P/I Form No. 19
Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 94007
Applicant: Maranatha Baptist Care Center
Location: 5401 69th Avenue North
Request: Special Use Permit/Site and Building Plan Approval
The applicant is seeking site and building plan approval and an amendment to its special use
permit to construct a 5,125 square foot addition to the Maranatha Baptist Care Center which is
located at 5401 69th Avenue North. This 114.5' by 45' addition would be to Wing II, the
center wing, to the rear of the building.
The property in question is zoned Rl (one family residence) and this care center is a special use
in that zoning district per section 35-310, subdivision 2g which provides for "other, non-
commercial uses required for the public welfare in an Rl district, as determined by the City
Council." The subject site is located on the south side of 69th Avenue, westerly of Toledo
Avenue North. It is bounded on the north by 69th Avenue; on the east by single family homes
facing Toledo Avenue; on the south by single family homes facing 68th Avenue North; and on
the west by R6 zoned property which is the site of Maranatha Place, a four story senior housing
complex operated by Maranatha.
ACCESS/PARKING
The plan calls for no change with respect to access to and parking for this site. Access is gained
from 69th Avenue leading to a parking lot at the northeast portion of the property which is
connected to a drive lane leading to the main entrance for the care center. Access can also be
gained to this same point from a driveway opening on 69th Avenue serving Maranatha Place
which also leads to the care center entrance. Approximately 53 parking spaces are located on
the care center property, with space available to add more parking if necessary. Also, the care
center can utilize some available space at Maranatha Place should the need arise. The parking
formula for a nursing or rest home is one space for every four beds, plus one space for each
staff doctor and one space for every two employees at the maximum shift. The expansion does
not contemplate any additional beds, only the rearrangement of units in the facility to better
accommodate patients needs and ADA requirements. In fact, it is my understanding, that there
is a moratorium on adding more nursing home beds in the metropolitan area. This facility has
106 beds and, based on past records, has 14 staff doctor's visiting the facility and 50 employees
at the maximum shift. This would amount to a parking requirement of 66 (26.5 + 14 + 25 =
65.5) it is not believed that this 13 parking stall deficiency is a problem because of available
space to construct additional parking on the site and the arrangement with neighboring
Maranatha Place. Hdwever, the execution and filing of a proof of parking agreement between
Maranatha and the City might be appropriate should parking become an issue in the future.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/UTILITIES
No changes to the plans involving these matters are proposed. Because the site is less than 5
acres, no watershed review is required.
Planning Commission Information Sheet
LANDSCAPING
The applicant has submitted a landscape plan in response to the landscape point system used by
the Commission to evaluate such plans. This 3.77 acre site requires 342 landscape points.
Existing landscaping is shown on the plan and amounts to 148.5 points based on 9 shade trees,
5 decorative trees, 2 'coniferous trees and 78 shrubs. New plantings amount to 194 points for
a total of 342.5 landscape points. New plantings include 8 Maple trees, 3 to the rear of the
property, 1 on either side of the new addition, one west of Wing III, and one on either side of
the entrance drive in the 69th Avenue greenstrip. Eighteen Spruce trees, 5' high, are to be
added to the site. Eight will be located along the rear property line, 20' on center, two at the
southeast corner of the site, 6 to the east of Wing I also planted 20' on center and two near the
front building entrance across the drive lane. Twelve Juniper shrubs are proposed. Five are
to be located along the edge of the patio between Wing I and Wing II; two to the south of Wing
I; and five near the sign near the front of the building.
BUILDING
The exterior of the building addition is to be concrete and masonry. Stack bond, painted
concrete block with a decorator top course will be provided to match the existing building.
Windows are to be aluminum, thermal break units to match the existing. The building addition
is to be fire sprinklered.
LIGHTING/TRASH
No new exterior lighting is proposed and the dumpster is to remain in its current location which
is not shown on the plan but is in the northeasterly portion of the site.
Special Use Permit Standards
A public hearing is scheduled for the special use permit and notices of the Planning
Commission's consideration have been sent. Attached for the Commission's review is a copy
of section 35-220 subdivision 2 which contains the five standards for special use permits. As
of the writing of the this report, I have received one call in response to the notices that from
Mrs. Eugene Meyer who owns the home at 6843 Toledo Avenue North (southwest corner of
Toledo and 69th Avenues). The Meyer's are currently out of town and will not be able to attend
the Planning Commission meeting due to other obligations. Mrs. Meyer has asked me to convey
her concerns to the Planning Commission and has left a telephone number in Fergus Falls where
she can be reached. .She said that she is opposed to the expansion of Maranatha because she
does not believe the organization has been responsive in dealing with neighborhood concerns.
Among other things she is concerned about noise and other activities that she considers
detrimental to her property. She cites the following:
-2-
Planning Commission Information Sheet
1. Garbage is being collected at 5:30 a.m. and is disturbing. She claimed
Maranatha Care Center had informed her that garbage would not be collected
until after 7:00 a.m. (Note - section 7-102 subdivision 4 of the City ordinances
requires collection in residential zones to be conducted between 6:30 a.m. and
8:30 p.m.)
2. Noise from employees dumping garbage in the trash containers late at night is
also disturbing. She suggests that the dumpster be moved to another location on
the property.
3. Noise from delivery trucks making early morning deliveries with air brakes and
back up indicators is also disturbing to neighbors.
4. Mrs. Meyer's cited noise from employees during shift change at night. The noise
is from cars, loud mufflers, door slamming, etc.
5. She also cited littering problems noting that Maranatha has a no smoking on the
property policy. She indicated employees smoke on the side walk by the Meyer's
property and often discard cigarette butts, styrofoam cups and pop cans in the
Meyer's yard and on the boulevard area adjacent to the sidewalk. Mrs. Meyer
noted that she and her husband try to maintain their property and are constantly
picking up this type of material from their property and from the boulevard
portion of the right-of-way which they are expected to maintain.
6. She cited water problems on their property because she claims, over the years,
Maranatha has built up their parking lot by the entrance so much so that it causes
standing water on their property.
7. She claims that over the years there has been a lack of maintenance on the screen
fence between the residents property and Maranatha Care Center. She said it has
become dilapidated and needs better maintenance.
These comments and concerns will be passed along to representatives of Maranatha Care Center
for their response on Thursday evening.
RECOMMENDATION

recommend approval of the application subject to at least the following conditions:

RE: Conditions for release of Financial Guarantee, Keller Construction
Dear Mr. Peterson:
The City of Brooklyn Center is holding a Site Performance Agreement and Financial Guarantee for
site improvements at Maranatha. All of the site improvements for Maranatha Place, Planning Dept.
Application No. 87010, have been completed except for the following:
• The hydrant adjustments referred to in 06/20/90 corresp9ndence from Gary Shallcross
have yet to be completed. Specifically, two hydrants need to be raised a minimum of
6", and it appears that the valve boxes for these hydrants also need to be raised.
• An asbuilt survey showing buildings, parking areas and horizontal and vertical ties to
all utilities (bends, service wyes, water services, etc.) must also be submitted. This
asbuilt could simply be the original utility plan with revised or additional information
from the contractor's or inspector's records.
These items of work must be completed before the City will consider release of the Financial
Guarantee. Please contact me regarding the specific requirements of the above -mentioned asbuilt
drawings. Questions about the hydrant adjustments should be directed to Dave Peterson, 569-3421.

APPLICATION NO. 94007 iMARANATHA BAPTIST CARE CENTER)
Chairperson Willson introduced the next item of business, a request from Maranatha Baptist
Care Center requesting site and building plan approval and an amendment to its special use
permit to construct a 5,125 square foot addition to the nursing care center.
6-16-94 3
The Secretary presented the staff report, used overhead transparencies to show the location
and detail (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 94007,
attached).
