and 4, Block 2, and Lot 1, Block 4;and Outlot Rr Great North�rn Industrial Center,

UPO1V A VOICE VO_TE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPER50N GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HEARING OPEN AT 9;35 P.M.
Mr. Robinson s�ated the property was located north of 51st and east of Fast
River Road and extended to and included four lots north of 53rd. The property
was zoned P1-2, heavy industrial. The proposed development included four
phases of construction. The first building to the north was completed and was
� substantially r�ccupied. The second building was under construction.
Mr. Robinson stated the special use permit, which was a blanket Special use
permit, would include a percentage of office in all of these buildings in an
industrial zone.
PLI�NNING CON�'IISSION MEETING, JANUARY 8, 1986 PAGE 2
Mr. Robinson stated there was approx. 102,000 sq. ft. in the first building.
The original plan had a 70% office ratio/15% manufacturing/15% warehouse. This
was approved at that time because this was a spec bu-�lding. In actuality,
the building has leased up primarily office. He stated there was a data she.et
in the agenda which detailed the square footage of office for each of the
tenants. He stated 333 stalls were required with the original 70% office ratio,
but that has now been increased to 373 with the increase in office. Because
of the increase in office, they have been a61e to eliminate a lot of loading
doors in the back and have been a61e to increase the stalls to 373. Staff
feels there will be no problem and recommends approval of the special use
permit with two stipulations:
1. City will monitor future tenant occupancy and corresponding
parking demand; limits on office use may 6e imposed if parking
problems become apparent
2. Special use permit to be reviewed in August 1986.
f�lr. Belgarde stated that in his calculations, he came up with 340 req�ired stalls as
opposed to 373. They were 93% leased. Of that 93%, 81/ was office and 19%
warehouse. Their own internal method of calculating how many stalls they
would like to have showed about 346. He stated parking was a great concern of
theirs. It was very important to them to not underpark any of their projects.
They have even hired a parking consultant to make a study of the parking in
^ some of their other projects.
Mr. Robinson stated Staff could recalculate this number, but either way, there
was r�ot a problem with the number of parking stalls.
Ms. Gabel asked how the situation was now? Did there �eem to be ample parking
spaces?
Mr. Belgarde stated they generally have about 40-50 stalls that are not used
around the peak part of the day which is between 10:00-12,00 a.m.
Mr. Robinson agreed. He stated Staff was out there that day, and there were
approx. 40-50 stalls unoccupied. Staff does not anticipate any problem.

Per Section 205. ., C, of t e Fri ey�City Code to allow offices not
associated with a principal use on Lots 1, 2 and 12, Block 2, Paco Industrial

MOTION BY h7R. G7ELLAN, 5ECONDED BY 1�2. KONDRICK, TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE,.CHAIRPER50N GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HEARING OPEN AT 7:52 P.M.
Mr. Robinson stated this property was located west of Commerce Circle and south
of 73rd, It was zoned light industrial and was surrounded by other indu�trial
property with the exception of the property to the east which was C-2, corrmiercial.
Mr. Robinson stated this request was similar to item #1. The unemployment
office was considered an office type use in an industrial complex. It had
approx. 11,000 sq. ft. and had a substantially higher parking demand than
normal industrial or even a normal office complex would need. Staff had done
an analysis of the existing parking on page 18 of the agenda. Of a total of
359 parking stalls which are provided, 206 are adjacent to the building and
153 are on the lot to the south. 1-99 of the spaces were allocated to �hr�ee
maj or tena�nts . ' " -
Mlr. Robinson stated the parking requirements for the other tenants were 194
stalls. The total then gave them a negative 34. However, inspection had
revealed that there did seem to be enough parking. The whole area, in general,
was suffering a parking problem with the construction of the U.S. Swim & Fitness
Center across the street contributing to the general overload.
Mr. Robinson stated Staff would recorrmiend the special use permit be approved
with the following stipulations:
1. Special use permit for Minn. Dept. of Jobs and Training only.
2. No further office tenants will be allowed unless a corresponding
drop in parking demand occurs from other tenant changes.
3. Bring directional signage into code compliance.
Ms. Gabel stated she had driven out there. She stated there was plenty of �
parking in the south lot, and that did not seen to be a problem, but the
signage was definitely part of the problem. Qesides the dire�tional signage,
the signage on the build-ing was worse yet. She almost felt the City should
probably look at a whole signage package.

PLANNICJG COMP1ISSION MEETING, JANUARY 8, 1986 PAGE 4

Mr. Gary Sorenson, Manager of the Unemployment Office, stated part of the
problem was a bureaucratic one. Gdhen they moved into the building, they were
supposed to have large f ace wall signs. Just prior to their moving in, the
new corrunissioner decided to get a new logo and the name was recently changed,
so they have been waiting for 2-3 months for new signs with the new logo.
As soon as they receive those signs, the signs will go up on the building so
the office area is clearly identifiied.
Mr. Sorenson stated that in terms of the signs out front, he has talked with
the landlord and has made some suggestions for signage wording that would be
more appropriate and more directive. He was hoping these could be taken care
of very shortly so most of the pro6lems could 6e resolved.
Mr. Michael Perkins stated h� represented bJalsh Co., the owner of the building.
He stated they feel the park�ing is adequate. They have had some problems with
signs, but they are willing to work with the City and the Dept. of Jobs and
Training to get those signs right. They feel the only problem is the right
wording and the right directions.
Mr. Perkins stated he had a little problem with stipulation #2. He stated
they have about 2,000 sq. ft. next to the Dept of Economic Security. It was
part of the original Target office space. Since it was already built out for
office space, it was their intention to leave it as office space. They would
� consider it a aight office use, and they have potentially allocated six parking
spaces in front of the building for that.
Mr. Robinson stated that additional office tenant would also require a special
use permit so he felt they could proceed with this special use permit with
the stipulations. He suggested the follovring wording be added to stipulation #2.
"with the exception of the current 2,000 sq. ft. of vacant office space which
may be considered for a special use permit".
Mr. Perkinds stated he had no problem with the word�ng suggested by Mr. Robinson.
Ms. Gabel stated she would like to see this special use permit reviewed in a
year to see what the situation is at that time. She was not so concerned about
enough parking space as she was in seeing that the problems that currently exist
are worked out.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPER50N GABEL DECLA.RED THE PUBLIC
HEARING OPEN A2' 8:18 P.M.
Mr. Robinson stated this property was located west of Old Central and south
of Mississippi St. It rdas a sifigle f amily home and was zoned R-1. The major
portion of the lot (to the rear) was zoned C-1, commercial. The adjacent
restaurant was zoned C-2, and the area just to the immediate west was R-2
zoning; however, much of that R-2 was single f amily in use.
P�r. Robinson stated the proposal �vas to use the house (approx. 1,900 sq. ft.)
as a boutique/small retail operation. This property does meet the C-1 code
requirements in lot area and setbacks, and Staff was recommending the following
stipulations :
1. Business shall be open no later than 8;00 p.m.
2. Driveway from Mississippi St. shall be "enter" only;
directional sign to be provided.
3. Hard surface curbed parking spaces to be provided.
4. Joint parking and driveway easement with Sandees Restaurant

6. Provide landscaping to screen parking from Mississpii St.
7. Provide screening fence between rezoned property and
residences to the west.
8. Provide performance 6ond in the amount of $2,000.
M. Robinson stated there were some additional stipulations that would be
handled with the building permit, and those were listed in a letter to
Mr. Tom Brickner from Mr. Darrel Clark dated Nov. 25, 1985.
Ms. Margaret Brickner stated she had pictures of the home and pictures of
other homes she has converted into boutiques.
Ms. Brickner stated they would mainly have handmade items that were brought in
on consignment. They would also 6e sell�ng a select group of retail items.
The hours would be from pro6a61y 11:00 a.m. - 7:30-8:00 p.m., Mon. - Sat. and
Mon. - Sun. during the holiday season.
Ms. Brickner stated the house was in excellent shape, and the only other
alternative was to rent the house, 6ecause they feel the property should remain
with the restaurant. They feel the house is too nice to rent, and this would
be a unique way of preserving the house which is actually the home of one of
the fi rst 50 fami i i es aiho caroe to Fri dley.
,�"� Mr. Tom P�yhra stated this was one �f the first homes in Fridley. It was a
beautiful t�ouse, and it would 6e terrible to go into a rental situation. The
house probably did not have the natural historic-type of value because it has
been moved, but to local citizens of Fridley, it had a lot of value and
anything the City can do to preserve it was important. The boutique idea
sounded like an economically feasible way to keep it in good shape.
Ms. Doris Bergman, 6435 Pierce St., N.E., stated she had no objection to the
rezoning and for the boutique operation.

square f eet, all located in the P�orth half of Section 2, T-30, R-24, City
of Fridley, County of Anoka, Minnesota.
MOTION BY MR. KONDRICK, SECONDED BY MR, bt7ELL�1N, TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARIIVG.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERS�ON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HEARIIVG OPEN AT 8:36 P.M.
Mr. Robinson stated this property (ap prox. 22 acresl was located north of 81st
Avenue, and west of TH47. A good deal of the property was zoned heavy industrial
�vith a portion C-2. The request was to rezone it to C-3. The proposal was for
a retail center of between 150,-25O,OQ0 sq. ft. The primary tenant was a whole-
sale/retail operation called The 6�Jholesale Club, which was a new concept to
Minnesota. On the west would be a Knox Lumber Yard with adjacent storage yard,
and on the east side would be strip commercial and 30,000 sq. ft. of retail.
Mr. Robinson stated the plan called for approx. 1,200 parking stalls. He
stated there had been some discussion as to what exactly should be the
requirement for parking in this situation. The prim ary tenants, The Wholesale
Club, and Knox Lumber, were prett.v much wall-t�-wa11 rPtail accessihle-type
space with the wareho�se component built into the operation, Staff was;
working with the peiitioners to come�up vrith:wlh�� was a reasonable �atio of
buiTding; consider.ing there'was war�house included in the project.
Mr. Robinson stated Staff was recommending the following stipulations:
1. Provide a storm drainage plan consistent with city code.
2. Provide landscaping and berming sufficient to screen parking
and storage.
3. Scale down size of project so that less than 1,000 car parking
is needed or obtain necessary environmental permits.
PL/�NNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 8; i98���� " PAGE 8

ri
4. Provide a completed enviroronental assessment workshee� for
city review.
5, Obtain special use permits for any outside storage or auto-
related business.
6. Provide architectural refin�nents consistent with a quality
conmiercial development.
7. Provide a performance bond in an amount consistent with cost
of improvements.
Mr. Robinson stated the law says that any development with over 1,000 parking
stalls requires an environmental �ssessment worksheet. The petitioners are=looking
at scaling down the development in order to avoid tF�is requirement. However,
the City was suggesting in item #4 that the petitioners pro�ide a completed
informal environmental assessment worksF►eet for city review.
Mr. Kondrick and Ms. Gabel expressed concern about water -run-off--that even
though city codes are met, strange things begin to happen in Stonybrook and
Springbrook a�ter a development in this area.
M r. Kelly Doran, Vantage Properties, stated the water retention questions
would be subject to a qualified professionally engineered drainage system,
subject to city code and requirements. They will work very closely with staff
to meet all concerns.
Mr. Doran stated that as far as soil conditions, the current owners of the
southern half of the parcel had_done some soil tests which indicated peat from
12 to 14 ft. deep. Additional soil tests on the eastern half of the entire
site shawed 2- 8 ft. of peat with a mixture of various soil conditions under-
neath that. They will conduct further tests on the westerly half of the
parcel. Th�re will definitely be a substantial removal of soil,
Mr. Betzold stated they almost need a full environmental impact statenent to
answer some of the concerns the Commission members were_r_?ising. EvPn though
a formal environmental assessment worksheet was not required if the-development
was under 1,000 cars�because of' this particular location near the nature
center, the Corrm�ission members would like to know what impact this development
will have on the surrounding area even if there are only 999 cars.
Mr. Doran s,tated The Wholesale Club was the driving force behind the center which
essentially needed to be open for business Sept. 1. It was the timi►�g=�actor,
not the financial factor, tha� le�:thern to �the conclusion �hat they needed to
scale �he project down.
Mr. Kondrick asked about trucks coming in and out of the site.
Mr. Doran stated the number of shipments coming in would be much smaller than
a Target store. They will on]y accept shipments in the morning before the
store opens. Typical store hours are 12000 noon, except Tues. and Thurs., when
� they ��i1T be open at 10:00 a.m. for wholesale customers only. The store
will not be open to the public.
Mr. Kondrick stated that even though they have been assured in the past with
other developments that the water run-off would not be any greater than before
the development, st11] things h ave happened. This really concerned hi�m.
PLANNING COP�MISSION MEETING, JANUARY 8, 1986 PAGE 9
�
Ms. Gabel stated she was not only concerned about water run-off but also
air quality and traffic.
Ms. Gabel stated that as a Planning Commission, it would be appropriate for
them to see an environ�ntal assessment-�Q���S��t as they were really operating
in the dark, and they did not have enough information to really make a decision.
They are very concerned about the nature center, They do not have a problem
with the project--they just want to make sure nothing was being done that ���as
detrimental to the environment.
Mr. Doran stated they could certainly appreciate that.
Mr. Matt Pdichol, Vantage Corporation, stated he thought an informal environ-
mental assessment worksheet was v�ry�viable;and if the Planning Commission gave
their approval of the rezoning that evening, they would put together that
information very quickly for staff and Planning Commission review. They would
appreciate a quick turn�around 6ecause of their tight time frame.

Mr. Saba stated if the City really wanted to develop these properties, then
the City should have some type of study done to see if these properties are
really developable or not developable, so they know what happens to that land
when it is developed and tfie land is altered and so they know what the ampact
is for traffic, air pollution, and other environmental kinds of things.
Right now they do not �now these things.
Ms. Gabel agreed. She stated she was also tired of being stampeded because
everyone was in a hurry and ev eryone had time eonStraints. As pointed out, if
something really drastically goes u�rong, they are going to have to live with
t�i�t m1sta�e �or a long, long tllne. She felt t�ere was a ver� delicate
6alance of nature in thi's area.
The Commissioners agreed they would li'ke to have �ohn �lora and possibly
someone from the MPCR speak to tFie Comm1ssion regarding these concerns.

n 12. OTHER BUSINESS:
a. Support of S=2 Zoning for Lake Pointe Corporate Center
Mr. Robinson stated Staff was proposing that a majority of the drive-in
property be rezoned to S,2 "Redevelopment District" zoning. The S-2
zoning would help to streamline the zoning approval process while tying
the rezoning to the proposed master plan. At the present time, the
majority of the site was zoned C-3. The existing most northerly parcel
of the site, approx. 128 ft., would remain R-1 to act as a buffer to the
residential area as well as pathway, driveway and surface parking uses.
The aresterly portion of the Johnson property will also retain its existing
R-1 zoning and will be platted as an outlot to be reserved as a green
buffer area.
Mr. Robinson stated a public hearing for the rezoning will be before the
Planning Commission on Jan. 22. The Commissioners had received a draft copy of
a memo from the HRA indicating its support for the S-2 district zoning,
special use permit, and plat for Lake Pointe Corporate Center.
Mr. Robinson stated this information was for discussion purposes only, and
no action was required by the Planning Commission at this meeting.
The Commission members were very supportive of S-2 zoning for this property.
