COMMUNITY PLANNING - DESIGN - MARKET RESEARCH
TO: Little Canada Planning Commission
FROM: Stephen Grittman
DATE: August 10, 1999
RE: Little Canada - Richie Subdivision
FILE NO: 758.09 - 99.26
Michael and Katherine Richie have applied for a subdivision of and at 2966 LaBore Road.
The existing parcel is approximately 5.8 acres in size, from which an 18,000 square foot
lot would be subdivided. In addition, a small triangle of land is shown to be split and
added to the neighboring property to the west.
The proposed subdivision meets all zoning requirements, and the subdivider shows the
required drainage and utility easements along the lot lines. The primary issue raised by
the request is that the proposal would preclude any future resubdivision of the larger
property. This may be the intent of the property owner, however the City's policy has been
to require the potential for resubdivision, due to long term changes in property owner
needs, and concerns over requests for future variances to allow later, non - conforming
subdivisions. For this reason, the Subdivision Ordinance requires that the subdivision of
a small parcel from a larger property be accompanied by a concept sketch which illustrates
how the larger property may be further subdivided in the future.
There are two options under which the subdivision may be allowed. First, the subdivider
should be required to file a covenant against the property, in favor of the City, which
precludes further subdivision. This covenant would serve to warn future owners of the fact
that variances needed to allow additional subdivision would not likely be approved. The
second option would be to require the dedication of road easement at this time to provide
access to the south part of the property, along with the sketch plan referred to in the
previous paragraph. This option would ensure that a future resubdivision request could
be accommodated without variance.

The first option does not preclude a future Council from granting a subdivision variance,
however it does provide a cautionary notice for buyers who might consider asking. The
second option is the surest in terms of protecting the City's planning process, but is less
likely to be acceptable to the owners. The recent platting /street dedication issues raised
in the Twin Lake Trail area illustrate that the reservation of right -of -way does not remove
all concerns over future development. As a result, staff recommends approval of the
subdivision, subject to a condition that a covenant is recorded restricting future
resubdivision as discussed in this report.

PLANNING COMMISSION
AUGUST 12, 1999
PROPERTY Mr. Bill Richie appeared before the Commission requesting
DIVISION — approval of the division of his property into three lots. One lot
2966 LABORE would remain as his homesite, the other would be a building site
ROAD — for his son, and the third is a small portion of land that would
RICBIE be sold to Bill Shorn and combined with his homesite located at
2940 LaBore Road. With regard to the City Planner's
_
recommendation that a concept plan be developed for the future
development of the Richie property, Mr. Richie pointed out that
any road access into the back of his property would come from
Arcade Street. Richie pointed out the low elevation at the back of
his property and did not feel it was feasible to develop the site with
a road coming in from LaBore Road.
The City Planner indicated that when large parcels are subdivided,
there is concern for how the remainder of the property will
develop. As a result, a concept plan is recommended. The option
would be that a restrictive covenant be placed on the parcel
restricting it from future subdivision.
Richie again stated that the only way to develop the property
would be with a road from Arcade Street.
There was no one from the general public wishing to comment on
this matter.
Carson recommended approval of the property division for 2966
LaBore Road as requested by Mr. William Richie subject to
compliance with the recommendation of the City Planner that a
restrictive covenant be placed on the property precluding the future
subdivision of it.
Motion seconded by Kraemer.
Motion carried 4 — 0.
VARIANCE — Mr. Cary Sorenson appeared before the Commission requesting a
ALLAN AVE. — variance from the requirement that a lot have frontage on an
SORENSON improved street. Sorenson pointed out that there are two single -
family lots of record on either side of unimproved Allan Avenue
just east of Greenbrier Street. Sorenson reported that he is
proposing to construct a home on the lot south of Allan Avenue
and access the home via a driveway over the Allan Avenue street
right -of -way. Sewer and water would be accessed from Greenbrier
Street.

Russ Fischer, Metro Cleaning Service located at 209 Ryan Lane,
has requested that the Council table action on his Conditional Use
Permit and Variance request pending the outcome of soil borings
which he is having done on his property.
Mr. Pedersen introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 99 -8-219 — TABLING ACTION ON THE RUSS
FISCHER, METRO- CLEANING, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
AND VARL4NCE APPLICATION AT THE REQUEST OF THE
APPLICANT PENDING A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE
PLANNING COMMISSION
The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Morelan.
Ayes (5) Pedersen, Morelan, Fahey, LaValle, Scalze.
Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted.
Mayor Fahey opened the public hearing to consider the division of the
Bill Richie property located at 2966 LaBore Road into three lots. It was
noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval subject to
the property owner entering into a covenant restricting the future
subdivision of the parcel.
Fahey indicated that he would like to see a plan for how the area will
develop in the future. His concern was that the property division would
result in landlocking the future development of property in the back, and
felt that the City needed to take steps to provide for access into this area.
Fahey agreed that the way to develop the area would be with a road
coming in from Arcade Street. However, there needs to be an outlet
provided to LaBore Road for this access road.
Scalze noted that in 1992 the City Planner did a preliminary road layout
for the area. She was not sure whether this layout was based on any
Page 6
MING 1 E
CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 25, 1999
topographical information, however. Scalze suggested that there are some
areas left where access could be provided to LaBore Road, particularly in
the area of the powerlines.
Richie agreed that the way to develop the back area would be with a road
from Arcade Street. He noted that there is some wetland areas in the back,
but pointed out that roads have been put through these types of areas
before. Richie indicated that given the grade of his property it would not
be feasible for the access road to LaBore Road to come through at that
point. He noted that it would be very expensive to get sewer in with these
grades. Richie suggested that the Scully land might be a possibility for
road access to LaBore Road.
Scalze pointed out that the Scully property only has 75 feet of frontage on
LaBore Road.
Richie pointed out the access point that exists to the Beam
Avenue/Kohlman area.
Scalze suggested that there are also areas where access can be provided to
LaBore Road.
Fahey again stated that the Council needs to look at the thoroughfare plan
for the area to be sure that the Richie subdivision would not result in
property being landlocked. Another consideration would be the length of
the cui -de -sac that the City would be willing to approve if there was no
way to connect a road from Arcade Street out to LaBore Road. Fahey
suggested that the thoroughfare plan be updated and that the City Engineer
also comment on this issue. Fahey stated that from a planning standpoint,
this information needs to be on record.
Richie stated that he did not want the access point to LaBore Road next to
his house. He agreed, however, that the road would have to come in from
Arcade Street.
Fahey pointed out that it would not be feasible to have a 3,000 -foot long
cui -de -sac. He agreed with Scalze that an access point at the powerlines
might be a possibility.
Richie asked why the City didn't get involved with Maplewood when they
were developing their land. Scalze indicated that Maplewood doesn' t
want to have border roads given the difficulties that result with
maintenance issues. Scalze pointed out that there is enough property in
this area to develop without the assistance of Maplewood. Scalze
suggested that it may be a good use ofTIF dollars to assist in obtaining
Page 7
?iHNU1k.S
CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 25, 1999
access from Arcade Street.
Fahey suggested that action on the Richie property division be tabled until
the Council can review the thoroughfare plan including recommended
easements for road access into this back area. Fahey suggested that the
Richie property division may be fine as proposed. However, he felt that
the Council needed to review this additional information before
proceeding.
There was no one from the general public present wishing to comment on
this matter.
Upon motion by LaVaile, seconded by Pedersen, the public hearing was
closed.
Morelan questioned whether the City will be able to put a plan in place for
the area that will not be affected by the Richie subdivision. Scaize
suggested that obtaining a few elevations and putting together some
diagrams based on those elevations will be very helpful. If the Richie
property, is too steep for an access road, then this should be documented.
Morelan suggested that he would be hard- pressed to deny the subdivision
based on the fact that the access road could go through the Richie
property. Scalze pointed out that the information will show if there are
other options for this access road.
Pedersen suggested that if this is the only place the access road can go, the
Council will have to deal with the situation. However, if there are other
options, then the Richie subdivision is not a concern.
Fahey suggested that once the information is in, the City should proceed to
obtain easements for the road before someone else proposes the
subdivision of their property or pulls a building permit and other parcels
are landlocked.
Mr. LaValle introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION N0. 99 -8-220 — TABLING ACTION ON THE RICHIE
PROPERTY DIVISION PENDING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
FROM CITY STAFF RELATIVE TO A THOROUGHFARE PLAN
FOR THE AREA AND ACCESS POINTS TO LABORE ROAD FOR A
FUTURE ROAD IMPROVEMENT COMING IN FROM ARCADE
STREET

CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 25, 1999
The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Scalze.
Ayes (5) LaValle, Scalze, Pedersen, Morelan, Fahey.
Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted.
VARIANCE - Fahey opened the public hearing to consider the application for a Variance
ALLAN AVE. — from the requirement of improved street frontage for a lot abutting
SORENSON unimproved Allan Avenue as requested by Gary Sorenson. The Planning
Commission has recommended denial of the variance given there is no
hardship present to justify approval.
Sorenson appeared before the Council and required that he has owned this
lot for 25 years and would like to develop it. Sorenson suggested that
Allan Avenue may never go through. Sorenson offered to put in a 20 -foot
wide drive to provide access to the lot that he pointed out would
accommodate the concerns raised by the Fire Marshal. He is also willing
to run water and sewer to the lot as well as prepay estimated assessments
for the future improvement of Allan Avenue.
Sorenson stated that he does not want to put a burden on his neighbors
who would prefer to see Allan Avenue remain unimproved. Sorenson
stated that this is a nicely wooded area, and he does not blame his
neighbors for wanting the area to remain as it is. Therefore, he is trying to
make his request such that it will have the least impact on the surrounding
property owners.
Sorenson pointed out that Allan Avenue may not go through for 10 to 20
years. The hardship that exists is with the original developer in that the
development plan for the area was not completed and Allan Avenue was
not improved. Sorenson stated that he has waited for 25 years to develop
this lot and would like to do so now.
Morelan asked if Sorenson was willing to put in the street at this time.
Sorenson stated that he was, however, he was sure the neighbors did not
want it. Scalze noted that when half the property owners want a new
street that is the time to put it in.
Fahey suggested that the City not wait for a petition for the road
improvement because he did not think there would be 35% of the
benefiting property owners interested in the street. Fahey suggested that
the City should move forward to initiate the street improvement. He also
noted that a number of other similar requests for development on an
unimproved street have been denied. Fahey stated that if Mr. Sorenson
wants to develop the street should go in. He also felt there was no way
that improvement would proceed unless the Council initiated the

PROPERTY Mayor Fahey opened the continuation of public hearing to consider the
DIVISION — request of Bill Richie for the division of his property located at 2966
2966 LABORE LaBore Road.
ROAD —
WM. RICHE The City Engineer presented a diagram prepared by the City Planner
showing how the LaBore Road area might develop in the future. He noted
the proposed new streets running parallel to LaBore Road as well as the
access points for these roads. The Engineer noted that one of the access
points goes through the property north of Mr. Richie's at 2970 LaBore
Road The Engineer felt the location of this access point was better than
through the Richie property as it results in a shorter cul -de -sac length.
Fahey suggested that there should be no additional subdivisions allowed in
this area without the road improvement. Fahey indicated that he did not
want to landlock the development of any existing parcels. The Engineer
noted that the yellow area on the concept thoroughfare plan is a 100 foot
buffer area preserved at the edge of the wetland.
Scalze felt that the property at 2970 LaBore Road was narrow and asked if
there was enough room for an access road She also noted that the concept
plan shows the potential for about 30 lots.
The Public Works Director also noted that the topography of the area
hinders the locations of access points. He felt that the subdivision of the

Scalze pointed out that other property owners in the area might be
interested in subdividing their property. She asked at what point the
Council would preclude subdivision without a road improvement.
Fahey suggested that a more comprehensive plan for the area needs to be
developed. He suggested that perhaps this is a topic for the City's goal
setting session. He also suggested that the City should take a look at other
undeveloped parcels in the City and plan for their future development.
The City Administrator suggested that now that this plan has been
developed, that a neighborhood meeting be held to present the plan to the
property owners.

Kathy Richie appeared before the Council requesting that an amendment
to the covenant agreement relating to the Richie subdivision. She noted
that the agreement as it stands would prohibit a reconfiguration of lot
lines resulting in an increase in the size of her lot. Kathy Richie reported
that should her father -in -law, Bill Richie, ever decide to sell his home, he
would divide off the back portion of the lot which contains the large
garage and it would be attached to their lot.
The Council discussed this issue at length pointing out the need for
development of a thoroughfare plan for the area and their intent to limit
further subdivision of the Richie property until a road is developed to
serve the back of the properties abutting LaBore Road It was also pointed
out that the large garage on the Bill Richie lot is a legal non - conforming
use. Since the time the garage was constructed, the City Code has been
changed limiting the amount of garage space allowed on a property to a
maximum of 1,500 square feet. Therefore, a property reconfiguration
joining the back of the Bill Richie property with the garage to the new lot
would not be allowed.
The City Administrator indicated that the City will be conducting a
neighborhood meeting with the area this summer to obtain input on a
concept thoroughfare plan that the City has developed for the area.
It was the consensus of the Council that the covenant agreement would
stand as approved at this time.
The City Attorney requested the Council call a closed session following
this evenings meeting in order to discuss a settlement offer made to the
City on behalf of the Guerin Family.

MINUTES The minutes of the February 15, 2001 Planning Commission meeting were
approved as submitted.
PROPERTY The Planning Commission reviewed the request for division of the
DIVISION — Bill Richie property at 2940 LaBore Road into three lots. It was noted
2940 LaBORE that this property division was approved on February 23, 2000. However,
ROAD — given that the division was not recorded with Ramsey County within six
RICHIE months of approval, the approval lapsed.
Roycraft noted that at the time the division was first being considered, the
City held some meetings on the issue of a thoroughfare plan for this area.
The proposal called for a road coming in from Arcade Street to serve this
area. Roycraft noted that there was opposition to this thoroughfare plan.
Keis indicated that at such time as there is a proposal to develop this area,
the Planning Commission would be involved in the development review.
Carson recommended approval of the Richie subdivision request for 2940
LaBore Road subject the conditions in the previous approval outlined in
City Council Resolution No. 2000 -2 -44.

not be used for business use.
Keis asked about the size of Cossack's house. Cossack noted that his
house is approximately 1,000 square feet in size. The garage he is
proposing to building is 1,152 square feet. Cossack indicated that he plans
to add onto the house in a year or two.
Duray asked about the exterior finish for the garage. Cossack replied that
the garage would be stucco to match the house.
Lorraine Pelton, Eli .Road resident, asked for a definition of Conditional
Use Permit.
The City Planner indicated that the City's Code allows a garage up to
1,000 square feet in size as a permitted use. Garages that are between
1,000 and 1,500 square feet in size require a Conditional Use Permit. This
permit requires review by both the Planning Commission and the City
Council to determine whether or not the garage fits the site and the
neighborhood and to ensure that there is no business use of the garage.
Pelton pointed out that the garage is a large building and the area is
primarily residential in nature. Pelton noted that the property owners in
this area want to keep it residential. Pelton informed the Commission that
at one time she requested a 5 -foot variance to subdivide her property so
that her son could build a single - family home. That variance request was
denied because the Council felt the variance would spoil the appearance of
the neighborhood. Pelton pointed out that now Mr. Cossack would like to
build a garage in the neighborhood that is larger than some houses. She
also noted that at one time Cossack had lithos parked on his property for
most of one winter.
Cossack indicated that he did park some limos in his yard for a short
period, but moved them into a warehouse in December of 1999. Cossack
again indicated that he will not use this garage for business purposes, but

MEMORANDUM
TO: Little Canada Planning Commission
FROM: Stephen Grittman
DATE: May 7, 2001
RE: Little Canada - Jim Cossack Garage Conditional Use Permit
FILE NO: 758.09 - 01.09
Jim Cossack has applied for a Conditional Use Permit for an oversized garage on his
parcel at 421 Eli Road. Currently, the parcel contains a single family home with no garage.
The property is approximately 158 feet wide by 235 feet deep - .85 acres in area. The
applicant is proposing a detached garage of 1,152 square feet, larger than the threshold
of 1,000 square feet in area. Detached accessory buildings between 1,000 square feet
and 1,500 square feet are allowed by CUP.
The City has reviewed similar requests with a requirement that over -sized garages be built
only on parcels where the size of the lot and the surrounding neighborhood result in no
concerns over compatibility or crowding. In addition, such buildings are required to be put
only to residential storage and parking uses - no business activity is permitted. Finally, the
building materials of the accessory building are to be similar to those of the principal
building.
The proposed building would exceed all setback requirements, and as noted above, the
parcel is much larger than the basic single family lot. The applicant indicates in his
application that the building will be utilized solely for personal vehicle storage, and no
business use will be made of the structure. No information has been submitted on building
materials, although a sketch is included illustrating the size. With the condition that the
building materials match those of the existing single family home, planning staff
recommends approval of the CUP, based on the finding that the lot is sufficiently large to
accommodate the larger accessory building without concern for crowding or negative
impacts on neighboring property.

Motion seconded by Barraclough.
Motion carried 6 — 0.
CUP FOR Mr. Jim Cossack, 421 Eli Road, appeared before the Commission
OVERSIZED requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow construction
GARAGE — of a 36 -foot by 32 foot garage which is larger than the 1,000 square
421 ELI ROAD — foot maximum garage allowed as a permitted use. Cossack pointed out
JIM COSSACK that he does not currently have a garage. He also noted that the garage
would be used for storage of personal and recreational vehicles and would
not be used for business use.
Keis asked about the size of Cossack's house. Cossack noted that his
house is approximately 1,000 square feet in size. The garage he is
proposing to building is 1,152 square feet. Cossack indicated that he plans
to add onto the house in a year or two.
Duray asked about the exterior finish for the garage. Cossack replied that
the garage would be stucco to match the house.
Lorraine Pelton, Eli Road resident, asked for a definition of Conditional
Use Permit.
The City Planner indicated that the City's Code allows a garage up to
1,000 square feet in size as a permitted use. Garages that are between
1,000 and 1,500 square feet in size require a Conditional Use Permit. This
permit requires review by both the Planning Commission and the City
Council to determine whether or not the garage fits the site and the
neighborhood and to ensure that there is no business use of the garage.
Pelton pointed out that the garage is a large building and the area is
primarily residential in nature. Pelton noted that the property owners in
this area want to keep it residential. Pelton informed the Commission that
at one time she requested a 5 -foot variance to subdivide her property so
that her son could build a single - family home. That variance request was
denied because the Council felt the variance would spoil the appearance of
the neighborhood. Pelton pointed out that now Mr. Cossack would like to
build a garage in the neighborhood that is larger than some houses. She
also noted that at one time Cossack had limos parked on his property for
most of one winter.
Cossack indicated that he did park some limos in his yard for a short
period, but moved them into a warehouse in December of 1999. Cossack
again indicated that he will not use this garage for business purposes, but
Page 21
MINUTES
PLANNING COMMISSION
MAY 10, 2001
rather for the storage of two vehicles, two snowmobiles, two 4- wheelers,
and other yard equipment. Cossack felt that the storage of these items
inside was better for the neighborhood than outside storage. Cossack
noted that he has plenty of room on his property for the garage, and
pointed out that he will exceed all setback requirements.
Pelton indicated that her concern was the potential for business use of the
garage, and indicated her objection to approval of the CUP. Pelton noted
that some of the neighbors could not be present this evening since one
family was out -of -town and there was a death in another family. Pelton
requested that action on the CUP be tabled until these neighbors could be
present.
Pelton asked how the City can allow a variance in this instance when one
was not approved so that she could subdivide her property.
Keis noted that Cossack is requesting a Conditional Use Permit that is
different from a Variance. Keis noted that the City allows garages up to
1,500 square feet in size. It is only when a garage falls between 1,000 and
1,500 square feet that a Conditional Use Permit is required.
The City Planner noted that in the case of a Variance request a hardship
must be present to warrant granting the Variance. A Variance is needed
for something that is outside the Code. The Planner further noted that the
request for a 1,152 square foot garage is inside the Code, but requires
special review.
Duray pointed out that the Cossack property is a large lot and all setbacks
are being met. Duray pointed out that the City has approved similar
requests for oversized garages on large parcels.
Cossack pointed out that if he shortened up the depth of the garage by
three feet, it would be under the 1,000 square foot limitation and would be
a permitted use. However, he would like a 32 foot depth so that he can
park a snowmobile or 4- wheeler in front of the vehicles. Cossack noted
that either way the 36 -foot width of the garage would remain the same,
thus the appearance from the street is the same.
Wojcik noted that the concern of the neighbor appears to be the long-term
use of the garage and the potential that if the property changes hands the
garage could be put to a business use.
The City Planner noted that the CUP would run with the land. If the
property changes hands, the same conditions would apply on the use of the
garage. He further noted that the property is zoned R -1. Horne
occupations are allowed, but they are limited to within the home and
Page 22
MINUTES
PLANNING COMMISSION

subject to the restrictions of the Code. The Planner noted that the Code
would not allow for a business use of the garage.
Roycraft asked Mrs. Pelton if she felt there is a hardship to the
neighborhood in the granting of this CUP. Pelton replied that her
apprehension is for the potential business use of this garage and noted that
there are no assurances that the garage would be used for storage of
personal vehicles only.
Roycraft noted that the Code does not allow for the business use of this
garage.
Carson recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit as requested
by Jim Cossack allowing construction of a 36 foot by 32 foot garage at
421 Eli Road subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City
Planner as outlined in his report dated May 7, 2001, subject to the exterior
of the garage matching the existing house, and subject to there being no
business use of this garage.
Motion seconded by Duray.
Motion carried 6 — 0.
CUP FOR Mr. Dick Cossack, Gordies' Place, appeared before the Commission
BOCCE BALL — requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for commercial
GORDIE'S recreation (bocce ball) at a location that serves alcoholic beverages.
PLACE Cossack indicated that bocce ball would be played inside the boot hockey
rink. He felt that leagues may play three nights per week and felt that the
10 p.m. time limitation was workable. It was noted that Gordies' currently
has CUP's allowing both volleyball and boot hockey six nights per week
with three tournaments per year. The time limitation for games is 10 p.m.
A resident of the area indicated that he had some concerns with noise. but
indicated that otherwise Gordies' has done a good job with their business.
It was noted that bocce ball would likely be a quieter recreational sport
than volleyball or boot hockey.
The Planning Commission noted that the City has received one letter in
support of the CUP and one in opposition. The Commission also
reviewed the report on police calls to Gordies'. Duray felt that the number
of police calls was minimal for the number of people that go to Gordies'
and participate in volleyball and boot hockey. Duray stated that he felt
Gordies' does an excellent job and has been creative in attracting
customers.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Little Canada Planning Commission
FROM: Stephen Grittman
DATE: May 7, 2001
RE: Little Canada - Gordies Place - CUP Amendment
FILE NO: 758.09 - 01.042
Gordies Place is seeking an amendment to their Conditional Use Permit for Commercial
Recreation to allow use of the ice rink for bocce ball during summer months. The existing
CUP permits Volleyball on the adjacent outdoor court six evenings per week, and hockey
on the ice rink six evenings per week. With this amendment, the applicant would be
permitted both volleyball and bocce ball during summer.
In previous applications, concern has been expressed by neighboring apartment residents
that noise and /or lights would be disruptive to the area. The City required screening and
landscaping, in addition to control of the site lighting, to minimize impacts on the residents.
As a part of this application, the City will have the opportunity to document any issues
relating to the effectiveness of previous screening and lighting requirements.
The new permit would expand the quantity of activity on the site during summer evening
hours over the current permit, but the location on the site would remain the same as in
previous approvals. Except where screening and /or lighting measures required by earlier
applications have shown to be ineffective, the site should be set up to accommodate the
bocce ball activities in the rink area. As with the existing CUP, the City also has the ability
to limit hours of outdoor operation and review security if necessary. If the current level of
screening and buffering have been effective, planning staff would recommend approval
of the CUP amendment subject to continuation of the previous management efforts,
including lighting control and hours of operation, as well as verification that all previous
requirements have been implemented.

City of Little Canada
ATTN: Kathy
I would like to be assured that the police reports of the violations of Gordies
current Conditional Use Permits be given to the Planning Commission and the City
Council. I have personally called the Sheriff's office at least 10 times in the last year to
report that Gordies was in violation of their Conditional Use Permit. I have spoken to
Mayor Michael Fahey, and basically been told that I should not worry about it.
One day last winter, I came home to a view out my living room window of a
mountain of dirty snow. This mountain was created by their parking lot being plowed for
the tournament they held at that time. This mountain was almost two stories high.
During the period that the mountain was there, numerous children were playing, and
sledding on it. I see this as a real safety issue, especially in this sue -happy society in
which we live. Could the city afford a lawsuit for not enforcing their ordinances? This
spring, as the mountain melted, the debris and trash created an even worse eye sore.
Gordies, at a Planning Commission Meeting, assured me that they always made sure
the trash was picked up so as to not create an eyesore for the neighbors. I believe the
city has ordinances prohibiting eye sore conditions in a neighborhood. It appears that
the city refuses to enforce their ordinances to certain individuals and businesses.
The perception is that the city does not care about the quiet, tax- paying citizens
and prefers to cater to the businesses. I was told, when I first moved to Little Canada in
1972, and was thinking about getting involved in politics, that if I wanted to get
anywhere In politics, I better be seen at Gordies, The perception is that, perhaps, the
sheriff and city council are paid off by Gordies. One time I called 911 about a fight in
the parking lot at Gordies, it took the sheriff aver 1 hour to respond.
At the last Planning Commission Meeting, to grand Gordies a Conditional Use
Permit, I was assured that the Permit would be reviewed annually. My guess is that the
review will overlook the numerous violations of the Conditional Use Permit, as they have
been overlooked for the past several years. If fact, the Conditional Use Permit to allow
volleyball six nights a week was only passed because Gordies was violating their
Conditional Use Permit to have volleyball only two nights a week. The perception is that
one does whatever they want, and because there is money involved, the city council
approves it.
When is the "Rubber Stamp" YES going to stop and justice prevail in our fair,
beautiful city? I would appreciate hearing a response from the appropriate people about
these matters.
Thank You,
Keith Flanagan

We live at 179 E. Little Canada Rd., Fleur Royale Condominiums, in Unit 4126.
We are in the South/East corner, Gordies' closest neighbors. We have never had a
problem with the volleyball games, the hockey rink, and certainly will not have a pro-
blem with bocce ball. In the past, any recreational events have been completed no later
than 10:OOPM, and we trust that this will be the case with any future plans. We are
unable to attend the meetings, and hope this will convey our positive feelings and con-
cerns.
Respectfully,
u

subject to the restrictions of the Code. The Planner noted that the Code
would not allow for a business use of the garage.
Roycraft asked Mrs. Pelton if she felt there is a hardship to the
neighborhood in the granting of this CUP. Pelton replied that her
apprehension is for the potential business use of this garage and noted that
there are no assurances that the garage would be used for storage of
personal vehicles only.
Roycraft noted that the Code does not allow for the business use of this
garage.
Carson recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit as requested
by Jim Cossack allowing construction of a 36 foot by 32 foot garage at
421 Eli Road subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City
Planner as outlined in his report dated May 7, 2001, subject to the exterior
of the garage matching the existing house, and subject to there being no
business use of this garage.
Motion seconded by Duray.
Motion carried 6 — 0.
CUP FOR Mr. Dick Cossack, Gordies' Place, appeared before the Commission
BOCCE BALL — requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for commercial
GORDIE'S recreation (bocce ball) at a location that serves alcoholic beverages.
PLACE Cossack indicated that bocce ball would be played inside the boot hockey
rink. He felt that leagues may play three nights per week and felt that the
10 p.m. time limitation was workable. It was noted that Gordies' currently
has CUP's allowing both volleyball and boot hockey six nights per week
with three tournaments per year. The time limitation for games is 10 p.m.
A resident of the area indicated that he had some concerns with noise, but
indicated that otherwise Gordies' has done a good job with their business.
It was noted that bocce ball would likely be a quieter recreational sport
than volleyball or boot hockey.
The Planning Commission noted that the City has received one letter in
support of the CUP and one in opposition. The Commission also
reviewed the report on police calls to Gordies'. Duray felt that the number
of police calls was minimal for the number of people that go to Gordies'
and participate in volleyball and boot hockey. Duray stated that he felt
Gordies' does an excellent job and has been creative in attracting
customers.

Mr. Dick Biagini appeared before the Commission requesting approval
of a Planned Unit Development Amendment to allow construction of a
13,770 square foot office /warehouse building at 2935 Country Drive. It
was noted that the office portion of the building is proposed at 52% of
the square footage area, and in no case will the office portion be less than
50 %. Biagini described the facade of the building pointing out that it will
have a brick exterior and he has eliminated the overhead doors from the
south side of the building from what was proposed earlier for Simon
Delivers. He also indicated that he will have one or two exterior trash
enclosures and these will be constructed from brick.
Wojcik asked about parking requirements. The Planner noted that if the
building is 50% office /50% warehouse, 43 parking stalls would be
required. Parking requirements increase as the percentage of office space
increases. The site plan shows 67 parking spaces. The Planner
recommended that if parking along the Condit Street side of the property
is not required, that it be eliminated and the landscaping buffer be widened
to provide for more effective screening to the west.
Biagini agreed with the Planner's recommendation with regard to parking.
It was noted that a landscaped berm would be installed to provide for
screening to the west.
Biagini reported that he will be constructing the building for spec, and at
this point is unsure as to the tenants and the office /warehouse mix.
However, a minimum of 50% office space will be maintained and
hopefully that percentage will increase.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Little Canada Planning Commission
FROM: Stephen Grittman
DATE: May 7, 2001
RE: Little Canada - Biagini Office PUD Amendment
FILE NO: 758.09 - 01.01
RAB, Inc. has applied for an amendment to the Planned Unit Development permit
previously approved on the site at 2930 Country Drive. This building received a PUD
approval one year ago, based on an office- warehouse design for 12,400 square feet of
floor space. At that time, approximately 52% of the floor area was to be devoted to office
use.
Last fall, an amendment was granted to the CUP that changed the floor plan and would
have permitted occupancy by Simon Delivers, a grocery delivery service. The amended
plan showed a 13,700 square foot building, although a larger percentage of the building
would have been occupied by storage or material handling. The Simon Delivers project
is no longer an option, but the applicant wishes to revert to an office warehouse design
utilizing the Simon Delivers building and site plan. Staff has indicated that no less than
50% of the building may be utilized for office space.
The proposed plan is very similar to the Simon Delivers concept, with the exception that
overhead doors have been removed from the south building exposure. Instead, the south
exposure is composed of five office door accesses and windows. The north side of the
building includes six overhead doors and one office entrance closest to Country Drive.
Both the County Drive and Condit Street facades include windows and office doors along
the front and rear building exposures. Other materials include "Nova" Brick, metal fascia
and soffits, and asphalt shingles on the sloped roof.
The site plan shows 67 parking spaces. If the building is finished at 50% office, 50%
warehouse, the parking requirement would be estimated to be 43 parking stalls. As
designed, the building would meet parking requirements even if devoted solely to office
Page 36
uses.
Staff had recommended in the original PUD that parking along Condit Street be reduced
if not needed, and the landscaping buffer be widened to provide more effective screening
from the single family areas to the west. The site would appear to be able to
accommodate this recommendation if the office uses comprise up to 60% of the floor
space. The current plan does not indicate a location for a trash enclosure. Indoor trash
facilities are preferable, but outdoor enclosures have been permitted in the past. If an
outdoor enclosure is proposed, it should be constructed of materials similar to those of the
principal building.
Finally, recommendations regarding landscape screening (Spruce trees along the north
boundary, are still valid to screen both the apartment building from the parking lot, and the
view of the overhead doors from Country Drive. With these comments, planning staff
recommends approval of the PUD Amendment.

RE: BIAGINI OFFICE PUD AMENDMENT
CITY OF LITTLE CANADA
651 644 9446 P.02/02
Dear Planning Commission Members:
As requested we have reviewed the plan for the proposed building at 2935 Country
Drive. This building will be the second of two buildings constructed on the County Side
Terrace Office Park site. The grading, drainage, and utility plan for this tot was
previously reviewed and approved with the rest of the Office Park site, and no additional
grading or utility information is shown on the plan. The Ramsey Washington Watershed
also reviewed the entire site and all storm water rate and sediment control regulations
were met when the original entire site was graded.
The first floor elevation of the proposed building is shown at 912.00. The original
grading plan indicated a first floor elevation of a building on this lot should be 910.00.
The building pad elevation will need to be lowered or additional fill brought to the site.
Any additional grading necessary will need to be reviewed. There are two 30 -foot
driveways shown that access the site from County Drive. This is above the maximum
24 -foot width allowed by the City zoning code without prior approval. If it is anticipated
that large trucks will need to access the site the 30 -foot wide driveways may be
necessary.
The parking lot configuration has changed from the layout shown on the original grading
plan. The paved area has been reduced with an increase in green area both in front of
the building and in the northwest comer of the site. Minor modifications to storm sewer
inlet locations may need to be made to the storm sewer that was originally installed, but
the existing piping system will be of adequate size to serve the site. The plan shows a
total of 67 parking stalls with two handicapped spaces In the lot south of the proposed
building. For a 67 -space parking supply, state regulations require 3 handicapped
spaces, at least one of which must be van accessible, Therefore, an additional
handicapped space is required.
If you have any questions regarding these comments, please call.
Sincerely,
Howard R. Green Company

Jack Bougie, Condit Street, asked about access to Condit Street. Biagini
pointed out that the existing landscape berm will be extended along
Condit. While there may be access between parking lots to the C.I. Title
building, there will not be driveway access to Condit. Biagini also pointed
out that if the parking along the western edge of the site is eliminated, the
landscape berm can be widened from 10 feet to 30 feet.
Bougie asked if there will be wood chips on the berm. Biagini reported
that a weed retardant fabric will be installed on the berm, both the existing
portion and the new portion, and wood chips then installed. Biagini
pointed out that the existing berm is too steep to mow, therefore, wood
chips were installed. Biagini pointed out that the berm was installed to
provide screening from headlights in the parking lot for the residential
homes on the west side of Condit.
Biagini discussed the type of tenants he will be trying to attract for the
building and indicated that he will work to increase the office use to over
50% of the building. If the building is leased at 100% office, it will mirror
the building to the south. The proposed building is single -story given the
size of the land and parking and green area requirements.
Duray pointed out the City Engineer's comments regarding elevations and
grading plan as well as driveway width. Biagini indicated that he will
comply with the requirements of the City Engineer, and indicated that 30-
foot driveways will be necessary to accommodate truck traffic. Biagini
also reported that he will comply with handicapped parking requirements.
Roycraft recommended approval of the PUD Amendment as requested by
Mr. Biagini for property at 2935 Country Drive subject to compliance with
the recommendations of the City Planner and the City Engineer, subject to
the City Engineer's approval of fill and grading plans, and indicating that
30 foot driveway widths appear to be reasonable.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Little Canada Planning Commission
FROM: Stephen Grittman
DATE: May 7, 2001
RE: Little Canada - Abraham Garage Setback Variance
FILE NO: 758.09 - 01.08
Background and Analysis
Tsgeroman Abraham has applied for a variance to permit a five foot side setback for an
attached garage on a parcel at 2535 Stark Street. Currently, the parcel has a house
without a garage on the property. The existing home is setback more than fifty feet from
the street.
The existing home is forty feet wide, and is situated on the 75 foot wide parcel with a ten
foot setback to the south, and a 24.5 foot setback to the north. The applicant is requesting
a variance to permit the construction of a 19.5 foot wide by 24 foot deep garage on the
north side, leaving a five foot setback, five feet short of the required 10 foot side yard. The
zoning ordinance includes a provision that permits a five foot side yard setback on
property in which the house was constructed prior to 1980 when the setback was changed
from five feet to ten feet. This house was constructed a few years after that change.
Variances are evaluated based on whether there is a physical hardship which interferes
with reasonable use of the property. Typically, it is important to find that the proposed use
is a reasonable one for the property in question. Second, it is then necessary to find that
it is not practical or possible to locate the proposed use in a manner that is conforming with
the zoning ordinance.
The proposed use is an attached two car garage. No other garage exists on the site. The
zoning ordinance states that room must be left on single family lots for a two car garage
when a home is built. However, when this home was constructed in the early 1980s,
limited space was provided to meet this standard. The applicant is requesting approval
Page 45
to build a minimum width garage at 19.5 feet (20 feet is the common minimum dimension,
and many two car garages are 22 to 24 feet in width).
A detached garage would not practical on this parcel without major modifications to the
existing home. The garage could not be located toward the front since it could not meet
both the 30 foot setback and the six foot building separation requirement. Moreover, the
City requires a Conditional Use Permit to locate garages in front of principal buildings, a
less favored arrangement. A detached garage would also not fit to the rear due to conflicts
with the building separation requirement and the 10 foot rear setback.
Summary and Recommendation
Because either of the alternatives would involve a detached garage and the need for other
setback variances, planning staff believes that the attached proposal with the five foot side
yard is justified as both more reasonable, and a preferred arrangement over the detached
alternatives. In addition, the five foot side yard setback is a condition that exists on other
single family lots, and would look more in character with the neighborhood. As such, we
recommend approval of the five foot side yard setback variance to allow the construction
of an attached garage as proposed on the attached site plan.

PLANNING REPORT
northwest ssocipted consult8
TO: Little Canada Mayor and City Council
FROM: Stephen Grittman
DATE: 19 June 19861
RE: Thoe Garage Variance
FILE NO: 758.09 - 86.19
ts, Inc.
The applicant is requesting a variance to permit the construction of a garage within
the required side yard setback. The purpose of this report is to clarify Zoning
Ordinance requirements for such construction and the qualifications for a variance.
Side yard setbacks in the R -1 district are 10 feet for both principal and accessory
buildings. As an attached garage, the proposed structure is considered a part of
the principal building. The applicant proposes to construct to within three feet of
the property line. Until the Ordinance was amended in 1979, garages were permitted
to within five feet of the property line. By City policy, any house constructed
without a garage prior to that date has been permitted to build to the five foot line.
However, any construction since that date has been required to conform to the 10 foot
requirement. The applicant's house was constructed in 1981, therefore, the 10 foot
requirement applies in this case. As such, a setback variance is required to locate
the structure as proposed.
The criteria for a variance is as follows:
A variance from the terms of this Ordinance shall not be granted unless it can be
demonstrated that:
a. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land,
structure, or building involved:
(1) Special conditions may include exceptional topographic or water conditions
or, in the case of an existing lot or parcel of record, narrowness,
shallowness, insufficient area or shape of the property.

Page Two
(2) Special conditions and circumstances may not be primarily economic
in nature.
b. Literal interpretation of the provisions of this Ordinance would deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district
under the terms of this Ordinance.
c. The special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant.
d. Granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special
privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to other lands, structures, or
buildings in the same district.
e. A genuine hardship exists in complying with the literal terms of this
Ordinance.
It is our understanding that this application does not qualify under any of these
items.
We would recommend that the variance request not be approved and that the 10 foot
setback requirement be enforced.

Thoe Mr. Fahey pointed out that the Planning Commission voted to deny
Variance the variance request as there was no hardship present. The Planner
(Cont.) also recommended denial of the variance.
Mr. Thoe asked what constituted a hardship.
Fahey pointed out that a hardship cannot be financial, nor due to
the placement of the house on the property if there would have been
adequate room for a garage if the house had been placed differently.
Mrs. Scalze pointed out that the garage could be constructed behind
the house without the necessity of a variance.
Mr. Thoe stated that he wanted an attached garage and pointed out
that there is a ridge in his backyard that would make placement of
the garage difficult.
Mrs. Thoe reported that there are two other houses in the area that
have garages that are not 10 feet from the property line.
Fahey stated that at one time the Code allowed garages 5 feet from
the property line, but it was changed in 1979. Fahey stated that
to his knowledge, no variances for garage setbacks were granted in
this area.
Bob Kirek, 2541 Stark Street, stated that the Huonder garage is not
10 feet from the property line, but this was something that the
contracter for the house did.
Scalze reported that she has discussed situations like this with
the current Building Inspector, and it was his feeling that two
wrongs do not make a right.
Ms. Nardini introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:

Mr. Fahey pointed out the recommendation of the Planning
Commission with regard to the Barrett property division request.
Mr. Barrett is requesting approval of the division of his property
located at LaBore Road and County Road D into two lots. Barrett
stated that he was willing to comply with the recommendations
of the Planner and Planning Commission for removal of the existing
concrete garage.
Mrs. Scalze asked if there was adequate room between the existing
house and lot line to construct a garage without a variance.
The Planner pointed out that there is adequate room for a garage
as there are 45 feet between the lot line and existing house.
Scalze pointed out that the Engineer will have to review the
proposal and make a recommendation on drainage and utility easements.
Mrs. Scalze introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:

PLANNING COMMISSION
MAX 10, 2001
Jack Bougie, Condit Street, asked about access to Condit Street. Biagini
pointed out that the existing landscape berm will be extended along
Condit. While there may be access between parking lots to the C.I. Title
building, there will not be driveway access to Condit. Biagini also pointed
out that if the parking along the western edge of the site is eliminated, the
landscape berm can be widened from 10 feet to 30 feet.
Bougie asked if there will be wood chips on the berm. Biagini reported
that a weed retardant fabric will be installed on the berm, both the existing
portion and the new portion, and wood chips then installed. Biagini
pointed out that the existing berm is too steep to mow, therefore, wood
chips were installed. Biagini pointed out that the berm was installed to
provide screening from headlights in the parking lot for the residential
homes on the west side of Condit.
Biagini discussed the type of tenants he will be trying to attract for the
building and indicated that he will work to increase the office use to over
50% of the building. If the building is leased at 100% office, it will mirror
the building to the south. The proposed building is single -story given the
size of the and and parking and green area requirements.
Duray pointed out the City Engineer's comments regarding elevations and
grading plan as well as driveway width. Biagini indicated that he will
comply with the requirements of the City Engineer, and indicated that 30-
foot driveways will be necessary to accommodate truck traffic. Biagini
also reported that he will comply with handicapped parking requirements.
Roycraft recommended approval of the PUD Amendment as requested by
Mr. Biagini for property at 2935 Country Drive subject to compliance with
the recommendations of the City Planner and the City Engineer, subject to
the City Engineer's approval of fill and grading plans, and indicating that
30 foot driveway widths appear to be reasonable.
Motion seconded by Carson.
Motion carried 6 — 0.
VARIANCE - Tsgeroman Abraham, 2535 Stark Street, appeared before the Commission
2535 STARK requesting approval of a Variance from the 10 -foot setback requirement
STREET — for side yard setback so that she can construct a garage 5 feet from her
ABRAHAM side yard property line. Abraham pointed out that due to the placement of
the house on the lot there is no way that a 10 -foot side yard setback could
be met. Abraham indicated that she currently has no garage and would
like to construct a 2 -car garage on her property. The proposed width of
Page 54
MINUTES
PLANNING COMMISSION
MAY 10, 2001
the garage is 19 feet 6 inches, which is the minimum width for a two -car
garage.
Keis pointed out that in order to justify the granting of a variance, a
hardship must be present. Keis noted that the original owner placed the
house on the property in such a way as to preclude the construction of a
garage without a variance. Either the house should have been placed
differently or another style of house constructed so that a variance would
not be necessary.
Duray asked if the garage could be made smaller so that a variance would
not be necessary. Abraham replied that to meet the 10 -foot setback
requirement, the width would be limited to a 1 -1 -car garage.
Keis suggested that a two -car garage could be constructed if the garage
stalls ran front to back rather than side -by -side. Abraham felt that this
would be undesirable from an appearance standpoint.
Jerome Kostelecky, 2541 Stark Street, indicated that he opposed the
variance. Kostelecky stated that a garage that close to the property line
would destroy the view from their south window and would have an
adverse effect on the resale value of their home. Mrs. Kostelecky felt that
the spacing between the home would not be proportionate to what exists in
the neighborhood.
Keis pointed out that if the garage were placed 10 feet from the property
line rather than 5 feet, a variance would not be necessary and a building
permit would be issued. Keis questioned the impact on the view with a
garage 10 feet from the line versus 5 feet.
Carson questioned the impact to the neighbors if Mrs. Abraham
constructed a garage with the stalls front to back pointing out that the
garage would have a much longer presence along the shared property line.
Carson felt a 14 -foot by 40 -foot garage would not be aesthetically pleasing
for the neighborhood.
Kostelecky stated that they would rather a smaller garage than a deeper
garage.
Mrs. Abraham's daughter commented that she can understand the concern
about the view, but pointed out that getting vehicles, bikes, and lawn
equipment would also improve the view. The daughter indicated that the
hardship is the fact that there are no other options for construction of a
two -car garage on the property.
Page 55
MINUTES
PLANNING COMMISSION
MAY 10, 2001
Mr. Kostetecky pointed out that there was a similar setback variance
request made a number of years ago and it was denied. The Planner
replied that that was correct. The previous request was for a garage with
a 3 -foot setback from the property line.
Terry Smith, 2536 Stark Street, stated that he did not oppose a garage
being constructed at 2535 Stark Street as long as the garage meets the
City's setback requirements. Smith agreed with the comment made earlier
that if the house had been located properly to begin with, a garage meeting
setback requirements could have been constructed.
Abraham noted that a variance can be granted when there are special
conditions and circumstances present. Keis pointed out that when
someone purchases a house, it is their responsibility to check things out
very carefully.
Wojcik noted that there are houses on Stark Street that were built prior to
1981 that have five -foot setbacks. It was noted that until the Code was
changed in 1979, garages could be constructed up to five feet from the
property line. Wojcik suggested that while it might require a Variance to
allow the five -foot setback, he suggested that it might be fair in this case
given the other homes in the area with five -foot setbacks.
Roycraft suggested that in considering whether or not there is a hardship,
the Commission should consider both the past and the present relative to
Code requirements. It was noted that only the Abraham house and one
other on the street do not have garages. Therefore, given there are only
two houses that might be impacted by the change in setback requirements,
it would seem reasonable to grant the variance.
Wojcik asked the impact of granting this variance on other properties in
the City. The City Planner replied that the impact decreases if there are
conditions that can be tied to this property that would preclude other
properties or limit the number of properties impacted. However, once a
variance is granted, if other properties meet the same conditions, then it
would be reasonable to approve the same variance for these properties.
The Planner suggested that one unique factor is that there are a number of
varying setbacks in this particular neighborhood. Therefore, a five -foot
setback would not be out of character for the neighborhood.
Mrs. Kostelecki pointed out that if the variance is approved, the overhang
for the garage would encroach into the five -foot setback. The City
Planner stated that overhangs can encroach into a setback up to two feet.
He suggested that a condition could be placed on an approval limiting the
encroachment from the overhang. The Planner suggested that a hip roof
Page 56
MINUTES
PLANNING COMMISSION
MAY 10, 2001
for that portion of the garage facing the neighbor's property might be a
good solution.
There was discussion about increased run -off from the roof. The Planner
noted that the property owner is required to provide for drainage, and
drainage cannot have an impact their neighbor's property.
Keis asked about the existing slab on the Abraham property. Mrs.
Abraham replied that the existing slab would be removed and replaced
with a new one for the garage.
Duray stated that he did not feel the criteria for a hardship was met and
was concerned about the precedent that would be set. Duray suggested
that a one -car garage be constructed.
The City Planner pointed out that one criteria for a hardship is whether the
property can be put to a reasonable use. The Planner indicated that the
issue the Commission is struggling with is whether a two -car garage is a
reasonable use or whether a one -car garage is a reasonable use. The
Planner indicated that the City has a lot of latitude in defining what a
reasonable use is for the community.
Carson felt that the entire neighborhood would be more valuable if the
homes had two car garages.
Roycraft recommended approval of the Variance from the Zoning Code
requirement of 10 foot minimum side yard setback allowing a new garage
with a 5 foot side yard setback at 2535 Stark Street as requested by
Tsgeroman Abraham subject to the overhang for the roof being minimized
and a hip roof being installed on the side of the garage facing the
neighbors, and based on the fact that there is a mix of setbacks in this
neighborhood which results in a 5 foot setback not being out of character
in this neighborhood, that the garage to be constructed is 19 feet, 6 inches
wide which is the smallest dimension possible for a standard two car
garage, based on the fact that prior to the Code being changed in 1979 5
foot setbacks were allowed.
Motion seconded by Wojcik.
Motion carried 4 to 2. Duray and Keis voted against.
ADJOURN Carson recommended that the meeting be adjourned.
Motion seconded by Barraclough.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator
DATE: May 18, 2001
RE: Reconvene Debt Levy Reduction Committee
The members of the Debt Levy Reduction Committee have been contacted. All but one
is willing to serve on a reconvened committee. (Mike Finegan is unable to participate
given some existing obligations.)
Given the time commitment that would be involved in adding one new committee
member and bringing that member up to speed on the history and process that got us to
this point, it would be my recommendation that we proceed with the existing committee
(less one member).

The Food N Fuel store located at 2652 Rice Street is being purchased by Twin Cities
Avanit Stores, .LLC. As a result of this sale, the new owner is requesting the transfer of
Tobacco License and Gas Dispensing License. An Off -Sale 3.2 Malt Liquor License is
also being requested (Food N Fuel does not currently hold a liquor license.)
It is anticipated that the sale will occur on or after June 8, 2001. The appropriate
application forms have been filed for the above licenses and license fees paid. 1 have
requested a revised Certificate of Liquor Liability Insurance to reflect the applicable
license period as well as property address. Sheriff's Department background checks are
pending.
It would be my recommendation that the licenses be approved as requested contingent
upon submission of the appropriate insurance certificate and satisfactory background
checks.

DATE: April 30, 2001
RE: Certification of Unpaid Utility Bill
The Venetian Inn has an outstanding water bill in the amount of $12,600.31. Last year, when
staff discovered the problem we back - billed them for the water used, without penalty and at the
rates in effect at the time of usage. Due to the time frame of this issue, a large bill resulted.
Therefore, I recommend that this bill be certified to taxes along with the $25 certification fee.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council
FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator
DATE: May 18, 2001
RE: City Maintenance of Private Streets
Attached is a letter from the Board of Directors of the Pitrina Park Terrace Homeowners Association that
requests the City to take over maintenance responsibilities for the five private cul -de -sacs within the
development. Staff has reviewed this request (see memo from Lee Elfering attached) and has come to the
following conclusions:
C Private streets were proposed by the developer to give them greater flexibility in
designing a layout that allowed an appropriately dense development while making use of
existing facilities (water main and drainage system along Allen Avenue).
Private streets for the cul -de -sacs addressed staff's concerns about maintenance. Had
they been proposed as public streets, it is likely an alternative layout would have been
required as cul -de -sacs prove more difficult for snow removal. This is especially true in
Pitrina due to the limited snow storage areas.
C. Private streets for this type of development are not uncommon in Little Canada or other
communities. It is understood that the association absorbs on -going maintenance costs.
C Mr. Gordie Howe informed me that all purchasers of units within the Pitrina
Development were made aware that the cul -de -sacs were private streets and would be
maintained by the Association. (He is willing to attend Wednesday's meeting to
reconfirm this fact if necessary.)
The units fronting on Allen Avenue are included in the same Association and therefore
share in the maintenance costs of the cul -de -sacs even though they abut a public street.
C. Acceptance of these private streets by the City would create a number of non- conforming
land uses issues in that front yard setbacks are 25 feet instead of the required 30 feet.
A number of private streets exist elsewhere in the City. (Cobblestone, Round Lake,
Canabury, and Nature Way) If we make changes to the Pitrina situation, fairness and
consistency would indicate similar action would be necessary in these other situations.
Page 98
Staff appreciates the points raised by the Association. In fact, the issues they raise are some of the
reasons the City required Park View Court to be a public street. However, we can not recommend the
City take over maintenance based upon the reasons stated above.
We have attached minutes from the review of this development as well as others that involved private
streets to aid in your consideration of this request. The City Council should provide direction if they feel
another approach is warranted.

Dear Mayor, Administrator and Council Members:
The undersigned constitute the Board of Directors for the Pitrina Park Terrace Homeowners
Association. The Association is made up of 96 townhouse dwelling units located just north
of Pioneer Park. 29 of the townhouse units face the city's Allen Avenue. The remaining 67
units are located on the five cul -de -sacs listed above. The cul -de -sac streets are part of
Pitrina Park Terrace and are not city streets.
We have not made a detailed study, but it appears that the folks living on the cul -de -sacs
pay no less in local taxes than the folks living in equivalent dwellings facing Allen Avenue.
Allen Avenue, of course, is swept, snow - plowed and otherwise maintained by the City.
The cul -de -sacs are maintained by the Homeowners Association -- paid for by all
members of the Association.
It would seem most equitable and most efficient to have coordinated services for the entire
subdivision. The five small cul -de -sacs all adjoin Alien Avenue, and it would not involve a
significant increase in the expenditure of time or materials for the city to serve its citizens who
reside on these cul -de -sacs. Accordingly, the Board proposes, subject to its right to do so,
to transfer to the City of Little Canada title to the aforementioned five cul -de -sacs. In the
alternative, the existing Easement to City provided in the Pitrina Park Terrace Declaration
(Article VIII, Section 5) could be construed to permit the City to maintain the cul -de -sacs
without actually transferring title. The section reads:
The title of the Association and the Owners of Lots in and to the
Common Elements is hereby made subject to a non - exclusive
easement in favor of the City of Little Canada for the purpose of
ingress and egress for police, fire, rescue and other emergency
calls, animal control, health and prospective inspection and to
provide the Owners other public services deemed necessary
by the City of Little Canada and for the purposes set forth herein.

Whether by transferring title to the City, or by the City simply agreeing to provide street
maintenance services to Association-owned cul-de-sacs, considerations of fairness,
efficiency and consistency call for the City to take over the maintenance responsibilities
for these five small streets.
Thank you for considering this request. Questions may be addressed to Board Member,
Carl Helgeson (490-5844) or Board Chairperson, John Miller (484-1178).

MEMO
To: Greg Schroeder
From: Lee Elfering
Subject: Pitrina Park Terrace
Date: 5/17/01
It is our understanding that the homeowners association for the Pitrina Park Terrace development
is requesting the cul -de -sac streets be transferred from private to public status so the City would
be responsible for ownership and maintenance. Below are some issues that should be
considered before making a decision on the acceptance of the cul -de -sac streets within the Pitrina
Park Terrace development.
Street
The current City typical street width is 28 feet wide face of curb to face of curb with a section
consisting of a minimum of six inches (6 ") of aggregate base and three inches (3 ") of bituminous.
The City's standard cul -de -sac radius is 45 -feet.
The cul -de -sacs within the Pitrina Park development are currently 28 feet wide back to back with
surmountable concrete curb and gutter. City records indicate that the existing street section for
the cul -de -sacs is eight inches (8 ") of aggregate base, one and a half inches (1'A ") of bituminous
base, and one and a half inches (1'A ") of bituminous wear on top of between one foot and two feet
of corrected subbase. The cul -de -sacs have a paved radius of 45 -feet. Although the street width
is slightly less than the City's typical width, the section appears to be adequate.
Right -Of -Way
Right -of -way widths throughout the City vary from 100 -feet to only 40 -feet. However the latest
development (Parkview Court) had a 50 -foot wide street right -of -way which is the current city
standard. A 55 -foot radius right -of -way exists around the cul -de -sac in the Parkview Court
development. There is typically a 10 -foot drainage and utility easement outside the street right -of-
way.
There is no existing street right -of -way for any of the cul -de -sac streets in the Pitrina Park
development. However, the streets lie within drainage and utility easements that are 50 -feet wide
with a 50 -foot radii on the cul -de -sacs. If these easements were dedicated to the City as street
right -of -way, the street would match the width of the right -of -way in Parkview Court, but the end
cul -de -sacs would have a smaller right -of -way and there would be no drainage and utility
easement outside the street right -of -way.
Set Back
The City's set back requirement for the front of a building in area zoned R2 is 30 -feet from the
right -of -way.
As mentioned before there is no designated street right -of -way for the cul -de -sacs within the
development, however if the existing drainage and utility easement was used a street right -of -way
C: \Little Canada \Pitrina Park Memo.doc
Page 102
it appears that no building would meet the 30 -foot setback and some building corners are within
12 -feet.
Snow Removal
The City is responsible for snow removal on the public street within the City. It appears that there
would be minimal space for snow storage in the winter, especially at the end of each cul -de -sac.
A snow storage area was designated in the Parkview Court development but none currently exist
within the Patrina Park Terrance development.
Other
There are at least 4 other developments within the City of Little Canada that currently have private
streets. If the cul -de -sac streets within the Pitrina Park Terrace development are transferred to
public streets, there may be other requests made in the future. These can either be looked at on
an individual basis or a policy could be set at this time.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss any of these comments further please feel free
to call.

MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING
PLANNING COMMISSION
LITTLE CANADA, MINNESOTA
APRIL 10, 1997
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a regular meeting of the Planning
Commission of the City of Little Canada, Minnesota was held on the 10th
day of April, 1997 in the Council Chambers of the City Center located at
515 Little Canada Road in said City.
Chairman Gene DeLonais called the meeting to order at 7:30, P.M. and the
Following members of the Commission were present at roll call.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Mr. Gene DeLonais
Mr. Scott Barraclough
Mr. John Keis
Mr. Rick Montour
MEMBERS EXCUSED:
Mr. Dennis Carson
Mr. Dan Knudsen
Mr. Fred Schletty
ALSO PRESENT: Mr. Scott Richards, City Planner
Mrs. Kathy Glanzer, Admin. Asst.
MINUTES There being no corrections to the minutes of the March 13, 1997 meeting
those minutes stood approved as read.
CONCEPT Mr. Frank Frattalone reported that he owns the property north of Pioneer
REVIEW - Park and would like to develop this area with twinhomes. Mr. Gordie
PITRINA PARK Howe would be the builder. Frattalone reported that the property is
currently zoned Industrial -Park. The site has been for sale for a long time,
and it is apparent it will not sell as an industrial site. Frattalone felt the
property would be a good location for a townhome project. Gordie Howe
was asked to build the townhomes because of his good reputation and the
quality of his projects. Frattalone pointed out that his uncle owns a lot
abutting Centerville Road just north of Allen Avenue. His uncle has
indicated that he does not want to dedicate additional right -of -way for
Allen Avenue given that his property is only 111 feet in width. The
additional right -of -way would make his property unusable. Frattalone
indicated that the additional right -of -way could come from his property
located on the south of Allen Avenue. However, this would cause for ajog

in the road Because of this jog it is likely there will be a couple less
townhomes on the site.
Frattalone reported that Mrs. Schroeder owns the two parcels north of his
land and south of the Slumberland property. Frattalone reported that he is
negotiating with her to purchase this property. He has her permission to
do soil tests and a wetland evaluation on the property. Frattalone
estimated that about one -third to one -half of the property is wetland;
therefore, it may be possible to develop another eight buildings or 16 units
on this land. Frattalone felt that the Schroeder parcel was a natural fit with
the development he would like to do on his property.
The City Planner asked if Frattalone had done a wetland evaluation of his
parcel.
Frattalone replied that he did some testing. There are some soil corrections
that will need to be done and he will take care of that.
DeLonais asked about screening from Slumberland.
Frattalone reported that there are portions of the Slumberland berm which
he believes have been cut down and there are no plantings on. If
Slumberland does not intend to fix the berm, Frattalone reported that he
would purchase some plantings to add to the berm. Frattalone felt the
addition of some pine trees to the berm would make a great buffer.
Keis pointed out that screening is required between Residential and
Industrial property. Since the proposal is to rezone to R -2, Keis asked
who would be responsible for the screening.
The Planner indicated that Slumberland abuts Industrial property. Since
Frattalone is proposing the rezoning, should the property be rezoned,
Frattalone would be responsible for the screening.
Frattalone pointed out that he would offer to pay for the addition of
plantings on the existing berm. Frattalone also reported that the wetland
area on the Schroeder property is wooded and will provide a great buffer
for the area.
The Planner asked Frattalone what his plans are if he is unable to purchase
the Schroeder property.
Frattalone pointed out that there is sewer and water already in Allen
Avenue. However, additional right -of -way is needed. Frattalone reported
that there are three options. Should he purchase the Schroeder property,
Page 105
MINUTES
PLANNING COMMISSION
APRIL 10, 1997
the additional right -of -way would come from the north side of Allen
Avenue. If he is unable to purchase the Schroeder property, Mrs.
Schroeder may be willing to dedicate the additional right -of -way. The
final option would be that the City would condemn the additional right -of-
way needed from the Schroeder property.
Montour pointed out there is a drainage ditch in the Allen Avenue right -
of -way. Frattalone replied that this is a County ditch, and it is proposed
the ditch will be piped.
The Planner indicated it appears the distance between some of the
townhome buildings is too close at the corners. Gordie Howe indicated
that the diagram shows the pad size of the townhomes. The townhomes
are proposed to be 21 to 22 feet in height. Therefore, an 11 -foot
separation is required between the buildings.
Keis asked if Allen Avenue would be a private road.
Frattalone replied that they would propose Allen Avenue as a public street
and the short cul -de -sacs as private. It was reported the estimated market
values of the twinhomes would be in the $109,000 to $140,000 range.
The City Planner reported that this is a concept review, and the Planning
Commission is being asked whether or not it will support the land use
change. The Planner pointed out the issue of the industrial property to the
north. That situation is more favorable if Frattalone can purchase the two
lots to the north which run up to the Slumberland property and provide
additional screening between the two developments.
DeLonais suggested that if twinhomes are developed south of Allen
Avenue, he did not feel industrial development should occur immediately
north of Allen.
The Planner pointed out that in updating the Comp Plan, the City's
position was that the area would remain Industrial Park. There is not a lot
of industrial land left in the City to develop. Rezoning the property to R -2
would be a policy issue on the best use of the property.
Keis pointed out that the property is on the fringe of the industrial area.
DeLonais suggested that twinhomes would generate more tax revenue
than an industrial development on this parcel. Barraclough agreed.
DeLonais again indicated that he felt industrial development should not
abut Allen Avenue, pointing out there would be the issue of screening.

PLANNING COMMISSION
APRIL 10, 1997
Montour indicated that had there been a quorum this evening without his
presence, he would have abstained from voting on this concept proposal
due to the fact that he lives on DeSoto Avenue immediately east of the
Frattalone property. Montour felt traffic from the proposed development
is likely to go toward Centerville Road, therefore, felt increased traffic
should not be an issue for DeSoto Avenue. The concern which Montour
expressed had to do with trees on the property. Montour pointed out that
in 1995 many trees were removed from the Frattalone property without the
benefit of an inventory. In December of 1995, the City sent Frattalone a
letter on this issue which indicated that since an inventory was not done,
when the property was developed, it would be required that 30 caliber
inches per acre be replaced on the site. Montour felt any development
which occurs on the Frattalone property be held to compliance with the
Tree Preservation Ordinance as well as the requirements outlined in the
December, 1995 letter to Frattalone.
The City Planner indicated that cul -de -sacs are a Public Works' nightmare
and suggested it may be possible to loop a street through the property
without the need for the small cul -de -sacs as proposed.
It was pointed out that the cul -de -sacs would be private, therefore, not the
responsibility of the City.
The Planner stated that he has seen where homeowners' associations have
evaporated and cities have been forced to take over maintenance
responsibilities for private roads.
Barraclough recommended approval of the Planned Unit Development
concept for the development of twinhomes on the Frattalone property
subject to Mr. Frattalone either purchasing the Schroeder property located
north of Allen Avenue and incorporating that property into his
development proposal, or Mrs. Schroeder agreeing to rezone her property
to R -2, subject to Allen Avenue lying between Centerville Road and
DeSoto Avenue meeting City standards, and subject to the development
meeting the requirements of the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance as
well as complying with the requirements listed in the City's letter to Mr.
Frattalone dated December 15, 1995 regarding the issue of removal of
trees without benefit of a tree inventory.
Motion seconded by Keis.

shed. However, if a shed is 75% screened and there is still a concern, the
Council can require architectural compatibility.
Pedersen pointed out that the more a shed blends in with the house the less
need there will be for screening.
Fahey suggested the addition of the word "reasonably" before
"coordinated" in Section 903.020.D.2.b.ii. Pedersen suggested addition of
the phrase "or air conditioning equipment" in the seventh line of Section
903.020.D.2.a. after the word "shed ".
Mr. Morelan introduced the following ordinance and moved its adoption:
ORDINANCE NO. 455 — ADOPTING AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING SECTIONS 902.010 AND 903.020.D. OF THE LITTLE
CANADA CITY CODE, KNOWN AS THE ZONING ORDINANCE,
BY ESTABLISHING PROVISIONS FOR THE REGULATION OF
ACCESSORY SHEDS WITH THE PROVISION THAT THE
LANDSCAPING BE OF SUFFICIENT SIZE TO SCREEN FROM
THE PUBLIC RIGHT -OF -WAY AND FROM THE SIDE YARD
The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Scalze.
Ayes (5) Morelan, Scalze, Fahey, Pedersen, LaValle.
Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted.
CONCEPT Frank Frattalone appeared before the Council to present a concept
REVIEW - proposal for the development of twinhomes on the property immediately
PATRINA north of Pioneer Park. Frattalone reported that there is sanitary sewer and
PARK water main in the right -of -way for Allen Avenue. However, that right -of-
way is only 30 feet wide and an additional 30 feet of right -of -way is
needed. Frattalone explained the lay -out he is proposing for Allen Avenue
pointing out the jog in the road around the Mike Frattalone property which
abuts Centerville Road. The Mike Frattalone property is narrow. If the
additional right -of -way for Allen Avenue were taken from this parcel, it
would become too narrow to develop.
Frattalone reported that he is still negotiationing with Mrs. Schroeder for
the purchase of her property lying north of Allen Avenue and south of the
Slumberland site. Frattalone felt he would be able to reach an agreement
with Mrs. Schroeder for this purchase. Should he purchase the property,
he would include it in the twinhome development. Buffering between the
Slumberland property and the twinhome development could occur
utilizing the existing Slumberland berm and adding plant materials to that

berm. Frattalone indicated that he would be willing to purchase the plant
materials and work with Slumberland to add these to the berm.
Fahey stated that he would like to see a concept drawing which includes
the Schroeder property. Fahey indicated that there may be areas of
wetland on the north piece which would decrease density. Fahey asked
the City Planner about the density proposed by Frattalone and whether a
PUD designation provides for more density than R -2 zoning.
Frattalone acknowledged there was wetland on the Schroeder piece and
pointed out that the wetland area can be used as part of the buffer.
Frattalone agreed there would be less density on the north parcel than on
the south due to the wetland issue. He further suggested that there may be
some mitigation proposed in order to manage the development of the site
in the best manner possible.
Morelan asked what properties were located to the west of this site.
Frattalone replied that there is a vacant commercial parcel owned by Mike
Frattalone, a commercial building owned by Joe Peters, and a triplex
located just north of the Peters building. Frattalone reported that he
approached Mike Frattalone about purchasing his lot, however, the asking
price is quite high.
Scalze asked if there were any wetland areas on the south parcel.
Frattalone replied that there were not. Frattalone reported that he will be
proposing some dry ponds on the south edge of the property toward
Pioneer Park.
The City Planner indicated that the density being proposed is
approximately 6 units per acre. R -2 zoning allows up to 8 units per acre.
Pedersen asked if there was an alternative design which would cluster
development more.
Frattalone reported that they are considering 3 -unit buildings on the north
parcel. Frattalone indicated that the twinhomes being proposed are very
high - quality.
Pedersen pointed out that Allen Avenue would be a straight street running
east and west with small cul -de -sacs projecting off Allen. Pedersen felt it
would be more creative if the development were more irregular - looking.
Frattalone stated that they would look at the lay -out and see if there is
something which can be done. However, it was pointed out that water and
Page 109
MINUTES
CITY COUNCIL

sewer are already in within the Allen Avenue right -of -way. Frattalone
reported that they did consider another plan which proposed cul -de -sacs
coming in from each end.
Fahey pointed out that the disadvantage to that plan is that development of
the north parcel would not be included. Fahey stated that he prefers that
the Schroeder parcel be incorporated into the development in order to
complete the whole picture. Leaving out the Schroeder parcel makes it
more difficult to develop on its own. Fahey pointed out the concern
expressed at the Planning Commission meeting about the small cul -de-
sacs and the likelihood of these being turned over to the City in the future
if the townhome association ceases to exist.
The City Planner indicated that his office had discussed the lay -out and the
possibility of Allen Avenue meandering throughout the property rather
than running straight east and west with cul -de -sacs projecting from Allen
Avenue. However, his office has not done any design work to develop
alternatives. The Planner indicated that should the cul -de -sacs be platted
as public streets, there would be some long -term concerns on the part of
the City.
Frattalone reported that they are proposing Allen Avenue as a public
street; however, the cul -de -sacs would be private.
Fahey suggested that a different street design would be necessary to
incorporate the Schroeder property. Fahey suggested that the City Planner
work with the developers to try to come up with a better street lay -out that
would incorporate the Schroeder property.
Scalze asked if sewer and water had to be under the street. The Planner
replied that it did not, but pointed out that sewer and water should not be
located under house pads. The Planner agreed there may be a more
creative lay -out for the streets especially if the Schroeder piece is included
in the development.
Frattalone presented a few alternatives which they had put together, but
pointed out that none are as attractive as the first one. Frattalone pointed
out that the existence of wetlands also puts a constraint on how the
development can be laid out. He acknowledged it may be possible to
move Allen Avenue further north and add some curve to it. Frattalone
pointed out that people like to live on cul -de -sacs. Frattalone also
indicated that he has never heard about private cul -de -sacs reverting back
to a city.
Page 110
MINUTES
CITY COUNCIL
APRIL 23, 1997
Fahey pointed out that the cul -de -sacs would have to be built to City
standard. Fahey felt that twinhome development on the parcels lying
between Slumberland and Pioneer Park was a good use of the property,
pointing out that there had been no interest expressed in developing the
property under the Industrial -Park zoning. Fahey stated that he wanted to
see buffering from the Slumberland site.
Scalze agreed that the proposal was a good one, but suggested there may
be a better way to lay out the streets. Scalze questioned whether Allen
Avenue should extend through to DeSoto.
The City Planner felt Allen Avenue should go through since it gives traffic
more options. Traffic will learn the most efficient way to go, which will
likely be toward Centerville Road.
Scalze felt Allen Avenue should break in the middle.
Pedersen disagreed and felt it would be confusing to traffic if Allen
Avenue did not go all the way through.
Morelan indicated that he was not in support of the rezoning at this point.
The property is currently zoned Industrial -Park and is one of the last
industrial sites leis in the City to develop. Industrial development brings
jobs into the community. Morelan stated that he was not convinced that a
rezoning to R -2 would be the highest and best use of the site. Morelan
asked if the Council was willing to wait for the highest and best use, or if
they just wanted to get something developed on the property.
Pedersen felt the proposal was better than just getting something
developed on the property. Pedersen felt the proposal was a quality
project, not second best.
Fahey pointed out that the property has been zoned I -P, and there have
been no proposals for the site. Fahey felt the twinhomes proposed would
be very attractive, with an ideal location adjacent to Pioneer Park.
Morelan agreed the project would be attractive, but felt industrial
development would be the highest and best use.
Pedersen felt that depended on the type of industrial development.
Pedersen indicated that if the industrial development was not of the
highest quality, he would prefer to see residential development of the site.
LaValle pointed out that the City has a developer interested in developing
the site, and that developer is working with a high - quality builder. The
Page 111
MINUTES
CITY COUNCIL

developer has agreed to incorporate the property to the north in his
development.
Fahey pointed out that the City knows there are soil problems in the area
which will make it difficult to get a high - quality industrial development on
the site. The property has sat undeveloped for years, and Fahey expressed
concern that the only proposals which might come forth may involve pole
buildings. Fahey felt this was a good location for a twinhome
development.
Scalze agreed that the twinhome development fit the area better than
industrial. Scalze pointed out that the City could be looking at an
industrial development that would generate a lot of truck traffic. Scalze
suggested the twinhome development may generate more tax revenue than
an industrial development would.
Morelan stated that the issue is more than just one of tax capacity, and
pointed out that homeowners consume more City services than industrial
property does. Morelan felt the Council was assuming that the property
could not be developed as an industrial site, and pointed out that the
Council does not know the cost of soil corrections. 1VIorelan felt that the
Council needed to be sure that a twinhome development is what it wants
to do.
Fahey pointed out the lack of developers approaching the City regarding
this site, and felt the concept being proposed this evening was a good one.
Mr. LaValle introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:

Scalze opened the public hearing to consider the application for
Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning from Industrial -Park
to R -2, and Preliminary Plat for Petrina Park Terrace made by Frank
Frattalone for property located north of Pioneer Park and south of
Slumberland. Scalze reported that the Planning Commission has
recommended approval of the applications contingent upon compliance
with the recommendations of the City Planner. Scalze also noted that
there are only four Council Members present this evening. A rezoning
requires four affirmative votes of the Council, and the applicant has
indicated that he would prefer to wait until the full Council is present for
action to be taken on his application. Based on that, the Council will hold
the public hearing this evening, but table action on the matter until its June
10th meeting.
Frank Frattalone, 3205 Centerville Road, reported that the property has
been for sale for 17 years as Industrial -Park property, and has not been
sold. Frattalone reported that he contacted Gordie Howe, Masterpiece
Homes, to discuss the development of the property with twinhomes.
Frattalone reported that he has the property north of Allen Avenue under
purchase agreement, and is including it in the proposal. Frattalone
reported that there is sanitary sewer and water main in Allen Avenue.
However, only half of the required road right -of -way is dedicated.
Therefore, he has purchased the property north of Allen and will dedicate
the additional right -of -way for the street.
Frattalone reported that he has discussed the issue of buffering with
Slumberland. Slumberland has an existing berm along their south
property line. Frattalone reported that he will work with Slumberland and
plant trees on top of the berm to provide screening for the twinhomes
proposed in phase two.
Frattalone pointed out that phase one will occur south of Allen Avenue.
He noted that one twinhome building per cul -de -sac has been eliminated
from the proposal. Density is proposed at 5 units per acre, and Frattalone
pointed out that the Code allows for 8 units per acre. Drainage issues are
being worked out. No variances are being requested, and all required
setbacks will be met.
Frattalone pointed out that there is a jog in the western end of Allen
Avenue. It was necessary to dedicate the full easement from the property
on the south of Allen given that the Myers Frattalone property at the
northeast corner of Centerville Road and Allen Avenue is not included in
the plat.
Page 113
MINUTES
CITY COUNCIL
MAY 28, 1997
Frattalone pointed out that he is proposing islands at both ends of Allen
Avenue to dress up the entrance to the area.
The City Administrator reported that the Public Works Director has
reviewed the proposal and is recommending that visibility at the east and
west ends of Allen Avenue be addressed so the islands do not obstruct the
intersection. The Director is also proposing that the homeowners'
association be responsible for maintenance of the islands. The Director is
recommending a barrier curb be installed to address the potential for
damage from snowplows.
Frattalone reported that he is proposing Allen Avenue to be a dedicated
public street. The cul -de -sacs are being proposed as private streets owned
and maintained by the homeowners' association.
Frattalone described the ponding situation on the property and reported
that he is currently working with the Watershed on the north property.
There may be the possibility of shifting all the ponding to the western half
of the northern parcel rather than having some along the north property
line.
Scalze asked about the five units per acre. Frattalone reported that that is
the density for the southern portion of the development, the density on the
north portion will be less than that.
In response to Scalze's question about trees, Frattalone reported that there
may be a few trees left in the southeast corner of the property, but many of
the trees are just brush. The oak tree which exists in the DeSoto Street
easement will be retained.
Morelan asked if the wetland had been delineated. Frattalone replied that
it had, but indicated that there is a third test being done the results of
which will not be available until September.
Morelan asked why private cul -de -sac streets are being proposed.
Frattalone replied that that is common in the industry pointing out that
private streets can be narrower than a standard City street.
Morelan asked if there was a reason the City is requiring a 60 -foot right -
of -way for Allen Avenue versus the 50 feet required in single - family
home developments. The City Planner replied that the assumption is there
will be greater traffic volumes in a higher- density area. A wider road
right -of -way affords the City more options. The Planner pointed out that
the private cul -de -sacs should present no traffic problems which would
require a 60 -foot right -of -way.

Fahey opened the public hearing to consider the
application of Masterpiece Homes for Rezoning, Planned
Unit Development, and Final Plat for Cobblestone
Village. Fahey noted that both the Planning Commission
and City Planner have recommended approval.
Gordie Howe, Masterpiece Homes, presented a diagram of
the street lights he is planning for the development,
reporting that there would be seven street lights in
the project. Howe also proposed a monument sign on
each side of the street as you enter the project.
The City Planner replied that the Code allows
identification signs for a development. That type of
signage is limited to 24 square feet in size and 8 feet
in height. There is no restriction on the number of
signs, however.
Fahey suggested that the entrance signage be subject to
review and approval of the City Planner.
Howe asked the Council if he could be issued building
permits for two of the buildings prior to recording of
the final plat. Howe estimated that it takes 60 days
to get a final plat recorded, and he would like to get
a couple of models under construction.
The City Administrator suggested that if Mr. Howe
enters into a development agreement with the City to
ensure that the project is completed, he saw no problem
with issuing two building permits.
There was no one from the general public present
wishing to comment on this matter.
Upon motion by Scalze, seconded by Morelan, the public
hearing was closed.
sows
Morelan asked the advantages and disadvantages to the
City in having private streets.
Fahey pointed out that the City is not responsible for
plowing or maintenance of private streets. Fahey
Page 115

indicated that the City would require the street to be
built to City standards.
LaValle indicated that most streets which are part of
townhome projects are private.
Morelan stated that the City should have assurances
that the streets would be adequately maintained.
The City Planner reported that the City will get copies
of the townhome association covenants and by -laws.
These documents will address maintenance issues, access
for emergency vehicles, etc.
Fahey pointed out that private streets are less burden
on the City.
Morelan asked if the townhome association could close
access to the area with a gate.
Fahey pointed out that St. Jude's has a gate system at
the entrance to their property. Fahey pointed out that
emergency vehicles would have to have access either
through a key or bolt cutter.
Morelan asked how the City's snow plow would turn
around where Minnesota Avenue ends at the entrance to
the townhome development.
Public Works replied that the snow plow would probably
have to drive into the development and turn around.
The City Planner pointed out that this can be addressed
in the townhome association documents.
Morelan asked about access to utilities.
The City Planner reported that the plat includes
drainage and utility easements, and the City Engineer
will review these to make sure they are adequate.
Morelan stated that he had no problem approving the
development provided that these concerns are addressed.
It was pointed out that a development agreement will be
prepared and submitted to the Council for review and
approval.

have recommended approval.
Steve Bienke, Fine Line Design, planner for the
project, reported that the parcel consists of 4.77
acres on County Road D. On the site is a house which
is currently being used as an office building. 60% of
the site is power line easement. The proposal is to
create an office campus which will compliment the
residential neighborhood and provide a good transition
from the commercial to the west and the residential to
the east.
Bienke reported that eight buildings are proposed, and
each would be individually owned and would be occupied
by professional -type businesses. The project would be
managed as a townhome development. Eight detached
storage garages are also planned along the south
property line. These will be sold with the individual
office buildings and would be used for storage of
materials associated with the buildings.
Bienke reported that the project will have a
residential character, would be a traditionally - styled
building with hip roofs, stucco siding and stone base.
Two sizes are planned, one 3,600 square feet in size,
and the other 2,400 square feet. These buildings have
the potential to be subdivided.

FROM: David Licht --)11
DATE: 25 May 1983
RE: Schrier - North Suburban Development Proposal
FILE NO: 758.09 - 83.09
Mr. Schrier has submitted a revised site plan for his property north of
County Road C, south of Round Lake and east of Iona Lane. The plan
follows the step down density concept which was favorably reacted to
by the City Council on 11 May by a three to two vote.
The following is a summary of changes made in the revised plan as compared
to the plan submitted in April 1983:
1. The number of total suggested units is 170 as compared to 172. (It
is again felt that detailed site planning may slightly reduce this
total count.)
2. Single family lots have been reduced from 12 to 10. The area for
the units has, however, been slightly extended to the north to
provide a further buffer to the single family units on Iona Lane.
The creation of a holding pond in the single family area accounts
for the reduction in total number of units.
3. The townhouse units have been located 50 feet from the high water
mark indicated. The units have also been positioned to recognize
the natural drainage swail on the northeast portion of the
property.
Low4. A looped road system combining public streets and private drives
has been added. This responds to the emergency vehicle concern.
With regard to the latest proposal, we have the following comments:
1. The step down density concept is seen as a favorable alternative at
least as compared to concentrating all the density in apartment
units on the portion of land currently zoned R -3.

2. The looped circulation system is positive. Potential access to the
property to the east remains a concern, however.
3. The proposed cul -de -sac is beyond the limits suggested by the
Subdivision Ordinance. The negative aspects of this have, however,
been reduced through the looped circulation system which is
dependent upon private drives.
CONCLUSION:
The resolution of the acceptable development on the tract of land in question
would appear beneficial to all concerned. The development pattern which in
our opinion is the best alternative is one involving a step down density
and land use transition arrangement. While this does not meet the total objec-
tives of the developer or the neighborhood, it appears as a reasonable
compromise and is viewed as a positive situation from a City -wide perspective.

RE: Call for Workshop with Rmnsey/Washington Metro Watershed District to Review
Sculley Property
I have contacted Mr. Cliff Aichinger, Administrator of RWMWD regarding his availability to attend a
workshop to discuss drainage and wetland issues involving the Sculley (and adjoining) properties. The
recommended date for this workshop is Monday, June 2S'h. I would suggest a 7:00 p.m. starting time.
Mr. Aichinger will be prepared to discuss the Watershed's perspective on this matter relative to the
comments of impacted property owners. Ile will also bring along a series of aerial photos dating back to
the 1940's to aid in the review of this matter. Lastly, he will provide an overview of current wetland

RE: Maple Lane Trail /St. John's Parking Lot
As you may recall, the Maple Lane Trail and St. John's Parking Lot projects were included as
alternates in the 2001 Street Reconstruction and Utility Improvements. However, at the request of
the landowners adjacent to the St. John's Parking Lot we bid these two projects separately. In
addition to the required normal advertising, we also sent bid packages to six contractors who have
worked on similar projects for the adjacent landowners.
On May2, 2001 we received only two bids. The results were are follows:
Maple Lane Trail
T.A. Schifsky & Sons $5,757.30
(2001 Street Reconstruction & Utility Low Bidder)
1. Buck Blacktop, Inc.
2. Quality Asphalt, Inc.
3. Earth Wizards, Inc.
4. Daily & Sons Blacktopping, Inc.
5. Frattalone Paving, Inc.
6. Arcade Asphalt, Inc.

T.A Schifsky & Sons is the low bidder for the 2001 Street Reconstruction and Utility Improvements
project and their bids are lower than those received on May2, 2001.
Based on the above, I recommend that the bids received on May 2, 2001 be rejected and the work
be awarded to T.A. Schifsky & Sons as part of the 2001 Street Reconstruction and Utility
Improvement project.

RE: Change Order for Pavers at St. John's Parking Lot
Due to the exceptional contract price for the Little Canada Road amenity project, the
Council requested that staff investigate the replacement of the colored exposed aggregate
concrete at St. John's Parking Lot with concrete pavers.
Based on the bid prices for each contract, it appears that the City would save about
$4,700 by installing concrete pavers instead of the exposed aggregate concrete for the
parking lot project. Therefore, we have initiated a change order with each contractor.
Unfortunately, we have not been able to finalize the actual savings to the City as of this
date. We will provide this information to the Council at Wednesday's meeting.
