Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at 7:45 p.m. Ms. Dacy, Planning Coordinator, stated this parcel is located south of 73rd Avenue and east of the University Avenue service road. She stated the request is to subdivide the property into two lots, as the lender £or the construction £inancing would not autharize a loan for the entire parcel, only the area necessary for the first phase. Ms. Dacy stated this dictated a separate legal description to be created. She stated in this first phase, the petitioners are proposing to construct a one-story office/warehouse building.

The revised site plan shall be reviewed and approved by staff prior to issuance of a building permit; and the fifth stipulation was added by the Planning Commission (5) Any change or modification to the property line as proposed shall be resolved with staff prior to review by the City Council. Ms. Dacy stated after meetinq with the City Attorney and Building Inspector, it was determined that the last stipulation meets the Zoning ordinance requirements in regard to the proposed location of the building.

RESOLUTION NO. 11-1990 PROVIDING FOR THE PUBLIC SALE OF APPROXIMATELY 59,A45,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION TAX INCREMENT REFUNDING BONDS OF 1990: � Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated the City of Fridley, like many other Minnesota cities, is being impacted by recent tax increment financing amendments. He stated the law limits use of tax � CJ � FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FESRUARY 12, 1990 PAGE 4 increment finanaing generated by pre-1979 districts, unless tax increment is needed to retire bonds that have been sold prior to 1990. Mr. Burns stated the City's Southwest Quadrant project is a pre-1979 district and several redevelopment proposals have been considered, but, to date, the City has not successfully accomplished the redevelopment objectives. He stated in order to comply with the law, it is necessary to refinance the debt on existing tax increment bonds. He stated this refinancing will allow the City additional tax increment to support projects through the year 2009. Mr. Burns stated if the City does not proceed with the refinancing, tax increment financing cannot be used on any pre- 1979 parcels beyond the year 2000 (the current maturation date of the bonds). Mr. Burns stated over the last several weeks, staff has been reviewing the need for tax increment projects, refinancing alternatives, and current cash flows in these districts. He stated at a recent Housing & Redevelopment Authority meeting, Mr. Casserly outlined various refinancing alternatives. He stated the recommendation was to refinance all the remaining debt, as opposed to part of the debt, and that this be done in a manner to defer principal payments beyond the year 2000. He stated by refinancing the total remaining debt, it is believed $6,733,683 in savings can be generated through reduced principal and interest payments and this amount can be applied to new projects anywhere in the tax increment districts. He stated beyond the year 2000 and to the year 2009, $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 per year in new tax increment revenue can be justified from any pre-1979 district or about $13,000,000 for the ten year period. He stated all of this revenue could be used to support projects that will add considerably to the economic viability of the center city. Mr. Burns stated if the Council adopts this proposal, all necessary steps to refinance the bond issue should be completed by the end of March. He stated the Council would receive and consider bids at a special meeting on March 7, 1990. Mr. Burns introduced the City's financial agent, Mr. Jim Casserly and the City's bond aounsel, Mr. Jim O'Meara. He stated both Mr. Casserly and Mr. O'Meara are here to respond to any questions from the Council. Councilman Billings stated it is his understanding that the City is anticipating a lower interest rate on the bonds to be sold and that repayment of the debt will be over a greater period of time than on the bonds that now exist. Councilman Billings stated he relates it to this hypothetical situation that if he had a payment of $900 at 11 percent interest for 15 years and refinances the same amount of principal at 9 036 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 12, 1990 PAGE 5 � percent interest over a longer period of time, it reduces his payment. He stated if he then takes this amount saved by reduction in his payment and sets it aside, there will be enough in savings at a certain point in time to pay off the loan early. Councilman Billings stated he undersltands the current bonds will be paid off in the year 2000 and the amount the City would pay each year, under the refinancing program, is less than what is now being paid and, if the difference between the two payments is set aside, the City could, conceivably, have the funds to pay off the bonds in the year 2000, iP they chose to do so. Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated this is also his understanding of the refinancing proposal. He stated from all the numbers he has seen, this is correct and it doesn't appear there is any disadvantage to refinancing. Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Pribyl if he was comfortable with the numbers presented by Mr. Casserly and Mr. O'Meara. Mr. Pribyl stated he reviewed the debt schedules and is confident they are prepared accurately. He stated there is sufficient future cash flow to service the debt. � Councilman Schneider stated he understands if nothinq further develops in the tax increment districts, there is suffioient revenue to service the debt through the year 2009, if the City chooses not to redeem the bonds. MOTION by Councilman Billings to adopt Resolution No. 11-1990. Seaonded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. 7. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE RECODIFYING THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE BY AMENDING APPENDIX F TO PROVIDE FOR THE ADJUSTMENT OF SALARIES FOR THE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2.07 OF THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY: Mayor Nee stated this ordinance would provide for about a 4 percent increase in City Council salaries. He stated the yearly salary for Mayor would be $8,400; $6,90D for Councilmember-at-Large; and $6,10o for the Ward Councilmembers. MoTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to waive the reading and approve the ordinance upon first reading. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorqenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. � ��r FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 12, 1990 PAGE 6 ' 8. AUTHORIZE CONTRACT FOR A RECYCLING SURVEY: Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated during budget discussions, there was a meeting with several members of the Environmental Quality Commission to discuss recycling. Iie stated from that meeting, it was suggested the City consider a citizens survey and ask residents what they wanted to do with recycling. He stated it is requested the Council authorize the execution of a contract with C. J. Olson for a recycling survey. Mr. Burns stated the purpose of the survey is to quantify residents' attitudes towards major recycling alternatives, current recycling habits, and residents' satisfaction with the current recycling program. He stated several approaches are being considered, but residents will not be asked directly what they think of the options. He stated questions will be developed that measure attitudes towards the different approaches. Mr. Burns stated the consultant would pre-test the survey and will cross-tabulate the data and submit a written report. He stated the survey would be completed in 28 days at a cost not to exceed $13,468. He stated the project can easily be funded from the City's SCORE monies received through the County. ' Councilwoman Sorgenson stated she understands that SCORE funds can only be spent a certain number of ways and that this survey would qualify for this funding. Mr. Burns stated it is true that SCORE funds can only be used for certain items, but there is reference to "promotions" and he felt this survey would qualify under this category. Councilwoman Jorqenson asked if the SCORE funds could be used for recyclinq. Mr. Burns stated some of the SCORE funds could be used to defray costs for hauling. He stated about $126,000 will be available from this source of funding and it is expected about $112,000 would be used. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to authorize entering into a contract with C. J. Olson Market Research to design ancY conduct a recycling survey for the City in an amount not to exceed $13,468. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. ' 03�3 039 1 FRIDLEY CITY COONCIL MEETING OF FESRUARY 12. 1990 PAGE 7 9.

Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.

RECEIVE AN ITEM FROM THE APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 1990' A-1. CONSIDERATION OF A VARIANCE. VAR #90-01, TO INCREASE THE MAXIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE OF A FREE-STANDING SIGN � FROM 80 SOUARE FEET TO 177.25 SQUARE FEET, ON LOT 1, BL�CK 1: LOT 1. BLOCK 2. GREAT NORTHERN INDUSTRIAL CENTER EAST. THE SAME BEING 5350 INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD N.E. {MINIKAHDA MINI STORAGE), BY LEROY SIGNS: Ms. Dacy, Planning Coordinator, stated this property is located south of I-694 and is bordered on the east by the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks. 5he stated the petitioner is requesting a variance for a 4 by 8 foot directional sign to add to the existing sign. She stated in 1985, a variance was qranted to increase the size of the sign from 80 to 133 square feet. Ms. Dacy stated the Appeals Commission has recommended this variance be denied as it does not meet the criteria of the Sign Ordinance. She stated the Commission felt to grant the variance would be contrary to the intent of the ordinance and that the square footage of the existing sign was adequate. She stated the existing sign could be redesigned to incorporate the directional sign. Mr. Dave Inman, representing the owners of Minikahda Mini-Storage, stated the size of the sign they are considering is 2 by 18 feet or 36 square feet. Ms. Dacy questioned if this sign is different than the one ' submitted at the Appeals Commission. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING QF FEBRUARY 12 1990 PAGE 8 ' Mr. Inman stated the drawing was incorrect and the size of the sign is 2 by 18 feet. He stated he understands one of the items they have to prove is that there is an exceptional, or not an ordinary, circumstance that applies to the property. Mr. Inman stated their sign happens to be the smallest one in that area in comparison with other retail facilities. He stated Wickes and Plywood Minnesota both have larger signs. Mr. Inman stated to redesign the existing sign would be difficult and costly in order to have any visibility at all. He stated when a variance was received in 1985, the original plan also called for a wall sign that would be about 120 square feet and this was never done. Councilman Fitzpatrick stated as far as the Plywood Minnesota sign, this was existing prior to adoption of the Sign ordinance. He stated a variance has already been granted to the petitioner to increase the size of the sign to 133 square feet. MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to deny this variance request, VAR #90-01 based on the findings recommended by the Appeals Commission. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Mr. Inman stated they are trying to attract persons driving on I-694. He stated they were recently successful in a tax protest � and the fact was brought up that the property has been in operation for four years and after the first eight months of operation, the occupancy was at 50 percent and has not increased beyond this point. Mayor Nee stated the problem is that this is not grounds to grant the variance. Councilman Billings stated the Plywood Minnesota Sign was grandfathered in and if the Council had the ability to decrease the sign, it would be no larger than the Minikahda sign. Councilman Schneider stated when the petitioner chose to build on that site, they were aware of the code requirements for signs. Mr. Znman stated the reason for applying for the variance is to try and obtain more business so they can start paying the taxes again. Councilman Fitzpatrick stated almost every business owner in town could make such a case and did not feel this was an exception. UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, all voted aye, and Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. , 040 , ' ' FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 12, 1990 PAGE 9 11.

TO SPLIT OFF THE SOUTH 122 FEET OF LOT 4, AUDITOR'S SUBDIVISION NO. 22. TO CREATE A SEPARATE PARCEL FOR A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE. GENERALLY LOCATED AT 1501 RICE CREEK ROAD N.E.c Ms. Dacy, Planning Coordinator, stated this property abuts Rice Creek Road on the south and Camelot Lane on the north. She stated the petitioner is proposing to subdivide this lot in approximately equal halves with an east/west lot line. Ms. Dacy stated the Planning Commission recommended approval subject to four stipulations which she outlined. Councilman Schneider stated he noted the property is for sale and asked if potential buyers are informed of the lot split. Mr. Nyberg, the petitioner, stated there are stakes there in the ground. Councilman Schneider asked if the drainage would be a problem if the property is filled. Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated one of the stipulations is that a grading and drainage plan be submitted for approval prior to issuance of the building permit. He felt that the drainage would not be a problem as Harris Pond has a pipe that drsins into an open ditch to Highway 65 and eventually to Rice Creek. Councilman Schneider stated at some point in time, someone will probably have to pay for a storm sewer system on that back lot. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to adopt Resolution No. 12-1990, with the following stipulations attached as Exhibit A: (1) The certificate of survey shall indicate a suitable building elevation for connection to the City sewer. The elevation shall be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Department prior to issuance of a building permit; (2) A grading and drainage plan shall be submitted with the building permit application for approval by the Public Works Department prior to issuance of a building permit; (3) The driveway location must be approved by the Public Works Department prior to issuance of a building permit; and (4) The petitioner shall execute appropriate utility easements as requested by the City or by the Cable Television company. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. U41 042 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 12. 1990 PAGE YO � Councilman Billings stated the depth of the lots to the east are 13o feet and asked why this lot was only 122 feet. Mr. Nyberg stated this lot is much wider than the ones to the east, even if it is not as deep. He stated he did not want it any deeper because of trees that are located in the back and wanted to make sure they were on his lot. Councilman Billings stated one of the stipulations was for the petitioner to obtain an easement for cable television and wondered why this had not been done since there has been sufficient time since this item was before the Planning Commission. Ms. Dacy stated staff felt this was the petitioner's responsibility to contact the cable television company. Councilman Schneider asked if other easements, other than cable television, would be required. Ms. Dacy stated they would not. UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, all voted aye, and Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. 13. RESOLUTION NO. 13-1990 ESTABLISHING A WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAM FOR THE SUMMER OF 1990: � Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated with the recent two year drought and the apparent extension into this year, as well as the placement of two of the City's major producing wells into an emergency standby position, it appears that the summer water demands may not be satisfied. He stated lawn sprinkling is a major summer demand that severely impacts the City's water production, therefore, it appears necessary to implement a lawn sprinkling ban for this summer and notify residents as soon as possible. Mr. Flora stated this resolution would establish a lawn sprinkling/watering ban daily during the period of 12:00 p.m. (noon) to 8:00 p.m. He stated this conservation program could be amended or terminated dependinq on the summer conditions. He stated this ban would not apply to gardens or car washing at this time. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to adopt Resolution No. 13-1990. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson.
