APPROVAL OF AGENDA: Chair Schaps noted for the audience that item B Public Hearing, would be continued to the March meeting of the Planning and Zoning Board. OPEN MIKE: Chair Schaps declared the Open Mike portion of the meeting open at 6:33 p.m. Hearing no public comments at this time, Rick Gelbmann made a MOTION to close the Open Mike portion of the meeting at 6:34 p.m. and was supported by Thomas Mesich. All voted aye. Motion carried. ACTION ITEMS: A. PUBLIC HEARING - 96 -1, Rezoning, Minor Subdivision,Site Plan Review, Centennial School District, Elm Street Chair Schaps opened the public hearing at 6:35 p.m. Planning Consultant Brixius briefly reviewed the staff report regarding the request of Centennial School District to construct a middle school upon a 64 acre site located south of Highway I -35 and north of Elm Street. • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD FEBRUARY 14, 1996 In order to accommodate the request the following approvals are necessary: 1. Rezoning of a portion of the subject site from R -1, Single Family Residence and L -1, Light Industrial to PSP, Public /Semi - Public District. 2. Subdivision Concept. 3. A site plan review and conditional use permit to allow a middle school within a PSP Zoning District. Mr. Brixius recommended approval of the rezoning if the City finds the proposed middle school use of the property to be acceptable and is contingent upon the subdivision approval to establish definite boundary of the proposed school site. If rezoning is granted the Land Use Plan should be amended to reflect the City's desired use. Mr. Brixius recommended with the approval of the PSP rezoning, that the subdivision concept be approved and subject to the following conditions: 1. Submission of Preliminary and Final Plat conforming to the zoning and subdivision requirements, and including lot and block legal description. 2. All necessary drainage and utility easements to be provided as recommended by the City Engineer. Mr. Brixius recommended a conditional use permit to build a middle school be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. On site traffic control signage must identify entry, exits, one -ways, no parking along fire hydrants, etc. 2. A ten foot trail with a turn around is recommended at the west ballfield to allow for emergency vehicles into the recreation areas. An extension of the pedestrian trail from Elm Street onto the site to connect to the school building, and a trail extension from Fourth Avenue to the school building. 2 • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD FEBRUARY 14, 1996 3. An additional handicap accessible parking space must be provided to meet the handicap parking requirements of 13 that are to be provided on the site and based on the total number of off- street parking provided. Bicycle parking racks must be provided throughout the site. 4. Signs for the proposed site are in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. 5. Park and Recreation Board recommendations outlined in Exhibit H must be addressed. 6. A tree preservation plan must be submitted for final approval and preservation of trees. 7. A final landscaping plan must be submitted and address the overall concept of landscaping; screening of middle school from residential areas; appropriateness of plant material location, type, quantity, and spacing of proposed plant materials. 8. A fence plan must be submitted for final approval. Fencing requirements around the softball /baseball fields and, south and west property lines must be indicated. 9. A grading and drainage plan be submitted subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. The site's wetland is delineated and wetland mitigation plan is reviewed and approved by the Rice Creek Watershed Board and the City. 10. A final utility plan should be submitted for review and comment by the City Engineer. 11. A comprehensive lighting plan be submitted which shows the proposed exterior illumination of the site. 12. Shifting the location of the baseball field west and north of the present proposed location to allow for sufficient buffering along the east and south areas to prevent stray balls from reaching the adjacent street right -of -ways. 3 • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD FEBRUARY 14, 1996 Mr. Wayne Houle, OSM, Inc., stated he had been contracted by the City of Lino Lakes to study the area of transportation and service area for municipal utilities including water and sewer for the aforementioned property. Mr. Houle showed the preferred alignment which was chosen after many meetings with the School District, MnDOT, City staff, City Planning staff and the adjacent property owner. Chair Schaps asked what made this the "preferred alignment ". Mr. Houle explained the major reason was that it worked with all the property owners who abut the roadway. It separated the Rehbein traffic from the school traffic and it was more likely MNDOT would approve a stoplight at the intersection of Fourth Avenue and Lake