FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 26, 1998 PAGE 7
LEGISLP.TIVE UPDATE•
SENATOR DON BETZOLD:
Senator Betzold stated that the legislature went into session last
Tuesday. With the projected budget surplus, a lot of bills were
introduced. The economy is better than anticipated; however, if
there is a recession between now and June, it could affect the
surplus. �
Senator Betzold stated that he introduced a bill concerning the
truth-in-taxation issue. He and Bill Hunt have worked on some
ideas and language. He is not sure it would work to require that
all cities must have their meetings on Monday.
Senator Betzold urged Council and citizens of Fridley to contact
him with any comments or concerns. With such a short session,
things are moving at a rapid pace. He stated that after the
session he would come back to give Council an update.
REPRESENTATIVE ALICE JOHNSON:
Representative Johnson stated she hoped that Council would attend
the Anoka County Mediation Services presentation of "A Magical
Mystery." It will be held February 5 with Councilman Billings as
part of the cast. It is a wonderful event in which local people
are participating to raise money for Mediation Services.
Representative Johnson stated that Fridley Middle School was part
of the opening ceremonies for this legislative session and sang
patriotic songs. Representative Willard Munger's great-
granddaughter was part of this group. They sang "Happy Birthday"
to him on his 87th birthday.
Representative Johnson asked that Council contact her with concerns
or opinions they may have on any issue.
REPRESENTATIVE SATVEER CHAUDHARY:
Representative Chaudhary stated that Representative Johnson has
authored a revision in the truth-in-taxation rules which would make
it easier for citizens to attend this hearing. He authored bills
to provide funds for restoring the Fridley Historical Museum on
Mississippi Street and replacing the boiler at Fridley Middle
School. A bill is in the Housing Committee that was actually an
idea brought to his attention by Barbara Dacy and deals with
housing reports. He felt it would be very useful. He was pleased
to work with City staff, as they are professional, courteous,
energetic and full of great ideas.
SENATOR STEVE NOVAK:
Senator Novak stated that this year's legislation session will be
dominated by the budget. He supposed a significant portion will be
returned to the property owners as a refund on the property taxes
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 26, 1998 PAGE 8
they have paid. A bonding bill will dominate the session and could
reach $1 billion; however, the Senate would probably approve
something lower. He expected debates on bonding versus cash. The
stadium debate is likely to continue. There will be a fairly
significant housing proposal, as well as a series of convention-
type proposals. There has been discussion on the expansion of the
sports facility in Blaine and for refurbishing a center in Mounds
View. �
Councilman Barnette asked about the property tax refunds 'and if
they favored commercial and industrial property over residen�ial.
Senator Novak stated that, basically, the property tax refunds
amount to a flat 20 percent based on the property tax paid.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the City had about a$2.5 million loss
in tax capacity with the restructuring.
Senator Novak felt that the property tax had to be used to pay for
local services.
OPEN FORUM, VISITORS:

PUBLIC HEARING:
from the audience under this item of
15. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 1998 CON�lUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
PROGRAM•
MOTION by Councilman Billings to waive the reading of the public
hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilman
Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson
declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing
opened at 8:02 p.m.
Mr. Fernelius, HRA Housing Coordinator, stated that the City is
scheduled to receive $143,952 in CDBG funds for 1998. These funds
are awarded to the County by HUD and must be used to benefit low
and moderate income persons, prevent slum and blight, or meet other
urgent community needs. The amount of $120,952 is proposed for
housing rehabilitation, and five service agencies are recommended
for funding. They are Anoka County Community Action Program Senior
Outreach, $8,500; Senior Home Companion, $4,000; Fridley Recreation
and Natural Resources, $4,000; Alexandra House, $3,000; and
Southern Anoka County Assistance, $2,500. The County receives
$1,000 for administration costs.
Mayor Jorgenson questioned the time frame for use of the funds, as
she understands that Commissioner McCarron will recommend that on
January 1, 1999 the County take over a greater share of the

