RESOLUTION REGARDING RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2024-006 SUBMITTED BY C ALAN
HOMES LLC FOR RE -APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT FOR
ROBERTSON AND BREKKE BROOKLYN BOULEVARD ADDITION (6025, 6031, 6037,
AND 6045 BROOKLYN BOULEVARD)
WHEREAS, Planning Commission Application No. 2024-006 was submitted by C
Alan Homes LLC ("the Applicant") requesting re -approval of the preliminary and final plat for
ROBERTSON AND BREKKE BROOKLYN BOULEVARD ADDITION, which would divide the
four properties currently addressed as 6025, 6031, 6037, and 6045 Brooklyn Boulevard ("the Subject
Property") into seven (7) new triplex lots; and
WHEREAS, the Subject Property was formerly owned by the City of Brooklyn
Center's Economic Development Authority, and following approval of Planning Commission
Application No. 2020-004 and City Council Resolution No. 2020-067, which granted approvals for
the preliminary and final plat, site and building plan, and establishment of a Planned Unit
Development, the Subject Property was subsequently sold to C Alan Homes LLC in December 2020;
and
WHEREAS, conveyance of the Subject Property required the Applicant to enter into
a Purchase and Development Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants, which was filed
with Hennepin County on December 30, 2020 as Document No. 5777831; and
WHEREAS, certain sidewalk maintenance and utility easements were vacated by
City Council under City Council Resolution No. 2020-091, and the easement vacations recorded
with Hennepin County in 2020 under Document No. 5773408; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant ran into delays in filing the final plat (mylar) for
ROBERTSON AND BREKKE BROOKLYN BOULEVARD ADDITION following a request from
Hennepin County for certain property contained within the Subject Property to be quit claimed to
the County for highway right-of-way purposes, which resulted in the City of Brooklyn Center and
Applicant working through the execution of a separate Quit Claim Deed and partial release of the
Purchase and Development Agreement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants in March 2022;
and
WHEREAS, Section 35-8107.5 (Final Plat) of the City of Brooklyn Center City
Code requires the Applicant to file the final plat (mylar) with Hennepin County within one (1) year
following City Council approval, and as the plat was not recorded in time, the plat is now considered
void; and
RESOLUTION NO. 2024-71
WHEREAS, Hennepin County has a copy of the County approved plat for
ROBERTSON AND BREKKE BROOKLYN BOULEVARD ADDITION on file; however, as two
(2) years have passed since its initial approval, updated title work and a current copy of the plat is
required for review and before any plat recording; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was noticed in the Brooklyn Center Sun Post on April
25, 2024, and a hearing scheduled for May 9, 2024; however, the Applicant requested the hearing
be continued due to the Applicant's inability to attend the meeting; and
WHEREAS, as members of the public were present, the Planning Commission held
a duly called public hearing, whereby a staff report was presented, and the public hearing was opened
to allow for public testimony; and
WHEREAS, a motion to continue the public hearing to the June 13, 2024 Planning
Commission meeting was requested by the Planning Commission, a 60-day letter of extension was
issued to the Applicant in accordance with Minnesota Statutes Section 15.99 Subd. 3(f), and the
hearing was ultimately continued at the June 13, 2024 Planning Commission meeting where
additional public testimony was provided for the record; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center has determined during
its review of the preliminary and final plat that said plat is in general conformance with Chapter 35
of the City Code of Ordinances and Sections 35-8106 (Preliminary Plat), 35-8107 (Final Plat), and
35-5100 (Dimensional Standards Summary), and the approximately 1.65-acre Subject Property and
proposed development meets minimum lot width and area requirements as the allowable density
range for the underlying Neighborhood Mixed -Use zoning designation is 15 to 31 dwelling units per
acre (DU/Acre) and the development, as proposed, would fall within this range at 21 dwelling units.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that Planning Commission Application No. 2024-006, as submitted by
C Alan Homes LLC, and requesting re -approval of the preliminary and final plats for ROBERTSON
