As Director of the Northwest Hen nopin Human Servi ces Counc i I, I am aware that our municipal face: many serious problems concerning youth and their families. Problems relating to Chemical Dependency, Child Abuse and family stress are prevalent . The Detached Worker Program has incorporated some response to these problems into there p rogram. I am a l s o i mp res_,es with the fact that this program can deaonstrate success with a hi rate of non - recidivism of program participants. This program is a popular program for the youth of this area, becasue it is community based, with non relationship with those they serve. By offering a program that stands -free of any institutional set - t i ng, be it schools, treatment centers or juvenile justice, participants are,not subjected to the stigma or legal records that can be used to label them.in later life. I would hate to see youth deprived of this early intervention alternative.

Particular attention will focus on successful efforts in Scandinavian countries. Wellness is made up of several basic components. One of each component will be celebrated each day f Wellness Week '82. The desinated days and their themes y g o y re follows. MONDAY - SELF RESPONSIBILITY "Accept It Self responsibility begins with an awareness of our own health status and the effects of our lifestyle, living and working conditions, and state of mind on our wellness. Accepting self responsibility means taking the initiative to *.Hake positive changes in our lives by taking steps towards a healthier lifestyle. TUESDAY - STRESS MANAGEMENT "Ease It This day focuses on the stress in our lives and its on'our physical health and well being. We need regular opportunities to reflect on our lives to maintain a sense of balance in our lives. Reflection can give us insight into our problems, pleasures, values and goals and help us see what we need to do, either organize, prioritize, socialize, or exercise. WEDNESDAY - NUTRITIONAL AWARENESS "Taste I ". P 1 This day focuses on the importance of good eating habits and the balanced intake of nourishing foods. May include: learning more about nutritional content of foods, reading labels on packaged goods, making sure our meals and snacks are not full of empty calories, but contain vitamins and nutrients the body needs for optimal functioning. (over) !'EURSD AY - PHYSICAL "FITN"ESS "`Move It Physical fitness is for everyone! Young and old alike can usually use more exercise in their lives. There are many ways to be as active as you like -- from a brisk daily walk to stair climbing, swimming, roller skating, and skiing. There are many ways to be active, and the best exercise for you is the one that you will do. FRIDAY - ENVIROtNTAL SENSITIVITY "Save It A health environment is necessary to live a healthy Life. Safety should . be integrated with one's health philosophy. Riding a bike is healthy and non - polluting (follow safety regulations). We can cope better with stress after spending some time in the unspoiled beauty of our state and being care- ful to avoid accidents. Safety is the conservation of human and material understanding. r EFKEND - SPIRITUAL VELL -BEING "Renew It" and Family and Friends "Enjoy and Share It The weekend will be dedicated to spiritual well - being.

It combines the best parts of the half -dozen most beautiful courses ever run in the Twin .Cities. It would certainly be the most beautiful urban marathon in the country. Initial reaction from runners suggests it will be at least as popular among Twin Cities.marathoners as Duluth's Grandms's Marathon, which closed entries at 6000 this year. The race will be held on Sunday morning and will be followed by complimentary refreshments. On the day before the race, a running clinic and sports- medicine exhibition will be held in the Science Museum of Minnesota. W.C.C.O. Radio will cover the race live from start to finish. Nationally and internationally known runners will be invited to compete. In particular, Scandinavian runners will be featured, in connection with the year long "Scandinavian Today" celebration, which will bring in five runners for the race. Our better local runners will also be strongly encouraged to enter the race. _For further-information contact: The Twin Cities Marathon P.O. Box 24193 Minneapolis, `i,^I • 55124 s SCANDINAVIA TODAY - MINNESOTA SCANDINAVIA TODAY is a celebration designed to heighten American awareness of the arts, culture, and intellectual life of modern Scandinavia. Minneanolis and St. Paul are among the cities participating in this celebration during WELLNESS WEEK, October 3 -9, 1982. Minnesota has provided national leadership in developing health promotion/ wellness programs. These are programs designed to improve the health and well -being of individuals and communities through the provision of information, skills, services, and support required to undertake and maintain positive lifestyles. Aside from their positive influence on health, such programs are economically sound and contain health care costs. Advances have been made in corporate and employer -based programs, public oolicy, community -based programs and research. The Scandinavian countries have provided similar leadership in development of policies and programs aimed at the prevention of disease and disability and improved quality of life for a population increasing in age. Therefore, as a result of these mutual interests, a conference is being convened to address health promotion initiatives. It will be held October 8, 1982. The focus of this conference is not highly technical. Rather, emphasis will be on examples of Scandinavian success in health promotion /wellness, and the transfer of these experiences to American efforts. The conference will use the Scandinavian experience and expertise, and that of Minnesotans active in health promotion and wellness, to focus attention on this area of activity. The conference goal is to motivate a representative group of "decision - makers" from the public and private sectors to take appropriate and desireable actions to maintain and to improve their health and .that of their constituents.

