Rice Creek Park West:
Mr. Ing Siverts, 6850 Siverts Lane, and Cha�rman of Concerned Restdents for
Environmental Quality, (CREQ) appeared before the Council regarding concern
over the impending construction of Rice Creek Park West.
Mr. S�verts submitted a letter to the Council, dated May 4, 1931, which
informed the Council that it is their organization's intention to appear
at the Rice Creek Watershed District Meet�ng on May 13, 1981 to make a
presentation opposin9 construction, as proposed by Anoka county, under the
title "Rice Creek Regtonal Park West".
Mr. Siverts pointed out the reason they are taking this action is because
the Fridley citizens have not been adequately informed of the detailed
proposed plan, the potential environmenta1 impact is significant, the
concern of residents regarding vandalisin, damage to property, and an
inabi1ity to properly monitor illegal activities; the feeling that this
plan will be a detriment to the fragile ecological balance of Rice Creek,
their wish to maintain this unique vulnerable natural resource in it��
present state, and felt the plans, as presented, are directly contradictory
to the guidelines as listed in the "Rules and Regulations of the Rice Creek
Watershed District"
� Mr. Siverts stated he urged Council to support the request to the Watershed
District for a public hearing.
Mr. Siverts also read Section 7-B of City Ordinance No. 555 regarding special
use permits and asked if Anoka County has appl�ed for such a permit.
�
REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 4, 1981 PAGE 3
Mr Siverts stated a petition was c�rculated over the weekend which,
essentially, outlined the reasons they were opposina this pro�ect, and they
have well over 300 signatures and expects the total to go to at least 500.
Mayor Nee stated the Counctl would like a report from staff on the issue
raised regarding Ordinance 555. He stated the City has no vested interest
in this pro�ect and is not taking a position one way or the other.
Councilman Barnette stated he received a number of phone calls and is
sens�tive to the whole issue. He felt the County's position was they are
willing to listen and things can be changed. He pointed out it is the
County's property.
Mr. Siverts pointed out that New Brighton, in considering this issue, had
a very thorough public hearing where written notices were handed out to the
c�tizens in the ent�re City. He stated they have been informed that New
arighton considered thetr segment of the County's Master Plan unacceptable,
as proposed.
Mr. Stverts asked if a report from staff regarding Ordinance No. 555 could
be on the Council's next agenda so they would have thts information before
they appear before the Watershed ��strtct.
Councilman Schneider stated what he heard was the County has indicated a
willingness to meet with t�e people.
Ms. Mary Gilbertson, 6801 Channel Road, a member of the Concerned Residents
for Environmental Quality, asked if the County is exempt form the Department
of fJatural Resources requirement regarding environmental �mpact studies. She
pointed out anyone who has done any work on the creek bank needed a permit,
and asked if the County has to comply with the same ord�nances as the property
owners.
Mr. Herrick, Ctty Attorney, stated, in his opinion, the County would have to
obtain permits for wark in public waters, the same as a private citizen, but
would be happy to look at the various statutes and ordinances, and prefer to
wait until next week to give a defintte answer.
Mayor Nee felt a report could be obtained from the staff by the next Council
meeting.

MOTIDN by Councilman Schneider to receive petition 2-1951. Seconded by
CouncSlman Barnette.
Councilman Schneider stated he understood, when the pet7tion was presented,
the residents were advised there may be some assessment, �f Council proceeded
with their request.
Mr. Bob Prois, 1060 Lynde Drive, who circulated the petition, stated Councilman
� Schnetder was correct and reside��ts were advised there may be some assessment,
but they didn't have a figure to give them.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, all voted aye, and Mayor Nee
declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Nee, at 8:25 p, m., then reopened the public hearing on the establ�shment
of a tax increment dtstrict in the Moore Lake Redevelopment Area.
Mr. Jerry Boardman, City Planner, stated, in the Counci7's booklet, they have
tuao resolut�ons, one is the Nousing and Redevelopment Authority's resolution
and the other is a resolutton they wou1d ask the Council to constder this
evening.
