October 9, 2000 CRYSTAL PLANNING COMMISSION WORKSESSION MINUTES The worksession meeting of the Crystal Planning Commission convened at 6:00 p.m. with the following present: Elsen, K. Graham, T. Graham, Kamp, Krueger, Magnuson, Nystrom, and VonRueden. Also present were the following: Community Development Director Peters, Planner Sutter, and Recording Secretary Van Krevelen. Absent (excused) was Koss. 1. Discuss Development of Code Revisions. Community Development Director Peters spoke to the Planning Commission, stating that Crystal has a new Comp Plan and wanted feedback from the Planning Commission about what direction they would like staff to take. With the new development at 47th and Zane, Crystal is completely built out and he felt 90% of future projects would be redevelopment. He stated he would like to focus on how to accommodate mixed use developments, especially in the areas of Bass Lake Road and West Broadway, 42nd Avenue, and the Highway 81 corridor. He also mentioned a new staff member would be hired to start in January 2001. Responsibilities will include code enforcement and neighborhood groups. The issues brought up were: ❑ Environmental issues ❑ Signs ❑ The "ugliness" of our older commercial strips ❑ Connect parks and open spaces together with paths ❑ Incorporate bus facilities (shelters and pull-outs) into redevelopment plans ❑ Improve landscaping in commercial areas (existing, older parking lots especially need improvement) ❑ Flexibility — giving applicants something (such as a PUD) for something that the city wants ❑ Raise square foot lot area and parking requirements for senior housing so that they match the requirements applied to housing for the general population ❑ Blur some segregated areas such as commercial with residential etc. ❑ Concerns about apartments being concentrated on the south side of the city ❑ Redevelop areas for mixed-use development (retail/office/residential) where appropriate, problems and benefits of such a development 1 ❑ Improve follow-up (enforcement of site plan and zoning requirements after approval) ❑ Exterior building materials ❑ Making zoning ordinances more user friendly Community Development Director Peters would like to discuss modifications to commercial, industrial and residential zoning districts along with permanent and conditional uses at a future meeting. The next worksession will be on Monday, November 131h at 6:00 p.m. Food will again be provided at 5:30 p.m. The regular Planning Commission meeting will follow at 7:00 p.m. 2. Moved by Commissioner Elsen and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 7:08 p.m. Secretary Nystrom 2 Motion carried. Chair Magnuson October 9, 2000 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, Krueger, Magnuson, Nystrom, and VonRueden. Also present were the following: Planner Sutter, and Recording Secretary Van Krevelen. Absent (excused) was Koss. 1. Moved by Commissioner T. Graham and seconded by Commissioner Kamp to approve the minutes of the September 11, 2000 regular meeting, with no exceptions. Motion carried. 2. Discussion Item: Proposed auto body and used car sales operation at 5160 West Broadway (presently Automotive Concepts). Planner Sutter said that the proposed use is permitted on that site, and if approved Brookdale Dodge would remove the storage racks currently there. There would be a limited area of inoperable vehicles stored in a screened -in area. Perry Watson spoke for Brookdale Dodge. Because of city restrictions, there are limited places they can go. He said they can't do anything with a vehicle until the insurance adjuster sees it, so there would be a period of time when there would be up to 10 —12 vehicles "in transition". These inoperable vehicles would be stored on the northeast side of the building in a screened -in area until they could be repaired. There would be no mechanical repair done at this site, they are planning on this being primarily a body shop, but are exploring the option of used car sales. He also stated that if there wasn't sufficient room for loading and unloading vehicles, they could be dropped at Brookdale Dodge and brought over. Members of the Planning Commission had several concerns about this issue. Those mentioned were whether there would be sufficient parking if there were used cars being sold at the site, inoperable cars being parked outside the building, and lack of green space. It was also brought up that some members felt a precedent had been set by not allowing other auto -related businesses in the area to keep cars outside. Planner Sutter stated that the ordinance doesn't require that the inoperable cars be stored indoors, they only need to be screened. He also said that the landscaping that is there today is what was approved by the Planning Commission a couple years ago. Staff was directed to research past actions for Crystal Collision, Duke's and Collision Masters to see if the city required that they store inoperable vehicles inside. Moved by Commissioner Nystrom and seconded by Commissioner T. Graham to set a public hearing on this issue for Monday, November 13tH Motion carried. 3. Informal Discussion and Announcements. There was no discussion or announcements. 4. Moved by Commissioner Elsen and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m. Secretary Nystrom Motion carried.

