BACKGROUND
Explanation o_f Request:
A request for a lot split of the property located at 3855 Main Street NE. Currently 3855 Main
Street NE is 40 feet by 126 feet in size. The applicant is proposing to split this lot in half and add
20 feet to his property at 3849 Main Street, and 20 feet to the comer property at 3859 Main
Street. This split would bring both lots into conformance with current City lot standards.
Section 9.407(3) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance requires that an applicati°n for a lot
split be reviewed by the Planning"and Zoning Commission which shall provide a report to the
City Council either recommending approval or denial of the proposed lot split.
Case Histo~_ :
There are no previous Planning and Zoning Commission cases on this site.
ANALYSIS
Case: 2001-0609
Page: 2
Surrounding ProperS:
The surrounding property in all four directions is zoned R-3, Multi-Family Residential, and is
used residentially.
Technical Review:
Section 9.108(4) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance regulates lot area, width, and yard
requirements in the R-3 District, and Section 9.104(5) regulates accessory structures. Applicable
requirements are as follows.
· Minimum lot size shall be 6,500 square feet for a single family home - the proposed Tract
"A" is 7,572 square feet and Tract "B" is 8,834 square feet, both of which meet minimum
lot size requirements.
· Minimum lot width shall be 60 feet - Tract "A" will be 60 feet wide and Tract "B" will be
70 feet wide.
· Front yard shall be a minimum of 25 feet - the existing house on Lot 30 does not meet
this requirement as it is 24 feet from front property line, but is considered
'grandfathered'. The existing house on Lot 28 does not meet this requirement either as it
is 15 feet from the front property line, but is also considered 'grandfathered'.
· Rear yard shall be at least 30 feet - the existing houses on Tract "A" and Tract "B" will
both meet this requirement.
· Side yards shall be at least five feet - the existing house on Lot 30 is currently 6.5 feet
fi:om side property line, and the new side yard setback will be 26.5 feet, meeting
requirements. The existing house on Lot 28 is currently 3.4 feet fi:om the side property
line, but the lot addition will provide an eighteen (18) foot side yard setback, thus
meeting requirements.
· Detached accessory structures shall be at least 3 feet away fi:om side and rear property
lines - there is currently a detached garage on Lot 30 which meets the setback
requirements. The detached garage on lot 28 is 2.3 feet fi:om the property line, which does
not meet requirements. However, the new side yard setback will be 22.3 feet, thus
meeting requirements.
Any lot over 6,500 square feet may have a lot coverage of up to 30% - the lot coverages
on Tract "A" and Tract "B" will be well under 30%, so the proposal meets these
requirements.
Compliance with City Comprehensive Plan:
The City Comprehensive Plan designates this area for future low density residential
development.
Summary:
The positive aspects of this proposal are as follows.
1. The proposal is consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan and meets the minimum
requirements of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance.
2. Both 3849 and 3859 Main Street will become conforming lots with the proposed split.
Case: 2001-0609
Page: 3
CONCLUSION
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the lot split as it meets the technical standards of the Zoning
Ordinance and is consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan.
Recommended Motion:
Move to recommend City Council approval of the. lot split as it is consistent with City
subdivision standards.
Attachments:
· Completed application form; Certificate of Survey; Area map; Resolution; and Notice of
Public Hearing
This is an application for a lot split of the property currently known as 3855 Main Street. The prot0[qay is
40 feet wide, by 126 feet long. The property is to be split down the center with 20 feet to be added to the
two neighboring properties at 3849 and 3859 Main Street. 3849 is currently a 50 foot wide property and
3859 is currently a 40 foot wide property. This will also bring both of the lots into conformance with city
standards.
Thank you for your consideration

AGENT)A SECTION: Consent ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER
NO: Community Development APPROVAL
FrEM: Resolution 99-68, Lot Split BY: Joe Hollman BY:
I NO: Case # 9908-26, 3830 Hayes Street NE DATE: August 4, 1999
Issue Statement: A request for a lot split of the property located at 3830 Hayes Slxeet NE. Currently 3830 Hayes Street
NE is roughly 34,490 square feet in size, and the applicant is proposing to split off approximately 25,770 square feet to be
utilized as a separate building parcel.
Baek~round: Section 9.407(3) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance requires that an application for a lot split be
reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission which shall provide a report to the City Council either recommending
approval or denial of the proposed lot split. There are no previous Planning and Zoning Commission cases on this site.
Note that the applicant and staff have discussed the possibility of subdividing the property into three separate parcels and
constructing a road to serve the three properties. However, the property is not wide enough to accommodate this type of
development while still meeting minimum requirements.
Analysis: The proposed lot split meets all minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. One point of concern is that
there is currently a vacant lot located to the west of the subject property that is in a trust executed by the applicant. Should
the lot split be approved and Tract "B" sold to a separate party, the vacant lot would be unbuildable as it would become
completely landlocked. As a result, there is a recommended condition of approval that the vacant parcel either be
combined with Tract "B" to form a single buildable parcel or sold to one of the property owners adjacent to the vacant
parcel that have frontage on Johnson Street. This will need to be done prior to the recording of the lot split resolution with
Anoka County. One question that was raised during the public hearing pertained to whether or not a house could be built
in the back of the lot. The minimum front yard setback required in the R-2 District is 25 feet. Also, section 9.116(16)(o)
,~the Zoning Ordinance states that in any "R" District where the average depth of the front yard for buildings within 200
c of the lot in question and within the same block front is lesser or greater than that required by Ordinance, the required
front yard for the lot in question shall be the average plus or minus 10% of the depth; however, the depth of the required
front yard shall not be less than 10 feet nor more than 50 feet. In summary any new house built on Tract "B" will need to
be along the same building line as the houses within 200 feet of the subject property.
Attachments: Staff Report; Resolution 99-68, Completed application form; Certificate of Survey; Area map; and Notice of
Public Hearing
Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing for the request on August 3, 1999.
They voted to recommend City Council approval of the lot split subject to the condition listed in the recommended
motion.
Recommended Motions:
Move to waive the reading of Resolution 99-68, there being ample copies available to the public.
Move to adopt Resolution 99-68, a resolution approving a lot split of the property at 3830 Hayes Street NE, subject to the
following condition.
1. The vacant parcel located adjacent to the westerly boundary of the subject property shall be combined with Tract
"B' or with one of the adjacent prope,,rlies with frontage along Johnson Street NE to form a single parcel. This
combination shall occur prior to recording the lot split resolution with Anoka County.

Case: 2001-0201
Page: 2
ANALYSIS
Surrounding Property:
Surrounding property on the north, south, and west is zoned R-3 (Multi-Family District) and is
used residentially. Property to the east is University Avenue.
Technical Review:
The Zoning Ordinance specifies that this proposal is a permitted use in the R-3 Multi-Family
District as noted in Section 9.109(1)(b), which states that "Multiple family buildings [are
permitted uses] subject to the lot area per family provisions of Section 9.109(4)(5)."
The revised proposal meets and exceeds the minimum yard and density requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance as follows:
Lot Width shall be at least 80 ft. - subject parcel exceeds this requirement witha lot width
of 110 feet.
Minimum lot area shall be at least 10,000 sq. ft. - subject parcel exceeds this requirement
with 12,188 square feet. Total lot coverage of the primary building and accessory
structures is 30%.
Front Yard Setback shall be 30 ft. - building proposed is at the minimum 30 foot setback.
The Side Yard Setback shall be 10 ft. - the proposal will exceed this requirement with 20
foot setbacks from both property lines.
Rear Yard Setback shall be 20 ft. - the subject parcel exceeds this requirement with a 38
foot setback.
The front faqade area as recommended in the proposed zoning ordinance requires a
minimum of 20% of the front faqade area facing a street to be doors or windows in
residential areas - This proposal covers 21% of the front faqade area, meeting the
requirements of the proposed ordinance.
Parking requirements will be met as each unit includes a two-stall garage measuring 20 ft. by 20
ft. This is the min/mum recommended size for a two-stall garage. The proposal includes two
units, each with a two-car attached garage, and two units each with a two-car detached garage.
The preliminary site plan has been reviewed by the City Engineer and he is waiting on the survey
in order to determine drainage and erosion concerns. The City Engineer is comfortable with
Planning Commission approval subject to his final review and approval.
Compliance with Ci_ty Comprehensive Plan:
The new Comprehensive Plan designates this area as medium and high density residential. The
residential 4-plex proposal is consistent with the sun'ounding residential area, so the proposal is
cOnsistent with the City Comprehensive Plan.

ANALYSIS
Surrounding Property:
RB, Retail Business is the existing zoning on the subject parcel and on property to the north and
is used commercially. The zoning to the south of the subject parcel is zoned R-3, Multiple
Family Residential, and is used for multi-family residential purposes. The area to the east is
zoned R-2, two-family residential, and is used residentially. Property west of the subject parcel
is part of the commercial district for the City of Hilltop. The proposed use will be consistent
with the character of the surrounding property.
Technical Review:
The principal uses of the subject parcel are preexisting and comply with zoning regulations.
Existing parking exceeds zoning requirements, and the property will still meet minimum parking
requirements after the placement of the tree display area over sixteen (16) parking spaces. The
operation should not have any effect on vehicular access for the site, as only one parking lot aisle
will be blocked. According to Section 9.113(2)(a) of the Zoning Ordinance, open sales lots are
only allowed as a Conditional Use within any "RB" Business District. This proposal is
consistent with zoning regulations. Please also note that the Fire Department is required to
review the construction of the tent, as well as fire extinguishers and required exits in relation to
fire codes. However, the applicant did not submit all required materials on time, so the Fire
Department will have to approve the proposed tent construction and site plan before the tent is
erected.
Compliance with City Comprehensive Plan:
The Land Use Plan Map designates this area of Columbia Heights for future commercial activity,
including retail sales, offices, and service businesses. The proposal is consistent with the intent
of the City Comprehensive Plan.
The positive aspects of this petition are as follows:
1. The proposal is consistent with the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance and
Comprehensive Plan.
CONCLUSION
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit provided a $500 deposit is submitted
to the License/Permit Clerk prior to the display of the tent on the site to ensure removal at the
end of the approved time period. ,o
Recommended Motion:
Move to recommend City Council approval of the Conditional Use Permit to allow the
placement of a 40 x 80 foot tent for the display and sale of clearance merchandise from June 15,
through August 15, 2001, at 4747 Central Avenue NE subject to the following conditions:
