Olson pointed out the site on a location map. He showed an interior site plan and stated that the applicants are proposing to have ten go-carts inside the building and that there would be no exterior changes to the building other than striping the parking lot. Olson stated that the Zoning Code doesn't have specific parking requirements for recreational uses in the Industrial zoningdistrictbut that staff believes the 100 parking . Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2003 Page 2 spaces the applicant has proposed is adequate. He stated that these are gas powered go-carts and that they would need to be re-fueled outside. The applicant has agreed to those fueling conditions and to al.1 of the conditions of approval outlined in his memo dated March 19, 2003. . Eck questioned the noise, air quality and ventilation system if the go-carts are going to be run inside the building. Olson stated that the go-carts would not be able to be heard outside of the building and that the Inspections Department has review roposal and doesn't have any issues with this proposed use. He added that what is required regarding the ventilation system. Keysser stated that h conCerns as Commissioner Eck.

Kaplan stated that anyone under 18 would be required to sign a waiver. Keysser asked if helmets would be required. Kaplan stated yes. . . . Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2003 Page 3 Pentel stated that she is concerned about oil and gas polluting the inside ofthe building and the outside when the interior is cleaned. She stated that she sees this as an intense auto use and that there are a lot of details that are unanswered.andmany uncertain aspects to this proposal. Eck asked the applicant if he knows what the decibel noise level would be and if hearing protection would be required. Kaplan stated that he didn't know what the decibel level would be, but that the noise would be contained in the buil . d that they could sell ear plugs. Rasmussen asked how he knew the noise contained in the building. Kaplan stated that he couldn't guarante "t, ve it will and that ifthe noise level is uncomfortable for customers, tome back. Groger asked if the buitdingis air conditioned. Kaplan stated requiring the doors be kept closed to keep the noise i Pentel stated that she would also like a condition r gasoline and oil.

He said that there are a lot of unknowns in that the use they are proposing would be much cleaner avy dustrial use that previously took place in this building. Pentel about that and cautioned him about making that his final appeal. at he thinks the Planning Commission is overstepping its bounds. He said that eal with the outside and that there are other codes governed by other agencies that the applicant is going to have to conform to regarding the issues inside of the building and thatthe Planning Commission shouldn't be looking at the use inside of buildings in this detail. McAleese stated that he agrees with Shaffer for the most part, but the. issues the Commissioners have been discussing are legitimate things to talk about. Shaffer explained that the applicant is not going to be able to talk about his HVAC system until . . . Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2003 Page 4 he knows it is going to be done. Rasmussen asked if there are general standards for the kind of air that can be discharged. Pentel said she is not sure the PCA has a standard for emissions for go-cart facilities that are located inside. Shaffer stated that OSHA would probably regulate the standards and that the Planning Commissioners are not experts in these fields. He said that he does agree that the use inside should be examined but how things technically are done should not be. Pentel said that she disagreed with Shaffer about the Planning Commission overstepping its boundaries by looking at inside uses in detail and that the Commission has talked in d out inside uSes in the past. Rasmussen stated that she does think this proposed use shoul recreational use. Groger asked the applicant if he anticipated allowing smokin Kaplan stated that there would probably be no smokin Pentel opened the public hearing.

She questioned whether the ropriate in this zoning district. She said she is concerned about , servicing the go-carts, where the vehicles are stored, where smoking il storage. Keysser stated that he agrees with Eck and Pentel and that by ventilating the space the internal issues would be become external issues. Groger stated that he agreed with Shaffer that the Commission is going beyond.whereit should. He referred to condition number twelve in Olson's memo which states that all other applicable local, state, and federal requirements shall be met and said that they have to rely on staff and the various laws and government agencies. He stated that he . . Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission March 24, 2003 Page 5 would like to add some additional conditions but that he thinks it is an appropriate use and he is in favor of the proposal. Shaffer agreed that there should be some additional conditions added but that itis.an appropriate use of the space and a complimentary use to the 3rdLair next door. In regard to the mechanical systems the Inspections Department and other local, state and federal agencies to decide the requirements. He said he is fine with how the track is laid out, but that the number of go-carts concerns him. McAleese stated that on the technical issue of indoor pollution he before the Planning Commission.

Keysser suggested that it might also be helpful if staff put together some information . from other similar facilities. .

Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 8:27 pm. . Hey Planning 763-593-8095 I 763-593-8109 (fax) Date: May 7, 2003 To: Golden Valley Planning Commission Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development Informal Public Hearing for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to Operate an Auto Sales Building and Outdoor Sales Lot with Minor Auto Repair at 800 Lilac Drive North-ABC Investment LLC- Applicant . Colin Stevers, representing ABC Investment LLC, is proposing to use the building and lot at 800 Lilac Dr. North for the sale of automobiles along with minor auto repair. The property is located in the northeast quadrant of TH 55 and TH 100. The GoldenValley City Code requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for this type of use within the Commercial zoning district The code states that auto repair shops, outdoor sales (including car lots) and auto show rooms require a CUP. This proposed use fits each of these requirements for a CUP. The property is designated on the General Land Use Plan Map for Commercial uses. Car sales are consistent with this land use designation. The total area of the site is 2.6 acres. The building on the site is 39,976 sq. ft. in area. Blacktop area for parking takes up most of the remainder of the site. There is a ten feet wide landscaped area along Holiday Lane and some green area on the west side of the building along the freeway wall for TH 100. The site has been impacted by the reconstruction of TH 100 and TH 55. At one time there was a frontage road around the south and west side of the building as well as the north side. The frontage roads along the south and west side were removed in order to provide more room for the roadways. A large pond has also been constructed south of the building in order to provide for drainage to the intersection of these two highways. MnDOT acquired property for the improvements of TH 100 in the 1990's. The "front yard" along TH 100 used to be about twice as wide as it is today. General Motors constructed this building as a training facility around 1954. There were two additions made to the southeast corner of the building in 1957 and 1960. No additions to the building footprint have been made since 1960. There were variances granted for the construction of the original building and for the additions. These variances were granted by the City Council, . prior to the BZA. The blacktop area has remained about the same since the building was constructed. There used to be two driveways to the parking lot off the west service road. These 1 driveways have been eliminated due to the reconfiguration of TH 100 and TH 55. Access to the parking lot is from driveway cuts at the northwest and east sides of the parking lot. . The training facility was operated until several years ago. It was primarily used to train mechanics to repair GM vehicles. Mechanics from around the Midwest would gather here to go through training on new GM vehicles. The file indicates that there was also training given on other types of products built by GM or its subsidiaries such as refrigeration equipment. The building had many repair bays where the cars were brought inside to be used in training mechanics. I recall seeing GM cars stored outside that were to be used for training. At times, the file indicates that 200 cars would be parked at the site during large training sessions. The capacity of the parking lot is about 200 cars. . The general area around the site .is mixture of uses and land use designations. The propertiesto the north and east that are south of the railroad tracks are an office PUD. This property is zoned Business and Professional Offices and designated on the General Land Use. Plan as >.. ... . ... ..... Commercial (also includes office). This is the site. of the former Holiday Hotel that \Nas builti~th~ mid~.1950's and torn down in the late 1980's. The east office building was one of the building~ that were part of the hotel that was later converted to office.. It is now a part of the PUD'lhery.i~ arestaurantto the southeastt~~t is on propertyalso zoned Commercial anddesignateq ()Jlthe General Land Use Plan as Commercial. This restaurant was built prior to the. construction of the . General Motors building in 1952. The restaurant is. currently operating on a .limited basis. Th.e restaurant lot is quite small~about 40,000 sq. ft. in. area. There is also an apartment building to the east on property that is zoned M~1 Multiple Familyand des.ignated on thePlan MapforHigh Density Residential. The existing apartments building pre-date the construction of the Gyneral Motors Training building. The apartments were built in .1950 and contain 112 units that are primarily one-bedroom. These apartments have been recently rehabilitated and are affordable. This area described above (the northeast quadrant of TH 55 and TH 100) is quite isolated from the areas west of TH 100, south of TH 55, north of the railroad tracks and east of the apartments. The old General.Motor's buildings and parking lot cannot be seen from any ofth6se areas. The area to the north is a residential neighborhood that is now connected by the frontage road that goes along the east side of TH 100. DESCRIPTION. OF PROPOSAL The following describes different aspect of the proposal: 1. Business Description--Colin Stever heads ABC Investment LLC. He currently operates Poquet Auto at 6009 Wayzata Blvd. in St. Louis Park. This would be the new location for this business. His business sells late model used cars. The web site for his business is www.poQuetauto.com.This website describes the types of autos he sells. In addition to using the site for an indoor showroom and outdoor sales lot, the building would also have areas for minor auto repair and auto cleanup. The minor repair would be done on vehicles he is selling and for his customers. The project narrative gives a general description of the proposed business. . 2. Building and site description~ The applicant has submitted plans and a narrative description of the building and site. The building footprint will not change. Changes will be made to the appearance of the building by creating a new entrance for the office and windows. The site will be improved by the addition of lighting, 2 landscaping and fencing. Allsignage must meet the requirement of the City's Sign Code for the Commercial zoning district. The applicant has agreed to meet all . necessary code requirements related to the building and fire codes. . 4. . 3. Parking-The zoning code requires that there be one space for every three employees and one spaced for each 1,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor display area. Based on these requirements, there is a need for 28 parking spaces. The owners have shown 45 spaces for employees and customers including 10 proof-of- parking spaces. These spaces would be constructed on a need only basis. (Staff has calculated about 25,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor displayarea.) There. are also several service bays shown in the building. The primary use of the service bays is to service vehicles that will be sold bypoquet prior to sale. These are not service bays for the general public. They do plan to offer limited auto service to their customers after sale for some minor repair and maintenance such as oil changes and alignment. Because of this auto service, staff isrecommending three of the service bays be considered as regular auto service. bays requiring additional spaces per serv.ice bay,This would bring the. required parking up to spaces. Based on my discussions with the applicant and my experience with types of auto sales businesses, the amount of parking appears to be more adequate. It should be noted thatm.e customer and employee parking to be only 18 ft. deep. Code requires that spaces be.20 ft. deep. This on the plan andthos~ spaces should be striped 20 ft. deep. spaces may be.16.ft... deep andonly 8 ft.. wide as shown on the will no balloons or signs on any of the automobiles that are for sale. Auto Transport Access-Delivery of vehicles forsale to the site will be primarily auto transport truck. There is good accessibility to the sit~ from the south and. TH 55. There is more than adequate space on the site to allow for delivery by large auto transport truck. 5. Hours of operation-The applicant indicates that the hours will be Monday-Friday from 9am to 8 pm. Saturday hours would be from 9 am to 5 pm. There are no Sunday hours. 6. Setback Issues-The applicant is planning no expansion to the footprint of the building. The building does not meet current setback requirements along all sides. The parking and buildings are supposed to be set back 35 ft. from the right-of-way line. This site is surrounded on all sides of street right-of-way. (The pond to the south is built on MnDOT right-of-way.) When the building was constructed, it met the City's building setback requirements or was granted a variance to be constructed as it was on the site. When the additions were built in 1957 and 1960, the City granted variances to allow the building to within 25 ft. of the southeast property line. 7. Landscaping-A landscape plan has been submitted by the applicant. It indicates an increase in plant material on the site. It also shows that there will be significant green area added in the middle of the large parking area and near the building and driveway entrances. New sod will be planted along the street. Awrought iron fence with gates will be built along the street right-of-way line for security and decorative purposes. All landscaped areas shall have a sprinkler system in order to maintain 3 · 8. . the material throughout the growing season. With the improved landscaping and building improvements, the overall site appearance will be greatly improved. Lighting-A lighting plan has been submitted. It indicates that there will be three new lights on 30 ft. high poles in the parking lot. The existing lighting on the building will be maintained. The lighting plan indicates how much light will be on the site from the lighting fixture. It appears that this lighting plan will not create a high level of lighting in this type of business area. The new lighting is downcast so that it will not "bleed" off the sight. The Inspections Department will give a final approval of the lighting plan. Because of the distance to the nearest residential area, staff does not believe that the lighting would have a negative impact on the area. All outdoor lighting should be turned down after business hours to the minimum needed for security purposes. 9. Environmental Issues-Because there are no expansions of this building, a storm water retention pond or water quality pond are not required for the redevelopment of this site. The Inspections Department will require that the Building Code be met for this type of use. FACTORS FOR CONSIDERATIONS In approving or denying any CUP application, City Code requires that findings be made by the Planning Commission on ten specified factors and those findings be sent on to the City Council. Staff evaluation of those factors as they relate to the current proposal is as follows: . 1. Demonstrated need for the use: The City's standard basis for determining need is that the applicant has identified a market of the proposed good or service. That criterion has been met in this case. 2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The General Land Use Plan Map identifies the site for Commercial uses. Auto sales and repair are consistent with the Commercial designation. The City has other auto sales within the Commercial zoning district. 3. Effect on PropertyValues in the Area: Approval of the CUP will not substantially alter the character of the area. The site was first constructed in 1954 fora building to repair and maintain cars. In its heyday, the General Motors building often had a full parking lot with new cars stored outside. With a CUP, the proposed use will be compatible with the area and improvements will be made to the site to increase landscaping and improve the appearance of the building. Therefore, it is staff opinion that the value of property in the area will not decrease if the City approves the proposal. 4. Effect of any Anticipated Traffic Generation Upon Current Traffic Flow and Congestion in the Area: Based on the number of employees and the type of business, staff does not believe that this type of business will cause additional traffic that would hinder traffic movement in the area. Golden Valley has vast experience with car dealerships. They are not large traffic generators due to the nature of the business. When they do create their most trips is at non-peak hours 4 . (evenings and weekends) when there is excess capacity on the roadways. This site has fairly good access due. to recent roadway improvements. Access to the site is now available from all directions. It is anticipated that most customers would come from the south and TH55. The access from the south provides for good access for the auto transport trucks that will deliver vehicles to the site on a need basis. 5. Effect on Any Increase in Population: Staff does not believe that the number of employees or customers will have a negative impact on. the area. Since this is a business development, there are no increases in population. 6. Increase in Noise. level: At this time, staff has no reason to expect a significant increase in noise level. Staff will recommend that all service bay doors be closed when work>is being done inside to minimize noise from the site. The auto transport trucks will cause some noise but their deUveries are not frequent. There is high background noise. level at this site due to the traffic on TH 100 and Increase in Flies, Rats, or other Vermin in the Area Caused There should be no increase in these pests due to the proposed use. . Odor, Dust, Smoke, Gas,orVibration Caused by this Use: City has not had such problems be identified with. autb service doors will be closed when work is being done. Visual Appearance of the fJroposed Structure or Use: Any signs City's Sign Code. The buildings appearance is being upgraded by the. structure and by landscaping~There will be cars parked outside without any type of advertising on the cars or banners etc. Other Concerns Regarding the Use:. Modification of the building will need to be addressed by the Inspections Department. The Building Official will make a determination what changes are necessary for the building to be used for auto service and sales. These alterations would have to be made prior to opening the business. All test drives would be required not to go north on the east frontage road north of the railroad tracks. RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit for auto sales and limited service at 800 Lilac Dr. N. The applicant is planning to make significant improvements to the site and building that would enhance the area. This type of business will not create a significant amount oftripsthat would have an adverse impact on the area. The staff is recommending the following conditions of approval: 1. The site plans submitted with the application shall become a part of this approval. These plans include a survey prepared by John Oliver and Associates dated 4/10/03; Preliminary Parking Plan prepared by John Oliver dated 4/11/03; GM Training Bldg. Remodeling Plan (Sheets SO 1-3 prepared by Barbeau Architects dated 4/11/03; and Landscape Plan dated 3/27/03. 5 2. All signage shall meet the requirements of the City's Sign Code. There will be no signs displayed or painted in car windows. There shall be no balloons on the site. . There shall be no sIgns painted or displayed from the windows of the building. 3. The Building Official shall approve the final lighting plan for the site. Lighting shall be turned down after 8 pm to provide for security lighting only. . . 4. The hours of operation shall be 9 am-8 pm Monday-Friday and 9 am-5pm on Saturday. There will be no Sunday sales or service of cars. 5. No outside speakers shall be permitted on the site. 6. The recommendation of Deputy Fire Marshal Ed Anderson found in the memo to Mark Grimes Dated April 17 , 2003 shall become a part of the recommendations. 7. All applicable local, stated and federal requirements shall be met. 8. Failure to comply with one or more of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of the conditional use permit. All landscaped areas shall have a sprinkler system in order to keep plants and sod adequately watered. 10. Only minor auto repair shall be done inside building with the outside overhead doors closed at all times.

Planning 763-593-8095/763-593-8109 (fax) Date: May 5, 2003 To: Planning Commission From: Mark W. Grimes, Directorof Planning and Development Subject: Preliminary Review of Changes to Section 11.21 of City Code (Single-Family) As previously discussed with the Planning Commission, the Planning staff has drafted a revised single-family residential zoning district. The City Attorney has reviewed this revision. The Inspection Department staff has had some input although we are waiting for final comments. Staff would like to give this draft to the Planning Commission to begin the preliminary review process prior to a public hearing. The draft indicates the areas that have been added and changed from the existing code. The most significant changes relate to building setback requiremf3nts found in Subdivision of the draft...The setback requirements have been reduced in some circumstances. This refl~cts previous discussions with the Planning Commission on this matter.. These numbersa~e notfinal, but are up for your consideration. In Subdivision 12, the setbacks of houses built priorto 1982 are addressed. These setbacks are permitted to be less.. This means that if a property owner would like to add to a pre-1982 house that meets the setback standards found in Subdivision 12, no variances would be needed for an addition that meets current setback requirements. Staff suggests that the Planning Commission study this draft and discuss itingreater detail at a future meeting. . . . SECTION 11.21. SINGLE FAMilY RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT (R-1). Subdivision 1.
