Mr. Hickok stated the Comprehensive Plan amendment is related to
the Home Depot project. At the last Planning Commission meeting,

PLANNING COMMIS3ION MEETING JIINE 21 1995 PAGE 2 �
Home Depot had a rezoning request, special use permit, and plat
review before the Commission. At that time, the recommendation of
the Commission was to rezone the property from M-2, Heavy
Industrial, and C-2, General Business, to C-3, General Shopping, to
allow development of Home Depot and two retailers.
Mr. Hickok stated one point of clarification relates to the
reference to the parcel being one of the largest industrial parcels
in the inventory. Mr. Tim Nelson sent a facsimile asking him to
explain that there are industrial parcels to the north totalling 17
acres which is zoned M-3, Heavy Industrial, outdoor intensiveo
That is a combination of parcels consisting of b.22 acres and 11.33
- acres. The .14.5 acres for the proposed Home Depot site carr�es two
zoning designations for the one parcel. The zoning for the north
portion is M-2 and the south portion if C-2. The original zoning
occurred in the late 1970's and related to a hotel request but that
plat never formalized. Mr. Nelson also points out there is an
addition 10 acres that carries the M-2 zoning.
Mr. Hickok stated the Comprehensive Plan must be consistent with
the zoning. The plan amendment to rezone this parcel would do
that. The properties to the north, west and south are zoned M-2
and across Main Street�is C-3 and C-2 zoning. �
Mr. Hickok stated the Comprehensive Plan amendment is in order.
Staff recommended at the last meeting denial of the request based
on factors such as traffic and transportation routes, creating an
island of commercial in an industrial area, and eliminating a large
industrial site in the City. In the staff report, it is unclear
what the impact would be to 57th, Main Street, and the exit from I-
694 to University. The City Council has asked Home Depot to go
back and do some further evaluation of the impact of traffic to the
intersection of 57th and 61st and to look at where those trips
would be coming from at peak hours.
Mr. Hickok stated, if the Planning Commission chooses to recommend
approval, staff recommends approval with the following
stipulations:
1. Approval of ZOA 95-04, PS 95-02, and SP 95-05.
2. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment will be required if this 14.5
acre parcel is to be rezoned. All fees related to processing
the amendment will be born by the petitioner.
3. The petitioner shall provide verification of approval of the
storna water management plan from the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDotj and the Six Cities Watershed District.
�
r"'1 PAGE 3
pLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 21 1995
4. The petitioner shall be responsible for the cost of the
traffic improvements necessary to accommodate the traffic
generated by the development including signalization or other
improvements as determined by Anoka County or MnDot now or in
the future.
Mr. Kondrick asked why one would change the Comprehensive Plan.
What are the benefits:of one zoning over another? This body looks
at traffic, signage, the impact on the neighborhood, the number of
jobs generated, etc. He asked Mr'osed to a tcommercial areathe
benefits of an industrial area as opp
Mr. Hiakok stated the Comprehensive Plan is the� policy plan for the
City. It is the plan that future decisions are based upon.
Amendments to the plan are not unusual. One could decide that the
original plan is now inappropriate and that it now makes more sense
to make this commercial. Main 5treet divides the industrial zoning
from other zoning. It was at one time viewed as the boundary.
There was talk about commercial nodes and where to develop those
nodes. There were three identified and this was not one of those
three. If we update the Comprehensive Plan, that Plan would
identify this is a commercial node in the community.
,''�
l�ir. Hickok stated, concerning the impacts if the site would develop
as industrial, the , traf f ic numbers are lower with industrial use as
opposed to commercial. With the zoning as it is, we have kind of
a mix. If it were to develop as zoned, the traffic would probably
be a toss up. Going back to the Comprehensive Plan which is the
basis of our amendment, we would have lower traffic counts. The
peak times may be different for this area. Industrial has morning
and afternoon peaks and lower daily generation.
Mr. Kondrick asked if the peaks would generate more traffic on
Saturday and Sunday with that development than they would have
during week on a per day basis.
Mr. Hickok stated the numbers show they would have peaks as late as
7:00 p.m. and on weekends. Looking at this from an overall land
use, the City Council talked about this being the last large parcel
in School District �14. The assessor's office was asked to do an
analysis on the anticipated taxes. Based on the proposed mix, the
estimated tax is $372,246. In comparison, the estimated tax for
industrial would generate $240,085 for a 100,000 square foot
building. These numbers are based on assumptions. They could have
closer to 200,000 square feet of industrial and greater taxes.
Assumptions are being made based on unknowns at this time. Home
Depot alone would generate approximately $274,000 in taxes.
^ Mr. Hickok stated, as far as the traffic and the land use, it is
healthy from a city's perspective to go back to the land use to see
if the early decisions were accurate or if the area has developed
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JIINE 21 1995 PAGE 4
in such a way that this does not work. How has the area evolved
from what it was when the plan was put together? Those are the
types of things to look at when evaluating. When staff evaluated,
they were taking industrial out of the area and adding commercial.
Mr. Nelson stated, with respect to the issue of extending the node
of commercial, this is. not entirely true given the situation across
the freeway where there is Home Value and Wickes in an industrial
area. He did not think Home Depot needed to have a rezoning but
thought they did need to do so for the garden center. If they just
operated the Home Depot, they could do so without rezoning. The
tax benefits are higher.with retail. It is questionable, if the
site would develop, how big it would be. Historically, the taxes
on commercial have been higher. Home Depot has traffic people who
will have to answer to the traffic concerns. He thought t�ey would
be able to satisfy those questions and they have shown developing
the parcel with the existing zoning is a wash with the amount of
traffic generated. If the site were developed with the proposed
industrial, the project would have additional traffic questions
with truck traffic. Car traffic can be of concern, but there is a
higher concern with truck traffic. He would support tha request
for amendment.
Mr. Platt stated he was available for questions. He thought staff
had done a good job of presenting the issues. One issue is the
move of the commercial node across Main Street. If there is
concern that there would be continued growth of commercial beyond
this site, he thought that could be stopped by what lies behind the
parcel, namely the railroad tracks. There is no crossing to get to
the west and he would think that, if there is a fear that
commercial would creep to the west, the general land layout would
stop that.
Ms. Modig asked if Home Depot had
stipulations.
Mr. Platt stated no.
any problems with the
Mr. Hickok stated he would like to clarify Mr. Nelson's statement
regarding the zoning requirements as it relates to Home Value and
Wickes. This relates to the ratio of retail floor area to
warehouse space. This ratio is appropriate at Wickes and Home
Value to allow in an industrial area. The Home Depot relationship
is different. The floor area and warehouse space overlap and do
not meet the requirements to consider this as an industrial use.
Mr. Platt stated Home Depot does keep everything on the floor.
They keep very little in the back room.
Mr. Sielaff stated he keeps asking hi.mself, nSo what?" Why is the
distinction made? Wickes is still retail. Are there some problems
/'��
�
�
/"'\ pLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JIINE 21 1995 PAGE 5
in having more display space vs. warehouse space? He did not know
why this was an issue.
Mr. Hickok stated there is an element in the industrial section of
the code to provide for assembly showrooms and to provide an
opportunity for a mix on the floor. There are trip generation
impacts to the site. The parking requirements are calculated on
the floor area and peak demands. If it is a very large building,
there may be a large floor area.
Mr. Sielaff asked if this meant the peak would make a difference.
Mr. Hickok stated yes. The peak travel times for a warehouse would
have a different peak travel pattern.
Mr. Sielaff stated Wickes and Home Value would be bigger buildings
so they may have the same number of peak spaces as Home Depot.
Mr. Hickok stated this was possible.
Mr. Sielaff asked if the Metropolitan Council normally goes along
with amendments or do they have some type of review process.
� Mr. Hickok stated there are some guidelines for the City to follow.
Staff has patterned their review on what the Metropolitan Council
would look at. It would be the same outline that they follow. If
the Metropolitan Council wishes to do so, they may ask for more
information. They have 90 days to review and understand the
request before making a determination. In the first 10 days, we do
not see any significant metropolitan impact but this does have some
internal impacts to the City. They would look at traffia on I-694
and University. Main Street and 57th is probably not as big of an
issue for the Met. Council.
Mr. Sielaff stated, while staff recommends denial, that does not
necessarily mean the Met. Council would deny the amendment because
they are looking at it from a larger scale. If they do decide to
deny, what then happens?
Mr. Hickok stated, based on staff's analysis, they can see the
impacts are not great. It is very important to them that we send
in our recommendation after the Planning Commission has had a
change to review. Staff will send the amendment with a letter that
the Planning Commission has recommended and will indicate when this
will be going to the City Council. They understand that when the
decision is made both will review.
Mr. Sielaff asked if there is an appeals process if it is denied.
�'� Mr. Hickok stated yes.
PLANNING COMMI38ION MEETING JIINE 21 1995 PAGE 6
Mr. Newman stated his experience has been that normally the
Metropolitan Council does not deny, but that they object and the
request must be revised until the issue(s) is satisfactorily
addressed.
Mr. Hickok stated one of the things that would be flagged is if the
city were on the edge of an urban area and there would be a large
impact on the water/sewer system. It would come up in the
calculations the changes in flow characteristics, water treatment
demands, etc. If they see an enormous impact, there may be a shift
in their decision or they may want us to justify. In this case,
staff have found that the flows will be a trade off much like the
traffic.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to close the
public hearing.
IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPL�RSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE pIIBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:02 P.M.
Mr. Rondrick stated a Minneapolis-St Paul magazine article on
c�mpanies doing well in the country listed Home Depot in the top
10. The company is growing and has a good name. He thought the
company had integrity. Regarding the traffic question, if they are
willing to comply with any alterations to add traffic flow with
signage or other forms of redirectinq of traffic, he thought that
was a plus. People who live in Fridley who will shop at this
company will use 53rd, 61st or 57th. They will find the avenue of
least resistance. The truck traffic is a concern and he thought
they will have some trucks coming in and out with Home Depot as
well as with an industrial use. It could be that there are more
trucks with industrial than commercial. He realizes that 57th is
a stickler. He still likes the development. He likes the way it
looks and the location. He feels the Home Depot store there could
be an asset to the community.
Ms. Modig stated she basically agreed. She is not concerned about
moving the commercial across Main Street because of the commercial
that is on the other side of I-694 and other businesses on East
River Road. These have invaded into the industrial area already.
When coming over the bridge, there is a lot of truck traffic down
Main Street. She thought they would use Main Street to avoid
University. She thought Home Depot would be an asset to the
community. She sees a need for a store of this type. From what
she has heard, they seem to be a responsible group that we could be
proud to have in the community. She has no problem with the
request.
Mr. Sielaff stated he has not changed his mind. He does not see
any problems since there is commercial across the street. He does
not see anything inconsistent with the rezoning to commercial use.