Drive. Mr. David Pieper, OSM, Inc., explained they had performed a traffic analysis of the amount of traffic which would be generated by the proposed school. The school is anticipated to have 1650 students with a capacity of 1800 students within a few years. They also had performed a traffic analysis based on the impact of adjacent development. With this data they looked for the best, safest access for the school. If two accesses for the school were provided on Lake Drive they would be too close together and could not both be signalled. If the traffic is funneled into one access there will be enough traffic to warrant placement of a stoplight. Mr. Johnson noted the site north of the school will eventually be used for industrial purposes. He questioned how Fourth Avenue would service that area. Economic Development Director Wessel stated there were two options for access to the industrial area. One would be to access off Fourth Avenue. The other option would be to extend a road into the industrial area from the north. Mr. Schones asked if the engineers were aware of the correspondence received from the Nordines, 7190 Gray Heron Drive and asked if their concerns would be addressed before the City Council meeting. 4 • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD FEBRUARY 14, 1996 Mr. Houle stated they would issue a letter to City Engineer Ahrens addressing the concerns and copy the Nordines. Mr. Mesich stated he was concerned with the curve on Fourth Avenue. He asked why it could not be changed to a corner with another street. He felt it was illogical for Fourth Avenue to swing and then start up again on the other side of the highway. Mr. Pieper indicated the internal site plan caused that plan to be developed and it does work with the existing road. The main idea to the plan is to keep the school area safe. Mr. Houle noted Fourth Avenue had to be situated as it was due to the wetlands. In this proposal Fourth Avenue encroaches on less that 1/2 acre of wetland and it is easier to approach the Watershed District for the permit process and usability of the land. Mr. Herr asked if the engineers had discussed with St. Joseph Church how the proposal will impact their facility. City Engineer Ahrens noted St. Joseph Church was not included on the group of agencies to which the site plan was revealed as the proposed road improvements will not impact them other than by the additional traffic. Mr. Mesich asked what criteria was being used to determine that the intersections were too close together to both be signalled. Mr. Pieper stated it was unknown i-f MNDOT would even allow two access points. This will not be known until a proposal is made to MnDOT. The intersection at 35W and Lake Drive will also be signalled in the future and three signals will not function due to their close proximity. Chair Schaps noted that although there will be buses available and a stoplight installed, kids are still going to walk and are going to cross at Elm Street. This is a dangerous intersection. • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD FEBRUARY 14, 1996 Mr. Pieper stated this proposal will facilitate the installation of one signal light and that will be better than two un- signalled intersections. Chair Schaps asked if it would be possible to install flashing lights and post a reduction in the speed limit. Mr. Pieper stated speed control was at MNDOT's discretion. Chair Schaps stated he would only like to see the speed limit reduced when children are going to and from school. Mr. Johnson noted there were problems at Chippewa Middle School and they were able to work out traffic control measures. Mr. Herr noted the intersection is staffed by police. Mr. Houle noted MNDOT would be approached regarding the acceleration lane off Elm Street onto 49 and at that time the issue of the pedestrian cross point and control of traffic could be addressed. Mr. John McClellan, School Superintendent, stated he appreciated the concerns of the Planning Commission. He indicated he also would prefer two stoplights but was told only one will be allowed. All children in the school district to the east side of the site will be bussed. He stated he did not feel there would be a problem during the school day but did acknowledge children crossing may be a problem on the weekends and in the summer. Chair Schaps questioned if a tunnel such as the one on Birch Street could be installed. City Engineer Ahrens stated it could not because the water table was too high in this area. It would require significant excavation. Mr. Mesich noted the proposal will also force traffic from Lake Drive to drive through a school zone to get to Elm Street. Traffic will come directly from a 55 mile per hour zone and be put on a nice straight street. He stated he felt this was extremely dangerous. He 6 • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD FEBRUARY 14, 1996 suggested Elm Street be improved with the installation of turn lanes. Mr. Pieper stated the Elm Street intersection is not at a 90 