McCauley City Manager Date: July 21, 2000 Re: Response to Marlin Drive Surveys Attached are the surveys received from residents on Marlin Drive. The response rate was very low. We would suggest, in response to the residents who were concerned about parking, that we proceed to post the block no parking between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. This will make enforcement and notice readily achievable. 6301 Shingle Creek Pkwy, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 -2199 • City Hall & TDD Number (612) 569 -3300 Recreation and Community Center Phone & TDD Number (612) 569 -3400 • FAX (612) 569 -3494 An Affirmative Action /Equal Opportunities Employer MARLIN DRIVE SURVEY " JULY 2000 Some residents have said that there are vehicles parking on Marlin Drive longer than the maximum 6 hours allowed by City ordinance.

At issue is the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), which covers about $1 billion in highway work and an additional $300 million in transit- related expenses for such things as bus garages, buses and shelters, between 2000 and 2002. It includes both state and federal money; federally funded portions are required to conform to regional land -use policies, necessitating the Met Council's approval. The plan for 1494 is to add a third lane from Hwy. 212 to Hwy. 100, adjoining Eden Prairie, Bloomington and Edina. Work was to begin in 2002, Stehr said, but the Transportation Department, which will administrate the project, is experiencing cost overruns on other projects planned for about the same time, especially an upgrade of Hwy. 100 north of Glenwood Avenue. Met Council Chairman Ted Mondale said that, while he doesn't want to see the council meddling in the selection of individual projects, the council does need time to sort out what happened. Thus the delay for one week in approving the projects. Met Council Member Caren Dewar and others said they were dismayed that the Transportation Department didn't contact the coalition of cities along the freeway at once to inform it that it was recommending pulling the project from the list to be approved this week. Thorfrnnson had said he just learned of the plan last week. "This council is very clear in being interested in building better relationships with our communities," Dewar said. She and others also questioned why the department doesn't build in contingencies to cover cost overruns. Phil Riveness, a Met Council member from Bloomington, one of the most affected areas, said he's at a loss to figure out "how something as major as 494 could be X'd off." Congestion in the southwest suburbs "cries out for being addressed," he said. The Met Council, whose 16 members are appointed by the governor, oversees long -range planning for the seven- county Twin Cities area. It also runs the Metro Transit bus system and the regional sewage treatment system. of 2 7/24100 2:09 PM PUBLIC COPY CITY COUNCIL MEETING City of Brooklyn Center July 24, 2000 AGENDA 1.

She noted a typographical error in the last line of the first complete paragraph on page two of Charlie Hansen's memorandum. It should read "in 2002" rather than "12002."

Councilmember Nelson discussed City Council Agenda Item No. 9a, TH 100 Update. Mr. McCauley explained the report would be an update on the status of Segment 4 of TH 100 and include the outcome of the City Council direction at this study session. 2. DISCUSSION OF HIGHWAY 100 INFORMATION Mr. McCauley stated that Diane Spector had put together some options for the City Council to consider in providing additional information and informational opportunities to residents regarding Highway 100. He said that one option was to do a mailing to property owners adjacent to Highway 100 to update them on the status of the Highway 100 project and its history. Another option could be an open house to review information. He noted that several people who received the Mn/DOT mailing have come in to City Hall to review the Segment 4 plans which are posted on the wall outside the Engineering Division. He said another issue for Council to consider is a response to the July 4 letter the City Council received from Diane Niesen and Wayde Lerbs. Council discussed the draft response and believed it addressed all the issues raised, and it was consensus the letter be • signed by the Mayor. Mayor Kragness inquired if Council Members had been contacted by other 7/10/00 -1- DRAFT residents regarding the Highway 100 plans. Councilmember Hilstrom said she had been contacted • by Donna Zieska; Councilmember Nelson said he had a couple of inquiries, but not significant. There was discussion regarding holding an open house to review information versus holding a special meeting with formal presentations. Also discussed were the location for holding the meeting and time frame.

