REZONING REQUEST
Michael Schifsky, who is representing Ashland Inc., is requesting to rezone the property at 7315 Hwy 65
from M-1, Light Industrial to C-2, General Business to allow the redevelopment of this site with a retail
user.
Staff determined that in order to avoid spot zoning and create a contiguous commercial zoning district
in this area the properties to the south should also be rezoned. These properties are 7299 Hwy 65,
which is currently a Super America gas station and the vacant parcel to the south of Super America,
which is addressed 7201 Hwy 65. These two parcels should also be rezoned from M-1, Light Industrial to
C-2, General Business. The gas station use most closely fits in a commercial zoning district. The City has
notified the owners of the Super America,who are also the owners of the vacant lot south, that their
properties are involved in this rezoning process.
VACATION REQUEST
The petitioner is also seeking to vacate a portion of 73 Y2 Avenue,just north of 7315 Hwy 65 to provide
additional land area for the redevelopment of the subject property.
SITE DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY
The property at 7315 Hwy 65 is zoned M-1,
Light Industrial and is located in the m
northeast corner of Hwy 65 and 73`d
Avenue. In 1987 a special use permit was = w
issued to allow an automobile service
station and as a result,the site was
developed in 1987 with the construction of °• '°"
the existing 1,261 sq.ft. building, which at 5`
that time was a Rapid Oil Change. In order 'jRa-pNF R -
for the building to be constructed several
variances needed to be granted. A variance
was granted to reduce the minimum
allowable lot area from .75 aces to .54
r,
acres, a variance was granted to reduce the
side yard setback on the street side of a F
corner lot from 35 ft.to 19 ft. on the east
and from 35 ft.to 28 ft.on the west, and r
from 35 ft.to 21 ft. on the north. Variances U31`
were also granted to reduce the distance
that the edge of the curb opening may be
from a street right-of-way intersection from
75 ft. to 26 ft. on the north and from 75 ft.
to 55 ft. on the southeast, and to reduce
the parking and hard surface setback from a street right-of-way from 20 ft.to 12 ft. on the east and from
20 ft. to 10 ft. on the west. There was also a restrictive covenants placed on the property that restricted
development on this site to that of a quick oil change and lubrication service facility("Use"). Any future
re-use of the structure for uses other than that comparable to said "Use" will be subject to City Council
approval. Considering this lot has street frontage on all four sides, it wasn't easy to fit this smaller user
on such an undersized industrial lot without several of variances being granted.
The Super America property at 7299 Hwy 65 is also zoned M-1, Light Industrial and is located in the
southeast corner of 73d Avenue and Hwy 65. When the service station was constructed in 1983, several
land use requests were also approved by the City Council. A lot split was granted to subdivide one large
lot and create two small lots, which are now, 7201 and 7299 Hwy 65,which in turn allowed for the
construction of the Service Road. A special use permit was also approved to allow the construction of
the motor vehicle fuel service station and two variances were approved to reduce the lot size
requirements and the parking lot setback requirement from an abutting right-of-way.
The vacant lot at 7201 Hwy 65 has never been developed.
REZONING ANALYSIS
The petitioner is seeking to rezone their property at ' 12 AVE '
7315 Hwy 65 NE from M-1, Light Industrial to C-2,
General Business. Since the property went on thetl r nrs :
market in 2007, there has been interest from several 73RD AVE
retail type users, however because of the current
industrial zoning; none of inquiries chose to purchase
the site. Over the years, City staff has had several
discussions with the property owner about a - �;:, IR
potential rezoning of the subject property, the Super '
America property and vacant lot at 7201 Hwy 65. Due
to the small lot size of the subject properties, they
high visibility, and the ready access to the properties,
the petitioner feels that a commercial zoning is the ,!
best fit for the subject properties. rn
There are several of these turn-back type parcels .
within the City,which are those lots along major + z`
corridors; that have roadway all around them. All of
rn �
the other turn-back parcels within the City are zoned
some type of commercial with the exception of the
YP p
subject property, and the Super America property. �` ��
The small lot sizes of these parcels tend to require a commercial zoning and there tends to be more
interest from commercial uses to be located along major city corridors. Therefore, a rezoning of these
properties is consistent with the trends already seen along the major corridors of Hwy 65 and University
Avenue within Fridley.
In 2004,the properties at 7101 and 7151 Hwy 65 were rezoned from M-1, Light Industrial to C-2,
General Business to allow the current uses within the buildings to conform to code requirements. Most
of the uses with the buildings at those two properties are either of a retail or office nature; as a result, it
made better sense for them to be zoned commercial rather than industrial.
In 1992,the City Council approved a rezoning from industrial to commercial that was request by Ed
Stanke,for his property, which is located at 7091 Hwy 65. At that time, he requested a rezoning to
better match the existing uses in his building, which were an insurance and marketing office and a diet
center.
In 1989, the City Council approved a rezoning for 7191 Hwy 65 from M-1, Light Industrial and R-3,
General Multiple Units, to C-2, General Business. Currently,this is where Chopper City Sports is located.
Over the last 21 years, the City has seen a progression of rezonings along this corridor from Industrial to
Commercial, mainly related to the types of users that tend to occupy space along Hwy 65. The proposed
rezoning is an extension of that trend.Therefore, rezoning these properties would be consistent with
the neighboring properties.The small lot size of the subject properties also tends to necessitate a
commercial zoning. The M-1 zoning requires a minimum lot size of 1.5 acres for new plats, while the C-2
zoning requires a minimum of 20,000 sq.ft. None of the subject properties meet the current M-1 lot
size minimum, however they will meet the minimum lot size for a commercial zoning.
The City's zoning ordinance and official zoning map are the mechanisms that help the City achieve the
vision laid out in the Comprehensive Plan. The law gives the City the authority to "rezone" property
from one designated use to another,so long as the zoning is in conformance with the Comprehensive
Plan. The Comprehensive Plan's 2030 future land use map designates this area as"Redevelopment."
This will allow for the potential redevelopment of the Valvoline property and will also allow for the
development of the vacant parcel at 7201 Hwy 65 with a retail/office user.
VARIANCE HISTORY AND REVIEW
As noted above, when the property at 7315 Hwy 65 was developed several variances were granted to
meet setback requirements. It would be beneficial for those variances with the exception of the lot size
variance to be transferred and applied to the new C-2 zoning designation. Though the City code allows a
much smaller lot size in our commercial zoning districts,the setback distance requirements remain
essentially the same. The only setback variance that may be eliminated is a north side yard setback
requirement, as a result the vacation request. If that vacation is approved, that variance will no longer
been needed. Staff would recommend that the Planning Commission note this motion for the variances
if the rezoning is approved.
Super America currently has a Special Use Permit to allow a motor vehicle service station,which is
required in the M-1 zoning district, as well as the C-2 zoning district. It would be beneficial to include, as
part of this rezoning request, the transfer of the SUP on this property from the M-1 zoning to the C-2
zoning, to keep this property in conformance. Staff would recommend that again,the Planning
Commission note this in the motion, if the rezoning is approved. This property also received variances
to allow for the construction of the gas station. The variance for lot size will be eliminated; however the
variance for parking setback will need to apply to the C-2 zoning and should be noted.
VACATION ANALYSIS 'tea"rV°""c
The petitioner is also seeking to vacate a portion of 73 Y2
Avenue north of the Valvoline site at 7315 Hwy 65. When
the site was originally developed in 1987,there were several
discussions about vacating 73 %Avenue to provide additional
a
land area for the Valvoline site, which could be used to
rearrange the driveway into the lot and for screening
purposes. At that time there were also discussions about
extending the Service Road north to connect it with the
portion of the Service Road by Fireside Drive. The vacation of
73%Avenue did not occur because the extension of the
Service Road north of 73 Y2 Avenue would have required a
roadway easement from the mobile home park on Onondaga ;
Street and the owners at the time weren't willing to grant the
easements. As a result, staff did not proceed with the
vacation of 73 %Avenue. It was stipulated in the 1987
variance,though,that at which time 73 %Avenue was
vacated the petitioner(Rapid Oil Change)would be required to landscape and irrigate the area.
The potential buyer for the subject property is a specialty clothing supplier,whose focus is primarily in
industrial grade work,western, biker, and law enforcement footwear and apparel. As part of their
business, they have two trucks that are used as class and product showrooms. The vehicles travel to
u regional work places to serve as a
showroom for potential clients. When
\ d! v4 _ not on a job site, the trucks will be
\ ; f>wxY :lYy parked on the subject property. While
on site,they will be backed up to the
north side of the building and will be
accessible from within the store to
' 4 ; , N. E. s• serve as further showroom space and
to store goods. Vacating 73 %Avenue
° Mr north of the property will provide the
I potential user the additional space
needed to park the trucks as well as
�,, ,
provide the visual screening required
Z
•' y s by City code from the public right-of-
,, way.
