He also reported on the companion recommendation by the Planning Commission regarding the traffic study findings and architectural and screening elements and stated that the City was committed to working with the school to address issues. This item was first read on June 22, 2015; published in the official newspaper on July 2, 2015; and is offered this evening for second reading and Public Hearing. Councilmember Graves asked about the parent drop off process. Mr. Benetti pointed out the proposed parent drop off process. Councilmember Graves commented that she used to work as security at the Roseville School District and was in charge of a swinging gate. She stated that she thought that this was a well- executed project with good ideas. Councilmember Ryan stated that traffic has been concern from the beginning of this proposal and unfortunately the new Brooklyn Boulevard exchange will not be done prior to construction of the school. He asked Staff if they were confident the interim measures put in place will be sufficient. Mr. Benetti reiterated steps taken to address traffic concerns and stated that the City will work with the school regarding possible future traffic issues. Councilmember Ryan stated that the proposal would not have gone forward without a positive traffic study/situation. Mr. Benetti stated that the City would not have approved a project that funneled traffic through the neighborhood. Councilmember Ryan stated that he would not have voted for a project that would have funneled traffic through the neighborhood. Mayor Willson asked if traffic through the neighborhood would ever be considered. Mr. Benetti replied that the City would not support that and the intent is to keep traffic localized. Most of the students will be bused; staff members will come before and after peak times; and, there will not be northbound movement from 51 st by the buses. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. J. Kou Vang, 2557 Maplewood Drive, St. Paul, Development Manager with CS Property New Millennium Academy, LLC, introduced himself and stated that he and Yee Yang, Executive Director of New Millennium Academy will answer any questions Councilmembers may have. Jerry Evans, 5049 Brooklyn Boulevard, referenced the school's intention to set aside $150,000 for a traffic light if it is needed. He asked what a traffic light costs. 07/27/15 -5- Mayor Willson stated that the school would work with Hennepin County and the City if a traffic light is needed. Mr. Boganey stated that $150,000 is the estimated cost of the light. Mr. Evans asked about absolute enforcement of buses not being able to make left hand turns onto Brooklyn Boulevard. Mayor Willson stated that the school will work with the bus company and in his opinion the City Council will make sure this is an absolute. Mr. Evans asked if the swing gate would be down at all times. Mayor Willson replied that it would be down during school hours. Mr. Evans requested that it be down at all times and questioned whether emergency vehicles could get through. Mayor Willson stated that it was his understanding that the gate would be down during the school hours and he would assume that emergency vehicles could go through the gate. Mr. Evans asked if the gate would be up or down for off-hour concerts and events and if there is enough parking. He also asked if the school is working with the church on parking. Mayor Willson replied that he would seek answers to Mr. Evan's questions. Mr. Evans asked how many children would be attending the school and stated that it was his understanding that 90% of the children would be bused and 10% would be dropped off. Mayor Willson replied that there would be 500-750 students at the school. Mr. Evans stated that would mean there would be a minimum of 50 cars coming in and out. He thinks that something will need to be done to get more students on buses and less parents coming in and out. He stated that he is not against the school but is against the traffic issues the school will cause. He asked the location of the building referenced earlier as an example of the exterior of the school. Mayor Willson replied that the building was at Shingle Creek Crossing. Mr. Evans asked about the traffic enforcement officer on Brooklyn Boulevard as a traffic management option. Mayor Willson stated that this person would be a trained traffic control person hired by the school. 07/27/15 -6- Mr. Evans stated that he has tried to direct traffic himself in the wake of an accident and it has not worked. He spoke about the need for a program to educate people on pedestrian safety in a residential area. Mayor Willson stated that there would need to be enough police to hand out tickets to people not following the rules of roads. Mr. Evans stated his concern about the power of the traffic enforcement officer. Mayor Willson stated that any firm brought in by the school would have to be vetted. Dennis Larson, 8209 Ewing Avenue N, Brooklyn Park, Brookdale Covenant Church member, expressed concern about the bus route that runs across the front entrance of church. He suggested going parallel along Brooklyn Boulevard rather than cutting through the parking lot. He assured the City Council and the school that the church is anxious to make the parking lot available for off-hour events and he feels that the two parking lots will be more than adequate. Robyn Socha-Hanson, 5813 Irving Avenue N, stated that she lives by Earle Brown Elementary School and finds the discussions about traffic humorous. She stated that these issues can all be worked out and. welcomed the school to the neighborhood. She stated she likes to see new additions to the City and that she attends Brookdale Covenant Church. Tracina Henderson, 7725 Tessman Drive, Brooklyn Park, New Millennium Academy employee, stated that she thinks the issues can be worked out and that this is a good school. She spoke about the positive experience her daughter had at the school. Jorri Carter, 2914 53 d Avenue N, asked why the buses cannot make left turns onto Brooklyn Boulevard. Mayor Willson replied that it is very difficult to make a left hand turn out of that site. Mr. Carter asked how many buses are expected to be at the site at one specific time. It was indicated there would be 12 buses. Mr. Carter asked about adjusted times for school hours and voiced his support for the school noting that he would be affected traffic-wise. He would be trying to make a left turn himself and thinks he would be patient with 12 buses. George Lucht, 8457 Rice Lake Road, Maple Grove, owner of Malmborg's, stated he has been concerned about traffic control for many years, but the new Brooklyn Boulevard exchange will solve a lot of the issues. He stated his concern for the safety of his customers. He spoke about the daily car count at Malmborg's for May of 2015, which was 500 per day and did not include employees or business trucks, etc. He thinks the change will be great when it is done, noting what the school is offering to address traffic issues is beneficial. He stated his wish for a traffic signal, but acknowledged the expense. 07/27/15 -7- Melanie Tapelt, 5042 Lilac Drive N., stated that the gate is a high priority for her and it will aid in accessing her driveway. She feels that the school is a good thing as long as a fence is put in so she is not bothered by the noise. Maureen Dougherty, 5037 Lilac Drive N., stated that previous school enrollment projections were 450 students with eight buses and now the projection is 750 students with 12 buses. She does not think 12 buses is realistic and thinks this issue needs to be dealt with. She feels the peak time in the morning may have been underestimated and needs to be revisited. She spoke about the private road owned by the church that needs to be improved and has potholes that are nine inches deep. She stated that the church has told the neighbors it is the City's responsibility and the City has told the neighbors it is private property. She asked that someone help neighbors understand what they can do to get the road improved. Mayor Willson asked Mr. Benetti about the land and who takes care of it. Mr. Benetti replied that the City will eventually take the land as an easement in a land swap agreement. This will happen at the time of the new Brooklyn Boulevard exchange. Mayor Willson stated that the City will eventually own the land and have to maintain it. Ms. Dougherty asked what neighbors should do in the meantime. Mayor Willson replied that it is private land and the City has no responsibility. Ms. Dougherty asked what the church's responsibility is if they are going to own the land for another two years. Mayor Willson replied that it would be up to church. Ms. Dougherty stated that neighbors would like it blocked off. Mayor Willson suggested that the issue be taken up with the church. Ms. Dougherty stated that the church has not been willing to work with neighbors. She would like the real r n dropping off. number of children that will be bused in and the numbers of parents d ppi g She stated she has no issue with the school, but wants to know who is going to have accountability for issues when they arise. She would like Mr. Vang to go on record as to how the school will address future issues. Mayor Willson stated that the community will have to work with the school and traffic issues will be worked on by the City and City Council. Ms. Dougherty stated she was hoping there would be a third party or someone accountable to work with the neighbors. Tom Lehman, Brookdale Covenant Church Council Chairman, spoke about the reduction in traffic when going from business traffic (Malmborg's)to school traffic. Mayor Willson stated that he thought the concern is afternoon traffic. 07/27/15 -8- Mr. Lehman stated that from the Church's perspective the amount of traffic is plummeting. He talked about the issue of the Church's private road and stated that he was unaware that the City did not own the land. He asked how private property becomes liable for a road that people are choosing to drive on that is not public. He stated that the road is not in good repair and there have been discussions regarding a land swap. In the interim, he understands the frustrations that the neighbors have with the private road, but there are other City streets that can be used as an alternative. Mayor Willson asked if the church had posted signs. Mr. Lehman replied that there were no signs posted and the road will be fixed when the land swap is done. He pointed out that the 51 st intersection has been identified as the ninth most dangerous intersection in Hennepin County. Mayor Willson suggested looking into posting signs and liability issues now that the land has been identified as private land. Mr. Lehman stated that maybe it could be shut down now. Mayor Willson stated that we live in a litigious society. Mr. Lehman stated that the church is vibrant but not wealthy and paving a road that it will not own in three years is not the church's priority. He spoke about current tutoring collaboration with Northport Elementary School and the church's wish to serve its community. Mayor Willson stated he was not aware of the church's relationship with Northport but is glad to hear of it. Mr. Lehman spoke about the challenges Northport faces and that the church is happy to have a small impact and is looking forward to partnering with New Millennium Academy. He sees the new school and the church as being a hub for positive partnerships to give kids more options. Mr. Evans asked if the school would be comprised of primarily Hmong children. Mayor Willson stated that it is a charter school and he would not guess it would be a segregated school, but he does not know for sure. Yee Yang, 12255 81St Avenue N., Brooklyn Park, Executive Director of New Millennium Academy, stated that the school would be 95% Hmong population and would be open to anybody. Mr. Evans stated that 95% of the students would be from another country and learning the English language and the parents may not speak English. He asked if the specific number of non-English speaking parents was known. Mayor Willson stated that English as a second language is an issue for immigrant populations whether it be the parents or the kids. He doesn't see that as a problem. Mr. Evans asked what happens when the children are able to speak English and won't need to go to the school. He asked how long the school would continue. Mayor Willson stated that this is not a question for the City Council to determine. 07/27/15 -9- Mr. Evans stated that it is up to the City to make wise decisions for the community and not spend money on a school that may not last more than 5-10 years. Mayor Willson stated that the City isn't putting money into the school. Mr. Evans stated that the City still has some influence on what is happening with a piece of property. Mayor Willson stated that it would only be for zoning purposes. Mr. Evans stated that he is for the school and the question of who will be the next students was asked of him. Mayor Willson stated that that issue is not up to the City to determine. It is a charter school and has to meet the state statute for a charter school. Mr. Evans stated he is not against the school but is looking at the City buying into a system that will come up short. Mayor Willson stated that the City does not own the property. Mr. Evans stated that the City drives the zoning ordinances and asked if it was wise to go with a project for a few short years. Mayor Willson noted that is speculation and when other proposals come before the City, there is no focus on what may happen in the future. Mai Xiong, 6400 Humboldt Avenue N., shared her positive experience as a parent at the school. She stated that they looked for a school to better meet the needs of their kids and decided to move them to New Millennium Academy last year. She stated that the school has worked with her first grader's hearing impairment and her son's struggle with reading. She stated that the teachers and staff are caring. She stated she knows there is a concern about traffic and her and her husband are involved in the school's Parent Advisory Group. She talked about the difference in parent involvement between the New Millennium Academy and Earle Brown Elementary School. She stated that more cars in the parking lot mean that parents are more involved. She stated she is here to ask for City Council support to bring the school to the City. Melanie Tapelt, 5042 Lilac Drive N., spoke about her view of traffic from her balcony and disagreed with a previous speaker's opinion that the traffic in the area would change. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Graves stated that she thinks it is important to remember that not all immigrants are coming from the same background. Councilmember Myszkowski stated that she was very impressed by the thoughtfulness of all those that came forward and this is the reason public policy takes a long time because it gives people time to think an issue through. She stated that change is difficult and it is difficult to lose Malmborg's. She stated she is greatly appreciative of the conversation and acknowledged that she is not totally comfortable but that she trusts the City's staff and is appreciative of the school because of the hoops they have gone through to address the traffic issue. She stated that she is 07/27/15 -10- going to vote yes. She stated that she has lived in the community for 40 some years and values the importance of children and their potential. She welcomed the school to the community. Councilmember Ryan stated he has been engaged with the Happy Hollow neighborhood and can understand their anxiety. He stated that there will be considerable cooperation with the City and the school in the future and listed issues/elements that have already been addressed. He stated he will support the ordinance amendment to allow for the PUD to go forward. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 2015-09 Amending Chapter 35 of the City Code of Ordinances Regarding the Zoning Classification of Certain Land Generally Located in the South Section of the City, Generally Situated Between HWY 100 to the West, Brooklyn Boulevard to the East and Happy Hollow Park to the South, and Locally Identified as 5120 Lilac Drive North. Mayor Willson commented on his past involvement on the Planning Commission and his current involvement with the City as Mayor has given him a good understanding of the planning process. He stated he will support the ordinance and sees no reason not to support it. He welcomed the school to Brooklyn Center. Motion passed unanimously. 8b. ORDINANCE NO. 2015-10 AUTHORIZING THE CONVEYANCE OF PROPERTY AND THE LAND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (3401 53RD AVENUE N) City Manager Curt Boganey introduced the item, discussed the history, talked about the process, provided a map of the property, and stated the purpose of the proposed ordinance. This item was first read on July 13, 2015; published in the official newspaper on July 16, 2015; and is offered this evening for second reading and Public Hearing. Councilmember Ryan stated his appreciation to staff for all the work to bring this to fruition. He stated his belief that people will use the trails once they are done. Mayor Willson stated that perhaps the trails will be used by millennials who move into the City's renovated housing. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. No one wished to address the City Council. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. 07/27/15 -11- Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 2015-10 Authorizing the Conveyance of Property and the Land Exchange Agreement (3401 53rd Ave N) Motion passed unanimously. 9.

PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2015-006, SUBMITTED BY JORRI CARTER FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL HOME OCCUPATION ALLOWING A RECORDING STUDIO INSIDE A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING IN THE R-1 ONE FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT, LOCATED AT 2914 53RD AVENUE NORTH Planning and Zoning Specialist Tim Benetti provided an overview of Resolution Regarding the Disposition of Planning Commission Application No. 2015-006, Submitted by Jorri Carter for Special Use Permit Approval of a Special Home Occupation Allowing a Recording Studio Inside a Residential Dwelling in the R-1 One Family Residence District, Located at 2914 53rd Avenue North and advised the Planning Commission recommended approval of the resolution at its July 16, 2015, meeting. Mr. Benetti answered questions of the City Council regarding the request for special use permit approval of a special home occupation allowing a recording studio inside a residential dwelling in the R-1 one family residence district at 2914 53rd Avenue North. Councilmember Myszkowski asked what the reason was for the discussion regarding business being conducted on a Sunday. Mr. Benetti replied that no Sunday hours was consistent with a previous special use permit and a Planning Commission member brought up the point that Sundays would be beneficial for the applicant and consistent with non-traditional hours that musicians keep. Councilmember Myszkowski stated that there was still not an obvious reason to her that hours needed to be limited on Sunday. Mr. Benetti stated that the City feels that residents should have an expectation of peace and quiet on Sundays. He stated that the applicant indicated he would like Sunday hours if possible and was fine with 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Planning Commission members felt it would be fair to add the Sunday hours. Councilmember Myszkowski stated her opinion that people no longer feel that Sundays are a day of rest and that as a musician and music teacher she understands the need to record on Sunday. She doesn't have a problem with Sunday hours and doesn't see that it will be a disruption to the neighborhood. 07/27/15 -12- Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated that if the neighbors have no issue, she has no issue. She would go with consensus of the Council if they don't want to have restrictions on Sunday. Councilmember Graves was curious about the fact that no instruments were allowed. She stated she is surprised that the applicant sought a permit and that it is indicative of a desire to be a responsible business owner and maybe the other precautions are a bit excessive but she understands the need to put it in writing. Mr. Benetti stated that there are no instruments. There is one person speaking lyrics into a microphone. He stated that part of the reason the applicant pursued a special use permit was it was part of his business plan. Councilmember Graves stated she liked to see this happening because it shows an entrepreneurial spirit and speaks to one of the City's strategic goals. 1.
