Dianna Krogstead, 851 Goodrich Ave., St. Paul, representing Day Care Activities Center, Inc. of Minneapolis urged cour_cil support of her company's proposal.

M/Ludeman_, S/Priebe to approve special use permit to allow far an adult activity center at 7145 Harriet Ave. So. Motion carried 5-0. Item ~~5 COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW LATCH KEY PROGRAM AT CENTRAL SCHOOL BUILDING, 7145 HARRIET AVE. S0. C.L. 272 Mr. Morgan stated that the group is requesting the permit to allow for the expansion of the existing child care facilities located at Central Elementary School. The current program operates within. 2 existing rooms of the school and has proposed expansion into a third. This would allow an increase in enrollment from 40 school age children to 60. Mr. Morgan reviewed staff findings and stated that there is a continuing need for day care facilities in Richfield. There is also demonstrated need for the proposed expansion. The Richfield Latch Key Child Care is currently operating at capacity and has a waiting list of approximately 30 people. Adequate parking and drop off the proposed increase in use. that there are some fire code building. The Richfield Scho Safety Department are working violations. space exists on the site to handle Mr. Morgan summarized by saying violations present in the of Board and Richfield Public together to resolve these Staff, therefore, recommends that the special use permit to allow facilities for 60 children at 7145 Harriet be approved. The Planning Commission also approved the special use permit. Kathy Loken, program director of the Latch Key Day Care Center, answered council questions. Council Member Ludeman cited traffic and safety concerns, particularly at 72nd and Grand, and requested Acting City Manager Morgan to look into a study that would perhaps install a stop sign at this site.

Council Meeting Minutes August 13, 1g8~ Page Five Item ~~6 COUNCIL C SIDE ATION OF REQUE T FO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, AND SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW AN ABBY RESTAURANT TO BE ERECTED ON THE K-MART SITE, 65TH ST. AND LYNDALE AVE. C.L. 276. Mr. Morgan stated that the proposal departs from city requirements in a number of ways. The proposed setback adjacent to 65th St. is 12.5 feet instead of the required mir_imum of ~0 feet. Mr. Morgan said there could be traffic safety and visability problems at that site should the development occur. The applicant has indicated that berming and landscaping will be provided to screen the intersection from headlights. Mr. Morgan further indicated that when the Lyndale/Hub/ Nicollet district plan was initially designed "openness" was a key or central feature throughout the project area. In this specific area the original plan called far one major "anchor" stare to attract large, numbers of consumers. K-Mart is an example of one major retail facility as opposed to numerous smaller businesses with insufficient setbacks as had existed on this site prior to 1979• Staff review indicated that insufficient parking will result on the site if this proposal is approved. Minimum guidelines indicate that 380 parking stalls are necessary on the site, while only 313 would be provided, or 67 short of that number. Mr. Morgan reported that the staff report indicated this development project could possibly set a precedent in terms of being below the standards of the L/H/N redevelopment plan and the Richfield comprehensive plan. Mr. Morgan said that the research and staff time that has gone into the city's formulation plan and L/H/N redevelopment plan was designed to coordinate growth and development "well into the 2000's". Mr. Morgan said it was the city staff's opinion that the facts would support finding that the proposed restaurant development would not be consistent with the city's comprehensive plan and L/H/N development plan, and that adequate parking would not be provided. Because of these findings the proposal would not meet the zoning ordinance requirements for issuance of a special use permit for a restaurant; for issuance of special use permits in general, and for the approval of a planned unit development plan amendment. The Acting City Manager, therefore, recommended that the city council deny the special use permit and PUD plan amendment Council Meeting Minutes August 13, 1884 Page Six for a restaurant on the K-Mart site. Mr. Morgan also?summarized by saying that this is an enormously complex matter an:d further stated that there are many other optior_s for a restau~ar_t to locate in Richfield. The Planning Commission recommended to the council approval of the special use permit and planned unit development amendments with three stipulations: 1. That the proposed restaurant design meet the L/H/N Urban Design Elements; 2. That the design of the berm and landscaping adjacent to the 65th Street and Lyndale Avenue intersection