Minneapolis Meeting Rooms Conditional Use Permit Tom Chellberg, 20661 Joplin Place, requested Council approval of a conditional use permit to allow a religious institution at 9880 - 192 Street. Mr. Chellberg stated Minneapolis Meeting Rooms, Inc. plans to establish a 40 -seat church in what is currently a single family home on a three acre parcel. He stated that the house will only be used for worship services, and the use will generate approximately 10 -12 vehicles twice per week. No one will be living in the house, and there will be no exterior amplification. Because the building is in disrepair, extensive improvements are proposed to be made to the interior and exterior of the house. Mr. Chellberg stated they would like some flexibility with the landscape screening of the parking lot to provide a more aesthetically pleasing design. City Council Meeting Minutes, August 5, 2013 Page 3 Associate Planner Frank Dempsey stated Minneapolis Meeting Rooms had initially submitted an application for a variance to the 30 foot west side yard setback requirement; however, the variance request has been withdrawn, and the applicant has agreed to modify the garage to comply with the 30 foot minimum setback. He stated that an exception from exterior building material requirements for institutional uses is also being requested with the conditional use permit so that the church can maintain the existing residential character of the building. A parking lot is required by the Zoning Ordinance for a religious institution, and the parking requirement is based on the number of seats in the assembly room. Fourteen parking spaces are proposed in the parking lot, and one handicap accessible parking space will be provided in the existing driveway. The site plan shows that four additional parking spaces could be constructed in the future to accommodate additional parking needs. Vehicle parking for those occupying the church property is not allowed on the public street. The subject property is three acres in area, zoned for single family residential use, and could potentially be subdivided to create three or four single family lots. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the conditional use permit subject to 18 conditions, and staff is recommending an additional condition related to removal of the garage. In response to a question by Council Member Davis, Mr. Dempsey stated that any future expansion to the building or parking lot (except for the four additional parking spaces identified on the site plan) would require an amendment to the conditional use permit and another public hearing. Council members suggested that the applicant consider low level lighting for the parking lot and possibly motion sensor lights on the house for safety and security purposes. Mr. Dempsey stated lighting is allowed but not required by the zoning ordinance. Mr. Mielke suggested adding a stipulation to the conditional use permit to address parking lot security lighting. Council members also suggested a revision to the stipulation related to landscaping to allow modification of the landscape plan to improve safety. Council Member LaBeau suggested the applicant install signage in the parking lot to identify that parking is for the site purposes only. She also suggested an additional stipulation related to outdoor storage of trash containers. Mayor Little invited questions or comments from the audience. Monica Carlson, 9852 Iteri Lane, requested the installation of motion sensor lights on the house in addition to low level parking lot lighting and more trees on the south side of the property. City Council Meeting Minutes, August 5, 2013 Page 4 Motion was made by Swecker, seconded by Anderson to approve findings of fact and a conditional use permit for Minneapolis Meeting Rooms, Inc. to allow a church in the RS -2 District, with the following revisions to the conditional use permit: Amend Condition c) to include: "Landscaping shall be installed according to the approved site plan to screen the parking lot consistent with Zoning Ordinance requirements. The landscape plan may be modified, subject to the approval of the Zoning Administrator, to improve safety." Amend Condition s) to include: "or modification" after "Following the removal ". Add Condition t) to read: "Lighting for the parking lot and church building shall be installed for security purposes in compliance with Zoning Ordinance requirements and shall minimize impacts to surrounding residential uses." Add Condition u) to read: "Any outdoor storage of trash containers shall be screened in compliance with Zoning Ordinance requirements." Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Swecker, Anderson, LaBeau, Davis, Little 8. 190 Street Development Jim Stanton, Shamrock Development, requested Council approval of the preliminary plat of 68 single family lots and four outlots on land located north and south of 190 Street, east of Dodd Boulevard and west of Holyoke Avenue. Associate Planner Allyn Kuennen presented the preliminary plat, which is temporarily being named 190 Street Development. The development will include the upgrade of 190 Street, details to be worked out between the developer and the City. In addition, the developer is required to work with the City and Dakota County for the construction of turn lanes on Dodd Boulevard at 190 Street. The developer has included a ghost plat for Outlots B and D outlining the future platting of approximately 132 single family lots. The developer is also working on a ghost plat for the Lawrence Schweich property to the east. Mr. Schweich has requested the upgrade of 190 Street as well as an internal local street connection to his property. 190th Street will be upgraded and constructed consistent with the City's subdivision ordinance from Dodd Boulevard to the east boundary of Block 6. The Developer will install bituminous pavement within the limits of the existing aggregate roadbed on 190th Street between the east boundary of Block 6 and Holyoke Avenue. Future improvements to 190 Street from Holyoke Avenue to Dodd Boulevard will be worked out between the City, Dakota County and the developer prior to final plat approval. City Council Meeting Minutes, August 5, 2013 Page 5 Mr. Mielke stated a temporary asphalt roadway is proposed to be installed between the east boundary of Block 6 and Holyoke Avenue until intersection improvements at 190`'' Street and Holyoke Avenue are completed in the future. Mr. Kuennen stated the City Attorney has indicated that Section 7 -6 -1 of the City Code does not give the City the express authority to require existing overhead utilities adjacent to new developments to be placed underground. Therefore, staff has removed this condition from the preliminary plat. Staff is recommending the City Council consider revising Chapter 7 -6 -1 of the City Code to clarify that existing overhead utility lines adjacent to new plats be buried or an escrow be submitted for the future burial of overhead utilities. Council Member Davis requested feedback from the other Council members on a possible ordinance amendment related to underground utilities. The City Attorney stated he has drafted an amendment to the City Code for the Council's consideration at a future meeting. Motion was made by Davis, seconded by Swecker to approve the preliminary plat of the 190th Street Development. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Anderson, LaBeau, Davis, Little, Swecker 9.
