PRELIMINARY PLAT REQUEST, PS #01-02, BY GEORGE BATESON, TO _ALLOW FIVE SINGLE FAMILY LOTS, GENERALLY LOCATED AT HEATHER PLACE AND CENTRAL AVENUE (WARD 2): Mr. Bolin, Planning Coordinator, stated that the petitioners on this request are George and Ann Bateson and Dennis and Mary Pietrini. They are seeking to replat the Heather Hills North Addition into five lots to construct five single-family homes. They had originally platted the Heather Hills North property into four single-family homes lots in 1999. Fridley code does require that lots in the R-1 district be 75 feet in width with a minimum lot area of 9,000 square feet. The lots proposed range in width from 76 feet to 184 feet and in area of under 15,000 to over 26,000 square feet in size. The home currently under construction by Kootenia Builders will still meet all the setback requirements if this plat is approved. A public hearing was held before the Planning Commission on May 2, and the request was approved with stipulations. Staff recommended approval with five stipulations because it meets size requirements and provides additional home opportunities in Fridley. Councilmember Wolfe asked if the sewer line was in for the five lots. Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, indicated that it was. Councilmember Barnette asked if the parcels were combined with Lot No. 5. Mr. Bolin stated that it has been combined with them. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if all the sewer and water mains would be in before the final plat is approved. Mr. Bolin stated that a letter of intent has been provided by Mr. Bateson indicating that he will agree to install those as needed and determined. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the final plat would be approved. Mr. Haukaas stated that is what staff recommended. Councilmember Billings asked if the home being built will meet all the setbacks and if the lot has been sold. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 2001 PAGE 6 Mr. Bolin stated that it would meet the setbacks and Mr. Bateson can answer the question of who the owner of the lot is. Mr. George Bateson, 6196 Heather Place N.E., one of the petitioners, stated that Lot 2 was sold to Kootenia Builders so they could commence building the home because it will be in the Pazade of Homes in August. There are legal agreements for when the plat is approved that the deeds are ` worked out such that they get some of Lot 1, and they give up some of Lot 2 to form Lot 3. 0 Councilmember Billings stated that in a replatting, all of the underlying fee owners should become applicants so that each of the fee owners sign off on the plat indicating that they agree to the replatting. Mr. Bateson stated that the original request for the replat was signed by the President of Kootenia Builders and also the preliminary plat would have Kootenia Builders on the document. Couricilmember Billings stated that Kootenia Builders is a co-applicant and they will be signing the plat. Mr. Bateson stated that they are signing the plat and have signed the original loan application. The liabilities of the construction site resulted in them signing for the purchase of Lot 2. This is under the legal advice of their attorneys and they are asking for Council's support. They will build a home to be proud of. He said he is not a seasoned developer, and Mr. Hickok really helped with the whole process and represents the City in an outstanding fashion. MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to approve Preliminary Plat Request, PS #01-02 with the following iive stipulations: 1. Grading and drainage plan to be approved by City's engineering staff prior to the issuance of building permits, in order to minimize impacts to the surrounding properties. � _ _ _._ _ 2. Petitioner shall provide all easements as shown on preliminary plat drawing. 3. During construction, silt fencing shall be used where applicable. 4. Petitioner to pay required park dedication fees prior to issuance of building permits. 5. Petitioner to pay all water and sewer connection fees. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 2001 PAGE 7 10. RESOLUTION NO. 27-2001 TO VACATE A 5-FOOT PORTION OF AN EXISTING UTILITY EASEMENT AND THEN RECREATE A 20-FOOT UTILITY EASEMENT ON LOTS 5 AND 6, BLOCK 2, INNSBRUCK NORTH 2 ADDITION, GENERALLY LOCATED AT 5490 EAST DANUBE ROAD (SAV #01-04, BY FORREST HARSTAD) (WARD 2): Mr. Bolin, Planning Coordinator, stated that Mr. Harstad is seeking to vacate a five-foot portion along the northerly portion of an existing utility easement and then grant an additional five feet of utility easement along the southerly edge. A public hearing on this request was held at the May 2 Planning Commission meeting, and the neighbors objecfed to building on this property. A motion was made to approve the vacation unanimously with one stipulation. Staff recommended that Council concur with the Planning Commission and grant approval of this request with one stipulation. Councilmember Billings asked if the easement runs along the lot line between Lots 5 and 6. Mr. Bolin stated that was correct. Councilmember Billings asked if there was a possibility of Mr. Harstad wanting to build a house on these two lots. Mr. Bolin stated that the proposed home would be on Lot 5 with the two lots being combined into one property. Lots 5 and 6 are one tax parcel. Councilmember Billings asked how far the existing northerly line of the existing easement was from the lot line. Mr. Bolin stated that it is ten feet from the lot line. Councilmember Billings stated that would be a side yard setback for a building on the lot. Mr. Bolin stated that it is a ten-foot setback for living area with a five-foot setback for a garage. Councilmember Billings asked if there may be some other reasons a home is not wanted on Lot 5 and what impact will the vacation have on the ability to build a home. Mr. Bolin stated that it would have no impact on the ability to build a home. The vacation would give the petitioner an additional five feet to move the home around on this site. The petitioner could build on this lot with or without the vacation. Councilmember Billings stated that this would have no impact on the developer but could have a large impact to the City if it had to be dug up. Mr. Bolin stated that was correct. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 2001 PAGE 8 Councilmember Wolfe stated that the action Council is being asked to make does not have anything to do with the neighborhood's questions. Mayor Lund stated that the neighborhood should be heard though. Mr. Rick Schroeder, 5497 East Danube, stated that he is surprised that these two lots are combined. This gives more area for a much larger building and his main concern is that this large building will make for a watershed and property damage concern. The hydrology test was completed in 1999 which was one of the driest years. There are changes in the watershed. The first lot is wetland and unbuildable. There have been two one hundred year floods in the last 4 years. Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, stated that the hydrology test was based on a ten-year return frequency, which is to measure a storm expected once every ten years. It equivocates to slightly over 4 inches of rain in a 24-hour period. The study compared what that amount of rain would do to the elevation of the existing pond, regardless of what the starting water level was. The �ond that backs up to this property would raise approximately 1/4 inch. Councilmember Billings asked if the City was aware of any water problems after the construction of Medtronic's building. Mr. Haukaas stated that they are not aware of any. Mayor Lund stated that the existing two lots look like the lowest lots to him. Ms. Pat Freeburg, 5557 East Danube Road, stated that she took photographs to show what has happened to Farr Pond and what it is doing to water and saturation levels. The photographs show that the around is saturated and has standing water. There is drainage on Farr Pond but if more water is put into the pond than it can handle it will back up. Ms. Freeburg read the letter written to the Rice Creek Watershed District regarding the adversely affected drainage systems should there be a house built on those lots. MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to accept the letter. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Ms. Freeburg stated that soil samples have been taken from the mounds of dirt that were dumped by the sides of these two lots. The samples were taken from the tops of the mounds. They request that building on these lots not be permitted. Ms. Ann Ulrich, 5505 West Danube Road, asked why moving the easement was being discussed prior to a house being planned or approved. This is also the first time they have heard about the lots being combined. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 2001 PAGE 9 Mr. Bolin stated that they were combined two months ago and does not require action from the City Council. Ms. Ulrich stated that the intent of moving this easement was for ease of any work that needed to be done as a result of the home being built on this parcel. Until this point it had not needed to be moved. Mr. Lund stated that it is in the best interests of the City to move this for accessing. Councilmember Billings stated that the City has a right to work on a 20-foot piece of property to do any repairs. Cunently this pipe is only three feet away from the edge of the 20-foot strip. We need the pipe centered so that if it needs work, it can be done at the most reasonable cost to the citizens of Fridley. The City only has a legal right to work on that portion of the property on which they have an easement. Mr. Norm Schulz, 5535 West Danube Road, stated that water is encroaching on his property. He askecY what action the neighbors should take if water floods their homes because a home was built on that property. Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Knaak what could the City do to prevent the building of a home on those two lots. Mr. Knaak slated that if the City had a lot that met all the standards, which appears to be the case here, a builder could force the City to issue the permits. The City would be required to permit construction and pay the attorney's fees. Councilmember Bolkcom asked what recourse the neighborhood has if there are issues of runoff afterward. Mr. Knaak stated that it would be a private course of action against the property owner if the water from the property causes damage. = Mr. Rick Nye, 5477 E. Danube, stated that the land was supposed to be unbuildable and there has been illegal dumping there. He asked why this was being considered. He said they have maps of the pond and what was filled in. Mayor Lund stated that a 1986 permit was issued to do some fill work on the site. In 1994 a proposal to put some fill on the southern side of the lot for home construction was denied. Someone had permission to do some fill work. � Ms. Freeburg stated that Mr. Harstad does not deny that there was illegal filling. They deny that they are the ones who did it. There was a permit given in 1986 to do fill and they did not do it. Sometime after that but before 1993, the pond was filled with no permit so it was illegal. There would not have been enough buildable land to put a house there if there was no illegal dumping. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 2001 PAGE 10 Mr. Hickok stated that in 1994 Fridley was in a dispute with the Harstads regarding the amount and type of fill, and whether or not it affected the wetlands. There was a great deal of proof the Harstad's needed to provide about the dumping. The determination was made by professionals that this dumping did not detrimentally affect the wetland. It was determined that if a home were to be built, it would be built outside of that filled-in area. A letter was then sent to the Harstads regarding what they needed to build on those lots. Mr. Merle Peterson, 5495 West Danube Road, stated that he had pictures that represented where the house was to be built on the property and the water, vegetation and trees around it. The area that was filled used to be all water. Now there is less area for the water space. Additional water in people's basements is probably because of that fill. If there is any water area damaged by construction it will raise the ground water higher than it already is. Mayor Lund asked how quickly the pond lowers after the spring thaw. Mr. Peterson stated that the area is still totally saturated. The neighbor's lots are all spongy. The area should be cleared out and restored as it was before to reduce the water problems. Mr. Harstad has said he will be removing all the trees and there are some large trees that people enjoy. There is also wildlife there. Mr. Harstad showed him the property he was going to build on Lot 5. The actual easement had the house plans right across it. After the easement is moved, his house would no longer be sitting on the easement itself. Having the easement removed will benefit Mr. Harstad. Mr. Karl Breitbarth, 5477 East Danube Road, stated that Mr. Harstad is looking at building 35 feet from the street. The houses are all aligned along the street and his house will be farther out towards the street which will present a safety issue. It will also take up a lot of the water area. The house should be set back farther but that will force the water in the back elsewhere. Mr. Bolin stated that the house cannot be more than six feet in front of the neighboring houses. There is a fifteen-foot boulevard, and the other homes are right around the 35-foot setback. Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Bolin how close the house could be built. Mr. Bolin stated that it could be 29 feet from the property line. Mr. Roman Zownirowycz, 5527 East Danube Road, stated that Mr. Harstad indicated that he would not move the house back because it would cost $500 more for the driveway. The nanny quarters would have its own separate entrance and he is going to turn this house into a twin- home or a triplex with no intention of living there. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the placement of this house would cause any sightline problems. Mr. Haukaas stated that the radius on the curb is 478 feet. It should not create a problem. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21. 2001 PAGE 11 Councilmember Wolfe stated that from the front of the existing house, they could only go six feet past. If they go 35 feet from the curb, they will still have to add 15 feet. Mr. Breitbarth stated that it would still stick out from the other houses. Ms. Kathryn Schulte, 5554 East Danube Road, stated that they had standing water in the corners of their yard and their trees died. Her fear is that all the houses backed up to the pond will lose all their trees. A lovely neighborhood would change dramatically. Ms. Ulrich stated that she backs up to the property across the pond. She has spoken with two of the previous owners. One was frustrated because this issue was being raised again when it was proven_before that it was unbuildable. His comment was that the Harstads waited long enough until the City Council turned over to try again, hoping people forgot about these issues. It is hard to believe that there are enough flat surfaces to build on that land. Mr. Harstad said he would have to bring in fill and a retaining wall. That will affect the natural drainage into the pond. The former neighbor was concerned about the water you cannot see and that would mean the rising of the ground water table. It was proven at that time that the water levels would rise. Ms. Ulrich indicated that she had a letter from Ms. Teri Raymond, 5595 West Danube Road, which stated that a Public Works employee told her that they checked the drains to make sure they were not clogged. This employee stated that someone was thinking of building on East Danube Road. It was also expressed that it would not happen. MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to receive the letter. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Ms. Gretchen Schroeder, 5497 East Danube Road, stated that she also spoke to the sewer supervisor. He was helpful in assisting with a sewer problem and assured her that the property would not be built on because of the sewer situation. We are getting conflicting information -- from the City. The concern is that the water would affect the pond and homeowners. Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Haukaas if he was aware of any sewer issues relating to this property. Mr. Haukaas stated that he did not know of any sewer issues. The reason the supervisor went out there is due to a request by residents to verify that everything was working properly. He was giving his opinion about the lot being buildable. Councilmember Billings stated that combining lots is an administrative action on the part of the City and County. Separating lots requires affirmative action by the Couricil. If a home gets built here, someone cannot go to staff and say that they want to split a lot without affirmative Council action. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 2001 PAGE 12 Mr. David Blank, 5544 East Danube Road, asked when the permits to build would be issued. Mayor Lund stated that there would not be a meeting for that. Mr. Harstad has met requirements for building on that lot and this action is totally separate from that. Mr. Blank stated that the lots are so shallow and his house is about 100 feet long and ten feet wide. It is the wrong house in the wrong place and is not going to do anything far the street. Mayor Lund stated that Mr. Harstad has to follow the building codes. Mr. Blank stated that it is the City's responsibility to protect their homes and their values. Councilmember Billings stated that the legislature gives the City the right to establish where lots are and there are building codes. There are drainage requirements and requirements by the City Council. The City has the same responsibility to every property owner. If Mr. Harstad meets these requirements, the City cannot unilaterally decide that he cannot build. The neighborhood coulc� buy it and own it and control what happens to it. Ms. Freeburg stated that the property was tax forfeit and the people tried to buy it but the City would not let them. Councilmember Billings stated that if that were the case, the City probably would not have sold it. There are so many years property can be in arrears in taxes and the County handles that. If there is damage to homes, litigation is an option. The hydrologist said that the water would not rise any more than 1/4 inch and Farr Lake not more than 1/50 inch. It has been determined by the Rice Creek Watershed District that this report is accurate. Mr. Schroeder asked why when they have less waterfall does the water rise so much? Councilmember Billings stated that the hydrology report states that based on the square feet of the home to be built, it will impact the water levels by a 1/4 inch more. Mr. Schroeder asked if the ma�cimum allowable area to be built on is based on the platted lot dimensions. Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that the combination of lots would allow the lot area to be used in 25 percent of that lot area. Mr. Schroeder asked what the zoning was for mother-in-law apartments. Mr. Hickok stated that this lot is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. When the plans come in for review, anything other than single family will not be permitted in this district. There is a review that takes place after the permit is issued. The ordinances do not allow a secondary apartment in a single-family structure. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 2001 PAGE 13 Mr. Zownirowycz stated that strong constraints should be put on Mr. Harstad not to allow him to do that. It is outrageous for him to combine the lots and change the look of the entire neighborhood. It is not effective government control. He has concerns of the safety of the curb and it is a shortcut from one high school to another high school. It is hard to see very far down that road. One of his children has ADHD and it is surprising that Mr. Harstad would not be concerned for the safety issues. In 1987 they backfilled that lot, and in 1998 he had his first basement flooding problem. The Harstads said they would not build on that property. Mr. Hickok stated that he does plan to have a crawl space which conforms to the code. Ms. Freeburg stated that in 1994 someone wanted to add an addition to the front of their house but it did not fit with any other houses on the lots. They did not get permission to do it and perhaps the law has changed since then. People buy in this area because it is rustic and this house will have four garage doors facing the street making it look like a townhouse from the back. She asked what the neighborhood's recourse was when Mr. Harstad turns it into a multi- dwelling house. Mr. Breitbarth stated that moving the easement would benefit the builder of this lot to allow five more feet to build a wider house. Ms. Ulrich stated that there are a number of neighbors who had water in their basements. She asked if Council would consider doing another hydrologist test. Councilmember Wolfe stated that he believed one had already been done. Mr. Hickok stated that a second analysis was completed, and there should not be any reason for a third analysis. Mr. Haukaas stated that staff reviewed Mr. Harstad's hydrologist study and the City's analysis is not as detailed. The City did some analysis and there was no significant difference from Mr. Harstad's. Ms. Ulrich asked if a significant study could be done at this time. Mr. Haukaas stated that the second study was an in-house review. Councilmember Wolfe stated that he thought the neighborhood wants different soil boring tests taken. Mr. Haukaas stated that soil borings and the hydrology review are two separate things. Storm water calculations do not take into account water levels. It is a comparative analysis. Councilmember Bolkcom asked what it would cost if the neighborhood or the City were to request another similar hydrologist study. Mr. Haukaas stated that he would guess it would be around $150 per hour. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 2001 PAGE 14 Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the neighborhood could benefit by having a conversation with the Rice Creek's Watershed engineers or NIr. Harstad's hydrologist? Mr. Haukaas stated that because of the size of this project, the Rice Creek Watershed District normally does not get involved in these analyses. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that possibly they could address the concerns and it would not hurt to ask. Mr. Haukaas stated that they could possibly look at this. Mr. Hickok stated that the Rice Creek Watershed District was involved in the study in 1995 and at this point the Council could ask them to have more soil tests done. Ms. Ulrich stated that it is atypical and new to her to have to come back again and again on the same issue to try and not have this built on a lot that appears to be non-buildable. Ms. Janet Steppe, 5528 West Danube Road, stated that she is concerned because her backyard is near the pond. She was not aware that the dumping had occurred. Her backyard is very saturated. She asked if the pond could be dug out to offset all the water. Councilmember Billings stated that the water would spread out to fill a certain level no matter how big it is. There is a pipe that drains the pond on the east side over to Farr Lake. Even if you make it deeper it will still fill up to the point that it needs to be for the drain. Ms. S�eppe stated that her house has never flooded. Mr. Harstad, 2197 Silver Lake Road, New Brighton, stated that he is a seasoned developer. He has been doing nothing but residential construction for over 20 years. He has worked with Mr. Hickok before on a project in Apple Valley. He and his father have had development projects in Fridley. He said he lives in Fridley and would like to continue to live in Fridley. He indicated that he would like to clarify some things that have been said at this meeting. He said he designed this house and has every intention of living in it. He indicated that he did not have to request to move the easement to build this particular house. The illegal filling was not illegal. There has been illegal dumping on this lot and they do not know who did it. It was on top of dry soil, not in the water. The Harstad reputation is something to be proud of and this development was not a Harstad development. There was never a house presented to be built on either of these lots that was turned down. There was a request for additional filling in Lot 6 that was turned down. The lot does not need more filling but they would likely haul in black dirt. He said his family owned these two lots for many years and he is now ready to use the lot. He invited the neighbors to have this conversation. He would be proud to live and work in the City. He thanked everyone for listening, and apologized for taking up so much time. Councilmember Billings asked if the soil borings were taken on top of the mounds so as not to go down as far? Were they taken close to where the footprint of the building is expected to be? FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 2001 PAGE 15 Mr. Harstad stated that was correct. Councilmember Billings asked if he had a response to the statement that the lots were marked on the plat as unbuildable. Mr. Harstad stated that both of those lots have sewer and water stubs. When it was platted, it was legal to fill in this particular place. Mayor Lund stated that the Wetlands Act of 1991 states that you should not fill in. Councilmember Billings stated in 1994 there was a request to fill in Lot 6. The neighborhood and staff had concerns about preserving as much of the wetland area as possible. That is why in the final agreement, it indicated that the two lots had to be combined to assure in perpetuity that that no one would come in years later and want to fill in Lot 6. Mr. Harstad stated that the house he proposed does not even cross the 25 percent maximum allov�able space for the home to be built on. Councilmember Barnette asked if he requested that the easement be removed. Mr. Harstad stated that he requested it. It was a surprise to him tonight that the lots should be combined. He wanted to thank Councilmember Billings for adding clarification to that. He thought he applied for that request. Councilmember Billings stated that once he applies for the lots to be combined, it is an administrative thing. It is routine in an effort to make it less complicated. Separating them requires an affirmative action of the Council. He wants to vote tonight to approve this easement tonight, but on the other hand he is tempted to vote against it so he does not send a wrong message to the neighborhood. He asked if Mr. Harstad would consider a stipulation on the vacation and rededication that there would be no building built on the vacated portion of the easement unti12005. Mr. Haxstad stated that he would not because in order to build the house five feet to the south, he would need more side yard between the house and the lot. He does benefit from moving of this easement because it gives him five more feet away from the neighbor to the north. Councilmember Billings stated that the lot is approximately 106 feet across and asked if Mr. Harstad was going to build a 76-foot wide house. Mr. Hickok stated that the house has a footprint of 2,100 square feet and the lot size is 13,000 � square feet. That represents lot coverage at 16 percent. Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Harstad if he would be willing to have a representative from the neighborhood meet with himself and his hydrologist to better understand what all those numbers mean. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 2001 _ PAGE 16 Mr. Harstad stated that he is not willing to spend any more money. He has already done goodwill steps to try to make everything clear. He would extend access to those lots for a look from any other hydrologist. He is not opposed to accepting an offer he cannot refuse for the purchase of the lot. This particular hydrologist that he previously hired may even meet with the neighborhood off the meter. Councilmember Wolfe stated that he listened to the neighbors and they have legitimate concerns, but sometimes it is necessary to vote for a law that we do not necessarily agree with. The law is the law. 0 Mr. Knaak City Attorney, stated that was conect and it has nothing to do with whether or not he can build there. It could have impact on the location of the house. MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to adopt Resolution No. 27-2001 to vacate a 5 foot portion of an existing utility easement and then re-create a 20-foot utility easement on Lots 5& 6, Block 2, Innsbruck North 2"d Addition, generally located at 5490 East Danube with the stipulation that the petitioner shall not construct any building or other permanent improvements over the easement area. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Councilmember Wolfe stated that as far as building expectations, Staff does not let anything slide by that cannot be built. C;ouncilmember Billings thanke� everyone for attending the meeting and airing their concerns. He wished there were a better solution. Mayor Lund asked what would happen neYt. Mr. Hickok stated that Mr. Harstad could apply for a building permit anytime now. 10.5 APPOINTMENT-CITY EMPLOYEE: MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to approve the appointment of Greg Tirevold as Payroll Technician. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. . 11. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS: Mayor Lund stated that he attended the Islamic Center's neighborhood picnic on Sunday. There was a very large audience there and he was impressed by the nice people and the gracious hospitality. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 2001 PAGE 17 ADJOURN: MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to adjourn the meeting. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MAY 21, 2001, CITY COUNCIL MEETING ADJOURNED AT 10:57 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Signe L. Johnson Recording Secretary � Scott J. Lund Mayor �ITY OF FRIDLEY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 16, 2001 CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Savage called the May 16, 2001, Planning Commission meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. ROLL CALL: Members Present: Diane Savage, Barbara Johns, Dave Kondrick, Leroy Oquist, Larry Kuechle Members Absent: Connie Modig, Dean Saba Others Present: Paul Bolin, Planning Coordinator Kelly Koenig, Daktronics, Inc. � Wayne Dahl, North Metro Spinecare Specialists, PA APPROVE THE MAY 2 2001 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES: MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to approve the May 2, 2001, Planning Commission meeting minutes as presented. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 1. PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration of a Zoning Text Amendment, ZTA #01-01, by Daktronics, Inc., Wayne Dahl, to remove Section 214.07.1 B of the City Sign Code, regarding automatic changeable signs, which states, "the message shall not change more than once every fifteen (15) minutes except for a sign displaying time, temperature and/or date". MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to open the public hearing. --- — UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:32 P.M. Mr. Bolin stated that the petitioner, Daktronics, Inc., is seeking to change the Zoning Text of the Fridley Sign Code to allow automatic changeable signs displaying more than time, terriperature, and date to change messages more than once every 15 minutes for all commercial and industrial districts. Staff recommends denial of this zoning text amendment. The petitioner has failed to provide any reasoning to justify this change to the sign code, and there does not appear to be community wide support for this text amendment. The quick changing messages seen on electronic reader boards in other communities may be detrimental to the public safety. It is not uncommon for a driver's eyes to be drawn to the changing messages on the these signs. Appeals Commission and City Council have denied requests for variances to this code section (as recently as February 2001). 1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 16, 2001 PAGE 2 Mr. Bolin stated that the petitioner is a manufacturer of electronic signs. The Fridley Sign Code states in Section 214.07.1 B: "The message shall not change more than once every fifteen minutes except for a sign displaying time, temperature and/or date". The Fridley Sign Code has undergone minor modifications since the last major revision of the Code in 1976. During the last major revision, a committee consisting of City officials, sign company representatives and the local Chamber of Commerce worked as a team to deve�op an effective sign code. The committee that carried out this major revision developed an ordinance that has been so effective, that only minor changes to correct "typo's" or to clarify points have been made over the past 25 years. The section of the code, which the petitioner is proposing the City delete, was reviewed in 1984 and 1988 when minor changes were made to the sign ordinance. The petitioner has failed to provide any reasoning or supporting materials to justify this proposed change to the sign code. The petitioner's supplement to the City's application sheet simply states: "Petitioner requests that paragraph B under code 214.07 be eliminated." Mr. Bolin stated this request did not come to the City through the Chamber of Commerce or any other collection of businesses. Daktronics, Inc. is the official petitioner listed on the application sheet; however, Dr. Wayne Dahl is a co-petitioner. The Appeals Commission and City Council both u�animously denied this same petitioner's variance request to this code section in February due to the concerns about safety and visual clutter. The quick changing messages seen on electronic reader boards in other communities may be detrimental to the public safety. It is not uncommon for a driver's eyes to be drawn to the changing messages on these signs. If a portion of the message is not caught by the driver, often they will be trying to catch the remainder of the message in their rear view mirror as they drive past the message center. This is a threat to public safety. Mr. Kuechle asked if there were any state codes as to what can be permissible for changeable readerboard signs or City codes. Mr. Bolin stated that the State leaves the sign code up to the local municipalities. It is staffs discretion to be as permissive as they want regarding these signs. Most communities do not have a time requirement on its boards, yet some cities do not allow those signs at all. Staff has had positive comments regarding the sign code in general. People feel the size limits are very generous and, other than this petitioner, there have not been many complaints on the sign code. The petitioner, Kelly Koenig of Daktronics, Inc., stated that Dr. Dahl is not the only individual who has requested an electronic sign change. Based on the way the code is written, businesses have chosen not to purchase electronic signs. Modern society demands information these days. Without signs people would not know which way to go, there is a need for signage. People shop from their cars nowadays more than they ever have. These types of electronic signs are used widely. These signs are more of an ally with government and transportation. Construction signs alert drivers with more than one message. What makes Fridley different than the other 3,000,000 communities in the country that do allow them? Technology changes along with the other things in life that change. They did not approach the Chamber of Commerce, but their intent was to see how the majority of business owners felt about this issue. They have a valid concern among the business owners with this survey that was circulated for them to sign if they agreed with the changing of the code. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to accept the Petition for Fridley Change of Text Amendment. Z PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 16, 2001 PAGE 3 UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Koenig stated that he had a memoraRdum from the Department of Transportation adopted in 1996 regarding the changeable message signs. It states "Changeable message signs are acceptable for off premise signs regardless of the type of technology used. If the interpretation of the state/federal agreement allows such types of signs, because of the increased use of changeable message signs, we believe it is timely to restate our position concerning these signs." MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Ms. Johns, to accept the memorandum. UPON �4 VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Koenig stated that if signs are not a public safety issue, he trains people that operate the signs in the most effective manner. A continuously traveling message would not be most effective. If a sign is not programmed well, the business will suffer. There is not a lot of documentation stating that these types of signs cause accidents. It is merely speculation that the signs cause accidents. They would like to take these findings to the Chamber of Commerce and ask for its support. The section in the International Zoning Code book is open to interpretation, which was used in writing the Fridley sign code. It is open to amendments. Mr. Kuechle asked where the problem is when the City allows a change every fifteen minutes. How many lines is a driver able to read at a typical speed on Highway 65 or University Avenue? If a sign is in the process of moving, it may be even harder to read. Mr. Koenig stated that you can read a word from about 50 feet away. You may have a message on the sign you can read from an acceptable distance away with a character height of at least 20 inches tall. Allowable square footage of sign does not accommodate what would be considered a complete thought. They define message as a complete thought which may take multiple frames to accomplish. The ability to change the words rapidly in less than fifteen minutes means only five to ten seconds of viewing time, from the furthest distance that you see the signs to the time you passed it. The message requiring multiple frames to get the word across makes it possible to live with fifteen minutes. Traveling messages are not a mode of communication, but should be allowed to change more than once every fifteen minutes. If you have seven words on your display, you have about five to seven seconds to read that depending on the distance. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 7:49 P.M. Mr. Oquist stated that he was on the Planning Commission when that ordinance was passed. The City does allow movable signs; it is just the timing factor. They are to display a message out there and the Sign Code as written is good and he would be against that change. Mr. Kuechle concurred. The case is not made strongly enough that it would be beneficial to a very large number of people other than the people who want to sell the signs. �3 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 16, 2001 PAGE 4 Ms. Savage also agreed. When she was on the Appeals Commission, one of her concems with the variance request for signs was that they are a visual pollutant, and she would like to get rid of all the billboards and limit signs only to let people know where the businesses are. She is very proud of the Fridley sign ordinance and if there is a special need for such a sign, they can be presented as a variance request or special use request. This would be opening up the door to many signs that would add to the visual pollution, and she is opposed to any change. Mr. Kondrick stated that he was also on the Planning Commission when this was brought up before. He has not changed his mind since then. He believed the Sign Code they have functions well. Changing the code would mean visual pollution, and it is a danger to have messages like that. Ms. Joh�s stated that it is a safety issue and she favors the fifteen minute time lapse. People go a lot faster than 45 miles per hour on University to give them more time to read it. If they change this, she can see all sorts of signs popping up. This would be hindrance to drivers and people should be paying more attention to the roads, rather than what is on the side of the road. MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to recommend denial ZTA #01-01. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

Joh on � Recording Secretary 5 / AGENDA ITEM � CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF June 4, 2001 UfY OF FRIDLEY Date: May 30, 2001 � J A�rd� To: William Burns, City Manager ��Y From: Julie Jones, Environmental Planner - Jack Kirk, Park and Recreation Director Subject: Moore Lake Shoreline Buffer Strip Proposal Backgroand The City of Fridley has been approached by the Association of Metropolitan Soil Conservation Districts about completing a lake buffer strip demonstration project on the southern shore of East Moore Lake. They are interested in this location because it is visible along Highway 65. They are actually so interested in this location that they are waiving a 50% match requirement and offering $3,000 in grant funding to make the project attractive to the City of Fridley. Creating a buffer strip involves removing comman turf along the shoreline and replacing it with native plantings that have deep root systems which help absorb pollutants as well as prevent soil erosion. He explained how buffer strips are an effective means to improve lake water quality. They also help keep geese populations out of the area, whose presence also diminishes water quality. The location where they are proposing to replace the turf grass with a mix of native shoreline plants is along the southern edge of East Moore Lake in the area of the retaining wall, circled on the attached map. This area is very close to Old Central Avenue. The strip would only be about 6-10' wide in the area between the retaining wall and the water's edge: The length of the buffer strip is expected to be 386 feet, the length of the retaining wall. This is roughly 3,860 square feet, which would be roughly 1,750 plants spaced 18 inches apart. In order to get the grant funds, the City would need to enter into an agreement with the agency. In that agreement, the City would commit to maintaining the 386' long buffer strip once it is planted. Possible maintenance would involve initial watering if weather conditions warrant, mowing down weeds twice the first two growing seasons, and hand-weeding unwanted plants or conducting a controlled burn of the area once every three years. This maintenance would need to be conducted by Fridley's Park Maintenance staff or be contracted out. The City would need to repay the grant funds if the buffer strip is removed within a ten-year time frame. Both the Park and Recreation Commission and the Environmental Quality and Energy Commission have received a presentation about the lake buffer strip proposal. Staff has met twice to discuss the implications of this proposed project. We agree that it will be most critical that the project be thoroughly communicated to the public. Julie Jones, Environmental Planner will work closely with the ACD on public education efforts, including written articles for the City newsletter, a sign to be posted at the site, and a�cial cable television program. Julie can also serve as the key person to field complaints. Information we have obtained from the Head of the City of Minneapolis' Park Maintenance Division indicates that there is less maintenance involved in maintaining these natural buffer strips than with standard mowed turf. However, litter clean up, which is a problem due to close proximity to the highway, will be more cumbersome in the taller plant material. Litter will need to be collected by hand rather than by machine. The City staff would attempt to use community service personnel to conduct needed litter clean ups, however, if crews are not available when needed, additional staff resources may be required. The other downside of the proposal is that the area selected for the pilot project is probably not a large enough azea to have any positive impacts on water quality. However, if the City should decide to expand it in the future, it will likely positively impact the quality of Moore Lake's water. The Community Development staff has also consrEiered this proposal in terms of the City's weed ordinance. Staff does not see a conflict with allowing the lake buffer strip in this instance because we do have other locations in the City of Fridley where we have allowed intentionally-planted, natural landscape areas to exceed the 10-inch height rule as long as they are maintained for environmental purposes. However, if this buffer strip concept is one that it going to be promoted by the City, we feel that w.e should consider amending the ordinance language to clearly allow it. Recommendation The Park and Recreation Commission voted unanimously in favor of pursuing the buffer strip funds for Moore Lake. They also indicated interest in pursuing grant funds in future years to expand the buffer strip concept to other shoreline areas around East Moore Lake. They did recognize a concern that this area of Moore Lake is a highly visible area of the community and that we will likely receive complaints from individuals that are uneducated about the intended benefits of the project. The Environmental Quality and Energy Commission receivzd a presentation on the Moore Lake buffer strip proposal at their May meeting and also passed a motion recommending the project. Since there is scientific evidence that shoreline buffer strips improve water quality, and this proposal will cost the City nothing in cash outlay, staff recommends that we accept the Association of Metropolitan Soil Conservation District's request to install a shoreline buffer strip on East Moore Lake. Staff furtfier recommends that the City Council approve the attacfied-Shoreline Habitat Agreement, authorizing the City Manager to execute it.

This project is intended to demonstrate to private landowners methods of sustainable shoreline management. Through this Agreement, landowners will permit the ACD and Cooperators to undertake certain shoreline habitat restoration activities. This Agreement covers lands in T. 30, R24, Sec. 24, adjacent and within the following watercourse: East Moore Lake; as specified in the project proposal. The term of this Agreement shall be ten (10) years, from August 15, 2001 to August 15, 2011. The Landowner agrees �o the terms of installation and maintenance and is responsible for the maintenance of the project for a period of ten (10) years to ensure that the conservation objective of this practice is met. The ACD assumes no liability for injury or damage, other than that caused by it's own negligence, in the project area. The ACD assumes no jurisdiction over the project area for purposes of controlling noxious weeds or other incidents of -- — ownership. This Agreement may be amended by mutual consent of the ACD and Landowner. The Landowner agrees to reimburse the ACD for the entire $3,000 cost of the project in the case of early termination of this Agreement. The ACD shall have no obligation to restore the land to its original condition upon expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Since we would have to start preparing to begin the request for proposal process this fall, we suggested that they submit a proposal this spring to allow us plenty of time to consider it. Our existing contract with BFI is due to expire March 31, 2002. Two months ago, BFI submitted the attached proposal to extend our existing contract another three years. The rates proposed reflect a 4.8% increase in the current single-family rate of $2.08 per month and a 6.5% increase in the current multi-family rate of $1.40 per month over the three-year term of the extension. BFI has not had a rate increase since they began their existing contract in March 1999. Service provided by BFI has been excellent. They have had very few reported missed collections or equipment breakdowns. They have filed their recycling reports in a timely manner and have been responsive to any concerns brought before them. BFI has also been very willing to do extra things for Fridley at no extra cost like conduct the canned food drive and run a recycling truck in the 49ers Day parade. Staff has investigated contracted recycling fees at the few communities that are similar in development and also have a similar waste management system to Fridley. For those few cities that do, BFI's proposed fees are in line with the costs those other cities are paying currently. Staff has incorporated BFI's proposed price increase into the proposed 2002 Solid Waste Abatement Program (SWAP) budget. The increased curbside collection costs will cause the budget expenses to run about $10,000 over expected revenues, however. This causes a need to either subsidize the SWAP fund from the General Fund or increase the fees residents pay on City utility bills for recycling services. These fees were last increased to $5.50 per quarter in January 1997, when we started weekly recycling collections. Since staff is currently drafting a complete rewrite of the code section addressing fees for the Council's consideration later this year, now is a good time to debate a fee increase. 10 Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached agreement amendment that would extend the term of the city's contract with BFI's another three years with the noted annual price increases. Staff further recommends that the City Manager be authorized to execute the contract amendment. The increased fees reflect less than a 1% increase per year over six years during a time when fuel prices have greatly increased. There are some new recycling collection methods being tested by other communities in the Metro area this year that may have future impacts on how recycling is collected. These changes are likely more than three years away from being widely available, however, so we should be able to complete another three year agreement with BFI without any needed changes. A SWAP fee increase needs to be discussed during the upcoming review of Section 113 of City Code if the City wants to fully fund our recycling programs without subsidy from the General Fund.

Skogen, City Clerk Date: May 24, 2001 Re: - Public Hearing of Proposed Charter Amendment on Chapter 6 and 8 of the Fridley Charter Pertaining to Contracts, Public Improvements and Special Assessments The Fridley Charter Commission began reviewing Chapter 81ast spring to see if any changes were necessary to update the language. They requested information from John Flora, the former Public Works Director and the Minnesota State Legislature had passed a new law changing the dollar amount required for the competitive bid process. The state law was changed from a$25,000 threshold to $50,000, and the Fridley Charter is currently $10,000. During this legislative session, the special assessment threshold was also changed to $50,000. Upon reviewing the recommendations of Mr. Flora and the new state laws, the Charter Commission moved to amend the City Charter and drafted an ordinance, as shown in Attachment 1. The ordinance was reviewed by Charter Commission Attorney Elizabeth Moore, who said the ordinance was appropriate and advisable. A public hearing was scheduled for June 4, 2001, and the Notice of -- - Hearing was published in the Fridley Focus, on May 24, 2001, as shown in Attachment 2.

Burns, City Manager :� ( � Jon �- .I Haukaas, Public Works Director May 30, 2001 Stop Sign Petition for 48`� Ave and 21h Street PWOl-049 We have received a petition from the area residents requesting a 4 way stop at the intersection of 48"' Ave and 21h Street. 20 of the 30 properties on 21/z Street between 49�' Ave and 47`h Ave have signed in support of the installation. There is c�arrently only Yield signs installed for north-south traffic on 21h Street. The Neighborhood Resource Officer for the area reports that there has only been one accident at this location, but that occurred within the last 6 months to a year. However in talking with the residents of the area, there are near misses and unreported accidents on a regular basis. Stop signs are not an effective speed control device. On straight, through streets they can have the opposite effect in that drivers tend to quickly accelerate from these intersections to "make up lost time". This intersection does not meet any warrants for the installation of stop signs. If the Council desires to approve the neighborhood request, signs can be installed in two days from that directive. The delay is required to comply with the Gopher State One Call legislation and obtain utility locates. Two 4"-6" diameter trees at the westbound approach to 21/z Street at 48`h Ave will have to be removed for the signs to be visible. One of the residents at this corner thought a 2-way stop was what was being petitioned for and felt that this would be sufficient. This intersection can be made a 2-way stop immediately by replacing the north-south Yield signs with Stop signs on the existing posts. No additional tree trimming would be necessary.
