FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A NEW CHAPTER OF THE CITY CODE OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY, CHAPTER 112, ENTITLED "FALSE ALARMS " AND�AMENDING CHAPTER 11 ENTITLED "GENERAL PROVISIONS AND FEES:" Mr. Dave Sallman, Public Safety Director, stated that the need for this ordinance came about when the Police Department compiled a report on false alarms. He stated that there were 1,300 such alarms over a twelve month period, and these take away from the police officers' time in defending the City. He stated the history has been that a few establishments have a lot of false alarms. Mr. Sallman stated that this ordinance would be imposed in the amount of $25.00 for each fals� alarm over five false alarms. He stated that there is an appeal process if someone felt an alarm was not false. It is also noted that lightning strikes, which can set off an alarm, are not counted. Councilman Schneider stated that the intent is not to send a message to people not to call the Police Department. Mr. Sallman stated that this is not the intent, and a number of cities have a policy that after three false alarms, a fine is imposed. FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 4 Mr. David Kutscheid, representing Dow Brands, 5601 East River Road, stated that he has some concern about this ordinance. He stated that there is no doubt that Dow Brands has a lot of alarms, as they have four hundred employees entering through eighteen doors. He stated that they have seven separate fire alarm systems. Some of the alarms are legitimate and some are not. He stated that they take action to correct the false alarms immediately. He stated that some of the intrusion alarms are set off in error by employees. Mr. Kutscheid stated that Dow Brands concern is that because of the amount of alarms at their facility, the fines imposed under this ordinance could be costly to the company. He stated that Dow Brands is concerned about safety and fire, and they work closely with the Police and Fire Departments. He stated that they do not have an intrusion alarm system to merely protect them against theft but to protect the City. Mr. Kutscheid stated that Dow Brands is a beauty manufacturing facility, and they have thousands of cases of aerosol cans in their warehouse. If the police do not respond immediately to an alarm, there could be a catastrophe caused by vandals. He explained about the case where a transient was injured and crawled into their building. If the alarm had not sounded, the transient would have bled to death. Councilman Billings asked, for example, if the situation described by Mr. Kutscheid involving the transient would be considered a false alarm. Mr. Sallman stated that it would not be a false alarm, as there was definitely a need for assistance. Councilman Billings stated that there were about 1,300 false alarms in the City over a twelve month period. He asked the amount of time involved to ascertain if it was a false alarm and to write the report. Mr. Sallman stated that two officers are always sent in this situation, and the time involved takes about one hour. Councilman Billings stated that based on 2,080 hours of work a year, the 1,300 hours it takes to investigate false alarms means that one officer could spend two-thirds of his time investigating these calls. He stated that if an establishment has more than five. false alarms, there is an appeal process. Mr. Sallman stated that the Police Department would notify the owner of every false alarm, and the owner would have the opportunity to submit an explanation. FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 15. 1993 PAGE 5 Councilman Billings stated that one of the reasons this ordinance is being recommended is that the City is constantly trying to streamline and economize to reduce unnecessary spending. Councilman Schneider asked if Dow Brands has security. Mr. Kutscheid stated that they have security on the first and second shifts. Councilman Schneider felt that what Mr. Kutscheid is asking is that the taxpayers subsidize the security for pow Brands on their third shift. Mr. Kutscheid stated that he could make the argument that Dow Brands is a large taxpayer in Fridley. He stated that they do not want to diminish the effectiveness of the alarms in any way. He stated that their emphasis is that safety is number one; and that includes safety for the employees, neighbors of Dow Brands, or people passing on the highway. Mr. Kutscheid stated that whenever there are mechanical failures of the alarms, it is fixed immediately. He stated that the real problem is human error, and most false alarms are intrusion. Mr. Kutscheid stated that Dow Brands is concerned about the fines, as they could be quite costly. Councilman Schneider stated that he did not want to diminish the effectiveness of their alarms. He wondered if it could not be handled through better employee education. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked how many calls there were to Dow Brands. Mr. Sallman stated that during a twelve month period, there were between twenty and thirty calls. Mayor Nee felt that Dow Brands should take responsibility for training their employees. Mr. Kutscheid stated that this is true, but it is difficult to train four hundred employees. He stated that their concern is that they do not want to be forced, because of economic conditions, to not have the City respond to an.alarm. He stated that even if an employee is assigned to respond to an alarm, he may not live within the area, and by the time he responds, there could be a major incident. Councilwoman Jorgenson suggested that the Police Department work with Dow Brands' security personnel and conduct some sessions with the employees. She felt that perhaps if the employees were tripping the alarms, they could contribute to the fund for paying the fine for these false alarms. FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 15. 1993 PAGE 6 Mr. Kutscheid stated that Dow Brands is concerned about safety. If they cannot operate safely, they would not do so. He stated that they could make the employees responsible, but there are some that do not care. He asked that the City consider the financial hardship this will cause for pow Brands. Councilman Schneider stated that his company has reduced their security personnel, and an employee set off a false alarm. He stated that this person received a warning that if this happened again, he would lose his job. Mr. Kutscheid stated that he would take these suggestions into consideration. MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to waive the reading and approve the ordinance on first.reading. Seconded by Councilman Billings. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. 6. FIRST READING OF AN �RDINANCE ESTABLISHING CHAPTER 128 ENTITLED "ABATEMENT OF PUBLIC NUISANCES" TO THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE• Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that the Council conducted a public hearing on this ordinance at their November 1, 1993 meeting. She stated that the ordinance gives property owners approximately three weeks to remove a public nuisance. If the owner does not remove the nuisance or request a hearing, the City abates the nuisance and assesses the cost against the property. She explained the hearing process and how a property_ owner can file an appeal to the City Council, if he is not in agreement with the decision rendered by the Hearing Examiner. Ms. Dacy stated that the City Attorney, Mr. Herrick, asked that several issues be researched. This will be done between now and the second and final reading of the ordinance. She stated that the issues were: (1) in event that proceeds from the sale of property taken through abatement actions exceeds the cost of the abatement, how would the City address the "profit" from this transaction; (2) if the City can conduct its abatement action immediately following the conclusion of its ordinance process regardless of whether or not the property owner intends to take legal action against the City; and (3) if the City refrains from performing abatement actions immediately following the formal process outlined in the ordinance to allow a property owner to file a legal appeal, how long should the City permit property owners to file such an appeal before performing the abatement work. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to waive the reading and approve the ordinance on first reading. Seconded by Councilman Billings. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 15, 1993 PAG$ 7 Councilman Schneider stated that this ordinance neither strengthens nor weakens the code but provides a faster means to resolve the nuisance abatement. Mayor Nee stated that under Section 128.04, Subsection 2, it is not clear whether this ordinance covers going into homes. Ms. Dacy stated that the ordinance does not include entry into single family homes. She stated that this could be clarified before the final reading. Councilman Billings stated that there must be a search warrant stated that the intent of this Constitution. the Constitution provides that to go into people's homes. He ordinance is not to violate the Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that Section 128.02 does refer to outside storage of equipment and materials. Councilman Schneider stated that as he read the ordinance, he shared Mayor Nee's concern, but the Constitution does protect the property owners' rights. He stated that he certainly would support clarification, as it is not the intent to go into homes. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that in the event there is a health hazard in a particular home, the City may want to enter the home. Ms. Dacy stated that this ordinance does not address a health hazard, and the City would work with Anoka County on such a problem. Mayor Nee suggested that the ordinance could be clarified at the time of the second reading. UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, all voted aye, and Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. 7. RECEIVE THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 17, 1993: • A.

