constitutional limitations the control of the legislature
over cities is absolute.
Within this framework, the City of Brooklyn Center acts as an agent of the
State in the enforcement of statewide standards and policies as defined in
rule and statute. The City has received Minnesota State aids for streets,
local government aid, police and fire pension aid, peace officers POST board
reimbursement, homestead credits, and building permit surcharge rebates. At
the Federal level, the City has received funding for emergency preparedness

VI. UTILIZATION ANALYSIS
The City conducts separate in -depth utilization analyses of each job group
for minorities and for women (protected groups). The purpose of these
utilization analyses is to determine if minorities and /or women are
currently being underutilized in one or more of our job groups. The results
of these utilization analyses then become the basis for establishing the
objectives detailed in this document.
A. WORK FORCE ANALYSIS
A work force analysis report is prepared annually. This analysis
contains job titles ranked from the lowest paid to the highest paid
within each department. For each job title, the total incumbents, by
race and sex, and total incumbents, by the total males and females, are
listed. This profile includes maximum wage rates for all positions.
B. JOB GROUPS
The establishment of job groups is a part of the Affirmative Action
program prepared to meet standards by Revised Order No. 4. These job
groups are used solely in the context of the Affirmative Action
objectives of such order. They have no meaning for any other purpose.
For Affirmative Action job groups, see Section VII. - Establishment of
Goals and Timetables.
C. AVAILABILITY ANALYSIS
Availability data was developed for total minorities and total women
for each job group by using data in the July 1987 Minnesota Department
of Jobs and Training Affirmative Action Report for the Minneapolis -St.
Paul Metropolitan Statistical Area. Underutilization will be declared
when there are fewer minorities or women in a particular job group than
would reasonably be expected between their availability.
Underutilization is determined annually for each job group within the
City. The declaration of underutilization in any job group does not
imply or admit any form of discrimination.

VII. ESTABLISHMENT OF GOALS AND TIMETABLES
A. DEFINITIONS
Tables for job groups follow this section. Definitions of line items:
1. Profile #
The total number of employees in the job group is a count of
protected and nonprotected individuals. The number of minorities
and of women are specified under their respective columns.
2. Profile %
These columns are derived by dividing the minorities count by the
total count, and by dividing the women count by the total count,
respectively, then writing the resultant decimal fractions as
percentages rounded to hundredths place.
3. Availability %
For external calculations, the respective percentages of people in
the relevant labor market possessing the necessary skills required
for the specified job group, as well as the interest to work in
that job group, are the base.
4. Underutilized (Yes or No)
To determine underutilization, the profile of women and the
profile of minorities in the specified job group are compared,
statistically, with their respective availabilities. Whenever
there are significantly fewer women or minorities in a job group
than would reasonably be expected by their respective
availabilities, underutilization is declared.
S. Annual goals: Profile #
Goals and timetables are established annually for total minorities
and for total women, for job groups in which they are
underutilized and movement is forecasted.
6. Annual goals: Movement %
This section is applicable only in instances where no movement is
anticipated.
7. Estimated Year of Utilization
The expected year in which the profile percent will equal the
availability percent.
B. GOAL ATTAINMENT 0
The goal, by job group, is equal to the availability for total women
and total minorities in each job group. Selection rates should match
availability.
8
C. TIMETABLES
Projected movement for each job group has been used to estimate the
time frame in which utilization will be attained.
Since goals are set based on availability and are only estimates and
not rigid quotas, it is conceivable that circumstances may sometimes
result in their not being achieved. When this occurs, the department
head must document all good faith efforts.

APPENDIX NO. 2 1987
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY
PURPOSE
It is the City's policy that the work force environment and City
employees will be free of sexual harassment.
POLICY
1. Sexual harassment by City employees toward any member of the
public or any other City employee is prohibited and will be
cause for disciplinary action.
2. This policy will apply to all employees of the City of
Brooklyn Center.
3. Sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to, unwelcome
sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, sexually
motivated physical contact, and other verbal, visual or
physical conduct of a sexual nature when:
a. Submission to such conduct or communication is made
either implicitly or explicitly a term or condition of
an individual's employment;
b. Submission to or rejection of such conduct or
communication by an individual is used as a basis for
an employment decision affecting that individual's
employment;
C. Such conduct or communication has a purpose or effect
of substantially interfering with an individual's work
performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or
offensive working environment.
4. Behavior which may constitute sexual harassment includes,
but is not limited to
a. Verbal harassment (e.g., epithets, unwelcomed sexual
jokes, sexual overtures and innuendos, derogatory
remarks, or slurs);
b. Physical harassment (e.g., touching gestures, assault,
impeding or blocking movement, or any physical
interference with normal work or movement);
C. Visual forms of harassment (derogatory posters, sexual
gestures, offensive and intimate personal gestures or
touching, letters, poems, graffiti, cartoons, or
drawings); and
d. Requests for sexual favors or unwelcome sexual
advances.
26
5. Any employee who feels he or she is being subjected to
sexual harassment in any form, or who believes he or she has
witnessed sexual harassment in any form, must notify his or
her supervisor, the personnel coordinator, or the city
manager immediately. All supervisors are required to report
immediately any allegations to the personnel coordinator or
the city manager.
6. Any complaints which are made will be investigated
confidentially and in a timely fashion. All employees shall
cooperate in any investigation of such a complaint. If the
facts support the allegations, the perpetrator of the sexual
harassment will be subject to disciplinary action. Any
employee found to have made a false complaint of sexual
harassment, to have withheld information, or found to have
given knowingly false information during an investigation of
such a complaint may also be subject to disciplinary action.
"Discipline," as used in this paragraph, shall mean any of
the courses of action described in the City's personnel
ordinance, including dismissal.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached )
As part of the community center remodeling project, the social hall was renamed Constitution Hall.
• A wall emblem, door entry way signs, and a framed copy of the Constitution were purchased and paid
for by the City as part of this project. The Earle Brown Days Committee agreed to cover costs
associated with this signage in the amount of $7570, to be paid in three annual installments beginning
in 1988. During 1988, the Earle Brown Days Committee absorbed some unanticipated costs associated
with the carnival. The committee has requested a reduction in the amount due to the City for the
signage; the reduction would be about equal to the unanticipated expenses.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION Pass a Resolution Reducing the Earle Brown Days

Mr. Bo Spurrier. City Engineer
City of Brooklyn Center
6301 Shingle Creek Parkway
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430
Dear Mr. Spurrier:
This letter documents the completion of the Streetscape Planting Project for
Earle Brown Farm Area (Contract No. 1986 -S; Project No. 1986 -21) by Fair's
Garden Center Inc. This letter also documents the acceptance of the
installation by us, Westwood Planning and Engineering Company.
The project had a completion date of May 30, 1988 but due to drought conditions
and unavailability of some plant materials, the project was completed as of Fall
1988.
The winter of 1987 -1988 lacked adequate snow fall which resulted in minimal to
no snow cover and minimal to below normal moisture conditions. The summers of
1987 and 1988 were both dry, (1988 was abnormally dry and windy). The
cumulative effects of these weather conditions took their toll on installed
plant material and nursery stock yet to be planted. The contractor had a
failure (or rejection) rate substantially higher than usual; requiring us to
insist on repeated replacement.
Fair's could not locate adequate amounts of plant materials to finish planting
Spring 1988 nodes and street trees or to replace plant material that would be
covered under a guarantee period for Spring 1987 and Fall 1987 installation.
For project completion and acceptance, Fair's was at times hard to
reach, however to their credit they did honor the guarantee period on plant
materials and in some instances replaced the same plant materials more than once
(Fall 1987, Spring 1988, Fall 1988).
Sincerely,
WESTWOOD PLANNING & ENGINEERING COMPANY

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached �)
E xplanation /Past Actions
On October 24, the City Council adopted a resolution establishing Water System
]Improvement No. 1988 -23 for Reconditioning of Well No. 8, located at 7230 Camden
Avenue North. At that time, preliminary "Phase I" work consisting of
exploratory drilling and pressure grouting the ceiling of the well cavity had
been completed, and proposals had been received to complete "Phase II" work,
i.e. drill through the grout seal, bail the obstruction from the well chamber
.and return the well to service. Accordingly, the resolution adopted by the
Council approved payment for Phase I work in the total amount of $14,631.25, and
accepted the lowest proposal received for Phase II work in the total amount of
$11,290.00.
Accordingly, the contractor (Layne Minnesota Company) proceeded with Phase II
; work until November 9, at which time it became obvious that the project could
not be completed as planned because conditions found in the well cavity were
greatly different than what was anticipated; i.e.:
The anticipated condition was that after drilling through the grout seal we
would first find a shallow layer of broken limestone (which had caved in
from the top of the well cavity), then find a mixture of broken limestone
and loose sandstone filling the bottom portion of a stable sandstone well
cavity, which could be bailed out with the use of a mechanical bailing
machine.
- The condition which was found was that after drilling through the grout seal
we did first find the shallow layer of broken limestone (as expected).
• However, in trying to bail out the lower portion of the well cavity, it has
been found that the cavity is filled will loose sandstone, and that the
walls of the cavity consist of a very unstable sandstone which continues to
cave in - making it impractical and unproductive to continue to bail out the
cavity using the mechanical bailing machine which the contractor has on the
® job.
Accordingly, a Stop Work Order was issued, to allow re- evaluation of the
project.
Since then, consultations have been held with the contractor, with our staff,
and with Mr. Will Liebenow, a professional engineer with the firm of Short
Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (S.E.H.) who has considerable expertise in the area of
well construction and rehabilitation. Based on these consultations, it is our
opinion that the soil conditions which exist in the cavity of this well are such
that we can never expect the walls of the cavity to stabilize (as they have in
the other 7 wells which the City operates). Rather, it must be expected that
the walls of an open cavity would continue to cave in, making it impossible to
operate this well properly with an "open cavity ".
The recommended alternative to an open cavity well is to install a large screen
into the cavity, then to fill the entire cavity outside of that screen with a
"gravel pack ". Following are the advantages and disadvantages of this
treatment:
Advantage Upon completion, the well is fully stabilized requiring only
minimal, infrequent maintenance of the screen.
Disadvantages
• - the capacity of the well may be reduced slightly
the pumping costs may be increased by as much as 5% to 10%
- the costs for installation of a screen and gravel pack are high (we
estimate that these costs for Well No. 8 will be in the order of
$125,000 to $150,000)
Despite these major disadvantages, it is our opinion that the only other option
is to abandon this well and construct a new one. As noted in our earlier memo,
the estimated cost of a new well is $650,000. On this basis, we believe that
the most cost - effective option is to rehabilitate the existing well, using the
"screen and gravel pack" system.
Accordingly, we have taken the following actions:
1. We have advised the contractor that we wish to terminate the existing
contract and we have negotiated a proposed settlement with him, based on the
amount of work completed, in the total amount of $7,750 (vs. the contract
amount of $11,290). We believe that this is a favorable settlement for the
City.
2. We have obtained a proposal from S.E.H. to provide engineering services
related to the newly - proposed rehabilitation plan. We believe it is
necessary to hire these specialized services since none of the members of
® the City staff have the specialized knowledge skills and experience which
are needed to develop construction plans and specifications and to monitor
the installation of the screen and gravel pack system. In their proposal,
SEH proposes to provide the needed services on an hourly basis, with an
estimated cost of $9,300, and a not -to- exceed cost of $14,000. We believe
this is a fair and reasonable cost for these specialized services, and we
believe that hiring SEH for this work will assure optimal results from the
rehabilitation contract.
Future Action
If this proposal is approved by the City Council, SEH will prepare detailed
plans and specifications for the project, and the project will then be
advertised for bids. If acceptable bids are received, we will recommend that
the Council then award a contract. It is anticipated that all rehabilitation
work can be completed prior to May 1, 1989, so that this well is back "on line"
for the heavy water consumption season.
Council Action Required
A resolution accepting SEH's proposal is provided for consideration by the City
Council.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
Summary Explanation
• On September 6, 1988, City staff recommended to the City Council that additional
trees and plantings be installed at the Centerbrook Golf Course, in two phases,
i.e..
"Phase 2A Installation of large coniferous trees using a tree spade, with
installation completed in the fall of 1988., at a estimated
cost of $11,500; and
"Phase 2B" = Installation of deciduous trees and plantings, either "balled
;and burlapped" or "bare root ", using small equipment, during
the optimal planting season in the spring of 1989. No
estimated cost has been developed for this phase.
Based on City Council,approval of "Phase 2A" on September 6, 1988, that work has
been completed at a cost of $10,230.40.
So as to proceed with Phase 2B, it is recommended that the City employ Brauer
and Associates, the landscape architects who developed plans for the golf
course, to prepare plans, specifications and cost estimates for this work.
Accordingly, we have obtained a proposal from the firm, and they propose to
complete this work based on the following fee schedule:
Prepare preliminary concept plan and cost
estimate for review by City, then develop
plans, specifications and final cost estimate .............$1400 (lump sum)
® Construction observation services, as
needed, on an hourly basis ...... ..........................$1000 (estimate)
Estimated Total Fees $2400
• We believe this proposal to be fair and reasonable and recommend its acceptance
since Brauer and Associates is fully familiar with the golf course and its
needs.
Future Action
If this proposal is approved by the City Council, we will authorize the
consultant to prepare the preliminary plans and cost estimate, then present them
to the Council for review and approval. If these preliminary plans are approved
as submitted, or subject to specified amendments, the consultant would then
prepare final plans and specifications. Bids would then be taken and if
acceptable, a contract for the work would be awarded in time to allow
installation of the landscape materials in spring or early summer of 1989.
Fundine
It is recommended that funding for the landscape architect's fees be
appropriated from the Capital Projects fund. Additional funds, as needed for
construction, would be appropriated at the time that the contract for
construction is awarded.
Council Action Required
A resolution is provided for consideration by the City Council.

