Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, September 2, 2015 Page 26 Ms. McCormick noted the many unknowns in their neighborhood based on the upcoming 1275 construction of Twin Lakes Parkway and potential negative impacts to the area, with 1276 those concerns primarily concerning intensity, noise and traffic, which had also been 1277 shared with the City Council. While the traffic study recently conducted was expanded to 1278 include County Road C -2 and Snelling Avenue intersections, Ms. McCormick noted the 1279 current negative service levels of those intersections, and opined that the built-in 1280 assumption was included that Snelling Avenue would be expanded to six lanes, which 1281 was not even on anyone’s realistic wish list. Ms. McCormick provided photographic 1282 evidence of traffic issues at neighborhood intersections that were taken in May of 2015, 1283 and noted she was concerned with even more traffic with the extension of Twin Lakes 1284 Parkway. Ms. McCormick also provide a photo taken from a residential deck adjacent to 1285 an adjacent business, with 50’ between them, and noted the neighborhood’s rationale in 1286 being concerned that hours of operation be clearly addressed. 1287 In her personal review of old planning files, Ms. McCormick referenced the multi-tenant 1288 building where “Bridging” was currently located and changes in those uses in the 1990’s 1289 and conditions that no truck traffic was permitted north of the building, and no deliveries 1290 permitted after 8:00 p.m., and doors closed and dumpster removal hours also addressed 1291 (refer Planning File 2574). Ms. McCormick questioned if a new zoning district would take 1292 those conditions into account, and if not asked that they would be. 1293 Ms. McCormick addressed height as another issue, and while appreciation restrictions of 1294 35’ in CMU-1 zoning districts, opined that extending a 65’ height restriction over the 1295 remainder of the CMU district would be preferable. Ms. McCormick noted past 1296 discussions and viewpoints expressed between her and Community Development 1297 Director Paul Bilotta; addressing potential height or stories based on wireless antenna 1298 atop buildings which she found not to be conducive other than in the proposed CMU-4 1299 zoning district. Ms. McCormick stated that she would prefer a mid-level height along 1300 Fairview Avenue, nothing more than 2 stories along County Road C unless at Cleveland 1301 Avenue with Snelling Avenue currently being the only exception proposed. 1302 Regarding frontage types, Ms. McCormick spoke in support of flexible frontage as 1303 proposed along the northern boundary, with no specific discussions about that previously, 1304 causing her to question the actual intent of the City Council, staff and Commission. 1305 Regarding business hours, Ms. McCormick opined that if a business was immediately 1306 adjacent to a residential area in CMU-1 zoning districts it should be restricted in hours of 1307 operation, and not as currently proposed for closure between 2:00 and 6:00 a.m., which 1308 could prove problematic for general livability for those residents due to noise, traffic and 1309 other issues. 1310 As far as more uses designed CU, Ms. McCormick noted that the City of St. Paul 1311 required CU for most of their permitted uses providing them that extra check or control for 1312 case by case evaluation and also allowing public input at that time. 1313 In response, Chair Boguszewski concluded that Ms. McCormick was generally supportive 1314 of the concept of four CMU zoning designations. 1315 Ms. McCormick confirmed that, while that wasn’t her first preference, it was acceptable. 1316 Chair Boguszewski concluded that Ms. McCormick was expressing concern with the 1317 process itself, seeking to be more fully involved in determining the P, NP or CU uses in 1318 each line of the Table of Uses, suggesting CU across the board may be more preferred. 1319 In general, Chair Boguszewski suggested that Ms. McCormick was concerned, as he had 1320 articulated as a personal concern of his own, that based on survey results and desires 1321 previously articulated by residents, that shifting some of those uses in CMU-1 and CMU-2 1322 subareas should be more restrictive. 1323 Ms. McCormick agreed in principle with Chair Boguszewski’s summary. 1324 Bonnie Vogel, 2830 Fairview Avenue (Vogel Mechanical) 1325 For the benefit of the Commissions’ review of this issue, Ms. Vogel noted that time was of 1326
