MEETING DATE: June 27, 2011 TOPIC: Resolution No. 11 -71: Approving Two Agreements With Eagle Brook Church Required for Parking Lot Expansion • Site Improvement Performance Agreement • Operation and Maintenance Agreement for Stormwater Treatment Features ACTION: 3/5 vote BACKGROUND Eagle Brook Church submitted a site plan application for expanding the parking lot on its site at 7775 20th Ave. The plan includes expanding the existing parking lot on the south side of the existing building. The parking expansion is not a new idea. It was discussed as being needed in the future for additional seating and included in the analysis conducted for an Environmental Assessment Worksheet. Therefore, the expansion will have no unforeseen environmental impacts. The increase in seating, which would require amending the conditional use permit, is not occurring at this time. Nonetheless, to ensure that all issues are covered at the necessary level of detail, the parking expansion was addressed with a site and building plan review. Site and building plan reviews are conducted administratively in accordance with Section 3, Subd. 6 of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff approval, with conditions, was granted on May 20. The conditions include the preparation of two documents. The City requires a site improvement performance agreement when a project requires a site plan review. This agreement ensures that fundamental work on the site is completed by requiring an escrow deposit. A new site improvement performance agreement has been prepared because the original agreement did not include the new parking expansion. In addition, a maintenance agreement for stormwater facilities often is needed on projects that create new stormwater facilities. Poorly functioning stormwater facilities pose flooding and water quality problems for other properties and water bodies. The parking expansion requires some additional stormwater facilities that were not included in the previous stormwater agreement. We have worked with Eagle Brook Church to prepare the two documents. Resolution No. 11 -71 approves both new documents.
