DISCUSSION ITEMS
ADMINISTRATIVE TRAFFIC COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION TO INSTALL SIDEWALK
The City Manager noted the Administrative Traffic Committee has recommended to
install sidewalks on the west side of Humboldt Avenue North from 69th Avenue North to
71st Avenue North and from 72nd Avenue North to Woodbine Lane. He reviewed the
proposal, including the locations of existing and proposed sidewalks, said the next
step will be to discuss the proposal with the area residents. He then reviewed the
funding source, pointing out that it will be municipal state aids.
Councilmember Theis requested a clarification of the location of existing sidewalks
in the area around the 'proposed site. He asked if the property owners of the
abutting property were present at the recent neighborhood meeting to discuss
traffic problems on Humboldt Avenue North. The City Manager responded that some of
the residents were at the meeting. Councilmember Scott asked if the school
crossing would remain as it is, or if it would be changed with installation of the new
sidewalk.' The City Manager pointed out that recently the school crossing was moved
from 71st Avenue North to 70th Avenue North, and no additional changes would be made
Councilmember Lhotka asked what some of the objections of the abutting property
owners have been. The Director of Public Works stated that the residents have said
they have no need themselves for the sidewalks and they do not want additional
pedestrian traffic in their yards. Councilmember Lhotka asked if the proposal is
for installation of three blocks of sidewalks, and the City Manager said the area is
two long blocks and one short block. The Director of Public Works reviewed the cost
of the proposal.
1 -13 -86 -7-
Councilmember Theis asked if the school crossing at 70th Avenue North has created
any cut - through traffic in the residential area, and the Director of Public Works
noted that there has been very little. He described the locations of the current
school crossings in the neighborhood around Evergreen Park School. He pointed out
that neighbors in the area have fenced in their yards to avoid problems associated
with pedestrians. Councilmember Lhotka asked how much sidewalk area there is in
the City, and the Director of Public Works stated that approximately 43 miles of
sidewalk exist in the City. Councilmember Lhotka requested an accurate account.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis to
proceed with the project for installation of sidewalks on the west side of Humboldt
Avenue North from 69th Avenue North to 71st Avenue North and from 72nd Avenue North
to Woodbine Lane. The motion passed unanimously.
YEAR 2000 REPORT
The City Manager presented two alternatives for proceeding with the Year 2000
Report. The first alternative would be to have staff present completed proposals
to the City Council, and the second alternative would be to have the staff, in
cooperation with the advisory commissions, conduct initial work and report back to
the City Council with preliminary findings prior to completing the proposals.
Councilmember Scott stated that she prefers the second alternative. Councilmember
Lhotka asked what is meant by preliminary findings, and the City Manager explained
that the staff and advisory commissions could outline some of the possibilities and
report to the City Council on what other alternatives are available. Councilmember
Lhotka expressed concern over the amount of time that would be necessary to complete
the second alternative, and the City Manager noted the schedule has been revised
somewhat by staff and the advisory commissions. The City Manager pointed out that
this item will be discussed at the January 27, 1986 City Council meeting, at which
time the City Council will have the revised schedule of completion dates. Mayor
Nyquist pointed out the importance of involving the commissions, and the City
Manager noted that the Chamber of Commerce is also interested in seeing through the
completion of several items.
GAMBLING LICENSE POLICY
The City Manager reviewed M&C No. 86 -02 and noted that the City had received two
license applications. Councilmember Hawes noted that after reviewing the
memorandum, it bothers him that charitable organizations would hire people to work
at the gambling operation. He expressed concern that some individuals would be
hired and paid on a percentage basis. Mayor Nyquist stated that he has nothing
against the Lions Club, but concurs with City staff on their recommendation.
Councilmember Theis stated that he agrees with Councilmember Hawes on the
importance of volunteerism by charitable organizations.- He noted the Lions Club is
a good organization in Brooklyn Center, but disagreed with the concept of hiring
someone to raise funds. He also expressed some apprehension related to the total
size of the project to be undertaken by the Lions Club.
Councilmember Lhotka said he understands the concerns expressed by Councilmembers
Hawes and Theis, but requested that more discussion continue on this item prior to
setting a moratorium on approval of such licenses. The City Manager noted that the
Chief of Police and he attempted to draft some restrictions, but with only four
people administering the program at the State level, it has been difficult to get
answers to questions on the policy. He referred to the usefulness of being able to
review the experience of other cities before setting a policy in the City of Brooklyn
Center.
1 -13 -86 -8-
Councilmember Scott pointed out that Brooklyn Center has never waited for anyone
else to show the way.. She stated that the Lions Club deserves a try and suggested by
setting five basic conditions, the Lions Club could be a test case. She recommended
that gambling licenses at off -site locations be granted to charitable organizations
based on the following: the local organization must exist in Brooklyn Center for a
minimum of five years; no more than five percent of the proceeds may be spent on
administrative costs; proceeds must be spent on community activities; no person may
be hired on a percentage basis; and the hours of operation must be limited to
workable hours.
Mayor Nyquist asked what type of enforcement problems would result, and the City
Manager pointed out that the Police Department would be responsible for
enforcement. He noted that he would not anticipate the Police Department spending
a lot of time at the gambling location, but would be involved more if problems arise.
He recommended that if any criteria are developed, they be labeled as interim
because of the possibility of future problems resulting.
Councilmember Scott requested that the hours of operation be limited because of the
time commitment that would be necessary for a charitable organization's members,
and recommended that the Lions Club be given a try on an interim basis.
Councilmember Lhotka asked if the Lions Club objected to the restriction of hours
and days of operation, and members of the Lions Club responded that there would be no
problems with this. A representative of the Lions Club stated the Lions Club is
trying to raise funds for donations and some revenues. He noted that they do not
want to jeopardize their organization or the City, and requested permission to
operate Sunday through Saturday, 4:00 p.m. until 11 :00 p.m. He asked for a six
• month trial period, and pointed out that an investigator from the City checked out
the Lions Club organization and found no problems with it. Mayor Nyquist noted that
the Lions Club is not on trial this evening. He asked what type of revenue is
projected for the project, and the Lions Club representative said the club expects
to start with revenues of $1,000 per month. i.
The City Manager said from a staff perspective, it is preferable to.limit the
granting of a license to one organization during a trial period and then review the
results. The Lions Club representative noted that the State requires the filing of
monthly forms, and the City Council will be able to obtain a copy of this. Lions
Club representative Dick Risley requested that the Lions Club be given a chance; he
suggested that the Lions Club is the last who wants to be a part of any problems. He
added that funds are necessary for contributing to charitable activities in the
community.
Councilmember Theis expressed concern over the hiring of employees by the Lions Club
to operate the gambling operation. Mr. Risley noted the Lions Club members will be
paid $5 per hour when they work, and this is the same amount that will be paid to those
hired from outside the Lions Club. He added that this is an hourly wage and not a
percentage rate. Councilmember Theis referred to a past fund raiser of the Lions
Club, a casino night. He asked if the Lions Club members were paid for those
efforts. A Lions Club representative responded negatively, but pointed out that it
was only one night per year. Councilmember Theis pointed out that the Lions Club
would raise more money from the gambling operation than the casino night. The Lions
Club representative said that more money would be put back into the community.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to not
1 -13 -86 -9-
object to the Brooklyn Center Lions Club application for a charitable gambling
license, to order the City Manager and Chief of Police to work with the Lions Club to
develop an agreement including restrictions related to the charitable gambling
operation, and to request staff to object to all other applications for State
licenses for off -site charitable gambling (pull tabs) operations.
Councilmember Lhotka asked what the ramifications will be if an organization
appeals the City's action on license application. The City Attorney noted that it
is unclear which standards d rds would apply because it appears that no standards exist
currently. Mayor Nyquist expressed concern that problems may occur because of the
granting approval of one and not another application. The City Attorney pointed
out that the City Council has articulated its reasons for taking the course of action
that it is. Councilmember Lhotka asked when the 30-day application period for the
Lions Club expires, and the City Manager said the City Council has until January 23,
1986 to act on the Lions 'Club license application. Councilmember Lhotka stated
that he wishes to be involved in the negotiations with the Lions Club.
