IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. ST. 2001-1:
MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember
Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:40 P.M.
Mr. Jon Haukaas, Public Works Director, stated that the streets involved in ST #2000-1 in the

affected properties in favor of the petition. There are eight letters in support of the project that
have been received by Council. The petition includes 24 signatures of properties that had signed

MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to receive the eight letters. Seconded by Councilmember
Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Barnette asked Mr. Haukaas to read the numbers representing those who voted
"yes" in favor of the project, and those who voted "no" against the project.
Mr. Haukaas stated that the net result after all the petitions were in, with 117 affected properties,
67 were "yes" votes, and 39 "no" votes. Eleven properties had not indicated one way or the
other.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the eight letters were included in the 67 "yes" votes.
Mr. Haukaas stated that was correct. The people who sent those letters were prior to the petition
and have since also signed the petition.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that he was impressed with all the neighbors who were involved in
this process. It was nice to see how the system works. He thought both sides did a great job in
getting involved.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the Council is not sure how the new "Vote yes" amendment is going
to impact this project. This amendment talks about discretionary spending and assessments
against properties could be classified as discretionary and may require a vote in the 2002
election.
Mr. Ray MacAfee, 1360 Hillcrest Drive, stated that he was the person who carried the petition
not supporting the project. He does not mind having people change their mind. He did not
misrepresent the petition, and told people that this was his opinion. Some of the people do not
have an address that faces into any of the affected axeas of Hillcrest and Woody Lane. He
wondered what was said to people to change their mind. It bothered him when he saw bikeways
and sidewalks included in the construction. This advertisement appeared in all three editions of
Focus News. He felt that the streets and curbings do not need fixing. He appreciates the people
who supported the project and believed people have been misrepresented what the project will
be.
Mayor Jorgenson asked Mr. Haukaas to clarify about the advertisement in Focus News.
Mr. Haukaas stated that the advertisements were put together early before a project is fully
developed.
Mayor Jorgenson asked Mr. Haukaas if they send a new advertisement to Focus News each time
they are listed.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 20, 2000 PAGE 6
Mr. Haukaas stated that they send a new one each time.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that this causes confusion and in the future, the language could be a little
more specific to the project.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Haukaas if there were any plans for a bikeway or sidewalk.
Mr. Haukaas stated that there were not in this project.
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember
Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 7:50 P.M.
11. CONSIDERATION SPRINGBROOK CREEK CHANNELIZATON PROJECT
NO. 335:
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to open the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:50 P.M.
Mr. Haukaas stated that this project area is approximately 300 feet of creek between Ironton and
Hugo Streets. The project was brought to Council as a result of a petition by the residents on
Ironton Street concerning the erosion and high water levels of Springbrook Creek during spring
runoff and after heavy rainfalls. Staff presented several options to the people and recently had a
new option presented from the conservation district that included some partial funding support.
As a result of these developments, a neighborhood meeting will be held November 28 to discuss
all four options before proceeding with the project.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that for the record, a motion is in order to open the public hearing and to
table this until December 1 l, 2000.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that there were two letters sent to the neighborhood about the
public hearing and the meeting for November 28 letting them know that is the plan this evening.
The gentleman from the conservation district could not be here tonight to answer any questions
but will be at the meeting on November 28.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the Anoka County Conservation District is looking at straightening
out the creek and adding a little bit of a flood plain. There would also be some funding available
from the Anoka County Conservation District for fifty percent funding from them. The other
fifty percent funding would then be needed from the residents.
Mr. Haukaas stated that the conservation district could put up to fifty percent of the project cost,
but they require 25 percent from the residents directly. The meeting on November 28 will be
held at the Municipal Center in Conference Room A adjacent to Council Chambers at 7:00 p.m.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 20. 2000 PAGE 7
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to continue the public hearing. Seconded by

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE CONTINUED ON
DECEMBER 11, 2000 AT THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
12. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING MANUFACTURED
HOME PARKS AND REQUIRING OWNERS TO PAY RELOCATION
EXPENSES TO DISPLACED RESIDENTS UPON PARK CLOSURE (WARD ?):
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to open the public hearing and waive the reading.
Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:55 P.M.
Mr. Grant Fernelius, HRA Housing Coordinator, stated that this is a public hearing only, no
action is needed. Some changes need to be made to the current version of the ordinance. The
first reading would be scheduled on December 18 with the second and final reading on January
8, 2000. In March, 2000, a petition was received by the City from residents of two mobile home
parks along Highway 65. The petition was asking the City to consider adopting an ordinance
requiring the park owner to provide relocation assistance in the event that the park was ever
closed. The park purchaser or developer would also be required to pay compensation to those
homeowners who could not move their home, or who chose not to. The adoption of this
ordinance is authorized under state law. Similar ordinances have also been adopted in ten other
metropolitan communities.