COUNCIL REPORT Councilmember Nelson reported that he attended a Metropolitan Council Environmental Services annual meeting on June 28, 2000. He said there was discussion regarding the rate structure. One option was to have a low rate structure next year and then higher in five to seven years to make up for the bonds. The other option would be to have a level structure next year and then in five years the rates would be lower than projected due to paying off bonds quicker.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE FINANCIAL COMMISSION REGARDING THE POLICY AND PROCEDURE ON REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS FOR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES Donn Escher, Financial Commission Chairperson, reported to the Council that the Financial Commission had previously recommended to the City Council that Requests for Proposals (RFPs) be established for financial professional services. The Council adopted a Policy and Procedure on Requests for Proposals for Financial Professional Services and a preset schedule to conduct RFPs. He said that 2000 is scheduled for RFPs for insurance agent and risk management consultant. Mr. Escher said the Finance Department will experience a heavy workload this fall due to the impending conversion to a new financial and payroll software, and preparing an RFP would increase the workload too much. The Financial Commission recommends an alternative schedule which would move the RFPs for risk management consultant and insurance agent to 2003. Councilmember Hilstrom thanked the Financial Commission for its work. 07/10/00 -4- DRAFT • RESOLUTION AMENDING THE POLICY AND PROCEDURE ON _ REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS FOR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES RESOLUTION NO. 2000-120 Councilmember Hilstrom introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION AMENDING THE POLICY AND PROCEDURE ON REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS FOR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Councilmember Lasman. Motion passed unanimously. 7b. RECOMMENDATION OF THE FINANCIAL COMMISSION REGARDING THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBER TOTAL COMPENSATION Mr. Escher explained that every two years prior to the election the Financial Commission discusses the City Council salary and makes a recommendation to the City Council. He read the Policy and Procedure on Mayor and Council Member Total Compensation. The Financial Commission met on May 4, 2000, and June 19, 2000, to review the total compensation for the Mayor and Council Members. He said a subcommittee was appointed to study the issue. He stated the Financial . Commission unanimously recommended that the Council salary be increased 3% in 2001, plus an additional $50 per month to reflect additional costs related to communications technologies and the time demands of using the technologies. He said the recommendation would result in the Mayor's compensation raising from $8,721 in 2000, to $9,583 in 2001, and $9,870 in 2002; Council Member compensation would rise from $6,541 in 2000, to $7,337 in 2001, and $7557 in 2002. A motion by Councilmember Lasman and seconded by Councilmember Nelson to accept the Financial Commission report passed unanimously. Councilmember Hilstrom inquired when this item would be back on the agenda. City Manager Michael McCauley responded that it could be brought back for Council review the second meeting in August. 8. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS: 8a. PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2000-014 SUBMITTED BY ALLEN J. FRANZ, FRANZ ENGINEERING REPRODUCTIONS, INC. REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) AMENDMENT TO CONSTRUCT A 20,670 SQ. FT. SERVICE /OFFICE COMMERCIAL COMPLEX ON A 2.28 ACRE PARCEL OF LAND AT 2781 FREEWAY BOULEVARD 07/10/00 -5- DRAFT Mr. McCauley introduced Planning Commission Application No. 2000 -014 submitted by Allen J. Franz, Franz Engineering Reproductions, Inc. requesting approval of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) amendment to construct a 20,670 sq. ft. service /office commercial complex on a 2.28 acre parcel of land at 2781 Freeway Boulevard. Planning and Zoning Specialist Ron Warren used overhead transparencies to review the location of the site which is bounded by Xerxes Avenue on the west; Freeway Boulevard on the north; Extended Stay America to the east; and the site of the Motel 6 which is under construction to the south. He explained that the PUD zoning from I -1 to PUD /I -1 of the three properties contained in the Shingle Creek 5th Addition along with the first phase site and building plan approval for the Extended Stay America was previously approved by City Council Resolution No. 98 -47. He also noted that the developments for lots 1 and 2 were subject to review and approval under the Planned Unit Development process, as an amendment, when such proposals came forward. Motel 6 Operating LP acquired lot 2 and pursued a Planned Unit Development Amendment for the development of a three story, 122 unit motel and was approved by City Council Resolution No. 99 -159. Mr. Warren explained that Franz Engineering Reproductions, Inc. was located at 52nd and Humboldt Avenues North until recently acquired as part of the Hennepin County green way project. He stated that Franz Engineering Reproductions, Inc. has acquired the property at 2781 Freeway Boulevard to house its building as well as providing space for other architectural firms /service /office development. He outlined the building design, access and parking, and landscaping. He explained the proposed screening along the westerly side which abuts the Earle Brown Townhomes to be pine trees planted in a staggered fashion. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 29, 2000, and recommended approval through adoption of Planning Commission Resolution No. 2000 -03. Mr. Warren explained this proposal is • consistent with the PUD principles and procedures, the City's Comprehensive Plan, the development criteria, and is compatible with the immediate uses surrounding the property as well as those in the general vicinity. The only exception is allowing a 15 ft. rather than 50 ft. buffer strip along the Xerxes Avenue right of way area which is justified on the basis of providing heavy landscaping and utilizing dense, staggered planting scheme of pine trees to buffer the area. He stated that the Planning Commission recommended three modifications to the proposed plan as follows: 1) provide parking delineators around the 11 parking spaces located immediately adjacent to the building on the east side; 2) the screening for the trash area should be constructed with wood or metal material; and 3) the parking area along Xerxes Avenue adjacent to the 15 ft. buffer should not be striped but could still remain bituminous, as the applicant indicates the area is needed for snow storage. Mr Warren indicated the applicants are present to answer questions from the Council. Councilmember Hilstrom inquired if the trees which will be planted along Xerxes Avenue will cause clear view triangle site problems. Mr. Warren responded that he doesn't anticipate any problems, provided the trees are pruned. Councilmember Hilstrom raised the issue of the 13 -14 ft. masonry wall to screen trucks at the loading area. Mr. Warren used an overhead transparency and displayed the building elevations drawing and reviewed the plan, explaining that the loading area slopes down so that trucks will not be visible while loading/unloading. 