REQUESTING SITE AND BUILDING PLAN AND SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPROVAL TO CONSTRUCT A CHURCH WITH SEATING CAPACITY OF 800 AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF I -94 AND BROOKLYN BOULEVARD The City Manager stated this item was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission at its October 10, 1985 meeting. The Director of Planning & Inspection referred the Council to pages one through three of the October 10, 1985 Planning Commission meeting minutes and proceeded to review the request submitted by Foundation Stone Ministries, Inc. He noted the Planning Commission recommended approval of the application subject to 18 conditions. He stated a public hearing has been scheduled for this evening, notices have been sent, and representatives of the applicant are present at this evening's meeting. Councilmember Lhotka asked for an explanation of the catch basins, and the Director of Planning & Inspection reviewed the plan. Councilmember Lhotka inquired about the status of the right -of -away of the property leading to Indiana Avenue North and asked that the City review the possibility of vacating the property in order to avoid access onto 66th and Indiana Avenues North. The City Manager said staff will do so. Councilmexnber Scott expressed concern over the lack of landscaping and requested that the application include additional landscaping. Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on Application No. 85027. He recognized the resident owning property on one of the lots south of the site who expressed concern for flooding in the area. The City Manager reviewed the plan for the storm catch basins. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Mark Anderson, who identified himself as pastor of the Foundation Stone Ministries Church. He confirmed that catch basins will be on the property, and pointed out that Foundation Stone Ministries, Inc. has cooperated with residents in the area to adjust their plans to satisfy the residents' requests. Mayor Nyquist noted out that traffic studies show that a car travels every three seconds on Brooklyn Boulevard around noon on Sundays, and he asked when the church plans to hold its services. Mr. Anderson noted that two services are scheduled, one at 8:30 a.m. and the other at 11:00 a.m. on Sundays. He stated that approximately two /thirds of the congregation attends the 8:30 a.m. service, while the rest of the congregation attends the 11:00 a.m. service. Councilmember Scott asked how it would be possible to assure that construction vehicles access the property by Brooklyn Boulevard only and not by the Indiana Avenue North area. The City Manager stated adequate barriers will be in place, and if reports are received from residents regarding any related problems, a better f barrier will be installed. Councilmember Hawes expressed concern for the number of vehicles that will exit the property onto southbound Brooklyn Boulevard following a service, particularly if the vehicles make a U -turn at 65th Avenue and Brooklyn Boulevard. The City Manager noted that proper signage will be in place and enforced. Councilmember Hawes inquired about the one hundred year flood stage, and the Director of Public Works noted that there is concern for this only in the flood plain area, and the applicant's property is not in this area. 10 -21 -85 -5- The Director of Public Works noted the church parking lot will hold the storm water pond. A resident asked where church parishioners will park if the parking lot is filled with water. The City Manager stated they will not be able to park in the parking lot, but the situation would clear up within a short period of time. The Director of Public Works noted that calculations indicate for a heavy run -off, once in five years water will accumulate to a depth of six inches for a period of 15 minutes. He noted the low point will be towards the south side of the site, and the water will drain into the storm sewer at 65th Avenue North. The Public Works Director said additional relief will be available from the ditch on the south side of I-694 as it is lower than the property. A resident inquired if any problems would arise from the melting of a heavy snow fall. The Director of Public Works noted that snowfall is not unusually close to the peak drainage and, therefore, few problems will be associated with this. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Bill Williams, 4018 65th Avenue North, who expressed concern over the status of the covenants on the two lots south of the applicant's property if the applicant would purchase these two lots. The Director of Planning & Inspection noted that he has received conflicting opinions on the covenants, which limit development on the sites to single family residences. Mr. Williams asked if the City is encouraging the applicant to purchase the lots south of the property, at I -694 and Brooklyn Boulevard, and the Director of Planning & Inspection noted that the City has encouraged anyone who wants to develop on the property to also acquire lots south of the property to improve access to the site. To date, the problems have been related to the covenants. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Chuck Gustafson, 3801 66th Avenue North, who expressed concern over not being able to turn out of France Avenue North onto southbound Brooklyn Boulevard if the median on Brooklyn Boulevard is extended. The City Manager noted that eventually this is a possibility, as the intention is to extend the median all the way to 65th Avenue North. Another resident asked for clarification of the possible access to the property from the west side. The City Manager noted that staff has been directed to review the possibility of vacating the right -of -way. The resident asked what would stop the City from reopening the access if increased traffic on Brooklyn Boulevard becomes a problem, and requested assurances that this would not be done. The City Manager stated the City cannot give a 100% guarantee because any action the City Council takes may also be changed at some future date.
