VI. NEW BUSINESS A. Independent Estates--preliminary plat--(Lakewood Drive, north of Maryland Avenue). Mr. Ken Roberts gave the staff report for the city. Mr. Michael Kolodjski, representing Independent Realty, Inc., is proposing to develop a seven-lot plat for single dwellings called Independent Estates. It would be on a 3.26-acre site on the west side of Lakewood Drive, north of Maryland Avenue. As proposed, the lots in the plat will range from 15,920 square feet to 19,110 square feet with an average lot size of about 17,500 square feet. The city requires each single dwelling lot in the R-2 (single and Double dwelling) zoning district to have at least 10,000 square feet. All of the proposed single dwelling lots would meet or exceed the city's R-1 and R-2 zoning standard. Staff is recommending approval of the proposal subject to the eight conditions outlined in the staff report. Mr. Roberts noted condition eight states: "This approval shall constitute the end of the city's approval of the trucking business that has been on the property and that there shall no longer be commercial truck, trailers or equipment parked or stored on this site or on the property at 1262 Mc Knight Road." That business had been grand fathered into the site and at one time was zoned M-2. Now with the plat coming in, staff feels this would be the time for the end of the trucking business. Commissioner Trippler questioned if the lots have 75-feet of frontage as required. Staff clarified that the code reads there should be 75-feet of width at the front set back line. All of the lots do meet the minimum standard. He also wanted staff to explain condition nine. Mr. Cavett explained a ten-foot bench is an area in the pond where the vegetation growth is promoted. In ten feet of horizontal distance, there is a one foot drop for safety concerns. The pond should not exceed four feet deep below the normal water level. Mr. Trippler noticed in surveying the property there is a side walk on Lakewood Drive. He noted there is no sidewalk provided for people who live on lots 2-6 to get to Lakewood unless they walk on the cul-de-sac. He felt it would make good sense to have sidewalks on the cul-de-sac that allowed them to get to the existing sidewalk. Staff responded in saying the city sidewalk policy is poor and inconsistent, at best. The policy is usually to require a sidewalk when the project is near a school or a major park. To require a sidewalk with this project would be inconsistent with requirements for other similar projects in the past. Mr. Ahlness asked staff if there are any criteria regarding the grading going down to the pond. Mr. Cavett explained the steepest slope allowed going down toward a pond would be a 3:1 (three-feet horizontal, one-foot drop) which is what is proposed. Mr. Thompson noticed two property owners have expressed concerns about an easement that exists for this property and a landlock issue with another property. Staff stated the easement is a private matter between the developer, property owners and Feed Products. The landlock issue with 2313 Maryland may be resolved by incorporating a cul-de-sac and working with the property owner at 1240 McKnight Road. Mr. Mueller asked why the city requires commercial companies to install screening, but do not require residential properties to do the same. Staff's contention was if the commercial property has a problem with the residential properties and encroachment, it is up to the business owner to solve the problem, not the city. Mr. Mueller was also concerned there could be mail issues adding a Tilsen Court when there is Planning Commission -3- Minutes of 12-18-00 already a Tilsen Avenue. Public safety has told staff consistently in the past that they like street names that line up to be consistent to be able to easily locate a residence. Mr. Pearson asked if the easement is recorded so a buyer of the property could readily see there is an easement on that property. Mr. Roberts thought that was the case. It really is not a city concern unless it is a public easement and it is unknown at this point which this easement is. Michael Kolodjski, 9330 Inver Grove Trail, the applicant, was present. Mr. Kolodjski addressed the landlock concern in saying if the owner wanted to develop his property in the future his best option was using the property to his west. The easement with Feed Products, he felt, was regarding a 15-foot strip of land was deeded back to the previous owner, therefore the issue was resolved. He does not believe there is a permanent easement. Vern Potter, 1262 McKnight Road N., who Mr. Kolodjski was purchasing the property from, was present. He felt he was grand fathered in to continue maintaining trucks on the property. Staff stated when he sells the property, the grand fathering clause is terminated. He would like to be able to leave the one trailer and two tractors on the property. Staff suggested Mr. Potter submit a letter to the city explaining what he would like to do, a keep up plan for his property, along with a time frame. He may be able to obtain a permit to build a detached garage to maintain his truck. Staff also reiterated the need to keep his property neatly maintained. Mr. Ledvina wanted to know if staff recalled the intentions of Feed Products to add onto their Main warehouse. Staff confirmed in 1998 or 1999 they applied for a permit to build an office building, but have not yet moved forward on their plans. Mr. Ledvina felt staff was appropriate in disallowing the continuance of the commercial use of the land. He said the property owner and developer had the right to make a case for some type of compromise about keeping the trucks. Mr. Frost moved that the planning commission recommends to the city council to approve the Independent Estates preliminary plat (received by the city on December 8, 2000). The developer shall complete the following before the city council approves the final plat: 1. Sign an agreement with the city that guarantees that the developer or contractor will: Complete all grading for overall site drainage, complete all public improvements and meet all city requirements. b.* Place temporary orange safety fencing and signs at the grading limits. Have NSP install Group V rate street lights in two locations - primarily at street intersections and street curves. The exact style and location shall be subject to the city engineer's approval. Pay the city for the cost of traffic-control, street identification and no parking signs. e. Provide all required and necessary easements. Demolish or remove the existing pole barn from the east side of the 1262 McKnight Road, and remove all other buildings, fencing, trailers, scrap metal, debris and junk from the site. Cap and seal all wells on site that the owners are not using; remove septic systems or drain fields, subject to Minnesota rules and guidelines. h. Complete all the curb and gutters on Lakewood Drive on the east side of the site. Planning Commission -4- Minutes of 12-18-00 This is to replace the existing driveways on Lakewood Drive, repair the trail pavement and restore and sod the boulevards. 2.* Have the city engineer approve final construction and engineering plans. These plans shall be revised to follow the site plan and preliminary plat dated December 8, 2000, and shall include the grading, utility, drainage, erosion control, tree, trail, sidewalk and street plans. The plans shall meet the following conditions: a. The erosion control plans shall be consistent with the city code. b. The grading plan shall show: (1) The proposed building pad elevation and contour information for each home site. The lot lines on this plan shall follow the approved preliminary plat. (2) Contour information for all the land that the construction will disturb. (3) House pads that reduce the grading on sites where the developer can save large trees. (4) The proposed street and trail grades as allowed by the city engineer. (5) All proposed slopes on the construction plans. The city engineer shall approve the plans, specifications and management practices for any slopes steeper than 3:1. On slopes steeper than 3:1, the developer shall prepare and implement a stabilization and planting plan. At a minimum, the slopes shall be protected with a wood fiber blanket, be seeded with a no maintenance vegetation and be stabilized before the city approves the final plat. (6) All retaining walls on the plans. Any retaining walls taller than 4 feet require a building permit from the city. (7) Sedimentation basins or ponds as required by the watershed board or by the city engineer. (8) No grading beyond the plat boundary without temporary grading easements from the affected property owner(s). (9) A minimum of a 10-foot-wide, 10:1 bench below the normal water elevation (NWL) of any pond designed to be a wet pond. The depth of the pond below the NWL shall not exceed four feet. (10) Additional information for the property north of the project site. This shall include elevations of the existing ditch, culverts and catch basins and enough information about the storm water flow path from the proposed pond. (11) Emergency overflows between Lots 2 and 3 (into and out of the pond). The overflow swales shall be protected with permanent soil stabilization blankets. c. The street, trail and utility plans shall show: Planning Commission -5- Minutes of 12-18-00 (1) The public streets shall be a 9-ton design with a maximum street grade of eight percent and the maximum street grade within 75 feet of all intersections at two percent. (2) All the streets with continuous concrete curb and gutter. (3) All public street right-of-ways shall be at least 60-feet-wide. (4) The removal of the unused driveways and the completion of the curb and gutter on the east side of Lakewood Drive, the repair or replacement of the trail pavement and the restoration and sodding of the boulevards. (5) The coordination of the water main alignments and sizing with the standards and requirements of the Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS). (6) All utility excavations located within the proposed right-of-ways or within easements. The developer shall acquire easements for all utilities that would be outside the project area. (7) The plan and profiles of the proposed utilities. (8) A detail of the pond and the pond outlet. The outlet shall be protected to prevent erosion. d. The drainage plan shall ensure that there is no increase in the rate of storm water run-off leaving the site above the current (pre-development) levels. The developer's engineer shall: (1) Verify inlet and pipe capacities. (2) Submit drainage design calculations. Change the plat as follows: a. Add drainage