07/10/00 -6- DRAFT �I Councilmember Nelson requested to view the exterior lighting plan. Mr. Warren displayed the__ lighting plan and explained that the exterior lighting was all wall mounted, except for one light pole to be located in the island area to the northeast of the building. RESOLUTION REGARDING DISPOSITION OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2000 -014 SUBMITTED BY FRANZ ENGINEERING REPRODUCTIONS, INC. RESOLUTION NO. 2000-121 Councilmember Nelson introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION REGARDING DISPOSITION OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2000-014 SUBMITTED BY FRANZ ENGINEERING REPRODUCTIONS, INC. The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was seconded by Councilmember Lasman. Motion passed unanimously. 8b. PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2000-015 SUBMITTED BY EXODUS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY REQUESTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO PROVIDE A CHILD CARE OPERATION AT THE FORMER BROOK PARK BAPTIST CHURCH, 4801 63RD AVENUE • NORTH Mr. McCauley introduced Planning Commission Application No. 2000 -015 submitted by Exodus Community Development Company requesting a Special Use Permit to provide a child care operation at the former Brook Park Baptist Church, 4801 63rd Avenue North. Mr. Warren reviewed the location of the property which is zoned R -1 and is bounded on the north by 63rd Avenue and a single family home located at the corner of 63rd and Perry Avenues North; on the east and south by Orchard Lane School property; and on the west by single family homes and Perry Avenue. He explained that a partnership of Exodus Community Development Company and Christ Temple have recently acquired the Brook Park Baptist Church property and are planning to continue its use as a church. He said the applicant plans to operate the Imani Child Development Center in the lower level of the church building to provide child care for children 16 months to 11 years of age. He stated that the applicant also proposes to use the old parsonage as an extension of its program to provide child care for children that need to be separated from the main facility due to illness or other reasons. Mr. Warren said the program will be licensed by the State of Minnesota Department of Human Services in accordance with its guidelines for child care. The child care facility will run Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., 50 weeks per year. Access to the child care facility will be 63rd Avenue North. He explained that the church property has a fenced in play area adjacent to the church and the applicant will not be changing or altering the residential property which will remain a part of the church. Mr. Warren noted that in the past churches have made use of parsonages for other than residential uses, such as for youth ministries or other church related functions. He • 07/10/00 -7- DRAFT explained that the proposed use would be in keeping with past approvals. He said the Planning. _ Commission recommended approval of Planning Commission Application No. 2000 -015 at its June 29, 2000, meeting subject to five conditions which he read. He noted the applicant was not present at this evening's meeting but was present for the Planning Commission public hearing. A resident addressed the Council inquiring whether or not the children attending the child care facility will be from the community or bused from other communities and was concerned about the children staying on the child care property and supervision. Mayor Kragness said she met with representatives of the church and the child care facility, and her understanding is that it may not be strictly limited to our community but may include members from the church. She also stated that the child care play area is fenced and supervision is required under the State licensing. Councilmember Lasman noted that in the Planning Commission minutes the applicant indicates the maximum number of children at the child care facility will be 32. She also noted that there will be eight to ten employees, which would be a very positive four -to -one ratio. She inquired how many of the eight to ten employees were directly working with the children and how many were administrative. Mr. Warren responded that he is uncertain, however, the State of Minnesota imposes the regulations for the licensing and they would have to meet those guidelines. Councilmember Hilstrom inquired if there have been any difficulties with child care operations in churches. Mr. Warren was unaware of any difficulties. David Hreha, 4811 63rd Avenue North, inquired if the property had been purchased or was being leased. Mayor Kragness responded that the property had been purchased. There was a motion by Councilmember Lasman, seconded by Councilmember Nelson to approve Planning Commission Application No. 2000 -015 submitted by Exodus Community Development Company requesting a Special Use Permit to provide a child care operation at the former Brook Park Baptist Church, 4801 63rd Avenue North, subject to the following conditions: 1. The special use permit is issued for a child care operation which may utilize the adjoining parsonage property at 6226 Perry Avenue North for child care along with staff and community training and education in early childhood development. 2. The child care operation shall receive the proper licensing from the Minnesota Department of Human Services, and a copy of the license shall be kept on file with the City. 3. The church building and premises will be brought into compliance with applicable state and local regulations relating to fire safety, health, and building code standards for this operation as determined by the Building Official and Fire Chief. • 07/10/00 -8- DRAFT 4. The special use permit is subject to all other applicable codes, ordinances, and._ regulations. Any violation thereof may be grounds for revocation. Motion passed unanimously. 9. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS 9a. TH 100 UPDATE Mr. McCauley reviewed several items regarding TH 100. He said that at its July 24, 2000, meeting the City Council will receive a proposed layout for Highway 100 from the Minnesota Department of Transportation along with a request to approve the layout. He stated that full funding has been announced for Stages IV and V; Stage IV is the part in Brooklyn Center that begins at the end of Twin Lake to just past 50th Avenue; Stage V is located in Golden Valley with the construction of a bridge at Duluth Street to accommodate three lanes of traffic in each direction. He said the Robbinsdale City Council will consider layout approval on July 18, 2000; the Minnesota Department of Transportation will hold an open house on Segment 3, which is the part from Twin Lake south to 36th Avenue, on July 18, 2000, from 3 to 8 p.m. at Robbinsdale Community Center. He further stated that the City Council has directed that a meeting be established on July 19, 2000, from 6 to 8 p.m., with formal presentations at 6 and 7 p.m. on the design segments in Brooklyn Center and the proposed Azelia means of connecting north of the railroad tracks with south of the railroad tracks with the relocated France Avenue; an open house format for answering public questions would be included. He said a notice will be sent out to the persons most directly affected., but it is still a public meeting open to everyone. A suitable location is still being reviewed. This would be an opportunity prior to the July 24, 2000, Council meeting to provide information, make presentations, as well as answer questions. Councilmember Hilstrom requested clarification on the date and time of the Robbinsdale City Council meeting and the Mn/DOT open house. Mr. McCauley responded that both meetings will be held on July 18, 2000, and that the Mn/DOT open house will overlap the Robbinsdale City Council meeting. He also noted that Mn/DOT has indicated that in order to meet its funding schedule so that the money which sunsets in 2003 isn't lost, it is requiring Segment 4 design approval from Robbinsdale and Brooklyn Center by July 25, 2000. A motion by Councilmember Lasman, seconded by Councilmember Hilstrom to set July 19, 2000, 6 to 8 p.m. as a special meeting regarding Segment 4 Highway 100, with identical formal presentations at 6 and 7 p.m., passed unanimously. Councilmember Hilstrom inquired if the deadline for Segment 4 is July 25, 2000. Mr. McCauley responded affirmatively. Councilmember Nelson disagreed that there is a deadline of July 25 and made a motion to rescind the resolution of the City Council of June 12 relating to City Council agenda item no. 9c which was • 07/10/00 -9- DRAFT to report back to Mn/DOT City Council acceptance of the preliminary final design features for TH_ _ 100 Segment 4. Councilmember Hilstrom raised the issue of the deadline and requested that the City Manager report back to the City Council at its July 24 meeting whether there is a deadline and possibly get something from Mn/DOT or have a representative present from Mn/DOT to confirm the status. Mayor Kragness commented that both she and Mr. McCauley had attended the Highway 100 Council meetings for about four years, and there is urgency to receive finalization from both Robbinsdale and Brooklyn Center. This is special funding that was not available for this project before and it has a deadline that must be met. It is a criteria from the State of Minnesota that has set the deadline for the special funding. Councilmember Peppe seconded the aforementioned motion. Voting in favor: Councilmembers Nelson and Peppe; voting naye: Councilmembers Hilstrom and Lasman and Mayor Kragness. Motion fails. Mike McLennan, 3930 51 st Avenue North, addressed the Council regarding clarification of the dates for the public meetings. Mr. McCauley reviewed and clarified the meeting dates. Bob Hill, 4701 Twin Lake Avenue, addressed the Council and said he attended the February meeting and there was great attendance. However, the plan shown at that meeting was not the plan currently being shown. He said he understands the engineering difficulties with lowering France Avenue and the groundwater contamination. He expressed concern with the cost estimates of raising France Avenue, the proposed France Avenue relocation, and the safety of children and pedestrians with regard to the potential of crossing the railroad tracks. Councilmember Peppe requested the City Manager to provide more detailed cost estimates on raising France Avenue. Mr. McCauley responded that more specific cost estimates could be provided. 9b. MAYORAL APPOINTMENTS TO HOUSING COMMISSION Mayor Kragness requested ratification of her nominations of Elizabeth Davis, 6936 France Avenue North, and Shawn Taylor, 3955 69th Avenue North, to the Housing Commission.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 7 OF THE CITY ORDINANCES REGARDING REFUSE CONTAINERS Mr. McCauley introduced an ordinance amending Chapter 7 of the City Ordinances regarding refuse containers. He said this recommendation was referred from code enforcement personnel. He said technically the City Ordinance does not allow for garbage containers to exceed 30 gallons, and this Ordinance amendment would allow for the roll -cart containers used by the refuse haulers. Councilmember Hilstrom raised the issue of providing lids for recycling bins. Mr. McCauley responded that the Hennepin Recycling Group has applied for a grant which would allow for a pilot program next year to test areas in each of the HRG cities using the same type of roll -cart container with a lid for commingled recycling services. A motion by Councilmember Lasman, seconded by Councilmember Hilstrom to approve first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 7 of the City Ordinances regarding refuse containers and setting second reading and public hearing for August 14, 2000, passed unanimously. 9e.

McCauley, City Manager From: Ronald A. Warren, Planning and Zoning Specia ist Subject: City Council Consideration Item - Planning Commission Application No. 2000- 017 Date: July 19, 2000 On the July 24, 2000 City Council Agenda is Planning Commission Application No. 2000 -017 submitted by Radhika Mendoza requesting Special Use Permit to operate a beauty shop as a home occupation in an R -1 (One Family Residence) zoning district. Attached for your review are copies of the Planning Commission Information Sheet for Planning Commission Application No. 2000 -017 and also an area map showing the location of the property under consideration, 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 July 13, 2000 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 6 -30 -00 City Council Action Should Be Taken By 8 -29 -00 (60 Days) Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 2000 -017 Applicant: Radhika Mendoza. Location: 6845 Perry Avenue North Request: Special Use Permit The applicant, Radhika Mendoza, is requesting Special Use Permit approval to operate a beauty shop in her home at 6845 Perry Avenue North. The property in question is zoned R -1 (One Family Residence) and is located at the southwest corner of 69th and Perry Avenues North. It is bounded on the north by 69th Avenue; on the east by Perry Avenue; on the south by a single family home; and on the west by the Korean Presbyterian Church. Home beauty shops are classified as special home occupations in the city's zoning ordinance and require the approval of a Special Use Permit by the City Council before such operations can be undertaken. The applicant has submitted written information (attached) describing the proposed home occupation and has submitted a site sketch of the property. She indicates the proposed hours of operation would be 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday and the shop would be closed on Sunday. She also indicates that it will be a single • operation with no non - resident employees and that she has parking on the site for approximately four vehicles at one time. She is a licensed beauty operator but will be seeking a shop license from the State of Minnesota. The beauty shop would be located on the first level of the premises. The biggest concern with any proposed home occupation involving beauty or barber services is that it be done on an appointment only basis, rather than trying to attract walk -in customer traffic. This way, on street parking can be avoided and the traffic coming and going to the operation can be held to a minimum, thus, not causing an inconvenience to surrounding properties. The applicant has been advised, and agrees, to take appointments only to keep traffic to a minimum. It appears that the applicant has a large enough driveway that customers can park there without having to park their vehicles on the street. This is of particular importance since access to the driveway is from 69th Avenue, a relatively busy roadway. The applicant plans to have the beauty shop in the area located between the house and the garage. This currently is a roofed patio area which is proposed to be enclosed. A building permit to convert this area to habitable space would be required. Such a conversion will require the space to meet all building code requirements such as heating, light, ventilation and energy criteria. Also, the applicant will need to verify that there are proper footings and foundations for this space. Any recommended approval of the home occupation should note that the conversion of • 7 -13 -00 Page 1 • space for use in the home occupation shall be in conformance with building code requirements as determined by the Building Official. The Building Official will also need to review the property for various safety considerations related to the home occupation use. There, in all likelihood, will be a need for construction of plumbing work associated with the shop license and generally a fire extinguisher in the shop area is also required. The applicant may wish to indicate another location in the home for location of the beauty shop if the proposed location does not work out. All in all, this proposal is seen as being a relatively low level home occupation in terms of beauty shop operations. The hours proposed do not seem to be excessive and the level of activity should be within the range of other beauty shop home occupations approved by the City Council in the past. A public hearing has been scheduled and notices of the Planning Commission's consideration have been sent to neighboring property owners. It appears this home occupation will be low key and should not cause problems in the immediate neighborhood if it is conducted in the manner outlined by the applicant, namely that customers be seen on an appointment only basis and all parking associated with the home occupation be on the applicant's driveway. Therefore, approval of this Special Use Permit is recommended subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The Special Use Permit is granted only for a home beauty shop with a single operator. The use may not be altered or expanded in any way without first securing an amendment to the Special Use Permit. • 2. The Special Use Permit is subject to all applicable codes ordinances and regulations. P J pp g Any violation thereof may be grounds for revocation. 3. All parking associated with this home occupation shall be off street on improved space provided by the applicant. 4. The hours of operation shall be between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays. Customers shall be served on an appointment only basis. 5. The applicant shall comply with recommendations of Building Official with respect to safety related matters and obtain the necessary permits for alterations to be made to the property. 6. A current copy of the applicant's state license shall be submitted to the City prior to the issuance of the Special Use Permit related to this application. • 7 -13 -00 Page 2 i _ � Li ic►��• b lye r _rr C- ^-.L. , r • . r'l � V -po G tk Lo i July 12, 2000 City of Brooklyn Center 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, MN 55429 Attention: Mr. Ronald A. Warren Dear Sir, We would like to follow up with a letter regarding our telephone conversation on Tuesday, July 11. We discussed the petition of a homeowner at 6845 Perry Avenue who is applying for a Special Use Permit to operate a beauty salon as a home occupation in an R -1 (one Family Residence) zoning district. We have some concerns as this is a corner house, on a busy street, with a school crossing very near the enterance of that drive way. I would not want the saftey of any child in question i with additional traffic. We are not in favor of on street parking, either on Perry Avenue or 69th. We believe these concerns need to be addressed and fully understood before this permit is granted. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Don and Sharon Saba 6900 Perry Avenue North Brooklyn Center, MN 55429 763 - 560 -3233 • July 11, 2000 City of Brooklyn Center 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, MN 55429 To Whom It May Concern: We received notice that the homeowner at 6845 Perry Ave: No. has requested a special use permit to operate a beauty salon out of her home. Our concern with this is the lack of parking space available there. The home has a short single -lane driveway, and the driveway is within feet of a school crossing. Parking on the shoulder of 60 Ave. can cause a hazard for drivers trying to pull out of the church parking lot next door or those making turns from Perry Avenue, so that isn't a good option for regular parking use either. It would also be important not to block the fire hydrant at that corner. Unless a good solution can be found for this parking problem, we think this is a less than ideal location for this type of home business. Sincerely, Jay and Valarie Nordstrom 4820 — 69 Ave. No. Brooklyn Center, MN 55429 -1673 763 -560 -5588 • MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION JULY 13, 2000 CALL TO ORDER The Planning Commission meeting was called to order by Chair Willson at 7:34 p.m. ROLL CALL Chair Tim Willson, Commissioners John Whitehead, Sean Rahn, Rex Newman, and Graydon Boeck were present. Commissioners Stephen Erdmann and Dianne Reem were absent and excused. Also present were Secretary to the Planning Commission/Planning and Zoning Specialist Ronald Warren, and Planning Commission Recording Secretary Sara Beck. APPROVAL OF MINUTES — JUNE 29.2000 Commissioner Boeck stated that on page one and four the minutes should be revised to state that Mr. Warren presented the staff report giving a detailed description of the site rather than the use of transparencies. He reminded everyone that the overhead projector was not available for the last meeting. • There was a motion by Commissioner Boeck, seconded by Commissioner Newman, to approve the minutes of the June 29, 2000 meeting as amended. The motion passed unanimously. 