All voted in favor and the motion carried. VISITOR PRESENTATION: None. CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO STIPULATION AGREEMENT FOR HALLA NURSERY~ 10000 GREAT PLAINS BOULEVARD. Kate Aanenson: This item was tabled twice. At the last City Council meeting on September 28th. The Council asked staff to review the location of the peacock barn with the concern that it may be onerous to the neighbors on Daylily Place. There is trees there. The other issue is that they asked the applicant to meet with the neighbors. They have provided neighborhood input reforms. The other issue that was still outstanding was a sign permit. They are requesting a sign. It's the staff's opinion that it does not constitute a wall, or a window sign but is rather a wall sign. Again that would require an amendment to the stipulation agreement. Staff is proposing that the council recommends approval of this. That you limit the size and location of the barn as shown on the site plan and the number of birds allowed which they are requesting approximately, that we use that word, 75. Then also a sign permit, which they have filled out, be applied for for the greenhouse, to limit that sign to 8 feet by 4 feet. Again the reason for the sign was that they are part of, it say should say Truser Home and Garden Showplace and they are required as a part of that to have a sign. So with that, those two conditions, staff would support that. Acting Mayor Mason: Okay. Does council have any questions for staff at this time? Hearing none, Mr. Halla would you like to comment at all tonight? You're certainly welcome to. You don't have to. Don Halla: I don't know where we're at with this so I don't know what to comment on. Councilman Senn: He can't resist. Don Halla: You said you wanted to leave early so I thought I'd... Acting Mayor Mason: Sounds good to me. Don Halla: No, I don't know what the thoughts are you know, the pro and con. I guess I'd rather interact with it at that point. We can do any one of things. Build the 20 x 50 foot building that we have. We're here so... If anything, on the bigger building that we've asked for on the other end, we would use it for storage too so we wouldn't have outside storage where we have it. Acting Mayor Mason: Am I to assume then Don that you are in agreement with staff recommendations on this? The size and location of barn and number of peacocks allowed. Don Halla: I don't know really know that I know. Did staff agree that our location? Kate Aanenson: We've just remained silent on it. We just said if the Council wants to approve it, that we recommended it be limited to 5,000 square feet shown as on the site plan, which is where you wanted it, and that they limit it to approximately 75 birds. And also that a sign permit be taken out. That was our recommendation. Acting Mayor Mason: And I understand the sign permit has been taken out and that is essentially what you wanted was the square footage and approximately the 75 birds, is that correct? Yeah. Don Halla: We do have other miscellaneous.., above that. Acting Mayor Mason: Understood. With that, any comments from council on this request? Councilman Berquist: I was just looking through the neighborhood survey that was done by the Halla's. A family has indicated that the noise is pretty bothersome. I'm trying to get a feel for the location. Okay. No. Nothing here. Acting Mayor Mason: Hearing none, I'll ask for a motion. Councilman Berquist: I'll move approval of the construction of the facility in the new location as outlined in the staff report. Acting Mayor Mason: And as well the recommendation also includes a sign permit be taken out, which it has been done but just so we're clear on that. Councilman Berquist: Sorry, I was just reading here. Councilman Senn: Did you include the condition that the trees remain? Councilman Berquist: The trees to the south of the new structure? Absolutely. Councilman Senn: That they remain in place. Not be. Councilman Berquist: I mean that was the intent, right? Don Halla: Yeah, we'll be... Councilman Berquist: And the sign permit has been applied for. Kate Aanenson: Right. It needs to be paid for and picked up, correct. Councilman Senn: I guess I really want to make that clear. I mean the applicant made it very clear to us that there would be a buffer between this and the residents so I want it to be a stipulation that there be a buffer maintained there. At all times. Acting Mayor Mason: That sounds like that will be included in this recommendation. Councilman Berquist: So the condition that I'm adding to my motion is that a buffer be included to the south of that property. Of the south of the 54 x 100 foot new structure at all times. Don Halla: ... going to have a problem, we do it in increments of 4 feet in length... Councilman Berquist: I don't have any problem with that. Acting Mayor Mason: I'll second that motion. Any more discussion? Councilman Berquist moved, Acting Mayor Mason seconded to approve the amendment to the Stipulation Agreement for Halla Nursery specifying the following items: 1. The size and location of the barn and the number of peacocks allowed. 2. A sign permit be issued for one 8' x 4' sign to be displayed in the greenhouse. 3. A buffer remain at all times to the south of the new structure. All voted in favor and the motion carried. REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THE OPERATION OF A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT (SUBWAY) AT SEVEN FORTY-ONE CROSSING CENTER, 2413 WEST HIGHWAY 7; SUB-STANTIAL SANDWICHES, FRAN FAGERSTROM. Kate Aanenson: The applicant is requesting a new location for their Subway. It's currently at the Seven and Forty One Crossing. It has been there since 1990. It did not receive a conditional use but now that they are moving to a new location, we are taking it through the correct process. The staff sent out notification on the conditional use. We did receive some complaints about screening, trash blowing around and smells. Based on that, looking at the original conditions of approval for that center, we recommended that the trash be stored internally which was a condition. Also that the operation comply with all the original conditions of the site plan 86-2. When the Planning Commission held their hearing, they did not concur with that recommendation. They felt like that would be onerous because the business has been in operation since 1990 and has not stored their trash inside so they recommended that they be allowed to continue to store their trash out. With that I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. Acting Mayor Mason: Council have any questions for staff at this time? Okay, I understand the applicant is here. Would you like to say a few words? You're certainly welcome to. Fran Fagerstrom: ... conditional use permit that was apparently required back then was never... The trash issue, the first time I heard about the indoor trash facility was last Wednesday, which is a little bit late. What I understand is that the complaints that are coming from odor, not odors of garbage but odors of cooking. And basically the comments that I've heard is not odors of bread but odors of seafood and so on and so forth from the other resident of the mall. Other than that, I have a complaint about the garbage outside myself. Blowing around. I really think that the mall itself, the landlord probably should bite the bullet and hire someone to build... As far as our own garbage, we do maintain garbage in the trash dumpster...garbage out back, but it isn't our garbage. I came to work last Monday and there was, someone had decided to remodel their basement and continued to dump the back in the back of the mall. They dumped a toilet and they smashed it. A cabinet. Rolls of carpet and rolls of carpet pad, which none of those businesses are going to have carpet and pads. They have carpet but not pads. So that's a continuing problem and I don't think moving the trash indoors is going to eliminate that sort of situation. It's, I don't know, nestled in the back. It's quiet. People can come in and go out as they please and darn well dump pretty much what they want. Acting Mayor Mason: Is the area you will be using for trash now screened? If it were to remain outside, is it screened and/or buffered from the neighborhood? Fran Fagerstrom: Oh yeah. There are three trash corrals. What I mean by corrals, three sided structures with front doors with no roof obviously .... and there are three of those and we're designated a certain trash area from the landlord. There's one in each end and one basically in the middle. Acting Mayor Mason: But are those areas, can they be, are they protected from view from the back from the neighbors? Fran Fagerstrom: The trash area is concrete walls about 7 feet tall. And the neighbors can see those concrete walls but the front of them have a wooded swinging door. Acting Mayor Mason: Okay. Does any members of council have questions for the applicant here right now? Councilman Berquist: Every restaurant or food establishment that's in there is a conditional use? Kate Aanenson: I believe fast food is a conditional use. The Happy Gardens is a sit down restaurant and that's a permitted use. Councilman Berquist: Okay, and when the center was built we knew that type of application was viable and the trash corrals were, it sounds so formal, trash corrals. Were an approved method by which to get rid of their, a restaurants would. Kate Aanenson: The original conditions said trash would be stored indoors. I wasn't here at the time so I'm not sure how it ended up outdoors with the trash. I'm not sure how we got to that point. And again that's why the Planning Commission, that's already set in place. We believe it's onerous to try to make one...but there is, the complaints haven't been just about the smell but it's the blowing trash and I concur some of it's...responsibility but it's also some of the tenants responsibility to make sure it's put in the containers and doors are closed and lids are down and that sort of thing. Councilman Berquist: We were talking about this in the pre-council work session. I wasn't aware, I've been behind that place for some reason. I think I pulled my boat over there once a long time ago. I did not remember seeing trash enclosures. Fran Fagerstrom: There's three of them. They've been there since day one. Councilman Berquist: Well I'm sure you're right but I was thinking, I was envisioning each tenant having to have their own dumpster sitting behind their space close to a corral. And how often are these, how often are they picked up? Is it once a week? No. Fran Fagerstrom: Well it's even more than that. We actually pay, we pay, it's in the common area maintenance fee but we pay an extra trash pick-up just because we go through more. I'm not sure how many times a week he's out there. I've got to say it's three or four. That plus then there's cardboard recycling besides that. Councilman Berquist: And how close is the nearest neighbor to you, out the back door? Fran Fagerstrom: 200 yards. From where I am now. There's that white, older white farm house on the comer near TH 41 itself and then there's that cul-de-sac down the hill that's kind of nestled down there. Those are the closest neighbors to us right now. The white house will be closer to us now when we move over. The older white house. Councilman Senn: It seems to me we're kind of caught between two sides here. Basically we have an original condition on this property which included inside trash storage. This center was a highly contentious issue out in that neighborhood and you know there were very specific criteria put against it as a result of a lot of public hearings. My gosh, spanning I think over a year if I remember right. It went on quite a while I remember. Don Ashworth: I'd say 8, 7-8 years. Councilman Senn: Yeah, but I mean once they really got into, even into the nitty gritty of the center they spent a ton of time just over how this would be and how that would be. You know the landlord, if the landlord, I mean it's not really our issue whether the landlord or the tenants has the responsibility for the trash. Our conditional use relates to the functioning of this business. It would seem to me our choice tonight is to approve the conditional use based on staff's recommendations which includes the inside trash storage, but then open a caveat for the tenants and/or in combination with the landlord to possibly come back with an overall proposal to deal with trash on a basis other than inside storage. But at the same time put them on notice that you know we will be notifying the neighborhoods and the neighborhoods will have an opportunity to come in and comment on it. I'm really uneasy with just kind of changing this on a basis of an action like this and the neighbors haven't really been notified that that's what we're doing. They were changing the original design component of the center that was approved in all of those debates back when. Councilman Berquist: And I would tend to agree. If the original concept was inside trash, how we ended up with outside trash is beyond me but I do remember a lot of discussion going on amongst the neighborhoods and the city and the landlords on the property. So at the risk of. Joel Jamnick: The inside trash facility was after that mall had been opened and after Subway was already in there, is what I understand, and that's.., back in '91 or something like that. Fran Fagerstrom: But how come it's the first I heard of it was last Wednesday. We're well under construction in this new spot. I mean we're $40,000.00-$50,000.00 into this construction. And I have no space in my 1,200 square feet to put trash indoors. There just is no space. 1,200 square feet is hardly enough when you have to deal with 400 square feet for bathrooms from the ADA and I have to put two of those in required by the City here when most, a lot of stores can get by with one. And then I've got 200 feet of hallway getting back to the bathrooms so I've coughed up 600 square feet. I've coughed up half of my square feet for bathrooms and hallway. I don't have any spot to put indoor trash. So you need to be prepared to deal, if this is going to be an issue, we're going to have a huge issue. We'll have a huge issue. Councilman Senn: Well I think you need to understand that it is an issue and we're going to deal with it but you have to understand that it's not our issue. Okay the issue is is your landlord is obligated under the conditions of the agreement we have with them, which includes inside storage of trash. Fran Fagerstrom: This is the second landlord now so I don't know if you're aware of that. Councilman Senn: No, whatever agreements we have with one landlord transfers to the next. Acting Mayor Mason: But it is our issue too Mark. I mean I know what you're saying but. Councilman Senn: I don't think we can change promises to neighborhoods and conditions we put on projects without notifying the neighborhoods that we're going to change them. Acting Mayor Mason: Well, that's true. That's true but there, I don't deny that but there is also the fact, and I'm finding myself feeling differently than I did in the council work session. There is something to be said for the fact, right or wrong, that this trash has been stored outside ever since day one. Councilman Berquist: We don't know that. Councilman Senn: We don't know that. Acting Mayor Mason: Well, it's been stored outside for quite some time. Fran Fagerstrom: I've been outside since day one. We were the first place open there after Video Update. The first restaurant. Acting Mayor Mason: And that was when? Fran Fagerstrom: 1990. Acting Mayor Mason: So yeah, I'm not. Hearing that, I'm not quite sure how we're going to force the issue on that. If everyone else has been storing trash outside since 1990. Councilman Senn: Well Mike I'm not suggesting there's not a solution but the only way we can come up with a solution is get the person in here who's responsible for providing the solution and negotiate a solution, which may mean allowing use of the outside trash with maybe some different or proper trash containers for food handling and maybe some landscaping around them, you know which we would have required probably in the first place if there were outside trash enclosures approved, etc. Acting Mayor Mason: Yeah, I think this is an issue that's bigger than your deal here and I guess my feeling is, is I don't think you should be penalized by that, and Mark what I'm. Councilman Senn: I'm not saying that. Acting Mayor Mason: Right, right, right. And what I'm hearing you say is, it sounds like the landlord and staff needs to get together and figure something out here. Which I think sounds somewhat reasonable under the circumstances. Councilman Senn: Right. I just don't think right now we can condone or approve effectively something outside the original agreement unless we have a hearing on it and advise the neighborhood. Acting Mayor Mason: That's fine. I would however, I agree with the trash issue but I guess I don't think that Subway should be held up. Councilman Senn: I think they're under construction. I don't think it's a matter of being held up. Fran Fagerstrom: Well it is if we want to move from one location to the other. We can't get a Certificate of Occupancy without you guys blessing so. Joel Jamnick: Mayor. Acting Mayor Mason: Yeah, go ahead. Joel Jamnick: Might I interject. If you look at page 5 of the staff report. One of the recommended conditions is number 2. Is that the operation would comply with all conditions of Site Plan Review #86-2. That is also reproduced as the last attachment in your packet as Attachment #7. And on Exhibit A of that attachment, number 5 indicates that back in 1986 the requirement was that the trash enclosure must be totally screened. So if you adopt the staff recommendations of 86-2, that would be consistent with the originally approved conditions that would meet your, in fact number 1 on page 5 of the staff recommendations seems to be inconsistent with the 1986 terms so I would recommend, given what the staff report is, that you delete condition number 1 on page 5 and if you're inclined to approve the conditional use permit, you just make it consistent with the conditions of Site Plan Review #86-2. And then if that is somehow still a problem for the neighborhood or still a problem for the retail center, an amendment to that conditional use permit or that site plan review would be in order at a later date. Acting Mayor Mason: That's why we have an attorney. Thank you for catching that. Don Ashworth: Or I think the remaining issues would really be one of kind of an enforcement. So for staff to get a hold of the owner and say hey, we've had some problems and you need to clean up your act. Acting Mayor Mason: I would like to see that added on. Not as a condition for Subway but I would like to see an amendment to this stating that staff will be talking with management of Seven Forty One on trash issues. Councilman Berquist: Does that contradict something you had seen somewhere Kate? Kate Aanenson: Yeah. Unfortunately someone on my staff had pointed out to me that was a condition somewhere and following the logic that Exhibit A had, there's something missing. What is totally screened. Somewhere there was a, I believe that they had said it to be indoors and I don't see it here but. Joel Jamnick: It's possible I'm wrong. I'm maybe just going off of the written materials. There may have been an oral amendment of the Council. Kate Aanenson: But I concur, this one says it be screened and that does meet the intent in that it's screened. But there is a bigger issue and that's that the trash be picked up in the appropriate containers and we will address that and it has been done and we'll follow up on it. Councilman Senn: Well if that's there and that exists, again a motion based on it meeting the original guidelines doesn't change that one way or another and keeps it consistent with what was approved in '86. Acting Mayor Mason: That's absolutely right. Councilman Senn: So I move approval of the Conditional Use Permit deleting item number 1 and substituting in instead that the, on the basis that the applicant meet all of the conditions as described and indicated in 86-2, Site Plan approval. Acting Mayor Mason: Is there a second? Councilman Berquist: I'll second. Acting Mayor Mason: Any more discussion? Councilman Senn moved, Councilman Berquist seconded to approve Conditional Use Permit #98-4 for the operation of Subway located at 2413 West Highway 7 (7/41 Crossings Center), based upon the findings presented in the staff report and subject to the following conditions: 1. The operation shall comply with all conditions of Site Plan Review #86-2. All voted in favor and the motion carried. Acting Mayor Mason: And then Kate, somebody in staff will be talking with management at Seven and Forty One there on enforcement? Good enough. AMENDMENT TO THE ENTIRE 2020 CHANHASSEN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, INCLUDING LAND USE, HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION, PARK & RECREATION, NATURAL RESOURCES, SEWER AND WATER. Acting Mayor Mason: We will move along to item number 4, which is the comprehensive plan. Kate, why don't you start us out on this and we'll take public comments and then act accordingly. Kate Aanenson: Staff is recommending approval of the comprehensive plan with the conditions in the staff report. It's our understanding that the council still has some issues with the capital improvement. We'd like to... so far so if you would approve that and with, without the capital improvement plan, that's fine but we did recommend approval with the nine conditions in the staff report and... I'd be happy to answer any questions that anybody in the audience would have. Acting Mayor Mason: Okay. Before council comments further, I would like any comments from anyone in the audience tonight on the comprehensive plan. If there are any, would you step forward now please. Jacqueline Schroeder: Hi. My name is Jacqueline Schroeder. I live at 7720 Frontier Trail and I guess my family's concern is on the existing land use map and the proposed land use map. Our house which is actually a residential zoned district shows up as office institutional or public facilities and I guess I have a concern with it being zoned something that it's not. Fix it now rather than later. Staff is aware of it and I guess we'd just like to have it fixed. I mean Hartley made the mistake. Kate Aanenson: We're aware of that. We met with the city attorney last Friday. There's probably going to be a hundred minor zoning changes we're going to have to make where there's inconsistencies between the comprehensive plan and the land use. We have a couple months. We're going to take those in priorities. This is one that's pretty straight forward that we'll be taking first. We decided, we kind of set up a strategy how we'll accomplish that. We're going to sit down and have neighborhood meetings and explain to people why we need to take this process. Educate them on what we're doing. And then we will start our public hearings and that should be taking place in December and January. Jacqueline Schroeder: I guess my concern is that it was a mistake by Hartley. It's not a change in the land use. I don't understand why we have to go through a public hearing when Hartley couldn't color the map right. I mean why does our house have to go through a comprehensive plan amendment and future public hearings when it was a simple coloring mistake. It's just like in front of here, if they would have called this Coulter Boulevard instead of City Center Drive and you adopted the plan, do you have to have public hearings to change it back to City Center Drive even though it was an obvious mistake. Kate Aanenson: I'm not aware that that's how the mistake got made. I can check that. Research that. Acting Mayor Mason: Okay, we'll certainly check into that but I share your concern but I don't think you need to worry about us, the city bulldozing your house down and. Jacqueline Schroeder: No, I'm not concerned about that. It's staff has known since March this has come up as an issue when we were doing the old town plan. It was brought to staff's attention. They found the old maps that showed it correctly as an R-1 zoning and I guess I don't understand why we have to go through the process. Acting Mayor Mason: Can you take a look Kate and. Kate Aanenson: I didn't know it was a coloring mistake. I've never heard that before. Councilman Senn: You're saying your property was zoned R-1. Jacqueline Schroeder: I don't know if it's R-1 or if it would be R-3, I don't... I don't know. 10 Kate Aanenson: RSF. Councilman Senn: Okay. Kate Aanenson: And supposedly it got changed to what the underlying church is, which is the church is office institutional. Jacqueline Schroeder: I think it's blue on the map. Kate Aanenson: Office institutional, right. Acting Mayor Mason: Okay, you'll take a look at it and if it's. Councilman Senn: But wait a minute. It got changed as part of the change that was done for the church? Kate Aanenson: No. She's alleging that it was made, a new map was made and it was incorrectly made on the map. That's what she's saying. I had never been told that before. I knew that there was a problem with the map, but again there's hundreds of issues that. Acting Mayor Mason: Okay Kate, maybe if I may be so bold, if you could look into that and if it is just a simple matter. Well, one way or another if you could contact Ms. Schroeder. Kate Aanenson: We'll put it on the next council agenda and if that's all, if the City Attorney says that's fine. That's appropriate, we would do it. Acting Mayor Mason: Okay. Jacqueline Schroeder: Thank you. Acting Mayor Mason: You bet. That's fair. Anyone else, comments on the comp plan this evening? Now because, for those of you that are not as versed as some in legalese, we did need, to approve the comp plan we need a 4/5 vote. As you can see there are only three of us here now. In our pre-council session we did meet briefly to approve the comp plan, because there was a fourth person here. We did approve the comp plan, the 4 to 0 vote pending negative discussion this evening, which as you can see there was none. The CIP portion of the comp plan was pulled out because there are some issues for prioritization of what should be happening in this city that council felt needed discussing. That will come up two weeks from tonight. Is that correct Don or Kate? I think. Kate Aanenson: The capital improvements? Acting Mayor Mason: Yeah. Kate Aanenson: I'm hopeful. Acting Mayor Mason: Yeah, that discussion and those decisions will be made two weeks from tonight so the comp plan was approved earlier this evening with minor modifications made, as amended in the staff report for this evening. Councilman Senn: Minor modifications made and changes made to the staff report. 11 Acting Mayor Mason: Right. Councilman Senn: And then also then this lady's issue will come up at the same time. Kate Aanenson: No matter what I'll bring it back to you so you understand what the issue is in two weeks. I'll have a report to you on what that issue is. Acting Mayor Mason: Sounds real good. COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS: None. ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS: None. ADMINISTRATIVE SECTION DISCUSSION: Councilman Berquist: How about this memo from Mike Mason? Acting Mayor Mason: I'll tell you, well you know I will tell you what that's all about. I am having a, inspections are always an issue for everybody. No matter what side of the inspections issue you're on. The memo says and I sent this in. I have a contractor working on my house, putting on a new deck and doing some work in the basement. When I asked him what he thought of our inspections division, he paused, smiled and said, "Well, they're very thorough but I've found that if I do it right the first time, I don't have any problems." I thought that was worth noting. That sounds like a job well done to me. Acting Mayor Mason adjourned the meeting. The City Council meeting was adjourned at 7:08 p.m. Submitted by Don Ashworth City Manager Prepared by Nann Opheim 12