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes
Explanation
On October'l0, 1988, the City Council approved the deletion of the construction
S of the Lilac Drive trail (from 57th Avenue North to the Centerbrook Clubhouse -
see attached map) from Contract 1988 -H (i.e. the contract for construction of
the Logan Avenue area improvements and the France Avenue area improvements)
based on our recommendation to establish this as a separate project which would
include "a full evaluation of all alternative trailway designs (including
alternative retaining wall designs), checking for compliance with safety
standards, developing a landscape plan, etc."
I
City is now prepared to proceed with the design of this trailway project.
However, we recommend that the City obtain the services of a landscape
architect to work with us in the preparation of plans and specifications for
landscaping this entire segment and for special design services as needed in
relation to the design of the retaining walls and other special features.
Accordingly, we have obtained a proposal from Brauer and Associates Ltd. to
provide these services. Their proposed fee schedule is as follows:
Prepare landscape plans, specifications
and cost estimates ..... ............................... ..$1500 (lump sum)
Special design services, as needed, on
an hourly basis...... ......... ..........................$ (estimate)
Construction observation services, as
needed, on an hourly basis .. ..............................$ 600 (estimate)
Estimated Total $3900
We believe this proposal to be fair and reasonable and recommend its acceptance,
since this project is to a large degree, an extension of the Centerbrook Golf
Course, which was designed by Brauer and Associates.
Future Action
I£ the proposal is approved, the City and the consultant will develop plans,
specifications and cost estimates for the entire project and submit them to the
City Council for its review and approval. If the Council then approves the
plans and specifications, and authorizes advertisement for bids, and if
acceptable bids are received, the City Council could award a contract for
construction of this project during the summer of 1989.
Funding
Funds for this improvement are available within the Municipal State Aid Street
Fund, Account No. 2611.
Council Action Required
A resolution is provided for consideration by the City Council. It is noted
that this resolution appropriates funds only for the architectural services
relating to the project. Funds for project construction will not be
appropriated until the full estimate of costs for the entire project are
developed.

MANAGER'S REVIEW /RECOMMENDATION:
No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached )
EXPLANATION
® State law allows for seizure and forfeiture of property used in commission of crime
and proceeds of crime and contraband. The law also directs that the proceeds of the
sale of the forfeited property be divided between the city (70 %), the county (20%),
and the state (10 %). The law also requires that the city use its share of the
proceeds to supplement its operating fund or similar fund for use in law enforcement.
From time to time, the City will receive these proceeds. Normal procedure would be
for staff to come to the City Council each time these proceeds are received to ask
the Council to appropriate the funds to the Police.Department budget. However, staff
is requesting authority for the Director of Finance to routinely appropriate these
funds to the police training budget as they are received rather than to come to the
Council each time. We do not expect these forfeitures to amount to a lot of money.
However if, in any one calendar year, it exceeds $5,000 staff proposes to bring the
excess to the Council for its appropriation.
LISTING OF ANY PAST ACTIONS BY THE COUNCIL ON THIS ITEM
None.
ANY FUTURE ACTIONS BY THE COUNCIL THAT WILL BE NECESSARY
Only if forfeitures exceed $5,000 in any calendar year.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
.Authorize the Director of Finance to appropriate proceeds from crime forfeitures
• (not to exceed $5,000) to the Police Department training budget.
SPECIFIC ACTION REQUIRED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
Adopt the attached resolution.
Member introduced the following resolution and moved its
adoption:
RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION APPROPRIATING FORFEITED PROPERTY
TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TRAINING BUDGET
WHEREAS, Section 7.08 of the City Charter does provide for the
increase of a budget appropriation by the City Council if the actual receipts
exceed the estimates, but not to exceed the actual receipts; and
WHEREAS, 1988 Laws of Minnesota C. 665 provides for seizure and
forfeiture of property used in commission of crime and proceeds of crime and
contraband; and
WHEREAS, said laws require that said property kept under said laws may
be used only in the performance of official duties of the appropriate agency
and may not be used for any other purpose; and
WHEREAS, proceeds from the sale of the property kept under these laws
must be disbursed as follows:
70% to the appropriate agency for deposit'as a supplement to its
operating fund or similar fund for use in law enforcement,
20% to the county attorney or other prosecuting agency that handled the
forfeiture,
10% to the state treasury; and
WHEREAS, from time to time, the City will come into possession of such
forfeited funds.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center to authorize the Director of Finance to appropriate said proceeds
to the Police Department Budget, as they are received, to be used for police
training. However, in the event that said proceeds exceed five thousand dollars
in any calendar year, said excess will be reported to the City Council for its
appropriation.

OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
STUDY SESSION
OCTOBER 27, 1988
CITY HALL
CALL TO ORDER
The Planning Commission met in study session and was called to order by Chairman
George Lucht at 7:35 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Chairman George Lucht, Commissioners Molly Malecki, Wallace Bernards, Mike Nelson,
Bertil Johnson and Ellamae Sander. Also present were Director of Planning and
Inspection Ronald Warren, City Engineer Bo Spurrier and Recording Secretary Mary
Lou Larsen. Chairman Lucht stated Commissioner Lowell Ainas was unable to attend
this evening's meeting and was excused.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 22, 1988
There was a motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Malecki to
approve the minutes of the September 22, 1988 Planning Commission meeting as
submitted. Voting in favor: Commissioners Malecki, Bernards, Nelson, Johnson
and Sander. Voting against: none. Not voting: Chairman Lucht, as he was not
present at that meeting. The motion passed.
APPLICATION NO. 88019 (Buetow and Associates, Inc.)
Following the Chairman's explanation, the Secretary introduced the first item of
business, a request for site and building plan approval to construct an approximate
20,000 sq. ft. office building for the City- County Credit Union on the vacant parcel
of land between Park Nicollet Medical Clinic and the Learning Tree Day Care Center.
The Secretary reviewed the staff report (see Planning Commission Information Sheet
for Application No. 88019 attached). He stated that drainage calculations do not
have to be submitted for the 5 -year and 100 -year storm prior to City Council
consideration as indicated in the staff report, but must be submitted to and
approved by the City Engineer before building permits are issued.
Commissioner Bernards asked if the the drive -up window traffic would affect the
nearby Learning Tree Day Care Center. He also asked if there is proper screening
around the day care center. The Secretary responded that there is a fence for
screening. He stated that the first floor of the office building is retail rather
than office with different peaks of traffic, therefore, no major traffic impact is
expected. He noted that he did not believe the bank traffic would adversely effect
the day care operation.
Commissioner Bernards asked what hours are planned for the credit union. The
Secretary answered that they would probably be from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 P.M. weekdays.
He commented the building is attractive and should fit in well with the
surroundings.
Chairman Lucht asked the applicant if he had anything to add. Mod Feders,
representative of the architect, Buetow and Associates, Inc., stated he sensed
there has been a lack of communication on the grading, drainage and utility plans,
but the applicant plans to do what is required. The Secretary asked the applicant
When he plans to get the project underway. Mr. Feders answered they hope to start in
early 1989. Chairman Lucht asked if there is a credit union in the area now.
Thomas Nord, President of City County Credit Union, stated that there is a credit
union office next to the Target store on Shingle Creek Parkway.

Chairman Pro tem Mike Nelson, Commissioners Molly Malecki, Wallace Bernards, and
Ellamae Sander. Also present were Director of Planning and Inspection Ronald
Warren, City Engineer Bo Spurrier and Planner Gary Shallcross. Chairman Pro tem
Nelson noted that Chairman George Lucht and Commissioner Ainas had called to say
they would be unable to attend and were excused.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - OCTOBER 27, 1988

Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Sander to approve the
minutes of the October 27, 1988 Planning Commission meeting as corrected. Voting
in favor: Chairman Pro tem Nelson, Commissioners Malecki, Bernards and Sander.
Voting against: none. The motion passed.
APPLICATION NO. 88018 (Packaging Plus, Inc.)
Following the Chairman's explanation, the Secretary introduced the first item of
business, a request for variance approval from City Council Resolution No. 77 -67,
which governs wall signery along the north walls of 6800, 6820 and 6840 Shingle Creek
Parkway, to allow wall signs not more than 11' above building floor grade. The
Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Commission
Information Sheet for Application No. 88018 attached). The Secretary added that
the landscaping along 69th and the buffer area was intended to screen the industrial
area as much as possible from the residential neighborhood to the north and that it
has been effective in making the Industrial Park compatible with the residential
neighborhood north of 69th Avenue.
Commissioner Bertil Johnson arrived at 7:39 p.m.
Commissioner Bernards asked whether the addresses of the buildings appeared on the
north walls. The Secretary stated that he was not aware that those addresses were
visible from 69th. Mr. James Montgomery of Packaging Plus, Inc. stated that the
addresses were visible from Shingle Creek Parkway, but not from 69th Avenue North.
Commissioner Bernards stated that he had seen the address of Palmer Lake Plaza from
69th Avenue North. The Secretary stated that the building address could be visible
from 69th, but not tenant identification signery.
Commissioner Sander asked whether it was not the contractor's responsibility to
know the City's ordinances before putting up a sign. The Secretary responded in the
affirmative. He added that sign contractors must be licensed and obtain a permit
before putting up signs. Commissioner Sander stated that she was concerned a
variance would set a precedent for other buildings in this area if it were allowed.
The Secretary agreed and added that some tenants may try to erect signs without a
permit if the applicant were successful with his variance request.
11 -10 -88 -1-
r
In response to questions from Commissioner Bernards, the Secretary noted that the
berms and landscaping and lack of access from the industrial buildings to 69th
Avenue North was intended to create a barrier between the Industrial Park and the
residential neighborhood. He stated that that barrier has worked well and that the
Industrial Park has little impact on the residential neighborhood.
Chairman Pro tem Nelson asked Mr. Montgomery if he had anything to add. Mr.
Montgomery noted that the sign was erected without a permit and that he felt somewhat
abused by the sign contractor who does the work part -time and is not a full time sign
contractor. He noted that the sign was visible from 69th Avenue North, but that was
not the intent of putting the sign at 11' above the building floor elevation. He
stated that signs below the 5' height were not very visible to someone who drove
around the building and would be vandalized by kids. Mr. Montgomery added that the
landscaping along 69th Avenue North has grown since 1977 and creates a good visual
barrier. He added that he would be willing to plant additional trees and get the
neighbors approval if it was necessary to obtain the variance. He showed the
Planning Commission one of the letters from the sign that had been purchased.
Chairman Pro tem Nelson stated that the Commission would have to address the
question of uniqueness for a variance to be granted. He asked whether tenants along
69th Avenue North have large signs. Mr. Montgomery stated that one tenant does
along 69th and it has a better type of sign that would not be vandalized. He pointed
out that other tenants do not have the amount of traffic that he has coming to his
space.
Commissioner Bernards asked what level the sign had to be to be visible over the
berm. Mr. Montgomery answered that the sign can be seen at 11' high in winter, but
that it is not very visible during the summertime because of the vegetative
screening.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application No. 88018)
Chairman Pro tem Nelson then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked
whether anyone present wished to speak. Hearing none, he called for a motion to
close the public hearing.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Johnson to close the public
hearing. The motion passed unanimously.
In response to a question from Commissioner Johnson, the Secretary stated that the
City's intent in Resolution No. 77 -67 was to keep the signs from being visible from
69th Avenue North. He stated that he did not know what height that would be, but
that certainly they are not visible at 5' above building floor elevation. He stated
that it was up to the applicant to make the case that a higher sign can still be
erected and not be visible from 69th Avenue North.
Chairman Pro tem Nelson stated that he would prefer not to grant a variance, but
perhaps consider a change in the resolution to allow a higher sign that would still
not be visible from 69th Avenue North. Mr. Montgomery added that perhaps a height
could be found that would be out of reach of vandals, but still not be visible. The
Secretary stated that the height to be considered should be the height blocked out by
the earth berms along 69th Avenue North, not the trees. He added that the height
limitations should be consistent for all of the buildings along 69th Avenue North,
not just 6800 Shingle Creek Parkway.
11 -10 -88 -2-
Commissioner Sander stated that she did not see any reason for signs along the north
side of the building since there was no access to the building from 69th Avenue
North. The Secretary added that the freestanding signs in front of the building are
large and are allowed to be 250 sq. ft. in area and 32' in height. Commissioner
Sander stated that there are signs by the doors of the tenant space and that the
tenant also has identification on the marquee signs in front of the property. She
stated that she has never had any problem finding tenants that are so identified.

Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Sander to recommend denial
of Application No. 88018, citing the following findings as the basis for denial:
1. The proposed sign was fabricated and erected in error without a
proper permit. The City, therefore, accepts no responsibility
for the lost value of the sign, nor any responsibility for
erecting the sign without a permit.
2. There is no access to the industrial buildings along the south
side of 69th Avenue North. There is, therefore, no need to
communicate a message to those driving along 69th Avenue North
for directional purposes.
3. The proposed sign would constitute an unnecessary intrusion into
the visual environment of the residential neighborhood north of
69th Avenue North.
4. A sign not more than 5' high is very readable to people on the
property looking for a given business on the premises.
5. The Packaging Plus, Inc. business at 6800 Shingle Creek Parkway
is not a unique sort of business relative to other businesses
located in the buildings adjacent to 69th Avenue North.
6. The Standards for a Sign Variance contained in Section 34 -180 are
not met in this situation. (For a variance to be granted, all
standards must be met and are not met in this case).
Voting in favor: Chairman Pro tem Nelson, Commissioners Malecki, Bernards and
Sander. Voting against: Commissioner Johnson. The motion passed.
Chairman Pro tem Nelson asked whether there should be direction on the height of
allowable signs. The Secretary stated that if the applicant is willing to provide
information on the height of signery that cannot be seen from 69th Avenue North, the
Commission could table the application until further information is submitted.
However, he added that would require a motion to reconsider the motion for denial.
Chairman Pro tern Nelson suggested that the Commission recommend holding up City
Council consideration of the variance until further information was provided, but
that he felt the motion to deny the variance expressed the Commission's opinion
accurately.
ACTION RECOMMENDING HOLDING APPLICATION NO. 88018 FROM CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
UNTIL FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE HEIGHT OF SIGNS CAN BE SUBMITTED
Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Johnson to hold Application
No. 88018 from City Council consideration until the applicant submits further
information on the height of signs which cannot be visible from 69th Avenue North.
Voting in favor: Chairman Pro tern Nelson, Commissioners Malecki, Bernards,
Johnson and Sander. Voting against: none. The motion passed.

APPLICATION NOS. 88020, 88021 and 88022 (Brooklyn Center Economic Development
Au oorrit
The Secretary then introduced the next three items of business, a request for site
and building plan and special use permit approval for restoration and reuse of the
Earle Brown Farm as an exhibit /banquet hall, restaurant, office space and bed and
breakfast complex; a request for special use permit approval to have off -site
accessory parking for the Earle Brown Farm located on the site of Brookdale
Corporate Center III at 6160 Summit Drive; and a request for an interim variance to
allow a 5' greenstrip adjacent to Earle Brown Drive at the Earle Brown Farm, 6105
Earle Brown Drive and other addresses. The Secretary reviewed the contents of the
staff reports for these three applications (see Planning Commission Information
Sheets for Application Nos. 88020, 88021 and 88022 attached). The Secretary noted
also that Condition No. 11 for Application No. 88020 has already been fulfilled.
Commissioner Johnson stated that the staff seems to be downplaying the possibility
of the banquet hall ever being full. He asked why this was the case. The Secretary
answered that it was mainly because of the excess parking available from other
office developments in the area. He stated that the Economic Development Authority
can limit the banquet hours to evening or off -peak hours and thereby rely on the
parking available at nearby office buildings. He stated that if banquets were
going to be held during the day, the Economic Development Authority would probably
have to build a ramp. He stated that the City will have to regulate itself in this
regard. Commissioner Johnson asked how much control the EDA would actually have in
the scheduling of these events. The Secretary stated that the EDA will have a
management agreement which can stipulate control of these kinds of events. He also
noted that there is excess parking available on the office sites for use by the Farm.
Commissioner Bernards asked whether the plan will accommodate the movement of
pedestrians from other sites onto the Farm site. The City Engineer answered that
the plan adds sidewalk in Earle Brown Drive and in the Farm complex itself.
Commissioner Bernards asked whether there would be parking on- street. The City
Engineer stated that Earle Brown Drive and Summit Drive are not signed for no
parking, but that Summit Drive is a four -lane street and that no parking would be
allowed as a practical matter. Commissioner Bernards acknowledged this, but
pointed out that there would probably be parking at other locations in the area and
that pedestrians would walk into the Farm complex. The City Engineer acknowledged
this, but added that there were sidewalks serving the Farm complex to accommodate
these pedestrian movements.
Commissioner Sander inquired as to the 41 parking spaces on the Brookdale Corporate
Center III site. The EDA Coordinator stated that the City has rights to 41 spaces on
the Brookdale Corporate Center III site and that these rights have been filed with
the deed to the property. Commissioner Sander stated that parking is tight on the
Brookdale Corporate Center III site at present and that the building is not filled
yet.
Chairman Pro tem Nelson asked whether the EDA Coordinator had anything further to
add. The EDA Coordinator then reviewed with the Planning Commission renderings of
the site and the buildings of the Earle Brown Farm complex. Regarding parking, he
stated that he was discussing with building owners in the area the possibility of
using their lots on an event by event basis. He stated that the EDA does not want to
build a ramp that may never be used. He stated that it was the intention of the EDA
to wait to see how the hippodrome functioned before deciding on building a ramp. He
reviewed the layout and function of the hippodrome building and also, the use of the
stable and the bed and breakfast. He stated that rooms at the bed and breakfast
would go for $70 to $120 per night with breakfast. The EDA Coordinator also stated
that the City cannot sell the site to someone else. He pointed out that the property
11 -10 -88 -4-
was bought with Community Development Block Grant Funds and that the City must
continue to own it since it was acquired for a public purpose. He added that people
are already showing interest in coming to the Farm for trade shows. Commissioner
Sander added that the Farm could be used for wedding receptions. The EDA
Coordinator agreed and stated that other people have already indicated that this is
a possibility.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application Nos. 88020, 88021 and 88022)
Chairman Pro tern Nelson then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked
whether anyone present wished to speak regarding the applications. Hearing no one,
he called for a motion to close the public hearing.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Bernards seconded by Commissioner Malecki to close the
public hearing. The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Johnson noted the lights in the parking area and suggested that the EDA
make the lighting look like farm lighting. The EDA Coordinator answered that the
light fixtures have not been finally decided, but that they wanted them to be
nonobtrusive and to provide safety to pedestrians. Mr. John Barbour, an architect
working on the project, pointed out that the 20' tall poles would only be used on the
perimeter of the site, not in the interior.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 88018
Applicant: Packaging Plus, Inc.
Location: 6800 Shingle Creek Parkway
Request: Sign Variance
The applicant requests approval of a variance from City Council Resolution No. 77-
67, which governs wall signery along the north walls of 6800, 6820, and 6840 Shingle
Creek Parkway, to allow wall signs not more than 11 feet above the building floor
grade. The property in question (6800 Shingle Creek Parkway) is zoned I -1 and is
bounded on the north by 69th Avenue North, on the east by the Earle Brown Farm
Apartments, on the south by Medtronic and Shingle Creek Parkway, and on the west by
the Speculative Industrial Building #5 (6820 Shingle Creek Parkway). Signs are
permitted accessory uses in the I -1 zoning district. However, City Council
Resolution No. 77 -67 (attached) limits the height of signs along the north wall of
6800, 6820 and 6840 Shingle Creek Parkway to no more than five (5) feet above the
building floor grade.
The applicant, Mr. James Montgomery, has submitted a letter (attached) in which he
argues for a "temporary or permanent variance per Section 34 -180 of the Sign
Ordinance" (also attached). He notes that the sign was put up (and paid for) by
Porter Signs without a permit and was removed by Packaging Plus on September 24,
1988. As to the standards for a sign variance contained in Section 34 -180, Mr.
Montgomery argues that they have experienced a hardship for seven years with
customers and vendors having difficulty in locating their office. He adds that it
would be an additional hardship to have paid for the sign and receive no benefit from
it. He states that the proposed sign is appropriate for visitors circling the
building looking for the tenant space. He adds that the sign which has been
constructed is too large and fragile to be placed at the 5' height limit and would
probably be vandalized.
With regard to uniqueness, Mr. Montgomery states that the resolution governing
signery on the north sides of these buildings testifies to the uniqueness of them.
He argues that his business is unique from others in the building in the number of
customers that come to his offices. With regard to possible detriment to the public
welfare, Mr. Montgomery discusses the aesthetics of the proposed sign and argues
that it is definitely not a blight on the surroundings. He points out that
