From: Diane Niesen
Sent: Sunday, February 26, 2006 11�32 PM
To: Michael McCauley
Subject: Proposed changes to Minutes 2/13/06 C
Item 9d.
Under paragraph, Councilmember Niesen stated the following reasons she does not support the change to the
City Code:
Significant change with unproved need
City stock of post VW1fll homes are completely built out and allowed for a wide configuration of driveways from
small to large/Iong
Only person who spoke at the Planning Commission's public hearing was the author of the ordinance change:
Mr. Willis Dahn.
Has not received one complaint regarding number of cars in driveways
Planning Commission Minutes do not contain arguments or facts as to why the number of cars in driveways
should be limited to six and those who voted in favor did not list reasons
Drove around several neighborhood communities and did not see an abuse of existing law
Ordinance change involves more than just cars, also involves trailers, and since people were allowed to pave
their yards in response to existing laws it doesn't seem fair or reasonable at this point to arbitrarily choose a
number of vehicles that people may have, especially because no parking on City streets is allowed from 2-
S:OOa.m.
Ifa family has six licensed drivers, and has guests stay over, they would be in violation of the law and the result
would be to ticket people for having vehicles on their own paved driveways

Subject: January minutes
Could you please forward this to all Council Members at the meeting on AAonday (2/27/06)?
Regarding the minutes from January, I believe the minutes written by Council Member Niesen are too long and
belabor the discussion too rnuch. l. do not believe i# is appropriate to have these added as a substitute in place o�
the ptevious minutes.
I do believe, however, that the prior minutes written by the Deputy City Clerk had one mistake or omission in
them. In the final sentence, "and the savings on the airfare" should either be added or the last sentence should
be deleted. That is the onl chan e I would su est.

Also, as an FYI: Wells Fargo Bank paid the $500 that they had promised last year to the Ear►e Brown Days
Committee. Cathy Ballot, a EBD board member, stated that Wells Fargo has a new manager and she is hopeful
that they will fulfill all the future community commitments that they make.
Could we add a very brief discussion of the Visit Minneapolis North issue to the work session agenda? I believe
that since Myrna is on the board, she should be aware of it. I wi11 bring the letter with me.

She said CD-ROMs of all LTI sessions and NLC seminars were available for nurchase and

NUMBER OF CARS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS
1. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 19 OF THE CITY
ORDINANCES REGARDING THE PARKING AND/OR STORAGE OF
VEHICLES, TRAILERS AND WATERCRAFT IN FRONT YARDS OR
YARDS ABUTTING A PUBLIC STREET
Mr. McCauley stated the City Council was approached by Mr. Dahn who suggested changes to
the City Code with respect to vehicle parking which was referred ta the Planning Commission
who reviewed the recommendations and recommended one change to Chapter 19 with respect to
the number of cars allowed to park in residential zones.
Councilmember Niesen stated the following reasons she does not support the change to the City
Code:
Significant change without merit.
Wide configuration of driveways that accommodate more than six cars in the City.
Residents did not speak at public hearing showing the change is not supported.
Have not received complaints regarding the number of cars.
Significant reasons for the change were not given.
The Planning Commission minutes do not show anyone putting forth argument or facts as
to why it should be limited and those who voted in favor of did not list reasons.
Have not seen a crying need, only Mr. Dahn.
Councilmember Carmody stated she received a call after the newspaper article stating favor of
the proposal. She explained that when more than six cars are parked at one residence, it tends to
appear like a used car lot. She explained that if the 50% of yard coverage method was used, her
yard could accommodate 12 vehicles. She stated the concern is not a large one, however if you
live near a house who parks more than six cars on their property, it is a concern. Councilmember
O'Connor responded residents should be able to do what they want on their land.
Councilmember O'Connor moved and Councilmember Niesen seconded to change the date of
the second reading and Public Hearing on the ordinanee to March 27, 2006.

Tony Kuefler, 5943 Abbott Avenue, stated favor of limiting the number of vehicles in residential
areas.
Councilmember Lasman stated she has been approached several times regarding this item. She
stated all problems are related to the fact that over six cars is too many. She stated allowing far
six cars, plus gazage stalls is reasonable.
Mayor Kragness stated people that have called on this item are people that are concerned with
how the neighborhoods look and the decreasing value.
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Carmody seconded to approve first reading
and set second reading and Public Hearing on the ordinance for March 27, 2006.

HEIGHTS
2/13/06 -9- DRAFT
Mr. McCauley explained that while reviewing this matter with the Building Official, he
confirmed that the City is more likely to see 18 to 24 inch eaves than 12 inch eaves. He stated
the side yard setbacks are such that there is no safety or particular aesthetic concern with respect
to an eave being another six to 12 inches wider than currently allowed. He stated it is
recommended that this be referred to the Planning Commission for review and potentially
changing the ordinance to provide for a wider eave encroachment. He explained changes in roof
pitch that also affects the needed width of eaves and garage heights.
Councilmember Carmody moved and Councilmember Lasman seconded to refer the eave
overhang depth to the Planning Commission, and refer the garage height ordinance to the

2006-20 Regarding Disposition of COOP Northwest Program Funds.

Councilmember Niesen stated she was contacted by a citizen who was wondering how the City
Council felt on sending a resolution to Hennepin County and the State Representatives about
whether we were in favor of supporting a vote on taxable measures or a levy for the Twins
Stadium. She stated she requested this agenda item so that the City Council could discuss and
decide on a plan. She stated she was going to type a resalution, however she has not found a
sample resolution to this effect. She stated some feel it may not come up in this legislative
session, however Hennepin County indicated that incorrect information has been floating around.

the State legislature to be exempt from this law. He stated in Brooklyn Center the majority of
the people are law abiding and feel they would like an opportunity to vote on the stadium tax.
He requested that the City Council pass a resolution resolving that Hennepin County uphold the
State law requiring a referendum.

INTRODUCTION OF PROPOSAL TO CREATE A CODE OF CITY COUNCIL
POLICIES
City Manger McCauley outlined the proposed Code of City Policies that would provide a
compilation of City Council policies with a table of contents to facilitate reference to the
policies. Currently, there is not such compilation. Adoption of the Code would provide a fresh
starting point and the ability to find City Council policies.
Council Member Niesen asked about the repeal of all former policies. Mr. McCauley affirmed
that undoubtedly there were policy type resolutions since the incorporation of the Village 95
years earlier of which no one is currently aware. The proposal was designed to address this issue
prospectively since new policies would be codified and revisions and deletions would similarly
be treated.
The proposal was for the City Council to review the policies to determine if there were any that
should be deleted. It was proposed that a Code be adopted so that a starting point would be
established. Subsequently, the City Council could propose new policies and adequate time
undertaken to discuss and review such proposals. The City Council was to provide proposed
deletions to the City Manager before the March 13`�' meeting. The City Manager would collate
all of the City Council suggestions and place them on the March 13�' Work Session with a goal
of identifying a proposed Code of City Council Policies for adoption at the March 27�' meeting.
2/13/06 1 DR.AFT
COUNCIL MEMBER NIESEN: CABLE MESSAGE BOARD
Councilmember Niesen stated the message board should display the purpose of the board and
when it is going to be updated. Councilmember Carmody responded she has never heard a
complaint regarding the message board. Mayor Kragness stated it is irritating when the events
listed on the message board are outdated.
Mr. McCauley explained that the technology is outdated and not easy to use. He explained that a
computer based technology would be better manageable and would cost $6,000 to $7,000 to fix
the problem. He stated money was not budgeted for these upgrades; however the City collects
sufficient monies from cable franchise fees to cover this type of expenditure.
Councilmember Niesen stated she would like to see the system upgraded. She requested that all
money from cable go to communications purposes.
It was the consensus of the City Council to go forward with replacing the cable message
generator.
COUNCIL MEMBER O'CONNOR: DISCUSSION OF LIST OF VENDORS OVER
$10,000
Councilmember O'Connor stated the City spent $22,451,672.00 on vendors in 2005. She stated
this does not include wages of $7,615,098. Councilmember O'Connor and Mr. McCauley
discussed the amount spent on wages and benefits.
MAYOR KRAGNESS: DISCUSSION OF CRITERIA FOR CITY BANKING SERVICES
Mayor Kragness stated concern that local banks who contribute more to the community than
others are not the ones getting the City's banking business. Mr. McCauley stated there are
certain requirements of community reinvestments, however relates to loans and not social
services. Mayor Kragness responded Bremer Bank is always providing funding for various
community events and the other major bank holds the City's checking accounts. She explained
that last year, the money promised by the majar bank was not contributed. She stated if a bank
contri butes li ke some do, we shou l d do business with them.
Mr. McCauley stated it is not a criteria that the City can use. He explained that when the City
requests banking servi�es, it has to determine which banks is the best total cost for services. He
stated the City can not give business to a bank in order to get contributions. Councilmember
Carmody stated Kathy Ballet has won awards associated with Earle Brown Days and is
associated with Wells Fargo. Councilmember Lasman stated if the services are comparable; the
City should give the business to Bremer Bank because they contribute to the community.

