Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unammously and the public hearing opened at 7:48 p.m. Mr. Robertson, Community Developnent Director, stated these proposed ordir�nce revisions involve c�rage settt�cks, clinnFster enclosures, clinic and church �rking. He stated he would review a3ch proposed change seFarately. Garaae Setback- Mr. Robertson stated in regard to the qarage setback, this change was proposed by the Appeals Commission due to an increase in requests for varianoes fran residents to e�nd single car garages to double car cp rages. He stated this change would promote compliance with the two car garage re3uirenent and should help alleviate some of the variance requests the Appeals Commission reoeives for e�nsion of single c�rages. He statec3 the proFosed mde has been structured to try and antici�ate most combinations of circ�nnstances and insure a minimtmi of eight feet between two ad�oining -2- ��n�� fy 171 � • ' M � c$rages or 14 feet between living s�.ace and cprage, Mr. Newman, Assistant City Attorney, stated the ordinance provides for additions to earisting structures and not to new construction, He stated this is an attanpt to encourage two car garages without residents having to go through the variance process. He stated, presently, under the law, variances can only be granted if there is a hardship and the Commission is having a difficult time justifying the harclship. Mr. Baile� Tiller, 1535 Gatdena A�enue, stated he felt it was nice people muld have only a single garage as it may be a hardship on some to re�uire a cbuble cprage. No other per5ons spoke rec�arding this proposed ordinance revision aoncerning garage setbacks. Dtanrster Enclosures: Mr. Robertson stated the City recoqnized a problem with existing dumpster enclosures and in�nsistent enforoesnent of dumpster screening. He stated this �oposed change would clarify the type of screening needed and bring the City up to standards of other communities and Frovide improved �velopnent standards. Mr. Robertson rEV iewed the proposed changes o�vering the screening in various zoning districts. � Mr. Richard Harris, 6200 Rivexview �rraoe, felt one of the problens with the proposed change is the definitions which refer to outdoor trash or c�rt�ge storage receptacles, xe d�c�'t �elieve a dumpster was accurately def ined and should be clarified. As an example, he f elt the trash oontainers outside City Hal.l or at Menarcls muld be mnstrued as dumFsters rather than a trash container. Mr. Harris also referred to the trash �romxactor at the liquor store on Highway 65 and questioned if this would meet the re3uirenents of the ordinance. He stated he dichz't feel the City had much choice than to locate it facing the public street and it isn't screened. Mr. Haxris stated the proFosed changes in the ordinance do not mntain any reference to public lands or �rks where dinnpsters are also located He felt b� ado�ing these changes, there would be two sets of standards, one for public and one for private land. Mr. Qureshi, (xty Manager, stated it is proL�bly more appropriate to enfor� the eame standards at the liquor store location, but in the Fark areas, the situation is different because of the amount of oFen s�ace. O�tmcilman Schneider stated some screening could be provided in the �rks. Mr. Qureshi stated he felt the question is if it would be appropriate in these areas. Mr. Newman, Assistant Caty Attorney, stated he doesn't have a problen if these changes woulch't apgly to public property since it doesn't apply to � single f�nily residences either. Mayor Nee stated he felt the definition of dumpster needed to be more -3- COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCFI 23 1987 � specif ically 2kf ined def ine a d�unFster as opposed to a garbage Clinic Parkina: ' 1 and clarified. any device that receptacle. �Qf�.'�� '�, Mr. Rnbertson stated the inter�t. was to is mechanically d�nnped 1� a machine, as Mr. Robertson stated these changes distinguish the p�rking requirements between an offioe type use and medical facilities. He stated, presently, clinics are classified the s�me as offices even though the g�rking neecl5 are greatly different. Mayor Nee asked hav this change relates to the �rking nav provicled at Unity Hospital or tl�e clinics. Mr. RDbertson stated he didn't recall the exact figures, 6ut would furnish then. Mayor Nee stated he would like a further e�cplanation on wkr� "offices" are being deleted under the C-2 district. No persons in the audienoe spoke regarding this proposed change for clinic parking. Church Parkinqc Mr. Robertson stated the �rking ratio for churches is being changed to oorrespond more closely with that of other cities. �e ordir�nce refers to sections of the CR-1 district which applies the building and site requirenents to church develognents. He stated the Fazking requir�nent is at l�st one off-street �arking space for every three fixed seats or for every five feet of pew length in the main assembly hall. He stated additional Farking may be required for other activities such as day care, classroan and recreational activities. Mr. Robertson stated the Farking ar� is presently determined b� the floor area and felt a seating ratio to determine �arking is easier to adninister. No persons in the audience spoke regarding this propoyed change for church Farking. M7TION Ix Coimcilman F'itz�atrick to close the public hearing.

Mr, Robertson stated staff is satisfied with the plan as presented this evening. He state3 Mr. Waldoch has some reservations regarding the 1 landscaping and size of the Farking stalls. He stated this width is needed, haaever, because of the angle of the �.arking sFaces. Mr. Walcbch, the petitioner, stated he felt the �rking stalls were too wide, He stated he received a bid for the shrubs and trees and the estimate was $4,300 to $4,800 which dich't include planting of grass.

(7JNSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION RECEIVING THE PRELSMINARY REPORT ADID RECEIVING A RESOLUPION FImM'PFIE FRIDLEY HRP. RFAUESTING THE PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING REIMBURSEMENP TO TIiE CITY FOR THE COST OF PRLI7ECT ST 1987-3 (TABLED FEBRUARY 23, 1987) • Mr. F7ora, Public Works Director, stated the HRA has agreed to ounstruct the imprwenertt of Highway 65 and the iritersecting legs of Lake Pointe and Old Ceritral. He stated the project was desic�ed by Short-Elliott-Hendrickson who was retained 1� the HRA. He stated the HRA, at its February 12 meeting, passed Resolution No. 2-1987 requesting the Council proceed with this project and indicating their support and �yment of the msts. Mr. E7ora stated the City staff had two meetings with residents affected by this improvenent project. He stated the initial plan called for "no �srking" on either side of Old Central and it is now the concensus that �arkinq will be pravided along the east side of the impravenent. Coimcilman Schneider asked what would happen if this resolution is adopted and the O�tmcil decides thEy do not want to proceed with the unprc�venent. Mr. F'lora stated the Coimcil, ky resolution, authorizes advertising for bids and once these are re�ived, the� �uld be rejected, if Council determined the pro7ect shoulch't pro�ed. Cotmcilman Schneider stated he didY't want to get into a situatiott where the � Coimcil has to proceed if deve].opnent doesn't take place as planned. He felt the Old Central portion of the imprwanent is a hardship as it would create a burden to some of the residents living on this street. Mr. Nc�vman stated when the Cowicil receives the bids, they can either be awarded or rejected, and the only oblic�tion would be for the engineering work. He stated it is custanary to include in the bids a notice that they can be rejected kx the City and, if this language is contained in the bid sheet, the City can reject the bids and there would be no liability on the City's Iart. He felt tx aci�pting this resolution, it did not increase the 1 iabil ity to the City. Mr. �arson, 5803 Central Avenue, felt any improv�nent to Old Central was pr�mature as no one Imows haa much traffic there will be on this street. He also felt property should be taken on the west side af the street for any imprcvenent and questioned how far north the median would be constructed. He stated residents on Old Central feel the turn around or median is a safety hazard. Mr. Flora stated a minimtm of three feet would be taken from the east side of Old Ceritral and four feet fran the west side to allaa the �arkinq lane on the east, He stated the median would k�e 1,100 feet from the intersection and extend north to the eic�th house on Old Central. � Co�mcilwanan Jorgenson asked if they oould pxoceed first with tl�e Rice Creek Road intersection imprwenent in order to reduoe the traffic on Old Central. � e . L; i • � • ��r �� `, � ' Mr, Flora stated the HRA has retained Short Elliott-Hendrickson to review the intersection improvenent at Rice Creek Road, haaever, it would be difficult to acoomplish the improvenent this year as no fimds have yet been allocated for final desic�. Cotmcilwanan Jorgenson stated she felt it makes more sense to divert this traffic first and then �xooeed with the intersection improvenent at West Nbore Lake Drive and Hi9hway 65. Mr. Qureshi, City Manaqer, stated the HRA is comfortabl e with proceeding with preliminary plans f or the Rice Creek Road diversion, but the improvenent of the intersection at Hi�naay 65 and West Moore Lake Drive was scheduled first because of the construction commitment made to the developer. He stated if construction is delayed, the Rice Creek Road cliversion may he cbrie before the intersection imprwenent. Councilman Schneider stated before the contract is awarded for the imFswanent of the intersection at Hic�way 65 and West Nbore Lake Drive, he wants to be able to award the ountract for improv�nent of the Rice Creek Rcad intersection diversion. Mr. Flora stated the HRA has a aottimitment to upgrade Rice cYeek Road and it was phase two of the agreenent with Woodbridge. He stated the f irst commitment was for the Highway 65/West Moore Lake Drive intersectlon imprwenent in order to allaa a second building to be constructed on the ' develognent site. He stated the Rice Creek Road diversion also has to be acaomplished in oomplianee with the Indirect Source I�rmit ra�w.renent. Coimcilwanan Jorgenson stated she felt the Rioe Creek Road d�.version should be the first phase as there currently is a traffic problen at Rice Creek Road. Mr. Qureshi stated the Rice Creek Road diversion is a onmmitrnent made b� the HRA and everyone agrees to it, but because of some time delays with the Hic�wa3 DeFartment, it cannot be cbne this yeax. Mr. Newman stated he thouc�t the City and HRA should I�e prooeeclinq with the ass�nnption the developnent is goinq forward and indications have been reoeived that this is hapxemng. He stated before either the HRA or Co�mcil make a final oommitrnent for ftimds, there should be a defimte commitrnent the project is prooeeding. He stated, cl�rly, it is the understanding of the Farties that �iority in intersection imprwenents would be Highway 65 and West Moore Lake Drive. He stated if the develognent proj ect doesn' t proceed, it would then make sense to address the Rice Creek Road diversion. Cbtmcilman Schneider stated his oonoern is Old Central and questiotted if the project �uld proceed with the elunination of the improvanents north of Hathaway Lane. � Mr. Flora stated in order to provide for protected left-turn lanes, the median should be oonstructed in the first phase in con�unction with the intersection imprwenent, He stated as far as the turn-around, residents m �'i�T��9 . �, �� , . ��•« � now have to mntend with traffic from both the north and south when thz�r kack out of their driveways. He stated if the median was installed, they would only have traffic coming from the south and, therefore, traffic mwenents would be impzwed. Mayor Nee stated what he is hearing is Q�tmcil manbers are not in favor of the median and questiored if it is really needed, Mr. Newman stated if the City were to sul�nit a plan to the N�innesota De�rtment of Transportation with the type of changes the Council is suggesting, it would be a process that muld set l�ck the project a year. Mr. F7.ora stated the glans for the intersectian improvenent were initiated with the District 5 offices of the Minnesota DeparUnent of Transportation last September. He stated if there is a major change, it reqw.res the whole prooess to essentially begin ac$in. He stated if ounstruction is going to occur, it has to follaa MnDOT specifications. Coimcilman Schneider stated when options were proposed to the residents, they were told the plans weren't cast in ooncrete and naa it appears changes cannot be made. Mr. Qureshi stated the only prob].en is the procedures which must be follaaed to sa�isEy the Minnesota DeFartment of TransFortation's ra�uirenents and the timetabl e. � Councilman Schneider stated he has no problen with improvement of the intersection, but has a problen with the sequenoe of what the� are doing to Old Central. He stated sudc3enly the Council has an approved plan before Mn➢OT which the Cotmcil hasn't ap�oved and can't be changed. Mr, Flora stated the HRA retained the City as thei r agent to eaecute the oomract. He stated the HRA ap�'oved the plan and suggested the Council proceed with the plan at this time in order to have the improvement wmpleted this y�r. He stated the Cbtmty apprwed the plan for Old Central based on the plans sutmitted tg 5hort, Elliott, and Hendrickson fot the HkA. Mr. Qureshi suggested perha�s the improvenents muld be done in two phases with the first Fhase being the intersection improvenent at Highway 65 and West Nbore Lake Drive and the seoond phase would include Old Central, north of Hatharray Iane, and the Rice Cteek Road intersection. N�yor Nee stated he dich't feel there would be an e�ttra traffic load on Old Central. Mr. Flora stated the clesign is to deal with the peak a. m, and p.m. traffic hours. Nhyor Nee felt if it is found a median is needed, it �uld be mnstructed at a later date. Mr. F7ora stated everyone at the meetings identified problens on Old Central and felt there was a need for imprwenent and additional stacking s�ace. He stated in order to provide for the :afe mwanent of traffic, protection of � the left turn lanes is provided l� oonstruction of the median. -10- '�� '� • �. � � • •.«, ' Councilman Schneider stated the HRA entered into an agreement with Woodbridge and part of the agreement included modification of the intersection and Coimcil reviewed a mncept plan. He stated thEy naa have a detailed plan, but it wasn't his o�ncept of the improvanent, and it can't l�e changed because a delay would put the wntract in 7eoFarcY3. 1 � Mr. Qureshi stated staff will submit any plans the Council wishes to the Hic�way DeFartrnerit, but there is the question of the timing since an amended plan would probably have to go thxough another review process by the De�artrnerit of Transportation. He suggested thi� iten be tabled to the next Council meeting and have the traffic consultant, Short, Elliott, and Hendrickson, address the Coimcil at the Conferenoe meeting to revie�a all the options.
