Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
8. AWARD CONTRACT FOR DESIGN ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURAL
SERVICES FOR MUNICIPAL GARAGE IMPROVEMENTS:
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if it made sense to go out for a contract for services for
something that is $37,000 when the project may not be done. She asked what would happen if
we wait until it is decided if the project will be done.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that his rationale is that this gives the City the option to do the
project this year if it can be done financially. If the design work is not done now and we wait
until April, it will be too late to complete the project this year.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that it may not make sense to spend the money and then come
back in a year or so and say it is not going to be done.
Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, stated that the biggest thing right now is that if we want to
do the project this year, we are on a timetable. This timetable would have staff fully in that
building in October before staff starts changing over to winter activities. If the timetable is
shifted with winter construction, there may be additional expenses involved such as finding
temporary buildings. The fees of $51,500 would include construction supervision and a certain
reimbursable amount reducing the immediate up-front design fees to around $37,000. If we are
at a certain percentage of design, and realize we may not do it this year, things can be put on hold
as a cost saving measure. This expense has been budgeted for several years and is long overdue
and much needed.
Mayor Lund stated that it is a worthwhile project, and the costs are still inherent whether it is
done this year or next.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she does not disagree that it is a project we want to do. She
understands the timing but she personally cannot support spending even $37,000 at this point in
time. It is a good project but it does not seem prudent right now.
Councilmember Barnette stated that it does not make a difference if we spend money this or the
next year for the design if we are sure we are going to do it. The cost of design may go up next
year. Eventually we have to do something.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that at some point, but she asked if it was done in steps. She
said it may be premature at this point.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY '7, 2002 PAGE 6
Councilmember Barnette asked what kind of time period is involved.
Mr. Haukaas stated that the proposed schedule had staff in the building in October. The design
part of the project would be done within the next two months. That would put us in the position
to advertise for construction bids.
Councilmember Barnette asked if it would be a big deal to wait a year on everything.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that they could do the design in June and do the project next
spring. Her point is what if it is done in parts. -
Mr. Haukaas stated that if it is done in parts, regardless of what is done, this is step one.
Complete development of the design is proposed to be completed by the end of March and
complete construction documents by May 1 to be able to bid the project in May for the four-
month construction period.
Councilmember Wolfe asked if the estimate for the cost from last year was around $600,000.
Mr. Burns stated that he thought it was $652,000 for the building, but there is additional money
for garage doors and paving.
Mr. Haukaas stated the total budget of $652,000 included several different portions for paving
and garage doors for energy efficiency. There is a four to five year return on the garage door
upgrades.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to table the award for the contract for Design
Engineering and Architectural Services. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, COUNCILMEMBERS BOLKCOM, WOLFE,AND BILLINGS
VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND, COUNCILMEMBER BARNETTE VOTING NAY,
MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED 3 TO 2.
10. MOTION TO APPROVE 2002 CITY COUNCIL AND STAFF APPOINTMENTS:
Councilmember Billings stated that the City Manager asked of Council wanted to designate
someone to be District #14 representative to the Community Education Council. He said the list
specifies a representative for School Districts 13 and 14. He indicated that there is no longer a
joint School District Nos. 13 and 14 Community Education Council. He asked if there should
separate appointments for both districts. He also asked if Councilmember Barnette should be
appointed as the Alternate to the North Corridor Development Authority.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that he is not sure of the appointments to the school districts.
Couneilmember Barnette stated that at one time, they shared the same Director of the
Community Education. That is no longer true. He said the new Community Education Director
for School District No. 14 will probably reactivate this committee. He does not know what
School District No. 13 is planning.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 7, 2002 PAGE 7
Mr. Burns stated that staff received a communication from Ms. Jackie Johnston, Community
Education Director for School District No. 14, and she asked if we had a Councilmember on the
Commission. We discovered that we had one but the appointment is apparently expiring. It
makes sense to separate the school districts.
Councilmember Barnette stated that he would like to stay on the Northstar Corridor
Development Authority.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to amend the appointments by naming the Alternate to the
Northstar Corridor Development Authority as Councilmember-at-Large Robert Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to designate School District Nos. 13 and 14 as two
separate designations with Councilmember Barnette as Representative to both Districts and
Councilmember Bolkcom as Alternate to both Districts. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to approve the amended 2002 City Council and Staff
appointments. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.

Mr. Burns stated that at the January 14 City Council conference meeting, staff plans to discuss
the community land trust concept and invite members of the Springbrook Nature Center
Foundation to meet with Council to discuss the planning process for the nature center. The
meeting starts at 7:00 p.m.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked when the joint HRA meeting was.
Mr. Burns stated that it is the same night. Council would meet with the HRA first and then the
Springbrook Nature Center Foundation.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that the purpose is to update Council on the project at
Springbrook Nature Center.
Mr. Burns stated that after the Council meeting he would like to discuss the pledge by the
Council to doing an overlay on the southern portion of East River Road. They have told us
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 7, 2002 PAGE 8
informally that they will replace the medians also. Mr. Haukaas questions the amount of money
to be spent. 62 1/2 Way is in poor coridition and additional work there will be discussed.
Mr. Burns stated that the Planning Commission and the Environmental Quality and Energy
Commission vacancies still exist.

MOTION by Ms. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Johns, to approve the December 5, 2001, Planning
Commission meeting minutes as presented.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. PUBUC HEARING
Zoning Text Amendment, ZTA #01-08, by the City of Fridley for reconsideration of the
Ciry Ordinance on the storage of non-motorized vehicles such as campers, boats,
snowmobile trailers on residential properties.
MOTION by Ms. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to waive the reading and open the public
hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:33 P.M.
Mr. Bolin stated that the Ciry is requesting a zoning text amendment that would change City
Code requirements on the parking of non-motorized camping trailers, boats, and utility trailers.
When the City began the systematic code enforcement program in 1998, a number of property
owners were storing their utility trailers, campers, and boats in the front yard next to or on the
driveway. The Code does not allow this and never has. Two property owners requested
variances to park their travel trailers on the driveway. Both variance requests were denied.
Because of the interest of the public, City Council instructed City staff to take another look at
this section of Code. On September 17, 2001, the Council members held a public hearing to
discuss the existing ordinance and give residents a chance to voice opinions. All but one were
in favor of allowing campers and trailers on the driveway seasonably or year around.
1
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 2, 2002 PAGE 2
Mr. Bolin stated City staff also looked at other cities' regulations which ranged from very simple
to very complicated code sections. Some communities allow the shorter trailer such as a pop-
up, and some allow trailers of greater length. The City of Fridley currently only allows outdoor
storage in the side and rear yard for non-motorized campers, boat trailers, and utility trailers.
The City requires motorized recreational vehicles to be parked on paved surface. So, a
motorized RV can be parked in the driveway, but a boat cannot. A boat must be parked in the
side yard. City staff wanted a user-friendly ordinance that would be easy to enforce. The most
recent citizen survey indicated that if the ordinance stays as is or is changed, half of the
respondents are going to be disappointed in the outcome. The ordinance as it now reads is
easy for staff to enforce, and about half of the respondents favored that option.
Mr. Bolin stated the second option to allow outdoor storage in all portions of the yard is easy to
enforce but counterproductive to the goal of improving Fridley's image.
Mr. Bolin stated the third option recommended for approval would allow not only motorized RVs
in the driveway, but also non-motorized campers and boat traile�s. The Exterior Storage portion
of the R-1 zoning district reads: "Nothing shall be stored in the required front yard with the
exception of boats, non-motorized camping trailers and utility trailers, provided they are located
on an approved hard surface and no portion of the sub-trailer extends more than 25 feet from
the home's living area." Most homes in Fridley are set back at 35 feet, so this would still keep
the trailers far enough back from the street. If the garage is set back further than the front
corner of the living area, this would allow a larger camper. This would also deter vision
problems.
Mr. Bolin stated that the second change of wording would be under the second paragraph of the
code section as follows: "Boats, non-motorized camping trailers, and utility trailers stored in the
side or rear yard are not required to be located on a hard surface." Staff recommends the
proposed ordinance resembling the third option be approved by the Planning Commission and
forvvarded on to the City Council for final approval on January 28.
Ms. Savage asked if this is a separate ordinance that has to do with the non-motorized trailers.
Mr. Bolin stated that is correct, because the motorized ones are dealt with in the motorized
vehicle parking seetion of the ordinance. That will have no changes.
Ms. Savage stated that separate code provisions allow motorized recreational vehicles to be
parked in the driveway.
Mr. Bolin stated that is correct.
Ms. Savage stated there is no limitation as to the number of non-motorized boats and trailers.
Mr. Bolin stated that the only limit is that if they are in the front yard, they need to be on the
driveway.
Ms. Savage stated that some other cities' ordinances had limitations on the number of
recreational vehicles.
Mr. Bolin stated that a limit of two recreational vehicles per property is fairly common.
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 2, 2002 PAGE 3
Ms. Savage asked how you would count a non-motorized recreational vehicle if you did have a
limitation of two.
Mr. Bolin stated they would count the trailer with a boat or snowmobiles on it as a single unit.
Most cities do this also.
Mr. Saba asked if the setback of 25 feet would make any traffic vision problems.
Mr. Bolin stated that with the 25-foot setback, in most cases, the home will still have 7-13 feet of
boulevard area before the property starts.
Mr. Kondrick stated that a motorized camper less than 25 feet from the curb would be against
the rules.
Mr. Bolin stated that if it is motorized, it is not regulated.
Mr. Kuechle asked about the logic of differentiating between motorized and non-motorized.
Mr. Bolin stated that the State requires motorized vehicles to be parked on a paved surFace.
RVs are lumped in with the commercial vehicles. The City reviewed this section of the
ordinance six years ago, and they did not deal with anything that was non-motorized. That is a
separate code section. Most Fridley residents are happy with the RV section, and they have
had no requests to change that. If the Commission prefers to put a size limitation on motorized
vehicles, it can be looked at.
Mr. Kuechle asked how near a hard surface could be placed to the lot line.
Mr. Bolin stated that it is three feet.
Mr. Kuechle asked if any thought was given to having it 15-20 feet off the curb.
Mr. Bolin stated that they were looking for something easily enforceable, and it makes sense to
not have something sticking way out in front of the home. With the front yard living area
setback, this seemed IogicaL
Mr. Kondrick stated that if a neighbor backs out of the driveway and gets into a collision due to
vision obstruction from the RV or camper, who's fault is that? Twenty-five feet seems fair.
Mr. Kuechle stated he would prefer going back 15 feet from the curb line.
Mr. Kondrick stated that backing out of the driveway safely with a camper or RV in the way of
vision is what bothers him. He would prefer 15 feet also.
Mr. Bolin stated that would be an easy change to make. It could be 15 feet back from the curb,
but in no case more than 25 feet in front of the home.
Mr. Kuechle stated he is concerned about having 25 feet in front of the home, because it tempts
people to park it right against the garage. That is not very attractive either. It is better to leave a
space to at least walk behind it. He does not know if 25 feet is a reasonable length for a trailer.
3
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 2. 2002 PAGE 4
Richard Young, 5695 Quincy Street, stated that there is a big difference between travel trailers
and a fifth wheel trailer. If you have a 25 foot travel trailer towed behind the vehicle, the hitch is
approximately three feet from the front of the vehicle. The Commission may want to consider
25 feet of the trailer itself, not counting the hitch unit.
Mr. Kondrick asked about 6-foot hitches.
Mr. Young stated they are typically about three feet.
Mr. Kondrick stated a 6-foot hitch would be a problem.
Mr. Young stated he would not have been aware of this meeting if he had not seen it in the
Focus News. He was not aware of the City Council meeting on September 17, because he was
out of town. He has a 29-foot fifth wheel that sits on the driveway. No more than two feet of
that sticks in front of his house, so he would be in compliance.
Mr. Kondrick stated that is correct.
Ms. Johns asked if he would be in compliance because it is in the side yard.
Mr. Bolin stated that he would be in compliance.
Mr. Young asked if he had to have it on a hard surface. The majority is on the driveway. His
neighbor has no problem with one wheel sitting on his yard because it sticks over just a bit. He
would get a variance for that if he has to. There are so many ordinances that are easily
enforced that appear not to be enforced. He would hate to think of another ordinance that is
selectively enforced. One ordinance not adequately enforced is the "no parking" on the street
for more than 24 continuous hours. Garbage containers are also visible from the street.
Ms. Savage stated the Commission is not really addressing these other ordinances at this time.
She asked Mr. Young if he was in favor of this proposal.
Mr. Young stated that he is because he is in compliance. In the winter time, his fifth wheel is in
storage and in the summer it is sitting on his driveway. Storage is expensive and difficult to find.
Jim and Donna Reisner, 6424 Pierce Street, stated they have been to a few of the Council
meetings about this. Their camper is 30 feet long, and it is stored in their driveway from May 15
through November 15 and then stored off site all winter. They are hoping that the code changes
so they can keep it in their driveway during the summer. Ms. Reisner stated she has a bad
back so it is easier to have it there so she can clean it when she needs to.
