PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND CHAPTER 205 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE, ENTITLED "ZONING," AND CHAPTER 211, ENTITLED "SUBDIVISION," TO COMPLY WITH MINNESOTA STATUTE 15.99, "60 DAY AGENCY ACTION LAW : ,� MOTION by Councilman Billings to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at 7:56 p.m. Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, said the State of Minnesota adopted a law that would require municipalities to process their land use applications in a timely fashion. The City's process has been reviewed and refined for a number of land use applications. The proposed amendments are to bring the City into compliance with this law and ensure that these land use matters are processed within the sixty-day time period. Mr. Hickok reviewed the new land use application processes for variances, special use permits, vacations, lot splits, rezoning and zoning text amendments, plats, comprehensive plan amendments, and wetland replacement plans. Public hearings before the Council would only be for rezoning, zoning text amendments, plats, and comprehensive plan amendments. Hearings on all other items would be conducted at the Planning Commission level. In addition, there would be a Charter amendment which the Charter Commission will discuss at their next meeting. The Planning Commission has recommended approval of these changes to Chapters 205 and 211. Councilman Schneider asked what would happen if Council did not act within the sixty-day period. Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that if the City did not act within the sixty days, the action being sought is automatically approved. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if residents would be able to make their concerns known rather than waiting until the next Council meeting since action would be taken the same night as the public hearing. Mr. Hickok stated that the public hearings before the Planning Commission would be televised. The plan is to broadcast Commission FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 1996 PAGE 8 meetings on the cable channel. This would give ample time for citizens to submit comments before an item is before Council. Councilman Schneider stated that it would then be more important for citizens to appear at the Planning Commission meetings since that will be the only public hearing held on some requests. Councilman Schneider stated that if an application is incomplete, he understands that a waiver can be signed to go beyond the sixty- day limit. Mr. Guhanick, 55 66th Way N.E., asked the means for notifying persons about a rezoning for those who do not have cable television. Mr. Hickok stated that the 5tate law is clear about notification, everyone within 350 feet of the property to be rezoned is notified by mail. A legal notice is also published in the City's official newspaper. Councilwoman Bolkcom suggested that the taped Planning Commission meetings be available.at the library. Councilwoman Jorgenson also suggested that these tapes be available at the Municipal Center. Mr. Hickok stated that these tapes would be on file at the Municipal Center. Councilman Schneider asked if a sign was posted on the property. Mr. Hickok stated that posting a sign on the property is not done. Ms. Dacy stated that in the past the posting of signs has been done only for rezonings. Staff is evaluating the costs for signs for some of the land use applications, such as variances, subdivisions, and rezonings. No other persons in the audience spoke regarding the proposed amendments to Chapters 205 and 211. MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson 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 8:15 p.m. 14. PUBLIC HEARING FOR ASSESSMENT FOR THE EAST RIVER ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. ST. 1994-03: MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and open the publ.ic hearing. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at 8:15 p.m. FRTDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 1996 PAGE 9 Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that this assessment roll is for the East River Road Improvement Project No. ST. 1994-03 which involved the improvement on East River Road from Hartman Circle to Glen Creek Road. The total cost of the project is $189,617.02. Mr. Pribyl stated that $46,080.21 is being assessed aqainst the affected property owners for curb and gutter, with the remaining amount of $143,590.81 paid from the City's Capital Improvement Ftiind. The assessment may be spread over a ten-year period at an interest rate of 6-1/2 percent. Mr. Pribyl stated that the $9.00 per front foot assessment was established early in the improvement process based on curb and gutter. This $9.00 cost is maintained across the project area for that year. He was not sure whether the final cost was in on this project when the assessment process was developed for the bond issue. He understands that the contract the County let on this project was very favorable. The proposed assessment of $9.00 per front foot is the uniform adjustment. Mrs. Janice Hammerstrom, 6931 East River Road N.E., stated that the cost to the City for this project was $5.75 a front foot. Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that for this particular project, the County received very good prices. In the next segment of this project, the costs will probably be higher, and the City tries to keep the prices the same for everyone. Mrs. Hammerstrom stated that she spoke with the County, and they told her that the cost of the concrete curb and gutter for which the City will be billed was $23,422 covering a total of 4,073.5 lineal feet. This amounts to $5.75 a foot or a difference of $3.25 from the actual cost being assessed. Mr. Flora stated that the County will not finalize the cost until the total project is completed. Mrs. Hammerstrom stated that in her correspondence regarding this assessment, it states that she is being assessed only for concrete curb and gutter. The balance is to be paid by other services. Councilman Schneider questioned if costs were being averaged for all the projects done in this year. Mr. Flora stated that that was true. The numbers are slanted, as the City has to pay for other items such as medians, storm water, and sanitary sewer improvements. There is a different distribution of costs the County passes along to the City. The City will be charging for all the concrete curb and gutter that was installed in this project. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 1995 PAGE 10 Mrs. Hammerstrom asked if she is being assessed only for curb and gutter based totally on the front footage of her property. Mr. Flora stated that it is based on the front footage, and she is paying for all the concrete installed in this project. Mrs. Hammerstrom stated that there is a retaining wall that faces East River Road for properties that front on Hartman Circle. She questioned if she was paying for the curb and gutter in front of this retaining wall. Mr. Flora stated that the City is only assessing the front footage and not side yards. Only persons who face the street pay the front foot assessment for the improvements. Councilman Schneider stated that what is in question is the amount being assessed per front foot. The City has to recoup the total cost of the curb and gutter. The formula the City has used for years is that property owners do not pay a side yard assessment. This cost is split between the property owners down the block. Mrs. Hammerstrom stated that the $46,080 being assessed to the property owners is double what the County stated was the cost for the curb and gutter. If the total lineal feet of concrete curb and gutter was 4,073.5 and owners were charged $9.00 a front foot, the cost would be about $36,657 or still $10,000 higher than what is being assessed back to the property owners. Mrs. Hammerstrom stated that perhaps there is also a question of the moral issue on how the City could charge twice the actual cost of the curb and gutter. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that there seems to be two different amounts, and she would like to know the correct amount of footage. Mrs. Hammerstrom stated that if the property owners are assessed from the end of this year for the curb and gutter, it means the property owners are being assessed at 6-1I2 percent interest for two years before the final bill is even received from the County. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked when the City receives the final costs from the County. Mr. Flora stated that when the County has all their final numbers they notify the City. This is a 1994 project, and the City still does not have all the figures. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked how the charges can be assessed if the City has not received a billing for the costs. Mr. Pribyl stated that the Internal Revenue Service instituted new rules for the way reimbursement bonds are sold. The City has a FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 1996 PAGE 11 short window of opportunity to sell debt on this improvement project. The assessment pays the costs over a long period of time. Until the City can recoup the assessment, there is a cash flow problem. Councilman 5chneider stated that the question is whether the City assesses the estimate or actual cost. Mr. Flora stated that on City streets, the actual cost is assessed. The City has estimates from the County and is trying to obtain the bonding. Councilman Schneider stated that he would like to know how many lineal feet of concrete was installed and how much the City is assessing. Mayor Nee stated that the issue Mrs. Hammerstrom raises is very valid. Councilwoman several years The City has proj ect . Bolkcam stated that it seems like it could take before the City knows the actual cost of the project. to come up with a figure in order to assess the Mr. Flora stated that last year the assessment was less than what was actual�y paid. Councilman Billings asked where the figure of $189,671 for the total cost of the project was obtained. Mr. Pribyl stated that it was from communications with the County. This was their best guess for the total cost of the project. He receives the total contract costs. Councilman Billings asked if the costs can be broken down. There are two things that are troubling to him. He was under the impression that Council established a$9.00 front foot rate as being the maximum to be assessed. However, that actual costs would be assessed, but would not exceed $9.00 a foot or whatever dollar amount was established for that particular year. He understood if the costs were less then the City would be assessing less. Councilman Billings stated that if, in fact, the figures quoted by Mrs. Hammerstrom are correct, it was his understanding that the City should be assessing $5.75 a front foot for the East River Road properties regardless of whether or not some other street improvements are more costly for the City. In terms of properties where there is no front footage, he thought this cost was coming out of the general city funds. In any case, he would like to see the actual figures for the cost of curb and gutter on East River Road. There is a question in his mind as to whether or not a FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 1996 PAGE 12 particular property benefits from curb and gutter installed two blocks away. Councilman Schneider stated that his reference to assessing for side yards was, basically, for street improvements. He did not know what is done for curb and gutter. Mr. James Sandstrom, 6941 East River Road N.E., stated that he is being assessed for too much frontage. Councilman Billings stated that if Mr. Sandstrom's property is on a curve, this would extend his frontage. Mr. Sandstrom presented several maps, one indicating 127.68 feet and another indicating 113.61 feet. He is being assessed for 117.68 feet. Councilwoman Bolkcom asked how the front footage is established. Mr. Flora stated that this information is taken from the plat maps. Mr. Sandstrom's maps do not reflect property frontages, but are survey maps which do not reflect descriptions. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated she felt that Council does not have sufficient information to proceed. Councilwoman Bolkcom asked what would happen if Council did not act on the item this evening. Mr. Pribyl stated that the project will probably have to be assessed next year. Councilman Schneider stated that it is difficult to proceed without having the figures and breakdown. Mr. Guhanick, 55 66th Way N.E., stated that with this assessment, it is about $300 higher than what was expected. Property owners would be paying 6-1/2 percent for several years before the bill even arrives. When Council plans these projects, he would ask them to take into consideration the folks that have been laid off. There are a lot of people who cannot afford these improvements and do not qualify for deferment. He is particularly talking about this project and the $9.00 a front foot figure being used for all City properties. No other persons in the audience spoke regarding this proposed assessment. MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to continue this public hearing to the next meeting on November 4 and direct staff to submit further data on this project. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28 1996 PAGE 13 voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. 15. PUBLIC HEARING ON ASSESSMENT FOR THE MAIN STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO.

There is also a$3.03 per 100 square feet based on 75 percent lot coverage for storm sewer. The assessment will be certified for ten years at an interest rate of 6-1/2 percent. Councilman Schneider asked if this was the actual cost and if these figures were from the County. He questioned the cost for concrete curb and gutter and if the $8.00 a front foot is a true figure or an estimate. Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that it was an estimate, but it came out at $8.00. The City does not have the final figures from the County, as the County has not completed the project.