Mr. Boardman stated the HRA cont�nued their public hearin9 on this matter at
a meeting held at 5 3D p. m. He stated the publtc heartng has now been concluded
and a resolution adopted by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority He stated
four findtngs were made by the HRA, as follows• (1) That the pro�ect comprising
Tax Increment Plan #1 shall be set up�as a redevelopment pro�ect as authorized
by Minnesota Statutes, 273.73, Subdivision 10 (a), Paragraphs (2) and (3) in
order to remove blighted and detertorated condittons as determined tn the Moore
Lake Redevelopment Plan based on Chapter 462 of the Laws of the State of
Minnesota; and (2) That the development of land in the Tax Increment Plan #1
would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably
foreseeable future and therefore, the use of Tax Increment Financing is deemed
� necessary, (3) That the Tax Increment Financing Plan nl conforms to a general
plan for the redevelopment of the City of Fridley, and (4) That the Tax Increment
F�nancing Plan wlll afford max�mum opportun�ty, consistent wlth the sound needs
of the C�ty of Fridley as a whole, for the redevelopment of the pro�ect area by
private enterprise.
Mr. 6oardman stated these are the same findings which the Council has to make
and the plan before them does meet the State statutes and will qualify as a
tax increment district.
Mr. Boardman stated, when a tax increment financ�ng district is established,
there is the option of selecting one of three types of pro�ects, a housing
pro�ect, an e�onomic development pro�ect, or a redevelopment pro�ect. He
state,d, for this area, the Council is 1ooking at a redevelopment pro�ect,
wh�ch gives the City the most flexibility, however, it is one of the most
difficult to prove.
Mr. Boardman stated they are looking at the development �n six phases or areas
and pointed these out on a map. He stated potent�al development has been laid
out rn each of these phases and what this did was give a basis to determine
what the proposed tax increment would be.
Councilman Schneider asked, even though some tentative uses for the various
phases have been laid out, if there is anything in the Redevelopment Plan
that requires these be followed.
� Mr. 6oardman stated any time modification is made to the plan that is going
to substanttally change the assessed value, you go through an amendment
process of the plan.
, �i i
REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 4, 1981 PAGE 5
t4r,. Boardman stated they have a market value appraisal done by Mr. Curtis
Larson, Real Estate Appraiser, for Areas 1, 2, and 3 which he would like
Council to accept as part of Exhi6it A.
MOTION by Counc�lman Schneider to receive the market value appraisal for
Tax Increment Ftnance District ;�1, as prepared by Curtis Larson. Seconded
by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee
declared the motion carried unaniinously.
Mr. Boardman commented on the report from the Building Inspector and '
information from the Assessment Department and reviewed the soil borings
wh�ch were taken, and the amounts necessary for corrective action.
Councilman Schnetder stated, since the publtc hearing before the Housing
and Redevelopment Agency was �ust completed earlier this evening, and they,
as yet, don't have any minutes, he asked about public input from this meettng.
Mr. Boardman stated they did have some people, who attended the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority meeting, voice concern about Area 2. He stated the
HRA did request staff to bring back a procedure of notification when there
is a rnodtfication or amendment of the plan.
Mayor Nee asked if there were any comments from the audience regarding this
item of business.
Pirs. Carol Fassett, T001 Lynde Drive, stated she was at the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority meeting and po�nted out t,hat one of the f�ndings
tncluded in the resolution which they adopted was "that the development of
land in the Tax Increment Plan ,'�`rl would not occur solely through private
�nvestment wtthin the reasonably foreseeable future and therefore, the use
of Tax Increment F�nanc�ng is deemed necessary". She felt th�s finding
was not the case in their area as P1r. Erickson, who owns property in the
area, has intentions of developing and it was made clear he was going to
proceed, without the benefi t of tax increment f�nancing. She felt this
area shouldn't be _d°signated tn the tax �ncrement d�strict when you have '
a dev�loper w�lling to proceed and not needing tax �ncrement financing.
Mrs. ,Fassett stated the other issue was a park for their area. She stated
Mr. Boardman made a comment �n one of the committee meetings that if property
ts in a tax tncrement district, tax increment financin� can't be used to
acquire land for parks.
Mrs. Fassett stated they would l�ke to submit their petition for a park to the
Parks and Recreation Commission, as there is some funding available for
acquts�t�on of parks and open space areas in Anoka County, and would like to
pursue this use for the land.
Mrs. Fassett felt if this area is ancluded ir. the tax increment proposal and
it will take iact�on by both the HRA and Counc�l to remove it, their chances
are lost to use the land as a park.
Councilwoman Moses pointed out Mr. Erickson wouldn't develop his land unless
it is economically feasible and one of the things menttoned here is the
traffic pattern whieh is not conducive to development at this time. She
stated, in order for f+1r. Er�ckson ti� develop his property, the traffic pattern
would have to be taken into considerat�on and felt the developer wou7d not
want to pay for all the necessary improvements.
Mrs. Fassett stated the intersection is a problem now, without Mr. Erickson '
putting in any development. She stated with the businesses going in on
Hillwind, the C�ty is going to have to do something, with or without tax
increment financing. She didn't feel their land is the only �riteria that
will be �sed for improvement of the intersection.
I i �
REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 4, 1981
PAGE 6
Mr. Boardman explained if this area is excluded and added later to the plan,
it would be necessary to meet the regulations and requirements in effect at
that t�me.
Mr. Roger �assett stated �t was pointed out that once the land is designated
as tax increment, it takes the HRA and Council to remove it and if the HRA
decides later they don't want it out, their hands are tied.
M;°. Boardman stated any development on that property would require an amendment
� of the plan and �hat has to have City Council approval.
Mrs. Nanr.y Jorgenson, 5730 Polk Street, stated the residents w�ll be meeting
with the Parks and Recreation Corrm�ssion on May 13 and requested Council to
table this unttl after their meeting with the Commission. She asked the
residents of the area be given a chance to try and get a park.
Mr. Boardman stated he can understand the concerns of the ne�ghborhood, but
they are looking at what can be done that will allow the most flexibility
at this point in time. He stated he didn't see th�s as tyin9 their hands and
a lot boils down to the trust they have in their elected officials to make
the right decision.
Councilman Schneider suggested possibly including the area in the tax increment
financing district, however, entering into an agreement with the Housing and
Redevelopment Authortty that they would not try to encourage development for
that land within a certain period of time while the residents have the opportunity
to see if the park pro�pect�,ias real.
Mr. Larry Commers, Chatrman of the liousing and Redevelopment Authority, stated
the Authority is interested in the desires of the residents in that area and
didn't have any intention of going ahead and p���ting forth pro�ects that
would be ob,7ectionahle to the netghborhood.
He explained there would be quite an expenditure to make the land in question
� developable because of the soil conditions and this was the reason the HRA
thought it was better to include the property in the tax increment district
aL this t�me.
He stated the protection that ex�sts is that there cannot be any pro,7ect
proceeding, without it be�ng approved by both the HRA and Council. He
stated, if they cannot agree, the property would remain in its present state.
Mr. Commers stated, as far as Councilman Schneider's po�nt, he d�dn't have
any personal ob�ection, but couldn't speak for the HRA as a whole, to
reaching some kind of reasonable time for a moratorium on that property
before they would ask for 6ids or proposals relative to development.
Mrs. Fassett stated Mr. Erickson has told them he is ready to develop his
land without the help of tax increment financing and if that is not true, and
he is waiting for tax increment financing, then someone has lied to them.
She stated there �s a developer interes�ed rn �his property and it is not the
blighted land that tax increment is to be used for, and, therefore, doesn't
meet the requ�rement for tax increment financing
Councilman Schnetder stated tiecause the land is expensive to develop, the
owner may develop someth�ng that does fit within the zone, but totally
o6,7ectionable to the neighborhood.
� Mrs. Fassett stated they would like to take their chances and if the land is
included in the tax increment district, would like a moratorium that no one
is going to do anything unt�l they find out about the possibil�ty of a park.
� ���7
_ i,�
REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 4, 1981 PAGE 7
Mayor Nee stated they couldn't say no one would develop, because the property
owner has the right to development.
Mrs. Fassett felt there should be an agreement that the Council and HRA do
not offer the owner the advantages of tax increment for an established period
of t7me
Mr. Boardman stated every indication he had from Mr. Erickson was that his
recent proposal for use of the property was on7y a proposal at this point in
t�me and he didn't have a commitment for financ�ng, and that financing would
be based on approval of the rezoning. He pointed out that financing for
apartments is very difficult, if not �mpossible, and had some discussion with
Mr. Erickson on housing bonds to help fi nance this type of pro,7ect.
Mr. Qureshi, City�f1anager, stated he would suggest the Council adopt the
resolution and direct the staff to prepare an agreement to be executed by
the Housing and Redevelopment Author�ty and brought back to the Council.
Ptrs. Fassett wished an opportunity to discuss the possibtlity of a moratorium
with the area res�dents who were present, therefore, a recess was called.
RECESS:
A recess was called by Mayor Nee at 9.45 p. m.
RECONVENED:
Mayor Nee reconvened the meeting at 10:00 p. m. All Council members were
present.
P1rs. Fassett stated she discussed the proposal with the area residents and
they have decided to go along with a moratorim for one year which would be
reasonable and hoped this is spelled out in the agreement accordin9ly.
Mr. Commers stated, personally, he d�dri't think there would be any problem
with th�s moratorium, but should find out from legal counsel if they have
any problems wtth th�s matter.
Mr. Boardman felt there wasn't any great urgency for development on that
property, but wanted it included in the tax increment distr�ct.
Mayor Nee stated the Council would have an agreement prepared and assumed
it would be presented favorably to the HRA.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to close the public hearing on the establishment
of a tax increment d�strict in the Moore Lake Redevelopment Area. Seconded
by Councilwoman Moses. Upon a votce vote, all vot�ng aye, Mayor Nee declared

RE-OPENING OF A PUBLIC HEARING ON REZONING REQUEST
R-3 TO CR-1, 1001 HILLWIN� ROAD. TED BURANDT, dba.
PAGE 8
FROM
MOTION by Counc�lman Barnette to reopen the public hearing on this rezon�ng
request. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, P1ayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously, and the public hearing
opened at 10:10 p. m.
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated the property in questton is located
�ust off Hillwind Road in the area of Polk Street and Lynde Drive. He stated
the request �s to rezone the parcel from R-3 to CR-1.
Mr. Flora stated the Planning Commission recommended approval, with the
stipulation that the existing structure be torn down, and a bui1ding constructed
for commercial purposes and that fencing be installed.
Mr. Burandt, the petitioner, stated his �ntent is to retain and update the
existing structure and the reason for this is the tiight financing. He stated
now that ih�s area has been approved for tax increment financing, it appears
there would be more favorable terms to putting up a new structure. He stated,
if it is o6�ectionable to remodeling the existing structure, perhaps some
type of time limit could be placed on it to allow them to remodel now and use
it and to wa�t for firancing.
Mr. Herrtck, City Atiorney, stated with this property coming under the tax
increment dtstrict and under the jurisdiction of the HRA, they could move to
acquire the property either by purchase or condemnation.
Mr. Quresh�, City Mai�ager, felt there are several questions and one �s if
there is a need for an offi ce building in that area and if that is the proper
use of the land. He stated the house 6ein9 used now for an office, south of
this property� YJdS a model home and that is how the structure got there in
the first place. He felt, if there ts a need for an office building, then
it snuuld be constructed as a commerical building.
