Regular Agenda
Public Hearing(s)
24. Ordinance No. 1425, Public Hearing and First Reading to Consider a Rezoning, ZOA #24-01, by
Natasha Lawrence to Rezone the Property at 6677 Lucia Lane N.E. from R-1, Single Family, to R-3,
Multi-Family (Ward 2)
Motion made by Councilmember Evanson to open the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilmember Ostwald.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Lund declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Lund noted that there will be one presentation for the dual public hearing items related to this
case.
Stacy Stromberg, Planning Manager, stated that she would be presenting the rezoning and
Comprehensive Plan amendment requests at this time, although they will be separate actions. She
stated that the property owner is requesting a rezoning of the property from R-1 to R-3 to allow the
construction of a duplex. A Comprehensive Plan amendment is also needed to change the future
land use from single-family residential to multi-family residential. She reviewed the site description
and history along with an analysis of the rezoning and Comprehensive Plan amendment requests.
th
She stated that the Planning Commission reviewed the requests at its meeting on September 18,
providing a summary of that discussion and recommendation for approval of the rezoning and
Comprehensive Plan amendment. She asked that the Council hold the public hearing and consider
approval of the two actions requested tonight as presented.
Councilmember Evanson asked if R-2 would be the alternative if there were no issues with spot zoning.
Ms. Stromberg stated that there is an R-2 zoning but because there are no other R-2 properties in
7
Jufn!2/
City Council Meeting 10/14/2024 Minutes Page 4
this area, staff recommended R-3 zoning. She recognized concerns that something larger could be
constructed but noted that the petitioner has never eluded to anything other than a duplex. She
confirmed that only two units could be constructed under R-2.
Councilmember Ostwald referenced the statement that wetlands could not be impacted and asked
for more information on how that would be enforced. Ms. Stromberg stated that the Rice Creek
Watershed would be the authority for wetland activity. She stated that currently there are no wetland
impacts proposed and therefore if the plans changed, new approval would be needed. She stated
that in her time in Fridley, there has not been a wetland filled and every development has had to
develop around the wetland.
Mayor Lund asked for more information on the size of the wetlands, as credits can be purchased to
fill a wetland. He recognized that residents do not want to see R-3 zoning because of the potential
for a larger building to be constructed. He noted that another option would be to stay in R-1 zoning,
allow a lot split and two homes to be constructed instead of a duplex. He recognized that there were
already issues in the neighborhood because of the university. Ms. Stromberg replied that there are
criteria that need to be met in order to purchase credits. She stated that because Fridley has had little
development that has impacted wetlands over the last 25 years, she did not fear that would be the
case.
Mayor Lund stated that he would like to have something in writing from the property owner stating
that an apartment building would not be constructed, but recognized that the property could be sold
to another entity after the rezoning occurs.
Councilmember Evanson referenced the parcel to the south, 6663, which is not an owner-occupied
property and asked the status of that property. Ms. Stromberg stated that the property was
subdivided in 2018 to create three lots, and someone is living in that property to the south but was
unsure if it was a rental. He asked what would stop someone from purchasing that property as well
to make a larger property for development. Scott Hickok, Community Development Director,
commented that the fear is always bigger than the reality. He stated that a very large portion of the
developable land area is wetland and therefore it would be an expensive process to mitigate those
wetlands. He stated that there is also a high water table and therefore there is not a great likelihood
of putting parking under the building, and without sufficient parking, you could not put a large
building on the property. He stated that if the Comprehensive Plan stated that there was an intention
to place R-2 between R-1 and R-3, that would then be a tool the City could use but because the City
has not done that, it would result in spot zoning.
Mayor Lund recognized that it would be costly to change the land to support more development, but
it could be done. He stated that in order to change the zoning to R-3 he would need some assurance
beyond verbal commitments as plans can change.
Natasha Lawrence, applicant, stated that they are just trying to build a duplex and did not believe this
would be such a big issue as when they looked into the property Anoka County stated that one to
three units could be constructed. She stated that when they reached out to City staff, they were
informed that only a single-family home could be constructed.

Jufn!2/
City Council Meeting 10/14/2024 Minutes Page 5
Mr. Lawrence stated that when they were here previously, they were happy because they were going
to build a home on the lot, saving trees and protecting the wetlands.
Mrs. Lawrence stated that they were ready to move forward but the bank did not support that plan.
She stated that the builder then proposed a duplex which would allow them to get some of the
income back. She stated that the Rice Creek Watershed stated that only ten percent of the trees could
be removed from the property and they cannot build on wetlands, so that constrains what could be
built on the property.
Mr. Lawrence commented that they are homeowners and not developers. He recognized that in ten
years someone could purchase multiple properties, demolish everything and building something
larger. He stated that they have lived in the neighborhood since 2013, their daughter goes to the
Spanish immersion school down the road, and they look forward to staying in the community. He
stated that this has been a heartbreaking emotional rollercoaster, and they have worked with City
staff to try to find an option and follow the rules. He stated that they do not object to R-2, and they
would be willing to sign something saying they would only construct a duplex. He stated that they
are just people looking to build a home.
Mrs. Lawrence asked if the Council could just move forward with R-2 zoning. Mayor Lund explained
that spot zoning is not a City regulation but a State regulation. Sarah Sonsalla, City Attorney, stated
that if they were to go through R-2 they would need to redo the entire review process. She stated
that she would find R-2 to be consistent with the other uses of R-1 and R-3, but noted that there is
no R-2 adjacent. She stated that the applicants volunteered to sign something stating that they would
only build a duplex and noted that a restrictive covenant could be placed on the property stating that
only a duplex could be constructed.
Mrs. Lawrence stated that they would be happy to sign that statement.
Ms. Sonsalla stated that the City cannot impose that upon the property owners, but they have
voluntarily stated that they would sign something to that effect. She stated that it could then become
a condition in the resolution that the rezoning would not be effective until that declaration is made
on the property.
Councilmember Evanson asked how long that would stay with the property and whether that would
continue to be a condition if the property changed ownership. Ms. Sonsalla confirmed that the
declaration would remain on the property should be ownership change and only a duplex or single
residence could be constructed.
Mayor Lund clarified that if the property owner is willing and volunteering, they could sign the
declaration against the property to limit what could be built on the property.
Wally Wysopal, City Manager, asked Ms. Sonsalla to clarify that type of process. Ms. Sonsalla
explained that a condition would be added to the rezoning resolution stating that the applicants must
agree that a declaration be filed against the property, suitable to the City Attorney, to restrict the
development of the property to a single-family or duplex residence.

City Council Meeting 10/14/2024 Minutes Page 6
Mayor Lund invited the public to address the Council.
Tom Makozak commented that the R-3 properties in this area already do not appear to be properly
zoned and did not believe that additional R-3 zoning is wanted. Mayor Lund clarified that this area
could have all been zoned R-3 at one time and was then broken up. Mr. Makozak commented that
the residents on Lucia Lane have concerns with the increased traffic of the university for the past
decade and with the completion of the cul-de-sac they finally are seeing less traffic. He stated that if
the property were rezoned R-3 that could be a 40-unit apartment building which would only bring
that traffic problem back. Mayor Lund noted the wetlands and constraints of the site which would
not allow a large apartment building to be constructed. Mr. Makozak stated that if the declaration is
not placed on the property, the concern would be that the ultimate use could change, and an
apartment could be constructed. Mayor Lund noted that the property owner has stated that they are
willing to sign the declaration. Mr. Makozak commented that he would be fine with the duplex as
long as the declaration is signed that would restrict anything larger from being built.
Fay Makozak stated that she was at the Planning Commission meeting when the Lawrences stated
that they would not be living in the home and would be renting it out. She stated that the address
on the application for the Lawrences is in Lakeville. She stated that the property to the south
mentioned earlier is a leased property and therefore could be purchased to add to the size of the
development.
Adam Betker, 6600 Lucia Lane, thanked the Mayor and Council for the new road and cul-de-sac as
that has vastly improved traffic. He stated that he came into the meeting objecting to the request
because he believed a larger apartment could be built. He stated that if the declaration were put on
the property he would not object to the duplex and would welcome another family into the
neighborhood.
Pam Reynolds, 1241 Norton, referenced the properties to the north which are listed as R-3 but used
as R-1, therefore this property would not be adjacent to R-3. She stated that the larger zoning map
shows the predominant zoning of the area to be R-1 and therefore the existing apartment building
does not support a change to R-3. She referenced the statement that underground parking would
not be supported on the property but recalled apartments that built at grade parking and bermed it
to appear as underground parking. Mr. Hickok stated that R-3 zoning allows construction of R-1, R-
2 or R-3, therefore people can build a single-family home on R-3 but that does not change the
underlying zoning. He stated that roadways are often the distinction between different zoning
districts and therefore adjacent means properties that touch.
Sarah Schriner voiced strong opposition to the zoning change. She stated that for the past eight
years, the residents of Lucia Lane have worked with the City to increase the quality of life in their
neighborhood, which was achieved by construction of the cul-de-sac. She stated that changing the
zoning to R-3 would open the door for a 40-unit apartment building which would compromise the
safety and well-being of the residents. She asked the Council to listen to the concerns of the residents.
John Vartis, Lucia Lane, stated that the City has done a great thing with the cul-de-sac and did not
want to see a new problem created, allowing a larger development in the future. He stated that if
:
Jufn!2/
City Council Meeting 10/14/2024 Minutes Page 7
there could be a condition that only a duplex could be built, that would be a welcome addition to the
neighborhood.
Dan Christianson, 6640 Lucia Lane, stated that he also had strong concerns about this and thanked
the City for the cul-de-sac and paving this year. He stated that his biggest concern was that the plan
is approved for a duplex, and something changes in the future allowing something bigger to be built.
He stated that if the declaration is binding and cannot be changed, he would then support a duplex.
Mayor Lund stated that this Council has listened to the people and is happy to hear that a number of
the neighbors who live on the street seem to be okay with the duplex, with the additional assurance
of the declaration. He stated that the Council had the same concern, and it appears that the
declaration would work to provide that assurance.
Councilmember Evanson stated that he represents this ward and is well aware of the traffic concerns
of Lucia Lane. He asked for additional input from the City Attorney related to the declaration that
would limit construction to a duplex, as most residents who spoke stated that they could support a
duplex under those conditions. Ms. Sonsalla stated that this is the first reading of the ordinance and
therefore would come back to the Council for the second reading and adoption. She provided the
specific condition that she would add related to the declaration.
Mayor Lund reiterated that this is the first reading and if there are additional tweaks necessary, that
could be done prior to the second reading. He noted that the language proposed tonight will be a
part of the second reading and included in the Council packet.
Motion made by Councilmember Evanson to close the public hearing, Seconded by Councilmember
Bolkcom.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Lund declared the motion carried unanimously.
25. Public Hearing and Resolution No. 2024-135, Adopting the Assessment for 2024 Street
Rehabilitation Project No. ST-2024-01
Motion made by Councilmember Bolkcom to open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember
Tillberry.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Lund declared the motion carried unanimously.
Joe Starks, Finance Director, provided background information on special assessments and the related
process that the City has followed. He summarized the street project that was completed, elements
of the project that are not included in the assessment, and remaining project elements. He reviewed
details of the proposed assessment roll, payment options and repayment schedule, and deferment
opportunity. He asked the Council to hold the public hearing and accept any input from residents
and then consider adoption of the resolution as presented.
Mayor Lund invited residents to provide input.

Pam Reynolds, 1241 Norton, provided written correspondence to Mayor Lund that she then read
aloud. She did not understand how her property could be assessed in the amount of $3,350 and
objected to the assessment amount and calculation process in general. She noted different
assessment rates for the properties along Norton and in other project areas.
Motion made by Councilmember Tillberry to accept the written correspondence from Ms. Reynolds
into the record, Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Lund declared the motion carried unanimously.
Brandon Brodhag, Assistant City Engineer, stated that there are two different types of housing and
assessment formulas. He stated that NLDR is based off front footage and LDR is based on single-
family homes, noting that frontage and driveways are not factored in for LDR. He explained that LDR
then splits the total assessment by the number of units within that project area. Mayor Lund stated
that residential areas pay equal shares as everyone is using the street equally.
Ms. Reynolds commented that a residential property with double the frontage of her property would
receive twice the benefit that she would and therefore should have a higher assessment. Mayor Lund
stated that different formulas are used for different types of projects and single-family assessment is
not based on frontage. He stated that single-family residential properties equally share the
assessment because each person uses the road and benefits from it the same. Ms. Sonsalla provided
additional information on the assessment amount and related benefit to the property. She stated
that it is presumed that there is a benefit, and it is up to those contesting the assessment to bring
forth evidence about how the benefit to the property does not equate to the assessment amount.
Mayor Lund referenced the assessment policy of the City, to assess a certain portion of the street
projects to adjacent property owners. He asked why different rates are assigned to duplexes and
townhomes. Mr. Brodhag stated that the City has followed this process since its adoption in 2006.
He stated that he is unsure why there was a distinction between a single-family home and duplex. He
explained how the single-family, duplex and townhome, and apartment rates were calculated for the
project. He offered to email the policy language related to the formula to Ms. Reynolds.
th
Sarah Kuntz, 1225 65 Avenue, submitted her objection to the assessment. She stated that the City
tore up her road because there were errors made by the engineer when the project was last
completed. She stated that she asked for something other than grass or sod in the corner to assist
with drainage concerns and seed was laid. She did not believe that grass would hold up in that
easement because of the drainage issues. She stated that her neighbor actually benefits from the
project, as their driveway was flooding, and is not included in the assessment. Mr. Brodhag stated
that the neighbor was assessed with the 2008 street project, whereas Ms. Kuntz was not assessed as
part of that project and was assessed with this project. He described the elements that were added
to address the issues with drainage. He stated that they can look at plantings in the future but for
the time being the intention was just to create ground cover.
Motion made by Councilmember Tillberry to enter into the record the written correspondence from
Ms. Kuntz, Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.

Mr. Vartis asked if this covenant would prevent this property from becoming a parking lot. Ms.
Sonsalla did not believe a lot could be used as a standalone parking lot. Councilmember Evanson
stated that it is his understanding that this would restrict the use to a single-family home or duplex.
Mr. Hickok commented that the covenant would restrict that activity. He stated that without the
declaration the property could be purchased by the university and used as a parking lot.

be additional costs anticipated. Mr. Brodhag replied that the projects are close to completion, with
fencing being completed within the next week and then punch list items. He did not anticipate any
additional change orders coming forward.

Park Commission 9/3/2024 Minutes Page 2
Mike Maher, Parks and Recreation Director, stated that there are two parks proposed for
construction in 2025, which would be in addition to the Commons Park project. He reviewed the
engagement that was completed for both Jubilee and Oak Hill parks. He noted the proximity of
the parks to each other and noted that because they are both smaller parks, they could be
complimentary to one another. He presented two concepts for each park, noting that in one
concept the parks would contain equipment for all ages while in the other concept one park
would have equipment for younger children and the other park would have equipment for older
children.
Commissioner Whalen referenced pole features shown in concept two for Jubilee and believed
that children would be tempted to climb those which could be a liability risk. Mr. Maher
commented that line of equipment is widely used, and he was not familiar with any injuries that
have occurred, although acknowledged that it could seem tempting to climb.
Commissioner Shultz asked if there was feedback from the community about focusing each park
for different age groups, recognizing that some families have both younger and older children.
Mr. Maher commented that in concept two, Oak Hill would be designed for ages 2-7 while Jubilee
would be designed for ages five to 12. He recognized that a family with a 12-year-old and two-
year-old may not have full options for play at either park.
Chair Borman stated that during the public engagement, it seemed there was a large desire for
swings at Oak Hill, while swings were not desired for Jubilee. He stated that it seemed the public
input supported older children play opportunities at Jubilee while Oak Hill desired things geared
more at younger children.
Commissioner Graham commented that she likes the shade provided in option one and asked if
there are trees onsite. Mr. Maher commented that both locations have shade trees.
Commissioner Shultz asked if there was a request for basketball. Mr. Maher commented that it
was included in the concept and there were no requests to remove it. He commented that the
focus for tonight is solely on the playground equipment, as the basketball feature will remain.
The Commission discussed the different concepts noting that option one is more traditional
whereas option two is more modern. It was noted that it is important to have variety within the
park system and even though the equipment may be geared for certain ages, kids will still find a
way to play.
Motion by Commissioner Schultz to recommend option 2 for Jubilee Park and Oak Hill Park.
Seconded by Commissioner Whalen. The motion passed unanimously.

Commissioner Shultz commented that his wife recently held an event at the Moore Lake Community
Building, and it was a great experience. He stated that the overall park use was also great to see,
noting a slight challenge with parking as both lots were full, and people were parked on Central as
well. He stated that it was great to see the increased use in the park.
Staff Reports
2.!Springbrook Nature Center Report
Mr. Maher commented that it was a great summer with the day camp programs and provided a
summary of the written report. He advised of the upcoming Pumpkin Night in the Park event
th
scheduled for October 19.
Commissioner Shultz asked if the day camp revenue generates a profit. Mr. Maher explained that
Springbrook Nature Center operates under its own enterprise fund and there is a special tax levy
dedicated to Springbrook. He explained that program revenue fills in the funding gap between
what is generated by the levy and what is needed for operations.
3.!Fridley Parks and Recreation Division Report
Mr. Maher provided a brief review of the information provided in the report, highlighting
recreational programing and recent events.
4.!Park Maintenance and Construction Report

Nancy Abts, Associate Planner, presented a request for a variance to reduce the side yard setback to
th
allow the expansion of an existing home at 257 69 Avenue. She provided a site description and
history of the property. She then reviewed the code and statutory requirements that the Commission
should consider relating to this variance request. She noted that the current neighbor does not
object to this variance, but explained that the variance would run with the land and impact future
property owners as well. She stated that staff recommends denial of the variance as the request does
not satisfy the uniqueness requirement and there are reasonable alternatives.
Commissioner Borman stated that he met with the petitioner and the alternative noted by staff would
add additional cost to the project. He believed that would be undue cost for the modest addition.
Commissioner Nealy asked how they got from ten to seven.
Ms. Abts replied that City staff was not here in 1962 but perhaps the survey corners were not marked
appropriately or the foundation was laid a bit off.
Commissioner Brom referenced the option to change standards citywide and what that process
would entail.
Ms. Abts replied that as the Commission know the City is in the process of updating the zoning code.
She stated that the zoning code helps to address environmental quality and water runoff. She stated
that in Fridley they have addressed that by requiring generous yards in lieu of large stormwater
ponds.
Commissioner Brom asked if the variance were granted, whether that would mean future requests
similar in nature would also have to be approved.
Ms. Abts replied that there is a risk of setting a precedent.
Commissioner Klemz noted that this is not straight along the lot line. He asked if the line were to
run straight, parallel to the lot line at 7.1 feet, whether that would still require a variance.
Ms. Abts confirmed that a variance would still be required.
Commissioner Meisner asked where variable cost is considered, and if the alternative is more
expensive, would that support a case for a variance.
Ms. Abts replied that economic considerations can be part of the consideration but cannot be the
only reason to grant a variance.

Commissioner Meisner stated that one of the reasons this Commission exists is to evaluate exceptions
to the rules. He stated that there are a number of factors that place this property in the grey area,
primarily because it is already nonconforming, and this would only be a 3.5-inch difference from the
variance that already exists. He stated that he was not concerned with precedent in this case as there
are reasonable considerations to the request. He noted that the neighboring property is the garage
side. He referenced the comment that there are reasonable alternatives and asked how
reasonableness is assessed.
Ms. Abts replied that the applicant and neighbor are present and perhaps can provide input. She
stated that she would be curious of the magnitude of the increased cost of building within the
allowed area rather than the setback.
Stacy Stromberg, Planning Manager, stated that for staff, if there is a reasonable alternative and there
is not a practical difficulty, there is not a way for staff to recommend approval.
Chair Hansen invited the applicant to address the Commission.
Jason Zemke, applicant, stated that the report does not include their proposed floor plan and
believed that if the Commission could see their modest layout for the addition, they would feel it is
appropriate for a home that was built out of compliance 60 years ago. He stated that this out of
compliance home, built askew from the property line, has caused no issues to the neighborhood for
the last 60 years. He stated that the addition would be seamless to the property and would not
appear out of character.
Commissioner Meisner stated that the Commission has a certificate from the company which shows
the proposed addition. Mr. Zemke confirmed that is accurate but noted that the floorplan for that
space is a bedroom and attached bathroom.
Commissioner Borman asked if the applicant has an estimated cost for the proposal by City staff,
compared to this proposed addition. Mr. Zemke replied that the cost would be about double based
on the amount of square footage shown in the staff alternative. He stated that the current estimate
is about $100,000 for the addition. Commissioner Borman commented that the staff alternative
would involve extensive changes to the roofline as well, which would easily double the cost.
th
Edward Murzyn, the neighbor at 249 69 Avenue stated that he has no objection to the addition and
loves to see the applicants improving their property. He stated that the applicants are active in the
neighborhood, take care of their yard, and he would love to see them be able to improve their home.
Commissioner Klemz referenced the uniqueness criteria and asked if property is described in that
statute, as staff seemed to describe the lot itself and not the home. Ms. Abts replied that she is
41
Jufn!7/
Planning Commission Minutes Page 4
10/16/2024
unsure how that is defined in statute but could look into that. Ms. Stromberg stated that the practice
of staff is to apply that to the physical land, not the home.
Motion by Commissioner Meisner to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Nealy.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chair Hansen declared the motion carried unanimously and the public
hearing was closed at 7:24 p.m.
Commissioner Nealy stated that this is a building that is already out of compliance due to no fault of
the current owners and no matter what someone does on this property there will already be a seven-
foot setback instead of ten. He did not believe that extending that by the length of the addition
would cause harm. He did not believe that an additional 3.5 inches for a reduced setback would
make a difference and did not believe anyone would even notice. He stated that he would support
the variance request.
Commissioner Meisner stated that there are guidelines to maintain the character of the
neighborhoods and community. He stated that there are also a variety of tools that allow an
exception. He stated that in this situation there is not a preexisting reason that would allow staff to
recommend approval of the variance but also believed that is one of the reasons the Planning
Commission exists, to understand the regulations of the City, needs of the residents, and perhaps
provide recommendations that generally make sense. He stated that the extension of the line of the
home by the length of the addition, even though it would encroach an additional 3.5 inches into the
setback, is a reasonable request. He stated that even though there is not a typical reason to approve
the variance, he is amenable to the request.
Commissioner Klemz stated that the alternative to approving the variance would be changing the
code, which would set city-wide precedent whereas approval of this request would not set the same
precedent. He agreed with the reasonableness of this concern and noted that the neighboring
property owner also agrees.
Commissioner Borman stated that he agrees with Commissioners Nealy and Meisner and believed
that the variance would be proper tool for this situation. He noted that this is extending the current
line of the home by eight feet. He commented that this is a very reasonable request.
Commissioner Brom stated that he agrees with everyone and commended staff for their
recommendation as they did not believe that this request met the statutory requirements. He stated
that this is one of those circumstances where they (the Commission) need to understand the needs
of the residents and he did not believe that approving this request would be a detriment to anyone.
Chair Hansen stated that he walked into the meeting with a different mindset, and he tends to think
that variances should only be granted under certain circumstances to avoid setting precedent. He
42
Jufn!7/
Planning Commission Minutes Page 5
10/16/2024
stated that this home was built askew to the property line and therefore is already nonconforming
and this does appear to be a reasonable addition. He stated that if this were done under a building
permit, no one else would probably even notice other than the neighbor, who agrees to the request.
He noted that typically there is a drainage/utility easement in the side yard but that does not exist in
this location. He believed that this approval is unlikely to trigger a series of similar applications. He
stated that if the property were not already nonconforming, he would not support the request but
because of the conditions that exist in this case, he can support the request.
Commissioner Meisner stated that because of the magnitude of the sum of the variables he can
support this request, but if it were just one of the factors without the others, he would find it difficult
to approve.
Motion by Commissioner Meisner to recommend approval of the variance as requested. Seconded by
Commissioner Borman.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chair Hansen declared the motion carried unanimously.
Chair Hansen noted that this will move forward for review by the City Council on November 12,
2024.

AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date:October 28, 2024 Meeting Type:City Council
Submitted By:Scott Hickok, Community Development Director
Stacy Stromberg, Planning Manager
Title
Ordinance No. 1425, Second Reading to Consider a Rezoning, ZOA #24-01, by Natasha Lawrence to
Rezone the Property at 6677 Lucia Lane N.E. from R-1, Single-Family to R-3, Multi-Family (Ward 2)
Background
Natasha Lawrence, who is the property owner of the vacant parcel at 6677 Lucia Lane N.E., is requesting
to have the property rezoned from R-1, Single Family to R-3, Multi-Family. To approve a rezoning there
must be similarly zoned land adjacent to the property. The apartment building property to the west is
zoned R-3, Multi-Family as are the properties to the north; therefore, this request to rezone is consistent
with the zoning on neighboring properties. The plans submitted with this rezoning application are to
construct a duplex on the south end of the property. However, once the property is rezoned to R-3,
Multi-Family, a larger building could be constructed based on the large lot size. Any new building
constructed on the property will need to comply with all code requirements, related to setbacks, parking,
landscape and stormwater treatmentand wetland protections. A wetland delineation was completed in
2021, and the submitted map (below) shows the location of existing wetlands on the property. The
locations of the wetlands limit the buildable area of the lot.
A Notice of Public Hearing before the Planning Commission andFridleyCity Council(Council)was
published in the September 6, 2024, and September 20, 2024 editionsof the Citys(City)
Official Publication.
The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing for ZOA#24-01 at their meeting on September 18, 2024
and recommended approval. The motion carried unanimously.
The Council held a Public Hearing and approved the first reading of the Rezoning Ordinance No. 1425
at their October 14, 2024 meeting, with a modification to the ordinance which requires the filing of a
declaration of restrictive covenants from the property owners that will restrict the use of the property to
a duplex. The declaration has been prepared by the City Attorney and has been sent to the petitioner
for signature. Once signed, the City will file it withthe property records at Anoka County. As stated
th
during the Council meeting on October 14, the declaration will stay filed on the property and apply to
any future owners.
