PERFORMANCE BOND FORECL FOR BROOKDALE OFFICE TOWER, 2810 COUNTY ROAD 10
oun� cilmember �o ka inquired why the bond on the 3rroo d�al.e O fice o er was being
foreclosed at such a late date. The Planning Director stated that the foreclosure
is the only way the City could assure that the improvements would be completed. He
added that there is no good answer for why it is taking so long to come to the point of
foreclosure, but he noted that there have been certain problems with regard to this
property over the years, including changes in ownership. Councilmember Lhotka
stated that he would like to know if there are any more performance bonds outstanding
for similar lengths of time. The City Manager explained that approximately two
years ago the staff tried to bring all the performance bonds up-to- date. He
explained that this had not been done in the past and had resulted in a number of •
bonds remaining outstanding for a number of years. He explained that the staff
keeps all the current performance bonds up-to -date. The Director of Planning &
Inspection explained the procedure for monitoring performance bonds, which
consisted of presenting a status report on the required 'improvements to the
• developer at the time the project is complete. He noted it is the contractor's
responsibility to notify the City when the items comprehended by the performance
bond are completed.
Councilmember.Lhotka asked what the cost of foreclosing a performance bond would be,
and also commented that he believes the City should have a stated policy on existing
performance bonds. The Director of Planning & Inspection stated that he does not
think the City has a problem, in terms of monitoring and keeping up-to -date on
performance bonds issued from 1977 to the present time.
The City Manager stated that the staff will conduct an evaluation-examining the
possibilities of foreclosing on existing outstanding performance bonds. He stated
that this staff report.would be presented to the City Council.
The City Attorney commented that the chances of collecting on the performance
guarantee for the Brookdale Office Tower is not good. He added that he plans to file
a claim with the Insurance Commissioner of the State of New York for the performance
bond. He added that he is filing the claim with the Insurance Commissioner since
the insurance company that issued the bond has since declared bankruptcy. He added
that, if the procedures required to collect on the bond are difficult or time.
6 -27 -83 -2-
consuming, he would probably recommend that the issue be dropped. Councilmember
Theis inquired whether there was anything wrong with the procedures used on
• performance bonds. The City Attorney stated that, in this case, the insurance
company that originally issued the bond went bankrupt, and that this is why a claim
must be filed with the Insurance Commissioner.
There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to
authorize foreclosure on the performance guarantee, in the amount of $7,500, on the
Brookdale Office Tower, 2810 County Road 10. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist,

RESOL
The City Manager introduced a Resolution Accepting Bid and Approving Contract 1983-
H (51 st Avenue North Water Main Improvement Project No. 1982 -07) . He explained the
bids on the project were opened this morning and that the bids received were under
the project estimates
Council-member Scott inquired how much of the project cost would be assessed and how
much would be paid by the City. The Director of Public Works explained that this
would be a decision the Council must make during the required assessment hearings
but that he would recommend recovery by the City of all project costs. He pointed
out that, some of the property in the project area is vacant, and that there will
probably be a number of objections to any assessments on this property.
Councilmember Lhotka commented on the request by Mr. Dick Kruse regarding the
provision of sanitary sewer to his home, and inquired why the City would not be able
to construct both a waterNmain and sanitary sewer in the area. The Director of
Public Works stated that the City could install a sanitary sewer but that the cost of
installation for the sewer would be considerably'more than for the water main. He
pointed out the problem has been that other property owners in the area are opposed
to the project. 'Councilmember Lhotka suggested that item 9a be held over for
discussion until later in the Council meeting. There was a general consensus of
Council members to hold item over until later in the meeting.
The City Manager introduced a Resolution Approving Agreement No. 16255 with MN /DOT
(Providing for Installation and maintenance of the Prance Avenue /Soo Line Railroad
Crossing).
Councilmember Hawes inquired whether federal funds are available for the project.
The Director of Public Works stated that federal funds are available and that the
City's share of the project would be 10%. Councilmember Hawes then asked if there
was any penalty for the contractor if the project was not completed on time. The
Director of Public Works explained that there was no penalty built into the
contract: Councilmember Hawes commented that he believes the project would be a
considerable traffic inconvenience for the neighborhood. The Director of Public
Works stated that he does not believe the City could request MN /DOT'to impose a
penalty on the railroad, although, the City could use every leverage it has on MN /DOT
to assure the contract is completed promptly.
Mayor Nyquist stated that, he has a problem with the project, based on the fact that
the project was considered not on its own merits.but because federal funds are
i available for the project. The Director of Public Works expressed a concern over
what would happen if the project is not completed and the area deteriorated.- He
6 -27 -83 -3_
pointed out that the availability of federal Hands in the future for this type of
project is uncertain.
Councilmember Theis inquired how long the existing crossing would last. The
Director of Public Works stated, that with normal maintenance the existing crossing
could, remain serviceable for 5 to 10 years. He added that with the new crossing the
life expectancy should be 20 to 25 years.

The Director of Planning & Inspection presented and reviewed for Council members
pages one and two of the June 16, 1983 Planning Commission meeting minutes, and also
the Planning Commission information sheet prepared for Application No. 83022. He
proceeded to review the site plan of the proposed addition and noted that the concern
of the staff, with regard to the application, is with the expansion and the effect it
may have on the food and liquor ratio requirements of the City's liquor ordinance.
He explained that the receipts for food and liquor have run about 56% to 58% for food
to 42% to 44% for liquor over the last three years.
The Director of Planning& Inspection explained that the applicant has submitted a
revised floor plan showing 150 seats in the dining area.. He noted that 150 dining
area is the minimum amount of seating required under the City's liquor ordinance.
The Director of Planning & Inspection explained that the Planning Commission
recommended approval of Application No. 83022 subject to three conditions which he
reviewed for Council members.
Mayor Nyquist expressed a concern over the food and _liquor ratio and raised .a
question with regard to what is being done to enhance the food sales. He noted -that
the application appears to focus on the enhancement of liquor sales. Mayor Nyquist
stated that he would like to go on record by advising the applicant, if the items
comprehended in this application cause the operation to go below the required ratio
of food and liquor sales, that perhaps the applicant should consider this aspect of
the application. He added that if the applicant dropped below the required food and
liquor sales ratio, the ordinance on the books should be enforced.
The Director of Planning &Inspection reviewed the revised floor- plan for Council
members,
6 -27 -83 -4-
Mayor Nyquist inquired whether the applicant wished to add anything with regard to
the application.
• Mr. Walter Francois, representing the applicant, Howard Johnson's, stated that he
would like to address Mayor Nyquist's concern with regard to the application.. Mr.
Francois stated that approximately 11% of the sales counted as liquor sales were
actually soft drink sales. He pointed out that their accounting system did not
differentiate between the liquor and soft drink sales He explained that there has
never been a problem in other communities with regard to similar requirements for a
food and liquor ratio. Mr. Francois stated that, if the ratio became aproblem, the
applicant would separate the soft drink sales from the liquor sales. Mr. Francois
commented on the required parking and stated that the 212 common parking stalls had
been reduced to 192 because concrete islands were constructed. The Director of
Planning &: Inspection commented that the parking in the area allows the Ground Round
to meet it's parking requirements as well as the Plitt Theatre. He noted that the
parking stalls are shared by the two businesses.. He added that he is not disputing
Mr. Francois' assertion.
Mr. Francois stated that the seating arrangements shown on the floor plan is
intended to show a pictoral presentation of seating requirements. He noted that,
most of the time some of the tables are joined together, and that the floor plan only
shows a representation of the total number of ° seats and not necessarily the
configuration of the seating. He added that, by changing the seating configuration
and joining tables together, the floor space can be increased while still
maintaining 151 dining seats with no more than 85 lounge seats.' He added that this
could be accomplished while maintaining the required: aisle space. Mr. Francois
stated that he would submit to the Council categorically that the 151 dining room
seats would be maintained with no more than 85 lounge seats.
Mr. Francois stated that the Ground Round Restaurants are undergoing a concept
change and that they are adding a sunroom to lighten up the interior atmosphere of
the restaurant. He explained that "the menus would also be changed and that the
dining room would be lightened up, including the floors and wood interior. He noted
that the stained glass windows would also be removed to lighten up the interior
atmosphere.
At the request of Councilmember Theis, the applicant explained the Ground Round's
accounting system whereby soft drink sales are included in with liquor sales.
There was a motion by Councilmember I,hotka and seconded by Councilmember Scott to

addressed Condition No. 2 of the Planning Commission's recommended conditions. He
stated that information he had obtained indicated that the necessary cost to comply
with Chapter 5 of the City ordinances would be $13, 500. He. stated that smoke
detectors are designed to protect sleeping people, and that the Maranatha Nursing
Home presents a different situation, since there are staff persons on duty at all
hours of the day. Mr. Wahl requested the deletion or modification of Condition No.
2 of the Planning Commission conditions, in light of the fact that the Fire Marshall
has approved the existing fire protection for the Maranatha Nursing Home:
The Director of Planning& Inspection stated that he would recommend smoke detectors
be installed for better fire protection. Mr. Wahl replied that he believes 24 hour
staff provide the best fire protection.
Councilmember Hawes inquired as to the number of staff persons on duty at night.
Mr. Wahl stated that there were eight staff people on duty during the midnight shift.
Councilmember Hawes stated that he was concerned that a fire could go unnoticed and
spread quickly if it was not immediately detected. The Director of Planning &
Inspection added that, if the nursing home were being built today, he believed that
sprinklers would be required for-construction. He also stated he believed that
smoke detectors would provide improved fire protection, and that the monitoring
company would be remote from the building, and would notify the fire department
apparatus rather than relying on nursing staff on duty who may have other duties
during an emergency.
Mayor Nyquist inquired if there was anyone else present who wished to speak at the
public hearing. No one appeared to speak and he entertained a motion to close the

its usage, to assess whether the existing program is the best approach to an Employee
Assistance Program. He added that the experience over the next year should provide
information with regard. to usage in an effort to determine what the best approach to
the project should be.
Councilmember Theis expressed a concern that perhaps the evaluation of the program
should be done before the next contract period. The City Manager stated that he was
concerned about the quality of any replacement program, and that the review over the
next contract period would provide adequate information to assess what may be the
best approach to providing the service.
There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
6 -27 -83 _9_
authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a contract with Cromer Management
Incorporated, to provide Employee Assistance Program services for the period July
1, 1983 to June 30, 1984. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Ihotka,
Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting against; none. The motion passed unanimously.
DISCUSSION Of 51ST . AVENUE NORTH WATER MAIN PROJECT
Councilmember hhotka stated that he is concerned with the individual living on 51 st
Avenue North who has a problem with his septic tank system. The Director of Public
Works stated, that the individual Councilmember Ihotka was referring to, is Mr.
Kruse who was at the meeting earlier but has since left. The Director of Public
Works explained-that Mr: Kruse had contacted the Assistant City Engineer concerning
what options are available to solve his sewer problem. He further explained that
Mr. Kruse!s house is situated in such a way that the site cannot hook —up to the
existing City system. He explained that Mr. Kruse has had trouble with his present
septic tank system, and that the Assistant City Engineer advised him of the options
that were available to him. He reviewed the first option, which was to build an on—
site disposal system. because of the poor soil conditions in

was doubtful whether an system could meet the state regulations. He added
that it would be up to Mr. Kruse to demonstrate he could meet the state regulations
with such a system.
He reviewed the second option, which was to install a grinder and pump on —site. He
explained the sewage would be pumped into a receiving well, through the grinder and
force pump and into the City sewer system. . The Director of Public Works stated that
Mr. Kruse was reluctant to go with this type of system. Councilmember Ihotka
inquired as to the cost of the grinder and pump system. The Director of Public Works
stated that the pump, receiving well, and force main would cost anywhere from $2, 000 •
to $5,000, not including interior plumbing.
The Director of Public Works next reviewed the third option reviewed with Mr. Kruse
which would be to petition the City to install a sanitary sewer. He then reviewed
the history of this request in the area along 51 st Avenue North, and pointed out that
the concept has not received any cooperation from any of the property owners in the
area. Council-member Ihotka then inquired what option three would cost. The
Director of Public Works stated that it would be necessary to build a lift station in
the area which would cost anywhere from $20, 000 to $30, 000, and added to this cost
would be the cost of a full length of main installation for a total cost of $49,000,
including the lift station:
The Director of Public Works reviewed the total cost of all potential improvements
in the area, including an estimated cost of $36,000 for a water main installation,
$49,000 for a sanitary sewer installation, $140,000 for a street construction, and
$6,150 for a storm sewer construction. He explained the total cost of all these
improvements was $231,000. He added that the staff is recommending only the
installation of a water'main along 51 st Avenue North. He stated the recommendation
is based on the cost of the improvements and the non - cooperation of other property
owners in the area.
Council-member Theis referred to_the Resolution Accepting the Bid for the Water Main
Improvement and inquired whether the legal and bonding cost should be zero as,
indicated in the resolution. The Director of Public Works stated that this was a
typographical error in the resolution, and that the cost should indicate $5,000 to
reflect the cost of obtaining the easement.
6, -27 -83 -10-
Councilmember Hawes stated that he was concerned about the deferred assessments for
the water main improvement project. The Director of Public Works explained that
the Council would have to make a decision whether to defer or to assess immediately
at the time of assessment hearings. The City Manager commented that the problem
along 51st is typical of those experienced at the -end of water and sewer systems.
RESOLUTION 83-91
Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BID AND APPROVING CONTRACT 1983 -H (51ST AVENUE NORTH WATER

The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member
Celia Scott, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor
thereof: Dean Nyquist, Gene Lhotka, Celia Scott, and Rich Theis; and the following
voted against the same: Bill Hawes, whereupon said resolution was declared duly
passed and adopted.
LICENSES
Councilmember Hawes commented that he had noticed that an electronic game had been
placed by Advance Carter at Denny's Restaurant, Brooklyn Center. He had inquired
whether Denny's was responsible to notify the City of the placement of game. The 4
Director of Planning & Inspection indicated that apparently Denny's overlooked
reporting the machine and explained that it is the responsibility of the restaurant
to report the placement. Councilmember Hawes commented that, since Advance Carter
does substantial business, with regard to video games, in the City of Brooklyn
• Center, they should have been aware of this requirement. He suggested that a letter
of reprimand be sent to Advance Carter with regard to their non- notification of the
City.

RE: final Plat of. Earle Brown Farm Estates Fifth Addition
(Planning Commission Application No. 83025)
Mr. John DeVries has petitioned the City to final the referenced plat. The
following conditions were placed on the plat by.the City Council at its June
27, 1983, meeting:
1. The final lat is subject to review and approval'by the City Engineer.
p J
2. The final plat is subject to 'the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City
Ordinances.
3. The Fifth Addition. shall be governe&by the same Homeowners' Association
and bylaws as in effect for the previous phase of the Earle Brown Farm
Estates. Homeowners' Association agreements and bylaws are subject to
review by the City Attorney prior to final plat approval.
At this writing, the City Attorney has not received the annexation documents
re
development, and Cit
wired• however, such documents are standard far this y
q
Council approval may be granted contingent upon staff review and approval.
The City Attorney has received the fully updated Abstract of Title as required
by Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances. Upon review of the Abstract, it has been
determined that the developer has yet to pay a substantial portion of the 1982
and 1983 taxes ($4,619.48 and $5,912.22 respectively). In accordance with
Section 15 -105B of the City Ordinances, the developer must provide certification
showing that all taxes currently due on the property to be subdivided have been
paid in full. In consideration of the above it is recommended that the City
Council approve the plat contingent upon receipt of the necessary certification.
In summary, it is recommended the City Council approve the final plat contingent
upon
1. Receipt and approval of the Homeowners' Association Annexation documents
by the City Attorney
2. Receipt of certification that all taxes currently due on-the property
' to be subdivided have been paid in full.

RE: Bids Received for Civic Center HVAC Improvements
On July 14, we received and opened the following bids (informal quotations
complying to Minnesota Statutes) for revisions to the swimming pool ventila-
tion in the Civic Center HVAC system:
Bidder Quotation
Egan & Sons Air Conditioning Co.' $31,120.00
• Hoov- Aire, Inc. 23,300.00
Modern Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc 26,890.00
Rouse Mechanical, Inc. 15,840.00*
*Deduct $850.00 if cutting and patching by others
The following is a comparison of the total costs as estimated on March 28 to
our current estimate of total costs:
As Approved Current
on 3/28/83 Cost Estimate
Furnish Equipment ) - $11,965.00
Install Equipment ) $23,000.00 14,990.00
Repair Ceiling 1,000.00
Engineering Services 5,000.00 5,000.00
Total $28,000.00 $32,955.00
The increased costs are the result of several factors:
1. After detailed investigation of the conditions prevalent in the.Civic
Center HVAC system, our consulting engineer recommended that the coils '
• be coated with a special coating material to ensure their ability to
survive the corrosive atmosphere created•by_chlorine used in the swim-
ming pool. This added approximately $1,500 to the equipment costs.

Memo to Gerald G. Splinter RE: Bids for Civic Center HVAC Improvements
Page 2
2. Our consulting engineer now advises that-his original estimate did not
include monies for associated electrical wiring and temperature control
modifications which were later found to-be needed in order to comply
to the building and fire codes. These costs-total approximately $2,500.
3. Our consulting engineer now also advises that his original estimate did
not include the costslnvolved in cutting out and replacing the ceiling
as necessary to allow removal of the old equipment and installation of
the new equipment.
We now plan to have our buildings and grounds crew.accomplish the necessary
ceiling removal. However, we will need to hire a professional plasterer
to restore the ceiling at an estimated cost of $1,000.
Despite the higher than anticipated costs for this project, I recommend that we
now accept the low bid for installation of this equipment. A resolution for
this purpose is submitted for consideration by the City Council. Please note
that the resolution provides.for funding the additional cost by means of a trans-
fer from the Unallocated Departmental Expense Contingency.

M EMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Director of Finance
DATE: July 8, 1983
SUBJECT POINT OF SALE TERMINAL PROPOSALS
I have attached a resolution which, if adopted by the City Council, will award
contracts for point of sale terminals (electronic.cash registers) to be used in
the City Clerk's office and the Community Center. The award will be to Retail
Data Systems of Minnesota (RDS), formerly Minnesota Cash Register, in the total
amount of $9,.805.00. Requests for proposals were sent to vendors. Only
RDS responded with a proposal. I have attached a copy of the request and speci-
fications, as well as the proposals received.
Both the registers were included in the 1983 Budget. The register for the Clerk's
office was budgeted at $5,000.00 and the proposal is for $5,190.00. The register
for the'Community Center was budgeted for $4,800.00 and the proposal is for
$4,615.00. I recommend that we accept moth proposals.
If the proposals are accepted, it will be necessary to transfer budget apprdpria-
tions within the Budget. This is necessary because, in May, we were able to
purchase an electronic cash - register from RDS for $995.00, which we use for re-
cording swimming admissions only. That was a control device that we had been asking
cash register suppliers to provide ever since we opened the Community Center. The
register had to be fast to accomodate long lines of swimmers and it had to record
both paid admissions and members' use. It became available this year when RDS
was able to design one for us, so we purchased it out of the Community Center appro-
priation for the all- purpose register. Therefore, if we are to accept the proposal
for the Community Center register, it will be necessary to transfer an appropriation
Of $810.00 from the Community Center Equipment Repair Budget to the Recreation and
Parks Administration Capital Outlay Budget. The attached resolution will allow me
to make the necessary transfer. Funds are available for the transfer.

handicapped.

APPLICATION NO 8 3029 (Wes' Sta ndard
The Secretary then introduced the next item of business, a request for special
use permit to sell groceries at the gas station at 6044 Brooklyn Boulevard. The
Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Commission In-
formation Sheet for Application No. 83029 and also addendum for the same appli
cation attached). The Secretary'also briefly reviewed with Planning Commission
the possible layout of parking.stalls around the site in order to meet the re-
quirement of 23 parking stalls. He noted a discrepancy between the site sketch
that fir. 'Reavely had submitted and an architectural drawing made about 10 years.
previously for the car wash addition. He stated that this is one of the reasons
the Planning Commission should have an accurate, rofessionall drawn plan. The
P Y p
Secretary also noted that the establishment must meet the requirements of the
Health Inspector in order to obtain a food establishment license and a special
handler's license for the sal of various food items. He added that no such
licenses have been granted to the operation, therefore, no retail sales of food'
of any kind can be done on the premises until the licenses and special use permit
are obtained.
Commissioner Simmons stated that it should be easy for customers to get in and out
of the parking stalls. She suggested that the out -of -the way stalls be reserved
for employee parking only. The Secretary agreed and pointed out certain areas
where employees should probably park and other areas where customers would be able
to park.- Commissioner Simmons stated that when there isn't enough parking, it is
a real problem trying to maneuver within a small lot such as this. She stated that
the site plan should be carefully thought out and provide generous parking. She
recommended that all of the required stalls be put in and that no proof - of- parking
be approved,
Chairman Lucht then asked the applicant whether he had anything to say. fir. Reavely
began by saying that he felt like an accused criminal, but acknowledged bringing
in items for retail sale before obtaining the necessary license and permit. He
asked what the term proof -of- parking meant. "The Secretary explained that proof _ of
parking is when a plan shows that there.is room on the site for the required parking
stalls, but they may not necessarily be installed. Mr. Reavely stated that he had
drawn the site sketch from directions given ' - him by fir. �larren.as to parking stall
size. He stated that most of the traffic etering his station is coming from the
south and that there would be no problem with the angle parking stalls on the north
side of the site. He went over the sketch he had prepared showing the various
parking stalls including some parallel stalls behind the building and along the
north side of the site which he said were 20' in length. He stated that he did not
understand the necessi of 24' wide driving lanes. He also asserted that parking
at the gas- pumps would have to be counted because 90% of his sales would probably
be to gas customers.
Commi ssioner Simmons pointed to parking stalls No. 12 and 13 on the site sketch
and asked how the cars parked would have to get out. 11r. Reavely acknowledged
that at least.one would probably have to head in the direction of the car wash,
but he stated that this was an area where employees would park. There followed
a lengthy discussion regarding the various parking stalls and how people would
be able to make use of the stalls.
Commissioner Simmons asked r1r. Reavely about moving curbs and providing all of
the parking required under the ordinance. Mr. Reavely stated that he felt the
parking spaces are on the site already. He argued than the Secretary only assumes
that the measurements are inaccurate. He challenged the Secretary to come to the
site and check his measurements.. Chairman Lucht stated that the accuracy of the
measurements could not be verified based on the sketch that was presented to the
Planning Commission. He stated that the Planning Commission regularly requires
accurate drawings.. Mr. Reavely then explained how he had obtained some of his
measurements. The Planning Assistant t ex a'
1 in
p ed that the mode of operation ton whe
n
6-30-83 -4-
-the Planning Commission considers site plan applications is to have a professionally
drawn site plan with accurate measurements. He stated that such plans should be
developed by professional architects - or engineers who are trained to 'develop accurate
•
drawings and should not be roughly drawn plans with no accurate scale.
Mr. Reavely asked the Commission to make a recommendation rather than table the
matter so that he could o to the City Council with his plan as submitted. Chairman
9 Y P
Lucht asked for a recommendation from the Secretary. The Secretary stated that he
did not feel the Planning Commission could make a proper decision on the application
without an accurately drawn site plan. He recommended that the Planning Commission
table the application and direct the applicant to-submit a professionally drawn plan
to verify that the required parking can be provided on the site. Mr. Reavely com-
plained that he felt that his integrity had been challenged and that he had been
called a liar by the Secretary.. He asked the Chairman what the action of the Planning
Commission would be. Chairman Lucht stated that he felt the Planning Commission would
probably table the application as recommended by the staff. Mr. Reavely resigned
himself to the action of the Planning-Commission and walked out of the Council Chambers.
ACTION RECOMMENDING CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING
APPLICATION NO. 83029 (tiles' Standard)
Following a brief discussion of the procedures in handling the application, there
was a motion by Commissioner Simmons seconded by Commissioner Hanson to continue
the public hearing. The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Simmons asked whether the Planning Commission had to,take any action
regarding the sale of food at the premises. The Secretary stated that the staff
would pursue that matter through the Sanitarian and the Police Department.
Chairman Lucht asked whether cars parked at the gas pumps could be considered as
some of the parking stalls required by the ordinance. The Secretary answered that
realistically he understood that a number of the customers would be gas customers
also, but he pointed out that the ordinance specifically requires parking based on
two separate parking formulas, one for service stations and another for retail uses
and that pump island parking has not been considered as meeting these requirements.
He explained that it was his understanding that the case involving the Super America
at 57th and Logan resulted in the City adopting requirements for parking based on
the two specific ordinance formulas. He also noted that tandem parking is not
acknowledged by the Zoning Ordinance as meeting parking requirements
Commissioner Simmons stated that she felt all required parking should be installed,
especially in light of the fact that a number of the stalls would not really be
evident to people coming into the station. Commissioner Sandstrom stated that he
felt the situation was different.from a Super Valu store or other large retail
operations in that people are getting gas at the same time they may be getting
other food items. Commissioner Simmons countered that quite often people will
get gas and go into the store and chit -chat with their friends for awhile and get,
something to drink and`that this results in a parking problem. The Secretary
pointed out'that the gas station in question was on Brooklyn Boulevard which is a
heavily traveled street. He stated that congestion on the lot could easily back

- the case of the Super America station at 57th and Logan. He also pointed out that
- the Planning Commission could not control the number of goods that would be in the
store after a special use permit is granted. He explained that Mr. Reavely could
expand the area used for selling groceries and sell a wide array of items which
.are not presently being Commissioner•Ainas agreed and pointed to
the Holiday Station on Brooklyn Boulevard in Brooklyn Park. He stated that this station presents problems and that he did not want Wes' Standard to present the
same kind of problem in Brooklyn Center.

APPLICATION NO. 83030 (Brutger Companies, Inc.
The Secretary then introduced the next item of business, a request for preliminary
plat approval to subdivide into 32 townhouse lots and one common lot, the parcel of
land at the northwest corner of Dupont Avenue North and North Lilac Drive. The
Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Commission Informa-
tion Sheet for Application No. 83030 attached). The Assistant City Engineer added
that the plat shows that the outside walls of the townhouse units will coincide with
the property lines and that there will be no extra yard area within a townhouse lot.
The Secretary also added that the final plat would not have to be filed prior to
issuance of building permits, although the plat for the Brookwood Residences did.
have to be filed prior to the issuance of building permits.
Commissioner Manson asked'whether this plat would change the legal description
of the other two lots in the Brookwood Residences Addition. The Secretary responded
in the negative.
Chairman Lucht then asked the applicant whether he had anything to add. Mr. Tom
Johnson of Brutger Companies, Inc.. stated that he had nothing to add to the
presentation.- Commissioner Sandstrom asked why there would be only one handicapped
unit in the townhouse unit. The Secretary pointed out that there would be two
handicapped townhouse units, one in each of the Building G's.

A PPLICATION N0. 83031 (Brookdale Car Wash)
The Secretary then introduced the next item of business; a.request for site and
building plan and special use permit approval to expand the car wash at 5500
Brooklyn Boulevard. The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report'
(see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 83031 attached).
Commissioner Sandstrom asked whether any gas being aken out at the
pumps p s were
car wash: The Secretary responded in the negative and p 9 pointed out the location
of the gas pumps
'Chairman Lucht then called on the applicant to speak. Mr. Steve Graham, the owner
of Brookdale Car Wash, stated that he was ready to comply with the City's requirements.
However, he asked whether variances have ever been granted from the fire sprinkler
requirements. The Secretary responded that he was not aware that any variances
have ever been granted. Mr. Graham stated that he did not feel that he really
needs a fire sprinkling system in his car wash. Chairman Lucht stated that fire
sprinkling is something that has been required.of many other businesses. Mr. Graham
pointed out that there are a number of other large car washes in the metro area with
which he has to compete and which do not have fire sprinkling apparatus.
The Secretary pointed ourt that the State Building Code has been amended to re-
quire sprinkling in all commercial and industrial buildings over 3,000 sq. ft.,
but that this requirement is optional if adopted by a local community. The Secretary
also pointed out that there are other possibilities for fire besides during working
hours when the water would be flowing in the car wash. He also noted that a fire
sprinkling system allows a greater response time for the Fire Department to contain
a fire. Mr. Graham stated that he could close down his car wash for three days and
that his car wash bay would still be damp. He stated that he could understand the
requirement for sprinkling office areas and storage areas, but he added that he felt
it was a waste of money to sprinkle the car wash area. He stated that this require-
ment affected his competitiveness with other car washes and stated that he would like
an exemption from having to sprinkle the car wash area.
Commissioner Ainas noted that people often say roughly the same thing about bath-
rooms, he pointed out, there are combustible materials within bathrooms and
within car wash bays as well. He stated that these combustible materials are
always present, even when the car wash is shut down. The Secretary concluded by
saying that the applicant did have a right to submit a variance request. He added,
however, that he thought the likelihood its being approved was fairly slim.
Mr. Graham asked about the condition regarding signery. The Secretary explained
that the Planning Commission was not disallowing the signery, but only excluding
it from its action of approval. He explained that the sign appeared to be within
the limits of the Sign Ordinance and explained that a sign permit could be granted
for the sign apart from any Planning- Commission or City Council approval
Commissioner Sandstrom asked whether the State Building Code regulations do not
supersede the City regulations. Commissioner Ai -nas stated that the City regulations
can supersede if they are more stringent. Commissioner Sandstrom stated that the
Bermel Smaby building on Brooklyn Boulevard is an 8,500 sq. ft. building that
cannot burn and yet it is sprinklered. The Secretary explained that fire sprinkling
is required as part of the City's Fire Code, not under the Building Code. He ex-
plained that the State Building Code had been amended to allow Cities to adopt a .
requirement for fire sprinklers in commercial and industrial buildings over 3,000 sq. ft.

Application No. 83026
Applicant: Howe, Inc.
Location: 4821 Xerxes Avenue North
• Request: Site Plan Approval
The applicant requests site plan approval to install 14 parking spaces at the north
east corner of the newly-platted Howe, Inc. site at 4821 Xerxes Avenue North (See
Application No. 83027). The land in question is zoned I -2 and is bounded on the
north by 49th Avenue North, on the east by Brooklyn Boulevard, on the south by
the Soo Line tracks, and on the west by single- family residences.
The proposed parking stalls were alluded to in Application No. 83018, a request
for a variance from Section 35 -700 of the Zoning Ordinance to allow less than
a 15' greenstrip from the right -of -way line of Brooklyn Boulevard. These parking
spaces were also central to Application No. 83001 which was an appeal from a
determination by staff that expansion of the Howe site would be contrary to Section
35 -111 of the Zoning Ordinance regarding nonconforming uses. As the Commission
will recall, that appeal was resolved when Hove, Inc. and the City entered into
an agreement which stipulated, among other things, that the additional parking
spaces would not serve as grounds for expanding the manufacture of fertilizer
at the plant, and that the additional stalls would serve to reduce the parking
variance granted in 1979 rather than allow other spaces to now be used as storage
area.
As was mentioned earlier, the proposed stalls are to be located less than 15' from
the Brooklyn Boulevard right -of -way, No variance has been sought from the setback
• and buffer strip' adjacent to 49th Avenue North. When I -1 or I -2 uses abut Rl, R2,
or R3 uses at a street line, as is the case here,. a 50' buffer strip is required along
with an 8' high opaque fence or wall. The p.roposed site plan provides for such
a 50' *wide buffer strip and for a 4' high privacy fence on top of a 3' high berm.
Absent a request. for a variance from the screening requirement or a finding
by the Planning Commission and City Council that the proposed screening meets
the intent of the ordinance, we recommend that the applicant be required to
install at least. a 5' high fence.
The plan proposes that the buffer strip be landscaped with 3 Skyline Locust,
3 'Hughes Juniper and 8 Isanti Dogwoods. Underground irrigation is to be installed.
The fence is located approximately 35' south of the right -of -way line for 49th Avenue
North. South of the fence would be a 2' high railroad tie wall and an approximately
15' wide sodded area before the parking stalls. The stalls are protected by concrete
delineators and are to be bounded by B612 curb and gutter.
The plan is generally in order and approval is recommended subject to at least the
following conditions:
1. The applicant shall enter into a performance agreement with a
- supporting financial guarantee (in an amount to be determined
by the City Manager) prior to final plat approval.
2: Underground irrigation shall be provided in all landscaped
areas within the project.
• 3. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around the 14 parking
spaces proposed on the plan_.

4. A 5 high privacy fence shall be. deemed adequate screening if
placed atop the 3' berm to provide the required 8' of screening.
The plan shall be modified to indicate such a 5' high opaque
fence.
5. Plan -is subject to the provisions of the stipulation

lution of Application No. ' 83001.

Applicant: Howe, Inc.
Location:: 4821 Xerxes Avenue North
Request: Preliminary Plat
s
The applicant requests preliminary plat approval to combine into one parcel the
existing Howe, Inc. site and a parcel of land presently owned by the Highway
Department as right -of -way and access to Howe, Inca The applicant proposes to
use the extra land as an area for employee parking and to continue to use it for
access. The land in question is zoned I -2 and is bounded by 49th Avenue North
on the north, by Brooklyn Boulevard on the east, by the Soo Line Railroad on
the south, and by single- family residences on the west
The proposed legal description of the property is simply Lot 1, Block 1, Howe,
Inc. 2nd Addition. The parcel being added to the Howe site is 26,676 sq. ft. in
area and the total parcel is 4.79 acres in area. No easements are shown on the
plat (apparently none either exist or are proposed) .
The plat appears to be in order and approval is recommended subject to at least
the following conditions:
1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer.
2 The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the
City Ordinances.
3. Any existing easements shall be shown on the Preliminary

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No.83028
Applicant: Construction 70 /Kentucky Fried Chicken
Location; 5512 Brooklyn' Boulevard
• Request: Site and Building Plan, Special Use Permit
The applicant requests site and building plan and special use permit approval to
construct a drive -up window and attendant drive -up lane at the Kentucky Fried
Chicken restaurant at 5512 Brooklyn Boulevard. The lot in question is zoned C2
and is bounded by Farrell's . Ice Cream Parlor on the north, . by a private access
road on the east, by Brookdale Car Wash on the south, and by Brooklyn Boulevard
on the west. Kentucky Fried Chicken is classified as a convenience food restaurant
which is a special use in the C2 zone. Convenience food restaurants are not permitted
to abut Rl, R2 or R3 property at a property line 'or a street line. The land across
Brooklyn Boulevard is zoned Rl. However, the restriction has not been applied
across wide major thoroughfares and also the Comprehensive plan designates the land
across the street as having potential. for service- office development.
The proposed drive -up window is located on the south side of the restaurant. Access
to the drive -up would be gained from a driving lane ..along the north side of the
building and wrapping around the west side of the building to the south side. New
curb and gutter is to be installed north of the building to define the drive -up lane.
A 3' wide median east of the building separates drive -up traffic from the walk -in
traffic that parks on the south side of the lot. The median will be depressed at
the pedestrian crossing point to allow access to the handicapped. The northerly
access to the site will be enter -only and the southerly access will be widened to
allow both entrance and exit.
. One of the .difficulties with the plan is that the drive -up window causes pedestrians
to cross between cars waiting in the drive-up-lane and requires cars exiting the
drive -up lane to cross the path of other cars entering the site. While this is not
an optional situation, there seems to be no alternative on this site. At any rate,
.there does not seem to be any impact on traffic in the public streets.
Landscaping is proposed in planters around the west end of the building. Shrubs
will also be planted in a rock or bark chip mulch around the outside of the drive-
up lane. No planting types have been specified on the landscape schedule. A 5'
wide sidewalk is also planned along the north side of the building to help guide
drive -up traffic as well as provide for pedestrians. The dumpster enclosure will
be relocated from the southeast portion of the parking lot to an area immediately
east of the building.
Altogether, the plan is 'generally in order and approval is recommended subject to
at least the following conditions:
1. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building
Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of
permits.
2. 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. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical
equipment shall be appropriately screened from view.
4. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to
Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances.
5. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and
6 -30 -83 driving areas.
ADDENDUM
Application No. 83029"
Applicant: Wes' Standard
Location: 6044 Brooklyn Boulevard
Request: Special Use Permit
.We have received a site sketch prepared by the applicant showing 23 parking stalls
in various locations around the site. The site sketch is not a professionally drawn
plan and some of the stalls shown on it are very questionable. Nevertheless, it
appears there may be room on the site for up to the required 23 parking stalls
with some site alterations, but that these should be drawn on an accurate site plan
by a professional architect or engineer showing adequate driving lanes and proper
parking space dimensions which meet ordinance requirements. We, therefore,
recommend that the Commission table the application until such a plan is submitted.
.Another question the Commission will have to resolve is whether the parking spaces
will actually be installed and striped or whether some could be left as proof-of-
parking. It is staff's judgment, inasmuch as most of these stalls are already being
used, that the full 23 parking stalls should be installed and striped. This will
probably require the realignment of concrete curb in some areas. It does not
appear that any greenstrip variances would be necessary.
The applicant has informed us that he is already selling some convenience items at
the gas station. Our records indicate that no food establishment or special handler's
license has been issued to the applicant and this activity must cease until such a
license is obtained (ie. after the granting of the special use permit). Again, we
recommend that the matter be tabled until an appropriate plan is submitted in order
to verify that parking requirements can indeed be met.

Application No. 83°029
Applicant: Wes' Standard
Location: '6044 Brooklyn Boulevard
Request: Special Use Permit
The applicant requests a special use permit to sell groceries from the service
station at 6044 Brooklyn Boulevard. The property is zoned C2 and the sale or
vending . at gasoline service stations of items other than fuels, lubricants or
automotive parts and accessories (and other than the vending of soft drinks,
candy, cigarettes and other incidental -items for the convenience of customers
within the principal building) is allowed as a special use "provided adequate
parking is available consistent with Section 35 -704, 2(b) and 2(c)." The estab-
lishment is bounded by the Brookdale Manaor apartments on the north, east, and
south and by Brooklyn Boulevard on the west.. Across Brooklyn Boulevard are
an off ice building and an apartment building. Since service stations are allowed to
abut property zoned R4 or higher, there is no abutment problem.
Central to this application is the calculation of required parking. The ordinance
calls for parking consistent with Section 35 -704, 2(b) and 2(c). Section 35 -704,
2(b) deals with service stations and requires three spaces for each enclosed bay
plus one ace for each day hift employee lus a minimum of two aces for -
P space P P
service vehicles. There are two service bays and four employees on the day shift "
resulting in a requirement of 12 spaces. Section 35 -704, .2(c) deals with retail
sales and requires 11 spaces for the first 1,000 sq. ft. of floor space orany fraction
thereof. The area of the station excluding the service bays and the car wash is
approximately 1,000 sq. ft. and, therefore, requires 11 additional parking stalls
under the retail formula. We feel the entire front portion of the station should be
used in calculating parking requirements for retail space because that is essentially
how parking requirements have been calculated in similar situations. Also, of
course, the 11 stalls are required even if the retail area were only a few square
feet because the formula literally states: "11 spaces for the -first 1,000 square
feet o r fraction thereof.
The site presently has 12 parking stalls. No parking has been required for the
car wash, but adequare stacking space should be available. The applicant has
submitted no new parking plan and staff are convinced there is no reasonable way
of providing 11 additional parking stalls. That is, proper driving lanes and turn-
around areas could not be provided along with additional parking stalls. The
applicant has submitted no request for a variance from the parking requirements.
We cannot, therefore, recommend approval of the application.
The applicant also has not submitted any evidence that the Standards' for a
Special Use Permit (attached) can be met. We feel that failure to provide the
parking required by ordinance is one strong indication that the 'Standards for a
Special Use Permit are not all met, particularly Standard (d) which -requires that
"adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress, egress and
parking so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets." The
applicant has not shown that adequate parking can be provided. We, therefore,
recommend that the application be denied on the grounds that the Standards for
Special Use Permits ( particularly Standard d) are not met and that the required
parking for the use as stated in Section 35 -322, 3(b) cannot be accommodated on
the site.

Location: Lilac Drive and Dupont Avenue North
Request: Preliminary Plat
The applicant requests preliminary plat approval to subdivide into 32 townhouse lots
and one common area lot the parcel of land immediately, west of - Dupont Avenue North
and northwest of North Lilac ' Drive. The property is zoned R3 and is bounded by
I -94 on the north, by Dupont Avenue North on the east, by North Lilac Drive on
the southeast, and by the condominium parcel of the Brookwood Residences plat on
the southwest. The parcel in question is approximately 6.12 acres.
The existing legal description of the property is Lot 3, Block 1, Brookwood Resi-
dences Addition. The proposed new legal description is Lots 1 -33, Block 1, Brookwood
Townhouse Addition. Lot 1 is the common area lot and Lots 2 through 33 are the
townhouse lots. The townhouse lots include the residence, the detached garage,
and a small green area'in between, for each townhouse lot. The townhouse units
are grouped into clusters of six and four which are classified as Building "A"
(6 units with 4 double /2 single garages), Building °B" (4 units with 2 double /2
single garages) and Building "C" (6 units with 1 handicapped unit 2 double /4 single
garages) . There are two of each type of building The preliminary measurements
of each building type and unit are shown separately from the plat survey.

Applicant: Brookdale Car Wash
Location: 5500 Brookly - n Boulevard
Request: Site *a Building Plan, Special Use Permit
The applicant requests site and building plan and special use permit approval to
construct two additions to the Brookdale Car Wash at 5500 Brooklyn Boulevard.
The lot in question is zoned C2 and is bounded by Kentucky Fried Chicken on the
north, by a private access road on the east, by -55th Avenue North on the south,
and by Brooklyn Boulevard on the west.. Car washes are a. special use in the C2
zoning district and are not allowed to abut Rl, R2, or R3 zoned property at either
a property line'or a street line. The land across Brooklyn Boulevard is zoned
R2; however, abutment across a major thoroughfare the size of Brooklyn Boulevard
at this point has not been considered as abutment.
The purpose of the two additions is to add a new wax bay to the existirg car
wash and a storage room. The applicant also intends to remodel the roof line to
allow for placement of windows along the east and west walls, allowing more light
into the car wash. Rather than a flat roof, the remodeling may install slanted
sections that rise from the 11' 10" height of the existing roof on one side to a height
of 21' 6" at the point it meets the opposite wall. These roof sections would be
staggered with two larger sections facing west and three facing east.
The plan, as submitted, provides for a 24' addition to the north end of the building
and a 20' addition to the south end of the building. This will allow the building to
meet the required 35' setback off 55th. Avenue North.
The site plan proposes some slight modifications to curb delineators in -order to
adjust the traffic flow into the stacking area and into the entrance to the car" wash
at the south end of . the building. There- will also be a new paved area north of the
northerly addition to allow car's to be backed into the wax bay.. Total stacking on
the site is basically unaffected by the proposed, additions.
A private sanitary sewer line which presently runs north of the building will run
under the proposed northerly addition. The existing pipe will be replaced with cast
irdn pipe rather than relocated away from the building. Also; the building which is
presently not fire sprinklered will be equipped with a fire sprinkler system.
Altogether the plans are generally in order and Approval is recommended subject to
at least the following conditions:
1. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building
Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of
permits.
2, Grading, drainage, utility and berming plans are subject to review
and approval by the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of permits.

Mr. Berms then briefly addressed the Commission and stated that, after consulting with j
his architect, he had decided that it would be possible to reduce
the number of .units
to 21. There followed a discussion amongst the Planning Commission as to what action
to take at this point. It was decided that the best action would be to table the
application'-and ask for legal advice while, at the same time, directing the applicant
to prepare a plan with no more than 21 units.

Motion by Commissioner Simmons seconded by Commissioner Sandstrom to table Application
Nos. 83010 and 83017 and directing the developer to prepare a plan with no more than
21,townhouse units.
While the motion was on the floor, Commissioner Manson stated that although she had
voted to accept 24 units at the previous meeting, and while the plan had been changed
for the better, she had changed her mind and would also vote for limiting the new
project to 21 units.

