LOT SPLIT RE4IIEST. L.S.. #94-02, BY MURPIiY WAREHOIISE COMPANY: To split property into two separate parcels generally • located at 48th Avenue and Main Street. The.legal.� descriptions for the two lots are as follows: � Parcel A: The south 1025.22 feet of Lot 2, Auditor's Subdivision No. 79, as measured at a right angle to and parallel with the south line of said Lot 2 and which lies easterly of a line parallel with and distant 511.00 feet easterly of, as measured at a right angle to and parallel with the Burlington Northern Railroad Company (formerly Northern Pacific Railway Company) main track centerline, except the east 33.00 feet of said Lot 2. , Parcel B: That part of Lot 2, Auditor's Subdi�vision N.o. 79, which lies north of the south 1025.22 f�et of said Lot 2, as measured at a right angie to and parallel with the south line o.f said Lot 2 and which lies easterly of a line parallel with and distant 511.00 feet easterly of, as measured at a right.a�ngle to and parallel with tiie Burlington Northern Railroad Company (formerly Northern Pacific Railway Company) PLANNING COMMIBSION MEETING. JIILY 13, 1994 PAGE 2 main track centerline, except the east 33.00 feet of said Lflt 2. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner for the request is Murphy Warehouse Company. Burlington Northern Railroad (BNR) is the owner. The petitioner is represented by Opus Corporation. The ,.}�, lot split request is for the property qenerally located between ��:� 47th and 49th Avenues and between Main Street and the BNR yards. The property is vacant and is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial. The . property to the east is all single family residential. Ms. McPherson stated the total parcel measures 19.72 acres. The petitioner is proposed to purchase 15.5 acres with the intent to •eonstruct a 265,000 square foot warehouse. The lot split as proposed would create two parcels. One is the 15.5 acre parcel to the south, and the remnant piece is 4.2 acres. �he lot widths are 1318.93 and 293.7 feet respectively., Both lots exceed the. minimum lot area requirement of 1.5 acres and the minimum requirement of�150 feet. . There is an active Amoco fuel line along the southerly property line and there is an MWCC sanitary sewer interceptor along the west property line. Ms. McPherson stated Anoka County has reviewed the proposed plans . as the property abuts Main Street which is a County road. Ano.ka .^ County has requested a 67-foot drainage and uti,lity easement be dedicated along the west right-of-way lir�e or east property line of the subject parcel to be used for stormwater ponding:�purposes in conjuncti.on with the reconstruction of Main Stre.et. • Ms. MaPherson stated the petitioner is intending to construct a 265,000 square foot warehouse on the property. The building measures 602 feet by 442 feet and will be 33 feet.tall. It is to be constructed of precast concrete panels. There will be a railroad spur line along the west wa11 of the building. There will be loading docks on both the north and south sides of.the building. There will also be entry drives on the north and south ends of the building. The spur line, as proposed, crosses the 4.22 acre parcel to the north. An access easement should be recorded over the spur line to allow access to the Murphy property. � Ms. McPherson stated approximately 30 trucks per day are� anticipated by the petitioner. Hours of operation are to be from 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with a possibility of a second shift. There are a total of 28 docks, 14 on each the north and south ;� sides. As proposed, the building meets the minimum distan�e requirements for setbacks and lot coverage of .the M-2 distra.ct, including the 100 foot setback from the easterly property l�.ne which is across from the R-1 di"strict. � � ��_ � PLANNING COMMI88ION MEETING, JIILY 13. 1994 PAGE 3 Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner requires only 33 parking spaces for the employees proposed to be at the warehouse. The plan provides an additional 106 spaces as proof of parking. The building is designed to be sub-divided in the future into smaller spaces should the petitioner choose to relocate to another facility. The petitioner did provide two re-use scenarios to allow for increased manufacturing and warehouse space and office -�` space and estimated the possible number of parking on the site. Ms. McPherson stated, in terms of drainage, stormwater drainage currently flows from northeast to southwest toward the BNR yards. The grading plan submitted by the petitioner reverses this flow from the northwest to the southeast discharging the water into the upgraded storm sewer system in Main Street. The petitioner will be allowed to release storm water either at the predeveloped flow rate or 5 cubic feet per second, whichever is less. Anoka County is installing a stormwater pipe.because the existing system is not adequate to handle the existing flows along main street. Should the plan proposed by Anoka County fail to be realized, ther.e two options for the petitioner to discharge the stormwater to the west: . . 1. Stormwater would be piped to the existing BNR stormwater� ,� system located with.in the railyard. 2. The petitioner would install a new pipe along the west property line south to a municipal interceptor which then flows west to the Mississippi River. Ms. McPherson stated the parcel to north will also be allowed to discharge water into Main Street at 5 cubic feet per second or at the predeveloped rate, whichever is less. The petitioner . submitted the calculations with the proposed grading and drainage plan. Scott Erickson has put together a two-page letter to Opus Corporation outlining 14 items which are required as part of his review of the gr�ding and drainage plan. The stipulation should be added to the recommendation that the petitioner is to comply with the items in this letter dated Jul�r 13, 1994. Ms. McPherson stated the park dedication fee is required at the commercial rate of $.023 cents per square foot. The pe�titioner also submitted a landscape glan. The petitioner.propose� to place the majority of the landscape materials along Main�Street to buffer the residential property to the east and also to break up the mass of the building. The ordinance requires 265 trees •° (265,00o square feet divided by 1,000). The petitioner at•lthis ' time is proposing to plant 165 trees so, therefore, they are ,100 trees short. The petitioner could increase the size of the�trees provided which would reduce the number of trees required by 25�. � In that instance, only an additional 35 trees would then be _� �.- - _-�b PLANNINa COMMISSION MEETING, JIILY 13. 1994 PAGE 4 ,� required. Staff has stipulated that the petitioner is to revise th� plan to either comply with the landscape ordinance or apply for a variance for relief from the landscape requirements. Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends approval of the request by the Planning Commission to the City Council with the following stipulations: 1. The petitioner shall dedicate a 67-foot drainage and utility easement along the east property line. � 2. An access easement shall be recorded over the spur line on the vacant parcel. 3. The owner shall notify the Community Development ' Department if use of the building char�ges from a warehouse to a manufacturing facility causing the need for additional parking. 4. The petitioner shall pay a.park dedication fee.of $15,529.14 at the time of building�permit issuance. 5. The petitioner shall submit a revised plan in compliance with the landscape ordinance requirements ^. prior to issuance of a building permit: 6. The petitioner shall comply with the items in``Mr. Erickson's letter dated July 13, 1994. Mr. Newman asked which parcel would be Parcel B. 14fs. McPherson stated Parcel B would be the 4.22 acre.parcel that is the remnan� as a result of the lot split. This is the parcel to the north. Mr. Newman asked if these parcels would be separate. Ms. McPherson stated she thought.this was BNR's intent. Mr. Sielaff asked, if deliveries and products are going to be leaving by rail, what is the need for the trucks. � . Ms.. Dacy stated.there is a variety of clients in the building. Some will be receiving and/or shipping.by truck. Not all, material will be using rails. ;° Mr. Kondrick referred to the letter from Scott Erickson an� asked if the representatives for the petitioner from Opus had also received a copy of this lette�. �"'\ f'-'� :_��-. - �m �, PLANNINa COMMI88ION MEETINa, JIILY 13, 1994 PAG$ 5 Ms. McPherson stated they had reaeived a copy this evening. Staff just received the letter in late afternoon. The points outlined in the letter are points which have been previously discussed with the petitioner. . Ms. Foster, Director of Real Estate for Opus Corporation, stated she and Mr. Wacholz, Project Manager for the Construction Div'ision of Opus Corporation, have been working with Murphy on this project. She has been working with them on the land acquisition and land planning for the site. They are in qeneral agreement with the staff report with the exception of-the landscape requirement. With respect to that requirement, she provided background on how they approached the City's landscaping ordinance. As they understand it, there are two alternative • computations that can be used within the landscape ordinance - one according to the perimeter of the site and the other, and the greater requirement, is according to the square footage of the. building. By using the perimeter calculation, they would be required to provide 68 trees. In looking at the magnitude of the site and project and the impartance of the Main Street frontage, it was�pretty apparent that this would not be adequate landscaping for the site. On this particular site, they are dealing with a very large building, a large amount of.paved area, a rail track along the west property line where clearly landscaping would serve no benefit. In addition, they �lso have to incorporate a large ponding area on the site in order retain water before it goes into the County system.. The alternative requirement of 265 trees they felt was not a reasonable requirement. They asked their landscape architect to prepare what they felt to be the best landscaping plan�for the site.given those constraints keeping in mind the most important was the Main Street frontage. She felt they have provided a very adequate landscape plan for the site. They have provided a number of evergreen trees to provide screening of the truck dock'areas as well as to provide screening to neighbors across the street to help break up the length of the building. While t�iey could provide 100 additional trees on the site, she is not convinced that this is a reasonable requirement given this particular project and the scale of the project. They are between the two standards. The square foot calculation is 265, the perimeter calculation is 68, and they are proposing 165. The plan proposed provides an improvement compared to other projects alonc� Main Street and will provide a very well landscaped project to the neighbors across the street. That is the only issue they,have to discuss. They just received the engineer's letter and, based on a quick review, she thought they were okay with those item� at this point. After they have a chance to review these items� in more, there may need to be further discussions. � Ms. Foster stated, with respect to the operation of the building, not all of the materials that go into the warehouse-will be - -- -_,,� PLANNING COMMI88ION MEETING. JIILY 13, 1994 PAGE 6 coming by rail. Some will come in by rail and go out by truck, some will come in by truck and go out by truck. It will depend on the particular mix of product i.n the building. Given the type of business, this will vary. . Mr. Kondrick asked if there were plans to berm on the Main Street side of the building. Mr. Wacholz stated there are berms at the corners to screen the dock areas. With the ponding in the front to retain the water, there was not enough -room to.berm the front of the building. Ms. Foster stated they tried to develop a good landscape statement with the front. They plan to plant 165 trees so technically they are 100 short of the maximum interpretation of the ordinance but 100 over the minimuni interpretation. With a building of this size, the number.can get out of sync with.what is expected for a smaller building. Mr. Kondricl� stated he had no problem with the landscape plan.as provided. Perhaps using larger trees would seem like a good compromise. Mr. Sielaff asked if there was a minimum requirement for trees in the code. Nis.•McPherson.stated the minimum size is 1.5�inches for• ornamental trees, 2.5 inches for street trees, and 6 feet for conifers. The trees proposed are the minimum requi.red by code. Mr. Newman asked if this required a variance. Ms. Dacy stated this is part of the code. A variance request would go to the Appeals Commission. She would suggest�staff speak with petitioner about a larger tree standard. The petitioner is correct that the formula for a large building.will require a lot of trees. This issue can be worked out with staff. Mr. Oquist asked staff to speak to the different interpretations and how the� are applied. Ms. Dacy stated the intent of the ordinance is basically�the �igger the building then there should then be a large number trees to soften the impact. This is a very large building. While she agrees with the petitioners intent to put most of landscaping on the north, east and west sides, there is ,± additional room for additional trees. ', ` of the Ms. McPherson stated the calculation is that there shall be.one tree for every 50 feet of lot lina perimeter or one tree for 1.,000 square feet of building area, whichever is greater. � � � • ,--� PLANNING COMMI88ION MEETING, JIILY 13, 1994 PAGE 7 Mr. Sielaff asked if there w�s a difference in the number required when using larger trees as compared to smaller trees. Ms. Dacy stated yes. The total number of required.overstory trees may be reduced by 1/2.tree for each deciduous tree measuring 3 inches or more in diameter or each coniferous tree ,� '`-. measuring 8 feet or over. Mr. Rondrick stated he would like to see more big trees which could be put in the landscape plan. Ms. Foster stated they would be open to that if there are areas where the trees should be larger. They do not want to provide an excessive amount of landscaping which doesn'� serve a real benefit for the project and is an expense for Murphy Warehouse Company. Ms. Dacy stated it is up to the petitioner as to whether they want to apply for a varian�e. Staff is comfortable with the lot split request. Staff would like to resolve the landscaping issue. If they want to proceed with the lot split request, they can proceed with a variance at a later time. �, Mr. Oquist stated they can indicate in their recommendation for the lot split to work out the landscape plan. �, Mr. Newman asked if the parcel to the south was occupied. Ms. McPherson stated she believed so. Mr. Oquist asked if the railroad spur went through the building. Ms. Foster stated yes. Mr. Sielaff asked who is the owner of the property. Ms. Foster stated BPTR is the current owner. Murphy Warehouse Company will purchase the site from BNR and Murphy will own the building. Murphy Warehouse Company.is a public warehousing � company and provides warehouse.space for other companies. They will not subdivide the space. Companies that contract with them are provided a space in the building and need to know tYiey can move their product in and out of the building when.they �equire. It is not like a multi-tenant building with separate spaces. Murphy's headquarters and main facility is in Minneapolis. They have a facility in Roseville and lease space in Fridley. �his will allow them to own and have product in their own buiLding. Mr. Oquist asked how many people would work there. ` _�-. � �m PLANNING COMMISSION ME�TING. JIILY 13. 1994 PAG$ 8 Ms. Foster stated approximately 20-25 employees would be at the site. They do have some seasonal tenants so there are times when there are more people in the building. At this time they have one shift, but there could potentially be two shifts. Ms. Dacy stated staff have worked with Murphy over the last few months. They have done a lot of work to meet the ordinance requirements, especially in regards to the loading docks. Mr. Kondrick asked what specific plans does Anoka County have for the upgrading of Main Street. Ms. Dacy stated the County is in the planning process right now. Drainage is one issue and the bikeway/walkway is another issue. It is mostly for the storna sewer but she was not sure if it was to be widened. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to recommend approval of the lot split request, L.S. �94-02, by Murphy Warehouse.Company to split property into two separate parcels generally located at 48th Avenue and Main Street. The legal descriptions for the two lots are as follows: Parcel A: The south 1025.22 feet of Lat 2, Auditor's Subdivisian No. 79, as measured at a right angle to and parallel with the south line of said Lot 2 and which lies easterly of a line parallel with and distant 511.00 feet easter.ly of, as measured at a right angle to and parallel with the Burlington Northern Railroad Company (formerly Northern Pacific Railway Company) main track centerline, except the east 33.00 feet of said Lot 2; and Parcel B: That part of Lot 2, Auditor's Subdivision No. 79,. which lies north of the south 1025.22 feet of said Lot 2, as measured at a right angle to and parallel with the south line of said Lot 2 and which lies easterly of a line parallel with and distant 511.00 feet easterly of, as measured at a right angle to and parallel with the Burlington Northern Railroad Company (formerly Northern Pacific Railway Company) main track centerline, except the east 33.00 feet of said Lot 2; with the following stipulations: 1. 2.

