A. CALL TO ORDER
Page I of 5
The regular meeting of the Crystal Planning Commission convened at 7:00 p.m. with the
following present: Davis, Krueger, Nystrom, Strand, and VonRueden. Also present were the
following: Planner Sutter, Community Development Assistant Dietsche, and City Council
member Grimes. Absent were the following: K. Graham, T. Graham, and Sears. Also absent
was Kamp, due to his resignation, effective immediately.
B. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Krueger to approve the
minutes of the June 9, 2003 meeting with no exceptions.
Motion carried.
C. PUBLIC HEARINGS
Consider a Conditional Use Permit for Automobile -Related Uses at 5301 Douglas Dr
N (Regal Car Wash).
Planner Sutter summarized the staff report and stated that staff recommended approval of
the Conditional Use Permit for specific automobile -related uses based on the suggested
findings of fact and provided all conditions listed in the staff report are met.
Amy Moser, 5307 Edgewood Ave N, stated that Regal Car Wash has not been very
accommodating to the neighborhood and neglects to take care of the property. The lawn
and bushes are overgrown, the fence is in disrepair, trash enclosure is not adequately
screened from adjacent properties, and traffic associated with the business is a constant
disruption to the neighborhood.
Commissioner VonRueden replied that as part of the approval for the Conditional Use
Permit, the curb cut on Edgewood Ave N would be required to be closed. He also stated
that the city would do its best to address the code violations mentioned by Ms. Moser.
Planner Sutter stated that he was aware of the noise associated with traffic on this
property, but had not heard about the other issues mentioned by Ms. Moser. He said that
if any code violations exist, this would be a good time to address these issues.
Commissioner Strand questioned why Regal Car Wash refused to close the curb cut on
Edgewood Ave N in the past. Commissioner VonRueden and Planner Sutter replied that
Regal Car Wash felt they would lose too much business if the curb cut was closed.
However, new management has recently recognized that closing the curb cut would
Page 2 of 5
increase the potential for using the property in other ways and are therefore willing to _
close the curb cut.
Torn Moser, 5307 Edgewood Ave N, questioned what Automobile -Related Uses included
and stated he was concerned that the proposed uses may have a greater impact on the
neighborhood than current uses on site. Planner Sutter summarized the uses that would
be permitted under the Conditional Use Permit.
Commissioner Krueger questioned whether or not the site had adequate parking and
Planner Sutter stated that staff would make a determination based on how the space is
used.
Moved by Commissioner Davis and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to close
the public hearing.
Motion carried.
Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Strand to
recommend to the City Council to approve Application 2003-06 for a Conditional
Use Permit for Automobile -Related Uses at 5301 Douglas Dr N (Regal Car
Wash). Findings of fact are as stated in the staff report and that the fence should
be kept in repair.
Motion carried.
2. Consider a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning of 5509 56"' Ave N from
Low Density Residential / R-1 to Neighborhood Commercial / B-2.
Planner Sutter summarized the staff report and stated that staff recommended approval
based on the suggested findings of fact in the staff report.
Commissioner Krueger questioned if the parking lot would be accessed off of 56"' Ave N
or Vera Cruz Ave N. Planner Sutter explained that the parking lot would use the existing
curb cut on 56t" Ave N. Mark Devening, 5505 56"' Ave N, stated that the existing
parking configuration is dangerous because customers have to back out of the parking lot
onto 56"' Ave N, which is a busy street. Mr. Devening stated that he would like to be
finished with the new parking lot by winter 2003.
=> Moved by Commissioner Strand and seconded by Commissioner Davis to close
the public hearing.
Motion carried.
Commissioner VonRueden stated that the Rose Bo is a well run business and he would
like to see it continue. A study and possible rezoning of this area is a good idea, because _
residential use on 56"' Ave N is going to change in the future.

Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Krueger to
reccommend to the City Council to approve Application 2003-07 for a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning of 5509 56th Ave N. Findings of
fact are as stated in the staff report.
Motion carried.
3. Consider a variance to increase the maximum rear yard structure coverage, allow
two accessory parking spaces, and allow encroachment of one of these spaces into
the public right-of-way at 6526 59th Ave N.
Planner Sutter summarized the staff report and stated that staff recommended approval of
the variance to increase the maximum rear yard structure coverage, but denial of the
variance to allow two accessory spaces at the property, and denial of a variance to allow
an accessory parking space to encroach into the public right-of-way based on the
suggested findings of fact in the staff report.
Ryan Pugh, 6526 591h Ave N, stated that building a two -car garage is not currently in his
budget. He said that he is trying to improve the appearance of his property by putting in
a hard surface driveway that can accommodate the vehicles that need to be parked at the
property, rather than parking the vehicles on the grass. Mr. Pugh confessed that he was
confused as to why a variance was required to encroach on the public right-of-way so as
to allow him access to his accessory parking space.
Planner Sutter responded that the zoning code explicitly states that parking is not allowed
in the boulevard portion of the driveway, the property does not have an undue hardship,
and that denying the variance does not prevent reasonable use of the property.
Commissioner Davis stated that there seems to be other feasible options for a comparable
driveway without the need fora variance. The Planning Commission seemed to be in
agreement that because of the unique configuration of the lot, a variance to increase the
rear yard structure coverage was justified, but under no circumstances could an accessory
parking space encroach into the public right-of-way.
Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Krueger to
close the public hearing.
Motion carried.
Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Strand to
recommend to the City Council to approve Application 2003-08 for a variance to
increase the rear yard structure coverage at 6526 59th Ave N from 30% to 48%.
Findings of fact are as stated in the staff report.
Motion carried.
Paae4of5
Moved by Commissioner Davis and seconded by Commissioner Strand to
continue until the August Planning Commission meeting the discussion of
Application 2003-08 for a variance to allow two accessory parking spaces at 6526
59t' Ave N. Findings of fact are that staff is going to pursue other options for the
property for discussion at the next Planning Commission meeting.
Motion carried 3-1 with Davis, Nystrom, and Strand
voting aye, VonRueden voting nay, and Krueger
abstained.
=> Moved by Commissioner Davis and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to
recommend to the City Council to deny Application 2003-08 for a variance to
allow encroachment of an accessory space into the public right-of-way at 6526
59'h Ave N. Findings of fact are as stated in the staff report.
Motion carried.
4. Consider a Conditional Use Permit for outdoor sales at 5417 Lakeland Ave N (HOM
Furniture).
Planner Sutter summarized the staff report and stated that staff recommended approval
based on the suggested findings of fact in the staff report.
A representative for HOM Furniture stated that the 24 foot drive aisle requested by staff
would be honored as part of the Conditional Use Permit. He said that HOM is currently
trying to find a tent that would fit close to the front entrance of the store to ensure safety
for its customers, but that they are willing to put the tent on the side of the store if
necessary.
Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Krueger to
close the public hearing.
Motion carried.
Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Krueger to
recommend to the City Council to approve Application 2003-09 for a Conditional
Use Permit for outdoor sales at 5417 Lakeland Ave N (HOM Furniture). Findings
of fact are as stated in the staff report.

DATE: August 7, 2003
TO: Planning Commission (August 11th meeting)
FROM: John Sutter, Planner and Redevelopment Coordinator
SUBJECT: Consider Application 2003-8 for a Variance to allow two accessory parking
spaces at 6526 59th Avenue North (continued from July 14, 2003 meeting).
A. BACKGROUND
The applicant's request contained three variances. The Planning Commission held the
required public hearing on July 14, 2003. Decisions on two of these have been made
by the City Council but a decision on the third has not yet been made:
(1) The Zoning Ordinance allows only 30% of the rear yard to be covered by
structures. The applicant's request would have resulted in rear yard coverage at
around 31%.
STATUS: As recommended by the Planning Commission, a Variance was
approved by the City Council on July 22, 2003 to increase maximum rear yard
structure coverage to 48%.
(2) The Zoning Ordinance prohibits parking on the street right-of-way; the portion of
the driveway within the right-of-way is only for access to and from the property,
not for parking. This request would extend the northern accessory space into the
Elmhurst Avenue right-of-way.
STATUS: As recommended by the Planning Commission, this Variance request
was denied by City Council on July 22, 2003.
(3) The Zoning Ordinance allows only one accessory space in addition to the garage
and the driveway leading to the garage. The applicant's proposal would place
two accessory spaces on the property.
STATUS: Continued by the Planning Commission with direction to staff to
develop an alternative proposal for consideration at the August 11, 2003
Planning Commission meeting. Please see Staff Alternate #3 which is attached
as Exhibit 10. The applicant has submitted a counter -proposal which is attached
as Exhibit 11.
The following exhibits are attached:
1. plat map showing the location of the subject property;
2. aerial photo showing the location of the subject property;
3. narrative submitted by the applicant;
4. applicant's proposal (as submitted);
5. existing conditions (corrected to accurately show existing curb cut);
6. applicant's proposal sketch and coverage calculation sheet (corrected to
accurately show existing curb cut);
7. Staff Alternate #1 sketch and coverage calculation sheet;
8. Staff Alternate #2 sketch and coverage calculation sheet;
9. future needs scenario sketch and coverage calculation sheet;
10. [new] Staff Alternate #3 sketch and coverage calculation sheet; and
11. [new] applicant's counter -proposal.
B. STAFF COMMENTS
A variance allowing the property to have two accessory spaces instead of one would
not meet the undue hardship test. The applicant's justification has to do with the fact
that the household has four cars but cannot afford to add garage space to better
accommodate those cars. Many homes in Crystal have single car garages and they
are expected to comply with the ordinance even if it allows them only three parking
spaces (one in the garage, one in the driveway leading to the garage, and one
accessory space alongside).
The intent of the Zoning Ordinance to limit the number of additional parking spaces is
clear: Accessory parking may not be more than one space located (i) on the side of the
driveway, (ii) adjacent on one side of an existing garage, or (iii) as a turn -around space.
The applicant simply has too many vehicles for a single -car -garage property. The
appropriate solution under the ordinance is for the applicant to build a two -car garage or
park one of the vehicles somewhere else.
The Planning Commission directed staff to try and come up with an alternative that
balances the intent of the ordinance with the shortness of the driveway. It should be
noted that staff feels that the shortness of the driveway does not justify a variance
because many homes in Crystal have single car garages with driveways only long
enough for one car to be parked in front of the garage. However, if the Planning
Commission wishes to grant a variance, it could do so based on the limited area of the
driveway. Such a variance would use a typical 12'x 30' single -car -garage driveway as
a benchmark for reasonable use of the property. Such a variance would allow the
applicant to widen the driveway to match the width of the entire garage (not just the
overhead door) in addition to a single accessory space along the north side of the
garage. Staff Alternate #3 shows how the driveway could be configured if such a
variance were granted.

C. SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT
The Zoning Ordinance (Crystal City Code 515.56 Subd. 5) and state law have a three-
part test for determining whether a variance can be granted. A finding of undue
hardship requires that all three criteria be met. The three-part test is as follows: (1) the
property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used as required by this
Zoning Code; and (2) the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the
property and not created by the property owner; and (3) the variance, if granted, will not
alter the essential character of the locality.
Suggested findings applicable to the applicant's Variance request to allow
two accessory parking spaces in addition to the garage and the driveway
leading to the garage.
a. For Approval. Because staff believes that none of the three criteria are
met in this case, we can offer no suggested findings of fact to approve.
b. For Denial. Strict application of the requirement that a property have no
more than one accessory parking space would not constitute an undue
hardship in this particular case because none of the three required criteria
are met. Specifically:
❑ The property in question can be put to a reasonable use if used as
required by this Zoning Code. The Zoning Ordinance has
established one accessory space as being reasonable use. The
property can accommodate one accessory space. The need for an
additional accessory space is wholly due to the number of vehicles
the applicant wishes to park on the property. The applicant could
accommodate those vehicles by building a two -car garage.
❑ The plight of the landowner is not due to circumstances unique to
the property. Because one accessory space could be
accommodated on the property, there is no plight other than the
applicant's preference to avoid building a two -car garage or
reducing the number of vehicles kept on the property.
❑ The variance, if granted, will alter the essential character of the
locality. The Zoning Ordinance has established an expectation that
outdoor parking of cars will be limited to the driveway leading to the
garage plus one accessory space. The requested variance would
be a visually significant deviation from this community standard.
2. Suggested findings applicable to Staff Alternate #3, a Variance that would
allow the driveway to be widened to match the full width of the garage.
a. For Approval. Strict application of the requirement that a driveway only be
as wide as is necessary to provide access to the garage would, in this
VARIANCE - ADDITIONAL ACCESSORY PARKING SPACE - 6526 59TH
3
particular case, constitute an undue hardship because all three of required
criteria would be met. Specifically:
❑ The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used as
required by this Zoning Code. Most lots with one car garages have
driveways that are typically around 12' wide and at least 30' long
(excluding the part on the public right-of-way), or approximately 360
sq. ft. On the subject property, the existing driveway into the garage
is approximately 200 sq. ft. This results in the subject property having
less opportunity to park on its driveway than most other properties in
Crystal. If the driveway is allowed to be as wide as the entire garage,
it will cover approximately 350 sq. ft. which is closer to the typical
minimum driveway area for homes with one car garages in Crystal.
❑ The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the
property and not created by the owner. The atypically small driveway
area is a product of the placement of the garage and the placement of
the garage is a product of the property tapering to the rear. Allowing
the driveway to be as wide as the entire garage will reduce the plight of
the landowner by increasing the driveway area.
❑ The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the
locality as long as the driveway providing access to the garage is no
wider than the full width of the garage.
b. For Denial. Because staff believes that all three criteria are met in this
case, we can offer no suggested findings of fact to deny.
D. RECOMMENDATION
Separate motions should be made, first on the applicant's original request and then on
Staff Alternate #3. Motions based on the staff recommendation are as follows:
Staff recommends denial of a Variance to allow two accessory parking spaces in
addition to the garage and driveway at 6526 59th Avenue North, based on the
Findings of Fact in Section C(1) above.
2. Staff recommends approval of a Variance to allow the driveway at 6526 59th
Avenue North to be widened to match the full width of the garage, based on the
Findings of Fact in Section C(2) above.
The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation on the request for City
Council consideration. The City Council would consider the recommendation at its next
regular meeting on August 19tH

ATTN: John Sutter, Planner & Redevelopment Coordinator
4141 Douglas Drive North
Crystal, Minnesota 55422
Dear Mr. Sutter:
I am a resident of Crystal, residing at 6526 591b Avenue North, on the corner of 59f Avenue and
F]mhunt Avenue. I am attempting to acre a variance for the reconstruction of my driveway. My current
driveway does not accommodate the vehicles in which I need to park at my residence. There are two
occupants at my hQuse,- each of whom own two vehicles, one for work purposes and one for
personal/recreational use, in addition to a small fishing boat.
Currently the paved portion of my driveway, which is about 10 feet wide, does not allow to park cars
side-by-side and is not long enough to park a second row behind the first. My proposed solution is-io widen
my driveway to 28' feet wide, which would allow for parking three cars abreast on the street side of the
garage, allowing for boat storage along side of the garage. (Due to current budget constraints, I cannot
expand the garage to a two -stall capacity, though I plan to in the future.) _- The existing driveway forces me to
park vehicles with the tires off of the paved surface (which I understand iagainstcity ordinance), killing the
grass areas next to the driveway. I feel that this proposed reconstructed drive -way would allow for sufficient
parking area, allow successful_growth of turf up to the edge of the new surface, and improve the ovetall curb
appeal of my residence.
I was previously directed to Section 515.56 Subd. 5 of the Crystal City Code. After reviewing this
section, I feel that at least two of the categories are applicable, namely that the "property in question cannot
be put to a reasonable use if used as required by the Zoning Code" (does not meet parking area requirement)
and "the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the property
owner" (being'a comer lot greatly reduces the area considered the "back yard", therefore increasing the risk
of exceeding the, maximum impervious area percentage_ allowed.) I understand that city ordinance may
conflict with my proposed solution. I am prepared to conform to any restrictions there may be with the
portion of the driveway -to be constructed within the citY right-cf--way of Elmhurst Avenue to best comply
with any ordinances. Please review my existing situation and proposed solution when considering approval
for this variance.
Sinc rely,

515.33 General Performance Standards
A. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to establish general development performance
standards intended to assure compatibility of uses; prevent urban blight, deterioration
and decay; and enhance the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the
community.
B. Number of principal structures per lot. Except in the Planned Development,
District, not more than 1 principal structure may be located on a lot.
C. Lighting. Any lighting used to illuminate an off-street parking area, sign or other
structure shall be arranged as to deflect light away from any adjoining residential
property or from public streets. Direct or sky -reflected glare from floodlights or from
high temperature processes such as combustion or welding shall not be directed onto
any adjoining property. The source of lights shall be hooded or controlled in some
manner so as not to light adjacent property. Bare light bulbs shall not be permitted in
view of adjacent property or public right-of-way. Any light or combination of lights
which cast light on a public street shall not exceed 1 foot candle (meter reading) as
measured from the lot line abutting said street. Any light or combination of lights
which cast light on residential property shall not exceed 0.4 foot candle (meter
reading) as measured from lot line of abutting said property.
D. Visibility at Intersections. The planting -of -trees, shrub l herbaeeeus ala
mEAer-ial or the er-eetion of afi), str-ueture is prohibited within the 25 feet site tr-iangi
I F __ fh, sides f4med b., +>10 r, ,.,o,+., t;,,os and _the _third s;def4� oa �,.by,
me—metheFeu u
st . ght line eenneeting the 2 25 feet „t points of the A 25 foot sight triangle is
hereby established at each corner of any intersection of two public streets, and at each
corner of any intersection of a public street and a railroad. Within the sight triangle,
no trees shrubs plants, or structures including fences in excess of 30 inches high may
be planted erected or maintained. The 30 inch maximum height shall be measured
from the center line of the abutting street. Said sight triangle shall be measured along
each lot line to a point 25 feet back from the corner, with the third side being a straight
line connectingtpoints. In the event that the street right-of-way is enlarged to
include part of what would typically be within the required sight triangle, then the 25
foot measurement shall be made from the hypothetical intersection of the two lot lines
projected into street the right-of-way.
STAFF NOTE: SEE DRAWING # 1 (ATTACHED).
E. Drainage. No land shall be developed and no use shall be permitted that results in
water run-off causing flooding, erosion, or deposit of minerals on adjacent properties.
Such run-off shall be properly channeled into a storm drain, watercourse, pond area, or
other public facilities. Any change in grade affecting water run-off onto adjacent
property must be approved by the City Engineer.
F. Landscaping. i all zening dist,,;,.+s the lotafear-emaining.,ftor p idin g f r ofdstreet '

providing parking sidewalks driveways building site or other permitted
improvements shall be planted and maintained in turf or, subject to the approval of the
Community Development Director, other acceptable landscaping material
G. Fences and Walls.
No fence or wall shall exceed 84eet4n4wi& 4 feet high in the front yard or 6
feet high in any other portion of the lot except as follows:
STAFF NOTE: CURRENT CODE ALLOWS FENCES 6'- 8' HIGH IF THEY GET A BLDG
PERMIT. STAFF FEELS THAT SUCH FENCES FACILITATE THE ACCUMULATION OF
UNLAWFUL JUNK; IT'S WHAT SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERYWHERE SOMEONE HAS AN 8'
FENCE AROUND THEIR BACKYARD. 6' FENCES ARE A MORE TYPICAL COMMUNITY
STANDARD FOR RESIDENTIAL AREAS.
a. On corner lots where the front yard abuts an arterial or major collector
street, the property owner may erect a fence or wall up to 6 feet high in the
front yard, provided that no fence shall exceed 4 feet high in the area
between the side street lot line and the principal structure extended across
the full depth of the lot from the front lot line to the rear lot line
STAFF NOTE: SEE DRAWING #2 (ATTACHED). THIS SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM
WITH CORNER LOTS WHERE THE FRONT LOT LINE IS ON A BUSY STREET IN NEED OF
SCREENING.
b. Fences may exceed 6 feet high when approved as part of a screening and
buffering plan between incompatible land uses in accordance with Section
520 (Site Plan Review). In such cases no fence or wall shall exceed 8 feet
in height.
2. In the case of grade separation such as the division of properties by a wall, the
maximum permitted height shall be deter -mined en the basis of --
e uu ur ciriczic
measured from the average point between the highest and lowest grade.
