Sincerely, �� Kenneth Ford Planning Administrator Attachments cc: City Council members �t�-`t�°� city of saint paul planning commission resolution #iie number 99-54 �te August 27, 1999 WHEREAS, the SAINT PAUL BRASS AND ALUMINUM FOUNDRY, file #99-194, has petitioned to rezone a 100' by 293.91' parcel of property directly south of 954 and 976 Wesf Minnehaha Avenue, situated between Chatsworth and the Wilder Foundation campus, from RM-2 to I-1 to provide for employee parking and truck access to the rear of the existing St. Paul Brass buiiding; and WHEREAS, the Zoning Commiftee of the Planning Commission, on August 19, 1999, held a public hearing af which all persons presenf were given an apportunity to be heard pursuant to said application in accordance with the requirements of Section 64.400 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code; and WtiEREAS, the Saint Paui Planning Commission, based on the evfdence presented to its Zoning Committee at the public hearing, as substantially reHected in the minutes, made the folfowing findings of fact: The Saint Pau; Srass and Aluminum Foundry has operated at 954 West Minnehaha since 1869 and is, therefore, a legaily nonconforming i-2 use in an 1-1 districf. The most efficient access for bringing raw materials to the foundry has besn to tfie rear of the buifding a�ross a driveway and parking lot owned by the Leaflet Missal Company, the neighboring property to the west. The Leaffet Missal Company has now withdrawn its permission for the Foundry to use its property for access. The applicant has reached an agreement to purchase a 100 ft. x 294 ft. piece of properfy along the south side of their current property from the Wilder Square Co-op. They have app{ied for a lot split and have submitted a site p{an for a new driveway and a parking srea for 43 cars, both of which are permitted accessory uses. Both appfications have received favorabfe reviews, pending the rezoning. The appfication for rezoning is submitted jointfy by the Saint Paul Brass and Aluminum Foundry (Peter Ryan) and the Wiider Square Co-op (Morris Manning). ' moved by Field secor�ded by in favor Consent against Zoning File #99-i 94 Page Two of Resolution 2. The property proposed to be rezoned is contiguous to property to the north curcenfly zoned I-1 (the exisfing St. Paul Brass and Afuminum Foundry and the Leaflet Missal Company" properties). The industria! property is long-estabiished and is on the corner of the b(ock : across Minnehaha from the Minnehaha Mall, a two block commercial area, zoned B-2. The rezoning would eniarge the industria( portion of the biock, buf would not change the existing land use pattern of the area. To the easT of the site is the Wilder Foundation campus, zoned RM-2; to the south is the Wi(der Square Co-op, a medium density residentiai area, also zoned RM-2. To the west is a low to mid-density residential area, zoned RM-2 and it-4. 3. A site plan submitted for the construction of the driveway and parking indicafes fhe replacement of a berm on the south boundary, heavy landscaping on the east and south edges screening the industriai building as weil as tfie drive and parking area, instailation of a fence to buffer the traffic from the Wilde� Square Co-op property, and replacement of a fialf-court basketbal( court for off-hours use by Wilder Square residents. The site plan has been reviewed and approved, contingent upon the rezoning. 4. The impact on those that live or work in the surrounding area is expected, on bafance, fo be positive. The amount of truck traffic is not expected to increase from the current fewer than one truck a week. Instead of on a makeshift grave( drive, the tr�cks will frave( on a paved and heavily landscaped driveway. Employees, instead of parking on surtounding residential streets, will park on the improved parking tof on the site. The entrance to the site that will be moved 80 feef to the south will not pose any trafric hazard or any significantly different impact on surrounding residents. • 5. The rezoning would be consistent with the comprehensive plan that calls for the careful and sensitive integration of uses in neighborhoods. (Land Use Plan, 5.0J In this eight biock area are a major commercial/retaii sife, foundation ofrices and a range of housing typ2s as we!! as two significant industrial empiayers. The at'tention to sife design and iandscaping improves fhe integration of the uses and provides for fhe confinued operation of an historic neighborhood-based Saint Paul business. 6. The applicants have submitfed a pefifion witf� signztures of the owners of 12 of the 18 eligible signatures, meeting the required standard of 67 percent of the property owners within 100 feet of fhe property to be rezoned. � NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Planning Commission that the petition of the SAINT PAU� BRASS AND ALUMINUM FOUNDRY to rezone properfy direcfly fo the south of 954 and 976 West Minnehaha Avenue, more partict�larly described in the file, from a RM-2 zoning ciassificzfion to an f-1 zoning cfassi�ication is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the City; and BE IT FURTNEr2 RESOLVED, that the Saint Paul Plannirta Commissron daes hereby recommend to the Council o� th2 City oi Saint Paul inai prop2rty located directly to the south of 954 and 97o W�st Minnehaha Avenue b= rezoned rrom RM-2 to I-1 in accordance wifh ffie pztition for rezoning on iile with fhe Saint Paul Planning Diti�ision. � The minutes of the August 27,1999 Planning Commission meeting were not available at the time this packet was prepared.

Our community council reviewed this matter in depth on Monday, May 10 at our Physlcal Plannlflg Committee.

W� want to note that whlie we had recefved a few caiis from nearby neighbors of this business who were opposed to this rezonin8 change and lhe resuitant loss of presn space from this now open iot and fleld, our district council telt that this request made sense tor the overall Thomas Dafe community.

With the stab�lity that thls expansion wdl give them ws fiope to be abie to share our community with ttfem for yet another t3o yearsi Another primary reason ior our support was the fact that this whole Issue would not have reaChed this point unlese the several hom�, ownera that make up the Wilder Square Coop and their board hatl not given thelr approval for the saia of thle property end the necaesary zoning change to St. Paul Braem.

Although I aat a resi.dent of Cali£ornia, I was born and raised in 3aint Paul, and am £amiliar with the area under consideration. I note that the purpose of the request is rezoning from RM-2 to I-I °to provide for employee parking and truck access to the rear of the existing St. Paul Brass building.° However, once the property is rezonefl to I-1, ANY permitted use is allowed.

Paul M�. The location o£ this building is within 350 feet of the St. Paul Brass Foundry. We are writing to strongly voice our opposition to the proposed re- zoning of the property that the Foundry currently occupies from RM-2 to I-1. In re-zoning this property it is our understanding that industrial traffic £rom trucks and general tra£fic from employees will be greatly increased in this area. This is unacceptable to us because our building is located in a residential area populated by both adults and children. We are concerned about pedestrian safety, increased noise levels and increased pollution. Even now, the odors are so strong that it is unbearable to be outside at times. Besides being concerned for our residents and their peace and safety we are also concerned about the environmental issues that will arise due to this re-zoning. In conclusion, we therefore respectfully request that you do not approve the request contained in Zoning Fi1e Number 99-194. Thank you £or your time and cooperation regarding this matter.

