PLANNING REPORT
TO: Adam Nafstad
FROM: Emily Shively/ Alan Brixius
DATE: October 3, 2013
RE: Albertville – Darkenwald Holdings Ltd. Rezoning (Map
Amendment); 10395 70th Street NE, PID 101088000020, and PID
101500352401
FILE: 163.06 – 13.11
BACKGROUND
John Darkenwald is requesting a rezoning of three adjacent parcels totaling 88.47 acres
from I-1, Limited Industrial District to B-2A, Special Business District. The parcels are
located in the northwestern corner of the City north of I-94 and west of the commercial
development at County Road 19. The applicant is in the initial phase of planning for a
hospitality, entertainment, and retail complex for the site. There are no current
development proposals for these parcels; action on this rezoning request is needed in
order for financing to be acquired and further planning to proceed.
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A: Parcel Location Map
Exhibit B: Albertville Proposed Land Use Plan
Exhibit C: Parcel Survey
Exhibit D: Albertville Zoning Map
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Section 300.1.F. of the Zoning Ordinance states that review of a rezoning request shall
be based upon (but not limited to) the following factors:
1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and
provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City
Comprehensive Plan.
5
Comment: The Albertville 2012 Visioning Study includes a Proposed Land Use
Plan that identifies the applicant’s parcels for business park uses. The parcels
are adjacent to a large area designated for commercial land uses in the plan.
The Proposed Land Use Plan does not envision industrial uses continuing or
establishing in this area; industrial land uses are generally guided to the
southeastern portion of the city. The study includes a commercial policy
statement which reads, “The city will promote commercial development within
locations of the City’s commercial areas as guided in the Albertville Proposed
Land Use Plan.” (p. 43)
The study includes a discussion of commercial uses in the area near the
Albertville Outlet Mall (p. 27). Uses permitted in the B2-A district such as
hospitality and recreational/entertainment businesses were identified as
preferable for the area. The study also indicates that there is sufficient land
identified for industrial uses in the southeastern portion of the city (p. 30), so loss
of industrial zoning on these parcels is not seen as a concern.
2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of
the area.
Comment: The parcels are adjacent to areas currently zoned for commercial
uses. Rezoning to B2-A will allow for uses compatible with existing commercial
uses and is consistent with the city’s Proposed Land Use Plan.
3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein.
Comment: The applicant is not bringing forward applications for subdivision or
development review. Rezoning the parcels to B2-A will subject the properties to
all of the performance standards applicable in that district.
4. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is
proposed.
Comment: Rezoning the parcels in question from I-1 Limited Industrial to B2-A
Special Business will change the number and type of allowed uses in this area.
The B2-A Special Business uses are compatible with adjacent commercial uses
and have been identified as preferred uses for this area in the Proposed Land
Use Plan.
5. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will
not overburden the city's service capacity.
Comment: Public sewer and water and other utilities exist in this area.
Extensions of and connections to these utilities will be evaluated when
subdivision and development proposals are submitted.
6
6. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within the capabilities of streets serving
the property.
Comment: It is anticipated that any development of these parcels will require the
installation of new roadways. The parcels are located near the I-94 interchange
in Albertville and future commercial uses will be able to take advantage of this
access. All roadway improvement needs will be evaluated when development
proposals are submitted.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
John Darkenwald is requesting a rezoning map amendment for three parcels from I-1,
Limited Industrial to B2-A, Special Business in northwestern Albertville. The B2-A,
Special Business District will allow for a mix of uses compatible with the existing
commercial development in this area and higher performance standards will apply to
new development than would be required for I-1, Limited Industrial uses.
This request is consistent with the goals and policies outlined in the 2012 Visioning
Study and illustrated in the Proposed Land Use Plan. We are recommending approval
of the rezoning based on the finding that the request is consistent with the City’s vision
for future land uses in this area. All future subdivision and development on the parcels
in question will be subject to City review and must comply with all ordinance criteria and
performance standards.

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Adam Nafstad
FROM: Emily Shively/ Alan Brixius
DATE: October 3, 2013
RE: Albertville – Conditional Use Permit for an Accessory Structure;
Burda - 12455 County Road 37/60th Street NE
FILE: 163.06 – 13.07
BACKGROUND
Lance and Layla Burda have submitted an application for a conditional use permit to
construct a 2,400 square foot storage building at 12455 60th Street NE. The applicants
are proposing to use the building for vehicle, boat, and equipment storage. A single
family home is currently under construction on the 4.74 acre lot and will include a 1,144
square foot attached garage.
The proposed storage building constitutes a second accessory structure and the total
cumulative floor area of the accessory buildings will exceed the allowed 1,150 square
feet on the property. The proposed height of the storage building is approximately 19.5
feet which exceeds the 16 foot height limit for accessory buildings. The proposed
second accessory structure, total area of accessory buildings, and building height may
be allowed via a conditional use permit (Section 1000.4).
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A: Site Survey
Exhibit B: Proposed Floor Plan and Elevations
Exhibit C: Proposed Side Elevations
Exhibit D: Aerial Photo of Site and Area
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
The proposed storage building is a permitted accessory use in the A-2, Agricultural
Transition District.
12
Setbacks. The proposed building will be located to the southwest of the new home that
is currently under construction on the lot. The building will exceed the front, side, and
rear setback requirements. The building will be located approximately 30 feet from the
west property line and approximately 360 feet from the front property line on 60th Street
NE.
Building Type and Standards. The proposed building will be sided with lap siding to
match the home and will include windows on three sides. The exterior appearance of
the building is anticipated to be compatible with the principal structure on the lot in
compliance with ordinance requirements.
Conditional Use Permit. The building will be a second accessory structure and
therefore requires a conditional use permit (Section 1000.4). Additionally, the proposed
garage will exceed the maximum floor area of 1,000 square feet (2,400 square feet
proposed) and the maximum height of 16 feet (approximately 19.5 feet proposed). This
may be allowed with a conditional use permit provided the following criteria are met:
1. There is a demonstrated need and potential for a continued use of the structure
and the purpose stated.
Comment: The applicants have stated that they will be using the building for
storage of a camper, boat, garden tractor, ATVs, and classic cars.
2. The building has an evident reuse or function related to the principal use.
Comment: The building has an open floor plan with three overhead doors that is
appropriate for storage of vehicles and equipment typically associated with
single-family residential uses.
3. Accessory building shall be maintained in a manner that is compatible with the
adjacent residential uses and does not present a hazard to public health, safety,
and general welfare.
Comment: The building will be sided to match the home on the property and is
anticipated to be compatible with adjacent residential uses and not present any
hazards. The surrounding properties are large acreage lots and also have large
accessory buildings (see Exhibit D). The parcel is of sufficient size to
accommodate the proposed accessory building and will be of similar character to
other lots and buildings in the area.
4. The provisions of subsection 400.2F of this ordinance shall be considered and a
determination made that the proposed activities are in compliance with such
criteria. (Ord. 2009-006, 3-16-2009)
Comment: This condition requires evaluation of the application to be based on
the following factors:
13
1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific
policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the
official city comprehensive plan.
Comment: The 2012 Visioning Study identifies excessive outdoor storage
of recreational vehicles, boats, and other items as an issue of concern in
the community (p. 6,14, 15, and 41). The proposed building will provide
enclosed storage in a structure that is architecturally compatible with the
home on the property.
2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future uses of
the area.
Comment: The property is currently zoned A-2, Agricultural Transitional
and is guided for low density residential use in the future. The proposed
accessory structure is consistent with the type of buildings and uses in
these zoning districts.
3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained
herein.
Comment: The proposed accessory structure will meet setback
requirements, building material standards, and has been found to be in
compliance with conditional use permit criteria to exceed the maximum
building size and height.
4. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which
it is proposed.
Comment: The accessory building will be used for covered storage of
vehicles and equipment and is not anticipated to depreciate the property
or area in which it is proposed. While screening is not required, it may be
noted that the lot to the west is heavily wooded and will provide screening
of the proposed building from the adjacent residential home. The lot to the
east contains a similar, larger accessory building.
5. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and
will not overburden the City's service capacity.
Comment: The proposed accessory building can be accommodated with
existing service provision.
6. Traffic generated by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets
serving the property.
Comment: No additional traffic beyond what is typical for residential uses
is anticipated in connection with the proposed accessory structure.
14
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for the construction of a second
accessory structure in excess of 1,000 square feet and greater than 16 feet in height.
The building will be used for storage of vehicles and equipment within a structure that is
architecturally compatible with the home being built on the lot. Planning staff is
recommending approval based on the finding that the lot is of sufficient size to
accommodate the structure, the proposed building is similar in character to other
accessory buildings in the area, and the proposed building meets the performance
standards and conditional use permit criteria in the Ordinance. Approval may be
granted with the following conditions:
1. The building shall not be used for any commercial business or home occupation
purposes.

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Adam Nafstad
FROM: Emily Shively/ Alan Brixius
DATE: October 3, 2013
RE: Albertville – Red Rooster Properties, Inc. Conditional Use Permit
for a Drive-Through Service Window; 5952 Large Avenue NE
FILE: 163.06 - 13.12
BACKGROUND
The site contains the old Sunoco gas station. Historically, the site accommodated
motor fuel sales (both gasoline and diesel), auto repair, a car wash, convenience store,
and fast food sales. Each of these uses are allowed in the underlying B-3, Highway
Business District. The building recently went through foreclosure and is now under the
ownership of Crown Bank.
The site is being considered for purchase and reopening. The prospective owner is
pursuing a conditional use permit for a drive-through service lane to accommodate a
new fast food business. If approved, the new owner will reopen the building with the
following uses:
• Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Sales
• Auto Repair
• Convenience Store
• Fast Food Sales
The existing car wash will be closed. The site was not originally configured to provide a
drive-through service lane; retrofitting the building and site to provide this use raises a
number of concerns. The following review focuses on the introduction of the drive-
through lane into the site and its impact on other site uses and circulation.
20
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A: Site Plan
Exhibit B: Proposed Floor Plan for Convenience Store and Fast Food service
Exhibit C: Amended Site Diagram Illustrating Staff Recommendations
Exhibit D: Narrative and Supplemental Materials
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Conditional Use Permit. Drive-through service lanes that are accessory to a permitted
or conditionally permitted business are a conditional use in the B-3, Highway Business
District. The following criteria must be satisfied in order for the conditional use permit to
be issued (Section 4500.4):
A. Not less than one hundred twenty feet (120') of segregated automobile stacking
must be provided for the single service lane. Where multiple service lanes are provided,
the minimum automobile stacking may be reduced to sixty feet (60') per lane.
Comment: The site plan shows a single service lane with vehicle stacking for six cars
along the south side of the building and extending west along a median to meet the 120
foot stacking area requirement.
B. The stacking lane and its access must be designed to control traffic in a manner
to protect the buildings and will not interfere with on site traffic circulation or access to
required parking spaces.
Comment: A median will extend westward from the southwest corner of the building to
define the stacking area. A detail must be provided to show the height of the median,
curbing, and stormwater management.
A pedestrian crosswalk will be located across the stacking lane to provide access from
the parking lot to the building entrance. We are recommending that this crosswalk area
be raised and striped to indicate to waiting vehicles that this space should remain open
for pedestrian crossing while queuing. A detail must be provided for the crossing. This
area must remain ADA accessible.
The menu board should be moved forward and be placed so that the car at the menu
board is stopped directly in front of the pedestrian crossing without blocking access from
the store entrance to the parking lot. A railing or wall must be placed between the store
entrance and the drive-through service lane to direct pedestrians to the designated
crossing and reduce potential vehicle/pedestrian conflicts.