A PPLICATION NO. 83018 (Howe, Inc.
The Secretary then introduced the next item of business, a request for a variance
from Section 35 -700 of the Zoning Ordinance to allow_a 5' wide greenstrip adjacent
to Brooklyn Boulevard, south of 49th Avenue North. The Secretary reviewed the
contents of the staff report (See Planning Commission Information Sheet for Appli-
cation No. 83018 attached). The Secretary reviewed with the Planning Commission a
survey the proposed right -of -way lines at the intersection of 49th Avenue North
and Brooklyn Boulevard. He explained that the right -of -way line for 49th would be a
continuation of the right -of -way line on the east side of Brooklyn Boulevard, and
that the right -of -way line for Brooklyn Boulevard would lie roughly at the bottom
of the slope where the street began its ascent over the Soo Line Railroad tracks.
He-explained that Howe, Inc. does not wish to buy the land in question without a
variance being granted. He suggested that the Planning Commission could table
the application with an indication to the applicant as to how it would vote on
the and wait for a site plan and preliminary plat to catch up with the
variance.
Chairman Lucht then called on the applicant to speak. Mr. Tom Howe explained ,
that the variance was needed to provide parking and a turning lane to the scale
behind the office building. He stated that he would like the Planning Commission
to act on the variance tonight, but that the application would not have to go to
the City Council until a preliminary plat and site plan had been acted on. There
followed a discussion as to how to act on the variance application.
PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman Lucht then opened the meeting for a public hearing. Mr. Tom Howe noted
that Mr. Leo Hanson and Mr. Larry Butler had previously been at the meeting to
express some concern about the variance since they thought it was from the buffer
strip adjacent to 49th Avenue North. He stated that he showed the plan to Mr. Hanson
and Mr. Butler and explained that the variance was from the greenstrip adjacent to
Brooklyn Bouevard rather than 49th Avenue North. He stated that, when the two had
seen what the variance was about, they were content and left the meeting.

hlotion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Manson to recommend
approval of Application No. 83018 on the grounds that the Standards -for a Variance
are met, and subject to the submittal of a preliminary plat and site plan- agreeing
with the proposed variance. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki,
Simmons, Manson, Ainas, Sandstrom and Versteeg. - Voting against: none. The motion
passed.
OTHER BUSINESS (Withdrawal of Application No. 82042, Universal Sign Company)
The Secretary then explained that he had received a letter from Universal Sign
Company requesting the withdrawal of Application No. 82042, a variance from the
Sign Ordinance to allow a 50' high freestanding sign at the Budgetel Motel at
6415 James .Circle North. He suggested that the Planning Commission acknowledge
the withdrawal of the application through a formal motion.
ACTION ACKNOWLEDGING WITHDRAWAL OF APPLICATION NO. 82042
(Universal Sign Company)
Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Versteeg to acknowledge
the withdrawal of Application No. 82042 on the basis of the letter from the appli-
cant to the Planning Director dated April 15, 1983. Voting in favor: Chairman
Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Simmons, Manson, Ainas, Sandstrom and Versteeg.
Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously. ,
DISCUSSION ITEMS
The Secretary noted that the agenda had called for discussion of the Madsen Floral
property and the townhouses that were proposed as a result of the rezoning of the
property about four years ago. He stated that Mr. Kvamme had wanted to discuss
the question of density. He explained that he had wished to seek a density credit
to allow up to 32 townhouse units rather than the 28 that were originally proposed.
He stated that Mr. Kvamme had asked to discuss this in two weeks rather than at
this current meeting because the purchase agreements were not all in order and
because he had not yet met with the Bellevue Neighborhood Association. Commissioner
Simmons stated that she had talked with Mr. Kvamme about setting up such a meeting
with the Neighborhood Association.
MANUFACTURED HOUSING
The Secretary then reviewed briefly the proposed language for regulating manufactured
housing along with all other one and two family housing in the City. He noted that,
based on a survey of residences less than 650 sq. ft. in area, there were about
six houses- in the City that were less than 18' wide or 18' deep. He suggested that
the language of the ordinance stipulate that the 18' minimum width and depth apply
to one and two family dwellings built after the adoption of the ordinance rather
than making existing one and two family dwellings less than 18' nonconforming,and,_
therefore, unable to expand.
Commissioner Sandstrom stated that he thought 18' was too small a dimension and
suggested that the ordinance require at least 20'. - Chairman Lucht stated that this
might invite -more nonconformities. The Planning Assistant stated that, among those
houses less than 650 sq. ft., there were only five more houses that were 18' or
19' wide.. He stated that the Planning Commission should not require.more than 20'
wide on a one or two family residence since there are a number of 40' wide lots
in the City which require the house to be -no more than 20' wide if 10' sideyard
setbacks are to be met.
There followed further discussion of the 18' wide requirement. Commissioner Sandstrom
expressed concern about the 18' wide requirement.being inadequate. The Secretary
stated that the 18' wide standard would still require that manufactured homes be
double wide.since there are as no manufactured homes more than 16' wide.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 83018
Applicant: Howe, Inc.
Location: 4821 Xerxes Avenue North
Request: Variance
The applicant requests a variance from Section 35 -700 of the Zoning Ordinance to
allow a greenstrip less than the 15' required by from the westerly right-
of-way line of Brooklyn Boulevard. As the Commission is probably aware, the land
in question is presently part of Brooklyn Boulevard right -of -way, south of 49th
Avenue North, and north and east of the Howe site. The land was acquired by MN /DOT
in 1972 because of construction of a bridge over.the Soo Line tracks and to provide
access to Howe. The Minnesota Department of Transportation wishes to turn back
this excess right -of -way to Howe as a means of paying damages resulting from the
changes in access to the Howe site. The Commission may also recall that Howe's
request to use this land area for parking was determined not to be an expansion of
a nonconforming use, subject to Howe, Inc. entering into an agreement with the
City stipulating that the resulting parking area will not be the basis for an
expansion of the business. This agreement has been drafted and must be signed and
executed prior to approval of any site plan proposing the additional parking.
The applicant has submitted a letter.(copy attached) in which he addresses the
Standards for a Variance. He argues that the land conditions - the excess right -
'of -way for the roadway, the fact that only 8 parking spaces could be installed
without the variance - create a hardship for Howe, Inc. if it is to accept the land
in return for previous damages. He states that the situation is unique because the
land is being given back to a private owner after being taken through condemnation.
He also notes the topography surrounding the parcel and the fact that an additional
10 of-greenstrip would have no real aesthetic benefit. The applicant points out
that the hardship is clearly created by the Highway Department which acquired the
excess right -of -way for the bridge over the Soo Line tracks in 1972. Finally, the
applicant states that the variance will have no detrimental effect on surrounding
property, but that the project is, in fact, welcomed by the neighborhood.
The Planning Commission may recommend variance from the literal provisions of the
Zoning Ordinance in instances where their strict enforcement would cause undue
hardship.because of circumstances unique and distinctive to the individual property
under consideration (see the Standards for a Variance attached). What the Planning
Commission must decide in this case is whether the use of the property in question
for only 8 parking stalls rather than 14 constitutes a hardship and whether the
slope of the land and the circumstances of its transfer place it in a unique category.
Staff confess that the use of a half acre of land for only eight (8) parking stalls
and an access drive seems under - utilized. Fourteen (14) stalls and an access drive
do not seem to be so different in value. Nevertheless the desired use is not out
of line for the land area involved. The chief argument of the applicant is really
that an additional 10' of greenstrip will provide no public benefit to persons
travelling over the bridge on Brooklyn Boulevard, but would deny him the possibility
of constructing 6 more parking stalls.
The situation should not be regarded as unique because of who has owned the land in
the past, but on the basis of physical surroundings. The physical surroundings in
this case - a greenstrip located at the bottom of a substantial slope - is somewhat
unique. I't is likely to occur near bridges and freeway ramps, of which there are a
number in the City. Regarding Standards (c) and (d), we have no argument with the
applicant's contentions. The current situation has obviously been caused by the
taking of land for the construction of the bridge. And the location of the variance
will have no relationship to residences in the neighborhood.
Application No. 83018 continued
On the basis of the foregoing, it appears that the Standards for a Variance may be
deemed to have been met. Approval is, therefore, recommended, subject to filing
of -an acceptable preliminary plat and conclusion of the agreement between Howe, Inca
and the City, stipulated under Application No. 83001.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Ronald A. Warren, Director of Planning and Inspection
DATE: July 8, 1983
SUBJECTS Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment
The Planning Commission has been considering and discussing, over the past
month and a half, the possibility of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment which
would allow some flexibility or interchangeability between mid- density residential
development (113) and certain office uses (Cl) recommended along Brooklyn
Boulevard.
The staff has been approached by the owner of the land at the southwest
quadrant of I -94 and Brooklyn Boulevard regarding a "low- rise" office develop-
ment on the property. The land is zoned R5 and certain service /office uses are
permitted by a special use permit. However, the Comprehensive Plan recommends
this area for mid - density residential development which creates somewhat of a
conflict. The Comprehensive Plan recommended alternative for Brooklyn Boulevard
also designates other areas for future development of a mid- density residential
nature and. also, service /office nature.
The Planning Commission has discussed the possibility of introducing flexibility
in these areas by allowing, as a special use, certain office uses (not service or
retail uses) no greater than two storeys in heiglrt that would be compatible in
appearance and density with townhouses. Attached is a copy of a May 24, 1983
staff memo to the Planning Commission regarding this matter and also, Planning
Commission minutes from May 26, 1983 (pages 2 and 3) and June 16, 1983 (pages
4 through 6) regarding this matter.
The Commission has requested the staff to prepare the necessary amendments and
schedule a public hearing for July 28, 1983 for consideration of this matter.
Section 35 -202, Subdivision 1 (a) of the City Ordinances establishes the procedure
for Comprehensive Plan Amendments and requires that a copy of the proposed
amendment be transmitted to the City Council prior to the publication of the
notice of hearing. The notice of public hearing will be published in the Brooklyn
Center Post on July 14, 1983 and, as indicated, the hearing by . the Planning
Commission will be held on July 28, 1983.
Pursuant to the above ordinance provision I have enclosed a copy of the draft
resolution amending the Comprehensive Plan which will be presented to the Plan. -
ning Commission and a copy of the notice of public hearing which will be published
on July 14. Please forward these items along with the staff memo, Planning Com-
mission minutes, and a proposed ordinance amendment to implement the above
mentioned flexibility to the City Council. Any questions that you have, or the
Council might have concerning this matter may be directed to me.

Notice is hereby given of a public hearing to be held on the 28th day
of July, 1983 at 7 :30 p.m. at the City Hall, 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway,
to consider a proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment relating to all
land along Brooklyn Boulevard recommended for. eventual development as
offices, or townhouses.
Statement of the contents of the proposed amendment is to allow
land designated for service /office to be developed alternately as townhouses
and land designated for townhouses to be developed alternately as low -rise
offices,, but not as service or retail use.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission Members
FROM: Planning Staff
DATE: May 24, 1983
SUBJECT: Proposed Office Development at Southwest corner of I -94 and Brooklyn Blvd.
We have had preliminary discussions with Mr. 'Jim Pearson the owner of an approximate
4.5 acre tract of land at the southwest corner of I -94 and Brooklyn Blvd. Mr.
Pearson has submitted a conceptual site plan for 20 office condominiums in . one
storey buildings. The property in 'question - is zoned R5 and is surrounded by
I -94 on the north, by Brooklyn Blvd. on the -east, and by single- family homes
on the south and west. Permitted uses in the R5 zone include: townhouses at
8 units per acre, one and one -half to two storey apartments at 12 units per
acre, and two and orie -half to three storey apartments at 16 units per acre.
Certain Service /Office uses are allowed by special use permit.
The reason we have chosen to bring this matter to the Planning Commission's
attention is because of the recommendations of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan, as most of you probably contains a special section
on Brooklyn Blvd. (pages 139 -182) . Within this section, various alternative concepts
for development along Brooklyn Blvd. are reviewed. A -11 of the concepts, including
the recommended alternative, call for mid - density residential development north
of 63rd Avenue North (and of K -Mart on the east) up to the freeway. The Land
Use Plan Revisions Map on Figure 15 and the accompanying Table 14 on page
98 list mid- density residential development as the recommended land use for
this parcel. Mid- density residential means townhouses in the Comprehensive
Plan. Therefore, the recommended use for this'parcel is townhouse development.
The Plan on page 167, specifically recommends
"The residential area immediately south of I -94 and that area north
of 70th Avenue should receive infill development and redevelopment
with medium - density housing. Commercial uses other than those
already in existence_ should not be allowed to stray into these
residential enclaves and detract from the character which is being
sought.
The Plan aims at accomplishing certain land use objectives found on
163 and repeated below
,to contain commercial land uses within clearly defined sectors of
the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor; propose means of preventing the
evolution of a "strip" of retail and service businesses. from State
Highway (TH) 100 to the northern City boundary
to preserve the smooth traffic flow along Brooklyn Boulevard
• .to protect adjacent residential neighborhoods from undue negative
environmental influences generated. by development along Brooklyn
Boulevard
.to minimize disruption during redevelopment to the residential
character of areas along Brooklyn Boulevard which are recommended
to remain residential
5 -26 -8 3 _1_
to provide an adequate amount of land designated *for commercial use
within the corridor to meet reasonable future community needs for
goods and services
. arance of the Brooklyn 'Boulevard
to enhance the ' image and appe
- corridor.
The first objective is probably the most important since it works towards and epito-
mizes the fulfillment of the other objectives. All this material in the Plan leads us to
conclude that the proposed office development is not consistent with the City's Com-
prehensive Plan and that a special use permit should not be issued to allow an office
use on the subject parcel. We confess, however, that we are attracted to the
proposed development because:
-It appears to have little negative impact on the surrounding
neighborhood
-The architectural style of the buildings is low -rise and
similar to townhouse construction
The. traffic impact of the proposed use is comparable to a townhouse
development
- Residential use adjacent to an intersection with the freeway seems
unwise in spite of the Comprehensive Plans recommendations.
-The proposed office condominium complex meets a unique segment
of the office market.
Base d on the above points, it may be that the Plan could be amended and the
special use permit granted. The Commission is also reminded that the alternative
concepts in the Brooklyn Blvd. study are depicted with a schematic graphic
representation to, as the Plan puts it: "permit interpretation and refinement
by City staff according to individual circumstances."
The Plan can be amended specifically for this individual- parcel with the possible
result that the overall direction of the Plan is somewhat eroded. Or, some of
the. basic assumptions of the Plan can be addressed head -on. Namely, is the
segregation of land uses along the Boulevard of prime importance in ensuring
both the preservation of property values (stability) and the orderly functioning
of the Boulevard as a traffic artery (efficiency)? Certainly retail and service
uses and single - family uses should be well segregated either by buffering uses
(such as offices or townhouses) or by frontage roads (as is the case between
Highway 100 and 58th, Avenue North) . But we • find a great dear of similarity
between townhouse and office uses in terms of their overall space requirements,
their traffic impact, their buffering qualities, and their relationship to single -
family neighborhoods (15' wide buffer strips, 4' high fences, etc) . The Plan re-
flects this similarity by evaluating both office and townhouse developments as
the preferred redevelopment options in the "focus area-" between 58th Avenue
North and 63rd Avenue North (pages 168 -175).
Perhaps the Plan should be amended to allow mid - density residential or office
use on an interchangeable basis. Meanwhile, the Plan would continue to segregate
the higher intensity retail and service uses, clustering them in identifiable nodes
at Brookdale, 63rd and 69th Avenues North. One way of effectuating such a
change inpolicy would be to allow. office (but, not service) uses in the R3 zoning
district. That way, land experiencing redevelopment or infill pressure could
be zoned R3 allowing both flexibility to the developer and control to the City.
5 -26 -83 -2-
These- are certainly major policy questions which should be examined carefully
and not decided at a single meeting in response to a single application. For
that reason, we have brought this matter to your attention of this time before
the application is presented.

major thoroughfare.
Commissioner Sandstrom noted that the ordinance designates.France Avenue between
Highway 100 and 50th Avenue North a-s 'a .major thoroughfare._ - He asked why France was
not considered a major thoroughfare up to 53rd Avenue. The Secretary explained that
France Avenue is a state -aid street in the industrial area and that it is only a
collector street north of 50th.
ACTION RECOMMENDING ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE AMENDMENT ESTABLISHING 69TH AVENUE
NORTH AS A MAJOR THOROUG
f�otion by Commissioner Simmons seconded by Commissioner Manson to recommend
adoption of an ordinance amendment establishing 69th Avenue North between Brooklyn
Boulevard and Shingle Creek Parkway as a major thoroughfare. Voting in favor:
Chairman Lucht, Commissioners 11alecki, Simmons, Manson, Sandstrom and Versteeg.
Voting against: none. The motion passed.
L- --' DEVELOPMENT AT I -94 AND BROOKLYN BOULEVARD /COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Secretary then read a memorandum from the Planning staff regarding the pro -
spective development at the southwest corner of 1 -94 and Brooklyn Boulevard and
the implications such a development would have for the Comprehensive Plan. He
showed the Planning Commission a site plan of the development and stated that.
there would probably be an application sometime in June.
Commissioner Simmons noted that the plan looks like a residential development,
but asked whether the Planning Commission could limit the office use to a one -
storey condominium arrangement:. The Secretary pointed out that an office use'.
would be a special use permit in the R5 zone.and that this might give the Planning
Commission greater latitude in deciding what to approve. He related the history ;
of the special use provision for offices in the R5 zone. He explained that the
office building at 70th and Brooklyn Boulevard was allowed by a special use permit
after the Council had decided not to rezone the land from R5 to C1, but to allow
office uses by special use permit in the R5 zone.
Chairman Lucht stated that the land in question has not been rezoned from :R5 to
R3 in accordance with the recommendation of the Comprehensive Plan. The Secretary
explained that the general policy with regard to the new Comprehensive Plan was
to withhold any rezoning action until a development plan is proposed. Chairman
Lucht noted that there is more control overan office development in the R5 zone,
since it is a special use.
Commissioner Sandstrom stated that access to Brooklyn Boulevard in this location
was poor. The Secretary agreed, but stated that that problem would exist with
any type of development in this location. Commissioner Sandstrom asked whether
it would be possible to allow access onto the exit ramp from I -94 to Brooklyn
Boulevard. The Secretary stated that the Highway Department would never permit
such an access to be gained onto their exit ramp.
Chairman Lucht asked whether it would be possible to gain access to the site from
Indiana Avenue at'the northwest corner of the site. The Secretary recommended
against allowing access in this location since it would bring commercial traffic
into a residential neighborhood. He also recommended against this kind of access
'even if the property were developed residentially. Commissioner Sandstrom noted
that an office development would .create mostly daytime traffic.
-There followed a brief discussion regarding access to the property from Brooklyn_
Boulevard. The Secretary stated that the City would wish to left turns
onto Brooklyn Boulevard. The'Planning Assistant stated that the perspective
applicant had anticipated that it would be a right -in, right -out access only.
He stated that if it was necessary to extend the median, this could perhaps be
required as a condition of the special use permit.