funding of the CDBG process. The cities would then submit
proposals to the County HRA for approval. ,
Mr. Fernelius stated that he understands this was proposed in 1998
but did not materialize. It is his understanding that in 1999 the
process will chanqe, but the City has not been provided with any
details.
Mayor Jorgenson stated it is important that Council receive the
information if the process is changed during this funding year.
Mr. Fernelius stated that the funds for 1998 would not be affected;
however, it may change for 1999.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she would like further clarification
from the County before these applications are approved.
Councilman Barnette stated that several years ago there were many
groups seeking funding. He asked if any groups, other than these
five agencies recommended for funding, submitted applications.
Mr. Fernelius stated that the City did not solicit proposals, but
no applications were received from other agencies.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked if a letter was sent outlining the
process.
Mr. Fernelius stated that the County encouraged cities to fund
agencies in larger dollar amounts, as all their contracts are
consolidated to reduce administrative costs. Letters were sent to
those agencies that would be funded this year notifying them of
this public hearing.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that there is pressure on the cities not to
fund an agency below $2,500.
Ms. Linda Wells, Alexandra House, thanked Council for considerinq
their proposed allocation of $3,000 in funding. Alexandra House
provided assistance to 556 Fridley women and children in 1997. Of
these, 400 were new contacts, and they have attended 401 criminal
court hearings. In Anoka County, there are over 900 domestic
assault arrests. Ms. Wells submitted a list of the services
Alexandra House provides in their residential and community
programs.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she appreciated the updates from
Alexandra House sent through the Police Department.
Ms. Wells stated that the City should be very proud of their Police
Department.
MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to receive the Alexandra House
Program Services information for residential and community
programs. Seconded by Councilman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all

Ms. Connie Thompson, Fridley Senior Program, thanked Council for
their support. She introduced Nancy Shaw, the new Senior Office
Assistant, in charge of the Senior Home companion program. Na�cy
has been very active in School District No. 14 activities and has a
special interest in bringing youth into the Handiworks program.
Ms. Colleen Coyle, Anoka County Senior Outreach Worker, thanked
Council for their past support. She said that it has been
enjoyable to serve the seniors. This program had 162 clients last
year, with 360 referrals to 58 different programs.
Mr. Steve Mihalchick, Southern Anoka County�Assistance, thanked
Council for their past support. Their organization serves Fridley,
Columbia Heights, Spring Lake Park, and Hilltop. Their main
purpose is to distribute food to people in need and 4, 400 Fridley
residents were served last year. He submitted a breakdown of the

