Motion carried 6 -0. V. ACTION ITEMS A. PUBLIC HEARING to rezone property from SC, Shopping Center to GB, General Business, NE quadrant of 35W and Lake Drive Chair Rafferty opened the public hearing at 6:38 p.m. DRAFT MINUTES Planning & Zoning Board June 8, 2005 Page 2 Staff stated in February, 2003 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 08 -03, establishing an updated zoning ordinance text and zoning map for the City of Lino Lakes. As part of the updated two business districts, the CB, Central Business district, and SC, Shopping Center District were eliminated. All uses previously allowed within these districts were provided for in the GB, General Business District. Therefore, it was intended to rezone all CB and SC Districts to GB, Section 7, Subdivision 4 of the ordinance specifically addressed this change with regard to the CB district, however the SC District was erroneously omitted. He requested the Board correct this error and recommended amendment of Section 7, Subdivision 4 and 5 of Ordinance 08 -03. Chair Rafferty invited anyone for or against this request to make comment. There were no comments made. Mr. Laden made a MOTION to close the public hearing at 6:41 p.m. and was supported by Mr. Root. Motion carried 6 -0. Mr. Laden made a MOTION to recommend approval of amendment of Section 7, Subdivision 4 and 5 of Ordinance 08 -03 and was supported by Mr. Pogalz. Motion carried 6 -0. B. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING for an Amendment to Planned Unit Development, Marketplace Third Addition, located at the NE corner of Lake Drive and Apollo Drive Chair Rafferty reopened the public hearing at 6:42 p.m. Staff stated applicant was proposing to amend the existing Planned Unit Development (Planned Development Overlay) for the Marketplace to amend the building layout and types of buildings used on the site. Originally, the site was approved for five multi - tenant buildings. The applicant is now proposing to have three multi- tenant buildings with two single user buildings along Apollo Drive. He noted this was a change from the request that was previously heard by the Board. This change was brought about due to the comments made by staff and the Board at the May, 2005 regular meeting. The applicant attempted to redesign the site to hold one back -to -back type multi- tenant building, but the circulation and parking would be significantly diminished; and a great deal of utility relocation would need to be undertaken; so staff directed the applicant to abandon the concept. The applicant has settled on a design that is significantly conforming to the original layout of the site. At this point, the only real issues under review are the elevations of the DRAFT MINUTES • • Planning & Zoning Board June 8, 2005 Page 3 le multi- tenant buildings and the designation of the lots adjacent to Apollo Drive as single - user buildings instead of multi - tenant buildings. • Staff presented their analysis and recommended approval subject to the following conditions: 1. The architectural design standards approved as a part of this application must be supplied to each incoming tenant upon signature of a lease. 2. The development agreement must be executed between the developer and the city prior to the issuance of building permits for the site. 3. All lighting fixtures used on the site must be in conformance with the design standards. 4. The trash enclosure must be large enough to house both trash receptacles and recycling receptacles. 5. The trash enclosures must be constructed with the same materials as the proposed building. 6. The decorative lighting for this site and all other developed sites within the Marketplace must be installed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any buildings on this site. 7. The cornice for the building must be constructed of EIFS, and metal should only be used as flashing to prevent damage of the cornice materials. Mr. Laden inquired how they would gain access to the trash receptacles if there were no sidewalks proposed. Mr. Bengtson replied they would need to address this. Mr. Tralle asked how wide the road was between the Kohl's parking lot and the back of buildings C, D, and E. Mr. Bengtson replied he was not sure, but it was one lane in each direction. Mr. Root asked what would happen if one of the businesses going into this development, generated more traffic and should there be pedestrian access across the parking lot from Kohl's. Mr. Bengtson replied the previous layout that was approved did not have that type of a connection from the Kohl's parking lot, the previous approved plan also had a larger retail area and to require an overflow parking area, staff did not want to impose that on the applicant. Mr. Root stated the concept of a Marketplace was that you walked store to store and in the spirit of that, there should be a way for pedestrians to do that without having pedestrians walk all of the way around. Mr. Bengtson replied as staff they could only enforce the ordinance and the zoning ordinance did not support this type of a request, but the Board could add this as a condition if they chose. DRAFT MINUTES Planning & Zoning Board June 8, 2005 Page 4 Mr. Grochala stated one of the issues was that Kohl's owned their property, so Ryan did not have the ability to put in a sidewalk in as well as there are maintenance agreements on the property as to the restrictions on Kohl's parking use. Mr. Root stated he liked this plan, but he still wanted pedestrian access. Mr. Laden asked if they could stripe the road, instead of putting in sidewalks. Mr. Grochala stated if they were going to make an official crossing, this would affect the curb -cut, but it would possibly be feasible to adding a sidewalk to the road from Building D. Mr. Root stated he liked the way the landscape was laid out except for the east side of Building C and D. He asked if the landscaping could be improved in that area. Mr. Laden stated he liked the buildings, but the rear was so close to the road and he did not believe there was a lot of opportunity to add landscaping, he suggested they upgrade the rear of the building area with brick, instead of concrete block. Mr. Bengtson responded what was now being proposed was an improvement over what was previously approved on the site, but the Board has the discretion to make this recommendation. Mr. Pogalz stated he did not personally see anything wrong with the elevations and they were breaking this up quite a bit in the back with the doors and the different colors. Chair Rafferty invited applicant to make comment. Steve Broyer, Ryan Companies representative, stated with respect to the sidewalk, he agreed with their discussions, but there was an agreement with Kohl's to not have a sidewalk connection and the property had been sold to Kohl's. However, with respect to the sidewalk to the trash containers, he agreed sidewalks should be added, as well as the sidewalks being proposed by Mr. Root and Ryan Companies would investigate this request. He stated the elevations did not represent what was exactly was going in, but staff had been given the information. He stated the rear exits to the building were for emergency exits only with a concrete stoop. He indicated they would be adding landscaping there also. Mr. Tralle asked if the deliveries would be made to the front of the buildings. Mr. Broyer replied that was correct. Chair Rafferty asked as a recommendation that they bump out the ends of the two buildings by 3.5 feet on both ends to accent the corners. Mr. Broyer replied that was a good suggestion and that was something they would explore. Chair Rafferty suggested they stay with the indentations in the back. Mr. Broyer replied that would not change. Chair Rafferty asked them to add lighting to the middle of the buildings also and consider matching the adjacent brick with the brackets, but not have painted brackets. He suggested they have these as wrapped plastic or wrapped metal to make them maintenance free. DRAFT MINUTES • • • • Planning & Zoning Board June 8, 2005 Page 5 Mr. Pogalz stated he agreed with Chair Rafferty. He suggested they put lights in the back corners also. He stated he liked the elevations and believed this was going to be a nice looking project. He asked how the trash enclosures would work. He asked if there would be a paved surface to pull the dumpsters down the road. Mr. Broyer responded they would have a paved area up to the sidewalk so tenants would wheel the trash out to the dumpsters. Chair Rafferty stated they needed to have doors on the trash enclosure and suggested they use a material that could withstand "punishment" and was maintenance free. Mr. Broyer agreed with this suggestion. Mr. Tralle stated he liked the buildings and he commended them for their work on this. Mr. Nelson agreed with Mr. Tralle's statement. Chair Rafferty agreed the backside should probably have additional landscaping. Chair Rafferty asked if they were willing to irrigate all sodded areas as well as the landscaping. Chair Rafferty invited anyone for or against this proposal to make comment. Mr. Nelson made a MOTION to close the public hearing at 7:36 p.m. and was supported by Mr. Hyden. Motion carried 6 -0. Mr. Pogalz stated they needed to get in written form the additional items discussed tonight with respect to the conditions of approval and denial. Chair Rafferty made the following recommendations: 8. Irrigation to include all sodding and planted areas. 9. Indentation of the rear elevations consistent with the floor plan. 10. Bump out both corner pieces in the same fashion as they bumped out the front elevations. 11. Maintenance free door enclosure on the trash enclosures, if possible, with complete review of trash enclosures by staff. 12. Sidewalk extensions between buildings C and D east to west. 13. Painted crosswalks where sidewalks are divided by the parking lot. Mr. Hyden requested staff look at the location of the trash enclosure and how the garbage haulers would get to the dumpsters. Chair Rafferty suggested the applicant also consider adding additional landscaping to the rear of the buildings. Mr. Nelson made a MOTION to recommend approval of an Amendment to Planned Unit Development, Marketplace Third Addition, located at the NE corner of Lake Drive and DRAFT MINUTES Planning & Zoning Board June 8, 2005 Page 6 Apollo Drive, subject to the conditions as noted in staff's June 8, 2005 report and including conditions 8 -13 added by the Board and was supported by Mr. Tralle. Motion carried 6 -0. VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Sign Ordinance Text Amendment Request Staff stated the Community Development Director received an application for a Zoning Text Amendment to allow additional wall signage. This application did not include proposed text, and was therefore determined to be an incomplete application at this time. However, staff has discussed the proposal to allow additional wall signage and has determined that it would potentially support some amendments to the current allowances in certain situations. Therefore, staff is willing to work on drafting some text changes to encompass the purpose intended by the submitted application, with the direction of the Planning and Zoning Board. Staff is seeking the direction of the Planning and Zoning Board in regards to the following: - Should corner lots be allowed to have additional signage to address both street frontages? - Should double fronted lots be allowed to have additional signage to address both street frontages? - Should multi- tenant buildings be allowed to have additional signage when located on a corner or double fronted lot? He noted staff would also look to eliminate the SC (Shopping Center) reference within the sign code as well as a couple of other non - substantive errors that exist in the current text. Mr. Laden asked if this would include all businesses in the City, including PUDs. Mr. Bengtson replied it would not include PUD's and those businesses would need to specifically request a separate review. Mr. Laden stated he believed all businesses should be allowed to have signage on both street frontages. Mr. Hyden agreed. The Board agreed it was appropriate to all double fronted lots to have additional signage to address both street frontages. The Board agreed with respect to multi -tenant buildings tenants are only allowed to advertise on their own leased space. B. AUAR Update DRAFT MINUTES or • • • Planning & Zoning Board June 8, 2005 Page 7 Staff updated the Board on the AUAR. C. Temporary Signs Staff stated the P &Z has made some decisions and given direction for drafting ordinance changes for several types of temporary signage, including banners, portable signs, window signs, pennants, and other miscellaneous temporary signs. Real estate signs are another aspect to the discussion on temporary signage. Last month's package included parts of ordinances from several cities showing how they regulate signs for the sale and development of real estate. Staff presented their analysis. Mr. Laden expressed concern about the wording on the signs and free speech and he requested staff look into this. Mr. Smyser replied he would talk to the City Attorney about this. Mr. Pogalz asked if there was a time limit for the signs. Mr. Smyser suggested the signs be removed after the last unit was sold. D. VFW Chair Rafferty asked for an update on the VFW issues brought up at the last meeting. Mr. Grochala stated they have had a discussion with the City Council regarding this, as well as contact with the neighborhood residents. He stated they had a temporary certificate of occupancy, which was up June 15 at which time they were suppose to have completed the entire site, including the parking lot and dumpster site. He stated they were going to talk to them about additional screening to block the helicopter. He stated there were a number of building inspection issues that needed to be resolved and they were going to send a letter to the VFW tomorrow instructing them to complete the project in 15 days or the City would shut them down. He noted they had a change of leadership at the VFW and this new Commander was attempting to get up to speed. He indicated this would be an ongoing situation on this and it might reach the point that they would need to cash in a security and draw on the letter of credit. With respect to the mechanical stuff, it met the setback requirements and they could not do much about it, but they would request additional screening. Mr. Tralle stated he did not want to give the VFW any leeway on this. Mr. Grochala stated he would be working with the City Attorney on this, but they still needed to have a discussion with the VFW to hear their side of the story. Mr. Tralle stated there was a lot of debris on site also, including beer bottles, and requested the VFW be informed that bottles are not to leave the inside of the building. Chair Rafferty noted this was a nice looking building, but the VFW needed to complete the project. DRAFT MINUTES Planning & Zoning Board June 8, 2005 Page 8 VII.

STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson P & Z MEETING DATE: July 13, 2005 TOPIC: BACKGROUND Rezoning to R -1 (Single Family Residential) Allocation of MUSA Preliminary Plat Cavegn Estates Anthony and Kimberly Cavegn have requested approval of a single - family residential development entitled Cavegn Estates. The subject property is located adjacent to the southeast corner of Lois Lane and Country Lane and is currently developed with one single - family dwelling. The applicant is proposing to divide the 1.38 acre lot into two buildable lots of 23,560 square feet and 36,564 square feet. The existing single - family dwelling will remain on the smaller lot, and the larger lot will be used for new construction. ANALYSIS The following is a summary of the proposal: Site Area 60,124 square feet Upland Area 60,124 square feet Total Buildable Lots 2 Density 1.5 units per acre Comprehensive Plan, Land Use and Zoning: The table below identifies the existing land use and zoning as well as guided land uses for the area. Location Existing Land Use Guided Land Use Existing Zoning Site Single Family Dwelling Low Density, Sewered Residential R North Single Family Dwellings Low Density, Sewered Residential R -1 South Single Family Dwellings Low Density, Unsewered Residential R East Single Family Dwelling Low Density, Sewered Residential R -1 (PDO) West Single Family Dwelling Low Density, Sewered Residential R -1X • • Cavegn Estates Page 2 Growth Management Growth Management, Units/Year: As seen in the table at the end of this report, 165 lots have been approved for year 2005. The recent ordinance amendment to the growth management policy has eliminated the City Council's ability to allow 20% more discretionary lots over the 147 -lot maximum per year in the future. Therefore this proposal is eligible for 2006 lots. MUSA Reserve: The comprehensive plan and the growth management policy establish a specific number of MUSA acres for residential growth for stage one (prior to year 2010). MUSA for all of the properties along Lois Lane in the Mar Don Estates Subdivision was obtained as a part of the Hailey Manor project. At that time it was set up that the MUSA would be allocated as part of the rezoning or platting of each property as they developed. Preliminary Plat Lots: The minimum lot size in the R -1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district is 10,800 square feet of upland. The two lots being created by the proposed plat will consist of 23,560 square feet and 36,564 square feet respectively. Lot 1 is sufficient in size to meet the minimum setback requirements for the existing single- family dwelling. Streets: No new streets are needed or proposed as a part of the proposed preliminary plat. A new driveway from Lois Lane will be needed for Lot 2, which is required to be a minimum of five feet from a side property line. No additional right -of -way is necessary on either Lois or Country Lane. The cul -de -sac on the north east corner of the property, which is no longer necessary, is proposed to be vacated. Additionally, a portion of the drainage and utility easement which was granted when this lot was created as part of Mar Don Acres will also need to be vacated. Specifically, that portion of the easement that surrounds the existing cul -de -sac bulb. These will be included with the project when it is heard by the City Council. Wetlands: The subject site does not have any existing wetlands. Park / Open Space: The proposal does not include any land dedication for parkland, only a cash dedication will be required. Park dedication fees will be calculated as required by city policy. Utilities: Adequate municipal services exist within the Lois Lane right -of -way, and both properties will be required to connect to municipal services. Grading and Drainage: Easements are required adjacent to property lines (5 feet side -yard and 10 feet front and rear - yards). This will need to be properly depicted on the final plat. The City Engineer has completed a thorough review of the submitted plans, and his memorandum is attached at the end of this report. The applicant will be required to satisfy all of those comments prior to recordation. • • • Cavegn Estates Page 3 OPTIONS. a. Approve the Rezoning, MUSA Allocation, Street Vacation, and Preliminary Plat subject to conditions. b. Deny the Rezoning, MUSA Allocation, Street Vacation, and Preliminary Plat. c. Return to staff with direction. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions: 1. Both lots shall connect to city sanitary sewer and water, assessments for both lots will be recorded with the final plat. 2. Issues discussed in the City Engineer review memo must be addressed to his satisfaction. 3. Park dedication shall be paid in accordance with city policies.

B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: July 13, 2005 TOPIC: PUBLIC HEARING: Sign Ordinance Amendments BACKGROUND Signage is always an extremely difficult issue. As with any regulation, there will be those who will not agree with a signage requirement. The goal of signage regulation, like any government regulation, is to balance the private interest and the larger public interest. Signage advertises a business, which is good for the business. Successful business is good for the greater public. However, unregulated signage can become an eyesore and a nuisance, which detracts from the good of the community. The P & Z has been discussing temporary signage for several years. These discussions led to the proposed amendments in the attached draft ordinance. When the P & Z is satisfied with the proposed amendments, the Board's recommendations will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration. The City Council is the only body that can adopt or amend ordinances. The current sign ordinance is Ord. No. 12 -97. Once adopted by the City Council, the new version will replace that ordinance. Deleted text is shown as strikeout, added text is underlined. ANALYSIS The primary changes in the draft ordinance relate to temporary signage. These amendments were recommended by the P & Z. Sometimes, a change to one requirement required comparing to other pieces and checking definitions. This may have revealed confusing or contradictory language. There are a few changes in the text to help clarify some issues. While all of these may not have been specifically recommended by the P & Z, they were important either because they relate to temporary signage or were confusing. We also have increased the amount of permanent wall signage allowed on double frontage or corner lots. The hope is that this will reduce the demand for temporary signs. Some of the permanent signage requirements are inconsistent or incomplete in the current ordinance. We added requirements to address these discrepancies. 4i • • • Sign Ordinance Amendments page 2 Formatting: A major change is the formatting of the ordinance. The current ordinance is organized by zoning district, with regulations listed under each district, and other requirements in a "general" section. This results in a very lengthy ordinance. It is difficult to find relevant regulations. In the new draft, temporary signage is addressed in a completely new table instead of individual requirements scattered in different places. In addition, we have moved the regulations for permanent signs into a table to make it easier to locate the requirements in each district. Prohibited If Not Included: One very important amendment is that any signs not specifically allowed by the ordinance are prohibited. That is, only if the ordinance does not specifically allow a typed of sign, that type of sign is prohibited. This is how the draft addresses the "miscellaneous" temporary signs that are so difficult to define. They are not banners, portable signs, balloons, construction signs, or real estate signs. They are not permanent signs. Therefore, they are prohibited. Existing Sign Plans for Multi - Occupancy Buildings: Several developments consist of a single structures with multiple tenants. The ordinance requires a signage plan for such buildings. The developer is required to submit a signage plan as part of the development application review. Staff works with the developer on a sign plan, which ultimately is adopted by the City. This becomes the sign regulation document for that development. Several individual development signage plans have been adopted under this procedure. Such signage plans would not be amended automatically by amending the sign ordinance. Each signage plan would have to be revisited, at the request of the development owner, if the plan is to be amended. Tenants should discuss this with the property owner. Fees: The city's fee schedule includes sign permit fees. Temporary signs permits are $25. Permanent sign fees are determined by the building code. An excerpt from the fee schedule is attached. There are other issues in the existing sign ordinance that perhaps merit attention.

B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: July 13, 2005 TOPIC: DISCUSSION: Potential Conservation Development Site BACKGROUND Staff has been in discussion with a prospective developer for a site to the south of the D. Erickson 2nd Addition neighborhood, southwest of Birch Park. This is a site with potential for conservation development. The developer is discussing a restoration plan for the wetland /greenway corridor through the site. It would be another piece in further establishing the greenway corridor that includes part of the Foxborough (Fox Den Acres) project. Recall that this was the first conservation development under the new policy recommended by the Parks, Natural Open Space /Greenways and Trail System Plan. We are continuing to discuss the potential of the site. We have not received a formal development application. The Environmental Board discussed this site in May and were interested in the possibilities for restoration of natural systems. We are presenting this to the P & Z for informational purposes.

C STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: July 13, 2005 TOPIC: DISCUSSION: Requiring Sidewalks In Subdivisions and Ordinance Amendments That Would Be Needed BACKGROUND Members of the P & Z have suggested initiating a discussion about requiring sidewalks in new subdivisions. Sidewalks provide for pedestrian and bicycle use separated from cars in the street. Lino Lakes adopted a new parks and trail plan to facilitate pedestrian and bike usage for both transportation and recreational purposes. Sidewalks along neighborhood streets serve the same purpose and are more easily accessed. There are a number of issues the community would need to consider as part of a sidewalk requirement. These issues include: • providing enough space in the right of way for sidewalks and boulevard trees • utilities and access to them for maintenance • engineering template • should street pavement be narrower: o no shoulder is needed for people and bikes o impervious surface o should parking be allowed if the streets are narrower? • is right of way adequate for sidewalks? • maintenance and reconstruction under the city charter o assessments • shoveling requirement for homeowners None of these issues are insurmountable in other communities. However, the city charter is an element unique to Lino Lakes. The purpose of tonight's discussion is to initiate consideration of these issues.
