E. The provisions of this Chapter shall pertain to all lawful nonconforming uses or
structures as applicable and specifically to the performance standards outlined in the
established districts.
F. Administrative Non-Conforming Expansion Permit.
(1)The City, through its Community Development Director or Planning Manager, may
permit an expansion of a non-conforming structure imposing reasonable regulations
to prevent a public nuisance or protect the public health, welfare and safety pursuant
to Minnesota State Statute Section 462.357, Subdivision 1(e)(b). It may be possible
for a non-conforming structure to be expanded only if the expansion does not increase
the non-conformity present and meets the relevant land use regulations, including but
not limited to lot coverage, setbacks, and height.
(2)Application.
In order to be able to legally expand a structure that is non-conforming, an application
for a Non-conforming Expansion Permit must be made to the City. The application
must be on forms provided by the City and must be accompanied by the following:
(a)Completed application form with property owner’s signature;
(b)Scalable Certificate of Survey of the property which shows, at a minimum, all lot
lines, existing and proposed structures, driveways and parking areas, setbacks,
easements, significant topographical features, and mature trees;
(c)Fee required by Chapter 11 of City Code; and
(d)Such other documentation as may be required by the City.
Ordinance No. 1330 Page 18
(3)Decisions.
The City shall make its decision subject to condition within sixty (60) days of receipt
of completed application. An expansion permit for a non-conforming structure may
be granted by the Community Development Director or Planning Manager if the
applicant meets the burden of proving:
(1)The expansion does not increase or intensify the existing non-conformity;
(2)The expansion would be architecturally compatible with the existing principal
structure;
(3)Adequacy of off-street parking for the expansion;
(4)Absence of adverse off-site impacts from such things as traffic, vision safety,
noise, dust, odors, and parking;
(5)The expansion is an improvement to the appearance and stability of the property
and neighborhood by ensuring the proposed expansion would meet all currently
existing zoning and building code requirements; and
(6)The expansion would be compatible with the character of the neighborhood as to
provide appropriate visual relief to the surrounding area.
(4)The Community Development Director or Planning Manager may impose reasonable
conditions related to health, safety. All other applicable permits will need to be
obtained by the applicant in addition to the Expansion Permit.
(5)Terms of Expansion Permit.
An expansion permit granted by the City will run with the land and will be perpetual
unless no building permit has been issued or substantial work performed within one
year of the approval, in which case the permit will be null or void. The planning staff
may extend the period for construction upon finding that the interest of the owners of
neighboring properties will not be adversely affected by such extension. If the
expansion permit is part of an approved site and building plan, extension of the time
period of construction will be contingent upon a similar extension of the time period
for the site and building plan by City staff. Once the project is completed as
approved, the expansion permit becomes perpetual.
(6)Recording.
A certified copy of the expansion permit must be filed by the City Staff with the
Anoka County Property Records Department. The expansion permit must contain a
legal description of the property affected.
Ordinance No. 1330 Page 19
(7)Violation of Non-Conforming Expansion Permit.
A person who violates, fails to comply with, or assists, directs, or permits the
violation of the terms or conditions of an expansion permit is guilty of a
misdemeanor. A violation of the expansion permit shall result in revocation of the
expansion permit. Revocation shall occur after a public hearing by the City Council
and in compliance with Minnesota Statutes Chapter 462. A violation also constitutes
a public nuisance that may be abated in accordance with the provisions of Chapter
128.
4. BUILDING SITE (Ref. 1010)
A. No lot shall be so reduced or diminished, nor shall any structure be so enlarged or moved,
as to reduce or diminish the yards, lot area or open space required in the district in which
it is located. No yard or other open space required for any building shall be considered as
providing a yard or open space for any other building, and no yard or open space on an
adjoining lot or parcel of property shall be considered as providing a yard or open space
on a lot where a building is to be erected.
B. Only one (1) principal building shall be located on a buildable R-1 lot.
C. Every lot, in order to be built on, shall have at least one (1) lot line which abuts for not
less than twenty-five (25) feet along a street or along a permanent, unobstructed easement
of access to the lot from a public street as approved by the City.
D. Where no curb elevation has been established, the City shall furnish such elevations. If
curb elevations are not available, the City shall approve the elevation of the building and
the drainage plan before a building permit is issued.
E. Sidewalks or provision for sidewalks will be required on all arterial and collector streets.
The City will furnish the elevation for a sidewalk shelf, which is to be put at grade at the

with an approximate finish grade for a sidewalk.
FE. Easements for pedestrian and bicycle paths ways shall be provided on those parcels lots
abutting streets designated for trails and/or sidewalks along trail corridors as noted in the
currently approved version of the City’s Active Transportation Bicycle Way Plan. The
City will designate the required width of easements and elevations for grades at the time
a building is constructed on the property. The bicycle way shelf will provide the owner
with an approximate finish grade for a bicycle way. Any landscaping or irrigation
systems installed in an easement must be removed and replaced at the property owner’s
expense when the trail or sidewalk is installed in the future.
GF. Where the front yard setback of existing buildings is greater than the minimum front
yard setback required and said existing buildings are within one hundred (100) feet on
either side of a structure to be erected, then the setback for the new structure can be six
Ordinance No. 1330 Page 20
(6) feet more or less of this mean depth of the adjacent structures but in no case shall it be
less than the required front yard setback. In the case where one of the adjacent properties
is vacant, the assumed setback will be the minimum front yard setback requirement of the
zoning district that applies to the property.
HG. In computing the depth of a rear yard setback for any building where the rear line of the
lot adjoins an alley, one half (1/2) of the width of the alley may be included as rear yard
depth, provided that the actual rear yard depth on the lot shall not be less than twenty (20)
feet in any residential district and not less than twenty-five (25) feet in any other district.

(a) existing and proposed grades with a minimum of two foot contour intervals to a
known sea level datum;
(b) sufficient spot elevations on all proposed hard surface areas;

(g) identification of soil conditions by type and location, including identification of
the water table, and suitability of the soil for the proposed development, and

storm with a 1 year return frequency. Detention facilities shall be designed for a 24
hour storm with a 100 year return frequency. All run-off shall be properly channeled
into a storm drain water course, ponding area or other public facility designed for that

uses. It is also deemed a purpose herein to provide standards which encourage uses of
land and the erection of buildings and structures in areas which are open, unplatted or
without any substantial number of buildings located therein, as are of a type, size, style
