Adjournment o t � • M Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 80044 Applicant: Lutheran Church of the Master Location: 1200 - 69th Avenue North Request: Preliminary Plat The applicant requests preliminary plat approval of "Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Master" addition which consists of two lots: lot one for the church and lot two for the single-family residence which heretofore has been the church parsonage. The properties are addressed 1200 and 1120 - 69th Avenue North and are bounded by 69th Avenue North on the south, apartment buildings on the west, 70th Avenue North on the north and Emerson Avenue North, Emerson Lane, and some smaller apartments on the east. The plat is proposed in accordance with the site and building plan approval granted by the City Council , under Appli- cation No. 80025 for the addition of a fellowship hall . Both lots are zoned RI and meet ordinance requirements. A storage shed located just over the property line separating the two lots should be relocated to meet setbacks. As this property is presently unplatted, no right-of-way dedication has been made for 70th Avenue North. That dedication is being made with the proposed plat. Consistent with other replats of property along 69th Avenue North, it is recommended that 7 feet of additional right-of-way for 69th Avenue North be dedicated with this plat. In other respects, the proposed plat is in order and approval is recommended, subject to at least the following conditions: 1 . The final plat is subject to approval by the City Engineer. 2. The final plat is subject to the requirements of Chapter 15 of the City's Ordinances. 3. The plat shall be modified, prior to final plat approval , to indicate dedication of 7 feet of additional right-of-way along 69th Avenue North. 4. The storage shed on the northwest portion of lot 2 shall be relocated in a manner to meet setback requirements for accessory structures prior to final plat approval . A public hearing has been scheduled and notices have been sent. 10-23-80 y it ii I • NEW lingo mm MEN CITY - MAINTENANCE ANNEX -WATER TOWER Rim SCHOOL HIGH .r ,Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 80045 Applicant: Gittleman Corporation Location: 4500-90 - 58th Avenue North Request: Site and Building Plan The applicant requests site and building plan approval to rebuild four garages destroyed by fire on June 14, 1980, and to complete a small parking lot adjacent to the garages. The project is in the area of Apartment No. 19 at the Twin Lake North Apartment complex. Since the garages and the parking lot are not adjacent to any public right-of-way, no setback or greenstrip requirements apply. The primary concerns of staff are that the parking area be surrounded by B612 curb and gutter and meet ordinance requirements for dimensions; also that the garages, which are attached to Apart- ment No. 19 be built with fire stops to keep smoke from. infilt.rating the residential building. The proposed parking area does meet ordinance standards and the appli- cant has agreed to install fire stops not only in the garages to be rebuilt, but in all the other garages in the complex as well . Exterior treatment of the garages will be consistent with the remainder of the complex. The plans seem to be in order and.approval .is therefore, .recommended subject to at least the following conditions: 1 . Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official prior to the issuance of permits. 2. Grading and drainage plans are subject to approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of building permits. 3. A performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee (in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be sub- .nitted to assure completion of approved site improvements. 4. ' Fire stops shall be installed in all garages in the Twin Lake North Apartment complex prior to release of the performance guarantee. 5. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around the new. parking lot. 6. The parking lot surface shall meet the minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and be appropriately stripped. 10-23-80 4 • n mmra.a�c Bill SCHOOL NINE Iloilo too �y mini f � �� t i Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 80033 Applicant: A.F.I.A. Associates Location: 5901 John Martin Drive • Request: Variance The applicant has submitted a request for a variance from Section 34-140:2,1 (4) of the Sign Ordinance to allow a 25 sq. ft'. wall sign for real estate purposes rather than the 5 sq. ft. maximum permitted by the Sign Ordinance. The application was considered and tabled by the Planning Commission at, its September 11 , 1980 meeting. The Commission is referred to the minutes and the staff report for that meeting for a discussion of the merits of the variance. Since the tabling of the application, the staff have developed and the Commission has refined the attached ordinance amendment. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission, by motion, recommend denial of Application No. 80033 on the grounds that the Standards for Variances are not met. It is also recommended that the Commission take action to recommend adoption of the proposed ordinance amendment. We will be prepared to review the ordinance in more detail and answer. questions at Thursday evening's meeting. 10-23-80 •� CENTRAL -7 7 --,--- PROPOSED ROADWAYS Y--t PROPOSED BRIDGES GARDEN i...CITY e vt' PARK - I 1 O i R7 Z Ii 3 0 cr i S UM Nil T R tic D lVe W CIA J Q A A C2 GRANDV PAR!.

The applicant's representative stated then that the gas station on the site will be owned by K-Mart, but leased to a separate operator. Therefore, the permit to be issued under this application will only authorize operation of the auto center. We have not as yet received a complete revised plan. Rather, the applicant is expected to submit a red-lined plan showing the revisions required by the Planning Commission. These include the following: 1 . Underground irrigation along the north greenstrip area. 2. Closing of at least one entrance to Brooklyn Boulevard and possibly the westerly entrance to 63rd Avenue North. 3. The planting of a hedgerow 2a' to 3' in height in the greenstrip along Brooklyn Boulevard and along 63rd Avenue North. 4. Opaque fencing 6' high along the property line shared with the apartments to the north. • 5. Installation of B612 curb and gutter along the north side of the parking lot. 6. The planting of taller growing trees, 22" to 3" in diameter at 40' intervals along the north greenstrip and along the north t end of the east greenstrip. s 7. Repainting of ductwork along the north. side of the building. 8. More landscaping around the gas station. 9. Improve the drainage pattern on the site. 10. Make other necessary repairs to the building and barrier walls on the site. In addition to these revisions, the applicant has indicated a willingness to close the south curb opening along Brooklyn. Boulevard. Staff have discussed the K-Mart site with representatives of MN/DOT and a formal written recommendation should be forthcoming by Thursday night.'s meeting. Beyond the closing of the south curb p opening, it has been recommended that the middle entrance be redesigned to face the Boulevard at a 900 angle;and that the City consider the closing of the westerly curb opening along 63rd Avenue North. It should also be noted that the restriction on the hours of operation at the auto Scenter apply to service of vehicles only. Sales may continue during the hours the K-Mart store is open. 10-23-80 i Application No. 80038 continued If the Planning Commission deems the plans to be satisfactory, at least the follow- ing conditions are recommended: 1 .
