City Administrator Beise explained the instructions to participate in the meeting via the Zoom video format and reviewed instructions for participation in the meeting through telephone or computer. City Administrator Beise noted comment cards completed would be heard in the public comment opportunity first followed by Zoom participants if applicable. Mark Lanterman, 6936 Oak Ridge Road, does not support item 8a, and opined on PUDs utilized in areas guided mixed use or mixed residential use, opined on the projects non-compliance with City code, and opined on the staff report indicating the plan development will not have an adverse impact on the reasonable enjoyment of the neighborhood property and noted the statement does not include reasoning or analysis. Mayor McKee noted the 5-minute time limit for each speaker at the public comment opportunity. MOTION: made by Bottema, seconded by McKee to extend speaker time limit. Voting Aye: McKee, Bottema, Nichols, and Vehrenkamp (Motion carried 4:0) Mr. Lanterman resumed comment and noted issue should be analyzed carefully as Council weighs this issue, to review what reasonable enjoyment definition is in relation to what it takes away from residents. Ryan Richter, 7025 Buckskin Trail, does not support item 8a, and opined on the proposed buildings and does not believe this type of industrial development belongs in the proposed location near a residential neighborhood. Mr. Richter opined on additional traffic created, additional noise, and warehouse operations. Mr. Richter noted the project does not comply with City code. Gail Waldorf, 20117 Larkin Road, does not support item 8a, and opined on the industrial development location near a residential neighborhood. Ms. Waldorf noted traffic safety issues, rainwater runoff, light noise in the evening, and screening issues. Phil Schuette, 20225 County Road 50, supports item 8a, and provided perspective on the proposed location for Corcoran Farms Business Park, originally was zoned medium -density residential but with 2040 Comp Plan was changed to light industrial. Mr. Schuette noted previous conversations with past Council and noted the family chose not to pursue changing the rezoning, but to market the property as it was zoned in 2040 Comp Plan. Mayor McKee noted the 5-minute time limit for Mr. Schuette. MOTION: made by Vehrenkamp, seconded by McKee to extend speaker time limit. Voting Aye: McKee, Bottema, Nichols, and Vehrenkamp (Motion carried 4:0) Mr. Schuette continued the farm property has been a great buffer between the industrial park and residents to the west and south, noted the past 46 to 47 years have been bean fields, and his hope is that a reasonable conclusion can be reached for all parties involved. Daniel Dixon, 20129 Larkin Road, does not support item 8a, opined on the change in zoning from medium - density residential to light industrial. Mr. Dixon expressed concerns regarding truck traffic, easements, setbacks, screening, and non-compliance with City code. Mayor McKee noted the 5-minute time limit for Mr. Schuette. Mr. Dixon noted the proposed project will not create any level enjoyment in his life and opined on the adverse effects of the proposed project to their neighborhood. Tom Feehan, 20410 Larkin Road, does not support item 8a, and opined on PUDs, rezoning, and confusion of rezoned parcel from residential to light industrial. Mr. Feehan opined definition of light industrial according to City code and noted the location of the parcel sandwiched between residential parcels. Mr. Feehan noted code specifies in order for Council to approve a PUD, the applicant must exceed city standards, promote aesthetics, preserve and enhance open spaces, show design superiority, and particularly relevant to include structures that have appropriate mass and scale relative to surrounding properties, or in City code, required to find the proposal will not have an undue or adverse impact on the reasonable enjoyment of neighboring properties, and Mr. Feehan opined the proposal fails in every measure. Mr. Feehan opined on the updated plans addressing neighborhood concerns and does not support the recent updated plans. Council noted for the record the importance of community and neighborhood involvement regarding ideas. Council noted all ideas presented to Council must be heard and reviewed by Council. Council encouraged residents to address all Council and not just one particular member of Council, and to address concerns publicly to all five members of Council. Council thanked all members of the community for participating in the public comment opportunity tonight. Jeff Mihnea, Managing Partner of JAMK, LLC, project developer for Corcoran Farms Business Park. Mr. Mihnea introduced his business partner Mike Kelly, and the team of architects and engineers. Mr. Mihnea reviewed the project history, revised plans, and consideration of neighborhood comments from the Planning Commission meeting at the February 24 meeting. Jeff Shoppach, civil engineer, reviewed the updated and submitted plans included retaining walls on each side of the natural gas utility lines, 8- to 12-foot walls on the buildings on the west side, and a drop in grading of 8- to 124eet for the parking lot, with a 6- to 10400t fence on top, totaling about 18 feet from the first floor of the buildings with solid opaque screening. Mr. Shoppach continued 16400t evergreens would stagger along the whole edge for buffering. Mr. Shoppach reviewed driveway changes, building materials, and loading dock screening. Mr. Shoppach reviewed the setback issues. Ed Farah, project architect, noted understanding of building scalability, importance of transitions of adjacent neighborhoods, and the challenge with a warehouse development near a residential neighborhood. Mr. Farah noted through real lines, proportion, and color, creating a scalable building that does not look too continuous or disproportionate is the goal. Council asked for clarification on tenants and occupancy. Mr. Mihnea replied there are other groups that are circulating right now in the marketplace from Plymouth that want to buy a site and there's virtually no sites anywhere for our business to own. Mr. Mihnea noted most developments like this are controlled to the point where they're all just built for lease; however, Corcoran Farms Business Park would be open to entertaining a bill to suit purchase by a business long-term. Council and applicant discussed the size of each building with the largest building at 250,000 feet, the entrance and exit location on Larkin rather than County Road 50. The applicant noted discussions included a potential future alignment of roads from the south necessitated the need for entrance and exit off Larkin Road and not County Road 50. City Planner Lindahl clarified Hennepin County comments within the EAW indicated no access from County Road 50. Council and staff discussed entrance and exit locations off of Larkin Road rather than County Road 50. City Administrator Beise noted resident public comment questions have been noted and staff will respond to the concerns addressed. City Planner Lindahl provided insight into public comments and noted the language used in the staff report referencing "the planned development will not have an adverse impact on the reasonable enjoyment of the property," is language from City code. City Planner Lindahl noted the language relates to one of the findings that must be made if Council approves a PUD. City Planner Lindahl noted the language was placed in the code as a requirement within the findings of fact and is the reason it was included in the staff report. City Planner Lindahl noted comments about the comprehensive plan are correct regarding the Comprehensive Plan update in 2017, and adopted in 2019, and noted the property was re -guided from medium density to industrial. City Planner Lindahl clarified the comment suggesting that the zoning ordinance does not allow industrial property next to residential, does anticipate and allow for it, noting the code specifically addresses residentially zoned and industrial zoned districts and are regulated through height, lock coverage, setbacks, landscape loading, and use type to facilitate the compatibility between these uses. City Planner Lindahl noted the light industrial district is the City 's only industrial district and does a lot allow a wide range of industrial uses. City Administrator Beise noted the parking space allotment is approximately 1249 in documents provided by the applicant, and added all drainage and stormwater areas need to meet stormwater regulations and would be approved by the watershed commission. City Administrator Beise noted signage was not included in the PUD flexibility and all signage would need to meet city code sign ordinances. Council noted the location of the property is sandwiched between a residentially zoned district and an industrial 3 zoned district, and depending on which path an applicant may take to develop the parcel, it could make sense either way for the property to have a residential development or a light industrial development. Council noted with light industrial development presented to Council, how can buffering be utilized for the least amount of impact to surrounding properties. a. Rezoning, Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan "Corcoran Farms Business Park" (City File 22-044) City Planner Lindahl noted there are some plan changes, currently the request includes rezoning a PUD and a preliminary plat for this site. City Planner Lindahl the property is 70 acres it is zoned light industrial. City Planner noted light industrial is the City's industrial district. City Planner Lindahl reviewed an EAW was completed for this site and explained and EAW is an Environmental Assessment Worksheet. City Planner Lindahl noted City Council adopted a finding of no need for an EIS, which is an Environmental Impact Statement on May 11 of this year. Cit Planner Lindahl reviewed the EIS is intended to identify whether there is any potential for significant environmental impacts on a site and provides an opportunity to identify mitigation strategies that need to be included if a project does proceed on the site. City Planner Lindahl noted the EAW was based on the concept plan Council reviewed in February and it did include traffic - related and stormwater-related questions, and each were addressed in the EAW. City Planner Lindahl noted the EAW is available at City Hall for review. City Planner Lindahl recalled the intent of re -guiding the property from medium density residential was for the Council to provide more opportunities for commercial and industrial development within the city of Corcoran, and to provide jobs and business opportunities in the City. City Planner Lindahl noted the Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 6, then voted three to zero to recommend denial, and following the Planning Commission meeting, revised plans were received on January 17, which were included in the packet. City Planner Lindahl noted in addition to the digital submittal, there was a physical submittal at City Hall that was not get in the packet, however, discussion regarding the changes that were included in the packet, as well as changes that didn't get included were discussed. Council and staff discussed tabling the item until November 21, and to also provide additional feedback to the applicant regarding additional items Council would like included with revised plans. Council provided feedback to applicant regarding plan revisions. MOTION: made by Bottema, seconded by Vehrenkamp, to table item 8a, to November 21, and noted it is a Monday, and is the week of Thanksgiving.

