5. CONSENT AGENDA:
6. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. ASSOCIATION FREE LUTHERAN BIBLE SCHOOL. (98163)
Chairman Stulberg introduced the request by the Association Free Lutheran Bible School
for Rezoning from RSF-1 (Single Family Detached 1) to PUD (Planned Unit
Development), Preliminary Plat and PUD General Plan for the property located at 3110
East Medicine Lake Boulevard.
Community Development Director Hurlburt explained the procedures for the item and
explained what has happened on the application up to this point. She said that the City
Council has not acted on the reguiding, and it is not before the Planning Commission
tonight. She stated that what is before the Planning Commission is the request for
rezoning to PUD, Preliminary Plat and PUD General Plan. The PUD gives the City a lot
more control. She explained that when the application goes to the City Council, the
reguiding will be brought back and have to be acted on first. If the City Council approves
the reguiding, they then may approve the PUD. If they deny the reguiding, then the other
components of the application will be denied with the exception of the Preliminary Plat.
Director Hurlburt stated that a property owner has the right to make application for
something and it is not unusual for the Planning Commission and City Council to act on an
application in stages if proposed that way by the applicant. Director Hurlburt said that the
ultimate recommendation is conditional upon what the City Council's decision on the
reguiding application.
Planner Drill gave an overview of the November 6, 1998 staff report. Planner Drill noted
a change to the PUD General Plan Resolution stating that Condition #7 shall state "The
bible school shall not conduct year-round classes."
Chairman Stulberg introduced Tonnes Pollestad, the petitioner. Pastor Pollestad stated
that they are presenting a different rezoning application based on the recommendation
from the City Council. He said that the proposed plan should be in compliance with what
the City Council has directed them to do. Pastor Pollestad explained that they have gone
through a long process including various meetings held with the neighbors and City staff.
Pastor Pollestad stated that the revised plan includes a reduction in the number of
students; elimination of the auto mechanics training facility; reduction in the number of
married student housing units; new lighting fixtures; and, a break up of the large three
story building into a number of two-story buildings which would be smaller in size and
spread out more over the site, and have a residential character. Pastor Pollestad added that
the buildings would be 25 to 30 feet in height.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Scott Roberts of Genesis Architect, representing the
petitioner. Mr. Roberts presented graphics of the existing site. He pointed out the
existing parking spaces, noting that there currently isn't any screening. Mr. Roberts also
presented the proposed initial phase site plan.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Dan Parks of McCombs, Franks Roos Associates,
representing the petitioner. Mr. Parks stated that all of the drainage on site would be
treated on site by treatment ponds located on the southwest and southeast corners of the
site. Mr. Parks commented that the proposed plan has been approved by the watershed
district. He said that the existing sanitary sewer lines will be extended and the water main
will be looped through the entire project. Mr. Parks said that the applicant is proposing
both deciduous and coniferous trees for the project.
Mr. Roberts said that the current lighting meets the City Code, but has been annoying to
the residents, thus as part of the PUD, the applicant is proposing new light fixtures that
would measure .4 foot candles and .0 foot candles at the property line for the majority of
the lights, which would minimize or eliminate the glare altogether. Mr. Roberts stated that
the parking setback is further than what is required by the ordinance. He said that they
have proposed increasing the screening with berms, as well as plantings. Mr. Roberts
presented a computer model animation from three different areas from the southeastern
portion of the site and one from the northeastern portion of the site. Mr. Roberts stated
that they are adding almost twice the number of trees over what would be removed from
the perimeter. The applicant would relocate the volleyball court from the perimeter to an
interior location to create more buffering from the neighbors. Mr. Roberts said that the
hilltop would be cut down to allow the gymnasium to be sunk down further. Mr. Roberts
presented an artist rendering of the gymnasium and student center, and elevations for the
married student housing and dormitory buildings.
Pastor Pollestad commented that they feel that they have taken into account the issues
raised by the City Council, staff and neighbors and have incorporated those needs and
concerns into their proposal. Pastor Pollestad recognized that there are some of the
neighbors' issues that they have not been able to resolve to the neighbors' satisfaction.
Commissioner Ribbe asked what the elevation of the building is from computer animation
2. Mr. Roberts stated that it is 18 feet to the eaves, 28 feet to the peak. Commissioner
Ribbe asked how much berm the applicant is proposing. Mr. Roberts replied that the
elevation would be raised from 956 feet to 964 feet. Commissioner Ribbe asked what the
size of the trees would be at maturity. Mr. Roberts answered 15 feet based on a 10- to
15 -year growth cycle.
Commissioner Thompson asked if the applicant only depicted the removal of existing trees
for animation purposes only. Mr. Roberts replied affirmatively.
Chairman Stulberg opened the public hearing.
Chairman Stulberg introduced a letter dated November 10, 1998 from Mavis Showalter of
1042532 nd Avenue North stating she is in favor of the proposed application.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Stephen Cornils of 10420
31st Avenue. Mr. Cornils stated
that the site is not an appropriate location for what is being proposed. He stated that his
concerns center around the impact of the reguiding and rezoning and what subsequent
massive development will ensue. He stated he is concerned with the lake and wetlands,
and the overall look and feel of the neighborhood. Mr. Cornils wondered what kind of
impact the increased traffic and parking lots will have on their property values and to what
extent their quality of life will be compromised.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Ralph Shapiro of 10520
31st Avenue. Dr. Shapiro
commented that he doesn't think that the notes from the June 11, 1998 meeting reflect
what happened from a neighborhood standpoint. Dr. Shapiro explained that the neighbors
didn't respond because they weren't give enough time and didn't have adequate
neighborhood representation. He said that the neighborhood did draft their response and
presented that to the bible school. He said that none of the items were incorporated into
the proposed PUD. Dr. Shapiro stated that many residents that built after 1973 were
under the assurance and comfort of the current guiding and zoning with a trust that the
City had made, and a change at this point would break that trust. Dr. Shapiro believed
that people that live around the property should have a say in what happens. Dr. Shapiro
stated that of the 27 homes that surround the site, 21 of the owners are against the
proposal and three are in favor of the proposal. Dr. Shapiro stated that the Commission
should look at this plan as if a developer was coming in with nothing else on the site. He
said that the proposal is a massive scale of development which is out of portion to the site.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Steve Kleineman of 3010 Trenton Lane. Mr. Kleineman
stated that the area of concern is the area within the proposed loop which is about 850 feet
across. Mr. Kleineman explained that Target Greatland is 450 wide and if you put two
Target Greatlands together, it would be about the same as the 850 feet. He said that
Target Greatland is 24.8 feet high, which is similar to what is being proposed. The south
side of the site slopes down which means that the proposed buildings would appear more
significant than along the north side of the property. Mr. Kleineman stated that grading on
the site is taking place right up to the property line, and all the trees within it will be gone.
He said that they may be able to save some of the trees, but it looks like most will have to
be reforested. Mr. Kleineman did not think that the affect of the berm will be as
significant as what was shown in the animation, as it will take a great deal of time for the
trees to mature and planting material would be inadequate.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Vic Sandler of 3010 East Medicine Lake Boulevard. Mr.
Sandler stated that most of the neighbors oppose the proposal because of traffic, noise and
the buildings would be an eyesore. Mr. Sandler said that there would be absolutely no
room for driver or pedestrian error on Medicine Lake Road. He said that there has never
been a safety study of the roadway, and the City Council should not put the residents in
jeopardy.
Stephen Cornils of 10420 31st
Avenue stated that the future of this property could be best
handled by not allowing the rezoning.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Paul Oppegard of 10724 32"d Avenue North. Mr.
Oppegard stated that he is in favor of the expansion. He said that when he moved into the
neighborhood there were gravel roads, trees were brush, and you could see a long way in
many directions. Mr. Oppegard said that the land was purchased with the intent of
expansion many years ago.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Jim Martin of 10603 32"d Avenue North. Mr. Martin stated
that he supports the revised plan. He said that the bible school has been wonderful
neighbor for the last 30 years.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Greg Cramer of 3020 Quaker Lane. Mr. Cramer stated
that he opposes the proposal because it is incompatible with a residential neighborhood.
He said that while the bible school has been a good neighbor, he is concerned that the
magnitude of growth will negatively impact the neighborhood.
Chairman Stulberg introduced William Clelland of 2835 Revere Circle. Mr. Clelland
stated that the proposal is incompatible with the neighborhood. He stated that he doesn't
believe that the road can handle the additional traffic. Mr. Clelland said that with a bigger
facility, there will be more frequent service deliveries to the site. The buildings are
mammoth in size and he isn't convinced that the screening will be adequate even in 10 to
15 years. Mr. Clelland asked the Commission to vote in favor of Alternative B.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Wallace Charles of 3150 East Medicine Lake Boulevard.
Mr. Charles stated he has lived here for 42 years and has enjoyed the benefits of the bible
school as a neighbor. Mr. Charles said that when a community changes the zoning
ordinance, the properties are not compensated. Mr. Charles said that the City never
compensated the bible school for the change that was made in the zoning ordinance. He
stated that the school should be able to develop according to their previously approved
master plan, even though the zoning ordinance has changed. Mr. Charles said that this
type of growth should be encouraged in the City.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Michael Goldman of 10325 32"d Avenue North. Mr.
Goldman stated that the school was given a conditional use permit, and now they want to
extend it. He said that the master plan has been changed more than once. Mr. Goldman
did not personally feel that the City is obligated or responsible for financially rewarding the
school as they were given what they asked for - a "conditional use." Mr. Goldman
commented that people built homes in the area because the property was zoned
residential. Mr. Goldman urged the Commission to keep the intent of the City Council
pertaining to the conditional use permit.
Chairman Stulberg introduced David Sherman of 3010 Quaker Lane. Mr. Sherman stated
that he is concerned with the traffic and safety issues and is against the rezoning.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Maurice Gavin, representing the petitioner. Mr. Gavin
commented that maybe the City didn't take into account the needs of the individual uses
such as the bible school when the zoning ordinance was changed. Mr. Gavin stated that
significant time and money has been spent on this proposal. The bible school met with the
neighbors early on in the process to receive their input. He said that the reason the
buildings were broken up was because the neighbors asked if it could be done. Mr. Gavin
commented that the proposed PUD allows them to grow as needed with a maximum
limitation. Mr. Gavin stated that the bible school has met seven of the 10 issues raised by
the neighborhood. Mr. Gavin said that the City Council indicated they were concerned
what other uses could be put on the site if the bible school had to move. Mr. Gavin stated
that here are some uses that could go in that would be disagreeable to the neighbors. Mr.
Gavin commented that the bible school has operated in good faith.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Blake Johnson of 2955 Quaker Lane. Mr. Johnson
commended the school on what they have put together for the expansion plan, but stated
that they failed to take into account the feelings of the neighborhood. Mr. Johnson stated
that the neighbors don't want any expansion. Mr. Johnson asked if the Commission
would like to live next to this site and have to put up with the noise of construction and
the additional traffic.
Dr. Shapiro stated that in 1973 the site was guided residential and somewhere between
1986 to 1996 it was guided PI, but there aren't really any records indicating why and
when the change took place. He said that it is unclear if it was an error on the map or a
change by the City. Dr. Shapiro said that while the buildings are broken up on the
proposed plan, there is a massive number of buildings. Dr. Shapiro stated that the bible
school's student numbers were decreased, but that they excluded the seminarians. Dr.
Shapiro said that he is not opposed to expansion, but rather the size of the PUD. Dr.
Shapiro stated that the proposed PUD would impact the neighborhood in a negative way.
Mr. Gavin stated that the facility shall not have more than 375 students and seminarians
combined as indicated in the approving PUD General Plan resolution.
Chairman Stulberg closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Thompson asked what the average height of a two story home in the area
would be. Director Hurlburt stated that the height limit is 35 feet in a residential zoning
district. Mr. Roberts stated that the homes north of the site are mostly single level homes
which could be up to 20 feet in height and the homes on the south side are much larger
ranging up to 3 5 feet in height.
Commissioner Ribbe asked for an explanation on the zoning ordinance change that took
place in 1996. Director Hurlburt explained that the City adopted a new zoning ordinance,
zoning map and Land Use Guide Plan map. A change in state law required cities to have
the zoning consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. She said that there wasn't previously
a separate classification for public or institutional uses, and post secondary schools were
no longer allowed by conditional use. Director Hurlburt stated that this property was
zoned residential, but on some older land use maps it was colored green which was public
use. In 1996, the City tried to put the each individual site into the same zoning
classification as it was previously. Director Hurlburt said the application should be based
on current ordinance and policies. She stated that the city is not required to compensate
anyone when the zoning ordinance changes unless you take away all reasonable use of the
property.
Planning Supervisor Senness explained that the traffic classification is used uniformly by
traffic engineers. Director Hurlburt added that it is based on A through F, with "F" being
a failure and "A" being the best.
Commissioner Stein asked how many of the students attending the bible college are from
the Plymouth area.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Jim Johnson, dean of the bible school. Mr. Johnson
answered that they don't have any students from Plymouth at this time.
Commissioner Stoebner asked for an explanation of the 1973 rezoning and wanted to
know what would have been required to expand the school once it was rezoned to R -IA.
Director Hurlburt stated that it is unclear what initiated the rezoning. It was probably a
concern that there would be a proposal of apartments on the property, not that the school
would expand. She said that the school could have expanded with a conditional use.
MOTION by Commissioner Stein, seconded by Commissioner Ribbe recommending
denial of Rezoning of land located at 3110 East Medicine Lake Boulevard and adopting
Findings of Fact.
Commissioner Stein said that the property was zoned residential and was allowed as a
conditional use to build in accordance with the master plan and now they want to expand
beyond the master plan. Commissioner Stein said that the proposal is just too big for the
site and traffic is an issue on Medicine Lake Boulevard where the street is much narrower.
Commissioner Stein stated that he didn't know where vehicles will park in the winter time
when there are events at the school. He said that 15 years is a long time to wait for the
trees to mature for the screening. Commissioner Stein stated that the increase of
impervious surface has not been allowed recently on other applications and he can't
support this one. Commissioner Stein commented that an increase of this size is
detrimental to the surrounding neighborhood. Commissioner Stein said that the bible
school doesn't serve the City of Plymouth as there are no students from Plymouth, so they
could move to another location.
Commissioner Thompson stated that he is still offended that the bible school has to go
through reguiding and rezoning. He said that the applicant has never built out to the
master plan. The traffic study said the proposal would be appropriate and the Commission
has to trust that. He stated that according to the applicant, the trees would not be clear-
cut. Commissioner Thompson stated that if you include the property the bible school gave
to the City along the lake, there probably would not be an issue of impervious surface
coverage. The treatment ponds make this much better than the current situation.
Commissioner Thompson said that there is no conditional use permit in front of the
Commission. He said that there is a concept in legal circles called environmental racism,
and his concern is environmental classism. Commissioner Thompson said that the whole
not in my back yard" situation offends him. He stated that he is not Lutheran and he
doesn't care about the bible school's mission, only the applicant's rights. He said that the
applicant has tried to compromise and change their plans, and now the neighbors have
changed their comments and concerns. Commissioner Thompson stated that he is in favor
of the rezoning application.
Commissioner Stoebner stated that he concurred with the majority of Commissioner
Thompson's comments.
Commissioner Ribbe said that he would love to see an expansion of the function of the
school, but can't accept the idea that this is the right place for it. He stated that he doesn't
think that the Commission does the school or the neighborhood any good by voting for
the rezoning.
Roll Call Vote. 4 Ayes. MOTION approved on a 4-2 Vote. (Commissioners
Thompson and Stoebner voted Nay.)
MOTION by Chairman Stulberg , seconded by Commissioner Stoebner recommending
approval of a Preliminary Plat for the Association Free Lutheran Bible School for property
located at 3110 East Medicine Lake Boulevard.
Chairman Stulberg said that the Preliminary Plat can stand on its own. Roll Call Vote.
MOTION approved unanimously.
MOTION by Commissioner Stein, seconded by Commissioner Berkowitz recommending
denial of a PUD General Plan for the Association Free Lutheran Bible School for property
located at 3110 East Medicine Lake Road. Roll Call Vote. 4 Ayes. MOTION
approved on a 4-2 Vote. (Commissioners Thompson and Stoebner voted Nay.)
Chairman Stulberg called a recess at 9:27 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 9:40 p.m.
7. NEW BUSINESS:
A. CITY OF PLYMOUTH (98114)
Director Fred Moore gave an overview of the November 5, 1998 staff report. Director
Moore stated that $750,000 is spent on street related issues on an annual basis. He
presented new/additional expenditures to the implementation plan: Studies -$578,000;
DNR/Plant Management $150,000; Drainage/Pond Inspection Program - $196,000;
Alternative Landscape Monitoring - $60,000; Document Existing Treatment Capacity -
200,000; Pond Maintenance Access $200,000. Subtotal - $1,384,000 Construction -
2,270,000.
Commissioner Thompson asked if it is legally possible to retroactively require buffers
along shorelands. Director Hurlburt responded that she didn't think there is anything in
the plan that will address that. She said that staff determined through the process of
developing the wetland ordinance that you can't apply buffers retroactively. She stated
that she didn't know of any community that has tried to require retro buffering. Director
Moore said that it may be possible to establish some financial incentives for people to do
this.
Commissioner Berkowitz asked if the City has thought about providing buffer monuments
and technical assistance for voluntary buffering. Director Hurlburt replied that staff is
already providing technical assistance. Planning Supervisor Senness stated that the
materials for buffering should be professionally applied in order to work which would raise
the cost to homeowners. Director Hurlburt noted that one thing the staff uses to
encourage buffers is the problem with geese complaints. Water Resource Engineer
Missaghi commented that he also works with various homeowners associations.
Commissioner Stein asked if any have actually implemented restoration of a buffer. Water
Resource Engineer Missaghi replied affirmatively.
Commissioner Ribbe stated his concern for implementing the plan until funding sources
have been determined. He said that there may be a need for a commitment from the
taxpayers in order to make this realistic to achieve the goals of the plan. Director Moore
commented that there is a section in the plan that gives several financing sources, which
will have to be addressed after the plan is adopted. He said that when the plan is adopted,
staff will then know how aggressive it should be handled and can address the finance
issues over 10 years. Commissioner Ribbe noted that 40 percent of the projected cost is
for expert labor. Director Moore commented that a lot of it is studies and staff labor, but
until a detailed study is done on a watershed by watershed district basis, you don't know
how much needs to be done. He said that this is an on-going plan that will continue even
after 10 years. He added that the City is required by state law to address water quality
and water quantity.
Commissioner Stein asked if the plan would come back to the Commission periodically for
review. Director Moore replied that the plan would come back formally as part of the
Comprehensive Plan. He said that the plan will need to be updated as watershed plans are
updated.
MOTION by Commissioner Thompson, seconded by Commissioner Stoebner
recommending approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the City of Plymouth
for the Water Resources Management Plan.
MOTION to Amend by Commissioner Berkowitz, seconded by Commission Thompson
to remove the recommendation for the ban on city-wide phosphorus fertilizers.
Commissioner Berkowitz stated that the didn't think an overall ban is the way to go. He
said that banning the sale of phosphorus fertilizers in Plymouth would have a better affect.
Commissioner Ribbe stated people can still drive to other cities for sources of fertilizer.
He said that the symbolism of a ban sends a forceful message that people should quit using
something that isn't necessary.
Commissioner Stein commented that the ban on the sale would at least start the learning
process.
Commissioner Stoebner suggested that the language is broad enough that it could mean
the use or sale, and that the City Council should grapple with that issue. He said as
worded it would be appropriate.
Commissioner Thompson suggested that the wording state ban sale or use of fertilizer.
Commissioner Berkowitz commented that with the items underway through the legislature
or the Metropolitan Council, maybe the City should just focus on educational issues and
see what happens.
Roll Call Vote on MOTION to Amend. 1 Aye. MOTION failed on a 1-5 Vote.
Commissioners Ribbe, Stein, Thompson, Stoebner and Chairman Stulberg voted Nay.)
MOTION to Amend by Commissioner Thompson, seconded by Commissioner
Berkowitz to change the wording to the "ban on the sale or use of phosphorous base
fertilizers."
Commissioner Stoebner commented that the City Attorney said there would be a problem
with a ban on the sale. Commissioner Thompson said it would be the same problem as
banning the use, but it would have more of an affect on retailers. Commissioner Stoebner
said that anything that would have a chilling affect on the sale would be good.
Commissioner Berkowitz stated he would support the amendment. Roll Call Vote. 5
Ayes. MOTION approved on a 5-1 Vote. (Chairman Stulberg voted Nay.)
MOTION to Amend by Commissioner Thompson to add further consideration of the
feasibility of the retroactive requirement of buffers on lake shore properties. MOTION to
Amend died for a lack of a second.
MOTION to Amend by Commissioner Stein, seconded by Commissioner Berkowitz to
offer incentive to homeowners to provide buffers.
Chairman Stulberg said that the plan already basically intends the incentive. Commissioner
Stein said that the cost of the incentive would reduce the overall cost in the long run.
Commissioner Thompson said that it is redundant to what is in the plan. He said that he is
afraid that if it is strictly voluntary homeowners would be just buffering areas around
swamps. Commissioner Berkowitz said that maybe assistance from the City would've
helped the dilemma that the Fosters' and Berglands' faced. Commissioner Stoebner said
that he would support the motion. Roll Call Vote. 6 Ayes. MOTION approved
unanimously.
MOTION to Amend by Commissioner Ribbe, seconded by Commissioner Thompson to
propose that additional wording be added "due to the scope of the plan and the
commitments that would be necessary to achieve the goals the Planning Commission
further recommends the determination of a reasonable estimate of the implementation
costs. Such costs should include the costs of land acquisition, controlling volume control
of natural waterways, and maintaining existing waterways."
Commissioner Ribbe said that before the City Council determines the final plan they
should have a handle on how to finance the plan and obtain the resources to meet those
costs.
Chairman Stulberg said he would vote against the motion as he believed the plan has to
happen anyhow and he didn't want to hold it up waiting to determine the financing portion
of the plan. He said that the plan will be a moving target that will continue to change and
will have to be monitored by staff. Chairman Stulberg stated that he would support the
recommendation, but not attached to the resolution. Commissioner Thompson said that it
is a good idea for a separate recommendation to the City Council.
Commissioner Stein asked if the financing portion could be decided before the plan is
adopted in August, 1999 and reported back to the Planning Commission. Director Moore
stated $8 million is a reasonable implementation of the plan. Commissioner Ribbe said
that there are portions of the $8 million that are too low that will disappear any time a
project comes along. He stated that the $120,000 for project acquisition seems low and
that it wouldn't go very far. Director Moore explained that most of the intended
acquisition is in the undeveloped part of the City and will be done in conjunction with
development. Commissioner Ribbe stated that the only significant dollar figures for
construction is related to Parkers Lake. There seem to be big gaps in the intent and how it
is going to get done. The City Council has to be willing to get their arms around the
entire project and be able to come up with the finances. Chairman Stulberg commented
that staff is saying that their estimates are realistic. Commissioner Ribbe said that there
are some items that could be big ticket items, but they don't seem to be dealt with in the
implementation.
Roll Call Vote on MOTION to Amend. 2 Ayes. MOTION failed on a 2-4 Vote.
Commissioners Stein, Stoebner, Thompson and Chairman Stulberg voted Nay.)
Roll Call Vote on Main MOTION. 6 Ayes. MOTION approved unanimously.
Chairman Stulberg commended the Environmental Quality Committee and staff for their
work on the project. He said that he encourages the current City Council to deal with the
issue and not wait for the new Council as they have not been involved with the process to
date.
Commissioner Ribbe concurred, adding that the current City Council has the knowledge
to deal with the plan.
