Motion was made by Commissioner Witte and seconded by Commissioner Boo, to approve the
Consent Agenda as amended moving items 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 to New Business. With all
Commissioners voting in favor, the motion carried.
Public Hearings
(5.1) 2021 – 2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) (20200081).
City Engineer LaBounty reviewed the staff report.
Commissioner Boo asked if there were controversial items to be aware of that were on the list or
were left off the list.
City Engineer LaBounty replied that because the city has a 10-year plan it is planned out longer
than most communities. He stated that he could not think of controversial projects but noted that
projects shift from year to year to ensure proper timing using a parks project as an example that
shifted from 2021 to 2022.
Commissioner Jones stated that she is pleased that design work for County Road 47 is on the list.
She asked about new trails and where some of the trail repairs are proposed to occur. She also
asked about energy savings and if there are related projects on the list.
City Engineer LaBounty replied that beyond the new trails there is funding for repair of trails.
He noted that the list is still being finalized based on pavement ratings. He noted that some trail
segments will be repaired with related road improvement projects. He highlighted the
automation of the city hall HVAC system, which is an energy savings project.
Commissioner Oakley asked if any projects were changed because of COVID-19. He suggested
that there be an increase to the funds allocated for trail maintenance as he believes that has been
underfunded and there are a number of trails in poor condition.
City Engineer LaBounty replied that the city is in a healthy position to continue to move forward
with street, trail, and utility projects. He noted that there have been some facility related projects
which have been accelerated due to COVID and provided an example of automated doors at a
facility location.
Commissioner Witte asked if there is a system to evaluate the trail system that is used to
determine the necessary improvements.
City Engineer LaBounty replied that the trail system is managed by the parks and recreation
department. He stated that prior to last year the program was reactive but a comprehensive study
was completed earlier this year to rate the condition of all the trails and sidewalks and determine
a maintenance schedule.
Chair Anderson asked if more land was acquired for Horseshoe Park.

Proposed Minutes November 4, 2020
City Engineer LaBounty replied that there are still two undeveloped parcels east of that land. He
confirmed that there is a plan to increase the size of Horseshoe Park when the adjacent land
develops. He stated that if the land is not developed within the next year, part of the park could
be constructed on the land currently dedicated for park or the project could be shifted.
Chair Anderson asked the status on the possible turnback of County Road 47.
City Engineer LaBounty replied that there are ongoing conversations with the county related to
the ownership of County Road 47. He recognized that it is an important corridor that needs
improvement in the near future. He stated that the city will move forward with design plans with
the hope that funding can be worked out with the county.
Chair Anderson Opened the Public Hearing.
Chair Anderson Closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Witte asked for details on the park land acquisition budget and how those funds
would be used.
City Engineer LaBounty stated that he is not aware if there are specific parcels in mind for those
funds. He provided an example of when those funds could be used.
Commissioner Witte asked for details on the Autumn Hills lift station and whether that would be
related to the Hollydale project.
City Engineer LaBounty answered that the lift station has been on the radar for many years. He
explained that it is a temporary lift station that would be removed once a permanent connection
was made. He explained what the developer would be required to do if the Hollydale project
were approved, noting that the lift station would still need to be abandoned.
Motion was made by Commission Oakley, and seconded by Commissioner Witte, to approve the
2021 – 2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and forward comments to the City Council.
With all Commissioners voting in favor, the motion carried.
(5.2) Conditional Use Permit request by Glen Lincoln Partners LLC to allow the
operation of a tire service business at 15600 34th Avenue North (2020075).
Senior Planner Berglund reviewed the staff report.
Commissioner Witte asked if there is a condition related to adequate parking for vehicle drop off
and pick up.
Senior Planner Berglund replied that the proposed business would use a vacant tenant space and
the applicant is not requesting additional service bays or anything beyond what is already in the
vacant space. He stated that parking was reviewed when the building was constructed,and staff
has not received complaints that would lead them to believe the site does not have adequate
parking.

Proposed Minutes November 4, 2020
Commissioner Jones stated that she visited the site and while there are open spaces, people often
park in the street because it is tight when driving around the site. She asked where deliveries
would occur and how used tires would be picked up from the building. She also asked if the new
and used tires would be stored inside the building. She commented that there is a dumpster
located on the opposite side of the building from this tenant location and not on this side of the
building. She noted that it appears that one of the building tenants uses residential trash
containers.
Senior Planner Berglund agreed that it seems that some tenants generate more parking than
others and perhaps the management can better distribute that parking. He noted that there are no
changes proposed for the drive aisles. He stated that staff is not aware of any complaint related
to trash enclosures at this site. He commented that there is a condition related to outdoor storage
that states no outdoor storage of parts, equipment or inoperable vehicles is allowed.
Commissioner Oakley asked if an evaluation of the existing uses of the site was completed to
determine the parking requirement.
Senior Planner Berglund answered that the building was approved as a commercial center which
requires parking for the square footage within the building, therefore changes are not made based
upon use.
Commissioner Oakley asked if the uses in the building and proposed use would meet the
requirements within the code today.
Senior Planner Berglund replied that the number of parking spaces currently provided would
meet the shopping center category of the zoning ordinance. He noted that staff could provide
that report to the council, if desired.
Chair Anderson noted that this request is for a portion of the building and therefore the
commission is not reviewing the entire building and its uses and/or parking requirements.
Community Development Director Juetten commented that city center is designed to allow
shared parking throughout along with on-street parking. He noted that this is simply a request to
replace an existing tenant space with a new tenant and therefore does not drive a need for
additional parking.
Chair Anderson introduced John Day, Glen Lincoln Partners LLC., who stated that the unit is
currently being cleaned and the residential trash enclosures are being used for that purpose but
would normally be within the enclosure. He also provided an update on other tenants and their
trash enclosures. He provided details on the indoor storage and racking that would be used for
tires. He stated that he has seen a semi make deliveries to another tenant in the building but
would think that short box type trucks would provide deliveries.
Commissioner Witte asked if the applicant understands and agrees with the conditions as
proposed.
Mr. Day confirmed that he understands and agrees to the conditions.

Motion was made by Commission Witte, and seconded by Commissioner Oakley, to approve the
conditional use permit request by Glen Lincoln partners LLC to allow the operation of a tire
service business at 15600 34th Avenue North subject to the conditions in the staff report. With all
Commissioners voting in favor, the motion carried.
New Business
(4.2) (Moved from Consent Agenda) Site plan amendment for new Fire Station II at 12000
Old Rockford Road (2020079).
(4.3) (Moved from Consent Agenda) Site plan amendment for building addition at Fire
Station III, 3300 Dunkirk Lane (2020080).
Fleet and Facilities Manager Hanson presented an overview of the two fire station projects.
Commissioner Jones asked about the size of the driveway for the main access to Larch Lane for
Fire Station II. She asked if the driveway could be wide at the building and narrow at the street.
She stated that for both proposals, the fire stations have pristine natural surroundings, and asked if
more native plantings could be included that fit with the natural habitat surrounding the buildings.
She noted that the sites could be used as an example of what could be done to support natural
habitat, using the example of the Eden Prairie fire station site.
Deputy Chief Dreelan provided information on the driveway width and the need to accommodate
large fire vehicle movements.
Commissioner Jones agreed that the lack of distance between the front of the building and road
does require a wider driveway.
Quinn Hutson, CNH Architects, agreed that this site is surrounded by nice natural areas and
presented details of the landscaping plan. He agreed that they could look into more native
plantings.
Commissioner Jones referenced the area near the wetland and commented that she would want to
see vegetation replaced if removed.
Mr. Hutson provided details on the stormwater ponding and infiltration area. He stated that the
goal has been to make that more formal looking rather than native planting because it is the front
entrance view along Larch.
Commissioner Jones recognized that while that is commonly what is done, she would prefer to see
native plants used. She noted that native plants typically have roots that better encourage
8

Proposed Minutes November 4, 2020
infiltration. She stated that this is an opportunity to provide something that better improves the
wetland and its functions.
Fleet and Facilities Manager Hanson stated that she will work with CNH and City Forester Paul
Buck to further discuss landscaping and plantings within this area.
Commissioner Oakley asked if the city has a policy on pursuing LEED certification on city
facilities. He also asked if other cities have LEED certification policies.
Community Development Director Juetten replied that the city does not have a policy of that
nature. He noted that the city attempts to balance the desire for sustainability with cost.
Mr. Hutson stated that one of the project goals was to focus on sustainability and reviewed some
of those elements that were added to the design. He stated that they have experience with other
municipalities and there is not a city they have worked with that has a LEED policy or certification
and instead focus on the potential to be sustainable in a cost-effective manner.
Commissioner Witte commented that these are very attractive buildings. He asked if any of the
rooms would be available for the public when not in use by the public safety department.
Deputy Chief Dreelan replied that traditionally they have allowed smaller groups to use meeting
rooms when appropriate and did not believe there would be a reason to discontinue that, as long
as staffing supports that. He stated that currently they are not allowing meetings in the building
because of COVID concerns.
Motion was made by Commissioner Jones, and seconded by Commissioner Boo, to approve site
plan amendment for new Fire Station II at 12000 Old Rockford Road and site plan amendment for
building addition at Fire Station III, 3300 Dunkirk Lane adding a condition asking City Staff and
the architect review natural landscaping options that better blend the site to its natural surrounding
and include options in the City Council staff report for City Council consideration. With All
Commissioners voting in favor, the motion carried.
(4.4) (Moved from Consent Agenda) Site plan amendment and variance request for
parking lot changes and related site improvements at 10300 10
th Avenue (2020064).
Commissioner Jones stated that she shares a similar concern for this site as she does with the fire
station sites, as this site is surrounded by forest and wetland. She commented that it seems that
the landscaping plan would benefit from something more unique. She stated that perhaps instead
of trees, shrubbery or plantings are allowed that is more fitting to the site.
Senior Planner Berglund agreed that this site is surrounded by high quality wetland and noted that
certain setbacks were required because of the relationship to the wetlands. He reviewed the
proposed project details within the staff report.
Commissioner Jones asked if shrubs could be allowed in lieu of tree replacement.

Proposed Minutes November 4, 2020
Senior Planner Berglund identified the trees proposed to be removed, noting that three of the four
trees are within the interior of the parking lot. He stated that the applicant would be responsible
to replace those four trees. He noted that the code allows equivalency in replacement, but the
applicant has not proposed that.
Chair Anderson introduced Patrick Sarver, Civil Site Group, who described the project and how
they were able to expand the parking area while minimizing the increase in impervious surface.
He stated that the property owner can continue to enhance the landscaping around the site.
Chair Anderson introduced Chris Kane, owner of 10300 10th Avenue, who commented that he
loves the building and its surroundings. He commented that they are very conscious of their
surroundings and the animals within that habitat. He stated that they are only asking to optimize
what they already have without adding surface area to the lot.
Motion was made by Commissioner Witte, and seconded by Commissioner Jones to approve site
plan amendment and variance request for parking lot changes and related site improvements at
10300 10th Avenue with the added condition that the applicant consider landscape planting
equivalent options. With All Commissioners voting in favor, the motion carried.
Chair Anderson adjourned the meeting at 8:57 p.m.

File 2020062
Page 2
ANALYSIS OF REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting a site plan
amendment to upgrade and add to the
exterior lighting on the Ryerson Inc.
property.
Currently, there is one light pole in the
parking lot, a façade light, and 30 wall-
packs located around the building on the
site. Under the plan, the existing light pole,
façade light, and wall-mounted fixtures
would be replaced in the same locations.
The existing light pole is located in the
north parking lot and is proposed to be
replaced with a LED fixture, new pole and
base. The applicant is proposing three
additional light poles to be located on the east side of the building to provide lighting for the east
parking lot. The applicant states that the proposed upgrade is necessary in order to improve the
safety of the parking lot and provide better lighting on the site.
Section 21105.6 of the zoning ordinance contains specific standards for approval of a site plan
amendment that includes exterior lighting. The subject property is located in the LZ2 (lighting
zone 2 – moderate ambient lighting). Staff has reviewed the application with these standards and
summarized them as follows:
North Parking Lot Light
East Parking Lot
14
File 2020062
Page 3
Lighting – LZ2 Required Proposed Meets/Exceeds
Mounting height 30 feet - maximum 30 Yes
Lumens 2.5 lumens/square feet of
hardscape - maximum
1.05 Yes
Backlight B4 - maximum B2 Yes
Uplight U0 - allowed U0 Yes
Glare G2 - maximum G2 Yes
CRI (color-rendering index)70 - minimum 73 Yes
CCT (correlated color temperature)4100K - maximum 4000K Yes
Shielding Yes Yes Yes
Additional explanation on lumens, shielding and lighting controls are as follows:
Lumens
LZ2 allows a maximum base allowance of 2.5 lumens per square feet of hardscape. The submitted
plans propose a 1.05 lumens per square feet of hardscape, consistent with zoning ordinance
standards. Hardscape is defined as “permanent hardscape improvements to the site including
parking lots, drives, entrances, curbs, ramps, stairs, steps, medians, walkways and non-vegetated
landscaping that is 10 feet or less in width. Materials may include concrete, asphalt, stone, gravel,
etc.”
Shielding
Section 21105.06 of the zoning ordinance specifies that luminaires mounted higher than 12 feet
and within 300 feet of a residential property line shall be equipped with side shielding (house side
shielding). The proposed fixtures would meet the above criteria and therefore shielding will be
required. The proposed light poles will have shielding.
Lighting Controls
The zoning ordinance states that lighting systems for non-residential property shall be extinguished
or reduced in lighting by at least 50 percent beginning at curfew and continuing until dawn or start
of business day, whichever is sooner. The curfew for LZ2 is the later of 10:00 pm or close of
business. Code required lighting for steps, stairs, walkways and building entrances are an
exception to the curfew requirement. A condition is included in the attached resolution requiring
15
File 2020062
Page 4
the applicant to acknowledge the curfew requirement and provide documentation that the new
lighting can meet it.
RECOMMENDATION:
Community Development Department staff recommends approval of the site plan amendment for
The Retrofit Companies Inc., for property located at 1605 Highway 169, subject to the conditions
in the attached resolution.

Ms. Sommers,
I'm writing in regards to the below-proposed development:
1605 Highway 169 – The Retrofit Companies Inc. (2020-062). Request by The Retrofit Companies Inc.
for approval of a site plan amendment for the removal and replacement of existing site lighting and
installation of additional site lighting for Ryerson, Inc. (Tentative review dates: Planning Commission on
December 2, 2020; and City Council on January 12 2021). Lori
As you consider the proposal will you please pay extra attention to how the brightness and placement of lighting
affect the residents nearby?
We live on 18th Ave N (2 blocks north) and one of the existing parking lot lights shines through our second-
story bedroom windows throughout the night. It seems that the lights have gotten brighter in the last year or so.
I understand that Ryerson needs to light their facility for safety and security. I'm confident that there is a
lighting plan that achieves their needs without flooding the neighborhood in light.
Thank you for your time. I plan to watch the December 2 commission meeting to get a better idea of what has
been proposed.
Regards,
Amber Gunn Thomas
