Meeting Conclusion Mourns 1ViEw City of Mounds View Staff Report To: From: Item Title/Subject: Item No: Meeting Date: Type of Business Planning Case 05A Nov 17, 2021 Planning Case MA2021-002 Planning Commission Jon Sevald, Community Development Director Resolution 1143-21, Recommending Approval of the Intent of the Mounds View Economic Development Authority to Sell Land, 4889, AND 4943 Old Highway 8 Introduction: The City intends to sell the former Skyline Motel property to a developer for redevelopment into a 120-unit affordable housing project, and a portion of the same property to Bio-Clean for a building expansion. Prior to the City selling property, Minnesota Statute' requires the Planning Commission to provide a recommendation to the City Council or Economic Development Authority (EDA) with Findings if the sale is compliant with the Comprehensive Plan. Discussion: In 1996, the City acquired 4943 Old Highway 8 for $70,000 for the purpose of realigning Old Highway 8. The home was removed, the road realigned, and the land has sat vacant since. The Skyline Motel was built in 1953. Between January 2015 and August 2019, the motel averaged 4.7 police calls per month, and created a negative impression as the city's gateway (Police calls included 30 proactive visits, 27 medical assists, 20 disorderly conducts, 16 assaults, 13 arrests, and 10 domestic disturbances, among others). In 2016, a developer had plans to purchase and demolish the motel, and redevelop the site as a four story, mixed -use complex with 61 apartment units affordable to families earning <50% of the Average Median Income (AMI)2, and offices for social services and non -profits. The project cost was estimated to be $15.7 million. In 2018 the development partnership dissolved, and the City was asked if it wanted to assume the Purchase Agreement. The EDA purchased the motel for $1.3 million, removed the buildings, and began marketing for redevelopment. At that time, industry experts suggested that the highest and best use was warehouse / manufacturing with outdoor storage. That type of user would not justify an equal return on the EDA's investment (now, $1.5 million). The industrial value is estimated at $5.00+/- p/sq ft. If selling all for industrial, the City would lose about half of its investment. In 2019, the EDA considered proposals for redevelopment, including; a hotel and warehouse; assisted living facility; apartment building; and self -storage facility. The EDA's preference was to combine the assisted living facility and apartment building projects on the City's site and adjacent land owned by Bauer Welding. In 2020, the developer of the assisted living facility withdrew their proposal due to market changes at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. In 2021, the EDA entered into a Predevelopment Agreement with a developer to sell the Skyline 1 Minnesota Statute §462.356, Subd 2 (Compliance with plan) 2 MN Housing Finance Agency, Table H: Projects Placed in Service between 3/6/2015 and 3/207/2016; Income Limits by Household Size (Ramsey County); <50% AMI = $36,750 (1-person household); $52,450 (4-person household). The mounus view Vision A Thriving Desirable Community Item 05A Page2of2 Motel site for $1.5 million contingent upon the developer obtaining public financing for the project (120-units of senior housing, with income ranges between <30% AMI — 60% AMI)3. The project's cost is estimated to be $29 million. The EDA also entered into a Predevelopment Agreement with Bio-Clean to sell a portion of land for their planned expansion. The City Council's position is to sell the property to break even on its investment, while obtaining a redevelopment project that will benefit the community; and to assist adjacent Bio- Clean and Bauer Welding with their planned expansions as much as possible. The proposed land sale(s) and development projects accomplishes this goal. Analysis: The Resolution includes detailed Findings in support of the land sale. In summary, the sale relates to redevelopment goals, adding households and population, and contributing towards needed affordable housing. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Continue BR&E program, maximize utilization of development space and current list of available sites, encourage land owners to maintain their properties, & consider residential redevelopment. Financial Impact: The EDA has agreed to sell land to Bio-Clean for $77,000; and to sell land to MWF Properties for $1,550,000. Both sales include conditions and contingencies (e.g. the apartments are dependent upon Tax Increment Financing from the Mounds View EDA, and bonding through the Minnesota Management and Budget office). The land sale will require a Public Hearing (date TBD). In addition to the sale, the subdivision will contribute about $426,000 in Park Dedication fees (current balance is about $176,000). Recommendation: Staff recommends approval.

Resolution 1140-21, Recommending Approval of a Conditional Use Permit for an Animal Boarding Facility at 5491 Adams Street Community Development Director Sevald stated Fedor's Market operated between 1961 and 2016. The property was sold in July, 2021. The owner; Andrei Bortnov (BBAK Ventures, LLC) is renovating the building for two tenants; a kennel boarding/training business (Paul Holt); and a furniture store. The applicant will use about 1,300 square feet of the 6,000 square feet building. There is planned to be up to ten dogs boarded at one time. Staff commented further on the request and recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit. Commissioner Monn requested the tenant come up and provide the Commission with more details regarding his plans. Paul Holt, 4315 Chasworth Street North in Shoreview, explained he would like to open a dog boarding and training business. He stated he would be boarding five dogs to start with in hopes of having as many as 10. He noted he would be using the outdoor area for dog exercise and bathroom. He reported the majority of his training would be conducted offsite at his clients' homes. Commissioner Monn questioned what type of training would be provided. Mr. Holt stated he provides dog obedience training onsite and specialized training would be provided in his clients' homes. Commissioner Monn inquired if dogs would be left alone overnight when boarded. Mr. Holt commented he has plans to grow his staff over time in order to provide 24 hour care for the boarded dogs. Commissioner Monn asked if the garage would remain in place. Community Development Director Sevald reported the garage would remain in place. Commissioner Monn requested further information regarding the proposed fence. Mr. Holt reviewed the proposed location of the fence and noted the chain link fence would be six feet in height. Commissioner Nelson questioned how old the existing garage building was. Andre Bortnov, property owner, explained the existing garage was approximately 15 years old and has some sort of composite siding. Mounds View Planning Commission November 3, 2021 Regular Meeting Page 3 Commissioner Nelson discussed the concerns he had regarding dog waste and how it would quickly impact the exercise/turf area on the property. He also feared that the dogs would be peeing on the garage siding. Mr. Holt stated the dogs would be taken out one at a time and could be kept away from the garage. Commissioner Nelson encouraged Mr. Holt to consider having concrete in the exercise area in order to assist with addressing the waste and odor concerns. Mr. Holt believed the natural grass was a better location for pet waste than concrete. Commissioner Munson stated overtime the pet waste would become an issue. She discussed products that were available to assist with cleaning surfaces while also neutralizing odors. Commissioner Monn recommended a ventilation system be put in place within the building. Mr. Bortnov reported he would be working with a contractor to ensure the building met all ventilation requirements. Commissioner Monn reported there was not a lot of space for parking on this property. Mr. Holt commented it would be rare that he would have two clients onsite at once. He indicated he was hoping to have a designated parking space for his clients. Mr. Bortnov reviewed the number of parking spaces on the property. Commissioner Monn recommended the fence along the apartment being wooden with chain link on the other sides. Mr. Holt stated he could talk to his contractor regarding this change. Commissioner Monn questioned if the property would have any landscaping. Mr. Holt explained one of his clients would be helping him with landscaping the building. Commissioner Monn inquired if Mr. Holt would have his own trash pickup. Mr. Holt reported this was the case. Commissioner Nelson expressed concern with the fact there would be no buffer zone in place noting this use could generate a great deal of noise given the fact the dogs were untrained. Mr. Holt stated he was planning to install acoustic tiles to assist with noise concerns. Commission Nelson supported there being a landscaping buffer in place between the dog kennel and the adjacent property. Further discussion ensued regarding the kennel operations. Commissioner Munson questioned what the typical length of stay would be for boarded dogs. Mr. Holt estimated this would be three to five days. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Monn/Commissioner Farmer. To approve Resolution 1140-21, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Conditional Use Permit for an Animal Mounds View Planning Commission November 3, 2021 Regular Meeting Page 4 Boarding Facility at 5491 Adams Street requiring a six to eight foot solid fence along the apartment side of the property along with a landscaping buffer. Ayes — 6 Nays — 0 Motion carried. B. Resolution 1141-21, Recommending Approval of the Preliminary and Final Plat of Skyline; and Zoning Map Amendment; Planned Unit Development; Development Review; and Wetland Alteration Permit for The Villas of Mounds View Community Development Director Sevald stated the applicant, The Villas of Mounds View, LP (MWF Properties) is proposing to redevelop the former Skyline Motel into The Villas of Mounds View, consisting of a 120-unit apartment building. The project will feature senior (55+), affordable housing. The project has two parts; (1) subdivision; and (2) everything else. For the purposes of the Planning Commission, both are grouped into one resolution. They will be separated for the City Council's public hearings. The subdivision is applicable to both The Villas and Bio-Clean, whereas "everything else" is applicable to The Villas only. Community Development Director Sevald reported specific to the Subdivision, there are a number of revisions necessary. Staff's intent is for the Developer to complete necessary items prior to the City Council's November 22nd Public Hearing, and for the Subdivision to be approved with conditions requiring administrative review/approval. This is necessary to keep the project on schedule for applying for financial assistance from the State by January, 2022. Community Development Director Sevald explained the plat; Skyline, will combine four parcels into Lot 1 for The Villas of Mounds View (apartment building), and will add land onto the Bio- Clean property (Lot 2). Bio-Clean installs industrial washing equipment into the backs of straight trucks (large cargo vans), and has been at this location since 1981. Bio-Clean is planning a building addition within 2-3 years. Depending on the size of the addition, it is likely it will require a Development Review at that time (not now). Bio-Clean previously received a Variance to reduce the rear yard building setback, from 40' to 30' (Resolution 420-95), and a Development Review in 2004 for a building expansion (Resolution 6283). Staff commented further on the request and recommended tabling action to the November 17, 2021 meeting to allow for additional information to be submitted to staff. Peter Worthington, MWF Properties, thanked staff for the thorough staff report. He explained he was available for comments or questions. Commissioner Monn asked how the shared driveway would work between three different entities. Mr. Worthington stated the property would have a shared access easement on the north side and noted MWF would be responsible for plowing the driveway. Commissioner Nelson questioned if the stormwater collection area would be fenced. Mr. Worthington commented he was not planning to fence this area. Mounds View Planning Commission November 3, 2021 Regular Meeting Page 5 Commissioner Nelson inquired where snow would be pushed and stored during the winter months. Mr. Worthington reviewed the location where snow would be stored noting if the piles grew too large and had to be trucked off site, this would be done. Commissioner Monn questioned if the County approved of the new access point. Mr. Worthington reported the County had reviewed and approved the new access point. He noted the County did not recommend a right hand turn lane. Commissioner Monn asked if alternative siding types had been considered instead of vinyl siding. Mr. Worthington stated the building would use a vinyl lap siding that comes with a 50 year warranty, along with a cement fiber board product. He then discussed why the proposed color palette was chosen, and displayed examples of the two products. Commissioner Monn requested further information regarding the proposed amenities. Mr. Worthington reviewed the amenities that would be included in the senior housing complex. Commissioner Monn recommended the applicant plant pollinator friendly seed versus prairie seed on this property. Mr. Worthington stated he had no issue with that. Commissioner Monn suggested a grilling and picnic area be considered in the greenspace. Mr. Worthington reported this may be difficult because this area was sloped and included a wetland. Commissioner Nelson questioned how the property manager would ensure the occupancy standards were being followed. Terry Parker, 1961 Silver Street in Waconia, explained HUD occupancy standards would have to be followed for these affordable housing units. Commissioner Nelson stated he did not believe this was typical senior housing because only one resident within the unit had to be 55+. He feared this building could have a lot of children within its units. Ms. Parker discussed how the definition of a "senior" has changed over time and commented on the federal HUD requirements for senior housing. Commissioner Monn asked how the applicant would keep people from subleasing units from their grandparents. Ms. Parker stated this was no different than what can occur at any other apartment complexes. She reported subleasing was not allowed and noted cameras would be installed everywhere. Chair Rundle encouraged the applicant to make it very clear to its future tenants that children could be living within these units. Commissioner Farmer inquired how the mixing of vehicles and truck traffic along the shard access would be addressed. Community Development Director Sevald recommended this be addressed in the shared access agreement. Mounds View Planning Commission November 3, 2021 Regular Meeting Page 6 Commissioner Nelson questioned if the senior units would be leased for one year at a time. Ms. Parker stated this was the case. Commissioner Monn recommended at least two parking spaces be required for the senior housing development. Community Development Director Sevald commented this has been deemed excessive for senior housing projects. He reported after researching the parking requirements for other communities, staff supports the site having a parking ratio of 1.5 spaces per unit. Further discussion ensued regarding the mix of apartment units and the need for more mass transit bus routes in Mounds View. Commissioner Monn asked if the TIF request would be discussed at this meeting. Community Development Director Sevald discussed the TIF request at a very high level. He noted this projects qualifies for TIF because it was offering affordable housing. Commissioner Monn expressed concern with the fact this project would not be providing taxes to the community to cover municipal expenses. Community Development Director Sevald stated after 26 years, the site would be paying full property taxes. He indicated this project could not move forward if not for TIF. Commissioner Monn requested further information regarding the green initiatives that would be pursued for this building. Mr. Worthington discussed the green initiatives that would be included in this development. Commissioner Farmer explained the area was changing and questioned if New Brighton had plans for more development in the Northwest Quadrant. Community Development Director Sevald explained a hotel had been discussed, but noted some of the properties require a great deal of soil correction, which has made development difficult. Commissioner Nelson asked if a lighting plan had been submitted by the applicant. Mr. Worthington stated he would be submitting a lighting plan to staff. Commissioner Nelson indicated he could support the vinyl siding remaining on the building because it came with a 50 year warranty. Commissioner Monn questioned if there were any concerns with runoff coming from the Bio- Clean property to the senior housing. Greg Kelly, 3038 Rodeo Drive in Blaine, stated his only concern was with the elevation of the parking lot. He questioned if the hill would remain in place noting he could install a retaining wall. Mr. Worthington reported both properties would have to meet stormwater requirements and this concern would be addressed. Commissioner Nelson explained this was a unique solution to a lot of small properties. Mounds View Planning Commission November 3, 2021 Regular Meeting Page 7 MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Monn. To table action on the Preliminary and Final Plat of Skyline; and Zoning Map Amendment; Planned Unit Development; Development Review; and Wetland Alteration Permit for The Villas of Mounds View because the Planning Commission did not have sufficient information on the lighting plan or Preliminary Plat. The motion failed for lack of a second. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Munson/Commissioner Nelson. To approve Resolution 1141-21, a Resolution Recommending Approval of the Preliminary and Final Plat of Skyline; and Zoning Map Amendment; Planned Unit Development; Development Review; and Wetland Alteration Permit for The Villas of Mounds View as amended noting Ply -Gem vinyl siding would be allowed. Ayes — 5 Nays — 1 (Monn) Motion carried. 6. Reports A. Resolution 1142-21, Recommending 2022-2024 Appointments to the Planning and Zoning Commission Community Development Director Sevald stated the Mounds View Planning Commission consists of seven Mounds View residents who are not elected officials. Commission members are appointed by the City Council based upon recommendations made by the Commission, to three-year terms. The Commission currently has three members whose terms expire on December 31, 2021 (French, Monn, and Nelson). The City solicited applications from the public to serve on advisory commissions, including the Planning Commission. The City received five applications for the Commission. Some of the applicants were in attendance, and were invited to introduce themselves. Marcus Curtis, 7660 Spring Lake Road, explained he applied to serve after his street improvement project came before the City for consideration, noting he became very involved in this process. He stated he and his wife moved to Mounds View back in May of 2021. He reported he appreciated this community, the school district and he wanted to see the community continue to grow and be stable. Commissioner Nelson stated he served on the Planning Commission previously, 15 years ago and noted he served on the first comprehensive plan committee and was an inaugural member of the EDC. He reported he had to step away for a time due to church commitments, but came back because he really enjoys serving in this capacity. Commissioner French explained he enjoyed serving on the Planning Commission, being a part of the City and its processes. The Commission voted and recommended Jason French, Marcus Curtis and Danny Nelson be recommended for appointment to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mounds View Planning Commission November 3, 2021 Regular Meeting Page 8 B. Upcoming Planning Cases & Activity Community Development Director Sevald stated there were no upcoming planning cases. C. Staff Updates Community Development Director Sevald provided the Commission with an update from staff. He explained staff has been spending a great deal of time working on the Skyline project. It was his hope the project would be considered and approved by the Council on November 22. He noted the Planning Commission would be meeting in December to set meeting dates for 2022 and to recommend a Chair and Vice -Chair. D. Council Updates Council Member Meehlhause provided the Planning Commission with an update from the City Council. He stated the Council approved the 90% design plan for the 2022-2023 street improvement project to allow the plans to be submitted to MnDOT for review. He reviewed the items that were discussed at the recent worksession meeting which included a potential round about at County Road I and Spring Lake Road. He noted an expansion of the Community Center was also discussed. Commissioner Farmer requested an update on the Sustainability Commission. Council Member Meehlhause reported the City has not received any applicants for this Commission to date. E. Planning Commissioner Reports Commissioner Nelson stated he was pleased with the fact he had 30 kids at his door for Halloween this year. He suggested the City or Police Department consider sponsoring a Trunk or Treat event next year. 8. Approval of Minutes October 6, 2021. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Monn/Commissioner Farmer.