Chairman Lucht asked about the covenant on the surrounding property. The
Secretary briefly explained that a covenant had been placed on all of the
property surrounding the lot at the southwest corner of I= 94-and Brooklyn
Boulevard to prohibit any commercial development of those lots. He stated.
that the covenant was recently renewed for an additional ten years. There
dl lowed•a `brief discussion regarding the acceptance of an office development
ative to acceptance of "townhouses. It was generally agreed that an office
development would probably be as acceptable as any other kind of development
in that location.
The Secretary asked the Commission whether the Comprehensive Plan should be
amended to allow for offices in areas which the Plan has designated for mid -
density residential. Commissioner Sandstrom stated that he thought a good job
had been done on the Comprehensive Plan, but that that did not mean it could not
be changed. Commissioner Simmons stated that if the Comprehensive Plan were
amended, it should not allow just any type of office, but something that was low-
rise and compatible with a residential use. The Secretary stated that an ordinance
amendment could be drafted to allow office uses in the R3 zoning district by a
special use permit and only up to the height of the normal townhouse (two stories)..
Commissioner Manson asked.whether, if the Plan were changed, the commercial area
would eventually be affected by the change. The Secretary explained that most of
.the other land along Brooklyn Boulevard is already developed and that redevelopment
pressures would have to build before a land use change would actually take place.
Commissioner Sandstrom asked whether offices are allowed now in the R3, zone. The
Secretary explained that offices are only allowed in'the R5 zone by a special use
permit and in the C1 zone as permitted uses. Commissioner Simmons stated that the
height and bulk should be limited in the R3 zone if offices are allowed in that
zoning district. The Secretary stated that that was a possibility.:
0 The Planning Assistant stated that one of'the most important questions to answer
. respect to a possible plan amendment was whether the various types of land
uses along the Boulevard should be strictly segregated or whether some mixing of
uses could be allowed. - He stated that retail and service uses should probably be
separated from residential uses, but that office and townhouse uses are often
interchangeable in their impact on surrounding property. The-Secretary stated,
that single-family uses have a hard time existing along Brooklyn Boulevard with
the high traffic counts north of Highway 100. Commissioner Simmons questioned
the wisdom of trying to preserve single- family in that area with the noise and
other impacts of the traffic and commercial uses. The 'Planning Assistant pointed
out that Commissioner Ainas, when calling to say he was unable to attend the
evening's meeting, stated that he felt Brooklyn Boulevard should be primarily
commercial from Highway 100 to 71st Avenue North
Chairman Lucht asked whether it would possible to allow offices as part of a
planned residential development in the R3 zone. The Secretary stated that that
was a.possibility. Commissioner Simmons stated that she did not want the Boulevard
to look like it does in Brooklyn Park. The Secretary agreed and stated that the
Plan allowed for a fair amount of service /office use along the Boulevard, but that
it confined commercial /retail development to certain nodes at Brookdale, 63rd
LAvenue North and 69th Avenue North
ACCES APART MENTS
fiT secretary tier n asked the Planning - Commission to review a couple of publications
from the-Association of Metropolitan Municipalities regarding accessory apartments
in single - family neighborhoods. Conmiissioner 11alecki asked what.the City's current
regulation- was. The Secretary stated that accessory apartments are not presently
permitted in single - family neighborhoods. He s tated that it is possible to rent
up to two sleeping rooms without a separate kitchen unit. He stated that allowing

DISCUSSION ITEMS
a) ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REGARDING TRUCK RENTAL AND LEASING
The Secretary asked whether there were any comments on the proposed ordinance•
amendment. Commissioner Sandstrom asked whether there would be any limitations
on the truck rental and leasing. The Secretary answered that the general standards
for a special use permit would apply to truck rental and leasing. e explained
xplained
that truck rental and leasing would be a special use within the C2 zoning district,
the general commerce district. He stated that regarding outdoor display of vehicles,
truck rental and leasing would be subject to the same conditions as car dealers.
The Secretary also explained to the Commission that amendments to the Zoning Ordi-
nance do require the formal review by the Pfanning Commission. Commissioner Ainas
asked whether neighborhood advisory groups ever had to be consulted. The Secretary
answered in the negative.

k1l",b) B ROOKLYN BOULEVARD PLANNING
Commissioner Sandstrom asked whether the access problems to-the site at the sou west corner of I -94 and Brooklyn Boulevard could be solved. The Secretary suggested
that the median in Brooklyn Boulevard,be extended to prevent.left turns in and out*
of the site.- Commissioner Simmons stated that she had been past the site recently
and noted that left turns were possible with the present location in the median in
Brooklyn Boulevard She asked whether this would be a City project to extend the
median. The Secretary answered that would probably be made a requirement of the
applicant to obtain the special use permit to extend the median. He stated that this
extension could required.as a condition of the special use permit.

- The Secretary stated that the major question for the Planning Commission to consider
is whether offices should be allowed interchangeably with mid-density residential
along Brooklyn Boulevard. The Secretary stated that.he preferred to amend the
Comprehensive Plan to allow flexibility between C1 and R3 type uses in various
locations along the Boulevard. He stressed, however., that major commercial retail
areas should be isolated and not allowed to proliferate along the Boulevard. Com-
missioner Simmons asked how the Commission could control the type of office develop-
ment that would go an area otherwise designated for mid - density residential
on the Boulevard. The Secretary stated that the R5 zoning district allows a lot
of flexibility to have either low -rise apartments,.townhouses, or offices by a
. special use permit. He explained that the Comprehensive Plan recommends mid- density
residential at the southwest corner of I -94 and Brooklyn Boulevard. The Secretary
stated that he preferred to have the flexibility to go with either an office use
or mid - density residential in this location.
The Secretary also pointed out that wholesale land'conversions of existing develop-
ment along the Boulevard were not likely to take place while vacant C1 land exists
expanded if the
in the City. The Secretary noted that single - family homes can be ex P
'a but cannot if the property is zoned commercial. He
property is zoned residents 1, P
noted, therefore, a residential zoning along the Boulevard which might allow com
mercial uses by a special use permit would be the easiest way to preserve single -
family homes until wholesale redevelopment should occu.r. He suggested also that
the homes along Brooklyn Boulevard might be converted to rental use by expansion
with accessory apartments. Commissioner Simmons stated that she favored flexibility
on Brooklyn Boulevard, but she did not think that accessory apartments would be a
positive change for the houses along Brooklyn Boulevard. She asked the Secretary
whether he was asking for the flexibility to make decisions on a case -by -case
basis. The Secretary answered -in the affirmative to some extent. He stated that
R3, R5 and C1 type uses seemed fairly interchangeable *to him, but that commercial
retail uses should be isolated at specific intersections.
' Commissioner Ainas stated that he wished to add to his comment that he had sent
to the Planning Commission at the last meetin -g although he was not present. He
explained that he did not prefer C2 type commercial. to be expanded along the
Boulevard, but that office and mid - density residential should be allowed. He
stated that he did not think the ultimate use of land along Brooklyn Boulevard
should be R1. He stated that the City should consider traffic access along the
Boulevard in its redevelopment plan. Commissioner Ainas stated that he did not
think a developer would hesitate to buy four residential lots to put an office
h
building on even though the cost of the land might run as high as $250,000. He
stated that he felt the staff should be given flexibility in dealing with developers
proposing change along the Boulevard. He also stated that he felt the pocket of
land at the southwest corner of I -94 and Brooklyn Boulevard should be commercial
because of the traffic in that area.
In response to a question from Chairman Pro tem Manson regarding an amendment
to the Comprehensive Plan, the Secretary explained that a public hearing would
have to be held by the Planning Commission, that a draft of the ,plan amendment
would have to be sent to the City Council 10 days prior to the Planning Commission
hearing and sent to the Metropolitan Council after Planning Commission action.
The Secretary stated that the staff could begin drafting such a change if the
Planning Commission - has no problem with it. Commissioner Simmons stated that it
can be sou ht from the original
should be worded so that not just any type of change .9
Plan recora The Secretary explained that the Zoning Ordinance is - written
so that offices are a special use permit in the R5-zoning district, but that retail
uses are not.
In answer to another question from Chairman Pro tem_Manso.n regarding land for an
office development, the Secretary explained that Cl .uses on major thoroughfares
must have at least 150 ft. of width and one acre of land which would certainly
6 -16 -83 -5-
require more than one residential lot. Commissioner Sandstrom stated that it
appeared the residents living along Brooklyn Boulevard are stuck with houses that
are not good for residential and yet cannot be converted by themselves to com-
mercial uses. The Secretary stated.that such residences have been stuck for some
time. He'-stated that residents along Brooklyn Boulevard often think that they have
a small gold mine in their property, but this is not really the case. He acknowl edg $.°
that it is not desirable for single - family use. The Secretary stated that similar
types of redevelopment problems have been 'addressed in communities where major
thoroughfares have widened over time to the point where a residential use is no
longer viable.

sioner Sandstrom.seconded by Commissioner Versteeg to adjourn the meeting of the
