DATE: October 26, 2007
RE: Oak Park Heights -- Brackey Retail Development /Best Buy
Planned Unit Development, 60 Street North and Krueger Lane
FILE NO: 798.02.O7.O9
WCL Associates, Inc., representing Robert Brackey, has made application for a planned
unit development, concept and general; conditional use permit; subdivision; site plan
and design review; and rezoning of the subject property from 0, Open Space District to
B-2, General Business District. The subject site, located at the corner of 60th Street
North and Krueger Lane, is 14.83 acres. The development consists of a 30,250 square
foot Best Buy store that would be considered for concept and general plan approvals as
part of the planned unit development. The second phase of the development is a
20,500 square foot building and adjacent parking areas that would only be considered
for concept approval at this time.
The development can be completely accessed from 60 Street North and Krueger
Lane. No new streets are to be constructed. Cross access with the Menards parking
lot is also proposed. The subject site is currently zoned 0, Open Space. A rezoning to
B-2, General Business District has been applied for and the request is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation for the property.

Proposed Project: The proposed development would feature a Best Buy store to be
constructed as the first phase of this planned unit development. The 50,750 square foot
building would be constructed as two separate, but adjacent buildings. The Best Buy
phase would be a 30,250 square foot single tenant space. The second phase would be
a 20,500 square foot space that would be constructed as demand for tenant space
increases, but according to the developer, not until 2009 or later.
Access to the development would be from 60 Street North, Krueger Lane, and through
the Menards' parking lot. The driveway from 60 Street will require an access permit to
be issued by Mn/DOT. The City will also require pedestrian access into the
development from 60 Street and Krueger Lane, which has been shown on the site
plan.
2
Page 39 of 84
The parking lot improvements will also be phased with the development. All access
points will be established with the first phase, but the building pad and parking for the
second phase will remain in grass until development. The planned unit development
phasing plan is shown as Exhibit 12 of this report.
The Best Buy store would feature retail sales of electronic goods and the services found
in similar stores. A car stereo install service is also intended as part of what is offered
at this location. The access doors for the stereo install location are found on the north
elevation.
The Menards' pylon sign currently exists on the property owned by Mr. Brackey. The
sign is considered an off -site advertising sign and is prohibited by the Zoning
Ordinance. The sign will need to be removed, moved to the Menards property, or
provided an actual property connection to the Menards' site.
Comprehensive Plan. The Proposed Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan
designates this area for commercial land uses. The B-2 zoning and the proposed multi -
tenant retail and commercial service use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
designation.
Zoning. The property to be subdivided as dock 1, Lots 1 and 2 of Brackey 4 Addition
is proposed to be rezoned from 0, Open Space to B-2, General Business District. The
applicants have applied for a planned unit development concept and general plan
improvements in that it will be a multi- tenant, phased project. The preliminary /final plat
indicates that the property will be split into two tots. The planned unit development
would address cross access and parking utilization in the development. A conditional
use permit is required to allow the car stereo install service, Minor auto repair is a listed
conditional use in the B-2 District.
Subdivision. A preliminary /final plat was submitted as part of this application. The
plat would take Outlot A of Brackey 3 Addition and create dock 1, Lots 1 and 2 of
Brackey 4 Addition for the best I3uy /Bracke Development. A separate outlot A would
� p p
be created for the remaining developable area of this property. The lot line between
Lots 1 and 2 would separate the two phases of the building. Appropriate drainage and
utility easements would be provided as part of the plat, subject to review and approval
of the City Engineer. The park dedication for this property was already received by the
City as part of the previous Brackey Addition.
Street Access. Access for the development would be from Krueger Lane, 60 Street
North and the Menards' parking lot. lien /DOT would require an access permit for the
60 Street access. The Krueger Lane access is aligned with the Kohl's development to
g p
the east. The developer will have an access easement with Menards for the
connection.
Traffic Analysis. The applicant has provided a traffic study for the development as
part of the planned unit development review. The City Engineer will provide a review of
the traffic study in a separate report.

Page 40 of 84
Trails/ Sidewalks. The site plan indicates trail connections to the existing trail on 60
Street North and through the parking lot to Krueger Lane. A sidewalk exists on the east
side of Krueger Lane. The City will need to consider whether to install a crosswalk on
Krueger Lane to connect the sidewalks.
As part of the Park and Trail System Plan, the Planning Commission and Parks
Commission have discussed the need for additional trails in this area. Both the
Planning Commission and Parks Commission have agreed that a trail is needed on the
north side of 58 Street, from Krueger Lane to the Oak Park Ponds development.
Additionally, they agree that a north /south connection is needed west of Menards and
extending north on the west side of the existing wetland to 60 Street. As part of the
planned unit development and subdivision approvals, installation of that trail would be
required now with construction of the Best Buy phase of the development. The Parks
Commission should comment on the sidewalk and trail plans both external to and within
the proposed development.
Setbacks. The B-2 District requires 40 foot front yard setbacks, 10 foot side yard, and
20 foot rear yard setbacks. The building setbacks are met with the proposed buildings
of both phases. All other setbacks, including parking setbacks, are met in the plans.
Parking. According to Section 40115.F of the Zoning Ordinance, shopping centers
shall provide six parking spaces for each 1 ,000 square feet of gross floor area. The
plans indicate a total of 296 parking spaces on site, 172 spaces to be provided for
Phase 1 and 109 spaces to be provided in Phase 2. The parking requirements for this
development is as follows:
Phase 1, Best Buy:
Phase 2, Commercial Space:
The plans indicate the following stalls being provided:

For Phase 1 of development, there are five parking stalls indicated on the northwest
side of the building that will be designated as proof of parking. If the stalls are required
in the future, the landscaped area would be removed. The second phase indicates 11
4
Page 41 of 84
stalls along the entrance drive from Krueger Lane. These stalls are not required to
meet the City parking standards and should be removed from the plans.
All of the parking stalls and drive aisles are designed to comply with Zoning Ordinance
standards. The proof of parking would be allowed, but could be ordered by the City if a
problem occurs with parking.
Loading Areas. The site plan indicates that the loading docks for both buildings are on
the west side of both the Phase 1 and 2 building sections. The docks are totally
enclosed on three sides by the building and walls. The site plan has also indicated the
turning radius and truck movements for the delivery trucks. Within the loading dock
area for Best Buy, an enclosure for the trash compactor is indicated on the plans. With
this enclosure, the compactor will be completely screened. The applicant shall provide
specifics on noise emissions from the compactor for Planning Commission review.
Screening. The rear of the Best Buy and other commercial space backs up to a large
wetland and developable commercial property to the west. All of the loading dock areas
and trash compactor will be screened from the properties directly to the west. The
openings to the loading dock areas could be seen from the south and southwest. The
landscape plan addresses those issues with plantings and transplanted White Spruce
from the site, The Planning commission should comment on the proposed screening.
The building will include heating, air conditioning and mechanical equipment on the roof
structure. The applicant shall provide cross section diagrams indicating that the
equipment will not be visible from Highway 36 and Krueger Lane.
Landscape Plan. A landscape plan has been provided by the applicant. It includes
landscaping around the perimeter of the entire site and the internal site of Phase 1.
Additional landscaping would be added as part of a Phase 2 approval process. The
City Arborist has reviewed the plans and submitted comments in a review as attached.
The landscape plan is subject to review and approval of the City Arborist.
Grading, Drainage and Utility Plans. Grading, drainage and utility plans have been
submitted. The City Engineer has commented on these plans as found in the enclosed
attachments. All grading, drainage and utility plans shall be subject to review and
approval of the city Engineer.
Trash Enclosure. The trash will be stored internally to the building and handled
through the trash compactor area. There will be no exterior storage of materials or
dumpsters allowed in the rear of the building.
Lighting. The Zoning Ordinance requires lighting levels to be held at one foot candle
meter reading as measured from the centerline of a street, or at 0.4 foot candles as
measured at a property line of an adjacent property. There are areas adjacent to the
Menards property that exceed the allowable photometric allowances. The lighting plan
should be adjusted to be compliant.
S
Page 42 of 84
Parking lot lighting throughout the development will be a standard shoe box fixture. All
building light fixtures are also designed to be full cut off. All light fixtures will need to
comply with the Zoning Ordinance.
Building ei ht. The B -2 District specifies a maximum building height of 35 feet. To
the highest point, the parapet of the Best Buy facade is 37 feet, four inches. The
ordinance does allow parapet structures to a maximum height of 38 feet. The walls of
most of the structure are at approximately 28 feet. The building complies with the
Zoning Ordinance.
Architectural Appearance /Design Guidelines. The proposed development is subject
to the City's Design Guidelines that apply to all new commercial development in the
City. The proposed buildings feature a variety of masonry types with both vertical and
horizontal to break up the expanse of the facades. The building contains facade and
roof articulation and variation in color and material to create a visual interest. The
buildin g colors are primary earth tones. The Best Buy building is approximately 90
percent masonry construction and 10 percent glass. The blue EIFS with the yellow sign
area is approximately 20 percent of the Best Buy facade but less than 5 percent of the
building total. The Design Guidelines specify that less than 5 percent of the building
total shall be a primary or vivid color. The approvals will be conditioned such that no
other primary or vivid colors be used on the Phase 2 development.
The Phase 2 development design would be reviewed with the general plan of
development for that phase. A building materials sample board will be required for
Planning Commission review and City Council approvals. The building will meet the
standards of the Design Guidelines but Planning Commission review and City Council
approval is required.
Si na e. The signage requirements for structures in the B District specify a
requirement of 100 square feet of signage or 15 percent of the building facade up to 300
square feet. Each of the tenants in the building would be allowed two wall signs with a
third at rear entrances for delivery doors. Exceeding the allowable area of signage is
done by conditional use permit. Increasing the number of allowable signs is by
variance.
Three walls signs and one freestanding sign have been prepared for Best Buy. The
proposed signs and requirements are as follows:
Wall Sins
Freestandin Mans
Allowable Proposed Number of
sign Area sign Area sins Allowed
300 s+ uare feet 510 s. care feet 3
100 square feet 75 square feet 1
Two Best Buy "ticket" signs proposed, one on the front (east) facade and one on the
Highway 36 (north) facade. The two signs total 492 square feet of sign area. The third
sign is an informational sign for the car stereo install area. That sign is 18 square feet.
6
Number of
Signs Proposed

Page 43 of 84
The freestanding sign is 20 feet in height and includes sign area consisting of 75 square
feet to advertise Best Buy and a future tenant. The Best Buy sign is proposed at 44
square feet for the freestanding sign.
The total Best Buy signage on site is 585 square feet or 285 square feet over what is
allowed. A conditional use permit has been requested to address the additional
signage. Allowing the additional sign area will have little visual impact due to the
minimal percentage of overall facade area devoted to signage for this project. In
support of the request, the proposed signage will have no negative impact on
neighboring uses, traffic, or the provision of public services.
The applicant will need to provide information on how the signs will be lit. Logos and
text portions of signs are allowed to be lit. The "tag" Best Buy logo would be allowed to
be lit, only the text portion of the car stereo install sign could be lit.
Nienard Sign. In May of 1995, the City Council approved a request for a pylon sign for
Menards. The City Council approved the sign as follows: "moved to approve a 200
square foot, 30 foot high pylon sign for Menards as a condition of their previously
granted conditional use permit, with the further condition that the land the sign was
located on be owned by Menards."
When constructed in 1995, the sign was placed on an easement area of property owned
by Mr. Brackey. It is intended that a flag lot would have been created with a strip of land
extending from the Menards property to the location of this sign. This was never
completed. The applicant has three options in addressing this sign issue as part of the
current development request:
1, Remove the Menards sign.
2. Move the Menards sign to property owned by and physically connected to
Menards.
3. Subdivide Brackey 4 Addition to create a parcel of land that extends to the sign
and is legally combined with the primary Menards parcel.
Car Display. The site plan indicates a Geek Squad display car that will be featured on
the sidewalk of the Best Buy store. The vehicle will be an operable car. The City will
limit this display to one car or object at a time as part of the planned unit development
approvals.
Utility Lines. Chapter 1008 of the City Code requires that utility lines as part of a
subdivision of and or land development, be installed and maintained underground. The
City has required this provision for other developments such as the CSM/Lowes
development. The same utility line crossing in front of CSM /Lowes along 60 Street
p y
affects the Brackey /Best Buy project. A condition for utility burial will be placed as part
of the planned unit development approvals and included in the development contract.
Development Contract The applicant will be required to enter into a development
agreement with the City pending approval of the planned unit development. The
7
Page 44 of 84
agreement shall specify the terms of the private and public improvements that will be
done as part of the development process.

RE: Best Buy Request for City Council Approval of Facade Lighting Design
Mr. Johnson
Best Buy is requesting the City Council to approve a Facade Lighting design as per attached Facade
Lighting Exhibit. The exhibit depicts the Front (East) and Side (North) facades during night time
operations (condition the store will operated by for a third of the year). The upper half of the exhibit
depicts the facade utilizing an up light type fixture design. The lower half depicts the same facade
without the requested facade lighting improvements.
It should be stated that the City of Oak Park Heights has adequately communicated, through
ordinance and published design guides, its desire for both quality development design and
avoidance of Tight pollution.
However, the questions, and inherit concerns, Best Buy will voice during the Council hearing is. Do
these same documents provide same concern for good facade illumination design within the
commercial districts? Should measure of illumination design consider more than just the measure
foot candle at grade?
Recent commercial developments have been observed during after dusk operations. The quality of
facade illumination varied. Some, such as Kowalsksi's and Ruby Tuesdays, incorporated facade
lighting into its design successfully. While others, such as Lowe's, appeared devoid of facade
illumination design, affecting negatively the development.
Good facade illumination attempts to soften and transition between the glare and contrast created by
storefront glazing, under canopy lighting and internally illuminated signs. Without softening or
transitioning, under illuminated facades with high contrast light and dark) may appear less inviting or
safe by the public.
We believe this proposal provides good facade illumination design. We hope the council will take into
considerations the forementioned concerns during the review of this request.
Sincerely Yours,