Mr. Fernelius stated that the intent of this ordinance is to ensure that the minimum level of
compensation would be provided to residents in the event that there ever is a park closure. This
ordinance applies to closure of the whole park as well as a portion of it. Mobile home park
owners are in a unique position owning the home but renting the land the home is located on.
There is equity in the unit, but not the land. When the park closes they are faced with the
difficulty and expense of finding a new spot or moving the home. Most of the units are older and
probably would not be accepted in a new park. Many of the owners would be faced with the
situation of losing their home and the investment in it. This ordinance attempts to provide them
with some financial help. What triggers this ordinance is closure of conversion of the park.
Some of this information is prescribed by State law. The owner is required to provide a nine
� month notice sent to all residents affected by the closure as well as the City. The City is required
to conduct a public hearing to review the impact the closure would have. The ordinance would
, require the owner to pay reasonable relocation costs to the tenants that would be displaced by the
closure. People who own the home and rent the lot would have two choices. They could receive
relocation assistance to move to another park within 25 miles or receive compensation. Renters
of the home and the lot would be entitled to relocation assistance. Reasonable cost would
include relocating to within a 25 mile radius of the park, preparation for the move, transportation,
hook-up with the new site, decks porches, skirting, etc. The second option is compensation. If
the homeowner is displaced they would turn over their title to the park purchaser who would pay
them for the value. The amount they would be paid would be equal to the assessed value or a
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 20, 2000 PAGE 8
third party appraisal. The park purchaser would be responsible for paying for the third party's
appraisal.
Mr. Fernelius stated that this creates certainty for folks who live in mobile home parks. It
provides financial assistance to them and outlines the process for park owners and residents in
the future. This does add cost for paying for the relocation or purchasing the title. It sets the
expectation from developers as well as the park owner that they may be obligated to assist in
paying some of these costs. This is a draft and timing issues need to be ironed out. Public input '
will need to be evaluated and revisions were not made to the draft.
�
Councilmember Barnette stated that there are no plans or discussions of any imminent sales or
closures of any of the mobile home parks currently in Fridley.
Mr. Fernelius stated that was correct.
Councilmember Barnette stated that this ordinance is an effort on the part of the City to be
proactive to support the owners of the park and the owners of the mobile homes.
Mr. Fernelius stated that proper credit needs to be given to the residents who initiated this
petition back in March.
Councilmember Barnette stated that he thought it was a nice reaction that staff gave to this at the
request of the membership of one of the paxks.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Fernelius what letter was referred to.
Mr. Fernelius stated that a letter from Ms. Traci Tomas, the manager of Park Plaza Estates, LLP,
was a cover letter for the revised version of the ordinance.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to receive the letter. Seconded by Councilmember
Wolfe.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. ,
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if a meeting had taken place with Ms. Tomas.
Ms. Dacy stated that they have not yet due to everyone's schedules. They did want to review the r
proposed suggestions with the City Attorney first also.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that there is no project at this time that would require removal of any
mobile home parks.
Ms. Dacy stated that was correct.
Ms. Tomas, Administrator of Park Plaza Estates, LLP, stated that in her letter she submitted
some basic changes to the draft of the ordinance. The park has no plans of closing. The owners
are in support of the park closing ordinance. It provides structure for everybody involved. The
-
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 20. 2000 PAGE 9
Minnesota Manufactured Housing Association and the All Parks Alliance are working together
to come up with a recommendation that they submitted to State Legislature so that there is a
statewide ordinance governing park closures throughout the state. One of the key points that
needed change in the ordinance was the part about the renter. Park Plaza Estates has no rental
units and they have no problem paying an owner that will be displaced. The requirement for the
residents to submit a verifiable cost estimate is vague.
Mr. Dale Starmark???, 1009 South Circle, stated that he wishes that the radius could be 200
miles because many parks do not accept old trailers. When the park is sold, residents have an
- opportunity to buy within 45 days. It is not right that renters have up to sixty days.
Mr. Brian Martin, Attorney for Fridley Terrace Mobile Home Park, stated that the park has no
present intention of closing. The park welcomes the ordinance to give some certainties. A point
of the ordinance he would like to make has to do with the confusion of owners and renters. He
would like to see the owners receive the compensation. The definition of park owner is
confusing. The statement that the owner should pay reasonable cost causes confusion also and
opens a door to not specifically defining the terms. In Subdivision 1 l, he did not see any reason
for establishing any criminal penalties in a civil matter.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that depending on how far the mobile home would have to be moved,
the cost could be large or small. She asked how an average cost could be arrived at.
Mr. Martin stated that it could be determined on a mileage basis.
Mr. Chris Schultz, 1119 Onandaga Street, asked why they could not buy their own land to move
their home to. He did not think there would be enough parks to move to. In Subdivision 10,
Section 3, he thought that it was not right for the houses to not be eligible to be moved, it is not
right to be denied their right to find a place to move to. He asked if every mobile home owner
receive a certain dollar amount where the park owners could pay the differential. This should
include people who sell and move to anywhere.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that if they were going to look at that for an option, she would like to see
some wording explaining this.
Mr. Schultz stated he would bring it to the next meeting.
Ms. Jerri Lynne, 7303 Taylor Street, stated that revisions addressed by residents of Fridley
M Terrace and Park Plaza Estates are that the discrepancy of reimbursement of personal property to
owners and renters be resolved. The consideration could be changed to include personal
expenses such as transportation of the displaced person and personal property, expenses for
' packing, crating, unpacking, and uncrating of the personal property, disconnecting, dismantling,
removing, reassembling, reinstalling, relocating household appliances, and other personal
property, storage of personal property for a period not to exceed twelve months, the cost of
insurance for the replacement value for the property being moved. The amount received by the
mobile home park owners if a park closes may not be sufficient to cover the cost because supply
and demand factors are resulted in premiums adding to the selling price of used manufactured
homes in the areas. She said the residents are asking that the issue of differential expenses for
renters and owners be reviewed. Subdivision 6 is suggested to be eliminated because it may be a
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 20, 2000 PAGE 10
violation of the nine-month park closure notification. The possibility that the inclusion of this
language may result in a legal battle is real.
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to receive the letter from Jerri Lynn. Seconded by
Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIVIOUSLY.
Councilmember Billings stated that in Subdivision 7, it says that within ninety days of a closure
statement, a displaced resident should provide the owner with a written statement of the
relocation costs. Subdivision 3 says that the closure statement goes out nine months before the
close. That means that within the first three months the resident has to put together all of their
costs. He asked how it fit with Subdivision 6. It sounds like the people have from nine months
to six months to get all of this done.
Ms. Dacy stated that is a timing issue and conflict in the process that the City would like
additional time to address.
Mr. Fernelius stated that is the language they need to clear up with all the affected parties.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that it has been suggested that clarification is needed for who is
responsible for costs associated with this and not actually the manager of the mobile home park.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked what the next process was.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that she and Mr. Fernelius need to meet
with Mr. Knaak to discuss some of the issues from the City's perspective. Once they do that,
staff will contact the people that had testified tonight to go through the issues one by one. She
said staff will do this prior to the first reading on December 18.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if December 18 was realistic with the holidays.
Ms. Lynn stated that it may be rushing this a litte.
Ms. Dacy stated that a meeting could be postponed until after the holidays.
Councilmember Billings stated that a purpose of this ordinance is to strike a balance between the
park owners who own the land and the mobile home owner upon sale. This means a reasonable "
outcome is needed. Both sides understand that this ordinance is designed to become a panacea
for someone that happens to own a mobile home. This is an additional cost being placed by the �
City on the underlying land owner. This lies in the face of the Charter Amendment and this
needs to go to the voters of 2002.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that he is in the process of putting together a list of potential
charges that could be construed as discretionary. He was not able to say if this is, but he is
analyzing the information. It is possible that it would apply here.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 20, 2000 PAGE 11
Mayor Jorgenson asked if there was a definition in the Charter or the Minnesota State Statute
that constitutes what is discretionary.
Mr. Knaak stated that there is no single source to give a clear definition.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if it would be prudent to come up with a definition of discretionary for
the Charter.
Mr. Knaak stated that he agrees.
Councilmember Barnette stated that there is no urgency on this and he feels that it would be
acceptable to continue this in January.
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember
Wolfe.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 8:59 P.M.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that this would be taken up at the January 8, 2001, City Council
meeting.
13. CONSIDERATION OF A REZONING, ZOA #00-02, BY EAST RANCH
ESTATES TO REZONE PROPERTY FROM C-3, GENERAL SHOPPING, TO C-
2 GENERAL BUSINESS GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST
CORNER OF UNIVERSITY AVENUE AND OSBORNE ROAD N.E. (WARD 3):
MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember
Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 9:00 P.M.
Ms. Dacy. Community Development Director, stated that because this item also relates to the
variance request, she was going to summarize both issues at once. The request is by East Ranch
Estates to rezone a parcel at the corner of University Avenue and Osborne Road from C-3 to C-2
in order to construct a new 4,595 square foot commercial building. The petitioner is also
requesting a couple of setback variances to the C-2 requirements. This is the former site of the
University Station restaurant. The parcel is one of 19 loop-back parcels in Fridley created by the
intersection of the frontage road along State TH 47 or State TH 65. The intent of the C-2,
General Commercial, better fits this particular lot. The two setback requirements had to do with
the side yard setback of 35 feet for the principal building and then a parking area setback from 20
feet to five feet along the University Avenue right-of-way. The driveway location will remain in
place. The building is going to have a different alignment on the site. This site is surrounded on
three sides by three right-of-ways and also contains a 60-foot wide St. Paul Waterworks
easement along Osborne Road. The buildable area is restricted.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 20, 2000 PAGE 12
Ms. Dacy stated that the proposed location was a result of a number of ineetings between the
petitioner and staff. This is really the best location for the building on the site for that particular
site. One of the tenants will more than likely have a drive-through window. The sixty-foot
easement takes a sizable parcel out of the lot. The driveways on the north side of the site will
align with one another and it will be a one-way traffic pattern to the site. Staff recommendation
on both requests was for approval subject to a number of stipulations: 1) The petitioner shall
submit written verification that all tanks have been removed and all soil remediation completed;
2) All development over this easement area included: landscaping, driveways, parking surfaces,
architectural features, etc. must approved by appropriate St. Paul Waterworks personnel prior to
commencement of construction; 3) Appropriate signage and pavement striping shall be provided
on site to eliminate conflicts for motorists entering and exiting the site; 4) Additional cosmetic
enhancements shall be made to the rear of the building so that it does not appear as a rear of the
building that has a prominent position along the service drive. Enhancements to be reviewed and
approved by staff, prior to issuance of the building permit; 5) All building doors must meet all
applicable building codes; and 6) In the event that the bikeway/walkways are plowed, the
petitioner shall manage the snow storage on site or have it removed as necessary.
Ms. Dacy stated that the Planning Commission recommended approval with stipulations.
Councilmember Billings asked if Stipulation No. 2 should say "All development over the St.
Paul Waterworks Easement." This easement was referenced to something that has already been
identified.
Ms. Dacy stated that was correct.
Councilmember Billings asked if the site plan has parking over the St. Paul Waterworks
easement.
Ms. Dacy stated that was correct.
Councilmember Billings asked if the developer is aware of the types of materials that need to be
used over the easement.
Ms. Dacy stated that he did.
Mr. Bob Schroer, East Ranch Estates, stated that he was present to answer any questions. He
thought Council and the City Manager have done quite a good job in working with them over the
last five years.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she would like the snow removal stipulation to be changed
to read: "The petitioner shall manage the snow removal on-site or have it removed as
necessary." She said the City does not allow any storage of snow on the walkways/bikeways
even though the City does not plow them. She felt it was reasonable to change so that the City is
treating everyone similarly.
Mr. Haukaas stated that was a correct interpretation of the snow removal process.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 20, 2000 PAGE 13
Mr. Schroer stated that it bothered him that he would have to go to the expense of removing it
when it is not necessary. He is paying taxes on the land anyway. In 1983, when they paved the
bikeway/walkway it was agreed upon by Council that the previous owner could use that area for
snow storage. It is just another added expense.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that there was an ordinance change last yeaz prohibiting anyone from
storing snow on their neighbors property or City property. A number of folks were pushing their
snow across the City roadway into the right-of-way and there were huge tunnels of snow across
the roads. Perhaps an agreement could be worked out with Mr. Schroer because he is not going
to be pushing it across a City road.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that until the City starts plowing the bikeway, it is not an issue.
Mr. Schroer stated that he agreed.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that they have to treat all citizens the same in this matter.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that it may not be the same situation for everybody. He asked if
the City would actually cite someone for the same situation.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that when this was originally passed, it was to take care of the
contractor that pushed the snow into the street or the next door neighbor's property.
Mayor Jorgenson asked Mr. Haukaas if the City has had to cite anyone for a situation like this.
Mr. Haukaas stated that there were not that he was aware of. It was mainly for contractors
pushing the snow into the street.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that it is against the law to snowblow the snow out into the street.
Councilmember Barnette asked if there was a gas station there.
Mr. Schroer stated that there was in 1960. It was a Shell station.
Councilmember Barnette asked if that station had to remove the tanks when they moved out, and
if the City has a record of that.
Mr. Schroer stated that they know the tanks are out. There was a fuel oil tank to heat the
premises, and the previous owner does not recall if he took the tank out. A record could not be
found it. The EPA tests could not find anything either.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she thinks that it will be a real beautification project.
Mr. Schroer stated that with all the stipulations they have, they would like to see something
happen with the lights at the corner like the City has done with the other locations in Fridley.
That would be an asset to the corner and the other asset is to redo the University Avenue fence.
His realtor, Jon Nelson, and his architect, Dan O'Brian, have discussed the fence a little bit, and
they both agree that the fence is a detriment to Fridley as we are trying to beautify and increase
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 20, 2000 PAGE 14
the values of the properties. The City wants people to improve properties but that fence has
never been improved. There are other concerns about University Avenue also.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the residents adjacent to the fence do not want it removed because
of the safety issues. It was a question in the citizen survey done a few years ago, and it was
voted to stay.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that they should wait to see what happens with Gateway East.
Hopefully, this will spur the issue to be looked at again. Council has looked at the lights on
Osborne Road before. If the businesses want to come on board and be a part of the committee,
that would be fine.
Mr. Schroer asked if all the other businesses in the other areas where lights were added agreed to
have it assessed to their properties.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that they did not. It was a street reconstruction project. Not all
the businesses on Osborne Road are retail type businesses, but it does not mean that Council
cannot look at it again.
Mr. Schroer stated that the fence is getting older and worse looking.
Councilmember Barnette asked when he would anticipate demolition of the building and when
he would start construction.
Mr. Schroer stated that if approval comes tonight, the building would probably be torn down
next week. After that, construction would probably start in six months.
Councilmember Barnette asked Mr. Schroer if any antiques were inside the building for sale.
Mr. Schroer stated that the former owner had legal rights to everything that was in the building.
He removed everything. The interior is trashed.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if he was at liberty to say what shops would be in the building.
Mr. Nelson stated that he is leasing the building and helping with the project. As of this
moment, there are no leases signed so he cannot say who they are. If one signs, the City would
be very happy with them.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if she might be able to buy a cup of coffee there someday.
Mr. Nelson stated that was right.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to close the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilmember Wolfe.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 9:15 P.M.

SUBJECT: STATE LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL TO SELL WINE IN GROCERY STORES
DATE: December 7, 2000
As you might have heard, a proposed bill has been drafted that would put wine in grocery stores. As I
understand it, the draft bill is currently looking for a sponsor to take it to the next legislative session.
If this is the case, it is the beginning of the end for municipal liquor. A large portion of the profit
margin would be lost in all of the liquor stores, if this bill were to pass. We would also see, in a few
years, the extension of the concept allowing other alcoholic beverages into grocery stores.
A number of cities are passing a resolution in opposition to this concept and we would like to follow
the other cities by doing the same.
We would like to propose a resolution for consideration by the Fridley City Council opposing the sale
of wine or other alcohol within grocery or convenience stores. The sale of wine or other alcohol,
other than 3.2 beer, should be available for sale only in off-sale liquor stores or bars owning off-sale
liquor licenses. The reasons for offering this resolution include:
• We believe it is this city council's goal to prevent youth access to alcohol and to control the
sale of alcohol.
• We believe that the sale of alcohol in grocery and convenience stores will have a negative
effect on the prevention of druriken driving.
• We believe that the sale of alcohol in grocery and convenience stores will have a detrimental
economic impact on the Fridley's Off-Sale Municipal Liquor Operation and ultimately the
General Fund. The 2001 HRA budget calls for transferring $300,000 of municipal liquor
store income into the General Fund. With the levy limit now required by the City Charter,
this liquor revenue is essential.
Currently, the City of Fridley does not allow persons under 21 years of age into our off-sale liquor
stores to purchase any product, especially alcohol, unless a parent or guardian, at lease 21 years of
age, accompanies them.

A RESOLUTION OPPOSING TI� CONCEPT OF ALLOWING
FURTI�R PROLIFERATION OF LIQUOR SALES FROM
DISPENSAR�S OTI�R THAN DULY AUTHORIZED OFF-SALE
LIQUOR STORES
WHEREAS, the sale of 3.2 beer by convenience stores, grocery stores, gas stations, and othe� associated retail
ouUets for off premise consumption is currentiy allowed under Minnesota law; and
WHEREAS, the clerks at the afo�ementioned types of retaii outiets are not generally fully trained to recognize
fake identification or in other alcohol management techniques normally required for the employees of duly authorized
off-sale liquor dispensaries; and
WHEREAS, there is a proposal before the Minnesota Legislature that, if adopted and made law, would allow
convenience stores, grocery stores, gas stations and other similar retail outlets to sell wine including sweet °pop"
wines, wine coolers and associated products for off premises consumption; and
WHEREAS, the City of Fridley is endeavoring to curtail youth access to alcohol and tobacco products; and
WHEREAS, the proliferation of the types of outlets where the sale of alcohol provide:s additional opportunities for
youth to have access to alcohol; and
WHEREAS, if the proposal is adopted and made law, would cause a substantial e.conomic loss to the City of
Fridley and a possible impact to the level of service provided to its residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Fridley opposes the
concept of allowing the further proliferation of liquor sales from dispensaries o�ther than duly authorized
off-sale liquor stores.

LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANT
The City of Fridley has been selected to receive funds in the amount of $22,734 in connection
with the Local law Enforcement Block Grant. In order to receive funds, this grant has a required
match of $2,526. In addition, the following conditions need to be met:
1. On Thursday, November 16, 2000, an advisory board consisting of the recommended
agencies and/or representatives met and discussed the use of funds. The attached sheet
contains the recommended expenditures proposed by the Police Department.
2. Upon completion of the advisory board's recommendations, a public hearing needs to be
held. The public hearing notice was submitted for inclusion in the November 23 and
November 30, 2000, issues of the Focus News. The public hearing date was scheduled
for Monday, December 11, 2000. We do not anticipate a large response to this non-
controversial issue. - - -
Give the limited amount of funds available through this block grant and the other grant funding
already in place, we feel that purchasing equipment is the best use of these funds.

SUBJECT: Consider Resolution to Create Tax Increment Financing District No.
17 and Adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Gateway
East Proiect.
l�pdate
On December 7, 2000 the HRA will consider approval of the development
agreement with Real Estate Equities for the Gateway East Project. In addition,
the Authority will also take action to establish the tax increment financing ;
district. Assuming that the HRA approves the agreement and TIF district, on
December 11, 2000 the Council will need to approve the TIF district as well. As
of the date of this memo, staff is continuing to finalize the project details and
we will have an update for the Council on Monday night.
TIF Plan Overview
The attached TIF Plan is required by state law and spells out the details of the
TIF district. The TIF Plan includes the traditional "but for" test, plus an
estimated budget, a cash flow analysis with tax increment projections and an
estimate of the impacts on the other taxing jurisdictions.
The TIF plan anticipates that the new development will have an estimated
market value of $4,480,000 and generate $70,820 in new taxes. After deducting
the original tax capacity ($4,816) the project will produce about $65,144 in tax
increment per year. Over the life of the district (25 years) the cumulative tax
increment is estimated to be $2,113,124, less $211,312 for administrative
charges which results in $1,901,812 of net available tax increment. Using a
26
Gateway East TIF Memo
December 6, 2000
Page 2
7.5% present value factor, the tax increment revenue stream has a present
value of $646,162.
There are a number of assumptions in the financial analysis that should be
noted. First, the cash flow projection assumes a 2% annual rate of inflation,
beginning in 2005/2006. Second, the average sales price is estimated to be
$160,000. In our previous analysis we have used an average sales price
of $135,000. However, for purposes of the TIF Plan it is important to error on
the liberal side and over-estimate revenue since a conservative projection could
mean a loss of tax increment to the Authority (any increment over the
projected level would have to be returned). From a practical standpoint, the
Gateway East project already has a significant shortfall and whatever tax
increment is generated will simply "soften" the net cost to the Authority.
Intended Use of TIF
Legally, all of the tax increment that is generated must be used to pay for
eligible expenses incurred after the date the district is certified. In other words,
the TIF revenue cannot be used to reimburse the Authority for any expenses
incurred to date. However, the funds can be used for the site improvements
that have been identified. For example, the �-oads, utilities, storm ponding,
fencing and lighting are all eligible expenses. We have received preliminary
estimates that these costs could exceed $600,000 or more. The TIF plan
contemplates that 100% of the tax increment will be used to pay for eligible
expenses.
Need for TIF
Creating the tax increment district is needed in order to facilitate redevelopment
of this important corner. The traditional "but for" test is met due to the fact that
the Gateway East area would not be redeveloped without public involvement.
The tax increment will help reduce the net cost to the Authority, which will have
invested over $1,200,000 in the project for such things as acquisition, relocation,
demolition and site improvements.
Without the HRA's assistance, a redevelopment project would not take place. It
would be too costly for a private developer to acquire the sites and create a
cohesive development site. In all likelihood the project area would continue to
adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood and become a further blighting
influence on a highly visible corridor.

Gateway East TIF Memo
December 6, 2000
Paqe 3
.
Other Issues
The Gateway East TIF district would be seventeenth TIF district created by the
Ciry, however the number of active TIF districts is far less. For example, Districts
No. 4, 5, 8 and 10 have all expired, and Districts No. 2 and 3 are restricted. In
the ca"se of the last two districts, no additional expenditures can be made except
inside those districts. Using TIF for the Gateway East project is consistent with
state statutes and clearly meets the legislative intent of a redevelopment district.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution which
creates Tax Increment Financing District No. 17 and adopts the Tax Increment
Financing Plan for said district.

EXHIBIT A TO RESOLUTION NO.
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF
Plan") for Tax Increment Financing District No. 17 (the "TIF District") as required pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3, are as follows:
1. Finding that the TIF District is a"redevelopment district" as defined in Minnesota
Statutes.
