extend north and is presently blocked by the trailer court south of Fireside

COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 3. 7987
Mr. Robertson stated the question of aceessibility for the entire area was
raised at the Planning Commission meeting. He stated property owners to the
north of this parcel were at the Planning Commission meeting and questioned
if the vacation of 73-1/2 Avenue would allow adequate aecess for development
of their property. Mr. Robertson stated for this reason, the Planning
Commission tabled the vacation request in order for staff to provide
information regardin� an alternative aecess plan for other developers along
73-1/2 Avenue. He stated the Planning Commission recommended approval of
the special use permit, with 1k stipulations, by a split vote.
Mr. Robertson stated in the liinnesota Department of Transportation's
long-range plan, they would like to close the 73-1/2 Avenue access to
Highway 65.
Mr. Flora, Publie Works Director, stated it would be desirable to extend
Viron Road to the rear of the City's well house ta connect to the existing
road.
Mayor Nee asked who would receive the property if the road is vacated. Mr.
Flora stated normally one-half goes to the property owners on each side. He
stated sinee the City is the owner, the property would go to Rapid Oil
Change. He stated part of the negotiations for development include the
requirement to widen the service drive and the City would be getting an
easement from Rapid Oil's property for additaonal widening and they would
pay the cost for the widening. He stated he understands this is one of the
stipulations of the special use permit.
Mr. Robertson stated staff hasn't received a formal ob,7ection to this
stipulation, but Mr. Gilbertson, representang Rapid Oil Change, was present
this evening to answer any questions.
Gouncilman Schneider stated it seems the concern of adjacent property owners
was access if the vacation is approved.
Mr. Robertson stated they were primarily concerned that the service road
have adequate lanes and the frontage road should proceed north to Viron
Road. He stated it was felt if 73-1/2 Avenue is vacated, before the service
road is extended, aecess may not be adequate to ssrve their properties.
Mayor Nee Pelt the vacation should be considered in conjunetion with these
requests for a special use permit and variances.
Mr. Robertson stated if the aacation is approved, the variances would be
significantly reduced, however, the plan would work without the vacation,
but more variances would be required. He stated the special use permit is
before the Council at this time so the petitioner could begin construetion.
Mr. Mark Gilbertson, representing Rapid Oil Change, stated their original
proposal did not take into account any plans for the vacation of 73-1/2
� Avenue. He stated City staff advised them the Minnesota Department of
Transportation wanted to cloee off 73-1/2 Avenue and the road would have to
be vacated. He stated they were asked if they would petition For the
-5-
p���,r ��.
COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 3. 1987
� vacation, to which they agreed, but would like the special use permit
approved, as he understands the vacation process will take some time.
Councilman Schneider stated he understands the property is 45� under lot
coverage requirements of the code, without the vacation.
Mr. Gilbertson stated they have worked with City staff to devise a site plan
that would work, if the vacation is not approved. He stated if the vacatxon
is approved, it would only involve a simple procedure of changing the
driveway. He stated the City was accommodating them so they could begin
construction and they are trying to aceommodate the City in the vacation of
73-1/2 Avenue.
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Gilbertson if Rapid Oil Change agrees to the
stipulations recommended by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Gilbertson stated their only objection would be to Item �ki� regarding the
assessment to widen the road. He stated it is their position that the
volume of traffic they will generate (40 to 50 cars per day) wouldn't
increase the traffic congestion in the area to warrant widening the road.
Mr. Gilbertson stated at this point the pro�ect, along with the vacation
which increases their costs, is over budget. He stated he would like to
request the Couneil approve the special use permit contingent on their
working out an agreement with the City on the cost of widening the road.
� Mayor Nee felt further discussion is needed with the staff before action is
taken by the Council.
Couneilman Schneider stated both the Appeals and Planning Commissions are
very positive towards this development, but felt there should be an overall
plan for the area. He stated if Viron Road cannot be extended, alternatives
should be addressed.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated it seems it would be good pl anning to
extend Viron Road. He stated he felt the immediate question is the amount
of right-of-way available for this extension and how it can be obtained.
Mr. Robertson stated there are some procedural questions the Couneil may
wish to address this evening. He stated in order to proceed with a
vacation, there must be a publie hearing. He stated the Planning Commission
ta6led the vacation request to their August 5 meeting in order to address
some of the access problems. Mr. Robertson stated the Couneil could set a
public hearing for August 24, 1987 on the vacation and they wouLd, at that
time, have the Planning Commission's recommendations. He stated if the
accessibility questions were satisfactorily answered, the Couneil could
proceed with a decision on the special use permit so the petitioner would
not be delayed several more weeks.
Couneilman Sehneider stated he has a problem with the special use permit, if
� the vacation is not approved, because he felt there was too much lot
coverage for a small parcel. He stated with the vacation, it would be much
more reasonable.

THE MINIMUM ALLQrIABLE PARKING STALL WIDTH FROM 10 FEET TO 9

RIGHT-OF-WAY FROM 20 FEET TO S FEET, TO ALLOW THE CON-

nun �ll atmrmnu�c crrnnnrrennr un �u mza� cataF nFTUr. FF,n1
Mr. Robertson, Community Development Director, stated there are two
variances requested, one is to reduce the parking stall width from 10 to 9
feet and the other is to reduce the setback from a street right-of-way from
20 to 8 feet. He stated when the Appeals Commission considered the vax ianee
for the set6aek, staff was asked to review any ramifications on the freeway
widening. He stated this variance should have no impact. Mr. Robertson
stated in regard to the variance to reduce the parking stall width from 10
to 9 feet, this would be entirely for employee parking at LaMaur. He stated
he felt the Appeals Commission's recommendation for approval is consistent
with actions taken in the past, as Unity I3ospital had made a similar request
whieh was approved. He stated two stipulations are recommended as follows:
(1) petitioner work with staff to reach a water line installation agreement;
and (2) petitioner work with staff to achieve an approved landscape plan.
Mr. David Hunt, Project Manager for Opus Corporation, stated they are the
design builders working with LaMaur in expansion of their facil ities. He
' stated Mr. Edwards from LaMaur would be here shortly to answer any questions
from the Council.
Mr. Hunt stated in regard to the variance to reduce the setback from a
street right-of-way from 20 to 8 feet, the t9innesota Department of
Transportation's fence is in the vicinity of 100 feet, more or less, from
the center of the ramp to the right-of-way and the widening would add one 12
foot lane. He stated, therefore, the Highway Department would be taking 72
to 2� feet of this 100 feet whieh would still leave over 50 to 75 feet
between the green space and the current road. He stated there are pl ans to
landscape between the parking and fenee and trees will buffer the parking
area. He stated there is also quite a grade difference beween the ramp and
LaMaur's parking lot so the lot isn't very visible from the freeway ramp.
Mr. Hunt stated the variance to reduee the width of the parking stalls from
10 to 9 feet is requested due to the scarcity of land. He stated they are
able to meet the code requirement for 5�+D stalls on the site, but if the
stalls were 16 feet wide, it would greatly reduce their green area. He
stated 9 foot wide stalls would give them 542 parking spaces and with 1D
foot wide stalls, they could only aecommodate 500 vehicles without expanding
into the green space. Mr. Hunt stated LaMaur feels they want to keep a
park-like setting as much as possible.
Mr. Hunt stated Mr, Heppelman, Traffic Engineer with BRW, Inc. was present
this evening if the Council wished to review parking width requirements in
' neighboring communities.
Councilman Fitzpatrick felt if there was an option to give a variance on the
�
��� ��,
COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 3, 1987
1 number of stalls versus the width of the stalls, he would prefer a variance
on the nwnber of spaces required.
Mr. Hunt stated they uould prefer to not have the option to reduce the
amount of parking stalls as the entire area is being repaved and would
rather have the 9 foot wide stalls to avoid any changes which may have to be
made in the future.
Councilman Fitz patrick stated he is aware of Mr. Heppelman's presentation at
the Appeals Commission meeting and what other neigh6oring communities
require as far as parking stall widths. He felt in this case, the parking
is used by the employees, whose vehicles remain parked during their work
hours, and there is not a fast parking turnover.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to grant variance request, VAR 4k87-25, to
reduce the minimum allowable parking stall width from 10 feet to 9 feet and
reduee the hard surface setback from a street right-of-way from 2Q feet to 8
feet with the following stipulations: (1) petitioner work with staff to
reach a water line installation agreement; and (2) petitioner work with
staff to achieve an approved landscape plan. Seconded by Councilman
Goodspeed. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to receive the minutes of the Planning
� Commission meeting of July 22, 1987. Seconded by Councilman Fitz patrick.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee deelared the motion carried

DISTRIBUTION CENTER:
fi)p7:1
Mr. Robertson, Community Development Director, stated the Couneil has a copy
of the staff's report regarding findings of fact and conclusions for
Target's Northern Distribution Center expansion dated July 28, 1987. He
stated the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was submitted to 14
reviewing agencies and published in the Environ[aental Quality Board Monitor.
Mi^. Robertson stated three of these ageneies responded with written comments
and all indicated the project should not require further environmental
review through the envinonmental impact statement process. He stated the
City has the sole authority to decide whether the EAW addresses
1 environmental eoncerns.
Mr. Robertson stated the issues are basically: (1) wetl and removal and
�
���;��' �
COUNCIL MEETING OF AIIGUST , 1987
1 storm water drainage; (2) aecess to Locke Park; (3) increased traffic flow;
and (4) pollution. He stated implementation oF the project will cause
destruction of a two plus aere type 3 wetland and two slightly smaller
wetland areas not having standing water. He stated neither the DNR nor City
have regulatory control over these wetland areas as none of them exceed the
minimum size requirement of 2.5 acres. He stated although there is a loss
of wetland, no endangered or threatened species will be displaced and a
second holding pond wauld be developed on the northwest corner of the site.
Mr. Robertson stated a wetland alteration approval and storm drainage plan
has 6een granted from the Rice Creek Watershed District. He stated the
developer is preparing application materials to be submitted to the Arary
Corp of Engineers and Fish and Wildlife Service related to filling of these
wetlands and any changes or conditions which result from this permit process
wi11 be forwarded to the DNR for their comments.
Mr. Robertson stated the vacation of Able Street impairs access to Loeke
Park from the Melody Manor neighborhood. He stated the developer has agreed
to provide a bikeway/walkway easement and path to provade access to Locke
Park along the western edge of the proposed site.
Mr. Robertson stated the increased traffic flow is minor compared to the
volume carried on University Avenue. He stated the overall traffic flow is
expected to decrease upon completion of the Northtown bridge across the
Mississippi River.
� Mr. Robertson stated the developer has agreed to provide a 200 foot setback
along the northern property boundary to preserve existing vegetation as a
buffer between the site and Melody Manor neighborhood. He stated this
buffer will help to isol ate on-site consiruction noise as well as daily
operational disturbances. He stated there will be a 130 foot easement along
the southern boundary to buffer the development from Locke Park and 20 acres
of wooded area to the west will also provide a buffer zone. He stated to
the east, the present Target facilities are adjacent to Highway 65.
11.
Mr. Robertson stated the Metropolitan Council concurred that the EAW is
complete and aecurate. He stated the Minnesota Department of Transportation
stated they anticipate the project would cause no adverse impact. He stated
the Department of Natural Resources raised the wetland issue, but feels the
arrangements made with the Army Corps of Engineers and Fish and Ylildlife
Service will satisfy their concerns.
Mr. Robertson stated staff is recommending the Council consider adoption of
this resolution.
