The motion passed unanimously. CHAIR'S EXPLANATION Chair Sean Rahn explained the Planning Commission's role as an advisory body. One of the Commission's functions is to hold public hearings. In the matters concerned in these hearings, the Commission makes recommendations to the City Council. The City Council makes all final decisions in these matters. DISCUSSION ITEM• DISCUSSION WITH CITY ATTORNEY CHARLIE LEFEVERE, REGARDING MINNESOTA STATUES 2010 SECTION 462.357, SUBDIVISION 6 RELATING TO VARIANCES City Attorney Charlie LeFevere explained that he had been invited to speak to the Planning Commission to provide an understanding and legal viewpoint of the updated Minnesota State Statute related to Variances. He added that States do have the power to regulate land use by zoning as referenced in Chapter 462 of the State Statutes. Mr. LeFevere stated that in cases reviewed by the Planning Commission, it is their role as an advisory body to make recommendation to the City Council regarding Special Use Permits, Zonings, Site and Building Plan approval, Preliminary Plat approval, etc. They also serve as the board of adjustments for review of Variances. i Mr. LeFevere explained that once the city establishes its own `rules' by ordinance adoption, it is up to the City Council and Planning Commission to enforce the ordinances. He further pointed out the difference between varying levels of discretion allowed when making decisions regarding applications relating to regulations, the law and public input allowed. 10 -13 -11 Page 1 [Commissioner Morgan arrived at 7:15 p.m.] Further, when a City establishes certain codes, it is based on certain assumptions, and the approval process must stay within those requirements. He added that there are some cases where those assumptions may be incorrect, and therefore, the Legislature made provisions to the State Statutes to allow cities to grant Variances under circumstances based on certain criteria. Mr. LeFevere pointed out that the new legislation states that a Variance may be granted when the applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying. Practical difficulties are defined as: property owner proposes to use property in a reasonable manner not permitted by an official control; the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; and, the Variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. If the subject Variance does not meet the above, the City cannot grant a Variance. He added that if a Variance is granted when it should not be allowed, the City and property owner can be sued. The court may decide that the city was too permissive and the land owner may be required to undo the Variance. Commissioner Morey asked Mr. LeFevere to address the previous Variance application where the issue was unique to the property but not created by the current landowner. Mr. LeFevere responded that it his judgment that the law refers to the current as well as previous landowner and Owner No. 2 should not be granted a Variance because Owner No. 1 was allowed to get away with a violation. Commissioner Kuykendall stated that she does not feel the code should be changed to meet the recent Variance request, however, the staff made an error in not following through with the process. Mr. LeFevere responded that people do make mistakes, but we don't know for sure that a mistake was made by the Staff. The inspector may have said that they second shed had to be removed and was told that it would be. He added that if the City allowed a Variance to do something not allowed by the code, a precedent could be set that would require the city to allow everyone else to do the same thing. There was further discussion regarding Variance regulations among the Commissioners and Mr. LeFevere followed up with information on requirements for Special Use Permit approvals and site plan approvals. DISCUSSION ITEM: UPDATE ON THE BROOKLYN BOULEVARD CORRIDOR STUDY FOR 2011 -2012 Mr. Benetti stated that the City Council recently awarded a contract to SRF Consulting Group, Inc. to study the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor. City staff will be working with SRF's staff in developing and providing a new action plan related to this important corridor in the City. 10 -13 -11 Page 2 Mr. Benetti further stated that the plan is to be completed by late summer 2012 and will include the following issues to be studied: • Driveway and access connections • Right of way design • Sidewalk and trail connections • Signage • Streetscape • Landscaping and similar enhancements Mr. Eitel stated that there was a task force kick off meeting on Monday and Staff's plan is to come back to the Planning Commission in an informative manner so they will have a good understanding of the solutions and options along Brooklyn Boulevard. He also pointed out various locations along Brooklyn Boulevard that the City has looked at for possible future development. OTHER BUSINESS: Commissioner Kuykendall stated that the retail area located at 69 and Brooklyn Boulevard is very busy and congested and she has concerns that the layout cannot handle additional traffic if the proposed new office building is constructed. She stated that she would like to see another traffic study done. Mr. Eitel responded that the proposed developer could be asked to pay for a traffic study or the City could look into doing another study. There was no other business. ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Commissioner Morey, seconded by Commissioner Kuykendall, to adjourn the Planning Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m. Chair Recorded and transcribed by: Rebecca Crass Recording Secretary 10 -13 -11 Page 3 I Application Filed on October 6, 2011 City Council Action Should Be Taken By December 5, 2011 (60 Days) Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 2011 -018 Applicant: Brett Hildreth Owner: 720 Company LLC Location: 720 and 800 — 69 Avenue N. Request: Preliminary Plat of "Evergreen Villas" INTRODUCTION The applicant, Brett Hildreth, on behalf of the 720 Company LLC, is seeking Preliminary Plat approval to replat two existing parcels into two separate platted lots. The two properties are identified and located at 720 and 800 — 69 Avenue N. The north portion of this plat fronts onto 70 Avenue North, which includes a small segment of land to be dedicated for additional 70 Avenue right -of -way. The applicant intends to separate out the existing (and to remain) single - family residence at 720 69 Avenue N., thereby creating a smaller sized lot of said property. The remaining portion of that parcel, mainly the rear area, and the entire larger parcel under 800 — 69 Avenue N. will be platted into one large separate lot for future residential development. Mr. Hildreth does not have any concepts or plans developed on this remaining land area at this time, but may present a new residential development plan (and possible rezoning) sometime in the future. A public hearing has been scheduled and notices to surrounding property owners have been sent. ANALYSIS Prior to this re- platting process, the subject parcels on their own equal 0.88 acres and 2.34 acres, respectively. The new Lot 1 will consist of 121,870 sq. ft. of area, or 2.8 acres, while Lot 2 will contain 11,584 sq. ft., or 0.27 acres. This plat also provides for the dedication of a small northerly section of land of the larger lot into additional 70 Avenue right of way, consisting of 6,994 sq. ft. The property in question is zoned R -1 One Family Residence (see area Zoning Map illustration on next page), which allows only single - family (one - family) dwellings, along with typical residential accessory uses. Other uses such as churches, schools, golf courses, cemeteries or public owned facilities are allowed by special use permit. The subject site is surrounded on the south and west by R -1 zoned lands which contain typical, single family residences. The northwest portion abuts an R -3 Multiple Family Residence (townhouses /condos /garden apartments) zone, which is locally known as "Evergreen Estates" townhomes. The easterly Evergreen Villas - PP Page 1 of 4 10 -27 -11 boundary abuts against a large R -4 Multiple Family Residence, which allows for 1.5 to 2 -story multiple family dwellings and/or apartments, and contains the 128 -unit "River Glen Apartments" development. ZONING MAP LAND USE MAP 2 t Nt t. ¢ }aCbc'�.' Subject Properties n EVERGREEN SCHO01. 3 7f l l Subject Prop 4° "� SF R3 q .,x SF . _ ?eve MF RA 4. L i The subject property is guided under the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan as "SF - Single - Family." The surrounding properties zoned R3 and R4 are guided under the same 2030 Comp Plan as "Townhome (Medium Density)" and "Multi- Family (High Density)" respectively. Any future request to rezone the subject site to similar multiple - family residential would require a land use amendment to either one of these categories. Staff again states that Mr. Hildreth has not submitted any rezoning/land use amendment applicant at this time, nor has staff been made aware of any future development plans for this site. Should Mr. Hildreth choose to develop the larger Lot 1 with a typical single - family residential dwelling or other allowed (permitted) use under R1 Zone standards, he is free to develop as such, subject to submittal and approval of a building permit. The subject site (primarily 800 -69 Ave. ) has double frontage along 69 Avenue and 70 Avenue to the north. The existing driveway access into 720 — 69 Ave. will not be changed or relocated as part of this plat. No other access points or roadway sections are being