WITH ALL T'HINGS BE1NG EQUAL THE ONLY NEW VARIABLE IS THE PROJECT BEHIND US. Until this yeaz there used to be two baseball fields with grass. Between the baseball fields and the school was a parking lot which was paved and had curbs. THAT IS ALL GONE. Now there is just exposed dirt. Appro�tely 54 truckloads of dirt were brought into the �roject to raise the level of the land to match the existing school. A holding pond was dug on the NE corner of one of the baseball fields and now the dirt is piled on the S W side of the pond. In the last two weeks we have had two rains (the last one about 2 inches). These resulted in water and silt coming into my yazd and the neighbor's. Both times the water and silt flowed to my back sidewalk and within two feet of my back steps. The last time there was so much water that it flowed between our houses. My neighbor on the left of ine (facin� my house) had water seeping into his window wells and my neighbor on the right had water flowing into his backyazd and around his garage into the street. My neighbor, Mr. Tom Bard, and I had to dig a trench between our houses and out to the front yard and to my driveway to prevent water getting inta our houses. As a result the water and silt went into Gardena Circle and then down Gardena Lane to the storm sewer. This water and silt is from the project since our soil is black dirt and clay. THE RCWD REQUIRES A SOPHISTICATED STORM WATER MANAGEMENT SYS1'EM to be constructed beneath a new pazking lot, which I understand will not happen until neart yeaz. WHAT HAPPENS IN THE MEANTIME WITH MORE RAIN THIS FALL AND THEN NEXT SPRING WHEN THE SNOW MELTS ON THE FROZEN GROUND??? Sinee water seeks its lowest level my neighbors and I will have a major flooding problem, ESPECIALLY IN THE SPRING OF 2007. We need someone to BUILD A BERM or a WATER HOLDING AREA, or to SLOPE THE AREA away from our properties and it needs to be done NOW. A 28 year resident and taxpayer, Donald R. Lewis �� ' ��� � �� C!�-1,l.�lLjc.� � � � ���� lD� . Date: 9-11-06 To: Fridley City Council From: Thomas A. Bard, resident 6003 Gardena Circle, Fridley 55432 (763) 535-222 Re: Al-Amal School Building site water issues Mr. Mayor and Respected Members, On Sunday, September 3`�, 2006, I encountered a significant pooling of water in the southeast corner of my property. I also had minimal wa.ter into the house, thanks largely to two pumps and the ditch digging efforts of my neighbor and myself. Though we've had torrential rains before, (most notably, September 21�, 2005) I have never before experienced any such problems on my property. I believe that the cause of the problem stems from an unfavorable grade on the Al-Amal building site. (Please, see pictures enclosed) I understand that this is a work in progress, and that a�cidents may occur; however, my concern is that with the large amounts of fill dirt that have been imported to the site, the grade of the existing pmperty will be altered significantly. My immediate concern is that if we have another heavy rainfall or snow thaw, I will be in a similaz predicament. I am not against the building project. I simply request that the city eval�ate the on- going sta.tus of the project and provide so�nie assistance in rectifying the immediate issue, as well as any residual problems that may arise, up to the completion of the project. I welcome any assistance or advice on this matter. Thank you for your consideration, � l� `� G� Thomas A.

Resolution Certifying Proposed Tax Levy Requirements for 2007 to the County of Anoka. William Burns, City Manager, stated current Minnesota Statutes require that we do this annually prior to September 15. The operating portion of this year's proposed levy is $9,002,390, or 2.8% greater than the 2006 levy for operations. The portion of the levy for GO Improvement Bonds is $198,036. This brings the total proposed levy for 2007 to $9,200,426. Staff recommends Council's approval. ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 2006-49. 3. Resolution Adopting the Proposed Budget for the Fiscal Year 2007. William Burns, City Manager, stated Minnesota statutes also require that we approve our preliminary budget for the ensuing year prior to September 15. The total amount budgeted is $17,896,686, or 2.5% less than we budgeted for 2006. The amount includes a 3.7% increase for the General Fund. Council will give further review to the 2007 budget at their October 17 conference session. At that time, Council may subtract from, but not add to the preliminary property tax levy.

ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA: MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to approve the agenda with the addition of Items 1 and 5. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. OPEN FORUM (VISITORS): Peter Eisenzimmer, 6535 Oakley Drive, asked how many raises Council receives each year. Mayor Lund replied that one raise a year is offered and it is usually a cost-of-living increase. Mr. Eisenzimmer questioned if an increase will be given each year. William Burns, City Manager, replied that it tends to be an annual request, but Council does not always accept the increase in pay. The object of the raise is to keep our City Council mainstream with other City Councils. Mr. Eisenzimmer stated that an elected official should not get a raise each year as this is a part- time job. Councilmember Wolfe asked if Mr. Eisenzimmer knew what the councilmember were paid. Mr. Eisenzimmer stated that he did know the salaries as they were published. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2006 PAGE 4 Councilmember Barnette stated he has gone five years with no raise, but the past three years there has been a cost-of-living increase in salary along with City staff. Councilmember Wolfe stated he has received three raises since he has been on the Council. Councilmember Bolkcom invited the public to attend Art in the Park at Rice Creek at the Banfill-Locke Center. This event will be held on Sunday, September 10 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. There will be free activities, artists, music, poetry, food, etc., for all ages. NEW BUSINESS: 5. Resolution Authorizin� Staff to Proceed with the Process of Establishin� a Quiet Zone in the Citv of Fridlev. Don Abbot, Public Safety Director, presented information regarding a Quiet Zone. Federal Law requires engineers of railroad locomotives to sound their horns upon approach to every grade level crossing. Federal rules provide for a process whereby local jurisdictions can designate a Quiet Zone. A Quiet Zone is an area up to 1/2 mile in length where all crossings within that Quiet Zone are then covered by an order from the Federal Railroad Administration. This is an order telling the engineers not to blow their horns unless there are some circumstances or dangers. Residents in close proximity to the Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railway (BNSF) crossing at Osborne Road and 77th Avenue NE have voiced their desire to implement a Quiet Zone covering these two crossings to improve their quality of life. Complaints include having to put telephone conversations on hold because the train whistle is too loud and children crying because of the loud noise. The rail traffic on the BNSF inain line has approximately doubled in the past 15 years. An increase from about 30 trains per day to about 60 trains currently. Northstar Commuter Rail is expected to add 12 trains per day beginning in 2009. The City has been considering a Quiet Zone for the past three years. The new Federal rule covering quiet zones was implemented in July of 2005 following a moratorium on new Quiet Zone creation while the final rule was updated. Mr. Abbot stated that Northstar Commuter Rail was expected to result in the addition of a third BNSF track along side the two already in place. This change would substantially alter our two Quiet Zone crossings. The City decided to wait for Northstar-related changes and construction to create our Quiet Zone. Quiet Zones require the implementation or construction of supplemental safety measures that included crossings to maintain or enhance safety in the absence of train horns. The FRA has created a safety index for every grade crossing in the country. They look at past accident history, train traffic, street traffic, what current safety measures are in place, etc., and they assign a numerical value for safety at every crossing. Mr. Abbot said the initial estimates for the cost of the installation of the supplemental safety measures were up to $400,000. The top end option would be to add four quadrant gates. The final agreement between the Northstar Commuter Rail and BNSF from June of this year does not include the third track Therefore no changes to the existing crossings are needed. Based on this information, staff began to move ahead with final research into a Quiet Zone. Staff inet with representatives of the FRA, MnDOT, and BNSF on August 4 to conduct a diagnostic evaluation FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2006 PAGE 5 of our Quiet Zone. The results of the diagnostic evaluation showed that raised concrete medians would be our best choice. The good news is that they cost less than four quadrant gates and yet they yield the best safety scores. Also medians offer the ability to maintain our Quiet Zone during future reviews. The FRA would review the Quiet Zone every five years. If at sometime in the future a third main line is added, the median would be able to maintain safety at the crossings in such a way that the Quiet Zone could be continued. Concrete medians are recommended to be 100 feet in length, 4 feet in width and 8 inches in height. By losing the train horns and with the addition of the medians, evidence shows crossing safety would improve for both pedestrians and vehicles. Mr. Abbot stated that three properties are expected to have their driveway access limited by medians; Johnson Printing at 77th Avenue NE, Sentinel Chemical at 77th Avenue NE, and the Schmidt Osborne Building at 100-148 Osborne Road. All three of these property owners have been contacted, and staff is continuing to work with them to minimize any impact that may result from the medians. One resident at 90 Osborne Road may be affected. Anoka County Highway is the road authority for Osborne Road and they will have to approve our plans. 77th Avenue NE is a City street so we just need City approval. Cost estimates at this point, pending final engineering and County approval are $65,000. He reviewed the timetable for the project: Engineering and Planning — Winter 2006-2007 Notifications to and meetings with affected property owners — Fa112006 Negotiations with Anoka County — Fall and Winter 2006-2007 Funding authority requested of Council — Winter/Spring 2007 Construction — Spring and Summer 2007 60- Day Notification and Comment Period per FRA — Summer 2007 Implementation of Quiet Zone — Late Summer/Fa112007 Mr. Abbot stated that Staff has prepared a draft resolution for Council consideration. This resolution would authorize and direct staff to proceed with the Quiet Zone process by authorizing planning and engineering, directing staff to continue to work with the affected property owners to minimize impacts to their properties, and directing staff to continue working with Anoka County to ensure plan approval while minimizing additional requirements that the County would have in the resulting costs. Maintaining or enhancing public safety at the crossing is the top priority. This resolution does not include a funding component. Staff will return to Council for funding authorization and final approval of the Quiet Zone process following the engineering and planning process. Staff recommends Council's approval. Councilmember Bolkcom commented that she has received several inquiries regarding a Quiet Zone. One comment was the Quiet Zone will still have noise due to the engines, etc. Mr. Abbot replied the concern is of the safety of the crossing itsel£ With the research from the Coon Rapids Quiet Zone, adding medians there resulted in a decrease in the number of vehicles that operated around the gates when there were in the down position. In a three-month study period prior to median installation, there were 5 to 10 vehicles per month driving around the crossings. In the three months after the Quiet Zone installation, there was only one vehicle that drove over the median and that was a DUI driver that was arrested. The safety of the crossings is FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2006 PAGE 6 likely to improve. It is correct that train horns are only one part of the noise of the train, but the horn is the loudest and carries the furthest. Councilmember Bolkcom asked Dr. Burns to comment on Anoka County's concerns. William Burns, City Manager, stated that the prospect for getting additional openings from the County is not good. The County does not want additional access points onto their County roads. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she received an inquiry regarding the gates failing to come down when a train is coming. Mr. Abbot replied that typically when the gates malfunction, they are in the downward position. He did not recall a time when the gates have failed in the up position. If this does happen, it would be very rare. Councilmember Barnette asked who will fund the cost. Mr. Abbot replied that sources for the funding have been discussed and the Minnesota State Aid Street Fund will help with the cost. Additional funding could include the City Street Improvement Budget. Councilmember Barnette encouraged those interested to check out the Quiet Zone in Coon Rapids on Hanson and Egret. Mayor Lund stated that this Quiet Zone will improve the quality of life for those residents living in this area. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to submit presentation materials from Mr. Abbott regarding the Quiet Zone into the record. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that he received a call from Joan Olson objecting to City staff spending time on this project. She felt that their time could be spent better elsewhere. He asked if her comment could be made part of the record. Mayor Lund stated that this is not a public hearing and she will have an opportunity to voice her opinion in the future. Her name will be added to the list of those who want to be contacted as the work on this item proceeds. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that there are more than a dozen people who will be affected by the Quiet Zone. During National Night Out, at more than one neighborhood meeting, they had to stop talking because of the train whistles. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to adopt Resolution No. 2006-52. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2006 PAGE 7 Councilmember Bolkcom asked if an email could be sent out to those on the list with updates, and if she could get a copy of the email. MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to remove item number 9, Consider revocation of Special Use Permit SP #89-08, for Sam's Auto World from the table. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. PUBLIC HEARING: 9. Consider Revocation of Special Use Permit, SP #89-08, for Sam's Auto World, Generally Located at 7570 Hi�hwav 65 NE (Ward 2) (Continued Au�ust 14, 2005). Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that this business is located at 7570 Highway 65 and is zoned M-1, Light Industrial. The site contains an auto repair business called Sam's Auto World. The business fronts on Highway 65 south of Osborne Rd. Fridley Terrace is to the south. On November 18, 1991, SP #89-08 was reassigned to the owners of Sam's Auto World. In 1992, City Council considered revocation of SP #89-08 for paving and screening outside storage issues. The business owner complied with stipulations and the City ceased the revocation process. Past problems have included high grass, outside storage, and unauthorized signs. Last year there was an incident of an employee living in a semi-trailer on site. This year's problems involved business vehicle parking in the right of way, selling cars without a dealer's license from the State, and operating an automobile salvage/junk yard without a special use permit to do so. The business owner tried to sell cars on this site in the 1990s. In 1999, the owner withdrew a rezoning application and instead purchased a C-2 property. Mr. Hickok stated that about two years ago the owner sold A& E Auto Sales, but had leftover inventory. Staff received complaints that the owner was continuing to sell vehicles without proper zoning. Samir Awaijane asked the State for time to liquidate his inventory from the sale of his Osborne site. The State Licensing Unit gave Awaijane a date in late 2005 to have the cars liquidated. Mr. Awaijane requested an auto leasing license to allow auto "loaners" for body shop customers. Staff approved State Lessor Dealer's License for 9 vehicles (4 family and 5 loaner vehicles). Since that time, the Department of Public Safety investigated and determined there were violations and outside storage above the fence height. Section 205.17.7.D, screening requires items to be stored no higher than 2 feet below the fence line. Despite being aware of the inability to sell cars in an M-1 zoning district, Samir Awaijane has violated City Code and the State Dealer's License regulations. Mr. Hickok said there were 23 vehicles listed on Mr. Awaijane dealer's license. Another list showed 14 vehicles listed to A& E Auto Sales. The vehicles were to be liquidated to 4 family and 5 loaner vehicles. The owner of this property has continued to buy damaged vehicles from insurance companies and resell them. Purchases as early as December of 2005, and sold retail in the very recent past. Last week staff observed about a dozen vehicles on site which is in excess of the 9 that the license allows. Mr. Awaijane has operated a junk yard with out a special use FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2006 PAGE 8 permit. Mr. Awaij ane has continued to violate various City ordinances. Staff recommends that the City Council take action on September 11, 2006, to revoke Special Use Permit, SP #89-08, for lack of compliance with stipulations of said permit, which states he must operate garage in a law-abiding manner. MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to accept the 14 pages of supporting documentation into the records. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Attorney Carson, Mr. Awaijane's Attorney, said he had prepared a memorandum on behalf of Mr. Awaij ane, and asked that it be admitted into the record. MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to admit Attorney Carson's memorandum and supporting documents in to the record. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Attorney Carson obj ected to the receipt of any information or documents he has not seen. Anything that was not seen for the original public hearing, he would not be prepared to address tonight. Mayor Lund asked for clarification. Attorney Carson sated that the list of violations he received did not contain everything spoken about tonight. An example was that Mr. Awaijane was operating a junkyard without a permit. This was not on the claim of August 7, and he would not be prepared to discuss that issue. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if Mr. Carson had been in contact with City staff before tonight's meeting. It was her understanding that no one attended the last meeting. Attorney Carson stated he did review the tape and met with staff. He stated that notification was given to Mr. Awaij ane in a timely manner. Mr. Awaij ane was not aware that it was the intent of the paperwork to remove his ability to work on cars. Mr. Awaijane was just then aware that the City was not only going to remove the permit for him to sell cars but also the ability for him to work on cars. Mr. Carson stated that Mr. Awaijane has been a resident of the City of Fridley for 23 years and has been operating this business since 1991. The information packet distributed to the Councilmember's was history of the recent happenings including a permit from the State, a copy of the special use permit, a copy of the actual permit, approval of the zone for special sales, and the State Statue permitting the sale of the lease vehicles. It is true if the vehicles are sold within the first 120 days of ownership, a tax would need to be paid on the vehicle sale. The current charge from the City of Fridley is for a failure to operate business in a peaceful and law abiding way. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2006 PAGE 9 Attorney Carson stated that Mr. Bob Becker is Mr. Awaijane bookkeeper and the person in charge of obtaining the permit for Mr. Awaijane. Mr. Becker has had direct conversation with Mr. Peltier who was the State representative involved with this permit. It is not the case that the State is coming after Mr. Awaijane to remove the permit nor has Mr. Awaijane been presented with any citations. Mr. Awaijane has paid the tax on the vehicles that were sold before the 120 days. Every problem that has occurred with this business has been related to the sale of vehicles. Mr. Awaijane has agreed that within 60 days of tonight's date, he will remove all the sale vehicles from the property, give up the permit to lease and sell vehicles, and simply operate his business as a body shop. Most of the violations that have occurred were corrected in a timely manner. The State does not claim that the sale of vehicles prior to 120 days causes the permit to be in jeopardy. Mr. Becker, Mr. Awaijane's bookkeeper, stated that he has a 25-year history of running a leasing company in Burnsville. When Mr. Awaij ane decided to sell the dealership, A& E Auto Sales, they had a conversation on what to do with the cars and what he intended to do with his business. Mark Peltier is the State License Inspector. When we moved locations, we notified the State of the move to maintain the used car license. We knew we could not get zoned as a used car dealer so Mr. Peltier and I discussed the idea of the leasing license. This helped in disposing of the inventory but in the meantime the bills also needed to be paid. Sam's business was to buy salvage cars, repair them and put them on the used car lot for sale. That doesn't help the body shop business when your number one customer is yourself. It has taken a while to get into the public view as a body shop. That is where the cash crunch and cash flow come from. He is now building up this business and increasing the cash flow. Councilmember Billings asked for clarification. Mr. Becker indicated that the primary business for a period of time was purchasing vehicles, rehabilitating them and reselling them. He questioned if that part of the business is still going on today. Mr. Becker replied that Sam still buys an occasional parts car to repair something that has been damaged. But most of the vehicles in inventory are at least 6 to 8 months old. Councilmember Billings asked how many vehicles have been purchased, reconditioned and put out for sale since November of 2005. Mr. Becker answered about a dozen. Councilmember Billings commented that on Exhibit C, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety form that Mr. Awaijane brought to the City of Fridley to sign off for the zoning for the leasing license, it states no more than 4 Awaij ane vehicles plus 5 loaner vehicles for customers, for a total of 9 vehicles. He asked what that was supposed to mean. Attorney Carson answered it was his belief that the stock would be reduced to 9 vehicles. At the time that this form was issued, there were more vehicles than 9 on the lot. Mr. Awaijane knows selling vehicles cannot be part of his business and he is volunteering to get rid of the vehicles to do body repair only. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2006 PAGE 10 Councilmember Billings stated that he understood Mr. Becker stating that they were still buying, repairing and selling vehicles, about 2 a month. Attorney Carson stated that is not supposed to be happening. Councilmember Billings asked about Items A and A1 from Mr. Carson's material. It states that this area must be screened and the storage area is for the wrecked vehicles. The owner is stripping parts and storing parts in the area as well. This area was intended to be fenced so the public cannot see the wrecked vehicles. This is what makes the area look like an auto recycling center. These parts are being used for fixing and reselling vehicles. In a body shop, an owner would go to the store and buy the new part that is needed. If you strip parts from cars to repair vehicles, how do you control invoices and know what to charge the customer? Attorney Carson replied that the public hearing for the revocation did not talk about this item. Councilmember Billings replied that the reason for a public hearing is to gather all the information possible regarding the agenda item. The public hearing is relative to what is going on at the site that is connected to the Special Use Permit. Mr. Awaijane, owner of Sam's Auto Parts, stated that parts that are stripped from cars for repair will not happen any more because there will be no license to purchase cars. He stated that he does not run a junk yard and sell parts. The reason he was renovating cars in the past was to keep employees working. No notice was received from the City regarding cars being stored up too high. The storage is way in the back of the building and cannot be seen from the front street. If anyone had told him it was too high, he would have lowered the cars. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if Mr. Awaijane was aware of the stipulations that went along with the Special Use Permit. Mr. Awaijane said he was not aware that it was against the law to store the vehicles that high. Attorney Carson stated that Mr. Awaijane probably remembers receiving the stipulations back in 1991 but was not referring to them in the recent past. Councilmember Bolkcom asked whose responsibility it was to make sure the stipulations are adhered to, the owner of the property or the City? Even though the City did not contact him, it is the owner's responsibility to follow the stipulations. Attorney Carson agreed that it is the owner's responsibility to follow the stipulations. The history of the property has been that if something was not correct, he would get a notice and correct the problem. It is the obligation of the property owner to take care of the property. If Mr. Awaijane liquidates his inventory in 60 days, he will totally get out of the sale of vehicles and just operate his business as a body shop. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2006 PAGE 11 Mayor Lund stated that Mr. Awaijane has had since November of 2005 to liquidate his inventory and there are still violations reoccurring. Mr. Awaij ane admitted sales are slow so it may be hard to liquidate the vehicles in 60 days. Attorney Carson agreed that it hasn't worked to sell cars on the market. Given Mr. Awaijane's history and long-term residence, he has operated a good business with the exception to selling cars. Councilmember Barnette asked for confirmation that in 60 days there would be no more than 9 cars on the lot. Attorney Carson answered that is not correct. After 60 days there would be no cars for sale. There would be no cars on the lot except for vehicles owned by people who are working there. Councilmember Wolfe asked if he was correct in assuming that if Mr. Awaijane gets what he wants tonight, there would be no more cars for sale after 60 days. Mr. Hickok commented that if Mr. Awaijane agrees to liquidate the inventory in 60 days and no longer sells cars, that would mean the owner is taking a step in the right direction. The car sales have been a big issue with this business, but they would also need to adhere to the stipulations. There is on-going code enforcement and they should not wait for a violation notice to correct things. A lot of staff time has been devoted to this site. The owner needs to operate to the confines of the stipulations and know what is acceptable. The auto body operation will go away if the stipulations are not followed. Attorney Carson asked for one more visit from staff so within the 60 days they can liquidate the inventory and bring the business up to code. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that the Council does not want to put Mr. Awaijane out of business, but wants him to abide with the City ordinances like other business owners. City staff can do a better job at looking at all the special use permits, but staff does not have the time to visit each site to check for violations. It is the owner's responsibility to abide by the stipulations and run their business properly to City Code. Attorney Carson agreed with Councilmember Bolkcom and stated that they will get to work. Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Knaak how to proceed with this public hearing. Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, advised to close the public hearing. Staff can be directed to prepare a resolution to approve or reissue the special use permit subject to certain points and rules. Conditions currently existing on site could be reiterated with additional terms. Mayor Lund asked if it would be simpler to continue this hearing in 60 days for review. Mr. Knaak answered that if there is need for an additional public hearing, it would be fine. This is not an action item, so it will need to be placed on the agenda in the future to continue. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2006 PAGE 12 Councilmember Bolkcom stated that it seemed simpler to close the public hearing and bring it to the next meeting. Mr. Knaak stated that if the owner has 60 days to clean up the area, it could be part of the resolution to adopt at the next meeting. Councilmember Wolfe questioned when the 60 days would start if they do not vote on the item tonight. Mr. Knaak stated that they would not need to wait for formal action on the item to start the 60 days. MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 9:05 P.M. Councilmember Billings commented that just because the offer was 60 days to liquidate the inventory does not mean that they need to be granted 60 days. If the item is not voted on until Sept. 11, Council could give them 45 days. It will be up to staff and Council as to how many days are granted to clean up the site. Mayor Lund stated that there may be a different amount of days available to clean up the site, but probably 60 days from today. Attorney Carson answered that they are willing to start clean up tomorrow. NEW BUSINESS: 10. Resolution Declarin� a Question to be Placed on the Ballot at the Next Re�ular Municipal Election, to Increase Water, Storm Water and Sanitary Sewer Rates in Excess of the Inflationarv index or 5%, Whichever is Less as Required bv Section 7.02 of the Fridlev Citv Charter. Mr. Pribyl, City Treasurer, stated that this resolution identifies the ballot language that will appear on the ballot at the next regular municipal election if approved by at least 4/5 vote of Council. In order to ensure the question is placed on the November ballot, the resolution must be adopted no later than September 11, 2006, to meet the election requirements. This increase and the inflationary portion of the rate increase are estimated to cost an average consumer in Fridley (18,000 gallons/quarter) a total of approximately $42.00 per year. The public hearing notice was published in the Fridley Sun-Focus on July 27, August 3 and August 10, as required by the Charter and the public hearing was held on August 14, 2006. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2006 PAGE 13 Mr. Pribyl stated that the question would be stated in the following form: The City is required to run the water, sanitary sewer, and storm water operations like a business. Due to the City Charter limitation on rate increases, the operations lost approximately $500, 000 in 2005. The City expects similar or gr�eater losses in 2006 and beyond unless these rates are raised as follows: Water —16 cents per 1, 000 gallons used; Sanitary Sewer — 32 cents per 1, 000 gallons of water used; and Storm Water —13 cents per quarter per residential property. Do you approve the utility rate increases listed above that are needed to bring revenues even with expenses? Staff recommends a motion adopting the resolution. Councilmember Bolkcom questioned what the loss would be if this resolution was not approved. Mr. Pribyl answered that approximately $620,000 would be lost in 2007. Mr. Eisenzimmer, 6535 Oakley Drive, asked how the question will be stated on the ballot. Mr. Pribyl answered that the ballot would be stated exactly as it is on the resolution. The portion that is in italics will be on the ballot. Emma Rose, 1241 Norton Avenue, questioned the last Council meeting minutes. She indicated that in the third paragraph on Page 16, it reads the utility rate would need to be brought before the voters to approve a monthly $10 increase. But on the cover letter for the item tonight it states it would be a total of approximately $42.00 a year. The minutes should be changed to quarterly $10 increase. The other question was what the increase would be for senior citizens. Mr. Pribyl answered the minutes should be changed to $10.00 a quarter increase. The senior citizen rate would be proportionate to what it is now. Mr. Eisenzimmer questioned if this increase would happen every year or if this was just a one- time request. Mayor Lund replied that the increase request comes forward when they feel there is a need to increase rates. Under Charter rules, they would bring the request to the voters. Councilmember Wolfe stated that they would only increase what the City would need in order to pay the bills. Dr. Burns stated that this issue on the ballot would establish the rates for 2007 and 2008. Mr. Pribyl stated that they were looking at a split rate, but they decided to just have one increase. At this point they have used the inflationary rate through 2008 to match revenue with expenses. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 28, 2006 PAGE 14 Mr. Eisenzimmer asked where the funding comes for holding ponds. Mayor Lund replied that some funds come from sewer and water and State aid.

First Readin� of an Ordinance for a Text Amendment, TA #06-02, bv the Citv of Fridlev, to Amend Chapter 6 of the Fridlev Citv Code to Substitute Members for the Appeals Commission. Councilmember Billings asked how many members were on the Planning Commission. Mr. Hickok answered that there is one chair person and three commissioners at large and three commissions for a total of 7. Councilmember Billings asked for staff to review the entire chapter for inconsistencies. It would be an appropriate time to clean up the language throughout the chapter. Mr. Hickok agreed that this would be a good time to clean up the chapter. This is a City- initiated action. Councilmember Billings asked how many times in the past there were problems. Mr. Hickok replied that in the 13 years he has been employed by the City, there were three to four times Appeals Commission meetings needed to be cancelled due to no quorum. Councilmember Billings suggested that someone be appointed to take over the Planning Commission Chair designee in the event that the Chair is not available. Mr. Hickok agreed and said that one of the conclusions that arose was to have the Chair appoint someone in their absence. Councilmember Billings stated that one of the duties of the Planning Commission is to choose a Vice Chair annually. Maybe the chair or associate chair could serve this purpose and then a designee would not need to be appointed. MOTION Councilmember Billings to table the first reading of an Ordinance a Text Amendment, TA #06-02, by the City of Fridley, to Amend Chapter 6 of the Fridley City Code to Substitute Members for the Appeals Commission.

Informal Status Reports: William Burns, City Manager, requested to make a correction on his consent agenda presentation. He stated that the conference session for the budget was October 17 and it is actually October 16. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that the street project from last year has had sod problems. A fair amount of people are having problems with their sod. Central Landscaping is only under obligation for 30 days to take care of the sod. It was inspected in May and they were to go back to Central Landscaping for resolution. She has not seen so much sod fail in the time she has been on the Council. Possibly Central Landscaping should check what is underneath the sod. In the areas she has checked, there were rocks and dirt under the sod. Possibly the City Manager could discuss this matter with Mr. Haukaas and come back at the next meeting with a resolution for the residents. Councilmember Barnette stated that 3 to 4 residents in the current street proj ect are having the same kind of problems with sod being installed on top of rocks etc. It would be a good idea to research this item. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that three driveways are still not resolved. At least two of the driveways definitely have inferior product. They have a lot of pits and defects. This is not acceptable work for our City residents. ADJOURN: MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to adjourn. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, COMMISSIONER KUECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNAMINOUSLY. PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration of a Vacation, SAV #06-01, by Brenk Properties, LLC, to vacate a drainaqe and utility easement which runs east and west between Lots 2& 3, of Friendly Chevrolet Addition, to allow the expansion of their business, qenerally located at 7490 Central Avenue NE. MOTION by Commissioner Saba, seconded by Commissioner Johns, to open the public hearing. UPON A UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, COMMISSIONER KUECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 7:32 P.M. Ms. Stromberg, City Planner, presented a request from the petitioner, Pat Pastoors, of Brenk Properties LLC, who is seeking to vacate two 5 ft. drainage and utility easements that run along the west and east property lines of Lots 2 and 3 of the Friendly Chevrolet Addition. The petitioner's existing business is located on Lot 2, at 7490 Central Avenue and he also owns Lot 3 directly north and vacant, at 7500 Central Avenue. The petitioner is proposing to vacate these drainage and utility easements to allow the expansion of his building. Ms. Stromberg stated that the subject parcels are located on the corner of Fireside Drive and Central Avenue. Both of the properties are zoned M-1, Light Industrial. The original 211 ft. by 144 ft. (30,384 square foot) building at 7490 Central Avenue was constructed in 1978. Brenk Brothers acquired the building in 1994. Ms. Stromberg reviewed that in 1999, Fridley Chevrolet, which is located directly west of the subject properties, received City Council approval to plat their lot and the subject properties. This plat allowed the creation of 3 separate lots; an 8.87 acre lot for Friendly Chevrolet, a 3.32 acre lot for Brenk Brothers, and a vacant lot of 2.18 acres, which Brenk Brothers owns. At the time of the plat approval, Brenk Brothers created a separate lot for the vacant parcel to potentially sell it off if they didn't need it to expand their building. When lots are platted in Fridley, it is common practice to obtain easements for the purposes of drainage and utilities. Therefore, when this plat was approved, a 5 ft. drainage and utility easement was dedicated on the side and rear lot lines and a 30 ft. easement was dedicated along the front lot lines. Ms. Stromberg stated that since receiving plat approval, the petitioner has decided to expand his business by constructing a 29,962 square foot addition, which is essentially doubling the size of the existing structure. In order for the building to be expanded, the petitioner needs to combine lots 2 and 3 with Anoka County and seek the proposed vacation request. The petitioner has submitted the necessary paperwork to have lots 2 and 3 combined with Anoka County and is seeking this request to vacate the 5 ft. easements. Ms. Stromberg stated that there are no utilities located within the two 5 ft. easement areas and when the property was platted a joint pond was constructed on the west side of the subject properties to help prevent any drainage concerns. The proposed expansion has been reviewed and approved by the City's engineering, planning and building staff and a building permit has been issued and construction has started. City Staff recommends approval of this vacation request. Commissioner Kuechle questioned if the petitioner had any questions or anything to add to the presentation. Jeff Brenk, Brenk Bros Inc., stated he had nothing to add to the presentation. Commissioner Kuechle questioned when they expect to occupy the building. Mr. Brenk answered that if everything goes as planned, they should be in the building by the end of October. MOTION by Commissioner Oquist, seconded by Commissioner Johns, to close the public hearing.

Burns, City Manager Paul Bolin, Assistant Director of HRA SUBJECT: Consider HRA Tax Levy for Taxes Payable in 2007 Since 1996, the HRA has utilized a tax levy to help support its housing rehabilitation programs. The levy is equal to .0144% of the taxable market value of all real estate and personal property in the City. The 2007 tax levy will allow the Authority to collect approximately $347,053. In terms of the impact on taxpayers, the levy would cost $28.80 per year for a home valued at $200,000 and $144.00 per year for a commercial property valued at $1,000,000. This tax levy was originally implemented to help fund the HRA's revolving loan program. In 1997, the City made a loan of $1.5 million to the HRA to capitalize the loan fund. In turn, the tax levy was used to make the debt service payments. The principal balance of the loan is now $415,907. State Statutes require the consent of the City Council, prior to the tax levy becoming effective. As a final note, the HRA tax levy must be certified to the County Auditor by September 15, 2006. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council consent to the attached resolution approved by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority at their regular meeting on September 7, 2006.

Haukaas, Public Works Director September 11, 2006 PW06-057 SUBJECT: Resolution — School District Request for Parking Restrictions on Talmadge Way Duane Knealing of the Fridley School District has requested that the City restrict parking in the Talmadge Way west cul-de-sac. This cul-de-sac is of a substandard size due to the right of way constraints and buses cannot turn around if anything is parked on the street in this area. It is actually difficult to turn any large vehicle around when parking exists. There is a handicapped child in the area who needs to be picked up at her home rather than walking down the street to be picked up at the intersection. Although the handicapped accessible bus that will be traveling this route is not a full size 66 passenger bus, there is still not room to turn around in the cul-de-sac if any vehicles are there. The alternative is to back the bus several hundred feet to the intersection until it can pull out forward. This is not desirable due to the safety problems it creates. The proposed parking restrictions are between 7 am and 4 pm Monday through Friday only. This would be year round due to summer school activities. As this is a request from the School District rather than a petition from the neighborhood, staff felt it was appropriate that the City Council act upon this through a Resolution rather than through a simple motion. Letters to the three properties directly affected by this parking restriction were mailed out on September 1, 2006 informing them of this proposed Council action and explaining they will have an opportunity to comment on it at the September 11, 2006 Council meeting.