NEW BUSINESS:
16. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CITY CODE OF THE
CITY OF FRIDLEY, CHAPTER 205.29, "O-5, TELECONIl�CTNICATIONS
TOWERS AND FACILITIES DISTRICT;" TO AMEND APPENDIX A:
Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that this is a zoninq text
amendment to the City's telecommunications ordinance. The
amendment includes the addition of seven sites to the existing
seven approved sites for towers and facilities.
Mr. Hickok stated that the Parks and Recreation Commission and the
Planning Commission recommended an alternative for the Springbrook
Nature Center site. Northern States Power has power line
structures adjacent to Springbrook Nature Center along the
Burlington Northern rail line. Representatives of Northern States
Power indicated that they would not be adverse to allowing
telecommunications equipment to be installed on their lattice-style
pole line structures or the single pole structures which are near
Springbrook Nature Center.
Mr. Hickok stated that Mr. Jeff Van Keuren of United Defense has
confirmed that the U.S. Navy has given a verbal approval to allow
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 26, 1998 PAGE 11
its water tower to be utilized as a telecommunications equipment
and facilities location.
Mr. Hickok stated that Richard Carlson of Park Construction was
also contacted to discuss the possibility of identifying Park
Construction as an alternative to the Springbrook Nature Center'or
Agro-K sites. At this time, staff is awaiting a response from
Mr. Carlson. There may be the possibility of including this site
rather than the Agro-K site which was a concern of Ms. Rajmananan.
Mr. Hickok stated that Mr. Skarie indicated that he is opposed to
the site on the City right-of-way south of I-694. Mr. Skarie and
his wife own the apartment complex south of this site and are
concerned with the location of a tower on this property.
Mr. Hickok stated that staff is recommending the first reading of
this ordinance. The ordinance has been drafted to specifically
require location of antennas on existing Northern States Power
poles adjacent to Springbrook Nature Center. It also includes the
Agro-K site and the City owned right-of-way south of I-694 which is
adjacent to the Skarie apartment complex. Other sites included are
Cummins Power Generation, All Temp Storage, United Defense, and
Parson's Electric.
Mayor Jorqenson stated that she discussed this issue with
Mr. Skarie. His concern is a 125 foot tower out the front door of
his apartment complex. She questioned if the power lines could be
used for these antennas.
Mr. Hickok stated that it may be possible to use the power lines as
an alternative. The technical experts have concluded that the area
for most demand is along I-694. This site was selected after
careful consideration.
Mayor Jorgenson asked about the property adjacent to Seventh Street
where there is currently a Naegele sign.
Mr. Hickok stated that this property is zoned C-2 and is privately
owned. He pointed out that there is not a lot of land between the
billboard and Seventh Street.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked why a site would be included if the
property owners did not want it.
Mr. Hickok stated that identifying a site as an "approved" site
does not automatically mean that a tower would be installed. The
property owner would have the option to have this equipment on
their property.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the FCC actually pre-empts the City
from doing certain things and asked the City Attorney to review the
guidelines.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that Council reviews criteria, the
same as any other zoning case. The one thing the City cannot do is
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 26, 1998 PAGE 12
draft an ordinance to effectively prevent the location of these
facilities in the City.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if Council could take the approach that they
do not want the towers as they may collapse and cause injuries.
Mr. Knaak stated that if this could be proven it would be a valid
concern. Health and safety concerns related to the actual band
width and the impact of radio waves on humans is pre-empted by
Federal law and cannot be used as a basis for Council's de�isions.
Issues related to structure are valid for Council to examine. The
structures tend to be standard and are usually over-built rather
than under built to prevent any liability.
Mr. Jim Skarie stated that his apartment complex is well-managed,
and it has curb appeal. He felt that a 125 foot tower at the front
door would destroy the apartment complex's appeal.
Mr. Bryan Kowalski, 5451 Fifth Street, apartment manager for this
complex, stated that he has been the caretaker at this apartment
complex for the last five years. They have kept up the grounds,
and the aesthetics are very important in order to draw tenants.
This section along I-694 does not have sound barriers, and the
tower would compound the problems. It would be appreciated if this
site could be removed from consideration. He submitted a petition
from the tenants who were opposed to having a tower located on this
site.
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to receive Petition No. 1-1998
opposing the telecommunications tower on City-owned right-of-way
south of I-694 adjacent to Lot 3, Block 10. Seconded by
Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Barnette stated that a previous site approved by Council
was in Locke Park. He lives four houses from the site, and his
entire neighborhood circulated a petition. It seems that everyone
wants service for cellular phones but not in their back yards. The
City is mandated by the Federal government to provide the service
for the telecommunications system.
Ms. Skarie suggested designating the billboard site in lieu of this
site. The zoning is R-3 for their apartment complex, and the
billboard site is zoned commercial. They are struggling now to
keep this apartment complex nice because of the surrounding
properties and does not want to become a slum landlord.
Mayor Jorgenson pointed out that Councilman Billings also has an
"approved" site designated in his neighborhood which is a single
family area. Unfortunately, Council cannot disallow these sites to
be located in the City.
Mr. Skarie felt that the billboard site is a better proposal. She
hoped that the City was not considering this site because it is
City property.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 26, 1998 PAGE 13
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that the City worked with a consultant
and vendors to find sites that are reasonable.
Mr. Kowalski suggested property on Fourth Street west of University
Avenue and from 53rd Avenue to I-694 which is State land.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that this land is probably for purposes of
widening the freeway and ramps in the future.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if the site of the Naegele si,gn was
designated as an "approved" site, and if it could be argued that
the City was, in effect, taking property.
Mr. Knaak stated that by simply designating a use the City is not
necessarily devaluing the property. The- question in this case,
because it is a billboard, is if the use must be visible. If
something is constructed on neighboring property, which would
prohibit the visibility, the City may be in a situation of an
inverse condemnation.
Ms. Skarie stated that it looks like the billboard site would not
be impacted and the billboard would screen the tower from the
building to the south.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the site adjacent to the Skarie
apartment complex is owned by the City. Council would have to
decide whether they wanted to enter into an agreement to have a
tower constructed on the site. She questioned if the City had the
same rights as a private property owner.
Mr. Knaak stated that the City would have the same rights as a
private property owner.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that the City would want to work with
the property owners to preserve sight lines and views if they were
to consider this site for a tower.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to waive the reading and approve the
ordinance on first reading. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the
motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that staff will be bringing back additional
information before the second reading of this ordinance such as a
reply from Park Construction, a determination whether property is
public or privately owned near Springbrook Nature Center, and to
possibly explore the billboard site.
16A. REVIEW OF 1997 RESIDENTIAL SURVEY BY Nfft. BILL MORRIS of
DECISION RESOURCES LTD:
Mr. Morris stated that 500 households in the community were
contacted during the month of December, 1997. The average time to
complete the survey was 31 minutes; however, one resident took one
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 26, 1998 PAGE 14
hour and 56 minutes. He reviewed the following components of the
survey.
IMAGE OF THE CITY: The majority or 57 percent indicated there was
no need for improvement.
WHAT THINGS RESIDENTS WANTED DONE: The one item which received the
greatest support was for mowing and beautification.
NEIGHBORHOOD CRIME RATES: The residents' perception of an increase
in crime has been decreasing.
EMPOWERMENT: The City is responding promptly and the positive
areas have expanded since 1993.
WHETHER PEOPLE COULD HAVE A SAY ON HOW THINGS RUN IN THE COMMUNITY:
There was a negative reply which was mostly from older residents.
HOW PEOPLE F'ELT ABOUT CITY STAFF: The percentage of residents
contacting the Municipal Center last year was 45. (The norm in
most cities is 28 percent). The overall percentages for courtesy
were 93; listening, 91; handling requests promptly, 84;
effectiveness of response, 80. These results place the Municipal
Center operation into the top 10 percent of suburban communities.
EXPANDED MUNICIPAL CENTER HOURS: Only 25 percent were aware of the
expanded hours. Ten percent of the respondents are visiting the
Municipal Center during the expanded evening hours.
SPENDING TAX MONEY: This area has gone down slightly and more are
undecided which indicates this is a communication issue.
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS: The greatest percentage favored
redevelopment for blighted commercial/industrial areas. There was
also some concern regarding junkyards.
NATURE CENTER INTO A GOLF COURSE: Those that favored a nature
center over a golf course amounted to 83 percent; 13 percent
favored a golf course over a nature center (these were mostly
residents over 55 and male); and 4 percent were undecided.
NEIGHBORHOOD RESOURCE OFFICERS: About one-third of those surveyed
were aware of the neighborhood resource officers and about half of
these have met their officers.
COMMEMORATIVE MEMORIAL: There were 57 percent against a
commemorative memorial; 22 percent in favor; and 21 percent unsure.
CORE VALUES PROGRAM: In 1995, 25 percent were aware of this
program. In 1997, 37 percent were aware of the program.
CABLE T.V.: Of those surveyed, 50 percent subscribe to cable
television. Those who indicated that they did not watch Council
meetings was 42 percent. (In other communities it is between 60 to
80 percent). Those that watched at least every other month
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 26, 1998 PAGE 15
amounted to 30 percent. Cable television is being watched more in
Fridley than in other communities.
COMPUTER PROCESS: Of those surveyed, 33 percent had personal
computers with modems. Thirty-seven percent indicated they would
be very likely to view a Fridley home paqe. Of those with a modem,
80 percent were very likely to access a home page.
RECREATION DEPARTMENT SERVICES:
gaining more positive evaluations
percent in 1997.
The Nature Center programs are
up from 62 percent in 1993 to 77
RECREATION PROGRAMS AVAILABLE THAT APPEAL TO ALL AGE GROUPS: In
1995, 80 percent indicated a positive vote. This is down to 60
percent for 1997. It appears the group that�feels more strongly
are those that have older children. ,
OVERA.LL SATISFACTION: Overall satisfaction was 90 percent in 1995,
down to 65 percent in 1997. The dissatisfaction is coming from
households with older children.
RECREATION PROGRAM USAGE: In 1997, there was a 17 percent increase
in the use of Springbrook Nature Center programs. There was a high
household usage for sports leagues, senior center, summer
playground, and after-school programs.
GYNII�ASIUM SPACE: Those favoring gymnasium space amounted to 37
percent; 33 percent against; and 33 percent unsure. Those that did
not want a tax increase to support additional space amounted to 32
percent. A typical resident was willing to spend $1.00 per year
for gymnasium expansion.
CONSOLIDATION OF PUBLIC SERVICES WITH OTHER CITIES: Those opposed
amounted to 30 percent; 20 percent in favor; 27 percent strongly
opposed; 6 percent strongly in favor; and 17 percent unsure.
CONSOLIDATION OF THE CITY WITH SPRING LAKE PARK AND COLUMBIA
HEIGHTS: Twenty-nine percent were opposed; 19 percent in favor; 30
percent strongly opposed; 5 percent strongly in favor; and 17
percent unsure. This points out that Fridley is special and does
not want to lose its own identity.
Councilman Barnette stated that when there was talk about combining
the school districts, it was found that communities did not want to
lose their identity. It does not surprise him that people are
opposed to consolidation.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked what the rule-of-thumb was regardinq
percentages and when Council should be giving serious consideration
to an issue.
Mr. Morris stated that the farther above 20 percent the more weight
he tends to place on that issue.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 26, 1998 PAGE 16
Mayor Jorgenson stated that Fridley is changing demographically.
She asked if this survey can be compared with others.
Mr. Morris stated that this would be included in the report which
will be submitted to Council.
Councilman Barnette asked how the average cost of a home in Fridley
compares with other neighboring suburbs.
Mr. Morris stated that this is public information. They can
compare cities where they have more recent data and assemble
comparative norms.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she would be intexested where Fridley
residents work. This would provide Council with direction on the
emphasis for commuting areas.
17. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS:
Mr. Burns, City Manaqer, stated that in the conference session the
City Attorney would like to discuss the Cherrywood Apartment
litigation. Barbara Dacy and Scott Hickok would also like to
discuss the 57th Avenue preliminary desiqn work.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that on Thursday, January 29, the cities of
Fridley, Columbia Heights, and Hilltop, as well as the Columbia
Heights School Board, will be meeting at the Fridley Community
Center. State representatives, as well as the school boards for
School District Nos. 14 and 16 have also been invited. This
meeting will be devoted to a discussion of child care needs in
southern Anoka County. Other topics that may be discussed are the
proposed Highway 65 speed limit changes, Values First banners, and
an update on the Minnesota Design Team visit to Columbia Heights
and Hilltop.�
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that there would be a meeting with the
Hyde Park neighborhood on February 3 to discuss the 57th Avenue
proj ect .
Mayor Jorgenson reminded everyone of the Mediation Services fund
raising event on February 5 in which Councilman Billings will
participate. The Anoka County Mediation Services office can be
contacted for further information.
Councilman Barnette asked about the status of the post office. He
felt that the average person who received the postcard in the mail
soliciting comments did not know how to respond. He thought it was
important for residents to make their comments known, as he felt
they would want to keep a post office in Fridley.
Councilman Barnette stated that he would also like to discuss
gambling license renewals.

SUBJECT: Resolution Adopting 1998 CDBG Program
On January 26, 1998 the City Council conducted a public hearing to review the
activities to be funded under the 1998 CDBG program. Attached is a copy of the
resolution authorizing the activities to be funded.
At the public hearing on January 26`h, Mayor Jorgenson requested clarification on
the impact of proposed changes to County's method of allocating CDBG funds,
reportedly to take place next year. According to Alyce Osborn, Community
Development Manager, the proposed changes will likely become effective for the
1999 CDBG program which runs from July 1, 1999 through December 31; 2000.
Ms. Osborn doesn't believe that the changes would affect the 1998 CDGB program
because the cities will have already received or committed their funds.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the
1998 CDBG program.

SUBJECT: Approval of a Revised Resolution, Vacation, SAV #97-02, by
Bachman's Inc.; 8200 University Ave. NE
Legal counsel representing Hartco, LLC (Bachman's) has asked that the City re-approve
the recently approved vacation resolution without Stipulation #2. He states that the
stipulation is ambiguous, "especially given the fact that the east line of that lot is a curve."
Stipulation #2 stated that "Only the easterly 550 feet of the easement be vacated".
Staff has reviewed his request and has concluded that in view of the fact that Hortco,
LLC, has prepared the appropriate documents necessary to proceed with dedication of
the replacement easement requested by the City, Stipulation #2 can be removed without
negative impact to the City.
The petitioner has also recorded the easement in compliance with Stipulation #1.

Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution repealing the previous resolution
and approving the vacation without stipulations.

CITY OF FRIDLEY PROJECT SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST:
Mark Anderson, has requested 2 variances. Currently, Mr. Anderson's building exists 5' from
the north property line. A 15' setback is required. Consequently, Mr. Anderson is requesting a
10' variance to allow for expansion of his building. A seeond variance has been requested to
allow a 17' parking setback, rather than the Code required 20' parking setback, along 73rd
Avenue NE. �
SUMMARY OF ISSUES
� The existing Building on the site is a 2680 s.f. brick building with a metal mansard roof feature.
The reconstruction of this building would include the removal of the aqua-colored mansard,
the addition of a 1330s.f. office showroom space on the east end of the existing building. In
order to accomplish this addition, the petitioner would build out toward University Avenue 10'.
The front setback for this site is 35'. The 10' addition will not encroach in the front yard
setback area.
APPROVAL OF SIMILAR REQUESTS
'A�recent approval of a similar building setback variance request was a 15' to 5' reduction of
� the side yard setback, for the A&W, at 7429 East River Road. A recent approval of a parking
setback variance request was the granting of a variance to 3' for a new building to be
constructed at the corner of Main Street and 57th Avenue.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE APPEALS COMMISSION:
The Appeals Commission unanimously recommended approval of both variances.
CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Appeals Commission.

the building is being expanded and the parking is being
reconstructed, the overall hard-surface area is being reduced by the
removal of asphalt near University Avenue.
The Zoning and Comprehensive Plans are consistent in this
location.