pLANNING COMMISSION MBETING JIINE 21 1995
Mr. Kondrick stated taxes will be generated. It is possible there
may be more taxes if there were an industrial facility if it were
bigger than this building, but there will be jobs generated. Home
Depot pays good salaries. Those are other things that went into
his decision as well.
Mr. Sielaff stated his concern is the traffic.
Ms. Modig stated, if they had a big industrial conglomerate coming
in, they would have more input from the community regarding the
trucks. There will be more traffic because this is a good place to
shop. She would think that people who have houses along Main
Street would be used to having a considerable amount of truck
traffic now.
Mr. Newman stated he agreed about the caliber of the company.
Everything he has read in the last six months about leading
companies, he keeps reading about Home Depot. It is impressive.
He would hate to see the City lose them. On jobs, depending on the
manufacturing use, they may have higher paying jobs. Or there may
not be jobs. The taxes may be a wash. Regarding current uses,
this is already partly zoned C-2. In looking at the surrounding
,,� uses, part is industrial and part is commercial. He�has a problem
with traffic. If these guys are good, they �ill generate a lot of
customers. We know how the intersection at Holiday gets already.
I-694 is busy and people will use the back roads. He can see a lot
of people using the back roads and a lot of traffic there at times
when people are home to experience it. That is the problem he has.
He thought this would impact that traf f ic and he does not think the
intersections are designed to handle that traffic. They are
designed for a different purpose.
Mr. Rondriak stated these are valid concerns. This is a good
company and because they are good they will generate more business.
There is going to be traffic no matter what develops there. There
may be more with this but not any more than what can be handled by
smart shoppers coming in by various routes. He thought it would
become a manageable situation - bothersome but manageable. The
City will have the same issue at Lake Pointe when that is
developed.. We will have to live with it as best we can and he
thought we can put up with some aggravation for the benefits that
the City wouid see.

approval of a Comprehensive P1an Amendment, CPA #g5-01, by Home
Depot USA, Inc., in accordance with State Statute 462.355,

#95-06, BY ADE LEASING FOR JIFFY LUBE:
Per Section 205.14.02.C.(5) of the Fridley City Code, to allow
an automobile service station and motor vehicle fuel and oil
dispensing service in a C-2, General Business District, on Lot
1, Block 1, Osborne Plaza, generally located at 7609

MOTION by Nlr. ICondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to waive the

hearing.

MOTION CARRIED AND THE pIIBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:15 P.M.
Mr. Hickok stated the request is for a special use permit at 7609
University Avenue N.E. The site is along University in the
northeast quadrant of University and Osborne Road. The site has a
pie-shaped configuration. The zoning is appropriate for the use.
Mr. Hickok stated the site was purchased by Standard Oil in 1958e
In 1967, there was Appeals Commission consideration to allow a
special use perm�t. It was not until 1971 that the Planning
Commission considered and recommended approval of the special use
permit for a service station on this site. The City Council
followed that recommendation. In 1971, the site was developed for
a service station and construction began in 1972. Iri 1973, the
carwash was added. In 1986, the canopy was added for convenience.
The station has been closed since approximately 1992. In the
meantime, soil contamination issues were taken care of. There were
deadlines to get that completed.
Mr. Hickok stated the building has remained vacant. The special
use permit runs with the land, but when the building remains vacant
for a period of time and the site redeveloped, the City takes it
back through the process and would require a recommendation by the
Planning Commission and approval by the City Council.
Mr. Hickok stated staff recommends approval of the special use
permit with six stipulations:
1. The following changes are to be made prior to the issuance of
a building permit:
A. 4 Black Hills Spruce shall be added along the north
property line (Eastern Red Cedar are shrubs).
�

pLANNING COMMISSION ME$TING JIINE 21 1995 PAGE 9
B. Replace all Honey Locust with Norway Maple. Relocate the
three trees (along Osborne Roadj to the University Avenue
side of the parcel to help mitigate the impact of four
overhead doors facing a major thoroughfare.
C. Underground irrigation shall be installed.
Mr. Hickok stated staff has reviewed the landscaping and determined
there should be a mix of evergreen and shade varieties. There is
an abundance of Honey Locust in the community and staff recommends
replacing these with maple. To the south, there are three Honey
Locust located along what is a 50-foot wide St. Paul Waterworks
easement. Based on past experience, staff does not believe that
this would be supported by St. Paul Waterworks. Therefore, we have
asked that those trees be located outside of that easement area to
the University Avenue side of the property. In meeting with the
petitioner, they have asked that they could put two along the front
and one to the north. Other stipulations include:
2. Ventilation will be required for the lower level of. the
structure .
3. Storage of used oil shall occur outside.
4. The used oil storage tank shall be tested, certifisd and shall
meet all specifications of the City's Chief Building Official
and Fire Marshal.
5. The petitioner shall comply with all Anoka County and St. Paul
Waterworks stipulations and obtain all necessary permits prior
to the issuance of a building permit.
6. The petitioner will be required to provide on site ponding.
Run-off calculations to determine the amount of ponding shall
be submitted to the Assistant Public Works Director for review
and approval.
Mr. Hickok stated the last stipulation relates to a berm on the
site plan indicated along the corner of Osborne Road and University
Avenue. The City's engineering staff would prefer to see this as
a ponding area on the site and that surface drainage be directed to
this ponding area. The engineering staff also believes, like the
trees we are asking the petitioner to move from that easement,
history has shown that St. Paul Waterworks would not like to have
a berm on the easement area. Further communications indicates that
this would be favored.
Mr. Kondrick asked how the St. Paul Waterworks staff felt about
having the ponding area.
Mr. Hickok stated communications indicate this would be preferred.
PLANNING COMMISSIpN MEETING JUNE 21 1995 ' PAGE 10 �
Mr. Kondrick stated, with the drawings as presented and with the
station as it is, is there not an actual swale between the property
line and the thoroughfare. Doesn't the water by itself drain
there? Is there a reason why staff feels we should have more than
that?
Mr. Hickok stated the calculations would help determine, according
to water management practices for surface runoff, whether the post-
development runoff would exceed pre-development runoff. Staff is
asking the petitioner to calculate that and, if there is runoff, to
hold it on site and that this would be the preferred location. If
it is a match, they may be able to then to take it out to what
drains naturally. �
Mr. Kondrick asked if a part of their drainage would,be to drain
the runoff into the swale.
Mr. Hiakok stated what they are looking at is sheet draining into
a catch basin. Providing the runoff does not exceed pre- -
development numbers, the catch basin along IIniversity may be
appropriate. The petitioner has indicated that this is acceptable
to them. There is a swale that operates outside of this site and
uses the state right-of-way. As we develop our calculations, we �
separate the runoff conditions and we would not contribute to this.
We would create our own drainage system.
Ms. Modig asked, if you have runoff goinq into a ponding area and
they are changing oil at this site, will there be oil running into
this pond.
Mr. Hickok stated the regulations are very strict in terms of what
is inside the building. This is talking about surface runoff just
like any other parking lot and like any other condition for ponding
on site. It is a very similar and a consistent recommendation.
Mr. Rondrick stated the overhead doors would face west. What
screening will be required to screen those doors from University?
Mr. Hickok stated there are some base plantings including a three-
foot hedge plus perennials. As you get closer to the store, there
is the hedge and then the trees. If the Commission feels it
appropriate, you could make this a part of the recommendation..
Mr. Kondrick stated he would like to see something to block most of
the doors but low enough to recognize the business.
Mr. Newman asked where the cars enter the building.
Mr. Hickok stated the cars would enter the building on the east �`�
side and exit on the side facing University Avenue.

Mr. Newman suggested keeping the doors on the University side
closed and open the others if needed for ventilation.
Mr. Hickok stated staff had discussed this. In another request and
after much discussion, the City Council allowed the doors to be
open. Staff talked with the petitioner who stated it is
unrealistic to expect the doors to be closed. They have the doors
open in hot weather for ventilation. We looked at another layout
where the doors would be facing Osborne Road.
Mr. Rondrick stated, whether the doors are on Osborne -or
University, he would like them to be screened as much as possible
but still let people know of their service.
Mr. Hickok stated, if the Commission prefers, they could look at a
year round opaque quality, the height, and make a recommendation
based on soil conditions and what would provide that intermediate
buffer.
Mr. Rondrick stated they could have a three-foot hedge with a two-
foot berm to screen half the length of the doors.
� Mr. Hickok stated one of the things they talked about when looking
at berms in this area is the dimension from the back of the curb to
the property line.
f"'�
Mr. Rondrick asked if there was roughly 50 feet of doors.
Mr. Hickok stated yes. A two-foot berm may be a realistic
expectation.
Mr. Sielaff asked if the used oil storage was above or below
ground.
Mr. Hickok stated the used oil storage was below ground in the
building. New infornaation about the used oil storage came in to
staff just recently.
Mr. Sielaff asked if they have to meet the same requirements as
gasoline storage tanks.
Mr. Hickok stated yes. The tanks must be double walled with
monitoring devices, etc.
Mr. Sielaff asked if these requirements are the same or more
stringent. There is an incentive for qasoline tanks not to have
leakage but there is no incentive here.
Mr. Hickok stated he would have to defer to the technical staff to
answer that question.
t •
PLANNING COMMiSBION I�EETING JIINE 21 1995 PAGE 12 �
Mr. Sielaff asked if the other tanks had been taken out and if soil
samples�had been taken.
Mr. Hickok stated yes. The fire marshall indicates they have done
the necessary sampling and testing to see if they meet the
standards. He did not believe there was any clean up necessary.
Mr. Kondrick stated the south part of the property adjacent to
Osborne Road has some trees and asked if the St. Paul Waterworks
wants them removed.
Mr. Hickok stated his understanding is that they would accept
perennials along the edge or some low growing plants. They do not
want a berm and no large plants in order to get in there should
they have to do any work.
Ms. McPherson stated, if you look at Bob's Produce/Lyndale Garden
Center site, the landscaping there is very typical of what the St.
Paul Waterworks will allow. There are no overstory trees, and most
shrubs are less than 36 inches maximum height.
Mr. Rondrick stated this area has neighbors to the south. It would
be nice to have something there as a screen for those neighbors.
�'1 .
Mr. Anderson stated he did not have any prepared comments but would
answer any questions. There are some comments he would like to
address. Regarding the used oil handling, there is an incentive
for them to maintain a real control of used oil from the standpoint
of governmental regulations and economic value. They are very
concerned about the used oil and take great precautions. Strict
recordkeeping is required. Their compliance with the regulations
is full and complete. If there are any questions, he would be
happy to answer them.
Mr. Sielaff asked if there was some way to monitor.
Mr. Anderson stated there is a monitoring procedure that is very
complicated.
Mr. Sielaff asked how large the tank was.
Mr. Anderson stated the tank size varies from 560 to 1,000 gallons
depending on the site.
Ms. Modig asked if they have materials or ways of handling spills
should they occur.
Mr. Anderson stated they pride themselves on cleanliness. The only
other company that may approach Jiffy Lube is Rennedy Transmission �
in terms of clean. There is human error and there are mechanical
breakdowns. They have cleaning procedures and they try to clean up
�,
,^

everything that would occur on site. If there is a spill off site,
they will even go off site to a customer with a problem if they
provided the service. In terms of environmental concerns, this
company has been crushing filters before it was a regulation. They
were a leader in terms of crushing filters. Everything that comes
through their facility is virtualiy recycled. The filters are
collected, accounted for, and reused.
Mr. Kondrick asked if they had any problems with the stipulations.
Mr. Anderson stated they had met with staff today and complimented
staff in terms of their openness and their willingness to meet with
them when they asked. They met on the landscaping conditions and
he felt they had a good meeting on what the needs are. Regarding
the berm in front, he had instructed the site engineer to put a
berm in the front between University and the overhead doors. They
have a ponding problem on the state property. It is steep there
and the site engineer stated they would not be able to maintain it
with a bernu, but he will go back and revisit that issue. He has no
problem with a two-foot berm but he also wants to be able to
maintain it. Stipulation #3 states that they will have outside
storage of the used oil. After meeting with staff today, that
stipulation has been removed. The storage will be inside and
ventilated. Other than that, they have no problem with the other
stipulations.
Mr. Hickok stated the City fire marshall received a call today.
The oil storage was a concern until the current code amendment.
There was a revision in the most recent code which does eliminate
the necessity because of the high standards for having the storage
inside.
Mr. Sielaff asked why staff wanted the used oil storage outside.
Mr. Hickok stated ventilation was part of it. Experience has been
to keep the storage away from the technician area and outside of
the building for fire purposes.

pLANNING COMMI88ION MEETING JIINE 21 1995
Ms. McPherson stated this item is a two part ordinance amendment.
The first part is to rescind the existing Chapter 205.24, Creek and
River and Preservation District Regulations, which is the section
that requires a special use permit for construction of accessory
buildings and liveable space in a flood fringe area of the City.
This was originally adopted in 1977. In 3988, the Federal
government changed those regulations. We are now under a deadline
to adopt the new ordinance to comply with Federal regulations.
This applies to the area that is generally located north of 79th
and adjacent to the Mississippi River to the Riverview Heights
area. There will be no significant impact to residents. It does
not change the minimum requirements. The only major change is that
a number of requirements were added for mobile home parks and�
travel trailers which we have not previously allowed in the City.
Ms. McPherson stated the second part is a one-sentence addition to
Section Chapter 205.25, Critical Area Regulations, which deals with
bluff setbacks from the Mississippi River, etc. As a result of a
variance request last summer by Wayne Dahl, staff learned that the
City should be notifying the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) when
we have a variance request. Now the ordinance only acknowledges
that we contact the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The
�"'1 second part of the ordinance amendment is to add the language to
notify another agency. .
Mr. Kondrick asked why this must be done.
Ms. McPherson stated, under Section 103 which has to do with the
Clean Water Act, it is a state requirement.
Mr. Kondrick stated he understands that this would not affect
anyone who wants to build in this area other than the fact that
staff must notify the EQB. Our standards will continue to be the
same.
Ms. McPherson stated this was correct. When special use permit
requests for Gordon Hedlund were reviewed last summer, they were
typical requests under Section 205.24. Staff would continue to
process those types of requests with the additional step of
notifying the EQB.
Mr. Newman stated, when the Commission reviewed the special use
. permit request, there were concerns expressed about adding fill and
there being run off to the neighbors, and having a home higher than
the others around it. The request went to the City Council and
staff looked at it if there were concerns. Now that you are doing
this, would the Commission revisit what to do with those vacant
iots? "
'� Ms . McPherson stated Mr . Hedlund passed away and his nephew has
control of the propertiss. He is in the process of filling those
_