In order to determine if vacating this
portion of 73%2 Avenue would be an
l• T I w acceptable solution for the City to
;tuj= consider, staff contacted all the
properties owners who own land
\ ;
along 73%:Avenue between Hwy 65
{ € E and Central Avenue and our
Engineering Department conducted
traffic counts over a period of three
' y; - days.
..-
_ We have heard from four of the seven
properties owners. Three of them
73RD AVENUE NORTHEi stated that they didn't have a problem
with the vacation and expected that
the Minnesota Department of Transportation would at some point in the future further restrict this
access anyway. Mr. Schrader, the owner of the property at 1155 73%Avenue, which is Carefree Self
Storage, called to state that they would be opposed to the vacation. He also submitted a letter, which is
attached for your review. The main reason he is opposed is because he feels it limits their access and
visibility from Hwy 65 NE. They also wanted to make sure that the Service Road from 73rd Avenue to 73
%2 Avenue was a perpetual easement for right-of-way, so it couldn't be vacated. The Service Road is a
perpetual easement for right-of-way purposes, so it won't be vacated.
It is very typical that right-of-way counts are done over a three day period. The overall counts for the
three day time period going westbound (turning right on Hwy 65)on 73%Avenue is 291 vehicles. The
counts going eastbound on 73 %2 Avenue are 129 vehicles. We also did counts on the Service Road, east
of the Valvoline property and those numbers were 214 vehicles going southbound and 178 vehicles
going northbound.
These traffic counts for a three-day time period appear very low for an industrial street. Planning staff is
awaiting comments from the Engineering staff on the counts. Staff will share that analysis during the
pubic hearing.
Vacating the street will provide the business at 7315 Hwy 65 the additional land area needed for future
redevelopment. It will also provide a nice landscaped buffer between Hwy 65 and the
commercial/industrial businesses to the east.
It is inevitable that the Minnesota Department of Transportation will eventually limit this access to Hwy
65 and as a result,the City is trying to be proactive by considering the elimination of this access now,
when there is an opportunity to redevelop the property at 7315 Hwy 65.
Continuing the Service Road north to connect to the Service Drive near Fireside Drive may be something
that the City may look into in the future if the need presents itself, but isn't part of the proposed
request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION

8593573331 ASHLAND OIL 11:07:03 a.m. 09-16-2010 2 12
Ashland Inc. owns and operated a Valvoline instant Oil Change (VIOL 01-
37) facility at 7315 NE Highway 65 in Fridley MN. It was part of a series of
stores acquired in 1985. Over time, industry changes driven by consumer
expectations modified the site criteria for successful stores. VIOC 01-37
failed that criteria, performed poorly, and was closed in March of 2007.
The building and land have been listed for sale with recognizable regional
brokers since closing in `07. As it has exposure to Highway to 65 and is in
the NE corner of a lighted intersection, several parties of a retail nature have
expressed interest. Current zoning does not support retail. The site is
currently M-1, light industrial. Requirements for a user in that category
typically include large tracts of land. The small size,high visibility, and
ready access to this property dictate its need to rezoned.
Prospective buyers have been discouraged from the task of attempting
rezoning, particularly in light of the need for Marathon to join in.the effort.
As owner, Ashland Inc. has agreed to support the rezoning effort both
financially administratively. An able buyer of acceptable use is willing to
adjust closing to allow for the procedure.
Ashland Inc., the City of Fridley, the buyer, and, with the exception of
Marathon, all parties are in place to justify and benefit from the rezoning.
I
The buyer being considered for the former Valvoline Instant Oil Change location at 7315 Highway 65 NE
in Fridley,MN is a specialty clothing supplier.The means with which they gain visibility to the market
includes building signage and general marketing.
As part of their marketing,trucks are used as class and product showrooms. Those vehicles travel to
regional work places and can be accessed by clients.Those trucks will be based on site referenced above.
While there,they will be accessible and also used to store goods.
The land north of the site known as 73 '/s will be needed to accommodate them physically.In addition,in
an effort to minimize their visible presence,it will be used to screen them from passing traffic.Vacating the
portion of 73 %z immediately adjacent will facilitate the buyers needs and provide screening the City of
Fridley requires.

