ITEM #4 CONSIDER A REQUEST FOR A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A MIXED USE BUILDING AT 101 66TH STREET EAST. (STAFF REPORT NO. 10) Council Member Hayford Oleary presented Staff Report 10. Council Member Hayford Oleary asked about the rejection of the proposal. Interim Community Development Director Poehlman explained that if Council were to deny the proposal the applicants could rezone the area for mixed use and then propose the same plan again or another plan that could be smaller or larger that would be approved for that zone. Council Member Hayford Oleary also asked about restricting the number of units under the PUD process. Interim Community Development Director Poehlman stated that per the Comp plan the district would allow council to restrict the number of units and doing so would not change the outcome of the proposed project as it would only be a couple of units; the developer’s costs would also be Council Meeting Minutes -5- January 11, 2022 higher which limit the number of affordable housing they could provide and could increase the subsidy necessary to make the project work. Council Member Hayford Oleary questioned the use of restrictions of the retail space. Interim Community Development Director Poehlman explained that Council can restrict the retail uses to think about how the retail space would affect the neighborhood and gave an example of Plaza 66 commercial development. Council Member Hayford Oleary also asked about what the City can do if the developer does not follow through with the installation of the headlight brush for the neighbor across from the parking ramp and questioned the height of the brush or fencing that would be installed. Interim Community Development Director Poehlman explained that they are required to do so per conditions of the PUD and the City could withhold the Certificate of Occupancy. Staff asked the developer to include Staff on any correspondence with the neighbor to make sure that it happens. Additionally, the developer could also create an escrow account to ensure the installation. In reference to the height of the brush or fence, Interim Community Development Director Poehlman stated that they would have to apply for a variance request; since this is a unique situation that could warrant the request being granted. Council Member Hayford Oleary also asked about the effect of the solar panels on the house across the street. Interim Community Development Director Poehlman deferred to the developer to answer that question and stated that staff review of the plan agrees that there is not an effect on the solar panels across the street. Council Member Supple asked about the traffic monitoring in the area. Interim Community Development Director Poehlman explained that traffic monitoring is to measure the volume of traffic and safety concerns; there will be a no-right turn sign but that will not be monitored by public works or the police department as it is a recommendation and stated that the residents of this building will be a part of the neighborhood too and should not feel unwelcome. Council Member Supple also asked about the water pressure. Interim Community Development Director Poehlman stated that pressure would not be impacted as a result of this project. Council Member Trautmann asked about the possibility to mitigate any financial harm caused by the impact on the solar panels of the neighbor across the street and also asked about the repercussions if the water pressure is affected by the building. City Attorney Tietjen stated that ensuring no financial loss might be something we could look into but further research would be needed. Interim Community Development Director Poehlman stated that the City monitors the water pressure for emergency purposes and that Public Works will continue to monitor it throughout the process. Council Member Whalen asked if a smaller project is even financially realistic for this site. Interim Community Development Director Poehlman explained that that those size projects are hard to fund and it would make it difficult for the developer. Council Member Whalen followed up with a question regarding affordable units. Interim Community Development Director Poehlman explained that evaluation of this project by the HRA is preliminary and this is just a proposal by the developer and the financial consultant will be able to evaluate for more affordability. If the Council wanted to approve a smaller project the Tax Increment gap increases and it cannot be filled. Mayor Regan Gonzalez asked for further clarification on the rejection of the PUD and what the impact would be if the number of units was dropped to 75 per acre. Interim Community Development Director Poehlman explained that if the PUD is not approved the developer could ask for the property to be rezoned for mixed use which can prompt for a larger project to be developed and if the number Council Meeting Minutes -6- January 11, 2022 of units were to be lowered it would not have much of an impact on traffic because it would only be three units less. Council Member Supple asked the developer about the impact of the removal of the commercial space for more residential and also asked for a little background on the reason why the original plan of six-story plan was only brought down to five-story instead of going to four-story. Daniel Oberpriller, North Bay Companies, explained that they do not want to have a negative effect on the neighborhood and will work with the neighbors to address any issues. Mr. Oberpriller stated that the lowering of the building to 4 stories would create smaller units but not necessarily affect the number of units and that lowering the height would not have much of an effect on the shadow cast. He also explained the financial need for the commercial space and shared that they would like a local business to occupy the space. Council Member Hayford Oleary asked if there was more information about the impact on the solar panels. Amanda Pederson, DJR Architecture, explained that the design software that they use for the models are drawn simulate the shadows cast at any given time throughout the year with accuracy. Mr. Oberpriller ensured Council that they will be working with the homeowner on the impact the building has on the efficiency of the solar panels. Council Member Whalen asked if the developer could speak to the idea of fewer larger units to provide more family units and if the City were able to provide more of a subsidy for deeper affordable units. Mr. Oberpriller understood the need for family housing but does not see this property as a viable option for that. He also stated that North Bay has tried to make this proposal the best it can be now and there may be changes for it in the future. Interim Community Development Director Poehlman explained that this is the final decision on the land use approval and not necessarily the specific units in the building. Council Member Whalen shared that he hears the neighbors’ concerns and appreciated the Staff including those concerns in the resolution but encouraged the developer to work with the City to make it more affordable. Council Member Trautmann thanked North Bay for taking the concerns seriously and thanked the neighbors for their concerns and explained the investments that the City must make to create a better experience for all residents. Council Member Trautmann shared that he is generally in favor of this project and appreciated the commercial space use that the developer proposed as an individually owned business instead of a national chain and that the site has been unsightly and unused for a decade. Council Member Hayford Oleary shared is general favor of the development with further concerns and amendments and appreciated the efforts of the developer for the concerns from the neighborhood. Council Member Supple understood the need for housing, the fiscal constraints on the developer, and appreciated the input from neighbors but was torn on making a decision and showed interest in the amendments that Council Member Hayford Oleary would like to see. Council Member Whalen added that this points the City in a good direction for the future of the area and builds more community in this area and appreciated the neighbors vocalizing their concerns. Mayor Regan Gonzalez shared her concerns with the project if it was rejected and how that would affect future proposals. Mayor Regan Gonzalez echoed Council Member Whalen in the need for more diversity of unit sizes. Mayor Regan Gonzalez also showed interest in the amendments that Council Member Hayford Oleary would propose. Council Meeting Minutes -7- January 11, 2022 Council Member Hayford Oleary reminded residents to contact him with any concerns with the project and also recognized the change that the development is in line with the Comp Plan that was already approved. M/Hayford Oleary, S/Trautmann to approve the attached resolution approving a Planned Unit Development, Final Development Plan and Conditional Use Permit for a mixed use building at 101 66th Street East. RESOLUTION NO. 11931 RESOLUTION APPROVING A FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AT 101 66TH STREET EAST Council Member Hayford Oleary stated an additional condition to the PUD to provide the same fencing to each neighbor on adjacent to the properties on Stevens Ave and 1st Ave. M/Hayford Oleary, S/Supple to add a condition that the developer add a continuous fence six feet in height for the property line bordering 6616 Stevens Ave S with the consent of cooperation of the owner of 6616 Stevens Ave and existing shrubs to be replaced with similar on the developer’s property. Council Member Trautmann asked for clarification on the need for a variance for the fence. Interim Community Development Director Poehlman clarified that a variance would be needed for the property to the East of the development. Council Member Whalen asked for further clarification on the need for this condition from the property owner. Council Member Hayford Oleary stated that this condition comes from the feedback received from a previous meeting and attempted to reach the property owner but was unsuccessful; the clause of “with consent of cooperation” made it so the condition could be removed if the property owner does not want the fence. City Clerk Sinning took roll call vote on the amendment: Regan Gonzalez: AYE Supple: AYE Trautmann: AYE Hayford Oleary: AYE Whalen: AYE Motion carried 5-0. Council Member Hayford Oleary also asked to formalize the commitment that the developer made regarding the solar power generation. M/Hayford Oleary, S/Supple to attach a condition that the developer cooperate with the property owner of 112 E 66th Street to mitigate any reduction of the solar power generation capacity by shading of the building. City Clerk Sinning took roll call vote on the amendment: Regan Gonzalez: AYE Supple: AYE Trautmann: AYE Hayford Oleary: AYE Whalen: AYE Council Meeting Minutes -8- January 11, 2022 Motion carried 5-0. Council Member Hayford Oleary suggested a discussion of the shift the driveway closer to the south to more align with the driveway of the property to the east at 6615 Stevens Ave instead of the living area. Council Member Whalen shared that shifting the driveway closer to the southern property does not solve the issue entirely and thought about adding something above the driveway to block some of the lighting as the vehicles come out of the driveway. Council Member Hayford Oleary mentioned that it is when the vehicles are coming out of the driveway at the peak that the lighting would be at its highest which is causing the problem and there wouldn’t be anything that the developer could place at the end of the ramp to stop that lighting from happening. Council Member Hayford Oleary asked staff if there is anything else that they have thought of and Interim Community Development Director Poehlman stated that there was not anything else that they could think of and they will continue to work with the developer throughout the process to help mitigate the headlights. Council Member Supple reluctantly voted to approve the proposal but stated that there must be continual work with the developer to make it the best for the neighborhood. City Clerk Sinning took roll call vote on the main motion with amendments: Regan Gonzalez: AYE Supple: AYE Trautmann: AYE Hayford Oleary: AYE Whalen: AYE Motion carried 5-0 ITEM #5 CITY MANAGER’S REPORT City Manager Rodriguez invited Nicholas Kelley from the City of Bloomington Public Health Division who presented City of Richfield statistics and shared how everyone is affected by this pandemic and urged residents to help each other. Council Member Hayford Oleary asked about home testing statistics. Mr. Kelley stated that the statistics are undervalued as they are only lab tests and urged residents that if they are sick to stay home. Council Member Hayford Oleary also asked for clarification of a high quality mask. Mr. Kelley explained differences of the masks. Council Member Whalen stated his confusion due conflicting messages around the intensity of the amount of cases and hospitalization rates. Mr. Kelley stated that the new variant is more transmittable but it is less severe which can cause the volume of cases to increase and the hospitalizations are the most severe cases that need medical intervention. Mr. Kelley also stated that Covid is not going to go away and it’s how we address this issue as a society will dictate how will live with Covid. Council Member Supple asked about the peak of the Omicron variant. Mr. Kelley stated that it is projected to be at the end of January. Council Meeting Minutes -9- January 11, 2022 Council Member Trautmann stated that even during a crisis that we are capable to have a logical conversation. City Manager Rodriguez thanked Community Health Services Administrator Jennifer Anderson for her continued support in this and gave a presentation that explained staff impacts during Covid, current city Covid mitigations, federal vaccination program, local mask mandate concerns, and the options for Council to either implement: option one, a local mask mandate; or option two, pass a resolution that recognizes the spike in Covid cases and strongly recommends vaccination, wearing masks, testing, and staying home when sick. Council Member Whalen asked about the next steps in the possible closure of buildings. City Manager Rodriguez stated that the community center may need to close along with limiting the number of people in the building but staff will wait for more numbers before making a decision. Council Member Supple asked about staff at water plant. City Manager Rodriguez will follow up with specifics about back up staff. Support Services Supervisor Anderson shared the concerns and confrontations that happened during the state mask mandate and how it was enforced or lack thereof. Mayor Regan Gonzalez asked Mr. Kelley if there is any way to calculate the impact of implementing a mask mandate in Richfield. Mr. Kelley stated that the data that they have seen on mask studies have been all over the board so there is not a confident study that could calculate the impact due to the variables with masks. City Manager Rodriguez shared her worries of the impact of a mask mandate on staff and delivering services along with the local businesses that would have to enforce the mandate. City Manager Rodriguez stated that if there was a way to ensure that the mask mandate would help end the pandemic, staff would recommend a mask mandate; however, that is not the case. Council Member Hayford Oleary wondered about creating a limit of scenarios that we would use staff resources to enforce a mask mandate and still make it against the law not to wear a mask. City Manager Rodriguez stated that it might cause confusion in the community which can still take staff time by funneling calls. City Manager Rodriguez also stated that due to the rapid transmission of this variant we would not be able to implement a mask mandate as quickly as Minneapolis has done. City Manager Rodriguez stated that the staff recommendation is for option two, to pass a resolution, as this option can be released to the community quickly and staff can continue to evaluate the situation for future mitigations if necessary. Council Member Whalen asked Mr. Kelley about data in relation to long term impacts of covid. Mr. Kelley stated that it is a concern that health officials have and it will continue to be a concern for the future as a third of covid cases tend to have longer than clinical symptoms. Council Member Supple shared that she is in favor of a resolution due to the time constraints and that it does not add more stress to our front line workers. Council Member Trautmann echoed the comments of Council Member Supple and affirmed the judgement of City Manager Rodriguez and City Staff. Council Member Hayford Oleary clarified that staff could create still a local emergency if needed and also stated that this is a tough decision to make without the backing of the State. Council Member Hayford Oleary hesitantly shared that he is okay with option two due to the fact that this decision is based upon logistics instead of what is best for public health. Council Meeting Minutes -10- January 11, 2022 Council Member Whalen echoed the comments of Council Member Hayford Oleary and asked how we can be creative about addressing the needs to protect public health and city staff issues. Council Member Whalen questioned the implementation of a mask mandate and closing or limiting people in city buildings till the end of the month which could help slow the spread of the Omicron variant in Richfield. City Manager Rodriguez shared in the frustration with the Council that this decision is a difficult one to make and wished that this was carried out at a state, federal, and global level and stressed that staff has already been pushed to the limits over the past two years and continuing to do so could have long lasting effects on staff morale. City Manager Rodriguez stated that local businesses can have their own mask mandates to enforce. Mayor Regan Gonzalez reflected on the affects that covid has had on everyone’s lives. Mayor Regan Gonzalez supported option two due to the consideration of what is feasible for the City to carry out. Mayor Regan Gonzalez asked about regional conversations if the state or federal governments are not going to implement public health mandates. Mr. Kelley stated that there are conversations being conducted in the metro that support health care and capacity issues and shared that partners across the region are having the same conversations about best serving the community and are coordinating with partners the best that they can. Council Member Hayford Oleary asked that staff continue to monitor the situation and City Manager Rodriguez stated staff will keep council informed. Council Member Whalen stated that since a mask mandate is unlikely to happen that the City try to be more proactive with deferring programs, limiting services, and providing testing and masks to the community. Council Member Whalen asked about the availability of high quality masks. Mr. Kelley stated that there are plenty of high quality masks available in the supply chains now compared to two years ago. City Manager Rodriguez stated that the suggestions made by Council Member Whalen would be taken into consideration by staff. Council Member Trautmann shared a word of support to the suggestions given by Council Member Whalen and placed trust into the executive staff to know where city staff resources are and to make the decision to better the community and to be able to allocate resources to make sure that residents survive the pandemic. Support Services Supervisor Anderson stated that the Minnesota Department of Health has allocated rapid tests to local public health departments and that they would go to community organizations that are experiencing barriers to being tested. Council Member Supple asked about masks being delivered to more vulnerable community members and organizations. City Manager Rodriguez appreciated the suggestion given and assured council that staff will follow up with these ideas. Council Member Whalen expressed urgency in this matter and stated that there should be a shift of resources to address this issue. Council Member Hayford Oleary agreed with Council Member Whalen and stated that if the mask mandates in Minneapolis and St. Paul are effective that other long term projects should be put on hold. Council Member Supple shared that this is a crisis and is a priority and anything that the city can do to increase access to masks and testing are all important and put faith in the public health experts to state what would have the biggest impact. Council Meeting Minutes -11- January 11, 2022 Mayor Regan Gonzalez agreed with other council members about the shift of resources as the city continues to monitor the pandemic. ITEM #6 CONSIDER A RESOLUTION TO COMMUNICATE AND RESPOND TO THE RECENT SURGE IN COVID-19 CASES (STAFF REPORT NO. 11) Followed by the City Manager’s Report discussion. M/Supple, S/Hayford Oleary to approve the attached resolution urging residents, employees and guests in Richfield to take all reasonable protective actions, such as wearing appropriate face coverings, maintain social distancing in public spaces, staying home when sick and getting vaccinated, if possible, in order to reduce the spread and negative impacts of COVID-19 during this period of infection surge caused by the Omicron variant.
