MT did not exercise its option before expiry in May 2014, but in July the EDA approved applying the option fees to the purchase price as if the option had not expired. The lot price is $50,000. MT has a Minnesota Residential Building Contractor license with no enforcement actions. The house would be a two story with an attached two car garage. The upper floor would have 893 sq. ft. with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main floor would have 785 sq. ft. with an open living-dining-kitchen area and half bath. The basement would have 785 unfinished sq. ft. with at least one egress window and a roughed-in bathroom for future finishing. The house would be similar to one that MT built and sold in 2013 at 4343 Xenia. The house would be set back 56 feet from the front lot line instead of the normal 30 feet to provide a visually open area alongside the adjacent existing house at 4355 which is only set back 20 feet from the front lot line. The lot sale guidelines call for a detached garage off the alley, similar to the Zane lots/houses on the other side of the block. However, because this lot is 5 feet wider than the Zane lots, and also because most houses on this side of the block have driveways using Xenia instead of the alley, the EDA has previously agreed to allow the attached garage. It should be noted that the homeowner could later add a second, detached garage off of the alley if the attached two car garage ultimately proves too small. Lot sale closing is scheduled for September 15, 2014 with house completion anticipated for late 2014. MT has listed the house as a"to be builY' for $250,000 but has a likely buyer for the house. The proposed resolution, 2012 aerial photo, site sketch and house plan are attached. REQUESTED EDA ACTION: After holding the public hearing and receiving any testimony, consider adopting the attached resolution authorizing the property sale.

FROM: John Sutter, Ci#y PlannerlAssistant Community De�elopment Direc#or � DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW: Patrick Peters, Community Development Director DATE: TO: August 13, 2014 Anne Norris, City Manager �for August 19 meeting} SUBJECT: Consider a variance to reduce the sign setback from 10 feet to 1 foot from the front lot line at 5120 56th Av�nue North A. B. BACKGROUND The subject property is a 2,400 sq. ft. retail stor� b�ilt in 1965 on a 22,205 sq. ft. lot zoned C-1 Neighborhood Commercial anci bounded on each side by property zoned R-1 Low Density Residential. The applicant proposes a freestanding (pole} sign which is required to be set back at least 5D feet from the adjacent residential �ot lines and 10 fee# from the front lot line. Due to the limitec! space between the building and the lot line along 56�h A�enue, the applicant is requesting a �ariance to be as close as 1 foot from the 56t" A�enue lot line instead of the required 10 feet. Notice of the Planning Commission's August 11, 2014 public hearing was mailed to property owners within 350 feet and published in the Sun Post on July 31, 2014. Staff has received no comments to date. The following Exhibits are attached: A. 2012 aerial photo B. 20'f 3 satellite phota and street view images C. Site sketch D. Applicant's narrative STAFF COMMENTS State statute* rEquires �ariances to meet a11 three of the follawing criteria: PAGE 1 OF 3 � 1 � 1 1 . .\... ....! \ .•.. _ . .!. ■ .. The property awner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner nat permitted by an official control; and the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to th� property not created by the fandowner; and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. *!n 2019 sfafe law was changed fo replace the `undue hardship' criteria for variances with much easier-to-meet `pracfical difficulfy' crrteria. Nofwithstanding fhe `undue hardship' criferia siill presenf in fhe city's sign code, the cify will apply the state's `practical difficulty' criteria due fo preemption. The requested variance meets all three criteria in the statute: The property is a sma11 commercial use embedded in a residential neighborhood, with single famiiy homes on bot� sides. City cade requires freestanding signs io meet both a 5� foot setback from adjacent residential lot lines and a 10 foot setback from the front lot line along 56t�'. The installation of a freestanding sign that meets the 50 foot setback bu# no# the 10 foot setback is a reasanable use of the property, provided that the following conditions are imposed: ■ A maximum height restriction of 16 feet instead of the standard 25 fee�, to be consistent with the height of a si�gn located at 5600 56kh which is located next to a house at 5610 56t , and ■ A minimum distance of 8 feet from the parking lot to the bottom of the sign box/top of t�e pole, to reduce the chance of a vehicle collision with the sign box. 2. The property has ur�ique circumstances due to the combinatian of two factors: Its location between two residen#ial properties, which means that a freestanding sign may only b� located in a narrow swath down the middle of the lot; and the proximity of the �uilding to 56t" A�enue which means that a freestanding sign would have to be located in the dri�e aisle for the property's small customer parking area. With the variance, the pole would be located in a landscape area between �he parking lot curb and the lot line, and the sign may overhang the parking lot provided that the battom of the sign f�ox is at leas# 8 feet abo�e the parking lot. 3. The proposed �se would not alter the essential charac#er of the locality, provided that the increased prominence of the sign resul#ing from its reduced setback will be mitigated by it having a maximum height of 16 fee# instead of the standard 25 feet. Approval is recommended based on these findings of fact. PAGE 2 OF 3 � 1 � 1 1 . .\... ....! \ .•.. _ . .!. ■ .. C. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMFNDATION At its August 11 meeting the Planning Commission voted 8-0 to recommend that the Council appra�e the requested variance to allow a#rees#anding sign to be � foot from the lot line along 56t�' instead of 10 feet, subject to the following conditions of approval: • A maximum height restriction of 16 feet instead of the standard 25 feet, to be consistent with the height of a sign at 5600 56t" Avenue North; and • A minimum distance of 8 feet from the parking lot to the bottom of the sign boxltop of the pole, to reduce the chance of a vehicle collision with the sign box. Council action is requested. The motion should reference the findings and conclusions in the staff report or include other #indings and conc4itions specifically stated by the Council.

Sign Varia�ce 5120 Bass �.ake Road We are requesting a varsance to the sfgrFage code for �iquor Liquidators at t�e a�c4r� mentior:e� acidress. This �ariance is in line with Crystal varia�c� 5tandards due to the foilowinb reas�7ns. 7he location }�rovides prac�ical difficulties. 7he rnandated sign placernent without �ne �iariance vuould {�ut the proposed sign directly in the midd!� of the �arking lot. This makes for da��geraus dri�ir�� conditions and poses substa�tial risk to the sign as w�i! a� �: �rcns autorno�iles. The location pro��des �nique circumsta�ces. Because the building is zone� resider.�.:aE, accorain� to �urrent standards, the sign rnust be 15 feet frorn the raad. Since the building is off-set i�rom �he ro�d it is diffic�lt for traffic traveli�g frorri either directEon ta see our establishment. A sign 15 feet r'rom th.� roac! woald be placed in the rr�idtfle of the parking lot and would still not be visibl� due ta rhe faliage in the a�ea. The �roperty would be used in a reascEia:�fc ri<<r.:�er� and wil! �ot alter the essentia! charact�r of t�e iocation. The sign would simpiy bring in rnore �usi�ness. "i he location wauld stil; be a 14�uor stare, �-:c� this �ariance would not change the surrounding area in Gny way. A sign would sir�oly be puj: se�eral f�� claser to the road t3�en is currently allowed. It is our opinian that this variance must be granted du� to ��e immir�ent dange�� a sign �n th� rniddle of �he �arking lat would pcse to both us ana our ;�atrons. The Yis� of sorneo3�� c?'i��"�g i�to the sign and injuring themsel�es, ar others, or causing r�ajor darrmage to automobiies �:nd ii��e s:gn itsel� is simply toa higF� under current signage codes.
