Nedegaard Construction
East of Central Avenue between 47th and 49th Avenues
REQUEST:
Final Plat - Grand Central Lofts Second Addition and Vacation of Drainage
and Utility Easement over Outlot B of Grand Central Lofts Plat
PREPARED BY:
Perry Thorvig, Consultant Planner
Introduction
Planner Thorvig stated that Nedegaard Construction has requested two approvals:
1. The final plat for the Grand Central Lofts Second Addition, including additional street right of
way, and
2. Vacation of a drainage and utility easement over Outlot B of the Grand Central Lofts plat.
The Second Addition plat contains 21 townhouse lots, a lot for the community center, and a
reconfigured Outlot B that contains common space for the development, including a storm water
retention pond. There is also additional land shown in the plat for an expanded Grand Avenue near 49th
Avenue. Part of the proposed Grand Avenue is on the Savers property. The final plat is consistent with
the preliminary plat. The drainage and utility easement proposed for vacation will be replaced by
another easement that will more adequately provide for the needs of the project.
Planning Considerations
1. The final plat must be substantially similar to the preliminary plat.
2. The City must find that the vacated drainage and utility easement is not needed for any public
purpose.

Findings of Fact
Final Plat
Section 9.412 (6) of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the City Council make each ofthe
following findings before approving a final plat:
1. The final plat substantially conforms to the approved preliminary plat.
The final plat does substantially conform to the approved preliminary plat. However, additional
land is included in the proposed final plat. In order to provide the necessary area to continue
Grand Avenue through to 4!1h Avenue, to provide the area necessary for landscaping and a
sidewalk as well as room to work during the construction, the developer has attempted to
acquire property from Savers. The area needed is currently a grassy area with conifer trees
used to buffer the parking lot from the residential property to the east. The acquisition of this
property would not result in the loss of any parking, as the area needed does not encroach into
the parking lot.
The developer has attempted to acquire this property but the landowner has not been willing to
cooperate. Consequently, on April 26, 2005, the developer did request, and the EDA agreed to
assist the developer in acquiring the necessary right of way using its power of eminent domain.
The process is underway and EDA is expected to own the property in October or November of
2005.
2. The proposed subdivision conforms to the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance.
The final plat conforms to the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance.
3. Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director/City Engineer had the following requirements/comments for
the final plan approval:
Gradim~/ErosionControl:
*The site grading shown is consistent with the first phase plans previously approved, however,
the City reserves the right to require additional erosion control measures during construction.
*Perimeter erosion control measures shall be installed and inspected by the City prior to major
grading activities beginning.
*Vehicle tracking offsite shall be the responsibility of the Development to clean as required by
the City.
Utilities:
*The sanitary sewer and water main shown are consistent with the first phase plans previously
approved.
*New utility connections and several disconnects within POW"s will be needed on 4ih and 49th
Avenues. The Contractor may apply for a single Work Within ROW from the Engineering
department for all connections and disconnects.
*All utilities shall meet the City of Columbia Heights specifications.
*The City shall inspect all work in the Public roadway for the utility connections to 49th Avenue.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES
PAGE 3
JUNE 7, 2005
*The Development shall provide the City of Columbia Heights with as-built drawings of all
newly constructed utilities, in both hardcopy and electronic (.dwg) format.
* Even though the plans for the storm water pond were changed for the second phase plat, it does
meet the requirements. The wet detention basin now planned actually provides an additional
reduction in the outflow from the pond as compared to the original infiltration trench, which is a
benefit to the downstream storm water system. The walking trail proposed in the original design
has now been removed due to the wet detention basin design. With the new pond design, I would
recommend the following:
1. Due to the sandy soils in the area, please indicate if a pond liner will be required
and how soon that will be accomplished.
2. The storm inlet area should be pulled back with a flatter, hydric vegetative area
incorporated at the NWL prior to entering the permanent pool area.
3. Provide a detail on the outlet device for the new pond design.
4. The site landscaping plan should be revised to address the types and method of
pond planting along with landscaping around the pool.
Streets:
*Please provide horizontal curve data on the Public Street and radii for the connections to the
public street.
* Please provide the City with a cory of Anoka County's acceptance of the work and County
Access Permit for the work on 49 Avenue.
* Please provide a copy of the County approved plans for the right turn lane and restriping on
49h Avenue.