The Saint Paui Brass and Aluminum Foundry has operated at 954 West Minnehaha since 1869 and is, therefore, a legally nonconforming I-2 use in an I-1 district. The most efficient access for bringing raw mafierials to the foundry has been to the rear of fhe building across a driveway and parking lot owned by tke Leaflet Missal Company, the neighboring property to the west, The Leaflet Missal Company has now withdrawn its pernussion for the Foundry to use its property for access. The applicant has reached an a�eement to purchase a 100 $. x 294 8. piece of property along the south side of their current property from the Wilder Square Co-op. They have applied for a lot split and have submitted a site plan for a new driveway and a parking area for 43 cazs, both of which are permitted accessory uses. Both applications have received favorable reviews, pending the rezoning. The application for rezoning is submitted jointly by the Saint Paul Brass Foundry (Peter Ryan) and the Wilder Squaze Co-op {Morris Manning). 2. The property proposed to be rezoned is contiguous to properry to the north currently zoned I-i (the exisring St. Paui Brass and Aluuiinum Foundry and the Leaflet Missal Company properties). The industrial property is long-estabiished, is on the comer of the block across Minnehaha from the Minnehaha Mall, a two biock commercial azea, zoned B-2. The rezoning would enlar�e the industrial portion of the block, but would not change the existing land use pattem of the area. To the east of the site is the Wilder Foundation campus, zoned RM-2; to the south is the Wilder Square Co-op, a medium density residenfial area, also zoned RM-2. To the west is a low to mid-density residential azea, zoned RM-2 and R-4. °I.� --`�� Zoning File #99-194 Page three 3. A site plan submitted for the construction of the driveway and pazking indicates the replacement of a berm on the south boundary, heavy landscaping on the east and south edges screening the industrial building as well as the drive and parking area, installation of a fence to buffer the traffic from the Wilder Square Co-op properiy, and replacement of a half-court basketball court for off-hours use by Wiider Squaze residents. The site p1an has been reviewed and approved, contingent upon the rezoning. 4. The impact on those that live or work in the surrounding azea is expected, on balance, to be positive. The amount of truck traffic is not expected to increase from the current fewer than one a week.. Instead of on a makeshift grauel dzive, the hucks will travel on a paved and heavily landscaped driveway. Bmployees, instead of parking on surrounding residential streets, will park on the improved parking lot on the site. The entrance to the site that will be moved 80 feet to the south will not pose any traffic hazard or any significantly different impact on surrounding residents. The rezoning would be consistent with the comprehensive plan that calls for the careful and sensitive integration of uses in neighborhoods. (Land Use Plan, S.0) In tlus eight block azea are a major commerciaUretail site, foundation offices and a range of housing types as well as two significant industrial employers. The attention to site design and landscaping improves the integration of the uses and provides for the continued operation of an lustoric neighborhood-based Saint Paul business. 6. The applicants have submitted a petition with signatures of the owners of 12 of the 18 eligible signatures, meeting the required standazd of 67 percent of the property owners within 100 feet of the property to be rezoned.. I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on findin�s 1 through 6, staff recommends approval of the rezoning peYition.

The parce( under consideration for rezoning is adjacent to the existing foundry sife and has frontage on Chatsworth. We are requesting the foitowing approvals, which would allow for fhis exisEing, viab(e business to fit in better with the surrounding uses: i1 2. � A lot split for the Wilder Square, tnc. property located immediately south of St. Pauf Brass & Aluminum Foundry's site that will aliow for the northern 100 feet to be divided from fheir overali property. Rezoning of the 100 foot newly created parcei from RM-2 (Multiple Family F2esidential) to f-1 (Industrial). Site plan approvai for a 43 space employee parking lot located on the existing St. Paul Brass property and the newly created parcel. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The purpose for this proposed site expansion of St. Paui Brass and Aluminum is to provide for employee parking and truck access to the rear of the existing building. The attached concept site layout provides a tasteful, e�cient proposai that blends weli with the existing land-use intensity of the neighborhood, promotes safe and orderly traffic flow, and creates a handsome parking area with proper site orientation and extensive landscaping, while preserving the existing significant slope {with trees) to the east Careful consideration was taken in the arraignment and placement of the proposed uses on the site expansion. Currently along the Southern property line, the existing fopography rises from the St. Paul Brass site, creating an earthen berm ihat screens their existing industrial site from the existing multi-family site located further to the south. The placement of Yhe proposed parking utilizes the remaining open space on the new parcei for placement of a new earthen berm, emuiating the existing pattern between the two parcels. SUBMtTTAL PACKAGE: Attached with this narrative are four plan sheets that identify the existing and proposed zoning, the existing conditions and the conceptual site layout. Pians for the site pian review and approvai will be submiffed at a tater date.

