PUBLIC 1TF.AR7NGS -None - Planning Commission Minutes September 20, 1995 Page 2 6. LAND USE/ACTION ITEMS A. Outpost Java Assistant Planner Kathy Bodmer introduced herself and identified the location of the proposed planned development rezoning conditional use permit and site plan/building permit. authorization for the Outpost Java drive-thru coffee kiosk. This proposal is for property located on the west side of the Target Greatland parking lot. The public hearing for the item was held on September 6, 1995. She will review the issues raised at the hearing and how they are addressed by the revised site plan which now has five stacking spaces for each coffee drive-thru lane, which have been delineated with paint striped lanes and directional signage. 1) Permanent Structure - Ms. Bodmer stated that the State Building Code does not have any definition for a permanent versus temporary structure. She noted. that the coffee kiosk had been referred to as a temporary structure because it was not fully plumbed. 2) Traffic Engineering - Ms. Bodmer noted that the petitioner in his submittal indicates that 17 parking stalls would be used up by the location of the coffee kiosk. The City's traffic engineer, however, has evaluated the site plan and believes. that up to 30 parking stalls will be lost during peak hour use. The traffic engineer's evaluation takes into account the fact that a number of the existing striped parking stalls in the parking aisles will not be usable when all five of the stacking spaces are occupied. 3) Tax Assessment - Ms. Bodmer noted that in her discussions with the Dakota County Tax Assessor, a separate property valuation and tax statement. would be issued for the coffee kiosk. if it were under separate ownership. However, since the site is simply being: leased from Target Greatland, any increase in property valuation. and associated property taxes would be tacked onto the Target Greatland property tax statement; the assessor believes this would be a very nominal change. 4) West Coast Examples - Ms. Bodmer noted that she had contacted the cities of Seattle, Washington and both Portland and Greshem, Oregon. She said that in those communities the only concern that arises has to do with circulation around the kiosk and the connections to the public roadway systems. She said that the planners in those communities said that these type of coffee kiosks are very prevalent, and that they are not aware of any problems from them. 5) Minnesota Department of Health - Ms. Bodmer stated that she has spoken with the local representative from the Minnesota Department of Health, and that they do not have any problem with the proposal as currently defined. The Department of Health will be sending a letter to the City verifying this. 6) OSHA Comments - Ms. Bodmer stated that a question had arisen concerning access of employees in the kiosk to restroom facilities. She said that discussion with OSHA staff indicated that with two employees present, if the. work rules allow one of the employees Planning Commission Minutes September 20, 1995 Page 3 to cover for the other while he/she leaves the building to use a remote restroom facility, there is no specific maximum distance to the restroom facility. Ms. Bodmer concluded by stating that at the previous Planning Commission meeting, the possible creation of a "Class III" restaurant category had been discussed to provide for these types of structures. Further discussions with the City Attorney's Office have concluded that this approach would not be desirable, and that instead the planned development ordinance should be specifically amended to address this type of restaurant use as a singular case, applicable to Zone 1 only. Ken Claussen of Outpost Enterprises then approached the Commission. He stated that he appreciated the thoroughness of the review, and that the recommended changes have resulted in a better product. Commissioner Swanson asked if the forthcoming Minnesota Department of Health letter would raise any issues that had not previously been discussed. Ms. Bodmer stated that the Department of Health letter would simply stipulate that their approval is contingent apon a continued association with an existing commissary facility, which is in this case the Target Greatland operation. Commissioner Blundetto questioned how the City would intend controlling the density or number of these uses within the parking lot. Ms. Bodmer stated that the rough draft ordinance included in the Planning Commission packet indicated that only one per parcel would be allowed, and that in addition to that,. the City might wish to include a specific lineal separation between such uses. Commissioner Blundetto asked Mr. Claussen about the landscape requirements. Mr. Claussen stated that his initial landscape plan was based on the recommendation from Bachman's he will comply with the changes. that the City Forester has. asked for. Commissioner Blundetto stated that he was still a little uncomfortable with the idea of having this use within the parking lot. He said that he does not want the parking lot to end up looking like Mille Lacs Lake, all covered with huts. Mr. Claussen stated that he was in agreement, and that Target Greatland wouldn't align themselves with a series of unattracted shacks scattered across their parking lot in any event. Commissioner Nagler asked if the landscape plan met the 2-1/2% value requirements. Ms. Bodmer stated that the information Staff had received indicates the landscaping does meet this requirement. Chair Edgeton noted that since this is a relatively small structure that probably does not carry a high value, a 2-1/2% landscape requirement might not result in enough landscaping. Ms. Bodmer stated that the City Forester had reviewed the plan and the proposed changes to it, and was comfortable with both the amount and type of plant selections made. Planning Commission Minutes September 20, 1995 Page 4 Commissioner Gowling asked what would happen if the business were not successful. Mr. Clausen stated that because it is a modular unit, it could physically be removed from the site in a matter of hours. Commissioner Blundetto asked what assurance the City would have that the building would not be converted to a drive-thru dry cleaner or some other use. City Attorney Annette Mazgazit noted that Item No. 5 in the proposed conditional use permit criteria specifically referenced use of the building for food and beverages. Mr. Claussen stated that the lease he is entering into with Target is only for the coffee business. Any other use would require an amendment to the lease and have to be approved by Tazget Greatland. Chair Edgeton and Commissioner Blundetto acknowledged the lease amendment requirements, but stated they would still like to have the City involved in the approval of any alternate use. There was a general discussion of other uses that might conceivably be located in such a small structure, and the potential problems that they might create. There was a general consensus, however, that there were no problems anyone could identify with the proposed coffee use. Commissioner Swanson questioned who would ultimately be responsible for removal of the building if the business were not successful, Target Greatiand or the. building owner? He asked if the conditional use permit conditions could be written tight enough,. both to limit other uses of the building and to require the removal of it if use as a coffee kiosk terminates. City Attorney Annette Margarit stated that the conditions could be written. in that fashion. Commissioner Nagler noted that Apple Valley had gone to great lengths to improve its ring route and install pedestrian amenities. She questioned whether another drive-thru use was really consistent with the City's attempts to encourage pedestrian activity. She also asked what would happen if a similar use were requested in other parking lots in the downtown commercial area. Ms. Bodmer noted that other requests would require further rezonings since this planned unit development was written to be quite specific. City Attorney Annette Margarit stated that if the City were requested to approve similar uses, the City would apply similar tests regarding the number of parking. stalls that would have to be removed, impacts on the internal traffic circulation patterns, and compa'abili~,r of building materials with existing structures. Commissioner Blundetto stated that he continues to be concerned about setting a precedent on this issue, although he is comfortable with the single proposal before them at this time. Chair Edgeton noted that the City is actually establishing more controls on this one particulaz use than it has on other "permanent" structures. Since this is a very small Planning Commission Minutes September 20, 1995 Page 5 building, it would be very easy to remove it if the business were not successful and the building were to be abandoned. By way of compazison, she noted that if one of the larger retailers, such as Target, went out of business, the City has very little control on how that building might be reused or how long it might be vacant. She said she was concerned, however, that the adjacent parcel owned by Best Buy Company would be eligible for a similaz use under the proposed planned development amendment. She would like to see the language changed so that only one such use per parking lot would be permitted. A general discussion ensued, and it was determined that the planned development language should be amended such that only one kiosk would be permissible within Zone 1. Commissioner Nagler noted that at the precious meeting, the proposed Class III Restaurant definition had more terms and restrictions than the proposed planned development amendment that they were looking at this evening. She asked if some additional restrictions might be appropriate. Commissioner Blundetto stated that some types of coffee drinks, such as Irish Coffee, have alcohol in them. He suggested a stipulation be added stating that no alcoholic beverages could be vended. Commissioner Swanson stated that the term "food" was quite wide open and suggested since the business intends to sell rolls and pastries that the word "pastries" be substituted. Chair Edgeton then went through each of the remaining conditions listed in the Staff memo to determine if any of the Commissioners had additional desired modifications. Commissioner Cowling asked about removal, and requested Staff to come up with language requiring the kiosk to be removed within 30 days if it was vacant. Mr. Clausen stated that would not be a problem. Commissioner Blundetto asked about signage. Mr. Clausen noted. that the elevation of the building illustrated a band on the top of the structure which had stenciled copy on all four sides identifying the kiosk as "Outpost Jaua." There would be no freestanding signs. Commissioner Nagler asked about the specific location of the landscaping. The landscape materials were called out to be located on each side of the structure. Commissioner Swanson asked about trash storage. Mr. Clausen stated that there would be a trash receptacle inside for use by the employees as they prepared the coffee and unpacked the pastries. He said if he desired, he could place a receptacle out of doors for use by customers. Commissioner Blundetto asked about snow removal. Mr. Clausen stated that initially they would expect that the contractor employed by Target Greatland would be able to easily remove the snow from around the structure and pazking lot. If, however, this Planning Commission Minutes September 20, 1995 Page 6 contractor does not do a good enough job removing snow and ice adjacent to the drive-up windows, Outpost Java will hire a second contractor to do the cleanup immediately adjacent to the doors and windows of the structure. Kathy Bodmer said the only outstanding issue at this time was the exterior building materials. There was a general discussion concerning use of brick in the downtown area. The consensus was that a laminated brick product was probably not an appropriate material for a modular structure such as this. MOTION: Member Blundetto moved, seconded by Member Swanson, to recommend approval of the planned unit development rezoning listing the coffee kiosk as a conditional use. The motion carried 5 - 0. MOTION: Member Blundetto moved, seconded by Member Swanson, to recommend approval of a conditional use permit for the coffee kiosk and for use of alternate exterior construction materials consisting of a dryvit material, matching the color and texture of the Target Greatland Store. The motion carried 5 - 0. MOTION: Member Blundetto moved, seconded by Member Swanson, to recommend approval of the site plan and building permit authorization. The motion carried 5 - 0. 6B, Academy Townhomes Commissioner Swanson stepped. down from the dais at this time.. Chair Edgeton noted that there were still several items unresolved. She asked if there was a significant amount of information necessary yet to be received before the Commission. could. act on the item. Assistant Planner Kathy Bodmer stated that the City was still missing some important information, and Staff would. not be comfortable in making a recommendation this evening with a large number of contingencies. Chair Edgeton then asked if there was any merit in discussing the issue at this time until that information was forthcoming. Ms. Bodmer stated that there were some revisions to the site plan that might be useful to review in order to give additional direction to the petitioner. Commissioner Nagler asked what actions were being requested of the Commission. Ms. Bodmer stated that the zoning is currently in place for multi-family use. T"ne proposal under review deals with the subdivision of the property to reconfigure lot lines and the site plan and building permit authorization. She said that the City has up to 120 days to review the subdivision and associated site plan. Chair Edgeton said that she was of two minds on the issue. She said that she does not want to discuss the issue in detail this evening, only to have to rehash it again in two weeks. On the other hand, a brief review and discussion could serve to give additional direction to the petitioner for the following meeting. Planning Commission Minutes September 20, 1995 Page 7 Ms. Bodmer stated that although the site is already zoned multi-family, the City does have some discretion in reviewing the proposed preliminary plat and lot configuration that is associated with the proposed site plan along with the conditional use permit concerning the exterior building materials. She noted that even the revised plan requires a substantial amount of grading on the site and associated tree removal. Chair Edgeton stated that it was important to remember the Commission could not say no to the townhome use, but. only can review the proposed layout for the townhomes. The discussion should center on the proposed configuration as it relates to the adopted development standards of the City. Commissioner Nagler said that she would like to see the layout this evening. so that if there are any serious disagreements with the developer, that can be communicated to him Kathy Bodmer then displayed a series of overhead transparencies that indicated the location of the development site north of 143rd Street at Heywood Avenue. The property is currently designated on the Comprehensive Plan for multi-family uses and is presently zoned under a planned unit development. The three northern. lots. were originally intended for 8-plex units, and the one southeasterly lot was intended fora 4-plex unit for a grand total of 28 dwelling. units. The revised site plan illustrates 22 townhome units in a row configuration. The site plan illustrates a dead end driveway on the east with emergency knock down barriers out tp the cul-de-sac of 142nd Street/Heritage Court. One of the two unit buildings located at the bottom