At that time, the Commission tabled the matter because it was unwilling to grant the full density credit allowable under the ordinance for 26 new townhouse units. A revised plan for 24 new units (a density credit for 3 units) was submitted at the April 28, 1983 meeting. After receiving extensive comment at both meetings, the Commission informed the developer at the April 28th meeting that no density credit would be granted and tabled the application until a plan with no more than 21 new units was submitted. The applicant has submitted a new plan with 21 new townhouse units. The two four - unit buildings opposite the southerly existing building have been replaced by a five -unit building clustered with the three four -unit buildings on the east side of the property (see copy o:f plan attached). This opens up a different green space opposite the existing southerly quad home. The plan designates this area for a future tennis court or recreation area. (A tennis court would apparently encroach into the 15' buffer strip adjacent to the single-family homes south of the project. We cannot recommend approval of such a facility in this location). The new plan provides for 21 guest parking stalls. The landscaping has been relocated and is still fairly generous. Regarding the preliminary plat, we have discussed the questions over the City's right to approve a replat of Earle Brown Farm Townhouses briefly with the City Attorney. He has assured us that the City may approve a replat of the common area and two existing vacant lots. He acknowledges that a privately pursued lawsuit by the eight existing townhouse owners may prevent the filing of such a replat. However, he advises that the Planning Commission and City Council should not intervene in this civil dispute, but should process the replat as though there were no dispute, based solely on the requirements of City ordinances. Based on those requirements, the proposed plat and site and building plan are accept- able and approval is recommended, subject to the following conditions: For Application No. 83010: 1. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance - of permits. 2. Grading, drainage, utility and berming plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of permits. 3. A site performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee (in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be submitted prior to the issuance of permits to assure completion of approved site improvements in the area of new construction. 5-12-83 -1- Application Nos. 83010, 83017 continued 4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical equipment shall be appropriately screened from view. 5. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances. 6. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and driving areas. 7. The building plans shall be certified by a registered Minnesota architect prior to the issuance of building permits. For Application No. 83017: 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 final plat shall be filed at the County prior to the issuance of building permits. i 5-12-83 -2- Planning Commission Information Sheet (Addendum) Application Nos. 83010, 83017 Applicant: Rod Bernu Location: 69th Avenue North and York Place Request: Site and Building Plan, Preliminary Plat This information sheet is an addendum to the information sheet for the April 14, 1983 meeting. The applicant has revised the preliminary plat to provide all correct measurements. The plat has also been revised to exclude from the replat those eight lots with existing townhouses. The new plat calls for 24 townhouse units, one common area, and one outlot. The site layout has also been revised by shifting the northerly most townhouse cluster southward so that the 50' setback requirement from future 69th Avenue North is met. Conditions for the preliminary plat are recommended as follows: 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 final plat shall be filed at the County prior to issuance of building permits. 4-28-83 IM Planning Commission Information Sheet Application Nos. 83017 and 83010 Applicant: Rod Bernu Location: 69th Avenue North and York Place Request: Preliminary Plat, Site and Building Plan The applicant requests preliminary plat approval to replat the Earle Brown Farm Townhouses into 32 townhouse units (8 existing and 24 new), one common area lot, and one outlot (to be acquired for right-of-way for Shingle Creek Parkway). This is a companion application to the site and building plan application (No. 83010) submitted to the Planning Commission at its March 17, 1983 meeting. That application was tabled pending the submittal of a proper pre- liminary plat. The land in question is zoned R3 and is bounded by 69th Avenue North on the north, by the Earle Brown Farm Estates on the east, and by single-family homes on the south and west. The Commission may recall that Mr. Bernu originally sought approval for 26 townhouse units, implying a density credit of 5 units for double tuck -under garage stalls. After considerable comment from the residents of the eight existing units, the Commission was divided as to what if any density credit should be allowed. Three Commissioners were willing to allow a density credit for 3 additional units to allow a total of 24. Three Commissioners preferred no density credit at all, allowing the normal ordinance maximum of 21 additional units. (Commissioner Ainas abstained as he could have a conflict of interest). Mr. Bernu has chosen to seek approval for 24 new units. Mr. Bernu has changed the design of the project by splitting the �.. eight -unit building into two 4-unit buildings and by reducing the two five -unit buildings to 4-unit buildings. Thus, the plan now calls for six linear 4-unit buildings to be added to the two quad - home buildings existing on the site. The new site plan allows for the existing utility lines to be salvaged, although some capacities will have to be increased to serve additional units. The landscape schedule has been revised to reflect proposed plantings and to in- clude four 6" trees. A sidewalk network serving the fronts of the units has also been added to the site plan. In other respects, the site plans are not significantly changed. The building plans have been revised to provide higher roof -lines and dormers on the front elevations. (There will be no third floor to the units, only a very tall attic area.) The builder thereby hopes to make the units more similar in height and roof -pitch to the existing units. The plans also show very shallow balcony rail- ings off of 6' x 6' patio doors in the master bedrooms. The build- ing plans have not been certified by an architect as required by ordinance. We would recommend that such certification be a condition of receiving building permits. The preliminary plat keeps the same townhouse lots for the eight existing units as were designated in the original plat, 30' x 66.73'. The new lots also provide for a small private area adjacent to the individual units. The new townhouse lots are 20' wide for interior units and 23' wide for end units. All are 47' deep. The units themselves are 20' 6" x 39' 6". The NSP easement along the east portion of the property is indicated on the plat. It passes through 4-14-83 -1- Application Nos. 83017 and 83010 continued the back portions of lots 21 through 24 of the proposed replat. The preliminary plat as submitted is roughly drawn. Most of the site data are left off because they are contained in the site plan. However, we have also discovered that some of the property lines do not scale with the listed dimensions and we are not certain that setbacks will be met by some of the units. Also the dimensions of Outlot A are either incorrect.or missing. The Assistant City Engineer has redrawn the southwest line of Outlot A and it results in a deficient setback for the closest four -unit building. We recommend that the plat, in its present form, not be approved. How- ever, if a better, more accurate drawing without setback conflicts is submitted by Thursday's meeting, we will be prepared to recommend conditions of approval for the plat. The primary question over the site plan, assuming dimensions can be verified, is the total number of units. Whether or not the Planning Commission is prepared to grant a density credit for three additional units, the conditions listed below are recommended. However, action at this meeting should be contingent on both an acceptable plat and a site plan that contains an acceptable number of units. Recommended conditions: 1. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits. L... 2. Grading, drainage, utility and berming plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of permits. 3. A site performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee (in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be submitted prior to the issuance of permits to assure completion of approved site im- provements in the area of new construction. 4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical equipment shall be appropriately screened from view. S. The building is to be equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system to meet NFPA standards and shall be connected to'a central monitoring device in accor- dance with Chapter 5 of the City Ordinances. 6. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances. 7. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and driving areas. 8. The building plans shall be certified by a registered Minnesota architect prior to the issuance of building permits. 4-14-83 -2- Oii� Avenue ivur n t g � Street Connection reek Parkway w rooklyn Center.

Kressel Dear Sy: Dayle Nolan Cindy L. Lavorato Michael A. Nash We have had an opportunity to review the issues raised by Al Luke R. Komarek Joan N. Ericksen Seran who represents eight property owners in the Earle Elizabeth D. Moran Brown Townhouses regarding our acquisition of part of vacant portions of that development. First, Mr. Seran is correct in his assertion that the Declarations of the Earle Brown Farm Townhouses require a 3/4 vote of its association members approving any conveyance of common area to a public agency or authority. Therefore, Mr. Seran will have to be included in negotiations for purchase of part of the common area. The answer to the other issue raised by Mr. Seran is not as clear. He asserts that property can only be replatted through District Court proceedings, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes §505.14, to vacate the underlying plat. Mr. Seran is correct that vacation proceedings are necessary if a property owner wishes to alter the original plat of record. However, nothing in the statute seems to compel vacation of the underlying plat when a property owner simply files a replat over already platted property. When a replat is filed over platted property, both plats continue to exist of record. The replat does not, and cannot, change the dedications on the original plat. If a property owner wishes to alter the dedications on the original plat, then the vacation proceedings to which Mr. Seran refers would be useful, or in the alternative, vacation proceedings authorized by §462.358(7) or §412.851, which we normally follow under our charter. Mr. Sy Knapp May 11, 1983 Page Two Our interpretation of the statute is consistent with the views of the Hennepin County Surveyor's Office. They advise us that replats of property are routinely filed without vacation of the underlying plats and that vacation pro- ceedings are usually had only when the plattor reroutes or alters dedicated streets on the original plat. I believe Mr. Seran has notified Sheehy Construction of his clients' interests. We will include Mr. Seran in any future negotiations. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding our conclusions. Sincerely, LeFEVERE, LEFLER, KENNEDY, O'BRIEN & D WZ a Ric and J.