and utility easements as required by the city engineer. These shall include: (1) A 20-footowide easement (10 feet on each lot) for the storm sewer between Lots 2 and 3. (2) An easement over all the area below the overflow elevation of the storm sewer. b. Show drainage and utility easements along all property lines on the final plat. These easements shall be ten feet wide along the front and rear property lines and five feet wide along the side property lines. c. Show ail public street right-of-ways at 60 feet wide. Secure and provide all required easements for the development including any off-site drainage and utility easements. These shall include, but not be limited to, an easement for the culvert draining the pond at the northwest corner of the plat. The developer shall complete all grading for public improvements and overall site drainage. The city engineer shall include in the developer's agreement any grading that the developer or contractor has not completed before final plat approval. Planning Commission -6- Minutes of 12-18-00 Record a covenant or deed restriction with the final plat that prohibits the driveways on Lots 1 and 7, Block 1 from going onto Lakewood Drive. The applicant shall submit the language for these dedications and restrictions to the city for approval before recording. Obtain a permit from the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District for grading. This approval shall constitute the end of the city's approval of the trucking business that the owner of 1262 McKnight Road has been operating from the site. There shall no longer be any commercial trucks, trailers or equipment parked or stored on this site or on the property at 1262 McKnight Road North. if the developer decides to final plat part of the preliminary plat, the director of community development may waive any conditions that do not apply to the final plat. *The developer must complete these conditions before the city issues a grading permit or approves the final plat. Mr. Mueller seconded. Ayes-7 (Fischer, Frost, Ledvina, Mueiler, Pearson, Thompson, Ahlness) Nays-1 (Trippler) Mr. Trippler nay vote was due to the city not requiring the developer to install sidewalks. This proposal goes to the city council on January 8th, 2000. B. Conditional Use Permit Revision and Design Review--Mounds Park Academy (2501 Larpenteur Avenue and 1801 Beebe Road). Ken Roberts presented the staff report for the city. Mounds Park Academy is proposing to build an addition between their school and the former school district building to the north. Mounds Park Academy now owns the northerly building which will be used as an education center. This center would house counselors' offices and a preschool facility. The proposed addition would have seven classrooms, a student commons room and a senior lounge. The proposed addition would be 12,600 square feet in area. It would be predominantly a one-stow structure with a 1 Y2-story- tall roof line over the senior lounge. Mounds Park Academy does not plan an increase in enrollment or faculty due to these changes. Both city and county staff do not feel any additional traffic lights or signals are needed with the addition. Staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit revision for Mounds Park Academy. Staff noted on page four, condition number five, the driveway has already been built and has a chain across it. Mr. Roberts suggested the wording "build a" be changed to "open the". Mr. Ahlness suggested some type of screening to block residential properties on Beebe Road would be beneficial, and a good idea to include in the conditions. There were numerous concerns from the commissioners about traffic issues. Mr. Mueller noted some type of traffic problem with schools is typical, but questioned if there have been injuries or severe problems filed with the police department. Staff had documented comments from John Banick, and as of November of 2000, he has no public safety concerns about this project at this time. Planning Commission -7- Minutes of 12-18-00 Jack Buxell, the architects for the project, was present for the applicant. The school did add a piece of fence across the north/south property line. He did feel there were sufficient procedures in place and staff monitoring of the traffic situation. The one condition the applicant was concerned about was that the property owner shall provide staff with evidence that the two properties have been combined into one legally described lot. They plan to apply for their building permit in late January or early February, and believe it takes 60 to 90 days for processing a plat change in Ramsey County. Staff responded in saying Ramsey simply requires a one page application be completed by the properly owner. Staff felt that as long as the city is provided with evidence that the application was submitted to the county, that would be sufficient to apply for the building permit. Mr. Frost moved that the planning commission recommend to the city council to adopt the resolution to approve the addition to Mounds Park Academy, based on the findings required by the code and subject to the following conditions (additions are underlined and deletions are crossed out): All construction must comply with the site plan, date-stamped,,,:,, ......... ,,~o, y 14, ~, '~"'~o,~,.

The wooden screening fence shall be kept in good repair. Mr. Pearson seconded. Ayes-All Motion carries. This proposal goes to the community design review board on December 19th, and the city council on January 8th, 2000. C. Conditional Use Permit--Comfort Bus Company (1870 Rice Street). The staff report was presented by Ken Roberts. Craig and Lee Rossow, of Comfort Bus Company are proposing to move their Little Canada bus terminal to the Amusement City site at 1870 Rice Street. They propose to operate their school bus and charter bus business from this location. They would remove all existing construction from this site and build a two-story office Planning Commission -8- Minutes of 12-18-00 building, a shop, and dispatch building and a fueling dock. The applicants would submit a community design review board application with architectural plans if the city council would approve their conditional use permit. Some of their operation would still be located at the site in Little Canada. Staff is recommending that the commission approve the proposal subject to the four conditions outlined in the staff report. Mr. Trippier questioned if it was a CUP or a PUD that had to have everything laid out before the commission can vote on the proposal. Staff did not find that the applicant had to have detailed plans at this time for a conditional use permit. It does say the plans have to be referred to the design review board and recommendation, but it does not say they have to have them all at this point in the application process. Mr. Trippier was very concerned with the emissions the busses would be emitting while idling. The contaminants of concerns that he found listed on the EPA web site were volatile organic carbons (V.O.C.'s's), Carbon Monoxide, and Oxides of Nitrogen. The ordinance reads the fumes cannot be excessive, and although there will clearly be air pollution because of busses coming and going, staff does not feel it will be excessive. Mr. Mueller stated there are three main routes the busses can take from the site and all are residential. These will add about thirty-three busses to each road each day. He feels the concern of the residents that live adjacent to the site will be the pooling of fumes and the 40 busses driving by their home 2 to 3 times per day. That is a significant impact on the community where he lives. He also commented the picture of the proposed office building does not look like a 10,000 square foot building. It is a little audacious, but not likely to be the size building on that site. Mr. Trippler felt in trying to define excessive, staff and the commission might relate it to having one hundred and nine busses next to your house. A resident may very likely see that as excessive. Mr. Trippler also did not feel staff is looking at applications as the common man may look at them. Lee Rossow, 4416 River Road, applicant was present to answer questions. Mr. Rossow wasn't sure where the name Comfort Coaches on the agenda came from, and clarified their name is Comfort Bus Company. The owner of Amusement City plans on operating through August 21 st, 2001. This time line works out well for the applicant to complete his building process. Regarding the emissions concern Mr. Rossow explained his busses are the newest in the Metro area, and takes a lot pride in the way they maintain their fleet. They do not idle the busses any longer than needed to provide for enough warm up to prevent damage. Each bus has an electric connection warmed up by electricity before starting up. Planning Commission Minutes of 12-18-00 -9- The amount of emissions that will be added here as compared to the Little Canada location is infinitesimal. The emissions will be virtually the same, just located 2 ¼ miles south. The drivers are allowed to bring up to two toddlers on the busses with them. The new location will have a play area with a jungle gym for the children. The two major contracts for the company are the Roseville School District and the St. Paul School District. The busses leave between 6:15 and 7:00 a.m. About half the busses return between 9 and 10:00 a.m., the remainder stay out with field trips, charters, or kindergarten routes. They are re-dispatch between 1:15 or 2:15 p.m.. The bulk of the busses return around 5:00 p.m. One quarter of the busses stay out in the evening doing field trips in the evening. The company is excited about there being a traffic light on Roselawn and Rice and that there are entrance and off ramps to 1-35E at Roselawn. This will take a lot of the bus travel off of the small side streets. All maintenance of the busses will be done on site except overhauling the automatic transmissions. The applicant explained due to being 2 ½ miles closer to the freeway, at least 50 of the busses will save about 5 miles of road travel per trip which will reduce emissions in the overall scheme. Mr. Thompson calculated it to be about 10 hours of bus time per day. Mr. Rossow has not considered ponding, nor did he include it on his site plan because he felt the engineers would take care of that issue for him. He presumes in the process he will have to provide for run off issues. There are very strict rules with pollution control that the company has to follow as far as washing busses and where the drippage flows. Mr. Mueller asked if the applicant is going to do anything with the big "pit" where the