UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 1. PUBLIC HEARING• CONSIDERATION OF REZONING REQUEST. ZOA #99- 02 BY THE CITY OF FRIDLEY: Per Section 205.09.01.A.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to rezone a parcel from R-2, Two Family, to R-3� General Multiple Units� legally described as Lot 11, Block 1, Melody Manor, generally located at 7411 University Avenue. MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:35 P.M. Mr. Bolin stated the City of Fridley is making the rezoning request. Staff is seeking to rezone property located at 7411 University Avenue from R-2, Two-Family Units� to Ft-3, General Multiple Units. The request is being made to correct an error on the zoning �.� maps, to comply with the settlement of a previous lawsuit, and to allow multi-family development including owner-occupied townhomes, �s0� PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 2, 1999 PAGE 2 � Mr. Bolin stated the R-2 zoning allows finro-family dwellings, single family dwellings, and single family attached as long as there is a minimum lot area of 5 acres. By changing the zoning to R-3, those uses, as well as the multiple dwelling complexes, would also be allowed. Mr. Bolin stated the parcel is currently vacant and has been vacant since it was platted. There is a 12-unit apartment building located to the north of this site and another 12-unit apartment building to the south. To the east is R-1, Single Family zoning, and Grace Lutheran Church. To the west is Highway 47/University Avenue. Mr. Bolin stated the property was platted in 1963. At that time, Mr. Ed Chies obtained building permits to construct an 8-unit apartment on the lot but did not build it. The property at that time was zoned R-2 which at that time allowed multiple family units. In 1964, the City changed the R-2 zoning to allow only duplexes and single family homes. In 1970, Mr. Chies tried to obtain his original building permit that had expired and subsequently took the City to court. The settlement reached at that time allowed the R� 3 standards to apply to this properly. In 1986, the zoning maps were redrawn to show the property as R-3, but the parcel was never officially rezoned. In 1988, the City Attomey send a memo stating the parcel should be rezoned to R-3; however, to date, the rezoning has not been processed. In 1994, there was a proposal for a 7-unit condominium project, which was later withdrawn. In 1999, the City received a variance and replat request for this property for a 7-unit owner-occupied townhome complex. When reviewing the address file, current staff discovered the discrepancy in the zoning. ^ Mr. Bolin stated staff recommends approval of this rezoning. It would correct the error on the zoning map, conform with the settlement of the previous lawsuit, meet requirements of the memo of the City Attomey, and would allow owner-occupied townhomes on the site. Mr. Kondrick asked if staff had received any comments from the neighbors. Mr. Bolin stated staff had not received comments on the rezoning request. Staff has had comments regarding the replat and the variance request. Mr. Oquist asked for the status of the replat request and the variance request. Mr. Bolin stated the replat request is to replat the property into 7 lots and the variance request is to reduce the rear yard setback from 40 feet to 19 feet. The City Council acted on the variance request first and tabled it. The City Council was not willing to grant the variance for the rear yard setback and asked the petitioner to re-examine his request. They suggested reducing the number of units to 6 in order to reduce the variance. As a result, the plat request was not acted upon. These requests will be coming before the City Council again on June 14 as well as this rezoning request. Mr. Kuechle asked if the apartment properly would remain zoned as R-2. � 3.02 � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 2, 1999 PAGE 3 Mr. Bolin stated, yes. Once the comprehensive plan is completed, then staff will examine making more changes in that area. He thought they would eventually be rezoned. He was sure there would be concems from the neighbors as far as maintaining some kind of buffer between the R-1 and an R-3 district even though those are R-3 uses in an R-2 district. At this time, staff feels they should wait until the comprehensive plan is completed before proceeding. MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICKECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:42 P.M. Ms. Modig stated she had no problem with the request. MOTION by Mr. Sielaff, seconded by Ms. Modig, to recommend approval of Rezoning Request, ZOA #99-02, by the City of Fridley, to rezone a parcel from R-2, Two Family, to R-3, General Multiple Units, legally described as Lot 11. Block 1, Melody Manor, generally located at 7411 University Avenue. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE �..� DECLARED THE MOTION CARRI�D UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Bolin stated this item would be considered by the City Council on June 14. 2. Y2K UPDATE FOR PUBLIC SAFETY: Mr. Sallman stated he is the public safefiy director and the emergency management director. Most experts do not feel Y2K is going to be a big issue. The difficulty in planning for this is planning for something that probably isn't going to happen. He has spoken with the utility companies, i.e. electrical, gas, telephone� etc.� and they say there is no greater risk than what currently exists. Mr. Sallman stated the question is why the City is concemed with Y2K. It becomes an insurance issue. The Cit�r has been working on this issue since the beginning of last year. They replaced the police computer system, which needed replacement anyway. The phone system will be replaced in June. The primary critical service is sewer and wat�r. The water has a 24-hour capacity. The sewer system may be more of an issue because the lift stations go down very quickly. They have purchased generators to provide for that so there is no break in service should there be no ele�tricity. A number of contingency plans are in place. If anyone has questions about those plans, they cara contact staff. Mr. Sallman stated the City has added staff for New Year's Eve. One concem for emergency planners is peoplee He would suggest keeping some e�tra fo�d around. He 3.03 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 2, 1999 PAGE 4 would also suggest people not take all their money out of the banks. If you need some ,_--� cash, take it out early. Information will be communicated through the City newsletter, the City web site, cable television, senior groups, and handouts. Mr. Bill Champa at the City is the coordinator and can also be contacted for questions. Mr. Sallman stated someone asked a question about what would happen if the computers mixed chemicals wrong. His response to that is they would handle it the same way they would today. Ms. Griep stated the hazardous chemical facility is probably better prepared than other places because they are working on their plans continuously. 3.

RESEARCH ON ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT Mr. Bolin stated the memo dated 5/14/99 is for the Commission's information. The Appeals Commission at the last three out of four meetings has dealt with requesfis to reduce the front yard setbacks for additions and remodeling for homes in Fridley. These requests have come as a result of the remodeling handbook that was published. In order to accommodate residents in fixing up homes, staff is looking at proposing a text amendment to reduce the setback that is currently at 35 feet. � Mr. Bolin stated Mr. Martig has been doing comparisons to other cities in the metropolitan area to try to come up with a number that would allow for many of the plans that are shown in the handbooks to be done without variances and still meet the City's needs. It makes sense for people.to invest in their homes and for the City to remove one barrier to enhancing their property. Mr. Kuechle asked what action would the City like the Appeals Commission to take. The second page of the memo states clearly that they do not meet the undue hardship requirement. If the Appeals Commission is to take that literally, they probably will not approve any of the requests. Mr. Bolin stated the last three requests have been approved because they were within previously granted variances. At least two of the three did have some concems with relatives with physical disabilities and access to the home. ihere was some hardship shown in the cases they have had so far. That may not be the case in the future. The housing division and planning staff decided it was time to re-examine the front yard setbacks. It did not make sense to encourage people to add on to their homes if the code would not allow it. The plan is to reduce the front yard setback to something less than 35 feet. The exact dimension has not yet been determined. He would anticipate 6� would be approximately 27 or 28 feet. � Mr. Kuechle stated he would like some direction for the Appeals Commission. From the ' information provided, it appe�irs that the current requests should be deniede iVlost of th� �.D�J PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 2, 1999 PAGE 6 requests were within the range of 27 or 28 feet. He asked if they were going to get more of the requests for two-car garages where a one-car garage now exists. Mr. Bolin stated there is talk about specific language that this is for front entrances. ihe past requests have been covered porches and not necessarily garages. 9. HOLIDAY STATION STORE Mr. Oquist stated he would like to express his frustration and disappointment with the City Council regarding the Holiday station on Highway 65. The Planning Commission voted 5 to 1 to deny that special use permit and the City Council approved it anyway. He thought the Planning Commission had legitimate concems about safety, the affect on the neighborhood, and traffic pattems. Now that they have had an opportunity to drive on the new intersection, he thought they had better seriously take a look at the safety issues and the traffic situation. He almost had an accident a few days ago. Someone pulled out of the existing gas station and didn't think they had to stop. He came off Highway 65 to go up to Hathaway Lane. Because the other person did not want to stop, he had to slam on his brakes. He thought they were opening themselves up for safety issues for that convenience store. The people from Moore Lake are going to cross there and are going to be hit by cars. The way that intersection is now laid out, . unless they put up a stop light for the gas station and for those people coming off Highway 65, there is the potential for an accident. There will also be more traffic than the�e is today because this is a convenience store and a big gas station. � Mr. Oquist stated he understands the item is tabled and the City Council is going to go back and review the special use permit that was issued back in 1976. He is frustrated and disappointed because the City Council did not take into consideration the 5 to 1 vote of the Planning Commission and the concems expressed. He plans to attend the City Council meeting and speak as a citizen of the neighborhood. The Planning Commission spent quite a bit of time reviewing the proposal, voted 5 to 1 to deny, and three of the City Council members still approved the request. Ms. Modig stated she agreed. She lives in that area and that is her main thoroughfare in and out. She feels it is totally inappropriate to have a convenience store there because it is going to create problems with Moore Lake, and it is going to create problems with the additional traffic that will be coming from the Medtronic development. She thought the potential is there for a real disaster. Mr. Oquist stated he thought there was also an issue because the wooded property vvas not zoned properly. Either they have to withdraw the car wash or rezone the property. He thought that was tabled as well. 10. CODE ENFORCEMENT Mr. Kuechle stated there was an interesting article in the Tuesday edition of the Minneapolis paper on Roseville's efforts on code enforcement. The article talked �b��'� � 3.06 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 2, 1999 PAGE 7 � that city's efforts to try to maintain the quality of housing, the quality of the city, and some of the difficulties they have encountered. ADJOURNMENT: MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to adjoum the meeting.

