ANNOUNCEMENTS 9. ADJOURNMENT · Petitioners are required to be in attendance Planning Commission Guidelines for Public Input The Planning Commission is an advisory body, created to advise the City Council on land use. The Planning Commission will recommend Council approval or denial of a land use proposal based upon the Planning Commission's determination of whether the proposed use is permitted under the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Plan, and whether the proposed use will, or will not, adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood. The Planning Commission holds informal public hearings on land use proposals to enable you to learn, first-hand, what such proposals are, and to permit you to ask questions and offer comments. Your questions and comments become part of the record and will be used by the Council, along with the Planning Commission's recommendation, in reaching its decision. To aid in your understanding and to facilitate your comments and questions, the Planning Commission will utilize the following procedure: 1. The Planning Commission Chair will introduce the proposal. 2. City staff will outline the proposal and staff's recommendations and answer any questions from the Planning Commission. 3. The petitioner is invited to describe the proposal, make comments on the staff report, and answer questions from the Planning Commission. 4. The Chair will open the public hearing, asking first for those who wish to speak to so indicate by raising their hands. The Chair may set a time limit for individual questions/comments if a large number of persons have indicated a desire to speak. Spokespersons for groups will have a longer period of time for questions/comments. 5. When recognized by the Chair, the person wishing to speak is asked to come forward and to give their full name and address clearly. Remember, your questions/comments are for the record. 6. Direct your questions/comments to the Chair. The Chair will determine who will answer your questions. 7. No one will be given the opportunity to speak a second time until everyone has had the opportunity to speak initially. Please limit your second presentation to new information, not rebuttal. 8. At the close of the public hearing, the Planning Commission will discuss the proposal and take appropriate action. Al If the Planning'Commission recommends that the City Council approve or deny a request, the planning case will be placed on the City Council agenda for the next regular meeting. Usually this meeting is within one to two weeks of the Planning Commission meeting. B. If the Planning Commission tables the request, the petitioner will be asked to return for the next Commission meeting.

Specific Information: City staff has been discussing this addition with church representatives for over a year and suggested that they may want to consider subdividing and selling a portion of the excess property for single-family residential development. IV. Background The Parish Community of St. Joseph is requesting a conditional use permit and preliminary plat approval for the purpose of expanding the existing church structure via new sanctuary and an eventual residential development of a proposed outlot. The subject site is located southwest of the Boone Avenue and 36th Avenue intersection. The proposed sanctuary addition will comfortably accommodate 950 people. A conditional use permit is needed in order to expand a church use in the R-1 District. The site is currently a metes and bounds description and is required by ordinance to be platted. V. Petitioner's Comments The applicant stated on the planning application for the conditional use permit that the "project involves the addition of worship space to the existing building and involves building a permanent worship space for the parish." The applicant stated on the planning application for the subdivision and platting that the purpose was "to subdivide and plat property in order to sell Lot 2 for residential development. The church is selling property as part of the financial package for the construction of the new worship center on the site." The petitioner submitted a narrative as follows: "Existing Conditions - The Parish Center is just over 30 years old. Its plan has very flexible, open spaces on two floors that accommodate worship, fellowship, and education activities. The floors, bearing walls and rigid frame beams are cast in place concrete. The large overhanging roof beams and intermediate purlins are glue-lam members supporting a cementicious fiber roof decking. Non-bearing wood paneled stud walls infill between the concrete supports. The Parish Center currently holds four worship services (Saturday evening, Sunday morning and Sunday evening) for its 1800 families in the High Hall. The average attendance ranges between 350- 650 people per service. The High Hall has always been a temporary place for worship. The original plans indicated a future sanctuary to the west of the High Hall in the location of this proposal. Two additional services are held in a remote chapel several miles from the property. The staff has regular hours Monday through Friday 8:30 - 4:30. The nursery provides child care during services and scheduled events, but does not perform regular daycare services. The ministry and education programs generally occur during weekday evenings and weekends. There is currently no plan to provide weekday parochial education to youths. The houses on the corner of 36th and Boone host many of the youth activities and store office records and files. Purpose of the Proposal - The need for the project began with providing adequate space for youth activities. The house is in need of repair and it does not accommodate large active functions. Several times a year the High Hall becomes a volleyball court or a dining hall only to convert back to a place of worship by Saturday eve~iing. A dedicated worship space will provide the church with a true sanctuary to practice and honor their faith and allow more flexibility for fellowship and recreational activities to occur in the High Hall. The proposal provides a permanent home for the youth program in the south end of the High Hall. Scope - A dedicated sanctuary designed to comfortably accommodate 950 people will be added adjacent to the current High Hall. Existing space will be remodeled to add accessible reestreoms. Minor Planning Case Report 02-12 & 03-04 Page 2 5/30/03 VI. VII. A. remodeling will occur to accommodate the youth program into the current building. An elevator will be added near the existing stair to provide accessibility between floors. The existing bridge and stair at the east entrance will be removed and replaced with an enclosed stair and vestibule. As a result of the addition, a fire sprinkler system will be added throughout the entire building. A storm water retention pond will be provided to comply with the City's Water Management Plan. The estimated construction cost is approximately 4 million dollars. Design Description - The sanctuary is planned to comfortably seat 950 people in pews and chairs. While this is an increase in capacity of 200 people the demographics of New Hope suggests that the church will not increase significantly in numbers. The church feels confident that this design will support its average worship attendance many years into the future. The addition will not remove any of the existing 267 parking spaces on the property. A signed agreement with Sonnesyn Elementary School will increase St. Joseph's off street parking capacity of 373 spaces. The addition will compliment and enhance the existing building with materials and form. The addition will have a concrete base to match the existing Padsh Center. In place of wood paneling, the new structures will have an architectural metal (copper or a powder coat painted bronze) panel with vertical joints to simulate the neighboring wood battens. The new cross will be supported by a stone wall that mimics the roof of the High Hall as it continues across the sanctuary. Using stone only in this location helps identify the sanctuary from the outside while crating a focal point behind the altar platform from within. Similar to the existing building, the roof is relatively flat and unnoticeable. In plan, the exterior walls of the addition continue the curve of the existing building at the south and rotate to the north with the altar at its center, turning the walls back on themselves and creating an end cap to the existing building. The curving walls will be near in height to the main walls of the Parish Center. The flat walls will rise slightly above to compare more to the roof of the High Hall. The stone wall will peak near the cross at approximately 33 feet and slope down as Iow as 29 feet above grade. Code - The additions and modifications are designed under the current IBC 2000 code and the Minnesota 2002 code. The additions are concrete, masonry and steel framed structures designed to Type II-B requirements. The existing building is interpreted as a Type III-B construction. Fire sprinklers will be provided in the additions and throughout the existing building. Accessibility will be improved with the addition of an elevator and new restrooms. All rooftop equipment will be painted to match building color. Signage will not be added or changed on the property Small trees (2" - 4" diameter) will be relocated. Some overstory trees between the addition and the west property line will be replaced with overstory trees of equal or approved quality to provide a continuous canopy when trees reach maturity." Notification Property owners within 350 feet of the property were notified and staff has received no comments Development Analysis Zoninq Code Cdteri'~ Subdivision and PlattirLr, The purpose of this chapter is to make certain regulations and requirements for the subdivision and platting of land within 'the City of New Hope pursuant to the authority contained in Minnesota Statutes 462.358, which regulations the City Council deems necessary for the health, safety and general welfare of this community. It is also the purpose of this chapter to safeguard the best interests of the City of New Hope and to assist the subdivider in harmonizing his interests with those of the City at large. Planning Case Report 02-12 & 03-04 Page 3 5/30/03 The subject site is zoned R-l, Single Family Residential, of which religious buildings are allowed a.'~' conditional uses. The site is surrounded by Iow density single family residential uses to the north, east, and west, and the Sonnesyn Elementary School to the south. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for public and semipublic use. Section 13 of the New Hope City Code requires that metes and bounds descriptions be platted. The proposed preliminary plat consists of Lot 1, Block 1, which is an 8.9 acre parcel containing the existing and proposed church addition, a 2.42 acre Outlot A which is planned to eventually be developed into residential lots, and 1.3 acres of right-of-way. The preliminary plat should be revised to show a five-foot easement along the southern lot line as shown on the revised architectural site plan. The City Code states that copies of the final plat shall be submitted to the Planning Commission for its review and recommendation, unless this requirement is waived by the Planning Commission during its review of the preliminary plat. Per the attached correspondence, the petitioner has requested waiver of the review of the final plat by the Planninq Commission. The Planning Commission will need to make a determination as to whether it wants to review the final plat or not. Due to the simple nature of the plat, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission waive the review of this final plat. Per routine policy, the preliminary plat was submitted to city department heads, City Attorney, City Engineer, Planning Consultant, utility companies and Hennepin County for review and comment. Comments received include the following: Planninq Consultant Performance Standards - As previously stated, the site is zoned R-1 and the proposed use is allowed as a conditional use, subject to the following standards; Description Standard Proposed Minimum Lot Width: 75 feet 566 feet Compliant Building Height 2 ~ stories or 32 feet 35 feet Compliant Setback Principal Structure Proposed Description Front Yard: 30 feet 326 feet Compliant Side Yard: 20 feet 40 feet Compliant Rear Yard: 25 feet , 160 feet Compliant As seen from the above table, the proposed plat and addition meet the performance standards for a subdivision within the R-1 district. As previously stated, Outlot ^ is planned for future residential development and will be accessed via a cul-de-sac extension off of 38th Avenue from the west. The architectural site plan shows a 40-foot right-of-way along both 36th Avenue and Boone Avenue as well as the needed five-foot drainage and utility easement along the south lot line, consistent with city standards. The preliminary plat should be revised to show this as well. City Enqineer May 28 Comments The church has submitted revised site plans for a building expansion. The following comments relate to the submitted' information and the future improvements. 1. Refer to previous comments issued on May 14. 2. Previous comments referenced the need for a water main extension through the property to facilitate a fire hydrant south of the church and a looped connection to the future residential subdivision. The applicant has revised the plans to include this water main loop. Further review Planning Case Report 02-12 & 03-04 Page 4 5/30/03 of this loop with Public Works has raised concems regarding ownership and maintenance of this water main loop. The loop will serve future residents; therefore, the loop must be protected by drainage and utility easement. The need for this easement may impact the plat. May 14 Comments Overall, the plat is consistent with past discussions. Specific comments are as follows: 1. 40-foot ROW is shown along 36th Avenue as is required. 40-foot half ROW already exists along Boone Avenue and is reflected on the plat. 2. Drainage and utility easement is provided over the "ravine" area along the west side of the property. This will protect the existing natural drainage route and enable the City to construct a storm sewer in the ravine to eliminate current erosion issues. The City must review the easement particularly in the area of the building expansion to ensure the storm sewer can be constructed in a desirable location. 3. It is recommended that a 5-foot (min.) drainage and utility easement be platted along the south property line as is typical. The public storm sewer in this area is shown to be south of the property line on the Sonnesyn property. 4. The southwest portion of the property is shown as an outlot. It is anticipated that this outlot will be sold to a developer and replatted in the future as single family residential. City Attorney I have received the preliminary plat for the Parish Community of St. Joseph's dated May 6, 2003, and signed by John K. Barnes (hereinafter "Plat"). I have reviewed the plat for compliance with the City's platting ordinance found at New Hope Code (hereinafter "Code") Section 13-4(a). I have noted the following comments and exceptions: CODE RELATED COMMENTS AND EXCEPTIONS' 1. Comment: Proposed name. The proposed name of the subdivision is Padsh Community of St. Joseph's.

Conditional Use Permit 1. The purpose of a Conditional Use Permit is to provide the City with a reasonable and legally permissible degree of discretion in determining suitability of certain designated uses upon the general welfare, public health, and safety. In making this determination, to allow a conditional use permit application, the City may consider the nature of adjoining land or buildings, similar uses already in existence and located on the same premises or on other lands close by, the effect upon traffic into and from the premises, or on any adjoining roads, and any other factors bearing on the general welfare, public health, and safety from the approval of the conditional use permit. 2. Cdteria for Decision. The Planning Commission and City Council shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed conditional use. In determining whether to approve or deny a conditional use permit, the City Council and Planning Commission shall find that the conditional use permit complies with the following criteria.

B. Development Review Team The Development Review Team discussed this on May 14 and was supportive of the request. Comments included: parking, landscaping, traffic circulation around the building, building materials, signage, drainage and utility easement, additional right-of-way along 36th Avenue, ponding and cash fee, water main, hydrant, irrigation system, lighting, and submittal of plans to Bassett Creek Watershed. C. Desiqn & Review Committee The Design & Review Committee met with the petitioner on May 15 and was supportive of the request. Revised plans were submitted as a result of the meeting. Planning Case Report 02-12 & 03-04 Page 8 5/30/03 Plan Description The revised plans include the following details, including excerpts from the Planner's report: 1. Site Data Summary Zoning Existing Site Acreage Proposed Site Sub-Division Acreage R-1 Single Family Residential 11.4 Acres 8.91 Acres Existing Building Footprint Proposed Additional Footprint Total Footprint 28.082 Sq.

Ft. 34.2% Percent of Green Space 54.6% Designed Worship Seats I 950 Worship Seats {~ 18" I 1060 2. Access/Circulation - The site has four access points, one to the north off of 36th Avenue, two to the east of the Boone Avenue and one to the south which is a shared access off of Boone Avenue with the elementary school. All accesses will remain as is, with the exception of the north access off of 36th Avenue, of which the curb cut is being proposed to shift to the west and expand to 36 feet in width. The expansion of this access was approved as part of the 36th Avenue improvement project. Upon first review of proposed addition, staff had concerns regarding the ability to adequately access and protect the southwest portion of the site from fire. The applicant has since revised the plans to show a fire department foot access location around the west side of the proposed sanctuary addition and the location of a fire hydrant along the south side of the existing building. The City's fire chief should make comment as to any concerns in regards to fire protection. 3. Parkinq - The Zoning Ordinance requires at least one parking stall for each three seats based on the design capacity of the main assembly hall. The proposed sanctuary will seat a capacity of 950 people. As such, 316 parking stalls are to be provided on site. The site currently consists of 264 parking stalls and the applicant is proposing a joint parking agreement between the church and Sonnesyn Elementary School to the south, adding an additional 106 joint parking stalls, exceeding the amount of needed parking. Planning staff is generally comfortable with this arrangement, provided there is a signed agreement, as there shouldn't be any substantial conflicts between the use's principal operating hours. Twelve (12) ADA stalls exist on the site.

Staff expressed~ concern with the site grading extending into an existing tree line along the west property line, which currently provides a buffer between the church and the Kimball addition to the west. The applicant has revised the original landscape plan to show a symbol representing the replacement of existing trees. The grading plan shows a silt fence apron separating the graded area and protecting the remaining trees. A list of the number, type, and dimension of replacement trees should be submitted for staff review.

Two (2) three inch (3") caliper ash trees are proposed for relocation immediately south of the sanctuary expansion. The plan notes that where possible, existing trees are to be preserved. Eight (8) overstory trees will be placed west of the sanctuary expansion. These trees are intended to replace overstory trees lost with this development. The plan note states that they will be replaced as approved to provide canopy cover. The plan does not indicate type or size. Per May 21, 2003 narrative, "Some overstory trees between the addition and the west property line will be replaced with overstory trees of equal or approved quality to provide a continuous canopy when trees reach maturity." One (1) bench and one (1) art sculpture will be placed east of the sanctuary entrance. Sod will be placed on all disturbed areas. The following new landscaping is proposed for the site: East Addition - Nine (9) Gold Flame Spirea are proposed west of the concrete steps. Large nugget bark mulch with edging is also proposed. Sanctuary Addition - Twenty-seven (27) Hosta varieties are proposed for the site: five (5) along the southern end of the sanctuary addition and twenty-two (22) along the northem end of the addition. Two (2) Ivory Halo Dogwood trees will be planted at the site, both east of the north sanctuary doorway. Four (4) Rhododendron will be planted at the site: one (1) on the south end of the sanctuary expansion and the remaining three (3) east of the north sanctuary doorway. Nine (9) Taunton Yews will be planted at the site: three (3) on the south side of the expansion and six (6) east of the north sanctuary doorway. One (1) Gold Flame Spirea will be placed west of the north sanctuary doorway. Ten (10) Annabelle Hydrangea will be planted at the site, all of which, will be placed east of the north sanctuary doorway. One (1) Amur Maple will be placed adjacent to the sanctuary east of the doorway. Large nugget bark mulch with edged perimeters will be used. Crushed gravel will be used for the courtyard. Utility Plan - As requested by city staff, the utility plans show a looping of the water main from Boone Avenue to 35"~ Avenue to accommodate the future subdivision of the proposed outlot. The water main extends into the site, providing a fire hydrant for the southwest portion of the Planning Case Report 02-12 & 03-04 Page 10 5/30/03 church structure. The existing sanitary sewer connection will remain as is. The utility plan is subject to the City Engineers review and comment. Gradinq Plan - The grading plan is subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Storm Water - A large retention pond is located at the southwest portion of the site, east of the proposed outlot. The applicant should respond as to whether this pond is being constructed to maintain the future residential development to the west. The City Engineer has also requested that the applicant provide site survey and grading plans to the engineer in digital format, allowing the engineer to analyze the regional ponding and/or storm sewer that may be needed on the site. Buildinq Elevation/Floor Plan - Both the entrance addition and proposed sanctuary will match the existing structure in building material and architectural style. Per May 21, 2003 narrative, "The sanctuary is planned to comfortably seat 950 people in pews and chairs. While this is an increase in capacity of 200 people, the demographics of New Hope suggest that the church will not increase significantly in numbers. The church feels confident that this design will support their average worship attendance many years into the future." Furthermore, the narrative states, "The addition will compliment and enhance the existing building with materials and form. The addition will have a concrete base to match the existing Padsh Center. In place of wood paneling, the new structures will have an architectural metal (copper or a powder coat painted bronze) panel with vertical joints to simulate the neighboring wood battens. The new cross will be supported by a stone wall that mimics the roof on the High Hall as it continues across the sanctuary. Similar to the existing building the roof is relatively fiat. In plan, the extedor walls of the addition continue the curve of the existing building at the south and rotate to the north with the altar at its center, turning the walls back on themselves and creating an end cap to the existing building. The curving walls will be near in height to the main walls of the Padsh Center. The fiat walls will rise slightly above to compare more to the roof of the High Hall. The stone wall will peak near the cross at approximately thirty-three feet (33') and slope down as Iow as twenty-nine feet (29') above grade." Materials are as follows: Sanctuary: The north elevation and east elevation will include a mix of concrete panels, stone veneer, metal siding, metal coping, aluminum curtain wall and glass. The south and west elevations will include a mix of metal siding a concrete wall, pre-cast concrete panels, metal siding, metal coping, glass and pre-finished metal louvers. East Addition: The east addition will include a double door entry with glass treatment above the doors, metal coping and metal siding. The narrative also stated, "AIl roof top equipment will be painted to match building color." Liqhtincj - The applicant has provided photometric plans showing the exterior lighting for both the east entrance addition area and the west patio area. The photometric plans appear to provide adequate light around both entrances. Sanctuary Addition: Per the Police Department's recommendation, one (1) one hundred and fifty watt (150 W) high pressure sodium fixture will be placed at the western exit of the sanctuary addition. The north exit of the sanctuary addition will be served by existing site lighting. Foot- candle calculations indicate compliance with the City Code requirement of a maximum of (1) foot-candle of illumination at the property line when abutting residential property. East Addition: Five (5) fixtures are proposed for the east addition. All are indicated to be one hundred and fifty watt (150 W) high pressure sodium fixtures. One (1) will be placed on the west side of the east addition, eleven feet (11') north of the south end. One (1) will be placed on the east side of the east addition, twelve feet (12') north of the south end. Two (2) will be placed on Page 11 Planning Case Report 02-12 & 03-04 5/30/03 Fo Go Ho the south end of the addition, one (1) on the easternmost wall and one (1) in the step are~=~- Finally, one (1) will be placed in the walkway, approximately five feet (5') north of the step are,. light. Foot-candle calculations indicate compliance with the City Code requirement of a maximum of (1) foot-candle of illumination at the property line when abutting residential property. 10. Si,qna,qe - The applicant has informed city staff via a memo that there will be not added or changed signage from what currently exists. 11. Fire Department Connection - The fire department connection is located at the east addition, next to the doorway. A fire department foot access to the west side of the sanctuary expansion is shown. A fire hydrant will be placed in this area in a location yet to be determined by West Metro Fire. 12. Refuse Container/Enclosure - Staff is unaware of any changes to the trash enclosure. Planninq Considerations The Planner's comments have been incorporated into this report. Buildin.q Considerations The Building Official reviewed the plans and is in agreement with the comments in this report. He is requesting that the applicant provide material/color samples for metal siding and precast concrete panels. Leqal Considerations The City Attorney will prepare a Development Agreement for the project and insure that appropriate documents are recorded. En.qineerin.q Considerations 5/28/03 - The church has submitted revised site plans for a building expansion. The following comments relate to the submitted information and the future improvements. Utility Plan · The site plan includes a water quality pond south of the church. This pond has been sized based on the needs of the church property. Drainage calculations have been submitted to document sizing requirements. We will review the calculations. It is recommended that the City work with the submitted plan and expand the ponding area in accordance with the City's Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP). The expanded pond would still include the capacity required by the church, but also capacity for the future single family residential in the southwest portion of the property. The remaining capacity would be dedicated as part of requirements cited in the SWMP. The City is currently working with Bassett Creek Watershed to optimize this pond construction. The City is preparing sketch plans of the proposed regional pond based on the submitted survey, original pond design, and regional needs. The City as part of a larger project will likely construct the ultimate storm sewer and pond system. In this scenario, the applicant would contribute a fee toward the construction, equivalent to cost to construct the site pond shown on the plans. This cost will be estimated in coordination with the applicant's engineer. We request that the applicant submit an electronic copy of the submitted survey and site plan as part of this analysis. Planning Case Report 02-12 & 03-04 Page 12 5/30103 · The water main configuration has been revised as requested. The water main will be constructed to facilitate a hydrant south of the building and a future loop to the future residential lots on the west side of the property. This line will serve future residential properties. On this basis, it is recommended that the line through the church property be public to assure long-term maintenance and operation. Therefore, it may not be advisable to route this loop close to the building through the "middle" of the property as shown. If this occurs, a public easement will be required over the line and future maintenance/construction could disturb areas close to the building, which is not desirable for the church or the City. The water main could potentially be relocated to the south property line as a City water main, with the church building/hydrant service stubbed off of that line. It would be advised that the applicant review options with Public Works and engineering to define a mutually acceptable route and to define the City's participation in the construction of this public line. The City could potentially complete the construction of some public water main with ~' construction of the regional pond. · The water service to the building will be redone. Shut off valves must be provided for the domestic and fire services on the exterior of the building. A. Police Considerations The Police Department was included in the review of these plans. B. Fire Considerations West Metro Fire District was included in the review of the plans and provided the following comments: · Fire Department connection shall be in accessible location fire apparatus, and PIV shall be located in the same area. · A fire hydrant shall be installed to supply FD connection in or around area of fire department connection. Ideal location would be in the closest island in parking area. · A Fire Department lock box will be required. (information provided by West Metro) · For both of the above, locations could either be on southeast corner or the front side of building. VIII. Summary Staff is supportive of the church expansion and subdivision and feels they have addressed almost all issues raised by staff. IX. Recommendation Based upon the review of Zoning Ordinance requirements, staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit allowing expansion of a church use in the R-1 District, shared parking, and preliminary plat, subject to the following conditions: 1. Enter into Development Agreement with City and provide bond for site improvements (amount to be determined by City Engineer and Building Official). 2. Comply with City Engineer recommendations on plat and plans. 3. Comply with City Attorney plat recommendations. 4. Approval by Building Official. 5. Approval by West Metro Fire District. Planning Case Report 02-12 & 03-04 Page 13 5/30/03 o Attachments: Preliminary plat is to be revised to show a five-foot utility easement along the southern lot line a,~-- well as a utility easement over the looped water main to the south of the building. Submittal of a signed joint parking agreement between both the church and Sonnesyn Elementary School. Submittal of a tree preservation plan including a listing of the number, type, and dimensions of replacement trees. Planning Commission waive review of final plat.

Its plan has yen., flexible, open spaces on two floors that accommodate worship, 'f~'llowship, and education activities. The floors, beanng walls and rigid frame beams are cast in place concrete. The large overhanging roof beams and intermediate purlins are {:lue-lam members supporting a cementicious fiber roof decking. Non-beating wood paneled stud walls infill between the concrete supports. The Parish Center currently holds four worship services (Saturday evening, Sunday morning and Sunday evening) for its 1800 families in the High Hall. The average attendance ranges between 350-650 people per service. The High Hall has always been a temporary place for worship. The original plans indicated a future sanctuary to the west of the High Hall in the location of this proposal. Two additional services are held in a remote chapel several miles from the property. The staffhas regular hours Monday through Friday 8:30 - 4:30. The nursery provides child care during services and scheduled events, but does not perform regular daycare services. The ministry and education programs generally occur during weekday evenings and weekends. There is currently no plan to provide weekday parochial education to youths. The houses on the comer of 36m and Boone host many of the Youth activities and store office records and files. Purpose for the Proposal The need for the project began with providing adequate space for youth activities. The house is in need of repair and it does not accommodate large active functions. Several times a year the High Hall becomes a volleyball court or a dining hall only to convert back to a place of worship by Saturday evening. A dedicated worship space will provide the church with a true sanctuary to practice and honor their faith and allow more flexibility for fellowship and recreational activities to occur in the High Hall. The proposal provides a permanent home for the youth program in the south end of the High Hall. Scope A dedicated sanctuary designed to comfortably accommodate 950 people will be added adjacent to the current High Hall. Existing space will be remodeled to add accessible restrooms. Minor remodeling will occur to accommodate the youth program into the current building. An elevator will be added near the existing stair to provide accessibility between floors. The existing bridge and stair at the east entrance will be removed and replaced with an enclosed stair and vestibule. As a result of the addition, a fire sprinkler system will be added through out the entire building. A storm water retention pond will be provided to comply with the Cities Water Management Plan. The estimated construction cost is approximately 4 million dollars. 5/21/2003 The Parish Commumtv of St. Joseph Additions and Remodeling 8701 36~h Avenue North New Hope, 5finnesota Design Description The sanctuary is planned to comfortably seat 950 people in pews and chairs. While this is an increase in capacity of 200 people the demographics of New Hope suggests that the church will not increase significantly in numbers. The church feels confident that this design will support their average worship attendance many years into the future. The addition will not remove any of the exisrmg 267 parking spaces on the property. A signed agreement with Sonnesyn Elementary School will increase St. Joseph's off street par-king capacity to 373 spaces. The addition will compliment and enhance the existing building with materials and form. The addition will have a concrete base to match the existing Parish Center. In place of wood paneling, the new structures will have an architectural metal (copper or apowder coat painted bronge) panel with vertical joints to simulate the neighboring wood battens. The new cross will be supported by a stone wall that mimics the roof of the High Hall as it continues across the sanctuary. Using stone only in this location helps identify the sanctuary from the outside while creating a focal point behind the altar platform from within. Similar to the existing building, the roof is relatively flat and unnoticeable. In plan, the exterior walls of the addition continue the curve of the existing building at the south and rotate to the north with the altar at its center, turning the walls back on themselves and creating an end cap to the existing building. The curving walls wiLl be near in height to the main walls of the Parish Center. The flat walls will rise slightly above to compare more to the roof of the High Hall. The stone wall will peak near the cross at approximately 33' and slope down as low as 29' above grade. Code The additions and modifications are designed under the current IBC 2000 code and the Minnesota 2002 code. The additions are concrete, masonry and steel framed structures designed to Tope II-B requirements. The existing building is interpreted as a Tope III-B construction. Fire sprinklers will be provided in the additions and through out the existing building. Accessibility will be improved with the addition of an elevator and new restrooms. All rooftop equ~)ment mill be painted to match building color. Signage will not be added or changed on the property. Small trees (2"-4" diameter) mill be relocated. Some oversto~y trees between the addition and the west property line mill be replaced with oversto~y trees of equal or approved quah~ to provide a continuous canopy when trees reach maturity. 5/21/2003 2 tlOTE~ I.)

The subject site is located southwest of the Boone Avenue and 36th Avenue intersection. The proposed sanctuary addition will comfortably accommodate 950 people. A Conditional Use Permit is needed in order to expand a church use in the R-1 District. The site is currently a metes and bounds description and is required by ordinance to be platted. Attached for Reference: Exhibit A: Exhibit B: Exhibit C: Exhibit D: Exhibit E: Exhibit F: Exhibit G: Exhibit H: Location Map Preliminary Plat Site Plan Grading and Utility Plan Extedor Elevation Plan Landscape Plan Photometric Plan (west patio area) Photometric Plan B (east entrance addition) ISSUE ANALYSIS _. Land Use. The subject site is zoned R-l, Single Family Residential District, of which religious buildings are allowed as conditional uses. The site is surrounded by Iow density single family residential uses to the north east and west and the Sonnesyn Elementary School to the south. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for Public & Semipublic Use. Preliminary Plat. Section 13 of the New Hope City Code requires that metes and bounds descriptions be platted. The proposed Preliminary Plat consists of Lot 1, Block 1, which is an 8.9 acre parcel containing the existing and proposed church addition, a 2.42 acre Outlot A which is planned to eventually be developed into residential lots, and 1.3 acres of right-of-way. The preliminary plat should be revised to show a five foot easement along the southern lot line as shown on the revised architectural site plan. Performance Standards. As previously stated, the site is zoned R-1 and the proposed use is allowed as a Conditional Use, subject to the following standards; Description Standard Proposed Minimum Lot Width: 75 feet 566 feet Compliant Building Height 2 % stories or 32 feet 35 feet Compliant Setback Principal Structure Proposed Description Front Yard: 30 feet 326 feet Compliant Side Yard: 20 feet 40 feet Compliant Rear Yard: 25 feet ~ 160 feet Compliant As seen from the above table, the proposed plat and addition meet the performance standards for a subdivision within the R-1 district. As previously stated, outlot A is planned for future residential development and will be accessed via a cul-de-sac extension off of 38th avenue from the west. The architectural site plan shows a 40 foot right-of-way along both 36 Avenue and Boone Avenue as well as the needed 5 foot drainage and utility easement along the south lot line, consistent with City standards. The Preliminary Plat should be revised to show this as well. Access / Circulation. The site has four access points, one to the north off of 36th Avenue, two to the east of the Boone Avenue and one to the south which is a shared access off of Boone Avenue with the Elementary School. All accesses will remain as is, with the exception of the north access off of 36~ Avenue, of which the curb cut is being proposed to shift to the west and expand to 36 feet in width. The expansion of this access was approved as part of the 36"~ Avenue improvement project. Upon first review of Proposed addition, Planning staff had concerns regarding the ability to adequately access and protect the southwest portion of the site from fire. The applicant has since revised the plans to show a fire department foot access location around the west side of the proposed sanctuary addition and the location of a fire hydrant along the south side of the existing building. The City's Fire Chief should make comment as to any concerns in regards to fire protection. Parking. The Zoning Ordinance requires at least one parking stall for each three seats based on the design capacity of the main assembly hall. The proposed sanctuary will seat a capacity of 950 people. As such, 316 parking stalls are to be provided on site. The site currently consists of 256 parking stalls and the applicant is proposing a joint parking agreement between the church and Sonnesyn Elementary School to the south, adding an additional 106 joint parking stalls, exceeding the amount of needed parking. Planning Staff is generally comfortable with this arrangement, provided there is a signed agreement, as there shouldn't be any substantial conflicts between the uses principal operating hours. Landscape Plan. A landscape plan was submitted and reviewed by Planning Staff. Staff expressed concern with the site grading extending into an existing tree line along the west property line, which currently provides a buffer between the church and the Kimball addition to the west. The applicant has revised the original landscape plan to show a symbol representing the replacement of existing trees. The grading plan shows a silt fence apron separating the graded area and protecting the remaining trees. A list of the number, type, and dimension of replacement trees should be submitted for staff review. Utility Plan. As requested by City Staff, the utility plans show a looping of the water main from Boone Avenue to 35th Avenue to accommodate the future subdivision of the proposed outlot. The water main extends into the site, providing a fire hydrant for the southwest portion of the church structure. The existing sanitary sewer connection will remain as is. The utility plan is subject to the City Engineers review and comment. Grading Plan. Engineer. The grading plan is subject to review and approval of the City Storm Water. A large retention pond is located at the southwest portion of the site, east of the proposed outlot. The applicant should respond as to whether this pond is being constructed to maintain the future residential development to the west. The City Engineer has also requested that the applicant provide site survey and grading plans to the engineer in digital format, allowing the engineer to analyze the regional ponding and/or storm sewer that may be needed on the site. Building. Both the entrance addition and proposed sanctuary will match the existing structure in building matedal and architectural style. Signage. The applicant has informed City Staff via a memo that there will be no added or changed signage from what currently exists. Lighting. The applicant has provide photometric plans showing the exterior lighting for both the east entrance addition area and the west patio area. The photometric plans, (Exhibits F and G), appear to provide adequate light around both entrances.

The following comments relate to the submitted information and the future improvements. Preliminary Plat 1. Refer to previous comments issued on May 14*. 2. Previous comments referenced the need for a water main extension through the property to facilitate a fire hydrant south of the church and a looped connection to the future residential subdivision. The applicant has revised the plans to include this water main loop. Further review of this loop with Public Works has raised concerns regarding ownership and maintenance of this water main loop. The loop will serve future residents; therefore, the loop must be protected by drainage and utility easement. The need for this casement may impact the plat. Please refer to following comments regarding the water main loop. The site plan includes a water quality pond south of the church. This pond has been sized based on the needs of the church property. Drainage calculations have been submitted to document sizing requirements. We will review the calculations. It is recommended that the City work with the submitted plan and expand the ponding area in accordance with the City's Surface Water Management Plan (SWIVIP). The expanded pofid would still include the capacity required by the church, but also capacity for the future single family residential in the southwest rtion of property.

The City is preparing sketch plans of the proposed regional pond based on the submitted survey, original pond design, and regional needs. The City as part-of a larger project will likely construct the ultimate storm sewer and pond system. In this scenario, the applicant would contribute a fee toward the construction, equivalent to cost to construct the site pond shown on the plans. This cost will be estimated in coordination with the applicant's engineer. We request that the applicant submit an electronic copy of the submitted survey and site plan as part of this analysis. The water main configuration has been revised as requested. Thc water main will be constructed to facilitate a hydrant south of the building and a future loop to the future residential lots on the west side of the property. This line will serve future residential properties. On this basis, it is recommended that the line through the church property be public to assure long-term maintenance and operation. Therefore, it may not be advisable to route this loop close to the building through the "middle' of the property as shown. If this occurs, a public easement will be required over the line and future maintenance/construction could disturb areas close to the building, which is not desirable for the Church or the City. The water main could potentially be relocated to the south property line as a City water main, with the Church building/hydrant service stubbed off of that line. It would be advised that the applicant review options with Public Works and engineering to define a mutually acceptable route and to define the City's participation in the construction of this Public line. The City could potentially complete the construction of some public water main with construction of the regional pond. 6. The water service to the building will be redone. Shut off valves must be provided for the domestic and fire services on the exterior of the building. End of comments 2335 West Highway 36.

Several meetings have occmred prior to this submittal. These meetings have helped coordinate furore public and private improvements. The following comments relate to thc submitted information and the future improvements. Preliminary Plat Overall, thc plat is consistent with past discussions. Specific comments are as follows: 40-foot half ROW is shown along 36~ Avenue as is required. 40-foot half ROW already exists along Boone Avenue and is reflected on the plat. Drainage and Utility easement is provided over thc "ravine" area along thc west side of thc property. This will protect the existing natural drainage route and enable the City to construct a storm sewer in thc ravine to eUminate current erosion issues. Thc City must review the casement particularly in thc area of thc building expansion to ensure the storm sewer can be constructed in a desirable location. It is recommended that a 5-foot (min.) drainage and utility easement be platted along the south property line as is typical. The Public storm sewer in this area is shown to be south of the property line on the Sonnesyn Property. o The southwest portion of thc property is shown as an outlot. It is ant/cipated that this outlot will be sold to a developer and replatted in the future as single family residential. 5. The site plan includes a water quality pond south of the church. Storm sewer from the north parking lot and a rip rap spillway from the south parking lot will direct site 2335 West Highway 36 · St. Paul, MN 55113 · 651-636-4600 · Fax: 651-636-1311 '' :'- ;',,' !.!i. :. : · · ma~ l~ ~003 3:5?PM BO~ESTRO0 ROSEHE ~HDERLIK SS1~3~13il runoff to this pond. Drainage calculations have been submitted to document sizing requirements. We will review the calculations. It is recommended that the City work with the submitted plan and expand the ponding area in accordance with the City's Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP). The expanded pond would still include the capacity required by the church, but also capacity for the future single family residential in the southwest portion of the property. The remaimng capacity would be dedicated as part of requirements cited in the SWMP. It is recommended that thc City p,_repare sketch plans of the proposed regional pond based on the submitted survey and original pond design. The City request an electronic copy of the submitted survey and site plan. A wet tap connection is shown for the water.main connection in Boone Avenue. Public Works will require the water main to be shut down and a typical "cut-in" connection provided. Thc wet tap will not be allowed. Coordinate with Public Works at the time of connection. Also, the 6-inch connection will need to be "pushed" orjacked under Boone Avenue. A similar connection was recently completed in the same area as part of the Sonnesyn School improvements. An open-cut installation across Boone Avenue was not allowed. 8. In r~mvious meetings, we had discussed the notential of 1oo ih _ pin the 35 Avenue on the west side of taxis property, through the proposed water main from residential property, through the Church property, and connecting to Boone Avenue. This loop would provide opportunity for locating hydrants behind thc Church, but more importantly, it would provide improved water service to thc future residential property. Hydrant needs and locations should be reviewed with West Metro Fire. 9. It appears the domestic service to the building will be redone. The location and configuration of the domest/c service should be defined. Shut off valves must be provided for the domestic and fire services on the exterior of the building.

Property Specifications Zoning: Location: Adjacent Land Uses: Site Area: Building Area: Lot Area Ratios: Planning District: Specific Information: I, Industrial District Administration - Conditional Use Permit Administration- Site Plan Review Animal Kennels and Day Care Permitted Uses/Veterinary Clinics I, Industrial On the north side of 49th Avenue approximately 700 feet east of Highway 169 Industrial to the north, east and west of the site and R-1 single family residential to the south across 49th Avenue 81,000 +- or 1.86 acres Proposed building 7,480 square feet Building Area: 7,840 square feet 9.7% Green Area: 53,833 square feet 24.3% Paved Area: 19,687 square feet 24.3% No. 3; The Comprehensive Plan states that the primary goal in this Planning District is the preservation and enhancement of its industrial land uses, .specifically promoting industrial infill development of the remaining vacant th parcels on 49 Avenue and Bass Lake Road. On April 24, 2003, the City Council conducted a public hearing regarding the sale of a portion of the city-owned property at 9200 49th Avenue to Plymouth Heights Pet Hospital. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Council approved a resolution, approving a purchase agreement with Plymouth Planning Case Report 03-06 Page 1 5/30/03 Heights Pet Hospital for the sale of the subject property. The property owner A was desirous to construct a pet hospital on the site, as presented in this planning report. The closing on the property is anticipated to take place on July 31 or before. At the February 10 EDA meeting, the EDA considered three proposals for this site and indicated an interest in two of the proposals. The EDA indicated an interest in the Plymouth Heights Pet Hospital and Amcon office condominium proposals. Subsequent to that meeting, representatives from Plymouth heights Pet Hospital have met with staff and submitted a more detailed proposal. While staff communicated with Amcon, that proposal did not proceed. In June 2002, the EDA directed staff to coordinate the relocation of Ahrens Trucking to this site to accommodate the Navarre expansion. At the August 12 Council meeting, the Council approved a conditional use permit/site plan for Ahrens Trucking to relocate to this site but this project did not proceed. Over the past several years, the Council has discussed several potential developments for this site, but until now a development proposal has not moved forward due in part to the poor soil conditions on the property. Soil correction is a component of this project and was taken into account in the purchase agreement. In 1997, the City of New Hope purchased this vacant 2.8 acre industrial site because a portion of the property was identified in the New Hope Surface Water Management Plan as a future site for a water quality pond to help improve the water quality of the large wetland north of, and adjacent to, the site. The City acquired the property to have control over the future development of the site and has been interested in a potential joint- cooperative development where a development could occur in conjunction with the installation of a water quality pond. After extensive review and subsequent recommendation for approval by the Codes and Standards Committee and Planning Commission with input from the petitioner, on May 27, 2003, the Council approved Ordinance No. 03-02, an Ordinance Establishing Commercial Animal Kennels and Animal Day Care Facilities as Conditional Uses in the Industrial Zoning District, and Ordinance No. 03-06, an Ordinance Amending Chapter 7 of the New Hope City Code Licensing Dog Kennels and Cat Shelters. The ordinances were in response to the interim ordinance establishing a moratorium on said facilities approved by the Council on October 14, 2002. IV. Background Plymouth Heights Pet Hospital has submitted a proposal to build a new veterinary clinic and animal kennel within New Hope along 49th Ave N. Requirements for the submittal include a site plan review and conditional use permit approval. The animal kennel is allowed by conditional use permit within the I, Industrial District. The applicant has submitted a cover letter referencing the history of their business, as well as revised development plans based on comments from the Development Review Meeting of May 14th and the Design Review Committee meeting of May 15th. The proposed site is approximately 88,000 sq. ft. and would have a 7,480 square foot building. A future City facilitated storm water pond would be located behind the proposed development. The following approvals are necessary for this project to proceed: Planning Case Report 03-06 Page 2 5/30/03 1. Site Plan Approval. 2. CUP to allow for animal kennel within the Industrial District. Petitioner's Comments The petitioner submitted correspondence stating, in part, that he and Dr. Corson purchased Plymouth Heights Pet Hospital (PHPH), including the practice, land and building, from Dr. Hokkanen in 1980. In 1990, Dr. Corson sold his portion of the clinic to Dr. Fleming, who has been the sole owner since that time. Correspondence also stated "In 1995, PHPH applied for American Animal Hospital Association hospital certification. AAHA is a national veterinary organization which sets "Standards of Excellence" that clinics must pass to become certified. In fact less than 4% of all Minnesota veterinary clinics can pass these standards. All of our staff members worked very hard in all areas of the practice in order to pass the required testing and inspection. We were rewarded for our hard work with certification by AAHA in the summer of 1996. The process took us to a higher level of veterinary care and provided us with a strong sense of pride, accomplishment and teamwork. Our clinic and boarding kennel is very successful by veterinary standards without any marketing other than the yellow pages. We have over 6,000 active patients (including over 700 New Hope families). In fact, we have had a hard time limiting our growth, a problem which has led to seeking new facilities. We attribute our success to excellent medical and surgical skills combined with a clinic that emphasizes compassion and customer service instead of product sales. We have three full-time and two part-time doctors and a total staff of close to 25. Dr. Pierce Fleming has been active in assisting and promoting the veterinary college, the Minnesota Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA) and veterinary medicine in general. He has served on the boards of the Animal Care Foundation, Affiliated Vet Emergency Service as well as his church board. He has also served on numerous committees for the U of M Veterinary Teaching Hospital including Dean's Advisory Council and the VTH Hospital Director Search committee. He is a past president of the MVMA and served on its Executive Board for four years. He has been married for 30 years and lives in Golden Valley with his wife, two children, and two cats and one dog." Correspondence submitted on May 23 stated, "Controlled drugs will be kept in two different double lock safes. The larger of the two will be in a hidden area and will contain most of the stock controlled drugs. A smaller safe will be in the treatment area stocking only what is needed for short periods of time, usually only one bottle of a particular drug. Logs will be kept for each safe noting drugs, volume or counts removed and the initials of those dispensing the drugs. Keys to the safes will be locked and available to a limited number of staff. No chemicals of a controlled nature are kept on premises. After hours security will include motion detectors and be monitored by a 24-hour security service. This service will also monitor smoke and heat detectors." Office hours will be: Monday-Friday: 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday: 8 a.m. to noon Sunday: 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. for boarder discharge only Current staffing needs: Doctors: 3 full time, 2 part time .Managers (3): Financial, office, and kennel, all full time Technicians: 4 full time, 4 part time Receptionists: 2 full time Veterinary assistants: 4 full time, 2 part time Kennel assistants: 6 part time Probable changes with new clinic: Additional 1 to 2 veterinary technicians or assistants Planning Case Report 03-06 Page 3 5/30/03 Decrease kennel staff by 3 to 4 VI. Notification Property owners within 350 feet of the property were notified and staff has received no comments. VII. Code Analysis A. Zonin,q/Site & Buildinq Plan Review Code Criteri~ The purpose of the site plan review is to insure that the purposes of this Code are adhered to, it is hereby determined that a comprehensive review of site, building and development plans shall be made by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Council pdor to the issuance of any building permits by the Building Official pursuant to the procedure established by this section. In making recommendations and decisions upon site and building plan review applications, the staff, Planning Commission and City Council shall consider the compliance of such plans with the following standards: 1. Consistency with the various elements and objectives of the City's long range plans, including but not limited to the Comprehensive Plan. 2. Consistency with the purposes of this Code. 3.