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, 7.000 -017 — RADHIKA MENDOZA Chair Willson introduced Application No. 2000 -017, a request for a Special Use Permit to operate a beauty shop in the home at 6845 Perry Avenue North. Mr. Warren presented the staff report using overhead transparencies to describe the location of the property and the proposal. (See Planning Commission Information Sheet dated 7/13/00 for Application No. 2000 -017 attached.) He explained that the applicant has submitted written information describing the proposed home occupation and has submitted a site sketch of the 07 -13 -00 Page 1 • • property. He mentioned that the proposed hours of the operation would be 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday and the shop would be closed on Sunday. Mr. Warren went on to present the staff report in greater detail. Mr. Warren also presented the Commission with two letters that were received prior to the meeting from neighboring property owners. Jay and Valarie Nordstrom, 4820 69t' Avenue No., wrote a letter expressing concerns due to a lack of parking available on the site. They mentioned concerns whether or not parking would exist along 69' Avenue since it is a very busy road. They also mentioned that there is a fire hydrant on the corner of 69' Avenue and Perry Avenue, which probably should not be blocked. Mr. Warren presented the other letter written by Don and Sharon Saba, 6900 Perry Avenue North. He mentioned that the letter stated concerns about a beauty shop located on the corner of a busy street, which is also adjacent to a school crossing. The letter stated that they are not in favor of any on street parking either on Perry Avenue or 69th Avenue. Commissioner Newman questioned if parking is currently allowed along 69' Avenue. Mr. Warren stated that he thought parking is not allowed along 69' Avenue but was not certain. Commissioner Newman questioned if customers would be allowed to park along Perry Avenue. Mr. Warren explained that one of the conditions recommended by staff is to only allow off street parking. PUBLIC HEARING — APPLICATION 2000 -017 There was a motion by Commissioner Boeck, seconded by Commissioner Whitehead, to open the public hearing on Application No. 2000 -017, at 7:53 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. Chair Willson called for comments from the public. Jose Mendoza, the spouse of the applicant, introduced himself and offered to answer questions from the commissioners. Chair Willson questioned Mr. Mendoza's opinion if the commission were to insist the width of the driveway be expanded. Mr. Mendoza explained that they do plan to lay down additional gravel to allow for enough parking. Chair Willson questioned if gravel would be acceptable. Mr. Warren stated that gravel expansions of driveways are allowed by the ordinance in a residential zone, however, the expansion of the driveway would need to be completed prior to the opening of the business. 07 -13 -00 Page 2 • • Commissioner Boeck questioned how many clients his wife would have at anyone given time. _ . _- Mr. Mendoza stated that he didn't think there would ever be more than three clients on the site at one time. Commissioner Boeck questioned if the driveway can handle up to four cars at one time. Commissioner Newman questioned Mr. Mendoza on how he plans to handle snow removal. Mr. Mendoza stated that he plans to remove the snow promptly to avoid any on street parking. Commissioner Rahn questioned if any signs would be installed on the property. Mr. Mendoza stated that they plan to have a small sign located in the front of the property. Mr. Warren stated that a sign of 2.5 sq. ft. feet or less in size is allowed on the property. Commissioner Whitehead questioned if there are three clients on the property, then would there be adequate room for their own vehicles. Mr. Mendoza explained that they plan to park their own vehicles off to the side of the house to allow for enough room. Mr. Warren stated that there could be a condition listed in the motion that states 2 or 3 clients is the maximum number allowed on the property at any one given time in order to address parking concerns raised by the Commission. S Commissioner Boeck suggested adding to condition # 4 the phrase, "and limited to a maximum of three at any one time ". Commissioner Newman stated that there currently is no condition that mandates the patio space. Mr. Warren stated that he has spoke with the applicant and they have explained that there is no other location for the business on the property, however there would be no problem if they did choose to locate the business within the existing house. Mr. Warren suggested adding language to condition 3 to state that the driveway be expanded to accommodate customer parking. Commissioner Boeck stated that condition 3 should read, "the driveway shall be reconstructed to a width of 20' and length of 35' feet from the garage to the curb line ". No other persons from the public appeared before the Commission during the public hearing on Application No. 2000 -017. 07 -13 -00 Page 3 • • CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING There was a motion by Commissioner Boeck, seconded by Commissioner Whitehead, to close the public hearing on Application 2000 -017, at 8:06 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.

A great place to stay. To: Mayor Kragness and Council Members Hilstrom, Lasman, Nelson and Peppe From: Michael J. McCauley City Manager Date: July 21, 2000 Re: Highway 100 The Resolution before the City Council would approve the layout for Trunk Highway 100. That layout includes the design elements that have been generally present since the project started in the early 1990's. The more significant changes relate to the elevation of the Canadian Pacific Railroad bridge and the proposed re- alignment of the connection of France Avenue to Lakebreeze through the Joslyn property. The re- alignment of France Avenue arose when MnDOT determined it would have to change its design from lowering Highway 100 under the Canadian Pacific Railroad bridge to raising the Canadian Pacific Railroad bridge. Raising the Canadian Pacific Railroad bridge will also result in shifting the bridge to the north. The information we have received also indicates that the railroad will go from its current one track to three operating tracks at this location. The current grade • will be raised substantially. This change in design for the Canadian Pacific Railroad bridge means that the original design for connecting France Avenue with Lakebreeze would require modification. Those modifications would include raising the roadway on either side of the tracks (which will be 3 operating tracks {there are two spur lines south of the main line that are inactive at this time)). Responding to the re- design of the Canadian Pacific Railroad bridge and the shifting of the France Avenue bridge, a new design along the original planned route was determined to have much greater costs due to the changed elevations and re- locations. Engineering a new design along the current roadway also ended up putting 15 mile per hour s- curves through the Dale Tile site and the adjacent property resulting in significant potential costs for property acquisition because rasing the roadway to match the railroad crossing elevation would adversely impact or eliminate access for businesses north of the railroad crossing. It also has the potential to restrict the redevelopment of the Joslyn site to the point of possibly eliminating a 3rd phase. City staff and MnDOT reviewed and developed the current layout that avoids the elevated railroad crossing with 3 lines and crosses farther to the west where the current information would indicate that the Canadian Pacific Railroad would have one active track. The configuration crosses the Joslyn site. This alignment was developed in the beginning of 1999 in response to the changed MnDOT design for Canadian Pacific Railroad bridge. The recent money for construction of Highway 100 Segment IV and V has accelerated the process and focus from trying to get funding for the project to actually proceeding to design the project. Unfortunately, we have not had an adequate opportunity to meet and work with persons in the area who are concerned about the layout. At the same time, we are faced with the need to keep the funding in place for this project. • 6301 Shingle Creek Pkwy, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 -2199 • City Hall & TDD Number (612) 569 -3300 Recreation and Community Center Phone & TDD Number (612) 569 -3400 • FAX (612) 569 -3494 An Affirmative Action /Equal Opportunities Employer I would propose to the City Council that we interject an additional public meeting and review into this rocess. The specific proposal would p P p p be. - The City hire SEH to review the current layout that is being proposed and examine if there is a viable alternative that has been overlooked. This is in effect a third opinion on the course proposed. As part of this review, SEH would conduct a public meeting to review the options and issues. This public meeting would also include the environmental engineers who have been working on the Joslyn site to go over the status of the site. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency would also be invited to participate in making a presentation and answering questions. - SEH would report back to the City Council on its review of the layout and if there are any viable options or issues that have been overlooked.. The public meeting would occur at the end of August or beginning of September and the report to the Council would be made by the 1 st meetin g g in October. The meeting and review would all occur prior to actually hiring an engineering firm to design the roadway. MnDOT's process of hiring an engineering firm to design the work it will be performing will take 6 months or more and not occur until 2001. The work on the project that the City would perform under a memorandum of understanding is so that the work can occur in 2002 in advance of MnDOT's construction work in 2003 and at the same time as the Canadian Pacific Railroad bridge work. If we have overlooked a viable option or there is a problem with the proposed layout, we would have an opportunity to • discuss changing the layout with MnDOT prior to hiring an engineering firm to proceed with designing that layout. I would recommend using SEH for this review because SEH was involved in the design of the original layout for this section of roadway connecting France and Lakebreeze and the task force meetings that led up to its development. They are familiar with the process and the multiple alternatives that were explored in the mid 90's. They were not involved in the current layout. Thus, they have a familiarity with the traffic, topography, and alternatives, though they will need to review the changed design for Highway 100 itself and the impact that it has on connecting France and Lakebreeze. The steps that remain in order to keep the project going are: 1. Approval of the preliminary layout - this allows MnDOT to proceed to develop its request for engineering proposals and hire an engineering firm to do the design work for Highway 100 and avoids losing the funding by a delay at this stage 2. If approved by the City Council: - hire SEH to review layout and issues - public meeting in August or September 3. MnDOT will propose a memorandum of understanding regarding the road work for the connection of France from north of the Canadian Pacific Railroad line to Lakebreeze. - MnDOT will contract with the City for the part of the project connecting France and Lakebreeze - City will request proposals for an engineering firm to design this project - City will let the contract for the construction work - MnDOT will pay for the normal costs of the project - City would be responsible for enhancements The time line on the City work would be: 2000 - August/September: request proposals for an engineering firm - October/November: review proposals and present recommendation to City Council 2001 - Engineering firm develops plans and specifications - MnDOT reviews plans and specifications - MnDOT approves plans and specifications 2002 - contract awarded for construction of project - project constructed and completed. When MnDOT spoke with the North Metro Mayor's Highway 100 Council on June 29th, they indicated a need to'have Robbinsdale and Brooklyn Center approvals of the layout by July 25th to stay on track with the project. City staff has requested written confirmation of this date from MnDOT, but we have not received anything from MnDOT. Robbinsdale has not yet approved the layout and is still in discussion on with MnDOT on flood water storage issues. When I s oke with g P Dennis Kraft, Robbinsdale City Manager, he was hopeful that this issue could be resolved shortly and the Robbinsdale City Council was open to having a special meeting to move this along. I would surmise from that, that July 25th is not an absolute date, but from reviewing he time line to keep the i g p funding, we are at the point where we must proceed. MnDOT's design and bid letting times for this project are substantial and will not start until they have preliminary layout approval from Brooklyn Center and Robbinsdale. We are at risk of losing this project if the City does not go forward. • Approving the layout does indicate that the layout through Joslyn is the intended route. However, there is the ability to reconsider that if further analysis would warrant a change. A change would require MnDOT concurrence and could mean a greater cost to the City. City of Brooklyn Center A great place to start. A great place to stay. • To: Mayor Kragness and C cil Members 1 strom, Lasman, Nelson and Peppe From: Michael J.

A great place to stay. July 21, 2000 Ms. Diane Niesen 5107 East Twin Lake Boulevard Brooklyn Center, MN 55429 Dear Ms. Niesen, Thank you for your phone message of July 20th indicating your interest in working with the City in reviewing that portion of the Highway 100 Project that will cross the Canadian and Pacific Railroad lines by connecting France Avenue and Lake Breeze. Pursuant to your request to either call you or provide you with additional information in writing, I am enclosing a copy of the memorandum that will be presented to the City Council at its July 24th meeting. This memorandum requests that the City Council engage the services of a consulting engineering firm to conduct an additional public meeting in collaboration with environmental engineers involved in the Joselyn Site and the MPCA to take additional public input and to review the proposed layout and options. Following that public meeting, the consulting engineering firm would report back to the City Council, regarding the proposed layout and if there were viable options or issues that have been overlooked in this process. S The Council would still be asked to adopt a resolution on July 24th approving the preliminary layout. That approval and resolution would be for the current design that you have seen that crossed the Joselyn Property. As indicated in the memorandum, there would still be the opportunity to consider alternates, if the review being proposed to the City Council were to develop a recommendation to consider changes. As also indicated in the memorandum, there would be steps and obstacles to changing from the preliminary layout, but that option would be available to the City Council. If the City Council chooses to accept this recommendation for an additional public meeting and engaging the services of an engineering firm, we will advise you of where and when the meeting would be held, as well as the contact person at SEH Engineering.

McCauley, City Manager FROM: Todd Howard, City Engineer 4 SUBJECT: Resolution Establishing Improvement Project Nos. 2001 -01, 02, and 03, Garden City North Street, Storm Drainage, and Utility Improvements The 5 year CIP adopted last year adopted a schedule for street and utility improvement projects. Pursuant to that schedule, this item requests the Council to establish 2001's major neighborhood improvement project so that initial work may begin. In 2001, the City will be entering the 8th year of its long range street and utility rehabilitation program, referred to as the Neighborhood Street and Utility Improvement Program, or the Neighborhood Improvement Program. The program has consisted of a systematic rehabilitation and /or replacement of the City's infrastructure. This has included the rebuilding of streets with bituminous pavement and concrete curb and gutter, replacement of aging and deteriorating water and sewer facilities, and the construction of new storm sewer and drainage facilities. In addition, other neighborhood improvements are considered as part of the projects, including park and lighting improvements, landscape improvements, and traffic improvement considerations. Approximately 3.5 miles of streets in the Garden City North Neighborhood are proposed for reconstruction in 2000. This proposed area includes all streets located south of I -694, north of 63rd Avenue, west of Xerxes, and east of Brooklyn Boulevard. A small area west of Brooklyn Boulevard, including Halifax Drive, Grimes Avenue and France Avenue is also proposed for reconstruction, as is the intersection of 63rd and Brooklyn Boulevard (see map). Typically, in order for a project to be completed within a specified calendar year, preliminary design must commence almost one year in advance. This includes initiation of the public notification and participation process that consists of notification of all affected property owners; surveys; at least two public informational meetings; and an extensive amount of information and data collection. Initial design also includes detailed technical field survey work, underground infrastructure inspections and assessments, and soil/geotechnical investigations. Maintenance records are also collected to pinpoint problem areas. Action The action requested of the City Council at this time is therefore to establish the proposed 2001 improvement projects so that initial field work and data gathering can commence as soon as possible. Upon authorization of the City Council, the following actions would take place: • Send a letter to property owners in the proposed project area notifying them of the proposed projects and including an initial survey. • Begin field work. • Complete a request for proposals for televising sanitary sewers and gathering soil boring _ information. • Conduct an initial public informational meeting in mid to late November to present initial findings to the neighborhood and gauge public interest in the improvement projects. Special attention would be paid this year to highlighting impact on boulevard trees. • If neighborhood reaction is positive, staff would proceed to more detailed design, and would hold a second public informational meeting in January. • Again, if neighborhood reaction continues to be positive, the City Engineer would prepare a Feasibility Study for the Council to review, and the Council would consider setting a date in February for a project hearing.

Unity Place is a one hundred and twelve unit project based section eight rental development in Brooklyn Center. The application to the Hennepin County Affordable Housing Incentive Fund is for $75,000 to complete roof replacement at Unity Place. The Hennepin County Affordable Housing Incentive Fund has recently been created by the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners to help preserve affordable housing in Hennepin County. The application does not require any financial contribution from the City. A copy of the request from JL Pope Associates on behalf of the Community Housing Development Corporation is included with this memorandum. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. • FROM : JLPOPE ASSOC FAX NO. 651- 489 -8569 Jul. 19 2000 08:46AM P2 Pop L Associates MEMORANDUM To: Tom Bubblitz, City of Brooklyn Center From: Janet Pope Re: Unity Place Date: July 19, 2000 C: Dick Brustad, CHDC; Deb Beckman, Steve Mayer, BDC On behalf of Community Housing Development Corporation, T am writing to request "municipal support' ' for a request to the Hennepin County HRA for $75,000 to complete replacement of the roofs at Unity Place, formerly The Ponds. i Unity Place is a 112 unit two and three bedroom development located at 7256 Unity Avenue North. The Section 8 contract on the 1. . property runs was just renewed last year; it now runs through 2014, making Unity Place a key resource during this time of an extremely tight • rental market. Two bedroom rents are $639 and three bedroom rents are $683; residents pay heat and electricity. The development was purchased by CHDC in 1993 with $5,330,000 in revenue bonds from the City of Brooklyn Center. With careful management, since the purchase, new siding has been installed and y half of the roofs have been replaced. However, the additional $75,000 is needed for the other half of the roofs. The development is using replacement reserves to do substantial work on unit interiors over the next several years, including replacement of carpets and appliances and hard w . .. �'p pP icing unit smoke detectors. One other note is that there an active resident cooperative at Unity .. ,; Place. The Board of Directors is working closely with BDC Management f ' ' to schedule improvements to preserve the financial health of the project.