CITY COUNCIL ACTION . Ju1y 26, 1999 Staff Report Prepazed by: Paul Bolin LS 99-01 � ANALYSIS ' Monica Lane, petitioner, is seeking to split the North'/Z of Lot 9, Auditors Subdivision 88 in order to construct an additional single family home. The entire property is relatively flat, covered by large trees, and extends back from Mississippi Street 239'. The newly created Parcel B would measure 75' X 239.23' or 17, 942 square feet. Currently there is an older home, built prior to 1949, and a garage located on the Westem portion of the lot. This home will remain in place, on proposed Parcel A, as it does meet all required setbacks. Due to the properties tocation, near HWY 65, staff has suggested the petitioners share driveway access from Mississippi Street and record 12 foot driveway easements along the common boundary befi+veen the two properties. In the event that the two properties are ever owned by persons not related, access will stilt be available to both properties. RECOMMENDATIONS City Stafi recommends approval of this lot split request, with stipulations. Proposed lots exceed the size standards required by the City of Fridley Zoning Code. Fridley requires that lots in an R-1 district be a minimum of 75' in width with a minimum total lot area of 9,000 square feet. The proposed lots would be 85' and 75' in width and from 17,942.25 square feet to 20,334 square feet in total size. North edge of property. STIPULA►TIONS Staff recommends that the following stipulations be attached to the lot split. 1. Petitioner to extend current 10' easement along the entire Westem boundary. 2. Petitioner to pay $750 park dedication fee for new lot prior to issuance of building permit. 3. Petitioner to grant code required 12' utility and drainage easement along Southem boundary of property. 4. Petitioner to pay all water and sewer connection fees. 5. Petitioner shall record a 12' driveway easement along both sides of comrnon boundary. . ^ 6. The current 15' private easement along Eastem boundary of property to b� vacated, or new home and accessory buildings to be setback 15' from the Eastem boundary so as to not encroach into the easement. 7.

During this time, the greatest benefits oi owning our properry in this neighborhaod are the open land and beauty that is prevalent here. The majority of lhe new homeowners on Benjamin Street based parc of theiz� decision to move here because of the natural view. This neighborhood is one of the few left in the city that has retained this for many years. We waat it to re�ain as such �or ma�y Bnore yeazs. Sub dividing the �„� property would ruin this effect for firture generations. Through a conversation with Steve Varichal� we were informed that while some of the border (pe.rimeter) �ees would not be removed, there are no gaarantees that any of the other Oak tcees would remain intact. ln the lot itself, not includi.ng bordering trees, there aze 24 mature 4ak trees. As you most likely know, these Oak tcees have a safe, fo�est-like Iook to the� aze aesthetically ma�,mificen� and their roots provide a base in the soil to help evade erosion. Th�re's room for the children ofthe neighborhood to enjoy siedding and playing in the woods. Along with that - there is ample wildlife - between the lots we have dwcks, geese, rabbits, ra�coons, squurels, birds and even an occasional de�r from the nearby wooded azea's. Aevclopment of multiple si.n�le family housing could d,etour wildlife from being in this nahual setting. We remember Bertha - the little old woman who owned this property before h� death. She came to our house one night in the rain when a different sub division meeting had azose in the neighborhood. She adamantl.y opposed any sub division of property in Fridley - to the point of telling us ncvcr to sell to "those developer�9D a.nd ruin the neighborhood she ha.d enjoyed f.or so marry years. It is a sad fact � a develaper has purchasEd the proper[y that sbe once owned. She never wa�a¢�� ,—� see it nor any other properties split into sections, thus l.os�ng the wooded �ea� �� open land. :0�7/O1/9,9 TSLT O?:29 FAZ 8123798589 LAWSON SOFT4YARE � Page 2 lte: Sub Divisiun of property located at 1583 Gurdena Avenae Besides the loss of tbe view(s) and mature trees - there are other concerns �vvith the pxoperry being sub divided t) With the grading of the land, what considerations are there for development and possible issnes wi.th the lands at the lower section of the lot that borders our South seciion7 Will there be extra storm rnn o�'f that could potentially a� the land and dei�riorate the hill wiith erosion. i�the trees and maivral grasses �.ce gone?

I have paid taxes on this property for some thirty years. !� I will not be available to attend the July 7, 1999 meeting. I have sought to develop this property for my personal use for some years but have been declined because it was in a ravine. 1Nhen I purchased the property it was platted for a home site and there was a cul-de-sac planned for access to this property.

Surrounding Land Use & Zoning: N: Single Family & R 1 E: Single Family & R-1 S: Wazehouse & M-2 W: Madsen Park Comprehensive Plan Conformance: Consistent with Plan Zoning Ordinance Conformance: Sections 205.07.1.C.(2) requires churches have a special use permit when located in an R-1 District. Zoning History: 1964 - First building permit issued 1983 - SP#83-13 granted for additiona 1990 - SP#90-02 granted for daycare. Legal Description of Property: Metes & bounds description. (See '� attached) Public Utilities: Water and sewer aze available at the site. Transportation: 73rd Avenue provides vehicle access to the site. Physical Chazacteristics: Lot is relatively flat, covered by existing church buildings, pazking lots, and landscaping. Sti�1VIMARY OF PROJECT Grace Evangelical Free Church is requesting a special use permit to allow the expansion of the educational, administrative, and gymnasium space of a church. SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS City Stafj`'recommends approvad of this special use pe� rrrit. Churches are a permitted special use in the R-1 zoning district, and the expansion proposed by Grace Evangelical Free Church complies with the requirements for the special use permit, subject to the stipulations suggested by staff. CITY COUNCIL ACTION July 26, 1999 Staff Report Prepared by: Paul Bolin SP 99-04 Analxsis City Staff recommends approval of this speciad use permit. Churches aze a permitted special use in the R-1 zoning district, and the expansion proposed by Grace Evangelical Free Church complies with the requirements for the special use permit, subject to the stipulations suggested by staff. The proposed 183 parking stalls are more than adequate to meet the code required 150 parking stalls. In addition, Grace Free Evangelical Church has staggered service and class times to alleviate current parking problems and ensure adequa.te pazking for their congregation. The layout of the pazking lot allows fire trucks to adequately circulate through the property for fire protection. City engineering staff has reviewed the drainage plans for this site and determined them to be adequate for a development of ttus size. Site line drawings, provided by the church, indicate that the proposed addition will have minimal impact on the neighbors to the East. The three nearest homes are more than 80' from the proposed addition. Existing landscaping will help to minimize views of church expansion. � In addition to the existing large trees and landsca.ping, the church will be adding 8 Goilflame shrubs to the front of the expanded education building. The church will also be putting in additional lazge spruce trees along the portion of the Eastern property line, where only bushes currently exist. � � �� _ �� _ ;�: � Addi�anal _. __, .._ �.. - ` Spruce to be � -° >. plar�ted here , , _. � .-. � - p _ '_�__. .. ;�� ew of Eastem Progerty Boundary Stipulatioas Staif recommends the Planning Commission approve the special use permit subject to the following stipularions: 1.

