CRYSTAL PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
The regular meeting of the Crystal Planning Commission convened at 7:00 p.m. with the
following present: Elsen, K. Graham, T. Graham, Kamp, Koss, Krueger, Magnuson, Nystrom,
and VonRueden. Also present were the following: Planner Sutter and Recording Secretary
Van Krevelen.
1. Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Elsen to approve
the minutes of the January 8, 2001 meeting with no exceptions.
Motion carried.
2. Consideration of revisions to a previously approved site plan submitted by Greg A.
Bichler (applicant and owner) to construct a 3,498 sq. ft. dental office building on
property located at 5231 and 5237 Douglas drive North (P.I.D. 08-0118-21-11-0003
and 08-118-21-11-0084).
Planner Sutter stated that the applicant, after obtaining additional advice from
contractors, would like to turn the building so it would face Douglas Drive instead of
52nd Avenue. Staff recommended that a turn -around space for the northerly parking
1—N space and a connection to the sidewalk on Douglas Drive be added to the conditions.
Moved by Commissioner Elsen and seconded by Commissioner T. Graham to
recommend to the City Council to approve revisions to previously approved site plan
submitted by Greg A. Bichler (applicant and owner) to construct a 3,498 sq. ft. dental
office building on property located at 5231 and 5237 Douglas Drive North subject to
the following conditions:
❑ The basement shall be used only for storage and utility purposes, and shall not
be used in any way which would act to increase the demand for off-street
parking, unless the necessary additional off-street parking is provided.
❑ All signage shall be in compliance with Crystal City Code.
❑ All lighting shall be in compliance with Crystal City Code.
❑ The plans submitted with the building permit shall include the following
changes:
*There will be a turn around space installed on the east side of the trash
enclosure. This is necessary to allow egress from the northernmost parking
space.
1
*There shall be a pedestrian connection from the parking lot to the sidewalk
along Douglas Drive. This shall be located in the vicinity of the clear space
for the van -accessible handicapped parking space.
*The landscape plan shall be revised to show the correct location of the trash
enclosure and the turn around space.
Motion carried.
3. Consideration of revisions to a previously approved Planned Unit Development
submitted by SVK Development (applicant and owner) to reduce the building setback
from the north and east boundaries of the plat of Parkside Acres Second Addition.
Planner Sutter said the original plan had a 30' building setback. Ordinance requires a
setback at least equal to the building height unless it abuts a street right-of-way, in
which case it the 30' setback applies. Only the south side would be required to have a
30' setback, and the applicant is requesting to reduce the north and east setbacks to be
consistent with City ordinance.
This change would only affect 8 buildings (16 units), and would have little impact on
surrounding properties.
.-N The developer is requesting this change because potential buyers touring the model
home are requesting an option to have two bedrooms on the main floor. To build this
type of two-bedroom units, they would need to base the setback on the building height.
Dick Curry, SVK Development, spoke briefly to the Planning Commission, saying
that this request is market driven and more depth would be required to build these
types of units.
Moved by Commissioner Kamp and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to approve
revisions to previously approved Planned Unit Development submitted by SVK
Development (applicant and owner) to reduce the building setback from the north and
east boundaries of the plat of Parkside Acres Second Addition.
Motion carried.
4. Discussion item: Possible lot division request, to include variances from minimum lot
area, lot depth, and front yard setback, for property located at 6828 Corvallis Avenue
North (P.I.D. 08-118-21 13 0041).
Planner Sutter stated that this is a double frontage lot facing Corvallis. Back in 1960,
an 40' x 40' easement was taken to create a cul-de-sac on 51St Place, with the
understanding that if the road ever extended to the west, the easement would revert
back to the property owner.
2
The current owner would like to divide the lot, keeping the existing house and
^� relocated garage on one lot, and the other lot would be sold for development. To
accomplish this, two variances and a change of the easement would be required.
Before the homeowners invested money into this, they wanted feedback from the
Planning Commission.
Staff has not taken a position on this and feels that arguments could be made both for
and against this variance.
The main argument for granting the variances is that the lot would have been big
enough to divide into two lots if the easement had not been taken for the cul-de-sac.
This would also eliminate a double frontage lot and the easement could be cleaned up.
There would also be no negative impacts if the variances were granted.
The main argument against granting the variances is that the current owners bought the
property in 1976, and this situation existed at that time.
Janene Erwin, owner of 6828 Corvallis Avenue North, spoke before the Planning
Commission. She said that this property is nice and quiet, with very little traffic. She
also stated they are planning on selling the property and she wondered what her next
step would be after this meeting.
111 While not everyone on the Planning Commission favored this proposal, the majority
seemed to feel like this could be workable. They recommended the owner survey the
property and consult a contractor to make sure a house could be built on the lot if it
were divided and then submit an application for the variances and lot division.
5. Informal Discussion and Announcements.
Kevitt Excavating may come in with a proposal in March or April. They are in the
process of mitigating the wetland and so could expand their contractor yard. There is
also some drainage issues at this property.
6. Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner Elsen to adjourn.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:50 p.m.

M E M O R A N D U M
DATE: March 5, 2001
TO: Planning Commission (March 12th meeting — Item #2)
FROM: John Sutter, Planner
SUBJECT: Application 2001-1 for Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review
3335 Pennsylvania Avenue North (P.I.D. 20-118-21-23-0009)
Kevitt Excavating (applicant) and Scott V. Kevitt (owner)
Expansion of an existing Condition Use together with Site Plan Review to
enlarge materials storage and equipment parking areas
A. BACKGROUND
The property is zoned 1-2 Heavy Industrial. The applicant/owner is proposing to fill 1.41
acres of wetland on the site located at 3335 Pennsylvania Avenue. The wetland would
be mitigated off site with new wetlands being constructed at North Lions Park and in the
- Parkside Acres housing development. The reclaimed area would be used to expand
the existing materials stockpile and parking area for tracked vehicles. These uses,
conditional uses in the 1-2 District, are considered accessory to the use of the property
as the home base for Kevitt Excavating and SVK Development. The site would also
include a NURP pond to control runoff from the expanded storage and parking areas on
the site.
Notice of the public hearing was published on February 28' and was mailed on March
1, 2001 to the City of New Hope and all Crystal property owners within 350' of the
subject property. City of New Hope staff have been encouraged to review this report
and provide comments at the March 12' public hearing.
Previous City Council actions regarding the site include approval of a Conditional Use
Permit on July 5, 1995 to allow fill material to be stored on the site and approval of a
site plan on April 18, 2000 to allow a 41'x 130' building addition. The City has also
previously approved the construction of the mitigation wetlands at North Lions Park and
at Parkside Acres.
The following informational items are attached:
❑ plat map showing the location of the subject property;
❑ Planning Commission minutes (June 25, 1995) and the City Council staff report
(July 5, 1995) for the Conditional Use Permit approved in 1995;
❑ narrative from Kevitt Excavating;
❑ letter from New Hope's consulting engineer regarding storm water issues; and
❑ site plan showing proposed grading, drainage and landscaping.
B. STAFF COMMENTS
1. Comprehensive Plan.
The subject property is guided for industrial uses. Staff believes that the
expansion of materials storage and equipment parking would be consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan. The following are the plan's criteria for industrial land
uses, together with staff comments regarding each:
Objectives:
❑ Increased industrial employment with emphasis on head -of -household jobs.
No effect.
❑ More diversified employment centers consisting of a mixture of office,
industrial, wholesale and ancillary commercial uses.
No effect.
❑ Pursue quality industrial/office development that is unified, well planned,
visually attractive and compatible with the natural environment, adjacent uses
and public streets.
Because this objective seems intended to apply to new development, staff
feels it is not strictly applicable to the proposed expansion of an existing
conditional use. The proposed use is not incompatible with the surrounding
land uses.
❑ Reuse of blighted and obsolete industrial areas.
The presence of a wetland in an industrial area results in underutilization of
industrial land, which the City does not have in great amounts. The
community will benefit from the wetland mitigation, which will create new
wetlands in two residential areas where the wetlands' value as an amenity will
be much greater than that of the current wetland.
Plan: The land use plan identifies a small amount of industrial land in the
southwest corner of the community. The industrial land use category allows
current industries to continue their activities but recognizes the need to achieve a
higher compatibility with surrounding land uses that are primarily residential.
The only residential -zoned property close to the subject is well buffered (see
the first item under "Policies" below). For this reason, compatibility with the
adjacent residential uses is not expected to be an issue.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT & SITE PLAN REVIEW - 3335 PENNSYLVANIA AVE N

Policies: The following are the City's policies for Industrial Areas:
❑ To maximize land use compatibility by requiring additional setbacks,
buffering, fencing, screening and landscaping between industrial/office and
other uses.
The only adjacent non -industrial property is Nevada Court Condominiums
located at 3333-3351 Nevada Avenue North. This housing is separated from
the proposed material storage and equipment parking by the following:
Landscaping on the condo site; railroad tracks; landscaping on the east edge
of the subject property; and the existing building on the east side of the
subject property.
❑ To provide financial incentives for redevelopment and assist with the
assembly of land for blighted and obsolete industrial areas.
Not applicable — it is an expansion of an existing use that will facilitate
redevelopment of the site to a higher form in the future.
❑ To facilitate or assist with the planning of industrial redevelopment areas to
maximize development potential and be assured of satisfying public interest
needs.
Not applicable — it is an expansion of an existing use that will facilitate
redevelopment of the site to a higher form in the future.
❑ All industrial development should be compact and well designed.
Not applicable — it is an expansion of an existing use that will facilitate
redevelopment of the site to a higher form in the future.
❑ To develop internal street systems with conservatively spaced accesses
(streets or driveways) to major streets.
No change — the site will still have a single street access point.
❑ To discourage industrial traffic from utilizing local residential streets.
Not applicable — the site is served by a local industrial street (Pennsylvania
Avenue) connecting to a collector street (32nd Avenue).
❑ To accept no industry that is unable to meet MPCA environmental standards.
Not applicable — the main environmental issue here is runoff, which is being
accommodated with the NURP pond in the northwest portion of the site.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT & SITE PLAN REVIEW - 3335 PENNSYLVANIA AVE N
3
o To require that new industrial developments have all storage completely
enclosed within a structure.
Not applicable — this is not a new industrial development. Furthermore, the
expanded storage and parking areas do not abut any non -industrial property
so the impacts of the expanded outdoor storage should be minimal.
❑ To require that industrial developments have adequate off-street parking and
loading facilities and that loading docks and bays be screened from view from
public streets and adjoining non-industrial/office properties.
Not applicable.
2. Zoning.
The subject property is zoned 1-2 Heavy Industrial. The building's mixture of
uses (office/storage/parking) is a permitted use in the 1-2 District. The existing
outdoor storage of materials and equipment parking are conditional uses in the I-
2 District; a Conditional Use Permit together with site plan approval for these
activities was granted on July 5, 1995.
The surrounding land uses are a mixture of residential (condos across the
railroad tracks to the east) and industrial (in all other directions). Abutting
properties in the City of Crystal are zoned, respectively, R-4 High Density
Residential and 1-2 Heavy industrial. Abutting properties in the City of New Hope
are zoned industrial.
3. Conditional Use Permit.
The following are the criteria from the Zoning Ordinance for the requested
C.U.P.:
515.39 Subd. 4(a): Open and outdoor storage, including storage by a
building or other contractor of equipment used in the contractor's trade or
business but not held for sale, as an accessory use provided that:
❑ The area is fenced and screened from view of neighboring residential
uses or if abutting a residential district in compliance with Subsection
515.07, Subdivision 9 of this Code.
The only abutting residential land uses are to the east of the property,
and those are adequately screened by the building and the existing
landscaping.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT & SITE PLAN REVIEW - 3335 PENNSYLVANIA AVE N
4
❑ Storage is screened from view from the public right-of-way in
compliance with Subsection 515.07, Subdivision 9 of this Code.
The proposed 11 Black Hills Spruce trees will provide an adequate
screen adjacent to Winpark Drive.
❑ Storage area is grassed or surfaced to control dust.
In 1995, the City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit which
exempted the applicant from this requirement for those areas used for
material stockpiling and tracked vehicle parking. Staff believes that,
based on the 1995 approval, this exception can be continued at the
discretion of the City Council. However, it should be noted that our
ordinance does not explicitly provide an exception from our hard
surfacing requirement.
o All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall
not be visible from the public right-of-way or from neighboring
residences and shall be in compliance with Subsection 515.07,
Subdivision 10 of this Code.
At this time no lighting is being proposed. If lighting is added in the
future, it will be required to comply with this requirement.
❑ The provisions of Subsection 515.53, Subdivision 1 e) of this Code are
considered and satisfactorily met. (Amended, Ord. No. 85-3, Sec. 1)
See below:
515.53, Subdivision 1 (e): The Planning Commission shall consider possible
adverse effects of the proposed amendment or conditional use. Its judgment
shall be based upon (but not limited to) the following factors:
❑ Relationship to municipal comprehensive plan.
The proposed use is consistent with the plan, as described in B(1) above.
❑ The geographical area involved.
The area to be occupied by the material stockpile is approximately 25% of
the total site area, and the equipment parking takes up another 25%.
While together these two uses take up approximately half of the total site
area, clearly they are accessory to the contractor's use of the site as their
base of operations with offices and equipment parking.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT & SITE PLAN REVIEW - 3335 PENNSYLVANIA AVE N
5
❑ Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is
proposed.
Because the properties abutting the material storage area are industrial, it
is not anticipated that the proposed use will have a negative impact on
property values. Furthermore, the installation of the spruce trees at the
northwest corner of the property will help improve the view of the property
from Winpark Drive.
❑ The character of the surrounding area.
The surrounding area is well suited to the proposed use. Residential uses
are isolated from the material stockpile and equipment parking areas.
Adequate public facilities, such as storm sewers (provided by the City of
New Hope) and non-residential streets are present to serve the use.
❑ The demonstrated need for such use.
The Comprehensive Plan for Crystal recognizes the need for infill
development in the regions' fully developed area, and the proposed use is
necessary for such development to occur.
4. Site Improvement Agreement. A Site Improvement Agreement will be required
to ensure that the drainage system and landscaping is properly installed. Staff
expects to require surety in the amount of $13,300: $10,000 to be released
upon completion of the storm sewer and NURP pond, and $3,300 to be released
when the Building Official is satisfied that the 11 Black Hills Spruce trees have
survived their first year.
C. SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT
The request is consistent with the requirements of Crystal City Code as described in
Section B above, provided the recommended conditions are satisfied.
D. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Application 2001-1 for Conditional Use Permit and Site
Plan Review, submitted by Kevitt Excavating (applicant) and Scott V. Kevitt (owner), to
expand existing materials storage and equipment parking areas on property zoned 1-2
Heavy Industrial and located at 3335 Pennsylvania Avenue North (P.I.D. 20-118-21-23-
0009), subject to the following conditions:
Equipment parking areas shall be hard surfaced with minimum b6-12 concrete
curb & gutter in accordance with City Code, except those areas primarily used by
tracked vehicles which would destroy hard surfaced pavement. Areas primarily

used by tracked vehicles shall be surfaced with at least six inches of Class 5 or
equivalent recycled material.
2. The City of Crystal accepts no responsibility for maintenance of the private
stormwater pond. The owner of the subject property shall maintain the pond as
required by the City of New Hope and/or the City of Crystal. Chronic failure to
maintain the pond shall result in the revocation of the Conditional Use Permit.
