The regular meeting of the Crystal Planning Commission convened at 7:00 p.m. with the
following present: K. Graham, T. Graham, Krueger, Nystrom, Sears, Strand, and VonRueden.
Also present were the following: Planner Sutter and Community Development Assistant
Dietsche. Commissioner Kamp was absent.
B. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Krueger to approve the
minutes of the February 10, 2003 meeting with no exceptions.
Motion carried.
C. PUBLIC HEARINGS
None.
D. OLD BUSINESS
None.
E. NEW BUSINESS
1. Discuss proposed zoning moratorium along County Road 81 to provide time for
completion of planning studies related to roadway reconstruction and bus rapid
transit improvements.
Planner Sutter summarized the staff memo and explained the reasoning behind the
moratorium. He stated that the moratorium would be applied to properties wholly or
partially located within 660 feet of the centerline of County Road 81, with the exception
of single-family homes, duplexes, and businesses or institutional additions not exceeding
10% of the existing building. The moratorium would cover requests for rezoning,
subdivisions, variances, conditional uses, and site plan review. Staff anticipates the
moratorium would expire one year after the effective date. However, the City Council
would have the authority not only to discontinue it early but also to extend it later if
necessary.
_ 2. Discuss preliminary draft of the new Zoning Ordinance: Proposed I-1 district and
special districts (Planned Development, Floodplain, Shoreland, Airport).
Page 2 of 2
Planner Sutter reviewed the revised timetable for discussion of the new Zoning
Ordinance and summarized the revisions proposed for the I-Idistrict and special districts.
Commissioner Sears expressed concern for the increase in traffic that would result from
possible redevelopment of the airport and questioned whether the reconstructed County
Road 81 is anticipated to accommodate any increase. Planner Sutter responded that any
anticipated traffic increases on local streets and related concerns would be taken into
consideration as part of the master planning process for the area. However, staff does not
anticipate a significant increase in traffic on the regional road system if the airport is
developed into a residential district.
Commissioner Sears was interested in discussing the permitted principal uses in the I-1
district, specifically whether or not any sort of metal plating businesses would be allowed
in this district. Commissioner Sears and several other commissioners were concerned
with the type of chemical discharge that might be associated with this business and if the
I-1 district is an appropriate location for this use. Planner Sutter suggested that this use
should not necessarily be excluded in the 1-1 district, but dealt with according to the
performance standards listed for the district.
Commissioner T. Graham questioned the language of the permitted principal uses of the
I-1 district and stated that some of the uses are too general, while others are very specific.
He stated that it might be confusing to individuals who are trying to decipher what is
permitted and what is not and it would be helpful to clarify this section, so as not to leave
anything open to interpretation. Planner Sutter agreed that it might be best to specifically
list the permitted principal uses to avoid any confusion or awkward interpretation.

SUBJECT: Site Plan Review for a 3,420 sq. ft. addition to an existing office building
together with parking lot and landscaping modifications at 5200 Douglas
Drive North (Family Eye Care Center).
A. BACKGROUND
The subject property is an existing 3,200 sq. ft. eye care clinic located at 5200 Douglas.
The property is guided Mixed Use West Broadway / County Road 81 and is zoned B-4
Community Commercial. The existing use is a permitted use in the B-4 district.
Family Eye Care Center is requesting approval for a 3,420 sq. ft. building addition. As
part of the project, they would also be reconfiguring the parking lot and installing new
landscaping. The type of use would not change, but the intensity would, and therefore
Site Plan Review is required.
Notice of Public Hearing was mailed to all property owners within 350 feet of the subject
property and published in the Sun Post on May 1St
The following exhibits are attached:
❑ map showing the location of the subject property; and
❑ site, landscape and building plans.
B. STAFF COMMENTS
The proposed addition would slightly more than double the floor area of the clinic by
increasing it from 3,200 sq. ft. to 6,620 sq. ft.
The building's exterior walls would be a mixture of brick and stucco, although the
addition would be mostly stucco in contrast to the existing building, which is mostly
brick. The main customer entrance would be relocated from the northwest corner of the
existing building to an area of the new addition located near the northeast corner of the
existing building. The existing main entrance would be converted to an employee
entrance.
The Zoning Ordinance requires 1 off-street parking space for each 200 sq. ft. of floor
area. With the proposed addition, the site would require 33 spaces. The site plan
shows that there would be 35 spaces.
The landscape plan includes four large -species evergreen trees (Black Hills Spruce),
two large -species deciduous trees (Green Ash), and 70 smaller shrubs. The only area
without significant tree planting is the west side of the building where the existing trees
will remain undisturbed. The plan has been reviewed and approved by City Forester
James Burks. However, he is recommending either Hackberry or male Ginkgo instead
of Green Ash which are overplanted in this area.
It should be noted that underground irrigation of turf and landscape areas are required
by city code.
Staff is recommending that the required financial surety be set at $10,000. A sum of
$7,000 would be for the parking lot and $3,000 would be for the landscaping work. As
per city code, the surety must be provided either as a cash deposit to be held in escrow
by the city or as an irrevocable letter of credit in a form acceptable to the city. Upon
satisfactory completion of the improvements, the city will return the cash deposit plus
interest or release the letter of credit. The landscaping surety or a portion thereof may
be held for approximately one year after project completion to make sure the trees
become fully established.
C. SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
The proposed plans are consistent with the requirements of City Code.
No additional conditions of approval are recommended by staff.
D. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Application 2003-01, Site Plan Review for a 3,420 sq. ft.
addition to an existing office building together with parking lot and landscaping
modifications at 5200 Douglas Drive North (Family Eye Care Center).
The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation on the request for City
Council consideration. The City Council will consider the request at its meeting on May
20tH

FROM: John Sutter, Planner and Redevelopment Coordinator
SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Consider Application 2003-02 for a Variance to increase the
maximum rear yard structure coverage from 30% to 40% at 3534 Kyle
Avenue North.
A. BACKGROUND
The subject property is a 60' wide x 128' deep lot with 7,680 sq. ft. (0.18 acres). It is
guided Low Density Residential and zoned R-1 Single Family Residential. The property
owner wishes to construct a new three -car garage and driveway in the rear yard. As is
typical for homes in the surrounding area, the garage would have driveway access from
the alley at the rear of the property. However, the lot is 50% larger than the typical (40'
wide) lots in the area. The existing house and other structures plus the proposed
garage and driveway would result in rear yard structure coverage approaching 40%.
The applicant is requesting a variance to increase the maximum rear yard structure
coverage from 30% to 40%.
Notice of Public Hearing was mailed to all property owners within 350 feet of the subject
property on May 1St
The following exhibits are attached:
A. plat map showing the location of the subject property;
B. site sketch;
C. narrative; and
D. coverage calculation sheet.
B. STAFF COMMENTS
The requested variance would increase the maximum rear yard structure coverage from
30% to 40%. As shown on the coverage calculation sheet, this would allow installation
of a new 30' x 22' three -car garage and 28' x 20' driveway.
The main issue in this case is whether reasonable use of the property includes these
coverage items. Staff opinion is that this property is unduly impacted by the city's
maximum structure coverage rule because the garage is accessed off an alley.
In 2002 the city approved variances to increase the maximum rear yard structure
coverage to 40% on three similar -sized alley -served lots: 4228 Brunswick, 4957 Florida
and 6511 50th. In addition, the draft of the revised Zoning Ordinance recently
discussed by the Planning Commission establishes the maximum rear yard structure
coverage at 40% for standard -width lots such as the subject property. The requested
variance is therefore consistent with recent discussions by the Planning Commission
and actions by the City Council.
C. SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL
1. For approval:
Strict application of the 30% maximum rear yard coverage in this particular case
would constitute an undue hardship for the following reasons (Crystal City Code
515.56 Subd. 5). -
Li
):
❑ "The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used as
required by this Zoning Code." If the variance is not granted, the property
owner will be denied reasonable use of the property. Most Crystal lots can
accommodate accessory structures such as those proposed by the applicant
and still comply with the 30% maximum rear yard coverage. However,
properties with garages accessed from alleys do not have the same
opportunity for these reasonable and customary accessory uses. Strict
application of the ordinance in the case of the subject property would prevent
the property from being put to a reasonable use.
❑ "The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property
and not created by the property owner." The plight of the landowner is the
result of the property's alley access. The area that would be covered by
structures in the rear yard is not unusual or excessive when compared to
other alley -served lots of similar size.
❑ "The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. "
Having garages, driveways and decks completely within the rear yard is the
standard form of development on properties served by alleys, even if it does
exceed the 30% coverage limit. The site sketch and coverage calculations
show that a 40% limit on the subject property would result in rear yard open
space typical for alley -served properties of comparable width to the subject.
2. For denial: Because staff believes that all three of the undue hardship criteria
are met, we have no suggested findings of fact for denial.

SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Consider Application 2003-03 for a Variance to increase the
maximum rear yard structure coverage from 30% to 50% at 3516 Kyle
Avenue North.
A. BACKGROUND
The subject property is a 40' wide x 128' deep lot with 5,125 sq. ft. (0.12 acres). It is
guided Low Density Residential and zoned R-1 Single Family Residential. A new two-
story house and detached two car garage are proposed to be built on this lot. As is
typical for homes in the surrounding area, the garage would have driveway access from
the alley at the rear of the property. The house, garage and driveway plus typical rear
yard features such as a deck would result in rear yard structure coverage approaching
50%.
The applicant is requesting a variance to increase the maximum rear yard structure
coverage from 30% to 50%.
Notice of Public Hearing was mailed to all property owners within 350 feet of the subject
property on May 1St
The following exhibits are attached:
A. plat map showing the location of the subject property;
B. site sketch;
C. narrative; and
D. coverage calculation sheet.
B. STAFF COMMENTS
The requested variance would increase the maximum rear yard structure coverage from
30% to 50%. As shown on the coverage calculation sheet, this would allow installation
of a two car garage, a driveway, a sidewalk providing access to the garage, a deck and
a pad for a central air conditioner.
The main issue in this case is whether reasonable use of the property includes these
coverage items. Staff opinion is that this property is unduly impacted by the city's
maximum structure coverage rule because its lot dimensions are unusually small and
the garage is accessed off an alley.
In October 2002, the city approved a variance to increase the maximum rear yard
structure coverage to 50% on a similar 40' x 128' lot across the street at 3513 Kyle. In
addition, the draft of the revised Zoning Ordinance recently discussed by the Planning
Commission establishes the maximum rear yard structure coverage at 50% for narrow
lots such as the subject property. The requested variance is therefore consistent with
recent discussions by the Planning Commission and actions by the City Council.

application of the ordinance in the case of the subject property would prevent
the property from being put to a reasonable use.
❑ "The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property
and not created by the property owner." The plight of the landowner is the
result of the property's small size and alley access. The new house would be
reasonably sized. To maximize rear yard area, it would be placed as far
forward on the lot as the Zoning Ordinance allows. Its two story design would
minimize its footprint on the lot. The area that would be covered by
structures in the rear yard is not unusual; 20' x 24' is a typical size for a two
car garage and the driveway area would be minimized due to a mutual cross
easement with the adjacent property at 3520 Kyle.
❑ "The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. "
Having garages, driveways and decks completely within the rear yard is the

Acres office & model home at 763-535-1955.
2. Lot Division at 6828 Corvallis. The City Council approved this lot division on April 17,
2001. The original parcel went through the block, with frontage on both Corvallis and
51St Place. The existing house at 6828 Corvallis has been rehabbed and sold. The new
house at 6827 51St Place has not yet been sold, for a while it was listed for sale on the
MLS for $229,900.
3. Valley Place Estates (7221 32nd). The City Council approved this medium density 14 -

and the existing house. Both garages will be accessed off the adjacent alley; to allow
this, variances were granted to increase the maximum rear yard structure coverage
from 30% to 40%.
8. Salt Storage Building at the Crystal Public Works Facility (6125 41S). A conditional use
permit, site plan and variances from the setback and height restrictions were approved
by the City Council on August 20, 2002. Construction of the 50' x 70' salt storage
building and 25' x 70' lean-to for vehicle parking was completed during winter 2002-

10. Lot Combination and Division at 6621 32nd. The City Council approved this request on
September 17, 2002 to reconfigure 2 existing parcels into 3 parcels. One of the 3
parcels will include the existing house at 6621 32nd; the house has been substantially
rehabbed and a new detached 3 -car garage has been built. The other 2 parcels will be
13,000 sq. ft. lots available for new home construction in spring 2003.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY:
SCATTERED SITE NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION
11, 6617 45th. In October 2001, the EDA purchased this property for demolition and new
home construction. The existing 500 sq. ft. home was demolished in November by the
City's Public Works Department. (The existing 896 sq. ft. garage, which is heated and
insulated, remains on the property.) In March 2002 we sold the property to Al Stobbe
Homes for construction of a new 2 -story house with 2,727 sq. ft. (1,791 finished), 3
bedrooms, and 2'/2 bathrooms. Construction is complete and the property sold for
$259,900 in January 2003.
12. Edgewood Gardens. In December 2001 the EDA acquired the property at 6328 38th for
rehab and resale. In February 2002 the EDA acquired the home located at 6404 38th
for demolition and a home at 3821 Douglas for resale. In March 2002 the City Council
transferred the vacant parcel located at 3818 Florida to the EDA for development.
These 4 parcels were incorporated into a new plat called Edgewood Gardens. The City
Council approved the Preliminary Plat in May 2002 and the Final Plat in August 2002.
The use of the plat's 8 parcels is described below:
