' 1 ' Z� r> � PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF NOVEMBER 10, 1980 PAGE 2 Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated Minnesota Transfer Railway Company is requesting a replat of their parcel which lies along University Avenue and 73rd. He stated he understands Minnesota Transfer wants to sell the property, therefore, they have to get the registered land survey recorded and are applying for the replat. Mr. Flora presented a draw�ng showing Tracts A, B and C and stated there would be a bikeway along Universtty Avenue or possibly along the service drive and a � 15 foot easement is requested for Tract A along Untversity and a 15 foot easement along Tract C to provide north/south access for the bikeway. He further stated that an easement is also required along 73rd, as there are future plans to improve the intersect�on at 73rd and Um versity to f�ve lanes and , therefore, 15 foot is needed for the bikeway plus an additional 10 feet for street right-of-way. Councilman Barnette questioned, if 25 feet was taken off this parcel, what it would do to the property. Mr. Flora stated a 30,000 to 40,OOD square foot butldtng could be built within Tract A and still satisfy the setbacks and code requirements for th�s zoning. Counctlwoman Moses questioned if this would be a one-story bu�lding or �f tt would be necessary to go to two stories to obtain this footage. Mr. Flora stated the parcel would accommodate a 30,000-40,OOD square foot one-story building. Counctlwoman Moses also quest�oned �f there would be sufficient space for parking Mr. Flora stated the parking requirements would vary depending on the type of operation at this location. Mr. John Jensen, Chief Engineer for Minnesota Transfer Company, stated he was a b�t confused and knew that, in accordance with Ordinance 633, the C�ty can require three percent of the land or the equivalent in money He stated he has a letter from Mr. Flora ind�cating the option of a land ded�cat�on or cash payment is at the discretion of the City and it was the City's desire to obtain a cash payment. He stated, if you add up the bikeway easements and additional � easement for road widening, it is over the three percent. Mr. ,lensen felt they could go along with the equtvalent of three percent payment in cash, but didn't feel they can accept an add�tional 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 percent of land taktng. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated Mtnnesota Transfer is requesttng a plat and it certainly is not unusual in this community, and in most other communities, when a piece of property ts betng platted, the City has the authority of requiring what they consider to be adequate easements for traffic purposes, which would include both motor and pedistrian traffic. Mr. Herrick stated it would be his positton the Ctty has the authority to requ�re both a dQdtcat�on of easement for•vehicle purposes plus a park dedication and didn't feel one can be subst�tuted fur the other. Mr. Gordon Forbes, 480 Cedar St., St. Paul, representing Minnesota Transfer, stated he wished to re�nforce Mr. Jensen's statements. Mr. Forbes stated Mr Flora indicated a cash payment would be acceptable to wh�ch he would be �n agreement. Mr. Forbes referred to Chapter 566 of the State statute, which was passed by the 1980 Leg�slature, in which they attempted to clarify the kinds of dedications that may 6e required, and suggested a careful reading of this Chapter. He felt the original approach by the City for a cash payment may be the best way to proceed. Mayor Nee stated the Council would not take action on this item this evem ng, but only hold the public hearing and he suggested Mr. Forbes meet with the C�ty � Attorney regarding this matter. Mr. Flora stated at the Planntng Commission meeting the stipulattons for the road and bikeway were discussed. He stated on October 10, he wrote the letter to Minnesota Transfer to �denttfy the additional requirement of the park fee and to make them aware there was this requirement •rt�°� /,UL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF NOVEMBER 10, 1980 PAGE 3 Mr. Jeff Schmidt, representing Ch�cago Northwestern Transportation Company, stated he has reviewed the leg�slation and City ordinance and it seems quite clear the land dedicatton or cash payment is at the option of the City. He stated it was his �nterpretat�on of the ordinance that it requires one or the other, 6ut not both. Mr. Qureshi, C�ty Mana9er, stated the platting ordinance prov�des the City can require ded�cation for road right-of-ways and easements to properly serve the area and felt this requirement and the park dedication were two seperate issues. Councilwoman Moses quest�oned the plans for these properties. Mr. �ensen stated Minnesota Transfer is owned ,7ointly by nine separate railroads and the property would be d�str�buted to two railroads who would offer it for sale for developmental purposes. Mr. Herrick asked if Minnesota Transfer owned property to the East. Mr. Jensen stated Carter-Day owns 16 or 2D acres immediately to the East, however, to the East of Carter-Cay's property, the ratlroad owns additional property. No other persons in the audience spoke regarding this registered land survey. MOTION by Councilman Barnette to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman f4oses.