The site plan provides for future curbing along the eastern drive area after future City work is completed. The portion of the access drive located within the permanent City easement shall be a green driveway design constructed by the City for access to the drainage pond during regional pond construction. C. The site plan identifies a 20 foot temporary access easement to the City along the eastern side of the property. Refuse Container - The trash container will be stored in the in the trash enclosure and wheeled out for trash collection. The site plan shows the trash enclosure on the north side of the northwest parking lot. The trash enclosure will be ninety-six square feet (96 sq. ft.). The plan indicates that the trash enclosure will be a six-foot (6') high screen wall with lap siding similar to the building. A recycled plastic cap will be placed on top of the enclosure wall. The gate will be chain link with slats. A twenty- five foot (25') concrete pad will be installed in front of the dumpster that will allow it to be wheeled out for pick-up and for a turnaround area for vehicles. Fire Department Connection - The fire department connection will be located on the west side of the building, appro, ximately seventy feet (70') from the southwest corner of the building. Building Review - The building elevations suggest a building with a residential appearance. Lap siding is proposed around the entire building. Masonry veneer is located along the building base. The boarding area at the northern portion of the building is constructed of rock faced concrete masonry. The rooftop suggests asphalt shingles. The building should include a sprinkling system. The pharmacy area is not set within an enclosed room within the building. A description Planning Case Report 03-06 Page 8 5/30/03 of the security measures for the pharmacy have been submitted per staff request. Please see the following description: The total area of the building is 7840 Square feet. The building sits at an irregular angle on the lot facing southeast. The building is an estimated one hundred and twenty feet x sixty feet (120' x 60') and is one (1) story tall. The building is twenty-one and one-half feet (21 ¼') tall. Building materials will be consistent around the structure. The main entryway of the building at the north entrance will have a masonry veneer at the bottom three feet (3') of the building. James Hardie painted lap siding will then be placed from the masonry veneer to the roof line. A two-foot (2') band of James Hardie painted vertical siding will be placed above the main entry door extending forty-four feet (44') to the west. A trim board will be placed between the horizontal lap siding and the vertical siding band. Three (3) doors and four (4) windows will be installed on this elevation. Two (2) areas along the south elevation have been designated for wall/entry signs. One (1) is located directly west of the front entry and one (1) at the western end of the building. The west elevation also provides for three feet (3') of masonry veneer at the lower portion of the building. Lap siding will be placed from the veneer to the roof line and the two-foot (2') vertical siding band is consistent with the south elevation. The first ten feet (10') of the southern portion of the east elevation will be treated with the masonry veneer up to the point of the vertical siding. Masonry veneer will also be placed at the lower three feet (3') of the building extending thirty-three feet (33') from the northernmost door to the northeast corner of the building. The remainder of the east elevation will be lap siding. Three (3) exit doors and five (5) windows will be placed along this elevation. The boarding area at the rear of the building will include rock faced concrete masonry five feet (5') from the base of the building and lap siding will be placed from the masonry line to the roof line. Five (5) windows will be placed at the north elevation above the masonry block. A future translucent roof and structure is shown on the north end of the building. Also, four (4) HVAC units, painted to match the siding, will be placed along the east elevation. Pre-finished metal gutters, fascia and soffits will be placed around the perimeter of the building. Asphalt shingles will cover the roof. After revised plans were submitted, the applicant changed the kennel area. Sheets A1.1, A1.2 and the site/grading plan should be revised to reflect this change.

Planning Case Report 03-06 Sod will be placed on a nine-foot (9') strip along both sides of the entryway, on the edge of each front parking lot and along 49th Avenue North. Prairie Grass Seed will be placed on all disturbed areas not receiving sod. The plan indicates that all sod and planting beds will be irrigated. Soaker type irrigation will be used at the planting beds. Several trees will remain undisturbed on the site. The majority of the undisturbed site is on the southeast portion of the property. The plan indicates the tree protection lines. Thirty-one (32) trees with calipers ranging from six to thirty-four inches (6" to 34") are proposed to be retained. The proposed water main has been relocated to preserve as many trees as possible. If existing trees within southwest corner are to remain: · Precautions are to be made such as snowfence installed at root zones; · No storage is to occur in the area, this would include fill and vehicles; · If trees are damaged, proper care should occur including limb painting. The following new landscaping is proposed for the site: Two (2) Ginko Trees will be placed along the eastern portion of the lot, across the parking lot from the entry of the building. Two (2) Maple Ruburn Northwood will be placed on the site, one (1) will be placed along the east property line, immediately south of the access from the parking lot to the maintenance easement, one (1) on the northeast planting island of the northeast portion of the site and one (1) will be placed at the northwest corner of the building. One (1) Scotch Pine will be placed north of the east parking lot, along the northern property line, between the proposed regional pond and the building. Twenty-two (22) Japanese Yew shrubs will be planted along the northeast side of the building. Two (2) Pee Gee Hydranga and fourteen (14) Daylily-Happy Returns will be planted at the southeast corner of the building. Planting islands will be placed at both the southeast and southwest corners of the building. As mentioned previously, one (1) Maple Ruburn Northwood will be placed on the southeast corner/planting island. Also on the southeast corner, four (4) Spirea Goldflame and fifteen (15) Daylily-Stella D'Oro will be planted. On the southwest corner/planting island four (4) Spirea Goldflame, (15) Daylily-Happy Returns and one (1) Japanese Tree Lilac are proposed. Furthermore, six (6) Dwarf Korean Lilacs will line the front of the building. Ten (10) Dwarf Muhgo Pines will be placed on the southwest side of the building beginning at an estimated ninety feet (90') to the rear of the building proceeding to the front corner, Five (5) near the rear and five (5) toward the front. Five (5) Spirea Goldflames will be placed in between the Drawf Muhgo Pines near the center of the building. Seven (7) Black Hills Spruce will be placed along the northwest property line. The Planning Consultant report states, "With submittal of the revised grading plan, a berm is apparent for the westerly property line. Staggered Black Hills Spruce trees line the berm and will provide screening. Six foot tall Black Hills Spruce Trees will have an average diameter of 3-4 ft." The Planning Consultant is recommending that the applicant provide four (4) additional spruce trees to provide a fuller screening effect." Finally, one (1) Japanese Tree Lilac will be placed at the northwest corner of the building. Signage - The building elevation displays two wall signs, one near the primary entrance and another would be located along the western corner of the building, facing south. Two wall signs are permitted provided they do not exceed a total of 250 sq. ft. or 15% of the front building facing. These signs would total approximately 40 sq. ft. and would therefore be compliant. The site plan shows two freestanding sign locations, one is a monument sign and the other is a directional sign. The monument sign is located near the entrance along 49~h Ave. N. This sign has a masonry base, will be approximately nine feet in height and has a sign area of Page 10 5130103 approximately 50 sq. ft. The directional sign is along the internal driveway and will direct people to either the hospital or the boarding areas. Freestanding signs are required to be set back 10 feet from the nearest lot line outside any easement. With the 49th Ave street right of way expanded by 5 feet from 35 to 40 feet, staff has required that the proposed freestanding sign be set back 10 feet from the right of way line and outside the adjoining easement. The applicant has demonstrated this upon the revised site plan. 12. Lighting - Lighting fixture details have been provided. The landscaping plan offers comments that three (3) 30' pole lights shall be built around the parking lot perimeter. The pole located upon the south side will have double fixtures providing light to both the south parking area and also the driveway area. Eighteen (18) wall mounted building fixtures are proposed along the building perimeter. Please see the following summary: Eighteen (18) seventy watt (70 W) metal halide recessed soffit fixtures will be added around the perimeter of the building, three (3) on the northwest side of the building, five (5) on the south/front of the building, seven (7) on the southwest portion of the building and three (3) on the north/rear of the building. Three (3) thirty-foot (30') pole lights on two-feet six-inch (2' 6") bases with two (2) - two hundred and fifty watt (250 W), HPS/Metal Halide with backshielding will be added to the site. One (1) will be added to each parking area. As required, the lighting plan indicates foot-candle contours at the property line. The contours are not identified with foot-candle measurements. Also, the final contours (foot candle unknown) extend onto the east property. City Code requires a maximum (1) foot-candle of illumination at the property line when abutting residential property. The contours do not extend to the south property line that abuts the residentially zoned property. 13. Floor Plan - The total area of the building is 7840 Square feet. The building will include several rooms including: waiting room, reception area, records area, pharmacy, treatment area, four (4) exam rooms, consultation room, exercise room, lab, X-ray room, two accessible restrooms, break room, surgery room, office, separate feline and canine rooms and a kitchen. The boarding area will included: a boarding reception area, a separate cat area, twelve (12) luxury boarding suites and sixteen (16) standard suites. Seven (7) dog runs will be constructed directly adjacent to the north wall of the building. 14. Utilities and Drainage Plan - Verification should be made whether the proposed utility setups meet Fire Dept. standards. The two separate water lines running from the street to the building, have been modified to have one water line running up the property and then splitting at the building. Ponding for storm water runoff must be provided on site rather than on abutting properties. Further drainage and utility concerns shall be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 15. Conditional Use Permit Cdteria - The Ordinance cites that the facility's maximum size shall be 75 square feet per dog and 20 square feet per cat or any other companion animal boarded at one time, exclusive of office or storage area. Animal Kennel Data # of Animals Area - Sq. Ft. Area Required - Sq. Ft. Area Provided - Sq. Ft. 27 Dogs 75 sq. ft. 2025 sq. ft. 15 Cats 20 sq. ft. 300 sq. ft. Total 2325 sq. ft. 3150 sq. ft. (per the applicant) In order for final CUP approval to proceed, the applicant must demonstrate that all conditions relating to the animal kennel building performance standards will be completed. The submitted Planning Case Report 03-06 Page 11 5/30/03 Eo floor plan makes note that the boarding area will ventilate at 1.00 CFM/sq. ft. The provided plans _ must also address the wall and floor finishing required within the commercial animal kenne, ordinance established by the City. Planninq Considerations The Planner's comments have been incorporated into this report. Buildin,q Considerations The Building Official did not have any comment on the plans, other than those already contained in this report. Le,qal Considerations The City Attorney will prepare a Development Agreement for the project. Also, the City Attorney will prepare all documents related to the sale of this City-owned property to the petitioner. EnRineerin,q Considerations Representatives of the Plymouth Pet Hospital have submitted revised plans for the proposed clinic and kennel and site improvements. The following comments relate to the submitted information. 1. The applicant will be purchasing the southern portion of the existing lot. It is our understanding that the lot will be split administratively and the City will retain ownership of the northern portion of the lot. As the site improvements are finalized, we will provide descriptions of the north and south portions of the lot. The City will facilitate the filing of these descriptions for ownership purposes. 2. An access easement must be provided through the Pet Hospital driveway and parking lot such that the City can access the regional pond. Conceptually, both parties have agreed on the location of this access easement. We must also discuss who will prepare a description of the easement. 3. The shared access through the parking lot will be designed to a 9-ton standard. Two pavement sections are included in the submitted information. The modified pavement section includes significant soil correction. This section will be used at the entry drive in the area with the poorest soils. We will review the technical details of this design with the applicant's engineer. The limits of the modified section and the standard section will be dependent on actual soil conditions encountered in the field. 4. The City will be responsible for constructing the regional pond and an access to the pond beyond the proposed parking lot. A temporary easement has been provided, in general, along the east property line to facilitate construction access. The City will be responsible for constructing and removing the temporary access. 5. It is recommended that the City reduce the depth of the drainage and utility easement along the south property line. We have reviewed the existing easement configuration and recommend that the easement width be reduced from 20 feet wide to 15 feet wide. We further recommend that the southem 5 feet of the 15 feet be classified and street, drainage, and utility easement. The submitted plans reflect this recommendation and the property sign has been located accordingly. 6. The City will have to conduct a Public Hearing to vacate the north 5 feet of the existing easement. 7. West Metro Fire Department should review the plans and provide recommendations for hydrant locations. Planning Case Report 03-06 Page 12 5/30/03 8. The proposed improvements include a water quality pond serving the improved property. Space constraints have forced the pond onto the City's portion of the lot. We will review an alternate ponding option with the watershed. This option could include the incorporation of the applicant's pond with the City regional pond. In this concept, the applicant would pay a proportional fee toward the construction of the regional pond. We will explore the feasibility of this option. If this is not feasible, the pond will likely need to be reconfigured and drainage calculations submitted. H. Police Considerations The police department was involved in the review of these plans and its comments have been incorporated into the report. I. Fire Considerations The West Metro Fire-Rescue District was involved in the review of these plans and provided the following comments: location of fire department connection shall be noted and a fire department lock box will be required. IX. Summary Staff believes the overall site design for the property is well conceived. The City believes that the proposal provides a good opportunity to use a site that is ready for development. The development is compatible with the existing zoning, and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The building would be an attractive addition to the New Hope's Industrial base and would be within the character of the adjacent single family residential district. Based on staff's review of the Plymouth Heights Pet Hospital application, staff recommends approval of the development application, subject to the conditions listed below. X. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit and site/building review subject to the following conditions: 1. The petitioner obtain ownership of the property. 2. Comply with City Engineer recommendations, including those dated May 28, 2003. 3. Approval of plans by Building Official. 4. Approval of plans by West Metro Fire-Rescue District. 5. City Attorney review and comment on all easements and declaration documents to ensure pond maintenance access easements on the property at properly established and maintained. 6. Enter into a Development Agreement with the City and provide performance bond (amount to be determined by the City Engineer and Building Official. 7. Correct minor landscaping error and comply with City Planner's recommendation of additional landscaping (four (4) spruce trees) at the northwest portion of the property. 8. Submit revised sheets A1.1, A1.2 and the Site/Grading Plan consistent with the kennel configuration change and rear elevation change submitted on May 28, 2003.

At that time he was also the owner of Belt Line Pet Hospital which was just south of 36th Avenue on Highway 100. He had been told the county was going to expand Highway 100 and his clinic would eventually be torn down. For that reason, he built a large pet hospital and boarding facility in an area surrounded mostly by farms so he would be prepared for Belt Line's demise and ready for future growth and expansion. For eleven years he owned and staffed both pet hospitals and, after it was determined BLPH would not be torn down, he finally decided to sell Plymouth Heights Pet Hospital. In April of 1980 the practice, land and building were sold to Drs. Tom Corson and Pieme Fleming. Ultimately, BLPH was indeed torn down in the summer of 2000. Drs. Corson and Fleming were classmates in veterinary school and both graduated with the class of 1978 from the University of Minnesota. In 1990, Dr. Corson sold his portion of the clinic to Dr. Fleming and moved to Bemidji. Dr. Fleming has been the sole owner of PHPH since that time. In 1995, PHPH applied for American Animal Hospital Association hospital certification. AAHA is a national veterinary organization which sets "Standards of Excellence" that clinics must pass to become certified. In fact less than 4% of all Minnesota veterinary clinics can pass these standards. All of our staff members worked very hard in all areas of the practice in order to pass the required testing and inspection. We were rewarded for our hard work with certification by AAHA in the summer of 1996. The process took us to a higher level of veterinary care and provided us with a strong sense of pride, accomplishment and teamwork. Our clinic and boarding kennel is very successful by veterinary standards without any marketing other than the yellow pages. We have over 6000 active patients (including over 700 New Hope families). In fact, we have had a hard time limiting our growth, a problem which has led to seeking new facilities. We attribute our success to excellent medical and surgical skills combined with a clinic that emphasizes compassion and customer service instead of product sales. We have three full time and two part time doctors and total staff of close to 25. Dr. Pierce Fleming has been active in assisting and promoting the veterinary college, the Minnesota Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA) and veterinary medicine in general. He has served on the boards of the Animal Care Foundation, Affiliated Vet Emergency Service as well as his church board. He has also served on numerous committees for the UofM Veterinary Teaching Hospital including Dean's Advisory Council and the VTH Hospital Director Search committee. He is a Past President of the MVMA and served on their Executive Board for four years. He has been married for 30 years and lives in Golden Valley with his wife, Sue. They have two children, Sam and Alice, who are in college, and two cats and a dog who choose to live at home. May 19,2003 NARRATIVE REGARDING SECURITY FOR CONTROLLED DRUGS FOR PLYMOUTH HEIGHTS PET HOSPITAL Controlled drugs will be kept in two different double lock safes. The larger of the two will be in a hidden area and will contain most of the stock controlled drugs. A smaller safe will be in the treatment area stocking only what is needed for short periods of time, usually only one bottle of a particular drug. Logs will be kept for each safe noting drugs, volume or counts removed and the initials of those dispensing the drugs. Keys to the safes will be locked and available to a limited number of staff. 'No chemicals of a controlled nature are kept on premises. After hours security will include motion detectors and be monitored by a 24 hour security service. This service will also monitor smoke and heat detectors.