COUNCIL MEMBER CARMODY: CITY COUNCIL RETREAT
Councilmember Carmody stated she is not interested in having a retreat.

present.
Councilmember O'Connor stated she does not mind if there is no retreat this spring.
Councilmember Niesen stated she does not mind if there is no retreat, however believes that
there are things that could be improved and the retreats are beneficial.
COUNCIL MEMBER O'CONNOR: REVIEW OF 69 BROOKLYN BLVD. LIQUOR
STORE RESULTS
Councilmember O'Connor stated she would like to review the total revenue from both liquor
stores. She stated the full administrative service fee was not transferred and a net income of
$15,000 is showing. She suggested discussing this at the joint meeting with the Financial
Commission in March. She stated it might be a good time to sell both liquor stores.
Mayor Kragness asked Councilmember O'Connor where the profits gained from the liquor
stores, totaling over $100,000 would come from. Councilmember O' Connor responded by
selling the liquor stores, a reduction in administration could take place.
Councilmember Niesen stated the matter could be discussed at the joint meeting with the
Financial Commission in March.
Councilmember Carmody stated concern with the present lease agreement for the facilities. Mr.
McCauley responded if the municipal liquor was abolished, the lease at the Cub Foods site could
be terminated. Mayor Kragness responded the citizens voted for municipal liquors and the City
would lose money if they were to close.
Councilmember O'Connor suggested that the matter be discussed at the Maxch 6, 2006, Work
Session. Councilmember Niesen agreed with Councilmember O'Connor.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 16, 2004
TO: Michael McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Todd Blomstrom, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Resolution Approving Change Order No. 3, Improvement Project No. 2004-14,
Contract 2004-H, Shingle Creek Parkway and Summit Drive Improvements
On May 9, 2005, the City of Brooklyn Center entered into Contract 2004-H with Hardrives, Inc. for
completion of the Shingle Creek Parkway and Summit Drive Street and Utility Improvement project.
Over the course of construction, additional work items were necessary to address construction related
issues resulting from field conditions encounter during the construction process. These additional
work items are itemized on the attached Change Order No. 3.
Change Order No. 3 includes the cost for repairs of irrigation systems along Shingle Creek Parkway
and Summit Drive. Nonresidential properties located along the project corridor are required to have
irrigation systems based on the City's Building Maintenance and Occupancy Ordinance. Sections of
these existing irrigation systems were removed and replaced to allow for the reconstruction of curb
and sidewalk as part of the City improvement project.
Record plans for the existing irrigation systems were not available to allow staff to include the
replacement of irrigation systems in the original contract bid. There was not an effective method for
field locating irrigation lines based on a search of City records and discussions with owners of
commercial properties located along the project corridor. Staff determined that the most cost
effective method of repairing the existing irrigarion systems was to perform the work on a time and
materials basis as described in the proposed change order document.
Change Order No. 3 also includes the cost of $1,080 for custom fabricated signs that were provided
to assist in guiding vehicle traffic through the construction corridor during partial closure of streets
within the work zone. To date, the total change order amount for Contract 2004-H is $56,749.66.
This amount represents less than 3 percent of the original contract amount.
Attached for consideration is a City Council resolution approving Change Order No. 3 for the
Shingle Creek Parkway and Summit Drive Improvement Project, Contract 2004-H.

From: Daniel Jordet
Director of Fiscal Support Services
Re: Statutory Tort Liability Limits
Each year the City Council must choose whether to waive the statutory
limitations on tort liability. If these limitations are waived, additional insurance
should be purchased to cover potential liabilities. To this point, the City Council
has chosen not to waive the statutory limitations on tort liability. This has saved
the City of Brooklyn Center about 7,000 each year in additional tort liability
insurance premium payments.

LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES INSURANCE TRUST
LIABILITY COVERAGE WAIVER FORM
Cities obtaining liability coverage from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust must decide
whether or not to waive the statutory tort liability limits to the extent of the coverage purchased. The
decision to waive or not to waive the statutory limits has the following effects:
o If the city does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant would be able to recover no
more than $300,OOO.on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total which all c(aimants
would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would be
limited to $1,000,000. These statutory tort limits would apply regardless of whether or not the city
purchases the optional excess liability coverage.
lf the city waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage, a single
claimant could potentially recover up to $1,000,000. on a single occurrenee. The total which all
claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would
also be limited to $1,000,000., regard4ess of the number of claimants.
If fhe city waives the stafutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single claimant
could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The total which all
claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would
also be limited to the amount of coverage purchased, regardless of the number of claimants.
Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this decision.
This decision must be made by the city council. Cities purchasing coverage must complete and
return this form to LMCIT before the effective date of the coverage. For further information, contact

I. Explanation of Improvements
The proposed project includes roadway, storm drainage, and utility improvements for the
Centerbrook Area Neighborhood. The project was previously established by the City Council on
August 22, 2005 by Resolution 2005-126. On January 23, 2006 the City Council received the
feasibility report and called for a public heaxing for February 27, 2006 to consider these
improvements.
The feasibility report provides a description of the recommended improvements for the
neighborhood and an estimated project budget. The proposed improvements can generally be
described as follows:
6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Recreation and Community Center Phone TDD Number
Brooklyn Center, MN 55430-2199 (763) 569-3400
City Hall TDD Number (763) 569-3300 FAX (763) 569-3434

1. Street Improvements including base preparation, installation of concrete curb and
gutter and driveway aprons, bituminous paving, installation of street lighting,
replacement of street signs, and boulevard restoration;
2. Storm Drainage Improvements including installation of new storm sewers, repair
and replacement of existing storm sewers, installation of new and repair and
replacement of existing catch basins and manholes;
3. Water Main Improvements including the replacement of existing cast iron water
main pipes, installation of new valves, hydrants and fittings; and
4. Sanitary Sewer Main Improvements including replacement of sanitary sewer pipes
and access structures.
II. Summary Explanation of Assessments
Assuming the City Council orders the above described improvements and authorizes
development of plans and specifications for Improvement Project Nos. 2006-01, and 2006-02,
Centerbrook Area Neighborhood Street and Storm Drainage improvements, it is recommended
that the City Council hold a second public hearing to consider certifying special assessments far
these improvements to the Hennepin County tax rolls.
O�l November 14, 2005, the City Council adopted 2006 special assessment rates for street and
storm drainage improvements which include the 2006 R-1 zoned residential rates of $3,038 for
street improvements and $940 for storm drainage improvements. Special assessments were
ial zoned ro erties located alon the
calculated on a ercenta e bas
is for the four commerc g
P g
P P
northern portion of Lilac Drive. All of the properties in the project area have received
assessment notices specifying these rates.
The feasibility report included a preliminary assessment roll identifying 136 properties for
s ecial assessment of street and storm draina e s
ecial assessment.

Public Comments
I Some property owners may choose to object to a special assessment; other property owners may
choose to appeal an assessment. An objection is typically a concern expressed by the property
owner about the amount of the assessment, or perhaps an assertion that they are not responsible
for its payment.
i An appeal is a legal challenge to the assessment. Property owners must file with the City Clerk
a written notice of objection before or at the public hearing, and then follow up with service of
notice of appeal on the City and filing with district court. These types of disputes often require
both parties to obtain appraisals and review and possibly negotiate assessments, and can lead to
legal hearings.
Should objections or appeals be filed with the Clerk prior to the public hearing, or should any
person appear at the hearing and object to or appeal an assessment, it is recommended that the
Council refer any substantive objections to staff for a report back to the Council at a continued
hearing. An example might be an issue whereby staff would need to research the history of a
particular complaint, and assemble documentation. The Council should consider removing the
objected-to assessment from the proposed levy roll and adopting the remaining proposed
assessments.
If appeals are filed, staff and the City Attorney will advise the Council of options for handling
the dispute and the litigation.
Payment Options Available to Property Owners
Once an assessment roll is adopted by the Council, the owner of each property has the
following payment options:
1. Pay the entire amount of the special assessment, without interest, between March 1 and
September 30, 2006.
2. From October 1, 2006 to the end of the business day on November 29, 2006, the
property owner may pay the total assessment, with interest calculated from October 1,
2006 to the date of payment.
3. If payments are made with property taxes, the first payment will be due with ta�ces in
2007. The total principle will be payable in annual installments for the period stated on
the levy roll. Interest is paid on the unpaid balance.
4. Partial prepayments (such as paying half now and certifying the balance) are not
allowed under current assessment policy.
III. Recommended Council Procedure
First Public Hearing to Order Improvements
It is recommended that Council receive a staff presentation prior to holding the first public
hearing. Following the presentation, a public hearing to consider ordering the Improvement
Project should be conducted to receive public comments. Public comments concerning special
rin he
assessments should be deferred to the second public hearing. A resolution orde g t
improvements and authorizing development of the plans and specifications is provided for
Council consideration u on closin of the first ublic hearing.

Second Public Hearing for Special Assessments
After taking action on the first proposed resolution to order the project, it is recommended that
the Council then conduct a second public hearing on the proposed special assessments. The
attached resolution certifying special assessments for street and storm drainage improvements for
Improvement Project Nos. 2006-01 and 2006-02, Contract 2006-A, Centerbrook Area
Neighborhood to the Hennepin County tax rolls is provided for Council consideration upon

Planning Coxnmission Information Sheet
Application No. 2006-001
Applicant: S P Brooklyn Center, LLC
Location: Southeast Corner of 66th and Camden Avenues North (615 66th Avenue North)
Request: Planned Unit Development Amendment
The applicant, Mr. Jim LaValle on behalf of S P Brooklyn Center, LLC, is seeking a Planned
Unit Development Amendment and building plan approval for a 10,000 sq. ft. multi tenant retail
building at the southeast corner of 66`� and Camden Avenues North on a 1.284 acre pareel of
land addressed as 615 66�' Avenue North. The property in question is zoned PUD/C-2 (Planned
Unit Development/Commerce) and is bounded on the north by 66` Avenue with R-3 (Multiple
Family Residence Townhomes) zoned property and C-2 (Commerce) zoned property on the
opposite side of the street; on the east by C-2 zoned property containing a SuperAmerica station;
on the south by PUD/C-2 zoned property containing the Regal Theatre; and on the west by
Camden Avenue with R-5 (Multiple Family Residence) zoned property containing the Melrose
Gates Apartments on the opposite side of the street.
A Planned Unit Development Rezoning from C-2 to PUD/C-2 and development plan approval
for a 20 screen, 85, 240 sq. ft. Regal Theatre was approved by the City Council under Resolution
No. 98-133 on July 27, 1998. Attached for the Commission's review is a copy of that resolution
containing various findings, considerations and conditions of approval for that proposal. The
land rezoned at that time consisted of the Regal Theatre site and two other sites along Camden
Avenue, one to the north of the theatre, the other to the south of the theatre, which were
identified and referred to during this process as "pad site 2" and "pad site 3". Pad site 2 is the
parcel currently under consideration in this application (615 66 Avenue North). Condition Na
15 of the City Council's Resolution regarding these sites states in part that "future development
of this area is subject to amendment to this Planned Unit Development". Condition No. 16 of the
same resolution prohibits future development of pad site 2 and and pad site 3 as "a fast
food/convenience food restaurant, a gasoline service station/convenience store, car wash, pawn
shop or check cashing operation." At the time of the theatre development, the owner anticipated
development on these �ites of sit down restaurants, however, future development was not
restricted to that. Other uses allowed in the underlying G2 zoning district, other than those
excluded from consideration by the approving resolution, can be considered for development of
these sites. This application is in response to those conditions relating to development of this
portion of the PUD.
As the Commission is aware, the PUD process involves a rezoning of land to the PUD
designation followed by an Alpha Numeric designation of the underlying zoning designation.
This underlying zoning district provides the regulations governing uses and structures within the
Planned Unit Development. The rules and regulations governing that district (in this case C-2)
2-13-06
Page 1
would apply to the development proposal unless the City were to determine that another standazd
or use would be appropriate given mitigating circumstances that are offset by the plans submitted
by the developer. One of the purposes of the PUD district is to give the City Council the needed
flexibility in addressing development and redevelopment problems. Regulations governing uses
and structures may be modified by conditions ultimately imposed by the City Council on the
development plans. The PUD process involves a rezoning of land and, therefore, is subject to
meeting the City's Rezoning Evaluation Policy and Review Guidelines that are contained in
Section 35-208 of the City's Zoning Ordinance. Also, proposals must be consistent with Section
35-355 of the City's Zoning Ordinance, which addresses Planned Unit Developments. Attached
for the Commission's review are copies of Section 35-208 and 35-355 of the City's Zoning
Ordinance. As mentioned previously, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the
overall PUD for this area of the city. That resolution contained the various findings and
considerations necessary for approving the PUD. These findings and considerations were made
given the applicant's use and this amendment is to acknowledge the building aetails and location
for another development within the PUD zoning district through an amendment process.
Approval of this Planned Unit Development should acknowledge compatibility with the Policy
and Review Guidelines of the previously mentioned Section 35-208 and also the provisions of
Section 35-355 of the Zoning Ordinance.
It is believed that the proposed amendment submitted by the applicant is in keeping with the
findings and considerations associated with the original approval. The proposed amendment can
be considered consistent and compatible with sunounding land uses in the area. The
development plan amendment being submitted will bear fully the ordinance development
restrictions for the proposed development as provided for in the underlying zoning district. No
modifications from the underlying zoning requirements are being sought. It is believed that the
proposed use of the property will be, as shown in the site and building plan portion of this report,
consistent and compatible with the immediate area surrounding the property as well as uses in the
general vicinity. The proposal appears to be a good use of the property in the context of overall
development in this area and will be a good long range use and can be considered to be in the
best interest of the community.
SITE AND BUILDING PLAN PROPOSAL
The proposed PUD Amendment calls for a 10,000 sq. ft. multi tenant retail building to be located
in the approximate center of a 1.284 acre site adjacent to, and west of, the SuperAmerica gas
station/convenience store located on 66`� Avenue North in the vicinity of T.H. 252.
ACCESS/PARKING
Access to the site is off 66 Avenue North at a shared access with the SuperAmerica property.
The property line sepazating the sites is in the approximate center of this access. No other access
is being considered. It should be noted that no cross access is being proposed between this site
and the Regal Theatre site to the south. Such cross access would be discouraged to prevent cut
2-13-06
Page 2
through traffic from the theatre to 66 Avenue North. A signalized intersection exists at 66` and
Camden to handle theatre traffic.
Parking for this 10,000 sq. ft. multi tenant retail space is based on the retail parking formula
which required 5.5 parking spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor azea. This results in a
requirement of 55 parking spaces.
In multi tenant retail centers, no additional parking spaces beyond those required by the retail
parking formula are required of restaurant uses which occupy not more than 15 percent of the
gross floor area of the building. This means that up to 1,500 sq. ft. of the center can be occupied
by restaurant uses without adding additional parking for restaurant seats and employees. As
noted previously, fast food/convenience food restaurants are not allowed to be located within the
PUD based on the Condition No. 16 of Resolution No. 98-133. Also, per the requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance, fast food/ convenience food restaurants are not allowed to abut R-1, R-2 or
R-3 zoned property including abutment at .a street line. This property abuts R-3 zoned property
on the opposite side of 66` Avenue North.
A convenience food restaurant is defined in the Zoning Ordinance as "an establishment with over
40 dining seats or in a separate building, whose principal business is the sale of foods, frozen
desserts, or beverages to the customer in a ready to eat state for consumption either within the
premises or for carry out with consumption either on or off the premises, and whose design or
principal method of operation includes both of the following characteristics:
1. Foods, frozen desserts or beverages are usually served in edible containers or in
paper, plastic, or other disposable containers.
2. Customer is not served food at his/her table by an employee but receives it at a
counter, window, or similar facility for carrying to another location on or off the
premises for consumption."
The applicant plans to have a coffee shop occupy the east end of the building with a drive up
window. If the facility has less than 40 seats it is not considered a"convenience food
restaurant". Such a use occupying over 1,500 sq. ft. will, however, require parking based on the
seat/employee ratio for over 1,500 sq. ft. There aze 64 parking spaces on the site, nine more than
required by the ordinance. Three handicap spaces are to be provided. Access to the proposed
drive up window will generally be counter clock wise around a trash enclosure. Angle parking is
provided to the east of the drive land to accommodate this traffic flow. It is recommended that a
directional sign or signs, be provided to prohibit south bound traffic between the building and the
parking area on the east side of the site. The ability to stack vehicles leading up to the drive up
window is sufficient to handle the expected volume.
GRADIlNG/DRAINAGE/UTILITIES
The applicant has provided grading, drainage, utility and erosion control plans which are being
reviewed by the Director of Public Works/City Engineer who will be providing written
comments for these proposals. Parking and driving areas on the site are required to be bound by
2-13-06
Page 3
a minimum of B-612 curb and gutter. This includes driving and parking areas and concrete
delineator areas proposed for the site. Storm sewer will serve the site and tie into existing stonn
sewer conneeted to a retention pond located on the Regal Theatre site. This pond was sized to
handle development within the area and was part of the Regal Theatre grading plan. Water and
sanitary sewer mains are located in a 40 ft. wide public easement, 20 ft. of which are on the east
end of the proposed site and 20 ft. of which are on the west end of the SuperAmerica site. Water
will be tied into that main and service the south side of the building. Sanitary sewer will be
connected �o the east end of the proposed building.
LANDSCAPING
The applicant has submitted a landscape plan in response to the landscape point system used to
evaluation such plans. This 1.28 acres site requires 102.41andscape points. The applicant's plan
indicates that their proposal has 168.5 landscape points, however, they have not calculated
correctly. They provide four shade trees at ten points each, three coniferous trees at ten points
each (rather than six points each); five decorative trees at six points each (rather than 1.5 points
each); and 137 shrubs at .5 points each (only 25 percent of the total required points, or 25.6
points, can be for shrubs). Given the current plan they would have 91.1 points, 11.3 point short
of the minimum. An additional coniferous tree and a few decorative trees or some other
combination, should be added to the landscape plan in order to meet our point system
requirements. The plan otherwise appears to be appropriate as for location and types of
plantings. Proposed shade trees include Northwood Red Maple, Little Leaf Linden, Red Oak or
Marshall's Seedless Ash; coniferous trees would be Scotch Pine, Colorado Green Spruce, Black
Hills Spruce, or arborvitae; decorative trees would be Service Berry, Thornless Cockspur
Hawthorne, Amir Choke Cherry, Flowering Crab Apple or Japanese Lilac; shrubs would be Bush
Honeysuckle, Red Twig Dogwood, Compact American Vibertum, Alpine Currant, Spirea, Dwarf
Korean Lilac, Shrub Roses, Sea Green Juniper, Savin Juniper or Tawnton Spreading Yew. All
appear to be appropriate mixes of landscaping for the site. Amendment to the plan so that the
point systern is met should be a condition of the approval of this application.
BUILDING
The applicant has submitted building elevations showing the proposed multi tenant building.
The building exterior would be primarily a prefinished split face block with a contrasting single
score smooth face concrete block accent. A decorative drive-it cornice crown in an off white
color would skirt the top of the building. A drive-it exterior finish on rigid insulation would be
located above the display windows for each of the proposed tenant spaces. A canopy awning
over the drive thru window would be located at the east end af the building.
LIGHTING/TRASH
The applicant has submitted a lighting plan indicating the location of various exterior lighting
and the photo metrics indicating foot eandles throughout the site. Six freestanding lights are
located around the perimeter of the site and ten wall mounted lights, five on the north elevation,
2-13-06
Page 4
three on the south elevation and one eaeh on the east and west elevations. All lights are to be a
cut off type fixture directing light down on the site. The lighting plan appears to be consistent
with city ordinances with respect to foot candles and concern that light be directed down on the
site and not create glare. The trash container will be located at the southeast eorner of the site
and is to be a prefinished concrete block to match the building. The height of the structure is 6 ft.
and it contains a solid opaque gate.
PROCEDURE
As pointed out previously, this proposal is an amendment to the Planned Unit Development
approval granted at the time of the Regal Theatre Planned Unit Development proposal. As a
Planned Unit Development, the proposal is required to follow the procedures followed for the
original Planned Unit Development. This requires a public hearing, which has been scheduled.
Notices of the Planning Commission's consideration have been sent and a notice has also been
published in the Brooklyn Center Sun/Post.
All in all, we believe the plan is in order and consistent with the original development plan
approval and, therefore, we would recommend approval of the amendment. Approval of this
application should acknowledge the findings, considerations and conditions that are comparable
to those made at the time the City Council approved the original Planned Unit Developrnent. A
draft Planning Commission Resolution is offered for the Commission's consideration. 'This
resolution outlines the Commission's consideration of the matter and also recommended
considerations and conditions for approvaL

Water and sanitary sewer utility services are provided to the proposed development site from existing
water and sanitary sewer mains extending along the eastern property line. The following
recommendations are provided for consideration.
1. City record plans indicate that the existing water main located along the eastern property
boundary is a 6-inch diameter water main. The Utility Plan shall be revised to indicate the

Storm Water Management
During construction of the Regal Theater site, a 15-inch diameter storzn sewer was extended from the
southern boundary of the proposed development site to the existing storm water management pond
located adjacent to Highway 252. This service stub is intended to provide a drainage outlet for the
praposed development. A copy of the utility conshuction plan for the Regal T'heater site is attached to
this memorandum.
1. The Utility Plan and Grading Plan currently show proposed storm sewer from the site extending
east and connecting to existing storm sewer within the Super America site. The storm sewer
within the Super America site was not designed to convey storm water runoff from the proposed
development site. The Utility Plan and Grading Plan shall be revised to include the installation
of a storm sewer connection to the existing 15-inch diameter storm sewer stub located along the
south property line of the site.
2. The existing storm water pond located within the Regal Theater site is designated to provide
storm water runoff rate control and water quality treatment for the proposed development.
Permanent on-site storm water best management practices are not necessary to accommodate the
proposed site development.
3. Storm sewer shall be extended to the western edge of the proposed parking lot and at least one
catch basin shall be installed along the west curb line to collect runoff from the western portion
of the site.
4. Temporary erosion control inlet protection measures shall be placed at all existing and new
catch basins located within the site until final pavement and turf restoration work is complete.
5. Erosion control silt fence shall be installed along the perimeter of the property until turf
restoration work is complete.
6. An NPDES construction site erosion control permit must be obtained from the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency prior to disturbing the site.
The above comments are provided based on the information submitted by the applicant at the time of
this review. Subsequent appzoval of the final site plans may require additional modifications or
easement dedications based on engineering requirements associated with final design of the water
supply, storm drainage, sanitary sewer, gas and electric service, final grading and geometric design as
established by public officials having jurisdiction over approval of the final site plans.

