He noted this plan would be submitted to the County and State in order to assist in pulling together resources. Councilmember Hovland encouraged staff to speak with local non-profit groups such as the Boy Scouts and Lions in order to get them involved in emergency situations. Moved by Councilmember Hovland, seconded by Mayor Ryan, that Resolution 17-045, “City of Blaine Emergency Operation Plan,” be approved. Motion adopted unanimously.

DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS Item 11.1 Removed by Applicant Prior to Meeting 11.-1 RES 17-101 GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR A 1,200 S.F. ATTACHED GARAGE IN AN R-1 (SINGLE FAMILY) ZONING DISTRICT. THE GARAGE WILL BE ATTACHED TO A HOME THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN CONSTRUCTED ON THIS LOT, LOCATED AT 765 100TH COURT NE. CARL RUDNITSKI. (CASE FILE NO. 17-0024/NBL) Removed Prior to Meeting 11.-2 RES 17-102 GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 6,500 S.F. MULTI-TENANT RETAIL BUILDING IN A PBD (PLANNED BUSINESS DISTRICT) AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF 117TH AVENUE AND ULYSSES LANE NE. STONE CONSTRUCTION. (CASE FILE NO. 17-0023/LSJ) Planning and Community Development Director Schafer stated Stone Construction wishes to construct a multi-tenant retail building on one of the commercial lots at the northwest corner of 117th Avenue and Ulysses Lane. This site is zoned PBD (Planned District), and this Zoning District requires that each use receive approval of a conditional use permit. Therefore, the applicant is requesting the approval of a conditional use permit that would allow for the construction of a 6,500-square foot multi-tenant retail building. Planning and Community Development Director Schafer reported the multi-tenant retail building that is proposed is 6,500 square feet. The occupant of the 3,400-square foot tenant space on the south end of the building will be US Nails, which is a nail salon. A restaurant is being proposed in the middle 1,200 square foot tenant space, and there are no tenants known for the remainder of the building. Staff provided further comment on the proposed request and recommended approval. Moved by Councilmember King, seconded by Mayor Ryan, that Resolution No. 17-102, “Granting a Conditional Use Permit to Allow for the Construction of a 6,500 S.F. Multi-Tenant Retail Building in a PBD (Planned Business District) at the Northwest Corner of 117th Avenue and Ulysses Lane NE,” be approved. Motion adopted unanimously. Aye: 6 - Mayor Ryan, Councilmember Swanson, Councilmember Clark, Councilmember King, Councilmember Hovland and Councilmember Jeppson 11.-3 RES 17-103 GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT TO ALLOW FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE MULTI-TENANT RETAIL BUILDING AT City of Blaine Page 5 City Council Minutes - Final August 3, 2017 11633 ULYSSES STREET NE. THE EXPANSION OF THE BUILDING WOULD INCLUDE 10,850 SQUARE FEET (TWO TENANT SPACES) TO THE MARSHALLS/PETCO BUILDING. RYAN COMPANIES US, INC. (CASE FILE NO. 15-0069/LSJ) Planning and Community Development Director Schafer stated Ryan Companies is proposing to build two additional tenant spaces on the 33,500-square foot existing building. The proposed tenant spaces would be 2,340 square feet and 8,495 square feet respectively, for a total addition square footage of approximately 10,850 square feet. The tenants of the addition have not yet been determined. Planning and Community Development Director Schafer explained Ryan Companies constructed all site improvements with the first phase of this development so all parking areas, landscaping and lighting have been constructed on site. Therefore, the parking on site meets ordinance requirements because this building addition was always envisioned. Additionally, the landscaping and lighting on site meet City ordinance requirements as well. The only change to the original approved landscaping is the relocation of a few trees that need to be relocated because of this addition. Staff provided further comment regarding the request and recommended approval. Councilmember Jeppson asked who would be occupying this building. Planning and Community Development Director Schafer reported this information has not been shared with staff. Moved by Councilmember Clark, seconded by Councilmember Jeppson, that Resolution No. 17-103, “Granting a Conditional Use Permit Amendment to Allow for the Expansion of the Multi-Tenant Retail Building at 11633 Ulysses Street NE. The Expansion of the Building would include 10,850 Square Feet (Two Tenant Spaces) to the Marshall/Petco Building,” be approved. Motion adopted unanimously. Aye: 6 - Mayor Ryan, Councilmember Swanson, Councilmember Clark, Councilmember King, Councilmember Hovland and Councilmember Jeppson 11.-4 RES 17-104 GRANTING A PRELIMINARY PLAT TO SUBDIVIDE 2.93 ACRES INTO FOUR (4) LOTS AND ONE (1) OUTLOT TO BE KNOWN AS JOHNSTONS BLAINE ESTATES, LOCATED AT 2959 91ST AVENUVE NE. STEPHEN AND CINDY JOHNSTON. (CASE FILE NO. 17-0022/SLK) Planning and Community Development Director Schafer stated the applicant owns two parcels that are approximately 2.93 acres total. The applicant’s proposal is to subdivide the parcels into four single-family lots, consistent with the R-1 (Single Family) zoning district standards. The proposed parcels will exceed the 10,000-square foot lot size minimum in the R-1 zoning district and will meet the City’s lot depth requirements. One lot would be created on the east side of a proposed extension of Dunkirk St., Lot 1 would access Dunkirk Street. The existing home will remain on Lot 2 and will continue to access 91st Avenue NE. Lot 2 will have the potential to be subdivided in City of Blaine Page 6 City Council Minutes - Final August 3, 2017 the future. Lots 3 and 4 will also access 91st Avenue NE. Outlot A is for future development. He commented on the street improvements that would be required for the plat. Planning and Community Development Director Schafer explained the City is scheduled to install utility improvements on the un-built portion of Dunkirk Street later in 2017. The City would also like to see the extension and completion of Dunkirk Street as well which could be scheduled for 2018 either as the result of a petition from this property owner and the property to the west of Dunkirk or as the result of the City initiating the project. In either case the costs of that street connection would need to be assessed to the adjoining properties that benefit. Planning and Community Development Director Schafer commented the existing lot paid 1.3 lot unit assessments for 91st Avenue with project 94-06E in 1998. With platting, connection charges for the lot on Dunkirk Street become due at the City’s typical rate of $15,428. 91st Avenue was identified as a “spine” street for the Southeast Area Assessment Policy. A different rate was established for the spine street lots due to the uniqueness of construction and placement of existing homes. With platting, connection charges for the two lots on 91st Avenue become due at the rate of $22,717 each. Future platting could have additional connection charges due. Moved by Councilmember Hovland, seconded by Councilmember King, that Resolution No. 17-104, “Granting a Preliminary Plat to Subdivide 2.93 Acres into Four (4) Lots and One (1) Outlot to be known as Johnston’s Blaine Estates, located at 2959 91st Avenue NE,” be approved. Councilmember Jeppson and Councilmember Swanson requested an amendment to the motion amending Condition 12 to state the typical rate for connection charges will be $15,428. Amended motion adopted unanimously. Aye: 6 - Mayor Ryan, Councilmember Swanson, Councilmember Clark, Councilmember King, Councilmember Hovland and Councilmember Jeppson 11.-5 ORD 17-2379 SECOND READING GRANTING A REZONING FROM FR (FARM RESIDENTIAL) TO R-1AA (SINGLE FAMILY) AT QUAIL CREEK PARKWAY WEST EXTENSION AND 132ND AVENUE WEST EXTENSION FOR QUAIL CREEK 10TH ADDITION. PAUL GAGNON. (CASE FILE NO. 16-0030/LSJ) Planning and Community Development Director Schafer stated at this time the applicant is requesting the approval of a preliminary plat for the 10th Addition of Quail Creek, which contains 96 single family lots and three outlots. This plat will complete the final stages of the Quail Creek development as this plat will encompass the vacant land between the Quail Creek development and the City of Blaine Page 7 City Council Minutes - Final August 3, 2017 Wagamon Ranch development. A portion of the plat (approximately 80 acres) needs to be rezoned to R-1AA (Single Family) from FR (Farm Residential). Some of the plat was zoned R-1AA from the previous platting activities of the first 9 additions of Quail Creek. To complete this development, the remaining parcel that is still zoned FR needs to be rezoned to R-1AA to match the zoning of the remainder of the Quail Creek development. Councilmember King asked if a road connection would be made to the east after the completion of this project. Planning and Community Development Director Schafer reviewed a map of Quail Creek 10th with the Council and noted how the plat would tie into neighboring developments. He anticipated a connection would not be made for another four or five years. Moved by Councilmember King, seconded by Councilmember Jeppson, that Ordinance No. 17-2379, “Granting a Rezoning from FR (Farm Residential) to R-1AA (Single Family) at Quail Creek Parkway West Extension and 132nd Avenue West Extension for Quail Creek 10th Addition,” be approved. Motion adopted unanimously. Aye: 6 - Mayor Ryan, Councilmember Swanson, Councilmember Clark, Councilmember King, Councilmember Hovland and Councilmember Jeppson 11.-6 RES 17-105 GRANTING PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL TO SUBDIVIDE 111 ACRES INTO 96 LOTS AND THREE (3) OUTLOTS TO BE KNOWN AS QUAIL CREEK 10TH ADDITION. PAUL GAGNON. (CASE FILE NO. 16-0030/LSJ) Planning and Community Development Director Schafer stated the applicant is requesting approval of a preliminary plat for the 10th Addition of Quail Creek, which contains 111 acres, 96 single family lots and three outlots. This plat will complete the final stages of the Quail Creek development as this plat will encompass the vacant land between the Quail Creek development and the Wagamon Ranch development. The lots in the plat all meet the minimum lot size, lot depth and lot width requirements of the R-1AA (Single-Family) zoning district. All of the outlots will be used for drainage and utility purposes. Planning and Community Development Director Schafer reported this plat will provide an access connection to the east to the development of Wagamon Ranch through the 132nd Avenue alignment. This connection is an essential element of the interconnectivity that the City seeks to provide between the neighborhoods in this area, and this connection has been planned for throughout the first 9 additions of Quail Creek. Staff noted the development would be completed in phases. Moved by Councilmember Hovland, seconded by Mayor Ryan, that Resolution No. 17-105, “Granting Preliminary Plat Approval to Subdivide 111 Acres into 96 Lots and Three (3) Outlots to be known as Quail Creek 10th Addition,” be approved. City of Blaine Page 8 City Council Minutes - Final August 3, 2017 Motion adopted unanimously. Aye: 6 - Mayor Ryan, Councilmember Swanson, Councilmember Clark, Councilmember King, Councilmember Hovland and Councilmember Jeppson 11.-7 RES 17-106 GRANTING A COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT FROM PI/PC (PLANNED INDUSTRIAL/PLANNED COMMERCIAL) TO HDR (HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL) FOR A SENIOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ON PARCEL 10 OF THE MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR LEXINGTON MEADOWS, LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF LEXINGTON AVE NE AND 109TH AVENUE NE. WELLINGTON MANAGEMENT. (CASE FILE NO. 17-0026/LSJ) Planning and Community Development Director Schafer stated Wellington Management is proposing to develop the southwest quadrant of Lexington Avenue and 109th Avenue. The quadrant is roughly 80 acres in size, is zoned PBD (Planned Business District), and has a land use of PI/PC (Planned Industrial/Planned Commercial). The development proposal utilizes approximately 32 acres of the 80-acre site and includes potential general retail/office uses and a senior housing residential piece. These uses would be supported by the PBD zoning district. The housing portion of the development, however, is not currently supported by the PI/PC land use designation. The applicant is requesting to change the land use for the housing portion of the development to HDR. Planning and Community Development Director Schafer explained the senior housing piece, which consists of a four-story apartment building with 189 units, is being proposed by Dominium, who is a senior housing provider with other developments in the metro area. Dominium is proposing an income limit of 60% of the area median income for seniors living in this building, which means that Dominium is looking to secure financing for the project prior to the start of construction. In order to secure the financing, Dominium and its lenders need to have some assurances from the City that this plan will be supported when final plans have to be drawn up and the appropriate land use applications have to be submitted. Planning and Community Development Director Schafer indicated the proposal for including higher density housing on approximately six (6) acres of this site (shown as Lot 10) has been presented to the City Council at a workshop meeting to gauge their interest in this concept. The City Council gave the indication to move forward with the comprehensive plan amendment and hold a public hearing on the matter. Obviously, the amendment is needed to add senior housing into the mix of the uses for this development. In its narrative, Wellington has listed possible scenarios for uses in the overall development, and senior housing would fit and blend well with those uses. Finally, housing with an affordability component that increases housing choices for independent seniors has been established by the City as a need for the City of Blaine Page 9 City Council Minutes - Final August 3, 2017 City and surrounding areas. Mayor Ryan stated the proposed housing would meet a need in the community given the growing number of seniors in Blaine. Councilmember Hovland commented he would not be supporting this request. He said while he liked the proposed layout of the development he did not feel this was the proper location for senior housing and wanted to see this entire site remain retail. Councilmember King asked if the applicant was proposing to construct assisted living senior housing. Planning and Community Development Director Schafer reported the developer was proposing to build independent senior living apartment units. Councilmember King questioned where the closest public transit site was. Planning and Community Development Director Schafer stated he was uncertain but understood this area did not have a lot of transit opportunities. He noted there was a park and ride location at 95th Avenue. Moved by Councilmember Clark, seconded by Councilmember Swanson, that Resolution No. 17-106, “Granting a Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment from PI/PC (Planned Industrial/Planned Commercial) to HDR (High Density Residential) for a Senior Housing Development on Parcel 10 of the Master Development for Lexington Meadows, located at the Southwest Quadrant of Lexington Avenue NE and 109th Avenue NE,” be approved. Motion adopted 5-1 (Councilmember Hovland opposed). Aye: 5 - Mayor Ryan, Councilmember Swanson, Councilmember Clark, Councilmember King and Councilmember Jeppson Nay: 1 - Councilmember Hovland 11.-8 RES 17-107 GRANTING MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL FOR 32 ACRES ON THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF LEXINGTON AVENUE AND 109TH AVENUE TO BE CALLED LEXINGTON MEADOWS. WELLINGTON MANAGEMENT. (CASE FILE NO. 17-0026/LSJ) Planning and Community Development Director Schafer stated Wellington Management has submitted a narrative that describes potential uses, site layout, type and size of structures, exterior materials used on the buildings, roadway and parking layouts, signage and lighting. The site will have a full movement access off of 109th Avenue that will serve as one of the main entrances to the development. A limited access (RI/RO) is also proposed onto Lexington Avenue. Both of these accesses will need to be approved by Anoka County. The developer will need to take the lead in this approval process and will have responsibility for completing the improvements as required by the County. City of Blaine Page 10 City Council Minutes - Final August 3, 2017 Planning and Community Development Director Schafer reported the applicant has stated that this will be a mostly retail development with a possible large retail user (potential grocery site) on the northeast corner of the development. There have been no tenants secured for this site yet, as this Master Development Plan approval is a step towards providing tenants with a concept design to base their decisions upon. Almost half of the acreage will be used for drainage and ponding purposes. The concept plan shows a stormwater pond, lake and a wetland on the southwest side of the development. Of course, all appropriate agencies will need to be contacted to obtain proper permits for this development. Staff provided further comment on the concept level of this project and requested Council approval. Mayor Ryan believed the proposed senior housing would be a great option for seniors who wish to age in place while allowing them also to remain Blaine residents. He wished Wellington Management all the best on their new development. Moved by Councilmember Clark, seconded by Mayor Ryan, that Resolution No. 17-107, “Granting Master Development Plan Approval for 32 Acres on the Southwest Quadrant of Lexington Avenue and 109th Avenue to be called Lexington Meadows,” be approved. Motion adopted 5-1 (Councilmember Hovland opposed). Aye: 5 - Mayor Ryan, Councilmember Swanson, Councilmember Clark, Councilmember King and Councilmember Jeppson Nay: 1 - Councilmember Hovland 12. ADMINISTRATION 12.-1 RES 17-108 RESCIND SEASONAL PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON EDISON STREET, 124TH CIRCLE AND 123RD CIRCLE WEST OF NORTH MARINA CIRCLE City Engineer Keely stated on August 4, 2016, the City received a petition from residents who live on Edison Street, 123rd Circle and 124th Circle, all west of North Marina Circle. The petition was signed by 82 of the 109 parcels (75%) and asked the City Council to consider parking restrictions on Edison Street, 123rd Circle and 124th Circle. City Engineer Keely explained at their June 15, 2017 Council meeting, the City Council approved seasonal parking restrictions on all three streets and year-round parking restrictions on Edison Street adjacent to the two medians west of North Marina Circle by Resolution No. 17-080. On June 16, 2017, a letter was sent to each resident informing them of this action and the process to request temporary parking permits for special events from the Blaine PD. City of Blaine Page 11 City Council Minutes - Final August 3, 2017 City Engineer Keely indicated the City Council heard from several residents that they did not want to deal with requesting special event permits to allow for temporary parking and requested that all seasonal parking restrictions be reconsidered. The City Council directed that the signs not be installed until they had a chance to discuss the previously approved parking restrictions. A second letter was sent to all adjacent residents that the Council will be reconsidering the seasonal parking restrictions at their August 3, 2017 Council meeting. Staff reported the proposed resolution was prepared if Council decides to rescind all seasonal parking restrictions on Edison Street, 124th Circle and 123rd Circle. The year-round parking restrictions adjacent to the two medians on Edison Street west of North Marina Circle will still be posted with parking restrictions. Councilmember Clark stated he was not sure if there was Council consensus to rescind the seasonal parking restrictions. Todd Evenson, 124th and Edison Street, recommended the no parking signs remain on the two medians on Edison Street west of North Marina Circle. He did not believe that the remainder of the neighborhood had to be signed No Parking. Moved by Councilmember Hovland, seconded by Councilmember Clark, that Resolution 17-108, “Rescind Seasonal Parking Restrictions on Edison Street, 124th Circle and 123rd Circle West of North Marina Circle,” be approved. Motion adopted unanimously. Aye: 6 - Mayor Ryan, Councilmember Swanson, Councilmember Clark, Councilmember King, Councilmember Hovland and Councilmember Jeppson Councilmember Clark questioned when the No Parking signs would be posted. City Engineer Keely anticipated the signs would be put up in the next week or two. 12.-2 RES 17-109 DECLARE COST TO BE ASSESSED, ORDER PREPARATION AND CALL FOR HEARING ON PROPOSED ASSESSMENT FOR TRUNK UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS TO SERVE THE NORTH HALF OF THE NORTHEAST QUARTER OF SECTION 23 AND THE PLAT OF GLENN MEADOWS, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 14-14 City Engineer Keely stated Project No. 14-14 includes trunk and lateral sanitary sewer and trunk and lateral water main, and appurtenant construction.
