PUBLIC HEARINGS:
15. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 205 OF THE
FRIDLEY CITY CODE PERTAINING TO EXTERIOR STORAGE
REQUIREMENTS BOAT, CAMPER AND TRAILER PARKING):
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to open the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilmember Billings.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 7:40 P.M.
Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that staff is requesting consideration of a
zoning te�t amendment that would change the City Code requirements for the parking of non-
motorized camper trailers, boats, and utility trailers. In 1998, the City's systematic code
enforcement program revealed that a number of property owners were storing utility trailers and
camping trailers and boats in their front yards and on their driveways. Two variance requests
that were made in 1999 to store travel trailers in the front yard and on driveway were denied.
Mr. Hickok stated that on September 17, 2001, Council held a hearing to discuss the existing
ordinance and to allow residents to voice their opinions. Approximately 60 people spoke. The
majority of those who spoke owned camper trailers and were in favor of parking them on the
driveway seasonally. He stated that other cities have several different options regulating parking
ranging from very simple to very complicated. Fridley allows outdoor storage on the side or rear
yard for non-motorized boats, trailers and campers. Motorized RV's are required to be parked on
a paved surface and that could be the driveway. Basically there are three options. Option 1
would be to leave the ordinance as is. Non-motorized storage is allowed beside or behind the
house. Motorized storage is allowed on the driveway. Option 2 would be to repeal the existing
language in the ordinance and simply allow outdoor storage in all portions of the yard in
residential districts. This is the easiest to enforce. Option 3 would allow non-motorized storage
in the front yard on a paved service.
Mr. Hickok stated that the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed
ordinance at its meeting on January 2. The Planning Commission recommended ridding the
draft ordinance of the provision requiring that trailers not e�tend more than 25 feet in front of the
home. They suggested requiring that no portion of the trailer may be closer than 15 feet to the
back of the curb on a given lot. The motion to recommend approval passed on a 5 to 1 vote.
Changes to the language in the code would be under E�terior Storage. Staff recommended that
the proposed language for the third option be approved by the City Council and the first reading
of the ordinance be scheduled for February 11, 2002.
Ms. Donna Reisner, 6424 Pierce St. NE, asked if this would allow them to keep their camper
where it is.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that it would depend on which option was voted on.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2002 PAGE 6
Mr. Hickok stated that they looked at aerial photography of the camper for a measurement.
There is 40 to 45 feet from the front of their house to the curb. Based on those measurements,
the camper can be placed on the front driveway.
Mayor Lund asked that if Section G1 should say "motorized and non-motorized."
Mr. Hickok stated that the motorized vehicles are regulated by another portion of the code.
Mayor Lund asked if this was a deviation from the current code when people park their campers
on the side yard. He asked if they were required to put them on a hard surface.
Mr. Hickok stated that they are required only if it is motorized.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that this would be an easy option to choose because only a tape
measure would be needed to determine if there was enough room.
Mayor Lund asked if most measurements would work with the public right-of-way.
Mr. Hickok stated that rights-of-way range from 7.5 to 15 feet.
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember
Wolfe.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 7:50 P.M.
16. CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST TO DECLARE A CERTAIN PARCEL OF
CITY-OWNED REAL ESTATE SURPLUS AND TO AUTHORIZE THE SALE
THEREOF, GENERALLY LOCATED NEAR 1200 CHERI LANE N.E. (WARD
�
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember
Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 7:50 P.M.
Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that this is to a declare parcel of property
adjacent to the Skywood Apartments near 1200 Cheri Lane N.E. excess and authorize its sale.
The property is owned by Dr. Alexander Levitan. The owners of the apartment complex
improved their parking situation and inadvertently placed parking curb and gutter over the area.
This is a recommendation to approve and authorize parcel as excess property and to approve its
sale based on certain conditions. They are recommending the elimination of one parking stall
that is on the public right-of-way. There is some parking in the curb area south of the area also.
Menard's is aware of the problem.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2002 PAGE 7
Councilmember Billings asked if this parcel would be available to only one purchaser.
Mr. Hickok stated that the public hearing was being held to offer the opportunity for others to
speak.
Councilmember Billings asked if Menard's was sent notification.
Mr. Hickok stated that they had been sent notification.
Councilmember Billings asked if this was a good deal if they do not reach agreement with
Menard's regarding the little wedge of property south.
Mr. Hickok stated that it is a good deal because their circulation depends on that triangular piece
of land. If the situation with Menard's is not rectified, that is another issue with parking. This is
the optimum location in terms of curvature of the roadway and the location of the apartment
building. There may be parking issues internally to still work out.
