MEMO
To: Mounds View Planning Commission
From: Steve Dorgan, Housing Inspector
Subject: Planning Case No. 513-98: Preferred Builders Variance Request
Date: March 18, 1998
At the last Planning Commission meeting on March 4, the commission tabled the variance
request by Preferred Builders to the March 18th regular meeting. The applicant offered a
compromise which would reduce the requested variance to 4 feet instead of 7 feet. The
commission requested the item be tabled so that staff could provide an additional resolution for
consideration which approves a 4 foot variance request.
Preferred Builders submitted the application requesting the proposed variance on January 30,
1998. According to Minnestota State Statutes, development proposals must receive formal
• action from the reviewing board within 60 days from the date of submittal. The 60 day time
frame will expire on March 31, 1998. Therefore, action must be taken on the request at the
March 18 regular Planning Commission meeting.
As directed by the commission, attached are resolutions approving a 4 foot variance (Exhibit A),
denying the requested 7 foot variance (Exhibit B) and approving the requested 7 foot variance
(Exhibit C). Also enclosed are certificates of survey for both the 4 foot variance request(Exhibit
D) and the 7 foot variance request(Exhibit E).

Memo
TO: Planning Commissioners
FROM: Jim Ericson, Planning Associate
SUBJECT: Walgreens Development Proposal
DATE: March 18, 1998
Background Information:
At your last meeting on March 4, 1998, the Planning Commission was presented with
supplemental information regarding the request made by TOLD Development Company to rezone
residential properties and amend the comprehensive plan to allow for the construction of a
Walgreens store at the northeast corner of Highway 10 and County Road I.
This information concerned (1)the accident data for both County Road I between Long Lake
• Road and Highway 10 and data for the intersection of Highway 10 and County Road I, (2) impact
to values of adjacent properties, and (3) an update regarding the applicant's discussion with the
adjoining property owners. The following represents a summary of that information.
. (1)Accident Data.
Discussions with the Ramsey County Traffic Engineer have revealed that the number of
accidents on County Road I between Long Lake Road and Highway 10, excluding those
occurring at either intersection, numbered only six during the last four years. Of these,
four involved right-angle impacts from vehicles leaving Moundsview Square.
Regarding accident data for the intersection of highway 10 and County Road I, a printout
was generated for an almost two year period, beginning January 1, 1996 to November 12,
1997. There were 18 recorded accidents reported by either Mounds View Police or the
State Patrol. Given the number of vehicles passing this intersection daily, the number of
accidents that have occurred is relatively insignificant. The following represents some of
the"mitigating circumstances" associated with the accidents.
• 4 of the accidents occurred between the hours of 10 pm and 6 am
• 5 of the accidents involved wet, snowy, icy or slushy road conditions
• 2 of the accidents involved alcohol
• 1 accident involved a bicycle
• 1 accident involved a fixed object--the traffic semaphore

