their Council packets. He stated that Housing *Coordinator Brad Hoffman was present
this evening to discuss some of these items. The Housing Coordinator stated that
H.F. 2467 deals with tax increment financing in Minnesota and that there are some
significant changes being proposed. He noted that tax increment financing has been
used with the Brookwood Project and the Earle Brown Farm. He added that industrial
revenue bonds are becoming a thing of the past but that housing revenue bonds are the
new development tool.
The Housing Coordinator stated that the three changes with the most effect would be
to limit the amount of the Tax Increment Financing District to 10% of the assessed
value of the City; to limit the total amount of a bond issue to 7 1/2% of the total
assessed value of the City; and that the Tax Increment District could not be used to
finance public improvements which could be assessed. The City Manager stated that
tax increment financing is the only tool left available to cities and that the
Legislature keeps imposing stricter regulations on this type of financing. He
added that the City would like to have the Council's permission to contact the
Legislature regarding these bills.
The Housing Coordinator then briefly reviewed H.F. 2442 which is a bill
contemplating a Hennepin County Housing Redevelopment Authority. The City Manager

bills which the City disagrees with.

RE: Final Plat - Brooklyn Farm First Addition
Mr. James T. Zahn, Ryan Construction Company, the developer of the above -
referenced plat, has petitioned the City ouncil to approve the final plat of
y PP P
Brooklyn Farm First Addition located West of and adjacent to the Historic Earle
Brown Farm and bounded by Summit Drive and Earle Brown Drive (see attached copy
of final plat).
Conditions placed on the preliminary plat by the City Council at its March 10,
1986 meeting are as follows:
1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
2. The final plat is subject to provisions of Chapter 15 of the City
Ordinances
3. The following easements shall be indicated on the preliminary plat
prior to final plat approval.
a. a utility easement for sanitary and storm sewer through Lot 4
b. storm water retention area for ponding of runoff
c. easements for cross access for lots within the plat.
4. The plan for grading, water retention and water quality for the entire
plat shall be approved by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission
prior to final plat approval.
While the approved preliminary plat includes all properties owned by Ryan
Construction and b the City it of Brookl r wi thin the Earle Bro wn Drive
y y Cente i
yn
"horseshoe" (see attached copy of preliminary plat), the currently- proposed
final plat includes only the property owned by Ryan Construction Company (i.e.
lots 2 and 3 as shown on the preliminary plat become lots l and 2 of this final
�I
plat). The reasons for not including the City -owned properties in this plat are
that (a) the title papers for the purchase of the "Texas Air" property have not
Sxw� Nam
March 19, 1986
is Page 2
yet been finalized; and (b) the City needs to clarify the ownership status of
"Tract H" of R.L.S. 1380 (i.e. the Easterly leg of Earle Brown Drive) and
process street vacation proceedings covering a portion of this tract; and (c)
limiting the plat to the Ryan -owned properties simplifies the dedication
requirements for the plat.
Regarding this First Addition, Conditions No. 1, 2 and 4 of the preliminary plat
approval have been met. Condition No. 3 will be met if the final plat is
approved subject to the following conditions:
1. Receipt of title opinion from the City Attorney to confirm the
appropriate parties responsible for signing the plat.
2. The following easements shall be indicated on the final plat:
a. an easement for a sanitary sewer main to serve the property shown
as lots 1 and 4 in the preliminary plat of Brooklyn Farm (i.e. the
City -owned property)
b. drainage easements for the proposed storm water retention pond and
for the proposed storm sewer outfall line.
3 Execution of an agreement to provide the following:
a. easements for cross access with the property shown as lots 1 and 4
in the preliminary plat of Brooklyn Farm (i.e. the City -owned property)
b. execution of a water and sewer main and fire hydrant maintenance
and inspection easement agreement.
c. execution of a maintenance and inspection agreement covering the
storm water retention pond and the storm sewer outfall line.
4. Payment of all City Attorney fees incurred in the review of the plat.

ENGINEER'S REPORT
March 20, 1986
Earle Brown Farm Redevelopment Project
Project No. 1986 -08
Contract No. 1986 -I
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Drainage pond construction, storm sewer inlets,
storm sewer outfall line, and augmentation well
PROJECT LOCATION: Earle Brown Farm Site between Summit Drive and
Earle Brown Drive
DISCUSSION: In February, 1986 a drainage study by Westwood
Planning S Engineering Company was completed for
the Earle Brown plat located north of Summit Drive
and east of Earle Brown Drive. Drainage plans
were completed for four lots within the plat.
Lot 1: Earle Brown Farm Property
Lot 2: Ryan - Phase IV
Lot 3: Ryan - Phase III
Lot 4: Biesner - Senior Citizen's Housing
!' The drainage study utilized the Shingle Creek Watershed District interim
guidelines dated January, 1986. In order to control storm water run -off
rates, water quality and sediment control it was determined that two water
storage ponds on the plat were necessary (see Figure 1).
The easterly portion of the plat, lot 4 - the Biesner site, is proposed to
have a small pond (less than 1 acre-foot storage) constructed south and
west of the proposed parking garage. This pond will collect the storm
water from the Biesner site before it outflows to the primary storm sewer
trunk line on Summit Drive.
Another pond (approximately 1.5 acre-foot'storage) is proposed to be
constructed on portions of lots 1, 2 and 3. This pond will drain the Earle
Brown farm site and the Ryan sites prior outflowing to the primary storm
sewer trunk line on Summit Drive.
Both of these storm drainage ponds are designed with an impervious bottom
to hold water at all time, similar to the retention pond west of City Hall.
This feature in conjunction with appropriate landscaping and physical
amenities will serve as an attractive feature to the development on the
7415 WAYZATA BOULEVARD, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55426 (612) 546-0155
four lots. Additionally, the ponds have been designed to meet the require-
ments of the Shingle Creek Watershed District. On March 13, 1986 the
preliminary storm drainage and erosion control plans were approved by the
Shingle Creek Watershed District Board of Commissioners at their regularly
scheduled monthly meeting.
Final design plans and specifications have been prepared and costs deter-
mined for the Earle Brown Project No. 1986 -08. Work includes construction
of a storm sewer pond serving development on Lots 1, 2 and 3; storm sewer
inlets and outflow lines; landscaping amenities and an augmentation well.
Specific details of the project include (See Figure 2):
INLETS - Four storm sewer inlet lines collect water from Lots 1, 2, and 3.
Only the inlets and storm sewer stubs beyond the construction limits of the
pond are included in Project No. 1986 -08.
POND - A storm drainage pond, as described on Figure 2, is proposed to be
constructed as part of Project No. 1986 -08. Included in the pond
construction is dewatering, grading, a clay liner placement, rock for
erosion control, sodding above the high water line, a fountain within the
pond, an irrigation system for the landscape around the pond and a five
foot bituminous trail around the pond at the outer limits of construction.
AUGMENTATION WELL - During dry periods of the summer months evaporation
will cause the pond water level to lower. An augmentation water line is
proposed from the existing Earle Brown farm house water well to the storm
sewer inlet line. This connection will be utilized during periods of the
day (early morning hours) when the well is not being used by the residents
of the farm house.
4 OUTFALL LINE - A 42" outfall storm sewer line is proposed to be constructed
from the west side of the pond to a connection point at the existing storm
sewer line in Summit Drive. A skimmer device will be constructed as part
of the outfall line. This device, required by the Watershed Disrict regu-
lations, will not allow oils and debris from the parking lot and surface
areas of the site to outflow from the pond. Regular maintenance of the
pond will be required to remove the debris.
Below is an estimate of cost delineated in these four categories. The
overall improvement cost estimated for 1986 -08 is $168,543.00.

RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 1986 GENERAL FUND BUDGET
WHEREAS, Section 7.09 of the City Charter of the City of Brooklyn Center
does provide for a contingency appropriation as a part of the General Fund
Budget, and further provides that the contingency appropriation may be
transferred to any other appropriation by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, there is an appropriation in the amount of $1,545 in the 1986
General Fund Police Department Budget for a radar unit; and
WHEREAS, the Chief of Police has advised the City Manager that the
amount budgeted was for a stationary radar and that recent court rulings
have made the use of stationary radar very difficult and that the use of a
moving radar is much more efficient; and
WHEREAS, the cost of the moving radar is $550 more than the cost of the
stationary radar:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn
Center to amend the 1986 General Fund Budget as follows:
Transfer an appropriation of $550 from the Contingency Account in the
Unallocated Departmental Expenses Budget (Account No. 4995, Unit No. 80) to the
Other Equipment Capital Outlay Account in the Police Protection Budget (Account
No. 4552, Unit No. 31).

MEMORANDUM -
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Jim Lindsay, Chief of Police
DATE: ,March 7, 1986
SUBJECT: Purchase of Radar Equipment
Approved in the 1986 Budget is $1,545 for a stationary radar.
Stationary radar means that it must be used in a standing
position. This cannot be used while the squad is in motion.
This radar differs from moving radar in that moving radar can be
used while the squad is in operation. Court requires that with
moving radar the unit is calibrated at the start of the shift and
at the end of the shift. The courts in the past used to accept
this calibration procedure for stationary radar also. During the
past year, a tendency has developed with some of the judges that
requires the calibration of stationary radar units at each
location the unit is used. This includes calibration before the
unit is used at each location and calibration before the unit is
moved to another location or the vehicle is assigned to other
duties. This calibration of stationary radar at each location
makes it impossible at times when cars respond to medicals or
emergency type calls. The use of moving radar is not hampered by
these procedures.
The sales representative from Kustom Signals was contacted as to
the cost of the various radars and any financing plans they may
have. It was learned that the HR12 radar has been reduced in
price nearly $500.00 this past year. The purchase price now
stands at $2,095.00. The 1986 Budget has allotted $1,545.00.
The difference between the two would be $550.00 if the unit was
purchased outright. They also have a finance plan where it can
be purchased in twelve (12) monthly payments of $192.00 each.
This method would bring the cost up to $2,304.00, which includes
$209.00 for the finance charge. If the moving radar was
purchased with a nine (9) month cost during 1986, the cost from
the 1986 Budget would be $1,728.00; leaving a balance of $576.00 .
to be budgeted in 1987.
To review, the department has four options. They are:
1. Purchasing the stationary radar unit for $1,545.00.
2. Deferring the purchase of a moving radar unit to the 1987_
Budget.
Memorandum to Gerald G. Splinter
Page 2
March 7, 1986
3. Financing the purchase of a moving radar unit in twelve (12)
monthly payments spread over the two (2) years.
4. To purchase the .moving radar unit outright at a cost of
$2,095.00.
It is my understanding that option #4, with a differential of
$550.00 would have to be approved by the City Council;
transferring the funds from contingency. I would like to
recommend that the options listed above be prioritized in reverse
order; that is #4 being my first recommendation, #3 being second,
et cetera.

M & C No. 86 -05
March 20, 1986
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY
SUBJECT: Retirement Incentive Program
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
My office currently has under review the feasibility of establishing a Retirement
Incentive Program similar, but not necessarily identical to that previously adopted
by the Council in 1983 (Resolution No. 83 -33 attached).
We had fully expected to have a report to the Council on the feasibility of such a
program and its benefits to the City of Brooklyn Center by this date. However, the
press of other business and otential Legislative action aff t' retirement dates
P affecting re i
g
under the PERA program have caused delays. A number of employees are considering
retirement within 1986 and are aware that I am considering recommending this type of
program. To eliminate the doubt for these employees we are asking the Council to
consider this proposed resolution which will allow them to proceed with their
retirement plans without having to worry about whether they will or will not be
eligible for Retirement Incentive Program adopted during 1986.
Please understand the Council is not committing to adoption of such a program with
this resolution. This resolution states e that if you adopt a program within the
calendar year 1986 that employees retiring uri 1986 before the adoption of the
g n g P
program will qualify for it.
Respectfully submitted,

RESOLUTION NO. 83 -33
RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the City of Brooklyn Center has been subjected to the loss of
revenue from the State of Minnesota and other sources; and
WHEREAS, these revenue shortages have necessitated and will continue to
necessitate the City of Brooklyn Center to reduce its expenditures and
WHEREAS, this reduction in expenditures will result in the loss of funding
for centain employment positions with the City of Brooklyn Center; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the Brooklyn Center City Council to accomplish
staff reductions, if possible, through attrition;
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL that the City of Brooklyn Center
establish an Employee Retirement Incentive Program with the following provisions:
1. Employees qualifying for this program must be eligible for
a full retirement annuity under PERA or PERA Police without
reduction of benefits because of age on the effective date of
their retirement. In addition, to be eligible for this program
an employee must have been employed by the City of Brooklyn Center
for the last five (5) consecutive years prior to July 1, 1983.
2 To enroll in this program qualified employees must submit a
letter of retirement effective on or before December 31, 1985.
These letters must be submitted to the City Manager before
July 1, 1983.
3. Qualified employees submitting their letters of retirement
should understand that once submitted their letter of
retirement is final.
4. Positions vacated by employees retiring under this program will
not be filled without prior City Council approval of the funds to
be expended on filling the vacancy.
5. Qualified participating employees will be entitled to receive
payment of an amount not to exceed $15,000 per employee
calculated by multiplying the number of months between the
date on which the employee retires and the employee's or
their spouses sixty -fifth (65) birthday (whichever is the greater)
times $125 rounded to the nearest full month. This payment is
intended to reflect the City's desire to allow the retiring
employee to maintain current levels of health insurance benefits
for themselves or their dependents.
RESOLUTION NO. 83 -33

Retirement Incentive Program and to fund this program from

The Planning Commission met in regular session and was called to order by Chairman
Pro tem Mike Nelson at 7:32 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Chairman Pro tem Mike Nelson, Commissioners Molly Malecki, Carl Sandstrom, Lowell
Ainas and Ann Wallerstedt. Also present were Director of Planning and Inspection
Ronald Warren, City Engineer Bo Spurrier, and Planner Gary Shallcross. Chairman
Pro tem Nelson stated that Chairman Lucht and Commissioner Bernards were unable to
attend and were excused.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - February 27, 1986
Motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Ainas to approve the
minutes of the February 27, 1986 Planning Commission meeting as submitted. Voting
in favor: Chairman Pro tem Nelson, Commissioners Malecki, Sandstrom and Ainas.
Voting against: none. Not voting: Commissioner Wallerstedt. The motion
passed.
APPLICATION NO. 86008 (Lombard Properties, Inc.)
Following the Chairman's explanation, Chairman Pro tem Nelson noted that the
applicant for the first business item was not present and took up the next item of
business. The Secretary introduced Application No. 86008, a request for site and
building plan approval to construct a 70,100 sq. ft. retail shopping center at the
corner of Earle Brown Drive and Summit Drive behind Target. The Secretary reviewed
the contents of the staff report (See Planning Commission Information Sheet for
Application No. 86008). The Secretary also referred to the report of the Shingle
Creek Watershed Management Commission regarding this project and asked the City
Engineer to explain the recommendations of the Watershed Commission. The City
Engineer reviewed the conditions of the Watershed Commission's action on the
development proposal. He noted that the conditions have to do with the design of
the skimming device, with erosion control during construction, and providing
easements for the ponding areas on the site.
Commissioner Malecki expressed concern regarding a lack of trees in the parking lot
area. The Secretary explained that the islands are all quite small and could not
support trees. Commissioner Sandstrom asked where the snow would be stored if the
islands are so small. The Secretary stated that it would mostly be stored in the
perimeter green areas.

APPLICATION NO. 86012 (Ryan Construction Company)
The Secretary then introduced the next item of business, a request for site and
building plan and special use permit approval to construct a 111f755 sq. ft. office
building at the northeast corner of Summit Drive and Earle Brown Drive (west leg) .
The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Commission
Information for Application No. 86012 attached). The Secretary also mentioned the
fact that the grading, drainage and utility plan for the entire area surrounding
this office development had been reviewed by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management_

i
Commission earlier that day and was acted on. He referred the Commission's
attention to the report of the Watershed Commission regarding the plan for this
area. The Secretary also referred to the three dimensional models of the proposed
office buildings in the Ryan complex. He stated that the size of the second office
building would be determined in the future depending on traffic generation. The
City Engineer then reviewed the conditions attached to the approval of the Shingle
Creek Watershed Management Commission report. He noted that they again had to do
with the design of the storm water skimmer, erosion control, easements for water
detention areas, and establishing the size of the water detention area needed.
Commissioner Sandstrom expressed concern regarding the possibility of people
falling into the pond, especially youngsters. He also pointed out that swimming
pools have to be fenced and wondered why this pond would not have to be The City
Engineer pointed out that the pond would fill slowly and that it would be graded to a
gradual slope (4 to 1) so that there would be no great danger of someone falling into
a pond and being unable to climb out. He stated that the pond would hold water the
year round and compared it to the City's pond behind the Community Center which is
not fenced. The City Engineer also pointed out that the pond serves aesthetic as
well as functional purposes and that it would be inappropriate to surround it with a
barrier that would detract from the aesthetics. The Secretary compared the
proposed pond to other ponds in the City which do not have fences. He noted that
residential swimming pools have a sharp dropoff from which a young child, cannot
climb out. He stated that this pond would have a gradual slope.
Chairman Pro tem Nelson then asked the applicant whether he had anything to add.
Mr. Jim Zahn, representing Ryan Construction Company, then introduced Mr. Wayne
Bishop, the project architect. Mr. Bishop briefly explained the choice of the
at
m erials and the massing of the building.. He stated that the design was very much
intended to be sensitive to the Earle Brown Farm complex to the east. He stated that
the building would step up and away from the Farm complex and that the glass exterior
would reflect the farm buildings back to an observer looking at the office
buildings. He also stated that the pond and surrounding green area would enhance
the rural atmosphere surrounding the Farm complex. He pointed out, finally, that
the color of the buildings would complement the farm buildings and that the red
stripe would be the same color as the farm buildings.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application No. 86012)
Chairman Pro tem Nelson then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked
whether anyone present wished to speak regarding the application. Hearing no one,
he called for a motion to close the public hearing.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Malecki to close the
public hearing. The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Sandstrom asked how the office development would relate to the senior
citizen center. The Secretary showed a transparency of the plat for the entire area
surrounding the Earle Brown Farm, noting the location of the Ryan office buildings
and the planned residential development to the south, as well as the Farm itself.

APPLICATION NO. 86010 (City of Brooklyn Center HRA)
Follow ing the recess, the Secretary introduced an application initiated by the City
to rezone from I -1 to R7 the vacant parcel of land immediately south of the Earle
Brown Farm site. The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see
Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 86010 attached). The
Secretary also pointed out that the surrounding property in the area is still to be
I -1. He stated that buffer strips are required where I -1 developments abut R7
developments. He added, however, that the requirement for meeting those buffer
requirements would be placed on the R7 development because it is coming in later than
the I -1 developments. The Secretary recalled for the Commission some of the
discussion regarding the proposed housing development on the area south of the Earle
Brown Farm. He stated that the area had not been considered good for family
housing, but that the Planning Commission had felt that elderly housing would be
appropriate in this location.
Commissioner Ainas pointed out that the Earle Brown Farm Committee which has studied
the reuse of the farm buildings, has pretty much assumed elderly housing to the south
almost from the beginning of their discussions.
Commissioner Sandstrom stated that he felt it was logical to change the
Comprehensive Plan to accommodate elderly housing in this area. He stated that he
felt it was a good development proposal with shopping available in surrounding
areas. The Secretary also pointed out the attention paid to pedestrians in the
plannin g P of the streetsca e in this area as well.
Chairman Pro tem Nelson then asked whether Mr. Al Beisner had anything to add. Mir.
Beisner, representing Earle Brown Commons, the residential developer of the site,
approached the Commission with drawings of the site and building elevations. Mr.
Beisner then reviewed a number of points of the conceptual plans with the Planning
Commission. He noted the concern regarding sight lines to the Farm complex from
Summit Drive. He also pointed out a proof of parking plan showing that the
requirement of two stalls per unit could be met on the property. He stated that the
desire was for a covered walkway between the Earle Brown office building which would
be part of the complex and the hippodrome He stated that this would allow elderly
residents to take advantage of services in the hippodrome without having to brave
the elements. He stated that the Earle Brown Commons project would be a full
service senior housing project with a number of the services available in the farm
buildings.
Mr. Beisner then showed the Planning Commission the building elevations of a
tentative plan for the building. He stated that he was attempting to match the
brick of the Earle Brown office building, but that if this were impossible he would
have to go to some completely different color that would complement, but also
contrast, the office building brick. He stated that the project, including the
senior center, could provide transportation for seniors in the area to come to the
development. He discussed with the Commission the possible uses for the hippodrome
and the horse barn as senior- related services. He also discussed with the
Commission the option of buying units within the building.
Commissioner Sandstrom left the table at 9:29 p.m. and returned at 9 :43 P.m.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application No. 86010)
Chairman Pro tem Nelson then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked
whether anyone present wished to speak regarding the application. No one spoke.
The Secretary suggested that the Commission leave the public hearing open until the
3 -13 -86 -5-
next consideration of the rezoning. He stated that the rezoning decisions should
be based on the guidelines and standards in the Zoning Ordinance. He suggested that
the application be tabled with direction to prepare a Comprehensive Plan amendment
if the Planning Commission is inclined to approve the rezoning.
ACTION TABLING APPLICATION NO. 86010 (City of Brooklyn Center HRA)
Motion by Commissioner Ainas seconded by Commissioner Sandstrom to table
Application No. 86010 with direction to staff to prepare a resolution recommending
the rezoning and a Comprehensive Plan amendment to allow residential uses in the
area adjacent to the Earle Brown Farm. Voting in favor: Chairman Pro`tem Nelson,
Commissioners Malecki, Sandstrom, Ainas and Wallerstedt. Voting against: none.
The motion passed.
Commissioner Sandstrom stated that the Planning Commission should go on record as
favoring the development. The Secretary and Mr. Beisner then discussed the timing
and procedure for submitting the development plans for the residential project.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
a. Builders Square
The Secretary then reviewed with the Planning Commission the reuse of the K Mart
building on 63rd and Brooklyn Boulevard by a Builders Square store. He noted that
they would be adding a lumber staging area to the east side of the building near the
garden center and that the staff had insisted that the addition be masonry
consistent with the building and not a metal shed. He also stated that there would
bean extension of the screen wall of the truck dock behind the building. He pointed
out that he Builders Square is a permitted use in that building and asked the
Planning the
whether they felt a formal application was needed or whether it
could simply be approved through a normal building permit.
Commissioner Ainas asked whether there would be any outside storage. The Secretary
stated that there would be none. He pointed out that outside storage is allowed in
the C2 zoning district, but that it must be screened. He stated that the building
would still have a garden center. Commissioner Ainas stated he saw no need for a
formal application.
ACTION ACKNOWLEDGING BUILDERS SQUARE AS A PERMITTED USE
Motion by Commissioner Ainas seconded by Commissioner Malecki to recognize Builders
Square as a permitted use in the old K Mart building at 3600 63rd Avenue North and
waving the requirement for a site and building plan approval of the proposed lumber
staging area to the east of the building. The motion passed unanimously.
APPLICATION NO. 86004 (Paul Worwa)
The Secretary then briefly introduced Application No. 86004, an appeal from a
determination by staff that not more than five children, including those of the
resident family, may be serviced by a family day care operation in the R3 zoning
district.- He referred the Commission's attention to a draft ordinance amendment
which would not count the resident children in the Rl, R2 and R3 zoning districts
toward the ordinance maximums. He recommended that the Commission deny the appeal
and act on the ordinance amendment.
ACTION DENYING APPLICATION NO. 86004 (Paul Worwa)
Motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Malecki to deny
Application No. 86004 and recommending adoption of a draft ordinance amendment to
Section 35-405 of the Zoning Ordinance to allow up to five children to be serviced in
a family day care operation in the R2 and R3 zoning districts. Voting in favor:
Chairman Pro tem Nelson, Commissioners Malecki, Sandstrom, Ainas and Wallerstedt.
Voting against: none. The motion passed.

