Public Hearing to consider Major Amendment to a Continued Special Permit for two story bank/dental building with bank drive-through in the C-2 Commercial District Mr. Harmening, Community Development Coordinator briefly explained the proposed process to present background information on the project. Ms. Peterson, Planning Associate provided an overview of the project and summarized the staff report and recommended approval subject to the conditions outlined in the staff report. Charleen Zimmer, SRF Consulting provided information regarding the traffic analysis work that had been done on the project. Lyn Wik, 3965 Quentin Avenue South, was concerned about the quality of life and the livability issue of a bank of this size with the drive-through that will generate increased traffic close to a residential neighborhood. She questioned a proposal for the future realignment of Quentin Avenue and believed bank customers will circulate through the immediate neighborhood to avoid exit on Excelsior Boulevard. She didn't believe that the traffic study accurately reflected the impact on the neighborhood and questioned the projections that are only outlined until the year 2000. Mr Harmening stated that the realignment of Quentin Avenue has been discussed as part of the I/ community design workshop relative to the City's Park Commons project, but has not yet been recommended to the City Council or determined to proceed and would be subject to its own set of traffic analysis which has not been completed. He indicated that the bank project can proceed with or without the realignment of Quentin Avenue, and if it was determined that this realignment was feasible, the neighborhood would be included in the City Council deliberation. Councilmember Nelson asked what would happen from a traffic perspective if Quentin Avenue was realigned. Charleen Zimmer stated in the percentage of trips that were assigned to make the move using Quentin and 40th Street were liberal to the assignment to those streets because there would be some additional limits if Quentin is realignment. She explained four traffic flow alternatives for the drive-through traffic and explained the use of a worst case scenario to allow for the margin of error that comes from growth of customers that can't be predicted. Mr. Harmening stated that as the realignment of Quentin was considered, the Norwest bank proposal would be examined to assess any additional impacts on Quentin and 40th Street associated with that. Brett Boushele, 4956 40th Street West, was concerned about the accuracy of the traffic study and believed that many factors seem to preclude common sense that there is actually going to be more traffic in the area that is being represented. He raised a concern for the residential properties that are located directly across from the only entrance to the project on Vallacher and Quentin and the potential for traffic to use alternative routes through the immediate neighborhood. James Robertson, 5100 West 40th Street, was concerned about the traffic study. He believed that the study contained statistical flaws related to the regression toward the mean and a logical flaw that the assumption that a certain percentage of cars are going to be able to go west bound on Excelsior Boulevard by coming out and catching the left turn lane and making a U-turn on Excelsior Boulevard. He raised the issue of 40th Street becoming a one-way, parking on both sides of 40th Street is a traffic problem, increased traffic related to safety Elementary schools and current traffic restrictions. He also raised a concern about potential piece meal planning of Excelsior Boulevard. He believed rushing to accommodate bank was opposite to complete an thoroughly integrated plan for the Town Center development. He was opposed to the proposal at this time. Lon LeClair, 5013 West 40th Street, was concerned about the impact of increased traffic on the neighborhood. He didn't believe bank traffic was going to decrease as suggested in traffic report, but rather increase traffic. He stated he was not against the development, but the increased traffic that comes from a development. Mr. LeClair asked why Quentin would be moved? Mr. Harmening stated that the realignment of Quentin came up as part of the Town Center Park Commons community design workshop in fall of 1996 and was related to some additional infrastructure improvement proposed to make north of Excelsior Boulevard. Mr. LeClair asked the realignment would bring more traffic? Mr. Harmening stated that it could and that was one of the reasons that no decision has been made since that it is an extremely important issue to the neighborhood and is something that would have to be discussed with property owners South and North of Excelsior Boulevard to determine the merits of realignment, but there has been no decision to realign or not realign Quentin. Mr. LeClair asked if there would be additional pedestrian traffic trying to access across Excelsior Boulevard to the north. Mr. Harmening indicated that this would be desired and improvements will continue to be made to Excelsior Boulevard which consists of reconfiguration of some of the intersections and addition of more signalization to make it easier for pedestrians to cross. Mr. LeClair asked why the entrance and exit could not be located on Excelsior Boulevard. Ms. Peterson stated that the actual dimensions of the site could not accommodate an entrance and exit from Excelsior Boulevard and alternative proposals were considered after receiving the results of traffic study to elevate traffic impact on neighborhood. Charleen Zimmer, SRF explained the alternative proposals that were considered. She explained how the study quantified the worst case scenario, the standard way traffic studies were done on sites by using a comparison to existing traffic during 48 hour traffic counts as well as peak hour intersection turning movement counts and that 777 was the number of trips in and out on a daily basis that this site would generate if the existing building were used as a medical office building. Mr. LeClair believed a 25% increase was high on West 40th Street and that traffic was not going to get better. He noted that the Planning Commission rejected this. Mr. Harmening stated that although the Planning Commission didn't have all the traffic study information, traffic concerns were the primary issue associated with their action on this matter. Matt Farley, 5104 West 40th Street, believed a 25%traffic increase was significant and believed there was a lot more work to be done to evaluate the development of this property and impact of increased traffic and stated that a Councilmember told Charleen Zimmer not to use figure in her presentation. Mary Ann Brower, 4824 Vallacher Avenue, was concerned about impact of increased traffic on the neighborhood. She was concerned that the entrance/exit behind MRI building off a Vallacher was a blind intersection and unsafe for pedestrians, overflow of stacking for drive- through could block entrance, residents using alternative routes to avoid stoplight farm. Dr. Burton Diamond, 2725 Kipling, stated he was intrigued that there was no talk about the benefits of the development. He believed this bank location would benefit St. Louis Park residents, and what is best for traffic should not be the only factor considered, but perhaps the impact of losing a big bank. Mayor Dorfman indicated that issues that related to impact on neighborhood were difficult. Tom Crouse, 4008 Quentin Avenue, was concerned about the traffic pattern and believed the realignment of Quentin needs to be decided before the approval of a development. He questioned what would happen to condition of CUP of buffer between the drive-through and a residential area if Quentin was realigned and the need for further projections. Rachal Stanley, 4904 Vallacher Avenue, questioned the cueing, stacking and holding of cars using drive-through. Ms. Peterson explained that the site was required to accommodate and has been shown to accommodate at least 36 cars waiting to be serviced at any given time with 6 drive-through lanes with 120 feet required and indicated that there was no assumption that cars would stack in entrance. Councilmember Latz asked how many vehicles currently stack at the existing Norwest Bank site at peak hours and what was projected at new location. Charleen Zimmer stated she would need to make some quick analysis to determine this amount. Richard Wick, Frauenshuh Company, stated that the number of increased lanes does not 111 increase the number of drive-through traffic, but provides a greater curing area. Bob Seager,Norwest Chief Architect, explained that the required set back requirement of 120 feet allows for adequate stacking and does not want to see stacking back into Quentin Avenue. Amy Bezick, 5120 W. 40th Street, questioned the accuracy of the traffic projections at peak hours and area restaurants. Barb Bousehele, 4956 W. 40th Street, was concerned about the impact of increased traffic on the quality of the neighborhood. Marian Bremer, , worked at Citizen's Bank asked if the future closings of some Norwest Bank sites were this taken into account in evaluating traffic increases. Charleen Zimmer stated that projections should reflect that change. Councilmember Nelson asked if Ms Bremer believed that the projections were a realistic expectation. Ms. Bremer indicated the projections were reasonable Sean Stanley, 4904 Vallacher Avenue, believed the bank development would be beneficial but was concerned about the safety of accessing the bank. Mayor Dorfman closed the Public Hearing with the right of the Council to reopen it at a future date. Councilmember Sanger asked if the Council only had discretion over whether there is not drive- through banking or whether or not to grant this at all with request for a dental and any bank. Andrea Poehler, City Attorney stated that the Council was limited to their discretion with respect to the dental office and any bank as it is an amendment to the special use permit currently existing in the site. Councilmember Sanger asked if Council could turn it all down in theory. Andrea Poehler, City Attorney, stated that if the Council finds that it does not meet the requirements specified in granting a special use permit in this district the Council could turn it all down. Councilmember Sanger asked if there would be a difference in amount of traffic that would occur with out any drive-through verses with drive-through lanes. Bob Seager, Architect, stated that a bank without drive-through would not be viable. Richard Wick, Frauenshuh, stated that sometimes traffic studies are unfavorable to a dveloper's proposal and projects are killed. This one is favorable, yet is not being believed and they want to be a community partner, meet and exceed the City's Comprehensive Plan for urban renewal efforts and believes it will better serve the citizens of St. Louis Park at this location. Councilmember Jacobs asked about the timing of the project and the Public Hearing. Mr. Harmening stated that the City was bound by state law to act upon development proposal at this meeting, unless the developer allowed for an extension. Ms. Peterson clarified that the special permit amendment required a public hearing. Charleen Zimmer clarified that the 777 trips were the number of trips that were generated if the existing building were used as an office and the proposed combination with use of trips generated by the existing bank would generate 890. The combination of proposed development with ITE rates were 1628 trips as a worst case scenario. Councilmember Sanger asked what the criteria were for the granting or the withholding of the amendments to the special permit in general not just for the drive-through and asked how much discretion in general does the Council have in general to approve the special permit. Andrea Poehler, City Attorney stated that the Council's discretion is much more limited than if you were making a legislative decision such as a rezoning ordinance. The Council is limited to a specific application for a special use that is permitted with conditions. The Council is limited to looking at it under the conditions set forth in the ordinance. The Council's discretion is quasi- judicial discretion, much more subject by a district court based on whether or not your applying the condition set forth in your ordinance. Councilmember Sanger asked if the Council felt that the conditions that the City Attorney has outlined for granting or denying the drive-through lanes were met, does the Council have to approve the request. Andrea Poehler, City Attorney, stated that was correct. Councilmember Brimeyer stated that while the traffic increases may be detrimental to some neighbors they are pretty small and meet conditions required. Councilmember Latz asked what the average stacking number of cars would be anticipated during peak hours. Ms. Zimmer did a quick analysis and indicated that if you assumed all of the 150 peak hour trips came in a 15 minute period, and assume each transaction takes 5 minutes that would equate to 8 vehicles per lane or if you assumed all of the 150 peak hour trips came in 15 minutes period and assume each transaction takes 2 minutes that would equal 3 vehicle per lane and that the valid conclusion would be that there would be adequate stacking space. Councilmember Latz asked if the bank had information on their anticipated business increase at the new site. Mr. Seager, Architect stated that the dimension of site looks at maximizing space. Councilmember Latz reviewed results of Task Force Recommendation. He stated that the Planning Commission was not presented with existing traffic counts at the existing Norwest facility, information on typical or normal ranges of traffic for these types of streets, or information on feasibility of various site alternatives. Councilmember Latz recommended the construction of more sidewalks in the neighborhood to be more pedestrian friendly. Council examined the conditions under their discretion to look at and to determine if they were met by this proposal. Councilmember Nelson recommended that the Public Works Department and the County Engineers look at the timing of the light on Excelsior Boulevard and Quentin related to turning movements to the left going north and south, consider additional sidewalks, and examine realignment of Quentin. He did suggest that the traffic counts be presented in a different way because when you present worst case numbers, people cling on to the worst case scenario. He doesn't want to minimize traffic concerns, but a 20%increase of traffic is not a reasonable representation of what is actually going on at the site and to suggest that the numbers are going to double is not realistic. He indicated that any traffic is a bad thing and to suggest that no increase in traffic is the goal is not realistic and stated he can't support that particularly when there are 5500 people who use this bank and we just can't shut it down and move out of town. He was concerned that the Council had limited authority to deny a special use permit and the level of service is not being decreased at these intersections, the Council does not have the grounds to deny the special use permit. Mayor Dorfman stated that there was no question that this development will increase traffic and there is no question that runs contrary to Council's desire to become more pedestrian friendly and suggested looking at what changes can be made to work with the neighborhood to make sure that some of the safety issues that have been raised are addressed. She indicated that conditions of Item D on traffic were met and SRF traffic study was thorough and factored everything, therefore Council had no legal choice but to grant the request. Councilmember Sanger felt that she had no legal choice but to vote in favor of this request. She stated that if the worst case scenario came to fruition, what alternatives for the neighborhood would be available to request a review of the measures taken to try to control the traffic impact in their neighborhood. Mr. Meyer, City Manager stated that if it was the direction of the Council, the Public Works department could do some traffic counts and monitoring. Councilmember Sanger and Councilmember Latz believed this would be desirable. Mayor Dorfman recommended adding a condition 6 for construction of a sidewalk on the West 111 side of Quentin. Resident Lyn Wik(Didn't come to mike, no blue card) - Questioned that the vision for Park Commons was to decrease the number of drive-throughs. Mr. Harmening suggested that the standards in the C-2 zoning districts are fairly up-to-date. It was moved by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by Councilmember Brimeyer, to adopt a resolution approving the amended Special Permit subject to conditions recommended by staff. The motion passed 6-0. 6b. Public Hearing to consider Liquor License Transfer for Bennigan's located at 6475 Wayzata Blvd., St. Louis Park,MN 55416 Mayor Dorfman closed the Public Hearing with the right of the Council to reopen it at a future date. The application in the form that has been received will not proceed. 7.Petitions, Requests, Communications 7a. Variance appeal at 2135 Glenhurst Avenue South Brian Hoffman, Director of Inspections presented a staff report and Scott Moore, Zoning Administrator clarified the set back requirements of a"R-1" Single Family District. Staff recommended to deny the variance request. Susan Gross, 2151 Glenhurst Road, looked at her house on the aerial photo. Michael Sward, applicant, stated that he was comfortable with the fact that he can legally split the lot without the request for a variance, but wanted to do what is the best for the neighborhood. He stated that staff had introduced this alternative and believed the proposed lot split which requires a variance does allows for a cleaner and neater split of the lot in question and two new lots would have more defined boundaries and better legal descriptions. He didn't believe that BOZA was not given all the information at their meeting when they denied this request and he has received support from neighbors on this project. Steve Pratt, 4001 Highwood Road, was opposed to the variance request. He felt that Mr. Sward as a real-estate agent has failed to meet his a fiduciary responsibility to best represent his client and to know all the uses of the property. Michael DiWilliams, 2126 Glenhurst Road, believed that the variance request should be denied because the criteria for granting a variance has not been met and does not have the neighborhood input for support because it will not increase his investment in the neighborhood. Damon Bay, 2145 Glenhurst Road, was opposed to the variance request. Gayle Crose, 4000 Highwood Road, provided photos of the property. She was opposed to the variance request and concerned about the significant negative impact on the neighborhood and compatibility. Ed Sternberg, 2105 Glenhurst Road, was opposed to the variance request and the idea of subleasing and renting in his neighborhood. He believed it was fine to develop property, but do it by the guidelines that others in the neighborhood have purchased and maintained their property. Susan Gross, 2151 Glenhurst Road, was opposed to the variance request. She stated that there was a real spirit in the neighborhood to preserve the special quality of the neighborhood. Robert Coursan, 2139 Glenhurst Road, was opposed to the variance request. He believed a new house would be an intrusion to his property and negatively affect the Lake Forest neighborhood. Councilmember Sanger was opposed to granting the appeal of the variance and stated that the Council can't just overturn a decision made by BOZA based on an individuals feeling about the applicant about the variance, but based strictly on the criteria as to the conditions for establishing the variance have or have not been satisfied. She believed the variance should be denied because reasonable use can be made of this property without the variance. She stated that if the variance was granted the Council would violate the City's standards and open it up for additional variance requests for personal or aesthetic preference Michael Sward, the applicant recommended that there be more communication between staff and Council. Councilmember Brimeyer believed it was inappropriate to put a house like this on the site and was opposed to granting the appeal of the variance. Councilmember Nelson was opposed to granting the appeal of the variance. Councilmember Jacobs believed the criteria has not been met and was opposed to granting the appeal of the variance It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Brimeyer, to uphold the Board of Zoning Appeals decision to deny the variance request. The motion passed 6-0. 8.Resolutions and Ordinances 8a. Second Reading of Ordinance to Change Zoning from "C-2" Commercial to "R-C" Multiple Family Residential Southwest quadrant of Louisiana Ave. and Walker St. Case No. 99-2-Z It was moved by Councilmember Latz, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs,to approve Second Reading of an ordinance to rezone the southwest quadrant of Louisiana Avenue and Walker Street from"C-2" Commercial to"R-C"Multiple Family Residential, adopt ordinance, approve summary, and authorize publication. The motion passed 5-0. 8b.Resolution establishing an escrow account for fire structures severely damaged by fire and/or explosion Mr. Hoffman, Director of Inspection presented a staff report and recommended that the City Council not adopt the fire escrow ordinance. Councilmember Nelson didn't believe there was a hardship for the homeowner or the business owner. He agreed that there was a great deal of the regulations in the City Ordinance Code that were unnecessary and duplicative and could be get rid of, but just because something is a tool that is not used, doesn't mean it will never be used. Councilmember Sanger asked if historically there had been a problem where a building had not been rebuilt and this type of ordinance would be helpful and indicated that there would only be an administrative burden only when there is a distressed property. Mr. Hoffman explained there were not enough current properties with fire damage significant enough to trigger this statute. Councilmember Jacobs didn't believe it was necessary and was opposed to the resolution. It was moved by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by Councilmember Sanger, to adopt a resolution establishing an escrow account for structures severely damaged by fire and/'or explosion. The motion failed 1-5. Councilmember Nelson was in favor. Councilmembers Jacobs, Sanger, Dorfman, Latz and Brimeyer opposed. 8c. City Engineer's Report: Entrance/identity signs at Trunk Highway 7 and Blake Road and at Louisiana Avenue and the South Frontage Road of I-394- Project No. 98-15.

Councilmember Sanger recommended a friendly amendment to make the following addition to Item 3 of resolution. Project No. 98-05 is hereby ordered contingent upon the issuance on general obligation bonds to fund this associated construction. Council discussed the amendment to the motion. The City Manager clarified that there would be a window of time for which the City will be authorizing bonds ongoing capital projects of this type and that the window will include time in the past and future. He indicated that a policy has not been finalized with Council that says that this kind of mechanism will be used. Councilmember Sanger asked if it was the intent to do this project even if no bonds are issued. Mr. Meyer stated that if the Council turns down a bond authorization, it would be staff's recommendation to do the project and seek other sources of funding to this, but future projects wouldn't be done if there was no authorization to do bonding. Councilmember Brimeyer stated he could not accept friendly amendment because he didn't want to hold up project, but he did agree that the bond issue needs to be considered as soon as possible so projects can be funded for cash flow purposes. He noted that because this hasn't been done, several funds that are hurting which is not fiscally responsible. He wanted it noted that if the project are approved, it is clearly understood that the Council has made a public statement that there is a need to look at issuing bonds to fund these projects. Councilmember Sanger asked if she could have the assurance that in the worst case if the bonds are turned down, the City would find some other source of funds to pay for this project. Mr. Meyer stated this would be the case Councilmember Sanger withdrew her friendly amendment The motion passed 6-0. 8e.

It was moved by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs, to adopt the attached resolution execution of Change Order No. 1 in the amount of$35,884.00 to Contract No. 51-98 fro structural repairs, increasing the total contract amount from$218,560.00 to $254,444.00.