be approved by the Public. Safety Department to insure that proper corner visibility is maintained; and, 3~. That Franchise Associates, Inc. agree in writing to close the restaurant if the city determines that there a parking problem at some future date. Mr. Chuck Nadler, president of Franchise Associates, Ine. which awns the Arby's Restaurant, 65th and Penn Ave. So., appeared to speak before the council in favor of the proposal. Mr. Nadler recognized fourteen of his employeees who were in attendance in the council chambers. He asked to petition the council at that time to "save their jobs" by allowing the Penn Ave. restaurant to be moved to the K-Mart location. He further stated that the median to be installed at 66th and Penn Ave. will "ruin. their business and cause it to close". Mr. Nadler added that alternatives have been explored by his firm for over two years and that the K-Mart site is their final choice. Mr. Nadler presented a petition to the council signed by 166 persons in favor of relocating his business to the K-Mart site. Mr. Dion, 7008 Xerxes Avenue, an employee of Arby's for sixteen years, appeared before the council and urged the council to approve the proposal. Mr. John Schardlow, a Senior Planner for Howard Dahlgrim and Associates, did a study of the peak-parking use last December. He mentioned that there was snow stored or. the site at that time, and that the site was considerably under utilized. Mr. Schardlow also indicated that Franchise Associates, Ir.c. (Arby's) has agreed to mitigate any submitted design inconsistencies. He indicated that the L/H/N plan calls for more intensive redevelopment and that he believed that tnis proposal is in keeping with that. Mr. George Nadler, appeared before the council and expressed his desire for the business to stay in Richfield, Mr. Thomas Harms, 6400 Morgan Avenue, Chairman of the Council Meeting Minutes August 13, 1894 Page Seven Housing and Redevelopment Authority for the City of Richfield, spoke to the overall LIH/N considerations. He said that the plan does away with the "star_d alone sites" such as what is being proposed. The impact of the Godfather Block development on the K-Mart site has yet to be realized and it could become problematical in the future. Mr. Harms was opposed to the proposal and advised council members against it. Mr. Ambrose Zeller, 6812 Antrim Rd., Edina, spoke against the project. He voiced concern regarding heavy traffic at night and possible litter in the neighborhood. Mr. Bob Dingle, 6439 Grand Ave., stated there is a traffic problem now, and he apposes the proposal. Ms. Betty Carr, b400 Lynwood Blvd., stated that the Arby's proposal is inconsistent with the comprehensive plan. She recommended the denial of Arby's proposal. Mr. Steven Quam, liaison from the Planning Commission, appeared before the council and stated that his primary concern is the parking at the K-Mart site, but that the Planning Commission voted ir. favor of the propo-sal. Mr. Hank Miller, 10532 Zion Ave., Bloomington, owns property and apartments near the K-Mart site. He was also apposed to the proposal. Mr. Robert Gunderson, President of Richfield Chamber of Commerce, spoke on behalf of the Ecamonic Development Committe-e--a ~-the Chamber. He strongly recommended approval of the plan and stated it is the best place for a restaurant in Richfield. Ms. Dorothy Sheehan, 401 W. 64 1/2 St., appeared. She lives in the area and would like to keep the area residential. She believes that employees of K-Mart and Arby's would park on her street. She is opposed to the development. Mr. Larry Wozniczka, 6744 Wentworth Ave., appeared in opposition to the PUD amendment. He stated that there are several other options available for development. Mr. Wozniczka also felt another public hearing should be held to insure input by the public. M/Kirsch, S/Bunce to close the hearing. Motion carried 5-0. Council Member Ludemar. stated when the K-Mart site was acquired in 1979: a Country Kitchen Restaurant became displaced from that site. To r.ot allow Country Kitchen to remain, but yet allow Arby's to build a restaurant facility on that site seems to be contradictory. He asked Mr. Nadler whether he had explored other alternatives such as Arthur Treachers site, Council Meeting August 13, 1984 Page Eight Nankin site, Sambo's site, and the Mr. Steak site, as possibilities because they meet parking and zoning ordinance requirements. Mr. Nadler said he did not want to rehabilitate a smaller or similar site, but they are indeed committed to develop an up-scale development to serve Richfield. Mr. Ludeman also had a concern of the food odors that would get into the residential area, especially the nearby apartment buildings. Council Member Priebe asked Mr. Nadler what the investment amount on the property was. Mr. Nadler replied they would have a quarter million in the building and a quarter million in