CALL TO ORDER The regular meeting of the Crystal Planning Commission convened at 7:00 p.m. with the following present: Sears, Davis, Nystrom, Whitenack, VonRueden, Krueger, Hester, Strand, and City Council Liaison Bowman. Also present were the following: Planner Sutter and Recording Secretary Matthews. B. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Moved by Commissioner Kruger and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to approve the minutes of the July 11, 2005 regular meeting and work session. Motion carried. C. PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. Consider Application 2005-09 for a Conditional Use Permit to allow outdoor storage as part of a proposed landscaping business at 3231 Nevada Avenue North and 733133 rd Avenue North. Planner Sutter summarized the staff report, and stated that the recent submittal from the applicant addresses the code compliance issues that the city had with these properties, and the applicant's type of business. In addition, the applicant is requesting to defer having the site plan professionally drawn up. They would like as part of approval of the conditional use permit that the site plan get delegated to staff so that they know that the use is approved. Since this is essentially a parking lot expansion the site plan is fairly straight forward, and stays under the watershed threshold, and staff is comfortable with this request.. The recommendation is for approval with the conditions that are outlined in the staff report. Mayor Bowman asked if the exhibits H, I and J in the packets are actual shots from the site. Planner Sutter stated that yes these are existing conditions of the property. Mayor Bowman stated that she her hope would be that the site would never again look like this, and she would like the site cleaned up and kept nicely. Colin O'Neill, the owner of Prescription Landscape stated that he is aware that this property is currently not in compliance with the City's code and he is certainly not proposing that his business will look like this. His other facilities look very clean and are up to the city codes. He stated that it is being cleaned up right now and they will certainly not let the property look that way again. Commissioner Davis asked if the properties had to be combined before the commission went ahead with this process. Planner Sutter stated that this would be a condition prior to beginning operations. Commissioner Davis asked if the applicant was in agreement with what the city is requiring. O'Neill replied yes and they understand the requirements of the city. Commissioner Kruger asked if the properties were going to be combined as one parcel. Planner Sutter replied that yes that would be one of the conditions of the recommendations prior to conducting any use on the 7331 33rd parcel. Commissioner VonRueden asked if they were comfortable storing burlap covered trees on a hard surface. O'Neill replied that yes they would put some timber down and some pea gravel over the top of it. Once the site plan is done there are some larger trees that will be saved and some area that could be utilized by the trees. Commissioner Sears asked if there would be water brought out. O'Neill replied that there is currently a sprinkler system that they would probably pull a line out from to supply water. They are not sure at this point exactly how it will be done. Conversation continued amongst the commission members and the applicant for further clarification on a few more minor details. Public Hearing closed. Moved by Commissioner Nystrom, seconded by Commissioner Sears to recommend to City Council to approve Application 2005-09 for Conditional Use Permit to allow outdoor storage as part of a proposed landscaping business at 3231 Nevada Avenue North and 733133 d Avenue North. Commissioner Nystrom stated that the way the property is laid out that this seemed to be an ideal use for it. Findings of fact are as outlined in the staff report. Motion carried. 2. Consider Application 2005-11 for a one year extension of a previously issued interim, temporary Conditional Use Permit for the Highview Alternative Program at the former Cavanaugh Elementary School, 5400 Corvallis Avenue North Planner Sutter summarized the staff report and stated that at this time the district is asking for an extension on the existing Conditional Use Permit. Staff recommends approval as outlined in the staff report. Commissioner Kruger stated that even thought there may not be formal complaints received at the city concerning this, he has heard a lot of concern from different people about the parking on the street while the parking lot is almost empty. When there is a lot of snow this is dangerous for children. Commissioner Kruger stated he is in favor of Highview but the parking issues concern him. Commissioner Davis asked Planner Sutter how the Commission could address this issue. Planner Sutter explained that parking is allowed on the South side at all times but not on the North side. During the day the amount of traffic that is on this road is close to the mid-range amount for