Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 90001
Applicant: Duane Saari
Location: 5113 Paul Drive, 6412 Scott Avenue North
Request: Variance (Subdivision by metes and bounds)
The applicant requests variance approval to allow a subdivision by
metes and bounds (rather than by formal plat) in order to relocate
the common property line between 5113 Paul Drive and 6412 Scott
Avenue North. The purpose of the subdivision is simply to redraw
the boundary line to be consistent with physical realities (such as
the Saaris' driveway) . It is not to create a separate buildable
I lot. Under the Subdivision Ordinance, subdivisions are to be
performed by plat or registered land survey. The proposal to
subdivide by metes and bounds requires a variance to be granted
from the Subdivision Ordinance. Generally, such variances are
granted as long as the following conditions apply:
1) No new buildable lots are created.
2) The underlying lots are platted.
' 3) Setbacks and lot area requirements will still be met
after the property line is redrawn.
All three of these conditions are met in this case. No buildable
lots are created. The underlying lots are platted. The resulting
lot areas will be 11,121 sq. ft. for the Rooney property (the
corner lot at 6412 Scott Avenue North) and 9,900 sq. ft. for the
Saari property (5113 Paul Drive, an interior lot) . City ordinances
require 10,500 sq. ft. for a corner lot and 9,500 sq. ft. for an
interior lot. The new lot line will be directly north-south,
whereas the existing lot line runs at an angle and lies within the
Saaris' driveway, or rather the Saari driveway lies partially on
the Rooneys' property. The new property line will leave the
Saaris' garage 4 .7 ' from the west lot line. The minimum required
by the Zoning Ordinance is 31 .
The proposed variance application appears to meet the City's policy
regarding subdivisions by metes and bounds. Approval is
recommended, subject to at least the following conditions:
1. The new legal descriptions and necessary deeds for
transfer of property shall be filed with the titles to
the property at the County.

Dear Mr. Gary Shallcross
We are requesting a change in the lot line between Duane
M Saari and John Rooney. This request is 'due to the lot line as
it now stands there is not a straight acess to the Saari garage.
His driveway runs over the Rooney property, in fact at the street
end of Saari ' s driveway the lot line is approximately in the
center of it.
When Saari ' s purchased the property 17+ years agoi, the
lot line irregularity did nol--show up during the closing or
the title search. After the closing the neighbors discussed the
problem and Saari agreed to go along with the agreement the
previous owner of the Paul Drive home and Mr. Rooney had made. That
agreement gave Rooney 12 feet at the back of his lot and 9.5 feet
at the front of the lot line at the street to Saari .
This change is an asset to both partiesfor Saari it is
straight acess to his garage, for Rooney it has squared off his
back yard and increased it.
Also, this change is necessary for either party to be able
to sell their property as it is not listable as is.
We appreciate your consideration of this problem and hope
you will see our problem and straighten the lot line out for us.
Thank you in advance.

Section 15-112. VARIANCES.
a. The council may authorize a variance from these regulations when in its
opinion, undue hardship may result from strict compliance. In granting
any variance the council shall prescribe only conditions that it deems
necessary to or desirable for the public interest.
I In making its findings as required herein below, the council shall take
into account the nature of the proposed use of land, the existing use
of land in the vicinity, the number of persons to reside or work in the
proposed subdivision and the probable effect of the proposed
subdivision upon traffic conditions in the vicinity. To grant a
variance, the council shall find:
' 1. That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting said
property such that the strict application of the provisions of this
ordinance would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his
land.
2. That the variance is .necessary for the preservation and enjoyment
of a substantial property right of the petitioner.
3. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to other property in the territory in
which said property is situated.
b. Application for any such variance shall be made in writing by the
subdivider at the time when the preliminary plat is filed for the
consideration of the council, stating fully and clearly all facts
relied upon by the petitioner and shall be supplemented with maps,
plans or other additional data which may aid the council in the
analysis of the proposed project. The plans for such development shall
include such covenants, restrictions, or other legal provisions
necessary to guarantee the full achievement of the plan.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission Members
FROM: Planning Staff
�I
SUBJECT: Uses Permitted in Cl, C2, and I-1 Zones
DATE: February 27, 1990
This memo is to return to the Planning Commission for consideration
a City-initiated rezoning application (No. 89003) to rezone a
number of parcels near or adjacent to the freeway from I-1 to C2,
and an ordinance amendment which would eliminate certain commercial
uses from the I-1 to C2, and an ordinance amendment which would
eliminate certain commercial uses from the I-1 zone special uses.
The Planning Commission considered these matters early in 1989 and
adopted Planning Commission Resolution Nos. 89-1 (Comprehensive
Plan amendment) and 89-2 (Rezoning) recommending to the City
Council adoption of a Comprehensive Plan amendment and the rezoning
on March 2, 199 : Attached is a copy of the minutes of the March
2, 198 P Planning Commission meeting, the resolutions and the
recomm nded ordinance amendment. These matters were not considered
by the City Council, but were held off, pending adoption of a
Planned Unit Development ordinance, which will add flexibility to
all zoning districts within the City.
Also attached for the Commission's consideration is a new draft
ordinance amendment regarding uses permitted in the C1, C2, and I-1
zones. It differs from the ordinance recommended by the Commission
in March 1989 in certain respects. First of all, it adds as a
permitted use, in the C1 and C2 zones, leasing offices provided
there is no storage or display of products on the use site.
Secondly, it removes automobile and truck rental and leasing as a
permitted use in the I-1 zone. It is believed that such a use,
unless it is simply a leasing office, would likely involve outdoor
storage of leased vehicles or inventory which is otherwise
prohibited in the I-1 zone. Thirdly, and most importantly, it
eliminates from the I-1 zone all retail sales uses as principal
uses. The previous ordinance amendment allowed certain single-
tenant retail uses, however, the City Attorney has expressed
I concerns about that approach. Retail sales as an accessory use
would still be allowed by special use permit. We feel that the
Schmitt Music use--which combines warehousing, educational lessons,
and retail sales--can be comprehended under this provision. Other
retail sales uses may be comprehended under a PUD approval.
Finally, the new ordinance amendment reduces the range of
commercial uses allowed in the I-1 zone by special use permit.
Among the uses to be eliminated from consideration would be:
eating establishments of all kinds, equipment rental and leasing
services, hospitals, gasoline service stations and motor vehicle
repair, transient lodging, clubrooms and lodges. School bus
garages and tennis clubs would be added as special uses in the I-1
zone.

Memo
Page 2
February 27, 1990
The general effect of these changes would be to make the I-1 zone
more of a zone for employment, where commerce would have a limited
role. The rezoning of land adjacent to the freeway should
accommodate commercial development demand in this area for some
time to come. Moreover, the PUD ordinance will add flexibility for
mixing uses which did not previously exist. We feel that the draft
ordinance amendment would include in the I-1 zone uses which are
likely to be compatible with, complementary to, and of comparable
intensity to the other uses permitted in the I-1 zone. A copy of
the C2 and I-1 permitted and special uses is attached for the
Commission's review. We will be prepared to discuss this matter
further at Thursday's meeting. It is hoped that the Commission can
act on the revised ordinance amendment at that time.
MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF
HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
MARCH 2, 1989
STUDY SESSION
CITY HALL
CALL TO ORDER
The Planning Commission met in study session and was called to order by Chairman Mike
Nelson at 7:31 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Chairman Mike Nelson, Commissioners Molly Malecki, Wallace Bernards, and Kristen
Mann. Also present were Director of Planning and Inspection Ronald Warren, City
Engineer Bo Spurrier and Planner Gary Shallcross.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - FEBRUARY 16, 1989
Motion by mi
Comssioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Bernards to approve the
minutes of the February 16, 1989 meeting as submitted. Voting in favor: Chairman
Nelson, Commissioners Malecki and Bernards. Voting against: none. Not voting:
Commissioner Mann. The motion passed.
/APPLICATION NO. 89003 (City of Brooklyn Center)
ollowing the Chairman's explanation, the Secretary introduced the first item of
business, a request for approval of a rezoning from I-1 to C2 of the land generally
lying near the freeway between Shingle Creek and Highway 100. The Secretary
reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Commission Information
Sheet for Application No. 89003 attached) .
The Secretary also reviewed with the Commission the draft ordinance amendment
regarding special uses in the I-1 zone. He explained that all of the uses that would
be eliminated were special uses. He went on to explain that there have been
amendments to the I-1 zone permitted uses in the past that have allowed more and more
commercial uses by special use permit. He stated that the concern arose last year
that the City would be unable to deny a special use permit for a convenience food
restaurant and a budget rate motel at the northwest corner of Freeway Boulevard and
Shingle Creek Parkway. He explained that the amended I-1 zone special uses would
eliminate transient lodging and convenience food restaurants as special uses in the
I-1 zone. He added that gas stations and multiple tenant retail centers would also
be excluded. He noted, however, that single tenant retail buildings offering for
sale large ticket items such as furniture and appliances would be allowed by special
use permit. He stated that he would consult with the City Attorney regarding the
legality of limiting retail uses to single tenant uses.
The Secretary then went on to review with the Commission the draft resolution on the
amendment of the Comprehensive Plan and the draft resolution regarding the proposed
rezoning. He explained that there should be a public hearing for both the
Comprehensive Plan amendment and the rezoning.
Chairman Nelson stated that he thought the ordinance amendment would regulate
eating establishments by setting a minimum number of seats. He asked why live
entertainment was selected as a describing element. The Secretary responded that
eating establishments are allowed as a permitted use in the C2 zoning district, but
that eating establishments offering live entertainment are classified as a special
use in the C2 zone and would also be a special use in the I-1 zone.
3-2-89 _1_
In response to a question from Chairman Nelson regarding the possible legal
challenge to the types of retail uses allowed, the Secretary stated that he thought
you could distinguish between establishments offering for sale large ticket items
such as furniture and appliances, and those which offer a broader range of products.
Chairman Nelson asked whether a Holiday warehouse would be permitted in the I-1
zone. The Secretary responded in the negative, noting that Holiday sells a variety
of items, some of which are not big ticket items.
Commissioner Bernards asked whether a single tenant establishment implied a
separate building. The Secretary responded in the affirmative, explaining
establishments could not be attached in multiple tenant buildings.
PUBLIC HEARING (Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Application No. 89003)
Chairman Nelson then opened the meeting for a public hearing on the Comprehensive
Plan amendment and on Application No. 89003 and asked whether anyone present wished
to speak regarding the application and amendment. Mr. Al Beisner, representing
Richardson and Sons, a prominent owner of land in the area to be rezoned, stated that
he was pretty much in agreement with the rezoning and the ordinance amendment
proposed by staff. He noted that a computer sales company has applied for space in
the Parkway Place building. The Secretary explained that retail sales of goods
wholesaled, processed or manufactured on the use site would still be a special use in
the I-1 zone. He stated that the concern that staff had at present was whether
retail sales could be limited to single tenant buildings. Mr. Beisner stated that
he thought the ordinance amendment would clean up the I-1 zone. He added that the
industrial park is becoming more service oriented than manufacturing or warehousing
oriented.
CLOSE PUBLIC 'HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Mann to close the public
hearing on Application No. 89003. The motion passed unanimously.
Chairman Nelson suggested that the draft ordinance be amended slightly to
comprehend "other uses similar in nature" on the single tenant retail uses
acknowledged in the I-1 zone. The Planner added that it might be appropriate to add
"as determined by the City Council" rather than giving the discretion to the staff to
make such a determination. Chairman Nelson stated that an appeal of a staff
determination could always be made if it went against a potential user. The
-Secretary pointed out that determinations by the City Council are relied on in the C1
and C2 zoning districts as well and such language might be appropriate.
Commissioner Bernards asked whether the traffic study which was done a couple of
years ago covered the area to be rezoned. The Secretary responded in the
affirmative, explaining that the traffic study included Brookdale and the entire
commercial and industrial area in the central part of town. Commissioner Bernards
stated that he saw the rezoning as having a neutral impact on potential development
in the area. The Secretary agreed, explaining that the rezoning would really
ratify the trend toward commercial development near the freeway. He explained that
the concern was aroused by a proposal to put a convenience food restaurant and a
budget motel at the northwest corner of Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard.
The City staff and Council did not feel that such a proposal was appropriate and the
ordinance amendment and rezoning are intended to address those concerns.
Mr. Al Beisner told the Planning Commission that Hardees and Super 8 would be going
into the area south of Freeway Boulevard and east of Shingle Creek Parkway in part of
3-2-89 -2-
the area to be rezoned. The Secretary stated that the City has had no problem with
commercial uses south of Freeway Boulevard and that is why that area is being
rezoned.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Mann seconded by Commissioner Malecki to close the public
hearing on the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment. The motion passed
unanimously.

MOTION RECOMMENDING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO THE I-1 ZONE SPECIAL USES
Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Mann to recommend an
ordinance amendment regarding special uses in the I-1 zone and including language
acknowledging uses similar in nature as determined by the City Council to the
allowable single tenant retail establishments. Voting in favor: Chairman
Nelson, Commissioners Malecki, Bernards and Mann. Voting against: none. The
motion passed.
The Secretary informed the Commission that he would be getting some additional
information from Mr. Donn Wiski, the City's consultant on land use regulations on
group homes, and would pass it along in the near future. The Secretary also stated
that he was grossly mis-stated by the Brooklyn Center Post in its February 23 issue
where some quotes were attributed to him regarding clientele in group homes. He
noted a number of erroneous quotes and clarified his statement to the Planning
Commission.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Commissioner Malecki to adjourn the meeting of the Planning Commission.
The motion passed unanimously. The Planning Commission adjourned at 8:17 P.m.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 89003
Applicant: City of Brooklyn Center
Location: Generally between I694 and Freeway Boulevard from Shingle Creek to
Days Inn and between I694 and Summit Drive between Shingle Creek
Parkway and Highway 100.
Request: Rezoning
This City-initiated rezoning was reviewed by the Planning Commission at its January
26, 1989 study meeting. The application was tabled and the public hearing
continued to a later date. A Comprehensive Plan amendment has been prepared and a
public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan amendment has been called.
The parcels affected by the rezoning have been highlighted on the attached area map
and are located generally between I694 and Freeway Boulevard from Shingle Creek to
the Days Inn (the Holiday Inn site is also included) and between Summit Drive and
I694 from Shingle Creek Parkway to Highway 100. The existing zoning is I-1
(Industrial Park) and the proposed zoning is C2 (Commerce).
Along with the rezoning application is a draft ordinance amendment which would
eliminate certain commercial uses from consideration in the I-1 zone (among them
transient lodging and convenience food restaurants). As we have indicated in our
previous report (attached), one purpose of the rezoning application is to ratify the
trend to commercial development where it seems most likely to occur and to limit the
possibilities of commercial development in the I-1 zone. The Commission is urged
to act on the ordinance concomitant with the rezoning.
The Comprehensive Plan amendment covers area 6a from the Land Use Revisions Map of
the Comprehensive Plan (attached). That area includes the Holiday Inn site, the
LaCasita restaurant, and land south of Freeway Boulevard and east of Shingle Creek
Parkway. The land use recommended for area 6a in Table 14 (also attached) of the
Plan is light industrial. We recommend broadening that designation to include
commercial and service/office uses as well. A draft resolution recommending the
Comprehensive Plan amendment is attached for the Commission's review. A
resolution relating to the rezoning application is also attached.

RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING AMENDMENT OF CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION
NO. 82-255 (COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RELATIVE TO LAND NORTH OF THE
FREEWAY AND EAST OF SHINGLE CREEK, ADJACENT TO FREEWAY BOULEVARD
WHEREAS, the City Council on December 20, 1982 adopted Resolution No. 82-
255, adopting the updated Brooklyn Center Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Plan's Land Use Revisions Map at page 98 (Table 14 and Figure
15) designates the area north of Interstate 694 (area 6a) for light industrial; and
WHEREAS, a rezoning request (Application No. 89003) by the City of
Brooklyn Center has been submitted to rezone 18 parcels comprising approximately 68
acres of land adjacent to Interstate 694 from I-1 (Light Industrial) to C2
(Commerce) to eliminate the possibility of industrial development on these parcels;
and
WHEREAS, the rezoning request is partially inconsistent with Table 14 of
the Plan which recommends only light industrial for part of the area considered for
rezoning; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has considered a Comprehensive Plan
amendment to Table 14 in conjunction with the rezoning application and finds the
rezoning proposal to be in the best interests of the community; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 35-202 of the City ordinances, the Planning
Commission held a public hearing on March 2, 1989 to consider an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Brooklyn Center Planning Advisory
Commission to recommend to the City Council, pursuant to Section 35-202 of the City
Ordinances, that City Council Resolution No. 82-255 (Comprehensive Plan) be mended
to allow commercial and service/office development in the area north of Interstate
94 and east of Shingle Creek (adjacent to Freeway Boulevard, area 6a of Table 14)
based upon the following findings:
1. Commercial and service/office development has already taken place in
this area and has been acknowledged under the existing I-1 zoning.
2. It is appropriate now to ratify the trend toward commercial
development near the Interstate by rezoning a number of parcels to C2.
Such a rezoning, however, is not strictly consistent with the Plan
recommendation for land north of the Interstate to be developed light
industrial.
3. Traffic impact in this area will not be adversely affected by such an
amendment and this amendment has no adverse effect on any Metropolitan
systems.
40 _ 4. Such a Comprehensive Plan amendment is in the best interests of the
community, given the above considerations.
RESOLUTION NO. 89-1
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Brooklyn Center Planning Advisory Commission
to recommend to the City Council that the Brooklyn Center Comprehensive Plan be

PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 89-2
RESOLUTION REGARDING RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF
APPLICATION NO. 89003 SUBMITTED BY THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
WHEREAS, Application No. 89003 submitted by the City of Brooklyn Center
proposes rezoning from I-1 (Industrial Park) to C2 (Commerce) of 67.73 acres of land
lying near Interstate 694 between Shingle Creek and Highway 100/Humboldt Avenue
North; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly called public hearing on
January 26, 1989 and concluded it on March 2, 1989 when testimony regarding the
request was taken; and
WHEREAS, the Commission on March 2, 1989 considered and recommended by
Planning Commission Resolution No. 89-1 , an amendment to the Brooklyn Center
Comprehensive Plan allowing for light industrial , commercial and service/office
development over that part of the area north of Interstate 694.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Brooklyn Center Planning Advisory
Commission to recommend to the City Council that Application No. 89003 submitted by
the City of Brooklyn Center be approved in consideration of the following:
4r 1. The proposed C2 zoning is consistent with the Brooklyn Center
46t- Comprehensive Plan, in light of the amendment proposed in Planning
Commission Resolution No. 89-1.
2. Existing and proposed development of the parcels to be rezoned is
consistent with the C2 zoning designation and in many cases would be
inconsistent with the I-1 zoning designation as the I-1 district is
amended to exclude certain commercial uses, such as convenience food
restaurants, transient lodging and bowling alleys.
3. It is appropriate to ratify the trend of a commercial, as opposed to
industrial, development adjacent to Interstate 694 because the
Shingle Creek Parkway Interchange has increased the visibility and
accessibility of parcels wear the Interstate and made them much more
appropriate for commercial development.
4. The proposed C2 zoning is consistent with and compatible with
surrounding land use classifications.
5. A permitted use in the C2 zoning district can be contemplated for
development of the subject property.
6. The property in question will bear fully the ordinance development
restrictions of the C2 zoning district.
7. In light of the above, it is believed that the proposed rezoning meets
the guidelines for evaluating rezonings set forth in Section 35-208 of
the Brooklyn Center Zoning Ordinance.

7219 Grimes Avenue No.
Brooklyn Center, MN 55429
City Of Brooklyn Center
Planning Commission
Mr. Gary Shallcross :
This letter is to provide the information you requested for the
Planning Commission concerning my application for zoning approval
of a home occupation (Custom Woodworking) at 7219 Grimes Avenue No.
The information is provided under the headings indicated in your
letter as follows:
Nature of Activity
The occupation will be utilizing the 17. 5'X24 ' area in the garage and
a 131X27 ' area in the house basement. The garage area will be insulated,
sheetrocked and supplied with double glass windows to eliminate any
external noise from the equipment operation.
Hours of Operation
Because this is a second occupation for both partners, (Father/Son) the
operation will be conducted two-three ( 2-3) evenings a week from 6:00-
10:00 p.m. and on Saturdays as necessary from 9:OOa.m. -5:OOp.m.
Parking Space Available
The current driveway 101X90' provides adequate off street parking for
the partners and an occassional customer. No retail sales will be
conducted from the location. Only occasional customers will come to
check progress of orders or pay for woodworking.
Nonresident Employee
No non-resident employees are anticipated. Only the two partners (Father/
Son) will be conducting the occupation at the indicated address. The
partner (Son) is a non-resident residing at 5025 Drew Avenue No. If
employees are required the occupation would be moved to a larger building.
It is not now planned to increase the occupation sales until I retire
from my present position with Honeywell in 3-6 years .
• Safety Measures
Normal safety measures will be applied to operation of all equipment.
In addition an internal dust collection system will be installed
in the garage. No dust will be exhausted from the garage.
Expected Sianery
A small sign ( 2.5 sq. ft. maximum) would be placed in the front lawn
to indicate location of the occupation.
State License
The home occupation is licensed with the State of Minnesota as a
Father/Son partnership under the name "Roop' s Custom Woodworking" .
If you require any additional information or clarification please
contact me at the following numbers , daytime 378-5331 , evenings
561-3154.
Thank you for answering my questions and providing all of the
necessary forms.
Sincerely,
David Roop
