He noted that in regarding to condition 1, they do have some questions and concerns regarding condition and they intend to have some dialogue with the City Council as to the condition. He also noted that with regard to condition 2, he thought that the connection charge amount was $102,714 rather than $104,714 as noted. Chair Freeman inquired as to the rationale for increased signage. Mr. Matula discussed that they felt that there may be value in placing signage with the height of the building and that if it turns out that there is not value in having it, they will not be utilizing it. Brief discussion ensued as to bicycle traffic and bike rack placement. Chair Freeman opened the public hearing. and invited public comment. There being no visitors from the audience, Chair Freeman closed the public hearing and invited further discussion from the Commission. City Planner Richards noted the handout of the building materials that was provided the Planning Commission, at their seats, for the meeting. Discussion ensued as to what kind of market study was undertaken to determine the improvements to the site, signage and the process for requesting deviations from City Ordinance.

City Planner Richards noted that a public hearing was held at the April 12, 2018 Planning Commission, at which time the Commission continued the public hearing with a request that the applicant to provide the following information: Drainage calculations for the site; • Perspective diagrams showing the Holiday Inn Express building with adjacent Stillwater Motors and Century Motorsports building elevation; and • A revised site plan showing proof of parking or a plan that would show how parking would be addressed during high occupancy time. Richards reviewed and discussed the May 2, 2018 Planning Report regarding the same. Planning Commission Minutes May 10, 2018 Page 4 of 6 Chair Freeman opened the public hearing and invited discussion. Discussion ensued as to the perspective of elevation site lines, the rationale for a 35 - foot building height limit requirement and it relevancy, the layout of some of the parking being very tight and the number of spaces overall, overflow parking concerns of Century Motorsports, number of wall signs and their placement. The applicant noted that the sign placement is about exposure and location. Elevation differences between the proposed building and those in the area were discussed, with some concern expressed. Lakeview Hospital in Stillwater, MN was noted as an example of a taller structure with lower structures around it and also that the water tower planned for the area would have been taller. Chair Freeman stated that he didn't have a problem with the building — just that he feels it is too tall for the area.

The lot and building were previously the Eagles Club. It is situated at Highway 36 and Norell Avenue North. The site will be redeveloped with two buildings, one which will be a freestanding Panera Bread with a drive thru and the second as a retail building with no tenants identified at this time. Over the past year, the City has been in preliminary planning for improvements and realignment of the 60tt' Street North (frontage road) and Norell intersection. This plan would accommodate the current plan for that realignment. A copy of the conceptual plan layout is found as Exhibit 13. The Planned Unit Development will allow a multi building shopping center with joint signage, access and parking. The site is currently zoned B-4 Limited Business District that allows retail and restaurant development. The Panera Bread plan would require a Conditional Use Permit for a drive thru. A Preliminary/Final Plat is required to subdivide the parcels into the respective lots for the two building sites and the buildings/site will require Design Standards and Site Plan review.

The former Oak Park Heights Eagles 94 site is proposed to be redeveloped into multi - tenant retail/service and restaurant uses. The masterplan features two buildings placed along Norell Avenue to form an urban edge as well as maximizing visibility opportunities at the intersection and from Highway 36. The northern building features a freestanding restaurant with a drive thru. Ample car stacking is provided within the development. Parking is provided at a ratio suitable for high-level, restaurant type uses. Pylon signs are located at the main entrance and off Norell. The signs are designed to match building architecture with a brick base. One pylon sign is proposed for each of the two future lots. The building architecture utilizes brick with soldier course patterns. Storefront glass is maximized at the front elevation and turns the corners. The use of spandrel glass on the street facades gives the appearance of the front while disguising back of house elements. The use of multiple styles of awnings and placement of brick elements helps to differentiate tenants. Signage is consistent with individually mounted back lit channel letters and located in designated sign band area. Two trash enclosures are located for convenient access and are of matching materials to the buildings with landscape screening and softening. Landscaping around the site includes a variety of deciduous and coniferous tree plantings with complementary shrubs and perennial plants. Native pants and with a seasonal color change are used to provide interest throughout the year. All non -paved areas of the site will be covered with plant material. ISSUES ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan. The property is designated as Commercial on the Proposed Land Use Map. The use of the site as retail and restaurant buildings is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning. The property is zoned B-4 Limited Business District that allows retail and restaurant use as a permitted use. Shopping centers with joint signage, access and parking require a Planned Unit Development overlay. The Concept and General Plan phases of the process can be. combined for this development in that all the General Plan information has been submitted and deemed complete. A conditional use permit has been requested to allow a drive thru for the Panera Bread. Section 401.301.E of the Zoning Ordinance provides the review criteria for this request. The drive thru as designed complies with the criteria. Subdivision. The property is to be subdivided as Ridgecrest Oak Park Heights I with one lot for each of the buildings. The plat will be subject to review and approval of the City Attorney and City Engineer. The park dedication fees have been paid for this area. Lot 1, Block 1 will have an area of 1.01 acres and Lot 2, Block 1 will have an area of 1.26 acres. The lots will comply with the minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet and lot width of 100 feet. Easements around lot lines shall be dedicated as required by the Subdivision Ordinance and the City Engineer. A Final Plat shall be prepared for review by the City Council. The plat includes moving the north and east property lines into property owned by the City to accommodate the development. In exchange, the City would take the land to the south in fee or as an easement to allow for the potential construction of the frontage road to the south. The Site Plan, found as Exhibit 6, indicates how this frontage road would fit with the plan for the Ridgecrest development. Setbacks. Building setbacks required in the B-4 District are a 40 -foot front yard setback, 10 -foot side yard setback and 20 -foot rear yard setback. Norell would be considered the front yard for the two lots. The Lot 1 which includes the Panera Bread building, will have a 44 -foot building setback to the property line and Lot 2 with the retail building will have a 30 -foot setback. To 60th Street North, the Panera Bread building will have a 32 -foot setback. The Planned Unit Development would allow flexibility in the setback requirements. k] All parking and drive aisles must be set back at least ten feet from the property line. The parking lot setback to 60th Street North is at the narrowest point five feet. The Planning Commission should comment on the proposed setbacks. Traffic Circulation/Curb Cuts. The site will be accessed by 60th Street North at the north side of the property. This access is shared with the office building to the west. The site plan also indicates the potential for a southern access if the frontage road is constructed in this area. The City Engineer shall review the locations of the access for their acceptability. A tuming movement plan has been provided. The plan shall be subject to review by the Fire Marshal for emergency vehicle access. Pedestrian Access. There is an existing sidewalk on the south side of 60th Street North that ends at Norell Avenue. With the potential for reconstruction of the 60th Street and Norell intersection, the sidewalk could be extended south along Norell Avenue. The City will condition approval of the project on the Applicant agreeing to escrow sufficient funds, as specified by the City Engineer, to complete the sidewalk improvement or agree that the City will complete the work and petition for the public improvement, waiving notice of public hearing and assessments, as required under Minnesota Statute 429. Additional easement for the sidewalk may be required. The City Engineer should consider this as part of the approvals. Parking. The following table provides an analysis of proposed and required parking spaces. Building Parking Requirements and Calculation Required Spaces Lot 1 Building Shopping Center: 6 Spaces per 1,000 24 Square Feet 4,500 x.9 = 4,050 1 166 = 24 Lot 2 Building Shopping Center: 6 spaces per 1,000 36 Square Feet 6,720 x.9 = 6,048 1 166 = 36 TOTAL fi0 Per ordinance, based upon the shopping center parking requirements, the site would require 60 parking spaces. The proposed site plan indicates a total of 108 spaces, 53 spaces on Lot 1 and 55 stalls on Lot 2. There will be cross easements for parking and access throughout the development. The plans indicate six disability stalls adjacent to the front entrances of the two buildings, which will be adequate for the site. Drive-Thru for Restaurants. The Panera Bread building has been designed with a circulation lane to allow for a restaurant drive-thru. The stacking distance would be adequate, but there would not be room for an alternate lane around the queue. The restaurant drive-thru requires a conditional use permit. The plans include a drive through clearance bar, a canopy with order box, and the menu board. ILI Snow Storage. The plans do not indicate an area for snow storage. The applicant shall indicate where the snow is to be stored. Snow storage shall not interfere with parking stalls. Landscaping. The submitted landscape plan is subject to City Arborist review and approval. City Arborist comments are found as Exhibit 26. Lighting. The lighting plan indicates the locations of the parking lot and site fixtures. The lighting specifications indicate that the fixtures to be used in the parking lot will be full cut off and LED and compliant with height requirements. The building light fixtures indicate the use of all full cut off fixtures. The photometric plan has been provided and will need to be revised so that the foot candies do not exceed a one candle meter reading as measured from the centerline of a public street and not exceed 0.4 foot candies at an adjacent property line. All light fixtures shall be full cut off, compliant with the height requirements, and be consistent with Section 401.15.B.7 of the Zoning Ordinance as it relates to lighting requirements.

Grading, drainage, erosion control, and utility plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. Storm water issues are also subject to review and approval by the Brown's Creek Watershed District. Signage. Freestanding Sign. The plans indicate two pylon signs, both of which are on Lot 1 The Ordinance allows for one freestanding sign per lot and two additional freestanding signs on the same lot if constructed as a monument. The first freestanding sign can be a maximum of 100 square feet in size and be no more than 20 feet in height. The second monument sign can be eight feet in height and 60 square feet. The freestanding signs will need to be setback at least five feet from the property lines. 5 The proposed freestanding sign is 20 feet in height and 48 square feet. The plan should be updated so that the second sign meets the size requirements for a monument sign. If the Applicant places the second sign on Lot 2, it can be constructed to the same size requirements as the freestanding sign. The bases of the two signs are proposed to be landscaped and included on the landscape plan. Wall Signage. The Zoning Ordinance would allow for three wall signs, each on a separate fagade for the Panera Bread building. The elevation plans indicate the Panera Bread logo on all four facades. There are two signs that indicate the availability of a drive thru. These signs are considered as informational and no not count in the total of numbers or square footage. The Ordinance would allow a total of 150 square feet of wall signage and the four signs total 92 square feet. The fourth sign can be allowed through Planned Unit Development approvals. The Planning Commission should discuss this request. The plans indicate potential tenant signage for the retail building. The signs would need to comply with the Zoning Ordinance requirements as the tenant spaces are leased. For the retail building, the Ordinance specifies a maximum of 200 square feet of signage per wall and maximum of 500 square feet per building. Sign Illumination. The signs will be required to comply with the Zoning Ordinance lighting requirements. Staff will approve the lighting specifications for the signs at the time of permitting.

NARRATIVE RIDGECREST OAK PARK HEIGHTS I The former Oak Park Heights Eagles 94 site is proposed to be redeveloped into multi -tenant retail/services and restaurant uses. The masterplan features two buildings placed along Norell Avenue to form an urban edge as well as maximizing visibility opportunities at the intersection and from Highway 36. The northern building features a freestanding restaurant with a drive thru. Ample car stacking is provided within the development. Parking is provided at a ratio suitable for high-level, restaurant type uses. Pylon signs are located at the main entrance and off Norell. The signs are designed to match building architecture with a brick base. One pylon is provided for each of the two future lots. The building architecture utilizes brick with soldier course patterns. Storefront glass is maximized at the front elevation and also turns the corners. The use of spandrel glass on the street facades gives the appearance of the front while disguising back of house elements. The use of multiple styles of awnings and placement of brick elements helps to differentiate different tenants. Signage is consistent with individually mounted back lit channel letters, and located in designated sign band areas. Two trash enclosures are located for convenient access and are of matching materials to the buildings with landscape screening and softening. Landscaping around the site includes a variety of deciduous and coniferous tree plantings with complimentary shrubs and perennial plants. Native plants and with a seasonal color change are used to provide interest throughout the year. All non paved areas of the site will be covered with plant material. Perimeter trees are planted 40 feet on center fulfilling the municipal guidelines. = 8= � Ei, � = I ii�iti, •h � cel ; a e 1If'�;a t1 aai� an g � 1 �E��• Dr, ; 3 = 1 i'»E'E�;� �ia� a !il i ;a r li 2 � ; • i � a ! �aill��i �a�a 3 €i N�ii aI i E' acb 1�{!1�r'iij aIllsi `{I'j� E ! i1 i'I!

The following includes my comments and/or recommendations: Tree Preservation Plan (Sheet 3 of 11) (Tree Replacement Calculation) The final plans must include the updated tree replacement calculation as shown below: [(AIB) x C] x A=D A= Total Diameter Inches of Significant Trees Lost as a Result of the Land Alteration B= Total Diameter Inches of Significant Trees Situated on the Land C= Tree Replacement Constant (1.33) D= Replacement Trees (Number of Caliper Inches) [(113 C. L/275 C.I.) x 1.33] x 113 C.I. =D D=61.76 Replacement Caliper Inches Required A total of 133.5 Caliper Inches in plantings are included in the proposed plant schedule (Sheet 8 of 11) therefore, the tree replacement requirement has been met. (Note: % height=Caliper Inches was the conversion used in calculating for Deciduous Understory and Coniferous Overstory trees) TR -P. -F. C `.TTY U.S.A. Landscape Plan (Sheet 8 of 11) The overall design of the plan is attractive and will complement the site well. The plan includes an acceptable species selection of deciduous trees, coniferous trees, ornamental trees, shrubs and perennial plants to be installed ((542) total plantings). All plants included in the plan are hardy under local growing conditions, tolerant or resistant to major insect and disease problems and fairly low maintenance. All trees planted must be landscape grade trees of good form and structure, no park grade trees. All plant sizes, root and container classes included in the plans conform to the City of Oak Park Heights zoning ordinance requirements. The locations chosen for most plants are appropriate. All plantings must be planted on private property and not the City boulevard right-of-way. The plant quantities included in the planting schedule must correspond with the plant quantities on the landscape plan. The plant schedule includes (18) Annabelle Hydrangea shrubs and (19) are shown on the plan. This must be corrected on the final plans. Landscape Details (Sheet Number 9 of 11) The landscape notes and planting detail submitted is acceptable. The landscape contractor is required to plant trees and shrubs according to the approved planting detail diagrams and landscape notes submitted with the final approved landscape plan. This will be checked after planting and any deviations from the plans must be corrected before the landscaping will be approved by the City, this needs to be noted in the final plans. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this landscape plan review. Please feel free to forward my comments to the development team for this project. 701 TREE CITY U.S.A. 3601 Thurston Avenue N, Suite 100 Anoka, MN 55303 Phone: 763.231.5640 Facsimile: 763.427.0520 TPCTPCL&Plann1n9Co.onm MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: RE: TPC FILE: BACKGROUND Eric Johnson Scott Richards June 7, 2018 Oak Park Heights Structures 236.01 - 18.02 Accessory Building Amendments Temporary The City Council, its May 22, 2018 meeting and at a previous workshop, discussed amending the accessory building section of the Zoning Ordinance as it relates to temporary structures. As you are aware, the City Council amended Section 401.15.D.11 in October of 2017 to allow temporary accessory structures with the issuance of a special use permit for a maximum of 50 days in a calendar year. Since then it has been recognized that there is a need to allow additional time for placement of these structures. Typically, they are a fabric or tarp structure and are not placed on a permanent foundation. The City Council was favorable to the following language addition found in (e) below and has asked the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing and make a recommendation on this issue. 401.15.D Accessory Buildings Uses and Equipment 11. Temporary Accessory Structures. Temporary accessory structures shall be allowed in all zoning districts with the issuance of a special event permit for a maximum of 50 days in a calendar year subject to the following: a. The structure shall be securely fastened to the ground, subject to the safety requirements of the manufacturer. b. The structure shall be kept in good condition and its appearance shall not be detrimental to the area or adjacent properties. C, The temporary use does not involve the erection of a substantial structure or require any other permanent commitment of the land. d. The temporary structure shall be removed at the end of the permit period. If not removed within 10 days thereafter, the City shag have the right to remove the structure at the permittee's expense. e. Temporary structures may be permitted for up to 24 (twenty-four) continuous months in the R-1 and R-2 Residential Districts with City Council approval of an Interim Use Permit as provided for in Section 409.05. The application fee for an Interim Use Permit for the purposes found in subsection (e) shall not exceed $900.00. The value of this amendment would: • Permit the structure for up to two years. Provide an opportunity for neighborhood comment with a Planning Commission public hearing. • Allow a process should the structure fall into disrepair. • Limits the application fee to $100.00 which will ensure that those applying for a temporary structure are committed to the process. Conclusion/Recommendations The Planning Commission should open the public hearing, review the draft regulations, and made a recommendation to the City Council. 2 3601 Thurston Avenue N, Suite 1030 Anoka, MN 55303 Phone: 753.231 .5840 Facsimile: 783.427, 0520 TPCTPCOPlanningCo.com MEMORANDUM TO: Eric Johnson FROM: Scott Richards DATE: June 7, 2018 RE: Oak Park Heights — Comprehensive Plan 2018 TPC FILE: 226.10 Lee Mann of Stantec, the City Engineer has provided the draft copies of the utility elements of the Comprehensive Plan for initial review. With the Introduction, Social Inventory, Issues Identification, Mission Statement and Goals, Land Use, Transportation, Administration, Community Facilities, Parks and Trails, and Implementation sections of the Comprehensive Plan, this completes the draft for submittal to the adjoining jurisdictions and the Metropolitan Council. Please find attached the following: • Comprehensive Sewer Plan • Water System Master Plan o Local Surface Water Management Plan Due to the number of pages, these drafts will only be available online and paper copies will not be distributed at the meeting. If any of the Planning Commissioners would like to view paper copies, please contact Julie Hultman and they can be made available at City Hall. The Planning Commission should review the utility plans and make any comments at the June meeting. If there are no major issues, the Planning Commission should recommend these documents to the City Council. The final draft of the entire Comprehensive Plan, including the utility plans, will also be reviewed as part of the final public hearing process later this year before sending the completed draft to the Metropolitan Council. CL City of Oak Park Heights 14168 Oak Park Blvd. N u Box. 2007. Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 + Phone (651) 439-4439 • Fax (651) 439-0574 6-7-18 MEMO TO: Punning Commissioners — 6.14.18 Meeting FROM: Eric Johnson, City Administrator RE: Palmer Station — Extension Request In 2014 the City was approached by the Property Owner (Creative Homes) of the above property to consider the placement of 13 single family homes on the site generally known as the "Palmer Site". This is the 7+1 - acre site located at the southeast corner of Oakgreen Ave and 58th Street. At that time a number of public hearings were held and while there were some concerns, the Project was viewed as generally favorable by the neighborhood and was subsequently approved by the Council. Since that time, the Developer has obviously not moved forward with their project and has continuously sought extensions to their approvals, with three extensions being granted. In early 2017, the City informed the Property Owner that if it did not complete the necessary steps to commence the project by October 31st, 2017 — by executing the necessary Developer's Agreements and posting required financial securities AND proceeding promptly with construction following any bidding that such approvals would lapse and the Council would not consider any further extensions precipitating a new application. The Developer did post such securities and the Project was bid for a Spring 2018 construction. But as we see the Developer has not moved forward as they have indicated that the bids. received for the public elements (roads & utilities) exceeded their anticipated budget. The Developer has now sought to have these rebid by the City with possible construction later this summer; but essentially is another extension with no assurance as to when the project may proceed. Considering the history, the City may certainly require the Developer to re -submit for a new full development application under MN Stat. 15.99 rules and is something the City Council is considering or it could simply allow another extension. Prior to making such a decision the Council has directed that a Public meeting be held with the neighborhood on Thursday, June 141h, 2018 at 6:00 PM to take input on what is essentially a fourth timeline extension for the Developer. This will be held at the Oak Park Heights City Hall with the Planning Commission and notices were sent. The Planning Commission is requested to: 1. Receive any commentary relative to the timelines noted above, and or any other comments that it may deem relevant or reasonable about the Project. 2. Consider giving direction to the City Council if the City should allow a fourth extension OR require the Developer resubmit the project in its entirety. Staff would note that the underlying zoning of the site nas not changed (R-1), nor has the City's comprehensive plan directing the land use as low-density residential which the Development remains in compliance with. Theoretically, an entirely new application will need to be reviewed under the same zoning codes and their guidance and may result in a very similar, if not identical Project. However, there could be new concerns or other unknown issues that have arisen in the past 48 months that the City is unaware of. Please note the City did allow a re -bidding of the project at the request and expense of the developer with bids due on June 29th. If the Council allows an extension, it is possible the bids if received are favorable to the Developer that the project may proceed. If the Council determines that new application is necessary then these bids will be rejected in total regardless of their costs. The enclosed maps generally show the approved layout which remains the only approved layout as well as the Planned Land Use Map showing Low Density residential. 4n June 26", 2098 the Council will review any comments received will determine if a new development application is to be required under MN Stat 95.99 or if it will allow the re -bid to continue and allow construction under another extension, presumably this summer.