City of Fridley, Petitioner, seeks to replat the properties located at 151 Glen Creek Road and a city-owned lot directly south of Glen Creek Road to better define right-of-way boundaries. As a part of the 2005 street reconstruction proj ect in this neighborhood, curb and gutter are being installed on Glen Creek Road. The Glen Creek Road area does not have sufficient right-of-way in certain areas to construct the proposed typical street section. As a result the road is being slightly widened. Because of the street construction project the City is cleaning up improper lot lines. The current right-of way map does not match the existing location of the road. By later Council action, the Public Works Director hopes to trade excess right-of-way with adj acent property owners for right-of-way easement that is needed for the widening of the service road. Adj acent property owners, the Crafts at 145 Logan Parkway, are supportive of the land swap proposed. PAST COUNCIL ACTION At the July 25, 2005, City Council meeting the preliminary plat was approved.

As a part of the 2005 street reconstruction proj ect in the northwest part of the city, the Public Works Director has discovered a need to clarify right of way boundaries along a service drive from Ely Street to Liberty Street along the railroad tracks. The replat is of City owned property located in the public right-of-way service drive and property located at 160 Ely Street and 160 Liberty Street, which is owned by a business at 160 Ely Street and 160 Liberty Street. The replat will correct right of way lines resulting from a slightly widened service drive and allow for the land swap. The Public Works Director hopes to trade excess right-of-way with adjacent property owners in exchange for land that is needed for the widening of the service road. The owners of 160 Ely Street and 160 Liberty Street are supportive of the land swap proposed. It will allow them to expand property square footage, and as a result, the owners may be able to expand the building square footage in the way they wanted. City Staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the final plat request, PS #OS-07. PAST COUNCIL ACTION At the July 25, 2005, City Council meeting, the preliminary plat was approved.

The contract is an agreement in writing of the duties, funding, and obligations for the School Resource Officers. For the upcoming 2006 - 2007 school year, the Fridley Police Department has committed to furnishing two police officers to Fridley Independent School District #14. One will be assigned to the Fridley High School, and the other will be assigned to the Fridley Middle School.

The 2006 - 2007 contract is attached and was signed by Public Safety Director pon Abbott and School Superintendent Mark Robertson. The only change to the new contract is the funding required for the two School Resource Officers increased for the school district. In 2005 - 2006 the amount was $60,778. In 2006-2007 the amount of the contract is for $62,602 which is a 3% COLA increase from last year. This contract was read and approved by Fridley City Attorney Fritz Knaak This year's contract language has not changed, except for the salaries and benefits for the officers. While the School District is paying for one half of the officers assigned to the schools, the Public Safety Director maintains control over the officers' assignments and duties.

Since initiation of the hearing, Samier Awaijane has agreed to surrender his State license to lease/sell automobiles and he has also agreed to bring his property into conformance with SP # 89-08. Recent History On August 28, 2006, Council continued its public hearing and heard from Jeff Carson, Attorney for Mr. Awaijane. Mr. Carson indicated that that he personally had visited the site and understands that there are issues. As he understood the case the issues primarily center on the sale of automobiles. As a result, Mr. Carson was willing to concede on behalf of his client, Mr. Awaijane, that the State Lease License would be surrendered to the State after 60 days. With this solution, his client would agree to no car sales or leasing on his site after that 60 day period. In the 60 days between now and the time he would surrender his lease license, he also indicated his client would liquidate his entire inventory. Council asked that staff determine the appropriate resolution for this matter based on the offer to surrender all State sales licenses as proposed by Mr. Carson. Staff indicated that surrendering the license would go a long way toward compliance, however, a review of other outstanding violations would have to be completed to assure that as we move forward that there would be no outstanding issues outside of automobile sales. On Thursday, September 7, 2006, staff inet with Samier Awaijane, Attorney Jeff Carson, and Bookkeeper Bob Becker. The purpose of the meeting was to walk the site at 7570 Hwy 65 and examine specific areas of the site and determine acceptable resolutions for any inconsistencies that may exist between current conditions and the original S.U.P. requirements. Enormous progress had been made towards compliance. Beyond volume of vehicles to be liquidated, the biggest issue is the storage area south of the two buildings. Since our Meeting on August 28, 2006, Samier Awaijane has had his staff removing stored materials, rebuilding shelving units to lower the overall height of potential storage areas, and repairing broken portions of the fence that was originally installed for screening. Mr. Awaijane intends to have the entire site organized and improper storage eliminated within the next couple weeks. Recommendation Staff recommends that Council take no action on the revocation of SP #89-08 at this time. Further, staff recommends that Council set on record November 15t'', 2006, as the final date in which the City will allow a state license for auto leasing at 7570 Hwy 65. A letter will be sent to the State, by staff, in that regard. Finally, staff recommends that the city Council open a new public hearing in six months (March 12, 2007). While in the mean time, allow Sam's Auto World an opportunity to continue with its existing S.U.P., but to note that performance will be evaluated by staff during that 6-month period and will report back to Council with their recommendation on the disposition of SP#89-08 in March. A resolution to Revoke SP #89-08 has been attached if Council elects to revoke SP #89-08 at this time.
