Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 79055
Applicant: Edwin Kauffmann
Location: Logan Avenue south of 58th Avenue
Request: Rezoning
The applicant is seeking rezoning from Cl (Service/Office) to R3 (Townhouse
Garden Apartments) of a tract of land, slightly less than an acre in size,
located at the southeast corner of Logan and 58th Avenues North. The land in
question comprises roughly the northeast one quarter of the 5700 block of
Logan Avenue and is bounded on the west by Northbrook Shopping Center, on the
north by an apartment complex, on the east by single-family homes and on the
south by a 75' wide private utility easement.
The applicant has submitted a site plan of the area (Application No. 79056)
and is proposing to replat the area to provide for four two-unit buildings
with individual lots of 34' x 96 ' and the remainder for common area. The land
is presently described as Lot 1 , Block 1 , Northbrook Center Addition and measures
roughly 134' x 295' for a total land area of 39,643 square feet. At a •density
of eight units per acre, the parcel can accommodate 7.34 R3 type units . However,
the applicant proposes to utilize tuck-under garages which, under Section 35-410
of the Zoning Ordinance, entitle the builder to a credit of 500 square feet per
garage space. With one or two garage spaces per unit, the density allowable
is at least 8 units.
The applicant has submitted a letter outlining how he feels the proposal meets
the Rezoning Evaluation Policy and Review Guidelines . (attached)
The preliminary recommendation of the Planning Consultant for this parcel is
down zoning to R1 . (The parcel was considered too small for an R3 development
which generally requires a development of 15 units to break even. Apparently
the applicant .considers an eight unit complex sufficiently profitable) .
The present Comprehensive Plan, however, encourages one to one and one-half
storey "apartment buildings as a transition between Northbrook Shopping Center
and nearby single family housing to the east. (p. 58) Staff consider the
present C1 zoning to be inappropriate and a down zoning of the property to a
residential use to be more suitable to this location. There does not seem to
be any major conflict with the guidelines for evaluating rezonings which are
attached for the Commission's review.
As with all rezoning applications, it is recommended that the' Commission,
following review and discussion of the proposal and the holding of a public
hearing, table the application and refer it to the Southeast Neighborhood
Advisory Group for further review and comment.

Director of Planning and Inspection
City of Brooklyn Center
6301 Shingle Creek Parkway
Brooklyn Center , MN 55430
Re : Rezoning Application for Lot 1 , Block 1 , Northbrook Center
Addition ( Proposed Northbrook Estates Development )
Dear Mr . Warren :
We are requesting rezoning of the 39 , 643 sq . ft . parcel of land
lying on the southeast quadrant of Logan Avenue North and 58th
Avenue North from C-1 to R- 3 . We are proposing to develop the land
with 8 condominium single family attached dwelling units , utilizing
the 500 sq . ft , reduction in required land area for each required
parking stall in or under a multiple residence as provided for by
-Section 35-400-1 ( c ) of the City Zoning Ordinance . This reduction
would allow developing the parcel with nine total uni.ts rather
than our proposed eight units . The eight proposed units will
consist of four buildings with two dwelling units in each building .
We proposed to subdivide the parcel into eight individual lots and
one large common area so that all of the units can be privately
owned single family homes .
Response to the rezoning guideline questions are as follows :
a ) Is there a clear and public need or benefit?
Yes . The proposed rezoning will provide the availability
of additional housing units in the City of Brooklyn Center
and the Earle Brown 'School District . The dwelling units
will be available at a cost lower than traditional single
family homes because of the density and construction cost
savings .
Mr . Ron Warren
Re ; Proposed Northbrook Estates
Page 2
b) Is the proposed zoning consistent with and compatible with
surrounding land use classifications ?
Yes . The proposed zoning is consistent with and compatible
with the surrounding land use classification because the
area to the south is zoned R-4 , the area to the north is
zoned R-5 , the area to the west is zoned C-2 , and the area
to the east is zoned R-1 . The proposed R- 3 zoning provides
for an excellent transitional zoning and buffering of the
existing R-1 zoned properties east of the subject parcel
from the C-2 zoned Northbrook Shopping Center property lying
west of the parcel .
c ) Can all permitted uses in the proposed zoning district be
contemplated for development of the subject property?
