REGULAR SESSION OCTOBER 9 , 1980 CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER The Planning Commission met in regular session and was called to order by Chairman William Hawes at 7: 34 p.m. ROLL CALL Chairman Hawes, Commissioners Malecki, Theis , Erickson and Simmons. Also present were Director of Planning and Inspections Ronald Warren and Planning Assistant Gary Shallcross. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - September 25, 1980 Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Theis to approve the minutes of the September 25, 1980 meeting as submitted. Voting in favor- : Chairman Hawes, Commissioners Malecki , Theis, and Simmons. Voting against: none. Not voting: Commissioner Erickson. APPLICATION NO. 80032 (Randall Cook) Following the Chairman's explanation, the Secretary introduced the first item of business , a request to rezone the� land from 5301 to 5407 Brooklyn Boulevard from R1 to R2. The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report and referred the Planning Commission to the minutes of the Southwest Neighborhood Advisory Group meeting and to a previous staff report on the rezoning. He pointed out to the Planning Commission that since the report was completed, a petition from the applicant signed by all affected property owners, has been received. (See Planning Commission Information Sheets for Application No. 80032 attached) Following a brief check of the petition submitted, Commissioner Erickson inquired as to comments at the Neighborhood Advisory Group meeting. Chairman Hawes , who had attended that meeting, stated that there were no adverse comments at the meeting, that people living in the neighborhood generally considered it a good solution to the problem of getting the larger vacant lots developed. The Secretary added that the new zoning designation would actually eliminate a nonconforming situation on one or two lots south of the Northport Medical Clinic which do not meet the R1 district requirements for lot width. PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Hawes then opened the meeting for a public hearing. It was noted that no one commented as to the rezoning. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING Motion by Commissioner Erickson seconded by Commissioner Malecki to close the public hearing. Voting in favor: Chairman Hawes, Commissioners Malecki, Erickson and Simmons. Voting against: none. Not voting: Commissioner Theis. The motion passed. 10-9-80 -1- ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 80032 (Randall Cook) Motion by Commissioner Erickson seconded by Commissioner Theis to recommend approval of Application No. 80032, a request by Randall Cook to rezone from R1 to R2 the land contained within the lots addressed 5301 to 5407 Brooklyn Boulevard, for the following reasons: 1. The proposal meets the guidelines for rezonings. 2. The proposed rezoning will comply with the proposed Comprehensive Plan. 3. The proposed zoning will correct nonconforming situations existing on the land. Voting in favor: Chairman Hawes, Commissioners Malecki, Theis, Erickson and Simmons. Voting against: none. The motion passed. Noting that there was no representative present for K-Mart, Q Petroleum, or Brookdale Ford, the Secretary suggested that Appli- cation No. 80042 be taken up next. APPLICATION NO. 80042 (Donald C. Scott) The Secretary reviewed the staff report for the following business item, a request for a variance from Section 35-400 of the Zoning Ordinance to create a 92. 86 lot for a four plex on the property at 7211 West River Road which is zoned R4. (See Planning Commis- Information Sheet for Application No. 80042 attached) . In answer to a question from Chairman Hawes regarding right-of-way widening for Highway 252, the Secretary stated that the evaluation of the Minnesota Department of Transportation is in the Environ- mental Impact Statement stage. The Secretary pointed out that something is bound to happen to the highway and the City prefers a facility four or six lanes wide with a central median and a speed limit of 45 miles per hour rather than a highway. He stated that all indications at this time are that the widening of the right-of-way will be to the west and will probably take the first tier of lots along West River Road. Commissioner Erickson stated that speculation regarding the highway widening should not . affect the consideration of the requested variance which would allow development of land within the future right-of-way area. Commissioner Simmons stated that the question seems to be whether to allow a variance fora four plex or to allow only another permitted multiple family use to be built which would not require a variance. The Secretary stated that he sees no need for the requested variance in light of the option to put townhouses on the vacant land to the north of the residence. He also stated that the house which is located on the property is nonconforming and could be moved off the property to allow for two lots meeting the ordinance requirement of 100 feet in width for; R4 type uses. Commissioner Simmons noted that there does not seem to be a serious hardship while other development options exist. 10-9-80 -2- In answer to questions from Commissioner Malecki, the Secretary stated that uses permitted in the R3 zone include townhouses, garden apartments, single family attached condomini ums and that these differ from a four plex by the fact that they all have ground floor entrances for each unit. The Secretary recalled for the Commission the R3 developments approved along Humboldt Avenue on parcels zoned R5. Commissioner Theis observed that the same number of townhouses could be built on the property as R4 units using the tuckunder garage credit. The Secretary acknowledged this and pointed out that the tuckunder garage credit has been allowed in some cases. In answer to a question from Commissioner Simmons, the Secretary acknowledged that town- houses built on the land could either be rented or sold. PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Hawes then opened the meeting for a public hearing. Mr. Donald C. Scott, the applicant representing the owners of the property at 7211 West River Road, stated that he had not been aware of the R3 option. He stated that he was very happy to accept the suggestion that the property be developed for town- houses. He stated that the problem with the lot at the present time is that it is just too large for one residential family to maintain. He asked how many R3 units would be permitted. The Secretary stated that five units would be. permitted based on the normal density calculation. Mr. Scott stated that he would use tuckunder garages with any townhouse development. The Secretary responded that he could not guarantee that the optional credit for using tuckunder garages would be granted, but encouraged the applicant to pursue the platting and site and building plan procedure for townhouse development. Mr. Scott and the Secretary briefly discussed various possibilities for developing the prop- erty. Mr. Scott assured the Commission that the owner's desire that a quality development be built on the excess land. He also commented that speculation regarding the highway widening along 252 has been going on for many years. The Secretary suggested that the applicant ask the Planning Commission to acknowledge a withdrawal of the variance application. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING There being no other comments on the application, there was a motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Theis to close the public hearing. Voting in favor: Chairman Hawes , Commissioners Malecki, Theis , Erickson and Simmons. Voting against: none. - The motion passed. The Secretary stated that the staff's research .on the application had been completed only shortly before the Planning Commission meeting and that the option to develop the property with an R3 use did not arise in earlier discussions with the applicant. ACTION ACKNOWLEDGING WITHDRAWAL OF APPLICATION NO. 80042 (Donald C. Scott) Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Theis to acknowledge withdrawal of Application No. 80042, submitted by Donald Scott. Voting in favor: Chairman Hawes, Commissioners Theis, Erickson, Simmons and Malecki. Voting against: none. The motion passed. APPLICATION NO. 80043 (Jesse Sandoval) The Secretary introduced the next item of business, a request 10-9-80 -3- for a special use permit to conduct a saw sharpening home occupation in the basement of the residence at 5548 Logan Avenue North. He reviewed the contents of the staff report (See Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 80043 attached) . The Secretary pointed out the conclusion of the report that there is one other saw sharpening home occupa- tion in the City and that it is listed as an example 'of special home occupations in the City's Zoning Ordinance. In answer to a question from Commissioner Erickson, the Secre- tary stated that to his knowledge, no hours of operation were stipulated for the other saw sharpening home occupation. Com- missioner Simmons asked whether the City had any right to re- quire a curtain between the machine area and the rest of the basement. The Secretary answered that it was more of a practi- cal matter to contain debris. The Secretary stated that if hours of operation are limited, it should be more on the basis of possible noise created by the operation than because of traffic. Commissioner Simmons pointed out that the business would not have customers staying long at the residence. She also noted that while the machines may not be audible outside the dwelling at 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon, they might well be noticeable after 10 :00 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Hawes then opened the meeting for a public hearing. Mr. Jesse Sandoval stated that the machines he would be using are very quiet, that the operation was not intended to have set hours , but would respond 'to work orders as the case might be. He also stated that he intends to put up an accordion type door across the opening between the machine area and the recreation room. In answer to a question from Commissioner Malecki, Mr. Sandoval stated that people would not wait while their work was being finished. He - added that he might establish a pickup station at a hardware store nearby so that people would not even have to - come back to his residence. Commissioner Malecki asked whether Mr. Sandoval would object to limiting the hours to before 10 :00 p.m. Mr. Sandoval stated he would not object. In answer to a question from the Secretary, Mr. Sandoval stated that he will use Foley equipment. He. pointed out that the firm is located in Minneapolis and again stressed that the equipment is quiet. In answer to Commissioner Theis , Mr. Sandoval stated that he could not afford the equipment to do router bits. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING There being no further public comment, there was a motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Erickson to close the public hearing. Voting in favor: Chairman Hawes, Com- missioners Malecki, Theis, Erickson and Simmons. Voting against: none. The motion passed. There was a lengthy discussion regarding the hours of operation which should apply to the business. Finally, Chairman Hawes suggested that the hours be limited to 9 :00 a.m. to 9 :30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 :00 a.m. to 5 :00 p.m. on Saturday. 10-9-80 -4- CORRECTION The other Commissioners agreed to the suggestion. ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 80043 (Jesse Sandoval) Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Simmons to recommend approval of Application No. 80043, a request for a special use permit to conduct a saw sharpening home occupation in the basement of the residence at 5548 Logan Avenue North, subject to the following conditions : 1. The permit is issued to the applicant as operator and is nontransferable. 2. The permit is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances , and regulations; and violation thereof shall be grounds for revocation. 3.

The motion passed. r RECESS The Planning Commission recessed at 8:45 p.m. and resumed at 9 :07 p.m. APPLICATION NO. 80038 and 80039 (K-Mart Corporation)application Following the recess, the Secretary introduced the app of K-Mart Corporation for a special use permit to operate an existing auto center and an existing gas station at 3600-63rd Avenue North, and also site and building plan approval .for a new outdoor garden shop. The- Secretary reviewed the staff reports (attached) for this application and also for a pre- liminary R. L. S. application to combine the three parcels on the site into one ,parcel. (See Planning Commission Information Sheets for Application No. 80038 and 80039 attached). Chairman Hawes stated that the Planning Commission should take a long hard look at the openings onto Brooklyn Boulevard before accepting the proposed site plan. He also suggested that more berming be provided around the site to cut out the sea of black- top from the view of nearby residents and passing motorists. The Secretary noted that there is a five foot high brick wall 10-9-80 -5- along the east side of the site which effectively screens the parking lot from the residences to the east. The Secretary also pointed out that staff have requested and the applicant has agreed to provide opaque screening of the parking lot from the R5 use to - tire north of the site. The Secretary also noted that the current ordinance requires a greenstrip between C2 and Rl of 35 feet, while only 25 feet is shown on the plan. He stated that if the 25 feet is considered acceptable in light of the institutional R1 use to the north (Garden City School) this should be clearly stated by the Planning Commission. He went on to point out the no man's land between a `fence along the south edge of the greenstrip and the property line where another fence exists . He recommended relocating the chainlink fence along the south edge of the greenstrip to the north prop- perty line. Chairman Hawes and Commissioner Simmons both expressed concern about any turn movements into the gas station from Brooklyn Boulevard. The Secretary pointed out that it is impossible to make a left turn into the gas station from Brooklyn Boulevard. Returning to the proposed garden center, Commissioner Simmons noted that trees sold at the center might be stored outs}de on the only parking spaces close to the garden center. She suggested that this might lead to parking of vehicles in un- authorized areas. In answer to Commissioner Erickson, the Secretary acknowledged that the new garden store_ addition would replace the garden shop in the middle of the parking lot uti- lized during the summer by the former tenants. In response to a comment from Commissioner Simmons, the Secretary stated that the west end of the building .would not be an appropriate loca- tion for the garden center since that area is to be leased to Red owl for a Country Store.* In response to questions from Commissioner Theis and Commissioner Erickson, the Secretary stated that the applicant had expressed willingness to spruce the site up, but had not responded posi- tively to requests from staff to install more landscaping, under- ground irrigation, etc. PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Hawes then opened the meeting for a public hearing. Mr. Jay Jeschke, representing K-Mart Corporation addressed the Commission and stated that he concurred with the remarks of the Secretary. He pointed out that the garden center would consist of an enclosed area, an area covered by a canopy, and finally, a fenced-in area. He indicated that the area denoted on the plan is the area to be contained by a fence. In answer to Commissioner Simmons, Mr. Jeschke stated that there would be parking behind the building. and that people would probably find this parking eventually, though there would be an initial adjustment period. In answer to Chairman Hawes, Mr. Jeschke stated that the fire lane between the garden center and the east edge of the lot should . be indicated by striping and fire lane signs. Chairman Hawes suggested that .something permanent and noticeable would have to be done to control the springtime traffic. Mr. Jeschke answered that that would have to be monitored. 10-9-80 -6- There followed a discussion regarding the fencing along the north property line, and around the mechanical equipment on the north side of the building. Mr. Jeschke suggested that re- painting the duct work on the back of the building would improve its appearance. He stated the desire of K-Mart to cooperate with the City, but added that the corporation has set a budget to work within in rejuvenating the site. He pointed out the new plantings to be installed along Beard Avenue North and Brooklyn Boulevard. Commissioner Simmons and Chairman Hawes both suggested better screening along the north property line. Mr. Jeschke responded that large trees cost a great deal of money and that the budget allotted to this K-Mart store was only enough to repair the existing underground irrigation system and would not allow for any additions to that system. Chairman Hawes stated that the proposed plan does not provide adequate landscaping and does not meet ordinance requirements in various respects. He stated that the Planning Commission should not reconsider the plan until it has been revised to indicate that deficiencies will be corrected. Chairman Hawes polled the Planning Commission regarding the pro- posed plan. Commissioners Erickson and Simmons both expressed feelings similar to that of the Chairman. Commissioner Theis also agreed and stressed that access to Brooklyn Boulevard should be reduced from the current three openings. He also requested . more landscaping to hide the large blacktopped area. Commissioner Malecki concurred and clarified that the shrubbery along Brooklyn Boulevard and 63rd should be 2� to 3 feet in height and not simply low-lying Junipers. Commissioner Malecki also asked the applicant what K-Mart intended to do with the gas station. Mr. Jeschke answered that the station would be owned by K-Mart, but leased to a separate operator. The Secretary explained that the old -Shopper' s City building has been on the site for about 20 years, but has not been before the Planning Commission for the past 10 or 12 years. He stated that maintenance of the site has been poor and that the present appli- cation is the proper occasion for the City to review site de- ficiencies with the new owners and to seek corrections. He also explained that the new landscaping does not have to be completed before the special use permit is issued to operate the gas station and the auto center, but that a definite plan must be approved with a performance agreement and financial guarantee to ensure installation of all site improvements. He concluded by saying that budgets set by private developers do present a problem, but are not grounds for a variance from ordinance standards. Chairman Hawes encouraged the applicant to go through the painful process of bringing the site up to current standards , adding that once this is accomplished, the property owner will appreciate it in the future. Commissioner Malecki pointed out that there is a drainage problem at the site when there is a substantial rainfall in late winter. In answer to a question from Commissioner Erickson, the Secretary acknowledged that the gas station and the auto center are both nonconforming uses in that they abut single family residences 10-9-80 -7- across a street and stated that they would be allowed to con- tinue, but not to expand in size or in the nature of their operation.

The Secretary reviewed the contents of staff report No. 80040 (See Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 80040 attached) . Following the presentation of the staff report, the Secretary added that the City Engineer has recommended a 3/4" bituminous overlay be applied to the blacktop area on the site. Chairman Hawes asked whether there would be a problem if mer chandise were stored outside on the sidewalk in front of the building. The Secretary stated that an area would have to be left open for the handicapped. Commissioner Simmons asked how the fire lane between the building and the gas pumps would be enforced. The Secretary answered that, for the most part, en- forcement would be the responsibility of the applicant, but added that the police will enforce fire lane restrictions if they are properly designated. In answer to Commissioner Erickson, the Secretary stated that no underground irrigation system had been installed by Shell Oil when it owned the site. PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Hawes then opened the meeting for a public hearing. A representative of Q Petroleum stated that the operation includes the sale of convenience items to add some versatility to the gas sales operation. In response to Commissioner Simmons , the repre- sentative stated that 7 Eleven is actually looking forward to the new operation since competition often leads to expanded bus iness for all parties involved. 10-9-80 -8 Mr. Kevin Ganyaw, also representing Q Petroleum, pointed out that the handicapped ramp was shown on the floor plan, although it was omitted from the site plan. Chairman Hawes asked whether the applicant understood the requirement for a 3/4" bituminous overlay. Mr. Ganyaw answered that they do not oppose this re- quirement. In answer to a question from the Planning Assistant, Mr. Ganyaw stated that the operation would be open 24 hours a day. The Secretary stated that staff does not oppose this arrangement.

APPLICATION NO. 80041 (Brookdale Ford) The Secretary introduced the next item of business, a request for a variance from Section 34-130 :11 of the Sign Ordinance to permit two off-site directional signs on the Brookdale Square property in order to direct traffic moving southbound on Shingle Creek Parkway to the Brookdale Ford site. He reviewed the con- tents of the staff report (See Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 80041 attached) . At the conclusion of his report, the Secretary stated that Condition No. 2, forbidding any other signery along Shingle Creek Parkway, was consistent with the approval of a similar variance application regarding .the Cinema I, II, III, IV property under Application No. 79062. PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Hawes opened the meeting for a public hearing. Mr. Scott Powell of Brookdale Ford asked whether it would be necessary to consider another variance application if the use on the Brookdale Ford site were changed. The Secretary responded that the message on the sign could be changed since it would be considered a per- mitted sign by virtue of the variance. He added, however, that a_ larger sign of the same type would require a variance application. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING -_ There being no further comments regarding the application, there 10-9-80 -10- was a motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Simmons to close the public hearing.

Voting in favor: Chairman Hawes, Commissioners Malecki, Theis , Erickson and Simmons. Voting against: none. The motion passed. DISCUSSION ITEMS a. Real Estate Signs The ecretary istributed to the Planning Commission draft ordinance amendments to Section 34-140 :2 (1) , 3, and 4 prepared by Janis Blumentals and also a copy prepared by the staff. He reviewed the contents of the staff ordinance draft, commented that it is not as liberal as that proposed by Mr. Blumentals , and added that he recommended a go-slow approach to allowing larger real estate signs. Chairman Hawes expressed concern that real estate signs which are supposed to be temporary may become permanent. The Secretary stated that he was unaware of a serious problem with real estate signs and added that the intent of the ordinance is to allow them only when a• vacancy occurs. Commissioner Theis suggested that the ordinance language include a statement that "in no event shall such signs be up if there is no vacancy. " Commissioner Erickson stated that he had noticed real estate signs on Brooklyn Boulevard and expressed the feeling that 10 square feet is a liberal amount of signage for real estate purposes. Commissioners Theis and Erickson both stated that the substance of the draft ordinance is acceptable and covers the concerns ex- pressed by the Commission. 10-9-80 -11- b. Truck Dealership The Secretary briefly informed the Commission that he had re- ceived inquiries about the McCulloch building by a firm which sells over-the-road trucks. He explained that the City Council changed the Zoning Ordinance in relation to special uses in the I-1 zone some years ago. He pointed out that these changes allowed many commercial uses in the I-1 zone , but specifically excluded the sale of motor vehicles at retail. Such uses, he said, are restricted to the .C2 zone. Commissioner Theis stated that he did not want to see car or truck dealerships in the Industrial Park zone. In answer to Chairman Hawes, the Secretary pointed out that such an operation could locate in the Lynbrook Bowl area. He stated that he would in- dicate to the company that the Planning Commission is not receptive to the idea of selling trucks from the McCulloch . building. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Commissioner Theis seconded by Commissioner Erickson to adjourn the meeting of the Planning Commission. Voting in favor: Chairman Hawes, Commissioners Malecki, Theis , Erickson and Simmons. Voting against: none. The motion passed. The Planning Commission adjourned at 11:24 p.m. Chairman 10-9-80 -12-
