Jeff Johnson noted that a letter was received from Nextel Communications asking that their request be withdrawn. Motion by Barry, seconded by Apel to accept the request of Nextel Communications to withdraw their request for an Amended Special Use Permit. Motion carried on a 4-yes (Peek, Apel, Barry, Gamache), 3-absent (Wells, Luedtke, Squires) vote. Public Hearing: Rezoning-R-1, Single Family Rural to M-2, Multiple Family -15xxx Hanson Boulevard NW (Section 22)-Chesterton Partnership (Commissioner Wells arrived at this time - 7:03). John Hinzman reviewed the request of Chesterton Partnership to rezone a 60 acre parcel located at 15xxx Hanson Boulevard from R-l, single family rural to M-2, Multiple Dwelling. Mr. Hinzman noted the applicable ordinances and stated that the adjacent land uses are R.I. Chesterton Partnership is proposing to rezone the area in order to construct a senior housing facility. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan was approved earlier this year to transfer the RM, Residential Multiple Density land use designation from a portion of the Chesterton Commons site to the proposed site. , .'. _/ , _ J .\ , ) Regular Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting August 26,1997 - Minutes Page 2 (Chesterton Partnership Rezoning, Cont.) Mr. Hinzman noted that the property is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and that municipal service expansion is scheduled in both the 1995-2000 and 2000-2005 zones. Motion by Ape!, seconded by Wells to open the Public Hearing. Motion carried on a 5- yes (Apel, Wells, Peek, Gamache, Barry), 2-absent (Luedtke, Squires) vote. Gary Sather, 15532 Nightingale Street NW - asked for more information regarding what type of housing will be in the plat - is it rentals or purchased homes. \ Terry Windschitl, Chesterton Partnership - explained that the first thing they are trying to do is to get the land use in place that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Their intent is to get together with professionals to obtain ideas about what would best fit. They are not looking at any type of facility similar to what Presbyterian Homes is proposing. They are looking at what would be workable for the site and would benefit the city. Co:nmissioner Wells asked if the proposal would be similar to what is in Coon Rapids by the Middle School as they have many problems because of the apartment buildings. She questioned whether high-rises would be a use in this zoning classification. Mr. Hinzman stated yes, this is the zoning designation for apartment buildings. Commissioner Wells stated that she has a real concern with the proposed land use designation next to a school (Oak View Middle School). Mr. Carlberg explained that there are parcels of single family residential property between this and the school and there is also a large wetland separating them. Mr. Windschitl noted that in the Comprehensive Plan the designation for this property is RM and they are trying to fit into that classification as close as possible. Commissioner Barry asked if Mr. Windschitl has people working on what type of structures will be built. Mr. Windschitl noted that it will be senior housing and that very rarely do you see senior housing that is only one story. The one in Ham Lake is either 3 or 4 stories. He explained that their intent tonight is to get the zoning in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Hinzman explained to the audience the land swap that occurred previously noting that 40 acres across the street from this property was designated RU in the " Comprehensive Plan and that land use was placed on the 60 acres being reviewed ./ tonight. Gary Sather once again expressed his concern that we don't know what type of housing is going in their and that should be known before the property is rezoned. , 'I / \J " ) Regular Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting August 26,1997 - Minutes Page 3 (Chesteron Partnership Rezoning, Cont.) Motion by Barry, seconded by Wells to close the public hearing. Motion carried on a 5- yes, 2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote. Commissioner Wells stated that it was her understanding that when we did the land swap this property was to be designated for senior housing. Mr. Hinzman noted that it was in there but it was taken out at the City Council meeting. Commissioner Wells stated that she is against this until we know more of what is going to go in there. Commissioner Gamache also stated that he is against the rezoning at this time for the same reason. Motion by Apel, seconded by Peek to forward to the City Council for their approval the ordinance amendment as prepared by staff changing the zoning district classification to conform to the Comprehensive Plan. " Discussion: Commissioner Barry stated that the increase in density is a big concern and also the traffic flow has not been looked at. Commissioner Wells asked if the city has enough water to supply this property. Mr. Carlberg stated yes, we have a water plan and this area can be serviced. / Vote on Motion: Yes - Apel, Peek; No - Gamache, Barry, Wells; Absent - Squires, Luedtke. Motion fails on a 2-yes, 4-no, 2-absent vote. Mr. Windschitl asked for the findings of fact to support the denial. Commissioner Wells stated that she voted no because she was under the impression that the property was going to be residential senior housing. Commissioner Gamache noted that he didn't feel the Commission had enough information on what type of housing would be constructed. Commissioner Barry stated that her concerns are the health, safety and general welfare of the residents as well as increased traffic and multi-level buildings. Mr. Carlberg explained that state law requires that after 1995, the Comprehensive Plan prevails and the zoning has to be brought into compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. What Mr. Windschitl is proposing is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Public Hearing: Rezoning-R-4, Single Family Urban and SC, Shopping Center to M-2, Multiple Family-3331 Bunker Lake Boulevard NW-Presbyterian Homes of Minnesota '. . /. Mr. Carlberg explained that this item and the next two items deal with the property being platted as The Farmstead. The rezoning will deal with the land use and its compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Special Use Permit will deal with the buildings, open space areas and the actual concept that is being proposed. The third item is the preliminary plat which relates to lot dimensions, easements and utilities. '-) 'J , ,! Regular Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting August 26,1997 - Minutes Page 4 (Presbyterian Homes Rezoning, Cont.) \ Mr. Hinzman reviewed the request of Presbyterian Homes to rezone 1.18 acres from Shopping Center to M-2, Multiple Dwelling and 8 acres from R-4, to M-2. The property is located at the "Round Barn" site at 3331 Bunker Lake Boulevard NW. He noted the applicable ordinances and stated that the adjacent land uses are R-4, Neighborhood Business and Shopping Center. The proposal is for a 140 unit senior housing facility with a special use permit for a Planned Unit Development. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan was recently approved designating the area as RM-2, Residential Multiple Dwelling. Mr. Hinzman noted that the proposed rezoning conforms to both the Metropolitan Urban Service Area map and the Comprehensive Plan. Development through the Planned Unit Development Ordinance requires a higher standard for site design to minimize the impact on surrounding properties. Effects on parking and traffic would minimaL Underground parking will be provided for residents and most automobile trips would occur during off peak traffic hours. Mr. Hinzman also noted that the rezoning would have a negligible effect on surrounding residential property values. He stated that staff recommends approval of the rezoning. , I Commissioner Wells asked why the Shopping Center classification is being changed to Multiple. Mr. Hinzman explained that it was platted as Shopping Center and was purchased by Presbyterian Homes to be included as part of this plat. Chairperson Peek asked if there are any implications on the existing land use. Mr. Carlberg noted that if the operation of the Round Barn continues as it has been, there needs to be something in the PUD that allows it to continue. Those types of uses are allowed in a PUD. Mr. Hinzman noted that the long part of the barn will be removed and the round part will remain. The use of that structure has not been determined so far. Motion by Barry, seconded by Wells to open the public hearing. Motion carried on a 5-yes, 2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote. Debra Schiltz, 13937 Eidelweiss expressed concern with what affect this will have on the property values. She also asked if health, welfare, safety and traffic issues are being addressed. She stated that one of the reasons they paid $50,000 for their lot was because the area has protective covenants. She has a handicapped child and is concerned with emergency vehicles being able to get to her home because of the increase in traffic. j Tohn Mehrkens, Presbyterian Homes stated that a traffic study was completed on the site. In comparing a single family dwelling project to a senior housing project the traffic was about equaL However, the traffic flow would be at off-peak times as seniors usually avoid rush hour. \ " ../ , , 'J , l , i Regular Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting August 26, 1997 - Minutes Page 5 (Presbyterian Homes Rezoning, Cont.) Mr. Carlberg explained that the plan for Bunker Lake Boulevard will be 4 lanes. The Anoka County Highway would like to eliminate driveway access to Bunker Lake Boulevard. He noted that there is a one acre property that is now zoned Neighborhood Business that could contain a car wash, convenience store or some other business that could generate more trips per day. Ms. Schiltz stated that her concerns are Marigold Street and the traffic from Round Lake Boulevard. She asked to see the data to support the traffic study. Mr. Mehrkens noted that they have a facility in Minnetonka and the surround property values rose 13% after their facility was constructed. Mr. Hinzman stated that he also checked with the Anoka County assessor and the Ramsey County assessor who both stated that there is no negligible effect on the surrounding property values. Ms. Schiltz asked if there are home sales that would support this. \ , j Roger Leitschuh, 3224 - 139th Avenue NW asked if there had been any changes since the last meeting. Commissioner Apel explained that the City Council approved a Comprehensive Plan amendment and forwarded it to the Metropolitan Council who also approved the change. Commissioner Barry noted that the proposal is a better use of the land then what could go there with the current zoning. Mr. Leitschuh stated that he would not like to see a liquor store or adult book store in that area. He felt that the proposal is a well thought out process. Motion by Wells, seconded by Gamache to close the public hearing. Motion carried on a 5-yes, 2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote. Commissioner Gamache asked if the five lots on 138th are included in the project. Scott Weicht, Adolfson & Peterson explained that those lots are a part of Woodland Creek. They will remain as single family lots and the restrictive covenants will apply to them. He noted that the 1.1 acre lot zoned SC was purchased in 1986 by the Adolfson family as they did not want to see something commercial there. -\ , ) Commissioner Barry questioned the number of trips by emergency vehicles. Mr. Mehrkens stated that the traffic study did not indicate how many of the trips were made by emergency vehicles; however, he formerly managed one of their facilities and they averaged 3 trips per week by emergency vehicles. Ms. Schiltz asked where the construction vehicles will be entering the area during construction. Scott Weicht indicated that initially they will have direct access off Bunker Lake Boulevard. Quay Street would be a secondary access. " ) , , o '- / Regular Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting August 26,1997 - Minutes Page 6 (Presbyterian Homes Rezoning, Cont.) Chairperson Peek noted for the record a letter received from Michael Jerich, 3321 - 138th Avenue expressing his opposition to the project. Motion by Wells, seconded by Barry to forward to the City Council approval of the ordinance amendment as prepared by staff. Motion carried on a 5-yes, 2-absent (Luedtke, Squires) vote. Public Hearing: Special Use Pennit-Planned Unit Development-3331 Bunker Lake Boulevard NW-Presbyterian Homes of Minnesota. \ Mr. Carlberg reviewed the request of Presbyterian Homes of Minnesota for a Planned Unit Development to develop a senior housing development with twin/ town homes and single family residential lots. The project will be called The Farmstead and is located at 3331 Bunker Lake Boulevard. Mr. Carlberg noted the applicable ordinances. The proposed Planned Unit Development consists of 144 units of which 134 are senior housing apartment units, six are twin/ town home units and four are single family residential lots. He stated that the proposal provides for a density increase of 20% above the zoning district requirement as provided in Ordinance No. 112, Section 4(8). The 20% increase provides for an additional 29 units. There are four criteria for having a 20% increase in the density. / ;' lohn Mehrkens, Presbyterian Homes presented a revised drawing of the proposed development, noting that there are duplexes, 66 units for independent living, 68 units for assisted living and 24 are nursing service. As far as the traffic patterns, the duplexes and guests would exit onto Marigold and the others will use Quay Street. Underground parking will be provided with 88-90 spaces. The long portion of the barn will be demolished and a larger pond will be constructed, eliminating the three smaller ponds. The driveway for the assisted living units has been moved to the south thereby creating more green space. The full time staff will have access to the underground parking. It is their experience that 70 percent or fewer of the residents in these developments have vehicles so the underground parking is significantly more than they normally provide. Mr. Mehrkens noted that there are walking paths throughout the development and the proposal would be to have the southern trail be a part of the city's trail system. They would like to preserve the barn as it is an important piece of Andover history. Mr. Mehrkens then presented a rendering of one of the units. Motion by Barry, seconded by Gamache to open the public hearing. Motion carried on a 5-yes, 2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote. " ) , , . I "-./ " Regular Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting August 26,1997 - Minutes Page 7 , / (Presbyterian Homes Special Use Permit, Cont.) Deb Schiltz didn't feel that 88-90 underground parking spaces is adequate. - Chairperson Peek asked if they meet the parking requirements. Mr. Carlberg stated that they are required to provide 1/2 parking space for each unit which would be 72 parking spaces. If the City Council feels it is necessary, they can require that the number of spaces be increased. Mr. Mehrkens noted that this proposal has more parking spaces then any of their other 17 developments. They also have in-house transportation to take the residents to doctor appointments, etc. Commissioner Wells asked if this project was going to be done in phases. Mr. Mehrkens stated that it will be done at one time. Motion by Apel, seconded by Wells to close the public hearing. Motion carried on a 5- yes, 2-absent (Luedtke, Squires) vote. " J Commissioner Wells felt that the proposal doesn't meet the four criteria for an increase in density. She would be more comfortable with 120 units. Chairperson Peek stated that he hasn't seen any documentation to convince him one way or another. Mr. Mehrkens asked that the request be tabled so they could address the concerns presented. They would be willing to have the rezoning go along with this on October 7,1997. Commissioner Barry was satisfied that steps were taken to create more green space although she has a concern with the potential use of the Round Barn. Scott Weicht noted that they are not going to be able to come back and tell us what the use of the Round Barn will be. The antique store will probably continue for the next year however. Mr. Mehrkens stated that they want to make it available for the community to use. Commissioner Gamache stated that the development looks good, and the open space and trail fits nicely. He would be in support of passing this onto the City Council. Commissioner Apel felt the same way, noting that there is significant green space and common space. Several commissioners felt that the developer has not met the four criteria for an increase in density but if they provided that proof, they would have no objection to the Council approving the request. " , J Motion by Peek, seconded by Wells to forward to the City Council the staff prepared resolution granting the Special Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development requested by Presbyterian Homes of Minnesota with a change in the sixth Whereas as follows: the density of a maximum of 115 units since there has not been adequate documentation to convince the Commission to approve the density increase. Motion ., l~ ) ) ,-" \ , / Regular Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting August 26,1997 - Minutes Page 8 carried on a 3-yes (Apel, Wells, Peek), 2-no (Gamache, Barry), 2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote. Commissioner Gamache stated that he would approve it if it was for 144 units. Recess at 9:25 pm; Reconvene at 9:35 pm. Public Hearing: Preliminary Plat - "The Farmstead" - 3331 Bunker Lake Boulevard NW - Presbyterian Homes of Minnesota \ Mr. Carlberg explained that the preliminary plat is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and will be developed with municipal sewer and water. The developer will be responsible to obtain all necessary permits. The Andover Review Committee has reviewed the plat and is recommending upgrading and utilizing the internal walkway system as fire access lanes. The Andover Review Committee also had some comments regarding the bikeway/walkways. The trail system is being discussed with the Park and Recreation Commission. Mr. Carlberg noted that the property is 10.79 acres. The property is within two watershed districts, the Coon Creek Watershed and the Rum River Watershed. A letter was submitted by Presbyterian Homes regarding the park dedication fee. They would like some of the park dedication fees waived in return for preserving the Round Barn for community use and providing and maintaining recreational pathways for use by the neighbors. Based on the number of units proposed, 32% of the market value of the land would need to be paid in park dedication fees. The City Attorney has stated that 10% is acceptable. The Park and Recreation Commission has recommended 10% for the park dedication requirement. \. /1 Commissioner Wells noted that we are looking at a 22% forgiveness on the park dedication fee and a 50/50 split on the trail system and the developer is also asking for financial relief. Mr. Carlberg stated that the financial relief being requested is not a part of the preliminary plat discussion. Dave O'Toole, Park and Recreation Commission Chairperson explained that the Park and Recreation Commission felt that the 2% was excessive because of the amount of open space and trail system they are providing. The Commission didn't feel that the city has the finances, staffing, etc. to maintain the Round Barn. \ , J Motion by Gamache, seconded by Barry to open the public hearing. Motion carried. No one appeared for this item. Motion by Gamache, seconded by Wells to close the public hearing. Motion carried. ~'-_/ u ", , I Regular Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting August 26,1997 - Minutes Page 9 (The Farmstead Preliminary Plat, Cont.) Motion by Barry, seconded by Gamache to forward to the City Council a resolution as prepared by staff approving the preliminary plat of the Planned Unit Development of The Farmstead. Motion carried on a 5-yes, 2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote. Variance: More than One Principal Building on a Lot and Allow an Accessory Bldg. To Remain Closer to Front Lot Line than the Principal Structure - 4345 -157th Avenue NW "\ / Jeff Johnson reviewed the variance request of John and Rita Burgeson to allow more than one principal structure on a lot and to allow an accessory structure to remain closer to the front lot line than the principal structure. The property is 6.25 acres and is zoned R-1, Single Family Rural. The applicant would like the existing home to remain on the parcel until June 30, 1998 at which time his new home will be completed on the same parcel. The existing home will then be razed. The second variance is for a 24' x 26' garage that will encroach 41.4 feet into the required 60' setback from the front lot line. The garage will be compatible in design with the new home. The Commission briefly discussed the location of the existing driveway which Mr. Burgeson would like to keep. The Commission had no problem with that request. Motion by Gamache, seconded by Wells to recommend to the City Council approval of the request of John and Rita Burgeson as presented by staff. Motion carried on a 5-yes, 2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote. Public Hearing: Amend Ordinance No. 10, Platting and Subdividing Ordinance Mr. Carlberg explained that there are three sections of the ordinance that are proposed to be amended: Section 9.03(d) Vertical Curves - this was recommended by our engineering staff. Section 9.07.8 Credit for Private Open Space - this was discussed by the City Council during a discussion of the waiving of park dedication fees for the Presbyterian Homes senior housing project. Section 9.07.10 Dedicated Land, Minimum Area - This would remove the additional 2% park dedication. Section 13 Easements- This would require dedication of all utility easements with approval of a preliminary plat. Motion by Apel, seconded by Wells to open the public hearing. Motion carried. '\ , J Dave O'Toole, 13429 Jonquil Street NW stated that the Park and Recreation Commission has never applied the 2% additional park dedication fee. He did not feel that credit should be given to commercial businesses for open space for park and recreation purposes. He would like to see something done for developments like The l,.J " ) \.../ ~ Regular Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting August 26, 1997 - Minutes Page 10 j (Ordinance 10 Amendment, Cont.) Farmstead. The other members of the Park Commission also feel that they should pay 10%. Regarding Section 13, Mr. O'Toole asked if trails could be added. Commissioner Apel felt that Council could make the decisions for changes regarding the commercial/industrial open space. Commissioner Barry felt that a minimum for park dedication fees should be set and if the Council wants a developer to pay more, it's up to them. She didn't think that 10% was too high. Terry Windschitl felt that Section 9.07.8 could be very important to the city as you could end up with a lot of open space that the city doesn't want to maintain. The PUD criteria and open space criteria are getting confused. He stated that it should be allowed for residential. " Commissioner Gamache didn't think that non-residential should be removed from Section 9.07.8 because it's up to the City Council's discretion as to what to take. Dave O'Toole stated the Park and Recreation Commission would like to see commercial and industrial taken out because it doesn't benefit the residents. Motion by Wells, seconded by Gamache to close the public hearing. Motion carried on a 5-yes, 2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote. The consensus of the commission was to accept the staff prepared amendment with the change to Section 9.07.8 removing Multiple Family Senior Housing in Commercial and Industrial districts. Motion by Barry, seconded by Gamache to forward to the City Council approval of the amendment to Ordinance 10, Sections 9.03(0), 9.07 and 13 as amended at the meeting.. Motion carried on a 4-yes (Peek, Apel, Wells, Barry), I-no (Gamache), 2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote. Public Hearing: Amend Ordinance 8, the Zoning Ordinance- Section 4.05, Accessory Buildings and Strnctures. -' Jeff Johnson reviewed the amendment to Ordinance 8 stating that the ordinance should be amended for the following reasons: 1) the language in Section 4.05 relates to principal structure setbacks and is lacking information relating to accessory building setbacks; 2) property owners abutting a major arterial would be allowed to have a more reasonable use of their property. These properties would be allowed to place an accessory building which is less than 120 square feet in size 10 or more feet from the rear lot line.

Motion carried on a 5-yes, 2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote. The Commission agreed with the agreement but felt some language should be inserted so that accessory buildings are not allowed in drainage and utility easements. Motion by Barry, seconded by Gamache to forward to the City Council the amendment to Ordinance 8, Section 4.05 with the addition that accessory structures not be placed within drainage and utility easements. Motion carried on a 5-yes, 2-absent (Squires, Luedtke) vote. Zoning Ordinance Review Process / Jeff Johnson informed the Commission that he is currently advertising for volunteers to serve on the Zoning Ordinance Task Force Committee. He encouraged the commissioners to tell people who they feel would be interested to apply. Applications are due by September 15th.