Upon a voice vote, Councilman Billings, FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 1996 PAGE 16 Councilwoman Jorgenson, Councilman Schneider, and Mayor Nee voted in favor of the motion. Councilwoman Bolkcom abstained from voting. Mayor Nee declared the motion carried and the public hearing opened at 9:11 p.m. Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that this assessment roll is for the Locke Lake Dam Reconstruction Project No. 211 for a total cost of 5662,927.81. $190,536 will be assessed against the affected residential property owners. For lots abutting the lake the assessment will be $3,056, and for buildable lots in the drainage area the assessment will be $389. The remaining amount is to be paid from a State grant of $150,000 and the City's Storm Water Fund in the amount of $322,391.81. Al1 properties assessed will be certified for ten years at an interest rate of 6-1/2 percent. Mr. Don Russell, 6631 East River Road, stated that he would receive a$389 assessment. He asked how many property owners would be assessed at $3,056. Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that there are 41 properties. Mr. Russell asked how many property owners will be assessed for the $389. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that it is a large number. Mr. Russell questioned who would pay this assessment on a neighboring property where the owner has sold and there is a new owner. Mr. Flora stated that this amount should have been in escrow and paid by the seller. Mr. Russell asked if there was public access to Locke Lake. Mr. Flora stated that there is access through Locke Lake park and Manomin Park. Mr. Guhanick, 55 66th Way N.E., asked if other residents were not paying to dredge someone else's property. Mr. Flora stated that this assessment is for the Locke Lake dam project, and there is an equal assessment for all properties abutting the lake. Mr. Guhanick questioned the assessment for those residing in the drainage area. He has not seen any concrete plans on the improvements to be made as far as canoe landings. There are rocks on the parcel next to the dam which makes access difficult. There FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 1996 PAGE 17 is no access by the railroad tracks and no way to launch a canoe or get to the lake. Mr. Guhanick stated that it seems the City is asking residents to pay for things for which there are vague references such as a wonderful canoe landing and parks, but he has not seen any plans. He asked how accessible the lake would be to those who do not live on the lake and how it would benefit other property owners. Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that the basis for the secondary assessment was drainage area rather than park benefit. Mr. Flora stated that this assessment project concerns the dam. Contributions from the sub-watershed is assisting to pay the cost for replacement of the Locke Lake Dam. Mr. Guhanick asked if there would be an additional assessment for future work done on Locke Lake. Mr. Burns stated there is no secondary assessment on the drainage project for the area, but there is for the abutting property owners. Mr. Flora stated there would be an ad valorem tax through the Rice Creek Watershed District for all those affected. This would amount to approximately $6.00 a year on a home valued at about $89,000. Mr. Guhanick asked how much more than the $389 will have to be paid. Mr. Flora stated that the $389 is strictly for the dam reconstruction, and that should be the only cost. Mr. Guhanick asked if there was a way to review the final plans for the entire Locke Lake area. Mr. Burns stated that Mr. Guhanick should come in to the Municipal Center to review the information on file; however, plans are still being formulated. Mr. Guhanick questioned the use of the drainage material being dredged from Locke Lake. He felt it would be good organic soil that could be used. Mr. Flora stated that the plan is for the contractor to do what he wishes with the soil, but permits are necessary from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency who has authority on lake dredging. The material being removed is mostly silty sand, not high quality soil. Mr. Glen Moren, 20 70th Way, stated that there is access off East River Road between the dam and the County lot. He asked if it FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 1996 PAGE 18 would be blacktopped so that vehicles may drive in this area or if he would have to portage a canoe across the street. Mr. Flora stated that the County has plans to install a fishing pier and a canoe landing in that area. Mr. Glaser, 16 Rice Creek Way N.E., stated that he is not necessarily opposed to the dam. The lake currently exists as it did many years ago before a dam was constructed. The residents on Locke Lake treated the lake like it was their own personal property and fought access. Mr. Glaser stated that about twenty years ago someone built a walkway down to the lake, but residents around the lake really do not want it. He felt that the property owners between the railroad tracks and University Avenue should also be assessed. Mr. Flora stated that those properties are in a different sub- watershed and are not included in this project. Mr. Glaser felt that the residents on the lake are getting by cheap. The accessibility is ridiculous, and he felt the assessment area should be expanded from the trestle to University Avenue, perhaps even farther back. Mr. Harry Bolkcom, 6821 Hickory Street, stated that he would agree with Mr. Glaser's comments regarding property owners to the east. However, it has already been decided that these properties would not be included in the assessment. The people who live in the area around Locke Lake will increase the value of their homes because of the lake. Also, because there is not a lake there now, his home is devalued from $7,000 to $10,000. He knows the property owner in back of him will increase his value at least $389. He is happy the project has gone this far, and he asked that the Council vote to approve the assessment. Mr. Guhanick, 55 66th Way N.E., stated that the area near the dam is not deep enough. He asked if it was going to be improved. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that there will be a sedimentation basin on the west side of the tracks which will be maintained by the Rice Creek Watershed District. The Department of Natural Resources and the Army Corps of Engineers would not allow expansion to the east side because they want this to remain a marshland. Mr. Guhanick asked if the area on the east side of the railroad bridge would benefit from the higher water level once the dam was operating. Mr. Flora stated that the elevation of the lake will be at 820 feet. Over time it will silt in and become shallower. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 1996 PAGE 19 Mr. Guhanick asked if there was a way to have a waterfall under the railroad trestle. Councilman Billings stated that this public hearing is on the assessment for the dam reconstruction. However, since Mr. Guhanick has questions on the drainage he could meet with Mr. Flora or his assistant to discuss the actual drainage of Locke Lake.

Staft felt that the pond was serving the purpose for which it was intended, but Mr. Flora agreed to monitor the storms that were occurring to determine if the flow of storm water through the ditch along Rice Creek Road was being impacted by the ditch as the Schwartzes were contending. There were field people out on numerous occasions. There was evidence the retention basin was working and did not overflow the banks but carried the water as it was intended. Mr. Mark Schwartz, 1372 64th Avenue, stated that he is appealing this assessmen�. He believed that he has not benefited from this project, but that it was actually detrimental. This has been a dry year so it is difficult to compare. The recent commercial development adjacent to his property changed the drainage ditch to some effect. He does not know how this will affect his property because there has not been any storms this year. Mr. Schwartz stated that he has video tapes showing the water on his property since this project was completed. He met with Mr. Flora, away from the site, and discussed the same issues discussed in mediation. Their land is now a possible wetland worth thousands of dollars less. All the problems have not been FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 1996 PAGE 22 corrected. The water causing flooding on Old Central Avenue has now been transferred to his yard. He would like this rectified. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to receive the letter from Mr. Schwartz. Seconded by Councilman Billings. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Jean Schwartz, 1372 6�th Avenue, stated that their meeting with Mr. Flora was in October, 1994, and mediation was in December, 1995. She has a copy of the mediation dispute settlement in which it states Mr. Burns would talk to engineering about possible changes to the detention pond and would contact them. Mrs. Schwartz stated that Mr. Burns called on February 6, 1996 after mediation. He advised them to wait because it was a dry year and stated that he would call them back in May. At that time they decided to wait again because it was still a dry year. The next thing they heard from the City was when they received the assessment notice in the mail. People were barred from mediation, and the mediation people told them they could not bring a lawyer. Councilman Schneider stated that this is a disagreement of fact. If there are problems the City wi�l work to correct them. At this time, everyone else paid their share for this project and felt the City went the extra mile to resolve this issue. Even if Council approves the assessment, the City will work out the problem if there is one. Mr. Schwartz stated that this puts them in the position to go to court, as they have no other option. Councilman Schneider stated that the project has been completed. It appears to solve the problem for which it was intended. The City Engineer, as well as an independent engineer, reviewed the issue. Both concurred it should not create a problem. It is the Schwartz's opinion that it does, but this is not fact. Mr. Schwartz stated that he would be suing for damages because the City destroyed their land. Mrs. Schwartz stated that they would not object to the assessment if it improved their situation. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upan a voice vote, all vating aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing closed at 10:05 p.m. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 1996 PAGE 23 OLD BUSINESS: 26.

Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that Council held a public hearing on September 30 regarding this vacation request for property at 106 Hartman Circle. The Planning Commission recommended approval of this vacation, and statf recammended approval of the second reading of the ordinance. MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to waive the reading and. adopt Ordinance No. 1078 on the second readinq and order publication. Seconded by Councilman Schneider.