REQUEST:
Mark Anderson, has requested 2 variances. Currently, Mr. Anderson's building exists 5' from
the north property line. A 15' setback is required. Consequently, Mr. Anderson is requesting a
10' variance to allow for expansion of his building. A second variance has been requested to
allow a 17' parking setback, rather than the Code required 20' parking setback, along 73`�
Avenue NE.
Mark Anderson owns Anderson's New Carpet Design, at 7225 University Avenue Northeast.
Mr. Anderson will be moving his operations to his new showroom, once the reconstruction has
been completed on the former Hanna Magic building (7300 University Ave.).
SITE DESCRIPTION/HISTORY:
The building that currently exists on this site was constructed in 1970 and was once known as
the Hanna Magic Car Wash. A variance was granted to allow the original construction of the
building on this property. In recent years the building has been vacant. In 1996, Anoka
County ordered the removal of the fuel tanks below the parking lot. When the Car Wash
owners operated this facility they offered gasoline as one of their services available to their
customers. Before a new owner could take over the site, those tanks had to be removed.
ANALYSIS
Section 205.14.03.C.(2), requires that two side yards are required , each with a width of not
less than 15' except:
(b) Where a side yard abuts a street of a corner lot, the side yard requirement increases to
a minimum of 35'.
(c) ....
Public purpose served by this requirement is to assure visibility at street intersections by
allowing adequate setback of structures. This Code Section a/so assures that the site lines
and aesthetic environment of a business district is not hampered by structures that have been
placed too c/ose to the streef.
4.03
VAR #98-02, 7300 University Avenue
Page4
Section 205.14.05.D.(5)(a), requires that all parking and hard surface areas shall be no
closer than 20' from any street right-of-way.
Public purpose served by this requirement is io assure adequate green space and planting
area to soften the aesthetic impacts of parking adjacent to a public right-of-way.
The existing Building on the site is a 2680 s.f. brick building with a metal mansard roof feature.
The reconstruction of this building would include the removal of the aqua-colored mansard,
the addition of a 1330s.f. office showroom space on the east end of the existing building. In
order to accomplish this addition, the petitioner would build out toward University Avenue 10'.
The front setback for this site is 35'. The 10' addition will not encroach in the front yard
setback area. �
Mr. Harstad, owner of the Car Wash north of this proposal, has indicated to stafF that he is not
opposed to the addition. No other comments have beer� received.
A need to rebuild the parking lot with new B-6-12 curb and gutter has been addressed in the
architectural plans. The parking lot will be reconstructed, however, an existing problem must
be addressed upon reconstruction of the parking lot. Currently, the parking lot lacks the
required 5' setback between the building and the parking lot. This setback can be
accomplished by moving the parking lot out away from the building. In doing so, a 3'
deficiency is created in the 20' landscape setback.
All 24 required parking stalls will fit within the reconstructed parking lot.
RECENT APPROVAL OF SIMILAR VARIANCE REQUESTS
A recent approval of a similar building setback variance request was a 15' to 5' reduction of
the side yard setback, for the A&W, at 7429 East River Road. A recent approval of a parking
setback variance request was the granting of a variance to 3' for a new building to be
constructed at the corner of Main Street and 57th Avenue.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE APPEALS COMMISSION:
The Appeals Commission unanimously recommended approval of both variances.
CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Appeals Commission.

PIN 1130024230019
Dear Mr. Hickok:
We request as follows 2 variances on the above named property:
e
1. We are rec�uesting a 10' variance to the building setback on the North side of this parcel. The
existiug build'ulg's Nortli wall is locaxed 5' fram the North property line. We are proposing to
exten� the non-complying Norih wall 10' to the East setback requireme�t. The extension of this
existing wall is compatible a,nd consistent with adjacent development and necessary to the design of
efiicient office and retail improvemeuts.
2. To accemodate the necessary garking requirements, the location of the eacisting building requires
a variance of 3' alung 73rd Avenue NE. New B6/12 curb is proposed as well as preservation of the
existing plantings.
We appreciate your consideration and input to the improvement of this property.
Sincerely,
.

FROM: John G. Flora, Public Works Director
DATE: January 21, 1998
SUBJECT: Rice Creek Bank Stabilization Project No. 309
On Wednesday, January 21,1998, we opened bids for the Rice Creek Bank Stabilization proj ect. Seven bids
were received.
The bids allowed for the submission of three different types of solutions: rip-rap with gabions, rip-rap with
Keystone and rip-rap with modular rubber block. The purpose of this was to identify the lowest cost
solution.
Park Construction submitted the lowest bid at $265,032.50 for rip-rap and gabion materials. This amounts
to a Rice Creek Watershed District contribution of $132,516.25, a City contribution of $66,258.13 and the
residents contribution of a like amount or an equivalent of $24.54 per lineal foot of improvement.
Within the storm water funds we have identified a total of $70,000 for this project.
Recommend the City Council receive the bids and award the contract for the Rice Creek Bank Stabilization
Proj ect No. 309 to Park Construction for the low bid of $265,032.50 for the rip-rap and gabion block option.