Regards, Jhn Sutter, Planner MEMORANDUM DATE: November 9, 2000 TO: Planning Commission (November 13th meeting — Item #2 FROM: John Sutter, Planner � � SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Application 2000-15.3 for Site Plan Review to construct additions with a gross floor area of 3,096 sq. ft. to an existing building with a gross floor area of 4,792 sq. ft., on Metropolitan Airports Commission property located at 5930 Lakeland Avenue North (P.I.D. 05-118-21-14-0001). Staff received an application on October 23`d from Helicopter Flight for Site Plan Review to allow construction of building additions. Their first contact with City staff on this matter was approximately one year ago, at which time the Building Official made them aware that our site plan requirements would apply and they would need to go through Planning Commission review and City Council approval before staff would issue building permits for the additions. On October 23rd we received an application and the required fee. However, it did not include several required items such as the written approval of the property owner (MAC), a survey showing the distance to the property line along County Road 81 or an accurately drawn site plan. At the time the application was submitted, staff met with the applicant and explained that the application was incomplete and that we would need to receive the missing items within one week (by Oct. 30th). The applicant assured us that they would have the required items to us by October 30th; staff agreed to proceed with mailing notice of the public hearing on this basis. On October 24" staff faxed and mailed the applicant a letter reviewing what we had discussed in our meeting with them and reminding them of the October 30" deadline. The October 30" deadline passed with no contact from the applicant. After sending another letter (see copy on reverse side) we finally received a call from the applicant on November 3rd stating that they were working on the required items and understood that they had to get them to us by November 20th for consideration at the December 11th meeting, assuming that the Planning Commission would continue the public hearing to that date. The Planning Commission is asked to continue the public hearing to its next regular meeting on December 11, 2000. If the required items are not submitted by the November 20th deadline, staff will recommend that the Planning Commission and City Council deny approval of the application and direct the applicant to re -apply when they are ready, including payment of the required fee. M E M O R A N D U M DATE: November 9, 2000 TO: Planning Commission (November 13" meeting — Item #3) FROM: John Sutter, Planner 405�� SUBJECT: Application 2000-16.4 for Conditional Use Permit to allow motor vehicle sales and limited outdoor storage of inoperable vehicles on property located at 5160 West Broadway (P.I.D. 09-118-21-24-0023) in the 1-2 Heavy Industrial District. A. BACKGROUND Brookdale Dodge has purchased the former Automotive Concepts property and is relocating their body shop operation from Brooklyn Center to Crystal. They would like to also have limited outdoor storage (inoperable vehicles) and used car sales on the site. The subject property is zoned 1-2 Heavy Industrial; auto body repair is a permitted use in the 1-2 District. However, two aspects of their proposed operation are not permitted uses but instead are conditional uses in the 1-2 District: ❑ Outdoor storage of inoperable vehicles. The applicant would have no more than 12 inoperable vehicles on the site at any time. They also would limit such vehicles to a designated area along the north side of the fenced enclosure at the rear of the property, where they would be fully screened from West Broadway by the building. They would also be eliminating the outdoor storage racks from the property, so that there would be no more outdoor storage of parts. o Used car sales. The applicant would have no more than 30 used cars for sale at any time. They also would limit such vehicles to a designated area between the building and the south property line; in addition to the 30 display spaces they would keep 10 spaces open in this area for customers and employees. The Planning Commission discussed this proposal at its October 91h meeting, after which Brookdale Dodge proceeded with its application. Notice of the November 13th public hearing for the requested Conditional Use Permit was mailed to properties within 350 feet of the subject property