The TIF District consists of nine parcels of land which qualify as a"redevelopment district"
under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subd. 10. Parcels comprising at least 70 percent
of the area of the TIF District are occupied by improvements. All buildings located within the
TIF District were deemed blighted, as evidenced by reports on file with the Authority.
2. Finding that the proposed development or redevelopment, in the opinion of the Council,
would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and,
therefore, the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary.
The redevelopment project consists of the acquisition, relocation, remediation, utility and street
relocation and site preparation for the construction of a 28 unit, owner-occupied townhouse
facility. Because of the substantial costs of acquisition, demolition, remediation, public
improvements, and site preparation, it would not be economically feasible for the redeveloper
to proceed with this project without the Authority's assistance. City staff has determined that
the increased market value realized from a project receiving no TIF assistance would be
considerably less than the increased market value (less the present value of tax increment
receipts) from a project utilizing TIF assistance. (see attached Schedule).
3. Finding that the TIF Plan conforms to the general plan for the development or
redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The Authority and Council have reviewed the TIF Plan and determined that it conforms to the
future land use plan of the City.
4. Finding that the TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound
needs of the City as a whole for the development or redevelopment of Redevelopment Project
No. 1 by private enterprise.
Development of the townhouse facility will improve the currently underutilized property that is
located in a highly visible area of the Ciry along University Avenue and will provide a buffer
between existing commercial and single-family, residential areas within the neighborhood. In
addition, the project will increase the City's tax base by approximately $4,000,000.

SCHEDULE 1 TO EXHIBIT A
RESOLUTION NO.
REDEVELOPMENT WITHOUT TIF ASSISTANCE
The TIF District includes nine parcels. Due to thei�
size and zoning several parcels would have to be
combined to create buildable sites. Under this
scenario, four duplex units and one small
commercial building (7,500 square feet) could
be constructed.

REDEVELOPMENT WITH TIF ASSISTANCE
The TIF District includes the same nine parcels,
all of which would be combined and re-platted into
a single development site. Under this scenario
twenty-eight new units of owner-occupied housing
could be constructed with a projected market
value of $4,480,000.

SECTION XVIII
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 17
(GATEWAY EAST PROJECT)
Subsection 18.1. Statement of Obiectives. See Section I, Subsection 1.5,
Statement of Objectives.
Subsection 18.2. Modified Redeveloqment Plan. See Section I, Subsections 1.2
through 1.15.
Subsection 18.3. Parcels to be Included. The boundaries of Tax Increment
Financing District No. 17 are described on the attached Exhibit XVI11-A and illustrated on
Exhibit XVIII-B.
Subsection 18.4. Parcels in Acquisition. The Authority may publicly acquire and
reconvey any or all of the parcels in Tax Increment Financing District No. 17 identified on
the attached Exhibit XVI I I-A.
The following are conditions under which properties not designated to be acquired
may be acquired at a future date:
(1) The Authority may acquire property by gift, dedication, condemnation or direct
purchase from willing sellers in order to achieve the objectiv�s of the Tax Increment
Financing Plan; and
(2) Such acquisition will be undertaken only when there is assurance of funding to
finance the acquisition and related costs.
Subsection 18.5. Development Activitv for which Contracts have been Siqned• As
of the date of adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan, the Authority intends to enter
into a Redevelopment Agreement with respect to the activities discussed below.
Subsection 18.6. Sqecific Development Expected to Occur. At this time it is
anticipated that an approximately 28 unit owner-occupied, residential housing townhouse
development with an estimated market value of $4,480,000, will be constructed beginning
in 2001 and will be completed in 2002.
Subsection 18.7. Prior Planned Improvements. The Authority shall, after due and
diligent search, accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor or its notice of
district enlargement with a listing of all properties within Tax Increment Financing District
No. 17 for which building permits have been issued during the _ eighteen (18) months
immediately preceding approval of the Tax Increment Financing Plan by the Authority. The
county Auditor shall increase the original tax capacity of Tax Increment Financing District
No. 17 by the tax capacity of each improvement for which the building permit was issued. If
said listing does not accompany the aforementioned request or notice, the absence of
35
�
such listing shall indicate to the County Auditor that no building permits were issued in the
eighteen (18) months prior to the Authority's approval of the Tax Increment Financing Plan.
Subsection 18.8. Fiscal Disqarities. The Council hereby elects the method of tax
increment computation set forth in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subdivision 3,
clause (a) if and when commercial/industrial development occurs with Tax Increment
Financing District No. 17.
Subsection 18.9. Estimated Public
associated with Redevelopment Project No.
1.10.
Improvement Costs. The estimated costs
1 are listed in Section I, Subsections 1.9 and
Subsection 18.10. Estimated Amount of Bonded Indebtedness.
It is anticipated that $1,599,861 of bonded indebtedness could be incurred with respect to
this portion of Redevelopment Project No. 1. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.178, Subdivision 1, General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds may be used as required
to amortize the costs identified in Section I, Subsections 1.9 and 1.10. The Authority
reserves the right to pay for all or part of the activities listed in Section I, Subsections 1.9
and 1.10 relating to Redevelopment Project No. 1 as tax increments are generated and
become available.
Subsection 18.11. Sources of Revenue. The costs outlined in Section I,
Subsection 1.9 will be financed through the annual collection of tax increments as well as
grants received from the State of Minnesota and the Metropolitan Council.
Subs�ction 18.12. Estimated Ori inal and Captu�ed Tax Capacities. The tax
capacity of all taxable property in Tax Increment Financing District No. 17, as most recently
certified by the Commissioner of Revenue of the State of Minnesota on January 2, 2000, is
estimated to be $5,016.
The estimated captured tax capacity of Tax Increment Financing District No. 17
upon completion of the proposed improvements on January 2, 2002 is estimated to be
$55,072. All the captured net tax capacity is necessary to finance the improvements to be
undertaken within Tax Increment Financing District No. 17, therefore the Authority chooses
to retain all the captured net tax capacity for purposes of tax increment financing.
Subsection 18.13. Tax Increment. Tax increment has been calculated at
approximately $64,908 upon completion of the improvements assuming a static tax
capacity rate and a valuation increase of two percent (2%) compounded annually.
Subsection 18.14. Tax CapacitY Rate. The estimated 1999/2000 total tax capacity
rate is estimated at 117.859%.
Subsection 18.15. Tvpe of Tax Increment Financinq District. Tax Increment
Financing District No. 17 is, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision
10, a Redevelopment District.
Subsection 18.16. Duration of Tax Increment Financinq District. The duration of
Tax Increment Financing District No. 17 is expected to be twenty five (25) years from
receipt of the first tax increment. The date of receipt of the first tax increment is estimated
36
to be July, 2003. Thus, it is estimated that Tax Increment Financing District No. 17,
including any modifications for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate in
the year 2028.
Subsection 18.17. Estimated Impact on Other Taxinq Jurisdictions. The estimated
impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes construction would have occurred without the
creation of Tax Increment Financing District No. 17. If the construction is a result of tax
increment financing, the impact is $0 to other entities. Notwithstanding the fact that the
fiscal impact on the other taxing jurisdictions is $0 due to the fact that the financing would
not have occurred without the assistance of the City, the attached Exhibit XVIII-E reflects
the estimated impact of Tax Increment Financing District No. 17 if the "but for" test was not
met.
Subsection 18.18. Election of C� Contribution. The Council hereby elects a
qualifying local contribution equal to five percent (5.00%) of the tax increment generated
from Tax Increment Financing District No. 17, as set forth in Minnesota Statutes 273.1399.
Subsection 18.19. Modification of Tax Increment Financinq District and/or Tax
Increment Financinq Plan. On December 11, 2000, no modifications to Tax Increment
Financing District No. 17 or the Tax Increment Financing Plan therefore has been made,
said date being the date of initial approval and adoption thereof by the City Council.

"BUT FOR" ANALYSIS
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 17
The proposed redevelopment district consists of nine parcels, three of which contained
structures. The City Council and the Authority adopted resolutions determining that those
three parcels were occupied by structurally substandard buildings and such parcels were to
be included within a tax increment financing district. The substandard structures were
demolished in 2000.
The street pattern in this area is also inefficient. Four of the nine parcels are "double
frontage" lots.
The structurally substandard buildings consisted of J.R. Automotive, Cash `n Pawn (a
former service station) and a duplex. The property proposed to be included within the
district is also blighted due to incompatible land uses and contamination.
It is proposed that 28, owner-occupied, townhouse units be constructed within the district
and will be sold at prices starting at $126,000. It is expected the City's tax base will
increase by approximately $4,000,000.
The proposed tax increment district contains parcels that have land uses that are
incompatible with each other and with adjacent parcels, have required remediation and
require major infrastructure improvements. The new construction will improve the currently
underutilized property that is located in a highly visible area of the City along University
Avenue and will provide a buffer befinreen existing commercial and single-family, residential
areas within the neighborhood. The existing University Avenue frontage road will be
reconstructed in a more conducive alignment for efficient development and double frontage
lots will be eliminated. Because of the substantial costs of acquisition, relocation,
demolition�_remediation, and utility and street relocation, all of which substantially exceed
the market value of the land, this redevelopment project could not proceed without the
financial assistance of the Authority.
