P/I Form No, 19
Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 78029
Applicant: Meadow Corporation
Location: The Ponds Planned Unit Development
Request: Site and Building Plan Approval
The applicant is seeking site and building plan approval for the third addition
of The Ponds Planned Residential Development; this area covers the portions of
the approved Master Plan known as Phases 7 and 8 at the north end of the project.
The Commission reviewed the conceptual layout at the last meeting and stated
concerns relative to the parking provisions, especially for the units which will
abut Unity Avenue North, and the provisions for storage since these are intended
to be family units.
The applicant has submitted a revised design for the off-street parking for the
units along Unity which results in a much improved layout whereby the ordinance
required greenstrip can be fully provided with exception of normal dimensioned
driveways. The earlier plan had virtually eliminated the greenstrip in order to
accommodate the open parking spaces.
This revised parking has resulted in a shifting of the buildings so that the
parking areas are within ordinance setback requirements. On the Phase 7 area
which is on the west side of Unity Avenue North, the original Master Plan concept
of a large ponding area will be eliminated. This area will serve as a rear open
space behind the units and allows the units to be moved to the rear without major
site engineering costs since the cost savings of not installing the large ponding
area more than compensate the additional construction costs.
We will be prepared to discuss the plans in detail at the meeting.
In addition to the site and building plans, the applicant is also submitting an
9 p � pP 9
amended Master Plan which comprehends some boundary changes between Phases 8 and
6. The applicant also should be submitting for a conceptual review, an amended
preliminary plat for this area.
We will be prepared to discuss these in detail at the meeting.
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 issuance of permits.
2. Grading, drainage, utility and berming plans are subject to
approval by the City Engineer prior to issuance of permits.
3. A Performance Agreement and supporting financial guarantee
(in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be
submitted to assure completion of approved site improvements.
4. The sites of the proposed development shall be subject to
replatting prior to occupancy of any units therein. Develop-
ment of this portion of the Planned Residential Development
shall also be subject to applicable conditions of the
original development approval under Application No. 76041 by
the City Council on October 18, 1976.
5-25-78
Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 78029
Applicant: Meadow Corporation
Location: North portion of "The Ponds" Plannned Residential Development
near 73rd and Unity Avenues North
Request: Site and Building Plan Review and Approval
The applicant has submitted site and building plans for 112 townhouses which
represent the third phase of "The Ponds" planned residential development for
which a special use permit was approved over a year ago. For clarification, this
phase is not "Phase 3" as per the approved master plan. It, in fact, comprehends
what was approved as "Phases 7 and 8" at the north end of the project.
The item is presented at this time for review and comment, and recommendation
would be to table the matter until the next meeting.
The applicant will be submitting a proposed revision to the master plan as well
as a proposed preliminary plat for this particular phase. The revision of the
master plan comprehends adjustment of the phase lines since the proposed 112
units and related open space have been designed within the approved Phases 7 and 8,
but do not require all of the land that is within those phases.
We will be prepared to discuss the application in detail at the meeting.

Dear Duane:
We have been talking for some time about the potential of your developing approximately
111 family-type townhouse units in Brooklyn Center in your Fox Run subdivision. The
Minnesota Housing Finance Agency is most anxious to provide the financing and the rental
subsidy under the HUD section 8 program for projects of this type. There is a real demand
for this type of rental unit in the suburban areas of our Twin Cities, and the Housing
Finance Agency does have the necessary financing for this type of project.
It would be most helpful in the analysis of this project to receive in writing a indication
of the City of Brooklyn Center's interest in a project of this type, and that is what 1 am
requesting by this letter. It is my understanding that Brooklyn Center is encouraging a
project of this type and it would be most helpful if we could get an indication of that in
writing. That would help us in our processing and the Housing Finance Agency in their
analysis of the project.
Yours truly,

Mr. Duane H. Dietrich, President

Dear Mr. Dietrich:
This is in response to your April 11 , 1977 letter and discussions we have
had regarding the feasibility of Section 8 construction of family-type
units in the north phases of the Fox Run development. We have reviewed
this matter with the City Manager and hereby confirm the City's support
of the concept of Section 8 housing construction and rental programs in
meeting the low to moderate income family housing needs in the community.
While the City is a willing participant in the Section 8 concept, we are
most concerned that the concept not be exploited through the mass produc-
tion of units resulting in ghetto-like conditions. We strongly endorse the
"scattered site" or dispersed development concept of the Section 8 program,
and thus we would view the magnitude of a proposed Section 8 development
as a major consideration.
The approved master plan for your planned residential development in the
northwest corner of the City would indicate a potential for dwelling units
constructed under the Section 8 program. The matter of diversification
or "scattered site", it would appear, could be accomplished through in-
tegration of market rate units with the Section 8 units Vhroughout one
or more phases. We would strongly suggest that a conceptual plan be
prepared which would show such development in the later phases of the
project, and we are prepared to review such a plan within the guidelines
of both the Section 8 program and local codes and ordinances.
Thank you for your inquiry. Further questions regarding this matter
should be directed to this office.
Sincerely,
Blair Tremere

Mr. lair T r , Director
Planning and Inspection
City of Brooklyn Center
6301 Shingle Creek Parkway
Brooklyn Center, Mn. 55430
Dear Mr. Tremere:
I respectfully request at this time Brooklyn Center Plan-
ning Commission' s consideration for rezoning of my land
situated north of Shingle Creek and westerly of Brooklyn
Boulevard. I am aware of its present zoning and feel it
is uneconomically sound for us to proceed with a townhouse
development hereon because of the current soil conditions
and certain businesses located north of us, i.e. , two car
dealerships, a pizza parlor and a real estate office.
Approximately two-thirds of the 2. 8 acres in question, we
ask your consideration for rezoning to C-1 for an office
building. The other third we ask be considered for a
restaurant site. We feel with the buffer zones provided,
a restaurant situated between the proposed office building
and a car dealership would not create or establish any
inconveniences for surrounding land owners, but provide a
fine family, full-service restaurant at the north end of
Brooklyn Center, which currently is not available. I ask
at this time your consideration be given to the development
of this property as such, based on the following:
Of the total 4 .7 acres, there would only be 2 . 8
acres of buildable land. That is, approximately
40% of this property would. remain in its natural
state to serve as a buffer zone between our land
and the adjacent land owners. we feel that with
40% of the land serving as a buffer zone, the
highest amount of privacy and consideration for
all parties concerned will be achieved.
Mr . Blair Tremere -2- 4/23/78
This 400 of unused land represents a minimum of a 100-
foot buffer zone on the abutting properties within
Brooklyn Center. we feel with the natural environment of
the creek serving as a barrier, the heavy density of
trees, and unused land on the southerly portion of the
creek, we are more than adequately providing privacy for
the adjacent property owners.
Big B's Inc. , originally founded in Brooklyn Park thirteen years
ago, has a strong interest in placing their corporate offices
within the proposed office complex and continuing to grow in
this market area. I would like to point out that this land has
been in our family for more than four generations and was orig-
inally homesteaded by them.
Commercial development on this site should be of the type and
design that will not disrupt the existing neighborhood, and we
feel that our office complex design with its low profile, and
the restaurant to be considered, both exemplify the greatest
consideration for all concerned.
To assist the Council in considering this appeal, attached is a
brief site description of the property involved.
With respect to your Comprehensive Plan, we recognize the need
of a totally planned community but we also feel that not every
area is black and white and that variables do exist. We do
not feel it will set a precedence that will cause embarrassment
to the City because of the existing conditions. I am not fa-
miliar with any other area that would lend itself to some of the
problems that we are faced with but with your consideration we
would be able to develop and establish a sound project that will
provide a great deal of employment for those living in the area
and create a very substantial tax contribution to this community.
Hope this will assist the Council in arriving at a favorable
decision regarding this request.
Respectfully yours,
BIG B'S INCORPORXTED