DISCUSSION ITEMS CONTINUED
b. Retail Parking Formula
The Planner then distributed to the Commission a survey of suburban municipalities
with their parking requirements for retail shopping centers. There followed a
lengthy discussion as to the rationale behind changing the parking formula.
Commissioner Sandstrom made the point that Brooklyn Center should be competitive
with other communities in trying to attract business development in the City.
Commissioners Nelson and Wallerstedt wished to know what the impact of a formula
change would be on existing developments in the City. They asked - whether _it would
have a favorable influence on redevelopment possibilities and or whether it would
spur smaller out buildings in retail parking lots. The Planner acknowledged both
of these possibilities and added that it might also allow for somewhat more intense
use of existing structures, for instance with some additional restaurant space. He
also suggested that more area could be devoted to landscaping within parking lots
and on retail sites generally. He discussed with the Commission with St. Paul Book
and Stationery building which reserves space within the building for proof of
parking. He stated that this was a ludicrous arrangement and that it should be
changed. He also stated that his own experience as a resident of Brooklyn Center
was that the shopping centers and retail establishments, other than Brookdale, were
never full, even during the Christmas shopping season.
The Secretary urged the Commission to keep gross floor area as the unit of measure in
determining parking space requirements. He advised against using leaseable area
since this can change with internal building modifications. 'Mr. Steve Mosborg of
Lombard Properties added that, based on his own experience in Colorado and elsewhere
and from his reading of the study of the Urban Land Institute, he did feel that the
Brooklyn Center ordinance was overly burdensome at the low end of the scale.
c. Landscape Requirements
The Planner then distributed to the Commission a draft of a landscape point system
where various sites would be required to provide a minimum number of landscape
points per acre based on so many points per planting type. The Planner explained that
the point system offered was somewhat arbitrary at this time and had not been tested
extensively against existing projects. He did point out that the two site plans
approved by the Planning Commission that evening did meet the standards set up in
this point system. He also pointed out that it was important for the relative point
differential between planting types to mirror the relative price differential
between planting types so that there would not be an economic incentive to fulfill
landscape requirements with only one type of planting. Commissioner Ainas agreed
that there should be landscape standards with minimum numbers of plantings
required. He suggested that less weight be given for potted plants since these can
be provided in great numbers and they are only out and flourishing at a limited time
of the year. The Planner pointed out that landscape standards would give the City
some systematic basis for accepting or rejecting a proposed landscape plan.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Wallerstedt to adjourn
the meeting of the Planning Commission. The motion passed unanimously. The
Planning Commission adjourned at 10:46 p.m.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 86008
Applicant: Lombard Properties
Location: Summit Drive and Earle Brown Drive
Request: Site and Building Plan
The applicant requests site and building plan approval to construct a 70,100 sq. ft.
shopping center at the corner of Summit Drive and Earle Brown Drive (east leg). The
property in question is zoned C2 and is bounded on the northeast by Summit Drive,
on the southeast by Earle Brown Drive, on the southwest by LaBelle's, and on the
northwest by Target. The proposed retail center is a permitted use in the C2 zone.
A site and building plan for a somewhat smaller center on this site was approved
under Application No. 81052, but was not built.
The site plan calls for an access off Earle Brown Drive and two off Summit. The
westerly access off Summit serves as a truck access behind the building. The
customer access off Summit appears to be offset more than 125' from the access to
the Farm site on the opposite side. The access on Earle Brown Drive is 170' back
from the intersection, but the plan does not 'show how it. relates to the Davanni's
access across Earle Brown Drive. The truck access to the center is immediately
adjacent to a similar access for Target. It is regrettable that no agreement could
be reached between the parties to provide a joint access. The truck access opens
into the LaBelle's site and an agreement has been reached with LaBelle's for cross
access through their lot to Earle Brown Drive. Another opening to the LaBelle's
site also is proposed in front of the building to allow customer traffic free access
between sites without entering the public streets.
The site plan provides for 349 parking stalls and 85 proof -of- parking stalls for a
total of 434 total potential stalls, just enough to meet the ordinance parking re-
quirement for this building. Virtually all of the proof -of- parking stalls would
exist in an enlarged greenstrip (33' wide; 18' for stall depth plus 15' normal re-
quirement) adjacent to both Earle Brown Drive and Summit Drive. All parking spaces
are shown as properly delineated by concrete islands. The applicant is aware of
discussions concerning a possible downward revision in the City's parking require -
ment for retail uses. At this time, they have indicated that any surplus area would
be used for ponding requirements, not for additional building space.
The grading plan presently provides for most ponding in a corner of the parking lot
adjacent to the street intersection. There are also smaller ponding areas desig-
nated for roof runoff on the truck access behind the building. During a one year
frequency storm (approximately 2" rainfall), there would be a one foot depth of
water for about 40 minutes above the catch basin in the major ponding area. The
drainage plan for this site must be reviewed and approved by the Shingle Creek
Watershed Management Commission for compliance with interim regulations pertaining
to water attenuation and purification. That body will also consider the plans on
March 13th and we expect some feedback on this project by the time of the Planning
Commission meeting. The City Engineer has indicated that the skimming device pro-
posed in this case will have to be modified to more permanently trap floatable
debris.
The landscape plan for the site calls for 21 shade trees, including 10 large (5"
diameter) Skyline Honey Locust, 4 Red Oak, and 7 American Linden. Ten (10) decora-
tive trees and 19 coniferous trees (all Green Spruce) are also indicated. The ten
Honey Locust are all indicated in the sidewalk area in front of the building.
3 -13 -86 -1
Application No. 86008 continued
Other trees are all shown in perimeter green areas; none in parking lot islands. Six
Black Hills Spruce have been added at the north end of the greenstrip adjacent to
Target to provide screening of the back of the center from Summit Drive. Five (5)
shade trees have been indicated in that area as well on the Target side of the
property line. The plan also calls for 117 shrubs (72 Isanti Dogwood and 30
Arcadia Juniper and others) and over 600 Red Geraniums in two major planters i
front of the building.
The proposed building would have a brick exterior and a canopy overhanging part of
the front sidewalk similar to Brookdal a Square (except better landscaped). The
rear of the building is provided with five dumpster enclosures A sidewalk is in-
dicated between the Summit Drive right -of -way and the large sidewalk in front of
the building. No site lighting has been indicated. The building plans, which have
already been submitted, indicate 400 watt high pressure sodium (amber) luminaires
on 30' high poles. Five single light standards and two doubles are shown around
the perimeter of the parking lot. 'Finally, the name of the shopping center is
proposed as "Centerbrook Plaza ". Staff have asked the applicant to propose a
different name since Centerbrook is the name of the City's golf 'course.
Altogether, the plans appear to be generally in order. Approval is recommended,
subject to at least the following conditions:
1. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building .
Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of
permits.
2. Grading, drainage, utility and berming plans are subject to review
and approval by the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of permits.
3. A site performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee (;in
an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be submitted
prior to the issuance of permits.
4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical equip-
ment shall be appropriately screened from view.
5. The building is to be equipped with an automatic fire extinguish-
ing 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 land-
sca P ed areas to facilitate site maintenance.
7. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to
Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances.
8. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and
driving areas.
9. An as -built utility survey of the property shall be submitted to the
Engineering Department prior to release of the performance guarantee.

~ Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 86012
Applicant: Ryan Construction Company
Location: Summit Drive qd rleB o n D ive.((west)
Request: Site and Buil�ingJ peciai �se �ermiE
The applicant requests site and building plan and special use permit approval to
construct a 111,755 sq. ft. office building on a 5.9 acre parcel at the northeast
corner of Summit Drive and the west leg of Earle Brown Drive. The property in
question is zoned I -1 and is bounded by Summit Drive on the south, by Earle Brown
Drive on the west,, by a vacant I -1 parcel also owned by Ryan Construction on the
north, and by the Earle Brown Farm site and the site of a future elderly housing
development on the east. Office uses are allowed by special use permit in the I -1
zone.
Access to the site will be possible at three points. The site will have an access
of its own off Summit Drive and joint accesses shared with the office site to the
north and with the future residential complex to the east.
The plan provides 503 parking stalls on the site, including 33 proof -of- parking
stalls. The plan provides 463 spaces for the office building and 40 additional
spaces for lease by the City for the Earle Brown Farm site. The 463 spaces exceeds
by 9 the requirement for the office building if only general office tenants occupy
it. Mathematically the parking formulas would allow just 2,700 sq. ft. of gross
floor area to be devoted to medical uses. The parking spaces to be leased by the
City will be located at the northeast corner of the site.
The landscape plan for the site has been worked out in cooperation with Tim Erkila
of Westwood Planning, the City's consultant on design aspects of the restoration of
the Earle Brown Farm site. There has been an attempt to preserve the key sight
Tines, especially from the intersection of Summit and Earle Brown Drives to the
water tower on the Farm.
The plan calls for 66 shade trees, including Ginko (3), American Linden (6), Red-
wood Linden (6), Summit Ash (13), and Skyline Locust (38). Shade trees are proposed
in the perimeter greenstrip as usual, but also in most parking lot islands and in
the large open plaza areas north and south of the building. A gap is left in the
trees along Earle Brown Drive to allow visibility of the northwest portion of the
Farm site through a "window" window between this s proposed building and a later phase to
the north. The plan calls for only three decorative trees (Radiant Crabs) and
eight coniferous trees -- four clumped at the street intersection and four clumped
in a lawn area east of the building. The plan also calls for over 200 shrubs in
parking lot islands and in planters at the northwest and southeast corners of the
building.
A pond for both aesthetic and drainage purposes is to be located northeast of this
proposed building on both this site and the site of the next phase. The pond will
be surrounded by a lawn and pedestrian path. A circular drive for dropping people
off is proposed between the buildings. A walkway will curve around the edge of
this circular drive and will meet the water's edge supported by .a retaining wall._
The pond will occupy the area closest to the residential buildings on the west
side of the Earle Brown Farm site and will serve as an aesthetic buffer between
the Farm complex and the office complex.
3 -13 -86 -1-
Application No. 86012 continued
The grading, drainage, and utility plan for the site has been worked out in coordi-
nation with Westwood planning to insure maximum visibility of the Farm complex from
Summit Drive and to provide adequate runoff attentuation and purification to meet
the interim regulations of the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission. (Note:
the Watershed Commission must review and approve the drainage plans for this site.
That body will consider the plans also on March 13 and some feedback will hopefully
be available by the Planning Commission meeting). All drainage from the parking
lot will be conveyed by storm sewer to the holding pond on the east side of the
Ryan complex. An outlet with a skimmer will be set at elevation 840' and will con-
vey overflow via a 42" storm sewer line to the City storm sewer in Summit Drive.
The outlet will be constricted so that pond level will rise to 843' durinq
The holding pond will accept drainage from the Earle Brown Farm site as well as
both phases of the Ryan office complex.- The judgment of the City Engineer is that
the design of the skimmer will have to be modified to permanently trap floatable
debris. Such modification should be a condition of approval, subject to the recom-
mendations of the Watershed Commission.
The proposed building is to step up in height from four stories at the east end, to
five in the middle, and six at the west end. The exterior is to be reflective glass'
and spandrel panels. Colored spandrel panels at the tops of the third, fourth,
fifth, and sixth floors create accent stripes on the building facade. The reflec-
tive surface is tentatively to be lightly rose tinted and the stripes would be red.
The project architect, Wayne Bishop, has suggested this color scheme as complemen-
tary to the red buildings of the Farm complex. The entrances on the north and south
sides of the building will be recessed for two floors (the third through fifth
floors overhang the entrance area). There are secondary entrances at the east and
west sides of the building. A small lunch room is shown at the west 'ends.of the
first floor. Accessory food establishments and other internal shops up to 10% of
the floor area are a permitted use in office buildings over 40,000 sq. ft. of gross
floor area, provided there is no exterior signery. Trash will be stored inside the
building. Site lighting will be provided by 250 watt metal .halide luminaires on 25'
poles.
Regarding the special use permit standards (see Section 35 -220 attached and also
Section 35- 330.3f pertaining to commercial uses in the I -1 zone). Mr. James Zahn
of Ryan Construction Company has submitted a letter discussing the proposal as it
relates to those standards (see letter attached). Mr. Zahn notes that the City has
been consulted in the planning of Brookdale Corporate Center III from the beginning.
He points out that the proposed glass facade building is an improvement for the
area, that important sight lines are preserved, and that the 'pond and walkway will
benefit the entire area. Mr. Zahn also states that the office development is com-
patible with surrounding developments and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
Finally, Mr. Zahn points out that the proposed office development is consistent with
the probable development scenario assumed in the May, 1985 traffic study by Short-
Elliott-Hendrickson.
All the above points are valid and relevant to the issue of granting a special use
permit for office development on this site. Of particular concern at this stage is
the development's conformance with the traffic study. When the SEH traffic study
was conducted, the land in question was subdivided in a different configuration.
However, Ryan Construction did own a 6+ acre parcel which was projected to have
approximately 130,000 sq. ft. of office development. Since the proposed building
is 111,755 sq. ft. on 5.9 acres, it clearly lives within the assumptions of the
study. Development of the second phase office building to the north will, however,
require a much more detailed evaluation of projected traffic. That phase is not a
part of this application and no approval of that development is implied by a favor-
able action on this application.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No 86010
Applicant: City of Brooklyn Center HRA
Location: Northerly of the intersection of Summit Drive and Earle Brown Drive
Request: Rezoning
The applicant requests rezoning from I -1 to R -7 of two parcels of land totaling
approximately 7.1 acres in area located northerly of the intersection of Summit
Drive and Earle Brown Drive. The parcels are currently described as Tract I, R.L.S.
1594 and Tract A, R.L.S. 1380. These two parcels are proposed for combination (to
be described as Lot 4, Block 1, Brooklyn Farm Addition) under Planning Commission
Application No. .86007, The land is bounded on the east and south by Earle Brown
Drive; on the west by Summit Drive and property proposed for office development by
Ryan Construction Company (see Planning Commission Application No. 86012); and on
the north by the historic Earle Brown Farm. The rezoning is requested in order to
allow construction of 269 units of elderly housing in a high -rise complex.
Although the rezoning request is submitted by the City HRA, rezoning is being sought
primarily by Mr. Al Beisner of Earle Brown Commons, the developer of the proposed
elderly residential project. Mr. Beisner has submitted his evaluation based on
Section 35 -208 of the City Ordinances (Rezoning Evaluation Policy and Review Guidelines)
which is attached for the Commission's review.
It is the stated policy of the City that rezonings must be consistent with the Com-
prehensive Plan and also, not constitute "spot zoning ", which is defined as a
zoning decision which discriminates in favor of particular landowner, and does not
relate to the Comprehensive Plan or to accepted planning principles. The Guide-
lines (a through i of Section 35 -208) and the above stated policy are the basis upon
which the rezoning proposal is to be measured.
Regarding the Comprehensive Plan, it must be pointed out that Table 14 and Figure 15
at pages 98 and 99 of the Comprehensive Plan recommend this entire area for Service/
Office uses. The proposal is, therefore, inconsistent at least with this element
of the Plan. The Comprehensive Plan, however, also acknowledges as a stated policy,
the need to preserve the character of the Earle Brown Farm. The Housing Plan,
.contained within the Comprehensive Plan, encourages the.development of housing
designs specifically for the elderly and the handicapped. If the Commission is
inclined to recommend approval of the rezoning, based on an evaluation of the re-
zoning guidelines, it must amend the Comprehensive Plan to eliminate this inconsis-
tency.
Regarding the guidelines contained in Section 35 -208, Mr. Beisner states that the
proposal will provide a public need or benefit by providing full service housing
for the elderly. The 1z storey office building (formerly Earle Brown's office)
although not on the Minnesota Register of Historic Places, would be preserved and
function as a reception area and activity area for the residential project. He
notes that the senior high -rise housing will support the historic preservation of
the Earle Brown Farm by making use of the hippodrome to provide ancillary services
to people living in the elderly high -rise. This, he claims, will help to make the
preservation of the Earle Brown Farm economically feasible.
He goes on to explain that the R7 rezoning and elderly housing proposal would be
consistent with and compatible with surrounding land uses. He cites the Shingle
Creek Towers complex, in the same general area, as a successful high -rise residen-
tial in a heavily commercialized area. He believes the RT zoning to be very com-
patible with the retail and office uses in the area. He points out that the
elderly housing will be ccmplimentaryand not in conflict with surrounding land uses
in that travel time and peak hour traffic will not coincide with existing or
planned developments.
3 -13 -86 -1-
fi•
w.
Application No. 86010 continued
Mr. Beisner argues further that:the proposed rezoning is not out of line with what
has occurred in the south part of the Industrial Park over the last 20 years;
the broad public purpose of the proposal will provide a stimulus, catalyst and
economic base for the preservation of the historic Earle Brown Farm buildings;
an industrial type development of this area will not fit very well among the exist-
ing land uses (office buildings, retail uses and a medical clinic); the r-ezoninq
will allow for a development that is in the best interests of the community because-
it does allow for historic preservation.
It may come as no surprise that the staff concurs with the rezoning request. It is
believed that the proposal does contain public benefits. Although the Comprehensive
Plan, as mentioned previously, does recommend this area for Service /Office uses
rather than high -rise residential, the Plan also recommends providing more elderly
housing and also, as a stated goal, preservation of the farm buildings on the Earle
Brown Farm. It should be noted that as far back as 1984 consideration has been
given to allowing elderly housing in this area that could make use of, and assist in
the preservation of,some of the buildings on the Farm. BRW undertook a review in
1984 of a housing proposal containing over 400 residential units (copy of the report
attached). Their conclusion was that a housing development was an excellent use for
this site. They stated that "while this activity would not be consistent with sur-
rounding development, it has the singular distinct advantage of being probably the
best way to achieve long -term preservation of the Earle Brown Farm for historic
purposes." The report cites excellent access to a wide range _ of - services and goods
within the area,(such as Brookdale Shopping Center and associated businesses; com-
munity recreation facilities such as Shingle Creek, Central Park, the Community
Center; the Hennepin County Library and Service Center; excellent freeway access
which allows movement to the rest of the Metropolitan area; and that MTC servicesare
also available to the site)as good amenities for residential development. BRW's
report also notes that from a traffic viewpoint, the residential use will generate
less daily and much less p.m. peak hour trips than other uses.for the site.
During June, 1985, the Planning Commission also reviewed the Earle Brown Farm Re-
development Program and Tax Increment Plan at which time, among other things, the
idea of a 269 unit high -rise residential development was discussed as part of the
Plan for preserving the Earle Brown Farm. The Commission, in its comments, noted
that it was willing to consider modification to the Comprehensive Plan and rezoning
at the time a development proposal is brought forward. The Earle Brown Farm ,
Committee has been considering also the question of preservation and the reuse of
the Farm and the use of a portion of the Farm for services ancillary to a high -rise
elderly residential use of the property is a real likelihood.
Rezoning proposals, following introduction and initial review, are typically tabled
and referred to the particular Neighborhood Advisory Group for review and comment.
In this case, the Planning Commission serves as the Neighborhood Advisory Group for
the Industrial /Commercial Park area. If the Commission is inclined to recommend
the rezoning following review and comment and a public hearing, the matter should
be tabled and the staff be directed to establish a date and publish a notice of a
Comprehensive Plan amendment. Also, the Plan amendment must be referred to the
Metropolitan Council.

