6.PLANNING APPLICATION ITEMS
6a) Planning Commission Application No. 2019-004 (Public Hearing
Applicant: Jane Sharkey (Helena Autism Therapy Center)
Property Address: 5637 Brooklyn Boulevard
Summary: The Applicant is requesting approval of a Special Use
Permit to allow for the establishment of an autism therapy
center and ancillary outdoor playground within an existing
three-story building.
City Planner and Zoning Administrator Ginny McIntosh reviewed an application for a Special
Use Permit for an autism therapy center and ancillary outdoor playground. The applicant, Jane
Sharkey, withdrew a previous application at a different location due to difficulties with
unforeseen maintenance issues at the facility as well as funding barriers.
Ms. McIntosh stated the building at 5637 Brooklyn Boulevard was constructed in 1980 with
primary use as a law office, but it is currently occupied by multiple tenants. A public hearing is
required, notice of which was published on February 28, 2019 in the Sun Post and mail notices
were sent to adjacent neighbors. Based on the day-to-day operations of the autism therapy
center, it was determined that a “group daycare facility” designation is the closest related use.
Ms. McIntosh stated the autism therapy center provide services to clients between the ages of 2.5
years to 7 years old, with a medical diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. The applicant is
certified through the Minnesota Department of Human Services to provide Children’s
Therapeutic Services and Supports (CTSS) rehabilitative mental health services, skills
development and additional support, with varying degrees of care.
Ms. McIntosh stated there will be 32 employees on site, with a additional support staff and a
manager to be on site for one per week meetings and as needed for weekly meetings with clients.
The facility will accommodate 20 children for a morning session and 20 children for an
afternoon session. There are no plans to store vehicles on site.
Ms. McIntosh stated that, as part of the review, the proposal under review must demonstrate that
it is compatible with adjacent uses as well as uses that are generally permitted in the C1 District.
Ms. McIntosh stated that the need for an outdoor playground is the primary driving factor for
relocating the autism center from Fridley to Brooklyn Center. The proposed playground would
be located on the west side of the building and would be approximately 28 feet wide by 60 feet
long. The playground area would be 71 feet from the edge of the curb along Northport Drive,
approximately 45 feet from the northern property line, and include playground equipment as
recommended by the Minnesota Department of Human Services and as recommended through
treatment plans.
PC Minutes
03-14-19 -3- DRAFT
Ms. McIntosh reviewed the specific requirements for outdoor playgrounds as relating to the
group day care facilities use. Specifically, the playground must be separated from parking and
driving areas by at least a 4-foot high fence. The applicant is proposing an 8-foot double-faced
cedar fence. The playground must also be contiguous to the building facility and shall not have
more than half of the playground covered in impervious surface. The playground must also
extend at least 60 feet in length from the wall of the building or to an adjacent property line,
whichever is less.
Ms. McIntosh stated there are existing tenants in the building, but if this request is approved, the
initial intent was for the Helena Autism Therapy Center would be the sole occupant.
Ms. McIntosh stated the parking lot currently has 68 spaces. Given the size of the building and
the site and building plan approval approved in 1979, a minimum of 74 spaces was required;
however, the originally approved site plan, staff report, and meeting minutes reflect a minimum
parking requirement of 60 spaces with proof of parking for an additional 14 spaces. The
applicant would therefore require and meet the minimum of 60 parking spaces assuming 8
parking spaces are removed for the proposed playground area.
Ms. McIntosh stated the Building Official has indicated ADA parking will be required at both of
the building’s two entrances. The parking lot will need to be re-striped, and ADA parking spaces
marked. A trash enclosure, located off the parking lot surface and screened per City Code
requirements will need to be provided for the existing on-site dumpster.
Ms. McIntosh concluded by stating that City Staff recommends Planning Commission approval
of Application 2019-004 recommending approval of a Special Use Permit for an autism therapy
center with ancillary outdoor playground for the Subject Property.
OPEN TO PUBLIC COMMENTS – APPLICATION NO. 2019-004
There was a motion by Commissioner MacMillan, seconded by Commissioner Tade, to open the
public hearing on Application No. 2019-004, at 7:16 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.
Jane Sharkey, 13537 Windy Hill Road, Minnetonka, MN, stated she is the applicant. She
welcomed questions or comments from the Planning Commission. She thanked Ms. McIntosh
for doing such a great job.
Commissioner MacMillan asked whether Ms. Sharkey plans to purchase the property.
Ms. Sharkey confirmed this, adding inspections will be conducted after this request is approved,
and she is scheduled to close on the property on May 1, 2019.