of the slope on 143rd Street had been moved east in order to revise the grades to save some trees. Some setback deficiencies exist for the guest parking in the. northeast portion. of the site. The comments from the traffic engineer indicate that the access point has a wide open space which will be confusing to motorists. It does. not direct traffic very well. At a site inspection today the traffic engineer suggested that the plan be revised to extend the curb line of 142nd Street into the project driveway to create a true "T' intersection that causes traffic to slow down and directs it in a more clear fashion. The traffic engineer also felt that the dead end drive with the knock down emergency vehicle barriers did not solve the problem of large garbage and delivery trucks having to come into the townhouse area to serve them. Some type of turnaround is necessary at this end. The tree survey indicated that with the revised grades, four significant oak trees will be saved, and the forester has indicated that a few more adjacent to this area might also be saved wi±h carefial field work during constnetion activities. The previously discussed pedestrian and bike access across the north property has been reviewed with the Park Department, and they feel that while this may have been discussed in the past, in looking at the final development plans it seems that this link is not necessary. Based upon the number of trees now being proposed for removal, the tree preservation ordinance would require a total of 96 diameter inches of replacement plantings be made. The 2-1/2% landscape requirement, however, results in a total of 199 diameter inches of replacement trees being placed on the site, which is well above the minimum requirement of the tree preservation ordinance. Planning Commission Minutes September 20, 1995 Page 8 Ms. Bodmer also noted that the two neighbors to the north have indicated they did not wish the unconstructed portion of 142nd Street to be vacated in that they felt that it would increase the amount of property for which they were liable for and that their property taxes might increase. This issue is currently being reviewed by the City Attorney. Chair Edgeton asked that these issues be boiled down into a short list of needed information for the following meeting. Ms. Bodmer stated that: 1) A site plan indicating the revised "T" intersection access point and turnaround areas be presented. 2) A revised site plan illustrating. parking setbacks. being met. 3) The 142nd Street vacation issues addressed by the City Attorney's Office. Commissioner Blundetto stated that he wished a better map was available that illustrated exactly how the proposed site plan fits into the existing lots and house locations of the neighborhood. Chair Edgeton asked the developer if he had any additional items or questions at this time. The developer, Mark Hebert, approached the Commission. He stated that he wished to confirm that the primary issues were: 1) Revisions at the access point. 2) To deal with the 142nd. Street vacation issues. 3) Revisions at the east end to provide some type of turnaround for both emergency and service vehicles. Chair Edgeton asked if the 142nd Street vacation did not occur, whether or not the developer's project would continue to meet the 60% greenspace requirement. Mr. Hebert stated that he could probably drop one or two units and meet the 60% requirement, if the right-of-way were not vacated. Chair Edgeton stated that she believed the issues raised were enough to hold the item over for the subsequent meeting, and not take action this evening. She also noted that this was not a public hearing this evening, but that the City would continue to accept written comments from the neighbors during the next two weeks. Chair Edgeton then called for a recess at 8:17 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 8:25 p.m. Planning Commission Minutes September 20, 1995 Page 9 6C. Midway Bank Sign Setback Variance Assistant Planner Tom Lovelace introduced the item, which is for a setback variance for a ground sign on the northwest corner of Cedar Avenue and 143rd Street. Mr. Lovelace noted that the sign regulations require a ground sign to be set back 13 feet from a street right-of-way line, in this case, from the Cedar Avenue right-of-way line. The Midway Bank Building is located on a recently platted lot for which the Dakota County Highway Department has required a 1/2 right-of-way width of 100 feet. The standard requiring a 100 foot half right-of-way is a relatively recent requirement, with the existing. lots to the north and the south of the property having a one half right-of--way width of only 75 feet which was the old standard. Signs constructed on those properties at the 13 foot setback are therefore 25 feet closer to the roadway itself than this sign would be if it were to be constructed in conformance with the ordinance. Bruce Hilliard, the architect for Midway Bank, approached the Commission and said that they simply wanted to receive treatment equal to their neighbors. He said that even if the variance is approved to bring the sign up to the right-of-way line, their sign would still be 12 feet further back than their neighbors' signs. Commissioner Cowling referred to the Staff report which referred to the 10 foot wide drainage and utility easement adjacent to the road. Mr. Lovelace stated that because the proposed sign would be located within the City's drainage and utility easement,. we would need to have a letter agreement from Midway Bank making them responsible for the repair or replacement costs of the sign if construction of utilities within this easement necessitated. the removal of the sign. MOTIONS Member Cowling moved, seconded. by Member Nagler, to recommend. approval of the sign setback variance per the Staff report. The motion carried 5 - 0. Commissioner Blundetto complimented. the Midway Bank people on the beautiful appearance of the building. 7. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Sketch Plan for Fischer Marketplace Assistant Planner Tom Lovelace introduced the item which is the proposed development of the northeast corner of C.^,unty Road 42 and Galaxie Avenue, which has been occupied. by the Fischer Sand & Gravel mining and processing operation. The current Comprehensive Plan designation for this area is a mixture of Limited Business, General Business, and Light Industry; the property is all zoned General Industrial at this time. The sketch plan illustrates a mixed use commercial development containing office buildings, Class II Restaurants, auto service operation, "Big Box' retailers, and office and office/warehouse uses in the very northeast corner. Planning Commission Minutes September 20, 1995 Page 10 John Voss approached the Commissioners and stated that he represented the Fischer property interests. He said the total site area of 145 acres will have to develop over a relatively long period of time due to market absorption factors. He stated that they were trying to develop the property in a manner which keeps options open in order to respond to changing mazket conditions over this period of time. Mr. Voss began by describing the street access points along County Road 42 and Galaxie Avenue. He noted that the outer building pad locations must be selected in order to keep views open to the interior if the "Big Box' retailers aze to be enticed to the site. Mr. Voss then referred to the proposed restaurant area at the corner of County Road 42 and Galaxie Avenue. He said that it is their intent to establish both Class I and Class II Restaurants here, while trying to be sensitive to the exposure along Galaxe Avenue and the Dakota County Government Center across the street. He said that they have proposed a series of small office/warehouse buildings on this side of Galaxie Avenue, and that they would be constructed to very high building standards with brick on all four sides; if the demand for these uses is low, they might consider increasing the number of restaurants along Galaxie. He said that their most nebulous development plans concern the northeast corner of the property. He said that they aze considering a series of high tech type office/wazehouse buildings with a reconfiguration of the storm water holding pond to create a site amenity. He stated that they had evaluated the possibility of placing some apartment buildings in this area, but did not believe that would be an appropriate land use for the long term. Mr. Voss then. addressed the proposed alignment of 147th Street. He noted that. the. preferred access. point to Galaxie Avenue would. line up with.. the existing 147th Street,, but that this would require an existing building. to be removed. He went. on to say that. this would only occur over a period of time if tax increment financing increments were accumulated to the extent of paying for this building removal. He stated that when the preiimnary plat is submitted to the City it will show an alternate alignment for 147th. Street, which would not require the building's removal. He said that they expect phase one to occur in the southwest corner, directly at the intersection of County Road 42 and Galaxie Avenue. He said that they would like to establish a landscaped plaza with open views to the interior of the site to create an amenity which will help. identify the total project. He said it is their intent to place the Class I Restaurants on the Galaxie Avenue side, and three Class II Restaurants with a shared parking arrangement on the County Road 42 side. Mr. Voss also referred to the bend in Flagstaff Avenue on the east side of the property. He stated *hat Lhe bend occurs becaose of the steep slope adjacent to the Williams Brothers Tank Farm property. Commissioner Nagler asked about the location of this project relative to the recently approved fourth high school location. It was noted that Flagstaff Avenue would continue to wind up to the northeast to pass by the high school. Commissioner Swanson asked about the medians along County Road 42 and where full or restricted turning movements would occur. Mr. Voss explained the county access Planning Commission Minutes September 20, 1995 Page 11 spacing guidelines with full access permitted atone-quarter mile spacings and right turn only access permitted at eighth mile spacings. The access points that are illustrated on the sketch plan aze consistent with the County standazds, and no new cutting of the median would be necessary; those cuts already exist. Chair Edgeton continued to question the proposed access along County Road 42. She asked Mr. Voss if a traffic engineer had reviewed the overall plan in that there seemed to be an awful lot of access points provided. Mr. Voss stated that they had not engaged the services of a traffic engineer, and felt that with the magnitude of the project and the linkages into the County and City roadway systems, it would probably be appropriate for the City to engage a traffic engineer to look at the entire project. Chair Edgeton also expressed a concern over the location of fast food uses at Galaxie Avenue and County Road 42 in such close proximity to the County Government Center. She said that this location serves as a gateway to the area, and she does not believe that the appearance of the fast food and drive-up windows aze in keeping with the appearance the City is trying to accomplish. Mr. Voss stated that. they were trying to address that issue by placing the Class II restaurants only along County Road 42, and the Class I Restaurant along Galaxie Avenue. Chair Edgeton said that while this would help, cazeful attention will need. to be given to screening and landscape issues. Also, she was concerned about the potential of having multiple pylon signs for all of these fast food restaurants right in a row. She said that under the planned development, it might be appropriate to consider a joint signage plan. Chair Edgeton also said she was. concerned over the number and uses of all the peripheral lots along Galaxie Avenue. and. County Road 42, and that it seemed to be contrary to the typical pattern of commercial. development for these .peripheral lots to develop first and the "Big Box" retailers to be developed last. Mr. Voss stated that was a good point. Commissioner Blundetto asked when the development is likely to begin. Mr. Voss stated that once City plan approval is obtained, they believe that stage one construction could begin in the spring of 1996. Commissioner Nagler asked where this development was relative to the Cedaz Isle Estates residential development to the north. She was informed that the Cedar Isle Estates townhome area was directly north of 147th Street and that it was currently under construction. There was a brief discussion concerning the transition of the office warehouse area to thin multi-family area a:.d the possible impacts that would result. It was noted that a landscape berm was being constructed on the north side of 145th Street to create a buffer from the office warehouse uses. Commissioner Swanson stated that he was concerned over the possibility of traffic along County Road 42 overlooking the rooftops of the peripheral buildings, particularly the auto service uses being proposed in the southeast comer of the site where the grade is much lower than County Road 42. John Voss stated that while this area will be at a lower grade than County Road 42, they will attempt to closely match the grades such that traffic will be Planning Commission Minutes September 20, 1995 Page 12 looking over the tops of the buildings but not on to or above the tops of the buildings. He also noted that rooftop mechanical units would be screened. Chair Edgeton asked whether the developer is considering the extension of the ring route streetscape improvements into the site. Mr. Voss stated that it has been discussed, but that no decision had been made. It seemed that if this were to occur, the most likely candidate would be streetscape improvements along 147th Street. Commissioner Cowling asked about the appearance of the backside. of buildings along Galaxie Avenue. Mr. Voss stated that the buildings would be designed so that they would have no actual back. They would be brick on all four sides. Chair Edgeton asked who the primary tenants in the project were expected to be. Mr. Voss stated that while they have talked to a number of potential tenants, none have been identified at this time. Until the City actually approves a site plan and some of the streets and utilities can be installed, no tenant is willing to make a commitment to locate on the property. Mr. Voss stated that this also went for the restaurant area; no specific users have been tied down. 8. OTHER BUSINESS Community Development IIirector Rick Kelley stated that the next quarterly Planning Commission work session has been suggested for the second Wednesday in October, October 11th. He said that Staff would like to place on the work agenda a discussion. of the City's currently adopted housing policies and goals which were adopted. in 1979. He said that one. of the purposes of the meeting is to review how well the City has done in meeting. these. goals, and how the policies and. goals may need to be modified. to meet the new Livable Communities Act. Commissioner Blundetto said that he will. not be available for an October 11th meeting, but that it seemed that no matter what date was selected, there would. probably be a conflict with somebody's personal schedule. Rick Kelley said that if the Commission wished to begin the meeting earlier, say at 6:00, the City would arrange to have the evening meal brought in. MOTION: Member Nagler moved, seconded by Member Cowling, to schedule a work session for Wednesday, October 11, 1995 at 6:00 p.m. The motion carried 5 - 0. 9~ Ai~JOiJRNMFNT MOTION: Member Swanson moved, seconded by Member Nagler, to adjourn the meeting. The motion carried 5 - 0. The meeting adjourned at 9:04 p.m.
