PLANNING COMNIISSION AGENDA CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER JLJLY 26, 2007 STUDY SESSION 1. Call to Order: 7:00 p.m. 2. Roll Call 3. Approval of Minutes June 28, 2007 4. Chairperson's Explanation The Planning Commission is 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. 5. Brad Schumacher 2007-013 Site and Building Plaln approval for a six stall garage at the apartment located at 5240 Drew Avenue North. 6. Discussion Item: a. Brooklyn Center Alternative School Zoning Issues 7. Adj ournment Application Filed on 7-12-07 City Council Action Should Be Taken By 9-10-07 (60 Days) Plannin Commission Information Sheet g Application No. 2007-013 Applicant: Brad Schumacher Location: 5240 Drew Avenue North Request: Site and Building Plan Approval The applicant, Brad Schumacher, is seeking site and building plan approval to construct a six stall garage for the apartment building he owns at 5240 Drew Avenue North. The property in question is .65 acres in area and is zoned R-5 (Multiple Family Residence). It is located at the southeast corner of Drew and 53 Avenue North and is surrounded on the north by 53 Avenue with single family homes on the opposite side of the street; on the east by R-5 zoned property containing the Twin Lakes Manor Apartment Complex; on the south by R-1 zoned property containing a single family home; and on the west by Drew Avenue with R-1 zoned property containing legal, but non-conforming, duplexes on the opposite side of the street. The applicant plans to construct the new garage to the south of the apartment building with three units facing east and three units facing west. A new driveway on Drew Avenue will be constructed to access the three west facing garage stalls, while the three east facing garage stalls will be accessed from the existing parking lot. The footprint of the garage is 30 ft. by 44 ft. or 1,320 sq. ft. Two existing parking spaces will be eliminated and the parking lot will be expanded to the south to access the three east facing garage stalls. Section 35-230 of the City's Zoning Ordinance regarding plan approval requires site and building plan approval before commencing the construction or major alteration of structures except for one and two family dwellings and buildings accessory thereto. This application is in response to that requirement. ACCESS/PARKING The existing access to the site from 53 Avenue would remain unchanged. As mentioned, a new driveway would be constructed on Drew Avenue to access the westerly three garage units. A permit from the city's Engineering Department is required for the driveway. The allowable width for a driveway is 24 ft. at the property line and is the standard in this case. The plan shows a wider width and should be modified to comply with the 24 ft. wide requirement. The existing parking lot lies to the east of the apartment building and can currently accommodate approximately 18 parking spaces given the ordinance minimum parking space width of 8 ft. 8 in. The parking lot will be expanded to the south approximately 12 ft. in order to access the three garage units on the east side of the newly proposed garage building. This will require that approximately two surface parking spaces be removed. Sixteen surface parking spaces and six garage spaces exceed the parking requirement for this ten unit apartment building which is two 'i spaces per dwelling unit. 7-26-07 Page 1 GRADINGlDRAINAGE The Public Works Director/City Engineer has reviewed the proposed plan and has no concerns at this time and will not be providing any written comments. Grading and elevation of the garaga are a concern in that the existing and proposed grades are such that the westerly three garage stalls will be at a higher elevation (857 ft.) than the easterly three garage stalls (853 ft.). The grade break will be in the center of the garage creating two 30 ft. by 22 ft., three stall garages with different roof lines. An existing shed will have to be removed or relocated as will a 6 ft. high fenced area serving as a trash enclosure. The trash enclosure will have to be reestablished somewhere on the site that does not encroach on building setbacks or buffer requirements. The plan should be modified to show the location of the new trash enclosure. LANDSCAPE/SCREENIlVG The applicant's plan shows existing trees on the site and he has provided an analysis of the landscaping based on the landscape point system used by the Planning Commission to evaluate landscape plans. The inventory shows a total of 62 points from five shade trees (two Elms, three Maples) a Spruce tree, an apple tree and various shrubs. He proposes to add five coniferous trees at an unknown location. This .65 acre site is required to have 59 landscape points. We certainly would encourage additional landscaping, however, the existing landscaping exceeds the minimum requirements of the point system. A 15 ft. buffer and setback is required along the south property line where this property abuts R-1 property. A 4 ft. high opaque screening device is required within the 15 ft. area. The plan shows an existing fence of 5 ft. to 6 ft. in height that runs the width of the lot meeting the screening requirements of the ordinance. A portion of the applicant's parking lot encroaches into the neighboring apartment complex to the east. The applicant has indicated on the plans that this encroachment will be removed. It should be noted that there is an existing shed that appears to be the neighbor's and it encroaches on the applicant's property. This is a civil matter that should be resolved by the parties. The applicant has also provided building elevations showing the proposed six stall garage. RECOMMENDATION The application for the most part appears to be in order and approval is recommended subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The building plans are subject to review by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits. 7-26-07 Page 2 2. Grading and drainage plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of permits. 3. The plans shall be modified in the following manner: a. The maximum driveway width for the new driveway onto Drew Avenue to be no more than 24 ft. wide at the property line. b. To show the location of the relocated trash enclosure to be provided with an opaque screening device at least 6 ft. high to include a solid screen gate. 4. The applicant shall obtain a driveway permit from the Engineering Department for the proposed access onto Drew Avenue North. 7-26-07 Page 3 t t �-:�i ,�W�*�� 1*� �JL����� V���.-�, x �.'1 t�z(. r." �,�.4d'_� ,T J �-i F f r r;:l a���,�� --�r�-, 1� ���i������ f N,�= l i �s i j 1 �l�� .h'' v�-•�����_,: ;�'�_J• v _1 .��_r:�,�'� ��11�1� 1 l t I r u �r s� a� �p �y�!

Thanks G� T Brad Schumacher i MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission Members FROM: Ronald A. Warren, Planning Commission retary SUBJECT: Brooklyn Center Alternative School Zoning Issues DATE: July 23, 2007 On the Planning Commission's July 26, 2007 agenda is a discussion item regarding Brooklyn Center Alternative School Zoning Issues. This matter has been referred to the Planning Commission by the City Council for review,comment and recommendation. The City Council following receipt of a written request by Keith Lester, Superintendent of Schools for the Brooklyn Center School District No. 286,to consider allowing alternative learning centers in the industrial park zoning district referred the matter to the Commission. Currently elementary and secondary education uses are not allowed in commercial or industrial districts. The School District would like to locate such a facility at the Palmer Lake Plaza building located at 6850, 6860 and 6870 Shingle Creek Parkway. The City Council reviewed the request and discussed it at two work sessions of the Council, one on June 25, 2007 and the other on July 9, 2007. Attached for the Commission's review are copies of the information submitted for the Council work session from the City Manager including the letter from Superintendent Lester, a July 2,2007 memo from the City Manager and minutes from the June 25, 2007 Council work session and the July 9, 2007 Council work session. All these matters are offered for the Commission's review. I will be prepared to review this matter in more detail with the Planning Commission at Thursday evening's meeting. In all likelihood, a representative of the Brooklyn Center School District will be in attendance as well. Again, the Commission is being requested to review, comment and make any necessary recommendations with respect to possible ordinance amendments that might be relative to this request. r AGENDA CITY COUNCIL/ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY WORK SESSION July 9, 2007 Immediately Following Regular City Council and EDA Meetings Which Start at 7:00 P.M.

The apparent options to consider at this time are as follows: BACKGROUND The City Council began reviewing this matter at the June 25h work session.The background information provided for that meeting and a copy of the draft minutes are enclosed. The Council consensus from the work, session was to postpone further discussion the matter until a full City Council was present at the next Work Session. COUNCIL POLICY ISSUES Is there need for further review/modifications of the Zoning Ordinance at this time? If so,what process for changing the ordinance does the Council wish to follow? 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Recreation and Community Center Phone TDD Number Brooklyn Center, MN 55430-2199 (7 3)569-3400 City Hall& TDD Alumber(763)569-3300 FAX(763)569-3434 FAX(763)569.3494 wu,u,,.citvolbrook-tvpi.cenier.t)rg MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL/ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA WORK SESSION JULY 9, 2007 CITY HALL—COUNCIL CHAMBERS CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council/Economic Development Authority(EDA) met in Work Session called to order by Mayor/President Tim Willson at 8:29 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor/President Tim Willson and Councilmembers/Commissioners Kay Lasman, Mary O'Connor, Dan Ryan, and Mark Yelich. Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey, City Attorney Charlie LeFevere, and Deputy City Clerk Camille Worley. BROOKLYN CENTER ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL REZONING ISSUES The proposed use was discussed as it relates to the zoning requirements of the property and the current Ordinance. It was indicated that an Alternative Learning Center would be beneficial to the City; however the matter of whether it is appropriate in the area should be determined. The matter of a variance to allow the use was discussed where Mr. Boganey indicated that a Use Variance is not allowed in the State of Minnesota. The following opinions were expressed: • Sustain the Ordinance however send the item to the Planning Commission for further study to determine if the circumstances of the Ordinance as it relates to the use have changed. • Uncomfortable deviating from the current zoning Ordinance at the risk of setting precedence. Use is not appropriate in the industrial area. Encourage the School District to seek other solutions through the Department of Education. • The matter needs thorough investigation for both positive and negative aspects. Refer the item-to the Planning Commission to review if circumstances have changed. Most comfortable if all aspects are reviewed to insure the right decision by the City Council. • Planning Commission time should not be spent on the matter. The School District should resolve the issue on its own and it does not have the money to spend on an Alternative Learning Center. Amy Pelke Y� Brooklyn Center Alternative Learning Center representative, explained that the Alternative Learning Center would be for students in grades 9-12, up to age 21. She discussed options explored by the School District as it relates to extended programs. She discussed the programs that would be available to 0students at the Alternative Learning Center. 