property owners within 150-feet of the subject site; showed the property location and pictures of
the home; provided the applicant’s narrative, and indicated where the studio is located on the
property. He stated that a special use permit can be taken away if it becomes injurious to

Mr. Benetti stated Planning Staff recommends the Planning Commission provide a
recommendation to the City Council to approve Planning Application No. 2015-006, with the
conditions noted in the Planning Staff report and also similar in the Resolution.
OPEN TO PUBLIC COMMENTS – APPLICATION NO. 2015-006
Chair Christensen recognized residents in the audience who wished to speak on this matter.
There was a motion by Commissioner MacMillian, seconded by Commissioner Schonning, to
open the public hearing on Application No. 2015-006, at 7:14 p.m. The motion passed
unanimously.
Applicant Jorri Carter, 2914 53rd Avenue North, stated that he is definitely willing to comply
with all City regulations and his intention is to cooperate and work with neighbors.
Mr. Benetti read and addressed the following list of concerns from a neighbor, Mrs. Deb Burseth
of 5324 Lilac Drive North:

Mr. Benetti stated that the hours of operation would be 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through
Saturday.

give and take away a special use permit.

PC Minutes

depending on the time of day. He stated that the City has not rescinded special use permits in the
past, but if there are issues they will be worked out or the special use permit would be rescinded.
MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENTS (HEARING)
There was a motion by Commissioner Sweeney, seconded by Commissioner MacMillan, to close
the public hearing on Application No. 2015-006. The motion passed unanimously.
Chair Christensen called for questions and comments from Commissioners.
Chair Christensen stated his concern that a typical length of stay for clients of a half an hour to
an hour would prompt calls regarding possible drug dealing.
Applicant Carter acknowledged this concern and stated that a client visit would never be shorter
than a half hour and is typically about an hour long and could go to two hours.
Chair Christensen asked if the City has issued a special use permit for a studio before. Mr.
Benetti replied that the City approved a home studio in 2008 on Woodbine Avenue. The studio
was located in the basement. He does not believe it is still active and there were no complaints
but there were concerns that were addressed by Staff and the applicant at the time. He is not sure
how long it was in operation, but there were similar conditions to this application. Mr. Benetti
reiterated that the City has the ability to remove the special use permit should this home based
use become a problem.
Applicant Carter stated that he was conducting business for a while before applying for the
special use permit. He stated that he did speak with adjacent neighbors and was not made aware
of any concerns regarding noise from the home studio.
Chair Christensen asked if there is a sunset to the permit. Mr. Benetti replied that a special use
permit is essentially effective for life of the property, and runs concurrently with the ownership
of the land. However, if the special use permit holder has been found to be in violation of the
approved conditions or standards of City Code, the City retains the right to remove or withdraw
the permit from the Applicant or property owner. If the current owner moved, the permit would
not transfer to the new owner; it will be owner-specific.
Commissioner Koenig asked the Applicant if the lack of Sunday hours would impede his
business.
Applicant Carter stated that it would impede his business but he did not want to cause problems.
If his neighbors had any issues with him conducting business on Sunday he would willingly
cease conducting business.
Commissioner Koenig stated that weekends and evenings would most likely be times when
musician clients would be more available.
Applicant Carter stated that he is not trying to cause problems for anyone else.
PC Minutes
07-16-15 -4-
Commissioner Koenig stated that he was speaking in favor of doing business on Sunday.
Applicant Carter stated that he would prefer to do business on Sunday and would be willing to
limit the hours and clients.
Chairman Christensen stated he would like the permit conditions to stay as is without Sundays.
He believes the conditions contain a good mix of what the Applicant is asking for.
Commissioner Koenig stated that he thinks the permit conditions are good as they are, but noted
that the report does not address times that may be busy and that the Applicant may need such as
Sunday. He is in favor of later hours; however, he realizes this is a home.
Chair Christensen stated that he would love for the applicant to have more clients because he
could then move the studio from his home. He stated that going from a home studio to a regular
studio would be fantastic for the Applicant from a business standpoint.
Applicant Carter stated that the business growing would be a good thing because he did not
really want it in his home.
Chair Christensen asked Commissioners how they felt about the business hours and being open
on Sunday.
Applicant Carter asked if neighbors could settle the issue of hours.
Mr. Benetti stated that a public hearing at the City Council meeting is at their discretion and is
not typical. He stated that the Commission can address the Sunday hour issue and it is not
unheard of to have a business operate on Sunday. He stated that the Commission could talk
about limited clients and hours on Sunday.
Commissioner Koenig clarified that the Applicant was willing to leave himself at the mercy of
his neighbors.
Applicant Carter stated that he is willing to accept the neighbors’ preference regarding Sunday
operations. He wants to keep peace and make sure the neighbors are happy.
Chair Christensen stated that now is the time to make a recommendation to the City Council and
they may decide to amend it, but they like to follow the Planning Commission’s
recommendations. He asked Commission members for their input on the Sunday hours.
Commissioner Koenig asked the Applicant if there were other hours that would be more fruitful.
Applicant Carter stated that he doesn’t have that specific client information, but would be able to
get it if he could contact his producer.
PC Minutes
07-16-15 -5-
Chair Christensen stated that Applicant Carter could give his best estimate and possibly contact
Mr. Benetti before the next City Council meeting.
Mr. Benetti recommended that the Commission decide on a recommendation to the City Council
on limited Sunday hours at this meeting. If the hours do not work out, the applicant can come
back and ask for an adjustment.
Chair Christensen suggested two clients in a four-hour block from noon to four.
Commissioners agreed with this suggestion.
Mr. Benetti asked for amended motion to include Sunday hours from 12:00 Noon to 4:00 p.m.
There was a motion by Commissioner Koenig, seconded by Commissioner Schonning to amend
the resolution to include Sunday hours from 12:00 Noon to 4:00 p.m.
Mr. Benetti asked if the Commissioners wanted to limit the number of clients.
Chair Christensen stated that he preferred limiting the number of clients to two and asked Mr.
Commissioner Koenig if he would accept an amendment to his motion.
Commissioner Koenig asked if it was necessary to limit the number of clients. He would favor
not limiting the number, but agreed to two clients.
Commissioner Morgan asked the Applicant what he would want.
Applicant Carter replied that he would be happy with Noon to 4:00 p.m. and a limit of three
clients.
Mr. Benetti suggested not limiting the number of clients and only limiting the hours.
Chair Christensen asked Commissioner Koenig if it was his intention not to put a limitation on
the number of clients in the motion. Commissioner Koenig replied affirmatively. Chair
Christensen asked for a second to the motion. Commissioner Morgan seconded the motion.
Voting in favor: Commissioners Koenig, MacMillan, Morgan, Schonning, and Sweeney

6b) APPLICATION NO. 2015-004; CS PROPERTY NMA, LLC (NEW
MILLENNIUM ACADEMY); EVALUATE AND DISCUSS
RECOMMENDATION ITEMS FROM JUNE 11, 2015 MEETING; 5120
LILAC DRIVE NORTH
Mr. Benetti stated that the Commission is being asked to provide a companion recommendation
(amended recommendation of approval from the June 11, 2015 action on this PUD item) to be
presented at the July 27, 2015 City Council meeting. He asked the Commission to evaluate and
discuss the following recommendation items from the June 11, 2015 meeting:
1. Architectural (materials and features) of the proposed new school building;
Mr. Benetti went over the development site plan and the new core elevation plan; new exterior
material and color schemes; and the landscaping. He stated that the exterior will be similar to the
Shingle Creek Crossing building.
2. Screening and buffering plans for neighborhood residents; and
Mr. Benetti stated that he has made several unsuccessful efforts to contact Mrs. Tapelt. He
pointed out changes to the grading and an eight-foot high, double sided fence that will be
installed which will provide a minimum 6-foot high screening. He stated that the City is also
recommending that the school work with the neighbors to provide any additional screening.
PC Minutes

3. Traffic Study Findings and Recommendations (ingress and egress).
Mr. Benetti went over the traffic and parking study. He pointed out the intersection scheduled to
be replaced and stated that the current access point will remain until the intersection is replaced.
He stated that the traffic study showed that there will be AM and PM delays and that the final
traffic report was not ready in time for the Planning Commission meeting, but City staff is
working with Hennepin County Traffic Engineers to reduce PM delays. The school will be
adjusting to an earlier start time. He stated that providing a temporary traffic signal at 51st
Avenue and Brooklyn Boulevard is not warranted; a lane conversion inside Brooklyn Boulevard
as a holding lane for northbound vehicles is not doable; a temporary connection at the Hwy. 100
ramp/Brooklyn Boulevard future intersection was deemed too expensive; and traffic cops are not
warranted. The City has asked the Applicant to provide bus lane maps. He explained the bus
route that will be used to leave the site and stated that the school will contract with the bus
provider regarding the exit plan. Mr. Benetti presented the following agreement with New
Millennium Academy:
1 NMA will install a temporary swing gate at the end of Lilac Drive (per City standards
and approvals), with the gate to be closed during AM/PM peak hours (or maybe
throughout the entire day school is in session).
2 NMA agrees to accept conditions in the PUD Agreement that prescribe the
mandatory and approved bus traffic patterns, visitors’ and staffs’ vehicles patterns,
which enter/exit from this school site.
3 NMA will provide or hire licensed traffic enforcement officer or uniformed police
officer(s) to be used for traffic control services during the AM/PM movements, if
required.
4 NMA will meet with City of Brooklyn Center [staff] to analyze and assess traffic and
access patterns every 6-months or every 12-months, or whenever requested by the
City of Brooklyn Center, and will agree to accept any recommendations made by
City of Brooklyn Center and/or Hennepin County officials to address or mitigate any
traffic/access concerns should they come to light after the school is opened or
operating.
5 NMA will post an approved financial guarantee or enter into an agreement to
participate in funding of up to $150,000 to be used for the installation of a temporary
traffic signal or other traffic mitigation measures, should the City and/or County call
for any in the future.
This agreement will be brought back to the NMA school board for approval and staff hopes to
have it completed by the next City Council meeting.
Mr. Benetti stated Planning Staff recommends the Planning Commission provide a companion
recommendation (amended recommendation of approval from the June 11, 2015 action on this
PC Minutes
07-16-15 -8-
PUD item) to the City Council regarding Planning Commission Resolution No. 2015-04, with
the conditions noted in the Planning Staff report and also similar in the Resolution.
Commissioner Morgan stated that things are progressing well.
Commissioner Schonning stated that he is happy with the changes to the development plan and
that he thinks it will be a greater view and asset.
Chair Christensen asked about type of fencing will be used. Mr. Benetti replied that the
recommendation is for a solid screen fencing using either wood or maintenance free materials.
Chair Christensen recommended that the homeowners provide their preferences for the fence.
Mr. Benetti agreed that the neighbors’ input is important. He stated that the school will work
with homeowners.
Chair Christensen expressed concern regarding the drop off and the possibility of snow
accumulating in the neighbor’s back yard.
Mr. Benetti stated that the elevations are not that different and there is a swell between the
properties.
Chair Christensen stated that he was pointing out a concern he wanted noted.
Commissioner Morgan stated that the City of Brooklyn Center residents he has talked to are
happy the school is coming. He thought the Applicant was very thorough, did a good job and he
is looking forward to the ground breaking.
(Commissioner Ben Freedman arrived at approximately 8:10 p.m. Commissioner Freedman
elected to sit in the audience instead of his Commissioner’s seat).
Chair Christensen asked if the control arm was going to stop all traffic including Happy Hollow
residents. Mr. Benetti replied affirmatively and explained that it will probably be in operation
during school hours and that he has received an overwhelming response from neighbors that they
don’t want any traffic through their neighborhood. He is confident that this will address
concerns about parents dropping off students and coming through the neighborhood.
Director of Business and Development Eitel added that Lilac Avenue via Malmborg’s has not
been improved to city street standards. He stated that putting in the control arm will stop traffic
from crossing through the school property when school is in session.
Chair Christensen stated that he did hear people they say didn’t want to increase traffic through
the Happy Hollow neighborhood, but doesn’t know if it is a good idea for the park.
Mr. Benetti stated that the control arm protects the school while school is in session and ensures
the goal to prevent traffic, parents and buses from using Lilac.
PC Minutes
07-16-15 -9-
Mr. Eitel stated that another option would be to complete Lilac Avenue and make it a city street.
Chair Christensen stated that he wants to make sure that when the street project is finished that
50th or 49th Avenues cannot be used for busing.
Mr. Eitel stated that is difficult to tell someone they can’t use a city street.
Chair Christensen stated that you can tell them that you prefer that they don’t.
Commissioner Morgan stated that the Commission should be looking at ways to say yes instead
of no.
Chair Christensen stated that he is thinking of ways to support the Happy Hollow neighborhood.
Commissioner Sweeney stated there is no advantage to taking 50th Avenue.
Commissioner Schonning stated that the section of road that has not been developed is a
glorified alley and he would see the logic of closing that off short term because it is easy access
and people would want to use it.
Commissioner Morgan stated that he thinks the City has been very accommodating and has tried
to look for solutions.
Commissioner Koenig asked about the location of the gate. Mr. Benetti pointed out the location
of the gate at the end of Lilac Drive.
Mr. Eitel stated that the City is working with the church to improve Lilac Drive.
Commissioner MacMillan asked if the gate will be down just during school hours. Mr. Benetti
stated that it will be measured. The consensus is to have it shut down all day for the duration of
school. The City will work with the school because the school will be opening and shutting in
accordance with the City’s wishes. He stated that the City Council may give staff discretion to
work with the Applicant regarding this issue.
Mr. Eitel stated that the gate should be closed during school hours to protect the kids and
pedestrians inside the school site from any vehicles that may want to take a short-cut through the
school parking lot.
Chair Christensen asked about a sign indicating a no-through street.
Mr. Benetti stated that any street sign would need to be approved by the City Engineer and
installed by the Public Works Department.
Commissioner Morgan left the Council Chambers at 8:33 p.m.
PC Minutes
07-16-15 -10-
Chair Christensen stated that he thinks the Commissioners are in consensus on materials,
screening and buffering (while making sure the City/school works with the homeowners). The
Commissioners will need to agree to let the traffic and egress/ingress issues left in the capable
hands of planning staff and the city’s traffic engineers.

stated that the demonstration will take place on Saturday, July 25th.

He suggested developing a list of attributes the City is known for and develop an award for an
individual and an award for a top business or government entity in recognition of their
partnership with the City and the Planning Commission.
Chair Christensen directed Staff to see if this is something the Commission can do with the City
Council’s blessing.
Mr. Eitel stated that the Commission could make a recommendation.
Commissioner Morgan inquired why the Planning Commission could not implement the award.
Mr. Eitel replied that the Planning Commission is an advisory body that can make
recommendations but cannot approve any action.
Chair Christensen stated that there may be a template available for a good partnership award and
suggested having Staff approach the City Council with the request to acquire their feedback.
Commissioner Sweeney asked if the City has a partnership award. Mr. Eitel replied that there
hasn’t been one since he has been here. He stated that Staff will come back with some ideas.
Commissioner Morgan also suggested an exercise for Commissioners to experience a City
project from beginning to completion.
Chair Christensen stated that this may be an opportunity for the Planning Commission to see
more about what happens before it gets to the Commission because they don’t know what
happens behind the scenes. He talked about seminars available to Planning Commissioners and
City Planners.

BACKGROUND
Lester E. Cass started Cass Screw Machine Products in 1945, as a small, single-machine shop in
downtown Minneapolis. In 1965, Cass moved the shop from downtown Minneapolis to 4748
France Ave. N. The new building held the machine shop, office, quality and tool rooms, and the
shipping department. In 1980, Cass constructed an 8,000 sq. ft. addition to the original facility.
As the company continued to grow, adjacent buildings inside this I-2 Industrial area were
acquired, which consists of five buildings.
Besides 4748 France Avenue North, Cass owns and operates the different levels or services of
their machine shop operations from 4800 Lilac Drive North, and 3625, 3607 and 3615 – 48th
Avenue North.
According to Mr. Wise, the new addition to Cass is estimated at $1.5 million, with new racking
and forklifts for the new warehouse scheduled to run upwards of $200,000 or more. These final
estimates are being worked on by Cass and their contractor. Cass currently employs 57 full time
workers in the 4800 building, with 10 office employees and 47 in the shop/manufacturing area
(note: of the 47 shop employees, 12 work the night-shift). Mr. Wise indicated their goal for 2016
is to hire an additional 10 employees
SITE & BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS
The subject property consists of 3.68 acres. The existing Cass facility is indicated at 40,508 sq.
ft., measuring approximately 322 feet long by 160-ft. wide (refer to survey drawing below).

The site contains 46 spaces on the north parking area, along with room for 18 spaces on the south
side (office area) which are accessed directly onto 48th Avenue. A small number of cars (approx.
5) also park along the front island separator between the office area and warehouse area.
The new 26,253 sf. addition is planned for the east side of the building, and measures
approximately 180-ft. by 145-ft. The expansion will take place in the vacant space located to the
east of the existing 4800 facility. This parcel of land is relatively flat and unobscured, with little
grading planned or needed for this particular addition. Although there is an existing paved
access and driveway (approx. 100-feet in length), there are no plans to remove this access or use
it as an entrance into the new building addition.

The building also contains three loading doors or bays along the south elevation, which are
scheduled to remain, with a new loading dock and driveway planned for the new addition.
The architectural plans label this new addition as “storage” or warehouse. The new addition is
noted with “Precast concrete panels stamped and dyed to match existing brick/office portion of
building.” The panels will have a decorative band along the upper portion of the panels, with
window lights spaced evenly across this banded areas on the north, east and south elevations.
Additional work-level window lights will also be installed along the north and south elevations.
A new truck loading dock and driveway is planned for the south elevation, with direct access
from 48th Avenue to the south. An additional truck/loading bay is planned for the north
elevation, with access from the new parking lot areas.
The new parking area will tie into the existing parking lot to the north of the building, which
angles inward towards the new building addition due to the angled northerly lot boundary line.
Parking will be addressed further in the following section of this report.
Parking & Access
Pursuant to City Zoning Code Sect. 35-700, Off-Street Parking Requirements, an
Industry/Wholesale use is required to provide one space for every two employees on largest
work shift; or one space for each 800 sq. ft. of gross floor area, whichever greater. The overall
number of employees working at this 4800 facility is 57 total (including the 12 late-shift
workers). Even with the projected 10 employees for 2016, this expanded industrial site would
require up to 34 spaces, based on this 1 space per 2 employees determination.
Estimating the parking needs based on the overall building size is calculated as follows:
________________
App. No. 2015-007
PC 08/13/15
Page 5 of 8
66,671 sf. / 800 sf. (GFA) = 83.3, or 84 spaces required.
The subject site currently contains 46 parking spaces along the north side of the facility, which
serve the office and manufacturing employees at this location. This parking lot is accessed only
off Lilac Drive on the west side of the property. Lilac Drive dead-ends approximately 200 feet
from this parking lot entrance, which is the property line/driveway leading up to the former
Allied Building Products property to the north.
Although not officially labeled on the property survey, there appears to be an additional parking
area located on the south side of the office building area, which consists of 18 parking spaces.
The survey also appears to “ghost-line” 8 to 10 spaces in the loading area to the east of this
office area (refer to diagram below – red cloud areas).
Parking spaces that would appear to conflict with existing building layout or designs, especially
existing [physical] improvements), and in this case the overhead doors/loading docks in this area,
leads planning staff to discount or not include these 8-10 spaces in the overall parking
calculations.
The total parking spaces indicated under the new site plan are noted with 114 spaces. Plans call
for the main north parking area to contain 85 total spaces. The site plan officially identifies 18
spaces on the south side of the office area; and also 11 spaces in the “notch” between the office
and new warehouse spaces.
The site plan/survey indicates the 18 space parking area near the office was installed with a zero
lot line setback. Although not ideal to have parking areas directly accessed onto a public
roadway (48th Avenue), it appears this parking has been in place for quite some time and can be
considered legal non-conforming or a “grandfathered” right.
Under this new plan, the total number of 85 spaces provided on the north parking lot area meets
the Zoning Code Sect. 35-700 for parking requirements based on the overall (finished) size of the
facility. The additional 18 spaces on the south can continue to be used as part of the
grandfathered rights, which provides up to 103 spaces at this point.
The newly illustrated 11 total spaces in the existing “notch” area appear to continue to conflict
________________
App. No. 2015-007
PC 08/13/15
Page 6 of 8
with the three loading bays or doors near this area, and planning staff does not feel these spaces
should be marked or provided, due to this apparent conflict with the loading space be shown or
striped, unless Cass agrees to remove the loading doors in this area. If Cass wishes to install the
five spaces (2 handicap + 3 regular) along the east edge of the office area, that may be acceptable
provide movement may be accomplished or not conflict with the existing and planned loading
areas.
Grading/Drainage/Utilities
Plan Sheet CP-101 is the preliminary site drainage plan for this Cass expansion. Since most of
the 4800 parcel will be taken up by building and parking improvements, and due to limited space
in providing on-site ponding for storm water management, Cass engineers elected to design an
underground “ storm-tech” chambered system to treat storm water run-off on this site (similar to
the redeveloped Luther dealership sites along Brooklyn Boulevard).
Plans call for the roof water to be routed down to the storm-tech system, along with the existing
and new parking lot areas to the north. This water is then routed along the east edge of the new
building addition, and connected down to the existing public storm sewer system under 48th
Avenue roadway.
Please refer to the City Engineer’s Review Memo (dated August 7, 2015) for comments and
detailed requirements related to this on-site stormwater management system.
Landscape and Tree Plan
The Cass site plan includes a detailed landscape plan, which illustrates certain amounts and
locations of various landscaping items throughout the new site. Although City Code does not
contain a landscape or tree ordinance, the City has held that any new development areas shall
comply with the city’s adopted Landscape Points System policy, which provides certain
percentages and amount of landscaping based on a development’s size (land area). This
landscape points system requires commercial sites to provide a specific amount or number of
landscaping units, and is based on a maximum percentage of certain materials (50% shade trees;
40% coniferous trees; 35% decorative trees; and 25% shrubs).
The existing Cass site contains three mature locust trees within the vacant east space, three ash
trees in front of the existing warehouse space, and a number of upright junipers/evergreen shrubs
________________
App. No. 2015-007
PC 08/13/15
Page 7 of 8
along the west and south walls of the office area. The three locust trees along with the three ash
in the front will be removed under this expansion plan.
Cass’ architects have provided a points calculation table and detailed plant schedule as part of
this submittal. The landscape plan indicates 204 points, which reflects correctly upon the overall
3.68 acre size of Cass’ property. The schedule calls for 100 points applied to shade trees; 78
points for coniferous/evergreen trees; and 26 points for shrubs/plantings.
The landscape plan identifies 16 new river birch trees to be planted within the raised island
separator near the new loading dock driveway, along with 11 new Scotch pines along the south
elevation line of the addition; and 2 additional Scotch pines to the north side. The plan also
includes new decorative shrubs and plants in and around the reconstructed area near the main
(public) entryway into the office area.
The 16 river birch inside the island area initially appeared a bit too crowded; however, after
conferring with the architect from Sjoquist Architects, the City accepts this clustering, as these
trees will mature later and need to be thinned accordingly, and will provide a nice landscape
feature along this new building line.
The City is further recommending the landscape plan include approved shade trees under the
Landscape Policy, which should consist of either maple, oak, linden or locust (or similar
approved) type trees. The plan should provide these additional shade trees be interspersed with
the Scotch pines along the front, and possibly adding a few trees in the triangle shaped area north
of the north parking lot, near the Allied Building property.
Staff will work with Cass’ architects/design team to revise and provide an amended landscape
plan that meets the city’s Landscape Policy; and staff will ensure any updated plan is approved
prior to issuance of any building permits, and is made part of the recommendations noted in the
draft Planning Commission resolution.
Lighting/Trash
The site lighting plan is very limited, and calls for three new wall mounted light packs. Two
wall lights along the back side of the new addition, and one light near the new loading dock
entrance. The photometric plan that accompanied this plan illustrates that little if any
illumination or lighting will exceed the approved levels per City Code. This lighting plan is
deemed acceptable by the City.
There is no additional outdoor trash enclosures planned for this new warehouse addition. Staff
assumes all trash and refuse is property handled and managed accordingly by Cass and/or their
haulers.
CITY ENGINEER REVIEW
The city engineers have provided preliminary review and comments regarding this new site plan,
noted in the Engineer’s Review Memorandum, dated August 7, 2015, and is referenced and
included in this planning report. Some of these conditions may be applicable at time of future
building permit review and approvals.