Mr. Qureshi stated Mr,. 6urandt could f�x up the structure and rent it as
a restdent�al home if he isn't willing to build a commercial structure at
this time.
Councilwoman Moses ask3dif the property were to remain as R-3, how many units
could be constructed on it. Mr. Qureshi stated the property would accommodate
about ten un�ts.
Councilwoman Piost=s pointed out the Plam m �g Commission determined it would be
better suited for commercial use.
Councilman Sch���ider stated the pattern has been set where there are other
offices tn the area and the land has been rezoned. He stated they do have a
trafftc problem in this area and ten untts would probably create more problems
than an office building.
Councllman Schneider stated �f he was to act ln favor of the rezon�ng it would
be contingent on removal of the existing structure.
Mrs. Fassett stated in Tax Increment Plan 1 it states it is the intent of the
HRA to acquire this property and remove a substandard structure. She stated
Mr. Burandt kr�ows the HRA w�ll buy it from him for $56,000.
Counctlman Schneider stated the HRA would not acquire the land, unless they
have reasonable assurances someone would develop it.

REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 4, 1981 PAGE 9
Mrs. Fassett pointed out that th�s week Mr. Burandt can develop the property
because he is 9o�ng to get help , wh�ch he couldn't do last week. She felt
if Mr. Burandt didn't get the rezoning, the HRA would acquire it and have the
rezoning anyway.
Mrs. Fassett stated she didn't ob�ect to a small office building, but would
questton whether ten uii�ts on the parcel wouldn't add less traffic than an
offi ce buil�ing. She felt the dwell�ng um ts would fi t better into the area
than an office building.
�Rrs, vancy Jorgenson, 5730 Polk Street, stated she felt the ex�sting structure
should be removed and it would be to Mr. Burandt's benef�t to reinove it,
as long as this area is �n a tax increment district.
Mr. 6urandt stated he would like to take the build�ng down, if it is economically
feasible.
Mrs. Karyn Prois, 1060 Lynde Dr�ve, asked that the Council be responsible to
the neighborfiood and take a stand now and not let the structure remain on
the assumption it will be removed.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to close the public hearing on this rezoning
request. Seconded by Councilman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing closed
at 10:40 p. m.
The Council then proceeded to Item 11 on the agenda regarding the communtty
recreation building needs assessment comm�ttee final report.
RECEiVING COMMUNITY RECREATION BUILDING NEEDS ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE FINAL REPORT
Dr. Boudreau, D�rector of Parks and Recreation, introduced Mr. Jack Hansen,
Co-Chairman of the Community Recreation fJeeds Assessment Committee.
Mr. Hansen stated the C�mmittee's report has been presented to the Council
and the Committee voted on February 26, 1981 in favor of constructing a
community recreation butld�ng by a vote of 11 in favor, 1 against, and 1
abstention.
Mr. Hansen stated the Com�n ttee also made the following motions: (1) That
the Parks and Recreation Connmssion recommended to the Council that 6efore
a building is bu�lt, the C�ty Council advise the commun�ty of the results of
the report v�a the Sun Newspaper and other media; (2) That the Parks and
Recreation Commission recommend to the Council that before a butlding is
6uilt, the City Cauncil go to a referendum �iote of the_people; and (3) That
the Parks and Recreation Commtsston recommend to the Counctl that before a
building is built, the City Council discuss with School District 14 any
alternative s�tes or facilities that could be used or developed.
Mr. Hansen stated, in regard to Item 1, there has been an article by Ru�h
Du�nn in the Sun Newspaper and he had one interview wi1:h Barb Hughes on
Cable Television. He further stated, in regard to Item 3, th�s motion came o
about from those on the Comm�ttee who felt school district facilities could
be used. He stated the ma,7ority of the Committee members felt this wasn't
feastble, however, the Council should check into it further for verification.
