Mr. Robinson stated this project, Lake Pointe Corporate Center, was being
developed by Woodbridge Properties in cooperation with the City of Fridley-
the Housing & Redevelopment Authority iHRA). The project has been brought
bef ore the public in the past at HRA meetings, and this was basically the
same project which the neighborhood has already seen.
Mr. Robinson stated the issue before the Planning Commission at this pub7ic
hearing was a rezoning to S�Z, redevel`opment district zoning which was created
to facilitate ereative-type master plans such �s th-is. The property was located
just west of Highwa,y 65 and north of�I-694, �nd has been established as a-tax
increment district. The properties being discussed includec� the existing
drive-in property and Lot 5, Block 5, Do.nnay:s takeview Manor Additio�r, owned
by Mr. Gerald Jahnson.
Mr. Robinson stated the basic rezoning proposal was to take the existing
prop�rty which was zoned predominately G 3(the City's highest zoningl, in
addition to some of the property which was zoned R-3 and C-J:, and to take it
to S-2. A portion of the property would rem ain R-l; that portion an the north
cg==#'��the drive-in which was adjacent to the existing sic►gl� family_and a portion
of the Johnson proper.ty west of the proposed right of way line on the preliminary plat
Mr. Robinson stated the HRA was a co-petitioner with Woodbridge Properties
on the rezoning issue. He stated the HRA has endorsed the rezoning, and the
i^, Commissioners had a copy of a memo from the HRA with their recommendations
_ dated Jan. 9, 1986.
Mr. Robinson stated the project was a multi-phase master plan development. It
included seven office buildings, a restaurant, and a hotel with convention
facilities. Also included were low-profile parking ramps located to the
northerly portion and adjacent to the hotel. Total Construction was close to
750,000 sq. ft., not including parking ramps. The plan called for elaborate
landscaping.
Mr. Robinson stated the C-3 zoning was adequate to handle the development;
however, when they looked at the various special use permits which would be
required for building height, liquor license, and parking on R-1, they felt
S-2 zoning would help streamline the whole process. In addition, the S-2 code
included a provision that locked in the master plan to the site so that in the
unlikely event that Woodbridge Properties could not develop, there would have
to be additional hearings before the HRA; Planning Comnission, and City Council
to change the plan.
Mr. Rohinson stated that along with S-2 came parameters for change which were
being spelled out at this time and were stated in the HRA's Jan. 9th memo.
They tried to allow for flexibility to the developer to build the project, but
at the same ti�ey they built in parameters which would protect the single f amilv
neighborhood. Basically, any changes that would encroach on the single family
neighborhood would be deemed as a substantial change and would require additional
^ review by the Planning Commission and City Council.
n
PLANNIPdG CQI�9ISSION MEETIPd�, �ANUAR}�:�22, 1986 � PAGE 3
Mr. Robinson stated Staff was recommending the following stipulations:
1. Changes to the h9aster plan shall be handled as outlined in the
HRA m�no to the Planning Commission dated Jan. 9, 1986.
2. Prior to issuance of the first building permit, the developer
must su6mit for NRA/Staff approval the following comprehensive
plans with phasing deta�ls:
a. storm drainage
6, landsrcaping
c. signage
d. lighting
e. architectura]-r"acade material plan including ramp treatments
3. Rezoning of the Johnson property, Lot 5, Block 5, Donnay's
Lakeview P�anor Addition, is contingent upon site control of the
Johnson property by the HRA, official publication of the ordinance
to be coordinated with acquisition date. .
Mr. Dave Weir, Woodbridge Properties, stated Mr. Robinson had gi�ten an accurate
depiction of the project. He stated he had very little to add. He stated
they have met with the neighbors at other public hearings. Woodbridge Properties
was very supportive of the HRA's request to change the zoning from C-3 to S-2
so the City has control over the development process. They are comfortable
with the proposed rezoning and are eager to be sure they have the right to
develop the property in the manner in which it has been proposed.
Ms. Gabe7 stated the Corrmiission would like to hear from the traffic consultant
associated with Wood6ridge Properties.
Mr. Jim Benshoof, Traffic Engineering Consultant with Benshoof & Assoc., stated
they have conducted a comprehensive traffic analysis of this development over
the last several months. Based on discussions with City Staff and some input
from the neighborhood, they focused their analysis on the following four points:
1. The effects of this development and its traffic, together with
other traffic at the intersection of Highway 65, Old Central,
and West Moore Lake Drive on the east side of the development.
