D. PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Consider Application 2006-22 for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a
privately owned Community Center at 5736 Lakeland Avenue North.
Mr. Zimmermann stated that there was a revised version of the application was
received, and the commissioners have been given a copy of the revised staff report,
along with 2 letters objecting to the CUP for the community center, that were also
received by the city. Zimmerman stated that he would summarize the staff report
briefly. Mr. Zimmerman summarized the staff report outlining the findings of fact of
the original application and then summarized the staff report on the revised proposal.
Discussion commenced amongst the commissioners about the parking requirements, and
other clarification on this issue. Mr. Zimmermann stated that the alternate CUP would be
for. classroom/educational services only. Revised floor and site plans would need to be
submitted. West Metro Fire will review the revised floor plans and make their
recommendations. The conditions that are stated in the revised staff report must be met
prior to any use or occupancy.
Public Hearing opened.
L
Public Hearing closed.
Discussion continued among the commissioners and staff. Henry Addy stated that he
would like to start very soon and this is the third time he has submitted applications.
Addy stated the revised plans could be to the city this week, and asked the
commission to please consider his request. Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Sutter explained
what is required for applications and how those requirements are communicated to
applicants. Mr. Sutter also stated that the commission could possibly recommend to
the council to deny the original proposal and then continue the revised proposal until
the February meeting. That would give the applicant time to get the submission to the
city and staff could send out a revised notice of the original public hearing to the
neighbors. Commissioner Hester asked if there were other materials that the
commission should review prior to making a decision. Mr. Sutter and Mr.
Zimmermann explained that even if the revised request is approved tonight, the
applicant would still need to show a parking -compliant floor plan, and make the.
interior building modifications, prior to any use of the space.
Moved by Commissioner Buck and seconded by Commissioner Sears to recommend
to City Council to deny Application 2006-22 for an alternate Conditional Use Permit
to allow a privately -owned Community Center/Church at 5736 Lakeland Ave N.
Moved by Commissioner VonRueden and seconded by Nystrom to continue
Application 2006-22 for an alternate CUP for classroom/educational services until the
February meeting. Roll call vote: Sears, Davis Whitenack vote nay, Nystrom,
VonRueden, Buck, Hester, Scheibe, and Strand vote aye.
Motion carried.
Mr. Addy expressed his concerns to the commission about his previous applications.
M. Zimmerman stated the reasons for the denial of the two previous applications. Mr.
Sutter stated the city's policy for accepting applications and the requirements that go
along with the application.
2. Consider Application 2006-23 for a Variance to allow office building
expansion at 5747 West Broadway
Mr. Zimmermann summarized the staff report.
Chair Whitenack asked if the setback was 5' when the building was built. Mr.
Zimmerman stated there were no setbacks in place at that the time it was built.
Public hearing opened.
Joseph Squires, 5744 West Broadway expressed his concerns and asked that the
commission deny the variance.
Public hearing closed.
Discussion took place with the commissioners and staff. Commissioner Sears
expressed his concerns about traffic. Mr. Squire expressed his concerns about traffic
and safety. Commissioner Sears concurred. Mr. Zimmermann stated that there is an
existing curb cut on Kentucky. Mr. Sutter stated road has a rural section and the
county has discussed turning this segment of the road back to the Cities of Crystal,
New Hope and Brooklyn Park. Staff recommends putting in the parking lot if the
variance is approved, but the applicant does not need the variance to build the parking
lot. Commissioner Scheibe asked if the title company was in the building now or
would they be new and was that the reason for the parking lot. She expressed her
concerns with traffic in the area, and questioned whether the addition could be added
to a different part of the building. Mr. Zimmermann could not verify whether the title
company is new, and confirmed that the building is nonconforming so expansion is
not possible. Chair Whitenack asked when the building was constructed. Staff
concurred that it was built in the 1960s.
Moved by Commissioner VonRueden, seconded by Commissioner Sears to
recommend to the City Council to deny Application 2006-23 for a Variance to allow
office building expansion at 5747 West Broadway.
Motion carried.

Rezoning, and Site & Building Plan Review) for a 4 story, 75 -dwelling -unit
senior cooperative on a portion of the property at 3420 Nevada Avenue
North.
Mr. Sutter summarized the staff report. Mr. Sutter pointed out exhibits I and J are new
items that the developer has submitted to address the questions and concerns
previously expressed by the commission.
Discussion took place with the commissioners and staff. Commissioner Sears
expressed his concerns about fire safety. Mr. Sutter stated that West Metro is talking
with the developer about the size of the cul-de-sac for better access, and staff has not
yet received West Metro's final comments. Chair Whitenack expressed his concerns
about this building on this particular site. Commissioner Buck concurred.
Dave Dahl, of 3501 Louisiana Ave N stated his concerns about the height, location,
design and other aspects of this building and this project. Dahl also expressed his
concern about the recent zoning ordinance text -amendment.
Chair Whitenack asked Mr. Sutter why the commission is being asked to put this
back another month. Mr. Sutter replied that staff felt that the commission needs time
to review materials and see the site, and also that the commission's action didn't
occur prior to the provisions going into effect. Commissioner Davis stated that he was
pleased to see the efforts that were made by the developer.
Moved by Commissioner Davis and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to
recommend to continue Application 2006-14 for Planned Development (Preliminary

DATE: February 6, 2007
TO: Planning Commission (February 12th meeting)
FROM: John Sutter, City Planner
SUBJECT: CONTINUED FROM JANUARY 8, 2007 MEETING: Consider Application
2006-14 for Planned Development (Preliminary Plat, Rezoning, and Site &
Building Plan Review) for a 4 story, 75 -dwelling -unit senior cooperative on
a portion of the property at 3420 Nevada Avenue North.
In the interest of paper and energy conservation, please refer to the staff report and exhibits
previously provided for the January 8, 2007 meeting. If you need another copy of that report,
please contact Valerie at (763) 531-1072 and she will provide it to you.
A. BACKGROUND
Since the previous Planning Commission meeting, the developer has met with
representatives of the Barcelona Apartments. In response to concerns about the
building height and setback, the developer has submitted a revised site plan (attached)
showing the main north wall of the building set back 60 feet from the north lot line.
B. STAFF COMMENTS
The revised site plan would still require a building height setback waiver from the north
lot line. However, the waiver would reduce the setback by approximately 3 feet versus
the approximately 30 foot waiver previously requested by the developer. The word
`approximately' is used because building height is measured from the average finished
grade around the perimeter of the building, and the building height may be slightly
different due to the revised site plan. In any case, the revised site plan shows that the
main north wall would be set back 60 feet from the north lot line; or 59 feet measured to
the 1 foot bump -out at the northeast corner of the building.
C. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the application, subject to:
a. compliance with the conditions recommended in the staff report for the
January 8, 2007 meeting; and
b. the project being modified in accordance with the revised site plan
attached to this staff report for the February 12, 2007 meeting, showing
the main north wall of the proposed building being 60 feet from the north
lot line; and

PAGE 1 OF 3
C. submittal of revised detailed site and building plans prepared in
compliance with (a) and (b) above for staff review and approval prior to
action by the City Council.
2. A waiver from the east and west setbacks should be granted in accordance with
515.57 Subd. 3 f). Specifically, we recommend that the building height setback
requirements from the east and west boundaries of Lot 1 be waived and a 30
foot building setback shall be imposed. Recommended findings of fact to
support the waiver are as follows:
a. The proposed density, 20 units per acre, is less than the maximum of 22
units per acre allowed in High Density Residential areas. The 4 story
height is not being used as a way to maximize the number of units
allowed by the city on the site.
b. Compared with a 3 story building, a 4 story building results in a smaller
footprint on the site and more open space.
C. The proposed development represents a type of housing called for in the
Comprehensive Plan (pp. 60-66) and is consistent with the needs of the
community due to an aging population. Furthermore, the proposed
development would provide a type of senior housing not presently
available in Crystal.
d. The adjacent land uses will not be subject to significant impacts if the
waiver is granted and the project is approved as proposed. Specifically:
i) To the east, the development site faces the rear of an institutional
use, Olivet Baptist Church. As the current owner of the proposed
development site, they have endorsed the project as proposed.
The waiver would have no significant impact on their facility's
operations.
ii) To the west, the development site faces industrial property in the
City of New Hope. Notice was provided to the City of New Hope
and no objections have been received. The waiver would have no
significant impact on those land uses.
3. A waiver from the north setback should be granted in accordance with 515.57
Subd. 3 f). Specifically, we recommend that the building height setback
requirements from the north boundary of Lot 1 be waived and a 60 foot building
setback shall be imposed, measured to the main north wall of the building; or 59
feet measured to the 1 foot bump -out at the northeast corner of the building.
Recommended findings of fact to support the waiver are as follows:
a. The proposed density, 20 units per acre, is less than the maximum of 22
units per acre allowed in High Density Residential areas. The 4 story

height is not being used as a way to maximize the number of units
allowed by the city on the site.
b. Compared with a 3 story building, a 4 story building results in a smaller
footprint on the site and more open space.
C. The proposed development represents a type of housing called for in the
Comprehensive Plan (pp. 60-66) and is consistent with the needs of the
community due to an aging population. Furthermore, the proposed
development would provide a type of senior housing not presently
available in Crystal
d. The adjacent land uses will not be subject to significant impacts if the
waiver is granted and the project is approved as proposed. Specifically:
i) To the north, the development site faces the Barcelona Apartments
at 3501 Louisiana Avenue North. This property is zoned and
guided High Density Residential. The waiver will have no
significant impact on the Barcelona Apartments for the following
reasons:
■ From the south face of the Barcelona Apartments to the north
face of the proposed Applewood Pointe project, the distance
would be 154 feet. In an urbanized area, it is not unusual or
unreasonable for a resident to look out their window and see
another building 154 feet away.
Taking the 75 foot elevation differential (from the ground
elevation at the Barcelona Apartments to peak of the proposed
Applewood Pointe roof) and dividing it by the 186 foot horizontal
distance (from the south face of the Barcelona Apartments to
the peak of the proposed Applewood Pointe roof), the result is
an angle of less than 220. 50 of this is due to the existing
topography, so the portion attributable to the proposed building
is less than 170. These sorts of angles from the ground
elevation at one building to the top of another are reasonable
and appropriate for high density residential property. For that
matter, they would be appropriate for any property in any
developed environment, even one guided for less intense uses
than High Density Residential.
The two buildings would only overlap by approximately 60 feet,
meaning that the remaining approximately 230 feet of the south
face of the Barcelona Apartments would not directly face the
Applewood Pointe building in any case.
Planning Commission action is requested on the staff recommendation, comprising
items C (1), (2) and (3) above.

Dear Comprehensive Plan Task Force applicant:
At the request of several members of the City Council, today the City Manager directed staff to
remove the appointment of the eight general citizen representatives from the February 6, 2007
regular meeting agenda. This is being done to facilitate discussion by the Council regarding
the selection process. The next possible date for the City Council to make appointments
would be at its February 20, 2007 meeting. This would mean that the timetable would be
delayed approximately one month, so that the first task force meetinq would likely not occur
until March 22, 2007. We apologize for any inconvenience, and once again we appreciate
your interest in serving your community in this manner.
Regards,
John Sutter
City Planner/Assistant Community Development Director
