The final plat subdivided the parcel located at 5445 Xerxes Avenue North containing the old Toys R Us building into three contiguous lots.

The sealcoating and liquid sealer projects are now complete, and between them total just under $75,000. Maintenance staff has identified a need to reconstruct the Lions Park parking lot to eliminate drainage issues. Normally such an improvement would be included in the adjacent neighborhood street project, which in this case would be in 2004. However, the drainage issues have resulted in continued maintenance problems, and early reconstruction of the lot would relieve what is a growing maintenance burden. We estimate it would cost about $10,000 to reconstruct the lot. We have received a quote for concrete work and are in the process of obtaining a quote for the bituminous work; City staff would perform the removals, grading, and site preparation. Approximately $15,000 remains available from the appropriation for sealcoating. In past years, Council has authorized the use of unexpended sealcoating funds for similar activities, such as the repaving of the West Palmer Lake Park parking lot and repaving the City Garage parking lot. We request Council consideration of a resolution amending the 2001 budget to authorize the use of unexpended sealcoating funds to fund the repaving of the Lions Park parking lot, at an estimated cost of $10,000. ® adoption: Member introduced the following resolution and moved its RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 2001 GENERAL FUND BUDGET TO PROVIDE FOR THE REPAVING OF THE PARKING LOT AT LIONS PARK WHEREAS, the 2001 General Fund budget for Street Maintenance activities includes $90,000 for sealcoating; and - WHEREAS, the 2001 sealcoating projects have been completed at a total cost of just under $75,000, leaving about $15,000 unspent; and WHEREAS, Park Maintenance staff have identified a need to repave the parking lot at Lions Park to improve drainage and correct an ongoing erosion problem, at an estimated cost of $10,000; and WHEREAS, this improvement is similar to other projects previously approved for construction with unexpended sealcoating funds. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota that the 2001 General Fund budget is hereby amended to authorize the repaving of the Lions Park parking lot at an estimated cost of $10,000, using unexpended funds budgeted for sealcoating.

McCauley, City Manager FROM: Diane Spector, Director of Public Works �y SUBJECT: An Ordinance Prohibiting the Feeding of Deer The proposed ordinance prohibiting the feeding of deer is presented this evening for second reading and continued public hearing. At the public hearing on August 13, 2001, a resident suggested that the language as proposed was not specific enough, and that taken broadly it could prohibit residents from doing things such as composting, mulching their gardens, feeding birds or wildlife other than deer, etc. I have reviewed the proposed ordinance with the City Attorney, and we suggest that the following exception be added as subsection 4. 4. Planting of seeds or plants for the purpose of establishing or maintaining a lawn or garden, covering gardens or plants with straw for the purpose of providing protection during winter months or when establishing new lawns, or using straw bales for erosion control. This would address the concern that the ordinance might be construed as prohibiting gardening or planting plants that deer find tasty, such as hostas, or mulching a garden or establishing a lawn. Another concern that was expressed was whether the ordinance might prohibit composting. From a practical standpoint, from spring to fall deer would probably not feed on dead or decaying materials in a compost pile or bin when there are tasty hostas nearby, and if a compost bin or pile does become an attractive nuisance, it is easy enough to cover it, which is what a CSO might direct a homeowner to do should it come to that. CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held on the 13th day of August, 2001, at 7 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard at the City Hall, 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway, to consider an ordinance prohibiting the intentional feeding of deer.

In updating the City's Fee Schedule, I reviewed Chapter 1 to verify fees for impounding and boarding of animals and discovered language referencing dog license requirements. With the elimination of dog licensing, the City Code needs to be amended to remove the reference to dog licensing requirements in these sections. These sections were inadvertently missed when reviewing elimination of dog licensing earlier this year. Attached is an Ordinance Amending Chapter 1 of the City Ordinances Deleting Language Referencing Dog Licensing. The amendment cleans up the City Code to remove the outdated language.

McCauley, City Manager �r From: Ronald A. Warren, Planning and Zoning Specialist Subject: City Council Consideration Item - Planning Commission Application No. 2001- 019 Date: September 19, 2001 On the September 24, 2001 City Council Agenda is Planning Commission Application No. 2001- 019 submitted by Sandness Construction requesting Site and Building Plan approval for an approximate 7,000 sq. ft. addition to the Spiritual Life Church, 6865 Shingle Creek Parkway. Attached for your review are copies of the Planning Commission Information Sheet for Planning Commission Application No. 2001 -019 and also an area map showing the location of the property under consideration, various site and building plans for the proposed development, the Planning Commission minutes relating to the Commission's consideration of this matter and other supporting documents. This matter was considered by the Planning Commission at their September 13, 2001 meeting and was recommended for approval. It is recommended that the City Council, following consideration of this matter, approve the application subject to the conditions recommended by the Planning Commission. Application Filed on 8 -16 -01 City Council Action Should Be Taken By 10 -15 -01 (60 Days) Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 2001 -019 Applicant: Sandness Construction Location: Spiritual Life Church Request: Site and Building Plan Approval The applicant David Sandness of Sandness Construction is seeking site and building plan approval for an approximate 7,000 sq. ft. addition to the Spiritual Life Church, 6865 Shingle Creek Parkway. The property in question is zoned C -1 (Service /Office) and is bounded on the north by Shingle Creek Parkway with I -1 zoned property containing the Palmer Lake Plaza office /industrial building on the opposite side of the street; on the east by Xerxes Avenue and a two story office building with I -1 zoned property containing an office /industrial building on the opposite side of Xerxes Avenue; and on the south and west by Freeway Boulevard with R -3 zoned property containing the Earle Brown Farm Estates townhomes on the opposite side of that street. Places for religious assemblies such as chapels, churches, temple, mosques and synagogues, are permitted uses in the C -1 zoning district. Spiritual Life Church was granted site and building plan approval by the City Council for a 900 seat church on June 9, 1997, under Planning Commission Application No. 97006. They are now seeking site and building plan approval for an approximate 7,000 sq. ft. addition including a fellowship hall and meeting room. The fellowship hall addition will be located at the northwest corner of the existing building, is 5,088 sq. ft. and is labeled on the site plan as Addition A. The meeting room will be located on the south side of the building, is 1,692 sq. ft. and is labeled Addition B on the site plan. A 24 ft. by 26 ft. garage is also shown to be located in the south parking lot. The applicant is not proposing to make any site changes other than the building expansion. The church was planned with a possible expansion in mind and this expansion will not affect existing improvements. The City is still holding a financial guarantee to assure the completion of site improvements associated with the 1997 application. We may be close to recommending elimination of this guarantee upon verification of the completeness of the site improvements. ACC E 1 ; , q/PARK1NC'T Access to the site is unchanged and is gained from Xerxes Avenue and two access points from Freeway Boulevard. The parking requirement for the church is based on seating capacity. Nine hundred seats were indicated on the original plan which required 300 parking spaces. Three 9 -13 -01 Page 1 hundred and four arkin spaces were constructed. Five parking spaces will be eliminated with p g p p g P the construction of the garage leaving a balance of 299 parking spaces on the site. The seating capacity of the church is now 600 seats. The additions to the church do not require additional parking. We believe the parking space provided will be sufficient'to meet the church's needs even with a seating capacity expansion over the present number. If need be, an additional one or two parking spaces could be provided on the site. CTR ADTNCT/T)R ATNACTR/i TTTT,TTTF',; No site revisions are proposed with respect to grading, drainage or utilities for this expansion. It should be noted that the church had received Shingle Creek Watershed Commission approval in 1997 for a water retention plan that included two ponds, one on the north side of the site, the other on the south side. The church has recently been advised that the north pond was not constructed to the proper depth and that the outlet was not constructed according to the plan. A correction notice has been sent to the church and these matters are to be addressed by September 18, per that notice. T,ANDgC'APTNCT The applicant's landscape plan that has been submitted with this application is a verification of the landscape plan proposed in 1997. They note that the landscape point system required 392 points which they have slightly exceeded with their plantings which include 17 Fallgold Ash, 21 Plum Leaved Crabapple, 14 White Spruce, 7 Colorado Spruce, 15 Techney Arborvitae, 48 Hillieri, 49 Purpleleaf Sand Cherry and 22 Red Barked Dogwood. Final verification of the landscaping and pond modifications could allow the financial guarantee currently being held to assure completion of the 1997 site improvements to be released. We do not believe it is necessary to include a condition for a performance guarantee with the proposed expansion. BT TTT DTNC'T The building exterior for the proposed additions will be a rock faced concrete masonry unit colored to match the existing building. Prefinished metal fascia will also be provided to match the existing. The floor plan shows a fellowship hall addition, which will be L shaped. A portion of the expansion in this area is labeled preschool. The preschool is considered a permitted accessory use with the church. Elementary and secondary schools (K -12) are not an allowable use in the C -1 zoning district. The preschool use should be acknowledged as a condition of this approval provided it is properly licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services and that a copy of the license is kept on file with the City. 9 -13 -01 Page 2 UGHTTN("T The lighting plan shows the location of lighting standards that were installed. These light poles coincide with the original lighting plan submitted and no modifications are planned. RECOMMRNT)ATTnN The plans appear to be in order and approval is recommended subject to the following conditions: 1. The building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits. 2. Any altered grading, drainage or utility plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of permits. 3. The building additions are to be equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing . g system to meet NFPA standards and shall be connected to a central monitoring device in accordance with Chapter 5 of the City Ordinances. 4. The applicant shall provide appropriate erosion and sediment control devices on the site during construction as approved by the City Engineering Department. 5.