The petitioner shall comply with the items in Mr. Erickson's letter dated July 13, 1994. Mr. Newman stated, in the landscape plan, they tried to do a nice job but six-foot trees in front of a 33-foot building does not screen. Going to a larger tree would add to the sareening and reduce the number of trees required. He encouraged them to work with staff to see if they could work something out. He felt the unique hardship would be the rail line to the rear of the property. This does appear to be a very well thought out plan.

RE4IIEST• To allow the expansion of a motel in an R-3, General Multiple Family Dwelling district at 6881 Highway 65 N.E. ANALY8I3• Located on the property is a 14 unit motel, motel office, and living quarters. The motel office and living quarters are located on the southerly portion of the building. The motel is located along the east property line in a north/south orientation. The office and living quarters are perpendicular t�o the motel. The petitioner is proposing to construct a 36 ft. by 48 ft. two-story addition perpendicular to the motel at its north end. The east wall of the addition abuts the west face of the existing building. The addition and original structures combined represent 20% lot coverage. The property is zoned R-3, General Multiple Family Dwelling. Motels are permitted as a special use. The petitioner is requesting the special use permit at this time in order to allow expansion of the existing motel faciiity. History The Sunliner Motel, as it was once known, was built in 196.0. At that same time, the City approved both the buildirig permit�'for the structure and dwelling unit/office combination. The C%ty also approved a sign permit which allowed a 12' x 8' free- standing sign adjacent to the Highway 65 right-of-way. In May af 1965, the motel was severely damaged by a tornado and was � Staff Report SP #94-08, by Warren Paulson Page 2 reconstructed in July of 1966. In 1968, the owners of the motel asked the City Council for consideration of a privacy fence as opposed to the landscaped separation that was required as a stipulation of the original approval. In July of 1968, the City _. Council approved a six foot high redwood fence to be constructed ��v� along the eastern property line and that fence was to also extend along the northern edge of the property line to a point equal to the front of the motel complex. The motel was re-roofed in 1973 and in October of 1982, a variance request was received by the City in which the petitioner asked to minimize the setback distance on the southwest corner of the complex to add a vestibule entry, and also to add a 26' x 10' deck. The variance requests were approved, and in March of 1983, the vestibule and deck permits were issued and the constructed was completed. In March of 1987, a sign permit was granted allowing 84 square feet for the free-standing sign. The square foot dimension was • to replace the original 96 square foot that later evolved into a 150 foot square foot free-standing sign. The free-standing sign was once again visited in 1992 when a variance was requested by the petitioner t.o allow reconstruction of the 84 square foot sign. A stipulation was placed on the sign at that time, that �`� the sign face area would not exceed 80 square feet. That variance was approved. This 1994 request for a special use permit asks to expand an existing facil�ty by placing a 36' x 48', two-story addition with a walk-out foundation adjacent to the original structure. Variances The petitioner asked for consideration of four variances and a special use permit to allow expansion of the motel facility within the R-3 district. The Appeals Commission heard the request for four variances at their regularly scheduled meeting on July 12, 1994. Those variances included: l. To reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 10 feet. [This is an existing condition, not a�esult of the new structure.] '�, . 2. To reduce the side corner setback from 35 feet to 30.33 feet. [This variance request is related to the new construction and proximity to the property line '�, adjacent to Highway 65.] � 3. To reduce the rear yard setback from 40 feet to 19.44 ^ feet. [Abutting Rice Creek.] � Staff Report SP #94-08, by Warren Paulson Page 3 4. To improve vehicle turning movements by reducing the parking setback from 20 feet to 18 feet. The Appeals Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the variance requests. Staff's recommendation to the City -� Council would be to concur with the Appeals Commission action. � Staff has worked with the developer to determine what the aesthetic elements of this addition will include. The developer indicated that the addition will be two-story from the existing grade with a lower walk-out level beneath the two-story addition. The total number of motel units to be added is nine. There will be three units per floor, and the stairway to the lower walk-out level and upper level will be on the exterior of the building. The developer indicated that the walk-out level evolved from poor soil conditions on the north of the existing motel facility. A determination was made from a feasibility standpoint that it would be more practical to compact the soil and build a foundation rather than replacing all the soil required for the original two-story design. Transportation Issues The transportation issues related to this proposal include the on-site parking for the facility, on-street traffic issues including the desire to have a stop sign at 68th Avenue from the parking lot, and also the request by residents to have a controlled intersection with a traffic signal at the intersection of 68th Avenue and Highway 65. In regards to parking, staff has evaluated that the code requirements for parking would require one parking stall per unit in the motel facility. The total number of motel units is 23, and the office would be considered 24. At one stall per unit plus one additional stall for ever� four units, the requirement is 30 parking stalls for this facility. The developer's proposal exceed this code requirement by five stalls. The expansion of the.parking lot relates to the turning movements within the parking area. City code requires a driving aisle width�'�f 25 feet for two-way traffic�. There is sufficient room for a standard stall depth, 25 feet of driving aisle and parallel parking along the curb. There has been some concern about the proximity of the driveway to the intersection of 68th Avenue and Highway 65. Although this an existing driveway situation and the additional units will not ^ compound the problem, with the exception of a few additional daily trips, the concern could be addressed by controlling the Staff Report SP #94-08, by Warren Paulson Page 4 traffic onto 68th Avenue with a stop sign installed by the motel as part of their parking improvements. That stop sign would face internally to the parking lot and would require that cars stop before entering 68th Avenue. _�--f. In regards to the controlled intersection, stop lights at State -Y`� highways are installed in accordance with a manual that the State uses to evaluate need for controlled intersections. There are 11 - 13 different areas that are evaluated as part of a traffic study for an intersection such as this. It is our Public Works Director's opinion that this intersection would not meet the warrants necessary for installation of a traffic signal. RECOMMENDATION/STIPIILATIONS: Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request in order to expand the existing motel facility in an R-3 district, the following stipulations be recommended: l. A stop sign shall be installed by the developer at the point where the parking lot drive enters onto 68th Avenue. The sign would be the cost and responsibility of the motel. ,� 2. The addition shall be built with an architectural character consistent with the character of the existing motel compl.ex. 3. No windows shall be placed on the second story of the east side of the building addition. 4. The parking lot shall be re-striped to identify the 35 parking spaces indicated by the petitioner's site plan. 5. The new parking surface shall include curb and gutter around the expanded parking perimeter. The curb and gutter is to be concrete and of a staff-approved design. 6. Erosion control fencing shall be installed during ' construction to assure no construction-related soil is carried into Rice Creek or adjacent landscape. 7. Rip-rap erosion control shall be installed at the b'ase of the roof drain and at the point where the parking lot swale empties surface water onto the landscaped portion of�the site. 8.

The Planning Commission tabled the request at its June 29, 1994 meeting and recommended that the City Council determine whether or not an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) would�be reguired as a result of a petition rece.ived from the Friends of Innsbruck Park. The City Council at its July 11, 1994 meeting considered the question to require an EAW. The request was tabled by the City Council to allow staff time to research a number of items requested by the City Council at its July 11, 1994 meeting. On July 25, 1994, the City Council determined that an EAW would not be required and that it would not autharize any further ecological or environmental studies. The Friends of Innsbruck Park has requested that the City � consider acquiring the 3.5 acres to be developed in the southeast corner of the property and add it to the City's open space system. The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the request at its August 1, 1994 meeting. The Commission stated that they would accept the,3.5 acres to be developed into the park system if it were donated or if a municipal funding source,�other than the park fund, was used. If it did not become part of the park system, the Commission stated that it could be developed as proposed with careful scrutiny for compliance with.the stipulations.

In addition, the trees along the side corner lot line within the __---. 17.5 foot setback should be preserved to provide screening for = the dwellings located on the east side of Arthur Street which face the development. **Stipulation** **Stipulation** (June 29, 1994) STAFF IIPDATE The dwellinq on Lot 1, Hlock 1, sha�l face Royal oak Court. The trees along the side lot line of Lot 1, Block 1, within the 17.5 foot setback shall be preserved. The petitioner has submitted language amending the stipulation to read the "sianificant trees along the side lot line shall be preserved" and has suggested a minimum caliper of 8 inches. The landscape ordinance defines large trees �s 4 inches in caliper.or greater. Staff recommends that a compromise caliper of 6 inches '"�� be used. Verifying surveys are required to insure compliance with the setback requirements. *�Stipulation** Verifying surveys shall be submitted prior to the capping of the foundation. The total acreage of the subject parcel is 34.1 acres. 3.32 acres will be used for single family lots. Approximately .4.4 acres will be used for the proposed road and its right of way. The remaining 30.34 acres will remain under the ownership of the Archdiocese. Subdivision Section 211.07 of the City Code sets forth the design requirements for all plats. These include dedication fox parks, street pattern and construction, and minimum improvement�. Park Dedication The ordinance requires either a dedication of land (100) of the area to be platted or a cash equivalent ($1500.00 per lot) �for public uses such as parks, playgrounds, etc. The City has typically required cash payment into the Park Dedication Fund. r� The Park and Recreation Commission typically reviews all park ^ Staff Report PS #94-05, Keith Eibensteiner for Biltmore Construction Page 4 dedications for each plat request. The Commission will meet on July 11, 1994 to discuss this request. e... **Stipulation** The petitioner shall pay a park dedication _ fee of $1,500.00 per lot (9 x$1,500.00 = $13,500.00) at the time of buildinq permit issuance. Road Desian The petitioner is proposing to construct a 32 foot wide cul-de- sac with a length of 278.15 feet and a diameter of .80 feet to serve the 7 lots. This is within the maximum 600 feet and meets the requirement of an 80 foot diameter. The pe.titioner will be dedicating a 50 foot right of way and 100 foot diameter, which meets the requirements of the ordinance. The road rises 4 feet over a distance of 330 feet for a slope of 1.2%, well within the 6% recommended. The two lots on the west will have direct access to Matterhorn Drive. ��. Stormwater Pond The petitioner is proposing to construct a sedimentation pond along the north edge of the street. This will accept stormwater from two catchbasins located 100 feet from the intersection of the cul-de-sac with Arthur Street. The sedimentation basin will allow sediment and other pollutants to."settle out" prior to stormwater entering the wetland to the north. The Gity typically requires detention basins which are dry as opposed to sedimentation ponds which retain some water. The petitioner has not sized the pond to detain the required amount of water due to the increase in runoff as a result of increased impervious surface. The stormwater pond will need to be maintained by the Archdiocese. The Archdiocese will need to execute and record a stormwater pond maintenance agreement. An easement shall be ded�icated over the pond preserving it for stormwater purposes. The pond shall not be located on the residential lot 7.� **Stipulation** The stormwater pond shall be sized to meet. the detention requirements of�the City. **Stipulation** The Archdiocese shall esecute and recosd a stormwater pond maintenance aqreement � �,,;� providing for ongoing maintenance of the � ' pond. Staff Report PS #94-05, Keith Eibensteiner for Biltmore Construction Page 5 **Stipulation** Utilities A drainaqe easement shall be dedicated over the stormwater pond. The petitioner has submitted a preliminary utility plan. Two watermains are located on the subject parcel, one 10-14" main located within the 25 foot utility easement, the other 6" main located in an east-west location approximately midpoint on the parcel. The 6 inch main connects and is perpendicular to the larger main (see utility map). The petitioner will install water and sewer lines within the proposed right of way to service the 7 lots. The petitioner proposes to "loop" the watermain within the right of way to eliminate a dead-end line. The Engineering Department has stated that this is not acceptable. Connection to either of the watermains located on the parcel will be required. If connection to the 6" main occurs, a 25�foot easement will be required to be dedicated. A 25 foot easement should also be dedicated over the connection line. The easement may be 20 feet between Lots 6 and 7. *�Stipulation** The petitioner shall connect the watermain (June 29, 1994) with either the 10-14�� or 6�� mains located on the property. **Stipulation** The petitioner shall dedicate a 25 foot (June 29, 1994) easement over tbe water connection line. If the 6�� main is used, a 25 foot easement shall also be dedicated. STAFF QPDATE (Auqust 2, 1994) The petitioner investigated the two alternatives proposed by the Engineering Department for looping the watermain (see memo dated July 21, 1994). Due to the impact to the trees on-site, the Engineering Department will accept the looping of the watermain within the right-of-way as proposed by the petitioner. The above two stipulations should be deleted. A new stipulation is proposed: � **Stipulation** The desiqn details of the 6 inch wa*eratain loop as proposed by the petitioner shall be approved by the Public Aorks Director. This option is acceptable only if the trees� indicated in the Royal Oaks memo dated �uly 21, 1994 are not removed as a result of any other construction. , � /`'1 �� Staff Report PS #94-05, Keith Eibensteiner for Biltmore Construction Page 6 � � The two lots on Matterhorn will require that both sewer and water services be installed from the mains to the property lines. **Stipulation** The petitioner shall install water and sewer services to the lots on Matterhorn and shall pay the appropriate connection fees. The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission will require payment of Sewer Availability Charges (SAC). The current fee is $800.00 per owner occupied unit. **Stipulation** SAC fees shall be paid at the time of buildinq permit issuance. The Engineering Department has reviewed the preliminary drawings for grading, utilities, and road construction. Their requirements are outlined in Scott Erickson's memo dated June 22, 1994. **Stipulation** The petitioner shall comply with the comments listed in Scott Erickson�s memo dated June 16, 1994. Grading and DrainaQe The petitioner has submitted a preliminary grading and drainage plan for the entire plat. Individual grading plans with erosion control measures clearly defined shall.�be submitted for each lot prior to the issuance of a building permit. Staff will review the plans for compliance with Chapter 208, "Erosion Control" of the City Code, and for compliance with the stipulations outlined in the Section "Wetlands" of the staff report for wetland preservation. **Stipulation** (June 29, 1994) STAFF IIPDATE Individual qradinq and erosion control plans shall be submitted for eaah lot prior to the issuance of a buildinq permit. The petitioner submitted language to include the words "tree preservation" in the stipulation. Staff concurs with the requested change. Wetlands Two Type 5 wetlands are located on the property in the southeast corner. The wetlands were delineated as required by the O-4 Staff Report PS #94-05, Keith Eibensteiner for Biltmore Construction Page 7 Overlay Ordinance and State Statute. Staff and the City's consultant reviewed the delineation with a site visit on June 20, 1994. The consultant confirmed the delineation as being accurate. The consultant stated that the delineation was "conservative"; the delineation line was well outside the edge of the wetland. It was observed that improper fill of the wetland to the east has occurred. Barrels, sand, construction debris, grass clippings, etc., have been dumped in the wetland. These items should be removed and the wetland restored. **Stipulation** The improper fill in the wetland shall be removed and the wetland restored. The petitioner is not proposing to drain or fill the wetlands. Lots 5, 6, and 7, Block 1�ill have portions of wetlands on them. In reviewing the plat, staff has the following recommended stipulations to preserve and protect the wetlands on these lots: **Stipulation** Restrictive covenants shall be recorded aqainst Lots 5, 6, and 7, Block 1 preventinq any filling of wetlands including brush, qrass clippinqs, trash, etc. Accessory structures and footinqs for decks, additions, gazebos, etc. shall not be located in the wetlands as delineated on the plat. **Stipulation** No grading shall occur below the elevation (June 29, 1994j 948 on Lots 5 and 6, Block 1. No qrading shall occur below the elevation of 953 on 7, Block 1. STAFF IIPDATE of Lot The petitioner submitted language to add a minimum floor opening elevation for each of the three dwellings. Staff concurs with the request change. **Stipulation�* Trees The dwellinqs on Lots 5, 6, and 7, Block 1 shall be located a maximum 10 feet from the lot line opposite the wetland. As was stated earlier, a number of mature trees exist in each part of the proposed plat. A number of trees will need to be removed in order to construct the proposed road. The developer � C"`, '^ Staff Report PS #94-05, Keith Eibensteiner for Biltmore Construction Page 8 � has clearly marked the construction limits on the proposed grading plan. The construction limits follow the right of way line and include the sedimentation pond on the north. Section 211.08.03 of the City Code requires a developer to plant two trees per lot for each residential subdivision. **Stipulation** Two street trees per lot shall be planted by the petitioner. The trees remaining on the lots should not be clear cut. The grading plan submitted for each individual lot should inventory all trees 4" in caliper or greater on the lot and indicate.which trees are to be removed for construction of the dwelling. This shall be done prior to the issuance of a building permit. **3tipulation** The qradinq plans for each lot shall indicate (June 29, 1994) all trees 4�� or qreater in caliper located on � the lot and shall indicate which trees are to be removed to allow construction of the dwellinq. STAFF IIPDATE The petition�r submitted the following revised language for this stipulation: "The individual grading, erosion cqntrol, and tr�e pr�eservation plan for each lgt shall clearly show: A. The grading limits for the construction of the new home. B. The location of warning signage (tree protection ribbon) that will be placed around the perimeter of the construction limits protecting all significant trees outside the construction limits. C. The location of a�y significant trees to be saved inside the � construction limits. Any significant trees to be saved shall have fencing around it extended out the dripiine." Staff concurs with the requested language with the following addition: "Work shall nc�t commence until City staff has field inspected items B and C of the stipulation." **Stipulation** Th8 lots sball not be clear cut. Staff Report PS #94-05, Keith Eibensteiner for Biltmore Construction Page 9 STAFF IIPDATE The petitioner has requested that the stipulation be amended to — read: "The lots shall not be clear cut of significant trees." a_ Staff concurs with the recommended change as it will allow the clearing of the understory. Environmental Assessment Worksheet The neighborhood has expressed concerns regarding the environmental impact of the proposed development (see letter from Friends of Innsbruck Park). They have informed staff that they will petition for an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) to be completed. If it is determined that an EAW is required, the rules state that no action can be taken on the project by the City. The Planning Commission should table action, including conducting the public hearing, on the request until the EAW is complete. Staff will provide a verbal update regarding the EAW process at the meeting. � The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the request at its ^ August 1, 1994 meeting. Commissioner Young suggested that a buffer of existing vegetation be maintained along the south property line to protect the adjacent properties from the development. Staff suggests the following stipulation to address this comment: **Stipulation** A 15 foot ��no cut�� easement shall be established alonq the south property line of Lots 1- 5, Block 1, Totino-Grace Addition. The easement shall prohibit the cuttinq of trees or clearing of understory except for the removal of dead or diseased trees. RECOMMENDATION/STIPIILATIONS: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request to the City Council with the following stipulations: � l. A restrictive covenant shall be recorded against Lot l and 2, Block 2 preventing the removal of vegetation except for - dead/diseased trees. 2. outlot A shall be named as a"lot" in the plat. 3. The dwelling on Lot 1, Block l, shall face Royal Oak Court. r""� Staff Report PS #94-05, Keith Eibensteiner for Biltmore Construction Page 10 4.

FROM: Mike Black and Keith Eibensteiner, Biltmore Constructron DATE: July 21, 1994 SUBJ: Totino Grace Addition -- Water main loop M'�-�-C 1/�'• �' �- �-lo' This memo is intended to document the existing conditions found on Monday, July 18, 1994, when investigating a water main loop from Royal Oak Court in a Northwesterly direc;iion tuwards the Totino �race High School. '�he approximare distance of looping the water main towards the high school is 450 feet or about 85 feet longer than looping the line back out to Arthur Street in Roya1 Court. Our major concerns with looping the water main in the northwesterly direction are: 1. The impact on significant trees. Our inspection revealed that eight large trees would be unpacted. They . are: 25 ft. high spruce, 10 inch aspen, 2 ft. oak, 4-6 inch oak, 2 ft. oak, 3.5 ft. oak, 3 ft. oak and 2 ft. oak. In addition, the water main construction would re�uire the removal of a11 ground vegetation, smaller trees and plant life and would have the appearance of a walkway to and from the school yard. 2. The close pro�cimity of the water main extention to the e�sting building. We are concerned for the possible under- mining of the building foundation when extending the pipe around the southwest comer of the building. 3. A twenty-five foot utility easement between lots 6& 7 will reduce the buildable area on each lot. We have agreed with the Planning Commission to construct the homes on Lots 6& 7 as far back as possible from the wetlands on each lot. A water utility easement is contrary to that objective. In summary, it is our belief that looping the. water main in Royal Oak Court back out to Arthur Street is a more viable alternative. It would be environmenta.11y sensitive to the site's natural conditions and it will function and serve the purpose of a"looped system'° that the City has requested. � 4196 Lexin�,rton Avenue • Shoreview, Minnesota 55126 •(612) 483-5518 • Fax (612) 483-5642 - _ - ' TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Engineering ISewer �Ya�f�r 'Patks �� ISireets ��Main;enance ME MORANDUM ' Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director Michele McPherson, Planning Assistant John G.

SE/JGF:cz � 0 r � � J � DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Community Development Department �I�ANNING �TVISION City of Fridley July 29, 1994 Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director Scott Hickok, Planning Coordinator Michele McPherson, Planning Assistant July 26th Meeting with John Haluska and Lisa Kugl.er of the Trust for Public Land I met with John Haluska representing Friends of Innsbruck Park and Lisa Kugler of the Trust for Public Land on July 26, 1994. The three of us first walked through Innsbruck Park and then the proposed development site on the Totino-G°race property. We then returned to Mr. Haluska's house at which point Ms. Kugler asked the foliowing questions: l. 2. 3. 4. 5. How does the City fund park acquisitions and park maintenance? What is the amount of the capital improvement budget? What types, if any, of long-term acquisition projects for park land by the City? Current amounts of undeveloped and park land (she asked this question to determine the possibility�of a referendum). How does the budget process work, and what is the timing for adding projects to the capital improvement budget? 6. What is the timeline for the current plat process? It is my interpretation that the purpose of the question's was to determine possible municipal funding sources for payback'•to the Trust for Public Land. Mr. Haluska requested information regarding the Trust for Public Land's application process so that a formal proposal could be submitted to the Trust for Public Land by the Friends of Innsbruck Park. Ms. Kugler indicated that the Trust for Public Land typically does not work actively on , projects unless a positive funding source has been identified for payback of Trust for Public Land funds. Mr. Haluska indicated that he would like to pursue a Legislative Commission on � July 29, 1994 Haluska/Trust for Public Land Meeting Page 2 Minnesota Resources grant application as well as possible special assessments in the neighborhood as a source of funding. However, work has not commenced regarding either of those two options. I spoke with Ms. Kugler via telephone on Thursday, July 28, 1994 and posed the question, "Has the Trust for Public Land ever been a permanent land owner?" Ms. Kugler's response was an emphatic, -� "Never". Mr. Haluska also discussed the possibility of the Friends of Innsbruck Park pursuing legal action against Biltmore Construc�ion under Chapter 116 of the State Statute. He indicated that he was not interested in pursuing litigation against the City regarding the proposed development. It appears that they have had discussions with the Center for Environmental Advocacy regarding this option. Mr. Haluska is awaiting return of two attorneys before pursuing legal action. The attorneys should return August 5, 1994. This is for your information. If you have any further questions regarding this item, please contact me. MM/dn �� M-94-408 � i� � TO: File DAT$: July 26, 1994 FROM: Siah St. Clair Rr�rARnIHG: Grace Hiqh School - Innsbruck "Royal Oak Court Development Visited on July 7, 94 11:00 A.M. -------------------------------------------------------------- This area is typical of the north Innsbruck area in its Iand form -� and biotic community. This area is glacial pot hole terrain with - gravel soil and several feet of water at the bottom of the pot hol.es forming open water ponds. The vegetation is old white oak forest with a diverse collection of shrub and forb understory. The ground is covered mostly with old leaves, open in places, densely tangled with under-growth in others. The topography is constantly changing over the range of 25 feet in difference from the highest point to the lowest. Many of the impressive larg� white oaks are between 24 and 30 or more inches in diameter, making them probably between one hundred and two hundred years old. The water .in the westerly ponds is very clear with very little algae growth. It is easy to see to the bottom of the ponds. There is some evidence of people using the site, with well worn, trails into some of the homes, some yard debris, left over beer party materials (cans, bags, etc.) and occasional golf balls, tennis balls, and assorted litter. The easterly la`rge wetland has construction materials dumped relatively recently (last 5+ years) and a large apron of brownish orange silt is growing (42'x20') nearby on the north end of the pond with little growing in it. This grows right into the water. This site is very similar to the Innsbruck.Natural History area to the east of this site (separated by Arthur Street). Mammals and birds would use both areas for their survival needs, for example food and shelter. Evidence of raccoon and deer and prior sightings by myself in this area of red fox and great horned owls, suggest this since territories of these animals are normally larger then the combined acreage of these two sites combined. �'`� Development of this proposed site from its present natural state will eliminate its use as habitat by numerous song birds, birds of prey, small and medium mammals and other wildiife. It will also remove many beautiful and impressive old growth white oaks, diverse understory vegetation and significant green space. While a reduction of green space would obviously occur, it is doubtful that removal of this space as natural habitat will act as a threshold causing the collapse of any ecosystem functioning in the Innsbrnck Natural History Park. � �, The following observations were made by myseif on this date, July 25, at the site at approximately 11:00 A.M.

The City Council at the July 11, 1994 meeting asked staff to research a number of items regarding the property proposed to be subdivided into seven single family lots in the southeast.corner of the Totino-Grace property. To follow are responses to each of the items requested by the City Council. 1. The Citp Council wanted information on the Charles Cook project and wanted to know whp it was not approved. In 1986, Charles Cook submitted a preliminary plat request, P.S. #86-06, Valley Oaks, to create seven lots on 3.25 acres just north of the Islamic Center and south of the Moore Lake Hills subdivision which contains Hillcrest Drive. The Planning Commission on December 10, 1986 recommended approval to the City Council with 11 stipulations. On January 5, 1987, the City Council conducted a public hearing. At issue during the public hearing was stipulation #2 which stated that the developer must pay for all assessments for public improvements necessitated by the plat. Storm water improvements were required to handle not only the runoff from the subject development, but also runoff from adjacent properties. The petitioner objected to the requirement to pay for all of the potential assessments. The City Council closed the public hearing the same evening:. There was no further action on the plat by the City Council. Although there is no letter in the file from the petitioner withdrawing the application, it is assumed that the requested stipulation was not agreeable to him and he did not pursue final action on the plat. (See City Council minutes from 1987) - Grace �igh School Addition Property July 22, 1994 Page 2 2. How larqe ig North Inusbruck Nature Center and when was it acquired? The City of Fridley Parks and Recreation guide states that the _, park area is 24.0 acres. The parcel was dedicated as a park as -: part of a 1971 agreement with Acres Inc., who requested R-3 � zoning for the property. The City eventually received a deed in 1976 from Darrel Farr Corporation, developer of the Innsbruck Townhomes. 3. Outline the oriqinal land area for Pecks Aoods. Staff obtained a copy of a 1938 aerial from Anoka County. The aerial is not reproducible in an 8 1/2" x 11" format, but it will be presented.at the City Council meeting. �Based on the 1938 aerial,, there is a large wooded area which extends from Rice Creek Road on the�north to 49th Avenue and Highl.and Lake to the south in Golumbia Heights, into New Brighton on.the east, and . approximately along the Matterhorn Dri�ze alignment on the west. Staff�estimates that the total acreage of this �aoaded area is 640 acres. Based on testimony from Mr. Haluska and other long-time /�, residents, this area seems to match what is known as Pecks Woods. 4. When was.Arthur Street developed, and was it part of Pecks Woods? Arthur Street, adjacent to the Totino-Grace property, was constructed in 1972. The street is within the area known as Pecks Woods. The proposed Valley oaks plat discussed above in #1 is also part of the wooded area identified in the 1938 aerial. 5. Aas there any prior coasideration of any or all of Pecks Aoods as a City park? The Mayor reported that the City Council informally discussed preserving Pecks Woods, north of I-694 in 1964. The size and cost of acquiring the property was too prohibitive at the time. A portion of the Islands of Peace park was acquireci the same year. As is explained later in this memo, the Innsbruck Nature Center was dedicated in 1971, preserving 24 acres of the•,original Pecks Woods. • 6. How larqe is the Sprinqbrook Nature Center? The Parks and Recreation guide states that the Springbrook Nature Center is 127 acres. . � /"`, Grace High School Addition Property July 22, 1994 Page 3 7. Haw did the Citp acquire Springbrook Nature Center, and when was it dedicated for open space? The City acquired the land for the Nature Center in 1971. In ___, 1974, the City Council designated it as a Nature Center (see _ � "Nature Center History"). 8. How unique is the property proposed to be platted in terms of communities of ferns, woodland plants, flora, and fauna? Staff retained Ron Peterson of Peterson Environmental Inc. to address the environmental issues raised by this question. Peterson's report is attached. No unique species of plants or animals was found. 9. On the Wal-Mart site, were aertain trees marked for savinq, and did the developer follow-through in preserving those trees? Siah St. Clair and I worked extensively with the Wal-Mart contractors about preserving the oak trees on the property. The stipulation as part of the plat approval was to preserve as many !`�, large oak trees as possible. The grading plans submitted to the City Council during plat consideration did indicate removal of the vegetation on the site except for the wetland areas that were proposed to be al'tered in conformance with the wetland alterat.ion permit approved by the Army Corps of Engineers and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Because of the extensive amount of grading occurred, the ability to save a number of trees was compromised; however, the existing trees now on the Wal-Mart site were as a result of insistence by City staff to create appropriate retaining walls and to minimize intrusion into the drip-line areas of the oak trees. At the time of site grading, it was not known that Slumberland was going to construct a building on the vacant lot. Four trees were preserved on that property, however, staff acknowledged that it may not be possible to preserve all of these trees depending on the development plan of this particul�r lot. Fortunately after working with Slumberland, we �vere able to preserve three of the four trees. l0. Is money available from a third party organization?• How committed is the third-party organization to provide.money for the acquisition of the Totino-Grace property? Included in the�information for the City Council is a copy,o� the brochure entitled The Trust for.Public Land. Michele McPherson contact�d the staff inember from The Trust on July 12, 1994. In � essence, The Trust purchases properties for preservation and then transfers the property to a long-term owner. The Trust is an � �, � Grace High School Addition Property July 22, 1994 Page 4 interim financing vehicle only. The staff inember from The Trust states that no funds have been committed to the purchase of the 3.5 acres of the Totino-Grace property because they have their own review process which takes approximately four weeks. Michele was invited to a meeting initiated by Mr. Haluska with The Trust staff person, Lisa Kugler, on July 26, 1994 at 1:00 p.m. at Mr. Haluska's home (see memo dated July 14, 1994 from Michele McPherson). We will update the City Council regarding the outcome of that meeting. 11. How much of the City•s park property is set aside for passive recreation, and how does it compare with the other li cities? Of the 490 acres of City parks, 340.3 acres can be considered as "open space", or areas where a significant majority of the park is•left in its natural state. The acreage includes Springbrook Nature Center, Innsbruck Nature Center, West Moore Lake Dunes, Riverview Heights, and the two County operated but City owned parks, Locke Lake and Isiands of Peace. Staff surveyed other cities (see attached chart). The cities did not have a break- down of passive, active, or open space acreage readily available. Fridley ranks 6th out of the il cities in terms of the total area of municipal parks versus'total area in the City. 12. Where does the City of Fridley stand in relation to National standards for open space reserved for passive recreation? The Natural Recreation and Park Association does not have a recommended standard for open space or "conservancy" parks (see attached matrix from NRPA). Fridley exceeds the NRPA standards, however, for the amount of park acreage. The standards require 180 - 310 acres and the City owns 490 acres. 13. How much is the Innsbruck Nature Center used? Without conducting a detailed survey, it is difficult for staff to quantify the activity at the park. No statistical information has.been found in the park files. 14. How much maintenance requirements would there be if�'the Totino-Grace property is turned into a park or passive recreation area? John Flora prepared a memorandum dated July 19, 1994 which• estimates an annual cost to the Public Works Department for� maintaining the additional park area of approximately $1,800. Grace High School Addition Property July 22, 1994 Page 5 15. Can the City require an EAW? The City Attorney contacted the attorney for the Environmental Quality Board and has prepared another opinion which is included for the City Council's review. The City cannot require an EAW. -_ Herrick believes that the plat stipulations are adequate to `" address the environmental issues such as wetland and tree preservation (Herrick has spoken with Mr. Haluska about his opinion regarding the EAW). RECOMMENDATION It is clear, based on the advice of the City.Attorney and the EQB attorney, that an EAW cannot be required for this project. Unless the City Council chooses to acquire the subject property, staff recommends that the City Council refer the plat to the Planning Commission for action at its August 10, 1994 meeting.

QUESTION #7 PETERSON ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING, INC. -- ' July 21, 1994 Ms. Barbara Dacy Planning Coordinaxor City of Fridley 6431 University Avenue NE Fridley, Minnesota 55432 Subject: Totino Grace Addition PEC Project No. 94046 Dear Barbara: � As requested, Peterson Environmentail Consulting Inc. (PEC) has completed its field review of the na.tural resource features loca.ted within the southeast portion of the Totino Grace Addition in � Fridley,lVfinnesota. This portion of the proposed addition is 3.5 acres in size and is located in the Nl/2 of the NW1/4 of the NEl/4, Sec. 24, T30N, R24W. The project site abuts Arthur Road to the east, a residential area to the south and Totino Grace H'igh School facilities to the north and west. The overall objectives of our review were to detem�ine: (1) the accuracy of the wetland � delineation performed on the site, (2) the diversity of native plant species present on the site, (3) whether the species observed were indicative of a relatively undisti,rubed, remnant native plant community, (3) the likelihood that threa.tened, endangered or special concem plant species might be present on the site, (4) the overall wildlife habitat value of the project site and (5) the extent to which the project site is ecologically linked to Innsbruck Natiue Center to the east. We are aware that the City is considering an EAW thus our analysis was done at a level of detail sufficient for an EAW. Our methodology and results are described below. Methodology In reviewing the wetiand delinea.tion for the site, we utilized the Federal Manual for ldenti ,+ing and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands (Interagency Task Force on VVetland 'Delineation 1989)(hereafter referred to as the "1989 Federal Manual"). The use of this manual is mandated by the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA). �, In order to evalua.te the botanical character of the site, a floristic mea.nder search of the entire ^ parcel was conducted on 7uly 15, 1994 by PEC's botanist, Mr. Glenn Vande Water. This method QUESTION #8 3209 West 76ih Street, Suite 207 ■ fdina, : � 55435 ■ 612-831-8565 ■ Fa.� 61?-831-8; �� Ms. Barbara Dacy July 21, 1994 �,, PEC Project No. 94046 Page 2 permits the reviewer to adequately sample botanical diver-sity within a given plant community by progressively sampling the various micro-habita.ts within the community in a attempt to catalogue all representative species that are present. Because sampling was done in mid-summer, we could not fully survey plant species wluch flower in the fall or early spring; however, we do not feel __, that any rare taxa would be encountered during these seasons based on the habitats present. 4 In order to assess the extent to which the project site might be ecologically related to Innsbruck Nature Center, a brief botanical field assessment of this area was also conducted. Results Wetland Delineation Review Wetlands on the proje.ct site were field delineated by Ms. Pat Arlig of Arlig Environmental. PEC and Fridley City staff field reviewed the delineation with Ms. Arlig on June 20, 1994. We found that the delineation was accurate and consistent with the 1989 Federal Manual. Two wetlands exist on the project site; (1) an approximately 1.20 acre permanently flooded palustrine unconsolida.ted bottom wetland (PUBI� and (2) an approximately 0.66 acre intermittently � �posed unconsolidaxed bottom wetland (PUBG). The first basin has retained a relatively lugh degree of ecological integrity given its urban suiroundings, though it does r�;eive some stormwater discha.rge from the north and has a small area. of historic fill in its northeast comer. The second basin lies at the westem edge of the site and has been substantially degraded by � periodic, drastic water level fluctuations wluch are the result of direct stormwater discharges from impervious surfaces to the north. The wetland boundary showtt on the grading plan illustrates the extent of these fluctuations as the .boundary lies at an elevation between 938 and 940 while the waxer surface elevation we observed was roughly 932 to 934. Water level fluctuations in this basin have been sufficient to stress or kill mature oak trees lying along its margins. We specifically reviewed a series of small topographi�c depressions immediately south of the larger of the two wetlands described above. None of these depressions constitute jurisdictional wetland as defined in the 1989 Federal Manual. All of these depressions were vegeta.ted by upland plants and no evidence of hydric soils or wetland hydrology was observed in any of these azeas. The two wetlands identified by Arlig Environmental are the only jurisdictional wetlands Qn the project site. The grading plan for the project proposes no filling or stormwater ponding impacts to the two wetlands that have been delineateci on the site. �"'` Ms. Barbara Dacy July 21, 1994 PEC Project No. 94-046 Page 3 Floristic Survev Overstory Plants: — The project site is characterized by an overstory of bur oak (Quercus macroccmpa), northern pin -_ oak (Quercus ellipsoidalis), white oak (Quercus alba), box elder (Acer negundo), northem red oak (Quercus rubra), black cherry (Prurrus serotina), eastem cottouvvood (Populus deltoides), and quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides); these species are listed in descending order of abundance. Understory Plants: � The above described overstory is underlain by an understory of sapling and pole-sized bur oak, northem pin oak, white oak, black cherry, American elm (Illmus americana), hackberry (Celtis _ occidentalis) and American ash (Frct�cim�s cunericafra). This understory has been heavily invaded by a dense shrub la.yer domina.ted by common buckthorn (Rhamrrus cathartica), gray dogwood (Corn�s �racemosa), taztarian honeysuckle (Lonicera t�ica), American hazelnut (Corylus americnna), red-berried elder (Sambucus racemosa) grape-woodbine (Parthenocissus inserta), and riverbank grape (T�itis t�ipr�ia). Shrub species noted to a lesser e�rtent include 1Vlissouri �—., gooseberry (Ribes missouriense), Smooth sumac (Rhus glabra), staghorn. sumac (Rhus typhina), and garden red current (Ribes sativum). Groundcover Plants: The principal herbaceous species observed on the project site include false Solomon's seal (Smilacina racemosca), Canada. mayIIower (Maianthemum canadense), sma.11 flowered buttercup (Ranunculus abortivus), avens (Geum canadense), stickseed (Hackellia virginiana), white snakeroot (Eupatorium rugosum), Tick-trefoil (Desmodium glutinosum) lady fern (Athyrium felix femina) and interrupted fem (Osmunda claytoniana). Herbaceous species characteristic of the fi-inge of the open waxer wetland systems include reed-canary grass (Phalaris c�°undinacea), mild water-pepper (Polygo�m hyc�opiperoides), cut grass (I,eersia oryzoides), manna grass (Glyceria grandis), sedge (Carex it�ibuloides), sedge (Carex vesicaria), smartweed dodder (Cuscuta polygonorum) and hooked crowfoot (Ranunculus recurvvatus). � Ecological Integrity of Plant Community: \' Although the canopy and several herbaceous plant species are representa.tive of a dry or mesic oak � sava,nna, it appears that the relatively low basal area. of canopy species has allowed the'successful encroachment of the exotic buckthom and honeysuckle shrubs, subsequently reducing tfie overall . richness and abunda.nce of native species within the site. Both buckthom and honeysuckle are Eurasian plants that are spread by birds which ingest and ultimately excrete their seeds. These r sp;ecies have overtaken numerous woodlots throughout the Twin City metro area, effectively Ms. Barbara Dacy July 21, 1994 r--=,. PEC Project No. 94-046 Page 4 crowding out native understory plants. Based on observations in numerous other areas around the Twin Cities, the persistent nature of these species will cause an ongoing reduction in the diversity of native herbaceous and understory plants. No state threatened, endangered or special concern plant species were observed during this field review. Criven the extent of the invasion of ____ exotic shrubs, this site appears to have little potential for harboring state threatened, endangered _� or special concern plant species. Innsbruck Nature Center has a species composition very similar to the.proje,ct site. The principal difference appears to be tha.t the overstory plants in Innsbruck Nature Center are represent� by a larger diameter class (i.e. more mature trees). The same exotic understory species tha.t. are degrading the project site are also abundant within the park. Our analysis indicaxes that both Innsbruck ATature Center and the project site are remnants of wha.t once was a 640 acre forest stand locally known as Pe,ck's Woods. The combined areas of the park and the project site are 27.5 acres or 4 percent of the original stand. Reside�ial development in this area. has reduced Peck's Woods to the two small remnants described above; these remnants are too small to perpetuate the diversity of native plant species that undoubtedly once inhabi�ed the stand. While the project site and Innsbruck Nature Center aze separated by an i�eivening roadway, they �"� are essentially remnant components of one ecological unit. However, due to the degrad� natwe of their plant communities and the absence of rare plant species, it is our opinion that neither component represeirts an sensitive or umque botanical resource worthy of extraorciinary protection by the City. . Wildlife Only a small amount of wildlife was observed during the field revie�v, wluch may partially attributed to the time of season and the relaxively short field review period. Observations done in mid-summer may miss songbird species that are most active during the spring breeding period. Species observed during the field review include American robin (Tur�dus'nigratorius), common grackle �QZ[ISCQ'Z2�S t�"UISC1lZQ�, house wren (Troglodytes aedon), blue jay (Cyanactta crista), American goldfinch (Carduelis tristis), black-ca.pped chickad� (Pczr-us atricapillus), white- breasted nuthatch (Sitcr cc�olinensis), ca,tbird (Dumetella carolinensis), common crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), northem cardinal (Cc�dinalis cardirralis), eastem chipmunk (Ta�nias striatus) and fox squirrel (Scirurus niger): All of these species are common in urban areas�, and none are listed as state threatened, endangered, or special concem. The Minnesota DNR Heritage Program data. base for threaxened, endangered or special concem plant or animal species indicates that the only species recorded within one mile of the project site is the Blanding's tuitle (Emydoidea blc�rdingii). This species was recorded approximately one mile from the project site in New Brighton. The Blanding's turtle prefers calm shallow waxer that supports a vaciety of �egetation and sandy uplands for nesting. It is our opinion that the proposed project site does not afford �' optimal habitat for the Blanding's turtle due to the existing ponds limited size and lack of vegetaxive structural diversity and the absence of sandy upland sites within and adjacent to the Ms. Barbara Dacy July 21, 1994 PEC Project No. 94-046 Page 5 site. Aquatic habitat which appears more suitable for this species occurs within the Innsbruck Nature Center; however, the site appears to be lacking suitable sandy upland nesting sites. The project site probably supports a number of additional songbirds (e.g. wood warblers, _ _, flyca.tchers), and ma.mmals (e.g. microtines) that were not observed during the field review; _ however the species diversity and density of such is likely to be low given the character of the plant community described above. No amphibian or reptile species were observed during the field review; however, a detailed survey for such species was not conducted. Based on our observations, the project site appears to support a number of common wildlife species that readily adapt to an urban environment. We did not observe any unusual or rare wildlife species or likely habita.t for such species. Consequently, it is our opinion that the project site represents a typical forest remnant that, has been fragmented by long-term urban developme�. Conclusions � A field review of this site revealed a number of vascular plant species representative of dry and mesic oak savanna systems, however, the encroachment of non-native shrubs species has crea.ted habitat that is not suitable to support the densities that ma.y be encountered within a more natural .�-� oak ecosystem. Although this site does support a variety of wildlife it is at best only partially _ representa.tive of classic dry or mesic oak savanna systems. Lmsbruck Nature Center has a species composition similar to the east site with the exception of harboring a higher number of larger diameter canopy species. We feel that this site has undergone extensive degradation due to invasion of non-native species and would not in it's current state be considered a unique na.tural resource. Additionally the development of this site should not significantly alter the integrity of the species composition that is represented within it and Innsbruck Nature Center. We hope that the foregoing discussiott is of assistance in the City's planning activities. Please let us know if there are any questions on our analysis.

The Trust for �� Puh1iC Larid� is an "interim property owner �in which they purchase properties for preservation and theri transfer it to a long-term owner. Specific to the Totino-Grace property, no funds have been committed to the purchase of the 3.5 acres in the southeast corner of the property. They have their own review process which , is completed within approximately four weeks. I will be meeting with Mr. Haluska and Ms. Kugler on July 26, 1994 at 1:00 p.m. at Mr. Haluska's residence (5660 Arthur Street). The intent of the meeting is to walk the site and examine it for potential purchase by The Trust for Public Land. I intend only to be an observer at the meeting.

TPL is a national, nonprofit land conservation organization that works with public agencies to help communities achieve their park and open space acquisition goals. Over the past. twenty one years, TPL has facilitated the preservation of over 1,000 open space properties throughout the nation, valued at just under $1 billion dollars. These 800,000 acres include urban greenways, hiking and river-comdor trails, city center plazas and a myriad of parks for recreation; and protecting environmentally significant aieas, such as meadows, forests, viewsheds, and wetlands areas. Our work also includes adding significant holdings of public land to state and federal parks and forest systems and preserving land for agricultural use, open space buffers, shorelines and riverfronts, and land of historical and cultural significance. • TPL serves as a third-party buyer in these transactions. For public agencies, TPL provides a service that involves a process of acquiring and "packaging" properties for eventual public purchase. For landowners, TPL is often able to satisfy their timing and cash needs faster and with more flexibility than the public agency. TPL can provide assistance in identifying and securing funding, and providing options for financing over time. TPL also +�andles details of the real estate transaction including appraisals, title review and environmental reviews.

The Trust for Public Land (TPL) helps _to provide public open space to people in and around where they live. In 1990, TPL opened its Midwest Regional Office in Minneapolis to serve communities in twelve midwestem states. Over 700,000 acres around the country have been protected for public use since 1972 and over ?5,000 acres in the midwest states. TPL works in advance of local, state and federal acquisition programs, acting as a land bank to help secure appropriate lands for public protection when they are available. We hold these laiids temporarily until funding is avaitable for.permanent public ownership and management. We buy land outright, we purchase options to buy the land in the future; or we design conservation easements to keep,land in private ownership while protecting it'as open space: The .varied communities in the �Midwest, like the landscape in which they developed, have been shaped by a wide range�of cultural ani� -' geographical events. The open'spaces that make these places unique are the lands that TPL protects. Froin wildlife habitat to trails and riverfronts, forests, parks and even historic buildings, our projects range in size from thousands of acres to one city lot. TPL believes that everyone should have access to natural lands. Every day in America, twelve square miles of open space are lost. TPL believes that our connection to the land is essential to our quality of life. 2W TPL's Lcuic!

B�.sed on the information th�t I have received regarding this praject, I do not believe that there is �ufficient ' damage tQ natural. resources that would invoke th� Minnesota Envirflnmenta3.

There does not appear to be any information tYxat would indicate that the projec� wiil be.in violation of the st�te�s statutes or Fridl�y Ordinance as they a�pply to jurisdictional wetiands; �� 4. The proposed development is au�rized by the city - zaning code and m�ets tiZe requirements of the city's plat�ing ordinanae; and 5.

We urge the city to give full consideration to acquiring the property for its park system. We have already made ..,�-.arrangements with outside sources for funding to secure this parcel for addition to -����-Innsbruck Park and want to work with city officials and the Archdiocese in that regard. Please recommend denial of the permit to develop. If you feel that you cannot do that, at a minimum, insist that the proposers of the project complete an EAW before any further consideration is given tq the d�velopment plan. . �_-- �� � John Haluska on behalf of Friends of Innsbruck Park 5660 Arthur Street Fridley, MN 55432 612 571 5340 , \ ,, � � �"` � FRIENDS OF INNSBRUCK PARK June 14, 1994 Dear City Council Member or City Commission Member, Totino Grace High School wants to sell the wooded southern portion of its property to Biltmore Construction for housing - development. This site is immediately accross from Innsbruck Park. The .�,__�- development will no doubt invoive the destruction of a major portion of the trees and ponds, and the �:�:� fragile ecology that depends on them, and endanger the ecology of Innsbrudc Park. The property being sold, alo�g with Innsbrudc Park, is the last remnant of an upland oak savanna that covered this area at the time of European settlement. With their ancient tr��$� ��nique �9rr�'sn, �um�i�us panc3� (five on the i otino Grace property, seven on the Innsbruck Park parcen these two related parcels form an inextricably interlocked habitat that suppons a diverse ecology of plant and wildlife species. They are two halves of a whole.system. To destroy one imperils the othe�. They are a special part of the Frldley landscape and their threatened destruction represents the prospect of shortsighted and un�nscionable, irreplaceable loss. We are concemed that in the city's efforts to be expeditious in assisting developers, Innsbrudc Park's fragile et�system will be dest�oyetJ. So that full considera�on of all aspects of the Totino Grace/Biltmore development can be given, and all consequences can be appreciated and weighed, we. ask that the city insist that an Erniironmental Assessment Wo�sheet (EANI� be required conceming this proJect. We have peti�oned the state Environmentai Quality Board to that end (copy attachec�. � We also feel that a matter of this importance should be heard in separate hearings before the Environmental Quality and Energy Commission and t�e Pa�ics and R�reation Commission, in addition to � the Planning Cammission. prior to being heard by the City Councii. That way a fully conside��i and deliberated decision can be made with the maximum consideration I�ing given to the c�ncerns of the citizenry. . We feel that the city has an interest and responsibility that overrides private inte�ests to assure that the ecology of Innsbrudc Pa�lc is protected. We feel that the clea� threat to the park, and to the ecologicat heritage of Fridley that devela�pment of the site presents� requires that all plans for the Totino Grace woods be subject to the dosest of scrutiny, and be weighed against ail altematives, especiaily acquisition of the property fo� addibon to Innsbrudc Park. We feel that the acquisition of this parcel by the city will not only serve to protect the interrelated and co-dependent ecologX of these two fragile sites, but will also be a valuable addition of one of the few remaining parcels of land in the city that logically belong within the park and trail system.

He stated that the area was similar in nature to this prbposed plat, and he wanted to know what was done on that particular plat. Councilman Billings also wanted to know the size of1 the North Innsbruck Nature Center and how and when the City acquired it. He stated that in the Planning Commission minutes, there is a lot of reference to Peck's Woods. He stated that he would like to know the original land area covered by Peck's Woods, and when Arthur Street area was developed if it was part of the original Peck's Woods. He questioned if there ever has been any considera-t.ion by any.prior City Councils to acquire ail or any of Peck's Woods.for a park and the results of this discussion. ' � Councilman Billings stated that Council has set aside a,certain amount of open space in Fridley, and he would like to know the :a number of acres in North Innsbruck Park, as well as Spr�. gbraok Nature Center, and when they were dedicated to be open spa�e.

He stated that they are appreciative of the Cit�r's planning staff who has helped them through this entire process. He stated that�Michele McPherson has been very cooperative, and he felt the.Council should be aware of the professionalism of the p�anning staff. He stated that the request for an EAW did not Come before the Council because of the petition but because of the deliberations of the, Planning Commission. He stated that the petition was drafted to get this issue before the Planning Commission and Council. Mr. Haluska stated that there certainly is not any requirement to require anyone to conduct an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW). He stated that there are two agencies involved, the City and the Rice Creek Watershed District, because there are two wet�.ands on the property. He stated that both the City and the �aatershed District have the right to require an EA4J� of any particular developer. He stated that he has been involvec� in that process in other areas and just completed working with the legis- lature on a similar request. He asked that the City Attorney check " with the Environmental Quality Board staff and clarify this'',issue. Mr..Haluska stated that there may be some reason. that a�small residential development is exempt, but he is not aware of i�. He � stated that this is a large-scale project in terms of the ecological issues. He stated that the Friends of Inrisbruck Park � are fully supportive of an EAW and support the request�of the' Planning Commission.

GEPTERALLY LOCATED IN THE SOUTH- EAST CORNER OF TOTINO-GRACE HIGH SCHOOL PROPERTY AT 1350 GARDENA AVENUE N.E.: Mayor Nee removed this item from the table. Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that at the July 11 Council meeting a number of questions were raised. She reviewed the staff's response to these questions. She stated that in regard to the question on the plat submitted by Charles Cook, P.5. #86-06, Valley Oaks, there was an issue with the storm water assessments. She stated that a public hearing was conducted on this plat in 1987, but there was no final action taken by the Council on the plat. � Ms. Dacy stated that in response to the question on the size of North Innsbruck Nature Center, it is 24 acres and was dedicated as a park in 1971. She stated that the original land area for Pecks Woods was at least 640 acres extending from Rice Creek Road on the north to 49th Avenue and Highland Lake to the south, into New Brighton on the east, and approximately along the Matterhorn Drive alignment on the west. �� Ms. Dacy stated that in response to the question regarding Arthur Street, it was constructed in 1972 and was part of Pecks Woods. She stated that in conversations with Mayor Nee, the Cou�cil in 1964 informally discussed acquisition of the wooded area north of I-694, but the cost was prohibitive. She stated that a porbion of Islands of Peace park was acquired this same year. She stated that the dedication of Innsbruck Nature Center in 1971 preserved 24 a�res of the original Pecks Woods. � - -----. �� FRIDLEY CITY C.OIINCIL MEETING OF JIILY 25� 1994 PAGE 5 Ms. Dacy stated. that in respon�e to the question on the size of Springbrook Nature Center, it is 127 acres. The City acquired the land in 1971, and it was designated as�a.nature center in 1974. Ms. Dacy stated that in response to the question whether the developer preserved the trees on the Wal-Mart site, there was a stipulation that the developer try to preserve as many oak trees as possi.ble. They were able to save three out of the four trees on this property. Ms, Dacy stated,�hat in regard to the question.if money �.s avail- able from a third p�rt.y organization, s.taff contacted the organiza- tion, Trust for Public Lands. She stated that the Trust�is an interim� financi�g vehicle and must .be re�paid. � She -� stated that � Mr. Haluska, Friends ot Innsb�uck �Par�C, is meeting with ..them on Jul� 26. It �takes four Taeeks for them to evaluate a site t� determine if they will participate in funding. • Ms. Dacy stated that of 4.90 acres of City parks., 340 acres has been reserved , as "open space.'� ��S�e :state.d . that Fridley exceeds the National Re,creation and Pa�k Association:standards for the.amount of park acreage, as the standards require 180:to 310 acres.� The City owns 490 acr.es... She �stat�d that there are no detailed surveys to-�quantify the activit� at Innsbruck Nature Center�. Ms Dacy stated that in��regard.to the question an the_maintenance requirements if th�e. Totino-Grace property is tu�ned �.ntn a. park, � it. is estimated the..cost to maintain this �area 'would �be approximately $1,800.: - Ms. Dacy stated that the City Attorney has cor�tacted the attorney for the Environmental Quality Board. Mr. Herrick has prepared a memo regarding the request for an.Environmental Assessment Work- sheet (EAW). She stated that it appears the EAW-is not applicable in this circumstance beca�se of the small .size of this development. Mr. Gregg Herrick, Assistant City Attorney, stated that their office has reviewed this question and came to the conclusion that an EAW did not apply. He also stated.t�at the Attorney General's Office is in agreement. He stated that in reyiewing the Min�esota Environmental Rights Act, it is basically a two part process -- tha� is will natural resources be af€ected and, if so; then is tl�e�e significant or substantial damage to the environ�ent. He: stated that it appears this site is not unique in.any e ological sense, and no legislation was uncovered that th�is proj,ect .may violate. �"� n � Mr. Ron Peterson, Peterson Environmental, Inc.., address�d the environmental issues . He stated that there is no i�npact to t#�e two wetlands delineated on.the plan. He also said that this was accurate and consistent with the 1989 Federal Manual: He.stated � that their staff botanist, Mr. Glenn Vande Water, reviewed the site � FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JIILY �5, 1994 PAGE 6 on July 15. He stated that there are four different species of oaks and a number of other tree species. Se reviewed the�type of plants on the site and noted that there is an encraachment of the. buckthorn and honeysuckle shrubs, reducing the overall richness and abundance of native species within the site. He stated.that.no state threatened, endangered, or special concern plant species was observed during this field review. �°`��' Mr. Peterson stated that this site represents less than one percent �'�°'°� of Pecks Woods and combined with Innsbruck �Jature Center, less than four percent. He stated that the ecology at Innsbruck• Nature Center was similar to the Totino-Grace site, and it is a remnant of Pecks Woods. _Mr. Pete�son stated.that staff contacted the DNR Heritage program. . - They. had on1� one record of a state threatened species zvit�.�n ;one_' � mile of .the site,. and ,that was a Blandirtg �urtle. He felt that this site ,was not a suitable place for this . turt�e � ar�d � does nofi provide any .nesting habitat. He stated that only a small �amount of wildlife was observed during the field review. ,. Ms.-Dacy stated that the legal and environment�al issues have been addressed, and she recommended �the plat �be referred back to the Planning Commission. ^ Councilman Schneider stated that. orre of•the issues rai�ed� hy the . public .was if the:�roposed deve�opment would damage.Innsbruck �� Nature Center. - � Mr. Peterson stated that the two sites are part of one ecologieal unit separated by an open roadway. He.stated that the�degree in whieh they operate as a�unit is difficult to state, as certain wildlife species will use.the same sites and, there is a tendency for plants to spread from orie site to the other. He stated that he did not see where development of the Totino-Grace.site would negatively affect the animal or plant species. Councilman Schneider stated that under the Minnesota Envir.onmental Rights A�t, an .individual could bring a.civil action to protect land or water resourees and if �his development proeeeds, who would the person or.persons take action against. Mr.'Herrick, Assistant•City Attorney,.stated that action�,1would be brbught against the owner and the property itself. , Councilman Schneider asked if the Trust for Public Lands has begun ,T the review process. , � � .. Ms. Dacy stated that they.would visit the s�te tomorrow and help staff decided on the process. She stated that they have not committed any funds at this time. . FRIDLEY__CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JIILY 25. 1994 PAG$ 7 � Councilwoman Jorgenson asked how many votes would be required for the City to purchase this property. Mr. Herrick stated that since it is a non-budgeted item, it would require a four-fifths vote of the Council. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if the Council was willing to consider the purchase of this property, what is process to be undertaken, -�--' and what commissions would be involved. �=b Ms.. Dacy stated that she is not aware of any sp�cific process, but it would not be unusual for Cauncil to refer this issue to their advisory commissions for input. Mr. Haluska, 5660 Arthur Street, stated that he sent a letter to the Council. H'e said that Friends of Innsbruck Park stand by their originai position that the sites are ecologically linked. He stated that he is certain the analysis of the vegetation is thorough, but he felt the survey of the animal life was, super- ficial. He stated that the two sites are dependent on each other to sustain any habitat for migrating species. He stated that the fact that most of the yards that adjoin the proposed development site are also wooded and-contribute to the Totino-Grace woods site was ignored. ,-� Mr. Haluska stated that Friends of Innsbruck Park does not intend ' to take any steps towards litigation with the City. He stated that they want, to see that the process proceeds in the proper manner. He al�so said that he appreciated everyone's efforts and concerns. Mr. Haluska felt that the question on how many sites in the City are similar, and if they have been ranked has not been addressed. He stated that he did not know what steps would be taken in regard to the Environmental Rights Act. He stated that Friends of Innsbruck Park stand by their original position, and'this site needs to be prese�ved. He stated that Trust�for Public Lands serves as a financing vehicle, but they buy property outright. He felt that this would not proceed unless the City shows some serious interest. � Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that no decision has been,made to acquire the property. �. Mr. Haluska stated that he understands, but he felt tY%ere were outside funding sources�available. , � Ms. Dacy stated that it is staff's intention to find out �s much information as possible so that this can be presented to the Council. � �� . � FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JIILY 25� 1994 PAGE 8 Councilman Schneider asked if Friends of Innsbruck Park would be willing to share in the cost for acquisition since it would be more beneficial to those residents of the immediate area. Mr. Haluska stated that he would certainly be willing to share in the cost, but perhaps there may,be others that would not. He pointed out that all Friends of Innsbruck Park are not residents .�---- of Fridley. — Mr. Haluska stated that as far as the environmental review, he felt it was only done in part as the ecology of the site is. not only composed of plants. Councilman Schneider statecl that staff is recommending this issue be referred back to the Planing Commission before any final action. He stated that he did not believe every piece of property should be built on, but there is also the issue of funding. He could not support spending $250,000 to $300,000 in City funds to purchase this property. He stated that there may be other funding which he could possibly support. Mr. Haluska stated that the City should not be expected to "foot" the bill.� ^ Councilman Schneider stated that the City cannot hold the developer up forever. He stated that staff could continue to work on any other potential funding, and Mr. Haluska probably could work with Friends of Innsbruck Park to determine if they would be willing to contribute. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to refer this plat, P.S. #94-05, to the Planning Commission and Parks and Recreation Commission to continue their review and to make Mr. Peterson, the Environmental Consultant, available.to the Commissions, as necessary. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Coun,cilman Billings stated that he is not sure the direction tMe Council is trying to establish.. He stated that he is hearing Councilmembers putting forth City money and perhaps a match with surrounding property owners.� He stated that the consultant has stated that there is wildlife, trees, and other growing plants on this site. He stated that he felt every piece of property in the City and the County has these same characteristics. He s�ated that if, in fact, this Council is thinking of a policy direc�ion that would provide funding mechanisms for a match to purchase every piece of property in the City that is currently under developed, ;� this is something that needs a tremendous amount of discµssion. He stated that barring� any policy statement, he would say any action_Council is taking is arbitrary, capricious, and op�n for litigation from the developer. He felt that the City would have ^ to provide the same type of inechanism for all adjacent property owners for all vacant property in the City. FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JIILY 25. 1994 . PAGE 9 ^ Councilman Billings stated that there are 24 acres of park land immediately. adj acent to this site which has the same character.- istics. He stated that if, in fact, as�Mr. Haluska has suggested, the City was to ranl� the open spaces, it would be found that there are a number of open spaces that.do not have a 24 acre park across the street, and this would be lower on his priorities. Councilwoman Schneider stated that he would ag�ree with most of :=Y� Councilman Billings' statements. He stated that the question is -� --° w�iether the adjacent property owners are willing to contribut�, but this does not. mean the Council can arbitrarily decide to contri- �bute, but to consider if there is some possibly to acquire the land . with a minimal contribution by the City. He felt that an argument can be made that there� are some u�nique aspects t�+o this �property. He stated that he did.not want to.delay the plat process, bu� he felt the City cou�ld obta.in figures, within the next month, in regard to funding in drder to take action om�the�plat•.. He felt �that the differ�ntiation. in this �case is the willingness, of. residents to do something to.preserve the area. Mayor Nee stated it is hoped that Council.did not give nay false assurances that the City would�participate in any.costs to acquire the pxoperty: He. felt .that if there was tiiat- possibility, he would. � expect there would have to be a special assessment district. He stated that he ten�ls to agree with Councilman Billings' statements.. ,-� Councilwoman .Jorgenson stated. that the cost is. a�stra�nomica� to - acquire this,property for �azk purposes. She stated that.sh� is - concerned about even considering�acquisition of the;property, and.- � she did not think it is somethir�g�that Council could take lightly. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated.that she is in agreement with most of Councilman Billings' remarks. � � Mr. Dave Sellergren, attorney for the applicant, stated that�he concurs with staff recommendations and�the City Attorney's�report.

BACRGROUND• The subject parcels are the west and east halves of Lot 1, Block 2, Spring Valley Addition. Spring Valley Addition was platted in 1941 as a 125' * 300' lot. It is unclear from the record when the lot was divided in half, however, there is are surveys in the files indicating a split in 1959. ANALYSIB : Subdivision Requirements The proposed lot split will use the south 150 feet of both the west and east halves of Lot l. This 150 feet will be split into two single family lots measuring 75' * 125'. Parcel C will be 9,375 square feet, and Parcel D will be 9,423 square feet. Both lots meet the minimum lot area and lot width requirements of the R-1, Single Family District. The petitioner has submitted a proposed location for each dwelling.

The petitioner was 6� Staff Report � L.S. #94-03, Strong Built Homes � � Page 2 - informed that this would require a variance, and has submitted a variance application to reduce the front yard setback. The proposed locations meet the remaining sebacks of the R-1 District. The lots created for the existing dwellings also meet the minimum lot area requirements. The setback requirements are also met. Wetlands Some of the vegetation on site is that which can grow in wet areas. In addition, the ditch along the south property line would be classified as a wetland and has been identified as one by the Rice Creek Watershed District.