Mayor Nee declared the motion carried by a four to one vote. NEW BUSINESS: 27, FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE REPEALING CHAPTER 12 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE IN ITS ENTIRETY AND ADOPTING A NEW CHAPTER 12, ENTITLED "TOBACCO PRODUCTS" AND AMENDING CHAPTER 11 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE, ENTITLED "GENERAL PROVISIONS AND FEES:" Mr. Gary Lenzmeier, Deputy Public Safety Director, stated that the Police Department is suggesting a new tobacco ordinance be adopted to replace the present ordinance. In 1994, because of complaints and concerns, the Police Department conducted tobacco compliance checks resulting in several arrests. When those cases went to court they became aware of some problems with the State Statute and the City ordinance. This is an effort to try to rectify those problems. Mr. Lenzmeier stated that the new ordinance expands on the old ordinance to help insure that juveniles are unable to obtain tobacco products from Fridley retailers. It controls access by vending machines; regulates self-service merchandising; and makes the licensee responsible for the conduct of its employees. The ordinance also increases fees for a tobacco license and establishes civil penalties. Mr. Lenzmeier outlined the amounts of civil penalties and stated that the fines were suggested by the retailers. Mayor Nee stated that he felt the Police Department did an excellent job of working with the retailers. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 1996 PAGE 24 Councilwoma� Jorgenson asked if revocation of a license was permanent. Mr. Lenzmeier stated that it was permanent, and the retailers did not express any concern on this issue. MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to receive a letter dated October 14, 1996 from Warren Roberts, 1448 Windemere Drive, requesting a stronger enforcement and harsher penalties to more effectively discourage tobacco sales to minors. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Lenzmeier stated that a letter was received from the Minnesota Non-Smokers Coalition regarding this proposed ordinance. They wanted the display of cigarettes completely off the counters; wanted to reduce the fine for clerks to $100 or less; and wanted specific amounts on the penalties. There was rationale for all three of these suqgestions, and the ordinance was re-worked to incorporate those changes. Mr. Lenzmeier stated that a copy of the proposed ordinance was sent to all retailers and discussed with them. With regard to raising the fines for the clerks, the retailers wanted the fine high enough to make sure it would have some impact when the clerks were told not to sell cigarettes to minors. They felt that the fine had to be higher than $100. Mr. Lenzmeier stated that with regard to specific fines, they do not want room to barter. As far as the tobacco displays, several contacts were made with the non-smokers group concerninq this issue. Mr. Lenzmeier stated that the purpose of the ordinance is to try to keep cigarettes out of the hands of minors. The non-smokers group felt there were two main reasons to keep cigarettes off the display counters. The first is to make sure shoplifting did not occur and, secondly, they felt it was more difficult for youth to obtain cigarettes if they had to ask for them. The Non-Smokers Coalition presented some information that these things were true. One study was from San Diego and another from the University of Minnesota. Mr. Lenzmeier stated that the retailers advised that they receive a lot of money from the tobacco companies for displays. In order to resolve this issue, it was decided to go back to the original language but to try to do a study to find out whether or not it would be easier for youth to buy cigarettes if there was a counter display. If the study proves this is true they would come back to Council for a change in the ordinance. Councilman Billings stated that he heard two things from Mr. Lenzmeier`s comments. One is that there were meetings held with retailers. He wanted to know if this was starting to become a common practice with the City since this was also done with the FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 1996 PAGE 25 pawn shop ordinance. He asked if the Police Department has found �hey have had success when they actually go out and work with businesses. Mr. Lenzmeier stated he feit that meeting with the businesses shows the Police Departmen� where there are concerns. No one attended the first meeting, but when the language was changed regarding cigarette displays, nine people attended the meeting. Councilman Billings stated it was mentioned that retailers want stiff penalties and fines but they also want to continue to receive money from the tobacco companies for displaying their products. He hoped the decision not to eliminate the displays has to do with the cooperation with the retailers rather than profit being the bottom line. Ms. Connie Bernardy, 6840 Siverts Lane, stated that she is a 28 year resident of Fridley and is actively involved in a qroup that is very concerned about alcohol, tobacco, and other related issues. She thanked the Mayor and City Council for their commitment to this policy that affects the health of young people. However, some critical work needs to be done. She appreciated staff following through and advising her of this meeting. Ms. Bernardy stated that there are three very important issues that need to be addressed to make this ordinance effective. Larger penalties do not assure compliance. She felt that the fines for clerks should be reduced, as well as the proposed penalty to businesses. The goal should also be to conduct regular compliance checks. She was sorry the proposal to require tobacco products to be behind the counter was eliminated. Councilwoman Bolkcom asked that a copy of the University of Minnesota study be sent to Council. Councilwoman Bolkcom felt that this ordinance sends a message that the City wants to be very strict on tobacco sales by having the larger fines. If retailers want their penalties twice as high as the clerks, it seems they are showing they are very opposed to selling cigarettes to minors. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked Mr. Sallman to furnish a list of businesses that have vending machines in the City. She has found only two with displays. One of the issues is that cigarette smoking is legal for aduZts, and this comes down to a moral issue. The City has to be careful they are not taking access away from people that have the legal right to use tobacco. She is satisfied with the ordinance presented by the Police Department. Ms. Bernardy stated that the proposed ordinance no longer allows campliance checks for the purposes of research, regu�ation, or training. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 1996 PAGE 26 Councilman Billings stated that it is not the intent of the City to restrict, for example, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension from coming in and conducting a compliance check. At the same time, if these types of monitoring are done in the City by many organizations, there should be some kind of control on how many research projects they may have going on in the City. Ms. Barbara Hughes, 598 Rice Creek Terrace, commended the City for this proposed ordinance. She has worked for 23 years for the American Lung Association dealing with people who have health problems related primarily to smoking. She would like a stronger ordinance. The best way to keep people from having to suffer from tobacco is to do one of two things; either to raise the price or eliminate access to cigarettes. The compliance checks would reduce the Levels of buying. Ms. Hughes stated that the fines should be reduced and a look taken at what would be reasonable. A$250 fine was too high for those who may be working at a minimum wage. The retailers wanted the fines this high because they felt they would not be enforced. They would use the other option and go to court and pay a$50 fine, as this is how they operate. The compliance issue should not be restricted only to the Police Department. These are a few of her concerns and she urged Council to consider some of the changes that she felt would be a stricter ordinance. She has access to a lot of research if Council would like this information. Councilwoman Bolkcom encouraged Ms. Hughes to furnish the Council with any information. The information was needed in order to be informed. Ms. Bernardy stated that Mr. Lenzmeier did a very good job in working with the industry. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that from the comments she felt there was an interest in restricting sales, not only for youth, but for adults as wel1. Ms. Hughes stated that it was not her intention to put cigarettes out of the reach of adults. However, if tobacco is behind the counter, merchants do not get slotting fees. It is not the City's business to help retailers promote cigarettes. Council should be concerned about youth having access. Having tobacco behind the counter is the best control. Mr. Sallman, Public Safety Director, stated that he does not disagree with Ms. Bernardy's or Ms. Hughes' comments. They are trying to determine the best way to alleviate access of tobacco for youth. He has some concern about the studies because they are incomplete. The approach is to hold the licensee responsible for the conduct of their employees. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 1996 PAGE 27 Mr. Sallman stated that they are not ignoring suggestions but will try doing their own study. If this ordinance does not work, they will recommend a stricter ordinance relative to the self-service issue. It comes down to the issue on whether or not the City would be better off having the support of the vendor because behind the counter sales would be taking away a source of their income. He knows they will not want to lose that and wiZl do everything to work with the City on this issue. Mr. Al Norris, Manager of the Super-America on East River Road, stated that he totally supports this proposed ordinance. He is not in the business of selling tobacco to minors. His employees go through an extensive training program for compliance. The reason for the fines being so high is that they want to make sure the clerks realize the seriousness of the problem. The retailer's fee has been increased because we accept responsibility for the clerks. Mr. Norris stated that as far as limiting the access to minors, the main focus is to stop the sales altogether. Teenagers are bold, and it does not bother them to ask for cigarettes. Even if they do not sell to minors, friends or parents come in and purchase the cigarettes for them. It is more than just easy access. The retailers do receive money for the displays, and it does affect their bottom line. He felt the ordinance should be passed. Councilwoman Bolkcom asked Mr. Norris why he did not have a lot of displays. Mr. Norris stated that he only has two small displays because he wishes to discourage shoplifting. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked Mr. Norris how he would feel if the fine for clerks was reduced, but left the fine as is for the retailers. Mr. Norris stated that he would agree with felt it would not make as much as an impact. retailer's fine as they are proposed. the fine although he He is in favor of the Mr. Mike Tarasar, Store Manager for Holiday Plus, stated that they have a smoke shop in their store, and no one under the age of eighteen can enter. He felt that the fine would be effective, and they would not have to go to court. A retailer does not want to sel� cigarettes to someone who is under eighteen-years-old. They receive a bottom line adjustment from the tobacco companies for the display. Ms. Joy McConville, 631 Helene Place, stated that she would like for tobacco to be behind the counter. She felt that this was not preventing aduZts from access. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 28, 1996 PAGE 28 Mr. Sallman stated that the bottom line of putting cigarettes behind the counter will restrict access to a point. He also recognizes that this is an expense for the retailers. He would recommend that Council consider this ordinance for a year. If it is not working changes can be made. Reviewing the studies might not particularly change his mind on the issue. The Police Department is totally committed to trying to eliminate youth access to tobacco. He does not disagree with the presentations made this evening, but what they are proposing might be more reasonable. Mayor Nee stated that he was pleased with the work Mr. Lenzmeier has done on this ordinance. It may be prudent to ask Ms. Hughes for her input. He is making this suggestion, as it might be appropriate to talk to some of the experts in the field, and not only those in the tobacco trade. Mr. Sallman stated that they are not intentionally excluding anyone. He pointed out that Mr. Lenzmeier is a member of an Anaka County group concerned with smoking issues. The Police Department does have access to the issues and arguments raised. Councilman Billings stated that law enforcement is to prevent crime from happening, and the other is to punish those that violate the rules. The intent is to deter persons from actually selling tobacco to minors. The fine has to be high enough so that it has an impact. Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that the administrative offenses provisions are quite innovative. It is a fairly recent development in Minnesota, and he is very intrigued to see this technique used. It affords cities greater control and enforcement. With the hearing process, there is authority to impose greater penalties. This is a remarkable imaginative use of this provision, and it speaks well of the Police Department. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to waive the reading and approve the ordinance on first reading. Seconded by Councilman Billings. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. 28.

Staff suggested the text amendment approach to update th City's Code to match the change in the senior housing industry. SUMMARY OF ISSUES: The proposed ordinance amendment would establish three new definitions and parking ratios for senior housing uses in the R-1, Sing(e Family, R-2, Two Family, R-3, Generai Multiple Family, and C-2, Genera7 Business zoning dist�icts. Each of these districts permit via a special use permit or by right nursing homes, convalescent homes, and homes for the elderly. Staff is recommending the following parking ratios: Nursinq Homes One space for every four beds and three spaces for every four employees on the largest shift. Independent Livinq Facilities One space per unit, with 50% of the stalls encfosed. If the building is convertible to market rate, then the number of stalls shall be based on the number of bedrooms. Assisted Livinq Facilities One-half space per unit. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request to the City Council. CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATtON: Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Planning Commission action. i 3.01 Staff Report ZTA #96-02, by Noah's Ark Page 2 PROJECT DETAILS Petition For: Location of Property: Legal Description of Property: Size: Topography: Existing Vegetation: Existing Zoning/Platting: Availability of Municipal Utilities: Vehicular Access: Pedes#rian Access: Engineering Issues: Site Planning Issues: A zoning text amendment to provide specific parking ratios for elderiy housing and care facilities. 83rd Avenue and West University Avenue Service Drive Lot 1, Block 1, Springbrook Apa�tments at Northtown 143,163 square feet; approximately 3.28 acres Mostly flat, evidence of fill, wetland along west edge of site Reed canary grass, aspen, willow trees, other wetland plants C-2, General Business; Springbrook Apartments at Northtown Available in 83rd Avenue 83rd Avenue, West University Avenue Service Drive N/A Stormwater, wetland replacement 13.02 Staff Report ZTA #96-02, by Noah's Ark Page 3 ADJACENT SITES WEST: SOUTH: EAST: NORTH: Comprehensive Planning Issues: Public Hearing Comments: Zoning: R-3, General Multiple Family Dwelling Land Use: Multi family residential Zoning: C-2, Generat Business Land Use: Office Zoning: Unknown Land Use: Spring Lake Park Zoning: C-2, General Business Land Use: Commercial retail The zoning and Comprehensive Plan are consistent in this location.

DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The petitioner, Noah's Ark of Minnesota, a non-profit organization, requests that a zoning text amendment be approved #o establish specific definitions and parking ratios for elderly/senior housing and care facilities. Noah's Ark is proposing to construct a 108 unit senior independent living building on the vacant parcel located in the northwest comer of the intersection of 83rd Avenue and the West University Avenue Service Drive. SITE DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY The subject parcel is located in the no�thwest comer of the intersection of 83rd Avenue and the West University Avenue Service Drive. Located north of the prope�ty is Wal- Mart; located west of the property is Springbrook Apartments. The subject parcel is zoned C 2, General Business. Homes for the elderly are a permitted use in the C-2 zoning district. The property is currently vacant. A car dealership was proposed for the site in 1988, but did not proceed. 13.03 Staff Report ZTA #96-02, by Noah's Ark Page 4 A Type 5 wetland exists along #he west property line. A po�tion of this wetiand wiN need to be filled in order to construc# the proposed building. The Planning Commission will also be reviewing a wetland replacement plan at its November 6, 1996 meeting in comp{iance with the 1991 Wetland Conservation Act and its 1995 amendments. The petitioner is also processing a variance request to reduce the �ear yard setback irom 25 feet to 15 feet ANAIYSIS The following zoning districts, either by right or by special use permit, permit nursing homes, convalescent homes, and homes for the efderly: R-1, Single Family; R-2, Two Family; R-3, General Multiple Family; and C-2, General Business. In none of these districts, nor anywhere in the Zoning Code, do any of these uses have specific parking ratios, with the exception of inedical uses which requires one space for every 150 square feet of area. Since the original preparation of the zoning code, the senior housing industry has diversified into different residentiat products to match the needs of seniors as they age. The proposed amendment identifies each type of housing and proposes a parking ratio. Staff is proposing the following parking ratios for each of the specific uses listed above: Senior Inde�endent Livinq Facilities Definition: A residential living facility for the elderly which provides limited services; i.e., beauty salon, limited dining, medical assistance, etc. One parking stall per u�it with 50°� of the proposed stalls being enclosed. This is similar to the hotel/motel parking ratio established in the Zoning Code. This has also been supported by the petitioner's experience. If the City determines the building is convertible to market rate, the� the number of stalls required sha11 be established at a rate of �.5 stalls per one bedroom with an additional .5 stall for every additional bedroom over one (this parking requirement is already established in the City's Zoning Code). Minnetonka afso requires this ratio with the p�ovision for conversion. Nursina Homes Definition: A state licensed facility used to provide care for the aged and infirm persons who require nursing care and related services. 13.04 Staff Report ZTA #96-02, by Noah's Ark Page 5 One parking stall per every four beds and three parking stalis for every four employees on the largest shift. In reviewing information submitted by Fridiey Convalescent Home for its recent expansion, this ratio is simitar to adjacent communities' requirements {see attached parking survey). Each community has a ratio which combines the number of beds with the number of employees. Assisted Livinq Facilities Definition: A residential living facility for elderly with more intensive assistance to residents. The petitioner submitted information regarding historicai parking use for assisted living facilities. The petitioner requests .5 stall per apartment unit based on the activities in a senior assisted living building. As seniors "age in place", their activities change and the need to drive and own their own vehicles is reduced. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the zoning text amendment to add the following parking ratios for, convalescent homes, homes for the elderly: Nursinq Homes One space for every four beds and three spaces for every four employees on the largest shift. Homes for the Elderly: Independent Living Facilities One space per unit, with 50% of the stalls enclosed. !f the building is convertible to market rate, then the number of stalls shall be based on the number of bedrooms. Assisted Livinq Facilities One-half space per unit. 13.05 Staff Report ZTA #96-02, by Noah's Ark Page 6 PLANNING COMM1SSlON ACTlON: The Pianning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request to the City Counci{.

If approved, a jewelry operation will be located in the petitioner's building located at 941 Hillwind Road. The intent of the CR-1 district is to permit office and health care uses. SUMMARY OF ISSUES: The proposed use is a mixture of retail and wholesale activities. Retail uses are not specifically permitted in the current CR-1 district language. Allowing jewelry services as a special use permit, rather than a permitted use is the most appropriate solution for a text amendment to the CR-1 District. This conclusion was based on a need to limit the retail floo� area within a CR-1 complex, minimize the "commercial destination" appearance in an otherwise office or residenfial district, and to assure adequate parking exists for the other uses in the CR-1 district. The text amendment was recommended by the Commission as a special use, rather than a permitted use. If approved as a special use by the City Council, the petitioners wili be �equired to obtain a special use permit prior to commencement of their operation. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Staff recommends approval of ZTA #96-03, to altow a jewelry operation in the CR-1, General Office District as a specia( use permit. Staff recommends the following 3 stipulations: 1. Retail jewelry sales shall be incidental to other permitted uses and shall not comprise more than 25 percent of the floor area of the principal uses space. 2. All signage shall be consistent with that allowed in the district. 3_ Entrance to the retaii sales area shalf be through the space of the principal use, not through a separate entrance. 14.01 Staff Report ZTA #96-03, by Roland Stinski Page 2 PROJECT DETAiLS Petition For: A Zoning Text amendment to a"Pro#essional .lewelry Store, specializing in laboratory certified loose diamonds, custom design and repair services, wholesaling, insurance replacement and appraisal."

If approved, a jewelry operation will occupy about 1,080 square feet in the petitione�'s building located at 949 Hillwind Road. A zoning text amendment to this district would allow this use in this building and on other properties zoned CR-1. In an effort to better understand the proposed use, staff asked the petifioners to provide inforrnation about similar facilities in the metro area. Mr. Mely and Mr. Sullivan indicated that Continental Gold and Diamonds, in the MEPC office complex (HWY 394 and 100, Golden Valley) is a good example. The petitioners indicated that Continental has a F�igher percentage of retail and floor area dedicated to retail than they would have in the Stinski Building. Staff visited the Continental Gold and Diamond facility. The facility is elegantly appointed with much glass, brass and cherry waodwork. The facility is structured to include a sales/showroom area and numerous, laboratory rooms, private consultation rooms, and general office area. S�aff estimates that the area comprised of retail is less than 50%. The petitioners indicate that as much as 80°� of their business in the Stinski bui(ding wili be service or whotesaie. Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Mely each have over 25 years in jewelry design, jewelry insurance, and gemotogy. Sullivan and Mely also indicated a desire to locate near the Fridley Executive Center. Like the Golden Valley MEPC facility, the petitioners see proximity to Class A office space as an essentia! eiement of their business plan. Zonin4 Historv Code Section 205.16.01, CR-9, General Office District, is a district classification that dates back to the mid 60's. The City's purpose in creating the district was to "provide regulations, controls, and standards for the orderly 3 � 4.03 Staff Report ZTA #96-03, by Roland Stinski Page 4 deve{opment and maintenance of the permitted uses therein. A CR-1 & CR-2 District is to provide a transition between commercial and manufacturing uses. Uses permitted are those which do not attract a large number of the genera! public, such as retail shopping a�eas, and which do not generate heavy vehicular traffic." The distinetion between the CR-1 and CR-2 district, is intensity of use. CR-1 was speci�cally general office and limited business. The CR-2 District allowed a service industry mix. The CR-2 District permitted uses such as light assembly, upholstery shops, business machine repair shops, appliance repair shops, printing shops, data processing and computer shops, research laboratories, and sales incidenta{ to other permitted uses providing that no more than 25% of the floor space available to any user be devoted to sales. In later versions of the zoning text, the CR-2, Office, Service and Limited District was eliminated. The existing language in the CR-1 District provides for "storage of inerchandise, solely intended to be retailed by the principal use," as an accessory use. A retail use, however, is not clearly identified under the °Permitted Use" portion of the text. Parkinq Analvsis Based on the parking requirements of the CR-1 District, staff has evaluated the parking situation in this particular office complex. With an office ratio of 1:250, 88 parking spaces were required. 89 spaces were provided. 23 of these spaces are inside the first floor parking garage, leaving 66 spaces as outdoor surface parking. According to Mr. Stinski, he has a contractual arrangement for shared parking on the R-3, General Multipie Residential property to the north, if additional parking is required. Staff discussed traffic/ parking demands with the petitioners. They believe realistically that their traffic/parking impacts will be less than the insurance office which previously occupied tt�e space. There is adequate parking on site, plus the additional parking to the nor#h to accommodate this use. Special Use Permit 14.04 S#aff Report ZTA #96-03, by Roland Stinski Page 5 There are two primary CR-1 Districts in the City of Fridley. The Hillwind property is one of 3 clustered lots on Hitiwind Road that carry this designation. The second area of the City that carries the CR-1 designation is a pair of tots, north of Ziebart Tidycar, on Otd Central (north of East Moore Lake Drive). Allowing jewelry services as a special use permit, rather than a permitted use is the most appropriate solutio� for a text amendment to the CR-1 District. CR-1 Districts serve as a transitional use to nearby residential properties. Professional office or medical buildings are low-impact neighbors as compared to retail uses. With proper stipulations, jewelry services will fit the low impact image of the CR-1 district. If a jewelry use were to locate in this building or another CR-1 District, a restriction of no more than 25°� retail floor area would be appropriate to assure an appropriate balance of retail and other CR-1 uses. This restriction will also assure that the retail business is secondary to a larger principle use. The typical aesthetic impacts of retail signage would increase the commercial retail appearance of the building. Therefore, exterior signage for the retail jewelry operation should be prohibited. Finally, requiring the entrance to the retail portion of the business through the space of the principal use will foster, not detract from the professional office image of the CR-1 District. A special use permit would allow the City the latitude to stipulate minimum standards and additional stipulations as necessary to assure compatibi(ity with surrounding areas. Standard stipulations shall inctude: 1. Retaii jewelry sales shall be incidental to other permitted uses and shall not comprise more than 25 percent of the fioor area of the principal uses space. 2. Ali signage shail be consistent with that allowed in the district. 3. Entrance to the retail sales area shall be through the space of the principal use, not through a separate entrance.

P,4UL, MN 55155-16tY2 'CEL�PHQNE: {612) 296-6l96 I understand that you are considering an ordinance to help end youth access to tobacco. I want to congratulate you for taking up this important subject and encourage you to act decisively on behalf of the children of your community. Tobacco products are the greatest preventable cause of death and disease in our society. Today, and every day, sixty more Minnesota children will begin smoking. Tragically, twenty of those youngsters will eventually aie as a result of their illegal habit. Minnesota laws already prohib�t th� saie af t�buccc pr:,cla�ts to min�rs. '�'hese statute�, however, are not enough. In cities without local ordinances, underage customers are still able to buy tobacco illegally thirty-five percent of the time. When a city adopts an effective ordinance and enforces it firmly, the violatic�n rate falls sharply. Before the city of Fergus Falls passed a strong local ordinance, children were successfully purchasing tobacco illegally fifty percent of the time. After the ordinance was passed, the rate dropped to three percent. When you take this up on Monday, I hope you will do everything you can to fashion a law that is strong and effective. For example, I hope you will think about the self-service tobacco displays in your local stores. Most of them are probably next to the cash register, or in the shelves along the checkout lanes. As I understand the proposal now before you, these displays would not be affected because they are within three feet of the salesclerk. Yet, evidence shows that placing tobacco out of children's reach is one of the most effeetive ways to curb illegal sales. Self-service tobacco is easy for children to purchase and to steal. Recent figures from Duluth show that children are approximately thirty percent less successful in buying cigarettes illegally if tobacco is placed behind the counter. A study at the University of Minnesota also found that more than twenty-five percent of children who smoke weekly have stalen cigarettes. This evidence suggests that one of the best ways to protect our children's health is to get tobacco behind the counter.

HUMPH Attorney General purchases or attempts to purchase tobacco or tobacco related devices while under the direct supervision of a responsible adult for training, education, research, or enforcement purposes. " During the meeting the Council requested two items concerning youth access to tobacco products. The first item was a study done at the University of Minnesota recently which Gary Lenzmeier referred to during his presentation. At that time he said he was only sent part of the study. That study was recently completed but has not yet gone to press. It is attached. The second item requested by the Council was a study mentioned by Connie Bennardi that links higher fines to less compliance checking on clerks. Connie Bennardi has not submitted the study ta the City at this point. Staff will continue to work with the anti-smoking groups in an effort to reduce youth access. The second reading of the ordinance is scheduled for the November 4th Council meeting. The staff recommends the ordinance passed with the change indicated above. 15.02 /// \O %��'.��\ c`i 3<�°��l•�� �Y`,� �� .C�,: � ��,<��� �r ..�� Fridiey Police Department Memorandum To: Bill Burns �1� From: Gary Lenzmeiec Daie: November 1, 19�9 Re: Second Reading of the Tobacco Ordinance On Monday evening October 25 the new tobacco ordinance went through the first reading. After Gary Lenzmeier presented the orc�inance, two residents of the .City of Fridley, Barb Hughes and Connie Bennazdi, urged the City Council to change the ordinance to remove tobacco dispiays from retailer's counters, lower the penalties for the clerks and allow other groups to do compliance checks. The staff position on these items is as follows: Tobacco Displays This was the biggest item of contention with the retailers. The retailers make a considerable amount of money from the tobacco companies to have the tobacco displays on their counters. Staff position is to a11ow them to have the displays and, if through compliance checks, the number of sales to minors is nat reduced significantly in a one year period, the ordinance will be brought back to the Council to remove the displays from the counters. Penalties The residents felt the penalties for the clerks selling the tobacco is too high. Their rational is if the penalty is too high, there is more chance for an appeal. In addition, the City would not in reality impose the high penalty if the clerk gave a hard luck story. T'here is also some concern that a clerk could not really afford such a relatively high fine. The staff indicated the retailers wanted a high fine for the clerks to help them insure that their clerks did not sell to minors. This too can be changed in the future if problems are encountered. Compliance Checks The present language in the ordinance indicates that only the police, retailers and groups approved by the police department can do compliance checks. The residents felt that would impede other groups doing research etc. from doing compliance checks in Fridley. State Statute 609.6Q5 subd. 3 covers this area making it legal for those under 18 years of age to assist with compliance checks. The staff feels this is not a major issue and suggests the State Statute language be adopted.

