Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that this relates to changes in Chapter 6 and Chapter 8. The only substantive change that actually is applied would raise the amount required for the formal competitive bidding process from $10,000 to $50,000, so the Charter can be updated to match the new State statute. Minor wording changes serve to actually update the City Charter and they aze not substantive in nature. �� Councilmember Billings stated that in Section 8.04, Local Improvement Regulations, substantial changes are being made. If we do not have a majority petition, under the current Charter language, it would require a full 5 affirmative votes by the City Council to go ahead with the assessment. The recommendation with the Charter Commission is to change that to 4/5 vote. He stated that he thought it was a very substantial change, and wondered how the Charter Commission felt about that change. Mr. Pribyl stated that he was not versed on what the particular background was on making that change. He could find out from the Charter Commission Chair. Councilmember Billings stated that he does not have a problem with bringing the Charter into conformity with the current State statute, but he is concerned because it could impact the residents of the City. Relative to increasing the dollar amounts to conform, does the City Councii always set policy to- require approval on items that are less than wl�at -the Charter calls for? Should the Council adopt a policy wherein the City Manager is required not to bring anything to the Council less than the $50,000 amount? Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that is correct and establishing different policies with respect to bidding practices is possible too. The State statutes impose general restrictions but bids could be required on all contracts. Councilmember the outside limi tightly.

TO CREATE A FOUR-WAY STOP AT THE INTERSECTION OF 48 AVENUE AND 2 1J2 Si'REET N.�.: Councilmember Bolkcom stated that this petition was circulated by Brian Maertens requesting that stop signs be placed at 48th and 2 1/2 Street. The majority of neighborhood residents who signed this are concerned because there is a park on Main Street and many of the children walk to the park. People do not stop on that street and there have been many near misses. The City has followed a policy i� the past wherein if a majority of the neighborhood favors the same location for a stop sign, it may be considered. Some neighboring communities place stop signs when a majority of the neighborhood requests this and some communities hold public hearings/meetings for discussion. She said she would like to see this happen. The neighborhood feels that this would not slow people down, but it would make people stop while kids are crossing the street. Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, stated that the petition is from residents between 47�' and 49�' Avenues and 2 1/2 Street. The park is less than a block away. This does not meet design criteria for the installation of stop signs and they are not an effective speed control device. Mayor Lund stated he had a question regarding some owners close to the intersection who have not signed yet. He drove down there and saw kids playing on the street. There is a rise to the street and you cannot see beyond the intersection until you are at the intersection. FItIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 4, 2001 PAGE 9 Councilmember Bolkcom stated that they aze not trying to control speed, they just need people to stop because of the kids crossing there. Mayor Lund stated that he is not against this because it is what the neighborhood wants. Councilmember Wolfe stated that he is all for this. It took seven years for his neighborhood to have a stop sign installed.

JUNE 6. 2001 CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Savage called the June 6, 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 Stacy Bulthuis, Planner Bobby and Cathryn Taylor, 401 Ironton St. - Karen Marty, 5601 Minnesota Dr, Suite 880, Bloomington, MN, 55435 Scott and Marie St. Arnold, 350 Ironton St Rick Wolfe, 960 Hathaway Lane Harriet and Jim Skarie, 3504 Larchwood Dr, Minnetonka, MN, 55345 APPROVE THE MAY 16 2001 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES' MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to approve the May 16, 2001, Planning Commission meeting minutes as presented. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration of a Special Use Permit, SP #01-05, by Richard and Laura Wolfe, for a second accessory structure (garage), generally located at 960 Hathaway Lane. MOTION by Ms. Johns, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, 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. Ms. Bulthuis stated that the petitioners are requesting a special use permit to construct a 600 square foot accessory building. The Code requires a special use permit to allow an accessory building other than the first accessory bui�ding over 240 square feet. The Code also requires that the total square footage of an accessory structure not exceed 1,400 square feet. The total square footage of existing and proposed accessory structures on this site would be 1,040 square feet. The proposed location of the garage is in the rear yard of the residence. Staff recommends approval with stipulations. Ms. Savage asked if any calls were received regarding this request. Ms. Bulthuis stated, no. 1 __- PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 6, 2001 PAGE 2 Mr. Rick Wolfe, petitioner, stated that the same color of the house is not stocked anymore, but he has found a similar compatible color that is almost exact, but slightly darker. Ms. Johns asked if the proposed garage would go right on top of the slab shown on the picture or further back. Mr. Wolfe stated that it would go right on top of it. His back yard is very long so it does not infringe on any easements. There is plenty of room. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, 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 7:36 P.M. Mr. Kondrick stated that he did not have any problem with this request. Ms. Johns stated she did not either. Mr. V1Folfe stated this was an easy process. Is there ever a chance the Planning Commission could give the knowledgeable City staff the power over these decisions that are pretty routine and simple? Ms. Savage stated that the whole structure provided by Statute or ordinance would have to be changed. Mr. Bolin stated that a second accessory building over 240 square feet by zoning code is required to go through a special use permit process. The cases whe�e the second garage would not fit due to lot size or surrounding uses gives the City discretion to place additional stipulations to make the garage more compatible. A majority of the structures do make sense, but there are a few cases with problems like putting in a second driveway. This way the stipulations can be put on there. It is possible to change the zoning code to take the second accessory structures out of the uses allowed with a special use permit and make them a permitted use with conditions that need to be met. The City Council would have to take the initiative to instruct staff to change that portion of the zoning code. Ms. Johns stated that it is also good for the neighbors to be able to come in and give their opinion on these requests. MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to approve SP #01-05 with the following stipulations: 1. The petitioner shall install Code required hard surface driveway within 12 months of issuance of the building permit. 2. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary building permits prior to construction. 3. The structure shall not be used for a home occupation or living area. 4. All vehicles shall be stored on a hard surface as approved by the City. 5. The total square footage of all accessory structures must not exceed 1,400 square feet. 6. The garage shall be architecturally compatible with existing home and finished with a complementary siding and color scheme. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 2 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 6, 2001 PAGE 3 Ms. Savage stated that this matter goes to City Council on June 18. 2. PUBUC HEARING: Consideration of a Vacation, SAV #01-05, by Harriet Skarie, to vacate a portion of Third Street, generally located at 5451 5th Street. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Johns, 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 7:37 P.M. Ms. Bulthuis stated that the petitioner is seeking to vacate a portion of 3`d Street which is adjacent to 5'h Street and north of the apartments at 5451 5`� Street. This portion of street is an unimprDVed right-of-way and is not used by the general public. A vacation request to vacate the same portion of street was submitted in 1972. At that time, City Public Works staff did not recommend vacating it in case it was ever utilized again. Since that time, all connections to that street have been vacated and there is no longer a reason to keep the entire right-of-way. The proposed vacation is south of I-694 and, if granted, the petitioner would gain the 29 ft. x 302 ft. piece of land, correcting a nonconformity for the 5-foot setback needed for the existing garages. There are no underground utilities, and the northerly five feet of this property shall be dedicated to the City as an easement. There is a water main north of the property, and this easement is needed for access purposes. Staff recommends approval. Ms. Savage asked if any calls have been received. Ms. Bulthuis stated she has not received any. Ms. Skarie, petitioner, stated she is in a family partnership in ownership of this property. She has concern about the second stipulation referring to the cell tower. They had negotiated to place the cell tower back from the garage, because they would lose parking spaces. The cars park along the whole strip by the grass right now; and if the cell tower came in, it would take that grassy area. The area by 3`d Street tends to be a place where kids come back and play with dirt bikes and some people actually throw washers and dryers back there. They are thinking of putting in chain link fencing to discourage the dumping and graffiti on the garages. In constructing the cell tower, the equipment used may destroy part of the parking space. Mr. Bolin stated this stipulation came from the Planning and Public Works staff. The petitioners are required to have a paved driveway to the cell tower for maintenance purposes. The City does not like to see any more hard surFace area than necessary in Fridley. There is a paved drive there already. There would be less impervious surface utilizing what is already there. There are concerns with plowing snow around the corner and the plows would be constantly blocking the access drive into the cell tower site. Mr. Kuechle asked if the property owners would lease the site for the cell tower? Mr. Bolin stated this site is an approved cell tower site identified by the City in 1997. Mr. Kuechle asked Ms. Skarie if she had the prerogative of not letting the cell tower there. Ms. Skarie stated, yes. Mr. Bolin stated that during the construction, the City Engineers probably would not have a problem with equipment going across the grassy portion of 3`d Street. They could come out � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 6, 2001 PAGE 4 once a week or so to work on the cell tower, and staff would rather have them utilize the area you have. Ms. Skarie stated they even thought about asking the City for permission for more parking spots because they are short of spots right now. They are not allowed to park on the street, and it makes it hard in the winter. If they are not going to put a driveway in the back, they may need to take out the grassy area to be used for more parking space. Mr. Bolin stated that Ms. Skarie would need to work with the Engineering staff regarding that. Mr. Kuechle asked where the cell tower driveway is proposed to go through. Mr. Skarie stated that the cell tower would be by the east parking entrance on the north side. Ms. Skarie stated that if this is vacated, half of the property would go to MnDOT and they would get 15 feet of it. Mr. Skarie stated that five feet of it would have to go to the City. Mr. Bolin stated they would need a five-foot easement. If MnDOT holds on to the property, that would probably not be a problem. MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, 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 OPENED AT 7:55 P.M. Mr. Kuechle stated that this is legitimately straightforward and probably will not become a street so they may as well get it maintained. The cell tower driveway is hard to figure out exactly what to do with. Mr. Kondrick stated that he does not know how that would work out either. Mr. Oquist stated that 15 feet were indicated, but it states it is 29.69 feet on the survey map. Mr. Bolin stated they are only getting 15 feet of the 29.69 feet. MnDOT would obtain the other half. Ms. Johns asked if staff indicated that driving on that grassy area would be approved for construction of the cell tower. Mr. Bolin stated that is correct. Mr. Oquist stated there is the problem of cars being parked back there on parking spots for the people to access that area for construction. Mr. Bolin stated that MnDOT would give 15 feet to the petitioner. Mr. Oquist stated that there would be about 30 feet. Mr. Skarie stated that just because MnDOT owns the other half now, to vacate it they have to give them the half and they give it back. �' PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 6, 2001 PAGE 5 Mr. Oquist asked if City Council would have to approve the cell tower going up in that area. Mr. Bolin stated it is a matter of coming in for a building permit which would stipulate that it needs to be built on an asphalt area, a requirement in the zoning code. Mr. Kuechle asked if they left it out entirely, they would still have to put in a hard surface driveway. The only thing is they are taking away the option of expanding the parking lot behind the building and using that as an access to the cell tower. Mr. Bolin stated that the City requires a 25-foot drive aisle for two-way traffic, and it may not be possible to get any parking stalls behind the existing garage. Mr. Kuechle stated that they could put them in line giving them a nine foot width. Mr. Bolin stated that they need to keep it five feet back from the property line; and, even for one- way traffic, they need an 18-foot drive aisle. There is not a possibility for parking behind the garage. MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to recommend approval of SAV #01-05 with the following stipulations 1. A utility easement on the northern 5 feet of this property be dedicated back to the City. 2. Access to a future cell tower needs to be through the existing driveway and parking lot area. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Ms. Savage stated this would go to City Council on June 18. 3. PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration of a Rezoning, ZOA #01-02, by Bobby Taylor, to change a dwelling from single family to a multiple family dwelling, generally located at 401 Ironton Street. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, 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 8:15 P.M. Mr. Bolin stated that the petitioner is requesting a rezoning of this property from R-1, single family, to R-3, multi-family to accommodate the number of units and density with the desire to operate the properry as a rental sober house. The lot was platted in 1966. In 1976, Norma Willson obtained a special use permit, #76-08, which at that time made provisions for a single family residence to be modified to allow a second dwelling unit. That section of City Code was removed shortly after that time. In 1999, the City became aware the property had been converted into three distinct units and two sleeping units in the basement. None of the renovations over the years had been done with any building, electrical permits, or plumbing permits. In September 1999, Ms. Willson was asked to give the tenants notice and have all but the two units that were approved vacated. In November 1999, Ms. Willson applied for an R-3 rezoning. The City inspected the building and found the home in serious disrepair and in non- compliance with building, electrical, and fire codes. The property owner was instructed to vacate all tenants. After inspection, many structural problems and electrical and plumbing problems were reviewed, and Ms. Willson withdrew her rezoning request. In February 2000, City Council revoked the rental license and Ms. Willson failed to meet the requirements by the 5 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 6, 2001 PAGE 6 May deadline. City Council revoked the special use permit that allowed the second dwelling. The property was then reverted back to its original status as a single family dwelling. Mr. Bolin stated that in March 2001, Mr. Taylor, the new owner of the home, contacted the City requesting inspection of the property in order to obtain a �ental license. At that time,.staff inspected the home and informed Mr. Taylor that the property was zoned R-1 for single family use only. When staff inspected the home, it had undergone major remodeling without the benefit of any permits. There were three distinct units with 9-11 people living on this site. Mr. Taylor was informed that he had an illegal rental and must reduce the number of persons living in the home to five in order to comply with the City's R-1 requirements. Mr. Bolin stated that without the benefit of property inspections, staff was unable to determine the soundness of the home, quality of the plumbing work, and safety of the electrical work. In May 20D1, Mr. Taylor submitted this rezoning application. The copy of the inspection sheet states that no permits were pulled on this p�operty from 1977 on with the exception of Ms. Willson pulling finro permits to install egress windows in the basement. Mr. Bolin stated rezoning is discretionary on the part of the City. The consideration of health, safety, and welfare concerns reflect that this is not adequate to allow rriany units. The request fails to meet the criteria the City uses to evaluate a rezoning of property. The first criteria is the compatibility of the use with the comprehensive plan. Nowhere in the plan does the City mention expanding the R-3 zoning into this neighborhood. The granting of this request would be inconsistent with the City's overall vision of the neighborhood. Mr. Bolin stated compatibility with adjacent uses is not appropriate, because this is not allowed by the R-1 zoning standards and could change the character with increased density and increased traffic. Parking would not meet the R-3 requirements, and creating a new parking lot would alter the look and feel of the neighborhood. This request would allow current and future property owners the ability to remove the single family home that currently exists and replace it with a 3 unit apartment building. Mr. Bolin stated compliance of the proposed use with the proposed district requirements is the third criteria. This does not meet the setback requirement for the R-3 zoning. A total of six parking stalls would need to be provided on site. A conversion of this property would require a landscape plan typical for the R-3 district. Mr. Bolin stated staff recommends denial with many concerns of the health, safety, and welfare not properly addressed. Mr. Taylor has not applied for the appropriate permits and this is not in conformance with the comprehensive plan. It would increase neighborhood density beyond the R-1 standards. The creation of a required parking lot would change the residential character of this neighborhood. There are two duplexes to the west of Mr. Taylor's properry zoned R-3, but they are very residential in character. There is a four-plex to the south somewhat residential in character. Ms. Savage asked about the other duplexes. Mr. Bolin stated that they are actually in R-3 zoning. They have been zoned R-3 for a number of years. A duplex is an allowable use in the R-3 district. Ms. Savage asked how that cluster got there. Mr. Bolin stated that it is not uncommon to put some high residential as a buffer befinreen a main thoroughfare and R-1 single family. 0 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 6, 2001 PAGE 7 Ms. Savage asked if he received any call regarding this. Mr. Bolin stated he received six calls from the neighborhood all opposed to this rezoning. Mr. Oquist asked if the stipulation could be added that a va�iance is required if this is approved. The side yard setback is not within the code. � Mr. Bolin stated they could add that. Mr. Kuechle asked if the 1976 special use permit philosophy was known under what venue it was permitted. Mr. Boliq stated that the intent was to allow a mother-in-law type apartment. There were no stipulations placed on that approval other than one rental unit within the home. Mr. Kuechle asked if there were any others like that. Mr. Bolin stated that was the only one he had come across. � The petitioner, Cathryn Taylor, stated they were unaware that this was not a rental. When they brought this property, the realtors informed them it was a duplex, that it would need to be repaired, and then they could apply for rental license. The building has two separate entrances and two separate kitchens. They purchased it in November of 2000. They bought the property for sober housing rental. They had an appraisal done on April 10 where it lists on the title that it is zoned R-2. The appraiser stated she got the information from the City of Fridley. Ms. Taylor stated they didn't find out it was not zoned properly until Mr. Taylor called for an inspection. They have saent quite a bit of money updating thi� house and, had they known it was not zoned properly, they would not have spent this kind of money. They thought they could just fix this place up themselves. The residents living here are working and paying rent. It is a support community for people trying to get on their feet. She and her husband manage the property and check it every night. This is a community service, and they have been commended on their ability to provide this community service. This is not temporary housing, ___and there will not be an influx of different residents. The current residents are very careful and comfortable there. They brought letters of recommendation from former neighbors to explain that they provide a good service. They are willing to do anything the City requests and will cooperate fully. Their personal residence is only one block away. Mr. Kondrick asked how many people they expect to live there. Ms. Taylor stated that they would like thirteen people to be able to reside there paying rent. Mr. Oquist asked what the R-2 zoning was for. Mr. Bolin stated that R-2 is for two family dwellings with up to ten unrelated persons. Mr. Oquist stated this was appraised wrong. Mr. Bolin stated that is correct. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to receive the letters of recommendation submitted by Ms. Taylor. U PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 6, 2001 PAGE 8 -- UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Ms. Karen Marty, attorney representing the Taylors, stated that the history is irrelevant and unrelated to how a normal property should be reviewed for a duplex. Ms. Savage stated that it seemed to her that they wanted to use this for a more than a duplex. Ms. Marty stated they bought it as a duplex and, in remodeling, they discovered it had more units. They left the rooms in the basement and fixed them up. They will take them down if that is what you desire. The comprehensive plan would be very unusual to include a specific plan for one lot. Usually it is a broad line picture for what you want for the City. This would be an incredible waste of money and public service opportunity to deter the Taylo�'s request. Marie and Scott St. Arnold, 350 Ironton Street, stated this issue is still a very sore spot for them since last year. They both have worked very hard appearing at all meetings regarding this property. At the last Council meeting regarding this, they were assured that this property would never-be anything but a single family property. They have done a Iot of work on their property and would like to keep their value up, too. They have a child and do not need extra traffic or commercial buildings. Mr. St. Arnold stated that the City and the Fire Marshall determined that the subfloor was rotted and needed to be redone to support it. Ms. St. Arnold stated that it is not a matter of only re-sheetrocking it. There was an enormous list of repairs needed. Mr. St. Arnold stated that all the stipulations for rental property state that all the work has to be done by a licensed contractor. Ms. St. Arnold stated that every city requires that work be done by a licensed contractor with valid building permits. Mr. St. Arnold stated that Fridley is pretty strict and he himself had been caught without a permit. Ms. St. Arnold stated that the previous situation with the former owner was awful with garbage, and it was alleged to be a drughouse and flophouse. Ms. Savage stated that it now would only be a sober house and does that have any effect on how she feels about it now. Ms. St. Arnold stated that the children from that house are coming in her yard. It would be different if there were no children. Mr. St. Arnold stated that he understands the need for a sober house being a recovered alcoholic himself. That does put fear into people, though. There is about a 75% chance for relapse. Everybody in the neighborhood was happy when Ms. Willson's permit request was denied as they then hoped someone would buy it only for single family. There are enough rentals around the neighborhood. The kids from the double bungalow are constantly coming in his yard by the creek with no parental guidance. : PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 6, 2001 PAGE 9 Ms. St. Arnold stated there are too many cars in the street which blocks vision when you turn the comers. ' Mr. St. Arnold stated that some vehicles have to park on yards. Ms. St. Arnold stated they were assured that the real estate agents would have to sell it as a single family home. Ms. Johns stated that in March when the City went for an inspection, there were 11 people living there. Did you notice any differences during that time that you did not like? Ms. St. Arnold stated that there were a lot of extra vehicles but not a lot of extra children in the neighborhood. Mr. St. Arnold stated there is a bunch of old concrete sitting by that house right now and how long is it going to sit there. Ms. Marty stated that there would be no children living at this house. It is for single women only. There are onfy a total of three vehicles at this site. The garbage by the f�ouse is supposed to be picked up and removed, but the Taylors stopped doing anything after they were told of this hearing. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to close the pubtic hearing UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 8:50 P.M. Mr. Kuechle stated that the rezoning to R-3 would have some possibilities. There are R-3 prope�ties on each side, but he could not vote for a rezoning without a complete plan of how the property is going to be brought into compliance. He would vote against an approval; and if he were to consider a proposal, he would require a performance bond because of the history of problems. There is a lack of any kind of formal plans of how this property might be brought up to the kind of standards that the neighbors would be comfortable with. Ms. Johns stated that she was part of this committee when Ms. Willson was applying for the license and was amazed at the things that happened in that home and the structural problems. It is nice to see the improvements; but without the permits, it is hard to know if it is structurally sound. She did not think the R-3 zoning would be the best for the neighborhood. Applying for this permit is bringing up the unresolved issues and they need to be resolved before this is brought here again. A timeline would be good because of what happened in the past and the neighborhood is still very sore. She would vote "no" because it is too early without taking the steps prior to holding the public meeting for this request. Mr. Kondrick stated he agreed with Mr. Kuechle exactly. If the sober thing does not work out, what prevents the owners from renting it out to 15 other people with 15 cars. He is not comfortable with this. The owners claim ignorance, but spending $50,000 would not have happened without some kind of plan. He would vote against the rezoning request. Ms. Savage stated that the sober house plan is commendable and it sounds like the people living there would not cause a problem; however, this is the wrong place for this and it is too bad the Taylors did not realize that in the beginning. As a Commission, they have to look at the best interest of the City of Fridley and this property in the future when the Taylors sell it and an apartment building could go up. She would have to vote "no". 0 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 6, 2001 PAGE 10 Mr. Oquist stated he concurs with the other Commission members. It is commendable to have a sober house now; but if that does not work out, it could turn into a three-unit apartment. He likes Mr. Kuechle's idea of the performance bond and a real plan with timelines. He would go with denial. MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to recommend denial of ZOA #01-02. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Ms. Savage stated that this goes to City Council on June 18. Mr. Oquist stated that he would suggest that the duplexes in the neighborhood could also be cleaned up. Ms. Bulthuis stated that letters have been sent to them already about parking on the grass and outdoor storage issues. One of the residents across the street from 401_ Ironton had three vehicles parked on the grass. Staff is trying to get the neighborhood cleaned up. Mr. Oquist asked if one of the owners lived in the duplexes. Ms. Bulthuis stated staff is not sure. If no results are seen, they will try to contact the owner. 4.

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At the June 6, 2001, Planning Commission meeting, a public hearing was held on SAV #01-05. After a brief discussion, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the vacation request, with the stipulations as presented. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOULSY. 17 PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION City staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Planning Commission and approve the resolution for the street vacation request.

SKOGEN - CITY CLERK SCOTT LUND - MAYOR 19 City of Fridley Land Use Application SAV #01-05 May 31, 2001 GENERAL INFORMATION SPECIAL INFORMATION Applicant: Harriet Skarie 3504 Larchwood Drive Minnetonka, NIN 55345 Requested Actions: Vacate a portion of Third Street Existing Zoning. R-2 Two Family Units and R-3 General Multiple Units Location: Portion of third street adjacent to S`� Street, north of the apartments located at 5451 5`h Street. Size of Property: 70,606 square feet 1.62 acres E�cisting Land Use: Multi-family apartment building. Suirounding Land Use & Zoning: N: Interstate 694 E: Billboard & C-2 S: Cemetery & R-3 W: 4-Plex & R-3 Comprehensive Plan Conformance: Use of property is consistent with Plan. Property History: • 1886 — Hamilton's Addition to Mechanicsville is platted. • 1972 — 32-unit apartment building and 16 garages are built. Legal Descriprion of Property: See Attached Survey. Council Action: June 18, 2001 Public Utilities: Apartment building is connected. Transportation: Property is accessed from 5`h Street. ZD Physical Characteristics: Portion of street to be vacated is an unimproved right-of-way generally located north of the properly. SUMMARY OF REQUEST The petitioner is seeking to vacate a portion of Third Street, that is an unimproved right-of-way and is not used by the general public. In seeking ttus vacation, the petitioner would gain compliance with the five-foot setback for the current garages and it would clear the title and bring the property into full compliance. SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS City Staff recommends approval of the street vacation, with stipulations. Due to the following factors: • Street could not be connected through; • No utiliries are located under the street; • Conects an existing non-confomuty with the garage setbacks. (Portion of Third Street to be vacated) Staff Report Prepazed by: Paul Bolin & Stacy Bulthuis SAV #01-05 REQUEST The petitioner, Harriet Skarie is seeking to vacant a portion of 3'� Street also referred to as 55�h Avenue in a survey from 1973, that is currently an unimproved right-of-way and is not used by the general public. HISTORY In 1972 prior to the construction of the apartment building, there was a vacation request submitted by State Land and Development Company to vacate 55`h Avenue between 5cn and �th Streets and the 12-foot alley located in Block 10 befinreen Highway #100 on the north and 54"' Avenue on the south. The vacation was approved for the 12-foot alley between Highway #100 and 54th Avenue, but the request to vacate 55th Avenue was denied. At that time City Public Works staff did not recommend vacating this street in case 55t'' Avenue were to ever be utilized again. Since that time all possi6le connections to this street have been vacated. Current Public Works staff has indicated that there is no longer a reason to keep this entire right-of-way. ANALYSIS The portion of Third Street proposed to be vacated is located directly north of the property located at 5451 5`h Street. If the vacation is granted, the petitioner would gain the 29 ft. by 302 ft. strip of land and would therefore be correcting an existing non-conformity for their existing garages. The street could not be connected through because as stated earlier, the section between the proposed vacation area and 7th Street has been vacated. The area proposed to be vacated has no underground utilities that would cause the street to not be vacated. City Public Works Staff has requested that the northerly 5 feet of this property be dedicated back to the City as an easement. There is a water main located directly north of this property and the City needs this easement for access purposes. RECOMMENDATION City Staff recommends approval of this proposed street vacation with stipulations. STIPULATIONS Staff recommends that if the vacation is granted, the following stipulations be attached. 1. A utility easement on the northern 5 feet of this property be dedicated back to the Ciry. 2. Access to a future cell tower needs to be through the existing driveway and parking lot area. � � � CITY OF FRIDLEY TO: FROM: DATE: AGENDA ITEM CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 18, 2001 WILLIAM W. BURNS, CITY MANAGER,� _'�Y�� CHUCK MCKUSICK, FIRE CHIEF JLJNE 13, 2001 SUBJECT: CHEMICAL ASSESSMENT TEAM CONTRACT The "North Metro Chemical Assessment Team" consists of specially trained firefighters from Fridley, Coon Rapids and the Spring Lake Park\Blaine\Mounds View (SBM) fire departments who respond to chemical emergencies in a six county area at the request of the State Duty Officer. Our relationship with the other fire departments is under a joint powers agreement written for the specific purpose of providing this service pursuant to the State's Hazardous Materials Emergency Response program. Fridley is the contracting agency with the State, and the Fridley Fire Chief is responsible for administering the contract. Ir. consideration of this service, the State provides the team with equipment, vehicles and training under an annual $40,000 budget, and also reimburses the team for authorized response costs. This response capability is used to protect our own community, and offsets the considerable expense Fridley would incur if it had to provide the service without the State contract. The partnership with Coon Rapids and SBM fire departments assures the availability of team members who can respond to a hazardous materials scene, without depleting our own department staffing level. The attached resolution would authorize the City Manager and Mayor to execute an extension of our current contract, from July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2002, which is the State fiscal year. This will become the sixth year we have had this contract with State Department of Public Safety. Dir.

Burns Ci Mana er � , ry g � Jon H. Haukaas, Public Works Director June 7, 2001 Contract Amendment for Design services for TH 65 Causeway PWOI-052 Attached is a letter outlining the additional engineering services SEH will need to provide in order to complete the design of the TH 65 Causeway Improvements to a point where we can be eligible for Federal funding of the project. The original agreement for engineering services called for SEH to provide technical services designing the improvements on TH 65 from the south end of Moore Lake to 63`d Avenue. This set of plans could then be turned over to MnDOT for construction. The agreement needs to be expanded for several reasons. Since we were unable to persuade MnDOT to include this project into the State Transportation Plan, we are seeking other funding options. The Federal Aid process is the most likely source to fiznd the project and requires several additional steps be added to the design process. These include the preparation of a"Project Memorandum" which documents the social, economic and environmental impacts of the project. This is similar to the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) used on larger projects. The Federal Aid process also requires that we hold a public information open house. SEH will provide technical assistance and visual images for this meeting. The final addition required by the Federal Aid process is the preparation of a staging layout showing how the project will be constructed and what will happen to the existing traffic during that time. This was not in the original scope of services. One of the other items contributing to the expansion of services is SEH aiding the City in preparing right-of-way and easement documents for the intersection of TH 65 and 61" Avenue. These are necessary to accommodate additional width for reconfigured turn lanes and signalization not identified until preliminary layouts were put together. The last item is MnDOT's requirement that we extend the project approximately 1,000 feet north of 63`a This allows for safer merge lanes between 63`d and Mississippi Street. Without this additional length, MnDOT would require us to close the 63`d Ave access to TH 65. 34 ' June '7, 2001 PWO 1-052 - Page 2 The City is funding this design through a$500,000.00 grant from DTED. $38,744.60 was spent on preliminary subsurface investigation and the feasibiliry study. The current SEH contract is for $380,200.00. The estimate for additional services from SEH is $115,250.00. The Ciry would need to fund $34,194.60 above the $500,000.00 DTED grant. These services are necessary to have any chance of Federal funding. Recommend the Ciry Council approve the Contract Amendment with SEH for the design of TH 65 Causeway Improvements in the amount of $115,250.00.

If acceptable, this letter would serve as an amendment to our original Engineering Services Agreement dated August 14, 2000. Background The preliminary design phase of the work is very nearly completed. Some of the assumptions made at the time of the proposal have changed. The limits of the project have been expanded north, and staging of the work on the causeway must be part of the project. Detouring tra�c is not acceptable to Mn/DOT. In addition, the City has asked for public meeting assistance in the form of computer images, exhibits, handouts and attendance at the meeting. We have also been asked to prepare a Project Memorandum, project documentation necessary for a federal funding path. Scope of Work The following paragraphs describe our approach and understanding of the work requested. Attached is a detailed man-hour task breakdown that further describes the work. Public Meeting We expect to provide three computer images illustrating the before and after construction condition of the causeway for use at the public meeting. One of the images will be of the causeway from an aerial photo, and the other from the south end of the project neaz Old Central. The third image is proposed to be a night image of the causeway from the east side of the lake near the park. The impact of lighting options will be illustrated as seen by the residents that live on that side of the lake. I have inclnded three SEH staff inembers to attend the public meeting - me, the project engineer, and the lighting specialist. We have assumed the meeting will be an open house format so people can come and go and they please. SEH will have comment cards and handouts explaining the project, availab(e for the public.

If the project follows a federal funding path, the City of Fridley must prepare a Project Memorandum to conform to State and Federal Aid processes. A Project Memorandum (PM) documents the social, economic, and environmental impacts of the project and proposed mitigation. The PM is also used to document design exceptions, and ultimately serves as the document used to obtain approvals. The work tasks for the PM include Data Collection, Agency Reviews, Preparation and Distribution for the Project Memorandum. SEH will complete a PM in accordance with the procedures outlined in the State Aid Project manual. SEH will be responsible for requesting reviews from the DNR, MPCA and coordinating document submittal and review with the Office of State Aid. SEH will incorporate review comments and prepare a final PM for resubmittal to State Aid. Stagiag At the time of the engineering services proposal, the project had not been formulated far enough to include staging. It would be more cost effective and take less time if TH 65 would not have to carry traff'ic during construction. However, the local, county and other Mn/DOT transportation routes do not have enough capacity to allow for a closure. The work task includes development of staging concepts so they can be reviewed by Mn/DOT and others for feasibility. The detail tasks also show time to prepaze four stages of work sequence and subsequent traffic control to satisfy Mn/DOT design and plan format requirements. Expanded Project The original proposal included preparation of plans from Old Central to 63`d Avenue. During the preliminary layout phase, Mn/DOT has required the southbound lane to be expanded approximately another 1,000 feet north. There is also discussion regarding extension of the northbound through lane up to Mississippi Street and dropping it as a right turn lane at the intersection. Currently we do not have surveys in this area. Because the widening is occurring as fill over an existing ditch, we recommend getting additional borings so the embankment can be properly destgned. We propose to gather the surveys and borings needed for both northbound and southbound to save time. The extension of the project roughly adds another plan sheet to each plan such as removals, construction, drainage and erosion control. It requires special attention to the ditch grades and extensions or replacement of the existing culverts. Typical sections will need to be added. Earthwork calculations and cross sections will also need to be completed for this area. Right-of-Way The original proposal did not anticipate assisting the City with right-of-way. We have been asked to prepare easement descriptions and exhibits for three parcels that are adjacent to 63rd Avenue. 37 Mr. Jon Haukaas May 31, 2001 Page 3 Compensation We propose to be compensated for the scope of the work described on an hourly basis within the terms of our original contract. Compensation will be based on hourly cost of personnel, plus reimbursable expenses including reproducdons, mileage, equipment and subcontracted geotechnical services. We have estimated our services to cost $115,250. If the work outlined in this proposal is satisfactory, please sign both copies below and return one for our records. Please contact me if you have any questions, or need more information. Sincerely, Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. Susan M. Mason, P.E.

Burns, City Manager �L�r From: Richard D. Pribyl, Finance Director �Q Debra A. Skogen, City Clerk Date: June 12, 2001 Re: - Continued Public Hearing of Proposed Charter Amendment on Chapter 6 and 8 of the Fridley Charter Pertaining to Contracts, Public Improvements and Special Assessments A public hearing was held on June 4, 2001, and continued to the next City Council meeting pertaining to the Charter Commission proposed amendments to the City Charter. The Fridley Charter Commission began reviewing Chapter 8 last 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 dollaz 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 recairunendations 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. Staff recommends continuing the public hearing. 54 Attachment 2 ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 6.06, CONTRACT5, HOW LET AND CHAPTER 8.

As I indicated over the tele,�hone, the Taylors would appreciate a continuance of their rezoning request from tonight to the second City Council meeting in July. If this time is outside the 60-day-rule (Minn. Stat. § 15.99), they waive that time limitation to that date. We understand that the City Council has published notice of a public hearing and will probably open the hearing. We are asking that they then continue it until their second meeting in July. Although I did not mention it on the telephone, I broke a bone in my foot last Friday, and find it difficult to get around.

Transportation: Home is accessed via lronton Street. Physical Characteristics: Typical suburban landscape. SUMMARY OF REQUEST Petirioner is requesting rezoning this property to R- 3, which would accommodate the petitianer's multi- unit "sober house". SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS City Staff recommends denial of this rezoning request. • Would increase neighborhood density beyond R-1 standards by allowing up to tluee units (15+ people) • Not consistent with Comprehensive Plan Staff Report Prepared by. Paul Bolin ZOA #01-02 THE REQUEST Mr. Bobby Taylor, property owner of 401 Ironton; is requesting rezoning this property from R-1 Single Family to R-3 Multiple Family, in order to accommodate the number of units and density desired to operate as a sober house. PROPERTY HISTORY In 1976, Norma Willson, the previous property owner obtained a special use permit (SP#76-08); which at the time, made provisions for a single family residence to be modified to allow a second dwelling unit. In 1999, the City became aware that the property had illegally been converted into three distinct units and two additional sleeping rooms in the basement. None of the renovations that had taken place over the years were done with building, electrical, or plumbing permits. In September of 1999,.the City asked the property owner to give tenants proper notice and have all but the two approved units vacated. In November 1999, Ms. Willson made application for a rezoning of this property to R-3. As a result of this application, on December 9, 1999, City Staff inspected the building and found the condition of the home to be in serious disrepair and out of compliance with building, fire, and electrical codes. (See attached Inspection Report) In addition, tenants were still occupying the basement sleeping rooms and the third floor attic. The property owners were again instructed to vacate all tenants. After the inspection, which revealed that the structure was inadequate to allow more units, Ms. Willson withdrew her request for rezoning. There were many health, safety and welfare concerns (as indicated in the attached Inspection Report) that were of much concern to City Staff. _ In February 2000, a new tenant from the basement of 401 Ironton introduced herself to City staff. She indicated that she had just moved in and that she was representing Ms. Willson in a request for information about inspections, etc. Her comments about moving in were puzzling since the City had stated that only two units be occupied. The City Council held a hearing to consider revocation of Ms. Willson's Special Use Permit (SP#76-08) allowing the second unit. At the hearing, Ms. Willson was ordered to vacate all rental portions of her home as she no longer had a valid rental license and the City needed to assure the safety and well being of the tenants. Ms. Willson was ordered to bring the property up to a safe, Code compliant condition and work with a licensed building contracto� to prepare an aggressive repair schedule and obtain building permits prior to the City Council meeting of May 8, 2000. 