The Secretary stated he had received two calls in response to the notices. One call was from
Mrs. Eugene Meyer who owns the home at 6843 Toledo Avenue North (southwest corner
of Toledo and 69th Avenues). The Meyer's are currently out of town and will not be able
to attend the Planning Commission meeting due to other obligations. The Secret reported Mrs. Meyer had asked him to convey her concerns to the Planning Commission and had left a telephone number in Fergus Falls where she can be reached. She said that she
is opposed to the expansion of Maranatha because she does not belicvc the organization has
been responsive in dealing with neighborhood concerns. Among other things, she is
concerned about noise and other activities that she considers detrimental to her property.
She cites the following:
1. Garbage is being collected at 5:30 a.m. and is disturbing.
Z. Noise from employees dumping garbage in the trash containers late at night
is also disturbing.
3. Noise from delivery trucks.
4. Noise from employees during shift change.
5. Littering problems since Maranatha has a no smoking on the property policy.
6. Water problems due to Maranatha building up their parking lot by the
entrance.
7. Lack of maintenance on the screen fence between the residents property and
Maranatha Care Center,
The Secretary reported he also received a call from Ms. Sandy Christenson of 6803 Toledo
Who would not be able to attend the Planning Commission's meeting due to other
obligations, stating a concern that the proposed trees which border her property would shade
her garden and should be moved back from the fence,
Commissioner Sander question the Secretary if the mature growth width of Spruce trees to
be planted are taken into consideration. Commissioner HUstrom showed concern if the staff
would be increased with this expansion.
The Secretary stated that at this time the applicant is not proposing to increase the bed
count and would need City approval to do so since the parking lot would have to
6-16-94 4
accommodate this increase. He added that it is his understanding that the staff will also not
increase due to this addition.
Commissioner Booth asked for clarification of where the Meyer's property is located. The
Secretary pointed the property out on the overhead projector.
Commissioner Hilstrom raised the question, what kind of fence borders the Meyer's property
and Maranatha Care Center, The Secretary was not sure but believes it to be chain link
fence.
Chairperson Willson requested that the applicant come forward. Mr. Jerry Mundt architect
for Maranatha Care Center came forward to answer landscaping questions. The shrubs on
the east were designed as screening. The trees will be 20 feet from center and will not be
any closer than 8 feet from the property line. The remodeling will be affecting room sizes
turning 2 bed rooms into 1 bed rooms so it will not be increasing beds. Mr. Mundt then
referred questions to Ms. Eunice Ulshafer of the Administration of Maranatha Care Center.
Ms. Ulshafer addressed each issue that Mrs. Meyer had voiced. The garbage vendor had
already been approached about collecting at a later time and staff will be approached about
late night dumping. Staff will also be approached about noise during shift change and
behavior while smoking. The fence is already be* repaired,
Commissioner Reem questioned if the dumpster could be moved. Ms. Ulshafer stated it was
not possible at this time noting the edsting location near the maintenance pan of the
building,
Commissioner Sander asked if accommodations could be made for smokers so they would
not have to leave the property. Commissioner Reem questioned the responsibility of
Maranatha for their employees and their behavior. Ms. Ulshafer stated she would approach
the Board of Directors about accommodations for the smokers.
Commissioner Reem also suggested that as a good neighbor, Maranatha should phone Mrs.
Meyer to inform her of the meeting and what Maranatha is planning on doing to resolve the

RE: Status of Financial Guarantee for Maranatha Care Center
As of this date, the Financial Guarantee for the above project should not be released. A
brief update of the project is as follows:
- The Public Utility Department reported some time ago that hydrants and/or valves
needed adjustment prior to final approval by the City. It now appears that one of the
hydrant lead valves originally shown (on the approved plan) was never actually
installed. This information has been given to the Maranatha representative, Mr.
Larry Peterson, by both myself and Dave Peterson. I was informed in May of this
year that "they were working on it".
- An asbuilt survey has been forwarded to me. It is in reasonable compliance with the
standards set forth by this office, however, when the additional valve work is
performed, that resulting data will need to be added to the drawing.
Until these items are taken care of properly, I cannot recommend release of the Financial
Guarantee. Please let me know of any questions that you may have.