Yes . It is our opinion that all permitted uses in the
. proposed R- 3 zoning district can be contemplated for
development of the subject property with no detrimental
effect to surrounding properties .
d ) Have there been substantial physical or zoning classification
changes in the area since the subject property was zoned?
No . It - is our understanding that there has not been' any
physical or zoning classification changes in the area
since the subject property was zoned .
e ) In the case of City- initiated rezoning proposals , is there
a broad public purpose evident?
Not applicable.
f) Willthe subject property bear fully the ordinance development
restrictions for the proposed zoning districts ?
Yes .
g) Is the subject property generally unsuited for uses permitted
in the present zoning district , with respect to size , config-
uration , topography or location ?
This parcel is one of a few parcels of commercial property
in the City of Brooklyn Center which does not abut or have
exposure to a major thoroughfare street . This is perhaps
the major reason the subject parcel has not been previously.
developed and therefore seems to be more suitable for residential
development than commercial .

Re : Proposed Northbrook Estates

h ) Willthe rezoning result in the expansion of a zoning district ,
warranted by : 1 ) Comprehensive Planning ; 2 ) the lack of
developable land in the proposed zoning district ; or 3) the
best interests of the community?
Yes . It is our understanding the City ' s Planning Consultant
is recommending this property to be reclassified as residential
in the City ' s current comprehensive plan study . It is our
opinion the property is better suited as an R-3 zoning than an
R-1 zoning . The R-3 zoning allows the single family attached
homes at a greater density and thereby provides transitional
zoning and buffering for the existing single family homes
easterly of the subject site . The proposed zoning is also
warranted because it is to the best interests of the community
to provide additional lower cost housing and additional dwelling
units in the Earle Brown School District . This development
will help -replace some of the dwelling units lost to the City
and Earle Brown' School District due to freeway construction .
i ) Does the proposal demonstrate merit beyond the interests of
an owner or owners of an individual parcel ?.
Yes . for the various above stated reasons .
Sincerely ,

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 79056
Applicant: Edwin Kauffmann/Village Builders
Location: 58th and Logan Avenues North
Request: Site and Building Plan
The applicant requests site and building plan approval for an 8 unit townhouse
complex at the corner of 58th and Logan Avenues North, across from Northbrook
Shopping Center (the property is that described in Application No. 79057) . The
application is being submitted for two purposes. First of all as a conceptual
plan to show that an R3 development can be contemplated on the property. Second,
if the rezoning under Application No. 79057 is recommended, the applicant desires
to request site and building plan approval .
Each individual unit will be 24' x 46' . The interior lots are proposed to be
34' x 96' , the corner lots 29 ' x 96 ' . Individual driveways off Logan Avenue are
proposed. The east portion of the site is designated for common area. A mini -
mum four feet high opaque screening device (fence or shrub row) will be placed
along the east property line. All setback requirements are met.
There is at this time some unclarity regarding the exact location of the east
property line since recent surveys indicate that fences for two. single-family
homes to the east are located on the Northbrook Estates property.
In most other respects, the development resembles a single-family home sub-
division. Utilities for each unit are connected at the street.
As with the rezoning application, it is recommended that Application No. 79056
be tabled until the rezoning question is resolved.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 79057
Applicant: Construction Analysis and Management, Inc. (for Medtronic)
Location: 6700 Shingle Creek Parkway
Request: Site and Building Plan Approval
The applicant is seeking site and building plan approval for a two-storey,
53,135 square foot addition to its existing facility at 6700 Shingle Creek
Parkway. The site includes Tracts C and D, R.L .S. 1360 and is bounded by
Speculative Building No. 6 on the north, by Shingle Creek Parkway on the west,
by 67th Avenue on the south, and by Hiawatha Rubber and the Earle Brown Farm
Apartments on the east. The site is zoned I-1 and the research and development
use proposed for the addition is consistent with the existing use approved by
the City Council . Although that use is not specifically listed as a permitted
use in the Zoning Ordinance, it does fall into the general category of "other
uses similar in nature" allowed under Section 35-330 (F) .
The site is roughly 9 acres in area and is divided from east to west by a 40'
utility easement located in the area of the existing property line. Access to
the site is gained via a curb cut off 67th Avenue North and a single curb cut
(without median cut) off Shingle Creek Parkway. The new building addition
will utilize the area between the existing Medtronic building and the utility
easement which presently used for parking. The east half of, Tract C will be
used for parking with the west half deferred for possible future development.
No external alterations are proposed for the south portion of the existing
site. Required parking for the site is 221 spaces based on 32,993 square feet
of office space (165 spaces @ one per 200 square feet) and 45,140 square feet
of industrial space (56 spaces @ one per 800 square feet) . The proposed site
plan provides 248 parking spaces. Access to the new parking lot will be via
a newly constructed driving lane located along the east side of the property
between the building and a recently constructed lithium storage building. A
50 ' buffer strip is being provided where the site abuts the R5 zoned Earle
Brown Farm Apartments. The buffer is in keeping with a recently recommended
Zoning Ordinance Amendment which has had a first reading by ' the City Council .
The new structure will add space for two additional loading berths in accord-
ance with ordinance requirements. The plan also provides for two storage tanks
Jo contain Argonne and Nitrogen. The storage tanks will be wholly enclosed and
are located on the north side of the building. The storage area extends the
full height of the building. Volatile storage is designated in a separate
reinforced room on the north side of the first floor of the new building,
adjacent to the shipping and receiving area . The Fire Chief is in the process
of reviewing the proposed list of chemicals and will certify that the building
plans provide proper storage of chemicals prior to the issuance of building
permits.
The landscaping plan provides a 6' high berm at the northeast corner of the
site to shield the parking lot from the residential use to the east. A 4'
high undulating berm is proposed along Shingle Creek Parkway. Plantings
include three 22" to 3" diameter Honeylocust and seven 5' to 6' Honeylocust at
the main entrance to the north building. Seven 22" to 3" Green Ash are proposed
for the landscaped area along Shingle Creek Parkway, consistent with the treat-
ment in front of the existing building. Fourteen 6 ' to 8' Amur Maple are in-
dicated for the 50' buffer area at the northeast corner of the site. Parking
islands immediately opposite the north building face are proposed to be land-
scaped with Littleleaf Lindens .

Application No. 79058
Applicant: Constructing Analysis and Management
Location: 6700 Shingle Creek Parkway
Request: Preliminary Plat Approval
The applicant is seeking preliminary plat approval to combine- two Tracts, C
and D, of R.L.S. 1360 into a single parcel for use by Medtronic in conjunction
with the expansion of the existing site comprehended under Application No.
79057. Section 35-540 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that multiple parcels
of land which are contiguous and adjacent and which are proposed to serve a

into a single parcel through platting or registered land survey. This appli-
cation is in response to that requirement.
A -40' wide utility easement runs east to west over the middle of the property.
Access to the parcel is provided off of Shingle Creek Parkway and 67th Avenue
North. The lot dimensions are not substandard in any respect. The zoning
of the entire tract is I-1 and the proposed use for the site is permitted
under the City's Ordinances. We have not received any data as to the area of
the parcel , but estimate that it is about 9 acres.
The proposed R.L.S. seems to be in order and the City Engineer will be prepared
to comment on it further at Thursday evening's meeting. Approval is recommended
subject to the following conditions:
1 . The final R.L.S. is subject to the approval of the City Engineer.
2. The final R.L.S. is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of
the City Ordinances.
A public hearing has been scheduled and notices sent.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 79059
Applicant,: Michlitsch Builders
Location: 1510 - 69th Avenue North
Request: Site and Building Plan
The applicant seeks site and building plan approval for a four-unit apartment
building on Lot 1 , Block 1 , Horbal Addition. The property is located on the
north side of 69th Avenue North, westerly of Humboldt Avenue North. The site is
bounded on the east by a new 7 Eleven Store, on the north by the Brookdale Towers
apartment complex, on the west by single family residential homes, and on the
south by existing R5 multiple-family development. The parcel is zoned R4 and
the proposed use is permitted in that zone.
The lot in question measures 120' by 170' or 20,400 square feet. Under Section
35-400, the land area used for calculating density is exclusive of the setback
area abutting streets . In this case, the remaining area is 14,400 square feet,
precisely the amount required for four R4 type units . Eight parking spaces are
provided as required by the Zoning Ordinance. Proposed setbacks are all in
excess of the ordinance requirements including a required 15' buffer strip
between R1 and R4.
The City recently vacated a street easement over the west 30 feet of the
property, formerly designated as part of Irving Avenue North. The City will
retain a 30 foot easement over the same area for public utility and walkway
purposes . Parking is permitted up to the easement line, but no structures are
allowed to be built over it. The parking area is to be screened by a 6 foot
high wood fence along the west property line and by four foot high berms adjacent
to 69th Avenue North right-of-way. A trash enclosure is proposed on the west
side of the parking lot. It is felt that a better location for the trash
enclosure would be on the east side of the parking lot to avoid any conflict with
the utility and walkway easement. Although no handicapped parking stalls are
.required for the site, handicapped accessibility is provided by a ramp and
striped dead space extending from the front sidewalk.
Plantings proposed for the site are minimal . Three small existing elms will
remain on the site. New plantings include four 3' to 4' Spirea and four 30"
to 36" Maney Junipers. A 6" diameter Green Ash is proposed in front of the
building per ordinance requirements . The Commission may well want to review
landscaping with the applicant in more detail . It is felt that additional
trees and/or shrubs should be provided.
Drainage on the site is primarily toward a drainage ditch running along the
north side of 69th Avenue. Some water will drain toward the northeast corner
of the property. Water and sewer connections are proposed to be made from the
utility easement on the west side of the property rather than from the street.
Generally the plans seem to be in order with the possible exception of land-
sacping. Approval is recommended subject to at least the following conditions:
1 . Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building
Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance
of permits.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 79060
Applicant: Standard Oil (Quick 6)
Location: 6600 West River Road
Request: Site and Building Plan and Special Use Permit Approval
The applicant is seeking a special use permit and site and building plan approval
to develop and operate a combined gas station, convenience store, and car wash
on a 23,838 square foot site at the northwest corner of West River Road and 66th
Avenue North. The site is bounded by undeveloped R5 property on the east, a
nonconforming single family home on the north (land zoned R5) , by a Texaco
Station on the west and the proposed Atkins Plumbing Contractors office ,on
the south. The property is zoned C2 and gas stations and car washes are special
uses within that zone.
The site is almost square with one 30' access drive onto 66th Avenue North and
another onto West River Road. The proposed structure is 31 ' x 36 ' with a 40'
x 59' canopy to shelter four pump islands to the west of the building. The
canopy is to be set back 39' from Highway 169 right-of-way and the pump islands
roughly 50 feet. There is no setback requirement for either canopies or pump
islands, however, staff considers any additional gas pumps to be inappropriate
for an already crowded site. The principle structure is split evenly between
the convenience store on the west side and the car wash on the 'east side. An
8' x 12' fenced trash enclosure is to be situated on the east side of the
building. All relevant setbacks appear to be met. The plan proposes eleven
parking stalls as required by the ordinance, eight on the south side of the
site, two adjacent to the trash enclosure, and one along -the north driving
lane. Handicapped accessibility is provided by two ramps on the north and
west sides of the convenience store.
The applicant has submitted a letter of application (attached) in which he
states that the proposed use will not be detrimental to or impede the develop-
ment of surrounding property, but will improve property values. The hours
of operation, with "normal product availability," would be 24 hours a day.
Since the vast majority of business transacted is the purchase of gasoline,
there does not seem to be any conflict with similar uses . If complaints
should arise over the round-the-clock service, some restriction on hours of
operation could be made through the yearly special use permit review process.
The building itself will have a split level roof, with the car wash extending
roughly 3 feet above the convenience store. The convenience store will
receive a full mansard treatment which will also serve to screen rooftop
mechanical equipment. The car wash will have an 18" deck treatment around
the top. The exterior of the building faces will be precast concrete with
exposed aggregate carried uniformly around the entire building. Windows
will be a dark bronze color.
As to proposed landscaping: the applicant intends to relocate, or replace,
an existing 6 ' high redwood fence to shield driving and parking areas from
neighboring residential property. Sod is proposed in all green areas except
the east side of the site where steep slopes will be treated with Class 11
Minnesota State Highway Seed Mix. Two large existing trees at the northeast
corner of the site will be preserved. Other plantings include 10 Redtwig
Dogwood, 15 Smooth Sumac, 2 Marshall Ash, and 5 Broadmoor Junipers . The
applicant proposes 4" of crushed rock and 2" of decorative rock on top of
reinforced "poly" in the planting areas. An underground sprinkler system is
designated in all landscaped areas.
9-13-79 -1-
i
Application No. 79060
Drainage from the site is primarily toward a drainage ditch on the south edge of
the site. The underground storage tanks are proposed for the west side of the
site to allow fuel trucks to refill the tanks with minimum disruption to
traffic flow. B-612 curb and gutter are indicated around all parking and
driving areas.
The plans have only recently been modified with certain changes red-lined in.
With these changes the plans seem to meet the City's standards. Approval as
submitted would be subject to at least the following conditions:
1 . Building plans are subject to review and approval by the
Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to
the issuance of permits.
2. Drainage, grading, utility and landscaping plans are subject
to approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of
permits.
3. A Performance Agreement and supporting financial guarantee
(in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be
submitted to assure completion of approved site improvements
prior to the issuance of permits.
4. All outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical
equipment shall be appropriately screened from view.
5. The Special Use Permit is issued to the operator of the
facility and is nontransferable.
6. The Special Use Permit is subject to all applicable codes,
ordinances and regulations, including special licensing
requirements, and violation thereof shall be grounds for
revocation.
7. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject
to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances.
8, The applicant shall submit a complete set of revised drawings
prior to consideration by the City Council .
9. The applicant will enter into a standard utility maintenance

Attention: Mr. R. Warren
Dear Mr. Warren:
RE: U. S. HIGHWAY 169 & 66TH AVE. NO.
BROOKLYN CENTER, MN.
We propose to replace our existing, special use permitted service station
at the above location with self serve, full serve, gasoline dispensing,
a car wash and a convenience store. The convenience store would basically
have snacks , candy, pop, beer, milk and cigarettes. The hours of operation,
with normal product availability, would be 24 hours.
These services would serve and be convenient for the general public in the
area. The facility would be a new attractive pre-cast concrete structure,
improving property values. This new facility will not impede the normal
and orderly development of surrounding property.
The ingress, egress and parking have been reviewed by your Planning Committee
and approved as shown. All applicable regulations shall be conformed to.
Your consideration and approval would be appreciated.
Yours trul ,
�Tdt

• Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 79061
Applicant: Richard DeWitt
Location: 6801 Humboldt Avenue North
Request: Site and Building Plan Approval
The applicant is seeking site and building plan approval for an eight unit
townhouse complex to be located on a .9 acre tract of land across from
Humboldt Square Shopping Center at roughly 6801 Humboldt Avenue North. The
parcel is bound by the Humboldt Courts Apartments on the north, by the Spec. 7
Industrial Building on the west, by the Bardel Apartments on the south, and by
Humboldt Square Shopping Center on the east. The land is zoned R5 and R3 uses,
such as townhouses and single-family attached condominiums, are a permitted
use in the R5 zone provided they meet R3 district requirements.
The applicant seeks to put 8 townhouse .units (two quadrahomes) on a 39,307
square foot parcel . Each unit will have a two-car tuck-under garage which
under Section 35-410, entitles the builder to a density credit of 500 square
feet per enclosed stall , or a total density credit of 8,000 square feet over
the entire site. At 4,400 square feet per unit, the allowable density is 8.9
units. Total parking provided on the site will be 32 spaces or double the
required amount. Access to all units is provided by a driveway running along
the north side of the property. the applicant proposes that each unit will
have its own platted yard area and the drives, and the front and rear yards
will be designated as common area. Each lot will be approximately 44' x 44' .
The applicant will be submitting replatting of the area.which will be before
the Commission at a future date. The structures are to be set back 10 feet
from the south property line as required by the ordinance. The setback off
Humboldt Avenue is roughly 721 , well in excess of the 50' ordinance requirement.
The landscape plan intends to make generous use of large existing trees on the
site with additional plantings scheduled for the front and rear portions of
the site for appropriate screening purposes . o-„� .�
-All common driving areas will be surrounded by B-612 curb and gutter. The
site will generally drain toward the rear.
The plans generally seem to be in order and approval is recommended subject
to at least the following conditions:
1 . 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 Performance Agreement' and supporting financial guarantee
(in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall
be submitted to assure completion of approved site
improvements.
4. All outside trash disposal facilities and/or rooftop
mechanical equipment shall be appropriately screened from
view.
-5; B-612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all common
driving areas.
6. The prop ty is subject to replatting in accordance with
Chapter 7 of the City Ordinances.
