Offering Auto Buying and Service Benefits to SAM'S Club Members. Michelle McFearson Planning Assistant City of Fridley 6431 University Avenue N.E. Fridley, MN 55432 Dear Michelle, SAM' S Auto Buying Program, in concert with Thomas Pontiac, Buick, GMC and Thomas Toyota, would like to have a Tent Sale on the SAM' S Club parking lot at 8150 University Avenue N.E. , in July, 1993 . This entails moving approximately 300 new and program vehicles on to the premises and putting up a tent. The event will be advertised to SAM' S members primarily through a direct mail piece similar to the one attached. We have done these sales all over the United States for the past several years. We have had one in Minnesota as recently as April 21st-24th of this year at the St . Cloud SAM' S Club. It went off without a hitch due in large part to the pre-planning on the part of SAM' S Auto Buying Program, the local SAM' S Club and the participating dealer. The cars will be placed in a corner of the lot and the area will be marked off to maintain even traffic flow. There will be someone there to direct traffic to make sure that no problem comes up. There will be 24 hour security for the vehicles to make sure no problems arise during non-sale hours. Two Porta-potties will be on-site for the convenience of members. Fire extinguishers will also be provided. I have already contacted the Environmental Services Division of Anoka County to secure a Food Permit . There will be hotdogs, hamburgers and pop available with all proceeds going to the Children' s Miracle Network. The event will be on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday. SAM' S Auto Buying Program limits itself to a maximum of two Tent Sales per year per SAM' S Club. There is an occasion where the dealer sells more than just cars, vans and trucks . Therefore, I ask if this permit could be issued to include boats, trailers and RV' s. We then would not have to reapply to add on a missing item in the future. 2 0 4 South Main Street , Suite C • Bentonville , Arkansas 7 2 7 1 2 1 - 5 0 1 - 2 7 3 - 1 3 3 3 • 1 - 8 0 0 - 3 4 5 - 5 9 5 4 • FAX : 1 - 5 0 1 - 2 7 3 - 0 0 2 0 Please feel free to contact me with any comments or concerns.

The best method would be to invite representatives from comparable communities to form a panel discussion at a special meeting. We could invite a Planning Commission member/staff person from Anoka, Blaine, Richfield, Roseville, and possibly Columbia Heights to a special meeting on Wednesday, July 7, 1993. Each speaker would review the City's recent planning process, discuss the model that it used (neighborhood based or community wide based) , the pros and cons of the model, and whether or not they used a consultant. After the presentation, the Commission members would ask questions and conduct an informal discussion. Further, the City Council members could attend if they had time available in their schedules. Then, as part of the regular agenda on the 14th, the Planning Commission could discuss the findings and possibly make a recommendation to the City Council. As of the writing of this report, I have contacted all subject communities and am awaiting responses as to whether or not that particular date would be acceptable to the staff and/or Planning Commission member. Recommendation Please determine if the proposed date and schedule is acceptable. If so, the Commission should make a motion requesting that the City Council authorize the Planning Commission to investigate other cities' planning processes as outlined in this memorandum. BD/dn M-93-321 / Community Development Department PLANNING DIVISION City of Fridley DATE: May 21, 1993 TO: Planning Commission Members FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan As a result of the discussion with the Mayor, Councilman Steve Billings, and Councilman Dennis Schneider, I have prepared an alternative for the Planning Commission to consider. I understood the Planning Commission's comments to mean that they wanted to be more involved in the community planning process._ Discussed at the meeting was a potential review of the variety of operational plans that the City uses. After further consideration of this matter, it may not be a worthwhile exercise for the Planning Commission to get bogged down into some of the operational details of the emergency management plan or other departmental operational plans. The Planning Commission's purpose by State Statute is to assist the community with comprehensive planning. This would include a review of the capital improvement plan since it is an implementing tool of the community plan. I recommend that the Planning Commission use the model completed by the Environmental Quality and Energy Commission for the solid waste fact finding report. The Planning Commission could invite and interview colleagues from other cities who have recently completed land use plan amendments. Anoka, Blaine, Columbia Heights, and Roseville would be potential models. The Planning Commission could then provide advice to the City Council as to: A. Should the City revise and update the plan? B. What model should be used? 1) Should it be a neighborhood-based model? • 2) A broader community-wide focus? 3) Other Comprehensive Plan May 21, 1993 Page 2 C. How should we do it? Based on what other cities are doing, should we hire a consultant, or should it be done in-house? The Planning Commission should discuss this suggestion and possibly make a motion or indicate to the City Council how it wishes to proceed. BD/dn M-93-295 7
