BACKGROUND
In 1995, the City of Brooklyn Center processed a rezoning application to establish a PUD/I-1
classification for four developed commercial and industrial properties and two vacant lots planned for
future industrial and commercial development for the purpose of creating a new development agreement
for certain parking, driveway, and access rights for the existing business uses and future development.
Attached for your reference is a copy of a site layout which illustrates the four developed sites (Ramada
Hotel, Parkway Place, Shingle Creek Eleven, and RCM Plaza; the two future development sites (future
spec 12 building — the subject property) and the corner of Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway
Boulevard ( which was developed into 3 lots — Minnesota State High School League Office, the Americ
Inn, and the Global Hennepin County Property LLC office); a central parking lot (identified as north and
south separated by Lombard Plaza) and a private road with two entrance unto Shingle Creek Parkway.
The PUD also included the Sixth Amendment to Easement Agreement and Modification Declaration for
Parking to be executed by all involved parties.
Of particular reference to this site, the PUD approval recognized the future development of an 80,000 sf.
office industrial building for General Litho approved under Planning Commission Application 95004.
This PUD application was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission Resolution No. 95-1
and was approved by the City Council on July 10, 1995 with the adoption of Resolution 95-157.
The property address file included information on a prior Planning Commission Application 96002 which
processed an application by Sunlite Properties for a PUD amendment with site & building plans to
construct a 69,000 sf office/industrial facility for this site was approved by a City Council motion on
March 28, 1996 with 18 conditions relating to the site development and the parking, driveway, access
rights agreement. This project was not constructed and there was no indication that the initial PUD was
amended.
On February 12, 1997, the Planning Commission Application No. 97003, a request by Sunlite Properties
III for a PUD amendment with site & building plans for a 73,903 sf. office/industrial building on this site
was considered by the Planning Commission. On February 24, 1997 the City Council accepted the
Planning Commission's recommendation and moved to approve the application by motion with 16
conditions similar to the previous approval with the exception of the conditions relating to the
floodplain/wetland/watershed and the parking/driveway/access rights. There was no indication that the
initial PUD was amended.
Attached for reference is a copy of the Planning Memorandum considered by the Planning Commission
and City Council which approved the 1997 site development plans.
SITE & DUILDING IMPROVEMENTS
The plans provide for a 40'x 152' addition to the east side of the building that will include 1280 sf. of
additional showroom area with a new entrance, and 4,800 sf. of expanded warehousing area with a large
(16'x16' drive-in). The building materials include a continuation of a textured Fab Con concrete panel
with a wide smooth band above the windows and entries and narrow band near the top of the panel,
windows within the showroom nine 4'x4'-8", and a new showroom entrance.
PARKING & ACCESS
The proposed addition removes 22 parking stalls along Parkway Circle, 4 of which are replaced with the
extension of the parking lot in the showroom addition.
The existing site development plans were approved with 162 parking stalls (minus the 18 stalls for the
addition) provides for adjusted parking lot of 144 stalls.
The application indicates that the allocation of parking required for this building with the addition will
result in10, 280 sf (9,000 + 1,280). of office area at 1 per 200 sf = 51 parking stalls and 71,422 sf. of
industrial (66,622 + 4,800) with a 1 per 800 sf. parking ratio requires 89 parking stalls for the industrial
portion of the building. A total of 51 + 89 = 140 stalls to comply with the PUD standards.
Access continues to be provided by the two entrances unto Parkway Circle, a private driveway serving
this overall PUD.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/UTILITIES
The addition requires the relocation of a gas line within the existing parking area and an adjustment to the
sanitary sewer line and manhole which connects this building to the lateral line located in the northern
entrance drive.
The addition does not affect the approved drainage improvements and municipal utilities that serve this
lot.
I W11311M 11010
The landscape plan identifies the new plantings along the building addition similar to the existing plan
and the replacement of boulevard planting to continue to meet the landscape policy as approved with the
initial development of the site.
LIGHTING/TRASH
The existing lighting of the parking lot is from building mounted lamps that are angled downward, which
lights both the building entrances and the parking lot.
There are no trash enclosures or trash containers within the rear dock area, which supports the initial
findings in the staff memorandum and conditions of the site plan approval.

Re: Site Plan Application for a 6,080 sq. ft. Industrial Building Addition
Located at 6601 Parkway Circle, Brooklyn Center, MN
Dear Mr. Eitel:
Attached herewith please find our Site Plan Application with a minor amendment to the approved P.U.D. for
the subject property. Enclosed is our application fee check in the amount of $950.00 and completed application
forms with supporting plans dated 6-12-17:
(4) sets Full Size
(1) set 8.5" x 11"
(1) set 11" x 17"
We will forward you an electronic PDF set of the plans today, as well, as support for our submittal.
As discussed in our meeting of April 14, 2017 in your office, the current tenant Roberts -Hamilton Company
occupying the easterly 40% of the entire building is experiencing sustained and positive growth and a need for
additional space. The 6,080 sq. ft. expansion would allow them to execute a long term lease and remain at their
current location. The proposed building addition would displace 22 existing parking spaces. Using the parking
ratios approved in the current P.U.D. of 1 stall per 200 sq. ft. office space and 1 stall per 800 sq. ft. of industrial
space, the proposed parking calculations meet or exceed the parking requirements established in the 1996
approved P.U.D.
The current building is occupied by 2 individual tenants. The current use of the building is 9,000sq. ft. finished
office space and 66,622 sq. ft. of Industrial space. The addition would add 1,280 sq. ft. of Showroom/Office
Space with an additional 4,800 sq. ft. of Industrial Space, see Sheet Al Site Plan for Parking Calculations. The
front yard setback would be 21'-0" from the back of the curb along Parkway Circle at the southeast corner of
the addition.
We are excited about this development and look forward to working with City Staff to support this low impact
project, with positive high impact results for the tenant and the City of Brooklyn Center. Please contact me
with any question or concerns. We look forward to being on the regularly scheduled Planning Commission
Meeting agenda for July 13th and the City Council Meeting July 24, 2017 respectively, and plan on breaking
ground in early to mid -Fall of 2017, with completion in early 2018.

Planning Commission Application Information Sheet
Application No. 97003
Applicant: Sunlite Properties III
Location: West of Parkway Circle, North of the Hilton Hotel
(To Be Addressed as 6601 Parkway Circle)
Request: Planned Unit Development Amendment
The applicant, Sunlite Properties III, is seeking an amendment to the Planned Unit Development
approval granted to this same applicant under Planning Commission Application No. 96002 on
March 25, 1996. The new proposal is for a 73,903 sq. ft. office/industrial building on the 6.25
acre site located west of Parkway Circle, north of the Hilton Hotel.
The previously approved Planned Unit Development for this same applicant was for a 69,778 sq.
ft. office/industrial building on this same site in March, 1996. Prior to that, the City Council had
granted site and building plan approval to General Litho Services, Inc. for an 80,000 sq. ft.
office/industrial building in March, 1995.
The current application is a new, but very similar, plan for the development of this property. The
plan, in addition to providing for a somewhat larger facility, would shift the building easterly
approximately 25 ft. and would provide access and parking around the entire building. The other
significant alteration would be along the south side of the building where loading docks would be
provided for each of the tenant spaces rather than the centralized loading spaces comprehended
under the 1996 approval. Attached for the Commission's review is a copy of the site plan
approved by the City Council under Planning Commission Application No. 96002.
The property under consideration is part of a PUD/I1 zone and is bounded on the north by the
Metropolitan Council Transit Operation (MCTO) garage and the Spec X office/industrial
building which houses the Target audit division as a principal tenant; on the east by Parkway
Circle (a non-public roadway serving as access to the buildings in this area) with a central
parking lot serving buildings in the area on the opposite side, on the south by the Hilton Hotel;
and on the west by Shingle Creek and its accompanying greenstrip.
ACCESS/PARKING
Access to the site is gained via Parkway Circle from Shingle Creek Parkway. Two driveways,
one at the southeast corner of the site and the other a shared access with the building to the north
at the northeast corner of the site, provide vehicle access to the proposed facility. The parking
plan provides 162 parking spaces which would be located around all sides of the building. A
drive lane connecting the north and south parking lots is a feature differing this plan from the
1996 plan. Also the front, or north side, of the building would provide a more decorative store
front type treatment for the various tenant spaces. This side of the building is staggered
somewhat and provides for a more interesting building.
2-13-97
Page 1
The applicant is planning to have a maximum of 25 percent of the building in office occupancy
with the balance as industrial or warehouse space. This is a change from the planned 30 percent
office occupancy contemplated in the 1996 plan. The parking requirement based on a 25 percent
office/75 percent industrial occupancy is 161 cars. The office parking requirement is one parking
space for every 200 sq. ft. of gross floor area, while the industrial parking requirement is one
space for every 800 sq. ft. of gross floor area.
The plan also calls for 20 additional parking spaces along the north property line which are
accessed from the abutting property to the north. These parking spaces are to be dedicated as
off-site accessory parking for the sole use of the adjoining property. This will be an
encumbrance on the subject site requiring the continuation of these 20 parking spaces to be
provided for the sole use of the adjoining property. This requirement is a part of the Planned
Unit Development for this area and surrounding areas including the central parking lot which lies
to the east of the subject site. This is part of a final agreement which has been executed and filed
with Hennepin County.
The on-site parking area, as well as the 20 off-site spaces, are to be bound by B-612 curb and
gutter and meet the minimum requirements for stall width and depth for 90 degree parking. The
office space of the proposed building will be along the north side of the site where most of the
available parking will be located.
As mentioned previously, 12 loading docks will be provided along the south side of the building
dispersed among the various tenant spaces. This is a change from the 1996 plan submitted,
which called for two cluster type loading docks that would serve the various tenant areas. A
minimum of three loading berths is required for a manufacturing facility of this size. The
loading berths exceed the minimum size requirements contained in the zoning ordinance and
should prove to be adequate for the proposed facility.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/UTILITIES
The drainage plan proposes to drain the parking lot into various catch basins which will convey
storm water via storm sewer ultimately to a storm water detention and treatment pond located
southwesterly of the building. The detention and treatment pond is in the same location as the
detention and treatment pond proposed previously. The detention pond has been sized to handle
all of the storm water run off from the north and south sides of the building. The City Engineer
has expressed some concern regarding the roof drainage from this site which is proposed to be
drained into a storm sewer on the north side of the site. He believes a clean-out should be
provided to provide appropriate maintenance for this facility.
The proposed finished floor elevation for the building is 849.1 ft. which is the same elevation
proposed for the previous Sunlite Properties building. This 849.1 ft. of elevation is well above
the 100 year flood elevation of 844 ft. The drainage plan and wetland mitigation proposed for
2-13-97
Page 2
the westerly side of the building is the same as was previously approved. This site had been
reviewed and approved by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission with respect
to the storm water plan for this property. The City Engineer has reviewed the amended site plan
with the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission staff and no changes to that plan
need to be made.
The City Engineer, however, does have a problem with recommending approval of this
application. The Watershed Commission and City had approved the plans for this development
almost one year ago and the City Engineer has attempted to get the applicant and his
representatives to provide him with matters relating to the conditions of approval of the
application. Attached is a copy of a February 5, 1997 memo from City Engineer, Scott Brink
regarding this matter. He lists five points of concerns relating to required conditions which he
believes needs to be addressed. One relates to easement descriptions necessary for new
easements as well as for vacating old ones. It should be pointed out that the proposed building
location would encroach upon an existing drainage and utility easement, a portion of which will
need to be vacated. Point two deals with the need for a utility and maintenance agreement; point
three deals with a wetland conservation act replacement plan that needs to be signed by the
developer; point four deals with a cash surety in the amount of $5,000 which needs to be
deposited with the City to insure completion of wetland monitoring and finally the need for
documentation regarding granting easements over ponding areas. This memo has been conveyed
to the applicant's architect and I have advised him that we will not recommend approval of this
application until the City Engineer is satisfied that these points will be addressed.
LANDSCAPING
The applicant has submitted a landscape plan in response to the landscape point system used to
evaluate such plans. Although this site is 6.25 acres in area, there are approximately 1.63 acres
of wetland which will be left in a natural state including seeding and plantings as required by the
Army Corps of Engineers standards. The balance, or 4.62 acres, will be landscaped. These 4.62
acres require 363.4 landscape points. The applicant's proposal calls for 391.5 landscape points
through the use of a combination of 16 shade trees (160 points), 13 evergreens (78 points), 25
decorative trees (37.5 points), and 232 shrubs (116 points). This is the exact same number of
landscape points and distribution of landscaping that was proposed under the landscape plan
submitted under Application No. 96002. The landscaping is distributed basically in the same
manner altered only by what is caused from the shifting of the building to the east and the altered
loading dock area to the south. Many of the shrubs and decorative trees proposed along the south
side of the building, under Application No. 96002 have been shifted to the greenstrip along the
south boundary line of this property separating it from the Hilton Hotel.
The plan calls for a 15 ft. greenstrip along the Parkway Circle access drive between the two
access points. This area will be sodded as well as the area around the off-site parking lot and
parking provided for this building along the north side. Sod will also be provided in areas
2-13-97
Page 3
adjacent to the building which are not part of the natural wetland area where seed is being
provided. The proposed landscape plan, as was the previous landscape plan, seems to be well
distributed around the site. Underground irrigation is required. in all landscaped areas except for
that area to the west which is part of the wetland mitigation or natural area.
BUILDING
The building exterior is proposed to be Fab -Con concrete panels. No color or texture is indicated
on the plans. Canvas canopies are proposed over the store front type doorways which are a more
decorative change from that proposed under the previous building plans. Windows will be
provided along the north building elevation as well as on a portion of the east and west building
elevations where office areas will be. There is a potential for mezzanine space and windows may
be provided in these areas as well.
LIGHTING/TRASH
The applicant's plan does not indicate the location of lighting within the parking lot. He has
indicated, however, that they will be using wall mounted light fixtures around the building to
light both the building areas and parking facilities. No trash enclosure location is shown on the
plan. It is my understanding trash will be handled inside the building. We would recommend,
however, that there still be a condition to require trash screening if there is to be any outside trash
facilities.
PUBLIC HEARING
A public hearing has been scheduled for the amendment to the Planned Unit Development and
notices have been sent as well as notice appearing in the Brooklyn Center Sun/Post. Normally
with rezonings, planned unit developments or planned unit development amendments, these
matters are referred to neighborhood advisory groups for review and comment. The Planning
Commission serves as the neighborhood advisory group for the industrial park area and,
therefore, no referral is necessary. As mentioned previously, this plan is very similar to the plan
which was approved for the same applicant approximately one year ago under Planning
Commission Application No. 96002. Watershed and other agency approvals have been granted
for this plan and soil corrections to the site have been made by the applicant already. As
mentioned previously, the proposed building location will create an encroachment into an
existing drainage and utility easement. An appropriate easement vacation for that part of the
encroachment will have to be accomplished by the City through an ordinance amendment prior
to the issuance of any building permit for the proposed expansion. This is one of the points that
the City Engineer was making. The fact that no description of this easement has been provided
to him will in all likelihood cause delays in the issuance of building permits for this project. As
mentioned previously, we will not recommend approval of this application unless the City
Engineer's points have been addressed by the applicant prior to the Planning Commission's
2-13-97
Page 4
consideration of this matter.