Section 35-208. REZONING EVALUATION POLICY AND REVIEW GUIDELINES.
1. Puroose
The City Council finds that effective maintenance of the comprehensive planning and
land use classifications is enhanced through uniform and equitable evaluation of
periodic proposed changes to this Zoning Ordinance; and for this purpose, by the
adoption of Resolution No. 77-167, the City Council has established a rezoning
evaluation policy and review guidelines.
2. Policv
It is the policy of the City that: a) zoning classifications must be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, and b) rezoning proposals shall not constitute "spot zoning",
defined as a zoning decision which discriminates in favor of a particular landowner,
and does not relate to the Comprehensive Plan or to accepted planning principles.
3. Procedure
Each rezoning proposal will be considered on its merits, measured against the above
policy and against these guidelines which may be weighed collectively or
individually as deemed by the City.
4. Guidelines
a. Is there a clear and public need or benefit?
b. Is the proposed zoning consistent with and compatible with surrounding land
use classifications?
c. Can all permitted uses in the proposed zoning district be contemplated for
development of the subject property?
d. Have there been substantial physical or zoning classification changes in the
area since the subject property was zoned?
e. In the case of City-initiated rezoning proposals, is there a broad public
purpose evident?
f. Will the subj ect property bear fully the ordinance development restrictions for
the proposed zoning districts?
g. Is the subj ect property generally unsuited for uses permitted in the present
zoning district, with respect to size, configuration, topography or location?
City of Brooklyn Center 35-4 City Ordinance
h. Will the rezoning result in the expansion of a zoning district, warranted by:
1) Comprehensive Planning; 2) the lack of developable land in the proposed
zoning district; or 3) the best interests of the community?
i. Does the proposal demonstrate merit beyond the interests of an owner or
owners of an individual parcel?
Section 35-210. REZONIlVG APPLICATION PROCEDURES AND
RECONSIDERATION. The following rules shall govern applications for amendments to the Zoning
Ordinance hereinafter referred to as"Rezoning Applications":
1. Procedures
a. A rezoning application may be initiated by the City Council, the Planning
Commission, or by the owner of the subject property. Any such application
shall be refened to the Planning Commission for public hearing, study, and
report and may not be acted upon by the City Council until it has received the
recommendation of the Commission, or until seventy-eight (78) days have
elapsed from the date of referral of the application without a report by the
Planning Commission. The date of referral is defined as the date of the
public hearing.
b. The a licant or his authorized a ent shall fill out and submit to the Secret
�'Y
PP g
of the Planning Commission a"zoning application", copies of which aze
available at the municipal offices, together with a fee in an amount as set
forth by City Council resolution. The application shall be filed with the
Secretary of the Planning Commission at least seventeen (17) days befare the
date of the public hearing.
c. The Secretary of the Planning Commission shall refer the matter to the
Planning Commission by placing the application upon the agenda of the
Commission's next regular meeting; provided, however, that the Secretary
may, with the approval of the Chairman of the Commission, place the
application on the agenda for a special meeting of the Planning Commission.
d. Not less than ten (10) days before the date of the hearing the Secretary af the
Planning Commission shall mail notice of the hearing to the applicant and to
the property owners within 350 feet (including streets) of the subject
property. The failure of any such owner or occupant to receive such notice
shall not invalidate the roceedin s hereunder.
P g
e. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the hearing the Secretary shall
publish a notice of hearing in the official newspaper.
City of Brooklyn Center 35-5 City Ordinance
2) Public recreational buildings and parks, playgrounds and athletic
fields.
3) Signs as permitted in the Brooklyn Center Sign Ordinance.
Section 35-355. PLANNED iJNIT DEVELOPMENT.
Subdivision 1. Purpose.
The purpose of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) district is to promote flexibility in land
development and redevelopment, preserve aesthetically significant and environmentally
sensitive site features, conserve energy and ensure a high quality of design.
Subdivision 2. Classification of PUD Districts; Permitted Uses; Apnlicable Re�ulations.
a. Upon rezoning for a PUD, the district shall be designated by the letters
"PUD" followed by the alphanumeric designation of the underlying zoning
district which may be either the prior zoning classification or a new
classification. In cases of mixed use PUDs, the City Council shall, whenever
reasonably practicable, specify underlying zoning classifications for the
various parts of the PUD.
When it is not reasonably practicable to so specify underlying zoning
classifications, the Council may rezone the district, or any part thereof, to
"PUD-MIXED."
b. Regulations governing uses and structures in PUDs shall be the same as those
governing the underlying zoning district subject to the following:
1. Regulations may be modified expressly by conditions imposed by the
Council at the time of rezoning to PUD.
2. Regulations are modified by implication only to the extent necessary
to comply with the development plan of the PUD.
3. In the case of districts rezoned to PUD-MIXED, the Council shall
specify regulations applicable to uses and structures in various parts
of the district.
City of Braoklyn Center 35-47 City Ordinance
c. For purposes of determining applicable regulations for uses or structures on
land adjacent to or in the vicinity of the PIJD district which depend on the
zoning of the PUD district, the underlying zoning classification of PUD
districts shall be deemed to be the zoning classification of the district. In the
case of a district zoned PUD-MIXED, the underlying zoning classification
shall be deemed to be the classification which allows as a permitted use any
use which is permitted in the PUD district and which results in the most
restrictive regulation of adjacent or nearby properties.
Subdivision 3. Development Standards.
a. A PUD shall have a minimuxn area of one acre, excluding land included
within the floodway or flood fringe overlay districts and excluding existing
rights-of-way, unless the City finds that at least one of the following
conditions exists:
1. There are unusual physical features of the property or of the
surrounding neighborhood such that develapment as a PUD will
conserve a physical or terrain feature of importance to the
neighborhood or community;
2. The properiy is directly adjacent to or across a public right-of-way
from property which previously was developed as a PUD and the new
PUD will be perceived as and function as an extension of that
previously approved development; or
3. The property is located in a transitional area between different land
uses and the development will be used as a buffer between the uses.
b. Within a PUD, overall density for residential developments shall be
consistent with Section 35-400 of this ordinance. Individual buildings or lots
within a PUD may exceed these standards, provided that density for the entire
PUD does not exceed the permitted standards.
c. Setbacks, buffers and greenstrips within a PUD shall be consistent with
Section 35-400 to 35-414 and Section 35-700 of this ordinance unless the
developer can demonstrate to the City's satisfaction that a lesser standard
should be permitted with the addition of a screening treatment or other
mitigative measures.
City of Brooklyn Center 35-48 City Ordinance
i
d. Parking provided for uses within a PUD shall be consistent with the parking
requirements contained in Section 35-704 of this ordinance unless the
developer can demonstrate to the City's satisfaction that a lesser standard
should be permitted on the grounds of the complementarity of peak parking
demands by the uses within the PUD. The City may require execution of a
restrictive covenant limiting future use of the property to those uses which
will continue this parking complementarity, or which aze otherwise approved
by the City.
Subdivision 4. General Standards.
a. The City may allow more than one principal building to be constructed on
each platted lot within a PUD.
b. A PUD which involves only one land use or a single housing type may be
permitted provided that it is otherwise consistent with the putposes and
objectives of this section.
c. A PUD may only contain uses consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
d. All property to be included within a PUD shall be under unified ownership or
control or subj ect to such legal restrictions or covenants as may be necessary
to ensure compliance with the approved development plan and site plan.
e. The uniqueness of each PUD requires that specifications and standards for
streets, utilities, public facilities and the approval of land subdivision maybe
subject to modifications from the City ordinances generally governing them.
The City Council may, therefore, approve streets, utilities, public facilities
and land subdivisions which are not in compliance with usual specifications
or ordinance requirements where it is found that such are not required in the
interests of the residents or of the City, except that these subdivisions and
plans must be in conformance with all watershed, state, and federal storm
water, erosion control, and wetlands requirements.
Subdivision 5. Annlication and Review.
a. Implementatian of a PUD shall be controlled by the development plan. The
development plan may be approved or disapproved by the City Council after
evaluation by the Planning Commission.
Submission of the development plan shall be made to the Director of
Planning and Inspection on such forms and accompanied by such information
and documentation as the City may deem necessary or convenient, but shall
include at a minimum the following:
City of Brooklyn Center 35-49 City Ordinance
1. Street and utility locations and sizes;
2. A drainage plan, including location and size of pipes and water
storage areas;
3. A grading plan, including temporary and permanent erosion control
provisions;
4. A landscape plan;
5. A lighting plan;
6. A plan for timing and phasing of the development;
7. Covenants or other restrictions proposed for the regulation of the
development;
8. A site plan showing the location of all structures and parking areas;
9. Building renderings or elevation drawings of all sides of all buildings
to be constructed in at least the first phase of development; and
10. Pro osed underl 'n zonin classification or classifications.
P Yi g g
Such information may be in a preliminary form, but shall be sufficiently
complete and accurate to allow an evaluation of the development by the City.
b. The Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on the development
plan. Notice of such public hearing shall be published in the official
newspaper and actual notice shall be mailed to the applicant and adjacent
property owners as required by Section 35-210 of this ordinance. The
Planning Commission shall review the development plan and make such
recommendations as it deems appropriate regarding the plan within the time
limits established by Section 35-210 of this ordinance.
c. Following receipt of the recommendations of the Planning Commission, the
City Council shall hold such hearing as it deems appropriate regarding the
matter. The City Council shall act upon the development plan within the
time limits established by Section 35-210 of this ordinance.
Approval of the development plan shall constitute rezoning of the property to
PUD and conceptual approval of the elements of the plan. In addition to the
guidelines provided in Section 35-208 of this ordinance, the City Council
shall base its actions on the rezoning upon the following criteria:
City of Brooklyn Center 35-50 City Ordinance
1. Compatibility of the plan with the standards, purposes and intent of
this section;
2. Consistency of the plan with the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan;
3. The impact of the plan on the neighborhood in which it is to be
located; and
4. The adequacy of internal site organization, uses, densities, circulation,
parking facilities, public facilities, recreational areas, open spaces,
and buffering and landscaping.
The City Council may attach such conditions to its approval as it may
determine to be necessary to better accomplish the purposes of the PUD
district.
d. Prior to construction on any site zoned PUD, the developer shall seek plan
approval pursuant to Section 35-230 of this ordinance. In addition to the
information specifically required by Section 35-230, the developer shall
submit such information as may be deemed necessary or convenient by the
City to review the consistency of the proposed development with the
approved development plan.
The plan submitted for approval pursuant to Section 35-230 shall be in
substantial compliance with the approved development plan. Substantial
compliance shall mean that buildings, parking areas and roads are in
essentially the same location as previously approved; the number of dwelling
units, if any, has not increased or decreased by more than 5 percent; the floor
area of nonresidential areas has not been increased or decreased by more than
5 percent; no building has been increased in the number of floors; open space
has not been decreased or altered from its original design or use, and lot
coverage of any individual building has not been increased or decreased by
more than 10 percent.
e. Prior to construction on any site zoned PUD, the developer shall execute a
development agreement in a form satisfactory to the City.
f. Applicants may combine development plan approval with the plan approval
required by Section 35-230 by subrnitting all information required for both
simultaneously.
g. After approval of the development plan and the plan approval required by
Section 35-230, nothing shall be constructed on the site and no building
permits shall be issued except in conformity with the approved plans.
City of Brooklyn Center 35-51 City Ordinance
I
h. If within 12 months following approval by the City Council of the
development plan, no building permits have been obtained or, if within 12
months after the issuance of building pernuts no construction has commenced
on the area approved for the PUD district, the City Council may initiate
rezoning of the properly.
i. Any maj or amendment to the development plan rnay be approved by the City
Council following the same notice and hearing procedures specified in this
section. An amendment shall be considered major if it involves any change
greater than that permitted by Subdivision Sd of this section. Changes which
aze determined by the City Council to be minor may be made if approved by
the Planning Commission after such notice and hearing as may be deemed
appropriate by the Planning Commission.

Acting Chair Willson opened the floor for nominations. Tl�ere was a motion by Commissioner
Boeck and seconded by Commissinoer Roche to table election of Officers until a subsequent
Planning Commission meeting so that that the Commission would be at full membership
capacity with all members in attendance.
CHAIR' S EXPLANATION
Chair Willson explained the Planning Commission's role as an advisory body. One of the
Commission's functions is to hold public hearings. In the matters concerned in these hearings,
the Commission makes recommendations to the City Council. The City Council makes all final
decisions in these matters.
APPLICATION NO. 2006-001 SP BROOKLYN CENTER, LLC
Chair Willson introduced Application No. 2006-001, a request for Planned Unit Development
Amendment and development plan approval for a 10,000 sq. ft. multi tenant building at 615 66
Avenue North. The property is zoned PUD/G2 (Planned Unit Development/Commerce).
Mr. Warren presented the staff report describing the location of the property and the proposal.
(See Planning Commission Information Sheet dated 2-13-06 for Application No. 2006-041, and
the Director of Public Works' memo dated 2-10-06, attached.) A Planned Unit Development
Rezoning from G2 to PUD/C-2 and development plan approval for a 20 screen, 85, 240 sq. ft.
Regal Theatre was approved by the City Council under Resolution No. 98-133 on July 27, 1998.
This application is an amendment to the approval.
Cornmissioner Rahn asked for clarification in defining a fast food restaurant in relation to the
number of seats in such a facility. Mr. Warren explained the requirements for seating and
parking that defines a fast food/convenience food restaurant in a strip mall versus a freestanding
building.
Commissioner Roche asked if there could be a coffee shop and fast food type restaurant in this
strip ma1L Mr. Warren responded that these two businesses would have to meet the parking
requirements and probably could not do so. He noted that a"fast food/convenience food
restaurant" is not allowed because of Resolution No. 98-133 and also because of the R-3
abutment across 66 Avenue North.
Chair Willson asked if any shared parking agreements had been discussed with Regal Theatre.
Mr. Warren responded that he was not aware of any agreement and that the Regal Theatre site
does not, to his knowledge, have any excess parking spaces that could be dedieated for such a
use. He added that such an agreement would be subject to approval by the City.
PUBLIC HEARING APPLICATION NO. 2006-001
There was a motion by Commissioner Boeck, seconded by Commissioner Roche to open the
public hearing on Application No. 2006-001, at 7:50 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.
Chair Willson called for comments from the public.
The Chair recognized the applicant, Mr. Jim LaVelle, 7800 Metro Boulevard, Bloomington. He
stated that he is willing to cooperate with landscape and engineering concerns including the
existing encroachment on the sidewalk. He added that they are willing to comply with the city
and understand the parking requirements per city ordinances. He pointed out that they have a
number of potential tenants, none of which have been signed at this time, and are working to
acquire tenants that will be good for the neighborhood
Commissioner Boeck asked if the applicant is familiar with the City Engineer's concerns noted
in his memo. Mr. LaVelle responded that they do understand what the City Engineer is
requesting and have no problem meeting his requests.
Ms. Susan Fussell, Architect with Louck's and Associates, stated that she has read the report
written by the City Engineer and understands and will comply with his eoncerns. Commissioner
Boeck asked about drainage from the site. Ms. Fussell responded that the site has been designed
so as to allow water to drain from the higher end of the lot but they will look at doing some
regrading that will allow some drainage to the western edge of the site. They will also look at
additional catch basins on the western edge of the property.
Commissioner Roche inquired about the landscape plans and asked the applicant if they would
review plans further to continue with the existing landscape look along Camden and 66
Avenues. Mr. LaVelle stated that would be no problem and he would discuss it with the
landscape architect.
Commissioner Roche inquired of the applicant if there were any plans to alter the existing island
area at the shared access on 66` Mr. LaVelle responded that he is aware of the existing situation
with the island area and he feels that development of the site will help navigate people around
the existing island which will make more sense when the access to SA is shared with access to
the proposed strip ma1L He also stated they would add signage that would allow safe movement
around the site. There was further discussion regarding access to the site by the Cornmissioners
and the applicant.
Commissioner Roche asked about the colors of the buildings. Mr. LaVelle provided a material
board with the colors that will be used on the building.
Commissioner Rahn asked for clarification of sign requirements on the exterior of the building.
Mr. Warren responded that they are allowed one freestanding sign for the entire center which can
identify all tenants. The location also is allowed up to 15 percent of the wall area for tenant
identification for each tenant.
Mr. LaVelle stated that he looks forward to working with the City and looks for a favorable
response.
Mr. Terry Moses, current owner of the property, introduced himself and reminded the Planning
Commission about an issue regarding the placement of a sign for SA that was poorly placed and
has been knocked over by their trucks.
No other persons from the public appeared before the Commission during the public hearing on
Application No. 2006-001.
CLOSE PUBLTC HEARING
There was a motion by Commissioner Boeck seconded by Commissioner Rahn, to close the
public hearing on Application No. 2006-001, at 8:14 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.
The Chair called for further discussion or questions from the Commissioners. The
Commissioners interpased no objections to approval of the Application.

A. VL Application
The format and content of these guidelines are
specifically tailored for use as a reference. They
are organized into two separate documents that
are intended to be used by two different
audiences, the Systems Guide/ines and the
Standards forPrivate Development.
The first document, Systems Guidelines, provides
design guidance for all elements of the public
infrastructure. It outlines issues and provides
design standards that apply to the entire
Opportunity Site redevelopment area. It is
intended as an attachment to the Master Plan
Document itself. The Systems Guidelines
describe the following:
Items of the overall infrastructure framework
Context
Open Space
Transportation Systems
Storm Water Systems
Utilities
Mix of Uses
Parking Strategy
The Second document, Standards for Private
Deve/opment, is intended to provide guidance to
private developers as they take responsibility for
individual components within the master plan. It
will help assure that the private development that
takes place in the Opportunity Site redevelopment
area will fulfill the City's goals and objectives for
the redevelopment. The Standards for Private
Development deal with the four individual districts
within the Master Plan and the individual buildings
within those districts.

