B. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Buck to approve the minutes of the January 14, 2008 regular meeting. Motion carried. C. PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. Consider Application 2008-01 for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a public charter school to rent out a portion of the building at 3420 Nevada Ave N. Staff member, Jason Zimmermann, summarized the staff report. The public hearing was opened. None were heard. Commissioner Whitenack closed the public hearing. Planning Commission discussion was opened. Commissioner Sears asked if the parking is ample, including Handicap designated parking spaces. Mr. Zimmermann stated that there are 8 to 10 Handicap designated parking spaces on site. There is need for additional signage. And that the handicapped spaces are included in the total number of spaces provided. G:\PLANNING\PLANCOMM\2008\03.10\minutes. doc Page 2 of 4 Commissioner Whitenack noted that there appears to be about a net gain of 10 students initially with increases in coming years. He asked how the parking is determined. Mr. Zimmermann explained that there is one parking space per classroom. The current parking plan exceeds the minimum requirements. The church has expressed interest in increasing the parking at some future date. Mr. Whitenack asked if the charter school would have great success and traffic increases what can we do. Mr. Zimmermann indicated any complaints generated as the result of additional students would initiate a staff review of the site and Planning Commission/Council review if needed. Commissioner Nystrom asked if there had been concern expressed by the neighbors about the parking or traffic. Mr. Zimmermann stated that he has not received any complaints about the current parking and traffic at the site. In addition one e-mail had been received with questions as to whether all parking will be maintained on site, or if it will spill onto the street. Hearing no further comments or questions from the commission the discussion was closed. Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Davis to recommend to the City Council to approve Application 2008-01 for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a public charter school to rent out a portion of the building at 3420 Nevada Ave N. Findings of Fact are as recommended by staff. Motion carried. 2. Consider Application 2008-02 for a Preliminary and Final Plat to divide 6622 46th Avenue North into two lots for new single family houses. Staff member, Jason Zimmermann, presented the staff report. Commissioner Whitenack noted a discrepancy between the aerial photo and the lot line on the survey as it relates to 6610 46th Ave N. Mr. Zimmermann indicated that the garage on the aerial photo is no longer there. A new garage and driveway have been installed since the aerial photograph was taken. The public hearing was opened. None being heard, the public hearing was closed. The Planning Commission discussion was opened with Commissioner Sears asking if there was any need to do the curb cuts right away on the EDA lots when the lots have not been sold. G: \P LANNING\PLANCOMM\200 8\03.10\ininutes. doc Page 3 of 4 Mr. Zimmermann indicated that once a builder purchases the property the curb cuts will —1 be completed. Mr. Sutter commented that the EDA recognizes the uncertainty as to when the properties will sell. Curb cuts will not be done until a Purchase Agreement is signed on the lots. The EDA is very conscious of the costs when lots and houses are not selling. These two lots, however, are particularly nice, on recently redone streets and may actually appeal to more builders than some of the other lots. Commission Nystrom inquired as to whether the two lots could be put back together and one home be built on the two lots. Mr. Sutter stated that this is unlikely as the two lots would be $140,000 and the market is not likely to support a home on that highly priced lot. Commissioner Buck asked if the two lots are close to standard size. Mr. Zimmermann stated that each lot is pretty standard and previously this was essentially a double lot. Commissioner Buck further questioned the EDA's roll in this process. Mr. Zimmermann explained that the EDA will review the housing proposals and stated that zoning regulates height and setbacks. Commissioner Sears expressed concern about the new houses not fitting into the surrounding neighborhood. Mr. Sutter explained that Crystal remains a place of modestly priced single family houses relative to the rest of the metro region, but the new houses will be much larger than the adjacent houses because a half century has passed and the market and buyer expectations have changed. Hearing no further discussion, Commissioner Whitenack closed the discussion. Moved by Commissioner VonRueden and seconded by Commissioner Sears to recommend to the City Council to approve Application 2008-02 for a Preliminary and Final Plat to divide 6622 46th Avenue North into two lots for new single family houses. Findings of Fact are as outlined in the staff report. Motion carried. D. NEW BUSINESS 1. Consider request from Diversified Construction, representing Fieldhouse Sports Tavern and Grill, to extend the deadline to begin and complete work for a previously approved Conditional Use Permit at 5632 West Broadway. Mr. Zimmermann explained that the Conditional Use Permit was approved in 2006. In 2007 a potential buyer considered completing the work, but nothing happened. The Fieldhouse Sports -- Tavern has made a written request to extend the deadline to March 21, 2008 to begin work. Staff recommends approving their request as the scope of the work has not changed. G: \PLANNING\P LANCOMM\2008\03.10\minutes. doc Page 4 of 4 Commissioner Whitenack asked if we are recommending the dates as outlined in their letter. Mr. Zimmermann said yes, however the commission could consider extending the completion date to March 21, 2009, in case there are further delays. Moved by Commissioner Whitenack and seconded by Commissioner Davis to recommend to City Council to approve the request from Diversified Construction to extend the deadline to begin and complete the work for the previously approved Conditional Use Permit at 5632 West Broadway, extending the begin date to March 21, 2008 and completion date to March 21, 2009. Motion carried. E. GENERAL INFORMATION 1. City Council actions on recent Planning Commission items 2. Staff preview of likely agenda items for April 14, 2008 meeting We will likely be reviewing a request for a variance for Arby's. 3. Reminder: Appreciation dinner on Thursday, April 10th F. OPEN FORUM None heard. G. ADJOURMENT Moved by Commissioner Buck and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m. Motion carried. G: \PLANNING\PLANCOMM\2008 \03.10\minute s. doc M E M O R A N D U M DATE: April 9, 2008 TO: Planning Commission (April 14th meeting) FROM: Jason Zimmermann, Code Enforcement and Zoning Administrator SUBJECT: Public Hearing.: Application 2008-03 for a Variance to reduce the east setback at 5629 West Broadway (Arby's). A. BACKGROUND The applicant intends to build an addition and a column -supported roof area onto the east side of the existing building. However, the existing building encroaches 10.5 feet into the 30 foot setback required by current city code. It also encroaches 2.5 feet into the 22 foot setback that was required in 1971 when the building was built and in 1980 and 1988 when the building was remodeled. The proposed project would include construction of a 3 foot addition on the east side of the building, this addition would not comply with the current code's 30 foot setback requirement. It wouldalso include the construction of a column -supported roof area which is subject to the same setback requirements and therefore would increase the setback encroachment from 10.5 feet to 14 feet. City code does not allow the building to be expanded because it does not comply with current city code. In addition, it cannot be expanded because the 1980 and 1988 remodeling was inconsistent with the approved building plans and city code in effect at the time and because the proposed project would increase the encroachment in the setback. The current 30 foot setback took effect in 2004 when the code was amended. However, this change did not make the building non -conforming. The building was already non -conforming due to the encroachment of the past additions contrary to the city -approved building plans. Because the proposed additions would expand an existing nonconforming structure, the addition cannot be built unless a variance is granted to reduce the east setback. The applicant has applied for such a variance. Notice of the April 14, 2008 public hearing was mailed to all property owners within 350 feet of the subject property on April 2, 2008. The following Exhibit; are attached: A. 2006 aerial photo showing the location of the property. B. Narrative submitted by applicant. C. Certificate of survey. VARIANCE - SETBACK - 5629 WEST BROADWAY PAGE 1 OF 3 D. Site plan. E. Site plans from 1971, 1980, 1988 and 1992. F. Photo of existing structure submitted by applicant. G. Rendering of proposed changes. B. STAFF COMMENTS/SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT In order for a variance to be granted, state law and city code require that all three of the following criteria be met: ■ The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used as required by the code. The property can be put to reasonable use if used as required by the code. The use as a restaurant can continue without the need for a variance. Interior work and cosmetic changes to the exterior can be done without having to expand the non -conforming structure. ® The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the property owner. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances created by same. Additions to the building in 1980 and 1988 were inconsistent with the approved building plans and city code in effect at the time. Therefore, the building has been an unlawful non -conforming structure since the additions were completed. ■ The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. It will alter the character of the locality. The building already sits too close to the adjacent sidewalk and road. The addition and column -supported roof will shift the building closer to the sidewalk and road. In addition, state law and city code specifically state that economic considerations alone do not constitute an undue hardship if a reasonable use for the property exists under the code. C. RECOMMENDATION Deny the requested variance from 515.49 Subd. 7 d) 1) to reduce the east setback from 30 feet to 16 feet. Suggested findings of fact are as articulated in Section B above. Planning Commission action is requested. Findings of fact addressing whether or not the three variance criteria are met should be included in the motion. The Planning Commission may choose to use staff's recommended findings of fact by reference in the motion. VARIANCE - SETBACK - 5629 WEST BROADWAY PAGE 2 OF 3 City Council would consider this variance request and the Planning Commission's recommendation on May 6, 2008.

Many of our restaurants have been in their current locations for many years and are fixtures within their community. Currently, Arby's is implementing a major program to upgrade the brand image and began an expansive remodel program this year. Instead of closing an existing restaurant and moving to a new development, Arby's believes there are certain locations that would be better served through an extensive remodel of both the interior and exterior of the building. The remodel program includes adding our signature pinnacle element to all of the buildings we remodel. All of our new prototype buildings include the signature pinnacle element. Arby's is striving to develop the pinnacle element into the signature element by which we are recognized similar to the golden arches of our competitor. In reference to the Undue Hardship we offer the following comments as requested. (i) The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used as required by code. Without this variance Arby's cannot proceed with the changes and our building will continue to be "out of date". As noted on the City's website, the Crystal Economic Development Authority believes one of the ways to achieve its goals is "through the redevelopment of properties for increased business or industrial operations, in order to enhance the City's tax base and create job opportunities. Arby's believes we would be doing this with our Remodel. (ii) The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the property owner. The setbacks have changed over time, thus making it nonconforming. During our due diligence process, it was discovered that when the restaurant was remodeled in 1984 and again in 1992, the additions that were built onto the existing curved roof restaurant encroached on the then 22' setback by about 2 '/2 feet. Since that time, the code has been amended and the current setback is now 30'. As can be seen on the survey, there are several areas of the building that are currently out of compliance. These areas range from approximately 7 '/2 feet to approximately 11 %2 feet. (iii). The variance, if grantE�d, will not alter the essential character of the locality. This is true and in many ways, we will be improving the character in regards to it's new and more updated surroundings. We will not be changing the footprint of the building, but more overall the appearance. We will be changing the roofline and giving the whole building a more updated look. See enclosE�d Renderings. Arby's chose the Crystal location in part because we feel the improved appearance will increase our sales in the area. The increased sales for Arby's will provide increases in the sales taxes for the City of Crystal. In addition, the upgrades will improve the property values of not only the Arby's but also the surrounding property again, providing a tax benefit to the City of Crystal. In addition, we are requesting the variance to allow us to add our signature pinnacle element to the front of the building. This addition would be out of conformance with the current 30' setback but would not extend beyond the existing corners of the building that are currently nonconforming. The pinnacle element will only extend 3' from the front of the existing building which would be inside the original 22' setback and would extend into the setback area less than the current building corners. Arby's strongly believes if allowed to construct the signature pinnacle element, not only will Arby's benefit but the City of Crystal, the surrounding businesses and surrounding property owners will also benefit. We appreciate your consideration in this matter.
