Paglil 2 RlPOIT 0' VILLAGE PLANNER ORLYN HILLEa Case No. 86-34. Special Use Permit for Renovation/Expansion of Fire Station No. 1. 3245 New Briahton Road. Lake Johanna Volunteer Fire Department Planner briefly summarized the background of the fire station renovation and explained ihis item was continued after the November 5th Planning Commission meeting to allow the fire personnel to draw up a set of guidelines outlining social use of the building for Council review. Hiller reviewed the Plannina Commission recommendations per the November 5th minutes and stated their I concerns related to use of the facility for social activities, frequency of use, types of functions held there, t~ of functions, size of groups and thet the facility not bec~ a Public Hall. Planner stated the Planning Commission recommended approval based on the '. . conditions outlined in their minutes of November 5th. He noted that the proposed landscaping should enhance the area and that there is no exterior lighting being proposed at this time with the exception of an entry light and possibly a light over the bay doors. Hiller noted Planning Commission recompanded approval of a 12 foot Front Setback Variance based on the fact that the building is currently setback less than the 40 ft. required and the fact that the steep slope to the rear of the lot causes genuine hardship. Fire Chief Dan Winkel introduced Attorney Roger Jensen, Architect Steve Klieneman, Deputy Chief Dave Christensen, Fire Department Treasurer Roger Luehrs, CaQBittee for Renovation Hambers Dale &ickleberg and Wayne Johnson. Winkel reViewed the reasons for the axpansion request: 1. Additional Office Space. 2. Safety - increased space in bay areas where trucks are parked. 3. Building needs to be brought up to code requirements. 4. Increase size of training facilities. 5. Structural problems - water leaking through cinder blocks. 6. Hose Tower to dry fire hoses. Kayor asked whet the occupancy permit limit would be for the structure. Fire Chief stated, with the addition, 1 person per 15 sq. ft. .with tables set, up or one person per 7 sq. ft. with only chairs set up "'are the c~rrent requirements. Winkel noted using the formula of 1 person per 15 'sq. ft. occupancy could be set at 133 people, however Fire Karshall is allowed to grant a 10% increase to that number if certain conditions are met, therefore occupancy coyld be as high aa 150. Fire Chief pioposed occupancy limit of 100 people for a non-fire department function, as per item U8 in the guidelines submitted. Hansen complemented Fire Chief on the guidelines and plan for renovation submitted. She aaked if occupancy of the building would be exceeded when joint caQBunity training seaaions were scheduled at the st.tion. Winkel stated they would probably exceed occupancy limit during joint city training session and also durins certain functions sponsored by the LJVFD. He noted that the annual Christmas Breakfast sponsored by.the department is well attended, however not all people are in the building at one time. Hansen asked if Winkel thought the occupancy limit would be high enough. . Winkel stated he thought it would be sufficient. There was discussion regarding ample number of exits from the building, color and material proposed for exterior of building, and estimated costs for renovation. Council asked Fire Chief if the renovation costs would be paid for from the fire department penaion fund. . "inut.. QI t~ lapl.f CO\lncU ....U.... tlticN\llw 8. llla6 Pal' 3 IiI'."

Minor Subdivision of Lot North of Lake Johanna Boulevard and East of Tony Schmidt Park - Mark Anderson Council wa. referred to Planner'e ~randua (11-25-S6) and Plannins Commi..ion minuta. (12-3-86). Planner axplainad tha applicant is requa.tins to .plit the parcel exactly in two, and both lots would exceed the R-1 ordinanca requir...nt. in te~ of . diman.ion and .rea. Hiller noted that the property does not have frontase on Lake Johanna Blvd., instead sa ins acce.. over an eas...nt directly we.t of the property. He advised City .taff ha. been unable to determine if the ea....nt shown on the plat i. an access ea.ement, sranted to the City for seneral use. and if it will provide permanent and unrestricted access for the applicant. Planner noted that the applicant has retained the services of an attorney to search the status of the easement SO that documented proof can be provided to the City for review by City Attorney. Planner explained the diacussion at Plannins Commission reI shared driveway situations. He stated that since both lots front the easement this is not the usual shared driveway which is sometime. created by a lot split. He noted the fact that the problem of lons term maintenance on the easement may arise and could create future problem. for the City. The other concern of the Planning Commis.ion wa. the resolution of the status of the easement, therefore Planner recommended it be the applicant's responsibility to provide documented proof, for review by City Attorney. He reviewed condition. of approval. as rec~ded by Plannins Commi..ion in their minute. of 12-3-86. Miller explained he consulted with the Engineer reI utility connections. AlthouSh Enaineer prefers the approach that would allow utilities to be dedicated to the City fOr maintenance and provide better. fire protection, he stated it i. the applicants deci.ion as to how the services will ~e constructed. Hiller noted the City will have to review the utilitY'lnstallation plan to ... it meeta code requirements. He advised the applicant will also be respon.ible for construct ins and maintainina a private driveway to provide acce.. to the lot.. Planner stated that if the .pplicant take. the approach of utilities dedicated to the City for maintenance, the Enaineer alao .ulle.tad the installation. be to aach lot individuslly. Mayor aakad who would be responaibla for maintenance of the roadway if the applicant aall. the property. Miller stated there would have to be a covenant attached to the deed of the property; maintenance responsibility would be shared by the three or four persona who will use the road for accesa and it will be their responaibility to work out an asreemen~. Donald Obbariua, 1619 Lake Johanna Blvd, expressed concern that the improvement . of the roadway will intensify the drainase problem problem that currently exists in that area. He atated he is not opposed to the lot split; only how it will affect drainase or if it will cause damage to open space. Obbarius advised he has diacussed the drainaae problems with the County Enaineer. After discussion. it was the general concensus of the Council that approval of this matter could be conditioned upon the Ensineer's review of plans for construction of the private driveway and roadway improv...nt. There was discussion regarding City's responsibility to construct the roadway if the easement belongs to the City. It waa the Planner's opinion that the City haa to assure access to the residents, if easement in fact belongs to the City, however, the easement is not wide enough to meet City atandards for a public street. He stated the City should make provision to see that the street is developed in such manner that it does not create more drainage problema. . Minutea of the Regular Council Meeting, December 8, 1986 Page 5 Hicks asked the applicant what material he proposed for the improvement of the roadway. Mark Anderson stated he is proposing to use gravel on the roadway I he has not explored the costa for paving the road at this tima. Hicka noted it would be more difficult to control water runnins down a gravel roadway than a paved street. Hicks moved, seconded by &an.en, that Council approve Case No. 86-38, Minor SUbdiVision, subject tal . 1. The applicant submittins proof of the status of the easement and it's review by the City Attorney. 2. The applicant beinS responaible for installation, includins all costs, of utility services to the lots. The desisn of th.s. services shsll ..et City standarda and shall be approved by the City Engineer if the applicant elects to dedicate them to the City for future maintenance. 3. The spplicant is reeponsible for construction and subsequent owners are responsible for the maintenance of the access driveway. 4. The applicant aubmittins a resistered survey for City adminiatrative approval prior to recording tha subdivision. 5. The City Ensineer approving driveway plan that addresses the potential drainage problem. In discussion, the question was raised regarding City responsibility in the event the applicant constructs the road and dedicates maintenance of the utilities to the CitYI who would bear the costs of road repair should the City find it necessary to aervice the utilities. It was suggested that the City Attorney review the propoaed application for any unforeseen conditions which may affect the City. Sather suggested the motion should include a condition for the applicant submitting documented status of the easement and subsequent review by the the City Attorney and that the City Attorney draft a covenant for the lots which includes installation and subsequent maintenance of utility services and those further would have to be approved by the Engineer in terma of their design and function. . Mayor Woodburn agreed. but suggested the applicant draft the agreement including the items mentioned by Sather, for review by the City Attorney. Hicks moved to ~d the motion, seconded by Sather, adding the followins: Under Item Ill, after Attorney: "and the finding that the access is Pllrmanent and unrestricted. 6. The City Engineer review and advise Council regarding driveway and utility plans. 7. Covenants neceasary for maintenance of the proposed driveway and utility installations, to be discussed by Council at a future meet ins, pending City Engineer's review and recommendation to the Council. In discussion, it wa~ noted this matter would come before Council at a future time for clarification on the easement, utility installation, maintenance of . the roadway and utilities and drainage issue. Amended motion carried unanimously. (4-0) Original motion as amended carried unanimously. (4-0) Case No. 86-37. Site Plan Review for Conversion of Shaw Lumber Site to Public Hall Use. 3776 Connelly Avenue - Louis Walsh Council waa referred to Planner's memorandum (11-25-86) and Planning Commission Minutes (12-3'86). _. __n_ ----------- -------- - _n_______n__ ------------- Hinutes of the Regular Council Heeting, December 8. 1986 Page 6 Planner explained applicant proposes to convert building to public use, charitable gambling, which is considered "co_rcial recreation" and is a permitted use in the B~2 .District. He noted this item is reviewed by Council to assure the adequacy of off~street parking. Louis Walsh, owner of property, reviewed for Council the current lighting on site and stated it was his opinion lighting is adequate for security of the parking area. He stated he would be willing to placa additional lighting on site or modify the current liahting if recompended by Council Walsh provided Council with a copy of the current liahtina plan. The Council was also advised an off-duty police officer would be patrolling the parkina area during hours of operation. Walsh addressed the aesthetics of the building, advisina Council he plans some upgrading of the building exterior. He noted the signage will be . replaced to meet the current requirements and that he would be willing to landscape the grassy area of the site. Jim Adams, property manager, briefly reviewed his background with charitable gambling and this organization. He introduced Father Stanley Sledz of St. Pater Claver Church, and John Spencer of the Original Boosters Club, both of whom . will be applying for charitable aambling licenses for operation in this fscility. ae noted both charities currently operste in the City and have made contributions to various organizations in Arden Hills, such as local PTA"s, and the Sportsman's Club. Adams stated these charities have also contributed to the City parks fund for .uch itema a. the hockey lights and picnic shelter at CUIIIIlings Park. Adams advised an occupancy limit of 450 persons should be more than adequate for the intended use of the site. He explained the operation would provide buses for patrons, which will reduce the off-street parking to some extent. He noted the interior of the buildina will be slightly remodeled; bathrooms, carpeting, light fixtures, to comply with building codes. Kayor asked if the warehou.e portion of the building would remain empty. Adams advised tables snd chairs will be set up in that area for the bingo player. and front area will contain offiCes and .torase ~acility. Mayor asked if the building would be sprinkled. Adams stated it is not sprinkled at the present time, however they would be willina to in.tall sprinkler. if it'is recollllll8nded by the Fire Department. Hicka aaked if ,the pole bem would remain. Adams stated it Would; they plan to .trip underneath it for vehicle parkins and it will provide protection from soma vehicles during inclement weatber. Hicks asked the Planner if parking as proposed still allows for site to meet lot coverage requir...nt. or if a variance would ~ necessary. Planner stated with the current proposal the lot is at the maximum limit but within the ordinance requir-.ents in terma of coverag.. Hicks noted for the applicant that site coverage is at the maximum and while there ia area that could be paved to increase parking, Council would not be receptive to a variance request. . Sather questioned if the applicant had submitted a liahtina and landscape plan. Planner explained the Plannina Commission recommendation for submission of a lighting plan; for Council to review the current liahting on site and suggest any additions or modifications if deemed necessary. The applicant presented the Council with a current lighting plan. Hiller stated no landscape plan bad been submitted and althouah he would encouraae some plantinas on site, it may be difficult to accomplish. There was discussion regarding turnaround of buses on site. Planner noted the site could accommodate a small van-type bus turning around, the larger buses would bave to make a loop of the site to exit, however the site is Isrge enough to facilitate such a maneuver. .
