The City Manager presented a Resolution Accepting Work Performed under

covering the plantings installed in these improvements. The City Manager
responded affirmatively.
RESOLUTION NO 89 -132
Member Jerry Pedlar introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
7/10/89 -2-

IMPROVEMENTS ON FRANCE AVENUE AND LAKEBREEZE AVENUE)
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Celia Scott, and the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Accepting Work Performed under
Improvement Project 1989 -11 (Installation of 4" DIP Water Main at Garden City
Park). Councilmember Paulson inquired if the work being completed in the plaza
behind City Hall is in conjunction with this contract. The City Manager
responded negatively. He went on to briefly explain the project which is being
worked on in the plaza.
RESOLUTION NO. 89 -133
Member Todd Paulson introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING WORK PERFORMED UNDER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 1989 -11
(INSTALLATION OF 4" DIP WATER MAIN AT GARDEN CITY PARK)
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Jerry Pedlar, and the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Amending the 1989 General Fund Budget,
and Accepting Bid and Awarding Contract for Heating System Improvements at
Municipal Garage, Improvement Project 1989 -04, Contract 1989 -D. The Director of
Public Works stated the 1989 budget includes an appropriation of $25,500 for the
installation of a new heating system at the municipal garage. He noted,
unfortunately, the estimate which was obtained for this work did not include the
cost for installing heating units in the vehicle wash rack area. He explained
staff felt it is essential to install these heating units to assure a balanced
heating system which will serve the City's needs. He noted staff had instructed
the consultant to include these units into the base bid but to provide an
optional deduct alternate which would allow deletion of those units from the
current contract. The Director of Public Works stated if the Council wishes to
stay close to the budget appropriation, the Council should consider accepting
the bid with alternate A -1. He noted if the Council wishes to install the
heating units in the vehicle wash rack area, he would recommend accepting the
bid from Minnegasco and noted the project would be approximately $4,051 over
budget.
RESOLUTION NO 89 -134
Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:

the Removal of Shade Trees (Order No. DST 07/10/89). Councilmember Scott
7/10/89 -3-
inquired if the City was turning River Ridge Park over to Suburban Hennepin
Regional Park District. The City Manager responded affirmatively.
Councilmember Scott inquired if it would be possible to turn the park over to
them before the City has to pay for the removal of these trees. She noted there
were about 42 trees on this particular list, and she did not believe the City
should have to pay for the removal of these trees. The City Manager stated he
would check into it with the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District. A brief
discussion then ensued regarding maintenance of the area once it is turned over
to the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District.

the plan for relocation and reconfiguration of the entrance to Brookdale Square.

PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDING DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT BOUNDARY LINES
The City Manager stated staff is recommending the City Council open the public
hearing regarding the amendment of development district boundary lines and then
defer action until the September 25, 1989, City Council meeting. He noted this
would allow staff time to gather all figures regarding the tax increment
projects.
Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on an
amendment to the development district boundary lines. He inquired if there was
anyone present who wished to speak at the public hearing. There being none, he
entertained a motion to table the public hearing to the September 25, 1989, City
Council meeting.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Paulson
to table the public hearing on an amendment to development district boundary
lines to September 25, 1989. The motion passed unanimously.
DISCUSSION ITEM
PURCHASE OF POLICE DEPARTMENT PORTABLE RADIOS AND HANDGUN REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
The City Manager stated during the recent technical review of the City's radio
equipment, it was determined that many of the existing portable radios are in
need of replacement. He noted the officers share the existing portable radios
from shift to shift, and these units are basically on the go almost 24 hours a
day, seven days a week. He noted the net result is they receive a lot of
jostling and banging around beyond what normal single shift use would be. He
stated staff is proposing to increase the life expectancy of the new units and
their reliability by purchasing sufficient units to assign one to each officer
so that it will stay with that officer and not need to be passed on shift to
shift. He noted the majority of the cost for these portable radios could be
paid for from the forfeiture account. He stated approximately $7,500 in
contingency funds would be necessary to complete the purchases.
7/10/89 -5-
The City Manager stated the Police Department has also recommended that the City
start the process of replacing the current revolver type handguns with semi-
automatic weapons. He pointed out the transition from revolver to semi-
automatic pistols requires a major commitment in time and money. He noted the
officer transition training needs to be comprehensive and noted other Police
Departments have utilized 20 hours of training per officer, including classroom
and live fire time. He then went on to briefly review the schedule proposed by
the Police Chief for purchase and training for the handguns.
Councilmember Cohen entered the meeting at 7:42 p.m.
The City Manager stated because it will take approximately one year to complete
the selection process and training, he is asking the Council to express concept
approval for the replacement of the revolvers at this time so that the planning
process can proceed. Councilmember Pedlar stated he believes the need is there
for new radios and handguns, but he feels the City should move faster in
acquiring the new weapons. The City Manager stated staff does not believe they
could move any faster than what has been outlined in the schedule. He noted the
need for thorough training is very important from a safety and liability
standpoint. Councilmember Pedlar inquired how many departments in the area are
using semi - automatic weapons. The Police Chief stated most departments are
allowing use of these weapons but are not furnishing them for their officers.
Councilmember Pedlar stated he supports the purchase of the radios and the
weapons, but he has a problem connecting the two together because of the
proposed timeline for purchase of the weapons. Councilmember Cohen stated if
Councilmember Pedlar's concern is with the timeline, then the issue should not
be delayed tonight. He stated it may be possible to approve the concept this
evening and ask staff to revise the timeline.
Councilmember Scott inquired what the policy will be if an officer cannot adjust
to the semi - automatic weapon. The Police Chief stated through the training
process an officer should be able to adjust to the semi - automatic weapon. He
stated if for some reason an officer cannot adjust, he would be allowed to
continue using the service revolver. He noted the department would allow for
additional training if necessary.
A brief discussion then ensued regarding revision of the timeline for purchase
and use of the semi - automatic weapons.
RESOLUTION NO. 89 -140
Member Philip Cohen introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF PORTABLE RADIOS, AMENDING THE 1989
GENERAL FUND BUDGET, AND APPROPRIATING FORFEITED PROPERTY
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Celia Scott, and the motion passed unanimously.
There was a motion by Councilmember Pedlar and seconded by Councilmember Paulson
directing staff to revise the proposed timeline for purchase, training, and use
of the semi - automatic weapons by October 15, 1989. The motion passed
unanimously.
7/10/89 -6-
TEMPORARY ON -SALE INTOXICATING LIQUOR LICENSE FOR ST ALPHONSUS FUN FAIR
The Cit Manager stated St. Alphonsus Catholic Church has submitted an
application for a three -day temporary on -sale liquor license.
There was a motion by Councilmember Pedlar and seconded by Councilmember Scott
to approve issuance of a temporary on -sale liquor license for St. Alphonsus
Catholic Church. The motion passed unanimously.
OTHER BUSINESS
The City Manager presented a Resolution Approving Sick Leave and Vacation
Benefits for the New City Engineer.
RESOLUTION NO 89 -141

The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Philip Cohen, and the motion passed unanimously.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
P � Y g
FROM: Geralyn R. Barone, Personnel Coordinator
DATE: July 18, 1989
SUBJECT: Employee Assistance Program
In 1977, the Brooklyn Center City Council adopted a "Statement of Policy for the
Employee Assistance Program." The policy (attached) established a program in
Brooklyn Center and defines the purpose of the program.
The policy established a procedure whereby employees experiencing chemical,
financial, marital, or other problems which may job "ob P erformance could
voluntarily seek professional diagnostic and referral services. When possible,
employee benefits, such as sick leave and hospitalization, can be used for
treatment or counseling. All contact with the diagnostic and referral service
is confidential.
One other option available under the program is a supervisory referral, in
contrast to the self referral, under which the employee voluntarily uses the
service; under a supervisory referral, a supervisor may refer an employee to the
diagnostic and referral service if job performance is affected.
The City Council selected the Metropolitan Clinic of Counseling, Inc. to provide
diagnostic and referral services under the City's program. The service is
provided through an annual contract paid by the City and there is no direct
charge to employees. If an employee is referred to some form of treatment and
the employee chooses to participate in the recommended treatment, such cost is
assumed by the employee or his or her medical insurance coverage.
COST OF PROGRAM
The Metropolitan Clinic of Counseling, Inc. offers a fee schedule to public
sector employers which is based on a utilization rate of the program. Private
sector employers are charged a flat rate. Essentially, the cost of a program
with a utilization rate increases as usage increases. The past cost of the
program and the utilization rates are shown in the following table:

The fee schedule for the 1989 -1990 period will increase in two ways. The rate
per employee is increasing by 6.259. Note that this is the first rate increase
since 1987. In addition, overall calculations are based on the number of
employees; this has increased by three percent since 1988. The fee schedule is
as follows:
Base retainer fee $8.50 x 134 = $1,139.00
(0 - 3% utilization)
UTILIZATION FEE
3.01 - 4% usage $11.34 1employee = $1,519.56
4.01 - 59 usage $14.17 1employee = $1,898.78
5.01% or more = Maximum fee $17.00 1employee = $2,278.00
Maximum cost of the program will not exceed $2,278.00.
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
The services to employees provided by the Employee Assistance Program include an
assessment of the problem and its severity, the development of an individualized
treatment plan, assistance in obtaining appropriate and effective treatment, and
follow up to review the treatment results. If the employee and the employee
assistance counselor decide that further professional treatment is advisable,
the cost of future treatment will be the responsibility of the employee or his
or her insurance provider.
A confidential summary report of the 1988 -1989 contract period is attached to
this memorandum.
Other services offered by this Employee Assistance Program are a series of
seminars which can be offered to employees at no charge to the City. Current
seminar topics include stress management, physical fitness, building healthy
relationships, and nutrition basics.

Statement of Policy -
Employee Assistance Program
City of Brooklyn Center
The City of Brooklyn Center recognizes. that a wide range of problems, not
directly associated with an employee's job responsibilities, can affect job
performance. In most cases, the employee will overcome such personal
problems independently and the employee's job performance will not be -
affected.
In other cases, usual supervisory assistance or discipline will serve to
motivate or guide the employee to solve his or her problems and the employee's -
job performance will return *to an acceptable level. In some instances, neither
the efforts and resources of the employee nor the guidance by the supervisor
has the desired effect of resolving the employee's problems. In such cases,
unsatisfactory job performance may persist over a period of time, either on a
constant or intermittent basis.
-
The City of Brooklyn Center believes it is in the best interest of the employee',
the employee's family and the City to provide an employee service which deals
with such persistent problems. Beginning Tune 15, 1977 it is the policy of the
City of Brooklyn Center to handle such employee problems within the following
framework:
1. The City f Brooklyn a a nd
l,l n ente 's concerned with the health Y Y
C r i once
well -being of its employees but it has no desire to interfere
with employees' private lives. The administration will be
concerned with an employee's personal problems only when job
performance is adversely affected or when problems reflect dis-
credit on the City.
2. This policy applies to all regular full -time employees of the
City of Brooklyn Center regardless of their job title or
responsibilities.
3. The program is available to families and dependents of
employees as well as the employees themselves since it
Is recognized that problems at home can have an adverse
effect on an employee's ability to function while at
• 4. If. employees or their dependents. realize that they have
personal problems that may benefit from the assistance
provided by the Employee Assistance Program, they are
encouraged to seek assistance on their own and will b_ e
supported in efforts to do so. -
S. Participation in the rogram will* not jeo� ardize an employee's
P P
,fob security, promotional opportunities,.or reputation: '
Page 2
Statement of Policy
Employee Assistance Program
6. All records and discussions of personal problems will be
handled in a confidential manner as are other medical records.
Records will be
kept b the '
. P y diagnostic and referral agency and
will not become part of the employee's personnel file.
7. Past experience shows that a significant portion of the problems
encountered in such programs are related to problems involving
• the use of alcohol and /or other drugs. Yt will be a policy of the
City of Brooklyn Center that chemical dependency is generally
recognized as a treatable illness and assuming the cooperation of
the employee in treatment, will be dealt with as such.
8. When performance problems are not corrected with normal super-
visory attention, employees may be referred to assistance to _.._
determine if personal problems are causing unsatisfactory per-
formance. If performance problems are corrected, no further _
action will be taken_. If performance problems persist, the
employee will be subject to normal corrective procedures.
9. In cases where it is necessary, employees may be granted sick
leave, vacation or unpaid leave of absence for time for treatment
or rehabilitation on the same basis as it is granted for health or
disability problems.
10: Employee compliance with the program is voluntary. If
an employee is referred to the Employee Assistance Program in
lieu of other corrective or disciplinary measures and chooses
not to participate in the Employee Assistance Program, then
normal corrective measures will apply. Refusal to participate
cannot be used as evidence to evaluate job performance.
11. There is no charge for the diagnostic and referral services,
however, if costs are incurred for rehabilitation services that are
not covered by insurance or other benefits, that cost will be the
responsibility of the employee.
12. The program is not designed to provide ongoing treatment or
counseling, but rather to provide early identification, motivation,
and referral to appropriate care - giving resources in order to
facilitate the resolution of any serious personal problems the
employee might have.
13. This policy does not alter or replace a st
P xi ing administrative
Policy or contractual agreements but serves as an adjunct to
assist in their utilization.

Removal Agreement, (2) have failed to pay removal costs as agreed on the
before mentioned agreement or, (3) have had trees removed in accordance with
the procedure established when a property owner fails to respond to official
notices, (i.e. the Public Nuisance Procedure). Charges for tree removal

after the deadline for special assessments in 1988 and those trees removed
in 1989 prior to the deadline for 1989 special assessments. The deadline
this year was August 1, 1989. Any trees removed after that date will be
specially assessed in 1990.
Levy 11464 is for special assessments amounting to $300.00 or less and is
paid over a three year period and 11465 is for special assessments greater
than $300.00 and is a five year special assessment.
B. Public Utility Hookups - Levies 11466 and 11467

signed a hookup agreement requesting these costs be assessed to their
property.

PRELIMINARY 1990 LEVY CERTIFICATION
DEPT. APPROVAL:

MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION:
No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached
*********************************************************** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * **
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached _�
Under the existing state statutes commonly known as 'Truth in Taxation," there exists requirements
for preliminary certification of 1990 property tax levies. These sections of the state statutes were to
be amended by laws passed by the last legislative session. However, because of the governor's veto
of the tax bill, these sections of the laws were not modified. It has been the clear understanding of
most legislatures and municipal officials that the current truth in taxation regulations were not as
effective as they could be and, indeed, they were to be modified in the tax bill.
Because the tax bill was vetoed, we are still faced with the situation of complying with existing
regulations. The attached resolution certifies a preliminary 1990 levy to Hennepin County as per the
existing law. We are recommending certifying the maximum that we could levy because if we do not,
we will not have the flexibility to go up to that amount at a later date should the Council wish.
The Council should understand this preliminary certification of the 1990 levy will possibly have little
or no meaning upon the completion of the special session of the Minnesota Legislature in August or
September of this year. The League of Cities and the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities are
recommending communities certify this preliminary levy in this fashion so as to make sure the cities
are in compliance with the letter etter of the law, although its virtually certain that that law will change
within the next two to three months.

No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
A public hearing is scheduled this evening for a private kennel license at 4206 - 66th Avenue North.
The owner, Sara Wiegand, has three dogs.
• The police department has record of one complaint for this property. The health department
inspected the home on June 11, 1989, and July 17, 1989. The home and yard are in satisfactory,
sanitary condition. An 8' x 15' kennel area has been constructed. The health department
recommends approval of the private kennel license on the condition that a weatherproof, insulated
shelter be placed in the kennel.
If approved, the license would be in effect until September 30, 1990, at which time the owner could
renew the license through this same process. If the owner wished to renew the license, she would be
allowed two renewals with a final expiration date of September 30, 1992. After September 30, 1992,
the owner would have to be in compliance with the ordinance requirements.
RECOMMENDATION:
1 recommend approval of the private kennel license subject to one condition as follows:
1. Installation of a weatherproof, insulated shelter large enough for the three animals to stand
and turn around in within 30 days.
M E M O R A N D U M
DATE: July 19, 1989
TO: Patti Page, Administrative Aide
FROM: 44mary Fandrey, Public Health Sanitarian
SUBJECT: Kennel Application of 4206 66th Avenue North
A kennel inspection was conducted on June 11, 1989. At that
time, the kennel was under construction and the three dogs
were either kept in the house or chained in the back yard.
The three dogs are vaccinated against rabies and are
currently licensed.
There is weekly garbage pickup by a licensed hauler (Waste
Management) on Thursdays. The feces are removed from the
kennel every other day. I would recommend that removal
occur on a daily basis considering the size of the kennel
and size of the animals.
The three animals are a male Schnauzer mix, a male Malemute-
Shepherd cross and a female mixed breed.
During an unannounced inspection on Monday, July 17, 1989,
the dogs did bark quite a bit until they got used to my
presence. I did note there were dogs across the street that
barked as much when I arrived for the kennel inspection at
4206 66th Avenue North.
The kennel was completed when I was there on July 17th and
is constructed of an 8x15 foot patio block run enclosed with
wood and kennel wire. The patio block floor forms the
desired smooth and easily cleanable kennel floor.
The animals' food is kept in a closet in the kitchen indoors
and is not providing a food source for rodents.
I would recommend approval of the kennel application on the
condition that a weatherproof,, insulated shelter large
enough for the three animals to stand and turn around in be
placed in the kennel. At the present time, a cardboard box
enclosed in plastic serves as protection from the elements.

Following the Chairperson's explanation, the Secretary introduced all three items
of business, a request for site and building plan approval to add approximately
39,000 sq. ft. of retail space to Brookdale Shopping Center at 5900 Shingle Creek
Parkway; a request for preliminary plat approval to combine into a single parcel the

land along the east side of the General Cinema site to be excluded from the plat.
The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff reports (see Planning Commission

history of the Brookdale Square development and noted that the City had originally
sought dedication of a public street along the north side of the Brookdale Square
property to connect Shingle Creek Parkway and John Martin Drive. That option
however, was not followed by the developer. The Secretary also noted that the
applicant would be entitled to an additional freestanding sign along John Martin
Drive as a result of combining the sites. Regarding the variance, the Secretary
stated that the replatting of property is generally the time to clear up the problems
that exist with the title to the property. He agreed, however, that in this case the
time involved would probably work a hardship on the property owner. He
recommended, however, that a condition of the variance be to require, rather than
simply urge, the property owner to obtain marketable title to the triangle of land
and combine with the Brookdale Square site.
Commissioner Bernards asked whether granting the variance would lead to legal
problems for the applicant or for the City in the future. The Secretary stated that
probably the worse case scenario would be if the title to that triangle were obtained
by someone else entirely. He pointed out that the land was not really developable
7 -13 -89 -1-
by itself and that it would be useless to anyone but the property owner. He added
that it would impact more than one parking space if the triangle were not part of the
site. He pointed out that the greenstrip would have to be relocated and the driving
lanes relocated around it and this would affect a number of stalls. Commissioner
Bernards urged the City to watch the intersection at John Martin Drive and Earle
Brown Drive and the access from the shopping center. He stated that a four way stop
might be needed at some point in the future. The Secretary stated that some
analysis has been done by Short - Elliott- Hendrickson in this area. He stated that
he did not know if a stop sign was needed at this time, but that the situation would be
monitored. He pointed out that there would be no additional curb break on John
Martin Drive, but that the General Cinema, Brookdale Square, the Brookdale Six
office building and Perkins would all access out through that driveway onto John
Martin Drive.
Chairperson Malecki asked regarding changing the condition on the variance to
requiring the applicant to obtain marketable title. She asked whether there was
any way to enforce that condition. The Secretary answered that it would be
encumbant on the developer to obtain marketable title and to combine the land with
the larger site in accordance with City ordinance. Chairperson Malecki asked
whether that condition could be tied to future development. The Secretary answered
that it possibly could, but that it may be some years before additional retail
development is proposed in this area. He again recommended changing the wording in
the condition to require the applicant to obtain marketable title.
Chairperson Malecki noted the proposal for stop lights on Shingle Creek Parkway and
asked whether this would not be too close to County Road 10. The Secretary showed
the approximate location of the proposed signals on a transparency. He stated that
there was still enough of a separation between the signal and County Road 10. He
explained that when Brookdale Square was developed, the developer originally wanted
two full median openings, but that the City limited the southerly opening serving
the T. Wright's area. He explained that the City had actually urged that the plan
for the development be reversed with the shopping center on the south, but had been
unable to convince the developer to pursue this orientation. He stated that it is
very hard to get out of the Brookdale Square site now, but that the City streets do
function. He added that the developer is required to pay for the costs of
installing the signal under the original agreement executed when the development
was approved. In answer to another question from Chairperson Malecki, the
Secretary reviewed on the transparency the access to the U. S. West Direct site to
the north. He noted that they have two right-in/right-out accesses onto Shingle
Creek Parkway. Commissioner Bernards asked whether the stoplight would be
synchronized with other lights along Shingle Creek Parkway to keep the traffic
flowing. The Secretary responded in the affirmative.
Commissioner McCloskey inquired as to the designation of handicapped parking
spaces. The Secretary responded that handicapped parking would have to be provided
and showed some of the locations that he was aware of where handicapped parking
presently exists. He stated that the Building Code requires one stall per 50 stalls
to be handicapped and that they must be convenient to the building. Commissioner
McCloskey asked whether there would be similar building lines to the shopping
center. The Secretary responded in the affirmative and showed the location of the
canopy area on the plan. Mr. David Shea, the architect for the project, showed the
Commission a rendering of the elevations of the building. He stated that the
exterior would be brick with a wood canopy to match the existing.
7 -13 -89 -2-
Chairperson Malecki asked the applicant whether he had anything to add. Mr. Chris
Galley, representing Robert Larsen Partners, stated that he had nothing to add to
the report, but would be available for questions. Chairperson Malecki asked what
kind of store T. J. Maxx was. Mr. Galley responded that it was basically soft goods,
mostly clothing. Commissioner Bernards asked whether the hours would be comparble
to other tenants in the center. Mr. Galley responded in the affirmative.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application Nos. 89018 and 89019)
Chairperson Malecki then opened the meeting for a public hearing on both the
preliminary plat and the variance application and asked whether anyone present
wished to speak. Hearing no one, she called for a motion to close the public
hearing.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Johnson seconded by Commissioner Ainas to close the public
hearing. The motion passed unanimously.
The Planner asked the applicant what was to be done with the area east of T. J. Maxx.
He asked if there would be a sidewalk in this location. Mr. David Shea responded
that there would be an 8' to 10' wide sidewalk and that landscaping could possibly be
added.