General:
*The phase one Letter of Credit (LOC) currently expires at the end of the year. This should be
extended to at least 9/31/2006.
*The same requirements in the original Development Contract shall apply to the second phase.
Specifically, the Developer is limited to one 70 unit condo building and 4 townhome building
permits until work has been initiated on the:
1. Sanitary Sewer Reconstructionfrom 4ih to 51st Avenues, and
2. Right turn lane construction and lane restriping on 49th Avenue as required by
Anoka County.
Vacation of Prior Outlot B
This request is not the typical vacation of a street or alley right of way. The applicant is requesting that
the Outlot B in the original Grand Central Lofts plat be vacated and replaced by a new Outlot B. The
original Outlot B was established as a common lot for utility and drainage purposes. However, the
outlot, as originally described, did not allow for an adequate amount of back yard ownership after
building style revisions were made. The revised Outlot B drainage and utility easement will provide for
14' of individual back yard ownership.
No other property is affected by the vacation proposal.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES
PAGE 4
JUNE 7, 2005
The original Outlot B is not needed for any public purpose if a new Outlot B replaces it.
Staff recommends approval of the vacation.
Questions/Comments:
Szurek asked if the retaining wall that will be constructed between Savers and the Grand Ave road
extension will be the same type of boulder design. Nedegaard answered that it would be. However, he
will have to wait for the eminent domain proceedings to be completed before he can construct that wall
and the west Y2 of the roadway.
Thompson asked who designed the wall. Nedegaard stated, the wall was designed by a Structural
Engineer, and that it was approved by the Building Official.
There was some discussion regarding the change in the drainage pond and walkways. Nedegaard
explained that fountains were being added to the pond and a picnic area with fire pits were being added
near the Clubhouse. Due to these additions, there no longer was room for a walkway around the pond.
Peterson questioned whether the extension of Grand Ave to 49th Avenue was going to be neighbor
friendly. He is worried about headlights shining into the homes of the north side of 49th Avenue, and
about children walking to and from school along the sidewalk where Grand Avenue will intersect with
49th Avenue. He was assured that Grand A venue will come into 49th Avenue at a gradual slope and that
visibility will not be compromised.
Chair Szurek opened the Public Hearing for comments:
Richard Johnson 1052 49th Avenue asked about the orange construction fence located behind the
properties from 1040-1118 49th Avenue that was erected when they took out trees and stored dirt for the
construction thus far. Nedegaard told him the dirt will be hauled out shortly and that the rock wall and
landscaping will be carried through and tied into the current yards and elevations.
Motion by Peterson, second byFiorendino, That the Planning Commission recommend that the City
Council approve the final plat with the condition that the plat not be approved by the City for filing until
the legal proceeding to acquire the additional street right of way property from Savers has been
completed and ownership is transferred to the developer; and that the following conditions also be met:
Gradinl!/Erosion Control:
*The site grading shown is consistent with the first phase plans previously approved, however,
the City reserves the right to require additional erosion control measures during construction.
*Perimeter erosion control measures shall be installed and inspected by the City prior to major
grading activities beginning.
* Vehicle tracking offsite shall be the responsibility of the Development to clean as required by
the City.

Ryland Homes and Shafer Richardson
South side of Huset Park from Jefferson/Madison Street to 5th Street -
Industrial Park Redevelopment Area (Park View)
Preliminary Plat - Phase 1 and Site Plan
CASE NUMBER:
DATE:
APPLICANT:
LOCATION:
PREPARED BY:
Perry Thorvig, Consultant Planner
Introduction
Planner Thorvig explained that Ryland Homes and Shafer Richardson have requested two approvals:
1. The preliminary plat for the Phase 1 of the redevelopment of the industrial area south of Huset
Park, and
2. The site plan for Phase 1.
Phase 1 is part of a larger 28-acre redevelopment area that the developers are now calling Park View.
Phase 1 contains 123 dwelling units on approximately 11 acres of land (11.18 dwelling units/acre).
There are 46 two-story townhomes and 77 three-story carriage home units. Each unit has two parking
spaces in the building and two in the driveway. There are 51 additional parking spaces in parking bays
or on the private streets. There are no public streets proposed within the project.
The coop building has been eliminated in favor of carriage style townhomes.
Planning Considerations
1. A concept site plan was prepared in 2004 by the developer as part of the preliminary development
agreement entered into with the City. The concept plan was found to be compatible with the
provisions of the Transit Oriented Mixed-use Zoning District.
