Motion carried unanimously.
Motion by Robert Jensen and seconded by Robert Grosshans to refuse to
consider application 463055 submitted by Richard Fudali for a special use permit
to construct two apartment buildings for the following reason:
Section 35-232 states that "no application for a special use permit
which has been denied wholly or in part by the Village Council shall
be resubmitted for a period of six months from the date of such
action, except on grounds of new evidence or proof of change of
conditions found to be valid by the Manning Commission and the
Village Council."
Since the application for a special use permit to construct one
apartment building at 6358 North ;allow Lane was denied April 1,
1963, the Planning Commission finds that application 463055 for a
special use permit to construct two apartment buildings is not a
change in the proposed land use and no change of conditions have
taI.en place; therefore, the application can not be considered by
the Planning Commission for a period of six months from April 1,
1963.

Motion by Robert Jensen and seconded by Henry Bogucki to recommend to
the Village Council that application 463057 for rezoning and a special use
permit to build a service station on part of Lot 2, Block 10, Northgate Addition

property zoned as U-1 and is therefore in conflict with Section 35-340

Department of Business Development for planning assistance and the
subject property is a part of the land use study currently in progress.

itoll Call: Al Kattar, Robert Grosshans, Robert Jensen, Vern 'Ausen
and Henry Bogucki were present. Graydon Boeck and Helmer Lngstrom were
absent.
i,ir. Hodne presented a preliminary report on the T.H. 100-Lyndale
Avenue special area study. Review of the report indicated that a number
of alternatives existed within the realm of proper planning principles;
the consultants, however, were of the opinion that a specific alternative
could not be recommended until after they had more fully developed the
comprehensive Village study. Consequently, member Henry Bogucki introduced
the following resolution and recommended its adoption by the Village
Council:
11heras, Hodne Associates have been retained by the Village of
Brooklyn Center to develope a comprehensive study and guide plan for the
orderly development of the Village and,
Jhereas, Hodne Associates will require approximately twelve months
time to complete this phase of the study and,
1hereas, action of the Planning Commission on requests for Special
Use rermits during this study period may be generally detrimental to the
success of the study and cause much duplication of work and unnecessary
cost.
Therefore be it resolved that we the members of the Planning
Commission of the Village of Brooklyn Center, do recommend that the
special area land use studies be suspended in favor of the comprehensive
study and that a type of temporary moratorium be imposed by the Village
Council on Special Use Permits, with appropriate exceptions, for a period
of time not to exceed 12 months from date of passage of this resolution
by the Village Council.
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was
seconded by member Robert Grosshans and upon vote being taken thereon the
the following voted in favor thereof: Henry Bogucki, Robert Grosshans,
Robert Jensen, Vern Ausen and kl kiattar and the following voted against
the same: None; where upon said resolution was declared duly passed.
The ilanning Commission continued study and review of the proposed
Sign Ordinance and after suggesting some corrections and additions the
review of the proposed ordinance was continued to the next study meeting.

notion by Henry Bogucki and seconded by Robert Grosshans to
recommend to the Village Council that application ;T6307g Submitted
by Hurray C. Peterson for a Special Use Permit to allow a two(2)
family dwelling in an A-1 district be denied by the Council because
granting the permit would be in violation of Section 35-310 of the
Village ordinances and it is further recommended that the people now
occupying hir. Peterson's property be given notice to vacate. Voting in
favor of the motion Bogucki, Grosshans, Engstrom and W ttar. Not
votine, Ausen, because he feels that the wording of the motion indicates
that the Planning Commission will always deny Special Use Permits when
they are in violation of the ordinance.
h.otion carried..
motion by Henry Bogucki and seconded by Helmer Engstrom to
recommend to the Village Council that application 963075 submitted
by Richard H. Fudali be denied.
The following findings have been made by the commission with
respect to the said application:
1. The establishment and maintenance of a special use will
be detrimental to the public safety for the following reasons:
a. The applicant proposed to provide 28 units upon the
property. Based upon our own knowledge and experience in the `tillage
and u:)on consultation with the Village Planner we find that 1.5
automobiles will be kept and used by each unit. Consequently,
approximately 42 cars will be kept and used. The commission finds
that the traffic created by these cars would create and increase
dancer to the residents.
2. The establishment and maintenance of the special
use would be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in
the immediate vicinity and are apt to im)air the property values of
the land presently devoted to single family dwellings. In making this
finding the Commission has considered the following:
a. The applicant's property is located on the banks of the
Mssissippi iver last of "Allow Lane and South of 65th Avenue North.
Each ')Brcel adjacent to the applicants land and East of `.1illow Lane
is devoted to single family dwelling uses.
b. The use proposed by the applicant would introduce 28
units and would cause a very intensive use of the land as compared
to the adjacent property located East of 111ow Lane. This intensity
would appear in the greater number of cars parked and greater number
of persons carrying on their activities upon the land.
c. This intensive use would place a Greater demand upon
community recreational, health and street facilities.
��r`:?

d. The commission takes notice of a report zreoared for
it by the planner entitled "population, Village of Brooklyn Center,
14innesota", and of the information contained in it. d,articularly
the commission notes from this report that since 1961 the number of
apartment units being erected exceeded for the first time the number
of single family units being erected and that the number of apartment
units being built appears to be increasinC substantially.
e. The commission believes that the demand for multiple
dwelling land use and related intensive use of land and municipal
services demand the immediate and serious attention or the Council
and Planning Commission.
a. the Commission action acrein is intended to serve
the health and safety and Ceneral welfare of the community and to
preserve the property values of the adjacent property owners.
3. As a final, although not controlling consideration the
commission finds that the establishment of the special use will impede
the improvement of surrounding property for single family dwelling
purposes in that:
a. The large apartment units are out of scale with the
adjacent property Cast of Uillow Lane, the result is a neighborhood
less desirable for single family dwellings.
Motion by Vern Ausen and seconded by Robert Grosshans to amend
the motion by deleting Section 2c. The vote in favor of the amendment
was unanimous.
The vote in favor of the original motion as amended was unanimous.
i;otion carried.
Upon examination of Application's 463073 and 63078, the Planning
Commission found that the notices of public hearing had not been
published and therefore action on these applications will be postponed
until the November 21, 1963 meeting.
i�,otion by Vern Ausen and seconded by Helmer Engstrom to recommend
to the Village Council that Section 35-320 of the Village Ordinances
be amended by deleting therefrom sub-section 1 a and 3 a and renumbering
said Section 35-320.
After discussion on the amendment the motion by Ausen and seconded
by Engstrom was withdrawn.