PLANNING REPORT TO: FROM: Kirk McDonald Aaron Jones / Alan Brixius DATE: May 29, 2003 RE: New Hope - Site Plan Review: Plymouth Heights Pet Hospital FILE NO: 131.01 - 03.06 BACKGROUND Plymouth Heights Pet Hospital has submitted a proposal to build a new veterinary clinic and animal kennel within New Hope along 49th Ave N. Requirements for the submittal include a site plan review and conditional use permit approval. The animal kennel is allowed by conditional use permit within the I, Industrial District. The applicant has submitted a cover letter referencing the history of their'business, as well as revised development plans based on comments from the Development Review Meeting of May 14th and the Design Review Committee meeting of May 15th. The proposed site is approximately 88,000 sq. ft. and would have a 7,480 square foot building. A future City facilitated stormwater pond would be located behind the proposed development. The following approvals are necessary for this project to proceed: 1. Site Plan Approval. 2. CUP to allow for animal kennel within the Industrial District. Attached for reference: Exhibit A - Site Location Exhibit B - Site Plan Exhibit C - Landscaping and Lighting Plan Exhibit D - Budding Plan and Elevations Exhibit E - Grading Plan Exhibit F -Applicant Narratives RECOMMENDATION Our office believes that the proposed development provides a good development opportunity, is compatible with existing zoning, and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. We therefore recommend approval of the site plan and CUP for animal kennel subject to the following conditions: 5. 6. 7. The ddveway shall be constructed to a nine ton design standard. The City shall be provided with a permanent easement description over the clinic driveway for City access to the drainage pond. Provide a building description demonstrating the colors to be used for construction. An additional four Black Hills Spruce trees be planted to ensure proper screening from the kennel around the northwest corner of the site. The site shall provide a stormwater pond on their site. All conditions related to the existing animal kennel ordinance are met including building construction such as wall and floor finishing within the kennel. Drainage and utility concerns shall be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. ISSUES ANALYSIS Land Use The site is zoned I, Industrial District and is approximately 88,000 sq. ft. in size. The northern 1/3 of the site is intended to be used by the City as a regional pond thus serving the community wide interest. The southern 2/3 of the site is to be used by the animal kennel and clinic. The subdivision of the site is the responsibility of the City of New Hope. Plat: Right of Way Dedication The proposed right of way along 49m Ave. measures at 35 feet with a 5 foot street easement. The 20 foot drainage and utility easement has been reduced to 15 feet including the expanded right of way. Setbacks Building: Required Proposed Compliant? Front: South Side 30 ft. 160 ft. Yes Side: East Side 10 ft. 75 ft. Yes Side: West Side 10 ft. 45 ft. Yes Rear: North Side 30 ft. 30 ft. Yes The table above lists the setbacks required for buildings within the Industrial District. The building meets all setbacks, including the rear setback, which has been adjusted to provide for the City facilitated stormwater area along the north portion of the property. All areas of the parking lot also meet the 5 foot parking setback standard. 2 Parking, Access and Snow Storage A review of the submitted proposal demonstrates that adequate parking is supplied. The following equation validates the provided parking for the site. (7,480 sq. ft. x .9 = 6,732 / 300 = 22 + 3 = 25 required). There are 29 parking stalls provided. All stalls are at least 9 or 10 feet wide by 19 feet long. Two disabled-person parking stalls are included within the plans. The primary access off of 49th Ave N. is across from Erickson Drive and is 24 feet wide. A 24 foot wide driveway access is proposed. The driveway shall be constructed to a nine ton design standard. This design standard is necessary to accommodate City access to the regional pond on the north side of the site. Snow storage areas have be~n specified upon the site plan. The grading plan menbons tip-out curb and gutter around perimeter of the parking area. Easement 1. The front yard drainage and utility easement has been reduced from 20 feet to 15 feet with approval of the increased 49th Ave right of way from 35 feet to 40 feet. 2. A permanent easement description must be provided for City access to the drainage pond along the proposed driveway extending to the northeast comer of the parking lot. The site plan provides for future curbing along the eastern drive area after future City work is completed. The portion of the access drive located within the permanent City easement shall be a green driveway design constructed by the City for access to the drainage pond during regional pond construction. The site plan identifies a 20 foot temporary access easement to the City along the eastern side of the property. Trash Enclosure A trash enclosure would be located on the .north side of the building at the end of the parking lot. A concrete pad would be constructed at the front of the enclosure. According to the site plan, the enclosure would have a 6' high screen wall with lap siding, similar to the principal building. Details have been submitted regarding the specific construction of the trash enclosure. Building Review The building elevations suggest a building with a residential appearance. Lap siding is proposed around the entire building. Masonry veneer is located along the building base. The boarding area at the western portion of the building is constructed of rock faced concrete masonry. The rooftop suggests asphalt shingles. Building colors must be specified. The building should include a sprinkling system. The pharmacy area is not set within an enclosed room within the building. A description of the security measures for the pharmacy have been submitted per staff request. Landscape and Screening · Nine foot sod strips run along the driveway and south-side parking. These strips have been extended along the 49th Ave., nine feet from the back of the curb. 3 Prairie grass seed is proposed in the southeast corner of the property with the relocation of the temporary access easement. The southwest corner of property is proposed to remain undisturbed with existing Boxelder and Cottonwood trees. The proposed water main has been relocated to preserve as many trees as possible. If existing trees within southwest corner are to remain: a) Precautions are to be made such as snowfence installed at root zones; b) No storage is to occur in the area, this would include fill and vehicles; c) if trees are damaged, proper care should occur including limb painting. Additional trees include: 1. Two 2" Gingko trees located southeast of the front parking area. 2. T, wo 3" Maple trees located around the building and, parking lot. 3. One balled and budaped Scotch Pine located east of the rear parking lot. 4. Seven 6' Black Hills Spruce, located northwest of the building will act as screening from the rear kennel area. Additional perimeter plantings include Japanese Lilac, Japanese Yew, Spirea, and Dwarf Muhgo Pine. With submittal of the revised grading plan, a berm is apparent for the westedy property line. Staggered Black Hills Spruce trees line the berm and will provide screening. Six foot tall Black Hills Spruce trees will have an average diameter of 3-4 ft. Staff recommends the addition of four Spruce trees to provide a fuller screening effect. Prairie grass seed will be located in the northwest corner area. Signs The building elevation displays two wall signs, one near the primary entrance and another would be located along the western corner of the building, facing south. Two wall signs are permitted provided they do not exceed a total of 250 sq. ft. or 15% of the front building facing. These signs would total approximately 40 sq. ft. and would therefore be compliant. The site plan suggests two freestanding sign locations, one is a monument sign and the other is a directional sign. The monument sign is located near the entrance along 49th Ave. N. This sign has a masonry base, will be approximately nine feet in height and has a sign area of approximately 50 sq. ft. The directional sign is along the intemal driveway and will direct people to either the hospital or the boarding areas. Freestanding signs are required to be set back 10 feet from the nearest lot line outside any easement. With the 49th Ave street right of way expanded by 5 feet from 35 to 40 feet, staff has required that the proposed freestanding sign be set back 10 feet from the right of way line and outside the adjoining easement. The applicant has demonstrated this upon the revised site plan. Lighting Lighting fixture details'have been provided. The landscaping plan offers comments that three (3) 30' pole lights shall be built around the parking lot perimeter. The pole located upon the south side will have double fixtures providing light to both the south parking 4 area and also the driveway area. Eighteen (18) wall mounted building fixtures are proposed along the building perimeter. Utilities and Drainage Pond Verification should be made whether the proposed utility setups meet Fire Dept. standards. The two separate water lines running from the street to the building, have been modified to have one water line running up the property and then splitting at the building. Ponding for stormwater runoff must be provided on site, rather than on abutting properties. Further drainage and utility concerns shall be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. Conditional Use Permit Criteria The ordinance cites that the facility's mihimum size shall be 75 sq. ft. per dog and 20 sq. ft.-per cat or any other companion animal boarded at any one time, exclusive of office or storage area. Animal Kennel Information # of Animals Area Factor Area Required Area Provided 27 Dogs 75 sq. ft. 2025 sq. f. 15 Cats 20 sq. ft. 300 sq. ft. Total 2325 sq. ft. 3150 (per the applicant) In order for final CUP approval to proceed, the applicant must demonstrate that all conditions related to the animal kennel building performance standards will be completed. The submitted floor plan makes note that the boarding area will ventilate at 1.00 CFM/sq. ft. The provided plans must also address the wall and floor finishing required within the commercial animal kennel ordinance established by the City. CONCLUSION Our office believes that the proposal provides a good opportunity to use a site that is ready for development. The development is compatible with existing zoning, and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. We therefore recommend approval of the site plan and CUP for animal kennel subject to the conditions found in the recommendation section of this report. pc Roger Axel, Steve Sandral, Vince Vandertopp 5 Ma~ 28 2003 9:~OAM ~OMESTRO0 ROSEME RMDE~LIK ~51~361311 p.~, Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Associates Engineers & Architects TO: Kirk McDonald Bones~'oo, Roeene, Anderllk -,nd Aseoelates, Inc. b an A~B~ Act~qual Op~n~ E~lo~r and ~1o~ Owned Schunicht, P.E. - J~A. ~u~, P.E. - Ma~ A.

The following comments relate to the submitted information. 1. The applicant will be purchasing the southern portion of the existing lot. It is our understanding that the lot will be split administratively and the City will retain ownership of the northern portion of the lot. As the site improvements are finalized,. we will provide descriptions of the north and south portions of the lot. The City Will facilitate the filing of these descriptions for ownership purposes. 2. An access easement must be provided through the Pet Hospital driveway and parking lot such that the City can access the regional pond. Conceptually, both parties have agreed on the location of this access easement. We must also discuss who will prepare a description of the easement. 3. The shared access through the parking lot will be designed to a 9-ton standard. Two pavement sections are included in the submitted information. The modified pavement section includes significant soil correction. This section will be used at the entry drive in the area with the poorest soils. We will review the technical details of this design with the applicant's engineer. The limits of the modified section and the standard section will be dependent on actual soil conditions encountered in the field. · 4. The City will be responsible for constructing the regional pond and an access to the pond beyond the proposed parking lot. A temporary easement has been provided, in general, along the east property line to facilitate construction access. The City will be responsible for constructing and removing the temporary access. 5. It is recommended that the City reduce the depth of the drainage and utility easement along the south property line. We have reviewed the existing easement configuration -.. and recommend that the easement.width be reduced from 20 feet wide to 15 feet 2335 West Highway 36 o St. Paul, MN 55113 o 651-636-4600 o Fax: 651-636-1311 Ma~ ~8 2003 ~:408M BOMESTRO0 ROSEME 8MDERLIK GS1G3Gi311 p.S wide. We further recommend that the southern 5 feet of the 15 feet be classified and street, drainage, and utility easement. The submitted plans reflect this recommendation and the property sign has been located accordingly. The City will have to conduct a Public Hearing to vacate the north 5 feet of the existing easement. West Metro Fire Department should review the plans and provide recommendations for hydrant locations. The proposed improvements include a water quality pond serving the improved property. Space constraints have forced the pond onto the City's portion of the lot. We will review an alternate ponding option.with the watershed. This option could include the incorporation of the applicant's pond with the City regional pond. In this concept, the applicant would pay a proportional fee toward the construction of the regional pond. We will explore the feasibility of this option. If this is not feasible, the pond will likely need to be reconfigured and drainage calculations submitted. End of comments 2335 West Highway 36.

The City will work with existing property owners and businesses to encourage the continued industrial use of the sites while resolving outstanding land use compatibility issues. Specific Information: The proposed plat lists a number of notes, corresponding to existing easements, proposed easements and statement of encroachments, which are described under the "plan description" section of this report. IV. Background Redwing Properties LLC (applicant) is requesting preliminary plat approval to subdivide an existing site into a lot and an outlot. The subject site is located at 8501 54th Avenue North. The site currently has a metes and bounds legal description and the City Code requires that any division of such site be platted. The preliminary plat of the site includes one lot (Lot 1, Block 1 Thompson New Hope Addition) on which there is an existing office/warehouse building and one outlot (Outlot A) which is currently not improved but will provide access and drainage easements for Lot 1, Block 1 Thompson New Hope Addition (Lot 1). There are no additional improvements proposed to the site except implementation of proof of parking. V. Petitioner's Comments On the planning application, the applicant states, "the fee owner is requesting development of the vacant land on the east side of the existing building. The fee owner asks for the requests to be granted to facilitate the th sale of the existing building at 8501 54 Avenue. The party expressing the most interest does not need the excess land." The petitioner submitted a narrative stating, "On behalf of my client David Thompson of Redwing Foods, I am pleased to submit this narrative with the enclosed application to plat an outlot on the above captioned property. Mr. Thompson as the fee owner of the property has decided to either lease the entire facility or sell it. Most of the parties interested in Mr. Thompson's property prefer to buy the property. However, none of the parties have any interest or need in the approximately three acres of expansion land to the east of the existing building. Therefore, in order not to inhibit the sale of the property because of price or increase the tax burden because of the excess land value, we are proposing an outlot. This will allow the excess land to be conveyed to some other interested party for future development. Furthermore, Mr. Thompson wants to convey interest in both the building and land in an expeditious manner. Because we do not have any party currently offering to buy the vacant land it is most prudent to simply plat the site as an outlot and allow the buyer to replat the site for their specific use. In platting the site as an outlot, we intend to provide a perpetual easement agreement with the east and west ingress and egress to the site. We see this as a simple uncomplicated process therefore we expect the Planning Commission's full support with final approval from the City Council by the end of June." VI, Notification Property owners within 350 feet of the property were notified and staff has received no comments. VIII. Development Analysis A. Zoninq Code Criteria Planning Case Report 03-07 Page 2 5/30/03 Subdivision and Platting The purpose of this chapter is to make certain regulations and requirements for the subdivision and platting of land within the City of New Hope pursuant to the authority contained in Minnesota Statutes 462.358, which regulations the City Council deems necessary for the health, safety and general welfare of this community. It is also the purpose of this chapter to safeguard the best interests of the City of New Hope and to assist the subdivider in harmonizing his interests with those of the City at large. The site is currently zoned I (Industrial). Office and warehouse uses are permitted used within the Industrial District. Section 13 of the New Hope City Code requires that division of any tract of land with a metes and bounds legal description be platted. The site consists of 7.824 acres. The proposal is to divide the site into two parcels consisting of 4.04 acres (Lot 1) and 3.24 acres (Outlot A). Outlot A will not be developed at this time. A portion of the site (23,877 square feet) will be dedicated as right-of- way for 54th Avenue North. The City Code states that copies of the final plat shall be submitted to the Planning Commission for its review and recommendation, unless this requirement is waived by the Planning Commission during its review of the preliminary plat. Per the attached correspondence, the petitioner has requested waiver of the review of the final plat by the Plannin,q Commission. The Planning Commission will need to make a determination as to whether it wants to review the final plat or not. Due to the simple nature of the plat, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission waive the review of this final plat. Per routine policy, the preliminary plat was submitted to city department heads, City Attorney, City Engineer, Planning Consultant, utility companies and Hennepin County for review and comment. Comments received include the following: Plannin.q Consultant Performance Standards. The site is currently zoned I (Industrial) and is subject to the following )erformance standards: INDUSTRIAL REQUIRED PROPOSED PROPOSED DISTRICT LOT 1, BLOCK 1 OUTLOT A STANDARDS Minimum Lot One Acre 175,965.5 sq. ft. 140,984 sq. ft. Area (4.04 acres) (3.24 acres) Minimum Lot 100 feet 281.17 feet 226.84 feet Width Impervious 80% 63% Unknown Surface (20% green space) (37% green space) Coverage 74.5% including proof of parking (25.5% green space) Building Height 6 stories or 72 feet, 1-story N/A whichever is greater Planning Case Report 03-07 Page 3 5/30/03 INDUSTRIAL REQUIRED PROPOSED PROPOSED OUTLOT A DISTRICT LOT 1, BLOCK 1 SETBACKS Front 30 feet complies N/A Side 10 feet complies / N/A Rear 10 feet (abutting RR) 9.1 feetI N/A The preliminary plat is in conformity with all of the performance standards for the Industrial District except the rear yard setback. The existing building on proposed Lot 1 encroaches into the required rear yard setback of ten (10) feet and is thus non-conforming. The preliminary plat provides for right-of-way for 54th Avenue North and ten (10) foot drainage and utility easements along the property lines in accordance with City Code requirements. As the existing building located on Lot 1 encroaches into the required rear yard setback of ten (10) feet, it also encroaches into the required drainage and utility easement along the rear property line. City En.qineer The applicant has proposed a lot split and platting of the overall parcel. Lot 1, Block 1 will include the existing building and parking lot and the balance of the property will be platted as an outlot. The following comments are provided for your consideration: 1. The drainage from this parcel is directed to the southwest corner of the property. A storm sewer near the north end of the building captures some runoff, routes the storm water below the building, and discharges to a Iow area on the neighboring property (Waymouth Foods). The remaining runoff naturally flows to the south property line and the RR property. This drainage then continues west to the same Iow point at Waymouth Foods. The outlet for this Iow point is a private storm sewer. This application does not include any site improvements; therefore, storm water improvements do not need to occur at this time. However, it is important to consider future required storm water improvements such that drainage easements can be platted at this time. With future development on these parcels, it will be important to limit the rate of runoff from this parcel to the Waymouth property Iow point. A future pond will be required to limit the runoff rate. The pond will also be required for water quality treatment. Lot 1 will have limited space to accommodate such a pond. An easement area is shown in the southern portion of Outlot A for a pond which would benefit both parcels. 2. The second parcel will be platted as an Outlot; therefore, sewer and water services do not need to be installed at this time. The service would be added in the future with replatting. 3. A driveway exists on the outlot for the benefit of Lot 1. A shared ingress/egress easement is provided allowing the drive to remain. 4. Easements are shown on the plat as proposed. They should be labeled as easements and recorded with the plat at this time. If Hennepin County does not allow certain easements to be shown on the plat-such the ingress/egress easement, separate documents must be prepared to record such easements. City Attomey "1 have reviewed the preliminary plat of Thompson New Hope Addition, dated May 8, 2003, and signed by Thomas E. Hordorf (hereinafter "Plat"). I have reviewed the Plat for compliance with the City's Planning Case Report 03-07 Page 4 5/30/03 plating ordinance found at New Hope Code (Hereinafter "Code") Section 13-4(a). I have noted the following comments and exceptions: CODE RELATED COMMENTS AND EXCEPTIONS: 1. Comment: Proposed name. The proposed name of the subdivision is Thompson New Hope Addition. It is the understanding of the City Attorney's Office that Hennepin County will verify that the proposed name does not "duplicate or closely resemble" the name of any other existing subdivision within Hennepin County. See Code §13-4(1 )(a). 2. Comment: Names and addresses. The names and addresses of the owner and surveyor appear on the plat. It is the understanding of the City Attorney's office that neither a developer nor designer are involved with this plat and therefore the absence of those names and addresses is acceptable. See Code §13-4(1 )(c). 3. Comment: Scale. The Code requires a scale of "not less than one inch to 100 feet." This plat provides a scale of one inch to 50 feet (two inches to 100 feet) and therefore meets this requirement. See Code §13-4(a)(1 )(d). 4. Exception: Previous platted streets, other details. The plat does not appear to contain the location, width and names of all existing or previously platted streets or other public ways, parks and other public open spaces, permanent buildings and structures, and easements within 350 feet beyond the tract. See Code §13-4(a)(2)(d). 5. Exception: Sewer, water main and other details. The plat does not show the location and size of existing sewers, water mains, culverts or other underground facilities within the tract and to a distance of 350 feet beyond the tract. See Code §13-4(a)(2)(e). 6. Exception: Adjoining land. The plat does not show the boundary lines of adjoining land within 350 feet. Such adjoining land is to be identified by name and ownership. See Code §13-4(a)(2)(f). 7. Comment: Proposed zoning changes. It is the understanding of the City Attorney's office that no proposed zoning changes are contemplated in connection with the plat. See Code §13-4(a)(4)(c). OTHER COMMENTS AND EXCEPTIONS: 1. Comment: Evidence of Title. Evidence of title to the property must be submitted to the City Attorney's office prior to final plat approval. All owners will need to sign the final plat as well as any mortgagee relating to the property. 2. Comment: Legal Description. City Attorney's office has reviewed the legal description contained on the plat and has noted no exceptions to it at this time. There were no responses from utility companies on the plat. Development Review Team The Development Review Team discussed the preliminary plat on May 14 and was supportive of the application. Comments included: providing an easement for the driveway on the outlot to Lot 1 or show that Lot 1 can survive without the east driveway and provide proper truck circulation, ADA parking on Lot 1, demonstrate Outlot A would be buildable with the required easement dedication and provide lot area, green space and building coverage, location of pond, ownership of rail spur, signage, stripe parking lot, submit plans to Shingle Creek Watershed, provide detail on storm water drainage/calculations, and detail on site drainage for Outlot A. Desiqn & Review Committee The Design & Review Committee met with the petitioner on May 15 and supported the request. Additional comments from the Committee included: demonstrate how storm water needs will be met Planning Case Report 03-07 Page 5 5/30/03 in future, clarify parking, identify rail spur ownership, and clarify signage. A revised preliminary plat- was submitted as a result of the comments discussed at the meeting. D. Plan Description The revised plat includes the following details, as noted in the Planner's report: 1. Access/Circulation - The preliminary plat indicates two (2) existing access drives for Lot 1, one of which is located on Outlot A. The preliminary plat proposes a "floating" easement over Outlot A to allow future development of Outlot A while maintaining a second access to Lot 1. The current drive access configuration provides adequate turning radii for vehicles serving the existing building on Lot 1. 2. Parkinq - The preliminary plat indicates fifty-one (51) existing parking spaces on Lot 1 of which one is designated as disabled accessible. PARKING REQUIRED EXISTING PROPOSED PROPOSED REQUIREMENTS 8,000 s.f. office LOT 1, BLOCK 1 LOT 1, BLOCK OUTLOT A 57,000 s.f. warehouse 1 Office 27 51 total 91 total N/A 1 per 300 s.f.

TOTAL PARKING 65 51 91 N/A Disabled 3 1 4 N/A Accessible 1 per 25 spaces Van Accessible 1 None None N/A 1 per 400 TOTAL 3 1 4 N/A DISABLED 'ACCESSIBLE Based upon building use of 8,000 square feet of office space and 57,000 square feet of warehouse space, sixty-five (65) parking stalls are required. Existing parking is inadequate and two (2) additional disabled accessible parking spaces are required for existing parking, including one (1) van accessible disabled accessible parking space. Once proof of parking is implemented however, there will be ninety-one (91) total parking spaces available, four (4) of which shall be designated as disabled accessible. One such disabled accessible parking space must be van accessible. A grading and drainage plan will be required to implement proposed proof of parking and shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. The preliminary plat illustrates five (5) disabled accessible parking spaces, yet states that only one disabled accessible parking space is currently available and that four (4) total will be provided when proof of parking is implemented. Disabled accessible parking spaces must be eight (8) feet wide with a five (5) foot wide access aisle. Please note that one (1) disabled accessible parking space must be van accessible. The van accessible space must be eight (8) feet wide with an eight (8) foot wide access aisle. The preliminary plat illustrates one existing parking space encroaching into Outlot A. Such parking space must be eliminated or an easement for such parking over Outlot A to benefit Lot I must be acquired. Planning Case Report 03-07 Page 6 5/30/03 3. Landscaping - The preliminary plat illustrates existing landscaping on the site. A landscaping plan has not otherwise been proposed. Staff recommends landscaping of Lot 1 after proof of parking has been implemented. Landscaping plans shall be submitted in conjunction with implementation of any future parking lot improvements (proof of parking) and shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Council. 4. Gradin.q Plan - A grading and drainage plan will be required to implement proposed proof of parking and shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. In the event that grading will be required to allow for proper storm water drainage from Lot 1 to the drainage pond on Outlot A, a grading plan subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer shall be required. 5. Storm Water - The preliminary plat illustrates numerous catch basins directing storm water underneath the existing building on Lot 1 to a pond west of the site. An easement for a storm water drainage pond is also indicated and must be adequate to provide proper storm water drainage for both Lot 1 and Outlot A. The preliminary plat indicates that the drainage pond will be "subject to change at the time of development." Any relocation of the storm water drainage pond shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. In addition, in the event that grading will be required to allow for proper storm water drainage from Lot 1 to the storm water drainage pond on Outlot A, a grading plan subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer shall be required. The preliminary plat is subject to review and approval by the Shingle Creek Watershed District. 6. Signaqe - The preliminary plat indicates one (1) existing building identification sign on Lot 1 and that the building identification sign currently located on Outlot A shall be removed in accordance with City Code requirements. 7. Easements - Easements at least 10 feet wide, centered on rear and other lot lines, have been provided for utilities. An easement for a storm water drainage pond is indicated on Outlot A and must be recorded. Such storm water drainage pond must have capacity for both Lot 1, Block 1 and Outlot A. An easement for access over Outlot A to benefit Lot 1, Block 1 Thompson New Hope Addition must be recorded. Other Items Noted on Plat - Notes Corresponding to Proposed Easements: 1. Proposed drive access easement is to be floating easement which would allow development of Outlot A but would assure owner of Lot 1 the ability to maintain traffic flow through Outlot A and Outlot A access through Lot 1, subject to development of Outlot A. 2. Creation of storm sewer easement over portion of existing storm sewer lying on Outlot A as shown. At time of development of Outlot A, easement would be maintained or vacated depending on development. 3. Proposed ponding easement in southeast corner of Outlot A is subject to change at time of development of property. It must accommodate site storm water at time of development and would need to be approved by City. 4. Possible additional parking on Lot 1, the additional storm water would be placed into existing storm sewer system and modified to accommodate new parking at time of development. 5. Drainage and utility easements will be dedicated along all lot lines as shown per City. Planninq Considerations Excerpts from Planner's report have been incorporated into this report. Planning Case Report 03-07 Page 7 5/30/03 Planning Case Report 03-07 F. Buildinq Considerations The Building Official reviewed the plat and is in agreement with the items noted in this report. G. Le.qal Considerations Comments from the City Attorney were previously outlined in the report. H. En.qineerin.q Considerations Comments from the City Engineer were previously outlined in the report. A. Police Considerations The Police Department was involved in the review of this plat. B. Fire Considerations West Metro Fire was involved in the review of this plat. VIII. Summary The preliminary plat meets the requirements of the Zoning and Subdivision ordinances if the conditions listed are implemented. This is a large parcel which could accommodate another business in the City. A number of issues will need to be addressed when the Outlot is developed, such as utility services, storm water ponding, etc. Although there are a number of conditions attached, most are minor changes, simply require the recording of documents or provision of easements or will be implemented at the time the Outlot is developed.

