Chairperson's Explanation The Planning Commission is 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. 5. Spiritual Life Church 97006 Request for Site and Building Plan approval to construct a 900 seat church on the vacant 4.4 acre parcel of land located at the southwest quadrant of Shingle Creek Parkway and Xerxes Avenue North. This item was previously considered by the Planning Commission and was tabled on 4/17/97 so that the applicant could submit revised plans. 6. Other Business 7. Adjournment Fr. • • I I Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 97006 Applicant: Spiritual Life Church Location: Southwest Quadrant of Shingle Creek Parkway and Xerxes Avenue North Request: Site and Building Plan Approval The applicant is requesting site and building plan approval to construct a 28,611 sq. ft., 900 seat church on the vacant 4.4 acre parcel of land that is located at the southwest quadrant of Shingle Creek Parkway and Xerxes Avenue North. The property in question is zoned C-1 (Service/Office) and is surrounded on the north by Shingle Creek Parkway with I-1 zoned property containing the Palmer Lake Plaza office/industrial building on the opposite side of the street; on the east by Xerxes Avenue and a two story office building with I-1 zoned property containing an office/industrial building on the opposite side of Xerxes Avenue; on the south and west by Freeway Boulevard with R-3 zoned property containing the Earle Brown Farm Estates Townhouses on the opposite side. Religious uses are listed as permitted uses in the C-1 zoning district. BACKGROUND This application was previously considered by the Planning Commission at its meeting on April 14, 1997 and was tabled because the plans submitted did not provide sufficient enough information for the Planning Commission to make a favorable recommendation on this matter. Specifically, no drainage, grading or utility plan had been submitted nor had a wetland report been completed in order to determine to what extent wetlands on the site would affect the proposed development. Revisions to the landscape plan were also requested and the applicant was asked to provide information regarding the location of access points on the opposite side of Freeway Boulevard to determine their impact on the subject site. Attached for the Commission's review is a copy of the Planning Commission Information Sheet for this application which was presented to the Planning Commission on April 14, 1997 and an excerpt from the Planning Commission minutes for that same date dealing with this particular application. The applicant has submitted a revised site plan, landscaping plan and has provided a grading and utility.plan. A wetland delineation report has also been prepared for the Spiritual Life Church by McCombs Frank Roos Associates, Inc. The report indicates that historically a wetland existed on the south edge of the site in question, however, development in the area and previous site grading have left only a small remnant of this wetland. The report notes that the existing dry stormwater basin of approximately 408 sq. ft. does not meet the criteria requiring wetland delineation and is exempt from the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act. The report recommends that these facts be submitted to the local unit of government having jurisdiction over the wetlands on this site to document compliance and to request a Certificate of Exception. The City of Brooklyn Center is the local unit of government having jurisdiction over the wetlands, but has a joint powers agreement with the Shingle Creek Watershed Management 05-29-97 Page 1 organization which serves in this capacity and ultimately must review this matter. The City Engineer has submitted the report and has requested the Watershed Management Commission to verify this exception. REVISED PLANS The revised site plans submitted by the applicant show the requested location of off-site access points on Freeway Boulevard and Xerxes Avenue North. The plans have been modified to line up the access drive at the northwest corner of the site with one existing on the opposite side of Freeway Boulevard serving the Earle Brown Farm Estates townhouses. The proposed access on Xerxes Avenue has been shifted southerly of the original location to align with the access serving the spec industrial building on the east side of Xerxes Avenue. The southerly access on Freeway Boulevard does not line up with the access in that location serving the townhomes. The City Engineer has reviewed the matter and, although the offset is about 85 feet as measured from center line to center line,he believes the south access to the church site is in the best location. He does not recommend altering this access given the nature of the use of the proposed site and the existing townhomes. The parking requirement for churches is one parking space for every three seats in the main church building. The applicant's plan indicates 900 seats in the church proper, therefore, 300 parking spaces are required for this site. The parking plan provides 304 parking stalls including seven handicap parking spaces. The site plan has been modified to shift the proposed parking lot at the east end of the site southerly in order to align with the access drive on the opposite side of Xerxes Avenue. This provides a larger greenstrip or landscaped area along Shingle Creek Parkway in this area. As the drainage plan points out,this area is proposed for ponding. DRAINAGE/GRADING/UTILITIES The applicant has submitted a grading, drainage and utility plan as requested. The plan calls for two ponding areas, one on the southerly edge of the site and the other at the northerly edge of the site that will collect drainage and serve as holding areas before draining into existing storm sewer around the site. The westerly portion of the site will drain to the south and be collected by three catch basins located next to the southerly greenstrip. The northerly and easterly portion of the parking lot will drain to catch basins and collect in the holding pond located in the northeast greenstrip along Shingle Creek Parkway. Sanitary sewer and water will be provided to the church along the north side of the building and be tied into existing sewer and water located within the Shingle Creek Parkway right-of-way. The City Engineer is reviewing the grading,draining and utility plans and will be providing his comments to the Planning Commission. As mentioned previously,the applicant is seeking a Certificate of Exception from the wetland requirements and this should be verified by the Shingle 05-29-97 Page 2 Creek Watershed Management Commission prior to the issuance of building permits for this > project. LANDSCAPING The applicant has submitted a revised landscape plan to meet the landscape point system utilized by the Planning Commission for recommending such plans. This property is zoned C-1 and the landscape point system requires 392 landscape points for this 4.4 acre site. The new plan provides 396 landscape points with a similar but better distribution of plantings around the site as that proposed with the April 14, 1997 submission. Fallgold Ash, Plum-leaved Crab Apple, White Spruce and Colorado Spruce are provided in the greenstrip areas surrounding the site in much the same manner as the previously proposed landscape plan. Purpleleaf Sand Cherry and Red-barked Dogwood shrubs are also interspersed in between the shade, decorative and spruce trees provided. Along Freeway Boulevard, the applicant has proposed to provide a berm to shield the parking lot from the residential property on the opposite side of the street. This berm also contains shrubbery as well as trees which should provide appropriate screening of the parking lot area. Along the south portion of the greenstrip where a ponding area is proposed, the applicant provides 15 Techney Arborvitae to provide parking lot screening from the residential area on the opposite side of Freeway Boulevard. Parking lot island areas are provided with Plum-leaved Crab Apples and the entrance to the church at the northeast side of the building is landscaped with Plum-leaved Crab Apples, Hillieri and Purpleleaf Sand Cherry. Shrubbery along the westerly side of the building and the southerly side of the building includes Plum- leaved Crab Apple, Purpleleaf Sand Cherry and Hillieri. The landscaping is appropriate and the landscape point system is met with this newest submission. BUILDING The proposed building treatment is unchanged from that submitted at the April 14, 1997 Commission meeting. The treatment is made up primarily of a textured decorative insulated precast concrete wall panel with pre-finished metal coping and a pre-finished standing seam metal roof where a peak roof is called for. A tinted reflectorized glazed curtain wall is also proposed at the main building entrance. The architect mentioned that the building exterior will be white or cream color with plum colored glazing, frames and flashings. LIGHTING The site plan shows the location of lighting standards in 14 locations around the site. The light poles are to be 20 feet in height and a note on the site plan indicates that the site lighting will be provided with such devices as required to restrict glare and intensities in conformance with Section 35-712 of the City Ordinances. 05-29-97 Page 3 Any outside trash disposal facilities will be required to be screened with an opaque screening device including opaque screening on gates. RECOMMENDATION The plans as submitted appear to be in order and approval can be recommended. The grading plan, however, should be modified prior to the issuance of building permits to show the proposed berming that is indicated on the landscape plan. Also, it should be noted that the applicant has waived their right to have their plans given final consideration within 60 days of filing an application as provided for in state statute. The reason for this is that the plans were not in sufficient order for the Planning Commission to make a favorable recommendation to the City Council within that time frame. This matter, if approved, will be referred to the City Council for their meeting on June 9, 1997. Again,the plans appear to be in order and approval is recommended subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits. 2. Grading, drainage and utility plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of permits. 3. A site performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee in an amount to be determined based on cost estimates shall be submitted prior to the issuance of permits to assure the completion of approved site improvements. 4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and roof-top or on-ground mechanical equipment shall be appropriately screened from view. 5. The building is to be equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system to meet NFPA standards and shall be connected to a central monitoring device in accordance with Chapter 5 of the City Ordinances. 6. An underground irrigation system shall be installed in all landscaped areas to facilitate site maintenance. 7. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances. 8. B-612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and driving areas. 9. The applicant shall enter into an easement and agreement for maintenance and inspection of utility and storm drainage systems prior to the issuance of permits. 05-29-97 Page 4 10. The applicant shall provide appropriate erosion and sediment control devices on the site during construction as approved by the City Engineering Department. 11. All work performed and materials used for construction of utilities, shall conform to the City of Brooklyn Center's current standard specifications and details. 12. The grading plan shall be modified prior to the issuance of building permits to indicate the berming area used to screen the parking lot from the townhomes on the opposite side of Freeway Boulevard. 13. The Certificate of Exception to the Wetland Conservation Act recommended in the applicant's wetland report prepared by McCombs Frank Roos Associates, Inc. is subject to the approval of the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission and shall be issued prior to the issuance of building permits for this project. 05-29-97 Page 5 • s • PLANNING COMMISSION � • APPLICATION NO. 97006 AV . i.,..

Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission C/O Montgomery Watson 505 U.S. Highway 169, Suite 555 Minneapolis, Minnesota 55441 RE: Application Review and Submittal Proposed Spiritual Life Church Site Development Brooklyn Center, Minnesota Wetland Fill Exemption Request Brooklyn Center, Mn Dear Mr. Thompson: Plans have been submitted to the City for the construction of a church on approximately 4 acres of vacant property along Single Creek Parkway between Xerxes Ave. N. And Freeway Boulevard. In accordance with the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act(WCA), a small wetland on the site has been identified. A wetland delineation and evaluation report has been performed by the firm of isMcCombs Frank Roos Associates, Inc.(copy of the report is attached). In summary, the report states that the existing stormwater basin does not meet the jurisdictional wetland criteria and the remnant wetland is covered by a Corps of Engineers Nationwide permit and is exempt from the WCA. Because the Shingle Creek Watershed Commission serves as the Local Government Unit(LGU) for wetland issues, a Certificate of Exemption or appropriate act of the Commission is requested to allow for development of the site. Please schedule the attached application and report for the Commission's consideration at their June 12, 1997 meeting. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me.

(MFRA) has prepared this wetland report to assist Spiritual Life Church in developing plans for site development, and wetland permitting documentation in order to comply with the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act(WCA)and the Clean Water Act Section 404. This report describes the characteristics of the on-site basins and documents their status under the various wetland regulations. The site is 4.4 acres in the NW1/4, NW1/4, Sec. 35, TI 19N, R21 W, Mississippi River(Metro #20) Watershed, Hennepin County, City of Brooklyn Center, and Shingle Creek Watershed District. Historically, a wetland existed along the south edge of the site, however,development in the area and previous site grading (late 1980's) have left only a small remnant of this wetland. The existing dry stormwater basin does not meet the jurisdictional wetland criteria and the remnant wetland is covered by a Corps of Engineers Nationwide permit and is exempt from the WCA. This report can be submitted to the City/Watershed District to document compliance with the WCA and to request a Certificate of Exception. Wetland Delineation MethodologcT As part of our wetland delineation, MFRA reviewed the available background wetland information on the site. This information included: * National Wetlands Inventory Map (NWI): * Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Protected Waters Map; * Hennepin County Soil Survey; An Equal Opportunity Employer Mr. Joe Fornara April 29, 1997 Page 2 • U.S.G.S. 7.5 min. Quadrangle Map; • Topographic site maps; and • Half section aerial photographs. The basins were field (on-site) delineated on April 23, 1997 using the principles of the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual including all adopted modifications. The routine delineation method was generally used and dominant vegetation was evaluated by estimated area cover and the 50/20 rule. Wetlands, if present, were classified according to the methodologies in—Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of-the-United Stares (FWS/OBS Publication 79/31; Cowardin et. Al 1979) and Wetlands of the United States (USFWS Circular 39; Shaw and Fredin 1971). The location of the basins were surveyed by MFRA,the sizes reported here are based on that survey. Basin Characteristics Wetland 1 is a 408 square foot Palustrine Emergent Saturated (PEMB,Type 2) basin. This basin is the remnant of a larger basin as identified on the NWI map (1980 photo) and the soil survey (1969 photo), which was filled in the late 1980's (prior to January 1, 1992) for development of adjacent townhomes, commercial development,:and freeway boulevard. Much of the adjacent fill material appears to be organic soil which was probably removed from the original wetland prior to development. The soils in the basin consisted of 20+inches of organic soil which appeared to be relatively undisturbed. The basin was saturated to the surface, with groundwater at two (2) inches below the surface. The dominant vegetation in the basin included Reed Canary Grass (FACW+), Giant Ragweed (FAC+), and Red Fescue (FAC-). The basin meets all three mandatory wetland criteria. Steep embankments of fill mark the limits of the basin. A dry stormwater detention basin was also constructed on the site where the historical wetland existed. The bottom of this basin was approximately two (2) feet higher than Wetland 1. Although this basin has 17 inches of organic soil, it appears to be fill, which was dry to a depth of 20+ inches. There also were no indicators of surface inundation even though the basin has a skimmer outlet structure at the east end. The vegetation in this basin was dominated by Reed Canary Grass (FACW+), Kentucky Bluegrass (FAC-), Red Fescue (FAC-), and Tall Goldenrod (FACU). This basin does not meet the hydrophitic vegetation criteria, the depth of the fill was sufficient to eliminate the hydrology criteria, and the soils showed no indication of recent hydric conditions, therefore, the basin is not a jurisdictional wetland. Mr. Joe Fornara April 29, 1997 Page 3 Wetland Jurisdiction Clean Water Act. Section 404 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) regulates dredge and fill activities in all wetlands, regardless of size, under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The COE has issued a nationwide permit(NWP #26) for fill in isolated wetlands, which essentially allows up to 1/3 acre of fill to be placed without prior notification or compensatory mitigation. The remnant wetland (408 square feet) would qualify for NWP #26. The COE contact person for Hennepin County is Joe Yanta(290-5362). Minnesota Protected Waters Act The DNR has jurisdiction over waters of the state that are generally Wetland Types 3, 4 and 5, and are larger than 2.5 acres in incorporated areas or 10 acres in unincorporated areas.The wetland on the site is not listed as DNR Protected Water and therefore any proposed impacts to this basin do not require a DNR permit. Minnesota Wetland Cons ervation Act of 1991 A Local Unit of Government (LGU) will have jurisdiction over the wetlands on the site, based on the WCA of 1991 as amended through 1996. The LGU for this site is the City of Brooklyn Center which relies on the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Organization (Eric Thompson- 593-9000). Under the WCA 1996 rules, there is a WCA deminimus exemption for the first 2,000 square feet of impacts to Type 1, 2 or 6 wetlands. This exemption would cover the entire 408 square foot remnant wetland basin.Therefore the WCA would not require compensatory mitigation if this basin was eliminated. Because the site grading was done in the late 1980's (prior to January 1, 1992), the 5% fill limit on the landowner portion of the wetland would not be applicable to this exemption. Clean Water-Axt Section 402 Under Section 402(P) of the Clean Water Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is required to develop regulations for stormwater discharges. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has the authority to regulate the stormwater program under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. The MCPA has written a general permit for construction sites greater than 5 acres in size. As of January 1, 1994, a permit application and fee of$85.00 (no plans or specifications) must be sent to the MPCA at least 48 hours prior to commencement of land disturbance activities. The permit application requires the site owner and contractor to certify the provisions of the general permit, including developing and implementing temporary and permanent erosion Mr. Joe Fo rnara April 29, 1997 Page 4 and sediment control plans, will be followed. The general permit requires that stormwater discharges be preponded before discharge to a waters of the state (including wetlands). The general permit also requires inspection and maintenance of the erosion and sediment control facilities on a weekly basis. Since the site is less than 5 acres,the project will be exempt from these regulations. If you have any questions or need additional information,please contact me. MFRA appreciates the opportunity to provide you with wetland delineation, engineering and surveying services. If you have additional needs for our services for permitting for this or other projects in the future, please give us a call. Sincerely, McCOMBS FRANK ROOS ASSOCIATES, INC. Kelly ..

