RE:

NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS
COMMUNITY COMMUNITY PLANNING - DESIGN - MARKET R E S E A R C H
Oak Park Heights - Public /Institutional and Open Space
Zoning District
798.04 - 00.03
ENCLOSURE 4
The City Council, at their September 26, 2000 meeting, voted to send consideration of the
Public/Institutional and Open Space Zoning District back to the Planning Commission. The
City Council requested that staff notify all the affected parties such as churches, the
School District, cemetery owners, the State of Minnesota (correctional facilit a facility) and the
Metropolitan Council (wastewater facility) regarding the proposed zoning text changes.
es. g
Further, the City Council requested that once notification has been completed, the
Planning Commission hold a meeting with the representatives of the affected land uses.
The City Council wanted assurance before the Zoning Ordinance is revised and especially
p Y
before an actual zoning change affects the properties in question, that all of the p arties
understand the zoning amendments. As you are aware, the changes that have been
proposed by staff and recommended by the Planning Commission include amendments
only to the Zoning Ordinance text. Rezoning parcels to the Public/Institutional District
would be done by a separate action including a public hearing of the Planning Commission
and City Council action.
City Council members commented on the proposed setback standards for the
Public/Institutional District. The primary concern of the Council was if certain uses, such
as churches would meet the standards as proposed. Staff indicated that the existin g uses
are grandfathered and they would be allowed to remain and expand, as long as the
nonconformity was not increased. Further, staff has not proposed a rezonin g of the two
churches in the City. Calvary Assembly and First Presbyterian Church are both currently
zoned residential in which churches are and would remain an allowable conditional use.
The proposed rezoning being considered at this time is limited to public facilities such as
City Hall and parks, schools, cemeteries, the correctional facility and the Metropolitan
Council's wastewater facility.

The City Attorney commented on the proposed Public /Institutional District and indicated
that while City parks are permitted in the proposed ordinance, similar recreational facilities
for schools would be considered as conditional. Mr. Vierling felt that the same uses should
be treated in a similar manner no matter what organization or jurisdiction is their sponsor.
He suggested that parks be made a conditional use within the Public /institutional District.
Staff has recommended, as attached, to add parks, recreational facilities, structures or
buildings as a conditional use under Section 401.320.E of the proposed district. The
language has been drafted with the intent that minor changes to parks would not require
a conditional use permit, but that all major facilities, buildings and parking areas would.
The Planning Commission should comment on this change as they consider the additional
staff and Council input on this issue.

RE: Oak Park Heights - Boutwells Landing Signage and Li Lighting
9 9 9
FILE NO: 798.02 -00.14
The City Council, at their September 26, 2000 meeting, requested additional Planning
Commission and Parks Commission input on the lighting and signage issues for Boutwells
Landing. The City Council discussed the plans and viewed a sample light fixture provided
by VSSA. As part of the review, the City Council considered the recommendations made
by the Planning Commission and Parks Commission at their meetings in September.
Specifically, the City Council requested the following:
Signage:
1. The Parks Commission had asked VSSA to come back to their October meeting
with additional ideas on park signage. The City Council will consider these
recommendations when the Parks Commission forwards its final recommendation.
The Council also indicated that all signage must comply with City ordinance
requirements.
Lighting:
NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS
COMMUNITY PLANNING - DESIGN - MARKET RESEARCH
ENCLOSURE
1. The City Council determined that the 14 foot pole option is appropriate for the street
lighting within Boutwells Landing. The Council wanted the Planning Commission
to consider the VSSA request to place 24 foot pole lighting in the parking lots.
Additionally, the Planning Commission should further consider the lens style for the
proposed light fixtures. Although all of the fixtures will comply with the ordinance
requirement of 90° cut off, the lens preferred by VSSA will extend below the body
of the fixture. The lighting section of the Zoning Ordinance (Section 401.15.B.7)

PHONE 612-595-9636 FAX 612-595-9837 E -MAIL NAC WINTERNET.COM
specifies that architectural /historical light fixtures that feature a globe require
approval of the City Council. The Planning Commission, at their September
meeting, indicated that they preferred that the globes do not show below the fixture
profile. VSSA representatives indicated that they have additional information to
present to the Planning Commission on this issue.
2. The City Council also asked the Planning Commission to comment on the trail
lighting fixtures and locations. The Parks Commission, at their September meeting,
recommended that the Boutwells lighting plan should include bollard lighting
throughout the park for the bike paths and trails. The Parks Commission will be
asked if they have any additional comments on the lighting plan at their October
meeting.
Mark Vierling, the City Attorney, provided the City correspondence highlighting the
language of the Development Agreement related to lighting. A copy of the letter is
attached. Provision 3.f. indicates that the City has a high degree of latitude related to
requiring lighting for the park:
"3.f.. Providing lighting for any primary or collector' walk or bikepaths (as opposed
to internal non - primary walk or bikepaths) serving the development with
ground fixtures as specified by the City's Department of Public works which
should also be subject to the terms set forth in a -e above. (Walk or
bikepaths to be lighted shall be shown on a lighting plan to be prepared by
the developer the same being subject to the approval of the city
administrator)"

therefore all signage is subject to the existing requirements of the city ordinance.
