REQUEST FROM PARK CONSTRUCTION TO PARK RECREATION VEHICLE TRAILE Mayor Nee stated the Planning Comm�ssion has recommended approval of this request with certa�n stipulations. , � 1 � i� s; RCGULAR ��1EETIfJG OF SEPTEh1BER 22, 19�0 PAGE 5 Mr. Duane Prairie appeared 6efore the Counc�l regarding his request to park up to six recreational vehicle trailers. He stated they would like to put in sewer so the�r employees could temporarily park these recreational vehicles He explained �t is difficult for their personnel to find a spot to park these vehicles for several months when they are in town. He felt the only benefit they would receive is that there would be personnel in the yard at night to prevent vandalism. fdr. Pra�rie expla�ned there could be up ta six trailers parked, but not necessarily this amount at all times. ' Mr. Herrick, Ctty Attorney, asked if parking of these vehicles would be a seasonal use. Mr. Pra�rie stated vehicles would be parked there mostl� �n the summer months, Mr. Herrick asked the maximum pertod of time any one vehicle would be parked on the property. �+lr. Prairie stated it was difficult to answer as it could be six months or only one week. Mr. Herrtck stated he didn't have a problem with this request from a zoning standpoint. He stated there are a number of commercial or industrial ventures that have people livtng there for purposes of security. Counc�lman Barnette pointed out when you have large construction pro�ect, there are tra�lers parked on the site and they remain there for six months to several years, dependin9 on the size of the pro,7ect. MOTION 6y Councilwoman Moses to grant the license to Par�l< Construction to license and park a maximum of six recreational vehicles on the Park Con-� struction Company lot, with the size of the vehicles not to exceed 28 feet in length, and the l�cense be reviewed annually.

RECEIVING INPUT IN THE IMPLEMENTATION SECTION OF THE FRIDLEY COMPREHENSIVE nniri nnnnrniT �i nni. Mr. Flora, Public Works �irector, stated the Comprehenstve Plan that was developed had an Implementation Section and the Planning Commission has rev�ewed it, making one minor modiftcaiion, and it is now before the Council for consideration. Mr. Flora stated the Implementation Plan satisf�es those requirements of the hietropolitan Council in order to obtain favorable consideration for fundtng of pro,7ects being coordinated with them. Mayor Nee stated on Page 7BB regarding the Local Housing Bond Program where it states, "the C�ty will initiate a single fam�ly mortgage revenue bond program" he felt the Council had not come to that conclusion. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, po�nted out he was not even sure the City would qual�fy for single famtly mortgage revenue bonding, however, certain types of multiple units can qualify. Mr. Flora siated City is establishing some basic considerations they would follow in providtng modest cost housing opportunities such as Zoning Code ' revtsions, streaml�ning the hous�ng development approval process and, when cond�t�ons become favorable, a local housing bond program. He felt the plan is saying, if possible, the Ctty will revieta these three elements and consider them in provid�ng modest cost hous�ng opportunities. �nr L�'- �, REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 22, 1980 PAGE 6 Councilwoman Moses suggested perhaps changing the word "in�tiate" to "consider" and the words "s�ngle family" to "residential" on Page 7B6, Ttem 3, Local Housing Bond Program. Councilman Schneider quest�oned the reference to Figure 4-3 on Page 4-17 as noted on Page 7AA, paragraph 1. P1r. Flora expla�ned in the Comprehen- sive Plan areas are shown that are zoned residential and ones that are now vacant and can be considered for res�dential development and those are the ftgures referred to tn this paragraph. Councilman Schneider vo�ced concern over the figure of 1,$59 additional households by 1990. Mr. Qureshi stated the City census figure �s low in population and high in households �n relat�on to the pro�ections of the Metropolitan Council and would think that is a trend. Mr. �ick Harris, Chairman of the Planning Commiss�on, stated the item on Page 7BB regard�ng the Local Housing Bond Program was discussed by the Commission and the words "single family" were not changed to "residentia1" since that would also include apartments and they didn't know if that was really the thrust of the pro9ram. He felt what they were tryln9 to do is help the �ndiviuual to 6e able to acquire moderate rncome housing and not add a large development. He felt if the words "single family" were chan9ed to "residential", it would imply a reference to apartments also. Mr. Qureshi, C�ty Manager, felt it depands on the need when the Ctty considers these proposals and if they zero in on only one area, this probably isn't good as the conirol would sttll be in the City's hands. Mayor Nee stated his concern with mortgage revenue bonding for housing is that the private market isn't going to be able to compete. Councilman Schneider felt if the language is changed under Item 3, Page 7BB, as suggested by Councilwoman Moses, it is open enough that it doesn't lock the City into a certain type of housing. i�1r. Flora stated the entire Comprehensive Plan would be submitted to the Council before it ts submitted to the Metropolitan Council on PJovember l. t�1r. Quresh� stated staff would tncorporate the changes on Page 766, Item 3, to change the work "initiate" to "consider" and the words "single family" to "residential". There were no other recommended changes to th�s Implementation Sectton of the �.�mprehensive Plan. Mr. Flora, Pu61ic Works Director, stated the C9ty is keeping commum cations open with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the Health Department and hazardous waste offices, and advisiny them of any stipulat�ons imposed on these properties or any cleanup action that may be deemed appropriate. Counc�lman Schneider asked Mr. Flora tf the memo which the Council received from him regard�ng stipulations placed on these properties had been provided to the Environmental Quality Commission. Mr Flora stated this memo was sent , ' ' ' � REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEhiBER 22, 1q�0 PAGE 7 to the Commission and the City is doing what the Commission has requested as a matter of routine. MINUTES, AUGUST 26. 1 Action was taken on this item earlier in the meeting. ITEM - C�NSiDERATI RECEIVING APPEALS COMMISSION MINl1TES OF AUGUST 26, 1980 ED Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated the City is working w�th Fridley United Methodist Church �n develop�n9 the property to be in compliance w�th the C�ty Zo m ng Codes. He stated it was requested the church increase �ts landscaping around the parking lot and install concrete curb and stripe the parking lot. Mr. Flora stated a variance has been requested to waive the requirement for the concrete curb on t�e_entire pet-�imeter of the parking stalls, and replace it with landscaping, and to allow the parking lot to be 0 feet from the property line instead of the required 20 feet. Mr. Flora stated the curbing requirement was discussed, however, the church felt it was a cons�derable expense. Mr. Flora stated there are alternatives that could be used, but the church_s position is they don't have the funds for curbing at this ttme. Mr. Flora stated staff would l�ke to get screening along the per�meter of the parking area and obtain a committment for installation of some sort of concrete curbing. Councilman Schneider stated the two issues �nvolved are a setback less than 20 feet for landscaping and the concrete curbing. Mr. Bill Peterson, representing Fridley United Methodist Church, stated they could stand a ftve foot loss in the parking lot without giving up a row of parking. He felt a solution might be to go in five feet on the boulevard and also put �n sane culverts. He stated the church would str�pe the parking lot and enclose the trash container. He stated they vaould work out the landscaping matter, but wanted additional time on the concrete curbing. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated he would suggest a variance from 0 feet to 6 feet as this would still give them their parking stalls and add some space for plantings. He stated he would suggest the matter of the curbing be left open for several years, as the church may then be in a better fi nancial situation. Councilwoman Moses stated the problem is that there is an ord7nance saying concrete curbing is required and to allow the church not to have it would be settiny a precedent. She quest�oned if the rest of the churches tn the City havz�concrete curbs. Mr. Flora stated they are up in various staqes and staff is trying to work with all persons in attempting to gei the propei°tTes up to code. Mr. Peterson stated he had no problem with the 6 foot setback requirement, � however, they would lose parking stalls on the East side, and would come back tn three years to review the questton on the concrete curbing. .� � � •r�� ,�.�Slj REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 22, 1980 PAGE 3 hi0TI0N by Councilman Schneider to grant a variance to Fridley United Methodist Church, 666 Miss�ssippi Street, to reduce the parking lot setback from the required 20 feet to 6 feet, w�th the understanding they will work with the administration on an acceptable landscaping plan. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all uoi�ng aye, Mayor Nee delcared the mot�on carried uninimously. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to instruct the administration to bring back the quest�on of the concrete curbing in three years. Seconded by ' Councilman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. REQUEST FOR VARIANCE TO INCREASE MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF FENCE, 6850 SIVERTS LANE. MR. AND FTRS. SIVERTS: P�r. Flora, Publ�c Works Director, stated this is a request for a variance to increase the height of a fence from 4 feet to 6 feet to allow for additional privacy. Mr. Flora stated the Siverts �nitially wanted to construct the fence along the curb, hovrever, the Appeals Commission recommended the fence be back 10 feet from the curb line. He stated, if th�s is done, staff has no ob�ection to the fence being six feet h�gh. CounciLnan Schneider stated the only way he could see where the view for the Anderson's property would be blocked was �f the fence was running perpendicular to Siverts. No persons in the aud�ence spoke regarding this variance request. MOTION 6y Councilman Schneider to concur with the recommendation of the Appeals Commission and grant the variance to increase the maximum height of a fence, within the limits of front yards, from 4 feet to 6 feet, with the stipulatron that the fence be 10 feet back from the edge of the black- , top. Seconded by CouncilvJOman Moses. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the mot�on carried unanimously. REQUEST FOR VARIANCE TO ALLOW BLACKTOP IN LQADING AREA AT REAR OF EXISTIPJG BUILDING TO BE 0 FEET, 7151 CDPTIERCE CIRCLE EAST, GERALD Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated this is a request for a variance to allow the blacktop in the loading area at the rear of an exist�ng build- ing to be D feet instead of the required 5 feet, at 7151 Commerce Circle East. He stated th�s area would be easier to maintain and keep clean without curbing. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated, in this case, the purpose of the require- ment of curbing is to protect the building from unnecessary maintenance due to veh7cles hitting it. He stated most of the area would not be used for parking and the intent of the ordinance would not make sense, since most of the area is used for loading docks. MOTION by Counci7woman Moses to concur vn th the recommendation oflthe Appeals Commission and grant the variance to allow the blacktop in the loadtng area in the rear of an existing build�ng to be 0 feet �nstead of the required 5 feet, with the stipulation that protective posts be placed around the gas meters and power transformers.

RESOLUTION N0. 101-1980 CALLING FOR PUBLIC HEARING PURSUANT TO MINNES STATUTES, SECTION 474.01, SUBDIVISION 7B, REGARDING PROPOSED $925,000 Mr. George Halvorson, President of First Corporate Servtces, Inc., appeared before the Council on behalf of Mr. Paschke to request a public heartng be held �n regard to the issuance of �ndustrial revenue bonds to finance con- struction of an office building at 73rd and U m versity. He stated, with constructton of this building, it would mean approximately 100 new ,7ob openings. He stated they already have pre-leases for about 25% of the building and would be at full capacity by the t�me the building �s fi m shed. Councilman Schneider questioned the len9th of the leases. Mr. Paschke stated they were three to five years. Mr. Halvorson stated the bonds would be for a 12 year period, with a maximum of 20 years. � Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, asked what type of financing they would obtain. Mr. Halvorson stated these bonds would be privately placed with a financial institution, Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated the basic question at this time is whether the Council feels they wish to make available the vehicle of industrial revenue bonds for a commercial venture. He stated, in the past, the practice has been to use th�s type bond for tndustrial development, as expansion of an existing 6usiness or a new venture. He polnted out this would be an entirely d�fferent situation where the building is being constructed and su6-leased to other tenants. Mr. Halvorson stated he didn't see the difference between an tndustrial building or an office building. He stated it is new employment to the community and is not a commercial venture in the sense of a lumber yard or restaurant He felt it is a situatton that falls wtthin the State statutes and, hopefully, the Council will give it consideration. Mr. Qureshi stated he was merely raising the question if this was an area where the Council wishes to provide this means of financ�ng. MOTION 6y Counc�lman Barnette to set a public hearin9 for Oc*.ober 2�, 198�, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 474.01, Subdivision 7B, regarding proposed $925,000 industrial development revenue pro�ect of Gerald Paschke Seconded by Councilwoman Moses.
