ROLL CALL: MEMBERS PRESENT: Mayor Nee, Councilwoman Jorgenson, Councilman Billings, and Councilwoman Bolkcom MEMBERS ABSENT: Councilman Schneider PROCLAMATION: CITIZENSHIP DAY: SEPTEMBER 17, 1996 CONSTITUTION WEEK, SEPTEMBER 17-23, 1996 Mr. Burns, City Manager read this , proclamation proclaiming September 17 as Citizenship Day anci September 17-23 as Constitution Week. Mayor Nee issued the proclamation and invited every citizen an,d �nstitution to join in the commemoration. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: COUNCIL MEETING, AUGUST 26, 1996: MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgerison to approve the minutes as presented. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon�a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motiori carried unanimously. Mr. Burns, City Manager, explained that Council is in the process of discussing a joint project with School District No. 14 for the Community Education Center, and there .is work that needs to be completed this evening. He felt it may be in order to consider the agenda items, where the public is present for input, then recess to the conference session to work out the remaining issues with the School Board before considering the balance of the agenda. Mr. Burns also reported that Councilman Schneider would be in contact by telephone to participate in the discussion on the joint project with School District No. 14. There was agreement by the City Council to first consider the public hearing and then the consent agenda items where persons were present for comments. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 16, 1996 PAGE 2 PUBLIC HEARING: 31. PUBLIC HEARING ON OSBORNE ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. ST. 1994-5: MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at 7:48 p.m. Mr. Flora, Public Works Director stated that the Anoka County Highway Department is proposing to upgrade Osborne Road from Old Central Avenue east to Stinson Boulevard. The improvements includes widening of the street, installation of concrete curb and gutter, installation of storm water improvements, a bikeway on the north side of the street, and a sidewalk on the south side of the street. The estimated cost of the project is $517,400, and the City's share is estimated at $104,000. Mr. Flora stated that the City`s policy is to assess for the concrete curb and gutter. This public hearing is to address the assessment at.a rate hot to exceed '$11 per front foot. Councilman Billings asked Mr. rlora to explain why the County is not paying for the curb and gutter since this is a County project. Mr. Flora stated that in accordance with the City's policy, all properties that have not paid for concrete curb and gutter would be assessed for that portion of the work during the street upgrade program. Councilman Billings stated that this assessment could be deferred if certain criteria is met regarding income and/or age. Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that if the criteria can be met based on income and/or age, the assessment can be deferred. The assessment could also be spread over a number of years, usually a ten-year period at a low interest rate. Another option would be to pay the entire assessment at one time. Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated the City can initiate improvements without a petition. Once the project costs are determined, these costs can be assessed based on the benefit to the adjoining property owners. Mr. Tony Wilson, 1436 Osborne Road, questioned why the residents did not have any input. He received a letter from the City about this hearing and a letter from the County stating construction would begin September 16. All the residents want is a decent road, but it appears that all the City and County are concerned about is FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 16, 1996 PAGE 3 commercial business. Every time a truck or bus goes by, his house shakes, and now they want to push the road closer to his home. Mr. Wilson stated that he spent $3,000 for a new driveway and will now lose part of it for the improvement. He does not want the sidewalk, as there is a bike path on the other side of the street. He felt the residents should have been given more notice, as hearings for the residents of Spring Lake Park were held last year. Councilman Billings suggested that Mr. Wilson contact the County Commissioner to find out why bids were being sent out when the City had not even seen the plans. He questioned why the County chose to invite the residents of Spring Lake Park to a hearing and not Fridley residents. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that the City was not informed of this process until it was well under way. She also felt that Mr. Wilson should call his County Commissioner for an explanation. Mr. Wilson questioned why the property owners are being assessed for curb and gutter. Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that the City's policy has been to assess property owners for curb and gutter, and this has been followed throughout the City. . ' . . , . Mr. Wi�son stated that.he has over 50��cars a day on his street. When it rains, the street becomes a lake. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that the storm water improvements will help ta alleviate the water problem. She questioned if the County was acquiring right-of-way f.rom the residents for this project. Mr. Flora stated that the County would be using available County right-of-way which is at least 33 feet from the existing roadway center line. Mr. Wilson felt that the residents should be able to discuss this project before construction begins. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that she would like the same opportunity as the residents of Spring Lake Park to discuss the project with the County. Ms. Laurie Hanlish, 1682 Osborne Road, stated that she is speaking for Duane Weisen who stands to lose part of his property. She did not see a need for a sidewalk with the bike path across the street. Mr. Flora stated that that bikeway/walkway is consistent with policy established a number of years ago. This would be extended into Ramsey County, but he did not know when it would occur. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 16, 1996 PAGE 4 Ms. Hanlish asked if to set up a meeting. a discrepancy of two roadway. they should contact their County Commissioner She also pointed out that there appears to be feet as measured from the center line of the Mr. Ed Blaido, 1400 Osborne Road, stated that he measured from the center of the roadway to the yellow grade stake, and it was 35 feet. The center line of the road is being moved two feet closer to his home. Mr. Flora stated that the County may have an offset stake two feet within their property. Mr. Blaido stated that a lot of trees on the boulevard will have to be removed. This would not be necessary if there was not a sidewalk. Councilwoman Joxgenson pointed out that the County has do as they wish with their property. She felt there further discussion with the County on this project. the right to needed to be Mr. Jim Kordiak, County Commi�ssioner, stated that he was rea?ly here this evening on another item, but he wished to comment on this item. He stated that he is not familiar with this particular project. He was surprised the resider�ts have not had an opportunity to have some input into the project. He suggested a meeting with the residents and thE County. Ms. Kersten, 7698 T�rthur Street, stated that her home faces Arthur Street. She asked if she would be assessed, Councilman Billin�s stated that she would not. Only those properties fronting on Osborne Road would be assessed. Mr. Bourke, 7645 Lakeside Road, questioned if he wou�d be assessed. He was advised that he would not. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she would try to set up a meeting with the County and Commissioner McCarron so they can answer some of these questions. She felt the County would want to meet with them as soon as possible if they plan to complete the project during �his construction season. Councilman Billings stated it is his understanding that a meeting will be held with the County. He suggested that concentration should be on the issue of the assessment which is the purpose of this public hearing. He felt that no action should be taken on a joint powers agreement until the issues are resolved. Ms. Paulette LaVone, 1564 Osborne Road, stated that the sidewalk is a problem for most of the residents. They did not want people walking in front of their homes and driveways. She would also like FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER lb, 1996 PAGE 5 the speed limit to be reduced, as the homes do shake when there are buses and trucks on the street. MOTION by Councilman Billings to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing closed at 8:43 p.m. OPEN FORUM, VISITORS: Mr. Jim Kordiak, County Commissioner, presented a proclamation from the County Board of Commissioners recognizing the City for their extraordinary efforts in waste abatement. He stated that the City has met or exceeded their goal for seven of the last eight years in the area of recycling and the handling of solid waste. APPROVAL OF PROPOSED CONSENT AGENDA: Since persons were present for Items 4, 6 and 7, the Council considered those three items before their recess. '4.. SPECIAL USE PERMI� REQUEST, SP #96-15, by VETsMART, TO ALLOW A VETER3NARY FACILITY IN CONJIJNCTION WITH A PETsMART RETAIL� STORE, GENERALLY LOCATED AT �660 MAIN STREET N.E. (WARD 3): Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that this is a request for a special use permit to allow veterinary services within th�e PETsMART retail store locatgd at 5660 Main Street. The proposed veterinary area would occupy 5.9 percent of PETsMART's 24,960 square foot building. I�r. Hickok stai.ed �hat the Planninq Gommission, as well as staff, recommend approval with the following four stipulations: (1) all windows in the area of the building housing an.imals shall be double glazed with a fixed sash; (2) any ventilation systems shall be designed so that no odors or organisms will spread between wards or to the outside air; (3) there shall be no outside pens or holding areas; and (4) the petitioner shall submit documentation verifying that azl veterinarians are licensed as required by the state. Councilman Billings stated that this building is located on the parcel rezoned for the Home Depot site and, in conjunction with the rezoning, a traffic analysis was required. It is difficult to make a decision for increasing the traffic on the roadway without knowledge of the traffic analysis. Mr. Hickok stated that staff has received a draft document which required additional work. This document will be presented to Council at the September 30 meeting. The consultant for Home Depot has done a great deal of work in providing a solution, and he felt the Council would be pleased. The PETsMART facility was anticipated as part of the development of the Home Depot site, and FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEN�ER 16, 1996 PAGE 6 the veterinary clinic would probably create less traffic than expected. Councilman Billings stated that without the traffic analysis, he would have to vote for denial of this request. The request could be tabled if it would be within the sixty-day time period for action. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that she is concerned about the traffic and would vote to deny since the traffic study is not yet available. Since PETsMART will generate more traffic, she asked if the petitioner was willing to table this item. Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that staff has reviewed the draft of the traffic study. It was not forwarded to Council, as there is additional information staff felt was pertiner�t before they could complete the review and present it to Council. There was enough control on the original rezoning to require completion of the and that Home Depot bear some of the costs of the improvements. Staff did not see the traffic impact for the veterinary clinic as being significant. Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that Council has sixty days to take action. The process can be continued unilaterally, by providing a written stai�ement that there are reasons for it to be continued. Councilman Billings stated that PETsMART purchased the property from Home Depot who has taken their time in providin,g the traffic report to staff. He is reluctant to vote in favor of increasing the traffic without finding out the details of the report.

CONSIDERATION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 14: Councilman Billings stated that Council recessed for approximately three hours to meet with several members of the School Board of School District No. 14 to review the final details of an agreement we have been working on for the last several months. This agreement involves the remodeling and an addition to the existing Community Education Center or former Parkview E1.ementary School. Council was FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 15, 1996 PAGE 17 working from a draft agreement presented this evening by the School District, and he believed a consensus has been reached. Councilman Billings stated that the agreement provides for approximately a 6,000 square foot addition to the building and remodeling of space to be used for recreational purposes. The space will be used by all the citizens of Fridley, regardless of the school district in which they reside, and will not be just a youth drop-in center or a senior center. Approximately 95 percent of the City's recreational programs that take place are in School District No. 14 facilities. Councilman Billings stated that the term of the agreement is for thirty years. He felt that all parties have worked very hard to reach this point. When there are State statutes dealing with school districts and their duties and obligations and statutes dealing with the City on their duties and responsibilities, ways have to be found for both bodies to meet these responsibilities. He felt that this is what the agreement accomplishes. MOTION by Councilman Billings to adopt the agreement between School District No. 14 and the City dated September 16, 1996 and delivered to the City today by the School District, with those changes and modifications that wer�e worked out during the recess. Further, the City Attorney is directed to assemble the specific�language agreed to and submit it to the City M�naqer and School District No. 14 in adequatE time for everyone to review prior to the �chool District's- board meeting on September 17, 199b.

Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that it was a long, hard discussion, but she was happy with the agreement. UPON A VOICE VOTE TAI�N ON THE ABOVE MOTION, all voted aye, and Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimousiy. Mr. Greg Rosholt, member of the Fridley School Board, stated that the agreement took a lot of work, but he felt the benefactors will be the residents of the School District and the City of Fridley. He stated that, despite any objections, the residents will end up with a good agreement. He appreciated the affirmative vote of the City Council. The School Board will be voting tomorrow evening to concur. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 16, 1996 PAGE 18 Councilwoman Jorgenson felt that there should probably be an executive summary available if residents wish to review the agreement. She suggested possibly having it on file at the library. Councilwoman Bolkcom suggested that the plans be on display at the Municipal Center for residents who are interested. Councilman Jorgenson sta�ed that plans can also be reviewed at the Community Education Center. Mayor Nee stated that Council members and others deserve thanks for spending so much time working out this agreement. 33.

Herb Zimmerman � Date: September 6, 1996 Re: Recodifying Chapter 124, Noise Attached you will find a proposed recodification of Chapter 124, Noise. In the past couple of years the Police Department has received several complaints of excessively loud car stereos. The complaints are usually from residential areas, where inconsiderate drivers are playing music so loud it disrupts the peace and dignity of the neighborhood. To the best of my knowledge most of the complaints have come from the neighborhoods where single and multiple family dwellings coexist. Hyde Park is an example. To help officers combat this problem, Director Sallman requested I research this issue. Also attached to this memo are ordinances from Minneapolis, St Paul, Columbia Heights and a model policy from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). The Minneapolis, St. Paul and Columbia Heights ordinances deal specifically with vehicles. Because laws that deal with specific conduct are more easily enforced the Police Department is proposing adding specific �anguage to Chapter 124 to deal with loud noises from motor vehicles. The distance of 75 feet versus 50 feet was chosen because it provides more freedom for the citizen while making the violation more egregious for court proceedings. In reviewing Chapter 124.07 Public Nuisance Noises Prohibited, it became obvious that updating was needed. Because phonographs are �irtually nonexistent and technology for sound amplification changes regulazly a more generic category heading was created and the specifics for motar vehicles added. The Police Department feels these changes will benefit the neighborhoods and enforcement alike. It is our understanding that this change does not need a public hearing and could well be placed on the consent agenda. We would look for a possible place on the September 30, 1996 council agenda. I am available for any questions or concerns. 1.01 ORDINANCE N0.

Mr. Hickok stated the zoning text amendment would allow daycare centers in industrial districts. The petitioner is Northco Corporation. This is a specific request; however, the amendment would be a zoning text amendment for the entire City. The petitioner has a person interested in using their industrial facility for a daycare center. The applicant has requested the City amend the industrial district requirements to allow daycares as a special use. The applicant would like to locate a 6,500 square foot Children's Home Society tenant in a 36,000 square foot building located at 500 - 73rd Avenue. Mr. Hickok stated, as staff received the request, it became clear the petition is for a use without language permitting such use in the district. Staff must evaluate as to whether this is something the City is interested in pursuing and where best to place the amendment. The petitioner is asking for a text amendment. Whether or not we feel that is a special us2 in this zoning district is � call that staff made. Part of the analysis ior a daycare facility came down to the type of daycare facility - stand alone centers for public use, centers within multi-tenant buildings, or centers for private use in a multi-tenant buildings. Mr. Hickok stated staff evaluated the State building and fire codes about such uses. The concern is whether this is a practical use for a daycare to be placed in an industrial facility and be made compatible with the building design. The answer is yes. The fire codes and building codes are very specific about how to segregate uses within a complex. Mr. Hickok stated, as staff analyzed the area of the code in which to place the amendment, staff came to the conclusion that a special use permit would be the best vehicle for daycares. Both the M-1 and M-2 are industrial zoning districts that could handle daycares with the appropriate building modifications. There may be stipulations we would want to place on a daycare in such a facility. Staff recommends modification of the M-1, Light Industrial, and M-2, He�vy Industrial, districts to allow daycare as a special use when they meet the following standards: 1. Daycare centers shall be located in a multi-tenant building located on an arterial. 2. Daycare centers shall not exceed 30� of the floor area of the building. 3. outdoor play areas shall be contiguous to the building. 3.02 PLANNIN(i COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 18. 1996 PA(�8 3 4. Pedestrian crossing areas shall be clearly marked through the use of pavement markings and traffic signs. 5. Parking shall be at the rate of 1 space for every 100-square feet of usable daycare space (1:100j. 6. Signage shall be limited to wall signage and shall be in compliance with Section 214 of the City Code. 7. Daycare shall be licensed in accordance with the State and County requirements. 8. Daycare centers shall comply with building code occupancy and separation requirements. 9. Loading and drop-ff areas shall be designed so as not to infringe on traffic flow. Mr. Hickok stated this is a general text amendment. The stipulations are suggested stipulations th�t would be included in the language under the special use provisions in this district. There may be additional stipulations as staff would analyze individual applications. Mr. Hickok stated the idea of a special use permit is to make it compatible with the uses surrounding the area. Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner did a very nice job in providing infox�mation about the daycare they are hoping to accommodate, the Children's Home Society of Minnesata, who is int�rested in the 6,500 square feet of space. Mr. Hickok stated staff recommends approval of a text amendment to districts M-1, Light Industrial, and M-2, Heavy Industrial, to provide for daycare facilities through the special use permit process. He distributed copies of suggested language for the text. If the commission has revisions, staff will incorporate that language into an informal ordinance form before this goes to the City Council. Mr. Kondrick stated he is concerned about sound from the industrial activities that occur in adjacent bays. Has staff considered this? That could be a problem in some cases. There may also be cases of a business who may in the future want to locate next to the daycare center. Ms. Savage stated, if her understanding is correct, this is a text ordinance amendment that would allow someone to apply for a special use permit, and then they would have to go through the process. If there was a particular problem such as sound, that 3.03 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 4 could be addressed at that time. As far as this applicant is concerned, does the ordinance first have to be approved and then does the applicant have to apply for a special use permit?.. Mr. Hickok stated yes. The amendment would open the door for the applicant. Mr. Sielaff stated one handout stated Section 205.17.0 and the other states Section 205.18.C. Why are there two? Mr. Hickok stated 205.17.0 is the M-1, Light Industrial, suggested language; and 205.18.0 is the M-2, Heavy Industrial suggested language. Ms. Modig stated one of the issues stated the building be located on an arterial street. That is not always going to be the case for industrial zoning. Mr. Hickok stated the industr�al districts are set up to accommodate heavy traffic and most have arterial streets. One would rarely find a place where this does no� fit. Ms. Modig stated that would not then be a hindrance for a company who may want a daycare center. Mr. Hickok stated there are going to be some. There are some industrial areas that are on secondary streets. He thought this language would be perfect for those situations. In thase situations, it would be difficuit for people to get Yn and out, especially at peaY times. Mr. Sielaff asked if this would regulate businesses, such as Onan, if they wanted to have a daycare center on their site. Mr. Hickok stated the language is designed for drop-off daycare centers. If a company wished to have a center inside an existing complex, staff would be able to control that through the building code. He thought the City would see more of those requests. The M-1 and M-2 language would recognize daycare is possible. The stipulations would protect the City. As a request would come through the process, additional stipulations may be necessary. Mr. Sielaff stated the language indicates multi-tenant buildings which seems to preclude that type of daycare. Mr. Hickok stated this was correct. Multi-tenant speaks to the drop-off daycare. Mr. Sielaff asked if the term "daycare" refers to private daycare centers that are not associated with the company. 3.04 PLANNINa COMMISSION MEETING. SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAa$ 5 Mr. Hickok stated the daycare center may or may not be associated with the company. Staff looked at an example in North Mankato where a drop-off daycare center is located in an industrial park and the center gives priority to workers in the park. This would accommodate associated industrial workers needing daycare. Ms. Modig asked if by saying "multi-tenant" would that preclude those who want a daycare and there is only one other tenant. Mr. Hickok stated this was correct. Mr. Sielaff stated he would like to know the definition of a daycare center. Mr. Hickok stated a daycare center is defined as any non-home based program that for compensation or atherwise provides for the care of children outside their home as part of a 24-hour day. It includes but is not limited to programs for children known as nursery school, day nurseries, child care nurseries, and daycare facilities. Ms. Savage stated the language is very broad but it must meet State and County requirements. Ms. Modig stated she is also concerned about sound and have some area where we deal with sound or have the daycare sound proofed. That is a concern particularly for the outside play areas. This must be dealt with somewhere. Mr. Kondrick asked whose responsibility this was. Is this the responsibility of the City or the responsibility of those who run the program? Mr. Sielaff stated anyone who wants a daycare in an M-1 or an M-2 would require a special use permit. It would be under the review of the Planning Commission and the Planning Commission would still have the flexibility to deny the request if there are concerns. Mr. Hickok stated this was correct. The City Council would make the final decision. Mr. Zylla stated he was a partner in the land that is under consideration. He is looking at it from a broader issue. He was at the meeting with Mr. Ducharme and Ms. Olafson, who is representing the provider and who could provide additional information on the provider. In staff's presentation, some of the limitations don't seem part of the recommendation. When he drafted the zoning text amendment, he suggested it be a permitted or accessory use. Staff is recommending a special use. He still 3.05 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 6 feels it is a permitted use in a commercial district and the Planning Commission should allow this as a permitted use in an industrial district. He did not see the difference between the permitted and special use. He thought everyone recognizes that there is a lot of regulation that goes with this. The State regulates daycare very severely. The building and fire codes regulate this very severely. If you are concerned that you need to control due to concerns about sound and/or industriai noise, he did not think that would happen. Daycare providers will only locate in an area with a conducive environment for their program. If there is a user who generates noise, smoke, fumes, etc., the tenants would not want to locate there. Mr. Kondrick stated the situation could occur where a tenant leaves and a new tenant moves in having a different use. The mix could change. Mr. Zylla stated the daycare as a user will need a guarantee in their lease that nothing will happen to cause the adjacent uses to become a problem for them. He thought the Commission should k�ep in mind that this is a trend in our society. With more and more parents working, people want to be close to their children and like the convenience. When he wrote the language as he did with the use as permitted or accessory, he did so because more larger corporations are giving consideration to putting daycare in their buildings. They consider it a service to their employees and, in many case, a necessa�y part of the fringe benefit package they pro�ide. He thought the multi-tenant thing should be considered carefully. It would not affect them, but it something to consider. He does not have a problem with the a�teri�l street. The 30� area does not affect them. In their particular building, they have more of a hybrid industrial/office use. Most of the uses in the building are office. The uniqueness of the site and appeal is that the parcel is 6.58 acres so it is a large parcel with trees next to the building and it is not visible from 73rd. It is a nice, private industrial area as opposed to the John Allen building which is an industrial warehouse in character. That area is also totally different in character. He did not have a particular problem with the other uses. Mr. Zylla stated he did have a concern with the parking space requirements. There are 2o employees who are not there all the time. The center is currently licensed for 99 children and the parents come and go at intervals. At 1:100 as suggested, they would be required to provide 65 spaces which seems severe. He did not think the parking requirement should be greater than the requirement in the district or they may be forced to come in for a variance. 3.06 PLANNING COMMISgION MEETING, SEPT$MB$R 18, 1996 PAQ$ 7 Mr. Kondrick asked if Mr. Zylla thought the requirement was to high. Mr. Zylla stated yes. The user could also speak to that. �He did not do a parking count. They have enough parking for the building but the building is not full either. Parking is always something to be concerned about. He would rather not be subjected to an unusually rigid requirement and find that we cannot meet it when we know it is functionally not necessary. The only other concern relates to the limitation on signage which says no independent free-standing signs. If you have been to the site, they have a sign listing the tenants. They would like to have the daycare on that sign because it is not an easy place to find. They are excited about the possible amendment. He would like to see this as a permitted use. Hopefuily, with the other comments and consideration of concerns, we can get this passed on to the City Council and consummate their lease with this tenant. Ms. Olafson stated she was the divisional director for childhood services for the Children's Home Saciety. They currently operate 18 child care centers around the state, gener�lly affiliated with technical colleges. They currently operate a site at the Spring Lake Park High SGhool. Their intention is to move to this facility from the Spring Lake Park High School. The space they are currently using is needed by the school district, and they must move by June 1997. Ms. Olafson stated they now provide services for 99 children with 20 staff. They use abQUt 9 to 10 parking spaces which has been sufficient over the years. They have a comparable parking arrangement with the St. PauZ Companies where they have a center for 118 children with 12 parking spaces for the families. That should give an idea of their needs. 10 spaces �or staff and 12 for the families should be sufficient. They are licensed by the State and accredited which is a step above the requirements. They pride themselves in providing exceptional services. They have staff who have been with them for 10 to 15 years at the Spring Lake Park site. There is a lot of discussion about quality of day care and part of that discussion is the length of service For staff. Staff are long term and provide a continuity of service. They have a strong followinq of families in the Spring Lake Park community and have tremendous support to stay in this area. They believe the move to Fridley, while it would be a relocation, is a short distance and they could continue to serve the families they now serve plus additional families from Fridley as well. Ms. Olafson stated they have toured the building and looked at it very carefully. They would not put a center into anything but a pleasant environment for the children. The playground would be 3.07 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. SEPTEMBER 18. 1996 PAQB 8 private and protected with doors directly into the building. They have worked with an architect to design the inside to meet all the requirements and provide ample square footage. Beyond the code, they want to provide a positive approach to a - curriculum for the children. They are excited about this possibility. Mr. Kondrick asked how many children are in the present daycare center and how many will be in the proposed center. Ms. Olafson stated they currently have 99 children. The proposed space would be for 95 children. They �ill not go bigger than that. Mr. Sielaff asked if the State would come out and inspect the new facility. Ms. Olafson stated yes. They look at the plans ahead of time to make sure everything meets th�ir requirements. They will have to do some major renovation. Mr. Sielaff asked if the State considers the area beyond the center. Ms. Olafson stated no. Mr. Kondrick stated concerns have been raised about sound in the event noises are excessive. Ms. Olafson stated that is a good point. They have been through the building and did not zero in on how soundproof the building was, but they will look at it again. They do go at peak traffic times. They would work with Northco to make sure that the tenants coming in are not a detriment to their operation. Their board of directors will look closely at those issues before approving. Mr. Ducharme stated the owners of the building are as concerned about the noise as are the other tenants. Children can also be noisy and this is a concern. The appropriate precautions will be taken to soundproof the area. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to close the public hearing. OPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CBAIRPBRSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARINa CLOSED AT 8:20 P.M. Mr. Kondrick asked how many parking spaces would this person be required to provide. 3.08 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, BEPTEMB$R 18, 1996 PAaB 9 Mr. Hickok stated, at the rate of 1:100 which staff feels is appropriate, Northco would be required to provide 65 spaces. That language comes from the code for daycares in a residential district. In the residential section of the code, the following language is included: (b) Reduction of parking spaces may be allowed when provision of space required for parking stalls, due to the particular nature of the proposed use or other considerations, would be an unnecessary hardship. Adequate open space shall be provided to satisfy the total number of required parking spaces. Mr. Hickok stated, at least in the residential section, it leaves some discretion. If.the Planning Commission feels this would be appropriate in the industrial district, staff can look at it. One concern of staff is the peak times in morning and evening when the industrial complex itself is busy and other demands on parking exist in the facility. Ms. Savage stated anather alternati�e would be the variance opportunity for special circumstances. Ms. Modig stated, on this site, we would require this tenant to have 65 additional spaces� Mr.. Hickok stated no. We would require 65 parking spaces be dedicated to this use. Ms. Modig asked how many spaces are available now. Mr. Hickok stated there are a number of pockets for parking at this site. He would estimate the total number of spaces to be over 200. The code recognizes there are demand times. There are alternating parking opportunities here. Staff believes there is ample space for those who work in the building. Staff wants to make sure that people are accommodated during the peak times. Ms. Savage stated this parking requirement would apply to everyone. She did not think the Commission sho�ld be concentrating on the particular applicant. Mr. Sielaff wondered why the requirement was needed at all. Ms. Savage stated we want some guidelines if this is qoing to apply to the M-1 and M-2 districts. Applicants have the opportunity to ask for a change when they apply for the special use permit. � Ms. Savage stated she had a question concerning the multi-tenant 3.09 PLANNINa COMMI88ION MEETING. SEPTEMBHR 18. 1996 PAa$ 10 building. If a corporation such as Onan wanted to have a daycare, how would that work into this amendment. Mr. Hickok stated one way in which to accomplish this could be to say that the daycare would be located in a building on an arterial street and to say that the day care maximum floor area shall not be more than 30� of the floor area of the building. Staff wants to make sure that an industrial site is not utilized as a daycare center. Mr. Zylla stated, regarding parking, 190 parking spaces at their site sounds about right. The general office requirement is 1 parking space for every 250 square feet (1:250).� They have 45,000 square feet of building space so they would need 180 spaces. If this would change to 1:100, the number of spaces becomes much higher or 450 spaces. That more than doubles the requirement. If the requirement remained the same as they are in the district, they would be fine. Or, have this considered as part of the variance application. He would rather not be applying for a variance. Mr. Hickok stated the proposed requirement comes out of the special use permit language for the residential district. The same section allows for a reduction in the number of spaces which may be allowed if this would be a hardship. This is essentially a proof of parking. If it is deemed th�t this use could survive with less, it does give the discretion to have less. Ms. Savage stated this is an issue that could be raised and discussed at the time of the special use permit application. Mr. Sielaff asked if it would be staff who would have the discretion to have less. Mr. Hickok stated, if built into the recommendation, it would give staff the ability to say we believe this caveat applies, the Planning Commission would have to concur, and the City Council approve. Mr. Sielaff asked if there was some problem in dropping the signage issue. There must be some sign restrictions that already exist in this district. Mr. Hickok stated the intent was not to limit the petitioner from having the name of the business on the freestanding sign. In this industrial complex, it would not allow them to have a second freestanding sign. If they wanted, they could give up the directory sign for a freestanding sign. It was meant to protect from those who want their own freestanding sign. 3.�0 PLANNINC3 COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 18. 1996 PAGE 11 Ms. Savage stated, if there is already an existing freestanding sign with the existing tenants listed, they can put the additional tenant's name on that sign, but they cannot increase the size of the existing sign unless it is within the code� requirement. Mr. Hickok stated this was correct. They can work within the code requirements, but no additional freestanding signs would be permitted. Ms. Savage asked if the Commission would like to leave the parking criteria as presented or add additional language.. Mr. Sielaff stated he would like additional language. Mr. Saba stated he would like to go with the language that exists for the M-1 and M-2 district. He did not see that a daycare center would require the extra parking. He felt the requirements in the zoning code were adequate. Mr. Sielaff stated he thought the language as presented was too restrictive. Ms. Savage stated she would prefer leaving it as it is without being too specific because the Commission would be dealing with all kinds of businesses. It will also depend on the type of industrial complex involved. She would personally prefer to leav� some decrease without a fixed number of parking spaces put into an ordinance that wili have many different types of applicants. Mr. Saba stated the code already indicates the number of spaces required, the size of the spaces, etc. It is now that there is a daycare in the facility. Mr. Sielaff stated, with discretion, we could allow even less parking. Ms. Modig stated she thought they should be more language in order to allow some flexibility to make a change. If the requirement is 1:250 and there is not enough room for that to happen, there must be a way to get around that. She would like to add language from the residential section that gives them a window and also gives the Planning Commission a window to deny the request. Ms. Savage stated an issue for discussion is whether this should be a special use or a permitted use. 3.11 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 18. 1996 PAGE 12 Mr. Kondrick stated he could see Mr. Zylla's point but he would still like to control the request through the special use process. Mr. Saba stated he liked the special use because there is also flexibility with the parking issue. Mr. Kondrick stated he agreed with Mr. Saba regarding the 1:250 parking ratio. He did not know why this would be a problem. Ms. Savage stated the Commission is not addressing this particular application. The Commission is addressing an ordinance amendment. The issue in front of us is an ordinance amendment. The petitioner will have to come before us again for a special use permit if this is approved. Mr. Saba stated the existing code for parking in an industrial district is 1:250. He did not see a need to change that. Mr. Kondrick stat�d we can say they are not special. If we had heard the 1:250 rule, it would meet their �equirements. If a person needed more or less, we could also deal with that through the special use process. Ms. Modig suggested they leave the parking requirement at 1:250 and add the statement from the residential section. If there is a oroblem with an applicant, it could be handled on a case-by- case basis and would provide a window. Ms. Savage asked why stafi felt the 1:100 was the appropriate ratio to use. Mr. Hickok stated it is consistent with daycare, and daycare does have a crunch time in the morning and in the afternoon which can cause a conflict with parking. The 1:100 ratio is a consistent piece across areas of the code. In the residential area, they did not want parking to spill over onto the street. There is the same concern in the industrial district. Mr. Sielaff asked, in Spring Lake Park, does the daycare center have a designated number of parking spaces. Ms. Jenco stated they have 30 spaces. They share a parking facility with the other programs that are in the same wing. It does not seem to create a problem that staff are foreseeing. There is something of a crunch time, but it is really more staggered more often. Occasionally, there may be a number of people showing up at one time but that is not the norm. She has children in her classroom that may arrive as early as 6:30 a.m. or as late as 10:30 a.m. They currently have about 30 parking 3.12 PLANNING COMMISSION MSETING, SEPTBMBSR 18. 1996 PAGB 13 spaces for their program and the other programs in their wing. Because they share, their need is even less. People are there for short periods of time and they don't all show up at the same time. Arrivals are staggered. On the sign in/sign out sheet, she rarely sees more than one person coming at one time. Ms. Olafson stated they are talking about 70 families. If only half come at any one time, that is only 35. Ms. Savage stated the center in Spring Lake Park is not in an industrial building. We are looking to have general language which will provide the controls we need for all situations. She personally would like to keep the requirement the way it is. Mr. Zylla stated they must understand that the 1:100 clearly is related to residential, and he knows there is special consideration for residential. He thought whether it is quasi- public or religious institutions, they can have the tendency to disturb the serenity of the residential districts. This is industrial. Also bear in mind that nqt al� the employees come to work at the sam� time. Plus, the landlord is not going to create a situation that is contrary to the zoning code that jeopardizes the parking requirements for the other tenants. Mr. Kondrick stated he felt the 1:250 ratio with some flexibility was acceptable. He would be comfortable with that. It would be consistent with the zoning for the industrial district. Mr. Sielaff stated they are restricting the parking to 1:250 and allowing more if that is a burden. Ms. Savage stated, regarding signage, she thought they should add language that there should be no additional freestanding signs. Ms. Savage stated the multi-tenant would be deleted so the statement would just say "building". Ms. Savage stated she agreed in general but she did not agree with the parking change. Mr. Sielaff he was not tied to the one as presented. The options are to go with the 1:100 square feet with the flexibility built in or to go with 1:250 square feet with the flexibility built in as is in the existing code. Ms. Modig stated by doing this they current code but also providing an could be more or less restrictive. 3.13 would be complying with the opportunity to change. They PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 18. 1996 AQ$ 14 Mr. Hickok stated the ratio of 1:250 is more liberal. Staff would like to see it more restrictive with the latitude to loosen the requirement. Ms. Savage stated Mr. Saba is saying we should stay with the existing parking space requirements for the M-1 and M-2 district. She does not agree because this does not take into consideration that you would have more people coming in for the daycare. Mr. Saba stated it takes into consideration the space requirements for the industrial complex. For every 250 square feet, they need 1 parking space. It has to do with the size of the building and the percentage of=square feet that will be allowed for the daycare. Ms. Savage asked Mr. Hickok to clarify the areas of the code where these parking ratios are indicated. Mr. Hickok stated the 1:250 ratio is the typical industrial parking requirement. 1:i50 is for retail which is more restrictive. Mr. Kondrick stated he thought the industrial zoning was restrictive enough. Mr. Sielaff stated, if you go with the addi�ional language from the residential section, you are actually laosening the requirement. If you say 1:100, you can then loosen it. If you go 1:250, you have already reduced the requirement. The 1:100 is most restrictive and gives the most flexibili�y. Ms. Savage stated the City's position is that you will have more people with this added element. With a daycare there, there will be more traffic and more of a parking requiremen�. Ms. Modig asked if the idea for this use was to fit in with the industrial district regarding the buildings, code, etc. By changing the parking from industrial to residential, it does not mesh. The parking must fit in with the rest of it. Ms. Savage stated the problem with the industrial parking ratio is that it does not allow for additional demand. Mr. Saba stated, when the building is constructed, they had a parking requirement. Now for a daycare to go in, they must change that. It makes it difficult to put in a daycare center. From his knowledge of the daycare centers and the working hours at the facilities he has worked, people come in at a variety of times. 3.14 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 15 Ms. Modig stated she came down 73rd that evening. There are a lot of cars leaving at the same time in this particular area. Ms. Savage asked, if we go with the current requirement of 1:250, how can we if necessary increase the parking if there is a situation where that is needed. Mr. Hickok stated there is a provision in the residential portion that states, "When the provisions for required parking space is inadequate, the City may require additional off-street parking be provided." Mr. Sielaff stated he could support the 1:250 ratio with that language.

Staff recommends that Council receive the recommendation. 8.01 Recommendations For City of Fridley, Minnesota $2,935,000 General Obligation Bonds, Series 1996A Presented to: Mayor William Nee Members, City Council Mr. William Burns, City Manager Mr. Richard Pribyl, Finance Director City of Fridley 6431 University Avenue NE Fridley, MN 55432-4383 Study No.: F1287.M1 SPRINGSTED fncorporated September 26, 1996 8.oz / SPRINGSTED Pu61ic Finance Advisors Re RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendations for the Issuance of $2,935,000 General Obligation Bonds, Series 1996A The proceeds of the bonds will be used to finance street storm water and water improvement projects within the City. The composition of the bond issue, including a breakdown of the three separate components for street, storm water and water improvements, is shown on page 5 of these recommendations. We recommend the following for the bonds: � � 4 � � 7 � Action Requested Sa/e Date and Time Authority and Purpose for the Bond /ssue Principal Amount of Offering Repayment Term To establish the date and time of receiving bids and establish the terms and conditions of the offering. Monday, October 28, 1996 at 1:00 P.M. with award by the City Council at 7:30 P.M. that same evening. The bonds are being issued under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 475. In addition, the street improvement portion of the bonds is being issued under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429 and the utility improvement portions are being issued under Minnesota Statutes, Section 444.075. $2,935,000. See page 5 of these recommendations for the composition of the bond issue. The first semiannual interest payment on the bonds is due August 1, 1997. Principal payments are due February 1, 1998 through 2�12. Source of Payments Payments on the bonds will be made primarily from a combination of special assessment collections and storm water and water utility revenues. A small annual generai ad valorem tax levy of $8,900 will be made for the repayment of a portion the storm water component of the bond issue. Prepayment Provisions The City may elect on February 1, 2005, and on any day thereafter, to prepay bonds due on or after February 1, 2006 at a price of par plus accrued interest. Book Entry We recommend the bonds be issued as "book entry only" obligations through the Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). Under the book entry system, investors will not 8.03 City of Fridiey, Minnesota September 26, 1996 �] 10 11 C�edit Rating Comments receive printed bonds but will have oniy a record from the broker/dealer stating they are heid by the depository. The use of the book entry system eliminates all costs to the City for printing physical bonds. We recommend you retain a bank as registrar, however, to act as the paying agent to OTC and to send the City notices of the semi- annual payments due. The City is currently rated "Aa1" by Moody's Investors Service. This issue requires a rating application to assure continuation of the rating. Bank Qualification The City does not expect to issue over $10,000,000 of tax-exempt obtigations in 1996 and therefore this issue will be bank- qualified. Issues which are bank-qualified generally receive lower interest rates than issues which are not bank-qualified. Rebate Requirements All tax-exempt issues are subject t� the federal arbitrage requirements. However, since the City will issue less than $5,000,000 in tax-exempt financings in 1996, it may exernpt itself from rebating arbitrage earnings to the federal goverr�men#. 12. Bona Fide Debt Service Fund The City must maintain a bona fide debt service fund or be subject to yi�ld restriction. A bona fide debt service fund is a fund for which ihere is an equal matching of revenue to debt service expense, vvith a carry-over permitted equal to the greater of the investment earnings in the fund during that year or 1 1/2 of the debt service of that year. 13. Economic Life The average life of the bonds cannot exceed 120% of the economic life of the projects to be financed. The economic life of street and utility improvements is 20 and 50 years, respectively. The bonds are therefore within the economic life requirements. 14. Federal Reimbursement Regulations Federal reimbursement regulations require the City to make a declaration, within 60 days of the actual payment, of its intent to reimburse itself from expenses paid prior to the receipt of bond proceeds. It is our understanding the City has taken whatever actions are necessary to comply with the federal reimbursement regulations. : 1 � Page 2 City of Fridiey, Minnesota September 26, 1996 15. Continuing Disc%sure This issue is subject to the continuing disclosure requirements, as was the City's 1995 bond issue. The SEC rules require the City to undertake an annual update of its Official Statement information and report any material events to the national repositories. Springsted also provides continuing disclosure services. We have forwarded to City staff a summary of the SEC's continuing disclosure requirements and a contract for our services if the City so desires. 16. Attachments Composition of the Issue Debt Service Schedule Assessment Income Schedules Terms of Proposal DISCUSSION The bonds will be repaid primarily from special assessments and net revenues of the City's storm water and water utilities. Each of the three portions of the bond issue (street improvements, storm water and water) have been structured separately and combined into the larger consolidated size to enhance the marketability of the issue and reduce the costs of issuance. Page 6 shows the combined debt service schedule for the total bond issue and th� sources of revenue expected to be available for repayme�t of the bonds. Improvement Portion This portion of the bond issue is expected to be repaid sol2ly from special assessment collections over a term of ten years. Pages 7 and 8 show the schedule of projected assessment income for #he street improvement portion totaling $317,894 of principal for the four projects. Special assessments will be filed on• or about October 28, 1996 and spread over a term of ten years in even annual principal installments with interest charged on the unpaid balance at 6.5%. The first collection of assessments will be received in 1997 and are expected to be sufficient to make the iirst interest payment due August 1, 1997 and the subsequent February 1, 1998 principal and interest payment on the improvement portion of the bonds. This cycle will continue for the life of the issue. Storm Water Portion The storm water portion of the bond issue is expected to be repaid from a combination of net revenues of the storm wate� utility, special assessments, and a small annual tax levy of $8,900 over a term of ten years. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 444.075, the City covenants in the resolution to be adopted at the time of award of the bonds, to maintain �ates and charges of the storm water utility high enough to pay the required debt service and also the operations of the utility. Rates should be examined every year at budget time to make sure they produce sufficient revenues. $.��J Page 3 City of Fridley, Minnesota September 26, 1996 Page 9 shows the projected assessment income for the storm water portion totaling $235,483 of principal for the two projects. Special assessments will be fi�ed in the same manner as those for the improvement portion. Water Portion This portion of the bond issue has been amortized as even annual debt service over a term of 15 years and will be repaid solely from net revenues of the City's water utility. Like the storm water portion, this portion of the bond issue is also being issued under Minnesota Statutes, Section 444.075 and is subject to the same covenants to maintain rates and charges sufficient to pay debt service and operations of the water utility. Revenues received in 1997 are expected to be sufficient to make the first interest payment due August 1, 1997 and the subsequent February 1, 1998 principal and interest payment of the water utility share of the bonds. This cycle will continue for the life of the issue.

The section of the easement that is directly under the house is not under usage nov� and I do not see a future need for an easement at that location. However, the easement to the west of the house is necessary for drainage and other utilities, including Northwestern Bell and NSP. Therefore, recommend that we vacate the east 93.1 I feet of the utility easement located on the south line of Lot 2 and on the north line of Lot 3, Block 1, Sandhurst Addition.

UPON��ICE VOT$, ALL VOTING AY$, VICE=CHAIRPERSON RONDRICR DEC D THE MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY. McPherson stated the City �auncil would consider this req�.iest September 16. � 3. CONSIDERATION OF A VACATION RE4UEST SAV #96 03 BY C��AYTON AND JEAN HICKS• To vacate a five foot drainage and utiiity easement dedicated in the plat of Sandhurst Addition covering the southerly five feet of Lot 2, Block 1, Sandhurst Addition, 'lying easterly of the westerly ten feet of said Lot 2, and the northerly�f�ve feet of Lot 3, Block l, Sandhurst Addition, generally located at 106 Hartman Circle N.E. Ms. McPherson stated the request is for 106 Hartman Circle which is located west of East River Road and north of the south_loop of Hartman Circle. The petitioners are requesting to vacate a five- foot drainage and utility easement that lies on both sides of the lot line for a total width of 10 feet. The petitioners' property is composed parts of Lot 2 and Lot 3 of Sandhurst Addition. When the lot was created and the house built, the underlying easements were not vacated and the dwelling constructed in 196i was built over the easement. The petitioner has requested this vacation in order to clear up any future title issues which may arise as a result of the dwelling constructed over the easement. Ms. McPherson stated the Engineering Department reviewed request to determine if there was any impact to City utilities. There are no existing City utilities located within the easement area. They have recommended that oniy the easterly 93 feet of the easement be vacated. That would allow vacation of the portion 14.10 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 21 1996 PAGE 6 under the dwelling unit. Their recommendation is based on the fact that there are overhead power lines in this area. There is a utility pole located in the corner of the two properties and they want the easement for utility purposes. Ms. McPherson stated, as has been typical in similar requests, the City is requesting an easement in exchange for this 10-foot area. Staff recommends approval of the request with the foliowing stipulation: 1. The petitioner shall grant the City a 10-foot drainage and utility easement along the north lot line of the property. Ms. McPherson stated this is requested in order to provide access for the City and/or utility companies to access any utilities located to the rear of these properties. Mr. Oquist asked why the City was requestin� 10 fe�t on this property and not five feet foz this property and five feet from the adjoining property owner. ' . Ms. McPherson stated staff did not have the opportunity to speak to the adjacenz property owner_ . Mr: Kondrick asked if staff had received any comments from the neighbars. • • Ms. McPherson stated staff had received no calls. Mr. Hicks stated he has lived here since 19.E2. This came about �rhen he was looking at the gossibility of an accessory shed and found that his house was built on top of an easement. He does not have a problem and is very grateful to get an easement back to the utility pole. However, he cannot accept how they can tal�e 10 feet from the north side of him. They have only 13 feet froni the garage to the house_ Taking 10 feet leaves him with 3 feet. There is 24 feet to the back. If he wanted to put an accessory shed to the back, it would be worthless. As far as accessibility, it is hopeless because it is a walk-out. The land slopes down to the south. He cannot understand the necessity of having an easement because of accessibility all through the back. Accessibility to the south is hopeless too. There are trees there. They have constructed a cement wall to help with the erosion problem and there is a slope coming from the neighbor's lot to his. To the rear the land slopes down also. He thought staff should review that and ask themselves why they need the 10 feet. Also, of all the other homes in the circle, he does see any other lots from the street to �he rear of the lot that have an easement that goes back there. Why has he been selected? They have the smallest lot and the City wants to take 10 feet of 14.11 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 21 1996 PAGE 7 the rear of his lot. He cannot understand the need for it. Certainly the builder and the City erred at the time the house was platted and built. Mr. Giancola stated he is the former 109 Hartman Circle. The requested easement does not make any sense whatsoever on the north part of Mr. Hicks' lot. 52 feet comprises the north part of Mr. Hicks' lot and 40 feet comprises another lot and the easement runs straight through. In looking at the plat from the westerly portion, there are already easements that are created so there is access from about four areas to that back portion. To create 10 feet here and 10 feet there makes this lot devalued, so to speak, and does not make any sense. Mr. Hicks came back the night he found the easement and they looked at the abstract. Mr. Giancola stated he does not see any reason for accessibility to take 10 feet off the north portion of this lot because the City and utilities have access there already from a number of points to provide service. � Mr. Hinsverk stated his Zo�t.adjoins to the petitioners' lot at the west side. After talking to Mr. Hicks about this, it seemed to him there was sufficient access so they would not have to reserve that 10 feet ta the north side of that lot. Mr. Oquist stated there is access from several points. Why do they need to have that? : Ms. McPherson stated, in terms of maintaining as many poin�s of access as possible is important so they are not limited in terms of access in times�oi an emergency or any other time they need to ga�n that acc�ss. She was not sure what the site conditions were� If any of those points were blocked, the City has the right to have ac�ess at multipZe points on the block. Ms. McPherson stated the City has asked in similar instances for a trade of easement areas. Staff received a request in 1995 for the vacation of an easement where a house of built on an easement and we asked for a 10-foot easement on the same property. The City is being consistent in asking for similar dispensation to the City. Ms. Modig asked if the other property had the same site constraints. If you are taking 10 feet of property from a lot that is only 24 feet wide, then they can do nothing with that. Ms. McPherson stated, in the request from last year, the City asked for a 10-foot easement in the side yard where the house was 10 feet irom the side property line. Granted that person's property was wide so they had the remaining property to utilize. 14.12 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 21, 1996 PAGE 8 She was not sure of the petitioners' intent as to the size of structure being built. There is possibly a point of compromise. Mr_ Oquist asked, if there was an easement there and you cannot use it, you would not be able to use it anyway. Mr. Hicks stated it is 168 feet back. Only 24 feet is left behind the house. 10 feet for an easement leaves 14 feet. They could not put anything there. If you need to get at the 24 feet of their lot in the back, then why is it you cannot come in from the west side. It is no further. He also asked staff, of the other homes on Hartman Circie, how many others have accessibility with an easement from the street. None have that, but the City is asking for it from him. Ms. Modig stated the City now has a 10-foot easement but it is under the house. Mr. Giancola state�, if yau made a visual inspection of the lot, the iot is level. There is a.retaining wall, then it slopes down in back. There are trees along"the �ot line to the back. It is meaningless. Ms. Modig asked Ms. McPherson what she meant when she �ent�aned a compromis�. : • • . - . Ms. McPherson stated the Planning Commission has heard the petitioners' testimony and the testimony of the neighbors. Staff has made a recommendation. The�,Commission can choose to do something otherwise. Pos�ibZe options could include eliminating the' stipulatiori, requiring 5 feet, or tabling tne request to allow staff work with the petitioner to come to some form of agreement. Mr. Oquist stated he was in agreement with the petitioner. He understands the City's point and the need for an easement. However, there is access from.the south, west and north. We did not have the easement to begin with unless you go through the hause. In this case, he thought they needed to look at it individually. What it does to this property and the fact that you have access from various poi.nts as it is, he does not think the City needs that easement. He would vote to recommend approval without the stipulation. Ms. Modig stated she felt the same way. She wants to be consistent but sometimes you have to look at some things individually. She thought they would be putting a burden on the property owner to take away that 10 feet. Mr. Saba and Mr. Kondrick agreed. �4.13 PLANNING COMMISSION_MEETING, AUGUST 21, 1995 PAGE 9 MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Ms. Modig, to recommend approval of Vacation Request, SAV #96-03, by Clayton and Jean Hicks, to vacate a five foot drainage and utility easement dedicated in the plat of Sandhurst Addition covering the - southerly five feet of Lot 2, Block 1, Sandhurst Addition, lying easterly of the westerly ten feet of said Lot 2, and the northerly five feet of Lot 3, Block l, Sandhurst Addition, generally located at 106 Hartman Circle N.E.

Bwns, City Manager fi �� FROM: Barbara Dacy, Commwrity Development Director Scott J. I�'ickok, Planning Coordinator SUBJECT: VetsMart Special Use Peimit Request 1NTRODUCTION The purpose of this n�emo is to fo�low-up on the City Counal's concem about tiaffic related to the VetsMazt facility within the PetsMait store. The Counc�'s conceni was two-fold. F'u,st, additional information was nee�ed regarding the Home Depot/PetsMart tra�ic study. Next, additional infornwtion was neaded regarding the Spe�iSic traffic generation pot�tial of the VetsMart operation, vvithin the PetsMart store. On Monday, September 16, the City Council tabled adion on the spacial use permit request pending fiuther inforn�ation on the Home D�ot/ Pe�sMart tta�ic study. HOME DEPOTlPETSMART TRAFFIC STUDY Home Depot hired BRW Inc. to complexe the 57°i Avenue traff c study. The analyses conducted for this study included an operations analysis of key �ons within the �rt of 5'7"" Avenue from University Avenue to Main Street, signal warrant analysis of both the Main street and 3'� Street i�ersections, and finally, operations of University Ave�ue between I- 694 and 57"' Ave,nue were analyzed. Resuhs of the analyses and a staffrecomm�don for traffic improvements has been made available to the Council. PETSMARTJVETSMART TRAFFIC GENERATION Traffic generation speafic to the Pets�Vtart/VetsMart operation has also been grovided. Keith King, Regional Construction Representative of PetsMart has indic�ted that in this region, PetsMart has averaged 394 caistom� trips per day. Of those trips, 377 are PetsNtart t�storner trips. 17 of the 394 a�stomer trips are speafically VetsMart patrons. These � are. monitored through cash register receipts. PetsMart and VetsMart are separate corporate entities. Therefore, their separa�e bookkeeping has enhanced our ability to detennine the apportioiunent of the av�age daily trips. 15.0 � William W. Burns September 24, 1996 PAGE 2 CONCLUSION/RECOM1ViENDATION The addition of VetsMart £aality within the PetsMazt store dces not coirtn�bute additionat traffic to this developm�t. The true impact of the conversion of 1,482 s.f. of retail space to veterinary services is a decrease in traffic demand from the Home Depot /PetsMart site. Therefore, staffrecommends approval of SP #96-15 with 4 stipulations as outlined in the staff memoranda of September 16, 1996. � 5.02 DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: The petitioner r�quests that a special use permit be issued to allow veterinary services within the PETsMART development located at 5660 Main Street N.E.

There is a grade difference toward the house. One alternative staff looked at was attaching the garage to the house which is-feasible. There would need to be some type of a draining syste� to insure run off. It may be a nice alternative if the homeowner was planning to increase their living space over the�garage. Staff would encourage that alternative or a.�arger garage at the 35-foot setback. The petitioner was not esent at the meeting.

Equipment at 7504 Aiden Way N.E., by �BA Representing Sprint Spectrum R uest Staff has received the attached request by SBA representing Sprint Spectrum to install eight, ten foot high Personal Communication Services (PCS) antenriae and equipment at 7504 Alden Way N.E. The St. Pa�al water utility has been working wifh SBA to draft a lease agreemerrt to alfow use of th�s site for this insiallation. The site is zoned P, Public District. Zoning Requirements With the City Attomey's concurrence, staff has determined that antennae, when attached to bui{dings, can be considered accessory uses while antennae mounted on individually c:onstructed towers would be required to be approved via the special use permit process. These types of uses are included in the M-1, Light Industrial, M-2, Heavy Industrial, and P, Public, districts. Analysis Section 205.12.B.(3) states that permitted accessory uses within the P district include "activities or events for profit which are approved b�the City Council and are of limited time duration and under a lease agreement with the appropriate govemment body." While the City does not have control over the iease agreement, the subject 16.01 PCS Antennae September 24, 1996 Page 2 parcel is zoned P, Public, and would require the City Councii's approval. The proposed towers wiil be located on top of the 90 foot high surge tower used by the St. Paut Water Utility to provide water pressure for water being pumped from the Mississippi River. Also included is a 25' x 30' area at the base of the tower which will house transformer equipment for control of the antennae. The visual impact to the surrounding adjacent properties is minimal. Staff Update Per City Council direction, staff notifiied property owners within 350 feet of the request (list attached). As of September 24, 1996, staff received two phone calls and the attached ietter from Jiil Johnson at 157 - 76th Way. The applicant has responded to Ms. Johnsor�'s concerns.

Fridley, MN 55432 nea.r Ms: McPherson: Sertt via fax - 1 page I recently received a lettcr regarding the request of SBA to install eight, 10 foot high cellular phone antennas on top of the surge tower located a�ross the street from my residence. Because I will be unable to attend the public hearing on September 30, I felt it was imperative to write to you with my strong objections to your approving such a request. It is absolutely unciear from the information provided what type of energy transmissions will emanate from the eight antennas. I am very concerned about the health risks that may result from such arnennas. When my husband and I were loolci�g to purchase our homs several years ago, we specifically rejected locations that had antennas (such as in Shoreview) and� other areas where these wea�e in place. To have th�se placed so close to our home, with such a short noticx Af input, is extsemely distressing to me. Further, the request to place these antennas in prominent view from my front window does not even come direct{y frorn the land owner, but is rattier a money making veature, that has no regard for how this will a$'ect the view of the home owners in the area. In addition, it is unclear if there will be blir►long lights on these antennas. if so, my bedroom wili have a clear view of these towecs and this may be easily seea at night, even with curtains. Again, I strongly object to the approval of these antennas. I believe they will only serve to diminish the value of my home, will decrease my enjoyment of my property and may create unknown health risks.

Based on our understanding of the project, SBA, Inc. would install antennas and support equipment on and around �hhe surge tower at the St. Paut Water Utility facility in Fridley. You have stated that the equipment installed at the surge tower does not require a site-specific federat pernut. 16 U.S.C. § 4bOzz-3(b)(1) requires the National Park Service to review any federal action, federaliy permitted action, or federally funded action within the MNRR.A corridor. The purpose of the review is to ensure such actions are consistent with the MNRRA comprehensive management plan. The surge tower and Water Utiliry facility is within ihe boundary of the MNRRA. However, because no federal action is required as part of the project, National Park Service review is not necessary�. Therefore, the decision to permit or deny this action rests with the City of Fridley. The city should assess the project against its land use plans and ordinances, including its critical area plan. Please contact Michael Madell, Chief, Division of Plaaning and Resource Management at 290-4160, extension 223 if you have questions about this matter.

CP Rail, however, has requested the City Council to consider the request to rezone the property from M-2, Heavy Industrial to C-2, General Business. The folfowing findings of fact have been established regarding the request: 1. The property, while zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial, was designated commercial in the City's 1980 Comprehensive Plan. 2. The property is one of 19 loop-back parcels in the Ciiy. Of those parcels, 13 are zoned G2, General Business, with the remaining six zoned R-2, Two Family Dwelling, C-3, General Shopping Center, and M-1, Light Industrial. No other loop-back parcels are zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial. 3. The Planning Commission, at its public hearing of April 19, 1995, voted unanimously to recommend approval of the rezoning request to the City Council. RECOMMENDATION Based on these findings of fact, staff recommends that the City Council approve first reading of the attached ordinance rezoning the property from M-2, Heavy Industrial to 17.01 CP Rail 1st Reading September 24, 1996 Page 2 C-2, General Business. Staff met with the property owner and a potential developer of the property who may pursue special use pennits for a convenience store,-� automobile fuel dispensing service, and a service station.

PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY TiiIS DAY OF , 1995. WILLIAM J. NEE - MAYOR ATTEST: WILLIAM A. CHAMPA - CITY CLERK Public Hearing: May 22, 1995 First Reading: Second Reading: Publication: � 7.03 � _ STEVEN E. BILLIN(:ti COUNCILMAN, WARI) � UIYOF FRIDLEY FR[DLEY MUNICIPAL CENTER • 6431 UNI�'ERSITY AVE. N.E. FR(DLEY, MN 55432 •(612) 571-345� • FAX (612) 571-1287 September 18, 1996 RE: REZONING 73RD & UNIVERSITY Dear Concerned Citizen: In the Spring of 1995, you attended hearings before the Fridley Planning Commission and/or the City Council regarding ihe rezoning of the property at the southeast corner of University and 73rd ("Loop-back" area) from its current industrial M-2 zoning to a commercial C-2 zoning. As you will recall, at that time the City Council was considering a Municipal Liquor Store on this site. This is to inform you of a meeting at which the rezoning wiU be decided. The current M-2 zone witl allow uses including Heavy Industrial, Construction, Wholesale, Heavy Duty Autq Repair, and Auto Servicing and Fuel Sales. The proposed C-2 zone would allow uses including Banks, Convenience Stores, Offices, Theaters, Commercial Recreation, Light auty �►uto Repair, Auto Servicing and Fuel Sales. On April 19, 1995, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning from M-2 to C-2. There ar� 19 other "toop-backs" in Fridley. Of these, i3 are zoned C-2, and the remaining � are a combination of residential, commercial, and liyht industrial. None of the others are zoned M-2, heavy industrial. The recommendation was not made based on the then proposed liquor store, but based on the fact that they beiieved that the site should be zoned commercial rather than the current industrial. On June 26, 1995, the City Council tabled the Rezoning. On August 26, 1996, the City Council took formal action to reject the potentiai purchase of this property. This leaves the owner, CP Rail, in the position of seeking another purchaser. In order to find a purchaser, CP Rail wants to be certain what the zoning will be for this site. CP Rail has requested that the City Council complete the rezoning process. While there is not a purchase agreement in place at this time, CP Rail is negotiating with at least one prospective developer. The Fridley C"rty Counc� wal consider the first reading of the ordinance to rezone this property at its September 30, 1996 meeting at 7:30 pm in the Counc�l Chambers at the Fridley Municipal Center at 6437 University Avenue NE. This is not a public hearing, but you are invited to attend the meeting_ If you cannot attend the meeting, please feel free to write a letter to my attention, or to any other members of the Councii. The minutes of aii of the previous meetings are avaiiabie to us and previous testimony has been duly recorded and noted. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me at 571-5457, or the Planning Department at 572-3593. Sincerel Steve Billings 17.04 RES[UENCE • SZIS LINCOLN STREET N.E. FR[DLEY, M[I�tNESO'I'A 55421 • PHONE (612} 571-5457 DESCRII'TION OF REQUEST: The petitioner is requesting a change in the zoning from M-2, Heavy Industrial to C-2 General Business. If approved, the City would construct a 11,200 square foot municipal liquor warehouse. SI;f1VIMARY OF ISSITES: The request meets the three criteria used to evaluate all rezoning requests: 1. The proposed use is comgatible with the propose� zoning district. 2. The proposed district is compatible with the sunounding uses and zoning. 3. The proposed use rneets the requirements of the prop�sed district. RECOMI��NDED ACTIOI�IS: Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing. A condition for approval of the request is the following stipulation: 1. The project sha11 comply with a11 the requirements of the C-2, GEneral Business District. PLANNING COMIVIISSION ACTION The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request to the City Council as recommended by staff. 17.05 Petition For: Location of Property: Legal Description of Property: Size: Topography: Existing Vegetation: Existing Zoning/Platting: Availability of Municipal Utilities: Vehicular Access: Pedestrian Access: Engineering �ssues: Site Planning Tssues: Parcel History REZONING REQUEST 73RD AND UNIVERSITY AVENUES PROJECT DETAILS Rezoning from M-2, Heavy Industrial to C-2, General Business. Southeast quadrant of the intersection of 73rd and University Avenues. Tract A Registered Land Survey No. 78 Anoka Counry Mu�nesota. 2.4 acres Mostly flat, slopes slightly to the west. The parcel sits slightly lower than the surrounding roadways. Trees, tall grasses. M-2, Heavy Industrial Available East University Avenue Service Road N/A Drainage DEVELOPMENT SITE The subject parcel has been vacant since the incorporation of the City. In 1989, Phillips 66 Company filed a special use permit application to allow a gas station, convenience store, and car wash on the site. T'he City denied the application on the basis that the square footage of retail space exc,eeded the 30% permitted by the M-2 District. The City also received an informal request regarding use of the site for a bank, but a formal request was never received. 17.06 Wetland Issues A wedand was identified on the parcel by the US Fish and Wildlife Service in 1989. This wetland was indicated on the Service's National Wetland Inventory Map. Prior to the City pursuing a rezoning application for the parcel, the e�errt of the wetland needed to be determined. This would then deternvne if the project was feasible. The City hired Peterson Environmental Consulting to delineate the wetland and develop a mitigation plan to replace any impacted wetland in compliance with the 1991 Wetland Conservation and the Federal Clean Water Act. It was determined by the consultant that a wetland was not located on the parcel. The hydrology did not exist to meet the criteria in the 1989 wetland delineation manual. The City proceeded with the rezoning request. Evaluation of the Rezoning Criteria Comnatibilitv of the Proposed Use with the Proposed District The proposed use of the site is for a municipal liquor warehouse store. Liquor stores, selling package goods are a pernutted use the C-2, General Business District. The use, therefore, is compatible with the proposed district. Comnatibilitv of the Proposed District with Adjacent Uses and Zoning The proposed district, C-2, General Business is compatible with adjacent uses and zoning. The subject parcel is a "loopback" parcel. A loopback parcel is one which is located between a seivice road and an adjacent roadway at an intersection. There are 19 loopback parcels located in the City; 13 are zoned C-2, General Business, regardless of the surrounding zoning. The remaining 6 aze zoned R 2, Two Family Dwelling, C-3, General Shopping Center, and M-1, Light Industrial. The properiy to the west of the subject parcel is also zoned G2 and is used for offices. The property to the east is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial, however, many of the uses are warehouse-showrooms, and a large portion Qf the building is devoted to a medical office use. The property to the north is zoned residential, both single and two family, howevsr, those properties are separated from the subject property by 73rd Avenue, which is a collector. . The use of the subject pazcel as it is aureirtly wned woutd be limited to a small industrial user not requirluig expansion space due to the small size of the parcel. The oth� possible uses permitted in the Heavy Industrial district fitting this site would be repair garages or automobile setvice stations. Rezoning the parcel to a commercial designation would afford a wider variety of pernutted ases on the sit�. The land use plan in the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the subject parcel as commercial. Comnliance of the Proposed Use with the Proposed District Requirements Set6acks The proposed site plan meets the minimum requirements of the G2, General Business District requirements. No variances are required. Unlike the M 2, Heavy Indust�ial District, the C-2 District does not have additional setback restrictions from the public right of way adjacent to a residential district, therfore, the building will be set 35 feet from the north and west property lines. There are 58 proposed parking stalls, 3 more than required by code. Access will be from the University Avenue Service Road via two driveways at the southern-most portion of the site. The building is proposed to be 18 feet tall. A six foot tall rockface block screening wall and eight foot high Black I�'ills Spruce will screen the loading dock and dumpster area from the public right of way. Drainage The Engineering Department has designed the drainage plan to meet the requirements of the Six Cities Watershed Management Organization. The stormwater will be ponded on site and released into the stormwater system located in 73rd Avenue. 17.07 Landscaping The landscape plan complies with the requirements of the C-2 District requirements. The number of trees required and provided are: REQUIRED 31 trees required (1 for every 50 feet of siie perimeter) 25% reduction for large trees (3" caliper deciduous and 8' tall evergreens) 30% evergeen 2 ornamental trees equal one overstory 23 trees required after large tree credit PROPOSED 12 3" Red Oak 8 2" Snowdrift Crabapple 7 8' Black I�lls Spruce 1VLscellaneous shrubs for screening purposes. A number of existing trees will be preserved in the southwest corner of the site: Building Materials The architect has provided two building material scenarios: Scenario A: Rock face concrete block Met�l architsctural detailing will be located at the northwest and northeast corners of the building. Approximately 50°l0 of the east face will be a similar metal material. Scenario B: Jumbo brick, which is larger than regulaz brick Metal architectural detailing will be located at the northwest and northeast corners of the building. A.pproximately 50% of the east face will be a similar metal rnaterial. The colors of the building aze proposed to be tan block/brick with burgundy finish on the portions to be metal. The metal portions of the building will he faciory finished. The buil�iing materials as proposed comply�with the district requirements. Scenario B, because it includes brick, is consistent with the City's past preference to use brick as a major design element. A decision regarding the use of brick will need to be made by the City Council. Lighting The site will be lighted through the use of two 15' shoe-box slyle light standards. Building mounted, downcast lighting will also be used for security purposes. The lighting will be designed so as not to adversely impact the residernial property to the north. Signage Final dec�ons regarding the sigc�age have not been made, however, the proposed signs comply with the Sign Code requirements for the C-2 Distric�. No freestanding signs are cwrently proposed. Both individual letters and cabinet signs are proposed (see elevations). Store Operation The proposed hours of operation for the store are 8:00 am to 10:00 pm Monday through Saturday. Peak hours are from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm Monday through Thursday, 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm Friday, and 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm Sahuday. Appro�dy 60-70 customers per hour are expected dw ing the peak times. Deliveries 17:08 will occur on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, one delivery each day, with two on Thursday. Peak shopping days are Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve_ Traffic Kezoning the pazcel to a commercial designation will have an impact in terms of traffic. The C-2 District permits a wider variety of uses, including of�ices, banks, drive-ttuu restaurants, gas station/convenience stores, and other retail facilities. A comparison of average daily trips follows: USE AVERAGE DAII,Y NUMBER OF TRIPS TRUCKS Industrial (Manufacturing) 3.48/1000 sq.ft. building Industrial (Warehouse) 4.88/1000 sq.ft. building Restaurant (w/drive-thru) 632l1000 sq.ft. building Gas stationiconvenience 887/1000 sq.ft. building Bank 291/1000 sq.ft. building General Retail 51/1000 sq.ft. building General Office 24/1000 sq.ft. building Liquor Store 485 total trips (based on 4 per week 1Vfiarch counts) 580 total trips (based on July counts) The numbers quoted for the liquor store are based on cxurent customer counts. A�proximately 65% of the cuirrent a.�stom� base is Fridley residents_ Ctarrent trips on University Avenue average 34,500 per day (1993 counts). Trips on ?3rd Ayenue average 10,Q00 per day. The probability of the County approving any type of control at the inteisection of 73rd Avenue and the East Seivice Road is low. There is adequate stacldng space on the Service Road for vehicles waiting to enter 73rd Avenue. Customers leaving the site could also travel southbound to 69th Avenue to access University Averiue. Staff will observe c�.urent tra�'ic patterns during peak hours at both sites and report to the Planning Commission. See attached traffic study for more infonnatioa Stipulations and Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning Commis.sion recomtnend approval of the rezoning request to the City Council with the following stipulations: 1. The project shall comply with all the requirements of the G2, General Business District.

She stated, that since that time, there has been a meetfing with Susan Young, Minneapolis Solid Waste Program Director, arid she believes the City will be able to obtain the number of truc�s necessary on a one-time basis like it is done in Minneagolis. Councilwoman stated that sh� believed that Ms. Young gave Lanni McCauley, Executive Dir�ctor of the Fridley Pride City Wide Committ,�e, a list of those haulers. Councilman Schneider stated tha �he heard the issu� was the time element to pick up and dump the items. He stated that the need for 42 trucks exceeds the capabi ty of the local haulers.

STATEMENT BY COUNCILMAN BILLINGS REGARDING THE REZONING OF PROPERTY AT 73RD AND UNIVERSITY AVENUES• Councilman Billings stated that public hearings were held before the Planning Commission and City Council regarding the rezoning of property at 73rd and University Avenues. He stated that no final 17.11 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 12 1995 PAGE 22 decision has yet been made by the Council regarding this rezoning and it is no "done dea7.. " Councilman Billings stated that much of the discussion at the Planning Commission meeting involved the liquor store, mostly in response to questions raised by the neighborhood. He stated that at the Council meeting, the presentation revolved around the proposed liquor store site as a possible use which was primarily in response to questions the neighborhood raised at the Planning Commission meeting. He stated that members of the Planning Commission and the Council stated that the motivation for consi- dering the rezoning was the need to relocate the Liquor Warehouse. It was, however, emphasized that the dec�sion to rezone and the decision to relocate the Liquor Warehouse were separate and distinct decisions. Councilman Billings stated that none of the Planning Commission members deserved the treatment they have received in Ietters and comments made by several of the residents of Melody Manner, and he felt those that made disparaging comments should apologize to the members of the Colnmission. Councilman Bi��ings stated that he met with CiLy staff on.several occasions to review several possible alternate sites for a I,iquor Warehouse.' He stated�that the sites.which were reviewed included the vacant Amoco store at Osborne Road and University Avenue, the vacant �land on East Rive'r.Road south of Mississippi, the prop�rty in the nor�heast corner of University and Mississippi, the site on Osborne R�ad near the Dairy Queen, and several athers. He stated that, except for one site, all were unacceptable for a variety of reasons including availability to purchase, size, not enough traffic, and accessibility. ' ' Councilman Biliings stated that one site appears to present reason- able access, and is a commercial shopping area with good traffic counts and good visibility to northbound trafFic. He stated that while it is not perfect, he felt it should be considered as a possible alternate site. He stated that this site is located on the southwest corner of University Avenue and Osborne Road adjacent to the current Pet Food Warehouse. He stated that the site has been reviewed by Mr. Scott, a real estate agent that specializes in finding locations for commercial� businesses. He stated that Mr. Scott feels this site is suitable for the Liquor Warehouse. Councilman Billings stated that a letter was sent to the attorney representing the current owner of this site, and a response was received that the owner would consider selling a portion of the property of the property to the City. He stated that he met with Councilwoman Bolkcom, as the site is in her ward. She agrees that this could be a possible alternate site for the Liquor Warehouse. Councilman Billings stated that while a market study may find this site to be less prosperous in terms of potential sales, the City may have to make a trade-off between what would seem to be in the 17.12 FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JUNE 12 1995 PAGE 23 best interests of the City and the peace and tranquility of the citizens. MOTION by Councilman Billings to request staff to review a free standing building on the Pet Food Warehouse site as a p�ssible location for the Liquor Warehouse. Further, that staff commence immediate negotiations for the purchase of 40,000 to 50,000 square feet of land from the owner with cross parking and cross driveway easements at a minimum, that any purchase shall be subject to approval af the City Council and staff be directed to have the architects review what must be done to re-site the store at this location, and that they confer with the market analyst to determine the differences between the sale projections for this site and the current proposed site. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. 19. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS: ; ,� Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that he did not believe there would be any time for informal discussion, as he requested �he Council to postpone adj ournment of this meeting and to praceed �to an execu- tive session to discuss potential litigation.

PUBLIC HEARING ON REZONING REOUEST ZOA #95 02 BY THE CITY OF FRIDLEY TO REZONE PROPERTY FROM M-2 HEAVY INDUSTRIAL TO C-2 GENERAL BUSINESS TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW MUNICIPAL LI UOR STORE GENERALLY LOCATED AT 7299 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E. (WARD 1)_ MOTION by Councilman Billings to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Council- woman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at 8:20 p.m. Ms. McPherson, Planning Assistant, stated that this is a rezoning request by the City for property located at University and 73rd Avenues. She stated that the property is currently zoned M-2, heavy industrial. She stated that the property to the west is zoned C-2; the property to the east is zoned M-2; and the property to the north is zoned residential. Ms. McPherson stated that the purpose of the rezoning is to allow the construction of a new Municipal Liquor Warehouse. She stated that the parcel has been vacant since the incorporation of the City. Ms. McPherson stated that in 3989, Council considered a special use permit by Phillips 66. She stated that this request was denied on the basis that the square fo°otage of the retail space exceeded the 30 percent permi�ted in the M-2 zoning-district. Ms. Mcpherson stated that a wetland was identified on this p�rcel by the U.S. Fish and WildZife Service, iri 1989, and was indicated on the National Wetland Inventory Map. She stated that the City. hired a consultant, Peterson Environmental Consulting, to determine the extent of the wetland. She stated that it was determined by the consultant that a wetland was not located on this parcel, and. the hydro-logy did not exist to meet the criteria in the 1989 federal wetland delineation manual. Ms. McPherson stated that the City is proposing to construct a 11,600 square foot Liquor Warehouse on this parcel. She stated that the building meets all the setback and parking requirements of the C-2 zoning district. She stated that the entrances to the site would be located on the southeast portion of the property. She stated that the City has developed a drainage plan in compli- ance with the City�s regulations. She stated that a series of detention ponds would be created on the site, and a landscape plan has also been developed. She stated that the City proposes to use larger trees so that the site appears more mature once the building is constructed. Ms. McPherson stated that the building is proposed to be construc- ted of jumbo brick with windows located along the west facade. She stated that signage would be on the west and northwest portion of the building. She stated that on the north end of the building, 17.14 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 22 1995 PAGE 8 towards the residential district, staff is recommending little or no signage. She stated that there would be two 15 foot light standards on the east portion of the parking lot which would be downcast into the parking lot. She stated that, in addition, there would be some security lights along the east and the south exit door which would be on timers to� shut �off after the store is closed. Ms. McPherson stated that a traffic consultant reviewed the traffic impact and indicated that the intersection at 73rd Avenue and the service road would not be adversely impacted by the construction of the Liquor Warehouse. She stated that this proposed rezoning request does meet the criteria that the proposed use is compatible with the proposed zoning district; compatible with the surrounding uses and zoning; and meets the requirements of the proposed district. She stated that staff recommends approval of this rezoning request. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked what other types of businesses could locate in a C-2 zoning district if the property is rezoned but the Liquoz Warehouse is not constructed. Ms. McPhersoii responded that a bank, restaurant, offices, drive- thraugh restaurant, medical facilities, and other similar types of uses could locate in this zoning district. Councilman Schneider �asked if all the setback, parking, and sign code.requirements would be_met or if variances would be n�cessary if the Liquor hTareriouse was constructed. Ms. McFherson repZied that no variances would be required, and all code requirements would be met. Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that this project was necessi- tated because the current site of the City's Municipal Liguor Ware- house is under redevelopment. He stated that the Liquor Warehouse was moved to 214 Mississippi Street as a temporary location, and it was not intended to be long-term. He stated that the City is looking for a profitable site to move the Liquor Warehouse store to provide additional revenue for City operations. Mr. Pribyl stated that the City needs to provide a wide range of products at a low price to satisfy the customers. He stated that they have tried to introduce more upscale products and are expan- ding the selection of wines to appeal to a broader base of customers. He stated that the key is to provide customer assis- tance and service. Mr. Pribyl stated that the City needs to have sufficient space to purchase a high volume of products in order to sell at a lower price. Mr. Pribyl stated he feels that the City has a high level of control over the sale to minors. He stated that employees receive 17.15 FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF MAy 22 1995 PAGE 9 continued training in this area. He stated that with the City involved in the sale of liquor, it tends to reduce the number of other off-sale liquor facilities in the City. �.. Mr, �Pribyl sta.ted �hat: .there�. has .lieen� .an analysis done reg�rding the proposed � sales in� relation 'fo'the costs� for constructiori of the � building. He stated that the worse case scenario would be a � $2Z6,000 profit, with the possibility of $638,.000, and most likeZy . $322,000, after expenditures for the land, building, furniture, and fixtures of approximately $1.4 million. Mr. Pribyl stated that the City has developed experience in the liquor industry. In the last five years it has taken over a larger market and continues to grow. He stated that the City has a professional and educated staff, and the customers appreciate their knowledge of the products. He stated that the benefits of being in the liquor business are increased revenue for the City and the potential reduction of property taxes. � Mr:. Priby3: stated that there were -a nuinber of concerns �=raised at the Planning Commissinn meeting. He stated �hat one was regarding traffic.and bicycles on the frontage road. He felt that one solu-- -� tion may. be to use the proceeds �from th� liquor�operations to � � : - construct � bi�e . path between 69th �and 73rd •A�ei�ues o� . th�e �east : �side of the• frontage road. �He stated that�=a�otrier:concern•was�.�the� � number.. of police calls. He stated that -��n the past tw-o �years, � there have been ten poli�ce:calls to the present Liquor Warehous.e. : Mr�. .. Pribyl statecl that the question . was r�ised about the `proximity of th� p�oposed � Liquor Warehouse•���to churches and..�schools: ���He . stated tfiat � nine out .of � twelve chur�hes and two -out Qf eight . schools are farther a�tay -than the pre�sent site,: : He stated that�.in regard to police monitoring of�bike paths and parks, Anoka County� provides Friday, Saturday, and Sunday bike patrols. He stated that Anoka County: is considering adding a mounted patrol, and the Fridley Police, as well, have their own bike patrol. Mr. Pribyl stated that in regard to the traffic, the marketing study indicated a possible reduction in local customers of two percent, and that would probably mean less traffic on the local streets. He stated that in regard to the traffic stacking on 73rd Avenue, the consuitant found that the traffic flows would not adversely affect that intersection. He stated that there would be a slight increase in the wait time but not significant enough to cause a problem at the intersection. ' Mr. Burns, City Manger, stated that this public hearing concerns the rezoning issue. He stated that no variances would be required if the Liquor Warehouse is constructed. He stated that there would be a great deal of screening to the residential area, and he believed the building would tastefully blend with the Northco property. 17,16 FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEgTING OF MAY 22 19g5 PAGE 10 Mr. Darrell Ritzema, 7436 Concerto Curve, stated that he talked with Councilman Billings several weeks ago, and it was mentioned that this is an emotional issue. He stated that he was advised to come up with a good reason why the Liquor Warehouse should not be on this.si.te. He said that the reason is that�t�e people do not want it `there. � � � - � . - � Mr, A1 Quam, 399 73rd Avenue, asked if any-other sites have been investigated. Mr. Pribyl stated that�over the�last five years the City has been looking at different sites. He stated that this one was the highest on the priority list, but the reason it was not investi- gated more fully until now was because it was identified as a wetland. Mr. Quam asked why the Phillips 66 station, who wished to develop this site, did not have enough space. � Ms�.� Dacy, Community .Dedelopment Director, stated that PM�iTli�ss � 66 ap�lied for a special use pertnit under the �resent zoning of M-2, heauy industrial, due to the a:nount of c�mmercial space in.their proposed building, which� exceeded-the 30 percent pernritted in an M-2 zoning., district. � She stated that if tfiis_ rezoning � is approved_, ��the principa�l� use woulc� be. a-retall store:, - arid .it � is the .reason the rezoning- is� req�ested: tQ C-2, gener•aI �ius3aess.. -- - _ .. � -- i�ir�. � Quam - sta �ed • :that p�ans we3t-e- -formu��ated� -be€ore anyvne - �in �� the`� � neighborhood was. aware of it. __ - He felt that there are. alternate � sites_ available, �nd �that� there=�is- an overwhelming-disap�rova�I from '� th8 neighbor.Yiood; especially_ becausa it •.is- .a 1iquQr s�ore. �_ He - stated that. there :are parks, sehools,. and� churches- in the neighbor-= - '� hood, and the_Liquor Warehouse�would.�be incompatible; .� - � Mr. Quam stated: that the�residents expect the zoning to remain � compatikile with'the neighborhood. He asked that the rezoning to commercial not be approved. He felt that if the City was going to spend resources on these projects that they should involve the neighborhood. He asked that Council iisten to the residents. Mr. Bob Schroer, 490 Rice Creek Boulevard, stated that he finds it difficult to believe that this site is the only spot where the Liquor Warehouse can be located. He stated that he knows that Council studied other areas, but one area that comes to mind is at Osborne Road. He felt that this would be a better location and less offensive to the neighborhood. He stated that he has submitted his comments to Council in a letter regarding his feelings about this location. Mr. Schroer felt that locating the Liquor Warehouse on Osborne Road between University Avenue and East River Road would have a lot more to offer. He felt that the proposed location would not attract any 17.17 FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF MAY 22,1995 PAGE 11 customers from East River Road. He stated that a site on Osborne Road gives a destination point, as there is other shopping in the area. He stated that the traffic flow also would be better, as it would not flow into residential property. He questioned if the City would rezone this property for a private individual if the City was not in the liquor business. Ms. Char Bruhjell, 7535 Lyric Lane, questioned the traffic study. She stated that she has three children, and they have trouble crossing 73rd Avenue to use the park because of the traffic coming from Columbia Arena. She stated that adding traffic from the Liquor Warehouse would make the situation worse. She stated that Fridley has a wonderful DARE program, and she could not beiieve the City was considering a Liquor Warehouse so close to the parks and the arena, as it is a constant reminder for children. She stated that Council is fighting against the DARE program wi�h this rezoning for the Liquor Warehouse. She stated that she did not want to see the sale of alcohol at this location. She also said that the bike patrols. are stopping underage youth now for drinking. Mr. Jahn Miller, 7350 Lyric Lane, also questioned the traffic study. He stated that at the Planning Commission meeting, it was stated that ninety cars per hour were expected to access the Liquor Warehouse. He stated.that ri.ght now on Friday evenings, there i.s a four minute wait to make a left turn:off 73rd�Avenue to get on the access road into Melody Manor. He s�ated that if there are ninety cars per hour at the Liquor Warehouse, he can imagine what that wili do to the traffic prablems. Mr.. Miller stated that the Liquor Warehouse-is now realzzing a. $134, 000 profit. To say that his will double just will not happen. He stated that if the City is not profit motivated why invest $1.4 million in taxpayers' money. He asked that the property not be rezoned for the Liquor Warehouse. Ms. Madelan Lawson, 1026 64th Avenue N.E., stated that she objected to this rezoning for the Liquor Warehouse because of the proximity of the parks and the arena. She stated that the City has another liquor store, and she did not see why this one was needed. Mr. Don Vant, 406 Rice Creek Boulevard, stated that liquor is not being controlled in the parks now and never has been, as he is constantly picking up liquor bottles in the park. He stated that the park is sadly in need of law enforcement and once the liquor is sold, the control is gone. He stated that he did not think there should be a liquor store at this location. Ms. Carol Schreiber, 7399 Lyric Lane, stated that she did not want this site rezoned for reasons of safety for the children and the additional traffic. She stated that there are many abandoned and strip mall sites where a liquor store could be located. 17.18 FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF MAY 22 1995 PAGE 12 Ms. Diane Mahowald, 7451 Lyric Lane, stated that their neighborhood is very well established. She stated that when they moved to Melody Manor, there was not anything like a liquor store around, and that was one of the reasons they located in this area for safety and the sense of community. She stated that it is not fair to locate a liquor store on this site because they were there before the liquor industry. Ms. Ann Hagen, 551 Rice Creek Boulevard, stated that if the potential of ninety cars per hour is added to the existing traffic, it will create traffic problems. She asked that Council consider another location not near the parks. She stated that she feels a sense of pride for the beautiful parks, and this would cease once liquor is sold, as there is no control. Ms. Pat Henke, 7535 Tempo Terrace, stated that there is not a time around 6:00 p.m. that you can safely cross 73rd Avenue to get to Locke Park. She stated that if any traffic is added to 73rd Avenue, it would be a hazard to the children, and someone would get hurt. Ms. Vilet Is?er, 2287 Norton Avenue, stated that liquor stores do have adverse effects, She stated that she has a friend in Coon Rapids, and three gdngs there attacked her chil3. She stated that it was necessary to invoke the no stalking law to protect the chil•d. Ms. Barbara Tangren, 7368 Symphony Street, stated that si-le is concerned about young children who a.re biking and wh� wouid be affected by the lacation of the Liquor Warehouse..on this site. She stated that she has friends who have a parcel of land they.wish to sell of�which the City may want to consider for the location of a liquor store. Mr. Mike Larson, Liquor Operations Manager, stated that the site in which Ms. Tangren is referring is on East River Road near pow Brands. Ms. Tangren asked if Councii would consider a park on this site, rather than a liquor store and consider helping the residents construct a park, as she felt the site needed to be preserved. Councilittan Schneider stated that residents often wish to have a park constructed on sites proposed for rezoning. He asked if they would support such a proposal if the City were to assess the cost to the residents for purchasing and maintaining this property as a park. Ms. Tangren stated that perhaps there was a way in which the City could assist the residents in such a venture. 17.19 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 22 1995 PAGE 13 Ms. Char Bruhjell, 7535 Lyric Lane, stated that the City could consider obtaining volunteers and suggested that the commemorative space that was discussed earlier may be a possibility for this site. Mr. Wilbur Ertl, 7370 Lyric Lane, stated that Lyric Lane has always been considered a hazard. He questioned why the City did not build a downtown area and locate the Liquor Warehouse in that area. Ms. Suzanne Holm, 7424 Melody Drive, stated that the residents are told this is a rezoning issue, but there is still talk about the Liquor Warehouse. She stated that it is impossible to get a handle on what the Council is doing, as both the rezoning and Liquor Warehouse are being discussed. She suggested putting the Liquor Warehouse and the redevelopment area together in an urban environment where they belong. Mr. Ron Killian 7301 Concerto Curve, stated that he has personally witnessed traffic going off on the shoulder of the street to get through Melody Manor to Osborne Road during rush hour. He stated that there is already a traffic problem at this intersection. He stated that as far as police calls at the existing store, it is located close to the police station, and this proposed Liquor Warehouse will now be located in a secluded area, hidden by trees with an easier escape, and places to hide. He stated that this is a concern with the rising crime rate. - Councilman Schneider asked what type of businesses could locate on this site as it is currently zoned. Ms. Dacy stated that permitted uses in an M-2 zoning district are warehouses, manufacturing, assembly, or any types of businesses related to an industrial use. Councilman Billings asked how many loopback parcels are located in the Citye Ms. McPherson stated that there are nineteen, with thirteen zoned C-2 and six zoned R-2, C-3 or M-1. Councilman Billings asked the zoning designation of this site in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Ms. McPherson stated that the land use designation indicates this parcel as commercial. Councilman Billings asked Mr. Larson, Liquor Operations Manager, if there was a problem with trash in the parking lot of the Liquor Warehouse or on neighboring sites, such as the church properties. Mr. Larson stated that in his conversations with the c�urch personnel, they have not had any probiems. He stated that t2iey y 7.2� FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETiNG OF MAY 22 1995 PAGB 14 have two trash barrels in the Liquor Warehouse parking lot, and they have had no problems. Councilman Billings asked if any complaints were received from the residents in the neighborhoods of the two liquor stores��about persons purchasing liquor at the stores and traveling or stopping in the neighborhood and having drinking parties. Mr. Larson stated that he has not received any such complaints. Councilman Billings asked Mr. Larson if he has noticed any addi- tional activity of teenagers or high school age students trying to purchase liquor at the Highway b5 Liquor Annex since Sports Spree located in the building to the south. Mr. Larson stated that he has not seen an increase in this activity. Mr. John Miller stated that he did not feel it was fair to ask the Liquor Operations-Manager these questions because he would agree tha� there are no problems. He felt that these questions should be�directed to the appropriate persons such as the Police Department. � � Coiincilman � Bil.lings stated that. it is� �the City's �`re.sponsibility �to.- � � - � deteruiine the facts. .. � H.e ..stated that _r.ather than � addressir�g � �Mr. � Larson, these questions can be� direct�ed to. the City 24anager who � � .. .:.: ..is •responsible - �for- �all-• C��ty �.departm�nts-. - - :.. �., • . . _ . .. .. . . � � . . . � . . .. ..

