CITY OF FRIDLEY
RESOLUTION NO. 2015 - 11
A RESOLUTION EXTENDING THE DATE FOR COMPLIANCE OUTLINED IN CITY
COUNCIL RESOLUTION 2014 - 99 FROM FEBRUARY 23, 2015, TO JUNE 30, 2015,
RELATED TO RETAINING WALL REQUIREMENTS AT 1627 AND 1631 RICE
CREEK ROAD NE
WHEREAS,
the City of Fridley, Minnesota (the “City”), through its actions approving
Resolution Number 2014 - 99, on December 22, 2014, set in motion a date for compliance
regarding the retaining wall at 1627 and 1631 Rice Creek Road NE, as February 23, 2015; and
WHEREAS,
James Kiewel, (the "property owner"), has provided proof that he has
retained the services of a professional structural engineer; and
WHEREAS,
said engineer has indicated that he would prefer to see the structure of and
conditions around the wall through excavating near the wall, without snow and frost conditions;
and
WHEREAS,
The City would prefer to resolve this matter through the owner's use of
proper engineering techniques and remedies; and
WHEREAS,
warmer weather will be required to allow the engineer to complete his work
on the report for this wall; and
WHEREAS,
City staff recognizes that based on the engineer's request, a deadline of
February 23rd does not provide adequate time and seasonal warmth to adequately see the area
around the retaining walls without snow and frost, but a deadline date of June 30, 2015 would
provide sufficient time for both engineering analysis and any corrections that may result and
would need to be made by the property owner; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT
based on these new facts, the City Council of the City
of Fridley hereby will extend the deadline date for compliance on all retaining wall matters at
1627 and 1631 Rice Creek Road NE, as outlined in Resolution 2014-99, from February 23, 2015,
to June 30, 2015. By this action no other modification to Resolution 2014-99 are suggested or
implied.
PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY THIS
9th DAY OF FEBRUARY 2015.