a state aid street. This could be a reason to look at widening the street. The Planning Commission could recommend to Council changes for parking or just make an advisory about the potential problems for parking. The inadequacy of the street wouldn't be addressed until 2009 when the street reconstruction project is scheduled for that area. Commissioner Hester stated he remembered this concern from when this was first brought to the Planning Commission, and asked if there was anyone from the district. John Christianson from School District 281 stated that the district has moved some staff from the building to another location. The district is looking at a couple of issues regarding parking off of the street. This year they will be requiring staff to park in the parking lot, and looking at other ways to get parking off the street. They will be studying this for the Capitol Improvement Plan next year. Commissioner Davis asked if he had any idea how many staff members were parking on the street. Christianson replied that there are approximately 9-10 staff members. Planner Sutter stated that the numbers for vehicle and bus visits really do vary from day to day. Commissioner Nystrom expressed her concerns about bringing children in from all over to specific neighborhood schools, and the bus traffic that it generated. Christianson stated that he assumed that Commissioner Nystrom was referring to Fair School. Commissioner Nystrom confirmed that she was referring to Fair and that she assumes that this is not the same problem with this location. Discussion continued amongst the commissioner members and Christianson about parking and bus transportation. Planner Sutter stated that in a year the school district will come back to the commission with a final plan that will address the concerns, and site improvements. Planner Sutter stated that prior to the school district submitting their final plan, staff will be spot checking the traffic and parking. Christianson stated that they will check with staff in March about the spot checks. Commissioner Kruger stated that there is room to extend the parking lot to the east. Planner Sutter explained how this could possibly be done, and stated that this will of course be taken into consideration when this come up next year. Gordon Willey of 5116 Toledo Ave N stated his concerns were that groups of students were coming along in front of his property in the morning before school and after school smoking and throwing their litter on his property. Also there was no stop sign at the exit of the parking lot and maybe this would help make the intersection safer, or maybe even moving the curb cut. Closed Public Hearing Moved by Davis and seconded by Nystrom to recommend to City Council to approve Application 2005-11 for a one year extension of a previously issued interim, temporary Conditional Use Permit for Highview Alternative Program at the former Cavanaugh Elementary School, 5400 Corvallis Avenue North. Findings of fact are as outlined in the staff report. Moved by Commissioner Kruger seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to amend the motion to include city staff looking into the issues with on -street parking. Motion to amend carried. Original motion carried, as amended. D. OLD BUSINESS None E. NEW BUSINESS None F. GENERAL INFORMATION 1. City Council actions on recent Planning Commission items was included in the agenda packet. 2. Resignation letter from Lisa Atkinson was include in the agenda packet. 3. There are no applications at this time for the September meeting. G. OPEN FORUM H. ADJOURNMENT Moved by Commissioner Kruger and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to adjourn. Motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 8:02 p.m. Chair Davis Secretary Strand M E M O R A N D U M DATE: October 4, 2005 TO: Planning Commission (October 10, 2005 meeting) FROM: 4, John Sutter, Planner and Redevelopment Coordinator SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Consider Application 2005-12 for a variance at 4532 Douglas Drive North to reduce the rear setback to match the location of the existing building. A. BACKGROUND The subject property was first platted in 1925 as a rural residential subdivision with lots approximately 1 acre in size. The rear lot line of the subject property today roughly coincides with the middle of the original lot platted in 1925. Based on aerial photos in the city's archives, the current rear lot line had not been established by 1955, may have been established by 1958, and definitely had been established by 1962. The current plat was approved in 1964. The house was built in 1927. The site slopes significantly to the rear; the basement is essentially a walkout. A garage addition was subsequently built onto the rear of the house without a building permit. Aerial photos indicate that the garage addition was built sometime prior to 1955. The type of construction and materials used would be consistent with post -World War II construction, except that the garage addition does not have the necessary footings and supports. In the opinion of the Building Official, the existing garage was simply built over a pre-existing driveway. It is located approx. 19'/2 feet from the rear (east) lot line. The ordinance's minimum setbacks are 30 feet front (west), 30 feet rear (east), and 5 feet on the sides (north and south). The applicant is proposing to remove the existing attached garage (at basement level) and construct a new garage in the same location plus a room addition and deck above the garage (at main floor level). Under City Code Section 515.01 Subd. 8, the existing garage is not a lawful nonconforming structure (meaning it is not "grandfathered in"), and even if it was, the proposed garage-sunroom-deck could not be constructed in its place. This is because (1) the existing garage was built unlawfully; (2) the cause of its removal is not a fire or similar disaster; and (3) the new construction would also include a room addition which makes it an expansion not merely a replacement. A variance reducing the rear setback would be necessary for the proposed new garage- sunroom-deck to be built in place of the existing garage. The property owner has applied for such a variance. The city has mailed legal notice of the October 10, 2005 public hearing to all property owners within 350 feet of the subject property. The following Exhibits are attached: A. 2004 aerial photos showing the subject property. B. 1925 plat pre -dating construction of the house. C. 1964 plat post-dating construction of the existing garage addition. D. Site plan. E. Existing and proposed setbacks drawn onto the site plan. F. Background email from the Building Official. G. Narrative submitted by the property owner. H. Floor plan and elevations of the proposed garage-sunroom-deck addition. I. Photos taken October 3, 2005. STAFF COMMENTS 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 plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the property owner. ■ The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. 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. The situation is unusual in that the garage addition was built before city -approved subdivisions that established the current rear lot line. The existing garage was built unlawfully but that is not directly relevant to the question of undue hardship. What is relevant to determining whether there is undue hardship in this case is the city's subsequent approval of subdivision(s) of the original 1925 plat. The subdivisions occurred sometime after 1955 and culminated with the 1964 plat. Beginning in 1961, the city required a rear setback of 25% of lot depth, or in this case 33 feet. Because the garage, however unlawful, was in place prior to subdivision of the original plat, and because it encroached into the required rear setback as early as 1961, it could reasonably be argued that the city should have either refused to approve the subdivision that established the rear lot line in its current location, or required a variance application concurrent with the subdivision. Variances have been granted for two other properties with setback issues resulting from the houses pre -dating their subdivision: 6922 42"d (approved by Council September 17, 2002) and 4955 Quail (approved by Council June 21, 2005). The argument supporting these two variances was essentially the same: If the city intended to apply the setback to the property, then the issue should have been raised and resolved at the time of plat approval. VARIANCE -REAR SETBACK - 4532 DOUGLAS 2 C. RECOMMENDATION Approve the requested variance from 515.33 Subd. 8 b) to reduce the rear setback from 30 feet to 19 feet, so that the rear setback matches the location of the existing garage addition. Suggested findings of fact are as follows: Denial of the requested variance would constitute an undue hardship in this particular case because all of the three required criteria are met. Specifically: The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used as required by this Zoning Code. Reasonable use of the property includes continuation of the building footprint present on the property when the city approved subdivision(s) of the original 1925 plat. Subdivision(s) began sometime after 1955 and culminated with the 1964 plat. The presence of the unlawfully -built garage addition in the required rear setback was presumably found acceptable by the city when it approved the subdivision(s) of the property that created the rear lot line in its present location. 2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property. Relative to the vast majority of houses in Crystal, it is highly unusual for a house to pre -date the plat of the land on which it is located. 3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. The reduced setback requirements would be consistent with the building footprint as it has existed since at least 1955. While; the variance would also allow future expansion of the footprint either north of south of the proposed garage46ddit1on,'" such expansion would match the footprint's existing rear setback. 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.

Several months ago I was asked by a contractor to stop at 4532 Douglas Dr. N. and review the existing garage for a proposed re -roof of the flat roof and replace an existing deck above the garage. After reviewing the garage on site I met with the home owner and advised her that the attached garage appeared to be structurally sound except that it appeared to have been built over an existing driveway and there appeared to be movement of the garage due to insufficient footings. I explained to her at that time that because there was an existing deck on the flat roof of the garage that was proposed to be replaced it would be acceptable to replace the existing deck with another deck. However, I suggested that because the reroofing and the new deck would be a significant cost that she should consider correcting the footing issues or replacing the entire garage before spend money on improvements over and . Several weeks ago I received a voice mail from the current contractor, Crown Renovations, stating that the owner was proposing placing a three season porch above the garage and asking if I could stop out and review the garage. Subsequently, Jon Aaron, Crystal's building inspector, visited the site at the contractor's request and noted to the contractor that the garage slab was deteriorating, that the garage structure was questionable for the support of a three season porch addition and that if footings existed under the garage they needed to be verified to confirm that they could support a three season porch addition. Subsequently, the contractor visited with me at the front counter. He stated that the owner had decided to demolish the garage and build a new garage with a three season porch above it. He showed me a plan of the proposed work. He did not have a site plan so I pulled the address file and found a survey of the existing site. I noted that because of the rear setback the work may require planning commission review and city council approval. I advised him to submit a building permit application for review at Comm Dev's weekly plan review meeting after which I would know more about the requirements for planning commission review. In the plan review meeting it was determined that a planning commission review was required and that staff would most likely agree with the request for a variance. The contractor was provided with the application material on Wednesday, 9/14/05 and advised that the deadline for the application submittal was by the end of the day on Friday, 9/16/05.

We note enforcement of the existing city code upon our property would pro . an undue hardship (per paragraph 515.05, subdivision .2a). '= z.

On April 20, 2004, the City Council approved a conditional use permit including site & building plan review for a new 76,000 sq. ft. Forest Elementary School. Construction is complete and the school is open. 2. Brunswick Villas (3148 Douglas). On December 6, 2004, the City Council approved a preliminary plat and rezoning request from SML Land Development for 18 townhouse units (3 buildings of 6 units each). Each unit's main floor will have 770 sq. ft. with an open living -dining -kitchen area, half bath, and mechanical room. Each unit's upper floor will have 1,158 sq. ft. with three bedrooms, family room, laundry and full bath. Each unit's front door and porch will face north towards 32nd Avenue. Each unit's 2 -car garage will face south towards a private drive. Due to poor soil conditions, the buildings will be built on geo-piers and will not have basements. The developer has indicated that the units will probably sell for approximately $250,000. Construction on the buildings is beginning and the first units will be completed by early 2006. 3. TCF Bank (6830 56th). On January 18, 2005, the City Council approved a conditional use permit and site plan for TCF National Bank to build a new 4,500 sq. ft. building plus a five lane drive -up. The plans also include new parking areas, signage and landscaping. Construction is complete. 4. Crystal Aquatic Center (4800 Douglass On June 21, 2005, the City Council approved a site plan and conditional use permit for a full renovation of the city's municipal pool and related structures. Demolition has occurred and construction is beginning this fall. The goal is for the facility to be completed and re -opened in summer 2006. 5. Prescription Landscape (3231 Nevada & 7331 33rd). On August 16, 2005, the City Council approved a conditional use permit to allow outdoor storage as part of a proposed landscaping business, subject to submittal of a site improvement plan that must be reviewed and approved by city staff prior to commencement of outdoor storage. 6. Former Cavanagh Elementary School (5400 Corvallis). On August 16, 2005, the City Council approved a one year extension of a previously issued interim, temporary conditional use permit for the Highview Alternative Program, which moved into the former Cavanagh Elementary School in late 2004. The extended CUP will expire on September 30, 2006. Robbinsdale Area Schools has indicated they expect to submit a permanent CUP request and site improvement plan by summer 2006. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES 7. 5200 35th. In August 2004, the EDA sold this lot to Golden Home Builders for $52,700. They built a 2 -story house with 2,854 sq. ft. (1,872 finished), 3 bedrooms, 2'/2 baths, and an attached 3 -car garage. The house sold for $327,689 in June 2005. 8. 521734 th Place. In August 2004, the EDA sold this lot to Golden Home Builders for $57,000. They built a 2 -story house with 2,883 sq. ft. (1,901 finished), 3 bedrooms, 2'/2 baths, and an attached 3 -car garage. The house sold for $339,966 in July 2005. 9. Brunswick Fields. In the second half of 2003, the EDA purchased 4120, 4130 and 4140 Brunswick, each of which had a 100' wide lot. In the spring and summer of 2004, the EDA demolished the existing structures and then replatted the site into four lots for new house construction. Two of the new lots are 78' wide and two are 72' wide. In fall 2004, the EDA sold the property to Al Stobbe Homes for $340,000, or $85,000 per lot. ■ 4142 Brunswick: Lot is 78' x 135'; house is a 2 -story with 3,877 sq. ft. (2,303 finished), 4 bedrooms, 2'/2 baths, and an attached 2 -car garage. The house is nearly complete and the builder has listed it for sale at $399,900. ■ 4134 Brunswick: Lot is 72'x 135'; house is a 2 -story with 3,335 sq. ft. (2,164 finished), 3 bedrooms, 2'/2 baths, and an attached 2 -car garage. The house sold for $379,900 in June 2005. ■ 4126 Brunswick: Lot is 78'x 135'; house is a 1'/2 -story with 4,482 sq. ft. (2,682 finished), 3 bedrooms, 2'/2 baths, and an attached 3 -car garage. The house sold for $440,000 in May 2005. ■ 4118 Brunswick: Lot is 72' x 135'; house is a 2 -story with 3,880 sq. ft. (2,538 finished), 3 bedrooms, 2'/2 baths, and an attached 3 -car garage. The house sold for $434,500 in September 2005. 10. 4700 Hampshire. In August 2005, the EDA purchased this property for $100,000. The existing house, breezeway and garage will be demolished in October 2005. The EDA is expected to close on the sale of the lot to a builder by the end of October 2005. Construction of the new house would begin in November 2005 and be completed by August 2006. 11. 4424 Adair. In September 2005, the EDA purchased this property for $104,160. The existing house and garage will be demolished in November 2005. The EDA is expected to close on the sale of the lot to a builder by the end of November 2005. Construction of the new house would begin in December 2005 and be completed by September 2006. 12. 4310 Zane. In June 2005, the EDA purchased this property for $115,000. The existing house and garage were demolished in late September 2005. The EDA is land banking the lot for possible future redevelopment. By early 2006, upon completion of the City Engineer's report concerning a possible alley paving project, the EDA will probably determine a course of action for this lot and the other three it owns on that block (4306, U.I11....�I...........f Cd—d..—A.--✓L_I 1IlAC 1_J ..._.,a__ J__ ll..... 7 .C'1 4326 and 4330 Zane). Redevelopment of the four lots, including 4310 Zane, would potentially begin in 2006. 13. Highway 100 land use (excess right-of-way) In October 2004, the City Council amended the Comprehensive Plan to designate appropriate land uses on parcels of excess right-of-way adjacent to the new Hwy 100 freeway. In January 2005, the city's Economic Development Authority made a formal redevelopment request to MnDOT to get the parcels surveyed and appraised for possible purchase by the EDA. MnDOT says it is still processing the request. 14. Thorson Redevelopment. The EDA is purchasing the former Thorson Elementary School at 7323 58thAvenue North from Robbinsdale Area Schools. Closing on the purchase is scheduled for October 2005. Abatement and demolition activities would occur during the winter of 2005-2006. Redevelopment would begin in 2006. The city's Comprehensive Plan guides the site for low density residential development, which means no more than five dwelling units per acre. At this time, it appears likely that the EDA will redevelop the site for detached single family houses. Due to minimum lot size and other zoning requirements, this would result in approximately 14-18 housing units on the site (2'/2 -3 units per acre), which is about the same density as the adjacent existing single family houses.