B. III. Transportation System i
The transportation system for the project area
consists of three principal components: roadway
network, streets and public transit provisions, and
bicycle/pedestrian provisions. It is important that
all three components of the overall transportation
system function in an effective and well integrated C° s� l
manner to achieve the fundamental goals of the r�,

of these three components are presented next. V�

Alignments of Internal Roadways and
Locations of Intersections
The master plan includes a combination of both
"fixed" locations for certain roadways and
intersections and flexibility for other roadway
alignments and intersections.
Princi�al items that are fixed due to existina
constraints are:
Alignment of John Martin Drive at TH 100. The
plan does not envision replacement of the existing
John Martin Drive bridge over TH 100.
Alignment of Summit Drive between Shingle
Creek Parkway and the southeastern Earle Brown

Intersections of Shingle Creek Parkway with

Mayor Myrna Kragness
City of Brooklyn Center
3401 63rd Ave N
Brooklyn Center, MN 55429-2209
Re: Constitutional Dedication of the Motor Vehicle 5ales Tax
Dear Mayor Kragness:
In 2005, the legislature passed a proposed constitutional amendment that would
dedicate i00% ofthe existing motor vehicle sales t� (MVST) to the highway user
t� distribution fund. Previous legislation has akeady dedicated this money to
highway and transit funding under state statute, but as a result of budget shortfalls
preceding administrations have used the money to balance the budget. Placing the
motor vehicle sales tax in the highway user fund through a constitutional amendment
would ensure dedication of the funds.
The current proposed amendment, which is enclosed, would take at least 40 percent
of the revenue generated by the existing motor vehicle sales tax and dedicate it to
transit statewide, and would dedicate no more than 60 percent of the funds towards
highways statewide. The conversion of money from the general fund, where it had
previously been rerouted, will take place over five years being fully phased in by
2011.
TherP a.re threP issues that have ana�e the Cc�nstitutinnal dedication.controversial.
First, the ainendment langua.ge does not guarantee a fixed amount for roads. Second,
there is concern that the public will consider the problem to be "fixed" if they vote far
the amendment, when we know that the MVST amendment will only provide about
25% of the furiding necessaxy to maintain our current level of congestion. And
finally, the dedication of MVST to transportation financing will create a hole in the
general fund. Critics consider these issues to be fatal flaws and are campaigning
against the amendment as it is written.
None of these issues, either singularly or in combination is sufficient reason to oppose
the amendment. While critics argue that roads will be left out, each biennium

proceeds from MVST must be legislatively appropriated for roads and transit.
Highway funding has a very strong constituency in the legislature and road
construction will get its fair share. While it's alsa true that MVST will only provide a
portion af the necessary transportation funding, ($300 million in additional funds
compared to a$1 billion need), it represents an important first step toward additional
funding. .And finally, while dedicating MVST to transportation may leave a shortfall
i.n �.he g�nP*al fiand, MVST is a tra.nsp�rtation related t� that shot�id be dedicate� to
transportation uses.
The AMNI has taken a position, through its transportation policy committee and
board of directors, of supporting the proposed constitutional amendment as it is
currently drafted. It is acknowledged by transpartation advocates and municipalities
alike that the current draft of the proposed amendment could have been done
differently, however drastic changes to the language at this late stage undermine the
ultimate passage of the amendment.
The AMM is aware of atteznpts to change the current language of the amendment
and/or defeat the current amendment as it is proposed. The AMM is encouraging
individual cities to pass resolutions supporting the passage of the constitutional
amendment. Funding for highways and transit is increasingly more difficult to secure
and a dedicated more stable source of funding must be sought.
Enclosed is a sample resolution that can be used as a starting point for individual city
resolutions. We are encouraging cities to pass the resolutions, return an adopted copy
and the resolutions will be used in AMM's legislative campaign to show legislators
that cities support the passage of the MVST amendment. If there are any questions or

Subject: Improving communication efforts with the Community
To: Michael McCauley, city manager
For: Upcoming Work Session
On City website, I believe we should provide these elements:
A list of City Ordinances that are either under Council consideration, and/or expected to be on an upeoming
Agenda soon.
Agenda for next regular meeting in text form at the root of the Council site (no drilling down for people, use of
commonly understood terminology that is complete as to the action proposed)
I'm concerned that people are not hearing about proposed law changes, and that subsequently the Council is at a
decision-making disadvantage vs. having appropriate community-informed input. With Ordinance changes,
especially those that will impact an entire community (e.g., proposed parking law change for R1 areas), there
should be No Surprises, or, if some people say they were uninformed, that it can be shown that a good faith effort
was made to get the word out to our residents (vs. just legal compliance).
With the maturing of mass communication technology, there should be scant reason why important Council
actions under consideration can't garner increasingly more attention in the community.
At the NLC I picked up some good ideas from communities working to expand community conversation (two-way
dialogue) and feel strongly that Brooklyn Center should build on its efforts to get people involved in our
Opportunity Site planning, and find more/better ways to reach our population with government messages that may
affect their daily lives.

Re: Individual City Council Member Requests
Generally speaking, individual City Council Member requests fall into these broad
categories:
Citizen complaint or Council Member inquiry regarding a specific code
enforcement issue
Request for information that is:
o A copy of previously provided information
o Readily available infarmation
o Not readily available
Requires assembly and/or analysis
Work Session Agenda Item that is
o Self-explanatory
o Requires staff time, including any or all of the following
Assembly of materials
Analysis
Recommendations
Displacement of other work or priorities.
As staff has tried to respond ta various individual City Council Member requests, the
amount of time involved in responding has ebbed and flowed. Issues arise in the absence
of an articulated City Council direction as to scope, timing, and impact on City Council
goals and existing projects. If the City Council wishes to pursue a matter proposed by an
individual City Council member that will impact staff time and other priorities, it would
be helpful to have a more formal process to better respond to City Council direction.
I am suggesting that the City Council consider creating a process for handling individual
City Council requests that would give more formal direction in a number of ways. The
first would be to have the City Council determine the threshold question of whether the
Council wishes to look into or pursue a matter. Secorid, the City Council would
determine the scope, timing, and prioritization of reviewing a matter. For example, some
items Iend themselves to a discussion in connection with setting goals for the coming
year, as opposed to an ad noc addition during a year. Other items may be suitable for
development of informatian and analysis during a year, but iieed to be scheduled to avoid

i conflicts with established priorities and projects. An example would be developing
information or analysis for consideration in setting a future year's priorities or budget.
Such mformation would be needed before the pnorities or budget are determmed. But if
the development of informatian or analysis impacted Engineering/Public Works, it would
I best be accomplished be timing the analysis to avoid impacting design work and timing
for street and other construction projects.
I Attached are flow charts that would outline a proposed method for handling individual
City Council Member requests for Work Session Agendas and for information requiring
assembly and/or analysis to facilitate having the City Council:
I 1. Determine if
a. The City Council wishes to discuss or pursue a matter
b. The City Council wants a report or materials prepared
2. And if so, provide direction by:
a. Determining the scope of the matter
b. Prioritization of the matter
c. Timing of
i. Staff reports
ii. Its future consideration at a subsequent Work Session
I would also propose that the City Council set a time to discuss goals/projects for 2007. I
would suggest scheduling a Work Session on September 18�' for that purpose, unless the
City Council has a facilitated retreat for that purpose in August or September. Also, if
there are items that the City Council would like to consider for 2007 that have
budgetary/staffing implications that the City Council identify those items as a group at
the June 12�' Joint Work Session with the Financial Commission. This will allow us to
prepare reports on fiscal im�acts and options in connection with the budget work sessions
on August 21 St October 16 or November 2p
In a recent newspaper article, the City of Coon Rapids City Council determined that it did
not wish to explore changing the City's name. That resolution came about because the
council determined that the majority was not interested in even discussing the concept.
The matter ended without using further city council time or before any staff resources
were expended.

It was noted and reported to Tim Gaffron 2-15 that replay of Brooklyn Center's (BC) Council Meeting of 2-13-06
was un-watchable due to constant interruption of signal. Tim is investigating and may contact City Hall, and will
provide a videotape to me that hopefully is a clean copy of the meeting. It should be noted that this is the second
major issue with the broadcasting of BC's Council meetings in about the span of a month.
Agenda item: Council vote on:
replacing obsolete bill boarding equipment (for the scrolling) with current replacement technology,
dedication of funds received to purposes for which this tax is being collected: communication.
Following the discussion about cab{e communication equipment at our last meeting, please provide the following
so it is available to councilmembers for the discussion of the above item. NOTE: If any of the following items are
the responsibility of NWCT staff and not BC city staff, I would ask either Tim or Greg to have those items
provided.
1. BC's Inventory of Audio and Video Equipment that is used in conjunction with recording, videotaping and
cable-casting of city business, council meetings and other meetings taped for public purposes. The inventory list
should include the year of manufacture as the date of installation could be significantly different.
2. The Fund Budget schedule that covers maintenance of the items on this Inventory list and who prepares.
3. The Review Plan Schedule and person(s) responsible for replacemenUupdating of the items on this Inventory
list and the person(s) responsible for creating, deciding and maintaining this Schedule. Please include their most
recent memo/report which should be the supporting documentation for item 2 above.
4. The amount of money BC received from NWCT for 2006 (amount expected if not received to-date), 2005, and
2004. Please provide any supporting documentation that accompanied the remittance to the City of these
taxpayer funds.

Councilmember Niesen,
I spent about an hour at Brooklyn Center City Hall this morning trying to observe the on-air signal problem that
you described to me. It did not occur while I was watching the channel. However, I did discover that your
live/billboarding signal is presently not going out over the air, so something is definitely wrong with the cable
signals. Since it was working on Monday night, something in the cable system has failed since then. Whatever it
is that has failed may have been intermittently failing at the time you were trying to watch the meeting and may
have caused the signal disturbances that you experienced. Hopefully, now that it has failed completely, it will be
easier for Comcast technicians to track down. I contacted them at about 10:OOam this morning and they are
looking into the problem(s).
I will let you know when I have more information to report regarding this problem.

Re: Cable
The short answer to the operation and maintenance of the audio visual equipment is that
I
we rely on Tim Gaffron to advise regarding equipment and to operate the systems. We
spent around $69,000 on equipment when the Council Chambers were remodeled.
Funding for those costs were from the Cable grant. In 2004, $21,703 was received and
split between the General Fund and the Capital Projects Fund. In 2005, $24,031.19 was
received and all funds placed in the Capital Projects Fund. We do not budget for the
maintenance of the audio visual equipment.
As an aside, Jim Glasoe has been tasked with creating an inventory of major building
components to develop a replacement schedule for roofs etc. That project also includes
developing an overview of equipment (not related to Information Technology). Tim
Gaffron will be asked to provide a schedule of anticipated needs for the Council
Chambers audio visual equipment. We have been exploring since last year the feasibility
of digital cameras and a system that would put Council meetings on the web site with a
an index of agenda items that would allow a person to click on an agenda item and go
directly to that portion of the meeting with video and audio.
Attached are copies of the Ietters from Northwest Community Television regarding the
last quarter payment from 2005 and the grant to cover costs of Northwest Community

systems are separate systems.
Enclosed are the agenda materials from the October lO City Council meeting where
consulting services were authorized for the storm water system and the design on the 59

I asked Mr. Blomstrom to make arrangements to develop a comprehensive plan for
dealing with the storm sewer system, especially future maintenance issues related to
storm water management ponds. Under federal/state law, the City has responsibilities for
ponds, both private and public. We need to develop a plan for dealing with these ponds in
connection with the budgeting process for the Storm Water Utility. Mr. Blomstrom
solicited proposals for performing this work, along with the other updating services
described in his memorandum. This is essential work to develop an update to the Local
Water Management Plan, plans for the 59� Avenue Trunk Storm �ewer Improvements,
and a plan to deal with maintenance of the ponds and infrastructure. The lack of a
comprehensive plan/vision for handling the maintenance of these ponds is an area that I
have wanted addressed for some time. Without a comprehensive plan, we are faced with
the situation of being unable to adequately plan for that maintenance and its funding.

MEMOR
DATE: October 5, 2005
TO: Michael McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Todd Blomstrom, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Resolution Awarding a Professional Services Contract for Storm Water Management
Planning Services
The 2005 Budget for the Storm Sewer Utility includes funding for consulting services to conduct
storm water management planning services. The purpose of this planning effort is to update the
City's local Storm Water Management Plan and determine future capital and maintenance costs for
the drainage system. A general summary of the requested services is provided below.
Part 1— Update Local Water Management Plan
The Shingle Creek and West Mississippi Watershed Management Commissions (SC/WMWMC)
recently completed a revised Second Generation Watershed Management Plan. Member cities are
now required to update their Local Water Management Plar�s to be in compliance with the
SC/WNIWMC Second Generation Plan. City staff recommends that the scope of this work be
limited to completing the necessary modifications to the Local Water Management Plan as required
by State Statutes and the SC/WMWMC. Extensive technical analysis of the City's drainage system
is not recommended as part of the required update.
Part 2— Storm Water Infrastructure Maintenance Planning
The City of Brooklyn Center currently has approxunately 75 public and private storm water
management ponds located within the City and Mn/DOT drainage systems. Consulting services are
needed to formulate a long term management strategy and capital improvement plan for
maintenance of existing storm water ponds serving City property and right-of-way for local
roadways. This capital improvement planning effort would provide data to assist in establishing
future stonn water utility rates to fund ma}or rehabilitation and maintenance work for public storm
water ponds.

Part 3— 59 Avenue Trunk Storm Sewer Improvements
A fully developed residential area (approx. 300 acres) within the southeastern portion of Brooklyn
Center currently drains through a 30-inch diameter storm sewer crossing under Interstate 94 near
S9�' Avenue. This trunk storm sewer does not provide adequate conveyance capacity for the
upstream drainage area. Local flooding has occurred along portions of the trunk main. Consulting
services are needed to assist with preparing a feasibility study to replace/construct approxunately
2,000 feet of this trunk storm. sewer, including the portion crossing under Interstate 94. The
construction cost estimate from the feasibility report would be used to update the City's Capital
Improvement Program budget.
City staff solicited proposals from qualified engineering firrns to provide assistance with local
storm water management planning tasks as described above. The following three engineering firms
provided proposals for the work: TKDA Engineers, Bonestroo Associates, and Short Elliot
Hendrickson. The proposals were evaluated by engineering division staff and ranked on the basis
of price, qualifications and proposed scope of work.
Engineering staff recommends that the work be awarded to Bonestroo Associates based on an
evaluation of the information provided in the proposals. Bonestroo Associates prepared the first
generation Local Storm Water Management Plan for the City of Brooklyn Center in 1997. Their
proposal included a highly detailed scope of services and a diverse project team having experience
with completing similar projects. The proposal from Bonestroo Associates also included
preliminary design assistance from a company that specializes in the construction of large diameter
pipelines under interstate highways in order to address engineering challenges associated with Part
3 of the project.
The total professional services fee for the project is $75,541. The project is expected to be
completed by August 2006. The 2005 budget includes $58,000 for the portion of work expected to
be completed in 2005. The remaining cost for consulting fees would need to be fiznded from the
2006 budget for the Storm Sewer Utility.
Attached for City Council consideration is a resolution awarding a contract with Bonestroo
Associates for professional engineering services in the amount of $75,541.

Member Kathleen Carmody introduced the following resolution and moved its
adoption:

For: Communication, general and Work Session Agenda item request for last meeting in February
I saw an article about Crystal Airport (CA) in the Post after the results of the Met Council's contracted survey were
published, and comments taken at a meeting. There were quotes attributed to several Crystal city employees
about the future of CA. You were contacted and also provided a quote. I was glad to read your comment about
"waiting" to see Crystal's lead but I was wondering about the source of your comment.
In my opinion, it is fine for the media to get/receive quotes on public interest issues from city employees, and
eVected or appointed officials. However, I'm not sure the public would make a distinction between an opinian from
a city employee and an elected official. The public might read opinions from Crystal city employees and believe
they reflect the opinions and conversation of city employees and elected officials. Certainly in Brooklyn
Center's case we have not discussed and voted on a CA opinion.
Could you please provide some background into your approach when contacted by the media for comment on
issues that the Council has not discussed and voted on? Are there other reeent examples (last 3 months) of
subjects you have been asked to comment on from any media that the Council has not had an opportunity to
discuss with you/the public?
I believe our policy and process for providing either opinions or conjecture on items of interest to the media that
have not been discussed, debated, or decided by the public's representatives would be a worthwhile discussion
and I would like to discuss this late February.
Thank you.
