JAN HAMMERSTROM. 6931 EAST RIVER ROAD N.E.: Ms. Hammerstrom, 6931 East River Road, stated that at the last meeting she presented a letter to the Council requesting indemni- fication from the liability of the bikeway proposed in front of her home. She stated that while she was doing research at the library, she noted that the Council did not proceed with a bikeway along Main Street, under Project 1994-8, because of the objection of the business owners due to the liability of trucks crossing this bikeway. Ms. Hammerstrom pointed out that Section 505.09 of the City Code prohibits motorized vehicles on a bikeway/walkway except for maintenance, construction, and emergency vehicles. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JIINE 26, 1995 PAGE 6 Ms. Hammerstrom stated that the residents on East River Road are forced to park their vehicles on the bikeway while waiting to enter onto East River Road and assumes this would be a violation of the code. She stated that she would like a letter of indemnification or the bikeway removed. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that he reviewed the discussion from the last meeting. What should be kept in mind is that there is no liability unless there is negligence. He stated that, for example, the City is responsible for maintaining the bikeway and, if they fail to do so and there is an accident, it may be grounds for a claim against the City. He stated that if the driver of a vehicle causes an accident and it is determined that the driver was negligent, there could be liability on the part of the driver. He stated that there could be accidents where it is no one's fault. Mr. Herrick stated that it seemed from the comments at the last meeting that this situation was not different from others where driveways cross sidewalks or bikeway/walkways in the City. He stated that it may very well be that people riding bicycles are going at a faster speed than pedestrians and may cause some additional problems. He felt that this would not place any higher burden on the property owners as far as driving in and out of their driveways. Mr. Herrick stated that as far as the code relating to motorized vehicles on the bikeway, he was sure the intent is to prevent motorized vehicles from operating on the bikeway/walkway and not crossing it. He stated that there are similar ordinances which state that a person cannot operate a motorized vehicle on a sidewalk, but there are many areas where driveways cross sidewalks. He stated that he did not think there would be any claim that by crossing the bikeway it would be a violation of the ordinance. Mr. Herrick stated that if the homeowner does something that is negligent, their insurance company should be responsible. He stated that by the same token, if the City does something that is negli-gent, the City should be responsible. He stated that if the biker is negligent, they would have to turn to their medical insurance for coverage. He stated again that if there is no negligence, there is no liability. Ms. Hammerstrom stated that since 1993, all of the homeowners on East River Road have repeatedly tried to point out that this bike- way is an accident waiting to happen. She stated that she felt, by constructing the bikeway, it would be negligent on the City's part because they knowingly left this hazard. She felt that this would indemnify the homeowners and make the City liable. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she did not think the City is more liable if a biker is on the street or a bikeway. FRiDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JIINE 26, 1995 PAGS 7 Ms. Aammerstrom stated that a biker on the roadway has to obey traffic laws, but that is not the case on a bikeway. Councilman Schneider stated he knows that Ms. Hammerstrom is opposed to the bikeway, but if there is a bicycle accident on East River Road, some attorney may say the City was negligence by not installing the bikeway only to appease the homeowners. Ms. Hammerstrom stated that she wondered if this same attorney may also say that the bikeway is a hazard and liability. Ms. Hammerstrom stated that, in 1991, when there was a public hearing on the widening of East River Road, there was no mention of the bikeway. She stated that the only time it was �entioned was when condemnation proceedings began. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that meetings were held, but there was very little input. Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that he believed the County had three meetings. Ms. Hammerstrom stated that she attended one of the meetings, but their property had already been condemned and suspected many of the residents felt it was a done deal. Mayor Nee stated that the City can still work with the County on this issue. Ms. Hammerstrom stated the problem is that there is the time schedule, as work is being completed on the East River Road project. Councilwoman Bolkcom suggested that a meeting be held with the County, City Manager, Public Works Director, and the residents. Councilwoman Jorgenson suggested that the outcome of this issue be submitted under Informal Status Reports so that the public is advised. MR. FRANCIS VAN DAN. 6342 BAKER AVENUE N.E.: Mr. Van Dan, 6342 Baker Avenue, addressed the City Council relative to.a letter to ther editor in the Focus News by Leon Madsen. He stated that this was a blind sided attack on him by Mr. Madsen, the City Assessor, and Mr. Madsen should be disciplined or fired. Councilwoman Jorqenson stated that this issue should be discussed in the pages of the Focus News. She also stated that Mr. Madsen does have the right to express his opinion. I FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MBBTING OF JIINE 26. 1995 PAGE 8 Councilman Billings stated that Mr. Madsen did not sign the letter as City Assessor and, as a resident and taxpayer in the City, he has a right to freedom of speech. Mr. Van Dan stated that he would like the City Manager to instruct Mr. Madsen that he demands a public apology for the citizens of Fridley. He stated that no public employee should say they do or do not want any citizen to live in their City. NEW BUSINESS• 13. VARIANCE RE4UEST, VAR #95-13, BY NEW HORIZON CHILD CARE TO ALLOW AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IN THE FRONT YARD TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF A CHILDREN'S PLAY AREA, GENERALLY LOCATED AT 1001 EAST MOORE LAKE DRIVE (WARD 2�: Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that this is a request for a front yard variance to allow the construction of a children's play area at the New Horizon Day Care Center in the West Moore Lake Shopping Center. He stated that the play area is proposed to be located adj acent to the tenant space with direct access to the play area. Mr. Hickok stated that the City approved a similar request for the same petitioner in 1994, but they did not proceed with their plans for the daycare center in the East Moore Lake Shopping Center. Mr. Hickok stated that this daycare center will utilize 5,000 square feet of the existing Sports Spree facility. He stated that the Appeals Commission unanimously recommended approval of this variance. He reviewed the stipulations recommended relating to shrubs, a hold harmless agreement, and pavement markings. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if there were restrictions regarding the location of child care centers in relation to the liquor store. She also questioned the distance from the daycare facility to the liquor store. Mr. Hickok stated that liquor stores should be 600 feet from schools and churches and, if it is interpreted that this is a school, then this requirement would apply. He stated that tha facility is about 40 feet from the property line and an additional 15 feet from the liquor store. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that he did not think this restriction applied to off-sale liquor operations, but only to on-sale. Ms. Sharon Bergen, representing New I�orizon, stated that they would not be offering a private kindergarten, and this is not a school per se. ■ FRIDLEY_CITY COQNCIL MBETING OF JLTNE 26. 1995 PAGE 9 Councilman Schneider asked Ms. Bergen if the stipulations were agreeable. Ms. Bergen stated that there is not a problem with the stipulations. Councilman Billings questioned what type of signs were proposed for the daycare center. Ms. Bergen stated that there would be a sign across the face of the building that faces the parking lot. She stated that they would like a canopy over the doors to protect the children. Mr. Blumentals stated that they intend to install a five foot by five foot wall siqn on the west side. Ms. McPherson, Planning Assistant, stated that when the Council approved the shopping center's amended sign plan for Sports Spree, it allowed the most�westerly tenant to have a wall sign on the west wall. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to concur with the unanimous recommendation of the Appeals Commission and grant Variance Request, VAR #95-13, with the following stipulations: (1) existing evergreen shrubs located in the south portion of the play area shall be removed and replaced with new shrubs; (2� the owner sha11 execute and record against the property a hold harmless agreement inde7anifying the City from liability should repairs occur to the water main under the play area; and (3) pavement markings indica- ting a pedestrian crossing shall be added to the parkinq lot to provide additional safety measures during the times of pick-up and drop-off.

ZOA #95-02, BY THE CITY OF FRIDLEY, GENERALLY LOCATED AT 73RD AND UNIVERSITY A�TENUES ( WARD 1 �: Ms. McPherson, Planning Assistant, stated that the first reading of this ordinance covers a change in the zoning for property located at 73rd and University Avenues from M-2, Heavy Industrial to C-2, General Business. She stated that at the request of Councilwoman Jorgenson, staff analyzed the present location of the liquor store and the proposed location in relation to the parks in the City. She stated that the distance between the liquor store and the parks does increase with this proposed new location. Ms. McPherson stated that staff recommends approval of the first reading of this ordinance. Councilman Billings stated that the motivation for rezoning this property to C-2 was to accommodate a new municipal liquor store. He stated that at the last meeting, Council requested staff to examine an alternate site at Osborne Road and University Avenue. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 1995 PAGE 10 Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that staff reviewed the alternate site and arrived at a purchase price. He stated that there are a number of issues that are outstanding, and staff will continue their research before a complete analysis is provided.

IS PROPOSING THESE RE UESTS IN ORDER TO CON- STRUCT 48 SENIOR-ONLY, OWNER-OCCUPIED CONDOMINIUMS,_„� 56 OWNER- OCCUPIED_ATTACHED TOWNHOUSES. AND 50 OWNER-OCCUPIED DETACHED TOWNHOUSES; GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF MISSISSIPPI STREET, WEST__OF_UNIVERSITY AVENUE, AND NORTH OF SATELLITE LANE { WARD 1) : Councilman Billings stated that as he recalls, the decision to proceed with a project on this site was voted on by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in December. He stated that at that time, there was considerable discussion regarding the density and cost projections as to land write-down and acquisition. Councilman Billings stated that the recommendation from the Plan- ning Commission is a lower density and a different configuration than what was originally discussed. He asked if HRA has taken any action or will take action on these plans prior to the public hearings before Council. Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that over the last several months, as a regular part of the HRA meetings, an update has been provided on the plans. She stated it is her understanding that once the Council decides on the density and land use issues, the HRA wi12 then evaluate the development contract. She stated that staff has attempted to keep the HRA up to date on the issues. She stated that if there is a specific item Council would like discussed with the HRA, staff would be happy to do so. Councilman Billings stated that he would like the HRA to address the costs and what type of density they feel is needed to meet the financial restraints for that site. He felt that this information was important before the Council makes a determination on the plan. FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 1995 PAGE 11 Ms. Dacy stated that after the first Planning Commission meeting on these plans, the values and density changed and Mr. Casserly prepared an analysis which was shared with the HRA. She felt that the HRA is waiting for a decision on the density so they can evaluate the financial figures. She stated that all the numbers they have been evaluating have not exceeded the general parameters ' discussed in December. Councilman Billings stated that if the HRA is waiting for Council to determine the density, he felt that this was addressed in December. He stated that whatever comes out of the public hearings, the comments from Council will have an impact on the developer to make changes in the product they are delivering and the HRA has to assess the feasibility of the cost. He stated he feels that the plat will change before final approval and questions the process of having public hearings on a plat that most likely will be revised. Ms. Dacy stated that the only solution she can suggest is joint meetings with the HRA. She stated that to review the issues on this development would probably take at least two public hearings by the Council. She stated that she wanted to grant the Council the most control possible over the development. Ms. Dacy stated that the intended process was to hold the public hearing on July 10, and continue it to July 24, for the plat, rezoning, and vacation requests. She stated that the basic issues would be discussed knowing there would be changes. She stated that the public hearing date could also be changed to July 24, and continued to August 14, with a joint meeting with the HRA on either July 13 or 17. She stated that this would place the second and final reading of the rezoning ordinance and approval of the plat to the first Council meeting in September. MOTION by Councilman Sillings to set a public hearing for July 24, 1995 for Plat Request, P.S. #95-01; Rezoning Request, ZOA #95-01; and Vacation Request, SAV #95-02. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. 6. RESOLUTION NO. 38-1995 DESIGNATING POLLING PLACES AND APPOINTING ELECTION JUDGES FOR THE JUNE 27. 1995� STATE REPRESENTATIVE HOUSE DISTRICT 52A SPECIAL ELECTION: Councilman Schneider stated that at the last meeting, there was discussion regarding this special election which is an unfunded mandate and information was requested from the Secretary of State. Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that the question of the consequences if the City did not hold this special election was posed to the Secretary of State's Office, and they responded with reference to a statute regarding neglect of duty. He said that FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JIINE 26. 1995 PAGE 12 statute states that the City Clerk is guilty of a felony. He stated that there really is no case law on this issue, as no one has contested it. He stated that there is a statute that refers to election expenses payment and states that the City shall bear the costs associated with the election. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she would move the following, under protest: MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to adopt Resolution No. 38-1995. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a roll call vote, Council- woman Jorgenson, Councilwoman Bolkcom, Councilman Billings, and Mayor Nee voted in favor of the motion. Councilman Schneider voted against the motion. Mayor Nee declared the motion carried. Councilman Billings stated that based on the fact that there would not be sufficient time to alert the voters of District 52A that reside in Fridley that an election would not be held, he regret- tably voted in favor of this resolution. He stated that this does not mean he will vote in favar of the funds for this election. Councilman Billings requested staff to indicate to the Secretary of State and the Governor's Office that there is no guarantee that funds will be available for the July il election and ask what they plan to do to fund this election. Councilman Billings stated that it was impossible under the cir- cumstances the Governor has set to inform the electorate, and there was no time for voters to obtain an absentee ballot. He stated that the City received questions from the residents and information could not be provided because of the short period of time for the election. He stated that he objected to providing funding for something that is a ludicrous manipulation of the election process. Councilman Schneider stated that he totally concurs with Councilman BilZings' comments. He stated that there was no urgency to fill that position, and he felt that voters should ha�ve the opportunity to become informed and to cast absentee ballots. Councilman Billings stated that Representative Simoneau's resigna- tion was effective at midnight on June 18 and the election is June 27. He stated that he understands there is another vacancy in Legislative District 26A and yet the Governor has not acted in haste to fill that vacancy. He questioned why the Governor does not feel it is just important to fill that vacancy in District 26A, as this vacancy in District 52A. 7. RESOLUTION NO. 39-1995 APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING SIGNING AN AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING WORKING CONDITIONS WAGES AND HOURS OF POLICE OFFICERS OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE YEAR 1995• Mr. Hunt, Assistant to the City Manager, stated that there were two mediation sessions held with the Police Union concerning four issues: wages, insurance benefits, longevity, and- education FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JIINE 26. 1995 PAGE 13 reimbursement. He stated that all these issues were resolved, with the exception of the tuition reimbursement. He stated that he felt it was best to settle on the other issues and submit this one to arbitration. Mr. Hunt stated that it is recommended this contract be approved, with the exception of Article 31, Employee Education Program. Councilwoman Bolkcom asked who makes the determination that courses are job related. Mr. Hunt stated that the employee submits a request for a college course, and it has to be approved by the department manager. He stated that if the course is job related, they are reimbursed for the tuition; fifty percent when they sign up for the course; and. the other fifty percent is paid when the course is completed with a passing grade. Councilman Schneider asked if the employee returned the fifty percent paid by the City if they did not get a passing grade. Mr. Hunt stated that they do not pay back the original fifty percent, but they are not reimbursed the other fifty percent. Mr. Hunt stated that the proposal for tuition reimbursement is that the City would pay up to $2,250 per year for tuition including the cost of books and course related fees. He stated that the City felt this was a very attractive offer and is puzzled why it was not accepted by the Union. Councilman Schneider stated that if this issue goes to binding arbitration and the ruling is not in favor of the City, the Police Department would have a different salary and benefit structure than other City employees. Mr. Hunt stated that is true, and this was the case ten years ago. He stated that as far as determining the cost of the Union's proposal, there is the possibility that the figures could be reduced because most of the employees are not coming up to the $2,250 per year limit. Councilman Schneider stated that when the budget was discussed, Council tried to get costs under control but the one item that was out of line was tuition reimbursement. Councilwoman Bolkcom asked if it was permissible for a police officer to take accounting classes. Mr. Hunt stated that the course would be paid for if the class was required for an employee's degree that is job related. MOTION by Councilman Billings to adopt Resolution No. 39-1995. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JIINE 26, 1995 PAGE 14 Councilman Schneider stated that eighty percent of the City's costs are related to personnel. He felt that the City's proposal for tuition reimbursement was very fair and the contract should not be accepted. He felt that if they go to binding arbitration, the whole contract should be arbitrated. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that Council tries to make benefits available equitably to all employees. She stated that she has a hard time with this going to arbitration knowing that 75 percent of the employees will have a cap on tuition reimbursement, and she did not feel it is fair for other employees to not have the same. Mr. Hunt stated that he could not agree more, and he felt that the City had a good argument for this one issue. Councilman Billings stated that even though Council budgeted certain funds and has an objective in mind, the bargaining process has to be kept in mind. He stated that since police officers are not able to strike, binding arbitration is a means to solve these situations. He stated that in this case, he agrees with City staff. He stated that while Council does not totally like the contract, it seems the proposal on the table makes the most sense. He stated that there is another bargaining year next year, and regardless of the outcome of this arbitration, he felt that the costs probably would not be that great. Councilman Schneider stated that he assumed the City does not have written guidelines as to what constitutes work related programs. Mr. Hunt stated that this is left to the discretion of the depart- ment managers. Councilman Schneider stated that if a department manager did not approve an employee taking a certain course, it could be construed as arbitrary and capricious. Councilman Schneider asked how many affirmative votes it would take to adopt the resolution. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated he understands that if the resolution is adopted, Council is accepting the three areas where there has been agreement and agreeing to go to arbitration on the issue of tuition reimbursement. He stated that funds have been budgeted for the three areas where there is agreement. He stated that even if the City would lose in arbitration and the budget is exceeded, the City is required by law to proceed with this arbitration. He stated that three affirmative votes were necessary to adopt this resolution. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that for the next budget session, she would like to know the amount of tuition reimbursement and pay increases in the private sector. She stated that she would also FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JUNE 26, 1995 PAGE 15 like to know what degrees employees are working towards and what has been approved. She felt that the City's offer was very gene- rous both for wages and tuition. Councilman Schneider stated that he would like to know how many times the City has not approved courses or what courses are approved. UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, Councilwoman Jorgenson, Councilman Billings, and Mayor Nee voted in favor of the motion. Councilman Schneider and Councilwoman Bolkcom voted against the motion. Mayor Nee declared the motion carried by a three to two vote. 15. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS: Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that there were four items to discuss informally after the meeting. He stated they are: (1) the $10,000 grant program for business beautification; (2) south- west quadrant informal presentation; (3) sealcoating for 1995; and (4) details on the liquor store site and proposal for temporary location of the liquor store in Holly Center. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she would like an update on the senior and community center, under Informal Status Reports, for the July 24, 1995 meeting. It was the consensus of the Council to begin the July 10, 1995 Council meeting at 7:00 p.m. ADJOURNMENT: MOTION by Councilman Schneider to adjourn the meeting. Seconded by Councilman Billings. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the Regular Meeting of the Fridley City Council of June 26, 1995 adjourned at 10:13 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Carole Haddad William J.

DPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOUSLY. l. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CPA #95-01 BY HOME DEPOT USA INC.: In accordance with State Statute 462.355, Subdivision 2, Procedure for Plan Adoption and Amendment, the proposal would amend the current land use designation from industrial to commercial on Tract A, Registered Land Survey No. 130, generally located north of I-694 and west of Main Street. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Modig, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. OPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE,'CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:34 P.M. Mr. Hickok stated the Comprehensive Plan amendment is related to the Home Depot project. At the last Planning Commission meeting, 1.01 PLANNING COMMISSIQN MEETING, JUA1E 21, 1995 PAGE 2 Home Depot had a rezoning request, special use permit, and plat review before the Commission. At that time, the recommendation of the Commission was to rezone the property from M-2, Heavy Industrial, and C-2, General Business, to C-3, General Shopping, to allow development of Home Depot and two retailers. Mr. Hickok stated one point of clarification relates to the reference to the parcel being one of the largest industrial parcels in the inventory. Mr�. Tim Nelson sent a facsimile asking him to explain that there are industrial parcels to the north totalling 17 acres which is zoned M-3, Heavy Industrial, outdoor intensive. That is a combination of parcels consisting of 6.22 acres and 11.33 acres. The 14.5 acres for the proposed Home Depot site carries two zoning designations for the one parcel. The zoning for the north portion is M-2 and the south portion if C-2. The original zoning occurred in the late 1970's and related to a hotel request but that plat never formalized. Mr. Nelson also points out there is an addition 10 acres that carries the M-2 zoning. Mr. Hickok stated the Comprehensive Plan must be consistent with the zoning. The plan amendment to rezone this parcel would do that. The properties to the north, west and south are zoned M-2 and across Main Street is C-3 and C-2 zoning. Mr. Hickok stated the Comprehensive Plan amendment is in order. Staff recommended at the last meeting denial of the request based on factors such as traffic and transportation routes, creating an island of commercial in an industrial area, and eliminating a large industrial site in the City. In the staff report, it is unclear what the impact would be to 57th, Main Street, and the exit from I- 694 to University. The City Council has asked Home Depot to go back and do some further evaluation of the impact of traffic to the intersection of 57th and 61st and to look at where those trips would be coming from at peak hours. Mr. Hickok stated, if the Planning Commission chooses to recommend approval, staff recommends approval with the following stipuiations: 1. Approval of ZOA 95-04, PS 95-02, and SP 95-05. 2. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment will be required if this 14.5 acre parcel is to be rezoned. All fees related to processing the amendment will be born by the petitioner. 3. The petitioner shall provide verification of approval of the storm water management plan from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDot) and the Six Cities Watershed District. 1.02 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JIINE 21, 1995 PAGE 3 4. The petitioner shall be responsible for the cost of the traffic improvements necessary to accommodate the traffic generated by the development including signali2ation or other improvements as determined by Anoka County or MnDot now or in the future. Mr. Kondrick asked why one would change the Comprehensive Plan. What are the benefits of one zoning over another? This body looks at traffic, signage, the impact on the neighborhood, the number of jobs, generated, etc. He asked Mr. Hickok to talk about the benefits of an industrial area as opposed to a commercial area. Mr. Hickok stated the Comprehensive Plan is the policy plan for the City. It is the plan that future decisions are based upon. Amendments to the plan are not unusual. One could decide that the original plan is now inappropriate and that it now makes more sense to make this commercial. Main 5treet divides the industrial zoning from other zoning. It was at one time viewed as the boundary. There was talk about commercial nodes and where to develop those nodes. There were three identified and this was not one of those three. If we update the Comprehensive Plan, that Plan would identify this is a commercial node in the community. Mr. Hickok stated, concerning the impacts if the site would develop as industrial, the traffic numbers are lower with industrial use as opposed to commercial. With the zoning as it is, we have kind of a mix. If it were to develop as zoned, the traffic would probably be a toss up. Going back to the Comprehensive Plan which is the basis of our amendment, we would have lower traffic counts. The peak times may be different for this area. Industrial has morning and afternoon peaks and lower daily generation. Mr. Kondrick asked if the peaks would generate more traffic on Saturday and Sunday with that development than they would have during week on a per day basis. Mr. Hickok stated the numbers show they would have peaks as late as 7:00 p.m. and on weekends. Looking at this from an overall land use, the City Council talked about this being the last large parcel in 5chool District #14. The assessor's office was asked to do an analysis on the anticipated taxes. Based on the proposed mix, the estimated tax is $372,246. In comparison, the estimated tax for industrial would generate $240,085 for a 100,000 square foot building. These numbers are based on assumptions. They could have closer to 200,000 square feet of industrial and greater taxes. Assumptions are being made based on unknowns at this time. Home Depot alone would generate approximately $274,000 in taxes. Mr. Hickok stated, as far as the traffic and healthy from a city's perspective to go back to if the early decisions were accurate or if th 1.03 the land use, it is the land use to see e area has developed PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 21, 1995 PAGE 4 in such a way that this does not work. How has the area evolved from what it was when the plan was put together? Those are the types of things to look at when evaluating. When staff evaluated, they were taking industrial out of the area and adding commercial. Mr. Nelson stated, with respect to the issue of extending the node of commercial, this is not entirely true given the situation across the freeway where there is Home Value and Wickes in an industrial area. He did not think Home Depot needed to have a rezoning but thought they did need to do so for the garden center. If they just operated the Home Depot, they could do so without rezoning. The tax benefits are higher with retail. It is questionable, if the site would develop, how big it would be. Historically, the taxes on commercial have been higher. Home Depot has traffic people who will have to answer to the traf f ic concerns . He thought they would be able to satisfy those questions and they have shown developing the parcel with the existing zoning is a wash with the amount of traffic generated. If the site were developed with the proposed industrial, the project would have additional traffic questions with truck traffic. Car traffic can be of concern, but there is a higher concern with truck traffic. He would support the request for amendment. Mr. Platt stated he was available for questions. He thought staff had done a good job of presenting the issues. One issue is the move of the commercial node across Main Street. If there is concern that there would be continued growth of commercial beyond this site, he thought that could be stopped by what lies behind the parcel, namely the railroad tracks. There is no crossing to get to the west and he would think that, if there is a fear that commercial would creep to the west, the general land layout would stop that. Ms. Modig asked if Home stipulations. Mr. Platt stated no. Depot had any problems with the Mr. Hickok stated he would like to clarify Mr. Nelson's statement regarding the zoning requirements as it relates to Home Value and Wickes. This relates to the ratio of retail floor area to warehouse space. This ratio is appropriate at Wickes and Home Value to allow in an industrial area. The Home Depot relationship is different. The floor area and warehouse space overlap and do not meet the requirements to consider this as an industrial use. Mr. Platt stated Home Depot does keep everything on the floor. They keep very little in the back room. Mr. Sielaff stated he keeps asking himself, "So what?" Why is the distinction made? Wickes is still retail. Are there some problems 1.04 PLANNING COMMISSION`"MELTIN�. JIINE 21,"1995 `` ' . PAGE 5`" in having more display space vs. warehouse space? He did not know why this was an issue. Mr. Hickok stated there is an element in the industrial section of the code to provide for assembly showrooms and to provide an opportunity far a mix on the floor. There are trip generation impacts to the site. The parking requirements are calculated on the floor area and pe�k demands. If it is a very large building, there may be a large floor area. Mr. Sielaff asked if this meant the peak would make a difference. Mr. Hickok stated yes. The peak travel times for a warehouse would have a different peak travel pattern. Mr. Sielaff stated Wickes and Home Value would be bigger buildings so they may have the same number of peak spaces as Home Depot. Mr. Hickok stated this was possible. Mr. Sielaff asked if the Metropolitan Council normally goes along with amendments or do they have some type of review process. Mr. Hickok stated there are some guidelines for the City to follow. Staff has patterned their review on what the Metrapolitan Council would look at. It would be the same outline that they follow. If the Metropolitan Council wishes to do so, they may ask for more information. They have 90 days to review and understand the request before making a determination. In the first 10 days, we do not see any significant metropolitan impact but this does have some internal impacts to the City. They would look at traffic on I-694 and University. Main Street and 57th is probably not as big of an issue for the Met. Council. Mr. Sielaff stated, while staff recommends denial, that does not necessarily mean the Met. Council would deny the amendment because they are looking at it from a larger scale. If they do decide to deny, what then happens? Mr. Hickok stated, based on staff�s analysis, they can see the impacts are not great. It is very important to them that we send in our recommendation after the Planning Commission has had a change to review. Staff will send the amendment with a letter that the Planning Commission has recommended and will indicate when this will be going to the City Council. They understand that when the decision is made both will review. Mr. Sielaff asked if there is an appeals process if it is denied. Mr. Hickok stated yes. 1.05 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JU�E 21, 1995 PAGE 6 Mr. Newman stated his experience has been that normally the Metropolitan Council does not deny, but that they object and the request must be revised until the issue(s) is satisfactorily addressed. Mr. Hickok stated one of the things that would be flagged is if the city were on the edge of an urban area and there would be a large impact on the water/sewer system. It would come up in the calculations the changes in flow characteristics, water treatment demands, etc. If they see an enormous impact, there may be a shift in their decision or they may want us to justify. In this case, staff have found that the flows will be a trade off much like the traffic. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOiCE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED TAE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:02 P.M. Mr. Kondrick stated a Minneapolis-St. Paui magazine article on companies doing well in the country listed Home Depot in the top 10. The company is growing and has a good name. He thought the company had integrity. Regarding the traffic question, if they are wiiling to comply with any alterations to add traffic flow with signage or other forms of redirecting of traffic, he thought that was a plus. People who live in Fridley who will shop at this company will use 53rd, 61st or 57th. They will find the avenue of least resistance. The truck traffic is a concern and he thought they will have some trucks coming in and out with Home Depot as well as with an industrial use. It could be that there are more trucks with industrial than commercial. He realizes that 57th is a stickler. He still likes the development. He likes the way it looks and the location. He feels the Home Depot store there could be an asset to the community. Ms. Modig stated she basically agreed. She is not concerned about moving the commercial across Main Street because of the commercial that is on the other side of I-694 and other businesses on East River Road. These have invaded into the industrial area already. When coming over the bridge, there is a lot of truck traffic down Main Street. She thought they would use Main Street to avoid University. She thought Home Depot would be an asset to the community. She sees a need for a store of this type. From what she has heard, they seem to be a responsible group that we could be proud to have in the community. She has no problem with the request. Mr. Sielaff stated he has not changed his mind. He does not see any problems since there is commercial across the street. He does not see anything inconsistent with the rezoning to commercial use. 1.06 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 21, 1995 PAGE_7_ Mr. Kondrick stated taxes will be generated. It is possible there may be more taxes if there were an industrial facility if it were bigger than this building, but there will be jobs generated. Home Depot pays good salaries. Those are other things that went into his decision as well. Mr. Sielaff stated his concern is the traffic. Ms. Modig stated, if they had a big industrial congiomerate coming in, they would have more input from the community regarding the trucks. There will be more traffic because this is a gaod place to shop. She would think that people who have houses along Main Street would be used to having a considerable amount of truck traffic now. Mr. Newman stated he agreed about the caliber of the company. Everything he has read in the last six months about leading companies, he keeps reading about Home Depot. It is impressive. He would hate to see the City lose them. On jobs, depending on the manufacturing use, they may have higher paying jobs. Or there may not be jobs. The taxes may be a wash. Regarding current uses, this is already partly zoned C-2. In looking at the surrounding uses, part is industrial and part is commercial. He has a problem with traffic. If these guys are good, they will generate a lot of customers. We know how the intersection at Holiday gets already. I-694 is busy and people will use the back roads. He can see a lot of people using the back roads and a lot of traffic there at times when people are home to experience it. That is the problem he has. He thought this would impact that traf f ic and he does not think the intersections are designed to handle that traffic. They are designed for a different purpose. Mr. Kondrick stated these are valid concerns. This is a good company and because they are good they will generate more business. There is going to be traffic no matter what develops there. There may be more with this but not any more than what can be handled by smart shoppers coming in by various routes. He thought it would become a manageable situation - bothersome but manageable. The City will have the same issue at Lake Pointe when that is developed. We will have to live with it as best we can and he thought we can put up with some aggravation for the benefits that the City would see. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Modig, to recommend approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, CPA #95-01, by Home Depot USA, Inc., in accordance with State Statute 462.355, Subdivision 2, Procedure for Plan Adoption and Amendment, the proposal would amend the current land use designation from industrial to commercial on Tract A, Registered Land Survey No. 130, generally located north of I-694 and west of Main Street. 1.07 PLANNING COMMIS$ION MEETING, JUNE 21, 1995 PAG� 8 IIPON A VOICE VOTE, WITH MR.

PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT SP #95-06, BY ADE LEASING FOR JIFFY LUBE: Per Section 205.14.02.C.(5) of the Fridley City Code, to allow an automobile service station and motor vehicle fuel and oil dispensing service in a C-2, General Business District, on Lot 1, Block 1, Osborne Plaza, generally located at 7609 University Avenue N.E. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:15 P.M. Mr. Hickok stated the request is for a special use permit at 7609 University Avenue N.E. The site is along University in the northeast quadrant of University and Osborne Road. The site has a pie-shaped configuration. The zoning is appropriate for the use. Mr. Hickok stated the site was purchased by Standard Oil in 1958. In 1967, there was Appeals Commission consideration to allow a special use permit. It was not until 1971 that the Planning Commission considered and recommended approval of the special use permit for a service station on this site. The City Council followed that recommendation. In 1971, the site was developed for a service station and construction began in 1972. In 1973, the carwash was added. In 1986, the canopy was added for convenience. The station has been closed since approximately 1992. In the meantime, soil contam.ination issues were taken care of . There were deadlines to get that completed. Mr. Hickok stated the building has remained vacant. The special use permit runs with the land, but when the building remains vacant for a period of time and the site redeveloped, the City takes it back through the process and would require a recommendation by the Planning Commission and approval by the City Council. Mr. Hickok stated staff recommends approval of the special use permit with six stipulations: 1. The following changes are to be made prior to the issuance of a building permit: A. 4 Black Hills Spruce shall be added along the north property line (Eastern Red Cedar are shrubs). 1 :� PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JQNE 21 1995 PAGE 9 B. Replace all Honey Locust with Norway Maple. Relocate the three trees (along Osborne Road) to the University Avenue side of the parcel to help mitigate the impact of four overhead doors facing a major thoroughfare. C. Underground irrigation shall be installed. Mr. Hickok stated staff has reviewed the landscaping and determined there should be a mix of evergreen and shade varieties. There is an abundance of Honey Locust in the community and staff recommends replacing these with maple. To the south, there are three Honey Locust located along what is a 50-foot wide St. Paul Waterworks easement. Based on past experience, staff does not believe that this would be supported by St. Paul Waterworks. Therefore, we have asked that those trees be located outside of that easement area to the University Avenue side of the property. In meeting with the petitioner, they have asked that they could put two along the front and one to the north. Other stipulations include: 2. Ventilation will be required for the lower level of the structure. 3. Storage of used oil shall occur outside. 4. The used oil storage tank shall be tested, certified and shall meet all specifications of the City's Chief Building Official and Fire Marshal. 5. The petitioner shall compiy with all Anoka County and St. Paul Waterworks stipulations and obtain all necessary permits prior to the issuance of a building permit. 6. The petitioner will be required to provide on site ponding. Run-off calculations to determine the amount of ponding shall be submitted to the Assistant Public Works Director for review and approval. Mr. Hickok stated the last stipulation relates to a berm on the site plan indicated along the corner of Osborne Road and University Avenue. The City's engineering staff would prefer to see this as a ponding area on the site and that surface drainage be directed to this ponding area. The engineering staff also believes, like the trees we are asking the petitioner to move from that easement, history has shown that St. Paul Waterworks would not like to have a berm on the easement area. Further communications indicates that this would be favored. Mr. Kondrick asked how the St. Paul Waterworks staff felt about having the ponding area. Mr. Hickok stated communications indicate this would be preferred. 1.09 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 21, 2995 PAGE 10 Mr. Kondrick stated, with the drawings as presented and with the station as it is, is there not an actual swale between the property line and the thoroughfare. Doesn't the water by itself drain there? Is there a reason why staff feels we should have more than that? Mr. Hickok stated the calculations would help determine, according to water management practices for surface runoff, whether the post- development runoff would exceed pre-development runoff. Staff is asking the petitioner to calculate that and, if there is runoff, to hold it on site and that this would be the preferred location. If it is a match, they may be able to then to take it out to what drains naturally. Mr. Kondrick asked if a part of their drainage would be to drain the runoff into the swale. Mr. Hickok stated what they are looking at is sheet draining into a catch basin. Providing the runoff does not exceed pre- development numbers, the catch basin along University may be appropriate. The petitioner has indicated that this is acceptable to them. There is a swale that operates outside of this site and uses the state right-of-way. As we develop our calculations, we separate the runoff conditions and we would not contribute to this. We would create our own drainage system. Ms. Modig asked, if you have runoff going into a ponding area and they are changing oil at this site, will there be oil running into this pond. Mr. Hickok stated the regulations are very strict in terms of what is inside the building. This is talking about surface runoff just like any other parking lot and like any other condition for ponding on site. It is a very similar and a consistent recommendation. Mr. Kondrick stated the overhead doors would face west. What screening will be required to screen those doors from University? Mr. Hickok stated there are some base plantings including a three- foot hedge plus perennials. As you get closer to the store, there is the hedge and then the trees. If the Commission feels it appropriate, you could make this a part of the recommendation. Mr. Kondrick stated he would like to see something to block most of the doors but low enough to recognize the business. Mr. Newman asked where the cars enter the building. Mr. Hickok stated the cars would enter the building on the east side and exit on the side facing University Avenue. 1.10 :-PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING.'JUNE 21, 1995 PAC�L il Mr. Newman suggested keeping the doors on the University side closed and open the others if needed for ventilation. Mr. Hickok stated staff had discussed this. In another request and after much discussion, the City Council allowed the doors to be open. Staff talked with the petitioner who stated it is unrealistic to expect the doors to be closed. They have the doors open in hot weather for ventilation. We looked at another layout where the doors would be facing Osborne Road. Mr. Kondrick stated, whether the doors are on Osborne -or University, he would like them to be screened as much as possible but still let people know of their service. Mr. Hickok stated, if the Commission prefers, they could look at a year round opaque quality, the height, and make a recommendation based on soil conditions and what would provide that intermediate buffer. Mr. Kondrick stated they could have a three-foot hedge with a two- foot berm to screen half 'the length of the doors. Mr. Hickok stated one of the things they talked about when looking at berms in this area is the dimension from the back of the curb to the property line. Mr. Kondrick asked if there was roughly 50 feet of doors. Mr. Hickok stated yes. A two-foot berm may be a realistic expectation. Mr. Sielaff asked if the used oil storage was above or below ground. Mr. Hickok stated the used oil storage was below ground in the building. New information about the used oil storage came in to staff just recently. Mr. Sielaff asked if they have to meet the same requirements as gasoline storage tanks. Mr. Hickok stated yes. The tanks must be double walled with monitoring devices, etc. Mr. Sislaff asked if these requirements are the same or more stringent. There is an incentive for gasoline tanks not to have leakage but there is no incentive here. Mr. Hickok stated he would have to defer to the technical staff to answer that question. 1.11 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JIINE 21, i99S PAGB 12 Mr. Sielaff asked if the other tanks had been taken out and if soil samples had been taken. Mr. Hickok stated yes. The fire marshall indicates they have done the necessary sampling and testing to see if they meet the standards. He did not believe there was any clean up necessary. Mr. Kondrick stated the south part of the property adjacent to Osborne Road has some trees and asked if the St. Paul Waterworks wants them removed. Mr. Hickok stated his understanding is that they would accept perennials along the edge or some low growing plants. They do not want a berm and no large plants in order to get in there should they have to do any work. Ms. McPherson stated, if you look at Bob's Produce/Lyndale Garden Center site, the landscaping there is very typical of what the St. Paul Waterworks will allow. There are no overstory trees, and most shrubs are less than 36 inches maximum height. Mr. Kondrick stated this area has neighbors to the south. It would be nice to have something there as a screen for those neighbors. Mr. Anderson stated he did not have any prepared contments but would answer any questions. There are some comments he would like to address. Regarding the used oil handling, there is an incentive for them to maintain a real control of used oil from the standpoint of governmental regulations and economic value. They are very concerned about the used oil and take great precautions. Strict recordkeeping is required. Their compliance with the regulations is full and complete. If there are any questions, he would be happy to answer them. Mr. Sielaff asked if there was some way to monitor. Mr. Anderson stated there is a monitoring procedure that is very complicated. Mr. Sielaff asked how large the tank was. Mr. Anderson stated the tank size varies from 560 to 1,000 gallons depending on the site. Ms. Modig asked if they have materials or ways of handling spilis should they occur. Mr. Anderson stated they pride themselves on cleanliness. The only other company that may approach Jiffy Lube is Kennedy Transmission in terms of clean. There is human error and there are mechanical breakdowns. They have cleaning procedures and they try to clean up 1.12 PLANNING COMMIS$ION MEETING. JUNE 21. 1995 - �AGE:13 everything that would occur on site. If there is a spill off site, they will even go off site to a customer with a problem if they provided the service. In terms of environmental concerns, this company has been crushing filters before it was a requlation. They were a leader in terms of crushing filters. Everything that comes through their facility is virtually recycled. The filters are collected, accounted for, and reused. Mr. Kondrick asked if they had any problems with the stipulations. Mr. Anderson stated they had met with staff today and complimented staff in terms of their openness and their willingness to meet with them when they asked. They met on the landscaping conditions and he felt they had a good meeting on what the needs are. Regarding the berm in front, he had instructed the site engineer to put a berm in the front between University and the overhead doors. They have a ponding problem on the state property. It is steep there and the site engineer stated they would not be able to maintain it with a berm, but he will go back and revisit that issue. He has no problem with a two-foot berm but he also wants to be able to maintain it. Stipulation #3 states that they will have outside storage of the used oil. After meeting with staff today, that stipulation has been removed. The storage will be inside and ventilated. Other than that, they have no problem with the other stipulations. Mr. Hickok stated the City fire marshall received a call today. The oil storage was a concern until the current code amendment. There was a revision in the most recent code which does eliminate the necessity because of the high standards for having the storage inside. Mr. Sielaff asked why staff wanted the used oil storage outside. Mr. Hickok stated ventilation was part of it. Experience has been to keep the storage away from the technician area and outside of the building for fire purposes. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to close the public hearing.

PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE RECODIFYING THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE CHAPTER 205 ENTITLED "ZONING" BY AMENDING SECTION 205.25.8.c AND REPEALING SECTION 205.24. AND ADOPTING A NEW SECTION 205.24. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. QPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIBD AND THE POBLIC BEARING OPEN AT 8:50 P.M. 1.14 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 21, 1995 PAGE_15 Ms. McPherson stated this item is a two part ordinance amendment. The first part is to rescind the existing Chapter 205.24, Creek and River and Preservation District Regulations, which is the section that requires a special use permit for construction of accessory buildings and liveable space in a flood fringe area of the City. This was originally adopted in 1977. In 1988, the Federal government changed those regulations. We are now under a deadline to adopt the new ordinance to comply with Federal regulations. This applies to the area that is generally located north of 79th and adjacent to the 'Mississippi River to the Riverview Heights area. There will be no significant impact to residents. It does not change the minimum requirements. The only major change is that a number of requirements were added for mobile home parks and travel trailers which we have not previously allowed in the City. Ms. McPherson stated the second part is a one-sentence addition to Section Chapter 205.25, Critical Area Regulations, which deals with bluff setbacks from the Mississippi River, etc. As a result of a variance request last summer by Wayne Dahl, staff learned that the City should be notifying the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) when we have a variance request. Now the ordinance only acknowledges that we contact the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The second part of the ordinance amendment is to add the language to notify another agency. Mr. Kondrick asked why this must be done. Ms. McPherson stated, under Section 103 which has to do with the Clean Water Act, it is a state requirement. Mr. Kondrick stated he understands that this would not affect anyone who wants to build in this area other than the fact that staff must notify the EQB. Our standards will continue to be the same. Ms. McPherson stated this, was correct. When special use permit requests for Gordon Hedlund were reviewed last summer, they were typical requests under Section 205.24. Staff would continue to process those types of requests with the additional step of notifying the EQB. Mr. Newman stated, when the Commission reviewed the special use permit request, there were concerns expressed about adding fill and there being run off to the neighbors, and having a home higher than the others around it. The request went to the City Council and staff looked at it if there were concerns. Now that you are doing this, would the Commission revisit what to do with those vacant lots? Ms. McPherson stated Mr. Hedlund passed away and his nephew has control of the properties. He is in the process of filling those 1.15 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 21, 1995 PAGE 16 lots, complying with the grading and drainage plans and complying with the stipulations placed on each of the lots. Building is occurring on those lots. Short of the odd porch addition or possible room additions to existing dwellings, she did not believe they would be seeing very many special use permits for this area. Mr. Newman asked what would happen is someone wants to put on a three-season porch. Ms. McPherson stated �the proposed addition must meet the current standards. Mr: Newman stated, for example, houses in this area are now a non- conforming use and someone wants to add a three-season porch or room addition. They would have to put in three or four steps to get into it. Was that a requirement before? Ms. McPherson stated this was possible and the amendment will not change this. Mr. Newman stated the new ordinance impacts mobile home parks. Does it impact anything else? Ms. McPherson stated no. Mr. Kondrick asked what would happen if someone had a recreational vehicle (RV) on their lot and allowed someone to live in it. Ms. McPherson stated there are strict rules about placement of trailers. It is not against the law. The City could be responsible if the intended use is for living space as opposed to storing the RV on the property. If the RV is used as living space, it must comply with the regulations. Mr. Kondrick stated he was concerned with the liability to the City. Ms. McPherson stated she thought the City would have to deal with this as the situation arises. Mr. Sielaff stated, concerning the Critical Area Regulations, what if someone wanted to build a shed in that area. Ms. McPherson stated the critical area is defined as those areas west of East River Road. There are setback restrictions from the normal high water line and the top of the bluff from the Mississippi River. The request by Mr. Dahl was to reduce the bluff line setback from the required 40 feet down to approximately 0 feet. That is how staff found out the ordinance was not complete. The variance was granted. Staff indicated to the City council that, when the opportunity arose, staff would amend the ordinance. 1.16 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JIINE 21 1995 PAGE 17 Mr. Sielaff asked why that request was approved. Ms. McPherson stated there was something of a hardship because of the location of the dwelling on the lot and the fact that the petitioner does not have a typical side yard. Mr. Sielaff asked the reason for notifying the EQB. Ms. McPherson stated, the statutes does not indicate that. She believed it is for �eview and comment, similar to what the DNR does. Ms. Modig asked if this review by the EQB would delay requests. Ms. McPherson stated there should not be a delay. Staff would add . them to a mailing list just like the neighbors. Staff must do this anyway because it is a requirement of State statutes. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Modig, to close the public hearing.

CONSIDERATION OF RECOMMENDATION FOR 1995 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ALLOCATION ' Mr. Schneider stated the City of Fridley has a Human Resource ' Commission which is the coordinating body to review and recommend funding for service organization projects. Their recommendation was included with the agenda packet along with the minutes of the meeting in which they made their decision. The process began in March with advertising for applicants and sending applications out to previously applying organizations. As the applications came in, the Commission reviewed them and conducted interviews at a special meeting on May 18. On June l, the Commission met and recommended funding as presented. Staff is asking the Planning Commission to review the recommendations and make any requests or changes so the City Council can consider this item at their meeting of July 10. � Mr. Kondrick asked if the $24,000 total was more or less than last year. 1.17 _ � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 21, 1995 PAGE 18 Mr. Schneider stated he believed this was somewhat less than iast year. Last year, the total was closer to $30,000. The $24,000 reflects some funds that the City Council allocated off the top. This amount was for the Human Resource Commission to allocate. Mr. Kondrick asked where those other funds were allocated. Mr. Schneider stated the Senior Outreach Worker received $3,000 and the Senior Home Companion program also received $3,000. Mr. Kondrick asked if any of these organizations are getting more funding this year than last year. Mr. Schneider stated it was about the same. The total amount of requests came to approximately $54,000. The Human Resource Commission had to whittle that down to fit the $24, 000. He did not think any of the organizations represented in their recommendation received their entire request. Mr. Kondrick stated he did not have a dispute with the numbers but asked why SACCA received less than St. Philips Church. It seemed that SACCA touches more people. Mr. Schneider stated he cannot speak specifically to that situation. When reviewing the requests, the Human Resource Commission takes close consideration to the number of Fridley people that are helped. SACCA largely is a food shelf organization. Due to the elimination of some other food shelves in the Fridley area, SACCA did receive close to their full request. Mr. Newman stated St. Philips is very involved in a program for youth. The City Council is very interested in programs for youth and also wish to provide start up funds. Mr. Schneider stated the Commission expressed concern about that. St. Philips helps kids and their program was very attractive for that reason. The weaning off of some organizations was a topic that was discussed. Mr. Sielaff asked what the priorities of the Human Resource Commission were in allocating funds. Mr. Schneider stated they have in the past set up a broad priority of youth in Fridley. Mr. Hickok stated Mr. Schneider provided a history of what the Human Resource Commission had funded in the past to give them an opportunity to look at their track record. They look at new and innovative programs and what they have done in the past. This is available for anyone to review. Mr. Schneider invited the finance director to talk to the Commission because they were concerned 1.18 PLANNING COMbIIBSION MEETING. JUNE 21, 1995- PAGE 19 - about some expenditures that were made from the budget for capital improvements. The CDBG program is set up for program costs. Alexandra House, for example, had asked for capital improvement funds. The City Council made a decision to allow themselves some room in the budget to have some money they can allocate for such programs. They want to keep this a pure program opportunity. Mr. Sielaff asked if they run into the issue of volunteers versus paid employees. There'is a gray area as to when you should expect volunteers to do the work as opposed to paid staff. Mr. Schneider stated the consideration of programs by the Commission is regulated by the CDBG program, which specifically mentions that the money they are allowing us to allocate can be used for facilities, supplies, operating expenses, or staff time but not for construction or capital improvements. Staff time can be either volunteer or paid. Mr. Sielaff asked how they come up with the total amount available. Mr. Hickok stated the City Council has set up a structure for funding. The housing programs come out of the CDBG funds and a portion is for human services. That amount has fluctuated. There are certain things the City Council likes to fund within the guidelines of the program such as housing. There are also County administrative funds that come out of the total. What remains becomes the amount to be broken down for human services. The City Council did have priorities for the Senior Outreach Worker and the Senior Home Companion program and wanted to see them funded. It is policy decisions like that which affect what can be done at the Commission level.

The City Council is required to conduct a public hearing for all ordinance changes to the zoning code. Staff recoaimends that the City Council establish August 14, 1995 as the date of the public hearing. Due to the length of the ordinance and the minimal action required by the City Council, staff did not include the ordinance in the agenda.

Section 205.24, Creek and River Preservation (Floodplain�, District Changes History/Purpose The current Creek and River Preservation District regulations were originally adopted in 1987. In 1988, the Federal Emergency Management Agency adopted a variety of changes to this district. The original ordinance created CRP-1 (Floodway) and CRP-2 (Flood fringe) districts. The purpose of the district regulations was to curtail development in the floodway and permit development which met minimum standards in the flood fringe district. These regulations included establishing minimum first-floor elevations for habitable dwellings and required the issuance of a special use permit prior to development in the flood fringe. A graphic is attached showing the difference between the floodplain and flood fringe areas. Proposed Chanqes The 1988 changes include the following: 1. Establishment of a third district entitled "General Floodplain District", which includes all "Unnumbered A Zones" depicted on the National Flood Insurance Rate Map. 2.�2 � Public Hearing on Revised Floodplain Ordinance June 15, 1995 Page 2 2. Additional standards for manufactured homes, manufactured home parks, and placement of travel trailers and travel vehicles (the City does not have nor permit placement of these structures within the existing CRP-1 or CRP-2 district). There were no changes��to the existing setback or minimum elevation requirements or special use permit requirements in the CRP-1 or the CRP-2 districts. The boundaries of the districts as indicated on the City's official Zoning Map will not change. Impact to Residents The proposed changes to the district regulations should not impact the City of Fridley residents. The existing minimum standards and the area which is affected will not change as a result of the proposed changes. Section 205.25, Critical Area Rectulations As a result of the Wayne Dahl variance request in 1994, the City Council directed staff to amend Section 205.25 to include notification of the Environmental Quality Board for all variance requests in the Critical Area. Staff will prepare this ordinance amendment for review with the floodplain ordinance. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission conduct the public hearing and recommend that the City Council approve the ordinance amendment.

The transport vehicle, training and relevant equipment will be provided by the Anoka County Sherif�s Departmen� � The service went into operation on Friday, June 30, 1995 and is on a trial basis through the month of October 1995.

Hickok, Planning Coordinator Rezoning�`Ordinance.for�Home Depot Fridley Addition � On June 12, 1995 a public hearing to rezone the 14.5 acre parcel west of Main Street from M-2, Heavy Industrial and C-2, General Commercial to C-3, General Shopping. As a result, a rezoning ordinance has been prepared and attached for your review. During the public hearing, the City Council had a series of unanswered questions related to the traffic that will be generated by this development. The follow-up traffic analysis did not arrive in time for staff to prepare a summary analysis. The unanswered questions have been listed below for your benefit•and a copy of the full traffic study (prepared in response to those questions) has been provided for your review. -- Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that she is concerned about motorists exiting I-694 and having to make a left turn at 57th Avenue. She felt that Home Depot's peak hours would be in the evenings and on weekends which are also the peak hours for Holiday Plus. Answer: "Table 2(page 4 of reportl indicates, none of the intersections studied were "over-capacity" and all had acceptable levels of service. However, during the P.M. peak hour time period the observed traffic patterns at Uni versity Avenue/57th Street N.E. did pose some concerns. Specifically, traffic northbound on University Avenve is frequently backed-up to the Interstate 694 off rarrcp. Consequently, traffic merging onto University Avenue from the off ramp that is destined to make a left turn onto 57th Avenue NE has a difficult time making the necessary lane changes". "The results of the capacity analysis indicated that no significant traffic impacts are associated with the proposed Home Depot development or any of the other development scenarios considered at 10.01 Home Depat Fridley Addition Reioning ` July 7, 1995 PAGE 2 the intersections studied. However, city staff has expressed concern about the weavinq deficiency experienced by vehicles exiting I-694 westbound destined to make a left-turn from ;Uni versity Avenue onto 57th Avenue. NE,. Any.development on the site, in question that wi11 attract traffic from westbound I-694 will contribute to the iden�tified deficiency. " A study of the I-694/University intexchange ramps has been suggested by the developer's traffic consultant. -- Councilman Schneider asked if it would not be the additiori of this development that would cause the level of service to go to "E," what would be the cause? Answer: Tab1e 1, Page 3 descxibes levels of service for signalized intersections. The table describes a"D" 1eve1 of service (which is the present service level at University Avenue and 57th Avenue NE) as: "Traffic approaching unstable flow. Acceptable intersection operation for peak periods. Many intersection movements may not clear on one green phase. Traffic on the major movement can expect a greater than 50 percent chance of stopping (average delay per vehicle less than or equal to 40 seconds) ." An "E" 1eve1 of service is described as: "Unstable traffic f1ow. Volumes are at or near capacity. No vehicles are able to go through the intersection withovt having to stop (average delay per vehicle less than or equal to 60 seconds)." Table 5, Page 7 and Tab1e 6, page 8 show no degradation of service level in the A.M. or P.M. peak periods. -- Councilman Billings asked if it was known what percentage of the vehicle trips would be coming from east and west I-694 and from 53rd Avenue going north? He also stated he would like to know, of the ninety cars (identified in the traffic study), how many would come from each, direction? He concluded by stating a concern with the overall thirty percent of traffic that is coming north and south on Main Street between 53rd and 57th Avenues. Answer: The trip distribution and assignment portion of the staff report along with Figure 5 and Figures 6-9 show site generated txaffic for alternati ve scenarios. 10.02 Home Depot Fridley Addition Rezoning Ju1y 7, 1995 PAGE 3 Figure A on the last page of report attachments answers the westbound 694 site generated volvmes. Note that industrial generates 22 vehicle trips during peak P.M. hours, Home Depot alone generates 32 vehicle trips and the fu11 Home Depot development is expected to generate 54 vehicle trips during that hour. -- Councilman Billings then asked how the developer plans to identify the Home Depot site for motorists traveling westbound on I-694? Answer: A sign variance has been requested to allow a 160 s.f. sign rather than the 80 s.f. maximum sign allowed by code. Home Depot believes the additional sign s�ze is warranted to a11ow early notice for exiting. -- Mayor Nee asked if there is any data concerning traffic on 53rd Avenue as it pertains to this development. Answer: Barton Aschman reworked the analysis that was submitted earlier in order to provide specific information ahaut 53rd Avenue and this developments impacts on the street and intersections.• -- Councilwoman Bolkcom questioned the volume of truck traffic which would be making deliveries. Answer: Information specific to Home Depot's truck traffic is not entirely clear from this recent traffic analysis. The majority of the statistic used in this analysis are nationally recognized Institute of Transportation Engineering (ITE) statistics. Specific questions regarding Home Depot's truck activities should be further investigated with Horne Depot's experts. RECOMI�NDED ACTION: Staff recommends denial of ZOA #95-04. Rezoning to C-3 eliminates a large industrial site available in Fridley, creates an island of commercial activity in an established pattern of industrial uses. Finally, it is still not clear what the impact to the 57th Avenue/University Avenue intersection. Staff believes the existing zoning pattern should be changed to industrial in its entirety. The Planning Commission recommended approval of rezoning request ZOA #95-04 with the following stipulations: 10.03 Home Depot Fridley Addition Rezoning July 7, 1995 PAGE 4 1.

DuriYag the P.M. pea.k hour, the inclustrial/com.mercial mix will generate a similar amaunt of new trips as tlae Home Depot fuli deveZopmenti scenario. Without the retail store and fast-faod outlat, Home Depot will generate about the same number of new fixips as if the site v�ras developed as industrial anly. l�uring the A.M. peak haur, the site, if developed as industrial only, wili generate more ixew trips than. any oi the other scenarios. ,_ _ �rR,Y.P DISTR�U'�IQN ANA ASSIGNMENT '�he new trigs generated by the fiill Home Depot develo�ment vrrere distributed to the 3urroundirtg street network according to the trip distribui� on Figure 5. The trip distz�ibution �uvas determnned using a market study provided by F�ome Depot for the pxopased site. Tk�e market siudy was useful. iu identifyiaag the trade area for the proposed site. Sacioeconamic daia {number of househal�s) for every traffic az�aiysis zoue within tlae trade . ... area was ob�ained froni.lV�etropo�itan Council and �vas subsequsii�lY aggre�ated into.re.gians _. accordin� to desirable travel paths. Thus, each region re�iresenteil a grouping of traf�c� � analysis zones having txips (which were in direct proportion t� the number of households) accessing the site £rom a paz�ticular road�vay {ultimately either Ma.i.n. Street or 57th A.venue NE. .As Figure 5 indicates, it was determix�ed that most of the traffic �avould access the sit,� from 57th Ave�ue NE. For comparison purposes, it was assumed tY�at the trip distributa�an for the rem �a�� alternative development scenaxios �•ould be the same as that shawn on k�gure 5. �gures 6 through 9 show tYxe site generated trai�ic far each af the alternative development scenarios during the �reekday A.M. a�ad P.M. peak hour at the intersectians studied. Figures 10 throu�h 13 show the total post-developmant tra#�.c far each scenario. Total post- developxnent tra£�c represents the sum of the existing (backgrowad) traffic and new site traffic less pass-by tri�s. P`OST-DEVELU�MENT xNTERSECTIUN GAPACY'X�' ANAL7�'SLS A capacity analysis similax to that performed far the e�dsting tra�`ic volumes was agai.n conducted using the posi-development volumes. Tables 5 ax�d 6 sumrmarize the A.1Vl. auac� P.M. peak hour an.alyses and also provide a comparison agai,nst the results for the existiug volumes. During the A.M. peak houx, all intersections �vill operate at Level of Service C nr better far every dgve�opment sc�nario. I.n fac�, none of the development scenarios would change the level af service relative to the existing conditians except the Hor�ne 17epot full development scenario. Under that scenario, only the intersection at Maiva Street and 57th Avenue NE wou).d experiex�ce a drap in level of service. The reasvn for the change in level of service ati tk�a.t location is i.n part due to the change firom a T intersectiam ta a four-legged ixxtersectian. Level o£Service � is generally accepta.ble for this type o�in.tersectaon, however.

This minimizes disruptioz� to traffic prograssion along U'niversity Avenue. '�he volume-io-capacity ratios (degrees of intexseciion saturation) reported far the signalized �ntersec�iuns along University Avenue change �very little among the dif�'erent development sceiaarios and alsa compared to the existing canditions. .As was the c�3se for iha AM. peak houx analysis, the P.N1, peak hou� capacity analysis indicated that x�o si�°nificant t�-affic impacts result from any of the deveiapment scenaz�as relative ta ihe e�ci.stiixg conditions. All intersections �vauld operate at Lev�El of Service D or better. The o�aly chan�es in level af service occurred at the unsignalized intersections alang Main Street. As noted earlier, the resulting lewels of service are acceptable for the given type of traffic cor�trol (e.g., stop sign). Alsa, the valumE-to-capacity ratios report�d for ihe signalized i.ntersections alang Univexsity Avenue Ehange very litile amang the different developme�t seenarios and also �compared to -the exist�ng conditions. �. _ 4�'ith respect to the voltune-to-capacity ratias reported for bo�h the A.M. and P.M. pe3k haurs, oue shou.I.d not compaxe the ratios for one time �eriod ag2iinst the piher. This is because intersection capacit�' is not a fixed quantity. Ix2stead, i.n.tersection cagaeit�* is a functxon of, amo�.g other things, the total tiYx�e for �he traffic signal ta complete one camplete sequence of signal indieations (cycle). Longer cycle times resvlt i.n more capacity for the intersection but tend to increase the delay experienced by motorists. The P.M. peak hour time period raquired a lon,ger cycle time at the sx ati7ed intez�sactiaus thaxx did the AM. peak hour and iherefore has xnore capacity. 'rhe volux�ne-tv-capacity ratios for cYifferent development scenarios witlii.n the same time pexiod may be directly compared, however. .A73]�ITION.A.L SCENAR.IO The intersection capacity analyscs for the abo�ve development scenarios i�acl�uded both the pro�osed Horne pepot Full Development and also a Home Depoi tievelopm�nt withaut th.e adjacent retail store ax�d outlot (Home Depot Only}.

COI`TCi�CTSIONS The :following conclusions �re made concern,i.ng the tr�c impacts of the proposed Hazne �epot deve�opment: 1. Despxte the adclitional traf�ic t�at will be gen�rated by the gxoposed Home l7epot development, the intersections studied will maintain their current leveLs of service rela�xve to the existing conditions for boih the A.M. and P.1VX. pesk haurs-- xhe or►ly intersection to experience a drop in le�vel of service is at Main �tireet and 57th Avenue NE. Hawever, this i.ntersection will operate at no worse than �evel af Service B dunug the A.M. peak hour and Level of Service D during �he P•1V1. Pe3k hatu'• '�his is generally acceptable for tl�zs type of intexseciion. In addition, the level� af service are very similar to those expected wn.der the other development scenarios. 2. �'he site-generated valumes do nat significa�atly change the averdll �ralume-to-caPacity rat��s at the signalized int,�xsectzoas along U�i.versit�' Avenue during either time period- This is true for any af the developmaaat scenari.os. . 10 ��.�7 , . , . ., {�: .. . . . , 612 332 �180 07:06�'95 1':�� F:�1 612 3�2 G13i► B�RTi�\-:�SCH1f�iN [�1 012 r i� 3 0 3.

Hickok, Planning Coordinator SUBJECT: Final Plat Resolution for Home Depot Fridley Addition On June 12, 1995 a public hearing was held regarding the f�inal plat for Home Depot USA, Inc. The Final Plat creates three lots: one for Home Depot, one for the attached retail use to the north and one free-standing retail use. Subsequent to the public hearing, the developer expressed an interest in the possibility of eliminating the attached and peripheral retail uses from consideration. If those retail uses are eliminated from Home Depot's future development plans, staff recommends that Home Depot be required to plat the entire 14.5 acres as 1 lot. It is staff's understanding that the petitioner has not made a final decision on this issue. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends approval of plat request P.S. #95-02 with the following stipulations: 1. 2. Approval of PS #95-02 shall require prior approval of ZOA #95- 04. The petitioner shall comply with all requirements of the Anoka County Engineering Department. 3.

Community Development Department PLt�NNING DIVISION City of Fridley DATE: July 7, 1995 � TO: William Burns, City Manager,h� FROM: SUBJECT: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director Scott J. Hickok, Planning Coordinator Special Use Permit For a Garden Center at Home Depot, Fridley Addition On May 3, 1995 the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider a special use permit to allowing contruction of a garden center at Home Depot. During the public hearing, the Planning Commission endorsed the appropriateness of the use and recommended approval. According to the proposal, a 27,972 s.f. garden center has been designed to be attached to the proposed 103,550 s.f. enclosed Home Depot retail space. Code Section 205.15.1.c (11) requires a special use permit for garden centers. The City has reviewed and approved similar requests under specific performance standards. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends approval of SP #95-05 with the following six stipulations: 1. Approval of SP #95-05 shall be contingent upon prior approval of ZOA 95-04 2. The architectural detail of the garden center shall be consistent with the architectural detail of the primary structure. 3. 4. 5. 6. There shall be no outdoor sales of fertilizer, pesticides or other potential pollutants. There shall be no off-season storage with-in the garden center. The developer shall provide sufficient on-site parking to accommodate garden center patron parking demands. There shall be no outdoor plant sales (outside of the � - Home DEpot Special. Us� Permit, SP. #95--05 . July 7, 1995 PAGE 2 confines of the garden center walls). The Planning Commission unanimously concurred with staff's recommendation. 0 12.02 � DESCRIPTION OF REQIIEST: Representatives of Home Depot USA, Inc. have requested a special use permit to allow a garden center at their proposed store on Tract A, Registered Iand Survey 130. This property is located west of Main Street, north of I-694. StJMMARY OF ISSIIES: Home Depot, Inc, plans to construct a complex containing a total of 142,316 s.f. of retail space. The proposal consists of a 27,972 s.f garden center to be attached to the 103,550 s.f. To respond to this request, the City must first amend the Comprehensive Plan and rezone the 14.5 acre parcel. The current zoning on the parcel is a mix of M-2, Heavy Industrial and C-2, General Commercial. A rezoning request has been made by the petitioner. The requested zoning is C-3, General Shopping Center. In recent years the City has received numerous requests for garden centers in accordance with Code Section 205.15.1.c (11). You_may recall that as stipulations to the approval, the City has required such elements as: architectural detail consistent with that of the building, no off-season storage within the garden center, no outdoor sales of fertilizer, pesticides or other potential pollutants, adequate parking to accommodate garden center customers, and no plant sales outside of the fence detail designed to enclose the Facility. Many of these concerns have been satisfied through the design of the Home Depot Garden Center. the building. RECOr�IENDED ACTIONS : Staff recommends approval of SP #95-05 with the 6 following stipulations: 1 12.03 ,. _ . gTIPIILATION$ 1. Approval of SP 95-05 shall be contingent upon prior approval of ZOA 95- 04. 2.

Burns, City Manager,a Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director Scott J. Hickok, Planning Coordinator Sign Variance Requests by Coliins Signs for Home Depot USA, Inc. On June 6, 1995 the Appeals Commission Considered a series of sign variance requests by Home Depot USA, Inc. Subsequent to that meeting, a revised proposal has been submitted. The variances currently requested relate to Home Depot's free-standing sign and would allow a 40' high sign (rather than 25' as allowed by code) and would allow a sign size of 160 s.f, rather than the code allowance of 80 s.f. ORIGINAL REQIIEST: Collins Signs, on behalf of Home Depot, USA, requested 3 sign variances. These variances included: -- A wall sign area increase from 321 -- A consolidation of the permitted, signs (one for each of the 3 consolidated 247 s.f. sign; and -- An increase in the maximum height sign from 25 feet to 69 feet. s.f. to 445 s.f.; individual 80 s.f. businesses) into 1 of the free-standing RECOMMENDED ACTION ON THE ORIGINAL REQIIEST: -- Wall sign - staff recommended denial, the Appeals Commission concurred. -- Increased sign size/consolidation - staff recommended approval of the consolidation, the Appeals Commission concurred. -- An increase in the height of the free-standing sign - staff recommended denial, the Appeals Commission concurred. REVISED REQIIEST: A new request was later submitted by the petitioner. The request for consideration of a wall sign variance was dropped in the new proposal. The new request would require the following variances: -- Increased sign size from 80 s. f. to 160 s. f. for the Home Depot lot only. The consolidation request has been 13.01 Home Depot Sign Varian�e Request, Var #95-12 July 7, 1995 PAGE 2 m .. . . i dropped and the other two lots would be entitled to 80 s.f. signs each. Increased.sign height from 25 feet to 40 feet SIMILAR VARIANCE APPROVAL: Home Valu is a business with similar site characteristics. In 1993, the City of Fridley granted Home Valu a sign variance to allow a sign not to exceed 25' in height and 160 s.f. in sign area. The Great Northern Industrial Plat was approved in 1985 with a condition of approval to remove the billboard in 1990. The billboard was removed in 1991. ** STIPIILATION ** All billboards on the Home Depot site shall be removed within a time-frame to be determined by the City. STATED HARDSHIP: "Visibility of the store traveling west on I-694 will be obtained by the front wall sign. However, visibility will not be obtained by wall mounted letters travelling east on I-694, due to set-back of the building from I-694; the terrain, topography of the land; and the railroad overpass. Advertisement to both east and west traffic is vital to the Home Depots success and unwarranted vehicle hazards". Staff believes east bound motorists on I-694 is at no greater disadvantage looking for Home Depot, than a west bound motorist looking for Home Valu. The topographic limitations and sight constraints of the railroad overpass affect these properties in a nearly identical manner (depending on direction of travel). While the Home Depot sign size is consistent with a previously approved variance, the remaining two lots would have the ability to have one 80 s.f. free-standing sign. To avoid visual clutter, staff recommends that the two lots share on 80 s.f. sign. In this way one free-standing sign is eliminated, but the other sign matches the amount permitted by code. 13.02 ** STIPOLATION ** the future retail developments on lots 2 and 3 share an 80 s.f. siqn, rather than havinq two individual 80 s.f siqns. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends the following actions by the City Council: -- accept the withdrawal of the wall sign variance request; -- accept the withdrawal of the consolidated sign/size variance request; -- approve the sign area increase to 160 s.f. with the stipulation that: Al1 billboards on this site shall be removed within a time-frame to be determined by the City. -- deny the request for a free-standing sign height of 40' -- stipulate that the future retail developments on lots 2 and 3 share an 80 s.f. sign, rather than having two individual 80 s.f signs. 13.03 CITY OF ERIDLEY p C 6431 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E.

PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT The Home Depot is anxious to work out an agreement with the City in hopes of resolving the signage issues. With this directive, we will conform to code for all wall signs and plead our case for the freestanding (pylon) sign. REASON FOR VARIANCE AND HARDSHIP The revised sign size will be 12'8° x 12'8" constituting 160 square feet. This is a size identical to a previously granted variance for Home Valu dated May 11, 1993. The revision of the sign height to 40 feet, reflects a 580 reductiori from the original request of 69 feet. The sign will be of similar height as the existing billboards on I-694. The pylon sign will be located perpendicular to I-694, approximately 400 feet west from center-point of Main Street. we will adhere to all city set-back requirements/ stipulations. 13.05 Addendum B The Home Depot Page 2 of 2 Visibility of the store travelirig west on I-694 will be obtained by the front wall sign. However, visibility will not be obtained by wall mounted letters traveling east on I-694, due to set-back of the building from I-694; the terrain, topography of the land; and the railroad overpas�. Advertisement to both east and west traffic is vital to The Home Depots success and unwarranted vehicle hazards. Please note the enclosed color renderings.

The requests include: 1. a wall sign area increase from 321 s.f. to 445 s.f.; 2. an increaselconsolidation of the 3 pernutted, individual 80 s.f. free-standing signs (one for each of the 3 businesses) into 1 consolidated 247 s.f. sign; and 3. an increase in the maximum height of the free-standing sign from 25 fcet to 69 feet. SUtVIMARY OF ISSUES: Home Depot USA, Inc is a home improvement retail center. Currently, Home Depot has several land use applications that have bcen filed and are being reviewed by sta� the Planning Commission and City Council. If approved, Home Depot plans to const�uct a 150,000 s.f. retail complex including the Home Depot store, a smaller attached, but separately owned retail facility (future owner unknown) and a fre� standing peripheral retail facility along Main Street (future owner unknown). A recommendation of approval by staff would indicate that each of the requests must be consistent with all 4 criteria used to evaluate all sign variance requests (details in analysis portion of report). None of the 3 variance requests meet all aspects of the criteria. Shorewood Plaza was granted a variance in 1988 to allow a consolidated use, 180 s.f. pylon sign (a 100 s.f variance). RECOA��NDED ACTIONS: Staff recommends denial for sign variance request #1, building sign area. Staff recommends approval of sign variance request #2 with 3 stipulations (sce analysis). Staff recommends denial of variance #3, free- standing sign height. Though tall signs (like Union 76) exist within the community, they exist because they preceded the City Sign Code. No sign height request of ttus magnitude has received approval since the adoption of the sign code. � 13.10 � HOME DEPOT SIGN VARTANCE REQUESTS, 57TH AVENUE N.E.

The rail lines were meant to accommodate Industrial uses. The Zoning Map and Comprehensive Plan provided the policy direction so that the land in this area would develop as Industrial. as the metropolitan area developed, it eventually became necessary to bisect the Industcial properties in Fridley with a major arterial roadway. H'ighway 100 was built in the 1920's. Upgraded as demand warranted, I�'ighway 100 eventually became a 6-lane divided Interstate I�ighway and was renamed I-694. Today I-694 is one of the heaviest travelled highways in the state. In terms of vis�ble access, I-694 brought great visibility to the subject parcel. Vehicular access to this site, however, is gained from Main and 57th Streets. In 1974, the Burlington Northern rail lines formed a Land Development Corporation to aid in the development of the rail lines property that lined their rail system. Burlington Northern had owned the property since 1965. A Burlington representative indicated (in 1974) that the property had not been developed because Bw�lington had plans for what they called the Northtown Yards. Their exact plans for the Northtown Yards were not certain and until specific plans were ava.ilable, the Rail Company did want to dispose of the property. Budington's development division did believe that a Motel to handle their Northtown rail crews would be an appropriate land use of the land closest to I-694. In 1976, the City reviewed a request by Burlington Northern and Carl T. George, Georgetown Motel, to rezone a 4.6 acre pancel adjacent to I-694. The rezoning would remove the parcel from the City's industrial land inventory and allow a C-2, General business designation to accommodate a motel and restaurant. In 1977, the rezoning request to allow the Georgetown MoteUrestaurant was approved. Neither the r�taurant or the Georgetown Motel compiex were ever built. The land from that point was marketed as a commerciaU'�ndustrial opportunity and the Ciry has not received formal development requests for the 14.5 acres under consideration at this time.

INC.: _ Pursuant to the following sections of the Fridley City Code: Section 214.11.05 to increase the maximum area of a wall � sign from 321 sq. ft. to 445 sq. ft.; and Section 214.11.O1.B to increase the maximum area of a free standing sign from 80 sq, ft. to 247 sq. ft.; and Section 214.11.02.0 to increase the height of a free standing sign from 25 feet to 69 feet, to allow construction of wall signs and a free standing sign. Subject property is Tract A, Registered Land Survey �130, Anoka County Minnesota, generally located at the NW corner of I-694 and Main Street. 13.13 APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JIINE 6, 1995 PAGE 2 MOTION by Ms. Beaulieu, seconded by Ms. Smith, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC $EARING OPEN AT 7:37 P.M. Mr. Hickok stated Home Depot USA is requesting a series of sign variances. Staff requests that the Commission act on each of the requests separately. Mr. Hickok stated the Home Depot USA site is located north of I- 694, west of Main Street near the intersection of 57th Avenue N.E. and the Burlington Northern rail line. Holiday Plus is located just to the east and is zoned C-3, General Shopping Center. Mr. Hickok stated Home Depot USA is the nation's largest home improvement retailer and has a series of other requests running concurrently. These requests include a rezoning. The site is currently a combination of commercial and industrial zoning and carries a Comprehensive Plan designation of industrial. The 14.5 acre site would be modified on the Comprehensive Plan through the City Council and the Metropolitan Council. There is a plat being requested to allow the Home Depot USA store plus another attached retailer and another peripheral free standing use on a portion of the parcel near Main Street. The plat would allow three independent parcels and buildings to be owned separately. Mr. Hickok stated the first request is to increase the maximum area of a wall sign from 321 square feet to 445 square feet. The sign is above the main entrance and the parapet steps out to give some added elevation. The City's formula for a building sign is not to exceed 15 X the square root of the lineal dimension of the building face. This gives proportion to the sign that is relative to the building. Staff has evaluated this request based on the following criteria: - A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to other property in the same vicinity or district. Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner believes that being set back 400 feet from Main Street gives them a distance condition to deal with and is a hardship condition that would warrant a larger sign. Staff believes there are no obstructions within that setback distance from the building to Main Street. The mass of the building and the corporate colors would tend to draw attention to the site, and a sign complying with the current sign code would be of a size to identify what that project is. 13.14 APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING JIJNE 6 1995 PAGE 3 B. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and district; but which is denied to the property in question. Mr. Hickok stated there are other uses in the area including Holiday Plus, Home Value, Menards, Wickes Furniture, etc. which are very large buildings with very similar conditions off I-694. They have also had the opportunity to ask for larger signs, but in the past larger sign requests have been reviewed and the decisions have not been favorable. There is nothing unusual about this site that would set it apart from those sites. C. That strict application of the Chapter would constitute an unnecessary hardship. Mr. Hickok stated there is opportunity for a sign. It may be smaller, but it is very bold in color and the building has a prominence that would draw a person to it. D. That granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or detrimental to the property in the vicinity or district in which the property is located. Mr. Hickok stated granting the variance has the potential of shifting the favor to this site and providing greater visibility considerations than other buildings within that same vicinity. Mr. Hickok stated staff's recommendation is to deny this request for additional building sign area based on a failure to meet the above criteria. There is a combination of signs. The Home Depot sign has letters six feet in height and the length is over 69 feet. There is a request also for a nursery identification sign. This would be set back and was described by the petitioner as more of an informational sign that this is the nursery and not the main Home Depot store. The nursery sign is not intended to � have that full visibility and is setback in a different position on the building. Mr. Hickok stated the second variance request is to increase the free standing sign size from 80 square feet to 247 square feet. The sign is for Home Depot USA and the two other tenants. This request is not entirely unusual. The City has had one other situation for the Moore Lake shopping complex which had a consolidation request. That request was considered and approved by the Commission and the City Council. The positive part of the consolidation is that it does allow one free standing siqn as opposed to three signs. The petitioner would submit an illustration of how the three signs would appear. A consolidated sign would give a cleaner appearance. 13.15 APPEAL$ COMMIS$ION MEETING,`JIINE 6, 1995 PAGE 4 Mr. Hickok stated this appears to have support historicaily and staff has determined that it does provide an uncluttered appearance and an opportunity to consolidate the signs in one location. The sign will serve three tenants. The Home Depot sign would consist of 169 square feet and 39 square feet for each of the other two tenants. Staff is recommending the following stipulations if the Commission chooses to recommend approval of the request: •� � 1. A covenant shall be filed with Anoka County restricting use of individual free standing signs on Lots 2 and 3. 2. No future variances shall be requested for sign area on this free standing sign. 3. The Variance shall remain in effect uritil: A. The sign is altered in any way, except for routine maintenance and change of inessages, which makes the sign less in compliance with the requirements of this Chapter than it was before the alterations. B. The supporting structure of the sign is replaced or remodeled. C. The face of the sign is replaced or remodeled. D. The sign becomes dilapidated or damaged and the cost of bringing it into compliance is more than fifty (50$j of the value of said sign, at which time all of the sign and its structure be removed. E. Notwithstanding subparagraph (A) above, upon the change of the name of the business being displayed on this sign. 4. No other free standing signs shall exist on Main Street or the Highway 694 frontage. Mr. Hickok stated the Commission may also want to consider another stipulation relating to the 169 square feet, 39 square feet, 39 square feet, which states: 5. In the event that Lots 1 and 2 do not develop, Home Depot USA shall not request a 247 square foot sign. Mr. Hickok stated this would be a safety net. The sign is intended to be a consolidation sign and that is the consideration given to the request. If this were to become one large Home � Depot sign, the Commission may view it in a different light. Staff reviewed the request based on the following criteria: 13.16 APPEALB COMMISSION MSBTING, JUNE 6, 1995 PAGE 5 A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to other property in the same vicinity or district. Mr. Hickok stated staff does not often get the opportunity to have one land owner with three parcels and get a consolidated package to help eliminate the clutter and provide a more appealing presentation. B. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and district; but which is denied to the property in question. Mr. Hickok stated the development could survive with the free standing signs. C. That strict application of the Chapter would constit�te an unnecessary hardship. Mr.�Hickok stated denial would allow them to go back to three signs. D. That granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the pnblic health, safety and general welfare or detrimental to the property in the vicinity or district in which the property is located. Mr. Hickok stated, as long as the owners of properties 2 and 3 understand from the beginning that they are limited to less than 80 square feet, we end up with an attractive package. Mr. Hickok stated the third request is to increase the height of a free standing sign from 25 feet to 69 feet. The standard in all districts for free standing signs is 25 feet. The hardship presented by the petitioner is that the topography is such that � it would require additional height so that motorists would have the opportunity and planning time to get to the exit lane in order to get to the facility. The petitioner has provided photos of how the sign would appear at the 69 foot height. Because the east bound traffic is the most critical, the petitioner provided a rendering of the sign as it would be seen by east bound motorists. Travelling east bound, there is a very large industrial facility with very large tanks. Mr. Hickok stated, in staff's evaluation and in looking at the sign and it's potential location, the sign itself is closer to the highway. There is a grade change that would allow an opportunity to be closer to the highway, still be at the 25 foot height and miss the blocked view of the tanks. The petitioner 13.17 _. . APPEALB CO�IMISSION MEETING, JONE 6, 1995 PAGE 6 can also put a sign on the back of the building. Travelling east, there is still some distance before the overpass in order to exit on University. Staff reviewed the request according to the following criteria: A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to the property or to the intended.use that do not apply�general2y to other progerty in the same vicinity or district. Mr. Hickok stated, taking this back to other similar entities of similar size and with similar topography in the general vicinity, staff believes there are not exceptional or extraordinary circumstances to say that a height of 69 feet is warranted in this location. Menards has a larger sign and Union 76 h�s a tall sign. These are considered nonconforming�and pre-existing. In the event they would come in for modification, they would be asked to comply with the current standard. B. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and district; but which is denied to the property in question. Mr. Hickok stated there are sign possibilities on the site with the combination of building and free standing signs to give the prominence that staff believes is needed. C. That strict application of the Chapter would constitute an unnecessary hardship. Mr. Hickok stated denial of the variance would take us back to free standing signs, lower height signs and building signs but still leave plenty of sign opportunity for the facility. _ D. That granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or detrimental to the property in the vicinity or district in which the property is located. Mr. Hickok stated staff believes that it has the potential of additional visibility that was not considered or allowed on the other sites in the area with similar characteristics and staff may then see other requests for additional height and sign size. If granted, it becomes a competition of its own. Mr. Hickok stated staff recommends denial of the additional sign area; approval of the consolidation request with the four stipulations, and possibly five stipulations; and denial of the free standing sign height. 13.18 .. APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JQNE 6, 1995 _, PAGE 7 Ms. Smith asked if the wall siqn square footage include the nursery sign and the Home Depot sign at the main entrance. Mr. Hickok stated Home Depot would be restricted to a maxiiaum of 445 square feet. The Home Depot dimension comes out at 445 itself. The petitioner's interpretation is that was informational signage inside the nursery. Staff would view that nursery sign as addit%onal signage. Ms. Holderfield stated the Home Depot sign is actually 415 square feet. The nursery sign is 30 square �eet. Ms. Smith asked if the sign for Embers was 25 feet in height. Ms. McPherson stated yes. Mr. Kuechle asked if staff had any data to show what the Home Depot sign would look like at 25 feet. Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner did. IInfortunately, they were unable to provide the illustration for us this evening. Ms. Beaulieu asked the height of tYie other signs on the site. Mr. Hickok stated these were two billboards which he estimated to be less than 40 feet high. Ms. Beaulieu asked, since the 25-foot ordinance was approved, has the City granted any request higher than 25 feet. Ms. McPherson stated, according to the variances granted since 1986, the only variances the City has dealt with are sign area and setback requests. They have not addressed height. Mr. Holderfield stated this will be a flagship store for Home Depot USA and they would like to incorporate the corporate logo which is 6 feet 6 inch letters. They have considered the sign ordinance and have brought the size down to 6�feet, which they feel is adequate and aesthetically pleasing to the building size. She provided a photo of the 6 foot 6 inch letters to provide an idea of what this would look like in proportion to the building. The building is designed for this size letter. Ms. Holderfield stated, in reference to the nursery, the nursery sign is 30 square feet and is a directory for the entrance and exit from the garden center area and is included in the 445 square feet. They feel it is aesthetically pleasing for th� building and again this is a flagship store for the Minnesota market. She thought it would be detrimental to their progress not to be able to advertise properly to future customers. �3.19 APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JIINE 6, 1995 _ PAGE 8 Ms. Beaulieu asked how tall the building letters would be if they were to stick to 321 square feet. Ms. Holderfield stated the letters would need to be 5 feet. This seems tall but it is small when placed on the building. Ms. Savage asked if the petitioner had any problems with the stipulations recommended for the second variance request. Ms. Holderfield stated there were no problems with the stipulations. Ms. Holderfield stated, in reference to the setback, patrons will be coming off I-694 and they want to remind them that Home Depot is there and to be visible for cross traffic coming to Home Depot. In reference to the height, if they are kept to a height of 25 feet, the sign would be only 6 feet off ground level. Dr. Vos asked the height of the building. Ms. Holderfield stated the building would be 25 feet in height. Dr. Vos stated, with the elevation and the height of the building, it must go up another 8 or 9 feet to get to the sign. Ms. Holderfield stated the sign at 25 feet would be below the top of the wall. Ms. Beaulieu asked the height of the Moore Lake consolidated sign. Ms. McPherson stated the sign is 25 feet. The City approved that variance in 1987 or 1988. The height was not an issue at that time. Ms. Savage asked the height the Home Value sign. Ms. McPherson stated she believed that sign was within the 25 feet. Mr. Hickok stated staff did discuss tha clearance between the bottom of the sign and the ground. There would be nothing in the code to prohibit restructuring the sign so that Home Depot keeps 169 square feet but to take the two tenant signs and place them to the side of Home Depot. There are alternatives to give greater clearance underneath the sign. Ms. Holderfield stated they also feel that, since they are consolidating, the City should give them more latitude with a slightly higher sign. Due to the terrain, they simply will not have the visibility if the sign is maintained at 25 feet. 13.20 APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JIINE 6, 1995 PAGE 9 Dr. Vos stated he understood that the billboards were at 40 feet. Mr. Hickok stated he estimated the height based on the 69-foot high sign. In relation to tiie building height, a 69-foot high sign is a little over a five story building. Ms. Beaulieu asked if,the topography was different from other sites. ' Mr. Hickok stated there are some differences there. They do have the overpass on this site but the businesses across the highway also have the same condition. As you get nearer.Highway 65, you look down into a valley to see the signs in that area. There is topography in each case that may be an argument for a higher sign, but he thought there was an opportunity for visibility there. Ms. McPherson stated, under the standards for billboards, there is a height limitation at a maximum of 25 feet above the finished ground grade unless the siqn is intended to be viewed from a highway. Then the 25-foat height shall be computed from the center line of the travelled highway but in no case shall the vertical distance between the body of the sign and the ground be reduced to less than 10 feet. The current code was approved in 1977. The City issued special use permits in 1975 and 1976 for the existing billboards. These are pre-existing. Ms. Holderfield stated, since they are trying to obtain visibility from I-694 at a distance, they feel the height is needed to have traffic maneuver over to the exit lane for traffic safety. Ms. Holderfield stated they want to go forward with the 69 feet in height based on a boom test which shows what is going to be needed to be visible for traffic from both directions. That is 50 feet plus the sign of 19 feet. There are places we could lower the sign and have visibility perhaps to 50 feet. 25 feet will not obtain a visibility for eastbound traffic on I-694. Therefore, a pylon sign would be rendered useless. MOTION by Ms. Beaulieu, seconded by Ms. Smith, to close the public hearing. IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAG$ DECLARL�D THB MOTION CARRIED AND TH$ PIIBLIC HEARING CIA88D AT 8:13 P.M. Mr. Kuechle stated he thought they could allow some increase in the amount of wall sign. He felt the nursery sign is information and not reaily a part of the advertising sign for the building itself. He has no problem with consolidating the three signs 13.21 APPEALS COMMISSiON MEETING, JUNE 6, 1995 PAGE 10 into one. Going from 25 feet to 69 feet is a problem. He can see going to 69 feet but he would have a hard time arguing to keep it at 25 feet when the billboards closer to the road are at 40 feet. He would be in favor of some compromise between the 25 feet and 69 feet. Ms. Smith agreed. She had no problem with the wall sign request. That size of sign on that size of building is not out of line. The consolidated sign is qood to take away clutter. The height increase is too dramatic of an increase. She might have considered something a bit closer to the required height. But there are businesses along I-694 with the same conditions and there exposure seems to be fine. Ms. Savage stated she had no problem with the consolidated sign with the stipulations. She would have to vote against the other requests. One reason is that the other comparable businesses are conforming to the sign ordinance. She did not think they should be making an exception here; otherwise, they will have to consider increasing the signs for the other business. She understand that a business wants the most visibility but they must consider aesthetics of iarge signs. One example is that huge Union 76 sign. We certainly have seen as we travei many extremely tall gas station siqns. They are helpful to see them but they are terribly visually polluting. That is the purpose of an ordinance. The other businesses have been able to conform to the sign ordinance. She thought this business, as pointed out in the staff report, is very large and imposing. She thought the business will be well known in the community and it will not be necessary to have the increased signage. Ms. Beaulieu agreed with Ms. Savage. She thought 25 feet was a good number to adhere to. If you could make an exception that there is 6 feet of topography, you could add that. Since it is similar to other businesses that adhere to the 25 feet, she is opposed to the 69 feet. She has no problem with the second variance request with the stipulations and likes the consolidation. The wall sign does not look too bad. Again, it is the precedent that someone will want an increase in the wall sign as well. For that reason, she feels the 321 square feet with 5 foot letters would be as good as the larger 6 foot letters. Dr. Vos stated the first variance from 321 square feet seems reasonable. The second request to 247 square feet with consolidation of signs and with the stipulations seems to be reasonable. He is uncomfortable with the 69 feet. It seems that 50 feet would seem to be nicer. One of the things we have to be aware of is, when comparing Target, that Target could put up a 2-foot sign and people would turn off. This business is not known. If they could think of a symbol, perhaps they could get 13.22 APPEALS COMMI83ION MEETING, JUNE 6, 1995 PAGE 11 by with it. He would still have to deny the 69 feet. If they could come up with some other arrangement, they could have more space underneath. Ms. Savage requested a motion to increase the area of the wall sign.

An amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan, from its current Industrial designation, to a Commercial designation will be required prior to a rezoning. svrn�,RY oF issvES : Home Depot, Inc. plans to construct a compiex containing a total of 142,316 s.f. of retail space. The Home Depot Store will utilize 103,550 s.f. of that space. The proposed site plan for the facility also shows an attached 27,972 s.f. Home Depot Garden Center. Attached to the north wall of the Home Depot Store is a 26,600 s.f. separately owned retail facility (owner unknown at this time). Provisions have also been made for a 5,000 s.f. free-standing peripheral retail facility along Main Street. RECONIl�tENDED ACTIONS : Staff recommended denial of rezoning ZOA #95-04. Similarly, staff recommends denial of this request, CPA #95-OZ, to amend the Comprehensive Plan from Industrial to Commercial. The amendment would create an island of commercial in an established pattern of industrial uses.

DEVEIAPMENT SITE In 1974 the Burlington Northern rail lines formed a Land Development Corporation to aid in the development of the rail lines property that lined their Rail system. Burlington Northern had owned the property since 1965. A Burlington representative indicated (in 1974) that the property had not been developed because Burlington had plans for what they called the Northtown Yards. Their exact plans for the Northtown Yards were not certain and until specific plans were available, the Rail Company did want to dispose of the property. Burlington's dev�lopment division did believe that a Motel to handle their Northtown rail crews would be an appropriate use of the land closest to I-694. In 1976 the City reviewed a request by Burlington Northern and Carl T. George, Georgetown Motel, to rezone a 4.6 acre parcel adjacent to I-694. The rezoning would remove the parcel from the City's industrial land inventory and allow a C-2, General business designation to accommodate a motel and restaurant. In 1977 the rezoning request to allow the Georgetown Motel/restaurant development was approved. Neither the restaurant or the Georgetown Motel complex was ever built. The land from that point was marketed as a commercial/ industrial opportunity. The City has received several inquiries for the 14.5 acres for industrial development; to date, no formal requests have been made. 3 14.03 EVALUATION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CRITERIA Compatibility of the Proposed Use with the Proposed District The proposed use of the site is a series of 3 retail entities totalling 142,316 s.f. The speculative retail uses are consistent with the language of the C-3 district. A C-3 zoning designation is consistent with a Comprehensive designation of Commercial. Compatibility of the Proposed District with Adjacent IIses and Zoninq The land use plan in the City's Comprehensive Plan has the subject parcel designated as Industrial. The land tv the east of this parcel is designated Commercial on the Comprehensive Plan. A C-3, General Shopping Center complex exists on this parcel. The Comprehensive Plan designates the areas north, west and south as Industrial. Industrial uses now occupy a majority of the land in this area. ** STIPOLATION** The Comprehensive Plan Amendment shall be approved only after the City has approved ZOA #95-04, P3 #95-02, azid SP �95-05. Impact on Metropolitan Systems The following criteria are based on criteria used by the Metropolitan Council to evaluate plan amendments. Changes to IIrban Service Boundary The City of Fridley is a first-ring suburb that is entirely within the Urban Service Boundaries as Defined by the Metropolitan Land Planning. Act (Minn. Stats. 473.851-473.872). Impacts to the boundary do not apply to this proposal. Chanqes to Timinq and staqinq of IIrban service Area Staging of the Urban Service area does not apply to this proposal since the area is within the existing urban service area. Wastewater Treatment There will be no increase in the amount of wastewater treatment as a result of changing the land use from Industrial to Commercial. Discharqe to More Than One Metropolitan Interceptor The flow from this amended area goes to 4-NS-521 in accordance with regional plans. The flows will not be diverted from one interceptor to another. 4 14.04 The Engineering Department has reviewed the grading and drainage plan to assure that the plan meets the requirements of the City, 5ix Cities Watershed District and the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The storm water will be ponded on site and released into the MnDot storm water system adjacent to I-694. Two detention ponds will retain the water on site. Additional information including calculations and acceptable CFS measurements by MnDot have been submitted but have yet to be approved. ** STIPIILATION ** The petitioner shall provide verification of approval of the storm water manaqement plan from The Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Six Cities Watershed District. Transportation Systems The City must determine that rezoning the combination of 4.7 acres of C-2, General Business and 9.8 acres of M-2, Heavy Industrial is appropriate. The use of the subject parcel, as it is currently zoned, would allow a 4.7 acre commercial use and a 9.8 acre industrial use. Combined, this acreage represents the largest remaining land opportunity for an industrial developer. A rezoning would be required on the 4.7 acre parcel, however rezoning the 4.7 acres to Industrial is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff requested that a formal traffic study be prepared by the petitioner to provide a better understanding of the traffic impacts of this development. For comparative purposes, staff asked for traffic numbers that could be expected if the land developed as it is currently zoned versus what volumes are anticipated with the proposed plan. Based on the impact analysis, there will be an increase in traffic utilizing 61st Avenue N.E. to Main Street. There will also be an increase in traffic at certain periods of the day from University Avenue on to 57th Street. According to the traffic consultants, this increase will not be sufficient enough to degrade the level of service at that intersection. The analysis did reveal existing problems at the intersection that are related to the physical location of the University Avenue/57th Avenue N.E. intersection in relationship to the exit from Highway 694 to northbound University Avenue. With current exit Highway the necessary traffic conditions it is difficult for a individual to 694, northbound on University Avenue, and cross over lanes of traffic to turn left onto 57th Street. 5 14.05 A modest increase in the number of vehicie northbound trips on Main Street from the development area south of Highway 694 is also anticipated. The traffic study also revealed a degradation of service level at the intersection of Main Street and 57th Avenue N.E. The pre- development level drops from an "A" (from east approach) to a"D/B" (east-west approach) The City Council has asked for additional information regarding the traffic aspects of this proposal. Specifically, the Council requested additional information regarding the intersections of 53rd Ave N.E., 61st Ave N.E. and trip origination. ** STIPt1LATION ** The Petitioner shall be responsible for the � cost of the traffic improvements necessary to accommodate the traffic generated by the development includinq siqnalization or other improvements as determined by Anoka County or. MnDot now or in the futu=e. � � The City must determine whether the extension of the University/57th Avenue commercial node west of Main Street is appropriate. As an entire Industrial parcel (assuming the rezoning of the 4.7 acre parcel to Industrial), the potential traffic count would likely be lower. This assumption is based on staff's use of the Barton Aschman average daily trip generation numbers for a manufacturing/office complex. Though the Barton Aschman figures account for less than 10 acres of Industrial, staff multiplied the potential building size by 3(109 x 3= 327,300) and determined that even at 3 times the average daily trips, a manufacturing/office complex would produce 105 less daily trips.

A bikeway/walkway will eventually provide a linkage to the regional trail system. Housinq This amendment will not impact the City's housing plan (long term or short term goals). , � Employment It is anticipated that between 150 and 200 full and part-time jobs will suppleanent the City's employment mix as a result of this development.
