Application No. 86011
Applicant: Lombard Properties, Inc.
Location: NW Corner of Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard
Request: Preliminary Registered Land Survey
The applicant requests preliminary registered land survey approval to combine into
a single parcel the three tracts of land at the northwest corner of Shingle Creek
Parkway and Freeway Boulevard. The property in question is zoned I-1 and is bounded
on the north by the Parkway Place Industrial Building, on the east by Shingle Creek
Parkway, on the south by Freeway Boulevard and on the west by the Ramada Inn. The
planned use of the property at this time is a five to six storey office building.
The existing legal description is Tracts D, E, and F of R.L.S. 1572.
No area is given for the proposed tract (Tract A of an as-yet-unnumbered R.L.S. ) .
The combined area of the three underlying tracts contained in this subdivision is
5.8 acres. No easements are indicated on the subdivision plan. Past subdivisions
including this property have provided cross access over this land and all land bounded
by Shingle Creek on the west, by Freeway Boulevard on the south, and by Shingle
Creek Parkway on the east and north, excluding the MTC site.
The staff's primary concern with this subdivision is the access drive along the
north edge of the tract. Staff would recommend that an easement for this roadway
be indicated on the subdivision plan. Furthermore, there should be easements pro-
hibiting parking within 15' of this roadway and building within 25' of the roadway.
This would be a lesser greenstrip and building setback than if the roadway were
public right-of-way, but would be consistent with the precedent of the Richardson
Addition (east of Earle Brown Bowl ) .
The possibility of installing traffic signals in Shingle Creek Parkway has been com-
prehended in an earlier subdivision agreement. We see no need to expand on that
agreement with this subdivision.
Altogether, the proposed subdivision is acceptable, subject to at least the following
conditions:
1 . The final R.L.S. is subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer.
2. The final R.L.S. is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of
the City Ordinances.
3. The preliminary R.L.S. shall be modified to indicate the following:
a) land area, zoning, and proposed use of the property
and such other information deemed appropriate by
the City Engineer.
b) An accurrately dimensioned easement over the northerly
portion of the property for the private access road,
a 15' greenstrip adjacent to the private access road,
and a 25' building setback therefrom.

Planning Comnission Information Sheet
Application No. 86013
Applicant: Stephen Cook
Location: 5300 block of Russell Avenue North
Request: Preliminary Plat, Site layout
The applicant requests preliminary plat and site plan approval for a double bungalow
on the 5300 block of Russell Avenue North. The property in question is zoned R2 and
is bounded on the west by Russell Avenue North, on the north by a double-bungalow,
and on the east and south by single-family homes. This property was the subject of
Application No. 86005, under which a variance for lot area was granted.
The preliminary plat provides for one lot, 90.75 wide by 133.45' deep (12,111 sq. ft.
in area) , to be legally described as Cook Estates. A 5' wide drainage and utility
easement -is indicated along the rear lot line and a 10' easement is shown along the
front._ . A' sewer service to the half-lot on the south portion of the plat will have
to be disconnected at the main unless separate sewer systems are proposed for the
two units.
n�
'The site layout for the proposed double-bungalow places the structure in the middle
of the lot. Each unit is 26' wide by 46' deep. The total width is, therefore, 52' .
The setback is a little over 19' on each side. The building is to be slightly cocked
to allow an 18.36 ' setback to the southeast corner and a 20.36' setback to the north-
east corner. The units are also staggered 2' , the northerly unit protruding in
front, the southerly unit in back.
The floor plan shows three bedrooms, a living room, dining room and kitchen on the
upper level . A two-car garage, utility room, recreation room and optional bedroom
are indicated on the lower level . Two and a half baths are provided. overall . The
plan is generous for a double-bungalow.
The proposed plat and site and building plan appear to be in order and approval is
recommended, subject to at least the following conditions:
1 . The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City
Ordinances.
3. The plat of the property shall receive final approval and be filed at
the County prior to the issuance of building permits.
4. The existing sewer service to the half-lots on the south side of the
property (old legal description: North half of Lot 4, Block 2,
Robert L. Hansen' s First Addition) shall be disconnected at the main
prior to the issuance of building permits unless separate sewer systems
are provided for the two units.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 86014
Applicant: Budget Rent a Car (Sears)
Location: 1299 Brookdale (Sears Auto Center)
Request: Special Use Permit
The applicant requests special use permit approval to operate a car rental business
out of the Sears Auto Center in Brookdale. The property in question is zoned C2
is bounded by Xerxes Avenue North on the west, by County Road 10 on the north, and
by Highway 100 on the southeast. Automobile and truck rental and leasing is a
special use in the C2 zoning district.
The proposed car rental business would operate out of the retail sales portion of
the auto center. The inventory of cars for rent would be stored under the existing
canopy at the north end of the auto center.
No additional parking is required since no building addition is proposed and the
car rental use requires no more parking per 1 ,000 sq. ft. than the existing retail
use.
The applicant has submitted a letter (attached) explaining the operation of the
special use dated March 4, 1986. A second letter, dated March 12, 1986 (also
attached) explains that the operation will be conducted in the existing sales/
service building rather than _in a small outside building located under the canopy.
The applicant was advised by staff that the small , transportable building he initi-
ally proposed did not meet building code requirements and would have to be signifi-
cantly modified. The -question of parking requirements for additional building space
was also raised. The applicant decided, in the interests of time, to locate the
rental office inside the existing building and use the available area under the
canopy for storage of inventory.
Staff do not see any conflict with the standards for special uses posed by the
proposed car rental business. It should have no measurable inpact on the improve-
ments or traffic circulation within Brookdale Center. Approval is, therefore,
recommended, subject to at least the following conditions:
1. The special use permit is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances,
and regulations and any violation thereof shall be grounds for
revocation.
2. Storage of inventory of cars for rent shall be confined primarily _
to the area under the canopy.
3. Special use permit approval acknowledges rental and leasing only. No
sales of automobiles or other vehicles is acknowledged by this action.
