BROOKLYN BOULEVARD AND THE INTERIM USE OF 6107 BROOKLYN
BOULEVARD FOR THE STORAGE AND DISPLAY OF NEW AND USED
CAR INVENTORY. THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED
9/28/98 -4-
APPROVAL OF THIS APPLICATION AT ITS SEPTEMBER 10, 1998,
MEETING.
Planning and Zoning Specialist Ron Warren discussed Dave Phillips, Phillips Architects, is
requesting rezoning and site and building plan approval through the Planned Unit Development
(PUD) for an expansion of the Brookdale Chrysler Plymouth dealership at 6121 Brooklyn Boulevard
and the interim use of 6107 Brooklyn Boulevard for the storage and display of new and used car
inventory. The expansion would consist of an 8,500 square foot building addition for automobile
service and repair and an 1,100 square foot car wash, while an approximate 100 by 180 foot parking
lot would be built on the adjacent lot to the south (6107 Brooklyn Boulevard).
This matter was considered by the Planning Commission at its August 13, 1998, and September 10,
1998, meetings and was recommended for approval by the Commission through the adoption of
Planning Commission Resolution No. 98 -4.
Mayor Kragness raised a question about the noise that may be created if a P.A. System is used and
if another system could be installed. Mr. Warren responded that he did not see a problem so far with
the noise.
Councilmember Carmody asked if the access on the side that abuts Brooklyn Boulevard has been
cleared with the County. Mr. Warren responded that the plan does not reflect that access. The City
does need to get approval from the County and he does not foresee any problems getting that
approval. Mr. Phillips addressed that having one access is a benefit to the County.
Councilmember Hilstrom asked what rights the City would have if problems arise with the interim
use and PUD. Mr. Warren responded that City Ordinances would be in effect and that with a
development agreement any violations will be zoning violations.
Terry Tacheny, 3606 61st Avenue North, addressed the Council regarding the 35 foot buffer zones
and how he believes they are an improvement from when first proposed.

8C. PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 98019 SUBMITTED BY
CENTRES GROUP BROOKLYN CENTER, LTD. REQUEST FOR AN
AMENDMENT TO THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD)
APPROVED FOR THE REGAL THEATER DEVELOPMENT UNDER
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 98015 TO PROVIDE AN
ALTERNATIVE STORM WATER DETENTION PLAN. THE PLANNING
COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS APPLICATION AT
ITS SEPTEMBER 10, 1998, MEETING.
Ms. Chambers explained this item will be introduced by Mr. Warren and Ms. Spector. City Attorney
Charlie LeFevere will then discuss the corrected ordinances that need approval from the Council in
regard to the Regal Theater Development.
Mr. Warren discussed Planning Commission Application No. 98019 submitted by Centres Group
Brooklyn Center, LTD., requesting an amendment to the PUD approved by the Regal Theater
Development under Planning Commission Application No. 98015 to provide an alternative storm
water detention plan. The Planning Commission considered this application at its September 10,
1998, meeting and recommended approval by the City Council.
The applicant is seeking an amendment to the PUD for property located south of 66th Avenue North,
East of Camden Avenue North, and North and West of I -694 and T.H. 252 (except for the
SuperAmerica Property) in order to provide an alternative storm water detention plan. The property
in question is a 16.72 acre site approved for an 85,240 square foot, 4,592 seat, 20 screen theater with
two additional sites (one 71,693 square foot and the other 88,186 square foot) planned for future
commercial development. The site is bounded on the north by 66th Avenue and the SuperAmerica
property; on the east by T.H. 252; on the south by I -694; and on the west by Camden Avenue. The
PUD rezoning and site and building plan for this property was approved by the City Council under
Resolution No. 98 -133 on July 27, 1998.
The applicant is therefore proceeding with an application to amend the PUD to seek approval for the
alternate drainage plan and ponding as well as the underground facility originally proposed. The
alternative plan calls for a traditional pond to be located at the northeasterly portion of the property,
just south of the SuperAmerica property.
The City Engineer is reviewing the amended plan and may have some additional comments. The
plan identified as "Plan A" is the original underground facility, while the plan identified as "Plan B"
is the traditional pond. If "Plan B" is pursued, the final plat approved under Planning Commission
9/28/98 -8-
i�
Application No. 98016 would have to be changed to reflect the new lot lines. The lot lines would
be shifted to relocate parking such that pad site two, or the proposed Lot 3, Block 1, Regal Road
Development Addition, would be reduced to 42,000 square foot.
Councilmember Hilstrom asked if there would be any protection around the alternate drainage plan
and if it would be a wet or dry pond. Mr. Warren responded that the pond would be a wet pond and
that it will look similar to the pond near Rainbow Foods.
Councilmember Peppe asked if future parking would be a problem. Mr. Warren responded that the
plan would be able to support parking in the future.
Mayor Kragness asked when this issue will be approved by the Watershed Management
Commission. Ms. Spector responded that if this application is approved tonight they would be able
to go forward.
A motion by Councilmember Peppe, seconded by Councilmember Hilstrom to approve Planning
Commission Application No. 98019. Motion passed unanimously.
Ms. Spector indicated that the second item with this issue is the approval of the. final plat for REGAL
ROAD DEVELOPMENT ADDITION, subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall enter into a standard maintenance and utility agreement with the
City.
2. Review and approval of the City Engineer.
3. Property title opinions or legal documentation as required by the City Attorney.
4. Approval of the Final Plat by the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

have been changed to correct the language for the recording of the plat with the County, and that
City Ordinance 98 -07 had some additional changes to reflect the request from the Examiner of
Titles. He recommended the Council make one motion to approve all four corrected ordinances.
A motion by Councilmember Hilstrom, seconded by Councilmember Carmody to approve changes
to City Ordinances 98 -06, 98 -07, 98 -08, and 98 -09. Motion passed unanimously.

Glasoe regarding the brick distress at the Community Center. Councilmember Hilstrom asked why

letter the background of parking laws, and asked the Council what action they would like to take.
Councilmember Hilstrom stated that she is in favor of having these "no parking" signs re- installed,
and asked what the time line would be if the signs were to be re- installed. Ms. Spector responded
staff would have to contact Gopher State One Call 48 hours before digging and that the signs could
be installed as early as next week.
Councilmember Peppe stated that he was also in favor of re- installing these signs, and asked about
the snow plowing procedures in the winter. Ms. Spector explained the snow is plowed to the end
of the street and the signs do not effect the process.

apartment owners. He informed the Council that the apartment owners would also like to have the