2. The effects at Highway 47 and 57th Ave. intersection
3. The effects on local roadways in the area of 7th St., 57th Ave.,
and other local streets.
4. The site itself, the access and egress for the site and circulation
within the development.
Mr. Benshoof.stated they addressed these points through a comprehensive analysis
that began by forecasting the traffic generated by the development, how many
trips in and out at peak hours on a daily basis, and then assigning that through
the street system according to the routes most attractive to people to travel
to and from the site. They then added that traffic to the existing traffic,
plus traffic incurring in the f uture on these roadways in the area; then
PLAfV�IPdG COMMISSION MEETING, JANOARY 22, 1986 PAGE 4
� . .. . . .
analyrsed the effects in terms o� the capaeity� of tfie road�rays and intersections
to serve the projected volumes, addressed the situation from a safety stand-
point, and, through tFiat analysis, arrived at a set of conclusions. He reviewed
these conclusions ovith the Commissiont
1. There are a number of planned roadway improvement� Zn the area
that will benefit all traffic in the area plus tri;ps to and from
this development--upgrading o�' TH 610 bridge to be completed in
1988, I-694 widening, local improvement of frontage road 6etween
7th St. and 57tfi Ave.
2. The intersection of TH 65, Old Central, and West Moore Lake Drive
presently operates at level service D ipresently at its capacity
limits) during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. The level o� �ervice
would drop slightly by 1988. In their analysis, they paid parti-
cular attention to 1988 and 2000; the reason being that 1988 would
be the first year after completion of the first phase of the office,
plus the restaurant. By the year 2000, the development �ould be
fully in place and occupied.
3. The intersection of Highway 65, Old Central, and VJest P�oore Lake
Qrive will need to be upgraded by the year 2000 regardless of what
happens with this development. They have developed a concept plan
�"'�, to meet these needs and have reviewed that concept plan with City
Staff, staff from State Department of Transportation, the Department
of Natural Resources, and Anoka County. All participants seem to
concur in the need for improvements and that this concept seemed
feasible recognizing that further work needed to 6e performed.
4. The intersection of Highway 47 and 57th Ave. operates at a better
level of service than Highway 65 and Old Central (level service C
during p.m. peak hours) and will provide level D operation with the
1988 projected volumes. By year 2000, the level of ser�vice would
decline and would indicate a need for som.e improvements. Improve-
ments would be of a much lesser nature than at Highw ay 47 and Old
Central.
5. The probable need to have an "all-way" stop control at the inter-
section of 57th Ave. and 7th St. to serve volumes projected at that
intersect�on; otherwise, foresee no other signir"icant effects on
local roadways.
6. The local roadway system within the development will provide a good
framework for meeting the internal traffic needs.
Mr. Kirk Herman, 610 57th Ave., asked how they were going to prevent vehicles
from coming out of the development, heading easterly, and then cutting back on
57th Ave. Could they put in a median so cars coming out could not turn if
�„1 traffic was bogged down to get onto Highway 65.
�
PLANroING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 22, 1986 PAGE 5
Mr. Benshoof stated they are projecting just under 60% of the traffic will
come and go from the east and just over 40% will come and go from the west.
He stated it was important to note that in this development, there was a
choice; and if there should be some extraordinary delays at the Highway 65
intersection, the users would understand that and would find an alternative
route to the west. He did not expect many motorists to do what Mr. Herman
was suggesting, because they feel that (lI with the appropriate improvements,
this intersection will meet traffic needs; and (2) there are better choices
by using the roadway systems in the property to 7th St. and then making other
choices from the 7th St. intersection.
Mr. Benshoof stated there were controls that could be provided should the City
decide to do that. But, those controls would then apply equally to all people
who use it, including residents of that street.
Mr. Weir stated Mr. Herman's comment was a good one to pass on to the City
Engineering staff when they are working on the design phase.
Mr. Ed Littlejohn, 711 58th Ave., stated that in the proposal ou�lined by
Mr. Benshoof, West Moore Lake Drive was an alternative route to Highway 65
when traffic was bogged down at Fiighway 65/O1d Central. Traffic could also
go on �iest Moore Lake Drive, then west on 61st to Univ. Ave. What about more
traffic going by the Fridley High School and Fridley Middle School?