As you know, we are seeking to acquire some vacant portions of that plat and Rod Bernu is seeking to develop the remainder under a. proposed replat of the property. Mr. Seran points out that the sale of common properties to any public agency requires a.3/4ths vote of the members of the association which owns the common properties. He further points out that Mr. Sheehy appears to be one vote short of having a 75% majority. Until I have reviewed those documents in detail, I can neither agree nor disagree with Mr. Seran's opinion. I will be in touch with you as soon as that review is com- plete. In the event _Mr. Seran is correct we will have to expand our negotiations to include Mr. Seran as a representative of those property owners, in order to proceed further with the negotiations for purchase. Again,. in the event Mr. Seran is correct, and those negotiations reveal that the additional property owners are unalterably opposed to a sale, then condemnation would be our only avenue. On the other hand, if it appears from our review that Mr. Seran is not correct we would proceed to deal directly with Sheehy Construction. I understand from Mr. Seran that he addressed the Planning Commission stating that in any event, a replat of the property could only be done through some District Court May 4, 1983 Mr. Sy Knapp Page 2 action. I doubt that is the case but I will review that issue also and let you know the results of our research. Sincerely, LeFEVERE, LEFLER, KENNEDY, O' BRIEN & DRATn; Z Richard J. Schaeffer RJS/cd CITY OF LT7 *A *� NTEn January 19, 1984 Mr. Rod Bernu 4515 Robin Circle Robbinsdale, MN 55422 Dear Mr. Bernu: 6301 SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA 55430 TELEPHONE 561-5440 EMERGENCY -POLICE -FIRE 911 This letter is in response to our recent phone conversation regarding the Earle Grown Farm Townhouses located at 69th Avenue North and York Place in the City of Brooklyn Center. Specifically, you inquired whether you could get building permits for the units for which you had received site and building plan approval under Planning Commission Application No. 83010 on May 23, 1983. I explained in order to obtain permits you must meet all of the conditions pertaining to that application and the preliminary plat which was approved by the City Council under Planning Application No. 83017, also on May 23, 1993, would have to be given final approval by the City Council and filed with Hennepin County prior to the issuance of any building permits. You indicated that you had been requested by Mr. Cy Sheehy to also inquire whether building permits for the units you proposed in 1983 could be issued on the basis of the legal plat of record. I responded that your site plan did not correspond to that plat and, therefore, either an amendment to the site plan or the prelimi- nary plat would have to be accomplished prior to permits being issued. You stated that you had been advised by Mr. Sheehy that a plat had been approved in the early 1970's for a linear arrangement of townhouses and that you should seek building permits under that concept. I informed you that I was not aware that any such plat was the legal plat of record, but would research the matter and advise you. The following is the result of my research into the actions that have transpired relating to the property in question: 1. On August 28, 1972 the City Council, following the review and recommendation of the Planning Commission, approved Planning Commission Application No. 72050 which was a request for site and building plan approval for a 36 unit townhouse complex on the site in question. That concept was for 9 quadra homes, each containing 4 townhouse units. 2. Building permits for 28 units in the complex were issued on November 29, 1972 and December 18, 1972. All but 8 of these building permits were later voided due to expiration and only 8 of the 28 units were constructed (those being the 8 existing units or the two quad homes there presently). "'?4 ,5uft& CI!!3 //G 6U 64 " R 'Mr. Rod Be'rnu Page 2 January 19, 1984 3. Apparently at the time the building permits were being requested a, preliminary plat was also submitted to the City for review. Planning Commission Application No. 72087 comprehending a plat for 28 townhouse lots (in an arrangement of 7 quadra homes) and one common area was approved and accepted by the City Council, following Planning Commission review and recommendation, on January 22, 1973. That plat was filed and is the current plat of legal record. 4. On November 5, 1973 the City Council, following Planning Commission review and recommendation, approved an amendment to Planning Com- mission Application No. 72050 for site and building plan approval for the relocation of buildings, a reduction in the number of units to 30, and modification in the design plans for the townhouses. This plan amendment introduced linear townhouse units as an option to the existing quadra homes. It should be noted that the record of this approval notes a comment from the Planning Commission Secretary that a new plat would be required for this plan since the building locations would be substantially altered from the positions indicated on an already approved plat. 5. No new plat was ever submitted for the linear plan and no building permits were issued for construction of these units.based on this amended plan. 6. The only other activity relating to platting or new site and build- ing plans was the two applications you submitted in 1983 relating to the property, Planning Commission Application No. 83010 (site and building plan approval) and Planning Commission Application No. 83017 (preliminary plat). Building permits could be issued on the basis of the existing plat of legal record with the quadra home concept which was approved back in 1972, this being the same building plan used for the 8 existing townhouse units. A new Performance Agree- ment and financial guarantee, however, would have to be submitted before these permits were issued. Any changes to that site or building plan would require Planning Commission review and City Council approval. The City would not be in a positionat this time to issue building permits for any units lying in the area proposed for right-of-way. The City Attorney has been directed by the City Council to attempt to negotiate acquisition of this area with the affected property owners. My understanding is that some negotiations and/or discussions have transpired between the parties regarding this matter. If you have additional questions or comments or care to discuss this matter further, please contact me. Sincerely, Ronald A. Warren Director of Planning and Inspection RAW:mlg cc: Gerald G.
