THE MINIITES OF THE CONTINLTED BOARD OF REVIEW MEETING OF APRIL 22,
1991
The continued meeting of the Board of Review was called to order
at 7:34 p.m. by Mayor Nee.

Billings
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to reopen the Board of Review
meeting. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all
voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Nee stated it was requested at the meeting on April 8, 1991
that the Assessor's Office review several items and these will be
considered this evening.
BRUCE AND SHELDYN HIMLE. 1588 WOODSIDE COURT:
Mr. Madsen, City Assessor, stated he received a letter from Mr.
Himle that he would be unable to attend the meeting this evening
due to family medical problems.
Mr. Madsen stated that the average selling price per square foot
is $94.79, and the average lot value is $25,500. He stated that
this home would have a market value of $89, 000 plus $25, 500 for the
lot or a total of $114,500. He stated that the ratio for split
level homes is 95.2 percent and, if this same ratio is used on this
home, the value would be $109,000. He stated that his office has
established a value of $103,200 and recommended this value be
reaffirmed.
Mr. Madsen stated it was indicated to Mr. Himle that because he
would not be able to attend this meeting, he could certainly
continue his appeal to the county.
Councilman Schneider stated it was pointed out in Mr. Himle's
letter that the house was on the market for nearly a year.
Mr. Madsen stated there are very good comparable sales in that
neighborhood which have sold for considerably more per square foot
than this property. He stated that this seems to indicate there
must have been some other factor or factors involved in this sale.
CONTINIIED BOARD OF REVIEW MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAGE 2
Mr. Madsen stated that the home was originally sold in 1975 for
$46,500 and resold in 1976 for $56,000. He stated that the 1975
sale probably did not reflect a completed value as there may have
been work to be finished on the home. He stated that first value
the City placed on the home was in January, 1976. He stated that
until this recent sale, there had not been any other sales since
1976.
Councilman Schne'ider stated that his concern was the amount of time
the home was on the market. He stated that one realtor stated the
value is $105,000 and another states it is $89,000. He stated that
Mr. Himle's letter raises some questions in his mind regarding the
value.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to reduce the estimated market value
on this property at 1588 Woodside Court to $96,000. Seconded by
Councilman Billings. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee
declared the motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Billings asked Mr. Madsen if it should be specified
whether the adjustment should be on the value of the land or the
dwelling.
Mr. Madsen stated that as a matter of practice, unless staff's
recommendation is otherwise, the adjustment is made on the
dwelling.
ROGER AND DEBORAH HARMON 5498 WEST DANUBE ROAD:
Mr. Madsen, City Assessor, stated that his office did not have any
additional information regarding this property.
Councilman Schneider stated that according to Mr. Harmon the key
issue is because his home is large, and there are few buyers for
such a home.
Mr. Madsen stated that there were six similar properties which were
used for comparison to Mr. Harmon's home. He stated that Mr.
Harmon's home was the largest; however, the property at 1425 North
Innsbruck Drive is quite similar but about 100 square feet smaller.
He stated that Mr. Harmon's home has over 3,000 square feet of
finished space.
Mr. Harmon stated that when his home was on the market there were
a lot of comparable properties for sale; however, no one purchased
this home. He stated that the home does not have a full bath on
the main floor and, even though it is unique, he did not think it
merited the value placed on the home.
Councilman Schneider asked how long this home was on the market
before Mr. Harmon purchased it.
Mr. Harmon stated that the home had been for sale for a year prior
to his offer.
CONTINIIED BOARD OF REVIEW MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAGE 3
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to establish the estimated market
value for this property at 5498 West Danube Road at $142,900.
Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, Councilman
Schneider, Councilwoman Jorgenson, Councilman Fitzpatrick and Mayor
Nee voted in favor of the motion. Councilman Billings voted
against the motion. Mayor Nee declared the motion carried by a 4
to 1 vote.
YOAVA KLUCSAR, 1420 RICE CREEK ROAD:
Mr. Madsen, City Assessor, stated that Mr. Klucsar stated he would
not be attending this meeting and realizes if he is not satisfied
with the Board's action, he can protest to the County.
Mr. Madsen stated staff's recommendation on this property is to
reduce the value from $77,800 to $73,500.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to concur with the recommendation
of the Assessor's Office and reduce the estimated market value to
$73,500 for the property at 1420 Rice Creek Road. Seconded by
Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
LOIS WHITE, 7736 ALDEN WAY:
Mr. Madsen, City Assessor, stated that Ms. White does not agree
with the value placed on her property and the recommendation to
reduce the value to $123,900. He stated that she hoped to have an
appraisal, but this has not been submitted. He stated that Ms.
White realizes she can further appeal to the county.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to reduced the estimated market
value of the property at 7736 Alden Way to $123,900. Seconded by
Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee
declared the motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to close the meeting of the Board
of Review. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote,

BOARD OF REVIEW MEETING. APRIL 8, 1991:
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to approve the minutes as presented.
Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
COUNCIL MEETING, APRIL 8, 1991:;
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to approve the minutes as
presented. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote,

ADOPTION OF AGENDA:
MOTION by Councilman Billings to adopt the agenda as submitted.
Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
OPEN FORUM, VISITORS:
Mr. Frederick Rochelle, 5435 W. Brenner Pass, stated that he is on
the Council's agenda under Item 16 and wanted to let it be known
to all that he requested to be under the Open Forum item. He
stated that he had every television station and both newspapers
coming out here, and he believed a move was made, because the
Council knew that the television people would not stay around, to
put him on the agenda later.
Councilman Billings stated the Council has a policy that no action
can be taken unless an item is an actual agenda item. He stated
that he requested the City Manager to make this an official agenda
item and that this is the first he knew he was doing something to
thwart any publicity stunt. He stated the allegation that this was
done to specifically preclude all the television stations from
being here is totally unjustified. He stated that this was done
without malice and with the intent of it becoming an agenda item.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL M�ETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAGE 2
Mr. Rochelle stated that two weeks ago because of a certain
situation, there was something that precluded him from coming that
evening. He stated that he specifically stated he wanted to be on
the agenda under Open Forum so the newspaper representatives could
be there.
Councilman Schneider asked if Mr. Rochelle was aware there was a
Board of Review Meeting prior to the;regular Council meeting and
that there are a�lot of people present. He stated that he knew Mr.
Rochelle's item would involve a lengthy discussion, and that it is
not fair to others who have agenda items to sit through this
discussion under the Open Forum portion of the agenda.
PUBLIC HEARINGS•
1. PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND CHAPTER 205 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE,
ENTITLED "ZONING " BY AMENDING SECTIONS 205.03 "DEFINITIONS "
AND SECTION 205.07 "R-1 ONE FAMILY DWELLING DISTRICT
REGULATIONS"•
MOTION by Councilman Billings to waive the reading of the public
hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilman
5chneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at
8:06 p.m.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that this public
hearing is the culmination of several months of research on this
topic. She stated that the intent of the ordinance is to provide
a set of standards and a process to permit an accessory apartment
to be created within a single family home so that it would not
adversely affect the character of the single family district.
Ms. Dacy stated that the existing ordinance does permit, as an
accessory use, the rental of guest rooms, but there cannot be a
separate kitchen. She stated that the ordinance also restricts the
occupancy to no more than two people�per unit.
Ms. Dacy stated that the definition of family, as provided in the
ordinance, are those individuals related by blood or marriage. She
stated that if they are unrelated, the occupancy must be below
five. She stated that a license is required to rent out a single
family home.
Ms. Dacy stated that there was concern regarding a number of
violations occurring in the single family district where homes were
being converted into illegal duplexes. She stated that the intent
of the amendment is to prevent this type of rental unit which may
lead to the creation of nuisances from multiple families on one
lot.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAG$ 3
Ms. Dacy stated that there are individuals in the community who
rent part of their home to a family member. She stated that the
Planning Commission was aware of the impact, and that they
requested staff to address these issues, and to draft an ordinance
to prevent the erosion of single family districts.
Ms. Dacy stated that the Commission's recommendation is an
ordinance amendment which would allow the creation of an apartment
as an accessory use. She stated that twelve standards have been
recommended for the accessory use. She stated that the Commission
did not want to discourage persons to create living areas for
related individuals; however, if an individual is not related a
license would be required.
Ms. Dacy stated that the proposed ordinance amendment does contain
an amortization process on non-conforming units. She stated that
the owner has three years to meet these standards.
Councilman Schneider asked if the license distinction between
relatives and those that are not related is defensible.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated it'is his opinion that this can
be defended. �
Councilman Billings stated that as he understands the proposed
ordinance, he could construct within his dwelling an accessory
apartment, and as long as he did not:rent it out to anyone either
related or unrelated he would not have to advise the City other
than obtaining the necessary building permits. Ms. Dacy stated
that was correct.
Cauncilman Billings stated that if he had an accessory apartment
in his home and had to move from the City for a number of years and
chose to rent out his home, as he reads the code, the simple
presence of an accessory apartment would preclude him from renting
his home to a single family.
Ms. Dacy stated that she felt the intent is to rent out the entire
single family home as opposed to just the accessory apartment.
Councilman Billings stated that would be the intent under Section
B.(4)(f}(2) which states the dwelling must be owner occupied except
for temporary absences.
Mr. Herrick stated the intent of that provision would be that a
renter of the entire dwelling could not rent out the accessory
apartment. He stated that the language under this section relates
to and is a condition on which an accessory apartment could be
rented. He stated that if the language is not clear this can be
changed. He stated that what was intended was if an accessory
apartment was to be rented the main dwelling has to be occupied by
the owner.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAGE 4
Councilman Billings stated that Section B.(4j(f)(2j outlines
standards for accessory apartments, and one of the standards states
that the owner must reside in the primary unit.
Mr. Herrick stated that he is not sure he agrees with that
conclusion but felt the language could be changed to make it more
clear.
Councilman Bi2lings felt that the language, as it is now written,
allows him as the homeowner to relocate and rent his home to a
single family as long as he rents the entire home.
Mr. Herrick stated that the person who rents the home could not
rent the accessory use to another individual.
Councilman Billings asked if the definition of a single family has
changed.
Ms. Dacy stated that the proposed ordinance does not address the
definition of a family.
Councilman Billings asked if he as a homeowner were to be absent,
could he rent to a family consisting of a married couple and also
rent to a married couple with a chiZd.
Ms. Dacy stated that if these occupants use the entire home as
opposed to one family in one part and the other family occupying
the accessory part this would be permitted.
Councilman Billings stated that he is not critical of the proposed
amendment, but a vast majority of the existing situations that are
causing complaints might still be e�ligible to exist under this
language. He stated that the other interpretation might create a
situation where it would be impossible for a person who has an
accessory apartment to leave the City�because he could not rent out
his home during his absence.
Mr. Herrick stated that the definitioh of single family where five
or more unrelated persons are included in the definition was
adopted not from choice but because' of court opinions that you
cannot iimit the definition of single family to only married
couples and chiZdren.
Councilman Schneider stated that the intent is not to limit family
members from living in their own households. He stated that the
problem he has seen is the situation where the R-1 zoning integrity
is being chaZlenged. He stated that a single family home is being
used as an R-2 use by renting out a basement apartment for the sake
of helping with finances. He stated that, to some extent, the
ordinance would allow this to continue but with licensing there is
some control in the event complaints would arise.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAGE
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Olin, 541 - 53-1/2 Avenue, stated that their home
is rented to two separate families. Ms. Olin stated that they have
made improvements and installed two separate furnaces.
Ms. Dacy stated the intent of the ordinance is that the home would
be occupied as a one family dwelling, and if the Olin's wanted to
rent the accessory apartment they would have to live there in order
to do it. She stated that after three years they could no longer
rent the dwelling to two families.
Mr. Robert Ledermann, 548 - 53-1/2 Avenue, stated he believed that
five unrelated persons have access to this entire home at 541 -
53-1/2 Avenue. He felt that an R-1 district should be for single
family homes only and that was the reason he moved to the area. He
stated that if he had wanted to live in an R-2 area he would have
moved to such a location.
Mr. Ledermann asked if Mr. Olin could rent to five people.
Ms. Dacy stated that this could be done provided all five persons
have access to the entire home.
Councilman Billings stated that he is not sure the language
presented this evening will satisfy Mr. Ledermann's concerns.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider 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 8:39 p.m.
Ms. Dacy stated that staff would review the language to address the
Council's concerns and bring this proposed ordinance amendment to
the Council for a first reading at the May 6, 1991 meeting.
2. PUBLIC HEARING ON REGISTERED LAND SURVEY, P.S. #91-02, BY
STEVEN BRUNS FOR MIDWEST SUPER STOP, TO REPLAT PROPERTY
GENERALLY LOCATED AT 8100 EAST RIVER ROAD N.E.:
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
8:40 p.m.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that this property
is located in the southwest corner of Fairmont Street and East
River Road and is zoned C-1. She stated that the Council approved
a lot split in 1987 and when the petitioner attempted to record the
legal description at the County, they requested a registered land
survey to clarify the legal descriptions.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAGE 6
Ms. Dacy stated that this proposed registered land survey will
create four parcels; Tracts A, B, C and D. She stated that Tracts
A and B are for the gas station, Tract C should be conveyed to the
property owner to the west, and Tract D should be dedicated to the
County as right-of-way for East River Road. She stated that the
Planning Commission recommended approval of this registered land
survey with six stipulations, most of which_were repeats from the
lot split.
No persons in the audience spoke regarding this proposed registered
land survey.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to close 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 closed at 8:44 p.m.

INTO TWO SEPARATE PARCELS PARCEL A AND PARCEL B GENERALLY
LOCATED AT 5201-5275 CENTRAL AVENUE N.E. (TABLED 4,�8f91)•
Councilman Billings stated that there has been considerable
discussion between the proposed purchaser of this south lot,
Milestone Hotel Investments, and the neighborhood residents. He
stated that as recently as this afternoon, Milestone
representatives have indicated they would propose to the
neighborhood that a neighborhood advisory committee be established
to meet quarterly with the motel management to discuss neighborhood
problems. He asked if the residents would comment on this
suggestion.
Ms. Judy Engebretson, 5216 Taylor Street, stated that she just
learned about this suggestion this evening. She stated that she
hates to be so negative but felt this route was taken before when
the motel was constructed. She stated that the idea is great but
questioned if this would only be a sounding board for the residents
to vent their frustrations. She stated that she has reservations
if this would be a workable situatiort.
Ms. Engebretson stated that she and another neighbor discussed the
possibility of an atrium type enclosure and to use the rear of the
motel only in emergencies. She stated that this way everyone would
have to use the front lobby and felt it would help eliminate some
of the problems.
Ms. Engebretson stated that she understands there is a problem if
the City attaches a stipulation to the lot split that there would
be no liquor license. She suggested that perhaps a timeframe could
be attached to the lot in regard to the liquor license in order to
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAGE 7
provide time for Milestone to prove that they have control over
the problems the residents have been experiencing. She stated that
she is against the lot split if the residents cannot have
guarantees of controlling the situation.
Councilman Schneider stated that what Milestone is telling the
Council is that they believe they can better manage the motel.
Councilwoman Jorgenson felt that perhaps it may be helpful to
install video cameras and speakers so that the motel' s property can
be monitored.
Councilman Billings stated that although Milestone has not
indicated they would take the City to court if the lot split is
tied to the liquor license the City Attorney has indicated he would
have a difficult time defending such a lawsuit. He stated that he
felt the idea of an advisory committee was good and if Milestone
does not control the problems this would be an issue if they
applied for a liquor license.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated the only items he felt that
should be tied to the lot split are those related to the lot such
as shared parking, driveways, etc. He stated that the liquor
license is an entirely different question. He stated that if the
Council wants to take the position that a liquor license should not
be issued until Milestone has operated the motel for a certain
period of time this could be considered if and when an application
is submitted for a liquor license.
Mr. Gudmundson, representing Milestone Hotel Investments, stated
that he thought enclosing the hallways was a good suggestion but
there is a problem with the heating and air conditioning systems,
and they would be venting into the hallways. He stated the other
consideration is that travelers and manufacturers� representatives
carry their samples and like those accommodations for easy access
from their car to their room. He stated that this is a benefit in
the motel business.
Mr. Gudmundson stated that they want the opportunity to prove their
ability to operate a good motel. He'stated that they are willing
to step forward, be responsible citizens, and to operate in a
manner which makes everyone proud. He stated that they will
attempt to solve the neighborhood problems in an orderly fashion.
Councilman Billings asked if there are any plans to sell the motel
in a short period of time.
Mr. Gudmundson stated that in the 25 years they have been in
business they have only sold one motel. He stated that their plans
are long term, and they hope they can be an asset to this community
for several years.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAGE 8
Councilman Billings asked if Milestone would be willing to go on
record that they do not intend to apply for a liquor license within
the first year.
Mr. Gudmundson answered in the affirmative.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if Milestone would be willing to
install some additional security items such as a video camera in
the rear of the motel.
Mr. Gudmundson felt that this was a good idea and certainly would
check into it.
Mr. Gudmundson stated the problem is that there are three homes in
close proximity to a commercial property. He felt there is more
that can be done, and the advisory committee would provide a means
for discussing these issues.
Councilman Billings asked Mr. Gudmundson if he would be opposed to
installing a wooden fence if the residents made such a suggestion.
Mr. Gudmundson stated that it is something they have suggested and
would be appropriate to discuss with the advisory committee. He
felt that, given the opportunity, Milestone would be able to
convince the residents that they are responsible motel operators.
Mayor Nee stated that he had an opportunity to talk to a person who
has watched this motel operation for several years. He stated that
he agreed there were disturbances as a result of the failure of the
motel and restaurant operator to police some of the parties.
Mr. Steve Kantorowicz, 5200 Taylor Street, felt that the Council
is opening the door for other problems by approving the lot split.
He stated that the person who owns the shopping mall may want to
split off the office space. He stated that he is against the lot
split.
Mr. Kantorowicz stated that he has lived at this address for 22
years, there has been everything in that mall, and nothing has
succeeded. He stated that the mall is a"dead horse" and did not
feel approving the lot split would solve the problem.
Mayor Nee stated that if nothing is done the situation will get
worse. He stated that Milestone is proposing to invest $400,000
to make it better. He stated that these persons are experienced
motel operators and felt they could improve the situation.
Mayor Nee stated that there are all kinds of problems which brought
about this situation in regard to how the capital was raised, and
the motel operators were not experienced. He stated that it is the
question of taking a chance with Milestone who wishes to improve
the property as opposed to leaving it as it now exists.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETINQ OF APRIL 22. 1991 PAGE 9
Mr. Kantorowicz stated that hospitality rooms mean conventions, and
these people attending the conventions go wild in the parking lots.
Mayor Nee stated that the Milestone management will absolutely have
to have control over these situations. He stated that he felt the
problem would not occur in a well-operated motel.
Mr. Kantorowicz stated that he felt if someone wants the motel they
should purchase a11 the property. He stated that there was not
enough parking when the motel was constructed.
Councilman Billings stated that Milestone wants to operate the
motel but asked Mr. Kantorowicz if he p�eferred to leave the
operation as it now exists. �
Mr. Kantorowicz suggested that the City should take it over. He
stated that the hill was suppose to be maintained and it has not
been.
Ms. Golden, Chairperson for the Fridley Chamber of Commerce, stated
that they meet monthly at the Skywood Inn and have seen the
deterioration. She stated that they would like a new owner and
felt it would be better for Fridley. She stated that there is no
reason why the motel should not be successful.
Mr. Bill Leavey, 1240 - 52nd Avenue, asked if the motel could be
closed if there are police problems and convictions at the motel.
Mayor Nee stated that the owners could be prosecuted under the
public nuisance laws. He stated that if the motel had a liquor
license there are a number of laws governing the operation.
Mr. Leavey stated that he would like to see an atrium on the south
and east sides of the motel. He stated that this way management
would be aware if there was a problem outside the motel. He stated
that he did not feel it would be that �ostly to construct an atrium
and accommodate the heating ducts.
Councilman Billings asked if there are stipulations from prior
variances which should be included in the stipulations for the lot
split.
Ms. Dacy stated that there was a variance for the signs approved
on February 25, 1985 and reguirements under building permit,
No. 17757 issued October 9, 1984.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to adopt Resolution No. 36-1991, with
the stipulations attached as Exhibit A. Seconded by Councilman
5chneider.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to amend the stipulations in
Exhibit A by adding the following two stipulations: (6) No
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETIN� OF APRIL 22. 1991 PAGE 10
additional free-standing signage may be added to the site beyond
the amount of signage that was originally approved in the 1985
variance request. Wa1Z signs may be permitted if in compliance
with the sign ordinance; and (7) Any stipulations and requirements
of building permit No. 17757 dated October 9, 1984 and the sign
variance dated February 25, 1985 shall inure to both lots, if it
is applicable. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously. �
Councilman Billings stated that his primary reason for approving
the lot split is due to the legal opinion that basically states it
appears a responsible developer wishes to purchase this motel and
as long as they meet the requirements of the codes and ordinances
the City does not have a reason not to approve the lot split.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE MAIN MOTION, all voted aye, and
Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Cauncilman Billings stated that he would like to encourage the
residents of the neighborhood and the motel owner to meet to
address the concerns to satisfy the neighborhood. He stated that
he would also like to encourage the owner to review the atrium
issue to determine if something can be done in that area.

FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22. 1991 PAGE 13
16. CONSIDERATION OF BUILDING INSPECTION ISSUE RAISED BY FREDERICK
ROCHELLE•
Mr. Rochelle stated that his problem started in 1979 when the
fireplaces in his dwelling unit were built. He stated that the
inspector, Darrel Clark, signed off indicating his chimney was up
to code. He stated Mr. Clark signed oif on the framing and went
on to explain th�s definition under the Uniform Building Code.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if he was quoting from the current
building code or the code in effect in 1979.
Mr. Rochelle stated that it is the current code and it was in
effect in 1979.
Mr. Rochelle stated that on some of the chimneys which Mr. Clark
had signed off, they did not have any fire stops; however, his
chimney had one stop. He stated that when the inspector was called
to inspect his chimney Mr. Wiley, the inspector, told his
contractor to add two additional stops. He stated that in
questioning why this was necessary he was told by Mr. Wiley that
it was code and there had to be one stop for every floor.
Mr. Rochelle stated that his neighbor, Larry Spitz, and Mr. Wiley
called Mr. Clark (at his cabin) and confirmed that three fire stops
were required. He stated the question was brought up that Mr.
Clark signed off on all the rest of the chimneys. He stated that
at this time, Mr. Clark told them to leave it at one and close it
up.
Mr. Rochelle stated that his contractor decided to make sure and
called Mr. Clark (at his cabin) and asked if he was sure it was all
right to leave it as one stop and close it up to which Mr. Clark
replied in the affirmative. Mr. Rochelle stated that he was
advised by his contractor what was happening, and he advised the
contractor that this was going to court. He stated that his
contractor responded that he was not going to close it up because
the judge will say the contractor should know what should be done
as well as the inspector.
Mr. Rochelle stated that his contractor went to City Hall to talk
to Mr. Clark, and Mr. Clark stated three stops were required. Mr.
Rochelle stated that he then came to City Hall to talk with Mr.
Clark, Mr. Wiley, and Mr. Hunt. He stated that Mr. Wiley stated
there was a gray area, and people can interpret the code different
ways.
Mr. Rochelle stated that he asked Mr. Clark, before he had
contacted the State of Minnesota, if he thought only one fire stop
was required to which he had replied in the affirmative.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAGE 14
Mr. Rochelle stated that Mr. Brooks from the State told him three
fire stops were required and that it was black and white.
Councilman Schneider stated that even if a mistake was made he
asked Mr. Rochelle if he was implying it was intentional. Mr.
Rochelle answered in the negative.
Mr. Rochelle stated that if Mr. Clark had done his job in 1979, he
would not be here this evening. He stated that he has heard from
Mr. Hunt, Mr. Burns, and Mr. Clark that the City has only two
inspectors and cannot stand out there and watch every stop that is
installed, that they have to trust the contractors. He stated that
if the City trusts the contractors then the inspectors are not
needed.
Mr. Rochelle stated that he felt because Mr. Clark signed off, the
City should pay for the chimneys to be fixed. He stated that
before a building contractor closes�anything he must notify the
City inspector.
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Rochelle if he was seeking damages from the
City.
Mr. Rochelle stated that he is requesting that the residents be
paid to have their chimneys fixed. He stated that he is asking the
City to pay for the ones that have been fixed and need to be
repaired again and for the other five remaining to be corrected.
He felt that someone should inspect the fireplaces in the Vienna
Townhomes and the other buildings.
Mr. Rochelle stated that he would like an independent board to look
at criminal wrongdoing by Mr. Clark and the City.
Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Rochelle what he was implying.
Mr. Rochelle stated that he was asking for a board to determine if
there was any criminal wrongdoing or neglect.
Mr. Larry Spitz, 5423 W. Brenner Pass, stated that the fireplaces
have been a concern of his for well over a year. He stated that
he was told by the Townhouse Association that a unit was going to
be painted, that there was an obvious hole in the fireplace, and
they were going to paint over it. He stated that he became
concerned and found out that there is a missing piece of wood on
the roofs. He stated that they were trying to figure out how the
missing piece of wood was related to the rotting fireplaces. He
felt that someone should address the problem with these fireplaces.
Mr. Spitz stated that the fire stop issue has just recently
surfaced.
Councilman Schneider felt that the issue Mr. Spitz raised is
between the homeowners and the Townhouse Association.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAGE 15
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, asked if Mr. Farr was contacted
regarding these problems.
Mr. Spitz stated that he has not been contacted. He stated that
he talked to Danny Farr, and he looked at it but nothing has been
done.
Mr. Rochelle stated that every attorney states the statute of
limitations has run out on these properties.
Mr. Herrick stated that whether the statute of limitations has run
out may be a fact question. He asked when the buildings were
constructed.
Mr. Spitz stated that they were constructed in 1977 and 1978. He
stated that someone has to listen, and this is the reason he is
here this evening. He stated that he served on the Townhouse
Association Board until several weeks ago and resigned because of
the fireplace issue.
Mr. Spitz stated one insurance company that insured the outside of
the buildings stated they were dropping the insurance because of
a fire hazard due to the fireplaces. He stated that he went to the
Association and was told that it is not their problem.
Ms. Jeanne Lager, 5427 W. Brenner Pass, stated that she bought her
townhome in 1987. She stated that she has replaced her chimney and
did not consider it a fire hazard as, from the time they were
constructed, water kept coming down through them and did not know
how a fire could even get started with it being so wet. She stated
that when the chimneys were inspected in 1979 it should have been
noticed that they did not function as chimneys. Ms. Lager stated
that the construction was lousy and it should have been noted. She
stated that her chimney was replaced with one fire stop, and she
would like clarification whether she is in compliance with the
code.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if she spoke to the contractor who
replaced her chimney and if he felt the work was to code. She
stated that she would like clarification, in writing, if her
fireplace meets code.
Ms. Lager answered in the affirmative and stated that she hired
this contractor specifically because he had done so many, and he
was a chimney expert.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that she wished
to clarify the purpose of the draft stop. She stated that it is
to slow the progress of a fire up the chimney chase, but it will
not prevent a fire per se. She stated that it should be noted the
units were constructed with materials between the chimney chase
itself and building. Ms. Dacy stated that perhaps the architect
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAGE 16
that drew the plans thought the chimney chase was separated by
appropriate fire walls.
Ms. Dacy stated that at this point, the best interpretation is that
there should be a draft stop for every occurrence where the chase
passes a floor or ceiling. She stated that in conversations with
the State Building Code Division this is an interpretation issue,
and there could be a legitimate argument for one draft stop. She
stated that at this point, the fourteen existing chimneys meet the
intent of the code, and there was no intention to require the
owners to install the additional stops. She stated that as far as
the persons with the other five units, the interpretation is that
wherever there is a floor or ceiling level there would be a draft
stop.
Mr. Darrel Clark, Chief Building Official, stated that the fire
stops have not been an issue in the past. He stated that he and
Ms. Dacy looked at the site and talked to Mr. Rocheile and Mr.
Spitz.
Mr. Clark stated that Mr. Spitz had indeed inquired as to fire
stops last year. He called City Hall, was referred to someone in
the Fire Department, and that person told him the interpretation
was that only one fire stop was required. He stated that this is
probably why only one fire stop was installed.
Mr. Clark stated that his office did make two inspections and has
records on all fifteen fireplaces. He stated that there are
fifteen permits to fix the chimney chases, and the original reason
for fixing them was due to the appearance. He stated that his
personal discussion with the contractor was that fire stops would
be needed in all the chases and flashing that would prevent
moisture problems.
Mr. Clark stated that on the first framing inspection there were
no stops in the chases at that time.: He stated that he was sure
he mentioned to the contractor that h�s main purpose to inspect at
this time was to make sure all rotted framing had been replaced and
to tell him he had to put in fire stops. He stated that on the
final inspection you cannot see inside the chimney at all.
Mr. Clark stated that in 1979 he did make the framing, insulation,
and final inspections on Mr. Rochelle's unit. He stated that at
the time of the insulation inspection, he cannot recall if the
fireplaces were in the building. He stated that it is not uncommon
in the metropolitan area that separate chase inspections are not
done. He stated that as far as a fire hazard, the fire hazard is
not necessarily the chase and the fire stops, but it is the
fireplace and the chimney. He stated that a lot of insurance
companies will not insure homes with fireplaces especially those
with Class "A" metal chimneys.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, I991 PAGE 17
Mr. Clark stated in conversations he had with Mr. Brooks that the
subject of ordering corrections to be done did not come up. It was
Mr. Brooks' opinion that each floor/ceiling or ceiling the chase
passed by should have a fire stop. The consensus of the other
inspection contact was the same. Most agree, however, that since
the chimney chase is outside the livable space of the home and has
no floor or ceilings in it someone could argue that no fire stop
is required. Mr. Clark stated he agreed that the most strict and
safest interpretation is that a fire stop should be installed at
each floor/ceiling or ceiling that it passes by.
Councilman Schneider asked when an inspector signs off on the
inspection, does he guarantee that the home is built to every
possible item in the code?
Mr. Clark stated that if this was done, someone would have to be
on site at all times. He stated it is not uncommon that a fire
stop could be missed, just as a missing two by four may go
unnoticed.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she had done some remodeling and
did not proceed until they were sure the inspection could be done.
She stated that she knows contractors do not always stop at a
certain point where the inspector can make their inspection but
takes the work farther. She stated that she does not know if this
was the case in this instance or not. She stated that from her
own experience she has found that Mr. Clark has been very thorough
in his inspections.
Councilman Schneider stated that he suspects there are a lot of
gray areas and asked Mr. Clark if :he makes any judgments and
records them.
Mr. Clark stated that he does not try to make judgments on c�zality
regarding how the construction will look when it is completed. He
stated that he tries to insure the code is met, as best he can, for
the amount of time he has to spend ori the job.
Mr. Herrick asked how long it has been known that there was a
problem with rotting, as far as the fireplaces are concerned.
Mr. Spitz stated in Ju2y, 2989 when the Association was going to
paint over the holes was the first time he became aware of it. He
stated that in 1988 Dick Larson was called regarding carpenter
ants.
Mr. Herrick stated his concern was that the Townhouse Association
let this happen without making any contact with the builder of this
project. He stated that the person primarily responsible for this
is the builder, and he has not heard where anyone contacted Mr.
Farr.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22. 1991 PAGE 18
Mr. Rochelle stated that is because the statute of limitations ran
out.
Mr. Herrick stated that is probably because the Townhouse
Association was not doing anything about the problem. He stated
that he would like to do some research as to whether the statute
of 1 imitations has run out because he is not sure that is true .
He stated that it seems if the things were rotting since the day
they were built someone should have done something about it long
before now.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to close discussion on this item in
ten minutes. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously.
Mayor Nee stated that as he understands it Mr. Rochelle is
proposing that the City accept the responsibility to rebuild the
fireplaces.
Mr. Herrick stated that he felt more facts and written statements
were needed from the State building inspector. He felt that
questions should be put in writing and the answers received in
writing. He stated that this preserves the record and has the
affect of making certain the question is definite and the answer
is definite.
Mr. Herrick stated that as far as the legal aspect, the general
rule is the City building inspector and the City are not guarantors
of the building that is being constructed and, with certain
exceptions, the City and building inspector are not liable for
errors that might have been made. He stated that all the facts
are needed and then case laws have to be reviewed. He stated that
he would prepare a memo on the question of the City's liability.
He stated there is no question in his mind that the primary person
that should have been liable is the builder. He stated that if
there was a separate contractor, that person also should have been
liable. He stated that there is a question of liability on the
part of the architect, and they all have the responsibility to
construct according to code.
Mr. Herrick stated that after he has had the oppartunity to review
this matter further he would submit a report and would advise
Council regarding the legal responsibility. He stated that if the
City has some legal liability than the claim should be turned over
to the City's insurance company.
Mr. Rochelle asked when a City inspector signs off that the work
is completed and has been inspected, does he physically have to see
that the work has been done.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22. 1991 PAGE 19
Mr. Herrick stated that what the inspector has to do is examine the
structure to the best that he can observe and determine whether it
meets code or not.
Councilman Schneider asked the cost to add two fire stops.
Mr. Rochelle stated the stops cost $150 each.
Mayor Nee stated that a report will be forthcoming from City staff
regarding this issue.
9. APPROVAL OF 1991-1992 CONTRACT WITH THE TWIN CITY AREA URBAN
CORPS•
MOTION by Councilman Billings to approve the 1991-1992 contract
with the Twin City Area Urban Corps. Seconded by Councilman
Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously.
10. RECEIVE BIDS AND AWARD CONTRACT FOR 0.5 MG WATER TANK
PAINTING/ALTITUDE VALVE AND VAULT INSTALLATION PROJECT
NO. 212•
AND �
MOTION TO AMEND THE 1991 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TO
INCREASE THE 0.5 MG WATER TANK PAINTINGJALTITUDE VALVE AND
VAULT INSTALLATION PROJECT NO. 212 BY $166,670.00:
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that the original tank was
constructed in 1962. The tank was inspected and an estimate for
the repair and painting of this tank was $160,000 in 1989. He
stated that in preparing plans for the 1.5 MG elevated tank, it was
determined to delay construction of the altitude valve pit and
incorporate it into the 0.5 MG tank repair and filter plant piping
system. He stated that the estimated cost for the pit and valve
construction was $80,000.00 and was added to the 0.5 MG tank
project.
Mr. Flora stated that due to environmental concerns with lead-based
paint, the paint material on the tank was inspected and found to
be lead based. He stated that the plans and specifications for
repainting the tank require the paint to be removed completely and
appropriate precautions taken because of its close proximity to the