Commissioner Koenig asked if Ms. Sharkey has an opening date. Ms. Sharkey stated their intent
is to remodel the middle and top floors after the close date of May 1, 2019 and move in by June
1, 2019 to begin work on the playground.

7. DISCUSSION ITEMS
7a) CITY COUNCIL MEETING UPDATES
Ms. McIntosh stated, at its March 11, 2019 meeting, that the City’s EDA approved a Resolution
to purchase a single-family residential property adjacent to other EDA-owned property near the
Sanctuary on Brooklyn Boulevard. She added a proposed development project to be undertaken
by Coalition Development has been proposed for the EDA-owned site, and the purchase of this
property will provide additional space.
PC Minutes
03-14-19 -5- DRAFT
Ms. McIntosh stated the City Council has been reviewing a request to purchase land for a new
municipal liquor store location for Liquor Store #1 in the Shingle Creek Crossing development.
The project would require, at minimum, site and building plan approval, and may need a Planned
Unit Development amendment. Both requests would require review by the Planning Commission
at some point.
Ms. McIntosh stated there has been interest in an EDA-owned property located at 1601 James
Circle, which comprises approximately 5 acres fronting on I-694. A Letter of Intent was
reviewed by the City Council but the identified purchase price was deemed to be significantly
less than the surrounding taxable market rates for land. The proposal was for a 21,000 square
foot building with mixed office and events space with an anticipated 16 employees. The City
Council denied the request but allowed for potential renegotiation. Another interested party has
indicated they are also interested in the property and intend to present their proposal at the City
Council’s March 25, 2019 meeting.
Ms. McIntosh stated City Staff presented a discussion item to consider the scope of services for a
contract with Bolton & Menk. Work to be undertaken as part of this contract would include a re-
write of the City’s Zoning Code, in addition to the Sign and Platting Codes. Additionally, new
zoning districts would be created to conform to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, as well as a
Brooklyn Boulevard Overlay District. Master development strategies for the former Sears and
57th and Logan sites would be completed, and the 2006 Opportunity Site Master Plan would be
updated. The contract will be presented to the City Council at their March 25, 2019 meeting for
review and decision.
Ms. McIntosh stated the Joint Council/Commission Meeting has been rescheduled from April 3,
2019 to April 2, 2019 due to a conflict with the second CDI Workshop.
Ms. McIntosh stated the City’s annual curbside clean-up will be happening during April 2019.
She noted that information will be forwarded to the Planning Commission, indicating what types
of household items will and will not be accepted.
Commissioner MacMillan requested clarification regarding “conduit debt financing”, which was
discussed at a City Council meeting. Ms. McIntosh stated the City has received requests in the
past to authorize this type of financing on the behalf of private entities. Unity Place and
Nompeng Academy are both examples of projects that recently either requested or had changes
made to their conduit bonds. She added the City’s Finance Department has more specific
information on conduit debt financing, as they are the ones who process and administer these
requests.
Chair Christensen welcomed two visitors in the audience. The visitors stated they are students at
North Hennepin Community College. They added they are attending a Planning Commission
meeting to complete a homework assignment.
PC Minutes
03-14-19 -6- DRAFT
Commissioner Koenig asked whether the proposal for the Jerry’s Foods site is for workforce
housing. Ms. McIntosh confirmed this, adding the proposal is currently for two separate housing
components – workforce housing and senior living, for a total of 267 units. The developer, Real
Estate Equities, has been working with the City and is moving forward, but has not yet submitted
a Planning Commission application as they have some remaining work to do before proceeding.
Ms. McIntosh provided an update on plans to develop what is known as Eastbrook Estates into a
single-family home development. Centra Homes, who has a preliminary development agreement
with the City’s EDA to develop the property, recently came forward with two alternative
conceptual plans for the site. This was due to changes in land costs, and the identification of
unbuildable right-of-way.
The first option outlined a plan similar to the original concept, but reduced the number of homes
from 35 to 30 to 32. Additionally, this option would result in the developer paying $115,000,
rather than the originally identified $250,000 for the land. The second option would reduce the
number of homes to 26 and would deviate substantially from the original plan by introducing
two new cul-de-sacs, rather than the original grid-style format. However, the developer noted
that the originally identified $250,000 sale price of the land would be maintained with this
option. Ultimately, City Council determined a desire to proceed with the first option that would
result in 30 to 32 homes and maintain a grid-style road layout.
Ms. McIntosh stated that, should the identified pipeline residential projects proceed, the City
could be looking at the construction of hundreds of new units, which has not been seen in
decades.
7b) CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION FOR 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
FOLLOW-UP (MARCH 11, 2019)
Ms. McIntosh stated the City Council reviewed the Housing and Implementation Chapters of the
Comprehensive Plan at a work session on March 11, 2019. She added the City Council’s
feedback will be incorporated in the Comprehensive Plan and uploaded to the comprehensive
plan website by Friday, March 15, 2019. She added she would print updated copies and send
them to the Commissioners.
Commissioner Schonning stated he attended the Comprehensive Plan work session. He added
not all the Councilmembers were present, but the consultant gave a great presentation that
touched on new affordable housing and residential development.
Ms. McIntosh stated there was discussion regarding proposed language changes, as well as on
comments received from ACER. She added Ms. Beekman reviewed a letter to City Staff from
the Director of ACER requesting specific criteria be added to the Comprehensive Plan. Ms.
McIntosh noted the Comprehensive Plan is designed to serve as a broader framework that sets
the City up for setting much more specific policies, plans, etc.

7c) LISC | CDI WORKSHOPS #1 AND #2 FOR OPPORTUNITY SITE AT
BROOKDALE LIBRARY (MARCH 20, 2019 AND APRIL 3, 2019)
Ms. McIntosh stated a series of CDI workshops, sponsored by Alatus and the City of Brooklyn
Center, will be held to encourage community engagement in the Opportunity Site development
process. The first meeting will be held March 20, 2019 from 6:30-830 p.m. at Brookdale
Library. Planning Commissioners are encouraged to attend the workshops, which are
progressive and build off each other.
Chair Christensen stated he did not receive the CDI Workshops flyer. Ms. McIntosh agreed to
email the flyer to Chair Christensen.
7d) REMINDER: SPECIAL PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING | PUBLIC
HEARING FOR 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (MARCH 21, 2019)
Ms. McIntosh stated a Planning Commission Special Meeting is scheduled for March 21, 2019.
She added that the intent of the meeting is for the Planning Commission to have gone through
the latest version of the comprehensive plan, and, as part of a public hearing, recommend
whether the plan should move forward at this time to the City Council. She added at least four
Planning Commissioners will need to attend to ensure a quorum. Commissioner MacMillan
stated he is unable to attend.

Sweeney, and Susan Tade were present. Commissioner Jack MacMillan was absent and excused.
City Planner and Zoning Administrator Ginny McIntosh, Community Development Director

3. APPROVAL OF AGENDA – MARCH 21, 2019
There was a motion by Commissioner Schonning, seconded by Commissioner Tade, to approve
the agenda for the March 21, 2019 Special Session meeting as presented. The motion passed
unanimously.
4. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSIDERATION (PUBLIC HEARING)
Chair Christensen explained the Planning Commission’s role as an advisory body and that
tonight it will be holding a public hearing on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive
Plan establishes a community’s long-term vision, goals, strategies, and policies for guiding
future changes and investments. The Plan is intended to serve as a roadmap for the City for the
next 20-year planning period and will address future land uses, housing, economic development,
transportation, parks, trails, open spaces, natural resources, and City services/facilities.
Chair Christensen stated a presentation on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan will be presented
tonight followed by a public hearing to receive comments on the Plan.
City Planner and Zoning Administrator Ginny McIntosh introduced Jennifer Haskamp of
Swanson Haskamp Consulting (SHC). She invited Ms. Haskamp to address the Planning
Commission.
Ms. Haskamp stated she will provide a short presentation on the Comprehensive Plan prior to the
opening of the public hearing. She explained this is a long-range plan for the City, looking out
for a 20-year planning period, and focusing on the next 10 years for anything physical in the
landscape (parks, roadways, structures). To create this Plan, components such as demographics
PC Minutes
03-21-19 -2- DRAFT
and existing housing were used to forecast for the future along with business economic
competitiveness, growth, and how the infrastructure will support those systems.
Ms. Haskamp explained why the City has a Comprehensive Plan and the requirement of the
Metropolitan Council to update it every ten years. She noted the Metropolitan Council’s system
statement addresses four regional systems: transit, sewer, airports, and parks, and the Plan needs
to address each of those systems. The City is required to answer all of the items in the
Metropolitan Council’s local planning handbook checklist, which is about 16 pages long, and all
the items listed must be incorporated into the Plan.
Ms. Haskamp provided an overview of the 2040 requirements specific to Brooklyn Center and
noted plans for about 2,250 new households by 2040. For areas planned for redevelopment,
housing needs to average a minimum of ten dwellings units per acre, which would require
attached housing-types of products rather than single-family housing. Areas with planned transit
are required to plan for higher density housing than other redevelopment areas. In addition to the
households, there is an employment forecast. The City must also plan for a component or
percentage of affordability within the new housing. The Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area
(MRCCA) Plan is required to be more robust and in-depth, which will directly impact Brooklyn
Center.
Ms. Haskamp reviewed the people and groups involved in creating and establishing the goals
and strategies in the Plan, including the consultant team of Swanson Haskamp Consulting, LLC
and Perkins + Will, the Planning Commission as its working group, other City Advisory
Commissions, residents input provided during City events, City staff, and the City Council.
Ms. Haskamp presented the Plan schedule, noting the process started the summer of 2017 when a
background report was prepared that included a socio-economic analysis and mapping. That
background report became the foundation for visioning, goal setting, and Plan development. The
Plan development phase went from late 2017 through October 2018. The six-month
adjacent/affected jurisdictional review runs until April 2019.
Ms. Haskamp noted it is now at the end of the process and has resulted in a deliverable Plan that
can be considered for adoption. Once the public hearing is over this evening and the six-month
review process is completed, there may be additional comments that need to be incorporated.
After that, it will go to the City Council for consideration.
Ms. Haskamp provided a short presentation that described highlights and key points contained in
each of the nine chapters included in the 2040 Plan as follows: Chapter 1: Community &
Planning Context; Chapter 2: Vision, Goals & Strategies; Chapter 3: Land Use &
Redevelopment; Chapter 4: Housing & Neighborhood; Chapter 5: Community Image, Economic
Competitiveness & Stability; Chapter 6: Parks, Trails & Open Space; Chapter 7: Transportation
& Transit; Chapter 8: Infrastructure & Utilities; and Chapter 9: Implementation. In addition, the
Plan includes: Appendix A: Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area; Appendix B: Glossary of
Terms – Goals & Strategies; Appendix C: Background Report; and, Appendix D: Capital
Improvement Plan.
PC Minutes
03-21-19 -3-DRAFT
Ms. Haskamp explained the revisions to the Plan since the Planning Commission’s last meeting
relating to changes in housing stock and needs in the new residential areas. She stated the next
steps are to hold the public hearing, have the City Council discuss the Comprehensive Plan again
at their meeting on March 25, 2019, and wait for the six-month affected/adjacent jurisdictional
review to close. Final adoption and submission to the Metropolitan Council will take place after
jurisdictional review closes in April.
Chair Christensen thanked Ms. Haskamp for her hard work with the Planning Commission, other
Commissions, staff, and the City Council. He asked whether the Commissioners had questions
prior to opening the public hearing. No questions or comments were raised.
OPEN TO PUBLIC COMMENTS – 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
There was a motion by Commissioner Sweeney, seconded by Commissioner Koenig, to open the
public hearing on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan at 7:45 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.
Chair Christensen recognized residents in the audience who wished to speak on this matter and
called for comments from the public.
Cheryl Olson, 6532 Brooklyn Boulevard, stated she has lived in the City since 1987 and her
children attended the Osseo schools. She asked what, if any, projects or changes might be
coming forward that could impact her home, as she lives on Brooklyn Boulevard. Ms. Olson
stated she is 71 years old and it makes a difference whether she should put new windows in her
house or make do with what she has. She stated she has asked this question before but received
no answers. Ms. Olson stated homes like hers need upkeep but it is not worth it if she is told that
her house will be gone.
Chair Christensen stated he does not have a perfect answer but that is part of this discussion this
evening as future land use is a consideration with the Comprehensive Plan as well as what will
happen in the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor. He asked staff to make note of this concern, look
into it, and get back to Ms. Olson with an answer.
Ms. McIntosh stated Ms. Olson’s home is just south of I-694 and I-94 on Brooklyn Boulevard so
with regard to the Brooklyn Boulevard project now underway, Ms. Olson’s house appears to be
just outside of Phase II, which would commence in 2021. She asked Ms. Olson to provide her
telephone number or e-mail address so staff can follow up with her.
Ms. Olson stated in a prior road project, she lost mature trees from her yard but she likes living
in Brooklyn Center and does not want to leave.
Chair Christensen thanked Ms. Olson for her comments.
Diane Sannes, 7006 Willow Lane, noted the Plan indicates that C Line and D Line will affect
Brooklyn Center’s growth and asked what that means as the City already has that bus service but
not with electric buses.
PC Minutes
03-21-19 -4- DRAFT
Ms. Sannes stated there is talk in the Plan of needing more jobs, but she thinks there are plenty of
jobs already and what the City needs is people, noting there are some businesses closed with
signs saying ‘no service’ for lack of employees. She stated the Plan indicates that 18% of the
City’s population is without high school diplomas compared to 8% in Hennepin County, which
she finds to be an amazing statistic.
Ms. Sannes stated Highway 252 will happen and she thinks people will leave and shop elsewhere
because there will be no safe way to get into Brooklyn Center. She stated her concern with the
proposal for only one exit off Highway 252, which she stated will not be safe, so people will go
to Brooklyn Park instead.
Ms. Sannes encouraged the City to embrace transit and the Brooklyn Center Transit Center, not
fear it, because it is needed. She welcomed the Planning Commission to join her on Saturday at
8:30 a.m. for the Shingle Creek Neighborhood kickoff that will involve a cleanup effort.
Commissioner Tade thanked Ms. Sannes for her comments and stated a lot of the demographics
and numbers referenced in the Plan came from Hennepin County and were a surprise to the
Planning Commission too.
There were no other individuals in attendance who wished to make comments at this time.
MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENTS (HEARING)
There was a motion by Commissioner Koenig, seconded by Commissioner Sweeney, to close the
public hearing on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan at 7:55 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.
Chair Christensen thanked the public for their comments and called for questions and comments
from Commissioners.
Commissioner Schonning stated anyone who was at last night’s LISC Opportunity Site
workshop should delve into this Plan because it is extremely timely considering what will be
happening on that site. He noted the things discussed during the drafting of this Plan are timely
when considering what the Opportunity Site developer, Alatus, is proposing. Commissioner
Schonning stated he thinks that project will make the City viable and vibrant and provide the hub
the City has been craving and needs, changing the momentum of the City in the true spirit of the
Comprehensive Plan. He stated he thinks the City will have the rare opportunity to see many
things leapfrogged in the Comprehensive Plan because of the Opportunity Site project, which is
very exciting. He stated he has been in Brooklyn Center since 1978 as a homeowner, finds this
exciting, and thinks this Comprehensive Plan is key to where the City is going.
Chair Christensen stated he was not able to be at last night’s meeting on the Opportunity Site but
heard it was a good deal and would be consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. He
believed the excitement for a destination place started with Top Golf. He explained he has
concerns with the Park and Ride but understands the need for connectivity and the Plan
addresses some of those things. Chair Christensen stated he thinks the Plan will help the City
achieve some of the goals they have set.
PC Minutes
03-21-19 -5-DRAFT
Commissioner Schonning stated Ms. Haskamp has done an excellent job, noting this process has
involved a long timeline.
Community Development Director Beekman noted the background report was completed but in
reality, work on the Comprehensive Plan did not begin in earnest until late 2017 so the amount of
work Ms. Haskamp was able to accomplish and within the budget, has been amazing. She
offered kudos to Ms. Haskamp and her team.
Commissioner Schonning stated in addition, the 2040 Plan is more readable than the 2030 Plan.
Chair Christensen thanked all, including Ms. McIntosh, for their work and making this Plan a
document the Planning Commission is proud to forward to the City Council for approval.
The Commissioners interposed no objections to recommending approval of the 2040
Comprehensive Plan.

Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: April 11, 2019
Application No. 2019-005
Applicant: Mike Albers (City of Brooklyn Center)
Location: 5139 Brooklyn Boulevard (Brookdale Covenant Church)
Request: Preliminary/Final Plat of Brookdale Covenant Addition and Dedication of Certain
Right-of-Way
INTRODUCTION
Mike Albers (“The Applicant”) on behalf of the City of Brooklyn Center (“The City”) is requesting review
and consideration to plat the currently un-platted property located in the vicinity of 5139 Brooklyn
Boulevard (“the Subject Property”), also known as Brookdale Covenant Church, to BROOKDALE
COVENANT ADDITION. The request to plat the Subject Property was brought on as a result of the Phase I
Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Project improvements currently underway and whose project area runs
between from 49th Avenue North to Bass Lake Road (County Road 10). The project began last year and
includes reconstruction of roadway and streetscape improvements that will address the overall roadway
and intersection safety along Brooklyn Boulevard, enhance traffic operations, and provide improved
bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Phase I is anticipated to conclude by the end of 2019.
The scope of this work also includes a reconstruction of Lilac Drive from New Millennium Academy,
located just south of the Subject Property, to the north end of the Subject Property, where a new signal
light will be located at the intersection of the newly reconstructed Lilac Drive and Trunk Highway 100
south ramp off Brooklyn Boulevard. Given the numerous easement reconfigurations and vacations
required in order to implement the project improvements in vicinity of the Subject Property, such as the
installation of a new six-foot wide sidewalk and other various streetscaping improvements, City Council
authorized the execution of a Land Exchange Agreement on December 11, 2017, between the City of
Brooklyn Center and Brookdale Covenant Church in order implement these improvements.
The City has been working over the past couple years with Brookdale Covenant Church, MnDOT
(Minnesota Department of Transportation), and Hennepin County to address the acquisition of certain
property, easement and right-of-way vacation and dedication, and the reconfiguration of the Brookdale
Covenant Church parking lot due to the: 1) extension of Lilac Drive; 2) removal of portions of the
Brooklyn Boulevard frontage road; and 3) installation of the new traffic signal at the Trunk Highway 100
south ramp and Lilac Drive extension.
Platting the currently un-platted Subject Property will allow the City to record its deed in the Lilac Drive
parcel as City right-of-way, and will also provide Brookdale Covenant Church with clear documentation
as to the: 1) conveyance of a MnDOT parcel to Brookdale Covenant Church through the right-of-way
vacation process; and 2) Brookdale Covenant Church’s acquisition of title and vacation of a gap parcel
that is no longer needed by Hennepin County for right-of-way purposes. Additionally, certain parking
and driveway improvements were to be undertaken on the Lilac Drive, MnDOT, and identified Gap
Parcels for Brookdale Covenant Church (and as identified in Exhibit A) as part of the project scope.

Requests for approval of a plat require a public hearing be scheduled in accordance with Section 15-104
(Preliminary Plan) of the Platting Ordinance. An Affidavit of Publication confirmed publication of the
public hearing notice in the Brooklyn Center Sun Post on March 28th, 2019 (Exhibit B). Mail notices were
also sent to neighboring property owners. Assuming Planning Commission Application No. 2019-005 is
recommended by the Planning Commission for approval by City Council, the applications would go
before the City Council meeting scheduled for April 22nd, 2019.

Preliminary/Final Plat Approval
As part of the City Platting Ordinance requirements, preliminary and final plat approval is required to
formally plat the existing un-platted addition depicted per City Engineer Mike Alber’s staff
memorandum dated March 12th, 2019 (Exhibit A). The Applicant is requesting to plat the currently un-
platted Brookdale Covenant Church Addition at 5139 Brooklyn Boulevard (PID: 10-118-21-11-0010) in
order for the City to record certain property as City right-of-way.
As is noted in the image below, MnDOT and Hennepin County have or will convey certain property
(highlighted in fuchsia and yellow) to Brookdale Covenant Church, located at 5139 Brooklyn Boulevard,
while Brookdale Covenant Church will convey certain property (highlighted in blue) to the City of Brooklyn
Center. As is noted in hatch marks below, the City of Brooklyn Center and private utility companies will
ultimately encumber certain portions along the east side of the property.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 12, 2019
TO: Ginny McIntosh, City Planner and Zoning Administrator
FROM: Mike Albers, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Preliminary/Final Plat for 5139 Brooklyn Boulevard
Background:
The City completed the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Study in 2013 to guide the reconstruction
and redevelopment of this corridor. On May 9, 2016, the City Council directed staff to proceed
with the preliminary design, environmental documentation, easement acquisition and final design
work for the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Project Phase 1 (49th Avenue to Bass Lake Road),
Project No. 2018-05. The proposed reconstruction and streetscape improvements will improve
roadway and intersection safety, enhance traffic operations and provide improved bicycle and
pedestrian facilities. The project is scheduled to be constructed in 2018 and 2019.
As part of the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Project Phase 1, proposed improvements such as a
reconstruction of Lilac Drive from New Millennium Academy to the new signal at Trunk
Highway (TH) 100 South Ramp, the installation of a new 6’ sidewalk on Lilac Drive and other
streetscape elements have been identified that fall outside of existing public easement areas. The
attached map (Exhibit 2) shows the extent of the easements needed for proposed improvements
within the Brookdale Covenant Church (BCC) owned parcel located along west of Brooklyn
Boulevard.
On December 11, 2017, the City Council authorized execution of Land Exchange Agreement
between the City of Brooklyn Center and Brookdale Covenant Church in order to complete
portions of the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Project Phase 1. The City of Brooklyn Center
acquired the portion of the BCC property depicted in blue on the attached exhibit (the “Lilac
Drive Parcel”). The City owned a parcel of real property abutting the BCC property, depicted in
yellow on the attached exhibit (the “MnDOT Parcel”), which was MnDOT turn back property
and is no longer needed for right-of-way purposes due to the removal of the frontage road. The
MnDOT parcel would be used to mitigate parking on BCC property due to the new signal at TH
100 South Ramp and the extension of Lilac Drive. There are 123 existing parking stall on the
property, after construction of the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Project Phase 1 there will be
120 parking stalls.
In exchange for BCC’s conveyance of the Lilac Drive Parcel, the City i) conveyed the MnDOT
parcel to BCC through the right-of-way vacation process, ii) assisted BCC in acquiring title to
the Gap Parcel; iii) Work on vacating the Gap Parcel with Hennepin County which is no longer
needed for right-of-way purposes due to the removal of the frontage road; and iv) as part of the
project, will perform certain parking and driveway improvements on the Lilac Drive Parcel,
MnDOT Parcel and the Gap Parcel for BCC.
Per the Land Exchange Agreement, the Church Property must be platted before the City can
record its deed in the Lilac Drive Parcel as City right-of-way. BCC is working cooperatively
with the City and Hennepin County to obtain all necessary approvals required for platting.

Exhibit B
M E M O R A N D U M
DATE: April 5, 2019
TO: Ginny Mc Intosh, City Planner and Zoning Administrator
FROM: Andrew Hogg. Assistant City Engineering
SUBJECT: Public Works – Preliminary and Final Plat Review for 5139 Brooklyn Blvd
Public Works Department has staff reviewed the preliminary plat and final plat submittals for the
proposed BROOKDALE COVENANT ADDITION and provide the following
recommendations:
General:
1. The City shall coordinate with Hennepin County for the vacation of the county interest in
the unused Brooklyn Boulevard right of way.
2. An updated certified abstract of title or registered property report should be provided to
the City Engineer and City Attorney for review at the time of the preliminary plat/final
application (within 30 days of preliminary plat application) for property the city has
interest in. Additionally, this will need to stay current and be updated through the
approval process as required to maintain and be current within 30 days of the release of
final plat.
3.Some private site appurtenances (e.g. light poles, signs, etc.) were designed to encroach
on what will be public easement areas upon recording of the final plat. For appurtenances
that will not have any direct impact on the public elements within the easement area, as
allowed and approved by the City, will require an Encroachment Agreement or other
appropriate instrument subsequent to recording of the final plat. The Encroachment
Agreement or other appropriate instrument shall have specific details and requirements
pertaining to the encroachment.
4. Submit two mylar copies of the final plat signed by the surveyor and owner.
All aforementioned items, comments and recommendations are provided based on the
information submitted by the applicant at the time of this review. The preliminary plan and final
plat must be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the referenced plans,
unless modified by the staff recommended conditions above. Subsequent approval of the final
plat may require additional modifications based on the City Engineer and other public officials
having jurisdiction over approval of the final site plans.

DATE: April 11, 2019
TO: City of Brooklyn Center Planning Commission
FROM: Ginny McIntosh, City Planner and Zoning Administrator
SUBJECT: Concept Review for Redevelopment of 5801 Xerxes Avenue North (Former Jerry’s
Food Site)
Recommendation:
Consider a concept development proposal for 5801 Xerxes Avenue North from Real Estate Equities and
provide feedback.
Background:
The concept review process is an opportunity for the Planning Commission to review a development prior
to a formal proposal being submitted to the City by an applicant. This type of review allows the opportunity
to provide comments, ask questions, and indicate whether or not the Planning Commission would be open
to the proposal should it be submitted for review.
A concept review is considered advisory and is nonbinding to the City and the applicant. No formal action
can be taken and the Planning Commission is not being asked to vote on the proposal. If the developer
chooses to submit a formal application to proceed, it would be subject to the full review process, as would
be the case with any other development application.
Concept Proposal
Real Estate Equities (REE) has a purchase agreement on the former Jerry’s Food site property located at
5801 Xerxes Avenue North. The property is 4.79 acres in size and has been vacant since 1999 when the
Jerry’s Food store closed. The building was subsequently demolished in 2003.
At the January 28, 2019, City Council work session, Real Estate Equities presented a concept development
proposal for the former Jerry’s Food site property located at 5801 Xerxes Avenue North. A follow-up to the
concept proposal was provided to the City Council at their meeting on February 11, 2019.
The latest version of the development plans would include approximately 270 units of housing in two
buildings; a four-story, 127-unit affordable workforce multi-family building; and a five-story, 143-unit
affordable independent senior multi-family building. The development would incorporate approximately
337 parking stalls, comprised of both underground and surface type parking, on-site.
The workforce units would be a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom units with rents ranging from $1,001
to $1,380 per month. The senior units would be a mix of one and two-bedroom units with rents from
$1,001 to $1,197 per month. Real Estate Equities has provided a detailed breakdown of their unit mix,
sizes, and projected rents in a project narrative (attached).
COMMISSION ITEM MEMORANDUM
Our Vision: We envision Brooklyn Center as a thriving, diverse community with a full range of housing, business, cultural and
recreational offerings. It is a safe and inclusive place that people of all ages love to call home, and visitors enjoy due to its
convenient location and commitment to a healthy environment
Real Estate Equities is an established local developer and property management company based out of
Saint Paul. They have provided additional information about their company, which is also attached. They
intend to develop, own, and manage the project long term.
Staff has met with Real Estate Equities to discuss the site lay out and development plan; however, staff has
not conducted a detailed review of the proposal. Items such as setbacks, stormwater, grading, traffic
circulation, etc. will all need to be carefully reviewed. Staff has requested a traffic study as part of any
formal application submittal to the City. Adjustments to the site plan may be necessary as more detailed
plans are developed.
As part of their application, Real Estate Equities has already submitted an application for Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) as well as for conduit debt financing.
Given the significance of the project, and since the developers will be in attendance at the meeting this
evening, staff wanted to provide an opportunity for the Planning Commission to ask questions about the
project. Furthermore, as the developers prepare to submit a Planning Commission application to the City, it
would be useful to know if there are any concerns that the Planning Commission has regarding the project
or areas to focus on.
Policy Issues:
•Is the Planning Commission generally supportive of the proposed development concept?
Strategic Priorities and Values:
Targeted Redevelopment

Real Estate Equities Background and Project Narrative for 5801 Xerxes Avenue North
Interior Floor Layouts with Site Plans and Architectural Renderings
Real Estate Equities Background
Real Estate Equities is a residential property management and ownership company
based in St. Paul currently operating mainly in Minnesota, Indiana, and Wisconsin. REE is a
premier property management company with a mission of providing housing, building
communities and enhancing lives, all while instilling our values of Ownership, the Right
Attitude, Knowledge, and Integrity. REE has developed and managed more than 70 projects in
excess of 10,000 housing units with projects spanning from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio,
Missouri, South Dakota as well as Indiana. REE has over 700 units currently under development
today. REE will develop and operate all aspects of the property and will remain as owners for
20+ years.
Direct/Indirect Financial Benefit Analysis
In addition to the considerable social benefits generated from the two-hundred and
sixty-seven senior and workforce housing units there are also significant direct and indirect
financial benefits for the city of Brooklyn Center as listed below:
•As part of the development process the city will also be entitled to several fees
paid at the closing of the land acquisition and start of construction. We are
currently projecting the building permit fee to be approximately $3 20,400 and
issuer fees for the tax-exempt bonds of $119,000 for a total of $439,400.
Based on the average amount of spending per household, that would generate an
additional $2,535,739 in consumer spending that would benefit the local businesses within the
city.
•The proposed project will also generate more indirect financial benefits to th e
city. In order to quantify this, REE reached out to Marquette Advisors to gain
further insight into how the proposed project would affect consumer spending
within the city of Brooklyn Center. After thorough analysis Marquette Advisors
concluded that approximately 65% of the tenants residing in the proposed
development will come from outside the city of Brooklyn Center. In addition,
Marquette Advisors concluded that of the population in Brooklyn Center that
makes less than 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI), the average annual
spending per household, excluding mortgage/insurance/investments, comes to
$14,611/year. Based on this data it could be expected that there would be
approximately 174 new households living, working and spending money in
Brooklyn Center.
Item 6.b Attachments (Concept Review)
Development Summary
The site is located at the 5801 Xerxes Ave N at the corner of County Road 10 and Xerxes
Ave North in Brooklyn Center, MN. The land is currently owned by the ILEX Group Inc. Real
Estate Equities plans to acquire the site and develop 267 senior and workforce affordable
apartments. For this project to be feasible REE has asked the city to provide Tax Increment
Financing throughout the life of the project. When analyzing the project REE understood that
there is a gap in financing of $4.4 million, which REE hopes to fill with the help of Tax Increment
Financing. REE will be responsible for coordinating the predevelopment efforts including: due
diligence, securing financing, design coordination with architects, project bidding and g eneral
contractor selection and city entitlements. Once completed REE will continue to own and
manage the property and provide compliance and asset management services.
The 267 affordable senior and workforce apartments will be 100% affordable and will
consist of one, two, and three bedrooms apartments. The project will have a full-time onsite
management team to manage the property and service the tenants to the best of their ability.
Some of the amenities of the project will include: clubroom and fitness center, arts and crafts
room, dedicated package storage, and underground parking. On top of these amenities each
unit will be furnished with in-unit washer & dryer, solid surface countertops, nine-foot ceilings,
and stainless-steel appliances.
Real Estate Equities plans to continue its due diligence on the site and hopes to work
with the city of Brooklyn Center to provide the city with an investment that the city and its
residents can be proud of.
