Finance stated that it is difficult to know who will have a problem obtaining
insurance. Councilmember Theis asked what the consequences would be if the City
does not get this insurance, and the Director of Finance noted that the City would
find out the costs with the first court case that will come along. The City Manager
pointed out that the City's insurance has been very valuable in a recent homicide
case in which the City reportedly sold a bottle of liquor to the defendant in the
case. Mayor Nyquist asked at what point the City will withdraw from the liquor
business, and the Director of Finance said probably when the costs are greater than
the income received. Councilmember Theis asked what percentage of the liquor
stores gross sales is for the cost of insurance, and the Director of Finance said
that one dollar per one hundred dollars of receipts goes towards the insurance.

DISCUSSION ITEM
SKATING RINKS AT RIVERDALE PARK AND LIONS PARK
The City Manager introduced a recommendation from the Park & Recreation Commission
to the City Council to open the skating rinks at Riverdale Park and Lions Park on
weekends and school holidays for the 1985 -86 winter. The Chairman of the Park &
Recreation Commission, Mr. Bud Sorenson, reiterated the recommendation originating
from the Park & Recreation Commission. The City Manager reviewed the costs
calculated by the City, and noted that a petition had been received from the
Riverdale Park area residents. He stated the argument from the residents is that
there have been changes in the neighborhood, and a skating rink would be used by the
many children living in the neighborhood. He added that the Riverdale Park area is
separated from the western side of T.H. 252, and the crossing accesses on T.H. 252
are not very good. Councilmember Theis asked how long the skating rinks at
Riverdale and Lions Parks have been closed, and the City Manager stated they have
been closed since 1982. Councilmember Theis asked if there is any way to monitor
activity at the skating rinks, and the City Manager noted that a count is taken by the
warming house attendant at each rink. Councilmember Theis asked what the average
age of the children using the skating rinks is, and the Director of Recreation stated
it depends on the neighborhood.
The City Manager noted that during the winter of 1984 -85, the Lions Park skating rink
was opened, but the warming house was not. He noted the largest cost related to
operating a skating rink is opening the warming house. Councilmember Theis asked
if warming houses are available at the Riverdale and Lions Park location, and the
City Manager responded affirmatively. He added that satellites rather than indoor
plumbing would be utilized in order to decrease the chances for vandalism. In
reviewing a usage sheet for the skating rinks, Mayor Nyquist asked how the City
accounts for the high usage in 1977 -78. The City Manager noted that the statistics
are weather sensitive.
Councilmember Lhotka asked why the Lions Park request is included in the
recommendation, and the Director of Recreation stated that Lions Park area
residents were the first to request reopening of their neighborhood skating rink.
Councilmember Lhotka asked where financing of these activities would come from, and
the City Manager stated they would be paid for by contingency funds. Councilmember
Hawes said that area residents have shown a desire to have the skating rinks
reopened, and feels the City should open the skating rinks on a limited basis and
monitor their usage.
12 -9 -85 -14-
There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to
reopen the skating rinks and warming houses at Riverdale and Lions Parks on weekends
and holidays only for the 1985 -86 winter, with review of their usage prior to
approval for the funding of the 1986 -87 winter.
Mayor Nyquist recognized a resident from the Riverdale Park area who noted that the
Lions Park residents are encountering the same problem as the Riverdale Park area
residents, in that they are secluded from other park areas. He noted that it is
suicide to have the children cross T.H. 252, and requested the City to approve
funding on a limited basis for a one -year period with review of the activity prior to
granting approval for next year.
Upon vote being taken on the foregoing motion, the following members voted in favor:
Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka, Hawes, and Theis. Voting against: none.
The motion passed.
RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED)

Agreement. The Housing Coordinator cited the items related to the Ryan

Survey. The Housing Coordinator proceeded to review the Developers Agreement.
Councilmember Lhotka expressed concern over the relationship between the amount of
traffic generation and the size of the proposed second office building. Staff and
the Council discussed the effect of the traffic analysis on the size of the building.
Councilmember Theis questioned the use of parking ramps and parking requirements,
and the Housing Coordinator and City Manager reviewed the parking situation.
Councilmember Hawes questioned the curbing requirements, and the Director of
Planning & Inspection noted that the curbing for this proposal will be handled much
dike that of the first two corporate centers.
Councilmember Lhotka asked who is included in the Brookdale III Limited
Partnership, and Mr. Jim Ryan stated the -limited partnership includes Ryan
Construction Company, Northwestern National Life, Ron Fletcher and Blair Wolfson.
Councilmember Theis asked if the City Attorney had reviewed the Developers
Agreement, and Mr. Bill Jordan of the City Attorney's office stated he feels the
agreement provides adequate protection to the City. Councilmember Lhotka asked
what the difference is in the agreement from the City's current sign ordinance, and
the Housing Coordinator stated there is no difference since minimum requirements of
the sign ordinance will be met. Councilmember Lhotka inquired about the boulevard
plan, and the Housing Coordinator stated this will be adopted with the tax increment
plan.
Councilmember Lhotka asked why the items related to the Development Project must be
passed this evening, and the Housing Coordinator stated that because of the bond
issue, final approval is needed prior to close of 1985 • Councilmember Lhotka
stated he is not ready to act this evening, as he does not adequately understand all
items requiring approval. Councilmember Theis asked what effect a one -week delay
would have on the project, and Mr. Ryan noted that the deadline for selling the bonds
is December 31, 1985. He added that the later the bonds are sold, the higher the
interest rate will be.
