Willis, City Manager, through Fred G. Moore Director of Public Works FROM: Sherman L. Goldberg, City Engineer SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Vacate Street Right -of -Way East Medicine Lake Boulevard Adjacent to Lots 4, 5 and 6 of Jevne's Subdivision of Block 17 Medicine Lake Park Addition Public Hearing We are in receipt of a petition from Richard V. Vanman, requesting that the City vacate a portion of the street right-of-way on East Medicine Lake Boulevard, adjacent to his Lots 4, 5 and 6 of Jevne's Subdivision. His intention is to combine the vacated street right-of-way with the existing lots adjacent to said right-of-way and obtain building sites for residential homes. The lots are adjacent to Medicine Lake. As he pointed out in his letter, the traveled roadway is to the far North of the platted right-of-way. We do not recommend that the right-of-way be vacated. The lots are marginal in size. We also have to reserve space for a proposed regional trail as well as future utilities. I recommend that the Council adopt the attached resolution denying the vacation request. Sherman L. Goldberg, P.E.

PRESENT: Mayor Schneider, Councilmembers Crain (who arrived at 7:43 p.m.), Vasiliou, Zitur, and Sisk, Manager Willis, Planning Director Tremere, Public Works Director Moore, Park Director Blank, Finance Director Hahn, Director Carlquist, City Attorney Thomson, and City Clerk Brandt ABSENT: None CONSENT AGENDA Motion was made by Councilmember Sisk, seconded by Councilmember CONSENT AGENDA Zitur, to adopt the consent agenda with modifications to the Item 4 minutes of the July 20 meeting. Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, four ayes. MINUTES MOTION was made by Councilmember Sisk, seconded by Councilmember MINUTES - REGULAR Zitur, to approve the minutes of the Regular Council meeting of COUNCIL MEETING JULY July 20, 1987 with modifications reflecting Councilmember's Sisk 20, 1987 questions and comments regarding the organized collection and Item 5* recycling proposals. Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, four ayes. PUBLIC HEARING Mayor Schneider opened the public hearing at 7:37 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING - ABATEMENT OF NUISANCE Jan Bloom, 3223 Flag Court, stated she is taking care of the Item 6-A cleanup at 5140 Zachary Lane. She has the property owner's power of attorney. Attorney Thomson stated power of attorney means she has the pro- perty owner's permission to sign documents and take care of the situation. The property owner still has the responsibility of getting the nuisance problem resolved. The proposed resolution finds that this is a public nuisance and orders that the pro- perty owner remove these items by August 10. Special Council Meeting July 27, 1987 Page 215 Ms. Bloom stated a lot of the cars have been removed and they are in the process of removing the hay and weeds and taking care of the lawn; this will be a total clean up. Attorney Thomson stated that on August 11, if the property were not cleaned up, the City would order the Job completed and assess the costs against the property. Manager Willis stated he will provide the Council with a status report on August 3. There appears to be a good faith effort being made to clean the property. Ms. Bloom stated it is her intention to do a complete clean up so they can rent the property until it is sold. Councilmember Crain Joined the meeting at 7:43 p.m. Director Carlquist stated the report lists 11 nuisances still on the property which should give Ms. Bloom something to work on byAugust10. Mayor Schneider closed the hearing at 7:47 p.m. MOTION was made by Councilmember Zitur, seconded by Councilmem- ber Sisk, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 87-492 DIRECTING AND ORDERING THE ABATEMENT OF A NUISANCE AND PUBLIC HEALTH AND PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD BY THE PROPERTY OWNER AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO COMPLETE REQUIRED CLEANUP AND ASSESS COSTS INCUDING EXPENSES AGAINST THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO CITY CODE SECTION 2010 adding the following to the eighth paragraph: "and all other items identified in the police department's report which has been fur- nished to the property owner's representative at the July 27, 1987 Council meeting." Attorney Thomson stated the Council, by approving the resolu- tion, gives the City the authority to clean up the property if the property owner doesn't. Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, four ayes. Councilmember Crain abstained. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS Manager Willis stated that this item was referred to this meet- ing because of a question on the park easement at the July 20 meeting. Director Blank has proposed a 30 ft. trail to the north of the cul-de-sac which has been included in the resolu- tion as condition #14. Director Blank stated he is recommending an easement at this time and, if the property to the north is developed as indus- trial and the easement isn't needed, it can be vacated. RESOLUTION NO. 87-492 ABATEMENT F NUISW-NTF HEALTH & SAFETY HAZARD Item 6-A 4 Special Council Meeting July 27, 1987 Page 216 MOTION was made by Councilmember Sisk, seconded by Councilmember ORDINANCE NO. 87-15 Zitur, to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 87-15 AMENDING THE ZONING ORDI- AMENDING ZONING E NANCE TO CLASSIFY CERTAIN LANDS LOCATED AT 54TH AVENUE AND REZONING LAND NATHAN LANE TO R-3 (MEDIUM DENSITY MULTIPLE RESIDENCE) DISTRICT PONDS NORTH AND I-1 (PLANNED INDUSTRIAL) DISTRICT. 87058) Item 7-A Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, five ayes.

MOTION was made by Councilmember Sisk, seconded by Councilmember RESOLUTION NO. 87-498 Zitur, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 87-498 DECLARING SURPLUS PRO- RECONVEYANCE OF TAX PERTY, RECONVEYING AND CONVEYING PORTIONS OF SAID PROPERTY AND FORFEIT LAND APPROVING SALE OF SAME TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER THROUGH Item 7-E* PRIVATE SALE. Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, four ayes. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS Director Moore stated the Fernbrook project is slighty delayed PROJECT STATUS REPORT because the surcharging wasn't completed, however, grading did Item 8-A start today. The storm of last week set back work on the water treatment plant by three to four days. Special Council Meeting July 27, 1987 Page 217 Mayor Schneider stated the proposal is to put cats under the same control as dogs. Councilmember Vasiliou noted that Minneapolis history is that only 1 to 2% of cat owners retrieve their animals from the pound after they have been picked up which leaves the City to pay all the charges. She stated she doesn't know where Plymouth would get the personnel to handle the situation. Councilmember Sisk agreed but stated that the CSO's have told residents calling with cat complaints that they cannot do any- thing because the City doesn't have an ordinance against cats. Mayor Schneider stated the City can address the problem under its nuisance ordinance. Councilmember Vasiliou stated it would be helpful if the home- owners associations could police their own members. She isn't sure any Council can address the "war" between responsible and irresponsible pet owners. Councilmember Zitur stated the City needs to educate residents concerning nuisances and make use of the live traps. Plymouth on Parade should be used as well as in person visits to home- owners association meetings. Mayor Schneider suggested that CSO's tell residents when they complain that there is no cat control ordinance but the nuisance ordinance will cover the problem. It was the concensus of the Council that the nuisance ordinance could cover the problem along with increased public education and CSO use of the ordinance. Councilmember Sisk stated that he can see the rationale with the pooper scooper" law, however, enforcement would be very diffi- cult and costly. Councilmember Crain stated these activities are a nuisance but enforcement will be difficult and expensive and the nuisance ordinance should address this along with public education of the problem and the law. Councilmember Sisk suggested that, if the nuisance ordinance doesn't cover this, the language should be changed. Councilmember Zitur stated most of his calls are about dogs run- ning loose and believes educating the public to the law is the first step in the solution. Mayor Schneider pointed out that, if the "pooper scooper" ordi- nance were adopted, a level of service would be expected by the public and the City cannot afford personnel to enforce it. CAT CONTROL ORDINANCE Item 8-B Special Council Meeting July 27, 1987 Page 218 Director Carlquist stated the nuisance ordinance already covers any unhealthy activities. Councilmember Crain suggested that signs be posted in the parks stating what the leash law is. Councilmember Vasiliou stated it isn't right that dogs run free. Councilmember Sisk suggested having an officer patrol areas dur- ing heavy use to stop and educate people to the law. Discussion continued on enforcement, level of enforcement, and how to educate the public. Director Blank stated Section 915 of the City Code covers con- trol of animals in public areas stating that they must be leash- ed and are not allowed to defacate. Director Carlquist stated he will begin selective enforcement in the parks. Councilmember Vasiliou stated she would categorize this as an awareness issue for the police department to re -enforce the ordinance with residents before beginning the fining process. Councilmember Crain stated the offenders are probably chronic and a period of enforcement might get the word around. Mayor Schneider suggested giving warnings to people when they are caught violating the ordinance and told that the City will begin enforcing it in a short time. Director Blank stated they have begun putting signs up on the trails with the leash law on them because of the number of com- plaints being received. The Council agreed to the warning process beginning in the parks with the ordinance being enforced after September 1. Councilmember Vasiliou stated it appeared that erosion control EROSION CONTROL works well, however, the policy doesn't seem to be working. She Item 8-C noted that the same developers have to be called over and over to make them comply. Discussion followed on the problem of how to get developers to be more proactive and how the City can enforce the policy. Director Tremere stated this is not a Code enforcement matter but, rather, is a policy administration matter. Director Moore stated one of the problems is that the developers are not monitoring builders in the development areas well enough, however, the situation is much improved over other years. He suggested one phone call to remind the developer of the policy, then the fine. Special Council Meeting July 27, 1987 Page 219 Councilmember Sisk asked for a report of previous erosion con- trol compliance when a developer comes to the Council with a new development proposal. MOTION was made by Councilmember Zitur, seconded by Councilmem- ber Vasiliou, that the Mayor write a letter to the developers and builders stating the Council's concerns. Motion failed, one aye. Mayor Schneider and Councilmembers Sisk, Vasiliou and Crain voted nay. Attorney Thomson stated a policy cannot carry a court imposed penalty such as a fine, however, a policy can be enforced and can charge penalty fees. Director Moore stated this is part of the development contract and the money is taken out of the financial guarantee if the developer doesn't pay the clean up costs. Discussion followed about possible policy changes which would establish penalty fees. Attorney Thomson stated he believed the draft of the policy change should be sent to the developers for their information. Manager Willis stated the City should go after the individual builders unless they cannot be determined, in which case we would go after the developer. Director Moore suggested a moratorium on all building in a development until the streets are cleaned. MOTION was made by Mayor Schneider, seconded by Councilmember Zitur, that a warning letter be sent to developers stating that the policy is to be strictly enforced and, on August 3, the Council will take this under consideration again; the Council may direct that building inspections will cease unless erosion control is in place and streets are clean. Penalties after August 3 may be raised subject to the City Attorney's opinion. Motion carried, five ayes. Director Moore stated that the Pavement Management Study was PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT begun last year when the City retained Short -Elliott -Hendrickson STUDY to conduct the study with the goal of protecting the City's in- Item 8-D vestment in its streets. The study is now completed. Dick Moore, Short -Elliott -Hendrickson, stated their study nc udes all the streets in the City of which there are 206 miles. 25% show severe distress, 62% need routine maintenance, and 13% are in poor condition requiring either partial or total reconstruction. He recommended a two year program for the main- tenance of streets be undertaken at a total estimated cost for the improvements of approximately $3,000,000. Special Council Meeting July 27, 1987 Page 220 Director Moore summarized the study and the three proposed pro- grams with their estimated costs and the split between the City's cost and that which is recommended to be assessed to the homeowners. He is recommending that the consultants submit a proposal and the Council consider an infrastructure replacement program. Councilmember Sisk stated this is an issue which must be addres- sed and believes the Council should get started on it. He would not like to see the streets deteriorate any further. Discussion followed on the priority areas and the cost of handl- ing each. Mayor Schneider stated he would like to see the yellow areas, those requiring resurfacing, completed first before they deteri- orate further. Councilmember Sisk asked if the reconstruction would be to the standards being used by the City today. Director Moore answered that this wouldn't be an upgrading, simply replacement of existing streets. Councilmember Sisk asked how some reconstruction areas can be so low in priority. Director Moore answered that, when streets are reconstructed, they would be to twenty year life at a 7 ton level and, if there is no curb and gutter now, they would be without curb and gutter. MOTION was made by Councilmember Vasiliou, to accept the report contract with S.E.H. Motion carried, five ayes. Sisk, seconded by Councilmember and direct staff to negotiate a Mayor Schneider stated his concern is with putting the City's priority on stopping the loss. MOTION was made by Councilmember Sisk, seconded by CouncilmemberZitur, that the City Engineer revise the "Engineering Standards" to include the recommendations in the Pavement Management Study, present the revisions to the Development Council, and bring these revisions back to the City Council for consideration. Councilmember Sisk stated there are 206 miles of street and the growth of the City could double this. The survey results show that some roads have deteriorated prematurely because of subsoil conditions. If the City could require that road construction in certain areas reflect the soil conditions, the City wouldn't be put in a position of having to replace roads prematurely and absorb the costs because the road wasn't constructed right. Special Council Meeting July 27, 1987 Page 221 Director Moore stated there are engineering guidelines which he can revise to incorporate the standards. These will be present- ed to the development council and then the Council for action. Mayor Schneider added he would like to see a recommendation on the implementation of the new specifications; who falls under the new standards and who falls under the old. Motion carried, five ayes. Director Moore stated these proposed office revisions should CITY CENTER OFFICE provide enough space for office personnel for the next ten REVISIONS years. The overall estimate is $120,000-$150,000. He summariz- Item 8-E ed the plans. Discussion followed on cost, colors, and equipment needed. Councilmember Zitur stated his concern with the signage in the lobby and how to attract customers to the right counter for assistance. He would like to see additional furniture in the lobby. Councilmember Vasiliou stated her concer that none of the items were bid. Manager Willis stated it will be necessary to get bids if the item exceeds $15,000, however, specifications have not yet been established. Director Moore pointed out that no contractors have been awarded bids. Attorney Thomson stated he would like to take a closer look at the bidding requirements for this project with staff. He beli- eves the appropriate approach is to comply with the bidding law if applicable. MOTION was made by Councilmember Sisk, seconded by Councilmember Crain, to accept the recommendation of staff to revise the City Center office building and instruct the City Attorney to work with staff on putting together those items which are needed for bidding. Motion carried, four ayes. Councilmember Vasiliou abstained. The Council reviewed the status of claims against the City. INSURANCE CLAIMS Item 8-F Director Blank reported on what other cities do and that most do PRIVATE DOCKS ON not allow private docks on public property. He summarized the PUBLIC PROPERTY four options. Item 8-G Special Council Meeting July 27, 1987 Page 222 Attorney Thomson addressed the options and the City's exposure under each. There is one case in another city he is aware of where a private dock on public property is an issue. Mayor Schneider noted that, if the property owner provides insurance, the liability would have to be at $600,000 to cover the City's exposure. Attorney Thomson stated additional measures should be taken, such as requiring signs on the dock stating that it is a private dock and warning about diving. Lawrence Marofsky, who owns a dock on public park property onMedicineLake, stated this park land isn't used as park at all and he would be willing to put up signs and a chain to keep people off the dock. He would increase his homeowners insurance or get an umbrella policy to cover himself to the $600,000 level. Councilmember Sisk stated he preferred option four which would permit the residents to keep existing docks if they insured the City. Councilmember Zitur stated he favored putting a stop to adding any more docks but would allow the standing docks to stay. MOTION was made by Councilmember Zitur, seconded by Councilmem- ber Crain, that the three to five docks in question be allowed to stay until such time the property is sold by these owners and removed at that time. They will provide insurance and will mark the dock private and take appropriate precautions to let people know this is private and prohibit all public use of the dock. Councilmember Zitur stated that when the property is sold this permission is over with. Mayor Schneider stated he preferred an annual review or permit basis and not grandfather in these docks in case the City needed the land at some time. The City should be reimbursed for its time with the permit fee. Councilmember Crain stated he would not want to allow any more docks on active park property. Mr. Marofsky stated he wanted the City to address the difference between park and City owned property. Councilmember Crain stated the purpose for limiting the permits to these owners is to, over time, eliminate or correct the situ- ation. Councilmember Vasiliou stated she also favored option four, how- ever, by limiting this to these existing docks it would exclude others who may be in the same situation in the future. Special Council Meeting July 27, 1987 Page 223 Manager Willis asked if the Council was concerned with the num- ber of boats which could be docked. Director Blank stated most of the docks have two boats. He has more research to do to determine the exact number of docks on public park land. Mayor Schneider suggested two boats be the limit and a boat in- cludes anything licensed by the Department of Natural Resources. Attorney Thomson stated the City would be part of any lawsuit involving the docks. The main concern should be with liability. Mayor Schneider stated he doesn't want the docks to be expanded in any way. Attorney Thomson stated this would have to be in an ordinance form and he was reluctant to draft it tonight. MOTION to amend was made by Mayor Schneider, seconded by Coun- cilmember Zitur, that ordinance language be drafted to indicate that the Council is referring to those docks existing on July 1, 1987, for property owners across the street from park land and that some kind of chain or security device be used to preclude entrance onto the dock, and limiting the size and configuration of the dock to that existing on July 1, 1987. Motion carried, five ayes. MOTION to amend was made by Mayor Schneider, seconded by Coun- cilmember Zitur, that this be an annual renewal showing evidence of all the foregoing and an annual fee be established. Attorney Thomson stated that since the Council is only address- ing existing docks, they have the legal basis to ask the owners to remove them at any time. MOTION was made by Mayor Schneider, seconded by Councilmember Zitur, to amend the proposed amendment and the annual fee be 25.00. Motion to amend the amendment carried, five ayes. Motion as once amended carried, five ayes. Main motion as twice amended carried, five ayes. MOTION was made by Councilmember Vasiliou, seconded by Council - member Crain, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 87-499 RESCINDING POLICY RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF PERMITS TO HUNT DEER. Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, five ayes. RESOLUTION NO. 87-499 RESCINDING POLICY RELATING TO DEER HUNT Item 8-H Special Council Meeting July 27, 1987 Page 224 MOTION was made by Councilmember Vasiliou, seconded by Council- RESOLUTION NO. 87-500 member Crain, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 87-500 REVISING CITY COUN- REVISING COUNCIL CIL POLICY MANUAL. POLICY MANUAL Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, five ayes. Item 8-H Attorney Thomson summarized the case on which the Supreme Court REPORT ON SUPREME decision regarding development moratoriums was based, the dif- COURT DECISION ference between how a government entity takes the property, the DEVELOPMENT MORATORIUM significance of these to Plymouth, how the City could use around Item 8-I the ruling, and the difference between staged growth and a mora- torium. Director Tremere showed examples of how the present ordinance affects the height and location of fences, the effects of the 1985 amendment, and a proposed change which the Planning Commis- sion did not recommend. MOTION was made by Councilmember Crain, seconded by Councilmem- ORDINANCE NO. 87-16 ber Sisk, to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 87-16 AMENDING PORTIONS OF THE AMENDIRTIZIMM ORDINANCE NO. 80-9 ADOPTED DUNE 16, 1980 AS AMENDED, AND KNOWN ORDINANCE AS THE PLYMOUTH ZONING ORDINANCE. Item 8-3 MOTION was made by Councilmember Zitur, seconded by Mayor Schneider, to amend to add the following: "That corner lot front yard be defined as the side of the lot toward which the house faces the street and/or the side of the lot which the driveway exits onto the street; the alternative yard may have a 6 ft. high fence as in a side or rear yard, provided the fence does not obstruct vision for pedestrians and motor vehicle oper- ators." Councilmember Zitur stated he wanted this discussed by the Coun- cil as the Planning Commission had reviewed it. Director Tremere pointed out that this amendment would allow 6 ft. high fences within 10 ft. to 15 ft. of a neighbor's side yard. It does address a concern of some corner lot owners who seek privacy fencing. Motion to amend failed, five nays. Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, five ayes.

Willis, City Manager Laurie Brandt, Clerk PUBLIC HEARING - LIQUOR VIOLATION AT PARTY MART LIQUORS SUMMARY: Plmouth City Code Section 1005 provides that "a license issued, or to be issued, may be denied, suspended or revoked by the Council for any of the following causes: (b) conviction of any crime or misdemeanor pertaining to a license held or applied for, subject to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 364." The Hennepin County Court has accepted a guilty plea from a clerk at Party Mart for selling liquor to a minor. The Council must now determine whether or not to impose a civil penalty and the extent of that penalty. At its duly 20 meeting, the City Council adopted a resolution ordering a public hearing for August 3 to consider whether to revoke or suspend the liquor license of hack Wenner dba Party Mart Liquor, 4130 Highway 101, in accordance with the City Code provisions as a result of a liquor code violation. On May 15 a clerk at Party Mart sold 30 cans of beer to a person under 21 years of age (police report attached). The clerk has since pled guilty to the charge and was convicted, see attached letter from Steve Tallen. According to City Code 1215.03 Subd. 2, Civil Penalties, "The City Council may either (i) impose a civil fine up to $2,000 or (ii) suspend for a period not to exceed 60 days or revoke any license upon a finding that the licensee has failed to comply with an applicable......." The Council should hear input from Mr. Wenner on the charge. Attached is a report from Sgt.

Attached is a report from Sergeant Rogers, indicating that one of the clerks at Plymouth Liquor Store, owned by Jack Wenner, has been prosecuted for the illegal sales of intoxicating beverages to a minor. In accordance with the City Code, we are advising the Council of this matter to receive clarification on whether a public hearing should be held to consider whether revocation, denial or suspension of this license is appropriate.

DATE: 7/15/87 TO: Richard Carlquist, Director of Public Safety FROM: Sgt. Rogers, Investigations Supervisor SUBJ: Administrative Hearing Advisory - PARTY MART LIQUORS C T 1T,I0 75: Pursuant to provisions of MN Chaprter 340A and Section 1215.03 of the City Ordinance, violations of the liquor licensee shall be reported to the City Council for administrative review. Under Section 1211.01, the licensee is res- ponsible for the conduct of employees who sell alcoholic beverages. Section 1215.03 provides the penalty options that may be imposed by the Council. These penalties provide the imposition of a fine up to $2000, a license suspension of up to 60 days, or revocation. Finally, Section 1215.03 provides that none of the aforementioned sanctions may be invoked until the licensee has been afforded a public hearing. VIOLATION, SYNOPSIS: It has been affirmed that on 5/15/87 at 9:50PM Mr. Jesse Edward BELLEFEUILLE, while employed as a clerk for the licensee, John Roman WENNER at the Party Mart Liquor store, 4130 Hwy #101, Plymouth, MN., sold 30 cans of strong Miller beer to a person under 21 year of age. Plymouth Police case 87-6518 is attached for further information. COn 6/4/87, 19 year old pled guilty to purchasing alcoholic beverages by an underaged person. On 6/25/87 Mr. BELLE- FEUILLE pled guilty to selling alcoholic beverages to a person underage. Both individuals were fined $100 in court costs. Sentencing was stayed if no similar violations were committed within a year of their court dates. AY: The licensee has had an off sale intoxicating liquor license at this location since 1978. During this time only one other liquor violation was discovered, that being on 12/21/85. A reprimand and probationary disposi- tion was assessed by the City Council at that time. On 9/13/85 a clerk employed by the licensee assisted in apprehending of a minor attempting to purchase liquor, using the drivers license of another. Additionally, police have responded to 24 service and crime related calls at the Party Mart since 1985. These have included, medicals, vehicle lock outs, animal complaints, accidents, found property, thefts by check, other property thefts and damage to property. Administrative Hearing Advisory Party Mart Liquors Page 2. RECOMMENDATION: The licensee shows no history of felony related liquor violations. For the most part, the licensee has complied with statute and ordinance provisions with the exception of those incidents cited above. Therefore, revocation of the license would seem inappropriate. However, I do believe that the council should consider the facts of this matter at a public hearing in order to effectively address the interests of the community. In my opinion, this forum would be an appropriate course of action considering the fact 'there has been one previous violation within a seventeen month period. Any sanction less than revocation warning, suspension, fine, or combination) would be advisable considerations that are within the perview of the ordinance. cc: Frank Boyles Laurie Brandt Lt.

SITE PLAN, VARIANCES, AND LIGHTING PLAN (87049) SUMMARY: The City Council approved the Site Plan, Conditional Use Permit and certain Variances under Resolution No. 87-449 on duly 6, 1987. At the petitioner's request, the Council deferred consideration of several of the variances. The Council also specified that the lighting plan was not approved until further analysis by the petitioner's lighting consultant. Direction was given to the petitioner regarding the analysis of the lighting plan. The items requiring Council action at this time, then, are Site Plan Variances, Sign Variances, and the Lighting Plan. 1. Two Site Plan Variances are for parking space to the front lot line (0 ft. versus the Ordinance required 20 ft.) in the northwest corner of the site. This area is proposed to be used for the display of vehicles only and not for customer park- ing. The other related variance would leave the above area unpaved (parking on sod), whereas, the Ordinance requires parking and driving areas to be paved. The Planning Commission recommendation was: Approval of the variance request to allow 0 ft. versus the Ordinance required 20 ft. in the northwest corner of the site; and, to allow display vehicles to be parked on an unpaved surface using precast "paver block" strips upon which the vehicles can be moved and parked and through which grass can grow and give the appearance of green space. The petitioner has explored ways to acquire or to gain use of the public land beyond this area which, to the petitioner, presents an obstruction to the site. The property is not controlled by the City and its status is tied to the freeway right-of-way and the existing (Xenium Lane) road configuration which will change eventually as this area fully develops. 2. The Sign Variances include one for directional signage which was partially granted in the Resolution, consistent with the Planning Commission recommendation. The petitioner also requests two additional sign variances: Page two Memorandum to City Manager City Council Meeting August 3, 1987 July 30, 1987 2. (cont'd) a. Variance for a free standing pylon sign of 155 sq. ft. versus the Ordinance maximum of 96 sq. ft.; and, a height of 38 ft. versus 36 ft. The Planning Commission recommended a height variance to allow the 38 ft. height. The Planning Commission did not recommend the variance for area. b. The petitioner requests a variance to allow a second free standing pylon sign of 75 sq. ft. versus the Ordinance allowance of one pylon (not to exceed 96 sq. ft.). This sign was needed to "advertise" the Used Car portion of the business. The Planning Commission did not recommend approval of that variance for a second pylon sign. The petitioner has submitted written material regarding the signage. The new materials submitted by the applicant regarding signage essentially points out that other dealerships in the Twin Cities have common signage which is design- ed and produced at the direction of Ford Motor Company. The petitioner made the observation at the Planning Commission hearing that the other two car dealerships in Plymouth have signage in excess of current Ordinance standards. The latter observation is true in that both dealerships have signage approved under a wholly different Ordinance; the signage at those dealerships was considered when the Planning Commission and City Council, several years ago, updated and amended the sign regulations in the Zoning Ordinance. There is not, in our view, a precedent established by the other car dealerships. Nor, in our view, is there a precedent set for or a burden placed upon the City to necessarily allow signage that is com- mon to certain businesses in other communities. Consideration of the sign regulation variance requests should be on the merits of this proposed for this site. Finding for a variance should include specific reference to uniqueness and hardship; and, not just economic convenience (common industry signage). The Council may find it helpful to consider the distinction between signage intended for identification of a site versus the desire to advertise and promote a product or service. The Plymouth Ordinance does not provide specifically for a free -way zone; business signage for businesses that happen to be near a free -way or which abut a free -way are the same as for businesses further removed. 3. The City Council required a lighting plan which addressed concerns that came up at the Council meeting. The Council directed that additional information should address adequate lighting for security, impact of all lighting upon the property to the south, and to the southeast; and, the impact of existing area lighting on the site. The petitioner has submitted narrative materials regarding the lighting and has submitted a revised luminnaire plan. The plan indicates that the lighting would be concentrated on the property and there is not evidence of glare which would extend beyond the limits of the site. Ll Page three Memorandum to City Manager City Council Meeting August 3, 1987 July 30, 1987 The Council should adopt the attached Resolution which would approve the lighting plan. I have also included in the Resolution, language regarding the Site Plan Variance and the Signage Variance which were recommended by the Planning Commission. The language I have used is exactly the language that was in the draft Resolution considered by the City Council on duly 6, 1987. If the Council wishes to modify the Commission's recommendation or to approve the signage variance not recommended by the Commission, that can be incorporated into this Resolution at the meeting.

A Site Plan Variance is approved to allow 0 ft. versus the Ordinance required 20 ft. in the northwest corner of the site; and, to allow display vehicles to be parked on an unpaved surface using precast "paver block" strips upon which the vehicles can be moved and parked and through which grass can grow and give the appearance of greenspace. 3. The Variance is approved for one 38 ft. high pylon sign versus the Ordinance re- quired 36 ft. height. The pylon area shall not exceed the Ordinance maximum of 96 sq. ft.

PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS Director Tremere stated the Planning Commission considered this request on dune 10 and recommended approval including some, but not all, the -variances requested. Rather than a variance, a conditional use permit could include outside display of new cars near the building. The developer is anxious to move for- ward because of a time deadline in moving out of an existing facility. Their attorney is requesting that matter of the yard setback and freestanding sign area variances not be approved at this time but be considered at the duly 20 meeting because of efforts the petitioner is making to acquire the piece of land to the north which is owned by the State. Councilmember Crain asked why no deposit is required for erosion control in the development contract. Director Moore answered that the site performance guarantee covers erosion control. Councilmember Sisk asked why two different plans were submitted. Director Tremere answered that one plan shows what the Planning Commission considered and one was submitted by the petitioner after the Commission meeting and illustrates the petitioner's view of the proposed and recommended variances. The main difference is the representation of the number of cars for dis- play in the north area. Richard Brokke, Powell Lincoln Mercury, stated that, in order to make this work, a number of different designs were proposed. He explained the variance requested and those approved by the Plan- ning Commission. Director Tremere pointed out that the Planning Commission didn't limit the number of cars, but did express concern about conges- tion in the display areas. Mr. Brokke stated the ,joint access easement on the lot was addressed by reducing the land required from Amoco from 15 ft. to 9 ft.

Councilmember Crain stated he would like to table the matter to give the petitioner the right to discuss this with the Council at a later meeting.

Powell Lincoln-Mercury Honorable Council Members City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, Mn. 55447 Dear Council Members: f JUL k^ 1987 The following revisions have been made under condition 4115 regarding site lighting. Please review the new Photometric plan to understand the revisions made. 1. On the Southerly property line area, the security light poles have been reduced from 30 feet to 25 feet. 2. The fixtures on the same poles have been changed from 1000 watts to 400 watts. 3. The two fixtures on the East property line have been moved into the property 80 feet and rotated to direct light into the site to eliminate glare on Amoco site and property immediately south. 4. To clearify light levels, the candle power values have been documented at each Photometric division. 5. An additional fixture was added along the south line to provide adequate security lighting. This was necessary to eliminate a "Dark Spot" created by the modifications listed above. Without the addition of this fixture, the light level would be less than .5 foot candles for a distance along the south parking curb of 200 feet. By reviewing the revised plan, it should become evident that the revisions have greatly reduced the light intensity, glare and spillage onto the southern properties. As indicated by the light graduation rings, vertually all spillage of light is less than .1 foot candle with the modifications to the fixture and the use of existing light sheilds. 800 West Broadway - Minneapolis, Minnesota 55411 - (612) 588-0561 I urge the council to accept this lighting plan since it is well within the cities standard requirements and we have made a substantial effort to satisfy the councils concerns for the properties to the south.

June 19, 1987 Chicago District sales office 2225 W. North Avenue Melrose Park, Illinois 80180 7o q 55411 This is in reference to your request for additional information regarding the Ford Motor Company Dealership Identification Program. The Ford Motor Dealership Identification Program, which was the first in the automotive industry, was established over twenty years ago. The purpose of the Dealership Identification was to provide uniform signs for all Ford and Lincoln-Mercury dealers. The Program is available to all Ford Motor Company dealers provided they meet the company facilities size and appearance standards and other critieria as may be specified by the Company. The signage program has been well accepted over the last twenty years by both the dealers and local governmental units because it eliminated a hodgepodge of old signs" with coordinated signs. During our discussions you indicated that the City of Plymouth had some questions regarding the Lincoln-Mercury Brand signs (B-2-20-155 ML) which is the sign recommended and authorized for the new facility being planned for Powell Lincoln-Mercury, Inc. Factors such as, normal visual acuity, reaction distance, and the speed of traffic on I-494 and Rockford Road indicate that the authorized B-2-20-lSS ML) Lincoln-Mercury sign is necessary to provide proper identification. We also feel proper identification is necessary to make Powell Lincoln- Mercury competitive with other dealers in your market place. The two other dealers in Plymouth have signs larger then the proposed Lincoln- Mercury Brand sign. In addition, all of the Lincoln-Mercury dealers in the Twin Cities metro area have the authorized (B-2-20-155 ML) Brand sign. These include Coon 2 - Rapid Lincoln-Mercury, which opened in October, 1986, and Burnsville Lincoln-Mercury, which will open this fall. The following Lincoln- Mercury dealerships all have the (B-2-20-155 ML) Brand sign. Prestige Lincoln-Mercury St. Louis Park, MN Quality Lincoln-Mercury Minneapolis, MN White Bear Lincoln-Mercury St. Paul, MN Wilkins Lincoln-Mercury St. Paul, MN Burnsville Lincoln-Mercury Burnsville, MN Coon Rapids Lincoln-Mercury Coon Rapids, MN Enclosed is some additional information regarding the Ford Dealership Identification Program. We will be happy to provide you and the City of Plymouth with any additional information that is necessary. We feel that the (B-2-20-155 ML) Brand sign is necessary for Powell Lincoln-Mercury to he a viable and competitive Lincoln-Mercury dealership in Plymouth. Sincerely, JO, rt C.

Consequently, two individual accesses are required and should be clearly defined to eliminate unnecessary traffic conjestion and potential accidents on Vinewood Lane. We feel it would be in the best interest of the public to clearly identify the "Sales" entrance and the Parts/Service entrance with illuminated signs shown and located on the site plan. We therefore request a variance for the maximum allowable directional signage to be increased from 4 square feet to 42 square feet. PILON: RE: Ordinance allowance one 96 square foot Pilon sign. As an automobile sales organization, selling new and used automobiles, we request a variance to the signage ordinance allowing the installation of one 155 square foot brand sign to be located as shown on the site plan. The (B2-20-155), brand sign is the best alternative and complies with Ford Motor Company standards. Since the majority of the exposure will occur from 494, it's vital that the sign be readable at such distance. Since an auto dealership also relies on used vehicle sales, it is essential that a used car sign be posted on the frontage to indicate used car availability. The ordinance does not allow for more than one pilon sign. We therefore request a variance to allow the display of a 75 square foot used car sign as described in the site plan. From an economic standpoint, at lease sixty percent of our present auto sales are in used vehicles. Since we are a new car franchise, many potential customers may be passing us by, assuming we sell new cars only. The display of the used car sign is an integral part of our economic success and therefore a "must". 7. RIANCE REQUEST SUPPLEMENT %1 DISPLAY PARKING SETBACK: MAY ? r 1937 CITY dr Powell Industries, Inc. , hereby requests a variance Mlc},I!Iji D,};i temporary curbing and display parking at the property line or at "0" setback along the north and east property lines which are connecting with or common to the west property line of American Oil Companies property. The purpose of this request is to obtain maximum utilization of the available land for display parking and traffic circulation. Future expansion identified on site plan will allow parking within requirements at such time. Poor soil conditions on the east portion of the property have dictated the location of the building to be on the west parcel. However, the unusual topography and the restrictive southern boundary line crowds the site on the North and South boundary lines. The original proposed site plan only allowed for display parking at the building front, which is one hundred and forty feet from County Road 9. This distance is excessive and ineffective for display purposes. With a "0" setback variance, display vehicles could be effectively displayed within eighty feet of County Road 9 along the north boundary line. Allowing this variance should not impose upon future development of the adjoining property since the parcel it effects is now state owned and future development is not planned. During recent conversations with Mr. Ken Cloek of the Department of Right of Ways, it was indicated that Powell Industries, Inc., would be the recipient of the tract lying between County Road 9 and the north property line of the pro- posed site in accordance with Lis Pendens #3518880 and State Statute 161-44, Sub. Div.3. Powell Industries, Inc., is actively seeking ownership of the same tract for future landscaping and display parking designed to comply with the 20' setback ordinance. Unfortunately, acquisition of the parcel will require in excess of one years time due to the reconstruction of County Road 9. We urge that the honorable members of the City Council will review the site plans and identify the necessity of our requested variance. See attached information.

Commissioner Marofsky stated he would abstain from the discussion and the vote on this item. He stepped down. Discussion ensued regarding parliamentary procedure and it was confirmed that a Commissioner would not be required to state his reasons for abstention. The Commission members accepted Commissioner Marofsky's decision. Vice Chairman Pauba requested that Planner Cottingham provide an overview of the dune 1, 1987 staff report. 123- PETITIONER'S RICHARD BROKKE POWELL LINCOLN MERCURY REZONING, PRELIMINARY PLAT, SITE PLAN, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCE 87049) Page 124 Planning Commission Minutes June 10, 1987 Commissioner Plufka requested that staff discuss the situa- tion with Xenium Lane; the vacation of land; and, the development of other properties in this area. Planner Cottingham pointed out on the graphic that Xenium Lane will curve in an east/west direction and intersect with Northwest Blvd. (County Road 61), but the exact alignment is not known at this time. Commissioner Plufka inquired about the Vinewood cul-de-sac and confirmed that as development occurs Vinewood Lane will be extended: Commissioner Zylla inquired about the development east of this site. Planner Cottingham explained the development of Cottonwood Plaza. The plat contains another commercial lot which has not received development consideration. He also explained the work being accomplished for utility extension, and development of the service road. Vice Chairman Pauba introduced Mr. Rick Brokke, Powell Lincoln Mercury, and his attorney, Mr. David Davenport. Mr. Davenport introduced Mr. Fran Hagen, Jr., Westwood Plan- ning, and Mr. Russell J. Saulon, R.J. Saulon Architects. Mr. Davenport explained the request and advised that his presentation would be focused on the variance requests. He noted that the plan exceeds the Ordinance parking require- ments and that lot coverage would be only 11%. He stated the request for variances is important to the development of the site and operation of the business. He inquired if the Commission had visited the site; they answered affirmatively. Mr. Davenport explained the topography which includes severe slopes; most of the easterly portion of the site has poor soil conditions and the fill materials consist of broken concrete and other material which would be cost prohibitive to remove and replace. The site configuration is irregular. The developer had attempted to acquire the property to the south, however, the property is held in trust; the owners do not wish to sell the land. He stated that the southerly boundary has severe slopes and contains a drainage swale; these constraints have dictated the building layout and design. The developer would have proposed a larger struc- ture if the land area were less constrained. They will not be able to have a full-service dealership as there is no room for a body shop. Page 125 Planning Commission Minutes June 10, 1987 Mr. Davenport stated he would discuss each variance request separately. The first would be for the drive aisle setback of 0 ft. vs. the Ordinance required 10 ft. He pointed out the loading dock and the problem with the requirement for green space and the need for space to maneuver semi -trailer trucks. To move the structure 10 ft. to the south could have been accomplished with a plan which called for access to Xenium Lane; however, this is no longer possible. Moving the structure to the north cannot be accomplished because of the severe slope and would negate the ramp necessary for handicap accessibility required for the facility. To move the structure to the south would place it in close proximity to the drainage swale. Commissioner Plufka stated that in reviewing the plans, it appears there would be no other entrances or any reason for anyone, other than employees, to be back of the building. Mr. Saulon, Architect, stated this area is planned for servicing new cars. Commissioner Plufka noted the reason for the setback is to provide adequate space for pedestrians and he inquired if this would be the case and would people be safe from moving vehicles? Mr. Davenport stated this would not be intended by this design, customers would not be walking here. Mr. Saulon stated the showroom is elevated from this area and would have a customer entrance at the front. Commissioner Plufka stated he assumed that with semi -trailer trucks at the dock and the cars there for service, this would not constitute a blockage to the balance of the site. Mr. Saulon stated there would be adequate space for vehicles and he explained the access aisle would be open even with the truck at the dock. Commissioner Zylla inquired about the loss of parking spaces. Mr. Davenport explained that the plan exceeds the Ordinance requirement by 29 spaces; the variance request is made because of the physical constraints previously stated. Commissioner Zylla commented that staff had indicated alter- nate designs were possible to eliminate the variances, and inquired if alternate plans had been considered? Mr. Saulon stated some alternate plans were done but none were present- ed to staff because of the poor soil conditions; prohibitive costs concerning the fill; and, the detriment to the struc- ture. Commissioner Zylla inquired how far to the north would the building need to be moved to eliminate any variances? Mr Saulon responded, 12 ft.; however, there is the constraint of the dock location and the need to maintain an open drive aisle for emergency vehicles. Commissioner Wire inquired about the street vacation and the remnant parcel and, would the parcel to the north be large enough to build on? Planner Cottingham stated it would be consolidated as it cannot stand alone. Commissioner Wire Page 126 Planning Commission Minutes June 10, 1987 inquired about the right-of-way taken from the west. Plan- ner Cottingham stated it would most likely go back to the property owners who gave up the right-of-way, and may come back as part of this property. Commissioner Zylla stated that property turned back to the State is appraised and can be sold, it may be offered to those from whom it was taken but it would not be given to them. Mr. Davenport concur- red. He noted the State would need to see what transpires once County Road 9 is completed and the land would not be declared "surplus" for quite some time. Commissioner Wire inquired if the dock area could be moved to provide better truck maneuverability? Mr. Saulon stated the location is a given because of the plan guide issued by Ford and the developer is required to use it in the design of a Ford dealership. Also, there is little room to the south and during the study of the site and circulation, this was the best solution. Commissioner Wire commented this seemed to be the worst area to bring in trucks. Mr. Saulon pointed out the problems created by the site configuration and the need to maximize efficiency on the site. He sug- gested that if they could have planned the site using the State-owned land from the start they could have worked this out; but in fact it is not part of their site and could not be used for their plans. Commissioner Plufka inquired how frequently semi -trailer trucks will enter the site? Mr. Davenport stated it would be 3 times a week. Commissioner Wire inquired about the area on the east side where there will no longer be an entrance. Mr. Saulon stated the plan is the best to create and maintain clean circulation on the site. Mr. Davenport stated the next variance for discussion is the request to allow parking display vehicles in the patio area in front of the building (0 ft. versus the Ordinance re- quired 20 ft.). He stated the parking is on paved and curbed areas on the apron which is an outdoor "extension" of the showroom and on the island delineator. He believes this is a preview area that will be used by many new dealerships. Commissioner Plufka stated that cars should not be parked on sodded areas. Mr. Davenport and Commissioner Plufka discus- sed the area which borders the State-owned land; that the petitioner wishes to park vehicles along this boundary as they cannot obtain the State land. Mr. Brokke stated that an alternative could be the use of two parallel lines of precast "paver blocks" which would prevent tire contact with the sod and turf, yet would retain the appearance of a green area. Page 127 Planning Commission Minutes June 10, 1987 Mr. Saulon explained the material is used for emergency vehicle access lanes. Mr. Davenport stated the next variance request is for directional signage. He explained that the Ordinance maxi- mum is 4 ft.; however, Ford's specifications call for signs, each being 21 sq. ft. If the petitioner is required to have signage specially designed it will be at his own expense, rather than being able to use the signs provided by Ford. However, the expense to the petitioner is not the problem, but the importance of the variance request is to be able to give clear direction to the customers and visitors for Sales" and "Parts & Service" locations. It is equally important that the customer driving to the site have good direction into the site to maintain the optimum circula- tion. He explained the distances and visual problems. Commissioner Plufka felt the first sign reading "Sales" would be adequate at 4 sq. ft., but the sign which would be 200 ft. to the south would be a concern. 21 sq. ft. may not be needed, but perhaps 8 sq. ft. would be appropriate. Mr. Davenport explained the two access points and the distance. He stated they want 2 pylon signs, one of which would be two feet higher than the Ordinance maximum, because as drivers approach the I-494 and County Road 9 ramp, the building will not be visible. Mr. Fran Hagen, Jr., further explained the ramp elevations and natural berms over which they have no control. Mr. Davenport stated the proposed signage would give customers a good opportunity to react to get on the ramp, rather than missing the exit and having to double back. Commissioner Plufka inquired if anything would be gained by moving the first pylon sign southerly along the east border. Mr. Hagen stated this would be of little benefit because of the land mass. Mr. Davenport stated the second pylon would identify that Ford Lincoln Mercury has "Used Cars", and again visbility is important. He noted that the Superior Ford and Walser Chevrolet dealerships were allowed their signage under previous Ordinance standards, and thus, were allowed more square footage and better visibility. Mr. Davenport said the signs at the other dealerships should be considered in the evaluation of the proposed signs. Planner Cottingham confirmed the number of signs and variances that amended the original sign plans at the other dealerships. Page 128 Planning Commission Minutes June 10, 1987 Mr. Davenport stated that a City condition for development would be removal of the advertising sign (billboard). He noted the large size of the billboard and explained the pro- posed signage is less offensive and much smaller. Vice Chairman Pauba stated his concern in approving this re- quest would be setting a precedent where future petitioners could in good faith ask for the same variance. Mr. Davenport stated there is only a few other sites in Plymouth that would accommodate a car dealership and there are no utilities on some of the sites at this time. Vice Chairman Pauba noted it is not only car dealerships that concern him, but other businesses who feel they need the visibility gained from large signs. Mr. Davenport stated each request must be reviewed on its own merits. Commissioner Wire inquired if the petitioner could request permission for additional banners, search lights, and other special event materials that eventually go along with these dealerships? Planner Cottingham stated that under the cur- rent Zoning Ordinance this would not be allowed with the exception of "Special Event" Conditional Use Permits such as those for "Grand Openings", which are reviewed by staff, are limited in scope and, must meet certain criteria. Commissioner Plufka concurred with Vice Chairman Pauba, that other cities and Plymouth are exposed to those national businesses which have "canned sign programs" that come in large, larger, and hugemongous!" -- which is important to keep in mind. Mr. Davenport emphasized their request is not based on an economic hardship, but that there would be difficulty in purchasing and designing custom-made signs. Mr. Davenport stated the next variance request is for a 0 ft. setback versus the Ordinance required 20 ft. for parking to the front lot line. This area would be used for display vehicles only. He explained that, if the State owned land became available they would diligently pursue acquiring that land so the variance could be negated in the future. He suggested this could be a condition of approval. Without the variance they would only be able to display 15 new cars, with the variance they can display 42 vehicles. He explained that it would be more than just an operational Inconvenience to be restricted by 65% of the number of desired display cars and, if the display areas are remote from the customer area, this would create a problem during inclement weather. Page 129 Planning Commission Minutes June 10, 1987 He suggested they could provide a covenant for control, maintenance and aesthetic problems between the development site and County Road 9. He explained the softening effect of the proposed greenspace. Mr. Davenport summarized the reasons for the variance re- quests which would provide the petitioner reasonable use of his land: Slopes; soil conditions; display versus parking; signage similar to other 'dealerships; signs smaller than existing billboard; and, directional sign needs to facilitate traffic. Commissioner Plufka stated he takes exception to the last variance request; that he has visited comparable dealerships to look at new cars and this proposal looks very much like new car storage, not a display area; and, he does not believe vehicle storage is appropriate for the front of the building. Mr. Brokke stated the graphic distorts this issue because of the size and proportion of the used car area. He stated that vehicles would be circulating with people driv- ing demos; and, that the area will change routinely so that it always looks attractive to the customers. Commissioner Zylla inquired about the exterior building materials; and, plans for the property to the east. Mr. Saulon stated they would use masonry block (a burnished block that can be different color variations). This would be natural tones, the block is autoclaved and is similar to tile construction as the color goes through the block. The top of the building will have an architectural metal canopy. The canopy is anodized bronze, it weathers well and blends naturally with its surroundings. Mr. Saulon noted that stucco and glass will also be used and that "Cottonwood Plaza" will also utilize burnished block so there will be a continuity of style and color. Vice Chairman Pauba opened the Public Hearing. Mr. R. Theodore Anderson, 5520 Halifax Avenue North, stated he is trustee of the property to the south and is opposed to a parking lot adjacent to his property. He is also worried about drainage. City Engineer Goldberg stated there will be a temporary holding pond constructed for water storage and internal runoff. Mr. Anderson stated he has requested that a drainage easement be required. Vice Chairman Pauba closed the Public Hearing.

MOTION by Commissioner Plufka, seconded by Vice Chairman Pauba to Amend the Main Motion by adding an exception to Condition No. 13 to recommend approval of the Variance request for the drive -aisle setback to the building of 0 ft. versus the Ordinance required 10 ft. based on the unique shape of this parcel and the poor soils conditions which are physical constraints for development of the site. Commissioner Wire stated concern about the issue of semi- trailer truck maneuverability and, Mr. Anderson's concern with a parking lot being adjacent to his property. He believes there should be space given for a buffer to Mr. Anderson's property. He believes the State land will become available and the plans should be revised to shift the building to the north. Commissioner Zylla stated concern because, a site this large should be designed to minimize the need for any vari- ances for new construction. However, he understands that the building can only be constructed on a certain portion of the site and there are problems with site configuration. He could support those variances which are clearly based on the uniqueness of the site, its configuration and physical constraints. Commissioner Plufka reiterated the physical constraints of this site noting that it is not known or assured that the State-owned land would be available to assist the petitioner in correcting any of these problems. MOTION TO AMEND Page 131 Planning Commission Minutes June 10, 1987 Roll Call Vote. 3 Ayes. Commissioner Wire, Nay. MOTION carried. MOTION by Commissioner Plufka, seconded by Commissioner Wire to Amend the Main Motion by adding an exception to Condition No. 13 to recommend approval of the Variance request to allow display vehicles to be parked on an unpaved surface using precast "paver block" strips upon which the vehicles can be moved and parked; and, through which grass can grow and give the appearance of green space. Roll Call Vote. 4 Ayes. MOTION carried. VOTE - MOTION CARRIED MOTION TO AMEND VOTE - MOTION CARRIED MOTION by Commissioner Plufka, seconded by Commissioner Wire MOTION TO AMEND to Amend the Main Motion by adding an exception to Condition No. 13 to recommend approval for a variance for an 8 sq. ft. directional sign identifying the entrance to "Parts and Service", all other directional signage shall meet the Ordinance maximum 4 sq. ft. Commissioner Plufka based the recommendation on giving bet- ter site circulation and enhancing traffic safety considerations. Commissioner Zylla stated this could become an emotional issue by denying similar requests for signage that would exceed the Ordinance maximums. He is concerned about set- ting a dangerous precedent. He can only support the vari- ance request if there is justification by past practices and approvals by the City. Commissioner Plufka stated this would be no different than the directional signage approved for Trammell Crow's Plymouth Business Center. The signage must be sized for aesthetics but also must function for traffic circulation and safety. Planner Cottingham explained the variance approved for Trammell Crow Company for Plymouth Business Center to exceed the Ordinance maximum for directional signage on their site. Commissioner Zylla confirmed that the variance is granted to accomplish workable site circulation; and, the signage is unique to this site for those reasons. Roll Call Vote. 4 Ayes. MOTION carried. VOTE - MOTION CARRIED Commissioner Plufka stated that the potential for a "mass" of signage is a concern. He inquired if the petitioner would move the pylon sign from the corner; this would take it from County Road 9 to some degree, but would still be visible to I-494. Mr. Brokke stated he would have no problem having this done. Page 132 Planning Commission Minutes June 10, 1987 MOTION by Commissioner Plufka, seconded by Vice Chairman Pauba to Amend the Main Motion by adding an exception to Condition 13. to recommend approval for a pylon sign of 155 sq. ft. versus the Ordinance maximum 96 sq. ft. and a height of 38 ft. versus 36 ft., based on the fact that this vari- ance is fair and uniform in terms of this type of business operation and, that it meets the Variance Criteria. Commissioner Plufka further noted that larger signs adver- tising businesses on the freeways are also a safety factor because of the fast moving traffic on the interstates. It may be that the City should review Ordinance sign regula- tions for areas along freeways. Commissioner Wire concurred, but does not believe anyone will have trouble seeing this sign. He confirmed the size of the billboard. Mr. Brokke stated their concern was the timing to enable a driver to turn at the appropriate ramp from the freeway to the dealership. Commissioner Wire stated this corner will change to some degree with develop- ment. He stated the 2 ft. variance in height is not a problem, but the square footage of the sign is a concern. Commissioner Plufka stated there is again the element of safety by having total recognizability by this sign; and that the sign built expressly for the dealership is best. Commissioner Zylla stated the for approval are within the ards and are unique to the departing in a major way from support the variance request. earlier variances recommended scope of the Ordinance stand - site, however, this would be the Zoning Code and he cannot Vice Chairman Pauba agreed. It is his opinion that the sign regulations of the Ordinance should be reviewed and, if there are flaws, the Ordinance should be amended; however, he cannot support this variance request. Commissioner Wire stated he understands that other car dealerships in Plymouth have obtained larger signage through previous Ordinance standards and by variance request. He believes it would make more sense, and he would be able to support having one over -size sign, rather than two under- sized pylon signs. Mr. Brokke discussed the need to inform their customers through one sign that they have "used cars", noting that dealerships in the metro area display similar signs. Commissioner Plufka inquired about the signs at the car dealerships in Plymouth. Planner Cottingham stated that original approvals in the 1970's were given for several pylon signs. The signs were later removed at one dealer MOTION TO AMEND Page 133 Planning Commission Minutes June 10, 1987 after the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals approved a variance for one pylon sign 47 ft. in height and 225 sq. ft., which reduced the overall square footage. Commissioner Plufka stated that because of the setback to County Road 18 for these dealerships, it would not be inappropriate to grant a variance that would give this petitioner similar visibility from a major roadway and because the facility would be constructed in a depression below the roadway. Further discussion ensued on area signage and the rationale on how much a moving vehicle can identify from roadway sign- age; and, whether the advertising on television, radio, and mail distribution would have more impact. Roll Call Vote. Commissioners Wire and Plufka, Aye. Com- VOTE - TIE missioners Zylla and Vice Chairman Pauba, Nay. Tie Vote. MOTION FAILS MOTION fails. Further discussion ensued regarding area signage. Commis- sioner Wire inquired about the signage for "Cottonwood Plaza". Planner Cottingham explained the signage program for this retail development and that no variances were granted. He pointed out all the signage proposed for this area. Mr. David Davenport stated that Ford Company is not dictat- ing that the proposed signage shall be used and custom signs can be done; however, it looks as though other dealerships have been dealt with more favorably through previous Ordin- ance regulations and variances the City has granted. He noted the seeming incongruity of the existing billboard which is allowed by Ordinance; and, which must be removed by this petitioner. However, this petitioner would not be allowed to replace this large billboard with signage of their own that would be less square footage. Commissioner Plufka stated Mr. Davenport's statements may stimulate the City to further review the sign regulations; however, it would not be realistic to discuss changing the Ordinance now. The current Ordinance reflects the policy determination to not allow the type of signs permitted by earlier ordinances. Director Tremere explained the Ordinance Conditional Use Permit standard which permits advertising signs in this zon- ing district. Such advertising signs are to be removed upon development. That was the consideration and requirement of the permit for the large sign on this site. Also, auto dealerships are not distinguished from other businesses for sign purposes. MOTION by Commissioner Plufka, seconded by Vice Chairman MOTION TO AMEND Pauba to Amend the Main Motion by adding an exception to Page 134 Planning Commission Minutes June 10, 1987 Condition No. 13. to recommend approval for the variance request for one 38 ft. high pylon sign, versus the Ordinance required 36 ft. The pylon sign area shall not exceed the Ordinance maximum 96 sq. ft. Roll Call Vote. 4 Ayes. MOTION carried. VOTE - MOTION CARRIED Commissioner Plufka moved to amend the main motion by adding MOTION TO AMEND an exception to Condition No. 13 to recommend approval of the variance request for the second pylon sign of 75 sq. ft; and, that a condition of approval be that the 38 ft. high, 96 sq. ft. pylon sign be located south of the northwest corner of the site to orient that sign to I-494; and that the 75 sq. ft. pylon sign be permitted at County Road 9. The Motion died for lack of second. Commissioner Plufka moved to amend the main motion by adding an exception to Condition No. 13 to recommend approval of the variance request for parking to the building of 0 ft. versus the Ordinance minimum of 10 ft. to allow display vehicles next to the building and that no more than 10 vehicles be parked in this area. The Motion died for lack of second. Planner Cottingham explained the setback variance is for only one tier of cars, and pointed out the locations on the graphic. Further discussion ensued. Commissioner Plufka moved to amend the main motionby adding an exception to Condition No. 13 to recommend approval of the variance request for parking to the building of 0 ft. Motion died for lack of second. Commissioner Wire inquired about possible revisions to the landscape plan as proposed. He believes Black Hills Spruce should be added on the southwest side of the site. Planner Cottingham stated this could be possible, however, there may be problems with the severe slopes. Director Tremere said that specific direction should be given so that the Site Improvement Performance Agreement reflects the specific landscape requirements. Mr. Davenport explained that the retaining wall would make it physically impossible to place trees in this area. Further discussion ensued regarding topography and the location of the retaining wall. Mr. Saulon confirmed the area of concern on the west side, down the triangle. Page 135 Planning Commission Minutes June 10, 1987 MOTION by Commissioner Wire, seconded by Vice Chairman Pauba to Amend the Main Motion to add Condition No. 14 to revise the Landscape Plan, increasing the number of trees by adding Black Hills Spruce trees on the west and south sides so that the screening is consistent with the treatment on the southeast side.

Vice Chairman Pauba introduced J h Stockman, Attorney, representing Mr. Hertzenberg. M Stockton discussed the issue of the variance request. a oted that the circum- stance is unique in that Mr. He zenber 's property plus the land he acquired thatwas va ted for Qua r Lane, leaves a parcel to be divided into o lots which ar only 3% under the Zoning Ordinance s dard for lot size ' the R -1A Zoning District. T second lot will be ed for residential construct n and, development of the p erty removes an attract a nuisance and enhances the sa y factor for the n ghborhood. Granting the variance wil allow Mr. Hertze erg reasonable use of the land. Mr. Stockton Vated that across Quaker Lane is a lot which is less th 18,500 sq. ft. and, the lot behind the petitioner' property is less than current standards. The proposedt division would create lots which would be larger ttuIsome other lots in the area. He believes the variance meets the ordinance variance criteria and the division is consistent with the neighborhood plan. He noted there is only one other vacant lot in the vicinity and this is approximately 20,000 sq. ft.

Winter Survivability of four Colorado Spruce This item was scheduled for the duly 20, 1987 City Council meeting and the petitioner requested that it be deferred to the meeting of August 3, 1987.

There was a question of winter survivablity. The developer initially planted more landscaping than that originally approved by the City Council. Some of these plantings died and were either removed or replaced; they were above and beyond the number and varieties on the approved plan; the only plantings which need to demonstrate survival through another winter growing season are the plantings listed above.

Page 163 Planning Commission Minutes July 22, 1987 Chairman Steigerwald introduced the request by Wagner Spray Tech and an overview of the duly 15, 1987 staff report was provided by Coordinator Anderson. Commissioner Marofsky confirmed with Coordinator Anderson that they are proposing a shared drive between Lots 2 and 3, as well as Lot 1. Engineer Goldberg stated that Condition No. 9 relative to shared drive easements could be expanded to reflect this proposal. Chairman Steigerwald introduced Mr. Kenneth Ester, Wagner Spray Tech. Mr. Ester had no questions or comments. Chair- man Steigerwald opened the Public Hearing. Lawrence McGowan, 14300 County Road 6, stated he is most likely the source of information circulating in the neigh- borhood regarding retail businesses going on this property. He stated he heard from a reliable source that a "PDQ Store" was going in on this corner, along with a service station. He is concerned about the glare of lights from these businesses into his home; and, about the access on 17th Avenue. He wants to know what types of businesses will be going on this property. Mr. Ester stated the plans are for a showroom/ warehouse/ office facility, it will be light industrial similar to other areas of Fernbrook Lane; however, the site is too small for a large scale factory. Mr. McGowan stated he advised other people in the neighbor- hood about what he had heard regarding development of this property. He lives on the corner and semitrailer trucks moving through here cannot make the turn. There is a light pole on the corner which has been hit; drivers who are familiar with the corner do alright; but outsiders don't maneuver well and have shot the median and have taken the sign down on several occasions. Engineer Goldberg stated the City is aware of the problem and is working on resolving it. LeRoy Reinke, 1411 County Road 6, stated he is concerned about possible redevelopment on the other side of County Road 6. He noted that the City has bought one home and inquired if the other house, which is empty now, is City owned? Director Tremere confirmed this and further explain- ed that, on the south side of County Road 6, the zoning is R -1A (single family residential); the other side is zoned for industrial use. Mr. Reinke asked if this is an expansion of the Industrial Zone? Chairman Steigerwald explained that the area is WAGNER SPRAY TECH REZONING, PRELIMINARY 87030) Page 164 Planning Commission Minutes July 22, 1987 guided for industrial use and the platting includes the re- zoning of the property to I-1 (planned industrial), which is appropriate. Mr. Reinke inquired about the City's plans. Director Tremere explained and showed the plans for the construction of the interchange; and, the drainage area for Parkers Lake. Mr. Reinke inquired about Conditional Use Permits that can be issued for industrial property; and, for what type of business could it be used? Chairman Steigerwald and Director Tremere explained that a Conditional Use Permit could be considered for retail and service businesses which would be essential to the Industrial District, and only for the use of those persons in that District. A Conditional Use Permit must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission and City Council. However, this is not being considered tonight. Mr. Reinke inquired about the businesses that might go here. Mr. Ester stated their use is strictly industrial, they may sell lots for development, but these would be industrially zoned. Mr. Reinke stated he is concerned about any stores that would have late hours. Chairman Steigerwald noted that property owners within 500 ft. are notified regarding the public hearing for review of a Conditional Use Permit. Dennis Evenson, 1711 Fernbrook Lane, inquired about the access and drives to the property. Mr. Ester explained the parking would be on the north side of the building and will have a common access. Chairman Steigerwald closed the Public Hearing.

CITY OF PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT DATE: July 15, 1987 MEETING DATE: July 22, 1987 FILE NO.: 87030 PETITIONER: Kenneth Ester, Wagner Spray Tech REQUEST: Rezoning and Preliminary Plat for Wagner Addition LOCATION: Northwest of County Road 6 and I-494 (1770 Fernbrook Lane) GUIDE PLAN CLASS: IP (planned industrial) ZONING: FRD (future restricted development and I-1 (planned industrial) BACKGROUND: The petitioner requests approval of a Rezoning and Preliminary Plat application to plat approximately 24.09 acres into three industrial parcels, and rezone approximately 2.5 acres of the property from FRD (future restricted development) District to I-1 (planned industrial) District. In February 1984, the City Council approved Resolution No. 84-88 for a Lot Division and Variance for Robert Sevey for two parcels located at 14100 County Road 6. Mr. Sevey then transferred ownership of one of these parcels, one acre in size, to Wagner Spray Tech. This is parcel No. 11 as shown on the property ownership map. In July 1984, the City Council authorized the purchase of the Sevey property located at the northwest corner of I-494 and County Road 6. In October 1984, the City Council approved Resolution No. 84-718 for a Lot Division and Variance for the City of Plymouth for two parcels located at 14100 County Road 6. These are referenced as parcels No. 13 and No. 14 on the property ownership map. A public hearing notice has been published in the legal newspaper, and property owners within 500 ft. have been notified. A Development Sign was placed on the property. ANALYSIS: 1. The property is guided IP on the Land Use Guide Plan which contemplates the devel- opment of the office/warehouse land uses indicated on the proposal. Utilities are available for extension for the development of this property. 2. The Preliminary Plat consists of three lots which meet and/or exceed the lot size and dimension requirements for the I-1 District. Street access would be provided via a shared drive which will intersect with Fernbrook Lane. Lots 2 and 3 will share a drive access. Staff Report for Wagner Spray Tech Ouly 22, 1987 Planning Commission Meeting Page two 3. The proposed type of land uses for the three lots is consistent with the I-1 Zoning District. 4.

Ownership of Parcel No. 13 (including the existing building) and Parcel No. 14 (see property ownership map) will be transferred from the City to Wagner Spray Tech prior to filing of the final plat. Wagner Spray Tech will in turn then dedicate all of Parcel 14 and a portion of Parcel 8 to the City for the proposed right-of-way at the intersection of County Road 6 and I-494. 7. Development of the new parcels, upon a final plat being recorded with Hennepin County, is contingent upon ordinance required plan reviews. 8. The undeveloped lots are subject to cash fees in -lieu -of park dedication. The park dedication fees are payable subsequent to City Council approval of a site plan, arid prior to issuance of a building permit. PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: 1. Staff finds the proposal consistent with IP guiding of the property, and with the I-1 zoning. 2.

Page 161 Planning Commission Minutes July 22, 1987 Chairman Steigerwald introduced the request by AmeriData Systems, Inc. and requested an overview of the July 15, 1987 staff report by Coordinator Anderson. Commissioner Marofsky inquired if the City would recommend a limitation to the amount of square footage within the building to be used for this service? Coordinator Anderson stated the petitioner has stated that 1,800 sq. ft. will be used, however, the City has not placed a limitation on the space to be used for this purpose. Chairman Steigerwald introduced John Strittmatter, Ryan Construction Company, representing the petitioner. Mr. Strittmatter introduced Sherry Anderson; and, Linda Stuart, who will be operating the daycare service. Mr. Strittmatter explained that the State License requires the square footage proposed, and the building will meet all codes required for licensing the daycare. Commissioners Wire and Plufka inquired about the number of children. Ms. Stuart stated the license will be for 34 children. Commissioner Zylla inquired about the requirements for the Permit overlapping the State requirements; and was concerned that the City not be considered a licensor. Coordinator Anderson explained that daycare is a conditional use in a building which is operating as the permitted use in this Zoning District. The Conditional Use Permit is granted only upon notification that the daycare operation is properly licensed by Hennepin County and the State of Minnesota. Director Tremere further explained that the State of Minnesota calls upon Plymouth's Fire Marshal and Building Division to inspect the premises and confirm that the building meets applicable Fire Code and Building Code requirements; the City is not otherwise involved with the licensing requirements of the County. Commissioner Plufka inquired if the license would be taken in the name of AmeriData? Ms. Stuart stated the day care license would be for "Plymouth Learning Center" who is contracting with AmeriData to operate the service. Commissioner Plufka commended AmeriData for providing child care in the workplace. Chairman Steigerwald confirmed that the Conditional Use Permit would be issued to AmeriData Systems, Inc. Chairman Steigerwald opened the Public Hearing, as there was no one present to speak on this item, the Public Hearing was closed. AhERIDATA SYSTEMS, INC.

MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO AMEND Wire to Amend the Main Motion, adding Condition No. 9 that the daycare service will occupy no more than 2,000 sq. ft. of the principal building. .r Director Tremere explained that any increase in the number of children would necessitate increasing the amount of square footage used and, would require review of the license by the County; and, an Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit by the City. Commissioner Marofsky stated that the application shows that approximately 1,800 sq. ft." would be used for the daycare; and, believes the condition of approval should be specific to limit the floor space to be used for this purpose. He stated the Commission should review the Permit again if there would be any future expansion. Further discussion ensued regarding the parameters for the Permit. Director Tremere explained that if the Commission sets a limit, it should be referred to generically, not as hard numbers. Ms. Stuart explained that the 1,800 sq. ft. is appropriate for the number of children approved for this license, and even adding one child would require review of her license and approval for any expansion. Commissioner Marofsky believes that giving leeway of 2,000 sq. ft. would be appropriate. Roll Call Vote on the Motion as Amended.

REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit LOCATION: 10200 51st Avenue North GUIDE PLAN CLASS: IP (planned industrial) BACKGROUND: MEETING DATE: duly 22, 1987 ZONING: I-1 (planned industrial) The petitioner requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a daycare service for the AmeriData employees as well as other employees of this indus- trial park. This industrial park is bound by County Road 18 on the east, the Soo Line Railroad on the north, Schmidt Lake Road on the south and the western edge of Ryan Business Center on the west. The site plan for the building was approved by the City Council on March 2, 1987 under Resolution No. 87-144. A public hearing notice has been published in the legal newspaper, and property owners within 500 ft. have been notified. ANALYSIS: 1. The Zoning Ordinance states that service/business uses are allowed as a conditional use in the Industrial District provided that they are primarily for the use of persons employed in the district. The daycare is a service business which is provided for employees who work at this facility and in this industrial park. 2. The Conditional Use Permit is being requested so that approximately 1,800 sq. ft. of the 48,420 sq. ft. office/warehouse building could be used. 3. There would be no signage or advertising of the daycare facility. 4. The daycare facility is required to be licensed by the State of Minnesota. PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: 1. The Conditional Use Permit request responds to the ordinance provisions. 2. Restriction as to the customer base is important. The facility should not be open to the general public. 3. This is a good example of a private company providing daycare services for its own exployees without interfering with private daycare centers. Staff Report for AmeriData Systems, Inc.

The proposal involves a rezoning from FRD (future restricted development) District to R -1A (low density single family residential) District. A Conditional Use Permit is required for a church in the R -1A District; and, the Site Plan Amendment proposes an expansion to the existing facility. A Variance is requested from the fire lane requirements. On July 10, 1978 the City Council under Resolution No. 78-405 approved the Conditional Use Permit for Peace Lutheran Church at this location within the former R-0 Zoning District (now FRD). On October 1, 1979 the City Council under Resolution No. 79-635 approved the Site Plan for Peace Lutheran Church at this location. On June 1, 1981 the City Council under Resolution No. 81-350 approved the Conditional Use Permit for a detached accessory building on this property. A public hearing notice has been published in the legal newspaper and property owners within 500 ft. have been notified. A Development Sign was placed on the property. ANALYSIS: 1. The property is guided LA -1 on the Land Use Guide Plan which contemplates the development of churches, consistent with this proposal. Utilities are available for extension for the development of this property. Sanitary sewer has been extended to serve this site. Water service will be extend- ed to the site in the year 1990 according to the Capital Improvements Program. R -1A zoning is appropriate now that the site is served with sanitary sewer. 2. Reference is made to the standards for granting Conditional Use Permits in Section 9 of the ordinance (attached). Staff Report for Peace Lutheran Church July 22, 1987 Planning Commission Meeting Page two 3. The proposed site plan complies with the parking, setbacks, and trash facilities. A minimum of five additional overstory trees must be shown on the landscape plan to comply with the minimum requirements of the Landscape Policy. 4. The proposal calls for a variance from the fire lane requirements. No fire lane will be installed on the east and south sides of the building. The Fire Marshall has determined the proposal provides adequate protection. 5. No additional signage is proposed. PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: 1. The proposal is consistent with the LA -1 guiding of the property, and with the R -IA zoning. 2. The proposed site plan and Conditional Use Permit comply with the Zoning Ordinance provisions with the exception of fire lanes for which a variance has been granted. 3. The landscape plan should be revised to include five additional overstory plantings. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Site Plan Amendment, Rezoning, Conditional Use Permit and Variance applications subject to those conditions as reflected in the draft recommendation.

The foregoing is in response to our review with you and your letter of May 4, 1987. We are request a variance to the fire lane requirement based on the close proximity of existing roads and driveways on all four sides of the property. We have discussed this with the fire chief. Please contact me with any questions. The church would appreciate expediting the process, plans are being prepared for construction beginning this summer if possible. very truly yours, DELANO ERICKSON ARCHITECTS Del Erickson AIA DDE/se enclosures cc: Bill Rova City of Plymouth E N G I N E E R' S M E M 0 to Planning Commission & City Council DATE: JuZy Z6, Z987 FILE NO.: 8706Z PETITIONER: SheryZ Jacobsen - Congregation President - Peace Lutheran Church, 3695 Highway 101, PZymouth, Mn. 55446 SITE PLAN: Addition to Peace Lutheran Church LOCATION: South of Medina Road, West of Highway 101 in the Southeast Z/4 of Section Z8.

VOTE - MOTION CARRIED REPORT DATE: FILE NO.: PETITIONER: CITY OF PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION July 15, 1987 87064 Midwest Brick MEETING DATE: July 22, 1987 REQUEST: Preliminary Plat, Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit LOCATION: 5205 County Road 18 North (north of 51st Ave. No. and west of Hwy 18) GUIDE PLAN CLASS: IP (planned industrial) ZONING: I-1 (planned industrial) BACKGROUND: The petitioner requests approval of a Preliminary Plat, Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit for the use and new occupancy of an existing 97,000 sq. ft. office/ warehouse building. The reuse of the building will be as a multi -tenant office/warehouse space with Midwest Brick occupying approximately 40% of the building and a maximum of 4 tenants in the remainder of the building. Approximately 23% of the building is to be devoted to office functions with the remaining 77% to be devoted to warehousing func- tions. The Conditional Use Permit is required for the outdoor storage of pallets of brick. The initial building, Kulberg-White, was built in a series of phases starting in the 1950s. In December, 1977, a site plan was approved for a 22,151 sq. ft. addition. A public hearing notice has been published in the legal newspaper and property owners within 500 ft. have been notified. A Development Sign was placed on the property. ANALYSIS: 1. The Preliminary Plat calls for two parcels which comply with the ordinance provi- sions and requirements relating to minimum lot size and dimensions. The petitioner has submitted conceptual drawings for future development of Lot 2, Block 1. This meets ordinance standards. They have shown that a building and parking can be placed on the site within required setbacks. 2. The site plan for Lot 1, Block 1 complies with the ordinance provisions and requirements relating to building setbacks; number of parking spaces and design of parking lot; proof -of -parking requirements; lot coverage by structure (29 percent vs. a maximum of 35 percent) as allowed by ordinance. Two additional fire hydrants are required by the Fire Marshall on the west side of the building. All parking will be constructed per ordinance requirments. No parking will be deferred. 3. The proposed outdoor storage includes pallets of brick which are typically 4 ft. wide, 4 ft. long, and 3 and 1/2 ft. tall. They would be stored to a maximum height of 4 pallets with an overall height in any given section of 14 ft. The bricks Staff Report for Midwest Brick July 22, 1987 Planning Commission Meeting Page two would be stored on a dust -free, Class V gravel surface with paved driving aisles in between the pallets and bricks for use by forklifts. The outside storage area will be secured by an 8 ft. high chain link fence with gates near the front and rear of the building. A berm which varies in height from 9 - 16 ft., and landscaping will be added along 51st Avenue North to serve as screening for the outdoor storage of bricks. The Landscape Policy allows a maximum grade of 3:1. The grade proposed meets this requirement. Existing vegetation in place along County Road 18 will serve as screening for the storage of bricks as viewed from County Road 18. The berm will effectively screen the outside storage with the landscaping proposed. The transition provided between 51st Avenue North and County Road 18 meets the required 90% opacity requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. 4. The Physical Constraints Analysis identifies that this property is located in the New Hope Drainage District. It does not contain any wetlands and has no major woodlands or severe slopes. The soils appear suitable for urban compatibility with public sewers. 5. There are no park dedication requirements for the existing site, but dedication requirements will apply to the new site at the time of development. 6. Two additional fire hydrants must be installed on the west side of the building on the outside of the fire lane, to comply with Fire Code requirements. 7. Presently, there are two freestanding signs on the site. One of these will be removed to meet the ordinance requirement of one freestanding sign allowed per lot. Wall signage would comply with City ordinance standards for a multi -tenant building. PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: The proposed Preliminary Plat, Site Plan Amendment and Conditional Use Permit respond to the ordinance provisions and comply with the minimum development standards, except as noted. RECON ENDATION: Staff recommends approval subject to those conditions as reflected in the draft recommendation. Attachments: 1. Draft recommendation 2. Location map 3. Petitioner's correspondence 4.

Procedure. Before any Conditional Use Permit may be granted, the application therefore, shall be referred to the Planning Commission for purposes of evalua- tion against the standards of this Section, Public Hearing, and development of a recommendation to the City Council, which shall make the final determination as to approval or denial. a. The Planning Commission shall review the application and consider its con- formance with the following standards: 1) Compliance with and effect upon the Comprehensive Plan. 2) The establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use will promote and enhance the general public welfare and will not be detrimen- tal to or endanger the public health, safety, morals or comfort. 3) The conditional use will not be injurious to the use and and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. 4) The establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the District. 5) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress, egress, and parking so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. 6) The conditional use shall, in all other respects, conform to the appli- cable regulations of the district in which it is located. vby June 5, 1987 Members of the City Council Planning Commission and Staff City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Blvd. Plymouth, MN 55441 Ladies and Gentlemen: CMOs OBrien Strother IDCHITECT(S On behalf of Greenland Investments and Midwest Brick & Supply, we would like to express our appreciation for your consideration of the following land development application. Our client has purchased an existing one story building formally owned by Kulberg-White at 5205 County Road 18 Nor" -h. W:e are seeking 3 things: I. A conditional use permit for outdoor storage II. Preliminary platting of the existing parcel into 2 lots III. Site plan approval for the adaptive reuse of the building We look forward to your comments and to working with you toward the completion of a successful project. Best Regards, CLUrS, O' BRIEN, SPRXHER ARCII=S Daniel S. O'Brien, A.I.A. moi.• --.: JUIN e 1991 7520 Market Place Drive • Eden Prairie • Minnesota 55344 • Phone: 612/941-4822 I. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR OUTDOOR STORAGE A. Storage Requirements Midwest Brick requires outdoor storage for pallets of brick. These pallets are typically 4 feet wide, 4 feet long, and 3-1/2 feet tall. They are stored to a maximum height of 4 pallets with an overall height in any given section of 14 feet. Because of the modular nature of the material being stored, the yard is generally very orderly. It is necessary that the bricks not be stacked on asphalt since the asphalt can discolor the bricks. We are therefore proposing a dust -free, class 5 surface with paved driving aisles for forklifts. B. Location We are proposing to locate the outdoor storage on the east side of the existing building between the frontage road of county road 18 and the existing building. Minimum setback from the frontage road of county road 18 is 50 feet. Minimum set back from 51st Street North is also 50 feet. An 8 foot high chain link fence will be installed for security and to assure the limits of the storage area. C. Screening We will achieve 90% opacity in the screening of our outdoor storage by the use of a combination of the following: 1. Existing vegetation in place along county road 18. 2. Supplemental vegetation per landscape plan. 3. Berming along 51st :Street North. D. Grading and Drainage The outdoor storage will slope toward the east. Storm water will be gathered in an existing ditch along the frontage road for county road 18 and will flow into the existing storm drainage system. II. PRELIMINARY PLAT A. Description The present property is unplatted. We will divide the existing parcel into 2 lots. One lot containing the existing building will be approximately 7.6 net acres. A second lot, the westerly portion of the site bordered.by 51st Street North and. Nathan Lane, will be approximately 3 acres. III. Site Plan Approval for the Adaptive Reuse of the Building A. Existing Use The Kulberg-White building was built in a series of phases starting in the 1950's and is approximately 97,000 s.f. of mixed construction types: concrete pan & joist with concrete beams and columns in the older areas, steel joist with metal deck in the far east and far west wings. The previous use of the building was a millwork and woodworking shop. The existing parking lot is on the south side of the building between the building and 51st Street North. Loading docks flank the main entrance. The parking lot edge has no curb. The setbacks are unclear and less than current City standards. B. Proposed Use The reuse of the building will be as a multi tenant office warehouse space. Midwest Brick and their subsidiary companies will occupy the eastern portion of the building (approximately 40%) with 8,000 s.f. of office and the balance as warehouse. We propose to add a corridor with a skylit atrium to provide an access to a maximum of 4 tenants in the remainder of the building. The offices for these tenants will be located adjacent to the atrium and . corridor. We will be creating new loading areas on the west side of the building for both dock high doors and drive in -doors. Four loading docks west of the main entrance, on the south face of the building, will be eliminated and -replaced with windows. C.' Site Improvements 1. Parking and Vehicular Traffic We will be re -defining the existing parking -lot and providing additional parking to the west of the building bringing the total count to 1 3 cars. This exceeds the City zoning requirement for the building with 22,000 s.f. of office and 75,000 s.f. of warehouse. A* As requested by Planning Staff, we have eliminated 2 curb cuts at 51st Street North. The Fire Marshall requested that we maintain one curb cut that is adjacent to an existing fire hydrant. For the new parking on the west side of the building we have added an additional curb onto 51st Street North. We feel the 3 curb cuts are necessary for adequate traffic flow onto the site. We have spread them out along 51st Street North with a minimum distance center -to -center between curb cuts of 180 feet. 2. Landscape We propose to soften the impact of the building and the parking by expanding the present boulevard along 51st Street to approximate current zoning requirements and to reduce the amount of existing paving by the insertion of landscape areas within that existing parking lot. These landscape areas have been placed to enhance the feeling of arrival as you drive into the project and to screen the 3 existing loading docks that will remain on the southeast corner of the building. 3. Utilities We will be bringing sanitary sewer from Nathan Lane to the building along the north property line. This will be a public sewer so it can serve the proposed second lot. As requested by the Fire Marshall, we are providing fire lanes on both the east and west side of the building.

GIVE THE BASIS OR METHODOLOGY OF ESTIMATES. a. Air Pollution: The area served by Schmidt Lake Road is a rapidly developing area with steadily increasing traffic volumes. These volumes are expected to grow regardless of improvements to Schmidt Lake Road. As such, the project itself will not cause any increase in trips but will prevent diversion of trips to parallel routes, such as C.S.A.H. 9 and C.S.A.H. 10. Therefore, the project will create no net increase in air pollution. b. Dust: Dust from construction will be temporary and will be controlled by watering. C. Noise: See Noise Study in addendum.

FOR SCOPING EAWS, LIST KNOWN ISSUES, ALTERNATIVES, AND MITIGATIVE MEASURES TO BE ADDRESSED IN EIS. lb. The alternative to complete removal of peat soils is a combination of surcharging techniques to minimize future settlement and place- ment of geotextile fabrics. Since the proposed project includes underground utilities which will not tolerate settlements (i.e., sanitary sewer) such techniques are not appropriate in this case. 19. The roadway construction will encroach on DNR protected wetlands; no alternative alignment exists which meets geometric requirements without wetland encroachment. Construction in wetlands will be minimized by choice of alignment. The DNR, Corps of Engineers and the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission will be reviewing the project and providing input on design modifications, mitigation measures and any permit requirements. 22. Storm water runoff will be accommodated in accordance with the City's storm drainage plan. 23. b. Dust: Impacts from dust during construction will be minimized by watering when necessary. C. Noise: The Noise Study completed for the proposed project is included in the addendum to the EAW. 25. Roadway embankment construction will displace 2-3 acres of wetland wildlife habitat. No alternative alignment for the roadway exists which meets geometric standards without such habitat displacement. Mitigative measures to offset this habitat displacement will be taken by the City as directed by the DNR.

DATE: July 9, 1987 SUBJECT: NOISE ANALYSIS SCHMIDT LAKE ROAD CITY PROJECT NO. 904 INTRODUCTION A detailed analysis of traffic -generated noise levels was performed for receptor sites in the Schmidt Lake Road project area (see Figure 1). This report summarizes the results of this analysis. METHODOLOGY Two receptor sites adjacent to the south right of way of the proposed Schmidt Lake Road were selected (see Figure 2). Receptor Site 1 is located at an existing residence in the southwest corner of the intersection of Nathan Lane and SchmidtLakeRoad. Receptor Site 2 is located further west on SchmidtLakeRoadadjacenttothealternativealignment1todetermine the impact of the three potential alignments. Existing noise levels were monitored for both peak day and nighttime hours at Receptor Site 1. Noise levels were modeled at both sites for three alternative alignments during peak hours for1990 (one year after completion) and 1990 (ten years after completion). 1 GOR.R. 191 1 i C i 6Orn J dLNa Al • 4:1 AV . _ i 60m z 10 AVE.

The resultant traffic volumes are summarized in Table 1. Traffic noise was estimated using the Federal Highway Noise Prediction Model, STAMINA 2.0. The estimated noise levels are summarized in Table 2. NOISE IMPACTS The existing 'noise levels at Receptor Site 1 are within state standards for daytime noise. However, the existing nighttime noise levels exceed the state standards by up to 4.7 decibels. This is due to the relatively high traffic volumes on Schmidt Dake Road which turn onto Nathan Lane. The 1990 noise levels at Receptor Site 1 will increase due tot he growth in traffic volumes due to continued development as well as due to the diversion of traffic to Schmidt Lake Road from C.S.A.H. 9 and C.S.A.H. 10. The 1990 daytime noise levels will be within the state standards. The 1990 nighttime noise levels will increase by up to 4.1 decibels and will continue to be above the standards. The 1999 daytime noise levels will increase up to 1.4 decibels and will be up to 1.3 decibels over state standards. The 19999 nighttime noise levels will increase by up to 1.5 decibels and will be up to 7.0 decibels over state standards. In each case the alignment alternatives will have no discernible noise impact on Receptor Site 1. The 1990 and 1999 noise levels at Receptor Site 2 will be within state standards for daytime and nighttime conditions. The alternative alignments do have a localized impact based on how close Schmidt Lake Road is to each receptor. However, the general impact is negligible and in each case is within state standards. NOISE ABATEMENT The exceedance of state noise standards currently exists at Receptor Site 1 due to the proximity to both Nathan Lane and Schmidt Lake Road. The completion of Schmidt Lake Road to the west and future traffic growth due to development will increase these noise levels. Any noise abatement measures considered could be confined to the residential areas in the immediate vicinity of the Nathan Lane and Schmidt Lake Road intersection. 3 TABLE 1 SUMMARY OF TRAFFIC VOLUMES EXISTING HOURLY ROADWAY VOLUMES SCHMIDT LK.

Moore, P.E. - 2 - June 15, 1987 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY The basic analysis methodology was to look at historical corridorgrowthratesandthegrowthindevelopmentinthestudyarea. Aregressionanalysisofhistorictrafficcountsinthestudyareafrom1977to1986) indicates that traffic has grown at a rate ofbetween2.4% and 7.8% depending on the facility. Overall, theeast -west corridor has been growing at a rate of 3.5% per year. This rate is typical of areas which are experiencing moderate tohighlevelsofdevelopment. The entire metropolitan area has hada2.9% annual growth rate during the period 1971-1986. The main east -west routes in the study area are C.S.A.H. 9, C.S.A.H. 10, C.S.A.H. 47, and the proposed Schmidt Lake Road. Four screenlines (shown on Figure 2), which are lines drawn foranalysispurposesacrossseveralroadwaysthatformacorridor, were identified west of C.S.A.H. 18, midway between C.S.A.H. 18andI-494, east of I-494, and west of I-494. A screenline midway between C.S.A.H. 18 and I-494 was used forbaselineforecastpurposes. The current volume at thisscreenlineis29,600 vehicle trips per day (see Figure 2). ThelevelofcurrenttraveldesireacrossthisscreenlineisconstrainedbecausebothC.S.A.H. 9 and C.S.A.H. 10 are two-laneroadwaysoflimitedcapacity. Both routes are scheduled to:,beupgradedtofour -lane roadways in the near future. Assuming a3.5% annual growth rate, the future (year 2010) daily corridorvolumeisprojectedtobe67,600. In addition, Highway 55 isexpectedtoreachcapacityduringthisforecastperiod. 3,000tripsareforecasttodivertto<_C.S.A.H. 9 as Highway 55reaches. mcapacity.

The daily capacity of a four lane roadway is 25,000 to 30,000vehiclesperday. Thus, the combined capacity of C.S.A.H. 9 andC.S.A.H. 10 (when improved to four lanes each) will be 50,000 to60,000 vehicles per day. Given -the anticipated demand of 70,000tripsperday, both of these roadways would be over capacity bytheyear2010 (see Figure 3).

Moore, P.E. - 3 _ June 15, 2987 CONCLUSIONS In order for the corridor to have an adequate level of service, additional capacity must be added. To the north, I-694 alreadyhascapacityproblemswhichlimitsdiversionoftraffictothisarea. As previously mentioned, Highway 55 is expected to reachcapacityduringtheforecastperiodandthereforeisnotavailablefortrafficdiversion. Medicine Lake prevents theadditionofthroughroadwaysintheareabetweenHighway55andC.S.A.H. 9. The addition of the proposed Schmidt Lake Road would meet theexpectedincreaseincorridortrafficbecauseofitswellspacedlocationbetweenC.S.A.H. 9 and C.S.A.H. 10. In addition, thegradeseparationat49thAvenueNorthandC.S.A.H. 18 provides anappropriateinterchangepointfortheeastendofthecorridor. Based on this analysis, a four lane roadway is justified in theSchmidtLakeRoadcorridortomeetthedemandofapproximately20,000 vehicles per day and maintain an adequate level of serviceonthestudyarearoadsystem. (Total demand is 70,000 vehiclesperdayandcapacityonC.S.A.H. 9 and C.S.A.H. 10 for planningPurposesis50,000 vehicles per day.) According to current traffic counts, approximately 50$ of thetrafficinthecorridorleavesC.S.A.H. 9 and C.S.A.H. 10 atI-494. Currently, this high level of turning volumes is beinghandledbythediamondinterchangesatC.S.A.H. 9 andC.S.A.H. 10. These I-494 intersections are some of the mostcongestedinthecorridorand, therefore, critical to I-494operation. Other signalized intersections in the corridoroperateata. higher level of service because they have lowercrossstreettraffic. If Schmidt Lake Road were constructed with only a gradeseparationatI-494, Schmidt Lake Road would only carry an ADT of10,000 vehicles (a 50% reduction with respect to the amount oftrafficdesiringtouseit) while the traffic on both C.S.A.H. 9andC.S.A.H. 10 would increase to 30,000 vehicles per day (seeFigure4). These traffic levels would cause the intersections attheI-494 interchanges of C.S.A.H. 9 and C.S.A.H. 10 to be overcapacityduringpeakhours. 24,000 r.APLC GROVE o_ 24500 la j38,00030,000 - _ 000 a— aw u I • • s.» ml m r Wo 10,00 .11,000 PROPOSED SCHMI LA E OA •- - 41,000 •; 30,000 24,500 259000PLYMOUTHcl i,, - • . tet. wocfK Lax( 5 Irll Y = RiCWMaI PaAa i a STA I O WDIC*k LAKE tti D STRCAR-ROSCOE-FAUSCH• INC.

Moore, P.E. - 4 - June 15, 1987 With the addition of Schmidt Lake Road from C.S.A.H. 18 to Vicksburg Lane, including ramps at I-494, C.S.A.H. 9 and C.S.A.H. 10 would each have an ADT of 25,000 vehicles per day and SchmidtLakeRoadwouldhaveanADTof20,000 vehicles per day (see Figure 5). Under these conditions, all intersections at the I- 494 interchanges would operate at adequate level of service (C orbetter) during the peak hours of traffic. The results of this analysis clearly indicate Schmidt Lake Road will be needed by year 2010 to provide an appropriate facility tcmaintainanacceptablelevelofserviceonC.S.A.H. 9 andC.S.A.H. 10. Without Schmidt Lake Road, C.S.A.H. 9 and C.S.A.H. 10 will be overloaded based on the assumptions in this traffic analysis. If development occurs at a more rapid rate, or ifindividualintersectionsonC.S.A.H. 9 and C.S.A.H. 10 grow more rapidly in terms of their travel demand, the volumes on SchmidtLakeRoadcouldincrease. It is clear from this analysis that without Schmidt Lake Road the travel time delays and level of services at major intersections on C.S.A.H. 9 and C.S.A.H. 10 will be unacceptable from a transportation planning perspective. Without the construction of this road there are significant user costs in terms of circuity of travel, travel time, air qualityimpactsandadditionalgasolineconsumption. Detailed estimates of user cost/benefits created by circuity oftravelonC.S.A.H. 9 and C.S.A.H. 10 can be provided ifdesirable.

As the consulting engineers for the project, we are preparing anEnvironmentalAssessmentWorksheet (EAW). We would like torequestaStateHistoricPreservationOfficer (SHPO) determination as to the existence of historic or archaeologic sites within the roadway corridor. The attached maps show the location of three alternative alignments being considered for theproposedproject, which includes construction of a 4 -lane, urbansectionroadwaywithcurbandgutterandstormsewer. The approximate width of the right-of-way would be 80 feet. We anticipate completion of the EAW in July, 1987 with publication in the EQB Monitor shortly thereafter.

The City's attention was drawn to these four properties by the attorney for an individual who then was contest- ing through litigation the City's refusal to grant a variance for a fence that exceeded the Ordinance location and height requirements. That attorney cited the four proper- ties as instances where "comparable" fences had been built, with or without variance action. The litigation was subsequently settled between the plaintiff and the City, out of court. We sent the attached letter to the four property owners upon our findings that none had received variances for the fences and that the fences were in violation of the Ordin- ance height and location requirements. We are providing you with copies of the responses we solicited and we recommend direc- tion from the Council as to disposition of the cases. The matter at hand was held aside while the Planning Commission and City Council considered whether the City's fence regulations should be amended with respect to corner lots. At the meeting on duly 27, 1987, the City Council determined that the fence regulation should remain as is and not treat corner lots any differently than current regulations. The four instances contained in the information are not unique and there are probably others throughout the City. The City does not require permits for fences and, conse- quently, fences have been erected without the benefit of any scrutiny by the City be- fore the construction. We often do not have an awareness of illegal fences until they are brought to our fences by neighbors or others who are concerned, including attorneys for persons who have been contacted by the City upon discovery by the City that the particular fence is in violation. Y 1 Page two Memorandum to City Manager City Council Meeting August 3, 1987 July 30, 1987 That is what happened in this case. The next normal step for staff would be to advise all four owners that their fences must be brought into conformance with City fence regulations which were in effect when the fences were built. A possible alternative action is that the property owners could seek a post facto vari- ance. I do not know what legitimate grounds for such a variance would be other than the information presented by the four owners. The party that was initiating litigation contended that the information he received from the City receptionists was less than complete and thus the City was partially responsible for the erection of the fence in violation of the Ordinance standards. The City Council did approve language that clarified the Ordinance standards and the settlement of the litigation effectively found that in that case, the information pro- vided by the City had not been complete (the information given was accurate, it was not the total information). Whether that contention would apply in any of these four cases remains to be seen. It is staff's intent to continue a diligent program of notifying owners of properties where fences have been erected in violation of the standards and, where necessary, to initiate appropriate legal action to gain conformance. We have implemented a variety of steps to provide property owners with information about fence regulations; the ultimate responsibility however rests with the property owner who cannot be required to submit plans for proposed fences in advance of construction. I present this to the Council for further discussion since, as of last spring, the Council seemed to be concerned that the Ordinance standards for corner lots might need revision. That issue has now been addressed and, subject to the comments I offer below, will proceed to enforce the Ordinance. I have deleted the names and addresses of the four property owners since at this time each is a pending case based upon a complaint and discovery that there is a violation. Information is available but is protected by State law until the cases are resolved or unless they are litigated. For clarity, I will refer to the cases as one, two, three, and four. Case No. 1 Contrary to the owner's observations, we have verified that the 6 ft. fence is closer to the front property line than 35 ft. The edge of street is not the property line. The owner has been informed of this but does not agree with the intent of the Ordin- ance. This owner feels that corner lots should have a provision for a privacy fence. This property also had a rail fence in the public right-of-way on the corner, though it was not that fence that was referred to in the complaint. I brought that situation to this owner's attention also. Page three Memorandum to City Manager City Council Meeting August 3, 1987 July 30, 1987 Case No. 2 This property owner contends that verbal information was provided over the telephone about fence standards prior to the erection of the fence. It appears that there was a clear understanding about the Ordinance classification of yards that abut streets. All such yards are considered front yards unless the City has prohibited access to one of the streets. Ths particular lot does not have such a restriction and thus, both yards abutting the street are front yards and thus, the fence should have been 35 ft. minimum from the property line. The fence that was constructed is in violation of the Ordinance and a variance was not granted. The information conveyed was not documented (since last spring, however, any telephone inquiry about fence standards is handled in such a way that the Community Development Department personnel will send the caller a copy of the written Ordinance standards that have been available at the Public Service Counter for some time). This owner did not have the benefit of written information, but operated instead on the basis of the telephone conversation. rasp Nn_ 3 The fence on this property is in violation of the Ordinance standards including those standards which were in effect when the fence was constructed some time ago. This is a case where the owner, last spring, did not construct the fence and where, subsequent to last spring, that owner sold it to a new owner. The new owner apparently would like to retain the fence. The fence nevertheless, is in violation of the Ordinance standards and has not been addressed as a variance item. The previous owner indicates that there would be possible reasons to consider a variance. Case No. 4 This property owner recalled when the fence was built and indicates that it was built after a Public Works Project in the neighborhood which involved water and street improvements. The owner indicates that at a neighborhood meeting involving the then City Engineer and City Councilmembers, his fence was discussed because of concerns in that area about the elevation of certain properties and the need for a retaining wall. He states that he agreed to move his fence and place it at a lower area in -lieu of a retaining wall. He indicates that there is no recollection of a discussion about fence height regulations. There was not a variance granted for the fence. The owner has submitted photographic data that would suggest that the fence is not creating a problem. I recommend that the Council discuss these four cases but caution that they are not, collectively, a special class. They happen to be four cases which were brought to our attention at the same time by the same individual who had a vested interest in the issue. Individually, these cases would normally be handled by a requirement that the fences be brought into compliance. The next legal step would be to file a legal action through the City Attorney seeking compliance and/or penalty as provided for by the Zoning Ordinance. Caution is also in order as to the local or political treatment of these since, as indicated above, they are not unique. The City does not require permits for fences and Page four Memorandum to City Manager City Council Meeting August 3, 1987 July 30, 1987 I am not in a position at this time to recommend that that be adopted to limitations of staff resources. The advantage of requiring permits, of course, would be that the violation at hand would be erection of a fence without a permit. Permits would only be granted for those fences that met Ordinance standards. The City Public Safety Department and Inspection Division over the years have not had a high priority of covering the entire City looking for fence violations. They do come to our attention on a regular basis from neighbors and other sources who file complaints. Many citizens do in fact contact us before they construct a fence and we have taken steps to improve the communications with those persons. Also, I am not suggesting that the City has an undue amount of cases where fences are in violation of the Ordinance; it is difficult some times, incidentally, to determine when the fences were built, although that does not necessarily render the fence any more legal unless it can be clearly shown that the construction occurred before any fence regulations existed. Plymouth has had fence regulations for many years. SUMMARY It seems to me that there are the following options available to the Council at this time: 1. Do nothing. The Ordinance provisions will be enforce following normal established legal procedures. Residents will be given a reasonable time to bring the fences into conformance with the standards. If conformance is not obtained, legal action will initiated, and that may or may not result in action favorable to the City. 2. Reconsider Ordinance language that would allow 6 -ft. fence in a front yard of a corner lot even if that front yard was not classified as an equivalent yard because of restrictions on access. If such language were adopted, provision could be amde to include previously constructed fences. The City Council did discuss this matter on duly 6, 1987, and unanimously determined that such language would not be appropriate. 3. Direct that, in lieu of the legal action cited in No. 1, applications for post facto variances be accepted to determine whether variances might be in order. The trouble with this approach is that first of all, it does not change the fact that an Ordinance violation exists; also, if variances were not granted then nothing has been achieved except more time has passed before normal compliance action was Initiated. AttanhmPnts April 7, 1987 Plymouth, MN 55442 L CITY OF PLYMOUTFt RE Violation of City Ordinance Fence Regulations at Lane North Dear Mr. Sandberg: There is a fence located on the above property which is not in conformance with Citystandardswithrespecttoheightandlocation. The City Zoning Ordinance contains standards which, among other things, specify the maximum height of fences on residen- tial lots, and particularly on corner residential lots. The maximum height of a fence in a yard defined by the Ordinance as a "front yard", is 3 ft. if it is within the minimum setback area which normally is 35 ft. from the property line. All yards which abut a street are defined as "front yards"; thus, corner lots typically have two front yards. The fence on your property is higher than the Ordinance standard. City records do not indicate that a variance was granted to permit this fence. The fence is in violation of the City ordinances and we would appreciate your efforts in correcting this problem. Enclosed for your information is a pamphlet we distribute regarding fences and fencelocations. Many residents use this form to assure that their fences are properlylocatedandareoftheappropriateheight. Questions regarding this may be directed to me at 559-2800. Thank you for your cooperation.

We purchased the home almost six years ago from the original owners and have sold the home as of March 26, 1987, prior to your letter. The new owner would of course desire to retain the fence as is. May I call to your attention the fact that the fence is placed on the top of a bank that is already some five feet above street level. It therefore offers no visual barriers of any sort. It is also located appropriately to provide some privacy and to discourage undue foot traffic on the grass bank which is already abused by automobiles that are driven off the street and onto the bank. We would sincerely request of you that the fence be allowed to remain as it has through these years. It would create a very awkward situation for us to have to make changes inasmuch as it was sold as it is without any knowledge on anyone's part of noncompliance or even question as to propriety. Thank you from you. my office for your consideration. I will look forward to hearing Should you desire to talk personally, I may be reached at or at home @p0holoo.

JUN City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Blvd. Plymouth, MN 55447 Attn: Blair Tremere RE: Dear Mr. Tremere, June 1, 1987 Fencing Ordinance In response to your letter dated April 7, 1987, on the issue of a fence located on the property at not being within the guide lines of the present ordinance regulations deal- ing with corner lots. The fence in mentioned here runs in a East/West direction along410ftStreetNorth. It is set back approximately 35 feet from the edge of the street and is over 70 feet from the corner edge of the lot. It provides privacy to my backyard and affords security for the swimming pool, which is also located in the backyard. The presence of this fence in no way offers interference with the sight -triangle" picture for traffic on the corner intersection of thus not causing a safety problem with its presence. I believe that I should be given an equal opportunity in provid- ing privacy to my backyard as is the property owner in the middle of a block or other culdesac area lots. I do feel that this ordinance is very prejusidary to corner lot property owners, does not address the issue of sight -triangle for safety, and should be amended to consider the individual circum- stances and neighborhoods to which it applies. I appreciate your time in this matter and look forward to hearingfromyou.

In 1978 the water and street improvement project for our neighbor- hood was proposed and started. In this proposal was the widening of the street and whenever the street was raised or property was cut at a higher elevation, retaining walls were to be constructed. It was almost unanimous by the citizens that no retaining walls be constructed in our area. At neighborhood "coffee clutches" with the Engineer and Council Members my fence was discussed. I agreed to move the fence and place it in the lower sloped area (in lieu of a retaining wall) on the IWM Avenue side of my property. At that time no mention was made as to the height of the fence. It has been ten years since the fence was erected/moved and I feel it does not impede safety by obstructing vision of the traffic. I am enclosing pictures of the fence taken at various angles. S*ncerely, 4. i Enclosures C -;T GASE4 B CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 MEMO DATE: July 30, 1987 TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: James G. Willis, City Manager SUBJECT 1988 BUDGET - LEVY LIMIT CALC ATIONS Dale Hahn and I have been working to determine the impact to the Cityasaresultofthelegislature's tampering with levy limitations. Based upon our understanding of the law, and relying upon data supplied to us by the Commissioner of Revenue, I believe that the following table accurately represents the City's capacity to generate property tax dollars in 1988. It is too soon to know for certain the assessed value of property, however, Scott Hovet and Dale believe that it will be around $475,500,000. This represents an increase of nearly47millioninJustoneyear. The legislature established a 3% increase in levy limits. They did, however, take two other actions with respect to levy limits which do impact the City. The first of these is that they reduced for 1988 only, the City's levy limit base to the amount levied in 1986 for taxes payable in 1987. Second, they have severely limited those items which were considered "special levies"and therefore outside of levylimits. The law now requires that we include the infrastructure reserve, our tort liability, and our forestry levies within the levysubjecttolevylimitations. In 1986, the Council levied $646,000 for these three items. In 1987, I am projecting that these same three items will total approximately $678,461. Because of the City's continued growth both in population and house- holds, our growth will provide us a good deal of additional funding capacity. The Metropolitan Council indicated that our population grew by 2,627 to 43,834 as of April 1. This represents an increase of 6.4 percent. Our households, however, increased by even an greater rate, from 14,895 to 16,275 for an increase of 9.4 percent. Under the law, the levy limit of a municipality is calculated on the higher of those two pieces of data, therefore, our levy limit capacity will be increased by 9.4 percent, plus the three percent inflation factor. Based upon our calculations, the total amount which could be levied in 1987 for taxes payable in 1988 will be $7,914,509 as compared to 6,903,556 for taxes payable in 1987. One new item in 1987 is, of course, the Fire Station 3 bond. Debt service for these bonds will be approximately $108,000. 1988 BUDGET - LEVY LIMIT CALCULATIONS July 30, 1987 Page two For taxes payable in 1988, for General Fund purposes, we must first back out all authorized special levies. Based upon our current projections, these special levies will amount to $1,158,113. When this sum is sub- tracted from the total levy limit, we have a balance available for the General Fund of $6,756,396. BUT... we must now include the levies for infrastructure, tort liability, and forestry in the General Fund levy. In 1987 these three items amounted to $646,000. 1988 PROJECTED GENERAL FUND LEVY LIMITATION $ 6,756,396 ADD SPECIAL LEVIES: 1967 Park Bonds $ 5,420 1980 Park Bonds 339,475 1980 Storm Sewer Bonds 44,628 1987 Fire Station Bonds 107,833 Storm Sewer Tax Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 475,500 City Special Assessments 156,234 HRA 29,023 TOTAL SPECIAL LEVIES: $ 1,158,113 TOTAL OF ALL PROJECTED 1988 LEVIES: $ 7,914,509 MAXIMUM PROJECTED MILLAGE: 16.645 Mills 1987 1988 ACTUAL PROJECTED GENERAL FUND 5,309,200 6;,756,396 SPECIAL LEVIES: 1967 Park Bonds 5,640 5,420 1980 Park Bonds 325,613 339,475 1980 Storm Sewer Bonds 46,343 44,628 1987 Fire Station Bonds 0- 107,833 Storm Sewer Tax Districts 440,140 475,500 City Special Assessments 103,177 156,234 H.R.A. 27,443 29,023 Infrastructure 220,000 0- 1 Tort Liability 200,000 0- 1 Forestry 226,000 0- 1 1,594,356 1,158,113 TOTAL ALL LEVIES: 6,903,556 7,914,509 1 These three levies must be included within the General Fund levy - subject to levy limits.
