Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 2005-016
Applicant: The Luther Company Limited Partnership
Location: 6700 & 6800 Brooklyn Boulevard and 4215 69th Avenue North
Request: Preliminary Plat Approval
The applicant, The Luther Company Limited Partnership, is requesting preliminary plat approval to divide and combine to reconfigure two existing lots currently addressed as 6800 Brooklyn
Boulevard (Lot 1, Block 1, Bri Mar Addition) and 6700 Brooklyn Boulevard (Lot 2, Block 1, Bri Mar Addition) for the purpose of a two phase redevelopment and expansion of the existing
car dealerships located on these properties. The properties under consideration are currently zoned C-2 (Commerce) and are located along the easterly side of Brooklyn Boulevard between
I-94 and 69th Avenue North. They are bounded on the north by 69th Avenue North; on the east by R-3 (Multiple Family Residence) zoned property containing non-conforming single family
homes and a townhouse complex along with R-1 zoned property; on the south by I-94 right of way; and on the west by Brooklyn Boulevard with C-2 zoned property on the opposite side of
the street.
These properties and the property located at 4215 69th Avenue North (Lot 1, Block 1, Chrysler Realty Addition) are the subject of a Planned Unit Development Rezoning to PUD/C-2 (Planned
Unit Development/Commerce) and development plan approval under Planning Commission Application No. 2005-015. That application comprehends a two phase redevelopment of the sites for
an expanded Dodge operation and the demolition of the former Ryan Olds property (Phase One) and a future new automobile dealership on the cleared site (Phase Two).
Their plan is to alter the existing property line located between the Dodge and former Ryan sites to create a larger Dodge property. Approximately 78 ft. of Brooklyn Boulevard frontage
and 16,041 sq. ft. (.37 acres) from the old Ryan property would be added to the Dodge property. Plans are to incorporate the property at 4215 69th Avenue North, which is owned by The
Luther Company and used as a car storage facility into the Dodge property making it a Dodge truck center. Generally, city ordinances require separate properties that are contiguous
and under common ownership and use to be combined into a single parcel through platting or registered land survey. This would be the appropriate time to accomplish such a combination
but the applicant is requesting they not be required to do this because of potential environmental issues relating to the former Pilgrim Cleaner’s site and potential ground water and
soils impact on the property in question. Appropriate cross access and parking agreements will have to be provided in order to wave this requirement and this will also be part of the
Planned Unit Development consideration.
The proposed new plat is to be known as Bri Mar 2nd Addition and will contain two new lots. Lot 1 (the Brookdale Dodge site) is proposed to be 296,009 sq. ft. (6.80 acres) and Lot 2
(new redevelopment site) is proposed to be 289,050 sq. ft. (6.63 acres).
All of the lots exceed the minimum requirements for lots in the C-2 (Commerce) underlying zoning district. Access to the sites will remain the same, two on 69th Avenue North and two
on Brooklyn Boulevard. The Director of Public Works/City Engineer is reviewing the preliminary plat and will be making written comments which will be attached for the Commission’s review.
Copies of the preliminary plat have been forwarded to Hennepin County for review because Brooklyn Boulevard is a county road. This plat is more than five acres in area and is subject
to Shingle Creek Watershed Management review. No on site water detention is planned for this development as water will be sent to a regional facility located in the Palmer Lake basin
area, which has been designed to accommodate such a discharge.
A public hearing has been scheduled for this preliminary plat and notice of the Planning Commission’s consideration has been published in the Brooklyn Center Sun/Post.
