PUBLIC HEARING ON THE ISSUANCE OF AN INTOXICATING LIOUOR LICENSE TO THE SHARX CLUB/SHARX SPORTS BAR GENERALLY LOCATED AT 3710 EAST RIVER ROAD.N.,E. (CONTINUED OCTOBER 3, 1994� (WARD 3): . Mayor Nee re-opened this public hearing at 7:40 p.m. Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, 'stated that the. Public Safety Director has been working with the City Manager regarding the issues of the teen and all age nights for this establishment. Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated he understood that Council's direction from the last meeting was for staff to prepare stipula- tions that might be used should Council wish to allow teen nights under this liquor license. ------- Councilman Billings stated that he and Councilwoman Bolkcom met with the Public Safety Director and City Manager to review the stipulations. He stated that these stipulations would only be used if Council decided they wanted to allow teen nights. He s,tated that staff's recommendation is that Council not allow teen nights at this establishment. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated.that the stipulations were drafted by the Public Safety Director if Council approves teen nights. She stated that the petitioner, Mr. DeFoe, has a copy of those recommended stipulations. Councilman Billings stated that at the last meeting, a motion was made for staff and he and Councilwoman Bolkcom to meet with the petitioner to draft some stipulations, however, the petitioner was not at the meeting. FRIDLEY CITY COONCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 17, 1994 PAGE 3 Mr. Burns stated he understood that the Council sub-committee was to meet with staff and the stipulations were to be shared with the petitioner. Therefore, he takes responsibility for not inviting the petitioner. Mr. Sallman, Public Safety Director,�state that the City�Council had never considered the issue of a"teen night" in a licensed establishment. The decision on this request would constitute a policy decision. Mr. Sallman stated that the issue is not Mr. DeFoe's character, but the Police Department is charged with the responsibility for the background investigation. He stated that Council has the authority to consider past liquor establishments that Mr. DeFoe has operated. He stated that Mr. DeFoe's establishment in Centerville, in 1993, had 75 police calls, including six assaults. He stated that, in comparison, the establishment which Mr. DeFoe wis�ies to occupy in Fridley had 27 police ca11s and five assaults. He stated that since Roper's was not in business in 1994, there is no compar- ison for this year; however, Mr. DeFoe's establishment in Center- ville had 101 police calls, including eight assaults. He stated that there are no establishments in Fridley that have a liquor license that even come close to this number of police calls. I�r. Sallman pointed out that Mr. DeFoe is operating in a different environment in Centerville, as Fridley does not allow topless dancing. Mr. Sallman stated that staff does not support the request for teen nights. He stated that some of the problems that arise in this environment are assaults, weapons violations, and under age drinking. He stated that as far as an all age night for those persons fifteen years old to twenty years old, there are different laws that apply to these age groups in regard to smoking,--�urfew, and relationships. He felt that it was an inappropri�te mix of ages. Mr. Sallman noted in M.S. 340A.503 that the City cannot prohibit any person eighteen, nineteen or twenty years old from entering a licensed establishment for the purpose of: 1. working 2. eating meals 3. attending a establishment social function in the portion of the where no liquor-is sold. Mr. Sallman also noted that it appears that the legislation recognizes two issues here. First that there is a difference between adults (eighteen years and older) and children (age seventeen and younger) and second that eating meals is different than some other activity such as a teen night. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 17� 1994 PAGE 4 Councilman Schneider asked the City Attorney if the City has the authority to place the proposed stipulations on the liquor license. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that Council has broad discre- tion in refusing to issue a liquor license. He stated it is his opinion that should Council decide to issue the liquor license, but want to place some conditions on the license, they have the authority to do so. He stated that the conditions have to be reasonable and based on some evidence that they will protect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the community. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that the Youth Outreach Worker, Mr. Thomas, was asked to review this request. She asked if he had submitted comments. Mr. Sallman stated that Mr. Thomas also felt the all age nights were an inappropriate mix of ages, as different laws apply t6��these age groups. Mayor Nee asked Mr. DeFoe if he has reviewed the proposed stipulations. Mr. DeFoe stated that he has received a copy. He felt that some of the stipulations are logical, and there are some he would like to discuss. He stated that it seems the number of police calls to his establishment in Centerville is a negative. He stated that ___- they call the golice for a lot of different things, and he felt that this should not be a negative aspect. He stated'that they have a good relationship with the police department, and the police department patrols the parking lot. Mr. DeFoe stated that teen nights are basically a good thing, as there is nothing wrong with dancing and socializing. He stated that all age groups are allowed to go to the beach and.�he_bowling alleys. He stated that teen night are just another function for teens to attend. Mr. DeFoe stated that he would propose that there be no liquor on the premises on teen nights, and he would like the group to be fifteen year olds to twenty year olds. He stated that he knows he could run a good establishment that would satisfy Council. Mr. DeFoe read letters from Tom Dario, a member of the Centerville City Council, and Gloria Newbauer in support of teen nights in Centerville. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that there was an article from a gentleman running for Council in Centerville that eluded to Mr. DeFoe's business and the numerous police complaints which gives their city a bad name. Mr. DeFoe stated that this particular individual complained when he had a ski show that the waves were coming up on his dock. He FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 17. 1994 PAGE 5 stated that he did not believe there was any law against "kooks�� running for office. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that she did not doubt that Mr. DeFoe has good intentions, but teens face enough challenges today and she felt the teen nights could not be closely supervised. Mr. DeFoe felt that he was offering a very closely supervised activity with no alcohol on the premises. Mr. Haluska, 5660 Arthur Street, stated that this location is the north anchor in a series of industrial bars. He stated that he is familiar with the problems these establishments bring to a community. He stated that these bars funnel youngsters into the community to drink and drive. He stated that he is not interested in supporting expanded police protection for this area, and he did not want the police acting as bouncers and parking lot supervisors for the bars. He stated that most of the teen drinking occurs in the parking lots. He stated that he hopes Council votes against the liquor license and teen nights. MOTION.by Councilwoman Bolkcom to receive the two letters submitted by Mr. DeFoe from Tom Dario dated October 17, 1994 and.Gloria Newbauer dated October 7, 1994. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. � __ MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to cTose 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 8:30 p.m. Councilman Billings said the ordinance states that the liquor license shall not be approved at the same regular me��i�� as the public hearing. � Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that Council cannot formally approve it, but they could give some informal indication if they were in favor of issuing the liquor license. . Mr. DeFoe stated that .regardless of teen night, it would be very important if he could obtain the liquor license because he would like to open in a few weeks. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if the liquor license could be rejected based on the statistics that were submitted regarding Mr. DeFoe's Centerville establishment. Mr. Herrick stated that this could be a factor that Council may want to consider. Mayor Nee asked Council to informally give their opinion on the issuance of the Ziquor license. FRIDLEY CITY COiTNCIL MBETING OF OCTOBER 17, 1994 PAGE 6 Councilman Billings stated that he would vote for the on-sale liquor license. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that she would not be in favor of a liquor license without stipulations, as she is against a teen night and all age night. Mayor Nee stated that he could support the liquor license with the stipulation as noted by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Councilman Schneider stated that before he received information on the police calls, he could support the liquor license with the stipulations prohibiting teen night and all age night. He stated that now, however, he would like a further breakdown on the type of police calls to Mr. DeFoe's Centerville establishment. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she could not support a-iiquor license for this establishment. Mayor Nee stated that Council would take formal:action on this request for a liquor license at the next regular Council meeting. 2. PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND CHAPTER 506 CHAPTER 128 AND CHAPTER 11 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE REGARDING PARKING OF LARGE COMMERCIAL VEHICLES ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY: MOTION by Councilman Schneider to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by;;Gouncil- woman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, M�yor 'Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at 8:38 p.m. Ms. Dacy, Community Deve�3°opmexxi,it..pirector, stated that this public hearing is to consider amendments to Chapter 506 of th�__Ci�y Code. She stated that more specifically, it is regarding proposed amendments to regulate large commercial vehicles on residential property. . Ms. Dacy stated that a large commercial vehicle is defined as a truck, truck-tractor, tractor, trailer, semi-trailer, or bus having a licensed gross vehicle weight over twelve thousand pounds. She stated that one large commercial vehicle having a licensed gross vehicle weight over twelve thousand pounds may be parked on pro- perty in any residential district provided it meets the following requirements: (1) the vehicle owner must reside on the property; (2) the property owner must obtain a permit prior to parking the vehicle on the property; (3) the vehicle shall be parked on a hard surface driveway; (4) noise from idling the engine or starting the vehicle shall not exceed the decibel levels provided for in Chap- ter 124 of the Fridley City Code; and (5) the permitted vehicle shall be parked at least ten feet from any prop�rty line. FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 17. 1994 PAGE 7 Ms. Dacy stated that recreational vehicles are exempt as well as school buses (that are parked or stored on church properties and used in conjunction with church-related activities), and large commercial vehicles parked at hotels and motels. She stated that the effective date for this amendment would be March 1, 1995, and violations of the ordinance could be abated under Chapter 128 of the City Code. Ms. Dacy stated that she received a number of comments, both pro and con, on this proposed ordinance amendment. She stated that the question was raised if the ordinance applied to boats and boat trailers but that is not the intent. She stated that in regard to the section requiring the permit, there was a concern that an owner may be able to park two different vehicles on the property with each havirig a 120 day permitted period. She stated that the intent was to limit the parking of one vehicle. Ms. Dacy stated that another issue was if_ the ordinance applied to vans. She-stated that vans weighing over twelve thousand pounds may be considered large commercial vehicles, and Council may want to consider adding the word "van" to the definitions of large commercial vehicles. Mr. John Zimmer, 4021 California Street, stated that he is totally against this ordinance. He felt that it was ridiculous and an extra tax on the people. He stated that his brother has a F350 truck and keeps it in his driveway to use for his work. He stated that it is a company truck he uses at the job sites, and it would __ be inconvenient for him to have to park the truck elsewhere. Mr. Jason Zimmer, 4021 California Street, stated that the truck to which his brother refers is a Ford F350, and it is over twelve thousand pounds with the forms loaded on the truck. He stated that� he uses the truck for transportation to work and the forms are used on the job. He stated that it should not be an extra burden for his boss to pay for a permit. _.____ _ Mr. Arnie Ostlund, 1453 64th Avenue, stated that he did not believe anyone could abide by the ten foot setback. Ms. Dacy stated that the concern was to make sure the vehicles were ten feet from the front property line. She stated that there were complaints about noise from vehicles in the side yard, and Council may wish to define from what property line, front or side. Mr. Ostlund stated that no one could afford to pay $300 a month to park in their own driveway. Mayor Nee stated that the purpose of the ordinance is to encourage the parking of large commercial vehicles in other places rather than residential areas. Councilman Billings stated that he was not in favor of the ordinance. He also suggested that due to the lengthy agenda, it FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF.00TOBER 17. 1994 PAGE 8 would be appreciated if everyone would restrict their comments to any new information that would be useful to Council. Ms. Kathleen Webber, 1371 75th Avenue, stated that she felt the ordinance was discriminatory against small business owners. She stated that the home occupation ordinance states that a business may have two additional vehicles. She stated that last year a letter was received from the City suggesting that they may be operating a printing business out of their residence. She stated that they have never had a printing business in their home. She � stated that they have gone out of their way to try to correct situations with their neighbors. Ms. Webber submitted a petition for Council to reject this proposed amendment. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to receive Petition No. 9-1994 submitted �by Ms. Webber. Seconded by Councilman Billings. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion Earried unanimously. Ms. Webber stated"that they looked for a place to park their trucks, but they have not been able to find a location that was satisfactory.and affordable. She stated that if they had their way the trucks would not be parked at their home, but at this time there is no reasonable alternative. She stated that the trucks parked in their driveway do not decrease property values, as two homes recently sold in their neighborhood for fair market value. -- She stated that the Department of Transportation controls the noise level for the trucks, and the State requires there be an additive. for diesel fuel to reduce the smell and exhaust fumes. Ms. Webber stated that she was told that commercial vehicles are not something expected in residential areas, but she questioned if motor homes, boats, and school buses are expected in residential areas. She stated that after the first meeting in Apr��:-,--a motel owner was told he would be exempt because it is his"Tivelihood. Ms. Webber stated that their trucks are also their livelihood. She requested that Council not pass this ordinance amendment. Ms. Webber stated that they have a 15,000 pound and a 26,000 pound truck, as her husband contracts with a printing company and hauls printing goods. Councilman Schneider asked Ms. Webber if their business was to grow and proposer and another truck was purchased, if they would also keep that truck at their home. Ms. Webber stated that they would not. Hopefully, if the business grew, they would find another location, but this would not happen overnight. She stated that she has statements from neighbors that they do not object to the trucks. Mr. Webber stated that he could take a 35 foot motor home and park it in his driveway and it would take the same amount of space as his trucks. FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 17. 1994 PAGE 9 Mr. Darrel Koopman, 5397 Altura Road, he stated that he has affi- davits from his neighbors that his truck is no problem. He stated that he has a semi-tractor that weighs 16,000 pounds. He stated that he pays a lot to the State for licenses and permits, and the City is now going to charge him $300 a month to park in his driveway. He felt that the City should enforce the laws that are on the books and fine those who do not comply. Mrs. Judith Koopman, 5397 Altu�a Road, stated that truck drivers are allowed a certain amount of driving time. She stated that if their truck was.parked elsewhere they would have to log the hours it takes to go to pick up the vehicle. She stated that this would cut into their working schedule. Mr. Bob Schewe, 1153 Mississippi Street, stated that he has a truck that measures 20 feet by 18 feet. He stated that he now pays $2,000 a year in taxes. If he has to obtain a permit to park the truck in his driveway, he felt that the owners of motor homes and boats should also be required to obtain a permit. Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Schewe if he knew if other drivers took their trucks home or where they parked them. Mr. Schewe stated that he has a friend in Coon Rapids that takes the truck home. He stated that there may be an ordinance in Coon Rapids, but it is not enforced. -- Ms. Dolores Kastensen, 1541 Rice Creek Road, stated that she feels this is a zoning problem. She felt that this amendment regulates commercial vehicles where none has previously existed. She stated that the residential zoning brings reasonable expectations, and this does not include large rigs in the yards. She stated that the heart of any community is their residential areas. In 21 surroun- ding communities, none are as liberal to truck op�r--�tors as Fridley. She stated that owners have investments in residential property and should not have to put up with a constant industrial environment. Mr. Curt Barsness, 6581 Central Avenue, stated that he is not di- rectly affected by this ordinance amendment. He stated that many people attended the last meeting who had recreational vehicles and who spoke against this amendment. He stated that he has heard nothing that suggests the trucks create any health or safety risk. He felt that the real intent of the ordinance was to remove a small group of truck owners and operators from the community. He stated that he is not in favor of the ordinance. He felt that there must be a way of solving neighborhood problems without driving people from the community. He believed that people should have their trucks an the property. A buffer may be necessary between the neighbors, but he cannot see giving them no other alternative than to Ieave the neighborhood. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 17 1994 PAGE 10 Mr. Gary Phillips, 531 Mississippi Street, stated that he has been in the towing business for twenty years, and he parks his vehicle at his home. He stated that his neighbors do not have any problem with it. He stated that it would be hard to offer 24-hour service if he could not park his vehicle at his home. He stated that he considers his truck an emergency vehicle, and he felt that it also should be exempt. He stated that his truck is licensed at 21,000 pounds. He stated that if he had to obtain a permit, he would not be able to remain in business. Mr. Bob Calderon, 6401 Central Avenue, stated that he has a truck that is 18 feet long and weighs batween 12,000 and 13,000 pounds. He stated that this is his roving office. If it would cost him $800 per month with the new ordinance to store the vehicle, he could not afford this expense. Mr. Henry Zimmer, 4021 California Street, stated that he did not think this amendment would mean justice for all. He stated that his son depends on his truck for his work, and he felt his son should have the right to park it in the driveway. Mr. Zimmer stated that he would like persons to contact him for a lawsuit against the City if this ordinance aMendment is approved. Mr. Mervin Herrmann, 278 Mercury Drive, stated that he agrees with the comments that have been made because he was once in the truck- ing business. He asked if recreation vehicles were affected by -___. 