Commissioners McAleese and McCracken-Hunt arrived at the meeting. w Planning Commission Minutes November 25, 1985 • Page 2 Chairman Prazak called on the proponent to answer questions. Mr. John Yngve, President of Nortronics, spoke on behalf of the proponent. Mr. Yngve intro- duced Mr. Alan Kronfeld, Vice President of Nortronics, who was also present and available to answer questions. Mr. Yngve explained that Nortronics contem- plates no change in use of the building offered for sale but that future usage remains indefinite until a buyer is found for the property. Mr. Yngve requested further consideration of recommended conditions of approval requiring curb separation of the north parking lot from landscaping._and limiting the office space ratio in the 8121 Tenth Avenue building to that accommodated by parking currently existing on the site. Mr. Yngve expressed concern that installation of curb would require extensive regrading of the north parking lot and pointed out that space exists to the west of the 8121 Tenth Avenue building for construc- tion of additional parking if required. The Planning Commission agreed to modify the conditions to specify installation of curb as recommended by the City Engineer and to take into account proof of available space for additional parking to be shown on a site plan. Chairman Prazak opened the informal public hearing for public input. There was no one present who wished to speak on this agenda item, and Chairman Prazak closed the informal public hearing. It was moved by Commissioner Russell , seconded by Commissioner Kapsner and � carried unanimously to recommend City Council approval of the Preliminary Design Plan for PUD #50, Nortronics, which proposes zero lot line division of the Nortronics building located at 8101 Tenth Avenue North, subject to the following conditions: l. The separate parking lot parcel located to the north of Tenth Avenue North shall be included in the PUD and in the plat in the General Plan of Development application. 2. Ten foot utility easements adjacent to all street right-of-way lines shall be dedicated on the plat. 3. Office use of the building designated as 8121 Tenth Avenue North shall not be expanded beyond allowable square footage based on present and potential availability of parking as shown on a site plan. 4. Parking area and landscaped area on the separate parking lot parcel north of Tenth Avenue North shall be separated by curb as recommended by the City Engineer, and gutter shall be installed as required for drainage. 5. A joint maintenance agreement and water and sanitary sewer connection easements and agreements as required shall be submitted with the General Plan of Development application. � Planning Commission Minutes November 25, 1985 � Page 3 . 6.

The Planning Commission asked that the ordinance as passed by the City Council be placed on the next Planning Commission agenda for review. Chairman Prazak provided the Planning Commission with a report on the November 19, 1985 City Council meeting. V. REPORT ON HRA MEETING - NOVEMBER 12, 1985 Commissioner McAleese provided the Planning Commission with a report on the November 12, 1985 meeting of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA). • VI.

REVIEW OF PROPOSAL FOR SIGNAL INSTALLATION ON HIGHWAY 55 EAST OF HIGHWAY 100 Chairman Prazak introduced this agenda item and asked for clarification of who requested Planning Commission input. City Planner Alda Peikert explained that . the signal installation is proposed by the Minnesota Department of Transporta- tion (MnDOT) and that the City Engineer suggested that Planning staff obtain comment from the Planning Commission. Planning Commissioners offered several suggestions, including use of flashing lights at times other than rush hour and that the service road north of Highway 55 be connected to the east of this intersection over the railroad line. The Planning Commission requested that the proposal be placed on the next Planning Commission agenda for further discussion with the City Engineer. Ms. Peikert informed Commissioners that staff hopes to have the City Engineer present at the next Planning Commission meeting to review the Highway 12/I-394 Project for the Land Use Committee. Planning Commissioners agreed that the full Planning Commission should be present for the presentation on this major land use planning issue and that it would be appropriate to ask the City � Engineer to provide more information on the proposed Highway 55 signal installation at that time. . . 1 Rlanning Commission Minutes November 25, 1985 � Page 4 VIII. RESCHEDULING OR CANCELLATION OF DECEMBER 23, 1985 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Chairman Prazak introduced this agenda item., It was moved by Commissioner Kapsner, seconded by Commissioner McA1eese and carried unanimously to cancel the December 23, 1985 Planning Commission me,eting. The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Gary Prazak, Chairman Linda McCracken-Hunt, Secretary � i December 4, 1985 � T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission FROM: Alda Peikert, City Planner SUBJECT: Informal Public Hearing - Amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 82-9 to Allow Expansion of� Golden Valley Tire - 600 Decatur Avenue North Mr. David L. Almich and Mr. James A. Pauly of Time Master, Inc. request an amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 82-9 to allow expansion of the Golden Valley Tire Center located at 600 Decatur Avenue North. The original Conditional Use Permit for a tire service and automobile repair service in a Commercial Zoning District was approved by the City Council on December 21, 1982. Conditional Use Permit 82-9 limits the tire service operation to four service bays. The existing building utilized for the tire service included two service bays. The proponents constructed a building addition in the summer of 1983 which added two bays for a total of four bays as allowed by the Conditional Use Permit. At the time of the addition, the Building Board of Review approved building plans and an accompanying landscape plan. The landscape bond was recently released, indicating that landscaping materials are in good condition • two growing seasons after original installation. The reason for the limit on the number of service bays in the original Conditional Use Permit was availability of parking to meet requirements of the ° Zoning Ordinance for automobile service operations. The Ordinance requires one parking space for every three employees, one parking space for any service vehicle, and four outside parking spaces for each service bay. In addition, parking is required for the showroom area in the case of the tire service. The proposal for expansion is slightly under Ordinance requirements in provision of parking. Requirements are 2 spaces for the showroom area, 2 spaces for five employees, 1 space for the company truck, and 24 spaces for the proposed six service bays. This adds up to a total of 29 spaces required by Ordinance, compared to 26 outside parking spaces provided as shown on the site plan. Planning staff concurs with the conclusion presented by the proponent in the attached application cover letter that the subject tire service operation does not require as much customer parking space as required by Ordinance for a service station. The Ordinance requirement of four outside parking spaces for each service bay contemplates stacking of cars left for servicing during the day. The proponents explain that a large proportion of tire servicing business is completed while customers wait and that stacking spaces for automobiles held over for servicing are not required. The application cover letter presents parking space needs based on actual use rather than on Ordinance requirements and documents availability of parking space to ac�ommodate estimated peak time � parking space requirements. In their estimate, the proponents include the six service bays as parking spaces on site and refer to a total of 32 available Golden Valley Planning Commission December 4, 1985 . Page 2 automobile storage spaces rather than to 26 outside parking spaces. Their estimate based on actual use projections also allows five spaces to accommodate automobiles for all five employees rather than one per three employees as re- quired by the Ordinance. Three of the spaces avaiiable on site are less readily �accessible spaces to the north of the building appropriately designated for employee parking. Based on the estimate of actual parking need prepared by the proponents and based on differentiation of the tire service operation from the service station operation contemplated by Ordinance, staff concludes that parking provided is adequate to accommodate proposed expansion of the condi- tional use. The plans for expansion of Golden Valley Tire Center involve construction of a building addition to the northeast of the existing building. The addition houses four new service bays and blocks off two of the existing four service bays. The two service bays closed off are those with the original building prior to Golden Valley Tire Center occupancy and have a lower ceiling height. The proponents plan to convert the space in those two original service bays to storage area. The proposed new site plan does not appear to require alteration of landscaped areas. An appearance before the Building Board of Review with building plans and exterior materials specifications is required prior to issuance of a building permit. Staff suggests that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the amendment requested to Conditional Use Permit No. 82-9 to allow expansion of the Golden � Valley Tire Center located at 600 Decatur Avenue North subject to the following conditions: l. The site shall conform to the Site Plan for an Addition for Golden Valley Tire Center prepared by Pauly and Olson Associates, Ltd. , dated November 19, 1985. 2. There shall be no parking for the subject operation on the street, and there shall be no vehicle storage on site other than in the service bays or in the 26 outside parking spaces designated on the approved Site Plan prepared by Pauly and Olson Associates, Ltd. , dated November 19, 1985. 3. Plans for the building addition shall be reviewed by the Building Board of Review prior to issuance of a building permit. 4. Signage shall conform with the City Sign Regulations and approval of the City Building Inspector. 5. There shall be no outside storage of products or materials. 6. Trash and used/unusable tires shall be stored within the building or within an enclosure which meets the specifications of the City Building Inspector. � Golden Valley Planning Commission December 4, 1985 � Page 3 7. The operation shall conform with all requirements and recommendations of the City Building Inspector and City Fire Marshal . 8. Failure to comply with one or more of the above conditions of approval shall be grounds for revocation of the Conditional Use Permit. Attachments: 1. Site Location Map 2. Site Plan 3. Floor Plan 4.

We have faund that our present facility can't handle the volume of business that this area demands We would like to add 4 bays to our buildinq, giving us a total of 6 working bays. or a capacity to increase our business by 30% over the existing operation we r.�w have in our limited 4 bay cperation. [tile understard that the re�ulations Qoverning parking spaces can't �e met under the exparsior. program. but we do feel the need tc service the community with a larger operatien is evident, and that the actual parking spaces required for the expanded service will not stress cr go beyond the available spaces. 1 he follewin� information is a summary or average of vehicles serviced on a daily basis over the most recent 12 months. The averaQe number of cars serviced ever the period on a per day basis (we used the heaviest K days of the week) was 21 cars per day. The high count was 31, and the low was 14. Of the 21 cars per day, 7 cars were on a �eave for half or full day, 3 at one time on a wait basis. That makes 10 s;�aces for customers at one time, 5 fer employees, 1 for the company tAuck, makin� a total of 16 spaces needed at a time on the average. This leaves 11� spaces in excess to handle high peaks (includes bay parking spaces). With the ac�dition completed and 6 bay production, we can expect a 30% increase in our business This would increas� the number of vehicles to 2'7 cars per day. Of � those 27 cars. only 9 to 10 cars will be on a leave basis. That makes 10 cars on leave. 5 for employees, 1 for company truck, and 4 on a wait basis. This makes a tetal of 20 cars beinQ serviced at any one time on the avera�e. With alloted park- ir� spaces ar.d workin� bays, this gives us an excess of 12 bays to handle the peak occ�sicns The- roilowing is a summary cf the before and after expansion parkin.g conditions: A�re Autos Autos On Autos On Co.

M , � December 4, 1985 T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission FROM: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development SUBJECT: Information Session with City Engineer/Public Works Director The staff has invited Lowell Odland, Director of Public Works, to come to the next Planning Commission meeting to provide the Planning Commission with information that will assist in the Comprehensive Plan update. In particular, he will be able to give us information that will help us plan along the I394 corridor. Lowell has been working closely with the people from the Minnesota Department of Transportation so he is our best resource person on the effect of the new freeway in Golden Valley. Lowell has been with the City over twenty years so he is aware of the changes that have occurred in the I-394 corridor. The questions that come to my mind that Lowell will be able to help with are as follows: 1. What is the effect of the predicted interchange crowding at Xenia and I-394? What can the City do to help alleviate this predicted problem? � 2. How much can the City depend on the local street system to carry traffic? Is this a realistic alternative? � ' 3. What is the history of the Laurel Avenue division between residential and commercial/industrial? 4. How will the freeway work through Golden Valley? Have there been any changes to the plan in recent months? I will have maps of the area that will assist us in asking our questions. I am sure it will be an informative session. �
