1
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,040
Okay,

2
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:10,639

3
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:14,240
>> Mics on, please.

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,679
>> All right, we got the lower third up

5
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:16,560

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:17,440
to order the regular meeting of the

7
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,320

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,680
Sarah, will you please take the role?

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:22,800

» I pledge allegiance to the flag of the

changes on the agenda in front of us.

27

Can I get a motion to approve as

28

>> I. I.

59
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:46,720
>> Opposed. And those minutes are adopted

60
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,479
as well.

61
00:01:48,479 --> 00:01:50,479
>> Uh, next up on our agenda is public

62
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:52,079
hearings. We do have one in front of us

63
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:53,600
tonight. A public hearing for Mr.

64
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,920
Carwash located at 7099 Leven Street

65
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,439
North. We will start with the staff

66
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:00,880
presentation. Luke,

67
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,360
thank you, Mayor and Council. So, yes,

68
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,280
this request, it's located at 709911

69
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,959
Street North. That's the former Hardy

70
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:11,200
site. The request here is to enable

71
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,800
development of a car wash at that

72
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,879
property. The request involves two

73
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:17,040
things. A planned unit development or

74
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,879
PUD amendment, which is essentially a

75
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:21,120
zoning change, and a conditional use

76
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,760
permit to allow the car wash. So the

77
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,680
zoning of this site and the area is

78
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,720
Tartan Crossing PUD. Uh the PUD

79
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,599
expressly prohibits car washes and motor

80
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:34,000
fuel station car washes. So the stated

81
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,440
purpose and intent of the Tartan

82
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,560
Crossing PUD is to and I quote provide

83
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,640
for a compact walkable mixeduse

84
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:42,319
development along a key corridor and

85
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:44,560
gateway. So staff find that the proposed

86
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,640
amendment is inconsistent with the PUD

87
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:48,959
and the long-term vision for pedestrian

88
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:50,720
friendly uses within the Tartan Crossing

89
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,760
area. So in addition, the proposed use

90
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,000
may generate negative external effects

91
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,319
such as increased noise on adjacent

92
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:00,560
businesses and residential property and

93
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,879
by creating conflicts with the mixeduse

94
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:05,440
pedestrian supported neighborhood.

95
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,800
I want to acknowledge that while the

96
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,040
Tartan crossing area contains some

97
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,599
businesses with autooriented features,

98
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:14,560
these are accessory to the primary uses

99
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,400
uh which serve both pedestrians and

100
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,040
automobile users. whereas a car wash

101
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,760
would uh provide services exclusively to

102
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,480
automobile users. So for the conditional

103
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,239
use permit component of this request,

104
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:28,239
again the subject property being located

105
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:31,040
within the Tartan Crossing PUD area, uh

106
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,680
car washes are prohibited. As such, the

107
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,760
use is not permitted and the conditional

108
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,560
use permit should be denied. So, at the

109
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,920
planning commission hearing, this was

110
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,799
back on August 6 of this um a few weeks

111
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:45,760
back and there was an adjacent property

112
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,000
owner who expressed concerns about noise

113
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,599
impacts to the business from the

114
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:52,560
proposed use. Um [clears throat]

115
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,560
there was also a neighbor who expressed

116
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,959
support for the use. The commission

117
00:03:56,959 --> 00:03:58,799
recommended approval of the planned unit

118
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:00,480
development amendment and also the

119
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,040
conditional use permit. So just to

120
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,200
conclude here, staff maintains its

121
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,439
recommendation of denial for both the

122
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:09,360
PUD amendment and the conditional use

123
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,680
permit based on the findings stated in

124
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,360
the resolutions that are in the agenda

125
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,639
packet. So I will jump to the first

126
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:19,680
resolution. So this is 2026-57.

127
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,440
So three findings here. So the first one

128
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,840
is that the proposed car wash conflicts

129
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:25,280
with the stated purpose and intent of

130
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:27,759
the Tartan Crossing PUD which is to

131
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:30,240
provide for a compact walkable mixeduse

132
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,919
development along a key corridor and

133
00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:34,000
gateway. And number two, the proposed

134
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,040
use conflicts with the

135
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,479
pedestrianfriendly environment

136
00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:39,680
envisioned for the Tartan Crossing PUD.

137
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,320
Number three, the subject property is is

138
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,320
adjacent to residential land use and the

139
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,880
proposed car wash is anticipated to

140
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,040
generate negative externalities and

141
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,080
nuisance conditions. Uh so jumping to

142
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,759
the next resolution. So this is 2026-56

143
00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:57,680
for the conditional use permit. Two

144
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,440
findings there again uh as mentioned

145
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,520
number one there the car wash and motor

146
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,440
fuel station car washes are prohibited

147
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,639
uses in tart the tartan crossing PUD

148
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:10,800
and number two the car wash conflicts

149
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,240
with the stated purpose and intent of

150
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,520
the PUD area.

151
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,120
Uh so as [clears throat] a reminder this

152
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,199
is a public hearing. I believe the Yep.

153
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:21,120
the full team for the the applicant is

154
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,240
here. Um staff is happy to answer any

155
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,840
questions as well. And I want to

156
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:27,919
acknowledge that we received a number of

157
00:05:27,919 --> 00:05:29,280
written comments that have been

158
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:31,120
forwarded to the city council prior to

159
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,560
this meeting for review and

160
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,280
consideration. We also received um an

161
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:37,520
email late this evening, you know, about

162
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,199
30 minutes before this meeting started.

163
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:40,960
Just want to acknowledge that that was

164
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,039
received by the city council. I got some

165
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:48,160
printouts of written correspondence if the council would like. Thank you.

166
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,600
Uh, council members, any questions for

167
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,360
Luke?

168
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,280
Um, I have a clarifying question for our

169
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:56,080
city attorney, Jim. Uh, public hearing

170
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,199
is for the PUB amendment only, correct?

171
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:00,720
Because that's what's specified in code

172
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:01,520
is correct.

173
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:02,400
>> Okay.

174
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,560
>> Um,

175
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,560
so at this time, I'm going to go ahead

176
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,840
and open the public hearing. This is an

177
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:09,520
opportunity for anybody in the audience

178
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:10,960

186
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,880
» Good evening, mayor, members of the

187
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,960
council. My name is Ed Capables with Mr.

188
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,360
Car Wash. Today, we're asking for two

189
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,960
actions on the vacant former Hardies

190
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,360
Pad. First, an amendment moving car wash

191
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,880
from the prohibited use list to a

192
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,960
conditional use. And then second, a

193
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,759
conditional use permit for our facility.

194
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:45,360
On August 6th, your planning commission

195
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,639
heard the staff report, recommend

196
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:49,280
denial, heard our presentation, held the

197
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:51,360
public hearing, and voted unanimously to

198
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,639
recommend approval of both of our

199
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:54,319
requests.

200
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:55,919
The question before you is whether this

201
00:06:55,919 --> 00:06:58,479
use fits Tartan Crossing, and the city's

202
00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:01,120
own record answers it. The stated intent

203
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,120
of the PUD is to provide a compact,

204
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,840
walkable, mixeduse development. However,

205
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:08,160
through the city's own policy decisions,

206
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,759
what has been built does not reflect

207
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:13,199
this original vi vision. In 2014, the

208
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:15,199
council amended this PUD to permit motor

209
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:17,199
fuel sales and approved the coffee shop

210
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:20,000
drive-thru. In 2016, the council

211
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,840
approved the drive-through restaurant on

212
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,680
this very pad, further degrading the

213
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,120
intent of the PUD. In 2022, the PUD was

214
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,360
amended again, which removed grocery

215
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,199
pickup kiosk sales from the list of

216
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:32,880
prohibited uses and raise the

217
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,360
drive-through cap from 5 to 8. Each of

218
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,440
these was a deliberate policy decision,

219
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,039
which now results in over a million

220
00:07:39,039 --> 00:07:42,880
visits to the Tartan Crossing Pud.

221
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,400
The planning commission asked thoughtful

222
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,960
questions. They asked about our traffic.

223
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,000
Our analysis shows 123 fewer daily trips

224
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,720
than a standard fast food restaurant. On

225
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,120
stacking, we hold 22 vehicles in the POS

226
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,280
queuing lanes with the potential for 35

227
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,039
on site.

228
00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:01,039
Projected peak demand is 59 cars an

229
00:08:01,039 --> 00:08:02,639
hour, while the store has the capacity

230
00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:05,759
to process up to 120 an hour. Since

231
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:07,759
capacity is roughly double demand, the

232
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:09,599
queueing lane drains faster than it than

233
00:08:09,599 --> 00:08:11,120
it forms.

234
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,479
The city engineer has reviewed our

235
00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:14,080
traffic and stacking analysis and found

236
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,160
it compliant. And this proposal will not

237
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,479
create negative external externalities

238
00:08:18,479 --> 00:08:21,199
and nuance conditions. Noise was also

239
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:22,479
discussed by the commissioners and was

240
00:08:22,479 --> 00:08:24,080
brought up during the public hearing.

241
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,840
Every vehicle is washed inside the

242
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,759
building with silencers on the blowers

243
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:29,599
and no outdoor speakers anywhere on the

244
00:08:29,599 --> 00:08:31,120
site.

245
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,479
Obviously, we are still in the design

246
00:08:32,479 --> 00:08:34,240
phase, but we plan to enclose the vacuum

247
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,680
producer and will increase the height of

248
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:38,000
the retaining walls in the back. Make no

249
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,919
mistake, we will meet the city's noise

250
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:41,519
requirements and will provide a sound

251
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:43,519
study at the site plan review to conform

252
00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:46,560
adherence to the code. Finally, we sat

253
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:47,760
down with the residents at new

254
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,600
perspective, showed them our renderings

255
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,000
and asked for their feedback. No major

256
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,080
objections were raised and they told us

257
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,920
they walked that area and value the

258
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,360
bench near the pond. So, we will

259
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,040
incorporate pedestrian amenities into

260
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,800
our plan which are consistent with the

261
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,640
beauty requirements.

262
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,240
Today, this pad is not producing any

263
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,720
economic activity. What we are proposing

264
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,040
is entirely privately funded. No public

265
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,920
subsidy, no off-site infrastructure.

266
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,839
This proposal activates an underutilized

267
00:09:13,839 --> 00:09:16,399
pad and puts the site back to work. We

268
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:17,920
respectfully request that the council

269
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,519
approved the PUB amendment and

270
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:21,200
conditional use permit. Thank you. Glad

271
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,480
to answer any happy to answer any

272
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,040
questions.

273
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,959
>> Thank you. Uh during a public hearing,

274
00:09:24,959 --> 00:09:26,399
there aren't any questions from council

275
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:28,560
for those speaking. Is there anybody

276
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:29,680
else that would like to speak under the

277
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:38,230
public hearing tonight?

278
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,720
Hi, mayor and members of council. My

279
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,560
name is Rowan Oxenfield. I've lived in

280
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:45,120
Oakdale for about 23 years. I'm here

281
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,880
tonight to speak in support of the

282
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,519
proposed Mr. Car Wash development. I

283
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:51,120
wanted to speak because I have a unique

284
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,279
perspective on this project. Not only

285
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:55,279
have I lived in Oakdale most of my life,

286
00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:57,120
but I recently joined Mr. Car Wash

287
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,440
through its management training program.

288
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,040
As someone who's still pretty new to the

289
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,399
company, I've had the chance to see

290
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:04,560
firsthand how they have invested in

291
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:06,240
their employees, their customers, and

292
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,640
the communities where they operate.

293
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,160
Before working for Mister, I never

294
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,920
thought much about car washes. But since

295
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,360
joining the company, I've learned a lot

296
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,680
about what's going goes into running a

297
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:17,760
modern car wash. It's not just about

298
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,519
cleaning cars. It's about creating a

299
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:21,040
convenient and enjoyable experience that

300
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,360
people use regularly, especially here in

301
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,120
Minnesota where road salt, snow, and

302
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,560
changing weather can be rough on

303
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:28,720
vehicles. Having that option available

304
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,000
right here in Oakdale would save

305
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,600
residents time and keep more of the

306
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,839
spending in our community.

307
00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:35,519
What has impressed me most as a new

308
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:37,680
employee is the culture. I've been given

309
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:39,360
opportunities to learn, develop

310
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,959
leadership skills, and prepare for a

311
00:10:40,959 --> 00:10:43,360
long-term career. For someone just

312
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,720
starting out in management program

313
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,480
that's meaningful. This location would

314
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,640
create jobs and provide opportunities

315
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,399
for others who are looking for training,

316
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:53,360
growth, and career path like the one I'm

317
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,079
pursuing. As a resident, I want Oakdale

318
00:10:56,079 --> 00:10:57,920
to continue growing in ways that make

319
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,079
sense. This project would bring a useful

320
00:11:00,079 --> 00:11:01,680
service to to the community, create

321
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:03,519
local jobs, and add to commercial

322
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:06,079
amenities that residents expect. I

323
00:11:06,079 --> 00:11:07,279
believe this would be a positive

324
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:08,800
addition addition to Oakdale, and I

325
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,720
respectfully encourage the council to

326
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,720
approve the proposal. Thank you for your

327
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,000
time and consideration.

328
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,350
>> Thank you,

329
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,200
» Mr. Mayor and council members. My name

330
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,760
is Rick Tim. I'm the owner of the All

331
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,160
Family Dental Professional Building at

332
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,959
1075 Hadley Avenue North. This is just

333
00:11:28,959 --> 00:11:32,720
west of the proposed site. Um, in case

334
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,560
others don't know this, there are

335
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:37,120
actually eight car washes within 3 miles

336
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,160
of this location. We are not short of

337
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,959
car washes. If you include the ones out

338
00:11:42,959 --> 00:11:46,079
uh six miles, there are six additional

339
00:11:46,079 --> 00:11:49,839
ones. So, there's there's 14 car washes

340
00:11:49,839 --> 00:11:51,600
for people to choose from. We are not

341
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,920
short on car washes.

342
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,800
Having said that, and having a compact

343
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,519
time, I don't see any com compelling

344
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:02,560
evidence that we need another car wash

345
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:05,040
that would overrule the planned unit

346
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,680
development that was thoughtfully uh

347
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:10,480
done in 2011.

348
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,959
the the city bought that

349
00:12:12,959 --> 00:12:15,120
property and it was it turned into quite

350
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,800
a blighted uh property and it was it was

351
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,360
after two years of planning this was was

352
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,839
determined to be the best alternative

353
00:12:23,839 --> 00:12:25,440
and I think we have to give them credit

354
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,399
for perhaps having that right. I did

355
00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:32,880
hear the the car wash agents talk about

356
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,040
the the appropriateness of more

357
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,920
autocentric things in in this

358
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,519
development by saying, "Well, you have a

359
00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:41,360
gas station." Well, we had a gas station

360
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,519
anyways. Gas stations tend to go

361
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:46,320
together and there's a Circle K. An old

362
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,800
Holiday was right next door and if

363
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,160
you're going to get a if you're going to

364
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,800
get a a fast food restaurant, you're

365
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,440
going to get a uh drive-thru. Having

366
00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:02,880
said that, it's not the same use. Those facilities are not noisy. They

367
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,440
will not produce any unusual noise over

368
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,440
their normal course of business.

369
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,320
However, the vacuum pumps, the vacuum

370
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,839
stations,

371
00:13:11,839 --> 00:13:15,120
7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., 7 days a week,

372
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:21,760
four weeks a month, 12 months a year, after year after year. I I I sit in

373
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,000
the dental office often times and I I

374
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,440
see residents, young and old, going

375
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,760
around that that uh rain garden. I call

376
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,360
it a rain garden. I know it's a sewer

377
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,519
management thing, but I call it a rain

378
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:36,079
garden. And uh they're having the quiet

379
00:13:36,079 --> 00:13:38,240
enjoyment of that. And I think that was

380
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,880
what the planned unit development uh

381
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,600
initial was thinking would be the best

382
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,000
use. This is for sure not what they were

383
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
thinking about.

384
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,519
Um,

385
00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:52,240
ultimately I think the the rule of city

386
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,399
governance is not to unduly weigh the

387
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:57,120
benefits of increased property values. I

388
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,639
don't really care that it's producing

389
00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:02,639
taxes or not. The city might um the

390
00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:04,959
benefits to to me as a business owner,

391
00:14:04,959 --> 00:14:07,440
the benefits Mr. car wash as a business

392
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,240
order, but I think it's supposed to

393
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,720
represent the changes that are in the

394
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,959
public good and ultimately in the best

395
00:14:14,959 --> 00:14:17,279
interest of residents.

396
00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:18,880
And I really don't think that this makes

397
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:24,399
the cut in my opinion. And I have other uh data that I shared with

398
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:27,040
you by email. Thank you.

399
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:32,230
>> Thank you.

400
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,760
» Hi there. So, [clears throat] I'm Dean

401
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,199
Wangren at 655015th Street Circle North

402
00:14:37,199 --> 00:14:39,519
in Oakdale. So, I want to speak out in

403
00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:44,000
favor of the car wash. Um, I live about

404
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,360
four blocks away and I think it'd be

405
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,440
really handy to have one of the faster

406
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,959
um conveyor belt style car washes. So,

407
00:14:50,959 --> 00:14:52,320
um I don't know if there's eight car

408
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,600
washes nearby. There's certainly like

409
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,680
three car washes within a reasonable

410
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:56,800
distance, but they're all kind of the

411
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,240
gas station attached ones. And what I

412
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,360
noticed, especially in the spring,

413
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,360
they're really slow. So, it'd be great

414
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,000
if there was one that uh especially when

415
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,760
it's kind of rainy and mucky out, you

416
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:06,880
could go quickly and get your car

417
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,160
washed. And I'm hoping this could do

418
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,079
that. Um, also, it'd be really handy

419
00:15:10,079 --> 00:15:12,000
because it's right by Hi, so that's

420
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,440
where we get our gas. We could just run

421
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,000
over and wash a car.

422
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,320
All right. Well, that's it. Thank you.

423
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,519
>> Is there anybody else that would like to

424
00:15:21,519 --> 00:15:32,230
speak under the public hearing tonight?

425
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,519
Hello, my name is Marina Hernandez and I

426
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:38,959
work for All Family Dental. We have a

427
00:15:38,959 --> 00:15:40,720
lot of residents that come from local

428
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,199
areas and after speaking with a resident

429
00:15:45,199 --> 00:15:49,600
at the new uh perspective. It sounds

430
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,000
like a lot of the residents there are

431
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,079
not necessarily in favor of a car wash.

432
00:15:54,079 --> 00:15:57,600
they would prefer a restaurant. I do

433
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,639
understand the value of having a car

434
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:02,720
wash. However,

435
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,959
again, I do agree that we're [sighs]

436
00:16:04,959 --> 00:16:07,920
going to have more traffic, which is

437
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,790
good for our community. However,

438
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,240
right now what I notice working

439
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,519
at the off dental office with the

440
00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:22,160
construction, I don't foresee that we

441
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,800
have the correct

442
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,480
traffic meters there to manage if we

443
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,560
add. So, I guess I would want to know

444
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,880
are we going to add additional traffic

445
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,399
meters there, stop signs, stop light to

446
00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:38,240
help with that? And I do have concerns

447
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,360
for the people that do live next door at

448
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,240
New Perspective because is this the best

449
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,880
option for them because some of them

450
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,720
don't travel and it would be nice for

451
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,079
them to have a restaurant next door

452
00:16:50,079 --> 00:16:52,240
again. Thank you.

453
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,120
>> Thank you.

454
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,480
Is there anybody else that would like to

455
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,030
speak under tonight's public hearing?

456
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,160
Seeing none, I'm going to go ahead and

457
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,360
close the public hearing. Bring it back

458
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,880
up for council consideration. Council

459
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,079
members, uh, do we have any additional

460
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:11,760
questions, uh, for city staff?

461
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,520
Jim, do you have anything for us?

462
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,079
>> Uh, Mr. Mayor, I will after a motion is

463
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:18,480
made.

464
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,799
>> Okay. Uh, council members, two motions

465
00:17:20,799 --> 00:17:21,919
in front of us. Is there somebody that

466
00:17:21,919 --> 00:17:25,439
would like to make the first motion?

467
00:17:25,439 --> 00:17:27,919
>> Um, I will make the first motion. I

468
00:17:27,919 --> 00:17:30,320
recommend we wave reading and adopt

469
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,160
resolution

470
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,120
2026-57

471
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:37,760
denying an application for an amendment

472
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,080
to the Tartan Crossing planned unit

473
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,799
development to allow a car wash at 7099

474
00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:46,480
111th Street North.

475
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,840
>> There's a motion. Is there a second?

476
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:48,240
>> Second.

477
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,520
>> Motion and a second. Comments. Jim.

478
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,039
>> Uh Mr.

479
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:55,360
Members of council, uh, I recommend we

480
00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:57,280
add an additional finding to the, uh,

481
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,679
proposed resolution based on, uh,

482
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:00,880
statements that were made by the

483
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,760
applicant tonight. And my suggested

484
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,200
wording of that for an additional

485
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,160
finding is that, uh, unlike the current

486
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,600
proposed use, previous amendments to the

487
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,039
Taton Crossing PUD uh, referenced by the

488
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:18,160
applicant did not involve a use that was

489
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,280
exclusively for vehicles.

490
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,520
Okay.

491
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,200
Uh,

492
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,720
council members, is there anybody that

493
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,559
would like to offer an amendment adding

494
00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:30,320
that additional finding to the

495
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,919
underlying resolution?

496
00:18:33,919 --> 00:18:35,600
>> Yeah, I'll make that motion to add that

497
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:36,480
additional language.

498
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:37,600
>> There's a motion on the amendment. Is

499
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,160
there a second?

500
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:38,559
>> Second.

501
00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:39,919
>> Motion to second. All those in favor say

502
00:18:39,919 --> 00:18:40,240
I.

503
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,320
>> I. Opposed. And the amendment is

504
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,320
adopted. Back to uh resolution 2026-57

505
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:53,600
as amended. Uh any conversation on that,

506
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,039
Jim? Anything else?

507
00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:55,600
>> No.

508
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,200
>> Okay. Uh we've had a motion. We've had a

509
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,520
second. Uh all those in favor say I.

510
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,280
>> I. Opposed. And resolution 2026-57

511
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,840
denying an application is adopted.

512
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,360
>> Uh Jim, since we um are not amending the

513
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:14,559
PUD, is the CUP action necessary or is

514
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:16,000
it moot?

515
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,840
>> Mr. Mayor, yes, that that there's still

516
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,000
an action necessary on that because it

517
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,760
is a pending application that's subject

518
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,039
to a time limit and [snorts] uh the

519
00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:26,559
findings in there are based on the fact

520
00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:29,200
that because you did not approve the PD

521
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,120
amendment, the use is not allowed and

522
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:33,280
therefore you can't grant a CUP for it.

523
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,120
>> Got it. Uh will somebody make that

524
00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:39,190
action?

525
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,799
» Sure. Sure. I'll make that motion that

526
00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:42,320
uh we wave reading and adopt resolution

527
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,520
2026-58 denying denying an application

528
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,200
for a conditional use permit for car

529
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,000
wash at 709911 Street North.

530
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,200
>> There's a motion. Is there a second?

531
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:51,679
>> Second.

532
00:19:51,679 --> 00:19:54,160
>> Motion and a second. Any final comments?

533
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,919
>> Seeing none, all those in favor say I.

534
00:19:55,919 --> 00:19:56,480
>> I.

535
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,919
>> Opposed? And resolution 2026-58

536
00:19:59,919 --> 00:20:02,960
is adopted. Uh next we'll move into open

537
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,960
forum. Um before we open the floor to

538
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,480
any comments, we have three action or

539
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,000
three items on the agenda in front of us

540
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,640
tonight. First up, uh, the 2025

541
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,760
GreenStep Cities Award presentation.

542
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,694
We have a staff presentation. Oh, hi.

543
00:20:15,694 --> 00:20:17,440
[laughter]

544
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:22,470
Welcome.

545
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,200
Good evening, mayor, council members,

546
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,360
um, and thank you to Hannah for the

547
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:29,840
invite this evening. As the Minnesota

548
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,760
Greenep City's co-director at the

549
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,240

achievement and progress in the

553
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,679
GreenStep program. Oakdale joined the

554
00:20:43,679 --> 00:20:46,799
program in March of 2012, reaching step

555
00:20:46,799 --> 00:20:49,600
one by signing a council resolution.

556
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,159
Since that time, the city has processed

557
00:20:52,159 --> 00:20:54,640
or progressed through all five steps of

558
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,120
the program uh and has achieved steps

559
00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:01,600
four and five. nine years in a row now.

560
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,960
Um you are one of the longest uh tenur

561
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,360
cities reaching step four and five uh in

562
00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:09,360
the program.

563
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:11,600
Oakdale has reported 55 actions

564
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,000
completing 20 of the 29 sustainability

565
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,559
best practices that range from education

566
00:21:16,559 --> 00:21:21,440
and outreach to um implementation and

567
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,039
infrastructure

568
00:21:23,039 --> 00:21:26,080
planning and policy and more.

569
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,440
Steps four and five are achieved

570
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,520
annually by reporting and annual

571
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,919
analyzing outcomes

572
00:21:31,919 --> 00:21:33,840
that those actions have had on the

573
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,840
community over time and showing

574
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,000
improvement in metrics.

575
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,159
The menu of metrics includes 125 unique

576
00:21:42,159 --> 00:21:44,320
data points of which Oakdale has

577
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,919
reported 90 in this last year. Um, and I

578
00:21:47,919 --> 00:21:50,240
wanted to highlight just a few of those

579
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,840
metrics that um kind of rose to our

580
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,559
attention as as um interesting and

581
00:21:56,559 --> 00:22:00,080
notable. So, between 2016 and 2025 of

582
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,240
all reporting years, Oakdale has seen an

583
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,720
increase in LED lighting used in city

584
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,960
buildings um grow from 2% in 2016 as

585
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,760
reported to 50% in 2025, maybe a little

586
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,600
bit more with some city hall remodeling.

587
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,919
The city added its first city-owned or

588
00:22:17,919 --> 00:22:19,919
leased electric vehicle to the city

589
00:22:19,919 --> 00:22:21,760
fleet in 2025 with the police

590
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,360
department.

591
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:26,080
100% of Oakdale's housing is located

592
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,039
within one mile of a bicycle route and

593
00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:32,320
96.5% is located within a half mile of a

594
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,000
parkland.

595
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,200
The city planted 347

596
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,880
net new trees in 2025 and gave away an

597
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,840
additional 200 trees um for free to

598
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,840
residents with the Arbor Day tree

599
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,440
giveaway.

600
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,440
Oakdale purchased just under 3,800

601
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,440
megawatt hours per year of renewable

602
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,720
energy for city operations in 2025,

603
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,400
which makes up 97% of total city

604
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,520
operation electricity needs. uh up from

605
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,159
0% in 2018.

606
00:23:06,159 --> 00:23:08,720
And the city f hosted its first eco in

607
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,600
April of 2025 with 18 vendors

608
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,240
representing local watershed district

609
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,159
energy nonprofits, garden clubs, and

610
00:23:16,159 --> 00:23:19,120
more. So with that, just a little

611
00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:22,240

>> Well, before we move on, I just want to

631
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,039
say um a big thank you to our team. Uh

632
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:38,480

00:24:53,679 --> 00:24:55,279
it's easy to just look at two little

641
00:24:55,279 --> 00:24:57,039
blocks of wood and say, "Yay, us." But

642
00:24:57,039 --> 00:24:58,480
there is so much data that goes into

643
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,000
these applications every single year.

644
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,600

00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,440

670
00:25:54,332 --> 00:25:57,590
» [applause]

671
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,840
» Uh we also have a couple proclamations

672
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,840
um that I'm issuing. Uh first up

673
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,679
recognizing building and code

674
00:26:03,679 --> 00:26:06,000
professional appreciation day. Uh

675
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,840
whereas building and code professionals

676
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,080
ensure that all aspects of building code

677
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,840
administration, code enforcement, rental

678
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,840
housing, licensing, and other duties are

679
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,120
per performed in a timely and

680
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:16,960
professional manner. And whereas

681
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,480
building and code professionals devote

682
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,000
countless hours keeping up with

683
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,520
regulation changes that affect the

684
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:22,720
building and code enforcement

685
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,760
industries. And whereas uh building and

686
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,600
code professionals are primarily out in

687
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:28,960
the field where they can encounter rough

688
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,440
terrain, heights, depths, narrow spaces,

689
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,880
construction equipment and activities,

690
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,960
unfavorable weather, especially in

691
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,600
Minnesota. Uh I rate people hopefully

692
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,480
not canines and other potential hazards.

693
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,720
Uh whereas despite hazards, building and

694
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,400
code professionals are fully dedicated

695
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,159
to ensuring that buildings are built

696
00:26:46,159 --> 00:26:48,000
strong, they're built safe, and they

697
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,240
remain secure um for everybody in our

698
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,600
community. And whereas the city of

699
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,200
Oakdale strongly supports the skilled

700
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,400
work of its building and code

701
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,480
professionals. Therefore, I mayor of

702
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,080
Oakdale, Minnesota, do hereby proclaim

703
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,679
September 1st as building and code

704
00:26:59,679 --> 00:27:01,600
professional appreciation day in the

705
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,080
city of Oakdale. Um we are incredibly

706
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,159
fortunate to have an outstanding team

707
00:27:06,159 --> 00:27:09,279
here in our city. Um, it falls under our

708
00:27:09,279 --> 00:27:11,039
community development department. Um,

709
00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:12,640
you know, Greg Brady, our chief building

710
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,640
official, man, we have thrown a lot at

711
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,080
him the last few years. As you look at

712
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,520
all of the building that's happening in

713
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,760
our community in the east metro, um,

714
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,760
every day is something new. And that

715
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,400
work is done on top of just those daily

716
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,000
duties. You know, enforcing the city

717
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,760
code, doing the rental license

718
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,600
inspections, all of that necessary work

719
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,919
that happens whether a community is is

720
00:27:31,919 --> 00:27:34,080
building and developing or not. um they

721
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,440
cover so much ground and uh we could not

722
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,600
be a city, a safe city, a stable city

723
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,200
without their efforts. So we really do

724
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,320
thank them for everything they

725
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,880
contribute to our community.

726
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,039
Our second proclamation is recognizing

727
00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:49,039
suicide prevention awareness month.

728
00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:50,720
Whereas suicide is a national public

729
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,240
health challenge that causes

730
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,000
immeasurable pain among individuals,

731
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,520
families, and communities across the

732
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,000
country. And whereas more than 800 lives

733
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,480
are lost in Minnesota each year. And

734
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,159
whereas suicide is the second leading

735
00:28:02,159 --> 00:28:05,520
cause of death for people ages 10 to 24.

736
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,080
And whereas on average 132 Americans die

737
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,559
by suicide each day and over two million

738
00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:13,600
attempt suicide each year. And whereas

739
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,360
public awareness of this tragic problem

740
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:17,039
is key to preventing further suffering

741
00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:19,919
and loss of life. And whereas the risk

742
00:28:19,919 --> 00:28:21,440
for suicide can be reduced through

743
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,320
awareness, education, and treatment.

744
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,720
And whereas everyone in in the community

745
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,399
can play a role in preventing suicide

746
00:28:28,399 --> 00:28:30,480
and are encouraged to know the signs,

747
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,720
find the words, and reach out. And

748
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,320
whereas depression is a treatable

749
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,240
illness and approximately 80% of people

750
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,000
who seek help for depression experience

751
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,600
improvement when treated with therapy

752
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,600
and/or medication.

753
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,120
And whereas support is available by

754
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,720

awareness month in the city of Oakdale.

762
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,559
You know, each year it seems like the

764
00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:06,960

765
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,720
the charts. You know, we all know that

766
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,520

767
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,360

773
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,120
those professions uh those individuals

774
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,360
in those professions as well. In Oakdale

775
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,840
we're incredibly proud to be um now

776
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,679

783
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,640

because the need has been there for so

787
00:29:54,559 --> 00:29:56,799

but as I said, it's all it's an all year

790
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,880
um long endeavor that we all need to

791
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,360
play a role in recognizing the science

792
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,200
of it, providing the support for those

793
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,000
individuals um facing those those

794
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,679
challenges in life and getting them to

00:30:11,679 --> 00:30:13,919
the resources they need um to help

796
00:30:13,919 --> 00:30:16,320

797
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,320
forum. Um this is a time for anybody

798
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,240

the record, and proceed with your

804
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:34,870
comments.

805
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,279
Before we move on from open forum, that

806
00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:40,240
stat 96.5% of all homes in Oakdale are

807
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,320
within one mile, I think it was one mile

808
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:43,840
or half mile of parkland. I want to know

809
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,399
where that three and a half% are. We got

810
00:30:46,399 --> 00:30:48,799
a problem to fix. [laughter]

811
00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:51,840
>> We're having what 31 parks now. I I

812
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,000
cannot picture in my head where those

813
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,399
homes would be, but we have some work in

814
00:30:56,399 --> 00:30:59,039
front of us. So, all right, let's move

815
00:30:59,039 --> 00:31:00,799
into consensus motions. Council members,

816
00:31:00,799 --> 00:31:02,799
we have A through E in front of us. Are

817
00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:04,000
there any that we need to pull for

818
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,039
individual consideration?

819
00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:10,000
>> All right. Uh, hearing none. Can I get a

820
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,600
motion to approve consensus motions as

821
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:12,799
presented?

822
00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:14,240
Make a motion to approve consensus

823
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,520
motions as presented.

824
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,480
>> Motion. Is there a second?

825
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:16,880
>> Second.

826
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,159
>> Motion in a second. All those in favor

827
00:31:18,159 --> 00:31:18,720
say I.

828
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:19,440
>> I. I.

829
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,600
>> Opposed. And A through E are adopted. Uh

830
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,039
let's check in with our advisory boards

831
00:31:25,039 --> 00:31:26,640
and commissions. The only one that met

832
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,520
was parks and wreck. They met on last

833
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:30,320
Tuesday. Yeah.

834
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:30,799
>> Mhm.

835
00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:32,720
>> A week ago. Council member Morham, what

836
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:33,760
are they working on?

837
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,039
>> Yeah, I know. We talked about the

838
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:37,600
excitement around the new parks. Excuse

839
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,559
me. Here.

840
00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:41,840
uh the new parks that are going to be

841
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,919
worked on Tower and Golf View. Also, the

842
00:31:43,919 --> 00:31:45,679
engagement coming up for Tanners and

843
00:31:45,679 --> 00:31:46,799
there's been a lot of engagement.

844
00:31:46,799 --> 00:31:48,559
There's more coming this week about up

845
00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:50,640
upgrades there. And also next month

846
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:51,679
they're going to be holding their

847
00:31:51,679 --> 00:31:55,200
walking tour at uh Everly Park. So,

848
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,120
their meeting for parks and wreck will

849
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,840
be there and that'll be shared out

850
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:00,960
publicly soon.

851
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,960
>> Fantastic.

852
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,880
Once we get that date set and out there,

853
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,120
we hope everybody can join us in Everly.

854
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,000
Uh we'll move on to award bids. Nothing

855
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,679
under there. So, we'll go into staff

856
00:32:11,679 --> 00:32:15,279
reports. Uh we have a presentation from

857
00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:16,559
community development. We got a few

858
00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:19,519
items.

859
00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:22,559
Thank you again, Mayor Council. So,

860
00:32:22,559 --> 00:32:25,519
uh this next request is from Les Schwab.

861
00:32:25,519 --> 00:32:27,440
The property is located at the southeast

862
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,000
quadrant of 34th Street and Marketplace

863
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,840
just uh it's located west of the

864
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,480
McDonald's there by Target. Uh the

865
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,320
purpose of the request is that Lehwab

866
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,080
Tire Center, they're seeking approval to

867
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,240
build an automotive service and repair

868
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,640
business. The request involves a

869
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,880
preliminary plat to create three lots

870
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,039
and a site plan. So the property in

871
00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:49,120
total is about 7 and a half acres. It's

872
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,279
vacant land. The zoning of the site is

873
00:32:51,279 --> 00:32:53,519
Oakdale Marketplace uh planned unit

874
00:32:53,519 --> 00:32:55,679
development or PUD. So if you recall

875
00:32:55,679 --> 00:32:57,360
that in response to a court order, the

876
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,360
city recently approved an ordinance

877
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,200
amendment and a resolution to allow the

878
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,080
proposed use at the site. So the

879
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,039
preliminary plat involves proposed lot

880
00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:08,960
one, which is about 1 acre, and that

881
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,440
would contain the tire store. Uh the

882
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,760
other two outlots consisting of about 1

883
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,840
acre and 5 acres would be reserved for

884
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,240
future development. The proposed access

885
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,880
to the Le Schwab site is off of 33rd

886
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,120
Street. That's a private street. for

887
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,960
park dedication that has to be satisfied

888
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,039
as part of the platting and development

889
00:33:27,039 --> 00:33:28,960
agreement process. A credit will be

890
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,039
given for the park dedication that was

891
00:33:31,039 --> 00:33:32,720
collected for the overall plat of

892
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,559
Oakdale Marketplace back in the year

893
00:33:34,559 --> 00:33:36,399
2005.

894
00:33:36,399 --> 00:33:38,240
In terms of the site plan, certain

895
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,240
elements uh including building height,

896
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,840
setbacks, lot coverage, parking,

897
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,519
landscaping, exterior building

898
00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:45,519
materials, and site lighting. Those have

899
00:33:45,519 --> 00:33:47,760
been met. I would like to note that the

900
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,080
developer made a slight update to their

901
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,480
site plan to include six extra parking

902
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:57,120
spaces and a larger trash enclosure which complies with the site

903
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,360
plan requirements for storm water

904
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:00,880
management. The developer will need to

905
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,320
work with the wershed district and the

906
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,559
city engineer to ensure that proper

907
00:34:04,559 --> 00:34:07,279
provisions are installed accordingly.

908
00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:08,960
And due to the property being located

909
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,599
next to county highway 14, Washington

910
00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:13,839
County Public Works reviewed the request

911
00:34:13,839 --> 00:34:15,440
and they did not have any comments on

912
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,359
it. The planning commission held the

913
00:34:17,359 --> 00:34:18,960
required public hearing for this request

914
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,879
on August 6th and they recommended

915
00:34:20,879 --> 00:34:23,040
approval. So staff recommends approval

916
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,200
of the plat and site plan subject to

917
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,159
conditions in the resolutions. Uh so

918
00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:30,720
first is resolution 2026-53

919
00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:32,560
in the agenda packet. So five conditions

920
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,280
of approval that I will summarize here.

921
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:36,800
The number one is execution of a

922
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,159
development agreement. Number two is

923
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:40,960
appro uh seek approval of the site civil

924
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,879
construction plans. Number three

925
00:34:42,879 --> 00:34:44,320
satisfaction of park dedication

926
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:45,839
requirements. Number four, obtain

927
00:34:45,839 --> 00:34:47,679
approval from the fire department for

928
00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:49,440
the location of fire department

929
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,960
connections and hydrants. And number

930
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,760
five, the developer must obtain outside

931
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,079
government agency approvals that apply

932
00:34:56,079 --> 00:34:58,560
to the proposal.

933
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,520
Uh the other resolution for the site

934
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,839
plan, that's 2026-54.

935
00:35:03,839 --> 00:35:05,680
I will forgo reading those conditions

936
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,520
because they are redundant from the

937
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,119
other resolution that I just mentioned.

938
00:35:09,119 --> 00:35:10,960
But happy to answer any questions. Thank

939
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:11,359
you.

940
00:35:11,359 --> 00:35:14,160
>> Council members, any questions for Luke?

941
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,599
Seeing none, who would like to make the

942
00:35:15,599 --> 00:35:17,520
resolutions?

943
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,720
>> I recommend we wave reading and adopt

944
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:25,589
resolution 2026-53

945
00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:28,000

00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,000
to conditions.

948
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,760
>> There's a motion. Is there a second?

949
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:34,240
>> Second.

950
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:36,560

>> I.

953
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,560
>> Opposed. Resolution 2026-53 is adopted.

954
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,079
How about the next action?

955
00:35:44,079 --> 00:35:46,560
>> I recommend we wave reading and adopt

956
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,880
resolution 2026-54

957
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,680
approving the site plan for Lewab

958
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:54,960
subject to conditions.

959
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,160
>> There's a motion. Is there a second?

960
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:56,640
>> Second.

961
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,200
>> Motion a second. Any final comments?

962
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,560
>> All those in favor say I.

963
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,240
>> I. Opposed. Resolution 2026-54 is

964
00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:05,839
adopted.

965
00:36:05,839 --> 00:36:08,560
Uh next up on the agenda, Luke, are you

966
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,480
do you have a presentation for this one?

967
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,680
>> Yes. Thank you. So, Josiah Center is

968
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,680
requesting a conditional use permit to

969
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,079
allow a church at 533 Hayward Avenue

970
00:36:18,079 --> 00:36:20,480
North, unit 100. The property is zoned

971
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,079
B3. That's our light industrial

972
00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:24,000
district. Places of worship are

973
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,359
permitted through the conditional use

974
00:36:25,359 --> 00:36:27,200
permit process for all zoning districts

975
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,680
in Oakdale. [clears throat] Uh after

976
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,680
review, the proposed church meets the

977
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,680
criteria for granting a conditional use

978
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,680
permit and the zoning ordinance and

979
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,550
staff's analysis of the request.

980
00:36:37,550 --> 00:36:37,599
>> [clears throat]

981
00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:39,119
>> The planning commission held the public

982
00:36:39,119 --> 00:36:42,000
hearing for this application on August 6

983
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,839
and they recommended approval. Staff

984
00:36:43,839 --> 00:36:46,480
recommends approval of this CUP subject

985
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,640
to just one condition and this is in

986
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,440
resolution 2026-56.

987
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,160
So no parking signage shall be installed

988
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,000
along the east drive aisle and along the

989
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,520
north side of the building and that's

990
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,839
just to ensure that we can adequately

991
00:36:59,839 --> 00:37:02,320
have our emergency vehicles navigate the

992
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,440
site for the church. Yeah, happy to

993
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:06,880
answer questions. Thank you. Council

994
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,240
members, any questions for Luke on this

995
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:09,440
item? [clears throat]

996
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,359
>> All right. Who wants to dive right in?

997
00:37:11,359 --> 00:37:13,040
>> I move we wave reading and adopt

998
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,520
resolution 2026-56

999
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,440
approving a conditional use permit for a

1000
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,240
place of worship church at 533 Hayward

1001
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:22,000
Avenue North with conditions included in

1002
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,200
the attached resolution.

1003
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:24,640
>> There's a motion. Is there a second?

1004
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:25,040
>> Second.

1005
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,520
>> Motion and a second. Final comments. All

1006
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:28,640
those in favor say I.

1007
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:29,200
>> I.

1008
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,839
>> Opposed. Resolution 2026-56 is adopted.

1009
00:37:33,839 --> 00:37:36,000
Last item. Luke.

1010
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,040
Thank you. So, this final request uh for

1011
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:40,720
a conditional use permit, it's from True

1012
00:37:40,720 --> 00:37:42,720
Line Sign Company and MC Geneva

1013
00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:44,880
Properties LLC. They're requesting a

1014
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,560
conditional use permit amendment to

1015
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,920
allow for a 24 square ft electronic

1016
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,040
dynamic business sign at 1267 Geneva. So

1017
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,960
there was previously an 11 square foot

1018
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,880
electronic sign on that property that

1019
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,800
was approved back in 2010, but this

1020
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,920
amendment is to of course enlarge or

1021
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,320
allow a much larger electronic sign

1022
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,960
there. Property is zone B1 commercial

1023
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,119
and it contains an existing multi-tenant

1024
00:38:09,119 --> 00:38:11,040
commercial building. The proposed

1025
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,359
electronic dynamic business sign meets

1026
00:38:13,359 --> 00:38:15,440
the general and specific criteria of the

1027
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,000
zoning ordinance. and staff's analysis

1028
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,520
of the request. The planning commission

1029
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,119
held the required public hearing for

1030
00:38:21,119 --> 00:38:23,839
this application on August 6th and they

1031
00:38:23,839 --> 00:38:26,079
recommended approval. So, as such, staff

1032
00:38:26,079 --> 00:38:28,079
is recommending approval of this request

1033
00:38:28,079 --> 00:38:30,320
subject to eight conditions in the

1034
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,800
resolution 2026-55

1035
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,680
in the agenda packet. So, do my best to

1036
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,599
summarize these conditions here. So,

1037
00:38:37,599 --> 00:38:39,359
number one is that the sign shall be

1038
00:38:39,359 --> 00:38:41,839
installed on the existing sign, pylon

1039
00:38:41,839 --> 00:38:43,760
sign or a replacement pylon sign if the

1040
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,000
existing pylon sign is removed. Number

1041
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,839
two, the sign shall have a minimum

1042
00:38:47,839 --> 00:38:50,160
display duration of 30 seconds. Number

1043
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,680
three, um only static messages on the

1044
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,320
sign. Number four, the sign cannot

1045
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,640
exceed 24 square ft in size. And number

1046
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,640
five, uh the sign shall not exceed 2500

1047
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,280
knits between the hours of civil sunrise

1048
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,200
and sunset. Um actually, so number six

1049
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,280
is a modification or a modified

1050
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:12,720
condition from the planning commission

1051
00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:15,920
when uh we brought that to them. Uh, so

1052
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,000
the sign because it's next to

1053
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,240
residential property, it's subject to

1054
00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:22,800
having more restrictive illumination

1055
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,800
standards at at night time from 10 p.m.

1056
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,160
to 6:00 a.m. It cannot exceed uh 250

1057
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,920
nits. Number seven, the sign shall have

1058
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,960
a functional off switch that uh

1059
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,040
automatically turns the display off if

1060
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,000
the display deteriorates by 10% or more.

1061
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,839
And finally, number eight, the applicant

1062
00:39:41,839 --> 00:39:43,520
must obtain a signed permit through the

1063
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,359
city. Happy to answer questions. Thank

1064
00:39:45,359 --> 00:39:46,000
you.

1065
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,440
>> Council members, any questions for Luke

1066
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,480
on this cup? Seeing none, who wants to

1067
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,359