As part of the expansion appcoximately 8,688 SF of existing church space would be demolished and replaced with new. � I would like to make the following points conceming the proposed expansion: • The expansion complies with the City of Fridley Code regarding a church use within a residential neighborhood. • Construction is within setback limitations. Additional buffer beiween parking and neighbors to the east is maintained. • Parking continues to comply with city code of one stall per 5' of pew length. • The current Sunday schedule of finro sessions of worship and bible schoo/ happening simultaneously has maximized the parking lot. Their current schedule is in direct response to a lack of bible school space. With expansion they could go back to the more traditional schedule of worship /bib/e school/ worship. This would alleviate the parking impact as experience has shown. Please see attached email for attendance information. Please review the site plan and building perspective for additional project information. • Page 1 e � / \ -----Original Message---- From: Vogel, Jeff f_mailto:VoQeIJC�bsci.coml Sent: Friday, December 11, 1998 4:40 PM To: 'Gavin, Maurice' Cc: 'jhvogel@me.umn.edu' Subject: RE: Grace E-Free, Fridley Maurice - Please forward this to Scott. Scott - Here is a summary of my view of our parking situation. About 6 years ago, we re-arranged our Sunday moming program schedule to allow us to increase our building usage and ailow for more peaople in Sunday moming ciasses. The result has been an increase of about 50 in classes on Sunday moming, from around the 220-250 range to 270-300. Even with this schedule, though, we are again stressing our classroom capacity, and have not found a way to progarm the class time in such a way that there would be room for further increase. There is still room to grow in the worship services, however. The previous schedule was a worship service at 8:30, classes at 9:45, and a second worship service at 11:00 (with limited pre-school classes). The current schedule is one worstiip service with a few classes at 9:00-10:00, /'1 and a second service with a full set of classes at 10:30-11:00. We recognized at the time we made the schedule change that this arrangement would stress our parking capacity, but we believed we had some available capacity at the time and that the increase in class capacity was worth it. The 30 minutes (theoretically) between services was intended to minimize the overlap in parking lot usage for people attending only one hour. Under our current schedule, we believe the parking lot is basically full on days where we reach our peak attendance levels. On such days, the first hour probably sees 250 in worship and 50 in classes, and the second hour about 200 in worship and close to 300 in classes. The parking lot is most full, I think, during the second service, and not during the cross-over time. When the lot is full, it is probably very close to the rated capacity, with an additional 5-10 cars parked off-site. Current peak attendance: worship classroom total 9:00 250 50 300 10:30 200 250 450 With an expanded facility, our primary constraint would no longer be class space, but parking. In my opinion, we would need to consider changing to a schedule that reflects this constraint. A schedule we would likely consider is the pre-1992 schedule described above. Under that schedule, we would expect to be able to accomodate twice the number of people in worship, with no more people in the building at the same time than we have today. The ^ attendance profile would be expected to look something like this: Proposed expanded peak attendance: ^ 8:30 worship 450 9:45 classes 550 11:00 worship 450 With this schedule, we would need to nearly double our cuRent classroom capacity for us to reach the same number of people in building at one time as we have now. There would be some challenges with the sho�ter cross-over times for parking, but these challenges do not seem too difficult to me. On Wednesdays, we currently have 250-300 people in the building at a time, with a significant number of children who are dropped off and don't require parking. I believe that with current parking we we could accomodate at least 600 people in the building at a time on Wednesdays, provided the class-room/gymn space was available. At present, the building is very full on Wednesday nights with perhaps half the parking lot empty. I hope this is helpful. Jeff Vogel � � JUN-30-99 WED 01:02 PM WELSN CONSTRUCTION CORP.

The se of rocessin the lan � P P J P� P � P :�i�ndment application now versus the overall update is to show consistency �i�etween the plan and a federal highway fund application which is now being prepared by the City and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority. The deadline for "TEA-21" funds (the new name for the federally funded transportation program) is tentatively scheduled for mid to late August. Additional points are awarded during the scorin� process when the project is implementing � solution to a problem or concem identified in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Metropolitan Council staff advised City staff that the application would be strengthened if the amendment were put into place immediately or at least in process. BACKGROUND The traffic consultant, SRF Consulting Group, for Medtronic Inc. conducted a traffic study in late 1998 which projected the impact of the growing amount of tr�ac on TH 65 as well as the tr�c as a result of the Medtronic project. The study compared the results of a"No Build" analysis with a"Build" analysis (co�aplei�� 7/ygg Plan Amendmer�t � 7/2/99 the Medtronic project). Without the Medtronic project and projecting typical tr�c � growth in the area, the TH 65/Lake Pointe DriveJCentral Avenue intersection would operate at a level of service E in 2010 and F in 2020 during the afternoon peak hour. The work now being finished by MnDOT on TH 65 was assumed to be in place for this analysis. The major reason why the level of service is E and F is the amouixt of "throu�,h" or northbound tr�c on TH 65. The project now being finished provided two left turn lanes into Lake Pointe Drive, which if not in place, would have made the operation of the intersection much worse. Also, the cwrent project realigned Lake Pointe Drive, eliminated the "wiggle", adjusted the gade to be even with 'TIi 65, and aligned it conectly across from the changes on Central Avenue. The Planning Commission is also aware of the changes made on Central Avenue as a result of the current project. While not the perfect solution, the design shifted the access to and from the Hackman Avenue and Hathaway Lane neighborhoods east and created a new Hillwind frontage road intersection at the northeast corner of the existing gas station site. With the Medtronic project, the traffic analysis predicts a level of service E after Phase II or 800,000 square feet of development. Depending on Medtronic's govvth, Phase II may occur as early as 2004. The traffic study also predicted a level of service F during the peak hour in the year 2020 with the Medtronic development. PROPOSED ADDITIONAL LANE PROJECT The proposed improvement project would extend from the intersection at Lalce Pointe Drive north to about 100 feet beyond 63`� Avenue. Staff has been investigating a"sheet pile wall" construction alternative that would be constructed on either side of TH 65 across Moore Lake. Another lane and shoulder would be added to the northbound side, and after recommendation by MnDOT sta� another lane would be added on the southbound side. The "sheet pile wall" would not significantly affect the lake. In fact, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority is currently under contract with an engineering firm to determine if the sheet pile wall design will be structurally feasible. Preliminary soil tests were completed in March. They indicated that the soils would be suitable for the sheet pile wall, but additional engineering and soil tests are required for review by MnDOT staff in prepazation for the federal funding application. MnDOT staff is supportive of the project since it will improve the function of. TH 65, consistent with its goals for TH 65. Rice Creek Watershed staff is also supportive since the project will have to incorporate a drainage system that handles the runoff from the roadway. Currently, the runoff sheet flows off the highway �ngo the lake without any treatment. The location and design of the potential storm�aat�r treatment system is also under evaluation by the Authority's engineering firni. F�a � � 7/7J99 Pian Amendmer►t � a �� RECOMIVV�NDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission conduct the public hearing and authorize staff to prepare the appropriate application form and text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan for City Council and Metropolitan Council review.

This information should include existing and proposed roadway capacities and existing and projected background (i.e., without the AUAR development) traffic volumes. • Trip generation data — trip generation rates and trip totals — for each major development � scenario broken down by land use zones and/or other relevant subdiv�sions �f the area.

The study included an analysis of existing traffic conditions, future traffic with and without the planned development, operational impacts to area roadways, and site access needs. The traffic study forecast future traffic volumes and examined the operational characteristics of existing and future conditions in terms of level of service (LOS). The LOS characteristic is an operational comparison of the ability of a road or intersection to accommodate traffic flow and remain uncongested. The LOS of an intersection is generally presented as an alphabetic rating from A to F, with A indicating minimal delays and F indicating significant delays. Intersections are generally considered to be operating at capacity at LOS D and to be above capacity at LOS E and F. A memorandum (dated December 21, 1998) describing the complete traffic analysis perFormed for the Draft AUAR is included in Appendix D. As described in Item 6, Medtronic continued to refine their Master Plan for the site :� concurrent with the Draft AUAR process. The trip generation and resultant traffic impacts associated with the current Master Plan were compared to the assumptions made in the Draft AUAR analysis, as described in the memorandum dated February 25, 1999 (see � Appendix D). This comparison indicated that the traffic analysis performed for the Draft AUAR reflected conditions equal to or worse than those that would result from the � current Master Plan concept. Therefore, the results of the Draft AUAR traffic analysis continue to be used in this Final AUAR to represent "worst case" conditions. The Draft AUAR traffic study findings are summarized below, with additional information related to � the current Master Plan concept provided, as appropriate, to describe the current understanding of tra�c-related site impacts. EXISTING ROADWAY SYSTEM/OPERATIONS The AUAR study area is located in the northwest quadrant of the I-6941 TH 65 interchange. Primary access to the site is via TH 65 (Central Avenue) and � TH 47 (University Avenue), both of which have interchanges with 1-694. These fi�� roadways are four-lane divided minor arterials that run north-south through the City c�f �^ Fridley. They have tum (anes and signalization at all major intersections. � Fridley Lake Pointe Center AUAR 27 ��r�� 999 r� The current Mn/DOT Metro Division Transportatir�n System Plan (TSP) projects existing �^� and/or future congested traffic conditions on both TH 47 and TH 65 in the vicinity of the site. However, due to projected overall funding constraints for the Metro Division, it ha� limited funding for improvements in these comdors compared to the problems and needs of other higher priority corridors in the Metro area. Therefore, the TSP designates TH 47 as a"preservation" corridor and TH 65 as a"management" corridor for the years 2001-2020. Preservation corridor management strategies typically include measures to maintain the roadway in its current condition (through road resurfacing and other infrastructure repairs) and do not include Mn/DOT funding allocations for capacity improvements. Management corridor strategies are intended to optimize the capacity and safety of the existing roadway, delaying the need for expensive capacity expansion. Management strategies for TH 65 include access management, transit support, system management techniques to optimize operations and travel demand management (to decrease the number peak hour users). Local access to and from the Lake Pointe Center site is provided by 57th Avenue and 7th Street via TH 47 to the west and West Moore Lake Road via TH 65 to the east. Seventh Street is a two-lane collector that runs north-south through the City of Fridley. Existing intemal roadways within the site include Lake Pointe Drive and Bridgewater Drive. Lake Pointe Drive is a two-lane collector that runs east-west along the southern boundary of the site between 7th Street and West Moore Lake Drive. Bridgewater Drive is a two-lane road that loops north from Lake Pointe Drive a!ong the northern boundary ^ of the site. The following were identified as key intersections to be analyzed for operational impacts: 1 • TH 65 and West Moore Lake Drive/CSAH 35 • TH 65 and 1-694 North Ramp � • TH 65 and I-694 South Ramp • 7th Street and 57th Avenue �• 7th Street and Lake Pointe Drive (site access from the west) _ . TH 47 and 57th Avenue � • TH 47 and I-694 North Ramps .- • TH 47 and I-694 South Ramps Current traffic controls include signalization at atl key intersections alo�g TH 65 and � TH 47. Fifty-seventh Avenue has side-street stop control at its intersection vvifih 7th Street. The intersection of 7th Street and Lake Pointe Drive has all-way stop control. � All intersections were analyzed for operational level of service using current $urr9ing movement counts for the moming and aftemoon peak hours. The results of the analysi� � for 1998 conditions (including improvements to area roadways made dur�ng fh�; ,—� � 1998 construction season) are summarized in Table 3. � Fridley Lake Pointe Center AUAR 28 P�arch 9�J99 � � TABLE 3 1998 INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS FUTURE NO BUILD CONDITIONS � A No Build condition operational analysis was conducted for the years 2010 (the year after assumed build out for the planned development) and 2020, assuming the AUAFt site development did not occur. This analysis is used as a baseline condition against which to compare the Build condition analysis. � � � � � -� All intersection operations were analyzed using 2010 and 2020 No Build traffic forecas4 volumes for the moming and aftemoon peak hours, using a 1 percent yearly growth rate from existing volumes. As shown in Table 4, three intersections (TH 65 and West Moore Lake Drive/CSAH 35, TH 47 and 57th Avenue, and TH 47 and I-694 South Ramp) are expected to operate at or above capacity (i.e., LOS D) in 2010 and 2020, even if the AUAR study area does not develop. By year 2020, the TH 65 and I-694 South Ramp intersection is also projected to be at capacity under No Build conditions.

The 1997 ITE Trip Generation manual was used as the basis for trip estimates used for the AUAR traffic impacts analysis, as summarized in Table 5. Table 5A summarizes the trip generation estimates for the land uses shown in the current Master Plan for the site. The peak F�our trip estimates in Tables 5 and 5A reflect the staggered distribution of commuter trips typical of the proposed land uses (primarily office). Comparison of Tables 5 and 5A shows that the total number of trips generated by the current Master Plan land uses are less than thcse assumed in the Draft AUAR. Therefore, the Draft AUAR trip generation estimates continued to be used in the operational analyses to represent the worst case "Build° conditions for the Final AUAR. The directional trip distribution for the site-generated traffic was determined based on information provided by Medtronic on current employee home addresses and likely travel routes for those employees. The December 21, 1998 memo in Appendix D includes figures showing the assumed trip distribution and the peak period traffic volumes used in the operations analyses. Figure 9 summarizes the average daily traffic (ADI� volumes for existing, 2020 Build and 2020 No Build conditions for area roadways.

The new Bridgewater Drive alignment will serve as the main site access roadway and replace Lake Pointe Drive as the east-west public roadway connection between 7th Street and TH 65/West Moore Lake Drive. The realignment of Bridgewater Drive is recommended for three reasons: 1) it provides a more direct access route to site parking and loading docks; 2) it locates the road on the north side of the site, rather than dividing the property as the current alignment does; 3) from a transportation perspective it makes more sense, as the new alignment will not only be shorter (by one third) but it would also eliminate several curves and right-angle tums and, thus, would reduce circuity of travel. (It should be noted that a private intemal roadway access point might be provided at the approximate location of the existing Lake Point DriveRth Street intersection. However, traffic analysis was performed assuming a"worst case" condition of all site traffic entering/exiting at the proposed 7th Street/Bridgewater Drive intersection.) • Construction of a free right turn lane on the east approach of 57th Avenue intersection with TH 47 to facilitate westbound 57th to northbound TH 47 traffic �, movement. ��, • Striping an exclusive right turn lane for the west approach of 57th Avenue to 7th Street to facilitate traffic going to the site from TFi 47. • Striping an exclusive left turn lane for northbound 7th Street to westbound 57th Avenue traffic. This lane would allow the northbound 7th Street traffic to clear faster, increasing the available gaps for eastbound 57th Avenue through and northbound turning traffic movements. Table 6 summarizes the results of the operationaVcapacity analysis for 2010 and 2020 Build conditions. Traffic controls for the operations analysis were assumed to be the same as described for existing conditions except that the four-way stop at 7th StreeULake Pointe Drive woufd be replaced by side-street stops on Bridgewater Drive (no�th site access point) and the northeast TH 47/I-694 frontage road at their intersections with 7th Street. The year 2010 analysis projects traffic operations resulting from full site development (also incorporating the effects of background traffic increases over the time period). The 202Q analysis incorporates additional background growth (bu4 assumes no additional site traffic) and is used for comparison to the metro area 20-year traffic projections.

A comparison of the Build (Table 6) to No Build (Table 4) conditions identifies that the same three intersections are projected to be above capacity (LOS E and F) within the next 10 to 20 years: TH 65NVest Moore Lake Drive/CSAH 35, TH 47/57th Avenue and TH 47/1-694 South Ramps. Of these intersections, the TH 65M/est Moore Lake Drive intersection operates at LOS E for No Build and LOS F for Build in 2010. Operations afi the other two intersections in 2010 are the same for Build and No Build, assuming the free right-turn lane is constructed at the TH 47/57th Avenue.

Therefore, poor opera tion s a t t h i� interse�tion are not due to site tra f fic. , As would be expected, intersection LOS decreases between 2010 and 2020 No Bui(d and Build conditions for a number of the other e t e onl'�ones projected to ope a e � per�o d s.

Operational analyses indicated that adding a third northbound through lane on TH 65 from the I-694 north ramp to the 63rd Avenue intersection (tapering down to two lanes north of 63rd) and providing two left-turn lanes from northbound TH 65 40 westbound West Moore Lake Drive (at the CSAH 35 intersection) would result in LOS C at the TH 65/V1/est Moore Lake Drive intersection during the afternoon peak hour in 2010 and 2020, compared to LOS F for the same periods if these improvements are nofi made. The City is reviewing potential options for constructing these improvements with Mn/DOT to determine if their implementation is feasible. Options currently being considered do not result in physical impacts to Moore Lake from the construction of the additional northbound TH 65 through lane. Ifi agreement is reached with Mn/DOT on implementing these improvements, a separate environmental review process would be followed for these improvements, if required by state regulations. Traffic analyses also included consideration of potential traffic-related impacts to properly owners to the north and west of the site in the vicinity of the proposed relocation of the site entrance via the extension of Bridgewater Drive. Analyses included: 1) changes in traffic volumes on Bridgewater Drive/Lake Pointe Drive among existing, 2010 No Build and 2010 Build conditions and 2) left turn queue lengths for the northbound 7th Street fo westbound 57th Avenue move during the afternoon peak period. Traffic counts (taken in 1998 after completion of the improvements at the TH 65M/est Moore Lake Drive intersection) at the existing Lake Pointe DriveRth Street i�tersection indicate the average daily traffic (AD� on Lake Pointe Drive between 7th and Wesi Moore Lake Drive is approximately 500 vehicles. Morning and afternoon peak volumes were both 52 vehicles per hour. If no site development were to occur, 2010 traffic volumes on this section of Lake Pointe Drive would be approximately 560 vehic(es per day. Forecast 2010 Build traffic volumes for the west site entrance (at the Bridgewater Drive extension) are approximately 3,000 vehicles per day with morning and aftemoon peak hour volumes of approximately 700-720 vehicles per hour each peak hour. As shown in Tables 4 and 6, these volumes do not result in a change in intersection level of service between the Build and No Build conditions (LOS A for both). Analysis of aftemoon peak hour operations at the 7th Street/57th Avenue intersection (with restriping of the intersection to provide a northbound to westbound turn lane� indicate an average queue length for the northbound left turn of 2.5 vehicles. If an average vehicle length of 20 feet is assumed, the average queue length would be 50 feet. This would not result in impacts to operations at the eastem extension of 57th Avenue or the Bridgewater Drive intersections with 7th Street (located south of the 57th/7th intersection). In addition to intersection operations analysis, the potential traffic impacts on otheP !� roadways in the vicinity of the study area were considered. Decreased continuity foP travelers on the northeast frontage road for TH 47/I-694 to TH 65 could result due io the retocation of the through-site road from (existing) Lake Pointe Drive north to the future Fridley Lake Pointe Center AUAR 33 hi�arch 9999 � � � � � � � e � l intersection of Bridgewater Drive with 7th Street. Other local roadways (other than 57th Avenue and 7th Street) are not likely to experience traffic impacts, since most of �` these local streets are not through streets and would likely be used only if �he trip origin/destination lies within the local area. The straightening of Bridgewater Drive at the east end of the site results in removal or potential relocation of the existing east-west residential street to the north — Carrie Lane. The City is currently evaluating the final street design for Jackson Street, Carrie Lane and Quincy Street with the realignment of Bridgewater Drive at the northeast comer �f the site. Input from the neighborhood is currently being solicited. Regardless of the outcome of this analysis, the realigned Bridgewater Drive would not connect to the neighborhood, and, as a result, residential and site traffic will continue to be separated. MITIGATION ALTERNATIVES UNDER CONSIDERATION Mitigation for impacts to area roadways resulting from increased trips generated by the proposed development will include changes to roadway geometrics to improve operations and incorporation of transportation management planning efforts to minim�ze the number of trips generated by site users. Physical improvements will include fhe geometric changes to local streets that were incorporated into the previously described traffic analysis, including: • Striping an exclusive right-turn lane for the west approach of 57th Avenue io 7th Street to facilitate traffic going to the site from TH 47. !� • Striping an exclusive I�ft-t�m lane for northbound 7th Street to westbound 57th Avenue traffic. This lane would allow the northbound 7th Street traffic to clear faster, increasing the available gaps for eastbound 57th Avenue through and northbound turning traffic movements. The traffic analysis also indicated a need for construction of a free right turn lane on the east approach of 57th Avenue at its intersection with TH 47 by the year 2010. However, the University Avenue right-of-way has been identified by regional planning agencies as a potential transit corridor for either light rail transit or a busway. The City will reevaluate the current status of the transit plans by 2010 and analyze the effect on the proposed improvement at 57th Avenue/TH 47. The City will also conduct traffic counts at the intersection by the year 2010 to confirm the need for this improvement. As noted previously, the City is also working with Mn/DOT to identify design requirements and potential funding sources for making capacity improvements �o TH 65 in the vicinity of the West Moore Lake Drive/CSAH 35 intersection. Options for short-term (interim) and long term improvements to add through lane capacity An TH 65 in the area are being considered. The interim solution being considered inclu�� reconstruction of the existing northbound shoulder area for use as a through lane du��g peak periods. The ultimate design being considered includes construction of an additional through lane and new shoulder within the existing causeway area through the ,—� use of sheet piling to coniain the additional roadway fill areas. Concept feasibility studi� completed to date indicate that this construction method would keep construction impacts above the OHW level of Moore Lake. Fridley Lake Pointe Center AUAR 34 March 9999 , � � � =. �, � � � � � � � !�, I The City wili also promote incorporation of travel demand management (TDM) efforts by occupants and users of the planned development to minimize the number of trips generated by the new development. Examples of these efforts are summarized below. • Provide a display of commuter information for Lake Pointe Center employees. This would include information on rideshare, transit schedules, bicycle commuting information, etc. Information on alternative access paints to adjacent freeways would also be provided. • Investigate measures to provide preferential parking spaces for car poolers at each parking facility. Issues that would need to be resolved include: the number of people required for consideration as a carpool, vehicle identification, location of spaces, etc. � Work with Metropolitan Council Transit Operations (MCTO) to identify ways to enhance transit use to/from the site. (Mass transit is currenfly available in the vicinity of the site. Fixed bus service is provided in the vicinity of the proposed project by Metro Transit. Bus services are provided along TH 65, Central Avenue NE, University Avenue and 53rd Avenue. A park-and-ride facility currently exists at TH 65 and West Moore Lake Drive at the St. Phillip's Lutheran Church. Future transit provisions for the area are subject to change.) � Provide motorcycle parking within parking structures or on concrete pad (similar to thai provided at existing Medtronic faciliiies). • Provide covered bicycle storage and bike racks (similar to that provided at existing Medtronic facilities). • Provide shower and locker facilities to serve the buildings and promote biking (similar to that provided at existing Medtronic facilities). • Provide flexible work schedules for employees in conformance with existing Medtronic flexible work schedule policy. (Medtronic provides early/staggered start times for production employees at facilities located further north on TH 65, thereby reducing peak period demand from those facilities.) • The City wi[I require Medtronic to provide a traffic management plan prior fio construction of Phase II. � Investigate and consider provision of shuttle service between major Medtronic campuses (i.e., Shoreview, Rice Creek, Columbia Heights and new Lake Pointe.) The traffic operations analysis of the Build conditions did not reflect potential reducti�� ir� peak period site-generated trips by incorporating these TDM efforts. Therefore, o� i� anticipated that incorporation of these measures may improve operations on roaduvay� �� serving the site.

They have been able to identify the wildlife we have found there, the tracks of various animals who have visited the area and have talked about the life of the oak trees. How to identify the kind of tree it is, how old it is, etc. There are 24 mature Oak trees on the property, not including any trees that border the property. If you build a house(s), these would have to be destroyed. I do not believe this area should be destroyed. Please do not approee the sub division of this property. Thank you.

Fridley, MN 55432 Dear Mr. Hickok: Today we received the "Site Plans" for the proposed addition to ihe Grace Evangelical Free Church. Previously I talked to a Church Employee and was told there would be no changes to the East, only to the North and the height of the building would not change. After reviewing the Site Plans, we find it much different than we expected. Our porch and deck are only 82 feet from the existing bldg. Under the proposed plan, a"Three Story Flat-Roofed Structure 39' tall" would �' ruin the view from our porch and deck, and would bring our property value down. We believe their architect could give them a more appealing plan with roof lines that would make their structure more attractive to the Neighborhood. Perhaps they could go to the West where the residents would not be affected. Please do not grant the permit with the proposed Site Plan. Thank You, Roger and Gwen Nawrocki � r" I �. '-1 �
