Bob & Mike Schroer, Bob's Produce Ranch APPROVAL OF OCTOBER 2 , 1991, PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES: MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Modig, to approve the October 2, 1991, Planning Commission minutes as written. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. CONSIDERATION OF VACATION, SAV #91-04, BY BOB'S PRODUCE RANCH: To vacate that part of 77th Avenue lying easterly of the northerly extension of the westerly line of Lot 1, Block 1, East Ranch Estates Third Addition, all as platted and of record in the office of the County Recorder, Anoka County, Minnesota, generally located at 7620 University Avenue N.E.

(11) of the Fridley City code, to allow garden centers or nurseries which require outside display or storage of merchandise on Lot 1, Block 1, East Ranch Estates First PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 16, 1991 PAGE 2 Addition, and Lot 1, BLock 1, East Ranch Estates Third Addition, and Lot 4, Block 2, East Ranch Estates Second Addition, except the East 200 feet thereof, also except the West 115 feet of the East 315 feet of the North 160 feet of said lot subject to an easement, all in Anoka County, Minnesota, generally located at 7620 University Avenue N.E. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Sherek, to waive the reading of the public hearing notices and to open the public hearings. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:31 P.M. Vacation Request Ms. McPherson stated the first request is to vacate a portion of 77th Avenue which was dedicated over Lot 1, Block 1, East Ranch Estates Third Addition, generally located on the northwesterly portion of the site. The petitioner is requesting the City vacate that portion of the dedicated right-of-way in order to combine it with the proposed redevelopment property. This area is currently unimproved and vegetated with a variety of native plant materials. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner is proposing to obtain an access easement from the property owner located to the north of the subject area in order to improve the access to that particular property as well as to create an access to the proposed redevelopment area. This access easement and the design of the driveway should be finalized prior to the issuance of the building permit. Ms. McPherson stated the proposed vacation does not have an impact on traffic patterns in the area. Currently, the City has only half of the required right-of-way dedicated and, in order to construct 77th Avenue from Main Street to the West University Avenue Service Road, the City would bisect the development site through the middle. Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed vacation request as it does not adversely impact the traffic patterns in the area, with the following stipulations: 1. Variance request, VAR #91-32 ; rezoning request, ZOA #91- 03 ; and special use permit request, SP #91-11, be approved. 2. The access easement and driveway design between the redevelopment area and the property owner to the north • PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 16, 1991 PAGE 3 be reviewed and approved by staff and executed prior to issuance of a building permit. Rezoning Request Ms. McPherson stated the second request is to rezone Lot 1, Block 1, East Ranch Estates Third Addition, from M-2, Heavy Industrial, to C-3, General Shopping Center District. This is the most westerly portion of the subject parcel. Located on the property is the west leg of the existing Bob's Produce building. Ms. McPherson stated there are three tests that must be met by all rezoning requests: 1. The proposed use is compatible with the district intent; 2 . The property can meet the Zoning Code regulations; 3 . The proposed zoning is compatible with adjacent uses and zoning. Ms. McPherson stated that if this parcel is rezoned to C-3, the proposed use is to allow a garden center with outdoor storage. Garden centers which allow outdoor storage are a special use in the C-3 district regulations and this would be compatible with the intent of the Zoning Code. Ms. McPherson stated the parcel can meet the district regulations as outlined in the C-3 zoning district; however, the parcel currently functions in conjunction with the parcels to the east and north. The petitioner is proposing to continue this use. The parcel should be officially combined with adjacent parcels. Ms. McPherson stated the rezoning would create a better compatibility of the subject parcel with the adjacent parcels and with adjacent uses and zones. The parcel has been functioning in a retail capacity since the construction of the original Bob's Produce Ranch facility. Retail sales are a permitted accessory use in the industrial district if the retail sales are in conjunction with a manufacturing or wholesale operation. That currently does not exist on this parcel, and the property is currently nonconforming with the M-2 district regulations. Retail sales would be compatible with the parcels to the east and compatible with the bank use on the west. Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request with one stipulation: 1. Vacation request, SAV #91-04 ; variance request, VAR #91- 32 ; and special use permit request, SP #91-11, be approved. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 16, 1991 PAGE 4 Special Use Permit Request Ms. McPherson stated the special use permit request is to allow garden centers and/or nurseries which require outdoor storage. Ms. McPherson stated the fourth land use request by the petitioner is a variance request heard by the Appeals Commission on October 1, 1991. The Appeals Commission did recommend approval of all the variances, except to reduce the width of a parking stall from 10 feet to 9 feet along the perimeter of the site along the east property line which abuts the west University Avenue Service Road. Ms. McPherson stated the subject parcel has had a previous history of special use permits. The most recent special use permit, SP #74-15, was issued to Frank' s Nursery & Crafts. The purpose of this special use permit was to review the original stipulations placed on the 1971 special use permit request. Frank's Nursery relocated to Blaine, and the space was occupied by Malmborg's Garden Center. In June 1991, Malmborg's closed this facility and consolidated their operation at their Brooklyn Park facility. Ms. McPherson stated the proposed special use permit request will continue the garden center use; however, Lyndale Garden Center is proposing to expand the existing outdoor storage area from approximately 34, 000 sq. ft. to 40, 000 sq. ft. The outdoor storage area is proposed to be enclosed by a 6 foot high picket fence which will run along the east, south, and west lines of the outdoor storage area. Staff has recommended that a 20 foot setback along the south property line be maintained which would match the setback for the parking area. This would ensure adequate separation between traffic and pedestrians, as well as provide additional area for landscaping and snow storage. The proposed outdoor storage facility would not conflict with traffic patterns as the traffic and parking areas will be separate from the outdoor storage area. Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends that bulk materials such as mulches, fertilizers, peat moss, top soil, etc. , be stored along the west portion of the property near the proposed building so as not to be visible from Osborne Road. Ms. McPherson stated there are other issues besides outdoor storage that must be addressed: Drainage Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner will be required to submit a drainage plan for staff approval prior to issuance of a building permit. Currently there is no existing storm water system that serves this particular site. The storm water will need to be drained off the site in a manner not to impact any adjacent properties. • PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 16, 1991 PAGE 5 Parking Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner is proposing 190 stalls. Based on the ratio of one space for every 150 sq. ft. of gross retail building area, the Code requires 220 spaces. This would be the most restrictive requirement. There is adequate area on the parcel in the outdoor storage area to provide the additional 30 spaces, should they ever be required. Signage Ms. McPherson stated redevelopment of the parcel will eliminate the current use of nonconforming temporary signs. Signage will be allowed on both buildings as well as on a pylon sign. The petitioner may propose a silo located between the two proposed buildings. Staff is currently researching if or how the proposed silo is to be regulated by the Sign Ordinance. Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the special use permit request with seven stipulations: 1. Variance request, VAR #91-32 ; rezoning request, ZOA #91- 03 ; and vacation request, SAV #91-04, shall be approved. 2 . The petitioner shall submit, and staff approve, a drainage plan prior to issuance of a building permit. 3. The petitioner shall submit a completed access easement with the adjacent property owner to the north prior to issuance of a building permit. 4. Bulk items such as mulches, fertilizer, peat moss, top soil, etc. , shall be stored along the west portion of the building. Only plant materials shall be visible from the public right-of-way. 5. The proposed picket fence shall be installed along the east and south lines of the storage area at the 20 foot parking setback and shall not exceed six feet in height. 6. A landscaping plan in conformance with the ordinance shall be submitted for staff approval prior to issuance of a building permit. 7. All parcels shall be combined into one tax parcel. Mr. Sielaff stated he is concerned about overflow parking when there is a big sale at either Malmborg's or Bob's Produce Ranch. Ms. Dacy stated she believes the petitioner has contacted the adjacent owners for overflow parking. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 16, 1991 PAGE 6 Mr. Bob Schroer stated he has made verbal arrangements with the adjacent property owner, Kennedy Transmission, for overflow parking. His busy times are weekends when Kennedy Transmission is not open. They have used the Kennedy Transmission lot the last few years. He has also used the empty Cub Foods parking lot for employee parking. They may not be able to do that this year. He has also contacted the property owner of the property to the north of the proposed Lyndale Garden Center which also abuts the right- of-way they are requesting to vacate. That property owner has been very congenial and supportive of the proposed changes. That property owner has indicated he would be happy to meet with City staff to put together a workable parking arrangement. During peak parking times, they will have some directional signs for overflow parking. Most of the employees will use the overflow parking, and the customers can use the back portion where employees usually park. Mr. Bob Schroer stated they do have a serious problem on the lot. A metropolitan main sewer line runs through the lot. So, instead of trying to change the sewer line, they decided to move his building to the rear and use the sewer line area as a walkway between the two buildings. With the silo, he wants to make a little park area for festival-type activities. They hope to use the silo for identification and signage. Mr. Newman stated the two businesses, Bob's Produce Ranch and Malmborg's, are very compatible. The garden center's primary season is March, April, May, and Bob's Produce Ranch's primary season is July, August, December. So, the proposed parking should work as far as primary parking. He believed there will be very few times when there is intensive use by both tenants at the same time. At this time, they feel the 190 spaces proposed on the site are more than sufficient; and Mr. Schroer has arranged some alternatives for overflow parking if it is needed. Mr. Betzold asked if the petitioner had any objections to the stipulations. Mr. Newman stated they do have a problem with SP #91-11 stipulation #7 : "All parcels shall be combined into one tax parcel. " He stated that with the current real estate market, it is almost impossible to get financing for any type of commercial development. It was staff's suggestion that they look at SBA-444 program, and it will work for them. However, the problem is that the building has to be owner-occupied. He suspected that they will have a separate mortgage on Bob's Produce building and a separate mortgage on the garden center building; consequently, that will cause a problem if they are required to combine all the parcels into one tax parcel. At some future time, they do anticipate platting the three lots into two lots. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 16, 1991 PAGE 7 Mr. Newman suggested the following amendment to stipulation #7: "All parcels shall be combined into one tax parcel, subject to the petitioner submitting a replatting of the parcel. " Ms. Sherek asked if the petitioner has given any consideration to hiring police officers to help direct traffic during heavy traffic times for special events. Mr. Bob Schroer stated they will be very cautious of that and will certainly work with the City to remedy any potential traffic problems. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Modig, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:20 P.M. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to recommend to City Council approval of vacation, SAV #91-04, by Bob's Produce Ranch, to vacate that part of 77th Avenue lying easterly of the northerly extension of the westerly line of Lot 1, Block 1, East Ranch Estates Third Addition, all as platted and of record in the office of the County Recorder, Anoka County, Minnesota, generally located at 7620 University Avenue N.E. , with the following stipulations: 1.

All parcels shall be combined into one tax parcel, subject to the petitioner submitting a replatting of the parcel. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Ms. Dacy stated that on November 4, the Council will establish a public hearing on the vacation and rezoning for November 18 , 1991. LRT PRELIMINARY DESIGN PLANS Ms. Dacy stated that last summer the Planning Commission, as well as the Environmental Quality & Energy Commission, reviewed the PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 16, 1991 PAGE 9 draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and made comments to the Anoka County Regional Rail Authority. The final EIS will not be distributed until December 1991 and the comment period is December 10-22, 1991. In the meantime, the County has authorized distribution of the Preliminary Design Plans. According to State Statute, that triggers a 45-day review period that cities have to conduct public hearings and tell the County by November 11, 1991, whether the City approves or disapproves the Preliminary Design Plans. If the City disapproves the Preliminary Design Plans, they have to tell the County under what conditions would the system be acceptable. Ms. Dacy stated that in her memo dated October 11, 1991, she covered a number of issues and gave the Commission a status update on some of those issues. One of staff's major comments was to ask the Rail Authority to compare the LRT system with an all bus system. The Metropolitan Council and the Regional Transit Board have undertaken such a study called the Transit Facilities Plan, and that is due to be published in February 1992. Ms. Dacy stated staff is still working with the Rail Authority on the fire and police access issues across the LRT tracks. The amount of tax base loss was identified to be responded to in the final EIS. Ms. Dacy stated there are a number of concerns about the park and ride sites at 53rd and 57th Avenues. During the EIS review, staff recommended some site plan comments, and the Rail Authority did comply and made some driveway adjustments. Staff also submitted to the Rail Authority the results of the community survey. Ms. Dacy stated this summer staff has looked at each of the proposed stations and some of the land use issues. To summarize, the station locations will start in downtown Minneapolis, proceed to University Avenue, 37th Avenue, 40th Avenue, 44th Avenue, 49th Avenue, park and ride sites at 53rd Avenue, 57th Avenue, Mississippi Street, Osborne Road, and Northtown. Staff looked at what is existing now, what could happen, looked at some goals, and made some pretty specific comments about each of the station areas. In the 1980 Comprehensive Plan, one of the objectives was: "They should ensure an effective choice of transportation modes to the City's residents. " One of the policies was: The City should support efforts to increase transit ridership and opportunities. The City should continue to promote park and ride sites within the City and support those sites with bike and pedestrian movement. The City should promote education efforts relating to ,transit opportunities. The City should work with MTC and Planning in developing alternative methods of transit service. Ms. Dacy stated one of the issues discussed at the Environmental Quality & Energy Commission the evening before, setting aside the issue of whether or not University Avenue is going to be an LRT • PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 16, 1991 PAGE 10 railway, was that it could be a bus-way where a dedicated right- of-way is reserved for buses. In that case, they would still need the park and ride sites and there would still be some of the same types of issues. Ms. Dacy stated the other goal that directly relates to the LRT system is: "The City should analyze regional transportation improvements to determine if the system will (1) improve localized movements within the community; (2) adversely affect the natural and social environment; or (3) adversely affect the overall economic well-being of the City. " There is a specific policy to support the Bikeway/Walkway Systems Plan in 1975 and amendments to that. Ms. Dacy stated that on page 4 and 5 of her memo, she tried to summarize some of the issues to help the Commission make a decision as to whether they want to recommend approval or disapproval of the Preliminary Design Plans. The EQE had a lot of discussion about this the previous evening. There are a lot of outstanding issues as far as staff is concerned: 1. The Regional Transit Facilities Plan still needs to be completed. 2 . The final EIS needs to be completed in December. 3 . Staff is continuing to work with the Rail Authority staff on the fire and police access issues across the tracks. 4. The commissions should review the goals and comments for each of the station areas and identify any specific comments which should be listed as an item to be addressed in additional stages of the LRT planning process. Ms. Dacy stated that all commission members are invited to the public hearing on Thursday, October 24, 1991, at 7 : 00 p.m. Mr. Saba stated one of the EQE' s main concerns was the lack of information in response to their concerns regarding air quality at park and ride stations, the bikeway/walkway system, landscaping, number of poles and spacing between the poles, screening and landscaping requirements, noise, vibration, etc. The EQE did not feel they had enough information to make any recommendation, either to approve or disapprove. An effort should be made to address these concerns. Mr. Sielaff stated the EQE had a long discussion about whether to approve the Preliminary Design Plans conditionally on whether their concerns, as far as the environmental aspects, are taken into consideration; or to not approve it at all. The EQE decided not PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 16, 1991 PAGE 11 to make any recommendation because of the lack of information available. He stated the design criteria is a big issue. Mr. Saba stated there should be enough information available from other operating systems to have some of these concerns addressed. Ms. Sherek stated that over the last couple of years, the Commission has brought up a lot of concerns, starting with the concern that the maps being used to base the plans on were out of date. No one has ever told them about where the Rail Authority got the demographics or how they determined the ridership models. She has not heard or read anything that has answered these questions. Why should the people who live in the neighborhood of the proposed station location at 53rd/University have their neighborhood disrupted when they do not need or want an LRT system? Some other concerns expressed by the Commission were the cross-town buses and other connecting transportation routes. Ms. Dacy stated she would like to invite Steve Wilson of the Metropolitan Council to a Planning Commission meeting, because the ridership forecast comes from the Met Council offices. He has the expertise to answer some of these questions. Ms. Sherek stated she would like someone to come to a meeting and tell the Commission how they built this model and how they built the model based on the people who live here now, not in 2010. If the people who live here now and in the next ten years are not going to use the system, then the system could fall into such disuse or disrepair by the year 2010 that it is not going to be viable anyway. Ms. Dacy stated that at the June Planning Commission meeting, she had distributed copies of a letter from Steve Wilson that lists six points of how they predicted the transit ridership. She will redistribute that letter and can also invite him to an upcoming meeting. Ms. Dacy stated that now is the time to make a statement about the proposed park and ride sites. If it is not LRT and if the Transit Facilities Plan indicates this should be a bus-way, they will have a dedicated right-of-way and they will be proposing park and ride sites. So, based on some type of demand between now and the year 2010, the City is going to have to provide some type of park and ride facility. Ms. Sherek stated she did not think the Commission had enough information to make any recommendations on the station area locations. A lot depends on whether they are looking at an LRT model or a mobile model that is not on fixed rails. If they are looking at an LRT model, then the station areas should be on one side of the road; but if they are looking at a model not operating on a fixed rail, then they do not have the same restraints. She PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 16, 1991 PAGE 12 would like to see the empty parking space on the south side of the Holiday Plus store used for parking. Mr. Saba stated another issue raised by the Commission was the request for a pedestrian overpass at Mississippi Street and University Avenue. That was not satisfactorily answered. Mr. Betzold stated he believed they should operate under the assumption that LRT is going to happen; and if it is going to happen, then they have to talk about how it is going to impact Fridley. Mr. Kondrick stated he has no problem with the station areas identified at 53rd Avenue, 57th Avenue, Mississippi Street, and Osborne Road, but he does have concerns regarding air pollution, noise pollution, overpasses, etc. It is naive to believe that the LRT will only service the people of Fridley. There will be many cars coming from outside the City, and these concerns, particularly air pollution, need to be addressed. Mr. Saba stated he agreed with Mr. Kondrick regarding the station areas. The Commission has discussed these locations before and has agreed that these are the locations they would like to see. His main concern is the lack of response from the Rail Authority regarding the Commission's concerns and being asked to approve the Preliminary Design Plans without the Rail Authority giving some strong consideration to their concerns. Ms. Modig stated they could approve the Preliminary Design Plans with the stipulation that the Rail Authority does address these concerns. Mr. Saba stated he also concerned about the fact that they are being asked to approve the Preliminary Design Plans before the Final EIS is published and the lack of adequate review time between December 10-22 after the Final EIS is published. That is a very busy time of year, and that time should be extended. Mr. Betzold stated he agreed with the issues regarding the fire and police access across University Avenue. Assuming they can resolve that access, he would agree with the station at Mississippi Street. From what he has heard from the neighbors, he would still go along with a station at 57th Avenue and try to utilize the space across the street at Holiday Plus if they can. Ms. Dacy stated she made note of the 57th Avenue station in her memo because there was a suggestion at the neighborhood meeting to have the station north of 57th Avenue, and the response was that area has been identified as a redevelopment area and to relocate it south of 57th Avenue is more compact and uses less land area. If the Commission feels strongly that the station should be north PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 16, 1991 PAGE 13 of 57th Avenue, then the Commission should say so now. Staff is recommending the sites are acceptable the way they are now. Mr. Saba stated he is really concerned about a station north of 57th Avenue and how that will impact future redevelopment in that area. MOTION by Mr. Sielaff, seconded by Ms. Sherek, that the Planning Commission does not have enough information on LRT as a whole to make any recommendation on the Preliminary Design Plans, and the Planning Commission recommends that the Preliminary Design Plans be delayed until the Final EIS has been released. The Planning Commission also recommends that the comment period for the Final EIS which is scheduled between December 10-22, 1991, be either extended or delayed until January 1992. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Modig, to reiterate the following concerns: 1. Fire and police access onto University Avenue. If the access is maintained, construction of the tracks should not adversely affect the turn-around of the fire vehicles and timing of Opticom systems as vehicles are trying to leave the station area. 2. The EIS include an analysis of the properties to be acquired for park and ride sites along the entire corridor and identify the amount of tax base loss to each community. UPON A .

RECEIVE SEPTEMBER 9, 1991, PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES: MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Sherek, to receive the September 9, 1991, Parks & Recreation Commission minutes. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED . THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Kondrick stated that at the meeting, the Parks & Recreation Commission made a motion to direct staff to draft an ordinance restricting dogs from the Community Park because of some problems. The problem is how the ordinance would address the situation of a seeing eye dog at the park. Ms. Sherek recommended staff check with the Minnesota Federation for the Blind, because she believed handicap-assisting pets are PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 16, 1991 PAGE 14 exempt from local ordinances which bar dogs. That may be a state statute. Mr. Saba stated he had read the discussion in the Parks & Recreation Commission minutes about an "Adopt-a-Park Program" . He stated it was his impression that the Commission was referring to the larger parks. His concern is for the smaller parks such as the Moore Lake Dunes area, Innsbruck Nature Center, and some opark e or trails at Springbrook Nature Center. With an "adopt-a- pa "adopt-a-trail" program, the only responsibility would be to clean. up litter in the park or trail. He stated the City should be encouraging citizens or groups to participate in such a program and then recognize them in some way. The recognition does not have to be a sign; it could just be recognition in the City newsletter. Ms. Sherek stated her children's 4-H group and a Boy Scout troop in Fridley have both expressed the desire to be involved in the clean-up of a highway. The leaders have decided not to do that because of the danger involved for the children on a busy street or highway. However, if the children could adopt a park or a trail along the river, they would be very interested. Ms. Sherek stated one concern expressed by staff in the discussion at the Parks & Recreation Commission was the fact that the City staff would have to pick up the refuse after it was collected in bags. She stated maybe all that is needed is to have a drop-off site, either at the City garage or another designated site, where the refuse could be dropped off. Mr. Saba stated another suggestion would be to have a specific drop-off site on a specific date several times a year where the refuse can be brought by these groups. He stated he really feels the Adopt-a-Park Program is very important, and it gets citizens and groups involved in helping maintain and keep our parks and trails clean. He would like the Parks & Recreation Commission to readdress this issue at their next meeting.

Site Located on the property is the United Stores building. The property is zoned C-3, General Shopping Center District, as are the parcels to the west, south, and east. I-694 is located to the north of the subject parcel. Analysis The petitioner is proposing to enclose a 23 ' x -251 (575 square feet) area within which canoes will be stored. The petitioner is proposing to fence the area with a chain link fence with rows of barbed wire at the top for security purposes. The height of the . fence cannot exceed eight feet, as required by code. • The proposed storage area. is located north of an existing .truck dock. It can be seen from the MnDOT right-of-way, as the south- bound Highway 65 exit ramp from I-694 is located north of . the proposed storage area. However, the topography is such that screening the storage area with other than vinyl slats would not be possible. In addition, the topography may require that a retaining wall be constructed. If necessary, the retaining wall plans should be submitted to the Engineering Department for review. . • • The storage area will not adversely impact traffic areas and may be screened by the existing. topography. Recommendation As the storage area does not adversely impact adjacent properties, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the special use permit, SP #91-12 , to allow exterior storage of materials and equipment, with the following stipulations: 1. The height of the fence, including the rolls of barbed wire, shall not exceed eight feet in height. 2 . If necessary, retaining wall plans shall be submitted to the Engineering Department for review and approval prior to construction of the fence.