lots, complying with the grading and drainage plans and complying
with the stipulations placed on each of the lots. Building is
occurring on those lots. Short of the odd porch addition or
possible room additions to existing dwellings, she did not believe
they would be seeing very many special use permits for this area.
Mr. ldewman asked what would happen is someone wants to put on a
three-season porch. -
Ms. McPherson stated the proposed addition must meet the current
standards.
Mr. Newman stated, for example, houses in this area are now a non-
conforming use and someone wants to add a three-season porch or
room addition. They would have to put in three or four steps to
get into it. Was that a requirement before?
Ms. McPherson stated this was possible and the amendment will not
change this.
Mr. Newman stated the new ordinance impacts mobile home parks.
Does it impact anything else?
Ms. McPherson stated no.
Mr. Kondrick asked what would happen if someone had a recreational
vehicle (RV) on their lot and allowed someone to live in it.
Ms. McPherson stated there are strict rules about placement of
trailers. It is not against the law. The City could be
responsible if the intended use is for living space as opposed to
storing the RV on the property. If the RV is used as living space,
it must comply with the regulations.
Mr. Kondrick stated he was concerned with the liability to the
City.
Ms. McPherson stated she thought the City would have to deal with
this as the situation arises.
Mr. Sielaff stated, concerning the Critical Area Regulations, what
if someone wanted to build a shed in that area.
�
Ms. McPherson stated the critical area is defined as those areas
west of East River Road. There are setback restrictions from the
normal high water line and the top of the bluff from the
Mississippi River. The request by Mr. Dahl was to reduce the bluff
line setback from the required 40 feet down to approximately 0
feet. That is how staff found out the ordinance was not complete. i"�.
The variance was granted. Staff indicated to the City council
that, when the opportunity arose, staff would amend the ordinance.
,�
�
�
pLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JIIN$ 21 1995 PAGE 17
Mr. Sielaff asked why that request was approved.
Ms. McPherson stated there was something of a hardship because of
the location of the dwelling on the lot and the fact that the
petitioner does not have a typical side yard.
Mr. Sielaff asked the reason for notifying the EQB.
Ms. McPherson stated the statutes does not indicate that. She
believed it is for review and comment, similar to what the DNR
does.
Ms. Modig asked if this review by the EQB would delay requests.
Ms. McPherson stated there should not be a delay. Staff would add
them to a mailing list just like the neighbors. Staff must do this
anyway because it is a requirement of State statutes.

4. CONSIDERATION OF RECONIlKENDATION FOR 1995 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BLOCK GRANT ALLOCATION
Mr. Schneider stated the City of Fridley has- a Human Resource
Commission which is the coordinating body to review and recammend
funding for service organization projects. Their recommendation
was included with the agenda packet along with the minutes of the
meeting in which they made their decision. The process began in
March with advertising for applicants and sending applications out
to previously applying organizations. As the applications came in,
the Commission reviewed them and conducted interviews at a special
meeting on May 18. On June 1, the Commission met and recommended
funding as presented. Staff is asking the Planning Commission to
review the recommendations and make any requests or changes so the
City Council can consider this item at their meeting of July 10.
Mr. Kondrick asked if the $24,000 total was more or less than last
year.
9 �
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JQNE 21 1995 PAG$ 18 ^
Mr. Schneider stated he believed this was somewhat less than last
year. Last year, the total was closer to $30,000. The $24,000
reflects some funds that the City Council allocated off the top.
This amount was for the Human Resource Commission to allocate.
Mr. Kondrick asked where those other funds were allocated.
Mr. Schneider stated the Senior Outreach Worker received $3,000 and
the Senior Home Companion program also received $3,000.
Mr. Rondrick asked if any of these organizations are getting more
funding this year than last year.
Mr. Schneider stated it was about the same. The total amount of
requests came to approximately $54,000. The Human Resource
Commission had to whittle that down to fit the $24, 000. He did not
think any of the organizations represented in their recommendation
received their entire request. �
Mr. Rondrick stated he did not have a dispute with the numbers but
asked why SACCA received less than St. Philips Church. It seemed
tinat SACCA touches more people.
Mr. Schneider stated he cannot speak specifically to that .�n,
situation. When reviewing the requests, the Human Resource
Commission takes close consideration to the number of Fridley
people that are helped. SACCA largely is a food shelf
organization. Due to the elimination of some other food shelves in
the Fridley area, SACCA did receive close to their full request.
Mr. Newman stated St. Philips is very involved in a program for
youth. The City Council is very interested in programs for youth
and also wish to provide start up funds.
Mr. Schneider stated the Commission expressed concern about that.
St. Philips helps kids and their program was very attractive for
that reason. The weaning off of some organizations was a topic
that was discussed.
Mr. Sielaff asked what the priorities of the Human Resource
Commission were in allocating funds.
Mr. Schneider stated they have in the past set up a broad priority
of youth in Fridley.
Mr. Hickok stated Mr. Schneider provided a history of what the
Human Resource Commission had funded in the past to give them an
opportunity to look at their track record. They look at new and
innovative programs and what they have done in the past. This is
available for anyone to review. Mr. Schneider invited the finance �
director to talk to the Commission because they were concerned
PLANNING COMMI38ION MEETING, JIINE 21, 1995 PAGE 19
about some e�tpenditures that were made from the budget for capital
improvements. The CDBG program is set up for program costs.
Alexandra House, for example, had asked for capital improvement�
funds. The City Council made a decision to allow themselves some
room in the budget to have some money they can allocate for such
programs. They want to keep this a pure program opportunity.
Mr. Sielaff asked if they run into the issue of volunteers versus
paid employees. There is a gray area as to when you should expect
volunteers to do the work as opposed to paid staff.
Mr. Schneider stated the consideration of programs by the
Commission is regulated by the CDBG program, which specifically
mentions that the money they are allowing us to allocate can be
used for facilities, supplies, operating e�enses, or staff time
but not for construction or capital improvements. Staff time can
be either volunteer or paid. �
Mr. Sielaff asked how they come up with the total amount available.
Mr. Hickok stated the City Council has set up a structure for
funding. The housing programs come out of the CDBG funds and a
portion is for human services. That amount has fluctuated. There
n are certain things the City Council likes to fund within the
guidelines of the program such as housing. There are also County
administrative funds that come out of the total. What remains
becomes the amount to be broken down for human services. The City
Council did have priorities for the Senior Outreach Worker and the
Senior Home Companion program and wanted to see them funded. It is
policy decisions like that which affect what can be done at the
Commission level.
MOTION by Ms. Modig, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to recommend approval
of the recommendation of the Human Resource Commission as
presented.

DESCRIPTION OF REQIIESTs
William and Nancy
Permit, SP #95-07,
Section 205.13.01.
II Restaurant in
SUI�IRY OF ISSUES:
Wiles have requested consideration of a 3peciai Use
by William and Nancy Wiles in accordance with Code
C(11). This Special Use Permit will allow a Class
a C-1, Local Busi.ness zoning district.
On June 12, 1995 the City Council approved 3 variances to allow the
reconstruction of Wiles' A&W Restaurant, at 7429 East River Road. The
variances included a reduced side yard setback, a reduced parking
surface setback, and a canopy setback from a property 13.ne. These
variances were a result of plans to reconstruct a new restaurant
facility on the foundation of a pre-existing, non-conforming structure.
Just as variances were required to continue operation of a restaurant
that pre-dated the current setback standards, a special use permit will
also be requi.red due to the current code requirement of a special use
permit for Class II Restaurants in a C-1, Local Business zoning
district. Technically, it is the modification of the pre-existing, non-
conforming structure that has caused the requirement of a special use
permit.
The purpose of the special use permit requirement is to enable the
City to stipulate specific standards and minimize impacts, that may
otherwise be detri.mental to repose or enjoyment of the surrounding
neighborhood. Elements to consider standards for include: lighting;
audible devices, drainage, traffic circulation and proper,screening of
elements such as dumpsters or mechanical devices.
RECONIlKEIdDED ACTIONB:
Staff recoannends approval of Special Use Permit SP #95-07 to allow
reconstruction of a Class II Restaurant in a C-1, I�ocal Business
district, with stipulations (see body of report).

request for an off premise sign
canopy was installed
permits were issued for new signs
floors were repaired
roof was repaired
2 variances for reconstruction of a Class II
Restaurant in a C-1, Local Business district were
approved.
The following variance information has been included in this regort
to provide a complete history for the Planning Commission since it
was the .Appeals Commission and City Council that acted on these
items.
Variance Requests
The petitioner originally requested five variances to allow
reconstruction of the existing building. Through a redesign of their
building, two of the five varianees were eliminated. At the
request of the City Council, William and Nancy Wiles had their
building plans modified to eliminate a buildinq extension to the
east. Instead the new addition will be on the south side of the
existing restaurant.
The variances that were approved include:
1. A side yard building setback
5ection 204.14.03.C.{2) requires a side yard setback of 15 feet.
The public purpose served by this requirement is to provide for
adequate open areas (green divider areas) around commercial
structures, maintain clear access for fire fighting and reduce the
possibility of fire.
The petitioner requests that the side yard setback be reduced from
15 feet to 5 feet. The petitioner intends to remove the existing
building to the foundation level. The building would then be
reconstructed in its e�isting location. The existing basement,
� however, would not be enlarged.
�
2. A parking setback
Section 205.14.05.D.(5).(a) requires parking and hardsurface areas
�''\ to be 20 feet from the public right-of-way.
The public purpose served by this requirement is to limit visual
encroachment into neighboring sight lines, and to allow
aesthetically pleasing open area ad7acent to public right-of-ways.
The petitioner had requested that the hardsurface setback from the
public right-of-way be reduced from 20 feet to 0 feet. Located
adjacent to the public right-of-way are two landscape islands
separating the restaurant parking area from East River Road. The
property shares a com�non driveway with the parcel to the south
where a floral shop is located. Staff analyzed the parking islands,
and determined that the northerly parking island can be widened to
meet the 20 foot hardsurface setback requirement without adverse
impact to driving or parking areas. A 30 foot driving isle would
be maintained.between the northerly landscape island and the drive-.
in canopy. This would increase the amount of green space located
on the property and would provide planting areas for trees and
shrubs.
A variance was required however for the southerly landscaped island
which is 8 feet from the right-of-way at its closest point. The
variance to reduce the hardsurface setback from the public right-of-
way was approved as a reduction from 20 feet to 8 feet.
� Canopy Setback
�
Section 205.04.06.A.(3) of City Code allows canopies, decks,
entrances to buildings, etc. to encroach 10 feet into the required
front or rear yard setback.
The public purpose served by this requirement is to limi.t
encroachment of non-structural items into the required setback
areas.
The petitioner requested that a variance be granted to reduce the
setback of the drive-in canopy from 3 feet to 0 feet. The
petitioner holds a license agreement with SuperAmerica allowinq
encroachment of the canopy, as well as ingress and egress across
the property. The petitioner does not intend to reconstruct or
relocate the canopy. Approval of the variance would permi.t a
structure of one property owner to encroach onto or over the
property of another. The Appeais Commission opted to of deny this
variance request, thereby leaving the canopy in a non-conforming
state. This would require that any person reconstructing the canopy
in the future would be required to relocate the canopy to a new
conforming location. The City Council concurred with the
recommendation.
4
�
The following stipulations were attached to the City Council's
approval.
1. The petitioner shall install B618 concrete curb and
gutter along the east and south property lines.
2. The existing hardsurface iocated between the building and
the north property line shall be removed and the area
converted.to green space.
3. The parking lot shall be clearly striped to indicate all
parking areas measuring 10 x 20.
4. The petitioner shall submit a performance bond of $5,000
to ensure completion of the landscape areas and concrete
curbing.
5. A special Use Permit shall be requested and approved in
compliance with City Code requirements.
6. The petitioner shall grant a 45' bikeway/walkway easement
along the west property line.
7. The canopy variance for the existing canopy as of June
12, 1995 and any repairs or rebuilding of the existing
canopy valued at fifty percent or more will void this
variance for the canopy.
SPECIAL USE PE�iNIIT ANALYSIS
The purpose of the C-1, Local Commercial district is to provide
commercial service and convenience opportunities for the local
market. C-1, Local Business activities generally exist closer to
�...� residential neighborhoods than either C-2 or C-3 commercial
districts.

The purpose of the special use permit requirement is to enable the
City to stipulate specific standards and minimize i.mpacts, that may
otherwise be detrimental to repose or enjoyment of the surrounding
neighborhood. Elements to consider standards for include: lighting;
audible devices, drainage, traffic circulation and proper screening
of elements such as dumpsters or mechanical devices.
** STIPULATI�T **
** STIPUI�ATI�T **
All lighting shall be of shielded downcast
design.
No intercom deviaes shall be audible beyond the
property lines.
** STIPULATIOrT ** The petitioner shall install B618 concrete curb
and gutter along the east and south property
lines that shall include a curb along the east
and west �ige of the drive serving the
property to the south.
** STIPULATIO�T ** Al1 dumpsters shall be fully srxeened so not

** STIPULATION ** All dumpsters shall be fully screened so not

The A&W Restaurant has e�isted in this area for over 30 years. At
the time of construction, laws related to handicapped accessibility
did not exist for facilities such as the A&W. Today handicap
accessibili.ty and cus�omer canvenience are elements that are at the
forefront of the design process for this and all other facilities.
In an effort to provide a modern facility with all the necessary

standards have been set to mitigate the impacts of a Class II
restaurant in this district.

greater dw.zng tl�e �`.11'1. �eak hour than the A.M. peak haur. During the P.M. peak hour, the

Durin� the A.M. peak hovx, all intersections �srill operate at Level of Sarvice C or better for

intersectian to e-rperience a drop in lewel of service is at lviain Stireet and 57th Avenue

DESCRIPTION OF REQIIEST:
Representatives of Home Depot USA, Inc. have requested a change in
zoning from a combination of M-2, Heavy Industrial and C-2, General
Business, to C-3, General Shopping Center. An amendment to the City's
Comprehensive Plan, Industrial designation, would 1� required to allow
this rezoning to occur.
SUNIlKARY OF ISSIIES:
Home �pot, Inc. plans to construct a complex containing a total of
142,316 s.f. of retail space. The Home �pot Store will utilize 103,550
s.f. of that spaae. The proposed site plan for the facility also shows
an attached 27,972 s.f. Home De�t Garden Center. Attached to the north
wall of the Home Depot Store is a 26,600 s.f. separately owned retail
facility (owner unknown at this time). Home Depot has also made
provisions for a 5,000 s.f. free-standing peripheral retail facility
along Main Street. The future of this peripheral retail use is also yet
to be determined.
To respond to this request, the City must weigh its interest in:
1. Amending the Comprehensive Plan to remove 14.5 acres from the
industrial inventory;
2. Rezoning this combination of 4.7 acres of C-2, General Business
and 9.8 acres of M-2, Heavy Industrial;
3. E�ending the existing coaanercial node further west of University
Avenue into what becomes a second tier of commercial activity
RECONIl+�ENDED ACTION3:
Staff reco�[tends denial of ZOA #95-04. Rezoning to C-3, eliminates the
largest industrial site available in Fridley. It would create an island
of co�nercial activity in an established pattern of industrial uses.
The existing zoning pattern should be changed to industrial in its
entirety.
PLANNING CONII�iI88ION RECOI�II�NDATION: The Planning Coannission reco�arnended
approval of a rezoning with 15 stipulations (listed in analysis portion
of report).

History:
This rezoning from M-2, Industrial and C-2,
General Business will require a land use
amendment from Industrial to CoYarnercial in the
Comprehensive Plan.
DEVELOPMENT SITE
In 1974 the Burlington Northern rail lines formed a
Land Development Corporation to aid in the
development of the rail lines property that �lined
their Rail system. Burli.ngton Northern had owned
the property since 1965. A Burlington
representative indicated (in 1974) that the property
had not been developed because Burlington had plans
for what they called the Northtown Yards. Their
exact plans for the Northtown Yards were not certain
and until specific plans were available, the Rail
Company did want to dispose of the property.
Burlington's development division did believe that a
Motei to handle their Northtown rail crews would be
an appropriate use of the land closest to I-694.
In 1976 the City reviewed a request by Burlington
Northern and Carl T. George, Georgetown Motel, to
rezone a 4.6 acre parcel adjacent to I-694. The
rezoning would remove the parcel from the City's
industrial land inventory and allow a C-2, General
business designation to accommodate a motel and
restaurant.
In 1977 the rezoning request to allow the Georgetown
Motel/restaurant development was approved. Neither
the restaurant or the Georgetown Motel complea� was
ever built. The land from that point was marketed
as a co�ercial/ industrial opportunity. The City
has received several inquiries for the 14.5 acres
for i.ndustrial development; to date, no formal
requests have been made.
EVALIIATION OF TSE REZONING CRITERIA
2
13.02
��
r"�
,�
Compatibility of the Progosed IIse with the Proposed District
The proposed use of the site is a series of 3 retail entities
totalling 142,316 s.f. The speculative retail uses are consistent
with the language of the C-3 district.
Compatibility of the Pro�sed District with �idj acent iTses and Zoninq
The land use plan in the City's Comprehensive Plan has the subject
parcel designated as Industrial. Staff has prepared a Comprehensive
Plan amendment application that shall be completed by the developer
to initiate the minor plan amendment for review and approval to the
Metropolitan Council.
�* BTIPIILATION** A Comprehensive Plan Amendment will be required
if this 14.5 acre parcel is to ba rezoned. All
fees related to pracessinq the amen�ment will
be bora by the petitioner.
The City must determine that rezoning the combination of 4.7 acres
of C-2, General Business and 9.8 acres of M-2, Heavy Industrial is
appropriate.
The use of the subject parcel, as it is currently zoned, would
allow a 4.7 acre couanercial use and a 9.8 acre industrial use.
Combined, this acreage does represent the largest remaining land
opportunity for an i.ndustrial developer. A rezoning would be
required on the 4.7 acre parcel, however rezoning the 4.7 acres to
Industrial is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff requested that a formal traffic study be prepared by the
petitioner to provide a better understanding of the traffic impacts
of this development. Part of staff's request asked for traffic
numbers that would result from the proposed development. For
comparative purposes, staff also asked for traffic numbers that
could be expected if the land developed as it is currently zoned.
That traffic study has been completed.
Based on the impact analysis, there will be an increase in traffic
utilizing 61st Avenue N.E. to Main Street. There will also be an
increase in traffic at certain periods of the day from University
Avenue on to 57th Avenue N.E. According to the traffic
consultants, this increase will not be sufficient enough to degrade
the level of service at that intersection. The analysis did reveal
existing problems at the interseGtion that are related to the
physical location of the University Avenue/57th Avenue N.E.
intersection in relationship to the exit fro� Highway 694 to
northbound University Avenue.
With current traffic conditions it is difficult for a individual to
exit Highway 694, northbound on University Avenue, and cross over
the necessary lanes of traffic to turn left onto 57th Avenue N.E.
3
13.03
,�
r"�
�
A modest increase in the number of vehicle northbound trips on Main
5treet from the development area south of Highway 694 is also
anticipated.
The Traffic Analysis also reveal� a degradation of service level
at the intersection of Main Street and 57th Avenue N.E. The pre-
development level drops from an "A" (from east approach) to a"D/B"
(east-west approach)
** STIPIILATION ** The Petitioner shall be responsible for the
cost of the traffic improvements necessary to
accomodate the traffic qenerated bp the
developmeat includinq siqnalizatioa or other
improvements as determined by Anoka County or
MnDot now or in the future.
The.City must determine whether the extension of the University/57th
Avenue commercial node west of Main Street is appropriate. As an
entire Industrial parcel (assuming the rezoning of the 4.7 acre
parcel to Industrial), the patential traffic count wo�uld likely be
lower. This assumption is basecl on staff's use of the Barton
Aschman average daily trip generation numbars for a
manufacturing/office comple�c. Though the Barton Aschman figures
account for less than 10 acres of Industrial, staff multiplied the
potential buildi.ng size by 3(109 x 3= 327,300) and determined
that even at 3 tiaies the average daily trips, a manufacturing/office
complex would produce 105 less daily trips.

indicated on the plan; however, staff would prefer alternative
species other than Honey Locust.
+�* STIPULATION ** The materials of the landscape plan shall be

Buildinq Materials
The architect had
alternatives• =
Scenario A:
Scenario B:
originally provided three building material
The buildi.ng would be finished in
FabCon� Standard Rake concrete panel.
The building would be finishecl in
FabCon� Uniform Groove concrete panel.
a
J
Scenario C: The building would be fi.nished in a
FabCon� concrete panel poured with a form
liner that emulates a brick building
face. Scenario C is the preferred
alternative of City staff.
An updated series of elevation plans have been submitted.
�"� These plans show that the developer has selected a variation
of Scenario C. This material selection is consistent with
staff's request to have the developer i.ntegrate brick i.nto the
building face. Real, matching brick will be utilized in the
columns under the canopy on the storefront and in the columns
on the garden center.
Staff understands that the panel that is selected will be
utilized on all exterior building surfaces that will be seen
from the public right-of-way.
The colors of the building are the corporate colors for Home
Depot and are a combination of tan and brown with an orange
accent stripe, canopies and sign lettering. The metal
portions of the building will be factory finished. A colored
rendering has been atta.ched for your review.
** STIPIILATION ** The bandinq and color scheme shall be
consistent on all buildinq faces.
** STIPIILATION ** Customer informatioa/directional signaqe and
stripinq will be required in accordance with
the Home Depot Site Plan dated April 27, 1995.
Signage

i'°�
/�
i"�
There are two sign related issues with this land use request.
Issue l: There are two billboard structures on this
property. The property owner recorded an
easement to allow the billboards to exist on
the proposed Home Depot site. An official
ease.�►ent document was prepared and filed with
Anoka County. Unfortunately, the lease terYns
l�tween the present land owner and the
billboard companies do not coincide with the
construction plans for Home Depot. The City
Council has historically asked that existing
billboards be removed at the ti.me development
occurs on a site such as this.
** STIPULATION ** All billboard siqns shall be removed within �
time frame to be determined by the City.
Issue 2: The second sign issue is related to Home
Depat's desire to have:
-- A sign with a dimension of 247 s.f.
intended to replace the (3) 80 s.f. free-
standing signs that code allows for the
three proposed (separately described)
retail entities.
-- A free-standing sign 69' high, as opposed
� to the 25' high sign allowed by Code.
-- A larger building sign than Code allows
(445 s.f. versus 321 s.f.)
** STiPIILATION ** A request for three variances would be required
to be processed, and a decision of the FriSley
City Council rendered prior to fabrication and
installation of a siqn larqer than 80 s.f.
Enginesrinq
Issues: Drainage
The Engineering Department has reviewed the grading
and drainage plan to assure that the plan meets
the requireaaents of the City, Six Cities Watershed
District and the Minnesota Department of
Transportation. The storm water will be ponded on
site and released into the MnDot storm water
system adjacent to I-694. Two detention ponds
will retain the water on site.
Additional information including calculations and
acceptable CFS measurements by MnDot have been
submitted.
�
13.06
� ** STIPIILATION ** The petitioner shall provide verification of
approval of the storm water manaqement plan
from The Minnesota Department of
Transportation and the Sis Cities Watershe8
District.
The engineers have. also indicated that further
information will be required related to run-off
(onto the property to the west) and potential
spill-over from the northwest pond in a 100 year
storm event
*+� STIPIILATION ** Calculations must be provided and drainaqe
modifications must be completed on the plan
prior to the May 3, 1995, Planninq Commission
Meeting.
These calculations have been submitted and are
being reviewed by the Fridley Engineering Staff.
** ALTERbII-1TIVE
STiPIILATiON ** A drainage easement must be acquired bp the
petitioner to allow excess run-off to drain
on the propertp to the west.
The drainage plan that had been prepared for the
April 19, 1995 had indicated that much of the
�, site will drain south to a retention pond that
will be graded on the pond interior at a 2:1
slope. The remaining portion of the site will
drain to a pond i.n the northwest corner of the
site. The engineering staff has expressed concern
regarding the 2:1 interior pond slope, indicated
on this plan.
r,
Staff indicated a concern about the severity of
the slope at 2:1. The petitioner then redesigned
the ponds so that slopes do not exceed 3:1. The
petitioner has submitted calculations to assure
that the resulting holding capacity and CFS
measurements are appropriate. These calculations
are now being reviewed by our engi.neering staff to
assure agreement.
** STIPIII�ATION ** All pond slopes shall be desiqned with a
min�� 3:1 interior slope in accordance with
the qradinq and drainaqe plans dated April
27� 1995.
** BTIPULATION ** Pond capaaity calculations shall be provided
prior to the May 3, 1995, Planninq Commission
Meetinq. (These have been submitted as
requested)

� Jane K. Pemble, Anoka County Traffic Engineer,
submitted co�nents related to her review of the
Home Depot Site Plan. Ms. Pemble indicated that
she does not believe that additional right-of-way
will be required to allow future improvement to
Main Street. Ms. Pemble did indicate that the
County would prefer to see two access points, not
three as proposed. The northernmost access drive
should line up with the intersection of 57th
Street. The second drive should be placed 420-560
feet south of the 57th Street access drive.
The developer has indicated a concern about the
southernmost access drive as reco�nended by the
County. The concern relates to the circulation
for semi-tractor/trailers as they deliver materials
to the site. An access further north will create
a mix of customer and semi traffic that Home
Depot hoped to avoid by placing the southern drive
as far south as possible.
Subsequent to the April 19, 1995 Planning
Counnission Meeting a new site plan was submitted
reconfiguring and movi.ng the southern access drive
north. The third access point has been eliminated
to comply with County requirements. A note has
�--� been made on the plan i.ndicating that a third
access drive would require County approval prior
to installation.
The northernmost access point has been designed
with an alternative that would align the 57th
Avenue N.E. access with 57th Ave. N.E. This
alignment has been indicated to be contingent on
negotiations with the property owner to the north
of the Home Site.
** STIPIILATION ** The petitioner shall aomply with all
requirements of the Anoka County Enqineerinq
Department.
** STIPOLATION ** A semi-traffic circulation plan shall be
indicated on the site plan with the modifi�d
access location as required by the Anoka
County Traffic Enqineering Department.
** STIPIILATION ** The larqe commercial vehicle circulation route
shall be clearly marked throuqh the use of
informational signs onae the site develops.