PW98-029
With the improvement of the Central Avenue/Highway 65 intersection improvement, a portion of the bike
path along the west side of Central Avenue needs to be replaced. The bike path was constructed a year ago
based upon the design of an 8-foot asphalt width. The current design requires a 10-foot pavement.
Accordingly, a variance is required to replace the bike path, maintaining its original width.
The attached resolution officially requests the variance to maintain the bike path in the relocated section of
Central Avenue at an 8-foot width.
Recommend the City Council adopt the attached resolution.

RE: AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR PLAYGROUND EGIUIPMENT BIDS
As part of the City of Fridley's objective of providing modern, safe, and handicapped accessible playground equipment in
the neighborhood parks, we have five park sites scheduled for equipment upgrades in 1998. Replacement equipment is
scheduled in the Parks 5-Year Capital Improvement Program for Briardale, Edgewater Gardens, Plymouth Square, Ruth
Circle and Sylvan Hills Parks.
Each playground site will be bid as an individual project. Vendors will be given a maximum dollar amount available for the
equipment and installation at each site. They will be expected to design separate play equipment structures that will
service pre-schoolers and e�ementary school aged children. All proposals are expected to meet requirements set forth in
the Americans with Disabilities Act. All equipment in these bids must meet guidelines as published by the United States
Cbnsumer Products Safety Commission. We will also be asking the equipment vendors to outline any quantity discounts
they would afford the City of Fridley for multiple projects being awarded to their company.
After receiving the bids on the various play equipment structures, each project will be evaluated by City staff and the Parks
and Recreation Commission, with input from area residents through scheduled neighborhood meetings. The projects will
be awarded to the vendor or vendors that provide the City with the best value for the funds available. The best value
analysis will include evaluation of quality, durability, safety, equipment longevity, aesthetic appeal and the play experience
provided. Past experience with the playground equipment supplier and installation of previous structures will also be a
factor in the selection process. After review, a recommendation will then be made to the City Council for the purchase and
installation of the equipment at each site.
Once the playgrounds are installed, City Parks staff will complete the playground safe zone area modifications as required,
and coordinate installation of a safety surface path to meet ADA specifications.
There are $204,000 identified in the 1987 Parks Capital Improvement Program for playground equipment upgrades. This
amount will cover the projects at each of the aforementioned parks, including the safe zone modifications and the ADA
surfacing.
It is my recommendation that the City Council pass a motion authorizing staff to advertise for bids on the new playground
equipment projects. Attached is a list of the sites, with an accompanying dollar amount as a maximum limit for the
equipment purchase and installation.

PLANNING DIVISION
. e ruary , �
TO: William W. Burns, City Manager��)'r�
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
Scott J. Hickok, Planning Coordinator
SUBJECT: Second Reading of Zoning Text Amendment, ZTA #97-04, by the City
of Fridley to Designate Seven Sites as "Approved Sites" for
Telecommunication Towers or Antennas on Existing Buildings.
On January 26, 1998, the City Council approved first reading of zoning text
amendment, ZTA #97-04. Along with the approval, the Council requested that staff
evaluate and prepare answers for a number of questions that arose during the
meeting.
Jim and Heidi Skarie Questions
Jim and Heidi Skarie own the Apartment complex at 5451 5�' Street. Mr. Skarie
expressed concem about the identification of the City right-of-way, adjacent to 694
(and his apartment complex), as an approved site for telecommunication equipment
and facilities. Mr. Skarie asked if the billboard site, east of his complex, could be
utilized.
Staff contacted Fairway Outdoor Advertising in response to Mr. Skarie's question.
Jeffrey Brown, General Manager, Fairway Outdoor Advertising indicated he may be
interested in the use of his site as a telecommunications site under certain
conditions. Mr. Brown's company has expressed an interest (in the past) in having
greater visibility to the billboard on this site. As recent as August 15, 1996, staff sent
correspondence to Mr. Brown regarding the City's position on removal of the
vegetation along the 694 right-of-way. The City's position was that it did not want to
have the Russian Olive trees trimmed or removed to increase the visibility of the
billboard structure, since it is a non-conforming billboard.
12.01
William W. Burns
February 5, 1998