' -.. . _-- � � .. Mr. Burns stated that, typically, he has these discussions, and they are the same facts that Mr. Larson was asked to provide. Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Miller if he has some direct knowledge of problems at the liquor stores. Mr. Miller stated that he did not, but he felt questions were being directed to someone who is biased. Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Miller to whom these questions should be directed. Mr. Miller stated that the neighbors should be asked. Councilman Schneider stated that since he has served on the Council, he has had only one call relative to problems at the liquor stores. He stated that he beiieves the liquor stores are well-managed. 17.21 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 22 1gg5 PAGE 15 Ms. Carol Schreiber, 7399 Lyric Lane, stated that before anyone was informed of this proposal, a lot of money was spent on traffic reports, and Council already decided they were going to move the Liquor Warehouse. She stated that it seems this hearinq. is to appease the residents. She stated that in�a democracy, people-who go against the wis�es of�the citizens will not be re-elected. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that she has not made a decision on this rezoning. She felt fihat everyone would agree that the resi- dents should have been involved sooner, but she wanted everyone to work together. Councilman Schneider stated that Ms. Schreiber raised a good point on the studies that were conducted. He stated that, normally, there is a developer that is proposing the rezoning, and Council receives information on the platting, traffic, and drainage issues, in order to make a decision. He stated that in this case, the City is the petitioner and wearing both hats. He stated that if the City proceeded without that data, it would be unfair for the residents to atten� this meeting when there is no infoi-mation available. He stated that, in reality, the studies needed to be completed to present this data to the residents. Council�aoman Jorgenson stated that in the City's spring newsletter, she ' asked. the quest3on iF.,�the �.City_ should� remai� in� the l�iquor business.or get out of .it. �She stated Zhat she�rece�ved about twenty letters and. twelve or �thirteen telephone calls; and the ° respanse..was. divided:.- �he.� sta�ed-�hat the .�C�.ty :had.�ot speci�i-�..:: .. cal�ly discussed any.sites at.that time, but an estimate was given on the amount of prnfit_over the next ten years. She s�ated that.: because the I,iquor Wareho:use was �loc�ted in the sauthwest quadr-ant�, which was a redevelopment area,.funds-were�.•set aside to move ta another location i.f the City chose 'to remain in the liquor store business. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if it would open the City to other off-sale private establishments if the City would leave the liquor business. Mr. Pribyl stated that is a Council decision if they want a dry City or wish to issue other off-sale private licenses. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that if this parcel is rezoned, it does not necessarily mean a liquor store will be built on this site. She stated that four affirmative votes are needed to rezone. Because this is not a specifically budgeted item, four votes would be necessary to construct a liquor store. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked what the residents would like to see on this property if the rezoning is approved and a liquor store is not constructed on the site. 17.22 FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF MAy 22 1gg5 PAGE 16 The reply from the audience was to leave it as it is now. Mr. Tim Breider, 7550 Tempo Terrace, stated that it is difficult to address this one parcei because to the east there is a large piece of undeveloped property. He felt that a�l this.land 2iad to be addressed rather than just this site. ��� Councilwoma� Jorgenson stated that eventually, developers will want to develop that land,�and what can assist Council is to_find out what the residerits�would like on those.parcels.:.� �� �- �- . Mr. Breider stated that there are retail businesses located in the area now which generate traffic that comes and goes at various times. He stated that he did not know who conducted the traffic study, but a person cannot get across 73rd Avenue in the evening hours. He felt that what the residents would like is the type of business that has traffic during the day at different hours such as small retail businesses. Couricilwoman.��Jorgenson stated that with this particular parcel, she would prefer that it be zoned commercial rather than industrial. She sta�ecl that a gas station could locate on this�parcel, and she felt that a�l 'iquor store� would . be bette .r-. She stated �that � she . . lives-. or�e.. �block �from a gas � �station; �and � �this is -�-not -a -good situation. � =She � •stated" �that- �he 'service roads� iritti� Melody- Manor � � pratect the neigh�borhooc�.� �fram � the bus��;ness_ area. - --.. -_ ._ - - • - . � � �-.Ms. ..iia�zel.�Vick,,. �433 �Goncerto �Ci,iY-ve,..stated� she- fel�t that- a� sen�io� � � - � � � center should be .located on this -site. � � : � . - � � - Councilwaman , Jorgens�on �stated � t-.i3[a�: � �he : agre�s : a ; senior � center •is " ' - � .. needed, but _ t�ese plans.._ have not �, materiali�ed � as quickly �- as, the� .: �Li�ior �Warehouse �issue.� - " - - � � . . - : - - - � . Ms. Tangr�n stated that she did not know about the-article in the spring newsletter;-.and she felt that this was unfair�.� Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that the City's newsletters are mailed to every resident in the City. She stated that citizens also have to read Focus News, as well as the newsletter, to keep informed. Ms . Tangren stated that Council should look at the property on East River Road that she suggested, as there are more commercial esta- blishments in the area. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that the City would then receive opposition from the residents on East River Road. Ms. Dona Woltering, 7341 Tempo Terrace, stated that the Liquor Annex on Highway 65 has been there for many years, and the b�sinesses and schools knew that it was in their area. 17.23 FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF MAY 22 1995 PAGE 17 Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that the homes were already in existance before the Liquor Annex was located on Highway 65. Ms. Cynthia Schreiner, 7372 Symphony Street, stated that First Bank - of Coon � Ragids had explbr•ed the � possibi�lity of purchasi:ng tl�is� parcel.� She stated, at the time when they did the soil borings it� was not suitable without a sale of the railroad property. She stated tha.t it was not profitable for a�private business to con- struct a building,.�and she did not feel�it would be profitable for the City to construct a.-buildirig: � �� � . Ms. Dacy stated that, as she recalls, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority did evaluate a request for assistance with soil correction. She stated that it was not the decision of the HRA or the Council that prevented development of that site, as they were wil?ing to offer assistance to ma�ce the soil correction. Mr. Jim Lawrence, 7340 Tempo Terrace, asked if public hearings were held when the existing Liquor Warehouse was moved to its present site. Mr. Pribyl stated that when the Liquor Warehouse moved Erom Holly Center no public hearings were held. ��.

Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she understood that if the City was not in the off-sale liquor business, it was not the Council's option to remain a dry City. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that Council has the authority not to issue any license. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that several letters were received in opposition to the Liquor Warehouse.

PUBLIC HEARING; CONSIDERATION OF A REZONING REQUEST. ZOA #95-02, BY THE CITY OF FRIDLEY: To rezone property from M-2, Heavy Industrial to C-2, General Business, to allow the construction of a new municipal liquor store on Tract A, Registered Lane Survey No. 78, generally located at 7299 University Avenue N.E. � �%.26 PLANNING COMMISSION MEBTING APRIL 19 1995 PAGE 3 MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Sielaff to waive the reading and open the Public Hearing in consideration of a rezoning request, ZOA �95-02. UPON A VOICE VOT$, ALL VOTING AYB, CHAIRP$RSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY. Ms. McPherson stated this is a rezoning request by the City of Fridley to rezone a parcel of land located at the intersection of University Avenue and 73rd Avenue from M-2, Heavy Industrial to C-2, General Business. The surrounding zoning of the property includes M-2, Heavy Industrial to the east, C-2, General Business to the west, both north and south of 73rd Avenue, R-2, Two Family Dwelling to the north, and also R-1, Single Family to the north. Ms. McPherson stated the purpose of the.rezoning request, if approved, would be to construct a 11,200 square foot municipal liquor store. Ms. McPherson stated that the parcel has been vaca�nt since the- incorporation of th� City. In 1989, the City considered a Special Use Permit Request.by Phillips 66.Company 'to allow a gas station/convenience store and car wash'on the site. The City' denied that request on.the basis that the square footage of.the retail space �exceeded that which was permitted�in M-2 tndustriaZ District. The City has also received various informal inquiries in regard to the parcel, although no formal development applications have been received� Ms. McPh�rson stated that'�n cons3dering a rezoning request, staff reviews three criteria to evaluate the reqnest: 1) the compatibility of the proposed use with the proposed district - the proposed district is C-2, General Business and liquor stores selling packaged goods are a permitted use within a C-2 District; 2j the compatibility of the proposed district with adjacent uses ann zoning - the parcel is a loop-back parcel (i.t is located between a service road and a major thorouqhfare). There are 19 such parcels located in the City, 13 of which are zoned C-2 General Business, regardless of the surrounding zoning of adjacent parcels. There is additional C-2 zoning to the west and office uses located in those particular buildings. There is residential zoning to the north, both two family and single family, however there is a fairly large road (73rd Avenuej separating the residential uses from the subject parcel. The use of the parcel as it is currently zoned would be limited to small industrial user who would not require additional expansion area due to the small size of the parcel. The parcel is approximately 2.4 17.27 PLANNING COMMISSION MEBTINQ, APRIL 19. 1995 PAa$ 4_ acres. Other possible uses under M-2 include repair garages or other automobile related uses. Rezoning the parcei to a commercial designation would afford a wider variety of uses to be permitted on the site. In 1980 when the City approved the Comprehensive Plan in accordance with the State planning statutes, the parcel was designated as CoYamercial in the City's comprehensive land use plan. 3) the compliance of the proposed use with the zoning district - these include a variety of items beginning with setbacks. The site has been designed to meet all building and parking setbacks - there are no variances being requ�sted as part of this proposal. Unlike the M-2 district, this district does not require a 100 foot building setback from the right of way line across from the residential district, therefore the setback from the right of way line along both 73rd and University Avenues will be 35 feet. There are 58 proposed parking stalls, three more than what is required. The Engineering Department has designed a grading and drainage plan which complies with the Sixt� Cities Watershed Management Organization. A landscape plan has also been designed by staff and complies with the minimum requirements of the C-2 district. Staff has �orked with the architect to design a building which is consistent with City requirements of other developers. The building at this point is proposed to be a combination of masonry block and brick with some architectural detailing done in a pre- finished manufactured metal finish. The color is proposed to be tan and burgundy. The tan will be similar to the exzsting home business center Zocated to the east af the subject parcel. Staff has not made a determination regarding signage, however, the signs that ar� shown on the elevation maps do comply with the City�s sign code for a C-2 district. Ms. McPherson stated the proposed hours of operation would be from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, with peak hours generally occurring between 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. in the eveninq. With any rezoning request traffic can be an issue. Staff has looked at the traffic which could be generated by the liquor store and has also contracted with Short-Elliott- Hendrickson to further analyze the traffic impacts in rezoning to a commercial designation would generate. In looking at the types of trips that a liquor store would generate during the peak hours, SEH has determined that approximately 90 total trips per hour to and from the store could occur and in their opinion the left turning movement onto �3rd Avenue from the service road could be backed up at certain hours as peak hour traffic is accessing 73rd Avenue to go northbound on University Avenue. Ms. McPherson noted that Mr.-Gien VanWormer was present also from SEH to further answer any questions that the commissioners or pubiic 17.28 PLANNING COMMISSIpN MF,ETING APRIL 19 1995 PAGE 5 may have in regard to traffic concerns, as well as Mike Larson and Rick Pribyl, representing the Liquor Store operation to answer any questions in regard to the store operation. .- Ms. McPherson stated as the request meets the three criteria used in evaluating all rezoning requests, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request to the City Council. Mr. Sielaff asked if the proposed site is similar to the Central Avenue site in terms of traffic volumes. Ms. McPherson stated she did not have the information readily available, but would guess that the traffic volumes would be pretty similar. Mr. Sielaff asked if there is data from the Central Avenue liquor store on how much traffic to the store is generated during peak hours. Ms.�McPherson stated Mr. Larson should be able to provide information in regard to the number of customers per hour occur at•that store. SEH estimates that approximately 90 total trips in and out per hour would occur during the peak. Mr. Kondrick stated in regard to where the building is being placed and the manner in which one would go inta and out of the parking lot, he was curious what the distance is from the nearest entrance to the stop sign on 73rd Avenue. He wondered how many cars could be stacked in this area. Ms. McPherson stated the distance was estimated to be rou�hly 160 feet, so Mr. Kondrick felt approximately eight cars could�stack. Ms. Modig asked if there have been any complaints from the neighborhood of where the liquor store is located now. Ms. McPherson stated she is not aware that their department has received any complaints regarding the current operation or location. She did not inquire from the police department as to whether they have received complaints. Mr. Kondrick asked how far the current liquor store is from a residential area to the south. Mr. Rick Pribyl, City Finance Director, was present to discuss the proposed liquor store. He stated the proposed site is one the City is considering because of the necessary relocation of the current store due to the redevelopment on the southwest quadrant of the City's tax increment district. This site is one that the City has been looking at for some time and it appears 17.29 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 6 that it would be a very viable location for the City's off-sale municipal liquor store. Mr. Mike Larson, Operations Manager of the City's Liquor Stnre, was also present. He stated the largest change in the liquor stores industry is an increase in the business and warehouse style operations. The Fridley Liquor Stores have modified their image, management style and advertising plans to conform with customer demand for a warehouse image with a large selection and low pricing. This is their plan for this site. The goals for this proposal are to continue to provide a profit for the citizens of Fridley, control the saZes of intoxicating beverages and build a store that the community can be proud of. Mr. Kondrick asked how the size of the proposed building compares with the current site on Mississippi Street. Mr. Larson stated both buildings are basically the same size. Currently, the warehouse store is 11,800 square feet. The proposed building will be 11,200 square feet. The design will better suit th� use, however than building at the current location. Mr. Kondrick asked how large a staff is employed. Mr. Larson stated there will fourteen {14j total employees; four full-time and the remaining will be part-time employees. Mr. Sielaff asked if they had some idea as to how much additional traffic will be generated at the new site. Mr. Larson stated the studies have found that they would experience four to six times more exposuxe at the new site than what they are getting at the current site. The traffic that they anticipate at the new site is a northbound traffic. They are attempting to appeal to drive-by traffic. This is the key difference between the current location on Mississippi Street and the new proposed site. Mr. Kondrick asked how much of their volume will be drive-by traffic. His calculations show this wouid be approximately a 30� increase. Mr. Larson stated the market analysis that they had done by Magnen Research predicts an increase using the worst-case scenario of about $615,000 by the higher exposure. The most likely case is about $900,000 in total sales. Mr. Larson stated if one looks at the proposed design, what they are attempting to do is have traffic make a right-hand turn on 73rd Avenue, coming down to the loop back, making a right-hand 17.30 PLANNING COMMISgION MEETING APRIL 19 1995 PAGE 7 turn and coming in the store. The reason the parking lot is designed the way it has been is when a person exists the store they will actually come out and down to 69th Avenue to get back out on University Avenue. The existing store parking lot travels in this fashion right now. If a parking lot is created in the way that they have, customers do not find it the most convenient to try to exit out when others are trying to turn in. Therefore, the automatic flow of traffic is determined by the design of the lot. Mr. Kondrick stated if 25� to 30� of the customer base will be going north, they will likely choose to swing down 73rd Avenue to University Avenue. Mr. Larson stated he agrees with this. The other nice thing about the design.is if they do exit out the southwestern driveway they would not cross oncoming traffic that the liquor store would be creating. Mr. Kondrick asked if the driveways will accommodate two cars at both openings. � If so, would it be possible to direct the traffic to always enter and exit the way that it is proposed. If this were possib�e, there would be more stacking space. �� Ms. McPherson�stated•the City does have the aption and flexibility to create this as a right-in type situation. Mr. G1En VanWormer was present to answer questions in regard to the traffic concerns. • Mr. VanWormer stated they had completed a traffic study of the proposed site and put together a short repnrt. Tn the report they did three things. They looked at the traffic that would be generated by the liquor store of the proposed size. They also did some comparisons on different types of uses that could be on this site. The traffic volwnes range from 35 cars for a car repair use to 225 for a large bank of a fast-food restaurant. These are all peak hour figures. Mr. Sielaff asked if they have a sense of how much stacking will occur making a left-hand turn onto 73rd Avenue. Mr. vanWormer stated looking a signal cycle action, two or three cars would likely be backed up during peak hours of store operation. One of the biggest conflicts will be with the residential area which has a lot of outbound traffic in the morning. Whatever goes into the �ite, it should be one that generates evening traffic. 17.31 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 19, 1995 PAG$ 8 Mr. Sielaff asked how long they anticipate a car having to wait at that intersection beFore they could turn. - Mr. VanWormer stated just guessing, he would say it would be rare that a car would be there longer than two signal cycles on University or more than 1 to 1.75 minutes. Mr. Oquist asked if there has been an opportunity to have conversations or discussions with the neighbors to the north and south in regard to the project prior to this time. Mr. Larson stated they did not anticipate any significant controversy as they assumed that this particular use on a commercial or retail basis would be less intrusive than some of the other possible uses. Mr. Kondrick asked if lighting has been discussed for the proposed st�re. Mr. Pribyl state3 they have discussed this with the architect on several occasions. They have discussed putting a berm with the landscaping to make sure that there is no ligYsting from the head2ights of the vehicles entering the area �ou1d shine over into the residential area. Ms. McPherson stated that she spoke with the project architect today saho stated that at a minimum there would be one parking lot standard with a possibility of as many as two. These would be short standards, roughly 15 - 20 feet in�hei�ht an3 would use'the down-cast shoe box type design to control the light. Mr. Pribyl stated as far as the store�lighting is concerned, there is not anything on the exterior of the store that has a high illumination factor. There are not any bright lights that actually shine on the building or cast off the buildinq. Mr. Kondrick asked if they were considering any motion lights or if they would all be fixed lights. Mr. Pribyl stated there would be one backlit board shining toward the intersection of 73rd and University Avenues, and one backlit board on the University Avenue side. One of staff's considerations was to keep the 73rd Avenue sign from being highly illuminated. Mr. Newman asked if the zoning was kept as it currently is, how large of a facility could be constructed on the site? Ms. McPherson stated the parcel is 2.4 acres. Assuming that you could cover 40� of the lot with the building, a building of 41,000 square feet could be constructed. However, parking would 17.32 PLANNING COMMIggION MEETING APRIL 19 1995 PAGE 9 still need to be figured in, so that could bring the total square footage down considerably. Mr. Hickok stated to further answer the question about the �" building size in relationship to the number of parking stalls, different uses in a building determine the actual ratio used. Realistically with parking, it would probably be nearer to 30,000 square foot building with adequate parking. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Pamela Zembal of 7340 Concerto Curve stated she has a petition containing 234 signatures opposing the location of the liquor store at 73rd and University Avenues. There are several reasons for this opposition. 1) Aow will this impact the public health of the community? This faces a busy road, is located in the middle of three elementary schools, four parks, Rice Creek trails and �laces where c�ne can�expect youth to gather. It is we21 known that 60� of 9th grade students say that it is very easy�to purchase alcohol. She thinks the City is encouraging this by placing a store in this location. 2) In 1990,. the Ci.ty was �ooking.for alternative sites for the stoz�e. There were three proposed sites - Moore Lake Commons, East River Road & Osborne Roaci, and Uni��ersity Avenue and 57th Avenue. It seems very suddenly, the store site has been changed to 73rd and Uni�ersity. She had no idea where any of this came from. L,00king at the three pr�posed sites, the estimated cost of the building was going to be roughly� $700,000. Now they are looking at a different site and $1.4 million. She has heard some figure of a 13 - 33�.return on the investment. To get a 13� to 33� return on this type of investment, liquor profits would have to be about $400,000/year. The City of Fridiey has had municipal liquor stores for 27 years and generally they make about $180,000 per year profit. She does not see how the City could possibly feel they could get a profit margin of 13- 33%. When Fridley decides they are not making enough money with this liquor store, then what? Will it be let out to any private company in the retail liquor business? 3j She would like to know if the amount of police time and money that is being put into the DARE project is going to be born at all by the profits of the liquor store. We are giving very mixed messages to our children. We have this drug abuse reduction with the DARE project and we have Officer Friendly at the same time that we are having a very, very visible liquor store and encouraging children just by the placement of this liquor store to drink. We are going 17.33 PLANNING COMMI88ION MEETING APRIL 19 1995 PAQE 10 to be having a lot of excess traffic along the service road of University Avenue down towards and in front of the Colwnbia Arena. That will be a hazard to the children there and at the parks. She also feels that we are going to be doing some real damage to Rice Creek. There is going to be an amazing increase in trash there and as such she will be filing tomorrow with the Environmental Quality Board a request or petition to do a MPAW report on this project. She feels it will have a real impact on the environment of Rice Creek. 4) She would like to know if provisions have been made to increase police coverage for the parks around the area and the residential areas so that we don't have peaple stopping at the liquor store on the way home and going up to the park to drink the liquor rather than travel the very heavily patrolled University Avenue or Central Avenue, and taking residential streets which are not as heavily patrolled. She w�uld like to know what kind of liability coverage this store is going to be carrying so that when, not if, an accident occurs, the lawsuits are nat going �o stop with the person who is probably not insured anyhow. What kind of extra police coverage will they have and what kind of liability coverage will the liquor store have so that when a product is purchased and consumed and an accident happens we are going to have some protection against lawsuits. 5) What kind of criminal history checks and training are going to be done far the employees. There are anly going to be four pex-manent full �ime employees; the rest of them will be part time employees. She would like to know, if criminal history checks and training will be done to prevent underage consumption and parking lot consumption. Ms. Zembal stated that back in 1990 when the industry began to look for a new site, it seems to have been well thought and planned out - it now appears to have been pulled out of a Friday night poker game or something right now. All of the sudden, the City has changed the site, the size, the planning has not been done that looks like they are doing a serious business. That is why they are opposed to having the liquor store placed there. Ms. Zembal forwarded the petition to the Planning Commission, which contained 344 signatures. MOTION by Oquist, seconded by Mr. Kondrick to accept the petition as presented. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL MEMBERS VOTING AYE, THE MOTION WAS CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY. 17.34 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 19 '1995 PAaE 11 Mr. Newman stated the Planning Commission's first involvement with this particular application was tonight. The five questions that Ms. Zembal outlined were addressed by Mr. Rick Pribyl._ Mr. Pribyl stated some of the questions they would not be able to answer as they related to public safety issues which involved the Police Department. Mr. Pribyl stated that in regard to the prior three locations, back in 1989 and 1990 the search was not as in-depth as this one was. This site was actually being viewed by the Liquor Store Manager, but because of the wetland issue at that point in time, a different Liquor Store Manager chose not to actually pursue any remediation possibilities for the site. That site was actually eliminated and they chose to pursue another site. Mr. Pribyl stated the City recognizes the implications with the moral issues and has the responsibility to make sure that what they propose to th� City Council is financially feasible. This site is probably the best site the City has ever Iooked at in regard to retail off-sale operation. Tne current site that they have has been a temporary location and was not by any means first �hoice for location. • Mr.�Priby��stated that in�regard�'to whether- the liquor store ' contributes to the DARE program, Mr. Pribyl stated this is a. policy decision that the City Council actually reviews each and every year as they go thraugh the budget process. This is an option and probab�y one of many that the Counail will k�e dealing with if and whzn the site actuall•y develops. T�o�e pro�i.ts wi1Z be re appropriated into whatever general fund activities the Council sees fit. Currently, it has not contributed to the DARE program only because the City knew that the Mississippi site was only a temporary site. - Mr. Pribyl stated that in regard to the City's return on their investments, the $400,000 is actually the best scenario that came through the marketing analysis. The higher end return on investment was associated with approximately $400,000. This was the highest end projection the marketing analyst actually provided to the City. Mr. Larson stated the market analysis that came back on the store gave us a worst case/likely case/most likely/optimistic and best case. Everything was based on the most likely case, but it�is their goal to have the best case. The most likely, as far as a net basis is somewhere in the area of $300,000 income. The questions in regard to police patrol of the parks, etc., was a public safety issue and could not be addressed by either Mr. Larson or Mr. Pribyl. 17.35 PLANNING COMMISSION ME$TING, APRIL 19. 1995 PAGE 12 Mr. Pribyl stated that in regard to liability insurance, they are required to carry Dram Shop coverage which is in the area of $600,000. This is the maximum amount of insurance required�by the State. Mr. Larson stated in regard to the criminal history checks for employees of the liquor store, they are performed on aiI employees by the Fridley Policy Department. Employees are trained and certified and they are visited by the Police Department at their regular staff ineetings. Mr. Pribyl informed the commissioners that candidates have been rejected in the past based on information obtained during their criminal history check. Mr. Larson stated in 1993 $23,000 was designated to the Alexander House, in 1994 $75,000 worth of liquor profits were designated to another human service organization. The profits for 1995 have not been designated. Mr. Sielaff asked how the wetland issue was resolved. Mr. Pribyl��stated a consultant was actually hired to define and examine the particular property to determine if it existed as a we�land. In 1988 or 1989 the property was defined by the DNR as a wetland. Actually no examination was made of the property itself at that time. The City hired a consultant to go on the property and dig trenches and examine the soil conditions. Their report back to the City was that a wetland did not exist. Mr. Oquist asked if there was concerns as to the environmental impact of this development on Rice Creek. Mr. Pribyl stated he was not aware of any potential impact. Mr. Bill Holm of 7424 Melody Drive asked if the Planning Commission considers the profit of the liquor operation in evaluating the request. Mr. Newman stated no, their role is strictly limited to the land use plans standpoint. Mr. Holm stated this is a rather interesting request for rezoning in that one portion of the government is asking for that zoning change from another portion of the City government. He asked how the staff looks at this as compared to a private developer coming in and asking for a liquor store. Mr. Newman stated it is a unique situation, however it is not unusual. There are other requests such as these, such as requests for certain uses at the Columbia lce Arena which 17.36 PLANNING COMMISgION MEETING APRIL 19 1995 PAG$ 13 involves the county's approval. Mr. Holm also asked if any consideration was given as to relocating the liquor store at the Mississippi Street and University Avenue site ("The Gymp) which for some time was vacant and zoned C-2. Mr. Pribyl stated yes, however it was very expensive and also the traffic patterns of the property as far as entering and existing the site did not flow well. Mr. Holm stated he is concerned about the traffic flow to and from his neighborhood. This situation is similar to the CUB situation which occurred several years ago and he feels the Planning Commission should consider being consistent in its evaluation of those.requests. This situation is just as intrusive as the CUB situation. The neighbors say the zoning should be left as it is. This is what was expected when they moved into the neighborhood and the� see no reason to change it. They view the 35 foot setback rather than 100 ft. setback as a significant issue. Finally, he and the other neigYibors care about their neighborhood. He has been there for 27 years. They have neighbarhood garage sales, softball games, and they care about the area. They do not approve of the liquor store as shown by the petition and they feel the Planning Commission shouid take that into consideration. ' Ms. Gail Roufs of 7686 Van Buren Street stated she has a fifth grader and an eighth grader, and as a family they use the bike paths quite frequently, aften between th� 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. time period. As a result of discussing the proposal with her fifth � grader, she went to school and discussed the issue with her classmates. The students recently graduated from a 17-week DARE program. At the graduation, the 17eputy Commissioner of the Police Department spoke very pointedly to the parents about what examples they are setting for their children and alcohol abuse specifics. He talked about how much decrease in Police coverage would occur if alcohol consumption was less. As a result of this discussion, the fifth graders of her daughter's class were very upset by the fact that this proposal was not consistent with the example and teachings they have had over the past seventeen weeks. The teacher shared that she had a very hard time controlling the fifth graders. The classroom drafted a letter to the City of Fridley in regard to this proposal. Ms. Roufs proceeded to read the letter: "Dear City Council: We are fifth grade completed the DARE alcohol, drugs and students in Fridley. program which taught violence prevention. 17.37 We have just us about We are PLANNING COMMISBION MEETING, APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 14 concerned about the new location of the liquor store near a bike path. The customers of the liquor store may be dangerous to bikers and pedestrians who use the� path. We think that a new location where children don't ride bikes or play would be safer. Sincerely, Grade 5 Woodcrest School"(signed by 22 fifth grade students) Ms. Roufs stated she would like to formally submit this letter to the Planning Commission. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba to receive the letter from the Woodcrest School students. UPON A VOICE VO�'E, ALL VOTIl�TG AYE, CHAIRPLRSON NEWMAN DSCLARED T$E MOTIOPi CARRIED iJNANIMOiJBLY. Ms. Ann Hagen of 551 Rice Creek Boulevard stated she is a resident of Holiday Hills and whenever there is a hockey game or show at the Col.umbia lce Arena; the traffic is backed up substantially at the 69th traffic light. Her children have taken piano lessons from a resident of Melody Manner and for five years she has had to cross the intersection and she feels the liquor store will only add t� the traffic and congestion. Ms. Hagen stated she walks to the park and as a resident takes pride in the area. There are occasionally beer bottles laying around now; when there are sports events, there_are_more bottles and trash. She is sure that the access to liquor wili be an issue. Ms. Hagen stated that her daughter went through the DARE program also and was upset about the proposal as well, with the visibility and access to the bike trails. Mr. Jim Plocienik of 7507 Tempo Terrace stated he signed the petition but did it without knowing a thing about it. After reviewing the information, he would like to rescind his signature. It seems there is a lot of opposition just due to the fact that it is a liquor store. He would like to have his name scratched from the petition. Mr. Jerry of 6110 Star Lane stated he agrees that maybe the City should have a liquor store in that location. With the profits the City will generate, the residents will all benefit. With all the taxes going up, he would give anything to somehow lower his. It sounds to him like residents do not want anything on the site. 17.38 PLANNING COMMI88ION MEETING APRIL 19 1995 PAQE 15 It is his feeling that the property should be used for something. Would they prefer a garage there? He cannot imagine opposition to a nice, clean run, well packaged operation. Mr. Quentin Freeburg of 301 Rice Creek Terrace stated he came to represent the membership at the Woodcrest Baptist Church which is located at 6875 University Avenue. He had a copy of a letter addressed to the Mayor's office from their pastor which he would like to read and submit to the record. Mr. Freeburg proceeded to read the letter. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Madig to accept the letter as presented. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL MEMBERS VOTZNG AYE, CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY. Mr. Freeburg stated he had one question he would like addressed, that being the distance between the intersection of the service road at 73rd Avenue and University Avenue. Mr. Newman responded that it is approximately 285 feet. Mr. F�eeburg stated since most o� that traffic is.northbound, it would be safe to-presume that��once-th�y-make that left turn�from the service road onto 73rd, they will be moving into the right turn lane to continue north on University Avenue. This means that within 285 feet they will have to cross three lanes of eastbound and three lanes of westbound traffic. This could lead to considerable traffic back �p and congestion at that intersection. � � He stated his final point is of the three criteria that Michelle mentioned, the second one has to d"o with compatibility with adjacent sites. He thinks a lot greater consideration should be given to compatibility with neighboring sites. The neighboring sites being the community softbali facilities across the street, Columbia Arena, Locke Park, the residents and the church and school that are located there. Mr. Freeburg stated on the formal notice that was published in the Fridley Focus issue on April llth, it did not mention, as the agenda does, the purpose for the rezoning. It mentioned the rezoning, it mentioned the plat, and it mentioned the address but nowhere did it mention the purpose of the rezoning was for a municipal liquor store. He thinks this may have been a gross error judgment in making that public notice. Mrs. Marge Tangren of 7368 Symphony Street stated she would like to know how many cars can stack in the 285 foot area from the service road at 73rd Avenue to University Avenue. 17.39 PLANNING COMMIBSION MEETING, APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 16 Mr. Newman stated the area allows for approximately 14 car lengths. Ms. Tangren stated she lives on Symphony Street and she knows of ten small children who go across 73rd Avenue to the biking path. Ms. Tangren stated that she is also concerned about drinking problems that may increase as result of the new location. She stated there are lots of apartment buildings, and many of the residents do not have vehicles. By having a liquor store within walking distance, they will have greater access to liquor. Ms. Tangren stated there is an apartment building in the area that has been rehabilitated for women who are abstaining fram liquor. What will a liquor store that is in close proximity of their homes do for them? Mr. Tom Rafferty �f 148 Horizon Cixcle stated he was in attendance to speak in favor of the rezoning of the property. The property as it is right now (�eavy industrial) will never be used. Whether it is used as a liquor store, convenience store, a gas station or whatever, it will not be heavy industrial. The zoning needs to be changed. Mr. Chester Burkowitz of 7370 Concerto Curve stated he is in opposition to the City of Fridley being in the liquor business. He stated he is also in opposition to the rezoning because of the traffic and also for the purpose of erecting a building for the purpose o� selling alcohol. Alcoho� has caused a lot of unnecessary deaths, created a lot of domestic abuse, broken marriages, battered women, child abuse and in many instances deprived children of food. Why should the City of-Fridley promote and encourage sales of a special kind of building in an area such as 73rd and University, with a hockey arena, churches, bike path, etc. On 59th and University Avenue there is a building specifically for peopZe who have a drinking problem. Just a little bit further down University, the City of Fridley wants to put in an establishment to encourage people to buy liquor. He does not see a need for a building such as that. If the City needs to have a liquor building establishment, put it somewhere else less conspicuous. Mr. Burkowitz noted it has been stated by someone in the paper that it brings in approximately $100,000 in revenue per year. Think about the money that has been lost due to the damage it has done to families caused by accidents and the abuse, loss of work. Also, with the cost of the new building, it will take approximately ten to twelve years to show a profit assuming the $100,000/year profit. 17.40 PLANNING COMMISgION MEETING APRIL 19 1995 PA 8 17 Mr. Burkowitz stated that he is opposed to the rezoning, due to the traffic, the close proximity of it to Columbia Arena and the bike paths. The location is inviting, encouraging people to use it alcohol. We should fight alcohol, not encouraqe it. � Mr. A1 Quam of 399 73rd Avenue stated he thinks it is a bad idea. The location is a premier site from a marketing standpoint but it is totally disregarding the church, park and bike trails. Mr. Quam asked what percentage of this net is it in terms of City revenue. Is it 1/2$ or is it 5$? Mr. Pribyl stated it is probably in the area of 6� as compared t� the general fund appropriations. Mr. Quam stated this is not very significant. echo the comments of some residents. They do changed. The liquor store will increase the He asked who currently owns that property. I"Ir. Pribyl stated it is owned by C.P. Rail. He would like to not wanfi the zoning amount of traffic. Mr. �uaxn noted that somebody said the prQperty will never be used if they do not develop it for the liquor store. He stated this may�not be such a bad idea. It could be used for a rest stap for the park-and trail" systems. He would urge the commission not to approve this. If the City must have a liquor store, do it elsewhere because there are alternatives. Be more sensitive and up front with the neighborhoads ta begir� with. Mr. Rich I,arsan of 5861 Fifth Street stated �he moved into Fridley 30 years ago. About one year ago, the City decided to put in a pawn shop in the oid Holiday gas station. He was opposed to this, however there have been no problems, they have cleaned the station up and it looks better. Mr. Larson stated that he is in favor of rezoning the property, and getting on with business. Suzanne Holm of 7424 Melody Drive stated she is concerned about the traffic and feels there should be a separate exit. IInless the service road would be moved over, it will encourage traffic to shoot over to Symphony Street and cut through the neighborhood. Mr. John Miller of 7350 Lyric Lane stated he feels one of the problems is access. There is vacant property on the northwest corner which is zoned C-2. Why not use that property? Mr. Miller also noted the traffic problems and congestion that he feels will be generated by the liquor store. 17.41 PLANNING COMMI$SION MEETING, APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 18 George Johnson of 210 Rice Creek Terrace stated he does not live in the particular area. He is near where the current liquor store is and he does not like to drive out on Mississippi Street on Friday nights or Saturdays or before a holiday because the drivers are very aggressive. This is because they have been drinking or will be drinking and that is one of the problems. He sympathizes with the people in the proposed area. He thinks that the increased profit that may come only amounts to 2$, figuring on a$10,000,000 total revenue, and that hardly warrants that kind of traffic problem and hazard to people living in the area. He feels that if the City would consider leaving the place open for possible car repair business or a fast food business or bank, he thinks the City could have a legitimate business in that area which is next to a residential area and also a recreational area. That is the kind of business that is really wanted there. Mr. Tim Breider of 7550 Tempo Terrace stated he thinks that the whole thing boils down to whether the City is willing to protect the integrity of the zoning laws or the peo�le who are saying they don't want the liquor store there. He is opposed to the rezoning. Mr. Will Lynn of 7370 Memory Lane stated from what he gathered from the articles in the paper, the City intends to generate business from people that are coming from the south up University Avenue and going to where they live in Anoka, Ste Cloud, or wherever or they are on their way up North. His questions is, is the City going to listen to the people that live in Fridley or the people that go through Fridley and simply stop to buy liquor in the town. He is opposed to it, and opposed to the City of Fridley even thinking about having a liquor store. Mrs. Will Lynn of 7370 Memory Lane stated she has two granddaughters that use the bike traii and it is a favorite place. They turn around that corner and they go over to Columbia Arena. She can just see the traffic going in there. She thinks we need to think about the leqacy we will leave to our children and grandchildren. She shutters to think about telling her granddaughter what the big sign near the store says. What are we promoting in our "friendly Fridley"? Lets be friendly to the people who live there and to the morals and standards that we are trying to teach our children and grandchildren. "Let's decide against this." • Ms. Ann Hagen stated so much has been mentioned about the bike trails. She would just like to invite the commissioners to schedule in a walk through the areas that you can access by bike or walking so they can see what the residents are anxious not to ruin. 17.42 PLANNING COMMISgION MEBTING APRIL 19 1995 PAGE 19 Ms. Leah Price of 7428 Melody Drive stated she grew up in the neighborhood and just purchased a house in the neighborhood. She is very much against building a liquor store there. She fee�ls the City should be looking into human concerns. Are we about money and business in the City or are we about people? Ms. Price agrees that it should be made into more of a landscaping area. Why does anything need to be built there? She moved out of Spring Lake Park away from establishments - liquor stores, car repair, etc. Fridley is becoming that way. There are so many reasons presented by residents not to rezone the property, she thinks that money is a poor reason to do it. There were no more residents who wished to be heard at the public hearing. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff to close the public hearing at 9:30 p.m. IIPON A VOICE �OTE, ALL MEMBERS pOTI3dG AYE, CHAIRPERSON NETi9MAI�► DECLARED TH� PIIBLI� HEARING CLdSED. Mr. Sielaff stated he empathizes with all of the residents and their feelings about this particular rezoning. He felt it necessary to go back to why as a Planning Commission.they are here. They do not really address whether the City is in the liquor business or not. Basically they have to address the �and use and if it i.s appropriate to rezone into a new land use. Presently it is z�ned as heavy industrial and they are considering rezoning it to C-2. Data suggests that•there is going to be some increase in traffic but dependa.ng upon what direation the main traffic flow wiil go (towards the north), it should not be a problem. He is concerned about the general location of the parks to the iiquor store. Iie does not know that having a liquor store will increase or decrease the problems, but he does know that there have not been any problems at the current location and its neighborhood.. He does not necessary feel that this location will be any different. He would have to say that based on whether this is an appropriate rezoning or not, he feels it is justifiable to rezone the property. Ms. Modig stated the arguments against the rezoning are valid, but the fact is the land will not be used for heavy industrial. She is somewhat concerned about the traffic and feels there are some problems which will need to be addressed. The present liquor store is in a neighborhood that has churches, businesses and residential areas. She would be in favor of rezoning the property. � Mr. Kondrick stated the only thing that is of a concern to him is the bike trail. He feels the residents have a valid point about 17.43 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 20 that and getting kids and adults off the streets and having access to the east side of the street down to the Columbia Arena parking lot. He feels any facility that is put there will - generate traffic. He does not feel it will remain heavy industrial. The people who own the property will do all that they can to try to encourage that something be built on the property. Some of the other possibilities for the site could generate more traffic that the liquor store. He feels if it is done right and in a sharp way, it could be an asset to the City of Fridley. Being Chairman of the Park & Recreation Commission, he is concerned about the parks that are adjacent, thus his concern about the bike trail. However he does not think that the liquor store will cause more bottles in Locke Park or Columbia Arena. He feels a class liquor store with good landscaping and proper lighting would be an asset to the community and he is in favor of rezoning the property to C-2. Mr. Oquist asked if this was a request to rezone C-2 or was it a request to build a liquor store. Planning Commission approved the rezoning wi�hout the liquor store on that site? the property What if the the approval to of Ms. McPherson stated this is possible that the City Council could approve the rezoning of the property to be consistent with the comprehensive plan as it was approved in 1990. They could also decide not to bring a liquor store in and reZocate somewhere else. Th� request is consistent with other rezoning requests in which the City typica�ly requires a proposal before it will consider a rezoning so they are treating themselves like they would treat any other developer. Mr. Oquist stated he is a little surprised that the City did not anticipate the opposition. He thinks the City would have been better served had they taken a little time and met with the people in the area and tried to explain what the situation was. He feels the City should have tried to work with the neighborhood and attempt a compromise if possible. Mr. Oquist stated he believes the property does need to be rezoned to C-2. He does not know if putting a liquor store on the property is the right thing for it, but he feels it either needs to be rezoned to C-2 or make a park out of it. It has been there for so long, and there have been many proposals made. It is time to do something. He does not know if it is the right place for a park to be. Mr. Oquist stated he is in favor of the rezoning. He feels the package that has been put together is a decent package. He does not see it causing a lot of problems for the parks and ball 17.44 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 19 1995 PAGE 21 fields. People will get their alcohol regardless of where it is located. Mr. Saba stated he has mixed feelings about the rezoning. Morally, he agrees with a lot of the comments made however, if the City of Fridley got out of the liquor business, it could not prevent someone from coming in and selling alcohol. Mr. Saba stated he has traveled Mississippi Street often and has not noticed any problems on Friday or Saturday evenings from the operation of the liquor store there. Mr. Saba stated he also bikes the trails that were mentioned by area residents. He does feel that 90 trips to and from the store can be managed. He would like to think that the City would consult with the public safety people on the location of a liquor store there in terms of the proximity to the park, the billiards hall and the other areas that the City has ind�cated as "problem areas". He has hopes that these discussions will take place prior to the City Council meeting. Mr. Saba stated he would have to concur with fellow commissioners and approve the rezbning rec�est. Mr. Newman stated he also agrees with�the r-est of the � . commissioners. He feels the residents should have a say about neighboring issues and there is the opportunity for the City to respond to the concerns raised by residents in regard to lighting, sEtback, traffic, and the bik� path.

Hunt, Assistant to the City Manager✓��L�%�� Site Lease Agreement with American Portable Tel.ecom (APT) September 26, 1996 I am enclosing the site lease agreement which city staff has negotiated with American Portable Telecom (APT). We have used the model site lease agreement developed by the League of Minnesota Cities {LMC) as a basis. The, agreement is also available in legislative form which makes it•clear where we have added to or subtracted from the LMC model document. The lease agreement allows APT to place three sets of three antennas for digital personal communications systems on the water tower at 6960 N.E. Highway 65. The top of each antenna array will be located on the water tower support structure 105 feet above the ground. A fifteen foot by twenty foot equipment area will be located inside the water tower support structure at ground level. John F3:ora and I worked together on the negotiati�ns. We consulted with Attorney James Strommen, Stan Peskar from the LMC, several people from the LMC Insurance Trust, and City Attorney Frederic Knaak. We were close to an agreement in early August when APT attorneys raised a number of issues which were eventually resolved in communications with the City Attorney. l. Estoppel Language The APT attorneys added broad estoppel language to Section 26. Miscellaneous. Mr. Knaak worked out more narrow language which is now incorporated into Section 16. Assignment. 2. Waiver of Subrogation After much discussion we agreed to APT's language which has been added to Section 10. � Memorandum to William W. Burns Site Lease Agreement with American Portable Telecom (,a,PT) September 26, 1996 Page Two 3. �3rbitration as Sole Remedy " APT finally agreed to the LMC language in Section 18 regarding disputes to be resolved by mediation and arbitration rather than by lawsuits in court. We have agreed on an annual rent� of $12,000.00 which will go up each year by three percent (3.0�) or the rise in the consumer price index - whichever is higher. The initial lease lasts until December 31, 2001. After that APT has the option of three five year renewals. � - I request that you present this site lease agreement to the Fridley City Council for consideration at their meeting of September 30, 1996. c: John G.
