IIPON A VOICF VOTE, ALL VOTING AYS� CHAIRPERBON NEWMA�i DECLARED THL MOTION CARRIED AND TH$ PDBLIC HEARIBa OPEN AT 7t38 P.M. Ms. McPherson stated the special use per.mit is to allow a second accessory structure over 240 square.feet. The subject property is located at 314 Hugo Street which��is just east of Ruth Street and east of East River Road. Located on the property is a single family dwelling unit of split level design with an existing tuck under garage. The Appeals Commission recently approved a variance request to allow the petitioner to construct a 22 foot x 36 foot attached garage. The variance was to reduce the setback from Ruth Street from 25 feet to 17 feet. As a stipulation of approval, the petitioner was requested either convert the existing garage �o living space or apply for a special use permit. Also located on the subject parcel in the rear yard is an 8 foot x 10 foot utility shed. �, Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner has<indicated in his letter to the Planninq staff and to the Planning Commission that he would like to use the existing tuck under garage for the fami.ly car. A second car, a boat and hobby woodworking apace would be located in the newly constructed garage. One option presented in the staff report was to have the petitioner utilize the new garage for the vehicles and boat and convert the tuck under qarage for the proposed hobby shop. This would allow the petitioner to remove the existing overhead door and possibly install double doors ar a single service door which could then allow the petitioner to remove all the asphalt in the front yard except for perhaps a sidewalk for access to the front door of the dwelling unit. The City has in�past instances allowed both garages to continue to exist.and has not required removal or strict conversion of a tuck under garage to living space. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner has indicated he would be removinq the off street parking space located in the front yard and returning that to green space. The petitioner will also be removing the 8 foot x 10 foot utility shed. Ms. McPherson stat�d staff recommends approval of the spe�ial use permit request with one stipulation: 1. The petitioner shall`remove�the�existing_8�foot x 10 foot utility shed within one year of completion of the garage ,� addition. � JPLANNINf� COMMIBBION MESTIN�. MARCB 20, 1996 PA(�E 3 � Planning Commission members had no question� of staff. PRr. Zaczkowski stated he is opposed to havinq the wood shop in the tuck under space. Any sandinq or cuttinq of wood creates a lot of dust which drifts into the home. That is why he would like to put the wood shop in the garaqe �rhere there is no direct access into the house except by the outside door. Also, any polyseal or varnishing could drift into the house as well. Mr. Newman stated is that the 8 foot Mr. Sielaff asked parking space and a stipulation. the only requirement of the special use permit x 10 foot utility shed be removed in one year. if the petitioner was taking out the additional if he would object if the Commission made that Mr. Zaczkowski stated he plans to take out the parkinq space and the shed. He had no problem with the stipulation. Mr. Rondrick stated woodworking tools can be noisy. Would this create more noise from the new garage than from the tuck under space? ^ Mr. Zaczkowski etated there may be more noise. He has a planer and it does involve noise. He did not plan:.to work �t"all-.hours of the night. He plans to insulate the new qarage because he plans to be out there in the winter. No further comments from the public were received.

BY VALLEY INVESTMENT CO.: To split I�ots i, 2, and 3, Block 27, Hyde Park, together with all that part of the vacated alley lying west of said lots and lying between the Westerly extension of the North line of said Lot 1, and the Westerly extension of the South line of said Lot 3 into two parcels as described: Parcel A. The West 65 feet of Lota 1, 2, 3, Block 27, Park, Anoka County, Minnesota, as measured the North line of said Lot 1, and along th line of said Lot 3, together with all that ` the vacated alley lying West of said lots, lying between the Westerly extension of the line of said Lot 1, and the Westerly extens the South line of said Lot 3. Hyde along e South part of and North ion of Parcel B. That part of Lots 1, 2, and 3, Hyde Park, Anoka County, Minnesota, lyinq East of�the West 65 feet thereof as measured alonq the North line of said Lot 1 and along the South line of said Lot 3. This property is generally located at 276-78 - 58th Avenue N.E. Ms. McPherson stated the request is for a lot split by the Valley Investment Company. The property is located at 276-78 - 58th Avenue. This property is a corner:lot located at the intersection of 58th•Avenue and 3rd�Street in the Hyde Park neighborhood. There are three issues to be considered: 1. The Planning Commission will be required to acknowledge deficiencies in Lot B, a reduction in the required lot width from 80 feet to 65 feet, and a reduction in the required lot area from 9,000 square feet to 8,839 squar� feet. � 2. The City's action will create a pswappi.ngp of nonconforming setbacks. Currently, the property does not meet the required rear yard setback. Should the lot split be approved, the required front yard setback.will not.be met by the existing dwelling. � /"1 PLANNINa COMMI88ION MEETING. MARCH 20. 1996 PAG$ 5 3. The detached two-car garage located on the parcel will be located on a newly approved vacant lot should the request be approved. The City Code does not allow accessory structures to be located on a lot prior to the principal structure. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioners are proposing to take the parcel comprised of three lots and a vacated alley and split it into two parcels. Parcel A has an existing duplex constructed in 1959 under R-2, Two-Family Dwelling District, regulations. This parcel measures 77 feet x 135 feet and meets the minimum lot area required in the R-2 district of 10,000 square feet. The lot area is actually 10,400. The lot split �ould create Parcel B which is adjacent to 3rd Street and 58th Avenue. This lot measures 65 feet x 134 feet and has a lot area of 8,839 square feet. Lot B is deficient in two requirements. The first is the lot width which is only 65 feet. The minimum requirement for a corner lot is 80 feet. The second is lot area which is less than the 9,000 square foot minimum. If the Commission chooses to appruve the lot split, the members need to acknowledge these deficiencies. Ms. McPherson stated the second issue is the nonconforming . setbacks. In 1986, the Planninq staff was requested to analyze a similar lot split request. At that time, it was determined that � 3rd Street, because it is the shorter frontage, �ould be the front yard makinq the west portion of-the.lot the rear yard. The duplex is currently 13.5 feet at its alosest point from the rear lot line. The required rear yard setback is 35.61 feet. The lot as it is currently configured without the split ia nonconfo=ming in its rear yard setback. If the lot split ia approved, the � front yard would then be towards 58th Avenue. The duplex is also set too close to 58th Avenue for the front yard requirement of 35 feet. The duplex is 14 feet from what would then be the front property line. The City's action would create a"swapping" of a nonconforming rear yard setback for a nonconforming front yard setback. Ms. McPherson stated the third issue is the detached qarage on what would be Parcel B. If the lot split is approved, the accessory structure would be located on the parcel prior to construction of a principle building. Section 205.04.05.A of the Fridley City Code explicitly states, "No accessory building or structure shall be permitted on any lot prior to the time of the issuance of the building permit for the construction of a principal building." Staff is recommending the petitioner remove this garage. Ms. McPhersan stated staff has analyzed the petitioners' options. The petitioners could potentially move the detached garage onto Parcel A; however, that does <� increase-� the-� lot � coverage from - the � -- -^� maximum of 25� to 28� which would then require a variance. PLANNINa COMMIBBION MEETINa. MARCH 20, 1996 PAa� 6 ^ Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends approval of the request with the Planninq Commission acknowledging the deficiencies and with the following stipulations: 1. The petitioner acknowledges the City's action creates a nonconforming front yard setback. 2. The petitioner shall remove the qarage located on Lot B. 3. The petitioner acknowledges that Lot B has a long, narrow buildable area and shall design a house to fit that area. Ms. Modig stated how is this impacted by the fact that the Planning Commission is acknowledginq the deficiencies reqardinq the setbacks and the petitioner is acknowledginq that the City's actions create a nonconforming setback? Ms. McPherson stated she would respond to the first part regarding the Plan�inq Commission acknowledging the deficiencies. The subdivision ordinance allows the Planning Commission and the City Council to approve lot splits or plats with lots that do not meet the minimum requirements. The Commission is in effect granting a variance to the lot area and lot width requirements. Those are the only two areas where the Planning Commission is � allowed to grant a variance. Ms. McPherson stated the second part deals with the front yard setback. While the petitioners acknowledge that the iot line along 58th Avenue now becomes the front yard and creates a nonconformity, it does not qrant the petitioners a variance to the front yard setback. If the petitioners chose to expand the part of the dwelling in the area of the garage, they would need to request a variance. Mr. Saba asked what was planned to go on the newly created lot. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioners have been told that the only type of bu3lding permitted.in that district would be a einqle family dwelling. Ms. Modig asked if a time limit had been set for the removal of the garage. Ms. McPherson stated a time limit had not been set. This should be done. Mr. Sielaff asked if the existing attached qarage had two parking stalls. Ms. McPherson stated the existing qarage is a 1.5 car garage �"`� being 21 feet wide. � �LANNINa COMMI88ION ME$TIBO. MARCH 20. 1996 PAaS 7 Mr. Sielaff asked if the petitioner would have to have hard surface that would accommodate 2.5 cars. Ms. McPherson stated existinq duplexes constructed prior to the current code are permitted to provide three parking spaces. Potentially, if the tenants have small cars, they may be able to get two in the qaraqe and the owner would have to provide an additional hard surface stall adjacent to the qaraqe. Mr. Sielaff asked if the total lot coverage included hard surface . Ms. McPherson stated no. This pertains only to the buildinqs. Mr. Oquist asked, if the existing garaqe on the newly created lot could become part of the new structure, would it be necessary to remove it. Ms. McPherson stated no, but the Planning Commission would have to amend the second stipulation to indicate, if a dwelling were to be constructed within 12 months.or 18 months, then the garage could remain as part of that structure. ,,—� Mr. Newman asked if the lot width of Parcel A was nonconforming. Ms. McPherson stated Parcel A is an interior lot and the minimum is 75 feet. This lot is 80 feet which is conform3.nq. Mr. Newman asked, from a planning standpaint, why should the Planninq Commission recommend approval. Ms. McPherson stated that approval would provide an additional single family lot and provide an opportunity to invest in the Hyde Park neighborhood. The City and the HRA are encouraging investment in this part of the City. The request is not greatly different from what has been previously approved in other parts of the community. .The lot.area..is.not substantially below the minimum requirement. Mr. Saba stated he had the same concerns that we are perpetuating nonconformance. Is this really an investment in the Hyde Park neighborhood or is thie perpetuatinq nonconformance in that neighborhood? Without seeinq a plan or without knowinq what will be developed there, he is skeptical. Ms. Hegna stated someone had talked about putting the existing garage next to the existing duplex. Where would the driveway be? Ms. McPherson stated this - is • a< questionF.�-to .direct to the. -� ���"� petitioners. There is an option to qa through the variance process to construct an addition to the existing qaraqe. �LANNINa COI�ISBION ME$TIN6. MARCH 20. 1996 PA�B 8 � Mr. Newman asked if the petitioners could do this and meet the setback requirements. - Ms. McPherson stated they could do that in the rear yard but not in the front. Mr. Newman asked, if the petitioners merely removed the detached garage, is there a garage by the duplex now. Ms. McPherson stated yes. Mr. Brody, Valley Investment Company, stated they woulri like to leave the garage on the.new lot and-construct a single family dwelling. He hoped to have that completed in the next 16 months. I�Ir. Newman asked when the petitioners anticipated breaking ground. � Mr. Brody stated they hoped to do so this summer. Mr. Rondrick asked if the petitianers planned to build a new dwelling on the lot and leave the garage there. Mr. Brody stated yes. It seems a shame to tear down the garage � when it is already there serv.ing�a good purpose. Mr. Newman asked, without seeing plans, would that conform with setback requirements. Ms. McPherson stated, if the garage remained detached, it would meet the requirements. If the garage is attached, staff would need to further analyze the request. Mr. Saba�eupressed concern about the size of the garage. Isn't that an issue with new construction? Ms. McPherson stated the existing garage is 22 feet x 23 feet. It is small but it would meet the two-car garage requirement. Mr. Oquist asked, if a house were constructed, which street would be the address. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner can choose whether to address the property off 3rd Street or 58th Avenue. Mr. Saba asked if staff had received any calls from the neighbors. Ms. McPherson stated staff had���not � received°°any•-calls: �� �- - � Mr. Brody stated their plan i,� #� ��� � single family home. � PLANNINQ COI�II�iI88ION MESTIN�. MARCH 20. 1996 PA�B 9 They would consider sellinq the lot if they had an offer from a contractor. Either way, there �ould be new construction in that area. Mr. Newman suqgested stating as a condition that the time frame be 12 months for a building permit to be issued with a certificate of occupancy beinq issued within 18 months and, if this is not done, the petitioner then must take down the garage. Mr. Oquist stated he can understand the concern about nonconforming use but, on the other hand, it is a large empty area. The points staff has made are valid. He has no problem with the stipulations. Mr. Newman asked if the petitioners had seen the recommendations that staff had recommehded and if they was comfortable with those. Mr. Brody stated they had seen them and had no problems. No further comments from the public were received. OTION by Mr. Oquist, seconcied by Mr. Kondrick, to recommend � approval of Lot Split Request, L.S. �96-01, by Valley Investment Company, to split Lots i, 2, and 3, Block 27, Hyde Park, together with all that part of the vacated alley lyinq west of said lots and lying betwe�� the Westerly extension of the North line of said Lot 1, and the Westerly extension of the South line of said Lot 3 into two parcels as described: Parcel A.