The motion passed unanimously. Commissioners Erdmann and Newman abstained from voting as they were absent from the meeting. 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. 2001 -019 — SANDNESS CONSTRUCTION Chair Willson, introduced Application No. 2001 -019, a request for site and building plan approval for an approximate 7,000 sq. ft. addition to the Spiritual Life Church, 6865 Shingle Creek Parkway. Mr. Warren presented the staff report using overhead transparencies to describe the location of the property. (Refer to Planning Commission Information Sheet dated 9 -13 -01 for Application No. 2001 -019 attached.) The property is zoned C -1 (Service /Office). Places for religious assemblies such as chapels, churches, temple, mosques and synagogues are permitted uses in the C -1 zoning district. Spiritual Life Church was granted site and building plan approval by the City Council for a 900 seat church on June 9, 1997, under Application No. 97006 and they are now seeking site and building plan approval for an approximate 7,000 sq. ft. addition including a fellowship hall and meeting room. The applicant is not proposing to make any site changes other than the building • expansion. 9 -13 -01 Page 1 Mr. Warren explained that in 1997 the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission had approved a water retention plan, which included two ponds. The church has recently been advised that the north pond is not constructed to proper depth. He added that the City Engineer has met with the applicant to rectify the situation and is satisfied with the progress being made. Chair Willson raised a question about the outstanding performance bond and asked why it was not released after the new building was constructed. Mr. Warren responded that he generally does not release a performance bond until requested to do so by an applicant and added that the original contractor (Zeman Construction) did not contact the City to release the bond. Chair Willson called for questions or comments from the Commissioners. A representative of the Spiritual Life Church explained that they had no previous knowledge of the ponding problem. They have met with the original contactor and the City Engineer to rectify the situation and will do so as soon as possible. He added the church does not currently have a preschool on the site. Mr. Warren responded that he was aware of that and stated that they would need to be licensed with the State if they do decide to operate a preschool. Commissioner Boeck asked about the former grading plans and why they did not appear on the current plans. Mr. Warren responded that retention pond plans are part of the original site and grading plans and were filed at that time. He added that the applicant has agreed to make the necessary corrections and the City is confident the work will be done. The Church representative ® added that it is the intent of the Church to make all corrections according to the City Engineer's recommendations. Mr. Warren further explained that the ponding corrections would have been done whether or not the church was constructing an addition. He further explained the process for releasing performance bonds and added the City does not generally "foreclose" on performance bonds. They are returned to the applicant when all work has been complete and a request is received from the applicant. The Chair called for further discussion or questions from the Commissioners. The Commissioners interposed no objections to approval of the Application.
