ROLL CALL Mayor ayo TodJ Paulson, Councilmembers Celia Scott Dave Rosene Barb Kalligh and Kristen Mann. Also resent were City Ma na g er Gerald linter Hennepin Coun S P tY $ P � P Ap Sup ervisor 5 Bob H n . m C it y A ssessor Mark PP P a .co �" ty .. Parish, and Council Secretary Barbara Collman. PURPOSE OF BOARD OF EQUALIZ,ATIOP The City Manager explained the purpose of the City Council was to act as the Board of Equalization q �zaaon and act as an appeal hoard to the Assessors setting of values and classifications, The assessment is not based on taxes, but on the market value of the properties as compared with similar properties. Once the local board acts, the assessment is forwarded on to the County. The City Manager stated the assessments affect taxes payable in 1995. He explained the properties are treated equally and fairly. He noted the Board of Equalization cannot at this time review assessments from other years. He then called on City Assessor Mark Parish. PROCEDURAL REVIEW OF PROPERTY TAXATION City Assessor Mark Parish introduced Hennepin aunty Appraisal Supervisor Bob Hanscom. He stated Karen Moe and Kay Manning, staff members, were also in attendance; however, Appraiser Joc DaBruzzi was unable to attend, The City Assessor then reviewed the procedures used to assess property and to notify taxpayers. He mentioned state statute was followed i n this area, He explained the assessments are based on a property's market value, or the most probable selling price. 4/18/94 - 118 /9 1 S CITY ASSESSOR'S REPORT The City Assessor explained the Board of Equalization is established by State law and City Charter. Notices were published in accordance with law. In addition to the published notice, each property owner received a 1994 value notice indicating the 1994 market value. This notice was mailed March and early April. He described the tax system and how different classes of property have different tax rates as prescribed by law. The Assessor is responsible for placing market value on property. The Board of Equalization meeting is to review the assessment, values, and property classifications. The Board has the power to decrease, affirm, or increase a market value or ro change a classification. The City Assessor explained 2,004 to 3,000 homes (mainly in the Northwest area) were reinspected during this assessment period, some following public inquiries. The Assessor also dealt with special projects and legislative changes. In 1994, the Eastern half of the community will be reviewed, The City Assessor noted residential values were virtually unchanged from the preceding year. He further stated office assessments were basically unchanged, apartments were increased approximately four percent overall industrial was increased slightly, and retail was decreased significantly. The value of the commercial portion of the tax base declined approximately five percent overall, The City Assessor explained in a recent retail property case in Hennepin County a judge issued an order stating assessors do not have authorization to exchange information between jurisdictions, He explained his basis for disagreeing with the ruling, but there may be some confidential information about sales he will not be able to share. He counseled the Board it there are questions he cannot answer within the, 20 days the Board is allowed to meet, those questions should be referred to the County Board of Equalization. The City Assessor asked the Board for questions. Councilmember Scott asked whether the plan for 1994 reinspections might be too ambitious to accomplish. The City Assessor agreed it is ambitious. He commented new software for portable computers was expected to help the situation, but it may not be available He stated lie is very confident the reassessment will be completed south through I - 694 to 59th Avenue or 60th Avenue, and perhaps south of 57th Avenue. Mayor Paulson called on those who were in attendance. 4'1 8/ 94 -2- � PUBLIC INQUIRY REGARDING LOCAL ASSESSMENTS Ga.Q Brummer - River Glen Apartments Gary Brummcr, Owner of River Glen Apartments, 407 70th Avenue North, appeared before the Board. He called attention to his written review then recapped some of the figures. He noted a figure of $24,000 should be added to $668,000 on caretakers, who are paid in free rent. Mr. Drummer stated if the value of his property is raised, taxes will increase $12,000 to $14,000. Based on his figures, he is unsure where the extra money will come from. He mentioned his salary is five percent (approximately $33,000), which works out to approximately $8 per hour, Councilmember Rosene asked the City Assessor to clarify the assessment on River Glen Apartments, The City Assessor stated he had reviewed the property with Mr. Brummer, as well as noting the income and expense data. He mentioned Mx. Brummer had pointed out three physical problems (deteriorating plywood siding, sagging decks on second level, and parking lot asphalt) which would require resolution in the coming year, He did take those maintenance items into consideration. He pointed out property of this age will, of course, require maintenance. He compared the property to similarly aged and situated properties. After reviewing all information, he believes the original assessment of $21,500 per unit is fair and recommended it be affirmed, Councilmember Rosene asked the City Assessor whether he could explain what his thought processes were in making this assessment. He said he wondered whether the City Assessor was aware the assessment was an increase at the time he made it. The City sessor answered his practice is to value the roe not to compare t3' p property, rty� ear -to- P Y fi gures. in year He added apartments, m general, were creased this year due to the fact the market has now stabilized and begun to improve. He further explained when Mr. Brummer purchased River Glen Apartments the property was in poor condition. Now, the property is in better physical condition, occupancy has improved and, therefore, it has a higher value. Mr. Brummer commented property is only worth what it is going to support. He stated his expenses are over the income and it is not worth that much. He handed out documents concerning the value on another property which is for sale in Brooklyn Center. There was discussion concerning the rent amounts on River Glen's apartments and garages. Councilmember Scott questioned the possibility of raising rents a marginal amount to increase cash flow and allow improvements. W. Brummer answered he would like to raise rents but doesn't believe that approach would work. 4/18194 -3- Councilmember Kalligher asked whether the rents are comparable to other apartment complexes. Mr. Brummer said they are. He added the rents at River Glen may be a little higher, but electricity is included in the rent. Councilmember Kalligher asked when the last rent increase was made. Mr. Brummer stated he raised monthly rents $1U approximately one year ago. Councilmember Kalligher asked whether the apartments rent on a month -to -month basis or by lease. Mr. Brummer said he attempts to get year leases, but when year leases expire, most tenants continue on a month -to -month basis. Councilmember Kalligher asked about current occupancy. Mr. Brummer stated it is good, with only five or six empty units compared to cight or nine at the first of the year. Councilmember Scott questioned comparables. The City Assessor mentioned the report lists comparable sale prices, but stated he did not do a full appraisal for the Board. Councilmember Scott stated in looking at the comparables, it appears this complex is being appraised equally to the others, Councilmember Rosene agreed the assessment for River Glen seems comparable to the other apartment complexes. He also expressed concern about causing financial difficulty but at the same rime he said he does not feel the Assessor is out of line. Mr. Brummer said he is only going by the income and expense amounts. He stated he does not see where the extra $13,OW or $14,U49 will come from. Councilmember Rosene asked the City Assessor whether that figure is accurate. The City Assessor answered the legislature is still in session, but it probably won't be much different and is probably reasonable. Councilmember Kalligher asked whether Mr. Brummer is planning to raise the rents, as that might help, Mr. Brummer said he thinks doing that would give him a vacancy problem. Councilmember Kalligher suggested boosting the garage rental price by $5 per month. Councilmember Rosene commented even if the Board affirms the assessment, Mr. Brummer will have time to prepare and strengthen his case and make an appeal. Councilmember Scott suggested checking on garage prices as River Glen's seem to be a bargain. She said if Mr. Brummer were to raise garage prices $5 he would have $6,700 toward the tax increase. Mr. Brummer stated garages are rented easily in the winter but not in the summer. 4/18/94 -4- Mayor Paulson thanked Mr. Brummer for appearing and asked the Board to act. There was a motion by Councilmember Mann and seconded by Councilmember Scott to affirm the Glen River Apartments assessment, 'The motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Rosene stated he wished Mr. Brummer well in the appeal process and added he did not feel he had enough information to overturn the City Assessor'5 recommendation, Councilmember Scott complimented Mr. Brummer on the work that has been accomplished at River Glen Apartments. Mayor Paulson asked whether any other applicants were present. Robert Levine - Ryan Lako PartneU Robert Levine, 3401 47th Avenue North, appeared before the Board. He described the facility he has managed since 1985. He thanked the City Assessor for his diligence in considering figures over the years, Mr. Levine stated he feels the value of the property from January 1993 to January 1994 did not increase and, in fact, decreased in value. He provided the Board with operating experience figures and reviewed them. He told how he had used the procedure assessors use to value property and found it actually dropped. He stated a value of $392,000 would be reasonable, He stated he was trying to show the value based on the performance of the property, Councilmember Kalligher asked about the differences in rental amounts. Mr. Levine replied there are three different types of apartments and also leases. He tries to raise rents whenever a lease expires, Councilmember Kalligher asked whether that practice will continue. Mr. Levine stated he hopes so, depending on whethcr the occupancy rate stabilizes. He stated quality tenants are difficult to attract. Councilmember Kalligher asked whether all ten garages are currently rented. Mr. Levine said they are. Councilmember Kalligher asked whether Mr. Uvine will increase the rent on garages. Mr. Levine answered he is not surc, as the garages are not in "great" condition and he thinks $35 is too high. Councilmember Scott inquired whether Mr. Levine belongs to any apartment managers' groups. Mr. Levine stated members of his staff attend the meetings and he, has attended them as well. He was unsure if much activity is taking place within those groups. 0 4/18194 - 5 . Councilmember Scott stated a great deal has been going on in the past year. She asked the City Manager to address the issue. The City Manager explained the property managers' groups have been involved in promotion and various activities. There was a motion by Councilmember Mann and seconded by Councilmember Kalligher to reduce the assessment for 1994 from the original amount of $482,004 to $456,500. Councilmember Rosene commented this d put M vine' value below o mmente figure wool p r. Le vine's Gary Brummer's River Glen Apartments. He commented the condition of Mr. Levine's property doesn't seem any worse. Mr. Levine said he has spent a lot of money on improvements. However, he stated based on last year's operating experience, he cannot see any indication of the value increasing. He stated he had requested a reduction, even to $440,000, because the figures show a reduction in income, but stated he feels that, at a minimum, the assessment should not go up. He added he would have accepted the assessment if it had just remained the same, but cannot when it is being raised, which is an opposite result of the operating experience. Councilmember Rosene asked Mr. Levine if he could understand the City Assessor's earlier e. xA lanadon that the overall market is lookin g better, There was a discussion between Mr. Levine and Councilmember Rosene concerning "cap rates," returns, and values on investment proper?aes in the market. Mr. Levine repeated he did not feel an increase was justified. Councilmember Scott stated the Council has worked hard to keep to a zero budget. She commented homeowners have had to pay more in taxes even though they did not make improvements and, in addition, they may be on a fixed income, and they cannot raise rents to cover the difference. She added she really didn't want to, but the State decides where to raise taxes. Mr. Levine asked if Councilmember Scott had been referring to tax rate or to tax evaluation. Councilmember Scott stated she was talking about how much they have to pay in taxes. Mr. Levine stated there are two different issues. He stated at this point we are talking about fair market value, not tax rates, Councilmember Scott explained the Board is stating it seems as though Mr. Levine is being valued lower than ,comparable properties. She stated Mr. Levine is actually in a good situation as hi$ occupancy rate is better than others. She suggested Mr. Levine should become active in the apartment managers' groups as they do share information on quality tenants, thereby lowering maintenance costs caused by problem tenants. 4/I$/94 6 -. Mr. Levine said his organization does screen applicants carefully. He also stated one of his staff does go to the property managers' group meetings. Councilmember Rosene asked the City Assessor whether Mr. Levine's information is accurate and whether the increase was due to a stronger market or to other considerations. The City Assessor stated it was due to the stronger market and he typically does not compare year -to -year figures. He stated comparable sales are another equal method of determining value - not just the income actually derived. He said he does not disagree with Mr. Levine's statements. He stated he does not say the net income has taken a dramatic change, but he uses all information available to make an assessment. Councilmember Rosene questioned what the ramifications would be to raising the value and, thereby, the taxes. He stated he is uncomfortable encouraging landlords to increase: rents as the tenants are the people least able to pay more. He wondered whether the low value is bringing in tougher clients. The City Manager said it is the County's job to see the City assessments are in line. Councilmember Rosene pointed out there is $16,CW difference between leaving the assessment the same and raising it and ether figure is within bounds of typical Brooklyn Center values. The City Manager stated the Board's responsibility is to value fairly and comparably. He repeated Staff is recommending the assessment at $456,500. There was a substitute motion by Councilmember Rosene and seconded by Councilmember Kalligher to approve the assessment as recommended by the City Assessor. The motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Rosene told Mr. Levine he can now appeal and wished him success. Mr. Levine commented on the tax rates. He stated renters are paying more than three times more in taxes than homeowners and this is not fair. He added if you compare tax rates on income properties state by state, Minnesota is the highest by far. Mayor Paulson called for more appointments or walk -ins. There were none. Anderson Da Wall There was a motion by Cvumcihneluber Scott and seconded by Councilmember "ligher to affirm the Assessor's recommendation of $78,000 for Anderson Dry Wall. 4/18/94 -7 - Councilmember Rosene stated he was not prepared to vote and asked to know the cause of the reduction. He asked what the property was assessed at last year. The City Assessor answered $94,540. Councilmember Rosene asked for an explanation of the reduction, The City Assessor explained this commercial property is for owner- occupied use. He stated it has reduced potential use because of size and zoning so the value was reduced accordingly, He pointed out when using a mass appraisal system, sometimes a closer look at a property changes an opinion. Councilmember Scott added sometimes vacant property on both sides can be added on. In this case, that is not possible as it is developed on both sides. The motion passed unanimously. LETTERS A H. Partnership The City Manager presented a letter from S.A.H. Partnership. He asked the City Assessor to explain the rationale behind a reduction. The City Assessor explained two appeals were received, one from S.A.H. Partnership and one from Chi Chi's, the tenant. He stated after reviewing this 1993 lease, he found the market activity supports a reduction to $850,000. He, added both the partnership and. the tenant have accept F reed to t the reduction. There was a motion b Councilmember Kalli her and seconded b Councilmember Scott to Y g Y approve the assessment of $850,000 for S.A.H. Partnership.

The City Manager recommended before holding the public hearing, the Council should adjourn and convene the EDA meeting to take action on EDA Resolution No. 9a1. He continued the Counc>7 may then reconvene and take action on this Council Resolution. The City Manager called upon Community Development Specialist Tom Bublitz to introduce the project. The Community Development Specialist explained the hearing is to discuss and modify the project area and Brookwood project. He said the proposal is to expand the existing project areas to include the entire City except for the extreme northeast corner. He added the Planning Commission had reviewed the modification project plan and affirmed it was consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Community Development Specialist announced representatives from Publicorp, Kristin Hansen and Mark, Ruff, were present at this meeting. Councilmember Kalligher asked why the northeast corner of the City is excluded from the district. The Community .Development Specialist answered the northeast corner of Brooklyn Center is the least likely area to require a project with this funding. Councilmember Mann commented there are, indeed, areas in the northeast corner which will need redevelopment because of storm drainage. She also stated it would be beneficial to attempt to have the entire City in the district. The City Manager stated the projects in the northeast corner would come under funding for storm water redevelopment, which is not the same funding, Councilmember Mann inquired if this includes land acquisition.

The Public Works Coordinator stated more applications have recently been submitted. She said all areas are still not represcnted, but therC. area ap for the maj PP � tY of seats to be filled. She suggested two options to the Council: to defer making appointments to the task force and direct staff to readvertise; or to begin the process since some applicants are presont at the meeting. She also stated a resolution establishing the task force has been prepared and staff recommends waiting to act on it. The City Manager added the staff had presumed Brooklyn Park City Council would appoint its own delegates. Councilmember Scott said she felt the Council should forward the Brooklyn Park applications to its Council rather than pre -empt its right to appoint its citizens. The City Engineer stated Brooklyn Park Councilmember Doug Pearson has been approved. She also stated Ti Willson, cha of the Planning Commission, has been appruvr-d by the Planning Commission. She requested the Council consider appointing City Engineer Mark Maloney to the task force. 4/25/94 -10- The City Manager reviewed the resolution for establishing the task force which the Council has not had much time to review. He indicated there are more applicants expected and distributed a draft of the resolution. Councilmember Rosene stated he liked the idea of finalizing the resolution in two weeks but feels it is important people who have applied to made aware of their status. He said he would like to hear the opinions of the Council, Councilmember Kalligher inquired about an upcoming work session. The City Manager said there is one. He also stated more people took out applications than returned them but this is not unusual. Councilmember Kalligher stated a couple of people had told her they had applications but did not have time to return them. She said she would like to hold the item over to a later date. Councilmember Rosene said he would like to be the representative from the Council but bccumu of the thue commitment involved suggested someone else volunteer. Councilmember Mann volunteered to be a member of the task force, Mayor Paulson also volunteered to serve on th e task force. Councilmember Mann stated she would defer to Mayor Paulson. Mayor Paulson commented the Council should send a representative to the task force meetings, He stated if he could not attend a me eting, another councilmember could go ill his place. The Public Works Coordinator reminded the Council a chairperson is needed for the task force. Mayor Paulson said he thought the membership should be settled, then a chairperson selected from the membership, He sug waiting for more a p p lications. P � g Pp Councilmember Scott asked Councilmember Kalligher whether the people who had contacted her would be representatives of the Humboldt area, the greater neighborhuud, or both. Councilmember Kalligher replied they were for both openings. The City Manager said originally the chair was not to be a member of the task force. The chair was supposed to make the membership an odd number. Mayor Paulson stated he would appoint people who have applied and ask Brooklyn Park City Council to affirm their applicants. He mentioned Frank Slawson is an applicant. He 4/25/94 - 11 - said he would leave the City Council spot open because he could not appoint himself. He added he would accept Mark Maloney, The Public Works Coordinator clarified the residents who are being appointed at this time are Michael Schwartz, Larry Cuskey, and Terry Precht, Councilmember Rosene suggested appointing Mr. Slawson as the business community representative or as the chair, Mayor Paulson suggested waiting for all applications. Councilmember Rosene expressed thanks to Mr. Slawson. He stated Mr. Slawson would be objective and is as knowledgeable on this issue as any citizen ever is on an issue. Mayor Paulson stated he would appoint the membership as stated. Councilmember Rosene asked Mayor Paulson how he was appointing Mr. Slawson. Mayor Paulson replied as a business community representative. Councilmember Kalligher stated Mr. Slawson has put in his application and if we appoint him as chair, the Council could then appoint another business person. Mayor Paulson said it is better procedurally to wait until the full membership is established. Councilmember Kalligher stated if the Council intends to hold the issue open it should not appoint any members at this time, Councilmember Scott suggested leaving the chairperson position open and filling one position for the greater neighborhood representative. She said this would still leave two positions open. Mayor Paulson asked the Council to confirm th appointments. There was a motion by Councilmember Rosene and seconded by Councilmember Mann to confirm the appointments to the Northeast Transportation Corridor Task Force. Councilmember Scott stated she would rather defer but action needs to be ongoing with this task force. She added there should be no more advertising. The motion passed unanimously. The City Manager stated the resolution to create the task force would be brought to the next meeting so councilmembcrs would have time to review it. 4125/94 -12- CITY ATTORNEY SELECTION PROCESS The City Manager said there has been a process followed to select a city attorney. The candidates have been reduced to two firms, Popham Haile and Holmes and Graven. The staff recommendation is Holmes and Graven. Councilmember Scott asked what process is now expected. Mayor Paulson said the process has been completed and the Council should now be in a position to make a decision on the matter. Councilmember Scott commented the selection process was extremely thorough. She said her choice would be to continue to use Holmes and Graven for several reasons. She said she liked the practice of dealing with just one attorney rather than several. She also said Holmes and Graven have kept their budget within bounds and they have done a good job. She said she is concerned since the City is currently involved in several cases, a new firm would need to be "brought up to speed." She said she is also concerned about conflicts of interest. Councilmember Mann stated she also had concerns. She said the interviewing process was educational but its main purpose was to look at saving costs She said she believes choosing Holmes and Graven is the best way to keep costs down. There was a motion by Councilmember Kalligher and seconded by Councilmember Scott to retain the firm of Holmes and Graven as City Attorney. Mayor Paulson stated he has seen both firms in action and has seen the levels of service they give, He said in regard to conflict of interest it can happen with any firm. He said he is not concerned about the large size of a firm because the City would be hiring the firm for its depth of knowledge and the complete menu. He added Popham Haik could offer their experience in the private sector. He said he feels the City should seek the best value rather than the cheapest price. He said Popham Haik has innovative ideas, is visionary, is proactive, and is a reasonable cost. He added Popham Haik would be the best value and if the City were dissatisfied later it could always change back. Councilmember Rosene inquired how difficult it would be to change back if the Council were to select Popham Haik and be dissatisfied. Mayor Paulson said it would probably depend 'on. end n e handling of the situat p o th an g s to Councilmember Rosene stated he has been happy with the service Holmes and Graven has offered. He said in one way he would like to keep Holmes and Graven but ill another way he is curious to see if a different style might be more dynamic. Councilmember Mann commented that financis�J costs of changing back might slow down the process of redevelopment. She said she thinks the Council should keep that in rniuid. 4!25/94 - 13 -- Councilmember Scott said more opportunity for conflict of interest could arise since Popham Haik has private sector experience. She stated the firm is innovative but at what cost. In their work for St. Louis Park they had federal money to deal with. She stated she is concerned changing firms would be one more change in the midst of several changes such as new people on staff. She added Popham Haik had proposed assigning one attorney to the City Council and one attorney to the EDA and she is not in favor of that as they overlap. She said the Council should have faith in its attorney and she has faith in Mr. LeFevere. She added the Holmes and Graven firm has been honored by receiving an award selected by peers. Mayor Paulson said he agrees faith and confidence should be the criteria. He said one reason he reached the conclusion he did was he has worked with both firms. He said he liked Popham Haik's presentation and agrees with the team concept they offer with several attorneys who specialize in different areas. He said he thinks the turnover in staff makes this a good time for a change in attorneys and would help create a new viewpoint for the City, Councilmember Rosene stated he can see both sides of the issue. He said he likes the Holmes and Graven firm but would not be afraid of making a change and added he feels a new firm could "hit the ground running." He said he feels the Council will not lose whichever firm is chosen. Councilmember Kalligher reminded the Council she had made a motion Holmes and Graven be retained. She stated she is concerned about the City getting the most for its money Wed there could be hidden costs with a changeover. Roll call vote: Councilmembers Kalligher, aye; Mann, aye; Rosene, aye; Scott, aye; Mayor Paulson, nay. The motion passed. Mayor Paulson thanked Mr. L.eFevere for his firm's past and future service. RESOl1UTIONS - CQNMNUED The City Manager presented a Resolution Approving Specifications and Authorizing Advertisement for Bids for the Acquisition of a Liquor Inventory Control System. He called on Director of Finance Charlie Hansen to explain the resolution. The Director of Finance explained the existing system of cash registers and computers used for the sale of liquor in three stores need to be replaced as it is very difficult to obtain and maintain parts for the cash registers. He stated the staff report lists a timeline for replacement of the equipment. He also stated the new computer system will include inventory control which is a cost savings to be applied toward the purchase. He said the resolution will authorize him to advertise for bids on the equipment. 4/25/94 -14- Councilmember Rosene asked how many firm.3 the bid requests will be sent to. The Director of Finance said there is a list of possible vendors who will all receive specificatium for bids, He said there will also be newspaper advertisements. Councilmember Scott asked whether the City has a certain system in mind which others are using or if the City will be spending money for a system which it would be pioneering. The Director of Finance said there are several known systems which would meet the needs of the City, Councilmember Scott asked whether the price of $35,000 to $40,000 includes all equipment needed. The Director of Finance said the price is for the entire system. Councilmember Kalligher said she would like to know more about how much profit is received through the liquor stores. She said she was interested in whether It is worth it for the City to be in the business of selling liquor. The Director of Finance gave two reasons for the City to run the sale of liquor: 1) The City can in this way control sales, for example to minors and/or people who are already intoxicated, The City employees are trained not to sell liquor in those cases. A private store would r r i n be mo re l to sell liquor those, situations (illegally) for the • y q ( g lY� p rofit ; 2 The P 1n City does make a profit from handling the sale of liquor. In 1992, the profit was $120,000. In 1993, the profit was down to about $90,000. For the last two years, a sum of $100,000 has been transferred to the General Fund Budgcrt. He added if the City were to get out of the business of selling liquor, the alternative (selling the stores) would not be as profitable. The City Manager stated if the Council would like a report on this issue, it could go ahead and authorize the bids. He explained after the ,Staff had reported back, the Council could then still cancel the process. RESOLUTION NO. 94 -$8 Member Barb Kalligher introduced the following; resolution and moved its adoption with the. condition of a report being submitted: RESOLUTION APPROVING SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE ACQU I SIT ION ION OF A LIQUOR INVENTORY CONTROL SYSTEM. The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Celia Scott, and the motion passed unanimously. The City Manager presented a Resolution Amending the Order for the Storm Water Pond Improvemcnt Project No. 1992 -29. He explained an amendment is needed on the order for the storm water pond improvement project No. 1992 -29. He stated the wording needs to he changed so it can be included in a bond issue as some required language required by the IRS was omitted. He added five offers for purchase of property are coming in and without this resolution acquisition costs could not be bonded for. 4/25/94 -15 - Councilmember Mann said she had asked for this item to be removed from the consent agenda as she did not believe any bonding had been discussed. The Public Works Coordinator commented discussion was held during the utility rate study. Councilmember Mann asked the amount of the bond and what fund it is from. The Director of Yinance answered it is from storm water utility, with $400,000 in land acyuitihion costs this year plus $725,000 in construction costs next year, which will total $1,125,000 in bonding. Councilmember Mann asked if the City would also be paying principal interest; the Director of Finance replied affirmatively. The City Manager explained it is smart to bond ,as early as possible when interest rates are low, Councilmember Mann stated her concern is that this project is a regional -type pond. She stated everyone who contributes to the storm water utility fund is going to get benefit from it, but with the next project the improvement will be for one area and everyone will pay for it, She also is concerned about precedent for other neighborhood improvements. The Public Works Coordinator noted there is a citizen task force on which Councilmember Mann is a representative, which is reviewing the local water management plan. Councilmember Mann introduced another member of the task force. Mr. Grady Boeck, 6601 Indiana Avenue North, stated both resolutions, 13b and 13c should be taken in concert. There was a discussion among Mr. Boeck, the City Manager, the Director of Finance, and the Public Works Coordinator about property tax money, the pavement ans ement plan, and the resolution before the Council. g Mayor Paulson requested the Council complete its handling of 13b before continuing with 13c.

Councilmember Scott stated there is a program in place and suggested Mr. Boeck meet with members of the staff for further explanation, The City Manager stated the pavement management plan will be operational this summer. Councilmember Rosene asked Mr. Boeck whether he is a member of the water management task force.

The Secretary passed out a draft ordinance regarding this sign ordinance issue for the purpose of discussion. He explained anything underlined was an addition to the ordinance that already exists and anything in brackets he is recommending for removal from the ordinance. He explaincd his discussion with the City Attorney regarding requiring identification on the signs of the person putting up the sign.

The Secretary said they had discussed the concern of the Commission that someone could put up a sign in someone else's yard without the property owner knowing who was responsible. The City Attorney didn't seem to think that would be a big problem as the property owner could remove it upon discovery, 4 -28 -94 1 The Secretary also stated the City Attorney did not think it is a good idea to pursue a time limit on the 5igns because it seemed unreasonable and would be an administrative problem to monitor. He said the City Attorney thought ,regulating the signs with stipulations regarding maintenance was a more fair approach. The Secretary said having a limit on how long a sign can be up would require permits for signs which would take more time and administration than the bonefit would merit. The Secretary continued the City Attorney believed limiting the number of signs to one per property would not be a problem, not even with multiple dwelling situations. He stated there could be one opinion sign per complex, and the complex owner is the one with the right to display a sign, not each tenant. He said in a town home situation each owner would be allowed to place a sign with the consent of the association, and there could also be one sign in a common area for the complex. The Secretary said the language for opinion signs in commercial areas was taken from New Brighton and allowed the conversion of any existing sign to an opinion, but would not allow any additional signs. He said he did not anticipate any problems in the commercial area regarding these types of signs. The Secretary read through the draft ordinance and explained it amends chapter 34 by adding two new definitions and changing the title of political signs to campaign signs. He added these expression signs would not be. regulated during a State general election year, not even the size or number, from August 1 to 10 days after the election. He asked the Commission for discussion and recommendations. • Commissioner Holmes asked how the Commission had come up with 6 feet for a size and the Secretary stated that this is the same as the maximum size allowable for real estate signs. Commissioner Mickelson asked what Section 34 -130 currently contains and the Secretary explained it currently details prohibited signs, The Secretary then pointed out a slight error in the ordinance that needed correction by adding subdivision number 2 relating to permitted signs not requiring a permit. There was a motion by Commissioner Hilstrom and seconded by Commissioner Mickelson to table this to give the, Commission more time to look over the ordinance. The motion passed unanimously, Commissioner Hilstrom said she would like to see the changes to the Ordinance before snaking a final recommendation, and the Secretary replied he could make the currcetions and circulate the new version before the next Planning Commission meeting. Commissioner Booth reminded the Secretary the Commission had requested copies of both the original and amended versions of the New Brighton Ordinance. 4 -28 -94 2 The Secretary apologized for neglecting to put that into the packet for this evening and said he would get it for the next meeting, ® In response to a question by Commissioner Holmes, the Secretary said the City is now in a position where signs are appearing in the community that are technically prohibited because they are not expressly allowed. He added to cite someone because of such a sign it would, in all likelihood, be thrown out based on egnstitutional challenges. He said the main objective is to make the ordinance current given these facts, Commissioner Mickelson commented some signs could have content regarding campaign issues and could be disguiscd by taking the form of opinion signs. The Secretary responded an opinion is always an opinion, whether it is a campaign issue or not. CHAIRPERSON'S EXPLANATION Chairperson Willson explained 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, APPLICATION NO. 94003 (EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH OF THE MASTER . Chairperson Willson introduced the first item of business, a request from Fvan$elical Lutheran Church of the Master for preliminary plat approval to combine the church property located at 1200 69th Avenue North and a single family residential property at 1120 69th Avenue North into a single parcel. The Secretary presented the staff report and used overhead transparencies to show the location and detail (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 94003, attached). Commissioner Willson asked if the church's intent is to have enough parking for eventual expansion, and the Secretary stated there is no church expansion planned at this time but the parking exceeds current requirements. He added expansion could happen in the future. The Secretary continued churches have a difficult situation because normal use doesn't require the size of parking lot that special services like Christmas or Easter would require, and in some cases, provided parking is not necessarily convenient. Commissioner Mickelson asked where the handicap spots would be and Commissioner Willson asked for clarification on where the entrances would be. 4 -28 -94 3 Commissioner Mickelson asked what would happen if the church does not complete the curb and gutter improvements within the recommended three years, The secretary explained the City could foreclose on the bond and then contract to have the work completed. Commissioner Mickelson suggested the wording of the condition might be better if it said °up to but not to exceed 3 years," The Secretary said the completion date is stated and - the financial guarantee is in effect until released by the City Council and in the meantime the church would pay a bond premium or post cash until the project is completed., These are generally incentives enough to complete the work, Commissioner Willson asked when the revised parking plan would be available and suggested possibly the applicant should be required to provide that before this moves on. The Secretary said the current plan is seven feet short of what is required but by simply adjusting the angle of the spaces or removing a row the plan would be adequate, so he did not feel the application should be held up because of that Commissioner Booth commented if the church is going to acquire adjacent property for some purpose maybe curb and gutter would not be needed. The Secretary said if the church does anything with the adjoining property this plan would have to be modified, but without a financial guarantee there is no incentive to complete the • work on curb and gutter improvements, Commissioner Booth said he was not suggesting the church go without a financial guarantee, but because of future projects other possibilities should be allowed for. Commissioner Reem asked if there were to be lights in the lot and whether the neighbors had expressed concerns. The Secretary said there had not been talk of lighting in the plans and stated the only notification required was in the newspaper. Commissioner Holmes asked what type of lighting would be allowed if it were installed and the Secretary explained if they were on standards they would be shielded and shine down, but lights are not required by ordinance, but may be something the church will wish to consider for security purposes. Commissioner Holmes asked what kind of financial guarantee was required and the Secretary said generally a bond is posted. He continued improvements would be more expensive 3 -4 years from now so he suggested they may want to consider doing the improvements now if at all possible, 4 -28 -94 4 i PUBLIC-HEARING (_APPLICATION NO. 94003) Chairperson Willson asked for a motion to open the public hearing on the request from • Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Master for preliminary plat approval to combine the church property located at 1200 69th Avenue North and a single family residential property at 1120 69th Avenue North into a single parcel at 8. pm. There was a motion by Commissioner Nickelson and seconded by Commissioner Hilstrom to open the public hearing. The motion passed unanimously. Chairperson Willson asked if there was anyone present who wished to address the Commission. Chu rchmembers; Evan Green and Neil Johnson were present to answer any questions. Mr. Green explained there are some mid -week services in the summertime as well as evening activities like Scouts, etc. He said the only reason for the improvement is not convenient enough parking and said no lighting had been considered yet with the building committee but he thought it would be nice to have for security. Ile, added whatever lighting would be installed they would conform to the City's ordinances. Chairperson Willson said he is uncomfortable with the two issues of the parking plans and the lighting, and therefore asked Mr. Green if the church would be agreeable to coming back with revised plans for the parking and lighting prior to approval of the application. Mr. Green said he hoped the City Council would be able to take up the application on May 9th and the church wants completion before the fall, so he would be concerned to delay tha matter at all, He said the church is certainly amenable to working with the City Engineer and with Ron Warren to amend the parking plan so that it meets the ordinance and they could get right to work on the lighting as well but he would hate to delay the application even two weeks. Chairperson Willson stated this is actually an incomplete application. Commissioner Reem said parking lot improvement situations don't even usually come before the Commission and because there are already lighting ordinances on the books that must be complied with, as long as staff is comfortable with working with the church she could see no problem with going ahead with the application. Commissioner Willson said he is concerned with setting a precedent for approving incomplete applications. Commissioner Hilstrom suggested adding conditions 6 and 7 regarding lighting and parking. 4.28.94 5 Mr. Green said the church may not even put lights in right away but he assured the Commission they would comply with any ordinances. He said they would likely put the parking lot in now and then come back later and put the li ghts in if needed. • Commissioner Reem said it would be more efficient with electrical work to have it underground and do it at the same time as the parking lox. The Secretary said he has no problem with the application and does not think it would create an inappropriate precedent to recommend it without having the changes presented to the Commission. He added the plan could go ahead as it is without any problems. He said Condition #4 covers the parking lot issue and Condition #6 could be added stating the lighting will comply with Section 35 -712 of the Ordinance. There was a motion by Commissioner Mickelson and seconded by Commissioner Hilstrom to make changes to #4 and #6 of the Conditions m recommended. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Green said he would go before the church building committee and explain it would be better to put curb and gutter in originally instead of putting in bituminous curbs and then tearing them out in three years. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING There was a motion by Commissioncr IIilstrom and seconded by Commi Mickelson to close the public hearing at 9:07 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. ACTION RECOMMENDING ApjEgQVAL OF�AEPLICATIUN NO. 9iW3 (EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH OF 'CIE MA.S'I ER: There was a motion by Commissioner Hilstrom and seconded by Commissioner Booth to recommend approval of Application No. 94003 submitted by Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Master for preliminary plat approval to combine the church property located at 1200 69th Avenue North and a single family residential property at 1120 69th Avenue North into a single parcel subject to the following conditions; 1.

If any changes or modifications, other than those recommended, are made to the plans prior to City Council consideration, they must be brought back before the Planning Commission for review. The Commission took a short break at 9:10 p.m. and the meeting reconvened at 9:15 p.m. • APPLICATION NO. 940044 &RUDENTI.AL INSU COMPANY QF AMERICAS Chairperson Willson introduced the next item of business, a request from Prudential Insurance Company of America for site and building plan approval to construct a 5,195 square foot addition to the Brookdale Square Shopping Center. The Secretary presented the staff report, used overhead transparencies to show the location and detail (sec Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 94004, attached), Commissioner Reem asked how the parking stipulations apply to a vacant building, and the Secretary said 5.5 spaces are required per square foot whether the building is empty or full. Commissioner Mickolson asked what dryvit is and the Secretary explained it is a type of treatment similar to stucco. He also asked whether the loading dock is for customers and found out it is not. Commissioner Mickelson asked to see the Marquette Partners letter their commitment to maintain the skimming devices and provide sufficient landscaping to meet the point system. 4 -28 -94 7 The Secretary explained some shrubs and trees have died from lack of maintenance since 1989 and he suggested a condition to acknowledge a revised landscaping plan. He said there is no public hearing required but asked if the representatives of the applicant wanted to • address the Commission. Mr. John Johanson, Vice President of Retail with Welsh Companies came forward and introduced Lori Randall with Marquette Partners and Gary Tushie of Tushie, Montgumery Architects. He explained because' the loan was defaulted on the ownership was up in the air for quite 'a while. He said Prudential Insurance Company of America has the resources to improve the property and use a professional approach in the management of the operation. Chairperson Willson said it is nice to see direct control of the property being taken. He asked what is in the works as far as tenants. Mr. Johannson gave no specifics regarding tenants because that takes time. Commissioner Mickelson said it is good to see this center getting tenants, and he added it has been questioned at every Planning Commission meeting what Was coming up fur the T. Wrights building. Commissioner Hilstrom asked when construction would begin and Gary Tushie said it would hopefully begin the 16th or 17th of June and run for eight weeks. Commissioner Reem asked when the parking lot will be upgraded and Lori Randall said that should occur in June. All agreed the parking lot is rough and needs repair. Commissioner Mickelson asked if six spots for handicapped parking is enough. The Secretary responded there are six in one area and several mol in other areas. Gary Tushie explained the ADA requirements are for b handicap spots per 300 parking spots. There was discussion regarding the addition of a condition number 12 which will appear as follows: ACTTON RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLLCATION NO. 94004 ( INSURANCE CQMPANY OF MERI There was a motion by Commissioner Hllstrom and seconded by Commissioner Reem to recommend approval of Application No. 94004 submitted by Prudential Insurance Company of America for site and building plan approval to construct a 5,195 square foot addition to the Brookdalc Square Shopping Center subject to the following conditions: 1.

There was discussion regarding the status of current building projects. g g ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Commissioner Nickelson and seconded by Commissioner Hilstrom to adjourn the meeting of the Planning Commission. The motion pa$sed'unanimously. The Planning Commission adjourned at 10:16 p,m, Chairperson Recorded and transcribed by: Kathy Stratton TirncSaver Off Sitc Secretarial 4 -28 -94 10 Planning Commission Information Sheet • Application No. 94003 Applicant: Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Master Location: 1200 69th Avenue North Request: Preliminary Plat The applicant is seeking preliminary plat approval to combine into a single lot the existing Lutheran Church of the Master site at 1200 69th Avenue North and the single family residential lot located immediately to the east at 1120 69th Avenue North. The two lots, once combined, would create a 201,047.6 square foot church parcel. The church intends to remove an existing house and garage and expand its current parking facility located on the south side of the church building into this lot. The properties in question are zoned R1 (Single Family Residential) and are bounded on the north and east by 70th Avenue, Emerson Avenue and three 1 1/2 story apartment buildings; on the west by the Northbrook Terrace apartment complex; and on the south by 69th Avenue with the City's Public Utility building and a single family home located on the opposite side of 69th Avenue. The current legal description of the properties is Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Master Addition. The new legal description is proposed to be Lot 1, Block 1, Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Master Second Addition. Currently, Lot 2 containing the single family home is 20,018.6 square feet in area with Lot 1 (church parcel) being 181,029 square feet in area. The combined site will be 4.62 acres, which is under the 5 acre threshold for Watershed Commission review. These same two parcels were the subject of Planning Commission Application No. 80044 which was also a preliminary plat submitted by the Lutheran Church of the Master, approved in 1980, subdividing the church parcel and creating a lot on which the single family home is located. The church did this at that time in order to sell the home at 1120 69th Avenue which had served for a number of years as the church parsonage. This lot recently became available for sale and the church reacquired it for the purpose of expanding their south parking lot. There are no major problems with the proposed combination. The church may wish to seek the J P P P Y vacation of two 5' drainage and utility easements that exist along the current common boundary between the existing Lot 1 and Lot 2, however, this is not necessary as they are proposing only a parking lot expansion over these easements. PARKING LOT EXPANSION Parking lot expansions generally do not require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council but only compliance with applicable ordinance requirements. We have requested the applicant, however, to provide a parking lot plan for review because it 4 -28 -94 -1- Planning Commission Information Sheet coincides directly with the purposed platting. The plan calls for expansion of the parking lot to • the east and south of the existing lot. Currently, there are two rows of 90 degrees parking in this area. Their plan is to create four rows of angled parking with one way drive lanes in a clockwise fashion around the parking lot. Given the parameters of the Zoning Ordinance for angled parking, they may need to either alter the angle of parking to 45 degrees, from its current 60 degrees, or increase the total width of the parking lot by approximately 7'. A 15' greenstrip is required along 69th Avenue, so adding to the parking lot width in that location is not possible. d b b ill b t l ki The parking o we bound B612 curb and art, is utter. Drainage, for the most II I, Y g P unchanged with the new paved area draining into existing catch basins and storm sewer leading to 69th Avenue. The existing easterly access will be closed and shifted further to the east, and be approximately 15' from the new east property line. Parking protectors, bounded by curb and gutter, are to be provided at the ends of the parking rows. The parking protector for the middle row at the west end should be extended to provide proper protection. The applicant is requesting that they be allowed to provide bituminous formed curb rather than required concrete curb for an interim period of time in a specific are noted on the plan where the church property abuts with the multi - residential to the east. The applicant has indicated that the church may acquire these apartment buildings in the near future and combine one, or all, with the church facility. There future plans might eliminate the need for curbing in this area. I am not quite sure how a future plan might cause the need to eliminate this parking edge, however, the City has deferred curb and gutter improvements for limited periods of time provided a sufficient financial guarantee has been posted to cover the costs of completing such an improvement along with a necessary agreement. The church may be wise to reevaluate this proposal, as it may be less expensive and more efficient to install the curb and gutter now rather than later. We can however, accommodate their request with certain P rovisions. The plan shows a 6' high fence around the expanded parking lot where it abuts with the multiple residential property to the east. The purpose of this fence is to meet screening requirements contained in the ordinance. Their plan calls for a chain link fence with plastic slat inserts. This type of screening has not been considered appropriate by the City over the years. The plan should be modified to provide a wood opaque fence to meet the screening requirements. The plan also provides for a bermed area in the 15' greenstrip along 69th Avenue North. The berm would be approximately 3 1/2 feet in height and contain shrubbery along the top of the berm to provide additional screening of the parking lot from the residential property across 69th Avenue. This berm may have to be dropped to a lower grade in the west end of the greenstrip but this should not cause screening problems as the public utilities building is located on the side opposite 69th rather than residential dwellings. Other than the items pointed out, the parking and screening plans are in order. 4 -28 -94 -2- • Planning Commission Information Sheet There is a public hearing scheduled with the preliminary plat application. The applicant plans to seek preliminary and final approval of the plat from the City Council at the same time. It should be noted that the parking lot improvements cannot go forward until the plat has been given final approval by the City Council and filed with Hennepin County. RECOMMENDATION Approval of the preliminary plat application is recommended subject to the following conditions: 1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City ordinances. 3. The applicant shall enter into a performance agreement and provide a financial guarantee (in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) to assure completion of all approved site improvements prior to the release of the final plat for filing with Hennepin County. 4. The applicant's parking lot plan shall comply in all respects to the Zoning PP P 8 P P Y P g Ordinance provisions. The plan shall be modified to provide a 6' high wood • opaque fence for screening purposes. 5. Concrete curb and gutter requirements may be deferred for up to 3 years where this property abuts with multiple residential property to the east. A bituminous formed curb may be utilized in this area during this interim period. The financial guarantee comprehended for these improvements shall not be released in its entirety until permanent curb and gutter improvements are installed. • 4 -28 -94 -3- Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 94004 Applicant: Douglas Johnson of Marquette Partners, Inc. on Behalf of the Owner, Prudential Insurance Company of America Location: Brookdale Square Shopping Center Request: Site and Building Plan Approval The applicant is seeking site and building approval to construct a 5,195 sq. ft. addition to the east end of the strip center building at Brookdale Square shopping center. The addition would extend out some 27 ft. 8 in. to expand the tenant space previously occupied by T. J. Maxx for use by a new tenant, Office Depot. The addition would extend all along the east side to just beyond the north end of the existing building. The property in question is zoned C -2 and general commerce uses such as the retail center are permitted uses in this zoning district. The Brookdale Square shopping center site consists of four separate buildings, the two theaters, a vacant restaurant building, and the strip center where the addition is proposed. It is located between Shingle Creek Parkway and John Martin Drive. It is bounded on the north by the U.S. West building, the Group Health dental clinic, and Perkin's restaurant; on the east by John Martin Drive and a portion of T.H. 100 right -of -way; on the south by Brookdale Ford; and on the west by Shingle Creek Parkway. ACCESS /PARKING The plan calls for no changes to the accesses serving the site, which currently include two on Shingle Creek Parkway and a shared access with Group Health and Perkin's along John Martin Drive. Some reconfiguration of the drive lanes and parking east of the new addition is contemplated. Parking requirements are the main limiting factors with respect to the ability for building expansion on this site. The applicant has provided a parking analysis based on ordinance required parking formulas, which indicate the ability to expand. Their plan with the building addition shows the ability to provide 1,630 parking spaces plus an additional 157 proof of parking stalls for a total of 1,787 parking spaces. The Brookdale Square shopping center was last expanded in 1989 (Planning Commission Application No. 89017), at which time the Cinema Theater site was incorporated with Brookdale Square and an approximate 38,900 sq. ft. addition was made to the strip center (25,200 sq. ft. for T. J. Maxx and 13,700 sq. ft. for the Drug Emporium). This combination provided a new shared access to Brookdale Square from John Martin Drive and a new parking and driving arrangement. A parking analysis and proof of parking agreement were also accomplished at that time showing a total potential parking compliment of 1,958 spaces, including 260 deferred stalls (or proof of parking spaces). This amounted to a surplus at the time of 58 parking spaces. Since that time, the City has modified its retail parking formula downward to its current 5.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area, which provides an additional 48 spaces to the mix, making a surplus of 106 parking spaces currently on the site. (Note: The difference between 4 -28 -94 -1- Planning Commission Information Sheet 1,787 spaces and the 1,958 spaces shown on the old plan amounts to a proof of parking plan, based on ordinance minimum standards and a reconfiguration of the parking layout.) The proposed 5,195 sq. ft. addition would eliminate 22 parking spaces, 14 on the north side of the building and 8 spaces in the parking area east of the addition, leaving a total 1,936 spaces based on the actual proof of parking plan. Using the applicant's calculations for theater, retail square footage and revised restaurant seating for the old T. Wright's building, they come to a required parking of 1,716 stalls. Even without the changes to the old T. Wright's restaurant, which reduces seating from 500 (250 per floor) to 206 for one floor, it appears that parking will be adequate given the current proof of parking plan and agreement. LANDSCAPING We have requested the applicant to provide a landscape inventory and analysis of the landscaping based on our landscape point system. An analysis was also provided at the time of the 1989 P P Y Y P addition and additional landscaping was provided. Based on a review of our records, most of that landscaping was accomplished, however, the inventory should provide a proper analysis. Notes in our file indicate a need to clean up volunteer trees and shrubs growing along the west property line between the U.S. West site and the parking lot to the north of this addition. To date this has not been accomplished, but the applicant has assured it will be done. The City is still holding a financial guarantee from the 1989 project, which has been dormant because of the former owners financial problems. GRADING /DRAINAGE /UTILITIES The proposed plan for the addition comprehends little in the way of changes to the drainage plan. The Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission had approved a storm drainage plan for site also in 1989, which included skimming devices on the property. These devices are in need of periodic, but regular, maintenance. The applicant has agreed to better maintaining these devices in the future. The building addition will require at least the administrative review by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission staff. It is anticipated that no major changes to the storm water retention plan would be required due to the recent (1989) review. The building addition will also require the relocation of a 24 in. storm sewer that runs along the east side of the current building. This area is a current grass area, which will now contain the expanded building, and a new 5 ft. wide concrete sidewalk. The parking protection islands east of the drive lane will need to be relocated further east. B612 curb and gutter is required around all driving and parking areas. 4 -28 -94 -2- Planning Commission Information Sheet BUILDING The exterior treatment of the proposed building addition is to be brick to match the existing shopping center. The existing display windows will be removed and filled in with brick. The entrance to the space on the south side will shift further to the east. An architectural feature, which is enclosed (similar to one for the Circuit City site), will be constructed at the southeast corner of the building. This will be highlighted with dryvit, white in color, and will contain allowable wall signery for the tenant. A new loading dock and trash compactor area will be provided on the north side of the facility. The truck dock will be ramped to an at -grade dock door. The plans show an approximate 3 ft. high steel guard rail protecting the ramp area. We would recommend that this fence /guard rail be increased in height to 6 ft. and be a brick exterior wall to match the existing wall in order to provide some screening from the loading dock and the trash compactor area from adjacent businesses to the north (Group Health and Perkin's). RECOMMENDATION Altogether, the plans appear to be in order and approval is recommended subject to at least the following conditions : 1. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits. 2. Grading, drainage and utility plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of permits. 3. A new site performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee (in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be submitted prior to the issuance of permits. 4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical equipment shall be appropriately screened from view. 5. The building addition is to be equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system to meet NFPA standards and shall be connected to a central monitoring device in accordance with Chapter 5 of the city ordinances. 6. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery, which is subject to Chapter 34 of the city ordinances. 7. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and driving areas. 4 -28 -94 -3- Planning Commission Information Sheet 8. The applicant shall submit a new as -built survey of the property, improvements and utilities service lines prior to release of the performance guarantee. 9. The storm water drainage system is subject to at least an administrative review by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission staff prior to the issuance of permits. 10. On -site traffic control signs shall be installed and maintained by the applicant. Said signs shall be constructed in accordance with the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. 11. The plans shall be modified to indicate a 6 ft. high screening and security fence to match the existing building to provide additional screening for the loading dock and trash compactor area. 4 -28 -94 -4- CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date 5 -9 -94 Agenda Item Number �Q Q REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 94003 SUBMITTED BY EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH OF THE MASTER ********************************************************** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** DEPT.

This application was considered by the Planning Commission at its April 28, 1994 meeting. Attached are minutes and information sheets from that meeting, a map of the area, and various plans relating to the proposed preliminary plat. RECOMMENDATION This application was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission at its April 28, 1994 meeting subject to conditions of approval as listed in the minutes. • i Planning Commission Information Sheet • g Application No. 94003 Applicant: Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Master Location: 1200 69th Avenue North Request: Preliminary Plat The applicant is seeking preliminary plat approval to combine into a single lot the existing Lutheran Church of the Master site at 1200 69th Avenue North and the single family residential lot located immediately to the east at 1120 69th Avenue North. The two lots, once combined, would create a 201,047.6 square foot church parcel. The church intends to remove an existing house and garage and expand its current parking facility located on the south side of the church building into this lot. The properties in question are zoned R1 (Single Family Residential) and are bounded on the north and east by 70th Avenue, Emerson Avenue and three 1 1/2 story apartment buildings; on the west by the Northbrook Terrace apartment complex; and on the south by 69th Avenue with the City's Public Utility building and a single family home located on the opposite side of 69th Avenue. The current legal description of the properties is Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Master Addition. The new legal description is proposed to be Lot 1, Block 1, • Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Master Second Addition. Currently, Lot 2 containing the single family home is 20, 018.6 square feet in area with Lot 1 (church parcel) being 181,029 square feet in area. The combined site will be 4.62 acres, which is under the 5 acre threshold for Watershed Commission review. These same two parcels were the subject of Planning Commission Application No. 80044 which was also a preliminary plat submitted by the Lutheran Church of the Master, approved in 1980, subdividing the church parcel and creating a lot on which the single family home is located. The church did this at that time in order to sell the home at 1120 69th Avenue which had served for a number of years as the church parsonage. This lot recently became available for sale and the church reacquired it for the purpose of expanding their south parking lot. There are no major problems with the proposed combination. The church may wish to seek the vacation of two 5' drainage and utility easements that exist along the current common boundary between the existing Lot 1 and Lot 2, however, this is not necessary as they are proposing only a parking lot expansion over these easements. PARKING LOT EXPANSION Parking lot expansions generally do not require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council but only compliance with applicable ordinance requirements. We have requested the applicant, however, to provide a parking lot plan for review because it 4 -28 -94 -1- Planning Commission Co ss on Information he g Sheet coincides directly with the purposed platting. The plan calls for expansion of the parking lot to the east and south of the existing lot. Currently, there are two rows of 90 degrees parking in this area. Their plan is to create four rows of angled parking with one way drive lanes in a clockwise fashion around the parking lot. Given the parameters of the Zoning Ordinance for angled parking, they may need to either alter the angle of parking to 45 degrees, from its current 60 degrees, or increase the total width of the parking lot by approximately 7'. A 15' greenstrip is required along 69th Avenue, so adding to the parking lot width in that location is not possible. The parking lot will be bound by B612 curb and gutter. Drainage, for the most part, is unchanged with the new paved area draining into existing catch basins and storm sewer leading to 69th Avenue. The existing easterly access will be closed and shifted further to the east, and approximately be 15 from the new east property line. Parking protectors, bounded by curb and gutter, are to be provided at the ends of the parking rows. The parking protector for the middle row at the west end should be extended to provide proper protection. The applicant is requesting that they be allowed to provide bituminous formed curb rather than required concrete curb for an interim period of time in a specific are noted on the plan where the church property abuts with the multi - residential to the east. The applicant has indicated that the church may acquire these apartment buildings in the near future and combine one, or all, with the church facility. There future plans might eliminate the need for curbing in this area. I am not quite sure how a future plan might cause the need to eliminate this parking edge, however, the City as deferred curb and utter improvements for limited periods of time Y g P P provided a sufficient financial guarantee has been posted to cover the costs of completing such an improvement along with a necessary agreement. The church may be wise to reevaluate this proposal, as it may be less expensive and more efficient to install the curb and gutter now rather than later. We can, however, accommodate their request with certain provisions. The plan shows a 6' high fence around the expanded parking lot where it abuts with the multiple residential property to the east. The purpose of this fence is to meet screening requirements contained in the ordinance. Their plan calls for a chain link fence with plastic slat inserts. This type of screening has not been considered appropriate by the City over the years. The plan should be modified to provide a wood opaque fence to meet the screening requirements. The plan also provides for a bermed area in the 15' greenstrip along 69th Avenue North. The berm would be approximately 3 1/2 feet in height and contain shrubbery along the top of the berm to provide additional screening of the parking lot from the residential property across 69th Avenue. This berm may have to be dropped to a lower grade in the west end of the greenstrip but this should not cause screening problems as the public utilities building is located on the side opposite 69th rather than residential dwellings. Other than the items pointed out, the parking and screening plans are in order. 4 -28 -94 -2- • Planning Commission Information Sheet There is a public hearing scheduled with the preliminary plat application. The applicant plans to seek preliminary and final approval of the plat from the City Council at the same time. It should be noted that the parking lot improvements cannot go forward until the plat has been given final approval by the City Council and filed with Hennepin County. RECOMMENDATION Approval of the preliminary plat application is recommended subject to the following conditions: 1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City ordinances. 3. The applicant shall enter into a performance agreement and provide a financial guarantee (in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) to assure completion of all approved site improvements prior to the release of the final plat for filing with Hennepin County. 4. The applicant's parking lot plan shall comply in all respects to the Zoning Ordinance provisions. The plan shall be modified to provide a 6' high wood opaque fence for screening purposes. 5. Concrete curb and gutter requirements may be deferred for up to 3 years where this property abuts with multiple residential property to the east. A bituminous formed curb may be utilized in this area during this interim period. The financial guarantee comprehended for these improvements shall not be released in its entirety until permanent curb and gutter improvements are installed. 4 -28 -94 -3- The Secretary apologized for neglecting to put that into the packet for this evening and said he would get it for the next meeting. In response to a question by Commissioner Holmes, the Secretary said the City is now in a position where signs are appearing in the community that are technically prohibited because they are not expressly allowed. He added to cite someone because of such a sign it would, in all likelihood, be, thrown out based on constitutional challenges. He said the main objective is to make the ordinance current given these facts. Commissioner Mickelson commented some signs could have content regarding campaign issues and could be disguised by taking the form of opinion signs. The Secretary responded an opinion is always an opinion, whether it is a campaign issue or not, CHAIRPERSON'S EX P LANATION Chairperson Willson explained the Planning Conunission 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. APPLICATION NO. 94003 (EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH OF THE MASTER Chairperson Willson introdutcd the first item of business, a request from Rvs�ngelical Lutheran Church of the Master for preliminary plat approval to combine the church property located at 1200 69th Avenue North and a single family residential property at 1120 69th Avenue North into a single parcel. The Secretary presented the staff report and used overhead transparencies to show the location and detail (see Planning Commission Inforniation Sheet for Application No. 94003, attached). Commissioner Willson asked if the church's intent is to have enough parking for eventual expansion, and the Secretary stated there is no church expansion planned at this time but the parking exceeds current requirements. He added expansion could happen in the future. The Secretary continued churches have a difficult situation because normal use doesn't require the size of parking lot that special services like Christmas or Easter would require, and in some cases, provided parking is not necessarily convenient. Commissioner Mickelson asked where the handicap spots would be and Commissioner Willson asked for clarification on where the entrances would be. • 4 -28 -94 3 Commissioner Mickelson asked what would happen if the church does not complete the curb and gutter improvements within the recommended three years, The Secretary explained the City could foreclose on the bond and then contract to have the work completed. Commissioner Mickelson suggested the wording of the condition might be better if it said "up to but not to exceed 3 years," The Secretary said the completion date is stated and - the financial guarantee is in effect until released by the City Council and in the meantime the church would pay a bond premium or post cash until the project is completed, These are generally incentives enough to complete the work, Commissioner Willson asked when the revised parking plan would be available and suggested possibly the applicant should be required to provide that before this moves on, The Secretary said the current plan is seven feet short of what is required but by simply adjusting the angle of the spaces or removing a row the plan would be adequate, so he did not feel the application should be held up because of that. Commissioner Booth commented if the church is going to acquire adjacent property for some purpose maybe curb and gutter would not be needed. The Secretary said if the church does anything with the adjoining property this plan would have to be modified, but without a financial guarantee there is no incentive to complete the work on curb and gutter improvements, Commissioner Booth said he was not suggesting the church go without a financial guarantee, but because of future projects other possibilities should be allowed for. Commissioner Reem asked if there were to be lights in the lot and whether the neighbors had expressed concerns. The Secretary said there had not been talk of lighting in the plans and stated the only notification required was in the newspaper. Commissioner Holmes asked what type of lighting would be allowed if it were installed and the Secretary oxplained if they were on standards they would be shielded and shine down, but lights are not required by ordinance, but may be something the church will wish to consider for security purposes. Commissioner Holmes asked what kind of financial guarantee was required and the Secretary said generally a bond is posted. He continued improvements would be more expensive 34 years from now so he suggested they may want to consider doing the improvements now if at all possible, 4 -28 -94 4 i PUBLIC HEARING (APPLICATION NO, 940031 Chairperson Willson asked for a motion to open the public hearing on the request from Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Master for preliminary plat approval to combine the church property located at 1200 69th Avenue North and a single family residential property at 1120 69th Avenue North into a single parcel at 8:50 pm. There was a motion by Commissioner Mickelson and seconded by Commissioner Hilstrom to open the public hearing. The motion passed unanimously, Chairperson Willson asked if there was anyone present who wished to address the Commission. Chu rchmembers Evan Green and Neil Johnson were present to answer any questions. Mr. Green explained there are some mid -week services in the summertime as well as evening activities like Scouts, etc. He said the only reason for the improvement is not convenient enough parking and said no lighting had been considered yet with the building committee but he thought it would be nice to have for security. He added whatever lighting would be installed they would conform to the City's ordinances. Chairperson Willson said he is uncomfortable with the two issues of the parking plans and the lighting, and therefore asked Mr. Green if the church would be agreeable to coming back with revised plans for the parking and lighting prior to approval of the application. • Mr. Green said he hoped the City Council would be able to take up the application on May 9th and the church wants completion before the fall, so he would be concerned to delay the matter at all. He said the church is certainly amenable to working with the City Engineer and with Ron Warren to amend the parking plan so that it meets the ordinance and they could get right to work on the lighting as well but he would hate to delay the application even two weeks. Chairperson Willson stated this is actually an incomplete application. Commissioner Reem said parking lot improvement situations don't even usually come before the Commission and because there are already lighting ordinances on the books that must be complied with, as long as staff is comfortable with working with the church she could see no problem with going ahead with the application. Commissioner Willson said he is concerned with setting a precedent for approving incomplete applications. Commissioner Hilstrom suggested adding conditions 6 and 7 regarding lighting and parking. 4 -28 -94 5 Mr. Green said the church may not even put lights in right away but he assured the Commission they would comply with any ordinances. He said they would likely put the parking lot in now and then come back later and put the lights in if needed. . Commissioner Reem said it would be more efficient with electrical work to have it underground and do it at the same time as the parking lot. The Secretary said he has no problem with the application and does not think it would create an inappropriate precedent to recommend it without having the changes presented to the Commission. He added the plan could go ahead as it is without any problems. He said Condition #4 covers the parking lot issue and Condition #6 could be added stating the lighting will comply with Section 35 -712 of the Ordinance. There was a motion by Commissioner Mickelson and seconded by Commissioner Hilstrom to make changes to #4 and #6 of the Conditions as recommended. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Green said he would go before the church building committee and explain it would be better to put curb and gutter in originally instead of putting in bituminous curbs and then tearing them out in three years. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING There wits a motion by Commissioner Hilstrom and sccondcd by Commissioner Mickelson to close the public hearing at 9;07 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. ACIION -- RECOMMENDING AP OF AEPLICATIQN NO, 94003 (EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH OF THE fER) There was a motion by Commissioner Hilstrom and seconded by Commissioner Booth to recommend approval of Application No. 94003 submitted by Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Master for preliminary plat approval to combine the church property located at 1200 69th Avenue North and a single family residential property at 1120 69th Avenue North into a single parcel subject to the following conditions; 1.

The Secretary noted that the application will be referred to the City Council for their May 9, 1994, meeting, The applicant is required to be present at the City Council meeting. If any changes or modifications, other than those recommended, are made to the plans prior to City Council considcration, they must be brought back before the Planning Commission for review, The Commission took a short break at 9:10 p.m. and the meeting reconvened at 9:15 p.m. • APPLICATION NO 94004 , RUDENTI,AL INSURANCE COMPANY QF AMERICA) Chairperson Willson introduced the next item of business, a request from Prudential Insurance Company of America for site and building plan approval to construct a 5,195 square foot addition to the Brookdale Square Shopping Center, The Secretary presented the staff report, used overhead transparencies to show the location and detail (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 94004, attached), Commissioner Reem asked how the parking stipulations apply to a vacant building, and the Secretary said 5.5 spaces are required per square foot whether the building is empty or full. Commissioner Mickelson asked what dryvit is and the Secretary explained it is a type of treatment similar to stucco. He also asked whether the loading dock is for customers aUid found out it is not. Commissioner Mickelson asked to see the Marquette Partners letter their commitment to maintain the slimming devices and provide sufficient landscaping to meet the point system. • 4 -28 -94 7 t�■ 1 =111 iii ■i �■ Imo■ -1111111 ,�„� ■.,,.._....- �,,�,° ♦,,,♦ ������♦ C 1111 11111 i, � ��� 1111 111/ � ��� ♦� ♦� ♦� ♦♦ ♦� ♦ ♦ ♦� � / � / � I . r , 1 1/ /111 ■ . . 1111 1 • ♦ ♦♦ .. ♦ ♦♦ � ' - ,. t/ // 111- �� ♦j♦ ♦ .. ♦� ♦� ♦� � ; /_ 1�1 � - ��� ■■ ��� 1 � ♦� ♦� ♦� � ♦��� ♦j � �1 1■■1 /1 1 111 ■� ■ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦• ;// 111111 =MEN -- 1 111 / ■ ' ;; /� I :.► ♦•► ♦�► ♦�" 111 ■11 11111 1 �♦ , . �!I •• ■ 11 ,. ■111 ��♦ � ♦ � 111, � ,,, ....!�." 1111 /1/ � � /i/ /1 ■11111 111 /1� ■ _ �� ♦�.��/ � , ., •'• °:, I 11 •' ► :1 n■ :11111 .�,...`. .� • ip ■.� 111111111 / .. �■ �� s/// / : ■• �' ii ' i � 1111 /1111111111 • , ., 11 �►� � � : ■ �i / � • 1111!

APPROVAL: Ronald A. Warren, Planning and Zoning Specialist MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached ) Request for site and building plan approval to construct a 5,195 square foot addition to the • Brookdale Square Shopping Center. This application was considered by the Planning Commission at its April 28, 1994 meeting. Attached are minutes and information sheets from that meeting, a map of the area, and various plans relating to the proposed site and building plan approval. RECOMMENDATION This application was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission at its April 28, 1994 meeting subject to conditions of approval as listed in the minutes. Planning Commission Information Sheet • Application No. 94004 Applicant: Douglas Johnson of Marquette Partners, Inc. on Behalf of the Owner, Prudential Insurance Company of America Location: Brookdale Square Shopping Center Request: Site and Building Plan Approval The applicant is seeking site and building approval to construct a 5,195 sq. ft. addition to the east end of the strip center building at Brookdale Square shopping center. The addition would extend out some 27 ft. 8 in. to expand the tenant space previously occupied by T. J. Maxx for use by a new tenant, Office Depot. The addition would extend all along the east side to just beyond the north end of the existing building. The property in question is zoned C -2 and general commerce uses such as the retail center are permitted uses in this zonin g q shopping Square district. The Brookdale S sho in center site consists of four separate buildings, the two theaters, a vacant restaurant building, and the strip center where the addition is proposed. It is located between Shingle Creek Parkway and John Martin Drive. It is bounded on the north by the U.S. West building, the Group Health dental clinic, and Perkin's restaurant; on the east by John Martin Drive and a portion of T.H. 100 right -of -way; on the south by Brookdale Ford; and on the west by Shingle Creek Parkway. Y ACCESS /PARKING • The plan calls for no changes to the accesses serving the site, which currently include two on Shingle Creek Parkway and a shared access with Group Health and Perkin's along John Martin Drive. Some reconfiguration of the drive lanes and parking east of the new addition is contemplated. Parking requirements are the main limiting factors with respect to the ability for building expansion on this site. The applicant has provided a parking analysis based on ordinance required parking formulas, which indicate the ability to expand. Their plan with the building addition shows the ability to provide 1,630 parking spaces plus an additional 157 proof of parking stalls for a total of 1,787 parking spaces. The Brookdale Square shopping center was last expanded in 1989 (Planning Commission Application No. 89017), at which time the Cinema Theater site was incorporated with Brookdale Square and an approximate 38,900 sq. ft. addition was made to the strip center (25,200 sq. ft. for T. J. Ma-tx and 13,700 sq. ft. for the Drug Emporium). This combination provided a new shared access to Brookdale Square from John Martin Drive and a new parking and driving arrangement. A parking analysis and proof of parking agreement were also accomplished at that time showing a total potential parking compliment of 1,958 spaces, including 260 deferred stalls (or proof of parking spaces). This amounted to a surplus at the time of 58 parking spaces. Since that time, the City has modified its retail parking formula downward to its current 5.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area, which provides an additional 48 spaces to the mix, making a surplus of 106 parking spaces currently on the site. (Note: The difference between 4 -28 -94 -1- Planning Commission Information Sheet 1,787 spaces and the 1,958 spaces shown on the old plan amounts to a proof of parking plan, • based on ordinance minimum standards and a reconfiguration of the parking layout.) The proposed 5,195 sq. ft. addition would eliminate 22 parking spaces, 14 on the north side of the building and 8 spaces in the parking area east of the addition, leaving a total 1,936 spaces based on the actual proof of parking plan. Using the applicant's calculations for theater, retail square footage and revised restaurant seating for the old T. Wright's building, they come to a required parking of 1,716 stalls. Even without the changes to the old T. Wright's restaurant, which reduces seating from 500 (250 per floor) to 206 for one floor, it appears that parking will be adequate given the current proof of parking plan and agreement. LANDSCAPING We have requested the applicant to provide a landscape inventory and analysis of the landscaping based on our landscape point system. An analysis was also provided at the time of the 1989 addition and additional landscaping was provided. Based on a review of our records, most of that landscaping was accomplished, however, the inventory should provide a proper analysis. Notes in our file indicate a need to clean up volunteer trees and shrubs growing along the west property line between the U.S. West site and the parking lot to the north of this addition. To date this has not been accomplished, but the applicant has assured it will be done. The City is still holding a financial guarantee from the 1989 project, which has been dormant because of the former owners financial problems. • GRADING /DRAINAGE /UTILITIES The proposers plan for the addition comprehends little in the way of changes to the drainage plan. The Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission had approved a storm drainage plan for site also in 1989, which included skimming devices on the property. These devices are in need of periodic, but regular, maintenance. The applicant has agreed to better maintaining these devices in the future. The building addition will require at least the administrative review by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission staff. It is anticipated that no major changes to the storm water retention plan would be required due to the recent (1989) review. The building addition will also require the relocation of a 24 in. storm sewer that runs along the east side of the current building. This area is a current grass area, which will now contain the expanded building, and a new 5 ft. wide concrete sidewalk. The parking protection islands east of the drive lane will need to be relocated further east. B612 curb and gutter is required around all driving and parking areas. 4 -28 -94 -2- Planning Commission Information Sheet BUILDING The exterior treatment of the proposed building addition is to be brick to match the existing shopping center. The existing display windows will be removed and filled in with brick. The entrance to the space on the south side will shift further to the east. An architectural feature, which is enclosed (similar to one for the Circuit City site), will be constructed at the southeast corner of the building. This will be highlighted with dryvit, white in color, and will contain allowable wall signery for the tenant. A new loading dock and trash compactor area will be provided on the north side of the facility. The truck dock will be ramped to an at -grade dock door. The plans show an approximate 3 ft. high steel guard rail protecting the ramp area. We would recommend that this fence /guard rail be increased in height to 6 ft. and be a brick exterior wall to match the existing wall in order to provide some screening from the loading dock and the trash compactor area from adjacent businesses to the north (Group Health and Perkin's). RECOMMENDATION O Altogether, the plans appear to be in order and approval is recommended subject to at least the following conditions : 1. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the is p pp issuance permits. of P P 2. Grading, drainage and utility plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of permits. 3. A new site performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee (in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be submitted prior to the issuance of permits. 4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical equipment shall be appropriately screened from view. 5. The building addition is to be equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system to meet NFPA standards and shall be connected to a central monitoring device in accordance with Chapter 5 of the city ordinances. 6.

The Secretary presented the staff report, used overhead transparencies to show the location and detail (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 94004, attached ), Commissioner Reem asked how the parking stipulations apply to a vacant building, and the Secretary said 5.5 spaces are required per square foot whether the building is empty or full. Commissioner Mickelson asked what dryvit is and the Secretary explained it is a type of treatment similar to stucco, He also asked whether the loading dock is for customers fluid found out it is not. Commissioner Mickelson asked to see the Marquette Partners letter their commitment to maintain the shimming devices and provide sufficient landscaping to meet the point system. 4 -28-94 7 The Secretary explained some shrubs and trees have died from lack of maintenance since 19$9 and he suggested a condition to acknowledge a revised landscaping plan. He said there is no public hearing required but asked if the representatives of the applicant wanted to • address the Commission. Mr. John Johanson, Vice President of Retail with Welsh Companies came forward and introduced Lori Randall with Marquette Partners and Gary Tushie of Tushie, Montgurnory Architects. He explained because the loan was defaulted on the ownership was up in the air for quite a while. He said Prudential Insurance Company of America has the resources to improve the property and use a professional approach in the management of the operation. Chairperson Willson said it is nice to see direct control of the property being taken. He asked what is in the works as far as tenants, Mr. Johannson gave no specifics regarding tenants because that takes time. Commissioner Mickelson said it is good to see this center getting tenants, and he added it has been questioned at every Planning Commission meeting what was coming up for the T. Wrights building, Commissioner Hilstrom asked when construction would begin and Gary Tushie said it would hopefully begin the 16th or 17th of June and run for eight weeks. Commissioner Reem asked when the parking lot will be upgraded and Lori Randall said that should occur in June. All agreed the parking lot is rouE�f and needs repair. Commissioner Mickelson asked if six spots for handicapped parking is enough. The Secretary responded there are six in one area and several more in other areas. Gary Tushie explained the ADA requirements are for 6 handicap spots per 300 parking spots.

INTERIM ORDINANCE FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROTECTING THE PLANNING PROCESS AND THE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE OF CITY RESIDENTS; REGULATING AND RESTRICTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF SECONDHAND GOODS STORES, PAWNSHOPS, CHECK - CASHING ESTABLISHMENTS, AND TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT BUSINESSES WITHIN THE CITY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Background 1.01. The City's zoning ordinance does not contemplate or adequately address the classification of secondhand goods stores, pawnshops, and other similar uses. 1.02. The City's zoning ordinance classifies employment agencies as a permitted use in a C1 Service /Office zoning district. The characteristics of temporary employment agencies differ however, in material respects from p other permitted uses in the C1 zoning district. 1.03. The City's zoning ordinance classifies financial institutions as a permitted use in a C1 Service /Office zoning district. The characteristics of check - cashing establishments differ, however, in material respects from other permitted uses in the C1 zoning district. 1.04. In addition to the proper zoning classification of such uses, there are a number of significant planning and land use issues pertaining to the regulation of such uses, including the following: 1. The particular zoning districts in which such uses should be allowed as either permitted or conditional uses. ORDINANCE NO. 2. The concentration and density of such uses in the City and its neighborhoods. 3. The effect of such uses on other uses in the surrounding area. 1.05. There is a need for a study to be conducted so that the City can adopt a set of comprehensive plans and land use zoning regulations pertaining to: (a) pawnshops, secondhand goods stores, and other similar uses; (b) check - cashing businesses; and (c) temporary employment businesses. Such a study will address the land use and zoning ssues including those referenced g g r f renced above. The study will also address the City's licensing regulations regarding secondhand goods stores and pawnshops and the extent to which the licensing regulations require modifications in order to maintain harmony and consistency between the zoning and licensing regulations. 1.06. There is a need for an interim ordinance to be adopted for the purpose of protecting the planning process and the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City and to ensure that the City and its citizens retain the benefits of the City's comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance until such a study has been completed. There is a need to restrict such uses until such a study has been completed and any modifications to the City's zoning and land use regulations are accomplished. 1.07. The City Council has directed that such a study be undertaken. 1.08. Minnesota Statutes, section 462.355, subd. 4 (Act) permits the adoption of interim zoning ordinances during the planning process. Section 2. Definitions 2.01.

A study is authorized to be conducted by City staff to determine how uses such as: (a) secondhand goods store, pawnshops, and other similar uses; (b) check - cashing businesses; and (c) temporary employment businesses, should be regulated within the City. The scope of the study should include, but is not limited to, the following: a. the particular zoning districts in which such uses should be allowed as either permitted uses or conditional uses; b. the density and concentration of such uses; 0 c. the effect of such uses on other uses in the surrounding area; and d. the need, if any, for modifications to the licensing regulations regarding secondhand goods stores and pawnshops. 3.02. Upon completion of the study, the matter is to be considered by the Planning Commission for its review and recommendation to the City Council. 3.03. A moratorium on the development of: (a) secondhand goods stores, pawnshops, and other similar uses; (b) check- cashing businesses; and (c) temporary employment businesses, is adopted pending completion of the study and the adoption of any amendments to the City's zoning ordinance. No license or building permit may be issued for such uses or for the expansion of any existing use during the moratorium period nor many any rezonings, plattings or replattings, or land divisions or consolidations be granted by the City for such uses during the moratorium period. The moratorium period shall expire on December 1, 1994, or such earlier date as may be further adopted by ordinance. The moratorium period may be extended for a reasonable time by ordinance, as may be necessary to complete the study and adopt any necessary amendments to the City's zoning ordinance. ORDINANCE NO.

CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date 05/09/94 . Agenda Item Number , a n W REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: DISCUSSION ITEM - NORTHWEST AREA IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NOS. 1994 -11 & 1994 -12 (TRAFFIC ISSUES) DEPT. APPROVAL: - - : ?_/� ; � ; KK_�_ — Mark J. Maloney, City Engineer MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION: v No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes Following the public hearing which was held on March 28, 1994, the City Council ® ordered an improvement and approved plans and specifications for the reconstruction of streets and utilities for the Northwest Area, as shown in the attached map. The project is currently out for bidding, storm drainage easements g g are being secured, and coordination with NSP for details regarding street g g lighting is on- going. After the P ublic hearing, he Council also directed staff to meet with residents g, along Perry /71st Avenues and representatives of Willow Lane Elementary School to discuss traffic issues which had come to light during the public hearing. Accordingly, on April 11, staff met with Mr. Rich Heath and Ms. Terry Andrusko, (of 7037 and 7031 Perry Avenue, respectively) to discuss their concerns for pedestrian safety on the road. Mr. Heath described his ideas for reconfiguring Perry /71st Avenue so that it would be impossible for through traffic to use the road. Also discussed were less drastic measures for addressing neighborhood traffic control issues such as speed humps, stop signs and partial closures. Staff indicated to Mr. Heath and Ms. Andrusko at that time, as was stated at the public hearing, that it appeared that closing the roadway via cul -de -sacs or barricades wasn't appropriate given the specific nature of the "problem ", which appeared to be a relatively small number of irresponsible drivers that speed along the roadway. A recent radar survey during a twelve hour week -day period did in fact indicate that the overwhelming majority of traffic (i.e. parents dropping off or picking up their children at the school) on the roadway were traveling at or below 30 mph, however, there were a few drivers on the roadway at various times which were speeding. From the discussion(s) with Mr. Heath and Ms. Andrusko, it was apparent that they have the perception that there is an "excessive" volume of traffic on the roadway, and is increasing at an alarming rate. The current volume of traffic on this roadway averages approximately 850 vehicles per day (vpd); by comparison Dupont Avenue near Evergreen Elementary School carries approx. 1,350 vpd, 65th Avenue near Garden City Elementary School approx. 1,800 vpd, Humboldt Avenue near Earle Brown Elementary School approx. 810 vpd. Considering these similar situations, it appears that the volume of traffic on Perry /71st Avenue isn't unprecedented, and exactly what constitutes "excessive" is subjective. As a ® separate agenda item scheduled for this meeting, the Council will be considering an item for a cooperative project by the City and School District which involves the enhancement of the Willow Lane School /Park playground apparatus. It is staff's opinion that while there shouldn't ever be any intention to unduly increase traffic near schools or parks, there is an obligation of the City to use public right of way to provide reasonable access to these public facilities. Regarding the growth of traffic, the City hasn't been specifically counting traffic on this roadway for a long enough period for an accurate analysis. It is intuitive, however, that deteriorating conditions on Brooklyn Boulevard invariably have contributed to the traffic level on 71st /Perry Avenue in recent years. The School District has indicated in an April 28 meeting with staff and Mr. Heath that cutting the roadway off would create operational problems for their bus routes, and that during inclement weather, parents picking up their kids would be forced to turn around in the parking area, which is also the school bus boarding area. Staff has also been informed that any proposal which appears to increase traffic in the school's parking lot will be rejected by the school district on the basis of pedestrian safety and liability to the District. Because Mr. Heath is generally against the concept of speed humps, the best options remaining for addressing the neighborhood's specific traffic concern at this time appear to be 1) the placement of stop signs at the 70th /Perry Avenue intersection, in an effort to make the roadway a less attractive roadway to speed on, and 2) working with Hennepin County to potentially reconfigure the Brooklyn Blvd. /71st Avenue intersection to partially close 71st Avenue, creating a one -way roadway closed to westbound traffic (please refer to attached map). Staff recommends consideration of these two concepts if further action is determined to be necessary. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION As was noted in the report, the project is currently out for bids, and the plans and specifications previously approved by the Council do not accommodate any reconfiguration of 71st /Perry Avenue. If the Council is satisfied with its previous action, no further action is required at this time. The recommended addition of stop signs at the intersection of 70th and Perry Avenues is minor and would have no effect on the construction contract. Likewise, staff is already committed to working with Hennepin County during the design of the reconstruction of Brooklyn Boulevard scheduled for 1996, and can use that opportunity to implement a partial closure of 71st Avenue. The Council could, by motion, direct staff accordingly. If the Council determines that further analysis of traffic issues on 71st /Perry Avenue is necessary, staff recommends that the street and utility improvements for 71st Avenue and the portion of Perry Avenue north of 70th Avenue be removed from the contract, and postponed to some future year's construction program. While this action would ultimately result in an increased construction cost and create sequencing problems, the remaining (majority) portion of the project area could stay on -track for this year's necessary street, utility and drainage improvements. r r T � Boom ANN MM V, ass me a0 - - - ° o 3Ab 33l 'N •3AV WrVrr? t _ s Co MAJOR AVE.

Splin'ter, City Manager ,J Manager's Review/Recommendation: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached Summary Explanation: (supplemental sheets attached X ) The City Council authorized an internal recruitment process for filling the vacancy of the Director of Public Services. As a part of that process, the position opening was posted internally, and we received three internal applications for the position. All three candidates were interviewed by a panel composed of James Grube, Director of Public Works at the City of St. Louis Park; Sue Fogal, Accounting Technician in the Brooklyn Center Finance Department; and Mark Parish, City Assessor for Brooklyn Center. I served as an observer during the interviews. After reviewing the interview panel recommendation, candidates work history, and education, I am requesting the City Council pass the attached resolution finalizing the appointment, of Diane Spector as Director of Public Services. In addition to the interview board recommendation, her previous supervisor, Sy Knapp, believes she is capable of succeeding in this position. For approximately five and one -half years Ms. Spector has served as the Public Works Coordinator for the City of Brooklyn Center. In this position she has had the primary responsibility for annual budget development for eight divisions of the Public Works Department. She has had the opportunity to work very closely with the Public Works Director on special projects which covered all aspects of the public works division and many aspects of park maintenance and construction. Ms. Spector has earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Public and Environmental Administration and an MS degree in Environmental Administration from the University of Wisconsin -Green Bay. She has also completed much of the course work for a Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. She also, in her freshman year in college, studied civil engineering. Ms. Spector started her career as an intern for the Brown County Treasurer (Wisconsin) followed by approximately five years as a budget planner for the University of Wisconsin Administration Department. Early in her career she served as an Engineering Technician I for the City of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Ms. Spector also serves as Chair for the Institute for Administrative Management for the Minnesota Public Works Association. Ms. Spector has spent approximately the last five years as Public Works Coordinator for the City of Brooklyn Center. I believe Diane Spector is uniquely qualified to assume the position of Director of Public Services for Brooklyn Center based on our personal observations of her performance as Public Works Coordinator and her education background and previous experience. is Recommended City Council Action: The City Manager recommends the City Council's favorable consideration of the attached resolution finalizing the appointment of Diane Spector as Director of Public Services for the City of Brooklyn Center. 1abl Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION FINALIZING THE CITY MANAGER'S APPOINTMENT OF A DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICES WHEREAS, on April 25, 1994, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 94 -85 which reorganized the City's administrative structure and created a Department of Public Services, including the position of Director of Public Services; and WHEREAS, the City Manager has selected Diane Spector as the Director of Public Services; and WHEREAS, Section 6.02, Subdivision 3(a), of the Brooklyn Center City Charter requires the City Council to finalize this appointment by a majority vote of the Council before the appointment becomes official. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center that the City Manager's appointment of Diane Spector as Director of Public Services is hereby finalized effective immediately. Date Todd Paulson, Mayor ATTEST: Deputy Clerk The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: and the following voted against the same: whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. CITY OF BROOKLYN CEN'T'ER Council Meeting Date .S 7 /f� Agenda Item Numbe REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Administrative Hearing for a Water & Sewer Utility Bill. DEPT. APPROVAL: Charles Hansen, Finance Director MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMAMNDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUNS ARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached ) Robyn Wright, the owner of a house at 6325 France Avenue North, has requested an administrative hearing before the City Council regarding the utility bill for this house. The background of the case is that the house was previously owned by Ms. Wright's mother, who passed away about two years ago. It apparently took about six months to probate the estate, and the house was for sale from that time until recently. Ms. Wright stated in one of her last letters that it has now sold. Ms. Wright's contention has been that since the house is vacant, it isn't using and shouldn't pay for sanitary sewer, storm sewer, or recycling charges. She doesn't mind paying for water because some is used to maintain the house and it needs to be on to make the house presentable to potential buyers. She also claims that various City staff members have told her that charges for services other than water can be shut off and that she is eligible for a rebate of past charges. I have investigated this claim to the extent that I was able to identify the people involved and they contradict Ms. Wright's claim. The ones who recall talking to Ms. Wright state that they told her that she had the option of having all services, including water, shut off but this would make the house uninhabitable. Each fall, the staff proposes to the City Council a schedule of utility rates. These schedules were most recently considered and approved by the City Council on October 12, 1993 and adopted by Resolutions 93 -176 through 93 -179. In developing the schedules, the staff didn't propose any reduction for vacant houses because we don't want to do anything to encourage vacant housing in the city. The staff considers itself to be legally bound by the rate schedules, once they are adopted by the City Council. On that basis we have refused Ms. Wright's request for reduced rates and rebates. If an exception is to be made, it will have to be the City Council's decision. If the City Council decides to grant this request, other persons may be motivated to request reductions. The staff will also refuse these if there is no basis for them in the rate schedules. Those people may also end up appearing before the City Council. The City Council should also be aware that this isn't the only request for reduced utility rates. Currently, the only reduced rate in our schedule is for sanitary sewer for senior citizens. This rate was developed on evidence that the average senior used less water than average, and so discharges less into the sewer system. We have also received requests for reduced rates for persons with disabilities. I anticipate that if the subject is opened to discussion, there will be a request for reduced rates for persons with low incomes. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION Discussion of the issue following Ms. Wright's appearance. CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Agenda Item Number i3 0- REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION APPROVING THE SALE OF TAX FORFEITED PARCELS AT AUCTION TO ADJACENT OWNERS DEPT. APPROVAL: I! , Mark P. Parish, City Assessor MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION: �17 No comments to supplement this report Co ents below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached ) O quested Action: Approve and authorize the sale by Auction to adjacent owners of three parcels (map, parcel listing, and proposed resolution attached) which are in tax forfeiture. Background: As Hennepin County processes parcels which are in tax forfeiture, the City is asked to consider the disposition of the parcels (1) by sale at public auction, (2) by sale to adjacent property owners, or (3) by requesting a conveyance to the City for public use. If the City does not take action, Hennepin County assumes the sale at public auction is approved pursuant to M.S. 282.01, Subd. 1. The proposed resolution lists three parcels that have been forfeited due to property tax delinquencies. Parcel 1 is a residential lot located at 3113 68th Avenue North and is deemed unbuildable due to poor soil i conditions. Parcel 2 is an outlot located behind or to the east f 0 5000 5006 and 5024 0 France Avenue North and is not buildable due to size. Parcel 3 is located behind, or to the south of 2117 to 2301 Ericon (7 lots) and 5501 Oliver Avenue North. This parcel is also unbuildable due to size and it is recommended for sale to owners located adjacent on the north side. All City departments have been surveyed relative to the disposition of these lots. There was no public use identified. If Hennepin County rejects the sale of Parcel 1 to adjacent owners, we strongly recommend full 46 closure of the soil conditions to all interested parties. i ,COMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION• Therefore, it is recommended that the Council approve and authorize the sale of these parcels at auction to adjacent owners by giving favorable consideration to the proposed resolution. Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION TO APPROVE SALE OF CERTAIN TAX FORFEITED LAND PARCELS AT AUCTION TO ADJACENT OWNERS WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center has received from the County of Hennepin a list of lands in Brooklyn Center which became the property of the State of Minnesota, for nonpayment of real estate taxes; WHEREAS, each parcel of land described in said list has heretofore been classified by the Board of Commissioners of Hennepin County, Minnesota, as Non - Conservation land and the sale thereof has heretofore been authorized by said Board of Commissioners; and WHEREAS, the City has considered each of the three parcels and finds that each is unbuildable and should be sold to adjacent owners and combined with those parcels. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, acting pursuant to Minnesota Statute 282.01, affirms the listing of said parcels as Non - Conservation land and approves the sale of the same at auction to adjacent owners and has no knowledge of wells on said parcels, approves and certifies same with respect to the following parcels: Property Identification No Description 34- 119 -21 -11 -0076 Lot 5, Block 3, Elsen's City View 2nd Addition 10- 118 -21 -13 -0058 Outlot 2, Twin Lake Woods 2nd Addition 02- 118 -21 -42 -0114 That part of Lot 25 lying within NW 1/4 of SE 1/4 and Lying W of W Line of Oliver Avenue North, Auditor's Subdivision No. 218, Hennepin County, Minn.

The land was classified as non - conservation land on Non - Conservation Classification List 805 -NC by Resolution No. 94 -2 -120 of the Board of Hennepin County Commissioners, adopted 2- 28 -94, a copy of which is enclosed. The described parcels were declared forfeited to the state of Minnesota by the Hennepin county auditor pursuant to Minnesota statutes providing for the forfeiture of real property for non - payment of taxes. Pursuant to M.S. 282.01 we request that your city council either approve the arcel(s) for public P P auction, auction to adjacent owners if M.S. 282.01, subd. 7a is applicable(unbuildable lots), or request a conveyance to your governmental subdivision for public use. The land may be withheld from auction for one year by filing a written application with the County Board through this department. Please be advised that the sale of the lands shall be deemed to be approved pursuant to M.S. 282.01, Subd. 1, if the city council fails to respond to this classification notice within ninety(90) days. The county requires that a certified copy of the resolution of the governing body of the governmental subdivision be submitted to authorize any requested action. If you request conveyance to your governmental subdivision, please complete and submit the form "Applicat.on by a Governmental Subdivision for Conveyance of Tax Forfeited Land" for each parcel of land requested. Conveyance to governmental subdivisions for public purposes is subject to the recommendation of the County Board, except as provided in M.S. 282.01, Subd. 1b (targeted neighborhood lands). The county requires that a specific public purpose be identified in the request; "public purposes" or "other public purposes" is not acceptable. We request that the governing body adopt language in its resolution affirming the non - conservation classification status tus and recommending disposition of h lands listed n g p the a ds sted o List 805 NC. HENNEPIN COUNTY an equal opportunity employer Non - Conservation List 805 -NC letter, Page 2 We also request that the resolution certify that none of the parcels recommended for public or adjacent owner auction need be withheld from sale pursuant to M.S. 85.012 (lands located within the boundaries of a state park), M.S. 92.461 (lands containing substantial deposits of peat), M.S. 282.01, Subd. 8 (minerals and mining permits), M.S. 282.018, Subd. 1 (waterfront lands bordering meandered lakes, public waters and watercourses), or M.S. 282.018, Subd. 2 (non- forested marginal lands or wetlands). Special assessments levied after the forfeiture must be certified to the county so that those special assessments may be included in the minimum purchase price. We ask your assistance in determining if any parcels on List 805 -NC have wells. If any of the parcels on the list have wells, please request a Well Disclosure Certificate from this department. Please provide aavailable information about parcels such as zoning, known soil conditions, known environmental contamination, or special municipal restrictions. Such information may assist the county in managing and marketing the properties in order to facilitate return to the tax productive status. Finally, please note that under the county reorganization the Department of Property Tax and Public Records was abolished. Our work group is part of the Taxpayer Services Division in the General Services Department. Should you have any questions, or require further assistance, please contact forfeited land staff at 348 -7839. Gordy Ramm, Gary Hoecherl, Terry Schuhler, and Rory Lucas may assist you.

CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date 05 /09 /94 Agenda Item Number 1 3 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1994 -19, SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY OVERLAY, FREEWAY BOULEVARD TO 69TH AVENUE NORTH, RECEIVING ENGINEER'S FEASIBILITY REPORT, AND CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING DEPT. APPROVAL: Mark J. Maloney, Engineer MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION : J No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes . The Capital Improvement Program for 1994 includes the resurfacing of Shingle Creek Parkway, from Freeway Boulevard to the limits of the recent 69th Avenue North project. A location map of the proposed project area is provided for reference. This proposed project will consist of milling (grinding) off the top 1 -1/2 inches of bituminous and repaving along with a minor amount of utility repair. Please refer to the attached Engineer's feasibility report for details of the proposed improvements. Because this segment of Shingle Creek Parkway is part of Brooklyn Center's Municipal State Aid system, the majority of the project costs would be eligible for funding from the City's Regular Municipal State Aid account. The water main, sanitary sewer and storm drainage costs are proposed to be funded by their respective accounts. It is also proposed to specially assess the adjacent benefitting properties for the roadway improvements, with the same policy and methodology as was used for the 1990 overlay project on Humboldt Avenue from Freeway Boulevard to 69th Avenue North. The attached resolution calls for a public hearing in compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, and schedules that hearing for 7:30 PM, June 13, 1994. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION A resolution which establishes the project, receives the Engineer's report and calls for a public hearing is attached for consideration.

This report comprehends the improvements included in the Capital Improvement Program for implementation in 1994. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS This segment of Shingle Creek Parkway was originally constructed in stages between the years 1972 through 1980. The roadway is 54' wide, originally built to a design standard appropriate for the anticipated land uses — commercial and industrial. This segment of Shingle Creek Parkway is part of the City's Municipal State Aid system, and is currently carrying approximately 13,220 vehicles per day. It is now proposed to improve this segment of Shingle Creek Parkway by milling and resurfacing with a 1- 1/2 inch thick bituminous overlay, perform full -depth crack repairs, replacing fatigued curb and median sections, minor storm drainage improvements, adjusting manholes and catch basins and the application of permanent (3 -4 year) preformed pavement markings (i.e. StaMark). No sidewalk or trail improvements are under consideration as there are already concrete sidewalks on both sides of the street. This pavement rehabilitation strategy is the most appropriate (and timely) given the pavement age and the increasing maintenance effort. �c iwALL-AmsoaCRY ESTIMATED COSTS AND FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS The total estimated project cost for the roadway and utility improvements for this segment of Shingle Creek Parkway is $500,050. Following is a summary of the estimated costs and revenues for the proposed project: ESTIMATED COSTS Estimated Construction Cost (incl. 15 % cont.) $442,520.00 Engineering, Administration and Legal (13 %) $57,530.00 TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST $500,050.00 Less Sanitary Sewer Costs $23,000.00 Less Water Main Costs $2,950.00 Less Storm Drainage Cost $41,580.00 ASSESSABLE PROJECT COST $432,520.00 Estimated City Share (33%) $144,120.00 Estimated Benefitting Properties Share (67%) $288,400.00 ($288,350.00/1,917,526 sq. ft.) Proposed Unit Assessment: $0.1504/sq. ft. ESTIMATED REVENUES Special Assessments $288,400.00 Regular Municipal State Aid $390,000.00 Local Municipal State Aid ($245,880.00) Water Utility $2,950.00 Sanitary Sewer Utilities $23,000.00 Storm Drainage Utilities $41,580.00 TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT $500,050.00 REVENUE The roadway resurfacing is proposed to conform to the requirements of the MnDOT State Aid Division, accordingly, a portion of the project costs would be funded by the City's Regular State Aid account. Special assessments are proposed for the adjacent benefitting properties, similar to the recent overlay project on Humboldt Avenue, from 65th to 69th Avenue North. Repairs of and /or improvements to the sanitary sewer, water main and storm sewer would be funded by their respective Utility Funds. Please refer to Figures 1 and 2 for proposed special assessments. The improvements described herein are feasible under the conditions outlined and at the costs estimated. C Mark J. Maloney, P.E. CITY ENGINEER ( 1 IRS o ► -- -- L 1 6C ti �m `o ® �4' PAR AY CIR ` H.

CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date 05/09/94 Agenda Item Numbe REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BID AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR 1994 SEALCOATING PROJECT, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1994 -21, CONTRACT 1994 -D DEPT. APPROVAL• M k Malo ey Ci Engineer MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOM ENDATIO Z, No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Bids for the 1994 Sealcoating Project, Improvement Project No. 1994 -21, Contract 1994 -D, were received on May 4, 1994. The bidding results are tabulated as follows: Bidder Option A Option B Option C Option D Allied Blacktop Co. $113,293.68 $103,549.68 $119,210.72 $97,956.44 Asphalt Surface Tech. $115,177.20 $105,172.20 $125,904.87 $98,726.08 The specifications for this work required bids to be submitted on the basis of different material sizes and types, similar to previous years. For the information of the Council, the awards in recent years have been based on the selection of either Option A or Option B, which recognize the use of smaller sized aggregate material on residential streets and larger material on the higher traffic or State Aid streets. Based on analysis of the bids submitted, and the wearing characteristics inherent to the specified materials, staff is recommending acceptance of the low bid for Option A, which specifies the use of smaller trap rock material for residential streets and larger trap rock material for higher traffic streets. Allied Blacktop Co. of Maple Grove, MN, the low bidder for Option A has extensive sealcoating experience in the Metro area and is regarded as having the most up- to -date equipment available for this type of work. In addition, Allied has previously completed projects of this type for the City; most recently last year. The low bid for Option A, $113,293.68, compares favorably to the 1994 General • Fund budget allocation of $140,000. Accordingly, staff recommends acceptance of the low bid for Option A and award of the contract to Allied Blacktop Co. of Maple Grove, MN. Note: In the past, the City's sealcoating program was geographic in nature; that is, any year's program would concentrate in a specific area. In this way, all streets under our jurisdiction could expect to be sealcoated once every 7 or 8 years, whether they actually benefitted from the application of a sealcoat at that time or not. We expect that by integrating the output from our recently established Pavement Management Program, the determination of next year's (and subsequent years') sealcoating area will be based on an annual, street -by- street analysis of the cost effectiveness of spending street maintenance dollars on the various rehabilitation techniques (sealcoating, patching, crack filling, overlays, reconstruction, etc.). The sealcoating programs of the future will be less geographic in nature, and will cause some streets to be skipped over as we concentrate on the streets in the City that will most benefit from sealcoat application for that given year. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION A resolution which accepts the low bid and awards a contract to Allied Blacktop Co., of Maple Grove, MN, is attached for consideration. • /.3 Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BID AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR 1994 SEALCOATING PROJECT, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1994 -21, CONTRACT 1994 -D WHEREAS, pursuant to an advertisement for bids for Improvement Project No. 1994 -21, bids were received, opened, and tabulated by the City Engineer, on the 4th day of May, 1994.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that: 1. Option A is selected because it provides the most desirable combination of materials at a competitive price. 2. The Mayor and City Manager are hereby authorized and directed to enter into a contract for Option A in the amount of $113,293.68, with Allied Blacktop Co., of Maple Grove, Minnesota in the name of the City of Brooklyn Center, for Improvement Project No. 1994 -21 according to the plans and specifications approved by the City Council and on file in the office of the Deputy City Clerk. 3.

CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date 05/09/9 Agenda Item Number / a� REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: FINAL PLAT APPROVAL - HOLTS TWIN LAKE ESTATES DEPT. APP OV M rk J. alone , ity Engineer * ` MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMIVIENDATION. -` No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes On March 8, 1993, the City Council approved Planning Commission Application No. 93001, which involved preliminary platting on behalf of Mardelle F. Holt. The • proposed platting for HOLTS TWIN LAKE ESTATES involves the subdivision of approximately 33,210 sq. ft. of property into two residential properties. Please refer to attached drawings for location and plat detail. Because the two proposed residential lots may be legally developed as duplex units, special attention is drawn to the sewer and water services. It will be necessary for the applicant to enter into a subdivision agreement with the City which will detail the responsibilities for the costs of providing adequate public utilities to the newly created residential lots. Such an agreement is currently being developed. The attached memorandum details the conditions remaining for the release of the final plat. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION The final plat of HOLTS TWIN LAKE ESTATES is recommended for approval, subject to the conditions as stated in the attached memorandum. • MEMORANDUM DATE: May 4, 1994 TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager FROM: Mark J. Maloney, City Engineer SUBJ: Proposed Final Plat - HOLTS TWIN LAKE ESTATES City Council approval of the preliminary plat HOLTS TWIN LAKE ESTATES was contingent upon the following conditions: 1. The final plat is subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. 2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances, including the need for a subdivision agreement regarding additional costs for utility service lines and hookups. 3. The applicant shall apply for and receive the necessary approvals from the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission prior to final plat approval by the City Council. 4. The property owner, not the City, will be responsible for building and paying for any fencing between the property and the park. I have reviewed the final plat for HOLTS TWIN LAKE ESTATES and found it in conformance with the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances, and city staff are currently developing the above referenced subdivision agreement. The Shingle Creek Watershed has performed an administrative review and found no action to be required. Accordingly, I recommend final plat approval (and subsequent release). ark J. 1VIa y, P.E.
