Adjournment • • r • 1 i • • Application Filed on 4-23-98 City Council Action Should Be Taken By 6-22-98 (60 Days) Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 98008 Applicant: Economic Development Authority Location: 53rd Avenue North Between 4th Street North and Bryant Avenue Request: Preliminary Plat The Economic Development Authority (EDA) of the City of Brooklyn Center is seeking preliminary plat approval to create single family residential lots and outlots out of the property which was recently acquired and cleared, located between 4th Street North and Bryant Avenue North,north of 53rd Avenue. The property in question is zoned R-2 (One and Two Family Residence)except for approximately 25,000 sq. ft. of land located at the northeast corner of 53rd and Camden Avenues that is zoned R4 (Multi-Family Residence) and was the former location of two four-plexes. The EDA has acquired and cleared 28 residential lots within the past year for the purpose of creating a parkway like greenstrip amenity along 53rd Avenue and new housing in this area. • This application was presented to the Planning Commission on May 14, 1998, at which time a public hearing regarding the proposal was held. Following the closing of the public hearing and discussion on the matter,the Commission tabled the request until city representatives had an opportunity to meet with representatives of the City of Minneapolis and Hennepin County regarding issues that had been raised relating to the City's proposed 53rd Avenue project. The meeting was held on Wednesday,May 20, 1998, and the matters were discussed. City Manager, Michael McCauley,will be present at Thursday evening's meeting to discuss the results of that meeting. The preliminary plat is back on the Commission's agenda for consideration. We have requested the consulting engineer to slightly modify the plat so that there will be three lots instead of four on the west end of the Bellvue Lane cul-de-sac. This will necessitate the need to adjust the location of the easements for sewer and water lines running between the proposed Bellvue Lane and Bryant Avenue. Attached for the Commission's review is the Planning Commission Information Sheet from May 14, 1998, related to this application'and the Commission's attention is also directed to the minutes of May 14, 1998 related to this matter. We will have a modified plat by Thursday • 5-28-98 Page 1 evening for the Commission's review,in the meantime,the previously presented plat is attached S for review purposes. A public hearing was held on May 14, 1998, and was closed. No new notice was published. The Commission may reopen the hearing if it wishes additional comments. RECOMMENDATION We recommend proceeding with the preliminary plat and recommend approval subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances. 3. Approval of this plat acknowledges the need to rezone the proposed Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 2 from R-4 to R-2. The platting process may proceed,however,no building permits for said lots may be issued until the rezoning process has been completed. • 5-28-98 Page 2 • Application Filed On 4-23-98 City Council Action Should Be Taken By 6-22-98 (60 Days) Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 98008 Applicant: Economic Development Authority Location: 53rd Avenue North Between 4th Street North and Bryant Avenue Request: Preliminary Plat The Economic Development Authority(EDA) of the City of Brooklyn Center is seeking preliminary plat approval to create 16 new single family residential lots and two outlots out of the property which was recently acquired and cleared, located between 4th Street North and Bryant Avenue North,north of 53rd Avenue. The property in question is zoned R-2 (One and Two Family Residence) except for approximately 25,000 sq. ft. of land located at the northeast corner of 53rd and Camden Avenues that is zoned R-4 (Multi-Family Residence)and was the former location of two four-plexes. The area is bounded by 4th Street North on the east; 53rd Avenue on the south; Bryant Avenue on the west; and by a number of single family homes and Bellvue Park on the north. Camden Avenue runs north and south through the approximate center of the property under consideration. • The EDA acquired and cleared 28 residential lots within the past year for the purpose of creating a parkway like greenstrip amenity along 53rd Avenue and new housing in this area. The proposed plat calls for dedication of 50 ft. of right-of-way for a new east west roadway to be known as Bellevue Lane which will connect with 4th Street on the east and will end in a cul-de- sac between Camden and Bryant Avenues. The plat,to be known as the Bellvue Lane Addition, will create 16 single family lots ranging in size from 10,211 sq. ft. to 19,822 sq. ft. with the average size being just a little over 12,000 sq. ft. in area. The minimum requirements for a single family lot in a R-2 zone are 60 feet in width and 7,600 sq. ft. in area for an interior lot and 75 feet in width and 8,750 sq. ft. in area for a corner lot. Most of the interior lots in the proposed subdivision are 80 feet in width with the two comer lots being 90 feet. The lots around the cul- de-sac are all at least 60 feet in width at the front setback line. A portion of Bellvue Park will become part of the newly created lots and the new Bellvue Lane. Outlots A and B will be the 50 foot wide greenstrip, landscape or parkway area separating the new lots from the existing 53rd Avenue North. The City has had numerous meetings to discuss the landscaping and proposed housing in this area and the neighborhood is in support of the project. Mr. Tom Bublitz, Community Development Specialist,will be in attendance at Thursday's Planning Commission meeting to review the project plan for the parkway greenstrip and the plans and timing for construction of the new homes in this area. • 5-14-98 Page 1 Neighborhood street improvement projects including sanitary sewer,water, storm sewer and curb • and gutter will be constructed this summer for 4th Street North, Camden and Bryant Avenues. The new Bellvue Lane will be constructed as well. Sanitary sewer and water will be installed in Bellvue Lane along with storm sewer for the new development. The City Engineer is reviewing the preliminary plat for roadway and utility extensions and may make additional comments as well. Existing homes to be located on the north side of the proposed Bellvue Lane will continue in their present location with new accesses to their garages to be provided off the new street. Five foot wide drainage and utility easements are to be provided around the interior lot lines with ten foot wide easements on the front and rear lot lines. A 35 foot wide easement will be provided on the very east end of the plat over the proposed Lot 7,Block 2. This contains existing utilities and is a portion of 4th Street that will be vacated. Building setbacks for a principal building are 50 feet where it abuts with I-94 right-of-way(a major thoroughfare). A 20 foot wide drainage and utility easement, 10 feet each on Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, are proposed to accommodate sanitary sewer and water running between Bryant Avenue and the new Bellvue Lane. A 10 foot wide easement, 5 feet each on Lots 1 and 2, Block 1,will accommodate a 15 inch storm sewer line running between Bryant and the new Bellvue Lane. A matter that has been unintentionally overlooked until now is the need to rezone the approximate 25,000 sq. ft. area of land at the northeast comer of 53rd and Camden Avenues from its current R-4 zoning designation to R-2,which is the predominant zoning in this area. As • indicated previously,there have been a number of neighborhood meetings to determine the best way to redevelop this area, and this plat meets that criteria. We will need to go through a rezoning hearing process to accomplish the necessary rezoning and a separate application will be brought before the Planning Commission on June 11, 1998. In the meantime,the plat can go forward,however,no building permits could be issued over the proposed Lots 1,2 and 3,Block 2 until the rezoning process is complete. The total area comprehended in this plat is 6.48 acres. This is below the threshold for requiring Watershed Commission review of the plat. A public hearing has been scheduled for this preliminary plat and notice of the Planning Commission's consideration has been published in the Brooklyn Center Sun/Post. RECOMMENDATION The proposed preliminary plat appears to be in order and approval of this application is recommended subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances. • 5-14-98 Page 2 • 3. Approval of this plat acknowledges the need to rezone the proposed Lots 1,2 and 3, Block 2 from R-4 to R-2. The platting process may proceed,however, no building permits for said lots may be issued until the rezoning process has been completed. • • 5-14-98 Page 3 ', • '' I mum i ii ii ■>•7�7 . pi i ii ■ 1,� ` I w _ i iiiwi „■� . i � i■ii■ �■ a i i i i i' mm VASIL ME m mom ME mm mm _ it [•-:ha• � - � i i i' �i ii +7i s mm `'- �����• �i �..s —_ iii � 7� f _ ii ii � ■ a'1i ■ ' i ' ■ ■ __ I i i ■ ii my, ME mm mm mm ii i i• i ii ii i ii i i■ i ii ii ii iii ��� �_ ■■ _ ■�f i .������ i ■I�i i� i i ��; �a iii �_■ _�� =� �� ii ii .