Moved: Tharp Accessory Structure CUP (City File 22-055) Planner McKeown reviewed the application request for a conditional use permit for an accessory structure. Planner McKeown noted the public hearing was held on October 6, at the Planning Commission meeting. Planner McKeown noted the applicant is requesting an accessory structure with a footprint of up to 7530 square feet, and a sidewall height of 14 feet, 8 inches in the front yard, and reviewed the building is for personal storage of recreational vehicles and equipment. Planner McKeown noted the applicant also requested flexibility to allow the building to be constructed in two phases over five years, with Phase one including a footprint of about 5760 square feet, plus square footage for a lien to attach to the building; with Phase two including a 60-feet by 120-feet footprint, again with 330 square feet added for lean to space. Planner McKeown provided some context as to the approximate location of the structure in comparison to the surrounding properties. Planner McKeown noted overall staff finds all set back standards have been met for both the sidewall height and accessory structure footprint. Planner McKeown reviewed several conditions of approval included in resolution indicating the structure cannot be used for commercial purposes, and unless a separate approval is requested and granted with a specific prohibition on commercial storage of the structure. Planner McKeown noted the applicant would not be able to request commercial storage under this conditional use permit. Planner McKeown reviewed landscaping with coniferous trees along Duffney Drive is required heard and matches the Planning Commission recommendation. Planner McKeown noted the certification of the applicant's wetland boundary must be completed before a building permit will be issued with revised plans submitted to address an overhang minimum of 24 inches, removal of this deck and driveway access that currently exists on Duffney Circle. Planner McKeown noted staff is also requiring dimensioned setbacks for the building and driveway for both Phase 1 and Phase 2. Planner McKeown noted that currently the City does not have clear plans for Phase 1. Planner McKeown noted it appears there is enough space to meet the driveway and building setbacks. Planner McKeown noted the applicant will have to submit a landscaping plan based on the Planning Commission recommendation, and then revise building plans for the building permit, and will be required to show Phase 1 building plans and Phase 2 building plans. Planner McKeown added landscaping will trigger the requirement for the applicant to enter into a site improvement performance agreement until completion of the construction and landscaping installation. Planner McKeown noted the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval with the addition of landscaping along Duffney Drive, and athree-year approval period with the ability to request a single one-year extension. Council and staff discussed specific language regarding prohibition for commercial rental. Council discussed amending the resolution to include a double row of conifers along Duffney Drive and along the property to the south. MOTION: made by Bottema, seconded by Vehrenkamp approving Resolution 2022-128 Conditional Use Permit For The Property Located At 20420 Duffney Circle (PID 11-119-23-31-0011) (City File No. 22-055).

Voting Aye: McKee, Nichols, and Vehrenkamp Nay: Bottema (Motion carries: 3:1) b. Northeast District Plan Zoning Amendment (City File 22-060) Mayor McKee invited residents to communicate in -person or telephonically during the public comment opportunity for Planning Business item 8c. City Administrator Beise explained the instructions to participate in the meeting via the Zoom video format and reviewed instructions for participation in the meeting through telephone or computer. No persons participated in the public comment period. City Planner Lindahl reviewed the Staff is recommendation for a zoning ordinance amendment to the northeast district to address some variances that came up in processing the plans for the City 's project that carried unintended consequences. City Planner Lindahl outlined the current ordinance indicates no loading docks or overhead doors shall be visible from county roads or residential property. City Planner Lindahl reviewed the proposed language included at the public hearing caried the intent doors would be oriented away from County Roads, however, not that there could be zero visibility, but be oriented away from County Roads where reasonable. City Planner Lindahl noted discussion at the Planning Commission regarding the word "reasonable" as a kind of soft word. City Planner Lindahl reviewed the recommendation by staff for Council approval is the draft resolution that includes alternative language, which is to say instead of "reasonable utilize the language "whenever possible the remainder of the language within the resolution remains the same as the previous version. City Planner Lindahl reviewed the second staff recommendation relates to the screening of utility structures. The ordinance currently indicates that any utility structure or 5 utility meter, recycling loading, etc., needs to be screened with a privacy fence or wall that's at least 6-feet in height. City Planner noted Council previously approved the water tower which required a 6-foot fence to screen a 3-foot transformer box, which may be more than we needed to accomplish or necessary. City Planner noted staff is recommending that ground mounted equipment be screened to the height of the equipment or 6-feet, whichever is less, and when the equipment exceeds 6-feet, coniferous trees must be used to provide the screening, and then specifically, loading areas need to be in utility service structures. City Planner Lindahl added loading areas need to be screened and required as required by the code today, and noted all the other districts which staff believes has been adequate, and that utility service structures need to be screened using a double row of landscaping privacy, fence, or wall screening, at the same height of the structure. City Planner Lindahl reviewed channeling fat fences are not acceptable and is also recommended. City Planner Lindahl reviewed the third staff recommendation change references the code that indicates landscaping must be include a full complement of overstory, ornamental, evergreen shrubbery, and ground covers. City Planner Lindahl noted staff proposes using the word a mix of, as there may be some cases where it just doesn't make sense to have some of the components included. City Planner Lindahl included for example, ornamental trees aren't always included in a landscape plan. City Planner Lindahl noted this recommendation allows that mix and ensures the City still has a mix including species diversity, with no more than 33 percent of any one species under our code. City Planner Lindahl reviewed the Planning Commission recommendation of approval with a two to one vote. MOTION: made by Bottema, seconded by Vehrenkamp to adopt Ordinance 2022-470 Amending the Text of Chapter 10 of the Corcoran City Code (City File 22-060) per staff recommendations.
