The rec r of Planning & Inspection presented and reviewed for Council members
pages 2 through 6 of the July 14, 1983 Planning Commission meeting minutes. He
noted that the applicant was requesting site and building plan approval for an 11
unit apartment building to be contructed on an irregularly shaped lot which would
require a variance from set back requirements of the City ordinance.
Following the Planning Director's presentation, Councilmember Hawes inquired as to
the potential number of townhouses that could be built on the site. The Director of
Planning & Inspection stated that the site could accommodate five or six townhouses.
The City Attorney informed the Council that the law on substandard lots allowed the
Council to reduce standards when the use of the land can't be realized. He briefly
reviewed the history of the lot noting the taking of land from the site for Bass Lake
Road. He noted that the question before the Council is a classic case for a variance
and how much of a variance should be allowed. He noted that the Council does not
have to provide maximum density, and the Council would not be establishing a
7 -25 -83 -6-
precedent. He concluded that the Council has a great deal of latitude in their
determinations.
RECESS
She Brooklyn Center City Council recessed at 9:10 p.m. and reconvened at 9:20 p.m.
CONTINUATION OF PIMITIING COTIIISSIOrl NOS. 83033 AND 83034
ayo uist opene the meeting - I e purpose off`a pudic hearing on Planning
Commission Applicaton Nos. 83033 and 83034. Mayor Nyquist recognized Evelyn
Schmidt who introduced herself as a realtor handling the property. She spoke in
support of the application. Councilmember Scott inquired of Ms. Schmidt if she
could recall how much land had been taken from the site for the roadway. Ms. Schmidt
could not recall.
The City Manager noted that the City Engineer had checked City records during
recess, and it appeared that 7' had been taken from the site.
Mayor Nyquist then recognized Kathy Moore, attorney for the owners of Twin hake
North Apartments. Ms. Moore spoke in opposition to the application indicating that
she feels the standards for our variance had not been met. She further stated that
she did not feel that the site was compatible to the surrounding area without the
Landscaping. She also added that there was not room for children to play, and that
there were other alternative development potentials. She stated that the rear of
the building does not lend itself to firefighting with only a 10' setback. She also
indicated their concern because of the proximity of the Twin hake North garages at
the rear setback.
Council-member Theis inquired of Ms. Moore whether the land had been offered for sale
to Twin Lake North. Ms. Moore indicated that sometime ago, it had been, but that she
had not been personally involved in those negotiations. She also added that Twin
Lake North had been approached about a joint driveway and that Twin hake North had
not refused the proposal. Pis. Moore then submitted a petition to the Council with
signatures objecting to the proposed variance. Mayor Nyquist requested that
petitions be entered into the record. The concern was raised relative to children
living in the units, and the lack of ample playground space for them.
Councilmember Lhotka inquired if the proposed rental units would be for adults only.
The architect, Mr. Harry Gerrisch for Hilltop Builders, replied that it was not an
adults only building, and pointed out that vacant spaces were available for children
to play in. Mr. Dahly Archibald, a Twin Lake North resident, objected to the
application for a variance. Evelyn Schmidt, a realtor, indicated that she did not
believe that people with children would locate in this particular building because
of the high rents and because of the lack of playground space.
Following the comments from those in attendance, Mayor Nyquist entertained a motion
to close the public hearing. There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded
by Councilmember Scott to close the public hearing on Planning Commission
Application Nos. 83033 and 83034. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers
hhotka, Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting against: none. The motion passed
unanimously.
Councilmember, Theis indicated he felt that the applicant should try to obtain a
joint access and that he found fault with the proposed driveway. Councilmember
Lhotka indicated that he had a problem with granting such a large variance to a
developer who is trying to maximize development on the site. He indicated that the
project was just too big for the site.

taste. He stated that the signing that would be allowed under the ordinance was not
visible to people from the south, and that such signing was necessary for his
business.

DISCUSSION ITB 1S
CONTII PLAN FOR WATER USE RESTRICTIONS
The City Engineer reviewed a contingent plan for restricted water use. He briefly
reviewed the approach of using an odd /even day approach for watering, noting that
the plan before the Council is just a tentative plan. Councilmember Lhotka inquired
as to how the City intended to notify residents in case it is necessary to implement
the plan. The City N'Ianager indicated that the City would use television to inform
the residents of Brooklyn Center.
Councilmember Theis noted that on July 14 there was less than a half million gallons
left in the City's water tank. He also noted that the City had a 15 million gallon`
capacity per day, and that only slightly more than 12 million gallons of water had
been used. He wondered where the other 3 million gallons had gone to. The City
Engineer replied that the capacity to pump water is dependent upon a place to pump
the water to. He noted that the tanks were full in the morning and that when peak
demand started in the afternoon, the City can pump at a rate of 625,000 gallons per
hour, and that the demand was 1 million gallons per hour.
Discussion then ensued about potential future alternatives available to the City
upon completion of the well now being developed by the City.
AGREEMENT WITH HOWE, INC.
Mayor P�yquist noted that Tom Howe had been present earlier, and that he had informed
Tom Howe that his presence would not be necessary. The City Attorney then reviewed
the agreement between the City and Howe, Inc., and noted that the addition of bagging
equipment would not constitute an expansion of the business. General discussion
then ensued, and Councilmember Lhotka inquired if each additional addition didn't
eventually become an expansion of the business. The City Attorney ensured the
Council that it was not the case.
There was a motion by Councilmember I,hotka and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
approve the agreement acknowledging that the expansion of the building on Howe, Inc.
•