and was published in the Sun Post on November 1st The following informational items are attached: ❑ proposed parking plan. B. STAFF COMMENTS if 4 3. Property, Zoning and Land Use. The Comprehensive Plan guides the subject property as Mixed Use West Broadway / County Road 81. The property is zoned 1-2 Heavy Industrial. Outdoor Storage and Motor Vehicle Sales are conditional uses in the B-3 District. c No exterior modifications are proposed the body shop operation. Fencing. The interior has been reconfigured for The screening fence and gate would be moved approximately 70' east to line up with the rear of the building. No other changes are proposed. The existing chain link fence around the rear of the site would remain. Any fencing between the building and the south or west property lines would require Site Plan Review, including Planning Commission review and City Council action, because it would significantly change the appearance of the site from what was approved in 1998. 4. Signage. 5. C� The existing freestanding sign will be used. Any additional signs will need to comply with City Code. Landscaping. The landscaping currently in place was installed as part of the 1998 site plan approval for Automotive Concepts. No changes are proposed. Findings of Fact - Conditional Use Permit for Outdoor Storage (inoperable vehicles). For the purpose of this application, we are defining "inoperable motor vehicle" as any motor vehicle that, through reason of either mechanical problems or noncompliance with applicable State laws and local ordinances, cannot be operated on public streets or roads. The following is the Zoning Ordinance language regarding this conditional use (shown in italics), followed by staff comments: 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. C.U.P. FOR BROOKDALE DODGE (5160 WEST BROADWAY) 2 ❑ 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. Not applicable. ❑ Storage is screened from view from the public right-of-way in compliance with Subsection 515.07, Subdivision 9 of this Code. The storage area for inoperable vehicles would be in compliance because it is screened by the building and the opaque fence/gate. ❑ Storage area is grassed or surfaced to control dust. The existing parking lot is properly hard surfaced. ❑ 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. No lighting changes are being proposed at this time. If the applicant wishes to install new lighting that might shine on or near West Broadway, staff will require that photometrics be submitted so that it can ensure that the lighting will be consistent with City Code. ❑ The provisions of Subsection 515.53, Subdivision 1(e) of this Code are considered satisfactorily met. (Possible adverse effects.) Provided it operates in a manner consistent with the submitted parking plan and the conditions imposed by the City Council, the proposed use would be consistent with existing uses along West Broadway. Because the storage of inoperable vehicles is limited both in number (no more than 12) and area (only the north edge of the parking lot), the potential for adverse impacts is minimized. In addition, the designated area is fully screened from West Broadway by the building and the opaque fence/gate. It is also important to note that the existing racks for outdoor storage of parts would be removed under the applicant's proposal. 7. Findings of Fact - Conditional Use Permit for Motor Vehicle Sales. The following is the Zoning Ordinance language regarding this conditional use (shown in italics), followed by staff comments: C.U.P. FOR BROOKDALE DODGE (5160 WEST BROADWAY) 3 Motor vehicle and motorized recreational equipment sales and storage garages accessory thereto provided that: ❑ The architectural appearance and functional plan of the building and site may not be so dissimilar to the existing buildings or area as to cause impairment in property values or constitute a blighting influence within a reasonable distance of the lot. The proposed use is consistent with the land use in the surrounding area. ❑ Approval of a conditional use permit will be based on a specific site plan noting the existing facilities and improvements required to meet the provisions of this Subdivision. The site plan will be unchanged except for the parking which will be reorganized, designated and re -striped as shown on the parking plan. ❑ Parking, driving and vehicle display areas shall be hard -surfaced to control dust. Further, these areas must be lined with concrete curb and provided for an on-site drainage system subject to the approval of the City Engineer. These improvements were completed in 1998 by Automotive Concepts in accordance with an approved site plan. ❑ A minimum lot area of 22,500 square feet is required. The lot area is approximately 135,000 sq. ft. ❑ The lighting must be accomplished in such a way as to have no direct source of light visible from adjacent land in residential use or from the public right-of-way and must be in compliance with Subsection 515.07, Subdivision 10 of this Code. No lighting changes are proposed at this time. ❑ The area is fenced and screened from view of neighboring residential uses or if abutting an R District in compliance with Subsection 515.07, Subdivision 9 of this Code. Not applicable. C.U.P. FOR BROOKDALE DODGE (5160 WEST BROADWAY) 4 ❑ Vehicular access points may create a minimum of conflict with through traffic movement and shall comply with Subsection 515.09 of this Code. No changes are proposed. There does not appear to be sufficient turn -around space on the site to accommodate tractor -trailers. The applicant has stated that tractor -trailers will not visit the site but that smaller delivery trucks will. There does appear to be room on the rear of the site for smaller delivery trucks to turn around so those trucks can be allowed on the site. If the applicant wishes to allow tractor -trailers on the site, City staff will need to receive a revised parking plan showing that tractor -trailers will have sufficient room to turn around on site. ❑ All signing and informational or visual communication devices must be minimized and shall be in compliance with Section 406 of :";e City Code. No changes are proposed except that the face of the freestanding sign is being changed and wall signs may be added to the building. All signage shall be in compliance with City Code. ❑ Repair or work of any ki:,d on motor vehicles and motorized recreational equipment may not be permitted. The repair or sale of products other than those specifically mentioned in this Subdivision require issuance of individual conditional use permits in compliance with this Code. Motor Vehicle Sales are listed as a conditional use in the 1-2 District by reference; the criteria for the conditional use is listed under the B-3 District. The language above, "Repair or work of any kind on motor vehicles... may not be permitted", was intended to apply in the B-3 District but not in the 1-2 District where auto repair is a permitted use. ❑ On-site parking requirements consistent with Section 515.09, Subdivision 8 d) must be met. Any parking spaces used for inoperable vehicles or the display of cars for sale cannot be counted as parking spaces being provided. After reviewing the Zoning Ordinance, it appears that the parking requirement applicable to this use would be as follows (515.09 Subd. 9y): Retail sales and service businesses with 50 percent or more of gross floor area devoted to storage, warehouses or industry. Eight spaces, plus one space for each 250 square feet devoted to public sales or service plus one space for each 1, 000 square feet of storage area; or at least eight spaces, plus one space for each employee on the maximum shift C.U.P. FOR BROOKDALE DODGE (5160 WEST BROADWAY) 5 whichever is greater. Also applicable is the requirement that any used car sales operation provide five spaces (515.09 Subd. 9ii). Based on remodeling plans submitted to the Building Official, we estimated floor area for each use and the respective parking requirement: 8 spaces base requirement +15 3,711 sq. ft. of public sales/service @ 250 sq. ft. per space +21 21,159 sq. ft. of auto work areas @ 1,000 sq. ft. per space +5 required for motor vehicle sales = 49 Total number of parking spaces required Any parking spaces used for vehicles for sale or otherwise being stored on the site would be in addition to the 49 required spaces. In other words, 49 spaces is the minimum number that would have to be kept open for use by customers and employees. Based on the applicant's parking plan, it appears that the site would have 113 spaces, with up to 12 for inoperable vehicles and up to 30 for used cars on display. This would leave 71 spaces available for customers or employees, or 22 more than the 49 required by our ordinance. ❑ Maximum vehicle or equipment length must be restricted to less than 32 feet unless larger units are specifically approved as a condition of the conditional use permit and provided for on the parking layout. Vehicle length shall be less than 32 feet because the parking plan does not show designated parking or turnaround spaces for vehicles 32 feet or longer. In no circumstances shall any vehicle be parked in a way which blocks drive aisles or other parking spaces. ❑ The provisions of Subsection 595.53, Subdivision 9(e) of this Code are considered satisfactorily met. (Possible adverse effects.) Provided it operates in a manner consistent with the submitted parking plan and the conditions imposed by the City Council, the proposed use would be consistent with existing uses along West Broadway. Because the parking area for used cars on display is limited both in number (no more than 30) and area (only the area between the building and the south property line not including the 10 spaces reserved for customers and employees), the potential for adverse impacts is minimized. C.U.P. FOR BROOKDALE DODGE (5160 WEST BROADWAY) 6 C. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Application 2000-16.4 for a Conditional Use Permit to allow limited outdoor storage of inoperable vehicles and motor vehicle sales on property located at 5160 West Broadway (P.I.D. 09-118-21-24-0023) in the 1-2 Heavy Industrial District, subject to the following conditions: 1. Outdoor storage shall be prohibited except for inoperable motor vehicles not to exceed 12 such vehicles and limited to the area designated on the parking plan. The outdoor storage racks shall be removed from the site. For the purposes of this Conditional use Permit, "inoperable motor vehicle" means any motor vehicle that, through reason of either mechanical problems or noncompliance with applicable State laws and local ordinances, cannot be operated on public streets or roads. 2. The number of motor vehicles for sale shall not exceed 30 and the parking of said vehicles shall be limited to the designated area shown on the parking plan. 3. The trash enclosure shall be kept closed except when loading or unloading, and no refuse or recyclables may be stored outside the enclosure, as required by Crystal City Code. 4. The areas shown to be landscaped on the 1998 (Automotive Concepts) site plan shall be maintained as shown on the plan, except for the one island with the trash enclosure which may have an alternate covering of landscaping rock. The other island immediately west of the loading dock shall be landscaped and maintained as shown on the 1998 site plan. 5. Vehicles shall not park, stop, load or unload in traffic lanes on West Broadway or other public roadway. Vehicles shall not park, stop, load or unload on the sidewalks and boulevards along West Broadway or on the site's landscaped areas. The owner shall be responsible for informing delivery drivers and companies of this requirement. 6. Tractor -trailers shall not be allowed on site because there does not appear to be sufficient room for them to turn around on site. If the applicant wishes to have tractor -trailers making deliveries to the site, a revised parking plan showing that tractor -trailers will have sufficient room to turn around on site. 7. All parking shall be accommodated off street and shall be consistent with the parking plan provided by the applicant, except that the areas identified by staff as not providing the required 24' drive aisles shall be reconfigured to do so. The parking areas shall be designated and re -striped as shown on the parking plan. This includes relocating the screening fence / gate approximately 70 feet east of its present location. C.U.P. FOR BROOKDALE DODGE (5160 WEST BROADWAY) 7 8. All motor vehicles must be parked on grade; none shall be elevated on jacks, platforms or similar equipment. This includes any motor vehicles for sale or display. 9. The length of any vehicle parked on site shall be less than 32 feet, and in no circumstances shall any vehicle be parked in a way which blocks drive aisles or other parking spaces. 10. If the applicant later wishes to install new lighting that might shine on or near West Broadway, staff will require that photometrics be submitted so that it can ensure that the lighting will be consistent with City Code. 11. If the applicant later wishes to install fencing on the site in addition to that approved in the 1998 site plan, no such fencing may be installed without Planning Commission review and City Council approval. 12. All signage shall be in compliance with City Code. The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation to the City Council for consideration at its November 21St meeting. C.U.P.

The developer is requesting a modification to the previously approved site plan which would allow the six southwesterly townhouse units to have lookout basements instead of regular basements. The fronts of these six units face Adair Court and their rear yards face 47th Avenue. The original site plan showed the grade essentially flat at the rear of the units but with a berm running along the north side of the 47th Avenue right of way. The six units adjacent to this berm were shown as having regular basements. To build the six units as lookouts, the grade will need to be lowered at the rear of the units. This requires a reduction in the size and height of the berm and the construction of a small (2'- 3' high) limestone retaining wall facing 47th Avenue. Under the original plan, the top of the berm would be 4'-10' above the existing grade and the berm would be quite broad (ranging from 20' to 60' wide). Under the revised plan, the top of the berm would typically be 4' above the existing grade and it would be much narrower. Basically, the slope along the back of the berm would continue below the existing grade into the lowered area at the rear of the units. To drain the low area at the rear of the units, a storm sewer would be run under Adair Court to connect to the development's NURP pond. An auxiliary storm sewer would connect to an existing City storm sewer along the west side of the property. Four Cardinal Crab and three Black Hills Spruce would be moved closer to 47" Avenue in the revised plan. This is because the berm is much narrower and its top runs only a couple of feet from the property line, and the landscaping has been shifted so that it is located between the berm top and the low area. Three additional Black Hills Spruce would be placed along the west property line to follow the berm top in the same manner. Staff has reviewed the revised plan and recommends approval. We do not feel that the proposed changes are significant enough to warrant a new public hearing; however, we have mailed a copy of this staff report to the property owners across 47th and along the west side of the development site so that they are aware of the proposed changes and have an opportunity to comment if they desire. The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation for the City Council to consider at its November 21St meeting. – SLT P bcE 1 627.95 N89°42'43"E STM T LOf 6 ' 40 ela 5— b OTJ T 3J 1''i--'�. �ST� $E12-C4 LIIE _ -� °E� I rN. ebT.o 5 eje wv.

The owner of four properties along West Broadway is considering the redevelopment shown on the attached preliminary site plan. Two of the four lots are zoned 1-2 Heavy Industrial and two are zoned B-3 Auto -Oriented Commercial. New construction would include a larger building housing Maaco auto painting and Goodyear auto service, and a smaller building housing Dumark auto sales. To accomplish this redevelopment, the following applications would be required: • Subdivision: The four lots would need to be replatted into a larger lot for Maaco/Goodyear and a smaller lot for Dumark. • Rezoning: The entire property would be zoned 1-2 Heavy Industrial. • Conditional Use Permit: While Maaco/Goodyear would be a permitted use in 1-2, Dumark would require a Conditional Use Permit for auto sales (this would be true whether or not the property was rezoned to 1-2, since auto sales is a conditional use in B-3 as well). Staff has noted the following issues on the attached preliminary site plan: 1. The signs will need to be set back at least 10' from the property line. (Currently shown at 5'.) 2. A strip across the rear of the property will need to be dedicated on the new plat as a public alley. (This will help complete the alley across this block.) 3. The overhead door on the rear of the Maaco space will need to be set back at least 20' from the property line along the new alley. 4. It appears that the following parking requirements would be applicable: a. Dumark (515.09 Subd. 9ii): Motor vehicle sales lots are required to have 5 spaces in addition to display areas. The preliminary site plan shows a total of 33 spaces, 5 of which would be reserved for customer parking. b. Goodyear and Maaco (515.09 Subd. 9y): Retail sales and service businesses with 50 percent or more of gross floor area devoted to storage, warehouses or industry. Eight spaces, plus one space for each 250 square feet devoted to public sales or service plus one space for each 1, 000 square feet of storage area; or at least eight spaces, plus one space for each employee on the maximum shift whichever is greater. 8 spaces base requirement +12 3,000 sq. ft. of public sales and service @ 250 sq. ft. per space +12 12,402 sq. ft. of work and storage areas @ 1,000 sq. ft. per space = 32 Total number of parking spaces required The preliminary site plan shows 49 spaces on the Goodyear / Maaco site. The Planning Commission is asked to discuss the proposal and share any ideas or concerns. We expect that the applicant will request that a public hearing be held at the December or January Planning Commission meeting, depending on when they can complete their application.
