M/Ulrich, S/Rosenberg to approve the Consent Calendar. I Motion carried 5-0. I I I Council Meeting Minutes -5- July 9, 2002 Item #6 None. Item #7 City Manager Orduno reviewed Staff Report No. 175 regarding a resolution authorizing an amendment to a planned unit development, final development plan and a conditional use permit for the City Bella project located in the southwest corner of Lyndale Avenue and 66th Street. She said the City Council has the option to conduct and close the public hearing this evening and continue action to another meeting. City Bella Project Manager Nordquist presented the City Bella preliminary concept plans and discussed the following related to the project: . Summary housing units - approved 2000, proposed 2002 . Parking analysis - Component, City standard, City Bella proposed . Comparable parking ratios downtown . Each component of project parking . Townhomes parking . Street and median improvements . Access points . Traffic impacts . Building heights . Streetscape . Pedestrian connections . Adjacent land uses . Housing affordability Council Member Sandahl asked about the bridge concept and bollards. City Bella Project Manager Nordquist said no bridge concept was in the plan because ground level movement appeared better. He said bollards are sculptured posts. Council Member Enger asked how many surface parking spaces were on Lyndale Avenue. Mr. Nordquist said there were 13 spaces and a bus pullout. Council Member Enger said these spaces needed to be metered for availability to retail customers, otherwise tenants will use the spaces. He said signage stating parking time limits will be ignored. Mr. Nordquist said meters would be a new idea for Richfield and could be explored for these spaces. He said sign age has been considered. He added that any street parking needs are to be approved by the Public Works Director and could be brought back to the City Council for review. Council Member Enger stated that the Lyndale Hardware site had been found substandard or blighted because of the same parking and driveway now proposed for this development. He said the proposed arrangement appears to be a dangerous situation. Council Meeting Minutes -6- July 9, 2002 Mr. Nordquist said the blighted parking at Lyndale Hardware caused confusion and went over the sidewalk - the proposed parking and driveway do not. He said the same parking concept is at the McDonalds behind Woodlake Centre. Council Member Rosenberg asked if all 13 townhomes were in the higher housing market. She said affordability-housing statistics include Lakeshore Drive, Gramercy and City Bella. Mr. Nordquist said the townhomes were in the higher market. He also said 67% of the affordable housing in the City is in 66th StreetlLyndale Avenue quadrant. Council Member Enger asked how many bedrooms were in the 27 City Bella housing units. He said the Metropolitan Council affordable housing median is $173,000 for a three-bedroom unit. Mr. Nordquist said all units have two bedrooms. He explained the Met Council median is $172,000 for a family of four. Mike Conlan, Gramercy Corporation, said he is working closely with the Met Council and anticipates more City Bella units meeting their criteria. Council Member Enger asked if the Lake Shore Drive crosswalk is controlled. Mr. Nordquist stated discussions have included a flashing light or push button light. He said a street island might be the best control. Council Member Enger read an excerpt from a letter from Colliers Towle regarding the potential inadequacy of the on-site parking allocated to serve the commercial/retail component of City Bella. He asked what had been done to change their opinion. Mr. Nordquist said 41 parking spaces had been provided. Council Member Enger said the Colliers Towle letter does not address on-street parking, but does suggest valet parking loading/unloading lane. He stated opposition to on street parking because it would detract from the streetscape and the plaza area parallel parking was sufficient. Mr. Conlan explained that the retail businesses wanted parking in front of their stores and would support a controlled parking policy. Mr. Nordquist explained the project planning and marketing perspective of the curbside parking influence on the economic health in the downtown area. Council Member Ulrich requested the public hearing be opened because of the large number of people in the audience wishing to address the City Council. City Attorney Thomson clarified that the issues before the City Council tonight are the Final Development Plan (FOP) and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) changes from what was previously approved. She said the City Council should evaluate and focus on changes that legally make a difference to the plan. Council Member Enger requested all the proposed FOP/CUP changes before the City Council be verbally stated. Mr. Nordquist stated all the proposed changes. Carl Cornell, 6615 Lake Shore Drive, stated there was a better use for lots 16 and 17 of Lake Shore Drive than the City Bella project. He said if the buildings are constructed, a majority of Richfield residents won't like it. Clifford Niesen, 6711 Lake Shore Drive, commented on property maintenance problems on the north side of Gramercy. He said he supported the development and believed it would ease some of the maintenance problems. I I I I I I Council Meeting Minutes -7- July 9, 2002 Steven Froemming, 6600 Pleasant Avenue, Apt. 146, asked how people are informed about moving into the complex and what security system will be in place. Mr. Conlan explained the City Bella marketing efforts. He also explained the security system, including video cameras and code system. Vern Luettinger, 6711 Lake Shore Drive, spoke in support of the project. He suggested a coordination of Lake Shore Drive improvements with this