Marshall City Clerk Room 386 City Hall Dear Sir: This is written in response to the application of The Eljay Partnership for a permit to install and operate a 656-car parking ramp to be used in conjunction with the Skyway Building on property located in a portion of the blocks bounded by East Sixth, Minnesota, East Fifth, and Wabasha Streets, and noted in detail by the legal description on file. This matter was first considered at the May 21, 1970, Board of Zoning meeting. The staff report noted that this site was cleared as part of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority's Capital Center Project, and consists of major parts of two blocks. The Traffic Engineer recommended that two curb cuts be widened by two feet and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority noted by letter that "the design considerations are all in conformity with the Redevelopment Plan for said Project heretofore approved by the Planning Board and City Council, and will be upon completion a significant contribution to the Project and to the Downtown automobile parking problem". Staff conclusions noted first that the facility is nearing completion and a portion of it is in operation, and the City Council granted informal approval to the application on Apri1 9, 1970. Second, that the working drawings of the facility have previously been approved by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority. Third, that the transient portion of the ramp meets minimum design standards with 8.4-foot wide spaces and 16-foot wide maneuvering lanes. Fourth, that the contract portion of the ramp does not meet minimum design standards, being in some cases deficient in space width and maneuvering lane width. Finally, the staff noted in detail six adjustments which might facilitate the operation of the parking ramp and which had been reviewed with the applicant and the Traffic Engineer. In the subsequent discussion by the Board of Zoning, the following points were made: . --the purpose of bringing this matter before the Board at this time since the building has already been constructed; --�he apparent deficiencies of the facility that could have been corrected if review had preceded construction; --the informal and formal approval of plans by the City Council followed by their request to the Zoning Board for a recommendation; � � -1- ��^"�'�%. O X ' Mr. Harry E. Marshall (continued) June 22, 1970 --the inadequacy of 8.�-foot wide parking stalls; --the approval by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of a facility that does not meet the City's standards; and --the advisability or need of a recommendation from the Board on a facility already constructed. Messrs. David White and David Nordale, representing the applicant, noted during the discussion the prior approval by the City and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, and noted their willingness to conform to the suggested staff adjustments. Subsequently, it was the finding of the Board of Zoning that the facility already exists and has been approved by the City Council. It was then moved and seconded for the Board to take "No Action" on this matter. The motion passed by a 5-0 vote. At the June 4, 1970, regular meeting the Zoning Board received a letter from Cammissioner Tedesco requesting that the Board reconsider their action on this matter due to additional information which might allow the Board to recoirnnend approval or denial to the City Council. After some discussion, the Board voted 3-2 to reconsider the application for a permit. Mr. David White, attorney representing the applicant, reviewed the Board's previous consideration, and then reviewed the "Superblock's" development starting with the street vacation in 1968. He stated that one of the conditions of the vacation of air rights over Cedar Street was that the structure receive City approval. He then noted that the City Architect's office coordinated review of the construction plans. The City Architect questioned if the 1968 plans were complete working drawings and noted that subsequent to the Council resolution, the Building Department issued a permit. The staff noted that this permit includes the notation "subject to special-use permit". After hearing the presentation in great detail the Zoning Board discussed the situation at some length and concluded by reaffirming their previous decision by a , motion and second to take "No Action" on the application. The motion passed by a 3-2 vote. Board members voting in opposition to the motion felt that the matter should be sent to Council with a recommendation that would include the staff's suggestions or other improvements to the facility or its operation.

MIPNTES OF THE PUBLIC HY�ARING BEFORE TF� Bt?ARD OF ZONING on Thursday, June 4, 1970, at 2:00 P.M, PRBS�IT: Messrs. Ames, Gaugex, McPartlin, Maietta, and Mansur af tlie Board, and Messrs. Brown and Sorenson, Mrs. Frantzen, and Miss Sperr of the sts£f. Mre Rntzick of the Board was present but did not vote. Fo�lowing the regular meeting, the metter of The Eljay Parenership was presented. The s�tomeys and applicant wished to bring forCY� further info�,at ivn. Mr. Gauger moved for rec�rasideration of the matter by the Baard. The motion was seconded, and Messrs. Mc�'artYin, Ms:�etta, and Mansur voted against the motion, and ther�:foxe :�� ailed. Mr, McPartlin Qated that the new City Cauncil did no� send the n�atter fio the Zoning Baard in the first place; the old Cauncil did. Ms. .A�nea said thaC the new Council F�ill wonde� «hy the Board is sending a jnaCter to them without a recom�enxlz�tion of ex.ther �ppr�val or denial. Mrn Gsuger noted that zt shauld be on the agenc��. Mr. Mansur then indict�ted he wished to change his vote, snd aftes s� discussion, the motiozx and second wexe agein made, with a 3-2 vate resulting; Mr. McPart�in and Mr. Maietta voted n�y. Mra Sorenson safd that this matter has been he8rd �t a previous public heariag; if it is to be reconsidered at this meeting, it would be without property owuers be:Lng natified of another public hearing. Mr. Dave White, attorney for th� applicant, asked �or � reconsideraCion on the basis o€ in€osaiation that waen't prssented at the fas�tner Bosrd meeting. As a �esult of that infom�tion uot being available, the Board voted 5-0 to take No Action with respecC to the applicaCion and to send the mstter back to thE City Council wi�h na action resolved. tie under- stands from the previous m�eting thet that action wss taken because the building was alresdy coastructed, rand the Board of Zoning hadn't been consulted in regard to the parking ramp applfcation. He noted thet the steff and the Zoning �+oard may hav� had changes to recouanend had the maCter taken its proper course of action. Dire WhY.te stated thae over-all approval was granted in 1968; he wruld l�.ke to see what changes should be put into the ram�s. Ne noted Chat th� Board is correct in thefr feeling that they were not contacted af this proposal. He stated it is wrong that the City Planning 13�oard wasn't aware of the plan; he said that ia one of the first offices it w�nt �o in 1968. On JuYy Z2, 1968, the City Council vacated the air rights, �nd the mattex was presented by Edward HeZfeld of the Hausing and Redsvelopment Aueho�ity. Ga�a�ssioner DalgLish -I4- x . THE EI.TAY PARTN�RSHIP (6/�/70) (Continued}: ini�iated a resolution to grant a peti�ion to vacate the sir rights over Cedar Street, and as a reault of a S-0 vote, it wen� to ti�e City Attorney's office July 16, LR68, to prepare a resolution tha� subsequenCly paseed at Council by a 6-0 vote. It was made a conditian th�t the architect, by way o� the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, submit th� design of Che structure. He groceeded to resd �he resolu�ion oa July 16, 1968, paragraph 11. By l3ecpmbes, 1968, �Sr. Ames wrote a letter to �tayor Byrne that the City Archi�ect was the cooacdinating office for plans for the Skyway Building. These approvals are with the condition of paragraptr 11. One of �he Ciey offices involved, he said, was the City glanning Bosrd. Mr, Ames noted �hat it was his recognitivn that tt�e applfcant did mot have a coznplete set of working drawi:��s; the ones Presented were pre- iiminary one�. Mr< DaviB Nordale, 451 Wabasha Street, said tha� construction began on December 5, 19G8. There may ha�re bee�. miriflr revisions buC no ch8nges in charac�er, size, or shape of the buildfng wa�uld have o�curred. Mre White noted that on December 13, 1968, �he Cit� Cauncil pasaed � resolution S-0, wi�ich he read ta t�e Board. Upon the r�commienda�i.on of the City Architect, the Gouncil approved �he plan, subject to Grover Diamond, etc. The procedur� of the whole m.at��r was the concept of establishing one office in th� C�ty as ehe cooxdinating office for all; this included the City Plannimg Coc�nission. He feels it is deplorsble that it aever resched the Zoning Eoard. It l�as gone through the City Planning Cam�aission, and with its coimu�nts, went to tlae City Architect°s office, l�ack to the Ci.ty Counc.:t1, �nd at that poin� it was approved. It is his understanding tt�at the drawings shc►w th� same thfngs the staEf indicated �at �he Iast mee�ing or� this mattex. The drawings were actually availabie i� 1968. The building is there and the reca�nendations of the st$ff hava been made �n �:t�e campleCed stru�i:ure, the sta�f report was pr�sented on paper last time, and discussfon followed about parking in the rsmp. On the basis of this, the applicant asks tinat the Zoning Board considex the st�ff recamsnendations and take a ��ote on tihe metter. Mr. Amea c�.arified that his l�tter gtated they would review the matter and discuss it with a'�hex d�partmen�s. TY�e reco�nendation of the City Architect was that com�en�s hsd been received. Subseqneat to the resolution, the Buildin.g Department iasued a �Serinit. Mr. Brown noted thst he chec?ced the orig�.nal b�xildf�g construction permit, whicti natE'�3 in red ink that it w�e su.bject �o m Speci�i-Use �e�mit. ..15_ X TI� EIJAY PA2tTNERSHIP (6/4/70) (Continued): In regard to this agplication, Mr. McFartlin asked why the Board should maTee a recos�endation on someChing tha� is already built. Mr. Ames asid conditions could be attached to the vate. Mr. AScPartlin s�id exiCs, etc. ahould be looked over by the Zoning Board so that ramp� ar� not built with inadequate space. He feels it is high�time that the Zaning Board can giv� some sensible recammendations. He stated the buflding is finished; wiiy shoul.d �he Zoning Bosrd have to "�ool araund" reco�nending approval or denial? Mro Ma�.ett� commented that he feels it is an inadequste parking situation. The Flanning Bosrd msy hs�re appraved the project, however, the parking reco�end�tions were not �pproved. He nmted that the minimum requir�mex�ts should be met. Mr. William Orme, a�torney for the applicant, s�id the whole affsir started in August of I967. He said this is s unique buflding and the air rights mere forced �o be vacaeed. He noted he knew there would be a great deal of cs�c�rdination necessary ��ith the City departments, sach as Lighting, Streets, Tra�fic, Cit� Plaruning, etc. He n,oted thaC Dr. Heiden of the P�anning Board had som� aesthetic recou�endations about the air righCs. A4r. Ornae said there was a continuous contact between the applicant and hfm.self, ax�d �:hey were gett3.ng eired o£ running from department to depar�ment. They felt the va�cio�s departments mfght be contradictory to each oth�r. He �aid in the end the legal �eqairements were cooxdinated through the City Attarney's affice and Bill Donovan°s office. Ms. Gan�er said the Council ��as actin� as the approv�tng body going along with the City Architect's conditions. Mr. 1+icPartlin noted he feels �:he Zoning Board is bei.ng imposed upon to vote on th3s since it is a closed matter. He noted i� is a "waste of time"o In regard to the remp, Mr. Wte�t� noted that the pillara caanot be knocked out, but staff reco�eendations could possibly be folAowed. rir. Sorenson noted that ehe condi�ions sugges�ed by the staff were in li.ght of the first staff conclusion, that the f.acility hae already been built. Mr. McPartlin noted that 3f �he staff had had the plans prior Co canstruceion, they wuuldn't be lim��:ed to meking conditio�s on a building that cannot be cha�ged much. In regard to the parking lot permit, ��r. Mafetta asked if the Building Bepertment had issued one. �ir. Ames replied ehat Adrian Brown checked it and it was a condition of �he �csilding pex�nit that the Council Speci$I-Use Permit b� filed. -16- � . � - . , • � • -- THH ELJAY PARTIYLRSHIP (6/4/7�) (ConL-inued): Mr. Nordele safd the dispositfon of lanes as against snuare footage of cars could be altered without changing the building at all. The design allows for the minimum conditions of the staff. Mr, Maietta noted that the CounciZ should follc�w-up on the Special-Use Permit; rir. Ames suggested that the Board "wind this thing up"e It was noted that on April 9, ?970, the City C+onncil granted informal approval of this application. � Mr. McPartlin said since the building already exists sud has fonual approval from the Ciey Caunci2, he moved for "No Action" by the Board of Zoning oA this matter. The motion was seconded by Mr. ri�ietta. The motion carried with Messrs. l�,ansur and Ames vo�ing rn oppositfon, �ir, Ames said he voted against the motion because he woulci prefer to vote for a motion with conditions o£ the staff. and furtiher recommendations to iraprove the parkin�g facility if this were to receive a recammendation of approvel £rom the Zoning Board. rir. Mransur said he feel.s as P�x. A�s does, and that this is a s�.tuation thaL haa to be deal� with and staff recommendationa should be followed. A1r. Gauger noted �►e �oesn't fe�l the motter should be before this Boarci caith previous Gouneil scCion talcen.