61 Ms. Willson failed to meet any of the requirements by the May 8, 2000, deadline and the Special Use Permit (SP#76-08) was unanimously revoked by the City Council. This action returned the property to its original single-family status. Without the Special Use Permit, this property must now meet all single-family code requirements. Ms. Willson put the property up for sale. During the late summer and fall of 2000, City Staff received numerous calls from realtors and prospective buyers, inquiring about the possibility of using this home as a multi-unit rental. All were instructed that the property is zoned for use as a single-family home. Ms. Willson and her realtor were contacted directly and informed that they were not to be misrepresenting this property as anything more than a siogle family home. In March 2001, Mr. Bobby Taylor, new owner of the home contacted City, requesting an inspection of the property in order to obtain a rental license. Mr. Taylor is informed that the property is zoned R-1, Single Family only and that a rental license cannot be issued. Mr. Taylor informs Staff that he thought that if he fixed the home up the City would issue a rental license to him. City Staff inspects the home and notes that the home has undergone major remodeling (without permits) and that there are three distinct units with at least 9-11 people living at the site. Mr. Taylor is informed that he has an illegal rental and must reduce the number of unrelated person living in the home to five, in order to meet the City's R-1 zoning requirements. All of the remodeling done by Mr. Taylor, without building permits and proper inspections, still raises many concerns with City Staff. Without the benefit of proper inspections, Staff is noi able to determine the structural s�undness of the home, the quality of the plumbing work, and the safety of the electrical work. Though the interior of the home has been given a facelift, without knowing what lies beneath the new sheet rock, City Staff still has health, safety, and welfare concerns. In May of 2001, Mr. Taylor submitted this application for rezoning of the property to R-3 in order to continue running the homs as a sober house with 9-15 persons residing in the various units. To date, Mr. Taylor has not applied for building permits despite requests from the City's Chief Building Official to do so. ANALYSIS A rezoning is a discretionary grant on the part of the City. The Staff, Planning Commission, and City Council must decide whether or not a request is in keeping with the overall vision and best interests of the City. A rezoning in Fridley, historically, also has involved consideration of all health, safety and welfare issues. As alluded to in the PROPERTY HISTORY section of this report, it is those health, safety, and welfare concerns at 401 Ironton that cause great concern to Staff. The City's December 1999 inspection revealed that the structure was not adequate to allow additional units. The City's March 2000 inspection revealed that Mr. Taylor had done many cosmetic changes to the home, without the benefit of permits and proper inspections that, while making the home feel very comfortable, only covered up many of the health, safety, and welfare issues. Beyond the 62 health, safety, and welfare issues, the request fails to meet the foliowing three criteria for rezoning. Compatibility of the proposed use with the Comprehensive Plan. The City's latest Comprehensive Plan makes no mention of expanding the R-3 zoning district into this neighborhood. Granting of this rezoning request would be inconsistent with the City's overall vision for this neighborhood. Compatibility of the proposed district with adjacent uses. The rezoning of this property to R-3 would allow three units (due to lot size) and up to a 5+ unrelated persons living on this property. This increased density is well beyond what is allowed by R-1 zoning standards and could change the character of this well- established neighborhood through the increased density and traffic. There is not adequate paved parking on this site to meet the R-3 code requirements for parking. Creating an appropriately sized parking lot would drastically alter the residential feel " and look of this neighborhood. The neighboring properties immediately West of this properiy are duplexes that are residential in character. The property directly across the street from this home is an older 4-plex. The expansion of the R-3 district onto this property, however, will change the character of the neighborhood due to the changes needed to make the home conforming with R-3 parking requirements. Designation as an R-3 district would allow the current or any future property owner the ability to remove this single family home and replace it with a three unit apartment building that may not have any residential type architecture and may not blend at all into this neighborhood. Compliance of the proposed use with the proposed district requirements Setbacks The existing home does not meet setback requirements for the R-3 zoning district. A _ side-yard of 15' is required. The existing home is only 11.2' from the side-yard property line. Parking Based on the size of this site and the possibility of three finro bedroom units, a total of six parking stalls, meeting all code requirements would need to be provided on site. Parking stalls must be 10' X 20' with appropriate drive aisles widths provided (18' for one-way traffic, 25' for two-way traffic). Landscaping Conversion of this property into a multi-family structure would require a landscape plan. RECOMMENDATION City Staff recommends denial of this rezoning request. 63 1. Concerns over health, safety, and welfare have not been properly addressed. 2. The further expansion of the R-3 district into this neighborhood is not in conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 3. Rezoning this property would inappropriately increase the density of this neighborhood. 4. Would increase neighborhood density beyond R-1 standards by allowing up to three units (15+ people). 5. Creation of a"parking lot" would change the residential character of this neighborhood. STIPULATIONS City Staff recommends that if the Planning Commission or City Council grant the rezoning request, that the following stipulations be attached. 1. All building permits be obtained prior to final Council Action. 2. Rental license be obtained from Rental Inspections Division. - � 3. All Building, Fire, Electrical, and Zoning Code deficiencies be brought into conformance prior to occupancy by more than five unrelated individuals. 4. Parking lot meeting all code requirements to be constructed within 1 year of rezoning approval. 5. Landscape plan to be submitted to City prior to final Council Action. Further, all required plantings to be installed by October 1, 2001. 6. Garage shall not be used as iiving space or for any home occupations. OTHER: Staff would like to note for the record, that if the rezoning application is denied, the petitioner must still obtain all necessary building permits for work done to date. Petitioner is also required to return the home to single-family status by installing a doorway and/or necessary steps between the main floor and the second floor within three months of denial. A follow up inspection will be done at that time, and criminal citations will be issued if there is non-compliance. .� e 0 � AGENDA ITEM � CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF �oF JUNE 18 2001 FRro«r � To: William W.
