UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 1. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT. S.P. 99-07. BY MICHAEL McPHILLIPS: To allow a 10-foot curb cut to access an accessory building on his property. This request will require reconsideration of SP#86-09, which prohibited a curb cut for this purpose, legally described as Lot 19, Block 2, Sylvan Hills Plat 4, generally located at 291 Sylvan Lane. MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. � UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:32 P.M. Mr. Bolin stated the petitioner is requesting a special use permit to allow a 10-foot curb �"� cut to access an accessory structure on his property. If granted, this would amend and repface special use permit #86-09. The original special use permit was granted for the second accessory structure and also stipulated that a driveway was not required as long PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 PAGE 2 as the garage was used for storage only, not for vehicles. The petitioner has requested a curb cut; therefore a driveway is to be installed. � Mr. Bolin stated the property is located at 291 Sylvan Lane. It is a comer lot with the home facing Sylvan Lane and the University Avenue service drive is to the east. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family, as are the surrounding properties. The existing detached garage meets the setback requirements. The lot is relatively flat and contains the second garage, the home, a garden, and some large trees. The lot was platted in 1957 as part of the Sylvan Hills Addition. In 1969, the home and the attached garage were constructed. In 1986, special use permit #86-09 was granted for the detached garage, and the garage was constructed the same year. Mr. Bolin stated staff recommends approval of Special Use Permit, S.P., #99-07 to amend and replace S.P. #86-09, with the following stipulations: 1. The petitioner shall construct hard surface driveway within one year of issuance of this special use permit. 2. The driveway shall be constructed in a manner to prevent detrimental runoff impacts to adjacent properties. 3. All necessary permits shall be obtained from the City prior to construction. 4. The structure shall not be used for a home occupation. 5. All vehicles shall be stored on a hard surface driveway as approved by the City. 6. The siding and roof materials on the accessory structure shall continue to match the exterior of the existing home. ^ 7. Approval of S.P. #99-07 would eliminate S.P. #86-07. Mr. Kuechle asked if there were any rulings against two curb cuts on a residential property. Mr. Bolin stated the code would allow these two curb cuts. Mr. Oquist asked who is responsible for the curb cut. Mr. Bolin stated the petitioner is responsible for the curb cut. Mr. McPhillips stated the curb cuts are done by a subcontractor through the City. He pays the City, and the City pays the subcontractor. Mr. McPhillips stated he has one question about the driveway. He drives on that yard approximately 6 to 10 times a year. He did not feel he needed a driveway. There are finro mature trees on the property. If he paved a driveway, those trees will die. He has been in the construction business for 41 years. If a driveway is next to an oak tree, it will die. The tree is over 100 years old, and he does not want to lose it. Because he drives on that area less than 12 times a year, he did not feel he needed a driveway. If the Planning Commission wanted to come out and look, they would see that there are no tracks. There are none now. He has had that garage there for over 10 years, and it looks as though there has never been anything driven there. Before that, he drove �, f PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 PAGE 3 ^ across the neighbor's property. They are now having a dispute, and the neighbor no longer wants him to drive there. He now needs access to the garage. Mr. McPhillips stated he has talked with the Public Works Department, and they did not say anything about that. The Public Works Department issued a permit for which he paid $155.00, and they said that would install the curb cut. After they looked in the file, they saw the stipulation on the original permit. If that stipulation had not been there, he could have a curb cut now. The property to the north has two curb cuts 10 feet apart. One is to access the property to the west that has an easement to drive motor homes in and out. Until this year, they drove in there twice a week. There is no driveway there. There are a lot of situations in the City where there are no driveways. Ms. Savage asked if Mr. McPhillips was oppposed to the driveway stipulation. Mr. McPhillips stated he is definitely opposed. He is not willing to lose that 100-year-old oak tree. If there is driving near those trees, in two to three years they will have to be removed. Mr. Sielaff stated he agreed that the construction of a driveway would kill the trees. Mr. Oquist asked if the Code requires a driveway. Mr. Bolin stated the City does have a driveway paving program for all driveways to be ^ paved by 2002. If there is a curb cut to a garage, it does indicate that it will be used as � a driveway in staff's opinion. Mr. McPhillips stated he built the garage in 1986. City staff was going to come back in one year to see if there were cars driven there. He has not had a driveway there in 13 years. Now he needs one because he is requesting a curb cut. He does not understand. He has had cars in there off and on. Basically, the garage is for storage. He has a street rod now that he plans to sell next year. He will then have a driveway and will not have a car. Instead he will have a driveway bisecting his lot so there is a 10-foot strip on the north end of the Iot that he has to maintain. That will look stupid. What is the point of losing those trees? If that is the stipulation, he does not want a curb cut. He will live with it. Mr. Sielaff asks how he now gains access to the garage. Mr. McPhillips stated he drives through the yard to get there now. Actually, he keeps the car in the attached garage and keeps his truck in the driveway. Ms. Savage asked what was the situation in 1986 that the petitioner received a special use permit that allowed the building but did not provide a curb cut or driveway. Mr. Bolin stated that at that time� the special use permit was granted with the intent that �, the garage would be used just for storage. The stipulation read that if the garage were _ to be used for vehicle storage or as an actual vehicle garage, then it would need to be paved. FLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 PAGE 4 Mr. Oquist asked if the petitioner had any problems with the other stipulations. �� Mr. McPhillips stated no, just that one. Mr. Kuechle stated he can understand the petitione�s rationale for not wanting the driveway. He can also understand the City's interest in keeping a handle on this. Even though Mr. McPhillips may never use that as a driveway and never damage the grass, if he sells the house in two years, that stipulation for no driveway is still there. That does concem him. Is there any way they can deal with this? Mr. Saba stated there must be a way to control that. He agreed that, if a driveway is installed, the petitioner will lose the trees. Mr. Bolin stated the Commission could put on a stipulation similar to the original stipulation where staff could go back one year later to check to make sure that the petitioner was not frequently driving across the grass or a stipulation that indicates, upon the sale of the home, the hard surface driveway must be installed. Or, they could add a stipulation that gives staff some flexibility that at staff's discretion, if it is found that this has become a driveway, a hard surface driveway shall be installed. Mr. Kuechle asked the petitioner how he would feel about something like that. Mr. McPhillips stated he would have no problem with that. MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to close the hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:48 P.M. Mr. Saba stated he would agree to somehow delete and replace stipulations regarding the driveway. He liked the idea of staff having the discretion. Mr. Kuechle agreed. He would like the stipulation to indicate that at staff s discretion, if this is being used as a driveway to the point where it is obviously a driveway with ruts in the yard and the grass being dead, a hard surface driveway shall be installed or the curb cut removed. Ms. Savage stated stipulations 1 and 2 would then be deleted. Mr. Oquist asked if stipulation 3 was necessary in that the City installs the curb cut and the petitioner pays the City. Mr. Bolin stated the petitioner has a permit already. �-, Mr. Oquist stated his concem is that� if he puts in the curb cut and then someone else in ,-� the future purchases the property, they could use that to go in and out. He agreed they � J PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 PAGE 5 need some control on that, but he did not see the need for a hard surface drive at this �'� time. Mr. Sielaff asked if the special use permit could expire if there was a change in ownership. Mr. Kuechle stated that would be a burden in that the petitioner has to get it cleared up before selling the property or the buyer must come in and get a permit. If they are turned down, they have a non-conforming piece of property. He would prefer not to have something hanging over their heads if they don't have any control. If the Commission puts in a stipulation that says, as long as it shows no sign of being used as a driveway, it is then at staff's discretion that the petitioner does or does not need to put in a driveway. If it starts behaving as a driveway, then it needs to be paved. Ms. Savage asked if that would be sufficient for staff. Mr. Bolin stated that would be acceptable. Mr. Sielaff suggested the wording, °At stafPs discretion, inspections will be conducted of the area between the curb cut and the garage and, if found to be regularly used as a driveway, a hard surFace drive shall be constructed or the curb cut removed." MOTION by Mr. Sielaff, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to recommend approval of Special ,r-� Use Permit, S.P. #99-07, by Michael McPhillips, to allow a 10-foot curb cut to access an accessory building, legally described as Lot 19, Block 2, Sylvan Hills Plat 4, generally located at 291 Sylvan Lane, with the following stipulations: 1. At staff's discretion, inspections will be conducted of the area between the curb cut and the garage and, if found to be regularly used as a driveway, a hard surface drive shall be constructed or the curb cut removed. 2. All necessary permits shall be obtained from the City prior to construction. 3. The structure shall not be used for a home occupation. 4. All vehicles shall be stored on a hard surface driveway as approved by the City. 5. The siding and roof materials on the accessory structure shall continue to match the exterior of the existing home. 6. Approval of S.P. #99-07 eliminates S.P. #86-07. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Bolin stated the City Council would consider this request on September 13. 2. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT. S.P. 99-08. BY MICHAEL BOLDENOW. ALLINA UNITY HOSPITAL: To allow a proposed 2"d story expansion to be added to Unity Hospital to accommodate the ICU, legally described as All that part of the Northwest Quarter � of the Northeast Quarter (NW'/ of NE'/4) of Section Eleven (11), Township � Thirty (30), Range Twenty-four (24), Melody Manor 2"d Addition, generally located at 550 Osbome Road N.E. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 PAGE 6 MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Saba, to waive the reading of the public �^� hearing notice and to open the public hearing. . UPON A V�ICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:55 P.M. Mr. Bolin stated the petitioner is requesting a special use permit to allow the construction of a second story addition on a portion of the existing facility. The expansion would occur at the easterly portion of the building located at 550 Osbome Road. The property is located in an R-1, Single Family, zoning district which is why a special use permit is required. To the west and to the south is R-1, Single Family; to the north across Osbome Road is Spring Lake Park; and to the east is a clinic zoned CR-1, General Office. Mr. Bolin stated the proposed addition is to be above the existing Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The expansion would be used as the new ICU and would allow the hospital an opportunity to upgrade the equipment in their ICU. This additional space does not create any more demand for parking, does not increase the number of beds, and does not increase the number of employees. The hospital is working on a 3 to 5 year plan to do some interior renovations and remodeling. The space that is to be vacated by the existing ICU will be used by different departments in the hospital during the remodeling. Mr. Bolin stated the site is a 31-acre parcel that contains the hospital buildings, parking �"� lots, and some rather large areas of grass and trees. In 1965 the first building permit for the hospital was issued. In 1970, 1971, 1980, 1982, 1985, 1991, 1993, and 1995, additions were made to the hospital. Special use permits were granted for expansion of the hospital in 1984, 1993, and 1995. Mr. Bolin stated hospitals are a permitted special use in the R-1 zoning district and the proposed expansion with stipulations will comply with the requirements for the special use permit. This special use permit is in addition to the previous special use permits and is not intended to replace the previous special use permits. Staff recommends approval of the special use permit with the following stipulations: 1. All building permits must be obtained prior to start of construction. 2. As interior renovations are completed and additional beds are added, the hospital shall install the number of parking stalls required to meet zoning code requirements. However, the City reserves the right to require additional parking should demand of the facility warrant it at any time prior to completion of interior renovations. Mr. Bolin stated a special use permit granted in 1995 identified a.shortage of 6 parking stalls at that time and placed the stipulation worded similarly to stipulation #2. Since that special use permit was issued, staff has not found any reason yet to require the additional 6 parking stalls. Since the hospital is under a 3 to 5 year plan for interior ^ remodeling and before they get to the point where they will be adding additional beds, �e % PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 PAGE 7 � staff feels this stipulation would adequately address any parking problems that may arise. Mr. Bolin reviewed the elevations of the proposed addition. The proposed height will be about 37 feet. The addition is approximately 260 feet from the nearest residence on Lyric Lane. Mr. Kuechle asked if there had been any neighborhood meetings to explain the project. Mr. Bolin stated he has had a phone call from a resident seeking more information about the project. He is not aware of any information meetings being held with the neighbors. Mr. Boldenow stated he had nothing to add to the staff report. Ms. Savage asked if the petitioner had any problem with the stipulations. Mr. Boldenow stated, no. Mr. Oquist asked when they planned to start construction. Mr. Boldenow stated they planned to start construction the day after they receive approval. They had a negotiated contractor from the day they started designing the � addition. They have done some preparation work, mobilized a trailer, and put up some construction fencing. Mr. Sielaff asked if the petitioner had held meetings with the neighborhood. Mr. Boldenow stated, no. A resident living across the street from the hospital thought they had started construction on the building. Mr. Boldenow stated they have an electrical permit issued by the State of Minnesota to do an electrical project that is related but not part of the scope of the ICU construction. The electrical work is to upgrade the power for the existing facility. This upgrade will also be used by the ICU. The resident stated he thought there was roof removal and remodeling going on right now. Mr. Bruns stated they are currently covering the roof so that when construction starts the roof is covered with plywood to protect the existing roof. This has been done in advance to save the roof. � Mr. Boldenow stated there has also been some field investigation done. The building done in 1984 was designed for a second story. When this was constructed, there was � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 PAGE 8 re-bar and future columns placed. Once you tear the protective membrane apart, you ,,� have to go back and protect that from water damage. The resident stated he was not privy to the design concepts on the building, but he thought thei-e had been leaking when the building was first constructed. Mr. Bruns stated he was not aware of any. The resident asked if the petitioner had looked at the impact of traffic on Lyric Lane. He also knew there was a code for residential landscaping and asked if they also had landscaping requirements. The hospital has not added any landscaping on Lyric Lane for 25 years. Mr. Bruns stated they added landscaping at the time of the project in 1993. They did whatever the City asked at that time. The resident stated he thought the City should re-look at the landscaping on the Lyric Lane side of the hospital. All the deliveries go off Lyric Lane. All the trucks go down Lyric Lane. All the employees come in on Lyric Lane. By building another ICU, there will be more employees using that backside. If you could build on the Osbome Road side where is more commercial rather than residential should be looked at. He has spoken to a couple of people at the hospital and he has called the City a few times because there are people who drive 70 or 80 miles an hour down there. As they keep on remodeling and expanding, business is doing well, but they also need to look at the ^ impact that it has on the neighbors. He asked them to look at Lyric Lane and look at adding some landscaping. He would like to see a better neighbor in the hospital. He did not know how much landscaping they could add with the parking, but he thought they could add a little more. It would at least help block some of the activity. Mr. Bolin stated that as far as the landscaping, currently the hospital has done everything the code requires them to do. The addition has not triggered the need for add itional landscaping. The resident stated they have added on to the hospital along Lyric Lane. They have had their house looked at by a realtor, and the hospital has reduced the price of the house. Ne thought it would help if they would do some additional landscaping or perhaps a bigger berm would help. Mr. Bruns stated the addition is more than 150 feet away from the residents. It is more like 1,000 feet away from his. They did all that they had to do. They built berms, added evergreens, etc. They are not adding any additional employees. There will be no more traffic than there is now. Mr. Kuechle asked the architect if he had any knowledge of the typical traffic patterr� in that area. � df � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 PAGE 9 � Mr. Boldenow stated that would be more typical if an overall addition was proposed with � additional beds and additional staff. Because this is on top of an existing structure, no site work was done. It was never part of the investigation. Mr. Kuechle stated he wondered if there was anything that could be done on site to better manage the flow or path that people are taking into the parking lot. Mr. Boldenow stated he was not aware that there was a problem so it is difficult for him to answer that. There will be no additional staff and no additional beds. Patients and visitors will be entering as they are now at the Osbome entrance. Mr. Kuechle stated he was not anticipating or suggesting that they are not meeting the requirements. Obviously at least one neighbor sees the traffic pattern as it currently is as a problem. He was wondering if any thought has been given to rearranging driveways or something similar to change the pattem. Mr. Boldenow stated they have not had this reaction before. Usually the only complaint they have is from debris. If they would have had any knowledge that there was a problem, the hospital would have let them know and they would have approached it with some type of solution. Again, this is the first he has heard there was a problem with traffic. Mr. Bruns stated it would be possible to close off the entrance/exit on Lyric Lane but � that would be an issue with the fire department. Mr. Boldenow stated the City has certain requirements for fire access to every portion of the building. That is something they could research. At this time, the space vacated will be used by another department. In 1993, when they moved the in-patient surgery unit to its current location, that existing area remained vacant for two years and was then filled in 1995 for Ambulatory Care and a special use permit approved. At that point, there was additional staff and at that point they were 6 parking spaces short; therefore the stipulation. MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to close the hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:15 P.M. Mr. Oquist stated he felt this request was rather straightForward. This is to be an expansion upward. There are to be no additional beds and no additional staff.

SUNIlVIARY OF PROJECT George Bydlon, petitioner, is requesting a special use permit to allow the construction of a 264 square foot accessory building. The building will be used as a screen porch in summer & for pontoon boat storage in winter. Petitioner is also seeking, from the Appeals Commission, a variance to allow this building and the existing garage in the Code defined front yard SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS City Sta, fj`'recommends approval of this special use permit, with stipulations. Second accessory buildings over 240 square feet aze a permitted special use in the R-1 zoning district. CITY COUNCIL ACTION October 11, 1999 Staff Report Prepazed by: Paul Bolin SP #99-10 Analvsis George Bydlon, property owner at 6454 Riverview Ten�ace is seeking a special use permit to construct a 264 square foot second accessory structure. A small detached garage currently sits on this site. The new structure will be used in the winter for covered, screened pontoon boat storage and in the summer will be used as a screen porch/pazk shelter type building for the petitioner and his family. The petitioner is also seeking a variance from the Appeals Commission to correct the non- conformity of lus existing garage being located in the Code defined front yazd and to allow construction of this second accessory building. The original home was built in 1936, facing the river. In 1949, the garage was built in it's current location. In 1985, a variance was granted for an addition to the home that reduced the setback from the bluff line from 40' to 20'. By code, ttus is the petitioners rear yazd Due to the fact that structures must be setback 40' from the bluff line, the only place for the petitioner to construct ttus accessory building is in the Code defined front yazd ^ Accessory buildings over 240 square feet are a permitted special use. If the building were reduced by 2' in length it would not require the special use permit. However, these two feet are needed by the petitioner to accommodate storage of his pontoon boat and avoid code violations for boat storage in the front yard. The existing garage and the proposed accessory building aze a total of 588 square feet, which is 812 square feet less than the total allowed by Code. The petitioner accesses his home through a 25' wide easement across the property immediately to the ^ East of his property. This neighboring property sluelds all views of the petitioners property. The location of the proposed accessory structure is located such that it will not take away neighbors view's of the river. The lo�ation of this accessory structure seems to be the optimal spot for this site. Therefore, staff recommends approval of this special use permit. Staff Recommendallon City Sta, fj`'recommends approval of this special use permit, with the following stipulatioris. 1. All necessary permits shall be obtained from the City prior to construction. 2. This special use permit shall become null and void if VAR #99-25 is not approved 3. The accessory building shall be architecturally compatible with the existing home and gara.ge. Front facs of home. � We have applied for a permit to build a shelter on our property at 6454 Riverview Terrace. We have been told that our plan does not comply with the city code because we are building the shelter on the side of our property that faces the street, which according to Fridley code is our front yazd. Our property is located on the Mississippi river and the front of the house faces the river. We have an easement from the street to get to our driveway and garage. When our house was built in 1936, it was common to build the front of the house, i.e., front yazd, facing the river. Our back yazd faces the street. It would be impractical to build a shelter between our house and the river and would be impossible to access because the driveway only connects to the end of our lot facing the street. � �'� ,� , , c� � �,L � �� � � ��� � ��� � T -� �.

SUMMARY OF PROJECT Property owner is seeking a special use permit to construct an automobile repair garage, with space for a"quick lube" type oil changing service. Petitioner is also seeking to rezone a portion of the property from R-3 to C-2 to make the entire property commercial. SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS City Staff recomtnends approval of the special use peYrnit request, with stipulations. Repair gazages aze a permitted special use in the C-2 zoning district, as are automobile service stations and oil dispensing services. The special use permit, if granted, should be for these purposes only, not for motor vehicle fuel sales. City Staff recommends approval of the r-ezoning request, with stipulations. If the rezoning were to be denied, the petitioner would need to seek a special use permit to a11ow the majority of his parking lot to be located in the R-3 zoning district and to seek a variance to allow the building to be 3' from a residential district vs. the code required 50'. Staff Report by: Scott Hickok & Paul Bolin . � .. � • ; • • ;� � �' PROJECT Mr. Brian Bona is seeking a special use permit and a rezoning of property to allow a repair garage at 5333 University Avenue. The proposed garage is 4,900 sq. feet in size and will contain an office, customer waiting area, 5 service bays, and 2 oil changing bays. The petitioner intends to offer general auto repair and maintenance, such as: tune-ups, oil changes, electrical, heating, air conditioning, steering, brakes, suspension, and drive train work. In addition to the special use permit and rezoning being sought, the petitioner must also receive a variance to reduce the required building setback from a neighboring residential district from 50' to 30'. At the Appeals Commission Meeting, regarding the variances, the Commission and the petitioner came to an agreement that eliminated 5 of the 6 variances originally being sought by the petitioner. Four of the variances that were eliminated involved number, location, and size of parking stalls: All of these variances can be eliminated by rearranging the parking on-site. A fifth variance, which was eliminated by denial due to it's dependence on approval of ZOA #99-04, involved the building be located 3' from a neighboring residential district to the north rather than the code required 50' separation. n The variance request, which was approved by the Appeals Commission on a 3-2 vote, � was to reduce the required setback from the residential area to the east from 50' to 30'. Staff had no recommendation on this request, as it was within previously granted dimensions. However, staff had identified a way to relocate the building to the front yard setback line that would have eliminated this variance as well. While the variance has been recommended for approval by the Appeals Commission, through the Special Use Permit Process, relocating the building (and eliminating this variance) will become necessary to meet the criteria required for the granting of a special use permit. REZONING Mr. Bona has requested a rezoning of the property of Lots 24-30, Hamilton's Addition to Mechanicsville from R-3, General Multiple Units, to C-2. General Business. Three criteria are used to determine the °fit" of the rezoning request into its surrounding area. The following is a summary is meant to summarize staff s answers to the "fit" question relative to the three criteria. Compatibility of the proposed district with adjacent uses and zoning The zoning to the north and east is R-3, General Multiple Unit Residential. To the South is C-2, General Business and West is University Avenue and R-3, General Multiple Unit Residential. The rezoning request is compatible with the land to the south. �--� The rezoning would generally extend the C-2, commercial activities north along the !—` University Avenue Corridor. It should be noted, however, that the City has experienced a diminishing trend of commercial activities locating themselves along the corridor. Properties north of Highway 694 have transitioned from commercial to residential (i.e. Custom Mechanical, Frank's Used Cars, JR's Auto, etc.) Commercial activity is still very strong near the major intersections and near the Municipal plaza, however, lack of direct access to University has somewhat changed the dynamic and eventual development patterns along the comdor. This is not to say that the request is incompatible with the proposed district designation, however, it appears to be somewhat contrary to market driven development trends the community has observed. Compatibility of the proposed use with the proposed district The proposed auto repair use is permitted by special use. A stipulation requiring approval of the special use permit request will be required to assure the rezoning request meets this criteria Compliance of the proposed use with the proposed district requirements In the C-2 district, a minimum lot size of 20,000 s.f. is required. This site is 44,265 s.f. The property is currently vacant. The future use would need to fully comply with the C- 2, General Business District. With a staff recommended revision to the site plan all ,�-� variances are eliminated and the proposed use is then compatible with the proposed district. The petitioner has requested a variance to move the building 20' closer the residential neighborhood to the east. The Appeals Commission recommended approval of the variance, however, this element is viewed by staff as an incompatibility of the proposed use with the proposed district. Therefore, the proposal fails this rezoning criteria unless the site plan is modified to have all building setbacks meet those in the C-2 district. The City of Fridley has worked very hard and spent a great deal of time and money to respond to citizen and business concems regarding the City's image along its corridors. The proposal shows 7 overhead garage doors facing University Avenue. This is contrary to the storefront, "best foot forward image" the City has worked to encourage elsewhere. Staff s recommended site plan not only eliminates the variances required for this project, it also reverses the building and places the doors on the east side of the building so that the University Avenue building face can be finished in an attractive storefront manner. A stipulation requiring compliance with all performance standards will be required in order that this request then meets this rezoning criteria. SPECIAL USE PERMIT �..1 The purpose of a special use permit is to provide the City with a reasonable degree of discretion in determining the suitability of certain uses upon the general welfare, public health and safety of the area in which it is located. In determining if a use is suitable for � it's proposed location, the City may consider the nature of neighboring buildings and land, effects upon traffic, noise created by use, and other impacts to surrounding properties. The special use permit gives the City the ability to place stipulations on the proposed use to eliminate negative impacts to surrounding properties. The City also has the right to deny the special use permit request if impacts to surrounding properties cannot be eliminated through stipulations. With SP#99-09, the petitioner is seeking the special use permit to construct an automobile repair garage and a°quick-lube" type oil changing service. Repair garages, automobile service stations, and oil dispensing services are permitted special uses in the C-2 zoning district. These types of uses can have negative impacts to neighboring properties. The possible negative impacts from this proposal relate to noise and an excessive number of overhead doors facing a public right of way. Code Section 205.14.01.0 (5), States Automobile service stations.....and oil dispensing services must meet a series of minimum standards in order to insure protection of the public health, safety and general welfare. Because of traffic hazards, noise, light glare at night, outdoor storage of inerchandise, indiscriminate advertising and other characteristics of this type of business which are potentially detrimental to the community, these minimum standards shall be considered, along with any other recommendations the City may determine necessary to eliminate the particular problems in achieving compatibility with abutting and adjacent land uses. (a) The Special Use Permit for an automobile service station is only for uses noted in the definition. (b) The use shall not provide for the outdoor operation of lubrication equipment, hydraulic lifts or service pits; or the outdoor display of inerchandise... (c) The property shall not be used as a place of storage or depository of wrecked, abandoned or junked motor vehicles or the display of used motor vehicles or the sale or display of used motor vehicles. (d) Any required buffer or screening area shall be so constructed as to obstruct headlight beams of motor vehicles on the station property from beaming onto adjacent residential property. (e) Activities prohibited: 1. Heavy duty repair garages. 2. Vehicular parking except for the owner's and employee's vehicles and a maximum of (3) service vehicles. Automobiles being senriced may be parked for a maximum period of 48 hours at any one time. The starting of cars, pneumatic tools, and hydraulic lifts used in these types of operations do create noise. RECOMMENDATIONS �� �� City staff has developed separate recommendations for the two requests. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request ZOA #99-04, with stipulations 1. Pending approval of special use permit SP #99-09. 2. The petitioner shall modify the site plan to eliminate all variances for the proposed facility. Staff recommends approval of the special use permit request with the following stipulations 1. The Special Use Permit for an automobile service station is only for uses noted in the definition. 2. The use shall not provide for the outdoor operation of lubrication equipment. hydraulic lifts or service pits; or the outdoor display of inerchandise. 3. The property shall not be used as a place of storage or depository of wrecked, abandoned or junked motor vehicles or the display of used motor vehicles or the sale or display of used motor vehicles. 4. All required buffer or screening area shall be so constructed as to obstruct headlight beams of motor vehicles on the station properly from beaming onto adjacent residential property. 5. A landscape plan will be required to be submitted and approved by staff prior to issuance of a building permit. n 6. The petitioner's shall proposal shall not include, nor shall the petitioner, his successors ,or heirs all prohibited activities on this site (i.e. Heavy duty repair garages) 7. Vehicular parking shall be limited to the owner's and employee's vehicles and a maximum of (3) service vehicles. Automobiles being serviced may be parked for a maximum period of 48 hours at any one time. 8. The site plan for this proposal shall be submitted and approved prior to issuance of a building permit. 9.

Replat of properiy to combine 221ots and a vacated street into two SF lots. 2. Vacate a portion of Cheryl Street. Existing Zoning: R-1 Single Family Residential Location: 520 Dover Street Size of Property: 73,314 square feet 1.68 acres Existing Land Use: Vacant. �"� Surrounding Land Use & Zoning: N: Single family & R-1 E: Single family & R-1 S: Springbrook Creek & R-1 W: Single family & R-1 Comprehensive Plan Conformance: Use of property is consistent with Plan. Zoning Ordinance Conformance: Once property is subdivided, the existing home will continue to meet code requirements. A new home can be built on the 2nd lot without any variances. Property History: • 1922 - Riverview Heights is platted. • Pre-1949 - Home is built. • 1958 - Garage is built. • 1965,1979 - Alterations made to home. • 1981 - Old gazage demolished and replaced with a new garage. • 1985 - Shed is built. Legal Description of Property: �� See Attached SPECIAL INFORMATION October 11, 1999 Public Utilities: Located near property. Transportation: Property is accessed from Dover Street. Physical Chazacteristics: NW portion of property is flat, South and East portions of property have steep wooded grades down to Springbrook Ck. SUMMARY OF REQUEST The Geis' are seeking to vacate an undeveloped portion of Cheryl Street, and to replat the vacated street and 22 individual lots into 2 single family lots. SUNINIARY OF ANALYSIS Due to the following factors: • Petitioner owns all property abutting portion to be vacated; • Due to slopes & Creek, it is not possible to build south of Cheryl Street; • Cheryl Street has never been improved due to steep slopes and vicinity to Creek. City Staff recommends approval of the street vacation, with stipulations Due to the following factors: • Both lots meet Code requirements; • Possible to build a home on proposed Lot 2 without variances; • Majority of the 221ots owned by the Geis' s aze 25' wide and not individually buildable; • Good use of underdeveloped land. City Staff recom�nends approval of the plat request, with stipulations. StaffReport Prepazed by: Paul Bolin SAV #99-04 & PS #99-04 ANALYSIS The petitioner is seeking to vacate an undeveloped portion of Cheryl Street and then to replat the vacated portion of the street and 22 substandard sized lots into two single family lots. The petitioner owns Lots 1-9, 28,29„ Block L and Lots 1-3, 25-32, Block M of Riverview Heights, and is seeking to vacate the portion of Cheryl Street laying between these two blocks. Staff would recommend that Cheryl be vacated from the Geis's property west to Broad Avenue. The new plat will contain the finro lots and will be known as the Geis Addition. Currently there is a home on proposed Lot 1, that will remain, and a new home will be built on proposed Lot 2. The petitioner owns the properly surrounding the proposed street vacation. The lots that are currently located south of Cheryl Street are unbuildable due to their size and the steep slope. Due to these steep slopes and the location of Springbrook Creek, City staff has determined that it would be highly unlikely that the City would have any desire or need to install Cheryl Street as platted. � The original vacation request affected only the portion of street that currently crosses and ends on the Geis's property. Letters have been received from neighbors in support of this request, with the understanding that this request applies only to the Geis's ^ property. However, since the entire undeveloped street has been enjoyed as private property for a number of years, and the additional property given back to neighboring properties would not create a great additional property tax burden to neighboring properties, staff recommends that Cheryl Lane be vacated in it's entirety between Broad Avenue and the Eastern most edge of the Geis property. The City Assessor has estimated that the neighboring properties would likely not see more than a$5 / year increase in their property taxes as a result of the land they would gain from the street vacation. Vacation of the additional segment of Cheryl, between the Geis property and Broad Street will require a hearing. This hearing will be advertised and will proceed prior to this item going to City Council. The petitioner will be notified regarding the City's need to extend the 60-day window to 120 days. Staff believe this entire segment of Cheryl should be vacated in spite of neighborhood objection to do so. A stub street with no installation potential leaves too many unanswered questions, and the potential that at some point in the future the City could receive a petition to improve that short segment of street, which now would serve no purpose. Granting the vacation, would enable this under utilized property to develop an additional single family home in an existing neighborhood. This would be consistent with the City's vision of providing these types of in-fill lots. As a developed City, Fridley does not ^ ^ have large pieces of undeveloped property for new housing subdivsion's, and must look at opportunities like this to keep growing. RECOMMENDATION FOR SAV #99-04 City Staff recommends approva/ of this proposed street vacation, with fhe following stipu/ations. 1. Grading and drainage plan to be approved by City's engineering staff prior to the issuance of any building permits, in order to minimize impact to the steep slope and Springbrook Creek. 2. Petitioner shall grant a drainage and utility easement across all land south and east of the 840' elevation line. 3. New home shall not be built on slopes exceeding a 12% grade change. 4. During construction of new home, silt fencing shall be used where applicable. 5. Petitioner to pay $750 per lot park fees prior to issuance of building permits. 6. Petitioner to pay all water and sewer connection fees. 7. The petitioner shall agree to preserve mature trees to the extent possible. All trees required to be removed for the new homes shall be marked and approved by City staff prior to issuance of building permits. RECOMMENDATION FOR PS #99-04 ^ Proposed lots exceed the size standards required by the City of Fridley Zoning Code. Fridley requires that lots in an R-1 district have a minimum total lot area of 9,000 square feet. The proposed lots are 54,084 square feet and 19,230 square feet in size. Staff concems with the steep slope and Springbrook Creek adjacent to the property are being addressed. All final grading and drainage plans shall meet the approval of City Engineering staff before building permits are issued, in order to minimize impacts to the steep hillside and Springbrook Creek. In addition, the petitioner shall grant a utility and drainage easement for all property located south and east of the 840' contour line identified on the preliminary plat. This easement simply means that while the Geis's retain ownership and responsibility for that property, they will not be allowed to build on that portion of the property. This portion of the property is unbuildable due to the severe slopes. City Stafif recommends approval of this proposed preliminary plat, with the following stipulations. 1. Grading and drainage plan to be approved by City's engineering staff prior to the issuance of any building permits, in order to minimize impact to the steep slope and Springbrook Creek. 2. Petitioner shall grant a drainage and utility easement across all land south and east � of the 840' elevation line. 3. New home shall not be built on slopes exceeding a 12% grade change. 4. During construction of new home, silt fencing shall be used where applicable. 5. Petitioner to pay $750 per lot park fees prior to issuance of building permits. �` 6. Petitioner to pay all water and sewer connection fees. 7. The petitioner shall agree to preserve mature trees to the extent possible. All trees required�to be removed for the new homes shall be marked and approved by City staff prior to issuance of building permits. 8. Plat approval is subject to approval of SAV #99-04. If the street vacation request should fail to be approved, the preliminary plat would also be denied. �, � ^ � LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF ENTIRE PARCEL: Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 28 and 29, Block L, and Lots 1, 2, 3, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, and 32, Block M, RIVERVIEW HEIGHTS, and that portion of vacated Cheryl Street lying Easterly of the southerly extension of the Westerly line of said Lot 9, and Westerly of the Southerly Extension of the East line of Lot 1, Block L, all of RIVERVIEW HEIGHTS, Anoka County, Minnesota.