��,
�.� Mr. Oquist stated that for the traffic that wot��d go out on West Moore Lake
Drive, the majority of it would be about 4:30-5:30 when school was out and most
of the children would have �lready gone home.
Mr. Floyd Hesswick, 5665 Quincy St., stated the plan showed only one lane
going south out onto Highway 65 out of the project and two lanes going north.
How would this one lane handle any additional traffic when it does not handle
the current traffic?
Mr. Benshoof stated that right turn would be subject to a yield control.
There will be gaps in the traffic that the right turn movements will be able
to utili�e. One thing to note was that the traffic patterns to and from this
develapment are opposite the pea[c traffic patterns. He would also like to
point out the aspect of the signal phasing change. When the green light was
on the west leg of the intersection, no other traffic would have the green
light. The green light would be timed to stay on as long as there was a constant
demand of traffic coming from the west, so that signal phasing change should
help this situation immensely.
Mr. William Kell, 5675 Jackson St., stated that referring to the westbound
exit ramp off 694 heading north on Highway 65, in order to al3eviate the
problem of peop7e having to cross two lanes of traffic to make a left turn at
Highway 65/Old Central into the development, had any study been made to put in
another exit a short distance up the ramp so that traffic could get over to the
� service road on the east side and then come across on Old Central?
� PLANNIPdG COMP�ISSION MEETING, JANUARY 22, 1986 PA!GE 6
�
Mr, Benshoof stated they had thought of that and had discussed it with Staff
and other ageney staff participating. It was an idea worthy of further
engineering study. It was too early for them to judge whether it was the
6est idea or not.
NJr. Kell asked what possibility there was to having another roetered ramp
from the development entering directly onto t6e west6ound ramp onto 694.
TFii,s would eliminate a-lot of tFie problems of traf�ic going out onto Highway 65
and then onto �fie ramp.
Mr. Benshoof stated that had not been discussed in depth. He thought there
was some reluctance on the part of the State Department of Transportation to
allow an exclusive ramp from a development.
Mr. Richard Glumac, 5725 Quincy St., stated that if he was coming froro West
Moore Lake Drive to the Highway 65/Old Central intersection at around 4:30 p.m.,
Zf tfiere was a lot of traffic backed up, how could he get to that intersection?
1�r. Benshoof stated they have addressed that situation. They would expect a
stop sign to be installed to control that. In both the morning and evening
peak hours, there would be sufficient gaps incoming and outgoing to allow for
a left hand turn from West Moore Lake Drive.
Mr. i�ellan asked about exterior lighting.
Mr. Weir stated the height of the lights was less important than the type of
lighting fixture. The primary type of fixture, particularly in a residential
area, would be a box-type fixture with down ]lghting. The typical height of
the fixture would range f rom 12-16 ft. The distance of the lighting fixtures
from the homes was pretty substantial. He stated they felt lighting was an
extremely important factor in the kind of tone that was set for a neighborhood.
Since the neighborhood was essentially a residential neighborhood, that factor
was extremely important in selecting a fixture. They want to convey to the
public, to traffic on I-694, to th�ir neighbors to the north, and people on
the site that this is a park-like type of environment.
h1r. Betzold asked about signag�; for instance, for the hotel. 4Jould there
be any luminous signs that would be f acing the neighborhood?
Mr. Weir stat� they have not selected the locations on each building for
signage. He stated that purely from a directional standpoint and informational
standpoint, they will be asking for back-lit signs. They are not looking for
the neon type hard-to-look-at sign. It all has to be in keeping with the
lettering style and the size of the signage as it related to the scale of the
building. He was not sure what type of signage the hotel �rould be requesting.
He stated they are very serious about what they are proposin� and the quality
1eve1 of this prop�sal.
r
,� Mr. �[e]lan asked about the storm water drainage system.
PLANNiNG�GOMMISS�ON MEETING, JANUARY 22, 1986 PAGE 7
�
Mr. Gerald Sunde, Civil Engineer working with Woodbridge Properties on matters
relating to platting, drainage, etc., stated the criteria used by the City of
Fridley and the Rice Creek I��atershed District requirements were that they
cannot discharge water at any rates greater than they were prior to any
deve]opment. So, they will be adding some ponding areas on the site to control
the rate of discharge.
Mr. 6Jellan asked about contaminations from the parking lots.
Mr. Sunde stated there will be sedimentation as the water goes into the pond-
ing areas; also tfie Rice Creek 6��atershed District requires they have skimmers
on all the ponds so that any oils are s[cimmed off and cannot get out of the
ponds. He stated the Rice Creek watershed District requirements were very
strict. He stated the State Departme�at'-of Transportation was very interested
and was working with them in terms of the lqcation of the ponding areas.
Ms. Gabel asked about the sanitary sewer system and its capacity.
Mr. Sunde stated the sanitary s�wer system will be piped up from 7th St. They
have done an analysis on the size of the system in the area of the site and are
working on that with the City. The system comes very close to capacity down
by University Ave., and that was being analyzed also.

so as to provide a dense year-round screening between the
development and the single f amily homes to the north.
2. Lighting used for the development shall be shaded or diffused
to reflect light away from the ad�oining property.
Mr. Robinson stated of particular concern to the City was where the driveways
come out from the develo ment and where headlights of cars would point north.
They want to ma[ce sure t�ere i� very good screening in those areas so
the headlights will not intrude on the neighbors to the north.

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. Gabel stated th.e rezoning request, platting request, and special use permit
would all e�o to City Council on February 24.
Mr. Dave 6�eir stated he would like to take this opportunity to express their
appreciation to City Staff.:-Mr. Robinson, and a lot of other staff people who
have worked incredibly hard to be able to meet this timetable. He would like
to make sure those people's efforts were recognized.
4. REALLOCATION OF 7985 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PU�1DS:
Mr. Robinson stated that in 1985, a portion of the City's 1985 CDBG allocation
was designated for Riverview Heights Park Development/Acquisition which was
� slated as a match for possible LAWCON funding. Unfortunately, the City did
not receive any LAWCON funds. It se �ned appropriate that these monies be
� rea7located into the Center City account for NSP work west of University Ave.
This would bring the total 1985 Center City fund to $108.664.
PLANNIPJG COMMISSION MEETING, �ANUARY 22, 1986 PAGE 11
�
M�. Robinson sta�ed the City Council would be holding a public hearing on the
reallocation of these funds on Feb. 3.
Ms. Gabel stated she was very interested in finding out whether any of this
money could be reallocated and used for human service funding.
P1r. Robinson stated he had ca7led the County and the County has a cap of 15%
of CDBG funds that can be used for human services. If all the cities involved
in the county spent their 15%, then the County wouid be at that maximum 15%
for the entire county. However, every city does not s end 15�. It was possible
that if there were percentages f rom other coTrununities ��at were not used for
human services that a portion o� th�s money could 6e reallocated for human services,
Mr. Wellan stated he agreed with h1s. Ga(�el. He would rather see the money go
for something more hurnan service-oriented than to see it spent on utilities.
The Commissioners agreed that since Mr. Mi.nton, Chairperson of the Human
Resources Commission was not at the meeting to give his input, and in order
to allow S�aff time to check with tFie County to see if t�ere were any extra
�ercentages from other communities where more money could be allocated to
urian services, this itern should 6e coniinue�ci until the next meeting.

Mr. Wellan stated the Commissioners had a copy of a memo from h1yra Gibson
dated Jan. 22 reg arding composting. It was the concensus of the Environmental
Quality Commission that they continue to look into composting for the City of
Fridley. There were a lot of pro6lems both tNays, 6ut they felt the net effect
was there to reduce the load to tF�e landfills, resource recovery plans, etc.
Mr. Wellan stated Ms. Gibson had done a fine job in contacting the various
communities throughout the metropolitan area and had included with her memo
a list of composting pros and cons for each communitv.
Mr. Wellan stated monies are available through the State which could be used
for maintenance of the project. The Environmental Quality Commission would
like the Planning Commission to support their recommendation that the City
consider a composting program in the City of Fridley to be located either
near SORT Recycling or some location where it would not be r�ffensive to the
neighbors.
� 1�r. Wellan stated they definitely do not want the SORT Recycling program to
� suffer; in other words, monies taken away from the recycling program to provide
for the composting program. The recycling program, as far as priority, was
much more important than composting. �
