Approval Of The Minutes County Road C Properties Metaltronics MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING PLANNING COMMISSION LITTLE CANADA, MINNESOTA August 5, 1982 The regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Little Canada, Minnesota was held on the 5th day of August, 1982 at 7:30 P.M. at 515 Little Canada Road in said City. The following members of the Planning Commission were present: Tom Ducharme, LeRoy LeMay, Gene DeLonais, Jim Steele, and Roy French. The following were absent: Myers Frattalone, Pete Costa, Sharon Timmons, Joe Vitale. Also present at the meeting were Brad Nielson of Northwest Associated Consultants and Kathleen Glanzer, Recording Secretary. Mr. DeLonais indicated that the minutes of the July 1, 1982 Planning Commission should be amended so that the first sentence in the tenth paragraph states that "lakehomes possibly may have boathouses ". With that correction, Mr. DeLonais moved that the minutes of the July 1 meeting be approved. Motioned was seconded and the motioned carried 5 to 0. Mr. Nielson indicated that there will be someone present at the meeting representing County Road C properties. Mr. Nielson suggested that the Commission withhold action until the party arrives. Mr. Ed Sheehy, the contractor for Metaltronics, appeared before the Commission. Mr. Sheehy reported that the building Metaltronics is proposing would he a pre -cast concrete building. Mr. Sheehy submitted a plan showing landscaping and parking for the building along with exterior elevations. Sheehy commented that the building complies with City Codes in every aspect that was possible. However, they are asking for one variance. That would be that they not be required to pave the hack parking area. Metaltronics is requesting that the area either just be graded or crushed rock or gravel put in. Mr. Sheehy commented that the City's Building Inspector was concerned with emergency access for emergency vehicles going around the building. Sheehy informed the Commission that the building will be fully sprinklered. Mr. Sheehy also commented that Metaltronics does not need all the parking that is shown on the site plan. Also all this parking would not help the run —off situation. Mr. Sheehy commented that the building inspector was concerned that on the southeast corner of the building the loading area was not big enough for semis. There will be no semis on that part of the driveway. Semis will be confined to the other side of the building. Page —1— PLANNING Commission August 5, 1982 Metaltronics (Cont.) Mr. DeLonais stated that Metaltronics could not guarantee that semis would not be on that side of the building. Pir. Chris Block, the owner of Metaltronics, informed the Commission that there would be no semis in the southeast corner of the building. This area is for smaller trucks. Mr. DeLonais asked if the Metaltronics building would have enough parking. The Planner replied that the plan shows more parking than what is required, however, they do not want to pave all the parking. Metaltronics feels that with the number of employees they have all the parking is not necessary. The Planner commented that he has discussed the possibility of a fire lane around the building. The Building Inspector has discussed this with the Fire Chief and because there is no opening on the west side of the building, the Fire Chief does not feel the fire lane would be necessary. However, the Fire Department would like to be able to get to the back corner of the building. The Planner commented that the City's parking requirement is in the Code for a purpose. If Metaltronics moved out of the building and another business moved in, the new business could require more parking than what had been provided for. The Planner suggested that Metaltronics put up a letter of credit that would cover the cost of the additional parking if necessary. Mr. LeMay asked how long the temporary cul -de -sac would remain in the area. The Planner replied that it would remain until the residential property develops. Mr. Block indicated to the Commission that Metaltronics plans on paving the additional parking as the business grows. Mr. DeLonais asked what was to happen with the hill to the west side of the building. Mr. Larry Lee replied that he has topsoil stock- piled that will be put on the west side and graded. Mr. LeMay asked how critical the parking variance would be. The Planner commented that it was not so critical that the City could require the letter of credit previously described. Mr. LeMay was concerned that as time passed, the letter of credit would be forgotten about. Mr. Lee explained to the Commission that a letter of credit would be very expensive for Metaltronics to maintain. Mr. LeMay asked if the parking area had to be blacktop. The Planner replied that that was up to the City Council. Mr. Sheehy described the landscaping that is planned for the Metaltronics building. Page -2- PLANNING COMMISSION August 5, 1982 Metaltronics (Cont.) The Planner asked if Mr. Lee had plans for the installation of a burm between the residential and commercial property. Mr. Lee replied that he had a previous plan approved for this property and it did not call for a burm. The Planner commented that he thought this requirement went back to the rezoning of the property. The Planner was certain that the Council had requested a burro. The Planner stated that he thought the burm was to be installed as part of the industrial development. Mr. Lee replied that he has put a burro in on the south side of the Building C. The Planner replied that he has not seen the landscaping plan for this. The Planner also commented that he was not sure that the Council specifically requested the burro, but that it was talked about. Mr. Ducharme expressed concern that there was not enough room to get a semi in on the north side of the building. Mr. Ducharme also pointed out that there are parking spaces in the area that the semi would be manuevering. Mr. Block agreed that when a semi was in it would take away about 4 parking spaces. Mr. Block pointed out that there is 90 feet of area for semis to move around. Currently in Metaltronics present building the semis have 70 feet of space to work with and they have no problems. Mr. Block also informed the Commission that currently Metaltronics has 18 employees. The Planner stated that if all parking is counted, Metaltronics has provided more parking that what is required. Mr. DeLonais asked Mr. Block if he had any problem with putting crushed rock in the parking area that he did not wish to pave. Mr. Block relied that he had no problem with putting in the crushed rock. Mr. LeMay asked if the crushed rock were installed if a variance would he necessary. The Planner replied that the ordinance says the parking area must he surfaced to control dust. Crushed rock would do that. 'dr.French asked if a variance would be needed for the driveway. The Planner replied that the ordinance says the driveway he is proposing would be allowed if approved by the City Engineer. Mr. DeLonais made a motion approving the Metaltronics plat subject to the recommendations of the City Planner and subject to crushed rock being installed in the parking area not proposed for paving. Motion seconded by Mr. Ducharme. Motion carried 5 - 0. Page -3- PLANNING COMMISSION August 5, 1982 Ordinance Amendments The City Planner indicated that he has received from the City Attorney a list ordinance amendments which would simplify the variance procedure. Variances would go directly to the City Council and rather than property owners having to obtain an abstractor's certificate, mailing lists could be obtained from the City Hall. The Planner stated that the amendments are quite lengthy as there are numerous references in the ordinance. Mr. LeMay commented that he thought it was the intent of the Planning Commission in their discussion of this subject that rather than eliminating the Planning Commission in variances, people could appear before the Planning Commission without having to pay a fee, and then if the Planning Commission feels the variance may be O.K.'d, the formal procedure could be followed. The Planner stated that the idea was to simplify the procedure and lower the cost to the consumer by eliminating the necessity for an abstractor's certificate. Mr. LeMay commented that he does not want to take work away from the Planning Commission, but felt that the Planning Commission could review variance requests at no cost and indicate to the requester whether or not it felt a variance would be approved. Mrs. Nardini commented that it was her understanding from the Planning Commission minutes that the Planning Commission did not want to hear variance requests. Mrs. Scalze stated that it was her understanding that there was a problem with the delay between Planning Commission meetings and City Council meetings. The Planner stated that currently application for a variance must be made and the fee paid before it goes before the Planning Commission. Mr. LeMay asked if the fee were refundable. The Planner replied that part of it is. Mr. LeMay replied that after the Building Inspector and Planner have spent time on the request there would not be much fee left. The Planner commented that the delay for action on a variance request would be much greater with the proposal outlined by Mr. LeMay. Mrs. Nardini commented that the Planner must review variance requests as they relate to City Code. The Planner felt that people could follow the procedure outlined by Mt. LeMay right now. Mrs. Nardini commented that this is not conveyed to people and perhaps the City staff should be informed about it. The Planner pointed out that if the Planning Commission decided to reject a proposal, this does not mean that the requester could not follow through with the procedure. The Planner also pointed out that when people verbally explain what they are requesting it is difficult to imagine. The Commission would have no materials to base their decision on. page -4- PLANNING Commission August 5, 19.82 Variance The Planner also stated that if the Planning Commission gave someone Amendments the indication of approval without information, the Planning Commission (Cont.) could mislead someone. The Planner also stated that delays also cost people money. County Road C Properties The Planner suggested that the Planning Commission waits until it reviewsthe formal draft from the City Attorney. Mrs. Scalze commented that she felt the Planning Commission should review variance requests. Mr. LeMay agreed, but did not think all the filing fees were necessary. The Planner informed the Commission that the next item in the the agenda deals with the Stenger property located on County Road C and Park Avenue. Several years ago Mr. Stenger got approval to build two office buildings. In 1977 one of the buildings was sold on a contract for deed along with a certain amount of the land. This left an L- shaped piece of property. Then in 1978 Mr. Stenger requested and received approval for a conditional use permit for construction of two mini - storage buildings. At the time a site plan showed the buildings to be located on a lot 100 feet wide. This is not the case. The Planner showed the Commission an outline of the layout of the property Mr. Stenger is trying to achieve. Mr. Stenger is requesting a property division of the property on which sits the remaining office building and the mini - storage buildings. The Planner pointed out that there are two problems. There is a problem with the survey submitted as the legal description splits the property on which the mini - storage buildings sit in half. Mr. Stenger has indicated that he will correct this so that the mini- storage buildings will be sitting on one piece of property. The second problem is that when Mr. Stenger sold the first office building he intended to split the property in such a way as he would have 100 feet of frontage for the mini - storage buildings. Mr. Stenger was assuming that all of Hanna Street, which the City vacated, went to him. He assumed this as the property originally came from his property. However, when the street was vacated Hanna was split between the adjacent properties. As a result Mr. Stenger only has 85 feet of road frontage for the mini- storage buildings. City Code requires 100 feet. The Planner stated that he would rather see the variance granted than to leave all the buildings in question on one piece of property. The Planner also informed the Commission that Mr. Stenger indicated to him that he has tried to acquire the additional 15 feet of property, but cannot do so. Page -5- PLANNING COMMISSION August 5, 1982 Stenger Property (Cont.) The Planner informed the Commission that the problem came about because in the past the City did not require surveys. When Mr. Stenger finally had a survey done he found out that he did not get all of. Hanna Street. Mr. Ducharme asked the principles involved in the North Investment Group who are the owners of this property. The Planner replied that along with Mr. Stenger he believes Keith Harsted and Ray Mc Culip are principles. Mr. LeMay asked what happens if the variance is not granted. The Planner replied that the property could not be split. Mr. Stenger would have to continue to try to obtain additional land. The Planner stated that he did not think '.ir. Stenger could obtain the additional 15 feet from the Frattalone property as the building is too close to the property line for this to be done. The Planner commented that he can understand Mr. Stenger's assuming that he would receive Hanna Street. Mrs. Nardini pointed out that the mini — storage buildings have a drive between the two buildings and there is not a turn — around. The Planner stated that the garage doors face the center and this is what was approved by the City. The Planner stated that there is about 25 feet between the buildings. Mr. French asked if the property had access other than Park Street. The Planner replied that there is an easement on the other end of the property which leads to County Road C. Mr. LeMay asked if the easement was shown on the abstract for the property. The Planner commented that it was a good access and also the access for the Frattalone property. Mrs. Nardini commented that when Mr. Frattalone moves his business, there may be a different use for this access. The Planner suggested that perhaps the City Attorney should check out this easement. Mr. LeMay stated that he did not see that there was a hardship pertaining to this variance request. The Planner replied that currently the three buildings are non — conforming, as there are three buildings on one piece of property. By splicing the property that non — conformity would be eliminated and the City would have the non — conformity of the variance. Mr. DeLonais moved that the variance be granted as requested provided that the storage buildings are located in one legal description. lotion seconded by Mr. Ducharme. Motion carried 4 — 1. Mr. LeMay voted against. Page -6- PLANNING COMMISSION August 5, 1982 Sale Of Certain City Property Adjourn The Planner explained to the Commission that the City currently owns a lot on Demont and Ruth Street. This property was used as a ponding area at one time, but has been filled in. The City is currently considering selling some property. Mrs. Scalze explained that the Council is considering this in order to finance the purchase of property for senior citizen housing. Mrs. Scalze pointed out to the Commission that the City owns a lot on Demont and Morrison that is 74 feet wide. If the City were to sell this property it would require a variance. Mr. LeMay moved indication of the Planning Commission's support of the sale of City property in order to finance the purchase of property for seniorcitizen housing. Motion seconded by Mr. Steele. Motion carried 5 - 0. Mr. DeLonais moved the meeting adjourned. Motion seconded by Mr. LeMay. Motion carried 5 - 0. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:35 P.M.

MEMORANDUM T0: Little Canada Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council FROM: Brad Nielsen DATE: 2 August 1982 RE: Metaltronics - Proposed Site Plan and Variance Request FILE NO.: 758.09 (82.18) BACKGROUND EDS Construction Company has submitted plans for construction of an industrial building to be located on the west side of Yorkton Industrial Boulevard (see Site Location Map attached as Exhibit A). The proposed building measures 200' by 200' and contains 40,000 square feet of area which will be used by Metaltronics for their offices, warehouse and plant. The property in question measures 395' by 400' and contains approximately 156,368 square feet of area. ISSUES AND ANALYSIS Based upon our review of the Little Canada Zoning Ordinance, the applicant's site plan and past approvals for the Yorkton Industrial Park, the following issues are raised: 1 Proposed Variance. With two exceptions the proposed site plan (see Exhibit B, attached) conforms to the requirements of the Little Canada Zoning Ordinance. First, the applicant has requested a variance to the number of parking spaces required by the Ordinance. Although the correct number of spaces has been shown on the site plan, the applicant has asked that he be able to pave only the area shown as shaded. While we initially saw no problem with this request, the Building Official has indicated that a fire lane is necessary around the building to allow access for emergency vehicles. That being the case, it would seem that paving the remaining parking area at the same time would be appropriate. The access drives have been shown as 30' in width while the Ordinance limits driveways to 24 feet. The Ordinance does provide an exception to this requirement based upon approval by the City Engineer. Since it will be necessary for semi-trucks to enter and access the site the 30 foot drives may be reasonable. 4820 minnetonka boulevard, suite 420 minneapolis, mn 55416 612/925 -9420 12 Little Canada Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council 2 August 1982 Also in terms of semi- trucks, the loading areas appear to be quite small, particularly the one at the southeast corner of the building. It appears that if one of the loading spaces were occupied, a second truck could only back in from the street, which is specifically prohibited by the Ordinance. It is therefore recommended that the City Engineer review and comment as to the acceptability of the loading space provided. If necessary, the loading area should be increased in size to eliminate the need for maneuvering trucks from the street. 2. Subdivision. As you may recall, the City previously approved a subdivision for the property in question in which four lots were requested (see our staff report, Yorkton Industrial Park - Tracts E, F, G and H, dated 25 March 1981). Prior to having that division recorded, the developer (Larry Lee) decided to combine two of those lots for sale to Metaltronics. While this is not considered a problem in itself, the new subdivision should be recorded with the Country prior to issuance of a building permit by the City. When the previous subdivision was approved, it was recommended that the small triangle of land south of Buck Blacktop should be legally combined with the Buck property so as not to leave a landlocked parcel of land. While Mr. Lee has informed us that the property has been conveyed, it should be demonstrated that the triangle has been legally combined with the Buck property. 3. Yorkton Industrial Boulevard. As previously recommended, the street should be finished and terminated in a cul -de -sac. Since the street will ultimately be extended, a temporary cul -de -sac could be acceptable. 4. Landscaping. The south end of the property is the dividing line between the I -1 and R -1 zoning districts. As mentioned in our 25 March 1981 staff report, landscaping should be provided between the districts. It was our understanding that this was to occur prior to further development. 5. Site Gradin .a. A steep bank currently exists near the western edge of the site. Mr. Lee has informed us that this will be graded so as to blend the site with the property south of Buck Blacktop. The City Engineer should review and comment as to proposed site grading as well as drainage. 1.. 3 Little Canada Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council 2 August 1982 RECOMMENDATION While the site plan itself conforms to the requirements of the Zoning Ordin- ance, several questions related to the overall development of the industrial park appear to remain unresolved. Assuming the items mentioned in the preceding analysis are addressed to the satisfaction of the City, it is recommended that the Metaltronics site plan be approved subject to review and comment by the City Attorney and City Engineer. In view of the comments by the Building Official regarding fire access to the rear of the building, it is suggested that the variance for parking not be approved. cc: Joe Chlebeck Don Carley Tom Sweeney Ed Locke Ed Sheehy - EDS Construction Co. g 5 to Yorkton Court g k ThilblittEm I eel a Exhibit B [ToPoscp SITE PANI 4. 0. 45 rto t-soin 1 f; CITY OF LITTLE CANADA RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA Office of: JOSEPH G.

Box 2128 St. Paul, Minnesota 55109 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: August 16, 1982 Mr. Donald 0. Carley, P.E. Vice President Milner W. Carley & Associates, Inc. 500 West Highway 96 St. Paul, Minnesota 55112 Mr. Bruce A. Folz Bruce A. Folz & Associates 14791 - 60th Street North Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 I wish to thank all of you very much for your patience, your attention and your evident concern over my problem as discussed at your last Wednesday night meeting. The only thing you could have arranged better were the heat and the humidity. I was most pleased at the suggestion that we might use the quota for the excavation at the new bridge into Kohlman Lake. You also suggested that if this did not work out, there might be other similar situations available now or later. It made me realize that you were interested in my problem and would help work it out. If we all work together, I am sure we can satisfy all parties concerned, and I had the feeling you would do just that. I feel that I have contributed so much to the entire area that my small request was not too much to ask. Of course, it is difficult for me to see why the circumstances do not warrant an exception. In my experience in community work there were always excep- tions being made and machinery was available to make these exceptions. We only had to have good solid reasons for them. Surely, if you will read my recent letter (which I have just noticed is not dated), you will be able to arrive at solid facts that warrant an exception in my case. However, we left the meeting with such a comforting feeling that you would seriously work with us to accomplish the end result that I do not think I need say more. Thank you again. Sincerely, a "z -c 6 . vw8'w`�RS Jasper C. Hammond JCH:lmh / dnutcs cf August 4, 1"82 Page Three 'The County has been sending a financial report, and Mr4.Aichinger Esparta / has been sending copies to the Managers so that they can see how j that is going. There will be a governing committee meeting on Monday August (' at 4:30 p.m. Tim Sullivan, attorney for Mr. Hammond, as well as Mr. Hammond Hammond- and Bruce Folz, spoke of the problems with the permit. Mr. Reid Hammond bought 5.35 acres many years ago. One acre was sold Permit 135 son, Tom Reid. Under the advice of the DrR and other officials at the time, his plans were thought to be of benefit to the community with the lagoon. Plans were for the area to be a "family compound" and he has spent a lot of money to do this. He has always asked the authorities prior to acting. Now the land seems to be worthless unless he can complete the work as originally planned years earlier. Mgr. Drake said when we deal with an application, we do it directly with the applicant rather than through the city, and that we have had a hard time. dealing with Carley and getting a straight answer if we can get `an answer at all. We have had trouble getting numbers from the City Engineer as to the amount of fill taken out as specified in Mr. Hammond's permit. Originally,' a fill permit was granted for filling the 5.35 acres, excavating the lagoon (which was Mr. Hammond's idea). Mr. Klein said the amount excavated was not what was shown in the plans or the ditch would have been more defined and :filled with water. We need engineering type of information. Mgr. Drake said Permit 'x'135 is still in violation because we still have not received the figures. We need to verify the amounts. Mr. Aichinger said the responsibility for the permit is Hammonds. The city has to supply information to show what they did. Mr. Hammond should bug the city to get us this information, or supply the information through an engineer. Mr. Folz said this would cost Mr. Hammond a lot of money. Mr. Sullivan said the permit was from 30 years ago and they have been responding to us the best they can, and at this time perhaps the money should be spent in court. He ques=tioned whether the yardage has that much of an impact, and there are other features to be looked at. He advocated calling it quits because of the cost. Mgr. Wallgren said we have a respon- sibility to see that the permit is complied with. Mr. Sullivan said others have filled without bothering to get a permit, and the watershed does not have a floodplain ordinance so it would be a matter for the courts. Mr. Hammond said the original permit was with the DNR, and they had a verbal permit from the city, all given years ago. Mgr. Drake said he would talk to the city and also Mr. Folz should talk to them, and maybe we could get some information from them. At this point we do not have any information to know if the permit is or is not in violation. Mgr. Drake will contact them in behalf of the Board. Mr. Folz said all other agencies waived permits and we are the only ones requiring one. It was asked what would happen to the "mud flats ", and Mr. Hammond has asked the city to rectify it as he is getting complaints from his neighbors. The calls to the city will be before the council meeting Augu td 12. Mr. Klein andhar.bFonztwill go ut to the site and give a good the new proposal, the initial application was for the Hammondl filling of 2 lots, one of which (the one on the west of the ditch) was denied. Mgr. Drake said he had read the Little Canada minutes recently, and they seem to reflect a moratorium :32 nutcs of August 4, 1:t2 Fagc Four "^on building by thc la`keshcr< at their last meeting, so perhaps Hammonds should seek ouiithe city ,first. Mr. Hammond does plan // to make an application soon for filling the two lots. Pres. Lakc said we would probably require no net fill within the floodplain. It•was noted there arc other projects in the area that might offer compensating filling within the same watershed on the same lake. Nr. Aichinger said we might be able to work out a joint application with Little Canada. At the McDonald's project off Century by Minnehaha, we originally McDonald's required a certain number of acre feet of storm water storage. They are now not putting, in as large a permanent pool as the original plans, but this does of affect the storage capacity. The pool was to be for aesthetics. • Mgr. Wallgren asked about the Pilatech non — compliance. Mr. Pilatcch Marshall checked, and we cannot go ahead and make improvements Permit 172 and assess it back to the property. We can ask the court to order restoration. ICgr. Drake said Mr. Klein should check the property to see ff we should pursue this. Pres. Lake said WE should look at it ‘p see if it is justifiable and then have Mr. Marshall draw up' papers to put it through the court, recognizing we may fail. Mulching has not been done, and there is mostly wind erosion. Pres. Lake moved that the Board authorize the staff to seek •Motion legal action to compel compliance or erosion control on Permit #172. Mgr. Iverson seconded the motion. Motion passed. There is apparently non—compliance on sections 2 -4 -8 on the Afton Hills project, permit #180. Mr. Klein cannot reach the owner'and said we should seek a temporary restraining order. Pres. Lake moved the Board authorize Mr. Marshall to seek to Motion compel compliance by legal action against the developer of the Afton Hills project, permit #180. Mgr. Wallgren seconded the motion. Motion passed. Mr. Narshall received an order from the Water Resources Board Appeals dismissing the I''.nDot and Hartman appeals. The District Court granted what we requested on the Dieterich appeal in that they did not post bond. We arc in good shape on the other appeals. The 3 District Court appeals have not had a date set yet for trail. All the easements are on hand and recorded except for Wayzata Bay Company which will be recorded shortly, and Al Porter as he needs a document. Easements will not be accepted unless we have an owners certificate, and !Cr. Porter cannot find his certificate. We can petition the District Court to allow the recording, or p€tition the District Court for a new certificate. The certificate would then be turned over to Mr. Porter. The Tanagers felt we should ask rr. Porter to help pay for this. Mgr. Wallgren moved the Board direct Mr. Marshall to proceed to Motion procure a new owners duplicate on the Porter property. Mgr. Drake seconded the motion. Motion passed. Regarding thc sales tax on materials purchased by Centennial, the District did not procure them, and the contractor is not tax exempt. This needs further legal study, as the contractor is an agent of the "istrict.