The drive-through service lane will exit past the auto repair service bays. Bollards
should be placed near the entrance of the service bays to direct traffic away from the
garage door openings.
21
An existing underground tank access for the diesel fuel pumps is located adjacent to the
proposed parking lot. The applicant must provide a truck maneuvering diagram to
demonstrate how delivery vehicles will enter and exit the tank access area so as not to
interfere with site parking and the drive-through service lane area.
C. No part of the public street or boulevard may be used for stacking of
automobiles.
Comment: The end of the vehicle stacking lane is located approximately 70 feet from
Large Avenue NE which will enable three additional vehicles to queue on-site between
the entrance and the drive-through lane median if necessary. No part of the street or
boulevard anticipated to be impacted by vehicle stacking. If at any time it becomes
apparent that there is insufficient space for queuing without encumbering the street or
right-of-way, the city reserves the right to require the applicant to redesign the drive-
through service lane or discontinue the use of the service lane.
D. The stacking lane, order board intercom, and window placement shall be
designed and located in such a manner as to minimize glare to adjacent premises,
particularly residential premises, and to maximize maneuverability of vehicles on the
site.
Comment: The stacking lane, order board and service window are located in close
proximity to the existing building and a significant distance from adjacent public streets.
The site is located in a commercial area with no residential uses nearby. There are
three entrances to the site and a large paved area to provide unimpeded circulation
through the site.
The menu board will be located along the median at a point which allows vehicles to
proceed to the service window in an efficient manner. We are recommending the
placement of protective bollards at the end of the median and around the menu board to
provide protection for the features and enhance visibility of the median in winter
conditions.
As a condition of approval, the car wash will not be allowed to reopen unless it can be
demonstrated that queuing for the car wash will not conflict with queuing for the service
window.
E. The drive-through lanes shall be screened from view of adjoining residential
zoning districts and public street rights of way.
Comment: There are existing evergreen and deciduous trees located on the wide
boulevard to the south of the proposed service lane. The applicant has not proposed
adding any additional plantings. The property across Barthel Industrial Drive NE is
currently vacant and there are no residential uses adjacent to the site. It is our opinion
that existing plantings are sufficient for this site at this time.
22
F. Hours of operation shall be limited as necessary to minimize the effect of
nuisance factors such as traffic, noise, and glare.
Comment: The site is located in a commercial area near the highway. Operation of the
drive-through service lane is not anticipated to create a nuisance in this area. The
applicant has not provided details on hours of operation for the fast food business; the
planning commission or city council may choose to limit the hours of operation if they
determine this is necessary.
G. A lighting and photometric plan will be required that illustrates that drive-through
service lane lighting shall comply with section 1000.10 of this Ordinance.
Comment: A photometric plan must be submitted to show that footcandle readings do
not exceed 1.0 when measured at the right-of-way line of Large Avenue NE and Barthel
Industrial Drive NE. The lighting plan must show compliance with the performance
standards in Section 1000.10 of the Ordinance.
Off-Street Parking. The following are the parking requirements for the proposed auto
repair, convenience market, and food sales uses:
Auto Repair 8 spaces, plus 1 additional space
for each 800 square feet of floor
area over 1,000 square feet
Actual square footage for the auto
repair use has not been provided. We
are estimating that this use occupies
approximately 5,000 square feet
resulting in 15 parking spaces required
Drive-in
establishment
and convenience
food
At least 1 space for each 35
square feet of gross floor area of
service and dining area, but not
less than 15 spaces. 2 additional
spaces shall be added for drive-
through services facilities and 1
space for each 80 square feet of
kitchen/storage area
The applicant is proposing 716 square
feet of dining area and 792 square feet
of kitchen area. The fast food will have
a drive-through window resulting in 30
required spaces
Retail store
At least 1 space for each 200
square feet of floor area
The applicant is proposing 703 square
feet for the convenience store for a
total of 4 spaces required
The applicant has proposed 37 parking stalls in the large paved area to the south of the
building. An additional eight parking stalls are proposed along the northern boundary of
the site. The 45 total spaces provided are four short of what is required for the
proposed uses; the applicant must provide the additional four spaces (possibly along
the north boundary of the site).
