Planner Sutter stated because the building is for an industrial use located in the I-2 Heavy Industrial District and screened from view by existing buildings that painted steel exterior may be used. Jerry Womack owner of the building stated the building would be a big improvement over the present outdoor storage. No one appeared in opposition. Moved by Commissioner Koss and seconded by Commissioner Kamp to close the public hearing. Motion carried. Moved by Commissioner Koss and seconded by Commissioner Kamp to recommend to the City Council to approve Application 99-8.3, submitted by Industrial Stainless Supply (applicant) and Jerry Womack (owner), for Site Plan Review for construction of a 750 sq. ft. steel storage building in the I-2 Heavy Industrial District at 5265 and 5257 Hanson Court (P.I.D. 09-118-21-22-0023 and 09-118-21-22-0024). The findings of fact are as follows: The request is consistent with the site plan review ordinance. Motion carried. B (2). Chair Magnuson declared this was the time and the place as advertised for a public hearing to consider Application 99-9.4, submitted by Crystal Marine F:IGROUPS\COMDEVLPIPLANNINGIPLANCOMM\1999\07-121MINUTES.doc PA July 12, 1999 (applicant) and Talk of Town Restaurants, Inc. (owner), for a Conditional Use Permit to establish Motorized Recreational Equipment Sales in the B-3 Auto - Oriented Commercial District at 5630 Lakeland Avenue North (P.I.D. 04-118-21- 32-0103). Planner Sutter stated this is the former Iron Horse site and has been vacant for some time. Crystal Marine plans to purchase the building and renovate it for expanded sales. The exterior of the building will be repainted. There will be glass windows on the Lakeland side. The property will be fenced and secured. The present fence is 6 ft tall and will be replaced with an 8 -ft fence with vinyl slats. The fence along the east side of the property will be relocated two feet behind the existing curb rather than the present five feet because the Siberian Elm trees are growing up through the present fence. The shrubs on Hwy 81 need to be salt resistant and should be chosen and installed in consultation with the City Forester. The parking lot may need to be repaved or just seal coated. Luke Kujawa, General Manager of Crystal Marine, stated the company has been in business since 1956 and needs to expand. They will remove the weeds from the pavement and seal coat it, but they have no current plans to repave. No one appeared in opposition. Moved by Commissioner Krueger and seconded by Commissioner Kamp to close the public hearing. Motion carried.

The fence along the east side of the property shall be moved to within two feet of the parking lot curb, instead of the current fence location, which is in direct conflict with the existing Siberian Elm trees. ❑ The applicant shall enter into an agreement with the City to reimburse the City for the expenses of trimming the existing Siberian Elm trees along the east side of the property. No building permit for fence installation shall be approved until this agreement is executed. No tree trimming work shall be conducted unless it is under the direction of the City Forester. F:\GROUPS\COMDEVLP\PLANNING\PLANCOMM\1999\07-12\MINUTES.doc 3 July 12, 1999 ❑ The species and planting methods for the landscaping shown on the plans shall be subject to the approval of the City Forester. ❑ Signage will be in accordance with the Sign Ordinance. ❑ Screening will be maintained. ❑ The City Engineer will determine whether the parking lot needs to be resurfaced. ❑ The lighting shall be in compliance with City Code. ❑ Dying tree to be removed.

Chair Magnuson declared this was the time and the place as advertised for a public hearing to consider the 1999 Update of the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Crystal. Staff would like to continue the public hearing until August as need to make changes and content adjustments and would like to provide revised documents to the Planning Commissioners and City Council members. Moved by Commissioner Kamp and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to continue until August 9, 1999 the public hearing. Motion carried. C (1). Consideration of a revised site plan (previously approved as Application 98-14.3) for a proposed Walgreen's store at 5607 West Broadway and 6800 56`h Avenue North and (Palace Inn and Boston Market sites). Planner Sutter stated the changes to the site plan would increase the store size; drive through pharmacy will be reduced to a single lane and will be shifted from the west to the north side of the building; truck loading dock will be shifted from north to west side; parking stalls increase from 64 to 69 and enhanced landscaping at corner. The current site plan was approved last September and is valid through 1999. John Kohler, Semper Development, stated it would be a conveyor from the truck not a loading dock and deliveries once per week. They would like to break ground this year. Walgreen's wants 70 parking stalls and would like the option of 24-hour operation. They plan to combine the two parcels. F:\GROUPS\COMDEVLP\PLANNING\PLANCOMM\1999\07-12\MINUTES.doc 4 July 12, 9999 Commissioner Graham suggested an alternate parking layout to enlarge the landscaped area at the corner of Bass Lake Road and West Broadway. Commissioner Nystrom stated they would like as much green space as possible on the corner. Moved by Commissioner Graham and seconded by Commissioner Elsen to recommend to the City Council to approve a revised site plan (previously approved as Application 98-14.3) for a proposed Walgreen's store at 5607 West Broadway and 6800 56`h Avenue North and (Palace Inn and Boston Market sites), subject to the following conditions: ❑ The existing hydrant near the northwest corner of the property shall remain. ❑ All drive aisles must be at least 24 feet wide. ❑ As per staff discussions with the Hennepin County Highway Department, the exits from the parking lot to 56`h Avenue and West Broadway shall be signed with a stop sign and a right turn only sign. ❑ No sign permit shall be issued except for signs that would comply with City Code. ❑ No building permit shall be issued until Hennepin County has combined the two parcels into a single parcel, and the applicant has furnished evidence of this combination to the City. ❑ No building permit shall be issued until the applicant executes the required Site Improvement Agreement. ❑ The applicant shall work with staff to develop an enhanced landscaping plan, especially for the areas near the intersection of Bass Lake Road and West Broadway. The Planning Commission further states that it has no objection to 24-hour operation because the store is not located adjacent to any residential uses. Motion carried. C (2). Set a public hearing to consider rezoning from B-3 Auto -Oriented Commercial to B-4 Community Commercial for property located at 5415 West Broadway (former Crystal Foot Clinic). Moved by Commissioner Elsen and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to set 7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, Monday, August 9, F:\GROUPS\COMDEVLP\PLANNINGIPLANCOMM\1999107-121MINUTES.doc 5 July 12, 1999 1999, to consider the request to rezone the property at 5415 West Broadway from B-3 (Auto -Oriented Commercial) District to B-4 (Community Commercial) District.

The meeting adjourned at 8:43 p.m. Motion carried. Chair Magnuson Secretary Nystrom F:IGROUPSICOMDEVLP\PLANNING\PLANCOMM11999107-121MINUTES.doc M E M O R A N D U M DATE: August 3, 1999 TO: Planning Commission (August 91h meeting — Public Hearing #1) FROM: John Sutter, Planner SUBJ.: 5415 West Broadway (P.I.D. 05-118-21-44-0028 and 05-118-21-44-0010) Application 99-10.1: Rezoning from B-3 Auto Oriented Commercial to B-4 Community Commercial A. BACKGROUND This parcel, presently zoned B-3 Auto Oriented Commercial, was previously the location of Crystal Foot Clinic. The applicant and owner, Richard Woodis, recently purchased the subject property. The applicant intends to relocate an existing business, Twin City Vacuum, to the subject property from its present location along TH 100. A retail / service business like Twin City Vacuum is not permitted in the 13-3 District but would be permitted if the property were zoned B-4. At its meeting on July 12th, the Planning Commission set a public hearing for a request for Rezoning of the subject property from B-3 to B-4. The following informational items are attached: ❑ plat maps showing the subject property, and current and proposed zoning districts ❑ proposed Ordinance rezoning the subject property from B-3 to B-4 B. STAFF COMMENTS Staff believes that Rezoning to B-4 would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The current plan guides the subject property for Community Retail, and the draft plan update now under consideration guides it for Community Commercial. It is also important to note that abutting commercial properties are all zoned B-4, and that such Rezoning would be consistent with the desire for a less auto -dominated streetscape along West Broadway. C. SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT Crystal City Code (505.53 Subd. 1e) states, "The Planning Commission shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed [rezoning]." The following suggested findings reflect the specific factors listed in this section: ❑ The project is consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. ❑ The geographic area involved is appropriate for the proposed use. ❑ The use is not expected to depreciate the area in which it is proposed. ❑ The project is compatible with the character of the surrounding area. ❑ The demonstrated need for such use is apparent in the marketplace, as shown by the fact that the subject property has been used for years in ways consistent with the B-4 District despite being zoned B-3 Auto Oriented Commercial. D. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of application 99-10.1, a request for the rezoning of 5415 West Broadway (P.I.D. 05-118-21-44-0028 and 05-118-21-44-0010) from B-3 Auto Oriented Commercial to B-4 Community Commercial, as requested by Richard Woodis (applicant and owner). The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation on the request for City Council consideration. The City Council will consider first reading of the proposed ordinance at its next regular meeting on August 17t', and second reading at the following regular meeting on September 71n REZONING - 5415 WEST BROADWAY (TWIN CITY VACUUM) 2 ,svcf,v,V' H R A 3RD 3 o� co, FIRST -,FEDERAI RON Z rt f-3 r4 Ati 1 3 4 a 4i .55 11105 1 ea, 41PA AAL F*o s COWARD W.

BACKGROUND The subject property, 5719 35th Avenue North, was acquired by the Crystal Economic Development Authority (EDA) in 1998 through the City's Scattered Site Acquisition & Demolition program. The house formerly on the site was demolished in spring 1999. At present, the 35' Avenue right-of-way connects Yates and Xenia, but the street physically ends at midblock. This half block segment of 35th serves as the driveway access for the two houses adjacent to its intersection on Xenia (3455 and 3501 Xenia). The house formerly located on the EDA property, 5719 35t", also relied on 35" for driveway access. A storm sewer line runs approximately along the center line of the 35th Avenue right-of-way. The Planning Commission reviewed alternate concept plans for the property at their May 10th meeting, and set the public hearing to occur upon receipt of an application from the EDA. The EDA authorized staff to proceed with the selected concept at its June 1" meeting. A Request for Proposals for builders potentially interested in purchasing the lots was mailed to approximately 40 parties on July 14th. Proposals from builders are due on August 11th and are scheduled to be considered by the EDA on August 17th The Crystal EDA has submitted a request for plat approval for the subject property, together with vacation of adjacent right-of-way not being used for street purposes. Notice of Public Hearing was mailed to all property owners within 350 feet of the subject property, and was published in the Crystal-Robbinsdale Sun Post on July 28th The following informational items are attached: ❑ maps showing the project location, proposed street vacation and buildable lot areas ❑ Specification for Construction of New Single Family Houses ❑ Preliminary Plat RA A STAFF COMMENTS The proposed plat would create two lots, and each would be available for construction of a new single family house. Lot requirements (Section 515.15) are a minimum width of 60', a minimum depth of 100' and a minimum area of 7,500 sq. ft. Lot dimensions would be as follows: LOT ADDRESS MIN. WIDTH MAX. WIDTH MIN. DEPTH MAX. DEPTH AREA 1 3456 Yates 60' 60' 168' 177' 10,400 sq. ft. 2 3450 Yates 60' 67' 167' 177' 10,900 sq. ft. Yard requirements (Section 515.13) are a minimum front yard setback of 30', a minimum side yard setback of 5' and a minimum rear yard setback of 30'. The resulting buildable widths would be as follows: LOT ADDRESS 1 3456 Yates MIN. WIDTH MAX. WIDTH 43' 2 3450 Yates 50' 45.5' 50' Because the property is served by existing streets, water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer, no improvements will be required as a condition of plat approval. A park dedication fee of $400 will be paid by the Crystal EDA upon closing on the sale of the lots. (The fee is only applicable to one of the two lots because the site presently includes an existing residential lot.) The proposal complies with the requirements for plats in Crystal City Code. Drainage and utility easements along the front and rear of both lots will be shown on the final plat. The larger drainage and utility easement along the north side of Lot 1 (3456 Yates) will also be shown on the final plat. The easements along the common side lot line between the two lots and the south side of Lot 2 (3450 Yates) will not be shown on the final plat; they are not necessary because the utilities either run along the north side of Lot 1 (3456 Yates), Yates Avenue, or along the rear of the lots. Instead, the standard 5' side yard setback will govern along the common side lot line and the south side of Lot 2 (3450 Yates). SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT The proposed plat is consistent with the requirements of Crystal City Code. It will also provide additional opportunities for construction of new housing of a type which is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment goals. PRELIMINARY & FINAL PLAT - 5719 35TH AVE N (3450 & 3456 YATES AVE N) 2 D. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Application 99-11.8 for approval of Preliminary and Final Plat of Crystal Economic Development Authority Addition, proposed for property presently addressed as 5719 35th Avenue North (P.I.D. 21-118-21-21-- 0123) together with the adjacent street right-of-way to be vacated, for the purpose of creating two residential lots, submitted by the Crystal Economic Development Authority (applicant and owner). The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation on the request for City Council consideration. The City Council will consider a Resolution approving the Preliminary and Final Plat at its next regular meeting on August 17th. The City Council will also consider a Resolution vacating the street right of way at the same meeting.

The builder shall be licensed as such by the State of Minnesota. 3. If requested by EDA staff, provide proof of builder's risk, comprehensive general liability, and worker's compensation insurance coverage. 4. If requested by EDA staff, provide references from previous customers, suppliers and/or building inspectors. 5. Agree to complete construction within the time frame specified in "A" above. The Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement will include a provision which returns the ownership of the site to the EDA if the developer does not perform as specified. ; H. Developer Selection Procedures 1. Developers' proposals are due at Crystal City Hall no later than 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, August 11, 1999. Proposals may be submitted in person, by mail or Page 3 of 5 07/14!99 \%CY_FSIISYS%GROUPSICOMDEVLPIRedevelopment%Residential-ScatteredSitel35-57191newhouses-specifications.doc by facsimile. The address is 4141 Douglas Dr N, Crystal MN 55422; the facsimile number is 612-531-1188. 2. Upon receipt of the developers' proposals, EDA staff will evaluate the proposals and will make a recommendation to the EDA for consideration at its August 17, 1999 meeting. Proposals which do not meet the minimum criteria and/or the target price and value may be eliminated by staff from consideration by the EDA. 3. Once the EDA selects a particular developer's proposal, the developer shall make a formal offer by entering into a Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement and providing the $1,000 earnest money for each lot no later than '10 days after EDA acceptance of the Developer's proposal. 4. Closing on the sale of the property is expected to occur in late September 1999. The closing cannot occur until the adjacent 35th Avenue street easement has been vacated and the Crystal Economic Development Authority Addition plat has been recorded with Hennepin County. (The Crystal City Council will consider approval of the street vacation and the plat at its August 17, 1999 meeting.) I. Plan Review Process (for Building Permit) When applying for a building permit to construct the new house, the developer will need to provide the following to the Building Official as part of their application: ❑ Plans (2 copies) ❑ Land Survey (2 copies) with building elevations, site drainage patterns and easements ❑ Energy Calculations ❑ Any engineering plans (curb cuts, etc.) to be routed through the Building Official to the City Engineer The Building Official will forward the plans to EDA staff for review. EDA staff will review all plans to assure conformance with the developer's proposal and the Housing Design and Site Development Criteria. If any element of the plan is in conflict with the above criteria, EDA staff will notify the developer of any conflicts and note which changes are required. Unless the modifications can be clearly indicated on the originally submitted plans, the developer shall submit revised plans for final approval by the Building Official and EDA staff. J. Additional Information. 1. It is important to note that the subject property has not yet been platted; the enclosed plat (Crystal Economic Development Authority Addition) has not yet been approved and is expected to be considered by the City Council at their Page 4 of 5 07/14/99 \\CY_FS1\SYS\GROUPS\COMDEVLP\Redevelopment\Residential-ScatteredSite\35-5719\newhouses-specifications.doc meeting on August 17th. Both the Planning Commission and City Council have reviewed a concept plan for this plat and have not voiced any objections to date. Staff anticipates approval of the plat; in the event that the plat is not approved, all proposals will be rejected. 2. The owners of 3444 Yates (immediately south of the proposed 3450 Yates) will be purchasing Outlot A as shown on the enclosed proposed plat, in order to expand their lot to enable them to construct a double attached garage for their existing house. With ownership of the 7' wide outlot, and considering the City's required 5' side yard setback, they would be able to construct a garage not to exceed 18' in width. However, they may apply for a variance from the side yard requirement, to reduce the setback from 5' to 3' thus allowing a 20' wide garage. It is not known at this time what the staff recommendation on such a variance request would be; however, there may be grounds to approve this variance based on the steeply sloping topography of the lot which makes construction of a detached garage in the rear of the lot highly impractical. K. Required Attachments. Be sure to include a site plan, floor plans, and building elevations for each side of the proposed house. Such plans shall be drawn to scale and drawn on 81/2" x 11" paper.

Deletions are indicated by ; additions are indicated with underlining. Staff recommends approval of the revised draft of the Comprehensive Plan for submittal to Metropolitan Council. A Planning Commission recommendation on the plan is requested. At its next regular meeting on August 17`h, the City Council will consider a Resolution approving the plan for submittal to Metropolitan Council. Following Metropolitan Council's review and comments, staff will prepare final revisions for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council. M E M O R A N D U M DATE: August 4, 1999 TO: Planning Commission (August 91h meeting - Item C-1) FROM: John Sutter, Planner and Redevelopment Coordinator. SUBJ.: Proposed Assisted Living Facility for Nafstad Property Lang Nelson expects to submit an application for a 75 unit assisted living facility, with a site that would include the southern portion of the Nafstad property and the houses at 2956 and 3006 Douglas Drive. (Please see the attached site concept.) Note: Previously, the concept was for 70 units with the site not to include the houses on Douglas. The preference of staff and the developer is to acquire and remove the two houses on Douglas Drive to provide a more aesthetically appealing view along Douglas and to increase the useable area of the assisted living site. The additional five assisted living units are necessary for the developer to be able to participate with the City in the cost of acquiring the two houses on Douglas. Compensation amounts have been discussed with the affected owners and purchase agreements have been provided to the owners for their consideration. To accomplish this development, the following will need to be approved by the City Council: Street vacation (30th Avenue); re -platting of the property; and, for the assisted living site, a Comprehensive Plan amendment, rezoning (to R-4) and site plan review. (Please note that staff will conduct a more thorough review upon receipt of a more detailed set of plans from the developer.) If an application is received by August 23`d, the public hearing would be held at the Planning Commission's September 13" meeting. Also, a neighborhood meeting would be held 1-2 weeks prior to the Planning Commission public hearing. Staff would send notice of the neighborhood meeting and the public hearing to owners within 1,050 feet of the project site. This would be three times the required distance, and would extend roughly as far as 32nd Avenue to the north, Georgia Avenue to the west, and the City of Golden Valley to the south. A legal notice of the public hearing would also be published as per standard procedure. Staff requests authorization to proceed with the necessary public hearings upon receipt of a completed application from the developer. i �x IC4,11 Ll ,•� - �. 840 - - __� 1 1 . �� - �45�'INy ft-_._,..