MN 55402 Tel: 612/341-4444 I:ax: 612/347-9389 www. collierstowle.com To: Planning Commission On behalf of my client David Thompson of Redwing Foods I'm pleased to submit this narrative with the enclosed application to plat an out lot on the above captioned property. MR. Thompson as the fee owner of the property has decided to either lease the entire facility or sell it. Most of the parties interested in MR. Thompson's property prefer to buy the property. However, none of the parties have any interest or need in the approximately three acres of expansion land to the East of the existing building. Therefore, in order not to inhibit the sale of the property because of price or increase the tax burden because of the excess land value, we are proposing an out lot. This will allow the excess land to be conveyed to some other interested party for future development. Furthermore, MR. Thompson wants to convey interest in both the building and land in an expeditious manner. Because we do not have any party currently offering to buy the vacant land it is most prudent to simply plat the site as an out lot and allow the buyer to re-plat the site for their specific use. In platting the site as an out lot we intend to provide a perpetual easement agreement with the East and West ingress and egress to the site. We see this as a simple uncomplicated process therefore we expect the planning commission's full support with final approval from the City Counsel by the end of June. Sincerely, Greg lglcDonald .

The subject site is located at 8501 54th Avenue North. The site currently has a metes and bounds legal description and the City Code requires that any division of such site be platted. The preliminary plat of the site includes one lot (Lot 1, Block 1 Thompson New Hope Addition) on which there is an existing office/warehouse building and one outlot (Outlot A) which is currently not improved but will provide access and drainage easements for Lot 1, Block 1 Thompson New Hope Addition (Lot 1). There are no additional improvements proposed to the site except implementation of proof of parking. Attached for Reference: Exhibit A Site Location Map Exhibit B Preliminary Plat REVIEW COMMENTS: Land Use. The site is currently zoned I (Industrial). Office and warehouse uses are permitted uses within the Industrial District. The site is bounded to the east, west and south by industrial uses. Commercial and residential uses are located directly north of the site. Preliminary Plat. Section 13 of the New Hope City Code requires that division of any tract of land with a metes and bounds legal description be platted. The site consists of 7.824 acres. The proposal is to divide the site into two parcels consisting of 4.04 acres (Lot 1) and 3.24 acres (Outlot A). Outlot A will not be developed at this time. A portion of the site (23,877 square feet) will be dedicated as right-of-way for 54th Avenue North. Performance Standards. The site is currently zoned I (Industrial) and is subject to the following performance standards: INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT REQUIRED PROPOSED PROPOSED STANDARDS LOT 1, BLOCK 1 OUTLOT A Minimum Lot Area One Acre 175,965.5 sq. ft. 140,984 sq. ft. (4.04 acres) (3.24 acres) Minimum Lot Width 100 feet 281.17 feet 226.84 feet Impervious Surface 80% 63% Unknown Coverage (20% green space) (37% green space) 74.5% including proof of parking (25.5% green space) Building Height 6 stories or 72 feet, 1-story N/A whichever is greater INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT REQUIRED PROPOSED PROPOSED SETBACKS LOT 1, BLOCK 1 OUTLOT A Front 30 feet complies N/A Side 10 feet complies N/A Rear 10 feet (abutting RR) 9.1 feet N/A The preliminary plat is in conformity with all of the performance standards for the Industrial District except the rear yard setback. The existing building on proposed Lot 1 encroaches into the required rear yard setback of ten (10) feet and is thus non-conforming. The preliminary plat provides for right-of-way for 54th Avenue North and ten (10) foot drainage and utility easements along the property lines in accordance with City Code requirements. As the existing building located on Lot 1 encroaches into the required rear yard setback of ten (10) feet, it also encroaches into the required drainage and utility easement along the rear property line. Access / Circulation. The preliminary plat indicates two (2) existing access drives for Lot 1, one of which is located on Outlot A. The preliminary plat proposes a "floating" easement over Outlot A to allow future development of Outlot A while maintaining a second access to Lot 1. The current drive access configuration provides adequate turning radii for vehicles serving the existing building on Lot 1. Parking. The preliminary plat indicates fifty-one (51) existing parking spaces on Lot 1 of which one is designated as disabled accessible. PARKING REQUIRED EXISTING PROPOSED PROPOSED REQUIREMENTS 8,000 s.f. office LOT 1, BLOCK 1 LOT 1, BLOCK 1 OUTLOT A 57,000 s.f. warehouse Office 27 51 total 91 total N/A 1 per 300 s.f.

Existing parking is inadequate and two (2) additional disabled accessible parking spaces are required for existing parking, including one (1) van accessible disabled accessible parking space. Once proof of parking is implemented however, there will be ninety-one (91) total parking spaces available, four (4) of which shall be designated as disabled accessible. One such disabled accessible parking space must be van accessible. A grading and drainage plan will be required to implement proposed proof of parking and shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. The preliminary plat illustrates five (5) disabled accessible parking spaces, yet states that only one disabled accessible parking space is currently available and that four (4) total will be provided when proof of parking is implemented. Disabled accessible parking spaces must be eight (8) feet wide with a five (5) foot wide access aisle. Please note that one (1) disabled accessible parking space must be van accessible. The van accessible space must be eight (8) feet wide with an eight (8) foot wide access aisle. The preliminary plat illustrates one existing parking space encroaching into Outlot A. Such parking space must be eliminated or an easement for such parking over Outlot A to benefit Lot 1 must be acquired. Landscaping. The preliminary plat illustrates existing landscaping on the site. A landscaping plan has not otherwise been proposed. Staff recommends landscaping of Lot 1 after proof of parking has been implemented. Landscaping plans shall be submitted in conjunction with implementation of any future parking lot improvements (proof of parking) and shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Council. Grading Plan. A grading and drainage plan will be required to implement proposed proof of parking and shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. In the event that grading will be required to allow for proper storm water drainage from Lot 1 to the drainage pond on Outlot A, a grading plan subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer shall be required. Storm Water. The preliminary plat illustrates numerous catch basins directing storm water underneath the existing building on Lot 1 to a pond west of the site. An easement for a storm water drainage pond is also indicated on Outlot ^. The capacity of such storm water drainage pond should be indicated and must be adequate to provide proper storm water drainage for both Lot 1 and Outlot A. The preliminary plat indicates that the drainage pond will be "subject to change at the time of development". Any relocation of the storm water Page 3 drainage pond shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. In addition, in the event that grading will be required to allow for proper storm water drainage from Lot 1 to the storm water drainage pond on Outlot A, a grading plan subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer shall be required. The preliminary plat is subject to review and approval by the Shingle Creek Watershed District. Signage: The preliminary plat indicates one (1) existing building identification sign on Lot 1 and that the building identification sign currently located on Outlot A shall be removed in accordance with City Code requirements. Easements. Easements at least ten feet wide, centered on rear and other lot lines, have been provided for utilities. An easement for a storm water drainage pond is indicated on Outlot A and must be recorded. Such storm water drainage pond must have capacity for both Lot 1 Block 1 and Outlot A. An easement for access over Outlot A to benefit Lot 1, Block 1 Thompson New Hope Addition must be recorded.

Lot 1, Block 1 will include the existing building and parking lot and the balance of the property will be platted as an outlot. The following comments are provided for your consideration: The drainage from this parcel is directed to the southwest comer of the property. A storm sewer near the north end of the building captures some runoff, routes the storm water below the building, and discharges to a low area on the neighboring property (Waymouth Foods). The remaining runoff naturally flows to the south property line and the RR property. This drainage then continues west to the same low point at Waymouth Foods. The outlet for this low point is a private storm sewer. This application does not include any site improvements; therefore, storm water improvements do not need to occur at this time. However, it is important to consider future required storm water improvements such that drainage easements can be platted at this time. With future development on these parcels, it will be important to limit the rate of runoff from this parcel to the Waymouth property low point. A future pond will be required to limit the runoff rate. The pond will also be required for water quality treatement. Lot 1 will have limited space to accommodate such a pond. An easement area is shown in the southern portion of Outlot A for a pond which would benefit both parcels. The second parcel will be platted as an Outlot; therefore, sewer and water services do not be to installed at this time. The service would be added in the future with replatting. A driveway exists on the outlot for the benefit of Lot 1. A shared ingress/egress easement is provided allowing the drive is to remain. 2335 West Highway 36 · St. Paul, MN 55113 · 651-636-4600 · Fax: 651-636-1311 Easements are shown on the plat as proposed. They should be labeled as easements and recorded with the plat at this time. If Hennepin County does not allow certain easements to be shown on the plat such the ingress/e~ess easement, separate documents must be prepared to recorded such easements.

Staff and the consultants will prepare an outline of issues to be addressed and present to the Committee for review before the study proceeds. B. Transit Shelters - This issue may have to be reviewed again by the Committee. The review of the proposed transit shelter locations by property owners at the May Citizen Advisory Commission went fine. However, two things occurred since that time which have delayed staff taking the ordinance and agreement to the Council: 1) Outdoor Promotions has contacted staff and said they want additional changes in both the ordinance and the contract. 2) U.S. Bench strongly opposes giving up its sites for shelters and wants the City to pursue "sharing the sites" to accommodate both benches and shelters at the sites. Staff needs to review these issues with the City Manager and determine how to proceed. Desi,qn & Review Committee - The Design & Review Committee met in May to review plans for the St. Joseph Church, the pet hospital and the plat for subdividing the property on 54th Avenue. The deadline for the July Planning Commission meeting is June 6. Committee members will be notified regarding the status of the meeting.

The City Council has been addressing the residential portion of this goal through the City's many housing activities, including partnering with different agencies and organizations on housing projects. In the past, the City has been requested to approve similar agreements in multi-partner redevelopment projects. As the EDA is aware, projects of this size require a variety of funding partners and usually require the expertise of an experienced development agency, such as PPL. Often times, other jurisdictions and agencies approve funding, contingent upon the City's consent and project participation. BACKGROUND Staff is requesting Council and EDA approval of the attached resolution prepared by the City Attorney approving three routine agreements with the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) for the PPL rehabilitation project at 7610 Bass Lake Road (11 unit rehabilitation). This project is being handled in the same manner as the previous PPL redevelopment project, the Bass Lake Court Townhomes. Please see the following comments offered by the City Attorney regarding the requested action: "This is basically a housekeeping item despite the length of the documents. The attached agreements are required by HUD and the MPHA to permit funding of the project. These documents are virtually identical to the ones w._._.___e used on the Bass Lake Town Home development in 1998. MOTION BY SECOND BY TO: I I:\RFA\PI_ANNINC~~ EDA.doc '-' Request for Action Page 2 5-12-0,_ ~ We have already entered into a development agreement with PPL. This development agreement is confirmed by the attached Housing Development Agreement. All plans for the remodeling of the apartment complex n j to be approved by the City per our development agreement. Commencement of construction on the redevelopment project must begin by the end of the year. It also requires PPL to develop and operate 4 Metropolitan Housing Opportunity Program (MHOP) units for the term of the Annual Contributions Contract (ACC). It is my understanding the term of this contract is 40 years. However, our right to collect taxes on these units will be limited to 5% of the "shelter rents" for the term of the ACC. I have not run the number on this amount but suffice to say the taxes the City will collect against these units will be nominal. The Housing Development Agreement requires the MPHA, the EDA and PPL to enter into the Operating and Regulatory Agreement attached to the resolution. This agreement simply establishes the opera,ting subsidy which will be paid to PPL on an annual basis. We also have agreed to allow PPL to transfer their interest in the development to Bass Lake Apartments, LLC. This is a new entity in which PPL has the controlling interest. As a result, there will be a Property Management Agreement between those entities. The EDA is only approving this agreement, we do not need to sign it." On December 9, 2002, the EDA approved resolutions approving an Initial Agreement and Cooperation Agreement between the MPHA and the EDA for the PPL/Bass Lake Road Apartments project at 7610 Bass Lake Road. The Initial Agreement indicated that the EDA was willing to participate with the MPHA and PPL in the proposal process to HUD for funding of the MHOP units and required the EDA to enter into a Housing Development Agreement with the MPHA and PPL that, among other things, established design specifications for the units, confirmed amenities in and around the development and required PPL to execute a Regulatory and Operating Agreement and provide Declaration of Restrictive Covenants relating to the operation of the units. The Cooperation Agreement indicated that the City, in its capacity as the taxing authority, will not assess real estate taxes against the four MHOP units within the development for the entire 40-year exemption period. In lieu of real estate taxes, the Owner will pay the EDA a PILOT. This amount will be calculated as 5% of the "Shelter Rent" as that term is defined in the Agreement. Shelter Rent is approximately 30% of the income of the occupants of the four MHOP units. As a result, the rental payment will be quite Iow. The EDA will be required to pay the PILOT to the County for distribution to the various taxing bodies as if it were the actual real estate tax payment. On May 13, 2002, the EDA approved a redevelopment and loan agreement with PPL for partial funding and participating in 7610 Bass Lake Road Redevelopment Project. The project will include complete rehabilitation of the building's exterior and interior, as well as, several site improvements, including: · Exterior: The building exterior will be completely renovated, including painting, the repair or replacement of the soffits, fascia, gutters and downspouts, brick and mortar repair, and the repair or replacement of the windows and exterior doors and roof. · Interior: The interior work will include updating the existing units in their present configuration. New cabinets, counters and appliances will be provided in the kitchens. The plumbing and electrical will be updated. The boiler will be replaced. The walls will be repaired and painted and new carpet will be installed throughout. · Site Improvements: The landscaping will be improved, a playground added, the drive expanded and resurfaced, the walkways repaired, and garages added for each unit. On February 25, 2002, the City Council approved a resolution Brepared by the Ci~ Atto.m. ey a~JthorizLn, g *.he acquisition of 7610 Bass Lake Road by eminent domain. Project 'for Pride in Living, Inc. and the owners had e ~o R, equest for Action Page 3 5-12-03 executed a purchase agreement on the property and the owners requested a "friendly condemnation" resolution to insure they will be able to utilize the full rights of Section 1033 of the Internal Revenue-Code. Those rights relate to an extended time limit of reinvestment for tax purposes. PPL purchased the property through a direct transaction, therefore it was not necessary for the City to commence a conclemnatlon proceeding pursuant to that resolution. On October 2, 2001 staff presented this rehabilitation proposal to the Livable Communities Task Force. Staff prepared an information packet for the Task Force, gave a short presentation on the project and requested that the Task Force review the proposal and provide written input on the project at the following meeting. The overwhelming input and direction from the Task Force was to proceed with the project. On June 27, 2001, the EDA requested that staff investigate additional financing options for the project. Staff presented those options at the September 17, 2001 Council work session. At the work session, the majority of the Council voted to approve the rehabilitation project contingent on decreasing the City's c(~ntribution to $218,000 with the addition of a fourth MHOP unit and obtaining Livable Community Task Force input on the project. Also, the Council elected to contribute $5,000 for playground equipment on the site. PPL ensured the Council that an additional $5,000 could be raised to match the City's contribution for playground equipment. Rehabilitation activities are expected to begin in this spring. Staff recommends approval of this resolution. FUNDING The total cost of this project is approximately $1.32 million. The financing is a combination of a traditional bank mortgage, investments from the City of New Hope and Hennepin County HOME and AHIF funds. Four affordable units will be paid for by the Metropolitan Housing Opportunities Program (MHOP), which was created to increase the supply of rental housing outside of the central cities. The City's portion of funding for the project is as follows: Total loan: $223,000 (30 year 0% interest deferred loan with a balloon payment due June 1, 2032). Sources: o $ 78,000 CDBG, and; o $145,000 EDA. Staff has made it clear to PPL and the NCRC that the amount of EDA funding for this project is firm and will not increase.

The Iow-quote for the entire project was $35,676.50. POLICY/PAST PRACTICE City goal//2 is to pursue the maintenance and redevelopment of commercial and residential properties within the City. The City Council has been addressing the residential portion of this goal through the City's many housing activities, including acquiring properties from willing sellers in designated redevelopment areas. After property acquisition, staff normally seeks house moving quotes and/or demolition quotes and recommends awarding the contract to the firm that submits the lowest responsible quote. In cases where house movers are not interested in purchasing the structures, demolition is recommended. Before final payment is made for City contracts, the request is brought before the Council for approval. BACKGROUND On October 28, 2002, the New Hope City Council awarded a contract for the demolition and site restoration of 5518 Winnetka Avenue North, 5524 Winnetka Avenue North and 5520 Sumter Avenue North to Kevitt Excavating, Inc. in the Iow quote amount of $35,676.50.

Each property is located in the Livable Communities Study Area and in Planning District 6. Community Development staff, Public Works staff, the City Engineer and the City Attorney completed quote packets for demolition and house-moving contractors. The specifications were designed to comprehensively evaluate each site and combine the subject sites with other adjacent City-owned properties into a maintainable park-like condition. On October 4, staff solicited quotes from six (6) house-moving contractors for the sale of all structures and four (4) demolition contractors to remove foundations and additional site features. Demolition contractors were instructed to quote the entire demolition of all superstructures (house and garage) as an alternate for each site if the structures were not sold. On October 10, staff held a mandatory pre-quote meeting for contractors to view the sites. Two (2) demolition contractors and two (2) house-moving contractors attended the pre-quote site meeting.

BACKGROUND As completed for previous City developed twinhome, the City Attorney has prepared the attached restrictive covenants for 7105 62nd Avenue North & 6151 Louisiana Avenue North. This Declaration of Covenants is similar to previous covenants approved by the Council. The covenants focus mainly on building and use restrictions, the party wall, utilities and maintenance. Please see the following summary of covenants: BUILDING AND USE RESTRICTIONR Residential Use: Each lot shall be used for residential purposes only. Only one unit per lot shall be constructed or located on the properties referenced. Lease or rental of a unit for residential purposes shall not be considered to be a violation of this covenant. Operation of a home office or business shall not, in and of itself, be a violation of this covenant, but neither shall the operation of a home office or business justify the violation of any other covenant. No Noxious Activity: No noxious or offensive activity shall be conducted on the lot or in the unit, nor shall anything be done thereon which may be or become an annoyance or a nuisance to the other owner or occupant or to the neighborhood in general. Garbage and Refuse Removal: Each lot shall be kept in a clean, sightly and wholesome condition at all times.

If such responsible owner fails to immediately proceed to repair and rebuild the wall, then any other owner shall be entitled to so repair and rebuild the wall at the responsible owner's sole expense. By failing to immediately repair and rebuild the wall, the responsible owner forfeits the right to challenge the reasonableness of the cost of repairing and rebuilding the walt. UTILITIES No Common or Joint Utilities: There are no common or joint utilities. The utilities which provide service to the units are extended from the public right-of-way separately to each unit. Maintenance and Repair of Utilities: In the event that a utility serving one unit runs across the lot of the other unit, each owner grants to the other owners an. easement for the maintenance and repair of any sucl~ utility. Each owner shall have the right to enter upon said easement areas at all reasonable times to construct, reconstruct, inspect, repair and maintain underground pipes, conduits and connections and the further right to remove trees, brush, undergrowth and other obstructions interfering with the location, construction and maintaining of said pipes, conduits and connections. COVENANT FOR MAINTENANCE Creation of Covenant: Each owner covenants to maintain the lot and the exterior of the unit in good condition and repair and in a clean and neat condition. Further, each owner covenants to maintain the unit with a uniform exterior appearance with the adjoining unit in terms of color, design and maintenance. Owners may replace exterior components with similar components of the same design and color, but may not paint the extedor since it is maintenance-free siding. Owners shall not, either in the course of an ordinary replacement, remodeling or restoration after damage or destruction, employ different siding or roofing material or a difference color scheme without the wdtten consent of all other owners. On September 23, 2003, the Council awarded a construction contract for this project to the Iow-bidder, BCB Construction, inc. in the amount of $347,461. Construction of the twinhome is near completion. On August 14, 2000, the City purchased 7105 62nd Avenue North from a willing seller for $103,000. The original intent was to rehabilitate the existing home under the City's Scattered Site Housing Program. Upon further inspection, City staff found that the home's foundation was failing. Based on the high cost of repairing the foundation, on March 26, 2001, the Council directed staff to remove the existing house and proceed with the development of a new accessible twinhome in partnership with the Northwest Communities Revitalization Corporation (NCRC). Staff anticipates that construction and landscaping will be completed by June 30. Staff expects to begin marketing the property will begin once the restrictive covenants are approved. Staff recommends approval of this resolution. FUNDING This project is located in an area where TIF funds can be utilized. CDBG funds were used to acquire the property, remove the foundation and prepare the site. CHDO HOME funds in the amount of $60,500 have been secured for this project. Construction costs will be funded by the sale of the property.

The easement is no longer necessary and vacation of such easement will aid in the redevelopment of the parcels. POLICY/PAST PRACTICF City goal #2 is to pursue the maintenance and redevelopment of commercial and residential properties within the City. The Council has been addressing the commercial portion of this goal through the City's many development activities, including coordinating with potential developers for the sale and development of City- owned property. In the past, the Council has authorized the vacation of public easements on City-owned property. BACKGROUND Staff is requesting Council consideration of the attached resolution prepared by the City Attorney authorizing the vacation of a public alley easement and calling for a public hearing to initiate the process for the City- owned site at 7500-7528 42nd Avenue North. The easement is no longer necessary and vacation of such easement will aid in the redevelopment of the parcels. Please see the following comments offered by the City Attorney (attached): "Generally, the process for vacating a public alley easement is started by private petitioners. Here, however, we do not have private petitioners, but rather the City is initiating the process itself. The enclosed proposed Resolution will supplant the private petition. Also, since the City is itself acting as the "petitioner", the enclosed proposed Resolution skips ahead to the second step, which is the setting of a public hearing on the matter. Once the public hearing is set, the City Clerk (irrespective of whether there was a private petition or not) is responsible for serving notice of the public hearing on the parties specified in City Code § 6-9. ~ublic hearing has been held, the C~Council must determine whether of not the vacation of the MOTION BY SECOND BY TO: I:\RFA\PLANNING\Electronic Industries\Q - Easement Vacation - Schedu~o ~ublic Hearln- doc Request for Action Page 2 5-27-03 public alley easement is in the best interest of the public. If the City Council so determines, they may tl~en vacate the public alley easement via a second Resolution. That second Resolution must be adopted after public hearing, but there is no reason why the City Council cannot adopt it immediately after the public hea~ at the very same meeting." On March 10, 2003, the EDA directed staff to continue coordination with Retail Site Development Services (RSDS) for development of the subject property. RSDS's development proposal was for two uses: a Culvers restaurant on the westem portion of the site and three (3) office condominium buildings (seven ('7) separate ownership units) on the eastern portion of the site. Staff has continued to coordinate with RSDS and expects that a revised proposal will be presented to the EDA at a future meeting for concept consideration and further direction. The City has been working for several years to initiate the environmental cleanup process and subsequent commercial redevelopment of this site. In conjunction with cleanup funding grant applications submitted during the spring of 2002, the Council approved a Request for Proposal (RFP) process for the site. As a result of the RFP, the City received a proposal for the office condominium component of the current proposal. Using the office condominium proposal in the cleanup grant applications, the Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED) rated New Hope's application #1 in the State of Minnesota due to the economic development and job creation potential. DTED subsequently approved a fully funded grant in partnership with a Hennepin County approved grant. Culver's RestaurantJRSDS came later in the process and staff suggested they coordinate with the office condominium developer which they have done. Cleanup activities have started. The first round of subsurface permanganate injections into the shallow ground water on the former Electronic Industries ('El) site was completed on May 1 & 2. Five rounds of injections, spaced at 30 day intervals, were funded by DTED and Hennepin County and are planned. Subsurface testing will also occur monthly to measure the effectiveness of the injections in reducing the contaminant levels to levels acceptable to the MPCA for site closure. Also, a new groundwater remediation well was installed on the Gill Brother's Funeral Home site in Preparation for new remediation equipment at the site. El has successfully negotiated an agreement with Gill Brothers for this work, and have obtained a building permit. MPCA site closure for the El site is conditioned on the installation and operation of the new remediation system at the Gill Brothers site. Once constructed, the existing remediation system on the former El site will be decommissioned and removed from the site. If all activities proceed as expected, staff anticipates that environmental remediation will be completed by the fall of 2003. As stated previously, staff has continued to coordinate with RSDS and expects that a revised Culver's Restaurant & Office Condominium proposal will be presented at a future EDA meeting for concept consideration and further direction. Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

REQUESTED ACTION Staff is requesting that the Council approve a resolution authorizing an application to be filed with the Metropolitan Council for a Livable Communities Demonstration Account (LCDA) Opportunity Grant program to further study the feasibility of redevelopment of the City Center site. The total project cost, including all consultant and task force costs, has been estimated at approximately $150,000, and the amount of the grant request is $75,000. The request is the average amount rewarded. The grant requires a one-to-one match from the City and the City share will be funded from 2002/2003 EDA funds. .POLICY/PAST PRACTICF The City in the past has received grants for housing and planning studies from the Metropolitan Council. The City's participation in the Livable Communities Program and various redevelopment projects that New Hope has undertaken in the past will strengthen this application. ,,BACKGROUND The application is for funds to cover the consultant costs of in depth planning, market, and feasibility studies for redevelopment of the City Center area. The sites are identified within a ~ mile radius from the intersection of 42"d and Winnetka Avenues. The sites will be subject to advanced planning, market, and redevelopment feasibility studies. The application will also cover costs associated with neighborhood, meetings with property owners in the area to encourage and discuss ways the City can further assist with private redevelopment projects. The potential redevelopment of the City Center area has been discussed many times in the past, with most recent in-depth study being the New Hope City Center Streetscape Master Plan completed in 1998 by Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban, Inc. with input from a citizen/business task force. The City Center area is also discussed extensively in the updated Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in 1998. MOTION BY SECOND BY TO: ~\da~planning~livable communities\opportunity grant .'ci.~, center Request for Action Page 2 05-27-03 A task force is currently studying the City Center area. Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban has been hired to work as the master planner for the project. A workplan has been prepared. The City's Planning Consultant, the City Engineer, Aimee Gourlay of the Mediation Center for Dispute Resolution, Rick Martens of Brook, stone Development, and Greg Johnson of Krass Monroe are also part of the project team. Grants are due to the Metropolitan Council on June 2 and should be accompanied by a resolution authorizing submittal of the application by the City Council. Staff will be finalizing the application the week of May 26. City staff met with representatives from the Metropolitan Council, reviewed this request with them, and they have advised the City to apply for this grant. FUNDING Awards must be matched by a 1:1 local contribution, which can include in-kind and other contributions. The local dollar cont~'ibution can include local costs directly related to the proposal that have been expended within 12 months prior to the date of the grant award.

The ordinance modifies the City Code to conform with the 2003 amendments to the State Building and Fire Codes and many cities in the metro area have already or are in the process of adopting similar revisions to the code. The Building Official and a representative from West Metro Fire-Rescue District will be present at the meeting to answer questions on the ordinance revisions. .POLICY/PAST PRACTICE In the past, the City Council has approved similar amendments to conform city ordinances to new state regulations. ,.BACKGROUND Per the attached memorandum from the Building Official, "The State of Minnesota, along with the rest of the country, is at a unique point in time relative to the building code. On March 31, 2003, the State of Minnesota officially adopted the International Building Code (IBC), the Intemational Residential Code (IRC) and the Guideline for the Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings (GREB). The International family of codes is a cooperative effort of the three model code organizations that has taken many years to complete. The purpose of the code is to provide minimum standards to safeguard life, health, property and the public welfare. The State's goal is to have buildings throughout the state safe for all building occupants and emergency responders. The State of Minnesota has amended the IBC and the IRC to suit specific local requirements. The City of New Hope has adopted by reference the Minnesota State Building Code (MSBC) which incorporates the IBC, IRC, and GREB. The New Hope City Code will have to be amended to reflect the new code requirements." Please see the enclosed News Release from the Minnesota Department of Administration for further details. The City Attorney has met with the Building Official and prepared the enclosed ordinance to modify the New Ho_.Ep..~.ode to incorporate the new changes. MOTION BY SECOND BY TO: code 2003 amend.doc Request for Action Page 2 5-27-03 Per the City Attorney's correspondence, "This ordinance basically modifies our City Code to conform with the 2003 amendments to the State Building and Fire Codes. Most of the changes are routine and apply mainly to reference changes to other Codes adopted by the State Building and Fire Codes. These routine changes were extensive and the amendments to this Ordinance took considerable time due to the Code numbering system change implemented last year. However, there are several substantive changes. Specifically, in Section 4 amending Section 3-2(a)(2) "Optional Enforcement Divisions Adopted," the City is adopting Chapter 1306 of the Minnesota Rules relating to special fire protection systems. It does impose on new structures and remodeled structures potent,ally costly requirements for sprinkler systems. However, when the City entered into the West Metro Fire-Rescue Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Crystal, the City agreed in the Agreement to adopt Chapter 1306 relating to these special fire protection systems. Therefore, the City is contractually bound in our Agreement with the City of Crystal to adopt this provision. , In Section 12, we have eliminated the City's Bureau of Fire Prevention, Fire Marshal and Fire Inspector positions. Those responsibilities and duties are handled by the West Metro Fire-Rescue District. In Section 15 and 18, the Code is still referring to "NFC" regulations. It's my understanding that this is a reference to the National Fire Code. However, in Section 11 adopting the "Fire Prevention Code," it appears we have deleted the reference to the NFC. The West Metro Fire-Rescue District should review these sections and advise about the correct reference which should be used in these sections. Finally, in Section 19 regulating permits for certain open burning, we are incorporating a new set of provisions relating to recreational or backyard fireplaces and fire pits. Those regulations are self explanatory. With the exception of these specifically referenced sections, basically this Ordinance, while lengthy, is a housekeeping item to bring out Code in conformity with current State law." Staff is recommending approval of the ordinance.

As the City Council is aware, any ordinances adopted by the City Council need to be published in the official newspaper of the City. Due to the length of Ordinance No. 03-09, the Community Development Director and City Attorney are recommending that the Council adopt the attached summary ordinance for publication so that the entire 10-page original ordinance does not need to be published. The City Attorney has prepared the attached summary ordinance for your review and approval. Staff recommends approval of the ordinance. POLICY/PAST PRACTICE The City Council routinely adopts summary ordinances for publication when the original ordinances are of a lengthy format. .BACKGROUND A detailed description of the ordinance is included under Item 10.3 and the summary ordinance simply summarizes the major points in that ordinance. FUNDING The cost to publish the entire odginal ordinance would be high; therefore, staff is recommending adoption of the summary ordinance as a cost savings measure. .ATI'ACHMENTS · Summary Ordinance No. 03-09 · City Attorney Correspondence MOTION BY SECOND BY TO: ~ ~,,,,, ,,~x~orol~,ancesx~.summary Dldg-tlre code.doc SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 03-09 AN ORDINANCE CONFO~G Tiq'g.

Details are yet to be worked out regarding the selection of the appraisal firm and would be coordinated with Bear Creek Capital in the future. The City Manager recommends that the City share in the "up front" costs with the understanding that the City's investment would be recuperated if the development moves forward. POLICY/PAST PRACTICF The EDA has shared in appraisal costs in the past on other potential developments. BACKGROUND Please refer to the attached information, which was included in the May 19 work session packet. The proposal states that Bear Creek Capital and the City agree to share the cost of direct third party costs required to establish the likely cost of acquisition of the properties to a maximum of $15,000. Staff is assuming the City's cost would not exceed one-half of that amount, $7,500. FUNDING The City's share for the cost of the appraisals would be funded out of EDA funds and reimbursed in the future if the project moves forward.

Staff recommends approval of the resolution. POLICY/PAST PRACTICF City goal #2 is to pursue the maintenance and redevelopment of commercial and residential properties withir the City. In the past, the Council has scheduled public hearings to address this type of request. BACKGROUND Staff is requesting Council consideration of the attached resolution prepared by the Dorsey and Whitney, one of the City's financial consultants authorizing calling for a public hearing on the issuance on multifamily housing refunding revenue bonds. This action is requested for the refinancing of the bonds issued in 1993 to Anthony James Apartments, a 73 unit rental housing development located at 6100 West Broadway. The City has received a request from representatives of Broadway LaNel, a Limited Partnership, a Minnesota limited partnership, that the City issue refunding bonds under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C, as amended, to refund the Multifamily Housing Refunding Revenue Bonds (Broadway LaNel Project), Series 1993 of the City, which were used to refund bonds issued to finance the acquisition and construction of Anthony James Apartments, a 73 unit rental housing development owned by the Partnership and located at 6100 West Broadway in the City. Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, requires that prior to the issuance of the refunding bonds, this Council approve the refunding bonds after conducting a public hearing. The attached resolution will schedule a public hearing to issue the refunding bonds on June 23, 2003, at 7:00 o'clock p.m. at the City Hall.

The project includes the following: · Street rehabilitation (mill and overlay) of Erickson Drive, · Water main and storm sewer improvements at 49th Avenue and the TH 169 frontage road, · Street improvement and lane reconfiguration at 49th Avenue and the TH 169 frontage road. This lane reconfiguration will provide a longer merge lane for eastbound traffic coming off of Highway 169 and also a new right turn lane for traffic approaching the frontage road from the east. Proiect Schedule Construction is expected to begin the week of May 5th. During the street improvement and utility installation, traffic on 49th Avenue will be shifted from one side of the street to the other as the work dictates. After the new water main is installed along the north side of 49th Avenue and along the east side of the frontage road, new curbing will be installed along these road sections. Once all of the curb work and utility installation has been completed, the street will be repaired. Construction Hours Standard construction hours will be between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. All work, including mobilization of equipment, will take place during these time periods. Access and Water Service- Streets in this area will remain open during this project. However, there will be times when the drive lanes will be narrowed to allow for construction. Occasionally, large trucks may have difficulty making a turning motion at 49~' Avenue and the Frontage Road. During these times, it may be more convenient for drivers of these large trucks to use Boone Avenue and Science Center Drive, just north of the CP Rail tracks, to enter and exit the industrial area. There will be temporary disruptions of the water service to several buildings in the area of 49th Avenue and the Frontage Road, and to homes along Erickson Drive. These disruptions, necessary to make improvements to the water mains along 49~' Avenue, will be kept as short as possible, and affected properties will be given as much notice as is possible.

The project includes the installation of a sump manhole at the intersection, the placement of approximately 150 feet of plastic pipe to carry storm water that currently flows overland to Meadow Lake, and the creation of a small water quality pond at the end of the newly installed pipe. Construction of this project is contingent on acquiring the necessary easements from affected property owners. Project Schedule This project is one of three parts of the 2003 Infrastructure Improvement Project. Construction is expected to begin at one of the other sites during the week of May 5th. Construction at 59th and Wisconsin Avenues will follow and may begin as early as that week, but will likely occur in the following weeks. Some tree removal will occur before the actual utility installation or pond excavation begins. During this project, there should be no disruption of water or sewer service to area homes. However, construction equipment and vehicles will be using 59th Avenue as a route to and from the site. Therefore, residents of 59t' Avenue can expect a certain amount of truck traffic on their street during the project. The work is expected to take several weeks. Construction Hours Standard construction hours will be between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. All work, including mobilization of equipment, will take place during these time periods.

Projects\721\PB ~t 1 May 1, 2003 CITY OF NEW HOPE 4401 XYLON AVENUE NORTH NEW HOPE, HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA 55428 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES May 6, 2003 City Hall, 7:00 p.m. CALL TO ORDER The New Hope Planning Commission met in regular session pursuant to due call and notice thereof; Vice Chairman Svendsen called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. ROLL CALL Present: Anderson, Barrick, Brauch, Buggy, Hemken, Svendsen Absent: Landy, Oelkers, O'Brien Also Present: Kirk McDonald, Community Development Director, Steve Sondrall, City Attorney, Alan Brixius, Planning Consultant, Vince VanderTop, Assistant City Engineer, Erin Seeman, Community Development Intern, Pamela Sylvester, Recording Secretary CONSENT BUSINESS There was no Consent Business on the agenda. PUBLIC HEARING PC03-05 Item 4.1 Vice Chairman Svendsen introduced for discussion Item 4.1, Request for Front Yard Setback Variance and Curb Cut Variance to Place the Driveway Closer Than 40 Feet From the Property Line Adjacent to an Intersection, 3853 Hillsboro Avenue North, Susan Pfeilsticker, Petitioner. Mr. Kirk McDonald, Director of Community Development, stated that the petitioner was requesting an eight-foot variance to the 25-foot front yard setback requirement to allow a new garage addition to be placed 17 feet from the property line and a curb cut variance to allow the placement of a driveway closer than the required 40 feet from the property line adjacent to an intersection. The property is located at 3853 Hillsboro Avenue, in an R-l, Single Family Zoning District, and is surrounded by single-family homes. The site area contains approximately 10,080 square feet. The existing home contains 1,248 square feet and the proposed addition would be 23 feet by 29 feet for a total of 667 square feet. The Comprehensive Plan indicates that Iow density residential areas in Planning District No. 12 are in good to excellent condition. The City promotes housing maintenance and upgrades by encouraging private reinvestment in single-family homes. McDonald explained that a five-foot drainage and utility easement exists on the south and west sides of the property and the proposed addition to the north would not impact the easements. The City Engineer had indicated in correspondence that there was a significant backyard drainage swale along the south property line that drained the backyards of neighboring properties and must remain open. This proposed addition would occur on the north side of the property and not conflict with the drainage swale. The property owner proposed to build a garage addition to the existing single family home and convert the existing garage area into living space. The property is a corner lot located at the intersection of Hillsboro and Independence avenues. The addition would encroach into the defined front yard setback area and the new driveway curb cut would be located closer to the intersection than allowed by code, therefore, two variances are being requested. The petitioner, Susan Pfeilsticker, indicated a desire to add a two- car garage onto her home and place the driveway straight off the new addition, which would be 32 feet from the street curb, rather than angling the driveway from the new garage to the existing driveway and then to the street. This addition would not negatively impact any neighboring properties, and all building materials would match the existing. The reason she desired to place the driveway toward Hillsboro rather than change it to Independence was for safety reasons: to see her children at play in the driveway and to see any automobiles coming into the driveway. Property owners within 350 feet were notified and staff received several inquiries. After review of the plans, there were no objections. McDonald stated the purpose of a variance was to permit relief from the strict application of the terms of the Zoning Code where circumstances were unique to the individual property under consideration and the granting of a variance was demonstrated to be in keeping with the intent of the Code. The application for variance should not be approved unless a finding was made that the failure to grant the variance would result in undue hardship on the applicant. A hardship may exist by reason of physical condition, which may include lot shape, narrowness, shallowness, slope, or topographic conditions unique to the parcel. The hardship cannot be created by the landowner, alter the essential character of the locality, impair adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or increase the congestion of public streets. The action needs to be the minimum required to eliminate the hardship and cannot involve a use not allowed within the zoning district. The Zoning Code establishes R-1 setbacks as 25 feet for front yard and 20 feet for the side yard on a corner lot. The Code defines the lot front as the narrowed dimension of the lot with frontage on a public street. The front of the applicant's property is along Independence Avenue rather than Hillsboro Avenue, even though the front of the house faces Hillsboro. If the new addition is located 17 feet from the front property line, which has a 25-foot setback requirement, an eight-foot variance from the front yard setback is required. Originally, due to house orientation, staff looked at Independence as the side yard with a 20-foot setback requirement and eligibility for a three-foot side yard reduction by administrative permit. After further review of the zoning definition of lot front, it was determined that Independence Avenue was the front yard and the applicant would need approval of a front yard setback variance. At that time, the request was compared to the criteria for the three-foot encroachment and staff felt that the same reasons would apply to the eight- foot setback. The expansion toward Independence is the most logical, due to the split-level design of the home. No drainage or utility easements would be affected by the proposed expansion. The proposed addition would not negatively impact the neighbors or surrounding properties. The applicant would blend the attached garage into the design of the principal structure and roofing and siding materials would match the existing structure. The applicant complied with the criteria for the side yard setback, and McDonald stated that staff felt the same rationale could be applied to the front yard variance request. In the past, the City has approved many variances for houses that are oriented to the side yard rather than the front yard. McDonald explained that the applicant was requesting a variance from the curb cut proximity to the intersection. The ordinance states that no curb cut or driveway access shall be located less than 40 feet from the intersection of two or more street rights-of-way. The distance is technically measured from the intersection of the lot lines, not the curb lines, and the applicant was requesting a setback of 17 feet from the intersecting lot lines of her lot. The City Engineer indicated in correspondence that with reducing the building setbacks, the 40-foot setback from the side lot line sometimes becomes impractical and difficult to implement. The proposed changes in the driveway would move the curb cut on Hillsboro closer to Independence Avenue, which would be closer than what was allowed by code. The application would result in a driveway only 17 feet from the adjacent right-of-way, however, the actual Planning Commission Meeting 2 May 6, 2003 distance from the curb cut would be 32 feet, or 17 feet plus 15 feet of boulevard = 32 foot separation. That distance could be considered adequate from an engineering standpoint and a variance could be granted. McDonald stated that originally staff thought this may have been overlooked in the Zoning Code, but the Public Works Department indicated it would prefer to address curb cut variance requests on a case-by-case basis rather than making any changes to the code. Public Works reviewed this application and stated it would support the request as long as it was documented the applicant was aware of the additional amount of snow that would accumulate at the end of the driveway during snow events. The Development Review Team and Design & Review Committee met to review the plans and both groups were supportive of the request. The applicant provided detailed specifications on the project and elevation drawings. Asphalt shingles and vinyl siding would match the existing home. McDonald stated that this was the type of addition to single-family homes that was desired in the City, and staff was recommending approval of the two minor variances, subject to the conditions in the report. Ms. Susan Pfeilsticker, 3853 Hillsboro Avenue North, came forward to answer questions of the Commission. Commission Anderson confirmed that the petitioner was aware of the snow issue due to moving the driveway closer to the intersection. The size of plantings in the site triangle was discussed and it was determined that plantings could be utilized that were no taller than 24 inches high. Commissioner Hemken questioned whether the neighbor to the west had any concern with the addition and the petitioner stated that there were a lot of trees and a cedar fence along that side of the property, and the addition should not impact that property. Svendsen asked whether there was anyone in the audience who wished to address the Commission. Mr. Jeff Houle, 3872 Hillsboro Avenue North, came forward and stated that he supported the request and the improvement to the neighborhood. No one else in the audience wished to address the Commission, therefore, the public hearing was closed. Motion by Commissioner Brauch, seconded by Commissioner Buggy, to close the public hearing. All in favor. Motion carried. MOTION Item 4.1 Motion by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Barrick, to approve Planning Case 03-05, Request for Front Yard Setback Variance and Curb Cut Variance to Place the Driveway Closer Than 40 Feet From the Property Line Adjacent to an Intersection, 3853 Hillsboro Avenue North, Susan Pfeilsticker, Petitioner, subject to the following conditions: 1. Materials of addition to match existing home. 2. Comply with City Code regulations on plantings in site triangle area.

Vice Chairman Svendsen introduced for discussion Item 4.2, Request for Site/Building Plan Review, Subdivision of an Existing Lot, and Variance to Lot Area Per Unit Requirement, 5700 Boone Avenue North, Anderson Pattee Realty Services, Petitioner. Mr. Alan Brixius, Planning Consultant, stated the request was for subdivision of an existing lot, a site/building plan review and a variance for lot area per unit requirement. The site is located east of the intersection of Bass Lake Road and Boone Avenue. The overall site area contains 4.91 acres and the applicant was proposing to divide the site into two separate parcels containing 2.29 acres (Parcel A) and 2.61 acres (Parcel B) in size. The site is zoned R-5, Senior/Disabled Residential District. The proposed use would include an 82- unit senior cooperative building that would be located on the vacant parcel east of the existing Chardon Court apartment building. It is a permitted use within the R-5 District. There are single family residential properties to the north across Bass Lake Road, R-4 apartments to the east and south, and to the west along Boone Avenue there are high density residential and industrial preperties. The existing building has access off of Boone Avenue. Brixius stated that severel issues exist with the subdivision of this property. The lot line would be irregular due to the configuration of the existing building and access from Boone Avenue. He stated that staff felt the irregular lot line would be apprepriate in that it divided the property, provided the necessary setbacks off both property lines, and previded a utility corridor between the sites. According to City Code, the front yard was the narrowest part of the property abutting the street. The Boone Avenue frontage would be 42 feet and there would be 236 feet along Bass Lake Road, which raises the issue of which street would be considered front or side yard and the associated setbacks. Staff felt that the Boone Avenue frontage was not wide enough to meet the minimum setbacks for an R-5 District, therefore, staff determined that Bass Lake Road would be considered the front of the property. With that configuretion, the building would meet all required setbacks. Within the R-5 District, City Code requires 1,000 square feet of lot area per unit for a senior project. Chardon Court contains 129 apartment units and the preposed building would contain 82 units, for a total of 211 units overall. Combined units of 211 would be allowed on the total 213,719 square foot parcel; however, after the lot division, the Chardon Court property would contain 99,866 square feet with 129 units. The new Woodbridge building would contain 82 units with the lot at 113,853 square feet. Two options were available to remedy this situation: 1) attempt to reconfigure the lot line for Parcel A to allow more area for that property, or 2) apply for a variance to average the area over the two parcels. Brixius stated that it would be difficult to rearrange the property line due to the driveway, parking areas and building configuration setback. It was staff's opinion that a variance could be justified for the following reasons: 1) That infill development on this parcel is a unique hardship related to lot configuration and placement of the existing building, 2) The preposed building was consistent with the City's housing and land use goals for this area as identified in the Comprehensive Plan, 3) Except for the lot area per unit standard, the project was compliant with the performance standards of the Zoning Code, and 4) overall the density had been met for the R-5 District. Brixius explained that it would be more practical to approve a variance and tie the project together with easements for joint access and utilities, than to reconfigure the lot. Planning Commission Meeting 4 May 6, 2003 Brixius reported that the request followed the criteria for a variance in that the request provided a reasonable use of the property, there was some unique hardship related to the property, and that it was in keeping of the essential character of the locality. The Development Review Team and Design & Review Committee reviewed the plans and were supportive of the project. Revised plans were submitted as a result of the meetings. The Comprehensive Plan promotes housing diversity and the Life Cycle Housing. Study encourages senior owner-occupied units. The building meets all setbacks and site area indicates the building would occupy 26% of the site, green area would be 51% of the site, and bituminous/concrete would be 23% of the site. The minimum floor area per dwelling unit is shown to be in excess of code requirements. The proposed building would be four stories high or 54 feet between grade and roofline, which falls within code requirements. City Code requires one parking space per unit plus one space per employee maximum shift for senior housing. The site plan shows 83 interior parking stalls and 19 exterior stalls, for a total of 102 stalls. Four ADA stalls will be provided (three underground and one surface). A 24-foot drive aisle was shown on the plans. The dimensions of the stalls in the parking lot are 18 feet long and City Code requires 19 feet. The City can allow this reduction if the petitioner submits a snow removal plan. The petitioner indicated that snow would be removed curb-to-curb. Additional exterior parking would be provided in a north central parking area and the hammerhead has been widened at the direction of the Design & Review Committee. Interior parking meets all standards with regard to dimension and configuration. Access would be shared along the property line and an easement had been provided for review by the City Attorney. There are mass transit stops on Boone Avenue and Bass Lake Road and sidewalks have been provided to these areas. An emergency access drive has been provided for fire department access to the rear of the building. The drive would be 20 feet wide and a grass pavement design. No curb cut would be placed on Bass Lake Road and snow drifting along the Bass Lake Road curb would be removed with each snow removal service and snow would be removed from the access drive if the snow depth exceeded five inches. West Metro Fire has reviewed the plans and were in agreement. Brixius continued saying that loading would be at the front entrance and the 40-foot radius would be adequate. The refuse containers would be located in two separate underground parking areas and the dumpsters would be wheeled out for trash collection and then returned to the trash storage area. The temporary staging area for the dumpsters would be located at the north parking lot across from the garage entrance. There are several snow storage areas shown on the plans, as well as the snow removal plan. The primary sign would be located at the comer of Bass Lake Road and Boone Avenue and would be four feet high by 20 feet long. The secondary sign would be located along the Woodbridge Cooperative driveway and would be 2.75 feet high by 13.3 feet long, and would identify both buildings. Both signs are compliant with code. The building elevations illustrate a four-story building, with attractive exterior colors and aesthetic appeal. Asphalt shingles would be placed on the roof and the balance of the building would be a cement plaster material in a variety of building textures. There are a number of retaining walls located on the site - near the entrance drive into the site and garage area, as well as along the south property line. The retaining walls were necessary to hold slope and establish elevations for the parking areas. All retaining walls exceeding four feet in height must be engineered walls and approved by the City Engineer and Building Official. A guardrail would be placed along the top of the wall at the south parking lot to protect cars and pedestrians from injury or falling over Planning Commission Meeting 5 May 6, 2003 the side of the wall. The guardrail also needs to be approved by the Building Official. The landscaping plan illustrated a generous number of plantings in an aesthetic arrangement. Additional plantings have been added along the south wall to provide a break up of the wall massing to the south. Brixius stated that staff felt the plantings would be adequate. A number of mature trees would be preserved. The site would be irrigated. A lighting plan has been provided, which meets the minimum requirements of the City Code. Engineering recommendations to be considered on the lot division include: joint easements provided for water main, storm sewer and ingress/egress appear to adequately cover facilities shared by both properties; future alignment of Bass Lake Road is being reviewed with Hennepin County, which may require a nominal additional easement; recommendations on the site plan include: 18-foot parking stalls; no curb cut at the emergency access from Bass Lake Road; snow removal procedures on the emergency access; recommendations on the .qradin,q and draina,qe plan include: evaluate foundations and adjacent structures prior to construction of underground parking and other earthwork; sideslope on the south side of the building is shown at 3:1 and it was suggested that a retaining wall be utilized or look at other options; engineered design of retaining walls to be provided prior to construction; a request was receive to store excavated soils on the city-owned property at 5501 Boone Avenue from June to October which would be agreeable provided that erosion control is maintained in the stockpile, the temporary pile is left in a neat manner, the location and height is reviewed with the City Engineer, and in the event the City would develop the property during the summer months, the stockpile would be removed from the lot. The utility plan depicts an eight-inch water main connection and the loop would be reconstructed to clear the proposed building pad with a new lead from Bass Lake Road to be constructed in the east side of the building. The applicant should identify where domestic service enters the building and include a shut off valve on the exterior of the building for fire and domestic services, and include a gate valve with hydrant D. Coordinate with the Public Works Department on the repair of a gate valve leak in the east service line. The water service for irrigation and for the site water feature must be from the building per the plumbing code. A six-inch sanitary sewer service is shown from the building to Boone Avenue. A new manhole is proposed over the existing sanitary sewer. Boone Avenue pavement should be patched to match the existing pavement thickness after work in the street is completed. The storm sewer would be connected to existing along the south property line. It appears the system would adequately convey a 10-year storm. Recommendation was made that the trench drain near the garage entrance be sized for a 100-year event to that specific subdrainage basin. Flooding impacts should be discussed. Review capacity of the eight-inch storm sewer along the south property line. The applicant would be required to pay a cash fee toward regional improvements in lieu of on site improvements. Brixius added that the Police Department requested lighting on the rear of the building and all lighting has been identified and levels are compliant at the property lines. Brixius commented that the applicant had been willing to make all revisions as suggested by staff and the Design & Review Committee. Staff was recommending approval subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. Commissioner Bardck questioned the land use to the east of the site, which is an apartment complex with the garages located along the adjoining property line. Due to the fact that the area between the garages and new building appeared to be dark, the Police Department requested lighting for security of the ground-level apartments. There are no windows or other access on the back of the garages. Planning Commission Meeting 6 May 6, 2003 Svendsen questioned whether the City Engineer had anything else to add. Mr. Vince VanderTop stated that the applicant had incorporated all recommendations into the revised plans. The sanitary sewer connection in Boone Avenue was shown accurately. Mr. Ron Anderson came forward and stated that he and his wife, Mindy Pattee, were the co-owners of Chardon Court and the whole site. Ms. Pattee is the co-owner and chief administrator at North Ridge and is very familiar with senior services and is site manager of Chardon Court. Anderson introduced the development team: Fred Katter, consultant with Pineapple Management, John Krausert, civil engineer with Rehder & Associates, Troy Fountain, architect, Jim Beckwith, Kraus Anderson Construction Company is the general contractor, and Jack Comings with Coldwell Banker Burnet heads the onsite sales team. Mr. Anderson stated that the area shown as "future" on the plans constitutes the underground parking. It may be possible in the future that the cooperative corporation could ask to extend the roof or place a patio in that location. The area on the plan intended to show the farthest point that would satisfy the setback requirements. No further units would be proposed. Mr. Anderson commended staff for the great working relationship and strong advocates of this project. He reported that they looked at the Life Cycle Housing Study completed several years ago and tried to determine what the best use of the vacant portion of the site would be. They worked closely with city staff to develop a concept, commissioned market studies, and determined that a senior cooperative seemed to be the best use of this site. They are aware of the aging population of the community and the need for housing for this segment of the population. The finest development team was assembled to design the project, which will be a significant contribution to the City. Commissioner Brauch complemented the petitioner on the project and stated he felt it met the future needs of the City, which were identified in the Comprehensive Plan. Brauch stressed that the collective number of units for the property was at the limit and no additional units would be allowed in the future, which was acceptable to the petitioner. Brauch stated that he felt all issues of the Design & Review Committee had been addressed in the revised plans. Svendsen questioned whether there was any public parking allowed on Bass Lake Road and was told no parking was allowed there. He questioned whether the snow storage on the property had been properly addressed with the revised plans and the City Engineer stated that the issue had been resolved through snow removal from the site. He also questioned whether an additional manhole had been added to accommodate hydrant flushing and this was confirmed. Commissioner Hemken asked for the price range of the units. Anderson stated that prices would range from the Iow $100,000s to $175,000 or $180,000. Commissioner Buggy wondered where the visitor parking would be located or if visitors were expected to park along Boone Avenue. Anderson responded that there would be only one staff person for the Woodbridge building and there are two staff people for the Chardon Court building, so there should be a sufficient number of stalls in the parking lot for visitors. Brauch raised the issue of the van accessible parking stall that was originally Planning Commission Meeting 7 May 6, 2003 shown in the underground parking area. At the Design & Review meeting, it was discovered that the garage door would not be of sufficient height for the van. The Building Official indicated that the Minnesota State Building Code would allow the van accessible parking stall to be located in the outdoor parking area. Buggy disclosed that he was a licensed real estate agent whose license was held with Coldwell Banker Bumet and asked the City Attorney whether there would be any conflict of interests due to the fact that Mr. Anderson was an executive with Coldwell Banker Bumet. The City Attorney replied that there should be no conflict of interest unless Buggy had a direct financial interest in the proposed plan, which he does not. McDonald pointed out that the City had received a letter from the petitioner stating the age of the occupants would be 55 years or older. The density issue for the variance was discovered too late for publication to hold the public hearing at this meeting, therefore, the public hearing on the variance would be held at the May 27 City-Council meeting. The Planning Commission should make its recommendations on the variance. The Planning Commission should have the petitioner discuss the timeline of the project. Svendsen called attention to the discrepancy of plantings shown on the plans and listed on the plant schedule at the time of the Design & Review meeting. Anderson answered that this had been corrected on the revised plans. He questioned whether the guardrail on the retaining wall was adequate to prevent a car from going over the wall. Mr. John Krausert approached the podium and stated that the guardrail was not engineered, but the design was based on previous experience. He stated that an engineered design could be provided, if requested. Commissioner Anderson questioned whether the City Attorney had reviewed the easements and whether or not the easements would identify who would maintain the easements. The City Attorney stated he would be reviewing the easements for the City and not for the applicant. The City would not be responsible for the maintenance of the easements. The easements would be drawn up to ensure that each property had a right to use the easement to get in and out of the respective properties. There was some discussion on what would happen if ownership changed. The petitioner stated that they could create a maintenance agreement that would be presented with the declaration documents. The City Attorney indicated that it was wise to have a maintenance agreement that cleady spelled out who was responsible for what as it related to the property owners. The City would not get involved in a dispute between the property owners. Svendsen asked whether there was anyone in the audience who wished to address the Commission. No one in the audience wished to address the Commission, therefore, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Anderson stated that they would begin presales immediately upon approval and they require 50% would be sold prior to breaking ground. Assuming that the presale requirement could be met within 60 days or so, they would be able to start construction in August and deliver units in July or August of 2004. Motion by Commissioner Brauch, seconded by Commissioner Buggy, to close the public hearing. All in favor. Motion carried. MOTION Motion by Commissioner Brauch, seconded by Commissioner Hemken, to Planning Commission Meeting 8 May 6, 2003 Item 4.2 approve Planning Case 03-05, Request for Site/Building Plan Review, Subdivision of an Existing Lot, and Variance to Lot Area Per Unit Requirement, 5700 Boone Avenue North, Anderson Pattee Realty Services, Petitioner, subject to the following conditions: 1.

Anderson, Barrick, Brauch, Buggy, Hemken Svendsen None Landy, Oelkers, O'Brien Svendsen stated that this planning case would be considered by the City Council on May 27 and advised the petitioner to attend. He stated that the City was looking forward to this development and thanked him for the investment in the community. PC02-02 Item 4.3 Vice Chairman Svendsen introduced for discussion Item 4.3, Consideration of An Ordinance Amending Chapter 6 of the New Hope City Code by Establishing Regulations for Transit Structures on Public Rights of Way, City of New Hope, Petitioner. Ms. Erin Seeman, Community Development Intern, explained that the ordinance amended language in the City Code to permit and regulate transit structures, which included courtesy benches and transit shelters in the right- of-way. In January 2002, the City was approached by a representative of Outdoor Promotions, based in Colorado, who installs bus shelters free of charge in exchange for the revenue generated from the advertisements on the shelters. The company works with many cities across the country, including Las Vegas and San Diego, and are currently working on 18 - 24 contracts in the Twin Cities area, including Roseville, Hopkins, and St. Paul. The cost is about $10-12,000 per shelter built by Outdoor Promotions and the City chooses the style and color of the shelters. Outdoor Promotions would like to work with Metro Transit on this project. Metro Transit cannot afford to install shelters in cities at this time. Metro Transit has corresponded with the City and stated that they would be interested in working with Outdoor Promotions on current locations and possibly adding more. All maintenance is done regularly or whenever needed on the shelters by Outdoor Promotions, and if the transit routes change, the transit shelters can be moved. A transportation analysis is performed and they help the City identify the sites. Seeman stated that the first step would be to create the ordinance. The Codes & Standards Committee has been reviewing this issue since early 2002. Next, the contracts would be created and the sites determined. Outdoor Promotions Planning Commission Meeting 9 May 6, 2003 made a presentation to the Codes & Standards Committee and city staff. The Committee was supportive of the program and felt it would be a cost-effective way to improve transit stop amenities in the City. The issue was taken to the City Council last summer and the Council directed staff to continue working with Outdoor Promotions. In November 2002, a presentation was made at the Citizens Advisory Commission meeting, and at the direction of the City Council, a public open house will be held at the May 2003 CAC meeting regarding potential locations of the shelters. The City does not have any standards regulating the plaCement of private transit shelters. Due to the public service that the shelters serve, and the fact hat MTC cannot financially add more shelters to the City or maintain them, discussions began about amending the current courtesy bench ordinance to include transit shelters. In 1999, the City amended the code to include courtesy benches. Staff and the Codes & Standards Committee are recommending to further amend the ordinance to include transit shelters as a permitted use. Transit structures would be the result of the combination of the shelters and benches in the ordinance. Seeman explained that the Planning Consultant recommended that the location of the structure would be set back at least three feet from the back of the curb; structures are not to encroach onto existing sidewalks; written consent from the property owner was needed if placed on private property; minimum clearance of six feet from the back of the transit structure to any structure or landscaping along any sidewalk for snow removal; transit structures with advertising are to be placed within three feet of the public right- of-way; maximum length for a structure is 15 feet; shelters should be located off any public sidewalk; Provision 3.b should delete the phrase "less than nine feet in width" and read as "on public sidewalks or on private sidewalks or trails without consent of the property owner." This would not allow for any transit shelters on an existing sidewalk. The City Attorney reviewed this ordinance and recommended changes as follows: language be added indicating advertising signage on shelters may consist of a single advertising panel not to exceed 22 square feet in surface area; language added indicating consent from a property owner for placement of a structure on private property must be in the form of a recordable easement or license agreement; transit shelters may not be installed on any existing sidewalk; maximum length would be 15 feet; and language added indicating the surface in front of the structure to the back of the curb must extend across the entire width of the transit structure and provide for a five- foot by eight-foot landing area designated to accommodate disability access to buses, including a chair lift landing space. Seeman added that city staff and the Codes & Standards Committee were supportive of amending the Zoning Code to allow transit structures in all zoning districts as a permitted use. The next step would be to finalize the contract with Outdoor Promotions and deciding on specific locations for the shelters in the City. Seeman reiterated that May 19 would be the CAC public open house. Approximately 75 property owners in close proximity to the transit shelter locations would be invited to the open house to give input on the ordinance. Commissioner Svendsen suggested adding the words "ADA compliant" to the construction section 6.16(h)(3) of the ordinance. A photo was shown of a current structure with a railroad tie retaining wall around the base of the structure. He then called attention to section 6.16(i)(1) Removal of Transit Structures and whether the words "concrete slab..." should be replaced with language similar to "remove any material placed for the use of the structure." Svensden pointed out that Outdoor Promotions' contract Article II, Paragraph 2, dealt with maintenance and trash removal and wondered if the city's Planning Commission Meeting 10 May 6, 2003 ordinance should include language regarding trash removal. He recommended that the City include language requiring all transit structures to post an emergency contact sign, similar to cellular towers. Commissioner Brauch questioned the length of the permit. Seeman answered that the permit would extend for 10 years and be renewable after that time. The permit could also be revoked at the city's discretion. Brauch wondered whether this would be a revenue generating venture. Seeman pointed out that Article III in Outdoor Promotions' contract stated that after the third year of the Agreement that payments would be made to the City in the form of transit amenities, cash or maintenance services. The monthly equivalent would equal approximately eight percent. Brauch felt that this would be a good opportunity due to the budget difficulties faced by the City. Concern was raised on the type of advertising that could be displayed on the shelters. Article II, paragraph 4 discusses types of advertising. Seeman informed the Commission of the three-sided advertising kiosk in the structure, two sides for Outdoor Promotions paid advertising and one side for public service announcements. The City Attorney interjected that Section 3b needed to be changed to say a "triangular three-sided panel not exceeding 22 square feet surface area per panel. The panel adjacent to the sidewalk shall be dedicated to public service advertising." The City can control advertising with regard to time, place, and manner restriction, but the City cannot control content. The content of the advertising cannot be controlled by the City because that may prohibit commercial free speech issues. Outdoor Promotions could choose what advertising it installs in the transit shelters. With this kind of amenity, residents may have to put up with some advertising that on a case-by-case basis may not be appropriate depending on each person's viewpoint. It was pointed out that there is a clause in the contract that, with a written request by the City, Outdoor Promotions would within 48 hours take down any offensive advertising as requested. Buggy questioned whether the advertising kiosks in all structures would be three panels, or two, or one, and a recommendation was made that there be no more than three surfaces with a maximum advertising space of 22 square feet per surface. Commissioner Anderson wondered whether staff had talked to other cities where Outdoor Promotions has existing structures. McDonald responded that Roseville had several structures and was satisfied with Outdoor Promotions. This company was also working with Minnetonka, Hopkins and St. Louis Park. Golden Valley, Crystal and Robbinsdale are waiting until after New Hope finishes its work with the company. Hemken remarked that she had seen some of the structures and panels in Colorado, which looked nice. Svendsen called attention to the possible location at 42n~ and Xylon where the structure would need to be built into the retaining wall on private property. An easement would need to be signed by the property owner. He wondered whether it would be feasible to bring the structure closer to the street and have bus riders enter the shelter from the back and have pedestrians go around the structure. Brixius interjected that Public Works was concerned with snow plowing and possible damage to the structures if they were placed closer to the street curb. Seeman added that the Building Official indicated that if the shelter would be turned with the glass toward the street, the ADA pad would not be accessible from the front of the shelter. Commissioner Barrick pointed out that section 6.16(d)(3)(b) dealing with the sidewalks less than nine feet in width was to be removed because it was not consistent with 6.16(h)(1) where it mentions a six-foot minimum clearance from the back of the structure. Planning Commission Meeting 11 May 6, 2003 MOTION Item 4.3 Motion by Commissioner Hemken, seconded by Commissioner Barrick, to approve Planning Case 02-02, Consideration of An Ordinance Amending Chapter 6 of the New Hope City Code by Establishing Regulations for Transit Structures on Public Rights of Way, City of New Hope, Petitioner, subject to the following conditions: 1.

Add verbiage regarding the contact information 5. Add panel size and number of panels 6. Section 6.16(d)(3)(b) change nine-foot sidewalk comment all Voting in favor: Voting against: Absent: Motion passed. Anderson, Barrick, Brauch, Buggy, Hemken, Svendsen None Landy, Oelkers, O'Brien Svendsen stated that this planning case would be considered by the City Council on May 27. PC02-23 Item 4.4 Vice Chairman Svendsen introduced for discussion Item 4.4, Ordinance No. 03-02, Consideration of An Ordinance Establishing Commercial Animal Kennels and Animal Day Care Facilities as Conditional uses in the Industrial Zoning District, and Ordinance No. 03-06, An Ordinance Amending Chapter 7 of the New Hope City Code Licensing Dog Kennels and Cat Shelters, City of New Hope, Petitioner. Mr. Alan Brixius, Planning Consultant, explained that Codes & Standards and city staff and consultants have studied this ordinance for several months. It began in October 2002 when the City Council approved an interim moratorium ordinance on the establishment of dog kennels and cat shelter and directed staff to explore this issue from both a zoning and licensing context. An application for a dog day care facility in a commercial shopping center raised issue based on the age of the shopping center and the mix of tenants and whether this was the appropriate place for that type of facility. Concerns with regard to odors, noise, bacteria, etc. were flagged by staff. The current ordinance stipulates that the only place a dog kennel or day care facility could be located was in the Community Business District. Upon review, staff determined that the best place for these types of uses would be in the Industrial District, which would offer a degree of isolation and the space for the overall operation. The Zoning Ordinance would allow animal day care as a conditional use within the Industrial District. Consultants, Codes & Standards, and city staff members were included in the ordinance changes, including Dr. Pierce Fleming, owner of Plymouth Heights Pet Hospital, who would be relocating his business to 9200 49~h Avenue. Brixius stated that these would be conditional uses within the Industrial Zoning District. Provision (a) establishes floor space of 75 square feet per dog and 20 square feet per cat or other small animal. This was at the suggestion of Dr. Fleming. Office space, storage, and ancillary use space would be excluded from this provision. One cage per animal must be provided for separation. Svendsen questioned whether there was a need to specify dog or cat, and just state large or small animal. The City Attorney stated he did not agree with a language change to define animals by weight, due to the fact that small dogs under 20 pounds would then not be allotted the proper 75 square feet of floor area. Buggy interjected that he remembered discussion at the Committee meeting about including "any other 'companion' animal," which would include animals such as ferrets, rabbits, or other small Planning Commission Meeting 12 May 6, 2003 animals kept in the home as a pet. The consensus was to leave this section 4- 20(e)(16)(a) as is. In provision (b), Brixius stated that when this issue was previous discussed by the Planning Commission, that it was recommended that ancillary services be included. Provision (c) recognizes that the exercise area must be 100 square feet in size for each animal that occupies that area at any one time. This was suggested by the Animal Control Officer. The outdoor exercise area must be fenced, have a three-foot vegetative buffer, must be cleaned regularly, and any animal waste must be appropriately treated before it is allowed to enter any storm water pond or sewer. Discussion ensued regarding the square footage of the indoor exercise area, and the consensus was that the area as stated in the ordinance would be appropriate. Provision (d) requires a ventilation system that prohibits the transmission of odors or organisms between tenant bays. The ventilation system must be capable of completely exchanging internal air at a rate of 1.00 cfm/square foot of floor space per area dedicated for the keeping of animals exclusive of offices pursuant to Chapter 1346 of the Minnesota State Building Code. An air exchange analysis could be completed and submitted to the City to demonstrate that an existing air exchange system would function in the same manner. The air temperature must be maintained between 60° and 80° Fahrenheit. The range of temperatures was taken from the Best Management Guidelines from the Department of Agriculture. McDonald stated that he had been forwarded an email from Commissioner O'Brien, who could not be in attendance at this meeting, who identified concern over the enforcement of another agency's standards, in this case the Minnesota State Building Code. Previously, in another matter, there was discussion among the commissioners regarding utilizing another agencies codes in New Hope ordinances. The City Attorney stated that there was no problem referencing another agencies code or statute, which was common practice. As other agency's codes change, the City would need to continually amend its code to address changes. The City cannot insed into its code a blanket statement to cover any of these types of situations. Svendsen questioned whether a stand-alone building would be exempt it from a ventilation system. Brixius responded that the design standards in a stand-alone building typically utilize an even greater air exchange rate. Provision (e) provides for a reom or caged area where sick or injured animals may be adequately separated from healthy animals. Provision (f) deals with the requirement that wall finish materials below 48 inches in height be of a washable sealed masonry, ceramic tile, glassboard, or marlite. Floor finish should be sealed concrete or other approved impervious surface. Liquid-tight curbing, at least six inches high, should be installed along shared walls for sanitary confinement and water wash-down cleaning. Provision (g) deals with animal wastes being cleaned up immediately and properly disposed of daily. Provision (h) deals with the licensing of the facilities per-Section 7-4 of the City Code. Provision (i) states that the property owner provide the City with at least 14 days' notice of the animal kennel/day care's intention to vacate the premises and allow a city inspection. The concern of the Codes & Standards Committee was that the business may vacate the facility in a less than sanitary condition. Provision (j) states that the facility must provide sufficient, uniformly distributed lighting to the kennel area. Provision (k) states that veterinary clinics that board ten or fewer animals and pet stores are exempt from this conditional use permit requirement. Brixius reported that the other veterinary clinics in the City are not located in an Industrial District, and some of them have limited boarding. Section 2 indicates that veterinary clinics that board without treatment fewer than ten animals in a 24-hour period would be a permitted use. This ordinance was designed so that existing veterinary clinics Planning Commission Meeting 13 May 6, 2003 would conform to this code. A question was raised whether or not the City could preclude specific businesses, such as the breeding or testing or animals. The City Attomey replied that a legitimate business could not be zoned out of the City. This ordinance amendment was basically a refinement of what was already in the Zoning Code. The licensing ordinance pertains somewhat to the type of animal allowed in the City. There is a restriction on the number of animals a residential property could have. Svendsen suggested that the title for section 4-20(e)(16) read "Animal Kennels and Animal Day Care," so it would be consistent with Chapter 7. He also called attention to section 4-2 Definitions which should be changed from dog kennel to animal kennel. Brauch questioned whether there was a specified number of employees that should be on site during the day, and was informed that that requirement was moved into the licensing requirements. Brixius explained that the title for section 7-4 was changed from "Dog Kennels and Cat Shelters" to "Animal Kennels and Animal Day Care." He further explained that the licensing ordinance states no person shall operate without a license, the Community Business District was eliminated and the Industrial District was inserted, license fee would be established by Chapter 14, license expiration would be on December 31 of each year, license would be non- transferable, standards include a fenced area, provision of sanitary conditions, animals must be kept indoors from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., and at least one staff person at the facility during regular business hours. Discussion ensued on the number of staff required and the Commission was informed that Dr. Fleming had suggested that each business be allowed to determine the number of staff needed. Standards are also provided in the ordinance for revocation of license, as well as inspections by city authorities. Brixius maintained that the two ordinance amendments were intertwined and through the licensing procedures the City could review the business on an annual basis, whereas, a conditional use permit was attached to the land. Buggy initiated discussion on the exercising of animals in the specified area as opposed to walking the animals. The City Attorney interjected that there was a leash law that prohibited animal owners or handler from letting animals run at large, so in the event animals were walked, they would have to be leashed. Brauch commended the Codes & Standards Committee, consultants, and staff on all the work that went into these two ordinances. MOTION Item 4.4 Motion by Commissioner Barrick, seconded by Commissioner Buggy, to approve Planning Case 02-23, Ordinance No. 03-02, An Ordinance Establishing Commercial Animal Kennels and Animal Day Care Facilities as Conditional Uses in the Industrial Zoning District, and Ordinance No. 03-06, An Ordinance Amending Chapter 7 of the New Hope City Code Licensing Dog Kennels and Cat Shelters, City of New Hope, Petitioner, subject to the following revisions: 1.

Mayor Enck introduced for discussion Item 7.1, Resolution Approving Purchase Agreement with Plymouth Heights Pet Hospital for Sale of 9200 49th Avenue North Property (Improvement Project No. 743). Mr. Kirk McDonald, Director of Community Development, indicated a public hearing is required for the sale of a portion of the city-owned property at 9200 49th Avenue to Plymouth Heights Pet Hospital. At the conclusion of the public hearing, staff requests that the Council approve the purchase agreement with Plymouth Heights Pet Hospital for the sale of the 9200 49th Avenue North property for $81,000. The sale and development of this property is consistent with the priority goals stated in the City Plan and meets several of the city-wide, commercial and industrial goals stated in the Comprehensive Plan. One of the goals of Planning District #3 of the Comprehensive Plan, in which this properly is located, specifically states "promote industrial infill development of the remaining vacant parcels on 49th Avenue." He noted a condition of the purchase agreement is that the Plymouth Heights Pet Hospital will submit development plans. He stated the closing will take place by July 31, 2003. Mayor Enck welcomed the new property owners to the City of New Hope. Motion was made by Councilmember Gwin-Lenth, seconded by Councilmember Sommer, to close the Public Hearing. All present voted in favor. Motion carried.

Mayor Enck introduced for discussion Item 8.1, Planning Case 03-05, Request for 8-foot Variance to the 25-Foot Front Yard Setback Requirement to Allow Construction of a 23' x 29' Attached Garage to the Existing Home and Curb Cut Variance to Place the Driveway Closer than 40 Feet from the Property Line Adjacent to an Intersection, 3853 Hillsboro Avenue North, Susan Pfeilsticker, Petitioner. Mr. Kirk McDonald, Director of Community Development, stated the petitioner is requesting two minor variances for a house addition. The Planning Commission considered the request at its meeting of May 6 and recommended approval. He explained that the proposed addition is 23' x 29' or 667 square feet. The petitioner intends to convert the existing garage into living space and add a double attached garage at the end of the house. The Comprehensive Plan supports reinvestment in single-family homes. Mr. McDonald stated there is an existing five-foot drainage and utility easement on the south side yard and west (rear) yard property lines. The proposed addition will not impact the easements. He reported that the city engineer had noted that a significant backyard drainage swale along the south property line drains the backyards of neighboring properties and must remain open. Mr. McDonald stated the property owner's desire to construct the addition on the side lot abutting Independence Avenue. The addition will encroach into the "defined" front yard setback area and the new driveway curb cut will be located closer to the intersection than allowed by code resulting in the two variance requests (an 8-foot variance to the 25-foot front yard setback requirement and curb cut variance to place the driveway closer than 40 feet from the property line adjacent to an intersection). He briefly reviewed other driveway options considered by the petitioner that were determined to be undesirable due to safety issues. Property owners within 350 feet of the property were notified and there were no objections to the proposed addition. Mr. 0McDonald stated the Public Works Department would support a curb cut variance for the proposed driveway as long as it is documented that the applicant is aware of the additional amount of snow that will accumulate at the end of the driveway during snow events. He noted the plowing procedures and design of the snowplow trucks result in additional snow being deposited on the boulevards after the snowplow makes right-hand tums at intersections. Ms. Susan Pfeilsticker, property owner of 3853 Hillsboro Avenue North, was recognized. She stated her intention to re-roof and re-side the entire structure. She agreed to comply with the conditions contained in the resolution (materials of addition will match existing home and city code regulations will be followed for plantings in site triangle area). Ms. Pfeilsticker also acknowledged her understanding of the snowplow issue. Mayor Enck conmaended Ms. Pfeilsticker on her willingness to make improvements to her property. Councilmember Cassen introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: "RESOLUTION APPROVING, PLANNING CASE 03-05, REQUEST FOR 8-FOOT VARIANCE TO THE 25-FOOT FRONT YARD May 12, 2003 CONTRIBUTION Item 11.1 MOTION Item 11.1 CONSENT ITEMS REMOVED THREE RIVERS PARK DISTRICT Item 6.4 RESOLUTION 03-78 Item 6.4 IMP.

Mayor Enck reported that this year's safety camp will take place on August 12-14, 2003. He noted the worthiness of the program and that it would not be possible without community donations. On behalf of the city council, he conveyed appreciation to the West Metro Relief Association and city staff for their efforts in organizing the annual event. Motion was made by Councilmember Collier, seconded by Councilmember Gwin- Lenth, to accept the contribution of $1,250 from West Metro Relief Association for the Safety Camp Program. All present voted in favor. Motion carried. Mayor Enck introduced for discussion the Consent Items which were removed, Item 6.4, Resolution Accepting Amended Memorandum of Agreement with Three Rivers Park District Regarding Golf Course. Councilmember Cassen recalled that during budget discussions last year, the Council directed the Park and Recreation Director to increase green fees. She noted discussion was also held regarding a requirement of league participants to guarantee payment of green fees, but isn't aware of any changes in league policies. She noted golf course revenue was down approximately 25% last year. Mr. Donahue stated he would report back on the plan that was instituted. Councilmember Cassen suggested discussing the issue at a future work session if necessary. Councilmember Cassen introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: "RESOLUTION ACCEPTING AMENDED MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT WITH THREE RIVERS PARK DISTRICT REGARDING GOLF COURSE". The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was seconded by Councilmember Gwin-Lenth, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Enck, Cassen, Collier, Gwin-Lenth, Sommer; and the following voted against the same: None; Abstained: None; Absent: None; whereupon the resolution was declared duly passed and adopted~ signed by the mayor which was attested to by the city clerk. Mayor Enck introduced for discussion item 6.5, Resolution Approving Bid from U.S. Filter Control Systems, Inc. for Replacement of Sanita~ Sewer Lift Station Control Panels and Telemetry Modifications (Improvement Project No. 735). Mayor Enck pointed out that the base bid of $44,546 covers replacement of the lift station panels at two lift stations (7916 602 Avenue North and 5601 International Parkway). He inquired whether the Public Works Director believes $17,580 is a fair price for the lift station at 4001 Jordan Avenue North that was bid as Alternate May 12, 2003 RESOLUTION 03-79 Item 6.5 CITY COMMUNICATIONS Item 12.1 COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS Item 12.2 No. 1. He called attention to the savings that could be realized if the work for all three was undertaken simultaneously. Mr. Dan Donahue, City Manager, stated funding will be drawn from the sanitary sewer fund, and the amount exceeding $60,000 could be paid through reserves. Mr. Guy Johnson, Director of Public Works, stated the bid for Alternate No. 1 was not being recommended as the capital improvement program contains only $60,000 for this project. He pointed out a cost savings of $3,500-4,500 could be achieved by awarding Alternate No. 1 and doing the work this year. He stated staff proposes to replace two lift stations per year as the equipment is becoming dated and requiring replacement. He estimated the cost of replacing three lift station control panels would be $13,000 over budget including engineering soft costs. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Donahue concurred that they would support awarding the bid for Alternate No. 1 due to the cost savings. Councilmember Gwin-Lenth introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: "RESOLUTION AWARDING CONTRACT TO U.S. FILTER CONTROL SYSTEMS, INC. FOR REPLACEMENT OF SANITARY SEWER LIFT STATION CONTROL PANELS AND TELEMETRY MODIFICATIONS AT 7916 60TM AVENUE, 5601 INTERNATIONAL PARKWAY, AND 4001 JORDAN AVENUE NORTH (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 735) FOR $62,126.00".

All present voted in favor. Motion carried. President Enck introduced for discussion Item 4, Resolution Releasing Second Mortgage in Favor of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of New Hope on Property at 3625 Flag Avenue North. Mr. Kirk McDonald, Director of Community Development, stated in 1982 the city's Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HR.A) purchased 3625 Flag Avenue North as rental property. The HRA owned several single-family homes and rented them to low and moderate income households. In the late 1980's the city discontinued the program and sold the homes. In February of 1988, the city sold 3625 Flag Avenue to Mark and Kathleen Pupeza. As part of the purchase price, the I-IRA held a second mortgage in the amount of $20,100. The second mortgage note provided that the loan would be forgiven in its entirety if the buyers owned and occupied the property for a period of fifteen years from the date of closing. Mark and Kathleen Pupeza have satisfied the terms of the second mortgage note and have requested release of the second mortgage. Commissioner Cassen pointed out that current housing programs no longer forgive second mortgages. Commissioner Gwin-Lenth questioned the powers of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and the Economic Development Authority (EDA). She noted the original transaction for the 3625 Flag property was authorized by the HRA. Mr. McDonald explained that the City Council and the HRA were the original governing bodies and in 1989 state statutes allowed the creation of an Economic Development Authority (EDA) with broader authority than the HRA. City Attorney Sondrall noted the EDA assumed the HRA's responsibilities. Commissioner Collier introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption "RESOLUTION RELEASING SECOND MORTGAGE IN FAVOR OF THE HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY IN AND FOR THE CITY OF NEW HOPE ON PROPERTY AT 3625 FLAG AVENUE NORTH". The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was seconded by Commissioner Cassen, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in May 12, 2003 IMP. PROJECT 707 Item 5 favor thereof: Enck, Cassen, Collier, Gwin-Lenth, Sommer; and the following voted against the same: None; Abstained: None; Absent: None; whereupon the resolution was declared duly passed and adopted, signed by the president which was attested to by the executive director. President Enck introduced for discussion Item 5, Resolution Approving Bass Lake Road Apartments Housing Development Agreement, Regulatory and Operating Agreement and Property Management Agreement for the PPL/Bass Lake Apartments Project at 7610 Bass Lake Road and Authorizing the President and Executive Director to Sign Said Agreements (Improvement Project No. 707). Mr. Kirk McDonald, Director of Community Development, explained that the agreements are the final paperwork for this project. He noted the documents are required by HUD and the MPHA to permit funding of the project. The agreements are similar to the agreements processed for the Bass Lake Court Townhomes project in 1998. Commissioner Gwin-Lenth initiated discussion regarding requirements for an on- site manager for the property. Mr. Steve Sondrall, City Attorney, explained that the project involves 11 units and the city has not required an on-site property manager. He noted the Bass Lake Apartment Housing Development property will be overseen by the on-site manager at the Bass Lake Court Townhomes. Mr. McDonald indicated PPL is aware of the city's expectations and the property has already formed a neighborhood watch program through the police department. Commissioner Collier commented that the last time the EDA discussed the 7610 Bass Lake Road property was during the transition of the on-site manager for Bass Lake Court Townhomes. Mr. McDonald interjected that there are now two caretakers and an on-site manager at Bass Lake Court Townhomes. Commissioner Sommer inquired regarding the reserves in the PPL contract as the city's redevelopment investment is large. He noted the total loan of $233,000 is interest free for 30 years with collection of minimal property taxes. He inquired of assurance that the property would be properly maintained. Mr. Sondrall stated the Regulatory and Operating Agreement requires a reserve be established for an amount equal to three times the estimated annualized amount of the operating requirement. He noted the city is only involved with a small part of the loan transaction. The project will be closely monitored by the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). He stated the Cooperation Agreement stipulates that the city will not assess real estate taxes against the four MHOP units within the development for the entire 40-year exemption period. In lieu of real estate taxes, the owner will pay the EDA a PILOT. This amount will be calculated as 5% of the "shelter rent" which is approximately 30% of the income of the occupants of the four MHOP units. It was noted that the $223,000 loan includes $5,000 designated for playground equipment.
