B. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Sears to approve the minutes of the April 14, 2008 regular meeting with the following exceptions: Commissioner Whitenack commented on Page 3 of 3 Item C., the second to last paragraph included the words "19 feet 16 feet', the "16 feet" should be deleted. Motion carried. C. PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. Consider Application 2008-04 for a Conditional Use Permit including Site Plan Review at 5400 Corvallis Ave N (former Cavanagh School). Staff member, Jason Zimmermann, summarized the staff report recommending approval of the Application for a Conditional Use Permit as outlined. This includes the Staff Comments and Recommendations as summarized in the staff report. Commissioner Whitenack expressed concern about the angled parking area and its setback from the new Corvallis Avenue. Mr. Sutter indicated that the reclaimed right-of- way will determine what setbacks may become, even so the first parking space will probably need to be eliminated. Commissioner Sears questioned whether it is necessary to have a state highway department review the street configuration as the traffic will exit to a service road. Mr. Sutter said that the plan had been reviewed with Hennepin County and they had no objection to the configuration. G:\PLANNING\PLANCOMM\2008\05.12\minutes.doc Page 2 of 3 Commissioner Sears also inquired about the street signage in the area of the school. Mr. Zimmermann stated that since 51St Avenue will be constructed to MSA standards and will provide a parking lane, at this time no additional signage would be needed. Mr. Sutter commented that the city always has the right to change street signage should an issue arise, for example, if parking on Corvallis generates complaints from adjacent residents. The Public Hearing was opened and the following were heard: Jim Gerber, Director of Facilities for ISD 281, stated that the district has no issues with the staff recommendations as outlined. He indicated that there are no plans to use this school as anything other than as it currently is. There may be minor adjustment of up to ten students and one staff member. Mr. Zimmermann addressed Commissioner Sears comment on this being the final action necessary for this property. Mr. Zimmermann indicated that this has been an unusual process for this property going back to approximately 2004. Mr. Sutter added that, as District 281 was still working out their long term plans, city streets were scheduled for redesign and there were uncertainties about the County 81 Project, it was necessary to delay final site improvement and Conditional Use Permit consideration until now. Commissioner Whitenack inquired as to whether there was anyone else who wished to address the commission regarding this issue. Donna Bratulich wished to mention the issues of the kids from the school running through the neighborhood and her belief that theft is up. She believes she speaks for many in the neighborhood. Her wish is the Highview Program be relocated. The Public Hearing was closed. As there was no further discussion from the Planning Commission the discussion was closed. Moved by Commissioner Buck and seconded by Commissioner Strand to recommend to the City Council to approve Application 2008-04 for a Conditional Use Permit including Site Plan Review at 5400 Corvallis Ave N (former Cavanagh School). Findings of Fact are as outlined in the staff report. Motion carried. D. NEW BUSINESS The Commission discussed the resignation of Commissioner Hester that was submitted to Mr. Sutter on May 8, 2008. Commissioner Buck volunteered to fill the position of Secretary vacated by Mr. Hester. A vote was taken for the acceptance of Commissioner Buck as Secretary. Motion carried G:\PLANNING\PLANCOMM\2008\05.12\minutes.doc Page 3 of 3 E. GENERAL INFORMATION 1. A summary of City Council actions on recent Planning Commission items was provided in writing by city staff. 2. Staff preview of likely agenda items for June 9, 2008 meeting indicated that no items had come in for the agenda, with the deadline being Friday, May 16, 2008. F. OPEN FORUM No Comments G. ADJOURMENT Moved by Commissioner VonRueden and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m. Motion carried. G:\PLANNING\PLANCOMM\2008\05.12\minutes.doe ME M OR AND U M BATE: July 9, 2008 TO: Planning Commission (for July 14, 2008 meeting) FROM: Jason Zimmermann, Code Enforcement and Zoning Administrator SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Application 2008-06 for text amendments to Sections 515.37 and 515.41 of the Zoning Code. Changes were recently made to move certain code provisions relating to driveways and curb cuts to more appropriate sections of City Code. These changes were adopted on March 3, 2008andtook effect on April 14, 2008. Part of these changes included "cleaning up" -portions of section 515 pertaining to the parking and storage of motor vehicles and recreational vehicles and equipment. These provisions were deleted from Section 515 (Zoning) because they were supplanted in August 2007 by new provisions in Section 1330 (Motor Vehicles and Recreational Vehicles and Equipment). Unfortunately, through the process of cutting and pasting, entire paragraphs from within Section 515.33 were mistakenly copied to Sections 515.37 and 515.41, when the only changes were to have been the re -lettering of paragraphs. The result is that we now have a new zoning ordinance in effect that does not appropriately regulate detached accessory structures and buildings in the R-2 and R-3 districts. The new ordinance rectifies these unintentional changes and reinstates the district provisions contained in the zoning code adopted in January 2004. Notice of the public hearing was published in the Sun Post on July 3, 2008. Planning Commission action on the proposed ordinance is requested. The City Council would consider the Planning Commission's recommendation at its meeting on August 4, 2008.

Page 2 of 3 First Reading: Adopted: Summary Publication: Effective Date: ATTEST: Janet Lewis, City Clerk ReNae J. Bowman, Mayor Page 3 of 3 DATE: July 9, 2008 TO: Planning Commission (July 14th meeting) FROM: Jason Zimmermann, Code Enforcement and Zoning Administrator SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Application 2008-07 for a Variance to allow an accessory building to be built closer to the street than the principal structure at 3733 Vera Cruz Avenue N (Bethany Russian Baptist Church). A. BACKGROUND The applicant intends to build an accessory building in its east parking lot. The storage shed would be 20 feet by 8 feet and be located next to the dumpster presently located near a landscape island. The shed would be closer to the street than the church. However, city code does not allow detached accessory structures to be located closer to an abutting street than the principal structure. Because the proposed shed would be located closer to the street than the church, the shed cannot be built unless a variance is granted to allow it to be located closer to the street. The applicant has applied for such a variance. Notice of the July 14, 2008 public hearing was mailed to all property owners within 350 feet of the subject property on July 2, 2008. The following Exhibits are attached: A. 2006 aerial photo showing the location of the property. B. Narrative submitted by applicant. C. Rendering of proposed shed. D. Site Plan. 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 cannot be put to reasonable use if used as required by the code. Reasonable use of the property includes having a permitted accessory use, which includes detached accessory buildings for storage. Current code VARIANCE - ACCESSORY STRUCTURE - 3733 VERA CRUZ AVE N PAGE 1 OF 2 precludes this property from having an accessory building since it cannot be located on the property in a manner in conformance with the code. ® The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the property owner. The property is unique in that it is fronted by streets on three sides. It's only side yard is narrow and does not create enough room for a detached structure to be built. ■ The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. The storage building will not alter the essential character of the locality. Storage sheds are permitted accessory uses in the R-1 Low Density Residential District and the proposed shed will look like any other storage shed that may be built on a residential property. 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 Approve the requested variance from Section 515.33 Subd. 3 e) 1) to allow a detached accessory structure to be located closer to an abutting street than the principal structure, subject to the following conditions: 1. A building permit application must be submitted for review and approval prior to constructing the shed. The exterior of the shed must be constructed of materials such as lap siding, which are typically used for accessory buildings in residential areas. 2. The dumpster must be effectively screened with a dumpster enclosure. Plans for the enclosure must be submitted along with the building permit application for the shed. 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. City Council would consider this variance request and the Planning Commission's recommendation on August 4, 2008.

BRBC committee would like to request a variance from the planning commission and city council for the use of utility supplies storage box. Supplies shed storage box will be used -strictly as the utility supplies room for cans with _ pains, cleaning chemicals, which are not allowed to be stored in public buildings, cans with fuel for lawn machines, lawn machines, ladders and some other church utility supplies. Based on some minor crime activity, which have been detected on a site of our property since we moved in the building in January 2002, Church Committee made decision to purchase a stronger type utility box. This Utility Box could be also named as a Metal Storage Trailer. In 2007 BRBC purchased such a type box for Church needs, with 8'x 8.5'x 19.5' dimensions and placed it on Church parking lot. There was no chance for us to place any type of storage adjacent to our building due to extremely short location of a Church property line to the Church building itself. The current location of the box is right behind oak trees and would be the furthest point from both Welcome and 38th Streets. I'll make sure it was placed at least 5' away from Mr. Truax's property line behind the Oak trees and trash container. Since the City of Crystal has an ordinance in regard of special use utility storages, we would like to re -build our strong Utility Storage Box into a Shed Box, which would be allowed to be used by the City of Crystal property code. Proposed Shed Box sketches and diagram of the exact location of the box will be sent to you alone with this latter including a $350.00 variance application fee by the end of a day.

Status Report PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL - STATUS OF PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SPECIAL LAND USE APPLICATIONS: African Food Market (.5736 Lakeland). On October 16, 2007, the City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit for a privately -owned community center within the building housing the African Food Market and other businesses. By the end of summer 2008, the property owner will have completed the remaining items (new sidewalk, curb cut removal, parking lot restriping, etc.) to comply with the city's conditions of approval. 2. Reliable Property Services (5712 Lakeland). On October 16, 2007, the City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit for outdoor storage related to a property maintenance service and equipment sales business. In spring 2008, the property owner completed landscape work to comply with the city's conditions of approval. 3. Crystal Park Station plat (excess CPRR property west of Douglas Drive). On October 16, 2007, the City Council approved the preliminary and final plat of Crystal Park Station. This plat will allow the Canadian Pacific railroad to sell off the property containing the old industrial uses north of the tracks and west of Douglas Drive. This plat approval does not include any changes to the buildings or site improvements; that would require separate Planning Commission and City Council approval, and no such applications have been made at this time. CPRR is presently in negotiations with prospective buyers of the excess property. The latest plan would involve demolition of the vacant building at 5225 Douglas Dr as well as the metal warehouse at 5163 Douglas Dr, with the owner of both buildings relocating into the former Mel -0 Honey building at 5201 Douglas Dr. 4. Cornerstone Church (3420 Nevada) - Conditional Use Permit for multiple institutional uses. On March 18, 2008, the City Council approved a conditional use permit for Lionsgate Academy, a public charter school focusing on students with autism, to lease a substantial portion of the Cornerstone Church (Olivet Baptist Church) building. This approval also included other continuing uses such as Happy Time Preschool and St. David's Early Childhood Development. Prior to Lionsgate Academy opening in fall 2008, some new parking lot striping, signage and other items must be completed to comply with the city's conditions of approval.

It will focus on the north and east parking lots and will include new curb & gutter, sidewalk, a trash enclosure, landscaping, and some additional parking spaces. The second phase will occur sometime in 2009-2011 concurrent with the reconstruction of CSAH 81 / Bottineau Blvd. It will include a new short-term parking area near the southwest corner of the building, as well as other site work related to the county project.