The Committee reviewed and approved unanimously the minutes .of the previous Traffic Safety Committee meetings. 2. Final consideration of Thibodeau request for installation of stop sign other traffic safety measures-on Woodbine at Halifax Ave. North. Several residents of the Woodbine and Halifax Ave. area attended the meeting. They were as follows: Jean Dorweiler 4106 Woodbine Lane 566 -4530 Marilyn Heinke 4101 Woodbine Lane 561 -4195 Mary Heinke 4101 Woodbine Lane 561 -4195 Dean Heinke 4101 Woodbine Lane 561 -4195 Marilyn Green 4100 Woodbine Lane 561 -1825 Labelle Zeller 7224 Halifax Ave. No. 561 -2686 Janice St. Dennis 7231 Grimes Ave. No. 561 - 1898... Tom St. Dennis 7231 Grimes Ave. No. 561 -1898 Dick Jindra 4009 73rd Ave. No. 561 -2216 Jean Jindra 4009 73rd Ave. No. 561- 2216 Yvonne Thibodeau 7236 Halifax Ave. No. 561 -5792 Emerick Thibodeau 7236 Halifax Ave. No. 561 -5792 Vice Chairman James Sandberg then called on the Recording Secretary to make the final report and recommendation of the staff in regards to this intersection and the Thibodeau request. The final staff recommendation was as follows : _... A. That, because the nature of the traffic safety problems at Halifax Ave. on Woodbine are enforcement related, the Police Department should take further radar enforcement action on Woodbine and in the area generally to reduce speeding. B. That no stop sign should be installed on Woodbine at Halifax Ave. North as there is insufficient criteria requiring such a sign. C. That the City not consider closing 73rd Ave. attempting to reduce traffic on Woodbine and Halifax. The City staff be- lieves this would be an ineffective remedy. D. That the temporary double chevron sign installed at 7236 Halifax Ave. North be made permanent as a visual aid /warning to drivers. Vice Chairman Sandberg then opened the meeting for general comments and discussion regarding the staff recommendation. Mr. Dean Heinke stated that he believed the City had no real solution to the traffic problem on Woodbine and Halifax. He suggested that the committee recommend that the City reduce taxes in their area, since they can't effectively enforce laws in that area. The staff replied that the City was doing what it could to resolve the problem in the area and that his suggestion about taxes was not within the province of the Traffic Safety Committee's responsibilities to consider. There was then general discussion and comment on previously discussed options. Most of these options dealt with the rerouting of traffic in the area in hopes of alleviating the problems at Woodbine and Halifax. It is the City staff's position at this time that none of those options would reduce the number of traffic violations and vandalisms occurring at the intersection. An additional suggestion was made by Mr. St. Dennis of 7231 Grimes Ave. No. He suggested that the City review with the School District the current bus route in the area, with particular . reference to the narrow intersection of 73rd Ave. No. and Halifax. Appar- ently there is insufficient room for buses, cars and pedestrians to use the intersection simultaneously. There may be a real danger posed for pedestrians and bicyclists at this intersection. The City staff agreed. to check into this upon the recommendation of the Traffic Safety Committee. Chairman Sandberg then closed the discussion and the Committee discussed the recommendations it would make. Upon the completion of that discussion the committe unanimously approved the City staff's recommendations and further recommended that the City staff review with the School District the current bus route in the area, with particular reference to the - narrow intersection of 73rd Ave., and Halifax.,., New Business 1. Consideration of request for stop sign placement on 65th and__, Unity Ave. No. and complaints about traffic noise and speeding on Unity. The following residents from the area of 65th and--- Unity Ave. were present at the Traffic Safety Committee meeting: Harriet Jansen 6336 Unity Ave. No. 537 -7984 Ruth DeFer 6342 Unity Ave. No. 533 -1028 Susan Wallace 6401 Unity Ave. No. 536 -9802 Vice Chairman Sandberg called on the Recording Secretary to review the City staff's recommendations with regards to this request. The City staff reports that it-'s finding indicated that the volume of traffic and the number of accidents occurring on Unity Ave. No. were not sufficient to- warrant traffic regulation devices such as a.stop sign or light. The City staff had discussed the matter with the Wallaces over the phone at a previous; date. The Wallaces and the other complainants were in agreement that a stop sign or other traffic regulation device may not be appropriate but that, something should be done to down the traffic and reduce noise levels of buses in the area. The City staff replied that Unity Ave. No. is currently on the enforcement list for radar by Police Officers. Periodic enforcement does occur there. The complainants requested thA any radar enforcement on Unity be conducted between the hours of 3:00 PM and 10:00 PM as this is the time range in which the most speeding occurs. They also indicated that school buses commonly speed on Unity as well.. The City staff urged the complainants to call the School District Superintendent re- garding the speeding. After further discussion the City staff indicated it would consider the installation of School Crossing signs on Unity if the Fair Oaks School Patrol was assigned to Unity. The complainants stated that School Patrols are active on Unity. The City staff also indicated that it would review the school attendance boundaries for Fair Oaks and Orchard Lane Schools to see how these boundaries affect the flow of traffic and pedestrians on Unity. In regard to the complaint regarding noisy buses on Unity Ave. No., the Committee and the City staff indicated that the noise levels of MTC buses are monitored and controlled. It was further stated that if. the noise were still too high on Unity Ave. No. that the complainants should contact MTC Bus Company and the School Bus Company regarding the problem. The City staff indicated that the City does have a noise abatement ordinance and that it will request the Police Department to periodically monitor noise levels on unity Ave. No. The complainants indicated a tentative approval of the recommendations of the staff and the committee. The conunittee, was in unanimous accord with the City staff regarding these enforcement problems on Unity Ave. No. No further action was requested or recommended.. 2. Committee resignations. The Recording Secretary submitted to the- committee two committee member resignations'. The Chairman, James Merila and member Joyce Tolve can no longer serve on the committee due to personal and professional reasons. Their resignations are accepted and the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee wishes to extend their appreciation and thanks to Jim Merila and Joyce Tolve for their valuable contributions to the Committee.