RECEIVING BIDS FOR UNIVERSITY Y/WALKWAY BRIDGE AND UNIVERSI Mr. Flora, Public Works �irector, stated there are a number of resldents present this eve m ng regarding bikeway/walkway. He stated the proposal was to construct a bikeway, financed by 75% State funding and 25i City funding, irom Mtssiss- ippi Street to 69th Avenue where it would tie in with the future Community Park. Nir. Flora stated there was a meeting with residents on October 20 and they had concerns about the number of people using th�s bikeway and possible vandalism Mr. Flora stated, during the d�scussion, it was suggested additional fencing could be constructed along wtth some landscaping and lighting. If this was done, the increased cost would be about an additional $19,200. � Mr. Quresh�, City Manager, stated the State would not participate in the cost of any fencing or landscaping and these costs would have to be borne 100i by the City. He stated, depend�ng on what alternattve Zs used, the additional costs could vary from $7,OOD to $20,000. Mr Qureshi felt there is some rattonale in providing security for these residents. z�� PUBLIC HEARING MEETIfJG OF NOVEMBER 10, 1980 PAGE 7 Councilman Barnette stated he met with the restdents and the concern of the property owners on 4th Street is the area beh�nd them, which is part of the street r�ght-of-way and not well l�t, and they have had some problems with vandalism. It was their feeling, if there was a bikeway in this area, it would add to the vandaltsm tn back of their properties. He stated one of the thin9s discussed was fencing in order to make a corridor or passageway and prevent persons from getting in their back yards and to possi6ly add some screen�ng. He stated he felt the restdents thought a six foot fence would be adequate. Several restdents of the area expressed their concern about the vandaltsm and no�se and wondered exactly where this bikeway would begin. Mr. Marvin Hora, 6750 4th Street, stated the only way the residents found out about this bikeway was when one of the property owners went back to the area and asked a City employee what was being done. He stated this was the only notice they had and the bids were already out and no one was notified. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated, in th�s case, the City owns all the property they need to build the bikeway on and legally there is no question on the procedure, however, the next question is public relations in working with the neighborhood and how sensitive the City can be for their concerns. Mr. Qureshi stated he would recommend the contract for the bikeway not be awarded at th�s time and staff ineet with the neighborhood. Mr. Flora stated only one bid was rece�ved for the bridge and this bidder, Continental Custom Bridge Company, ts now working with the State to sattsfy the Department of Transportatton's construction requ�rements. Mr. Fiora stated the b�dder has assured the City he can provide the bridge for the original estimate, therefore, he would recommend they award the contract for the bridge, with the stipulation that the Continental Custom Bridge Company satisfy the specificat�ons of the State �epartment of Transportation. MOTION by Councilwoman Moses to receive the bids for the asphalt work for the bikeway/walkway and, upon recommendat�on of the adm�m stratton, re�ect them.

DISCt7SSI0fV REGI�RDING 1931 LEGISLATIyE PR6POSALS APPLICABLE TO �OLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS RELIEF ASSOCIATIONS; Mr. Charles McKusick, President of the Firefighters Relief Assoctation, appeared before the Council regarding a proposal by the League of Minnesota Cii:ies wh�ch questions the exclusive allocation of the 2% fire and sprinkler insurance premium tax to firefighter relief associations. Mr. McKusick stated the problem with the League's proposal is the idea that firefighter relief associattons would lose the use of the 2% fire and sprinkler insurance premium tax He potnted out that Frtdley has a successful plan which has been fully funded 6y the use of this 2i tax, since 1969, and felt it would be in the best interests of the C�ty not to lose this fund�n9 mechanism. He stated, since 1969, taxpayers have not had to fund the volunteer firefighters relief assoctation. Mr. McKsu�ck requested the Council constder passing a resolutton in support of their concerns. He stated the League of Minnesota Ctt�es didn't offer any factual support fo•r their position and he felt, if the proposal was approved, it would create a lot of havoc. Mayor Nee stated he was impressed w�th the prudence 6y which the Firefighters Relief Association is managed in Fridley and felt the Association has been very responsible and there was no reason to change the system MOTION by Councilman Schnetder to adopt Resolut�on No. 114-1980.

He stated the C�ty aga�n received another request, in September 1980 , for extension of the special use perm�t. He stated the basic reason for delay in constructton has been the ' inabil�ty of Mr. Stahlberg to obtain financing. Mr. Flora felt, if this request is to be granted, P�r. Stahlberg would probably need at least 18 months in order to obta�n financing since he has a new �ob, but must be employed continually for a year in order to qualify fior a loan. P4r. Flora mdicated he had no problems with the proposed construction, but felt this should probably be the last extension granted, and if they have another request, the special use permit should aga�n be reviewed. MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to grant an extension of the special use permit, SP #78-10 to Allen Stahlberg until May, 1982. Seconded by Counctlwoman Moses. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor fJee declared the mot�on carried unan�mously. CONSI�ERATION 0� ENTERING INTO COOPEP,ATIVE PURCHASIfdG AGREEMENT WITH ANOKA Mr. Quresh�, City Manager, requested the Council constder entering into a cooperative purchas�ng agreement with Anoka County. Mr. Qureshi pointed out health �nsurance costs would be substantially lower wtth Anoka County, rather than Hennep�n County. However, Blue-Cross/Blue Sh�eld would not 6e available, therefore, some employees who have this coverage may be unhappy. He stated currently there about 29 employees who have this coverage. Councilman Schneider stated he can see the benefit, as far as cost goes, but ' could see an employee's point who had a doctor with Blue-Cross/Blue Shield and d�dn't want to change. He indicated he did have a concern if that option wasn't ava�lable. Mr. Quresh� stated the possibtlities of obtaining fee for service coverage such as Blue-Cross/61ue Sh�eld through Anoka County, haven't really been fully explored and this could be done, however, the coverage may not be available. Mr. Qureshi poii�ted out the City will have to not�fy Anoka County by th�s ldednesday, tf they want to be part of the plan.

Mr. Flora felt enactment of these amendments should be delayed until they have an opportunity to meet w�th the Watershed District, as the 6road approach could esta6l�sh a police type of power. Mr. Herrick, Ctty Attorney, stated he didn't think the Watershed District could take away the authority of the municipality. He stated, if they have a zoning scheme of their own, a developer proba6ly a�ould have to get approval from both the City and the Watershed Distr}ct.