Mr. Hansen stated the Committee also recommended the building include three
multi-puro��e3ymnasiums, a mult�-purpose auditorium within the structure, and
an indoor, scaled down pool.
Mr. Hansen stated copies of the m�nutes of all the Committee meetings are
attached for the Council's reference. He explained the concensus of opinion
was the build�ng could be built for approximately $4,000,000.

RE'GULAR MEETING DF MAY 4, 1981 PAGE 10
Mr. Hansen stated tt was felt it would be feasible to have a large meeting
area with a kttchenette to handle the senior citizens congregate dining,
but not to include a senior citizens annex per se.
Mr. Hansen stated �f, and when, the Council acts on the building, the Committee
is asking for an opinion referendum, if �t is with the understanding that
available funds would be used to construct the building. Ne further stated,
if the Council dicln� want to build the building out of avialable funds, it
should go to a bond issi:e.
� Mr. Hansen stated the Committee felt the building should stand on �ts own
merits and not become a political issue in the next campaign.
ilr. Hansen stated the �ominittee would like to see a referendum or bond issue
and tf they proceed with the bu�ld�ng, it should be as soon as possible
because of the increase in interest rates and cost of construction.
Mayor Nee thanked P1r. Hansen for his leadership on this Committee, however,
he explained the picture has changed somewhat in the last several months
and the City doesn't know where they will be on financing or what funding
will be received.
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to receive the report from the Community
Recreation Building Needs Assessment Committee. Seconded by Councilman
Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the
motion carried unanimously.
Councilmar, Schneider stated he thought the Comm�ttee did an excellent �ob
and put a lot of hard work into the repurt and appreciated lt.
Mayor Nee stated he had concern on whether this should be proposed this
year or next year. He felt th�s year has 6een a turmoil and the City
doesn't know what aid ti��ty will receive.
� Councilman Barnette stated, he felt, with Jack taking the chairmanship
of the Committee, people responded very well and felt it was time some
comments be made in the Sun Newspaper for these people who give the n°
time for other citizens.
Councilman Barnette stated he g�ves the Co�nmtttee his full support to go
for a referendum vote at some time oLher than the general election. He
stated he goes on record as berng strongly �n favor and doing whatever he
can to make an effort to o6tain support for the recreation building.
Councilwomansloses stated he has previously expressed her concern on the feed-
back rece�ved on the n�ture center and wants to maike sure the residents don't
come back to the Council on thts matter. She sta�ed she was concerned that
the senior citizens stated they didn't get a wing so they wouldn't vote for it.
f�r. Hansen stated the sem or citizens weretalking about a senior citizens annex to
pe used for them only and �t was felt this could possibly create some controversy
in the Ltty. He stated the Committee wanted a community buidling for everyone from
preschool to the sen�or citizens.
Co�nctlwoman h9oses stated-the feedback she is receiving from residents in Melody
Pia��or �s that they wanied an ice arena and ind�cated they wouldi"i't vote for it.
Councilman Barnette felt everyone in government has to be upfront regarding this
facility and the cost to the taxpayer.
Councilman Schneider stated his general feel�ng �s the building is something they
ought to have, but perhaps being more cautious if they can afford to have it.
Gouncilwoman Moses stated she dtdn't have a feel�ng when this issue should be
brouyht to the voters, but fel� the timiny was important and they will need
support for th�building
Councilman Schneider stated his concern is if they bring this to a vote in an
of-�ryear in the suramer,_-they will have a very poor voter turnout and will put
the City in a situation where people will say they didn't know there was a referendum
on �t He stated if this is put on the ballot in Novem6er, however, it becomes
more political.

Councilman Schneider stated, in reviewing sane of the costs and if they go
for a bond issue, �t would be about a$100 a year increase in taxes. He
felt perhaps that is too much esoecially if residents exp¢rience increases
in sales and property taxes.