Seconded by Councilwoman Jargenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Flora stated that the low bidder was Rainbow, Inc. at
$376,667.00. He stated that this bid included $180,667 for repair
and repainting of the tank; $73,000 for shrouding to contain the
sandblasted waste material, and $123,000 for construction of the
altitude valve and pit. He stated that the bid is $136,667.00 over
the original estimate. . �
Mr. Flora stated if the sandblast material is found to be
contaminated, there is an additional $30,000 cost to deal with
disposal.
Mr. Flora stated that a new tank of the same capacity is estimated
at $400,000 and felt the repair costs are appropriate based upon
the extended life that can be expected for the tank.
Councilman Schneider stated that he has raised this issue before,
and the point is that the City is paying a consultant to estimate
these costs and they are not accurate. He stated that it is
irritating that they are so much over the estimate.
Mr. Flora stated that the original estimate in 1989 did not include
the lead paint on the environmental issues and it is recommended
that the bid be awarded to Rainbow, Inc. for $376,667.00 plus the
$30,000 for the hazardous waste disposal.
Councilwoman Jorgenson felt that it was necessary to remove the
lead based paint to insure the safety of the school children.
MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to award the contract for Project
No. 212 to the low bidder, Rainbow, Inc. for $376,667.00 plus
$30,000 for hazardous waste disposal or a total of $406,667.00.

Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to Permit
Accessory Apartments
At the public hearing on April 22, 1991, the City Council
considered testimony regarding the above referenced ordinance
amendment. During the discussion, Councilman Billings requested
clarification on Secti.on 205.07.1.B.(4)(f)(2) regarding what is
permitted in the case of an absentee owner. The City Attorney and
I have reviewed the ordinance and have inserted the followi�g
sentence in this section: "An absentee owner may rent a one family
dwelling containing an accessory unit, but both units must be
occupied by a single family."
It is also my understanding that Councilman Fitzpatrick has
requested informatian regarding how other communities regulate
mother-in-law/accessory apartments. The City of White Bear Lake
and the City of Minnetonka are the only two communities that we
were able to find which permitted mother-in-law/accessory
apartments. Both of these communities permit them by a special use
permit, whereas the proposed ordinance is proposing to regulate
these units by a license. In both the Minnetonka and White Bear
Lake case, unrelated individuals could occupy the unit. Their
ordinances do not distinguish between rel.ated or unrelated
individuals.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 24, 1991 PAGE 2
Ms. McPherson stated this property is located east of Central
Avenue and south of Rice Creek Road. The property is zoned
R-1, Single Family Dwelling, as are the properties surrounding
it. The petitioner is requesting a special use permit to
allow a second accessory building over 240 square feet. On
April 2, 1991, the Appeals Commission approved a variance to
increase the maximum square footage of accessory buildings
from 1,400 �square feet to 1,932 square feet, with three
stipulations:
1.
2.
3.
One curb cut shall be maintained from Rice Creek
Road.
The petitioner shall provide a hard surface driveway
by November 1, 1991.
Special Use Permit, #91-06, shall be approved.
Ms. McPherson stated that located on the property is a single
family dwelling and an existing detached garage with a
concrete slab for the second accessory building. In 1987,
the petitioner applied for a building permit to construct an
addition to the rear of the dwelling unit. At that time, the
petitioner questioned whether or not he would be permitted to
pour a concrete pad for a garage. He was told that a special
use permit would be required and a variance would be necessary
to meet code requirements. These requirements were indicated
on the building permit in 1987.
Ms. McPherson stated the property is slightly over one acre
in size. The petitioner has located the garage in such a
manner so that, if the petitioner decides to split the lot in
the future, one garage would exist on one lot and the house
and second garage would exist on the other lot. The proposed
garage will not adversely impact adjoining property owners,
as there is adequate separation between structures. The lot
coverage is well within the 25% allowed by Code,
Ms. McPherson stated the Engineering Department has requested
that one curb cut be maintained and be shared between the two
garages so that traffic interruptions are minimized on Rice
Creek Road. If the property is to be subdivided in the
future, there is a small right-of-way stub that would need to
be vacated and the property platted. If the petitioner
chooses to use the existing curb cut, a joint driveway
easement would need to be executed at the time of platting.
Ms. McPherson stated staff is recommending approval as the
lot is large enough to accommodate the second accessory
building, and the second accessory building will not adversely
impact any adjacent property owners.
3A
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. APRIL 24, 1991 PAGE 3
Mr. Klucsar stated he is trying to fix up the house and
property. It is his intention to split the lot in the future
and build a new house on the other lot.
MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Ms. Sherek, to close the
public hearing.

Code to allow accessory buildings, other than the first
accessory building, over 240 square feet, on Lot 30, Block 2,
Irvington Addition, and Lot 14, except the south 390 feet,

and industrial zoning districts. All AGFS tanks must
meet reauirements established by the Uniform Fire Code
(UFC) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Ag�ncy (MPCA)
Permits from State Fire Marshall and MPCA must be

MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to waive the
reading of the public hearing notice and open the public
hearing.
IIPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING OPEN AT
7:36 P.M.
Ms. Dacy stated she has been working with Urban Corps Intern,
Kevin Meeks, on this ordinance amendment. Mr. Meeks has done
all the background research, contacting other communities, and
working with her in developing the language. They have worked
closely with the Fire Department, and Dick Larson from the
Fire Department is at the meeting.
Ms. Dacy stated Mr. Meeks has been working in the Community
Development Department since January 1, 1991. He is a senior
at the University of Minnesota majoring in Urban Studies. Mr.
Meeks will be making the staff presentation on this ordinance
amendment.
Mr. Meeks stated research on above ground fuel storage tanks
began when the Fire Department alerted the Community
Development Department of a federal law that will require some
underground fuel storage tanks to be replaced by the year
2000. Due to concerns of expense and replacement of
underground tanks, staff thought this might generate interest
in the use of above ground tanks. Staff is concerned about
the aesthetic and safety impacts of above ground storage
tanks. He stated staff has looked at existing tanks in the
City. The Commissioners viewed a video tape of above ground
storage tanks at Willamette, Totino Grace High School, LaMaur,
and Dow Brand.
� C
LANNING COMMISSION MEETING. APRIL 24, 1991 PAGE 5
Mr. Meeks stated staff is proposing an amendment to City
Ordinance Chapter 205 as follows:
205.04. GENERAL PROVISIONS
9. ABOVE GROUND FUEL STORAGE (AGFS2 TANKS
A. AGFS tanks are permitted accessory uses in commercial
and industrial zoning districts. Al1 AGFS tanks must
meet rec�uirements established by the Uniform Fire Code
1UFC) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Aaency (MPCA).
Permits from State Fire Marshall and MPCA must be
obtained prior to application to the Fire Department for
an installation �ermit.
B. In commercial zoning districts and for automotive service
stations in the industrial districts AGFS tanks shall
not exceed a 1 000 gallon capacity and/or six (6) feet
in height and.[or diameter. Use of these tanks is limited
to liauid petroleum (LP).
Mr. Meeks stated there has been some discussion about
including kerosene and diesel fuel.
Mr. Meeks stated the reason AGFS tanks greater than a 1,000
gallon capacity are prohibited in commercial areas is due to
safety and aesthetic reasons. The Fire Department believes
it would not be safe to have AGFS tanks on small commercial
sites, such as automotive service stations, because of the
risk of accidents or vandalism that could cause the tanks to
rupture. In addition, the Fire Department noted that there
has never been an incident in the City of Fridley of an
underground fuel storage tank exploding and recommends
continued use of these types of tanks. Aesthetically, AGFS
tanks larger than 1,000 gallon capacity or six feet in
diameter and/or height would be an eye sore from the public
right-of-way.
C. Prior to installation, a permit from the City of Fridlev
Fire Det�artment shall be obtained
D. All AGFS tanks shall be screened bv a chain link fence
with metal slats and shall be no taller than eiaht (8)
feet in heictht, with the exceQtion of LP which does not
reauire fencing.
Mr. Meeks stated staff has not proposed vegetation screening,
wood, or plastic fencing, as these are flammable materials and
therefore recommend only metal chain link fencing with metal
slats.
�1�J
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 24, 1991 PAGE 6
E. The City of Fridley may require installation of vehicle
protection barricades for AGFS tanks, depending on the
tank's location on the property.
Mr. Meeks stated the Planning Department has notified all
commercial and industrial sites currently using AGFS tanks and
have notified all Fridley automotive service stations of the
proposed amendment.
Mr. Meeks stated staff is recommending the Planning Commission
approve the ordinance amendment as proposed.
Ms. Dacy stated that since the notice was published, staff
has been contacted by owners of existing tanks and some issues
have come up that the Commission might want to discuss.
Further, staff has received a complaint about the appearance
of an above ground tank.
Ms. Dacy stated the first issue is diesel and kerosene. They
have been notified by at least two property owners who have
small 250 gallon kerosene and diesel tanks. The owners asked
if those would be applicable under paragraph B. The intent
is to limit the size of tanks in commercial areas. However,
the size of these tanks are controllable; and, at the present
time, staff is taking the interpretation that these tanks
would be grandfathered in. At this point, staff does not know
if there is a great demand to have 250 gallon diesel and
kerosene tanks on a consistent basis, and that might be
another exception they could evaluate.
Ms. Dacy stated the complaint about the appearance of a tank
is the tank behind the Stylmark building on Main Street.
Staff is recommending a paragraph F be added: "All above
ground fuel storage tanks shall be maintained in a clean and
well kept appearance.rr
Ms. Dacy stated there is also the issue of signs. Property
owners or commercial establishments may paint advertising on
the exterior of these tanks. Staff is recommending a
paragraph G that would state: "Advertising signage is not
permitted on all above ground fuel storage tanks."
Mr. Betzold asked if the Environmental Quality and Energy
Commission would like to discuss any of these issues.
Mr. Sielaff stated he would be more concerned about
underground tanks. He asked how underground tanks are
regulated.
Mr. Dick Larson, Fire Marshall, stated that most of the older
underground storage tanks are leaking and are a threat to the
environment. By 1990, all underground storage tanks that do
3E
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. APRIL 24, 1991 PAG$ 7
not contain a double wall corrosion protection will have to
be removed. A permit has to be taken out to remove a tank,
and he has to witness the removal of the tank. If he can
smell any odors, then an environmentalist has to come out and
test the soil. He must also be on the site for the
installation of any tank.
Mr. Saba stated that maybe the City should be taking some
proactive action by requiring soil testing at the sites where
below ground storage tanks are located.
Mr. Larson stated that every owner of below ground storage
tanks is required to keep a record of the total amount of
leakage or shrinkage of the product. Once the leakage gets
beyond a certain percentage, then it is getting too costly
because too much of the product is being lost. Right now,
90� of the cleanup costs for contamination is paid by the
Super Fund.
Ms. Dacy stated the City also requires a monitoring weZl
permit when engineering companies want to take soil tests or
install a monitoring well to determine the extent of ground
water contamination. Staff could provide the Commission with
a list of stations that are under investigation at this time.
Mr. Larson stated the issue is that because it is very costly
to put below ground storage tanks back in the ground, there
is the possibility of more property owners wanting to put the
tanks above ground. The leaks can be monitored more closely.
What they are trying to do is head off any problems before
they develop.
Mr. Jim Determan, Determan Welding and Tank Service, stated
the laws were passed in 1989. By 1999, all tanks must be
removed or replaced or monitored. He stated he did not
believe the City is going to have a problem with above ground
storage tanks. He stated land is too valuable and it is very
expensive to install above ground storage tanks. The
pollution is the same for tanks above ground or below ground.
Mr. Larson stated insurance is also very expensive for
underground storage tanks. He did not know about insurance
for above ground storage tanks.
Mr. Saba stated he would be concerned about any exceptions
for above ground storage tanks, particularly in R-1, Single
Family Dwelling, zoning, such as the Totino Grace tank.
Ms. Dacy stated the above ground storage tank at Totino Grace
is the only one in a residential area. The intent of the
ordinance is that no other above ground storage tanks would
3F
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 24, 1991 PAGE 8
be allowed in R-1 zoning. Also, under this ordinance, if the
tank is ever removed, it will not be allowed to be replaced.
Mr. Sielaff stated he is very concerned about all the existing
underground tanks around the state that are leaking that might
not be taken care of until 1999 because of the lack of MPCA
staff.
Mr. Saba agreed. He would like to see some action taken that
could i.dentify those sites (including abandoned stations) and
somehow sample the tanks.
Mr. Larson stated the City does not allow tanks of abandoned
stations to be left in the ground. Those tanks have to be
removed.
Mr. Sielaff stated he has seen a lot of monitoring wells in
different locations. Are those monitoring wells being
reviewed?
Mr. Larson stated they are not reviewed by the Fire
Department; he believed the EPA is doing that.
Ms. Dacy stated the City does not want to encourage above
ground storage tanks for gas or other fuels or a substantial
size that may cause a danger. The alternatives are amending
paragraph B to allow diesel fuel and kerosene, under the
assumption that if the tank is 1,000 gallons or less, the City
can still protect itself.
Mr. Larson stated the code does not address any tanks 265
gallons and below, so the existing diesel fuel and kerosene
tanks would be exempted. He did not think they needed to
define those in the ordinance amendment.
Ms. Sherek stated she thought there should be a separate
paragraph that states: "By definition, this ordinance does
not apply to above ground fuel storage tanks of less than 265
gallons."
Mr. Saba stated he did not want to hold this ordinance
amendment up as far as above ground fuel storage tanks.
However, he believed the Environmental Quality and Energy
Commission would want to know what the existing conditions
are for below ground fuel storage tanks in the City.
Ms. Dacy stated that for the May Environmental Quality and
Energy Commission, staff can obtain a Iist of stations that
have either updated their tanks and/or have some type of
testing in process. Using that list, they can determine what
stations or properties are not listed. She believed that 950
��
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 24, 1991 PAGE 9
of the stations in the City are in some form of investigation
of that process.
Ms. Dacy stated that what the City can do above and beyond
the EPA, they have a staff limitation and the training staff
has had is limited in this area. Staff could research the
issue about what gap does the federal or state not address,
but she is concerned about enforceability.
Mr. Rick Sutherland, Burlington Northern, stated Burlington
Northern will be upgrading three below ground storage tanks
this year. They are working with the EPA on that. They also
have a very large above ground storage tank.
Ms. Dacy stated Burlington Northern is in an industrial area,
and the ordinance will allow industrial properties to continue
the use of above ground storage tanks.
Mr. Betzold stated if it was only the aesthetic issue for
above ground storage tanks, he could live with it; but there
are so many competing interests and environmental concerns.
Mr. Sielaff stated he is in agreement with the ordinance
amendment. There are also environmental concerns with the
above ground storage tanks, and maybe they should see if there
are any problems with existing above ground tanks in the City.
What does the state and the EPA regulate that the City does
not?
Ms. Modig stated that if there is a gap between the EPA and
the State, is there anything the City can do?
Mr. Betzold agreed. He stated they should probably be delving
into these issues a little more.
Ms. Savage suggested staff see if there are any other studies
or information on above ground versus below ground storage
tanks that could be reviewed.

public hearing.

Staff Report

Request
The petitioner is requesting a special use permit to allow a second
accessory building over 240 square feet. The request is for Lot
30, Block 2, Irvi:ngton Addition, and Lot 14, except the south 390
feet, Auditor's Subdivision No. 22., the same being 1420 Rice Creek
Road N.E.
The Appeals Commission recommended approval of a variance to
increase the maximum square footage of accessory buildings from
1,400 square feet to 1,932 square feet, with three stipulations
(see action taken letter dated April 9, 1991).
Site
Located on the property is a single family dwelling and an existing
garage with a concrete slab for the proposed garage. The property
is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling, as are the properties to the
north, south, east, and west.
Analysis
In 1987, the petitioner applied for a building permit to construct
a 28' x il' addition to the rear of the existing dwelling unit.
At that time, the petitioner questioned whether or not he would be
permitted to pour a concrete pad for a 24' x 24' garage. As the
petitioner already has a garage, he was told that a special use
permit would be required, as the proposed second garage would be
over the 240 square feet allowed for a second accessory building.
In addition, the square footage would also be above the 1,400
square feet permitted for all accessory structures, and a variance
would also need to be granted. These requirements were indicated
on the building permit in the form of a stipulation that no permit
for a second garage would be permitted until the original garage
was removed (see attached 1987 permit).
The petitioner's property is slightly over one acre in size. The
petitioner has located the second garage in such a manner that it
would be possible for a breezeway to be constructed between the
existing house and the garage. In addition, should the petitioner
choose to subdivide the property, it would be possible to allow one
garage to exist on one lot and the house and second garage to exist
on another lot. The proposed second garage will not adversely
impact adjoining property owners, as there is adequate separation
between structures. The lot coverage is also well within the 25�
allowed by code.
The Engineering Department has requested that one curb cut be
maintained and be shared between the two garages so that traffic
30

SP #91-06, Yoava Klucsar

interruptions are minimized on Rice Creek Road. Rice Creek Road
is a collector street and has about 4,500 average daily trips. If
the property is to be subdivided in the future, the right-of-way
stub and Lot 30 of the Irvington Addition would need to be vacated
and a plat created. If the petitioner chooses to use the existing
curb cut, a joint driveway easement would need to be executed at
the time of platting. The new lot line could occur where the
existing driveway is located.
Recommendation
Because the lot is one acre in size and large enough to accommodate
at least two building sites, granting the special use permit will
not create any adverse impacts. The proposed garage will be a
logical addition to the property. Staff recommends that the
Planning Commission recommend approval of this special use permit
request, to allow a second accessory building over 240 square feet.
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of
the request to the City Council with the following stipulations:
1. One curb cut shall be maintained from Rice Creek Road.
2. The petitioner shall provide a hardsurface driveway by
November l, 1991.
3. Special Use Permit, SP #91-06, shall be approved.
City Council Recommendation
5taff recommends that the City Council concur with the Planning
Commission action.

Establish Public Hearing for Above Ground Fuel
Storaqe Zoning Ordinance Amendment
Attached is the report for the amendment to the zoning ordinance
to provide regulations for above ground fuel storage tanks. The
Department's Urban Corps Intern and I have been working on this
amendment for the last two months. The Planning Commission
recommended approval of the ordinance amendment with changes.
Staff recommends that the City Council establish May 20, 1991 as
the public hearing date. (Note in the minutes that the Planning
Commission wanted the Environmental Quality and Energy Commission
to study the status of underground tanks in more detail.)

Fuel Storage Tanks
The Planning Division has been alerted by the Fire Department that
Federal laws now require replacement of all underground fuel
storage (UGFS) tanks by the year 2000. Due to the expense of
replacement and installation of the UGFS tanks, the Fire Department
is concerned that a trend may occur where property owners, in order
to save money, will switch from underground to above ground fuel
storage tanks. As a result, aesthetic and safety impacts need to
be addressed. We are recommending that the zoning ordinance be
amended to regulate placement and installation of above ground
tanks.
The Planning Division has completed research of above ground fuel
storage tanks (AGFS) tanks by taking note of neighboring
communities' efforts in dealing with this issue, by visiting local
examples of AGFS tanks (we have developed a video tape), by working
with the Fire Department in regard to the Uniform Fire Code, and
by evaluating the types of properties where AGFS tanks are located,
such as gas stations, industries, and schools.
Proposed Amendment
The proposed amendment to Chapter 205 of the Fridley City Code
entitled "zoning" would be to add 205.04.9 under "General
Provisions" as follows:
205.04. GENERAL PROVISIONS
9. ABOVE GROUND FUEL STORAGE (AGFS) TANKS
A. AGFS tanks are permitted accessory uses in commercial and
industrial zoning districts. All AGFS tanks must meet
recruirements established by the Uniform Fire Code {UFC) and
3W
Fuel Storage Tanks
May 1, 1991
Page 2
the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency {MPCA) A�ermit from
the State Fire Marshall must be obtained prior to
installation.
B. In commercial zoning districts and for automotive service
stations in the industrial districts AGFS tanks shall not
exceed a 1 000 gallon capacity andJor six (6) feet in heicrht
and/or diameter. Use of these tanks is limited to liauid
petroleum (LP�.
The reason AGFS tanks greater than a 1,000 gallon capacity are
prohibited in commercial areas is due to safety and aesthetic
reasons. The Fire Department believes it would not be safe to have
AGFS tanks on small commercial sites, such as automotive service
stations, because of the risk of accidents or vandalism that could
cause the tanks to rupture. In addition, the Fire Department noted
that there has never been an incident in the City of Fridley of an
underground fuel storage tank exploding and recommends continued
use of these types of tanks. Aesthetically, AGFS tanks larger than
1,000 gallon capacity or six feet in diameter and/or height would
be an eye sore from the public right-of-way.
C. Prior to installation a permit from the City of Fridley Fire
Department shall be obtained.
D. All AGFS tanks shall be screened by a chain link fence with
metal slats and shall be no taller than eight (81 feet in
heiqht, with the exception of LP which does not require
fencing.
We have not proposed vegetation screening, wood, or plastic
fencing, as these are flammable materials and therefore recommend
only metal chain link fencing with metal slats.
E. The City of Fridlev may require installation of vehicle
protection barricades for AGFS tanks depending on the tank's
location on the property.
The Planning Department has notified all commercial and industrial
sites currently using AGFS tanks and have notified all Fridley
automotive service stations of the proposed amendment.
F. The City of Fridley mav require installation of vehicle
protection barricades for AGFS tanks depending on the tank's
location on the property
G. All AGFS tanks shall be maintained in a clean and well kept
appearance.

Background
Barb Dacy, Co unity Development Director
Lisa Campbe��,��.Planning Associate
Consideration of Two-Year Curbside Recycling
Contract Between the City of Fridley and Super
Cycle, Inc.
On April 3, 1991, Super Cycle proposed shifting to a per household
service payment from a per ton payment. This payment structure
could reduce 1991 contract costs by roughly $30,000. Due to the
recent growth in monthly tonnage staff estimates that average
monthly tonnage for the remainder of the year will be 140 tons.
Under the current per ton rate the City can expect the curbside
contract costs to rise to $123,760, for 1991.
The growth in tonnage and participation is the result of the
distribution of curbside recycling containers. The containers were
distributed in February and participation was up 25% percent in
March. Participation for March is 49.8%. Tonnage for March was
111.30, twenty eight additional tons over February.
Why Would Super Cycle, Inc.,
Want to Reduce our Contract Cost?
Four factors may have motivated Super Cycle, Inc. to approach the
City of Fridley.
Internal Factor
The rapid growth in participation will result in the City facing
increased� contract costs for 1991. It is in Super Cycle's best
interest to reduce costs and reduce the likelihood that the City
would shift to another contractor or another method of service.
C�i

Recycling Contract
May 2, 1991
Page 2,
External Factors
There is widespread concern that SCORE funds may be reduced or
eliminated. Much of Super Cycle's revenue comes from SCORE funds.
If SCORE funds are cut it is possible that Supef Cycle would lose
contracts.
Super Cycle has tonnage commitments to meet with its paper markets.
If they lose contracts they run the risk of losing their markets.
There is an increase in the demand for paper. This is the result
of two paper mills coming on-line in Wisconsin. Competition for
a larger share of the expanding paper market, among providers, has
increased.
Super Cycle�s Proposal
Super Cycle is proposing a two-year contract, retroactive to April
1991, with a per household payment of $0.95 cents for the remair►ing
nine months of 1991 and $1.00 per houshold in 1992, a 90-day notice
and no profit sharing.
Estimated Contract Savings
Staff estimates that for the remainder of 1991 the City could
reduce potential contract costs by $34,080. Savings for Janurary
1992 through April of 1993, 16 months would be $40,000. Total
savings over the two year period would be $74,080. This savings
estimate is based on a comparison to the current contract payment
of $75.00 per ton. Total contract costs for the April 1, 1991 to
April l, 1993, under the current per ton payment structure would
be $262,500. Total contract costs for the same period under Super
Cycle's proposal would be $188,420.

** Shortfall for 1993 if Swap Fee is repealed at same time the
contract ends and Council switches to requiring the refuse hauler
to provide recycling services. Council could extend Swap fee for
just two months and this 1993 shortfall would be covered.
Recommendation/Options
Staff recommends accepting Super Cycle's proposal. This
recommendation is based on an immediate contract saving of $3,000
per month, with potential savings over the life of the two-year
contract of $74,000. The two year contract with a 90-day without
cause or with cause notice gives the City adequate time to evaluate
requiring the refuse haulers to provide recycling services and to
exit the contract should revenue sources fall short of
expenditures.
Staff will continue to investigate the licensing approach as
proscribed by the 1990 Solid Waste Fact-Finding Report. This
investigation should be completed by the Fall of 1991.

4. CONSIDERATION OF REVIEW OF CHAPTER 3 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY
CHARTER — DONNA BONDOW:
Ms. Bondow stated Chapter 3 is "Procedure of the Council", and
basically this chapter talks about how the City Council will
operate. She stated that throughout Chapter 3, references are
made to "a majority of aZl the Councilmembers", "a majority
vote of all the memiiers of the Council", "a vote of the
majority of the Council", "a minority", or a specific number
of Councilmembers. There seems to be an inconsistency and it
is something the Commission might want to discuss in the
future.

CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING I�IARCH 25 1991
PAGE 3
Section 3.01. COUNCIL I�iEgTING
Ms. Bondow stated that this particular section states: "The
Mayor or any three members of the Council may call special
meetings of the Council...��
Mr. Hunt referred to the first sentence in the section: ��On
the first official business day in January following a regular
municipal election,�the Council shall meet at the City Hall
at the usual time for the holding of Council meetings.�� He
stated the Council actually always meets on the first Monday
after the first of January, so six years out of seven this is
not observed. This is an issue the Con�mission might want to
change in the future. He suggested: "On the first official
meeting of the Council in January following the regular
municipal election...��
(Mr. Hamernik arrived at 8:10 p.m.j
Section 3.03. RIILEB OF PROCEDIIRE AND QIIORUM
Ms. Bondow stated this section refers to "a majority of all
the Councilmembers shall constitute a quorum...��.
Mr. Mittelstadt questioned what is meant by '�its own rules".
Maybe there should be a definition for the Council�s "rules".
Mr. Gordon stated this should be noted and discussed at a
later date.
Mr. Rusch questioned the last sentence: "A majority of all
the Councilmembers shall constitute a quorum to do business,
but a lesser number may adjourn from time to time.��
Mr. Backlund stated this sentence really does not make sense.
Ms. Bondow agreed that there should be some clarification.
Section 3.04. ORDINANCEB, RE80LIITIONB, AND MOTIONS
Ms. Bondow stated this section refers to "a majority vote of
all the members of the Council shall be required...�f.
Bection 3.06. EMERGENCY ORDINANCES
Ms. Bondow stated this section refers to "passed by a vote of
a majority of the Council".
Section 3.07. SIGNING, PIIBLICATION AND RETENTION OF

Ms. Bondow stated Section 3.07.02 refers to "the Council may

CAARTER COMMIBSION MEETING, MARCH 25, 1991 PAGE 4
Bection 3.10. REVIBION AND CODIFICATION OF ORDINANCES
Ms. Bondow stated this section states that the ordinances of
the City shall be revised, rearranged, and codified every five
years, but this section doesn't say how it is done and who
makes sure that is done?
Mr. Hunt stated the official text is updated every three
months. It is supervised by the City Clerk. (He referred to
Section 6.04. SUBORDiNATE OFFICERS.)
5. CONSIDERATION OF 2.05. VACANCIES IN THE COUNCIL: tContinued
from earlier in the agenda):
Mr. Hunt stated that, at the request of the Commission, he
made another revision of this section.
Mr. Rusch stated that in Section 2.05.03, it refers to "...to
bring the number of councilmembers up to five (5)...." This
seems a little confusing to the wording in other sections of
the Charter, because it sounds like it does not include the
mayor. Maybe it should be changed to: "the Mayor and up to
four (4) councilmembers".
Ms. Mau agreed that when she first read this, she thought it
was confusing, because they really only have four council-
members and one mayor.
Mr. Hamernik stated maybe it can be clarified by stating:
"...to bring the membership of the Council up to five (5)."
The Commission members were in agreement with this change.
Mr. Hamernik stated that regarding paragraph number 2 in
Section 2.05.01 and the question of whether there should be
a statement about a vacancy that occurs only sixty days before
the election, he thought they should put a statement in the
first section that if there is an election in the second year
and if it is close to the general election, then that should
be used instead of a special election.
Mr. Hunt stated he would prefer "not less than 30 days nor
more than 60 days" so there is a 30 day window. So, if the
vacancy occurs before an election, it could be squeezed in.
If the vacancy occurs less than 30 days before the next
election, they probably would not want to combine the two and
want to stre�ch it out and have a special election 30 days
after the general election.
Section 2.05.01 (middle section) of the revision was revised
as follows: "If a vacancy is declared to occur before January
1 of the fourth year of the term of office in question, the
Council shall call a special election to be held not less than
thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days from the time
such vacancy is declared."
V �
CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 25 1991 PAGE 5
Section 2.05.02, first sentence of the revision, was revised
as follows: "If the vacancy is declared to occur on or after
January 1 of the fourth year of the term of office in
question, the Council may call a special election as indicated
in number 1 above or the remaining members of the Council
may..."
Section 2.05.03, last sentence of the revision, was revised
as follows: �NIf the position of City Clerk is also vacant,
the Chief Judge of District Court of the State of Minnesota
within whose jurisdiction the
corporate offices of the City of Fridley lie
shall order such an election."
MOTION by Mr. Mittelstadt, seconded by Mr. Rusch, to approve
and submit to the City Council for action the revisions to

SIIBJECT: Recommendation to Receive and Award Contract
For the Electronic Automated Fuel Dispensing System,
Equipment Control/Repair Part Inventory System and
Computer Hardware
The City Council approved the advertisement for bid for the
Automated Fuel System and Equipment Cost Control/Repair Part
Inventory System at their meeting of March 25, 1991. Also, the
three new Bennett Fuel pumps were approved and purchased from Hale
Companies, Inc. for a total price of $4,267.00.
on Wednesday, April 17, 1991, public bids were separately opened
for the Automated Fuel Control and Equipment Cost-Control/Repair
Part Inventory Systems with options for computer hardware.
Eight specifications and bid forms were sent out to automated fuel
dispensing companies, for an automated fuel micro chip-key system.
Three bids were received and opened. Minnesota Petroleum Service,
located in Fridley, submitted the low bid with a Petro Vend Model
K-3000L Chipkey System for a total bid of $12,386.02. This bid
consists of the system hardware and software for $12,217.00 and
the key encoder kit for $624.00 less a deduct for a fuel stand
printer and phone modem of ($454.98).
Nine specifications and bid forms were sent out to equipment cost
control/repair part inventory system software companies. Four bids
were received. Streetwise Equipment Manager by Public Service
Computer Software, Inc. submitted the low bid for $3,995.00. The
bid includes the equipment/vehicle cost control and repair part

Optional bids for supplying computer hardware were received from
some of the fuel and equipment system vendors. We did not consider
those bids from which we are not selecting the software packages.
The Streetwise Equipment Manager bidder would meet the minimum
requirements of the combined software packages but doesn't include
a printer. In reviewing our needs, it is felt that in order to
meet future anticipated requirements, the computer hardware
submitted is slow and marginal and does not provide for any
expansion capabilities, therefore, we are recommending purchasing
off the State Contract a PC computer and printer. This has the
added benefit of being able to standardize our equipment as well
as maintain this equipment by the same vendor as all the other
computers in the City.
The equipment requested is a NEC SX 20 (80386 based, 20 MHz) 2 MB
DRAM, 42 MB hard drive, 14 inch color monitor with co-processor and
wide carriage printer. The cost of this equipment through the
State Contract is $3,934.00.
The following list is a summary of the costs discussed above:
l. New Bennett Fuel Pumps (3) ..
2. Petro Vend Chipkey Fuel System
3. Streetwise Equipment Manager/
Repair Part Inventory system .
4. Computer Hardware (State Bid).

The City Council identified $45,000.00 in the 1991 Capital
Improvement Plan to automate the fuel dispensing system and
computerize the equipment control/repair part inventory at the
Municipal Garage.
We recommend the City Council award the contract for the automated
fuel control system to Minnesota Petroleum Service, Inc. for the
Petro Vend Chipkey System for $12,386.02 and award the equipment
control/repair part inventory software package to Public Service
Computer Software, Inc. for the Streetwise Equipment Manager
including the training for $4,990.00. We also recommend the City
Council approve the purchase of computer hardware from the State
Bid for a total of $3,934.00.

MEMORANDUM
TO: William W. Burns, City Manager �j.� PW91-120
� �.
FROM: John G. F1ora,�Public Works Director
DATE: May l, 1991
SUBJECT: Justification Analysis for the Electronic
Automated Fuel Dispensing and Equipment
Control/Repair Part Inventory Systems
Security, cost control, economy, and accountability are the four
(4) main attributes of installing a micro-chip key automated fuel
dispensing and equipment control/repair part inventory system at
the Municipal Garage.
With the current lock system now in use, we feel that little fuel
is actually lost but there is very limited information available
as to the tracking of individuals fueling, vehicles fueled, and the
times of fueling. Also the current system can be easily
compromised when keys are lost. The micro-chip system tracks all
vehicles, people, times of fueling, limits the fuel and eliminates
the problem of the lost keys. A lost key can be immediately
programmed out of the system and a new key coded and issued. The
electronic system provides greater security, control, and data
acquisition for the fuel dispensing operations.
The current lock system requires personnel to read each of the 170
meters located at the pumps once a month to determine the fuel
quantities to be charged to the various departments. Al1 readings
are compared to the tank inventory and manually balanced each
month. The meter readings take approximately one-half hour just
to read and record at the pump site. Once all the readings have
been completed, it takes approximately 4 hours to calculate and
balance the fuel consumed. The control system data is entered via
the electronic chip key which then allows the system to generate
all the necessary readings and reports instantaneously and without
leaving the office.
In order to charge back fuel cost on a monthly basis, the Finance
Department needs the manually generated fuel and inventory reports.
The electronic fuel system will give the Finance Department the
�
•
�: �
�
Page Two - PW91-121
summary reports they require without any labor hours to manually
generate the inventories and costs. Depending on what
software/hardware the Finance Department purchases, the electronic
fuel dispensing fleet cost control system may be compatible with
the Administrative Systems Hardware and potentially the information
could be pulled electronically from the Municipal Garage to the
Finance Department at the Municipal Center.
The underground tank inventories are currently registered in the
office electronically by the Veeder/Root System. This system can
be incorporated with the electronic micro-chip fuel system.
Combining these two (2) systems will produce both tank inventories
and fuel consumption on a daily and monthly report. This will keep
a constant record of fuel and allow Public Works personnel better
control for ordering proper fuel deliveries which will result in
lower fuel and delivery costs to the City.
An equipment cost control/repair part inventory system can be
mutually instituted to control and report all costs associated with
each vehicle and piece of equipment. These systems keep track,
electronically, of every part, service, sublet, accident,
mechanic's labor, etc. A complete record of repair and maintenance
costs plus the interface with the fuel system gives an accurate
picture of the actual cost per mile or hour that vehicles and
equipment operate. Currently, minimal information is kept and
recorded manually by Public Works personnel because it is very
difficult to manipulate, use and analyze.
Repair part inventory control will improve the record of repair
parts received and distributed or stored. The system will help
reduce levels of stock inventories thereby reducing cost
expenditures and be helpful for ordering proper levels of parts
needed. This will improve cost accounting for the effective repair
part inventory levels which will ultimately reduce overall expenses
of the stock room operation.
The electronic micro-chip, equipment cost control and repair parts
inventory system provides the City of Fridley greater flexibility
and economy in regards to security and cost control as well as the
opportunity for generating and analyzing data for effective
equipment and vehicle replacement and management control for all
departments.

RE: SPRINGBROOR NATIIRE CENTER LANDSCAPING IN ENTRANCL AREA PROJECT
With the completion of the Springbrook Nature Center parking
improvements last year, the City is now ready to proceed with the
additional planned improvements to the Nature Center entrance area.
A landscaping and planting plan has been completed which
incorporates funding from several different sources.
The plan combines funds remaining in the tornado restoration
project, the previously scheduled irrigation system in entrance
area, landscaping around new parking lot, and tornado restoration
donations raised by the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation. The
tornado restoration project funds ($15,823) and the irrigation
dollars ($4,824) are encumbrances from the 1988 Naturalist Division
budget. The landscaping of the new parking lot area is in the 1991
Capital Improvements Program - Parks Improvement area with an
established amount of $7,000. The Springbrook Nature Center
Foundation has raised funds for tornado restoration at the park and
will contribute $2,353 towards this landscaping project. This
provides a total of $30,000 to complete the project.
Staff has worked closeZy with a landscape architect, the City
Planning Division, and the City Engineering Division to develop the
bid specifications.
I recommend that City Council approve the attached resolution
authorizing the advertising of bids on the Springbrook Nature
Center landscaping project. We would expect to bring the bid
results and recommendation to City Council on Monday, May 20th.
The schedule will allow the completion of this project during the
current spring planting season.