The commercial retail use proposed is a McGlynn's Bakery outlet. The petitioner is also processing a lot split in order to split a portion of Lot 3 and combine it with Lot 4 . Site Located on Lot 4 is the former Pillsbury Frozen Food Processing Plant. The petitioner is proposing to occupy the building and manufacture bakery goods. The property is zoned M-2 , Heavy Industrial, as are properties to the north and south. There is C- 1, Local Business zoning to the west and M-1, Light Industrial zoning to the east. Analysis Sections 205. 18.01.C.2 and 3 of the zoning code allow commercial retail and service uses in heavy industrial districts. One section of the code limits the size of the tenant stall to 20% of the total floor area, not to exceed 3, 000 square feet, and the other section allows up to 30% of the total floor area, not to exceed 5, 000 square feet. The difference in the square footage can be attributed to the type of tenant to occupy the space. Section 2 is intended for a limited draw tenant who draws only from employees in the industrial building. Section 3 is intended for a tenant who draws customers from the public (see attached Planning Commission and City Council minutes) . The intent of the regulations also appeared to be for multi-tenant buildings, but the ordinance does not specifically state it. Staff interpreted the code to allow the petitioner to apply for the commercial retail use outlined in Section 205. 18. 01.C.3 because the intent of the retail bakery outlet is to draw customers from a large market area, and not specific to McGlynn employees. The code section has six standards which must be met prior to the issuance of a special use permit. Section 205. 18 . 01.C. 3 .a limits the maximum floor area to 30% of the building or 5, 000 square feet. The proposed tenant space for the bakery outlet is 3 , 000 - 5, 000 square feet which is within the maximum outlined by code. Section 205. 18. 01.C. 3 .b requires that the parking supply shall be in compliance with the requirement of Section 205. 18. 5 of the City Staff Report SP #91-13, McGlynn Bakeries Page 3 Code, and sufficient to support the full occupancy of the building. There are 220 striped spaces located on the property. The required number of spaces is based on the manufacturing/office/retail/ warehouse ratios outlined in the code is 239 spaces. The maximum number of employees on any given shift would be 120. Therefore, there is adequate parking on-site to provide for both employee and customer traffic. McGlynn also staggers the shift starting times in order to reduce the parking demand on the site. Further, there is sufficient area on site to expand parking areas if needed, and with the lot split more area is provided. Section 205. 18. 01.C. 3 .c requires that only wall mounted signs subject to the limitations of Section 214 of the City Code shall be permitted. Located on the building is a wall sign on the freezer stack which states "Pillsbury" . The petitioner will be replacing this with the word "McGlynn" . In addition, the property would be entitled to an 80 square foot free standing pylon sign. If the petitioner chose to advertise the bakery outlet on the pylon sign, they would be exercising a protected right. The intent of this code requirement is to eliminate multiple pylon signs on the lot occupied by a multi-tenant building. Section 205. 18. 01.C. 3.d states that the proposed use shall only be permitted when it can be demonstrated that the operation will not generate levels of traffic which reduce "the existing level of service" as defined by the Institute of Traffic Engineers on streets at intersections. Commerce Lane was recently reconstructed in 1989 to the City's industrial standards. The street was widened to provide adequate room for industrial trucks and to handle increased levels of traffic. As was stated earlier, the site has adequate parking for both employees and customers and the street has been designed and constructed to handle increased amounts of traffic. Section 205. 18. 01.C. 3 .e states that the proposed use, in the opinion of the City Council, shall. be compatible with the area in which it is proposed to be located. The retail use will be a small portion of the use at the facility and is clearly secondary to the manufacturing and processing uses. Section 205. 18 . 01.B. 1 of the zoning code allows the retail sales or service of products, manufactured or warehoused. Therefore, retail sales would be compatible with the manufacturing component of the facility. However, staff has required that the petitioner apply for and receive a special use permit because the products sold at the bakery outlet will not be entirely produced on-site. Some of the products may come from other McGlynn manufacturing facilities. In addition, they may also be selling pre-packaged items such as juice and milk which are not manufactured by McGlynn (see attached letter from Mark Rasmussen dated October 11, 1991) . .•... .. 1:._ .f.S.Y:aT Taa)a)7a)i)Al)iSU!)lfl>ifl)!Nf!>fYl>lf1Y1N52)INNNN.52NNNN)1NNWT253)IN)2Y253)2)17<N)k)lY.NNa)N{){TTYiaa)aYaai)a)a)vSJ a)a).)...)a 7[f.+a Y.Y.i). )a a)....a, ........... ......).. .._......).. • Staff Report SP #91-13, McGlynn Bakeries Page 4 Section 205. 18.01.C. 3 . f states that the building owner and/or agent shall be responsible for informing any perspective tenant that the property is zoned for industrial use.

One McGlynn Drive Chanhassen, Minnesota 55317 612-474-7444 612-474-9319 FAX October 11, 1991 Ms. Barbara Dacy Community Development Director City of Fridley Municipal Center 6431 University Avenue N.E. Fridley, Minnesota 55432 Dear Ms. Dacy: -This letter and accompanying Special Use Permit Application Form constitute McGlynn's formal application to clarify the operation of an Outlet Store at our proposed knew bakery in Fridley. Per our discussions, the City zoning regulations explicitly allow the retail sales of products produced at the site as an accessory use. McGlynn's application for a Special Use Permit is to clarify and expand this authority, as necessary, to conform with our proposed Retail Outlet Store. This approval is a contingency to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which has been provided to the City of Fridley. The current property owner, Pillsbury, supports this application. 1. Project Name/Address McGlynn's Bakery (Former Totino's Plant) 7350 Northeast Commerce Lane Fridley, Minnesota 55432 2. Legal Description See Exhibit A 3. Applicant McGlynn Bakeries, Inc.

Oleson, Group Counsel Telephone: (612) 330-4966 5. Surveyor Egan, Field & Nowack 7415 Wayzata Boulevard Minneapolis, Minnesota 55426 Contact: Jack Bolke Telephone: (612) 546-6837 6. Intended Use McGlynn's intended primary use of the facility will be as a bakery. Our overall use plans encompass maintaining industrial , warehouse, distribution, office, and retail sales facilities for use in the manufacture, fabrication, assembly, packaging, and storage of food, bakery and cake decorating products and materials; for storage and shipping facilities; for office purposes; and for the sale to the general public of bakery, food, and related sundry items. Ms. Barbara Dacy October 11, 1991 Page Three Intended Use (continued) This application relates specifically to the Retail Outlet Store which is proposed for the site. It will occupy approximately 3,000 to 5,000 square feet of the 9,680 square feet of current office area at the east end of the building. The primary purpose of the outlet is to sell excess bakery products produced by McGlynn's at this and other sites. Other items to be offered for sale will be secondary in focus and may change from time to time. Additional items would be added primarily as a convenience to our customers. It specifically is not our intention to broaden the line of products to an extent where the store would resemble a supermarket. Products sold at the store may include: - a. Any McGlynn's Bakery products, regardless of source of production. b. Other bakery and food products. • Examples: Croutons, specialized crackers or cookies, • holiday "gift" packages. • Note: We may occasionally even tie in special sales of other products with ours such as "pizza topping" to go with a sale of our English Muffins. c. Beverages such as coffee, milk, soft drinks, and juices. d. Items related to cake decorating, baking, and parties. • Examples: Cake decorating kits or components, cake decorating utensils, baking utensils, bakery ingredients, cookbooks, party napkins. e. Dairy products such as milk, cheese, and ice cream. f. Fresh, frozen, or canned fruits and vegetables to compliment bakery products. • Examples: Strawberries sold along with shortcake or angel food cakes. g. Miscellaneous sundry items. • Examples: McGlynn's logo sweat shirts, T-shirts, caps, glasses, etc. McGlynn's requires a Special Use Permit broad enough that we will not be restricted in offering innovative new items for sale to help meet our customers' needs. The Retail Outlet Store would be open seven days a week with hours varying depending also on customer need. As an example, our Eden Prairie Outlet Store currently is open 6:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. weekdays and 7:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. on weekends. Ms. Barbara Dacy October 11, 1991 Page Four Intended Use (continued) Attached is a rough drawing of where the Retail Outlet Store would be located within the building. A complete new survey of the property is currently being completed and will be delivered to the City of Fridley as soon as it is available. Detailed plans for the office and Retail Outlet Store are not expected to be completed until spring of 1992. The overall bakery is expected to begin operation in the fall of 1992. Certain operations, including the Retail Outlet Store, might begin operations earlier depending on the construction schedule. 7. Zoning: Current property zoning is Heavy Industrial M-2. 8. Land and Building Size: A complete survey of the property is currently being completed by Egan, Field & Nowack. A copy of the survey will be delivered to the City of Fridley when it is available. The following information is based on the prospectus provided to McGlynn's by Towle Real Estate Company who is the broker involved. • a. Original Parcel : 9.79 acre (483' x 883') , 426,635 sq.ft. b. Added Parcel : 1.0 acre adjoining parcel to the north (also currently owned by Pillsbury) . c. Building Size: Footprint 125,000 sq.ft (approx. 200' x 500' ) • Total Area 144,680 sq.ft. d. Land Coverage: 34% prior to addition of one acre. e. Parking: 220 striped spaces. 9. Anticipated employees: Approximately 285 within initial 6 months of plant opening. Approximately 15 employees will be involved with the Retail Outlet Store. 10. Landscaping/Parking/Building Appearance: McGlynn's does not currently anticipate any significant changes in the existing parking, landscaping, or overall business appearance. McGlynn's signs will replace Pillsbury signs and there will be a general "sprucing up" of the property appearance. Additional signage will be added specifically for the planned Retail Outlet Store. To the best of our knowledge, the property currently meets all City standards regarding parking, signage, and general appearance. Any changes by McGlynn's will be consistent with the manner in which these standards have applied to the property in the past. Ms. Barbara Dacy October 11, 1991 Page Five Landscapinq/Parkinq/Buildinq Appearance (continued) Regarding the Retail Outlet Store, McGlynn's will designate specific parking spaces, including handicapped, near the door for customers. We will add appropriate signage both on the building and near the driveways to both attract customers and clearly direct them to the store. Specific signage plans will be available in spring, 1992. I hope that this information is adequate for your needs regarding the Special Use Permit. If you have any questions, please call .

He stated the purpose of the ordinance is to create a more competitive atmosphere for attracting a variety of tenants in an industrial zone. Mr. Robertson stated there was extensive input and suggestions at the public hearing before the Planning Commission and those suggestions were reviewed and many incorporated in the draft ordinance before the Council this evening. Mr. Robertson stated the ordinance defines commercial recreation and classifies restaurants as Class I, II, III, or drive-in type. He stated it is proposed a Class I restaurant be allowed as a principal use and a Class II restaurant be allowed with a special use permit in a C-1 zone. He stated in a C-2 zone, it is proposed that all types of restaurants, not including drive-ins, be allowed as principal uses. Mr. Robertson stated the main modification in the ordinance is in the M-1 and M-2 zones. He stated the ordinance outlines what uses are permitted with a special use permit such as offices, commercial retail, service uses and types of restaurants. He stated maximum gross floor area and parking requirements for these establishments is defined in the ordinance. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if drive-ins were allowed under the C-2 zone . Mr. Robertson stated a special use permit would be needed for this type of restaurant. Councilman Schneider stated fast food establishments are classified as Class II restaurants so he felt they would be permitted. He stated it seems the key is the drive-in window. Mayor Nee stated he thinks of a drive-in as a restaurant like A & W where you stay in your car and the food is brought to your vehicle. He felt probably the term drive-in should be clarified. Councilman Schneider asked how the City could be sure a prospective commercial tenant is notified that this is a manufacturing district. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated tenants should probably be notified when applying for their food license. Councilman Schneider stated when someone applies for the special use permit to allow the commerical use in an industrial district, how do they know whether to apply for the permit, where the maximum gross floor area cannot exceed 20 percent or the permit where the maximum gross floor area cannot exceed 30 percent. Mr. Robertson stated the owner makes a choice when applying for the special -2- 00141 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL FETING OF NO/EMBER 9, 1987 use permit if 20 or 30 percent of the gross floor area would be occupied by commerical uses. Councilman Schneider stated he really doesn' t understand the distinction between the 20 or 30 percent floor area coverage. Mr. Billings, Chairman of the Planning Commission, stated the difference between the 20 percent coverage vs. 30 percent coverage, is that the 20 percent is directed towards services that are specifically oriented towards the industrial complex itself and may include uses such as a small delicatessen, barbershop or printing shop. He stated in the option for 30 percent coverage, it covers a broader service area than just specifically servicing those located in the complex and could include a facility such as a drive-in bank. Councilman Schneider asked the purpose of the two categories. Mr. Billings stated if someone, for instance, wished to have a Class II restaurant, the owner would have to apply for a special use permit for each specific tenant. He stated he believed this wording came from staff after they had reviewed several other ordinances from surrounding communities and some subjectiveness was used. Mr. Robertson stated if it is the owner's objective to provide the smaller level of service to serve the immediate vicinity and if the use is kept to 20 percent of the total floor area, there wouldn' t be much of an impact outside that particular complex. He stated if it is a larger use, it may attract more traffic. Councilman Schneider wondered why both 20 and 30 percent requirements on the maximum amount of floor area to be covered was needed. Mr. Robertson stated the Planning Commission and staff' s concern was the Council may want to review the larger commerical uses on a case-by-case basis. Mayor Nee asked why the Council would be involved in one special use permit and not the other. Mr. Robertson stated under the option for a maximum of 20 percent coverage, only one permit is required as long as the total commercial uses don't exceed this 20 percent of floor coverage. He stated under the option for 30 percent maximum floor coverage, each use requires an individual special use permit process. Mr. Richard Harris, 6200 Riverview Terrace, stated he was at the Planning Commission meeting when this ordinance was discussed. He stated the original proposal had some restrictions on size which is no longer contained in the ordinance. He asked if the ordinance covers all M-1 and M-2 properties in the City with no exclusions. Mr. Robertson stated the ordinance did cover- all -M-1 and M-2 zoning districts. Mr. Harris stated from his standpoint as a building owner, he felt the ordinance was great. He stated as a resident, he has some problems with it. He stated the City keeps talking about issuing special use permits to -3- 00142 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NCXEMBER 9, 1987 individuals, but he felt the permit goes with the property. He cited an example if someone, for instance, had a ball batting operation and obtained a special use permit to operate this business and the operator ceases the operation, if a new proprietor would have to apply for another special use permit if he operates this same business. Mr. Herrick stated it would be his opinion, as he understands the ordinance, if the use remained the same and at the same location, another special use permit would not be required just because there was a change in the ownership or operator of the business. He stated if the use changed, then another special use permit would be needed because these permits are granted for a specific use. Mr. Harris stated he didn't believe the ordinance covered this item as the permit would be to an individual and not the property. Mr. Herrick stated if the language is not worded in this fashion, it should be changed. • Mr. Harris stated one other concern is the affect this ordinance would have on commercial zoning. He stated this is kind of a rezoning without a zoning change. Mr. Herrick stated in some respects, this goes back to the way it was about 25 years ago. He stated if someone wishes to construct a commercial buildng on industrial property, as long as it is recognized there may be an industrial use adjacent, it certainly isn't hurting the industrial property. He felt, however, this ordinance is not that extreme. Mr. Harris stated from a building owner's standpoint, it gives a lot more latitude and an edge in the area of attracting business to Fridley. Ms. Linda Fisher, attorney representing River Road Investors, stated in May, 1987 she discussed with staff the possibility of 'a particular tenant locating in the River Road Investors complex. She stated this business was a delicatessen to primarily serve the employees of the business park. She stated it was found this couldn't be done under the existing ordinance and discussed with staff the possibility of an ordinance amendment. She stated this has resulted in the ordinance before the Council this evening. Ms. Fisher stated most cities are moving forward with ordinances that allow, in some manner, support services for industrial complexes. She stated she urged the Council 's support of this ordinance and felt there were appropriate controls to regulate the commerical uses. Ms. Fisher stated she does have a concern, which was expressed by the Council, regarding the definition of restaurants as it relates to fast,food and drive-ins and this probably should be clarified. She stated she concurs with the comments in regard to the individual tenant question and felt this question should be addressed in the ordinance. No other persons in the audience spoke regarding this proposed ordinance. MOTION byCouncilman Schneider to close thehearing.

CONSIDERATION OF FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE TO CHANGE THE ZONING CODE UNDER CHAPTER 205 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE, TO ALLOW LIMITED AMOUNTS AND TYPES OF COMMERICAL USES IN M-1 (LIGHT INDUSTRIAL) AND M-2 ( HEAVY INDUSTRIAL) DISTRICTS: Mr. Robertson, Community Development Director, stated several questions were raised regarding this proposed ordinance at the public hearing. He stated the first question concerned the definition of a drive-in restaurant. He stated the definition is very restrictive and is meant to apply to the • traditional drive-in where there are car hops and food is served and consumed by customers waiting in a parked car. He stated this type of establishment would not be allowed in these industrial districts. Mr. Robertson stated food establishments such as McDonald' s, Burger King, or Hardee's are not classified as a typical drive-in and would be allayed under a Class I or Class II restaurant in an industrial district with a special use permit. He stated the reason for the special use permit process would be to determine if any traffic or parking problems would be created. Mr. Robertson stated the second question raised was who would inform any potential commercial tenants of the industrial zone. He stated the Planning Commisson felt that the owners of the property should inform a tenant to relieve the City of any express liability. He stated this requirement is written into the ordinance, and on an informal basis the staff would notify each business of the zoning with their building permit application. Mr. Robertson stated the third question raised was the distinction between the 20 percent and 30 percent commercial occupancy categories. He stated in the 20 percent occupancy, the ordinance explicitly states that retail uses intended to be supplemental to the district are allowed with a blanket -4- 00005 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVE BER 23. 1987 special use permit. He stated commercial establishments, beyond those supplemental to the district, would require individual review through a special use permit. He stated this type of business would potentially draw from a wider market and produce greater parking and traffic burdens. He stated this type of use would be permitted up to 5,000 square feet for a business and up to 30 percent accumulative total commercial occupancy. Councilman Schneider stated he dich't understand why there is a difference whether a business serves the immediate area or a larger area and why the 20 percent and 30 percent categories. Mr. Robertson stated, for instance, if the 20 percent occupancy has been filled in an industrial complex and then another commercial establishment requested they be allowed to locate in this complex, the 30 percent occupancy provision would allow the Cbuncil to consider this request. Councilman Fitzpatrick stated it seems the people most affected by this proposed ordinance were in favor of it from comments made at the public hearing. - Councilman Schneider stated he wasn't opposed to commerical uses in an industrial area. He stated his problem is considering the special use permit and if a business would or would not serve as a supplemental to the industrial district. Mr. Billings, Chairman of the Planning Commission, stated if a developer applies for a special use permit to set aside 20 percent of his industrial space for commerical use, staff makes a determination if the business would be appropriate as a supplemental use to the industrial district. He stated if someone wished to locate a commerical use that wasn't supplemental to the industrial district, this request would be submitted to the Council. MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to waive the first reading and approve the ordinance upon first reading. Seconded by Councilman Goodspeed. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. 7. ITEM FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION MINUPES OF NOVEMBER 18, 1987: A.

On November 9, 1987 the City Council held a public hearing on the above referenced ordinance revision. At that time the following questions were raised: 1) What is the difference between a drive-in restaurant and a Class II restaurant? 2) Who's responsibility is it to notify prospective oormercial tenants of industrial zoning? 3) What is the distinction between the 20% and 30% commercial occupancy categories? 4) What is the status of these types of special use permits when uses change? The following clarifications are provided in like order. 1) A "drive-in" type restaurant is presently referenced in the C-2 and C-3 Codes under Uses Permitted with a Special Use Permit. This use differs from a Class II restaurant. At a drive-in, food is served to and consumed by easterners waiting in a "parked" car. This category covers establishments such as the. A and W Restaurant on East River Road. This type of "drive-in". establishment would not be allowed in M zones with the new ordinance. Because we are adding definitions of Class I, II and III restaurants to the Coder we also are adding a definition of a "drive-in" restaurant. Class II restaurants would include fast food restaurants and pizza parlors. these establishments would be considered for special use permit on an individual case basis due to a probable market beyond the district (see Class I restaurant) and traffic concerns. Defining fast food restaurants in terms of drive-up window was considered. This distinction was discussed with the City Attorney's office and rejected as it does not take into account restaurants with significant (25% or more) take out business such as pizza parlors and oriental food restaurants. • 2) The Planning Commission decided it should be the owners sole responsibility to inform any commercial tenants of the industrial zoning. It was felt that this requirement relieved the City of express liability. This requirement is written into the ordinance on an informal basis we would notify each business of the zoning with their building permit application. s1-1 and M-2 Clarification i• vember 18, 1987 Page 2 3) Commercial establishments supplemental to the district, with up to 20% occupancy of the building, are allowed with a blanket special use permit. Each prospective business under this category would be reviewed for type consistency at the time of their individual building permit. Commercial establishments beyond those supplemental to the district, described in category #3 would require individual review,,through a special use permit. These types of businesses would potentially draw from a wider market and produce greater parking and traffic burdens. This type of use would be permitted up to 5,000 sq. ft. for a business and up to 30% accumulative total commercial occupancy. In other words, a business with a blanket special use permit for 20% commercial occupancy would be permitted and additional 10% with Council approval of specific businesses. The total occupancy for the category #3 special use permit could also be 30% by itself. With the individual control afforded the City with category #3 special use permits the Planning Commission felt more comfortable with the additional 10% occupancy. 4) The special use permit would be issued to the property owner for the building with the #2 category of special use permit. The commercial tenants could change as long as they still met the criteria less than 20% occupancy and supplemental to the district. Category #3 special use permits issued for a special business i.e. a drive up bank would be transferable to another drive- up bank so long as the use was not expanded beyond the original approved square footage. This criteria could be monitored through the building permit process. I hope this answers the primary concerns. Additional clarification may be provided verbally at the Novenber 23, 1987 Council meeting.

Afii,I wow, Mum r ZONING MAP Staff Report L.S. #91-03 , McGlynn Bakeries Page 2 Request The petitioner requests that the lot split be approved to split the south 54 .73 feet of Lot 3 , Block 4, Commerce Park, in order to combine it with Lot 4, Block 4, Commerce Park, generally located at 7350 Commerce Lane N.E. Site Located on Lot 4 is the former Pillsbury Frozen Food Processing Plant. Lot 3 is vacant. The properties are zoned M-2 , Heavy Industrial, as are the properties to the north and south. There is C-1, Local Business zoning to the west, and M-1, Light Industrial zoning to the east. Analysis The petitioner is proposing to split the south 54 . 73 feet of Lot 3 to combine it with Lot 4 in order to provide adequate lot area for a future building expansion of approximately 20, 000 - 30, 000 square feet. The additional area equals approximately one acre. The new lot line will cross the truck parking area located on Lot 3 . An agreement between the property owners outlining how and when the nonconforming parking area will be corrected will need to be executed. A 50 foot 'drainage and utility easement is located along the existing lot line between Lots 3 and 4 (see site plan) . A portion of this easement may need to be vacated to accomplish the petitioner's expansion plans. The 'City has access to a drainage pond located west of Parcel A over the existing parking areas. Once the building expansion has been completed and the parking and driving areas have been relocated, the City will need continued access to the drainage pond. This can be accomplished by amending the current access easement and can be done at the time of the vacation request. The new building expansion will not be able to encroach closer than 60 feet from the lot line as required by the building code. The lot split does not adversely impact lot area, lot width, or setback requirements. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of the lot split, L.S. #91-03 , by McGlynn Bakeries, with the following stipulation: . Staff Report L.S. #91-03 , McGlynn Bakeries Page 3 1. An agreement between the property owners outlining how and when the nonconforming parking area shall be corrected shall be executed prior to filing the lot split. 2 .

To the best of our knowledge, the property currently meets all City standards regarding parking, signage, and general appearance. Any changes by McGlynn's will be consistent with the manner in which these standards have applied to the property in the past. 11.
