FRIDLEY CITY CODE TO ALLOW ACCESSORY BUILDINGS, OTHER THAN
THE FIRST ACCESSORY BUILDING, OVER 240 SQUARE FEET, ON LOT
30, BLOCK 2 , IRVINGTON ADDITION, AND LOT 14, EXCEPT THE SOUTH
390 FEET, AUDITOR'S SUBDIVISION NO. 22, GENERALLY LOCATED AT

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 24, 1991 PAGE 2
Ms. McPherson stated this property is located east of Central
Avenue and south of Rice Creek Road. The property is zoned
R-1, Single Family Dwelling, as are the properties surrounding
it. The petitioner is requesting a special use permit to
allow a second accessory building over 240 square feet. On
April 2, 1991, the Appeals Commission approved a variance to
increase the maximum square footage of accessory buildings
from 1,400 .square feet to 1,932 square feet, with three
stipulations:
1. One curb cut shall be maintained from Rice Creek
Road.
2 . The petitioner shall provide a hard surface driveway
by November 1, 1991.
3 . Special Use Permit, #91-06, shall be approved.
Ms. McPherson stated that located on the property is a single
family dwelling and an existing detached garage with a
concrete slab for the second accessory building. In 1987,
the petitioner applied for a building permit to construct an
addition to the rear of the dwelling unit. At that time, the
petitioner questioned whether or not he would be permitted to
pour a concrete pad for a garage. He was told that a special
use permit would be required and a variance would be necessary
to meet code requirements. These requirements were indicated
on the building permit in 1987.
Ms. McPherson stated the property is slightly over one acre
in size. The petitioner has located the garage in such a
manner so that, if the petitioner decides to split the lot in
the future, one garage would exist on one lot and the house
and second garage would exist on the other lot. The proposed
garage will not adversely impact adjoining property owners,
as there is adequate separation between structures. The lot
coverage is well within the 25% allowed by Code,
Ms. McPherson stated the Engineering Department has requested
that one curb cut be maintained and be shared between the two
garages so that traffic interruptions are minimized on Rice
Creek Road. If the property is to be subdivided in the
future, there is a small right-of-way stub that would need to
be vacated and the property platted. If the petitioner
chooses to use the existing curb cut, a joint driveway
easement would need to be executed at the time of platting.
Ms. McPherson stated staff is recommending approval as the
lot is large enough to accommodate the second accessory
building, and the second accessory building will not adversely
impact any adjacent property owners.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 24, 1991 PAGE 3
Mr. Klucsar stated he is trying to fix up the house and
property. It is his intention to split the lot in the future
and build a new house on the other lot.
MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Ms. Sherek, to close the
public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT
7:35 P.M.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Modig, to recommend
to City Council approval of Special Use Permit, SP #91-06, by
Yoava Klucsar, per Section 205.07. 01.C. (1) of the Fridley City
Code to allow accessory buildings, other than the first
accessory building, over 240 square feet, on Lot 30, Block 2,
Irvington Addition, and Lot 14, except the south 390 feet,
Auditor's Subdivision No. 22, generally located at 1420 Rice
Creek Road N.E. , with the following stipulations:
1. One curb cut shall be maintained from Rice Creek
Road.
2 . The petitioner shall provide a hard surface driveway
by November 1, 1991.
3 . Special Use Permit, #91-06, shall be approved.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. McPherson stated this item will go to City Council on May
6, 1991.
2 . PUBLIC HEARING: AMENDING CHAPTER 205 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE
ENTITLED, "ZONING", BY AMENDING SECTIONS 205. 04 , "GENERAL
PROVISIONS" AS FOLLOWS:
205.04. GENERAL PROVISIONS
9. ABOVE GROUND FUEL STORAGE (AGFS) TANKS
A. AGFS tanks are permitted accessory uses in commercial
and industrial zoning districts. All AGFS tanks must
meet requirements established by the Uniform Fire Code
(UFC) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) .
Permits from State Fire Marshall and MPCA must be
obtained prior to application to the Fire Department for
an installation permit.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 24, 1991 PAGE 4
B. In commercial zoning districts and for automotive service
stations in the industrial districts, AGFS tanks shall
not exceed a 1, 000 gallon capacity and/or six (6) feet
in height and/or diameter. Use of these tanks is limited
to liquid petroleum (LP) .
C. Prior to installation, a permit from the City of Fridley
Fire Department shall be obtained.
D. All AGFS tanks shall be screened by a chain link fence
with metal slats and shall be no taller than eight (8)
feet in height, with the exception of LP which does not
require fencing.
E. The City of Fridley may require installation of vehicle
protection barricades for AGFS tanks, depending on the
tank's location on the property.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to waive the
reading of the public hearing notice and open the public
hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT
7:36 P.M.
Ms. Dacy stated she has been working with Urban Corps Intern,
Kevin Meeks, on this ordinance amendment. Mr. Meeks has done
all the background research, contacting other communities, and
working with her in developing the language. They have worked
closely with the Fire Department, and Dick Larson from the
Fire Department is at the meeting.
Ms. Dacy stated Mr. Meeks has been working in the Community
Development Department since January 1, 1991. He is a senior
at the University of Minnesota majoring in Urban Studies. Mr.
Meeks will be making the staff presentation on this ordinance
amendment.
Mr. Meeks stated research on above ground fuel storage tanks
began when the Fire Department alerted the Community
Development Department of a federal law that will require some
underground fuel storage tanks to be replaced by the year
2000. Due to concerns of expense and replacement of
underground tanks, staff thought this might generate interest
in the use of above ground tanks. Staff is concerned about
the aesthetic and safety impacts of above ground storage
tanks. He stated staff has looked at existing tanks in the
City. The Commissioners viewed a video tape of above ground
storage tanks at Willamette, Totino Grace High School, LaMaur,
and Dow Brand.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 24, 1991 PAGE 5
Mr. Meeks stated staff is proposing an amendment to City
Ordinance Chapter 205 as follows:
205. 04 . GENERAL PROVISIONS
9 . ABOVE GROUND FUEL STORAGE (AGFS) TANKS
A. AGFS tanks are permitted accessory uses in commercial
and industrial zoning districts. All AGFS tanks must
meet requirements established by the Uniform Fire Code
(UFC) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) .
Permits from State Fire Marshall and MPCA must be
obtained prior to application to the Fire Department for
an installation permit.
B. In commercial zoning districts and for automotive service
stations in the industrial districts, AGFS tanks shall
not exceed a 1,000 gallon capacity and/or six (6) feet
in height and/or diameter. Use of these tanks is limited
to liquid petroleum (LP) .
Mr. Meeks stated there has been some discussion about
including kerosene and diesel fuel.
Mr. Meeks stated the reason AGFS tanks greater than a 1,000
gallon capacity are prohibited in commercial areas is due to
safety and aesthetic reasons. The Fire Department believes
it would not be safe to have AGFS tanks on small commercial
sites, such as automotive service stations, because of the
risk of accidents or vandalism that could cause the tanks to
rupture. In addition, the Fire Department noted that there
has never been an incident in the City of Fridley of an
underground fuel storage tank exploding and recommends
continued use of these types of tanks. Aesthetically, AGFS
tanks larger than 1,000 gallon capacity or six feet in
diameter and/or height would be an eye sore from the public
right-of-way.
C. Prior to installation, a permit from the City of Fridley
Fire Department shall be obtained.
D. All AGFS tanks shall be screened by a chain link fence
with metal slats and shall be no taller than eight (8)
feet in height, with the exception of LP which does not
require fencing.
Mr. Meeks stated staff has not proposed vegetation screening,
wood, or plastic fencing, as these are flammable materials and
therefore recommend only metal chain link fencing with metal
slats.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 24, 1991 PAGE 6
E. The City of Fridley may require installation of vehicle
protection barricades for AGFS tanks, depending on the
tank's location on the property.
Mr. Meeks stated the Planning Department has notified all
commercial and industrial sites currently using AGFS tanks and
have notified all Fridley automotive service stations of the
proposed amendment.
Mr. Meeks stated staff is recommending the Planning Commission
approve the ordinance amendment as proposed.
Ms. Dacy stated that since the notice was published, staff
has been contacted by owners of existing tanks and some issues
have come up that the Commission might want to discuss.
Further, staff has received a complaint about the appearance
of an above ground tank.
Ms. Dacy stated the first issue is diesel and kerosene. They
have been notified by at least two property owners who have
small 250 gallon kerosene and diesel tanks. The owners asked
if those would be applicable under paragraph B. The intent
is to limit the size of tanks in commercial areas. However,
the size of these tanks are controllable; and, at the present
time, staff is taking the interpretation that these tanks
would be grandfathered in. At this point, staff does not know
if there is a great demand to have 250 gallon diesel and
kerosene tanks on a consistent basis, and that might be
another exception they could evaluate.
Ms. Dacy stated the complaint about the appearance of a tank
is the tank behind the Stylmark building on Main Street.
Staff is recommending a paragraph F be added: "All above
ground fuel storage tanks shall be maintained in a clean and
well kept appearance. "
Ms. Dacy stated there is also the issue of signs. Property
owners or commercial establishments may paint advertising on
the exterior of these tanks. Staff is recommending a
paragraph G that would state: "Advertising signage is not
permitted on all above ground fuel storage tanks. "
Mr. Betzold asked if the Environmental Quality and Energy
Commission would like to discuss any of these issues.
Mr. Sielaff stated he would be more concerned about
underground tanks. He asked how underground tanks are
regulated.
Mr. Dick Larson, Fire Marshall, stated that most of the older
underground storage tanks are leaking and are a threat to the
environment. By 1990, all underground storage tanks that do
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 24, 1991 PAGE 7
not contain a double wall corrosion protection will have to
be removed. A permit has to be taken out to remove a tank,
and he has to witness the removal of the tank. If he can
smell any odors, then an environmentalist has to come out and
test the soil. He must also be on the site for the
installation of any tank.
Mr. Saba stated that maybe the City should be taking some
proactive action by requiring soil testing at the sites where
below ground storage tanks are located.
Mr. Larson stated that every owner of below ground storage
tanks is required to keep a record of the total amount of
leakage or shrinkage of the product. Once the leakage gets
beyond a certain percentage, then it is getting too costly
because too much of the product is being lost. Right now,
90% of the cleanup costs for contamination is paid by the
Super Fund.
Ms. Dacy stated the City also requires a monitoring well
permit when engineering companies want to take soil tests or
install a monitoring well to determine the extent of ground
water contamination. Staff could provide the Commission with
a list of stations that are under investigation at this time.
Mr. Larson stated the issue is that because it is very costly
to put below ground storage tanks back in the ground, there
is the possibility of more property owners wanting to put the
tanks above ground. The leaks can be monitored more closely.
What they are trying to do is head off any problems before
they develop.
Mr. Jim Determan, Determan Welding and Tank Service, stated
the laws were passed in 1989. By 1999, all tanks must be
removed or replaced or monitored. He stated he did not
believe the City is going to have a problem with above ground
storage tanks. He stated land is too valuable and it is very
expensive to install above ground storage tanks. The
pollution is the same for tanks above ground or below ground.
Mr. Larson stated insurance is also very expensive for
underground storage tanks. He did not know about insurance
for above ground storage tanks.
Mr. Saba stated he would be concerned about any exceptions
for above ground storage tanks, particularly in R-1, Single
Family Dwelling, zoning, such as the Totino Grace tank.
Ms. Dacy stated the above ground storage tank at Totino Grace
is the only one in a residential area. The intent of the
ordinance is that no other above ground storage tanks would

DRAFT OF WATER PORTION OF THE
WATER AND SEWER CHAPTER OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
I. INTRODUCTION
II. INVENTORY OF SOURCES
HYDROGEOLOGY
The City of Fridley's water is supplied by a series of wells which
pump water from underground water sources. Underlying the City are
layers which were deposited due to past geologic activity. These
geologic layers create what is called a stratigraphic column (see
attached "A") . This columns show distinct layers of rock in
varying thicknesses.
The City's water is found in two types of geologic layers: 1)
glacial drift; and 2) bedrock. Glacial drift is comprised of lake
deposits, sand and gravel out wash, and glacial till which was left
as the glaciers retreated. These deposits were left in sinuous,
highly permeable layers. Located between layers of impermeable
rock, these areas of glacial drift can be from 56' to 247 ' deep
throughout the City. This "sandwich" of glacial drift creates
areas where water moves through and is trapped.
The bedrock layers are commonly found under the glacial drift
layers and are comprised of sandstone, shale, limestone, and
dolomite. Several aquifers occur in these layers, two of which
underlie a large portion of the City. These aquifers are the
Prairie Du Chien-Jordan aquifer and the Mount Simon-Hinckley
aquifer. The multiple names indicate the rock formations within
which water is found. The Prairie Du Chien-Jordan aquifer is the
most widely utilized of the two aquifers, as it is the shallower
of the two aquifers. It is more expensive to tap the water supply
within the Mount Simon-Hinckley aquifer due to its greater depth.
Attached is a chart which contains information regarding which
aquifers supply the 13 City wells (see attached "B") .
III. SUPPLY AND DEMAND
WATER USAGE
The consulting firm of Howard Needles Tammen and Bergendoff (HNTB)
conducted a water system study in August 1989. For that study,
HNTB researched the past water usage by residential, commercial,
and industrial users for the years 1982 -1988 (see attached "B") .
In 1977, 1,467,459, 000 gallons of water were used. In 1987, that
number increased to 2,538, 043 ,000. This is an increase of 170%.
HNTB also calculated the future usage requirements of the City.
Residential usage is based on a per-capita calculation of 65
gallons/day/person. The City's population for the 1990 census was
m.
Water Portion
Page 2
determined to be 28,267 persons.
The rate of residential construction is not projected to increase
over the next ten years as the remaining vacant parcels of
residentially zoned land are predominantly "infill" lots. The last
large residential development was the Springbrook Apartments at
Northtown, which added 358 units to the residential housing supply.
Future residential usage should remain stable.
The commercial and industrial projections are based on a gallons
per acre calculation. The City has approximately 290 acres of
vacant commercial and industrial land remaining to be developed.
HNTB used an average of 1, 650 gallons of water per acre per day,
the City's future water usage should increase by 478, 500 gallons
per day as the City develops these remaining parcels of land. At
that rate, the annual rate of water usage should increase by
174,252,500 of water per year once the City is fully developed (see
attached "E") .
(Paragraph to be inserted here regarding current water usage rates
and potential future increases. )
EXISTING SYSTEM
The City's current water supply system is divided into three
levels: low level, intermediate level, and high level.
Low Level
The low level system is supplied by Wells 2-11, and 13 . Two filter
plants located at Locke and Commons Parks filter water as it is
pumped from the water supply. In addition, a three million gallon
ground reservoir and a half million gallon elevated reservoir are
located at Commons Park which provide storage for when additional
supplies are required. Currently, Wells 6-8 are being monitored
for trichlorethylene (TCE) and Well 9 is off-line due to
contamination by TCE. This issue will be further discussed under
threats to water source.
The City has constructed an additional 1.5 million gallon elevated
reservoir which will assist in providing additional storage
capacity for the low level system.
Intermediate Level
Wells 1 and 12 supply the intermediate level with a 1.5 million
gallon stand-pipe reservoir providing additional storage capacity.
Water Portion
Page 3
High Level
The high level water supply system is not supplied directly by
specific wells. However, variable speed booster pumps run
continually to supply water to this area of the City located east
of Highway 65 where the elevation is much higher than the remainder
of the City. The variable speed booster pumps allow the pumps to
match the supply of water with the amount of consumption which is
occurring.
ANTICIPATED FUTURE NEEDS
The water study conducted by HNTB determined that the City will
need to continue to maintain the current system as well as
providing improvements to the system to ensure that an adequate
water supply exists during times of uncertainty in the system, i.e.
equipment failure, power failures, major fire flow requirements,
etc. , occur. The study indicated that additional storage would be
highly desirable to accommodate these uncertainties. The study
determined that the City's static water pressure which ranges from
50 to 90 psi is acceptable. The standard of 60 to 75 psi is an
optimum level of pressure; however, as the City's elevation changes
greatly, the 50 to 90 psi range is acceptable.
Various improvements which the study suggested include: 1) higher
capacity booster pumps and an additional elevated reservoir to
serve the high level, 2) an additional 1, 000 gallon per minute
well, an additional elevated reservoir, and completion of the water
main loop near Skywood Mall for the intermediate level, and 3) a
third booster pump and an additional one million gallon reservoir
to serve the low level system.
The City has currently completed, or will be completing, two of the
recommended improvements: 1) a 1.5 million gallon elevated
reservoir has been constructed near the NSP sub-station west of
Highway 65. This reservoir will accommodate storage needs for the
low level system, and 2) the water main loop improvement near the
Skywood Mall will be completed during the Summer of 1991.
IV. THREATS TO WATER SOURCE
CONTAMINATION
As was stated earlier, the City has four wells in which
trichlorethylene (TCE) has been found. These wells are 6-9 and
draw water from the Prairie Du Chien-Jordan aquifer. The only well
to be taken off-line at this time has been Well 9. The City
continues to monitor Wells 6-8 on a monthly basis and also spot
checks the remaining nine wells within the system. The City has
worked with the adjacent communities of Moundsview and New Brighton
Water Portion
Page 4
to determine where the contamination may be originating from. It
has been determined that the most likely candidate for the source
of the contamination is the Twin City Army Ammunition plant in
Arden Hills. There are two "plumes" of contamination. One from
the north and south. It has been determined that the contamination
is not from the south plume; however, further study continues as
to determine the possibility of the contaminant occurring from the
north plume (if available, map to be added) .
The options the City currently has to correct this problem is to
replace Wells 6-9 or to treat the water prior to it entering the
system.
Two treatment options would be: 1) air stripping, which releases
the TCE into the air and it is dispersed, or 2) use highly
activated carbon filters to remove the TCE from the water. The
most efficient, although most expensive, way to remove the TCE is
through the use of the carbon filters. The City has reviewed the
treatment alternatives, but has not made a determination to begin
treatment of the water. It is the goal of the City to continue to
provide water to the residents which contains less than the EPA's
standard for all contaminants.
Restricted Supplies
Another threat to the water source would include the threat of
drought. As many of the communities utilize the same source for
their water supplies, conservation methods such as restricted
watering bans should be regionally considered. For the year 1991,
the City has implemented a "no watering" ban for the hours of noon
to 8: 00 p.m. for all residents and businesses within the City.

SUBJECT: Outline of Sewer Portion of the Water and Sewer
Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan
Attached please find a detailed outline of the Sewer portion of the
Water and Sewer Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. Due to a lack
of a comprehensive source of information regarding the sanitary
sewer system of the City, more research work needs to be completed
prior to the commission reviewing a preliminary draft of the Sewer
portion of the Sewer and Water Chapter. We have, however, provided
you with an outline of the items we are hoping to include in the
chapter and have provided you with some preliminary information
regarding water only accounts, the current ordinance, and annual
sewage flows for the City.
Staff recommends that the commission review the attached outline
and determine if there are further items that the commission would
like to see included in this portion of the Sewer and Water
chapter.

(Ref. 103, 216, 353)
207.01. INSIDE MEET REQUIRED INSIDE
TOILET
The owner of every residence or business building abutting upon any REQUIRED
street or alley in which the City of Fridley sewer mains are
maintained shall have a flush toilet in the building. If such
toilet is connected to an approved and well—functioning septic tank
and cesspool system on the 13th day of June, 1956, it may remain so
connected as long as said system continues to function properly.
When such system ceases to function properly, it must immediately be
repaired or the building waste lines must immediately be connected
to the municipal sanitary sewer system.
207.02. POLICY POLICY
.;The City shall eliminate hazards to safety and health arising from
.. defective sewage systems; and for such purposes shall extend its
municipal or public sewers to all lands of the City as soon as is
reasonable for the City to do- so.
207.03. NUISANCE NUISANCE
Hereafter, whenever and wherever any such private septic tank,
cesspool or other type of private sewage system is damaged or
defective and as a result thereof operates improperly, then except
as is further provided herein, connection shall be made to a public
sewer where such public sewer is available for use. Use of a
defective system, or one in need of repair to eliminate a hazard to
safety or health is deemed maintenance of a nuisance and is
prohibited; and such nuisance may be abated according to law.
207.04. HEAD REGULATIONS ADOPTED HEAD
ct to the repairRDC JLATIONS
With resp
ect of any private sewage system or the ADOPTED
correction of any defect herein, such system, when corrected and
with the defect therein removed, is sufficient for continual use in
service to the buildings and the lands with which it is connected
and is in accord with and meets the requirements of the standards
recommended therefore by the Minnesota Department of Health as noted
in the 1959 edition of the Minnesota Individual Sewage Disposal
System Code of Minimum Standards (as amended to date hereof) . Such
system, when corrected and the defect removed, may and shall be .
permitted to continue in use and operation. But should the system,
regardless of repair or connection, fail to meet the standards
prescribed in such code, then connection shall instead be made to a
public sewer where such sewer is within reasonable distance of the
buildings and lands to be served and is capable of such use. The
1959 edition of the Minnesota Individual Sewage Disposal System Code
of Minimum Standards as recommended by the Minnesota Department of
Health is hereby adopted by reference and shall be in full force and
effect in the City of Fridley as if set out here in full.
207-1
207.09.
207.05. ORDER REPAIR ORDER
Whenever any private sewage system is corrected and the defect
removed, but still does not meet the standards prescribed in this
Code and there is no public sewer within a reasonable distance of
the buildings and lands to be served and capable of such use, then
the City shall order such repairs and corrections as shall eliminate
the hazards to safety and health arising therefrom.
207.06. HEARING HEARING
In any case where an owner deems himself or herself aggrieved by an
order of the Health Officer of the City or other representative of
the City with respect to a private sewage disposal system and its
continued use, the owner is entitled, upon giving notice and demand,
_ -to a hearing before the Council with respect thereto and before the
order shall become final. Such notice and demand shall be made
promptly and in no case later than five (5) days after receipt of
any order from the City.
