Consideration: Approved Denied following conditions: —Kathleen Pickering / Applicant's 5ignature Date: i© "6, -e�, PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION this day of Dates of Council Consideration: Approved Denied this amendment: CITY COUNCIL ACTION day of 19 , subject to the Chairman 19 , with the following Cl e rk P/I Form No. 18 (over please) Commissioner Sandstrom stated that he had viewed the Brookdale Christian Center which has block and brick exteriors and felt that it is acceptable in appearance and because of that he supported the proposed amendment. Commissioner Bernards stated that although he considers himself a friend of the church, he feels that it would be a mistake to utilize the concrete block rather than the originally proposed brick. He added that he believed that to allow the block in this case would be contrary to the City's policy of requiring consistent exterior treatments. ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 86023 (Amendment) Following further discussion, there was a motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Ainas to approve the amendment to Planning Commission Application No. 86023 and permit a rock -faced concrete block exterior for the gymnasium at the Brooklyn Center Baptist Church. Voting in favor: Commissioners Malecki, Ainas, and Sandstrom. Voting against: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Nelson, Bernards and Wallerstedt. The motion failed. ACTION RECOMMENDING DENIAL OF APPLICATION NO. 86023 (Amendment) There was a motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Wallerstedt to deny the amendment to Planning Commission Application No. 86023 on the grounds that the rock -faced block exterior on the gymnasium is inconsistent with the City's policy of consistent exterior treatment which has been followed in the vast majority of cases in the City. Commissioner Sandstrom spoke against the motion stating that he felt such a recommendation was inappropriate because a similar treatment had been used at the Brookdale Christian Center. Commissioner Bernards commented that he felt it was appropriate for the Commission to make a subjective judgment because aesthetics were involved. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Nelson, Bernards and Wallerstedt. Voting against: Commissioners Malecki, Ainas, and Sandstrom. The motion passed. The Secretary next reported on a minor addition proposed by the Girl Scouts to their I at 5601 Brooklyn Boulevard. He explained that the Girl Scouts were proposing to fill in the area which had, at one time, served as an entrance to the old library from Northport Drive to the building. He noted certain changes to the building such as providing emergency exits from the community room would have to be provided. He also noted that the staff had commented to the Girl Scouts regarding the need to eliminate the appearance of an entrance to the building at that point where a sidewalk approaches the building. He noted that the Girl Scouts have agreed to eliminate some of the walkway and provide landscaping in that area. He also commented that the Girl Scouts were proposing to use an alucobond material for part of the exterior treatment. The Commission members suggested that the Girl Scouts use glass rather than the alucobond for a consistent appearance to the south wall of the building. Following further discussion, it was the consensus of the Planning Commission that the Girl Scout proposal was a minor addition which did not require the submittal of a formal site and building plan for purposes of a building permit. ADJOURNMENT Following further discussion, there was a motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Ainas to adjourn the meeting of the Planning Commission. The motion passed unanimously. The Planning Commission adjourned at 8:40 p.m. 10-16-86 -3- Chairman