planned or illustrated on this plat. Once Mr. Hildreth is ready to develop this site, a separate layout of lots (if re- platting is requested), along with access points, driveways, roads and easements, etc. would need to be designed and illustrated on any future site plan submittals. The properties when re- platted will be known as Evergreen Villas, which is keeping in line with the name of Evergreen Estates to the west. Evergreen Villas - PP Page 2 of 4 10 -27 -11 Although the 720 — 69 Ave. residence will lose almost 2/3 of its previous land area due to this platting, minimum lot standards for the R -1 Zone requires only 9,500 sq. ft. of area. The existing house that will remain on the lot, including the accessory structures, wi ll meet all new setbacks created by this new plat. Sewer and water exists in both the 69 Avenue and 70Avenue right of ways. The home will remain connected to its own individual service lines, and future development of this site will need to tie into one or both of these utility areas in these two streets. The former house at 800 — 69 Avenue was removed in 2010 and service lines were disconnected. The preliminary plat is absent of any drainage and utility easements. City Engineering has made comments to this issue in their separate review memo and conditions have been incorporated as part of any approvals. There appears to be no drainage or grading plans submitted with this plat, as all physical conditions of the land will remain intact until such time when development takes place. As stated previously, city staff is, unaware of Mr. Hildreth's plans for redevelopment of this site, and is unable to provide any possible development scenarios or timelines. Staff assumes that once the housing (development) market rebounds, the city might expect a follow -up application from Mr. Hildreth or others on this site. For all intents and purposes, this is a fairly simple and standard plat request. The new lots . created will not, at his time impede any orderly growth of the neighborhood or cause any increased impact on local services. The Plat appears to meet all minimum requirements set forth under City Code Chapter 15 — Platting. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2011 -13, which comprehends the approval of Planning Application No. 2011 -018, which proposes a Preliminary Plat for Evergreen Villas, subject to the following conditions and allowances: 1. The final plat shall be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 2. The final plat shall be subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances. 3. Prior to final plat approval, all encroachments into or over proposed lot lines shall be removed and verified. 4. No building permits shall be issued for any new dwellings until the plat has been given final approval by the City Council and filed with Hennepin County. Evergreen Villas - PP Page 3 of 4 10 -27 -11 5. An updated certified abstract of title or registered property report must be provided to the City Attorney and City Engineer for review at the time of the final plat application (within 30 days of release of the final plat). 6. The Applicant shall provide a 10 foot drainage and utility easement on all exterior lot lines. 7. The Applicant shall provide a 5 foot drainage and utility easement on all interior lot lines. 8. Disconnect existing sewer and water services at the main on Lot 1, Block 1. 9. Cure swing set encroachment (move swing set to one side of the property line or the other, dependent on owner). 10. Dedicate 70 Avenue North as right -of -way including 2 -ft behind the existing sidewalk on the final plat. 11. Install a new sanitary sewer service to 720 - 69 Avenue that does not encroach on Lot 2 and remove the old service line. 12. The boundary and topographic survey must show the sanitary sewer and water service and material for the existing house.

Staff would like to initiate an open discussion and dialogue with the Commission by identifying key planning areas and identification of issues throughout this corridor area. Our focus under this discussion item tonight will be in the area we refer to as the "Upper Region" of Brooklyn Boulevard. Although SRF has tentatively identified some planning and design issues, Staff would like to ensure that the Planning Commission remains an integral part of these study issues so we can pass those on to the BBCS Technical Advisory Committee, which Mr. Eitel and Mr. Benetti currently participate in. A number of issues to be considered and studied include land use — both existing and future; driveway and access connections; right of way design; sidewalk and trail connections; signage; streetscape, landscaping and similar enhancements, and a. variety of other issues. There is no required or recommended action by the Planning Commission on this item.