The City Manager pointed out that if the motion is approved, it would be a good idea
to periodically review the status of the gambling operation with the owners and the
Lions Club regarding any problems or concerns. Councilmember Lhotka pointed out
that at the December 30, 1985 City Council meeting it was suggested that a six -month
trial period be granted for the Lions Club. The City Manager said the license is for
12 months, and once issued, the 12 month period must be honored. Councilmember
Lhotka suggested reaching an agreement with the Lions Club to operate gambling for a
six -month period only. The City Manager stated the City will not be able to legally
enforce such an agreement. Councilmember Lhotka insisted on having a six -month
trial period. Councilmember Theis asked if the Lions Club would operate until the
summer and take the summer off. Mr. Risley noted that there probably will be a i
period after the middle of June when league bowling is not scheduled, and at this
time the Lions Club may take a break from the gambling operation. The City Manager
suggested that the Lions Club make a report to the City Council in July.
Upon vote being taken on the foregoing motion, the motion passed. Mayor Nyquist and
Councilmember Theis opposed the motion.
Councilmember Theis said he voted against the motion because the Lions Club is a
volunteer organization and the gambling operation goes beyond the scope of
volunteerism.
The City Manager stated that a gambling license application for a raffle sponsored
by the St. Andrews Society is also before the City Council this evening.
Councilmember Hawes pointed out that the president of the organization is a Brooklyn
Center resident, but the operation exists in Edina.
Mayor Nyquist recognized a member of the St. Andrews Society who stated the
organization has no legal address except a post office box in Edina. He explained
that the organization is a Scottish heritage group with membership throughout the
state. The State of Minnesota required that a phone number of a member be listed on
the application, and he was selected as the contact person. Councilmember Hawes
asked if the base of the operation is in Edina, and the member responded that there is
only a post office number there. He pointed out that 80% of the Society's
membership resides in the seven- county metro area and the rest are outstate members.
Councilmember Hawes expressed concern that an organization from Edina might apply
for a license in Edina but operate in Brooklyn Center. The City Manager said this
1 -13 -86 -10-
could not occur. The representative from the St. Andrews Society pointed out that
there will be no paid personnel involved in the raffle and the money is used for
scholarships.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Theis to not
object to the St. Andrews Society application for a charitable gambling license.
The motion passed unanimously,
EUROPEAN HEALTH SPA
Mayor Nyquist noted that he has received complaints from members of the European
Health Spa who feel they have been deprived of the use of their facility. The City
Manager referred the Council to a memorandum which points out that the Attorney
General's office said the decision to close the spa was a company decision, although
the State may have caused the closure because of the Spa's bonding problem.
ADJOURNMENT
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
adjourn the meeting. The motion passed unanimously. The Brooklyn Center City
Council adjourned at 8:58 p.m.

RE: Traffic Control Signal System on Shingle Creek Parkway
at John Martin Drive and at Summit Drive
Project No. 1985 - 02, Contract 1985 -M
The City of Brooklyn Center received bids on the above - referenced project. A
tabulation of the bids is contained in the resolution accepting the bid and
awarding the contract for that project.
The lowest responsible bidder was Hoffman Electric of St. Paul, Minnesota with a
bid of $132,300.00.
This project is funded by the City's Municipal State Aid Account and as such
must be approved by the State Aid Engineer. Attached is a letter from Julie
Skallman with the State Aid Department. The project is approved subject to the
requirement that the signal meet warrants within two years of the approval date.
In other words, by January 30, 1988 the City must submit documentation to show
that the signal at Summit and Shingle Creek Parkway meets the signal warrants.
If it does not, the State Aid money advanced to fund that project must be
returned to the Municipal State Aid Account.
Based on the Short- Elliott- Hendrickson analysis of traffic generated by the
Target store there is no doubt that the warrants will be met by the end of 1986.