3. The property owner shall install gutters and downspouts by Apfi�1, 2001 to
control roof drainage on the 2000 building addition so that runoff is kept on site
and does not impact the adjacent property to the north.
4. Before work begins, the applicant must secure a Grading and Filling Permit from
the Building Official.
5. The Grading and Filling Permit shall not be issued until the owner executes a
Site Improvement Agreement and provides the required financial surety to the
City of Crystal.
6. This approval shall also be subject to the following conditions which were taken
from the approved 1995 Conditional Use Permit and updated by staff for the
current proposal:
❑ The applicant shall implement an approved erosion control and dust control
plan during construction, including installation of silt fence along the
perimeter of the site until the site has been vegetated. The area to be
vegetated includes but is not limited to the slope of the stockpile and the
slopes of the sedimentation pond.
❑ The applicant shall landscape all open and disturbed areas.
❑ The material stockpile shall not exceed 25% of total site area. Tracked
vehicle parking shall not exceed 25% of total site area. Storage of materials
shall be limited to black dirt, top soil and mineral soils. Processing of material
shall be limited to screening and sorting. Storage of concrete and asphalt, or
processing, crushing or pulverizing of same is not permitted.
❑ Any expansion of the storage area will be require consideration of a new
Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission and City Council.
❑ Adjacent streets must be swept as necessary during hauling operations to
remove mud, dust, and other debris.
❑ The site shall be operated and maintained in a dust free manner.

CRYSTAL PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
June 26, 1995
The special meeting of the Crystal Planning Commission convened
at 7:00 p.m. with the following present: Elsen, Ross, Madden,
Magnuson, Maloney, Nystrom, Risvold and Von Rueden; the following
was absent: Lundeen; also present was Planner Peaslee.
1. Chair Magnuson declared this was a continuation of the
public hearing to consider Application #95-7.3 for a site
plan review and Application #95-7.4 for a conditional use
permit to allow storing fill in an I-2 District at 3335
Pennsylvania Ave. N. as submitted by Revitt Excavating, 3335
Pennsylvania Ave. N.
No one appeared in opposition.
Moved by Commissioner Elsen and seconded by Commissioner
Risvold to close the public hearing.
Motion carried.
Moved by Com.-*iissioner Elsen and seconded by Commissioner
Madden to recc=end to the City Council to approve
Application #95-7.3 for a site plan review and Application
#95-7.4 for a conditional use permit to allow storing fill
in an I-2 (heavy Industrial) District (Section 515.37, Subd.
4 b) at 3335 Pennsylvania Ave. N., P.I.D. #20-118-21-23-
0009, as submitted by Revitt Excavating.
The findings of fact are:
• The CUP for storage of black dirt in the I-2 Industrial
District at 3335 Pennsylvania Avenue is not inconsistent with
the comprehensive plan in that as the storage is approximately
15% of the site, it is incidental to the use as a contractor's
yard and shop, and extensive measures to protect the
environment, including a site maintenance agreement, have been
taken.
• The use will not tend to depreciate the area because a portion
of the trees and other vegetation will be left in a natural
state buffering the pond and neighboring property. The site is
located in the middle of an industrial district and is
isolated from view from local and collector streets as well as
neighboring property, industrially zoned or otherwise.
piq
• The character of the area is consistent with the proposed use
and uses otherwise permitted in the zone in that this is the
June 26, 1995 - Continued 49
only use within the area which is so screened from other
industrial uses and streets.
• There is a demonstrated need.
The Planning Commission_ recommends the City Council approve a
Conditional Use Permit to allow additional expansion of open
and outdoor storage in an I-2 (Heavy Industrial) District) at
3335 Pennsylvania, subject to the site plan_ and the following
conditions:
1. Implement an approved erosion control and dust control plan during
construction, including installation of silt fence along the perimeter of the
pond and the berm and swale until the site has been vegetated. The area to
be vegetated includes but is not limited to the slope of the stockpile, the
slopes of the sedimentation pond, and the slope of the wetland where the
applicant previously filled and denuded the wetland of vegetation.
2. Landscape all open and disturbed areas.
3. Storage of materials shall be limited to black dirt, top soil and mineral
soils. Processing of material shall be limited to screening and sorting.
Storage of concrete and asphalt, or processing, crushing or pulverizing of
same is not permitted.
4. Any expansion of the storage area will require consideration of the
Planning Commission and approval of the City Council.
S. Fill and boulders deposited around trees designated to be saved should be
removed immediately. Trees designated to be preserved must be protected
during the construction and afterward to a distance 12 times the diameter
of the tree.
6. Preserve or replace all trees over 12" diameter. Replacement trees must
be over 5" diameter. Two 3" trees may be substituted for each 5"
replacement.

Coordinator
SUBJ.: Request of Kevitt Excavating for a conditional use
permit to allow storing fill in an 1-2 (Heavy Industrial)
District at 3335 Pennsylvania Ave. N., P.I.D. #20-118-
21-23-0009.
DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW: Anne Norris �iN �Iz�1✓'`7
BACKGROUND:
In June of 1994, the city issued a conditional use permit to Kevitt Excavating for
a contractor's yard, subject to a site plan, at 3335 Pennsylvania Avenue No. The
site plan included, according to the staff report dated 6/16/1994, "a structure
which would include office area, storage and large repair garagre to house
equipment being repaired. The yard to the west of the building will be used for
storage of equipment, some stock piling of materials used in his business and
parking for employees." Kevitt Excavating has now requested additional area to
stock pile "materials used in his business," ie., black dirt.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The property was not in complete compliance with conditions set forth in the site
plan agreement and conditional use permit memo. The Planning Commission
layed this item over from June 12 to June 26 to give the property owner time to
bring this into compliance and to evaluate the wooded area as part of the city's
tree preservation ordinance.
Among the items added to this permit are compliance with the tree preservation
ordinance, and a maintenance agreement. The conditional use permit also notes
the responsibility of the operator to clean streets of dust, mud, dirt etc., that may
be dropped by trucks hauling black dirt.
SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT:
The Planning Commission adopted the following findings:
■ The CUP for storage of black dirt in the I-2 Industrial District at 3335
Pennsylvania Avenue is not inconsistent with the comprehensive plan in
that it the storage is approximately 15% of the site, is incidental to the
use as a contractor's yard and shop, and extensive measures to protect
the environment, including a site maintenance agreement, have been
taken
■ The use will not tend to depreciate the area because a portion of the
trees and other vegetation will be left in a natural state buffering the pond
and neighboring property. The site is located in the middle of an industrial
district and is isolated from view from local and collector streets as well
as neighboring property, industrially zoned or otherwise.
■ The character of the area is consistent with the proposed use and uses
otherwise permitted in the zone in that this is the only use within the area
which is so screened from other industrial uses and streets.
■ There is a demonstrated need, in light of the continuing use of this
property for such use.
COMMISSION ACTION:
The Planning Commission recommended the City Council approve a Conditional
Use Permit to allow additional expansion of open and outdoor storage in a 1-2
(Heavy Industrial District) at 3335 Pennsylvania, subject to the site plan and the
following conditions:
Implement an approved erosion control and dust control plan during
construction, including instaillation of silt fence along the perimeter of the
pond and the berm and swale until the site has been vegetated. The area
to be vegetated includes but is not limited to the slope of the stockpile,
the slopes of the sedimentation pond, and the slope of the wetland where
the applicant previously filled and denuded the wetland of vegetation.
2. Landscape all open and disturbed areas.
3. Storage of materials shall be limited to black dirt, top soil and mineral
soils. Processing of material shall be limited to screening and sorting.
Storage of concrete and asphalt, or processing, crushing or pulverizing of
same is not permitted.
4. Any expansion of the storage area will require consideration of the
Planning Commission and approval of the City Council
5. Fill and boulders deposited around trees designated to be saved should
be removed immediately. Trees designated to be preserved must be
protected during the construction and afterward to a distance twelve
times the diameter of the tree.
6. Preserve or replace all trees over 12" diameter. Replacement trees must
be over 5" diameter. Two 3" trees may be substituted for each 5"
replacement
7. Enter into a site maintenance agreement with the city to guarantee
maintenance of the erosion control measures
8. Adjacent streets must be swept as necessary during hauling operations
to remove mud, dust, and other debris
2
KEV1TT EX:AVATiNG =
9. The site shall be operated and maintained in a dust free manner.
10. An easement must be granted at the end of Pennsylvania Avenue to
facilitate City street maintenance equipment turning around.
11. Permanent markers must be installed around the edge of the stockpile
area.
12. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall not
be visible from the public right of way or from neighboring residences.
13. Prepare and submit "as built" plans.
14. Provide all lot irons in place and to grade at the time of final acceptance.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Staff recommends the City Council approve the Conditional Use Permit as
noted above, a site plan agreement, and site maintenance agreement.

DATE: March 7, 2001
TO: Planning Commission (March 12th meeting — Item #3)
FROM:�ohn Sutter, Planner
SUBJECT: Discussion Item: Existing Commercial Property located at 5525 34th Ave N
A. BACKGROUND
The property is zoned B-4 Community Commercial. There is an existing commercial
building on the site, together with a parking lot. (The number of legal spaces in the
parking lot cannot be confirmed by staff until the property owner provides us with a
survey showing the exact dimensions of the property, building and parking lot). The
building has been previously used for offices and storage.
The property used to have access to and visibility from Highway 100, via 34th Avenue
and Vera Cruz Avenue. However, with its reconstruction of Highway 100, MNDOT has
eliminated the access and visibility to the highway along with all other commercial uses
that formerly existed along the highway. This leaves the subject property as the Ione
remaining non-residential building on the west side of the highway. Access is only
available via residential streets (Welcome, 34th and 32"d Avenues), and the property will
be hidden behind the new noise wall.
Due to these changes along Highway 100, in the new Comprehensive Plan the City
designated all land along the west side of the highway for residential uses. We are
required to make our zoning map consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; to do so, we
will need to rezone the subject property to some sort of residential district. Staff has
expressed its intent to recommend that the property be rezoned to RO Residential
Office as part of the zoning map revisions later this year.
Two potential buyers of the property have asked the Planning Commission to discuss
their proposed uses of the property.
The following informational items are attached:
❑ plat maps showing the location of the property with current zoning districts and land
use designations;
❑ excerpt from Highway 100 plans showing the property with the new freeway and its
noise wall and frontage road;
❑ letter from Nelson & Nelson regarding its potential jewelry manufacturing business;
❑ letter from Rita Lyansky regarding her potential dental office; and
❑ theoretical parking layout for the property.
B. STAFF COMMENTS
1. Rezoning for Consistency with Comprehensive Plan.
Staff recognizes that the elimination of the visibility and access of the subject
property from/to Highway 100, combined with the removal of all other
commercial uses from the west side of the highway, has created a unique
situation that may justify a creative solution as an alternative to simply rezoning
the property to R-1 to match the Low Density Residential designation. For this
reason, staff believes that RO Residential Office would be the appropriate zoning
designation for the property. This district is basically R-4 High Density
Residential with very limited commercial uses — including dental offices but not
jewelry manufacturing - allowed by Conditional Use Permit.
If a new commercial use is lawfully established before the new zoning map is
adopted (thus changing the property from B-4 to RO zoning), the commercial use
could continue as a lawful non -conforming use. After the new zoning map is
adopted, any changes or expansions of the use would require compliance with
RO District regulations.
Due to the small size of the site (75' x 135', or 10,125 sq. ft.), if the property were
to be redeveloped for residential use, only a single family dwelling could be built
and the property would have to be rezoned to R-1 to allow such use.
2. Potential Use - Jewelry Manufacturing.
a. Present Zoning (B-4).
515.37 Subd. 4(d) lists the following as a Conditional Use in the
B-4 District:
Custom manufacturing, restricted production and repair limited to the
following: art, needlework, jewelry from precious metals, watches,
dentures, optical lenses provided that:
1) Such use is accessory as defined by Subsection 515.03,
Subdivision 5 of this Code to the principal use of the
property.
2) Does not conflict with the character of development intended
for this zoning district.
3) The provisions of Subsection 515.53, Subdivision le of this Code
are considered and satisfactorily met.
DISCUSSION ITEM - 5525 34T" AVE N
2
Staff is most concerned with item #1 above, which we believe prohibits
manufacturing that is not accessory and subordinate to a permitted
principal use. In the case of the proposed jewelry manufacturing
business, such principal use would have to be on-site jewelry retailing and
the manufacturing operation would have to be clearly subordinate to the
retail use. Staff believes that this would prohibit any manufacturing for
sale off premises, such as in other stores or by mail.
b. Possible Future Zoning (RO).
If the property were zoned RO, this use would not be allowed unless it
was lawfully established before the zoning change. In such a situation,
rezoning to RO would make it a lawful nonconforming use.
3. Potential Use — Dental Office.
a. Present Zoning (B-4).
Under the present zoning, this use would be permitted. However,
because it would increase the parking demand compared to the
current office/storage use, the Zoning Ordinance requires that the
parking lot be reconfigured for the new use in accordance with City
Code. This would require a variance from the 5' parking lot setback
on the east side of the property; such a variance would require an
application from the property owner for consideration by the
Planning Commission and City Council.
b. Possible Future Zoning (RO).
515.27 Subd. 4(e) lists the following as a Conditional Use in the RO
District:
Hospitals, medical offices and clinics, dental offices and clinics,
professional offices, commercial (leased) offices, real estate agencies,
and funeral homes and mortuaries provided that.-
1)
hat.
1) The site and related parking and service entrances are served by
an arterial or collector street of sufficient capacity to accommodate
the traffic which will be generated.
2) Adequate off-street parking is provided in compliance with
Subsection 515.09 of this Code.
3) Adequate off-street loading is provided in compliance with
Subsection 515.11 of this Code.
DISCUSSION ITEM - 5525 34TH AVE N
3
4) Vehicular entrances to parking or service areas shall create a
minimum of conflict with through traffic movement.
5) When abutting an R-1, R-2, or R-3 District, a buffer area with
screening and landscaping in compliance with Subsection 515.07,
Subdivision 9 of this Code shall be provided.
6) All signing and informational or visual communication devices shall
be in compliance with Section 406 of the City Code.
7) The provisions of Subsection 515.53, Subdivision le of this Code
are considered and satisfactorily met.
Staff is most concerned with items #2 and #5 above. We would require
that item #2 be met if the use were established under the current zoning,
so this should not represent a barrier to approval of a CUP. Item #5 could
be waived based on the distance to the adjacent single family homes, the
low profile of the building, and the fact that the proposed use's visual
impact on the adjacent homes would be no greater than that of the
previous office/storage use.
C. PLANNING COMMISSION DISCUSSION
Because no application has been submitted regarding this property, no action will be
taken by the Planning Commission. Members of the Planning Commission are asked
to review this information and provide feedback to the staff and interested parties.

"This step is recommended but it is not required. Prospective applicants may appear before the Planning Commission to explain their request before they go
through the effort of submitting a formal application. The Planning Commission will take no action at that time but may provide feedback regarding the request.
`*The second City Council meeting is only required for ordinance changes such as rezonings and zoning ordinance text amendments. Also, please note that
ordinance changes only become effective 30 days after the ordinance change is published. This means that rezonings and zoning ordinance text amendments
typically are not effective until five or six weeks after City Council meeting #2.
For further information regarding Planning & Zoning applications or related matters, call John Sutter at (763) 531-1142.