The subject property encompasses 4. 7 acres situated on the west side
of State 'gunk Highway 152 straddling the corporate boundaries of
Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park, Hennepin County, Minnesota. The
greater part of the site is located in Brooklyn Center and thus
greater emphasis will be placed upon this latter community' s phy-
sical development controls. The property is presently zoned R-3,
with permitted residential development at townhouse densities. The
site is bounded by developed urban uses on 3 sides: the Brooklyn
American AMC dealership and Golden Fox Supper Club to the north;
the Dietrich Construction Creek Villa Townhouse Development to the
south, and Trunk Highway 152 to the east with the Park Center Senior
High School located across the highway.
The site has excellent visibility from Trunk Highway 152 for traffic
traveling in both directions, and there is visibility along Regent
Avenue traveling east. Access to the property is excellent via
Trunk Highway 152 from the surrounding residential areas both to the
north and to the south.
Shingle Creek passes through the southern portion of the property
site and drains northeast to Palmer Lake. The land to the north of
the creek is nearly level throughout, and soil tests indicate that
it can readily accommodate building development. The land to the
south of the creek is highly sloped, and the soil is composed of peat
and muck which presents severe limitations to building. The build-
able land is considered to be that land north of the creek encom-
passing 2 .8 acres. Density transfer to the buildable portion of the
site can be accomplished under careful site design to achieve full
development of the site' s potential.
Both the presence of Shingle Creek within the site and the immediate
area surrounding the site provide it with an attractive physical
environment regarded as a strong amenity for both site development
and neighborhood value. To the east, stands Park Center Senior High
School which has a large open area that extends south to an open
corridor along Shingle Creek. To the south is Creek Villa townhouse
development which is effectively using greenway space to benefit
from the existence of the creek.
Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 78032
Applicant: R. L. Johnson
Location: 7200 Block on Brooklyn Boulevard (west side)
Request: Rezoning
The applicant is requesting a rezoning from R-3 (Townhouse-Garden Apartments) to
C-2 (General Commercial ) of a tract of land consisting of two parcels which contain
approximately five acres bounded by Brooklyn Boulevard on the east, the municipal
Brooklyn Center-Brooklyn Park boundary on the north, the east property line of
"The Ponds" planned residential development on the west, and the north boundary of
the Creek Villa Townhouse neighborhood on the south (which is on the south side of
Shingle Creek which runs through the subject property) .
Your attention is directed to the Planning Commission information sheet of June
15, 1978 (attached) relating to the background information pertinent to this
application. The application was reviewed by the Commission on June 15, 1978 and
referred to the Northwest Neighborhood Advisory Group. The advisory group met on
June 29, 1978 to consider the rezoning request and a copy of their report is
attached. Basically the group concurred with the rezoning request based on the
applicant's proposal for a split type zoning which would allow for a C-1 (Service/
Office) use on the southerly portion of the property, and a C-2 type use for the
northerly portion of the property to allow for development of a restaurant.
Based on further analysis of the application, it is felt that the following are
pertinent items which the Planning Commission should give consideration to prior
to making its recommendation:
1 . C-2 (General Commercial/Retail ) Zoning is clearly not consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan for areas along Brooklyn Boulevard.
The Comprehensive Plan provides that appropriate future develop-
ment uses and rezonings along Brooklyn Boulevard would include
Multiple-Family Zoning and Service/Office Commercial Zoning.
There is thus, basic conflict with the City rezoning policy in
Section 35-208 (attached) which states zoning classifications
must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Should the
Commission determine that there is merit to the rezoning to a
C-2 status, it would be necessary to amend the Comprehensive
Plan.
I
2. While development concepts such as those submitted by the
applicant are useful in determining whether a piece of land can,
in fact, be developed, the Commission is cautioned that zoning
decisions based upon specific development proposals are not
sound legally. There is no "contractual " basis for the City
holding the developer to a specific use once the land is zoned
to a particular classification. In other words, should all or
a portion of this property be zoned C-2, it would be subject to
any permitted or special use in the C-2 Zoning District.
7-27-78
r
Application No. 78032 continued:
3. The application should be fully evaluated against those criteria
in Section 35-208 which the Commission feels are appropriate. A
second portion of the rezoning policy is that rezoning proposals
shall not constitute "spot zoning" defined as a zoning decision
which discriminates in favor of a particular landowner and does
not relate to the Comprehensive Plan or to accepted planning
principles. It would be appropriate for the Commission to use
the checklist guidelines listed in the ordinance to evaluate this
proposal .
Notices of the meeting were sent to the neighboring property owners, and to date,
we have received one call from Marcile Erickson, 7208 Perry Court East, who stated
she would be unable to attend the Planning Commission meeting, but wished to ex-
press that she does not favor the rezoning request.
Recommendation
It is felt that the applicant's proposal does not meet the established criteria
contained in Section 35-208 of the City Ordinances for evaluating rezoning
requests and, therefore, denial of the application is recommended to the Planning
Commission.
7-27-78
Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 78032
Applicant: R. L. Johnson
Location: 7200 Block on Brooklyn Boulevard (west side)
Request: Rezoning
The applicant is requesting rezoning from R-3 (Townhouse-Garden Apartments) to
C-2 (General Commercial ) of a tract of land consisting of two parcels which
contain approximately 5 acres bounded by Brooklyn Boulevard on the east,
municipal Brooklyn Park-Brooklyn Center boundary on the north, the east property
line of "The Ponds" Planned Residential Development on the west, and the north
boundary of the Creek Villa Townhouse neighborhood on the south (which is on
the south side of the Shingle Creek which runs through the subject property) .
Background
I . The applicant owns the bulk of the subject property which
contains just under 5 acres; and he apparently has an option
with the owner of a small parcel abutting Brooklyn Boulevard
which contains a rented single family home. The owner of the
single family home has submitted a letter stating no objection
to the rezoning request. The applicant also owns property on
the other side of the Brooklyn Center-Brooklyn Park municipal
boundary.
2. The applicant, has for some time, proposed conceptual plans for
a commercial development which, in all cases, has included a
restaurant of one sort or another. The applicant has been
informed on numerous occasions over the past several years that,
restaurants require C-2 Zoning which, as elaborated below, is
not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. No plans have been
submitted comprehending an R-3 type development.
3. The property contains enough area to support the townhouse density
of approximately 36 to 40 units. The applicant states that only
about 2.8 acres of the property is "buildable", at least for the
proposed purposes; Shingle Creek runs through the property and
is in the midst of a 100 foot easement. This determination of
buildable land as a percentage of the total parcel , however,
does not preclude the development of townhouses since the
ordinance criteria are concerned with overall density more so than
with the aggregate area of actual construction sites.
4. The application has been accepted as a request to rezone the
property to C-2 which comprehends both retail and office uses
because of the applicant's insistence that a portion of the site
be zoned to accommodate a retail restaurant business. He has
submitted conceptual layouts indicating a "split" zoning wherein
the southerly part of the property would be zoned C-1 and would be
intended for development with office-type uses, and the northerly
portion would be zoned C-2 to accommodate a restaurant use. The
applicant's contention is that the C-1 would provide "buffering"
between the residential development to the south on the other side
of the Creek and the proposed retail or restaurant use.
-1-
6-15-78
i
Application No. 78032 continued:
It was deemed appropriate to accept the application for a C-2
rezoning of the entire property at this time so the matter could
be fully evaluated against the Comprehensive Plan and the Ordinance
Rezoning Evaluation Criteria at both the public hearing and sub-
sequent meetings. There are not any clear defined boundaries
running through this property upon which a zoning line could be
established, and consequently, should the Commission and Council
ultimately determine such a split zoning concept has merit,
establishment of that line would be relatively arbitrary based
upon a specific development proposal . The Commission and Council
have the prerogative, upon full evaluation, to modify the proposal
if the split zoning concept has merit so that the result would be
a C-1 and C-2 zoning of the same property.
5. The applicant has submitted a letter, a copy of which is attached
setting forth his reasons for seeking the rezoning.
6. Also attached is a photocopy of a letter sent to the applicant
earlier this year which included a copy of the Rezoning Evaluation
Criteria listed in Section 35-208 of the City Ordinances; a copy of
that section is also attached.
7. Unlike the parcel across Brooklyn Boulevard to the east which was
rezoned from R-1 to C-1 approximately one year ago, this parcel
has utilities available to it; and it is zoned Multiple-Residential
which is a higher use and density since the parcel is larger and
capable of supporting such a development.
A public hearing has been scheduled, and neighboring property owners within 350
feet have been notified: this includes individual owners of the condominium
townhouses in the Creek Villas neighborhood.
Preliminary Analysis
1 . C-2 (General Commerce/Retail ) Zoning is clearly not consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan for areas along Brooklyn Boulevard.
The Comprehensive Plan provides that appropriate future develop-
ment uses and rezonings along Brooklyn Boulevard would include
Multiple-Family Zoning and Service/Office Commercial Zoning.
There is thus, a basic conflict with the City rezoning policy
in Section 35-208 which states zoning classifications must be
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Should the Commission
determine that there is merit to the rezoning to a C-2 status,
it would be necessary to amend the Comprehensive Plan.