Mr. Brown's concem about the visibility issue has come up again as a result of
staff s contact. In response to the telecommunication equipment question, Mr.
Brown indicated one possible solution may be to, �rebuild the current billboard "
structure onto a sing/e po/e, which would serve both as the support for fhe billboard
and also function as a communications antenna" The rebuilding would require
rezoning the property to C-3 or Industrial, at minimum, a text amendment to allow a
billboard in a C-2, General Business Distriet. As it exists today, the billboard sign
can (and should) be maintained, but not completely rebuilt. The rebuilding of the
billboard structure would cause it to lose its pre-existing, non-conforming status.
Heidi Skarie indicated that if the staff selected site were to be utilized, a location on-
the eastern edge of the site (beyond their garage) would be preferred. She
wondered if that location would be workable. With a longer driveway from 5�' Street
or an easement from the Skarie's to utilize their parking lot/driveway as an access
route to that location, Ms. Skarie's suggestion would be workable.
Both Mr. And Mrs. Skarie indicated that they would prefer not to have the right-of-
way site listed as an approved telecommunications site. They felt a location further
to the east would be appropriate. The owner of the apartment complex east of this
site contacted staff after the City Council meeting. She indicated that she does not
want the tower moved to the east as suggested by Mr. Skarie.
At the Council's last meeting, staff indicated that the most efficient location to place a
tower and facilities on the right-of-way (north of the Skarie site) would be near the 5�'
Street end of the property. If the Council concurs with Ms. Skarie that the east end
of the right-of-way would be the best location for a tower and facilities, staff will alert.
vendors as they begin negotiations for placement of their equipment and facilities
and the east end will be where they are instructed to go.
In one of several phone conversations wi#h staff after the City Council meeting, Mr.
Skarie indicated that he would allow the northeast corner of his site to be utilized as
a tower location. In a later conversation, he retracted the offer and stated he i"s still
evaluating the possibilities.
Council Questions
Mayor Jorgenson asked a question about placing the sign on the vacant parcel
befinreen the billboard site and the Skarie property. Staff contaeted Mr. Nedegaard,
owner of the vacant parcel. Mr. Nedegaard indicated a strong interest in having his
site utilized as an approved site. Mr. Nedegaard sees this as an opportunity
because the property does not directly abut a right-of-way. Mr. Nedegaard was
12.02
William W. Bums
February 5, 1998
PAGE 3
going to prepare a letter of support for the utilization of his site. Staff has not
received that letter, but anticipates it will arrive prior to the meeting Monday night.
Access to the Nedegaard site would either have to be from 5�' Street (across the site
being considered), or an extended drive aisle would be required across the Fairway
Billboard property. ,
Regarding the Springbrook Nature Center site, Councilmember Bolkcom asked
about the uncertainty of the NSP pole location and what it means if the pole is on
City property. Staff has indicated in the ordinance that a joint agreement would be
required befinreen the telecommunications vendor, NSP, and the City. NSP was
unable to confirm the location. Staff hired a surveyor to positively identify the NSP
structure location and underlying ownership. Changes in the language of the
ordinance that may be required as a result of the surveyor's work will be
communicated to the City Council at their meeting on Monday.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve second reading of ZTA #97-04.

Dear Barbara:
We have reviewed Scott Hickok's letter of November 17th regarding the telecommunication
tower and possibility to be a location for a tower and facility sight. We have no objections to our
selection and hope that we will be approved to negotiate with the telecommunications carriers in
this regard.
It is my understanding that the only reason for us to attend the planning commission and/or city
council hearings would be if we had an objection to our selection. Please let me know if there
would be some positive reason for us attending one or both of these meetings.
Yours very truly,

Dear Barbara:
Thank you for your assistance regarding the opportunity to permit our water tower as a
cellular antenna site. As we have discussed, the water tower, and the land it sits on, is the
property of the U.S. Navy and United Defense has received permission from the Navy to
have the water tower permitted as a potential cellular antenna site. Cellular providers
wanting to use the site shall contact United Defense and enter into a facilities use
arrangement that must be approved by the Navy. Neither United Defense, nor the Navy,
are obligated to provide water tower use to any cellular provider merely as a result of
issuance of the City permit.
To expedite future actions related to this issue, I request you contact the following
individuals at United Defense:
■ Matters related to the issuance of a City Permit for the site should be referred Mr. Jack
Hartman, Facilities Department, (612) 572-6942.
■ Individual cellular providers desiring use of the water tower for antenna installations
should contact Ms. Pat Miller, Contracts Department, (612) 572-7516
If there are any questions regarding this information, please call me at (612) 572-7615 or
contact me by e-mail at jeff_van_keuren C udlp.com. Again, many thanks for your
assistance in this matter.