Mr. Reisner, 6424 Pierce St., stated that the motorized RVs can be 30-35 feet and still be
parked in the driveway. Whose fault is it if there is a collision when pulling out of the driveway
because vision is blocked by these long RVs? .
Mr. Bolin stated that is a separate section of code.
Ms. Reisner stated there is plenty of room for them to park their pick-up in front of the camper,
and their neighbors have no problem with it.
Ms. Savage asked if they were in favor of the new ordinance.
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 2, 2002 PAGE 5
Ms. Reisner stated they are in favor of the new ordinance.
Mr. Oquist stated the Reisner's camper is 30 feet, but the proposed code change is saying that
only 25-foot campers are allowed.
Ms. Johns stated that if the Reisners have a long driveway, the camper can still be parked
there.
Mr. Oquist stated that the ordinance states that it is 25 feet from the garage to the tongue. Their
camper is 30 feet so they are in violation. The Commission could change that to read 15 feet
from the curb, then they would be okay.
Ms. Savage asked if the Reisners could park their camper along the side of the house.
Ms. Reisner stated that they would have to go across the neighbor's yard into his driveway to
get to the side of their house.
Mr. Reisner stated it should not matter how long a trailer is as long as there is a good view.
Ms. Savage stated they would consider that.
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT $:05 P.M.
Mr. Oquist stated that it is more reasonable to govern the distance from the curb to the trailer.
This would put the 25-foot camper out into the boulevard area for those properties with short
d riveways.
Ms. Johns asked if they would have to view it from the street.
Mr. Bolin stated that is correct.
Ms. Johns stated that it would be easier to measure from the curb than it would be from the
camper.
Mr. Oquist stated that 15 feet from the curb is more reasonable.
Mr. Kondrick stated he agrees with the change, but the 15 feet from the curb is better.
Mr. Kuechle asked if there was any interest by staff to have a 25-foot limit.
Mr. Bolin stated that the 25-foot limit keeps campers back out of the right-of-way; and with most
homes, it keeps them back an additional ten feet from the right-of-way.
Mr. Kondrick stated that they would be further away from the curb on average measuring from
the house as opposed to the curb.
5
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 2, 2002 PAGE 6
Mr. Bolin stated that is correct. They just need a size limit, and not everyone will get to keep a
camper in the driveway. For example, Mr. Saba has a garage that is set back further than his
home and his home is set back 35 feet. If he measured 25 feet from the front of his house and
went all the way back to his garage, he could put a 50-foot camper in his driveway.
Mr. Oquist stated that he likes the way the New Hope ordinance reads with the setback of 15
feet from the street and curb and not encroaching on any sidewalk and front yard.
Mr. Kuechle asked what the possibility would be of putting a limit of 15 or 30 feet from the curb?
Keep both of them but extend it to 25 feet; yet it has to be at least 15 feet back from the curb.
The ordinance should try to accommodate the majority of the people.
Mr. Bolin stated that it depends on how far the garage is set back from the home. He is not
opposed to the 15-foot suggestion either.
Ms. Johns asked if staff thought about putting non-motorized vehicles on the driveway, that
people may park their cars on the street if it is a smaller driveway.
Mr. Bolin stated that would be a problem in the winter.
Ms. Johns stated this would probably only happen in the summer.
Mr. Kondrick stated that safety comes first. People may just have to find another place to park if
it is too close to the street.
Ms. Savage stated that she has a concern about more clutter with no limitations on the non-
motorized and motorized vehicles.
Ms. Johns asked if a lot of letters have been sent out for noncompliance of this ordinance.
Mr. Bolin stated that many noncompliance letters for boats and trailers in the front yard have
been sent out since 1998.
Ms. Johns asked if those people knew of the ordinance.
Mr. Bolin stated many do not know of this ordinance until they get the first letter.
Mr. Saba stated that summer is such a short season and these vehicles would not be out for a
long time. If people take care of these vehicles, it does not look bad. He likes this ordinance
and thinks it is a good one. He shares a little of the concern about the clutter, but he thinks
most people tend to keep their properties as neat as possible. He does not have a problem with
going 15 feet away from the curb.
Mr. Oquist feels that he agrees with 15 feet, but they should drop the 25 foot requirement. It
should not encroach on the sidewalk or front yard. The hitch cannot be out on the sidewalk.
Mr. Bolin stated that in the ordinance, the public right-of-way will limit that.
Ms. Savage asked if in the other cities' ordinances, "neighbor approval" meant next door
neighbor.
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 2, 2002 PAGE 7
Mr. Bolin stated that was correct with written approval.
Ms. Savage asked if he would consider that.
Mr. Bolin stated he would not because you may get along with neighbors one day and not the
next.
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to recommend approval of ZTA #01-08 as

(1) Nothing shall be stored in the required front yard, with the exception of boats, non-

Subject: Sign Plan for East Ranch Estates Phase II — 7610 University Avenue
M-02-06
INTRODUCTION
East Ranch Estates, owner of the newly constructed building located at 7610 University
Avenue, is requesting that the City Council approve the attached sign plan.
SUMMARY
Code Section 214.14, requires shopping centers and multiple tenant buildings to have a
comprehensive sign plan approved by the City. The purpose of this requirement is to
assure that centers have well planned, aesthetically pleasing, and consistent appearance.
The proposed sign plan does meet all the City's criteria and will ensure a consistent look
to the signage of this new building. The comprehensive sign plan allows the sign to
consist either of individual letters or an aluminum pan-shaped panel.
PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends approval of the proposed comprehensive sign plan for East Ranch
Estates Phase II located at 7610 University Avenue.

Fridley, MN 55432
Dear Stacy,
Here is the sign information for 7610 University Ave site. Measuring the length of the 3
walls I come up with a total of 137 feet. Looking at the building, the left side is 50, the
rriiddle is 42, and the right is 45. (This length does not include the tower area; we are not
allowing any signs on this area.) The square root of the total is 11.7 x 15 equals 175.50.
The 175 feet would be split 3 ways or 58 square feet allowed of signage for each tenant.
The only area that we will allow signage on the building is in the EFIS area above the
awnings.
Sign Criteria:
• Each tenant is required to use an external light fixture to light the building sign.
The manufacture of the fixture is Spero Electric Co. (Cleveland, OH) The model
# of the angle reflector is # 610, which requires incandescent bulb wattage of 150.
The angle bracket #SC-GN23-SPA3 is required to mount the reflector. All pieces
are to be in the color of G10 (Dazk Green).
• Letters and logos of the tenants can be individual letters, which have to be
mounted to a raceway not directly to the building. The sign can also be an
"Aluminum Pan-shaped Panel". This type of sign can be attached to the EFIS
wall with hidden "L" brackets with a 1" return. The color needs to be the same
color as the building EFIS.
• All lighting fixtures are to be mounted to a raceway, which is mounted to the
building EFIS. The color of the raceway needs to be the same color as the EFIS
building color.
• All electrical connections are to be made to the raceway in the center of the sign
area.
• The number of fixtures for each sign area will have equal spacing of 4 fixtures per
15' of signage.
� All signage needs to be approved by the landlord.
If you have any questions feel free to call me at 528-2362.
Sincerely,
Michael Schroer

Consider Amendment #1 to Service Contract with Center for Energy and
Environment (CEE) to Administer Home Improvement Grant Program. M-02-11
On June 15, 2000 the City entered into an agreement with the Center for Energy and
Environment to administer the Home Improvement Grant Program. As an aside, the contract
was executed with the City (instead of the Fridley HRA), because the underlying CDBG dollars
were awarded to the City.
The term of the agreement ran from June 15, 2000 through December 31, 2001. CEE is
currently in the process of wrapping up several files, however it is necessary to extend the
agreement. Amendment #1 would extend the term of the agreement through December 31, 2002
or until CEE's obligations have been fulfilled, whichever occurs first.
CDBG Update
As you are aware, the County Board has been under pressure from HUD to recapture unspent
CDBG funds. On January 10, 2002 we received a letter (copy attached) from Anoka County
outlining the funds in question and the process for recapturing those dollars. In essence, the
Counry needs to recapture unspent CDBG dollars from 1997 to 2000. We have spent all of our
1998 funds and have enough applications to spend most of the remaining 1999 and 2000
allocations. Attached is a report on the status of the program. As you can see, there are 10
applications in process at this time. We have made some assumptions about the amount that
could be awarded to each recipient. Assuming each grant was worth $15,000, we could use up to
$150,000 of the available money from 1999 and 2000.

CEE Memo
January 24, 2002

We are currently working with CEE and Anoka County to determine which rehab projects can be
completed and submitted for reimbursement by the April 30th deadline. Any funds not spent by
that date, will be re-captured. CEE has four staff people working aggressively to process the
applications on file.

Grant E. Fernelius, Assistant HRA Director
Consider Resolution Consenting to Anoka County HRA Sale of East River
Road Homes. M-02-10
Last week staff was contacted by the Anoka County HRA about a proposal to sell several
homes located along East River Rd. The homes had been acquired by the County
Highway Deparhnent as part of the expansion of East River in the late 1990's.
The County Highway Department would like to sell the homes to the County HRA,
which in turn will sell them to income-eligible, first-time buyers. At this point, County
HRA staff has not provided any specifics on the program. The estimated price tag for all
of the properties is around $730,000.
BackQround
The purpose of the County's proposal is rather straightforward. The Highway
Department has leased the homes to ACCAP for a scattered site rental program, however
ACCAP no longer wants to operate the program. If the Highway Department were to sell
the properties directly it would require public bidding. In this case, the Highway
Department plans to sell the homes to the County HRA to avoid the bidding process.
As you are aware, the County HRA does not operate any programs or services in Fridley.
County staff has indicated that this project will not open the door to expansion of the
County HRA's tax levy. The goal of this project is to streamline the disposition of
homes.

Anoka County HRA to proceed with the project.

WHEREAS, the City of Fridley, Minnesota (the "City") has received a request from the
Anoka County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the "County HRA") to carryout a
special project (the "ProjecY') to sell County-owned, residential p�operty (the "Properties")
located within the City; and
WHEREAS, the City acknowledges that this Project will benefit the general public by
returning the Properties to the tax rolls and providing home ownership opportunities to low

WHEREAS, the City acknowledges that the most prudent approach to disposing of the
Properties is through a sale coordinated by the Anoka County HRA.
WHEREAS, the County HRA shall be responsible for administration of the Project and all
costs related to the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Fridley,
Minnesota, that the County HRA is authorized to dispose of the Properties listed in Exhibit

As I noted to you, the need to e�ctend the contract agreement we talked about earlier this month
from 6 months to 8 months was when we found out last week that the TEA-21 grant application

In order to keep witl�in the $14,000 maximum contract agreement we discussed earlier this
month and still provide Fridley with the monitoring of the TEA-21 application process, we have
adjusted the payment schedule to reflect the new time line.

Subject: Public Hearing To Consider Changes To Boat, Camper, and Trailer Parking
M-02-07
The purpose of this memo is to provide the background necessary to consider changes to
the City's current requirements on the parking of non-motorized camping trailers, boats, &
utility trailers. During the summer of 1998 the City's systematic code enforcement
program revealed that a number of property owners were storing utility trailers, camping
trailers, and boats in their front yards and on their driveways. The extent of these code
violations led to discussion and to survey questions on the 1999 & 2001 Citizen Survey
and the 2000 Council / Commission Survey and also to two variance requests to this code
section. Both variances were denied.
On September 17, 2001, the City Council held a public hearing to discuss the existing
ordinance and allow residents to voice their opinions on the issue. Approximately 16
people spoke, the majority of them owned camper trailers and were in favor of allowing
these trailers to be parked on the driveway, at least seasonally.
In preparation for the September 17�' public hearing on recreational vehicle parking, staff
conducted a survey of the surrounding cities to determine what their ordinances state
regarding recreational vehicle parking. The attached matrix shows the findings.
COUNCIUCOMMISSION SURVEY RESULTS
The results from the 2000 Council/Commission survey showed that the Council members
were divided between all the options. Two Council members would allow non-motorized
trailers to be parked in the front yard as long as they were parked on a hard surface. One
Council member chose the "do nothing" option. The fourth Council member chose the
option that would continue to consider the parking of non-motorized camper and trailers
through the variance process. We would, however, establish a practice of allowing them if
the person had no access to his side or rear yard. The fifth Council member was
undecided on this issue.
50
The results from the Commission members showed that a majority would ikeep the
ordinance the same and/or make it more restrictive. Twenty of the forty-oine
commissioners selected the option that would continue to prohibit non-matorized campers
and trailers from the front yard and would also pass a new ordinance barring motorized
campers and trailers from the front yard. Eleven of the commissioners chpse the option
that would continue to consider the parking of non-motorized campers an� trailers through
the variance process. We would, however, establish a practice of allowin� them if the
person had no access to his side or rear yard and there are no complaint� for adjoining
neighbors. Eight of the commissioners chose the "do nothing" option and Itwo
commissioners chose the option that would allow non-motorized trailers toj be parked in
the front yard as long as they were placed on a hard surface. '
CITIZEN SURVEY RESULTS i
In the 1999 Citizen survey, �esidents were informed that the City currently'�,DOES NOT
allow the placements of non-motorized campers and boats in the front yar� including the
driveway. They were then asked, should the Council adopt legislation that allows the
storage of boats and campers in the front yard? One Council member strqngly objected to
the way this question was worded believing that "front yard" was too broad, which
prompted the question to be re-worded and asked again in the 2001 Citizen survey. The
results from this survey showed that by a fifty-four percent to thirty-five pencent majority,
citizens opposed the adoption of legislation to allow the storage of boats ahd campers in
the front yard.
YES.............................................35%
NO.................. ............................54%
DON"T KNOW/REFUSED ................11 %
Respondents were also informed that City ordinances DO allow the storage of motorized
travel trailers or large RV's in the front yard. They were then asked, shouldi the City adopt
legislation that prohibits this? The results for the survey showed that by a fifty-three
percent to thirty-six percent majority, residents opposed prohibiting the stortage of
motorized travel trailers or large RV's in the front yard.
YES..........................................36% I
NO............................................53%
DON'T KNOW/REFUSED ..............11 % '
The wording of the question was slightly changed for the 2001 Citizen surviey, which was
completed this fall. Residents were informed that The City currently DOESi NOT allow the
placement of non-motorized campers and boats in driveways. They were then asked,
"Should the Council adopt legislation that allows the storage of boats and qampers in the
driveways?" The results for the survey basically show a tie with 47% in fav�r and 46%
opposed to the storage of boats and campers in driveways. ,
YES.........................................47%
NO........................... .............46%
DON'T KNOW REFUSED .............. 8%

