E.: The Public Works Director explained the building to be located in the area North of 79th and West of Main Street. Ne said the representative of the Company, Mr. Peterson, was present at the meeting if the Council had any questions concerning the proposal. � f1r. Sobiech pointed out that the zoning in the area is industrial and the building is a warehouse. He said the sales from the warehouse would be conducted on a Saturday and Sunday and he felt that the proposed use of the building and operation would be favorable to this type of zoning. Counctlman Breider questioned the amount of square footage in the building. Pir. Sobiech said the bulding conta�ned 97,D00 square feet. Counci7man Breider asked the amount of parking required for usage of a bui7ding of this type. The Public Works drrector determined on a commercial rate this would be a requirement of 1,164 parking stalls. Plr. Peterson, Real Property Services, addressed the Council and sa�d he represented the people who proposed the operation in the warehouse. He explained this proposal to be a ware house sales outlet of a unique nature and explained there would be as many as 100 businesses with sales of surplus or bargain type items on the weekends. Counci7man Starwalt stated this is not an auction type operation. P1r. Peterson said no, �t would 6e a discount or bargain type of set up. Councilman 5tarwalt asked if this would be for tndustrial use. i4r. Peterson explained that this would be public ori,entated with a multitude of manufacturers and businesses selling materials and at barga7n prices. �1r. Richard Narris asked if the present zoning in the area was M-2 and the Public Works Director said yes. Mayor Nee aaid the Council had received an opinion from the City Attorney ind�cating that the proposed usage would be allowed. � The City Attorney explained that in an industrial area a warehouse is a permitted usage and there is a provision in the industrial zoning allowing incidentia7 sales by industrial occupants which is now being permitted. Fle said either proviston is allawed if they do not adversly affect the surrounding property and may be permitted. Fle referred to the operation of Wickes and Plywood Minnesota which is in industrial zoning with the same type of situation existant there. He said they are basically warehouses w�th sales out of the facility. Mayor Nee questioned how many acres of pav�ng would be required for parking. The Public Works Director pointed out that the estimated requirement would be approximately seven acres, but the stipulation would require the applicants to acquire 20 additional acres for use if the need arises. Mr. Peterson addressed the Council and explained being this is a unique operation, they had not determined the amount of parking that would be needed at one time. ile said with the stipulaiion for the acqu�sition of additional land, they would be able to provide up to 20 acres if �t is needed. Mr. Richard Harris questioned and availabi7ity of the area because of the traffic situation. Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre, 301 Ironton, if the proposed development would necessitate the extension of Main Street and the incorporation of additional signa7ization. Mr. 5obiech said no. He further stated that the streets in the area had 6een designed for � additional traffic to meet the proposed usage specifications. The City Manager said he believed the points raised by Mr. Harris to be good points. The City Manager advised the Council that the Public Works Director had listed approximately 10 items that could be stipulation in con�unction with the proposal, He said the matters discussed at the present meeting had been reviewed and questioned by the Engineering staff also. Ne said he felt wtth the large scale parcel development such as was proposed, the adverse effects would be at a minimum in comparison to the current type of development with small several acre parcels. He explained his belief that the proposal has many favorable aspects with the �iltty to plan the drainage of a large development and the reduction of traffic to weekends only. He felt the investigation of the question on the point of run off is well taken, but this had been questioned by the Administration also. Mr. Qureshi felt that the proposal a� �� 4 �1 � REGULAR COl1NCIL MEETING DF JANUARY 6, 1975 PAGE 12 would provide a development �nwhich the adverse effects of development of the area couldhe reduced in comparison to other types of operations. ���1ayor Nee questioned if there was a question confronting the Counci7 at the present time on the proposal. Ne asked the City Manager if he had brought the matter to the Council as a matter of advising them. � The City Manager said this was correct. He explained that the applicant had su6mitted a letter to the City in the hope of gaining some indication on the proposal from the City 6efore he went to the expense of preparing f�nal plans. He explained that the final plans would have to be submitted to the various committees and come bac�k to the Counci7. The City Manager said he believed the proposal is one that would work for the area. �layor Nee asked Mr. Peterson if he would be wi7ling to work out the questions of drainage and traffic with the City. Mr. Peterson said yes, he would be wi7ling to do this. He indicated this would be �us� as tmportant for the business to solve, they would not want to live with a drainage problem. i1r. Peterson indicated that in his discussions with the City Staff, all of the restrtction had 6een agreed to because they were mutually beneficial to the City and Company. Mr. Peterson listed several of the suggested stipulattons and indicated he believed they were tmperative for the business to follow to have a good operation. The City Manager said one requirement would be that if any additional right of way or improvements are needed for tte area, he would like the applicants to agree to pay the costs. He said the parking plan and landscape plans would have to be submitted to ihe Subcommittees and Council for final approval. Nlayor Nee questioned if there would be a need for the issuance of a special use permit. � The City Manager said there are no provisions for a special use permit in this type of zonin9. He said the action of the Council would be to issue the permit wtth certain condttions. The City Attorney advised the Council that there would be no provisions for the special use permit because this would be a perm�tted use. He suggested the requ�rement of a certif�cate of occupancy in this case stating he believed this to be a necessity. He said ihis would require the applicant to comply w�th the requirements before he is permitted to operate. The City Attorney continued to explain that the var�ous Boards and Committees could attach their suggested recommendations for parking and drainage, etc. and the Council could provide a formal agreement with the Company for compliance. lie said this would prohibit the sale of any property, the sales of material on any other day besides the weekends and holidays without the approval of the Council. He said if the provisions of the agreement or certificate of occupancy are violated, the cerf�ticate of occupancy can be revoked. Councilman Breider asked if there was a question before the Council at the present time that would take Couttcil action. The City Manager recommended that at the present time the Council receive the communication. He said this application had been submitted by a large operation and he was concerned that they would understand their investment commitment and 6e aware of the requirements the City would want stipulated. Councilman Breider said the City had been working very hard in the area proposed for � development. He said he would not want 20 acres of asphalt in any one area. Mayor Nee said the stipulation was to require the applicant to acquire the additional land in the case that it is needed at some future date. Councilman Breider questioned if this would be a dangerous precedent and he did not feel he would like to set such a precedent in this area. The Public Works Director said the st�pulation was not requiring the applicants to use this amount of land for parking, they were to acquire it in the case that at sometime in the future they would like to expand operations, it would be available. r-1r. Sobiech pointed out that there is almost adequate parking surrounding the 6uilding at the present time. The Public Works Director said ii was not known if the property to the east would ever be used for parking. u�� REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1975 PAGE 13 The City Manager pointed out that this would be the same requirements as Wickes, Plywood Minnesota and Holiday had complied with. The City Manager said he saw some positive sides of this proposal, as he had indicated earlier. He said with the acqu�sition of the additional property, there would be some property to control the runoff. He suggested the creat7on of ponding areas mixed with the parking lot in the landscape plans. He also suggested that the additional acquisition could either be used for construct�on of parking faci]ities or additional bui7ding constructton. Ne said in this case the City would have the opportunity to control the adverse , effects of runoff, and this factor could be incorporaied at the time of planning. He mentioned this type of large development would allow for more control of the adverse effects than that of the development of smaller parcels with small buildings which are surrounded by a strip of parking stalls and a strip of landscaped area. Mr. Peterson said he felt the points of Councilman Breider were well taken. He mentioned the hope that the industrual area would indicate the requirement for the parking space, but in this case he was not at liberty to say. Ife again explained that th�s operation would be the only one of its kind in the 7win City Area. He also sa�d he was not wild about buying more land, but if it is necessary to the operation in the future, it would be better than forcing on street parking. He said it may be possible to get by with the existing parking plus the on street parking in the area, buth they would not want this and neither would the City. He said the additional acquisition would provide for additional parking if this is needed. Mr. Richard Harris again ra7sed the point concerning the traffic in the area of Main Street and Osborne Road. He said he thought this matter should be reviewed by the Enrironmental Quality Commission and other 5ubcommittees. The City Manager said he felt this proposal had two positive aspects. He said the first was that the traffic into the area would be at an off peak period or on the weekends. Secondly, ne said, the development of a large parce] of land would allow some way of controlling the drainage of the area. He said there would not be 20 acres of parking lot, the area would be appealing with ponding areas and landscaping. � rie thought this could be planned so the area would be pleasing. Councilman Breider asked if there was some time table established for the project. N1r. Peterson indicated that they would 7ike to go ahead with the plans at the present time. He mentioned the advertising budget which has been established in the amount of $100,000. He said they would Tike to be operational in 30 to 60 days, �ounc�lman Breider questioned when the next Planning Commission meeting would be held. It was Tndicated that the next meeting wouid be January 22, 1975. The City Attorney said it would be possible to grant conceptual approval at this time contingent upon the conditions stipulated. He said it would be possible for the Administration, Boards and Commissions to work toward satisfaction of the parking and drainage plans, He said the item could be sent to the Boards and come back to the Council with a final plan for approval. He mentioned the Engineering staff would have to do some work on the plans also. He said the plans could include the need for immediate parking and also plans for expansion of the parking area if this proves to be necessary. He said if some decision is made on the conditions of development, this could be registered in a covenance with Anoka County, and these conditions could apply to the certificate of occupancy. He said the plans and satisfaction of conditions would have to be agreed to before any certificate of occupancy would be issued. Mayor Nee agreed with the points of the City Manager stating the larger the parcel, the more possible it would be to obtain an adequate drainage plan. He said this would be better than the development in fragments as is now being done in this area. � Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre said she believed th�s to be a problem area and thought there may be some problems in the drainage of the Stonybrook area. Mrs. �an Seeger, 324 Ironton, thought the point concerning the development of a larger parcel was valid. She did question the matter of the additional traffic, The City Manager pointed out that the property is zoned for a certain use. He again explained that if the property is not developed in the proposed manner, it would be developed in small parcels with surrounding parking areas, etc. He again mentioned that if there was development of industry in the area, there would be add�tional traffic at all times, not �ust on the weekends. He said he thought the City could work wzth this type of large development. � � � ,��.1 �! REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 1975 PAGE 14 MOTION by Councilman Breider to instruct the Administration to pursue the plans for the development as requested by Real Property Services, working out the drainage problems and keeping in mind that there wi71 not be 20 acres of asphalt for the parking lot, and that the applicant work up a plan and present the plan to the Planntng Commission on the 22nd of January and at the same time that the adjacent property owners would be notified and the property owners in the area of Stonybrook be notified so they can be present at the consideration of the pro,7ect Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Mr. Dick Brama, owner of the build�ng in question, addressed the Counci] and said they are at the point in construction of the bui7ding where they would have to know how to finish the inside of the building. He said he felt in this case there was a hardship in that if this operation was not going to use the building, it would be finished in the speculative off�ce warehouse style which would be different than was the proposal at the present time. i�1r. Brama requested that the item appear at the Planning Commission the following evening because of this hardship. Mayor Nee questioned if an affirmative vote on the motion on the floor would 6e a general type of concurrence or conceptual approval. The City Attorney said if the property is developed in this line, plans wou7d have to 6e presented. He said some indication of the Council's decision would be an aid to the applicant in which way to proceed. He suggested the applicant work wtth the Administration for formulation of the plans and modifications if this is necessary. He said this could be controlled with conceptual approval. Councilman Breider stressed that Mr. Peterson would have to come up with parking plans and drainage plans, etc. before there is any agreement on the part of the Council. He stated, the Council could just not agree to the development without some plans. UPON A VDICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Mr. olson, Real Property Services, addressed the Council and questioned the ttme element they were facing. The City Attorney suggested that the developers and the owners of the building meet with the administrative staff the following morning.