monster truck driving was previously done. There are no current plans for that area at this time. The applicant would be more than willing to comply with what the commission would like to see for screening. Mr. Rossow would prefer to use greenery and trees for screening. Mr. Thompson pointed out the building pictured in the proposal is a four-stow structure, and the proposed building is a two-story structure. Mr. Rossow explained they were simply trying to show a building that had a rounded entrance which is what they would like their building to look like. Mr. Ahlness felt the company will be sitting in "a little bowl" and felt the exhaust will pool in that area, and the residents that live adjacent to the company will be impacted. He asked if the applicant had any quantifiable numbers as to what the impact would be. The applicant does not, but stated he is in the same topographic situation in Little Canada. If it is a calm day there may be a haze that is left when the busses leave on their routes. They are currently located in an industrial park where there are a lot of other industrial operations. He does not have any hard data about the possible impacts. Mr. Mueller felt where the company is currently located is better suited for the applicant than where they are proposing. It is in an industrial area, and far away from residential properties, with no lake or swimming beach across the street. He feels the city is trying to force a business into a place that fits a traffic pattern but overall is not suited for the area. Mr. Trippler read an EPA article that states unless emission reduction is done on large transport vehicles, the impact could result in a large range of health problems. It also can cause crop damage, acid rain and visibility impairment. Although the applicant may run a good business, there is nothing in the proposal that addresses any of these issues. He would like to see the proposal tabled until these issues are addressed. In response to Mr. Frost's question, Mr. Cavett states there are about 20,000 vehicles that travel Rice Street daily. There are about 50,000-60,000 that travel Highway 1-35E daily, and 10,000 on Larpenteur. Therefore, Mr. Frost is not worried about adding 109 busses to these roads. Mr. Ahlness reiterated the importance of being conscientious of the effects of the pollution for the residents in the site area. Until research can be done to ensure it's within reasonable health limits he finds it is very difficult to approve the proposal. Mr. Roberts noted condition four talks about pollution control agency requirements. If it would Planning Commission -10- Minutes of 12-18-00 help the commission, "vehicle repair" could be removed so it would relate to all aspects of their operation, if may appease some of the fears of the commission. Mr. Frost moves the planning commission recommend to the city council to adopt the resolution approving a conditional use permit for motor-vehicle repair as part of a proposed 120 vehicle bus terminal at 1870 Rice Street. The city bases approval on the findings required by the code and subject to the following conditions: All construction shall follow the site plan approved by the city. The proposed construction must be substantially started within one year of council approval or the permit shall become null and void. The council may extend this deadline for one year. The city council shall review this permit in one year. The applicant shall comply with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency requirements as it relates to all applicable aspects of their operation. A plan must be developed for screening and approved by the community design review board. Mr. Pearson seconded the motion. Mr. Ledvina noted he was concerned about the proposal was for 119 busses. He asked what is it to prevent the use of the property for 175 busses? Staff said there is nothing in the conditions at this time and suggested it be added (as noted in the recommendation for 120 vehicles). Ayes-5 (Fischer, Frost, Pearson, Ledvina, Thompson) Nays-3 (Mueller, Ahlness, Trippler) Motion carries. Mr. Ledvina moves the planning commission recommend to the city council to adopt the resolution that terminates the conditional use permit for an amusement center at 1870 Rice Street, effective August 21,2001. Termination of this permit is because the site is to be sold for a bus terminal and will longer be used as an amusement center. This permit shall stay in effect if the owners of the Comfort Bus Company decide not to purchase this site and move their facility to this location. Staff will record this resolution of CUP termination with Ramsey County once the owners of Comfort Bus Company apply for demolition permits. Commissioner Frost seconded. Ayes-All Motion carried. This proposal will go to the city council on January 22nd. Staff recommended the applicant submit any additional information to staff that he would like to include that may answer any of the concerns that were raised by the commission. D. Resolution of Appreciation--Milo Thompson Mr. Roberts congratulated Mr. Thompson for his six years of serving on the planning commission. Mr. Frost moved the commission to approve the resolution of appreciation as included in the staff report for Milo Thompson. Planning Commission -11- Minutes of 12-18-00 Mr. Pearson seconded.
