N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\PLANCOMM\PCAGENDA\1999\3-17-99.REG REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION • Meeting Date: March 17, 1999 Staff Report by: James Ericson, Planning Associate Planning Case No.: 548-99 Request: The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow for outdoor plant and flower sales at Moundsview Square Shopping Center. Applicant: Peter Linder, representing Linder's Greenhouses, Inc. Location: 2535-2585 Highway 10 (Moundsview Square Shopping Center) PIN No. 07-30-23-11-0079 Zoning/Land Use: B-4, Regional Business District/ Shopping Center Applicable Regulations: • Section 1115.04, Subd. 2 of the Mounds View Municipal Code states that"Open or outdoor service, sale and rental as an accessory use" is a conditional use in the B-4 zoning district, requiring a CUP to be obtained. Section 1125.01, Subd. 3b of the Code states that"in granting a conditional use permit, the City Council shall consider the advice and recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the effect of the proposed use on the Comprehensive Plan and upon the health, safety and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands." Attachments: Planning Application Zoning Map Site Plan Greenhouse Design Interior Specifications Letter from Applicant Letter from Property Owner Resolution 573-99 Background: Peter Linder, representing Linder's Greenhouses, has applied for a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow the operation of an outdoor sales operation at Moundsview Square. Linder's was previously issued CUPs for the 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 growing seasons. No changes are proposed in the location, layout and operation from the previous years. In his letter of application, Mr. Linder requests that the City consider allowing the operation to Linder's CUP Request • Planning Case No. 548-99 March 17, 1999 Page 2 110 hook up to a fire hydrant on the property in order to get water for the flora. This was done last year and years past with no associated problems. The charges for permitting such water usage include a $100 hydrant deposit, a $20 wrench deposit and a$20 adapter valve deposit. These deposits are refundable. The applicant's request to connect to the fire hydrant has been approved by the Department of Public works, subject to receiving the appropriate deposits. In addition, the applicant will be billed$1.45 per day for water service, which will more than exceed the actual cost of water utilized. The difference between this conditional use permit resolution for Linders and the ones approved in previous years is that this resolution contains provisions which will allow the applicant to return to the Moundsview Square shopping center in subsequent years without reapplying for a CUP, so long as certain provisions are met. Staff will administratively review the case on an annual basis to ensure all conditions are met. Analysis: Mr. Linder is expecting to operate the Flower Mart from April 15 to July 7, but would like the CUP to be effective from March 15 to July 15 to accommodate for seasonal fluctuations and assembly/disassembly. Linder's Flower Mart is a perennial Mounds View business, having been at • the same location for the past five years. Staff is not aware of any problems associated with this operation and the applicant has provided a letter from the operators of Moundsview Square in which they give their permission for Linders to do business in their parking lot. The flower mart will be located at the edge of the Moundsview Square parking lot, alongside the Highway 10 right of way. The closest residential neighbors at this point are the homes behind the shopping center and the Wildwood Manor senior apartments across Highway 10 to the south. The residences, separated from the flower mart by the shopping center and the highway, should bear no discernable impact from the use. The flower mart meets the needs of the residents of Mounds View in that there are no greenhouses within the City. The zoning for the shopping center is B-4 (Regional Business District) which allows outdoor sales as a conditional use. The area of Moundsview Square is identified as Highway Commercial within the City's Comprehensive Plan, a designation consistent with the shopping center and proposed flower mart. Traffic in the area should not increase as a result of this use as it will draw much of its customer base from Moundsview Square shoppers and commuters traveling east and west on Highway 10. The greenhouse will not interfere with the internal circulation of the shopping center and the loss of the parking spaces will not create a shortage of parking stalls on the premises. Previous Discussions: Last year when the City Council approved the conditional use permit to allow Linder's to operate its greenhouse at Moundview Square, the applicant had requested that the CUP be drafted so that it would not expire. Staff, in an effort to save time and resources, } Linder's CUP Request Planning Case No. 548-99 March 17, 1999 Page 3 agreed that it would prefer to either change the code to allow such uses as permitted within that zoning district or allow the CUP to remain in effect indefinitely. With assistance from the City Attorney, Staff presented a draft ordinance to the Planning Commission on February 3, 1999. As originally drafted, the amendment would have permitted outdoor produce sales and outdoor lawn and garden sales as an accessory use within a B-3, B-4 or I-1 zoning district. After much discussion, this approach was deemed discriminatory to other types of outdoor sales operations. The alternative proposed was to draft the CUP resolution in such a way as to allow for perennial non-permanent businesses--such as Linder's--to operate under the control of a non-expiring CUP. Staff had verified with the City Attorney that this can be done. Staff also checked Minnesota Statutes regarding the duration of CUPs, which states in Section 462.3595, Subd. 3 that"A conditional use permit shall remain in effect as long as the conditions agreed upon are observed.". The resolution before the Planning Commission is an example of such an instrument. Recommendation: Given the positive history of the Linder's operation at Moundsview Square shopping center and the fact that this business fulfills a community need with no discernable negative impacts, staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution 573-99, a resolution recommending to the City Council approval of the conditional use permit for Linder's Greenhouses with • stipulations as to starting and ending dates, hours of operation, lighting and signage. 46-144-66. .u.6o James Ericson, Planning Associate N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\DEVCASES\548-99\LINDERS.PC • CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING APPLICATION COW_-3LZ-4414- APPLICANT: 4- APPLICANT: Lt ir_s CoR TAVic ( Phone (051,-130-QS1s ADDRESS: 2VS \ L \i4k-%ttii fXY 1 < ► t~l Street Address, City, State, and Zip Code • 110 Interest in Property (check appropriate box): ❑ Owner of Property • ❑ Contract for Deed Owner Lessee, Operator, Manager Agreement to Purchase ❑ Other (explain) Documentaryevidence of applicant's Interest In the property may be required before final City action of this request.

I would like to state that the Flower Mart at this location has been very successful and we hear many customers comment that they are happy to have us here. As far as I know there have never been any problems with our being here and we feel we are good neighbors for the shopping center and the community. We are eager to return for our sixth successful year in Mounds View. . You will note that nothing has changed from last year and we will operate in 1999 the same as in 0 1998. Our electricity comes from the pylon in the lot near the Flower Mart. The water for our use comes from the hydrant to the south of the Flower Mart. This is also the same as in years past. It has worked out very well for us and your public works department. Our 1999 business season is planned for April 15 thru July 7. We need the same allowances for assembly and take down as in years past. I have enclosed a check for$250.00 (the same as in the past years) as the fee for this permit. I hope this information satisfies all your needs. If you have any questions please call me at 612-363-4414. As we spoke today, I am eager to see any change made that will make the permit process less cumbersome for the City of Mounds View as well as Linder's. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Outdoor service, sales and equipment rental connected with the principal use is limited to thirty percent (30%) of the gross floor area of the principal use. The shopping center contains 102,035 square feet of building area. The applicant proposes to occupy 2,200 square feet in the parking lot, which is 2.2% of the building square footage on the site. This criterion has been met. b. Outside sales areas are fenced or screened from view of neighboring residential uses or an abutting residential district in compliance with Subdivisions 1103.08(1) through(5) of this Title. The parking lot fronting Highway 10 does not abut any residential properties. The nearest Planning Commission Resolution 573-99 Page 2 residential property is Wildwood Manor, an apartment building for senior citizens, which 1 would be well screened from the proposed use by a stand of trees and separated by the intervening Highway 10. This criterion has been met. c. Sales area is grassed or surfaced to control dust. The applicant is proposing to use an existing parking lot which is surfaced with asphalt. This criterion is met. d. The provisions of Section 1125.01(1)e of this Title are considered and satisfactorily met. Adverse Effects: The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment or conditional use. Its judgement shall be based upon(but not limited to)the following factors: (1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan. (2) The geographical area involved. (3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. (4) The character of the surrounding area. (5) The demonstrated need for such use. 0 The proposal is for a temporary greenhouse in the parking lot of an existing shopping center. The shopping center is surrounded by roadways and the area where the use is to be located is 1,000 feet from the nearest residential property. The short duration of the use will result in little, if any, effect upon the surrounding area. The sale of flowers and plants is a typical seasonal business in a community such as Mounds View and it serves a community need. This criterion is met. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission recommends approval of the conditional use permit with the following stipulations: 1. The facility shall only operate from March 15 to July 15 of each year. 2. The hours of operation of the facility shall not exceed 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. 3. Only the signage shown on the Greenhouse Design Plan shall be allowed. 4. All lighting for the use shall be supplied by existing parking lot lighting and supplemental interior lighting, if needed. 5. The applicant shall deposit funds with the City each year for the use of the fire hydrant in the parking lot and for the use of a hydrant wrench or adapter valve, if one is needed, in amounts to be decided by the Director of Public Works. Planning Commission Resolution 573-99 Page 3 6. The applicant will be charged the prevailing rate for 1,000 gallons of water per day for water service, to be paid by the applicant before any deposits are returned. 7. The applicant shall provide the following on an annual basis to the Director of Community Development: a. Letter of permission from property owner. b. Complete set of site plans c. Narrative description of the proposal. 8. This Conditional Use Permit may be reviewed by the City Council if any problems develop or if there are any changes to the operation deemed substantial enough to warrant such review, in the estimation of the Director of Community Development or the City Council. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Conditional Use Permit shall have no expiration date and shall remain in force so long as the conditions agreed upon herein are observed. BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Planning Commission directs staff to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes. • Adopted this 17th day of March, 1999.

N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEW'LANCOMM\3-17-99.MEM • i TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Introduction • The roadway system in Mounds View is in place. The system consists of state and county roads which function as principle and minor arterials and county and city roads which function as collector and local roads. Highway 10 runs diagonally through the middle of Mounds View and has historically been viewed as a barrier in the community. The jurisdiction of Highway 10 will be turned back from the state to Ramsey County in the near future. The city will develop a design theme to enhance the image of the Highway 10 corridor and work with the county to implement it. The emphasis in the future on local roads will be on road maintenance and replacement as necessary.Emphasis will also be placed on minimizing traffic levels as necessary in residential neighborhoods. The trail and pathway system is incomplete. The City will need to identify preferred future trail and pathway locations and construct them over time to provide recreational opportunities and a safe alternative travel mode to the automobile. • • 1 Goals and Policies The following will be the transportation goals and policies for the City of Mounds View: Goal 1: Develop a balanced surface transportation system giving attention to all modes and related facilities.

The major exception to this grid system is Highway 10 which cuts through the city on a diagonal from the northwest to the southeast. This results in angled intersections on Highway 10.No major street expansion projects are necessary or anticipated in the future. Some street extensions may occur to allow subdivision and development of existing large deep lots. Some street reconfigurations may also occur to manage traffic. Ongoing street maintenance and reconstruction will be required. Functional Classification: Functional classification is a system to establish the hierarchy of streets that collect and distribute traffic from residential neighborhoods to the metropolitan roadway system. The Metropolitan Council has established a functional classification system for the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The classifications include principal arterials, minor arterials (A and B), collector roadways, and local streets. The major characteristics of each of these classifications is summarized in Table_. The functional classification of roadways in Mounds View is shown in Figure . In Mounds View there are two roadways classified as principal arterials. These are Interstate 35W and Highway 10-62 (US Trunk Highway 118). A-minor arterials include Highway 10 , Old Highway 8, and Silver Lake Road. Collector roadways include County Roads H, H-2, and I, Long Lake Road, and the portion of Red Oak Drive north of Highway 10. The remaining roads are classified as local streets. • Jurisdiction: Roadways are also defined by the jurisdiction which has responsibility for the roadway. Figure_ shows the current jurisdiction of the roadways in Mounds View. In recent years functional jurisdiction of roadways has changed as street functions have been reevaluated. Portions of County Road H-2, County Road I, and Spring Lake Road will change from county roads to city streets in 1999. In July of 1999 the jurisdiction of Highway 10 in Mounds View is scheduled to change from the Minnesota Department of Transportation to Ramsey County. Traffic Accident Data: Figure_shows the locations of the recorded accidents during the years 1995 to 1997. During this three-year period there were a total of 514 accidents reported by either state, county or local enforcement agencies within Mounds View's municipal boundaries. Most of these accidents (233, or 45 percent) occurred on U.S. Trunk Highway 10,U.S. Trunk Highway 118 (47, or 9 percent) or along the county roads, such as County Road I (58, or 11.3 percent), Silver Lake Road(24, or 4.7 percent), or Long Lake Road(16, or 3.1 percent). The remaining 124 accidents were spread throughout the City. The majority of the accidents occurred at the intersections of roadways. The Intersections having the highest frequency of accidents were all on Highway 10: Highway 10 and County Road H J U m i� z c 0 y a O m m b1 pg� E - m oV c 0 m 0 x �:iO i98g '',5o��CC H q cal v F m ° viE Q?: ;.8.2.8 c . ;. q swS y m9 z� FQ m 521 2 m iGE7 8 U .b L*{ %J ON fn ABY, :opva c g a m U2mE m SU 7 'S cmm v m mo " d EdLi ° E E3 Ali Ili QdVII JE '1m amC aSW ° m va $ E :`- p O NcE.2 za oma L031,ErE ac « mFa !4 WO CCp Z E y ,-'C C m ...

(42), Highway 10 and County Road I (34), Highway 10 and Long Lake Road(21), Highway 10 • and Woodale (19) and Highway 10 and Groveland Road(19). All of these intersections are fully controlled, with the exception of Highway 10 and Groveland Road. Other areas of high accident frequency occurred at the junction of Highway 118 and Interstate 35W(24) and the convergence of the southbound exit ramp from 35W and Highway 10 (19),which is almost half of the reported accidents on Highway 10 south of County Road H to the southern boundary of the City. Regarding intersections not involving Highway 10, County Road I figured in five of the seven intersections having six or more reported accidents during the reporting period: County Road I and Quincy Street(13), County Road I and Adams Street(12), County Road I and Jackson Drive (9), Old Highway 8 and County Road H(9), County Road I and Long Lake Road(8), County Road I and Silver Lake Road (8), and County Road 1-12 and Long Lake Road(6). While all intersections and accident areas are of a concern to the City in terms of public safety of both motorists and pedestrians, Pinewood Elementary School is located at the corner of County Road I and Quincy Street, an intersection having a higher than average traffic flow in all directions. Special precaution should be taken to reduce accidents and to protect the safety of children in this area. While most reported accidents involved some type of vehicle to vehicle collision, 90 accidents-- or 18 percent--involved only one vehicle. Of these, 41 involved the striking of a fixed object, such as a sign post or traffic signal, 21 were roll-overs, 13 involved a deer, 8 involved a bicycle and 6 involved pedestrians. Of the 514 accidents reported in Mounds View, only one was fatal, while seven involved injuries considered incapacitating and 73 considered non-incapacitating.