The traffic signals are at intersections of local and Municipal State Aid
streets. Funding from the Regular State Aid Account is therefore limited to one
Half the total cost.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution accepting
bids and awarding the contract for Project No. 1985 -20, Contract 1985 -M,
Installation of Traffic Control Signal System on Shingle Creek Parkway at John
Martin Drive and at Summit Drive.

RE: Diseased Shade Tree Removal Program
Project No. 1986 -04
Annually, the City of Brooklyn Center establishes a Diseased Shade Tree Removal
Project. This project is established in order to expedite the removal of
diseased shade trees and other nuisance trees as designated by the City.
The contract enables the City contractor to remove trees on private property as
well as on public property. The trees on private property are paid for by one
of two methods. The property owner pays the full amount to the City on receipt
of a bill or the property owner has the cost of the tree removal specially
assessed to the property. Only about 10% of the property owners elect to have
the amount assessed against the property. Tabulated below is the estimated cost
of the 1986 Diseased Tree Removal Program:
Contract Cost $55,000.00
Engineering Cost (9 %) 4,950.00
Administrative Cost (1%) 550.00
Total $60,500.00
Based on our past experience, approximately 10% of the total cost will be
assessed. In other words, the City will specially assess an estimated $6,050.00
of tree removal costs for 1986. All of the assessed cost has been requested by
the property owners and the property owners have agreed to pay the assessments,
therefore, the project is feasible as proposed.
For the 1986 contract we, again, evaluated the use of more than one contractor
for the City's work. With one contractor the City will get a larger and more
reputable company because the contractor must have the capacity to cut 900
diameter inches in 10 working days. On the other hand, if we required a
capacity of 400 to 500 diameter inches in 10 working days, smaller, less stable
companies would be able to bid the work. Past experience with smaller companies
has not been satisfactory.
A second problem is the fact that having two contractors gives a subtle message
that the City anticipates and expects poor performance and has a backup. So,
the contractor gets the message that performance is not important.
' 7 714 .5o icct4af Naas ..
February 6, 1986
Page 2
Having two contractors doubles the administrative costs and adds an additional
forty to fifty percent in Engineering costs. That means the program cost
increases an estimated $2,800.
Our conclusion is that, at this time, it is unwise to make the Diseased Shade
Tree Removal Program more labor intensive. As I pointed out in a memo dated
January 10, 1986, the City will be automating record keeping to improve follow
up. This automated record keeping will solve the most visible problems we have
had in the past.
I have attached a summary of the Diseased Shade Tree removal work. The summary
covers the period from 1972 to 1985. For 1986 we estimate the program to be as
large as 1985.
The action requested of City Council is to adopt a resolution establishing the
Diseased Shade Tree Removal Project No. 1986 -04, approving specifications, and
directing advertisement for bids for Contract 1986 -F.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Brad Hoffman, HRA Coordinator
DATE: February 6, 1986
SUBJECT: Noise Reduction in Council Chambers, Quiet Room and Video Control
Room
In conjunction with our researching the needs for recording (video and sound)
interviews in the Quiet Room, it has been determined that the sound quality
could be significantly improved if we could reduce the noise from the building
air exchange system. In the past, noise from the system has also been at
best an annoyance at Council meetings and other public meetings in the Council
Chambers.
The quotation received from Rouse Mechanical for $2,350 should reduce the
noise level in the Council Chambers and the Quiet Room substantially. It
will not totally eliminate noise from the system, but Rouse Mechanical believes
it will reduce the noise to an acceptable level. This proposal constitutes a
first step. If the goal becomes the total elimination of the background
noise, the second step would be the relocation of the air mixing boxes.
The cost of moving the air mixing box in the Quiet Roan is estimated to be
$800 to $1,200; the Council Chambers has not been determined. A new location
for the box would have to be determined possibly on the roof. As I have
indicated, this would represent the second stage toward resolving the noise
problem if it was determined to be necessary.
Besides Rouse Mechanical, the problem was discussed with Trol -Matic who proposed
to do the same thing as Rouse. The quotation was approximately $5,000.
Eagan and Sons failed to respond to our requests for a quote. It is my
recommendation that $2,350 be appropriated from the City's Contingency Fund
for this project. I'll be available Monday evening to further discuss this
project.

Chairman Lucht noted that Commissioner Sandstrom was on vacation and was excused.
ADMINISTER OATH OF OFFICE
The Secretary then administered the Oath of Office to Commissioner Malecki for a two
year term on the Planning Commission to expire at the end of 1987.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - JANUARY 16, 1986
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Ainas to approve the minutes
of the January 16, 1986 Planning Commission meeting as submitted. Voting in favor:
Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Ainas, Nelson, Bernards and Wallerstedt. Voting
against: none. Not voting: Commissioner Malecki. The motion passed.
APPLICATION NO. 86002 (Dan Baker)
The Secretary then introduced the first item of business, a request for preliminary
plat approval to subdivide into two lots the parcel of land at the southwest corner
of Noble Avenue North and 63rd Avenue North. The Secretary reviewed the contents of
the staff report (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No.
86002 attached).
Commissioner Wallerstedt asked why the plat had to be reviewed by the Planning
Commission if both proposed lots met the requirements of City Ordinance. The
Secretary stated that the procedure required by City Ordinance is that all plats be
reviewed, whether or not there is a variance. Commissioner Bernards asked why
there r setback ere was a
3 b ek from the south property line. The Secretary explained that
the minimum setback is 10 , but that the back of the house would face to the south and
the front toward 63rd Avenue North to the north. In answer to a question from
Commissioner Wallerstedt regarding utility as -built information, the City Engineer
explained that the construction drawings for the water and sewer in Noble Avenue do
not show whether service lines were made to either lot in the proposed subdivision.
Chairman Lucht then asked the applicant whether he had anything to add. Mr. Dale
Hallon, a home builder working with the applicant, stated that they planned to build
a 62 wide house on the southerly lot that would be a 1500 sq. ft. tri -level house.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application No. 86002)
Chairman Lucht 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.

APPLICATION NO. 86003 (Normandale Tennis Clubs, Inc.)
The Secretary then introduced the next item of business, a request for site plan and
special use permit approval to construct an off -site parking lot west of Dale Tile
for the tennis club on the south side of Lakebreeze Avenue North. The Secretary
reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Commission Information
Sheet for Application No. 86003 attached). The Secretary also suggested two
additional conditions regarding an access to lift station #6 and observance of the
sight triangle.
Commissioner Bernards inquired as to the pedestrian route between the proposed off
site lot and the existing tennis club. The Secretary indicated that route on the
overhead transparency. Commissioner Bernards then inquired as to the speed limit
on the street separating the lot and the tennis club and expressed a concern
regarding the people crossing the street with cars coming around a turn in the road.
The Secretary acknowledged the possible conflict and suggested that perhaps warning
signs would be necessary. Commissioner Bernards asked whether an officially
designated crosswalk should be installed. The City Engineer stated that that was a
possibility, but added that he did not know how similar situations were treated
elsewhere in the City. The Secretary suggested that perhaps the matter should be
reviewed by the Administrative Traffic Advisory Commission and that this
requirement could be added as a condition to the approval.
Commissioner Bernards then asked what the parking requirement was for the tennis
club. The Secretary answered that the parking requirement was reviewed at the time
the tennis club was originally proposed. He stated that the ordinance requirement
was lowered somewhat, but that it was still considerably higher than what was
originally proposed by the applicant. He stated that the staff felt confident that
the 119 spaces in the proposed off -site lot would be adequate for the parking demand
of the tennis club in addition to the 262 on -site spaces. There followed a
discussion of the European Health Spa and the parking problems associated with it.
Chairman Lucht noted that the peak parking demand for athletic clubs is generally in
January and February when people are most concerned about getting into an exercise
routine.

r
Commissioner Ainas noted that the Brooklyn United Methodist Church at 71st and
Brooklyn Boulevard has an off -site parking lot. The Secretary stated that that
parking lot was probably installed prior to the City's ordinance. He noted that
Harron Methodist Church also has an off -site lot across a public street. He added
that the Red Lobster and the Green Mill restaurants have off -site lots located
across private roads.
Chairman Lucht then asked the applicant whether he had anything to add. Mr. Alan
Kimpell, the architect for the project, stated that he could answer questions of the
Commission. He stated that nothing presented in the staff report or the discussion
presented obstacles that could not be worked out.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application No. 86003)
Chairman Lucht then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked whether anyone
present wished to speak regarding the application. Hearing no one, Chairman Lucht
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 Bernards asked what the timetable was for installing the proposed lot.
Mr. Kimpell stated that, in all likelihood, it would begin in the spring.
ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 86003 (Normandale Tennis Clubs,
Inc.)
Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Ainas to recommend approval
of Application No. 86003, subject to the following conditions:

review and approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of
permits for the lower level of the multi - purpose building.
2. 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.
3. An underground irrigation system shall be installed in all
landscaped areas to facilitate site maintenance.
4. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and
driving areas.
5• Special use permit approval is subject to all applicable codes,`
ordinances and regulations.
6. , The applicant shall revise the plans, prior to consideration by
the City Council, to indicate concrete delineators at the north
end of the interior rows of parking.
7. A 25' sight triangle shall be preserved at the intersection of the

8. The plans shall be revised to provide a separate access for City
utility vehicles servicing lift station #6, said access to be
appropriately signed and paid for by the City.
g. The pedestrian crossing between the proposed off -site lot and the
tennis club shall be reviewed by the Administrative Traffic
Advisory Commission for the possible need for a crosswalk,
warning signs, etc. prior to the issuance of the special use
permit.
Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Ainas, Nelson, Bernards
and Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
DISCUSSION ITEM (Sign Ordinance)
The Secretary then introduced a discussion of the City's Sign Ordinance. He noted
that one of two recently proposed amendments to the Sign Ordinance had been adopted
by the City Council, that being in regard to signery at enclosed shopping malls. He
stated that the other ordinance regarding garage sale signs had failed, probably
because of an allowance for 10 sq. ft. off -site garage sale signs whereas off -site
real estate signs can only be 2 1/2 sq. ft. The Secretary stated that the real
estate signs permitted by the ordinance were confusing to enforce.
The Secretary then referred the Commission's attention to an article in the Zoning
and Planning Law Report regarding signs and billboards. He noted that the article
discusses aesthetics as a basis for regulation of signery. He stated that he would
like to throw out on the table for the Commission's consideration the idea of using
aesthetics as a criteria for approving signs. The Secretary stated that a wholesale
change in the Sign Ordinance was probably not needed, but that a reevaluation of the
ordinance on a section -by- section basis could be undertaken and suggestions made.
Chairman Lucht noted the provision allowing 30% of wall area to be devoted to signery
and stated that this was probably in need of revision. The Secretary noted that the
amendment for enclosed shopping malls limited signery in those establishments to
10% of wall area. He stated that the City should observe what the impact of that
ordinance amendment would be on signery. The Planner noted that one possible
rationale for generous wall sign provisions would be to discourage use of
freestanding signs which may be considered more obnoxious. The Secretary
acknowledged that this was a possible justification for the 30% provision, but that
it was generally felt that this provision should be reviewed and probably reduced.
The Secretary noted that the City has a survey of other sign ordinances that is about
5 years old that can be consulted.
Commissioner Ainas stated that he felt the portion of the Sign Ordinance relating to
portable signs lacked clarity. He asked how a truck with a sign painted on it parked
on someone's property to act as a sign would be treated. The Secretary noted the
example of a van for Sharpcuts in Westbrook Mall that had been parked in front of
Westbrook Mall advertising the price of haircuts for some time. He stated that such
signs were very difficult to deal with and that, to prohibit such signs, might be
considered a violation of the freedom of speech. Commissioner Ainas also cited an
example of a dog on a leash the previous summer that was walking up and down 63rd
Avenue North with a garage sale sign on its back. He stated that he felt this was
really a portable sign. There followed a discussion of enforcement of the Sign
Ordinance.
1 -30 -86 -4-
The Secretary, in reviewing basic issues to be looked at, stated that he hoped the
City would continue to ban billboards. He asked the Commission if they had other
concerns. Commissioner Ainas stated that he would just as soon leave the Sign
Ordinance alone except for the provisions related to portable signs. Commissioner
Nelson asked what kinds of complaints the staff encounters regarding the ordinance
and whether they had to do with temporary signs. The Secretary responded in the
affirmative. He stated that Administrative Permits for promotions often become a
bone of contention with private businesses who want to have more promotions and
longer promotions than allowed by City ordinance. He also noted that many
buildings wish to put space for lease banners up which are not permitted except by an
Administrative Land Use Permit.
Commissioner Nelson stated that he had two basic comments regarding the Sign
Ordinance: one had to do with the number of sizes allowed in the ordinance. He
stated that fewer sizes should be listed as possibilities in the Sign Ordinance. He
also stated that there seemed to be a lack of enforcement, especially regarding real
estate signs for open houses. He noted that he lived on a corner lot and that his
property was often used to put real estate signs up without his permission. The
Secretary acknowledged these comments and noted that there are many types of real
estate signs allowed under the ordinance which may all be different sizes. He
stated that the purpose of the ordinance should perhaps be limited to regulating the
size and the height and the appearance of such signs and whether they are
freestanding or wall signs, rather than being too concerned about the message.
Commissioner Wallerstedt asked how judgments were made as to whether Administrative
Land Use Permits could be issued or not. The Secretary stated that those judgments
were made administratively. He stated that in some cases there were variances from
City ordinances implied by the issuance of an Administrative Land Use Permit, but
that this is allowed for under the ordinance as long as traffic safety and other
basic concerns are met.
ADJOURNMENT
Following a brief discussion of upcoming business, there was a motion by
Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Wallerstedt to adjourn the meeting of
the Planning Commission. The motion passed unanimously. The Planning Commission
adjourned at 9 :05 p.m.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 86002
Applicant: Dan Baker
Location: 4701 63rd Avenue North
Request: Preliminary Plat
The applicant requests preliminary plat approval to subdivide into two lots the parcel
of land at the southwest corner of Noble Avenue North and 63rd Avenue North. The
property in question is zoned R1 and is bounded on the north by 63rd Avenue North, on
the east by Noble Avenue North and on the south and west by Orchard Lane School. There
is an existing single - family home on the property facing 63rd Avenue North although
set back over 100' from the 63rd Avenue North right -of -way.
Both lots in the proposed subdivision exceed ordinance requirements for lot area,
frontage and depth. Lot 1, the corner lot, is 137' along 63rd by 175' along Noble,
(90' is the ordinance minimum) with a total lot area of 23,969 sq. ft. (the ordinance
minimum is 10,500 sq. ft.). Lot 2 has a frontage of 88.5' (75' is the minimum) and a
lot area of 12,099 sq..ft. (the minimum is 9,500 sq. ft.). The existing home is set
30' north of the common boundary of the two lots. The proposed legal description is
Lots 1 and 2 of Block 1, Panayotoff Addition. The existing legal description is a
metes and bounds description of a portion of Section 33, Township 119, Range 21,
Hennepin i
p n County, Minnesota.
The proposed plat indicates the existence of an 8' wide sidewalk easement along the
north side of Lot 1 along 63rd Avenue North. No utility service as -built information
is available. It may be that no separate service lines were provided to the area now
to be designated Lot 2 (the vacant southerly lot.). A standard 5' drainage and utility
easement along the rear (west side) of.both lots would probably be in order.
Altogether, the plat appears to be in order. Approval is recommended, subject to at
least the following conditions:
1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City
Ordinances.
3. The preliminary plat shall be revised to indicate a 5' wide drainage
and utility easement along the west side of the plat.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 86003
Applicant: Nornandale Tennis Clubs, Inc.
Location: Lakebreeze Avenue North
Request: Site Plan /Special Use Permit
The applicant requests site plan and special use permit approval to construct an off -
site accessory parking lot on the north side of Lakebreeze Avenue North to serve the
Highway 100 Racquet and Swim Club on the south side of Lakebreeze. The lot is to be
located on a vacant I -2 zoned parcel bounded by the Joslyn Manufacturing site on the
north, by Dale Tile on the east, by Lakebreeze Avenue on the south, and by Davies
Water Equipment Company on the west. Off -site accessory parking by a C2 use (the
athletic club) is permitted on I -2 zoned property, provided the off -site lot is not
located across a najor thoroughfare from the principal use and the furthest point of
the off -site lot is less than 800' from the principal use. These criteria are met
in this case.
The proposed off -site lot is to have 119 parking stalls. The site will also have a
capacity for 54 additional stalls. Because the applicant wishes to remodel the
storage area in the lower level of the multi- purpose building (with gym on upper
floor) with more nautilus workout area, the parking requirement for the complex will
rise from 352 spaces to 366 spaces. There are 262 spaces on the existing site. 104
spaces are, therefore, needed to meet
the
parking ng requirement. With 1.19 stalls
the
Proposed off -site lot will

site lot will el' q
eliminate the .need for
a parking ramp on the principal site.
Previously, the applicant entered into an agreement with the City to build a single-
level parking ramp with 105 parking stalls as an assurance of meeting the parking
requirement for the club complex.
On the east side of the parcel in question, the City intends to acquire adequate
right -of -way to someday install a public street leading from Lakebreeze Avenue to
the Joslyn Manufacturing site. The proposed parking lot will be set far enough
westward on the site to allow for the 60' wide right -of -way and required 15' wide
greenstrips on either side. Replatting of the property to convey the right -of -way
will be pursued later at the initiative of the City.
The landscape plan for the parking lot site calls for new trees and shrubs along the
east and south sides. Along the north and west sides'of the site, the plan calls
for simply saving existing trees. The north side of the site is reserved for future
expansion of the parking lot. The west side is low and must renain so for drainage
purposes. In terns of quantities, the site plan calls for 12 deciduous trees (Ash,
Maple), 15 coniferOLIS trees (Colorado Blue and Black Hills Spruce) and 70 shrubs
(Juniper and Winged cuonymus).
The drainage plan calls for overland drainage to an opening in the curb along the
southwest side of the lot and from.there into a holding area at the southwest corner
of the site. A 12" dianeter storm sewer outlet will drain this basin into the City
storm sewer system in Lakebreeze Avenue. The plan calls for two parking delineators
at the south end of the interior rows of parking,stalls. The north end would be
delineated simply by striping. City Ordinance requires that the northerly delineators
also be concrete and bounded by 8612 curb and gutter. A condition of approval is
recommended to require revision of the plans to provide concrete delineators.
1 -30 -86 1-
Application No. 86003 continued
The City Engineer has expressed a concern that a convenient access be provided on the
site for City utility vehicles to reach a lift station in the Lakebreeze Avenue right-
of -way at the southeast corner of what will eventually become the parking lot site.
He will be prepared to comment further on a means to achieve such an access at Thurs-
day's meeting. 1 0
As to the special use standards contained in Section 35 -220 (attached), staff feel
the standards are clearly met in this case. The proposed parking lot is to be located
between two industrial establishments which operate under a more intense zoning clas-
sification. The parking lot will allow for future access to be provided to the Joslyn
Manufacturing site which will facilitate a redevelopment of that property. And, the
lot will provide needed parking for the tennis club which should decrease the likeli-
hood of cars parking on Lakebreeze Avenue. It, therefore, provides a traffic benefit.
In general, the proposal appears to be in order and approval is recommended, subject
to at least-the following conditions
1. Grading, drainage, utility and berming plans are subject to review and
approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of permits for the
lower level of the multi- purpose building.
2. 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:
3. An underground irrigation system shall be installed in all landscaped
areas to facilitate site maintenance.
4. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and driving
areas.
5. Special use permit approval is subject to all applicable codes, ordi-
nances, and regulations.
6. The applicant shall revise the plans, prior to consideration by the
City Council, to indicate concrete delineators at the north end of the
interior rows of parking.