Councilmember Billings asked if the square piece of land to the right of the triangular piece of
land was significant.
Mr. Hickok stated that it was outlined only to make a distinction between the different parcels.
There are three parcels in the legal description of the plat as well.
Councilmember Billings stated that if they do not reach agreement with Menard's, they do not
have a couple of parking stalls to deal with, they have a driveway to deal with also.
Mr. Hickok stated that was correct. The entire width of the drive is on Menard's property.
Mayor Lund stated that this is a significant encroachment on someone else's property. He does
not know how that came about.
Mr. Hickok stated that he cannot offer an answer to that.
Councilmember Billings stated that it is hard to believe it is a mere oversight.
Councilmember Barnette stated that he recalled that Menard's was not there when the parking lot
was first put in, and it has switched different owners.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember
Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 8:00 P.M.

NEW BUSINESS:
4. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ANOKA COUNTY HOUSING AND
REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY TO CARRY OUT A SPECIAL PROJECT TO
DISPOSE OF COUNTY-OWNED EXCESS RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY
LOCATED IN FRIDLEY:
Councilmember Billings asked if any properties have setbacks that are less than code allows.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that at least one was on a non-conforming lot.
Councilmember Billings asked to what e�tent it was non-conforming and why would they want
to enter into an agreement to allow a non-conforming situation to exist. He asked if that was the
reason the Anoka County Highway Department did not purchase the homes in the first place
because we would not let them buy the strip of land from the property owner and create a non-
conforming property.
Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that in each case there are setback
deficiencies. One property is short by less than half a foot with respect to the proper setback.
There was discussion about the design of the project. The City was inclined to grant a variance
based on size and Council did not see movement toward making smaller lots sizes for the City.
The County asked if the Hugo property should ask for a variance. Staff were clear the variance
would not be granted. Staff suggested that the alternative was to recognize these properties as
non-conforming and see what the market would do if they were sold.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that he is not sure it is the City's prerogative to deny use of the
property if they are non-conforming. The County Housing and Redevelopment Authority or the
County Highway Department would sell them without any restrictions on our part. The
consequence would be if the property would be destroyed by fire, they would lose the use of the
property.
Mr. Hickok stated that was true. They need to recognize non-conforming structures with
mortgage lenders and insurance companies. There are some very nice houses on these properties
that are viable.
Mr. Burns stated that they are priced so a first-time home buyer may be able to purchase them.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked what kind of protection there is for someone with low to
moderate income when they buy these lots. Are they advertised as non-conforming? Are we
doing them an injustice and can we put something in here so people are aware of that?
Mr. Hickok stated that the City could certify the non-conformities on the property but in each
case the title insurance would find and describe them. We also keep the address file to show the
deficiencies.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2002 PAGE 9
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that we need to do something to certify that they are non-
conforming. These properties are listed on the agenda but sometimes we shorten it so much that
people are not aware of the exact properties. Those properties are listed as 461 Hugo St., 8102
Fairmont Circle, 8114 Fairmont Circle, 7948 East River Road, 8180 East River Road, 8200 East
River Road, and 510 Janesville Street. Once this resolution is passed, how do people find out
about these properties?
Mr. Hickok stated that the transaction between the Anoka County Housing and Redevelopment
Authority and the Anoka County Highway Department depends on whether the HRA can do this
in Fridley. The best bet would be for interested people to contact the Anoka County HRA. The
Anoka County HRA has a package of finance opportunities for first-time home buyers.
Councilmember Billings stated that he recollects the main reason the Anoka County Highway
Department purchased these homes in the first place is was that the City of Fridley told them it
would not approve the plans for East River Road. We would not allow them to buy a portion of
the property and create non-conforming properties. They are figuring that three years later we do
not remember what we did three years ago. The Anoka County HRA cannot operate in the City
without authorization from that City, and if this is voted on it needs additional language to
indicate that something must be attached to the land records of each parcel regarding the non-
conformities.
Mr. Hickok stated that the County will recognize that properties were diminished. There is nice
housing there and they need to recognize it is non-conforming.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Hickok if he knew exactly which non-conformities were on
every address.
Mr. Hickok stated that he could tell the range that varies from a 17.25-foot side yard to a side
yard that has only inches between the house and the right-of-way edge. It ranges from that to
diminished side yards such as the one on Hugo where the edge of the right-of-way comes up to
the corner of the house. The side yard setback there is much less than a foot.
Mr. Burns asked if there was legal leverage with the County to require them to tear this home
down.
Mr. Hickok stated that he is not aware of that.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked how these are different than the other homes that were non-
conforming that were either torn down or moved out. The one on the corner of 71 st and East
River Road had a very nice house.
Mr. Hickok stated that they ended up buying the entire house and in some cases the house is
actually sitting on the public right-of-way. They have the decision to move or take the house
down. They are now trying to decide what to do.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2002 PAGE 10
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that the house on Hugo is right on the borderline. She asked if
we have some legal obligation for non-conforming homes that we are treating differently than we
have in the past?
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that there is not an affirmative duty to take down non-
conforming structures. They cannot, however, be rebuilt if they are destroyed.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she would hate to see the house destroyed but she is
concerned about someone purchasing the property unaware of the problem.
Councilmember Barnette stated that maybe this could be tabled and staff could work with the
County HRA to come up with language to protect the buyers.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that they could go back and ask them the question of why this is
different than in the past.
Mr. Hickok stated that there is a broad spectrum of options here. The City could tell the County
it is not comfortable with this and ask what needs to be done to rectify the problem. The City
could file for each one of the properties at the County offices. Owners looking at the title work
would then see the properties as non-conforming.
Mr. Burns asked if it would be possible to get the County HRA to cooperate and take some
permanent action for advertisement for potential buyers.
Mr. Hickok stated that their mission is like our's. It is fair to ask if the County would make
known all those things.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if they could table this item tonight.
Mr. Hickok stated that the County is interested in rectifying this matter as soon as possible. The
Hugo property needs to be taken care of.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to table this resolution until February 25, 2002.
Seconded by Councilmember Billings.
Mayor Lund stated that it may be better to work with the County HRA rather than just vote no to
this motion. Unsuspecting buyers may still be in the same predicament.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2002 PAGE 11
2. APPROVE COMPREHENSIVE SIGN PLAN FOR EAST RANCH ESTATES,
PHASE II, GENERALLY LOCATED AT 7610 UNIVERSITY AVENUE
N.E.(WARD 3):
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if at the current time there was only one tenant. As the tenants
come forward, there would still have to be a sign permit pulled for each area. She said council is
approving the overall signage and plan for the whole project area.
Mr. Hickok stated that was correct. Any time there are three or more tenants, there needs to be
consistency in the signage. This approval tonight would make sure that happens.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to approve the comprehensive sign plan for East Ranch
Estates, Phase II. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
17. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE UNDER SECTION 12.06 OF THE CITY
CHARTER DECLARING CERTAIN REAL ESTAE TO BE SURPLUS AND
AUTHORIZING THE SALE THEREOF (GENERALLY LOCATED NEAR 1200
CHERI LANE N.E.):
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to waive the reading and adopt the ordinance on first
reading with the following stipulations: 1. Dr. Levitan cover all filing fees associated with
transaction; 2. Parcel be combined with Dr. Levitan's existing property; 3. Dr. Levitan cover
City's costs associated with preparation of a quit claim deed; 4. 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; 5. 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. Seconded by Councilmember
Bolckom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to amend Section 4 of the ordinance as follows:
"The Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to sign the necessary contracts and
deeds to affect the sale of the above-described real estate, for $1/square foot, to the
adjacent property owner, with the following conditions:

FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2002 PAGE 12
•�be��t� Purchaser 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.
•�be��t� Purchaser 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.
•�be��t� Purchaser go through variance process to recognize sub-standard parking
setbacks."
and an addition bullet added stating:
•"The sale shall be effected by July 1, 2003."
Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Billings stated that it should be clear it is offered for sale to the adjacent
property owner, not just anyone. He has a problem naming a particular purchaser in the
ordinance. He said a time constraint was needed so that 20 years from now someone cannot
come in and say that they can buy it for $1.00 per square foot. This is a one-time offer and needs
time conditions.
Councilmember Billings stated that they need enough time to negotiate and make a business
decision. He said they may decide to get all the stuff off the right-of-way, but if they are not able
to reach a reasonable settlement with Menard's about the driveway, this will allow them some
time to reach an agreement.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked what would happen if they do not go through with the whole
purchase.
Mr. Hickok stated it is clear that the City will abate it as a nuisance issue if not rectified through
this process.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
18. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS:
Councilmember Billings stated that the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency has a proposal for
an adoption of a mixed housing development bill. He asked for an analysis of the proposal by
the ne�t Council meeting.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 28, 2002 PAGE 13
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that it is an attempt to place the burden for affordable housing
on local government.
Mr. Hickok stated they could address that topic.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked what they were going to do with the application for the vacancy
on the Planning Commission.
Mr. Burns stated that he would find out how many applicants there are.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if it was possible to review that before the ne�t meeting.
Mr. Burns stated that they could.
ADJOURN:
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to adjourn the meeting. Seconded by Councilmember
Bolkcom.