Mr. Hansen stated the Committee is not pushing the building and all they are
saying is they would like to have it go to a bond issue, and vote by the
people.
Dr. Bourdreau stated he is speaking for the department charged with providing
parks, recreation, and natural resources and their prime interest is allowing
the people to give them direction. He stated the qu2�t2en might not be if they
can afford it now, but should they affort it now. He stated he would support
a referendum vote at the earliest possible time.
Dr. Boudreau stated within the next several months, they will have an
opportunity to meet with many groups throughout the City to explain what
they are desirous of and feels an informed voter can make a decis�on based on
the facts. He didn't feel the building should proceed or fail on the bas�s
if the City is going to receive State aid.
Mrs. Pat Gabel, 5847 2z Street N.E., asked about the increase in taxes for
the building.
Counc�lwornan Moses stated for an $80,000 home, it would be almost $75 a
year tncreu;e in taxes.
i�1r. Hansen stated the Committee used the fi gure of �70,OOD, the cost of an
average home in the City , to fi cure the additional increase•in taxes for the
$4,OOQ,000 cost of the building plus $175,000 for operation and marntenance costs.
Mr. Hanserr stated the Committee's concern is that the Council pick a timetable
when they would go to e�ther an opinion referendum or a bond issue and felt
these should be the concerns and make it aware to the media and publiciae it.
Mayor Nee felt information should be put together on how to proceed and
discuss it further at the May 18 meetin9.
Mr. Tony Lorbeski, 6101 Sunrise Drive, President of the Friendly Fridley Folk,
expressed the senior cit�zens view in regard to the new recreation building.
He felt they should have a drop-in center as part of the building.
Mr. Lorbeski stated the senior citizens need a place to hold their meetings
and thanked the United Methodist Church for donating their space for many
years.
He explained they need a place to hold pdtluck s�ppers, arts and crafts,
dancing, and bingos, as well as space for the congreoate dinnng program.
Mr. Lorbeski stated the sen�or citizens have paid their fair share and
serve on many committees and do much volunteer work.
He requested Council consider their petition for a drop-in center and the
ideal locatiun would be Parkview School. He stated the senior cit�zens
are experienctng an exodus of inembers to other communities that have more
to offer, and unless something is offered in Fridley, they will have a
declining membership.
Councilman Barnette asked if they were requesting space in the new corr¢nunity

BUMPER 60AT OPERATION ON A 98 FOOT BY 125 FDOT
CENTER. 5255 CENTRAL AVENUE. ROBERT FRIE�LY:
P#�1-03, TO ALLOW A
TE, SKYWOOD SHOPPIN
�!r. Flora, Public Works Director, stated the property �n question is on Highway
65 in the skywood Mall. He explained there is an existing miniature golf course
on the sit and th�s request for a special use permit ts for a seasonal type of
operation consisting of a large area of water and inner tube boats.
REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 4, 1981 PAGE 13
Mr. Flora stated the stafr's concern was the noise factor and the appearance
of the structure. He stated the petitioner stated he would be willing to do
any type of landscaping necessary to make sure of a good appearance.
Mr. Flora stated, as far as the noise, it is 58 decibels one metEr away and
ten meters away, it is less than 40 decibels, and 150 feet away, you can
hear the noise�of the part�cipants. He stated the hours of operation would
be from 12 noon to 11:00 p. m, or 12:00 midnight. Mr. Flora stated the pool
�s 30 �nches deep and approximately 84 feet wide by 125 feet long. He stated
this operation would be simtlar to the one in Coon Rapids.
Mr. Flora pointed out that Mr. Galush of Twin City Federal had several
concerns regard�ng traffi c danger to children, parking, the detraction from
appearance from the highway, the question of restroom facilities, and the
noise factor. He felt tt would be diffi cult to speak into a microphone in
the bank's drive-�n lane with the noise factor of 50 decibels next door.
