C44 CITY COUNCIL ACTION Dates of Council Consideration: ti 19 subject to the "A irman Approved _ Denied this day of 19_, with the following amendment: Clei P/I Form No. 18 (over please) Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 81051 Applicant: Blumentals Architecture Location: 6115 Earle Brown Drive Request: Site and Building Plan The applicant requests site and building plan approval to make use of the main barn, hippodrome and cook's shed on the Earle Brown Farm for an office -warehouse use. The property is located on the west side of Earle Brown Drive, across from the Earle Brown Office Tower. The land is zoned I-1 and office -warehouse uses are permitted in that zone. The proposed plan provides 45 parking stalls. Based on 85% warehouse and 15% office, the 21,000 sq. ft. of space requires 39 parking spaces (3,210 sq. ft. < 200 = 16 spaces plus 18,190 : 800 = 23 spaces). One handicapped stall is provided. Setback requirements are met except for the south interior setback. The proposed property line is only 5' from the south wall of the hippodrome. Revision of the plat as comprehended under Application No. 81041 would move this property line at least 10 feet from the existing hippodrome. The southerly access to the site should also be revised since it does not meet the policy that accesses be either directly across or 125' offset from accesses on the side opposite. Apart from these de- ficiencies, the plan meets setback, greenstrip and parking requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed landscape plan calls for 12 Ash trees to be planted along the existing entrance drive to the Farm at approximate 60' intervals (part of the concept for restoring the historic site). Five additional Ash trees are scheduled along the greenstrip area in front of Earle Brown Drive. Six (6) Radiant Crabs are in- dicated in the green areas immediately east of the main barn and hippodrome. Other plantings within green areas east of the building include one (1) Black Hills Spruce, ten (10) Golden Mockorange, and fifteen (15) Japanese Redleaf Bayberry. Sod is indicated in all green areas. Gates are shown at the northerly and southerly entrances to the parking lot. The drainage plan for the site shows all runoff in the parking lot flowing toward a single catch basin on the west side of the lot and from there via storm sewer in a southeasterly direction to the City storm sewer in the street. Berms within the front greenstrip are 2' to 3' in height. The building elevations will remain essentially unchanged apart from replacement of existing windows with nonoperating glass windows. The floor plans show only existing conditions and do not show any proposed tenant areas. It should be noted that if the entire main barn is utilized for office, the parking require- ment would increase from 39 to 52 spaces. This is only seven (7) spaces over the 45 shown on the plan. Since there is ample green area to the east of the building, there seems to be no conflict with regard to parking. The plans are generally in order apart from the location of the south property line and the south entrance shared with the Summit Bank. Approval is, therefore, recommended, 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. 7-30-81 -1- Application No. 81051 continued 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 to assure completion of approved site improvements. 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 extingu- ishing 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. B6-12 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and driving areas. 9. The plan shall be revised prior to consideration by the City Council to provide: 1. A 10' setback from the south wall of the hippodrome to the south property line. 2. The southerly access shall be revised to be directly across from the middle access to the Earle Brown Office Tower. 3. Floor plans and elevations for the Cook Shed. Also, ease side elevations for the barn and hippodrome. 4. Indication of trash storage. 7-30-81 -2- Planning Commission Information Sheet Application Nos. 81041, 81051 Applicant: Summit Mortgage Company/Blumentals Architecture Location: 6100 Summit Drive Request: Site and Building Plan The applicants for these two applications request site and building plan approval to relocate buildings on the Earle Brown (81041) and to develop the horsebarn and hippodrome as a speculative industrial building (81051). These applications were tabled on July 30, 1981 to allow the owner of the property time to react to the recommended conditions of approval. The condition which was of primary concern to the owner relates to revising the preliminary plat submitted under Application No. 81035. This revision was to include the land desig- nated as a historic site by the Minnesota Historical Society in a single parcel which would be given special zoning status to allow development preserving the Farm buildings. The owner has accepted this condition in principle. A revised plat has been prepared to contain the historic site on two parcels rather than one. However, these parcels do not include any land outside the historic site. Therefore, any variances granted for the devel- opment of the two parcels will be related solely to the historic site.and not for neighboring development. One of the proposed par- cels, Tract H, will take in the horsebarn, hippodrome and cook shed and will be 3.28 acres. The other parcel comprising the historic site will include all the other farm buildings and will be 2.69 acres and designated Tract I. The Summit Bank building will not be included in either parcel. Instead, it will be located on a large 10.1 acre tract which will almost surround Tracts H and I. The Planning Commission is referred to the minutes and staff re- ports for the July 30, 1981 meeting for a discussion of the details of'the relocation plan (81041) and the horsebarn/hippodrome site plan (81051). With the revision in the preliminary plat, staff are prepared to recommend approval of Application No. 81041, subject to the fol- lowing conditions: 1. All relocation and/or alteration of existing buildings is subject to review and approval by the Building Official. Voluntary comment from the Minnesota Historical Society shall also be considered. 2. Any grading, drainage, utility and berming plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 3. All buildings over 2,000 sq. ft. in floor area shall be equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system in accordance with NFPA Standards and shall be connected to a central monitoring device in accordance with Chapter 5 of the City Ordinances at the time of occupancy unless specifically waived by the City Council. 4. The preliminary plat approved under Application No. 81035 is revised so that all the Farm buildings to be relocated or preserved are within the Minnesota Historic Site (as defined by the register of 9-10-81 -1- Application Nos.81041 and 81051 continued Minnesota Historic Places) for the Earle Brown Farm and are to be on two parcels with no eXdess land available for future development with hew structures. S. That the City Council acknowledges through this site plan approval a special zoning status for the land within the Minnesota Historic Site (see Condition No. 4) whereby development and use of the existing Earle Brown Farm buildings shall be based on City Council approval only. The grounds required for variances from City ordinance re- quirements shall be City Council acceptance of a development plan and the preservation of the Earle Brown Farm structures. 6. Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance requirements shall apply to all development within the his- toric district unless specifically waived by variance approval. 7. Approval of this application does not constitute approval of any special use permit for potential uses in the historic Earle Brown Farm buildings. Approval of Application No. 81051 is also recommended 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 to assure completion of approved site improvements. 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 accord- ance 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. 9-10-81 -2- Application Nos. 81041 and 81051 continued 8• B-612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and driving areas. 9. The plan shall be revised prior to consideration by the City Council to provide: 1. A 10' setback from the south wall of the hippodrome to the south property line. 2. The southerly access shall be revised to be directly across from the middle access to the Earle Brown Office Tower. 3. Floor plans and elevations for the Cook Shed.