07/09/07 -1- DRAFT Greg Thielsen, 5306 Morgan Ave N, School Board Member, stated the School District is working towards making a separation of those students who are comfortable in a regular school setting and those that are *unable to learn in the typical school setting. He discussed the needs that an Alternative Learning Center would accommodate. There was discussion on whether the Ordinance could be written to allow an Alternative Learning Center with exclusion of K-12 uses. Mr. Warren discussed the reasoning for the current Ordinance along with other factors to be considered. It was the majority consensus of the City Council to forward the matter to the Planning Commission for review, comment, and recommendations. ADMINISTRATIVE FINES CHARTER AMENDMENT Mr. Boganey discussed the benefits of administrative fees and the purpose for the proposed Charter amendment. There was discussion on whether administrative fines should be initiated and the process of Charter Commission approval. It was the majority consensus of the City Council to forward the matter to the Charter Commission for consideration. .Concern was expressed that the initiation of administrative fines might encourage the City to find violators to collect fines. There was discussion where it was indicated that administrative fines may be less expensive for residents as opposed to going through the court process for violations. ADJOURNMENT Councilmember/Commissioner Lasman moved and Councilmember/Commissioner Yelich seconded adjournment of the City Council/Economic Development Authority Work Session at 9:32 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 07/09/07 -2- DRAFT AGENDA CITY COUNCIL/ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY WORK SESSION June 25, 2007 Immediately Following Regular City Council and EDA Meetings Which Start at 7:00 P.M.

GACity Manager\WORKSESSION.MEMYRM.doc • BROOKLYN CENTER INDEPENDENT - RC SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 286 Brooklyn Center Schools 6500 Humboldt Avenue North Phone:(763)561-2120 Brooklyn Center,MN 55430-1897 Fax:(763)560-2647 District 286 "AN EQUAL OPPORTUNM EWLOYER" Expect The Best! June 1,2007 Mr.Curt Bogany and Brooklyn Center City Council City of Brooklyn Cerrter 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center,MN 55430 I Dear Mr.Curt Bogarly and Brooklyn Curter City Council: Due to the following reasons,Brooklyn Center Schools wishes to move its Alternative Learning Ce rrter(ALC)from the Brooklyn Center High School(BCHS)building to a site o$'-catnpm ➢ The location of the current program is in a space that cannot legally hold more than 50 occupants.We could easily serve 80 to 100 or more students if we had a larger space. (17his would serve more shldents educationally and generate more revenue financially.Both are needed in our district) ➢ The location is upstairs in the high school building with no handicap accessibility. ➢ The location is in the high school building. Success£ul ALC Programs should not and,for the most part,are not locked in the saute space the students are choosing to leave. • ➢ Alternative Education is a constant growth option in public education. We need to be a part of that growth. For the past year we have sought alternative sites with little success.We have carried on convections with Ron Warren and Brad Hoffman regarding city ordinances about"schooV'being in certain areas of the city.These conversations have ended with suggestions that included: ➢ Have someone build a space that is located in an area zoned for schools. o We can't afford to commit long.-term to new constriction. I'm not sure there is a great deal of property if we could ➢ Check on possible open space in areas such as along Brooklyn Blvd. o ALCs must be located in the home district We must have the program within the District 286 boundaries. ➢ Check into the large number of churches that are for sale or available for lease. o In May,2007 we made inquiries and have found no churches with space to lease.Those that were suggested were investigated ➢ Errollrrlerlt options are offered to develop competition between districts. We need to be able to compete with our neigllbars. We have finally found an ideal space for the Brooklyn Center ALC at Palmer Lake Plaza where Brown College and the Northwest Suburban Integrated School District is located. However,Brooklyn Cer>ter zoning ordinance restricts `public and private elementary and secondary schools"on this type of property. I have several questions and concerns about this ordinance: ➢ How does the ordinance define a public and private elementary and secondary school defined? An ALC, by definition,is neither of these. ➢ What is the purpose of restricting a public school from expanding it's offerings m behalf of the young people of our district who live in the city? ➢ If it is a necessary ordinance,and I mast there was good reason for it 10 years ago. Is it not pos�ble to more clearly define the restriction so a state approved alternative school functioning on behalf of a public school district located entirely within the boundaries of Brooklyn Center could occupy a space such as wE are requesting? An ALC is not a traditional public elementary or secondary school.The following features distinguish it from `Yegulat"public or private schools: ➢ By definition,an ALC is not a primary designated school. ➢ 'Alternative schools are for students ages 16-21 who have not been successful in a traditional setting.When you consider the age range of the students in an ALC you can see most would be considered adults. Adults don't usually attend a traditional public school. ➢ Students must apply,show they meet criteria set by the state and then be accepted into an ALC. Traditional K-12 schools must accept students without such consideration ➢ There are specific criteria for entrance into an ALC. See attached. Minnesota StatLrte, 124D.68. Again,a traditional K-12 school does not require such entrance requirements. ➢ The schedule is different than a traditional school. Students may attend a full day or part of a day. Some work may be done as independent study;most will be done in the classroom Other thoughts and concerns about this issue: ➢ Brooklyn Center ISD#286 serves a large population of high needs students. Marry of them need the specialized programming,hours and approaches offered by an ALC. If they don't attend at our ALC,they go elsewhere,taking their funding with them More important,they are forced to travel further to get will we should be able to offer here.We can keep our funds in our district ➢ There has been a suggestion that,because we have so many open-enrolled students,they should go elsewhere for their education. Aft all,"they're not our students."Since I arrived in Brooklyn Carter I have heard this argument and I find it very disappointing.Young people haNe a right to an education wherever it will best suit their needs. It the state didn't think so,they would not haw passed a law allowing open enrollment Furthermore,without open enroUn-r-M this school district would not be able to sustain the level of programming and activities that we do. I am certain this could not have been a factor in developing an ordinance of this kind ➢ I've been told there has been concern about traffic problems with school buses. As currently planned,there will never be more than two buses dropping off or picking up students at any one time. Most likely it will be one bus. Some sluderts will likely drive. Others will take the city bus. ➢ All districts surrounding Brooklyn Center have an ALC and marry are located in sunilar buildings. We have researched other Alternative Schools throughout the state(a list is provided).When we investigated where the ALCs in our area are located we found many of them were in warehouse or commercially zoned areas. For example,Osseo,Columbia Heights,Anoka(Coon Rapids Bloomington,St Louis Park,and Eden Prairie are located in cmTm-=ciaVmdustrW areas. Reasons to consider allowing a variance for Brooklyn Center Schools to move to a commercially zoned area such as Palmer Lake Plaza: ➢ Minnesota Statute,124D.68 states: "The legislature finds that it is critical to provide options for children to • succeed in schools. Therefore,the purpose of this section is to provide incentives for and mcoueage all Minnesota students who have experienced or are experiencing difficuhy in the traditional education system to enroll in alternative programs." ➢ An ALC is not a traditional or regular K 12 school.It is an option for those kids who need one. ➢ The school will be staffed with licensed teachers,a principal or lead teacher,behavioral support and clerical MplDft ➢ If we develop the new program the way we have planned,there will not be more than 60-70 students in class at anyone time.There will never be"hundreds"of students descending on the site all at once. ➢ The space is attached to both Brown College and Northwest Suburban Integrated School District.The type of student we serve in an ALC would benefit from cooperation with both of these programs. Collaboration of this type is invaluable for both the post secondary school and the Alternative Learning Center.(Many of our students will be the same age as many,if not most,of the Brown College students.) ➢ And we are Brooklyn Center Schools,located in Brooklyn Center,MN. Why not take pride in what we have and encourage the continued development and improvement of our schools? If you take a close look at our schools,there have been misconceptions about our students and our educational program in the past We are not a ghetto school. Our elementary is an authorized International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program World School,one of only five in the upper Midwest Our high school is hoping to become a candidate school for the Middle Years Program in IB.During a recent conversation with Scott Bechtold, Brooklyn Center Police Chief,he indicated they do not receive an unreasonable number of calls to our schools. Our high school discipline referrals and suspensions have dropped considerably in the past year and more students are taking higher level courses than they have in many years.We are being approached by other agencies and programs seeking our cooperation in the process of educational innovation.People are stepping up and taking notice of our schools acrd what we are accomplishing for such a poor and diverse • population with so little in resources.Our ALC will be another successful educational program growing to serve and educate our Brooklyn Center families. I am hopeful the Brooklyn Center City Council will give serious consideration to clarifying the ordinance and allow us to locate our ALC in a warehouse area We are"between a rock and a hard place."
