PUBLIC HEARINGS Case #: 2002-0807 325 Summit St Lot Split City of Columbia Heights A request has been made for a lot split of the property located at 325 Summit Street NE. Currently 325 Summit St NE consists of three lots (Lots 16, 17, 18) and measures approximately 11,730 square feet in size. The City is proposing to split offa portion of this property (Tract B), which will be used for a street and alley reconfiguration adjoining an area which is being redeveloped. Section 9.410(4) 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. The surrounding property to the north is a commercial business. The properties to the south and east are single and multi-family residential. The properties to the west are City-owned properties and are vacant. This parcel is part of a redevelopment area that has been under consideration for the last two years. Once all the parcels are obtained, the redevelopment area will be approximately one acre in size. Once the portion needed for reconfiguring the street and alley is split, the City intends to re-sell the remaining portion that has a house on it. Planner Johnson reviewed the resolution and the survey that was prepared for the purpose of establishing the new legal descriptions for the parcels in question. PLANNING & ZONING MINUTES AUGUST 6, 2002 PAGE 2 Technical Review: Section 9.903 of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance regulates lot area, setback, height and lot coverage requirements in the R-1 District; and Section 9.603 regulates accessory structures and lot coverage. Applicable requirements are as follows. Minimum lot size shall be 6,500 square feet for a single family home - the proposed split would provide 325 Summit St. consisting of Lots 17 and 18, with 8,410 square feet (Tract A), and will allow for Lot 16 (Tract B) with 3,320 square feet to be separated fi:om Tract A. A portion of Tract B will actually be used for the proposed street and alley reconfiguration, and a portion is proposed to be combined with adjacent City-owned properties for redevelopment purposes. Any lot over 6,500 square feet may have a lot coverage of up to 30%-the lot coverage will be well under 30%, so the proposal meets these requirements. The City currently owns 3944 and 3950 Lookout Place, which are vacant commercial properties. The City is closing on the property at 3955 University Avenue (The former Conoco Station) in September. The City also owns 325 Summit St, and with the proposed lot split, a portion of Lookout Place would eventually be vacated, and the adjacent alley reconfigured. This reconfiguration would allow for a functional future redevelopment site of approximately one acre. The City is also currently negotiating to purchase the commercial business at 322 40th Avenue, thereby creating a more usable, larger and functional property. A future vacation of a portion of Lookout Place would create a safer intersection and open up a future development opportunity for the 40th and University Avenue corridor. The City Comprehensive Plan designates this area for future transit-oriented development, and the intended redevelopment of this area is consistent with the Comp Plan. The proposal also meets the minimum requirements of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance. Staff, therefore, recommends approval of the lot split. Yehle questioned whether we have had any interest in the one acre site as of yet. Planner Johnson stated that there have been inquiries, but it hasn't been marketed yet. The City has been waiting to get all the purchases completed prior to pursuing any specific developers or uses of the property. Motion by Schmitt, second by Yehle, to recommend City Council approval of Resolution 2002- 49for the lot split of 325 Summit Street, as it is consistent with City subdivision standards. Ail ayes. MOTION PASSED. NEW BUSINESS There was no other new business. PLANNING & ZONING MINUTES AUGUST 6, 2002 PAGE 3 MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS Upcoming First Ring Suburb Planning Forum: The Richfield Planning Commission and other suburbs are meeting to discuss issues relevant to cities surrounding the Minneapolis area. Issues being considered important to all the first ring suburbs include age of the current housing stock, redevelopment projects, funding concerns, etc. The City of Richfield is hosting a meeting on September 9, 2002, in the evening. Commission members thought the concept of discussing these issues with other cities in similar situations was a good idea and sounded very interesting. Several of the members plan on attending the meeting. Motion by Yehle, second by Schmitt, to adjourn the meeting at 7.'14 pm. All ayes. Respectfully submitted, Shelley Hanson Secretary Case: 2002-0908 Page: 1 STAFF REPORT TO TI:IE~ PLANNING AND ZONING COlVIMISSION FOR THF~ SEPTEMBER 3, 2002 PUBLIC HEARING Case #: 2002-0908 Owner: Address: Phone: Terrell Berglund 3011 Arth~ Street NE Mpls, MN (612) 789-6097 GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: Parcel Address: 3906 Reservoir Blvd NE Zoning: R-2, Single and Two-Family Residential Comprehensive Plan: LDR, Low Density Residential salrle Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: Zoning North: R-2 South: R-2 East: R-2 West: R-3 Land Use North: Residential South: Residential East: Residential West: Residential BACKGROUND Explanation of Request: A request for a lot split of the vacant property located at 3906 Reservoir Blvd NE. Currently 3906 Reservoir Boulevard is one parcel measuring 60 feet by 160 feet. The applicant is proposing to split the property down the center, thereby creating twinhome zero lot line parcels. Case Histo~_ : There are no previous Planning and Zoning Commission cases on this site. Case: 2002-0908 Page: 2 ANALYSIS Surrounding Property: The surrounding property is zoned R-2, single and two-family residential and is used residentially, as well as two apartment buildings across the alley to the west. Technical Review: Section 9.410(5) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance requires that an application for a lot split be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission, which shall make findings and submit its recommendation to the City Council. Section 9.903 of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance regulates lot area, width, and yard requirements in the R-2 District, and Section 9.603 regulates accessory structures. Applicable requirements are as follows. Minimum lot size shall be 9,000 square feet for both twinhome lots or 4,500 for each twinhome lot - Parcel "A" will be 4,500 square feet and Parcel "B" will be 5,100 square feet, both of which meet minimum lot size requirements. Minimum lot width shall be 60 feet - Both parcels together are 60 feet wide, meeting requirements. Front yard shall be a minimum of 25 feet. However, staffis requiting this structure to be 50 feet fi:om the front yard property line, because the average front yard setback for adjacent structures is much greater than required by ordinance. The ordinance indicates that the required setback shall not be more than fifty (50) feet- The proposed twinhome structure on Parcel A and Parcel B will be 50 feet fi:om the front property line, in line with the structure to the south. Rear yard shall be 20% of lot depth - The proposed twinhome buildings on Parcel A and Parcel B will both meet this requirement. Side yards shall be at least five feet - The proposed twinhomes on Parcel A and Parcel B will meet all setbacks from side property lines, which exceed 5 feet. Detached accessory structures shall be at least 3 feet away fi:om side and rear property lines - The proposed detached garages for Parcel A and Parcel B which will face the alley, will be approximately 9 feet from side yard property lines, and will be set back 20 feet from the rear yard line. Any lot under 6,500 square feet may have a building lot coverage of up to 35% - the lot coverages on Parcel A and Parcel B will be right at 35%, so the proposal meets these requirements. Compliance with City Comprehensive Plan: The City Comprehensive Plan designates this area as future low-density residential development. Case: 2002-0908 Page: 3 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. This will be the third twinhome constructed in the City of Columbia Heights. 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.

Dorothy E. Mclnt~v r e, f ormerA $$ociate Director, Minne$ota Stat e High School L eague "Ov ercomlng Obstacles and Creating Solutions" Dorothy Mclntyre has been a pioneer in the movement toward gender equity in sports in the State of Minnesota and beyond. Mclntyre began creating competi- tive opportunities for her students in the 1960s and the spark was lit. In 1970, Mclntyre joined the League staff with a mission to assist schools as they developed their girls' athletic programs. Minnesota was one of the early states to provide girls sports, beginning with the MSHSL State Girls Track and Field Meet in 1972, the same year that Title IX was passed. Since the early '70s, fifteen (15) sports have been established, with Girls Lacrosse the most recent in 2001-02. Minnesota remains the only state in the country to sponsor girls' ice hockey, which has grown from 24 teams in 1995 to over 130 teams. Meeting and confronting challenges all the way, Mclntyre retires this year knowing that about 2.7 million high school girls participated in high school sports nationwide, with nearly 100,000 in Minnesota, But, Mclntyre will be the first to add, "There is still work to do before full equity exists for women in our society!'