equipment. They will lease the property. Mr. Dennis Kraft, Community Development Director, responded that approximately $14,000 per year in tax increment would be received by the city if development were to occur. Council Member Martin Kirsch stated that the L/H/N redevelopment plan led him to oppose the K-Mart relocation plan for Arby's. Council member Bunce stated that he wanted to keep Arby's in Richfield. M/Priebe, S/Bunce to approve the PUD amendments and to grant the special permit. Motion failed 3-2. Ayes - Priebe, Hamilton, Bunce Nays - Ludeman, Kirsch M/Ludeman, S/Kirsch to deny the special use permit and modifications to the PUD based on the following staff in ings: 1. The proposal departs from the requirements of the zoning ordinance in a number of ways. 2. The Franchise Associates, Inc, proposal is inconsistent with the comprehensive plan. 3. The proposal would also be inconsistent with the L/H/N redevelopment plan. 4. Testimony at the previous Planning Commission meeting indicated that adjacent apartment owners and residents had cone-erns about negative elements such as noise, traffic, trash and glare which would emanate from the site. 5. The City Attorney's office had concluded that the development agreement between the City and the K-Mart developer does not specifically preclude the development proposed by Arby's as it does r.ot address the issue of additional businesses on the site. Council Meeting August 13, 1984 Page Nine 6. The proposed use of metal panel type roof and white color of the restaurant are not consistent with L/H/N Urban Design Guidelines. Ayes - Hamilton, Ludeman, Kirsch Nayes - Bunce, Priebe Motion. carried 3-2. Item ~~10 COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENT, WHICH WOULD EXTEND THE TERMS OF THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS TO FOUR YEARS. (SECOND READING.) M/Bunce, S/Priebe to approve moving this item up to accomodate the Rich field Sun deadline. Motion carried 5-0. Mr. Morgan stated that the Charter Amendment, provides that commencing with the 1987 election the Mayor shall serve for a term of three years, and with the 1990 election the Mayor and at~- large council member of the city council would serve a four-year term. Commencing with the 1988 election the district council members shall serve for a term of four years. The intent of the amendment is to coincide with statewide and national elections which are held bi-annually or in even number years. Ms. Sue Sandahl, 7601 Bryant Ave., Presz~~nt of the Charter Commission said that the Charter Commission by unanimous vote urges the council to adopt this Charter Amendment. She believed that it will save the city approximately $10,000 per year by not having off year elections and it will increase voter participation in the city elections. It would result in more stability in long range planning and policy making, and projects could be seen through to completion with the same council. M/Kirsch, S/Bunce to close the he°arir.g. Motion carried 5-0. M/Bunce, S/Ludeman to deny ordinance amendment. Motion carried 5-0. Council Meeting Minutes August 13, 1884 Page Ten M/Bunce, S/Priebe to re uest the Charter Commission. to put this amendment on the November, 19 4 general election ballot for ir_put from the public. Motion failed 2-3. Ayes - Bunce, Priebe Nays - Hamilton, Ludeman, Kirsch Item ~~7 COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW SECOND STORY ACCESSORY APARTMENT, 6745 - 12TH AVENUE Acting Manager Morgan stated that Mrs. Norma J. Sims, 6745 - 12th Ave., is proposing to remodel the second story of her house for use as an accessory apartment. Such use is allowable by special use permit on collector streets such as 12th Avenue. Mr. Morgan reviewed the findings by staff as follows: 1. The site abuts on 12th Ave. which is a collector street; 2. Two off-street parking stalls will be provided for each unit, one of which will be enclosed; 3. There will be only one access to the site; and, 4., The proposal will not be detrimental to the public welfare. The city has determined that the slightly increased density in associated activities generated by a two family home is appropriate on arterial and collector streets. Mr. Morgan stated that staff recommends approving the special use permit for an accessory apartment. Same conditions required of a variance have not been satisfied. Staff recommends denial of the variance. The Planning Commmission unanimously voted that the special use permit for an accessory apartment and for the 5-foot sideyard setback variance be approved. Ms. Norma Sims spoke on behalf of her proposal. She said very little, if any, Changes would occur outside. She also stated that her neighbors have been contacted and are very supportive of her plans. Council Meeting Minutes August 13, 1884 Page Eleven Mr. Steve Quam, 6421 James Ave., representative on the P1anning Commision, urged the council to consider an ordinance change that requires the 5 foot setback for single family residential structures. Mr. Quam recommended that the cou-Heil look at an ordinance change in this regard. M/Ludeman, S/Bunce to close the hearing. Motion carried 5-0. M/Kirsch, S/Ludeman to approve the requests for the special use permit and for variance. Motion carried 5-0. Item ~~8 COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE AND AN AMENDMENT TO THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITION TO EXISTING BUILDING AT 1912 . EAST 66TH STREET. Mr. Morgan said that the applicant, Mr. Ray Wood, owner of Northstar Bumper Exchange, wishes to construct an addition on his existing building. He is proposing to construct a 104 foot by 80 foot addition onto the west side of the existing building which would have a front-yard setback of 54 feet and a street- side yard setback of 15 feet. The rear-yard setback would match the 2 foot setback of the existing building. Mr. Morgan cited staff review: 1. That the proposed use of the site is not consistent with the city's comprehensive plan; 2. The proposal would meet city off-street .parking guidelines for design and number of parking stalls provided on the site; and, 3. The proposed use would not result in congestion of the surrounding streets. He indicated that the staff found there may be special conditions on the site, and denial of the variance request would not preclude reasonable use of the property. Staff recommends that the special use permit be granted, but that the variance be denied. Planning Commission also-unanimously recommended that the special use permit be approved. However, a tie vote resulted on the variance approval. Mr. Bob Var.Ho, spoke on behalf of Northstar Bumper. He stated that the value of the addition would be between $200,000 ar.d $240,000. He also stated that the entire addition is to be used for storage. Council Meeting Minutes August 13, 1984 Page Twelve M/Ludeman, S/Kirsch to close the hearing. Motion carried 5-0. M/Ludeman, S/Priebe to grant the special use permit and variance as requested. Motion carried 5-0. Item ~~9 COUNCIL ONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR REZONING FROM C-1 LIMITED BUSINESS TO C-2 GENERAL COMMERCIAL, TO ALLOW A TIRE STORE AT 7645 NICOLLET AVENUE. Mr. Morgan stated that the rezoning would facilitate a proposed tine store at the site formerly occupied by a service station.. The building had been vacant for the past 18 months. Mr. Morgan advised that a rezoning may be initiated by a petition of owners of no less than 50 percent of the lard within 300 feet of the proposed rezoning. The applicant has received signatures for 51.6 of the abutting property and has fulfilled this requirement. The staff report indicated that a rezoning at this location would not provide zoning district continuity. The staff believes this would be an encroachment into the residential' area. Also, because the rezoning would not be consistent with the cityts comprehensive plan, staff recommends denial of this rezoning request. On unanimous 8-0 vote the Planning Commission recommended denial of the rezoning application. Walter Schult, 7633 Nicollet Ave., spoke in opposition to the zoning change. John Geeske, 7644 - 1st Ave., also spoke against the rezoning. .. (Council member Bunce left the meeting at 10:00 P.M.) M/Ludeman, S/Kirsch to close the hearing. Motion. carried 4-0.

(FIRST READING) Bill 1984-18 Transitory Ordinance Na. 17.15 Mr. Morgan said that a petition had been received from Market Plaza, Inc. and the owner of Bridgemans Restaurant requesting that the city vacate a portion of Graham Avenue lying between 65th Street and 66th Street. Assuming that the planned sale of property by the HRA to the Market Plaza developer proceeds as planned, this petition would include 100 of the abutting property owners of the street to be vacated. The vacated street would be utilized for pedestrian amenities such as pathways and eating areas for the proposed condominium project. Vehicular and pedestrian access to Bridgemans would be maintained. There would be additional traffic on 66th Street and Rae Drive, but it would result in safer conditions on 66th Street. The vacation would generate a tax income of $2,400 as part of the Market Plaza Development. Staff therefore recommends that the city council approve the vacation. The Planning Commission also voted 7-1 to approve the vacation. Mr. Richard Bloom, Derrick Land Development Co., showed the council site plans and discussed traffic counts. Ken Anderson, a traffic engineer with Westwood Engineering, answered council questions regarding traffic counts. Mr. Perry Gillfillin, 6615 Lakeshore Drive, spoke in opposition to the closing of Graham Avenue. Ms. Betty Carr, b400 Lynwood Blvd., said it is easier to go on Graham Avenue than on Lyndale Avenue to get to the Past Office. She is .opposed to the Graham Avenue vacation.