landscaping and berming in the buffer strip along 69th obscure the sign about 907o and
that residents probably won't object.
Mr. Montgomery concludes his letter by offering a revision of City Council
Resolution No. 77 -67. The revision would allow signs up to 11 feet above the
building floor elevation.
Staff are not convinced that there is a particular hardship suffered by placing the
sign below the 5' height limit. People traveling around the building in search of
Packaging Plus are just as, if not more, likely to see a lower sign than a higher
sign. While it would be easier to vandalize a lower sign, it would also be easier to
repair and maintain. With respect to uniqueness, we do not regard Packaging Plus as
a unique business along 69th Avenue North. To allow Packaging Plus to have a sign
11' high would certainly open the door to all other businesses along 69th to have
11 -10 -88 -1-
Application No. 88018 continued
such signs. This is no doubt why Mr. Montgomery recommends at the conclusion to his
letter an amendment to Resolution No. 77 -67 to allow all the businesses along 69th to
have signs up to 11' above building floor grade. We do not support such a revision
as it would be an unnecessary intrusion into the visual environment of the
residential neighborhood to the north. There is no access to the industrial
buildings from 69th Avenue North. There is, therefore, no need to identify tenants
along the north sides of those buildings.
With respect to detriment to the public, the applicant argues that the proposed sign
is aesthetically pleasing and offends no one. It may well be an attractive sign,
but it is the intrusion such a sign makes into the visual environment of the
residential neighborhood along 69th Avenue North which Resolution No. 77 -67 seeks
to preclude. Whether the sign is attractive or not is not the issue. The fact is it
would constitute an unnecessary message bombarding the consciousness of those who
drive or live along 69th Avenue North. We strongly recommend that the variance
request be denied and that City Council Resolution No. 77 -67 be kept as is.
The following findings are recomended as a basis for the denial:
1. The proposed sign was fabricated and erected in error without a
proper permit. The City, therefore, accepts no responsbility
for the lost value of the sign.
2. There is no access to the industrial buildings along the south
side of 69th Avenue North. There is, therefore, no need to
communicate a message to those driving along 69th Avenue North.
3. The proposed sign would constitute an unnecessary intrusion into
the visual environment of the residential neighborhood north of
69th Avenue North.
4. A sign not more than 5' high is very readable to people on the
property looking for a given business on the premises.
5. The Packaging Plus business at 6800 Shingle Creek Parkway is not a
unique sort of business relative to other businesses located in
the buildings adjacent to 69th Avenue North.
6. The standards for a sign variance contained in Section 34 -180 are
not met in this situation.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 88020
Applicant: Brooklyn Center E.D.A.
Location: 6105 Earle Brown Drive, etc.
Request: Site and Building Plan /Special Use Permit
Location /Use
The applicant requests site and building plan and special use permit approval
to restore the Earle Brown Farm complex for multiple uses, including an
exhibit /banquet hall, restaurant, office space and bed and breakfast motel.
The property in question is presently zoned I -1 and is bounded on the north and
east by Earle Brown Drive, on the south by the Earle Brown Commons apartments
and the Brookdale Corporate Center III parking lot, and on the west by
Brookdale Corporate Center III and vacant I -1 zoned land. All of the proposed
uses are commercial uses allowed by special use permit in the I -1 zoning
district. The hippodrome is to be used as an exhibit and banquet hall; the
horsebarns as a restaurant, lounge and offices; the four barns on the north
side of the complex as offices; and the residential complex along the west side
of the site as a bed and breakfast motel.
Access /Parking
The proposed plan calls for four access drives off Earle Brown Drive and one
shared access off Summit Drive. The southerly access off Earle Brown Drive
will exceed the 30' maximum stipulated in Section 35 -703 of the Zoning
Ordinance. The width of the driveway is necessary for fire truck access and
manuvering room for trucks backing into the loading docks. The loading docks
are located on the east side of the expanded hippodrome because to put them on
the west side would destroy the mall area surrounded by the buildings and would
thereby significantly detract from the historic character of the site which is
being sought. Two more access drives are proposed opposite the stable and one
access is proposed at the northwest corner of the site to be shared in the
future with Brookdale Corporate Center IV building (as yet not built).
Parking is to be provided to the north and east of the complex of buildings.
Also a small, 41 -stall parking lot southwest of the site, located on the site
of Brookdale Corporate Center III site, will be dedicated to the use of the
Earle Brown Farm complex. The City does not have a geographic easement as
such, but we do have a parking agreement with Ryan Construction Co. granting
the City the right to use 41 excess stalls on the Corporate Center III site for
use by the Earle Brown Farm complex. There is however, a 41 stall lot that is
accessible only from the Earle Brown Farm site. Parking provided on the site
plan totals 327 spaces, including 8 handicapped spaces and including the 41
off -site spaces. This is enough spaces to meet the minimum use of the complex.
The key variable is the use of the hippodrome. As an exhibit hall, it
requires a minimum of 111 spaces. The 11 room bed and breakfast requires 13
spaces, the office space (22,171 sq. ft.) requires 111 spaces; and a restaurant
and lounge (163 seats plus 10 employees) requires 87 spaces. The total
required is, therefore, 322 spaces.
-1-
1.7.-10-88
Application No. 88020 continued
However, if the hippodrome is used as a banquet hall, its potential occupancy
is 907 people. In addition, lower level meeting rooms have a potential
occupancy of 227 persons. At one space per two seats plus one per two
employees (estimated at 50), the hippodrome alone would require as many as 593
spaces. As a practical matter, the E.D.A. doubts that occupancy will ever reach
this theoretical maximum. Nevertheless, a proof -of- parking is shown with a four
level parking ramp along the north side of the site. We recommend that a proof -of-
parking covenant be filed with the title to the property to insure
that such a ramp can be required in the event the property is sold to a private
party. Before building a ramp to accommodate banquet traffic, the E.D.A. will
pursue agreements with Ryan Construction and with Mr. Robert Bradley to use
their office parking lots during banquet events. Since, these events will
generally be scheduled during evening hours, there should be no conflict with
the office uses. In any event, it should be stressed that the E.D.A. will have
control over the scheduling of events and, if parking problems develop, will be
in a position to provide any necessary ramping to accommodate business at the
hippodrome.
Landscaping
The proposed landscape plan is more than generous. In terms of landscape
points; the plan provides for 2151.5 landscape points on 7.04 acre site, or
over 300 points per acre. (The requirement for office is only 603 points for
this site, or about 85 points per acre.) The plan provides 1660 of those
points with shade trees of varying types (27 Patmore Ash, 37 Pin Oak, 11 Sugar
Maple, 75 Sapporo Autumn Gold Elm, and 16 Regal Elm -these Elms are disease
resistant). The Elms dominate along the entrance drive off Summit Drive and
in the mall area, also along the northerly entrance drive off Earle Brown
Drive. A walkway in the main parking lot will be treated with Patmore Ash
approximately every 20 1 . Pin Oaks are the primary tree used in the boulevard
and greenstrip area along Earle Brown Drive. There will be a meandering
sidewalk installed in the Earle Brown Drive right -of -way. A small orchard of 18
Snowdrift Crabapple trees is proposed west of the 'D' barn and north of the
bunkhouse.
Shrubs are used primarily as foundation plantings and most are located around
the residential buildings to be used as a bed and breakfast complex. Shrubs
include 25 Minnesota Snowflake Mockorange, 31 Arnold's Red Honeysuckle, 63
Vanhoutte Spirea, 21 American Highbush Cranberry, 99 Winged Enonymus, 46
Japanese Bayberry, 22 Dwarf Amur Maple, and lesser numbers of other shrubs.
The size of the shrubs is generally large -from 24 to 36 in diameter. There
will also be beds of perennial flowers around the residential complex. The
plan calls for annual flowers around the pool within the mall. Ornamental
grasses are also scheduled in various locations, primarily at the corners of
the barns.
Grading /Drainage /Utilities
The entire site drains via a network of catch basins and storm sewer into the
detention pond on Ryan Constructions property to the west. Although the
western portion of the site, drainage will be conveyed westward to the Ryan
detention pond. (The lowest area of the site is actually the southerly portion
of the cental mall). The utility plan calls for all buildings except the
11/10/88 -2-
Application No. 88020 continued
blacksmith shop to be connected to city water and sanitary sewer. The
blacksmith shop may be physically connected to the 'H' barn which will have
water.and sewer service, otherwise it will have to have utility connections.
The site will be served by an 8" water line connected to a city main in Earle
Brown Drive and to the water main serving the Earle Brown Commons residential
development to the south. Buildings will be served by a single connection
rather than having separate fire lines. The site will be served by seven fire
hydrants, three located in the central mall and three around the perimeter of
the buildings. One hydrant is actually located on the Earle Brown Commons
property near the southwest corner of the site.
Buildings
The plans call for a substantial addition to the hippodrome building. The
addition would be for a lobby, restrooms, and a receiving area. The exterior
of the addition will be primarily glass and steel to differentiate it from the
original hippodrome and allow the original building to be seen through it. The
addition will have a flat roof at the top of the wall line of the hippodrome.
A lower level will also be constructed with a large kitchen, restrooms, meeting
rooms, storage, and mechanical rooms. An enclosed walkway will be provided
along the east side of the addition. The exterior of the other buildings will
remain basically as is, though the residences will be spread out somewhat from
their present configuration.
The stable will have a restaurant (130 seats) in the larger central area, a bar
and lounge in the southerly portion of the building and a kitchen and
conference room in the northerly section of the building. The second floor of
the stable will be primarily office and mechanical rooms. The central area
will be open to the restaurant below. There are to be four barns (the 'H'
barn, blacksmith shop, 'G' barn, and 'D' barn) along the north side of the mall.
All are to be restored and re -used as offices. All will have second floor
levels within and loft space along the sides.
The residential complex will include four (4) residences (The Earle Brown
House, Foreman's House, Carriage House, and Farmhouse) all connected by an
underground and first level corridor. A gazebo is to be located between the
Carriage House and the Farm House on the west side of the connecting corridor. A
commerical kitchen will be located in the Earle Brown House to serve the 11 room bed
and breakfast complex. There is no planned use of the bunkhouse (north of the bed
and breakfast complex) as yet. The pumphouse is also to be restored. The entry
gate at the south end of the mall will also be restored. All buildings within the
total complex are to be equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system.
Lighting /Trash
The site lighting plan calls for ten 20' high light poles with 250 watt high pressure
sodium lamps spaced about 95' apart in the greenstrip adjacent to Earle Brown Drive.
The plan also calls for 110 watt high pressure sodium lamps on 42 high bollards
approximately every 20' in the walkway in the main, north parking lot. Shorter
bollards are to be used in the main walkway in the mall area and around the reflecting
pool in the mall. Ten foot high poles with 100 watt HPS lamps are proposed at the
westerly entrance to the restaurant (stable) and at the entrance to the Earle Brown
House.
11_ - 10 - 88 -3-
Application No. 88020 continued
Trash containers have not been indicated on the plans. Trash for the hippodrome
will likely be stored in the receiving area at the southeast corner of the building.
Miscellaneous
A wood fence to match the existing fence will be placed around the perimeter of
the site with ates at the two o entrances off Earle Brown Drive , opposite osite the
stable. Also, a fire lane is to be created in the mall area connecting the
circular drive in front of the bed and breakfast complex to the opening between
the 'H' barn and the stable. A class 5 base will be laid beneath the topsoil
to provide support for fire trucks. The circular drive will have a
surmountable curb to allow fire trucks to move onto the fire lane if necessary.
Special Use Standards
Restaurants, transient lodging, and office space have been acknowledged
previously in the I -1 zoning district, These uses seem especially compatible
in the office dominated portion of the district south of the freeway. It
should be noted that the Planning Commission and City Council have discussed
desirable uses in the I -1 zone and have indicated a preference in tightening up
the zone somewhat by eliminating some of the C2 special uses and rezoning the
land on which these uses are situated to C2. This would exclude transient
lodging g g from the I -1 zone. When this change is made, we will be recommending a
rezoning of this site and perhaps others south of the freeway to C2.
The use that has not yet been acknowledged in the I -1 zone (or any other zone
for that matter) is the exhibit /banquet hall. This is the most intense use of
all those comtemplated for the Farm and will generate the most traffic and
parking. However, its most intense time period will be in the evening and on
weekends when the neighboring office uses will be generating little if any
traffic. This off -peak traffic pattern makes the exhibit and banquet hall
compatible and complementary with surrounding, existing land uses. In 1985,
the Earle Brown Farm site was allocated 229 trips during the 5:00 -6:00 p.m.
peak hour period in the Short - Elliot- Hendrickson traffic study. The proposed
array of uses for the Farm should generate 156 trips during the 5:00 -6:00 p.m.
peak hour and 226 trips in the 7:00 -8:00 p.m. peak hour. This scenario
includes the exhibit hall, not the banquet hall. Using the hippodrome for a
banquet hall will result in more evening (7:00 -8:00 p.m.) peak hour trips.
Again, however, this should not overtax the local street system since the
office buildings, by this time, will be mostly vacant. We, therefore, conclude
that the traffic impact of the proposed array of special uses is within an
acceptable range. We recommend approval of the requested special use permit.
Conditions of approval should include at least the following:
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 by the contractor prior to the issuance of permits.

Application No. 88020 continued
4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical
equipment shall be appropriately screened from view.
5. The buildings are 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 exlusive 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 with the exception of the circular drive -up to the
bed and breakfast which may have surmountable curb.
9. The contractor 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.
11. The storm drainage system shall be approved by the Shingle Creek
Watershed Management Commission prior to the issuance of
permits.

restaurant and exhibit /banquet hall uses. No other uses are
comprehended.
13. The special use permit is subject to all applicable codes,
ordinances and regulations and any violation thereof shall be
grounds for revocation.
14. The applicant shall enter into a restrictive covenant on the land
requiring the construction of a parking ramp to bring total
parking available on the site to as much as 804 parking spaces
upon a determination by the City that a need exists for additional
parking on the site.
15. Plan approval acknowledges approval of Application No. 88022, an

Applicant: Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority
Location: 6160 Summit Drive
Request: Special Use Permit
The applicant requests special use permit approval for off -site accessory parking
on the site of Brookdale Corporate Center III, 6160 Summit Drive. The uses of the
the off -site parking is to be the Earle Brown Farm. The site in question is zoned I-
1 and is bounded on the north by vacant I -1 zoned land, on the east by the Earle Brown
Farm and the Earle Brown Commons residential development, on the south by Summit
Drive, and on the west by Earle Brown Drive (west leg) . Off -site accessory parking
is a special use in the I -1 zoning district. The off -site accessory parking rights
are not localized to particular area on the site, but are incorporated in a
development agreement between the City of Brooklyn Center and Ryan Construction Co.
The agreement grants the City rights to 41 parking spaces on the Brookdale Corporate
Center III site without regard to location. However, there is a 41 stall lot within
the Ryan property that has access only from the Farm site.
The proposed off -site parking meets the requirements of section 35 -701.3
(attached). It is in the same zoning district; the parking is within 800' of the
Farm site; there are more than 20 off -site spaces; the parking is not across a major
thoroughfare; the parking is legally encumbered to the use of the Farm site. The 41
off -site stalls, added to the 286 on -site stalls, brings the total parking available
to the 327 stalls. This is enough to meet the required parking for the Farm complex
(322 spaces) if the hippodrome is used as an exhibit hall. Banquet parking will
likely require either a ramp or agreements with owners of surrounding property to
use office parking lots in the evening hours.
In lieu of the fact that a form of legal encumberance already exists to reserve the 41
spaces to use by the Earle Brown Farm site, approval is recommended without
conditions.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 88022
Applicant: Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority
Location: 6105 Earle Brown Drive, etc.
Request: Variance
The applicant requests approval of an interim variance to allow a 5' greenstrip
adjacent to the Earle Brown Drive right -of -way rather than the 15' required by
section 35 -700 of the Zoning Ordinance. Since the right -of -way of Earle Brown
Drive will be narrowed by 10' on either side when it is partially vacated, the
resulting greenstrip will be 15' ultimately. The same interim variance procedure
was followed when the Earle Brown Commons was proposed in 1986. There is also an old
cul -de -sac right -or -way which actually extends within the proposed parking lot.
Although the cul -de -sac is no longer there, the right -of -way has yet to be vacated.
The vacation will be accomplished with the filing of the Brooklyn Farm plat which has
been held up while the City has been trying to acquire the underlying rights to Tract
H, R.L.S. #1380 - the Earle Brown Drive right -of -way.
We recommend the approval of the interim variance, subject to the following
condition:
1. The City will continue to use all means necessary to acquire the underlying
rights to Tract H, R.L.S. #1380 in order to accomplish a partial vacation of
the Earle Brown Drive right -of -way from 80' to 60 1 .

No comments to supplement this report C below /attached
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached
Attached is a memorandum from the Health Department concerning the private kennel at 5729 Bryant
Avenue North. According to city ordinance (section 1 -108) a private kennel license may be obtained
for the purpose of providing a period of time, not to exceed three years, in which to find a place
where the dog or dogs can be legally, safely, and humanely harbored. This renewal will be the final
renewal period allowed under city ordinances.
Listing of Past Actions by the Council
The initial kennel license was approved on April 11, 1986, for a one year period. The City Council
then reviewed and approved renewal of the license on May 4, 1987 for the period May 4, 1987,
through November 11, 1988. The City Council noted as a condition Mr. Zimmer would be required to
install a concrete pad in the kennel area if he wished to renew the license in 1988. It should be
noted Mr. Zimmer has installed this concrete pad.
Staff Recommendation
The Health Department is recommending approval of this kennel license. The license, if approved
would expire on September 30, 1989. Mr. Zimmer would then be required to remove one of the
excess dogs from his property.
Specific Action Required by the Council
Approval of the private kennel license for Mr. James Zimmer, 5729 Bryant Avenue North. Also, staff
should be directed to send a letter to Mr. Zimmer notifying him of the Council's action and the fact
that this is the final license period.

RE: Kennel Inspection, 5729 Bryant Avenue No.
DATE: November 10, 1988
During the kennel inspection at 5729 Bryant Avenue
North, home of James Zimmer, both the dog run and basement
area where the dogs are kept were in satisfactory condition.
Mr. Zimmer still has three (3) dogs, a male German Wire
Haired, a neutered male Walker Hound, and a neutered male
Brittany Spaniel. I reminded him this is the third and
final year under Brooklyn Center Code he is allowed to keep
more than two (2) animals on the premises.
All three animals are kept out of doors during the day.
The animals are brought in each night and kept in the
basement.
Mr. Zimmer has installed a concrete pad in the dog run
and has a dog house to provide protection for the animals
from the elements.
Rabies vaccinations and dog licenses are current for
all three dogs.
There have been no police reports or complaints
concerning animals at this address.
At this time, there seems to be no reason why the
kennel should not be licensed for an additional year.

Planning and Inspection and the City Council may direct the applicant to appear
to show cause why the license should not be revoked. A license may be revoked
for violation of this ordinance, Chapter 19 of the Brooklyn Center Ordinances,
or any condition imposed at the time of issuance.
Section 1 -106. STANDARDS FOR PRIVATE KENNELS. A private kennel shall
consist of an enclosed space in which all animals are confined when not under
restraint and constructed so as to prevent the animals from running at large.
Provision must be made to provide shelter during inclement weather. Every
private kennel shall be kept in good repair and shall be maintained in a clean
and sanitary condition. It shall be unlawful to maintain a private kennel in a
way which constitutes a violation of this ordinance, a nuisance under Chapter 19
of the City Ordinances, or in violation of any condition imposed by the City
Council at the time the license is granted.
Section 1 -107. STANDARD FOR COMMERCIAL KENNELS. All commercial kennels

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached no
The Brooklyn Center Lions Club has filed an application for a charitable
gambling license to operate a pull -tab booth at the Days Inn located in
Brooklyn Center. Under City ordinance, the Lions is allowed one more
location to operate a gambling license. Normally, the City has sixty (60)
days to object to the issuance of a gambling license by sending a
resolution to the State Charitable Gambling Board. The Lions are also
asking for a waiver of this waiting period which would allow them to
begin operation after approval by the State Board. The State has
informed the Lions that if they receive a waiver of the waiting period
from the City, they could act on the application at their December 19th
meeting, which would allow the Lions to begin operating by the lst of
January, 1989.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council pass a motion stating that they do not object to
the issuance of a pull -tab charitable gambling license for the Lions
Club at the Days Inn and authorizing the waiver of the sixty day
waiting period.
