Applicant's Signature Date PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION lets this day of 19, subject to the Chairman CITY COUNCIL ACTION Dates of Council Consideration: Approved '� Denied this day of� s��� r�" 19, with the following Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 97010 Applicant: Holiday Stationstores, Inc. Location: Northwest Quadrant of T.H. 252 and 66th Avenue North Request: Preliminary Plat Approval The applicant is seeking preliminary plat approval to subdivide into three lots the property that is currently described as Tracts A & B, Registered Land Survey No. 1442. The *property in question is zoned C-2 (Commerce) and is located at the northwest quadrant of T.H. 252 and 66th Avenue North. It is bounded on the west by R-3 zoned property containing the Riverwood Townhomes; on the north by vacant R-3 zoned property; on the east by T.H. 252 right-of-way; and on the south by 66th Avenue North with the Super America gasoline service station and convenience store on the opposite side of the street. The total land area contained within this preliminary plat is 142,684 sq. ft. or 3.28 acres. The current Tract A is a vacant L shaped parcel that bounds the existing Tract B on the north and west sides. Tract B currently contains a one story dental office/clinic. The purpose of the proposed preliminary plat is to create various lots which would accommodate a redevelopment of this area. The redevelopment would relocate the existing dental office/clinic to the west and create a parcel for development of a Holiday Stationstore approximately where the dental office is now located. The proposal would also create a lot which would border the dental office and Holiday Stationstore on the north but would remain vacant for future development. The new legal description is proposed to be Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 1, Holiday Brooklyn Center Addition. Lot 1 is proposed to be 53,603 sq. ft. in area (1.23 acres) and would be the site for the proposed Holiday Stationstore. (See Planning Commission Application No. 97011.) Lot 2, which lies westerly of Lot 1, is proposed to be 35,090 sq. ft. in area (.81 acres) and will contain the redeveloped dentist office. (See Planning Commission Application No. 97012.) Lot 3, which is located northerly of Lots 1 and 2, is proposed to be 53,992 sq. ft. (1.24 acres) and will provide a buffer parcel between the Holiday Stationstore and the abutting R-3 zoned property. This parcel will be subject to future commercial development. The zoning ordinance requires that all parcels have frontage on a public right-of-way. The proposed Lot 3 has frontage along the T.H. 252 right-of-way, however, no access to that roadway will be allowed. The parcel is in effect land locked without some type of access arrangement allowing access to the site over the proposed Lots 1 and 2. The applicant is proposing to provide appropriate access to Lot 3 and the necessary cross access easement will have to be filed with the final plat of this property. Also, cross access agreements between Lots 1 and 2 will be required because access to Lot 2 will be gained via Lot 1. A 60 ft. wide easement runs north and south through the approximate center of this proposed plat. The easement area contains an existing sanitary sewer and must be maintained. The 8-14-97 Page 1 easement will be along the westerly 60 ft. of Lot 1 and continue through the approximate center of the proposed Lot 3. The City Engineer is reviewing the proposed preliminary plat and has forwarded a copy of it to MN/DOT and has requested their comments. It should be noted that there is surplus MN/DOT right-of-way located southeasterly of and adjacent to this plat. We have encouraged the applicant to contact MN/DOT regarding the possible acquisition of this surplus property and the inclusion of that property in this plat. It is not necessary for this land to be included as will be shown in the site plan for the Holiday Stationstore, however, it would seem beneficial to include the excess land with the Holiday proposal and would not leave a vacant, undevelopable portion of land between the station and the T.H. 252 right-of-way area. The plan for this area calls for a shared access along 66th Avenue North for all three of the proposed lots. The City Engineer has requested comments from Mr. Glen Van Warmer of Short, Elliott, Hendrickson (SEH) regarding the desirable location of access to the sites. A public hearing has been scheduled for this preliminary plat and a notice of the Planning Commission's consideration has been published in the Brooklyn Center Sun/Post. Also, as previously mentioned, MN/DOT has been notified of this proposed plat. All in all we believe the preliminary plat is in order and does reflect the proposed redevelopment outlined in subsequent planning commission applications. Appropriate cross access easements will need to be developed in a manner approved by the City Engineer and City Attorney. RECOMMENDATION The proposed preliminary plat appears to be in order and approval of the application is recommended subject to at least the following conditions: 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. Appropriate driveway and cross access easements shall be developed and filed with the title to the properties in question. These easements and documents are subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer and City Attorney prior to final plat approval. 4. The existing 60 ft. wide easement shall be continued and shown on the final plat for this property. 8-14-97 Page 2 t � K < �g og ffi� Q� hi rev as+� -ay Sam 72RD AVE N 72NO AVE N 71ST AVE N 70TH AVE N 69TH AVE N. 68TH AVE N 67H AVE N 66TH AVE N 65TH AVE N 64TH AVE N 61RD AVE N z al � 5771'V- do leeMOT P Cl CD v_— ai l f.- i irl v o 77 T. � Z 02 N 1N Al lip C y - -1f ♦;..r: D u, � / W — V / � I to ` i � WW A ,, \ � ,7� _� % _ XY / / /. •' l iR� tp � cp H A `�' c�a 1, --L.._ � Y f ✓�'� � y«. { \' ° �� -r -" m n > / 7' Chi+ -Till '1 _11 4157'll't✓ \ 180.00 p'9 A 1;J,\ \ \ 1.50'18I 3'at<8S_94S ru ri MEMORANDUM DATE: August 4, 1997 TO: Ron Warren, Planning and Zoning Specialist FROM: Scott Brink, City Engineer SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat and Site Plan Proposed Holiday Station and Dental Office Relocation T.H. 252 at 66th Avenue North(NW Corner) (Holiday Brooklyn Center) DRAFT A preliminary plat and site plan has been submitted to the city for review and approval. The plat submitted for review was prepared by the firm of Bolton & Menk, Inc., and dated July 23, 1997. The following comments are offered at this time. • Additional Drainage and Utility Easements should be provided along the property lines, a typical standard provided on most plats. A minimum five(5) foot easement along both sides of property lines, and 10 feet along existing roadways, or roadway right of ways should be provided. • A utility plan has not yet been submitted at this time. Any common sanitary sewer and water lines that would serve both facilities, along with any shared driveway/access should be accounted for in an appropriate agreement. A utility and maintenance agreement with the City will also need to be provided. These agreements should be developed and recorded with the final plat. • A permanent easement 60 feet wide traverses through the center of the property. It is imperative that no permanent structures or facilities be located within this easement. In addition, it is recommended that the existing sanitary sewer within this easement be inspected for its condition prior to any building on the site. • Traffic issues, particularly access to and from the property from 66th Avenue has been examined, and a report from SEH is attached. Key points from the report are as follows: There will be conflicts between exiting left turning traffic from both the Holiday and Super America stations. Depending on any future redevelopment in that area, it appears that a center median on 66th will eventually be required. The applicant (Holiday) should be made aware that installation of a center median on 66th Avenue is a strong future possibility. The station site does not appear to have adequate circulation space and mobility for delivery vehicles. The report describes these inadequacies further. • The total site area as submitted is 3.40 acres. The property will therefore not be subject to review by the West Mississippi Water Management Commission. However, stormwater management of the site has been reviewed in conjunction with the City's Water Management Plan, and the City's existing storm water infrastructure. It appears from the proposed plan that stormwater will be directed from the site by an internal storm drain system that will connect to an existing 15 inch storm water pipe, located on the property adjacent to the west. Because the pipe appears to be on private property, it is not shown on city record drawings, and should be verified for its location and allowable use. It is presumed to drain to an existing City maintained storm water line that is undersized according to the City's Water Management Plan. It is therefore recommended that the applicant provide an on -site storm water detention facility that will at a minimum, limit the amount of discharge from the site to the pre -developed condition. • Because the property borders State Highway Right of Way(T.H. 252), the plat will be subject to review by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. A copy of the preliminary plat has been submitted to Mn/Dot, however, no comments have been received at the time of this writing. • Any additional comments or recommendations by the City Attorney �uu2 uo, Uo, y ijtL iL:ui r.�a o1L 1bU Y1�U Sttl 3535 VACNAIS CENTER DRIVE. 200 SEN CENTER.

Scott Brink City Engineer City of Brooklyn Center 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 Dear Scott: RE: Brooklyn Center, Minnesota Proposed Holiday Service Station 66th Street at Highway 252 SEH No. A-BROCT9801.00 As you requested, we have reviewed the proposed site plan for the Holiday Service Station to be located on the northwest corner of 66th Street and Highway 252. This station is proposed to be 4,200 square feet in size and will have six fuel islands and twelve fueling stations. Also included is a dental office located to the west of the Holiday station. There is an additional oudot shown to the north of the two buildings. Traffic Volumes We anticipate that the Holiday station will generate approximately 1,800 vehicles per day. We anticipate about 135 vehicles in the am. peak hour and 160 in the p.m, peak hour. They will be equally distributed between inbound and outbound. The dental office is anticipated to generate approximately 200 to 250 vehicle trips per day. The trips to and from the dental office will be relatively evenly spaced throughout the day, and will have little impact on volumes on the driveways or on 66th Street. The service station traffic will come primarily from traffic already on either Highway 252 or 66th Street. We estimate that approximately 60 percent of the total traffic and up to 80 percent of the p.m. peak traffic will be "pass -by" traffic. These trips will impact the volume of traffic at the driveways, but will not add to the volume of traffic on the roads. Taking into account the volumes generated by the dental office, and both the new and pass -by trips from the Holiday station, it is possible to develop a turning movement forecast for the driveways. Primary concern will be left turns in from eastbound 66th Street and left turns out from the driveway onto 66th Street. In the a.m. peak hour, we estimate there will be 32 eastbound left turns into the establishments and 47 southbound left turns to go east on 66th Street. This is approximately one. left turn into the facility every two minutes, and less than one per minute exiting the facility and turning left. In the p.m. peak hour, the volumes for the left turns will diminish. This is primarily due to the direction of the pass -by trips of the Holiday station and the relatively few anticipated inbound trips to the dental SHORT ELLIOTT HENDRICKSON INC. MINNEAPOLIS, MN ST.

We estimate there will be 21 eastbound left turns to the facility and 39 southbound left turns exiting the facility. Because of the high volume of pass -by trips, it is not anticipated that the station will have a major impact on the operation of the intersection of 66th Street and Highway 252. As an example, we estimate that the additional northbound to westbound left turns will be approximately 10 to 15 in the p.m. peak hour. 66th Street Operations " The driveways to the Holiday station are offset from those to Super America based on the proposed site plan. Left turning traffic from the Holiday station will be in direct conflict with the left turning traffic from the Super America station. In other words, the left turns will be turning toward each other a short distance apart and there will be conflicts. As part of other studies for the City, we have reviewed the potential increase of traffic along 66th Street with the probable redevelopment of the area south of 66th Street. We anticipated that the heavy northbound to westbound left turn and the number of driveways immediately west of Highway 252 will require some type of a median and/or change in access. Installation of a median along 66th Street will �f y significantly change the traffic pattern to and from both the Holiday station that is proposed and the existing Super America station. The applicant should be aware that a median is a possibility, and will perhaps be required as traffic volumes grow. No calculations were made for the potential traffic from the outlot to the north. The outlot is relatively large in size. Site Plan Review The general circulation to the Holiday station should work well. Traffic will normally enter from the south and approach the gas pumps, facing north. Most of the traffic will then exit by making a left turn back to the common driveway to the west of the station, or travel to the east around to the carwash on the north side of the building. Motorists entering the site from the east will probably use the enter -only driveway. Because of the angle, they will be entering at a higher than normal speed, and will be faced with an immediate decision as to which pump island to visit. They will be in conflict with traffic entering from the west which will come through the west driveway. With the relatively low volumes and with the westbound traffic being somewhat controlled by the traffic signal on Highway 252, conflicts will not be a regular occurrence. It is not apparent where the trash container will be. If it is assumed to be at the northeast corner of the site, trash trucks will have to travel around the pump islands. With the current geometrics, the trucks will have to enter the site from the common driveway on the west, and travel to the aisle between the building and the gas pumps. It does not appear possible for the trash truck to travel onto the site from the east one- way driveway without traveling between the pump islands, which will be difficult if there are vehicles at the islands. LtjUU4 -4 0 vo vu• y I SILL } Mtn Z' Mr. Scott Brink August 6, 1997 Page 3 Exiting the site will also be difficult because of the islands and design of the area north of the carwash. Turning templates indicate that the island between the exit from the carwash and the area north of the carwash will restrict the trucks and prevent them from making a turn without traveling over the island. We anticipate that delivery trucks will have the same problem. It appears that delivery trucks will use the east side of the store for parking since there is limited room on the west side or in front of the store. Thus, delivery trucks will have the same circulation problems that trash trucks have. In addition, the delivery trucks will be in the path of vehicles approaching the carwash. Gasoline transport tankers will also have a problem on the site. It appears they must be scheduled to arrive from the west, use the west driveway and hope there is no traffic so they can make the reverse turn to reach the southwest corner of the site. it appears that the storage tanks will probably be located on the east side since placing them anywhere else will put the unloading tanker truck in direct conflict with circulating vehicles. The tanker, when exiting, will have to travel between the store and gas pumps since it is physically impossible to make the move around the north side of the building. Because of the narrow area, it appears that all deliveries will have to be made at off hours and hope that there is little traffic on site. All circulation on the dental office site will be in through a single access point. We assume that the employees will be parking in the south parking lot and that the east lot will be reserved primarily for clients. The westerly two spaces in the south parking lot will be difficult to exit from since there is no turnaround area. It does appear that there is adequate parking for the dental office based on the size of the building.
