Location: 7100 Brooklyn Boulevard Request: Site and Building Plan/Special Use Permit Location/Use The applicant requests site and building plan and special use permit approval to construct an 8,068 sq. ft. office building at 7100 Brooklyn Boulevard. The land in question is zoned R5 and is bounded on the north by single-family residences, on the east by a single-family residence and a portion of the parking lot for the Boulevard Plaza office condos, on the south by Boulevard Plaza, and on the west by the Edina Realty building at 7100 Brookyn Boulevard (phase one of this development). Office buildings are allowed by special use permit in the R5 zoning district. Access/Parking Access to the proposed building would be from Brooklyn Boulevard through the parking lot of the first phase building (Edina Realty). An access easement to this landlocked parcel was executed with the plat that split the property in 1985. The site plans calls for 41 parking stalls, only two-thirds of a stall more than required for general office use of the building. With this number of stalls, only about 400 sq. ft. of floor area can be devoted to medical occupancy of the building. The parking layout provides a 15' buffer adjacent to the single-family lots and a 5' greenstrip adjacent to the Boulevard Plaza parking lot. Staff recommend that the 15' buffer be continued adjacent to the Boulevard Plaza parking lot so as to prevent an unnecessary jog in the easterly row of parking stalls. Also an additional concrete delineator is needed to delineate the east end of a row of parking stalls north of the building. Landscaping The landscape plan calls for preservation of an existing cedar hedge along the north and east sides of the site. In addition, the plan calls for eight (8) ornamental trees ( Canada Red Cherry or Red Splendor Crab) in the perimeter buffer strips and at the southeast corner of the building. Finally, the plan calls for 60 shrubs adjacent to the building to include both evergreen shrubs and deciduous shrubs. No shade trees are proposed in the phase two area. On the strength of the existing cedar hedge, the proposed plan exceeds the point requirement (62.5 Pts.) of the landscape point system. Grading/Drainage/Utilities The proposed grading plan calls for the parking lot to drain to a single catch basin northeast of the proposed building. The catch basin will be connected by a 12" storm sewer line to a 27" line under the westerly end of the St. Alphonsus Church property. The building is to be served by a 6" water line that traverses this development from Brooklyn Boulevard to a 6" watermain under the west end of the St. Alphonsus Church property. A hydrant is proposed immediately north of the proposed building. The sanitary sewer service will be connected by an existing pressure line to sanitary sewer in Brooklyn Boulevard. The City Engineer, however, is concerned that the depth of the sanitary sewer is insufficient and, in a normal winter, will freeze up. Building The building is to have two entrances, the main one at the northwest corner of the building and another on the south side of the building. The southerly entrance is 7-30-87 -1- Application No. 87015 continued to be accessed by a 5' wide sidewalk along the south side of the building to the parking lot. The main entrance will have a small atrium open to the second floor. The internal layout is speculative at this point, depending on tenant plans. The exterior of the building is to be face brick with a metal mansard around the entire building to match the existing Phase One building. Lighting/Trash Lighting for the site is to be provided by three 30' light standards with 250 watt high pressure sodium (amber) luminaires. This should be more than adequate. No provision has been made on the plan for a trash enclosure. This is a constant concern at commercial sites and we recommend that the applicant be required to address this issue at the Commission's meeting on Thursday. Special Use Standards Office uses are allowed in the R5 zone by special use permit. As such they are subject to the standards contained in section 35-220.2 of the Zoning Ordinances (attached). The applicant has submitted nothing in writing addressing the standards and staff see no conflict with the standards posed by the proposed office use. It should be noted that neighbors in the area have expressed a preference for office use of the property as opposed to the apartment uses permitted by the R5 zoning of the property. Recommendation Based on the review contained above, staff recommend that approval be granted, subject to at least the following 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. 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. 4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical equipment shall be appropriately screened from view. 5. 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 accordance with Chapter 5 of the City Ordinances. 6. An underground irrigation system shall be installed in all landscaped areas to facilitate site maintenance. 7. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances. 8. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and driving areas. 7-30-87 -2- Application No. 87015 continued 9. The applicant shall submit an as -built survey of the property improvements and utility service lines, prior to release of the performance guarantee. 10. The property owner shall enter into an easement and an agreement for maintenance and inspection of utility and storm drainage systems prior to the issuance of permits. 11. Fire hydrants shall be located on the site as per the order of the Fire Marshal. 12. The special use permit is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances, and regulations and any violation thereof may be grounds for revocation. 13. The plans shall be modified prior to consideration by the City Council to provide full delineation of parking stalls and elimination of the jog in the parking row along the east side of the property. 7-30-87 -3- 1 jHINGLE_ EAST :=��. 7 1 I ; I %% QUAIL 1\A 1�ICIRCLE�� \ �% J* S 1 FIA I"r roll W 0 D NIL LOW LANE ��c.
