ST. 1989-2. ADDENDUM NO. 1(COMMERCE LANE - 73RD AVENUE TO OSBORNE ROAD L MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at 7:51 p.m. Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated Commerce Lane from 73rd Avenue to Osborne Road will require major reconstruction. He stated this street serves an industrial area which generates a considerable amount of heavy truck traffic. Mr. Flora stated due to this traffic and poor soil conditions under the roadway, the street requires extensive maintenance just to keep it in a minimal service condition. He stated Commerce Lane was originally constructed in 1966 at a cost of $29,365.58 and assessed at a rate of $7.46 per foot. Mr. Flora stated soil borings were taken and it was found that the water table was about three feet below the surface with large � pockets of silty sand. He stated it is proposed to increase the width of the street from 39 to 44 feet, install cottcrete curb and gutter, storm sewer improvements, and increase the strength from FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 13, 1989 PAGE 3 ' a 9 ton to an 11 ton design. Mr. Flora stated letters were sent in November to the businesses located on this street informing them of the plan for this improvement and requesting their input. He stated the estimated cost for the storm sewer improvement is $56,DD0 and $397,000 for the roadway improvement. He stated the Council has approved the concept of sharing in the cost of this improvement by paying one- third of the cost and the other two-thirds assessed against the abutting properties. Mayor Nee clarified that these costs are only estimates and would not be firm until after the project is bid. Mr. Flora stated if this project is approved, it is hoped it can be done this sprinq and the street would not be closed to any truck traffic during the construction period. Ms. Podany, owner of Allied Aluminum, asked why sidewalks would be included in this project. Mr. Flora stated the form used to notify owners of improvements does include reference to sidewalks. He stated this is a standard � form, however, this project would not include any sidewalks. He stated the improvement is only for the roadway and storm sewer. Ms. Podany verified that two-thirds of the cost would be paid by the City and asked how the assessment to the property owner was to be paid. Ms. Podany was advised the assessment was spread over a ten year period. Mr. Jim Naughton, representing Larsen Manufacturing, asked who would benefit by the storm sewer improvement. Mr. Flora stated the storm sewer improvement would be done so property in the northwest quadrant of Osborne Road and Main Street can be developed in the future. He stated this is a separate cost from the cost for the street improvement. Mr. Naughton asked if the street would be accessible to truck traf£ic during the construction period as he stated they have semi- trucks delivering steel and they cannot drive on sand. Mr. Flora stated one side of the street would be open to traffic. Mr. Naughton asked how long the project would take before completion. Mr. Flora stated it should not be longer than a month. Mr. Naughton asked at what rate of interest they would be assessed � for this improvement. Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated the interest rates have been between 8-3/4 to 9%. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 13, 1989 PAGE 4 � Mr. Gary Benson, Tax Specialist representinq Pillsbury, stated their opposition to the street improvement. He stated they have a concern about ingress and egress to their property during this improvement period. He stated they are not in a position to stockpile materials and they need to be able to receive deliveries and ship the finished product. Mr. Benson stated it seems the storm sewer improvement is needed under Osborne Road and there was concern they would be paying for some future development and not receiving any benefit. He felt, however, Mr. Flora had clarified the storm sewer would be a separate cost from the street improvement. Mr. Benson stated in the original notice, there was mention of sidewalks and they felt this would be a nuisance. He stated, however, this item has been cleared and they understand there would be no sidewalks included in the project. Mr. John Gariano, Plant Manager for Pillsbury, stated he supports the fact that they need to keep the plant open as it would cost them about $25,000 a day, if it had to shut down. He stated he wished to stress they needed to keep the access open. � Mr. Benson stated Pillsbury understands the need for the improvement, but is concerned as to the financial burden and hoped the estimates have been high. He stated profits are very small in the pizza business and if they have to shut the plant, it would be a hardship. He felt they need some guarantee the access would remain open at all times during construction and would be happy to work with the City in any way. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated the major reason for rebuilding this street is that it cannot accommodate all the heavy traffic. She stated the road is deteriorating and the reconstruction will be less costly than trying to make improvements every spring. Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Senson if the City keeps one-half of the road open during construction, if it alleviates their problem with this project. Mr. Benson stated that is part of the concern, but from the financial standpoint, he felt their truck traf£ic comes basically from the south part of Commerce Lane, where there is not silty sand, and they are not having that much of a problem with this portion of the road, Ae stated they are looking at the financial burden and questioned if it is prudent to proceed with the project at this time. He stated if the improvement solves the problem it is fine, but did not want to have to go through the same thing in � another ten years. Mayor Nee stated where this type of improvement has been done in FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 13, 1989 PAGE 5 � the past, it has worked. No other persons in the audience spoke regarding this proposed improvement. MOTION by Councilman Billings to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing closed at 8:18 p.m. 2. PUBLIC HEARING ON YARD WASTE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT: MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at 8:18 p.m. Ms. Lisa Campbell, Planning Assistant, stated this hearing is in regard to a proposed yard waste ordinance which would require seasonal curbside collection of yard waste for eight weeks during the spring and eight weeks during the fall. She stated there is also a friendly amendment which would require continuous pick-up � throughout the yard waste season. Ms. Campbell stated in 1988, the Minnesota Legislature amended the Waste Management Act of 1980 to prohibit dumping of yard waste at landfills in the State. She stated in response to this mandate, which goes into effect in 1990, many cities have amended their licensing requirements to include seasonal pick-up of yard waste. Councilman Schneider asked if staff knew what action other cities were planning. Ms. Campbell stated Ramsey has a pilot project for wood and brush and anticipates having organized collection in 1990 which would include curbside yard waste collection in the licensing contracts. She stated Coon Rapids is just beginning their recycling program. Councilman Schneider questioned the need for the ordinance. He stated he is not sure what would be accomplished by adopting the ordinance. He felt whether or not they adopt the ordinance, the matter of yard waste would have to be handled by refuse haulers in 1990. Ms. Campbell stated this would be the Council's decision if they desire to adopt the ordinance. She stated if the ordinance is adop�ed, it would give refuse haulers time to implement programs � before the 1990 ban and for the City to educate residents of the legal and appropriate ways to disperse of yard waste. Mayor Nee stated it would place the same burden on all refuse � FRIDLEY CITY CQUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 13. 1984 PAGE 6 haulers and provide uniformity. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if the City was being required by any other agency to pass such an ordinance. Ms. Campbell stated Anoka County has indicated that the cities within the County are responsible for ourbside collection of recyclables and yard waste. Mr. Henderson, Blaine Waste Management, stated he has been very supportive of composting of yard waste. He stated at a meeting of the County Yard Waste Subcommittee on February 7, it was not clear if haulers would be able to take these materials to the facility at Bunker Hills. He stated there was discussion regarding a fee for deposit of the materials and the possibility materials cannot be brought in that are not de-bagged. He stated if haulers cannot dispose of materials that are not de-bagged, it would be very difficult. He stated suggestions were made to the Subcommittee which included the use of a standardized container. He stated the Yard Waste Subcommittee was to study the matter further. Mr. Henderson stated the refuse haulers were in support of this ' proposed ordinance until this meeting of the Yard Waste Subcommittee and a lot of the haulers were in fear of the whole program. He stated if there is not a facility where they can haul this yard waste, they could not comply with the ordinance. He felt the adoption of the ordinance may be a little premature. � Councilwoman Jorgenson questioned if a fee was charged for dumping the yard waste if this was the problem. She stated the fee they now pay at the landfill is more than what they probably would be charged to deposit the yard waste. Mr. Henderson stated the real issue is if they would be required to de-bag the materials. Mayor Nee asked Mr. Henderson his feelings regarding collection from April to Novembar, rather than just spring and fall. Mr. Henderson stated it would not be very economical to collect from April to November. Mr. Saba, Henderson's to collect deposit it. Larry's Sanitation, stated he would agree with Mr. comments. He stated at this time it is not feasible yard waste unless there is a facility where you can Councilman 5chneider asked if the City did not have an ordinance, if the haulers would provide the service to pick-up yard waste. Both Mr. Saba and Mr. Henderson stated he would provide this FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 13. 1989 PAGE 7 � service. Mr. Saba stated it would be good to use a biodegradable bag for the yard waste. He felt after 1990, residents will be paying higher fees for refuse service. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated it will be cheaper for haulers to deposit this yard waste at a compost site rather than a landfill. Mr. Saba stated costs would probably start out lower, but they would increase in time. He felt the State is passing legislation, without having a solution to the problem. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated the big issue is to get everyone involved in recycling and reduce the amount of dumping at the landfills. She questioned if haulers would be giving a discount to thase who do not have as much garbage. Mr. Saba stated it would probably depend on the hauler. He felt customers should pay for the amount of garbage they generate and if they only have one can per week, they should pay accordingly. Mr. Plessel, Pretzel Sanitation, felt haulers should be collecting � yard waste. He stated as far as cost, another truck and person would be needed and these increased costs would have to be passed on to the consumer. He stated he would agree that if you recycle and have less garbage, your fee should be less. Mr. Plessel stated he would begin collecting yard waste in April and continue into November. He stated he hoped a solution can be reached whether or not the yard waste has to be de-bagged, Mr. Plessel stated he did not know if adopting this ordinance would be beneficial, but it would let residents know what can and cannot be done. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if anyone knew the cost for biodegradable baqs. Mr. Saba stated he thought they were about 30 cents per bag. Ms. Campbell suggested the Council postpone action on this ordinance until the County resolves their problems. No other persons in the audience spoke regarding this proposed ordinance. Mayor Nee thanked the refuse haulers for their input and stated he appreciated their assistance to the City. ' MOTION by Councilman Schneider to close the public hearing.

She stated the Planning Commission oonsidered the rezoning application and recommended approval. Ms. Dacy stated the lot and structure requirements in the R-3 district are more restrictive than the setbacks in the R-2. She stated the required setbacks maintain a 35 foot yard area along 5th Street and a 15 foot yard area adjacent to the existing duplexes to the north. Ms. Dacy stated this housing project will consist of 70 units, 50 one bedroom units and 20 two bedroom units. She stated common areas will be provided, including laundry rooms, storage closets, lobby, a dining/multi-purpose room, and a workshop and lounge. Ms. Dacy stated the building is H-shaped and exterior materials are masonry, rock face block, aluminum and stucco. She stated adequate parking has been provided. Ms. Dacy stated the petitioner, Community Development Corporation, � wanted to finalize their plans and apply to the HRA for funding. She stated it was necessary to obtain an easement from the church which would guarantee there would not be any buildings within the easement in order to meet the R-3 district requirements. Ms. Dorie Meade, Housing Resources Corporation, stated they are providing technical services to the Community Development Corporation for the Archdiocese of Minneapolis and St. Paul. She introduced Mr. Steve Ludovissie, Director of Housing and Management for Community Development Corporation, the management arm for the Archdiocese, and Mr. John Culligan, Architect from Boarman and Associates. Ms. Meade stated the need for this project was first identified by St. William's Church which established an elderly housing task £orce. She stated St. William's agreed to make the site availabla and an independent market study was conducted to determine the need for the project. Ms. Meade stated Community Development Corporation agrees with the market study and feels this is an excellent site for senior housing. She stated the name Norwood Square was selected as this housing will be located in the City's Norwood Addition. Ms. Meade stated Norwood Square will have a full-time manager on site and a personal security system included in each apartment. � She stated pull cords will be located in each bath and bedroom for residents to call for emergency help. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 13. 1989 PAGE 10 � Ms. Meade stated Community Development Corporation plans to take all the necessary steps to meet the range for rents recommended in the independent market study. She stated, hopefully, rents will start at $500 per month for a one bedroom unit and between $750 to $800 per month for a two bedroom unit. Mr. Ludovissie stated Community Development Corporation was established in 1974 and is a non-profit organization created for the purpose of serving needs of low and moderate income families. He stated they concentrate on the needs of residents in all the buildings they manage. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked the size of the apartments. Mr. Culligan, Boarman and Associates, stated the one bedroom units will be about 608 square feet, but could vary up to 650 square feet. He stated the building is three-stories, wood construction, with underground parking. He stated the driveway entrance is on the east to a aentral drop-off area which is handicapped accessible to the main lobby. Mr. Culligan stated in addition to the H-shape of the building, there is a hip roof to scale it down and minimize the height fronting on the street. He stated three different types of material will be used for the exterior including rock-faced � block, aluminum siding, and stucco. Mr. Culligan stated they have worked with the City staff to develop a landscaping plan that will enhance the building and character of the neighborhood. Fie stated Norway Maples will be planted along 5th Street and crab trees planted around the parking lot. He stated there would be a four foot hedge between the parking lot and street. He stated eight foot evergreens would be planted to the north along the entire property line. Mr. Culligan stated they are proud of the project they riave developed and hoped the citizens of Fridley will also be proud of it. Some questions from the audience included the size of the bedrooms, type of heating, laundry facilities, entrances, and rents. Mr. Culligan stated the bedrooms are about 12 feet wide by 15 feet long. He stated the entire unit is about 24 feet wide. He stated the heating is hot water baseboard and individual window units will be provided for air conditioning. He stated there are laundry facilities on each floor and one main entrance, but exits on each wing for fire purposes. He stated the square footage for the two bedroom unit is between 800 to 1,000 and rents would be from $750 to $80o per month. � Ms. Meade stated rents have not been firmly established because the financing has not yet been arranged. She stated, hopefully, they will be between $5D0 to $800 per month depending on the unit. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 13, 1989 PAGE 11 � Councilwoman Jorgenson stated underqround parking would not be available for all residents and asked how it would be determined who would receive these parking spaces. Mr. Ludovissie stated a lot of time senior citizens do not drive and do not have vehicles. Ae stated probably only 50 to 60 percent would have vehicles and the majority of tenants could be served with underground parking. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if there would be an additional charge for underground parking. Ms. Meade stated there would be a charge and the rate is about $40 per month. Mr. Ron Nienaber, 6251 5th Street, stated he is appalled with the building materials proposed for this project. He stated what is proposed is an industrial building material and aluminum is cheap. He stated it appears they are building as cheaply as possible, but the rents are high. He also stated central air conditioning is more energy efficient. He stated the units would still have their individual controls as they do with the heating. � Mr. Nienaber stated he is not necessary opposed to senior housing across the street from his residence, but would like to have a nicer building. Ms. Dacy stated the HRA would address this issue of exterior materials if they apply for financial assistance. Mr. Nienaber stated if this property is rezoned, technically, any apartment building could be constructed and not necessarily senior housing. Ms. Dacy stated the procedure is established so that action would be taken on the lot split and special use permit requests before the final reading of the ordinance for this rezoning. She stated restrictive covenants would be filed with the special use permit that the ]auilding would be used only for senior housing. Mr. Maertens, 144 Rivers Edge Way, stated he is the owner of a duplex immediately to the north of this property. He stated he is opposed to the exterior materials to be used as he felt they did not belong in a residential neighborhood. Ms. Meade stated there seems to be a misunderstanding as far as the aluminum siding. She stated it is very unusual for residential dwellings to be constructed with wood siding because of the � constant maintenance. She felt the building would be very attractive and a combination of materials will make it appear more residential in nature. ' � FRI➢LEY CITY C�UNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 13, 1989 PAGE 12 Councilman Schneider stated Fridley has a tradition of requiring brick or brick surfaces on buildings. Ms. Meade stated it is something they could consider, but felt brick would make it look more institutional. A gentleman in the audience commented that this was the nicest looking apartment building he has seen proposed for Fridley. No other persons in the audience spoke regarding this proposed rezoning request. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson.

WILLIAM'S CHURCH: Mayor Nee stated the question of the exterior materials to be used on this building was discussed in conjunction with the rezoning. He felt the stipulations for the type of exterior construction would probably be part of this special use permit. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, felt it would be premature to take action on the special use permit this evening if there is not agreement on the exterior materials.

Ms. Dacy stated the Planning Commission recommended approval of the lot split with three conditions which she outlined. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, asked if the easement is for open space or can it be used for parking. Ms. Dacy stated building construction would be prohibited in this easement, but the petitioner needs to submit a storm water management plan and it may be necessary to create a pond within the easement area. Mr. Herrick stated there should probably be a broader explanation as to the use of the easement and if certain recreational activities would be allowed. Ms. Mead stated in the easement area, there is some parking and St. William's is going through some changes at the church and trying to maintain some flexibility for themselves. She stated their intent was no structures of any sort would be constructed in this area, but did not know if it would be available for recreational uses.