(2)Impact to Values of Adjacent Properties.
Staff contacted two certified real estate appraisers to answer this question. Both
responded that there would be some impact to adjacent properties, although the extent
would be difficult to quantify without performing a thorough appraisal process. The
important variables are the type of use proposed, the existing character of the surrounding
area, location to major traffic arteries, setbacks, buffering, as well as other less critical
criteria.
To determine if there are any studies, research or data regarding the introduction of a
commercial use into a residential area, staff contacted a representative of the American
Planning Association's (APA) research division and requested that they send us any
pertinent or relative information. While we had not received the results of their search by
the time this report was written, we are confident that the information will arrive prior to
the meeting on the 18th. Staff will deliver this information to the Commissioners
immediately upon its receipt.
(3) Update Regarding the Applicant's Discussion with the Adjoining Property Owners •
The applicant has indicated that personal meetings have been conducted with all of the
adjoining property owners and a cash settlement offer has been extended to them. It is not
clear at this time whether or not any of the property owners have accepted the applicant's
offer. The applicant will address this issue.
New Information:
Access Points. I have attached letters from Dan Soler, Ramsey County Traffic Engineer, and
Scott Peters, MnDOT Senior Transportation Planner. Ramsey County will require that the
developer improve the intersection of County Road I and Highway 10 by construction a right-turn
lane on westbound County Road I onto Highway 10. From the County's perspective, the
addition of the turning lane would alleviate enough of the congestion at the intersection and
prevent stacking of vehicles beyond the proposed Walgreens access on County Road I. Dan Soler
indicated that without the right turn lane, the median on County Road I would probably need to
be extended back beyond the entrance to Walgreens, preventing full ingress and egress from the
site.
MnDOT's position with regard to the proposed right-in right-out access onto Highway 10 is that
it will not allow for an access at this location due to (1) its close proximity to the intersection of
the highway and county road and (2) because the property has an alternative means of access to
Planning Commission Report
• TOLD Development Rezoning& Comp Plan Amendment
March 18, 1998
Page 3
the property via County Road I. Staff has not had any discussions with MnDOT or Mr. Peters to
ascertain if there are any compromises that could be worked out with regard to the access point.
Traffic Calming on Greenwood Drive. Staff has enlisted the assistance of Mike Ulrich, Director
of Public Works, to assess the possibility of adding some type of traffic calming measures to
Greenwood Drive. This idea has been discussed at previous meetings as a possible means to both
reduce and slow down traffic passing through the neighborhood. Mr. Ulrich has indicated that of
the many possibilities, a mid-block diversion that would create a slight S-curve in the road might
be acceptable. Staff is seeking the input of the City Engineer on this possibility.
Analysis:
Staff has presented the Planning Commission with two items for consideration at this meeting if
the Commission so desires. Resolution 536-98 recommends approval of the comprehensive plan
amendment to the City Council while Ordinance No. 614 is the vehicle by which the properties
are rezoned to reflect the B-2, Limited Business classification. Approval of the Ordinance can be
done by a simple motion.
One of staff's concerns with the rezoning is what would happen if, after the rezoning was
approved, the applicant for whatever reason did not follow through with his plans to develop the
site. The City would be left with four non-conforming single-family homes. This can be
prevented simply by not publishing the Ordinance in the official City newspaper until after all of
the other hurdles have been cleared, such as the major subdivision, vacation of Eastwood Road
and the major subdivision. If the ordinance does not get published, it does not become effective.
At this point, other than not knowing the results of the APA research results, staff is not aware of
. I . I ' . I .i .. I . - se - _ --• . e e . . . . - . . .. -d rezoning and
comprehensive plan amendment. If the developer has worked out a settlement with the adjacent
properties, then the results of the APA research become less of a factor in a decision on these
requests. Last, the date by which a final decision would need to be reached on these requests is
May 29, 1998.
Recommendation:
1. Staff recommends approving Planning Commission Resolution 536-98, a resolution
recommending that the City Council approve a comprehensive plan amendment to change
• the designations of the properties located at 2625 Highway 10 and 7715-7761 Eastwood
Road to NC, Neighborhood Commercial, allow for the construction of a Walgreens Drug
Store.

2. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission move approval of draft Ordinance No.
614, an ordinance amending the City's official zoning map by rezoning the properties

District classification.

Dear Jim Ericson:
SUBJECT: TOLD Development Company
Site Plan Review S98-015
Northeast Quadrant of Trunk Highway(TH) 10 and County Road I
Mounds View, Ramsey County
C.S. 6204
The Minnesota Department of Transportation(Mn/DOT) has reviewed the TOLD Development
Company site plan. We find the plan acceptable for further development with consideration of the
•llowing comments.
• We will not allow the proposed access to TH 10 because of safety concerns. The proposed
access is only 150 feet from the TH 10/County Road I intersection. A distance of 480 feet is
required to accommodate a right turn lane with a taper for this access. The site has adequate
and safe access via County Road I.
Regional policy developed by the Metropolitan Council discourages direct access to minor
arterials from individual properties. The emphasis of TH 10 is to serve mobility as opposed
to direct land access. Access to County Road I is more appropriate.
Regional policy advocates land access management and control as tools in ensuring that
minor arterials continue to operate efficiently and effectively. As one goal of the City's
Focus 2000, initial highway corridor improvements have focused on a bike/pedestrian trail
adjacent to TH 10. The future trail and safety of its users must strongly be evaluated when
considering plans with direct property access to TH 10. .
• We may require a Mn/DOT stormwater drainage permit for the proposed development.
Please submit a grading/drainage plan for our review prior to site construction. This plan
must include hydraulic computations and drainage area maps, showing existing and
• proposed conditions and addressing 100-year storms. Existing drainage patterns and rates of
runoff affecting TH 10 right of way must be perpetuated. Any questions regarding Mn/DOT
drainage concerns may be directed to Gene Bovy of our Water Resources Section at 779-
5053.

• Any use of or work within Mn/DOT right of way will require an approved Mn/DOT
permit. The permit required depends upon the nature of the proposed work. Bill Warden
of our Permits Section may be contacted at 582-1443 for additional information regarding
the permit process.
Please contact me at 582-1654 with any questions regarding this review.

Mr. Jim Ericson 1
City of Mounds View s
2401 Highway 10 _
Mounds View, Minnesota 55112
Dear Mr. Ericson:
The Ramsey County Public Works Department has reviewed the
plans for the Walgreens Development proposed along County
Road I east of TH 10 .
The plan shows removal of the Eastwood Road city street
access onto County Road I and the construction of one full
access point onto County Road I at the east end of the
. property The County has reviewed the development plans and
the traffic study prepared for this development. The County
would like to make the following comments regardingth
.proposed access onto County Road I . e
• 1. The County supports the closure of Eastwood Road onto.
County Road I. This city street is located very
Highway 10 and poses operational problemclose thee
intersection.
2 . The traffic study concludes that the access from Walgreens
onto County Road I will not negatively impact traffic. The
eastbound left turn into and out of the site will operate
at an acceptable level of service. The County has reviewed
this and concurs that the median will not have to be
extended along County Road I past this driveway. The
projected number of left turns is low and should not
result in backing up of eastbound vehicles .
3 . The report states that a queuing analysis indicates that
westbound traffic will "hardly ever back up" past the
driveway if constructed 175 feet from Highway 10 . This
does not agree with information provided by HDR in a
Minnesota Department of Transportation Study. The Mn/DOT
study concludes that the westbound
queue will be 310 feet
in the am peak and 314 feet in th
0 2005 with the existingpmpeak by the year
geometrics. This will result in a
back up past the proposed entrance during both peak hours .
Minnesota's First Home Rule County
orintM nn......len ....._._._ _.-..
The Mn/DOT study identifies construction of a westbound
right turn lane on County Road I at Highway 10 as part of
the geometric improvements to the Highway 10 corridor.
Ramsey County recommends that the construction of this
right turn lane be part of the Walgreens development. The
City of Mounds View should require
construct this turn lane as a conditione of developer
pCity's
approval .
4 . The report states that the construction of the TH 118/610
connector will divert significant traffic away from
Highway 10 . This is expected with the initial opening of
the connector; however, Highway 10 is also expected to
return to its original level in the future.
5 . The developer will be required to obtain access permits
from Ramsey County for access and construction on County
Road I .
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free t
give me a call at 482-5209. o
Sincerely,
Daniel E. Soler, P.E.
Traffic Engineer

RESOLUTION NO. 536-98
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AMENDMENT FROM LOW DENSITY AND HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL FOR PROPERTIES LOCATED AT
2625 HIGHWAY 10 AND 7715-7761 EASTWOOD ROAD;
PLANNING CASE NO. 507-97.
WHEREAS, TOLD Development Company has applied for a comprehensive plan
amendment which would change the designation of the property located at 2625 Highway 10 and
7715-7761 Eastwood Road from high and low density residential to neighborhood commercial;
and,
WHEREAS, the subject properties are described as follows:
The South '/ of Lot 51,All of Lot 50,Lot 49 and Lot 78,
Spring Lake Park Hillview, Ramsey County, Minnesota
WHEREAS, Section 401.09 of the Mounds View Municipal Code states that the City has
adopted the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Mounds View, dated 1979, as its plan for future
development and growth within the City; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Mounds View adopted the 1979
Comprehensive Plan in 1982 by Resolution No. 1467; and,
WHEREAS, the 1979 Comprehensive Plan places the subject properties in District 6 and
deli l nates these .roped for both high and low density residential development as indicated by
Exhibit 1, attached herewith; and,
WHEREAS, both the Comprehensive Plan and the zoning map designate these properties
for residential development; and,
WHEREAS, there has been much community sentiment regarding the inappropriateness
of future residential development fronting Highway 10; and,
WHEREAS, in a study completed by SRF Consulting in April, 1997, the property at 2625
Highway 10 was deemed to be too restrictive for stand-alone development due to access
• limitations and size constraints; and,
Planning Commission Resolution No. 536-98 •
March 18, 1998
Page 2
WHEREAS, the SRF study indicated that development potential of the property located
at 2625 Highway 10 would be enhanced if combined with adjacent properties; and;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission makes the following findings that the proposed
amendment is consistent with the general land use goals and policies contained in the
Comprehensive Plan as follows:
Goal 1. Develop a cohesive land use pattern which ensures compatibility and functional relationships
among activities and uses.
The change from high density and low density residential to neighborhood commercial will
allow for the commercial development of the northeast corner of the Highway 10 and
County Road I intersection, an intersection that already supports three corners of higher
intensity commercial uses--a Hardees Restaurant and the Moundsview Square Shopping
Center, a SuperAmerica gas station and convenience store, and a Burger King Restaurant.
Given the high traffic counts at this intersection, it would seem more appropriate to use
the land for commercial rather than residential development. The proposed amendment is
in keeping with the community goal of limiting commercial development to the Highway
10 corridor. The neighborhood commercial designation is the least common designation •
used in the comprehensive plan, representing less than one-quarter of one percent of the
properties in the City. The proposed use would be set back approximately 130 feet from
neighboring residential properties and separated by a minimum 70 feet of greenspace and
other physical buffering. The neighborhood commercial designation, as opposed to the
more intensive highway commercial designation, would in itself be a buffer to the
adjoining residential properties.
Goal 2. Maintain and, where necessary, upgrade land uses and environmental quality.
The policy under this goal directs attention to protecting integrated use districts (residential
neighborhoods, commercial centers, industrial parks) from penetration by through traffic.
By virtue of its proximity to Highway 10 and County Road I, the residential district
already experiences a penetration of through traffic. Redeveloping the subject properties
for a commercial use will add to the existing traffic in this residential district. The
tradeoff, however, is that Eastwood Road would no longer feed into the Highway 10 /
County Road I intersection thus eliminating a notable point of conflict and with the
addition of a right turn lane onto Highway 10 from eastbound County Road I, the overall
functioning of the intersection will be significantly improved.
•
Goal 3. Preserve and protect property values.
• Planning Commission Resolution No. 536-98
March 18, 1998
Page 3
It is hoped that in the long run, property values will increase with the introduction of a
lower-intensity neighborhood commercial use at the corner of the most traveled
intersection of the City. The positive impact to the City's tax base will serve to lessen the
tax burden to residential properties across the City.
Goal 4. Ensure community development is compatible with features of the natural environment and
is accommodated without destroying desirable environmental features and natural amenities.
Other than a few mature trees present on the subject properties, there are no natural
environmental features or amenities that will be threatened or degraded as a result of the
proposed development. The plans for development will include a system for capturing
stormwater run-off for the subject properties which should improve conditions for
properties immediately adjacent to the development. In so doing, the quality of the
stormwater than now runs untreated into the City's sewer system will be significantly
improved.
Goal 5. Prevent development which is not accompanied by a sufficient level of supportive services
• and facilities (utilities, parking, access, etc.)
The properties are located on Highway 10, a principal arterial and the major thoroughfare
in Mounds View, and County Road I, a minor arterial street. While adequate opportunity
for access to the development is available onto County Road I, access may not be possible
onto Highway 10 because of the limited highway frontage. The Minnesota Department
of Transportation (MnDOT) will need to review and approve any requests for access onto
Highway 10. Water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, gas and electric lines are available.
Comments from the Blaine/Spring Lake Park/Mounds View Fire Department regarding
access to the subject properties as well as to the properties on a dead-end Eastwood Road
.•::_. . . : _ s v . 4•11 . - - . . i - Cu -,e-sac, no
reduction in the level of service or response time would be expected. The parking
requirements would be examined during the development review.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission makes the following additional findings that the
proposed amendment is consistent with the commercial goals and policies contained in the
Comprehensive Plan as follows:
Goal 1. Commercial development shall be considered in order to provide a broad tax and expanded
employment base within Mounds View.
• Redesignating the subject properties to allow for the development of a specific neighborhood
commercial use will increase the City's tax base ten-fold and create 35 positions, more than
Planning Commission Resolution No. 536-98
March 18, 1998
Page 4
half of which would be full-time positions. Many of the jobs created would be filled by
Mounds View residents.
Goal 2. Provide safe, convenient, attractive, and accessible commercial development within Mounds
View.
The development proposed at the northeast corner of Highway 10 and County Road I
would be put through an intensive review process by which all aspects of the building
design and site layout would be examined. The proposed use would be buffered from the
adjacent residential areas by an expanse of greenspace, plantings and a fence. In terms of
convenience, a neighborhood commercial use at this location would give those residents
living north of County Road I and east of Highway 10 the ability to walk for certain goods
and services without having to cross either thoroughfare, which are viewed as major
barriers to pedestrian and other non-vehicular traffic. To encourage pedestrian use, the
City would require that a sidewalk be extended to the site from Long lake Road on the
north side of County Road I and there would be a pedestrian access from Eastwood Road
to the north.
110,
Goal 3. Major retail sales and services will be developed in planned and concentrated centers.
Now that the majority of the available vacant land within the City is either developed or
is slated for development, this goal may not be as applicable as infill development becomes
more prevalent. However, if one considers that by locating on the fourth corner of an
intersection already populated with higher intensity commercial uses, then this goal is met.
The development will provide for its own stormwater retention and treatment system.
Goal 4. The development of small, neighborhood convenience stores will be limited to locations which
best serve residential areas without impairing residential development.
Any development proposed for this site will be put through an intensive review process
through which compatibility with the character of the surrounding neighborhood will be
strongly encouraged. The access to the proposed use will be convenient for the
surrounding community and non-vehicular traffic will be encouraged through the
installation of pathways and sidewalks.
WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Plan land use map designation for District 6 is proposed
to be amended as shown on Exhibit 2, attached herewith. •