Application No. 78032 continued:
2. While development concepts such as those submitted by the
applicant are useful in determining whether a piece of land
can, in fact, be developed, the Commission is cautioned that
zoning decisions based upon specific development proposals
are not sound legally. There is no "contractual" basis for the
City holding the developer to a specific use once the land is
zoned to a particular classification. In other words, should all
or a portion of this property be zoned C-2, it would be subject
to any permitted or special uses in the C-2 Zoning District.
3. The application should be fully evaluated against those criteria
in Section 35-208 which the Commission feels are appropriate. A
second portion of the rezoning policy is that rezoning proposals
shall not constitute "spot zoning" defined as a zoning decision
which discriminates in favor of a particular landowner and does not
relate to the Comprehensive Plan or to accepted planning principles.
It would be appropriate for the Commission to use the "checklist"
guidelines listed in the ordinance to evaluate this proposal once
the hearing has been held and the proposal has been made by the
applicant.
4. As we have indicated to the applicant on occasion over the past
several years, we do not preclude the possibility of a rezoning to
C-1 following a complete analysis of the nature of the property,
its physcial characteristics, location and desirability for use as
a multiple-residential site, the Commission will recognize that
these are the type of criteria which will be used to judge the
proper zoning of a property in a Comprehensive Planning process.
It seems apparent that the Comprehensive Plan took this into
account by suggesting that appropriate uses along Brooklyn Boulevard
on appropriate sites could be either Multiple-Residential or Service-
Office Commercial ) .
The applicant has submitted a topographical survey, but has yet to
submit soils information which he claims has bearing on the suitability
of this site for certain types of development. We thus, would require
more time to review and analyze the technical data to specifically
determine how much of the site is "buildable'.'
5. The applicant has had an architect prepare an Environmental Assessment
Worksheet Questionaire, and we have indicated to the applicant that
this should be reviewed for accuracy since apparently further inform-
ation regarding soils conditions is now available. There is an
obvious environmental sensitivity with the Shingle Creek Corridor
through this property and, at the discretion of the City as the
application is processed, a more thorough Environmental Assessment
may be required.
Recommendation
It is established Commission policy to refer all rezoning and Comprehensive Plan
review matters to the appropriate Neighborhood Advisory Group which is, in this
instance, the Northwest Neighborhood Advisory Group. We have informed the members
of the Neighborhood Group of this hearing, and it is possible some, or all , of
the members may attend.

REPORT OF: EXCAVATION OBSERVATION
SAMBO S RESTAURANT
PROJECT: BROOKLYN BOULEVARD DATE: September 13, 1978

INTRODUCTION
This report concerns the recent excavation observations and compaction testing we performed
on the soil conditions present at the Sambo's Restaurant located in Brooklyn Center, Minne-
sota. Mr Mike Peterson with your firm, verbally authorized us to judge if the soils exposed
within the excavation were suitable for fill placement.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the results of our hand-auger borings and compaction tests, it is our opinion the
foundation network will provide adequate support for the structure.
BUILDING PLAN
We understand the proposed restaurant will be a single-story, slab-on-grade structure approx-
imately 70' x 65' in plan dimension. Finished floor will be at elevation 71.25' . The struc-
ture is designed to be supported by perimeter strip footings placed 4'-4” below finished
floor and will exert a unit loading of 2400 psf. A number ,of isolated column pads will be
placed immediately below the floor slab and will exert a unit loading of 3000 psf.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
We were informed a preliminary soil exploration was conducted at the site by others. The
generalized soil profile encountered at the boring locations consisted of limited amounts
of surficial fill and organics overlying natural coarse alluvial soils. The coarse alluvial
soils consisted of fine to medium-grained sands.
OBSERVATION METHODS AND RESULTS
On August 29, we performed a visual observation of the soils exposed throughout the building
excavation. The exposed soils were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil
Classification System, and estimates were made of their strength properties. A series of
shallow hand-auger borings were also put down to further ascertain the local subsurface soil
conditions.
During the excavation operations, the remains of an existing structure were encountered within
the northern portion of the excavation. Foundation members for this existing structure had
been left in place and were backfilled with uncontrolled fill materials, which were deemed
unsuitable for foundation support. During our site visit, we observed that all of the exca-
vation was extended down through all existing fill and debris with all existing foundation

members also removed from the excavation area. The depth of excavation within the northern
35' of the building area extended to 5'-6" below design bottom of footing elevation. Within
the southern 30' of the building area, the natural undisturbed sands were exposed 1'-4" below
the design bottom of footing elevation.
According to offset building stakes provided in the field by the contractor, the excavation wa
extended beyond all footing lines a sufficient amount so as to provide for a 1:1 lateral over-
size for the fill placed beneath the footings.
During placement of the granular fill sequence, we performed a series of compaction tests upon
the request of the contractor. The in-place moisture-density tests were evaluated according
to the moisture-density relation of soil as designated by ASTM:D698-70 (Standard Proctor).
The test results indicate the fill materials were adequately compacted at the test locations
and elevations.
REMARKS
We are attaching an information sheet concerning what we consider to be sound engineering
practices for construction of a fill sequence.

PREREQUISITES FOR SOUND ENGINEERING PRACTICE
In order to properly evaluate the foundation soils at a building site, it is imperative for our firm
to know exactly where the building will be placed, its size, and the elevation of the foundation
elements. Without this information, we cannot assure that the preparatory foundation earthwork
is adequate.
This project data is especially critical in situations where the excavation extends below the
footing grade and compacted fill will be required to attain building elevations. In these situations,
the excavation would require lateral oversizing to provide suitable lateral distribution of the
footing loads.
Offset batter boards or the building lines stakes provide the best on-site verification of the
building location and size. It must be recognized that Twin City Testing and Engineering Labora-
tory, Inc., does not practice in the field of surveying. We, therefore, must rely on staking by
others. If Twin City Testing is required to perform the survey, we will retain a licensed surveyor
and invoice client for that amount per our current fee schedule. Provision of the building founda-
tion plans is also important so that we may properly perform our engineering judgements.
If the construction is redesigned or otherwise moved subsequent to our work, we should be
informed so our firm can assess if additional engineering observation is required, or suggest
sound engineering alternatives. We cannot be responsible for any soil foundation system if the
structure has been relocated with respect to the excavation subsequent to our observations.
GENERAL OVERSIZE REQUIREMENTS
Because of the lateral distribution of foundation pressures with depth, lateral oversizing is re-
quired in an excavation where unsuitable soils extend below plan footing grade. The lateral
oversize scheme provides compacted fill material beyond the exterior footing limits where fill
is required below footing elevation. The degree of lateral oversizing is dependent upon the sur-
rounding soil's ability to resist lateral movement. In most soils, we generally recommend the
lateral oversize be at least 2 ft plus the depth of excavation below bottom of footing elevation.
In extremely compressible swamp or organic soils, this oversize should be increased to 5 ft plus
twice the depth of unsuitable soils below footing grade. Due to these variations in the required
lateral oversize, each project must be evaluated individually. Diagrams illustrating typical over-
size dimensions are included below.

Those commercial developments which, in each specific case, are
demonstrated to the City Council to be:
1 . Compatible with existing land uses as well as with those
uses permitted in the I-1 district generally;
2. Complimentary to existing adjacent land uses as well as
to those uses permitted in the I-1 district generally;
3. Of comparable intensity to permute d I-1 Industrial land
uses with respect to activity levels;
4. Planned and designed to assure that generated traffic will
be within the capacity of available public facilities will
not have an adverse impact upon the Industrial Park or the
community; and, which are described in Section 35-322,