The existing pavement is in a deteriorated state and must be repaved as a condition for
approval. All parking areas must be striped and maintained in compliance with Section
1200.5 of the Ordinance.
23
Trash Enclosure. The applicant is proposing to locate a trash enclosure to the
northwest of the building. The trash enclosure is required to meet the 20 foot side yard
principal building setbacks in the B-3 District, and must be relocated to an area adjacent
to the building or enclosed within the building (perhaps in the area of the vacated car
wash).
The applicant must provide a trash enclosure elevation detail to show the height and
materials of the proposed concrete block walls if the trash receptacles will be located
outside of the building. The proposed enclosure must meet ordinance standards as
outlined in Section 1000.14B.
Other Site Improvements. New diesel fuel pumps are proposed on the south portion
of the site adjacent to Barthel Industrial Drive NE. The pump location meets the 30 foot
required setback. It appears that the canopy above the existing gasoline pumps will be
also be altered. All new signage on the site must comply with Chapter 7 of the
Ordinance.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for a drive-through service lane
accessory to a fast food restaurant at 5952 Large Avenue NE. The site will also contain
fuel sales, a convenience market, and an auto repair business. The site presents a
challenge for locating a drive-though lane and concerns remain regarding the potential
conflict between pedestrians accessing the building from the parking lot and vehicles
queuing in the drive-through lane. The conditions outlined below are recommended to
address this issue. Staff has noted that another option would be relocating the entry
door from the corner of the building to the center of the west wall. An additional option
would be to move the service window farther east and create a wider plaza entry at the
corner of the building of raised concrete. With either of these options, we would still
recommend the installation of a physical barrier between the building and the location of
the marked crossing to ensure that pedestrians utilize the designated crossing area.
We are recommending approval of the conditional use permit based on the finding that
there is sufficient space for stacking of vehicles that will not impede circulation through
the site and that the site is located in a commercial district and will have little or no
impact on nearby residential properties. Approval may be granted with the following
conditions:
1. A detail must be provided to show the height of the median, curbing, and
stormwater management.
2. The pedestrian crossing area shall be striped and raised to provide for additional
safety and must be ADA accessible. A detail must be provided to show the
treatment of this feature.
24
3. The menu board shall be relocated to be placed so that a vehicle will be fully
stopped in front of the pedestrian crossing and able to fully clear the pedestrian
crossing when advancing in the queue.
4. A physical barrier (railing or solid wall) must be installed between the drive-
through and the sidewalk to guide pedestrians to and from the building entrance
and marked crossing.
5. Bollards must be installed to indicate the location of the proposed median,
provide protection for the menu board, and direct traffic away from the service
bays as they exit the drive-through service window.
6. A truck maneuvering diagram must be submitted to demonstrate how delivery
vehicles will approach and exit from the underground tank access area. If it
cannot be shown that truck maneuvering can be accommodated without
conflicting with on-site parking, the conditional use permit will not be granted.
7. At no time shall vehicle stacking impede on-site circulation or extend into the
public right-of-way. The City reserves the right to require the applicant to
redesign the drive-through service lane or discontinue its use if this situation
occurs.
8. The car wash use may not be reinstated.
9. A photometric plan must be submitted to demonstrate compliance with Section
1000.10 of the Ordinance.
10. All parking areas must be resurfaced or repaired. Four additional parking spaces
must be provided for a total of 49 stalls on the site. All parking spaces are to be
striped and maintained in compliance with Section 1200.5 of the Ordinance.
11. The applicant must provide an elevation detail for the trash enclosure to show
compliance with Section 1000.14 of the Ordinance if located outside the building.
The trash enclosure must be relocated adjacent to or within the building.
12. The applicant shall provide a comprehensive sign plan for the entire building and
site. No sign approvals shall be given without this complete plan submission.
