Indiana Avenue between Halifax and Twin Lake near 57th Ave.
Dear Mr. Thompson:
Enclosed, please find for your review, an application and plan showing a proposed preliminary plat at
the above location.
The parcel of property is 2.5 acres in size and exists as a single family residential parcel adjacent to a

conduits in place.
Please review and schedule for consideration at the Commission's May 14, 1998 meeting as
appropriate. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me.
Sincerely

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 98007
Applicant: Accessible Homes, Inc. (Doug Peterson)
Location: 5621 Indiana Avenue North
Request: Preliminary Plat
The applicant is seeking preliminary plat approval to subdivide into five lots the property that is
currently addressed as 5621 Indiana Avenue North. The property in question is zoned R-1
(Single Family Residence) and is a 109,132.9 sq. ft. (2.51 acre) parcel of land lying between
Twin Lake and Halifax Avenue North, just southerly of 57th Avenue North. The property is
bounded by Twin Lake on the West; single family homes facing June and Halifax Avenues on
the north; Halifax Avenue on the east; and single family homes facing Indiana and Halifax
Avenues on the south.
The subdivision would create four new lots for development and one lot which would contain an
existing single family home. Fifty feet of new right-of-way will be dedicated to extend a public
street that would connect the existing June and Indiana Avenues and 56 feet of right-of-way will
be dedicated on the east end of the plat for the balance of right-of-way needed for Halifax
Avenue.
The existing legal description is a cumbersome metes and bounds description taking off from the
old Government Lot 2, Section 3, Township 118, Range 21. The proposed legal description
would be Lots 1 through 4, Block 1 and Lot 1, Block 2, Twin Lake Overlook Addition. Lot 1,
Block 2 is the site of the house "addressed 5621 Indiana Avenue, which address will continue to
be used to identify the property. This lot will have 168.11 ft, of frontage along Indiana Avenue
and be 51,563.2 sq. ft. in area. Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, will each be 84 ft. by 116.65 ft. (9,798.6
sq. ft.) and front on Halifax Avenue, Lot 4, Block 1 will be 84.06 ft. wide and 10,209.2 sq. ft. in
area with an average depth of approximately 118.4 ft. while Lot 3, Block 1 will be 84.06 ft. wide
and 9,949.6 sq. ft. in area with an average depth of approximately 121.5 ft. These two lots will
front on the new roadway connecting June and Indiana, which will be known as Indiana Avenue
in this location. The reason Indiana will be used to identify the roadway is to avoid as much
confusion as possible with the development of this new section of road. The existing house in
the plat has an Indiana address as do all of the homes south of it. The two new lots will face
Indiana and should also have Indiana addresses. The existing homes north of the plat all have
June Avenue addresses. The City could unilaterally change the addresses or street names in this
area, but it would cause a number of problems for existing residents. It seems better to sign the
4-30-98
Page 1
street in the location where the change from June Avenue to Indiana Avenue will take place and
not 'require wholesale address and street name changes in this area.
The new portion of Indiana Avenue will have 50 ft. of right-of-way to match with the June
Avenue right-of-way to the north, however, the Indiana Avenue right-of-way south of the plat is
only 33 ft. wide. The surface area of roadways will be a standard width and connect the two
paved roadway surfaces. The area proposed for the new Indiana Avenue right-of-way is already
a 50 ft. wide drainage and utility easement and contains an eight inch sanitary sewer and a water
main which will serve the lots on Indiana Avenue. This plat will dedicate this area for right-of-
way as well. Water main exists in the Halifax Avenue right-of-way and will serve the lots
abutting Halifax. Sanitary sewer will need to be extended from the north to serve these new lots.
The City Engineer is reviewing the plat for roadway and utility extensions. Costs associated.
with the utility and roadway work will be borne by the developer.
All of the proposed lots meet the minimum requirements for single family residential lots. The
preliminary plat shows the 856 ft. contour which is the 100 year flood elevation for Twin Lake.