project and improved Wood lake Nature Center lighting for safety purposes. Virginia Holst, 6711 Lake Shore Drive, encouraged the City Council to proceed with the development to conclude a long-standing problem with this corner. Speaking as President of the Gramercy Board of Directors and on behalf of the board, the development should proceed to enhance the community. Steve Lindgren, President of the Richfield Chamber of Commerce, speaking on behalf of the Executive Board, encouraged the approval of tonight's resolution to continue with the project as a long-term improvement of the area. He said this mixed-use development is necessary and appropriate. Charles Jones, 6921 Irving Avenue, said the project was glorious and looked forward to living there. He said with all the opposition to some Richfield developments, he believes there are going to be changes regardless if Richfield improves or not; it is either going up hill or down hill. Donna Larson, 6510 Irving Avenue, said she appreciated the project and found it exciting. Randy Johnson, 6711 Lake Shore Drive, spoke in support of City Bella. He said it would be urban living with the added feature of living in the most beautiful City. John Daffer, 6711 Lake Shore Drive, expressed concern about the lack of handicapped parking in the front of Gramercy for residents or guests. He said the City Bella plans presented this evening still has no plans for this parking problem. He expressed concern about parking during construction. He expressed concern about the uncontrolled Lake Shore Drive crosswalk. City Manager Orduno said there is an upcoming meeting with three Gramercy representatives to discuss crosswalk concerns. Council Member Enger suggested that in the interim, a sign stating the law regarding yielding to the pedestrian in the crosswalk be erected. City Manager Orduno said control of the crosswalk needs to go beyond signage. John Sieff, former owner of Lyndale Hardware, stated support for the City Bella project because it will add greatly to improving the 66th StreetlLyndale Avenue area. He complimented the City on some projects in Richfield including Shops at Lyndale, the development at Richfield Bank and a Fortune 500 company such as Best Buy. He said all these improvements and the increase in the number of people employed substantially increase the value of everyone's property; everyone benefits as Richfield improves. Audrey Wagner, 6711 Lake Shore Drive, endorsed and supported the project, especially the plaza, because it is unique and illustrates the compatibility between man made and natural areas. Morris Nilsen, 6800 Logan Avenue, thanked the City Council for their courage to move ahead with the project and that he will be moving into City Bella. Jerry Kosik, 6711 Lake Shore Drive, urged the City Council approval of the project because City Bella is a natural fit as the final piece for that area. Aaron Larson, 6510 Irving Avenue, thanked the City for working with a company like Gramercy and with a corporation that shows courtesy and flexibility in changing lifestyles. Council Meeting Minutes -8- July 9, 2002 Camillo DeSantis, 6508 Newton Avenue, said he was not opposed to the project, but expressed concern about affordable housing. He said the lack of including low-cost housing in developments is irresponsible of the City and will affect school enrollment. He said any development using tax increment financing (TIF) should be expected to include low cost housing. M/Rosenberg, S/Enger to close the public hearinq. Motion carried 5-0. Mr. Nordquist responded to several comments made during the public hearing including the lot restrictions in the center of the development and that no land use covenants restrict the lots' use for open space; construction parking is in a staging area north of Gramercy, but if this becomes inadequate, the developer is required to provide off-site parking for staff review; significant affordable housing is not available in City Bel!a, but is provided through the Section 8 program. Mr. Conlan stated the development west of Gramercy will be townhomes and that a few of the 13 surface parking spaces for guests could be designated as handicapped parking for Gramercy. Council Member Rosenberg stated Hollmann low cost housing funds could be considered for upcoming developments like Lyndale Gateway West. She said there was a need to recognize affordability is not attainable for some and there are those needing low cost housing. Mr. Nordquist stated every project includes broader housing options than any other community and Gateway West is the next opportunity. Council Member Enger said affordable housing needs to be worked on for every development. City Attorney Thomson requested further review and discussion of the 13 on-street parking I spaces with the developer. She said the City Council may wish to direct staff to discuss this issue with the developer and the City Council may wish to continue taking action to the next Council meeting. Council Member Ulrich asked if action could be taken tonight but withhold action on the 13 on-street parking spaces to the next Council meeting. She dislikes delaying the project. City Attorney Thomson said that action was procedurally possible but there could be a problem if additional discussions related to these parking spaces resulted in more necessary changes to the already approved site plan. She said the City Council could express their opinions and concerns tonight which could be included prior to the final action. Council Member Ulrich said delaying does not mean the project would not move forward; the developer could continue working with tonight's assurance. Council Member Enger asked about the parking lot site plan and sod planting plan in the same area which appears as ten less parking spaces. Mr. Nordquist said the landscape site planting plan does not mean any less parking spaces. Council Member Enger supported granting an extension on taking action on this issue because there appears to be a number of inadequate parking issues. He said valet parking would help solidify the plan. He said there are unre30lved parking issues with Gramercy and it's not known if the townhome residents would support losing the surface parking spaces to Gramercy handicapped parking. City Attorney Thomson explained that by State Statute, there are 60 days to take action on a land use application as long as written notice was provided to the applicant within the initial 60 I I I I I _ ~ .......---~~?~.1V ~ Council Meeting Minutes -9- July 9, 2002 days. If no written notice was provided, the application is deemed approved as a matter of law. The application can be extended an a'(jditional 60 days with a written request. City Attorney Thomson suggested discussion of this item be continued to the end of tonight's agenda to provide an opportunity for the City Manager, City staff, the developer and herself to be excused from the Council meeting to further discuss the on-street parking space issues and return to the City Council with a recommendation. She said the parking space concern was brought to her attention this evening. Council Member Rosenberg said she would not be present at the next City Council meeting and believed the public was owed City Council action tonight. M/Sandahl, S/Rosenberg to excuse the City Manaqer, City Attornev and appropriate City staff from the City Council meetinq to continue discussion with the developer reqardinq the 13 on- street parkinq spaces on Lvndale Avenue and return with their recommendation to the City Council at the end of toniqht's aqenda and durinq their absence, the City Council meetinq will continue with the remaininq aqenda items with Actinq City Manaqer Devich. Motion carried 5-0. Item #8 Acting City Manager Devich reviewed Staff Report No. 176 regarding a proposed ordinance amendment to City Administrative Code Chapter III, Subsection 310.39 describing bereavement leave. He said the changes include increasing bereavement leave granted to eligible employees for each allowable occurrence from 16 to 24 hours, expanding the definition of family members covered by the section and providing authority for the City Manager to approve exceptions to the list of family members. Council Member Enger asked if the bereavement leave was additional time off or the use of sick or vacation leave. He said his union agreement and the Civil Service rules for the City of St. Paul grant bereavement leave as part of sick leave. Acting City Manager Devich said bereavement leave is an additional benefit. He explained the difference between sick leave and personal leave benefits. He said all Richfield employee groups, except Firefighters, participate in the personal leave benefit. Council Member Enger said sick and personal leave were the same and suggested the City's policy be modified to have bereavement leave granted as part of personal leave and not an additional benefit. He said the additional days are at the taxpayers' expense. Council Member Sandahl said she supported this ordinance amendment because three days is not nearly sufficient in the loss of a family member. Mayor Kirsch supported the ordinance because travel time alone to attend a funeral could take three days. Council Member Rosenberg said she believed it to be callous not to grant the additional bereavement leave. M/Rosenberg, S/Sandahl that this constitutes the Second Readinq of Bill No. 2002-20 an amendment to the City Administrative Code Chapter III, Subsection 310.39 describinq bereavement leave, that it be published in the official newspaper and that it be made part of these minutes. Motion carried 4-1. (Enger opposed.) Council Meeting Minutes -10- July 9,2002 Item #9 Acting City Manager Devich reviewed Staff Report No. 177 regarding plans and specifications for Phase One and Two of the Outdoor Pool Renovation Project and authorizing advertisement for bids. Jody Dahms, Gremmer & Associates, reviewed the revised pool plans for Phase One and Two, including the bathhouse, concession area and interactive play structure. Council Member Sandahl asked about additional shade because the site plan shows three umbrellas by the concession area. Mr. Dahms said the current five umbrellas would be utilized, with three near concessions and the other two locations yet to be determined. Council Member Sandahl asked if there is a concession entry from the main part of the building. Mr. Dahms said the concession entry is separate, which is the typical design. Council Member Rosenberg said the bathhouse renovation has been controversial, but the work is required because it currently does not meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Recreation Services Director Topitzhofer said it is required that for any renovation project, 20% of the budget must be dedicated to ADA improvements. Council Member Enger asked about the concession serving window on the street side of the building because it appeared small in comparison to the rest of the building. He said it may not attract customers without signage. Recreation Services Director Topitzhofer said the window was minimized to utilize more wall space for storage. He said it is anticipated the street side window would not be used often; 90% of the concession business would be from the inside windows. Council Member Enger asked if more storage was needed since the building was enlarged. He asked the designer to review how to attract customers to the street side concession window. Facilities Manager Payne said the concession building was expanded to accommodate all the equipment needed for cooking and storage. He agreed that attracting customers needed review. Council Member Enger asked about the bid on the pool finish. Mr. Dahms explained the differences between epoxy finish and the diamond bright finish. He said the bid would be for an epoxy finish. Council Member Enger asked about the pool underwater lights. Mr. Dahms said there would be no lights because they have not been used in 20 years. Council Member Enger asked about the cost savings to eliminate the basement and the new addition. Mr. Dahms said the savings were significant. Council Member Enger asked about including a pavement overlay of the parking lot directly south of the existing bathhouse to make it more attractive. I I- I I '':f.!i "''1:'__'" !:;';i Council Meeting Minutes -11- July 9, 2002 Recreation Services Director Topitzhofer said an overlay is currently not included in the renovation contract, but could be considered as an addendum if the bids come in lower than expected. Council Member Enger asked about the bid for the spray pool. Recreation Services Director Topitzhofer said the spray pool is not included at this time, but Gremmer & Associates could be paid to prepare specifications which could delay the current project. Council Member Enger requested that the current bid include a security system for the perimeter of the building because of a concern regarding bicycle thefts. Mayor Kirsch asked when the bids would come before the City Council for consideration. Recreation Services Director Topitzhofer said the City Council will receive the bids on August 13. He explained the reasons for the tree removal around the pool and the replacement plan in Veterans Park. Council Member Enger said that all tree removal complaints for this project can be directed to him. M/Rosenberg, S/Ulrich to approve the plans and specifications for Phases One and Two of the Outdoor Pool Renovation Proiect and authorize staff to proceed with the advertisement for bids for the proiect. Motion carried 5-0. -I Item #7 I The City Manager, City Attorney, City staff and Mr. Conlan returned to the City Council meeting and the City Council continued with the discussion of Item 7. City Manager Orduno said the on-street parking issue was for the City to maintain control of the right-of-way and not to make that area part of the development plan for on-street parking. She explained the two motions required by the City Council to maintain the right of way control. City Attorney Thomson stated if the on street parking included in the FOP, there could be a potential claim by a future developer for a loss in value of the property if the spaces needed to be removed for public safety regulation. She said it was very important for the City to maintain control of the right of way. City Manager Orduno said when the City maintains control, it also means the signage for the spaces is as deemed appropriate by the City. City Attorney Thomson said Mr. Conlan is in agreement with removing the 13 on street parking spaces from the FOP. The City Council asked Mr. Conlan to state his agreement for the record. Mr. Conlan stated agreement with removing the on street parking from the COP. M/Sandahl, S/Kirsch to approve the revised resolution amendinq the final development plan and conditional use permit for the City Bella proiect, located in the southwest corner of Lvndale Council Meeting Minutes -12- July 9, 2002 Avenue and 66th Street with the followinq revisions: Removal of 13 on-street parkinq spaces alonq Lyndale Avenue from the final development plan, removal of the condition that a traffic analvsis be conducted reqardinq on-street parkinq alonq Lyndale Avenue (bullet 2 under paraqraph 3 in the NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED section of the oriqinal resolution) and removal of the stipulation that a traffic analysis be conducted reqardinq on-street parkinq alonq Lyndale Avenue (Stipulation NO.4 under Stipulations of Approval listed in Leqal Basis of Recommendation within Staff Report) and that the followinq amended resolution be adopted, that it be spread in the resolution book and that it be made part of these minutes: RESOLUTION NO. 9205 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THE CITY BELLA PROJECT Motion carried 4-1. (Enger opposed.) This resolution appears as Resolution No. 9205 in Resolution Book No. 74. Council Member Rosenberg said that after her previous vote on City Bella she received considerable and a variety of feedback. She said after tonight's comments, she supports moving forward with the project. Council Member Enger said he is not totally opposed to City Bella, but it is not an attractive project with potential parking problems similar to the current Gramercy situation. Mayor Kirsch stated he has received considerable positive feedback regarding this project. He said staff worked through the parking concerns and, at first, parking may appear tight, but it settles down. Council Member Sandahl said she supported the non-age restrictions for City Bella. She recognizes housing issues in the community and the City will continue affordable housing efforts in developments. Council Member Rosenberg asked for a roll call vote. Council Member Ulrich said she voted in favor of the revised resolution, but expressed concern about unresolved parking problems. Council Member Sandahl said the developer would be required to address parking problems if they continue. Mr. Conlan stated he would continue to be responsive to the City and his buyers in solving problems. M/Sandahl, S/Rosenberg to approve the construction of 13 on-street parkinq spaces in front of the retail business alonq Lyndale Avenue for the City Bella proiect with the costs of construction paid by the developer and with the City retaininq control of the riqht-of-way and that a traffic analysis be conducted reqardinq the 13 on-street parkinq spaces with the costs of the analysis to be paid by the developer.