Mr. Jordan proceeded to review the Developers Agreement section by section and, as
12 -9 -85 -15-
necessary, answered questions from the Council regarding each section.
Councilmember Lhotka asked if a simple majority vote of those present at this
evening's meeting is necessary for passage of the resolution, and the City Attorney
stated that the resolution requires three affirmative votes for passage.
Councilmember Lhotka stated it is his opinion that the City is giving up an awful lot`
compared to what it is receiving in return.
There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to
table the items related to the Ryan Construction Company until Wednesday, December
11, 1985 at 7:00 p.m. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Brad Hoffman, Administrative Assistant
DATE: December 17, 1985
SUBJECT: Back -up Copier
In the 85' budget, $35,000 was allocated for a copier. The City received bids
ranging from $25,000 to $50,000. We accepted the bid from IBM in the amount
of $25,000.
Our current back -up copier to the IBM is an old (refurbished) 3M VQC II wet
copier given to the City by 3M. Originally, 3M maintained the machine but
several years ago maintenance was taken over by another company. The City now
pays for repair on the machine and we are experiencing more downtime with it.
More importantly, the 3M copier is not an adequate back -up machine for the
IBM. With any copier there is downtime as well as peak use times. The
current back -up is not fast enough, and the quality of a wet copy leaves
something to be desired.
I have been looking at small copiers that would adequately serve our needs as
a back -up or second copier. I also looked for certain reduction and enlargement
capabilities that would supplement our current IBM that has only two (2) modes
of reduction. All of the models have reduction and enlargement capabilities
in l percent increments from 64 percent reduction to 141 percent enlargement.
Having looked at a large number of copiers over the past year, I am confident
that any of the copiers quoted will adequately serve our needs. I would
anticipate that we would have a life expectancy of seven years for this
machine. I have received the following quotes:
Cannon 7550 $10,468
Royal 5003 ZMR $10,600
Sharp SF -9500 $ 7,775
AB Dick 999 $ 8,766
Xerox 1055 $14,045
Royal 5003 ZMR $ 9,995
In my opinion, these are all comparable copiers and all are capable of
providing the necessary maintenance. If the cost of the maintenance contract
is added in over the anticipated life of seven years, Sharp remains low.
I am therefore recommending the purchase of the Sharp SF -9500 from Quality
Office Products.

M & C NO. 85 -16
December 27, 1985
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Establishment of the Position of Public Works Superintendent
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
Over the last few years we have been moving toward a unitized public works
I supervisory system. Three years ago we moved the Utilities operation into the same
building with the Streets and Parks Division. We are now proposing to unitize
supervision. We are proposing to do that with the creation of the position of
Public Works Superintendent and the elimination of the position of Streets and Parks
Superintendent. The current Streets and Parks Superintendent has had experience'
in supervising Water and Sewer Utilities in previous positions and is in a unique
position to offer us this capability.
We are recommending this course of action for the following reasons:
1. There will be better coordination and common use of equipment. The
Streets, Parks, and Utility Division operation requires very expensive
equipment and by unitizing the supervision of this equipment, we can
realize consistent long range and short range savings.
2. By creating a common supervision of personnel we will achieve a better use
of manpower and improve our cross training in the various areas of work so
that in emergencies personnel from each department can help the other more
effectively.
3• By placing all three supervisors (Streets, Parks, and Utilities) under one
common superintendent it will allow for greater depth in supervision so
that if there are sicknesses, vacations or temporary disabilities, there
are more trained personnel available to cover the situation.
4. It would place all the personnel in the Public Works garage facility under
one supervisor, which will facilitate coordination of the use of that
facility.
We are proposing, due to the increase in responsibility of the Public Works
Superintendent's position, that the new range for this position be from a minimum of
S28A to a maximum of S35C. This represents a three step increase in the maximum
.salary when compared to the Streets and Parks Superintendent's maximum(S32C). The
annual increase in cost for this change will be $3,000. For the first year of
operation we are proposing that at least $3,000 of the Superintendent's salary be
paid for by the Public Utility. After the first year of operation the department
will do an analysis of the time spent by the Superintendent on utility matters and
then his salary will be divided properly between the various functions -- Streets,
Parks, and Utilities.
Respectfully submitted,
Gerald G. Spli er

George Lucht at 7:33 p.m.

Chairman George Lucht, Commissioners Molly Malecki, Lowell Ainas, Carl Sandstrom,
Mike Nelson, Wallace Bernards and Ann Wallerstedt. Also present were Director of -
Planning and Inspection Ronald Warren, City Engineer Bo Spurrier and Planner Gary
Shallcross.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - November 21, 1985
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Sandstrom to approve the
minutes of the November 21, 1985 Planning Commission meeting as submitted. Voting
in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Sandstrom, Nelson, Bernards and
Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. Not voting: Commissioner Ainas. The
motion passed.
APPLICATION NOS. 85038 AND 85039 (Robert Schell)_
Following the Chairman's explanation, the Secretary introduced the first item of
business, a request for site and building plan approval to expand the dental clinic
at 412 66th Avenue North. The Secretary also introduced a variance application to
allow expansion of a nonconforming building within required setback area. The
Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff reports (see Planning Commission
Information Sheets for Application Nos. 85038 and 85039)• The Secretary also noted
one possible location of a future Highway 252 right -of -way line along the east side
of the property in question. The Secretary stated that there are other parcels
along Highway 252 in a similar circumstance. He stated that in this case the
nonconformity of the existing building and the addition was too great to allow an
expansion. He added that a relocation of the building could possibly be
accomplished on the property. He concluded by saying the property had suffered
damages as a result of the highway taking of the neighboring property which made the
applicant's building nonconforming as to setback and that there was a need for
further negotiation between Dr. Schell and MN /DOT to reduce the right -of -way taking
to the minimum necessary and thereby reduce the nonconformity as much as possible.
Commissioner Nelson asked what the setback would be if this possible right -of -way
line were, in fact, established by MN /DOT. The Secretary stated that it is
conceivable that the right -of -way line could be 50' away from the proposed addition
and that the addition could, therefore, be allowed. He pointed out that conforming
additions to nonconforming buildings had been allowed in the past, as in the case of
Lynbrook Bowl. Commissioner Nelson asked when the applicant would know what the
Highway Department's right -of -way line would ultimately be. The Secretary stated
that that would require further negotiation.
Chairman Lucht asked the applicant whether he had anything to add. Dr. Robert
Schell, owner of the clinic, stated that he somewhat he agreed with the staff report.
12 -17 -85 -1-
i
He stated that he basically wanted to know where he stood relative to the City so that
he can take that position back to the State. He stated that he did want to add on to
his building because of additional business that he had contracted with the Share
Medical Plan. He showed the Commission a layout of the intersection of the proposed
Highway 252 and 66th Avenue North and stated that it was the most recmt plan
developed by the Highway Department. He pointed out that the Superamerica station
across 66th will be closer to Highway 252 than the clinic. He also pointed out that
the State would be taking 20' from the front of his property along 66th Avenue North.
Dr. Schell explained that the State would not be using the west side of the service
station property to the east and that a row of trees would continue to exist in this
location. He also added that the rooms in the proposed addition would not be for
treatment.
Chairman Lucht asked Dr. Schell whether he had talked to the State rewding
acquisition of the underlying rights to the neighboring property. Dr. Schell
g g g p P Y
responded in the affirmative. Commissioner Sandstrom stated d that the State- could
give Dr. Schell an option to buy the remnant parcel of land. Dr. Schell agreed.
However, he stated that his present problem is that the State owns the land and it is,
therefore, considered right -of -way. He also pointed out that he did not need the
property and that he had no use for it. Chairman Lucht pointed out that the property
by itself would not be buildable. Dr. Schell stated that he did not want to relocate
his building because of an artificial right -of -way line. He stated that it would be
an expense for the general public to relocate the clinic." He stated that he did not
expect action on the application at this meeting, but wanted to let the Commission
know his situation. Chairman Lucht stated that the Planning Commission had to be
careful about granting variances since it would set a precedent for other cases.
There followed a general discussion of the situation. The Secretary again stated
that the highway taking creates damages for the applicant. He stated that 30 years
ago the Highway Department would not be required to compensate for such damages as 0
creating a nonconforming status for a particular building. He pointed out,
however, that MN /DOT's rules have changed and that it must now pay for such damages
when they are clearly documented.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application No. 85039)
Chairman Lucht then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked whether anyone
present wished to speak regarding the application. Hearing none, he called for a
motion to close the public hearing.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Ainas seconded by Commissioner Nelson to close the public
hearing. The motion passed unanimously.
There followed a discussion as to the proper procedure to follow. The Secretary
stated that the Planning Commission could table both applications and express the
opinion that the application, in its present form, would be recommended for denial.
This, then, could be conveyed to the State, he said, and they would have to respond.
Chairman Lucht wondered whether tabling would be a strong enough message.
Commissioner Wallerstedt noted that this situation had been compared to the case of
the Evergreen Park Apartments. She asked whether this was the same situation and
whether tabling was employed at that time. The Secretary stated that in that
situation the applicant had insisted on an action by the Planning Commission. He
stated, however, that MN /DOT will not revise their position until it is shown that
damages are clearly documented.'

ACTION TABLING APPLICATION NO. 85039 (Robert Schell)
Motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Nelson to table
Application No. 85039 with direction to the applicant that the application in its
present form would be recommended for denial and that further negotiation should be
pursued with MN /DOT. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki,
Sandstrom, Ainas, Nelson and Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion
passed.
ACTION TABLING APPLICATION NO. 85038 (Robert Schell)
Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Sandstrom to table
Application No. 85038 on the grounds that Application No. 85039 is not yet resolved.
Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Sandstrom, Nelson,
Bernards and Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
APPLICATION NO. 85040 (Brian Zubert)
The Secretary then introduced the next item of business, a request for site and
building plan and special use permit approval to construct a 152 room all suite hotel
on the vacant parcel of land immediately east of Earle Brown Bowl, south of Freeway
Boulevard. The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning
Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 85040 attached). The Secretary
added that staff had put templets on the site plan and concluded that semi trailers
would have a very difficult time gaining access to this site and, therefore, no
trailer parking was required.
The City Engineer commented as to available sewer capacity. He noted that his memo,
dated December 16, 1985 contains two estimates of the projected flow of the hotel.
He stated that these estimates vary, depending on the method of calculation. He
stated that he felt the truth lay somewhere in between these two estimates and that
it should live within the maximum established by the City of 185 gallons per minute
coming off the office park and hotel development. The City Engineer also pointed
out that the sewer connection would have to be to the sanitary sewer lines within the
private road rather than Freeway Boulevard and that this would allow the City to
control the flow to the City main.
The Secretary added that liquor cannot be given away under the City's liquor
ordinance and that the establishment does not qualify for a liquor license either.
He noted that the applicant had expressed plans to giveaway drinks to hotel patrons.
The Secretary concluded by stating that the City had received a letter expressing
support for the proposed hotel from Roberts Properties which owns some industrial
buildings in the industrial park nearby. I
Chairman Lucht asked the applicant whether he had anything to add. Mr. Bob Fields,
representing the applicant, stated that he would answer any questions of the
Commission. Chairman Lucht asked whether there were any other Comfort Inns in the
general area. Mr. Fields stated that Comfort Inns was a subsidiary of Quality Inns
and that there are others along the I -94 freeway in North Dakota. _Mr. Charlie
Radloff, the architect for the project, stated that he had no objection to the
conditions of approval listed in the report.
In response to a question from the Secretary, Mr. Fields stated that liquor would not
be a part of the operation in Brooklyn Center. He stated that Comfort Inn wants to
beef up other amenities offered in the hotel and perhaps pursue the possibility of
limited liquor service in the future.
12 -17 -85 -3-
Commissioner Malecki asked what food would be served at the hotel. Mr. Fields stated
that the continental breakfast would be available for patrons only. Commissioner
Wallerstedt asked whether the applicant had done a market analysis to determine
whether a hotel of this type would be successful in an area that has other hotels in
it already. Mr. Fields answered that a market analysis has been done and that the
conclusion was that a Comfort Inn would meet a strata of the market not presently
provided for in this location. He stated that this was the upper budget "lower
upper class" segment of the market.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application No. 85040)
Chairman Lucht then opened the meeting for a public hearing and noted that there was
no one present to speak regarding the application. He called for a motion to close
the public hearing.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Malecki to close the public
hearing. The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Wallerstedt asked how the staff had arrived at the conclusion that no
traffic problem would result from the development of the hotel. The Secretary
explained that this conclusion was based on the Short- Elliot - Hendrickson traffic
study done earlier in 1985. He acknowledged that there would be more traffic
generated by the development, but that it would not cause a serious deterioration in
the level of service at nearby intersections. He stated that most of the 'traffic
problems would be handled 'on -site and on the private access road. Commissioner
Sandstrom added that he did not think there would be concentrated, peaks with the
hotel traffic as there is with office traffic which tends to come and go at narrow
times of the day.
ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 85040 (Brian Zubert)
Motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Nelson to recommend
approval of Application No. 85040, subject to the following conditions:

DISCUSSION ITEM (Sign Ordinance Amendments)
The Secretary briefly referred to a memo that he had written on two suggested
amendments to the Sign Ordinance regarding rummage sale signs and wall signs on
enclosed shopping centers. He asked whether there were any questions.
Commissioner Sandstrom asked whether real estate signs would be changed at all.
The Secretary stated that real estate signs would not be affected by the proposed
amendment, but that other modifications to the Sign Ordinance should be considered
in the coming year. The Secretary went on to explain restrictions that will still
apply to rummage sale signs although there would be a liberalization for such signs
under the proposed amendment that was requested by the City Council.
ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF SIGN ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Malecki to recommend
approval of two sign ordinance amendments relating to rummage sale signs and wall

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 85038
Applicant: Robert E. Schell
Location: 412 66th Avenue North
Request: Site and Building Plan
The applicant requests site and building plan approval to construct an approximate
20' x 26' addition to the north end of the dental clinic at 412 66th Avenue North.
The property in question is zoned C2 and is bounded on the east by newly established
Highway 252 right -of -way (formerly the location of Ralph's Sinclair station); on
the south by 66th Avenue North (to be widened); and on the west and north by vacant
C2 zoned land. Dental clinics are classified as a permitted use in the C2 zoning
district.
The proposed addition would be to the rear (north side) of the building. Access
would continue to be off 66th Avenue North (no access off Highway 252). No addi-
tional parking is proposed, inasmuchas there are currently 23 parking spaces on the
site and only 19 are required for the building with the addition at a rate of one
space per 150 sq. ft. of gross floor area (the proposal calls for 2,761 sq. ft. of
building area, total).
The plans call for some additional landscaping in the area just west and north of
the proposed addition. New plantings would include: one Manay Juniper, 10 Alpine
Currents, one Norway Maple, two Isanti Dogwoods, and four Red Vanicek Weigela. No
changes are proposed in paved areas of the site. Exterior treatment of the addi-
tion would be cedar siding to match the existing building.
The biggest change to the site actually comes from outside it namely the acquisition
of land for highway right -of -way to the east and south. The east property line of
the clinic site has become the westerly right -of -way line of State Highway 252.
The required setback from such a major thoroughfare is 50'. The existing setback
is 10' and the proposed addition would continue along that setback line. The
entire clinic structure has become nonconforming as to setback because of the right-
of-way taking and the proposed addition would expand that nonconforming situation.
The applicant has, accordingly, applied for a variance from the Zoning Ordinance
to allow this expansion. (See Application No. 85039.) Since staff recommended
denial of that variance application, we cannot recommend approval of the site and
building plan application at this time. Earl Howe of MNDOT has sent the City a
letter informing us that some excess right -of -way will be available for reconveyance
after construction of the highway. The addition, therefore, may ultimately become
conforming. However, Mr. Howe has stated that the precise amount of land to become
available is not known at this time. Until a definite commitment is made on the
land to be made available, staff believe it would be very unwise to act favorably
on the proposed expansion. We would recommend discussion with the applicant on the
possibility of an agreed upon, indefinite tabling until a commitment is made by
MNDOT on available excess right -of -way.
12 -17 -85
Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 85039
Applicant: Robert E. Schell
Location: 412 66th Avenue North
Request: Variance
The applicant requests approval of a variance from Section 35 -400 and indirectly
from Section 35 -111 of the Zoning Ordinance in order to add onto the dental clinic
at 412 66th Avenue North. The property in question is zoned C2 and is the subject
of Application No. 85038. The existing building now lies entirely within the set -
back area off the newly established westerly right -of -way lines of State Highway
252. The proposed addition to the north side of the building would also lie with-
in this setback area. The north right -of -way line of 66th Avenue North will also
be shifted northward approximately 20' making the front yard setback substandard.
The new addition would, therefore, be nonconforming as to setback and would con-
stitute an expansion of a building that is entirely nonconforming as to setback.
The applicant has submitted a letter in which he explains the need for the addition
to the building and the circumstances surrounding the taking of his and adjacent
land for highway purposes. Mr. Schell states that 66th Avenue North will be
"eight feet nearer the front (south) entrance to the clinic." The new highway, he
states will be no nearer to the side of the clinic than the as station formerly
g el
was. He states there will still be a "thicket of woods" and "a wide green space
to the east before one reaches the highway. He states that this represents excess
land for right -of -way purchased by the State. Mr. Schell also notes that the land
to the north and (west) is vacant, largely wooded, and zoned commercial. He notes
that the nearest residence is more than a block away and there is a Superamerica
and a Pet Hospital south of 66th Avenue North. He states that no surrounding
. properties would be adversely affected by the proposed addition..
Mr. Schell concludes his letter by pointing out that the nonconforming setback
results through no fault of his own and contending that the right -of -way alignment
and setback requirement create eate a unique problem for the clinic. He thus us concludes
his case that the Standards for a Variance are met.
The Standards for a Variance are set forth in Section 35 -240 (attached for review).
With respect to setback - requi - rements of Section 35 - -400, i t may be that the ordi-
nance standards are met. The applicant does appear to suffer a hardship in that
an expansion that would otherwise be allowed within the site
s rohibi
p ted in this
case because of changing relative location. The entire existing building is made
nonconforming by the moving of the highway right -of -way line which now places the
entire building within required setback area. The circumstances are fairly unique.
Roadway widening or realignment does not affect many parcels in the C2 zoning
district. The hardship certainly has not been created by the applicant, but by
the highway taking. Adverse impact on other property or improvements in the neigh-
borhood may be difficult to judge at this t'
J 9 time. The building addition itself would
seem to
cause no harm to anyone on adjacent property. The issue raised by the
City's ordinance requirements is whether a building set back 10' from the right-of-
way line of a major highway is safe and healthy for those who frequent the building
itself and the
general public who travel that intersection.. Our judgment is that
the situation for the clinic is made bad by the highway taking to the east and
south and that the proposed addition will only compound the damages to the general
public welfare.
12 -17 -85 -1-
t`
Application No. 85039 continued
The real basis on which this application must be judged is the provisions of Section
35 -111 (attached) pertaining to the legal status of nonconforming uses. The clinic
is considered a nonconforming structure because it doesnot conform to ordinance
setback requirements and it is subject to the limitations imposed on nonconforming
uses in Section 35 -111. The clinic is a nonconforming use of land in that it is a
building located where only parking and greenstrip are allowed by ordinance. Under
Section 35 -111, nonconforming uses of land may not "be enlarged or increased or
occupy a greater area of land than that occupied by such use at the time of the
adoption of thi's ordinance" (ie. at the time the use becomes legally nonconforming,
in this case when the highway department acquired the former service station to the
east for right -of -way purposes). In the past, buildings with relatively minor
setback deficiencies have been allowed to expand, provided the new expansion meets
current setback requirements In this case, the entire existing building is located
,within the required setback and no conforming expansion of the clinic structure is
physically possible. It is, therefore, staff's recommendation that the requested
variance application be denied and the applicant referred back to the MNDOT for
compensation for the full damages caused by the highway taking, including the
damage of becoming a nonconforming use of land.

`Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 85040
Applicant: Brian Zubert
Location: Freeway Boulevard east of Earle Brown Bowl
Request: Site and Building Plan /Special Use Permit
The applicant requests site and building plan and special use permit approval to con -
struct a seven storey, 152 room hotel east of Earle Brown Bowl on the south side of
Freeway Boulevard. The property in question is zoned I -1 and is bounded on the north
by Freeway Boulevard; on the east by a vacant parcel planned as an access road; on
the south by vacant land planned as the Lombard office park; and on the west by Earle
Brown Bowl. Hotels are allowed by special use permit in the I -1 zoning district.
The proposed hotel would have access off a private road to the east serving both the
hotel site and an office park development to the south. Two accesses off this road
are shown, one near the front of the hotel on the north side of the site and one at
the southeast corner of the site. A preliminary site plan shows 170 parking stalls.
The parking requirement for the hotel is one stall per unit (152) plus one per em-
ployee (15) for a total of 167 spaces. Staff recommended that the three extra stalls
be eliminated to make larger stalls for recreational vehicles, etc. No parking
spaces have been provided for semi- trailers. Three handicapped parking spaces have
been shown on the east side of parking lot. Staff recommend that four (at one per
50 spaces or fraction thereof) handicapped stalls be provided adjacent to the build -
ing as close to the west entrance as possible.
The landscape plan shows shade and coniferous trees around the perimeter of the site,
shade trees in the parking lot islands and a mixture of trees and shrubs in the green
areas around the building. No landscape schedule has yet been provided. It is pre-
sumed that some coordination will be needed between the applicant and Lombard
Properties on the landscaping of the private road greenstrip.
The grading, drainage, and utility plan shows that the site will drain primarily
toward two catch basins along the east side of the site, one located at the southeast
corner and one at the main (north) entrance to the site. Staff recommend that some
modification be made in the proposed grades to keep drainage from collecting at a
major traffic point on the site. Water and sewer connections will both be made
directly to City utilities in Freeway Blvd. The City Engineer has requested and
received information on estimated sewer flow from the site to determine peak hour
input into the City's sanitary sewer system which has a constriction in 65th Avenue
North between Humboldt Avenue North and Dupont Avenue North. The City Engineer is
making his comments in a separate memo, but is reasonably satisfied that peak sewer
flow from the hotel and office developments will fit within the City's prescribed
maximum (185 gals. /min. during peak hour) because the peaks complement each other
over the time of day.
The proposed building is to have a brick exterior with a mansard roof. The hotel is
proposed as an all -suite hotel with six different types of suites. Eight handicapped
units will be provided, all on the first floor. Stairway exiting will be provided
on the north and south end of the building and elevators off the lobby area. A hot
tub room, sauna and solarium will also be provided on the first floor. A trash
enclosure is indicated near the southeast corner of the building.
Regarding the special use permit standards from Section 35 -220 of the Zoning Ordi-
nance (attached), staff see no concern regarding standards (a) and (b). The hotel's
effect on the normal and orderly development of surrounding land is primarily guaged
by its impact on available sewer capacity serving this area. On the basis of the
12 -17 -85 -1-
` Application No. 85040 continued
sewer calculations submitted and the analysis of the City Engineer, staff feel that
this standard can also be said to be met. Traffic impact of the proposed development
does not significantly affect the peak hour traffic period (4-6 p.m.) for Freeway
Boulevard, Shingle Creek Parkway and Humboldt Avenue North. The special use stan-
dards pertaining to commercial uses in the I -1 zoning district -
9
ict in Section 35 330
would seem to be met especially in lieu of the two other hotels and the bowling
alley and restaurant approved on I -1 parcels south of Freeway Boulevard. There
may also be a concern as to the cummulative effect of all these commercial uses in
the I -1 district. Certainly this is a factor, as the need for a sewer flow /capacity
analysis shows. But, it seems appropriate to round out the area south of Freeway
Boulevard with non - industrial uses since the character of that area is already
established as commercial in nature.
In lieu of the foregoing, approval is recommended, subject to at least the follow-
ing 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 to assure completion of approved
site improvements.
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 si gnery 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 private access road for this site and the office park to the south
shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved under Appli-
cation No. 85029 and signed for no parking /fire lane prior to issuance
of a certificate of occupancy for the hotel.
10. Building plans and operation of the hotel are subject to approval by
the City Sanitarian with respect to the whi rpool s, hot tub, sauna and
lodging license.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 85041
Applicant: City of Brooklyn Center HRA
Location: Northeasterly of Summit Drive and Earle Brown Drive
Request: Preliminary R.L.S.
The Brooklyn Center Housing and Redevelopment Authority seeks approval of a prelimi-
nary Registered Land Survey which subdivides for conveyance purposes the land at the
northeast corner of Earle Brown Drive and Summit Drive. The land includes two
parcels presently owned by Ryan Construction Company along the east and south sides
of Earle Brown Drive. It also includes the Earle Brown Farm site and the site of
the old bank /office building, both presently owned by the City. The land in question
is zoned I -1 and is bounded on the west, north, and east by Earle Brown Drive, on
the southwest by Summit Drive, and on the southeast by vacant, I -1 zoned land owned
by Texas Air Corporation.
The proposed R.L.S. contains nine tracts, A through I. Tracts A and B are essent-
ially the existing Ryan property divided into south and north parcels for phased
development in the future. Tracts G and H are the westerly portion of the City's
Earle Brown Farm property to be conveyed to Ryan Construction for office development.
Tract F is the historic farm site. Tract I, south of the farm, will be joined with
the Texas Air property in the future for high -rise housing development. Tracts C,
D and E at the north end of the R.L.S. will have parking spaces constructed over
them and will be conveyed in the future subject to fulfillment of aspects of the de-
velopment contract between the City and Ryan Construction.
The areas of the proposed tracts are listed below:
Area
Tract A 1.94 acres
Tract B 3.58 acres
Tract C .24 acres
Tract D .26 acres
Tract E .37 acres
Tract F 6.78 acres
Tract G 2.01 acres
Tract H 3.86 acres
Tract I 1.84 acres
Total 20.9 acres
Two tracts, C and G_are landlocked. Tract I has only 24.64' of frontage on Summit
Drive, which is substandard in the I -1 district. These deficiencies will disappear
when all of the conveyances are complete and tracts are recombined to form new parcels
for development.
The proposed R.L.S. is generally in order and approval is recommended subject to at
least the following conditions
12 -17 -85 -1-
Application No. 85041 continued
1. The final R.L.S. is subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer.
2. The final R.L.S. is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15.
3. Approval of the proposed R.L.S. is for reconveyance purposes only.
No permits for new construction may be issued without a replatting
of landlocked parcels with other parcels or an amendment of the
development contract between the City and Ryan Construction Company.

RE: Vacating Easement in Thomas Construction Company 2nd Addition
Attached is the ordinance that would vacate part of an easement along the
boundary of Thomas Construction 2nd Addition that the relocated Evergreen
Apartment building encroaches upon. Also attached is a letter from Mr.
Kenneth Solie requesting the vacation of the easement.
The easement was originally dedicated by the plat of Thomas Construction 2nd
Addition and was part of a general dedication along all lot lines. This
line was formerly the rear lot line. The line will change with the
construction of T.H. 252 because Evergreen Apartments will be purchasing a
part of the excess trunk highway right of way. This easement will then be
detached from the actual rear lot line.
If no utilities exist in the easement there is no reason to keep the
easement.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission Members
FROM: Ronald A. Warren, Planning Commission Secretary
DATE: December 13, 1985
SUBJECT: Proposed Sign Ordinance Amendments on December 17, 1985 Agenda
Two ordinance amendments are being offered for the Planning Commission's consideration
on December 17, 1985. Both amendments primarily relate to the Sign Ordinance and
address two different issues.
The first issue relates to rummage sale signs and was i
g 9 raised on October 7, 1985 at
the Open Forum
p portion of the i
p City Council meeting.. A Ms. Carat Kleven 5835 Zenith
Avenue North, presented her concerns regarding the interpretation and enforcement
of the ordinance relating to garage sale signs. She noted that after decorating
her yard with balloons for a garage sale, she was informed that the balloons would
have to be removed because they are a prohibited form of signery. She also questioned
the interpretation of the ordinance and indicated that it is not clear regarding
the use of balloons. She added that she had no problem with other provisions of
the ordinance regarding the number and duration of sales, prohibition against posting
signs on power poles, etc., but felt the restriction against balloons and other atten-
tion attracting devices for a garage sale or other events was overboard.
The staff was directed to look into the matter to see if some modifications to the
ordinance were in order.
The ordinance amendment offered provides for loosening restrictions for on -site garage
sale signs and clarifies City policy and interpretation of balloons, streamers and
other attention attracting devices as prohibited signs.
The main thrust of the amendment would be to establish provisions in the ordinance
to acknowledge rummage sale signs as "permitted signs not requiring a permit." People
having a garage sale would be entitled to display banners, pennants, streamers, balloons
or similar attention attracting devices only on their property during the course
of the event. In addition, they would be allowed to display one on -site garage sale
sign no greater than 10 sq. ft. in area ea (currentl
q e sign is limited
Y a garage a 9
sal 9
to 2.5 sq. ft. in area). The off -site sign provisions would be basically unchanged.
These signs are allowed on other residential property with the consent of that property
owner and would also be limited to 10 sq. ft. in area (currently limited to 2.5 sq.
ft.. in area). No attention attracting devices would be allowed with the off -site
signs. All signs and attention attracting devices would have to be removed at the
end of the sale.
In all other respects garage sale signs, whether on -site or off -site, must conform
with the provisions of the Sign Ordinance. This would mean they are not, among other
things, allowed to: interfere with a traffic sign or signal; be placed in the public
right -of -way or boulevard easement area; to resemble any official marker such as
a stop sign; use a flashing sign or searchlight; be tacked or posted on trees, fences,
utility poles or other such supports.
Memo
Page 2
December 13, 1985
The second ro o ed m '
p p s amendment relates to a variance requested by Arby's which was
recommended for approval by the Commission. The City Council was not inclined to
approve the variance, but rather tabled it directing consideration of an ordinance
amendment that would address Arby's similar situations.
Y
s situation and s s
This amendment would affect only establishments located in an enclosed shopping
center mall and would allow individual and /or collective tenant identification signs
on exterior walls and also allow wall signs identifying the building or complex provided
the total signery does not exceed 10% of the area of the wall supporting the sign.
Currently, 30% is allowed for wall signs. No other _changes are proposed and the
current rovisions would affect other attached establishments in the same way as the
P e y y
do now.
We are not prepared, at this time, to make more far reachinq recommendations._ It
is important to research the effects of such an amendment on all other establishments
before contemplating such changes. We also believe it would be worthwhile for the
Commission to undertake a review of the entire Sign Ordinance within the next year.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Geralyn R. Barone, Administrative Assistant
DATE: December 24, 1985
SUBJECT: TSAC Restructuring
The Brooklyn Center Traffic Safety Advisory Committee (TSAC) was created in
the early 1980's to handle citizen traffic complaints in an effort to reduce
the number of such complaints reaching the City Council. The TSAC consists of
a nine - member advisory committee appointed by the Mayor. Members are selected
from the general citizenry and are not required to have a wvrking knowledge of
traffic issues.
Around the time that the TSAC was formed an Administrative Traffic Committee
(ATC), consisting of the City Manager, Director of Public Works, Chief of
Police, Engineering Technician, and Administrative Assistant, was developed to
deal with initial traffic complaints. Presently, the ATC meets on a regular
basis, approximately once a month, to review, discuss and resolve such com-
plaints. In the last few years, the ATC has processed an annual average of 42
complaints. In addition, the ATC reviews traffic patterns and flows in the
City, and discusses policy issues related to traffic.
Because of the ATC's efficiency in resolvin g complaints, the TSAC has not met
�
since February 9, 1984. In the months prior to that date, the TSAC mainly met
to discuss certain traffic complaints originating from TSAC members, rather
than to handle citizen traffic complaints. In the last two years, only one
issue unsatisfactorily resolved by the ATC, according to the complainant, has
reached the City Council - that of problems on Humboldt Avenue North between
69th and 73rd Avenues North.
The ATC has been able, quite successfully, to manage traffic complaints generated
by citizens and staff. It is the recomnendation of the ATC, therefore, to
abolish the TSAC and to establish a three - member Traffic Appeals Committee
appointed by the Mayor; at least two of the three members should have some
background in traffic practices. The purpose of this committee would be to
review citizen appeals from decisions made by the ATC, and it would meet on an
as- needed basis only.
With the creation of an appeals committee, citizens will still have an oppor-
tunity to resolve their complaints without necessarily reaching the City Council.
The process will also be made more efficient with the requirement that the
appeals committee membership be knowledgeable on the subject matter before
them.
M & C NO. 85 -15
December 24, 1985 /
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Policy for Issuance of Off Site Charitable Gamblin g Licenses
To the Honorable Mhyor and City Council:
r The last legislative session authorized the issuance by the State of Minnesota of
off site charitable gambling licenses. This means that charitable organizations
qualifying under State regulations may receive certain types of gambling licenses
to be exercised off the premises or site of the organization in liquor license
establishments only. There are three types of licenses which are allowed. Class A
(fee $100) allows bingo, raffles, paddle wheels, tip boards, and pull tabs; Class B
( fee $50) allows raffles, paddle wheels, tip boards and pull tabs; and Class C ( fee
$50) is for bingo only`. These licenses are governed by the Minnesota Charitable
Gambling Control Board. The municipality has the opportunity to veto the
issuance of the license. The procedure that is followed is the applicant goes to
the State of Minnesota, gets the forms, fills them out and then brings them to the
local municipality. The municipality must sign off that they have acknowledged
receipt of the application and the date of its receipt. The municipality then has
30 days from that date to notify the State if they disapprove of the application. If
the municipality fails to respond in the 30 day period, the State will automatically
issue the license. At your last Council meeting you rejected a license and on
December 23, 1985 the City was in receipt of a license application for the Lions Club
to conduct charitable gambling at the Lynbrook Bowl and the Earle Brown Bowl. Both
of the licenses requested are type B licenses, which allow raffles, paddle wheels,
tip boards, and pull tabs.
The Council has basically three choices of action relating o charitable
g gambling.
They could choose to completely ignore the applications, therefore, allowing them
to be approved by the State without any local review. Another choice is to state
that you will approve of off site charitable gambling and then review the applicants
on a case -by -case basis, exercising some judgment as to which types of charitable
organizations and what locations you wish to allow this type of gambling. Thirdly,
the Council could issue a blanket order to reject and veto all requests for
charitable gambling. If you choose the latter of these requests, that is to reject
and veto all requests, basically y ou would be maintaining th
Y Y e status quo a s far as
g
q
charitable amblin because the only thing g g y ng you would be rejecting is off site
charitable gambling. The type of charitable gambling that currently is occurring
in churches, social halls and by civic clubs would still continue.
The Police Chief and I recommend the Council reject all charitable gambling
applications for a period of time, at least 18 months, until Y ou can view the
experience of other communities. No one is yet willing to predict what the
ramifications of this type of activity within liquor license
YP Y q establishments will
be. We have a good on sale liquor operation within the community, and I am
personally not willing to jeopardize that without further study and experience.
The City Council could at any point in time decide to change the rejection policy
once it has had sufficient opportunity to view the experiences of other communities.
The reason we are requesting a total rejection until we view other communities'
experiences is that if we once start issuing these licenses as a practical matter, it
M&C N0. 85 -15_ -2- December 24, 1985
will be almost impossible to withdraw them. If you were to sustain this policy for
approximately 18 months you could then look at other communities' 12 month
experience and give yourself six months time for staff analysis and policy review.
You could also review the statistics as to how much money was raised and how it was
used. This might allow you to develop a more intelligent and long lasting policy on
issuance of these licenses after you have viewed some experience on the matter.
Respectfully submitted,
Gerald G. Splin r, City Manager