FERGUS FALLS, MN Ms.Stromberg:
ROCKY CREEK
ROCHESTER, MN
MISTY GLEN Thank you for the informative conversation on Wednesday October 6. 1 was calling in
SOUIX FALLS,SD response to your notice of an application by Valvoline to vacate portions of 73 %Ave. We
RUSH MEADOWS own the Carefree Self-Storage facility that is adjacent the City pump house and kitty corner
RUSH CITY, MN from the proposed redevelopment site. We are opposed to the petition and have the
MANUFACTURED HOME SALES following concerns:
HART CUSTOM HOMES,INC.
BLAINE, MN
CRYSTAL, N 1) The vacation of the Hwy 65 access removes an existing easy right in—right out
ST. FRANCIS,MN that is used by many of our customers.
KASSON,MN '
RUSH CITY,MN 2) This vacation is not at the request of MNDOT but rather the petitioner to allow
ROCHESTER, MN for a larger retail site. Their gain is at the cost of access to our facility. Not only is
BRAINERD, M this a vacation, but a rezoning request. I would think that in todays struggling
SIOUX FALLS, SD retail market there are plenty of existing retail locations that accommodate their
REAL ESTATE DIVISION MEMBER MLS requirement in a facility that was built and designed for retail with the appropriate
CRYSTAL, MN parking and building size.
BLAINE,MN
SELF-STORAGE 3) Additional building size and road vacation limits prospective customer sight
CAREFREE SELF-STORAGE lines to our facility which is a significant portion of new customer traffic.
BLAINE, MN
FRIDLEY,MN 4) It is our fear that the existing service drive that was granted by easement to the
HUDSON,WI City on the east side of the property will be affected. Any limitation of the service
MID-AMERICA SKIRTING&SUPPLY drive would limit our accessibility to routing around Old Central Ave.
BLAINE, MN
THE SCHRADER BUILDING 5) During development of our site, we requested vacation of the service drive
CRYSTAL, ER adjacent Hwy 65 to move our property closer to the frontage and enhance our
TRAPP ROAD BUILDING configuration. It was denied and an unmaintained remnant sits in its place. It
EAGAN, MN appears that the City is inconsistent on its support of road vacation for private
party benefit.
SCHRADER FARMS

SCHRADER VENTURE CORP.
CRYSTAL, MN www.hartcustomhomesinc.com
6) What was the long range plan for this site when the zoning district was
created? The proposed spot zoning from light industrial to retail is not
appropriate. It is understandable that the parking requirements in the existing
zone do not accommodate the use change. It is an inequity to reduce the viability
of other properties that fit the intended zone to accommodate a new use that is
not congruent with the existing zone. In most cases a light industrial user would
be in favor of the creation of retail in a light industrial zone as it can create
business traffic. But this application actually limits access and is not an
enhancement to our business prospects.
If indeed the City supports the closure of the access to 65 at 73 %2 it should be a
requirement of any development agreement that the service drive frontage on the
east side of the subject site permanently remain.
Thank you for your consideration. Please keep us posted on the project and call
with any questions.
Thanks

Dear Ms. Gregory:
Per Minnesota Statute 15.99, local government units are required to notify land use applicants
within 15 working days if their land use applications are complete. We officially received your
applications for a rezoning and vacation on September 20, 2010. This letter serves to inform
you that your applications are complete.
Your Rezoning and Vacation application hearing and discussion will take place at the City of
Fridley Planning Commission Meeting on October 20, 2010 at 7:00 P.M. in the City Council
Chambers at 6431 University Avenue in Fridley. The City of Fridley City Council is scheduled to
take final action on your vacation on November 11, 2010 at 7:30 in the City Council Chambers.
The City Council will hold three meetings related to your rezoning request.
• Public Hearing — November 8, 2010
• First Reading — November 15, 2010
• Second Reading — December 6, 2010
Please plan to be in attendance at all of the above referenced meetings.
It is likely that the City may need to extend the 60 day agency action law in order to act upon
your vacation request. Additional time may be required to do traffic counts on the right-of-way
to be vacated, solicit input from neighboring property owners, and receive comments from utility
companies that have utilities placed in 73 '/Z Avenue. If that is the case the City will notify you
of a new meeting schedule for the vacation only.
If you have any questions regarding this letter or the process, please feel free to contact me at
763-572-3595.
