The following were absent: Bonnell and Koss. Also present were Community Development Director Norris, Planner Sutter and Recording Secretary Scofield. A. Moved by Commissioner Elsen and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to approve the minutes of the April 12, 1999, meeting. Motion carried. B (1). Chair Magnuson declared this was the time and the place as advertised for a public hearing to consider Application 99-5.8, submitted by Larry M. Larson & Laureen B. Larson (applicants and owners) and Tony C. Linn & Laurie J. Adams (owners), for Lot Combination and Redivision at 6013 36 Avenue North and 3538 Brunswick Avenue North (P.I.D. 21-118-21-22-0010 and 21-118-21-22-0011). Planner Sutter stated this is a realignment of lot lines and that "Parcel A" is a non - saleable lot without street frontage. No one appeared in opposition. Moved by Commissioner Elsen and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to close the public hearing. Motion carried. Moved by Commissioner Elsen and seconded by Commissioner Krueger to recommend to the City Council to approve Application 99-5.8, submitted by Larry M. Larson & Laureen B. Larson (applicants and owners) and Tony C. Linn & Laurie J. Adams (owners), for Lot Combination and Redivision at 6013 36 Avenue North and 3538 Brunswick Avenue North (P.I.D. 21-118-21-22-0010 and 21-118-21-22-0011). The findings of fact are as follows: ❑ Because "Parcel A" on the survey has no street, water or sanitary sewer frontage, it shall not be considered a lot in accordance with Crystal City code. a Because this action of the City of Crystal does not create a new lot, "Parcel A" shall not be assigned a unique Property Identification Number (P.I.D.) by Hennepin County. For Zoning and Property Tax purposes, the parcel at 3538 Brunswick shall include both "Parcel A" and "Parcel C" under a single P.I.D. (21-118-21-22-0011). Motion carried. F:\G ROU PS\COM DEVLP\PLANNING\P LA NCOMM\1999\05-10\M I N UTES.doc 222 May 10, 1999 C (1). Review and make recommendation to City Council regarding a revised site plan submitted by Automotive Concepts at 5160 West Broadway. Staff presented the following: Relocation of the trash enclosure outside the fenced area for haulers to pick up refuse from the site outside of normal business hours. Landscaping rock around the enclosure instead of landscaping both islands. The racks extending along the north and east lot lines are acceptable as visibility is minimized. Chair thought all vehicles would be inside over night and would like staff to review this. Moved by Commissioner Kamp and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to continue until June 14 meeting the discussion of a revised site plan submitted by Automotive Concepts at 5160 West Broadway. Motion carried. C (2). Review a concept plan and set a public hearing for Site Plan Review for construction of a 5,000 -sq. ft. cemetery maintenance building at Glen Haven Memorial Gardens. Planner Sutter said the building would be painted metal. Unpainted metal or unadorned concrete block is not permitted under the site plan ordinance. Commissioner Kamp expressed concerns about metal building. Chair Magnuson asked staff to look into previous rejection of Norcostco's metal building proposal. Moved by Commissioner VonRueden and seconded by Commissioner Graham to direct staff to proceed with a public hearing for Site Plan Review for construction of a 5,000 sq. ft. cemetery maintenance building at Glen Haven Memorial Gardens upon receipt of a completed application from the developer. Motion carried. Commissioner Kamp left at 7:55 p.m. C (3). Review a concept plan and set a public hearing for the following requests related to property located between Douglas Drive and Brunswick Avenue and between 29 Avenue North and 32 Avenue North: ❑ Right -of -Way vacation for segments of 30`h Ave N and Colorado Ave N; ❑ Preliminary and Final Plat to create one building lot and one outlot; ❑ An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to guide the building lot for High Density Residential; ❑ Rezoning of the building lot from R-1 Single Family Residential to R-4 High Density Residential; and ❑ Site Plan Review for construction of a 75 unit assisted living facility. Planner Sutter stated this concept assumes the two houses on Douglas at 2956 and 3006 would be included with the southern portion of the Nafstad site. Suggested rezoning to F:\GROUPS\CO M DEVLP\P LAN N i NG\PLAN CO M M\1999\05 -10\M INUTES.doc 223 May 10, 1999 PUD to allow for a density bonus and eliminate the need for Comprehensive Plan amendment. Balance of the property would be for park. Moved by Commissioner Krueger and seconded by Commissioner VonRueden to direct staff to proceed with a public hearing upon receipt of a completed application from the developer for the following requests related to property located between Douglas Drive and Brunswick Avenue and between 29 Avenue North and 32 Avenue North: ❑ Right -of -Way vacation for segments of 30" Ave N and Colorado Ave N; ❑ Preliminary and Final Plat to create one building lot and one outlot; ❑ Rezoning of the building lot from R-1 Single Family Residential to PUD Planned Unit Development; and ❑ Site Plan Review for construction of a 75 unit assisted living facility. Neighborhood meeting should be held before July meeting with notification of property owners within 1,050 ft. of property. Motion carried. C (4). Review a concept plan and set a public hearing for street vacation and replatting of a City -owned lot to create two lots at 35' and Yates. Planner Sutter stated EDA would likely consider concepts at their June 1 meeting. If two lots were created, City may have to move the storm sewer depending on the lot width desired. Planning Commission wanted to know the value of the lots. Moved by Commissioner Elsen and seconded by Commissioner Graham to direct staff to proceed with a public hearing for street vacation and replatting of a City -owned lot to create two lots at 35th and Yates as soon as input is available from the EDA. Motion carried. C (5). Set a public hearing for rezoning of 5301-5325 Edgewood Avenue North from B-4 Community Commercial to R-1 Single -Family Residential. Planner Sutter stated owner of 5307 Edgewood would like to sell house, but buyer has been denied loan based solely on house's nonconforming use status. Rezoning of these properties would better reflect the realistic expectation that these houses will remain for the foreseeable future, and rezoning would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Moved by Commissioner Graham and seconded by Commissioner Krueger to direct staff to proceed with a public hearing June 14, 1999, for rezoning of 5301-5325 Edgewood Avenue North from B-4 Community Commercial to R-1 Single -Family Residential. Motion carried. C (6). Discussion Item: Potential request to construct a church on the 10 -acre development site located at the northwest corner of 47h and Zane.

Moved by Commissioner Elsen and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 9:35 p.m. Motion carried. Chair Magnuson Secretary Nystrom F:\GROUPS\COMDEVLP\PLANNING\PLANCOMMX1999kO5-lO\MINUTES.doc M E M O R A N D U M DATE: June 10, 1999 TO: Planning Commission (June 14th meeting — Public Hearing #1) FROM: John Sutter, Planner SUBJ.: Glen Haven Memoriaf Gardens Maintenance Building (P.I.D. 09-118-21-32-0028) Application 99-6.3: Site Plan Review (The effect of the request would be construction of a 5,000 sq. ft. cemetery maintenance building and associated storage yards.) A. BACKGROUND Crystal Lakes Cemetery Association, applicant and owner, is proposing to construct a 5,000 sq. ft. cemetery maintenance building adjacent to the southerly boundary of Glen Haven Memorial Gardens. The new maintenance building is necessary because the existing maintenance building will be demolished to make way for construction of a funeral home on the northeasterly edge of the cemetery property adjacent to West Broadway. The following informational items are attached: ❑ plat map showing the subject property and adjacent parcels; ❑ narrative provided by developer describing the project; ❑ set of preliminary plans for the project. B. STAFF COMMENTS 1. Property. The site for the proposed building would be near the northwest corner of Second Addition to Glen Haven Memorial Gardens. The subject property is one of four parcels owned by Crystal Lakes Cemetery Association and used for Glen Haven Memorial Gardens. A replat of three of the four cemetery parcels, incorporating First, Second and Third Additions into a new Fourth Addition to Glen Haven Memorial Gardens,. was approved by the City Council on March 16th. However, the final plat has not yet been submitted to the City for signature by the Mayor and City Clerk. Once this plat is signed and recorded, the site of the proposed maintenance building will be located near the southwest corner of Outlot A, Fourth Addition to Glen Haven Memorial Gardens. 