Mounds View Planning Commission February 18, 1998 Special Meeting Page 2 4. Presentation: North Metro I-35 Corridor Coalition. University of Minnesota Design Team Director Jopke gave the Commission and citizens in attendance a brief introduction to and background on the University of Minnesota Design Center for American Urban Landscape (Design Center) and the North Metro I-35W Corridor Coalition (Coalition). The seven communities of Arden Hills, Blaine, Circle Pines, Mounds View, New Brighton, Roseville, and Shoreview make up the Coalition. Their vision statement was stated as follows: "The Coalition will jointly and cooperatively plan for and maximize the opportunities for regional community development, quality growth and diversification in the North Metro through a system of collaboration." Mayors and city administrators/managers comprise the governing board. The first year's, 1997, accomplishments include: 1. securing outside sources of funding 2. laying the foundation for a common Geographic Information System (GIS) 3. building relationships within the Coalition as well as other governmental entities such as Anoka County, Ramsey County, school districts, state agencies, and the Metropolitan Council. The Coalition's second year goal is to develop a subregional planning framework to shape and direct future work. The Coalition has contracted with the Design Center to assist in opening up this framework development for community input. Jopke told the Commission it is fundamental that community development committees, council members, appointed commissions, and interested citizens participate in the process. commissions to be held in March or early April, and a Coalition Summit to be held in early May. William Morrish, Director of the Design Center, told the Commissioners and citizens in attendance if the seven city coalition was combined into one city, this city would be the third largest community in Minnesota. In the next ten years this second-tier-urban area, as it is labeled by the Metropolitan Council, will have over 660,000 people living and working in it. Because this area is considered fully developed, in terms of open space, the question becomes: What do we do next? This is the question that the Design Center will assist the Coalition in answering. 10/ Mr. Morrish told the Commission that the Coalition is one of the first groups in the metropolitan area to address the growth and change issues. He said the State Legislature Mounds View Planning Commission February 18, 1998 • Special Meeting Page 3 is very interested in the I-35W Corridor Coalition because of this fact. The process is an aggregated grass roots type of project, and this is what is spurring the interest of the Legislature. Partnerships are important, if only from the standpoint that no one city has a tax base that would allow them to address the problems that need to be solved. Mr. Morrish complimented the Coalition on standardizing the Comprehensive Plan Language. By doing this, it will make it possible for one city to talk to another city in the same language. Each city would be able to react to another city's development that is going to affect their borders. Mr. Morrish stated the GIS system is going to make traffic analyses much easier for the Coalition area. It will also help assess housing issues that depend on location based criteria. Mr. Morrish's third point of discussion addressed "standards". How are we going to accommodate change but also maintain the quality of life in the communities? This, he said, would be the most difficult of tasks because of the interrelation of community boarders. 411, Chairperson Peterson returned the floor to the Commission for questions and comments. Commissioner Johnston stated the GIS maps would be a great help in locating problem areas and approaching design issues on a geographical basis. Commissioner Brooks commented on the fact that the joint effort of the Coalition would take the element of surprise out of the surrounding communities developments. All the cities would know what developments were taking place in each other communities. Commissioner Brasaemle stated the Coalition is the ideal forum to address the issue of puri e. . . . .os -a . . .• .- - -- - :. : . : - :: ' . . design process. Brasaemle told the Design Center the citizens of Mounds View have expressed the desire to have a "little narrower streets." Mounds View city redevelopment was also a point of discussion with the Commissioner. Commissioner Obert commented on the compatibility of all seven cities with the Met Council. He asked if the Met Council would treat this coalition similarly as they have other city groups. Obert specifically stated that Blaine had problems working with the Met Council. Mr. Morrish told Obert the Met Council was very interested in this Coalition because of • its advanced development and organization. He added currently there is a bill in the Legislature as the first to recognize the I-35W Coalition. MnDOT is also interested and has supplied some funding for the development of coalition groups. Mounds View Planning Commission February 18, 1998 • Special Meeting Page 4 Chairperson Peterson asked if there is a unified front on the Anoka County Airport Development. Mr. Morrish said there would be problems, this being one of the major ones for this Coalition Group. It is the challenge to the group to solve the problem so that all participants can get some benefit from the development. Commissioner Obert stated the Coalition would be a good opportunity for the communities to apply some needed pressure on the Met Council as a way to get the ball rolling on some projects. Warren Johnson, 7710 Greenwood, asked who chose Mounds View as a pilot area for the Coalition program. Mr. Morrish told Johnson the Mayor and city administrators were already working together, and the Mayors Association had been formative in getting the City of Mounds View involved in the process. • 5. Planning Case No. 513-98 8265 Spring Lake Road Applicant: Preferred Builders, Inc. Consideration of Resolution No. 532-98, Approving a 7-Foot Variance to the Required 30-Foot Front-Yard Setback. The applicant, Darryl Westerlund was present. eve I organ, • oun•s view - •u •- • , _. •- - • , -- • ; • '- background _background on the proposed development: In 1996 the Mounds View EDA acquired a lot at the above address through the Housing Replacement Program. At that time a 20-foot variance was applied for and granted to deal with the property's 80-foot width and the City's 100-foot-frontage requirement. On January 30, 1998, the EDA sold the property to Preferred Builders. As part of the purchase agreement Preferred Builders was required to build a minimum three bedroom, two bathroom home with an attached two car garage. The home proposed by Preferred Builders meets all of the City's requirements with the exception that the house is 7 feet • wider than the code allows. This width difference is due to the house having a three car attached garage instead of a two car attached garage. The owner is asking for a 7-foot variance to resolve the problem. Mounds View Planning Commission February 18, 1998 • Special Meeting Page 5 Staff is recommending approval of Planning Commission Resolution No. 532-98 denying a variance request by Preferred Builders, Inc., to allow a 7-foot variance from the required 30-foot building setback from a public right-of-way along Ardan Avenue for the property located at 8265 Spring Lake Road. Chairperson Peterson returned the floor to the Commission for questions and comments. Commissioner Brasaemle asked the Builder what rationale was used to select the submitted home design for this property. He stated that a different home plan may have worked better on this piece of property. Darryl Westerland, representative for Preferred Builders, told the Commission the chosen home is the company's most popular design. He continued saying that the company has no home in their design file that would work on the property. Mr. Westerland stated all communication that was held with the City specified this home plan, including the three car garage. He referred to Ms. Bennett as the City's representative on communication matters for the proposed project. Westerland reminded the Commission there is a signed purchase agreement with the City that stipulates the house design as submitted. Westerland offered, as an attempt to settle the issue, to accept a four-foot • variance. He stated the garage could be modified to accommodate this solution. Chairperson Peterson stated that market conditions are such that a three car garage is standard. Commissioner Johnston stated the Builder did not meet the criteria for hardship, although, he would like to see the project approved. Commissioner Brasaemle told the Builder that it was unfair for him to blame the City staff, Ms. Bennett, for the error. He said it is the Builder's responsibility to make sure that all of the City's dimensional requirements, codes, and specifications are met. Mr. Westerland said he did not intend to place blame on any one individual, but again reminded the Commission that he had a signed document that approved the plan as submitted. The Commission reviewed the documents and it was noted that there was conflicting information within the document that would need to be resolved by the City Attorney. It was proposed that the Variance request be tabled to another meeting. This would give the staff the time it would need to resolve the conflicting information issues with the City Attorney. • Motion/Second: Brasaemle/Peterson to table Planning Case No. 513-98, Consideration of Resolution No. 532-98, approving a 7-Foot Variance to the Required 30-Foot Front-Yard Mounds View Planning Commission February 18, 1998 411 Special Meeting Page 6 Setback to a later meeting, thus giving the staff the time that is required to resolve legal issues with the City Attorney. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. 6. Planning Case No. 512-98 2375 and 2395 Highway 10 Applicant: Saturn Development Consideration of Resolution No. 535-98 regarding Development Review The applicant, Saturn Development, represented by Jim Price, was present. Associate Ericson gave the Commission a brief review of the Development background. On February 4, 1998 the Planning Commission held a Development review of the • proposed Saturn Project. At this meeting it was decided that the neighbors within a 350 feet of the proposed project would be notified and given a chance to meet with Planning Commission to discuss the Development. The original site plan, which had been approved in 1996 is being modified so that the new plans will include added showroom space, service bays and a car wash. All work in the new development will be to the east of the existing building, with the exception of the car wash. The primary issues with this development are availability of parking, site lighting and the possibility of combining the parcels for tax purposes, and the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) might require on-site stormwater storage. The revised site plan dated February 12, 1998, shows all of the requested changes have been made with regard to the parking counts, handicapped stalls, garbage dumpster enclosure details and the change to the sign fronting Highway 10. Saturn Development is in the process of working with Ramsey County to resolve the issue of combining the three lots into one for tax purposes. A February 25, 1998 meeting with the RCWD is scheduled to resolve the stormwater drainage details. All conditions of the CUP have been met, with the exception of the 10 percent of the property, excluding setback requirements. The Planning Commission indicated the . property already had an extraordinary amount of setback from Highway 10 and the greenspace therein could apply toward the 10 percent, thereby fulfilling the requirement. Mounds View Planning Commission February 18, 1998 • Special Meeting Page 7 Associate Ericson indicated it is staffs recommendation to Approve Resolution 535-98 recommending approval of the development review request made by Saturn Development Company, with the following stipulations: 1. Prior to the City Council's review, show RCWD stormwater drainage requirements if they exist. 2. Prior to the issuance of any City permits, the applicant shall accomplish the following: a. Obtain access and grading permits from MnDOT and Ramsey County, if required, and provide proof of such permit or permission to the City. b. Obtain a RCWD permit c. Remove the two incidental directional signs from the County Road H-2 right of way. d. Enter into a development agreement with the City. • Chairperson Peterson stated there was a miscalculation on the percentage of impervious surface area. He suggested correcting this number before the plan is approved. Darwin Lindahl, Saturn Development's representative, told the Commission the issue of conforming to the RCWD requirements is being resolved. He added the total amount of impervious surface is the same or may be even less than the existing development. Taking this into account, there might not be a need for on-site stormwater retention. Chairperson Peterson opened the floor to the public for question regarding the Saturn Development. No questions or comments were considered from the public. Motion/Second: Brasaemle/Brooks, to recommend approval of Resolution 535-98, recommending approval of the development review request made by Saturn Development Company, with the stipulations as stated. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. Mounds View Planning Commission February 18, 1998 • Special Meeting Page 8 7. Planning Case No. 507-97 2625 Highway 10, 7715-7761 Eastwood Road Applicant: TOLD Development, for Walgreen's Discussion Regarding Walgreen's Development Request, Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning. Associate Ericson addressed the Commission and citizens stating the Planning Commission is charged with the task of deciding whether or not it would be appropriate to rezone residential properties and amend the comprehensive plan to allow for the development of a Walgreen's store at the northeast corner of Highway 10 and County Road I. He added, the staff is seeking direction from the Planning Commission with regard to drafting a resolution recommending either approval or denial of the rezoning and comprehensive plan amendment request. Associate Ericson gave a background review of the proposal as follows: TOLD Development has purchase agreements in force for the properties located at 2625 • highway 10, and 7715-7761 Eastwood Road. The property fronting highway 10 at this location is owned by the City while the four single-family properties along Eastwood road are under separate ownership. The applicant is requesting a comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning, major subdivision and development review for the stated properties. In addition, the applicant requests the street bisecting these parcels(Eastwood Road)be vacated and replace with a cul-de-sac. The current zoning is split with the City-owned parcel zoned R-3, Medium Density Residential and the parcels on Eastwood Road being zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. The proposed zoning is B-2, Neighborhood Commercial, which would allow the Walgreen use or similar uses such as financial institutions, office building, floral shop, hardware store or off-sale liquor sales. It is staffs recommendation to continue the open discussion process to a future meeting or meetings. The Planning Commission is being asked to provide direction to staff and the developer if additional information is needed. Commissioner Obert observed the absence of comments that address the citizen's concerns in regards to property values. A second issue, as discussed in an earlier Planning Commission meeting, was researching the City's police reports in order to get some kind of factual basis for assessing the traffic accident occurrences in the area of the development. Obert added, as did the other Commissioners, that no matter which way the decision goes on the development, the City would not be able to please all of the residents • affected by this project. It is very critical to the success of the project that the discussions that take place in regard to the Walgreen project be based on fact and not emotion, Obert said. Mounds View Planning Commission February 18, 1998 • Special Meeting Page 9 Associate Ericson responded by saying the accident information requested is being obtained from the State. Bob Cunningham, TOLD Development, addressed the property value issue. He told the Commission he is willing to sit down with the affected property owners on an individual basis to work out their specific issues whether those issues be landscaping, drainage or compensation amounts. Commissioner Obert re-emphasized the need for an independent unbiased real estate appraiser. Gayla Keyes, 7730 Greenwood Drive, told the Commission that she has hired an independent real estate agent to assess her property. This person told her that her property would decrease in value. Cecelia Brownell, 7730 Greenwood Drive, told the Commission that the real estate agent had indicated the property would drop in value between $4,000-$14,000 dollars. She added she does not want the development in the neighborhood. • Terry Moses asked if the appraisal was done by a certified appraiser, and continued by telling the Commission that there is a difference between a real estate agent and an MAI appraiser. He said real estate agents are held to lower standards than an MAI appraiser. He suggested hiring an MAI appraiser to do the work instead of a real estate agent. Director Jopke reminded the Commission and the meeting attendees that it is very important to keep in mind what the "big picture" is. He asked, "How can the staff provide the Commission, Developer and citizens with the type of information that is being requested?" He agreed with Mr. Cunningham's statement that it is very hard to quantify the effect that a development of the type will have on the surrounding neighborhood. Jopke stated the staff would make every attempt to locate information that is relevant to the situation and in turn forward that information to the appropriate people. Chairperson Peterson asked Benshoof and Associate's representative, Michael Chen to comment on the report that SEH had made regarding the traffic study. Michael Chen stated if you asked five different engineers the same question, most likely you'd get five different answers because of the way the information is collected. Benshoof and Associates gathered their information from different sources than SEH. He added that the differences in the two firm's figures were very minute. • Mr. Cunningham added, Walgreen's is a neighborhood retailer, and draws its clientele from the immediate surrounding areas. The majority of the customers are live within 1.5 mile radius of the store. Mounds View Planning Commission February 18, 1998 • Special Meeting Page 10 Chairperson Peterson asked Chen to summarize what the traffic study was indicating. Mr. Chen told the Commission the traffic study indicated the overall impact of the Walgreen's Development is not expected to have a significant negative impact on traffic to the affected neighborhood with the closing of Eastwood Drive. Mr. Johnson stated he has lived in the neighborhood for 29 years, before the shopping center was developed, before any of the commercial developments on this section of Highway 10 came into being. He suggested dividing County Road I so that traffic could enter the Walgreen facility from the left only. This would prevent cars coming down Eastwood from turning into the facility and causing a traffic bottleneck in this area. Associate Ericson told Johnson Ramsey County had received a copy of the development plan for informational purposes. The City is looking for some type of input from the County for the Walgreen development. Mr. Cunningham told the Commission as the developer he would be reluctant to accept the development condition that there be a right-in right-out turn scenario established for County Road I. • Associate Ericson told the Commission it might not be the City's choice because of the fact that County Road I is a county road. He added the City would not force this type of a condition on the developer or the site plan. Mr. Chen added the spacing between Walgreen's main access, the Mounds View Center access, and the Highway 10 intersection all conform to the spacing specifications that have been established by MnDOT. Chairperson Peterson commented the light timing cycle on Highway 10's traffic signals should be modified to improve the traffic flow through Mounds View. Chairperson Peterson suggested the discussion get back to the subject of the "big picture," this being commercial development versus residential on the corner properties that are being considered for the Walgreen development. He added there are some early leanings that have surfaced in the community meetings. It seems like the citizens want any commercial developments to take place on the Highway 10 corridor and any residential developments to take place off of the Highway 10 corridor. The City needs to improve its tax base. Commissioner Obert, again, emphasized the importance of addressing the question of • decreasing property values and addressing the traffic safety issues within the City. Commissioner Brasaemle readdressed the question: "Is this the appropriate piece of Mounds View Planning Commission February 18, 1998 • Special Meeting Page 11 property for his development?" He said he did not have a good answer for this question and probably wouldn't have one until after the next Comprehensive Plan Update meeting, where this particular piece of property was going to be discussed in regards to its fit in the overall Comprehensive Plan. Chairperson Peterson told the Commission one of the comments the citizens have been making at the community meetings concerning the Comprehensive Plan Update is they have no interest in having any more commercial businesses along County Road I. The citizens are saying that nobody should be forced out of their homes on Highway 10 to accommodate more commercial business. The question was posed to each of the Commissioners: Do you have any strong feelings one way or the other in regards to the Walgreen Development location? Commissioner Obert said that the development would be in the Highway 10 corridor, as the citizens have requested, and he tended to be in favor of the location. Commissioner Johnston agreed and added that making Eastwood a cul-de-sac would improve the traffic conditions of the area. • Commissioner Brasaemle told the Commission at this time he does not have strong feelings about the issue. He said he needed more time and more information in order to form a sound opinion. Director Jopke asked the Commission if there is some information that the staff could provide to make the issue more clear. Commissioner Brasaemle requested the County's traffic information on County Road I. - -- • - • - ' - of the affected properties. Associate Ericson reminded the Commission the next Comprehensive Plan Update meeting is scheduled for March 11, 1998, to be held at the Edgewood School. The focus will be on District No. 2. Chairperson Peterson stated three agenda items for the next Planning Commission meeting: 1. Property value appraisal • 2. 3. Traffic issues livability of the development area Mounds View Planning Commission February 18, 1998 • Special Meeting Page 12 8. Staff Reports/Information a. Planning Commissioner Journal Publication The Commissioners acknowledged receipt of same. b. Recap of February 11, 1998 Community Forum Meeting Director Jopke requested that the team leaders of the round table discussions turn in the responses to the discussion agendas so the final report can be put together. Commissioner Brasaemle stated a list of discussion generating questions would have helped his group focus on specific issues relating to the Comprehensive Plan Update. Several of the Commissioner stated that they enjoyed the open form platform because it gave their group fewer boundaries for discussion. 9. Chairperson and Planning Commissioners Reports No Chairperson or Planning Commissioners Reports were considered. 10. Adjournment to Agenda Meeting There being no further business before the Special meeting of the Planning Commission Chairperson Peterson adjourned the meeting at 10:38 p.m. Respectfully submitted, /.pow �f � Rick Jopke Community Development Director • S Planning Comm.