OPTIONS FOR REGULATING PARKING OF BOATS AND TRAILERS
In developing the proposed ordinance, staff examined several different options based
on how other Cities in the metro area regulate the parking of boats and trailers.
Regulations range from very simple (basically anything goes) to very complicated
(items are regulated by size, lot size, and require neighbor approval). Based on the
Citizen Survey results, whether the current regulations are changed or not,
approximately'/2 of the residents will disapprove. Any changes made should be user
friendly (understood by the average resident) and easy to enforce. The following three
options met these criteria.
1. The ordinance as currently written is simple to enforce. Nothing is allowed in the
front yard except motorized vehicles parked on a hard surface. One option
would be to keep the existing code language. Approximately'/2 of Fridley's
residents favor the current regulations.
2. A second option would be to remove all restrictions on storing items in the front
yard. This would also be simple to enforce, but would be counterproductive to
the great strides code enforcement has made over the past 4 years to improve
Fridley's image.
3. A third option, while making enforcement slightly more difficult, would be to allow
the parking of boats, camping trailers, and utility trailers in the front yard, on a
paved surface. We would also suggest that the trailers not stick out more than
25 feet from the front of the home. This will help to ensure that the trailers are
not overhanging the front property line onto the boulevard. This option would
give campers, utility trailers, and boats the right to park in the driveway, just as
motor homes are able to do.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 2, 2002 to gather information
and make a recommendation on the proposed ordinance change. The Planning
Commission recommended approval of the third option, above, with a minor change. The
Planning Commission recommends ridding the ordinance of the provision requiring trailers
not extend more than 25' in front of the home, and instead, requiring no portion of said
trailer extend closer than 15 feet to the back of the curb. The motion to recommend
approval of the ordinance change passed on a 5-1 vote.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends concurrence with the Planning Commissions recommendations and
minor modification to the proposed ordinance. Staff further recommends that a public
hearing be held on this item.
52
Ordinance No.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY HEREBY FINDS AND ORDAINS,

Subject: Hearing To Declare A Certain Parcel Of City Owned Real Estate Surplus And
Authorize The Sale Thereof
M-02-08
INTRODUCTION
The Skywood Apartments, owned by Dr. Alexander A. Levitan, are located at 1200-1290
Cheri Lane. The owners of Skywood Apartments had inadvertently expanded the parking
area for the apartments by expanding onto a 4,752 square foot triangle of City owned
property (without the City's consent) and, as a recently submitted survey revealed to City
Staff, Menards property.
In 1999, Cedar Managment approached the City to purchase the City parcel they had
inadvertantly constructed their parking lot over. The City informed Dr. Levitan, that the City
would be agreeable to a sale price of $1/ square foot on a number of conditions, including
completing an "as builY' survey of the property. Dr. Levitan chose not to move fonNard with
the land sale at that time.
A few months ago, Dr. Levitan approached the City once again about purchasing the
property (everything needed to be conforming to refinance) and agreed to the previous
stipulations. The attached survey, that was recently submitted by Dr. Levitan, revealed that
a portion of the parking lot is actually located in the City ROW and a portion of 7 parking
spaces and a drive aisle are located on Menards property. In addition, the survey work
revealed that the property Dr. Levitan wishes to purchase from the City is actually 4,752.64
square feet. This is larger than the approximately 1,500 square feet Dr. Levitan's attorneys
indicated the size of the property to be in a letter and map they submitted to the City on
February 18, 1999.
54
All issues with expansion of the parking lot over the Menards property have been resolved
and Dr. Levitan has agreed to the Ciry's conditions placed on the sale of this property.
The parcel in question is not buildable as a stand-alone parcel and the City has no plans
for future use of this property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends holding the public hearing on this item. Staff further recommends
declaring this property excess and selling the property for $1/ square foot, with the following
conditions:
• Dr. Levitan cover all filing fees associated with transaction.
• Parcel be combined with Dr. Levitan's existing property.
• Dr. Levitan cover City's costs associated with preparation of a quit claim deed.
• Dr. Levitan and future owners agree to stipulation on purchase, that this site not be
used for telecommunications facilities and equipment, beyond currently approved
lines that exist below grade.
• Dr. Levitan provide a letter of intent and performance bond or cash deposit in the
amount of $2,000 to ensure the parking space overhanging the City's right-of-way
is removed, curbing on that portion of parking lot is reinstalled, and boulevard area
is restored by July 1, 2002.
• Dr. Levitan go through variance process to recognize sub-standard parking
setbacks.