The preliminary plat also shows the high water mark for Twin Lake, which is at the 855.1 ft.
contour. All building sites must have a finished floor elevation at least one foot above the 100
year flood elevation. That finished floor elevation must, therefore, be at a minimum elevation of
857 ft. The preliminary plat shows 5 ft. wide drainage and utility easements around the interior
and rear property lines and 10 ft. wide drainage and utility easements along roadway right-of-
way in Block 1. No such easements are shown around the existing property in Block 2. Such
easements should be indicated for the existing lot as well.
The preliminary plat also shows the location of various sheds on the site as well as an existing
garage. The three sheds will need to be removed. The easterly two because they will be on a
newly created lot. The one shed on the existing lot will exceed the number of allowable
accessory buildings for a residential lot in the city. This shed, too, should be removed. The
existing garage can remain and will have a setback of 25 ft. from the new Indiana right-of-way.
This alignment is consistent with some of the other accessory buildings located in the immediate
area and we do not believe it is necessary that the garage be removed.
This plat, because it abuts public water, will have to be reviewed and approved by the Shingle
Creek Watershed Management Commission. Application is being made for this review,
however, it is not anticipated that the watershed review will be completed prior to the Planning
Commission's consideration of this matter.
A public hearing has been scheduled for this preliminary plat and notice of the Planning
Commission's consideration has been published in the Brooklyn Center Sun/Post.
RECOMMENDATION
4-30-98
Page 2

MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 28, 1998
TO: Ron Warren, Planning and Zoning Specialist
FROM: Scott Brink, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat Review Comments
Twin Lake Overlook
I have reviewed the above preliminary plat and offer the following comments at this time.
Comments are based upon a copy of the preliminary plat prepared by Hy -Land Surveying, P. A.;
dated April 10, 1998.
1. The plan essentially provides for the division of the existing property into five
parcels. A single parcel containing an existing occupied household would be located
between Twin Lake and a proposed Indiana Avenue extension. Four single family lots
would be created between the new Indiana Avenue and existing Halifax Avenue.
2. The total size of the property is approximately 2.5 acres. Typically, residential
properties of less than five acres do not require review by the Shingle Creek Watershed
Commission. However, because the property borders a protected water (Twin Lake),
review by the watershed is required.
A. The 100 year high water level is 856.1 feet in accordance with the
Shingle Creek Watershed Management Plan. This elevation needs to be further
confirmed with the Commission. It would appear that at least some portion of the
proposed street (Indiana Avenue) would fall within the 100 year flood envelope.
However, this may be acceptable, provided that either no filling within the flood
plain occurs, or any filling that nyy be needed is compensated for as required.
Drainage must also be considered in the he design and elevation of the street,
described further in this memorandum.
B. It is anticipated that further comments will be received from the Shingle
Creek Watershed Commission after their review of the plat at their May
14, 1998 meeting.
2. Sanitary Sewer and Water currently are available to serve all of the proposed
parcels with the exception of the two lots on Halifax Avenue where sanitary sewer would
need to be extended from the north down Halifax Avenue. Sanitary sewer and water are
already available within the proposed Indiana Avenue extension, which currently exists as
a 50 foot wide sewer and water easement. The existing dwelling is served from this
easement.
A. In addition to extension of the sewer on Halifax, the property owner
would also be responsible for all connections to the water and sewer
mains, including wyes and/or services. Hook up charges for sewer and
water would be levied against the four lots between Indiana and Halifax;
the two bordering Indiana at deferred rates with the two bordering Halifax
at current rates.
3. For the two parcels adjoining Halifax Avenue, it is proposed to vacate 10 feet of
the existing right of way. The existing Halifax right-of-way is 76. 5 feet. In comparison
to other City streets, most residential streets have 60 foot right of way widths, and state -
aid collector streets such as Logan Avenue (53rd to 57th) and France Avenue (69th to
73rd) have right of way widths of 66 feet. Halifax at this location is designated as a state -
aid street. Vacation of the westerly 10 feet, and preservation as a utility easement would
therefore appear to be acceptable.
4. The grade and drainage of the proposed Indiana Avenue extension will need to
be considered in relation to the two existing streets on each side. Storm drain facilities in
this area are limited. A 30 foot wide bituminous street with concrete curb and gutter per
City standards would be required.
5. A Subdivision Agreement should be executed which details all of the expectations
regarding design and construction of infrastructure improvements, the proposed vacation,
and utility hook-ups.

SHINGLE CREEK WATERSHED MANAGEMENT COIv SSION
PROJECT REVIEW SC 98-05: Twin Lake Overlook
Owner: Douglas Peterson
REMAX
7240 Brooklyn Boulevard
Brooklyn Center, MN 55429
Purpose: Approval of a Wetland Alteration Plan.
Location: Southwest quadrant of 57`h Avenue N. and Halifax Avenue N., Brooklyn Center.
Exhibits: L Project Review Application submitted by Scott Brink, City of Brooklyn
Center, dated April 24, 1998.
2. Preliminary plat prepared by Hy -Land Surveying, dated April 1, 1998.
FindinjZs: 1. The proposed project is the subdivision of a single 2.5-acre parcel into five
lots. An existing house riparian to Upper Twin Lake will occupy a 1.2-acre
lot while the four newly divided lots will each be 0.2 acres in size. The
remaining area will be set aside for an extension of Indiana Avenue north to
the terminus of June Avenue. This roadway extension will isolate the
existing residence, placing it between Twin Lake and the new Indiana
Avenue and the four new lots between Indiana and Halifax Avenues.
2. A complete project review application was received on April 27, 1998. To
comply with the 60-day review period, the Commission must approve or
deny this project no later than the June 11, 1998 meeting. Sixty days expires
on June 26, 1998. 1-
3. The project site lies adjacent to DNR Protected Water 42P (Twin Eake).
The OHW of Twin Lake is 853.5. This OHW is confined to the lot where
the existing house is and no work is to be performed here. As such, there
will be no impact to the DNR protected water.
4. NWI maps show no jurisdictional wetlands on site.
5. The 100-year flood elevation of Twin Lake is 855.9 (Shingle Creek Twin
Lake XP-SWMM model, 1997). The 100-year floodplain is contained
within the lot occupied by the existing home with exception of a short finger
which extends into the right-of-way for the Indiana Avenue extension.
While not specifically a part of this project, when the road is constructed
approximately 21 cubic yards of floodplain fill will be placed.
6. Proposed building lowest floor elevations have not been proposed. To
satisfy Commission freeboard requirements, a minimum floor elevation of
856.9 must be specified for each of the four new lots.
PROJECT REVIEW SC 98.05: Twin Lake Overlook
7. Per Commission standards, water duality treatment measures are not
required for this small residential development,
8. No Erosion Control Plan has been submitted.
Recommendations: Approval .pending receipt of:
1. An Erosion Control Plan.
2. Documentation specifying minimum floor elevations for Lots 1-4,
Block 1 of 856.9.
3. A revised preliminary plat granting easements over Twin Lake 100-
year floodplain.
Approval will be given upon receipt of above listed items at the office of the Commission's
engineer.

MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF
HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
STUDY SESSION
APRIL 30, 1998
CALL TO ORDER
The Planning Commission met in a study session called to order by Chair Willson at 7:30 p.m.
ROLL CALL
hair Tim Willson, Commissioners Graydon Boeck, Stephen Erdmann, Edward Nelson, and Dianne
Reem were present. Also present were Secretary to the Planning Commission/Planning and Zoning
Specialist Ronald Warren and Planning Commission Recording Secretary Arlene Bergfalk.
Commissioner Rex Newman was excused.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - APRIL 16 1998
There was a motion by Commissioner Boeck, seconded by Commissioner Nelson, to approve the
minutes of the April 16, 1998 meeting as submitted. The motion passed unanimously.
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.
ACCESSIBLE HOMES, INC. (DOUG PETERSON) - APPLICATION NO. 98007
Chair Willson introduced Application No. 98007, a request submitted by Doug Peterson, Accessible
Homes, Inc. for approval of a preliminary plat to subdivide into five lots property currently
addressed 5621 Indiana Avenue North. The application was filed on 04-09-98 and City Council
action should be taken by 06-08-98 (60 days).
Mr. Warren presented the staff reports and used overhead transparencies to show the location of the
property and the Twin Lake Overlook preliminary plat. (See attached Planning Commission
Application Information Sheet dated 04-30-98; memorandum dated 04-28-98 from Scott Brink, City
Engineer; and Shingle Creels Watershed Management Commission Project Review SC 98-05: Twin
Lake Overlook, dated 04-29-98.)
This plan provides for the division of a 2.51 acre parcel of R-1 property into four new lots and one
lot that contains an existing occupied single family home. The existing home, on the proposed
Block 2, Lot 1, located between Twin Lake and a proposed Indiana Avenue extension and the 4
single family lots, on the proposed Block 1, Lots 1-4, are located between the new Indiana Avenue
and existing Halifax Avenue. The existing home is addressed Indiana and Lots 3 and 4 will face the
HE 1 'V
new roadway and will be addressed off Indiana. The road extension connecting June and Indiana
will be identified as Indiana to avoid confusion over development of the new section of road.
Appropriate signage will be provided.
Mr. Warren reviewed the right-of-way dedications, described the standard width new paved
roadway, outlined the existing and extended water mains and sanitary sewer lines, and noted that the
costs for utility extensions and roadway work will be borne by the developer.
Mr. Warren explained that the newly created lots meet minimum requirements for single family
residential lots. Building sites must have a finished floor elevation at least one foot above the 100
year flood elevation (857- refer to Watershed Commission preliminary report 0-29-98). Easements
for drainage and utilities are adequate, however the plat does not show the easements for the existing
lot and should be included. Mr. Warren stated the existing garage can remain, however, three sheds
in various locations must be removed to meet city accessory building ordinance restrictions.
The Shingle Creels Watershed Management Commission provided a preliminary review of the plat
(referenced previously), however, a final review by the Commission is not scheduled until May 14.
Notice of a public hearing on the Application scheduled at this meeting was published in the
Sun/Post. Additional notifications are not required for this application.
Mr. Warren stated the proposed preliminary plat appears to be in order and recommended approval
of the application subject to four conditions outlined in the staff report and a fifth condition added
by Mr. Warren during his presentation related to the need for a subdivision agreement covering the
road improvements and vacation of right of way, and utility hookups.
Chair Willson called for discussion/questions from the Commissioners.
Commissioner Boeck inquired about the easements for the electric transmission towers/lines that
pass through the property. Mr. Warren clarified that easements shown should cover those towers.
Commissioner Boeck also inquired about the setbacks for the existing garage. Mr. Warren explained
that although the setback is 25' vs. the required 35' this is not a major issue and corresponds with
others in the neighborhood. In response to Boeck's questions regarding lot size and the elevation,
Mr. Warren reiterated that all lots meet requirements and that while there is a one -tenth foot
discrepancy regarding the high water mark between the City's information and the Watershed
Commission's information, all finished floor elevations must be at the minimum elevation.
PUBLIC HEARING - APPLICATION NO. 98007 - ACCESSIBLE HOMES INC
There was a motion by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Reem, to open the public
hearing on Application No. 98007 at 7:55 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Doug Peterson, 4174 Douglas Drive, Crystal, MN, stated he had no additions to Mr. Warren's
presentation, however, he was prepared to answer Commissioners' questions. Mr. Peterson
explained that he is the developer of the project and that a builder(s) will construct the homes on the
new lots.
4-30-98 2
With respect to the power line easements, Mr. Warren indicated that he would contact the City
Engineer to determine whether the easements shown are adequate.
Several Commissioners asked what types of homes will be built on the new lots. Mr. Peterson
indicated the homes will be in the $150,000-$200,000 range and will be built to the specifications
of the lot buyers with an emphasis on accessible homes of varying designs, probably without stairs
or basements, and with attached garages.
Commissioner Erdmann noted the Comprehensive Plan recommends more diversity in the city's
housing stock including larger, modern family homes, and suggested that builders consider these lots
for such home construction. Mr. Peterson agreed and indicated the new homes will be tasteful and
fitting in the neighborhood.
No other individuals from the public appeared before the Commission during the public hearing on
Application No. 98007.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING - APPLICATION NO. 98007
There was a motion by Commissioner Boeck, seconded by Commissioner Reem, to close the public
hearing at 8:10 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.
Chair Wilson called for additional questions/discussion from the Commissioners.
In response to Commissioner Boeck's question regarding'public input to this application, Mr. Warren
reiterated that the subdivision ordinance does not require mailing of individual notices to
surrounding properties. He pointed out, however, that this does not preclude any person from
malting comments on the application at this meeting or the Council meeting where final action will
be taken.
In response to Commissioner Nelson's question on the naming of the new roadway, Mr. Warren
reiterated the City's desire to limit confusion and to avoid any changes of current addresses in the
area. He assured that appropriate signage will be installed in proper street positions.
The Commissioners did not interpose any objections to the proposed preliminary plat described in
Application No. 98007, submitted by Accessible Homes, Inc. (Doug Peterson). Mr. Warren
reiterated that the adequacy of easements provided for the electric towers/lines will be verified.
ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 98007 - ACCESSIBLE
HOMES INC - DOUG PETERSON
There was a motion by Commissioner Boeck, seconded by Commissioner Nelson, to recommend
to the Council that it approve Application No. 98007, a request for preliminary plat approval to
subdivide into 5 lots property currently addressed 5671 Indiana Avenue North, Brooklyn Center,
MN, subject to 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.
4-30-98 3
Appropriate drainage and utility easements shall be provided around the proposed
Lot 1, Block 2 in a manner acceptable to the City Engineer, and the required
easements on the other lots be verified; prior to final plat approval.
4. This preliminary plat is subject to the review and approval of the Shingle Creels
Watershed Commission prior to final plat approval by the City.
The applicant shall enter into a subdivision agreement related to design and
construction of infrastructure improvements, the proposed vacation of right of way
and utility hookups prior to final plat approval.
Voting in favor: Chair Willson, Commissioners Boecic, Erdmann, Nelson, and Reem. The motion
passed unanimously.
The Council will consider the recommendation at its Monday, May 11, 1998 meeting. The applicant
must be present. Major changes to the application as reviewed by the Commissioners will require
that the application be returned to the Commission for reconsideration.
OTHER BUSINESS
The next meeting of the Planning Commission is scheduled for Thursday, May 14, 1998. Mr.
Warren briefly reviewed agenda items for that meeting.
Mr. Warren responded to questions regarding various projects in the city including current endeavors
regarding the reinstatement of the Brooklyn Boulevard improvement/streetscape project scheduled
to begin in 2000.
Commissioner Reem inquired about the status of a project presented to the Council earlier this year
that announced placement of flower containers at several Brooklyn Boulevard intersections this
spring. It is believed this plan is a private citizen/business collaboration that does not involve the
City. Mr. Warren indicated he did not have any information on the undertaking.
ADJOURNMENT
There was a motion by Commissioner Boecic, seconded by Commissioner Erdmann, to adjourn the
Planning Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 8:35

5/ 11 /98 -4-
ACCESSIBLE HOMES, INC. (DOUG PETERSON)
Planning and Zoning Specialist Ron Warren reviewed Planning Commission Application No. 98007
submitted by Accessible Homes, Inc. (Doug Peterson). He explained the request is for preliminary
plat approval to subdivide into five lots the property currently addressed as 5621 Indiana Avenue
North. The subdivision would create four new lots for development and one lot which would
contain an existing single family home. The preliminary plat shows the extension of Indiana Avenue
to link to June Avenue. All of the proposed lots meet the minimum requirements for single family
residential lots. Two lots will front on the new roadway connecting June and Indiana Avenues; the
other two lots will front on Halifax Avenue, The Planning Commission recommended approval of
the preliminary plat at its April 30, 1998, meeting.
Councilmember Carmody noted in the City Engineer's report there was mention of a portion of the
roadway being in the flood plain. Mr. Warren responded that a slight portion would be in the 100
year high water level. It was allowable and not uncommon to have a roadway in a flood plain.
Councilmember Hilstrom raised the issue of notification to the property owners of the dead-end
street converting to a through street. Mr. Warren responded the requirement is to publish the public
hearing notice in the local newspaper; however, there is no requirement to individually notify
surrounding property owners.
There was a motion by Councilmember Carmody and seconded by Councilmember Lasman to
approve Planning Commission Application No. 98007 submitted by Accessible Homes, Inc. (Doug
Peterson) requesting preliminary plat approval subject to the following conditions recommended by
the Planning Commission:
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. Appropriate drainage and utility easements shall be provided around the proposed
Lot 1, Block 2 in a manner acceptable to the City Engineer, and the required
easements on the other lots be verified, prior to final plat approval.
4. This preliminary plat is subject to the review and approval of the Shingle Creek
Watershed Commission prior to final plat approval by the City.
5. The applicant shall enter into a subdivision agreement related to design and
construction of infrastructure improvements, the proposed vacation of right of way,
and utility hookups prior to final plat approval.
The motion passed unanimously.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Ronald A. Warren, Planning and Zoning Specialist
DATE: May 29, 1998
SUBJECT: Twin Lake Overlook Addition
You have requested some background information on the recently proposed Twin Lake Overlook
Addition plat that would create four new lots along with an existing lot and extend Indiana
Avenue to connect with June Avenue.
This preliminary plat was submitted by Doug Peterson, who apparently reached a purchase
agreement with the owner of the property addressed as 5621 Indiana Avenue North, Rosemary
Crosby Wiley. This property currently divides June Avenue on the north and Indiana Avenue on
the south.
Attached for your review is a copy of the Planning Commission Information Sheet for
Application No. 98007 with attachments, which was presented to the Planning Commission at
the time this proposal was reviewed. The preliminary plat shows the ability to create four new
lots, two abutting Halifax Avenue North and two abutting an extended Indiana Avenue. It would
also create a lake lot where the existing home is located, which would also abut the extended
Indiana Avenue. In my opinion, this plan creates the maximum number of lots attainable from
the existing 2.51 acre parcel while still meeting all of the requirements in the city's subdivision
and zoning ordinances.
Over the years we have reviewed a number of possible lot splits with the owner of the property
and other interested parties with as many as six potential lots and as few as two potential lots
being looked at. It has always been pointed out to potential subdividers that the question of the
connection of June and Indiana Avenues will have to be addressed when this lot is divided. The
alignment of the two streets in this area and the fact that sewer and water lines connect June and
Indiana through a utility easement in this area make it obvious that the long range intent was to
connect the two streets as well.
Indiana Avenue was dedicated as a 33 ft. wide right-of-way in 1921 The property north of the
Crosby Wiley property, the Edling 4th Addition, was subdivided in 1967 with the last segment of
June Avenue dedicated in that plat at that time. Dale's Twin Lake Addition was approved in
1955 and included a number of lots that were created south of the Crosby Wiley property. RLS
1417 was approved in 1975 and created two lots abutting Halifax and one lot abutting Indiana
Avenue, also south of the Crosby Wiley property.
Michael J. McCauley
Page 2
May 29, 1998
The owner of the property at the time of these subdivisions, Rosemary Crosby Wiley's father,
chose not to participate in the platting processes going on at that time and was not willing to
dedicate the right-of-way necessary to connect the two streets. It certainly was his right as a
property owner to not participate in the dedication or to subdivide his property at the time.
Now that the property is being considered for division, the roadway issue must be addressed.
Either the proposed street connection must be made, or a cul-de-sac would have to be established
if access to abutting properties is to be obtained or, finally, a "hammerhead turn around area"
ending June and Indiana would need to be dedicated provided no access to abutting lots is to be
gained from this area.
The subdivider has proposed to pursue the connection of the two streets, which maximizes the
number of lots that can be created and the minimum requirements of the city ordinances appear
to be met.
I hope this memo addresses your inquiry, if you have further questions, please contact me.
