Also present were Secretary to the Planning Commission/Planning and Zoning Specialist Ronald Warren, and Planning Commission Recording Secretary Rebecca Crass. Commissioner Rahn was absent and unexcused. APPROVAL OF MINUTES — JANUARY 30, 2003 There was a motion by Commissioner Newman, seconded by Commissioner Erdmann, to approve the minutes of the January 30, 2003 meeting as submitted. The motion passed. Commissioners Boeck and Whitehead abstained, as they were not at the meeting. CHAIR'S EXPLANATION Chair Willson explained the Planning Commission's role as 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. 2003-003 ESM LIMITED, LLC Chair Willson introduced Application No. 2003-003, a request from ESM Limited, LLC, for Preliminary Plat approval to combine two parcels of land at the southeast comer of 60th Avenue North and Brooklyn Boulevard into a single lot for future office development. Mr. Warren presented the staff report using overhead transparencies for Application No. 2003- 003 which consists of a preliminary plat that will combine two parcels of land addressed as 5960 and 5964 Brooklyn Boulevard. Once combined, the total area of the proposed lot would be 36,485 sq. ft. (.8376 acres) and have a lot width of approximately 162 ft. The applicant proposes to develop the new lot with a one-story office building and accessory parking lot. (See Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 2003-003 dated 5-1-03 and the Director of Public Works' memo dated 4-21-03, attached.) Mr. Warren pointed out that the City's Zoning Ordinance requires C-1 zoned property along major thoroughfares have a minimum of 150 ft. of frontage (at the setback line) and have a minimum area of one acre. The site falls slightly short of the minimum one -acre area requirement. There is no other undeveloped C-1 zoned land that can be attached to this property to meet minimum requirements; therefore, it is recommended that the requirement for a one acre 5-1-03 Page 1 lot be waived since this is a reasonable use of the land. He added that access to the site would only be from 60th Avenue North. Commissioners Reem and Erdmann inquired about the continuation of the sidewalk along Beard Avenue North south of 60th Avenue. Mr. Warren responded that unless a sidewalk was requested by the neighborhood, the city was not requiring a sidewalk as part of this plan. Commissioner Boeck asked that the wording on Recommendation No. 4 be changed to state " Approval of the preliminary plat acknowledges this .8376 acre site as being a buildable lot for C-1 purposes and waives the one acre requirement for development". Mr. Warren responded that the recommendations would be amended to reflect the change. PUBLIC HEARING — APPLICATION NO. 2003-003 There was a motion by Commissioner Boeck, seconded by Commissioner Whitehead, to open the public hearing on Application No. 2003-003, at 8:00 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.

Mr. Striefel explained that his company hopes to have building plans ready for approval in about a month, however, they are waiting for their current building located on Lilac Drive to be sold before moving ahead with site and building plan approval. No other persons from the public appeared before the Commission during the public hearing on Application No. 2003-003. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING There was a motion by Commissioner Newman, seconded by Commissioner Whitehead, to close the public hearing on Application No. 2003-003, at 8:04 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.

APPLICATION NO 2003-004 ATS & R (ON BEHALF OF OSSEO SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 279 Chair Willson introduced Application No. 2003-004, a request from ATS & R on behalf of Osseo School District No. 279, for a Special Use Permit and Site and Building Plan approval for a 10,740 sq. ft. building addition to the north and south sides of Garden City Elementary School and to create and reconfigure play areas at the school and the adjoining Garden City Park.

Mr. Warren indicated that a formal agreement would be developed but it is not part of this approval. 5-1-03 Page 3 Commissioner Whitehead inquired about the status of the fence along Brooklyn Boulevard. Mr. Warren explained that existing fencing along Brooklyn Boulevard would remain as would fencing along the south and east sides of the site and pointed out where new fencing would be placed on the site along 65t` Avenue North.

Chair Willson called for comments from the public. Mr. Rob Binder, the landscape architect from ATS & R, introduced himself. He explained that this development was part of a referendum passed several years ago as part of a large package to remodel and improve schools in the Osseo School District. Commissioner Boeck inquired as to when the project would begin. Mr. Binder responded that the bulk of new construction would begin in the summer of 2004 with interior remodeling taking place as early as the summer of 2003. Commissioner Reem commented that she liked the landscape plan and was glad the building would continue to be used as a school. Commissioner Boeck asked to have a Condition No. 13 added to the comments and recommendations from the City Engineer's report. No other person from the public appeared before the Commission during the public hearing on Application No. 2003-004. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING There was a motion by Commissioner Newman, seconded by Commissioner Whitehead, to close the public hearing on Application No. 2003-004 at 8:56 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.

REQUEST FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT AND SITE AND BUILDING PLAN APPROVAL FOR A BUILDING ADDITION TO GARDEN CITY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND TO CREATE AND RECONFIGURE PLAY AREAS AT THE SCHOOL AND THE ADJOINING GARDEN CITY PARK. THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS APPLICATION AT ITS MAY 1, 2003, MEETING. Mr. Warren outlined the materials regarding Planning Commission Application No. 2003-004 submitted by ATS and R (on behalf of Osseo School District No. 279) requesting for special use permit and site and building plan approval for a building addition to Garden City Elementary School and to create and reconfigure play areas at the school and the adjoining Garden City Park. Mr. Warren pointed out that the Park and Recreation Commission reviewed this matter and had recommended approval with respect to the park facilities at its April 15, 2003, meeting. The Planning Commission recommended approval of Planning Commission Application No. 2003- 004 subject to the following conditions: 1. The building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits. 05/12/03 -7- Application Filed on 4-10-03 City Council Action Should Be Taken By 6-9-03 (60 Days) Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 2003-003 Applicant: ESM Limited, LLC Location: 5960 and 5964 Brooklyn Boulevard Request: Preliminary Plat The applicant, ESM Limited, LLC, is seeking preliminary plat approval to combine two parcels of land at the southeast corner of 60th Avenue North and Brooklyn Boulevard into a single lot for future office development. The properties under consideration are 5960 and 5964 Brooklyn Boulevard, which are adjacent to one another and are located on the east side of Brooklyn Boulevard south of 60th Avenue North. The properties are in the C-1 (Service/Office) zoning district and are bounded on the north by 60th Avenue with the Evans Nordby funeral home on the opposite side of the street; on the east by Beard Avenue North with single family homes on the opposite side of the street; on the south by C-1 zoned land containing an existing two story office building; and on the west by Brooklyn Boulevard with R-1 zoned property containing single family homes and the intersection of Admiral Lane and Brooklyn Boulevard on the opposite side of the street. The properties in question are existing lots that have lengthy metes and bounds descriptions as part of Lot 40, Auditor's Subdivision No. 216. Both lots are approximately 81 ft. wide by 228 ft. deep. Once combined, the total area of the proposed lot would be 36,485 sq. ft. (.8376 acres) and have a lot width of approximately 162 ft. The proposed legal description is Lot 1, Block 1, Steen Addition. The southerly lot (5960 Brooklyn Boulevard) currently contains a single-family dwelling and attached garage, which will be removed. The applicant's ultimate proposal is to develop the new lot with a proposed one-story office building, which will be subject to a site and building plan process to be submitted later for Planning Commission review and City Council approval. The preliminary plat shows a proposed location for the one-story office building and accessory parking lot, which appears to be a feasible use of the property. It should be noted that the City's Zoning Ordinance requires C-1 zoned lots along major thoroughfares, such as Brooklyn Boulevard, to have a minimum of 150 ft. of frontage (at the setback line) and have a minimum area of one acre. The proposed combination meets the minimum frontage requirement but falls slightly short of the minimum one -acre area requirement. There is no other undeveloped C-1 zoned land that can be attached to this property to meet the minimum one -acre requirement. The property immediately to the south of this site is approximately the same size as the proposed combination under this application. It is 5-1-03 Page 1 recommended that the one -acre minimum requirement for a C-1 zoned lot be waived in this case on the basis that this proposal is a reasonable use of the land. To not waive this requirement, would mean that the land could not be developed under its current zoning. Because the property in question is less than five acres in area, no review by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission is required with respect to this platting. The Director of Public Works/City Engineer has reviewed the preliminary plat submitted and his written comments are attached for the Commission's review. He notes that the preliminary plat has been forwarded to Hennepin County for their review and we are waiting any pertinent comments. He also notes that there is a sidewalk easement along Brooklyn Boulevard, which should be confirmed so that it does extend a minimum of one foot east of the existing sidewalk. He also notes that Beard Avenue North should be dedicated as right of way and a five foot wide drainage and utility easement should be added along the south property line. The site is currently served by all utilities, which should accommodate the proposed office development. As indicated previously, a site and building plan application will be submitted for the final design and layout of the proposed office building. The proposed location of the building does appear to meet all setback and parking requirements. No access to the proposed site will be gained via Brooklyn Boulevard and an existing curb cut will be eliminated. Access to the site will only be from 60`h Avenue North, none will be granted from Beard Avenue North. A public hearing has been scheduled for the preliminary plat application and notice of the Planning Commission's consideration has been published in the Brooklyn Center Sun/Post. REC',OMMF.NDATTON The proposed preliminary plat appears to be in order and approval of this 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. 3. The existing house and attached garage at 5960 Brooklyn Boulevard shall be removed from the premises. 4. Approval of the preliminary plat acknowledges this .8376 acre site as being a conforming lot which is buildable for C-1 development purposes. 5. The applicant shall verify the location of the existing sidewalk easement prior to final plat approval. 5-1-03 Page 2 6. The final plat shall show the appropriate right of way dedication for Beard Avenue North. 7. A five foot wide drainage and utility easement shall be indicated along the south property line prior to final plat approval. Building permits for construction of any buildings comprehended shall not be issued until the final plat has been approved by the City Council and filed with Hennepin County. 5-1-03 Page 3 MEMORANDUM DATE: April 21, 2003 TO: Ron Warren, Planning and Zoning Specialist FROM: Todd Blomstrom, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat Review Steen Addition City of BROOKLYN CENTER The Public Works Department reviewed the preliminary plat for Steen Addition, located at the southeast corner of Brooklyn Blvd and 60th Avenue North. The plat dated April 10, 2003 was prepared by Schoell & Madson, Inc. The following comments are provided for your consideration. 1. The applicant has not provided a detailed site plan at this time. Engineering review comments regarding site grading, drainage, driveway access and utilities will be provided when the applicant submits a site plan for review. 2. The preliminary plat was forwarded to Hennepin County for review. Hennepin County will determine if additional right-of-way dedication is required along Brooklyn Blvd (County Road 152). Any comments received from the County will be forwarded to the applicant. 3. The applicant shall confirm that the existing sidewalk easement extends from the west property line to a minimum on 1-foot east of the east sidewalk edge prior to submitting the final plat if Hennepin County does not require additional right-of-way dedication along County Road 152. 4. A note shall be added to the plat indicating that right-of-way along Beard Avenue North will be dedicated to the public. A dimension should be added along to the south property line to define the right-of-way width. It is recommended that a 5-ft wide drainage and utility easement be added along the south property line.

The Plat Review Committee reviewed the above plat at its regular meeting on April 29, 2003. The following comments are provided for your consideration. • The plat is acceptable to Hennepin County Transportation as submitted. • The access relocation to 60a' Avenue North is also acceptable to and strongly supported by Hennepin County. Upon redevelopment, the existing driveway onto CSAH 152 should be removed and restored with curb, gutter, and sidewalk, to eliminate any pedestrian tripping hazard and preclude attempted turns into the vacated driveway. • All proposed future construction within county right of way requires an approved Hennepin County permit prior to beginning construction. This includes, but is not limited to access, drainage and utility construction, trail development, and landscaping. Contact our Permits Section at 763-745-7601 for the appropriate permit forms.