CONSIDERATION OF A VACATION REOTTEST SAV #96-01 �Y IMPERIAL HOMES . INC. : - To vacate that part of the drainage and utility easement as dedicated on Lot 7, Block 1, Totino Graae Addition, described as follows: Beginning at a point on the north line of said Lot 7 distant 65.10 feet east from the northwest corner of said Lot 7; thence on an assumed.bearing of South 28 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds East along the � west line of said drainage_and utility-easement 64.13 feet; thence South 38 degrees OO minutes East 32.00 feet; thence North 24 degrees 16 minutes 58 seconds West.92.63 feet to a point on said north line distant 12 feet east of said point� of beqinninq; thence South 77 degrees 31 minutes 44 seconds West 12.00.feet to the point of beginning. Except the north 5 feet thereof, generally located at 1435 Royal 0ak Court Id.E. Ms. McPherson stated the request is for a recently subdivided lot in the Totino-Grace addition located near Arthur Street, southeast of the school and �.ocated adjacent to a wetland next to Arthur Street. The petitioner is requesting that a portion of a drainage and utility easement�located on the property be vacated. The petit�toner is requesting the vacation in order to construct a single family dwellinq with an attached garage. The northeast corner of the garage encroaches into the easement area. The petitioner is currently constructing a house and at this point is avoiding the area of the garage to avoid encroachment into the easement area. Ms. McPherson stated the purpose of the drainage and utility easement is to provide additional buffer space for the wetland area beyond the line delineated by the wetland specialist. The petitioners have designed a house -for.• their.��client.: � . Unfortunately, the design of the house does not fit within the ^ buildable area when taking into account the easemer�t and setback ,,,\ PLANNINQ COMMISSi08 MEETI�Q. MARCS 20, 1996 PAaB 11 requirements. Wetland delineations are not an exact science. The additional buffer provided by the drainage and utility easement is an advantage. The vacation of the easement would reduce th� buffer from 7 feet to approximately 1.5 feet at its closest point. Ms. McPhereon stated staff is recommendinq the request be denied. The petitioner has designed the garaqe so that it could be cantilevered over the easement area which would not require footings or foundations in the easement; ho�ever, the garaqe would still hang over and into the air rights of the easement. There are no utilities that the City would require access to in this area. The purpose of the drainaqe and utility easement is only to protect the-wetland located north and east of the site. Mr. Oquist asked if the petitioner could still cantilever the garage over the easement even if the request.was denied. Ms. McPherson stated yes. The oriqix�al desiqn of the garage had space below the garage which was intended to allow the petitioner workshop space. That would need to be omitted if the vacation request is denied. ,� Mr. Rondrick asked how much the setback would be reduced. , , Ms. McPherson stated the setback would be from 7 feet.to 1.5 feet at the closest point based on the new line of the easement. Mr. Newman asked if the City had an ordinance that requires a specific setback from a wetland. Ms. McPherson stated no, the City does not have such an ordinance. Mr. Rondrick asked if it was correct that this is meant to keep buildings as far.away as possible from the pond. Mr. Oquist stated this is meant to keep the footings away from the pond. Mr. Newman stated the drainage and uti�ity easement is meant tc protect the wetland soils and vegetation. Whether there is a pond or not is immaterial. The area is deaignated a wetland and the easement is to keep that from beinq disturbed. Mr. Black stated Bob and Cheryl Horeck currently live at 4555 Danview, have lived there for 20 years and are building their � dream home. Mr. Riemersma, Imperial Homes, spent much time with the applicants looking at their>home, looking at what they-would-< ,� like to build, and designinq a home for the lot. There have been many adjustments made to the plan and they thought they had it ��ANNINa COMMI88I0� MSETIN�. MARCH �0. 199b PA�$ 12 /`� until it was staked out on the property, and they were told they were not allowed to go onto this drainage easement on the northeast portion of the lot. Mr. Black stated they are asking consideration to vacate only a portion of the easement. They are not talking about any setback variances. The house meets all the setback requirements. It is the encroachment over the drainage easement that is the problem. The drainage easement line was not something required by the City. It is not a requiremer�t that they have this in a certain spot. It is.really the surveyor who dre�a the easement line up and above the 100-year_flood plane of that pond. If we had known this, they.would have moved•the easement over because it is not goinq to make a difference. Stringent requirements were placed on them as they came through the process to get this plat approved. On this particular lot, there were a number of stipulations they had to abide by in order to build a home on this lot. Mr. Black stated the pond has a 100-year flocd plane elevation of 951 feet. The easement line as they wish to amend it will still be above 951 feet. The easement line as currently shown was delineated by Mr. Harley, a respected person when it comes to wetland delineation. However, the wetland soils meander up and down the hill. The easement line.would..still be..above the. , ^ wetland line. The change as proposed would not allow any� encroachment into the wetland. It is not their intention to encroach into the wetland. Mr. Black stated another stipulation was that there shall be no construction helow the 953 contour. That is a stipulation we are abiding by. Regarding flood protection, there is a requirement that the lowest opening on the lower level cannot be below the 955 elevation. The lower level elevation is at 959. Mr. Black stated the request is to vacate a portion of this easement. It will not encroach upon any of the stipuiations placed upon us when the plat was approved. i�lr. Black reviewed th� building plan. Mr. Oquist asked what portion of the easement the petitioner was requesting to.vacate. Mr. Black stated the area is shown on the Certificate of Survey as a somewhat triangular shaped shaded area. It could be made somewhat smaller. Only a small corner of the garage would encroach totalling approximately 35 square feet. The buffer area is an area that staff would like to have, but there is nothing in the code that requires a setback from a- wetland.-� -In. many>.•-lots,-- -- it is common to have drainage e�sements along property lines and � the homeowner maintains the easement. in this area, there will 0 � PLANNINa__COlrIIKIBBION MEETINa. MARCS 20. 1996 PAaS 13 be some maintenance within the easement area. The easement line is the setback line. The house is a walkout rambler with a three-car garage. It is the back co=ner of the garage where the problem occurs. The area below the qaraqe would be a storaqe area with an outside access. Nir. Newman asked if the area of issue is under the third stall of the garage. Mr. Black stated yes. To avoid encroachment, they have design�d the wall at an anqle with the upper level cantilevered two feet over the footings in order to provide room for another vehicle. This creates some other structural problems including an unusual roof line and an odd exterior elevation. Mr. Black stated the Horecks are excited about building the house. They have the permits and are under construction. The house sits well on the lot and there have been adjustments made to fit the lot. It is now the issue of the easement. There is no reason to have the easement this wide because they can still meet all the environmental protection requirements with a shallower easement area. � Mr. Newman asked how the easement was set as it is. Mr. Black stated the easements are drawn on the final plat which does not reflect the final contours of the property. The easement line was drawn on the plat close to the wetland at a point the surveyor thought was above the 100-year flood plain elevation. It was accepted, and they thought they had enough room to build. It was not a mistake on the part of the surveyor. Knowing that these lots had restrictions and that the.homes would be custom homes, in retrospect they perhaps should have paid more attention. Mr. Newman asked, when the City approved the plat, did we require the easement be a certain�distance away from the delineation. Ms. McPherson stated no. Mr. Newman asked if they had assumed the su.rveyor was drawing the line to be consistent with the delineation of a wetland. Ms. McPherson stated this was correct. Mr. Newman asked if the original delineation had changed. Ms. McPherson stated no. r� Mr. Newman stated the�e was then no reason for additional area to be dedicated. The surveXor dr�TUt �,� and we accepted that. PLANNINa CO�II88ION MEETINa. MARCH 20. 1996 PAGS 14 Ms. McPherson stated this was correct. IInless it is for a specific engineering request, we do not atipulate the width of easemente. Mr. Newman stated, since.there is no such.thing as a wetland easement, you use a drainage easement. Ms. McPherson stated this was correct. Mr. Newman stated, whether or not a hardship is caused, the problem is that from a structural standpoint cantilevering the qaraqe is going to be difficult. Mr. Rie�nersma stated, from a standpoint of doing custom-design homes and fittinq them onto the lots, we run into problems quite often with setbacks and certain requirements. On this particular lot, the reason we are where we are in the construction is that when we designed the home we did take into consideration all the setbacks. When he wrote a summary of the requirements for this- lot, the requirement was to not build below 953 feet. So, he designed the home under that assumption not realizing there was a drainage and utility easement at that corner of the garage. His impression was that they could build within the 953 line which is what they are proposing. The reason we are constructing at this � point in the way we are is that we could get�-a building permit without having a foundation shown on that easement. The City would allow them to build the garage r�ith an angle and cantilevered. Upon putting together the purchase aqreement requirements, etc., they then found this was within the easenbent. Mr. Horeck is the future owner of the home. He distributed copies of his memo to the Fridley Planning Commission dated March 20, 1996, regarding the vacation of the easement. Mr. Horeck stated they have a stairway from the garage goinq to the lower level. They ha�e elderly parents who are not in good health and they e�ect their parents to come and live with them. He eacpects to install a lift.aystem which requires adequate clearance by the corner of the stairway. The cantilever leaves marginal room and could cause problems. Beyond that, they feel the angled wall detracts fram the house and the beauty of the neighborhood. They have had a number of concerns expressed by staff. The first was that they did not meet the setbacks. Mr. Black has discussed this in detail. The second was that the neiqhbors have serious objections. T�ey.have lived in the . �neighborhood for 22 years. iie went to each peraon iistea on the notice. With the exception of one person, they have all aigned. The one person objecting is at the meeting. They have spoken about the obj ections and -it � comes -down>�� to •� destroying the beauty of the wetlands and not wanting the development in their backyard �-�, in the first place. The development is he�e. The house will be 0 PLANNINt3 C�MMI88ION i�BTINa, MARCS 20. 1996 PA�313 15 built. They want to preserve and enjoy the wetland. They have been avid about preserving the wetland. Their plan is to leave the wetland and easement as it is but they want to get the footinqs in for the garaqe. They have an elevation of 955 feet at the back of the house at the door on the lower level. The corner of the garaqe is an area of 35 square feet that would encroach. If the wall is angled, the eqreas is tiqht if they have a wheelchair situation. Mr. Horeck stated he has no objection to the buffer area. They plan to leave the area wild, clean up as much as. they can and keep it as natural as they can. They have two places that are a problem. The first is the 35 square feet at the angled wall and the other is one footing for a deck in the very back corner. He does not see how they are going to upset anyone's view by makinq the garage the right shape. They have no neighbors that will be affected. This is. a reasonable request and he hopes to get approval. � Mr. Reyes stated he is speaking in support of staff's reco�o�nendation that the wetland and drainage easement be retained. He was aware of the restrictions and covenants. These were done for many qood reasons, including the preservation of ,..� the wetlands and retaining the natural beauty. �He is concerned about this request. In his experience, the developer has already encroached on property. His next door neighbor had his land encroached upon by a bulldozer which leveled everyth3nq there. That neiqhbor.has resolved the matter but the developer did not have permission to do thata 8e is concerned that this request, though for a mini.mum amount of space, can end up being different than what is expected. He is concerned that what is being asked for may not be the final product. This area has had a lot of water runoff in the last few years. He is concerned that the home was started before this request was made. It is close to the wetland as it is. He is surprised that a home of that size is goinq in that close to a body of water. He would support that the land and easement be retained as.they are. Mr. Saba asked if there was any other way to do this without givinq up the entire easement, such as by a variance. Ms. McPherson stated the issue is not a setback requirement. Mr. Newman stated he does not like the fact that, if the Planning Commission approves the vacation, it allows a home to be within 1.5 feed of a dedicated wetland but the City has no ordinance requiring a setback. The surveyor may have made an error. If so, we have to correct that mistake. This request is to correct the delineation. � �, Mr. Oquist stated the rec�uest is not to build into the wetland. PLANNINa CO�II88ION MEBTINa. MARCH 20, 1996 PAaB_16 It is still 1.5 feet away. He thought they could assure Mr. Reyes in making sure this is constructed properly. Mr. Newman stated he would assume, if they added a stipulation, that we want the edge of that wetland clearly marked and staked during the construction period, that would be acceptable so it is clear to the builders, neiqhbor� and City inspectors where the line is. Mr. Sielaff stated he is concerned about a broader i�sue. One can argue that the easement is accurate or not accurate. 8e is concerned about other drainage.easements that�are done and what this does when they review other requests that come up. The lines are put on paper for a reason and now we are starting to move those lines a little more and then someone requests a little more. Where to you then draw the line? He is concerned from a broader perspective. He has no qualms that the owner will take care of his property and take care of the wetlands, but he sees a broader issue. Mr. Oquist stated this easement was arbitrarily placed there where in other situations they are well defined easements along lot lines. Mr. Newmara recommended, when they are done, that staff look at an ordinance specifying setbacks from a wetland. Since we do not now have such an ordinance in place, he did not think they could impose it in this case. Nlr. Saba stated he could go along with that recommendation. He would also like to see a setback ordinance for wetlands. OTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Rondrick, to recommend approval of Vacation Request, SAV #96-01, by Imperial Homes, Inc., to vacate that part of the drainage and utility easement as dedicated on Lot 7, Block 1, Totino Grace Addition, described as follows: Beginninq at a point on the north line of said Lot 7 distant 65.10 feet east from the northwest corner of said Lot 7; thence on an assumed bearing of South 28 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds East alonq the west line of said drainage and utility easement 64.13 feet; thence South 38 degrees 00 minutes East 32.00 feet; thence North 24 degrees 16 minutes 58 seconds West 92.63 feet to a point on said north line distant 12 feet east of said point of beginning; thence South 77 degrees 31 minutes 44 seconds West 12.00 feet to the point of beginninq. Except the north 5 feet thereof, generally located at 1435 Royal Oak Court N.E., with the following stipulation: 1. The edge of the wetland be�clearly marked at not greater than 10-foot in�ervals so all concerned persons can monitor. ^ � PLANNINa COI►�ISSIO� MEETINd, MARCH �0. 1996 PAaB 1? Mr. Saba stated he was concerned about the lack of consideration by the conatruction company going into the neighbor's property and being careless. Ms. McPheraon updated the commission on this issue. An error was made by the subcontractor on one of the lots. Staff immediately worked with the petitioner and the neighboring property owner to bring resolution and correct the error. _.They.have re-vegetated and re-planted what was destroyed. As a result, in order to enforce the 15-foot no cut zone, staff has required the petitioner to install orange snow fencinq to prevent sub- contractors from misunderstanding where the construction area is. Staff is holding a performance bond of the petitioner as well. Staff have put mechanics in place to prevent further inadvertent encroachment. This will apply to this lot as well.

Hickok, Planning Coordinator SU&TECT: Information Memo - Revision to the City's Comprehensive Plan regarding non-point source pollution. INTRODQCTION This Comprehensive.Plan amendment coincides with the storm water run-off protection elements that are aurrently contained within the City's Zoning Ordinances and enforced by City-Staff. ` I88IIE � In August 1995, the Metropolitan Council approved an amendment to the City's Comprehensive plan. This amendment did allow the City to change their land use designation from Industrial to Commercial on a 14.5 acre site. The impetus of the City's request was their desire to accommodate Home Depot IISA. At that time, the Metropolitan Council stipulated that their approval was tied to a requirement that the City amend their Comprehensive Plan to coincide with.the City�s existing ordinance language. The City's non-point ordinance was adopted to protect the environment and was an attempt to comply with the Metropolitan Cauncil's earlier mandate regarding non-point source pollution. The Met Council recognized the City's effort as having the impact they had hoped for, but asked that we now do the Comprehensive Plan housekeeping to complete the process. �� The purpose of the Metropolitan Council's Interim Non-Point Source Pollution Standards and the National Urban Run-off Program (NURP) Standards is to protect the surface water quality in our region and the nation. Without these standards the region would experience a degradation of surface water quality and pre-mature aging of ponds, lakes, rivers, etc. IMPLEMENTATION IMPACTS Staff is careful to observe the NURP/Non-Point Source Standards � that exist as elements of the City's zoning text.

SUMMARY OF ISSUES• Section 214.07 of the Fridley sign c�ode require.s that a special use permit be issued prior to the instaAation of automatic changeable signs. The props�sed request meets the requir�nerrt.s of the sign code. The primary sign measures � 72 square fe� in area� and reads °North Metre Neck and Back Specialists°. The time and temper^ature sign is 4.8 square feet. The total sign area is less than the maximum 80 square fegt permitted by c�ode (76.8 square feet). The City t�s iv� time and temperature signs; one �t Home Valu and the other at TCF Bank on Central Avenue. Menards also I�as an automatic changeable sign as part of its freo-sCanding sign. Menards' sign is perrnitted to change only once ev�y 15 minutes. Time and temperature signs may change more frequer��y. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Staf� recomm�ds that the Planning Commission recomm�xi approval of the special use perrnit request, to allow an automatic changeable time and temperature sign, with the following stipulation: 1. If the use of this sign becomes more than time and temperature, the messag� shall change no more tt�an or�ce every 15 minutes. s�taff aeport SP #96-03, Wayne �hl Page 2 PetiUon For.

PARCEL DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY The subject parcel is located in the southeast camer of the interseation of Highway 65 arxi Osbome Road. The property was originally a driv�in restaurartt Icnovm as the °Frost Top°. In 1964, a buildir� permit was issued to construct a 26' x�' r�taurant and c�nopy on the site. Add�tional building permit activiiy includes: 1969 - Construction of a 38' x 38' storage building 1976 - Addition of a miniature goff oourse 1981 - Pebtioner acquired the property and remode{ed it from the driv�in restaurant use to the chiropractic clinic 1987 - The p�titioner added a 1,656 square foot acidition ►_�, r�a Section 214.07 of the City's sign code requir�es approval of a special use pe�m�t prior to the installation of eny automatic changeable sign. The secEion limits the change of m�sage for automatic changeable sigr�s �o once every 15 minutes with the exc�ption of time and temperature signs� vvhich may change more frequ�Uy. There are tw�a time and tempe�ture signs located in Fridley; one at Home Value ar� the other at TCF Bank on Central Av�ue. The IVlenards sign is also an automatic changeable sign; how�ver, its m�sage changes once e�very 15 minutes as perrnitted by oode. staff Report SP �#96-03, Wayne Dahl Page 4 n The tota� square footage of the signage is proposed tQ � be 76.8 square f�et. This is broken down as to 72 square feet fior the primary sign which reads �North Me� Neck and Back Specialisis", and 4.8 square fee� for tt� time and t�nperature sign which is proposed to be located on �p of the sign. The total of the proposed square footage of the sigrmge is less than the � square feet rr�cimum perrr�itted by code. RECOMMENDATION The proposed sign mee�s tt�e standards se� fiorth in the sign code; therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission reoommend approval of the request, with the foilowir�g stiputation: 1. lf the use of this sign becomes more than time ar�d temperature, the message shall change no rrwre than once ev�y 15 minutes. � n N SP #96-03 7699 Highway 65 LO�ATION MAP ;'. -� .. :?; . : �. . . .... + • . . . o . .. • . .. . . . .. .... ... • , :;�a,;. � � . . . . . � • .... ��� • .. , .�v.�.���1�����i����ls�����������■ ■�����������0�����i���������� O_�������0�����I�1S�A���������■ ■����������OO��a������������� ■����l���������oi����s�����s�■ � i� "' : , � :5 '` �. _ _ _ . _ ---._ __ _ ..__ . . _ _ _ .� __ . x.;, " 4_ � ` - �. �° � . rT� �� , ,. ��, �_ � , - � �- _ � 0 � � a �r_.�/�ii `' j. _ � - X�; f , ���, : . �1� ; �.�.� ` ��.

In March of 1988, a request was made for a sPecial use permit to allow a garden center in front of the Menards store. The special use permit was denied. The storage/display in front of the Menards store appears to have evolved over time, without formal approval. The pBig Box" retail operations including Target, Walmart, Sam's, and Home Depot, have all expressed an interest in outdoor display. In these cases the City has declin�. As an alternative, the City has allowed alternatives such as garden centers which are integrated into the building�.s design and are designed to be architecturally 3 compatible. A clean front walk has been the preferred �1 alternative. RECA�II�NDED AGR'IONB: Staff reco�mmnends denial of SP �96-06 due to the potential of limiting access to physically challenged individuals, a potential for compromised safety of individuals and the materials stored/displayed, and the potential of aesthetic decline caused by the outside displays._ The petitioner does have the alternative of integrating the sales items into there operation in a manner that is consistent with the other retailers.

The s�e is already zoned S-2, Redevelopment District, but because � new devetopment proposal is being consider�, the S-2 Dis�ict requires Planning Commission� City Council, and HRA approval. By the time of the Planning Commission meeting, finro neighborhood meetings wiil have been he{d. On March 7, 19�, Dave Jellison from MEPC Americ�n Properties Inc. review� an initial concept of the Master Plan with the neighborhood. The HRA's legal consultant, Linda Fisher from Larfcin Hoffman, review�i the status of the HRA's work on the Indi'rect Source Permit from MPCA and the status of environmental review requiremerrts. Jim Benshoof, the HRA's traffic consultant, preser�t� the results of the updated traffic study and the proposed corffiguration of the Highway 65 and West M�re Lake Drive/Central Avenue intersection. A second meeting will be held on either April 18 or April 25 to present the proposed master pian and to answer additional questions about the development. The HRA has entered into a Contract for Exclusive Negotiations with MEPC American Properties. MEPC is r�ponsible for marketing the property and attracting a°phase 1° office proposal by August 1, i997. The proposed master plan is similar to the original Woodbridge plan in that corporate office with supporting commercial is proposed. The amount of office and commercial pro�sed however is less than originally contemplated. MEPC is proposing 582,000 square feet of office in 4 buildings (tallest one is 8 stori�) and about 89,000 sq�re feet of commercial. Woodbridge proposed slightly less than 749,� totai square fee� , I� Lake Poirrte Office Park Mast� Plan Process Mlar�ch 29, i 9� Page 2 MEPC is we11 respected in the development cammunity. They t�ve already had several corrtacts wi� irrte��� office and hotel users. They hope to initiate some tYPe of construction this fall. _ . The HRA will be filing for the Indirect Source Permit this mor�th. The permit r�uires an air qual�Y analYsis from the proposed developmerrt. The air quality analysis tras been complet� and reviewed on a preliminary basis with MPCA. Approval is anticipat� since the r�ults are far below MPCA thresholds. The traffic analysis supports the need for the irrtersection improvement at Highway 65 as was originaliy contemplated in 1987. The City app�ied for and has r�eived federal funding to construct the intersection (savings of $1 �500,0�), �� Because MEPC's proposa! is less intensive than the original request and because there have been no significant changes to the s�e which r�uire environmer�tal review, a new Environmental q,ssessme�t Worksheet is rrot required. The Council, �t its Apri{ 8� 1996 meeting, wilt � adopting a resolution establishing findings of fiact regarding this determir�ation. Linda Fisher is preparing this documerrt. �, If you have any questions, please feet free to call me at 572-3590: See you on May 1 st! :� M-96-153 �'�
