PLANNING COMMISSION INFORMATION SHEET
Application No: 93016
Applicant: Independent School District No. 279 (Osseo Area Schools)
Location: 3501 65th Avenue North
Request: Site and Building Plan/Special Use Permit
Independent School District No. 279, Osseo Area Schools, is requesting site and building plan
and special use permit approval to construct a 4,400 square foot addition to the existing 39,300
square foot Garden City Elementary School, which is located at 3501 65th Avenue North. The
proposed addition, which is to be located at the south end of the existing building, includes a
2,000 square foot cafeteria, teacher's lounge, four offices, faculty restroom, and storage spaces.
The project also includes remodeling of the kitchen, remodeling and expansion of the media
center, as well as a new fire sprinkler and fire alarm system throughout the school trash
enclosure will also be constructed.
The school property is located in an R-1 (single family residence) zoning district and is bounded
on the north by 65th Avenue North and Brooklane Park; on the east by the Garden City Court
Apartments; on the south by Builder's Square; and on the west by Brooklyn Boulevard. Public
and private elementary and secondary schools are listed as special uses in the R-1 zoning district.
ACCESS/PARKING
Access to the school property is gained only from 65th Avenue North via two curb cuts that are
approximately 30 feet wide. The two accesses and a large bituminous area are separated by two
chain barriers leading from the sidewalk alongside the school building to the sidewalk located
along 65th Avenue North, which creates a protected walking area leading from the school to the
street. These chain barriers also separate the functions of the large bituminous area at the front,
or north side, of the school. The westerly access leads to the bus loading/unloading area. The
easterly access leads to parking and driving areas along the east side of the school building.
These chain barriers were erected a few years ago as a temporary means of separating the bus
loading/unloading area from the parking lot and to also create a safer walking area from the
school to the sidewalk on the street.
As indicated above, the easterly portion of the large bituminous area serves as parking and drive
lanes for the school. The drive lane with parking on both sides of it continues along the east
side of the building and around the back, or south side, where the proposed addition is to be
located. It will be necessary to expand and alter the bituminous at the rear of the building in
order to have full access around the building back to the new trash enclosure area as well as to
fuel tanks that are also in this location.
The plans indicate 85 standard parking spaces and five handicap accessible spaces for a total of
90 on -site parking spaces. There are 48 licensed and non -licensed staff personnel that work out
of Garden City School. There is no established parking formula in the zoning ordinance for
schools and we have tended to look at the number of full time and part time employees as being
a basis for determining adequate on -site parking. The 90 parking spaces comprehended appears
Planning Commission Application No. 93016
to provide enough parking for staff and visitors on a regular day- to- day basis. Special events
at the school may occasionally require some on -street parking, which is expected and
understood. Accessible curb openings are proposed for the five handicap parking spaces
proposed for this site.
LANDSCAPING
The proposed landscape plan calls for additional landscaping along the east side primarily for
the purpose of parking lot screening. Existing landscaping along the east green strip between the
school and the adjoining apartment complex consists of five Red Maple and a White Poplar.
Other landscaping is located in front of the building and scattered along the north property line
by Brooklane Park and a few Oak trees in somewhat of a grouping along Brooklyn Boulevard.
Landscaping also exists within the school's courtyard. The landscape point system does not
address schools. It should be noted that parking areas containing more than six parking stalls
are required to be screened from abutting residential property. The proposed landscape
screening of the parking lot would consist of 20 new Robusta Green Juniper and 21 new Black
Hills Spruce located between the existing five Red Maple and two new Red Maple to be planted
more to the south end of the existing green strip between the school parking lot and the adjoining
apartment complex. An Amer Maple would be planted in a sodded area located at the southeast
corner of the school, directly east of the new addition. No other landscaping is proposed. The
applicant has been advised that the City is in the process of recommending various landscape and
other enhancements for Brooklyn Boulevard and additional landscaping of this site, particularly
along Brooklyn Boulevard, is anticipated and will need to be provided. School district
cooperation in this regard is anticipated.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/UTH,ITIES
Because the site is over five acres in area ( 9+ acres), Shingle Creek Watershed Management
Commission review and approval pertaining to the quality and rate of site drainage is required.
A storm water detention pond is proposed to the south of the altered parking lot. Watershed
Management Commission approval of the pond and its functioning is required.
Currently the entire parking area lacks curb and gutter. There is no 15 foot minimum green
strip existing along 65th Avenue North either. Drainage consists of surface flow generally to
the south along the east side of the building. The proposed storm water treatment pond would
handle this run off. The expanded and altered blacktop area would be bound by a bituminous
edge. We have advised the applicant as to the City's requirement for a minimum B612 curb and
gutter around all driving and parking areas. This requirement will mean significant modification
to the paved areas including curb and gutter around the perimeter of the parking lot, the
establishment of a 15 foot green strip also bound by curb and gutter along 65th Avenue North
and curb and gutter around a raised sidewalk area leading from the school to the 65th Avenue
North sidewalk where the temporary chain barriers are now located. Mr. Dale Hamilton,
12-9-93 2
Planning Commission Application No. 93016
Coordinator of Management Support Systems for the school district, has advised us that the
school district is currently involved in a program of updating, replacing and repairing all parking
lots in the district within the next ten years. He is requesting the school district be allowed to
defer the required curb and gutter improvements at this time until the Garden City facility is
upgraded, at which time such improvements would be accomplished. This seems like a fair
means of accomplishing compliance with current ordinance regulations. We would recommend
that these improvements be deferred until that time.
BUILDING
The exterior treatment of the building addition will be a face brick with prefinished metal
flashing along the top of the building to match the existing exterior. Aluminum windows to
match the existing windows are also proposed. The trash enclosure located on the west wall of
the new addition will be of the same face brick with a prefinished metal flashing to match the
existing exterior treatment. They propose a chain link gate with slats. We would recommend
that an opaque wood gate attached to a metal frame be required rather than the chain link with
slats to provide for better screening.
SPECIAL USE PERMIT STANDARDS
We believe the proposed improvements to Garden City Elementary School meet the standards
for Special Use Permits contained in Section 35-220, Subdivision 2 of the City's Zoning
Ordinance. The addition of a new cafeteria, teacher's lounge, offices, faculty restrooms, storage
spaces, and the kitchen remodeling and expansion of the media center as well as new fire
sprinkler and alarm systems throughout the school will enhance the public welfare. These
improvements will certainly not be injurious to other property in the neighborhood nor impede
normal or orderly development. In fact, the new landscape screening of the easterly parking and
driving areas is an improvement in terms of screening for the abutting residential area.
Commitment on the part of the school district to upgrading parking along with new curb and
gutter and draining improvements is also a benefit to the community.
A public hearing has been scheduled and notices of the Planning Commission's consideration
have been sent.
RECOMMENDATION

following conditions:

Chair Pro Tern Mark Holmes, Commissioners Bertil Johnson, Robert Mickelson, Dianne
Reem, Debra Hilstrom and Tim Willson. Also present were the Secretary to the Planning
Commission Planning and Zoning Specialist Ronald Warren and Planning Commission
Recording Secretary Kathy Stratton. Chairperson Ella Sander had called to indicate she

Motion by Commissioner Willson, seconded by Commissioner Reem to approve the minutes
of the November 18, 1993, Planning Commission meeting as submitted. Voting in favor:
Chair Pro Tern Holmes, Commissioners Holmes, Mickelson, Reem and Willson. Voting
against: none. Abstaining: Commissioners Hilstrom and Johnson. The motion passed.
CHAIRPERSON'S EXPLANATION
Chair Pro Tern Holmes explained that the Planning Commission is an advisory body. One
of the Commission's functions is to hold public hearings. In the matters concerned in these
hearings, the Commission makes recommendations to the City Council. The City Council
makes all final decisions in these matters.
APPLICATION NO. 93016 (INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 2791
Chair Pro Tern Holmes introduced the first item of business, a request from Independent
School District No. 279 for site and building plan and special use permit approval for a 4,400
square foot addition to Garden City Elementary School located at 3501 65th Avenue North.
The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Commission
Information Sheet for Application No. 93016, attached) and offered to answer any questions.
Commissioner Johnson commented this is the time to do something to dress the school and
surrounding area up a bit. He said he has noticed for years as he comes down Brooklyn
Boulevard the ugliness of the school and grounds and asked if there is something the City
can do to make it better.
12-9-93 1
J'
The Secretary explained the report does make reference to the Brooklyn Boulevard study
which is currently in process. He said School District 279 is aware of the study and
amenable to doing landscaping when the enhancement program is ready to go.
Commissioner Holmes asked if the school's facade could be dressed up.
Commissioner Willson suggested language be added requiring improvements to the area to
be consistent with enhancements suggested by the Brooklyn Boulevard Task Force's
enhancement plan. The Secretary agreed and said that would not be a problem, and could
be added to the application as condition #12.
Commissioner Hilstrom asked when it was proposed for the walkway to be improved and
the Secretary explained that would take place along with the parking lot improvements
scheduled to be accomplished by the School District.
Commissioner Willson asked if the City has been given the School District's schedule on
when the parking lot improvements would be done and the Secretary explained there are
currently five schools scheduled for improvements first, and Garden City is not one of them.
Commissioner Reem commented the dry pond is a good improvement and suggested the
wording in condition #7 be changed so the School District doesn't wait ten years to make
improvements.
The Secretary explained the School District works on a yearly budget system and if curb and
gutter improvements were required by the City at the same time as the addition, they may
have to forego the addition.
The Secretary suggested the City recommend the School District to submit a landscaping
plan within one year that is consistent with the Brooklyn Boulevard study.
Commissioner Reem suggested condition #4 be changed to require an opaque wooden gate
on a metal frame.
Commissioner Mickelson suggested condition #10 be expanded to include compliance with
the requirements of the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission, and condition
#8 read Performance Agreement rather than Performance Guarantee.
Chair Pro Tern Holmes recognized representatives of School District 279 Mr. Dave
Hamilton and Mr. Mark Hayes who said they would answer any questions.
Commissioner Johnson asked what the impetus behind the expansion is at this time, and Mr.
Hamilton said it is to bring equity to the building and update inadequate facilities.
12-9-93 2
In response to a question by Commissioner Holmes, Mr. Hamilton explained a new
lunchroom is needed because currently the gymnasium is used for lunch, which means no
phy-ed classes can use the gym at that time.
Commissioner Willson asked if the expansion meant any classroom space is gained. Mr.
Hayes responded classroom space remains the same but other space is greatly improved.
Commissioner Hilstrom said it is a great inconvenience to use the gym for lunch, and she
feels the addition is much needed. She also asked if anything could be done about stickers
in the playground area. Mr. Hamilton explained the School District has become much more
hesitant to use weed killer and herbicides because of the possible adverse affects which
makes control of stickers and burrs more difficult.
In response to a question by Commissioner Reem, Mr. Hamilton explained he could give
no guarantee about when the parking lot or other improvements could be accomplished
because of budget constraints.
Mr. Hamilton explained the School District would comply with installation of a wooden gate
rather than a chain link fence with slats, and also explained any asbestos would be removed
with the routine proper abatement. He also offered the compromise of submitting a
landscaping and improvements plan as an add/alternate plan at this time so that the School
District will know costs for budgeting purposes.
He said that plan could be revised when the Brooklyn Boulevard Task Force is finished
creating its guidelines. He reported construction on the addition is scheduled for summer
of 1994.

square foot addition to Orchard Lane Elementary School located at 6201 Noble Avenue
North.
The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Commission
Information Sheet for Application No. 93017, attached) and offered to answer any questions.
Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Hayes also returned to answer questions.
Commissioner Willson asked where the elevator was to be and how much of it will stick up
on the roof. Mr. Hayes showed the location of the elevator and explained two feet of the
equipment would be visible on the roof, but adequate screening would be provided.
Commissioner Holmes asked about asbestos and was told by Mr. Hamilton any asbestos
disturbed would be handled with routine proper abatement.
Mr. Hayes explained Orchard Lane is the only two story elementary school in District 279
and these changes to the school are needed to provide for updated handicap access and to
meet NFPA standards.
Commissioner Holmes asked who owns the neighboring property where the pond would go.
The Secretary responded it is the Brook Park Baptist Church. He noted the Church and
other property in this area would benefit from the addition of the pond as well as the school.
Mr. Hayes pointed out some extra landscaping on the site plan that seemed unnecessary to
meet requirements. He suggested that particular part of the plan be eliminated and money
diverted to meeting the conditions forthcoming from the Brooklyn Boulevard study as
mentioned in Planning Commission Application 93016. The Commission agreed that was
acceptable and asked Mr. Hayes to submit a revised plan.
Commissioner Mickelson suggested the same changes to conditions in Application 93016 be
made to Application 93017.

permit approval for a 4,400 square foot addition to Garden City Elementary located at 3501
65th Avenue North. This application was recommended for approval by the Planning
Commission at is December 9, 1993, meeting.
The Planning and Zoning Specialist gave details of the application and explained a revised
landscaping plan which met and eliminated condition #12 posed by the Planning
Commission. He pointed out the School District had requested to be excused from
providing curb and gutter improvements immediately because of budget constraints. He
stated the Planning Commission recommended approval of this application and explained
Mr. Dale Hamilton and Mr. Mark Hayes were present at the meeting to represent School
District No. 279 and answer any questions.
Councilmember Scott asked if there were plans to improve the Garden City Elementary
playground area since it has become very unattractive and mostly filled with cockleburrs.
Councilmember Kalligher arrived at the meeting at 7:10 p.m.
Mr. Hamilton explained it is his understanding the School District has plans to update
numerous playground areas which have recently become a problem due to new ADA and
safety requirements which prohibit weed killer and herbicides.
Mayor Paulson suggested a gate should be put in the fence in the southwest corner of the
school property since children are currently jumping over it there, and Mr. Hamilton said
the School District would comply with that request if the City asks them to do so.
There was a motion by Councilmember Rosene and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
approve Planning Commission Application No. 93016 submitted by Independent School
District No. 279 subject to the following conditions:

DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND INSPECTION
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT
FILE NO. 93016
This Agreement is entered into by Osseo Area Schools ISD 279 hereinafter called the Developer and
the City of Brooklyn Center, a Municipal Corporation, under the laws of the State of Minnesota, hereafter called
the City.
THE WORK
The Developer has received approval of its Development Plans by the City Council of the City (pursuant
to City Ordinances), subject to the execution of this Performance Agreement, pursuant to the City Council
approval of December 20, 1993 and in accordance with said Development plans all of which are made a part
hereof by reference. In consideration of such approval, the Developer, its successors and assigns, does covenant
and agree to perform the work as set forth in the Development Plans, in the aforesaid Approval, and as
hereinafter set forth, upon the real estate described as follows: Garden City School, 3501 65th Avenue North.