'this amendment. Ms. Dacy stated that recreation vehicles are exempt from this proposed ordinance amendment. Councilman Schneider stated that if this ordinance amendment was adopted, as far as parking on the street, it would be no different than the ordinance now in effect. He stated that this__�mendment states that recreational vehicles are exempt from obtaining a permit. Ms. Janet Langner (speaking for Lester Chies, 1530 Rice Creek Road) stated that she understands the City receives only seven or eight complaints a year on this issue, and she cannot understand why so much time has been spent to change this ordinance. She stated that people should evaluate the neighborhood when they move into it and, if there are legal conditions that exist, they should either adjust to them or leave the neighborhood. She felt that this whole issue revolved around two neighbors, and she did not think the whole City should be punished for only a few complaints. She stated that her father, Les Chies, is willing to get rid of one of the trucks, and there is not a problem keeping it within ten feet of the property line. Mr. Robert Hartwig, 4921 3rd Street, stated that he lives in an apartmerit complex and owns a 19,500 pound semi-tractor trailer. FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 17, 1994 PAGE 11 He stated that he parks this semi-tractor next to the apartment building on the street, and none of the neighbors have complained. He stated that if he took this tractor to the yard where he works, it would mean a sixty mile commute. He stated that it is too costly to find a place to park this tractor. If this ordinance amendment is approved he would have to move out of Fridley. He stated that he understands the City received a letter from the Minnesota Trucking Association urging Council not to approve this amendment. MOTION by Councilman Billings to receive the letter dated October 13, 1994 from the Minnesota Trucking Association. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to amend the above motion to include the receipt of letters from Charlotte Halpin of the Farmers Insurance Group dated October 13, 1994 and Shirley Switzer--dated October 12, 1994. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE MAIN MOTION, all.voted aye, and Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Robert Miller, 6293 Jackson Street, stated that he is a plumbing and heating contractor, and he cannot afford the extra __ expense to store his vehicle. He stated that the vehicle is licensed at 18,OOD pounds. He felt that the City shouid enforce the noise and pollution ordinances. He stated that he would not be able to respond to his customers in a timely fashion if he had to keep his vehicle at another location. Councilwaman Jorgenson stated that other plumbing and heating contractors in other communities are not allowed to__park their vehicles in their driveways. She felt that Mr. Miller probably has an advantage from those in surrounding communities who cannot respond as quickly to their customers since their vehicles are not parked in their driveways. Mr. Rich Olson, 1660 Mississippi Street, stated that he is a plumber and has two vehicles at his home rated at 15,000 pounds. He stated that he performs emergency services and needs this size vehicle in order to respond to emergencies. He stated that he is not in favor of this ordinance amendment. Mr. Joe Nelson, 1357 64th Avenue, stated that there are two com- mercial vehicles on his street where both of the owners are very responsible. He felt that this ordinance would be discriminatory against them, and he asked Council to vote against it. Mr. Dennis Oswald, 6330 Quincy Street,-stated that he does not own a large truck, but he has friends who have a large commercial FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 17. 1994 PAGE 12 vehicle. He stated that he has a motor home, and it is no dif- ferent than a big truck. He felt that the permit was very unfair, and he stated that he was speaking for a lot of truck drivers that could not be here this evening. Mr. Darwin Voight, 6750 Main Street, Fridley Bus Company, stated that this_ordinance amendment proposes that no permit sha11 be valid unless it is clearly visible from the public right-of-way. He stated that if he wants to park a commercial vehicle on his property it has to be screened, and in this amendment it has to be visible in a residential area. He stated that he would recommend that school buses be exempt. Councilman Schneider stated that screening was discussed, but it was felt that it would be prohibitive for most people. Mr. Olson, 1660 Mississippi street, stated that screening v�icles in a driveway would limit visibility. Mr. Ronald Heikkila, 1371 Skywood Lane, stated that the City is asking for $300 a month from his income to pay for a permit. He stated that his home is 150 feet from the street. None of his neighbors have complained about his truck, and no one even notices it is in the driveway. He stated that he is totally against the ordinance amendment. He stated that the City is forcing hard working people to move out vf the City. -__ Mr. Robert Gideo, 5372 6th Street, stated that the City of.Columbia Heights has a 15,000 pound weight limit. He felt that the ordinance amendment was ridiculous. He stated that his 1993 Ford dump truck weighs 51,000 pounds and is worth more than his home. Mr. Anthony Pikus, 4036 Main Street, stated that he is against this ordinance amendment. He stated that he has a van that he has been parking in his driveway for thirty years. He stated.�that if he parks this vehicle away from his residence and anything is stolen, the insurance company would not cover the loss. Nlr. Clarence Theisen, 111 63rd Way, stated that he is against the ordinance, and he would like any reference to travel trailers removed from this ordinance amendment. Mr. Don Gonko, 1361 75th Avenue, thanked Council for taking time to stop by his home to observe his neighbors' trucks that he had taken photos of last April. He stated that he looks at recrea- tional vehicles in an entirely different light, as they are not driven in and out of the driveway day in and day out, 365 days a year. He stated that these trucks were not in his neighborhoo.d when he moved into his home. He stated that he moved into his home on the cul-de-sac where it would be quiet but this is no longer the case. He stated that he is in favor of the ordinance amendment. He stated that he did not complain when his neighbors had one truck but did so when there were two. FRIDLEY CITY CQONCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 17, 1994 PAGE 13 Mr. Gonko stated that at the April 18 meeting, Councilman Billings mentioned a valid point that if someone driving a large commercial vehicle was visiting in Fridley, where would they park? He felt that this issue should be taken into consideration to cover this type of situation. Mr. Willard Kastensen, 1541 Rice Creek Road, stated that Fridley has seventeen thousand residential homes. Any home can have trucks as.long as they are licensed and parked off the street. He stated that vans and recreational vehicles are family oriented and used for recreational purposes and should not be compared with large commercial vehicles that are used for business purposes. He stated that there are twenty neighboring communities that do not allow trucks in a residential area. He stated that there was reference that there were only seven or eight complaints a year against large commercial vehicles. He stated that there were many calls but only these were enforceable. He stated that in his work, he has'�o pay for parking. Persons in the trucking business should know there is overhead. Councilman Billings stated that as he indicated earlier, he is opposed to this ord�,nance amendment. He stated that this particu- lar amendment does not make provisions for truckers who are visi- ting in the City. He stated that he understands the motivation for this amendment is that the vehicles are unsightly. He stated that he is not proposing that recreational vehicles be included, but he -- personally finds a 35 foot recreational vehicle just as unsightly as the vehicles that are being banned by this ordinance amendment. Councilman Billings stated that another concern is that there are a number of vehicles that are commercial in nature that people bring home from their work, such as pickup trucks and vans, some of which are rusty and have items hanging all over the outside. He stated that this would be permitted under this ameradment, but those who have a larger vehicle so that they can keep items out of sight would not be permitted to bring it to their home. Councilman Billings stated that the ordinance amendment addresses two particular pieces of property where there have been multiple complaints. He stated that it does not address visual and noise pollution. MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson 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 10:40 p.m. Councilwoman Jorgenson felt that the ordinance amendment needed more work and fine tuning, as several issues were brought up this evening. She stated that she appreciated everyone coming to the meeting. FRIDLEY CITY COITNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 17. 1994 PAGE 14 Councilman Schneider stated that he also felt more work needed to be done. He stated that the intent of the proposed ordinance amendment was not to qenerate money for the City nor was it inten- ded to drive individual truckers or over-the-road truckers out of the City. He stated that the calls he receives are about multiple trucks in people's yards. He stated it is alleged that in some cases, the drivers are running the trucks for a particularly long time. He felt that this proposed amendment needed further study. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that she is not sure this amendment would eliminate some of the problems. She stated that there is nothing in the ordinance relating to noise and smells, and she is not sure this amendment would take care of some of the issues. She felt that, basically, people have to get along with each other. Mayor Nee stated it is his understanding that Council does not wish this item to be on the agenda for the next meeting. `"- RECESS• RECONVENED• Mayor Nee called a recess at 10:50 p.m. Mayor Nee reconvened the meeting at 11:00_p.m. All members of the Council were present. 2.1 PUBLIC HEARING ON ASSESSMENT FOR 1994 SERVICE CONNECTIONS: MOTION by Councilman Schneider to waive the reading of the public --- hearing notice and open the public hearing.

Mr. Mark Schwartz, 1372 64th Avenue, stated that they have more water in their yard now than they had before this improvement. He stated that he felt the holding pond was not deep enough. � Mr. Schwartz showed a video tape of his yard, in April, a'�ter a rainstorm. He stated that he has not received any benefit from this project, and it has proven detrimental to his property. Mr. Schwartz stated that he made a good faith effort to get this situation corrected. He stated that Jon Thompson from the City staff stated that they definitely had a problem. Mr. Schwartz stated that he talked with Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, and he thought the holding pond was not deep enough but nothing was done about it. He stated that they not only have more water, but --� it stays in their yard for a longer period of time. He stated that the water from the north side of 64th Avenue has simpl.y been trans- ferred to their back yard. Councilman Schneider asked if there was ever standing water in the back yard. Ms. Jean Schwartz stated that there was some standing--water, but it never covered this much area and was gone within a'day. She stated that the water was over her ankles when she took the video. She stated that they taiked to several people from the City to try to get this fixed. Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that this is a separate problem. He stated that the ditch is dry, and the pond is working as it should to deal with the excess water from Mississippi Street. He stated that when there was a large amount of rainfall in April, there was a lot of flooding throughout the City. Ms . Schwartz stated that they have never had this much water before this improvement project was done. Mr. Rich Olson, 1660 Mississippi Street, stated that there was natural drainage in this area, and there was no reason that the Schwartz's property should be flooded. FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 17, 1994 PAGE 17 Mr. Flora stated that there was nothing done on the north side of the ditch, and all the work for the detention pond was on the south side. He stated that in the Schwartz's case, there is no outfall from their property to run into the ditch. Ms . Schwartz stated that the pond is higher than the ditch, and that is why it does not work. She stated that the improvement has obviously been detrimentaZ to their property. Mayor Nee stated that this issue has to be dealt with, but it will take further review and a report from staff.

He felt that with the explanation that the total amount would be $100,000, it could be broken down between the sub-categories as long as the total eguals $100,000. Ms. Dacy stated that one of the staff inembers has been working on this; however, the dollar figures were not filled in. She stated that she is comfortable with the agreement and probably a solution wouid be to refer to the engineer's estimate dated October 7, 1994 that gives all the details for the improvements. Councilman Schneider stated that the figures sound extraordinarily low. I FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 17. 1994 PAGE 25 Ms. Dacy stated that it is a very short cul-de-sac being less than 350 feet. Councilman Billings stated that as he reads the agreement, it states that the breakdown is for historical reference and is not a restriction on the use of the security. He stated that from a practical standpoint, the allocation of $100,000 is actually almost irrelevant. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to approve the development agreement between the City and Royal oaks Realty, Inc. and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into the agreement, with the under- standing that the amount of $100,000 will be filled in under Item 17 on Page 13 and the appropriate figures broken down by categories, and inserted on Page 14 of the agreement.

Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Councilman Billings stated that he was curious as to what happened at the special Council meeting and why an item was so urgent that a special meeting had to be called ta discuss it. He stated that he wanted to know why he was not made aware, until the morning of the meeting, exactly what was to take place at that meeting. He stated that he was led to believe that it was a discussior�- with Kevin Thomas, and more than half the meeting centered around the curfew center. Councilman Billings stated that due to the time and short notice, he and the residents of Ward 1 were denied an opportunity to parti- cipate, and he strongly objects. He stated that he does not believe it had to be called on that short notice and, from the video tape, which at best was a lousy sound presentation, it would appear that direction was definitely implied, if not given to staff, to establish funding in the budget for a curfew center. He stated that he strongly, strongly objects to his beinq eliminated from the process. He stated that he would like to know who called the meeting, if it was three members of the Council or if it was the Mayor. Councilman Schneider stated that he read in the City Manager's report that the discussion meeting with Kevin Thomas__was being postponed and that two Councilmembers wished to talk with him. He stated that he called the City Manager and stated that he would change his schedule, as he would like to attend the meeting. He stated that since there would be three Councilmembers, he asked if they could call a meeting. He stated that the intent was not to exclude anyone but to make it permissible fox him to attend. Councilman Billings stated that it really was not a special meeting of the City Council. Councilman Schneider stated that he did not perceive it as a special meeting but instead a discussion session. He stated that he does not question when a member of the Council stops at the Municipal Center during the day. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she had no idea there would be four Councilmembers attending. She stated that the City Manager asked her if she could attend with Councilwoman Bolkcom. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 17, 1994 PAGE 31 Councilman Billings asked how four Councilm�mbers set aside money for a curfew center. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that there was discussion regarding the grant application and, if it was not approved, if there would be interest in proceeding and if there would be something that the Council could possibly support. She stated that she did not feel any direction was given that funding would be supplied. Councilman Schneider stated that there was a strong indication that four CounciZmembers would support that funding. He stated that it was suggested it would need to be discussed when the budget is considered. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that Council kept delaying the meeting with Kevin Thomas, and she asked if there was any way it could be scheduled sooner. �� Councilman Schneider stated that the discussion with Kevin Thomas started at a picnic at the Rice Creek Townhomes. He stated that this probably was not the most appropriate place for the discus- sion. However, it sparked his interest on things that the City could be doing, and he was interested in having further discussion with Mr. Thomas. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that members of the Council were talking at the picnic what could be done to get things started. Mayor Nee stated that Councilman Billings is justified in being upset. He stated that when he heard about the meeting and heard that there were only three Councilmembers attending, he thought he would like to attend. Councilman Billings stated that the telephone message he_received did not indicate that there was going to be any discussion of the curfew center. He stated that the first he was aware that there would be that many Councilmembers at the meeting was at 7:45 a.m. on the day of the meeting. He stated that he could not adjust his schedule because he had already changed it for the Sharx discussion. He stated that he will be asking the Charter Commis- sion to review the City Charter to determine how to prevent these kinds of things from happening. He stated that he will be asking the County Attorney or Attorney General for an interpretation of the three-day notice. He felt that the three day notice of the meeting, posted at 5:00 p.m. on Friday night, and with the Municipal Center being closed on the weekend, does not really constitute a three-day notice when the public did not have access to this notice. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that the notices are posted in the window at th.e Municipal Center. FRIDLEY CITY COONCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 17, 1994 PAGE 32 Councilman Schneider stated that Councilman Billings should probably talk to the Charter Commission; however, the situation has often been reversed. He stated that there are those that have access to City employees every day and obtain information that he does not receive. He felt that it helps the whole community because the Council works pretty well together, and information is shared. Mayor Nee stated that Councilman Billings is correct in not coun- ting the weekends and a�mistake was made. He stated that he is not sure how the discussion on the curfew center began. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that it was part of the memorandum given to Council by the Police Department in Council's packet. ADJOURNMENT• MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to adjourn the meeting.

F1ora,�Public Works Director DATE: November ?, 1994 SUBJECT: East River Road Reconstruction - Hartman Circle to Glen Creek Road The Anoka County Highway Department proposes to upgrade the segment of East River R.oad between Hartman Circle and Glen Creek R,oad next spring. This project will include reconstruction of the asphalt surface, center medians, turning lanes, traffic signal improvements, EVP signals, storm sewer installation, concrete curb and gutter and a bituminous bikeway/walkway plus miscellaneous improvements to the esristing _ infrastructure. Z`he City policy on improvements has been to assess for concrete curb and gutter where none has previously been made. For this portion of East River Road there has not been any assessments for roadway improvements. The 1995 estimate of concrete curb is $9 per front foot. There are 45 properties that front on East River Road, which are proposed to be assessed for the conerete curb and gutter at a figure not-to-exceed $9 per front foot. JGF:cz Attachment 1 � •i► •.

CHAPTER 513 The first reading of the revised city ordinance (Chapter 513) was held on October 17th: Attached is the ordinance to be presented for a second reading on November 7th. The current city ordinance (Chapter 513) limiting use of skates on tennis courts and other areas uses a trademark name, Rollerblade, rather than the generic term for the products called in-line skates.

CONSIDERATION OF A LOT SPLIT, L.S. #94-06, BY DAVID STEWART: To split Lot 3, Block 2, Sexter Addition, City of Fridley, Anoka County, Minnesota, into two parts: _____ _ Parcel A: the south 35 feet of Lot 3, Block 2, Sexter Addition; and Parcel B: that part of Lot 3, Block 2, Se�er Addition, lying north of the north 35 feet of said Lot 2, This property is generally located at 5720 Po1k Street. Mr. Hickok stated the first three items are related. The lot split involves the property at 5720 Polk Street N.E. which is owned by the City. The City purchased the property as part of the Polk Street improvement which required additional right-of- way to be acquired. In 1992, a house was on the site. Because the additional right-of-way took enough of the site, the City purchased the entire site and demolished the house. Mr. Hickok stated the lot split involves the southern 35 feet 0 PLANNING COMMI88ION MEETING OCTOBER 19. 1994 PAGE 2 across the entire southern edge of the property as it abuts the Moore Lake Apartment property to the south. Mr. Stewart, the petitioner, is one of the owners of the Moore Lake Apartment complex, and this lot split is being proposed to add to the current parking for that site. Originally, there were 70 parking stalls planned with the apartments. At the time the buildings were constructed, 64 parking spaces were required. With time and two income households using two cars.per family, it would increase the demand and number of spaces required. Our current standards would require 109 spaces for a complex of this size. With the complex pre-dating this requirement, it leaves cars parked on Lynde Drive. The petitioner has discussed this problem with staff and the City Council. The City Council asked staff to look at this and evaluate some alternatives. Mr. Hickok stated staff and the petitioner have discussed alternatives. Originally it was felt there may be an opportunity to purchase not only a portion of the City property but also property to the west owned by Mr. and Mrs. Gilstad and_that owned by Pure Oi1 Company. At that time, neither the Gilstads nor Pure Oil Company were willing to sell property; therefore, this parking lot e}cpansion would accomplish some of what the complex owners are after and would certainly help the parking along Lynde Drive. The construction of this parking area would allow 15 spaces on the property. As 15 spaces are created, some other spaces will be replaeed. The net gain.is approximately 8 parking spaces. Mr. Hickok stated the lot split leaves a portion of the property to the north to be retained by the City whicli would accommodate a single family dwelling. The minimum lot size in this R-1 district is 9,000 square feet. With the potential sale of 5,705 square feet, there remains a lot that exceeds the minimum standard for both width and depth. Mr. Hickok stated staff recommends approval of the lot split with the following stipulations: 1. The 35' x 140' parcel adjacent to the Moore Lake Apartment complex shall be utilized for the parking expansion indicated on the site plan and shall be landscaped/screened according to Section 205.07.O1.C.(7). 2. The new 35'x 140' parcel shall be consolidate8 with the Moore Lake Apartment site as one tax parcel. 3. Special Use Permit, SP #94-16, and Variance request, VAR #94-26, shall be approved. MoTION by Mr. Sielaff, seconded by Mr. Saba, to receive the letter of October 17, 1994, from Councilmember Billings regarding . � PLANNING COMMI88ION MEBTING OCTOB$R 19. 1994 PAGE 3 the property at 5720 Polk Street. IIPON A VOIC$ VOT$, ALL VOTING AYE, THE MOTION CARRIED QNANIMOQSLY. l��1�1Vic`,`���s[��,`�:�i] Mr. Newman stated Councilmember Billings states in his letter that, first, selling or leasing the entire parcel would be a major fix of the parking problem; second, splitting the property creates a need for additional variances; and third, the reason for the adjacent zoning change to R-1 would eliminate the possibility of Union 76 building a combination fast-food/gas station. Mr. Hickok stated, in response to the first comment, the proposal is to split off the southern 35 feet. In previous City discussions includi.ng City Councilmembers, the interest was-in retaining as much of that property as possible while still allowing some relief, if possible, to the apartments to the south. It was felt that in the early discussions, for the residents on Polk Street, this would be an appropriate solution. After purchasing the property and demolishing the original house, the potential of construction of a new house with some relief for the apartments would be there. If the Commission prefers, staff could do an analysis on what the gain would be in using the entire site. The circulation would need to be laid out, and staff would need to see how many spaces could be available on the site. Staff's understanding of t2ieir direction was that the southern 35 feet would be most appropriate. Mr. Hickok stated, in response to the second comment regarding the need for additional variances, the Appeals Commission reviewed this item at their meeting of October il, 1994, and the Appeals Coiamission recommended the variances. One var-3�nce reduced the setback from the west lot line of this 35 foot strip from 10 feet to 0 feet. Mr. Newman stated this is a side yard setback�and to eliminate that setback could eliminate one parking space. Mr. Hickok stated this was correct. Mr. Hickok stated a variance reduced the setback from 10 feet to 5 feet along the northern portion of the parking area to allow standard depth parking stalls of 20 feet and allow enough room. for the required screening fence and landscaping. Mr. Newman asked why they reduced the setback to 5 feet rather than taking another 5 feet from the lot so no variance would be necessary. Mr. Hickok stated.in doing this the remaining property would be •= FLANNING COMMI88ION MEETING OCTOB$R 19. 1994 PAaE 4 less than the minimum standard. Leaving a standard lot was important. The City could have set firm with a 75 foot lot and� given them 2 additional feet. They did not do this so 5 feet was requested. Mr. Hickok stated, along Polk Street and in order to allow for another parking stall, a variance was requested to reduce the setback from 35 feet to 20 feet. In order to accomplish that, staff has made a recommendation to landscape along the street side of the project in order to soften the impact of that parking staff . Mr. Newman asked if there was a need for more parking than what is provided in this lot split. Mr. Hickok stated, according to the code, a modern day complex of this size would require 109 spaces. If you were to determine the needs based on the demand in that area, one would look at the cars parked along Lynde Drive. According to windshield.surveys and reports from the complex, about 15 cars are parked on the street on any given day. With the creation of 15 stalls, it is getting at the problem but not solving the problem. Mr. Newman asked if taking all of the property on Polk Street and turning it into a parking would be too much. -- Mr. Hickok stated it was possible. Staff can do an analysis to see how many stalls they could get and what the circulation would be. Mr. Hickok stated Councilmember Billings refers to the rezoning to R-1 which would require a future buffer zone. In the C-1 and commercial districts in general it states that "permi��-ec� buildings and uses, except automobile parking anc� loading spaces, driveways, central services, walks, planting spaces, shall not be closer tv the boundary line of any adjacent residential district than 30 feet to allow for plantings, buffers, and screening." In the comments regarding rezoning, there is concern about the 30 foot buffer. If Union 76 wishes to do certain things, they would have that issue to deal with on a rezoning to a residential site to the east. Mr. Newman asked what the current setback is. Mr. Hickok stated, because the property behind them is commercial, the commercial property could have a 0 lot line if the other property was involved. There is more flexibility if the property remains commercial. That certainly is an issue the Councilmember is pointing to in the letter. Mr. Saba asked if the City has tried to•sell the property at 5720 sC PLANNING COMMISSION M88TING OCTOB$R 19, 1994 PAGE 5 Polk Street before. Mr. Hickok stated no. He believed this to be the first discussion. Mr. Newman asked, with the lot split, will the remaining parcel to the north meet the minimum requirements for a residential lot. Mr. Hickok stated yes. The lot would actual exceed the minimum requirements. Mr. Newman asked, with the dimensions, can someone build a single family home without a variance. Mr. Hickok stated yes. This is a nicely situated site-with some mature vegetation. -� Ms. Savage stated there is a very large tree on the site. Is that on the portion being considered to be sold?. Ms. McPherson stated the tree is on the remnant piece that the City would retain. Mr. Sielaff asked the current zoning-on the lot and if the lot would need to be rezoned. Mr. Hickok stated the lot is currently zoned R-1. That is the reason for the special use permit which would.allow for parking on an R-1 property. Mr. Saba asked if the landscape plan is approved by the City. Ms. McPherson stated yes. The landscape plan was deveinged by staff. The petitioner has seen the landscape plan which is part of the variance approval as a stipulation. Mr. Saba asked if there was a date set for completion of the landscaping. Ms. McPherson stated she did not believe a date was set for completion of the landscaping. The stipulation aould be amended to indicate a date. Mr. Sielaff asked if the apartment owners were willing to pay for the entire lot. Does this have anything to do with whether they are willing to do so? Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner is present. This has not been discussed. Mr. Stewart, a managing partner of the Moore Lake Apartments, . � �LANNING COMMISSION MB$TING OCTOB$R 19. 1994 PAG$ 6 stated he could not add much to what had been discussed. With the expansion of the lot to the north, this will increase the. parking spaces and solve some of the problems. This will also add to the safety from the point of view of the fire chief, who is concerned about bringing equip�ent in the back. At the back of the building, the space is very tight. Currently, there are seven parking stalls which are very small and they had a difficult time with snow. The additional space will alleviate the problems of bringing in safety equipment, if needed, and make 18 staffs that are effective parking stalls. As part of the rezoning, they will have the ability to contain snow on that easement portion of the property. Mr. Stewart stated he had talked with the City about buying the lot and maintaining the lot, but the City wanted to ke�� it for a single family home and were concerned about the large tree.-�� It would also require access on Polk Street. Our present plan does not provide access to Polk. Mr. 5ielaff asked if he had interest in acquiring the entire lot. Mr. Stewart stated, from an economic point, he was not sure how many stalls wauld be created. He was not sure it would solve the problem. Unfortunately, everyone now has two cars. The City has granted relief by allowing some parking on the street and he -- would like to see that mairitained. The addition of these stalls will make a major difference. It is also a matter of cQSt. Mr. Sielaff asked if Mr. Stewart thought there would no lo�ger be a need for on street parking. Mr. Stewart stated he thought this would solve the problem of residents. It is the guests of the residents that car�at-find spaces. When they received a reprieve from the City in June, they were given 6 to 9 months to come to some solution. They put up signs and brought out safety vehicles. To the best of his knowledge, there has not been a problem on the street. Ms. Savage stated the Appeals Commission voted unanimously to approve the request. It seemed to be a solution to the parking problem which did not adversely impaGt the neighborhood and was in keeping with the code. The stipulations were agreed to. She would be opposed to the use of the entire property for parking. One reason being that it would take away green space. That is a residential area. Turning that entire lot into a parking space would be detrimental. There is a large mature tree that is an asset which we should try to keep. The petitioner is not asking for more space and the solution proposed solves the parking problem, saves the green spaae, and keeps the residential character. She would be in favor of the lot split. � PLANNING COMMI88ION MEBTING OCTOB$R 19. 1994� � PAG$ 7 Mr. Saba stated he would like to see more parking if possible, but he did not want the entire lot used for parking for the same reasons as stated. He would be in favor of approval. Mr. Sielaff stated he agreed for the reason stated. Mr. Newman stated, as far as the variances go, one variance is to keep the remaining lot residential. He does want to get into the realm of the Appeals Commission, but it seems the City Councilmember raised issues we should address. As far as the lot split, it makes sense. MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to approve Lot Split, L.S. #94-06, by David Stewart, to split Lot 3, Block 2, Sexter Addition, City of Fridley, Anoka County, Minnesota, into two parts: - Parcel A: the south 35 feet of Lot 3, Block 2, Sexter Addition; and Parcel B: that part of Lot 3, Block 2, Sexter Addition, lying north of the north 35 feet of said Lot 2, This property is generally located at 5720 Polk Street, with the following stipulations: 1.

Company, north of the apartment complex,.and to the rear of Mr, Gilstad's dwelling located at 930 Haclaaann Avenue N.E. The request is to rezone the subject parcel from C-1, Local Business, to R-1, Single Family Dwelling. While the petitioner has been the same in all three requests, this request is not directly related to the other requests being processed by the petitioner. Ms. McPherson stated the rezoning request is a result_o� _ negotiations between the petitioner and the owner to obtain a snow storage easement along the north property line between the subject parcel and the apartments to allow snow storage for the apartment complex. Ms. McPherson stated, when considering a rezoning request, staff evaluates three criteria: • District compatibility with adjacent uses and zoning. • District intent. • Whether or not the parcel meets the district requirements. Ms. McPherson stated, in this particular area, the adjacent zoning includes R-1, Single Family Dwelling, to the north and east of the subject parcel; C-1, Local Business, to the west; and R-3, General Multiple Family, to the south. There are single s� PLANNINQ� COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 19. 1994 PAGL 11 family dwellings to the north and east, an apartment complex to the south, and a convenience/gas station use to the northwest of this area. Rezoning the subject parcel would be compatible with adjacent uses and zoning. Use of the property in its current zoning would be limited due to the shape and location of the property. The property is also land locked. Any development which would occur on this property would need to occur in combination with either property to the north or the property to the west to provide street access. Due to the current zoning configuration, the C-1 district ends at somewhat of an awkward location. By moving the zoning district line, it makes more sense. � Ms. McPherson stated, in terms of the district requirements, the subject parcel is currently vacant and measured 120' x-170' with an area of approximately.20,400 square feet. The property is land locked and does not have street access. This property should be combined with the owner's property to the north. Currently, there is a low spot in the southern portion_of the parcel that receives storrnwater run off from adjacent properties in the area. With the exception of the lack of access, the property does meet the minimum requirements of the R-1, Single Family Dwelling, district. Ms. McPherson stated, in terms of district intent, typically when • the City reviews rezoning requests, staff is looking at a specific site plan or a specific use. At this time, the petitioner and the owner are not interested in developing the property. In the future, any development plans for this parcel would be subject to the R-1, Single Family District, regulations. Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends approval of the request as it meets the criteria; subject to the owner combining-t�re-parcel with the parcel to the north as one parcel of record. Mr. Newman asked if the parcel directly to the north has a structure located on the property. Ms. McPherson stated yes. Mr. Newman stated, since the subject parcel is land locked, it would be hard to use it in cambination with the parcel to the north. Ms. McPherson agreed. Mr. Newman asked if this was necessary to accomplish snow storage. Ms. McPherson stated it was not a requirement of the City; however, it was the agreement between the petitioner and the 6J PLANNING COMMI88ION ME$TING OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 12 owner of the property. Mr. Stewart stated the reason for the request is an agreement with he and Mr. Gilstad. Mr. Stewart wanted to be able to move the fence off the property line. Currently, they cannot push snow in that direation. Mr. Gilstad has agreed to grant an easement to the partnership to allow us to build a fence across his property line, which will enable them to move the car bumpers to the property line to the edge of the asphalt and not hit the fence. They talked about putting the fence back 15 feet which would be adequate and will make the accessibility of traffia better. For that reason, he agreed to petition for rezoning as a means of allowing the partnership to have better access and a better ability to remove snow. Mr. Newman stated, from a design standpoint, what you are t�ying to achieve is admirable. If it is rezoned from a planning standpoint, it is difficult to rezone for single family uses. He thought they could utilize by moving the current structure. The difficult planning issue is that the property is land locked. It makes it difficult to rezone until he knows how it will be used. Mr. Gilstad stated he has been talking to staff in the last 10 years and they were already saying then the.y would like to see the property residential. The property is land locked. An -- easement was given to the property owned by Pure Oil and given to them. It is his intention for the property is to clean it up and join it with his backyard. .� Mr. Newman stated he could do that as the property is currently zoned. Mr. Gilstad agreed. Staff said they wanted the prope�t� zoned R- 1. The commercial zoning has no benefit to him. ge cannot sell the property because it is land locked. If joined to the property, he still owns it either way. Mr. Newman stated that, an effort to accommodate Council in the past. Mr. Gilstad stated yes. essentially, the request is being made in concerns raised by staff and the City MOTION by Mr. Sielaff, seconded by Ms. Savage, to close the public hearing. IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPSRSON NEWKAN DECLARED THL MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING CL088D AT 8t20 P.M. Mr. Sielaff stated it is an unusual request but he sees no reason not to approve it. 6K PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBBIt 19. 