APPLICATION NO. 86004 (Paul Worwa)
. The Secretary then introduced what had originally been scheduled as the first item
of business, an appeal from a determination that Section 35 -405 of the Zoning
Ordinance permits only five children, including children of the resident family, in
a family day care operation in the R3 zoning district. The Secretary reviewed the
contents of the staff report (See Planning Commission Information Sheet for
Application No. 86004 attached). The Secretary also clarified the wall separation
between townhouses. He stated that two one -hour walls are required by a property
line separation, not by zoning designation. He gave examples of rental townhouse
complexes (Marvin Gardens, Victoria Townhouses and Georgetown Townhouses) which do -
not have two one -hour separations between units. He also reviewed with the
Commission the past revision of the ordinance which allowed day care and other
permitted home occupations in multiple - family residential districts. He stated
that five children was decided on as a limit because of a concern regarding possible
congestion in multiple - family districts, particularly apartment zones. The
Secretary also referred to the licensing standards used by the State and the County
in determining how many children could go into a family day care situation. The C
Secetary stated that he did not have those standards at hand, but would try to get
them for the Commission's review in determining what is an appropriate number of
children to be allowed in a townhouse family day care operation.
Commissioner Wallerstedt asked if there was a specifc recommendation from the
staff. The Secretary answered that he did not recommend that the Planning
Commission uphold the appeal since it seemed fairly obvious that allowing beyond
five children in the R3 district would be contrary to the ordinance. He stated that
the Planning Commission may, however, wish to consider a change in the ordinance to
allow more children in a day care operation in a townhouse. The Secretary then
paraphrased the requirements of the State law with respect to zoning. He stated
that 12 children in a licensed day care operation must be allowed as a permitted
single- family use. He stated that 13 to 16 children in a licensed day care
operation in 'a multiple - family district must be allowed "unless otherwise
provided." He stated that the City does otherwise provide through its limitation
of five children including children of the family in multiple - family districts.
The Secretary explained that he did not feel the law requiring 13 to 16 children in a
day care operation as a permitted use in the multiple- family districts referred to
operations within a single residential dwelling unit, though it might exist within`
such a district or within a complex. The Secretary stated that the Commission might
want to look at land area as some kind of gauge for the number of children that could
be allowed. He pointed out that single - family homes are required to have more land
area than townhouses, which, in turn, are required to have more land area than
apartment units.
2 -13 -86 \...
-4-
Commissioner Bernards asked what process there was to review the City's ordinance on
this question. The Secretary answered that the staff is presently under direction
from the City Council to review the home occupation ordinance. He added that the
City is also involved in a law suit with Dr. Lescault regarding some of the
provisions of the City's home occupation ordinance. He stated that the staff could
draft an ordinance amendment for consideration by the Planning Commission on the
question of day care in the R2 and R3 districts, if the Planning Commission so
desires. Commissioner Bernards suggested that perhaps the resident children need
not be counted. He asked whether the State limited the number of children based on a
minimum floor area required. The Secretary responded that it was his understanding
that it does. Chairman Lucht reiterated an interest in seeing those standards and
stated that the Planning Commission could direct staff to prepare an amendment on
the matter.
Chairman Lucht then asked the applicant whether he had anything to say. Mr. Paul
Worwa stated that the points in his letter were covered in the report. He stated
that he would like to emphasize his desire for some compromise position for the R2
and R3 districts between the single - family allowance and the maximum permited for
the R4 through R7 district.. He stated that he felt the limitation of five children
is too restrictive in the R3 district. He pointed out that his townhouse is larger
than the single- family home he used to live in where he could have many more
children. Commissioner Malecki again observed the need for a guide line based on
square footage.
There followed a brief discussion of the State regulations and the City's ordinance
limitations. Mr. Worwa stated that the State regulations would allow at least five
nonresident children in their townhouse. He stated that he did not know the exact
square footage requirements. Commissioner Wallerstedt asked how large their
townhouse was. Mr. Worwa responded that it was approximately 1400 sq. ft.
Chairman Lucht asked the staff to obtain a copy of the State standards, including
square footage requirements, for review by the Planning Commission in consideration
of a possible ordinance amendment.
ACTION TABLING APPLICATION NO. 86004 AND DIRECTING STAFF TO PROVIDE MORE
INFORMATION ON DAY CARE STANDARDS
Motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Wallerstedt to table
Application No. 86004 and to direct staff to provide further information on the
State's licensing requirement for family day care for possible revision of the
City's ordinance. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki,
Sandstrom, Bernards and Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
The Secretary asked whether there was any other direction to the staff in terms of
possibly drafting an ordinance amendment. He asked whether the Commission agreed
with the idea of distinguishing the R2 and R3 districts from the R4 through R7
districts. Commissioner Bernards responded in the affirmative and recommended
only changing the R2 and R3 district limitations. Chairman Lucht asked Mr. Worwa
whether the Homeowners' Association Agreements in any way limited the number of
children that would be allowed in a day care operation. Mr. Worwa stated that there
was no provision in his association's agreement that he was aware of.
Commissioner Wallerstedt stated that she would be interested in standards that
would require quality in day care operations. The Secretary answered that the
State has preempted the area of regulation having to do with the operation of day
care in homes. He stated that the City regulates day care as a home occupation, that
is, from the standpoint of land use. Commissioner Wallerstedt stated that she was
2 -13 -86 -5-
aware of the City's limitations, but wished to encourage quality in day care
operations. The Secretary agreed and also stressed his support for the limit of
five in apartments. He stated that to allow more in an individual apartment unit
would be overly disruptive.
Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 86004
Applicant: Paul Worwa
Location: 6801 Fremont Place North
Request: Appeal
This application is an appeal from a determination by staff that not more than five
(5) children may be allowed in a day care operation conducted in a townhouse in the
R3 zoning district. The specific property in question is 6801 Fremont Place North,
a townhouse in the Hi Crest Square Estates development. That development is zoned
R3 and is bounded by 69th Avenue North on the north, by single - family homes on the
east, by the Hi Crest Apartments on the south, and by Humboldt Square Shopping
Center on the west. Section 35 -312 of -the Zoning Ordinance allows permitted home
occupations in the R3 zone. Section 35 -405 further limits such home occupations to
include day care of "five (5) children, including children of the family occupying
a dwelling unit in other residential districts (R2 through R7).
On the basis of these ordinance sections, the Worwas have been denied a day care
license for more than 2 nonresident children since they have 3 children of their
own.
The appellant has submitted a letter (attached) in which Mr. Worwa sets forth his
arguments against the City's ordinance limitations. He differentiates townhouses
and double bungalows from apartments and points out that his existin townhouse is
larger and is adjacent 9 nt t
J o more open space than his previous P p p ous detached home in which
he could be allowed to provide day care for 10 children. Mr. Worwa also points out
that apartment units are s fire-
rated by a single one hour fire rated wall, whereas
townhouse units are separated by two such walls. Mr. Worwa goes on to discuss the
demand for day care in the townhouse development and the difficulties of getting
licensed. He concludes by recommending that the ordinance be changed to allow
seven or eight children in family day care in the R2 or R3 distri -cts, but not Rare
than five non - residents.
Staff would point out that state law has changed g, d since our current ordinance was
adopted and-that 12 children may now be served by a day care operation in a single-
family zone. It may be that, from a land use perspective, the City should not count
resident children toward the five to be allowed since they do not represent addi
tional traffic to or from the premises. We have contacted a number of other cities
and there is a wide range among these communities (Minneapolis suburbs) as to how
they treat family day care in a townhouse unit. Some prohibit the activity entirely;
others treat a townhouse the same as a single - family residence and allow up to 12
children, which is mandated as a permitted single- family use of property under
Minnesota Statute 462.357. Some communities have not had to deal with the question
at all. Brooklyn Park requires the issuance of a special use permit for the care
of more than 2 children in a family dare care operation located in a townhouse.
Staff believe that state law does allow municipalities to limit the number of
children in a family day care operation in multi - family residential districts to
less than 12 or even to prohibit such operations altogether. It is, therefore,
purely a policy question as to how many children should be allowed in a family day
care operation in the R3 zoning district.
One of the chief arguments made by the appellant has to do with the need for a
distinction between a townhouse or double bungalow and an apartment unit. Mr. Worwa
makes the case that townhouses and double bungalows have superior sound separation
and better access to green space than a typical apartment unit. We acknowledge
these differences and.agree that a further refinement of the ordinance, to distinguish
between the R2 and R3 districts on one hand and the R4 -R7 districts on the other,
would not be illogical: We do not recommend any change in the R4 -R7 districts.'

Re: Lion Park Floodway Analysis
Dear Mr. Spurrier:
As part of our analysis of the hydraulic effects of the proposed golf
course for the Lion Park area along Shingle Creek, we analyzed the effect
of filling on the discharges downstream. The permit from the Shingle Creek
Watershed Joint Powers Organization required that the golf course have the
same storage volume for the 100 -year 24 hour flood as existing conditions
and that the 100 year flood profile not change - from existing conditions.
The proposed golf course meets this criteria. However, because of the
marginal soils in the area, the soils are unstable and stabilization will
be required. Stabilization will be done by surcharging the soils which
will reduce the flood storage volume temporarily. This letter covers the
hydrologic and hydraulic effects of the temporary reduction in storage
volume. Figure l shows the inflow hydrograph for the 100 year 24 hour
flood and the outflow hydrographs for the existing and for the surcharging
conditions. The inflow hydrograph was obtained from the U.S.G.S. analysis
of the 100 -year flood for the Brooklyn Center Flood Insurance Study (FIS).
The outflow hydrographs were developed by a storage routing analysis of the
inflow hydrograph through storage volume at Lions Park. The storage volume
for existing conditions was obtained from the U.S.G.S. FIS analysis. The
storage for the surcharging condition was developed by Brauer Associates,
the landscape architects designing the golf course. The peaks outflow
dishcarge for the existing condition is 700 cfs and for the temporary
surcharging condition is 815 cfs.
As part of our analysis, we reviewed the effect of the 115 cfs
increase in discharge on the 100 year flood elevation of Shingle Creek
downstream of the golf course. The critical point is at 49th Avenue, where
the 100 -year flood elevation according to the City of Minneapolis FIS study
is 839.6. The increase in dicharge of 115 cfs would cause a stage increase
of Shingle Creek at 49th Avenue of 0.5 feet. The 100 -year flood elevation
of Shingle Creek at 49th Avenue with temporary surcharging is 840.1.
If you have any questions on this data, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

Dear Mr. Glondys:
The City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota wishes to revise the floodway
for Shingle Creek in the Brooklyn Center Flood Insurance Study (FIS) which
was published on August 17, 1981.
The City is developing a golf course_ along Shingle Creek from
cross - sections A to C. The golf course changes the overbank topography and
Mannings "n" values for this reach of Shingle Creek. In addition, the City
is constructing a club house for the golf 'course in the present floodway.
The City wishes to revise the floodway to allow filling for the club house
construction.
Enclosed for your review are the HEC2 outputs for the 100 year and
floodway analyses for both the HEC2 model from the FIS and the proposed
topography. Also enclosed are maps showing the revised floodway and
proposed topography. Any questions you have during the review should be
addressed to Suzanne Jiwani of Barr Engineering at 612/830- 0547.
Sincerely,
Sy Knapp _

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Director of Finance
DATE: March 17, 1986
SUBJECT: EXTENSION AGREEMEN - NORTHBROOK LIQUOR LEA
I have negotiated a lease extension with Southmark Management for our Northbrook
Liquor Store. Our lease expired on December 31, 1985, and we have continued our
operation without a lease since that time. We had been on a thirteen month ex-
tension of a lease that originally ran from November 30, 1981 through December 1,
1984 at the prior rental terms.
The new lease extension would be for an additional eighteen months and there
would be no increase in the fixed rent. Southmark would also, as part of the
lease extension, agree to relieve the City of any obligation to pay disputed sums
for common area maintenance and estate tax applicable to 2 n 983. A
pp years .198 and 1
word of explanation on the disputed sum follows. Our lease calls for us to pay
an estimated monthly amount in addition to the fixed rent for common area (parking
lot, etc.) maintenance and real estate tax increases. After the year is ended, we
then are billed for the actual annual cost which exceeds the estimated monthly
payments. We did not receive the annual adjustments after years 1982 and 1983.
We assumed that there were no adjustments. In 1985, we were billed for adjustments
to 1984 expense, plus adjustments for 1982 and 1983. Because the adjustments were
billed so date, I have refused to pay them. I agreed that the 1984 adjustment was
proper, but that I would not pay it until the 1982 and 1983 adjustments were written
off. They have now agreed to do so as part of the lease extension. The disputed
sum amounted to $6,984.98. I n summary, Southmark agrees to extend the l for
eighte months at no in crease in fixed rent (n change since November 30, 1981)
and to can the dis puted sum of $6,985 owing them
In exchange for renewing at no fixed rental increase, Southmark has asked that we
do the following at our expense:
1. Paint and wall cover throughout the store.
2. Recarpet the floor.
3. Install a new sign on the wall that faces 57th Avenue.
" ?l:e .So.rcetlrirg nZ �e
Memorandum to G. G. Splinter
March 17, 1986
Page Two
I have visited the store and came to the conclusion that:
1. We need only to wall cover the entrance to the store
at a cost of approximately $250.
2 -. We need not recarpet the floow, but rather apply carpeting
to the check -out counter at a cost of approximately $300.
3. Install new wall signs on both the 57th Avenue and Morgan
Avenue sides at a total cost of approximately $1,200.
_I_t is my recomme that I be authorized by the City Council to instruct
Southma Management to prepare an extension agreement, in accordance with th
te rms stated in this memorandum, and that the City Council agree to acce that
agreem
I have attached a summary of our current lease and a copy of the proposal that
I received from Southmark.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Park & Recreation Commission and City Council
FROM: G. G. Splinter, City Manager
SUBJECT: Proposed North Mississippi Regional Park
Attached please find the following:
a. Memorandum describing the background of the proposed regional park.
b. The feasibility study schedule.
c. Post newspaper article.
This memorandum and the attached materials are being provided to give you background
information and facilitate preliminary discussion.
The current preliminary draft of the feasibility study recommends a regional park on
the east side of the Mississippi with the following boundaries: I -694 bridge on the
north; approximately the Camden bridge on the south; the river on the east and I -94
on the west. It calls for the possibility of cul- de- sacing Lyndale (dead ending)
between 53rd and 57th Avenues. However, the draft does state that Brooklyn Center
has expressed the need for the Lyndale connection as part of its local collector
street system.
Brooklyn Center's Comprehensive Guide Plan indicates that sometime in the future
the land on the river side of Lyndale between 53rd and 57th Avenues should be
parkland. This land, coupled with River Ridge Park, would allow a
bicycle /pedestrian trail connection along Lyndale from Brooklyn Center's southern
boundary (53rd Avenue) to its northern boundary (73rd Avenue).
The conflict between the preliminary draft of the North Mississippi regional park
feasibility study and Brooklyn Center's Comprehensive Plan and the position of
their study committee representatives (Councilwoman Scott and City Manager
Splinter) is that the preliminary draft does not assure the Lyndale connection
between 53rd and 57th, and it includes the properties on the west side of Lyndale
between 53rd and 57th in the regional park.
The preliminary draft includes the properties on the west side of ,Lyndale in the
park, but schedules them for acquisition only on a voluntary basis for a number of
years in the future after other acquisitions are completed and considerable
development of the rest of the park has been completed. The preliminary draft also calls for acquisition of the properties on the east side of Lyndale from 49th Avenue
in Minneapolis to 57th Avenue in Brooklyn Center as a high priority.
During meetings of the Regional Park Citizens Committee Brooklyn Center residents
between 53rd Avenue and 57th Avenue have vigorously opposed the taking of their land
for the park. The staff has received a few positive comments supporting the
regional park after the recent article in the Post.
We are not asking for a specific recommendation from the Park and Recreation
Commission at this time because to date we do not have a final ` draft of the
feasibility study. We are presenting it to you at this time for preliminary
discussion. You should know that the City Council may ask you for a recommendation
on this matter by sometime around April 15, 1986 when we receive the final draft of
the feasibility plan.
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE
NORTH MISSISSIPPI REGIONAL PARK STUDY /MASTER PLAN
REGIONAL RECREATION OPEN SPACE SYSTEM
The 1974 Metropolitan Parks Act (Minn. Stat., Ch. 473.147, 1978) established a
regional recreation open space system comprised of regional parks, park
reserves and trail corridors. The current 45,000 -acre regional system includes
28 parks, 10 park reserves and 4 trail corridors open to the public. Once
completed, the 60 -unit regional system will include 38 parks, 14 park reserves
and 6 trail corridors and will meet the Metropolitan Area's need for regional
recreation open space to the year 2000.
The Metropolitan Parks Act created a partnership between the Council, advised
by the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission, and a group of regional
park implementing agencies including counties, special park districts and
cities. The partnership works as follows: The Council prepares 'a regional
park system plan and obtains funding from the state. The implementing agencies
prepare master plans for each regional park under their_ jurisdiction. Follow-
ing master plan approval by the Council, the implementing agencies request
Council rant funds to acquire and develop regional arks. Funds are ranted
g q P g P g
under contracts for specific acquisition or development projects in accordance
with the approved master plan. The agencies own and operate the parks using
local funds.
MANDATE TO ESTABLISH A NEW REGIONAL PARR
Under the provisions of Laws of Minnesota 1985 Special Session, Chap. 16,
Sec. 5, subd. 2(b), the Metropolitan Council,
...shall, unless not feasible, promptly designate the area on the:east -and
west banks of the Mississippi river, consisting of the lands northward
m the and
from Camden are 4
ea of the city of Minneapolis to the Interstate 9
�' P
corridor, as a regional park. The Hennepin County park reserve district
and the Minneapolis park and recreation board are the operating agencies,
with cooperation from the affected units of government...
The law also appropriates $500,000 in state bond proceeds and mandates the
Council to,
...spend for this project (i.e., land acquisition /development) all interest
earned on the appropriations in this subdivision ($12,750,000) and on any
other money, up to $1,500,000....
In July 1985, the Metropolitan Council began a program which sets aside
interest funds earned on invested regional park funds. Sometime during Fiscal
Year 1987 (July 1, 1986 '- Jul y 1, 1987), $2 million will be available for
acquisition and development of North Mississippi Regional Parka
PLANNING PROCESS
Metropolitan Council parks and open space staff have initiated a study team
comprised of representatives from the affected implementing agencies. In
addition to Council staff, the team includes representatives from the
Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB), the Suburban Hennepin Regional
Park District (SHRPD), and Anoka County. The team will conduct a study to
determine if the land described in the legislation is feasible as a unit in the
regional recreation open space system.
The study team will be advised by two groups: the Staff Liaison Group and the -
Citizens Advisory Group. These groups have been appointed as follows:
Staff Liaison Group
1 - Minneapolis Community Development Agency staff
1 - Minneapolis Waterworks staff
1 City of Brooklyn Center staff
1 - Minnesota Department of Transportation staff
1 - City of Fridley staff
5
Citizens Advisory Group
1 - Chair, appointed by the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission
2 - Northeast Minneapolis representatives, appointed by MPRB
2 - Camden area representatives, appointed by MPRB
2 - Minneapolis city -wide representatives, appointed by MPRB
1 - Senator Kroening appointee
2 - Brooklyn Center representatives, appointed by SHRPD
2 - SHRPD -wide representatives, appointed by SHRPD
1 - Senator Luther appointee •
2 - Fridley representatives, appointed by Anoka County Board
2 - Anoka County -wide representatives, appointed by Anoka County Board
17
The planning process will include study team meetings with the staff liaison
group, the citizens advisory group, and the general public. The final plan
will be considered by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, Suburban
Hennepin Regional Park District Board and the Anoka County Board of
Commissioners. The plan will then be considered by the Metropolitan Parks and
Open Space Coamtission and the Metropolitan Council. The study /master plan
process should be completed by July 1, 1986. If the study proves feasibility,
the approved master plan will meet the requirements necessary for the Council
to make acquisition and development grants from funds appropriated in the 1985
bonding bill.

little of everything. The Parks and Recreation Department will evaluate attendance
during the summer and make recommendations for next year.
