Offi.ce) of the following:
l. As of approximately July 15 the Burglar and Fire alarms will
be "relocated" to the Central Communications Center in Anoka.
2. A one-time conversion charge of $75.00 will be billed by ADT.
3. A monthly charge of from $8.00 to $9.50 per month will be billed
to them by ADT, (ADT would bill on a"quarterly", semi-annually,
or "annual" basis depending on the individual subscriber's pre-
ferenc�.) .
Note: The exact amount per month depends on how many of the
� present users convert over. Should less than 150 convert
over initially, we would expect the rate be revised down-
ward should additional users be added later.
�
��
�
�

�
�
On the other side of this issue, the new system should make considerable
improvement in the alarm service�available to the x�esidents. Some of
these anticipated benefits are:
l. Reduction in the number of false alarms attributed to mechanical
problems in equipment and line circuits due to its "supervisory"
capabilities. �
2. Cleans up the conglomeration of equipment that now exists in some
of the stations.
3. Dociaments by means of a high speed printer all alarm activities
providing such data as "time of activation", "date", "identification
of premise", "nature of alarm" such as fire, burglary or equipment
malfunction. '
lMarch 13, 1974 . �. C
Page Three.
, • 4. Makes alarm service more readily available and more economical to
residents in the rural areas of the County than now is possible.
�
�
�
�
�
�
Costs for future users would be the same as above plus the cost of
the alarm hardware they install at their premise from the Alarm
Company of their choice.
Alternatives available to people interested in having Alarm Service
are as follows:
l. Use our proposed system with these rates.
2. Subscribe to a"Central Station" type service where alarms are
watched by a commercial organization. Rates would be a very
minircium of $25-$35 per month depending upon the distance involved.
I would expect that perhaps each of you will have questions about the
implementation of this new Alarm System, and I will make myself
available at your convenience should further discussions be necessary.
ADT would, I'm sure, likewise be available should clarification be
needed from them on the proposed system.

MEMORANDUM
NASIM M. QURESHI, CITY MANAGER, AND CITY COUNCIL
MARVIN C. BRUNSELL, ASST. CITY MGR./FIN. DIR.
SUBJECT: SEWER AND WATER RATES
DATE: . MARCH 25, 1974
In accordance with Chapter 236, 1973 Session Laws and the Environmental
Protection Agency Regulations, pursuant to the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act of 1972, each City is required to adjust its sewer rate
schedules by January l, 1974 so that the schedules comply with the above
referred to laws and regulations.
These laws relate to sewer charges only. Two factors which must be complied
with are, tl�at each customer or class of customnrs must pay its proportionate
share of the cost of sewage disposal in porportion to the sewage discharge
of that customer or class of customers, and sliding scales cannot be used for
sewer rates.
Based on these guidelines, we have prepared a revised sewer rate schedule for
the City of Fridley. Under the proposal, all R-1 customers would pay the same
rate. The rate is calculated in such a way that R-1 customQrs in total would pay
their proportionate share of sewage disposal. All other types of customers
would be on a rate schedule. This rate schedule would not be a sliding rate
.schedule. These customers would pay their proportionate share of the system.
The rate would basically be $.58,per 1,000 gallons.
The sewer rates are based on the assumption the sewer bill that the City pays
to the Metropolitan Sewer Soard will average $400,000 per year for the next five
years (exclusive of SAC charges). 7his is based on information received from
the comptroller's office of the Metropolitan Sewer Board. In addition, the
City must collect enough to maintain and administer the sewer system.
The total revenue raised from these revised sewer rates will drop approximately
$52,557 compared to 1973. This would provide a total sewer budget of $�63,000
per year, exclusive of SAC charges. The sewer bill for R-1 properties would be
$10.75 per quarter. This compares with $12.00 per quarter at the present time.
The rate for all other properties would be $.58 per 1,000 gallons, with a minimum
of a 20,000 gallons �r $11.60. R-1 properties contribute 45.36 per cent of the
winter flow at the present time. Under this proposal, R-1 properties would pay
45.36 per cent of the total sewer billings.

T0: NASIM M. QURESHI, CITY MANAGER, AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: SEWER AND WATER RATES
PAGE 2 .
It is proposed that water rates also be raised at this time, inasmuch as
water revenues were $116,198 less in 1973 than they should have been in
order to break even on the operation, plus have sufficient money to transfer
to bond funds.
Water rates are being revised upward approximately twenty-eig�t perc�nt.
This would allow the water operation to break even, that is, the water operation
would make enough to make the bond transfers to the bond funds, plus pay the
operating casts, including depreciation on certain items. T��e new minimum
charge on water would be $6.50 per quarter compared to the present $5.00 per
4uarter. �
There can, of course, be fluctuations in the costs of operating a sewer or
water system so there is no way to quarantee that rates will not have io be
adjusted again sometime in the next five years up or down.

Sol Schildhause, Esquire
Chief, Cable Television Bureau
Federal Coimnunication Coirnr►ission
jVashington, D. C. 20054
Dear DIr. Schildhause:
The citizens of the City of Fridley have been anxiously awaiting
the operation of the cable television system within our cormiunity
for sometime no�v. Initial delays were due to the original draft
of the City of Fridley's CATV Ordinance. Sut as of September of
last year, these problems have been resolved, and the recorrut►enda-
tions to the newly amended Fridley Cable Television Ordinance to
the Federal Conununications Connnission were in the best interest
of the industry and conrmunity. Our concern at this time is that
we have received no further correspondence relating to any action
from your Comunission.
Presently we have been made aware of a challenge to the certifi-
cation of Fridley's cable television system from the Hubbard
Broadcasting, Inc. (KSTP-TV) to the amendmenr of General Tele-
vision application for certification of carriage of CBZYI'
Winnepeg-I��lanitoba, Canada.
The Council of the City of Fridley, at their April l, 1974 meeting
unani.mously decided to ask the Federal Corrununications Cammission
to grant a certi�icate of compliance at the earliest possible
date for our cable television franchise, even if this means that
action on the c�uestion brought up by Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc.
concerning CB��'T certification be delayed to a later date.
Thank yau for your consideration, and the City Council and I hope
you will be able to supply us with the status. of General Tele-
vision's certification as soon as possible.
Yours truly,
Frank G. Liebl, Mayor
City of Fridley

Dear T�Zr. Qureshi :

The purpose of this letter is to advise you that v�e have completed �
a traific er�ineering study and are in the process of preparing con-
struction plans and specifications for revising the signals at these
locations. Before proceeding with work on this project� the various
maintenance responsibilities snould be reviewed.
The existir� maintenance agreement shows that the underground �acil-
ities and hardware are maintained by Fridley. It is ielt that it
would be beneiicial for the State to assu.r.ie that portion of the main-
tenance in order to brin; these maintenance nrovisions in line with
those at other signalized intersections on trunk highways.
The proposed agreement will p"rovide that a11 maintenance, with the •
exception of relamping� painting and cleaning, will be assur!med by
the Sta-�e. The exception woul.d �e the re�ponsibility o� Fridley.
Power costs to run the system would also be the responsibility of
Fridley.
«�
The costs of reconstructing the signals will be borne solely by the
State.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STATEMENT
1. Identification and Description of the Actio
The proposed use of North Park, Fridley, Minnesota, hereafter know as
the action, is for the development of a golf course with supplemental recre-
ation use such as snowshoeing, cross eountry skiing, winter nature study, walk-
ing paths and other open space recreation.
HISTORY: North Park is a 123 acre parcel of land acquired by the City of Frid-
ley in 1972 with the aid of a LAWCON grant from the Federal Bureau of Outdoor
Recreation and the State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for the
-purpose of developing outdoor recreation facilities to include a municipal golf
course and other compatible uses for year-round recreational activities.
On February 26, 1973 the City Council of the City of Fridley hired a con-
sultant, Brauer and Associates Inc., to do a detailed study to determine the
best use of North Park. A citizen group was formed to work with the consultants
on a step-by-step basis. In May 1973, the consultants recommended the following:
A-. Golf should have first priority on the use of.:the:North Park site
tivith the following order of development:
- Prepare plans for golf course use including priority acquistion area.
- Addit.ional land would be desirable for optimum design and environmental
impact.
-- Fence that part of the site designated in the plan for golf course
development.
- Resolve the drainage problem to the north and east, offsite if possible.
- Clear the site of debris and begin resa�urce management program.
- Begin reclamation of vehicular damaged areas.
- Hire a golf course superintendent and begin construction. �
g, Fridley should begin immediately to develop a comprehensive program of
nature interpretation and outdoor education in cooperation with all of
the school districts, Anoka and Ramsey counties, including:
- A clear and understandable ur ose for interpretation and education.
- Key personnel, both paid_and voluntary.
- Critical opFrational elements - progression, provisions and promotion.
- Developed and managed resource bases.
�, Fridley should take the lead in establishing a municipal or municipal-
county joint powers project to develop and manage a coordinated system
of resource bases for nature interpretation and outdoor education at: ,
- Locke-Park /Rice Creek Park/ Medtronic Park
- Islands of Peace
- Bunker Prairie
- Bush Lake
- Chain-of Lakes (Lino Lakes)
- Carlos Avery .

�' Environmental Assessment Statement _
, D. Nature interpretation and outdoor education should have first priority
on the use of Locke Park with the following order of development:
- Prepare a plan including additional acreage available to the east
for environmental impact.
- Acquire additional 6-10 acres on northeast end.
- Fence entire site for control.
- Move picnic and general park use to the west.
- Begin reclamation and management program and introduce wildlife as �
habitat is developed and restored.
= Construct quiet water areas.
- Revise present main picnic shelter to serve as interpretive structure.
� On January 21, 1974, in a 4 to 1 vote, the City Council of the City-of
Fridley made the final determination that North Park be developed as a golf course
with the potential for year round activities of other compatible uses.
Also that a nature interpretive program and outdoor education program be
� . . developed. to make use of over 150 acres of public park lands presently in its
natural state within the City of Fridley.
On February 27, 1974 the City of Fridley was notified of the filing of a
� petition of 526 signatures with the Environmental Quality Council requesting
that an Environmental Impact Statement be prepared for the proposed use of North
Park as a golf course. This item was discussed at the March 12, 1974 Environmental
� Qual.ity Council Hearing at which time they required the City of Fridley to
prepare an Environmental Assessment of the action.
�
NEED FOR GOLF COURSE DEVELOPMENT: (As outlined by the Brauer Report)
* A distinct void of both public and private golf courses north and
east of Fridley. There are only 5- 18-hole public courses and
2- 9-hole public courses east of the htississippi within the 10
mile radius.
,
� * Majestic Oaks, presently a public course will in the future become
a private course to meet the needs of housing development proposals
and b� consistent with the large clubhouse investment.
� * Coon Rapids is p�resently adding 9 executive holes at Bunker Prairie.
* Brooklyn Park is presently contemplating construction of an 18 hole
public golf facility.
* No additional PUBLIC courses are under consideration within the first
tiers of neighboring municipalities. -
* The high school golf team presently utilizes� the Daytona Public
Golf Course, well outside of the market area.
* Population-to-course ratios within the market area indicate a definite
shortate of courses to handle the population at present and in the
� future (1990 projections).
� -2-
�� Environmental Assessment Statement
* Golf facilities presently utilized by residents of Fridley range
from Daytonato Forest Lake and south into the Minneapolis area.
* Crowded conditions exist at most all of the public courses within
the ten mile radius.
RELATION TO STATE AND LOCAL RECREATION PLANS: According to the State of Minnesota
Outdoor Recreation Plan of 1968 and the 1969 Executive Summary, there was a
deficiency of 35 courses in the Metropolitan region that should be met by the year
1980.
The City of Fridley Parks and Recreation Plan, May, 1969 calls for North
Park to be used for the developrnznt of a municipal golf course.

� � . Environmental Assessment Statement
� ' 2. Description of Environmental Settinq
LAND CHARACTERISTICS: The land characteristics of the action site is generally
� flat to rolling lowland area with a high water table creating numerous marsh
areas with higher land surrounding these areas. The area is drained by county
ditch system #17 which is blocked at the southwest corner of the park system by
a beaver dam. This dam presently has backed up a considerable quantity of water
� (approximately 20 acres). The action property consists of a wide variety of
vegetation ranging from marsh land grasses and prairie grasses to upland woods
including a considerable stand of Red Oak.
The surrounding property contains much of the same characteristics except
considerable clearing and filling has taken place to allow for the expansion of
industrial and commercial development in the area.
WILDLIFE CNARACTERISTICS:� A wide variety of wildlife population has_ been seen
in the action area, including a large number of bird sightings. Many small animals
have been observed with signs of several, such as deer, beaver, mink, muskrat,
raccoon, etc.
DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS: The City of Fridley presently has a population of
31,000 people with a projected population to reach its maximum growth by 2010
with an expected 44,000 people. The population characteristics are changing
with its growth. The average househo1d size is presently 3.65. The most recent
trend of the accep�ance of multiple dwelling units as well as the trend for smaller
families wi11 see this household size drop. With these changes, the City of Fridley
will see a maturing population with an increase in the number of elderly, a more
balapced middle group and a decline in school age population. These are the char-
�a��;�e r�;i��� cs that wi 11 shape the future pl anni ng for the Ci ty. These characteri sti cs
along with economic, housing, etc. can be summed up in the Brauer report for
support of increased recreation.
A. The market area will experience tremendous growth in the next two decades.
B. An aging population wiih increased.leisure time suggests strong need for
recreational facilities.
,
C, The market area population can be characterized as young middle-income
families who car� support fee-based areas and facilities.
D. A majority of the people own their homes, indicating a stable as opposed
to a "suitcase" com►nunity.
� EXISTING AND FUTURE LAND USE CONDITIONS: The proposed action, as public property,
is comp ete y surroun e y in ustri�a and commercial property.At the present time
the adjacent property to the action site is undeveloped. However much work has
been done in the vicinity and considerable clearing has tak�.n place. The action
� is within 1/4 of a mile from Northtown Shopping Center which has been classified
by the Metropolitan Council as a major regional center (such as Southdale, Brookdale,
etc.). With the full development capacity of Northtown as a regional center, there
� will be increased pressure to completely develop the surrounding commercial and
industrial property. Because of this development capability, there will be sub-
� stantial changes in the traffic patterns in the area and with the possible develop-
� ment of a North crosstown north of this action there could be possible ma3or road-
way overhauling. Presently there is a shopping center development being considered

just north of the action across Highway 132 with a projected traffic flow of
approximately 10,000 cars per day. With this development, County Highway 132
would be upgraded to a 4-lane channelized highway from East River Road to Truck
Highway 47 with a projected traffic count of 23,000 by 1985.
The Burlington Northern Railroad two line main track makes up the west
boundary of the Action Area. The present railroad traffic using this main line
is 35 trains per day or 1 train every 40 minutes. With the total development
of their railroad yards, they foresee an increase in the traffic by 1 train per
day, per year, so that by 1985 there will be 45 trains per day and by the year
2010 they will have 70 trains per day. �
EXISTING UTILITIES: Presently Northern States Power Company and the Metropolitan
Sewer District hold easements along the west boundary for a high power electric
line and a 72" sanitary sewer line. The sanitary sewer line runs directly below
the present beaver dam location and is buried 20 feet below the �urface. A service
road must be maintained for these facilities.
DRAINAGE SYSTEM: The action area is part of a total drainage area called Spring.
Broak Basin which has a total drainage area of 2,034 acres. 561 acres of this
total system is within.the corporate boundary of the City of Fridley. The remaining
1.,473 acres drains directly into the action area (including all of Northtown Shopping
Center). This total drainage area is only about 35% developed (mostly residential
development) and when the total commercial and industrial properties develop, there
will be a tremendous strain on the existing system, and could cause considerable
erosion downstream unless proper action is taken.

C�ixculation within tlie City is handled
by major east-west coni�ector streets
called thoroughfares. These streets
are designed to serve major local
�traffie and provide access to ttie
freeways and expressways. Mississippi
Street is the most heavily traveled of
the thoroughfares and provides a par-
ticularly congested area at its inter-
section with T.H. 47< This intersection
provides the main concentration of com-
mercial traffic. The frontage roads
empty out onto Mississippi Street here,
also causing added congPstion. Missis-
sippi Street is presentl.y carrying more
traffic than it was designed for and
will increase its load by about 35% by
1975. Other thoroughiares that'will
be feeling incxeased.loads are Osborne
road, 73rd Avenue N.E., 53rd Avenue N.E.
and Central Avenue.

The City of Fridley 'is divided into storm drainage districts .to serve the different
watershed areas. Adequate storcn sewer systems have been developed in a greater partion
of the C.ity, but there are three areas that are only partially completed. These are;
�Spring Brook Basin, Stonybrook Basin and Moore Lake Watershed. These are difficult
areas for the City to develop because a large percentage of the drainage comes from
areas outside of the City limits. In each case, the City of Fridley is on the dawn-
stxeam end of the drainage and, therefore, is faced with tihe bulk of the drainage
prpblem. The City has not been successful in getting cost participation agreements
with the other communities involved in these cases.
1. Spring Brook Basin has a total drainage area of 2,034 acres of which about 561 acres
are in Fridley. The greatest share of this drainage area is in Blaine with 1,130
acxes. This area is not yet fully developed and, therefore, the full drainage
, impact has not been fully realized. A regional shopping center has been built in
Blaine, just outside of Fridley's boundary, which puts a.tremendous sCrain on the
present system.
2. Stonybrook Basin is in the same situatian. Of its total 813 acres, 520 acres are
located in Spring Lake Park.
3• Similar problems exist in the Moare Lake W4tershad. New Brighton drains its excess
water into Fxidley's system putiting a �txain on �ts present cazrying capacity. •
In order to best protect i�s citizens from flooding and other health hazards, the Ci�y
is continually upgrading its gres�nt system and making the best use of its natura.l
drainageways and ponding areas. -

�The City af Fridley is divided into
foux schoal districts. School Aistric
;��14 is solely within the boundaries of
Fridley and has the greatest impact on
�he City. The Schaol District has fin
.ished all of its new construction and
plans now onJ.y for improvement of the
existing £aciliti.es.
,In setting up a Comprehensive Plan it
is necessaxy Co know the peak paints
of enrollment in the school age popu-�
t l.ation and be able to project these
points �n order to make full use o£
the facilit�es available and to deter-
' mine educational and recreational need,
The elementary schools in District ��_G
had reached their peak enrollment in
the 57-58 school year and have been
�steadily decreasing. From the 67-68
;season to the 72-73 season there will
'be a decrease of 809 elementary age ,
'children. This decrease will continue
:until approximately the 76-77 season
and then will begin to rise to a sec-
ond peak.

Oi�ti�U�iTY �ACil1i1E� �� `
� � S.A�lTARY SE�IER
�� Fridley is part of the Metro Sewer
�istricti. Local sewage is transmit-
.ted from Fridley, through a series of
� ,interceptor sewers, to the Pigs Eye
treatment plant in St. Paul.
�
�
�
�
�
�
�
Fridley's sanitary sewer system is
fairly complete because of the high
percentage of developed lands. How-
ever, there are bottle necks and
problem areas that need to be correct-�
ed within the exi.sting system. It is
also important that the City pro.vides
additional lines for new gro��th in
areas that are�presently undevelaped.
or have i.nadequate lines for their ,
type of use. �
The City is cQntinuaZly striving for �
�health safety and quality service for
thP protection o£ the citizen�as well
as the enviranment. For this reason,
the City has develop�d a Cam�rehen�ive
Sanitary Sewer Plan adopted by the
City Counci_1 on January 22, 1973
It assists the City in planning for
future needs and keeps pollution of
the natural resources to a rninimum.
This plan will work in conjunction
with the overall Comprehensive Plan
to better serve the City by directing
local improvements accozding to devel--
op�nent policies and growth potential
of the City. "

Th.e prevention of possible flood
damage is the primary purpose of�'
providing storm sewers. Rain or sur-
face water is .co� l.ected and carried
by the storm sewers to lakes, rivers
or st�eams. Storm sewers are utilized
to supplement the natural drainage
system in urban areas where buildings
and widespread paving materials pre-
vents the normal absorption of surface �
water by the ground. . .

Environmental Assessment Statement
3. Probable Impact of the Proposed Action
AIR QUALITY: There will be no adverse environmental effects on the quality
� of the air with the devclopment of a golf course. Any potential effects will
come with the total d�velo pmen t of the surrounding commercial and industrial
property.
GROUND WATER RECHARGE CAPABILITY: There wiil be no potential for significant
environmental impacts on the ground water. The runoff factor for composit areas
(which includes parks and golf courses) is very low with a 0.10 factor on a 1.0
scale for total runoff. This factor could run even less over the total property
due to the.fact that not all of a golf course is grass. (Information from State
Highway Drainage P�anual) Ponding areas will have to be provided to control increased
storm water runoff from the �djacent areas which will act as filtering basins and
water recharge areas. �
SURFACE WATER: The surfacQ water that presently exists would have to be '
reponded to fit golf course design. This, however, will have very little
effect on the water quality or the potential for ground water recharge. The
physical characteristics should keep pretty much the same with the revegetation.
of the ponds.
Chemical: In a discussion with Dr. Don White of the University of Minnesota
Soils Sciences, he said there shouldn't be any adverse effects to the water quality
due to the use af fertilization if the fertilizer practice is handled properly. In
recent studies by Dr. Farnam on fertilization on sod farms it did show no difference
in water quality on runoff.
Runoff: Runoff of the action (as stated previously) will have a very minimal
effect. However, runoff coming into the area will be a very major concern. The
system as it presently stands will not be able to handle the full impact of the
drainage as surrounding development continues. Control measures on the site as
well as off the site will be needed for the protection of downstream erosion. In
controlling this situation, the cooperation of the surrounding eommunities will be
necessary.
VEGETATION: The action will�have significant environmental effects on the vegetation
due to the disruption of the natural succession of the Anoka Sand P1ain.that is
taking place there. The action would require some clearing of the existing vegeta-
tion for the construction of fairways and.greens. The action would however, preserve
as much of the existing characteristics as possible and provide a planting and
management program to maintain a natural characteristic which is important in golf
course management.
FAUNA: As with the vegetation, there will also be alteration to and possibly
removal of many species of wildlife habitation. The disruption of the successtion
of the vegetation will definitely change feeding patterns and remove many of the
migrant and present inhabitants of the area. It would be�poss�ble that a number
of bird species and small mammal species that are more adaptable to change would
remain.
However, the action area makes up only a small part of the present overall
ecosystem in which the fauna exist. Disruption of this ecosystem is presently
taking place with encroaching commercial and industrial property and could
drastically change the present habitat of the wildlife. Also uncontrolled trail
bike dam�,ge and unconcerned dumping has already displaced wildlife in some areas

, Environmental Assessment Statement
of the action site.
NOISE: The action has no potential �or significant environmental effects. The
noise that will be pr�duced will come from development around the action area.
(Rail traffic, highway noise, industrial and commercial noise).
LAND:
Erosion - Action would be better suited for erosion control than for causing
erosion to take place.
WETLANDS: The action would _h�Ye some effect on the pre�ent.wetland �
characteristics of the action area. They would probably liave to be arained and
reshaped to fit the design for a golf course. However, the reshaping and reponding
of the wetlands will still be able to provide the basic function of a filtering
basin for collecting silt and organic material and reduce peaks by serving as
storage�area for storm sewer runoff. It will also provide needed storage areas for
grourd water recharge. However, the draining and reshaping of the wetlands will
disrupt vegetation and fauna habitats.
PARK LAND RECREATION: The action will provide the needed variety of recreational
� activities. Estimated usage figures brought out in the Brauer report shows that
the action would produce a high use recreation area.
� CAMPATIBILITY OF USES: The action is very compatible to the surrounding uses and
in fact enhances the area by providing visual relief, recreation facilities in
high commercial use areas, for ease access and public exposure.

I �
�
AESTHETICS: No potential for significant environmental effects.
SOCIO-ECONOMIC: No potential for significant environmental effects.
Public Health and Safety: Action will not be detrimental to the Public
Health and Safety, in fact it will promote the public health through its recreation
facilities.
Conformance with Plans: The action conforms with the City's comprehensive park
plan, comprehensive land use�plans and zoning regulations as well as the open space
recreation requirements for which it was purchased.

4. Unavoidable Environmental Effects
A. Disruption of the existing vegetation succession (as discussed).
B. Disruption of the animal habitat (as discussed).
5. Mitigation of Environmental Effects
VEGETATION: Although disruption of existing vegetation success is inevitable
with the developme-nt of the action, it is possible to still preserve a natural
environmental surrounding through the use of proper vegetation management and .
control. This would also allow for the reversing of some of the damage that has been
done by the uncontrolled use of trail bikes and the unconcerned dumping of trash
that has taken its effect in.the area. Wetland management and wetland vegetation
should be a part of a good golf course design to allow for areas of small animal
habitats that are�most abl�e to adjust to a change in environment. This vegetation
management should not be overloeked in any open space function and should provide
some mitigation of the effect of change on the environment.
ANIMAL: The disruption of animal habitats is unavoidable with the development of
this action. The main animal population that wo.uld be affected by this change
would be the migratory population that depend on a vast area for its habitat. (Any
changes in its system would cause changesin its habitat). The present encroachment
of industrial an� commercial development and expected increase in street develop-
ment, automobile traffic and population usage of the area, has already•.st�rted io take
effect on the overall ecosystem of the migratory animals in this area. This dis-
ruption will increase in the near future. It is possible however, to maintain
a certain amount of the small animal population that is most adaptable to change
by developing vegetation management and protectian areas (described previously)
which could possibly be worked into a golf course design.

Environmental Assessment Statement
6. Conclusion
MAJOR ACTION OF MORE THAN LOCAL SIGNIFICANCE: The action was first initiated
through the use of LAWCON funding fcr tre purchase of recreational open space for
the development of the golf course. The project was given its priority only because
of the golf course deficiency as set by the 1968 Minnesota Outdoor Recreation Plan
and the need for the facility in the North suburbs. As a golf course, the action
would satisfy LAWCON grant requirements for projects of regional significance. The
action would provide recreation open space for a large segment of the northern suburbs
with a possib]e market area of 10 miles with prime focus on 5 miles (as set by the
Brauer Report). In this sense of the project it would have more than local signifi-
cance. However, much of the benefits provided by such an action would have direct
�i=Qni`f.�:�ance for the 1 ocal uni t of government, as outl i ned by the Brauer Report.
"A.munic;pal golf course facility has various inherent qualities to offer a
community. '
* Open Space-- A golf course within any community should be classified as a
part of an open space system. It offers visual and physical relief and
freshness to developed areas, i.e., structures, roads, etc., and is there-
fore an asset �ttracting people to the community.
* Recreational Facility--Recreational use, the primary function of a golf
course, is important to any community. The area can offer varied recre-
ational activities besides golf, which might include tennis, court games,
a swimming pool, winter and summer trails, and picnicking. These additional
park activities are dependent on careful planning, adequate space, economic
status, as well as land developability.
* Social--A golf course has inherent social qualities. The clubhouse facility
can be a meeting place for neighborhood and community functions. The
records and achievements of many citizen golfers provide personal associ-
ation with the faciiity.
* Identification-Image=-Most courses organize and sponsor golf tournaments
which usually recei�e multi-media publicity. As a result, the course
becames a promotional asset of the community.
* Seasonal Use--A course need not be limited to use from Anril through October.
During the win er months activiiies such as cross-country skiin,g and snowshoe-°
ing, jogging, �ature observation and int�rpretation, and continuing social •
functions can make use of the area and facilities.
*. Property Value--Land adjacent to or near a golf course is more desirable and
often more valuable. On a long-term basis, a course preserves and enhances
the value of the neighborhood. As a result, property tax.revenue is gener-
ally maintained at a consistently higher ievel over a period of years.
* Education--A golf course in the community allows schools to offer golf
instruction, enter interscholastic competition, introduce intramural pro-
grams, as well as fitting into the community recreational program.
* Retirement--Senior citizens' should not be isolated from the younger members
� of the recreational community. Today we need to plan for the active senior
citizen.. Golf allows a mix of ages, physical exercise in which any person
-9-
�
�
C_�
Environmental Assessment Statement
can participate at his or her own pace. It is one of the few recreational
facilities which can be used by all ages at any time.
� * Revenue--The aim of most municipal courses it not profit, but with
increasing play, many public courses in the metropolitan area do produce
surplus monies. This surplus could be used for other recreational programs,
' supplement the general fund, pay for recreational facilities, or be used
for future golf course improvements."
' P07ENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: As stated previously, the two
basic effects of the action would be the alteration of the plant succession and
the habitat alteration of the existing animals. These, however, could not be
classified as having a potential for adverse environmental effects due to the
� character of the surrounding properties and the potentiai damage to both of these .
iiabitats with the outside disruption of the ecosystem that this project will have
no control over. The social benefits that this action would provide would far
�� outweigh the adverse environmental effects that would eventually take place with
the total commercialization of the surrounding properties. The action would be
compatible to the surrounding land uses by providing a visual relief in a heavy
commercialized area, the traffic patterns and improved road systems would provide easy
� access and maximum visual contact which is impo�tant to a successful golf course.
It would not be adversely affected by the encroachment of the industrial and
�
�
r
,
commercial development, but instead it would be benefited by providing the exposure
of a regional shopping center. Tt is providing open space for a variety of recre-
ation uses that is important for a growing population and an increasing amount of
leisure time. This increase in leisure time is showing up mainly in those age
groups that utilize the facilities the most.
It would provide additional revenue to the City for the purpose of expanding
and improving recreational opportunities to its residents. It wi11 provide an
identification or an image for the City and provide an inducement for better
comm�rcial and industrial developments. These developments would benefit the
community through its increased tax base� with which other worthwhile commur�ity
projects could be funded.
� These, and other benefits that the

action would provide, would definitely be

Environmental Assessment Statement
7. Recommendations �
It is the recommendation of the City of Fridley that an Environmental
Impact Statement not be required for thE: following reasons:
A. No new information will come out of an environmental impact statement �
.._ that hasn't already been presented to tFe Environmental Quality Council
by both the petitioners and the City of Fridley and any further action
would be unnecessary delay and increased cost to the residents of the
City of Fridley. Therefore it is requsted that action be taken on the
� information available.
•
B. The action does not have the potential for adverse environmental effects
for the reasons stated in the assessment.
C. The determination should be based on the effects of the action only
and not on a comparison of alternate uses. The final determined usage
should not be a determination of the Environmental Quality Council
but rather a determination by the City of Fridley.

ENVIRONb1ENTA� ASSESSMENTS
An environmental assessment (EAj is a brief review of the potential
impact of a given action on the component parts of ihe enviranment. Its
purpose is to assist the Environmental Quality Council (EQC) in det2rmining
►vnether an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) shall be required on the
proposed action.
TIP�IE
If a petition is received pursuant to P-1�QC 14 requesting an EIS on an action,
the EQC sha]l, within 45 days, direct the preparation of an EA. In all
other cases under which an EA might be prepared, there is ro specific
i:ime �iimit tivithin which EQC must direct the preparation of the EA.
Once the EQC has directed that an EA be przpared, the preparer has 45 days
to complete the EA and submit it to EQC. If the EA is not prepared upon
direction of EQC, but rather is pr�epared ugon a decision by a proposer or
Responsible Agency io do so, the EA must be submitted to EQC �lithin 45 days
aft�r notice was given to E�C of the decision to prepare the EA. This 45-day
period may be extended a single time for 15 days.
The EQC must act uoon an EA within 45 days. If EQC reviews an EA and finds
it inadequate, the EA is returned to the preparer for revision. The
r�vised EA must be resubmitted within 30 days. Upon r�ceipt of the revised
EA, EQC again has 45 days to review it.
If the EQC fails to review an EA within the prescr�b�d 45-�ay period,
this constitutes acceptance of thz recomnendation of the prep�rer of the EA
as to whether or not an EIS shall be required on the action.
THE PREPARER
� An EA can be prepared by the proposer of the action; by EQC's staff; or
� by any other public agency that has some form of jurisdiction over �he action.
Under no circumstanc�s may �he Council require a proposer of a private
'I � action to prepare his own EA, althougn the Council can so direct �'ts otivn
staff or a public agency.
'
�
�
'
�
�
Normally ihe Council will designate a public ag°ncy as the Responsible Agency
when the Council directs the.preparation of an EA, and that Responsible
Agency will prepare the EA. In sorre cases a proposer may elect to preoare
an EA without the Council having directed its preparation and designated a
Responsible Agency. For exampie, a proposer of a private aczion may
perceive the near certainty thai an EA «ill be required on the proposed
action, and may ti��ish to prepare the EA himself so as to expedite the review
process. In such a case, the E,4 shail be reviewed by the locai unit of
government having jurisd:ction over the project, 4rnich iriay revise the EA
as it sees fit. The EA will be submitted via the local unit of government
to the Council.
t�ilier� a proposer elects to prepare an EA upon his own decision, he shall notify
the Chairman of EQC by letter of his intention to do so. He should also
notify the Chairman a�hen the EA has been completed.

CONTEP�IT
The Environmental Impact Statement Regulations, section MEQC 13.A, specify
tY�e cont�nt of an EA as follo+�vs:
1. Identification of the action
2, Description of the action and environmental sett�ng
3. Probabie effects of the action on the environment
4. M�tigaiion of adverse effects
5. Conclusion as to wnether:
a. The action is a major governmental action, or a
, private action of more than local significance;
b. The action ha� th� potential for significant
�
�
�
�
�
L�
major
envi ronrrental effects .
6. Recommendations as to wh�iher or not an EIS should be prepared.
7he Identification of the Action should identify the person or a�ency proposing
the action, identify the type and magnitude of the action, list �11 final
d�cisions to be made by governmental ag�ncies on the action and the status
of these final decisions, identify the person or agency submi�ting the action,
and specifically explain �rhy the EA is being prepared.
The Descript�on of the Action and Environmental Setting should not only
describe the action, but aiso identify the location of the action (ma�s

The environmental setting in the area �to be afrected by the action should
be described briefly, including such items as t�oqr__a_phx, demogra.hy,,iand

affected by the proposed action. �'
, 7he Probable Efrects of the Action on the Er.vironment is the gist of the
environrrental assess;,�eni, and is crucial to tne decision whether -to require
an EIS o� tne project. 1'he likely iirpac�s of the acticn on bio�ogical, physical,
� chemical, social, econonic, and cultural factors should be ass�ssed. Aithoun,h
ber�eficiai or neutral environmeni�l effects can be included to impart
perspectiv�, major empnasis shou7d be on adverse im,�a�ts. l�engthy study and
precise quantification oT�erivironmental impacts are the function o� the EIS;
, in c�eneral, the EA should concentrate on dei�ermining ti��hether the potential
for significant environmental`effects does exist:
, The action should be checked asainst the following list of environmental
parameters. This is not to say �that th° impact of the action with r�spect
to each parameter should be investigated in detail; that would be tantamaunt
� to preparing an EIS. Rather, �the analys� should concentrate en those paramet2rs
fior which there is a potential for "significant environmental effects."

P-litiqation of Adverse Effects should discuss environmentai p?anning efforts
�µ and remediai cr mitigative measu•res that may reduce adverse environmenta7
effects. Efforts or measures already taken can be included. Alterati�ns
to the action �vhich, if adopted, might preciude the ne�d�for an EIS can be
included as well.
In the Conclusion, the preparzr shall state his finding as to wnether 1)
the action is a major governmental action or a major privat� action of
more than local significance; and 2) the action has ihe potential for
significant environrrental effects. The EQC staff will be conducting siudies
on these quzstions and will eventually publish guidelines and threshholds
which will assist in the determination of "major aciion�" "more than local
significance," and "significant environmental effects." Until such time as
these studies are completed, preparers of EAs are asked to utilfze sound,
objective judgement. EQC will have the final authority in deciding wrether
t}�� preparer's conclusions are warranted, and will exercise this authority
in the form of r-eview �f EAs.