REZONING REQUEST: The St. Paui City Zoning Code states in Section 64.400 (a) that " the council may, from time to time, amend, supplement or change the district boundaries or the regulations herein, or subsequently estabiish herein pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section 462.357 and amendments thereto as may be made from time to time. 7he pfanning commission may, from time to time, review district boundary lines to determine if, pursuant to state laws, such disVict boundary lines shouid be changed." Section 64.400 (b} states in part that "an amendment tn the zoning code may be initiated by the council, the pianning commission or by petiYion of sixty-seven (67) percent of the area of the property to be rezon2d" A iist of the adjacent property owners was received from the City of St. Paut, as requested. The attached petition includes a number of signatures that meets and/or exceeds the minimum Code requirements from adjacent property owners in the neighborhood who are in support of the rezoning request. Genera!ly, four primary issues are addressed when the City ofi St. Paui evaivates a rezoning request. These issues are: Compatibility with land use and zoning ciassification of property within the generai area. 2. 3. Suitability of the property for the use permitted under the existing zoning classification. The trend of development in the area of the property in question. 4. Consistency w+th the Comprehensive plan and the District plan. The proposed findings that address these concerns ase as 4ollows: Wiider Square, Inc. is the current owner of the subject property for rezoning and has presented a purchzse agreement to St. Paul Brass and Afuminum Foundry (SPSA) for SPBA's purchase of that property. The rezoning is necessary to allow the change in use of the prnperty. SPBA's plans are to construct an employee parking loi and service vehicie access. The subject property is currently open space with an underutilized basketbail court on it. 2. The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Pian. The District 7 Plan recommends the current mix of business, industrial and residentiai for this general area. The Economic Development Strategy chapter recommends that the Gity provide adequate land for industrial and commercial development and expansion (empfiasis addedj in order to increzse the proportion of commercial/industrial tax base (Policy 25, page 17j. The subject property is currently �O The McSherry Group, Inc. Rezoning Submittal fo� April 26, 1999 Page 2 ST. PAUL BRASS & ALUMINUM FOUNDRY underutilized open space and if devetoped for SPBA, essentiaily as parking, wouid alieviate a lack of parking and accessibitity issues wifh adjacent properties, generate property tax revenue as well as serve the adjacent business. 3. The rezoning is consistent and compatibie with the way the area has been developed over fime. The subject property is adjacent to Industrial on its North and it is very unlikely that the propeRy would be developed for residenYia! use. . ' 4. The rezoning will not have an adverse impact on the adjacent property. The proposed use is compatibie with the existing business and industriai prope+iies to the North and the West. The residential land uses to the East and South should not be adversely impacted due to the existing natural topography of the site, which is being preserved to the East and emufated with a natura! earth berm (and landscape) for the reconstructed edge to the South. 5. SPBA has submitted a sufficient petition of to-thirds of the property owners within one hundred (100) feet of the property stating support for the rezoning (18 parce(s eligib(e, 12 required, 12 signed). 7he proposed use is consistent with the City's Guide Plan, is a well designed environment that is complete and is feasible by itself, and helps to preserve a significant portion of the natural environment on the East end of the site. DEVELOPMENTSTANDARDS: The proposed expansion of the existing St. Paul Brass and Alumin�m Foundry property is generally designed to meet or exceed the Industriai (I-1) Zoning DistricPs minimum standards. The building size, setbacks, parking ratio, and landscaping for the proposed development fall within fhe regulations outlined in the I-1 section of the City ordinances with the exception of the building setback to the East property line. This setback should be 34.5 feet (9 '/: times the building height) because the adjacent property is residential. However, at the Yime St. Paul Brass and Aluminum Foundry was constructed, it was in conformance with City Codes, which makes it legally non-conforming. Site Desiqn: Many other factors were considered in creating an aestheticaily pleasing employee parking !ot and truck access area that would properly support the existing deve(opment. The land ptanning intent was to save as many trees as possible on the East end of the site, especially in tfie sioping area. In addition, the design intent was to emulate the existing earth berm/landscape edge condition along the southern property line. Physical development of the empioyee parking lot begins 2pproximately 30 feef M1torth of the new SouYh property line. Initialiy, the thought was to construct only 36 ot the 43 required spaces. It is anticipated, over time, that fhe additional 7 spaces wili need to be eventually constructed. AfYer reviewing a cost-benefit analysis for the construction timi�g, it was determined that the entire parking loi v✓iA need Yo be constructed. Anotfier goal was to minimize the excavation and soifs that need to be removed from the siYe. This is why earth berming is proposed along the South property tine, which will also emulate the existing edge condition. In addition, this also provides an opportunity to provide landscapirtg, which wiii enhance the curb appeal of this secondary use of the property. From a service perspective, the proposed truck and service access to the existing building has been sited to allow for appropriate emergency vehicle and truck turning radii for the ioading dock and service faclities. � The McSherry Group, Inc. Rezoning Submittat for ----- April 26, '1999 Page 3 ST. PAUL BRASS & ALUMINUM FOUNDRY �l.�t, —�co� V EHI CU LAR .Cf ftCU LATI013: A logicai vehicular circuiation pattern has been created for the proposed site deve{opment, which allows employee and service vehicle traffic to enter and exit the site efficiently, and cleariy defines the main drive aisie from the parking bays. The drive aisie width and parking stalls have been designed to exceed the City of St. Aauf's parking standards. The proposed docklservice area on the south side of the existing building has been positioned to maximize tSie tuming radii available for delivery and service vehicies. UTILITIES/GRADING: Water Main No building addition is currentiy proposed for the current building, therefore, no modifications are proposed to the existing water mai� currently serving the structure. Sanitarv Sewer: An existing sanitary sewer connection from Minnehaha Avenue currentiy serves the existing buitding. No additional sanitary sewer service is proposed. Storm Sewer: The storm water management for this development has been completed in accordance with the requirements of the City of St. Paul Public Works Department and the physical limitations of the property. Storm water drainage will be collected ai a low area in the parking iot (with a limited depth). Stormwater from the low area will discharge into the proposed storm sewer system and be carried to the existing 66" RCP storm sewer pipe located 16 feet under Chatsworth Street. The on-site detention basin, when combined with a restricted outlet, will have the ability to minimize the impact of the 100-year storm event on the downstream system. Gradina: The site wili be re-graded to maintain the character of the existing topography. Erosion control will be provided including silt fence, hay bales at catch basins, and rock construction entrance. Public street sweeping will be done at least once a week, once a day if needed. It is proposed that all of the parking lot and service drive areas will have a bituminous surtace with B612 concrete curb and gutter throughout. PROPOSED SiTE DATA: O The McSherry Group, inc.

ST. PAUL BRAS'S I am happy to support you in your effort to rezone. The signed petition is enclosed. St. Paul Brass has long been a respected establishment in the neighborhood and I am familiar with your operaTion. As a child, I grew up on Van Buren near Chatsworth in the 50's. We often played in what was then a vacant lot behind the foundry, long before the �Vilder Foundation bought the property. When we found unbroken sand cores discazded from the foundry, they became our "treasures" and we would take them home and try to preserve them in their unbroken state for as long as possible. My parents built Minnehaha Liquors in 1964 and operated it for twenty yeazs. They knew your company's mana�ement and thought highly of your business. Much of their success in business was due to patronization from your employees at the time. Piease do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance in this matter. Good luck. Sincerely yours, Jo Abraham .. . .

The most efficient access for bringing raw materials to the foundry has besn to tfie rear of the buifding a�ross a driveway and parking lot owned by the Leaflet Missal Company, the neighboring property to the west. The Leaffet Missal Company has now withdrawn its permission for the Foundry to use its property for access. The applicant has reached an agreement to purchase a 100 ft. x 294 ft. piece of properfy along the south side of their current property from the Wilder Square Co-op. They have app{ied for a lot split and have submitted a site p{an for a new driveway and a parking srea for 43 cars, both of which are permitted accessory uses. Both appfications have received favorabfe reviews, pending the rezoning. The appfication for rezoning is submitted jointfy by the Saint Paul Brass and Aluminum Foundry (Peter Ryan) and the Wiider Square Co-op (Morris Manning). ' moved by Field secor�ded by in favor Consent against Zoning File #99-i 94 Page Two of Resolution 2. The property proposed to be rezoned is contiguous to property to the north curcenfly zoned I-1 (the exisfing St. Paul Brass and Afuminum Foundry and the Leaflet Missal Company" properties). The industria! property is long-estabiished and is on the corner of the b(ock : across Minnehaha from the Minnehaha Mall, a two block commercial area, zoned B-2. The rezoning would eniarge the industria( portion of the biock, buf would not change the existing land use pattern of the area. To the easT of the site is the Wilder Foundation campus, zoned RM-2; to the south is the Wi(der Square Co-op, a medium density residentiai area, also zoned RM-2. To the west is a low to mid-density residential area, zoned RM-2 and it-4. 3. A site plan submitted for the construction of the driveway and parking indicafes fhe replacement of a berm on the south boundary, heavy landscaping on the east and south edges screening the industriai building as weil as tfie drive and parking area, instailation of a fence to buffer the traffic from the Wilde� Square Co-op property, and replacement of a fialf-court basketbal( court for off-hours use by Wilder Square residents. The site plan has been reviewed and approved, contingent upon the rezoning. 4. The impact on those that live or work in the surrounding area is expected, on bafance, fo be positive. The amount of truck traffic is not expected to increase from the current fewer than one truck a week. Instead of on a makeshift grave( drive, the tr�cks will frave( on a paved and heavily landscaped driveway. Employees, instead of parking on surtounding residential streets, will park on the improved parking tof on the site. The entrance to the site that will be moved 80 feef to the south will not pose any trafric hazard or any significantly different impact on surrounding residents. • 5. The rezoning would be consistent with the comprehensive plan that calls for the careful and sensitive integration of uses in neighborhoods. (Land Use Plan, 5.0J In this eight biock area are a major commercial/retaii sife, foundation ofrices and a range of housing typ2s as we!! as two significant industrial empiayers. The at'tention to sife design and iandscaping improves fhe integration of the uses and provides for fhe confinued operation of an historic neighborhood-based Saint Paul business. 6. The applicants have submitfed a pefifion witf� signztures of the owners of 12 of the 18 eligible signatures, meeting the required standard of 67 percent of the property owners within 100 feet of fhe property to be rezoned. � NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Planning Commission that the petition of the SAINT PAU� BRASS AND ALUMINUM FOUNDRY to rezone properfy direcfly fo the south of 954 and 976 West Minnehaha Avenue, more partict�larly described in the file, from a RM-2 zoning ciassificzfion to an f-1 zoning cfassi�ication is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the City; and BE IT FURTNEr2 RESOLVED, that the Saint Paul Plannirta Commissron daes hereby recommend to the Council o� th2 City oi Saint Paul inai prop2rty located directly to the south of 954 and 97o W�st Minnehaha Avenue b= rezoned rrom RM-2 to I-1 in accordance wifh ffie pztition for rezoning on iile with fhe Saint Paul Planning Diti�ision. � The minutes of the August 27,1999 Planning Commission meeting were not available at the time this packet was prepared.

Our community council reviewed this matter in depth on Monday, May 10 at our Physlcal Plannlflg Committee. At that meeting we heard from represe�tacives from the St. Paul 9rass Foundry regarding this building expansion and parking lot project and ths nscessary zon{�g change request they must firat have approved i� ordvr to make ii happen.

W� want to note that whlie we had recefved a few caiis from nearby neighbors of this business who were opposed to this rezonin8 change and lhe resuitant loss of presn space from this now open iot and fleld, our district council telt that this request made sense tor the overall Thomas Dafe community. While we share the concerns they have voiced regarding the foss of psesn space from iha area, we felt it was aquelly important to support the expaneion and retentio� ot a business that has operated at this same location tor over 130 years, that empioys over 40 employees and one that has a clean operating history wiih tocai poiiution control otticlals. We are pieased that St. Paul Brase hae pledged to replace the basketball caurt that will be removed as a result of this expanslon and will work to make sura that this expanslon !s not harm(ul to thelr surrounding neighbors. With the stab�lity that thls expansion wdl give them ws fiope to be abie to share our community with ttfem for yet another t3o yearsi Another primary reason ior our support was the fact that this whole Issue would not have reaChed this point unlese the several hom�, ownera that make up the Wilder Square Coop and their board hatl not given thelr approval for the saia of thle property end the necaesary zoning change to St. Paul Braem.

I note that the purpose of the request is rezoning from RM-2 to I-I °to provide for employee parking and truck access to the rear of the existing St. Paul Brass building.° However, once the property is rezonefl to I-1, ANY permitted use is allowed.

Paul M�. The location o£ this building is within 350 feet of the St. Paul Brass Foundry. We are writing to strongly voice our opposition to the proposed re- zoning of the property that the Foundry currently occupies from RM-2 to I-1. In re-zoning this property it is our understanding that industrial traffic £rom trucks and general tra£fic from employees will be greatly increased in this area. This is unacceptable to us because our building is located in a residential area populated by both adults and children. We are concerned about pedestrian safety, increased noise levels and increased pollution. Even now, the odors are so strong that it is unbearable to be outside at times. Besides being concerned for our residents and their peace and safety we are also concerned about the environmental issues that will arise due to this re-zoning. In conclusion, we therefore respectfully request that you do not approve the request contained in Zoning Fi1e Number 99-194. Thank you £or your time and cooperation regarding this matter.

F. HISTORY/DISCUSSION: Previous zoning cases involved residenfial facilities located on the Wilder campus, south of the site under discassion in this case. G. DISTRICT COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: The District Seven Plamiing Council recommends approval. I�� I�IRC!'ls� 1. The Saint Paui Brass and Aluminum Foundry has operated at 954 West Minnehaha since 1869 and is, therefore, a legally nonconforming I-2 use in an I-1 district. The most efficient access for bringing raw mafierials to the foundry has been to the rear of fhe building across a driveway and parking lot owned by tke Leaflet Missal Company, the neighboring property to the west, The Leaflet Missal Company has now withdrawn its pernussion for the Foundry to use its property for access. The applicant has reached an a�eement to purchase a 100 $. x 294 8. piece of property along the south side of their current property from the Wilder Square Co-op. They have applied for a lot split and have submitted a site plan for a new driveway and a parking area for 43 cazs, both of which are permitted accessory uses. Both applications have received favorable reviews, pending the rezoning. The application for rezoning is submitted jointly by the Saint Paul Brass Foundry (Peter Ryan) and the Wilder Squaze Co-op {Morris Manning). 2. The property proposed to be rezoned is contiguous to properry to the north currently zoned I-i (the exisring St. Paui Brass and Aluuiinum Foundry and the Leaflet Missal Company properties). The industrial property is long-estabiished, is on the comer of the block across Minnehaha from the Minnehaha Mall, a two biock commercial azea, zoned B-2. The rezoning would enlar�e the industrial portion of the block, but would not change the existing land use pattem of the area. To the east of the site is the Wilder Foundation campus, zoned RM-2; to the south is the Wilder Square Co-op, a medium density residenfial area, also zoned RM-2. To the west is a low to mid-density residential azea, zoned RM-2 and R-4. °I.� --`�� Zoning File #99-194 Page three 3. A site plan submitted for the construction of the driveway and pazking indicates the replacement of a berm on the south boundary, heavy landscaping on the east and south edges screening the industrial building as well as the drive and parking area, installation of a fence to buffer the traffic from the Wilder Square Co-op properiy, and replacement of a half-court basketball court for off-hours use by Wiider Squaze residents. The site p1an has been reviewed and approved, contingent upon the rezoning. 4. The impact on those that live or work in the surrounding azea is expected, on balance, to be positive. The amount of truck traffic is not expected to increase from the current fewer than one a week.. Instead of on a makeshift grauel dzive, the hucks will travel on a paved and heavily landscaped driveway. Bmployees, instead of parking on surrounding residential streets, will park on the improved parking lot on the site. The entrance to the site that will be moved 80 feet to the south will not pose any traffic hazard or any significantly different impact on surrounding residents. The rezoning would be consistent with the comprehensive plan that calls for the careful and sensitive integration of uses in neighborhoods. (Land Use Plan, S.0) In tlus eight block azea are a major commerciaUretail site, foundation offices and a range of housing types as well as two significant industrial employers. The attention to site design and landscaping improves the integration of the uses and provides for the continued operation of an lustoric neighborhood-based Saint Paul business. 6. The applicants have submitted a petition with signatures of the owners of 12 of the 18 eligible signatures, meeting the required standazd of 67 percent of the property owners within 100 feet of the property to be rezoned.. I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on findin�s 1 through 6, staff recommends approval of the rezoning peYition.

The attached concept site layout provides a tasteful, e�cient proposai that blends weli with the existing land-use intensity of the neighborhood, promotes safe and orderly traffic flow, and creates a handsome parking area with proper site orientation and extensive landscaping, while preserving the existing significant slope {with trees) to the east Careful consideration was taken in the arraignment and placement of the proposed uses on the site expansion. Currently along the Southern property line, the existing fopography rises from the St. Paul Brass site, creating an earthen berm ihat screens their existing industrial site from the existing multi-family site located further to the south. The placement of Yhe proposed parking utilizes the remaining open space on the new parcei for placement of a new earthen berm, emuiating the existing pattern between the two parcels. SUBMtTTAL PACKAGE: Attached with this narrative are four plan sheets that identify the existing and proposed zoning, the existing conditions and the conceptual site layout. Pians for the site pian review and approvai will be submiffed at a tater date. The attached sheets are: Sheet CM1 - Sheet CM2 - Existing Zoning Proposed Zoning Sheet C'! - Existing Conditlons and Removals Plan O The McSherry Group, lnc.

REZONING REQUEST: The St. Paui City Zoning Code states in Section 64.400 (a) that " the council may, from time to time, amend, supplement or change the district boundaries or the regulations herein, or subsequently estabiish herein pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section 462.357 and amendments thereto as may be made from time to time. 7he pfanning commission may, from time to time, review district boundary lines to determine if, pursuant to state laws, such disVict boundary lines shouid be changed." Section 64.400 (b} states in part that "an amendment tn the zoning code may be initiated by the council, the pianning commission or by petiYion of sixty-seven (67) percent of the area of the property to be rezon2d" A iist of the adjacent property owners was received from the City of St. Paut, as requested. The attached petition includes a number of signatures that meets and/or exceeds the minimum Code requirements from adjacent property owners in the neighborhood who are in support of the rezoning request. Genera!ly, four primary issues are addressed when the City ofi St. Paui evaivates a rezoning request. These issues are: Compatibility with land use and zoning ciassification of property within the generai area. 2. 3. Suitability of the property for the use permitted under the existing zoning classification. The trend of development in the area of the property in question. 4. Consistency w+th the Comprehensive plan and the District plan. The proposed findings that address these concerns ase as 4ollows: Wiider Square, Inc. is the current owner of the subject property for rezoning and has presented a purchzse agreement to St. Paul Brass and Afuminum Foundry (SPSA) for SPBA's purchase of that property. The rezoning is necessary to allow the change in use of the prnperty. SPBA's plans are to construct an employee parking loi and service vehicie access. The subject property is currently open space with an underutilized basketbail court on it. 2. The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Pian. The District 7 Plan recommends the current mix of business, industrial and residentiai for this general area. The Economic Development Strategy chapter recommends that the Gity provide adequate land for industrial and commercial development and expansion (empfiasis addedj in order to increzse the proportion of commercial/industrial tax base (Policy 25, page 17j. The subject property is currently �O The McSherry Group, Inc. Rezoning Submittal fo� April 26, 1999 Page 2 ST. PAUL BRASS & ALUMINUM FOUNDRY underutilized open space and if devetoped for SPBA, essentiaily as parking, wouid alieviate a lack of parking and accessibitity issues wifh adjacent properties, generate property tax revenue as well as serve the adjacent business. 3. The rezoning is consistent and compatibie with the way the area has been developed over fime. The subject property is adjacent to Industrial on its North and it is very unlikely that the propeRy would be developed for residenYia! use. . ' 4. The rezoning will not have an adverse impact on the adjacent property. The proposed use is compatibie with the existing business and industriai prope+iies to the North and the West. The residential land uses to the East and South should not be adversely impacted due to the existing natural topography of the site, which is being preserved to the East and emufated with a natura! earth berm (and landscape) for the reconstructed edge to the South. 5. SPBA has submitted a sufficient petition of to-thirds of the property owners within one hundred (100) feet of the property stating support for the rezoning (18 parce(s eligib(e, 12 required, 12 signed). 7he proposed use is consistent with the City's Guide Plan, is a well designed environment that is complete and is feasible by itself, and helps to preserve a significant portion of the natural environment on the East end of the site. DEVELOPMENTSTANDARDS: The proposed expansion of the existing St. Paul Brass and Alumin�m Foundry property is generally designed to meet or exceed the Industriai (I-1) Zoning DistricPs minimum standards. The building size, setbacks, parking ratio, and landscaping for the proposed development fall within fhe regulations outlined in the I-1 section of the City ordinances with the exception of the building setback to the East property line. This setback should be 34.5 feet (9 '/: times the building height) because the adjacent property is residential. However, at the Yime St. Paul Brass and Aluminum Foundry was constructed, it was in conformance with City Codes, which makes it legally non-conforming. Site Desiqn: Many other factors were considered in creating an aestheticaily pleasing employee parking !ot and truck access area that would properly support the existing deve(opment. The land ptanning intent was to save as many trees as possible on the East end of the site, especially in tfie sioping area. In addition, the design intent was to emulate the existing earth berm/landscape edge condition along the southern property line. Physical development of the empioyee parking lot begins 2pproximately 30 feef M1torth of the new SouYh property line. Initialiy, the thought was to construct only 36 ot the 43 required spaces. It is anticipated, over time, that fhe additional 7 spaces wili need to be eventually constructed. AfYer reviewing a cost-benefit analysis for the construction timi�g, it was determined that the entire parking loi v✓iA need Yo be constructed. Anotfier goal was to minimize the excavation and soifs that need to be removed from the siYe. This is why earth berming is proposed along the South property tine, which will also emulate the existing edge condition. In addition, this also provides an opportunity to provide landscapirtg, which wiii enhance the curb appeal of this secondary use of the property. From a service perspective, the proposed truck and service access to the existing building has been sited to allow for appropriate emergency vehicle and truck turning radii for the ioading dock and service faclities. � The McSherry Group, Inc. Rezoning Submittat for ----- April 26, '1999 Page 3 ST. PAUL BRASS & ALUMINUM FOUNDRY �l.�t, —�co� V EHI CU LAR .Cf ftCU LATI013: A logicai vehicular circuiation pattern has been created for the proposed site deve{opment, which allows employee and service vehicle traffic to enter and exit the site efficiently, and cleariy defines the main drive aisie from the parking bays. The drive aisie width and parking stalls have been designed to exceed the City of St. Aauf's parking standards. The proposed docklservice area on the south side of the existing building has been positioned to maximize tSie tuming radii available for delivery and service vehicies. UTILITIES/GRADING: Water Main No building addition is currentiy proposed for the current building, therefore, no modifications are proposed to the existing water mai� currently serving the structure. Sanitarv Sewer: An existing sanitary sewer connection from Minnehaha Avenue currentiy serves the existing buitding. No additional sanitary sewer service is proposed. Storm Sewer: The storm water management for this development has been completed in accordance with the requirements of the City of St. Paul Public Works Department and the physical limitations of the property. Storm water drainage will be collected ai a low area in the parking iot (with a limited depth). Stormwater from the low area will discharge into the proposed storm sewer system and be carried to the existing 66" RCP storm sewer pipe located 16 feet under Chatsworth Street. The on-site detention basin, when combined with a restricted outlet, will have the ability to minimize the impact of the 100-year storm event on the downstream system. Gradina: The site wili be re-graded to maintain the character of the existing topography. Erosion control will be provided including silt fence, hay bales at catch basins, and rock construction entrance. Public street sweeping will be done at least once a week, once a day if needed. It is proposed that all of the parking lot and service drive areas will have a bituminous surtace with B612 concrete curb and gutter throughout. PROPOSED SiTE DATA: O The McSherry Group, inc.

ST. PAUL BRAS'S I am happy to support you in your effort to rezone. The signed petition is enclosed. St. Paul Brass has long been a respected establishment in the neighborhood and I am familiar with your operaTion. As a child, I grew up on Van Buren near Chatsworth in the 50's. We often played in what was then a vacant lot behind the foundry, long before the �Vilder Foundation bought the property. When we found unbroken sand cores discazded from the foundry, they became our "treasures" and we would take them home and try to preserve them in their unbroken state for as long as possible. My parents built Minnehaha Liquors in 1964 and operated it for twenty yeazs. They knew your company's mana�ement and thought highly of your business. Much of their success in business was due to patronization from your employees at the time. Piease do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance in this matter. Good luck. Sincerely yours, Jo Abraham .. . .

Sincerely, �� Kenneth Ford Planning Administrator Attachments cc: City Council members �t�-`t�°� city of saint paul planning commission resolution #iie number 99-54 �te August 27, 1999 WHEREAS, the SAINT PAUL BRASS AND ALUMINUM FOUNDRY, file #99-194, has petitioned to rezone a 100' by 293.91' parcel of property directly south of 954 and 976 Wesf Minnehaha Avenue, situated between Chatsworth and the Wilder Foundation campus, from RM-2 to I-1 to provide for employee parking and truck access to the rear of the existing St. Paul Brass buiiding; and WHEREAS, the Zoning Commiftee of the Planning Commission, on August 19, 1999, held a public hearing af which all persons presenf were given an apportunity to be heard pursuant to said application in accordance with the requirements of Section 64.400 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code; and WtiEREAS, the Saint Paui Planning Commission, based on the evfdence presented to its Zoning Committee at the public hearing, as substantially reHected in the minutes, made the folfowing findings of fact: The Saint Pau; Srass and Aluminum Foundry has operated at 954 West Minnehaha since 1869 and is, therefore, a legaily nonconforming i-2 use in an 1-1 districf. The most efficient access for bringing raw materials to the foundry has besn to tfie rear of the buifding a�ross a driveway and parking lot owned by the Leaflet Missal Company, the neighboring property to the west. The Leaffet Missal Company has now withdrawn its permission for the Foundry to use its property for access. The applicant has reached an agreement to purchase a 100 ft. x 294 ft. piece of properfy along the south side of their current property from the Wilder Square Co-op. They have app{ied for a lot split and have submitted a site p{an for a new driveway and a parking srea for 43 cars, both of which are permitted accessory uses. Both appfications have received favorabfe reviews, pending the rezoning. The appfication for rezoning is submitted jointfy by the Saint Paul Brass and Aluminum Foundry (Peter Ryan) and the Wiider Square Co-op (Morris Manning). ' moved by Field secor�ded by in favor Consent against Zoning File #99-i 94 Page Two of Resolution 2. The property proposed to be rezoned is contiguous to property to the north curcenfly zoned I-1 (the exisfing St. Paul Brass and Afuminum Foundry and the Leaflet Missal Company" properties). The industria! property is long-estabiished and is on the corner of the b(ock : across Minnehaha from the Minnehaha Mall, a two block commercial area, zoned B-2. The rezoning would eniarge the industria( portion of the biock, buf would not change the existing land use pattern of the area. To the easT of the site is the Wilder Foundation campus, zoned RM-2; to the south is the Wi(der Square Co-op, a medium density residentiai area, also zoned RM-2. To the west is a low to mid-density residential area, zoned RM-2 and it-4. 3. A site plan submitted for the construction of the driveway and parking indicafes fhe replacement of a berm on the south boundary, heavy landscaping on the east and south edges screening the industriai building as weil as tfie drive and parking area, instailation of a fence to buffer the traffic from the Wilde� Square Co-op property, and replacement of a fialf-court basketbal( court for off-hours use by Wilder Square residents. The site plan has been reviewed and approved, contingent upon the rezoning. 4. The impact on those that live or work in the surrounding area is expected, on bafance, fo be positive. The amount of truck traffic is not expected to increase from the current fewer than one truck a week. Instead of on a makeshift grave( drive, the tr�cks will frave( on a paved and heavily landscaped driveway. Employees, instead of parking on surtounding residential streets, will park on the improved parking tof on the site. The entrance to the site that will be moved 80 feef to the south will not pose any trafric hazard or any significantly different impact on surrounding residents. • 5. The rezoning would be consistent with the comprehensive plan that calls for the careful and sensitive integration of uses in neighborhoods. (Land Use Plan, 5.0J In this eight biock area are a major commercial/retaii sife, foundation ofrices and a range of housing typ2s as we!! as two significant industrial empiayers. The at'tention to sife design and iandscaping improves fhe integration of the uses and provides for fhe confinued operation of an historic neighborhood-based Saint Paul business. 6. The applicants have submitfed a pefifion witf� signztures of the owners of 12 of the 18 eligible signatures, meeting the required standard of 67 percent of the property owners within 100 feet of fhe property to be rezoned. � NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Planning Commission that the petition of the SAINT PAU� BRASS AND ALUMINUM FOUNDRY to rezone properfy direcfly fo the south of 954 and 976 West Minnehaha Avenue, more partict�larly described in the file, from a RM-2 zoning ciassificzfion to an f-1 zoning cfassi�ication is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the City; and BE IT FURTNEr2 RESOLVED, that the Saint Paul Plannirta Commissron daes hereby recommend to the Council o� th2 City oi Saint Paul inai prop2rty located directly to the south of 954 and 97o W�st Minnehaha Avenue b= rezoned rrom RM-2 to I-1 in accordance wifh ffie pztition for rezoning on iile with fhe Saint Paul Planning Diti�ision. � The minutes of the August 27,1999 Planning Commission meeting were not available at the time this packet was prepared.

Our community council reviewed this matter in depth on Monday, May 10 at our Physlcal Plannlflg Committee. At that meeting we heard from represe�tacives from the St. Paul 9rass Foundry regarding this building expansion and parking lot project and ths nscessary zon{�g change request they must firat have approved i� ordvr to make ii happen. Afler this revlew ovr commfttee voted to support this request as long as the issuss that ware addressed In tho motion presented above were adequaiely addressed. We understand irom our diSCUSelons wtth both city licensing stafi and the applicant that our concerns hava been considefed positively and wlil be implemented as wa have requested. Our full board approved their recommendations at its May 27 meetlnA. W� want to note that whlie we had recefved a few caiis from nearby neighbors of this business who were opposed to this rezonin8 change and lhe resuitant loss of presn space from this now open iot and fleld, our district council telt that this request made sense tor the overall Thomas Dafe community. While we share the concerns they have voiced regarding the foss of psesn space from iha area, we felt it was aquelly important to support the expaneion and retentio� ot a business that has operated at this same location tor over 130 years, that empioys over 40 employees and one that has a clean operating history wiih tocai poiiution control otticlals. We are pieased that St. Paul Brase hae pledged to replace the basketball caurt that will be removed as a result of this expanslon and will work to make sura that this expanslon !s not harm(ul to thelr surrounding neighbors. With the stab�lity that thls expansion wdl give them ws fiope to be abie to share our community with ttfem for yet another t3o yearsi Another primary reason ior our support was the fact that this whole Issue would not have reaChed this point unlese the several hom�, ownera that make up the Wilder Square Coop and their board hatl not given thelr approval for the saia of thle property end the necaesary zoning change to St. Paul Braem.

Paul M�. The location o£ this building is within 350 feet of the St. Paul Brass Foundry. We are writing to strongly voice our opposition to the proposed re- zoning of the property that the Foundry currently occupies from RM-2 to I-1. In re-zoning this property it is our understanding that industrial traffic £rom trucks and general tra£fic from employees will be greatly increased in this area. This is unacceptable to us because our building is located in a residential area populated by both adults and children. We are concerned about pedestrian safety, increased noise levels and increased pollution. Even now, the odors are so strong that it is unbearable to be outside at times. Besides being concerned for our residents and their peace and safety we are also concerned about the environmental issues that will arise due to this re-zoning. In conclusion, we therefore respectfully request that you do not approve the request contained in Zoning Fi1e Number 99-194. Thank you £or your time and cooperation regarding this matter.

Z01�TING CODE CTTATION: Sec. 64.40Q(a) of the Zoning Code provides in part that "the council may, from time to rime, amend, supplement or change the district boundaries or the regulations herein, or subsequentiy established herein pursuant to the provisions of Zoning File #99-194 Page two Minnesota Statutes Section 462.357 and amendments thereto as may be made from time to time. Ttte planning commission may, from time to rime, review district boundary lines to determine if, pursuant to state Iaws, such district boundary lines should be changed." Section 64.400(b) provides, in part, that "an amendment to the zoning code may be uutiated by the council, the planning commission or by a petition of the owners of 67 percent of the area of the property to he rezoned." F. HISTORY/DISCUSSION: Previous zoning cases involved residenfial facilities located on the Wilder campus, south of the site under discassion in this case. G. DISTRICT COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: The District Seven Plamiing Council recommends approval. I�� I�IRC!'ls� 1. The Saint Paui Brass and Aluminum Foundry has operated at 954 West Minnehaha since 1869 and is, therefore, a legally nonconforming I-2 use in an I-1 district. The most efficient access for bringing raw mafierials to the foundry has been to the rear of fhe building across a driveway and parking lot owned by tke Leaflet Missal Company, the neighboring property to the west, The Leaflet Missal Company has now withdrawn its pernussion for the Foundry to use its property for access. The applicant has reached an a�eement to purchase a 100 $. x 294 8. piece of property along the south side of their current property from the Wilder Square Co-op. They have applied for a lot split and have submitted a site plan for a new driveway and a parking area for 43 cazs, both of which are permitted accessory uses. Both applications have received favorable reviews, pending the rezoning. The application for rezoning is submitted jointly by the Saint Paul Brass Foundry (Peter Ryan) and the Wilder Squaze Co-op {Morris Manning). 2. The property proposed to be rezoned is contiguous to properry to the north currently zoned I-i (the exisring St. Paui Brass and Aluuiinum Foundry and the Leaflet Missal Company properties). The industrial property is long-estabiished, is on the comer of the block across Minnehaha from the Minnehaha Mall, a two biock commercial azea, zoned B-2. The rezoning would enlar�e the industrial portion of the block, but would not change the existing land use pattem of the area. To the east of the site is the Wilder Foundation campus, zoned RM-2; to the south is the Wilder Square Co-op, a medium density residenfial area, also zoned RM-2. To the west is a low to mid-density residential azea, zoned RM-2 and R-4. °I.� --`�� Zoning File #99-194 Page three 3. A site plan submitted for the construction of the driveway and pazking indicates the replacement of a berm on the south boundary, heavy landscaping on the east and south edges screening the industrial building as well as the drive and parking area, installation of a fence to buffer the traffic from the Wilder Square Co-op properiy, and replacement of a half-court basketball court for off-hours use by Wiider Squaze residents. The site p1an has been reviewed and approved, contingent upon the rezoning. 4. The impact on those that live or work in the surrounding azea is expected, on balance, to be positive. The amount of truck traffic is not expected to increase from the current fewer than one a week.. Instead of on a makeshift grauel dzive, the hucks will travel on a paved and heavily landscaped driveway. Bmployees, instead of parking on surrounding residential streets, will park on the improved parking lot on the site. The entrance to the site that will be moved 80 feet to the south will not pose any traffic hazard or any significantly different impact on surrounding residents. The rezoning would be consistent with the comprehensive plan that calls for the careful and sensitive integration of uses in neighborhoods. (Land Use Plan, S.0) In tlus eight block azea are a major commerciaUretail site, foundation offices and a range of housing types as well as two significant industrial employers. The attention to site design and landscaping improves the integration of the uses and provides for the continued operation of an lustoric neighborhood-based Saint Paul business. 6. The applicants have submitted a petition with signatures of the owners of 12 of the 18 eligible signatures, meeting the required standazd of 67 percent of the property owners within 100 feet of the property to be rezoned.. I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on findin�s 1 through 6, staff recommends approval of the rezoning peYition.

Site plan approvai for a 43 space employee parking lot located on the existing St. Paul Brass property and the newly created parcel. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The purpose for this proposed site expansion of St. Paui Brass and Aluminum is to provide for employee parking and truck access to the rear of the existing building. The attached concept site layout provides a tasteful, e�cient proposai that blends weli with the existing land-use intensity of the neighborhood, promotes safe and orderly traffic flow, and creates a handsome parking area with proper site orientation and extensive landscaping, while preserving the existing significant slope {with trees) to the east Careful consideration was taken in the arraignment and placement of the proposed uses on the site expansion. Currently along the Southern property line, the existing fopography rises from the St. Paul Brass site, creating an earthen berm ihat screens their existing industrial site from the existing multi-family site located further to the south. The placement of Yhe proposed parking utilizes the remaining open space on the new parcei for placement of a new earthen berm, emuiating the existing pattern between the two parcels. SUBMtTTAL PACKAGE: Attached with this narrative are four plan sheets that identify the existing and proposed zoning, the existing conditions and the conceptual site layout. Pians for the site pian review and approvai will be submiffed at a tater date.

REZONING REQUEST: The St. Paui City Zoning Code states in Section 64.400 (a) that " the council may, from time to time, amend, supplement or change the district boundaries or the regulations herein, or subsequently estabiish herein pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section 462.357 and amendments thereto as may be made from time to time. 7he pfanning commission may, from time to time, review district boundary lines to determine if, pursuant to state laws, such disVict boundary lines shouid be changed." Section 64.400 (b} states in part that "an amendment tn the zoning code may be initiated by the council, the pianning commission or by petiYion of sixty-seven (67) percent of the area of the property to be rezon2d" A iist of the adjacent property owners was received from the City of St. Paut, as requested. The attached petition includes a number of signatures that meets and/or exceeds the minimum Code requirements from adjacent property owners in the neighborhood who are in support of the rezoning request. Genera!ly, four primary issues are addressed when the City ofi St. Paui evaivates a rezoning request. These issues are: Compatibility with land use and zoning ciassification of property within the generai area. 2. 3. Suitability of the property for the use permitted under the existing zoning classification. The trend of development in the area of the property in question. 4. Consistency w+th the Comprehensive plan and the District plan. The proposed findings that address these concerns ase as 4ollows: Wiider Square, Inc. is the current owner of the subject property for rezoning and has presented a purchzse agreement to St. Paul Brass and Afuminum Foundry (SPSA) for SPBA's purchase of that property. The rezoning is necessary to allow the change in use of the prnperty. SPBA's plans are to construct an employee parking loi and service vehicie access. The subject property is currently open space with an underutilized basketbail court on it. 2. The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Pian. The District 7 Plan recommends the current mix of business, industrial and residentiai for this general area. The Economic Development Strategy chapter recommends that the Gity provide adequate land for industrial and commercial development and expansion (empfiasis addedj in order to increzse the proportion of commercial/industrial tax base (Policy 25, page 17j. The subject property is currently �O The McSherry Group, Inc. Rezoning Submittal fo� April 26, 1999 Page 2 ST. PAUL BRASS & ALUMINUM FOUNDRY underutilized open space and if devetoped for SPBA, essentiaily as parking, wouid alieviate a lack of parking and accessibitity issues wifh adjacent properties, generate property tax revenue as well as serve the adjacent business. 3. The rezoning is consistent and compatibie with the way the area has been developed over fime. The subject property is adjacent to Industrial on its North and it is very unlikely that the propeRy would be developed for residenYia! use. . ' 4. The rezoning will not have an adverse impact on the adjacent property. The proposed use is compatibie with the existing business and industriai prope+iies to the North and the West. The residential land uses to the East and South should not be adversely impacted due to the existing natural topography of the site, which is being preserved to the East and emufated with a natura! earth berm (and landscape) for the reconstructed edge to the South. 5. SPBA has submitted a sufficient petition of to-thirds of the property owners within one hundred (100) feet of the property stating support for the rezoning (18 parce(s eligib(e, 12 required, 12 signed). 7he proposed use is consistent with the City's Guide Plan, is a well designed environment that is complete and is feasible by itself, and helps to preserve a significant portion of the natural environment on the East end of the site. DEVELOPMENTSTANDARDS: The proposed expansion of the existing St. Paul Brass and Alumin�m Foundry property is generally designed to meet or exceed the Industriai (I-1) Zoning DistricPs minimum standards. The building size, setbacks, parking ratio, and landscaping for the proposed development fall within fhe regulations outlined in the I-1 section of the City ordinances with the exception of the building setback to the East property line. This setback should be 34.5 feet (9 '/: times the building height) because the adjacent property is residential. However, at the Yime St. Paul Brass and Aluminum Foundry was constructed, it was in conformance with City Codes, which makes it legally non-conforming. Site Desiqn: Many other factors were considered in creating an aestheticaily pleasing employee parking !ot and truck access area that would properly support the existing deve(opment. The land ptanning intent was to save as many trees as possible on the East end of the site, especially in tfie sioping area. In addition, the design intent was to emulate the existing earth berm/landscape edge condition along the southern property line. Physical development of the empioyee parking lot begins 2pproximately 30 feef M1torth of the new SouYh property line. Initialiy, the thought was to construct only 36 ot the 43 required spaces. It is anticipated, over time, that fhe additional 7 spaces wili need to be eventually constructed. AfYer reviewing a cost-benefit analysis for the construction timi�g, it was determined that the entire parking loi v✓iA need Yo be constructed. Anotfier goal was to minimize the excavation and soifs that need to be removed from the siYe. This is why earth berming is proposed along the South property tine, which will also emulate the existing edge condition. In addition, this also provides an opportunity to provide landscapirtg, which wiii enhance the curb appeal of this secondary use of the property. From a service perspective, the proposed truck and service access to the existing building has been sited to allow for appropriate emergency vehicle and truck turning radii for the ioading dock and service faclities. � The McSherry Group, Inc. Rezoning Submittat for ----- April 26, '1999 Page 3 ST. PAUL BRASS & ALUMINUM FOUNDRY �l.�t, —�co� V EHI CU LAR .Cf ftCU LATI013: A logicai vehicular circuiation pattern has been created for the proposed site deve{opment, which allows employee and service vehicle traffic to enter and exit the site efficiently, and cleariy defines the main drive aisie from the parking bays. The drive aisie width and parking stalls have been designed to exceed the City of St. Aauf's parking standards. The proposed docklservice area on the south side of the existing building has been positioned to maximize tSie tuming radii available for delivery and service vehicies. UTILITIES/GRADING: Water Main No building addition is currentiy proposed for the current building, therefore, no modifications are proposed to the existing water mai� currently serving the structure. Sanitarv Sewer: An existing sanitary sewer connection from Minnehaha Avenue currentiy serves the existing buitding. No additional sanitary sewer service is proposed. Storm Sewer: The storm water management for this development has been completed in accordance with the requirements of the City of St. Paul Public Works Department and the physical limitations of the property. Storm water drainage will be collected ai a low area in the parking iot (with a limited depth). Stormwater from the low area will discharge into the proposed storm sewer system and be carried to the existing 66" RCP storm sewer pipe located 16 feet under Chatsworth Street. The on-site detention basin, when combined with a restricted outlet, will have the ability to minimize the impact of the 100-year storm event on the downstream system. Gradina: The site wili be re-graded to maintain the character of the existing topography. Erosion control will be provided including silt fence, hay bales at catch basins, and rock construction entrance. Public street sweeping will be done at least once a week, once a day if needed. It is proposed that all of the parking lot and service drive areas will have a bituminous surtace with B612 concrete curb and gutter throughout. PROPOSED SiTE DATA: O The McSherry Group, inc.

ST. PAUL BRAS'S I am happy to support you in your effort to rezone. The signed petition is enclosed. St. Paul Brass has long been a respected establishment in the neighborhood and I am familiar with your operaTion. As a child, I grew up on Van Buren near Chatsworth in the 50's. We often played in what was then a vacant lot behind the foundry, long before the �Vilder Foundation bought the property. When we found unbroken sand cores discazded from the foundry, they became our "treasures" and we would take them home and try to preserve them in their unbroken state for as long as possible. My parents built Minnehaha Liquors in 1964 and operated it for twenty yeazs. They knew your company's mana�ement and thought highly of your business. Much of their success in business was due to patronization from your employees at the time. Piease do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance in this matter. Good luck. Sincerely yours, Jo Abraham .. . .