OTHER BUSINESS
a) Elect Planning Commission Chairman Pro tem
The Secretary noted that Molly Malecki had been appointed Chairperson for the
Planning Commission and that her position, Chairman Pro tem, was now vacant and
needed to be filled. Chairperson Malecki opened the floor for nominations.
Commissioner Bernards nominated Commissioner Ainas to serve as Planning Commission
Chairman Pro tem. The nomination was seconded by Commissioner Mann. Chairperson
Malecki asked whether there were any other nominations. Hearing none, she called
for a vote on the nomination of Commissioner Ainas. Voting in favor: Chairperson
Malecki, Commissioners Bernards, Johnson, Mann and McCloskey. Voting against:
none. The motion passed.
The Secretary then distributed to the Planning Commissioners a Housing Market Study
done by Maxfield Research Group and stated that it would be reviewed by the
Commission at its August 17, 1989 meeting. He stated that there are some
implications for land use and zoning contained within the report and that the
Commission should take note of these. He referred to a map of priority areas on page
11 and reviewed the various development concerns noted on that map. The Secretary
added that the modification of the tax increment district boundary would also be
considered at their August 17 meeting.
The Secretary stated that the group home study was complete as far as he had heard
from the consultant and that staff would be receiving the final chapter soon. He
stated that this would be distributed to the Commission for consideration at their
next meeting. He added that he had received proposals from consultants on the study
of land use in the area of 66th Avenue North and Highway 252 and that a consultant
would be selected by the Council at their meeting on July 24. He stated that most of
the consultants who submitted proposals projected that the study should be complete
by October or November to allow time for implementation.
The Planner added that the City received from the Metropolitan Council a couple of
months ago a revised Systems Statement on transportation and sewers. He stated
that cities would have to determine by January of 1990 whether Comprehensive Plan
amendments were needed to conform with these revised Systems Statements. He stated
that it did not appear that there would be a need for an amendment to the sewer
element, but that there may be a need to revise the transportation element of the
Comprehensive Plan.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Commissioner Ainas to adjourn the meeting of the Planning Commission.
The motion passed unanimously. The Planning Commission adjourned at 8:46 p.m.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 89017
Applicant: The Robert Larsen Partners
Location: 5900 Shingle Creek Parkway
Request: Site and Building Plan
The applicant requests site and building plan approval to construct 38, 917 sq. ft.
of additional retail space at the Brookdale Square shopping center at 5900 Shingle
Creek Parkway. The land in question is to include both the present Brookdale Square
site and the General Cinema site, is zoned C2 and is bounded on the north by U. S. West
Direct and the Brookdale Six office building, on the east by John Martin Drive, on
the south by an exit ramp from Highway 100 and by Brookdale Ford, and on the west by
Shingle Creek Parkway. Retail sales buildings are a permitted use in the C2 zoning
district. The additions are to include a 25,200 sq. ft. T. J. Maxx store to the east
end of the existing building and a 13,717 sq. ft. addition to the Drug Emporium space
behind the building.
Access /Parking
The proposed plan calls for a revised access off Shingle Creek Parkway. The main
shopping center access would be moved southward from its present location by
approximately 175'. The median opening in Shingle Creek Parkway will also be
relocated southward and a signal will be installed. The southerly access near T.
Wright's will remain, but the median opening serving that access will be closed by
the City. The combination of the Brookdale Square site and the General Cinema site
will open up a driveway that will establish a continuous link of private driveways
from Shingle Creek Parkway to John Martin Drive.
The addition of retail space is possible because the parking requirement for
theatres located in a retail shopping center complex of 50,000 sq. ft. or more is now
one space for every four seats rather than one space for every three seats as
previously. With the combination of the Brookdale Square site and the General
Cinema site into a single parcel, there will be a total of 3,520 theatre seats in the
complex. This requires 880 parking spaces. T. Wright's restaurant requires 263
spaces. The retail center, with the proposed expansion, would be 126,515 sq. ft.
which requires 744 spaces. This comes to a total parking requirement of 1,887
parking spaces. The proposed plan of the combined site provides for a total of
1,958 spaces, including 260 deferred stalls. We recommend against acceptance of 13
deferred stalls north of the U.A. Theatre. A proof -of- parking restrictive
covenant should be executed binding the property owner to future compliance upon a
determination by the City that the stalls are needed. Even if 13 spaces are
rejected, there will remain some future development potential on the site, given a
modest parking surplus of 58 spaces. The applicant has indicated an interest in
adding a small retail building to the northeast portion of the site at some time in
the future in order to make better use of the largely unused parking in that area of
the site.
Landscaping
The landscape plan documents existing landscape plantings and proposes new
plantings in bold relief. Existing landscaping accounts for 661 landscape points
(at 10 points for shade trees, 6 for coniferous trees, 1.5 for ornamental trees, and
.5 points for shrubs) . The point requirement for the entire 23.2 acre site is 1,170
points. The plan proposes 510 additional points in landscape plantings, including
33 shade trees, 22 ornamental trees, 22 coniferous trees and 50 shrubs. Most of the
new plantings are to be located on the old General Cinema site, along the back of the
shopping center, and in the area of the revised entrance off Shingle Creek Parkway.
7 -13 -89 -1-
Application no. 89017 continued
The plan proposes six (6) Colorado Green Spruce in the greenstrip behind the
shopping center to serve as screening of a loading dock at the northeast corner of
Children's Palace. The plan also proposes six (6) Summit Ash and three (3) Red
Splendor Crab in islands along the driveway entrance at the north end of the old
General Cinema site, providing somewhat of a gateway effect.
Grading, Drainage, Utilities
The site will be disturbed by the relocation of the main access off Shingle Creek
Parkway, by the construction of the new retail areas, and by the modification of the
parking layout and entrance at the north end of the old General Cinema site which
gains access to John Martin Drive through the Brookdale Six office building
property. Otherwise, the surface of the site will be mostly unaffected. The
grading and utility plan proposes three skimmers to purify some of the runoff from
the site. One is to be located in a small parking area north of the main access drive
near Shingle Creek Parkway. Another is to be located behind the shopping center
building, in the greenstrip adjacent to U. S. West Direct. The third is to be
located in a median north of the U.A. Theatre. A new storm sewer line will connect
these last two skimmers by ringing the east end of the shopping center building. A
water line which runs under the parking lot east of the existing building will have
to be relocated around the new addition. A new hydrant is proposed in a parking lot
island northeast of the new T. J. Maxx store.
Building
The exterior treatment of the proposed additions is to be brick to match the existing
center. A canopy treatment with wood facia will be extended along the south side of
the T. J. Maxx store. The entrance to the store will be along the south side of the
building, in line with the other tenants in the building. Staff have encouraged the
applicant to consider putting an entrance on the east side of the building to have
ready access to a large area of underutilized parking. However, T. J. Maxx has a
centralized checkout scheme and, for security reasons, prefers to have a single
entrance along the front of the center. Parking spaces required for the store will
be located within 400' of the entrance. While this is not an ordinance requirement
for commercial parking, it is a requirement for parking at multi - family residential
sites and is at least an indication of convenience. While not as convenient as we
would like, the arrangement is probably acceptable.
Lighting /Trash
No lighting changes are proposed. The plans call for two additional trash
enclosures in the service and loading area behind the building, one to serve T. J.
Maxx, the other to serve Drug Emporium.
Recommendation
Altogether, the plans appear to be in order and approval is recommended subject to at
least the following conditions:
1. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building
Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance
of permits.
2. Grading, drainage, utility and berming plans are subject to
review and approval by the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of
permits.
3. A site performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee
(in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be
submitted prior to the issuance of permits.
7 -13 -89 -2-
Application No. 89017 continued
4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical
equipment shall be appropriately screened from view.
5. The building is to be equipped with an automatic fire
extinguishing system to meet NFPA standards and shall be
connected to a central monitoring device in accordance with
Chapter 5 of the City Ordinances.
6. An underground irrigation system shall be installed in all
landscaped areas to facilitate site maintenance.
7. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to
Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances.
8. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and
driving areas.
9. The applicant shall submit an as -built survey of the property,
improvements and utility service lines, prior to release of the
performance guarantee.
10. The property owner shall enter in an Easement and Agreement for
Maintenance and Inspection of Utility and Storm Drainage
Systems, prior to the issuance of permits.
11. The storm drainage system shall be approved by the Shingle Creek
Watershed Management Commission prior to the issuance of
permits.
12. Ponding areas required as a part of the storm drainage plan shall
be protected by an approved easement. The easement document
shall be executed and filed with Hennepin County prior to the
issuance of permits.
13. The replat of the property shall receive final approval and be
filed at the County prior to the issuance of permits.
14. The property owner shall enter into a restrictive covenant to be
filed with the title to the property requiring the installation
of proof -of- parking stalls upon a determinatin by the City that
such stalls are needed for the proper functioning of the site.
Said restrictive covenant shall be executed and filed prior to
the issuance of permits.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 89018
Applicant: The Robert Larsen Partners
Location: 5900 Shingle Creek Parkway, 5801 John Martin Drive
Request: Preliminary Plat
The applicant requests preliminary plat approval to combine into a single parcel the
lots on which the Brookdale Square development and the General Cinema are located.
The property in question is zoned C2 and is the subject of Application No. 89017 (see
accompanying information sheet for location). The purpose of the replatting is to
combine the parcels into a single site and thereby take advantage of a lower theatre
parking requirement which applies to theatres in a retail shopping center complex.
The total area of the parcel is to be 23.2 acres. The proposed legal description is
simply Lot 1, Block 1, Brookdale Square 2nd Addition. The plat indicates 10' wide
utility easements along the west, north, and east sides of the old Brookdale Square
site. An NSP power line easement is also indicated over the southerly portion of
the old General Cinema site, including over a portion of the theatre building.
Apparently, NSP does not object to a building within this easement.
The proposed combination is fairly simple, except that there is a small triangle of
land on the east side of the old General Cinema site which does not have a marketable
title at present. It was formerly acquired by MNDOT for right -of -way for the
interchange of John Martin Drive with the Highway 100 southbound ramp. Including
this triangle of land in the plat would delay filing of the plat for months at least
and would perhaps kill the project. Accordingly, the applicant is seeking a
variance from Section 35 -540 of the Zoning Ordinance to exclude this triangle from
the plat. (See Planning Commission Application No. 89019.)
Generally, the proposed plat appears to be in order and approval is recommended,
subject to at least the following conditions:
1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer.
2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the
City Ordinances.
3. Exclusion of the 1,200 sq. ft. triangle of land adjacent to John
Martin Drive from the plat is subject to approval of variance
Application No. 89019.
7 -13 -89
Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 89019
Applicant: The Robert Larsen Partners
Location: 5900 Shingle Creek Parkway, 5801 John Martin Drive
Request: Variance
The applicant requests a variance from Section 35 -540 of the Zoning Ordinance which
requires multiple parcels under common use and common ownership to be combined into
a single parcel through platting or registered land survey. The Brookdale Square
site and most of the General Cinema site would be combined into a single parcel
(under Application No. 89018). However, a small triangle of land on the east side
of the General Cinema site would be excluded from the plat because it has no
marketable title at present. The triangle is a remnant of a tract in R.L.S. No. 1300
which was taken for right -of -way for the ramp leading from John Martin Drive to the
exit ramp serving southbound Highway 100. The triangle of land was returned to the
property owner, Mr. Deil Gustafson, as excess right -of -way land and was included in
General Cinema site. The requirement to combine the site into a single parcel was
apparently not imposed in 1971 when the cinema was developed.
Applicant's Letter
The applicant's representative, Mr. Tim Erkkila of Westwood Professional Services,
has submitted a letter (attached) addressing the Standards for a Variance from
Section 35 -240 of the Zoning Ordinance (also attached) . In the letter, Mr. Erkkila
notes that the triangular piece of land is approximately 1,200 sq. ft. in area and
has been improved to include sod, concrete curb and part of a parking space.
Regarding hardship, Mr. Erkkila notes that the developers project is not
substantially affected by this piece because of its small size and peripheral
location. He states that the developer will work diligently to clarify the title,
but that to postpone the platting until clear title is obtained would delay the
project beyond the current construction season and project viability would be lost.
Concerning uniqueness, Mr. Erkkila notes that it is not unique physical
circumstances which create the hardship, but the procedural requirement to combine
the land into a single parcel and the timing involved in fulfilling such a
requirement. Mr. Erkkila goes on to argue that the hardship is not created by the
owner, but by the State of Minnesota in acquisition of part of the tract which left
the remnant in question. Finally, he argues that granting the variance will not be
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the
neighborhood because the parcel is and has been considered a part of the General
Cinema site as far as buildings and site improvements are concerned.
Staff Response
Clearly the hardship in this case is timing. Apparently, it would be some nonths or
even longer before a marketable title to the property could be obtained. The City
found itself in similar circumstances in trying to replat the property that includes
the Earle Brown Farm and the Earle Brown Commons residential development in 1986.
In that case, the City sought to vacate 10' on either side of Earle Brown Drive and
attach the land to the adjacent parcels. However, it was impossible to obtain title
to the underlying land within a reasonable period of time and so interim variances
were granted from setback and greenstrip requirements and the land we sought to
combine with existing parcels was left out of the final plat. We are still seeking
title to that land, which may be an indication of how long the process can take.
Certainly, imposing such a delay in this case would be an unreasonable burden and a
hardship on the developer. The public benefit of compliance with the ordinance
does not in this case (given the peripheral location and size of the parcel) appear
to equal the potential private cost.
7 - 13 -89 -1-
Application No. 89019 continued
As to uniqueness, remnant parcels of vacated right -of -way are somewhat unique, but
do occur in many locations where highway projects have been undertaken. Given the
amount of time it generally takes for such land to be turned back, we are surprised
that the parcel in question was available for development of the cinema site in the
first place. The hardship does seem to be a result of the original highway
department acquisition. However, we would certainly urge the owner to obtain clear
title to this property as soon as possible. Finally, we agree that there will be no
physical detriment to surrounding land or improvements if the variance is granted.
No change in the improvements on this small parcel is proposed or required.
Recommendation
Based on the above evaluation, we recommend approval of the variance request, citing
the following findings:
1. The time delay of the applicant obtaining marketable title to the
small triangle of land is deemed to be an unreasonable burden on
the developer and a hardship in making use of the property.
2. The circumstances involving a remnant of a parcel taken for
right -of -way are somewhat unique.
3. The hardship results from actions orginally taken by the highway
department and not the property owner.
4. There will be no adverse impact on surrounding land or
improvements in the neighborhood.
5. The applicant is urged to obtain marketable title to the small
triangle of land as soon as possible and to combine it with the
larger site for tax purposes.

MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF
HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
REGULAR SESSION
JULY 13, 1989
CITY HALL
CALL TO ORDER
The Planning Commission met in regular session and was called to order by
Chairperson Molly Malecki at 7:31 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Chairperson Molly Malecki, Commissioners Wallace Bernards, Lowell Ainas, Bertil
Johnson, Kristen Mann and James McCloskey. Also present were Director of Planning
and Inspection Ronald Warren and Planner Gary Shallcross. Chairperson Malecki
noted that Commissioner Sander had called to say she would be unable to attend and
was excused.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - JUNE 15, 1989
Motion by Commissioner Bernards seconded by Commissioner Ainas to approve the
minutes of the June 15, 1989 Planning Commission meeting as submitted. Voting in
favor: Commissioners Bernards, Ainas, Johnson, Mann and McCloskey. Voting
against: none. Not voting: Chairperson Malecki. The motion passed.
APPLICATION NOS. 89017, 89018, AND 89019 (The Robert Larsen Partners)
Following the Chairperson's explanation, the Secretary introduced all three items
of business, a request for site and building plan approval to add approximately
39,000 sq. ft. of retail space to Brookdale Shopping Center at 5900 Shingle Creek
Parkway; a request for preliminary plat approval to combine into a single parcel the
Brookdale Square site and the General Cinema site to the east; and a request for a
variance from Section 35 - 540 of the Zoning Ordinance to allow a small triangle of
land along the east side of the General Cinema site to be excluded from the plat.
The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff reports (see Planning Commission
Information Sheets for Application Nos. 89017, 89018 and 89019, attached). The
Secretary also pointed out the current access location off Shingle Creek Parkway and
noted that the project to install the traffic signal at the Brookdale Square
entrance has been approved by the City Council. He briefly reviewed the past
history of the Brookdale Square development and noted that the City had originally
sought dedication of a public street along the north side of the Brookdale Square
'property to connect Shingle Creek Parkway and John Martin Drive. That option,
however, was not followed by the developer. The Secretary also noted that the
applicant would be entitled to an additional freestanding sign along John Martin
Drive as a result of combining the sites. Regarding the variance, the Secretary
stated that the replatting of property is generally the time to clear up the problems
that exist with the title to the property. He agreed, however, that in this case the
time involved would probably work a hardship on the property owner. He
recommended, however, that a condition of the variance be to require, rather than
simply urge, the property owner to obtain marketable title to the triangle of land
and combine with the Brookdale Square site.
Commissioner Bernards asked whether granting the variance would lead to legal
problems for the applicant or for the City in the future. The Secretary stated that
. probably the worse case scenario would be if the title to that triangle were obtained
by someone else entirely. He pointed out that the land was not really developable
7 -13 -89 -1-
by itself and that it would be useless to anyone but the property owner. He added
that it would impact more than one parking space if the triangle were not part of the
site. He pointed out that the greenstrip would have to be relocated and the driving
lanes relocated around it and this would affect a number of stalls. Commissioner
Bernards urged the City to watch the intersection at John Martin Drive and Earle
Brown Drive and the access from the shopping center. He stated that a four way stop
might be needed at some point in the future. The Secretary stated that some
analysis has been done by Short - Elliott- Hendrickson in this area. He stated that
he did not know if a stop sign was needed at this time, but that the situation would be
monitored. He pointed out that there would be no additional curb break on John
Martin Drive, but that the General Cinema, Brookdale Square, the Brookdale Six
office building and Perkins would all access out through that driveway onto John
Martin Drive.
Chairperson Malecki asked regarding changing the condition on the variance to
requiring the applicant to obtain marketable title. She asked whether there was
any way to enforce that condition. The Secretary answered that it would be
encumbant on the developer to obtain marketable title and to combine the land with
the larger site in accordance with City ordinance. Chairperson Malecki asked
whether that condition could be tied to future development. The Secretary answered
that it possibly could, but that it may be some years before additional retail
development is proposed in this area. He again recommended changing the wording in
the condition to require the applicant to obtain marketable title.
Chairperson Malecki noted the proposal for stop lights on Shingle Creek Parkway and
asked whether this would not be too close to County Road 10. The Secretary showed
the approximate location of the proposed signals on a transparency. He stated that
there was still enough of a separation between the signal and County Road 10. He
explained that when Brookdale Square was developed, the developer originally wanted
two full median openings, but that the City limited the southerly opening serving
the T. Wright's area. He explained that the City had actually urged that the plan
for the development be reversed with the shopping center on the south, but had been
unable to convince the developer to pursue this orientation. He stated that it is
very hard to get out of the Brookdale Square site now, but that the City streets do
function. He added that the developer is required to pay for the costs of
installing the signal under the original agreement executed when the development
was approved. In answer to another question from Chairperson Malecki, the
Secretary reviewed on the transparency the access to the U. S. West Direct site to
the north. He noted that they have two right -in /right -out accesses onto Shingle
Creek Parkway. Commissioner Bernards asked whether the stoplight would be
synchronized with other lights along Shingle Creek Parkway to keep the traffic
flowing. The Secretary responded in the affirmative.
Commissioner McCloskey inquired as to the designation of handicapped parking
spaces. The Secretary responded that handicapped parking would have to be provided
and showed some of the locations that he was aware of where handicapped parking
presently exists. He stated that the Building Code requires one stall per 50 stalls
to be handicapped and that they must be convenient to the building. Commissioner
McCloskey asked whether there would be similar building lines to the shopping
center. The Secretary responded in the affirmative and showed the location of the
canopy area on the plan. Mr. David Shea, the architect for the project, showed the
Commission a rendering of the elevations of the building. He stated that the
exterior would be brick with a wood canopy to match the existing.
7 -13 -89 -2-
r
Chairperson Malecki asked the applicant whether he had anything to add. Mr. Chris
Galley, representing Robert Larsen Partners, stated that he had nothing to add to
the report, but would be available for questions. Chairperson Malecki asked what
kind of store T. J. Maxx was. Mr. Galley responded that it was basically soft goods,
mostly clothing. Commissioner Bernards asked whether the hours would be comparble
to other tenants in the center. Mr. Galley responded in the affirmative.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application Nos. 89018 and 89019)
Chairperson Malecki then opened the meeting for a public hearing on both the
preliminary plat and the variance application and asked whether anyone present
wished to speak. Hearing no one, she called for a motion to close the public
hearing.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Johnson seconded by Commissioner Ainas to close the public
hearing. The motion passed unanimously.
The Planner asked the applicant what was to be done with the area east of T. J. Maxx.
He asked if there would be a sidewalk in this location. Mr. David Shea responded
that there would be an 8' to 10' wide sidewalk and that landscaping could possibly be
added.

The motion passed.
OTHER BUSINESS
a) Elect Planning ommission Chairman rman Pro tem
The Secretary noted that Molly Malecki had been appointed Chairperson for the
Planning Commission and that her position, Chairman Pro tem, was now vacant and
needed to be filled. Chairperson Malecki opened the floor for nominations.
Commissioner Bernards nominated Commissioner Ainas to serve as Planning Commission
Chairman Pro tem. The nomination was seconded by Commissioner Mann. Chairperson
Malecki asked whether there were any other nominations. Hearing none, she called
for a vote on the nomination of Commissioner Ainas. Voting in favor: Chairperson
Malecki, Commissioners Bernards, Johnson, Mann and McCloskey. Voting against:
none. The motion passed.
The Secretary then distributed to the Planning Commissioners a Housing Market Study
done by Maxfield Research Group and stated that it would be reviewed by the
Commission at its August 17, 1989 meeting. He stated that there are some
implications for land use and zoning contained within the report and that the
Commission should take note of these. He referred to a map of priority areas on page
11 and reviewed the various development concerns noted on that map. The Secretary
added that the modification of the tax increment district boundary would also be
considered at their August 17 meeting.
The Secretary stated that the group home study was complete as far as he had heard
from the consultant and that staff would be receiving the final chapter soon. He
stated that this would be distributed to the Commission for consideration at their
next meeting. He added that he had received proposals from consultants on the study
of land use in the area of 66th Avenue North and Highway 252 and that a consultant
would be selected by the Council at their meeting on July 24. He stated that most of
the consultants who submitted proposals projected that the study should be complete
by October or November to allow time for implementation.
The Planner added that the City eceived from the Metropolitan Council a couple of
Y P P
months ago a revised Systems Statement on transportation and sewers. He stated
that cities would have to determine by January of 1990 whether Comprehensive Plan
amendments were needed to conform with these revised Systems Statements. He stated
that it did not appear that there would be a need for an amendment to the sewer
element, but that there may be a need to revise the transportation element of the
Comprehensive Plan.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Commissioner Ainas to adjourn the meeting of the Planning Commission.
The motion passed unanimously. The Planning Commission adjourned at 8:46 p.m.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 89017
Applicant: The Robert Larsen Partners
Location: 5900 Shingle Creek Parkway
Request: Site and Building Plan
The applicant requests site and building plan approval to construct 38, 917 sq. ft.
of additional retail space at the Brookdale Square shopping center at 5900 Shingle
Creek Parkway. The land in question is to include both the present Brookdale Square
site and the General Cinema site, is zoned C2 and is bounded on the north by U. S. West
Direct and the Brookdale Six office building, on the east by John Martin Drive, on
the south by an exit ramp from Highway 100 and by Brookdale Ford, and on the west by
Shingle Creek Parkway. Retail sales buildings are a permitted use in the C2 zoning
district. The additions are to include a 25,200 sq. ft. T. J. Maxx store to the east
end of the existing building and a 13,717 sq. ft. addition to the Drug Emporium space
behind the building.
Access /Parking
The proposed plan calls for a revised access off Shingle Creek Parkway. The main
shopping center access would be moved southward from its present location by
approximately 175 The median opening in Shingle Creek Parkway will also be
relocated southward and a signal will be installed. The southerly access near T.
Wright's will remain, but the median opening serving that access will be closed by
the City. The combination of the Brookdale Square site and the General Cinema site
will open up a driveway that will establish a continuous link of private driveways
from Shingle Creek Parkway to John Martin Drive.
The addition of retail space is possible because the parking requirement for
theatres located in a retail shopping center complex of 50, 000 sq. ft. or more is now
one space for every four seats rather than one space for every three seats as
previously. With the combination of the Brookdale Square site and the General
Cinema site into a single parcel, there will be a total of 3,520 theatre seats in the
complex. This requires 880 parking spaces. T. Wright's restaurant requires 263
spaces. The retail center, with the proposed expansion, would be 126,515 sq. ft.
which requires 744 spaces. This comes to a total parking requirement of 1,887
parking spaces. The proposed plan of the combined site provides for a total of
1,958 spaces, including 260 deferred stalls. We recommend against acceptance of 13
deferred stalls north of the U.A. Theatre. A proof -of- parking restrictive
covenant should be executed binding the property owner to future compliance upon a
determination by the City that the stalls are needed. Even if 13 spaces are
rejected, there will remain some future development potential on the site, given a
modest parking surplus of 58 spaces. The applicant has indicated an interest in
adding a small retail building to the northeast portion of the site at some time in
the future in order to make better use of the largely unused parking in that area of
the site.
Landscaping
The landscape plan documents existing landscape plantings and proposes new
plantings in bold relief. Existing landscaping accounts for 661 landscape points
(at 10 points for shade trees, 6 for coniferous trees, 1.5 for ornamental trees, and
.5 points for shrubs) . The point requirement for the entire 23.2 acre site is 1,170
points. The plan proposes 510 additional points in landscape plantings, including
33 shade trees, 22 ornamental trees, 22 coniferous trees and 50 shrubs. Most of the
new plantings are to be located on the old General Cinema site, along the back of the
shopping center, and in the area of the revised entrance off Shingle Creek Parkway.
7 -13 -89 -1-
Application no. 89017 continued 1
The plan proposes six (6) Colorado Green Spruce in the greenstrip behind the
shopping center to serve as screening of a loading dock at the northeast corner of
Children's Palace. The plan also proposes six (6) Summit Ash and three (3) Red
Splendor Crab in islands along the driveway entrance at the north end of the old
General Cinema site, providing somewhat of a gateway effect.
Grading, Drainage, Utilities
The site will be disturbed by the relocation of the main access off Shingle Creek
Parkway, by the construction of the new retail areas, and by the modification of the
parking layout and entrance at the north end of the old General Cinema site which
gains access to John Martin Drive through the Brookdale Six office building
Property. Otherwise, the surface of the site will be mostly unaffected. The
grading and utility plan proposes three skimmers to purify some of the runoff from
the site. One is to be located in a small parking area north of the main access drive
near Shingle Creek Parkway. Another is to be located behind the shopping center
building, in the greenstrip adjacent to U. S. West Direct. The third is to be
located in a median north of the U.A. Theatre. A new storm sewer line will connect
these last two skimmers by ringing the east end of the shopping center building. A
water line which runs under the parking lot east of the existing building will have
to be relocated around the new addition. A new hydrant is proposed in a parking lot
island northeast of the new T. J. Maxx store.
Building
The exterior treatment of the proposed additions is to be brick to match the existing
center. A canopy treatment with wood facia will be extended along the south side of
the T. J. Maxx store. The entrance to the store will be along the south side of the
building, in line with the other tenants in the building. Staff have encouraged the
applicant to consider putting an entrance on the east side of the building to have
ready access to a large area of underutilized parking. However, T. J. Maxx has a
centralized checkout scheme and, for security reasons, prefers to have a single
entrance along the front of the center. Parking spaces required for the store will
be located within 400' of the entrance. While this is not an ordinance requirement
for commercial parking, it is a requirement for parking at multi - family residential
sites and is at least an indication of convenience. While not as convenient as we
would like, the arrangement is probably acceptable.
Lighting /Trash
No lighting changes are proposed. The plans call for two additional trash
enclosures in the service and loading area behind the building, one to serve T. J.
Maxx, the other to serve Drug Emporium.
Recommendation
Altogether, the plans appear to be in order and approval is recommended subject to at
least the following conditions:
1. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building
Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance
of permits.
2. Grading, drainage, utility and berming plans are subject to
review and approval by the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of
permits.
3. A site performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee
(in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be
submitted prior to the issuance of permits.

4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical
equipment shall be appropriately screened from view.
5. The building is to be equipped with an automatic fire
extinguishing system to meet NFPA standards and shall be
connected to a central monitoring device in accordance with
Chapter 5 of the City Ordinances.
6. An underground irrigation system shall be installed in all
landscaped areas to facilitate site maintenance.
7. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to
Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances.
8. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and
driving areas.
9. The applicant shall submit an as -built survey of the property,
improvements and utility service lines, prior to release of the
performance guarantee.

11. The storm drainage system shall be approved by the Shingle Creek
Watershed Management Commission prior to the issuance of
permits.
12. Ponding areas required as a part of the storm drainage plan shall
be protected by an approved easement. The easement document
shall be executed and filed with Hennepin County prior to the
issuance of permits.
13• The replat of the property shall receive final approval and be

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 89018
Applicant: The Robert Larsen Partners
Location: 5900 Shingle Creek Parkway, 5801 John Martin Drive
Request: Preliminary Plat
The applicant requests preliminary plat approval to combine into a single parcel the
lots on which the Brookdale Square development and the General Cinema are located.
The property in question is zoned C2 and is the subject of Application No. 89017 (see
accompanying information sheet for location). The purpose of the replatting is to
combine the parcels into a single site and thereby take advantage of a lower theatre
parking requirement which applies to theatres in a retail shopping center complex.
The total area of the parcel is to be 23.2 acres. The proposed legal description is
simply Lot 1, Block 1, Brookdale Square 2nd Addition. The plat indicates 10' wide
utility easements along the west, north, and east sides of the old Brookdale Square
site. An NSP power line easement is also indicated over the southerly portion of
the old General Cinema site including over a portion of the theatre building.
Apparently,
NSP does not object to a building within this easeme nt.
J g
The proposed combination is fairly simple, except that there is a small triangle of
land on the east side of the old General Cinema site which does not have a marketable
title at present. It was formerly acquired by MNDOT for right -of -way for the
interchange of John Martin Drive with the Highway 100 southbound ramp. Including
this triangle of land in the plat would delay filing of the plat for months at least
and would perhaps kill the project. Accordingly, the applicant is seeking a
variance from Section 35 -540 of the Zoning Ordinance to exclude this triangle from
the plat. (See Planning Commission Application No. 89019.)
Generally, the proposed plat appears to be in order and approval is recommended,
subject to at least the following conditions:
1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer.
2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the
City Ordinances.
3. Exclusion of the 1,200 sq. ft. triangle of land adjacent to John
Martin Drive from the plat is subject to approval of variance
Application No. 89019.

7 -13 -89
Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 89019
Applicant: The Robert Larsen Partners
Location: 5900 Shingle Creek Parkway, 5801 John Martin Drive
Request: Variance
The applicant requests a variance from Section 35-540 of the Zoning Ordinance which
requires multiple parcels under common use and common ownership to be combined into
a single parcel through platting or registered land survey. The Brookdale Square
site and most of the General Cinema site would be combined into a single parcel
(under Application No. 89018). However, a small triangle of land on the east side
of the General Cinema site would be excluded from the plat because it has no
marketable title at present. The triangle is a remnant of a tract in R.L.S. No. 1300
which was taken for right -of -way for the ramp leading from John Martin Drive to the
exit ramp serving southbound Highway 100. The triangle of land was returned to the
property owner, Mr. Deil Gustafson, as excess right -of -way land and was included in
General Cinema site. The requirement to combine the site into a single parcel was
apparently not imposed in 1971 when the cinema was developed.
Applicant's Letter
The applicant's representative, Mr. Tim Erkkila of Westwood Professional Services,
has submitted a letter (attached) addressing the Standards for a Variance from
Section 35 -240 of the Zoning Ordinance (also attached) . In the letter, Mr. Erkkila
notes that the triangular piece of land is approximately 1,200 sq. ft. in area and
has been improved to include sod, concrete curb and part of a parking space.
Regarding hardship, Mr. Erkkila notes that the developers project is not
substantially affected by this piece because of its small size and peripheral
location. He states that the developer will work diligently to clarify the title,
but that to postpone the platting until clear title is obtained would delay the
project beyond the current construction season and project viability would be lost.
Concerning uniqueness, Mr. Erkkila notes that it is not unique physical
circumstances which create the hardship, but the procedural requirement to combine
the land into a single le arcel an
g p d the timing nvolved in fulfilling such a
g g
requirement. Mr. Erkkila goes on to argue that the hardship is not created by the
owner, but by the State of Minnesota in acquisition of part of the tract which left
the remnant in question. Finally, he argues that granting the variance will not be
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the
neighborhood because the parcel is and has been considered a part of the General
Cinema site as far as buildings and site improvements are concerned.
Staff Response
Clearly the hardship in this case is timing. Apparently, it would be some nonths or
even longer before a marketable title to the property could be obtained. The City
found itself in similar circumstances in trying to replat the property that includes
the Earle Brown Farm and the Earle Brown Commons residential development in 1986.
In that case, the City sought to vacate 10' on either side of Earle Brown Drive and
attach the land to the adjacent parcels. However, it was impossible to obtain title
to the underlying land within a reasonable period of time and so interim variances
were granted from setback and greenstrip requirements and the land we sought to
combine with existing parcels was left out of the final plat. We are still seeking
title to that land, which may be an indication of how long the process can take.
Certainly, imposing such a delay in this case would be an unreasonable burden and a
hardship on the developer. The public benefit of compliance with the ordinance
does not in this case (given the peripheral location and size of the parcel) appear
to equal the potential private cost.
7 -13 -89 -1-
Application No. 89019 continued
As to uniqueness, remnant parcels of vacated right -of -way are somewhat unique, but
do occur in many locations where highway projects have been undertaken. Given the
amount of time it generally takes for such land to be turned back, we are surprised
that the parcel in question was available for development of the cinema site in the
first place. The hardship does seem to be a result of the original highway
department acquisition. However, we would certainly urge the owner to obtain clear
title to this property as soon as possible. Finally, we agree that there will be no
physical detriment to surrounding land or improvements if the variance is granted.
No change in the improvements on this small parcel is proposed or required.
Recommendation
Based on the above evaluation, we recommend approval of the variance request, citing
the following findings:
1. The time delay of the applicant obtaining marketable title to the
small triangle of land is deemed to be an unreasonable burden on
the developer and a hardship in making use of the property.
2. The circumstances involving a remnant of a parcel taken for
right -of -way are somewhat unique.
3. The hardship results from actions orginally taken by the highway
department and not the property owner.
4. There will be no adverse impact on surrounding land or
improvements in the neighborhood.
5. The applicant is urged to obtain marketable title to the small
triangle of land as soon as possible and to combine it with the
larger site for tax purposes.

Project Construction of 38,000 sq. ft. of additional retail building space
plus modifications to the northwest entrance and storm sewer improve -
m nt
e s to the existing Brookdale Square Shopping in Center, a 23 -acre
site.
Location Brookdale Square is located in the northeast quadrant of the inter-
section of Co. Rd. 10 and Shingle Creek Parkway, Brooklyn Center.
Exhibits 1. Project Review Application submitted by Sy Knapp, City of
Brooklyn Center, dated 6/27/89.
2. Drainage Calculations, prepared by Westwood Professional
Services, Inc., dated 6/15/89.
3. Preliminary Plat and Existing Conditions Plan, both prepared by
Westwood Professional Services, Inc., dated 6/23/89.
4. Grading, Erosion Control, and Utility Plan and Details Sheet,
both prepared by Westwood Professional Services, Inc., dated
6/26/89.
Findings 1. The site is located within Shingle Creek Subwatershed LSC5 which
drains directly to Shingle Creek. Shingle Creek is located
immediately west of Shingle Creek Parkway.
2. This project falls under the Commission's review criteria for
redevelopment of existing lands 5 acres or larger for lands zoned
other than single family. The Commission passed a motion at the
June 8, 1989 meeting stating that this project be reviewed with
the understanding than an effort shall be made to meet the
Management Standards for Stormwater Treatment based on practi-
cality and feasibility.
3. The owner proposes constructing a 25,000 sq. ft. addition to the
east side of the existing retail building and a 13,000 sq. ft.
addition to the north side. Both proposed additions will replace
existing parking areas. The proposed storm sewer improvements
consist of relocating the existing storm sewer system in the
vicinity of the additions to accommodate the proposed building
construction. Two proposed skimming structures will retain oils
and floatables from stormwater runoff collected from impervious
areas of 2.2 and 1.4 acres.
4. The northwest entrance to Brookdale Square from Shingle Creek
Parkway will be slightly modified as part of this project. Three
existing catch basins in this area will be replaced with manhole
castings and a skimmer structure is proposed to retain oils and
floatables from a 0.4 -acre drainage area.

5. Silt fence and diversionary dike as shown on the detail sheet are
to be placed as directed by the engineer to provide temporary
erosion and sediment control.
Recommendations The project has been reviewed for conformance with the
Management Standards of the Shingle Creek Watershed Management
Commission and is recommended for approval by the City of
Brooklyn Center with the addition of the following conditions.
1. Roof drainage from the proposed building additions shall
be directed to the parking lot areas where treatment will
be provided by the proposed skimming structures.
2. Responsibility for maintenance of the skimmers shall be
assigned to the fee owner or assumed by the City.
3. The owner's engineer and Commission's engineer shall con -
tinue to work together in an effort to improve the design
of the proposed skimming structures. Upon completion, the
revised design shall be submitted to the Commission's
Engineer for final review.

This Agreement is entered into by hereinafter
called the Developer and the City of Brooklyn Center, a Municipal Corporation, under the laws
of the State of Minnesota, hereafter called the City.
THE WORK
The Developer has received approval of its Development Plans by the City Council of the
City (pursuant to City Ordinances), subject to the execution of this Performance Agreement,
pursuant to the City Council approval of and in accordance with said
Development Plans all of which are made a part hereof by reference. In consideration of such
approval, the Developer, its successors and assigns, does covenant and agree to perform the
work as set forth in the Development Plans, in the aforesaid Approval, and as hereinafter set
forth, upon the real estate described as follows:
The Work shall consist of the improvements described in the Development Plans, in the
aforesaid Approval (to include any approved subsequent amendments) and shall be in compliance
with all applicable Statutes, Codes and Ordinances of the City.
COMPLETION DATE
The undersigned Developer agrees that the said Work shall be completed in its entirety
on or before the day of 19 , and no extension of time shall be valid un-
less the same shall be approved in writing by the City Manager. Said extension of time shall
be valid whether approved by the City Manager before or after the completion date and failure
of the City to extend the time for completion or to exercise other remedies hereunder shall
in no way work a forfeiture of the City's rights hereunder, nor shall any extension of time
actually granted by the City Manager work any forfeiture of the City's rights hereunder. It
. shall be the duty of the Developer to notify the City of completion of the Work at least 10
days prior to the Completion Date and to call for final inspection by employees of the City.
MAINTENANC
The Performance Agreement, in its entirety, shall remain in full force and effect for a
period of one year after actual completion of the Work to determine that the useful life of
all Work performed hereunder meets the average standard for the particular industry, profession,
or material used in the performance of the work. Any work not meeting such standard shall not
be deemed complete hereunder. Notice of the date of Actual Completion shall be given to the
Developer by the Director of Planning and Inspection of the City.
FINANCIAL GUARANTEE
The Developer agrees to furnish the City with a Financial Guarantee in the form of a cash
escrow, a bond issued by an approved corporate surety licensed to do business in the State of
Minnesota and executed by the Developer as principal, or other Financial Guarantee as approved
by the City Managerof the City, in the amount of $ Such Financial Guarantee shall
continue in full force and effect until the City Council shall have by motion approved and
accepted all of the Work undertaken to be done, and shall thereby have released the Surety
and /or Developer from any further liability; provided however, that the City Council may by
motion reduce the amount of the Financial Guarantee upon partial completion of the work, as
certified by the City Manager. Such Financial Guarantee shall be conditioned upon the full
and faithful performance of all elements of this Agreement and upon compliance with all
applicable Statutes, Codes, and Ordinances of the City, and shall further be subject to the
following provisions which shall be deemed to be incorporated in such Financial Guarantee and
made a part thereof.
NOTICE
The City shall be required to give prior notice to the corporate surety and the Developer
of any default hereunder before proceeding to enforce such Financial Guarantee or before the
City undertakes any work for which the City will be reimbursed through the Financial Guarantee.
Within 10 days after such notice to it, the surety shall notify the City in writing of its in-
tention to enforce any rights it might have under this Performance Agreement or any Performance
Bond by stating in writing the manner in which the default will be cured and the time within
which such default will be cured, said time not to exceed 60 days unless approved by the City.
(over please)
REMEDIES FOR BREACH
At any time after the Completion date and any extensions thereof, or during the Maintenanc
Period, if any of the work is deemed incomplete, the City Council may proceed in any one or mor
of the following ways to enforce the undertakings herein set forth, and to collect any and all
overhead expenses incurred by the City in connection therewith, including but not limited to
engineering, legal, Manning and litigation expenses, but the enumeration of the remedies here-
under shall be in addition to any other remedies available to the City.
1) C ompletion by the City The City, after notice, may proceed to have the Work
done either by contract, by day labor, or by regular City forces, and neither
the Developer nor the Corporate Surety may question the manner of doing such
work or the letting of any such contracts for the doing of any such work.
Upon completion of such Work the Surety and /or the Developer shall promptly
pay the City the full cost thereof as aforesaid. In the event that the
Financial Guarantee is in the form of a Performance Bond, it shall be no
defense by the Surety that the City has not first made demand upon the
Developer, nor pursued its rights against the Developer.
2) Specific Performance. The City may in writing direct the Surety or the Developer
to cause the Work to be undertaken and completed within a specified reasonable
time. If the Sure and/or nd /or the Developer fails to cause the Work to be done
and completed in a manner and time acceptable to the City, the City may proceed
in an action for Specific Performance to require such work to be undertaken.
3) Deposit of Finacial Guarantee In the event that the Financial Guarantee has
been submitted in the form of a Performance Bond, the City may demand that the
Surety deposit with the City a sum equal to the estimated cost of completing
the work, plus the City's estimated overhead expenses as defined herein, in-
cluding any other costs and damages for which the Surety may be liable hereunder,
but not exceeding the amount set forth on the face of the Performance Bond,
which money shall be deemed to be held by the City for the purpose of reimbursing
the City for any costs incurred in completing the Work as hereinbefore specified,
and the balance shall be returned to the Surety. This money shall be deposited
with the City within 10 days after written demand therefor, and if the Surety

to proceed against the Surety with whatever legal action is required to obtain
the deposit of such sum.

ceed to complete the Work, reimburse itself for the cost of completion as de-
fined hereunder, and return the balance to the Developer.

if any, and reference to this Performance erformance Agreement shall be made in any such bond, but no
corporate surety shall assert as a defense to performance hereunder, any lack of reference
in the bond to this Performance Agreement.

appropriate Financial Guarantee shall be submitted to the City.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
Attached please find a copy of the Maxfield Research Group report titled, 'The Brooklyn Center
Housing Market: A Study of Trends and their Impact on the Community." This is the final report on
the housing study authorized by the City of Brooklyn Center. On Monday evening the staff will be
prepared to discuss the process for reviewing the report and taking action on recommendations
coming from the report.
As per the Council's previous instructions, the report is being onsidered b the Housing Commission
g Y 9
and the Planning Commission. In August there will be scheduled a joint meeting in which a formal
presentation of the report will be made to the commissions.
Council should also understand that the staff is in the process of preparing an RFP for a similar
market analysis for the commercial /industrial sectors of Brooklyn Center. That RFP will be coming
before the City Council within the next two to three months. We also believe that as a part of the
review of the housing market study additional phases of work and activity will be incurred. Some
have suggested the second phase of the project should be to analyze the report, critique the
recommendations, and a third phase would be to develop an implementation or action plan.
RECOMMENDATION
We request the Council conduct a general discussion of the process of reviewing and implementing the
housing market analysis study and pay special attention to the need for additional staff and possibly
consultant input into this process so as to effectively move it along on a timely basis.

Dear Gerry;
The City of Robbinsdale will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, August 1,
on water surface
from residents
1989 to receive input o the of
regulations for south Twin Lake. In 1988, legislation was passed stating
that south Twin Lake is wholly situated within Robbinsdale. That means
that the City of Robbinsdale may change water surface regulations with
the approval of the Department of Natural Resources only. Currently,
there are water surface regulations for all watercraft as stated by Robbins-
dale ordinance that has been approved by the DNR. The Robbinsdale City
Council will attempt to determine if further restrictions for south Twin
Lake are necessary.
The City of Robbinsdale is aware of the Twin Lake study currently being
undertaken by the City of Brooklyn Center. It is our intention to work
with the cities of Crystal and Brooklyn Center to obtain the best possi-
ble plan for Twin Lake, expecially for the bikeway /walkway system which
will connect the cities. Also of concern will be to study the water qual-
ity and water surface regulations.
Please copy this letter to all departments within your city that you deem
necessary. If you have any questions, please contact me at 537 -4534, Ext.
32.
Sincerely,
ussell D. Fawbush

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes
Explanation
At is July 19 meeting, the Administrative Traffic Committee approved four
recommendations to the City Council. A summary report on each recommendation is
attached for consideration by the City Council.
Council Action Required
Re: Recommendation No. 1 (East Twin Lake Blvd. /53rd Avenue North):
Determine which method should be used to obtain public discussion and
allow City Council to obtain information needed to make its decision.
Re: Recommendation No. 2 (73rd Avenue from Humboldt Avenue to T.H. 252):
If the Council concurs in this recommendation, adopt motion requesting
Brooklyn Park participation and instruct staff to either conduct a
mailed opinion survey or to conduct a neighborhood informational
meeting.
Re: Recommendation No. 3 (Humboldt Avenue from Woodbine Avenue to 73rd Avenue):
Adopt motion approving this installation and directing staff to
prepare plans and specifications for its construction. Note A
resolution formally approving the project and approving plans and
specifications would be presented to the Council for consideration at

TO: City Council
FROM: Administrative Traffic Committee
DATE: July 19, 1989
Recommendation No. 1
Construction of a concrete traffic island at the intersection of East Twin Lake
Boulevard with 53rd Avenue North (see sketch attached).
Explanation
This is a 4- legged intersection with unusual geometrics and very limited sight
distance for some traffic movements. During the past six years a number of
complaints have been received and the committee has attempted to deal with the
problems (see attachments) - first by installation of painted traffic islands
and warning signs; then by installing Stop signs (for westbound traffic on
53rd Avenue). With each "solution" new problems and new objections have arisen
(see attached correspondence regarding Stop signs currently in place).
The Administrative Traffic Committee recommends construction of a concrete
traffic island as shown on "Exhibit A" attached, at a cost estimated at $2500.
However, before approving this recommendation, the City Council may wish to
conduct some form of hearing. Current policy provides that appeals from the
action taken by the Administrative Traffic Committee may be taken to a Traffic
Appeals Committee. Since no such committee has been appointed, the Council may
wish to follow one of the following procedures:
Alt. No. 1 - Direct the Administrative Traffic Committee to conduct a public
informational meeting, then submit its report to the City Council.
Alt. No. 2 - Set a date on which the City Council will conduct a hearing on this
matter (at a Council meeting) and instruct staff to notify area
residents of the hearing.
Alt No. 3 - Delay action until a Traffic Appeals Committee is appointed,
organized and ready to consider this matter.

Re: Recommendation No. 4 (Xerxes Avenue between 65th Avenue and Shingle Creek
Parkway):
Adopt motion approving this installation and directing staff to
prepare plans and specifications for its construction. Note A
resolution formally approving the project and approving plans and
specifications would be presented to the Council for consideration at
a subsequent meeting.

Dear Mr. Splinter,
I am writing to you in regard to a disconcerting addition to our
neighborhood. April 19, two stop signs were placed at the corners of
53rd Ave. and E. Twin Lake Blvd. Having lived on E. Twin Lake Blvd. for
sixteen years, driving through that "intersection" many times a day, I,
and members of my family, have never seen anything even close to a mishap.
So, we are very suprised by this sudden development. Yesterday, I spoke
with Sy Knapp, who explained that apparently some of my neighbors pestered
the city into putting up the signs. The grounds of this are still unclear
to me.
Mr. Splinter, the signs are not only an eyesore but are functionally
pointless. When turning onto either street, one must slow down considerably,
and common sense dictates that one must look both ways before continuing
the turn. It was enough of an insult when, last summer, yellow lines were
painted to indicate which side of the road to stay on. As a concerned
citizen, I ask you to please evaluate this situation again. Enclosed is
a petition signed by my neighbors who feel as I do. Thank you for your
time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Sweeney

Accident brings city action
To the Editor:
I would Iike to thank the City for installing two stop signs at
East Twin Lake Blvd. and 53rd in Brooklyn Center.
I had called the City three times to talk about how dangerous
a situation I believed existed at that intersection, especially j
after having near accidents on several occasions ... At that point
the person I had spoken with several times was quite annoyed
and told me in a noticeably louder voice to just drive the road
conditions and stop if I thought I should, even if there wasn't a
stop sign there.
Last winter there was an accident at that intersection with in-
juries and multiple car damage. This spring two stop signs were
installed.
Again, thanks Brooklyn Center, for putting those stop signs in.
However, please use better judgment in the future when you get
repeated phone calls from residents ... It took an accident for you
to take action. Luckily, little child wasn't injured and no one
Y� J
was killed or very seriously hurt. Let's keep on trying to work
for preventative, rather than after - the -fact, solutions to public
safety concerns.

Recommendation No. 2
Install sidewalk on 73rd Avenue North between Humboldt Avenue and T.H. 252.
Explanation
The current traffic volume on this section of 73rd Avenue is approximately 3000
to 3300 vehicles per day; median speeds exceed 30 mph and there are a number of
pedestrians who walk along 73rd Avenue - particularly bus passengers going
to /from buses on Humboldt and on T.H. 252.
Because the Brooklyn Center /Brooklyn Park City limits line is located along the
centerline of 73rd Avenue, we recommend that the City of Brooklyn Park be
requested to cooperate with Brooklyn Center on this project, i.e.:
• to agree that the improvement is needed;
• to determine whether the sidewalk should be placed on the north or south
side of 73rd Avenue;
• to determine who will construct the improvement; and
• to agree on cost distribution for the improvement.
In addition, the City Council may wish to have staff obtain public input into
the question of whether the improvement is needed, on which side of the street
it should be constructed, etc.
Two forms for obtaining citizen participation are suggested, i.e.:
Option 1 - a mailed questionnaire
Option 2 - a public informational meeting

Recommendation No. 3
Install a sidewalk on the west side of Humboldt Avenue between Woodbine Avenue
and 73rd Avenue North.
Explanation
A petition requesting the installation of this sidewalk was submitted
approximately a year ago. Subsequently, other property owners objected to the
proposal and the City Council requested that pedestrian counts be taken.
Two pedestrian counts were taken (see attachment).
The Administrative Traffic Committee's recommendation to install this sidewalk
is based on the following factors:
• the traffic volume on Humboldt Avenue is approximately 8000 vehicles per
day;
• this is the only "missing link" in the sidewalk system on the west side of
Humboldt Avenue between 65th Avenue and Brookdale Drive;
• the existing pedestrian counts; and
• our belief that more people will use this route, if the sidewalk is
installed, i.e. - pedestrians are now crossing to the east side of
Humboldt, then back again; and using other alternate routes because of
existing conditions.

Recommendation No. 4
Install sidewalk on the east side of Xerxes Avenue No. from 65th Avenue to
Shingle Creek Parkway.
Explanation
The existing sidewalk on Xerxes Avenue from 59th Avenue to 65th Avenue is
located in the center median. Between 65th Avenue and Shingle Creek Parkway the
sidewalk is located on the west side of Xerxes Avenue.
The new Xerxes Avenue bridge now under construction by MNDOT (to be completed by
October 1, 1989) will provide sidewalks on both sides of the bridge deck.
Residents on the 66th Avenue cul -de -sac (east of Xerxes Avenue) have requested
the installation of sidewalks on the east side of Xerxes Avenue between 65th and
66th Avenues, to provide place for their children to walk to the school
crosswalk at Xerxes and 65th Avenue enroute to /from Garden City School.
The Administrative Traffic Committee recommends approval of the request from the
residents on 66th Avenue and also recommends that the sidewalk be extended north
to Shingle Creek Parkway, using the new sidewalk now available on the Xerxes
Avenue bridge, to create a more complete sidewalk system to serve pedestrian
needs in this neighborhood.
It is noted that between 65th and 66th Avenues the existing right -of -way is very
limited. To allow construction of a 5 -foot wide sidewalk immediately behind the
curb, it will be necessary to obtain a small triangular easement (approximately
3' x 40') from one adjacent property owner. Adequate right -of -way exists
between 66th Avenue and Shingle Creek Parkway.

ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Discussion Item Relating to Retaining a Consultant to Provide Planning and Land Use
Study in the Area of 66th and West River Road
DEPARTMENT OVAL:
Signature - title Director of Planning and Inspection
MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION:
No comments to supplement this report mments below /attached
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
In response to the Request for Proposal we sent out relating to the Planning and Land Use
Study in the area of 66thand West River Road, we have received four such proposals, one
from Westwood Planning which anticipated costs of approximately $8,000, another from
Resolution, Inc. which anticipates costs of approximately $7,000, a proposal from Northwest
Associated Consultants, Inc. for approximately $7,000 and finally, a proposal from Short -
Elliott- Hendrickson, Inc. in an amount of $10,595.
All three of these proposals, we believe, met the criteria set forth in the RFP and all
respondents appear to be capable consultants with the ability to provide the City with
appropriate consulting services.
Evaluation of the proposals has been difficult because of the fact that all consultants
appear to be very capable and has led to this matter being put on the City Council agenda
as a discussion item. We believe we have narrowed the choices to two, that being
Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. and Short - Elliott- Hendrickson, Inc. The cost
differences are obvious, however, we would recommend strong consideration of the Short -
Elliott- Hendrickson proposal as opposed to the less expensive Northwest Associated
proposal. The reason being primarily that the SEH proposal is more comprehensive and
involves more hours of consultant time and we believe a more thorough approach to the
subject matter. They propose a work plan which includes 218 hours in three phases with
11 tasks. The Northwest proposal comprehends four broader tasks and approximately 123
hours for completion of the study. Both studies would be completed within the December
16, 1989 time frame established by the moratorium.
We have attached copies of the two proposals for the City Council's review and con-
sideration. Again, the staff would recommend the SEH proposal based on what appears to
be a more thorough approach to the subject and also, more comprehended public meetings
such as two Planning Commission meetings and a meeting with the neighborhood advisory
group. SEH has also worked closely with the City in this area providing traffic
• analysis along West River Road and a brief traffic analysis relating to the specific
area. SEH also appears to be strong in the traffic analysis area, but also is able to
provide, we believe, the necessary planning and land use analysis necessary for the
study.
SUMMARY EXPLANATION CONTINUED
Page 2
Northwest Associated, on the other hand, is well backgrounded in land use planning
studies as indicated in their general statement of the firm's qualification and
experience.
We believe the Short - Elliott- Hendrickson proposal to be appropriate and would recommend
it, however, if cost considerations are a primary concern, the Northwest Associated
proposal is also appropriate. We believe the City Council should discuss this matter
and give direction to the staff regarding their choice of planning consultant to under-
take the study.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
The area of Brooklyn Center which is the focus of study is
located east of Highway 252 and west of Willow Lane, north of I-
694 to just north of 66th Avenue North. This area is presently a
mix of land use activity and in essence, can be subdivided into
three inter - related but separate blocks of land. North of 66th
Avenue North is a non - conforming single family structure which is
owned and has been converted by MnDOT to a construction field
office. In the land mass south of 66th to 65th, a construction
office building, motel, apartment complex and vacant parcels
presently exist. To the south of 65th Avenue North is an aging
apartment development. The age, condition and functioning of the
apartment complex to the south is characteristic of the entire
study area which suggests probable pending pressure for
redevelopment or upgrading to a higher utilization. The issues
confronting this area are further defined and summarized within
the Planning Commission's 13 April 1989 information sheet and
will not be reiterated here.
In addressing the future of the study area and subsequently
enacting property restrictions, attention must be given to the
Possibility of legal action be brought against the City. While
there can be no assurance made to avoid possible litigation,
steps can be taken as part of the study to protect the City from
a negative judgement. This situation must be recognized and
responded to throughout the work to be completed.
With these considerations in mind, the primary questions which
the study must address are:
1• The appropriate land use which can compatibly exist within
this transition area between Highway 252 and the single
family home east of Willow Drive.
2. The definition of a traffic access and circulation pattern
which will service the properties within the study area yet
minimize the impact upon surrounding and adjacent single
family development.
3. An evaluation of market potential for "preferred" area
development.
nt.
4• A determination
which willaccommodatelnandregovernonthe (desiredgland uses
within the study area.
5• The outline of various means whereby the land use pattern
and circulation for the area can be implemented and
achieved.
1
In the material which follows a work program is first outlined
which identifies how these g
questions will be addressed and
resolved. The next section of this proposal provides a project
time schedule which recognizes the 16 December 1989 lapse of
development moratorium date existing for the study area. A
proposed project budget is subsequently identified. The final
two sections are devoted to the personnel to be assigned to the
project and a description of Northwest's past experience and
references which parallel this study.

I
WORK PROGRAM
Work Task Outline
The study to be undertaken and completed involves individual but
progressive and certainly inter - related tasks which build to a
solution of the study area's future. These tasks are outlined in
the following paragraphs.
Task I. Use Definition and Site /Circulation Layout
The study area has been characterized as "transitional" due to
the low density single family development to the north and east
and the highway frontage and exposure to the west. This
situation along with the relative narrowness of the area presents
a need to identify uses which can be developed or exist which
will take advantage of opportunities presented yet maintain a
harmonious and compatible land use relationship with existing and
continuing uses. A further complication beyond land use is site
design and circulation again as it relates to the transitional
character and parcel(s) configuration. Recent and assumably
fixed improvements to Highway 252 and 66th Avenue North serve to
somewhat limit and restrict study area access. This is in
relation to and combined with the desire to minimize utilization
Of Willow Lane. These factors serve to further compound
development and use acceptability problems.
The foregoing considerations dictate the initial focus of effort
be directed at defining land uses which can properly function
within the study area. This aspect of work is highlighted as
there may be acceptable activities which can be developed, which
do not necessarily require a major change in site layout or
circulation. These considerations at least need to be explored
for the three sub - areas. Beyond this initial effort, compatible
uses in a more general sense also need to be identified as a
guideline for acceptable area development. These determinations
will subsequently contribute to the formulation of site
configuration and circulation plans required to insure
simultaneous full utilization and access with necessary "border"
protections.
With regard to the use and site /circulation plans, Northwest
would propose to utilize an alternative, test system approach.
Various uses, including those which have recently been proposed
as well as site layouts, would be prepared and measured against a
set list of evaluation criteria. This approach is expected to
yield a thoroughly documented and legally defensible rationale
for acceptable uses and development configuration. In this
regard, this approach will provide City decision - makers as well
as neighborhood and study area property interests with a full
explanation and basis upon which to resolve the area's future.
3
4
Task II. Market Assessment
It is the expectation that Task I will yield a limited number of
developments ments a
p nd uses which are acceptable from a physical,
P P Y
comprehensive planning perspective. While this context is not
driven by immediate market concerns, the development potential
and realization does deserve consideration at least in terms of
eventual realization. To a limited extent, therefore, Northwest
will provide a market study assessment which will define present
and future market conditions and expectations. This effort will
be based solely on secondary, available data and will be provided
as supplemental information to be considered in relationship to
land use and site /circulation plans.
Task III. Zoning Determination
As an initial means to govern as well as implement the land use
and site circulation plans for the study area, proposed zoning of
the various parcels in question will be defined. This may
involve the utilization of existing zoning districts and
standards or may also include recommendations on new measures not
currently contained within the present Brooklyn Center Zoning
Code. A planned unit development as a zoning district is one
such possible example.
Task IV. Physical Implementation
Beyond a passive Zoning Ordinance approach, attention will also
be directed to outlining various and alternative City actions
which may be utilized to bring about the realization of the land
uses and site /circulation plans formulated for the study area.
It is expected that the information will be presented in itemized
form which will permit City decision - makers to clearly define the
extent of involvement and financial commitment.
Additional Considerations
Throughout the various tasks of the study, City staff
participation in the form of advice and direction will be a
constant requirement. This is to insure the focus of study is
within parameters which are at least generally acceptable to City
policy makers. Northwest is fully committed to provide the
channel and opportunity for such staff involvement.
Northwest is also readily available to assist City staff with the
study presentations and considerations by study area property
owners, neighborhood groups, the Planning Commission and City
Council. Furthermore, although undefined at present, Northwest
is readily available to assist with zoning (text or map) changes g;
and /or comprehensive plan amendments which may result from the
findings and approval of the area study.
4
PROJECT SCHEDULE
The scheduling of the various aspects of the project is governed
to a major extent by the lapse of development moratorium which is
16 December 1989. The scope of the study combined with the
availability and number of Northwest personnel provides for this
date to be a realistic deadline for completion.
Based upon the City's request for proposal which indicates
consultant selection on 24 July 1989, work would be expected to
be immediately initiated. With this starting date, Northwest
would commit to having all work completed and ready for public
consideration no later than 15 September 1989 at the very latest.
This would allow up to three months for public and City decision -
maker consideration and study finalization.

PROJECT BUDGET
Based upon the tasks defined in a preceding section plus the
various project personnel to be assigned to the work involved, a
preliminary budget has been calculated. In summary, this is as
follows:
Northwest Charges:
Work Program
Task I 56 hours $2,000.00
Task II 19 hours 825.00
Task III 16 hours 1,000.00
Task IV 32 hours 1,700.00
Subtotal $5,525.00
Reports - 25 copies 125.00
Typing /Expenses 350.00
Total $6,000.00
Other Probable Costs:
Short /Elliott /Hendrickson Review
Traffic 1,000.00
City Attorney (Zoning /Implementation) Undetermined
Meeting attendance (property owner/
neighborhood /Planning Commission/
City Council) $ 150.00
per session
per person
Note should be made that the costs involved in the various work
program tasks is dependent upon the individuals involved. The
more senior the staff person the higher the resulting hourly
charge. It is also anticipated that no more than one Northwest
staff person would be required per meeting. Meetings with staff
conducted as part of the study have been included in the work
tasks estimates.
To be emphasized is the fact that this budget is preliminary and
subject to further review and discussion with the City. The
estimated $6,000.00 Northwest charge is, however, viewed as a
maximum potential cost figure.

PROJECT PERSONNEL
The study to be undertaken will require Northwest to draw upon a
variety of its personnel as it relates to the area of specialty
to be addressed. These individuals plus a description of their
study contribution is detailed in the following text.
David R. Licht, President of Northwest, will be the project
manager plus contribute to a varying degree in all work tasks to
be completed. In this regard, he will complete primary
production work in the zoning considerations defined as Task III
and use definition analysis which is part of Task I. He also
will be responsible for staff contract plus public meetings and
presentation of study findings and recommendations. This level
and extent of participation is based upon Mr. Licht's twenty -two
years of professional planning experience.
Mr. Steve Grittman, a senior designer with Northwest, will
actively be involved in the site /circulation planning to be
completed as part of Task I. Mr. Grittman has eleven years of
experience in urban design and as a result, has worked on
numerous similar projects. Mr. Grittman will be primarily
assisted by Mr. Robert Kirmis, a Northwest urban designer with
three years experience. These two individuals along with Mr.
Licht will comprise the staffing for Task I.
The market assessment analysis (Task II) and the implementation
evaluation (Task IV) will be the primary responsibility of Mr.
Alan Brixius, a Northwest senior planning with ten years of
professional work. During this period, Mr. Brixius has
specialized in such matters and recently has been assigned such
work in the Cities of New Hope, Wayzata and Buffalo. Mr. Brixius
will receive support from Mr. Licht as well as Daniel H. Wilson,
a Northwest associate and director of financial analysis. Mr.
Wilson's career spans twenty years during which he has
specialized in all aspects, both private and public.
Resumes of the project personnel are contained in Exhibit A of
this proposal.
As part of this section, we would also like to highlight the fact
that our firm has worked jointly and cooperatively with Short,
Elliott, Hendrickson. This is both a past and present situation.
While we also understand that SEH is a competitor on the project,
we would foresee that if Northwest is selected for the work that
we would have no difficulty in working with them and having them
contribute on traffic anaysis.

REFERENCES
As stated in the cover letter of this proposal, the study to be
completed parallels the specialties and services which Northwest
Associated Consultants provide. Exhibit B of the proposal
contains a full list of past projects which Northwest has
completed. We have however highlighted several specific projects
below which we believe directly relate to similar cases as the
Brooklyn Center study.
Lakeville, Minnesota - Speedy Market Site Study and Lawsuit.
This case involved a proposal to develop a convenience
gas /grocery operation on a small tract of land immediately
adjacent to single family development. Alternative use and
development concepts were prepared and evaluated and on this
basis, the City rezoned the property. Subsequent legal action
against the City was successfully defended. Reference: Roger N.
Knutson, City Attorney, 455 -1661.
New Hope, Minnesota - 42nd Avenue Redevelopment Study. This case
involved planning for the reconfiguration (land parcels and
circulation) and redevelopment of 42nd Avenue North from the
City's east border to Winnetka Avenue. The project, with
implementation assistance, is presently being pursued.
Reference: Jeannine Dunn, Administrative Assistant, 531 -1521.
Buffalo, Minnesota - Highway 55 Corridor Study. A redesign . of
property access and land use classifications was undertaken for
coordination of development and access. The study is currently
being reviewed by MnDOT for consideration as part of overall
Highway 55 improvements. Reference: Merton Auger, City
Administrator, 1 682 -1181.
Lakeville, Minnesota - Goff Development Proposal and Lawsuit. In
this case, the developer proposed to construct multiple family
housing through a planned unit development. The land was zoned
for twenty years to accommodate such use. Upon review and
consideration of the case as assisted by Northwest, the City
concluded a lower density development was desirable and as a
result, the property was rezoned accordingly. Subsequent legal
action was brought against the City which was successfully
defended and the rezoning decision upheld. Reference: Roger N.
Knutson, City Attorney, 455 -1661.
Northwest is also more than capable to assist the City in the
formulation of Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance
amendments. As a firm, we have completed such work in over r 75
communities. This also includes substantial dealings with the
Metropolitan Council as well as protected river areas and the
DNR.
Information on additional projects can be supplied if the City
believes this necessary and of benefit.

consulting firm incorporated in 1973 and officed in the Twin
Cities of Minneapolis -St. Paul, Minnesota. While the company
provides land use planning and development services to both

assistance to municipalities. A major specialty and significant
portion of Northwest's operation is oriented towards technical
analysis and evaluation of proposed private development projects
on behalf of local units of g overnment. In many cases, this
service is provided on a continuing basis for all development
requests submitted to a client. In other instances, Northwest is
called upon to assist City staff and officials in specialized
circumstances involving a complex or highly controversial project
where the extensive experience of the firm and its personnel can
contribute to decision - making. In this latter case, assistance
is provided to Planning Commissions and City Councils as well as
expert testimony in legal actions.

FIRM QUALIFICATION AND EXPERIENCE
COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING/DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE UPDATES
In regard specifically to comprehensive planning and ordinance
projects, Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. has adopted the
most modern techniques and approaches. A supreme, overriding
concept is the plans and ordinances should be the community's and
not the consultant's. Such an approach demands community
decision - makers, staff and citizen involvement and participation.
This concept has evolved with the intent of making plans and
ordinances more implementation oriented. Assuming the community
has been involved, directed and understands its plans and
regulations, the potential for utilizing these tools and
realizing community improvement is increased substantially.
As just inferred, implementation is also a basic concern. Every
attempt possible is made by Northwest to create practical,
action - responsive plans and recommendations. Facilitating this
operation objective is the multi - disciplinary nature of
Northwest, notedly the economic capability and experience.

o West River Road EAW, April 1989'
0 0 69th Avenue Corridor Traffic Study, March 1988
o Retail & Office Development Traffic Study, May 1985`
Our experience has allowed tracking actual results compared to
planning forecasts, improving our understanding of development
trends within the City. Our work for the City has stressed
development of realistic recommendations combined with successful
implementation plans.
SEH has recently become more involved in land use, zoning and
site review issues. Two additional planners have joined our staff
within the last year. Randy Thoreson and Cindy Gray add
considerable experience in the areas of land use planning and
site evaluations. We believe our transportation and planning
experience can greatly assist the City during the implementation
of study recommendations.
We have reviewed the study scope from the request for proposal
and feel our work program can be comfortably completed before the
moratorium expiration in December.
The hours and costs have been estimated for the tasks as outlined
in this proposal. We estimate the total cost for the study to be
$10,595 including five anticipated staff meetings with the City,
• planning commission meeting, and a public meeting. We estimate
• cost of $250 for each additional meeting required.

WORK PLAN
ISSUES AND CONCERNS
The City of Brooklyn Center has requested proposals to provide
consulting services for a planning and land use study for the
property at 6626 West River Road and all land south of 66th
Avenue North and north of I -694 between Willow Lane and T.H. 252.
The interest in reviewing existing and future land uses was
sparked by a recent rezoning request, however a number of
questions previously existed for other properties within the
area.
Concerns have been expressed regarding the proper land use
classifications for properties in the area due to perceived
existing incompatibilities of adjacent uses. The property at 6626
West River Road is currently owned by Mn /DOT and is zoned R -5
(multiple family). There are concerns whether this use is
compatible with nearby single family residential development.
Immediately south of 66th Avenue North to 65th Avenue, the
westerly half is zoned C -2 Commerce and the easterly half is
zoned R -5 multiple residential. Questions have arisen regarding
the potential C -2 area intensity and whether the R -5 is an
adequate buffer between the C -2 and the single family residential
area east of Willow Lane. A development proposal for a service
station /convenience store /car wash currently exists on the Atkins
property south of 66th Avenue North on the north half of the C -2
zoned property. The rezoning request was to change the R -5
designation of the parcel on the east to C -2.
South of 65th Avenue North there are questions whether the
apartments in the existing R -5 zones are compatible with the
surrounding land uses and proximity of I -694 and T.H. 252.
- 1 -
This area is also environmentally sensitive. It is contained
within the Minnesota Critical Rivers Area Boundary of the
Mississippi River. This program is administered by the State
Environmental Quality Board and exists as an overlay district
within Brooklyn Center's zoning code. The primary intent is to
protect and preserve the unique resources, biological and
ecological functions of the river corridor. The Comprehensive
I
Plan contains guidelines restricting commercial zoning in this
area to its present locations.
The area is also immediately adjacent to T.H. 252, a major north-
south expressway which links to the new T.H. 610 Mississippi
River crossing. Environmental studies such as the T.H. 252/T.H.
610 EIS (1982) and the T.H. 252/T.H. 610 North Crosstown Noise
Plan (1984) identified potential traffic - related noise impacts. s
Recommended mitigation measures included the berming constructed
as part of the realignment of T.H. 252. Not all noise - related
lie issues were resolved since it was not feasible to shield all
properties such as those near the signalized intersections of
T.H. 252. Recent environmental analysis relating to the EAW for
s
the West River Road reconstruction has found that property at ,
6626 West River receives noise impacts over the MPCA State
Standards for residential type development.
There are also potential traffic impact concerns related to the
types of land uses which might eventually occur in this area. The f
previous SEH study examined the impacts of alternative land uses
I
for the three parcels within the area bounded by 66th Avenue,
65th Avenue, Willow Lane and T.H. 252. The study found that any
one of a number of alternatives could be adequately served by the
existing roadway system. Changes in other uses outside these
three parcels could add to the potential impacts, thus requiring
some type of mitigation. Questions relating to property access
and traffic circulation need to be addressed.
- 2 -
There is a need to proceed with the study and to complete the
evaluation as soon as possible. A development moratorium, in
effect until December 16, 1989, was enacted by the City. The
owner of the Atkins property would like to resolve land use
issues which affect his service station proposal soon so his
previous agreements with developers are not jeopardized.
STUDY APPROACH AND WORK TASKS
The study is proposed to consist of three phases which are shown
on the accompanying organizational chart.
PHASE I Inventory & Document Existing Conditions
Tasks: Collect pertinent land use, zoning, traffic
and environmental data
PHASE II Evaluation of Land Use Alternatives
Task A: Develop three to four overall alternative
land use scenarios for the area
Task B: Meet with City staff to review and discuss
alternatives
Task C: Revise alternatives based on staff input,
evaluate strengths and limitations
Task D: Meet with City staff to review evaluation
results
. Task E: Meet with Planning Commission to discuss
study progress and findings
Task F: Meet with area property owners and Northeast
Neighborhood Advisory Group to discuss study
findings
Task G: Develop Draft Report incorporating comments
and transmit to City staff

PHASE III Final Report and Implementation
Task A: Develop implementation process for study
recommendations
Task B: Meet with City staff to discuss and refine
implementation process
Task C: Incorporate implementation process
documentation into final report for
transmittal to Planning Commission
The work program anticipates City staff involvement during the
study, especially during development of land use alternatives,
evaluation of alternatives and the implementation process. We
anticipate the City will facilitate the contacts with property
owners and the Northeast Neighborhood Advisory Group.
Evaluation of land use alternatives will consider the following
criteria:
o Compatibility to surrounding uses
o Potential environmental impacts and required mitigation
o Potential traffic and needed mitigation
o General development aesthetics and visibility
o Other considerations such as the ability to encourage
certain types of redevelopment
Overall integration of the land uses with current property
development will be stressed.
Environmental impacts will be evaluated, especially those related
to traffic. Noise impacts will be quantified and potential
mitigation both on and off site will be discussed.
- 5 -
Analysis of traffic impacts will include a more general review of
traffic access and circulation options to minimize the impacts on
adjacent sensitive residential areas and to orientate the traffic
efficiently toward the T.H. 252/66th Avenue intersection. In
order to accomplish this, site parking and circulation, off -site
roads and higher volume roads such as 66th Avenue must exhibit
compatible and supportive design characteristics. Where possible,
examples of desirable configurations will be provided.
POST PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
The key importance to the project is a timely and realistic
implementation plan. Our proposal reflects expertise in the input
and direction of various planning techniques that are applicable
to the subject site area. Zoning classifications which are not
currently included in Brooklyn Center's Zoning Ordinance will be
considered as a possible means of facilitating the development
mix which is desired. Freeway Districts (FD) and Planned Unit
As Development (PUD) will be considered as a potential means of
guiding development. City staff have already reviewed the
possibility of adding a PUD classification to the City's Zoning
Code, so these efforts might support a possible implementation
process.
PROJECT TIME SCHEDULE
Because of the urgency to move forward with the study and land
use implementation program, an accelerated time schedule is
recommended. The final report is anticipated to be completed 14
weeks from date of hire. The following schedule is suggested to
accomplish this:
