Site and surrounding areas This property is a comer lot located on a 1.01 acre parcel on the northwest comer of Country and Ryan Drive. The property is zoned "PUD" Planned Unit Development with an underlying Industrial use. The purpose of the PUD zoning district is to provide for the integration and coordination of land parcels as well as the combinations of varying types of residential, commercial and industrial uses. The principal uses within the principal building are is office and the accessory building is used for warehouse /storage. It is surrounded by the following land uses: North Northem - Burlington Railroad Property South Ryan Drive / Industrial Property zoned 1 -2 East Industrial Property zoned PUD West Industrial Property zoned PUD See attached site plan dated October 25, 1999 Page 14 Setbacks Front yard Side yards Rear yard 40 feet from the property line Not less than fifteen (15) feet on any one side, nor less than forty (40) feet on the side yard abutting a street. 20 feet from rear boundary line Open & Outdoor Exterior Storage (Accessory Use) The applicant is requesting a new accessory use of open and outdoor storage of equipment (roofing) and materials (roofing and electrical supplies) between the principal building and the accessory building as indicated on the site plan. The zoning ordinance allows for exterior storage of equipment and materials to be stored in the side and rear yard by conditional use permit (CUP). The open and outdoor storage may encroach into the required side and rear yard setback, but in no case shall equipment be located closer than ten (10) feet to a rear yard or side yard lot line.

The proposed use would be for open and outdoor storage as a principal or accessory use. The outdoor storage would be used by the company located at the property. Meisen Roofing would store their roofing material and equipment in this location. A site plan is included showing the location of the storage area . The fencing would extend from front of building to front of building front and be constructed of a six foot wooden fence. This would serve as a screening for storage area. An application for permit to complete the storage building at the east end of the lot will also be submitted. Due to the size of the building and the size of this lot we need a minimun of twenty -four parking spaces. There is enough room for a possible forty narking spaces or more. Regarding the required paved surface for the parking area , I would need to use a Class 5 material due to the instability of the lot base which I could verify with soil tests. We have a low ground table and I am checking into ways to build up lot to a point where it will hold blacktop. Another deterent is that in two years I will be hooking up to city sewer and the gas, water and sewer lines all run long ways through this property. The asphalt would have to dug up at this time causing a hardship. Please contact me with any concerns or suggestions.

TO: Little Canada Mayor and City Council FROM: Jay Baago DATE: 22 April 1985 RE: Peterson Maintenance Expansion FILE N0: 758.09 - 85.10 BACKGROUND Peterson.Maintenance Corporation (PMC) has applied for permits to construct a second structure on their site in Ryan Industrial Park. The specific site is Lot 3, Bleck 1 along Ryan Drive. The lot is wide (550 feet) and shallow (131 feet at its deepest). As the entire park is under a PUD, setbacks for new buildings are negotiable, provided that the developer can demonstrate that the setback changes allow more desirable conditions of traffic flow., loading, parking, or other performance standards. An original site plan for the_.proposed was reviewed (Planner's Report dated 27 March 1985) but found unacceptable as the plan lacked essential information upon which to base a review. ANALYSIS The proposed building would be used as a storage facility and would thus be classified as an accessory use. It is open on one side for access and loading. Setback from the Burlington Northern Railroad is shown as 5 feet (see attached Exhibit B). As mentioned previously, such setback encroachments are acceptable, provided other performance standards are met which create a more functional site. Below are the applicable site requirements and relative Ordinance regulations: Easements. The proposed structure is located on an NSP easement and, . as such, would require written approval from the utility that construction on that location is acceptable. 4820 minnetonka blvd. minnea ec Page 21 420 554 C- :e!. ! 72/925 -9420 Little Canada Mayor and City Council 22 April 1985 Page Two Drainage. Industrial developments must submit drainage plans to the City Engineer for review and approval. Parking. Parking requirements are calculated as follows: Office space - 3 spaces plus 1 space for each 200 square feet of floor area, and warehousing - 1 space per 1,000 square feet of warehouse, plus 1 space per each company truck stored outside. Given the existing office building and proposed storage facility site dimensions as shown on the site plan, a minimum of 24 spaces are required. Thirty -four spaces are shown on the plan. The dimensions of the parking stalls are also in conformance with City regulations as none are less than the required 82'x20' in dimension. Parking stalls located along Ryan Drive are beyond the minimum 15 feet away from the paved street surface. Regarding the required paved surfacing of parking areas, the applicant wishes to use a crushed aggregate material due to the instability of the lot base. • The Council may wish to have the City Engineer verify this soil condition. Curb barriers are shown to be at or beyond the 5 foot minimum from the edge of the parking area to adjacent property lines. Since the building would be of metal construction, 5 foot curb barriers must also be provided around the entire perimeter of the structure. Driveway- Access. The existing easternmost driveway access from Ryan Drive is beyond the 24 foot width maximum requirement. The applicant, after consultation with the City Engineer, should shorten the access to an acceptable width or justify to the Council why it cannot be done. Loading Space. Loading spaces must be 70 feet by 10 feet for the first and 30 feet by 10 feet for additional berths. However, at its maximum distance, there is only 60 feet between the proposed storage facility and fence along Ryan .Drive. Again, justification as to why this is not up to City regulations must be provided to the Council. Three loading spaces would be provided in the structure. Landscaping. Some landscaping is shown on the site plan. However, no dimensions of the planting materials were provided. Below are minimum City requirements for landscaping materials (Section 903.020.G.4). Planting materials (at the time of planting): Shade Trees Half Trees (Flowering Crab, Russian Olive, Hawthorn, etc.) Evergreen Trees Tall Shrubs and Hedge Material (Evergreen or Deciduous) Low Shrubs (Evergreen or Deciduous) Potted /Bare Root* 1 3/4" dia. 6 -7 feet 3 -4 feet 18 -14" Balled and Buriaoed 2 dia. 12" dia. 3 -4 feet *Mode is dependent upon time of planting season, availability, and site conditions (includes both natural (soils, climate, groundwater, etc.) and man -made (irrigation, grading, etc.) influences). Page 22 Little Canada Mayor and City Council 22 April 1985 Page Three It is also important to note that landscaping must be provided on the five foot perimeter between property lines and parking lots and driveways. RECOMMENDATION With a few exceptions, the proposed structure and modifications conform to City regulations. Thus, we recommend PMC be allowed to expand based on the analysis above. This recommendation is contingent upon the following conditions: 1. That the applicant put forth to the Council justifiable reasons for not meeting City requirements regarding driveway access and loading berth space as analyzed above. Consultation with the City Engineer should be involved if alternative approaches are discussed or in justifying the present plan. 2. A drainage plan must be submitted to the. City Engineer for review and approval.. 3. That a detailed landscape plan be submitted and a surety bond issued to the City in an amount no less than 11/2 times the cost of the completed landscaping. 4. That concrete curb barriers be provided around the perimeter of the storage building and around all parking lots and driveways. 5. That the.City receive written approval from NSP that construction on their easement is acceptable.

TO: Little Canada Mayor and City Council FROM: Stephen Grittman DATE: 27 March 1985 RE: Peterson Maintenance Expansion FILE NO: 758.09 - 85.10 BACKGROUND Peterson Maintenance Corporation (PMC) has applied for permits to construct a second structure on their site in Ryan Industrial Park. The specific site is Lot 3, Block 1 along Ryan Drive. The lot is wide (550 faet) and snaillow (131 feet at its deepest). As the entire park is under a PUD, setbacks for new buildings are negotiable, provided that the developer can demonstrate that the setback changes allow more desirable conditions of traffic flow, loading, parking, or other performance standards. ANALYSIS The proposed building is open on one side for access and loading. Setback from the Burlington Northern Railroad is not dimensioned on the plan. It appears to be approximately 5 feet. As mentioned previously, such setback encroachments are acceptable, provided other performance standards are met which create a more functional site. The proposal appears to have merit in terms of making the best use of the lot. However, no parking, loading, or drive aisle space is delineated. The intent of the PUD is to insure that encroachments into the right -of -way, inadequate loading and parking, and other problems can be rectified. Site plans must show all the required information for this to occur. Required site improvements are listed in several areas of the Zoning Ordinance. Some of the requirements are listed below: e Accessory buildings may not be located in an easement (903.020.D.3.). No easements are shown on the plan. Page 26 4820 minneEonka bivd. , c_ut_c, ste. 47 1 ; J J V _.925 -942( Little Canada Mayor and City Council 27 March 1985 Page Two • Industrial developments must submit drainage plans to the City Engineer for review and approval (903.020.E.). e Applications for building and occupancy permits must be accompanied by a site plan illustrating off - street parking and loading spaces (903.050.0.). • All parking areas must be surfaced to control dust and drainage (903.050.0.8.k.). o All off- street parking must have a perimeter curb around the entire parking area, no closer than 5 feet to property lines. All open areas not used for parking and loading must be landscaped according to approved plans (903.050.D.8.o). o All metal buildings must have a curb barrier around the entire building, no closer than 5 feet to the building (903.050.0.8.p.). e No off-street parking may occur within 15 feet of the paved street surface (903.050.F.3.). e Required parking may not be used for sales or storage (903.050.G.). • Parking requirements are calculated as follows: Office space - 3 spaces plus 1 space for each 200 square feet of floor area, and warehousing - 1 space per 1,000 square feet of warehouse, plus 1 space per each company truck stored outside (903.050.H.27). e Loading space is calculated at 1 space per 10,000 square feet (903.050. G.1.). a Loading spaces must be 70 feet by 10 feet for the first and 30 feet by 10 feet for additional berths. RECOMMENDATION In general, the building proposal should be satisfactory if other site develop- ment occurs properly. However, as the site plan information was not included in the request, it is not possible to evaluate the total development's accepta- bility. It is recommended therefore, that the developer be asked to submit a completed site plan per ordinance requirements for further City review. cc: Joe Chlebeck Thomas Sweeney Lowell Nagovsky Don Carley Patrick Peterson Page 27 ‘.• :41 ° - a , \\! c7:—= zit • 1 t• da© mz2iscc)r * • •i• • c.9 •;; vAONAIS •t:n017- rirrir • •11 I "I • • . ,-Fga.gcrre DeveliDpmst-ker. /. 1 • • • • • • • • „cu.„.... •;1'• 4411-- •• 4.tatike - 4474 4.4-: •44•44?.44 • 74 ; [CV •••:' r41 ii 1 1 I I . ;:t:...:-. .........474 \ • ,•0 4,;■["4..,, •' - . -I ' • i i ''I : 4.44,.. , ' Ii • , -, 14 •0 WSTP4,4," .a" i ' ...".■4h• rii V . 7 \ 41•41n1-2--421.2, 1:'44-"?'"---:•:, 7., r' ••• ••••:0 \I 47 . .,t4:4 - , • 1r F,.. :r• N...:: ,-.-.....-•.

EUE Secretary- Treasurer Re: Proposed Fly Ash Landfill 3151 Country Drive This is in response to your request as to the feasibility of utilizing fly ash as an engineered landfill on the above site. You indicated it would be utilized over swamp deposits and to a thickness of about 3 ft. During the past five years we have done considerable laboratory and field investigation for the utilization of fly ash as engineered fill under both parking areas and buildings. Since the fly ash is subject to extremely high temperatures it is rather inert. The chemical analysis of the fly ash typically is as fbllows: Silicon dioxide Metallic oxide Magnesium oxide Sulfur trioxide Loss and ignition 44.5% 33.5 1.7 2.0 1.5 The major portion of the metallic oxides are aluminum oxide and ferric oxide. Under normal compactive effort the fly ash compacts to a density of 72 to 75 lb per cu ft. Once the fly ash has been compacted in place chemical silicification occurs giving a penetration resistance or standard N Value of around 15 blows per ft. When adequately compacted the fly ash has a high internal friction and good compression index. On the basis of our laboratory and field tests we concluded that fly ash is a good fill mater- ial suitable for use in this area. Chemically the particles are extremely inert and would not cause any contamination of the surrounding ground water. Very truly yours, TWIN CITY TESTING AND ENGINEERING LABORATORY, INC. --- C.

Hanson Email: cityhall @ci.little- canada.mn.us MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Greg Schroeder, Public Works Director DATE: November 10, 1999 RE: Conditional Use Permit for 3151 Country Drive Mr. Carl Costanzo's letter indicated that a deterrent to paving their parking lot is that they will be hooking up to city sewer. A search of City files resulted in the following information: • Sewer for this property would require the construction of a new sewer line along Ryan Drive. Therefore, their sewer line would run from their building straight out to Ryan Drive. This property would be assessed a portion of the cost to build the sewer line along Ryan Drive. • There is a sewer force main that was installed in 1995 along Country Drive from Frattalone's north under Ryan Drive and the Rail Road tracks. The new Ryan Drive line would tie into this force main, however, there is an outstanding assessable portion of the cost to construct this sewer that would have to be paid first. Elizabeth Mursko File:Grcp/3151 Ryan conditional use permit Page 39 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 13, 1999 CLY- 3151 COUNTRY DR. - COSTANZO Montour noted the recommendation that no storage occur in the required side yard. However, vehicles can be parked up to the building as long as there is no encroachment in the side yard. Vollmer reported that the building is set back about 15 feet from the east property line and he understands that no storage can occur in the 10 -foot side yard. Montour asked if Vollmer would be in compliance by the deadlines outlined in the Zoning Administrator's report. Vollmer indicated that he would comply with those deadlines. Kraemer noted that the storage area must be surfaced with Class V material. The Zoning Administrator reported that Vollmer has already done this. Knudsen asked if Vollmer had any concerns with the recommendations outlined in the Zoning Administrator's report. Vollmer indicated he did not and would comply. Knudsen recommended approval of the Conditional Use permit for open and outdoor storage of materials and equipment as an accessory use at 132 Ryan Drive subject to compliance with the recommendations of the Zoning Administrator. Motion seconded by Kraemer. Motion carried 6 — 0. Carl Costanzo appeared before the Commission requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for open and outdoor storage materials and equipment as an accessory use at 3151 Country Drive. The Zoning Administrator described the property location and indicated that the applicant stores roofing equipment and materials as well as electrical supplies on the site. The property is long and narrow and the existing buildings are placed back on the site leaving no back yard area. Therefore, the storage occurs on each side of the building. The 40 -foot setbacks are required from both Ryan Drive and Country Drive. There is a principle building and an accessory building, which is used for warehouse and storage, on the property. The accessory building is an open storage building. As a result, there are screening issues with this building. Page 40 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 18, 1999 Costanza reported that the building is actually a storage shed. Costanza indicated that he plans to enclose this shed and make it a more permanent type building. The shed is 80 feet by 25 feet in size. Costanzo indicated that he purchased the property in 1992 and had planned to operate a body shop from it. However, after he purchased the property he found out it was zoned PUD> Costanzo indicated that he will have the building paid for in 2002 and requested that he be given an extension on the paving requirements until that time. Costanzo reported that two years ago he gave Frank Frattalone an easement across his property for sewer. This easement gave him the right to connect to sewer in the future. Costanza indicated that once his building is paid for, he would be connecting to utilities. Therefore, he would like to delay paving until he connects. If he paves now, the paving would have to be dug up at the time he makes the utility connections. The zoning Administrator indicated that three properties along Ryan Drive are not connected to sewer. Sewer has been installed on a portion of Ryan Drive from Country Drive. A sewer connection for the Costanzo property would come from Ryan Drive. The Zoning Administrator pointed out that other property owners in Ryan Industrial Park have been required to pave, and none have received extensions beyond June 30, 2000. The Zoning Administrator pointed out that Mr. Costanzo is proposing to blacktop the entire front of his property. She indicated another option that would place required parking to the side of the lot and minimize the amount ofblacktopping that would be required. Costanzo felt the entire property should be blacktopped. He also pointed out that utilities run across the middle of his lot and indicated that this is where he would have to connect to sewer as well as water for the shed he will be converting. Knudsen asked if the paving issue constituted a hardship that would warrant an extension to the year 2002. Duray suggested that perhaps a December 31, 2000 deadline for blacktopping would be more appropriate. Knudsen pointed out that Mr. Costanzo is agreeable to blacktopping. The only issue is the timing. Knudsen asked why Page 41 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 18, 1999 the utilities would have to be dug up causing blacictop to be disturbed. Costanzo indicated that when he finishes improving the shed, he will be running water and sewer to both the buildings. Therefore, he would like to wait with the blacktop until he runs the utilities. Knudsen suggested that action on this CUP be tabled until there is more information on the utility issue. Keis agreed, but pointed out that the City has only granted extensions until June 30, 2000. Keis also indicated that a financial hardship is not justification for a variance. The Zoning Administrator indicated that utility connections are not required for an accessory building. Costanzo indicated that if he enclosed the building, he will put in the utilities and make this building a rental property. Kraemer pointed out that this is Costanzo's choice, and suggested that it may not be justification for delaying the blacktopping. There was some confusion about whether or not sanitary sewer is in Ryan Drive, or if sewer needed to be extended along Ryan Drive. It was pointed out that Mr. Frattaione did improve a portion of Ryan Drive with sanitary sewer. Costanzo indicated that he will use the existing lines that run through the middle of his property. Keis indicated that this matter should be tabled until next month to get additional information on the utility issue. Barraclough indicated that one solution would be for Costanzo to blacktop 24 required parking spots on the side of the property. This would minimize the need to dig up blacktop at the time Costanzo runs utilities into his property. The Zoning Administrator pointed out the letter from the Public Works Director on the utility issue, and indicated that she will verify the matter further with the Director. Knudsen noted that Costanzo has don a lot of work on the property and he appreciated the effort. Page 42 MJNYJ 1ES PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMVLBER 18, 1999 RESIDENTIAL MONUMENT SIGNS CLARIFICATION RIFICATION OF SETBACK ENCROACH - MENTS TERMS OF Cr FICE ADJOURN Kraemer recommended tabling action on the Conditional Use Permit for 3101 Spruce Street until the December meeting pending additional information on the utility issue. Motion was seconded by Montour. Motion carried 5 — 1. Duray voted against. Keis indicated that at the request of City staff, the matter of residential monument signs is tabled until the December meeting. The Zoning Administrator reviewed the Zoning Ordinance with regard to allowable encroachments into required setbacks. She noted the references to terraces, steps, uncovered porches, stoops, etc. pointing out that they refer to "above" ground level structures, and areas that are paved at the defined ground level or as defined in the Zoning Ordinance as "lowest level of the sky" are not subject to this section of the Zoning Ordinance. Given the confusion that this ordinance section has caused, the Zoning Administrator recommended that it be amended to make it more easily understandable. The Commission agreed. Montour recommended that a public hearing be called to consider amending the Zoning Ordinance clarifying allowable setback encroachments as recommended by City stall. Motion seconded by Kraemer. Motion carried 6 — 0. The Deputy Clerk reported that the terms of office for John Keis and Scott Barraciough expire December 31, 1999. Both Keis and Barraciough indicated a desire to be reappointed for another three - year term. Montour recommended that the meeting be adjourned.

Attachment "A" is a copy of the Planning Commission's meeting minutes dated November 18, 1999. A search of the City files resulted in the following information: Water: 1. There is no City water main along Ryan Drive adjacent to this property. A City water main ends at Ryan Lane to the west and a different City main runs along Country Drive to the east (see Attachment `B "). 2. Water service to 3151 Country Drive is provided via a 1 '/z" service from the Country Drive water main (see Attachment `B "). Sanitary Sewer: 1. There is no City sanitary sewer along Ryan Drive adjacent to this property. A City sanitary sewer line ends at Ryan Lane to the west and there is a City sanitary force main that runs along Country Drive to the east (see Attachment "C "). 2. During the Country Drive sanitary sewer design phase, a feasibility report was prepared. This report investigated different alternatives to provide Frattalone's building at 3137 Country Drive sewer service as well as looked at possible future development along Ryan Drive. Option 2A was selected and constructed as the best alternative for the Frattalone building (see Attachment "D "). Also, a possible alignment for a future sanitary line along Ryan Drive is shown on that attachment. 3. Prior to construction of Option 2A ( Frattalone sewer extension), City staff met with the three affected property owners along Ryan Drive who are unserved by sanitary Page 44 Planning Commission December 2, 1999 Page 2 sewer to determine if they are interested in obtaining this service. At this meeting, they all stated they had no interest in sanitary sewer (see Attachment "E "). 4. Permanent utility easements were required to construct the Country Drive force main (Frattalone sewer extension). Attachment "F" shows the location of the 10 -foot wide easement obtained from 3151 Country Drive. Attachment "G" is a copy of the executed easement at 3151 Country Drive. I will be present at the December Planning Commission meeting to provide further clarification on any of the above. GS:kp Enclosures A. Minutes of November 18, 1999 Planning Commission meeting 3.

Chair John Keis called the meeting to order az 7:30 p.m. and the following members of the Planning Commission were present at roll call: PLANNING NG COMMISSION: Mr. Scott Barraciough Mr. Tom Duray Mr. John Keis Mr. Dan Knudsen Ms. Faith Kraemer Mr. Rick Montour ABSENT: Mr. Dennis Carson ALSO PRESENT: Ms. Elizabeth Mursko, Zoning Administrator Ms. Kathy Glanzer, Deputy Clerk VIINU TES There being no correcthons to the minutes of the October 14, 1999 meeting, those minutes stood approved as submitted. CUP Mr. Kevin Vollmer appeared before the Commission relative to his 182 RYAN DR — application for a Conditional Use Permit for open and outdoor VOLLMER storage of materials and equipment as an accessory use at 182 Ryan Lane. The Zoning Administrator explained the CUP application and reported that Mr. Vollmer has removed a storage trailer from the lot. There is an existing berm facing Spruce Street, and the Administrator reported that Mr. Vollmer has agreed to remove the berm and to comply with all recommendations. Ri -4. ,s.- 4 Page 46 MIND 1ES PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 13, 1999 CUP - 3151 COUNTRY DR. - COSTANZO Montour noted the recommendation that no storage occur in the required side yard. However, vehicles can be pariced up to the building as long as there is no encroachment in the side yard. Vollmer reported that the building is set back about 15 feet from the east property line and he understands that no storage can occur in the 10 -foot side yard. Montour asked if Vollmer would be in compliance by the deadlines outlined in the Zoning Administrator's report. Vollmer indicated that he would comply with those deadlines. Kraemer noted that the storage area must be surfaced with Class V material. The Zoning Administrator reported that Vollmer has already done this. Knudsen asked if Vollmer had any concerns with the recommendations outlined in the Zoning Administrator's report. Vollmer indicated he did not and wouid comply. Knudsen recommended approval of the Conditional Use permit for open and outdoor storage of materials and equipment as an accessory use at 182 Ryan Drive subject to compliance with the recommendations of the Zoning Administrator. Motion seconded by Kraemer. Motion carried 6 — 0. Cari Costanza appeared before the Commission requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for open and outdoor storage materials and equipment as an accessory use at 3151 Country Drive. The Zoning Administrator described the property location and indicated that the applicant stores roofing equipment and materials as well as eiectrical supplies on the site. The property is long and narrow and the existing buildings are placed back on the site leaving no back yard area. Therefore, the storage occurs on each side of the building. The 40 -foot setbacks are required from both Ryan Drive and Country Drive. There is a principle building and an accessory building, which is used for warehouse and storage, on. the property. The accessory building is an open storage building. As a result, there are screening issues with this building. Page 47 MIyIJTES PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 18, 1999 Costanzo reported that the building is actually a storage shed. Costanzo indicated that he plans to enclose this shed and make it a more permanent type building. The shed is 80 feet by 25 feet in size. Costanzo indicated that he purchased the property in 1992 and had planned to operate a body shop from it. However, after he purchased the property he found out it was zoned PUD> Costanzo indicated that he will have the building paid for in 2002 and requested that he be given an extension on the paving requirements until that time. Costanza reported that two years ago he gave Frank Frattalone an easement across his property for sewer. This easement gave him the right to connect to sewer in the future. Costanza indicated that once his building is paid for, he would be connecting to utilities. Therefore, he would like to delay paving until he connects. If he paves now, the paving would have to be dug up at the time he makes the utility connections. The zoning Administrator indicated that three properties along Ryan Drive are not connected to sewer. Sewer has been installed on a portion of Ryan Drive from Country Drive. A sewer connection for the Costanza property would come from Ryan Drive. The Zoning Administrator pointed out that other property owners in Ryan Industrial Park have been required to pave, and none have received extensions beyond June 30, 2000. The Zoning Administrator pointed out that Mr. Costanzo is proposing to blacktop the entire front of his property. She indicated another option that wouid place required parking to the side of the lot and minimize the amount of blacictopping that would be required. Costanzo felt the entire property should be blacktopped. He also pointed out that utilities run across the middle of his lot and indicated that this is where he would have to connect to sewer as well as water for the shed he will be converting. Knudsen asked if the paving issue constituted a hardship that would warrant an extension to the year 2002. Duray suggested that perhaps a December 31, 2000 deadline for blacktopping would be more appropriate. Knudsen pointed out that Mr. Costanza is agreeable to blacktopping.. The only issue is the timing. Knudsen asked why Page 48 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 18, 1999 the utilities would have to be dug up causing blacktop to be disturbed. Costanza indicated that when he finishes improving the shed, he will be running water and sewer to both the buildings. Therefore, he would like to wait with the blacktop until he runs the utilities. Knudsen suggested that action on this CUP be tabled until there is more information on the utility issue. Keis agreed, but pointed out that the City has only ,ranted extensions until June 30, 2000. Keis also indicated that a financial hardship is not justification for a variance. The Zoning Administrator indicated that utility connections are not required for an accessory building. Costanzo indicated that if he enclosed the building, he will put in the utilities and make this building a rental property. Kraemer pointed out that this is Costanzo's choice, and suggested that it may not be justification for delaying the blacktopping. There was some confusion about whether or not sanitary sewer is in Ryan Drive, or if sewer needed to be extended along Ryan Drive. It was pointed out that Mr. Frattalone did improve a portion of Ryan Drive with sanitary sewer. Costanzo indicated that he will use the existing lines that run through the middle of his property. Keis indicated that this matter should be tabled until next month to get additional information on the utility issue. Barraciough indicated that one solution would be for Costanza to blacktop 24 required parking spots on the side of the property. This would minimize the need to dig up blacktop at the time Costanzo runs utilities into his property. The Zoning Administrator pointed out the letter from the Public Works Director on the utility issue, and indicated that she will verify the matter further with the Director. Knudsen noted that Costanzo has don a lot of work on the property and he appreciated the effort. Page 49 MINUTES PLAlsiNING CONI ThSI0N NOVEMBER 13, 1999 RESIDENTIAL MONUMENT SIGNS CLARIFICATION OF SETBACK ENCROACH - MENTS TERMS OF OnICE ADJOURN Kraemer recommended tabling action on the Conditional Use Permit for 3101 Spruce Street until the December meeting pending additional information on the utility issue. Motion was seconded by Montour. Motion carried 5 — 1. Duray voted against. Keis indicated that at the request of City staff, the matter of residential monument signs is tabled until the December meeting. The Zoning Administrator reviewed the Zoning Ordinance with regard to allowable encroachments into required setbacks. She noted the references to terraces, steps, uncovered porches, stoops, etc. pointing out that they refer to "above" ground level structures, and areas that are paved at the defined ground level or as defined in the Zoning Ordinance as "lowest level of the sky" are not subject to this section of the Zoning Ordinance. Given the confusion that this ordinance section has caused, the Zoning Administrator recommended that it be amended to make it more easily understandable. The Commission agreed. Montour recommended that a public hearing be called to consider amending the Zoning Ordinance clarifying allowable setback encroachments as recommended by City stab. Motion seconded by Kraemer. Motion carried 6 — 0. The Deputy Clerk reported that the terms of office for John Keis and Scott Barraciough expire December 31, 1999. Both Keis and Barraciough indicated a desire to be reappointed for another three- year term. Montour recommended that the meeting be adjourned.

Hanson, City Administrator DATE: March 3, 1995 RE: Frattalone Sewer Extension (Improvement #95 -1) MAYOR Michael I. Fahey COUNCIL 3everly Sralze Jim LaVaile Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen ADMIIVIS 1 RA7VR Joel R. Hanson Attached is a copy of the feasibility report for the above - referenced project. Mr, Frattalone is interested in proceeding in order that he can obtain sewer service for his new building constructed to serve the recycling operation. He also had asked about the possibility of extending the sewer to the west along Ryan Drive. This would provide service to future lots he may develop as well as to three properties presently unserved by sanitary sewer on the north side of Ryan Drive. On Thursday, March 2, 1995, staff met with the three affected property owners to discuss this possibility with them and to determine their interest. At this meeting, they unequivocally stated they had no interest in sanitary sewer and did not want to be assessed for any improvement. (They may provide us with letters documenting their respective positions.) Based on the results of our meeting with the three property owners on the north side of Ryan Drive and on the fact that future development of the Frattalone property is still undetermined, staff would recommend that we proceed with Option #2A to provide service to the new Frattalone building. No extension of this line will be made along Ryan Drive to the east at this time. The issue to resolve is the question of assessments to benefitted property. As you will note on page 7 of the feasibility report, the cost of this project is estimated at $40,528. Staff would recommend that the three property owners on the north side of Ryan Drive not be assessed at this time. This would necessitate the City carrying $7,746 on its books until such time as those properties do connect to the sewer line. At that time, they would be subject to this cost (adjusted by the construction price index from 1995 until date connected) which would be added to the total price of any improvement undertaken to complete service to their property. In regard to Mr. Frattalone's property, staff would propose that he be assessed for all benefits received to his property Page 54 4.74.4.%4MC44.71 E Mayor & City Council March 3, 1995 Page 2 he be assessed for all benefits received to his property totalling $32,782 based on Engineer's estimates. While one could argue that he has not received the full benefit of this line given future development possibilities for his property, I feel it is appropriate that he be assessed the full amount given he indicated the need for this improvement and he has indicated potential future benefit. If the Council agrees with this recommendation, a resolution ordering the improvement and the preparation of plans and specifications would be necessary subject to Mr. Frattalone agreeing to waive his right to appeal special assessments as indicated in the Engineer's estimates.

Chair John Keis called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. and the following members of the Planning Commission were present at roll call: PLANNING COMMISSION: Mr. Scott Barraclough Mr. Dennis Carson Mr. Tom Duray Mr. John Keis Mr. Dan Knudsen Ms. Faith Kraemer Mr. Rick Montour ALSO PRESENT: Ms. Elizabeth Mursko, Zoning Administrator Mr. Steve Grittman, City Planner Ms. Kathy Glanzer, Deputy Clerk There being no corrections to the minutes of the November 18, 1999 meeting, those minutes stood approved as submitted. Mr. Carl Costanzo appeared before the Commission requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for open and outdoor storage of materials and equipment as an accessory use at 3151 Country Drive. It was noted that this matter was tabled from the last Commission meeting pending further information on sanitary sewer and water main. Mr. Costanzo had requested an extension to the requirement to blacktop required parking given that when he connects to sanitary sewer, he would have to dig up the blacktop. The Public Works Director noted the location of existing utilities, pointed out that there is no water main or sanitary sewer in this portion of Ryan Drive. Water is provided to the Costanzo property from Country Drive via a 1 -1/2 inch water main which runs through Page 59 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION DECEMBER 9, 1999 the middle of his property. This line also serves the property at 221 -225 Ryan Drive. The Director indicated that there is a three -inch sanitary sewer force main along Country Drive which currently serves the Frattalone property. The Director pointed out that at the time this sewer project was under discussion, the property owners at 3151 Country Drive, 221 -225 Ryan Drive, and 209 Ryan Drive attended a neighborhood meeting at which they indicated they were not interested in participating in this sewer project. The Director noted from the feasibility study for the Frattalone sewer project, that Option 2A was decided on as the preferable option. That option provides for the future extension of sanitary sewer down Ryan Drive to serve 3151 Country Drive, 221 -225 Ryan Drive, and 209 Ryan Drive. The Director further noted that when the Frattalone sewer project was installed, the City obtained an easement for sewer along the east ten feet of 3151 Country Drive. A copy of that easement is in the agenda, and it was noted that the easement was signed by the property owner, Pat Peterson. Costanzo noted that there is also a gas main which runs through the middle of his property. The Director indicated that gas is not a utility provided by the City, therefore, the City has no control over that line. Costanzo again mentioned the water main running through his property. The Director noted that this water line is the responsibility of the property owner even though it serves the adjacent building. It was also noted that there might be easements granted to the adjacent property owner at 221 -225 Ryan Drive for access to the water main which runs through 3151 Country Drive. Gas line to 221 -225 Ryan Drive also runs through the Costanzo property, and again, there may be an easement between the property owners for this purpose. Costanzo indicated that when he is ready to connect to sanitary sewer, he would have to do so from Country Drive. This would necessitate his digging through the length of his property. The Public Works Director pointed out that the sanitary sewer on Country Drive is a force main. A direct connection to a force main is more difficult than a connection to a gravity main. The Director also pointed out that the property owners can petition for sanitary Page 60 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION DECEMBER 9, 1999 sewer improvement at any time. Once a petition is received, the City would hold an improvement hearing, could order the improvement, it would be installed, and the costs assessed against the benefiting properties. Costanzo pointed out that if sewer is installed on Ryan Drive, the City will put in a water main line in the same location. Costanzo indicated that then the water main through his property would be dug up and any blacktopping which he has done would be disturbed. The Public Works Director agreed that water main would likely be put in on Ryan Drive. However, the water main through the Costanzo property would be abandoned in place and would not be dug up. Costanzo indicated that he granted the City the easement for sanitary sewer on the east 10 feet of his property. Costanzo indicated that in return for that easement, he would not be assessed for any sanitary sewer improvement on Ryan Drive. It was noted that the easement document in the agendas is signed by Pat Peterson. The Deputy Clerk noted that Mr. Peterson is the titleholder of the property; therefore, easements would have to be signed by him. Mr. Costanzo again indicated that he signed the easement. Keis pointed out that the issue before the Commission is that of blacktopping of required parking. Mr. Costanzo has requested that the blacktopping requirement be delayed until 2002 given the possibility of utility improvements in the area. The Zoning Administrator has recommended a 6/30/00 deadline for blacktopping. Knudsen asked if the timing of these improvements is undetermined. The Public Works Director indicated that if the property owners petition for the improvements, they could occur next year some time. The Zoning Administrator pointed out that the City is not asking Mr. Costanzo to blacktop the entire front yard, but rather the 24 required parking spaces. Mr. Costanzo has indicated that he would prefer to blacktop the entire front of his property. The Zoning Administrator pointed out that the 24 required parking spaces could be configured in such a way so that they do not interfere with future utility connections. The remainder of the site can be left surfaced with Class V materials. Page 61 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION DECEMBER 9, 1999 Costanzo felt that any parking layouts other than the entire front yard of his property would have parking too far from the building. Costanzo indicated that the best solution would be to blacktop the entire front yard area, and noted that he is willing to do it. However, he would like until 2002 so that the utility issues can be resolved. The Public Works Director pointed out that utilities would go in the right -of -way for Ryan Drive. Connections to Mr. Costanzo's building would come in directly from Ryan Drive to the building. Costanzo felt that if sewer was installed on Ryan Drive, water main as well as gas main would be relocated at the same time. Again, the Public Works Director pointed out that existing lines would be abandoned in place and would not be dug up. Kraemer pointed out that Mr. Costanzo has the option to petition for the improvement at any time. Costanzo indicated that NSP may not want to move their gas line, and then he would have to blacktop over a line that may have to be dug up in the future. Keis pointed out that gas service is provided by NSP, not the City. Costanzo noted that he has a property with a gas line in the middle of it, and now it is his problem. Montour noted that when Mr. Costanzo purchased the property, he assumed ownership of it with all its existing conditions. Keis noted that the issue before the Commission is that of blacktopping of required parking. Costanzo requested that rather than continue to process the CUP, he would like to run out the lease he has with his renter. This lease runs through July. At that time the outdoor storage will be removed, and he would no longer require the CUP and, as a result, no longer be required to blacktop. The Commission felt that they should act on the CUP request before them this evening. Mr. Keis recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit for open and outdoor storage of materials and equipment as an accessory use at 3151 Country Drive as submitted by Mr. Costanzo subject to compliance with the blacktopping requirement for the 24 required parking spaces by June 30, 2000 should it be determined Page 62 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION DECEMBER 9, 1999 that no sanitary sewer improvement is pending in the foreseeable future, and extending that deadline to February 29, 2000 should Mr. Costanzo petition the City for sanitary sewer improvement, and further subject to compliance with the remaining requirements of the Zoning Administrator as outlined in her report dated November 5, 1999. Motion seconded by Duray. Motion carried 6 — 1. Knudsen voted against. FINAL PLAT Mr. Dick Kimmes appeared before the Commission requesting & VARIANCE Final Plat approval for Gilanderi Addition. Kimmes noted that GILANDERI the plat consists of four single- family lots. It was originally ADDITION proposed with five Tots, but was reduced down to four. Kimmes noted that filling is occurring on Lot 1 of the plat and ponding for the project has been moved to the southwest corner of Lot 4. Kimmes described the width of the existing street, and noted that the plat will result in the widening of Gilanderi Lane adjacent to Lots 3 and 4. He further noted that right -of -way is being dedicated for a cul -de -sac at the end of Gilanderi Lane. This right -of -way is being dedicated in the event that Highway 36 is widened and the loop street through the neighborhood is eliminated. Kimmes indicated that it appears unlikely, however, that the loop street will be eliminated. However, should that happen, additional right -of- way will be needed for the cul -de -sac from the property owner on the east. It would be the Highway Department's responsibility to obtain that right -of -way should it be needed. Kimmes further reported that he is requesting a five -foot front yard setback variance for Lot 4. He noted that the setback is from the cul -de -sac right -of -way, and it is unlikely that the cul -de -sac will ever be improved. He also pointed out that he is trying to save as many trees in the area as possible since these trees provide a noise barrier from Highway 36. David Farley, property owner directly across the street from this plat, reported that he had no concern with the variance. Mr. Farley indicated that Mr. Kimmes has been required to drop the level of the street at the south end. He requested that this be minimized since the street level provides for some additional buffering. Page 63 MAYOR Michael 1. Fahey couwc .

Green Company CONSULTING 'ENGINEERS December 2, 1999 File: 803660J-0240 Ms. Kathy Glanzer Deputy City Clerk City of Little Canada 515 Little Canada Road East Little Canada, MN 55117 -1633 RE: GILANDERI ADDITION Dear Ms. Glanzer. As requested, we have reviewed the final plat of the Gilanderi Addition and the variance request for Lot 4, Block 1. The preliminary plat of Gilanderi Addition was approved by the City Council on December 17, 1998. The major change to the plat since that time has been the addition of more right -of -way in front of Lot 4, Block 1 in the event a cul-de-sac is ever needed in the future. This was brought about by a comment letter from the Minnesota Department of Transportation which indicated they could, at some time, widen TH 36 and eliminate the looped road which falls within the TH 36 right -of -way. Although 1 believe the likelihood of this occurring in the future is minimal, the Developer was asked to provide options for a cul-de -sac at the south end of Gilanderi Lane should the need ever arise. The Developer prepared three options that were reviewed by the City Planner, the Public Works Director, and myself. The option we chose required some additional right -of -way be provided on Lot 4, Block 1. This is also the reason for the variance request on. Lot 4, Block 1. Because setbacks are measured from the property line, this additional right -of -way moves the property line closer to the home pad, causing the need for the variance. At the current time, the construction of Gilanderi Lane will not include this cul -de- sac; therefore, the road will not be closer to the home site on Lot 4, Block 1. The road will only become closer if MnDOT eliminates the looped road in the neighborhood causing a cul-de -sac to be constructed. We would recommend that the final plat and the variance request be approved. If you have any questions regarding this information, please call. Sincerely, Howard R.

Little Canada, Ramsey County County C.S. 6212 The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) reviewed the Gilanderi Addition plat in February of 1999. In response to your questions on the comment regarding Mn/DOT's plans to widen TH36 and terminate the easement making Gilanderi Lane a dead end, we have found that any widening in this area will have to be to the outside of the existing lanes. In other areas of TH36 we have room to widen using the inside median. Please contact me at 651- 582 -1475 with any questions regarding this review.

Claypool, L.S.: SUBJECT: Gilanderi Addition Site Plan Review P99 -004 North of TH36 on West Gilanderi Ln. Little Canada, Ramsey County C.S. 6212 The Minnesota Department of Transportation ( Mn/DOT) has reviewed the Gilanderi Addition plat. We find the plat acceptable for further development with consideration of the following comments:. We may require a drainage permit for the proposed project. Please submit drainage area maps and runoff computations for the existing and proposed conditions. Provide one foot of freeboard above the 100 year high water level where the pond would overflow to Mn/DOT right of way. Pond computations should be from the 100 year -24 hour storm. The Grasslake Watershed Management Organization should have the opportunity to review drainage to ponding area mentioned on preliminary plat drawing. Questions regarding Mn/DOT drainage concerns may be directed to Martin Korthank at 651/779 -5015. Questions regarding the permit process may be directed to Keith Van Wagner of our Permits Unit at 651/582 -1443. • No grading will be allowed on Mn/DOT right of way. • Mn/DOT's survey section has identified some discrepancies in the plat. The plat does not adequately identify Mn/DOT right of way. Gilanderi Lane does not access TH36 as shown on the plat. Gilandri Lane runs east/west along the Mn/DOT right of way. These corrections should be made to the final plat. Please contact John Sutherland at 651/779 -5008 for more information. • An easement was granted on Mn/DOT's right of way just east of this plat for residential traffic flow. This does not include access to TH36. Mn/DOT may widen TH36 in the future and close this easement making Gilanderi a dead end. Room for a cul -de -sac should be left 3 in the southeast comer of this plat. Page 69 NXC MEMORANDUM NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS COMMUNITY PLANNING - DESIGN MARKET RESEARCH TO: Little Canada Mayor and City Council Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: Daniel Licht / Stephen Grittman DATE: 4 November 1999 RE: Little Canada - Gilanderi Addition; Final Plat FILE NO.: 765.09 - 99.32 Mr. Dick Kimmes has submitted a final plat for a four -lot single family residential development along Gilander Lane, south of County Road B2. The preliminary plat for this project was previously considered in late 1998 and early 1999. The design of the final plat is generally consistent with that of the approved preliminary plat. The proposed lot range in size from just more than 18,000 square feet up to more than 28,000 square feet. Right - of -way has been provided for Gilander Lane where the existing loop driveway is to be replaced with a 24 foot wide public street. As a condition of the preliminary plat approval, the developer is required to provide the necessary easements for a cul -de -sac at the south end of Gilander Lane. The easements are necessary in order to provide for a turnaround should the existing loop road be removed. The developer must provide documentation that all necessary easements have been obtained, subject to review by City staff. The only other outstanding issue with the proposed final plat is that the City Engineer approve the drainage for the project. Therefore, our office would recommend approval of the final plat subject to the following conditions: 1. Documentation of adequate easements for a cul -de -sac at the southern terminus of Gilander Lane. 2. City Engineer of all grading, drainage and utility plans. The driveway to County Road B2 for Lot 1 be located as far west as possible. pc.

Motion seconded by Duray. Motion carried 6 — 1. Knudsen voted against. FINAL PLAT Mr. Dick Kimmes appeared before the Commission requesting & VARIANCE Final Plat approval for Gilanderi Addition. Kimmes noted that GILANDERI the plat consists of four single - family lots. It was originally ADDITION proposed with five Lots, but was reduced down to four. Kimmes noted that filling is occurring on Lot 1 of the plat and ponding for the project has been moved to the southwest corner of Lot 4. Kimmes described the width of the existing street, and noted that the plat will result in the widening of Gilanderi Lane adjacent to Lots 3 and 4. He further noted that right -of -way is being dedicated for a cul -de -sac at the end of Gilanderi Lane. This right -of -way is being dedicated in the event that Highway 36 is widened and the loop street through the neighborhood is eliminated. Kimmes indicated that it appears unlikely, however, that the loop street will be eliminated. However, should that happen, additional right -of- way will be needed for the cul -de -sac from the property owner on the east. It would be the Highway Department's responsibility to obtain that right -of -way should it be needed. Kimmes further reported that he is requesting a five -foot front yard setback variance for Lot 4. He noted that the setback is from the cul -de -sac right -of -way, and it is unlikely that the cul -de -sac will ever be improved. He also pointed out that he is trying to save as many trees in the area as possible since these trees provide a noise barrier from Highway 36. David Farley, property owner directly across the street from this plat, reported that he had no concern with the variance. Mr. Farley indicated that Mr. Kimmes has been required to drop the level of the street at the south end. He requested that this be minimized since the street level provides for some additional buffering. Page 73 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION DECEMBER 9, 1999 Kimmes reported that the City Engineer is requesting a level grade for the street in order that the proper drainage is obtained. Kimmes did not feel this imposed any hardship on him or the plat. Mr. Carson recommended approval of the Final Plat for the Gilanderi Addition as well as a five -foot Variance from front yard setback requirements for Lot 4 subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner and the City Engineer. Motion seconded by Knudsen. Motion carried 7 — 0. REZONING Mr. Dave Langer appeared before the Commission requesting a FROM BW TO rezoning of the Mueller property on County Road B from Business 13-3 — Warehousing (BW) to General Business (B -3). Langer described MUELLER the location of the property as well as the surrounding property PROPERTY uses. Mr. Langer reported that the rezoning is being requested to accommodate development of a retail sporting goods business on the site. Duray asked if PUD zoning would be more appropriate given that there is already PUD zoning in the area. The City Planner indicated that the use would be allowed under a PUD zone, however, a PUD permit would be required as well. The Planner noted that the Comp Plan calls for commercial uses on this site, therefore, the B -3 zoning would be appropriate. The Planner acknowledged that while the B -3 zoning may look out of place on the Zoning Map, it is consistent with the land use plan in the Comp Plan. He also pointed out that the B -3 zoning will provide the City with architectural review of the building. Montour expressed concern that the sporting goods business would be selling guns, and noted the two schools in this area. Mr. Langer reported that the business would have to be licensed by the State for firearms sale, and would have to comply with all State requirements. Mr. Barraclough recommended approval of the rezoning of the Muller property on County Road B from Business Warehousing (BW) to General Business (B -3) as recommended by the City Planner.

The current zoning is B -W, Business Warehousing. The proposed zoning is B -3, General Business. Mr. Langer proposes to develop the parcel with a new building of approximately 26,800 square feet. The building would be occupied by an outdoor sporting goods retailer, including skiing, hunting, and fishing. Surrounding land uses are a mix of commercial office space, mini - storage, and manufacturing north of County Road B. To the south, Maplewood uses are primarily commercial retail. The parcel has exposure to both County Road B and to Trunk Highway 36. Zoning in Little Canada is B -W to the east and west, with PUD on the St. Jude site farther east. The Zoning Ordinance specifies the requirements for rezoning consideration. These requirements focus on the ability to provide public services, compliance with the new zoning district performance standards, and consistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan. There do not appear to be any issues related to public service capacity in this area that would be affected by the change from B -W to B -3. County Road B is a collector street, and there are City utility services serving the area. With regard to performance standards, the site plan submitted by the applicant indicates more than adequate area to meet setbacks and to provide for parking, loading, and other needs of a retail use. 5775 WAYZATA BOULEVARD, SUITE 555 ST.

Therefore, the Council felt this was the time to address these inconsistencies. The Planner pointed out that the Comp Plan calls for a residential use of this site. The property owners are concerned about this because they feel it is unlikely that the property will redevelop as residential.

CONSULTANTS INC COMMUNITY PLANNING. - OESIG.N - MARKET RESEARCH. MEMORANDUM TO: Little Canada Mayor and City Council. FROM: Stephen Grittman DATE: November 19, 1999 RE: Little Canada - McCumber/Buetow Zoning Issue. FILE NO`: 758.10 . At the direction. of the City. Council, ,staff has been working on developing a zoning approach which will 'address the issues raised by the inconsistency between the current zoning district (1 -1, Light industrial) and the and use plan (low density residential) for the Buetow and McCumber properties at County Road .D and Edgerton Street. • Staff has' met with the Buetows and McCumbers, and prepared a draft zoningamendment intended to address the inconsistency. The zoning amendinentutilized a PUD•Zoning designation, with specific uses allowed within the district A modified 1-1 setback requirement was proposed in the first draft- . After meeting with the McCumbers and their representatiVe,.three primary aspects of'the proposal were raised to which the property owners objected. The McCumbers specifically objected to the PUD District (rather than a business ,or industrial designation), the fact that industrial uses labeled 'Manufacturing; compounding, assembly, packaging, treatment, or storage of products and materials "were listed as conditional uses 'rather than permitted uses, and'the fact that the setback provision 'imposed setbacks adjacent to residential property which were greater than the Industrial district standards. The original. draft included these three provisions as a part of the.overall intent to•avoid conflict between the zoning and the land use plan, and protection of the existing residential neighborhood. The PUD approach was applied because it altawed the City to include a statement that future land•use within this particular PUD•districtwould be encouraged to convert to residential, even though the currently allowed uses were industrial in nature. The uses which are more industrial in nature were established as Conditional uses rather than permitted uses In an effort to manage the potential•impacts of industrial use•on these ' 5778 WAYZATA BOULEVARD, ,SUITE 555 ST..

Finally, the setback section was written to restrict additional industrial building encroachment toward the residential areas. On the assumption that additional industrial building development would make future conversion less likely, the setback provision was written to discourage additional new building construction. Upon meeting with the McCumbers to discuss these concerns, staff has written a second draft of the proposed ordinance.. This draft creates a new district, the "B -P, Business - Industrial District. it is essentially similar to the PUD district originally proposed, with two changes. First, the reference to future residential use has been removed, replaced by a Purpose section which discusses the location of the district. Second, the setback provision has been rewritten to reflect the required setbacks of the 1 -1 District, and not restrict additional building consistent with those setback regulations. These changes would likely necessitate a change to the Comprehensive Plan to reflect a longer term business/ industrial land use on the subject site. The industrial uses are kept as conditional uses in this draft. The McCumbers have expressed their concern with this approach. It is their belief that the requirement for CUP approval for every industrial tenant will be overly burdensome, resulting in difficulty in renting their building. Staff believes thatthis clause is appropriate for the setting. Without it, any industrial use could locate on the site, leading to future conflicts between this property and the adjoining residential neighborhood, even where the industrial user may be in compliance with all industrial district standards. The CUP process allows the City to review industrial tenants, and to ensure that such tenants will not negatively Impact the area. To date, the site has had only minimal issues related to industrial users, but the long -term likelihood is that future conflicts will arise, due simply to the nature of the land uses. Finally, it should be noted that "Contractor's shops ", an allowable 1 -1 use, is also allowed in this proposed Business - Industrial District. A definition of such uses is proposed in this ordinance which attempts to distinguish between the type of fabrication or manufacturing done by contractors (permitted uses) and other industrial firms (conditional uses). Staff will be prepared to discuss this proposal with the City Council at the upcoming meeting. cc: Kathy Glanzer Joel Hanson Charles Bartholdi Page 99 515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 (651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 -4538 Email: cityhall @ci.little- canada.mn.us TO: FROM: DATE: RE: Steve Grittman, City Planner Elizabeth Mursko, Zoning Administrator October 4, 1999 Request for Tenant/Use List 608 County Rd.

Ayes (5) Pedersen, Scalze, LaValle, Fahey, Morelan. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. The Council reviewed the City Planner's report dated November 19, 1999 relative to the concept rezoning of the Buetow and McCumber properties. It was noted that the Planner is suggesting a B -1 District (Business Industrial) for these properties. The Planner note¢ that the property owners were concerned about the rezoning of their properties to PUD (Planned Unit Development), specifically with references to future residential use of the property and with the requirement that Industrial uses be required to go through the CUP process. The Planner indicated that while he has removed the reference to the future residential use, he is recommending that any industrial uses of the property be required to have a Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Bartholie, representing the McCumber's, indicated that they have met with City staff to discuss the issues on two different occasions. He indicated that they originally had three concerns, two of which have been resolved. Their remaining concern is that industrial uses will require a CUP rather than being permitted uses. Bartholie pointed out that there are two existing tenants of the McCumber property that this would affect as well as pointed out the effect this would have on the McCumber's ability to attract new tenants. Bartholie indicated that tenants will not want to go through the CUP process and will Look for other locations. He also felt that the CUP requirement will affect the McCumber's lease negotiations with potential tenants. Bartholie requested that industrial uses be allowed as permitted uses rather than conditional uses. Page 101 MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 22, 1999 Scalze pointed out that the Council has looked at the original site plan for the McCumber property and noted that it was originally proposed as a mini - storage facility. She noted that over the years the use of the property has changed. Scalze pointed out that the property is surrounded by residential uses on three sides. She questioned how the Buetow's use of the property for their stucco business will fit in the B -1 District proposed. The Planner indicated that the District provisions were drafted based on the Council's discussions of the issue, the Comprehensive Plan, as well as meetings held with the property owners. The Planner indicated that the stucco business itself would comply with the provisions proposed in the B -I District. He also noted that open and outdoor storage continues as a conditional use in the district and Buetow's were denied this permit. Scalze asked the differences between the B -I District and the I -1 District. The Planner replied that manufacturing, compounding, assembly, packaging, treatment, or storage of products and materials is a permitted use in the I -1 District, but a conditional uses in the B -1 District. He also noted that automobile major repair is not allowed in the 3-1 District. The Planner indicated that there are also a couple of permitted uses in the BW District which have been eliminated from the B -1 District. Fahey pointed out that the CUP provides the City additional control. If a manufacturing use has a CUP and is not meeting the conditions of its permit, the City can revoke the Conditional Use Permit. Fahey felt that the City should retain this control given that the area is surrounded by residential uses. Scalze pointed out that the I -1 District allows metal buildings, and asked the building materials ailowed in the B -I District. The Planner replied that the building materials are the same. Scalze asked suggested that give the area is surrounded by residential development, the building materials specified in the B -1 District should be upgraded. Fahey pointed out that upgrading the building materials will result in non- conformity issues with the existing building. He also noted that the City has not received complaints from the surrounding property owners on the condition of the McCumber property. Fahey indicated that he was more concerned about the impact of uses and outdoor storage on the surrounding area. Fahey felt that short of a. more restrictive zoning or residential zoning for the McCumber and Buetow properties, the B -1 District is a reasonable compromise and provides a good balance with the surrounding uses. Page 102 MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 22, 1999 LaValle asked if it would be cumbersome for the building owner to have to go to the Planning Commission and Council for Conditional Use Permits in order to lease space. The Planner indicated that contractor's shops would be allowed as permitted uses. However, if a business would be doing manufacturing or assembly, a CUP would be required. Bartholie reported that there are two and possibly three existing tenants that would need CUP's. These tenants are likely to vacate the premises rather than go through the CUP process. Fahey indicated that the need for control of these types of businesses given the surrounding residential use. However, given the City has received no complaints relative to existing tenants, he would not be opposed to Conditional Use Permits for these tenants. The City Administrator indicated that existing tenants would be grandfathered in as lawfully non - conforming and would not need CUP's. Bartholie indicated that the same concern exists for new tenants. Morelan suggested that if the manufacturing uses, etc were made permitted uses, the City would lose control over the uses that could go in on the property. Morelan felt the ordinance proposed was a reasonable compromise. He also indicated that while he would prefer not to see a metal building on the Buetow property, he was not sure that would cause him to vote against the adoption of this zoning district. Mr. Buetow reported that he has a site plan for his property which he would like to present. Fahey suggested that Mr. Buetow submit the plan to the Zoning Administiator for her review. Morelan introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 99 -11 -240 - CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING FOR WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1999 TO CONSIDER AMENDING THE ZONING CODE TO ESTABLISH THE B-I (BUSINESS - INDUSTRIAL) DISTRICT The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Pedersen. Ayes (4) Morelan, Pedersen, Scalze, Fahey. Nays (1) LaValle. Resolution declared adopted. Page 103 MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 22, 1999 It was noted if the B -I District is established, and the McCumber and Buetow properties are rezoned to B -1, the Comprehensive Plan should be amended to reflect these changes. Moreian introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 99 -11- 241 — CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1999 TO CONSIDER THE REZONING OF THE BUETOW AND McCUMBER PROPERTIES FROM I -1 TO B-I SUBJECT TO THE REVISION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO REFLECT THIS LAND USE The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Pedersen.

Ayes (4) Fahey, Morelan, Scalze, Pedersen. Nays (1) LaValle. FIRE RETTF,F The Council reviewed the City Administrator's report dated November BENEFIT 19, 1999 regarding the Fire Relief Association's request for a benefit INCREASE level increase from 32,200 per year of service to 32,500. The Administrator noted that this increase will exceed the targeted range of the six -year funding plan that the City has with the Relief Association. Therefore, the City has the option to re -open discussions on this plan. The Administrator also noted that the increase does not require an increase in the City's current funding level of 318,000 per year. He also noted that if the benefit level remained at 32,500 for 2001, no City contribution would be required. The City Administrator recommended that the increase be approved due to the strong financial position of the Relief Fund and also recommended that Page 104 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION DECEMBER 9, 1999 CUP — 180 RYAN DR. — ELFERING BROS.

Kyle Elfering appeared before the Commission requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for open and outdoor storage of materials and construction equipment at 180 Ryan Drive. The Zoning Administrator pointed out that this is a new business moving into Ryan Industrial Park. She noted that the property has been completely cleaned up. Elfering reported that they have agreed to the requirements recommended by the Zoning Administrator. Mr. Knudsen recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit for open and outdoor storage of materials and construction equipment for 180 Ryan Drive as requested by Nancy Ryan and Elfering Bros. subject to compliance with the recommendations of the Zoning Administrator as outlined in her report dated November 29, 1999. Motion seconded by Keis. Motion carried 7 — 0. The City Planner reported that there are three actions before the Commission this evening. The first is to establish a Business Industrial (B -I) Zoning District, the send would be to amend the Comp Plan relative to the Buetow and McCumber properties to reflect the business - industrial use, and the third would be to rezone the property to B -I District. The Planner reviewed the background information on this matter, noting that the City was first presented with a request for a CUP for open and outdoor storage on the Buetow property. That request was denied; and at the time, the Council observed that the zoning of the property did not conform to the land use portion of the Comp Plan. Therefore, the Council felt this was the time to address these inconsistencies. The Planner pointed out that the Comp Plan calls for a residential use of this site. The property owners are concerned about this because they feel it is unlikely that the property will redevelop as residential. As a result, the Council directed staff to develop a zoning district which would Page 105 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION DECEMBER 9, 1999 accommodate the existing uses of the site, but would limit industrial uses given the surrounding residential area. The City Planner reviewed the proposed Business - Industrial (B -I) District noting that it includes all permitted uses allowed in the BW District except for cartage and express facilities, building materials sales, and transportation terminals. It also allows all permitted uses in the I -1 District except for auto major repair, manufacturing, compounding, assembly, packaging, treatment, or storage of products and materials. Open and outdoor storage of up to 10% of the land area is allowed as a Conditional Use as is group day care, manufacturing, compounding, assembly, packaging, treatment, or storage of products and materials. The Planner also noted that the ordinance contains a definition of contractor's shops to try and address the fabrication issues which go hand -in -hand with such a business. Charles Bartholie, attorney representing the McCumber's, reported on the history of the property and the reasons why residential is not a good use for this site. He noted that the McCumber's built their building 23 years ago and at the time the property was zoned I -1. At this same time, the McCumber's requested to build a single - family home on the site, and the Council denied that request. Bartholie noted that the McCumber's have maintained their property in good condition, have attracted quality tenants to the City, and have paid property taxes. They have made improvements to their property based on the I -1 zoning. Bartholie noted that when the building was constructed, substantial soil work and improvements had to be done. Mr. McCumber obtained estimates for removal of these improvements and the building to make the property suitable for residential development. The estimates are over $300,000. It would be difficult to sell the property as a residential site for this amount. Bartholie noted that it is true the property presently abuts residential property. However, he noted that the freeway is across the street as well as commercial development in Vadnais Heights. There is also an industrial park down the street from this property. Bartholie reported that the McCumber's have canvassed a six block area with a petition for the property to remain as it is presently zoned at I -1. All but two property owners declined to sign the petition. Page 106 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION DECEMBER 9, 1999 Bartholie reported that there are several good reasons why it is to the City's benefit to designate the Buetow and McCumber properties as a commercial use. First, the tax base is higher for a residential property. Secondly, the City would be showing their support of commercial property owners by retaining the commercial designation of this property. Third, the City has the opportunity to upgrade the Buetow property. The Buetow's operate a stucco business and they have submitted a plan for the upgrade of their property. Bartholie reported that he and the McCumber's have met with City staff and have come up with a compromise in the form of the ordinance which has been presented to the Commission this evening. However, there is one change that the McCumber's would like with regard to the manufacturing aspect of the ordinance. Bartholie reported that the McCumber's have three tenants in their building which do some manufacturing. While these tenants could stay as legally non - conforming uses, if they moved out of the building, the McCumber's could not replace them with a similar use without going through the CUP process. Bartholie reported that they are requesting that manufacturing be allowed as a permitted use. Bartholie reported that the ordinance as submitted with the revision requested would greatly help the McCumber's while still protecting the adjacent residential properties. The City Planner indicated that as part of the discussion of this matter a couple of additional issues have arisen. The first is that the B -I District proposed would allow the same type of building materials as are allowed in the I -1 District. While there was no Council consensus on this issue, there was discussion of an upgrade to those standards. The second issue is that outdoor storage would be allowed as a Conditional Use up to 10% of the lot size. This outdoor storage would have to be screened. Knudsen pointed out that the McCumber building is metal, and suggested that it would not make sense to require upgraded building materials which would result in the McCumber building being legally non - conforming. Keis pointed out that the Buetow's wish to redevelop their site. If building materials are not upgraded, the Buetow's would be allowed to put up a metal building. Keis pointed out that the Buetow and McCumber properties are industrial uses in the middle of a residential area. He indicated that he was not sure if he Page 107 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION DECEMBER 9,1999 entirely agreed with the ordinance being presented. However, he also indicated that he did not have a better solution. Montour asked about the limit on outdoor storage. The Planner pointed out that the B -I District caps outdoor storage at 10% of the size of the property. There is currently no cap on outdoor storage in the I -1 District, but there are restrictions on the amount of outdoor storage in the I -P District. The Planner also reported that given the definition of contractor's shops, it would be his interpretation that the Buetow's stucco business is a permitted use. Keis asked about the outdoor storage on the McCumber property. It was noted that the McCumber's have a Conditional Use Permit for this outdoor storage. Knudsen asked if there was a way to accommodate the request of the McCumber's to allow manufacturing uses. The City Planner indicated that Mr. Bartholie has asked that a list of specific industrial uses be included in the ordinance. However, the Zoning District is not set up in this fashion and pointed out that it would be difficult to come up with a comprehensive list. Knudsen was concerned over interpretation problems with the definition of contractor's shops. He suggested that a limited list of uses may include 70% of the possibilities. Carson stated that he felt the long -term use of the site should remain designed as residential. Keis felt that an upgrade of building materials would be appropriate. He noted that any new construction which occurs on these properties should not be metal. The City Planner pointed out that there are upgraded building material standards in the I -P District. Bartholie pointed out that the McCumber building is a structural steel building. Keis noted that the exterior is metal and it has the appearance of a metal building. Mr. McCumber reported that he had soil borings done on his property and the soils are such that they would not support anything heavier. Page 108 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION DECEMBER 9, 1999 Knudsen felt that it was more of an aesthetic issue. Montour felt that the rezoning to B -I District would still result in a spot zoning. However, he was in support of the rezoning to B -I given the circumstances. Montour pointed out that the issue for the property owners is the requirement of a CUP for manufacturing businesses. Montour pointed out the requirement of CUP's in Ryan Industrial Park, and noted that it has not seemed to be an issue in renting properties in that area. Montour pointed out that the CUP requirement allows the City to have a look at a potential tenant and operation prior to their locating in a property. Montour stated that he was concerned about the need for upgrading building materials, but was not sure the best way to address this issue. Mr. Buetow was concerned about the soil conditions on his property and the type of construction these soils would support. The City Planner noted that the issue is aesthetics and that the building materials upgrade in the I -P District generally deal with exterior finish materials, not structural issues. Therefore, a building could be of frame construction with a masonry exterior treatment. The Planner reviewed the building materials standards of the I -P District, and it was noted that stucco up to 25% was allowed. It was also noted that the Planning Commission could modify these standards if they so desire, and allow for a greater percentage of stucco given that the Buetow's would likely be proposing a stucco building.

CUP'S & Lori Peterson, Valor Enterprises, appeared before the Commission VARIANCE — requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for open and 3161 -3167 outdoor storage of equipment as an accessory use in the side and SPRUCE rear yard of the property located at 3161 -3167 Spruce Street, as STREET — well as a Variance from distance separation requirements for auto VALOR sales lots and a Conditional Use Permit for an auto sales lot. ENTERPRISES The City Planner reported that the City's ordinance requires a 500 - foot separation between auto sales lots in the City. The property directly across the street from this site has been issued a retail auto sales license. In addition to separation requirements, the City's ordinance limits retail auto sales licenses to four. Three have been issued. Lori Peterson reported that 90% of their vehicles they own, repair, and sell on a wholesale basis back to dealers through the local auctions. The other 10% they repair and sell to the general public. Therefore, they are requesting the retail sales license. Peterson suggested that the hardship to justify the variance from the distance requirement is that without the retail license, they will suffer a reduction in their business. Peterson pointed out that all retail sales are conducted by appointment only, in response to ads placed in the newspaper. The sales lot is not the typical lot with traffic coming and going. This retail sales activity is a limited portion of their business. Keis asked if the repair operation involved clips of cars. Peterson replied that it did not. They purchase all parts from parts suppliers and would not be storing parts on site. However, as cars are being repaired, parts would be removed, and the vehicles may have to Page 110 :MAYOR Michael L Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaValle Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen 515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 ADMINISTRATOR (651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 4538 Joel R.

The applicant indicates that there is one business (Valor Enterprise) located in the building with a total of two (2) employees and several independent contractors. Site and surrounding areas This property is an interior lot located on a 1.84 acre parcel on the west side of Spruce Street. The property is zoned "1 -1" Light Industrial. The purpose of the 1 -1 zoning district is to provide for the establishment of warehousing and light or limited industrial development, which because of the nature of the product or character of activity requires isolation from residential or commercial use. The principal uses within this building is storage /warehouse and office surrounded by the following and uses: North Industrial Property South Industrial Property East St. Paul Water Utility West Spruce Street / Industrial Property * See attached site plan dated November 22, 1999 Page 112 Setbacks Front yard Side yards Rear yard 40 feet from the property line Not less than fifteen (15) feet on any one side, nor less than forty (40) feet on the side yard abutting a street. 20 feet from rear boundary line Open & Outdoor Exterior Storage (Accessory Use) The applicant is requesting a new accessory use of open and outdoor storage of equipment (maximum number of repairable "held for resale" vehicles -20) in the rear and side of the building as indicated on the site plan. The zoning ordinance allows for exterior storage of equipment and materials to be stored in the side and rear yard by conditional use permit (CUP). The open and outdoor storage may encroach into the required side and rear yard setback, but in no case shall equipment be located closer than ten (10) feet to a rear yard or side yard lot line. (903.020.D.3) Open and outdoor storage as an accessory use is permitted with a conditional use permit (CUP) within the Light Industrial District (1 -1) provided the following conditions are met: 1.

REFER TO THE FOLLOWING: A. Site plan. B. Photos of existing property. No new construction is planned. 2. STATEMENT OF INTENDED USE: Valor Enterprises, Inc. is proposing to purchase this property from Dan Sebesta. Before doing so, it is necessary to pre - determine if our intended use will be permitted by the city. Valor Enterprises, Inc. mainly buys and sells vehicles to other dealers through the local wholesale auctions. Our market niche is the purchase of vehicles that require autobody repair of some sort. We operate a repair facility in which we disassemble the damaged parts, perform any unibody (frame) repair, replace the damaged parts with either new or used parts purchased from dealers or salvage yards, do any bodywork and paint, then detail in preparation for resale. During the course of daily activities, it is necessary to "stage" the timing of the repairs. This involves having the vehicles organized in order of planned repair while waiting for necessary parts to arrive or adequate time in the schedule to complete given repairs. The ability to store our vehicles outdoors during this staging time is necessary in order for us to operate. We would be storing vehicles that are in various stages of repair at any given time. We anticipate utilizing the full capacity of the yard area by dividing it into appropriate sections for those that are new arrivals, incomplete, or finished awaiting delivery to auction. We are aware of the current owner's existing non - compliance status to ordinance. According to a letter (copy provided) sent to Dan Sebesta, there are currently 13 items that need to be addressed in order for the city to issue him a conditional use permit. We understand the same conditions will therefore apply should we become the property owners. Dan Sebesta has agreed to meet these requirements as a condition of the sale of this property to us. Should anything be required of us in addition to this list of 13 items, we will complete them. Considering the existing non - compliance status of the property, we feel we are in a good position to improve the property and therefore contribute positively to the improvement of the character of the business park. First of all, we would be owners, not just tenants, having a vested interest in the area. Our business is growing, which is why we are in a position to purchase this property and make a financial commitment to the future. As one drives through this area, it is obvious there are some areas/occupants with issues pertaining to appearance, maintenance, and probably compliance. We have every intention of improving our investment and will work reasonably with the city to achieve those goals. If we do purchase this property, the city is automically achieving its goal of compliance in that Dan Sebesta will be motivated to complete Page 117 the list to make the sale and financially able to afford it with proceeds from the sale. There will be a reduction in heavy truck and equipment operation since our business does not require these with the exception of an ocassional tow truck delivery of our incoming inventory. There will not be any dirt hauling or gravel hauling in and out, so less mess will accumulate on the public right -of -way. By cleaning the yard of its existing junk and debris, besides an obvious improvement in appearance, there would be an improvement in safety and also a reduction of mosquito larvae breeding sites. The fence and gates will be repaired and screened where needed, plus a new fence section is required to be installed at forty feet from the property line to keep the outdoor storage area shielded from view of the street, therefore improving the street appeal. Since the adjacent properties are motor vehicle related —the bus company to the south and a repair shop to the north —there would be no ill -effect on the surrounding properties. Our intended use would not detract from the character of the business park. The existing public facilities are adequate with regard to sewer, water, and streets. Our use requires no changes in these. 3. NO CONSTRUCTION CHANGES ARE BEING MADE. THEREFORE, NO GRADING, DRAINAGE, ETC. ANALYSIS IS REQUIRED 4. CERTIFICATE OF SURVEY NOT REQUIRED AT TIME OF APPLICATION. One will be completed, hopefully, as a condition of the sale of the property to us. We are aware that one will be required to obtain a building permit for the required installation of the setback fence at the forty foot line. 5. NOT APPLICABLE. 6.

The Zoning Administrator has prepared a report for an outdoor storage CUP which would be utilized for the storage of vehicles awaiting repair or pick up. Valor Enterprises' principal use is major auto repair, for which they have a need to store a portion of the repairable vehicles outdoors. Major auto repair is a permitted principal use in the 1 -1 zoning district, and the Zoning Administrator's report reviews the CUP for accessory outdoor storage that the applicant has requested. The applicant also wishes to be permitted to sell repaired vehicles to retail customers. The City allows this type of use (motor vehicle sales lot) by a separate Conditional Use Permit. The consideration of this CUP is subject to a number of conditions, including site improvements, total vehicles on display, and a limitation on the number of such permits that may be granted in the City at any one time. The requirements applied to the motor vehicle sales lot CUP are as follows: 1. Outside sales associated with a principal building of at least 1,000 square feet. 2. Entire sales lot and parking area is paved. 3. A minimum of 380 square feet of sales area per vehicle. 4. Adequate parking and loading, per ordinance. 5. Perimeter curb around the sales and parking lots. 6. Landscaping in accordance with the ordinance. 7. May not be located within 500 feet of residential property, or another motor vehicle sales lot. 5775 WAYZATA BOULEVARD, SUITE 555 ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA 5541 6 PHONE_ 61 2 - 595-9636 FAX Page 126 IAIL NAC @ WINTERNET.COM 8. No more than four licenses in effect throughout the City. 9. Licenses subject to annual review. The primary issue raised by this application is requirement number 7, that of the 500 foot spacing requirement. Currently, a licensee is in operation across the street from the proposed Valor Enterprises site. As such, the applicant is requesting a variance from the spacing standard. Variances are reviewed as to whether the property may be put to reasonable use under the terms of the ordinance, or whether there are special conditions existing on the property which result in a hardship in complying with the Ordinance. In this case, it is difficult to make a finding of hardship, since the property may be put to the auto repair use, or any of several other permitted 1 -1 uses, without the variance. Since no proper variance finding can be made, the 500 spacing requirement must apply, and therefore, the motor vehicle sales lot CUP cannot be issued for this site. Staff does not recommend approval of the variance or the CUP due to the lack of variance criteria as noted in this report. This recommendation does not affect the separate outdoor storage CUP reviewed by the Zoning Administrator in her report dated November 30, 1999. cc: Kathy Glanzer Greg Schmidt Terry Maurer Lori Peterson Alan Holm Page 127 LORI PETERSON VALOR ENTERPRISES, INC. 8026 -131st Street Apple Valley, MN 55124 Phone: 651- 603 -8934 or 612- 432 -0286 APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE TO ORDINANCE FOR RETAIL MOTOR VEHICLE LICENSE PROPERTY ADDRESS: 3161 -3167 SPRUCE STREET (CURRENT OCCUPANT: DAN SEBESTA) 1. REFER TO THE FOLLOWING: A. Site plan. B. Photos of existing property. No new construction is planned. 2. STAIEMENT OF INTENDED USE: As stated in our application for the conditional use permit for outdoor storage for this property, Valor Enterprises, Inc. is mainly in the business of repairing cars for resale to other dealers. Approximately 90% of our sales are wholesale transactions conducted through the three local wholesale auctions. The remaining 10% of our sales are retail sales of "salvage" title vehicles that do not have a wholesale market due to the nature of the business. These vehicles provide a healthy addition to our cash flow. They are typically late model, low mileage cars in high demand such as Hondas and Toyotas. The fact that we repair them and warranty the repairs makes them attractive to buyers who find they can purchase upscale cars (newer, lower mileage) from what their budget allows due mainly to the damage history. We retail approximately 1 -2 of these cars per week on average, usually no more than 5 per month. We typically turn our retail salvage titled cars within 60 - 90 days from purchase to sale. Our wholesale inventory turns faster -- usually within 30 days. We are not in the habit of storing cars indefinitely since we have to recoup our investment for future purchases. As stated in the ordinance section 913 for the B -W District, item G, number 7, "Such use is not located within five hundred (500) feet of a residentially zoned property, nor within five hundred (500) feet of a similar use" and number 8, " No more than four (4) licenses may be in force at any one time in the B -2, B -3, B -W, I -1 and I -P Districts in the City, combined." There is a license currently available according to the licensing office. However, one of the licenses currently in force happens to be within the 500 feet limitation of the ordinance as written. As prospective buyers of this property, we would need to have a variance approved to allow us to conduct the few retail sales that we do. We are currently licensed by the State of Minnesota to operate as a used car dealer, permitting us to both wholesale and retail cars. The used car dealer license allows us to purchase and display dealer license plates and in- transit license plates, saving the cost of registration tax on all our cars. It also allows us to avoid paying excise tax. If we are forced to reduce our state license to wholesale only, both of these priviledges would be denied us, thereby raising our cost of operation and restricting unnecessarily our business activities. We understand there may have been some problems in the past with other businesses that made it difficult for the City to enforce minimum standards and that is why this ordinance was Page 128 written. However, we feel that perhaps the ordinance in and of itself does not address those problems that may have occured and that if enforcement were to become an issue, there would be other solutions to any future problems by using the annual review for renewal process that currently exists for licensing. If the City has concerns about increased traffic, we can assuade those fears by explaining our method of selling. For the cars we retail, we place advertisements in the local paper and show cars strictly by appointment. Most people who respond to the ads are not interested once they find out about the salvage history of the cars and never end up coming to our shop. The few that do, come by appointment only since our primary business is the operation of the repairs of the cars we inventory. We do not, nor have we ever, operated a traditional retail sales lot with all the promotional periphenalia and "browsers." There may be a perception in the interpretation of the 500 foot ordinance that it was written to protect existing license holders. We were told in a meeting with the city planner that it was not meant to be "protectionist" for business. It was meant to allow the City more control over this type of business. However, we would address any concern regarding competetion with the other license holder as being unwarranted. We deal in late model, mostly foreign cars for the few retail sales that we make, and mostly late model ('98 or newer) American cars for wholesale. We are not in direct competition as our inventory is completely different, our customer is different in nature and our sales are by appointment only. We do not offer financing, leasing or taking of trade -ins. If this variance were not granted, it would prevent us from putting the property to reasonable use. Granting the variance would not alter the essential character of the area, two of the findings to be considered when granting a variance. If the spirit and intent of the ordinance is to retain control of zoning and compliance, we feel that this is already accomplished through the limitation of the total number of licenses granted and through the annual renewal process. Please evaluate our request on its own merit for our individual needs and intended use. Be assured that we will do our best to address any valid issues the City may have. 4.

The following are additional items that will need to be addressed in your letter: • The parking requirement of eleven (11) parking spaces was calculated based on the building use associated with your business. The current parking configuration for storage /warehouse and office use met the zoning code requirement with the exception of stripping. Stripping would have to be re- established as it has faded beyond recognition. The proposed new occupant use (auto and office) requires thirty (30) parking spaces be established on this property to meet zoning requirements. • The enclosed list may not include all exterior storage items, however, all materials and equipment not associated with the new occupants Conditional Use Permit (CUP) must be removed by June 30, 2000 subject to the approval of the new occupant/owner. • The deadline for removal of all exterior storage items will remain in place as you have indicated on my memo's dated September 14, 1999 & November 30, 1999 whether the property is sold or if you remain the property owner. • Please sign the letter submitted to the City of Little Canada.

Ban- aclough and Carson voted against.

Motion carried 6 — 1. Barraclough voted against. CUP'S & Lori Peterson, Valor Enterprises, appeared before the Commission VARIANCE — requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for open and 3161 -3167 outdoor storage of equipment as an accessory use in the side and SPRUCE rear yard of the property located at 3161 -3167 Spruce Street, as STREET — well as a Variance from distance separation requirements for auto VALOR sales lots and a Conditional Use Permit for an auto sales lot. ENTERPRISES The City Planner reported that the City's ordinance requires a 500 - foot separation between auto sales Tots in the City. The property directly across the street from this site has been issued a retail auto sales license. In addition to separation requirements, the City's ordinance limits retail auto sales licenses to four. Three have been issued. Lori Peterson reported that 90% of their vehicles they own, repair, and sell on a wholesale basis back to dealers through the local auctions. The other 10% they repair and sell to the general public. Therefore, they are requesting the retail sales license. Peterson suggested that the hardship to justify the variance from the distance requirement is that without the retail license, they will suffer a reduction in their business. Peterson pointed out that all retail sales are conducted by appointment only, in response to ads placed in the newspaper. The sales lot is not the typical lot with traffic coming and going. This retail sales activity is a limited portion of their business. Keis asked if the repair operation involved clips of cars. Peterson replied that it did not. They purchase all parts from parts suppliers and would not be storing parts on site. However, as cars are being repaired, parts would be removed, and the vehicles may have to Page 137 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION DECEMBER 9, 1999 wait for a day or two until replacement parts are received. The storage of vehicles would be screened. Keis asked about compliance with the recommendations of the Zoning Administrator for cleaning up the property. Petersen reported that they are agreeable to all the conditions recommended. However, they did have an issue with the 30 required parking spaces, and felt this number was excessive for their needs. The Zoning Administrator pointed out that the recommendation is based on the City's ordinance for an auto - related business, which uses both the use and the size of the building in determining required parking. The applicant has the option of going through the proof -of- parking process as provided by Code. The City Planner reported that parking requirements for auto - related businesses are based on the past experience that the City has had with these types of businesses. The proof -of- parking process could reduce the requirement, while retaining the City's ability to impose full requirements in the future if the need for the additional parking becomes apparent. However, proof -of- parking process requires application for a CUP. Peterson noted that all the parking of their vehicles for sale will occur in the storage area and not in the required parking area. There are currently five employees of the business. Therefore, five spaces would be required for these employees as well as some additional for customers, delivery vehicles, etc. Peterson suggested that the 14 paved parking spaces that already exist on the site would be more than adequate. Kraemer asked about compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner and Zoning Administrator. Lori Peterson reported that some of the issues will be addressed by Valor Enterprises and some will be addressed by Dan Sebesta, who currently has a contract- for -deed on the property. Peterson reported that Mr. Sebesta has already made efforts to clean up the site and is continuing to do so. The Commission decided to first act on the Conditional Use Permit for the open and outdoor storage. Page 138 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION DECEMBER 9, 1999 Kraemer recommended approval on the Conditional Use Permit for open and outdoor storage of equipment as an accessory use in the side and rear yard at 3161 -3167 Spruce Street as requested by Valor Enterprises subject to compliance with the recommendations of the Zoning Administrator as outlined in her report dated November 30, 1999. Motion seconded by Carson. Motion carried 7 — 0. Montour pointed out that the City's ordinance limits retail auto sales licenses to four and asked if property owners had the ability to barter and exchange these licenses. Peterson pointed out that these licenses are not transferable given the application and bonding requirements. The Commission discussed what hardship was present to warrant a variance from the separation requirement between retail auto sales Lots. Peterson pointed out that the City would have control over the business, and should there be a problem with it, the City has the ability to revoke the CUP. Peterson questioned the reason for the 500 -foot separation requirement. The City Planner replied that the City adopted this requirement so that it would not end up with a row of retail auto sales lots. The City also limited the number of licenses to discourage this as well. Keis felt that rather than grant a variance to the separation requirement; it seemed more practical to eliminate the separation requirement. Keis was concerned with the precedent the variance would set, and did not feel there was a hardship present to warrant the variance. Knudsen suggested that the Variance could be granted upon the condition that retail sales does not become the primary component of the business. Keis suggested that such a restriction would be unenforceable. Kraemer suggested that the City could limit retail sales to two cars per week and require that Valor Enterprises submit proof on an annual basis. It was noted that this would be the fourth retail sales license issued; therefore, no additional licenses are available. Page 139 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION DECEMBER 9, 1999 The City Planner indicated that the Commission should have reasons for granting the Variance. Knudsen felt that the 500 -foot separation requirement did not make a lot of sense. The City Planner noted that Ryan Industrial Park is not intended to be a retail site and pointed out that retail traffic would interfere with the industrial traffic in this area. Peterson pointed out that the auto repair businesses in Ryan Industrial Park generate a lot of retail traffic. Mr. Barraclough recommended approval of the Variance from distance separation requirements for auto sales lots based on the fact that the business location is Ryan Industrial Park, that the size of the property is limited, that retail sales is not the primary part of Valor's business, and conditioned that Valor Enterprises be limited to retail sales of 100 vehicles per year, as well as approving the Conditional Use Permit for a retail auto sales license. Motion seconded by Kraemer. Motion carried 4 — 3. Duray, Knudsen, and Keis voted against. AMEND Mr. Keis recommended approval of an amendment to the Zoning PUBLIC Code allowing outdoor storage of wood chips as an interim use in ZONING the Public District subject to the amendment of Item #8 making the DISTRICT City Council the responsible party for determining whether or not the site is a public nuisance.

Hanson Email: cityhall @ci.little - canada.mn.us Planning Report TO: Planning Commission Mayor & Council Members FROM: Elizabeth Mursko, Zoning Administrator DATE: December 2, 1999 RE: Wood Chip Pile Interim Use Clause As previously discussed at the October 27, 1999, Council Meeting, I have drafted an interim use clause within the Public "P" District to allow by permit the specific use of open and outdoor storage of a wood chip pile to a maximum height of fifteen (15) feet. The wood chip pile is considered to be a service to our citizens and City Council and have indicated they would support the continuation of this service to our citizens. The interim use clause stipulates that this area will not be screened from the public right -of -way or residential uses in this area to deter dumping of unwanted materials (creating a public nuisance) as this location is not monitored and /or staffed by city personnel. This use would sunset upon sale of the adjacent Public Works Property to the North of this parcel. My recommendation for the interim use clause is attached. page 142 CITY OF LITTLE CANADA ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 920.035 OF THE LITTLE CANADA ZONING CODE BY ADDING INTERIM USES TO THE PUBLIC DISTRICT. The City Council of the City of Little Canada hereby ordains: Section 1. Section 920.035 is hereby added as follows: 920.035. INTERIM USES. The following are interim uses in the "P" District, subject to the issuance of an Interim Use Permit, per the procedures as listed in Section 921 of this ordinance. A. The establishment of a "Wood Chip Pile" at Country Drive Pin# 06- 29- 22 -11- 0002 -1 as a service to citizens of Little Canada, subject to the following conditions: 1. The use is found to be consistent with existing surrounding uses in the area and with the underlying land use plan for the district in which it is located. 2. The Wood Chip Pile must be the exclusive use of the property subject to the permit, and shall not be mixed with other land uses, whether permitted or conditional as this site will not be fully screened from residential uses or public right -of -way. 3. The use will not be screened from adjacent residential uses or public right -of- way as to deter dumping of unwanted materials in this area along with safety and access to the wood chip pile. 4. The maximum allowable height of the wood chip pile is fifteen (15) feet. 5. This use would sunset upon sale of adjacent Public Works Garage to the north of this property. 6. The wood chip area and associated drives must be surfaced with Class V or other material as determined by City Council. 7. Other conditions or requirements as specified by City Council deemed necessary to keep the site from becoming a nuisance to the public or adjoining property owners. 8. If site becomes a pubic nuisance as determined by the Code Enforcement Officer and/or Public Works Director this use will terminated and restored to a green area. Page 143 Section 2. This ordinance shall take effect and be in full force from and after its passage and publication. Adopted this _ day of , 1999. Al I hST: Joel R. Hanson, City Administrator Michael I. Fahey, Mayor Ayes: Nays: Page 144 MNU'1ES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 27, 1999 CUP FOR CITY GARAGE — 3100 COUNTRY DRIVE Upon motion by Morelan, seconded by LaValle, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Morelan introduced the following ordinance and moved its adoption: ORDINANCE NO. 495 — AMENDING SECTION 903.110.E. OF THE LITTLE CANADA CITY CODE, KNOWN AS THE ZONING ORDINANCE, BY PROVIDING FOR ONE ADDITIONAL WALL SIGN ON CORNER LOTS IN THE B-2, B-3, AND B-4 DISTRICTS The foregoing ordinance was duly seconded by LaValle. Ayes (5) Morelan, LaValle, Scalze, Pedersen, Fahey. Nays (0). Ordinance declared adopted. Fahey opened the continuation of public hearing to consider the Conditional Use Permit for open and outdoor storage of materials as an accessory use at the City Garage located at 3100 Country Drive. The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the CUP. The Public Works Director reported that he has found a steel fabric material that he will install on the gate to the storage area to provided the required screening. He also noted that the wood chip pile is.located on a separate parcel of property. That property is currently zoned I -1 and the proposal is to rezone it to Public The Zoning Administrator reported that in addition to the property on which the City Garage is located, there are two adjacent parcels owned by the City. The City Garage property is zoned Public, while the two other parcels are zoned I -1. These two parcels were acquired by the City for drainage purposes through a tax forfeiture proceeding. Therefore, if the City Garage property were ever sold, this property could not be sold unless the City obtained an unrestricted title for the property. Fahey suggested that if storage of the wood chip pile is allowed under I -1 zoning, then the zoning should be retained as I -1 rather than rezone to Public. It was pointed out that outdoor storage requires a CUP in an I -1 District. The City Administrator indicated that the proposal would be to amend the Public District standards to allow storage of a wood chip pile as an interim use, and then rezone this property to Public. It was noted that the first action item is the Conditional Use Permit for the City Garage to allow open and outdoor storage. page 145 MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 27, 1999 There was no one from the general public present wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by Morelan, seconded by LaValle, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Morelan introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 99 -10 -204 - APPROVING THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR OPEN AND OUTDOOR STORAGE OF MATERIALS AS AN ACCESSORY USE FOR THE CITY GARAGE AT 3100 COUNTRY DRIVE SUBJECT TO COMPLL4NCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by LaValle.

RESOLUTION NO. 99- 10-205 - CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE SECOND COUNCIL MEETING IN NOVEMBER TO CONSIDER AMENDING THE PUBLIC ZONING DISTRICT TO ALLOW THE STORAGE OF WOOD CHIP PILES AS AN INTERIM USE The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by LaValle. Ayes (5) Morelan, LaValle, Pedersen, Scalze, Fahey. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. Morelan asked if there was any other location for the wood chip pile than on City property on Country Drive. The Public Works Director reported that other property owned by the City is park property, and he felt locating a wood chip pile in any of the parks would be an infringement on surrounding neighborhoods. The Director felt the Country Drive Location was ideal. Mrs. Scalze introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 99 -10 -206 -CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING page 146 MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 27, 1999 BOND SALE THE SECOND COUNCIL MEETING IN NOVEMBER AT 7:30 P.3 . TO CONSIDER THE REZONING OF CERTAIN CITY PROPERTY ALONG COUNTRY DRIVE FROM 1-1 TO PUBLIC The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by LaVaile. Ayes (5) Scalze, LaVaile, Pedersen, Morelan, Fahey. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. Rusty Fifield, Ehlers & Associates, reported that the low bidder for 3470,000 G.O. Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund Bonds, Series 1999A was John G. Kinnard & Company at a true interest rate of 5.1344 %. This bond sale will finance the assessable portion of the Arcade Street improvement project as well as the 1999 street improvements. The low bidder for 3790,000 Taxable G.O. Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1999B was Miller, Johnson & Kuehn, Inc. at a true interest rate of 7.7090 %. This interest rate is 20 points higher than what was projected. Fifield reported that the taxable bond market is much weaker and the effects of rising interest rates are seen more clearly. This bond sale is being issued to finance the acquisition of land and related costs for redevelopment within the City's Tax Increment Financing District No. 2 -1. Fifield reviewed the rating review process that Moody's went through to assign the City's bond rating of A2. Fifield reported that this is an excellent bond rating which reflects the City's excellent financial status and strong cash position. Fifield indicated that it will likely take the results of the 2000 Census with regard to per capita income before the City can hope to see its bond rating move to an Al.

Hanson Email: cityhall @ci little - canada.mn.us Planning Report TO: Planning Commission Mayor & Council Members FROM: Elizabeth Mursko, Zoning Administrator DATE: December 2, 1999 RE: Rezone two parcels of City Property to Public "P" There are currently two lots of record held by the City of Little Canada acquired through tax forfeiture for drainage purposes that are currently zoned within the Light Industrial District "1 -1 ". This property could not be sold in the future with the Public Works Garage as the land must be used for it designated purpose given that the property was acquired through a tax forfeiture proceeding and the title is restricted to its intended use. This parcel is surrounded by the following uses: North Public Works Garage / Public Use South Industrial District / Industrial Use East Industrial -Park District / Residential Use West Interstate 35E My recommendation is that we rezone these two land parcels, Pin# 06- 29- 22 -11- 0002 -1 and Pin# 06- 29- 22 -11- 0014 -4, to the Public (P) District designation because they are owned and maintained by the City of Little Canada.

The wood chip pile is provided as a community service to our citizens that would be located on the far south end of the Public District property (Country Drive Pin# 06- 29- 22- 11- 0002 -1) on an old blacktop surface as indicated on the site plan. The applicant has not proposed any screening of the wood chip pile as it would create an environment for dumping of unwanted debris and in addition the wood chip pile can not be adequately screened due to the nature of the pile. Screening is not a requirement in this district for this specific use. Open and outdoor storage as a special use is permitted in the side and rear yards with a special use permit within the Public zoning district provided the following conditions are met: 1.. The use is found to be consistent with existing surrounding uses in the area and with the underlying land use plan for the district in which it is located. 2. The Wood Chip Pile must be the exclusive use of the property subject to the permit, and shall not be mixed with other land uses, whether permitted or conditional as this site will not be fully screened from residential uses or public right -of -way. 3. The use will not be screened from adjacent residential uses or public right -of- way as to deter dumping of unwanted materials in this area along with safety and access to the wood chip pile. 4. The maximum allowable height of the wood chip pile is fifteen (15) feet. 5. This use would sunset upon sale of adjacent Public Works Garage to the north of this property. 6. The wood chip area and associated drives must be surfaced with Class V or other material as determined by City Council. 7. Other conditions or requirements as specified by City Council deemed necessary to keep the site from becoming a nuisance to the public or adjoining property owners. 8. If site becomes a pubic nuisance as determined by the Code Enforcement Officer and /or Public Works Director this use will terminated and restored to a green area. Storage Area Surfacing The wood chip pile storage area will be surfaced with a Class V material (gravel). RECOMMENDATION Based on the information discussed in this report, staff recommends the approval of the proposed special use permit application for the specific use of open and outdoor Page 155 storage of a wood chip pile as indicated on the site plan subject to the following recommendations: 1. The Wood Chip Pile must be the exclusive use of the property subject to the permit, and shall not be mixed with other land uses, whether permitted or conditional as this site will not be fully screened from residential uses or public right -of -way. 2. The wood chip pile as defined in this report and as shown on the site plan must be contained, maintained and arranged in a manner as to appear orderly. 3. The maximum height of the wood chip pile will be fifteen (15) feet. 4. The storage area must be surfaced and maintained with a Class V material. 5. Other conditions or requirements as specified by City Council deemed necessary to keep the site from becoming a nuisance to the public or adjoining property owners. 6.

Knudsen felt that the 500 -foot separation requirement did not make a lot of sense. The City Planner noted that Ryan Industrial Park is not intended to be a retail site and pointed out that retail traffic would interfere with the industrial traffic in this area. Peterson pointed out that the auto repair businesses in Ryan Industrial Park generate a lot of retail traffic. Mr. Barraclough recommended approval of the Variance from distance separation requirements for auto sales Lots based on the fact that the business location is Ryan Industrial Park, that the size of the property is limited, that retail sales is not the primary part of Valor's business, and conditioned that Valor Enterprises be limited to retail sales of 100 vehicles per year, as well as approving the Conditional Use Permit for a retail auto sales license. Motion seconded by Kraemer. Motion carried 4 — 3. Duray, Knudsen, and Keis voted against. Mr. Keis recommended approval of an amendment to the Zoning Code allowing outdoor storage of wood chips as an interim use in the Public District subject to the amendment of Item #8 making the City Council the responsible party for determining whether or not the site is a public nuisance. Motion seconded by Knudsen. Motion carried 7 — 0. REZONING - Mr. Montour recommended approval of the Rezoning of City CITY PROPERTY- property on Country Drive from Light - Industrial (I -1) to Public COUNTRY DR.

Hanson Email: cityhall@ci.little-canada.mn.us MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council FROM: Greg Schroeder, Public Works Director DATE: December 10, 1999 RE: Water Meter Reading Contract As you know, the City of Little Canada has approximately 2000 residential water meters that are read on a quarterly basis. All residential meters are connected to a numerical remote that is located on the outside of the residence. Meters are read by walking from house to house and manually writing (recording) the numbers from the remote onto a page in a meter book. It takes approximately 62 man hours to read all of the residential meters. In the past, we have hired an average of five meter readers to perform this task each quarter. They are usually high school and/or college aged people. However, during this last year, it was extremely difficult to find anyone to do this work. I have contacted nearby colleges, placed notices on our cable channel and in our city newsletter, and have tried to hire our seasonal park staff, but I usually end up having to supplement with full -time personnel. Supplementing is very costly to the city as shown below: Meter reader @ $10/hour for 62 hours $620 Vehicle reimbursement ($2/hour for 62 hours) 124 (If they use their own vehicle, they get an addition $2/hr.) Quarterly total: $744 Total to read to end of year 2000 (5 quarters): $3,720 Full -time Public Works Employee @ $22 /hr. for 62 hours $1,364 (rate is an average and includes benefits) Quarterly total: $1,364 Total to read to end of year 2000 (5 quarters): $6,820 Page 184 Mayor & City Council December 10, 1999 Page 2 In an effort to reduce the frustration of finding meter readers and reduce the cost of reading our meters, we requested proposals from the following companies to read our meters. Their proposed rate to read meters through the end of the year 2000 (5 quarters) is shown: Company Total (5 quarters) St. Paul Water Utility No bid TKDA $6,240 Howard R. Green $6,000 SEH $14,900 U.S. Filter No bid Item 41040 Temporary Employee in the 2000 water budget shows $3,000 for reading water meters for four quarters. Even though there is not sufficient funds in the 2000 budget for this work, it is recommended that the Council authorize staff to execute a contract with Howard R. Green to read water meters for the next five quarters for a total amount of $6,000. GS:kp Page 185 MAYOR Michael I.

Hanson Email: cityhall@ci.little- canada.mn.us MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council FROM: Greg Schroeder, Public Works Director DATE: December 10, 1999 RE: Night Construction on Highway 36 Next summer, MNDOT will be making some improvements to Trunk Highway 36 from Edgerton Street in Little Canada on west to Stillwater. The work will consist of mill and overlay, micro surfacing, median barrier upgrade, guardrail upgrade, some hydraulic improvements, and shoulder improvements to accommodate buses. (See attached MNDOT letter dated November 29, 1999.) This work will impact the adjoining residential properties along Viking Drive, County Road B2, Gilanderi Lane, and Arcade Street. At a November 15, 1999 meeting with MNDOT, it was determined the mill and overlay portion of this project would cause major congestion and increase traffic on local roads within Little Canada. To reduce cost, reduce construction time, and reduce traffic congestion, MNDOT would like to perform only the mill and overlay work at night. The City's Municipal Code Section 2801.040 sets a noise level limit in a residential district at 60 dBA in the daytime (7 a.m. to 10 p.m.) and 50 dBA in the nighttime (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.) as measured at the property line of the source. The Code also states that construction equipment being operated at a construction site shall not exceed a L10 noise level of 85 dBA at a distance of 50 feet. A L10 noise level is a noise level which is exceeded 10% of the time for a one -hour survey. Section 2801.090 sets operational limits on construction activities that exceed the requirements outlined in Section 2801.040 can only occur between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. on weekdays and between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Saturdays. No Sunday work is allowed. Based on the above, MNDOT is requesting a variance from our noise ordinance that would enable them to perform only the mill and overlay work during the night hours. As stated in Section 2801.110, it is recognized that under certain circumstances it would be impossible for a Page 189 Mayor & City Council December 10, 1999 Page 2 noise source to comply with this ordinance due to economic or technological reasons. In this case, an application for exception may be made in writing to the city. I concur that the night mill and overlay work will reduce traffic congestion, construction time, and save MNDOT money. Therefore, I recommend that the City Council direct staff to take the appropriate steps to issue an exception to the noise ordinance for this project.

Little Canada Road r Little Canada, Minnesota 55117 November 29, 1999 Dear Mr. Hanson: 1 1999 The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn /DOT) is planning some improvements to Trunk Highway 36 (TH 36) through your community next summer and is requesting any variances to your local ordinances that may be necessary due to work done at night. The work on TH 36 will consist of mill and overlay, microsurfacing, median barrier upgrade, guardrail upgrade, some hydraulic improvements and shoulder improvements to accommodate buses. Only the mill and overlay work would be done at night. This letter is a follow up to the meeting that you attended on November 15, 1999 where we discussed schedules, traffic control and other details about the project. As with any major project, Mn /DOT attempts to minimize the affect on traffic and local communities. The portion of the project through your community includes some mill and overlay which cannot be done without temporarily closing a lane of traffic. To do this work during the day would cause major congestion and increased traffic on local roads. Therefore, we are proposing to conduct the mill and overlay work during nighttime hours. Trunk Highway 36 would be closed in segments in only one direction at a time with nighttime traffic being directed onto nearby major roadways such as I35E, TH 61 and I694. This would allow the contractor to work with no traffic on TH 36, resulting in reduced cost, reduced construction time and reduced traffic congestion. Only the mill and overlay work would be done during nighttime hours, all other work would be conducted during the day. The mill and overlay process would pass any individual location along TH 36 twice for a duration of one to two nights each time. To put the amount of noise in perspective, the most complaints we receive concern the safety backup bells on the trucks. Any necessary light plants would be directed away from nearby residences. The entire mill and overlay process from 135E to I694 should take less than 45 nights. It was agreed at our November 15 meeting that nighttime work would be the best overall alternative to minimize disruption. We will coordinate the timing of this work with other work your community has scheduled next summer and will attempt to maintain cross street traffic for all traffic except when work is being done in the intersection and maintain access across TH 36 during construction for emergency vehicles. Details such as these will be addressed through our specifications for the project. We are therefore requesting variances from noise ordinances or other approvals necessary from your community to conduct this work at night. Please forward necessary forms to me to receive approval from your city government. Please contact me for any further questions. Michael Herman, Final Design Engineer An E Page 191 MAYOR Michael I.
