Subject: RE: communication
I will add this item to the study session agenda.
I will provide a few quick response to some questions below.
From: Carol Kleven
Sent: Friday, August 17, 2012 3:09 PM
To: Curt Boganey
Subject: communication
HI Curt;
During the next City Council Meeting under(2. Miscellaneous) I
would like to discuss the subject concerning the communication
loop of when a constituent sends a concern to each of the City
Council Members.
I
• How does this all work together? What is the best way to pursue the answer/answers to the constituent
regarding his/her problem/questions?
• How does this all work together with the Open Meeting Laws/issues?
o The primary open meetings law issue is to make sure that we avoid a serial meetings.This is why
Council policy ask that Council members not email each other directly regarding city business. Instead
emails are sent to the City Manager who may distribute information to the Council.
• You have shared with me Lin Myszkowski's e-mail to you, but not your answer to her. You have shared Kay
Lasman's e-mail to Solomon, Lo with me.
• Did you send the other City Council members my response to Solomon, Lo, and his response to me? Or my
original e-mail to you?
• I will have to follow up on this one and get back to you.
• How do you decide whose e-mails get forwarded to other Council Members and which do not?
• If a Council member makes a request that I forward to other Council members I will do that.
• If the topic seems to be of general interest, I will forward to other Council members
• If the topic is related to information that the entire Council will need to act on in the future I will share
with the City Council.
• If the constituent has made contact with all Council members, I will share my responses with all Council
members.
• If the topic seems to be narrow in scope and impact perhaps only of interest to a single
Councilmember I typically will not forward to other Council members.
P.S. I have not heard from you regarding the response you sent to Solomon, after my original e-mail to you.

CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS
City Manager Curt Boganey stated that a Public Hearing is required for Agenda Item 6g. The
item will be moved from the Consent Agenda to Agenda Item 10b. He indicated Council has
been provided with the following correction to the July 23, 2012, Regular Session City Council
Minutes:
Page 8 —Council Report, 6th paragraph, last sentence:
Councilmember Lasman, Crime Prevention Liaison, announced the August 6, 2012,
National Night Kick Off Party in Centennial Park where all are invited and many events
will be offered. Mayor Willson noted he will be attending an out-of-town training so
Mayor Pro Tern Lasman will be r o„+:„n aviards for Br-ookl5 Center that c+<.eptingg do
the formal welcome.
Council consensus was to include the above amendment and correction as amendments to the
Regular City Council Agenda.
Councilmember Lasman requested discussion on Agenda Item 9a. She expressed concern over
the number of uses in the PUD changing over to fast food restaurants.
Mr. Boganey requested Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel to address whether the
current PUD allows or prohibits fast food restaurants. Mr. Eitel explained that the current PUD
does not allow drive-up windows, but does allow convenience foods.
The Council expressed concern regarding a trend towards including fast food restaurants in the
PUD. Mr. Eitel reviewed the PUD and answered questions of the Council, explaining that the
08/13/12 -1- DRAFT
potential tenants would not likely be classified as "fast food". There was discussion on the
difference between drive-thru fast food restaurants and restaurants that provide takeout but are
not identified as "fast food".
Mayor Willson stated while he will support the proposed PUD Amendment on tonight's agenda,
a message should be sent to Mr. Gatlin that there is concern regarding the potential direction
towards including fast food restaurants in the PUD.
Mr. Boganey stated this message will be passed on to Mr. Gatlin, and that Mr. Gatlin has also
heard this message from staff.
MISCELLANEOUS
Councilmember Lasman stated a resident mentioned that their church received a letter regarding
a potential new use on 69th Avenue and Brooklyn Boulevard where Starbucks was formerly
located. There was a lot of activity at the site with a large dumpster and some gutting work
being done.
Mr. Boganey explained that the site will be reviewed at the Planning Commission meeting this
week.
Councilmember Kleven announced that sales for Brooklyn Center housing is up with the median
sales price now at $114,000 compared to last year at $66,000. The average sale price for July
this year is $109,000 compared to last year at$84,000. Closed sales are up 13%, new listings are
down 27%, the number of selling days on the market this year is 76 compared to 148 days last
year.
Councilmember Ryan stated he and Councilmember Kleven attended a presentation by the Met
Council last Thursday related to the Met Council's initiative called MSP 2040, which is an effort
by the Met Council to engage citizens and elected officials in an ongoing planning process
centered around 2040. There will be a schedule announced for meetings that will be held in the
area.
Councilmember Myszkowski announced that the Minnesota Department of Commerce
announced their recent auto theft grant award providing the City with funds for license plate
readers that are capable of reading hundreds of vehicle license plates per minute to determine if
they have been stolen. She noted the Stan Tribune ran an article talking about some of the
privacy issues with this technology because the information is public data. Currently the
legislature has not acted on applying parameters on how long the data is retained by the Police
Department. One of the issues that has been brought up is that anyone is able to request this
information.
Mr. Boganey stated the Police Department will provide a report on the proposed terms of the
policy for retaining the data.
Mayor Willson stated there have been comments on the speed of vehicles in the area of Logan
08/13/12 -2- DRAFT
and 55th/54th Avenues, and that a petition drive for a four-way stop may be moving forward. He
suggested placing the speed trailer in the area for a while, as well as some higher visibility from
the Police department.
Mr. Boganey indicated that the Traffic Committee will review the situation. He noted four-way
stops do not always help the situation, and often makes the speeding situation worse, as well as
often moving the problem to a different location.
ADJOURNMENT
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Kleven seconded to close the Study
Session at 6:43 p.m.

Mayor Tim Willson opened the meeting for the purpose of Informal Open Forum,
Will Dahn, 5733 Knox Avenue North, addressed the City Council regarding his concern about
the MPCA and the Logan Avenue site. Mr. Dahn stated the MPCA is spending a lot of time
doing testing for ground water pollution, and that it has been going on since 2005. The MPCA
first set up their testing labs, of which one of their wells is located by his property, with an
approximate 8 inch round pipe that extends to the water table that is very ugly and rusting. He
stated the worst part is it seems like the MPCA is never ending with their testing. He stated his
request is that he would like to have the City set up another meeting with the MPCA. He
expressed his concern that he is not able to sell his house because he must declare that he is
sitting on a polluted ground water situation.

10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS
10a. RESOLUTION NO. 2012-108 RECEIVING PROPOSED CHARTER
AMENDMENT AND CALLING A SPECIAL ELECTION THEREON
City Manager Curt Boganey introduced the item, reviewed its history, and explained the purpose
of the resolution to accept the proposed Charter amendment and calling a special election on
Tuesday, November 6, 2012.
Councilmember Kleven expressed her preference for Election Question Alternative 44. She
noted the key word in this option is "changing," and that the language is clear and precise.
08/13/12 -5- DRAFT
i
Councilmember Lasman concurred. She stated she would like it to be clear to the voters that this
would actually be a change to the Charter.
Councilmember Myszkowski concurred. She expressed concern that many people are not aware
of what it would mean to change to a ward system.
Councilmember Ryan stated he is considering Election Question Alternative #4. He offered the
following language as an alternative: "Shall the form of Brooklyn Center City Government be
changed by adopting an amendment to the City Charter requiring the election of City Council
Members by ward?"
Councilmember Ryan stated Brooklyn Center is small enough in size that wards are not needed,
and that each member of the City Council represents the whole City. He stated his position that
candidates who run at large for City Council must learn the issues in every corner of the City.
He further stated that there should be consideration of the high cost of changing to a ward system
for no apparent benefit. He noted that he is curious about the process by which this was brought
forward, with no public hearings held by the Charter Commission as to whether the public would
like this change.
Councilmember Lasman commented on the similar language in Election Question Alternative#4
and Councilmember Ryan's suggestion.
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to approve
RESOLUTION NO. 2012-108 Receiving Proposed Charter Amendment and Calling a Special
Election Thereon, with Election Alternative#4 as the approved language.
Mayor Willson stated he has reviewed the Charter Commission minutes back to 1965. In 1976,
the Charter Commission Subcommittee conducted a very in-depth study, looking at all sides of
this issue and concluded that a ward system was not appropriate at that time given the size of
Brooklyn Center and how it is split into four different sections with the major highways. There
have been at least two studies since then. This Charter Commission has taken it upon itself to
take this to vote by the citizens; however, he has yet to see any documentation where the
Commission has studied the issue extensively. He stated he has seen comments about how it
would be less expensive and easier to run in smaller areas. He has also seen comments regarding
the diverse community electing individuals who are not Caucasian, which is the minority based
on the last census. He stated he feels by going to a ward system there would be less
representation than there is with all City Council Members being at-large. He pointed out that an
additional piece that the Charter Commission is asking for in this change, which is not included
in the language, is that if the ward system is adopted, each ward member will be able to appoint,
at their discretion, an individual on any and all of the City's commissions. In this case, they
would not only have a divisive ward system put in place, but also City government and its
commissions potentially being put into a divisive state. He stated Brooklyn Center has gotten
through 100 years, and that the City Council has represented the City well in those 100 years.
He also believes the current City Council is representing the City well. He stated he believes
there is more behind this Charter Commission language than just putting in a fair system for the
election of City Council Members.
08/13/12 -6- DRAFT
i
Councilmember Lasman stated another burden to operating under the ward system would be the
redistricting that could be required to be in compliance with the ward boundaries. She stated her
position that the ward system is not in the citizens' best interest.
Mayor Willson pointed out that every two years, individuals in Brooklyn Center have been able
to vote for two City Council Members and the Mayor-at-Large. However, under the ward
system they would still vote for the Mayor-at-Large, but only one City Council member from
their ward.
Councilmember Kleven noted with the current system an individual running for City Council
that comes in second place would still be on the City Council, but this would not be the case with
the ward system.
Councilmember Myszkowski stated she is deeply concerned that should this amendment pass it
would cause an undue burden on City administration.
Mayor Willson commented it is ultimately up to the voters in November, and the City Council
will abide by what the voters decide.
Motion passed unanimously.

COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 27, 2012
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Vickie Schleuning,Asistant City Manager/Director of Building& Community
Standards
SUBJECT: Resolution Declaring a Public Nuisance and Ordering the Removal of Diseased
Trees
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council declare a public nuisance and order the removal of
diseased trees for certain properties as listed in the resolution.
Background:
The attached resolution represents the official Council action required to expedite removal of
diseased trees that were recently marked by the City Tree Inspector. The City of Brooklyn
Center has maintained a policy of removing and properly disposing of diseased trees in order to
prevent tree diseases from spreading throughout the community. The removal of diseased trees
is defined in City Ordinance Chapter 20-301to 20-306. Although the City has historically
focused on Dutch Elm disease, other transmissible diseases and infestations are addressed as
well.
Property owners are given the opportunity to remove the diseased tree on their own or enter an
agreement to allow the city to remove the diseased tree. Where an agreement with the property
owner is executed, a minimal administrative charge of$50 is applied to the costs associated with
the tree removal.
After a diseased tree is declared a public nuisance by the City Council, another Compliance
Notice will be provided to the property owner allowing additional time, at least five days, for
voluntary correction, again providing an option for an agreement with the City. If the property
owner does not correct the violation or enter into an agreement,the City will remove the
diseased tree. An administrative abatement service charge will be charged based on the cost of
the abatement,with a minimum charge of$150.
Budget Issues:
The City's share of the cost of removal for diseased trees within the public right-of-way and on
City property is included in the 2012 budget under the Public Works Forestry operating budget.
The cost of removal for diseased trees located on private property is the responsibility of the

TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager

THROUGH Gary Eitel, Director of Business and Development
SUBJECT: Performance Guarantee Release—Nor-Web LLP (Thomas J. Weber)
Evans-Nordby Funeral Home - 6000 Brooklyn Boulevard
Planning Application No. 2003-008 and 2011-019
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the release of the Performance Guarantee
posted by Tom Weber of Nor-Web LLP for those site improvements made to the Evans—Nordby
Funeral Home business, located at 6000 Brooklyn Boulevard.
Background:
On June 9, 2003, the City Council approved Planning Application No. 2003-008, a new Special
Use Permit to Mr. Weber/Nor-Web LLP, which allowed an off-site parking facility to the
existing funeral home business. This special use permit was approved based on certain
conditions and requirements, one of which related to the posting of a financial guarantee; a
number of site improvements such as screening and landscaping; and a requirement the Owners
would re-plat the three separate parcels used by the Evans-Nordby business into one single
parcel or lot of record.
On August 26, 2003, Mr. Thomas Weber, on behalf of Nor-Web LLP entered into a Performance
Agreement with the City of Brooklyn Center and filed with the City evidence of a $22,500.00
cash bond to be held as a guarantee for completing these site improvements and insure the re-
platting of the property. This cash bond was delivered, deposited and held by the City since
acceptance of this Performance Agreement.
On December 12, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2011-171, which approved the
preliminary plat of EVANS NORDBY ADDITION, conditioned upon the Owner (Mr. Weber)
would provide additional sidewalk easements, remove a driveway and restore the disturbed areas
near the intersection of 60th Avenue and Brooklyn Boulevard,
On August 13, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-105, which approved the
final plat of EVANS NORDBY ADDITION. Due to the recent change of ownership to the
funeral home site, the properties are now doing business under T.J. Weber Properties, LLC. The
City recently released the final plat and easement documents to Mr. Weber for recording. The
City is conditioning the release of these funds noted herein only upon receipt or acknowledgment
Aiission:Ensuring an attractive,clean,safe,inclusive eommunity that enhances the dualit o
y f life
for all people and preserves the public trust
COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
that Hennepin County has accepted and recorded the plat and all related easement documents.
The $22,500 funds are expected to be returned to Thomas J. Weber.
All required conditions and work related to the plat approvals have been fulfilled or completed,
including the driveway removal, landscaping, site restoration, screening, utilities, and easement
dedications. The as-built survey has been completed or accepted by the City Engineer/Public
Works Department and Business & Development Department.
Budget Issues:
There are no budget issues to consider.

COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 23, 2012
TO: Curt Bo ane Y� City Manager
FROM: Kevin Benner, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Acceptance of Auto Theft Prevention Grant amendment
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council accept the additional award of the Auto Theft
Prevention Grant from the Office of Justice Programs for the purchase of two license plate
readers.
Background:
The Office of Justice Programs awarded the City of Brooklyn Center Police Department the
Auto Theft Prevention Grant in the amount of$103,604,which was approved by the City
Council resolution 2011-150 on November 14,2011. This award pays for the staff costs of the
Auto Theft Officer until it expires on June 30,2013.
Since that award,the City was made aware that additional funding had been made available
from this grant for the purchase of equipment used to reduce auto theft.
The City applied for two automatic license plate readers totaling$48,370 and received notice
on July 30, 2012 that Brooklyn Center was awarded this additional amount for equipment.
The automated license plate readers are camera devices that are attached to squad cars to read
license plates on vehicles seen in public. These devices are able to read hundreds of plates an
hour. The plates that are read are sent to the squad computer and checked against a state list of
wanted or stolen vehicles in a matter of seconds. At this time,the auto plate readers will be
programmed to search for wanted or stolen plates only and will not store data regarding the
locations of where the plates were read.
This additional award brings the total Auto Theft Prevention Grant amount to $151,974.
The Auto Theft Prevention program supports the efforts of law enforcement, prosecutors, and
non-profit organizations for the goal of reducing the incidence of auto theft in Minnesota.
Budget Issues:
The additional grant award is $48,370. There are no financial commitments required by the
City.
Council Goals:
Strategic:
1. We will ensure a safe and secure community
Ongoing:
1. We will provide streamlined,cost effective, quality services with limited resources.

Background:
On August 16, 2012 the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on Planning
Commission Application No. 2012-017. At this meeting, a planning report was presented, along
with a visual presentation of the proposed PUD plans. A public hearing was opened and public
comments received, which were all noted for the record (see attached 08/16/12 PC Minutes).
The Planning Commission considered both elements of this new PUD, which includes the
rezoning and development/site plan of the subject site. This development/site plan involves the
modification and addition of a new parking lot to accommodate 25 new parking stalls to the
property located north of the proposed restaurant site. The Developer in this PUD request
acquired this property to the north (6915 Brooklyn Blvd.) and intends to remove the functionally
j obsolete residential structure on this property to make room for this additional parking area.
Mission:Ensuring an attractive,cleall,safe,inchlsive eonununio) that enhances the quaNtr'of llf�

i
COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
The PUD was necessary to provide the Developer with needed "flexibility" in meeting certain
site design criterion, specifically a reduced buffer space requirement from the adjacent
residential zoned properties and a reduced parking setback from Brooklyn Blvd. right-of-way.
At the September 24, 2012 public hearing date, the City Council will provide final consideration
of this PUD rezoning and the related final development/site plan.
Attached for the City Council's review is the August 161h Planning Commission Report
regarding Planning Application No. 2012-017, along with Planning Commission Resolution No.
2012-018, in which the Commission adopted a favorable and unanimous recommendation of the
PUD rezoning and development/site plan.
Budget Issues:
There are no budget issues to consider.
Council Goals:
Strategic:
1. We will proceed aggressively with implementation of City's redevelopment plans.
4. We will improve the city's image.

Planning Commission Report Application Filed on 07/18/12
Meeting Date: August 16,2012 City Council action should be
taken by 09/17/12 (60 Days)
Application No. 2012-017
Applicant: Omar Abuisnaineh
Location: 6901 - 6915 Brooklyn Boulevard
Request: Rezoning from C-1 (Service/Office) and C-2 (Commerce)to PUD/C-2 (Planned Unit
Development—Commerce) and Approval of new Development/Site Plan
INTRODUCTION
Omar Abuisnaineh is requesting rezoning from C-1 (Service/Office) and C-2 (Commerce) to
new PUD/C-2 (Planned Unit Development—Commerce) and approval of new Development/Site
Plan. Along with this zoning request is the consideration of a related Development/Site Plan of a
parking lot addition to the existing 3,700 sq. ft. retail building. This PUD is planned for the
expansion of the subject site to accommodate a new sit-down/convenience food restaurant
facility, with continued drive-thru window services. The property is located at 6901 Brooklyn
Boulevard.
This report will provide background information, an analysis, and suggested recommendations to
this rezoning and development/site plan request. This item is being presented under a public
hearing, with proper notice published in the local newspaper and mailed to the surrounding
property owners.
BACKGROUND
The 6901 Brooklyn Blvd. property was the former Starbuck Coffee restaurant site, which was
approved in 2006 and completed in 2007. The original intent of this 3,700 sf. building was to
accommodate a new Starbucks coffee shop along with one or two other speculative retail/service
tenants. These tenant spaces never materialized and the Starbucks closed down in 2010 after
three years of business. The main parcel is 0.58 acres (25,414 sf.) in area and is currently zoned
C2 (Commerce). The adjacent 6915 Brooklyn Blvd. is 0.22 acre (9,635 s£) lot, which used to
contain a small residential dwelling(now removed) is situated in the C1 (Service-Office)zone.
The Applicant is proposing a new "Slim's Pizza" restaurant, with indoor seating and drive-thru
service lane, and is currently remodeling the entire building area and must expand the on-site
parking to accommodate additional indoor/customer seating. To provide this additional parking,
the Applicant acquired the residential home to the north of the subject site, which has since been
removed and awaits redevelopment of the additional parking area.

PUD CONSIDERATIONS
The Planned Unit Development process involves the rezoning of land to the PUD designation
followed by an alpha numeric designation of the underlying zoning district. This underlying
zoning district provides the regulations governing uses and structures within the Planned Unit
Development. The rules and regulations governing that district (in this case C-2) would apply to
the development proposal. One of the purposes of the PUD district is to give the City the needed
flexibility in allowing Developers to address specific site redevelopment issues or problems.
Regulations governing uses and structures may be modified by conditions ultimately imposed by
the City Council on the development plans. The Planning Commission's attention is directed to
Section 35-355 of the city's zoning ordinance, which addresses Planned Unit Developments.
In this particular case, the Applicant is seeking modifications to allow a less than 15 ft. parking
setback and green-strip requirement along a public street line, or this case, a 10-foot
setback/green-strip from Brooklyn Boulevard; and allow a substantial reduction to the required
35-foot buffer requirements where a C2 development abuts an R1 district.
The less than 15 ft. green strip along Brooklyn Boulevard is consistent with other city approvals
that have allowed such a green strip along a major thoroughfare where decorative screen walls or
other screening devices have been used. According to previous city approved developments and
PC 08-16-12
Page 2 of 16
planning reports, the Brooklyn Boulevard Market development directly across the street (east) of
the subject site, was approved with a reduced parking setback along Brooklyn Blvd. subject to
the developers proving a combined wrought-iron fence with decorative brick pillars, filled in
with various types of landscaping shrubs (See attached Area Street Level Photos). A few
commercial developments in the old Brookdale Mall area situated along Xerxes Avenue and
County Road 10 were allowed reduced green-strip or parking setbacks subject to these added
screening devices. Also, a gas station was originally designed and approved for this same
northwest corner of 691h and Brooklyn Boulevard (never built) and yet it too was approved with
less than 15-ft. green strip offset by a 3 '/2 ft. high decorative wall. Provisions for screening
devices and suggested alternatives will be made later in this report, under the Site and Building
Plan review.
REZONING ANALYSIS
The subject site is surrounded by Cl properties to the north, RI-One Family and R-4 Multiple
Family Residence to the west; C2 to the south; and PUD/C2 to the east. The current land use
designation of this site is under the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan is OS/RB (Office-Service
Business and Retail Business).

With the two differing commercial zoning districts affecting these properties, and Mr.
Abuisaineh's desire to combine these two properties into one single (user) parcel, along with the
need to reduce setbacks and buffers for the parking area, Planning Staff recommended the
Applicant submit an application requesting a new PUD. The benefit of this PUD will provide a
new single zoning over the two parcels, but also provide some flexibility to Mr. Abuisnaineh's
redevelopment/expansion plans presented under this PUD Development/Site Plan. The
combining of these two parcels will be considered under separate application for a new
preliminary plat to be titled "Monty Addition".

As with all rezoning requests, the Planning Commission must review the proposal based on the
Rezoning Evaluation Policy and Review Guidelines contained in the zoning ordinance. The
policy states that rezoning classifications must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan
and must not constitute "spot zoning", which is defined as a zoning decision which discriminates
in favor of a particular land owner and does not relate to the Comprehensive Plan or accepted
planning principals. Each rezoning proposal must be considered on its merits and measured
against the City's policy and against the various guidelines, which have been established for
rezoning review.
The following is a review of the rezoning guidelines contained in the zoning ordinance as we
believe they relate to the applicant's comments and their proposal:
a. Is there a clear and public need or benefit?
It is staff's opinion that this development proposal can be seen as meeting a clear and public
need or benefit as it is consistent with the redevelopment criteria established by the City and
also consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The planned improvements on the site
will provide an opportunity to the Applicant to successfully expand and install additional
parking needed for his new restaurant, and eliminate a vacant building site along this
important arterial roadway system. The redevelopment will provide an increase to the tax
base in the community and may provide additional full-time employment opportunities.
Staff believes this development will not be a detriment to the neighborhood, and should have
a positive effect on the community. The restaurant and parking expansion proposed by the
Applicant are certainly consistent with what is acknowledged in the Comprehensive Plan;
and the combination of the two parcels under a unified (new) Planned Unit Development
designation rather than using the standard zoning, provides the flexibility the Applicant seeks
in expanding this site. Overall, this development plan is compatible with the goals and
policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan and underlying land use plan.
b. Is the proposed zoning consistent and compatible with the surrounding land use
classifications?
Staff believes the proposed PUD zoning would be consistent with other surrounding land
uses, as the existing building will remain and the parking is a simple expansion of this use.
The current Cl and C2 zoning have been in place for a number of years, and combination of
these two parcels under a unified PUD/C2 zoning should not cause any real disruptions or
negative impacts upon the surrounding uses. The expansion of the parking is minimal and
should also have little to no effect on these surrounding land uses, including the single family
uses. In fact, the single family (residential) uses to the north in the C1 Zone are legal non-
conforming uses by City Code, and the other remaining R1 single-family and R4 areas are
planned to become OS/RB uses in the future.
c. Can all proposed uses in the proposed zoning district be contemplated for development
of the subject property?
Under this proposed PUD and the related development/site plan, the proposed use as a
PC 08-16-12
Page 4 of 16
restaurant and parking area all allowable and permitted uses in the C2 District. The creation
of this PUD will allow for limited flexibility to the Applicant in providing reduced buffer
requirements, which will be addressed under the Development/Site Plan review. The City
will identify and provide under a future PUD agreement certain restrictions and uses allowed
or approved for this site, and may identify and provide for needed standards or requirements
as the development dictates or as the Planning Commission and City Council require.
d. Have there been substantial physical or zoning classification changes in this area since
the subject property was zoned?
In terms of physical and/or zoning classification changes, this area of Brooklyn Boulevard
(including the subject site and the immediate surrounding properties) has seen some of the
most significant changes approved or experienced by the City, especially the last 10-12
years.
In the early 1990's, the City commissioned a Brooklyn Boulevard Amenities Study, which
planned for certain roadway and amenity improvements along this corridor, from I-694
northward. Brooklyn Boulevard began seeing improvement installed in 2000-2002 as part of
the Hennepin County project, which included widening the roadway, new medians, trails and
sidewalks and decorative street lighting. The project also included the City's coordination of
various landscape amenities as part of this reconstruction, which included landscaping nodes
placed at the corners; colored concrete pavers; ornamental iron fences; ornamental benches;
landscaping islands, and ornamental pedestrian light fixtures. Most of these improvements
are evident today, especially in and around this Brooklyn Blvd. and 69ttt Avenue intersection.
In 2002, the `Boulevard Market" properties to the east of the subject site (directly across
from Brooklyn Boulevard) were developed, which included a rezoning of a number of R1
One Family Residence properties along with various commercial establishments zoned as C2
(Commerce), all of which were combined (replatted) and rezoned into a new overall PUD/C2
district. The PUD plans approved a 3,960 s£ Super-America convenience store/gas
station/car wash; a 4,230 sf.restaurant or retail building; a 4,538 sf. Culver's Restaurant; and
a 21,500 sf. multi-tenant retail building. Most of this development is complete except for the
4,230 s£ retail site. As part of this PUD plan approvals, the City authorized the reduction of
parking/drive aisle setbacks and green strips along the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor, plus a
significant reduction in the 35-foot buffer requirements from the adjacent residential
neighborhood.
Another significant change farther away, but near the area is the Northwest Family Services
Center/CEAP office improvements at the corner of Brooklyn Blvd. and 71St Avenue N. This
new PUD allowed the use of specific setback standards to provide green and open space
areas from the existing neighborhood, flexibility in the location of interior lot lines, parking
and structured parking setbacks, and the ability to deviate from the dedication of the standard
side yard drainage and utility easements.
One of the most significant and recent change in the area occurred in 2011, when the City re-
authorized the PUD rezoning and an updated Development/Site and Building plans for the
i
PC 08-16-12
Page 5 of 16
new Luther Honda and Luther Toyota City dealerships, which are located at the southeast
corner of Brooklyn Boulevard and 69th Avenue (kiddy-corner from the subject).
Brooklyn Boulevard, from I-694 to the south city boundary line, is currently undergoing its
own separate and extensive evaluation and corridor study by a city consultant firm. The
report intends to provide a number of findings and recommendations regarding land use and
zoning issues; traffic, transportation and intersection improvements; sidewalk and trail
options; and landscaping and lighting options or alternatives. At this time, there are no other
major or significant changes to the area of Brooklyn Boulevard near the subject site.
e. In the case of City initiated rezoning proposals, is there a broad public purpose
evident?
This evaluation criterion is not applicable in this case because it is not a City initiated
rezoning proposal, but rather a developer initiated proposal.
L Will the subject property bear fully the ordinance development restrictions for the
proposed zoning district?
We believe that, the proposal will bear fully the development restrictions for this Planned
Unit Development without any significant deviations or modifications from the standard
ordinance requirements. The property line abutments will have sufficient buffer, setback and
screening as called for in the ordinance.
g. Is the subject property generally unsuited for uses permitted in the present zoning
district with respect to size, configuration,topography or location?
As noted previously, the subject site currently contains a 3,700 sq. ft. retail building, a 20-car
parking lot; and a 0.22 acre vacant parcel of land. The combined area of the two parcels will
be approx. 0.8 acres. The approvals of the former Starbucks/multi-tenant retail building on
the main parcel site was evaluated and met the zoning and development standards established
under the C2 zoning district in 2006. The continuation of this use and expansion of the
building's parking area is generally suited for this area and those permitted under the current
[underlying] C1 and C2 zoning districts.
The Applicant intends to combine these two parcels together under a replatting process,
which eliminates another driveway conflict onto Brooklyn Boulevard. Generally speaking, it
is the City's position that inappropriate single family residential uses in the Brooklyn
Boulevard corridor should be replaced with other uses. Numerous access points for single
family residential homes on Brooklyn Boulevard cause potential traffic problems.
Consolidating, eliminating and reducing access points on Brooklyn Boulevard are considered
a benefit. To continue with the residential use would be inappropriate. Consolidation is
necessary for commercial redevelopment.
h. Will the rezoning result in an expansion of a zoning district warranted by: 1.
Comprehensive Planning; 2. Lack of developable land in the proposed zoning district,
or; 3. The best interest of the community?
PC 08-16-12
Page 6 of 16
i
III
The new PUD/C2 zoning should comply with the current 2030 Comprehensive Plan,
particularly the land use plan, which identifies this area, and the entire block, as a preferred
OS/RB land use. The Applicant's desire of combining parcels along Brooklyn Boulevard
works best to effectively control development and traffic in this busy corridor. Through the
Planned Unit Development process, the City can negotiate controls of land use as promotion
to the community's best interests. A restaurant or retail land use falls reasonably within the
established surrounding land uses and for those planned in this sector of the city.
In general, Staff would support this PUD proposal as it does appear to have merit beyond just
the particular interests of the developer and should lead to redevelopment that can be
considered consistent and compatible with surrounding land uses. The proposal is consistent
with the City's Comprehensive Plan for this area and can be considered in the best interests
of the community.
i. Does the proposal demonstrate merit beyond the interests of an owner or owners of an
individual parcel?
Staff believes that the new zoning has merit beyond just the particular interests of the City
and/or the developer(s), in that it provides an ideal opportunity for a planned unit
development which provides for an ideal opportunity to keep a relatively new commercial
building intact, occupied and functional for its intended use. This new PUD zoning will
assist in the redevelopment and transformation of this site that can be consistent and
compatible with surrounding land uses. The zoning would provide an opportunity for quality
development that is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and be considered in the
general best interests of the community.
DEVELOPMENT PLAN/SITE & BUILDING PLAN REVIEW
The Development Plan for this PUD is relatively simple. The plans call for leaving the main
building intact, with no major changes to the exterior or main parking areas. The primary
improvements to be made include adding 25 new parking stalls on the newly acquired lot at 6915
Brooklyn Blvd.; extending and installing new screening fence and landscaping along the
westerly and northerly perimeters of the site; and closing off the old driveway that served 6915
Brooklyn Blvd. Afterwards, the site will have 38 new and existing stalls to serve this restaurant
use.
❖ BUILDING
The Applicant's building is primarily a 4 x 8 inch field brick, red in color exterior in combination
with a smooth finish concrete masonry unit, limestone in color. The rear of the building is a
concrete masonry unit painted to match the field brick color. Anodized aluminum storefront
system with insulated aluminum panels are proposed at the southeast corner of the building with
anodized storefront. There are no changes or additions planned for this building, other than
those improvements being made under an interior remodeling [building] permit.
i
PC 08-16-12

I
❖ ACCESS/PARKING
Access to the subject site is to be gained through two 24 ft. wide curb cuts, one located at the
northerly portion of the site along Brooklyn Boulevard and the other on the southerly portion of
the property on 69th Avenue North. These are both right-in/right-out only accesses due to the
existing medians in Brooklyn Boulevard and 69th Avenue North, both of which roadways are
controlled by Hennepin County. HC officials have indicated that only one access would be
granted to this site off each roadway segment, and median cuts to allow full-turning movements
would not be warranted or allowed at this time.
Vehicles entering the site from Brooklyn Blvd. and wishing to park will have the ability to go
straight, left or right and locate a parking space. Vehicles that wish to use the drive-thru service
lane will need to turn right, maneuver around the northerly parking drive-aisle and enter into the
re-established drive-thru lane along the westerly boundary of the subject site. The drive-thru
service lane as it exists today is being shut-off to accommodate this new traffic movement, as a
recommendation by the City Engineer. Vehicles that enter from the south will have no option
but to turn right into the parking area, and may choose to either park or drive northerly through
the remaining parking areas and enter the drive-thru service lane as noted previously.
The site plans to incorporate 3 8 total parking spaces. The new restaurant [building permit] plans
indicate seating for 68 patrons. Code requires 1 space per 2 seats, plus 1 space for each 2
employees. The Applicant indicated that up to 4-6 employees will serve the restaurant at one
time, and required parking should be calculated as follows:
• 68 seats/2= 34 spaces
• 6 employees/2=3 spaces
® Required number of parking=37 spaces.
The City allowed restaurants in the new Shingle Creek Crossing development to park at 10
spaces per 1,000 s£ of GFA—or in this case: 3,700/1000= 3.7 x 10 = 37 spaces.
The drive-up lane servicing the existing food pick-up window will remain on the west side of the
building and maintained as a one-way drive. Two way driving lanes will serve the parking
adjacent to Brooklyn Boulevard and on the north end of the site. Traffic control signs indicating
the one way nature of this drive-thru lane, along with painted arrows on the parking surfaces,
will need to remain or be posted at the southerly end of the building.
❖ GRADING/DRAINAGE/UTILITIES
The applicant has provided preliminary grading, drainage,utility and erosion control plans which
have been reviewed by the Director of Public Works/City Engineer. These comments are
attached for the Commission's review. Sanitary sewer and water connections are existing and
there are no changes anticipated with this PUD improvement plan. The new parking area is
panned to have two new storm-water catch basins installed, and connections made to the site's
existing storm water systems. B-612 curb and gutter is to be provided around all driving and
PC 08-16-12

i
parking areas in accordance with city ordinances.
•:° LANDSCAPING/SCREENING
Landscaping is based upon the Landscape Point System used by the City in any new multi-
family, retail/service or industrial development. For restaurant/retail/service uses, sites under 2
acres are required to provide up to 80 landscape points. When the existing building was
constructed in 2007, the site and building plan was approved with 80 landscape points, which
consisted of four Swamp White Oak trees, two Scotch Pines and one Black Hills Spruce, four
Spring Snow Crab and 44 shrubs including Dwarf Burning Bush, Ivory Halo Dogwood, Endless
Summer Hydrangea, and Teschney Arborvitae. For all intents and purposes, this site met these
landscaping requirements at that time.
Even with the additional parcel to the north and parking area, the site would still need to attain
80- points, and existing/remaining trees may be counted or calculated towards meeting this point
system. The applicant did not submit a separate landscape plan as part of this PUD plan packet,
but does provide landscaping notes or items on the Dimension/Removal Plan and Grading Plan.
The Applicant intends to plant four additional deciduous trees along Brooklyn Blvd.; three
coniferous trees near the northwest coiner; and five new shrubs along the north boundary line.
Pursuant to City Code Sect. 35-711 — Parking Lot Screening- all parking areas abutting
residential lots must be screened by a solid wall or opaque fence at least 6-feet in height. The
main building site (6901 Brooklyn Blvd.) currently has a 6-foot high, white vinyl maintenance
free screening fence along the westerly and northerly boundary lines. This fence was installed as i
part of the site and building plan approvals of 2006. As part of this PUD consideration, Staff is
requiring that a similar style fence be used to screen the new expanded parking areas from these
other residential uses.

As noted in the PUD Considerations section of this report, other developments throughout the
City were allowed with reduced buffers or parking/green-strips setbacks when it was deemed
appropriate or reasonable, and in some cases if added screening measures/devices were provided.
Under this PUD process, the City can prescribe reasonable alternatives or measures as part of
any "trade-off' in allowing reduced buffers or setbacks. In Staff's opinion, the extension of the
6-foot high [maintenance-free] fencing along the westerly and northerly lines appears adequate
and should provide suitable buffering from the abutting residential uses. The approvals of the
original Starbuck's Coffee shop site did not require any added screening or landscaping along
Brooklyn Boulevard or 69th Avenue, primarily because the development met the required 15-foot
setbacks along these roadways.
If the City should agree to accept these reduced setbacks and buffers, additional screening along
Brooklyn Boulevard may be warranted. Due to the fact vehicles will be parked facing out
towards Brooklyn Blvd. and headlight wash could be potentially an issue, Staff would suggest
the Applicant provide additional screening along this area. Options could include a similar
picket style fencing as seen along the adjacent neighboring R4 property located at 4408 — 69th
Avenue North (see attached photo) or a similar style wrought-iron fencing and landscaping
screening as seen across the street in the Brooklyn Market development. The new fencing would
only need to be approximately 3 to 3-%2 -feet in height, with said fence/landscaping installed
within the proposed 10-foot green-strip portion between the new parking lot area and Brooklyn
Blvd. Should the Commission feel more inclined, this fencing/landscaping screen could be
extended all along the other portions of the existing parking areas, all the way down to the 3-car
space area located near the southeast corner. The Planning Commission should make a
determination as to the adequacy of the screening plan and provide recommendations on this
plan at the public hearing.
LIGHTING/TRASH
City ordinance require that all exterior lighting be provided with lenses, reflectors or down-cast
shades so as to concentrate illumination on the property. Illumination is not permitted at an
intensity level greater than 3 foot candles measured at property lines abutting residentially zoned
property. A submittal and review of a photometric plan indicating,all new and existing lighting
must be submitted prior to any issuance of building permits. The Applicant did not submit a
detailed lighting plan for this site, but due to the relatively small nature (size) of the new parking
are, Staff is confident all new lighting should be minimal and will meet or exceed those
requirements established under Section 35-712 of the city ordinances. This review and final
considerations can be accomplished under building/land disturbance permit review.
i
All trash is handled in the existing trash enclosure area located along the southwest corner of the
building. There are no plans to relocate this enclosure to the new parking areas.

RECOMMENDATION
For all intents and purposes, the rezoning element of this combined PUD application (rezoning
and site plan) can be given a favorable recommendation by City Staff, since we believe the
rezoning portion meets the criterion used to evaluate such change, and the proposed concept plan
associated with this PUD would be an acceptable means of achieving what the Applicant seeks
in the redevelopment of this site.
With that in mind, Staff recommends the Planning Commission consider the zoning change of
this site from Cl (Service-Office) and C2 (Commerce) to new PUD/C2 (Planned Unit
Development — Commerce) district, based on the following findings, which are also
memorialized in the attached Planning Commission Resolution No. 2012-18:
A. The proposed rezoning appears to demonstrate a clear and public need or benefit to the
community and regional area, as it will improve the appearance of the city and enhance
the quality of life,property values and civic pride in this neighborhood area;
B. The rezoning and its related development proposal will not be a detriment to the
neighborhood, and should provide a positive effect on the community; subject to the site
plan issues being fully resolved by the City and Applicants;
C. The rezoning will facilitate the redevelopment plan of this site, which will be compatible
with the goals and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan and underlying land use
plan.
D. The proposed zoning is consistent and compatible with the surrounding land use
classifications;
E. The proposed rezoning will provide an opportunity to provide an ideal redevelopment of
a targeted area for the community's commercial sector, especially within the Brooklyn
Boulevard corridor area, and will help stimulate new investments in the neighborhood
and community.
F. The proposed rezoning will enhance and strengthen City Center's economic viability and
status in the regional market place by the following supporting statements:
i. helps to increase employment opportunities, tax base and eliminates a vacant
commercial building site;
ii. provides for the redevelopment of a potentially obsolete and underutilized site
into a use(s)that address needs in the marketplace;
iii. The proposed rezoning and related development plan will provide an opportunity
to create a new zoning district provides for a more flexible use of the commercial
site and which encourages good design. {
i
PC 08-16-12

With these findings, Staff recommends the Planning Commission provide a recommendation to
the City Council to authorize the change of zoning of the subject site from Cl (Service-Office)
and C2 (Commerce)to PUD/C2 (Planned Unit Development—Commerce) district, and approval
of the related Development/Site Plan of the subject site, subject to the following conditions:
i
1. All conditions noted in the City Engineer's Review Memorandum (dated 08/06/12) and
all other subsequent or updated conditions required by the City Engineer are submitted
and/or fulfilled.
2. The Applicant must apply for and receive final plat approval to combine the two parcels
under this PUD. No work on the parking area will be permitted unless authorized by the
City Engineer.
3. The Applicant shall provide additional opaque screening fence, minimum 6-feet in
height, along the entire westerly and northerly boundaries of the subject site.
4. Applicant shall provide additional fencing and/or screening to a minimum of 3 to 3.5 feet
in height within the 10-foot green-strip setback area between the new parking area and
Brooklyn Boulevard. Landscaping will be installed along this fencing area and be
adjusted accordingly to the new fence's opacity, with plant materials and amount to be
determined and approved by the City's Business and Development Director.
5. The Applicant shall submit a photometric plan for all new lighting on this site. All new
lighting shall meet or exceed those requirements established under Section 35-712 of the
City Ordinance. The review and final considerations must be completed under the
building permit and/or land disturbance permit review.
I
6. The rezoning is subject to the successful acceptance and approval by the City Council of
the final development/site plan proposed for the subject site.
7. The Applicant shall enter into and execute a new PUD development agreement as
prepared by the City Attorney.

Meeting Date: August 16,2012 taken by 09/17/12 (60 Days)
Application No. 2012-018
Applicant: Omar Abuisnaineh
Location: 6901 - 6915 Brooklyn Boulevard
Request: Preliminary Plat for MONTY ADDITION
i
INTRODUCTION
Omar Abuisnaineh is seeking Preliminary Plat approval to replat two parcels into one, large
single lot for his proposed "Slim's Pizza" restaurant business, located at 6901 Brooklyn
Boulevard. A public hearing is scheduled for this item, and notices were mailed to the
surrounding property owners.
ANALYSIS
The proposed preliminary plat is for the two properties generally located at the northwest corner
of Brooklyn Boulevard and 69th Avenue North. The two properties are identified as 6901
Brooklyn Blvd. and 6915 Brooklyn Blvd. The plat proposes a new Lot 1, Block 1, MONTY
ADDITION.
The Applicant has submitted for related consideration and approval a new planned unit
development, which is scheduled to be heard by the Planning Commission this same night, and
later by the City Council on August 27,2012. Prior to the submittal of this PUD and Preliminary
Plat applications, the Applicant acquired the residential property to the north (6915) of this site,
with the expressed intention of removing the dwelling and expanding the parking for the benefit
of the new restaurant.
As part of his new PUD plan, the Applicant was required to combine the two parcels included as
part of this overall redevelopment project. The main parcel (6901 Brooklyn Blvd.) is the former
Starbuck's Coffee shop and retail business building site, consisting of 0.58 acres (or 25,414 sf.);
and is currently situated in the C2 (Commerce) district. The adjacent 6915 Brooklyn Blvd. is a
0.22 acre (9,635 sf.) lot, which previously had a small residential dwelling (now removed), and
which is situated in the C1 (Service-Office) district. The combined area of these two tracts is
0.8 acres. There are no changes or expansions planned for the building itself, except for the
remodeling of the interior for the restaurant use.
The subject site is surrounded by C1 properties to the north, RI-One Family and R-4 Multiple
Family Residence to the west; C2 to the south; and PUD/C2 to the east. The current land use
designation of this site is under the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan is OS/RB (Office-Service
Business and Retail Business).
Sewer and water are both available from 69th Avenue North Avenue. The new restaurant site
PC 08/16/12
Pagel of 2
and parking areas should be adequately served by the existing city water and sewer systems, and
all new storm-water features and improvements will be provided in the new parking lot areas.
As evident by the submitted preliminary plat map, it appears that the original and existing lot
lines for Lot 2, Block 1, Cady Addition, extend out into the right-hand turn lane for the Brooklyn
Boulevard onto 69th Avenue North. Furthermore, the sidewalks and easements along 69th
Avenue are inside the lot lines, when normally they need to be outside the property lines. Staff
assumes that Hennepin County will request additional dedication of this property with a
combination of roadway and sidewalk easements. Planning Staff assumes these areas will be
reconciled under the final plat review and approvals, which ultimately have to be accepted by
Hennepin County officials.
The preliminary plat illustrates a number of perimeter drainage and utility easements, which are
typical of these types of replats. The preliminary plat map has reviewed by the City Engineer,
and his review memorandum is attached for reference. Staff assumes many of these items will
be addressed or completed as part of the final plat process.
I
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2012-19, which
comprehends the approval of Planning Application No. 2012-018, which proposes a Preliminary
Plat for MONTY ADDITION, subject to the following conditions:
1. All recommendations and conditions as noted in the City Engineer's review
memorandum, dated August 6, 2012, shall be complied with or completed as part
of any final plat approvals.
2. Any easements to be vacated under this platting process must be considered under
separate and formal City easement vacation process, with all documentations,
descriptions, and exhibits singed by a licensed surveyor.
3. The final plat shall be subject to review and final approvals by the City Engineer,
prior to release by the City for recording purposes.
4. The final plat shall be subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City
Ordinances.
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).

MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF '
HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
REGULAR SESSION
AUGUST 16, 2012
CALL TO ORDER
The Planning Commission meeting was called to order by Chair Rahn at 7:00 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Chair Sean Rahn, Commissioners Scott Burfeind, Kara Kuykendall, Stan Leino, Carlos Morgan,
Michael Parks, and Stephen Schonning were present. Also present were Councilmember Carol
Kleven, Director of Business & Development, Gary Eitel, and Planning Commission Recording
Secretary Rebecca Crass.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES —AUGUST 2. 2012
There was a motion by Commissioner Parks, seconded by Commissioner Kuykendall, to approve
the minutes of the August 2, 2012 meeting as submitted. The motion passed. Commissioner
Burfeind abstained as he was not at the meeting.
CHAIR'S EXPLANATION
Chair 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.
APPLICATION NO. 2012-017 OMAR ABUISNAINEH
Chair Rahn introduced Application No. 2012-017, consideration of a Planned Unit Development
proposing the rezoning of certain properties from Cl (Service/Office) District and C2 (Commerce)
District to a new PUD/C2 (Planned Unit Development/Commerce) District, along with
Development/Site Plan approval of a parking lot expansion for a restaurant use, for the property
addressed as 6901 and 6915 Brooklyn Boulevard. (See Planning Commission Information Sheet
dated 8-16-12 for Application No. 2012-017.)
Mr. Eitel explained this property was the former Starbuck Coffee restaurant site, approved in
2006 and completed in 2007. The original intent of the building was to accommodate a new
Starbucks coffee shop along with one or two other speculative retail/service tenants. These
tenant spaces never materialized and the Starbucks closed down in 2010 after three years of
business. The main parcel is 0.58 acres (25,414 sq. ft.) in area and is currently zoned C2
(Commerce). The adjacent 6915 Brooklyn Boulevard is a 0.22 acre (9,635 sq. ft.) lot, which
used to contain a small residential dwelling and is zoned C1 (Service-Office).
He further explained the applicant is proposing a new "Slim's Pizza" restaurant with indoor
seating and drive-thru service and is currently remodeling the building. In order to provide
additional parking, the applicant acquired the property to the north of the subject site.
Page 1
8-16-12
Mr. Eitel added the applicant is seeking approval to allow a less than 15 ft. parking setback and
green-strip requirement along a public street and to allow a substantial reduction to the required
35-foot buffer requirements where a C2 development abuts an RI district. He described other
developments where less than 15 ft. green strip along Brooklyn Boulevard have been allowed
along a major thoroughfare where decorative screen walls or other screening devices have been
used.
He further stated the benefit of this PUD will provide a new single zoning over the two parcels
and provide flexibility for redevelopment/expansion of the site. The combining of these two
parcels will be considered under separate application.
Mr. Eitel stated the development plans call for leaving the main building intact and the primary
improvements to be made include adding 25 new parking stalls on the newly acquired lot at 6915
Brooklyn Boulevard; extending and installing new screening fence and landscaping along the
westerly and northerly perimeters of the site; and closing off the old driveway that served 6915
Brooklyn Boulevard creating 38 parking stalls to serve the site.
Mr. Eitel explained vehicles entering the site from Brooklyn Boulevard will have the ability to
go straight, left or right and locate a parking space. Vehicles using the drive-thru service lane
will need to turn right, maneuver around the northerly parking drive-aisle and enter into the re-
established drive-thru lane along the westerly boundary of the subject site. Vehicles that enter
from the south will have no option but to turn right into the parking area. He added the drive-up
lane will remain on the west side of the building and be maintained as a one-way drive.
Carlos Morgan arrived at 7:20 p.m.
PUBLIC HEARING—APPLICATION NO. 2012-017
There was a motion by Commissioner Leino, seconded by Commissioner Parks, to open the
public hearing on Application No. 2012-017, at 7:37 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.
Chair Rahn called for comments from the public.
The applicant Omar Abuisnaineh, introduced himself to the Commission.
Mr. Parks asked if the applicant had any concerns with access to the site. Mr. Abuisnaineh
replied that he had a discussion with the County regarding access on the site and he has talked to
the other property owners along Brooklyn Boulevard regarding possible acquisition of their
properties. He added that he worked with the City to attain the proposed layout. He added that
he has another restaurant in New Mope and does not plan for outdoor seating at this time. He
also stated that they sell burgers, pizzas and specialize in sandwiches and he feels it is the right
concept and right location for his business to be successful.
Mr. Adam Ray, 6920 Lee Avenue North, stated he lives kiddie-corner to the home they are
tearing down. He questions what the noise level will be with a parking lot in his backyard. He
also has concerns with the driving access. He explained this lot has limited access back onto
Page 2
8-16-12
Brooklyn Boulevard and he sees people making U-turns down his street and turning around on
his block. He added that he and his neighbor had a conversation with the contractor and were l
told that a fence would be replaced immediately and it has been two weeks and there is no fence.
He has now been told the fence will be the last thing put back on the site. He added he has also
talked with City Planner Tim Benetti regarding the fence issues. He would also like to know the
hours of operation and the expected timeline to open for business.
Mr. Abuisnaineh apologized to the resident for any miscommunication regarding the fence. He
stated there had been an issue with the County Engineers regarding water shut off which caused
a delay in the removal of the house. However, they have applied for a demo permit and will
check into getting a temporary fence installed. He also acknowledged potential issues with
traffic on Lee Avenue. He added the hours of operation will be 11:00 a.m. to 10 p.m. and they
hope to be ready to open end of September once the final plat is approved and the additional
parking lot can be created.
Mr. Eitel acknowledged there can be delays with a project when dealing with the contractors and
permits to work within the County right-of-way.
Commissioner Burfeind asked if there would be liquor served. Mr. Abuisnaineh stated this is a
family business and no alcohol will be served.
Commissioner Kuykendall asked if a temporary construction fence could be installed. Mr.
Abuisnaineh replied that he would be happy to do that.
There was further discussion regarding the traffic flow along Lee Avenue North going south
once leaving the site to get back on to Brooklyn Boulevard heading north. It was suggested by
the Commission that a sign be placed that would discourage traffic from going down Lee, north
of 69th Avenue North, which is a dead end.
Marty Bornholdt, 6939 Lee Avenue North, stated that they have concerns with safety and
increased traffic on Lee Avenue North in their neighborhood. She stated she is in favor of the
business opening up but would like to see the traffic issues addressed.
Mr. Eitel responded that most of the parking will be to the north of the property and many people
may find it easier to exit off Brooklyn Boulevard rather than 69th Avenue North.
Commissioner Kuykendall stated that with limited ingress and egress to the site, it might be
helpful to install directional signs to encourage people leaving the site to take the best route.
Commissioner Burfeind suggested keeping all traffic leaving the site use Brooklyn Boulevard
only. Mr. Eitel further explained the traffic layout and flow along both 69th Avenue and
Brooklyn Boulevard including clarifying both roads are County roads.
Commissioner Leino stated that he doesn't see an easy solution to these issues but is in favor of
moving this proposal forward. He added he agrees that it would be helpful to add signage to
guide people back onto northbound Brooklyn Boulevard. l
Page 3
8-16-12
Mr. Abuisnaineh stated he will put up a temporary fence once the house is demoed and grading
is complete until the permanent one can be installed in October.
Mr. Gene Wright, 15100 Stone Road, Minnetonka, asked about the hours of operation and when
the lights will be on. Mr. Abuisnaineh replied they plan to be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and
the lights will only be on when the restaurant is open.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
There was a motion by Commissioner Parks , seconded by Commissioner Kuykendall, to close
the public hearing on Application No. 2012-017. The motion passed unanimously.
The Chair called for further discussion or questions from the Commissioners.
Commissioner Parks stated that they want the business to be conducive to the residents in the
area and also to be successful. He added that he feels a traffic study would be a good idea for
this site to keep the traffic off the residential streets.
The Commissioners interposed no objections to approval of the Application.

Mr. Eitel described how the applicant was required to combine the two parcels as part of this
redevelopment project. He added the main parcel (6901 Brooklyn Blvd) is the former Starbuck's
and retail business building, consisting of 0.58 acres (or 25,414 s£); and is currently situated in
the C2 (Commerce) district. The adjacent 6915 Brooklyn Boulevard is a 0.22 acre (9,635 sf.)

COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
Excerpt from Chapter 12 of Citv Code of Ordinances:
Section 12-913. TYPE IV PROVISIONAL LICENSES.
1. Rental properties that meet the provisional licensing criteria as described in Section 12-
901 are eligible only for provisional licenses.
2. The City will provide by mail to each licensee a monthly report of any police and fire
calls and incidents and applicable property Code violations as described in Section 12-
901.
3. Mitigation Plan. The applicant for a provisional license must submit for Council review
a mitigation plan for the license period. The mitigation plan shall describe steps
proposed by the applicant to reduce the number of police and fire calls and/or the
property Code issues described in Section 12-901 and 12-911 to a level that qualifies for
a Type 1, II, or III license. The mitigation plan may include such steps as changes in
tenant screening procedures, changes in lease terms, security measures, rules and
regulations for tenant conduct, security personnel, and time frame to implement all
phases of the Crime Free Housing Program.
4. Council Consideration. The application with a proposed mitigation plan will be
presented to the City Council together with a recommendation by the City Manager or the
Manager's designee as to the disposition thereof. After giving the applicant an
opportunity to be heard and present evidence,the Council shall approve, disapprove, or
approve with conditions the application and the mitigation plan. If the Council
disapproves an application and mitigation plan or approves it with conditions, it shall
state its reasons for so doing in writing. In evaluating a mitigation plan,the Council will

seriousness of causes for police and fire incidences and/or property Code issues and the
expected effectiveness of measures identified in the plan to reduce the number of police
and fire incidences and/or property Code violations. In evaluating a mitigation plan
submitted by an applicant already under a provisional license,the Council will also
consider the effectiveness of measures identified in the applicant's previous mitigation
plan and the need for different or additional measures to reduce police and fire incidences
and/or property Code violations.
5. Compliance with Mitigation Plan. The licensee shall comply with the mitigation plan as
approved or modified by the Council. No later than the tenth day after each calendar
month, the licensee shall mail or deliver to the City Manager a written report describing

FROM: Vickie Schleuning, Sistant City Manager/Director of Building and Community
Standards
SUBJECT: Results of Resident Survey- Parking, Driveways, and Waste Containers
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council provide direction to staff regarding the desired
amendments to ordinances pertaining to parking, driveways and waste containers.
Background:
On February 27, 2012,the City Council reviewed possible ordinance revisions relating to waste
container storage location, vehicle parking requirements, and driveway requirements. Based on
City Council discussion, a survey was developed in order to obtain feedback from residents
about neighborhood standards. Information about the survey and the results is provided in order
to consider as part of the greater ordinance amendment process.
Survey
Although the survey is not a scientific survey, it does provide some insight to the views of
residents and property owners. The survey was posted in the Summer 2012 City Watch and was
also available through a link on the City website. Approximately 12,225 surveys were mailed
primarily to residential households in Brooklyn Center the week of April 13, 2012. Surveys
were collected until May 17, 2012.
The results are provided in the Attached Table and represent 353 unique survey responses. Of
these responses, 145 were submitted from the newsletter and 208 were received through the City
website link. In addition to the 353 unique survey responses,the following entries were
excluded from the statistical totals of the survey:
• 59 repeated entries within minutes on the website fiom the same IP address. This could
have been due to a glitch in the survey monkey system or,an intentional action to
manipulate the survey. Regardless,the original survey data from this IP address was
included in the statistical analysis.
® 38 paper copies of the survey with the same results were submitted indicating properties
that had parking on grass or other elements related to the survey. The envelope stated
that they were"Drive by Surveys Taken" of properties.
Summary of Survey Results
The following is a brief summary of the results of the survey.
• The results indicate that the majority, 73%, of respondents do not support vehicle parking
on grassy surfaces.
Mission:Ensuring an attractive,clean,safe,inclusive community that enhances the quality of life
for all people anal preserves the public trust
MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION
• The majority, 78%,believe there should be a limitation on the number of vehicles and
non-motorized vehicles that can be stored outside on a residential property.
• Respondents were nearly split in their views regarding gravel driveways and improved
driveway surfaces in general.
• Respondents were more in favor of prohibiting driveways abutting property lines (56%to
42%), and were slightly in favor of a three foot buffer between side property lines and
parking surfaces.
• In regards to waste container storage,most respondents were nearly evenly split in their
preference for storage either in a garage/enclosure (32%) or in the sideyard or backyard
(37%).
• Most respondents supported snow removal requirements for both vacant(62%) and
occupied housing (66%).

MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION
DATE: August 27, 2012
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Vickie Schleuning,Assistant City Manager/Director of Building and Community
Standards
SUBJECT: Neighborhood Designations
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider adopting official neighborhood designations.
Background:
A proposed map with neighborhood designations was reviewed with the City Council at the
Work Session on December 12, 2011. In addition to the Council comments, staff met with the
Parks & Recreation Commission and the Housing Commission in January and February 2012 to
obtain their feedback. As a result, some slight adjustments were made to the geographical areas
and a couple of the proposed neighborhood name recommendations have been changed.
Staff informally developed neighborhood designations throughout the City initially to facilitate
the neighborhood area meetings spearheaded by the Police Department. It has been a way to
promote consistent communications about projects in those neighborhoods. The neighborhood
designations are being brought forward to the City Council for consideration of formal adoption
by the City Council. At this time, based on feedback from the City Council and Commissions,
the primary purpose of the neighborhoods would be for broad communication strategies. In the
future, other uses could be explored as part of policy decisions or targeted programs.
A description of the recommended neighborhood designations is as follows:
® There are seventeen different neighborhoods throughout the city.
• Fifteen neighborhoods have areas less than 900 single family properties.
• Two neighborhoods are comprised of commercial properties.
o Neighborhood names are primarily derived from local neighborhood parks, positive
identifiers and often natural focal points of a neighborhood area. Two exceptions
include:
• Shingle Creels Neighborhood, which does not have a designated park within its
boundaries. However, a trail runs along Shingle Creek.
• Riverwood Neighborhood, which has been generally operating as a neighborhood.
The park is Riverdale Park and changing the name to Riverwood is an option.
More background information can be found in the attached memorandum from the December 12,
2011 City Council Work Session.
Mission:Ensuring an attractive,clean,safe,inclusive eonnniudi y that enhances the quality of life
for all people and preserves the public trust
MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION
If the City Council approves of the recommended neighborhood designations, staff will prepare a
resolution to officially adopt the neighborhoods at a future Council Meeting.
Policy Issues:
• What are the benefits or drawbacks to officially identifying neighborhoods?
• What level of resources and timeline should be allocated toward neighborhood programs?
I.e. Staffing, signage, grants
Council Goals:
Strategic:
2. We will stabilize and improve residential neighborhoods
4. We will improve the city's image.

Attachment III-Feedback from Parks &Recreation Commission and Housing Commission
City staff met with the Parks&Recreation Commission and the Housing Commission in January
and February 2012 to obtain their feedback regarding the official designation of neighborhoods
throughout the City. The feedback from the Commissions is summarized below. In some cases,
responses are added to address the question or comment.
1. Many commissioners thought establishing designated neighborhoods is a positive idea
and would be useful for communication purposes.
2. Many commissioners thought the use of parks names was a good option. It was
recommended that the park,names be used where possible, with the exception of the
Riverwood area.
• Would it be possible to change the Riverdale Park name?
• The new neighborhood designation map recommendation reflects a couple of
neighborhood name changes to match the park names.
3. It was recommended to relocate the northeast block of homes in the Happy Hollow
neighborhood to the Lions neighborhood.
® The new neighborhood designation map reflects this change.
4. Will official neighborhood boundaries be a first step in creating political wards?
® This was the first time the ward system was brought zap to staff during the
neighborhood designation project. If a ward system is approved, the process for
creating wards would be a completely separate process.
5. Can all city projects conform to the designated neighborhoods for implementation?
® It would be difficult to have all current and future city projects work within the
confines of the designated neighborhoods. For instance, some government
programs may stipulate geographical areas based on census tracts or other
factors. I.e. Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). However, the
designated neighborhoods would be considered as a factor in establishing and
implementing programs and projects.
6. How do the police department sectors compare to the neighborhoods? Can the
neighborhoods be used for communications to residents? Inconsistency in
communication areas could be a negative. Residents often are more interested and may
pay attention to issues in the smaller neighborhoods versus
• There are five police department sectors. They are very similar to the
recommended neighborhood designations. A map is provided that shows the
outline of the police sectors in relation to the recommended neighborhoods.
• The police department currently uses similar neighborhoods as part of the
Neighborhood Area Meetings. More research will be conducted by the police to
determine if they could be used for additional communication and as technology
allows.

PROM: Vickie Schleuning.Assistant City lManagcr,Director of Building and Community
Standards
SUBJECT: Neighborhood Designations
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council prow id.°direction to staff regarding the development of
official neighborhood designations.
Background:
Staff informally developed neighborhood designations throughout the City to initially facilitate
the neighborhood area meetings spearheaded by the Police Department. It has been a way to
promote consistent communications about projects.The neighborhood designations are being
brought forward to the City Council for consideration of formal adoption by the City Council.At
this time,f2nnnal adoption of the neighborhoods could assist%vith broader communication
strategies. In the future,other uses could be explored as part of policy decisions or targeted
programs.Proposed neighborhood designations and sonic considerations are reviewed in this
memo.
The draft neighborhood designation map consists of seventeen different neighborhoods in areas
of less than 900 single famil properties. Staff from City departments met initially to discuss
area characteristics,names and identifiers.and potential uses for neighborhood areas.The
neighborhood names were derived from local neiLliborhood parks,positive identifiers and often
natural focal points of a neighborhood area. The 1?hysical and neighborhood characteristics,such
as streets and property types;were also considered when defining the proposed neighborhoods.
Comparison:
In order to best determine tho neighborhood areas,it is important to know how the
neighborhoods Nvill be used. There are several factors that would influence the optimal size and
geographic location of the neighborhoods. As part of the research,staff interviewed
representatives from five different cities that currently have neighborhood designations to find
out the successes and challenges of establishing and using neighborhoods areas. Some highlights
of this research are provided below:
The size of neighborhoods varies significantly between cities.
o The number of neighborhoods within a city can vary significantly depending on the
overall size of the city and neighborhoods. Portland Oregon has the greatest number of
neighborhoods at 95 and the City of Crystal has 14 being the fewest.

MEMORANDUM- COUNCIL WORK SESSION
• In general,cities have used the neighborhoods to improve communication between the
city and the residents through targeted mailings and correspondence,and in certain cases
through specific neighborhood programs.
• One common challenge identified is citizen involvement.Although some cities have tried
to invoke ongoing engagement through neighborhood programs,sustaining neighborhood
involvement in the lone run was not always achieved.
• Some cities have allocated resources such as staffing and dedicated fiends to support
neighborhood group programs.
For more information,please see the attached City Neighborhood Comparison chart.
Consideration:
There are many aspects to consider when defining a neighborhood within the city.
C, Size:The first thing to consider is the size of the ir-ighborhoods,which could vary fiom a
block level to quadrant. The proposed neighborhoods vary from 200 to 1000 single
family properties,or approximately 15 to 40 square blocks within each neighborhood.
• Use:The use of the neighborhoods Neill influence the recommended size of a
neighborhood. Neighborhoods can be used for communications purposes,for �
neighborhood meeting s,grant appropriation.neighborhood groups,inspection areas,
street maintenance areas,etc.
® Resources:Depending on the development and use of neighborhoods,the resource needs
vary. Staff time may be involved in the setup and monitoring of these neighborhoods,
depending upon the level of neighborhood area involvement and initiatives. For
example,if a neighborhood grant program is initiated,staff and funding resources would
be greater than using the neighborhoods for communication only purposes. A
neighborhood program could involve City staff coordinating neighborhood cleanups or
garage sales.
• Identification:Neighborhoods can be physically identified through various means such as
on street signage or by monument type of signage. The costs vary depending on the
number and type of signs.
• Resident Involvement:One key factor of a successful,high level neighborhood
designation is resident involvement and acceptance. When determining neighborhood
areas,it is important to consider resident perceptions and potential involvement.
• Property Types(Commercial/Residential): Should the neighborhoods include specific
types of properties such as residential 1!ersus commercial,or should they be defined
strictly on the basis of geography? There are advantages and disadvantages to both
scenarios.
Process:
Depending on the nature of the feedback from the City Council,staff could prepare a resolution
to officially adopt the neighborhoods at a future.Council Meeting. As an alternative,staff could
seed:feedback about the proposed neighborhood areas and potential uses from the Housing
Conmuission and Parks Commission prior to official neighborhood designations. The feedback
would be incorporated into a final report and a resolution drafted for Council consideration.

MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION
DATE: August 14, 2012
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
I
FROM: Jim Glasoe, Director of Community Activities, Recreation and Services
SUBJECT: Brooklyn Center Youth Recreation Facility- Flooring and Equppmen
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider providing direction to staff regarding the
possibility of City participation in the funding of flooring and equipment for the new Brooklyn
Center Youth Recreation Facility.
Background:
In January 2011, the Brooklyn Center School District #286, along with the City of Brooklyn
Center and other grant partners were awarded a $304,000 grant from the Hennepin Youth Sports
Grant Program to construct an indoor youth recreation facility.
Construction of that facility is now essentially complete. However, project cost overruns and
unexpected expenditures have left no money to complete floor finishes or to properly equip the
building. The floor of the facility is currently finished concrete, and no equipment has been
purchased specifically for the facility.
On July 11, 2012, prospective users of the new youth recreation facility gathered to discuss their
potential space needs and to discuss flooring and equipment options. In preparation for that
meeting, staff investigated the potential costs of various flooring options. The following
assumptions are based upon the facility's approximately 7,000 square feet of interior space.
Costs estimates for a "sport court" type multi-purpose flooring ranged from $4.00-7.00 per
square foot. Estimates for a synthetic floor range from$8.00-10.00 per square foot and estimates
for a wood floor ranged from $13.00-15.00 per square foot. Based upon our 7,000 square foot
estimate, this brings the potential flooring costs at between$28,000 and$105,000.
i
In addition to the installed price, ongoing maintenance is also a consideration. Sport court and
synthetic flooring requires only regular cleaning and an occasional repainting, re-taping of the
lines. Woods floors require regular cleaning and will also require re-sanding every 3-5 years.
At the July "users meeting" it was generally agreed that the sport court type flooring would be
the most flexible, economical and would meet the needs of the most groups. This would place
the approximate cost of flooring at between$28,000 and $49,000.
Mission:Ensuring an attractive,cleat,safe contnutnity that enhances the quality of life andpreserves the public trust

i
In addition to the flooring, we would estimate that it will cost between $10,000 and $20,000 to
equip the facility with basketball hoops, scoreboards, netting and other multi-purpose equipment.
Individual users would be responsible for providing sports specific equipment, if required.
Council Goals:
Ongoing:
1. We will provide streamlined, cost effective, quality services with limited resources
