A, CITY OF PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PLANNING AND ZONING APPLICATION STAFF REPORT REPORT DATE: June 19, 1990 COMMISSION MEETING DATE: June 26, 1990 FILE NO.: 90047 PETITIONER: Geoffrey Gage REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit Amendment to the Residential Planned Unit Development,for Kingsview Heights 2nd Addition LOCATION: Southeast Quadrant of 44th Avenue North and Ithaca Lane West of 14515 44th Avenue North) GUIDE PLAN CLASS: LA -1 (Low Density Single Family Residential) ZONING: RPUD 85 -1 BACKGROUND: The RPUD Preliminary Plant /Plan /Conditional Use Permit was approved for the Kingsview Heights Development by Resolution 85 -155 in March 1985. In July 1985, the resolutions adopting the Final Plat (85 -478) and setting conditions prior to recording (85 -479) were approved. Proposed is an amendment to the RPUD Conditional Use Permit to permit the construction of an accessory use (a fence) on one of the lots of the RPUD without the construction of a principal structure on that lot. Notice of this Public Hearing has been published in the official City newspaper, and all property owners within 500 feet have been notified. PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: 1. The proposal is to extend a fence from the petitioner's home at 14515 -44th Avenue North easterly approximately midway on the north -south dimension of the vacant lot owned by the petitioner's father immediately to the east, to the east line of the vacant lot, and then southerly to the south line of the vacant lot, and then westerly to the common property line, and beyond, into the lot at 14515. The resulting fenced area would include approximately half of the vacant lot. 2. Section 7(c), Item 39 specifies fences to be accessory uses in the R -1A Zoning District, the underlying zoning for this development. Section 4 of the Zoning Ordinance defines "accessory use" to be a use subordinate to the main use on a lot, and used for purposes customary incidental to those of the main use. see next page) File 90047 Page Two 3. No "principal use" exists on the vacant lot east of 14515 44th Avenue North though one could be developed there. The petitioner does not want to consolidate the lots. 4. Review of the amendment to the RPUD Conditional Use Permit /Plan as governed by the provisions of Section 9(b), paragraph 5(j) of the Zoning Ordinance where the Planning Commission must make its recommendation based on compatibility with the Planned Unit Development; relationship of the plan to the neighborhood in which it is located and the Comprehensive Plan; and the internal organization adequacy of the PUD Plan. In addition, the Conditional Use Permit standards of Section 9(a), paragraph 2 to be applied in the review of all PUD Plan amendments as well. A copy of those standards are attached. The petitioner has addressed these standards in an attached narrative. 5. This action is necessary because the City Code requires permits for fences no fee). The permit represents a finding that the fence meets Ordinance standards or has been specifically sanctioned by the City Council. It is also important to have this action on record so it is clear in the future that the owners sought this and that one owner has not encroached onto a separate property possibly creating an adverse possession situation. PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: 1. We find the proposed amendment to the Conditional Use Permit for the Kingsview Heights RPUD is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance requirements with respect to compatibility with the intent of the Planned Unit Development; relation of the proposed plan amendment to the neighborhood which it is located, the Comprehensive Plan, and other provisions of the Zoning Ordinance; and internal organization adequacy of the uses and related design features of the Planned Unit Development. 2. We find the proposed PUD Plan amendment to meet the standards of the Zoning Ordinance for Conditional Use Permits. 3. The parcels could be consolidated thus eliminating the need for this action. see next page) File 90047 Page Three RECOMMENDATION: I hereby recommend adoption of the attached resolution providing for an amendment to the RPUD Conditional Use Permit and Plan for the Kingsview Heights RPUD to permit a fence as an accessory use on a lot within the PUD without a principal/nse on that same ot.

Before any Conditional Use Permit may be granted, the application therefore, shall be referred to the Planning Commission for purposes of evaluation 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 Cammission shall review the application and consider its conformance 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 detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals or comfort. 3) The conditional use will not be injurious to the use 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 applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. forms:o >pl /cup.stnd /s) 10/89 The following narative is submitted to further substantiate conformance standards required for fence application. The attached site plan indicates location of proposed fence. We believe the requested use complies with the present comprehensive plan. The purpose of the fence is to tie Lot 5 and Lot 6 together, enhancing the two properties. Lot 5 is vacant and has been used for dumping trash and neighborhood children have used it as a playground, building forts, etc. It is felt this request will not impede normal and orderly development of surrounding property and will not affect transportation in this area. Further it will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity. We respectfully request the application be approved. Thank you.

CITY OF PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT REPORT DATE: FILE NO.: PETITIONER: REQUEST: LOCATION: GUIDE PLAN CLASS: ZONING: BACKGROUND: PLANNING AND ZONING APPLICATION STAFF REPORT June 21, 1990 COMMISSION MEETING DATE: June 26, 1990 90049 St. Mary's of the Lake Church Conditional Use Permit Amendment to Change the Operator of the Existing Day, Care Center at St. Mary's of the Lake Church 105 Forestview Lane LA -1 (Low Density Single Family Residential) R -1A (Single Family Residents District) In 1973 a Conditional Use Permit was issued at this location for a group home for up to 12 children. In 1977 a Conditional Use Permit was issued for a day care facility for 34 children. The number of children permitted was expanded in 1978 to 54 and in 1986 to 75. The last previous action by the City Council was by Resolution 87 -527, which approved a renewal of the Conditional Use Permit for "Children's Learning Center" at this location for 75 children in August 1987. Proposed by this application is an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit changing the operator from the "Children's Learning Center" to "St. Mary's of the Lake Church." No other changes are proposed in the operating specifications of the day care center. Notice of this Public Hearing has been published in the official City newspaper, and all property owners within 500 feet have been notified. A development sign has been placed on the property. PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: I. The applicant has submitted a brief outline of its proposal dated May 1990. A copy of this narrative is attached. 2. In the narrative provided, the applicant states that no changes are proposed for the use, and that no impact is anticipated with respect to the Conditional Use Permit criteria of the Zoning Ordinance. see next page) F File 90049 Page Two PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: 1. We find the proposed amendment to the Conditional Use Permit to change the name of the operator is consistent with the Conditional Use Permit standards of the Zoning Ordinance, and that no change is proposed. 2. No complaints have been received by the Community Development Department regarding the operation of the facility, and therefore we find issuance of an amended Conditional Use Permit to be in order.

The permit is subject to all applicable codes, regulations and Ordinances, and violation thereof shall be grounds for revocation. 2. The permit is issued to St. Mary's of the Lake Church as operator of the facility and shall not be transferable. 3. The site shall be maintained in a sanitary manner. 4. Any signage shall conform with the City Ordinance standards. 5. A copy of the current State license shall be provided prior to issuance of the permit and shall be kept on file with the City. 6. Compliance with applicable Building and Fire Code requirements shall be verified by the City prior to permit issuance. 7. All parking shall be off - street in designated areas which comply with the Zoning Ordinance. 8. The maximum number of children shall be 75. 9. Resolution 87 -527 is rescinded. St. Mary of the Lake Church has provided full time (6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) child care on its premises since 1977 through a tenant, the Children's Learning Center. The Children's Learning Center currently has a Conditional Use Permit with the City of Plymouth. The Children's Learning Center wishes to sell its business to St. Mary's, and St. Mary's wishes to purchase the business and con- tinue offering full time child care as a parish program. Realizing the continuing need for quality child care and as a means of carrying out its outreach mission, St. Mary's wishes to offer this service to the community. St. Mary's does not anticipate any changes which would impact items 3, 4 and 5 of Section 9 of the Plymouth Zoning Ordnance. St. Mary's is requesting a Conditional Use Permit by June 30, 1990 for 75 children, identical to that currently issued to the Children's Learning Center. 5/90 s Elm= SUNSE' ELEM SCMa N 07 I, 1 1 I C ii1 MIU_ \ 1 1 li- i is 0 W.3 1 tPrL kvi YA it qd Mk qai- anrr7,i 0 ----- 39 .65 I N86.52'20-W 652.88 I 66 1 N o D r N1 I I f " C) w E30 M I(A c i Lb i c r- n I 66 / cn o I I ' I w om I I o nj I (> he S o v 74h /ii) e. of W'/Z I N I o SE %4- oc Sec, 35, t l /8, e. 22 1 I 1398.20 A WRIDGEMOUNT AVE.

Fifty- USE PERMIT AMENDMENT four children presently attend the day care facility in St. (86067) Mary of the Lake, Church. Chairman Steigerwald requested an overview of the dune 24, 1986 Planning Staff Report by Co- ordinator McConn. Chairman Steigerwald introduced Kathleen Dayton. represent - iny the Children's Learning Center. She stated she had no questions or comments and would answer any questions from the Commission. Chairman Steigerwald opened the Public Hearing. Jo Bigot, 220 Forestview Lane, stated her concerns are with the increased traffic on Forestview Lane; it is especially hazardous in the winter months as the roadway has curves and hills. They have had to help many motorists who have spun out and gotten stuck, or who couldn't negotiate the hill. She commented on problems for school buses picking up children along this roadway. Sne inquired if a traffic study could be conducted, or if a stop sign could be instal- led. Chairman Steigerwald stated that a traffic study would need to be ordered through the City Council. 131- 4 w • Page 132 Planning Commission Minutes Duly 1, 1986 Commissioner Mellen and Ms. Bigot discussed the morning and evening traffic generated by the church activities and the Wayzata East Jr. High School. Ms. Bigot stated she would like to see something done about this roadway before more traffic is generated in the area, she suggested perhaps a different route to the church would be appropriate. Chairman Steigerwald asked Ms. Dayton about the traffic com- ing and going from the church. Ms. Dayton stated most vehicles arrive before 8:00 A.H. in the morning bringing the children to the school; and, from 4:30 to 6:00 P.M. when they pick up their children. During the day there is little traffic generated by the Learning Center. Theodore Ahbay, 114 Forestview Lane, stated the church drive is across from his driveway. There is a sign designating one -way traffic brit people ignore the sign and use the drive for two -way traffic. Drivers exceed the speed limit here, driving 35 to 45 mph In a 25 mph zone,. He is concerned about the safety of the children who ride their bikes and cross the strut: In the neighborhood. He is not against. daycare centers, but believes Plymouth has too many. He noted there are three daycares in very close proximity. It Is difficult for him to get out of his driveway and tie Inquired if closing off the lower level road would help the situation. He reiterated the problems with winter driving and stated the City should make an effort to see that drivers obey the 25 mph zone. Art Cannon, 216 Forestview Lane, stated he is concerned that the daycare seems to Increase the number of children year after year and there should be a limit. If this application Is approved, there should be a maximum in the number of children for the daycare facility and the school a cap. Chairman Steigerwald inquired what basis would be used. Mr. Cannon stated that the traffic problems are a determin- ing factor. The number of vehicles, traffic circulation, and the impact on the residential neighborhood. He reiter- ated the dangerous winter driving conditions on Forestview Lane. He also noted the maintenance problems; the street was resurfaced two years in a row (this year and last). There is a definite correlation in the rapid wearing of the roadway and Increased traffic. He concurred with Mr. Ahbay that part of the solution could be to close off the lower access, which would cut down on the traffic and maintenance costs. He also agreed that the local police should patrol this road as often as possible. r Page 133 Planning Commission Minutes July 1, 1986 40 Chairman Steigerwald stated he lives in this area and agrees that the City needs to look at this whole area as the temporary streets which were originally installed need continued maintenance. Commissioner Magnus inquired if Mr. Cannon has other con- cerns besides the traffic problems. Mr. Cannon stated he is also concerned about expanding a commercial use in a resi- dential area. He understands that a daycare has special requirements, but there needs to be greater restrictions on commercial operations In residential neighborhoods. Kathleen Dayton stated the looped road was required by the Fire Marshal for emergency vehicle access. She stated the parents use the drive in the morning and evening but during the day it is chained off when the children are out play- ing. In terms of setting a "cap" on the number of children, they have four rooms available for their program and will not expand beyond what is requested with this application. Any further expansion would be for the church programs. Chairman Steigerwald Inquired about the drive around the buildinq. Ms. Dayton stated it is a one -way drive on the west side of the building and leads down to the lower park- ing lot. Jo Bigot stated the drive exits out onto the curve which is very dangerous. Mr. Cannon stated he agrees the fire lane Is necessary, but the access should be to Ridgemount Avenue, eliminating the traffic onto Forestivew Lane. Commissioner Mellen inquired if the loop drive could be chained -off permanently. Ms. Dayton stated this was pos- sible, but it is used by school buses, delivery and garbage trucks. Chairman Steigerwald recalled that the old access to Ridge - mount Avenue was never intended to be permanent. Assistant Engineer Sweeney stated the road is very narrow and intended to be one -way. Chairman Steigerwald stated the Learning Center is a tenant of the church and in searching for a solution to traffic problems by changing roadways and traffic circulation would bring the church itself into play. Kathleen Dayton stated the Learning Center is not the cause for the bulk of the traffic. The church conducts two classes in the morning and afternoon that include 60 children in each class. Chairman Steigerwald stated they are part of the problem because they are adding to the number of children attending the Learning Center. Page 134 Planning Commission Minutes 31,ly 1, 1986 Mr. Cannon stated it may have been appropriate for a representative from the church to be present. Chairman Steigerwald stated that technically the application was not made by the church, but their tenant. Mr. Cannon stated it seems all church activities and those trod the daycare in the church are impacting the neighborhood. Commissioner Plufka stated the paroblem is larger than what the Commission is reviewing tonight, and the Commission's task is to look at this application on its own merits. He concurs that perhaps all are impacted by the traffic prob- lems and that a meeting with the City Council, staff, church, tenants, and neighbors may be appropriate. Chairman Steigerwald stated there are three residents present for this hearing; he inquired how many residents were notified of the meeting. Coordinator McConn responded that 36 property owners were notified. Ms. Bigot stated that perhaps those others were not touched by the problem on Forestview Lane. Chairman Steigerwald closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Mellen Inquired If there were sufficient sani- tary facilities in the church for the number of children. Ms. Dayton stated the State of Minnesota inspects the premises when they license a daycare, and that sanitary facilities are more than adequate for the number of people In the church and daycare. Commissioner Pauba noted it is not unusual for a church to have a daycare, but inquired about the combination of the commercial daycare and private church school. Coordinator McConn noted that there are a number of licensed daycare facilities in churches in Plymouth; the churches also have Sunday school classes and other instructional activities for their congregation. Commissioner Wire stated that adding to the number of chil- dren is not the problem, but the traffic problems have been building for some time. It should be decided whether these problems are sufficient to warrant a traffic study for this area. Commissioner Plufka stated it is a City concern and Inquired it it is appropriate to ask for a traffic study for this area. Coordinator McConn stated that a request could be made to the Chief of Police for surveillance of the traf- fic in regard to speed and volume] and# Public Works should be contacted regarding installation of any signs. She noted that the Church is a conditional use in the ,residential zone and the problems brought forth for the church and the day- care could be reviewed overall. T! w Page 135 Planning Commission Minutes Duly 1, 1986 MOTION by Commissioner Plufkap seconded by Commissioner MOTION Mellen to direct staff to study the traffic problems for the area; the circulation, exits and entrances to the church property; speed limits; one -way roadways; and, work with other agencies such as the Fire Department and Public Safety. Coordinator McConn stated the staff report does not address the traffic problems as discussed since no concerns or complaints have been submitted to the City during the life of the school. Chairman Steigerwald stated these problems have grown gradually over the years. Coordinator McConn stated this is a good opportunity to bring these matters forward to study and resolve. VOTE. 6 Ayes.

MOTION to AMEND by Commissioner Wire, seconded by Commis- sioner Magnus to add Condition No. 9 that the traffic Information be completed and reviewed before the application is forwarded to the City Council. Commissioner Plufka stated he has some concern when a pro- posal is conditioned on something over which they have no control; and, when other parties such as the church are to have a say in the matter. Chairman Steigerwald stated he disagrees in that this petitioner is part of the total problem and the condition provides a good start in clearing up the problems. Coordinator McConn stated that It must be understood that even after review of the information, the Council may defer the application back to the Commission. Chairman Steigerwald inquired if Ms. Dayton understood this, and that It is important for the neighborhood and the City to have this chance to look for and find a May to alleviate these problems before City Council takes action on the applica- tion. She answered affirmatively. MOTION TO AMEND Page 136 Planning Commission Minutes Ouly 19 1986 Roll Call Vote on Amendment. 4 Ayes. Commissioners Mellen and Plufka, Nay. MOTION carried.

At that same time, the City Council acted to authorize establishment of a study to review area road alignment issues of Medina Road /County Road 24 intersection. Mr. Hagen subsequently withdrew that application. On April 17, 1989, the City Council, by Resolution 89 -195, approved the Final Plat and Development Contract for the "Plymouth Meadows" plat, a portion of which is included in the south center of this PUD Plan. The rezoning of the Plymouth Meadows area from FRD to R -1A was published February 1, 1990. Proposed is an MPUD Concept and Preliminary Plan and Rezoning for the Development of a 66 -acre site into 76 single family building lots; 2 freestanding commercial sites; and one freestanding industrial site. Notice of this MPUD Concept Plan Public Informational Meeting and MPUD Preliminary Plan Public Hearing have been published in the official City newspaper, and all property owners within 500 feet have been notified. A development sign has been placed on the property. see next page) File 90029 Page Two PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: A I. The Physical Constraints Analysis shows this site to be located within both the Gleason Lake and the Bassetts Creek Drainage Districts; to contain storm water holding areas required by the City of Plymouth (Pond BC -P2); not to be a part of a Shoreland or Flood Plain Overlay District; to contain wetlands subject to both state and federal regulations in the western portion of the site; not to contain woodlands of significant stature as defined by the analysis; does not contain slopes of greater than 12 percent; and to contain some soils unsuitable for urban development -- generally related to the wetland areas noted previously. This site is suitable for urban,development with municipal utilities, and the site design generally relates well to the constraints noted, and preserves the natural site features -- particularly the wetland areas. 2. From the total site are of 65.8 acres, the applicant proposes 7.7 acres to be used for either commercial or industrial purposes consistent with the guiding of those portions of the site, and we find 14.33 acres to be below the ordinary high water level of Plymouth Storm Water Pond BC -P2. A .86- acre portion of the "high ground" located in the extreme west center of the site is that part of the required City public park proposed for dedication that lies above the ordinary high water mark of Pond BC -P2. The net site available for calculation of residential density is 43.37 acres. The 76 units of single family housing proposed results in a proposed density per net acre of 1.775 units. The applicant proposes the use of no bonus points for design feature of the PUD. The PUD would be eligible for 2 bonus points and a resulting density of 2.2 units per net acre based on project scale of over 40 acres. 3. The PUD Plan proposes a landscape buffer outlot as private open space, totalling 2.1 acres paralleling proposed Medina Road and County Road 24 roadway corridors. This is the only open space area of the plat proposed that is not a part of a required public park or a City storm water drainage area. Qualifying open space, therefore, is proposed at approximately 5 percent of the overall net site area devoted to residential uses. 4. All residential development is proposed to be single family detached. Lot sizes are proposed to be a minimum of 11,650 square feet, but will average 20,506 square feet. Lot sizes east of proposed County Road 24, and particularly east of proposed Garland Lane, average less than for the area of the plat west of proposed County Road 24. Proposed lot width at the setback line is a minimum of 75 feet with the exception of a single anhandle" lot proposed to front 32nd Avenue North (proposed Lot 7, Block 2 with a width at the front setback line of 55 feet. see next page) File 90029 Page Three 5. The applicant, in a narrative dated April 27, 1990, discusses the responsiveness to the proposed MPUD Plan to both the PUD attributes and the Conditional Use Permit standards found in the Zoning Ordinance. 6. The Preliminary Plan proposes street setbacks of 25 feet for all lots west of County Road 24; 35 feet for all lots east of County Road 24; 50 feet to Medina Road and County Road 24, west of County Road 24; and 20 feet to Medina Road for lots located east of County Road 24. The applicant states that the 25 -foot street setback for interior lots west of County Road 24 is required to minimize intrusion on state and federal wetlands in that area of the PUD. The applicant proposes to substitute berming and landscaping for the otherwise - required 50 -foot setback to Medina Road for the lots east of County Road 24. The applicant states that the proposed reduction in setback to Medina Road for these lots is the result of the unusual shape of the parcel that results after the Medina Road right -of -way is accommodated on the site. The applicant proposes 10 -foot interior side yards for all lots proposed. A 10 -foot interior side yard has been the minimum approved with recent PUD Plans. The Ordinance standard side yard in the R -1A District is 15 feet. The applicant makes no proposal with respect to rear yard setback, and it is therefore assumed that the 25 -foot standard of the R -1A District except abutting arterial streets) is the standard proposed. 7. The applicant has presented a PUD Concept and Preliminary Plan for the development of the Commercial Service guided sites east of proposed County Road 24 and north of proposed Medina Road consisting of three freestanding food facilities; and a freestanding convenience store with gas dispensing on two outlots of 2.5 acres and 3.8 acres. Minimum lot area in the B -3 Zoning District is /are Further division of proposed Outlot A" will be required to create a site of at least 1 acre for each food" facility. The food facilities are arranged with access off a public semicircular road (Garland Lane /Dunkirk Lane). Additional access is proposed on a "right -in /right -out" basis, from the convenience store to County Road 24. 8. The PUD Plan proposes a "warehouse" structure located on the 1.8 -acre remnant parcel designated as " Outlot C" of the Preliminary Plat, and located at the northwest corner of proposed County Road 24 and proposed Medina Road. It should be noted that, at 1.8 acres, the industrial site proposed is below the minimum of 2 acres required in the Zoning Ordinance for industrial lots. No specific use or disposition of Outlot E (.2 acres) is stated by the applicant. The triangle is guided LA -1. see next page) File 90029 Page Four 9. No specific review has been undertaken with respect to site features such as setbacks, parking, landscaping, or other dimensional aspects of the Zoning Ordinance or City Code with respect to the commercial or industrial sites. Specific MPUD Final Site Plans are required for these sites, and review comments with respect to site design details are not possible until those Site Plans have been presented. We do note, however, that the proposed convenience store depicts a freestanding gas pump canopy, inconsistent with the Zoning Ordinance requirement that such facilities be attached to the principal structure. 10. A significant issue impacting the design of this PUD Plan is the relationship of the Plan to the thoroughfare street system crossing this area of the City. At its meeting June 19, 1990, the Planning Commission adopted two recommendations to the City Council with respect to thoroughfare streets proposed by the Thoroughfare Guide Plan portion of the Transportation Plan for this immediate area. The initial recommendation was for the location of County Road 24 and Medina Road for this area of the City to be consistent with the Preliminary Plan proposal of this application. At the Public Meeting concerning County Road 24 /County Road 9, the roadway alignment recommended was referred to as the McCombs, Frank, Roos West Alignment ", and it is consistent with the roadway alignment proposed by this PUD Concept and Preliminary Plan. The City Council will be reviewing the recommendations of the City traffic consultant and the Planning Commission during July. Any recommendation concerning this PUD should be subject to a final decision by the City Council with respect to the alignments of County Road 24 and Medina Road. A second recommendation of the Planning Commission at the meeting of June 19, 1990, was that the City Council consider amending the Thoroughfare Guide Plan to delete a direct linkage between Medina Road and Vicksburg Lane as now proposed by the Thoroughfare Guide Plan. We do not, at this time, know what will transpire with respect to this recommendation, but we do not believe that, even if the recommendation were to be adopted, the roadway alignments for Medina Road and County Road 24 would be significantly altered in this particular location. 11. The applicant proposes to combine consideration of the MPUD Concept Plan and the MPUD Preliminary Plat /Plan /Conditional Use Permit as a single application. The Zoning Ordinance requires findings by the Planning Commission with respect to the Concept Plan to include the following: a. Relationship with a proposal to the surrounding neighborhood. The PUD Plan proposes uses that are consistent with surrounding land uses and /or land use guiding along the entire periphery of the project. Specifically, guiding is Planned Industrial west and north of Medina Road; Low Density Residential west, south, and east of the project site; and Service Commercial north of the project site, east of Medina Road. see next page) File 90029 Page Five b. Compliance with City proposed PUD Concept with respect to land Also as noted above, those City ordinances as items of PUD fle 1.775 dwelling units without bonus points. Ordinances and the Comprehensive Plan. The Plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan use guiding and thoroughfares, as noted above. the proposed Concept Plan is consistent with and policies that the applicant does not propose xibility. Proposed net residential density in per acre - -well within the LA -1 density range 12. The Zoning Ordinance requires the Planning Commission to report to the City Council and base its recommendations regarding a PUD Preliminary Plan/Plat/Conditional Use Permit on at least the following factors: a. Compatibility with stated purposes and intent of the Planned Unit Development. The primary issue to be considered is whether the PUD Plan in its Preliminary Plan level of detail is responsive to the stated purposes of the Planned Unit Development Ordinance sufficiently to qualify as a Planned Unit Development. b. Relationship of the proposed plan to the neighborhood in which it is to be located, the City's Comprehensive Plan, and to other provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Review of the plan in the concept stage has referenced the general compatibility of the proposed plan to the uses or planned uses surrounding the site; the Comprehensive Plan; and the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Those same relationships exist, as noted with the Concept Plan in the proposed Preliminary Plan. c. Internal organization and adequacy of various uses or density; circulation of parking facilities; recreation areas; and open spaces. PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: A. Concept Plan 1. We find the proposed Concept Plan to relate well to the surrounding existing land uses, and the land use guiding of surrounding land that is not as yet developed. The plan proposes single family detached housing in areas of the site that adjoin existing or planned single family detached housing, and commercial /industrial use in areas of the site that are guided for such use and adjoin other areas that are guided for that use. The "spot densities" of the single family lots that are proposed east of County Road 24 is somewhat higher than the existing development to the south, but the impact on those existing homes to the south would not change appreciably with a reduction in the number of lots proposed due to the 90 degree orientation of the proposed lots to the existing lots. We doubt whether there would be any perceived difference from a redesign to reduce the density of the proposed lots. see next page) File 90029 Page Six 2. We find the proposed Concept Plan to be consistent with the applicable elements of the Comprehensive Plan, specifically the Thoroughfare Guide Plan portion of the Transportation Plan; the Storm Water Drainage Plan; and the Parks and Trail Plan. Compatibility with the Sanitary Sewer and Water Distribution Plans is dependent upon the completion of trunk service extensions that are authorized in the 1990 Capital Improvements Program for which contracts are not now scheduled for award until late 1990, with service not to be available to these areas until at least 1991. B. PUD Preliminary Plan /Plat /Conditional Use Permit 1. We find the commitment of complex site of over 65 acres involving multiple land use types and key Thoroughfare Guide Plan street corridors to be a prevailing attribute that qualifies this plan for PUD status. The fact that multiple ownerships are involved further adds to the complexity, and therefore the benefits to the City of Plymouth of a PUD Plan. The overall project density proposed and the degree of Zoning Ordinance dimensional flexibility requested appears to be "in balance" with the PUD attributes offered, particularly the attribute of project scale. 2. We find the PUD Preliminary Plan /Plat /Conditional Use Permit to present a positive relationship to the neighborhood in which it is proposed to be located, to the City's Comprehensive Plan, and to other provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, except as noted with respect to the elements of flexibility and dimensional standards proposed. 3. We find the internal organization and adequacy of various uses or densities to be appropriate. 4. We find the proposed circulation and parking facilities, to the degree such items are reviewed at the Preliminary Plan stage, to be reasonable except with respect to the proposed direct access from the convenience center" to County Road 24. We recommend that that access be deleted from the Preliminary Plan and that all access to the convenience center be from Garland Lane only. 5. We find that no active private open space is proposed other than the trail corridor off the end of 34th Avenue North. We find, however, that extensive passive open space will be in the ownership of a homeowner's association as a function of design, and the overall density of the project is such that substantial private open space remains with each of the 76 lots proposed. 6. No use is specified for proposed Outlot E. This parcel must be specifically encumbered as to ownership and maintenance. see next page) File 90029 Page Seven 7. We find the proposed Preliminary Plan to be responsive to the related City Ordinances and Policies except with respect to setback proposals proposed as elements of flexibility. We are not supportive of a "blanket" street setback of 25 feet for all lots west of County Road 24. Recent Planned Unit Developments elsewhere in the community have been approved with the provision that the street setback may be modified from the 35 -foot R -1A standard to 25 feet on a case -by -case basis where it is demonstrated by the developer that such a modification will specifically save natural resources, including wetlands. 8. We find the proposed Landscape /Berming Plan parallel to Medina Road between Garland Lane and Dunkirk Lane to be insufficient to provide the substitute transition from the thoroughfare street that is required when reducing the setback from the required 50 feet to a proposed 20 feet, as the applicant proposes. The berm height is little more than 4 feet from the first floor elevations of the proposed homes, and the proposed landscape materials are of less size than our Landscape Code would specify. The transitional benefit will be minimal until many years into the future when the landscape materials would mature. We recommend that the Landscape Plan for transition in this area be amended to increase berm height to 8 feet and landscape material sizing to be consistent with the minimums contained in the Landscape Policy. Otherwise, the full ordinance minimum building setback should apply. Our concern is with the future residents, not the developer's design preferences. The design of lots and building footprints should respect road alignments and natural features. Our concern directly relates to the future high speed, high volume plan for Medina Road. Protection of future homeowners from traffic impacts of Medina Road is of primary importance. 9. The size deficiency of the I -P parcel ( Outlot C) is related to the petitioner's selection of road alignments. The potential deficiency is compounded by the inclusion of half of the current Medina Road right -of -way in the 1.8 acre total. We recommend no variances for parcel size or other dimensional standards of the Zoning Ordinance be approved or implied by approval of this Preliminary Plan /Plat. Outlot C should remain an outlot until sufficient land can be added (perhaps the other half of the Medina Road right -of -way after vacation ?) to create a parcel of standard size. see next page) File 90029 Page Eight RECOMMENDATION: I hereby recommend approval of the Concept Plan for the "Seven Ponds Second Addition" I also recommend approval of the MPUD Preliminary Plan /Plat /Conditional Use Permit for the "Seven Ponds Second Addition" subject to several standard conditions of such approval and additional conditions related to the staff comments noted above.

The following is a general overview explaining the development request: REZONING REQUESTED We are requesting rezoning from FRD to MPUD for approximately 60 acres of land. The area south of re- aligned Medina Road is guided for low density residential (LA -1) and is designed in accordance with R1A zoning The two lots in Plymouth Meadow are currently zoned R1A). The area north of re- aligned Medina Road and east of re- aligned County Road 24 is guided Service Business and is designed in accordance with the B -3 standards. The area north of re- aligned Medina Road and west of re- aligned County Road 24 is guided Planned Industrial and is designed in accordance with I -1 zoning. LOCATION The Seven Ponds Second Addition Planned Unit Development encompasses approximately 60 acres located west of existing Dunkirk Road, south of existing MedineRoad, and north of the existing Seven Ponds plat. Mr. Chuck Dillerud Page 3 PROPOSED LAND USES The applicant is proposing the following land use: Use Acres Units County Rd 24 3.1 5.3 Medina Road 2.2 3.7 Total Major Roadway 5.3 9.0 Residential: Seven Ponds W 40.0 67.6 62 Seven Ponds E 6.2 10.5 15 Total Residential 46.2 78.1 77 Commercial: Outlot A, B 6.1 10.3 Industrial: Outlot C 1.6 2.7 UTILITIES Twelve acres of the property are presently served by sanitary sewer and water. The balance of the property will be served by sanitary sewer and water from an extension of the trunk line along Medina Road and sanitary sewer by the extension of trunk sewer from the north side of Highway 55. The entire site is presently served by telephone and natural gas. PLYMOUTH TRANSPORTATION PLAN The published transportation plan by the City of Plymouth calls for the realignment of County Road 24 and County Road 9 so the roadways intersect at Highway 55 and Dunkirk Lane. The transportation plan designates public and semi - public area for an interchange at the existing Dunkirk /Highway 55 intersection. Probably the most important aspect of the Seven Ponds planned unit development is its design around the Highway 55 and County Road 24 /County Road 9 interchange and the intersection of Medina Road with Mr. Chuck Dillerud Page 4 County Road 24. After meeting with the City staff, engineers, surveyors and planners, we established specific requirements for the Seven Ponds design: 1. A 90 degree intersection at Medina Road and County Road 24. 2. The alignment of Medina Road as it crosses Dunkirk Lane in accordance with a plat recommended by the City staff and approved by the Planning commission. 3. A sufficient distance between the county Road 24 ramps south of Highway 55 and the intersection of Medina Road and county Road 24. 4. Right -in and right -out access to property on the northeast corner of Medina Road and County Road 24 so that a minimum of congestion would occur at the intersection of Medina Road and County Road 24. 5. Move the Garland Lane access from County Road 24 to Medina Road. 6. Eliminate all driveway access on Medina Road. 7. Access to the industrial parcel off Medina Road only at a safe distance from the intersection. MPUD DESIGN GUIDELINES The Planning Commission and City Council have determined that the highest and best land use for the property in the northeast quadrant of County Road 24 and Medina Road is service business and the property in the northwest quadrant of County Road 24 and Medina Road is industrial. All property south of Medina Road is residential. The planned unit development contemplates substantial berms and landscaping on the douth side of Medina Road as a signigicant buffer between the residential property and the commercial or industrial property to the north. The PUD also contemplates significant landscape forms to further define the residential versus the coin mercial/industrial use. This will give the residents a sense of entering a residential area as they travel southwest on County Road 24. The proposed commercial buildings will be scaled smaller and include such architectural features as hip and gable roofs and brick exterior with coined corners in order that the buildings fit in with the residential neighborhoods. Lighting will be controlled so it does not spill into the residential neighborhood and a single pylon sign will be used to identify the services. Mr. Chuck Dillerud MPUD PROPOSED SETBACKS Page 5 The industrial component of Seven Ponds has been designed in accordance with the I -1 zoning standards. The commercial component of Seven Ponds has been designed in according with the B -3 standards. The following setbacks are requested for the residential component: 1. A twenty five foot (25) front yard setback is requested for all 62 lots located West of County Road 24 (Lots 1 -38 Block 1 and Lots 1 -24 Block 2). This variance is requested in order to minimize intrusion into the wetland areas and provide a "buffer" from the backs of the housing pads to the Army Corps of Engineers designated wetlands 993 elevation). Fifty foot side yards will be maintained from Medina Road (Lot 24, Block 2, Lots 15 and 16, Block 1) and proposed realigned county Road 24 (Lot 1, Block 1). Ten foot interior side yards will be maintained for all other lots. 2. A twenty foot (20) corner lot sideyard setback is requested for Lot 1, Block 3 and Lots 1,3,7 and 8, Block 4. This setback is required in order to eliminate all driveway access onto Medina Road and is also attributed to the peculiar shape of the resulting land parcel after Medina Road is realigned through this portion of Seven Ponds. Berming and extensive landscaping is proposed to minimize the impact. Thirty five foot front yard and ten foot interior side yard setbacks will be maintained for all other lots in the Eastern portion of Seven Ponds (15 lots) SUMMARY OF SALIENT FEATURES The Westerly portion of Seven Ponds is being developed by Westar/Rome partners and contains approximately 40.79 acres net of exterior roadways.

Thank you for your continued cooperation. Respectfully Submitted, 6 4' Richard Bloom RB /ns SEVEN PONDS SECOND- CONFORMANCE WITH SECTION 9, SUB. B. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. Seven Ponds has been carefully designed to meet or exceed the standards for Planned Unit Development review. Our response to the PUD standards is as follows: 1) Benefits from new technology in building design, construction and land development. New technology will be used in the construction of all homes in Seven Ponds East and many of the homes in Seven Ponds West. They include: a. Radon mitigation system. This system substantially reduces the cost of repair if radon is discovered in any home. b. Induced draft heating system. This eliminates backdraft of uncombusted and combusted natural gas, a prime contributor to indoor air pollution. C. Reduced air infiltration. Installation of permeable wrap around all windows, at rim joists and corners to eliminate the effects of wind in wall cavities. 2) Higher standards of site and building design through use of trained and experienced professionals in Land Planning, Architecture and Landscaping to prepare plans for Planned Unit Developments. The Seven Ponds development established a new level of excellence in land planning by: a. maintaining a residential scale in commercial buildings which are across the street from single family homes. b. architecture for the commercial component that has residential features (roof designs and extensive architectural detail found in residential construction). C. reserving space for berms and landscaping to designate a change in land use and to buffer different land use. d. provide convenient services that are necessary in contemporary communities. e. eliminate congestion by establishing safe and convenient access to the commercial service. f. reduce citizen trips by clustering service normally found in multiple locations (gas, cleaners, deli, video). PUD Standards Page 2 3) More efficient and effective use of streets, utilities and public facilities to yield high quality development at a lesser cost. Seven Ponds will use two Project elevation has been extension. The realignment single plat should save the meet the efficient and tho 1970's. different sanitary sewer trunk systems. established to minimize the trunk of County Road 24 and Medina Road in a City hundreds of thousands of dollars and ughtful transportation plan adopted in the 4) More usable and suitably located recreation facilities and other public and common facilities than would otherwise be provided under conventional land development procedures. Seven Ponds includes land that will be dedicated for park centrally located in the quadrant bound by Medina Road, Highway 101 and county Road 24. The park is linked to a trail system that connects the Sherber proposed development on the West with the business located on the east end of Seven Ponds. The path system has been designed to connect with the path system that will be developed on the north side of Highway 55. The path and park system that will be developed on the north side of Highway 55. The path and park system will take advantage of the beauty of the wet lands. 5) Demonstration of affirmative design efforts toward the preservation and enhancement of desirable natual site characteristics. (Amended Ord. No. 82 -15) The natural characteristics of the site have been preserved by placing the homes behind an imaginary line that defines the boundaries of the wet land. We understand it is important to preserve the wetlands because they facilitate the regeneration of the water table, provide a home and nesting for wildlife and contribute to the economic value of the neighborhood. The width of the lots backing up to wet lands and the front yard setback also contribute to preserving the natural character of the site. SEVEN PONDS SECOND - CONFORMANCE WITH CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT STANDARDS FROM SECTION 9, SUB. A. The Seven Ponds project is proposed to be zoned and developed as a mixed use planned unit development (MPUD). The Plymouth Zoning Ordinance requires that Planned Unit Developments obtain a Conditional Use Permit and demonstrate that the project conforms to the following standards: 1) Compliance with and effect upon the Comprehensive Plan. The recently adopted Plymouth Comprehensive Plan proposes Low Density Residential South of re- aligned Medina Road, Planned Industrial North of re- aligned Medina road and West of re- aligned County Road 24 and Service Business north of re- aligned Medina Road and East of re- aligned County Road 24. The Seven Ponds MPUD consists of low density residential, industrial and service business uses consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, Moreover, given the other plan elements such as transportation and utilities, the proposed project allows the City to realize these significant goals and affords greater city control inherent in the MPUD application. 2) The establishment., maintenence or operation of the conditional use will promote and enhance the general public welfare and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals or comfort. All land uses proposed are consistent with the Plymouth Comprehensive Plan. Public safety will be improved when Medina Road and County Road 24 is reconstructed within the proposed right of ways. The general welfare will be fostered by the preservation of wetland areas planned for area -wide stormwater ponding and eventual discharge and preservation of significant woodlands. 3) The conditional use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. The current uses already permitted include single family detached housing along County Road 24, a municipal fire station east of Dunkirk Lane and agricultural /industrial uses north of Medina Road. The Seven Ponds PUD protects and enhances the existing single family housing by continuing new single family units north to CUP Standards Page 2 Medina Road where the uses change to industrial and service business north to State Highway 55. An effective transition in land uses will therefore be realized. The single family homes to be built will be equal to or exceed those present in the area today. 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. Since all land uses proposed within Seven Ponds are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, normal and orderly development of surrounding land uses will not be impeded. Seven Ponds also provides roadway and utility extensions which will enhance development of surrounding land parcels. 5) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress, egress, and parking so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in (on) the public streets. Substantial right of way has been provided in order to re -align both County Road 24 and Medina Road farther south from State Highway 55 in order to facilitate an interchange on 55. No direct residential land access is proposed on either Medina Road or County Road 24. Ingress and egress to the service business and industrial outlots within Seven Ponds has been spaced on adequate distance from the intersection of Medina Road and County Road 24. Adequate parking has been provided on site, such that no on- street parking will occur. 6) The conditional use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of, the district in which it is located. Seven Ponds is consistent with the applicable regulations for the MPUD zoning requested; said request is also consistent with the low density residential, service business and planned industrial guiding for Seven Ponds.

She suggested in the future the Council limit wer height to 35', so that it is a person's responsibility wo6n purchasing a home to ensure that there are no trees higher than 35' and the radio will be usable. Councilmember Ricker also suggested thaX the Council could reasonably exclude a concentration of ntennas from a given area. The key is the reasonableness of a City requirements. MOTION was made by / relative emb Ricker, seconded by Councilmember Helliwelldo RESOLUTION NO. 90 -201 APPROVING CONDITIONAL U OR RICHARD WHITING FOR AN AMATEUR RADIO ANTENNA AT ODD LANE (89104). Councilmember Vasiliou se is very disappointed that a person would force the e effects of this use on a neighbor. Further discussion ensuive to the decrease in the antenna array (number of reduced from 7 to 4). MOTION to amend the ain motion was made by Councilmember Ricker, seconded by ouncilmember Helliwell, that the antenna array be decreased / ried, four elements. Motion to amend c four ayes, Vasiliou nay. Councilmember Ztur stated he is concerned that Mr. Whiting's realtor info d the Whitings any amateur radio antenna desired would be al wed. He thanked the Whitings and Glynns for participati in the mediation process. Councilme er Vasiliou stated recourse is available for homeowne s receiving false information from realtors. Perhaps in mor situations the homeowner should seek recourse from the realt , rather than relying on the City to correct the problem. RESOLUTION NO. 90 -201 FOR RICHARD WHITING FOR RADIO ANTENNA 89104) Item 8 -A Maid( motion carried on a roll call vote, four ayes, Vasiliou nay. Director Tremere presented the staff report on the Preliminary Prel. Plat /Rezoning Plat /General Development Plan and Rezoning application of Hans Hans Hagen Homes Hagen Homes for property located at the southwest corner of (89090) Dunkirk Lane and County Road 24 (89090). He stated the Planning Item 8 -8 Commission found that the design features of the plat involving direct access to County Road 24 and Medina Road, incomplete Regular Council Meeting March 19, 1990 Ink, Page 94 right -of -way at the proposed intersection of County Road 24 and Medina Road; and design inconsistent with the Parks and Trails Element of the Comprehensive Plan were reasons for a denial recommendation. Director Tremere stated the Planning Commission wants the Council to be advised of their determination that alignment of County Road 24 and Medina Road is critical to the orderly development of the property south of Medina Road on either side of proposed County Road 24; that the intersection can be determined without predisposing where County Road 24 crosses Highway 55; and therefore, the Planning Commission recommends that the determination of that intersection be undertaken as part of the study of Medina Road. Hans Hagen explained his development proposal and presented a revised layout. He stated that County Road 24 is likely to be realigned. Mr. Hagen stated that ultimately Garland Lane should be connected to Medina Road, which couldn't be accomplished if County Road 24 is not moved. However, Garland Lane could be moved north with temporary access to existing County Road 24. He cited the benefit of this to Mr. Dahl who platted nearby land but who is constrained due to lack of easements. Mr. Hagen requested that the Council consider allowing one access from his development to County Road 24. Mr. Hagen requested that final action on his application be deferred and that it be remanded to the Planning Commission with direction for approval of temporary access through the Dahl property, Medina Road aligned as proposed, and one access to the commercial property to the north between County Road 24 and Medina Road. The matter of trail location should be whatever is best for the City, but the preferred location is on the north side of County Road 24. Lee Bakewell, 1846 Delaware, stated development in the area will be heavily impacted by the chosen County Road 24 alignment. He believed the issue should be studied as there are possible alignments other than the one suggested by Mr. Hagen. Mr. Hagen's proposal may require construction of interchange ramps on developed property. He presented an alternative concept and encouraged the Council to direct further study of the road design. Manager Willis stated a traffic analysis of the intersection area is needed. The public interest would be better served if the City undertook a study to determine what options are available. Then the affected property owners could advise the Council of their interests. March 19, 1990 Page 95 Dave Dahl, 4255 Kingsview Lane, stated he is the owner and developer of Plymouth Meadows. He said expediting the process to determine the most appropriate location of the County Road 24 and Medina Road intersection will assist him and other affected developers. Councilmember Vasiliou questioned the process for a study of the intersection, and how long the study period would be. Manager Willis responded that a study would involve Hennepin County, Minnesota Department of Transportation, and Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Mr. Hagen's proposal could be approved, denied, or deferred until the study is completed. Mr. Hagen stated in 30 days he will lose the option to the property. He believes his development will work whether or not County Road 24 is realigned because the alignment of Medina Road is certain. Manager Willis stated it is staff's opinion that the alignment of Medina Road is not certain and that is one of the reasons for more detailed study. Bill Pritchard, Orrin Thompson Homes, stated he has no objection to Mr. Hagen's proposal, but encouraged the Council to conduct further study on future alignment. Director Tremere stated the Council is under a time constraint by state law to act on the preliminary plat application, but the City can extend the time for review and action since Mr. Hagen requested deferral. Mr. Hagen reiterated that action on his application be deferred. MOTION was made by Councilmember Vasiliou, seconded by Councilmember Zitur, to defer action and to remand Mr. Hagen's application to the Planning Commission noting the discussion before the Council and the need for a study of the road layout in this area. Motion carried on a roll call vote, four ayes, Helliwell nay. MOTION was made by Councilmember Vasiliou, seconded by Mayor Bergman, to authorize establishment of a study to review area road alignment issues of Medina Road /County Road 24 intersection. Motion carried, five ayes. CITY OF PLYMOUTH PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES FEBRUARY 28, 1990 The Regular Meeting of the City of Plym h Planning Commission was called to order to 1:30 p.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman Richard P ka, Commissioners John Wire, Hal Pie e, Dennis Zylla, Joy Tierney, and Mich 1 Stulberg. MEMBERS ABSENT: ComXITypist arry Marofsky. STAFF PRESENT: CooCharles Dillerud, City Engn Faulkner, and Sr. Cle enise Lanthier. MINUTES MOTION by ommissioner Wire, seconded by Commissioner Pierce, t approve the Minutes for the February 14, 1990, Plannin Commission Meeting. V?0;. 5 Ayes. Chairman Plufka abstained. Chairman Plufka introduced the request by Hans Hagen Homes for a Preliminary Plat and Rezoning from FRD to R -1A and B -3 located at the southwest corner of Dunkirk Lane and County Road 24. Commissioner Stulberg excused himself from the discussions of this item. Coordinator Dillerud gave an overview of the February 14, 1990, staff report. Commissioner Zylla asked staff if there is anything east of Dunkirk that could effect the proposed Medina Road alignment. Coordinator Dillerud responded negatively and stated that in the alignment through plat on the east end was correct. Commissioner Zylla asked staff if further analysis was done to assure it does not interfere. City Engineer Faulkner responded that it would tie in at Dunkirk Lane. MOTION TO APPROVE VOTE - MOTION CARRIED HANS HAGEN HOMES (89090) Planning Commission Minut__ February 28, 1990 Page 25 Commissioner Zylla stated that the petitioner will need Medina Road access and asked staff if the intersection at County Road 24 and Dunkirk will get closed. City Engineer Faulkner responded that closing the County Road 24 /Dunkirk Lane intersection is part of his recommendation. Commissioner Zylla asked staff what the time frame is for the proposed construction of new Medina Road. City Engineer Faulkner responded that construction of new Medina Road is included in the 1990 Capital Improvements Program. Chairman Plufka stated that the City will need to preserve options. Commissioner Tierney stated she was concerned that the petitioner does not have direct access to their site from Medina Road. City Engineer Faulkner stated that there will be reasonable access to the site from Dunkirk Lane on the south. Chairman Plufka stated that from a practical standpoint, no B -3 business could survive with minimal access as staff has recommended. City Engineer Faulkner stated that his recommendation was based on the traffic analysis. Commissioner Tierney asked staff if the Dunkirk cul -de -sac would serve both Hans Hagen and the site to the east. City Engineer Faulkner responded affirmatively. Commissioner Pierce asked staff what purpose the "bubble" will serve on proposed Medina Road. City Engineer Faulkner responded that the "bubble" will serve as a driveway for the proposed residential lots abutting it, but that staff recommended against this design feature. Commissioner Pierce asked staff what the traffic level is estimated to become. Chairman Plufka stated that relocation of the Medina Road to stay away from Highway 55. the reason for the proposed intersection to the south is Commissioner Wire asked staff if the proposed intersection of County Road 24 with Highway 55 will be of a cloverleaf design. Planning Commission Minut February 28, 1990 Page 26 City Engineer Faulkner responded that the intersection will be of a folded diamond design. He further added that estimated traffic on Medina Road in the year 2010 consists of 13,000 vehicles per day. Chairman Plufka introduced Hans Hagen, the petitioner. Mr. Hagen stated he felt the City should deal with the Transportation Plan and decide on the location of the intersection of Medina Road and County Road 24. He stated he would be agreeable to dedicate the easements needed for Medina Road and County Road 24 to accomplish the alignment suggested in the Hennepin County sketch design. He stressed that Plymouth Meadows will need access to Medina Road as well. Commissioner Tierney asked Mr. Hagen why he proposes to have access onto County Road 24. Mr. Hagen responded that the right -in and right -out design would reduce traffic congestion by eleminating some left turns to the site. He added that the proposed vacation of Dunkirk Lane will divide County Road 24 from Medina Road to the north. Chairman Plufka asked Mr. Hagen if it is appropriate to have a single family residential lots abut a collector street, such as proposed by-his plat. Mr. Hagen responded that townhomes would be more appropriate, and added that the "bubble" would provide safety for those residents backing out of their driveways. Chairman Plufka opened the Public Hearing. Chairman Plufka introduced Jerry Theis of 801 Valley Drive, St. Michael. Mr. Theis stated he is the owner of Dundee Nursery and he objects to the realignment of County Road 24 depicted by the Hennepin County sketch attached to the Engineer's memorandum on this application. He further stated he was upset about the lack of notice on the road alignment issue. Chairman Plufka introduced Richard Bloom of 14600 Woodruff Road, Wayzata. Mr. Bloom stated he is the developer of the property to the west of Hans Hagen's site. He stated he encourages the City to quickly resolve the issue of County Road 24 and Medina Road. He stated he concurs with the construction of Medina Road this year. Chairman Plufka introduced Dave Dahl of 4255 Kingsview Lane. Planning Commission Minut February 28, 1990 Page 27 Mr. Dahl stated he is the developer and owner of Plymouth Meadows. He stated he is at a standstill until the City decides on this plat because he needs sanitary sewer that comes through this plat for his development. He encourages the City to move expediently. He further added that he is in favor of the proposed plan. Chairman Plufka closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Wire stated that it is apparent that the developers wish to move ahead quickly; therefore, he felt the Commission should move this item onto City Council with a recommendation for denial. Chairman Plufka stated that he felt the City should be able to make a decision about the intersection of Medina Road and County Road 24, and the County Road 24 alignment south of that intersection. This would settle design issues for this and other parcels in this vicinity. Commissioner Zylla concurred with Chairman Plufka. He added he wants to move this proposal forward to the City Council with the recommendation for approval. Commissioner Tierney asked staff what the reason was to have a 90 degree angle at the intersection of proposed County Road 24 and Medina Road if, eventually, Medina Road extends further west at a different location. Coordinator Dillerud responded that the City does not know where County Road 24 will be located - -it could remain in the current location. He added that the developer needs to accommodate the intersection as existing since the alignment of Medina Road would not be physically changed for some time. Chairman Plufka stated he does not feel comfortable recommending approval of this proposal because he feels it is an inapproprate Preliminary Plat for single family residential development fronting on Medina Road, a collector street. Commissioner Wire stated he also does not feel comfortable recommending approval of this proposal because with the proposed realignment of County Road 24 and Medina Road, there will be many severed parcels. Commissioner Zylla stated that he feels Dunkirk is a minor collector and does not agree with the cul -de -sac concept recommended by the City staff. MOTION by Commissioner Wire, seconded by Chairman Plufka, to MOTION TO DENY recommend denial of the Preliminary Plan and Rezoning from FRD to R -1A and B -3 for Hans Hagen Homes located at the 6. Planning Commission Minut February 28, 1990 Page 28 southwest corner of Dunkirk Lane and County Road 24, deleting all the conditions and replacing them with one condition stating that the developer has incomplete knowledge of the Thoroughfare Guide Plan changes and is unable to go ahead with his plans. The motion also includes a recommendation to the City Council that they define the location of the County Road 24 and Medina Road intersection in order to proceed with the development of that intersection. MOTION by Chairman Plufka, seconded by Commissioner Tierney, MOTION TO AMEND to amend the main motion by restoring Condition 1 and deleting the words "Medina Road" on the second line. Chairman Plufka stated that the reason he wants to restore Condition 1 by deleting the words "Medina Road" is because he feels Medina Road is an appropriate access point. He stated he feels it is inappropriate to not have an easy access into a convenience store. Roll Call Vote. 2 Ayes. Commissioners Wire, Zylla, and VOTE - MOTION TO AMEND Tierney Nay. MOTION failed. FAILED MOTION by Commissioner Tierney, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO AMEND Pierce, to amend the main motion by restoring Condition 1.

MOTION by Chairman Plufka, seconded by Commissioner Tierney, MOTION TO AMEND to amend the main motion by restoring Condition 4 and deleting the words "fee or" in the last line. Chairman Plufka stated that his reason for restoring Condition 4 by deleting the words "fee or" is because it would be easy vacate an easement if the County Road 24 alignment changes.

On October 16, 1989, the City Council adopted Resolution 89 -649, finding "no need" for an Environmental Impact Statement, based on the review of the Environmental Assessment Worksheet. On April 2, 1990, the City Council, by Resolution 90 -233, approved a Final Plat and MPUD Final Plan (Final Plan was only with respect to the outlots) for the entire 52 -acre site. On May 21, 1990, the City Council adopted resolutions approving both an MPUD Final Site Plan for the area to be occupied by the "Target" west of Vinewood Lane, and a Master Sign Plan for the entire MPUD. The resolution approving that Target Final Site Plan included two performance - related conditions, directed by the City Council to be added to the MPUD Conditional Use Permit. A waste compactor was permitted without an enclosure subject to continued compliance with cleanliness of the site; and screening of roof top units was waived subject to noise level of those units not exceeding State standards at the north property line. Proposed by this application is an MPUD Preliminary Plan amendment and Final Site Plans for the construction of 203,110 square feet of retail commercial buildings consisting of a 197,760 square foot multi- tenant building on Lots 1 and 2, Block 2, and a 5,350 square foot freestanding restaurant on Lot 3, Block 2. Also requested is an amendment to the MPUD Plan /Conditional Use Permit to allow the outdoor display of garden center products and the provision of a "convenience window" at the restaurant facility without the full required vehicle stacking space. see next page) F.i lte 9 51 Page Two Notice of the Public Hearing concerning the amendments to the MPUD Preliminary Plan and Conditional Use Permit has appeared in the official City newspaper, and has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. A development sign has been placed on the property. PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: 1. The Site Plans proposed meet or exceed Ordinance and /or City Policy standards with respect to setbacks for structures, parking, and drive isle setbacks; off - street parking (912 spaces provided for the shopping center versus an Ordinance standard of 864; and 70 spaces provided for the restaurant site consistent with,the Ordinance standard of 70 spaces); and traffic islands /site landscaping. In addition, the site meets Ordinance and /or City Policy requirements with respect to Fire Code - related facilities parking lot and drive area design (except as noted below), and public utilities - related standards (except as noted in the Engineer's Memorandum). Proposed exterior lighting retains illumination above .5- foot candles within the site borders, consistent with the illumination standards applied to exterior lighting and site parking. 2. The applicant has specified installation of screening for trash handling facilities for the "Rainbow Foods" portion of the multiple tenant structure and the freestanding restaurant site. In addition, the applicant has indicated internal trash handling facilities at four locations within the balance of the multiple tenant building on Lots 1 and 2. No specific provisions are shown on the plan for individual retail shops, Anchor 4, Anchor 3, or the garden center. 3. The applicant has submitted plan graphics which demonstrate that the roof top mechanical units proposed for the shopping center structure would not be visible due to site angles and proposed structure parapets from 11 of 12 points of reference along the four thoroughfares that abut the site. The applicant proposes no screening - -in addition to the parapets now proposed - -be included in the construction plans, based on the invisibility of the roof top units from the 11 site lines presented. As with the previous Target proposal, we observe that other site lines to this project will exist, including views from residential areas located above this site in areas east of Northwest Boulevard. The provisions of the Zoning Ordinance Section 8, Subdivision G, paragraph 2g provide that such equipment may be required to be screened where the design, color, and location are found to not effectively provide aesthetic harmony and compatibility. No roof top equipment is proposed for the restaurant structure. 4. The Sign Plans proposed are responsive to the "Master Sign Plan" approved by the City Council on May 21, 1990. 5. Resolution 89 -689, approving the MPUD Preliminary Plan and Conditional Use Permit for this site contained three specific design- related conditions to see next page) File 90051 Page Three be considered by the Planning Commission in review of the Final Site Plans for this site, as follow: a. Each Final Site Plan shall specifically address efforts to create and maintain the appearance of site and structures consistent with the high visibility of the site. Structure elevations provided with the building plans specify a building face treatment of a combination of beige face brick and grey rock face block. The transition between these two primary wall types would be highlighted by accent bands of glazed block. The structure proposed for the freestanding restaurant site is designed with a brick /stucco finish with a peaked roof in a manner similar to the existing "Bakers Square" facilities throughout the Metropolitan area. No color for the brick or stucco is specified by the architectural elevations. Use of brick and stucco color similar to that already proposed for both the Target and the main shopping center would bring this building into conformance with the pattern of architectural appearance already established for this MPUD. b. Site Plans shall include effective means to screen loading and other services facilities West Medicine Lake Drive and the north propert line 42nd Place North. Such means shall include predominantly landscape methods, and not fencina. Truck dock areas servicing the "Drug Emporium ", "T.J. Maxx ", "garden center ", and "Rainbow Foods" are proposed to be screened by a masonry screen wall approximately 8 feet in height. The finish of the wall is proposed to be the same as the finish of the structure walls based on the structure elevations presented. The effective screening impact of these proposed walls is greater than 8 feet of height proposed due to the recess from grade for the truck docks to be located behind the walls. This additional impact of screening ranges from 2 -4 feet. The length of the proposed screen walls ranges from 50 feet (T.J. Maxx and Drug Emporium) to 55 feet (garden center and Rainbow Foods). This length would reasonably screen a typical semi - trailer, but would not screen an attached tractor in most cases. c. Architectural treatment of the south and east elevations (facing County Road 9 and West Medicine Lake Drive shall include design measures to re uce the impact of building wall mass. Two sections of shopping center wall mass totalling approximately 300 feet each, broken only by an oblique angle, will be visible from West Medicine Lake Road across the pond in Outlot A and immediately south. Due to the use of a retaining wall to protect a difficult grade problem in this area of the site, very little landscaping is available see next page) File 90051 Page Four to reduce the impact of these extended wall areas. Elsewhere along the south and east elevations of the building wall mass is broken by the loading docks /outdoor display area and a more extensive use of landscaping. Those design - related conditions are in addition to the provisions of the City Policy resolution regarding "Standards and Criteria Regarding Site and Building Aesthetics and Architectural Design ". 6. The "outdoor display" of 28,000 square feet proposed by the Final Site Plans was not an element of the amended MPUD Preliminary Plan and Conditional Use Permit. An earlier approved PUD Plan had included such an outdoor display area on the west side of Vinewood Lane where the "Target" Site Plan has now been approved. When the amendment was presented moving Target" to the west side of Vinewood Lane, the plan did not carry the outdoor display area to any other part of the site. It has only been with plans in support of Master Sign Plan and Tax Increment Financing that mention has been made of this outdoor display area. The PUD Plan has not officially been approved with such an area in it. Any business activity no conducted in an enclosed yard or building is a conditional use in the B -2 Zoning District underlying this site. 7. Section 10, Subdivision B, paragraph 51 of the Zoning Ordinance provides that single drive -in facilities shall have a minimum of ten vehicle spaces provided as "stacking area ". The stacking area shall be delineated in such a manner that vehicles waiting in line will not interfere with nor obstruct the primary driving and parking facilities on that site. The applicant proposes a "convenience window" for the restaurant site on Lot 3. No more than four lengths of vehicle stacking would be available from the center line of the convenience window to the south line of the drive isle (presuming a south to north circulation pattern for the convenience window). The applicant has been made aware of the inconsistency of his plan with the Zoning Ordinance standards in this regard, and has requested that this become an amendment to the PUD Plan as an additional item of design flexibility. PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: 1. The MPUD Final Plan proposed, except as noted below, is consistent with Zoning Ordinance standards and the approved MPUD Preliminary Plan. 2. We find the proposed amendment to the MPUD Preliminary Plan and Conditional Use Permit to permit outdoor storage in an area surrounded by a decorative metal fence to be consistent with the Planned Unit Development Preliminary Plan criteria and the Conditional Use Permit criteria of Section 10 of the Zoning Ordinance. The 8 -foot or greater grade separation placing the outdoor display area above the traveling surface of County Road 9 will substantially mitigate the appearance of that display area. see next page) File 90051 Page Five 3. We find the reduction in the stacking area for the restaurant proposed for Lot 3 to be consistent with both PUD criteria and Conditional Use Permit criteria based on the internal orientation of the site which will preclude any overflow stacking conflicting with a public street. We recommend a specific condition of performance including City review of the Conditional Use Permit should stacking result in circulation conflicts with the adjoining site. 4. Trash handling, where not otherwise specified, must be handled internally since no trash enclosures constructed consistent with the Zoning Ordinance are specified other than those noted above. A condition of approval should be that all trash be 4tored within the structures except with respect to the trash enclosures for "Rainbow Foods" and "Bakers Square ". 5. As with the previous Target Final Site Plan for this project, staff is concerned with the lack of screening for the roof top units. We do not believe the use of parapet site lines is an adequate substitute for direct screening of the roof top units. The City Council approved no screening but painting to match the structure) for Target with a specific provision that future noise complaints will result in review of the need for screening by the City Council if noise at the north property line exceeds State standards. At a minimum, this same standard should be included with this Site Plan. 6. We find the Site Plans proposed are in compliance with the 3 conditions of design specified in Resolution 89 -689 approving the RPUD Preliminary Plan for this site. The 27 -foot elevation difference between West Medicine Lake Road and the first floor elevation of the shopping center structure should mitigate the wall sections on the east side of the "retail shops" that are basically unbroken for two 300 -foot stretches. The observer traveling West Medicine Lake Road will primarily view the retaining wall, and not the shopping center itself.
