APPROVAL: 1 � SY APP DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes On September 25 1989 the City Council gave tentative approval to a 1990 P � y g PP improvement program which included the upgrading of the Freeway Boulevard /65th Avenue /66th Avenue roadway between Shingle Creek and T.H. 252, and the • resurfacing of Humboldt Avenue North. In the attached feasibility report, City Engineer Mark Maloney details the proposed improvements which include the following major components. • improved geometric designs at the intersections of Freeway Blvd /65th Avenue with Shingle Creek Parkway and with Humboldt Avenue • a five -lane roadway with a two- way - left -turn center lane between Shingle Creek Parkway and Humboldt Avenue • a bituminous overlay of existing 65th Avenue /66th Avenue North, easterly from the improved Humboldt Avenue intersection to Camden Avenue - and establishing that roadway as a three -lane roadway with a two - way- left -turn center lane. The existing roadway was originally designed for use as two traffic lanes and two parking lanes. It is noted that, under Municipal State Aid rules, the current traffic volumes would normally require construction of a four -lane (for traffic) street. However, we have received preliminary state aid approval for the three -lane roadway • installation of a permanent traffic signal system at the intersection of Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard • traffic signal system changes as needed to accommodate the revised intersection geometrics at the intersection of Freeway Boulevard/ • 65th Avenue with Humboldt Avenue o installation of a traffic signal system at the intersection of 65th • Avenue with Dupont Avenue o construction of a pedestrian/bicycle trailway on the north side of Freeway Boulevard /65th Avenue /66th Avenue from Shingle Creek to T.H. 252 o bituminous overlay of Humboldt Avenue from 65th to 69th Avenue o widening of the existing sidewalk on the east side of Humboldt Avenue, adjacent to the Brooklyn Center High School It is recommended that the Council accept the City Engineer's report and call for a public hearing to be held on April 9, 1990. If the attached resolution is adopted, notices of the hearing will be sent to all property owners adjacent to the proposed improvements - including the single - family property owners who are not proposed to be assessed for these improvements. City Council Action Required Adoption of the resolution. • U Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO.

CITY 6301 SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY :BFROO T v L 1 N BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA 55430 TELEPHONE 561 -5440 C ENTER EMERGENCY- POLICE - FIRE 911 ENGINEERS REPORT Freeway Boulevard /65th Ave. No. /66th Ave. No. and Humboldt Ave. No. Improvement Project No.s 1988 -25, 89 -26, 89 -27, 90 -11, 90 -12 PROJECT DESCRIPTION : Street Reconstruction and widening, including signals, utility work and sidewalk /trail construction PROJECT LOCATION : Freeway Boulevard /65th Ave. No. /66th Ave. No., between Shingle Creek and Camden Ave. No.; and Humboldt Ave. No., between 65th Ave. No. and 69th Ave. No. See Figure 1 for Project Location I. DISC - DISCUSSION FREEWAY BOULEVARD The proposed project begins at the bridge over Shingle Creek, proceeds easterly through the intersection at Shingle Creek Parkway and continues to Humboldt Avenue North. The existing pavement, now in excess of 20 years old, varies from 2 lanes west of Shingle Creek Parkway to 4 lanes from Freeway Boulevard to Humboldt Avenue. This pavement now carries approximately 12,500 vehicles per day. That is more than double the volume of traffic that it was originally designed for. Flat grades and inadequate drainage have also contributed to the degradation of the pavement. Recent inspection of the in place sewer line has revealed isolated areas of broken pipe and trench /bedding induced failures. The intersection with Shingle Creek Parkway is currently signalized with a "temporary" system. On November 7, 1988, the City Council established Improvement Project No. 1988 -25 relating to the installation of a new, permanent signal system at the intersection. Staff recommends that this work be considered as a part of the improvements proposed in this report. It is also recommended that a separate right -turn lane be constructed for the northbound traffic on Shingle Creek Parkway. Xi V It is recommended that the section of Freeway Boulevard between Shingle Creek Parkway and Humboldt Avenue be widened to five lanes, with the fifth (middle) lane functioning as a two - way- left -turn lane. This recommendation is based on the following considerations: • Heavy turning volumes at the Shingle Creek Parkway and Humboldt Avenue intersections require the development of dedicated left turn lanes to properly accommodate these movements. • Between Shingle Creek Parkway and Humboldt Avenue, many left turns are made - into the secondary streets and into industrial /commercial driveways. Development of a two - way - left -turn lane will provide a safer "refuge" for vehicles waiting to make their turns and will substantially reduce the "friction" which now occurs through this area. • The costs for upgrading this entire section to g g provide a continuous two - way- turn -lane are only slightly higher than the costs of constructing turn lanes only at the two major intersections. The concept of a continuous turn lane has been successfully implemented on a number of projects in the Twin Cities area, most notably Lexington Avenue in St. Paul and Roseville. The five lane design for Freeway Boulevard has received preliminary approval from MNDOT's Office of State Aid. West of Shingle Creek Parkway, it is proposed to reconstruct the approach to this intersection to accommodate the revised geometry at the intersection (see Exhibits 5 and 6 for geometrics at the Shingle Creek Parkway intersection and at the Humboldt Avenue intersection). Increasing the roadway to 5 lanes will involve removal of the concrete curb, milling the existing pavement, constructing new curb and placing a bituminous overlay. The grade of the road will be revised to provide positive drainage and minor storm sewer reconstruction will be required. As previously mentioned, a right -turn lane is proposed for northbound Shingle Creek Parkway. This construction requires right -of -way from the adjacent property occupied by EconoLodge. The proposed widening adjacent to Duke's Amoco, at the Humboldt Ave. No. intersection, will require relocation of existing monitoring wells. These monitoring wells were 2 previously installed to track the extent of groundwater contamination associated with the on -site fuel tanks. The relocation of the wells will be performed by others at no cost to the City, according to Delta Environmental Consultants, Inc. The well relocation will be in accordance with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's requirements, if applicable, and outside of any City contract. The reconstruction of Freeway Boulevard (and 65th /66th Avenues No.) provides an excellent opportunity to extend the City's pedestrian and bicycle trail system. Sidewalk /trail improvements proposed at this time consist of widening the existing 5 foot wide concrete walk on the north side of Freeway Boulevard /65th /66th Avenues No. to 10 feet. This combination bike /pedestrian trail will connect the existing trail system located adjacent to Shingle Creek with the proposed system at T.H. 252, which will be constructed concurrent with West River Road. This is in accordance with the City's "Draft Comprehensive Sidewalk /Trail Plan," which is included with this report. Utility improvements considered at this time are primarily spot repairs of the sanitary sewer and hydrant relocations due to road widening. A review of the current and potential sewage flows for the area indicates adequate capacity, and therefore, no upgrade is recommended at this time. FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS - FREEWAY BOULEVARD With the exception of the utility work, the proposed improvements for Freeway Boulevard are expected to be eligible for reimbursement from the City's regular Municipal State Aid Street Fund Account. Repair of the sanitary sewer and the water main relocation would be paid for by the Brooklyn Center Public Utility Fund. It is established City policy to specially assess street improvement costs in commercial /industrial areas. It is recommended that the street improvement costs for this project be assessed to the adjacent properties, based on two levels of benefit. Zone A is comprehended as that portion of property abutting and within 200 feet of Freeway Boulevard, while Zone B is that benefitted property lying more than 200 feet from Freeway Boulevard. This assessment philosophy is consistent with the recent improvements relating to Logan Ave. No.(88 -04) and Xerxes Ave. No.(82 -02 and 85 -09). It is proposed to "credit" the assessed properties approximately one -third of the street improvement costs. The actual amount of the proposed levy then represents 670 of the "Assessable Project Cost ", as shown in the Funding Summary. For this project, 67% of the 3 proposed levy is assigned to Zone A, with the remainder to Zone B. FUNDING SUMMARY FREEWAY BOULEVARD Estimated Construction Cost (inc. 15% contingency) $ 506,800 Right -of -way Acquisition $ 18,000 Engineering (8 %) 40,544 Administration (1 %) 5,068 Legal (1 %) 5,068 Interest (10 %) 50,680 TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST $ 626,160 less sewer repair ( -) 65,520 less signal work (@ SCP) (- )110,400 ASSESSABLE PROJECT COST $ 450,240 Estimated City Cost (33 %) $ 148,580 Estimated Assessable Cost (67 %) 301,660 (Zone A - $ 202,100/806,027 sq.ft.) (Zone B - $ 99,560/1,536,750 sq.ft.) Proposed Unit Assessments Zone A = $ 0.2507 /sq.ft. Zone B = $ 0.0648 /sq.ft. See Figure 2 for Freeway Blvd. Assessment Area II. _DISCUSSION - 65TH AVENUE /66TH AVENUE NORTH • This portion of the project extends from Humboldt Ave. No. easterly through the Dupont Ave No. intersection and ends just east of Camden Ave. No. (As part of the TH 252 improvements, MnDOT reconstructed the portion of 65th /66th Ave. No. which lies east of Camden Ave. No.) 65th Avenue /66th Avenue North is currently configured as a 44 foot -wide, 2 lane bituminous roadway. This road is nearly 20 years old and is carrying 8,200 vehicles per day - nearly double the volume that it was designed for. As discovered in the Freeway Boulevard area, the existing sanitary sewer line is in need of repair. Also, the corrosive soils present in the area have contributed to recent water main failures. A study of the intersection of 65th Ave. No. with Dupont Ave. No. has been recently completed by SEH, Inc. and submitted to MnDOT. The study found sufficient warrants 4 for the installation of a permanent signal system in conjunction with geometric revisions to 65th Ave. No. This signal work is recommended by Staff and costs have been included in this report. Other proposed signal work involves the existing system at the 65th / Humboldt intersection. This work includes revisions required by the proposed lane geometry and widening occurring on either side of the intersection. Roadway improvements proposed include widening 65th Ave. No. at the Humboldt Ave. No. intersection, to match the lane geometry established by Freeway Boulevard. East of Humboldt, it is proposed to transition into a 3 lane section, with the center lane functioning as a continuous two -way left turn lane. Utilizing the existing curb, this design minimizes reconstruction through the predominantly residential area. This proposal has also received preliminary approval from MNDOT's Office of State Aid. Beyond the intersection with Humboldt Ave. No., pavement improvements consist of milling the existing driving surface and placing a bituminous overlay. Widening and sidewalk /trail construction will require an easement from Brooklyn Center High School. Also, to accomplish the connection of the sidewalk /trail system at T.H. 252, it is recommended that the necessary easements be obtained from the commercially zoned properties located in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of 66th Ave. No. and T.H. 252. It is recommended that utility inspections and repairs be performed in conjunction with the roadway improvements. Previous inspection has indicated the need to replace sections of the existing sanitary sewer. In the areas of corrosive soils, water main fittings should be inspected and their bolts replaced. Prior to backfill, exposed water main should be wrapped with polyethylene sheeting as a deterrent to further corrosion. Also considered as part this improvement project is the relocation of the existing overhead power lines in and near the Humboldt /65th intersection. This work would be performed by NSP, and costs for such work are included in this report. FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS - 65TH AVENUE NORTH : It is expected that all of the costs of improvements for 65th Ave. No., excepting the utility work and undergrounding the power lines at the Humboldt Avenue intersection, will be reimbursed by the 5 i City's regular Municipal State Aid Street Fund Account. The utility work would be financed by the Public Utility Fund. It is proposed that special assessments be levied against the benefitting commercial /industrial and R -5 properties, similar to Freeway Boulevard. Assessments will be for two levels of benefit, Zones A and B. It is also recommended to assess benefitting R -3 property at the adopted standard rate, currently $18.74 per front foot. FUNDING SUMMARY 65TH AVENUE NORTH Estimated Construction Cost (inc. 15% contingency) $ 558,100 Engineering (8 %) $ 44,650 Administration (1 %) 5,580 Legal (1 %) 5,580 Interest (10 %) 55,810 SUB -TOTAL EST.

DISCUSSION - HUMBOLDT AVENUE NORTH Humboldt Ave. No., between 65th and 69th Ave. No., is a 4 lane bituminous roadway last surfaced in 1973. Due to higher -than- anticipated traffic volumes, the existing pavement shows signs of premature deterioration; i.e. severe rutting and cracking in wheel paths. Insufficient cross -slope of the driving lanes allows water to stand on the pavement, 6 creating a hazardous driving condition. Adjacent to the Brooklyn Center High School property, the narrow boulevard width and location of the chain -link fence create a snow removal problem. It is recommended that improvement to this section of Humboldt Ave. No. be concurrent with the improvements to Freeway Boulevard /65th /66th Avenues No. Proposed roadway improvements for Humboldt Ave. No. are comprised of milling off the top layer and placing a bituminous overlay. Also, it is proposed that the existing five foot walk adjacent to the high school be removed and reconstructed to a ten foot width, at a sufficient setback from the curb to allow adequate snow storage. This will require relocation of the existing fence and an easement from the high school. Other minor items involve replacement of concrete driveway aprons and adjustments to miscellaneous structures. FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS - HUMBOLDT AVENUE NORTH : It is suggested that special assessments for roadway improvements be levied against the properties which have direct access to Humboldt Ave. No., between 65th and 69th Ave. No. All of these properties are zoned either C -2 or R -5, with the exception of Brooklyn Center High School.

CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER council Meeting Date 3/ Agenda Item Number J C REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING PROPOSAL FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES RELATING TO TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS ON FREEWAY BOULEVARD /65TH AVENUE NORTH AT HUMBOLDT AVENUE NORTH AND AT DUPONT AVENUE NORTH (IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS 1990 -11 AND 990 -12� DEPT. APPROVAL: SY KNAPP IRECT R OF PUBLIC WORKS MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION: J� a No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes On October 9, 1989, the City Council of Brooklyn Center adopted a resolution which approved a proposal from the firm of Short - Elliott- Hendrickson Inc. (SEH). This proposal was for providing traffic engineering services to City staff for the development of a plan for the Freeway Boulevard /65th /66th Avenues Corridor. A report developed by SEH under that agreement has demonstrated warrants for signalizing the 65th Avenue /Dupont Avenue intersection, in conjunction with the geometric revisions proposed with the 65th /66th Avenues improvement project. Attached hereto is a recent proposal from SEH to provide additional services deemed necessary at this time. Specifically, the proposed services relate to the modification of the existing traffic signal system at the intersection of Humboldt Avenue with Freeway Boulevard, and to the design of a traffic signal at the intersection of Dupont Avenue and 65th Avenue. Council Action Required A resolution accepting and approving the SEH proposal is provided for consideration by the City Council. • Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION ACCEPTING PROPOSAL FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES RELATING TO TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS ON FREEWAY BOULEVARD/ 65TH AVENUE NORTH AT HUMBOLDT AVENUE NORTH AND AT DUPONT AVENUE NORTH (IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS 1990 -11 AND 1990 -12) WHEREAS, the City Council of Brooklyn Center has established Improvement Project 1990 -11, modifications to traffic control signal system at the intersection of Humboldt Avenue with Freeway Boulevard, and Improvement Project 1990 -12, installation of a traffic control signal system at the intersection of Dupont Avenue North with 65th Avenue North; and WHEREAS, geometric revisions to the intersection of Humboldt Avenue North with Freeway Boulevard require modification of the existing signal system; and WHEREAS, the firm of Short - Elliott - Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH) has developed a signal justification report which includes warrants for the installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Dupont Avenue North and 65th Avenue North; and WHEREAS, the Director of Public Works has obtained a proposal from SEH to provide engineering services relating to the design and modification of the traffic control signal systems. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that the proposal submitted by SEH is hereby accepted and the Mayor and City Manager are hereby authorized and directed to execute an agreement with that firm to provide the specified engineering services at an estimated cost of $13,500. Date Mayor ATTEST: 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. *ENGINEERS N ARCHITECTS • PLANNERS 3535 VA DNA15 CENTER DRIVE, ST PAUL, MINNESOTA 55110 612490-2000 March 8, 1990 RE: FREEWAY BOULEVARD 65TH AVENUE NORTH TRAFFIC SIGNALS BROOKLYN CENTER SEH FILE 89105 Mr. Sy Knapp Director of Public Works City of Brooklyn Center 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 Dear Sy: We have reviewed the work necessary to prepare traffic signal plans for installation of a signal at 65th Avenue North and Dupont Avenue, and for modifications necessary at 65th Avenue and Humboldt Avenue. We would propose the following work program to provide the necessary design services. The plan sheets will include an intersection layout, wiring diagram, detail sheet, utility sheet, and title sheet. The signals can be let independent of the roadway reconstruction project which your office is preparing. We have already received the preliminary design for the Humboldt Avenue intersection revisions. We will also prepare technical specifications for the traffic signals as well as "Traffic Control" specifications. These plans and specifications will be organized so that the City's specifications can be assembled to complete the bid document. The City would advertise the project, open bids, and provide construction contract administration. SEH would provide inspection assistance as the City feels necessary. We can attend the preconstruction conference, approve shop drawings, and locate signal components in the field. The estimated cost of the work for the Humboldt Avenue intersection revisions is $4,000. There will be a considerable amount of coordination between our office and your office designer as the final plans for the roadway reconstruction are SHORT ELLIOTT ST PAUL, CHIPPEWA FALLS, HENDRICKSON INC. MINNESOTA WISCONSIN I Mr. Sy Knapp March 8, 1990 Page 2 being completed. Since the signal work will be completed first, it is imperative that it reflect the final design and that it be set not to interfere with the roadway reconstruction. This will require extra care and extra time in the design process. The estimated cost of the design of the traffic signal at Dupont Avenue is $5,500. The design work appears straight forward and we anticipate few problems. The construction services portion of the contract would be based on the amount of work the City actually asks SEH to undertake. Generally the cost of these services has been between $1,000 and $2,000 per intersection for similar projects. All work can be accomplished based on a per diem basis equal to payroll costs times a multiplier of 2.2 to provide for general overhead and profit, plus the actual cost of reimbursable expenses. We would propose that the existing contract between SEH and the City of Brooklyn Center for the preliminary design for Freeway Boulevard and 65th Avenue North be amended to include this additional work. We feel this approach will save both the City and SEH administrative costs. Work on the project will begin immediately after approval to proceed from the City. We are already anticipating approval and are organized to provide a quick turn around to the City. We believe that final plans can be completed within 30 -45 days of receipt of approval. These plans will be submitted to MnDOT State -Aid Office for review. The will be signed by an electrical engineer to reduce the MnDOT review time. We appreciate the opportunity to present this proposal for traffic signal design. We look forward to again working with you and your staff.

The original installations were pneumatic- ejector type pump stations, which have proven difficult to service or find replacement parts for. On September 25, 1989 the City Council gave preliminary approval to replacement of these stations, as a part of the 1990 improvement program. It is staff recommendation that each of these three lift stations be replaced with new stations near their existing locations and be designed as submersible -pump, wet well facilities, consistent with recent reconstruction projects. It is further recommended that the reconstruction of these three lift stations be concurrent, as one project, to reduce administrative and contractual costs. The Engineer's Report, which details the proposed reconstruction and estimated costs, is provided for consideration. Plans and specifications for this improvement have been completed by City Engineer Mark Maloney. It is proposed to place the project under contract in May, for completion this fall. Recommendation It is recommended that the Council adopt the attached resolution establishing the project, accepting the Engineer's Report, approving plans and specifications, and directing advertisement for bids. r got Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO.

CITY 6301 SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY ROOKL O T F r T .�y 1 N BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA 55430 TELEPHONE 561 -5440 C ENTER EMERGENCY- POLICE - FIRE 911 ENGINEER'S REPORT Replacement o p f Sewage Lift Stations 4 5 and 7 Improvement Project No. 1989 -07 PROJECT DESCRIPTION : Replacement of Sewage Lift Stations, pavement restoration and minor landscaping PROJECT LOCATIONS: Lift Station No.4 - 5555 Queen Ave. No. Lift Station No.S - 5531 Halifax Ave. No. Lift Station No.7 - 7114 Willow Lane See Figure 1 for Project Locations I. DISCUSSION - LIFT STATION NO. 4 : This station is located in the westerly boulevard of Queen Ave. No., midway between 55th Ave. No. and Ericon Drive. The existing lift station is a pneumatic- ejector type pump station, originally installed in 1960. This particular design is difficult to service with current OSHA standards for confined space entry. Replacement parts for the various lift station components are also hard, if not impossible to obtain. In addition, the steel shell of the existing structure is subject to corrosion and shows signs of corrosion in several areas. Detection, evaluation and repair of the corroded areas of the shell is extremely difficult and of questionable effectiveness. The area tributary to Lift Station No. 4 is comprised of 177 residential units, with little or no possibility of further subdivision. It is recommended that Lift Station No. 4 be replaced with a totally new station on the easterly side of Queen Ave. No., approximately 100 feet from its current location. Construction at this new location will require a permanent »aa ui�wExiu cnr easement from property owner at 2331 Ericon Drive. Also, pavement restoration will be necessary after construction of the new force main. Recognizing that the area flowing to this station is fully developed, the design parameters for the proposed facility are essentially the same as was for the original installation. The new station, however, will be of a submersible -pump, wet well design, consistent with recent lift station projects. This design is more efficient, much easier to service, and allows full compliance with OSHA standards. The use of a concrete shell for the new station prevents corrosion problems. Also, it is well suited for use in residential areas because only the electrical control cabinet is located above ground, and no noises are perceptible to adjacent properties. Other than the required easement, no unusual permits or uncommon construction procedures for the proposed reconstruction are anticipated. Please refer to Figure 2 for Preliminary Site Plan of Lift Station No. 4. FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS - LIFT STATION NO. 4 It is proposed that payment for the reconstruction of Lift Station No. 4 be made from the Brooklyn Center Public Utility Fund. A summary of the anticipated costs is provided below. COST SUMMARY LIFT STATION NO. 4 Estimated Construction Cost (inc. removal of old station and 15% contingency) $ 75,900 Easement Acquisition $ 2,000 Engineering (8 %) 6,070 Administration (1 %) 760 Legal (1 %) 760 Interest (10 %) 7.590 TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST $ 93,080 II. DISCUSSION - LIFT STATION NO. 5 : This station is located in the westerly boulevard of Halifax Ave. No., just south of Indiana Ave. No. The station, being the same design and age as No. 4, is plagued with the same maintenance problems. The area flowing to Lift Station No. 5 is 2 extremely small, with 21 single - family residential units, and offers no chance for further subdivision. It is recommended that Lift Station No. 5 be replaced with a totally new station located approximately 250 feet west of its existing location, on City -owned property. No additional easements or right -of -way will be required for construction at this site. Lift Station No. 5 will be designed similar to No. 4, and the top elevation of the station set above the 100 year flood level (856.0) of Twin Lake. Placement of the new force main will require a small amount of pavement restoration and a new service line for one of the affected homes. Please refer to Figure 2 for Preliminary Site Plan of Lift Station No. 5. FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS - LIFT STATION NO. 5 Payment for the reconstruction of Lift Station No. 5 should be made from the Brooklyn Center Public Utility Fund. Anticipated costs are summarized below. COST SUMMARY LIFT STATION NO. 5 Estimated Construction Cost (inc. removal of old station and 15% contingency) $ 83,000 Engineering (8 %) $ 6,640 Administration (1 %) 830 Legal (1 %) 830 Interest (10 %) 8,300 TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST $ 99,500 III. DISCUSSION - LIFT STATION NO. 7 : Lift Station No. 7, located at 7114 Willow Lane, is a pneumatic- ejector pump station that was constructed in 1961. Fifty -nine residential units ultimately flow to Lift Station No. 7, eighteen of which are located in the City of Brooklyn Park. Flow from these residences is allowed through an existing agreement between the cities of Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center. It is recommended that Lift Station No. 7 be replaced with a totally new station located approximately 150 feet north of the existing location. This location, on the west side 3 of Willow Lane, would allow construction without any additional right -of -way or easements. The design of this lift station would be similar to that which is proposed for Lift Stations No. 4 and 5. Construction of the new force main will require the replacement of approximately 350 feet of Willow Lane and the extension or reconnection of a small number of residential services. Please refer to Figure 2 for Preliminary Site Plan of Lift Station No. 7. FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS - LIFT STATION NO. 7 It is suggested that payment for the reconstruction of Lift Station No. 7 be made from the Brooklyn Center Public Utility Fund. A summary of the anticipated costs is provided below. COST SUMMARY LIFT STATION NO. 7 Estimated Construction Cost (incl. removal of old station and 15% contingency) $ 91,510 Engineering (8 %) $ 7,320 Administration (1 %) 920 Legal (1 %) 920 Interest (100) 9,150 TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST $ 109,820 Attached information includes: Project Location Map and Preliminary Site Plans.

APPROVAL: SY K PP D ACTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes • The City of Brooklyn Center annually establishes a Shade Tree Removal project to expedite the removal of diseased trees and other nuisance trees. Nearly 600 trees were marked for removal under last year's program, 378 of which were removed by the City's tree contractor, North Wood Company. A summary of the tree removal program from 1974 -1989 is attached. Preliminary estimates by University of Minnesota specialists suggest a six to ten percent increase in the number of diseased trees in 1990. It is not certain what the increase in Brooklyn Center will be. The City utilizes a "fast track" system of procedures for administering this program. These procedures were approved by the Council in 1987, and are intended to, as the name implies, speed up the process. Figure 1 shows the process that is followed for a typical tree. Minor changes have been made to the specifications. These: • Define "immediately," where used, to mean within 24 hours. • Specify that stumps not ground immediately upon tree removal must be totally debarked. • Clarify the City Engineer's flexibility to order one -week or two -week work lists, and lists that are organized geographically. Tree program administrative procedures are also being reviewed and revised to ensure that no trees "fall through the cracks." Recommendation It is recommended that the Council adopt the attached resolution establishing the project, approving plans and specifications, and directing advertisement for bids. NOTE City Staff are currently preparing a report regarding development of a "Reforestation Program." That report will be presented at the April 9, 1990 Council meeting. • • Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO.

In addition, the future upgrade of I94/694 (i.e. - the addition of a third lane in each direction), west from Brooklyn Boulevard, which is now scheduled for 1994 -95, will result in a faster runoff of storm waters and capacity problems unless the storm drainage system(s) are improved. During the past year City staff has discussed this matter with MNDOT and we have suggested that they consider the possibility of constructing a storm water detention pond on the 4.1 acre undeveloped parcel of property which lies in the southwest quadrant of the I94/694 - Brooklyn Boulevard interchange (see attached location map). After their review of this suggestion MNDOT has advised the City that: • they believe this site could provide the additional system capacity needed to serve the area. • they are unable to proceed with acquisition of the property at this time, due to funding constraints and due to their need to obtain Federal Highway Administration approval to purchase the site. It is estimated that it could take three to four years before MNDOT could proceed with site acquisition. o MNDOT is willing to enter into an agreement with the City which would provide that the City purchase the site, MNDOT would build the pond, and the City would then maintain the pond. MNDOT has prepared a proposed "Letter of Understanding" (copy attached) for consideration by the City. Staff Analysis and Recommendation The following comments are offered for consideration by the City Council: • while the City would obtain some direct benefit from the additional capacity provided by the proposed pond, this consideration by itself will not justify the City's costs under MNDOT's proposal. • failure to obtain the property now could result in other development of this property, makin g it unfeasible to proceed with this "solution" when MNDOT gets ready to proceed with the I94/694 improvement. • because of its proximity to the interchange ramp, development of a non - hazardous access to this site is very difficult. In previous site plan approvals, the City has always required that access be limited to the southernmost portion of the parcel's frontage on Brooklyn Boulevard, and that the access be limited to a right -in, right -out condition. Even those conditions, however, cannot assure that development of the site would not result in dangerous access conditions. • o the site is zoned C -1. Based on public reaction to previous development proposals, there appear to be few financially - practical land uses which do not create substantial land use conflicts with adjacent development. Consideration of all of these factors may indicate that there is a public purpose and a cost justification for proceeding with acquisition of the site and its development as a storm water detention pond. Recently, the current owners of the site contacted City staff and expressed a willingness to negotiate the sale of the property to the City. If the City Council is interested in pursuing this concept, it is recommended that the attached resolution be adopted to: • establish the project; • authorize the City Manager to hire an appraiser to appraise the value of this property; and • establish a public hearing date for consideration of the concept. Note because storm water detention ponds are allowed uses in any zoning area, no rezoning would be required. However, it is recommended that a hearing be conducted to obtain public input regarding this proposed use and regarding design details if a pond is to be constructed; i.e. - should it be a "dry" pond (dry during dry weather • conditions) or as a "wet" pond (with a permanent 2 -foot to 4 -foot deep pond); can /should wetland areas be reserved• what type of amenities P � P Y • (landscape, trials, etc.) should be incorporated into the site design; etc. City Council Action Required • review and discuss this proposal • consider adoption of the attached resolution • Note: It is not recommended that approval of MNDOT's "Letter of Understanding" be formally considered until after a public hearing is held, and the costs of acquiring the property are known. However, if the City Council wishes to suggest amending the terms of MNDOT's draft "offer," staff could attempt to negotiate such revisions during the time that other matters proceed. • Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1989 -25, STORM WATER DETENTION POND AT THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE I94/694 - BROOKLYN BOULEVARD INTERCHANGE, AUTHORIZING AN APPRAISAL OF THE PROPERTY PROPOSED TO BE ACQUIRED, AND CALLING FOR A HEARING THEREON WHEREAS, existing storm drainage systems serving the areas between 66th and 68th Avenues North, including Interstate Highway 94/694, between Xerxes Avenue and Regent Avenue are inadequate to properly service existing and future development of that area and of I94/694; and WHEREAS, the Minnesota Department of Transportation ( MNDOT) has advised the City that the development of a storm water detention pond on a 4.1 acre parcel of property located in the southwesterly quadrant of the I94/694 - Brooklyn Boulevard interchange area could alleviate storm drainage problems, and MNDOT has prepared and submitted a proposed letter of understanding to the City relating to acquisition and development of that parcel of property for use as a storm water detention pond; and WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the City Council that the acquisition and development of that parcel as a storm water detention pond would also avert serious traffic safety problems on Brooklyn Boulevard (CSAH 152) and land use conflicts which could result from commercial development of that parcel; and WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to further evaluate the feasibility of acquiring and developing this parcel for storm water detention purposes. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that: 1. The proposed project is hereby established as follows: IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1989 -25 STORM WATER DETENTION POND AT I94/694 - BROOKLYN BOULEVARD INTERCHANGE 2.

Anderson District Hydraulics Engineer PHONE : 593 -8504 SUBJECT C. S . 2786 (I -94) Storm Drainage System West of Brooklyn Blvd. Review of the "as- built" culvert inventory completed by Brooklyn Center indicated that culverts downstream of the north ditch line were not constructed as low as early plans proposed. Therefore, in order to develop this ponding area, the existing ditch blocks on I -94 approximately 2350' east of Lane Avenue should be maintained at the existing elevations as the western boundary of the drainage area to the proposed pond. The overflow elevation to the east is 864 at the NE ramp and 859.2 at the SE ramp. The extensions of the pipes under the SE ramp have possibly blocked this overflow and the area south of the ram p should be cross - sectioned to establish the overflow. If the capacity of the downstream storm sewer to the east is exceeded, the interchange areas will begin to flood. Using the storage in this pond plus the storage in the interchange, the drainage area should be flood routed with the 2 - 48 inlets and the tailwater at Xerxes to determine the overflow capacity needed. I would recommend trying a 24" RCP jacked under the SE ramp at 857.0 to eliminate any threat of ponding for the homes adjacent to this ponding area. The pipe could outlet on top of the 60" storm sewer. I recommned proceeding with this ponding area.

The annual premium, compared to the 1989 premium is as follows: 1990 Less 1990 1989 Net Gross Agent's Net Gross Percent Coverage Premium Commission Premium Premium Increase Increase -------------------- - - - - -- -- - - - - -- ---- - - - - -- - - - - -- - - - - - -- -- - - - - -- --- - - - - -- Property $ 26,176 2,618 23,558 21,058 2,500 11.87% Inland Marine 6,774 677 6,097 6,701 (604) -9.01% General Liability 72,877 7,288 65,589 59,298 6,291 10.61% Errors /Omissions Liability (For Public Officials) 10,035 1,003 9,032 7,190 1,842 25.62% Automobile Liability 29,551 2,955 26,596 32,734 (6,138) - 18.75% Automobile Physical Damage 14,577 1,458 13,119 16,423 (3,304) - 20.12% Crime (Money & Securities) 1,313 131 1,182 1,313 (131) -9.98% -- - - - - -- -- - - - - -- -- - - - - -- -- - - - - -- -- - - - - -- --- - - - - -- Total Premium $ 161,303 16,130 145,173 144,717 456 0.32% The 1990 premium is shown net (no commissions) because we entered into an agreement with BHK &R Insurance Agency for 1990 agent services on a flat "fee for services" basis rather then paying them a commission based on premium. The City will realize a considerable saving on commissions this year because of that decision. I will detail the amount of savings later in this memo. The total premium for the comprehensive municipal casualty & property insurance • coverage has increased less then 1% over 1989 premium.

WERTHEIM JAMES S. HOLMES BONNIE L. WILKINS February 28, 1990 Mr. Sy Knapp Public Works Director City of Brooklyn Center 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, NIN 55430 Re: Ordinance Amendment Relating to Obstructions in Public Right-of-Way Dear Sy: You have asked for my general comments on the proposed amendment to City Code Section 27 -104. Under state law (Minnesota Statutes Section 160.27, Subd. 5) it is a misdemeanor to do any of the follows g: (1) Obstruct any highway or deposit snow or ice thereon; (2) Plow or perform any other detrimental operation within the road right -of -way except in the preparation of the land for planting permanent vegetative cover; (3) Erect a fence on the right -of -way of a trunk highway, county state -aid highway, county highway or town road, except to erect a lane fence to the ends of a livestock pass; p � (4) Dig any holes in any highway; except to locate markers placed to identify sectional corner positions and private boundary corners; (5) Remove any earth, gravel or rock from any highway; Mr. Sy Knapp February 28, 1990 Page 2 (6) Obstruct any ditch draining any highway or drain any noisome materials into any ditch; (7) Place or maintain any building or structure within the limits of any highway; (8) Place or maintain any advertisement within the limits of any highway; (9) Paint, print, place, or affix any advertisement or any object within the limits of any highway; (10) Deface, mar, damage, or tamper with any structure, work, material, equipment, tools, signs, markers, signals, paving, guardrails, drains, or any other highway appurtenance on or along any highway; (11) Remove, injure, displace, or destroy right -of -way markers, or reference or witness monuments, or markers placed to preserve section or quarter section corners; (12) Improperly place or fail to place warning signs and detour signs as provided by law; (13) Drive over, through, or around any barricade, fence, or obstruction erected for the purpose of preventing traffic from passing over a portion of a highway closed to public travel or to remove, deface, or damage any such barricade, fence, or obstruction. Also under state law ( Minnesota Statutes § 160.27, Subd. 7) the Commissioner of Transportation has the authority to "take down, remove, or destroy any advertisement, building or structure in or upon any highway in violation of this section." Under the existing City Code, Section 27 -104, it is also a misdemeanor to do any of the things listed above, because the City Code incorporates the provisions of Minnesota Statutes S 160.27, Subd. 5. However, the City Code does not currently incorporate Subd. 7 of that section which gives the Commissioner of Transportation the authority to remove obstructions. Therefore, it is unlawful to place a structure on the right -of -way, but it is not clear that the City has the authority to remove it. This means, for example, that the City may prosecute the placement of a structure in the right -of -way as a misdemeanor, or it may seek an order of the court, in a civil case, requiring the owner to remove the structure. Both of these options have advantages and disadvantages. Generally, misdemeanor prosecution is faster, less expensive and usually results in prompt compliance with the ordinance by the Mr. Sy Knapp February 28, 1990 Page 3 defendant. However, in misdemeanor cases, the burden of proof is higher, the judge may not give the case the attention it deserves, and even a conviction may simply mean that a fine is imposed and not that the obstruction will be removed. A civil action, on the other hand, is more likely to result in a court order compelling the removal of the obstructions, but is more costly and time consuming. Neither of these two options necessarily results in the prompt removal of structures in the right -of -way. Obviously, in many cases, the City can wait for the outcome of a criminal or civil trial. However, there are cases in which more prompt action is required. Your example of a landowner stringing cable three feet off of the ground across a corner of right -of -way used by snowmobilers is a good one. The purpose of the proposed ordinance amendment is not to change the law prohibiting obstruction of the right -of -way. No acts that were legal bef ore are made illegal by the ordinance amendment. The only change to the current ordinance is that the city manager is given the authority to remove structures which are already illegal under the City Code, just as the Commissioner of Transportation has the authority to remove structures on state highway right -of- way.

"r FAX (6121 561•i943 Mr. SV Knapp Director of Public Works City of Brooklyn Center 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 RE: Proposed Amendment to Chapter 27 Traffic ordinances Dear Sy: I have had an opportunity to review the proposed amendment to Section 27.104 dealing with obstruction of or damage to city streets and roads and to speak at some length with Charlie LeFevere. I have some comments about the present proposed amendment and the purposes it is designed to accomplish and some changes you may wish to consider. As I understand the genesis of this problem, a home owner put pasts adjacent to a road or a street corner to prohibit vehicles from driving over the corner of his property. The City was unsuccessful in prosecuting the individual and there was some question as to whether the City Manager had the right to cause the posts to be removed. Rather than pass a comprehensive ordinance on the subject, I understand that Charlie LeFevere was asked to insure that the power to remove obstructions, now vested in the Commissioner of Transportation for state roads, be unequivocally vested in the City Manger with respect to city streets and roads. I find that the proposed ordinance amendment does not impair the City's ability to prosecute violators. Even without Section 27.104, city prosecution of offenders for violating Minnesota Statutes Section 160.27 Subdivion 5 could always be maintained because city prosecutors have jurisdiction over misdemeanors. It is perfectly proper to bring a misdemeanor charge against someone for obstructing a roadway in violation of Minnesota Statutes Section 160.27 Subdivision 5 whether or not it is incorporated in the city ordinances. At this time, city prosecution could proceed either under State Statute or present Ordinance 27.104 which incorporates the provisions of Chapter 160 or could proceed under the authority of both. Your new ordinance does not impair criminal prosecution whatsoever. Mr. Sy Knapp page 2 7 March 1990 Charlie and I do have a concern as to whether this ordinance will be comprehensive enough, however, to deal with most of the violations which may be unique to urban areas. Charlie has proposed the amendment to prohibit obstructions not only to roadways but also the right -of -way to deal with those situations where the shoulder or right -of -way of the road is impaired although not the main - traveled portion itself. This is an excellent idea since an obstruction along the shoulder of the road might be as dangerous as an obstruction on the road itself and the public is entitled to use not only the main portion of the road but also shoulders or other areas in times of emergency. I note that by incorporating Minnesota Statutes Section 160.27 Subdivision 5, we could prosecute any person erecting a Tense, digging holes in the roadway, removing earth, gravel or rock from the highway, obstructing a drainage ditch, maintaining a building or structure within the limits of any highway, placing signs or advertisement there or persons who deface guardrails, signs or other markers along the highway. There is also a general prohibition against obstructing any highway which the ordinance expands to include any obstruction of nigh -of -ways of any highway, street or alley in the city. However, it appeared to me that situations may arise in Brooklyn Center where persons may obstruct roads in a way that does not directly or clearly fall within the terms of the ordinance. For example, if someone were to plant a large hedge adjacent to the roadway it would not constitute maintaining a building or structure, nor an advertisement, nor a fence nor seem to otherwise come within the prohibition of Subdivision 5 and yet it may pose a situation where the City would wish to have remedial powers. Subdivision 1 of Section 150.27 Subdivision 5 makes it unlawful to "obstruct any highway or deposit snow or ice thereon." This seems to be an overall and broad prohibition against obstructing any city street or highway but, curiously, the sentence goes on to then prohibit the deposit of snow or ice thereon. it is a little awkward for the same sentence to both prohibit obstruction of roads and to further prohibit the deposit of snow or ice because it deals with two distinct violations in the context of one sentence. Statutes which impose criminal penalties are strictly construed. That is during the interpretation of the statute, the statute is read narrowly so to bring within the criminal statute only that conduct which clearly violates it. Someone might argue that the provision generally prohibiting the obstruction of roads, which in contained in the same sentence speaking about deposits of snow and ice might or should be limited to obstructions by means of snow or ice. That is that the legislature intended the word obstruction in this subdivision to Mr. Sy Knapp page 3 7 March 1990 mean obstructions by reason of snow or ice since it placed the prohibition about obstruction in the same sentence with the reference to snow or ice. This may seem like a far - fetched interpretation but in fact given the strict construction of statutes, I can see the argument being made and the obligation for the court to at least seriously consider the argument. It might be worthwhile to think about the most common causes of obstructions to see if they fit within the prohibitions of Subdivision 5 and whether the ordinance should be expanded to include those situations unique to municipalities so that the City would have broad enforcement powers. This would be a departure from the initial intent of this ordinance but it seems to me if the City is going to consider enforcement powers regarding obstruction, it might well consider a comprehensive ordinance to try and deal with the problem once and for all rather than to pass this ordinance and then perhaps find that there are a number of predictable situations which will arise and which are not addressed by the ordinance. Charlie and I also talked about the provisions dealing with the power of the City Manager or his agent to summarily remove obstructions. I think the language contained in the ordinance is acceptable but it might be buttressed by words giving the City Manager the immediate power to do so or unilateral power to do so to make it clear that the City Manager has that authority without need to resort to city council resolutions or to otherwise seek approval from other entities. I know there could be concern that a strongly worded ordinance might permit over- zealous enforcement but I believe that if the code enforcement officers or police officers are properly trained in the City's philosophy as to the enforcement of the ordinance that all proper purposes will be accomplished and yet the leeway traditionally given citizens can be maintained. Please give me a call when you have had a chance to review the comments. Sincerely, CARSON AND CLELLAND willi lland WGC:lln enclosures _ Cc: Chai lie Ler everE'. CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date Agenda Item Number C REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 11 OF THE BROOKLYN CENTER CITY ORDINANCES *********************************************************** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** DEPT. APPROVAL Signatur - title r James Lindsay, Chief of Pow' _ MANAGER'S IEW /RECOMMENDATION: i A;� No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached yes ) . The Brooklyn Center liquor ordinance currently restricts ownership of a liquor license to a single person or corporation. General Mills Restaurants, Inc, who currently hold an on -sale intoxicating liquor license for the Red Lobster Restaurant, have made a formal request to allow more than one owner. The attached letter expresses their interest in building an Olive Garden Restaurant on James Circle. When the city first went to split liquor, it allowed the city to license private on -sale for restaurants, hotels and bowling alleys while retaining municipal off -sale. The laws at the time limited the number of on -sale private licenses the city could issue to six (6). The thinking at the time of limiting license holders in Brooklyn Center to one was to avoid a particular individual or corporation from controlling the majority of the licenses. Since that time, the law has changed and the city is now authorized to issue eighteen (18) licenses. Apparently this number also may be changed as a few cities have special legislation authorizing more than eighteen (18) licenses. The city currently issues nine (9) on -sale liquor licenses a year. The highest issued was eleven (11) licenses, but Yen Ching and Green Mill no longer retain a license. With the number of eighteen (18) licenses, it does not appear likely that any individual or corporation could dominate the restaurant business in Brooklyn Center. The staff has reviewed General Mills Restaurants' request and believe it would be • an asset to the city to have an Olive Garden Restaurant located in Brooklyn Center. Additionally the attached ordinance creates a class f license which will be available for use at the Earle Brown Heritage Center. Authorization for this license has been presented to the State Legislature in a special bill for their consideration. The bill • also authorizes this license not to be counted in our eighteen (18) licenses authorized. The staff reviewed the current liquor ordinance and has two housekeeping items which were missed in the last review. One is the change in Sunday hours which was changed in various places in the ordinance, but missed in this one paragraph. The other is the elimination of the surety bond required for on -sale licenses. This had been a requirement of the State, which has dropped the requirement of surety bonds in most instances including liquor licenses, notary bonds, et cetera. RECOMMENDATION: The City Council approve the attached ordinance for a first reading. • General Mills Restaurants, Inc. General Offices 6770 Lake Ellenor Drive P.O. Box 593330 Orlando. FL 32859 -3330 (407) 851 -0370 February 27, 1990 FEDERAL EXPRESS Chief Jim Lindsay Chief of Police Brooklyn Center Police Department 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 RE: Proposed Olive Garden Restaurant James Circle, east of Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center Dear Chief Lindsay: General Mills Restaurants, Inc. is desirous of building an Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in Brooklyn Center. A prerequisite for the development of our restaurants nts is the availability q of a liquor license. We have been advised of Brooklyn Center's ordinance prohibiting any one owner from possessing more than one liquor license. The purpose of this letter is to propose a change in the ordinance which would allow us to introduce the Olive Garden Italian Restaurant to your community. We joined your community in 1982 with the Red Lobster Restaurant located at 7235 Brooklyn Boulevard. As Red Lobster's sister company, the Olive Garden Italian Restaurant also strives to be an involved member in the community. The 200 Olive Garden restaurants across the country support a variety of local organizations, with programs designed to meet the needs of its particular community. The Olive Garden is owned and operated by General Mills Restaurants, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of General Mills, Inc. of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Our company has proven to be financially successful and our restaurants are operated in a professional manner and with a sincere appreciation of the laws of the various jurisdictions in which we operate. I would like to take this opportunity to outline what we believe to be the benefits that would accrue to the Brooklyn Center area by having an Olive Garden Italian Restaurant. The Olive Garden is a full service, family- oriented restaurant offering reasonably priced, good tasting Italian -style foods. Every effort is made to serve the freshest foods in their natural Red Lobster;: The Olive Garden. Chief Jim Lindsay February 27, 1990 Page 2 state, free of chemical additives, preservatives or colorings. We especially pride ourselves on our fresh pasta, which is produced daily on our premises. Most of our lunch and dinner items include complimentary garlic bread sticks and our colossal Olive Garden salad. Our wine list offers a select grouping designed to compliment our Italian menu. The full service lounge will provide a central location within the unit for guests waiting to be served, but will not provide entertainment or dancing. We will employ approximately 90 -100 people. Employees who work over 25 hours weekly are considered full time and are entitled to full company benefits. This will result in excess of $500,000 payroll per year, obviously benefitting the local community. Although alcoholic beverages sales represent a small portion of our total sales, obtaining a license to sell alcoholic beverages is a contingency for our building a restaurant in a particular community. I spoke with Barbara Cox some time ago concerning this request for an ordinance change. We are proceeding with our 0 request now as we have a fully executed real estate contract. We have several weeks to obtain the necessary City approvals to proceed with the contract. At your earliest convenience, please advise us how to proceed in initiating action to gain City Council approval on the proposed ordinance change. We would be pleased to present additional facts and information to your City Council. We strongly believe an Olive Garden Italian Restaurant in the Brooklyn Center community would provide a positive environment, and thus join the many fine establishments currently in business in your area. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to call me at 1 800 -562 -7837, extension 5635. Most sincerely, GENERAL MILLS RESTAURANTS, INC. ( J Sherri L. Hall Legal Representative, Licensing Enclosures q CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held on the day of ,19 , at p.m. at City Hall, 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway, to consider an amendment to Chapter 11 of the city ordinances.

CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date 3 Agenda hem Number 9 L REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION ADOPTING LICENSE FEES FOR CLASS E AND CLASS F ON- SALE INTOXICATING LIQUOR LICENSES DEPT. APPROVAL: Signature - title'- James Lindsay, Chief of Police _ MANAGER'S R IEW /RECOMMENDATION: M R.,' No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached yes ) The attached resolution adopts a license fee schedule for the two new classes of on- sale intoxicating liquor licenses. The Class E license pertains to the hotels that wish to have a special liquor /food area for guests only for two hours per day, normally known as the manager's hospitality hour. Because of the special restrictions placed on this license, the staff has reviewed and believes the proposed fee of $2,500 is appropriate. This is the amount we were considering at the time the ordinance proposal was made. The Class F license is the special license for the Earle Brown Heritage Center. This license will be used for liquor service both at the convention center and the bed and breakfast facility. The staff has reviewed this license and believes a yearly license fee of $5,000 would be appropriate for this facility. Based on the facts that the license would not be used on a daily basis by the convention center and the relatively small number of people who would be ordering liquor at the bed and breakfast, staff believes the proposed fee is justified. RECOMMENDATION: The City Council pass the resolution adopting the proposed fees for the Class E and • Class F on -sale intoxicating liquor licenses. Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION ADOPTING LICENSE FEES FOR CLASS E AND CLASS F ON -SALE INTOXICATING LIQUOR LICENSES WHEREAS, Brooklyn Center City Ordinance 11 -702, subdivision 3 allows for Classes A through F of on -sale intoxicating liquor licenses; and WHEREAS, no license fees have been previously established for Class E and Class F on -sale intoxicating liquor licenses. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center that the following fees be established: Class E On -Sale Intoxicating Liquor License $2,500 Class F On -Sale Intoxicating Liquor License $5,000 Date Mayor ATTEST: 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. t � R MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA MARCH 1, 1990 STUDY SESSION CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER The Planning Commission met in study session and was called to order by Chairperson Molly Malecki at 7:32 p.m. ROLL CALL Chairperson Molly Malecki, Commissioners Wallace Bernards, Lowell Ainas, Kristen Mann and Mark Holmes. Also present were Director of Planning and Inspection Ronald Warren and Planner Gary Shallcross. Chairperson Malecki noted that Commissioner Johnson had indicated that he would be absent and was excused. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - FEBRUARY 1 1990 Motion by Commissioner Bernards seconded by Commissioner Mann to approve the minutes of the February 1, 1990 Planning Commission meeting as submitted. Voting in favor: Chairperson Malecki, Commissioners Bernards, Ainas, Mann and Holmes. Voting against: none. The motion passed. APPLICATION NO. 90001 (Duane Saari) Following the Chairperson's explanation, the Secretary introduced the first item of business, a request for approval of a variance to subdivide by metes and bounds, redrawing the common property line between 5113 Paul Drive and 6412 Scott Avenue North to eliminate an encroachment of the Saari driveway on the neighboring lot. The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (See Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 90001 attached). Commissioner Sander arrived at 7:34 p.m. Commissioner Holmes asked whether there was any problem with the existing easement. The Secretary responded in the negative and stated that the easement would continue to apply. Chairperson Malecki asked the applicant whether he had anything to add. Mr. Saari responded in the negative. PUBLIC HEARING (Application No 90001) Chairperson Malecki then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked whether anyone present wished to comment on the application. Commissioner Holmes asked who owned the redwood fence along the 3 -1 -90 1 ' 8 south lot lines of the properties. Mr. Saari indicated that it was the property owner to the south. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING There being no other comments from those present, there was a motion by Commissioner Bernards seconded by Commissioner Mann to close the public hearing. The motion passed unanimously. ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO 90001 (Duane Saari) Motion by Commissioner Mann seconded by Commissioner Ainas to recommend approval of Application No. 90001, subject to the following conditions: 1.

D ISCUSSION ITEMS a) Ordinance Amendment Regarding Uses Permitted in the C1, C2 and I -1 Districts and Rezoning Application No. 89003 The Secretary then introduced a discussion item with the Planning Commission regarding the City initiated rezoning under Application No. 89003 and a companion zoning ordinance amendment which would eliminate some commercial uses from the I -1 zone. The Secretary explained that the City Attorney had had concerns regarding the ordinance amendment recommended by the Planning Commission in March of 1989. He stated that the staff was also working on a PUD ordinance at the time and that it was decided to hold off the consideration on the amendment to the I -1 zone until the PUD ordinance was in effect. The Secretary added that the PUD ordinance is now effective and that it is, therefore, appropriate to recommend consideration of the rezoning and ordinance amendment. He stated that it was appropriate at this time to reaffirm the actions on the Comprehensive Plan amendment and the rezoning which were taken under Planning Commission Resolution Nos. 89 -1 and 89 -2. The Secretary then reviewed the background of the rezoning application which had been initiated by the City. He stated that one of the reasons the rezoning was initiated was because the owner of some of the industrial land north of the Freeway, Richardson and Sons, began marketing some of their parcels for sale about two years ago and that some of the parties who were interested in those parcels would have made use of them for convenience food restaurants and budget hotels. The Secretary stated that staff did not believe those sorts of uses were appropriate in the I -1 zone, especially in the area north of Freeway Boulevard and were not in 3 -1 -90 2 keeping with the conceptual plans put forth by the owner over the years. The Secretary went on to explain that the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to the I -1 district was amended twice in the past to allow more commercial uses by special use permit in the I -1 zone. He stated that along with those uses, there were standards added to the I -1 zone which were to apply to those commercial uses, namely, that the uses would be of comparable intensity and compatible with existing I -1 uses and other uses allowed in the I -1 zone generally. He explained that the City, at the time it adopted these ordinances, thought it had control over development through its ability to deny a special use permit. He pointed out, however, that recent history of legal cases showed that cities have very little ability to deny a special use permit. He stated that the burden of proof has fallen on the City rather than on the developer. Because of this, staff became concerned when some commercial uses were proposed for the I -1 zone a year and a half ago. Therefore, staff initiated the rezoning application and an ordinance amendment to eliminate some commercial uses from the I -1 zone. The Secretary then showed the Commission a transparency of the areas that were affected by the rezoning application, including the Holiday Inn and the La Casita restaurant and parcels between the freeway and Freeway Boulevard east of Shingle Creek Parkway. He added that there were parcels south of the freeway and east of Shingle Creek Parkway which would also be included in the rezoning. He pointed out that the uses in this area are generally commercial and that none of them would become nonconforming by being rezoned to C2. The Secretary then explained the action that had been taken in March of 1989 to recommend a Comprehensive Plan amendment along with an ordinance amendment. He stated that the Comprehensive Plan amendment was forwarded to the Metropolitan Council for their review and comment and that the Met Council had no objection to the Plan amendment. The Secretary then reviewed with the Commission the contents of a staff memo on the draft ordinance amendment before the Planning Commission. (See memorandum attached). The Secretary explained that the previous ordinance amendment had called for allowing certain single tenant retailers selling large or expensive items to be allowed by special use permit. He stated that the City Attorney had expressed reservations about limiting retail establishments to only single tenant establishments and those selling certain products. He stated that the land use impacts could really not be differentiated from other types of establishments. The Secretary pointed out that the draft ordinance amendment would eliminate retail sales as a principal use in the I -1 zone, but that retail sales as an accessory use to a manufacturing, wholesaling, or warehousing type use would still be allowed by special use permit. He stated that the Schmitt Music operation would still be considered a conforming use since its retail operation is more of an incidental part of the use of the building rather than the 3 -1 -90 3 principal use. He then reviewed with the Commission uses to be eliminated from the I -1 zone and others to be added by special use permit. Commissioner Bernards asked about projected traffic impact as a result of the ordinance amendment. The Secretary stated that staff do not envision more traffic than was projected by the 1985 Short - Elliott (SEH) Traffic Study of the Industrial Park and the Brookdale area. He stated that the study had projected peak hour traffic that would result from maximum development of this area. He stated that there may have to be some modifications to certain intersections if the traffic levels increase, but that these modifications were foreseen by the traffic study. The Planner indicated that the draft ordinance amendment would make the I -1 zone more of an employment zone rather than a zone open for commerce. He stated that the likely effect of this restriction would be to perhaps increase the 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. peak hour traffic along Shingle Creek Parkway, north of Freeway Boulevard, but that it would reduce the 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. traffic in that area from what it might otherwise be. Commissioner Bernards asked whether any existing uses in the Industrial Park would become nonconforming as a result of the ordinance amendment. The Secretary responded in the negative. The Secretary recommended to the Commission that it reaffirm the actions to amend the Comprehensive Plan and the rezoning and also to act on the draft ordinance amendment. He added that there would be no nonconforming uses in the area to be rezoned to C2. ACTION REAFFIRMING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REZONING APPLICATION NO. 89003 (PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NOS. 89 -1 AND 89 -2) Motion by Commissioner Bernards seconded by Commissioner Mann to reaffirm the Planning Commission's action on the Comprehensive Plan amendment contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 89 -1 and also to reaffirm the rezoning recommendation contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 89 -2. Voting in favor: Chairperson Malecki, Commissioners Sander, Bernards, Ainas, Mann and Holmes. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously. MOTION RECOMMENDING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REGARDING USES PERMITTED IN THE Cl, C2 AND I -1 ZONING DISTRICTS Motion by Commissioner Mann seconded by Commissioner Sander to recommend adoption of an ordinance amendment regarding uses permitted in the C1, C2 and I -1 zoning districts, especially uses allowed by special use permit in the I -1 zone. (See draft ordinance attached). Voting in favor: Chairperson Malecki, Commissioners Sander, Bernards, Ainas, Mann and Holmes. Voting against: none. The motion passed. 3 -1 -90 4 The Secretary indicated that he would try to bring Donn Wiski to the Planning Commission's next meeting on March 15 to discuss the Group Home Study. Commissioner Mann also informed the Commission that there would be a grand opening of the Earle Brown Heritage Center on April 20, 22 and 25.

The Secretary stated that staff did not believe those sorts of uses were appropriate in the I -1 zone, especially in the area north of Freeway Boulevard and were not in 3 -1 -90 2 Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 90001 Applicant: Duane Saari Location: 5113 Paul Drive, 6412 Scott Avenue North Request: Variance (Subdivision by metes and bounds) The applicant requests variance approval to allow a subdivision by metes and bounds (rather than by formal plat) in order to relocate the common property line between 5113 Paul Drive and 6412 Scott Avenue North. The purpose of the subdivision is simply to redraw the boundary line to be consistent with physical realities (such as the Saaris' driveway). It is not to create a separate buildable lot. Under the Subdivision Ordinance, subdivisions are to be performed by plat or registered land survey. The proposal to subdivide by metes and bounds requires a variance to be granted from the Subdivision Ordinance. Generally, such variances are granted as long as the following conditions apply: 1) No new buildable lots are created. 2) The underlying lots are platted. 3) Setbacks and lot area requirements will still be met after the property line is redrawn. All three of these conditions are met in this case. No buildable lots are created. The underlying lots are platted. The resulting lot areas will be 11,121 sq. ft. for the Rooney property (the corner lot at 6412 Scott Avenue North) and 9,900 sq. ft. for the Saari property (5113 Paul Drive, an interior lot) . City ordinances require 10,500 sq. ft. for a corner lot and 9,500 sq. ft. for an interior lot. The new lot line will be directly north - south, whereas the existing lot line runs at an angle and lies within the Saaris' driveway, or rather the Saari driveway lies partially on the Rooneys' property. The new property line will leave the Saaris' garage 4.7' from the west lot line. The minimum required by the Zoning Ordinance is 3 1 . The proposed variance application appears to meet the City's policy regarding subdivisions by metes and bounds. Approval is recommended, subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The new legal descriptions and necessary deeds for transfer of property shall be filed with the titles to the property at the County. 3 -1 -90 City of Brooklyn Center Planning _Committee 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 Dear Mr. Gary Shallcross We are requesting a change in the lot line between Duane Saari and John Rooney. This request is due to the lot line as it now stands there is not a straight acess to the Saari garage. His driveway runs over the Rooney property, in fact at the street end of Saari's driveway the lot line is approximately in the center of it. When Saari's purchased the property 17+ years ago the lot line irregularity did no! - show up during the closing or the title search. After the closing the ne_hbors discussed the problem and Saari agreed to go along with the agreement the previous owner of the Paul Drive home and Mr. Rooney had made. That agreement gave Rooney 12 feet at the back of his lot and 9.5 feet at the front of the lot line at the street to Saari. This change is an asset to both partiesfor Saari it is straight acess to his garage, for Rooney it has squared off his back yard and increased it. Also, this change is necessary for either party to be able to sell their property as it is not listable as is. We appreciate your consideration of this problem and hope you will see our problem and straighten the lot line out for us. Thank you in advance. Duane H. Saari John Rooney 5113 Paul Drive 6412 Scott Ave Brooklyn Center, MN 55429 Brooklyn Center, MN 55429 ' 15 -112 Section 15 -112. VARIANCES. a. The council may authorize a variance from these regulations when in its opinion, undue hardship may result from strict compliance. In granting any variance the council shall prescribe only conditions that it deems necessary to or desirable for the public interest. In making its findings as required herein below, the council shall take into account the nature of the proposed use of land, the existing use of land in the vicinity, the number of persons to reside or work in the proposed subdivision and the probable effect of the proposed subdivision upon traffic conditions in the vicinity. To grant a variance, the council shall find. 1. That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting said property such that the strict application of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use P Pp of his land. 2. That the variance is necessary for the preservation ry ion and enjoyment Y P J Ym ent of a substantial property right of the petitioner. 3. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in the territory in which said property is situated. b. Application for any such variance shall be made in writing by the subdivider at the time when the preliminary plat is filed for the consideration of the council, stating fully and clearly all facts relied upon by the petitioner and shall be supplemented with maps, plans or other additional data which may aid the council in the analysis of the proposed project. The plans for such development shall include such covenants, restrictions, or other legal provisions necessary to guarantee the full achievement of the plan. r rA r // 111 it � . �� ■r ■� r i i . a�� � � ■� ►���� r/� �: � ■' : ' �111� 1 1111 /1 ■r �r . i t rr � �,� �,� r�r . r , r IIE�� ;. 1111 ■ . �'1■ • 1'��•. . • ..... 11111 BO �r . r Bill SUNNI r,�111117 111 . •• � ' ■ 11 �■� ��► � /1! � � ■�' /111 �i '�" OP. ,.• , - �' . �, .,���I 1����■ :• r�- ■ 11111 it �1 %I / /ICy � /i ���• ■ � : 1,11111 11 , , i 1/1'111/ •�� 111/ • .., �� ''1 � . e..11c'I /111111/1 1► ■�ti ❖:�:� ❖:!71111 / . , IaII�1 .: ;� // 1111 • ' 1111 Bills :- ......r.�.�.•.•�•�•'� // $ .�■ �/ /11111/ :,; ;� ,� 1 /11111 .?VIII /111 ♦,; ,.,..•� •,�� tii � ►- ' ti ' ,:..11 ��� S■ �i / /�/ � ■ �� �' �K • ' ,� .. � �, ... • /�/ /�/ /11111 �- ; ••� '■ �� /I� � .�► .. ��/ 111111 �.. .. w __ .• / 1111/ 1 / 1 1111 // ■,• ; ••� , ' � .,�,.,�, �• , . 1 / /� / /C!! /11111 ar 111 1 jt�11 /1 ,��.' • .. . -. ...,,,� �b11111/ 1//1//111/////1 iilD� ,.., ,• ,.,, ,. ` ._. 11��� /�■ 1 / /1� ■r x //1/11/1//1/// �'�■ �■� �■ AN � 11111111.:: ,,� . ,;; . ,� . � 1111 11111 11/11/►. � � MEN ,�11/► •• • 111., t CERTIFICATE of SURVEY for: R.E.

No. 14945 0 7 - 3 - 8903V Fn/ 33- 115 -Z/ CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date 3 - -90 Agenda Item Number REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION • ITEM DESCRIPTION: Planning Commission Application No. 89003 submitted by the City of Brooklyn Center DEPARTMENT APPR Signature - title Director of Planning and Inspection af� 4 MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION: A ✓., , No comments to supplement this report Comments below/attached- SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached x Planning Commission Application No. 89003 is a request to rezone from I -1 (Industrial Park) to C2 (Commerce) certain lands lying both north and south of I -694 between Shingle Creek and T.H. 100 /Humboldt Avenue North. The land in question is both partially • vacant and partially developed. It includes the sites for the Holiday Inn, La Casita restaurant, Econolodge motel, Budgetel motel, the Earle Brown Bowl, the Hardees restaurant and the vacant lands south of Freeway Boulevard and north of I -694. South of the freeway the rezoning appplication comprehends the property lying easterly of Shingle Creek Parkway and westerly of T.H. 100 and includes Brookdale Corporate Center I, II and III, the Earle Brown Farm and the Earle Brown Office Tower. Attached is a map highlighting the areas proposed to be rezoned under this City initiated rezoning application. This application was reviewed and recommended by the Planning Commission over one year ago when the Commission recommended Planning Commission Resolution No. 89 -1 relating to its recommendation regarding a change to the City's Comprehensive Plan and Planning Commission Resolution No. 89 -2 recommending the approval of this rezoning application. Also, the Planning Commission had recommended an ordinance amendment which would have eliminated certain uses in the Industrial Park zone. The reason this application was not presented to the City Council was related to questions which were raised, primarily by the City Attorney, regarding whether or not the Zoning Ordinance amendment would be appropriate. The staff was also reviewing, at that time, a proposed PUD ordinance which would address some of the concerns expressed by the City Attorney. The rezoning application was, therefore, held off until after the PUD ordinance was considered and adopted by the City Council. SUMMARY EXPLANATION (PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 89003) • Page 2 The principal impetus to the proposed rezoning is a desire to make the I -1 zone more truly an industrial park zone primarily for office, warehouse, light manufacturing, some service uses and wholesale trade uses and to eliminate the potential development in the I -1 zone of certain commercial uses which are believed to be inappropriate in certain areas of the Industrial Park. Furthermore, the rezoning would recognize the commercial nature of some already existing development in the area which is appropriately located and would also set aside this area for future development of commercial uses of the type found in the area between Freeway Boulevard and the freeway. Along with this rezoning is a proposal to amend the Zoning Ordinance to eliminate certain commercial uses already allowed, generally through the issuance of a special use permit, in the I -1 zone. Concerns regarding the City's ability (or inability) to control development through the use of the special use permit technique have forced us to take another look at the question or appropriate uses in the industrial park zone. At one time, after the adoption of the 1968 Zoning Ordinance, most of the land in the area around • Shingle Creek Parkway and the freeway was zoned I -1, including the areas now zoned C2 south of Summit Drive. As roadways were developed in these areas, proposals for commercial development came forward, land was rezoned and used ultimately for commercial purposes. The I -1 zone was viewed as a zone to be preserved for employment where commerce had a limited role. However, the City desired to have the flexibility to allow certain commercial uses in this industrial park zone where it could be demonstrated that the uses were compatible with, complimentary to, and of comparable intensity to uses already permitted in the industrial park district. Therefore, in 1973, the City Council amended the ordinance to allow certain commercial uses in the I -1 zone through the issuance of a special use permit. Control of the location of the uses was with the City which could deny the uses if it found that the uses were not compatible, complimentary, or of comparable intensity or that the uses could not meet the Standards for Special Use Permits contained in the Zoning Ordinance. The burden of proof was with the developer t p o show the proposal met these criteria. In 1976 the City Council further amended the Zoning Ordinance to provide even more flexibility by comprehending even more commercial uses in the I -1 zone. The City also was generally dealing with one developer in the Industrial Park and there was, for the most part, a common consensus on what uses would be appropriate and in what location. SUMMARY EXPLANATION • Page 3 Two things have changed since that time which we believe lead to the need to pursue the proposed rezoning. One is how courts have more recently viewed the whole special use permit process. If uses are listed as either a special use or a permitted use in a zoning district, courts have generally tended to look at this fact as giving the owner a property right to make use of the land in such a manner. The burden has, in reality shifted to the City to prove such a use, or uses, are inappropriate. So, in great part, the flexibility sought by the City in allowing expanded uses in the I -1 zone through its amendments in 1973 and 1976 to the Zoning Ordinance have really reduced the City's ability to control the use question. Also, a potential change in philosophy of the developer of the Industrial Park has caused some changes. The principal developer is more inclined to sell land for development than he was in the past and there is not as clear a plan for long range development in the Industrial Park as there had been in the past. These two factors have gone a long way toward influencing the recommended rezoning proposal and ordinance amendment. The Planning Commission Information Sheet dated January 26, 1989 • relating to this application, I believe, outlines quite well the justification for the proposed rezoning. Attached are Planning Commission Resolution Nos. 89 -1 and 89 -2 which represent the Planning Commission's recommendation to amend the Comprehensive Plan regarding uses allowed in the area immediately north of the freeway and east of Shingle Creek Parkway and their rationale for the proposed rezoning. The Commission g mi n reaffirmed these two resolutions at their March 1, 1990 meeting. They also recommended a Zoning Ordinance amendment which would eliminate a number of commercial uses, now comprehended as special uses in the I -1 zoning district. Attached for the City Council's y review are the following items related to this matter: 1. A February 27, 1990 memorandum to the Planning Commission from the Planning staff. 2. The January 26, 1989 Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 89003. 3. The January 26, 1989 Planning Commission minutes relating to Application No. 89003. 4.

A copy of an ordinance amending Chapter 35 of the City • Ordinances regarding permitted and special uses in the C1, C2 and I -1 zoning districts which was recommended by the Planning Commission at its March 1, 1990. Recommendation Two resolutions, one a resolution amending the City's Comprehensive Plan relative to a land north of I -694 and east of Shingle Creek, adjacent to Freeway Boulevard and a resolution regarding the disposition of Planning Commission Application No. 89003 submitted by the City of Brooklyn Center are offered for adoption by the City Council. If these resolutions are adopted, the proposed rezoning and Comprehensive Plan amendment will be effective. Also offered for the City Council's consideration is the first reading on an ordinance amending Chapter 35 of the City Ordinances regarding permitted and special uses in the C1, C2, and I -1 zoning districts. • MEMORANDUM 0 TO: Planning Commission Members FROM: Planning Staff SUBJECT: Uses Permitted in C1, C2, and I -1 Zones DATE: February 27, 1990 This memo is to return to the Planning Commission for consideration a City- initiated rezoning application (No. 89003) to rezone a number of parcels near or adjacent to the freeway from I -1 to C2, and an ordinance amendment which would eliminate certain commercial uses from the I -1 to C2, and an ordinance amendment which would eliminate certain commercial uses from the I -1 zone special uses. The Planning Commission considered these matters early in 1989 and adopted Planning Commission Resolution Nos. 89 -1 (Comprehensive Plan amendment) and 89 -2 (Rezoning) recommending to the City Council adoption of a Comprehensive Plan amendment and the rezoning on March 2, 1989. Attached is a copy of the minutes of the March 2 1989 Planning Commission meeting, the resolutions and the recommended ordinance amendment. These matters were not considered by the City Council, but were held off, pending adoption of a Planned Unit Development ordinance, which will add flexibility to all zoning districts within the City. Also attached for the Commission's consideration is a new draft ordinance amendment regarding uses permitted in the C1, C2, and I -1 zones. It differs from the ordinance recommended by the Commission in March 1989 in certain respects. First of all, it adds as a permitted use, in the C1 and C2 zones, leasing offices provided there is no storage or display of products on the use site. Secondly, it removes automobile and truck rental and leasing as a permitted use in the I -1 zone. It is believed that such a use, unless it is simply a leasing office, would likely involve outdoor storage of leased vehicles or inventory which is otherwise prohibited in the I -1 zone. Thirdly, and most importantly, it eliminates from the I -1 zone all retail sales uses as principal uses. The previous ordinance amendment allowed certain single - tenant retail uses, however, the City Attorney has expressed concerns about that approach. Retail sales as an accessory use would still be allowed by special use permit. We feel that the Schmitt Music use - -which combines warehousing, educational lessons, and retail sales - -can be comprehended under this provision. Other retail sales uses may be comprehended under a PUD approval. Finally, the new ordinance amendment reduces the range of commercial uses allowed in the I -1 zone by special use permit. Among the uses to be eliminated from consideration would be: eating establishments of all kinds, equipment rental and leasing services, hospitals, gasoline service stations and motor vehicle repair, transient lodging, clubrooms and lodges. School bus garages and tennis clubs would be added as special uses in the I -1 zone. Memo Page 2 February 27, 1990 The general effect of these changes would be to make the I -1 zone more of a zone for employment, where commerce would have a limited role. The rezoning of land adjacent to the freeway should accommodate commercial development demand in this area for some time to come. Moreover, the PUD ordinance will add flexibility for mixing uses which did not previously exist. We feel that the draft ordinance amendment would include in the I -1 zone uses which are likely to be compatible with, complementary to, and of comparable intensity to the other uses permitted in the I -1 zone. A copy of the C2 and I -1 permitted and special uses is attached for the Commission's review. We will be prepared to discuss this matter further at Thursday's meeting. It is hoped that the Commission can act on the revised ordinance amendment at that time. C) Granting a variance would be detrimental to the public welfare by undermining the required setback for structures adjacent to major thoroughfares. Voting in favor: Chairman Nelson, Commissioners Malecki, Ainas and Mann. Voting against: none. The motion passed. Chairman Nelson then inquired of the Commission as to whether they recommend the ordinance amendment drafted by staff. Commissioner Malecki asked whether she understood correctly that, if 69th Avenue North becomes a four lane street, it would become a major thoroughfare again. The Secretary responded in the affirmative, adding that it would only be a major thoroughfare where widened to four lanes. He noted that there is no plan as yet to widen 69th west of Brooklyn Boulevard where it is a county road. ACTION RECOMMENDING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REDEFINING MAJOR THOROUGHFARES Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Mann to recommend An Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 of the City Ordinances Regarding the Definition of Major Thoroughfares as all four lane streets and roads. Voting in favor: Chairman Nelson, Commissioners Malecki, Ainas and Mann. Voting against: none. The motion passed. APPLICATION NO. 89003 (City of Brooklyn Center) The Secretary then introduced the next item of business, a request for rezoning approval by the City of Brooklyn Center of the land bordering the freeway, generally south of Freeway Boulevard and north of Summit Drive. The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Commissionr Information Sheet for Application No. 89003 attached). The Secretary added that he would like the Commission to review the ordinance language amending the uses permitted in the I -1 zone. He noted that the language in the ordinance draft would eliminate all C2 uses except service /office uses from the I -1 zone. He reviewed with the Commission some of the C2 uses that would be eliminated, including retail sales, restaurants, and some service uses. He stated that the Commission should take a close look at what would be taken out of the I -1 zone. He stated that the initial concern was to prevent fast food restaurants and budget motels at the northwest corner of Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard. He stated that he recommended that the Commission not go as far as the draft ordinance, but rather consider allowing the permitted C2 uses in the I -1 zone, while excluding the special uses such as fast food restaurants and transient lodging. In response to a question from Chairman Nelson as to the vacant parcels involved, the Secretary showed the Commission a map of the commercial and industrial park and pointed out existing vacant parcels in the I -1 zone and the parcels that would be rezoned under the proposed rezoning. Commissioner Ainas stated that he felt the proposed ordinance covers the things that he would not like to see in the I -1 zone, including retail centers. He stated that he did not think a restaurant would go on the I -1 zoned land remaining. Chairman Nelson asked whether the ordinance would eliminate a dining facility. The Secretary responded in the affirmative, but added that he would not recommend going that far. He stated that hew would ld also allow retail uses in the I -1 zone. He noted that there is some retail that would still be allowed as an accessory use to manufacturing, and wholesale, etc. Commissioner Ainas asked whether the City could restrict the type of retail uses that would go into the I -1 zone. He stated that he did not want to see a strip shopping center built in the I -1 zone. The Secretary stated that the Commission could look at ordinance language e in t � 1 -26 -89 _2_ restricting retail establishments in the I -1 zone. He stated that some retail uses have been allowed, such as Schmitt Music and the former Carriage House use west of Shingle Creek. He admitted that allowing retail uses in the I -1 zone could open up the possibility of a strip shopping center, but he doubted that such a use would be proposed. Commissioner Ainas acknowledged that a strip shopping center was not expected, but he would still like to prevent it. Mr. Al Beisner, the representative of Richardson and Sons, the owner of much of the vacant land left north of the freeway, commented on the ordinance amendment changes. Chairman Nelson asked about the possibility of restaurants at Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard. Mr. Beisner stated that he had talked to representatives of a couple of restaurants interested in locating at the northwest corner of Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard. The Secretary briefly reviewed the areas proposed for rezoning to C2 and asked Mr. Beisner to comment on the reality and potential for the I -1 zone. Mr. Beisner stated that he had contacts with a company that wanted to put a furniture showroom similar to Schmitt Music west of the Schmitt Music site. He also stated that a restaurant could be proposed at the northwest corner of Freeway Boulevard and Shingle Creek Parkway. He stated that the area at Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard is a very popular corner and will be in the future. He predicted that the industrial building at the northeast corner of Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard would probably be demolished and redeveloped in the next five years or so. He stated that he understood the aim of the ordinance amendment, but would still like to allow restaurants in the I -1 zone. Commissioner Malecki stated that it sounded as if the vision Mr. Beisner had of the land along Freeway Boulevard involved more commercial than industrial uses. Mr. Beisner stated that that could be what works out. He stated, that because of the first ring suburb location of the industrial park, the City would not see much warehousing proposed in this area, but would see more service - oriented uses. He stated that he did not want to see the City zone out future possibilities for the industrial park. Commissioner Ainas asked whether Mr. Beisner foresaw a strip shopping center in the I -1 zone. Mr. Beisner answered in the negative, but stated that a retail showroom /warehouse type use, similar to Schmitt Music might be proposed. The Secretary pointed out that what spurred the rezoning proposal was interest on the part of fast food restaurants and budget motels to locate at Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard. He stated that staff did not believe such uses would reflect well on the industrial park and the Planning Commission and City Council had concurred with that judgement. He went on to explain that the uses south of Freeway Boulevard were basically commercial in nature even though they were located in the industrial park zoning district. He stated that staff had become concerned that the City would be unable to defend in court a denial of a special use permit for a fast food restaurant and a budget motel since similar uses had been allowed in the area south of Freeway Boulevard. Commissioner Ainas asked whether the City could distinguish between a large and a small restaurant in its use regulations. The Secretary stated that the City already distinguishes between convenience food restaurants and other eating establishments. He also pointed out that a liquor license requires a restaurant to have at least 150 dining seats. Commissioner Malecki asked whether Schmitt Music wouldn't fit under the category of retail sales as an accessory use to wholesale and warehousing uses. The Secretary stated that it possibly could, but that that building was originally an appliance showroom and warehouse for Kennedy and Cohen. Commissioner Malecki noted that there had been educational uses in the I -1 zone such as a dance studio. The Secretary also pointed out some other uses that had been allowed, including gymnasiums. 1 -26 -89 -3- Mr. Beisner stated that he was concerned that the City not send the message that some good things for the industrial park would be kept out. The Secretary suggested that the application could be tabled until the next study meeting when a Comprehensive Plan amendment would be brought back for the Commission's consideration. He added that, in the interim, staff could get further input on potential uses from Mr. Beisner. PUBLIC HEARING (Application No. 89003) Chairman Nelson then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked whether anyone else wished to comment on the proposed rezoning. Hearing no one, he called for a motion to table the application and continue the public hearing until the next study meeting. ACTION TABLING APPLICATION NO. 89003 AND CONTINUING PUBLIC HEARING (Application No. 89003 - City of Brooklyn Center ) Motion by Commissioner Malecki, seconded by Commissioner Ainas, to table Application No. 89003 and continue the public hearing. Voting in favor: Chairman Nelson, Commissioners Malecki, Ainas and Mann. Voting against: none. The motion passed. Chairman Nelson added that he would like to see language that would allow an upscale type restaurant in the I -1 zone, but definitely not a fast food restaurant. DISCUSSION ITEM a) Residential Facilities The Secretary then introduced the topic of how to regulate community based residential i ential facilities within the City. e pointed Y p d out that the City as retained Donn Wiski as a consultant to help he City y based P y develop regulations governing community e residential facilities. • sties. He noted also that the City has retained Peter Patchin to study property value changes that occur due to the location of group homes in residential neighborhoods. He informed the Commission that the preliminary results of Mr. PatchinIs study do not appear to support the contention that property values decline when a group home is located in a residential neighborhood. Mr. Donn Wiski, of Resolution, Inc., then distributed to the Planning Commission copies of a preliminary report entitled Community Based Residential Facilities Regulatory Framework Evaluation. Mr. Wiski then reviewed with the Commission some of the graphs and tables in the report. Mr. Wiski stated that one key term used in zoning regulations is the residential unit and how that unit is defined. Mr. Wiski stated that, many years ago, cities had a mixture of land uses within a given district. He stated that zoning regulations for some time then sought to separate uses into homogeneous districts, but that now regulations were moving back in the direction of allowing some mixture of uses within districts. He cited Riverplace as an example of a mixed use development. He added that court decisions have been moving toward a more liberal definition of the family unit to include group occupancies as well as family occupancies. Mr. Wiski pointed out that there has been a decline in state hospital occupancy over the last 30 years. He stated that the trend toward deinstitutionialization has been matched by more people coming from single family homes into supervised living facilities. He informed the Commission that there are far more offenders living in s g supervised living g arrangements than are actually confined in prisons or jails. Mr. 1 -2E -89 -4- Wiski told the Commission that the City cannot discriminate in deciding who can live where. He reviewed with the Commission a table which summarized the types of community based residential facilities that operate under various state rules. He stated that the task of the Commission is to develop a land use regulation to overlay these operational rules governing residential facilities. He stated one potential area of regulation would be the size of the facility. He pointed out that supervised living facilities tend to be smaller in number of clients than those where total care is offered, such as nursing homes, which tend to be large institutions. Mr. Wiski reviewed various ways to distinguish facilities, among them: living arrangement, living support, support type and facility size or level of activity. He suggested that it should be possible to distinguish between independent living facilities and service dependent living facilities. He added that regulations should cover what is permitted in various districts and number of persons per housing unit. Mr. Wiski then reviewed various implementation options, including: a) do nothing b) comply with State preemption c) revise definitions of family and supportive housing, and d) adopt regulations including: permitted uses with conditions, special uses with special conditions, and a separate special use permit process. Mr. Wiski then reviewed with the Commission policy considerations dealing with group homes, including district uses, new districts, and regulations or conditions governing group homes. Chairman Nelson asked Mr. Wiski whether his task was to help the City devise regulations to deal with community based residential facilities. Mr. Wiski responded in the affirmative and stated that it was important for the City to have a Policy and regulations in place before proposals for group homes come forth. Commissioner Malecki asked whether there were other communities that have such policies. Mr. Wiski responded in the affirmative, mentioning Plymouth and Eden Prairie among other cities that have dealt with the issue. He stated that each community has to look at the issue and devise a policy for itself. The Secretary explained that the City had contracted for a broader based study than just dealing with the Bill Kelly House. He stated that there were concerns regarding property values and safety impacts of community based residential facilities. He added that the City can only regulate land use aspects of community based residential facilities, not operational considerations. He stated that community based residential facilities will be here, whether we like them or not. He stated that legal decisions have been laid down protecting the rights of facility residents to locate in residential zoning districts and limiting the scope of local regulation. He explained that Mr. Wiski is laying out possibilities that the City can have for regulating such facilities, but that the State has preempted some of the decisions. Mr. Wiski recommended that the regulations set conditions for community based residential facilities and, if they are met, such facilities should be allowed. Chairman Nelson concluded that the Commission is being told that it cannot say no and get away with it. Mr. Wiski responded in the affirmative and reiterated that cities cannot discriminate on the basis of who can live where. The Secretary commented that one option would be to allow group homes as a permitted use with limited occupancies consistent with State law and not have any special use category. He asked whether the special use process has helped or served any purpose in resolving differences between group home advocates and neighborhood residence. He noted that, in the case of the Bill Kelly House, attitudes have not changed as a result of the public hearings. He went on to explain that the moratorium imposed on 1 -26 -89 -5- group homes was to allow time for a study of possible land use regulations governing group homes. He added that the City cannot deny a facility with 7 to 16 clients in a multiple family zone, since State law mandates that such facilities are permitted uses in multiple family zoning districts. Mr. Wiski commented that, when the State preempted zoning authority on facilities with six or fewer clients, it quieted down the neighborhoods, since there were no public hearings and no debate on whether such a facility could be located in a residential neighborhood. He added, however, that there should be limits as to what can be allowed in both single family and multiple family districts. The Secretary informed the Commission that he has had contacts with people in the neighborhood group (near the Bill Kelly House) and with a legal representative of the Bill Kelly House. He stated that he would expect people to show up at future meetings where these regulations will be discussed. He concluded by stating that the issue before the Commission is how to regulate community based residential facilities generally, not just the Bill Kelly House. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Commissioner Ainas to adjourn the meeting of the Planning Commission. The motion passed unanimously. The Planning Commission adjourned at 10:06 p.m. Chairman 1 -26 -89 -6- Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No, 89003 Applicant: City of Brooklyn Center Location: Generally between I94 and Freeway Boulevard from Shingle Creek to Days Inn and between I94 and Summit Drive between Shingle Creek Parkway and Highway 100. Request: Rezoning The City requests that the land bordering on the freeway (north and south) south of Freeway Boulevard and north of Summit Drive be rezoned from I1 (Industrial Park) to C2 (General Commerce). The land in question is partially vacant and partially developed. It includes the Holiday Inn, La Casita Restaurant, Econolodge (formerly Thrifty Scot), Budgetel, and Earle Brown Bowl north of the freeway. South of the freeway it includes Brookdale Corporate Centers I, II and III, the Earle Brown Farm, and the Earle Brown Office Tower. Many adjacent vacant parcels are also included. Please refer to the attached area map for a designation of the properties included in this rezoning proposal. Background The principal impetus to the proposed rezoning is a desire on the part of the City to make the I -1 zone more truly an industrial park zone primarily for office, warehouse, light manufacturing, some service uses, and wholesale trade. Proposed along with the rezoning is an ordinance amendment that would eliminate from the I -1 zone certain special uses allowed in the C2 zoning district, including transient lodging, convenience food restaurants, bowling alleys, movie theatres, gymnasiums, eating establishments offering live entertainment, etc. Many permitted uses in the C2 zoning district, including retail sales and eating establishments not offering live entertainment would continue to be allowed by special use permit. The Commission may wish to recommend eliminating these uses as well. To do so would make Schmitt Music nonconforming (though perhaps their sales could be compreheded as accessory to a wholesale or warehouse function). Nevertheless, we would not favor the development of a strip shopping center at the northwest corner of Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard. To prevent that would require eliminating most retail sales from the I -1 zoning district or rezoning that area to perhaps C1A, allowing only service /office uses with no height limitation. The City staff have received, over the past few years, a number of inquiries regarding the land at the northwest corner of Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard. Among them have been inquiries into the possibility of developing the area for fast -food restaurants and /or budget motels. We believe the parcel at the northwest corner of Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard is prime land and that its development will reflect favorably or unfavorably on the industrial park and, to some extent, on the City itself. We do not believe that development of a fast -food restaurant and /or a budget motel would be appropriate for this key parcel. However, they would be allowed by special use permit under the current ordinance. A concept plan f p p or a high-rise office building as als o submitted g g approximately two years ago, but has gone nowhere due to the excess of such space in the northern suburbs at this time. Nevertheless, we believe such a development would be more appropriate in that location. The ordinace amedment proposed would continue to allow office uses in the I -1 zone by special use permit. Simply eliminating ertain commercial g uses from the I -1 zone would result in many uses between 194 and Freeway Boulevard, and the transient lodging proposed for the Earle Brown Farm, becoming nonconforming uses. This is certainly not a desirable 1 -26 -89 _1_ Application No. 8 continued result. The alternative is to rezone most of the I -1 land south of Freeway Boulevard to C2, recognizing the commercial nature of the development in this area and allowing it to continue as conforming. We propose that the City do the latter and, thus, this application is put forward for consideration. Guidelines for Evaluating Rezonings All rezoning requests are evaluated under a set of guidelines contained in Section 35 -208 of the Zoning Ordinance (attached). The following comments are offered to address the guidelines. (a) Is there a clear and public need or benefit? The effect of the rezoning and ordinance amendment is to reduce the overlap between the I -1 and C2 districts and to explicitly plan for commercial rather than industrial development on the land near the freeway. The proposed rezoning ratifies a trend which has been prevalent in the area near the freeway and limits the uses which may be developed in the industrial park. The resulting benefit is that commercial uses will be allowed to locate near the freeway, while the industrial park will be reserved for industrial and office uses. We believe there is benefit to this action because it will prevent or reduce the commercialization of the industrial park and will preserve it as a place for employment rather than a place for trade and commerce. (b) Is the proposed zoning consistent with and compatible with surrounding land use classifications? South of the freeway, the zoning district abutting the existing I -1 zone is the C2 zoning district; so, of course, the new C2 zoning designation will be compatible. North of the freeway, the new C2 district will abut the I -1 zoning district. While the proposed ordinance amendment will create a greater distinction between the two zones, we certainly do not believe these zones are incompatible. (c) Can all permitted uses in the proposed zoning district be contemplated for development of the subject property? We believe they can. The area in question abuts the freeway and has almost no residential abutment. There need be no extensive buffers which might compromise the buildability of certain parcels. Nor are there any limitations such as gas stations not abutting Rl, R2 or R3 zoned property. (d) Have there been substantial physical or zoning classification changes in the area since the subject property was zoned? One major physical change has been the redesign of the Highway 100/194 interchange eliminating some movements and the opening up of the Shingle Creek Parkway /I94 interchange. These roadway modifications have brought much more traffic to Shingle Creek Parkway, especially south of the freeway where it is the most direct route to Brookdale. The increased traffic at this interchange has tended to boost 1 -26 -89 _2_ Application No. 89003 continued commercial demand for the area and has led to the construction of two motels and a restaurant north of the freeway and three major office buildings south of the freeway. As to zoning changes, there have been other rezonings of land south of the freeway from I -1 to C2. Apparently, after the adoption of the 1968 Zoning Ordinance, most of the land between County Road 10 and I94 was zoned I -1. As the system of roadways was completed in the late 60's and early 70's, development proposals for commercial use were approved with rezoning of land to C2, ultimately to its present configuration. Prior to 1973, C2 uses were not allowed in the I -1 zone. Then, in 1973, an ordinance amendment was adopted allowing certain C2 uses by special use permit. Later, more C2 uses were allowed as designated in the present ordinance. One rationale behind the amendment was to give the City more discretion in approving commercial uses near the freeway. The I -1 zoning was, thus, retained and special use permits were granted for the commercial uses north of the freeway and the office buildings ng south of the freeway. The rezoning proposal and ordinance amendment before the Commission represent a change in strategy. We no longer have confidence that certain C2 uses can be denied, even though they are special uses in the I -1 district. In effect, ect we are saying that the trend of commercialization near the freeway should be ratified by rezoning where it has already occurred, but should be prevented - by ordinance amendment - from further infiltrating the industrial park. The Shingle Creek Parkway freeway interchange has made the land close to the freeway too valuable for traditional industrial development. Since I -1 uses are not likely to be built on the land in question, and since denial of special uses is at least difficult, we recommend the proposed rezoning and ordinance amendment as the best strategy for controlling development in the future. (e) In the case of City - initiated rezoning proposals, is there a broad public purpose evident? The public purpose of the rezoning is to more clearly define both in terms of real estate and ordinance regulations the location and content of the industrial park. To do that, it is necessary to place freeway- oriented commercial development in the commercial district - C2, and tighten up the allowable uses in the I -1 zone. This action will, we hope, preserve the character of the industrial park while allowing commercial uses to locate on the most valuable land next to the freeway. (f) Will the subject property bear fully the ordinance development restrictions for the proposed zoning district? Yes. All the properties in question are of adequate size for commercial development and face no extraordinary buffer or use limitations because of residential abutment. (g) Is the subject property generally unsuited for uses permitted in the present zoning district, with respect to size, configuration, topography or location? There has never been a formal proposal for an industrial use on the parcels contained 1-26 -89 -3- Application No. 89003 continued in the rezoning proposal. There are existing commercial uses and office buildings which have been approved by special use permit in the I -1 zone. We would expect that even if the I -1 zoning remained, development proposals would likely be for commercial rather than industrial uses. The topography of the land in question is suitable for either use. The recent replat of the land south of Freeway Boulevard and east and south of the Earle Brown Bowl has created a number of smaller parcels most likely for development of small commercial establishments, not large speculative industrial buildings which characterize the industrial park. The primary factor of unsuitability is location. Because of their proximity to the freeway and the Shingle Creek Parkway interchange, the parcels to be rezoned are more suitable for commercial development with freeway visibility. Such uses are presently allowed in the I -1 zone, but will not be in the future if the proposed ordinance amendment is adopted. (h) Will the rezoning result in the expansion of a zoning district warranted by: 1) Comprehensive Planning; 2) the lack of developable land in the proposed zoning district; or 3) the best interests of the community? The land covered by the rezoning is contained in areas 6a and 11 of the Land Use Revisions Map in the City's Comprehensive Plan (attached). Area 6a covers most of the parcels north of the freeway. The recommendation for 6a is "light industrial." The proposed zoning and a number of existing land uses in the area are clearly not light industrial, though the zoning has been for light industrial (and by special use permit, commercial uses). A Comprehensive Plan amendment may be warranted, creating a separate area for commercial development north of the freeway. Area 11, south of the freeway, was the subject of a Comprehensive Plan amendment in 1986 in which the recommendation for the area was changed from service /office to "Mixed Use Development (including High Density, High -Rise Residential, Service /Office and General Commerce)." The proposed C2 zoning is certainly consistent with this Plan recommendation. As to to the lack of developable land in the C2 zoning district, there is vacant C2 zoned land near 66th Avenue North and Highway 252 in the northeast neighborhood. However, with the upcoming construction of the City County Credit Union, there is no more vacant C2 land left in the vicinity of the Earle Brown Farm. As to the best interests of the community, we would argue that preserving the industrial park as a place of employment and keeping commercial uses in areas for the most part south of Freeway Boulevard is in the best interests of the community. The present zoning designation and use restrictions do not, we feel, adequately protect against the "commercialization" of the industrial park. We believe such commercialization is detrimental to the industrial park in terms of its character, aesthetics, traffic control and parcelization. Reducing the options for development in the I -1 zone is the only way of distinguishing clearly between the I -1 and C2 zoning districts and limiting commercialization to appropriate locations. (i) Does the proposal demonstrate merit beyond the interests of an owner or owners of an individual parcel? This is not an owner - initiated rezoning. The effect of the rezoning will be to make some commercial uses which are now special uses, permitted uses. At the same time, 1 -26 -89 -4- Application No. 89003 continued industrial uses will be prohibited. We believe the net effect for the property owners will be somewhat positive, but not really to the detriment of the community. It seems clear from past history that the development of the subject property would in all likelihood be commercial even under the I -1 zoning. The proposed rezoning recognizes this reality and zones for it openly. Procedure Normally, rezoning applications are tabled and referred to a neighborhood advisory group for review and comment. However, there is no neighborhood advisory group for the commercial and industrial park in the center of town. The Planning Commission itself serves that function. A public hearing has been scheduled for this meeting and notices have been sent. The Commission should open the public hearing and take whatever comments are offered. The Commission may certainly table the application if it wishes to and /or direct staff to prepare a resolution concerning the matter. We recommend that any favorable action on the rezoning be accompanied by action on the draft ordinance amendment also before the Commission. 1 -26 -89 -5- MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA MARCH 2, 1989 STUDY SESSION CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER The Planning Commission met in study session and was called to order by Chairman Mike Nelson at 7:31 p.m. ROLL CALL Chairman Mike Nelson, Commissioners Molly Malecki, Wallace Bernards, and Kristen Mann. Also present were Director of Planning and Inspection Ronald Warren, City Engineer Bo Spurrier and Planner Gary Shallcross. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - FEBRUARY 16, 1989 Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Bernards to approve the minutes of the February 16, 1989 meeting as submitted. Voting in favor: Chairman Nelson, Commissioners Malecki and Bernards. Voting against: none. Not voting: Commissioner Mann. The motion passed. APPLICATION N0. 8900 (Cit of Broo klyn 3 ( Center Y ) Following the Chairman's explanation, the Secretary introduced the first item of business, a request for approval of a rezoning from I -1 to C2 of the land generally lying near the freeway between Shingle Creek and Highway 100. The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 89003 attached). The Secretary also reviewed with the Commission the draft ordinance amendment regarding special uses in the I -1 zone. He explained that all of the uses that would be eliminated were special uses. He went on to explain that there have been amendments to the I -1 zone permitted uses in the past that have allowed more and more commercial uses by special use permit. He stated that the concern arose last year that the City would be unable to deny a special use permit for a convenience food restaurant and a budget rate motel at the northwest corner of Freeway Boulevard and Shingle Creek Parkway. He explained that the amended I -1 zone special uses would eliminate transient lodging and convenience food restaurants as special uses in the I -1 zone. He added that gas stations and multiple tenant retail centers would also be excluded. He noted, however, that single tenant retail buildings offering for sale large ticket items such as furniture and appliances would be allowed by special use permit. He stated that he would consult with the City Attorney regarding the legality of limiting retail uses to single tenant uses. The Secretary then went on to review with the Commission the draft resolution on the amendment of the Comprehensive Plan and the draft resolution regarding the proposed rezoning. He explained that there should be a public hearing for both the Comprehensive Plan amendment and the rezoning. Chairman Nelson stated that he thought the ordinance amendment would regulate eating establishments by setting a minimum number of seats. He asked why live entertainment was selected as a describing element. The Secretary responded that eating establishments are allowed as a permitted use in the C2 zoning district, but that eating establishments offering live entertainment are classified as a special use in the C2 zone and would also be a special use in the I -1 zone. 3 -2 -89 _1_ In response to a question from Chairman Nelson regarding the possible legal challenge to the types of retail uses allowed, the Secretary stated that he thought you could distinguish between establishments offering for sale large ticket items such as furniture and appliances, and those which offer a broader range of products. Chairman Nelson asked whether a Holiday warehouse would be permitted in the I -1 zone. The Secretary responded in the negative, noting that Holiday sells a variety of items, some of which are not big ticket items. Commissioner Bernards asked whether a single tenant establishment implied a separate building. The Secretary responded in the affirmative, explaining establishments could not be attached in multiple tenant buildings. PUBLIC HEARING (Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Application No. 89003) Chairman Nelson then opened the meeting for a public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan amendment and on Application No. 89003 and asked whether anyone present wished to speak regarding the application and amendment. Mr. Al Beisner, representing Richardson and Sons, a prominent owner of land in the area to be rezoned, stated that he was pretty much in agreement with the rezoning and the ordinance amendment proposed by staff. He noted that a computer sales company has applied for space in the Parkway Place building. The Secretary explained that retail sales of goods wholesaled, processed or manufactured on the use site would still be a special use in the I -1 zone. He stated that the concern that staff had at present was whether retail sales could be limited to single tenant buildings. Mr. Beisner stated that he thought the ordinance amendment would clean up the I -1 zone. He added that the industrial park is becoming more service oriented than manufacturing or warehousing oriented. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Mann to close the public hearing on Application No. 89003. The motion passed unanimously. Chairman Nelson suggested that the draft ordinance be amended slightly to comprehend "other uses similar in nature" on the single tenant retail uses acknowledged in the I -1 zone. The Planner added that it might be appropriate to add "as determined by the City Council" rather than giving the discretion to the staff to make such a determination. Chairman Nelson stated that an appeal of a staff determination could always be made if it went against a potential user. The Secretary pointed out that determinations by the City Council are relied on in the C1 and C2 zoning districts as well and such language might be appropriate. Commissioner Bernards asked whether the traffic study which was done a couple of years ago covered the area to be rezoned. The Secretary responded in the affirmative, explaining that the traffic study included Brookdale and the entire commercial and industrial area in the central part of town. Commissioner Bernards stated that he saw the rezoning as having a neutral impact on potential development in the area. The Secretary agreed, explaining that the rezoning would really ratify the trend toward commercial development near the freeway. He explained that the concern was aroused by a proposal to put a convenience food restaurant and a budget motel at the northwest corner of Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard. The City staff and Council did not feel that such a proposal was appropriate and the ordinance amendment and rezoning are intended to address those concerns. Mr. Al Beisner told the Planning Commission that Hardees and Super 8 would be going into the area south of Freeway Boulevard and east of Shingle Creek Parkway in part of 3 -2 -89 -2- the area to be rezoned. The Secretary stated that the City has had no problem with commercial uses south of Freeway Boulevard and that is why that area is being rezoned. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING Motion by Commissioner Mann seconded by Commissioner Malecki to close the public hearing on the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment. The motion passed unanimously. ACTION ADOPTING PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 89 -1 (COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTT RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING AMENDMENT OF CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 82 -255 (COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RELATIVE TO LAND NORTH OF THE FREEWAY AND EAST OF SHINGLE CREEK, ADJACENT TO FREEWAY BOULEVARD Motion by Commissioner Mann seconded by Commissioner Malecki to adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 89 -1, recommending an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan to allow commercial and service /office development in area 6a of Figure 15 of the Comprehensive Plan. Voting in favor: Chairman Nelson, Commissioners Malecki, Bernards and Mann. Voting against: none. The motion passed. ACTION ADOPTING PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 89 - 2 (Application No. 89003 submitted by the City of Brooklyn Center RESOLUTION REGARDING RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF APPLICATION NO. 89003 SUBMITTED BY THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Motion by Commissioner Bernards seconded by Commissioner Mann to adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 89 -2 regarding rezoning Application No. 89003 submitted by the City of Brooklyn Center. Voting in favor: Chairman Nelson, Commissioners Malecki, Bernards and Mann. Voting against: none. The motion passed. MOTION RECOMMENDING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO THE I -1 ZONE SPECIAL USES Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Mann to recommend an ordinance amendment regarding special uses in the I -1 zone and including language acknowledging uses similar in nature as determined by the City Council to the allowable single tenant retail establishments. Voting in favor: Chairman Nelson, Commissioners Malecki, Bernards and Mann. Voting against: none. The motion passed. The Secretary informed the Commission that he would be getting some additional information from Mr. Donn Wiski, the City's consultant on land use regulations on group homes, and would pass it along in the near future. The Secretary also stated that he was grossly mis- stated by the Brooklyn Center Post in its February 23 issue where some quotes were attributed to him regarding clientele in group homes. He noted a number of erroneous quotes and clarified his statement to the Planning Commission. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Commissioner Malecki to adjourn the meeting of the Planning Commission. The motion passed unanimously. The Planning Commission adjourned at 8:17 p.m. Chairman 3 -2 -89 -3- i Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 89003 Applicant: City of Brooklyn Center Location: Generally between 1694 and Freeway Boulevard from Shingle Creek to Days Inn and between 1694 and Summit Drive between Shingle Creek Parkway and Highway 100. Request: Rezoning This City - initiated rezoning was reviewed by the Planning Commission at its January 26 1989 stud meeting. h 9 9 Y g The application was tabled and the public hearing continued to a later date. A Comprehensive Plan amendment has been prepared and a public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan amendment has been called. The parcels affected by the rezoning have been highlighted on the attached area map and are located generally between 1694 and Freeway Boulevard from Shingle Creek to the Days Inn (the Holiday Inn site is also included) and between Summit Drive and 1694 from Shingle Creek Parkway to Highway 100. The existing zoning is I -1 (Industrial Park) and the proposed zoning is C2 (Commerce). Along with the rezoning application is a draft ordinance amendment which would eliminate certain commercial uses from consideration in the I -1 zone (among them transient lodging and convenience food restaurants). As we have indicated in our previous report (attached), one purpose of the rezoning application is to ratify the trend to commercial development where it seems most likely to occur and to limit the possibilities of commercial development in the I -1 zone. The Commission is urged to act on the ordinance concomitant with the rezoning. The Comprehensive Plan amendment covers area 6a from the Land Use Revisions Map of the Comprehensive Plan (attached). That area includes the Holiday Inn site, the LaCasita restaurant, and land south of Freeway Boulevard and east of Shingle Creek Parkway. The land use recommended for area 6a in Table 14 (also attached) of the Plan is light industrial. We recommend broadening that designation to include commercial and service /office uses as well. A draft resolution recommending the Comprehensive Plan amendment is attached for the Commission's review. A resolution relating to the rezoning application is also attached. 3 -2 -89 CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held on the day of , 1989 at p.m. at City Hall, 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway, to consider an Ordinance Amending Chapter 35 of the City Ordinances Regarding Special Uses in the I -1 Zoning District.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Brooklyn Center Planning Advisory Commission to recommend to the City Council, pursuant to Section 35 -202 of the City Ordinances, that City Council Resolution No. 82 -255 (Comprehensive Plan) be amended to allow commercial and service /office development in the area north of Interstate 94 and east of Shingle Creek (adjacent to Freeway Boulevard, area 6a of Table 14) based upon the following findings: 1. Commercial and service /office development has already taken place in this area and has been acknowledged under the existing I -1 zoning. g 2. It is appropriate now to ratify the trend toward commercial development near the Interstate by rezoning a number of parcels to C2. Such a rezoning, however, is not strictly consistent with the Plan recommendation for land north of the Interstate to be developed light industrial. 3. Traffic impact in this area will not be adversely affected by such an ` amendment and this amendment has no adverse effect on any Metropolitan ` systems. _ 4. Such a Comprehensive Plan amendment is in the best interests of the community, given the above considerations.

Existing and proposed development of the parcels to be rezoned is consistent with the C2 zoning designation and in many cases would be inconsistent with the I -1 zoning designation as the I -1 district is amended to exclude certain commercial uses, such as convenience food restaurants, transient lodging and bowling alleys. 3• It is appropriate to ratify the trend of a commercial, as opposed to industrial, development adjacent to Interstate 694 because the Shingle Creek Parkway Interchange has increased the visibility and accessibility of parcels near the Interstate and made them much more appropriate for commercial development. 4. The proposed C2 zoning is consistent with and compatible with surrounding land use classifications. 5. A permitted use in the C2 zoning district can be contemplated for development of the subject property. 6. The property in question will bear fully the ordinance development restrictions of the C2 zoning district. 7. In light of the above, it is believed that the proposed rezoning meets the guidelines for evaluating rezonings set forth in Section 35 -208 of the Brooklyn Center Zoning Ordinance. RESOLUTION NO. 89 -2 Date Chairman ATTEST: Secretary The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Kristen Mann and upon a vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Mike Nelson, Molly Malecki, Wallace Bernards and Kristen Mann and the following voted against the same: none, whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.

D ISCUSSION ITEMS a) Ordinance Amendment Regarding Uses Permitted in the C1, C2 and I -1 Districts and Rezoning Application No. 89003 i The Secretary then introduced a discussion item with the Planning Commission regarding the City initiated rezoning under Application No. 89003 and a companion zoning ordinance amendment which would eliminate some commercial uses from the I -1 zone. The Secretary explained that the City Attorney had had concerns regarding the ordinance amendment recommended by the Planning Commission in March Of 1989. He stated that the staff was also working on a PUD ordinance at the time and that it was decided to hold off the consideration on the amendment to the I -1 zone until the PUD ordinance was in effect. The Secretary added that the PUD ordinance is now effective and that it is, therefore, appropriate to recommend consideration of the rezoning and ordinance amendment. He stated that it was appropriate at this time to reaffirm the actions on the Comprehensive Plan amendment and the rezoning which were taken under Planning Commission Resolution Nos. 89 -1 and 89 -2. The Secretary then reviewed the background of the rezoning application which had been initiated by the City. He stated that one of the reasons the rezoning was initiated was because the owner of some of the industrial land north of the Freeway, Richardson and Sons, began marketing some of their parcels for sale about two years ago and that some of the parties who were interested in those parcels would have made use of them for convenience food restaurants and budget hotels. The Secretary stated that staff did not believe those sorts of uses were appropriate in the I -1 zone, especially in the area north of Freeway Boulevard and were not in 3 -1 -90 2 keeping with the conceptual plans put forth by the owner over the years. The Secretary went on to explain that the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to the I -1 district was amended twice in the past to allow more commercial uses by special use permit in the I -1 zone. He stated that along with those uses, there were standards added to the I -1 zone which were to apply to those commercial uses, namely, that the uses would be of comparable intensity and compatible with existing I -1 uses and other uses allowed in the I -1 zone generally. He explained that the City, at the time it adopted these ordinances, thought it had control over development through its ability to deny a special use permit. He pointed out, however, that recent history of legal cases showed that cities have very little ability to deny a special use permit. He stated that the burden of proof has fallen on the City rather than on the developer. Because of this, staff became concerned when some commercial uses were proposed for the I -1 zone a year and a half ago. Therefore, staff initiated the rezoning application and an ordinance amendment to eliminate some commercial uses from the I -1 zone. The Secretary then showed the Commission a transparency of the areas that were affected by the rezoning application, including the Holiday Inn and the La Casita restaurant and parcels between the freeway and Freeway Boulevard east of Shingle Creek Parkway. He added that there were parcels south of the freeway and east of Shingle Creek Parkway which would also be included in the rezoning. He pointed out that the uses in this area are generally commercial and that none of them would become nonconforming by being rezoned to C2. The Secretary then explained the action that had been taken in March of 1989 to recommend a Comprehensive Plan amendment along with an ordinance amendment. He stated that the Comprehensive Plan amendment was forwarded to the Metropolitan Council for their review and comment and that the Met Council had no objection to the Plan amendment. The Secretary then reviewed with the Commission the contents of a staff memo on the draft ordinance amendment before the Planning Commission. (See memorandum attached). The Secretary explained that the previous ordinance amendment had called for allowing certain single tenant retailers selling large or expensive items to be allowed by special use permit. He stated that the City Attorney ha d expressed d rese p rvations about limiting retail establishments to only single tenant establishments and those selling certain products. He stated that the land use impacts could really not be differentiated from other types of establishments. The Secretary pointed out that the draft ordinance amendment would eliminate retail sales as a principal use in the I -1 zone, but that retail sales as an accessory use to a manufacturing, wholesaling, or warehousing type use would s g yp d till be allowed by special use P ermit. He stated that the Schmitt Music operation would still be considered a conforming use since its retail operation is more of an incidental part of the use of the building rather than the 3 -1 -90 3 principal use. He then reviewed with the Commission uses to be eliminated from the I -1 zone and others to be added by special use permit. Commissioner Bernards asked about projected traffic impact as a result of the ordinance amendment. The Secretary stated that staff do not envision more traffic than was projected by the 1985 Short - Elliott (SEH) Traffic Study of the Industrial Park and the Brookdale area. He stated that the study had projected peak hour traffic that would result from maximum development of this area. He stated that there may have to be some modifications to certain intersections if the traffic levels increase, but that these modifications were foreseen by the traffic study. The Planner indicated that the draft ordinance amendment would make the I -1 zone more of an employment zone rather than a zone open for commerce. He stated that the likely effect of this restriction would be to perhaps increase the 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. peak hour traffic along Shingle Creek Parkway, north of Freeway Boulevard, but that it would reduce the 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. traffic in that area from what it might otherwise be. Commissioner Bernards asked whether any existing uses in the Industrial Park would become nonconforming as a result of the ordinance amendment. The Secretary responded in the negative. The Secretary recommended to the Commission that it reaffirm the actions to amend the Comprehensive Plan and the rezoning and also to act on the draft ordinance amendment. He added that there would be no nonconforming uses in the area to be rezoned to C2. ACTION REAFFIRMING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REZONING APPLICATION NO. 89003 (PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NOS. 89 -1 AND 89 -2) Motion by Commissioner Bernards seconded by Commissioner Mann to reaffirm the Planning Commission's action on the Comprehensive Plan amendment contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 89 -1 and also to reaffirm the rezoning recommendation contained in Planning Commission Resolution No. 89 -2.

MOTION RECOMMENDING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REGARDING USES PERMITTED IN THE C1, C2 AND I -1 ZONING DISTRICTS Motion by Commissioner Mann seconded by Commissioner Sander to recommend adoption of an ordinance amendment regarding uses permitted in the C1, C2 and I -1 zoning districts, especially uses allowed by special use permit in the I -1 zone.

The amendment, explanatory materials supplied and the information submission form will be appended to the city's plan in the Council's files. This concludes the Council's review.

Adopted this day of 19 Mayor ATTEST: Clerk Date of Publication Effective Date (Brackets indicate matter to be deleted, underline indicates new matter.) fay Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION APPROVING A MODIFIED PROJECT PLAN FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PROJECT NO. 01 AND A MODIFIED TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 01 BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council for the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota (City), as follows: Section 2. Recitals 1.01. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Brooklyn Center (HRA) adopted a project plan (Project Plan) for the project area (Project Area) in accordance with Minn Stat Sections 469.001 through 469.047 and a tax increment financing plan (TIF Plan) in accordance with Minn Stat Sections 469.174 through 469.179 (collectively, the Plans) for the Brookwood Project (TIF District) and said Plans were thereafter approved by the city council of the City of Brooklyn Center (City). 1.02. Responsibility for the Project Area and TIF District was shifted from the HRA to the Economic Development Authority for Brooklyn Center (EDA). 1.03. Changes in the public purposes and goals in the Project Area have prompted the EDA to prepare modified Plans. 1.04. The modified Plans are contained in a document entitled "Modified Housing Development Project Plan and Modified Tax Increment Financing Plan (Brookwood)" dated August 16, 1989, now on file with the EDA. 1.05. The modified Plans were referred to the Brooklyn Center planning commission which on November 16, 1989, found that they conform to and are not in conflict with the general plans for the development or redevelopment of the City as a whole. 1.06. On February 26, 1989, the EDA approved the modified Plans for the Project Area and TIF District and referred them to the city council for public hearing and consideration as provided by state statute. 1.07. Copies of the modified Plans have been forwarded to Independent School District No. 286 and Hennepin County along with a notice of the public hearing as required by Minn Stat Sections 469.174 through 469.179 (TIF Act). RESOLUTION NO. 1.08. The city council has fully reviewed the contents of the modified Plans and has this date conducted a public hearing thereon at which the views of all interested persons were heard. Section 2. Findings; Protect plan 2.01. It is hereby found and determined that within the Project Area there exist conditions of economic obsolescence, physical deterioration, underutilization, and inappropriate uses of land. 2.02. It is further specifically found and determined that: a) the land in the Project Area would not be made available for redevelopment without the public intervention and financial assistance described in the modified Plans; b) the modified Project Plan for the Project Area will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the redevelopment of the Project Area by private enterprise; c) the modified Project Plan conforms to the general development plan of the City as set forth in the comprehensive municipal plan. 2.03. The findings in this section are made in compliance with state statute for the purpose of showing the City's intent to exercise, in conjunction with the EDA, the powers granted to the City and the EDA by state statute. Section 3. Findings; Tax Increment Financing District 3.01. It is found and determined that it is necessary and desirable to the sound and orderly development and redevelopment of the Project Area, the TIF District, and the City as a whole, and for the protection and preservation of the public health, safety, and general welfare, that the authority of the TIF Act be exercised by the EDA and the City to provide public financial assistance to the Project Area and TIF District. 3.02. It is further found and determined, and it is the reasoned opinion of the EDA and the City, that the redevelopment of the Project Area and TIF District outlined in the modified Plans could not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that therefore the use of tax increment financing is necessary. RESOLUTION NO. 3.03. The modified TIF Plan conforms to the general plans for development of the City as a whole as set forth in the comprehensive municipal plan. 3.04. The modified TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the redevelopment of the Project Area and TIF District by private enterprise. Section 4. Modified Protect Plan and TIF Plan Adopted 4.01. The modified Project Plan is approved. 4.02. The modified TIF Plan is approved. 4.03. The geographic boundaries of the Project Area have been expanded and are now as outlined in the modified Project Plan. There has been no change to the boundaries of the TIF District as a result of this modification. 4.04. The EDA is requested to file a copy of the modified Plans with the Minnesota commissioner of revenue as required by the TIF Act. 4.05. The city clerk is authorized and directed to transmit a certified copy of the resolution to the EDA. Date Mayor ATTEST: 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.

The commission was concerned about the safety of those using the path. A copy of the commission's meeting minutes are attached for your information. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION Consider the park and recreation commission's recommendation to install lights on the path to the Little League field. PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES director of recreation presented a comparison of 1986 projections to actual experience for Centerbrook Golf Course, which provided answers to many of the questions the commissioners had. Chairman Sorenson questioned some of the information published in the local newspaper regarding the Joslyn site. In particular, the article projected a 1991 -1992 estimated project timeline, and Chairman Sorenson said he thought the time involved would be longer term than this. Councilmember Pedlar said he did not recall any discussion by the city council on the timeframes suggested in the newspaper. The director of recreation noted the City received a letter from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and the land may be useable as a recreation site. Commissioner Sorenson asked if there is anything the commission wishes to do to set the record straight, and after brief discussion, the commission agreed that no further action would be necessary at this time. Commissioner Russell said he has heard favorable reactions to the proposal. Chairman Sorenson requested the priorities established by the city council for 1990 be placed as a discussion item on the March park and recreation commission agenda. STATUS REPORT ON COMMISSION PLAN OF ACTION The director of recreation reviewed a number of items funded in the 1990 budget. Many of these items appear in the commission's plan of action. Commissioner Shinnick noted there is a dark spot on the path approaching the Little League field which is closest to the golf course. The director of recreation said funds are not allocated in the 1990 budget to pay for any additional lighting. After some discussion, there was a motion by Commissioner Shinnick and seconded by Commissioner Pollock to recommend to the city council that a security light be placed on the path to the Little League field near the golf course. The motion passed. Chairman Sorenson asked commissioners to review the plan of action and to assign a timetable to those items designated as pending or not planned. He suggested that items be classified as those to be done in the next year, those to be completed in two to three years, and those to be done in a longer range time period. Councilmember Pedlar suggested that if an item affects safety or security of residents, it should be a high priority. Councilmember Pedlar said he met with someone from Hennepin County to discuss what the county is doing with regard to parks. There was some discussion on the county's regional park and the status of it RECESS The Brooklyn Center park and recreation commission recessed at 8:30 p.m. and reconvened at 8:35 p.m. Councilmember Pedlar left the • 2/20/90 -2- CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER council Meetin Date 3/12/90 Agenda Item Number 13c, REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: PERSONNEL REQUEST FROM THE ASSESSING DEPARTMENT DEPT.

MEMORANDUM TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager FROM: Mark P. Parish, City Assessorj'V,!f,i V DATE: March 8, 1990 RE: Assessing Personnel Request PROPOSAL: To allow the Assessor to assign Assessment Technicians to field data collection duties. The duties would consist primarily of reappraisal inspections of residential properties. While performing these tasks, the Techs would be compensated at a higher rate of pay than their normal rate. The proposed rate is $13.97 per hour. HISTORY: For a number of years, this department has had one full -time appraiser responsible for residential properties. The increase in computerization and use of temporary employees had enabled us to meet our goals and statutory responsibilities. However, the use of temporary employees presents a number of problems: 1) Availability. Unfortunately, there is no school for appraisal trainees, per se. The ideal candidate would have a background in real estate, construction, property tax administration, a high degree of integrity, and above average communication skills. We have been unable to locate and attract individuals of this type to a temporary position. Therefore, a number of compromises must be made in the selection process. 2) Confidence. The majority of the questions raised by the public relate to assessment law or current community issues. While it is possible to train the temporary employees in data collection, it is not feasible to have them deal with these issues. A mishandled question undermines public confidence in the City, not just of these employees. 3) Accuracy. There have been instances in the past years where significant errors and omissions have been made by the trainees. While we do quality control through edits, review, and random monitoring, it is impossible to review each property's data. To sacrifice quality for quantity does nothing but damage the system. 4) Flexibility. In addition to residential reinspections, we occasionally need short -term assistance on other projects. Due to the limited employment term, the time constraints on training, and the preceding issues, we are unable to use the temporary employees as effectively as we will be able to use the Technicians. BENEFITS: 1) Availability. The Techs have available time during the months when our appraisal needs are the greatest. October through March are intensive "clerical" months. April through September are less intensive with available time for other duties. 2) Qualifications. The Technicians have knowledge of the laws pertaining to assessment, knowledge of the City, knowledge of real estate, and knowledge of public relations. The training which would be given in inspection procedures, residential construction, and market interpretation will provide us with more qualified employees who can produce a superior product. 3) Accuracy. These employees have demonstrated their abilities to produce an accurate product. Because they are permanent employees, I believe they will be motivated to continue this. While we will continue quality control, it is believed the assessment will be of higher quality through this proposal. 4) Quantity. In past years, the Appraiser has spent the majority of his time monitoring and directing the temporary employees. This proposal would allow the Appraiser to spend more time working on the reinspections, thereby increasing our efficiency. 5) Flexibility. Because the Technicians have a broad base of knowledge which would be further broadened, they would be available for short -term assistance on other appraisal projects. This tool will allow our office to be more effective and efficient. 6) Staffing review. While our workload varies throughout the year, I would like to test shifting of tasks and responsibilities. This will enable me to determine future staffing needs to more efficiently meet our goals. BUDGET IMPACT: In the 1990 Budget, we had requested an additional Appraiser, but were denied. Instead, additional funds were allocated for temporary employees. Of the $27,000 budgeted, $17,000 would be used for temporary employees for reinspections. (The remaining $10,000 in this budget item is for our part -time Data Entry Operator, a year -round position.) Based on preliminary projections of hours used and duration of this experiment, the increased personnel costs in 1990 would be no more than $10,000, a savings of at least $7,000. CONCLUSION: I believe this proposal will enable the Assessing Department to meet our goals and statutory responsibilities. It will enable me to review our staffing needs to avoid future inefficiencies. It will result in a higher quality assessment at a lower cost.