We srill do not have a complete picture of how tobacco is obtained by youth, and how access can be curtailed. Desi�n This paper describes tobacco availability to youth in a fourteen communities which are part of a randomized trial, known as TPOP (Tobacco Policy Options for Prevention). The data reported here were obtained from student surveys and tobacco purchase attempts by underage confederates. Results Siudents who have smoked at least once were likely to cite social sources for cigarettes. However more than half of weekly smokers and almost one-third of tenth grade ever-smokers reported purchasing cigarettes in the last 30 days. Tobacco purchase attempts by confederate buyers at all outlets resulted in an overall success rate of 40.8%a, lower than previously reported for urban communities. Fifty-five percent of the over-the-counter outlets had no self- service displays of tobacco at baseline. Store factors which predicted purchase success include tobacco location; purchase success was lower when all tobacco was locked or behind a service counter. The proportion of smokers who reported purchasing their own tobacco soon after starfing to smoke was 15.13 � highest in towns where purchase success by teenage study confederates was highest. Conclusions These results suggest that sources of cigarettes shift from social to commercial with age, and that sources of cigarettes for rural youth may be different than for urban youth. Key words: adolescents, tobacco, availability 15.14 e� Introduction Availability of tobacco to young people is believed to be an important facior in the onset of tobacco use, and has stimulated much attention in recent years. Evidence has accumulated suggesting that tobacco products are widely available to adolescents despite their illegal status for those under age 18 in every statel. Surveys uniformly find that teenagers report that they can easily obtain cigarettes2�. Research concerning tobacco availability has focused on commercial sources of tobacco to youth. An estimated 255 million packs of cigarettes were sold to minors in 19915. Between 20% and 70% of teenagers who smoke report purchasing their own tobacco, though the proportion varies by age, social class, amount smoked, and factors related to availability2,6,4,�,s,9 In addition, many studies have demonstrated that tobacco can be purchased by adolescents from a variety of retail outlets, with success rates averaging about 67%l0 Previous studies have identified factors associated with the ability of youth to purchase tobacco. Purchase success has been shown to vary by characteristics of the buyer (gender, age, and perceived age), characteristics of the seller (gender and age), type of business (grocery store, pharmacy, convenience store etc.), type of sale (over-the-counter, vending machine), y5.15 �� characteristics of the interaction (whether or not age identification was requested), and presence of signs regarding tobacco sales to minorsll-16. Despite all that has been learned in nearly a decade since attention was first focused on this problem, we still do not have a complete picture of how tobacco is obtained by youth, and how access can be curtailed. For example, the importance of shoplifting as a source of cigarettes to minors is largely unstudied, but the two published reports indicate that a significant proportion of tobacco users steal tobacco from businesses. About 5% of 1700 Georgia adolescents surveyed about shoplifting in general reported stealing tobacco in the previous yearl�, and 20 to 47% (depending on city and age) of adolescent current tobacco users in two Wisconsin communities admitted shoplifting tobacco at least once in the past year18. These results suggest that shoplifting as a source of tobacco for adolescents should be studied more systematically. We also know very little about the natural history of access to tobacco, and about how sources change as adolescents get older. For example, we might expect that social sources are especially important at younger ages, with commercial sources becoming more important among older adolescents. Finally, although policies such as those which prohibit self-service sales of tobacco or require locking devices on vending machines are becoming more popular especially at the local level, few data are available concerning the 15.16 � effectiveness of these policies in restricting minors' access to tobacco19 This paper describes tobacco availability to youth at baseline in a fourteen-community randomized trial, known as TPOP (Tobacco Policy Options for Prevention), currently underway in Minnesota. These data, based on a school-based survey of youth and tobacco purchase attempts in the same communities, provide detailed information about sources of tobacco to youth, adolescents' perceptions of tobacco availability, and their experiences in trying to obtain tobacco. We also examine the relationship bettiveen these variables, aggregated to the community level, and tobacco purchase success in those communities. Methods Desi n TPOP is a randomized community trial funded by the National Cancer Institute from 1992 to 1997. The goal of the trial is to assess the effects of an intervention designed to change local policies and practices related to youth access to tobacco. Outcomes of interest are perceived availability of tobacco by youth, ability of underage youth to purchase tobacco by direct test, and prevalence of tobacco use among youth. The research design for the stu�iy includes random assignment of 14 communities in Minnesota to experimental and control conditions. Communities in the experimental 15.17 � condition receive 32 months of intervention2�. Baseline data, which provide the basis for this report, are collected via surveys of all students in grades 8, 9, and 10 in the school district in each community, and direct tobacco purchase aftempts af all outlets in each of the fourteen cities. After the intervention, students in the same grades will be surveyed again and tobacco purchase attempts again carried out at all outlets. Communities Criteria for inclusion of cities in the siudy included >90 students enrolled in each of grades 8, 9 and 10 to meet statistical power requirements, no participation of the school or city in other university studies, and location outside the primary Minnesota ASSIST (American Stop Smoking Intervention Study)21 geographic targets. Eligible cities were listed in order of decreasing proportion of students who lived within the city boundaries. Starting at the top of the list, permission was requested from the school distrirts to survey students. Twenty-two schoo3 disiricis were contacfed in order to obtain permission from the 14 necessary for the study, for a participation rate of 64%. The 14 communities range in size from 3,200 to 13,100 popularion, all are at least 90 miles from the Twin Cities metropolitan area, and they had between 11 and 36 tobacco outlets. None of the cities had considered any local policies regarding youth access to tobacco in the previous �5.1s ,i E:3 five years, and all school districts within the cities had adopted tobacco free policies for studen#s, staff and visitors before the study began. Cities were stratified prior to randomization by baseline student smoking rate and by population. Student Survev The student survey was administered in spring 1993 to all students in grades 8 through 10 by University staff in the classroom. Students and parents were given the opportunity to choose not to participate, and the response rate was 91.2%. The survey included questions about demographics, tobacco use among friends and family, student's tobacco use, perceprions of availability, sources of tobacco, and perceived consequences of tobacco use. Expired air carbon monoxide was also measured to biochemi�ally validate smoking status��23. The final sample for the student survey consisted of 6,014 students nested in 14 school districts (cities). T'he average number of students per district is 150 in grade 8, 143 in grade 9 and 133 in grade 10, providing a sample more than adequate for meeting the design requirements. Tobacco Purchase Attempts A list of all commercial tobacco outlets (vending machine and over- 15.19 0 the-counter) was obtained from the city cierk in each city. Two tobacco purchase attempts were carried out at each outlet by different 15-year-old girls from out of town on two successive days in June, 1993. Because buyer effect is of concern in studies of this type13,16, efforts were made to standardize data collection and to minimize bias. T'he study employed only 15-year-old girls, and the girls, along with a parent or guardian, attended an extensive training session. AII purchasers performed several practice purchase attempts before data collection began. Finally, the fifteen purchasers employed in the study were randomly assigned to city. All purchasers were non-smokers at the time of the study, and all were from the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. Purchasers were instructed in a standard protocol for the attempts. They were to enter the store alone without a purse or billfold, request or select from self-service displays a standard brand of cigarettes, purchase a snack at the same time if appropriate, and answer truthfully if asked their age. If asked for age identification, they were to say that they didn't have it with them. If permitted, the tobacco purchase was completed. The purchasers were accompanied to the cities by an adult driver who was a sfudy employee. The rivo attempts ai each outlet were carried out on successive days. After each attempt the purchaser recorded details of the attempt, including outcome, age and gender of clerk, and number of customers in line behind the purchaser. Immediately following the second y 5.20 10 attempt, the adult driver, entered the store and recorded information about signs, placement of tobacco, and other in-store characteristics. In all, 585 purchases were attempted at 48 vending machines and 259 over-the-counter locations. In 22 locations the second purchase attempt could not be completed because the business was not open when the attempt was. made. Anal�sis Two sets of analyses were conducted. The first used descripdve statistics to characterize the sources of tobacco and perceived tobacco availability. The second set of analyses identified correlates of purchase success. For the descriptions of sources and perceived availability of tobacco from the student survey, respondents were categorized by smoking status via the construction of a smoking index24. Each student was assigned a smoking index value based on their answers to three sepazate questions on the student survey relating to smoking behavior. The questions asked abou# lifetime smoking and about smoking in the past 7 days and in the past 24 hours. The student's answers to these three questions were combined and averaged to give a single number�that indicated how many times a week the student smoked. Those students who consistently denied ever smoking were assigned a smoking index value of zero. Those who answered affirmatively 15.21 I1 about smoking to at least one question were assigned an index value above zero. An index value of 1 or higher was indicative of a weekly smoker, while values between 0 and 1 indicated some lifetime use, but not weekly tobacco use. Descriptive statistics are presented for ever smokers (index value grea#er than 0) and weekly smokers. The outcome of primary interest for the multivariate analyses was purchase success (yes/no) by the confederate buyer at the surveyed retail tobacco outlets. We examined the relationships between purchase success and various predictor variables. The surveyed tobacco outlets included both vending machines and over-the-counter sales. Parallel analyses were run for these fwo types of purchase attempts because certain variables were specific to over-the-counter or to vending machines, but did not apply to the other type of outlet. Predictor variables were grouped into three sets: outlet level variables, community level variables, and perceived availability variables. Outlet-level variables included location of tobacco (all locked/behind the counter, or some available for self-service), number of people in line behind the purchaser (none, 1 or more), whether the seller was in view of another employee at the time the attempt was made (yes/no), age of clerk (less than 21, 21-30, 31 and older} and gender of clerk. Other outlet-level variables included type of business (gas station or convenience store; bar, restaurant or private club; grocery, drug or discount store; hotel or motel; 15.22 12 other), presence of tobacco indus#ry sponsored youth tobacco access signs (yes/no), and presence of other non-industry sponsored youth tobacco access signs (yes/no). Community level variables included population of the community and number of retail tobacco outlets in the community. Each purchase attempt was assigned a value for these variables based on the community in which the outlet was located. For example, all outlets in the community of population size 3235 were assigned a population value of 3235. Reported availability variables included source of most recent cigarette and ever source of cigarettes (commercial, non-commercial), number of buy attempts and purchase refusals in the past 30 days, perceived difficulty of obtaining tobacco products from a salesperson/vending machine (1 to 7 scale where 1= not at all difficult, 7= very difficult), personal purchase of tobacco within a month of first using tobacco (yes/no), and ever being refused when trying to purchase tobacco (yes/no). Each purchase'attempt was assigned a single value for each of these 7 variables based on community averages of responses given by weekly smokers to the student survey. For example, if 45% of weekly smokers within a specific community answered that they obtained their first cigarette from a commercial source, all purchase attempts made within that community were assigned a value of 45% for this particular variable. 15.23 13 Responses from weekly smokers only were used for the multivariate analysis so as to more accurately quantify perceived availability of tobacco by minors. Non-smokers and those who smoked less often than weekly would be less likely to have tried to purchase tobacco and therefore would be less likely to be able to quantify the extent of tobacco availability in their community. To examine relationships between the covariates and purchase success, we used mixed-model regression techniques to reflect the three sources of random variation in the data: the communities, the buyers, and residual error. All covariates were treated as fixed effects. Starting with a base model of purchase success predicted by the outlet-level variables, we singly eliminated fixed effects until a parsimonious model was obtained. To this model, the community level covariates were first added as a group and then similarly singly removed in a backwards regression until a parsimonious model was found. Finally, the perceived availability terms were added as a group and singly removed to arrive at the final model. This final model includes all variables that significantly predicted purchase success. Results Student Sample Characteristics The final student sample of 6,014 for the student survey was almost 15.24 14 evenly split between males and females, among grades 8, 9 and 10, and almost entirely white, as shown in Table 1. About 70% of the students lived in the town where the school is located, with the remaining students residing in the surrounding rural area or in a nearby town. just over 50% of the students report ever smoking a cigarette, with 20% indicating smoking in the past 30 days, almost 17% reporting weekly smoking, and 11% reporting daily smoking. Smoking prevalence increased from grades 8 to 10, with the biggest jump between grades 8 and 9(Table 1). Almost 2&% of students said that they had tried smokeless tobacco at least once, representing over 50% of males in this sample. The combined prevalence of any use of tobacco was 55%, indicating considerable overlap in cigarette and smokeless tobacco use among boys. Insert Table 1 About Here Sources of Ci arg ettes Almost all students who reported smoking at least once indicated that they had obtained their first cigarette from family members or friends (Table 2). However, smokers were likely to buy cigarettes very soon after starting. Over 28% of all smokers, including 43% of weekly smokers, said they bought cigarettes within a month of starting to use tobacco. All smokers, especially 15.25 15 younger smokers, were very likely to say that even their most recent cigarette came from social sources. Still, over 30% of all tenth graders who smoke and almost 40% of the weekly smokers of all ages reported having obtained their last cigarette from a commercial source (Table 2). More than half of weekly smokers and almost one-third of tenth-grade ever-smokers said they had purchased cigarettes in the last 30 days, with a modal frequency of 1-5 times. Over 26% of all weekly smokers reported having stolen cigarettes from a business at least once. Eighth grade smokers were almost as likely as tenth grade smokers to report stealing cigarettes (15% vs. 18%) (Table 2), but the proportion of smokers who reported ever purchasing cigarettes over the counter increased dramatically from grade 8 to grade 10 (17% vs. 49%). Over 58% of the weekly smokers of all three grades had purchased cigarettes over the counter at least once. Vending machines as a source of cigarettes increased with grade, especially from grade 8 to 9, and were a more likely source for weekly smokers compared to all smokers in these grades. Gas stations and convenience stores were the businesses of choice for obtaining cigarettes, followed by grocery stores and restaurants. A significant proportion of respondents reported bars and liquor stores to be a source of cigarettes (over 9% of all smokers and 16.5% of weekly smokers), despite the fact that they have been labeled "adult locarions" by the tobacco industry. 15.26 16 Insert Table 2 About Here Since 1989 Minnesota state law has required that all vending machines be fitted with locking devices, except those located in businesses licensed to sell alcohol25. Students were asked to report the outcome of their last attempt to purchase tobacco from a locked vending machine. Among all 1927 students who have ever smoked in this sample, 327 (93.3%) had obtained cigarettes from a vending machine at least once. However, only 129 reported encountering a vending machine that was locked, and in 85% of those cases the employee unlocked the machine for them (Table 2). Tobacco Purchase Attempts The characteristics of the outlets where tobacco purchase was attempted by study confederates are described in Table 3. Over-the-counter outlets were predominately either gas stations/convenience stores or grocery/pharmacy/discount stores. Only a small fraction of these outlets displayed either tobacco industry signs or other signs concerning tobacco sales to minors (13% and 15% respecrively). A large proportion (55%) of the oudets displayed tobacco products only in locked cabinets or behind the sales counter. The sales staff encountered by the teenage buyers were predominately female (67%), and more than half were judged to be more than 30 years of age. 15.27 17 Insert Table 3 About Here Altogether 585 purchase attempts (for which we have complete data) were carried out at 307 outlets in the 14 communities in this study. Forty-eight outlets (96 purchase attempts} were vending machines and 259 oudets (489 purchase attempts) were over-the-counter businesses. Two communities had no vending machines. The overall purchase success, adjusted for buyer and community, was 40.8%, including 38.8% at over-the-counter businesses and 54.3% at vending machines. Of the 283 outlets visited twice, 56.5% sold tobacco at least once to the minors in this study. Purchase success varied from 12% to 74% among the fourteen cities, and from 8% to 82% among the 15-year-old buyers. One goal of this study was to examine correlates of purchase success among variables related to the tobacco outlet, the purchase transaction, the community, and the perception and experience of tobacco availability among teenagers who use tobacco in these towns. Our analysis strategy consisted of the sequential addition of grouped variables in a series of mixed-model linear regressions. Table 4 shows the final models� derived from the three sequential � modeling steps, and the mean purchase success for each of the variables in the final model, adjusted for other variables in the model. Tobacco outlet and 15.28 ,. � purchase transaction variables were associated with purchase success in over- the-counter busiriesses. Businesses with no self-service of tobacco (ie. all tobacco stored in locked cabinets or behind a service counter) were less likely to sell tobacco to our buyers. Younger clerks were more likely to sell to the 15- year old girls in this study, as were male clerks. Customers in line behind the buyer positively predicted purchase success also. However presence of tobacco-industry or other signs regarding tobacco sales to minors, and whether the clerk was in view of another employee were not associated with purchase success. Insert Table 4 About Here Of particular interest was the relationship between availability as perceived by the students and availability directly measured by purchase success. Mean purchase attempts in the past 30 days reported by weekly smokers was negatively associated with purchase success, and proportion of tobacco users buying their own tobacco within a month of starting to use was positively associated with purchase success. That is, higher purchase success was associated with a lower number of reported purchase aitempts in the last 30 days, and with smokers purchasing their own tobacco soon after first starting to smoke. None of the community-level variables (population, . 15,29 i�'� number of outlets) were associated with purchase success. To examine rnrrelates of vending machine success, the same modeling procedure was followed, except fewer business or transaction characteristics were included because they were not relevant to vending machines. Of the variables examined in the three sequential modeling steps, type of business where the machine was located and proportion of tobacco users buying their own tobacco within a month of starting to use were associated with purchase success. As Table 4 illustrates, purchase attempts at vending machines located in gas stations or convenience stores were always successful, though only four purchase attempts fell into that category. Tobacco was less available in machines Iocated in hotels, motels and other locations, compared to bars, restaurants, or private clubs. Many of the latter category of businesses are exempt from the locking device requirement of Minnesota state law because they have liquor licenses. Operational locking devices were found at only nine vending machine purchase attempts, and so locking device presence was not included in the modeling procedure for vending machines. Discussion These results indicate that commercial sources may not be as important for young adolescents in small towns as they are for the adolescent population as a whole. Just over 39% of these eighth, ninth and tenth graders who are regular smokers reported obtaining their last cigarette from 15.30 20 commercial sources, while over 52%'0 of 12-15 year olds reported "usuall�' buying their own cigarettes in the 1993 Teenage Attitudes and Practices Survey, which includes a national sample9. However, the questions asked were somewha# different, making the results from the two studies difficult to compare. As a result it is not known if this small #own sample has different tobacco acquisition patterns compared to the national sample, or if the lower reported reliance on commercial sources is due to the way the quesiion was asked. We believe that asking about first and last cigarette (as we did in this study) rather than usual practices (as in TAPS) makes the results easier to interpret because the question is more specific, and does not require respondents to average over a number of occasions. Despite the high reliance on social sources, businesses still figure significantiy as sources of tobacco for regular tobacco users in this study. Over 50% of weekly smokers tried to purchase tobacco at least once in the month prior to the survey, and most of them had obtained cigarettes from commercial sources at some point. Our results illustrate the transition in tobacco sources as adolescents get older. Relatively few eighth grade ever-smokers relied on over-the-counter purchase, while 28% of tenth graders reported their last cigarette was obtained in that manner, and almost half of the tenth grade ever-smokers have purchased cigarettes over the counter. Shoplifting and vending machines, 15.3 i 21 neither of which require interaction with a clerk, were more important for eighth graders than tenth graders. The types of businesses where teenagers tried to purchase did not differ substantially between eighth graders and tenth graders, with gas stations/convenience stores the main category for both. The apparently high reliance on social sources among this group masks the contribution of businesses to social avenues of acquisition. In a separate analysis of these data we found that sharing tobacco products among underage youth is very common, with 69% of monthly smokers indicating that they have provided cigarettes to underage peers at least once26. Adolescents whose most recent source of cigarettes was commercial were 73% more likely to provide tobacco to another adolescent compared to those reporting a noncommercial source26. Thus tobacco obtained from commercial sources by underage youth has an effect on teenage smoking greater than just the buyer, because it serves as a source for non-buyers as well. Minnesota state statutes have required, since 1990, a locking device on all tobacco vending machines, except those located in businesses with liquor licenses25. Only 11% of the weekly smokers in this survey reported encountering a locked machine, despite the fact that over 28% of them had purchased cigarettes from a vending machine at some point. Also, our buyers were successful at more than 50% of vending machine purchase attempts 15.32 � despite the state law, and encountered locking devices in place at only 9 of 96 vending machine purchase attempts. These findings confirm our previous report that locking device requirements frequently are not implemented, and when not implemented are ineffective in preventing youth tobacco purchase19 Stealing cigarettes from businesses is another commercial source of tobacco for youth. More than 26% of weekly smokers in this study reported having ever shoplifted cigarettes, and 2.5% obtained their most recent cigarette that way. The proportion of regular smokers in this sample who report stealing cigarettes is similar to that reported by DiFranza et a1.27 but is considerably less than reported by Cismoski et a1.18. Our results confirm previous findings that shoplifting is most important for younger teenagers18� 27. Among eighth grade ever smokers, 3.5% said their most recent cigarette was stolen from a business, compared to 1.2% of tenth graders. Prevention of shoplifting is one reason tobacco control advocates have proposed a ban on self-service displays of tobacco. Such regulations would require all tobacco to be sold from behind a counter or a locked display, accessible only by an employee. We found a surprisingly large proportion (55%) of over-the-counter tobacco vendors did not have any self-service displays even before any tobacco control efforts had occurred in their 15.33 � communities. This argues that policies prohibiting self-service displays are in fact not onerous and are possible for merchants to accommodate. Our data also show that self-service tobacco displays make tobacco sales to adolescents more likely; 45% of purchase attempts from self-service displays were successful compared to 33% of over-the-counter attempts where tobacco was not directly accessible to the buyer. Thus, not only may requiring tobacco sales to be employee-assisted discourage youth from stealing or attempting to buy, it also appears to reduce the likelihood that an employee will sell to minors. The requirement that the buyer ask for the tobacco product from an employee provides more oppor#unity for the employee to observe the customer, and increases the likelihood that the seiler will ask for age identification. Having only employee-assisted tobacco sales also might indicate a larger concern on the part of the owner or manager about the issue of youth access to tobacco, and thus may be associated with more stringent employer policies on this issue. Our tobacco purchase success by confederate buyers, at 38.8% for over- the-counter locations and 54.3% for vending machine locations, was lower than for many previously reported studies. This lower level of availability may be characteristic of smaller cities in rural areas, where few studies have been conducted #o date. In our towns, over two-thirds of the clerks were female, and the majority appeared to be over the age of 30, both characteristics 15.34 24 which predict lower purchase success. Our study provided the opportunity to examine mmmunity level effects on tobacco purchaseability, and to combine predictor variables in a multivariate analysis of cigarette purchase success by underage buyers. We were especially interested in the relationship befween adolescents' perceived availability, their experiences in attempting to purchase tobacco, and actual tobacco purchase success by confederate buyers. Our results show that in towns where purchase success was higher, adolescent smokers reported on average fewer purchase attempts in the last month (successful or not), and that they bought their first cigarette sooner after first starting to smoke, compared with towns where purchase success was lower. One interpretation is that in towns where it is more difficult to buy tobacco adolescents must make more attempts in order to be successful in obtaining cigarettes, and are likely to delay trying to purchase tobacco or rely on social sources of tobacco longer after starting to smoke. The lack of stronger association between purchase success and perceived availability may be because availability is ubiquitous. Alternatively the number of businesses that sell tobacco to minors may not measure true availability, since one business that sells tobacco to youth is enough to supply an entire town of this size. Our study is limited by the fact that tobacco use and acquisition behaviors relied on self-report. Associations rely on cross-sectional data and 15.35 2.� therefore cannot establish cause-effect relationships. Similarly conclusions about differences in behaviors across ages aze limited because these are based on cross-sectional and not cohort samples. �5.3s Acknowledgements This study was supported by grant number CA54893 from the National Institutes of Health to jL Forster. 15.37 26 z� References 1.

PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY THIS 28TH DAY OF OCTOBER, 1996 ATTEST: WILLIAM J. NEE - MAYOR WILLIAM C. CHAMPA - CITY CLERK 7 9.03 DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: Kim Miller requests that two variances be granted to allow an expansion and garage space addition at Miller Funeral Home at 6210 Highway 65. The variances requested are: 1. Principal Building - To reduce the front yard setback from 80 feet to 37 feet; 2. Garage Structure - To reduce the rear yard setback from 40 feet to 33 feet. If the variance requests are approved, the petitioner will complete the following improvements to the property: 1. Construct a 30.5 foot by 66 foot addition to the west side of the principal building. 2. Construct a 22.7 foot by 60 foot addition onto the garage located at the rear of the property. HARDSHIP STATEMENT: "Need arrangement and business offices, casket showroom and storage." SUMMARY OF ISSUES: Section 205.15.03.C.(2).(b) of the Fridley Zoning Code requires a side yard setback of 80 feet where a side yard abuts a street of a corner lot. Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a higher degree of traffic visibility and to reduce the "line of sight" encroachment into the neighboring front yard. Section 205.15.03.C.(3) requires a minimum rear yard setback of 40 feet. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide adequate open space around commercial structures for aesthetic and fire-fighting purposes. The petitioner's building proposal will provide additional storage and assembly areas for mourners and family members. The proposed building addition is 2,013 square feet and does not impact sight lines of adjacent properties. The garage addition will be used for vehicle and casket storage. The proposed garage expansion will eliminate > parking spaces on site. Two new spaces could be constructed adjacent to the garage addition for a net loss oti 3 spaces. The site meets the parking requirements of the code; however, there may be 2 or 3 reviewals conclucted at one time; therefore all on-site parking spaces are used on a regular basis. The petitioner does have an agreement with St. Philips Lutheran Church to the south for additional overflow parking. 20.01 Staff Report VAR #96-22, 6210 Highway 65 N.E. P_ age 2 The Engineering Department has two requests of the petitioner: 1. Granting of a 10 foot easement adjacent to the existing drainage easement to provide access to a sewa�e pumping station. 2.

To reduce the front yard setback from 80 feet to 37 feet; 2. To reduce the rear yard setback from 40 feet to 33 feet. If the variance request is approved, the petitioner will complete the following improvements to the property: 1. Construct a 30.5 foot by 66 foot addition to the west side of the building. 2. Construct a 22. 7 foot by 60 foot addition onto the garage located at the rear of the property. SITE DESCRIPTION/HISTORY The subject parcel is loca.ted in the northwest corner of the intersection of H'ighway 65 and t�Vest Moore Lake Drive. Located on the property is a 6,000 square foot (90 feet by 66 feet) mortuary and a 1,800 square foot garage. The following activities have occurred on the property: 1963- Variances were granted for building setbacks, parking stalls, and driveway locations for a funerat home. 1967- Issuance of a building permit for a funeral home I987- Variances were granted to reduce the side corner setback to altow construction of a building addition on the west end of the funeral home. 1993- A variance was granted to reduce the side ya.rd setback to 3 feet to allow a hearse enclosure. 1994- Construction of a canopy (as opposed to a hearse enclosure) in the side yard, sign variance, and construction of a 30 foot by 60 foot garage. 1996- Variance request for garage expansion ANALYSIS Section 205.15.03.C.(2).(b) of the Fridley Zoning Code requires a side yard setback of 80 feet where a side yard abuts a street of a corner lot. Public purpose served by this requirement is to maintain a higher degree of traffic visibility and to reduce the "line of sight" encroachment into the neighboring front yard. Section 205.15.03.C.(3) requires a minimum reaz yard setback of 40 feet. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide adequate open space azound commercial structures for aesthetic and fire-fighting purposes. 20.04 StaffReport VAR #96-22, 6210 H'ighway 65 N.E. Pa�e 5 Front Yard Variance The variance request to reduce the front yard setback from 80 feet to 37 feet would allow the construction of an addition to the west side of the building. This request does not have an adverse impact on adjacent properties as the proposed addition is in line with the existing building. The addition will eliminate the existing drive-through canopy located on the west side of the building. This request is consistent with similar requests previously ganted for the property, as well as adjacent properties in the vicinity. Staff recommends approval of the request to reduce the front yard setback. Rear Yard Setback The variance to reduce the rear yard setback would allow construction of a 22.7 foot by 60 foot addition to the existing brick garage. The previous garage expansion request was 30 feet by 80 feet and would have reduced the setback to 24 feet. There is a 40 to 55 foot wide planting boulevazd which separates the. subject parcel from the adjacent residential parcels to the west. The planting boulevard is not owned by either the petitioner nor the residential properties to the west. The properties do not directly abut each other; they are separated by the planting boulevard. There are a number of trees which are located in the planting boulevard, as well as a ditch which drains to the west basin of Moore Lake. The trees in the planting boulevard will not be impacted by the proposed addition. The proposed garage may pose a visual impact to the adjacent residential properties. Landscaping to the rear of the addition could reduce the impact. The proposed gazage addition reduces the required number of parking spaces on the property from 83 spaces to 78 spaces (80 spaces are required based on 1 space per 100 square feet of building area of 8,000 square feet). Two spaces can be created south of the proposed addition for a total net loss of 3 spaces (3 stalls provided). The site meets the code requirements for parking; however, due to the consolidated nature of the use, it is staffs observafion that the demand for parking exceeds the supply. It is essential that parking is maintained on site. The petitioner does has a cross parking agreement with the Lutheran Church to the south. The Engineering Department has two concerns regarding the subject parcel. located in a drainage easement located along the east property line. An additional the e�sting easement is needed for access purposes. A grading and drainage pl stormwater impact. STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO THE APPEALS CONIMISSION: A sewage pumping station is 10 foot easement adjacent to an is also required to review Staff recommended that the Appeals Commission recommend approval of the variance requests to the City Council. with the following stipulations: The petitioner shall dedicate a 10 foot drainage and utility easement parallel with and adjacent to the west line of the existing drainage and utility easement which is located adjacent to the east property line. 20.05 StaffReport VAR #96-22, 6210 H'ighway 65 N.E. �e 6 2.

(Miller Funeral Home). MOT{ON by Ms. Beautieu, seconded by Savage, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:34 P.M. Ms. McPherson stated the variance request is by Kim J. Miller of Miller Funeral Home for property located at the intersection of West Moore Lake Drive and Highway 65. The first 20.09 APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 23 1996 PAGE 2 part of the request is to reduce the front yard setback from 80 feet to 37 feet and to reduce the rear yard setbadc from 40 feet to 33 feet. Ms. McPherson stated the Commission reviewed a similar request earlier this year to reduce the front yard setbadc from 80 feet to 37 feet and to reduce the rear yard setback from 40 feet to 25 feet. The petitioner's original request was denied by the City Council. The petitioner has resubmitted a request with a different proposal. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner's original proposal was to fill in small alcove spaces on the funeral home and to construct a fairly substantial addition to the existing accessory structure in the rear yard. The City Council approved the setback variance to enclose the alcove spaces but denied the variance request to reduce the rear yard setback for the accessory structure addition. ln this request, the petitioner is proposing a 30 foot by 66 foot addition to the building which reduces the setback from 80 feet to 37 feet and is proposing an addition to the exisfing garage of 22 feet by 60 feet maintaining the setback line of 33 feet at its closest point for the new addition. Ms. McPherson stated that in reviewing the request, staff looked at parking. There are enough parlcing spaces on site to meet the code requirements; however, there is a lot of use at this facility and there are additional parking spaces at St. Phi{lips Lutheran Church across the street on West Moore Lake Drive to the south. The petitioner has a cross- parking agreement with the church to provide these additional spaces. Ms. McPherson stated the Engineering Department has requested an additional 10-foot easement along the west line of the existing easement in the no�theast comer of the property to provide more access to a sanitary sewer lift station. The Engineering Department has also requested a grading and drainage plan to ensure that there is no change in the stormwater runoff. It appears from a cursory view of those issues that the swap in hard surFace and green space should be about equal so there is little impact. Ms. McPherson stated staff has suggested minimizing the impact to adjacent residential property to the west by planting additional trees a(ong the rear of the proposed garage addition. The main objection to the petitioner's original request was the possible impact to the trees along the west property line. There is a 40-foot planting boulevard between the west property line of the subject parcel and the east property lines of the adjacent residential properties to the west. Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends approval of the variance request to the City Council with the following stipulations: 1. The petitioner shall dedicate a 10-foot drainage and utility easement parallel with and adjacent to the west line of the existing drainage and utility easement. 2. The petitioner shall submit a grading and drainage plan and calculations for stormwater runoff. 3. The petitioner shall plant seven (7) - 6-foot tall evergreens to the rear of the proposed garage addition. 20.10 APPEALS COMMISStON MEETING OCTOBER 23 1996 PAGE 3 4. Adequate ir�formational signage regarding ofF site overflow pa�{cing and pedestrian crossing be installed prior to commencement of construction. Ms. Savage asked if the objections that the City Council previously had would be an issue now. Ms. McPherson stated the City Council did not raise the objections. The objections came from the neighbors. With this request, staff has not heard any comments from the neighbors. She believed the petitioner has spoken to one of the specifically concemed property owners to the vvest. She believed that property owner's c�nc�ms may have been alleviated by this revised proposal. Mr. Lexvold stated he wrote a letter to each of the 25 people who signed the petition from the last request and offered to build a 10-foot wood privacy fence because it seemed their concem was the visua{ impact. Twelve people responded to that letter. Nine said they woutd still be opposed with the fence, and three said they would let the building go. He offered those respanses for the record. Ms. McPherson stated these responses related to the previous proposal and not the request now being considered. Mr. Lexvold stated the other issue is the stipulation regarding the planting of trees. Their only concem is that any trees put planted badc there would not do well. He had invited Ms. Betty Addison of Rice Creek Gardens to the meeting to go over some of these issues. Ms. Addison stated the neighbors would like to have evergreens in their backyards. They looked at the site. The ground drops away precipitousiy behind the building and this area is filled with a grove of cottonwood trees. The area is too shady. There is no way that trees wiil grow there. She had heard that the City wanted seven 6-foot trees. They talked to the neighbors to see if they would rather have two blue spn�ce or three arborvitae which are a smaller tree. She thought the blue spruce would go on either side or perhaps three smaller arborvitae. Ms. McPherson stated the stipulation indicates seven evergreens. Mr. Lexvold �tated one neighbor would prefer to have the trees in his yard because #hat would be better for him. He can discuss that option with the other neighbors as well. That may be a good avenue to follow. If these were put on the west border, it is likely that in two years the trees would be dead. Ms. Addison stated the cottonwood trees are close together. They take up the water and nutrients in the area. No other trees will grow there. Mr. Lexvo[d stated he had no ob}ection with the recommendation but was oifering a sofution that may be rnore practical. Mr. Kuechle asked what material would be used for the west side of the acxessory structure. 20.11 APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING. OCTOBER 23. 1996 PAGE 4 Mr. �exvold stated the building wauld be cement block. Ms. Addison stated the trees are ctose and big so it is almost impossible to see the badc of the building. Mr. Kuechle asked if the petitioner had an issue with the cost of the trees. Mr. Lexvold stated that is not an issue. Ms. Savage asked if staff had received any comments from the neighbors. Ms. McPherson stated she had not received calls from any of the neighbors directly abutting the common property line. She did receive a call from a neighbor down the street within the not�cation radius who expressed many objections but nothing spec�c to this request. MOTION by Ms. Beaulieu, seconded by Ms. Savage, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:50 P.M. Ms. Savage stated she had no objection but she did not know about the stipulation. Ms. Addison of Rice Creek Gardens is very knowledgeable. If trees cannot be p)anted there, she did not know how they could make the requirement. � Mr. Kuechle suggested the petitioner work with staff to investigate what can be done to alleviate that condition. He reatized that is opened ended but he thought the petitioner would be cooperative. Ms. Beaulieu stated she believed that with the previous variance request, the neighbots were concemed about the cutting of trees. That would not happen with this proposal. MOTION by Ms. Savage, seconded by Ms. Beaulieu, to recommend approval of Variance Request, #96-22, by Kim J. Miller, to reduce the front yard setbadc on a comer lot from 80 feet to 37 feet to allow a 30.5 foot by 66 foot addition to an existing funeral home; and to reduce the rear yard setback from 40 feet to 33 feet to a!!ow the construction of a 22.7 foot by 60 foot addition to a storage stru�ture on Lots 3 and 4, Block 1, Herwal 2nd Addition, generally located at 6210 Highway 65 N.E.

The petitioner shall dedicate a 10-foot drainage and utility easement parallel with and adjacent to the west line of the existing drainage and utitity easement. 2. The petitioner shall submit a grading and drainage plan and calculations for stormwater runoff. 3.

PUBUC HEAR{NG: CONSIDERATION OF VARIANCE RE UEST VAR #96-23 BY SCOTT AND CONNIE MASICA: Per Section 205.07.03.D.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to reduce the front ard setback from 35 fieet to 31 feet to allow a bay window addition to a dwelling o Lot 1, Block 3, Lyndale Builders 6th Addition, the same being 1070 Lynde Drive .. MOTION by Ms. Savage, seconded by Ms. Beaulieu, to waive the readin of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECH DECLARED THE MOTION CARRfED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:53 P. Ms. McPherson stated the request is for 1070 Lynde Driv which is located at the intersection of Lynde and Fillmore Streets. The request is to educe the front yard setback from 35 feet to 31 feet. The purpose of the request is to a1 construction of a 4foot deep floor-to-ceiling bay window. The public purpose serv y this section of the code is to reduce the building line-of-site encroachment into the ighbors front yard. Ms. McPherson stated located on the subject rcel is a single family dwelling and a detached garage. The petitioners are proposi to build the proposed bay window within the existing eave line of the dwelling unit. e floor-to-ceiling bay window does require footings. Because it is within the existing r f ovefiang, it does not impact the line-0f-site nor affect the visibility for traffic. This equest is within previously granted variances; therefore, staff has no recommendatio regarding this request. Mr. Kuechle asked about the rules egarding bay windows. Ms. McPherson stated that if ere are no footings, a bay window can be cantilevered into the easement. If the bay ndow requires footings, it then needs a variance. Typically, when a window is install above the brick line, they can be installed without a variance. When footings are nee and structural work done, a variance is required. Ms. Masica showe copies of the drawings of the proposed project. Mr. Kuechl sked if the bay window would be installed where the three windows are now located. Ms. asica stated, yes. They have three sections of a window that is 10 feet long. They w ed to replace the windows and then wanted to add and widen the room. It is on a rth wall so they wanted the foundation in order to insulate and keep the floor warmer. 20.13 � I TO: WILLIAM W. BURNS, CITYMANAGER ,� � � FROM.• RICHARD D. PRIBYL, FINANCE DIRECTOR StIBJECT.• APPROVAL OFA CONTRACT TO PROVIDE CONTINUING DISCLOSURE SERi�ICES FOR THE CITY OF FRIDLEY DATE: November 1,1996 Attached you will find an agreement with Springsted to provide the City of Fridley with Continuing Disclosure Services. This is a service that is based on a change in reporting requirements required by the Securities and Exchange Commission that impacts municipal debt offerings. In the past the Securities Act of 1933 and 1934 exempted most municipal securities from registration with and regulation by the Securities Exchange Commission (the SEC). Antifraud provisions of those Acts are not exempted however, and the SEC is using those provisions to ensure there is full and accurate information available to the holders of municipal bonds. The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the MSRB) was established in the 1970's and has set standards for "Official Statements" and other disclosure documents to assist issuers and underwriters in the preparation of adequate disclosure documents. Effective January 1, 1990, the SEC promulgated Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) which requires undeiwriters of municipal securities to make a professional review of the Oi�icial Statement prepazed for the offering before making a recommendation to an investor to purchase. The Rule thus requires issuers of debt to prepare Official Statements and make them available to underwriters prior to soliciting bids and to provide a reasonable number of final Official Statements to investors. In 1995, the Rule was amended to require issuers of municipal securities to continue to update the information in the final Official Statement throughout the life of the issue. The amended Rule makes it unlawful for an underwriter to participate in the primary offering of the municipal securities unless, prior to submitting a bid or entering in to a contract to purchase the securities, it has reasonably determined that the issuer or an obligated person has undertaken in writing, for the benefit of the holder, to provide continuing disclosure information to specific repositories. The Rule is issue specific, meaning that each offering is viewed as a separate obligation of the issuer. Since it is issue specific we would now have two issues that would fall under this amended ruling: $2,935,000 General Obligation Bonds, Series 1996A $4,090,000 General Obligation Temporary Tax Increment Bonds , Series 1995A 21.01 Approval of a contract to provide continuing disclosure services for the City of Fridley November 1, 1996 Page 2 Staff is recommending that Council make a motion to approve the Contract with Springsted to provide the Continuing Disclosure Services with Springsted to keep the Official Statements updated and placed in the appropriate information repositories. This service will cost the City $200 annually for each issue in a year in which an Oii'icial Statement has been created for a new debt issue. An additional $1,300 will be charged in a year in which no debt has been issued since an annual report will need to be created to comply with the reporting requirements.

The resolution is for the sale of $2,935,000 in General Obligation Bonds, Series 1996A As you recall, these bonds are to fund the assessable portion of the 1994 and 1995 Street Projects along with water, and storm water projects. As part of the process of issuing these bonds, the City of Fridley is required to undergo a fairly rigorous financial review process conducted by Moody's Investor Service who acts as aur bond rating agency. We were again given a Aal rating, which is the highest rating a City of our size is capable of attaining. It seemed very evident during this review that the overriding reason for the reaffirmation of the Aa 1 rating are the financial resources of the City, as compared to the outstanding debt. Since the bids are not due until Monday, November 4, the information from the bidders will not be available until the evening of the Council Meeting. A representative from Springstead will be present to review the results of the bidding process and make a recommendation for the lowest underwriter or syndica.te.

While in such book entry form, the Bonds are sometimes hereinafter referred to as being in "Book Entry Only Form." (ii) Upon initial issuance, ownership of the Bonds shall be registered in a bond register maintained by the Bond Registrar (hereinafter defined) in the name of CEDE & CO., as the nominee (it or any nominee of the existing or a successor Depository, the "Nominee"). (iii) With respect to the Bonds, neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall have any responsibility or obligation to any broker, dealer, bank, or any other financial institution for which the Depository holds Bonds as securities depository (the "Participant") or to the person for which a Participant holds an interest in the Bonds shown on the books and records of the Participant (the "Beneficial Owner"). Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, neither the City, nor the Bond Registrar, shall have any such responsibility or obligation with respect to (A) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, the Nominee or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, or (B) the delivery to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other person, other than the Depository, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (C) the payment to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other person, other than the Depository, of any amount with respect to the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, or (D) the 2?.03 consent given or other action taken by the Depository as the registered owner of any Bonds (the "Holder"). For purposes of securing the vote or consent of any Holder under this Resolution, the City may, however, rely upon an omnibus proxy under which the Depository assigns its consenting or voting rights to certain Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.

The City hereby further covenants and agrees that it will do and perform as soon as they may be done, all acts and things necessary for the final and valid levy of such special assessments, and in the event that any such assessment be at any time held invalid with respect to any lot, piece or parcel of land due to any error, defect, or irregularity in any action or proceedings taken or to be taken by the City or the Council or any of the City officers or employees, either in the making of the assessments or in the performance of any condition precedent thereto, the City and the Council will forthwith do all further acts and take all further proceedings as may be required by law to make the assessments a valid and binding lien upon such property. 335034.1 22.21 At the time all of the assessments are in fact levied the Council shall, based on the then-current estimated col- lections of the assessments, make any adjustments in any ad valorem taxes required to be levied in order to assure that the City continues to be in compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475,61, Subdivision l. 18.

If the balance in the Debt Service Account is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the Bonds and any other bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency shall be promptly paid out of any other funds of the City which are available for such purpose, and such other funds may be reimburs�d with or without interest from the Debt Service Account when a sufficient balance is available therein. 335039.1 22322 21.

Negative Covenant as to Use of Improvements. The City hereby covenants not to use the Improvements or to cause or permit the Improvements to be used, or to enter into any deferred payment arrangements for the cost of the Improvements, in such a manner as (or to take any action or permit any other circumstance to exist or any action to be taken, the effect to which would be) to cause the Bonds to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code. In particular, but without limitation, the City covenants to forebear the implementation, effectuation or enforcement of any and all contracts or other agreements respecting the Improvements or any property benefitted thereby or assessed with respect thereto, which it may now or in the future have with developers, contractors, owners or any other person or parties to the extent that such implementation, effectuation or enforcement would (individually or in the aggregate) cause the Bonds to become such "private activity bonds," and to said limited extent the City would and hereby does (solely for the benefit of the owners of the Bonds) disavow any and all such provisions, entitlements and enforcements which would or could become so offending. 23. Tax-Exempt Status of the Bonds; Rebate.

Designation of Qualified Tax-Exem t Obliqations.

Continuing Disclosure Undertaking. The Council hereby acknowledges that the Bonds are subject to continuing disclosure requirements under Rule 15c2-12(b?(5?