Mr. Flora stated the Planning Commission recommended denial of the special
use permit because they felt the ex�sting noise levels in the area were
extensive, the traffic situation and potential problems with parkin9, and
safety of the young people using the area.
f�r. Friedly appeared before the Council regarding his request for this
special use permit. He felt the concerns expressed relative to noise,
safety, and parking could be checked with the operation in Coon Rapids.
He further explained the engines are water cooled and this reduces the noise
substantially.
Councilwoman Moses asked if he suggested to the Planning Commission they
review the operation in Coon Rapids. Mr. Friedly stated he didn't know he
had the opt�on at that time.
Mrs. Judy Engebretson, 5216 Taylor Street, stated the contour of the land
is probably dtfferent in Coon Rapids operation and explained the noise hits
the hill and bounces up and on a clear summer night, she can hear noises
from the golf course. She questioned how they could poss�bl�� estimate the
noise created by patrons of this,operation. She felt that 52nd and Central
is already heavily traveled and this business might create some distract�on
for motorists on Highway 65.
Nlrs. Engebretson also questioned what would happen when this operation closes,
and was concerned kids may climb the fence to cool off. She stated her ma�n
concern is adding additional noise to the area. She didn't feel it would
upgrade the shopping center and indicated the neigh6ors don't ob�ect to
someth�ng that is enclosed indoors.
Mrs. Engebretson stated the neighborhood hoped the �ouncil will concur with
the Planning Commission and deny the req�est for a special use permit.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to concur with the recommendation of the
Planning Commission and deny reecial use permit SP k81-03 because of the
already existing noise levels, the traffic s�tuation and pote���ial problems
with parking, and the safety of the young people who would use the area
relative to the traffic using Twin City Federal's drive-in window. Seconded
by Councilwoman Moses. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carr�ed unanimously.

P1r. Flora, Public Works Director, stated this property is located �ust west
of East River Road at Osborne and Osborne Way intersection. He stated there
currently is single fam�ly housing located around the parcel.
Mr. Flora stated the spec�al use permit ts requested to allow construction of
a duplex in an R-1 Zone, with the outside appearance resembl�ng a single
family home. He stated the Planning Commission recommended approval of thns
request with the stipulations that the developer prove that there are 10,000
square feet available on the lot; that the utility, drainage, and bikeway
easements are preserved; and that a third garage is provided.
Mr. Les Watknns, 40 Osborne Way, indicated he had no ob,7ectlons to this special
use permit
Councilman Fitzpatrick asked if the person who raised an o6,7ection at the
Planning Commission meet�ng was present, 6ut there was no respanse from the
audiencP.
Mr. Quresh�, City Manager, stated there have been numerous discussions by_ihe
� Council in allowing a double bungalow in R-1 zoning, with a special use permit.
He stated, in the past, the Council has not allowed this type of approach and
if they w�sh to approve this request, th�s will be sett�ng a precedent.
The petitioner stated financing on this particular lot has been turned down
consistently for single family homes and the reason was because of nox�ous
odors and high noise levels.
Councilman Schenider stated he has a problem with special use permtts in an
R-1 zone and perhaps this should be a rezoning request. He felt Mr. Qureshi's
point of setting a precedent is valid and, w�thout a specif�c rezoning to R-2,
finds it difficult to support.
M1�. Herrick, City Attorney, stated his concern is that the spec�al use
provision is in the ordinance and precedent set when the previous Council
adopted the ordinance. He felt if it is in the ordinance, then it is
�ncumbent on the Council to approve it, unless there are pertinent reasons
for denying it. He stated he is not comfiortable with denying it simply
because the Council doesn't like the ordinance.
Counci1woman Moses felt because of the difficulty in developing this parcel
as s�ngle fam�ly and financing can't be obtained, she felt it should be
approved.
Counctlman Fitzpatrick stated he thtnks this �s a long standing situation
� and felt the Council had been quite consistent in recommending a9ainst such
special use permits rn�asolid R-1 area.