New Business Thibodeau request for installation of 'stop sign on Woodbine at Halifax Ave North. The recording secretary briefly summarized the events surrounding this request for a stop sign to the current date. In March, 1982, Yvonne Thibodeau of 7236 Halifax Ave. North called the City Administration and requested installation of a stop sign on Woodbine Ave. at Halifax Ave. directly in front of their home. The reasons cited for the request erere that a number of accidents had occurred over previous years resulting in damage to their property and that an excessive amount of speeding by high school kids was occurring after school. Mrs. Thibodeau refused to ive follow-up details, saying that the g P police department would have all the necessary records. The city staff (City Manager, Director of Public Works, and Police Chief) met in April to ics on the intersection were gathered n ider the re Statistics g o co request. Stat s q and an initial decision was made to reject the request for a stop sign on the basis of insufficient need for such a sign. The recording secretary called Mrs. Yvonne Thibodeau in May of 1982 to inform her of the initial decision. Mrs. Thibodeau disagreed with the city staff position and appealed for further consideration. This request was then referred to the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee and Mrs.. Thibodeau and other area residents were invited to attend the next meeting of h attended the meeting July 8, 1982. The area residents w o g were as follows: Carla Heinke 4101 Woodbine Lane Labelle Zeller 7224 Halifax Ave. N. Jean Dorweiler 4106 Woodbine Lane Marilyn Green 4100 Woodbine Lane Yvonne Thibodeau 7236 Halifax Ave. N.. Emerick Thibodeau 7236 Halifax Ave. N. Traffic Safety Advisory Coll ittee meeting -2- July 8, 3.982 The recording secretary then introduced Sy Knapp, Director of Public 0 Works. Mr. Knapp explainecl the c it y staff's position in detail, -elaborating on the specific criteria and statistics used to determine the need for a stop sign. (Written reports were made available to all in attendance at the meeting.) Upon completion of Mr. Xnapp's report, Chairman Merila opened for public hearing on the matter. Many comments were made by area residents that the city statistics on accidents in that intersection were inadequate. The city staff indicated that its statistics reflected the number of accidents reported to the State and any accidents reported specifically by the Thibodeau family. Carla Heinke argued that those statistics were incomplete and inconclusive. She suggested that the city look back at least 10 years and that the list of complaints from all residents in the area should be reviewed, not just the Thibodeau family. Jean Dorweiler (a dispatcher for the City of Brooklyn Center) pointed out that specific - resident case files would reflect only those incidents or accidents in which a report was filed. The general implication was that far more traffic related incidents occur at the intersection than is known by the city. The city staff agreed that it did not and could not have a complete record of all events occurring at that intersection or at any other intersection in the city. Mrs. Thibodeau then stated that the opposite end of Woodbine at Noble does have a stop sign and that there is no problem there with accidents and speeding. .(The city staff had not researched any statistics for that intersection.) There was discussion on the specific nature of accidents and traffic violations at the intersection of Woodbine and Halifax. Marilyn Green stated that trees on the northwest corner of the intersection had been knocked out by cars. Carla Heinke stated that city buses often damaged a fire hydrant on the southwest corner of the intersection. The Thibodeaus mentioned several instances of damage to their property from reckless and drunk drivers. There was then discussion on speed counts taken by the city in and around the intersection in question. Carla Heinke stated that sp eed counts should be taken during the school year, before and after school and from approximately 4:30 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. on weekends. The city staff's speed counts were taken in late June after school was out. Those statistics indicated there was no speeding problem on Woodbine approaching Halifax Ave. Several residents also stated that the city cars making the counts were obviously police cars an d therefore caused drivers to slow down more than normal. It was suggested that a driveway be used or some other more concealed area be used to make the counts. Mr. Thibodeau stated that traffic in the area has increased in-recent years because of the new development of homes going up in the a north and cast of the intersection. Drivers from this area are are apparently using 73rd Ave, to Halifax, to Woodbine in order to get to Brooklyn Boulevard. However, he also stated that Park Center High school students constitute the greatest number of speeders on Woodbine, Traffic Safety Advisory Committee Ilecting -3, July 8 1962 Committee member Joyce Tolvc asked if the city could dead-end 73rd at Halifax to prevent the influx of traffic from the new housing subdivision. The city staff replied that it would study that option. Committee member Phil Cohen then asked if a stop sign at the intersection would effectively eliminate the problems complained of or if it would just transfer them to another area. There was general discussion by residents and city staff on this matter. No firm conclusions were drawn from the discussion.. Committee member Cohen then suggested that further evidence be collected and other possible options considered before a recommendation is made by the committee. At 8:59 p.m, committee member Joyce Tolve moved to close the hearing. The motion was seconded and approved unanimously. There was then discussion held by the committee on the stop sign request. Chairman Jim Merila pointed out that the old City Comprehensive Plan had designated Woodbine as a collector street. The new comprehensive plan designates it as a purely residential street. He pointed out that there is a problem of a lack of sufficient number of col lector_ lector streets in this reside'ntia area because of the geographical makeup. There was further general discussion and suggestions that traffic movements in the area should he studied. Mr. Knapp stated that Woodbine had a traffic flow count which indicated somewhat more than normal residential traffic use. It was not, however, extremely abnormal. At 9:17 p.m. committee member Phil Cohen moved to table any -action by the committee and requested staff to prepare a movement study considering as many options as possible in solving the traffic problems on Woodbine Ave. It was further moved that committee members should tour the area and become familiar with it and that the city staff should make traffic checks during the school year and on late nights during weekends. The motion was seconded and approved unanimously. It was then decided that the committee would discuss with city staff its findings on traffic flows in the area and other statistics at the August 12th meeting, and would then review speed surveys at the September meeting and then make a recommendation thereafter. Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works, requested that the committee consider the installation of a double arrow sign at - the intersection of Halifax Ave. and Woodbine in the interim to study what effects it might have. Mr. Knapp explained that this sign had been offered ' as an option to the Thibodeaus initially, but that they did not want such a sign placed in front of their home. Mr. believes that from a traffic safety point of view, the double arrow sign would'be the Most effective in at least reducing the number of property damage accidents occurring on the Thibodeau lot. Joyce Tolve moved to accept this proposal and'the committee approved it unanimously. Adjournment: At 9:45 p.m. there was a motion to adjourn the meeting. The motion'was approved unanimously, and the next meeting was scheduled for August 12, 1982 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers City Hall. MINUTES OF THE `.0RAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING August 12, 3.982 CITY MANAGE'R'S CONFERENCE ROOD,, BROOKLYN CENTER CITY HALL 7:00 PM Cal to Or der: The meeting was called to order by Vice Chairman James Sandberg at 7:15 PM Roll Call Committe members present were: Vice Chairman. James Sandberg, Arnold Foslien and Dennis Raustadt. Staff members present were: Richard Green, Recording Secretary. As there were not enough members present to sustain a quorum no official meeting was conducted. However, several Brooklyn Center citizens were present in regards to a stop sign request at the intersection of Woodbine and Halifax Avenues. In order_ to accomdate the interest of the citizens in this issue, the Recording Secretary gave a brief interim. Staff Report regarding the intersection question. Brooklyn Center residents present at the meeting were: Mr. & Mrs. Dick Jindra 4009 73rd Ave. No. 561 -2216 Mr. & Mrs. Emerick Thibodeau 7236 Halifax Ave. No. 561 -5792 Jean Dorweiler 4106 Woodbine Lane 566 -4530 Marilyn Green 4100 V ood.bine Lane 561-1825 Chris Monaski 7230 Halifax Ave. No. 560 -3267 Marilyn & Karla Heinke 4101 Woodbine Lane 561 -4195 LT //', Z:e1' r Following the Recording Secretary's Staff Report there was informal dis- cussion with Uhe City residents regarding Woodbine and Halifax Avenue No. The City residents wish to express their united desire for the following: A. That the City of Brooklyn Center barricade 73rd Ave. No. at Halifax in order to prevent drivers from the Brooklyn Park Subdivisions from driving through the area onto Woodbine. B. That a stop sign be placed on Woodbine at Halifax Ave. No. C. That the City take any additional action that it can to reroute traffic out of the Woodbine and Halifax Ave. area. With regard to the barricading of 73rd Ave. No. and Halifax Ave., Mr. Dick Jindra stated that he is the only resident in the area whose driveway enters onto 73rd Ave. No. He stated that he believed that a. barricade at 73rd Ave. No. at Halifax would solve the traffic problems in the area. He also commented that 73rd Ave. No. as it exists now,is too natrow. ous for the volume of traffic. The next meeting of the Traffic Safety Committee will be Thursday, September 9, 1982 at 7:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers of City Hall.

Sight Distt at Crossroads _ i A major safety aspect is the sight obstruction caused by noise barriers, plantings, poles, sign:,, fen--es, bridge rails, etc., at or near the intersections of rams, frontage: roads, arai crossroads. NO obstruction should be placed within this area which is high enoirjh above the elevation of the adjacent roadways to constitute a Sight obstrn�•ticn. W n evaluating sight distance at intersections, t; different procedures must be followed in order to detetriinc if it is adequate— perceptual and driver acceptance of a ndniuum 10 sni. vehicle interval. It is very desirable that both of these be met at all intersections. 1._ Perceptual VWn approaching an intersection at grade, the operator of a vehicle should have an unobstructed view of the vrtole intersection anx% enough of the intersecting high;ray such that the driver coin rerceive a hazard in sufficient tore to alter the_speed 1 of his vehicle as rk--c:essary before reaching the intersection. Minh ra distances along the intersecting road (setback distance) which should be unobstructed are deter„uned by the approach speed and the distance traveled by the ` vehicle in three seconds. This does not provide enough distance to stop the vehicle; b7dever, the three seconds gives the driver two seconds for perception and reaction ` plus one additional seco.rl to actuate braking or -accelerating his vehicle to avoid a collision. Setback distances for various approach speeds and an example of how they are used are sboen in figure 2-1.11. 2. Driver Acceptance of a 10 Sec. Vehicle Interval _ _J i Once a vehicle has stopped at the intersection, the driver must be provided adequate Sight distance to safely enter the intersection. This distance is based on the acceptance of a 10 -sec. vehicle interval. 14zis may or may not be provided using the perceptual sight triairle method. Telephone and peer poles, fences, and bridge rails do not obstruct vision wheal approaching an intersection (i.e. perceptual sight) but can block the entire view when stopped at the intersection. Figure A 5 °291.371 of the Road Design Manual provides the necessary information to determine the lengths j n for this sight. distance.

P,PPLICATION NO. 82 (Viking Gyr e, Inc./jarties Evans) Following the Chairman's ex the. Secretary introduced the first item of business, a request by Viking Gym, Inc. to operate a gymnasium within the industrial building at 1800 Freeway Boulevard. The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Coromiission In Sheet for Application No. 82034 attached) The Secretary added that there are minimum health and sanitation standards in existing City ordinances which could be applied to the operation by the Sanitarian even though no license is required for the gym. Commissioner Sinuncons asked whether the one shower in existence and one additional portable unit wou.1d be enough for the patrons using the gym. The Secretary stated tha. there are no real standards in the ordinance and - that, technically, the operation could go without showers altogether. Commissioner Simmons stated that she felt more showers would be needed. Chairman Lucht stated that he knows of an athletic club that lip )..s only 12 sh(, for a capacity of 500 people using the facility at a time. Mr. James Evans of Viking Gym explained that the facility would be a minimiun fitness facility, not a full blown athletic club as such. He stated that a lot of patrons would conic simply to use the exercise equipment and would not bother to shower at all. PUBLIC ITE'ARING ChiT_Cr_E_an then opened the ineeting for a publIc, hearing and asked whethor anyone present wished to speak to the application. hearing lione, ho called for a motion to close the public hearing.

In answer to questions from Cormis: :ioner Versteog, the Secretary recommended - that the Planning Commission adopt a fourth condition to the special use permit requiring inspection by the City Sanitarian twice in the . 1-1 first year and thereaLter as deered appropriate, with the costs borne by the applicant. Mr. Evans asked what the cost of these inspections were. The Secretary answered that he thought they were about $12.00. ACTION RECOM14ENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 82034 (Viking Gym, Inc./James Evans) MOtro_iT 'Conma7s_sJ_oner . ndstrom seconded by Cai Versteeg to recommend approval of Application No. 82034, subject to the following conditions: 1.

The costs for such inspections shall be paid by the applicant. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Sandstrom, Simmons, Manson and Versteeg. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously. APPLICA NO. 82035 (Arlene Kroll) TSotzng that E_oone was pro-sent to represent the applicant for Application No. 82036, the Secretary introduced Application No. 82035, a request for a special use permit to operate- a dance studio in the Shingle Creek Plaza II industrial building at Freeway boule- vard and Xerxes Avenue North. The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 82035 attached), Commissioner Manson asked whether the Shingle Creek Plaza II building would be primarily service/office uses. The Secretary answered that the in when the building was designed was for aome possible retail uses with orientation to the freeway. He noted that a meat wholesaler was a prospective tenant the owner had in mind when the building was conceived. That was the reason, he explained, for the additional parking provided. Commissioner Sir-un.ons asked what kind of floor would be provided. Mr. Kroll stated that it would be slmoly tile over concrete, but that in the future they hoped to have a wooden floor to give a little more spring to the dancers' step. Chairman Lucht asked the applicant whether he had.anything to add to the Secretary's report. Mr. Kroll explained that there would be 9-16-82 -2-- sortie parties they would like to run until midnight Saturday eveninq P, and which had not been comprehcnded in the hours proposed. .The Secretary stated that he did not know whether the hours of operation even had to be a condition of the special use permit inasmuch as the dance studio is located in an industr-i al di-strict and would be an off-peak use. The Chairman and other Coirup.issioners agreed with this suggestion and by consensus the third recommended condition was stricken from consideration. PUBLIC HEARING CH_a_fr_7ma then opened the meeting for a public hearing and observed that there was no one present to speak regarding the application. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING Motion by Commissioner Simmons seconded by Commissioner Manson to close the public hearing. The motion passed. ACTION RE COPU4EN DING APPROVAL OF APPLIC2� TA ION NO. 82035 (Axlene Kroll) Motion by Commissioner Ve se on�F�_d by Commissioner Manson to recommend approval of Application No. 82035, subject to the following conditions: 1. The special use permit is issued to the applicant as operator of the facility and is nontransferable. 2. The special use permit is subject to applicable codes, ord.inaD.ces, and regulations and violation thereof shall be grounds for revocation. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, CoivHtissioners Sandstrom, Simmons, Manson and Versteeg. Voting against: none. The motion passed. APPLICATION NO. 92036 (Natulxe's IR1zaqe Taxide=7) was not present, Although a �11 i E Et: i! �r T��,]; �_T =c Z _�i '; - 1 the Secretary recomLmended that the Planning Connission consider the application at the present ra"C.her than plat it off for another month. He reviewed the contents of: the staff report (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 82036 attached). Commissioner Simmons asked how q the leftover animal parts are disposed of. The Secretary anveered that it was his impression that the parts were disposed c ":ai,rly quickly and added tha an entire animal is not generally lnrciight in. Chairman Luclat stated that, from his knoi-. of taxi dcn the animals or animal parts are fro until '. are ready to be processed. The Secretary ex- plaine.d that p-lastic skulls are used in the making of animal heads. stated that he did not see. a urcblem th the use. He noted wi He s U - that it has even been allowed as a home occupation and, therefore, could hardly be denied as a pormitted use in the 1-2 zoning district. ACTION FINDING THAT TAXIDERMY IS A USE SIMILAR IN NATURE TO OTHER PEP,14ITTED USES IN THY] 1-2 DISTRICT 7 _s by I m-mons to find that taxicleriny is a use similar in nature to other uses per- mitted in the T­2 zoninq 'I , district. Voti in f avor: Chairman Lucht, Conur,issioners Sandstrom, Simri<on_s, Mlans- and Versteeg. Voting against: none. lj."M motion passed. 9-16-82 -3- DISCUSSION ITEMS The Secretary stated that there would be no meeting on September 30, 1982 unless members desired to discuss some issue. it was the consensus of the Commission that - the September 30, 19 study session be cancelled and that the Commission not meet again until their scheduled meeting on October.14, 1982. Chairman Lucht explained that the Chamber of Commerce has asked the Planning Commission to consider an amendment to the Sign Ordinance that would allow billboards. He added that no specific suggestions were put forth and that, therefore, he has asked the Secretary to request the Chamber to bring a specific proposal for the October 28 Planning Commission meeting. There followed a brief discussion of how the billboard issue has come up at present and in the past. Chairman Lucht noted that the Chamber was almost evenly divided in its feelings about the issue. He stated it was his understanding that Naegle Advertising had offered to use half of the billboard space for community events, etc. The Secretary pointed out that it would probably be difficult to limit what is advertised on the billboards. He stated that staff would recommend that the Minnesota Department of Transportation relax its directional sign standards to allow a directional sign along the freeway denoting such things as the Shingle Creek business district and Brookdale. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Manson to adjcurn the Planning Commission. The motion passed unanimously. The Planning Commission adjourned at 8:26 p.m. Chairman 9-16-82 -4- I Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 82034 Applicant: Viking Gym Location: 1800 Freeway Boulevard Request: Special Use Permit The applicant requests special use permit approval to conduct an athletic club within the industrial building located at 1800 Freeway Blvd. (The tenant space occupied by the gyi would actually be 6504 Shingle Creel, Parkway). The property is zoned I -1 and is bounded by Northwestern Bell on the north, James Avenue North on the east, Freeway Boulevard on the south and Shingle Creek Parkway on the west. Athletic clubs are allowed by special use permit in the C2 and I -1 zones. In the past, athletic clubs and health spas have been required to provide parking on the basis of the office formula of one space per 200 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The tenant space in question is 3,520 sq. ft., requiring 18 parking stalls under the office formula, about 4.5 spaces under the industrial formula, for a differential of 14 spaces. The remainder of the building is occupied, for the most part, by Federal Munitions Corporation, an industrial tenant. The total parking requirements for the building as presently used is roughly 210 spaces. There are 212 spaces installed.at the site and an unstriped area which could accommodate 80 additional parking spaces. Therefore, it appears that the proposed use presents no real conflict with ordinance parking standards. The.applicant has submitted a letter (copy attached) explaining the nature of the proposed operation. Mr. Evans explains that the Viking Gym would be a "dry salon" with no swimming pool, sauna, steam, or whirlpool. The floor will be covered with indoor- outdoor carpeting over a rubber base. Thick rubber pads will be placed in areas underneath the weight - lifting equipment. Mirrors will be placed at certain locations along the walls so that those using the equipment can check their form as they do exercises. The hours of operation would be 10:00 a.m, to 9:00 p.m. week- days and 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday (closed Sundays). The gym would be open on a coeducational basis to persons over 18 yrs. of age (14 yrs. with parental consent). The space being used has one shower installation and another portable unit is to be added. Two restroorls and a drinking fountain are already in place. The Planning Commission may wish to recommend review and approval by the City Sani- tarian as was done in the case of the suntan studio in the Brookdale Office Tower. The Sanitarian, has recomilliended that an ordinance be passed with specific standards rather than leaving matters to arbitrary judgments. In general, we see no reason to deny the special use permit. Another gymnasium was approved at this location before and the pro the fol lowing caridi t� ons posed use does not seem to present any particular difficulties. Approval is, therefore, rrecommended subject to at least I. The special use permit is issued to the applicant as operator and is nontransferable. 2. The special use permit is subject to all appropriate codes, ordinances, and regulations and any violation thereof shall'be grounds for revocation. 3. Hours of operation shall be from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday- Friday and 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.rn. Saturday. 9 -16-82 Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 82035 Applicant: Arlene Kroll Location: 2700 Freeway Blvd. Request: Special Use Permit The applicant requests a special use permit to conduct a dance studio business in the Shingle Creek. Plaza II industrial building located at the northeast corner of Freeway Boulevard and Xerxes Avenue North. The property in question is currently under construction and is zoned I -1. It is bounded by vacant industrial land on the southeast, by Freeway Boulevard on the southwest, by Xerxes Avenue North on the northwest, by Shingle Creek Parkway on the north, and by the Shingle Creek greenstrip on the northeast. The dance studio is regarded by staff as an educational use (as opposed to an athletic club which cannot abut R3 zoned property) which is a permitted use in the C2 zone and is allowed by special use permit 'in the I -1 zone. The applicant has submI tted a letter (attached) in which she explains her operation. The use would be located in a 2000 sq. ft. tenant space with all area except for a small office devoted to teaching. There would be three (3) teachers besides Ms. Kroll and two teachers -in-- training. The lessons would cover Modern Ballroom, Old - time dancing; Disco and Country Western. The studio hours would be from noon to 10:00 p.m. The parking requirement for the proposed use should probably be one space per 200 sq. ft. which is the formula for unspecified commercial uses in Section 35 -704 of the Zoning Ordinance. The Shingle Creek Plaza II property has additional proof -of- parking spaces which would allow for up to 40% of the building to be devoted to this type of use or office use. Also, most of the traffic would be in the evenings, an off -peak time. We, therefore, see rio conflict with the parking requirements from the proposed use. Based on the foregoing, we see no difficulty in this use meeting the Standards for a Special Use Permit and recommend approval subject to the following conditions: I.

The proposed location of the business is 3703 - 50th Avenue North which is zoned 1-2 and is bounded by 1-2 zoned land on the east, south and west. On the north side of 50th Avenue North is an R4 zoned four-plex. Taxidermy is not specifically listed among the 1-2 permitted or special uses, nor anywhere else in the Zoning Ordinance. However, the ordinance does allow for "other uses similar in nature to . . . permitted uses as determined by the City Council." The Planning Commission is referred to a letter from the applicant dated September 7, 1982 (attached) in which he explains certain aspects of his business. The applicant mentions that Nature's Image is licensed by both the State and Federal governments and that chemicals involved are primarily products generally found in the home. A small amount of formaldehyde (approximately I pint per year) is also used. Remaining animal parts will be disposed of by the Mengelkoch Company of New Brighton. No noise or odor should be perceptible beyond the property line of this establishment. Attached for the Planning Commission's review are the permitted and special uses in the 1-2 zoning district. Staff regard the proposed use as similar to other activities permitted in the 1-2 zoning district (eg. veterinarian and animal hospitals) and could even be regarded as somewhat similar to "funeral and crematory services" which are permitted in the Cl zoning district. It is recommended that the Planning Comm mission make a finding that the proposed taxidermy business is similar in nature to other permitted uses in the 1-2 district and make a motion recommending this finding to the City Council. 9-16-82 TO: Gerald.

Splinter, City Manager FROM: Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works DATE: September 24, 1982 RE: Redevelopment of Area Between 68th and 69th Avenues North, from West River Road to Aldrich Avenue North In 1976, the City staff, at the request of the City's Planning Commission, developed preliminary plans for possible replatting and redevelopment of the area between 68th and 69th Avenues North, from West River Road to Aldrich Avenue North. Numerous alternatives were developed and a public informational meeting was held on April 12, 1976 with property owners from that area. Records regarding that meeting in- dicate that a majority of the property owners favored the redevelopment plan. The meeting was closed with a recommendation from City staff that "..., people who are - interested in development should try to organize among themselves.....", and that City staff would be willing to provide assistance in formulating any plan for action. Since that time, three minor developments have occurred, i.e.: - the "Gunderson Addition" was platted in 1979. - the "Swanco Terrace Addition" was platted in 1976. - the "Clinch Valley Addition" was platted in 1978. Of these, only the Gunderson Addition was platted in accordance with the "master plan" which the Planning Commission selected for the area. The other two plats were approved because those developers were unable to get the cooperation of ad- joining property owners. Currently, the Minnesota Department of Transportation is developing plans for reconstruction of T.H. 252. Within Brooklyn Center approximately 42 single family homes will be displaced by that project. Acquisition of those homes will begin in 1983, with highway construction to begin in 1984 or 1985. If the area in ques- tion were redeveloped, an opportunity could be provided for relocation of about one -half of those homes in Brooklyn Center. However, if past experience is an indicator, it is very doubtful that this would happen without the City taking a lead position. During the past six months, several of the property owners have again expressed an interest in this redevelopment plan, and have suggested that the City attempt to "package" the plan. If the City does wish to foster this concept, proceedings should be initiated soon so that development of the area can occur prior to the time acquisition and removal of the houses along T.H. 252 occurs. Even if there is no desire to provide a "relocation area" for the displaced houses, some plans for replatting of this area should be developed because: (1) Acquisition of the houses along T.H. 252 will create at least four remnant parcels with no access to a public street; and (2) there is a need to coordinate local street configuration with the new T.M. 252 layout.

Splinter Page 2 Two maps are attached: - One map shows current property lines and ownership of the area in question, - The second map simply shows the same information, and acids the approximate right of way line for the T.H. 252 improvement. If, upon discussion of this matter, the City Council indicates their interest in developing this concept, we would be happy to develop new alternative plans, to again meet with property owners, and to develop recommendations for alternative levels of City involvement.

Splinter, City Manager FROM: Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works DATE: September 23, 1982 RE: Alley Paving Policy In 1975 the City Council adopted a Uniform Alley Improvement Policy (Resolution No. 75 --89, copy attached). Between 1975 and 1978, 6 alleys were paved, primarily on the basis of petitions submitted by a majority of the property owners, and in accordance with the policy. In 1978 the City Council conducted public hearings on a staff proposal to improve the 9 unimproved alleys then remaining. That staff proposal was initiated primarily on the concept that if all alleys were done at the same time, there would be an opportunity for substantial "quantity discount" savings. However, at the public hearings, only 2 of the 9 projects received any substan- tial public support and were constructed in 1978. The other 7 projects elicited substantial opposition from the residents. Accordingly the proceedings for those projects were terminated. In 1982 the City did receive a petition from a majority of the property owners on one of the remaining alleys, conducted a public hearing on the project, and ordered it constructed. That improvement is now being constructed. During the past two weeks I have received two complaints about the condition of one of the unimproved alleys. One between Fremont and Girard Avenues from 55th to 57th Avenues. Examination of this alley indicates there is a low point in the alley which cannot be drained without installation of a storm sewer. Because of this low point and the extremely flat grades, it is impossible to keep this alley in good condition. Both of the citizens who complained about the current condition of the alley were among the people who opposed the improvement in 1978. After discussiong the problem with them at some length I am under the impression that they might now be receptive to the improvement. However, it is still very doubtful that a majority of the residents in this long block would support the project. It appears that if the City's position is that the improvement will not be considered unless there's a petition requesting the project signed by at least 50% of the property owners, then the problem may never be resolved. On the other had, I do not think the City should attempt to force the issue without considerable support from the property owners. Accordingly, I recommend that this matter be discussed with the City Council, and that we ask the Council for their direction in addressing this question. Respectf lly submitted, Knapp SK:jn Member Tony Ktioflor introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RM'-_' 1 75-89 RESOLUTION ESTABL' SH,F14G A UTUFORM ALLEY IMPROVEMENT POLICY WT IERBAS, citizens of the City of Brooklyn Center are becoming L interested in improving the alleys abutting their property; and WHEPEAS, the City Council deems it necessary to adopt a uniform alley improvement policy which establishes certain policies for the construction of and the assessing of the costs for alley improvements; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center that the following uniform alley improvement policy be adopted relative to construction standards and cost assessment factors: 1.