2. Proposed Building. The building would be 50'x 100', with a gross floor area of 5,000 sq. ft. Exterior walls would be gray metal panels; the roof would be white metal. The building height would be 18'. The building would have entrances on the east and west sides, each one adjacent to a 50'x 82' equipment and material storage yard. The materials to be stored include dirt from cemetery operations; these materials are presently stored on-site in the approximate location of the proposed building. The intent of the Site Plan Review ordinance as it relates to exterior building appearance is stated in 520.23 Subd. 1: Intent. It is not the intent of the City to restrict design freedom unduly when reviewing project architecture in connection with a site and building plan. However, it is in the best interest of the City to promote high standards of architectural design and compatibility with surrounding structures and neighborhoods. The use of metal as an exterior material for buildings is discussed more specifically in Section 520.23 Subd. 2: Exterior Materials. Blank walls, unadorned prestressed concrete panels, concrete block and unfinished metal are not permitted as exterior materials for residential or non-residential buildings. This restriction does not apply to industrial uses, provided that adequate screening is included in the design. This restriction applies to principal structures and to accessory buildings except those accessory buildings not visible from any exterior property line. The City Council may, at its discretion, allow architecturally enhanced block or concrete panels. Staff does not believe this language prohibits the use of metal as an exterior material provided the panels are "finished". Staff has interpreted the term "finished" to mean that the panel is painted or otherwise coated with a material to protect the metal from the elements. For this reason, staff believes that the proposed building complies with Subd. 2 ("Exterior Materials"). Staff believes that it is an open question whether or not the building meets the intent of Subd. 1 to "promote compatibility with surrounding structures and neighborhoods." Staff understands that the Commission has concerns about the appearance of a metal building in a non -industrial area. If the Planning Commission finds that a metal building in this location is not compatible with surrounding land uses, then such a finding should be based on the type of materials used in the nearest buildings (the Community Center and the swimming pool building). The Planning Commission may also want to consider amending the ordinance to prohibit all metal buildings in non -industrial areas, not just those that are unfinished. SITE PLAN REVIEW - GLEN HAVEN MEMORIAL GARDENS MAINTENANCE BUILDING 2 3. Zoning and Land Use. The subject property is zoned R-1 Single Family Residential. Cemeteries are neither a permitted nor conditional use in this or any other district. However, staff believes that this was an oversight and not a deliberate attempt to prohibit cemeteries from locating within the City, especially since the Comprehensive Plan includes a Cemetery land use category. Furthermore, staff believes that construction of the proposed building would simply be continuing an existing use since the new maintenance building will be replacing an existing one, and the equipment and material yards will be used to store materials that are currently stored on-site in large piles that are in open view of adjacent properties. The subject property is guided for Cemetery in the Comprehensive Plan. Staff opinion is that the proposed building would be consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, and that future revisions to the Zoning Ordinance should include adding cemeteries and associated maintenance buildings as conditional uses in the R-1 District. Abutting properties are also zoned R-1 Single Family Residential. The land uses surrounding the cemetery are public institutional, recreation and single family residential to the west; single family residential to the south and east; and commercial and industrial to the north and east. Generally, the building is a fair distance from potentially conflicting uses, as indicated by the following summary of approximate separation distances: *To the fronts of the houses along Zane Avenue east of the building: 495' from the storage yard; 545' from the building. *To the fronts of the houses along 47`h Avenue south of the building: 800' from the storage yards; 810' from the building. *To the rear of the house at 4724 Colorado southwest of the building: 500' from the storage yards; 510' from the building. *To the rear of the Community Center west of the building: 330' from the storage yard; 380' from the building. One area of concern is the fact that Outlot B of Fourth Addition to Glen Haven Memorial Gardens (currently described as the southerly ten acres of Second Addition) has been designated by the owner for possible sale and development. While the City Council has rejected one proposal for development of Outlot B,' other proposals may be submitted in the near future. Staff has concerns regarding the minimal separation distances that would likely result from any development on the ten acre site, especially since it is guided and zoned for SITE PLAN REVIEW - GLEN HAVEN MEMORIAL GARDENS MAINTENANCE BUILDING 3 single family residential uses. If, for example, the area were developed for single family houses with a 30' rear yard setback, then the rear of the maintenance building would be only 60' from the houses (and the storage yards would be only 50' from the houses). Staff feels that the property owner needs to better coordinate its plans for the maintenance building with its plans to sell the ten acre site for development, in order to reduce the potential for future land use conflicts. We suggest that this be discussed with the owner's representative at the June 14th meeting. 4. Access and Parking. The building will have access through the existing cemetery driveway network. No new access points or curb cuts to public streets are included in the proposal. Because the building will essentially be a large parking garage for vehicles and equipment, off-street parking requirements should be minimal. Treating the building like a warehouse (one stall per 1,500 sq. ft. of floor area) would yield a parking requirement of three stalls. The site plan shows seven stalls. All new access and parking areas would be hard surfaced with curb & gutter, as required by the Zoning Ordinance. 5. Fire Safety. According to Dave Linderholm of West Metro Fire & Rescue (612-537-2323), the building will need to sprinkled and a hydrant will need to be installed adjacent to the access road on the north side of the building. 6. Landscaping and Screening. In order to screen the building and storage yards from abutting properties, the applicant is proposing to plant 50 evergreen trees, 37 of which would be planted in two staggered rows along the west, south and east sides of the facility. (The 13 other trees would be planted in a denser single row across the north side of the seven parking stalls.) In addition, the facility would be surrounded by a 6' chain link fence with green plastic slats to provide additional screening. Because the trash enclosure would be located within the screened area, it is not required to be screened under 520.37 Subd. 1(e) provided it is not visible from lot lines of public roads. 7. Site Improvement Agreement. SITE PLAN REVIEW - GLEN HAVEN MEMORIAL GARDENS MAINTENANCE BUILDING 4 A Site Improvement Agreement will be required. The amount of financial surety required will not be known until the applicant submits the required Table of Estimated Project Cost. C. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Application 99-6.3, submitted by Crystal Lakes Cemetery Association (applicant and owners), for Site Plan Review for construction of a 5,000 sq. ft. cemetery maintenance building and associated storage yard at Glen Haven Memorial Gardens, 5100 Douglas Drive North (P.I.D. 09-118-21-32-0028), and subject to the following conditions: ❑ This site plan approval is tied to the current use of the property as a cemetery. The use of the proposed facility to store maintenance equipment and materials is permissible only as an accessory use of the cemetery, which is a continuing non- conforming use in the R-1 District. Approval of this site plan does not permit the use of the proposed facility for non -cemetery purposes. ❑ Outdoor materials storage is permitted only for those materials necessary for and integral to the operation of the cemetery. The height of the material piles shall not exceed the height of the fence or the screening trees in a way which makes the piles visible from adjacent properties. ❑ Modifications to the site plan necessary for fire and building code compliance, as determined by the City's Building Official and West Metro Fire and Rescue, shall be completed by the applicant as part of the building permit process. ❑ No building permit shall be issued until the applicant executes the required Site Improvement Agreement. The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation on the request for City Council consideration. Staff will write a summary of the issues raised in the Planning Commission meeting and provide it to the City Council at their next meeting on June 15th to supplement the staff report. The City Council will consider the request at the June '15th meeting unless staff is directed to wait until the July 6th City Council meeting to present the Planning Commission recommendation.

V MAR 18 '99 11:19 FR SCI 713 TO 916125311188 P.02i02 -� Project Narrative for Glen Haven Cemetery and Funeral Home Crystal Lakes Cemetery Association, as the owner of Glen Haven Memorial Park Cemetery proposes to construct a new funeral home of 8,030 square feet. This funeral home would be located on the West Side of West Broadway just south of the existing pond. This structure will be constructed using a wood frame with a brick fagade extending from the ground to the eave of the roof. The roof will be covered with asphalt shingles. The gabled ends of the building will be constructed of wood siding. Access to the site will be from West Broadway via a newly constructed cemetery road on the south side of the existing pond to an existing interior road. There will.be two points of access from this private road onto the funeral home site. Eighty conventional parking spaces (Including four handicap spaces) and twelve processional parking spaces (92 total) have been provided. Landscaping to enhance the view along West Broadway in front of the funeral home and to meet the City's landscape requirements has been planned. A monument sign that conforms to the City's size, setback and site triangle requirements is planned next to the entry on West Broadway. The funeral home will have offices, selection rooms, a hospitality room, a dressing room and a chapel. The chapel can be divided to provide a chapel and a stateroom. No cremation or embalming is anticipated at this location. These functions will be --. conducted at nearby facilities_ The maintenance buildings for the cemetery presently exist on the portion of this property where the funeral home is proposed. To accommodate the funeral home, we propose to relocate the maintenance buildings to one building to be constructed on the west side of Zane Avenue on the north side of new outlot "B". This will be a metal clad building. There will also be a maintenance yard area that will allow for outside storage and employee parking. The easterly half of Glen Haven Cemetery will be replatted to accommodate the funeral home (rezone from R-1 tc R -O and CUP) and creation of a ten acre parcel on the south end of the cemetery to be sold. ** TOTAL PAGE.02 ** 99000t 9/118/21 SCI FUNERAL SERVICES ADVANCE SURVEYING & ENGINEERING CO. 5300 S.

LN14 LENGE (-LIGHT 67rzEEN) M E M O R A N D U M DATE: June 10, 1999 TO: Planning Commission (June 14th meeting — Public Hearing #2) FROM: John Sutter, Planner SUBJ.: 5301, 5307, 5313, 5319 and 5325 Edgewood Avenue North (P.I.D. 08-118-21-11-0013, 0012, 0011, 0010 and 0009) Application 99-7.1: Rezoning five houses from B-4 Community Commercial to R-1 Single Family Residential A. BACKGROUND These five lots, presently zoned B-4 Community Commercial, have single-family houses that are legal non -conforming uses. It appears that they were zoned B-4 at the time the Zoning Ordinance was adopted in 1976; staffs best guess is that they were zoned that way to accommodate acquisition and demolition of the houses, vacation of Edgewood Avenue from 53�d to West Broadway, and assemblage of a larger redevelopment site from these parcels plus the existing commercial areas along West Broadway. However, the five houses appear to be in fairly decent condition and are not currently considered to be a potential redevelopment area for the City. The owner of the house at 5307 Edgewood would like to sell the house, but the buyer has been denied a loan based solely on the house's nonconforming use status. The seller and the buyer have asked that the City consider rezoning this property, along with the other four houses, from B-4 to R-1 to better reflect the realistic expectation that these houses will remain for the foreseeable future. At its meeting on May 10th, the Planning Commission initiated a request for Rezoning of the subject property from B-4 to R-1. 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-4 to R-1 B. STAFF COMMENTS Staff believes that this rezoning would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The current plan guides these parcels for mixed use, and the draft plan update now under consideration guides them for low density residential. Staff also believes that the City should initiate this rezoning as a "clean-up" action to bring the zoning of these properties in line with their present and most likely future use. C. SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT Crystal City Code (505.53 Subd. le) 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 properties have remained in use as single family houses despite being non -conforming uses in the B-4 Community Commercial District. D. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of application 99-7.1, a Planning Commission initiated request for the rezoning of 5301, 5307, 5313, 5319 and 5325 Edgewood Avenue North (P.I.D. 08-118-21-11-0013, 0012, 0011, 0010 and 0009) from B-4 Community Commercial to R-1 Single Family Residential. ' 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 July 15`h, and second reading at the following regular meeting on July 6th.

Mayor ATTEST: Clerk 06/10/99 F:\GROUPS\COMDEVLP\PLANNING\Applications\1999\07(Edgewood-rezoning)\ordinance-rezoningl.doc M E M O R A N D U M DATE: June 10, 1999 TO: Planning Commission (June 14`h meeting — Public Hearing #3) FROM: John Sutter, Planner SUBJ.: 1999 Update of Crystal Comprehensive Plan As you know, the Metropolitan Council has granted the City of Crystal an extension of time through June 1999 to complete the 1999 Comprehensive Plan Update. We have provided copies of the draft plan to: City Council; Planning Commission; City Department Heads; the chairs of the EDA Advisory Commission, the Environmental Quality Commission; and the Parks & Recreation Commission; our five adjacent cities; ISD 281; and the Metropolitan Airports Commission. We have received comments back from some but not all of these parties. The comments received to date generally discuss relatively minor (though numerous) grammatical, numerical or formatting errors rather than significant policy issues. Additional information has recently become available regarding the airport's economic impact and planned recreational trails to be included as part of the Highway 100 project. City and Metropolitan Council staff agree that this information needs to be incorporated into the plan before it is approved by the City and submitted to Metropolitan Council for review. Some examples of the revisions that need to be completed before plan approval: ❑ Pages 6-16 (Socioeconomic). Some of these tables have numerical errors that will require more time to correct. In addition, in places the text needs to be updated to match the data in the adjacent tables. ❑ Page 43 (Figure 7 — "Future Land Use"). The proposed land use designation of the area immediately north of Lamplighter Apartments is be changed from High Density Residential to Low Density Residential. In addition, we would like to consider changing the designation of the area around 42nd & Douglas from "Mixed Use Town Center" to "Mixed Use Rockford Road" (or some other name), to reduce confusion with the Crystal Town Center which is located 1'/z miles to the north at West Broadway and Bass Lake Road. ❑ Pages 93-96 (Aviation). Several revisions are necessary, including recognition that both a long range plan and economic impact study have now been completed for the Crystal ' Airport. In general, the new plan recognizes that the airport will likely remain in its present location and configuration for the time frame of the plan, even though the City would prefer it to be relocated to reduce safety hazards and provide additional land for development. ❑ Pages 105-117 (Parks, Open Space and Trails Element). In addition to some necessary updating (especially with the trails plan on p.115), there are also many minor numerical and grammatical errors that need to be corrected. Metropolitan Council staff have stated that they do not feel it is essential for the plan to be submitted before the June 301h deadline, especially since part of the reason for our delay is to incorporate recently developed information from other parties. Staff requests that the Planning Commission continue the public hearing until their next meeting on July 12, 1999. We will include a summary of changes in the packet for the July 12th meeting (with the understanding that changes related solely to grammar, spelling and syntax do not need to be enumerated for the Planning Commission and City Council). REZONING - 5301-5325 EDGEWOOD 2 M E M O R A N D U M DATE: June 10, 1999 TO: Planning Commission (June 14" meeting — Item C-1) FROM: John Sutter, Planner SUBJ.: 5160 West Broadway — Automotive Concepts P.I.D. 09-118-21-24-0023 A. BACKGROUND On June 16, 1998, the City Council approved a Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit for Automotive Concepts to remodel an existing building and construct an addition to house their auto customizing business. On July 21, 1998, the City Council approved an amended Site Plan reflecting a larger building addition and rear parking area than originally approved. Since that time the Automotive Concepts operation has expanded beyond its size at the time of these approvals, and has attempted to address the resulting space issues with several changes; staff determined that these changes would require Planning Commission and City Council review and approval. The following conditions were included as part of the City Council's approval of the Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit: • All parking shall be accommodated off street, whether for customers, employees or for vehicles to be worked on, being worked on or that have been worked on. Inoperative vehicles shall not be stored outside. • Outside storage shall be as shown and described in the applicant's site plan and narrative, and shall be limited to pickup toppers, running boards and similar automotive accessories. • No building permit shall be issued until the applicant executes the required Site Improvement Agreement. • It is understood that the property owner would not object to a City -initiated rezoning of the subject property from B-3 Auto -Oriented Commercial to 1-2 Heavy Industrial. • City staff shall examine the site one year after City Council approval to ensure that the open and outdoor storage is being conducted in accordance with the site plan. The following informational items are attached: ❑ plat map showing the subject property; ❑ letter from Automotive Concepts dated April 29, 1999 ❑ site plan approved by the City Council on July 21, 1998; and ❑ revised site plan submitted by Automotive Concepts. B. STAFF COMMENTS 1. The revised site plan includes the following changes: a. The original site plan showed the trash enclosure located at the northeast corner of the site, within the fenced parking area. The revised site plan shows the trash enclosure located on the island area east of the truck loading area, immediately outside the gate. Staff believes that this location makes sense in order for trash haulers to pick up refuse from the site outside of normal business hours. However, the enclosure should be kept closed except when loading or unloading, and no refuse or recyclables may be stored outside the enclosure. b. The original site plan showed landscaping on the islands on each side of the truck loading area. Now that the trash enclosure has been located on one of them, the owner would like to maintain a landscaping rock ground cover around the enclosure. Staff has no objection to this change, provided the other island is landscaped as shown in the original site plan. C. The original site plan showed outside storage racks extending along part of the north lot line. The revised site plan shows the racks extending along the north and east lot lines. The Zoning Ordinance (515.35 Subd. 4 c) states, "Storage [shall be] screened from view of the public right-of-way in compliance with Sub -Section 515.07 Subd. 9 of this Code. " Staff believes that the 450' distance from West Broadway to the rear (east side) of the site minimizes the visibility of the outdoor storage, and that as a result such expansion of the storage area would be acceptable. However, the Planning Commission may want to consider recommending a height limitation on any outdoor storage not screened by the building, if it is not comfortable with the appearance of the storage racks from West Broadway. Cl. The original site plan showed the fence approximately 12 feet from the property line along the rear (east side) of the site. The revised site plan shows the fence approximately 8 feet from the rear property line. Staff feels that this is essentially a housekeeping item which does not represent a significant change in the site plan. 2. In addition to the revised site plan, there are some other issues related to Automotive Concepts: MODIFICATIONS TO SITE PLAN - 5160 WEST BROADWAY 2 a. Trucks had been stopping, parking and/or unloading in traffic lanes on West Broadway. This practice has apparently been discontinued since the owner began keeping enough space clear in his rear parking lot to allow for trucks to maneuver on-site. In the rare event that two trucks are on site at the same time, the owner should have the second truck wait on the striped shoulder lane on Corvallis Avenue (from West Broadway to County Road 81) until the first truck completes its unloading. Staff will continue to observe the site on a random basis in an effort to ensure that the truck problem does not reoccur. b. The parking of vehicles on sidewalks and boulevards along West Broadway, and on the site's areas for landscaping to be installed, has apparently been discontinued by the owner. Staff feels that as long as the landscaping is installed this season as shown on the original site plan, and as long as vehicles do not resume parking or driving over these areas in the future, then this has become a non -issue. C. Automotive Concepts has a lease on the parking lot at 5128 Hanson Ct, and is using it to park vehicles waiting to be modified or which have been modified. The lot was constructed when the nearby All-American Self Storage building was used as a machine shop and needed parking for its employees. The parking lot was constructed with perimeter curb & gutter, and it complies with our required 5' setback from the property lines. Since the machine shop has been converted to indoor storage, the parking lot at 5128 Hanson Ct is no longer needed for the nearby building. Thus the lot had not been used until Automotive Concepts began using it. The owner has requested that he be exempted from the parking lot striping requirement because the lot will be used only to park vehicles before or after they are worked on, and not for employee or customer parking. Staff would not object to waiving the striping requirement, provided the owner agrees to stripe the lot according to our parking regulations if in the future the lot is used by employees or customers. C. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SINCE MAY 10T" MEETING The Planning Commission asked staff to investigate the question of whether or not the applicant was directed to park all vehicles inside when they previously appeared before the Planning Commission. Staff reviewed the minutes and found no reference to such direction. Staff also reviewed the Planning Commission meeting audio tapes from June 8, 1998 and July 13, 1998, however, while an attempt to record the meeting was apparently made, the tapes did not record the proceedings due to what is presumably a mechanical or electronic problem with the recording system. Staff recollection is that the discussions regarding moving vehicles indoors were in the context of Crystal Collision Center, which was also on the agenda at the June 8th and MODIFICATIONS TO SITE PLAN - 5160 WEST BROADWAY 3 July 13" meetings. Staff does not recall any discussion regarding a requirement or condition that Automotive Concepts move all of its vehicles indoors after business hours. The following condition was included in the staff report to the Planning Commission and was included in the Planning Commission's recommendation accepted by the City Council: All parking shall be accommodated off street, whether for customers, employees or for vehicles to be worked on, being worked on or that have been worked on. Inoperative vehicles shall not be stored outside. This seems to state that only off street parking was required as long as the vehicles were operable. If the goal was to require that all vehicles be moved inside each evening, it would seem logical for this paragraph to be modified to include that type of requirement. In addition, this type of requirement would have been sufficiently unusual and burdensome to the applicant that it would have been expected to cause the applicant to withdraw their plans for the site and for the project to not proceed. For these reasons, staff believes that the discussions about parking vehicles inside at the June 8th and July 13th meetings were in relation to Crystal Collision Center and not to Automotive Concepts. De RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the modified site plan be approved, subject to the following conditions in addition to those approved with the original site plan and conditional Use Permit: ❑ The trash enclosure should 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. ❑ The areas shown to be landscaped on the original site plan shall be landscaped as shown, 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 truck dock) shall be landscaped as shown in the original site plan. ❑ Trucks shall not park, stop, load or unload in traffic lanes on West Broadway or other public roadway. The owner shall preserve sufficient clear space for trucks to maneuver on the site. ❑ Vehicles shall not park, stop, load or unload on the sidewalks and boulevards along West Broadway or on the site's landscaping areas. - ❑ In the event that the parking lot at 5128 Hanson Court is used for any purpose other than the parking of vehicles that either are to be or have been worked on at MODIFICATIONS TO SITE PLAN - 5160 WEST BROADWAY 4 Automotive Concepts, then the owner shall stripe the lot in accordance with the requirements of Crystal City Code. The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation on the request for City Council consideration. Staff will write a summary of the issues raised in the Planning Commission meeting and provide it to the City Council at their next meeting on June 15" to supplement the staff report. The City Council will consider the request at the June 15" meeting unless staff is directed to wait until the July 6th City Council meeting to present the Planning Commission recommendation.

John Sutter City of Crystal 4141 Douglas Drive Crystal, MN 55422 Subject: Compliance with site plan We appreciate your patience in working with us on these matters. 1. The truck turn around area has been cleared and is being used in the way it was intended. One of my employees, Lyle Horner, had a conversation with counsel members Gary Grimes and Ed Thonander. They told him that the City may approve making West Broadway (in front of our building) a designated loading zone. It is done -� through the county but approval from the city is a help. Do you know anything about this? We would like to pursue this if it is an option. We could use the extra parking in the back. 2. The site plan for the position of the fence has been corrected by Mohagen architects. 3. The outdoor storage does exceed the area shown on site plan. We have revised the site plan showing the new outside storage areas. We are hoping the city will approve the expanded storage. We have added green fence blocking to improve the look of our property. 4. The trash enclosure was placed in a different area then on plan. We submit the corrected site plan for city approval. 5. We have a lease to store our vehicles at 5128 Hanson Court (See enclosed lease). We will only use this property to store vehicles so we request that you waive any stripping requirements. This information should clear up any issue the city has with us. I will be attending the May 18 city counsel meeting in case any officials have questions for me.

The property also includes a single family house (with an addition about to begin) and a 3 -car detached garage. Staff has reviewed the definition of "Home Occupation" and the regulations governing home occupations in the Zoning Ordinance. It appears that the ordinance states or at least implies that a home occupation is not to be conducted from an accessory building (since it is supposed to be "engaged in at or from the dwelling". However, an alternate interpretation could be that the term "dwelling" also includes a building accessory thereto (although this might be a bit of a stretch). In any event, staff believes the intent of the ordinance is to permit home occupations only within the dwelling and not in any accessory building. Questions for discussion.- ,:j iscussion: ❑ Does the Planning Commission agree that the Zoning Ordinance does not allow home occupations except when located within the dwelling and not in any accessory building? ❑ Does the Planning Commission feel our current restrictions on home occupations are too restrictive, and that staff should explore possible revisions to the Zoning Ordinance to allow a wider variety and scope of home occupations?