degree angle and is in short proximity to Fourth Street. There is no place for the buses to stack on Elm Street and the intersection will not function well with it's current alignment. Mr. McClellan stated the school district is in agreement with the 12 conditions outlined by City staff. He explained the circulation on the site. He noted there will be three school houses. One for 6th, one for 7th and one for 8th grades. The houses will be two -story with 600 students in each house, 300 per floor. He explained the layout of the buildings and the athletic field. He stated an effort would be -made to save as many trees as possible and there was no outdoor lighting of the site planned. He noted the ballfields could be moved back another 40 to 50 feet. Mr. Troy Weigold, Cinnamon Teal Court, stated he was concerned with the pine trees and was happy to hear the trees would be saved. He expressed his frustration that residents were not included in the planning procedure for this site. He questioned why Elm Street was cut -off and how this would benefit the residents in the immediate area. He also expressed concern for the children walking on the City trail. Ms. Kathy Carlson, 321 Elm Street, stated she was concerned about the road because there were many emergency vehicles up and down that road. She stated she felt the road was designed to serve the Rehbein property more than the school property and residents. She asked how long a junior high class period would be. Mr. McClellan stated a period was 52 to 55 minutes. Ms. Carlson stated she had walked the area and did not believe there would be time to get a class together and walk down the field and have time to do any activity. It was too far a distance. She stated she felt there was not enough green space in the area by the loading zone and suggested the building be flip flopped. 7 • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD FEBRUARY 14, 1996 Father LeVan, St. Joseph Church, stated he wanted to be sure there would be a fence installed so that balls would not be landing in the cemetery. Mr. McClellan noted there would be a fence and also a large buffer area of 40 feet between the fields and the cemetery. Father LeVan stated the church had 1500 parishioners and within 15 years would have 10,000 parishioners. He stated he would like to see Elm Street widened and a turn lane installed. Ms. Kathy Nordine, 7190 Gray Heron Drive, stated she understood the Planning Commission had received her letter. She expressed her concern with traffic and site access. She stated she has seen no concrete evidence that this proposal is the best solution. If Elm Street is blocked and east access is eliminated onto 49, traffic will be funnelled into another neighborhood via 2nd Avenue. She stated she felt this proposal would inconvenience that neighborhood. She expressed concern for pedestrian traffic on Elm Street and 49. She stated she felt there was too much emphasis being placed on the athletic field. She was disappointed to see all the trees that were being removed. She felt the emphasis was being placed on athletics rather than environmental conservation. She noted normally in a tree preservation policy trees which are removed are required to be replaced. She did not see where trees could be replaced on this site. She stated if there was signage off Elm Street she would prefer it be low and not lit. She noted the Superintendent had stated the fields would not be lit but she would like to see this added as a condition to the permit. Mr. McClellan stated there may be a monument sign in front of the school but he did not believe it would be lit. Planning Consultant Brixius stated staff had requested a comprehensive light plan. He stated some facilities would be used jointly by the School District and the City and he did not know if the Park Board had discussed illumination. 8 • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD FEBRUARY 14, 1996 Ms. Kim Sullivan, Whippoorwill Lane, stated she was an advocate of alternative 3 versus alternative 4. She expressed frustration that the citizens were not involved in the discussions for this project at anytime. She felt there would be problems with school traffic and people trying to go to work at the same time. She did not see any compelling reason to go with the alternative put forward by the School Board. This may be the cleanest option but it does not address the concerns of the neighborhood. She felt rerouting traffic through the school area was dangerous, the increased traffic threatens the safety of the children, and the plan limits access to homes in the neighborhood. She stated she would like alternative 3 to be used or the project sent back for further alternatives. If alternative 4 was chosen she felt there should be four 'conditions attached. These include no school buses on Elm Street, signalization be installed at 4th Street and Lake Drive, no on- street parking on Elm Street, and consideration of the impact of future business development access on Fourth Street. Mr. Arnie Christianson, Elm Street, asked why no improvements had been made to Elm Street in 50 years. He stated his taxes had increased but the street was still the same width with no curbs or street lights. He asked if there would be a fence installed to keep kids out of his hobby shop at the back of his lot. Mr. Patrick Sarver, ATSR, stated there would be a fence installed. Mr. Christianson asked what would happen to the deer, rabbits and squirrels that lived in this area. He stated removal of the trees would also affect his heat bill in the winter. He noted this project was supposed to be for education but it appeared to him to be a bunch of crammed in school buildings surrounded by a lot of fun. He saw the sight as producing a bunch of pro athletes. He felt he would have to get rid of his hobby shop because it would be considered an eyesore. Mr. Ted Matke, 1099 Hawthorne Road, illustrated an alternative he felt would work for circulation on the site. • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD FEBRUARY 14, 1996 Mr. Ted DeSantell, 199 Green Briar, stated he lived on Green Briar and 2nd Avenue and owned his home before the Church was put in. He stated if Elm Street was cut -off, traffic will use 2nd Avenue as a shortcut. He noted traffic used 2nd Avenue now as a shortcut to the church. He asked that his street not be turned into a highway. Mr. Steve Wurscher, 7132 Gray Heron Drive, stated he agreed. He noted there were already 1700 families who attended St. Joseph Church and a new church will be built in a year or so. If Elm Street is cut -off the only way to access the church will be via Sunrise or 2nd Avenue. He indicated he had spoken with Bill Warden, State Highway Inspector and he was very cordial and stated everything was negotiable. He suggested Fourth Avenue would work if it was turned into a cul -de -sac. Mr. Greg Jenks, 327 Elm Street, stated his home was located south of the tennis courts. He indicated all the neighbors, eight families on the north side, were concerned about the woods being cut down. He stated he was concerned with the environment and the wildlife. He stated he was not against athletics but felt this was too many fields for a middle school. He would like to see as much of the woods saved as possible. Everyone is concerned with education but they are concerned with the environment also. He noted when the woods were removed the noise from 35W would be much louder and heating bills would increase due to the wind whipping across the open area. He noted a lot is happening without consideration of the neighborhood. He stated he wanted to compromise but also wanted to be considered. Mr. John Sullivan, Wenzel Farm, stated he was a member of the Charter Commission. He noted his concern with the school and also the whole area. He stated he read in the feasibility report that Lake Drive will become a four - lane highway with medians. He stated he never bargained for this when he purchased his home. He also questioned the installation of an acceleration ramp. He stated he tries to read the newsletters and newspaper to stay involved. He noted he was a member of the Pet Ordinance Committee and if a committee was organized to address the proposed school, he would like to be a member. Chair Schaps asked the feasibility of Lake Drive becoming a four -lane highway. 10 • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD FEBRUARY 14, 1996 City Engineer Ahrens stated 49 was under the jurisdiction of MNDOT. He stated staff had met with the County to obtain a feel for the future plan for 49. He stated there is the potential for 49 to be expanded with a median in the center with a tentative schedule of 10 years. Mr. Mike Wells, 7200 Snow Owl Lane, stated this is the first he has heard about Elm Street and he hopes it is left the way it is now. He stated his concern for the amount of proposed athletic area. He felt the middle school did not need three softball fields. He hoped the athletic area would be scaled back and if not, at least the major baseball field moved up. He stated he was concerned with the fields being lit. He felt the lights would be an eyesore. He suggested the main field be turned 90 degrees so home plate would be located in the southwest corner. Then the lights would shine to the east and north. Also with the field positioned as is, the setting sun will shine in the eyes of the outfielders. Ms. Chris Keller, 7108 -2nd Avenue, stated she has lived in her home for four years. She stated her 5 and 9 year old children are not even allowed to ride their bikes on 2nd Avenue because the traffic is so bad. Due to church, traffic is non -stop and she is unable to get out of her driveway on Sunday mornings. Mr. Jim Carlson, 7195 Cinnamon Teal Court, stated he would like to see the pine trees stay. Hearing no further comments, William Johnson made a MOTION to Close the Public Hearing at 8:24 p.m. and was supported by Rick Gelbmann. All voted in favor. Motion carried. Mr. Snyder stated the School District would like to have part of the construction completed by the fall of 1997. This results in the need of an aggressive schedule. He stated they hope to send out contracts for bid for site grading in early March, have bids in the first part of April and be moving dirt toward the end of April. Mr. Johnson asked if there was enough right -of -way on Elm Street to allow it to be widened to have a turn lane and a trail. 11 • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD FEBRUARY 14, 1996 City Engineer Ahrens stated there is sufficient right -of- way. Ms. Sullivan stated making Elm Street the main entrance was not the issue. The issue was keeping school traffic off Elm Street. Planning Consultant Brixius asked if the site plan would be affected if the street arrangements were changed. Mr. Patrick Sarver, ATSR, stated the most important item when selecting the site plan was the safety of the children and the circulation of the site. It was important to segregate the traffic to keep the children safe. It was the recommendation of the School District that all bus traffic be handled at a lit intersection. Chair Schaps noted the question was if the site plan would be affected if Elm Street was kept as it currently is. Mr. Sarver noted having two accesses would split the traffic and result in the loss of signalization at the Fourth Street intersection. Chair Schaps again asked if it would affect the site plan. Mr. Snyder stated keeping Elm Street open would have no bearing on the site design. Chair Schaps asked if the closing of Elm Street would in fact affect 2nd Avenue to the extent expressed by the residents. Mr. Mesich asked if keeping Elm Street open would be safer as it would reduce the traffic on Fourth Street. City Engineer Ahrens stated the answer was yes and no. There is concern with the traffic on Fourth Street and the interaction with children. However, if Elm Street is left as is, the signal light on Fourth Street will be compromised. This will create the same situation as at the Chippewa Middle School. School buses are slow at takeoff and need time to get up to speed. With a signal light the other traffic will have to stop so the buses will have adequate .time. 12 • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD FEBRUARY 14, 1996 Mr. Mesich stated he hoped to have cooperation from the Police Department and the County. He stated he felt it would be more appropriate to place the signal light at Elm Street where the children will be walking than at Fourth Street. City Engineer Ahrens stated this was not an option due to future land use along Lake Drive. The Fourth Street intersection is centrally located when ultimum build out is considered. Chair Schaps asked why the residents were not consulted in the planning of these proposals. Mr. Houle noted it was not standard procedure. Chair Schaps noted there were significant problems with closing off Elm Street and asked if it was still the "preferred plan ". Mr. Houle stated this alternative had been chosen after numerous meetings with city staff, the School District, MNDOT and Rehbein. He noted the Elm Street and 49 intersection is not safe the way it is now. The other issue involved is bus stacking. Mr. Pieper asked how many buses would be entering the school property. Mr. McClellan stated there would be approximately 30 -32 buses and probably more as the population increases. He suggested the possibility of a left turn lane onto Elm Street. He noted he felt the signal light was a necessity. Mr. Schones asked why this item was being rushed. Planning Consultant Brixius reported Planning staff did not have the opportunity to review the final plans until last Monday. Mr. Mesich asked why the Planning Commission was not supplied with the feasibility report. City Engineer stated the feasibility report was prepared and distributed to the City Council last Monday. He 13 • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD FEBRUARY 14, 1996 stated he would provide copies for the Planning and Zoning Boardmembers. Chair Schaps asked if there was a time table involved for financing. Mr. McClellan noted it was six weeks. Chair Schaps noted the Planning and Zoning Board only received this information two to three days ago. Mr. McClellan indicated this was due to the plan being rehashed and rehashed. He stated there had been 14 meetings and the traffic plans had been changed 14 times. This is the alternative everyone agreed upon. Mr. Johnson stated if it is absolutely essential to have only one intersection on Lake Drive, he felt that intersection should be Elm Street. Chair Schaps asked if any consideration had been given to the amount of traffic on 2nd Avenue. Mr. Pieper stated traffic was projected for a 20 year period, taking into consideration the opening of the school and adjacent development. Also taken into consideration was the anticipation of a stoplight being installed at Lake Drive and Highway 35W. Chair Schaps asked if traffic on 2nd Avenue had been taken into account in the study. Mr. Pieper stated the study included the intersection at Elm Street and 49 as well as the intersection at Elm Street and 2nd Avenue. Chair Schaps asked if there was data on the traffic flow which would be diverted to 2nd Avenue. Mr. Pieper stated significant impact to the traffic flow on 2nd Avenue could not be avoided under any alternative. He stated he did have traffic counts for the intersection of Elm Street and 2nd Avenue for both alternatives 3 and 4 but they were not included in the feasibility study. Chair Schaps called a brief recess at 8:55 p.m. 14 • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD FEBRUARY 14, 1996 Chair Schaps reconvened the meeting at 9:06 p.m. Chair Schaps suggested that due to the issues of traffic generated on Elm Street, Lake Drive and 2nd Street, determination of this issue be continued to the March 13, 1996 Planning and Zoning Board meeting. Between now and the March 13, 1996 meeting, neighborhood meetings shall be conducted with OSM, Inc., City staff, the architects and the School District. Chair Schaps announced that Mr. Steve Wurscher had volunteered to be the neighborhood point person. The number one concern is the issue with Elm Street and no movement will be made on this issue until there is resolution of a feasible alternative. City Engineer Ahrens noted the City Council meeting on March 11, 1996 will consider the assessments for road improvements. Planning Coordinator Wyland noted the School District and the industrial property to the north will be the only properties to be assessed. There will be no assessments to residential properties. Mr. Mesich asked who would fund the proposed trail. Planning Coordinator Wyland stated it will be a 50/50 match of the City with the School District. Ed Schones made a MOTION to continue agenda item VA. Rezoning, Minor Subdivision, Site Plan Review for Centennial School District to the March 13, 1996 Planning and Zoning Board meeting and was supported by Thomas Mesich. All voted in favor. Motion carried. Chair Schaps noted he felt there may -be no perfect solution to this item and urged all parties involved to look at the big picture and not argue over the small points. B. PUBLIC HEARING - 96 -2, Minor Comprehensive Plan Amendment for MUSA Land Exchange within Pheasant Hill Preserve, Ed Vaughn, Pheasant Hills Preserve Phase 7 Chair Schaps noted a request had been made by City staff to continue this public hearing to the March Planning and Zoning Board meeting. 15 • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD FEBRUARY 14, 1996 Planning Coordinator Wyland explained City staff has made this request because changes may be made by the Metropolitan Council in the near future which would make this request unnecessary. Mr. Vaughn has been contacted and is agreeable to the delay. Bill Johnson made a MOTION to continue the Public hearing for Minor Comprehensive Plan Amendment for MUSA Land Exchange within Pheasant Hills Preserve, Ed Vaughn, Pheasant Hills Preserve Phase 7 to the March 13, 1996 Planning and Zoning Board meeting and was supported by Thomas Mesich. All voted in favor. Motion carried. VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS: A. Rick Carlson - Development South of Pineridge II and III and North of 62nd Street Mr. Ted Matke stated Mr. Carlson had purchased the property and would like to develop it into single family homes. He provided a sketch plan which illustrated the basic layout of the proposed development. • Mr. Herr asked what was proposed for the strip of land on the west side of the pond. • Mr. Matke stated Mr. Carlson finds it best to plat through the ponds. Planning Consultant Brixius noted this was only a concept plan. He stated he agreed with Mr. Matke that this was a logical extension of the MUSA. Chair Schaps asked the reasoning for the outlot. Mr. Matke explained the property owner wanted to maintain enough land to split off another parcel of land to be developed into four lots and sold at a later date. Mr. Johnson noted the connection to the trail corridor would have to be though an existing _lot. He noted Ware Road was in need of repair and this proposal would add more traffic. Mr. Mesich stated he had no problem with the concept plan but was concerned with the limited access. 16 • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD FEBRUARY 14, 1996 Chair Schaps stated he felt the project would interconnect nicely with the Pineridge project. There was Planning and Zoning Board consensus to generally speak in favor of the development involved in the concept plan. Chair Schaps reminded of the Dog Ordinance meeting scheduled for February 15, 1996 at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall. Planning Coordinator Wyland announced the neighborhood meeting regarding the middle school had been scheduled for February 22, 1996 at City Hall. VII. ADJOURNMENT: William Johnson made a MOTION to adjourn the meeting at 9:47 p.m. and was supported by Thomas Mesich. All voted in favor. Motion carried. 17
