Hultman Community Development Approved by the Planning Commission: Planning Commission Minutes April 8, 2004 Page 6 of 7 S PLANNING REPORT TO: Eric Johnson FROM: Scott Richards DATE: May 6, 2004 RE: Oak Park Heights — Stillwater Auto Clinic, DDD LLC Development at 12430 55 Street North FILE NO: 798.11 BACKGROUND Steve Continenza, owner of Stillwater Auto Clinic, has made application for a conditional use permit to allow for the auto repair use in the B -3, Highway Business and Warehousing District. The auto clinic has been in operation since the Fall of 2003. It was recognized that the use was in operation when a sign permit was requested. The DDD LLC development was approved in 2001 as a PUD that allowed the project to be constructed in two phases. The plan has subsequently been revised. The latest change was made in the Spring of 2003 when Building 2 was reconfigured to be smaller in size and the parking lot size was increased. Building 2 is completed. The Stillwater Auto Clinic is the only tenant currently in the building. Building 1 is completely leased. A list of the tenants of the DDD LLC development is found as Exhibit 4. Attached for reference: Exhibit 1: Exhibit 2: Exhibit 3: Exhibit 4: NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS, INC. 5775 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 555, St. Louis Park, MN 55416 Telephone: 952.595.9636 Facsimile: 952.595.9837 planners@nacplanning.com Enclosure 2 DDD LLC Site Plan Building 2 Floor Plan Building 3 Elevations DDD LLC List of Current Tenants ISSUES ANALYSIS Project Request. The request is to allow an auto service facility in the B -3 District, located in Bay B of Building 2. Section 401.31.E of the Zoning Ordinance lists auto service centers, motor fuel stations, car washes, and oil change facilities as a conditional use. Mr. Continenza's operation will be completely indoors, and they perform vehicle diagnostics, engine repair and management, ABS brake and drive train repair. The Zoning Ordinance lists specific criteria for review of auto service stations and motor fuel stations. Those criteria that are applicable to solely an auto repair center will be complied with. Conditions will be added to the approval related to outside storage areas, keeping the doors to the service bays closed, noise, and licensing. Parking. Based on the information the applicant has provided, Building 1 contains approximately 7,050 square feet of office floor area and 10,150 square feet of warehousing area. There is a mezzanine level in one of the units that increases the office area within the building by approximately 2,700 square feet (3,000 square feet gross minus 10 percent = 2,700 square feet floor area). This results in a parking requirement of 46 spaces for Building 1. The second building contains 7,032 square feet of space, of which Stillwater Auto Clinic is 3,696 square feet. The Zoning Ordinance provides a parking requirement for auto repair consisting of eight parking spaces plus one additional space for each 800 square feet of floor area over 1,000 square feet. The auto repair use would require 11 parking spaces. The other tenant space at 3,336 square feet would require 11 spaces if utilized for auto repair, two spaces if occupied as warehouse space (based upon square foot requirements), and 18 spaces for all office space. The total development has 99 parking spaces. If 46 spaces are required for Building 1, 11 spaces for the Stillwater Auto Clinic, and 18 spaces for the other tenant space based upon an office utilization, a total of 75 spaces would be required for the development. A surplus of 24 stalls allows for parking flexibility for the project owner as it relates to potential tenants. Performance Standards. The buildings and site have been constructed according to approved plans. All grading and drainage, lighting, building design, trash enclosure, and landscaping issues were resolved at the time of construction. Signage. The proposed wall sign for the development will be required to meet all requirements of Section 401.15.G of the Zoning Ordinance. 2 RECOMMENDATION /CONCLUSION 41110 5. All proposed signage shall be in compliance with Section 401.15.G of the Zoning Ordinance. • Based upon the preceding review, it is recommended that the conditional use permit to allow for auto repair use, for the Stillwater Auto Clinic at 12430 55 Street North in the B -3, Highway Business and Warehousing District, be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. All automobile repair activities shall be limited to within the principal structure and the doors to the service bays shall be kept closed except when vehicles are being moved in or out of service areas. 2. There shall be no exterior storage of automobile parts, parked cars, or related items on the site. All storage shall be internal to the building. Any cars to be stored outside of the building shall be in full working order. 3. All noise created from operations on the site shall be in conformance with Section 401.15.B.11 of the Zoning Ordinance. 4. The applicant shall receive and retain, if required, a Hazardous Generators License from Washington County for the Discount Tire operation. 3 1 - la 1- s v ac W Id z W W 0 !if • 1 r rz 32 ta w ..� z -1 E I • t »x1 1- l' -I glit!yi SI PO 511:iilt • g ON;g1 plotilx a liglib %Aid d 11 1-- Z U ti) M / ul / 2 • N / / 1 1 • � z 1.3 = � M A„/ / e - 1 _.In . -e / , C-ii 1 _ >iLN / 1' /` j Q I ; ai `■ • 1 > - vlm `: ` 1 .r , .0 '4 . , `�..

Current Occupation Manager, Six Sigma Black Belt, Office Supplies Division, 3M Company Work Experience Twenty five years at 3M Company, in a variety of positions including Sales, Product Marketing, Channel Marketing, New Business Development, Exploratory Products Manager. Education MBA, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota, 1983 BSBA, University of Minnesota, Graduated with distinction, 1979 My Interest in This Position I believe a well- planned community improves the overall quality of life of the residents, improves pride in the city, and motivates residents to stay vs. seeking their Utopian dream community elsewhere. I also believe a well- planned community attracts and keeps good businesses, and helps keep its business districts attractive and prospering over time in comparison to communities that have a mish -mash approach to development. I have lived in over a dozen communities in five different states in my 47 years, and have witnessed over time returning to these communities how poor planning has ultimately caused new communities to deteriorate and become unappealing areas to live, while good planning has ultimately made those communities grow in attractiveness and prosper. My wife and I are eight -year residents of Oak Park Heights. We moved here when we built our home in Autumn Ridge in 1996. We love the city and enjoy the benefits of the good planning decisions that have already been made, and plan on staying in the city through retirement. As such, I have a strong interest in volunteering my time now to help make sure the current level of good planning continues. I have a business background in Sales, Marketing and New Business Development. I am involved in writing strategic plans, and establishing both visions and long term goals. I feel this background and experience could well serve the needs of the city of Oak Park Heights on its planning committee. I hope you will consider my interest in becoming a contributing member of your planning committee. I welcome any questions you have. I would serve well. Memorandum To: Planning Commission From: Julie Hultman Date: May 6, 2004 Re: 2004 Council Representation Schedule With the departure of Commissioner Powell, I am inviting the Commission to look at the Council Representation Schedule and reestablish representation if needed.