1994 PA(�E 13 Mr. Saba stated he has concerns about a land locked property in that it creates problems in the future. He did not know that the request would solve that. They may need to change the code to make it accessible. This may be the best use. It does solve two problems. At some point in time, they may have to go back and do something about it. Anytime there is a land locked property, there is a problem in the future. In light of that, he would be will to go along but he has reservations. Ms. Savage stated she would support approval. Mr. Newman stated he was opposed. On a land locked piece of property with no specific plan, he sees no reason to rezone. The property to the west is commercial. The property to the south is multi-family and one could say it might be part of the-multi- family. It makes sense to him to keep it as it is. Withou� a plan, it makes no sense to rezone. MOTION by Mr. Sielaff, seconded by Ms. Savage, to recommend approval of Rezoning Request, ZOA #94-03, by David Stewart, to from C-1, Local Business, to R-1, Single Family Dwelling, to allow parking and dumpster placement on the easterly I20 feet. except the northerly 135 feet of that part of Lot 1, Auditor's Subdivision #25, which is described as follows to wit: beginning at a point on the north line of said Auditor's Subdivision distant 221.7 feet east of the northwest corner thereof which point is aZso on the-centerline of Central Avenue, then•east on said north line a distance of 270.8 feet, then south a distance of 308.2 feet to a point on a line parallel with and 160 feet north of the most southerly line of said Lot 1 which point is 437.44 feet dzstant east from the centerline of Central Avenue, then west along a line parallel with and 160 feet north of the most southerly line of said Lot 1, 437.44 feet to the--�enterline of Central Avenue, then northeasterly along said centerline to the point of beginning and except the north 30 feet thereof said 120 feet to be measured along the north line of said Lot 1. This property is generally located West of 5720 Polk Street and north of Moore Lake Apartments; with the following stipulations: 1. This shall be subject to the owner combining the parcel with the parcel to the north as one parcel of record. Mr. Sielaff asked if the easement needed to be addressed. Mr. Hickok stated the easement is an issue between the property owners. Staff recommendation for the fence on the back of that easement was to allow for snow storage which is part of the parking issue. According to code, the fence would need to be nearly on the property line. This is saying is that it would be back beyond their private agreement so that he could do the snow storage. Easement language was tied directly into because staff 6L PLANNING COMMISSION MFETING OCTOBER 19. 1994 PAGE 14 sees this as an issue they are dealing with. There is a fence that encloses a screening area on the property. If the parking area is backed up to residential, it requires a fence. He thought a portion of that is screened by the dumpster enclosure but the code requirement would be that the privacy fence be completed along the back lot line. Mr. Newman stated he understands the easement is a contractual agreement between the petitioner and owner. The Commission's basis for rezoning is good planning. If the easement is not granted, the fence needs to be on the property line. If the easement is granted, the fence is to be placed on the easement. IIPON A VOICE VOTE, AITH MS. SAVAGE� MR.

CONSIDERATION OF A VACATION REOUEST SAV #94-03 BY MEARLIN NORD5TROM• To vacate•that part of the drainage and utility easements which lie six feet on both sides of the line between Lot 8 -- and Lot 9, Block 2, Holiday Hills, Anoka County, Minnesota, and between said Lot 9 and Lot 8, Block 1, Holiday Hills Second Addition, Anoka County, Minnesota, and which lie within the boundary of the following described tract: That part of Lot 8, Block 2, Holiday Hills, Anoka County, Minnesota, lying southerly of the following described line: Beginning at a point on the easterly line of said Lot 8, 15 feet northeasterly of the most southerly corner �her-eof, thence northwesterly to the most westerly corner of said Lot 8 and there terminating; also Lot 9, Block 2, Holiday Hills, Anoka County, Minnesota; also that part of Lot 8, Block 1, Holiday Hills Second Addition, lying southeasterly of the following described line: Beginning at a point on the westerly line of said Lot 8, 55 feet northwesterly of the most southerly corner of said Lot 8; thence to a point on the easterly line of said Lot 8, 99.65 feet from the most sautherly corner of said Lot 8 and there terminating. This property is generally located at 501 Rice Creek Boulevard N.E. Ms. McPherson stated the subject parcel is located at 501 Rice Creek Boulevard N.E., which is located south of 69th Avenue and east of University Avenue. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling. There is R-3, General Multiple Family, at the intersection where Woodcrest Baptist Church is located. � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 15 Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner is requesting that drainage and utility easements be vacated along the west and north lot lines of Lot 9, B1ock 2, Holiday Hills Second Addition. The petitioner owns the subject parcel and, over the years, has acquired small pieces of property to the west and north and consolidated them into one tax parcel. The petitioner is proposing to add on to an existing two-car garage. The location of the easements are such that they bisect the buildable area, specificalZy the area directly west of the subject dwelling where the petitioner proposes to add on to the garage. The petitioner is requesting the easement be vacated and that he would dedicate new drainage and utility easements along the west and north property lines. There are no public utilities located within the easement area. Vacating easements would not adversely affect drainage. Staff did notify the private utilities via fax and have received one response from Minnegasco who had no objections. Staff felt they would hear from the remaining utilities prior to this being heard by the City Council. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner did not submit plans for the proposed garage expansion. Staff looked at the existing garage and any potential plans the petitioner may have. The existing garage is 26 feet x 30 feet or 780 square feet. The code allows the first accessory structure to be 1,000 square feet. Without a variance, the petitioner could add 220 square feet or an addition -- 11 feet x 20 feet. A proposed expansion of that size would not adversely impact the lot coverage which would be at 15.6�. Any plans by the petitioner would need to comply with code or a variance obtained. Ms. McPherson stated the original easements are 12 feet wide with six feet on either side of the property line.� The City is unable to obtain the additional six feet from the adjoining p��perty owners as they are not a party to the request. Staff is proposing that the petitioner provide 12-foot easements along the north and west property line. Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends approval of the request with the following stipulations: 1. A Z2-foot drainage and utility easement shall be dedicated along the inside of the west and north property line. 2. The garage expansion shall comply with the code requirements, or a variance obtained. Ms. Savage asked if the petitioner would need a permit from the Rice Creek Watershed District. Ms. McPherson stated the impact is sma�ler than the minimum requirement. Staff will have the petitioner confer with the 6N PLANNxNG COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAG$ 16 district to be sure no permits are required. Mr. Nordstrom stated he combined the three lots because there was a problem with the tax papers. He then found out there were easements. He wants the easements moved in order for him to keep cars off the street. Within the last year or so, there was beginning to be a problem with too many cars on the street. Mr. Newman asked the petitioner if he was comfartable with the stipulations. Mr. Nordstrom stated he was comfortable with the stipulations as stated. MOTION by Mr. Sielaff, seconded by Mr. Saba, to approve the vacation request, SAV #94-03, by Mearlin Nordstrom, to vaca�e that part of the drainage and utility easements which lie six feet on both sides of the line between Lot 8 and Lot 9, Block 2, Holiday Hills, Anoka County, Minnesota, and between said Lot 9 and Lot 8, Block 1, Holida� Hills Second Addition, Anoka County, Minnesota, and which lie within the boundary of the follawing described tract: That part of Lot 8, Block 2, Holiday Hills, Anoka County, Minnesota, lying southerly of the following described line: Beginning at a point on the easterly line of said Lot 8, 15 feet northeasterly of the most southerly corner -- thereof, thence northwesterly to the most westerly corner of said Lot 8 and there terminating; also Lot 9, Block 2, Holiday Hills, Anoka County, Minnesota; also that part of Lot 8, Block 1, Holiday Hills Second Addition, lying southeasterly of the following described line: Beginning at a point on the westerly line of said Lot 8, 55 feet northwesterly of the most southerly corner of said Lot 8; thence to a point on the easterly line of said Lot 8, 99,65 feet from the most southerly corner-o-f-�aid Lot 8 and there terminating.

The property is located at 7835 Main Street, which is south of 79th Avenue on Main Street. The property is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial, as are all the surrounding parcels. The request is to reduce the rear yard setback from 25 feet to 15 feet to allow the construction of a 10 foot x 20 foot addition. The purpose of the addition is to enclose generators which are used as part of the petitioner's manufacturing business. The petitioner was unable to locate them inside the building. %F APPEALS COMMISSION M8$TING. OCTOBER 25, 1994 PAG$ 2 Ms. McPherson stated adjacent to the property to.the east is Bizal Manufacturing. There are no shared driveways along•the rear lot line. To the rear of the subject parcel is a fenced storage area ,;J; so the proposed addition does not adversely impact the property owner to the east.- In addition, the size_of the proposed addition would not adversely impact the drainage and utility easement. The petitioner has indicated the addition will be roofed and weather proofed to protect the generators located inside the addition. Staff recommends�the following stipulation is the Commission chooses to recommend approval: l. The addition shall be architecturally compatible with the existing building. - The Commission had no questions of staff. - Ms. Savage stated the petitioner had indicated the reason for the variance request is that the hardship is the compressor noise needs ' to be away from the employees in a separate room. _. Mr. Taylor stated yes. When he started the business, there were fewer employees. It is now more crowded. The noise is objectionable to the employees. That is the o�ly problem. Ms. Beaulieu stated, to clarify, that the generators are now on the -- inside of the building.and will be put outside and enclosed. �i Mr. Taylor stated the generators will be moved outside and enclosed in order to reduce the noise. Mr. Kuechle stated he unde�stood the equipment to be housed were air compressors. He asked the horsepower of the compressors. - Mr. Taylor stated the.air compressors were about 50 horsepower. Ms.•Savage asked if the proposed space would be large enough: Mr. Taylor stated yes. Ms. Savage asked if the petitioner had any problem `with the� stipulations. Mr_. Taylor stated no. The compressors are inside now. One would have to be around them to know they are objectionable to the. employees. MOTION by Ms. Beaulieu, second�d by Mr. Kuechle, to close the public hearing. .

This would improve the workplace. There are air compressors where he works and they are very noisy. Anything that can be done to get them out of the workplace proper certainly makes for a better work envirorunent. He applauds anyone who has the respect for their employees to make the working environment better. The visual impact will not be much especially if architecturally compatible. For these reasons, he would recommend approval. Ms. Beaulieu agreed for the same reasons. There is no adverse impact. The City has• granted variances before with similar proposals. She would recommend approval. Ms. Savage agreed. After looking at the.site, she could not see that there would be any adverse affect to the surrounding a�ea.

Dacy, Community Development Director Scott H'ickok, Planning Coordinator Lisa Campbe��lanning Associate SUBJECT: Springbrook Resource Investigation Project�Clean Water Partnership Phase I Resource Investigation Grant GRANT PROGRAM The Ivfinnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) administers the Clean Water Partnership Phase I Resource Investigation Grant Program. The purpose of this grant program is to investigate and identify possible sources of non-point source pollution Examples of non-point source pollution include: urbanization, use of pesticides and fertilizer, animal feedlot _ management, agricultural land management, construction site practic,es, septic system, mining activities, forest management, and roadway de-icing materials. The results of non-point source pollution include: the loss of wetlands, sediment build-up and a general decline in water quality. WATER QUALITY DECLINE AND SPRINGBROOK NATIIRE CENTER Over the last five years, the Springbrook Subwatershed has experienced a significant increase in commercial and residential development. � Of particular concern are the areas immediately upstream of Springbrook Pond which lies within the Springbrook Nature Center. The Springbrook Nature Center staff have observed a noticeable decline in water quality and drastic fluctuations in water levels in the Nature Center complex: This assessment is based on the following observations by Springbrook Nature Center sta� 1. At least a 66% loss in emergent vegetative cover at the Springbrook Nature Center in the last five years. 2. An increase in algae and coontail in open areas since cattails began dying off. William W. Burns November 3, 1994 Page 2 3. A decrease in waterfowl and waterbird nest areas and success of those remaining. 4. Increase in rate of siltation and subsequent reduction in wetland area. 5. Increase in water flow rates and bounce after storm events. 6. An absence of the type of invertebrate species indicative of a healthy wetland. PURPOSE OF PROPOSED PROJECT The purpose of the proposed Springbrook Resource Investigation project is to determine the origins of the non-point source pollution adversely affecting the Nature Center wetlands. The project length is three years. The project activities include: monitoring water quality and quantity, loss of wetland throughout the Springbrook Subwatershed and developing educational materials for use in the Springbrook Subwatershed. The outcome of the grant project will be a final report and implementation plan that would identify the best management practices that would meet the following objectives: 1. Identify and document water quantity and quality throughout the Springbrook Subwatershed. � 2. Minimize bounce effect of water flow into Springbrook Natwe Center wetland. 3. Return and preserve desired plant and animal life throughout the subwatershed and at the Nature Center complex. 4. Direct siltation dropout to areas where it can be easily removed. 5. Educate and motivate Springbrook Subwatershed citizenry to actively participate in resource management strategies that will promote water quality throughout the subwatershed. �� GRANT CRITERIA The grant criteria requires the support and participation of all 1oca1 units of government within the . project area. as well as the watershed management organization and the soil and water conservation district.

Ofiice of the City Manager Fridtey. MN 55432 � W��tiam W. 8urns GNOF i (612) 571-3450 FRIDLE.Y � TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: William W. Bums, City Manager '�� � DATE: November 4, 1994 SUBJECT: Mid-Block Street Light on West Danube Road Between East Danube Road and North Innsbruck Drive - The attached memorandum from John Flora indicates that the property owner at 5575 West Danube Road is opposed to the installation of a mid-block street lighf on West Danube Road. This moming I talked with Mr. Normand Nault, the person who initiated the street light request. Mr. Nault assured me #hat he had spoken to the property owners at 5555 and 5575 West Danube Road: He indicated that the owner - at 5575 West Danube will not oppose the street light if it is not placed in front of .his house. In view of Mr. Nault's efforts to discuss the matter with his neighbors, and in view of their apparent lack of opposition to the street light, I am recommending that we proceed with the installation of the light. Before Monday night's City Council meeting, 1 will attempt to verify #he absence of opposition from the property owner at 5575 West Danube Road. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. WWB:rsc �� '�!'._- _ _. _. ._ TO: Engineerinq Sewer Water Parks Streets Maintenance MEMORANDUM William W. Burns, City Manager��� PW94-357 FROM: John G. Flora�, Public Works Director ��jJ,JClyde V. Moravetz, Engineering Assistant .r/ DATE: SUBJECT: October 27, 1994 Mid-Block Street Light on West Danube Road between East Danube Road and North,Innsbruck Drive There have been inquiries regarding a street light installation at the above location. We met with NSP and determined;:that the location best:suited for our street lighting policy is between 5555 and.5575 West Danube Road. This'placement would be on a curve and closest to mid-block for maximum area lighting efficiency.' . �`�' The property owner at 5555 West Danube Road supports the light. The property owner at 5575 West Danube Road strongly opposes the light. The opposing reasons are :(1j pole on his property; {2) bedroom faces street and does not desire a"night light"; (3) neighbor across the street has a night light on_histga�age which provides adequate light: (4) if property owners want security lights, they should inst�ll- motion sensitive lights on`.their property as a street light is designed to primaril�_ light the ' street and boulevard only; and (5j the City should use the money to light higher priority areas in Fridley. If a street light is to be installed, I would recommend a round wooden pole with a two foot mast arm and cobra head. This is the same type that was placed mid-biock on East Danube Road a few years ago. The cost would be $9.40 per month for a 100 watt high pressure sodium light. There would be no installation charge, if placed at the location between 5555 and 5575, mid-point on the block, as a connector point is available. If the location is to change, there will be a$5.45 per foot charge and the mid-block criteria would not be met. JGF/CVM:ch 10A '� CITYOF FfZ1Di.