A.-exmpcert.for(BwSB/11 10/17/93) • Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 97006 Applicant: Spiritual Life Church Location: Southwest Quadrant of Shingle Creek Parkway and Xerxes Avenue North Request: Site and Building Plan Approval Applicant is requesting Site and Building Plan approval to construct a 28,611 sq. ft, 900 seat church on the vacant 4.4 acre parcel of land that is located at the southwest quadrant of Shingle Creek Parkway and Xerxes Avenue North. The property in question is zoned C-1 (Service/Office) and is surrounded on the north by Shingle Creek Parkway with I-1 zoned property containing the Palmer Lake Plaza Office/Industrial building on the opposite side of the street; on the east by Xerxes Avenue and a two story office building with I-1 zoned property containing an office/industrial building on the opposite side of Xerxes Avenue; on the south and west by Freeway Boulevard with R-3 zoned property containing the Earle Brown Farm Estates Townhouses on the opposite side. Religious uses are listed as permitted uses in the C-1 zoning district. ACCESS/PARKING Access to the property is to be gained via 24 ft. wide drive ways located along Xerxes Avenue and two along Freeway Boulevard, one at the northwest corner of the site near Shingle Creek • Parkway and the other along the southeasterly portion of the site. The site plan does not show the location of existing accesses on Xerxes Avenue North serving an office/industrial building or on Freeway Boulevard serving the Earle Brown Farm Estates Townhouses. There are two access drives on the opposite side of Freeway Boulevard to the west of this site and one on Freeway Boulevard to the south of'this site serving the townhouse complex. None of the proposed accesses appear to line up directly with the existing accesses except possibly the Xerxes access with the office/industrial building to the east. Locations of accesses should be reviewed and noted on the plan for possible adjustment. The City Engineer has commented about his concern for the northwesterly access along Freeway Boulevard possibly being too close to Shingle Creek Parkway. He would prefer more distance, but we also should be concerned about it's alignment with the access to the townhouses on the opposite side of the street. The access to the townhouses along the south portion of Freeway Boulevard appears to be about midway between the proposed access for the church and the corner of Freeway Boulevard. This too should be reviewed. The parking requirement for churches is one parking space for every three seats in the main church building. The applicant's plan indicates 900 seats in the church proper,therefore, 300 parking spaces are required for this site. The parking plan provides for 303 parking spaces including five handicap. The stalls scale 8 ft. 8 in. wide, which is the minimum stall width for parking spaces allowed under the zoning ordinance. There should be at least one more handicap stall based on the requirement of one handicap space for every 50 parking stalls. In reviewing 04-14-97 Page 1 the site plan, it is noted that the parking lot width to the east of the church's main entrance scales • only 125 ft. This area, in order to meet the zoning ordinance minimum requirements for parking lot dimensions, should be 127 ft. The site plan should be adjusted and there appears to be no problem in doing this. Parking and driving lanes are provided all the way around the building. The main entrance to the building is at the northeasterly corner of the building. The site plan shows required 35 ft. green strips along Shingle Creek Parkway and Xerxes Avenue North, which are major thoroughfares. Fifteen foot greenstrips are provided for on the west and south portions of the site where the property abuts with Freeway Boulevard.. This portion of Freeway Boulevard is not a major thoroughfare and,therefore, only 15 ft. green strips are required. DRAINAGE/GRADING/UTILITIES The applicant has not submitted a grading, drainage or utility plan and one must be provided before a favorable recommendation can be made. The site is 4.4 acres and would not normally require Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission review and approval. City records indicate that a portion of this site is wetlands and the applicant has been advised that wetland delineation must take place. Because the property abuts wetlands, Watershed review and approval will probably be necessary. The applicant's architect has been advised of the need for a drainage, grading and utility plan as well as to provide the necessary wetland delineation. In the meantime, we have no comments with respect to this portion of the plan. LANDSCAPING The applicant has submitted a landscape plan in response to the landscape point system utilized by the Planning Commission for recommending such plans. This property is zoned C-1 and we have, therefore,requested the applicant to provide a landscape plan based on the points required for a C-1 or Service/Office development. This 4.4 acre site requires 392 landscape points. The project data summary on the front page of the site plan indicates that 379 landscape points are to be provided. This is 13 points short of the minimum required. The landscape point itself,when totaling points, shows only 356 landscape points. Adjustment to the landscape plan by providing additional landscaping is in order. The plan submitted calls for Fallgold Ash, Plum-leaved Crab Apple and Colorado Spruce around the perimeter greenstrip areas of the property. Plum-leaved Crab Apple are also proposed for the parking lot island areas as well as along the west side of the church building. A landscape area containing Hillieri and Purpleleave Sand Cherry is proposed for the northeast corner of the site around the proposed location for an identification sign. Techney,Arborvitae and Hillieri are also proposed in landscape areas on either side of the entrance to the church building. The landscape plan should be modified to provide some additional landscaping to meet the minimum points required. It should also be noted that the zoning ordinance requires parking lot screening where parking 04-14-97 Page 2 lots containing more than six cars are across the street from residentially zoned property. This is ithe case along Freeway Boulevard across from the Earle Brown Farm Estates Townhouses. This screening should be at least three to four feet high to screen the parking lot and car headlights from the residential across the street. It is also common in the industrial park area to provide berming along Shingle Creek Parkway in an effort to screen the parking lot at street level. No grading plan has been provided, however,the areas along Shingle Creek Parkway and Xerxes Avenue would be appropriate for providing berming to shield the parking lot and asphalt areas from these two roadways. It is recommended that the plans be modified to provide this as well. BUILDING The proposed building treatment is to be made up primarily of a textured decorative insulated pre-cast concrete wall panel with prefinished metal coping and a prefinished standing seam metal roof where a peaked roof is called for. A tinted reflectorized glazed curtain wall is also proposed at the main building entrance. No colors have been indicated, but it is presumed that they will be earth tones. The interior of the building will contain 900 auditorium seats in the main portion of the church along with a nursery, bookstore, restrooms, a fellowship hall/classroom area and kitchen as well as storage and a choir room. The upper level will include office areas, reception and a conference room as well as a prayer room and storage. The plans indicate a possibility for future expansion, however, no additional expansion of the church's seating capacity can be allowed without additional land area. • LIGHTING The site plan shows the location of lighting fixtures around the perimeter of the parking lot at 14 locations. The general notes provided with the plan indicate that site lighting shall be provided with such devices as required to restrict glare and intensities in conformance with the City's Zoning Ordinance. The applicant should submit information as to the proposed height of the lighting fixtures and a comment at least that the lighting fixtures will be shielded in such a way as to direct light unto the site and not create glare. No indication of outside trash disposal facilities is shown on the plan. Any such outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop or on-ground mechanical equipment, will have to be screened from view by an opaque screening device. It should also be noted that the general notes indicate that all surfacing, curbs and gutters shall be provided in accordance with the Brooklyn Center Zoning Ordinance. RECOMMENDATION As noted in the report, the plans are not sufficient enough to make a recommendation to approve. No drainage, grading or utility plan has been submitted and wetland delineation is an issue. This • 04-14-97 Page 3 wetland delineation matter may cause some significant alterations to this site if the property is indeed affected by wetlands. Revision to the landscape plan to provide more landscape points is in order. Indication of where off-site accesses are located should be provided in order to evaluate the applicant's proposed access arrangement. Screening across the street from residentially zoned property is required and it is recommended that the grading plan be modified to provide berming along Shingle Creek Parkway and Xerxes so as to screen the parking lots in these locations. These matters have been reported to the applicant's architect and must be addressed before a favorable recommendation can be made with respect to the applicant's plans. The application should be tabled until an appropriate plan is presented. The Commission should keep in mind the State Statute limitation of 60 days for reviewing such plans. It would behoove the applicant to expedite their plan amendments rather than to receive a recommendation of denial due to insufficient submission of plans. 04-14-97 • Page 4 4 APPLICATION NO. 97006 (SPIRITUAL LIFE CHURCH) Chair Willson introduced Application No. 97006, a request for site and building plan approval to construct a 900 seat church on the vacant 4.4 acre parcel of land located at the southwest quadrant of Shingle Creek Parkway and Xerxes Avenue North. Mr. Warren presented the staff report using overhead transparencies to show the location and site and building plans for the new proposal. (See Planning Commission Application Information Sheet for Application No. 97006 dated 4-14-97 attached.) Mr. Warren stated access to the property is to be gained via 24 foot wide drive ways located along Xerxes Avenue and two along Freeway Boulevard, one at the northwest corner of the site near Shingle Creek Parkway and the other along the southeasterly portion of the site. There are two access drives on the opposite side of Freeway Boulevard to the west of this site and one on Freeway Boulevard to the south of this site serving the townhouse complex. None of the proposed accesses appear to line up directly with the existing accesses except possibly the Xerxes access with the office/industrial building to the east.

The City Engineer has expressed concern for the northwesterly access along Freeway Boulevard possibly being too close to Shingle Creek Parkway. However, there also is concern about the access alignment with the access to the townhouses on the opposite side of the street. The access to the townhouses along the south portion of Freeway Boulevard appears to be about midway between the proposed access for the church and the corner of Freeway Boulevard. These access issues need to be reviewed and resolved. • Mr. Warren noted the applicant has not submitted a grading, drainage or utility plan and one must be provided before a favorable recommendation can be made. The site is 4.4 acres and would not . normally require Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission review and approval. City records indicate that a portion of this site is wetlands and therefore, a wetland, delineation and Watershed review and approval will be necessary. The landscape point system for this 4.4 acre site requires 392 landscape points. The project data summary indicates that 379 landscape points are to be provided. This is 13 points short of the minimum required. When totaling points, staff finds only 356 landscape points. Also the zoning ordinance requires parking lot screening where parking lots containing more than six cars across the street from residentially zoned property. This is the case along Freeway Boulevard across from the Earle Brown Farm Estates Townhouses. It is also common in the industrial park area to provide berming along Shingle Creek Parkway in an effort to screen the parking lot at street level. The landscape issues will need to be provided and resolved in the grading, drainage or utility plan. Mr. Warren stated the submitted plans are not sufficient enough to make a recommendation to approve. All the outstanding matters have been reported to the applicant's architect. The application should be tabled until an appropriate plan is presented. Mr. Warren noted the State Statute of limitation of 60 days for reviewing this plan. 4-17-97 Page 2 Pastor Judy Fornara, Spiritual Life Church, stated she did not anticipate a large amount of traffic from the site during peak traffic hours. Services are held on Sunday morning and Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings. She stated she did not feel there would be an issue with the wetlands. She • noted the church had been located at 6500 Shingle Creek Parkway for 10 years and the parish has outgrown that site. It has become necessary for the church to relocate and they would like to remain in the City of Brooklyn Center. Chair Willson asked if the site would be vacant during the day. Pastor Judy Fornara noted there are 8 office workers on the site during business hours. The Church also hosts a week long camp meeting 1-2 times per year. She noted this would bring revenue to the City as the attendees would utilize the hotels and restaurants in the area. Commissioner Newman questioned the possible expansion of the Church. Pastor Judy Fornara stated if the Church required expansion,they would rent space from other nearby office buildings and utilize a shuttle bus for transportation. Commissioner Boeck questioned the location of the drive ways. He also suggested a cooperative agreement in regard to drainage may be necessary with the adjacent property owner and asked if the berm would be provided and landscaping adjusted to comply with the ordinance. The Architect reported a survey of the site will be conducted next week. He stated he was concerned with moving the access points due to the topography of the site. The cooperative agreement may be necessary because the storm sewer actually goes across the adjacent property owners driveway. The Architect stated it is his intent to comply with all recommendations of the City Engineer. • In response to Commissioner Walker, the Architect explained the exterior of the building will be white or cream color with plumb colored glazing, frames and flashings. There was a motion by Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner Reem to table consideration of Application No. 97006, Spiritual Life Church,to provide adequate information for the Commission to make a recommendation to approve. Voting for: Chair Willson,Commissioners Boeck,Newman,Reem,and Walker. The motion passed unanimously. APPLICATION NO 97007 (POPEHN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - HIAWATHA RUBBER COMPANY Chair Willson introduced Application No. 97007, a request for site and building plan approval to construct a 37,440 square feet addition to the Hiawatha Rubber Company building located at 1700 67th Avenue North. Mr. Warren presented the staff report using overhead transparencies to show the location and site and building plans for the new proposal.