Important regional trailway system that Mounds View has an opportunity to link to include the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Corridor. This corridor includes trailways through Centerville, Circle Pines, Shoreview, Arden Hills, Mounds View,New Brighton, Fridley, and finally connects to the Mississippi River Trail. The Rice Creek Trail is a joint effort between Anoka and Ramsey Counties. Mounds View lies in the middle of this corridor. Upon completion Mounds View would have access to the Centerville chain of lakes in one direction and the Mississippi River Trail in the other direction. The portion which is in Mounds View lies along Rice Creek and provides a link from the TCAAP (arsenal)property in Arden Hills to the Long Lake Regional Park in New Brighton. Ramsey County trailway connections include a route to downtown St. Paul through the City of Shoreview. The link to this trailway is on County Road I. Mounds View also has the opportunity to connect onto trailways leading to downtown Minneapolis via Silver Lake Road. Mounds View connections to this trailway would include Long lake Road/County Road H or a Groveland/Knollwood/Pleasant View Dr. route. Existing or proposed connections to adjacent communities include County Road I and County Road J connections to Shoreview, Long Lake Road, Silver lake Road, and Old Highway 8 connections to New Brighton, and County Road H, County Road H2 and County Road I connections to Fridley. Figure_shows the existing and proposed trails in Mounds View. The proposed Mounds View trailway system consists of a combination of arteries and connectors. County Roads H, H2, I, and J, Silver Lake Road,Long Lake Road, and Groveland Road(continuing with Knollwood Rd. South of Highway 10) serve as arteries for connecting streets and links to other trailway systems. Connectors include Ardan Avenue, Hillview Road, Bronson Drive, Edgewood Drive, Woodale Drive, Quincy Street,Mounds View Drive, and Pleasant View Drive. Trailways are not provided on every street. The trailways system is intended to provide accessibility to all areas of the City, making special provisions to provide access to schools,parks, business areas and the City Hall/Community Center area. Trailway priorities established in 1992 include: 1.

He encouraged the group to work together and to always put the City before their own interests. He believes that this is what made the commission that he worked on so good and so constructive over the years. He finished by saying that he would probably"poke his nose" in every now and then to add his two cents.

He added that even if the garage were within t"11,•wable square .i:•tage, the garage could not be larger than the house without a CUP. Mr. ;`,.10k, oted t 'is type of request is probably the most common CUP request received.

He noted that the house is 576 square feet and that the garage, at present, is smaller than the house. He expressed that one of the concerns is that the expansion would create a garage about one and a half times as large, close to 70 percent larger than the house. He added that the basis for this request was so that the property owner could store vehicles inside the garage rather than having them outside. • Mounds View Planning Commission February 17, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 4 • (Because Peg Meyer, Cable Committee Chairperson, was now present, the Commission agreed to hear her presentation regarding broadcasting of Planning Commission meetings on cable television). 8. tah Staff Reports/Items of Information Peg Meyer informed the Commission that cablecasting start on:,° pnl 1st o ;:1 16.

Mr. Ericson reminded the Commission that home occupations are a `49x # >s . '`'_'as certain criteria are met, most importantly that it does not detrimentally impact the neig .ors. Mr. Ericson informed the Commission that all the criteria regarding this CUP request have been met and that Staff felt that the benefit outweighs the impact of the proposal. The main concern is the significant size of the proposed garage. Mr. Ericson noted that the proposed resolution recommends approval to the City Council, however, there are stipulations attached to the resolution. Mr. Ericson addressed the concern regarding a business operating • from the garage and assured the Commission that the CUP could be revoked by the City Council in the event this occurred.

Mr. Ericson reminded the Commission that the Planning Commission in the past had two kinds of meetings: the agenda session, where items were discussed, and the regular meeting, • where items were acted upon. But because of state-mandated time constraints, the number of cases the City Council was actually dealing with, and to accommodate the applicants, the Planning Commission has been calling to order at every meeting. The Bylaws have been revised Mounds View Planning Commission February 17, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 6 io to denote that both the first and third Wednesdays of the month will be regular Planning Commission meetings and that special meetings could be held as needed.
