1. Special Purpose Fence, Dale Schlotfeldt, 4203 Madison Street
Mr. Schlotfeldt had requested approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission of a 6' high
special purpose privacy fence which would start from the front of the property line and
of a 4'3" high picket-style privacy fence along the north property line. The Commission
recommended approval of the 4'3I' high picket privacy fence but denied the 6' special pur-
pose privacy fence request. A number of property owners in the area of ~203 Madison Street
had voiced objection to the height of the 6' fence. Mr. Schlotfeldt presented a new pro-
posal for fencing to the Council. He requested permission to construct a four foot fence
of vertical treated boards around the entire yard. Much discussion followed regarding this
new proposal and its construction.

c. Other Communications
The resident at 5020 Fourth Street expressed displeasure with the noise eminating from air
movement equipment on the roof of a meat market in her immediate neighborhood. She was ad-
vised by the Police Chief that the City would use its noise monitoring equipment and deter-
mine if the noise level of these rooftop units exceeded the acceptable level of noise as
required by ordinance. These tests will be done both during the daytime as well as at night.
The resident will be advised as to the results of these noise monitoring tests.
Mayor Nawrocki referred to an article that recently appeared in the Minneapolis paper re-
garding a new resident of Columbia Heights who stated he chose to move here to escape the
surveillance of the Minneapolis Police Department. This particular individual has a cri-
minal record. The Mayor wanted to assure the residents of the City that this was in no way
an haven for criminals and that the same methods employed by the Minneapolis police force
were employed by the Columbia Heights police force. He stated that our police department
had for many years worked in a very cooperative manner with the Minneapolis Police Dept-
artment. It was noted by the Mayor that what was viewed by this individual as harassment
was, in reality, good law enforcement warranted by the individual's criminal record.
A letter from an Administrative Assistant in the Anoka County Court House was received
stating that the application from Columbia Heights for Community Development Block Grant
funds was approved.