Nee Secretary to the City Council Mayor Approved: 0 TO: WILLIAM W. BURNS, CITY MANAGER �' � � FROM: RICHARD D. PRIBYI,, FINANCE DIRECTOR PAUL S. HANSEN, STAFF ACCOUNTANT SUBJEGT: PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 1994 BUDGET AND 16 MILLS LEVY DATE: NOVEMBER 24, 1993 Attached is a copy of the 1994 Truth in Taxation Budget Public Hearing Notice which appeared in the Fridley Focus on November 23, 1993. This information is required by the Department of Revenue and fulfills the requirements as set out in the Truth and Taxation Legislation. I have also provided a copy of the Public Hearing Notice required by the charter when levying a tax in excess of 16 mills. These public hearing notifications serve to fill two requirements for the City of Fridley; (1) to fulfill the Truth and Taxation requirement, and (2) levy what appears to be a tax levy in excess of 16 mills. As you recall, past legislation caused a shift in Local Governmental Aids away from the cities and towards the school districts. This action caused the City to hold an additional Public Hearing for levying a tax which appears to be in excess of 16 mills. Due to formula change from mill levy to tax capacity rates it has been impossible to convert one to the other. So this public hearing notice satisfies the charter requirement that we hold a public hearing when we feel thax we are levying in excess of 16 mills. This Public Hearing will differ from the usual public hearings we have, in that this hearing will have �lwo topics; (1) the Public Hearing on the City of Fridley Bud�et, and {2) t�e Public Hearing to levy a taa which appears to be in ezcess of 16 mil�s. You might recall that the reasoning for this is that the main topic of the December lsf and December 13th Council Meetings is for consideration and approval of the budget For the Truth in Taxation hearing held in 1993 only, icvmpensation costs for the previous ye�tr, current year, and proposed budget must be presented for employees, consultants, and otiier indepond��tt contractors aiong with the effect of this increase or decrease on the talc levy. Prior to adjournment of the hearing the city must announce, the date, time and place for the subsequent hearing which will be December 13th if a continuation hearing is not necessary. RDP/me Attachment � .

The request is generally located at 500 - 73rd Avenue N.E. The Fridley Business Center Partnership is comprised of Northco and Jim Gray, owner of Quick File. Quick File is located in the manufacturing facility located on the subject parcel. Mr. Gray is choosing to remove his interest from the partnership and wants to own the property where Quick File is located. In addition to Quick File, Carter Day Company and Steinwall, Inc. are also located in the building. Site The subject parcel is a combination of vacant and occupied parcels. Located on one parcel are two buildings; one used for research and development, the other as a manufacturing facility. The property is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial, as are the parcels to the east and west. The property to the north is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling, and the property to the south is zoned P, Public. Analysis The proposed plat would create four parcels; two directly adjacent to 73rd Avenue with direct access onto 73rd Avenue, one adjacent to Northco Drive, and the fourth adjacent to 71st Avenue. The fourth parcel does not have access onto 71st Avenue as it abuts Locke Park. A 25 foot�"flag" will be created to provide road access to this parcel from Northco Drive. As proposed, the lots meet all of the minimum requirements outlined in the M-2, Heavy industrial zoning district regulations, including the minimum lot area of 1 1/2 acres and minimum lot width of 150 feet. The Engineering Department has indicated that an additional utility easement will need to be dedicated adjacent to the most northerly curve of Northco Drive. Two ten inch water lines intersect outside of the dedicated right-of-way and therefore a triangular utility easement needs to be dedicated on the plat (please see enclosed drawing). Recommendation As the proposed plat request meets the minimum M-2, Heavy Industrial standards, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request with the following stipulation: 2D Staff Report P.S. #93-04, by Fridley Business Center Partnership Page 3 l. An additional utility easement shall be dedicated on the plat as indicated on the attached drawing. Planning Commission Action The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request to the City Council as recommended by staff. City Council Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Planning Commission action. 2E � �� Wo -� Z ga � �` o � O r >-- ~ F- j U O Z O � � � Q 2 V i � Q L.i�.� VJ � W L �V \J �MI W O U _. � ...

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: Request The petitioner requests that the maximum square footage square feet to 70 square Highway 65 N.E. Site a variance be granted to increase of an institutional sign from 32 feet. The request is for 6180 Located on the property is a single story masonry building. There is a gymnasium and activity center connected to the main church facility. The property is zoned R-3, General Multiple Family Dwelling. The property to the east and north is zoned C-3, General Shopping Center District. The property to the west is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling. Analysis Section 214.05.06.A requires that all institutional signs not exceed a maximum size of 32 square feet in area. Public purpose served by this requirement is to control visual pollution by eliminating large and excessive signage. The petitioner recently processed a variance request to increase the amount of time a temporary sign may be displayed from two weeks to two years. The City Council was reluctant to approve the request as a"temporary sign". The Council noted, however, that the remaining properties at the intersection have larger signs because of commercial zoning. The Council also thought it was unusual for a church to be in a "commercial area". (See Council minutes.) The petitioner has since withdrawn its original request and has submitted a new variance request to increase the square footage of an institutional sign from 32 square feet to 70 square feet. If this request is granted, the petitioner will keep both the original brick sign which received a permit in 1978 and the. new sign which was recently installed. The petitioner has indicated that they need time to review the type of permanent signage they wish to display on the property and the type of inessage to be displayed. They have indicated a willingness to work within a two year timeframe, at the end of which they will either comply with the institutional sign requirements or apply for a new variance. . � Staff Report VAR #93-29, 6180 Highway 65 N.E. by St. Philip's Lutheran Church Page 2 At the request of the City Council, staff reviewed the address files for all the churches within the City. This research revealed that most churches are complying with the 32 square foot maximum. However, there are two churches that have two signs which exceed the maximum 32 square feet. These churches are VaZley View Christian Church and Fridley Covenant Church. Both have permanent monument signs of approximately 24 square feet and a second sign constructed of plywood or other temporary-type material of approximately 32 square feet in area. The Appeals Commission has reviewed two variance requests in recent years requesting an increase in the amount of institutional signage. These requests were to increase the signage to approximately 40 square feet. In reviewing these requests, the Commission has typically recommended denial and the requests have been withdrawn and the petitioners complied with the ordinance requirements. If the Appeals Commission approves the request, staff recommends two stipulations as conditions of approval: 1. The length of the variance is for two years. At the end of the two year period, the petitioner shall comply with the ordinance requirements or apply for a new variance. 2. The petitioner shall apply for a sign permit for a permanent sign as required by the City Code. This includes paying the $60 permit fee. Appeals Commission Action The Appeals Commission voted unan.imously to recommend denial of the request to the City Council. City Council Recommendation If the City Council approves the variance request, staff recommends the following stipulations as conditions of approval: � 1. The length of the variance is for two years. At the end of the two year period, the petitioner shall comply with the ordinance requirements or apply for a new variance. 2.

SAVAGE DECLARED THE 2. CONSIDERATION OF VARIANCE RE4UEST VAR #93-29. BY ST. PHILIP'S LUTHERAN CHURCH: Per Section 214.05.06.A of the Fridley Sign Code, to increase the size of an institutional sign from 32 square feet to 70 square feet to allow the existence of two signs on the property on Outlots 1 and 2, Block 2, Moore Lake Highlands, 4th Addition, generally located at 6180 Highway 65 N.E. MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Ms. Beaulieu, to open the public hearing. IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THS MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:39 P.M. Ms. McPherson stated this is a revisit of the temporary/permanent sign for St. Philip's Lutheran Church. The church is located at the intersection of West Moore Lake Drive and Highway 65. The property is zoned R-3, General Multiple Dwelling. The.property to the east and north is zoned C-3, General Shopping Center District. The property is to the north and west is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling. Ms. McPherson stated the Commission recently reviewed a sign variance request by the petitioner requesting a variance to increase the amount of time a temporary sign may be displayed from the permitted two weeks to two years. During its discussion of the variance request, the City Council was reluctant to approve the request as a temporary sign. However, the Council did note that the remaining properties on the other three corners of the intersection have larger signs because of their commercial zoning as opposed to the church's residential zoning. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner has withdrawn its original request and has modified and resubmitted a variance request to increase the square footage of an institutional sign from 32 square feet to 70 square feet. If this request is granted by the City Council, the petitioner will keep both the original brick monument sign as well as the new sign. The petitioner has indicated that 4J APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 9. 1993 PAGE 4 the church would like time to review the type of permanent signage they want to display on the property. They have indicated that they would be willing to work within a two year timeframe, at the end of which they would either comply with the institutional sign requirements or apply for a new variance request. Ms. McPherson stated that at the request of the City Council, staff reviewed all the address files and made site visits of other community churches. The results of that research were included in the staff report. Typically, most of the churches meet the 32 square foot maximum. However, two churches in the community exceed the maximum 32 square feet. Those churches, Valley View Christian Church and Fridley Covenant Church, have approximately 56 square feet of signage. Ms. McPherson stated the Commission has reviewed two variance requests in recent years requesting an increase in the amount of institutional signage. These requests were to increase the signage from 32 square feet to �0 square feet. The Commission has typically reconimended denial of these requests, and the requests have then been withdrawn and the petitioners have complied with the ordinance requirements. Ms. McPherson stated that if the Commission chooses to recommend approval of this request, staff recommends two stipulations: 1. The length of the variance is for two years. At the end of the two year period, the petitioner shall comply with the ordinance requirements or apply for a new variance. 2. The petitioner shall apply for a permanent sign as required by the includes paying the $60 permit fee. sign permit for a City Code. This Ms. Savage stated she did not see much difference between this request and the previous request. It still looks like they are dealing with a temporary sign. Ms. McPherson stated they are dealing with the sign that the petitioner first defined as temporary. The petitioner has now decided they would like to use this sign as a permanent sign for the next two years, while they use the two year timeframe as an opportunity to review comprehensive signage for the property, at which time they will either comply with the ordinance of 32 square feet or apply for a new variance. Ms. Savage asked if the Commission is supposed to treat this request as a permanent sign request; and, if so, why didn't staff do the usual analysis to the Sign Code? Ms. McPherson stated that, yes, the Commission should treat this request as a permanent sign request. Based on the Commission's and City Council's discussion of the previous variance request, staff made the decision not to use the typical standards set forth 4K APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 9. 1993 PAGE 5 in the Sign Code as part of the analysis of this request, to just present the facts, and let the Commission make its decision based on these facts. Dr. Vos asked the maximum square footage for signs in C-3 zoning. Ms. McPherson stated the maximum is 80 square feet. She stated the sign for the Moore Lake Commons Shopping Center did receive a variance. The sign, which is approximately 240 square feet, is used for both the east and west shopping centers. Ms. Jennifer Prasek stated she is the President of St. Philip's Lutheran Church. Ms. Savage asked why this variance is different than the original request. Ms. Prasek stated that the City Council felt very uncomfortable, and so ciid the Church, in calling this sign a temporary sign because they hoped to have the sign up for two years during their capital fund drive. In addition to reminding their members of the fund drive, the sign also serves as a welcome and invitation to the community to join them. The current permanent signage is really just a monument sign with only the church name which is just an identification sign. They know it is advantageous to let people know about service hours and to have a welcoming message. The monument sign does not have that capability. Mr. Kuechle s,uggested the church remove the existing brick sign; then the church would comply with the Sign Code. Ms. Prasek stated that is the reason for the variance for just two years. They do not wan� to tear down the existing sign and then find out later that they could incorporate it into a new sign with new lettering. They want time to study this in detail and do not want to rush into getting rid of that sign. Mr. Kuechle stated two years seems a little too long. He believed six months would be a little more reasonable. Ms. Prasek stated that if the variance was only for six months, then it would probably fall more in line with a temporary sign. This is really more of a perma�ent sign than a temporary sign because of the two year time period. Ms. Prasek stated the church certainly recognizes the need for new permanent signage, but they also recognize that would require a lot of input, study, and discussion. They do not want to rush that process. Dr. Vos stated he could sympathize with the two year timeframe. He understood where discussions might take that long. It is different with this kind of institution than a commercial business in making decisions. 4L APPEALS COMMISSION_MEETING, NOVEMBER 9. 1993 PAG$ 6 Ms. Smith stated this is certainly a unique situation. iier problem is that if they say yes to this variance, then what stops other churches from making the same requests? Mr. Prasek stated she believed Philip's has a very unique piece of property as a church in Fridley. They are second in square footage only to St. William's Catholic, another church located on the corner of 61st Avenue and University Avenue. With seven acres, they feel they are quite insulated from the residential areas around them. The signage is located on the highway, the same highway as all the commercial signage around them. They feel this sign does not look out of place in this area. MOTION by Ms. Beaulieu, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to close the public hearing. IIPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTZON CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:00 P.M. Ms. Savage stated she believed all the Commission members sympathized with the Church's need for larger signage. Th� problem is that she really did not see any difference between this request and the previous request which the Commission recommended denial. She would have a difficult time recommending approval without havinq more input about the analysis staff usually does for sign variances. The studies made by staff apparently show that other churches are conforming to the code. She stated the Commission cannot approve or recommend approval of a variance without a hardship or some unique circumstances that would warrant a variance. The Church did not report any hardship with their variance request, and she did not see how the Commission can recommend approval without a hardship. Ms. Prasek stated she apologized for not having stated a hardship in the request. The second request was put together fairly quickly and resubmitted to staff. Mr. Kuechle stated there seems to be some options for the petitioner. The church has the option of removing the brick monument sign or placing this sign over the monument sign. Because of different options available to the petitioner, he would be concerned about approving this variance request. Ms. Beaulieu stated the petitioner brought up St. William's which also has a lot of area, and St. William's has a 32 sguare foot sign. The staff report indicated that most of the churches in Fridley are complying with the Sign Code and that when two petitioners applied for larger institutional signage and were denied by the Appeals Commission, the petitioners complied with the Sign Code. Ms. Smith stated she agreed with Mr. Kuechle. There are other options available to St. Philip's. She stated she is uncomfortable 4M APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING. NOVEMBER 9, 1993 PAGE 7 with a two year stipulation as stated in the previous request and with this request. She is also concerned about setting a precedent if they recommend approval of this request. Dr. Vos stated the petitioner did mention the size of the St. Philip's property. Also mentioned by staff is the location, but there are other churches located in similar positions. Some of those do have signs larger than 32 square feet--one on University Avenue that is 56 square feet and one in a residential area that is 56 square feet. He also has a difficult time seeing the difference between this request and the previous temporary sign request. It is essentially the same request, only asking now to call it a permanent, temporary sign, rather than a temporary, temporary sign. He realized it will take some time for the Church's council to work through what they want to do as far as signage, but there seems to be more options than having two signs for two years. He stated he would vote to recommend denial. MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Ms. Smith, to recommend to the City Council denial of variance request, VAR #93-29, by St. Philip's Lutheran Church, per Section 214.05.06.A of the Fridley Sign Code, to increase the size of an institutional sign from 32 square feet to 70 square feet to allow the existence of two signs on the property on Outlots 1 and 2, Block 2, Moore Lake Highlands, 4th Addition, generally located at 6180 Highway 65 N.E.

The attached resolution requests a variance of the State Aid Rules as they apply to project approval so that appropriate funds for the signal improvements at 53rd, 57th, 69th, Osborne and 81st Avenues on Highway 47 (University Avenue), as well as the 53rd and 73rd intersections on Highway 6S (Central Avenue) can be obtained. Recommend the City Council approve the attached resolution so that we may process the funding variance request.
