REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
• Meeting Date: December 1, 1999
Staff Report by: James Ericson, Planning Associate
Planning Case No.: 574-99, 575-99
Request: The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit and
Development Review to expand the Church by adding office space
and classrooms.
Petitioner: Vanman Companies representing Sunrise United Meth. Church
Location: 7687 Long Lake Road
PIN No. 08-30-23-22-0038
Present Zoning/Land Use: R-1, Single Family Residential/Church
Applicable Regulations: Section 1006.06 states that a development review is required for all
residential, commercial or industrial development or redevelopment.
Section 1106.04, Subd 1 lists the CUP requirements for Churches
and other public or semi-public institutional uses.
•
Section 1125.01 lists the general CUP and adverse affects criteria.
Section 1121.13 lists the parking requirements for Churches and all
other types of uses. -
Background:
The applicant, Vanman Companies, representing the property owner, Sunrise United Methodist
Church, is requesting approval of a conditional use permit and development review to allow for the
expansion of their Church facility located at 7687 Long Lake Road. The expanded areas will serve
as additional space within the sanctuary and child care areas, will provide for office space for the
pastor and other church workers and will add a meeting room and multi-use space for the staff and
congregation.
The expansion areas will be of brick construction and will match the exterior of the existing
building. The total area of the expansion planned is 7,477 square feet for a total build out area of
20,464 after project completion. There will be a new covered entryway that connects to a new
drop-off point adjacent to the parking lot, an expansion and reorientation of the worship area to
increase seating capacity to 368 from the existing 275. In addition, there will be an expansion to
accommodate additional space for Sunday school services. A kitchen area will be added along
with some multi-purpose space, conference rooms, and office space for the Pastor and Church
• staff There will not be an increase in services provided by the facility other than being able to
accommodate more members in the sanctuary at a single service.

CUP Discussion:
The specific CUP requirements, which appear in Section 1106.04 of the Zoning Code, relate to the
appropriate front and side yard setbacks, minimum lot size, screening and parking requirements.
As stated and discussed at the Planning Commission on November 17, 1999, all of the specific
requirements for the Church facility are met.
As is the case with every conditional use permit application, the Planning Commission and City
Council are to consider a set of general requirements and address the adverse effects of the
proposal, if any. In this case, all of the general requirements, which appear in Section 1125.01,
Subd. 3b, are sufficiently addressed and satisfied. The Church, which has existed in this location
since 1957, provides a desired service to the residents of Mounds View and the surrounding
communities. To staff's knowledge, there are no problems or issues directly relating to the
operation of Sunrise Church. The use does not present any known adverse impacts to any
adjoining properties or to the community in general.
Given these conclusions, staff believes the granting of a conditional use permit for the Sunrise
United Methodist Church would be appropriate.
Development Review Discussion: •
Dimensional Requirements:
Required Proposed Met?
Lot Area 1 acre 6.4 acres Met
Front Setback(Long Lake) 35 feet 75 feet Met
Front Setback(County Rd. I) 35 feet 47 feet Met
Sideyard Setbacks 30 feet 105 feet Met
Parking lot Setback(east) 30 feet 60 feet Met
Parking lot Setback(west) 5 feet 2 feet (existing) No
Parking lot Setback-(north) 5-feet 80 feet Met
Parking lot Setback(south) 5 feet 400+feet Met
Parking stalls (1:4): 92 stalls 98 stalls Met
As can be seen, other than the exception of the non-conforming parking lot setback, all of the
dimensional requirements for this facility are satisfied. In terms of the parking lot setback, because
(1) this is a pre-existing condition, (2)because the parking lot will not be altered in any way, and
(3)because the extent of the non-conformity will not be changing, staff recommends that the non-
conforming setback be allowed to continue until such time that the parking lot is reconstructed or
repaved. A.stipulation indicating as much is present in the resolution recommending approval.

Parking:
The seating capacity of the worship area is increasing by nearly 100 seats, from 275 to 368. Using
the required ratio of 1 space per every 4 seats, 92 stalls would need to be provided. At present
there are 98 stalls in the parking lot which would be adequate to accommodate the expansion.
Wetland Buffer:
The construction and expansion activities on the site will not encroach into the 100-foot wetland
buffer, thus no permits of that sort are necessary.
Landscaping:
While there are no explicit plans showing proposed landscaping, the Church does plan on replacing
the landscaping to be removed with similar materials. Because the extent of the expansion is
minimal considering the total lot area, and because there is already extensive landscaping provided
that would remain after the expansion, staff is not requiring the applicant to submit anything formal
in this regard.
1111 Recommendation:
Based on the discussions and direction given from the Commission's previous meeting on
November 17, 1999 and the information presented herein, staff believes that the criteria for
granting both a conditional use permit and development review are met and as such has drafted for
the Planning Commission's action Resolution 598-99.

A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW REQUEST FOR SUNRISE UNITED
METHODIST CHURCH LOCATED AT 7687 LONG LAKE ROAD;
PLANNING CASE NO. 574-99.
WHEREAS, Vanman Companies, representing Sunrise United Methodist Church, has
applied for a conditional use permit and development review to expand the Church facility located
at 7687 Long Lake Road; and,
WHEREAS,the subject property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, is designated as
a "Church" use on the Comprehensive Plan and is legally described as follows:
The west 388.5 feet of that part of the NW% of the NW % of
Section 8, Township 30, Range 23, lying North of the North Line of
II/
the South 15 acres thereof.subject to County Road I and Long Lake Road.
WHEREAS, according to Section 1006.06 of the Mounds View Municipal Code, any new
construction or expansion of existing facilities requires the approval of a development review; and,
WHEREAS, according to Section 1106.04 of the Mounds View Zoning Code, churches

exception of an existing two-foot non-conforming parking lot setback adjacent to Long Lake Road;
and, •

Page 2
WHEREAS, The Mounds View Planning Commission acknowledges the presence of
wetlands on the Church property yet finds that the areas of building expansion fall outside of the
100-foot buffer surrounding the wetland; and,
WHEREAS, the site plans date-stamped 10/29/99 indicate that the existing Church area
of 13,000 square feet will be increased by approximately 7,500 square feet for a total build-out
area of 20,500 square feet; and,
WHEREAS, according to said plans, the seating capacity of the worship area will increase
from 275 to accommodate 368 people; and,
WHEREAS, there are 98 parking stalls presently available on the site which, according
to Section 1121.13 of the Mounds View Zoning Code, exceeds the minimum number of stalls
required to be provided for 368 seats; and,
WHEREAS, The Mounds View Planning Commission has considered the specific criteria
for Churches and other institutional use facilities as they appear in Section 1106.04, Subdivision 1
• and finds that they are met; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has considered the provisions from
Section 1125.01(1)e of the Zoning Code regarding possible adverse effects of the proposed use and
makes the following findings:
(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.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as "Church", which is consistent with the R-1 zoning
of this site. Sunrise Church, which has existed at this location for more than 40 years, provides a
desired service to the residents of the City and neighboring communities. The property is bordered
by public streets on its west, north and south boundaries and bordered by medium and high density
residential on its east side. The proposed expansion would be in keeping with the existing design and
architecture and would not detract from the character of the surrounding area.
WHEREAS,The Mounds View Planning Commission makes the following findings that the
general criteria for CUP approval in Subdivision 1125.01 (2) have been met:
• (1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public
facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area.
It is not expected that the expansion of this use will have any impact on parks, schools, streets
Planning Commission Resolution 598-99
December 1, 1999 •
Page 3
and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area.
(2) The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent
residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and there will
be no deterrence to development ofvacant land.
The Church property is bordered on three sides by public streets--Long Lake Road to the
west, County Road Ito the north and Bronson Drive to the south. To the east, the Church
abuts both medium and high density residential properties. These properties are at least one
hundred feet away at their nearest point and as far away as 500 feet from the Church. The
magnitude of the separation, in staff opinion, is of a sufficient distance so as to not have any
depreciatory effect on the residential properties.
(3) The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon
adjacent residential properties.
The existing Church, given its separation from other uses, fits well in this area and is
aesthetically pleasing. As evidence of this, the Church and the architect who designed it
received an award in 1967 for architectural excellence from the Minnesota Society of
Architects. The expansion will match the appearance and design of the existing structure and
will add to the overall appearance of the community. •
(4) The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the City
and to the existing land use.
The fact that the Church has existed in this location for 42 years with a consistent and
growing congregation is proof alone that the use satisfies a community need. Its expansion
is a direct result of the Church's growing congregation and its desire to be more responsive
to its membership.
(5)—The-use is consistent-with the purposes-of--the-Zoning-Code-and-tke purpose-s-af-the-zoning-district
in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use.
Churches and other institutional uses are conditionally permitted within the R-1, Single-family
residential district.
(6) The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as a"Church" use. Churches and other
institutional uses are conditionally permitted within the R-1, Single-family residential district.
(7) The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion.
Staff is unaware of anycongestionproblems on LongLake Road as a result of the Church's •
g
services. The additional traffic generated by the expansion would not add any significant
Planning Commission Resolution 598-99
December 1, 1999
Page 4
volume to Long Lake Road,a Ramsey County four lane collector roadway, a street designed
to accommodate higher volumes of traffic. Also, the times during which the Church would
have its greatest impact upon the street is also a period of relatively low traffic counts. Given
these facts, it is not anticipated that use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion.
(8) Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be
provided.
All of the infrastructure serving this site are installed and provided--no additional
infrastructure will be needed to accommodate this use or its expansion.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission,
finding that all of the requirements have been met, does hereby recommend that the City Council
approve a conditional use permit and development review for the operation and expansion of the
Sunrise United Methodist Church as requested by Vanman Companies, with the following
stipulations:
1. The design and character of the expanded areas shall match and complement the existing
410 architecture of the Church.
2. The existing non-conforming parking lot setback shall be allowed to persist until such time
that the parking lot is reconstructed or resurfaced and the non-conformity can be
corrected.
3. Two additional parking stalls shall be marked and posted as "handicapped" to comply with
ADA requirements.
4. The applicant shall be responsible for recording the City Council resolution of approval
with Ramsey County within 60 days of final approval.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission directs Staff
to forward this Resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes.

MEMO
To: Mounds View Planning Commission,
From: Rick Jopke, Community Development Director
Subject: TOLD Proposal for Videen Property and City Remnant Parcel
Date: November 24, 1999
On November 17, 1999 the Planning Commission reviewed a development concept presented by
TOLD Development Co.to construct a Walgreens store on the property south of the Mounds
View Community Center currently owned by Mr. Videen. TOLD is requesting that the City trade
the approximately 1 1/2 acre remnant parcel created by the realignment of Edgewood Dr. for
approximately 7.4 acres of the eastern portion of the Videen site. A major portion of the 7.4 acres
• is wetland.
The Planning Commission directed staff to prepare a resolution in support of the concept for
consideration at the December 1, 1999 meeting. Staff has drafted the attached resolution for
Planning Commission consideration.
REQUESTED ACTION: It is requested that the Planning Commission pass a resolution
indicating general support or nonsupport of the TOLD concept for the use of the Videen property
and the adjacent city owned parcel.

CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING TOLD DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT AND PROPOSED
LAND SWAP
WHEREAS,the Mounds View City Council has asked the Planning Commission to
review the TOLD Development Co. concept for the Videen parcel and city owned remnant
parcel; and
WHEREAS,the Planning Commission has reviewed the TOLD Development Co.
(TOLD)proposal and made the following findings:
1. The proposed retail/restaurant/clinic land uses if designed properly are
compatible with surrounding land uses. TOLD has indicated a willingness
to design the structures and use building materials which are consistent
with adjacent buildings.
2. The proposed development is isolated from residential uses. •
3. The proposed land use is consistent with the future land use designation of
the site as shown in the draft comprehensive plan currently being reviewed
by the Planning Commission.
4. The proposed use is consistent with the current zoning of the Videen
property. Rezoning of the city remnant parcel would be required.
5. TOLD is willing to relocate the stormwater holding pond on the remnant
parcel at their expense.
6. TOLD is willing to trade approximately 7.4 acres of land for
approximately 1.5 acres of land. The City could use the 7.4 acres of land
to protect the existing wetland,to provide additional recreational
opportunities, and to provide stormwater improvements.
7. TOLD is willing to contribute towards the cost of recreational
improvements on the 7.4 acre parcel.
8. TOLD will attempt to have the existing billboard removed.
9. The Park and Recreation Commission has indicated general support of the
TOLD proposal.
10. The TOLD proposal is the best that has been presented and the developer
is willing to work with the city to address all issues.
11. The Planning Commission is concerned that the proposal could result in
additional city maintenance expenses.
•
• NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission
supports the TOLD concept and would support the proposed land swap. Approval of any specific
development proposal should be through the normal city development review process after any
required public hearings are held. The Planning Commission reserves the right to make
additional specific recommendations through this process.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Planning Commission directs staff to forward this
resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes.