This zoning district calls for a flexible mix of uses with a minimum residential density of 12 units
per acre and a maximum density of 20 units per acre, unless otherwise approved by the City
Council. The concept site plan showed a density of less than 20 units per acre. The subject
property is located adjacent to a transit corridor (University Avenue NE) and will include a trail
connection linking the
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES
PAGE 7
JUNE 7, 2005
2. new residential and mixed-use neighborhood to and through Huset Park. The trail will be
constructed as part ofthe parkway along 39th Ave NE.
3. The City Staffhas prepared Design Guidelines to be applied to the redevelopment of the subject
property. These guidelines are directly based on the existing City Design Guidelines adopted in
2003. The guidelines include characteristics that are appropriate to the residential and mixed-use
character ofthe Industrial Park redevelopment area, and not those aimed at highway, strip or
suburban architecture and development.
4. The purpose of the Mixed-Use District is to promote efficient use of existing City infrastructure;
ensure sensitivity to surrounding neighborhoods, create linkages between compatible areas ofthe
City; provide appropriate transitions between uses; ensure high quality design and architecture;
create good pedestrian circulation and safety; promote alternative modes of transportation; and
increase the quality of life and community image of Columbia Heights. The proposed Industrial
Park redevelopment will be designed as a pedestrian friendly mixed-use project that will accomplish
these goals.
5. The Transit-Oriented Mixed-Use District requires that the mix ofland use include two or more of the
following uses: residential, commercial and industrial. The proposed Industrial Park redevelopment
will meet this requirement by including predominantly residential uses with some mixed-use
commerciaVresidential uses.
6. Though the concept plan was previously approved for this project, the detailed site plan and
preliminary plat must comply with the specific requirements of the zoning ordinance. Several
zoning compliance issues are discussed below.
Findings of Fact
Preliminary Plat
Section 9.411 (6) ofthe Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the City Council make each of the
following findings before approving a preliminary plat:
1. The proposed preliminary plat conforms to the requirements of Section 14 of this ordinance.
Section 14 of the ordinance only requires that the streets conform to the Comprehensive Plan by
allowing the continuation of the appropriate projection of principal streets and that the plat
conform to the neighborhood plan.
In Phase 1, there are no existing streets other than 39th Avenue and Jefferson Street/Madison
Street that must be preserved. Both Jefferson/Madison and 39th will be preserved, though
slightly realigned to form the parkway and traffic circle. No other streets go through the
property at the present time.
Industrial traffic will go around the project, not through it.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES
PAGE 8
JUNE 7, 2005
2. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan has been modified to Mixed-use in expectation of this kind of
development. Therefore, the project is consistent with the plan.
3. The proposed subdivision contains parcel and land subdivision layout that is consistent with good
planning and site engineering design principles.
The site layout does have some issues. They are as follows:
a) Ownership of the utilities not lvinf! within the right of wav of a public street. Kevin Hansen,
Public Works Director, believes that it would be beneficial that the City take ownership of all
the 8 inch water mains and sanitary sewer that is in any private street that is 22' or greater
in width. This is the accepted practice in similar developments in the city. The utilities
would be built according to City specifications and there will be no confusion as to who is
responsible for maintenance and repair. Therefore, the preliminary plat should be approved
with a condition that specifically states that the City will take ownership of the utilities
described above.
b) Spacing between buildings. No building will be closer than 25' to another building.
However, the distance from garage door to garage door across the private street is only
about 62feet. Two, 20' wide driveways (parking spaces) infront of the garage doors and a
22 foot wide private street occupy the 62-foot space between the garage doors.
These dimensions are less than what is normally required. For example, the
The Columbia Heights code requires a 24-foot wide access drive. Section 9.612 (7) reads as
follows:
"b) Access and Circulation. Exceptfor parking accessory to one and two
family dwellings, each required off-street parking space shall have direct
access to an aisle or driveway no less than 24 feet in width and designed to provide safe
and efficient means of vehicular access to and from the
parking space without using public right-of-way for maneuvering. "
Staff is recommending approval of the driveway and private street dimension. Staff has
worked with the applicant to minimize the amount of hard surface space on the site in favor
of more green space between or infront of the buildings. Therefore, staff, including the fire
department, is comfortable with the 20-foot driveways and 22' private streets in the project.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES
PAGE 9
JUNE 7, 2005
c) Amount of use able common aDen space. There is only one common open space area in
Phase 1 that is not directly in front of a townhome unit. That is the triangular space located
approximately in the left center of the site. It contains a pergola according to the site plan
and will serve as a passive open space area. It is about 20,500 sq. ft. in size. This is a fairly
small amount of common open space for the number of units it serves. However, this lack of
common open space on site is compensated by the presence of Huset Park. It provides for a
substantial amount of open space to offset the small amount on site. Therefore, the plan
should be acceptable with respect to common open space.
d) Sidewalk connections. All units should be connected by way of sidewalk to the city's
sidewalk system and the new parkway. Most of this project has the required
sidewalks. However, the two-story townhomes on the south side of the project do not
have them on their side of the street. This should not be a problem, however, because
there is an east-west sidewalkjust across the private street that should serve the
needs of pedestrians in the development.
e) Enflineering considerations. Kevin Hansen has reviewed the plat and found that there
are several technical changes typical with all plats that must be made in order to
assure that the utilities are installed properly and up to City and State requirements.
Several conditions of approval are included in the recommendation to address Mr.
Hansen's concerns.
Site Plan
Section 9.413 (4) of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the Planning
Commission make sure each of the following findings are met before approving a site plan:
a) The site plan conforms to all applicable requirements ofthe Ordinance.
The Phase 1 site plan is consistent with the ordinance except for the following:
1. Internal street access drive widths are less than 24 feet in most of the project. However, as
explained above, this should not be an issue in this development.
2. Ornamental trees must be 2" not 1.5' as proposed.
b) The site plan is consistent with the applicable provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
The project is consistent with the general direction established in the Comprehensive Plan
c) The site plan is consistent with any applicable area plan.
A concept plan for the area has been accepted by the city and Design Guidelines have been
adopted. A shortened list of the Design Standards is attached. Staff has found the project to be
in substantial compliance with the standards. However, some discussion of various issues is
needed.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES
PAGE 10
JUNE 7, 2005
1. Buildings are 15 to 35 feet from the sidewalk along the new parkway. Some of the buildings
may be a little farther from the street than the standards suggest (20 feet maximum).
However, the spirit of the ordinance is certainly met by fronting units on the street with
garages hidden to the rear of the buildings.
2. The density of 11.18 dwelling units per acre in this phase is slightly below the 12 D V/ A
minimum required for the Park View area. The density will be greater in Phases 1 and 3 to
compensate for the lower density in Phase 1.
3. The exterior materials proposed for the project are vinyl, brick, and cultured stone. The
developer has submitted drawings that show that the entire end wall of selected units will be
entirely brick. In addition, the three-story buildings with seven or more units will have 3
units that have brick faces. The other three-story buildings will have 2 units that have brick
faces. The two story units will have cultured stone to a height of about four feet above grade.
The rear sides of all the buildings will be heavy gauge vinyl siding.
d) The site plan minimizes any adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and the public
right-of-way.
The two-story townhouses on the south edge of Phase 1 have their back yards adjoining the back
yards of single-family homes. However, there is a heavily landscaped buffer consisting of
evergreen and deciduous trees proposed in the plan. The buffer should be enough to minimize
any adverse impacts on the residential neighbors.
Conclusion
The site plan is acceptable provided the ornamental tree diameters are 2" as required by ordinance and
the brick facades are built as proposed by the developer.
The subdivision plat needs to reflect any site plan changes resulting from the comments above.
Assuming those issues can be resolved, the preliminary plat can be approved. It is expected that the
final plat will need to be modified a bit between the time the preliminary plat is approved and the final
plat is submitted for approval.
Questions/comments:
There was a discussion regarding the placement of the sidewalks on the south side ofthe development as
shown on the drawings. Various comments were made as to the advantages or disadvantages of locating
them on one side of the street and not the other.
Thompson asked if the units shared driveway space, or if there was some type of small division between
them. He was told they are divided for each unit. He then asked if parking would be allowed on the
streets since they will only be 22 ft wide. These interior, 22 ft wide streets will be "no parking" zones.
He then asked about the materials that will be used for storm sewers. Brian Sullivan from Ryland
homes stated all utilities will be designed and installed with approved materials meeting the City's
requirements.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES
PAGE 11
JUNE 7, 2005
Brian Sullivan stated that the Homeowner's Association will be responsible for the maintenance of the
storm sewers, the retaining walls, landscaping, lawn care, trees, and the interior streets. The retention
pond will be added during Phase II. Schmitt stated she would like to see a walkway around the pond.
Schmitt questioned whether transit stops would be added to this area since the zoning was changed to
Transit Oriented. Planner Thorvig explained that additional transit stops would not be added. The re-
zoning which includes the high density housing needs only to be near existing transit stops such as the
ones at 37th Avenue and 40th Avenue.
Mr. Sullivan reviewed the various styles of housing that will be constructed in this phase. The
"Georgetown-Carriage style townhomes" are designed as pedestrian friendly, placed near the sidewalks
with garages and services at the rear of each unit. They will have various facades with staggering fronts
to help create the look of diverse individual units. The 3 bedroom units will have approx. 1,600 sf
1,950 sf and will be priced in the low $200,000 to around $260,000.
The two story townhomes will feature two bedrooms and an optional loft area with vinyl siding and
stone trim. They will have 1,600 sf - 1,800 sf and be priced in the $180,000 range.
Fiorendino asked whether retail space was still being planned in the redevelopment area. Ryland
representatives stated that yes, it is still part ofthe plans, but in a future phase.
Schmitt asked what streets were going to be maintained by the City in this phase. The developers stated
that the newly designed parkway would be the only street in the phase to be considered a "city" street.
Public Hearing opened for comments:
No one in the audience had any comments.
Motion by Fiorendino, seconded by Peterson, That the Planning Commission approve the site plan
based on the follOWing conditions:
1. Ornamental tree diameters must be specified at 2 inches.
2. The brick facades are built as shown in the attached exhibits.
3.
AND FURTHER
That the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the preliminary plat based on
follOWing conditions of approval that have been found to be necessary to protect the public interest and
ensure compliance with the provisions of the Zoning and Development Ordinance, including:
1. The development agreement must reflect an agreement between the City and the developer on
what utilities and streets within the project will be the City's long-term maintenance and repair
responsibilities.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES
PAGE 12
JUNE 7, 2005
2. The Common Interest Community documents clearly state the responsibilities of the City and
homeowners association related to streets and utilities.
3. The Plat should identify the name of the proposed development.
4. All vacations (by the City) should occur concurrent or prior to the final plat approval (by phase)
by the City Council.
5. The Street names must be included on the final plat and follow 'Street' for North-South and
'Avenue' for East- West.
6. All construction traffic must be controlled and shall be directed through the vehicle tracking
pads, as indicated on the SWPPP plan. Due to the traffic volume on Jefferson Street,frequent
street cleaning may be necessary.
7. All erosion control measures shall be installed and inspected by the City prior to any site
activities beginning.
8. In areas of concentratedflow or where slopes exceed 3:1, silt fence shall be heavy duty (wire
backed).
9. Under Erosion Control Notes, note 10, the 14-day requirement is a maximum for restoration as
described.
10. Due to the Public construction of Huset Parkway and related timing/schedule, other erosion
control devices may be necessary. A temporary sedimentation pond (or other approved means)
shall be utilized until the offsite ponding is completed.
11. Wherever any of the proposed retaining walls exceeds four feet in height, the final plans shall
include a wall designed by a registered engineer. The wall shall also have protective fencing at
the top where the vertical height exceeds 48 inches.
12. Any site grading prior to final plat approval will require an excavation permit, obtained from the
Engineering department.
13. An NPDES permit will be required, at the time of construction. Additional erosion control
measures along the southerly property line (at 5th and 38th Streets) are recommended, due to
the slope of the adjoining property. The City also reserves the right to require additional erosion
control measures during construction, as conditions warrant.

Columbia Heights Planning Commission
Cornerstone Commercial, representing Advance Auto Parts
4545 Central Avenue (Mr. Steak site)
Site and Building Plan Approval
PREPARED BY:
Perry Thorvig, Consultant Planner and Patrick Smith, AICP, Senior
Planner
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES

JUNE 7, 2005
Introduction
Planner Thorvig said that Cornerstone Commercial, representing Advance Auto Parts, is applying for
building and site plan approval for a 7,000 square foot Advance Auto Parts store at 4545 Central Ave.
NE, the former Mr. Steak property. The applicant proposes to remove the Mr. Steak building and
construct a new building on the south side of the site. New maps were passed out at the meeting
showing a new design for the parking lot for 33 parking spaces is proposed north of the building. Robert
Wolff is the property owner and has consented to the application.
Planning Considerations
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan designation of the site is Commercial Development. Some of the Plan's goals
and policies for commercial areas are as follows:
· Enhance the image and viability of the Central Avenue corridor, while protecting and enhancing
adjacent residential uses.
· Improve the image of commercial areas as friendly and safe environments for resident and
visitors by supporting redevelopment and e.nhancement efforts that strengthen commercial areas,
create a unified image, and provide pedestrian linkages to neighborhoods.
Zoning Ordinance
The zoning classification for the property is General Business and Highway District Overlay. The
purpose of the General Business District is to provide appropriate locations for general retail sales,
services and other commercial developments that benefit from their proximity to other commercial uses.
These areas are located away from residential neighborhoods, along arterial roadways and are
accessible primarily by automobile. The overlay district provides design standards that assure quality
building appearance.
Circulation, Access, Parking and Sidewalks
Circulation through the site was changed slightly with the new design. This design was done at the
request of the Corporate Office of Advance Auto Products. It not only allows for easier access to the
loading areas and trash removal, but also closer access for customers to the store. With this new
design, more shrubs have been added to the parking lot area. Both of the entrances have shifted
slightly. The 46th Avenue access has been shifted as far to the east as possible to provide a greater
distance from the intersection at Central Avenue. The access from Central Avenue has been shifted
approximately 15 feet to the north. The access will be right-in only access from Central Avenue and a
full access from 46th Avenue. Staff has submitted plans to MnDOT for their review, and a response is
expected before the Planning Commission meeting.
The parking requirement for commercial buildings of this size is 23 stalls, and Advance Auto is
providing 31 stalls plus 2 handicap accessible stalls, for a total of 33 parking spaces.

**These figures were changed with the change to the parking lot layout, but they still meet the
requirements.
Landscape Plan
The Developer has submitted a Landscape Plan in accordance with the requirements for site plans in
the Zoning Ordinance. The Landscape Plan is well done and consistent both with the Zoning Ordinance
and with the Highway District Design Guidelines.
Sign age Plan
The proposal contains building wall signs and a freestanding pylon sign.
There will be two wall signs on the north and west facades. They are each approximately 3'x45' and
13 5 sq. ft. in area.
The pylon sign is 25 feet tall on a 20-foot tall steel pole. The sign dimensions are 5' by 15' (75 sq. ft.).
It is located on the northwest comer of the property.
The design guidelines encourage monument signs rather than pylons. Landscaping is also encouraged
around the base. The base of the sign is not landscaped as proposed.
Highway District Design Guidelines
The Columbia Heights Design Guidelines were created to guide developers and businesses in the design
of expansions, renovations or new construction of buildings or parking within the Central Avenue and
40th Avenue commercial corridors, and to assist City officials and staff in reviewing development
proposals. The City may permit alternative approaches that meet the objectives of the design guidelines.
The design district that is applied to the Advance Auto Parts' development is the Highway District.
Architectural Guidelines
1) Building Placement Objective: To orient non-residential buildings toward the street in order to
improve its walkability, while creating opportunities for more internally-focused residential
development. Front facades should be well defined with entrances facing the street. Buildings may
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES
PAGE 17
JUNE 7, 2005
be set back a maximum of 85 ft. from the sidewalk in order to allow for parking plus landscape frontage.
The development meets the intent of this objective. Having the entrance adjacent to the sidewalk
along Central Avenue creates a pedestrian friendly development. The building is set back five feet
from the west property line (adjacent to Central Avenue), which helps add to the urban character
of the redevelopment area created by the Grand Central Lofts development.
2) Primary Fac;ades and Roof Treatment Objective: To encourage attached residential and mixed-use
buildings that are compatible with the prevailing single-family residential surroundings.
Nonresidential buildings may be designed with pitched or flat roofs. The base or ground floor of
the building should include elements that relate to the human scale, including texture, projections,
doors and windows, awnings, canopies or ornamentation.
The development meets this objective. The building has a flat roof and the entries, windows,
canopies and lighting relate to human scale.
3) Building Width and Fac;ade Articulation Objective: To add visual interest and variety to buildings
and emphasize the pedestrian scale. The primary fac;ades of buildings should be 40 ft. or more in
width and should be articulated into smaller increments by following methods listed in the Design
Guidelines to lessen apparent bulk.
The development meets this objective. The Central Avenue fa9ade is articulated in several
ways. The area occupied by the wall sign band protrudes out from the face of the building
and above the parapet of the rest of the building. There are three vertical columns of face
brick that divides the rockface blockfrom the corners and glass windows. About 40% of the
front fa9ade contains clear glass windows.
4) Building Height Objective: To create increased sense of enclosure, diminish the perceived width of
the street, and provide opportunities for upper-story housing, offices or studios. Two and three
story buildings are strongly encouraged. All buildings shall have a minimum cornice height of 22
ft. This height is adequate to achieve the building height objective, conveying a multi-story
appearance even if the building has only one occupied floor.
This building meets the objective. It is within five feet of the street property line and is 22 '
tall at the top of the sign band portion of the front fa9ade.
Transparency - Window and Door Openings Objective: To reflect the character of existing storefront
commercial buildings, enliven the streetscape and enhance security by providing views into and out of
buildings. Where commercial or office uses are found on the ground floor, at least 20 percent of the
ground floor fac;ade fronting Central Avenue and 15 percent of any two sides or
5) rear facades shall consist of window and door openings. The design guidelines note that spandrel
glass may be used in up to half ofthe window and door surfaces on any building facade.
This objective is met. About 40% of the length of the front fa9ade is occupied by glass. There is
also glass on the north side that appears to meet the 15% requirement.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES
PAGE 18
JUNE 7, 2005
6) Entries Objective: To establish the visual importance of the primary street entrance, and to ensure
that entries contribute to the visual attractiveness of the building and are readily visible to the
customer. Primary building entrances should face the primary abutting public street or walkway or
be linked to that street by a clearly defined and visible walkway. Comer buildings shall use the
street with the higher classification as the primary entrance.
The proposed building meets this objective. The primary entrance is at the corner of the
building andfaces Central Avenue. Additionally, the main entrance is visible and accessible
from Central Avenue.
7) Rear Fa~ade and Entries Objective: To improve the appearance of rear fa~ades, orient customers
parking or walking to the rear of buildings, and provide safe and convenient access to all building
entrances.
Each of the faryades of the proposed buildings is designed to the same high standard and meets this
requirement. There is no rear entry.
8) Building Materials Objective: To ensure that high-quality, durable and authentic building materials
are used in residential and nonresidential construction. All buildings should be constructed of high-
quality materials, including the following: brick; natural stone; precast concrete units and concrete
block, provided that the surfaces are molded, serrated or treated with a textured material in order to
give the wall surface a three-dimensional character; stucco; jumbo brick may be used on up to 30
percent of any fa~ade, provided that it is used only on the lower third of the building wall. EIFS
may be used as a primary material at a height of at least 3 ft. above grade, limited to a maximum of
60 percent of the fa~ade when fronting a public street.
The building materials are split faced concrete and EIFS materials specified by the
requirement above. The EIFS is used only on the elevated part of the faryade behind the sign
band. It does not exceed the 60% limit.
9) Rooftop Equipment Objective: To ensure that views of rooftop equipment from public streets or
pedestrian ways are minimized. All rooftop equipment shall be screened from view from adjacent
streets, public rights-of-way and adjacent properties. Preferably, rooftop equipment should be
screened by the building parapet, or should be located out of view from the ground.
The elevations submitted by the applicant do not show rooftop equipment. However, this
does not mean that there will not be any of this kind of equipment. Staff will make sure that
the construction plans comply with this standard.
9) Building Colors Objective: To ensure that building colors are aesthetically pleasing and
compatible with their surroundings. Building colors should accent, blend with, or complement
surroundings. Principal building colors should consist of subtle, neutral or muted colors with
low reflectance. Warm-toned colors are encouraged. No more than two principal colors may be
used on a fal;:ade. Bright or primary colors should be used only as accents, occupying a
maximum of 15 percent of building fal;:ades.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES
PAGE 19
JUNE 7, 2005
It was not known what colors would be used However, Mr. Paul Bera, brought samples of
the materials and colors that will be used on the building to the meeting to show
commissioners.
11) Architectural Detailing Objective: To encourage new building design that echoes the design of the
few iconic buildings that remain in Columbia Heights - notably the Heights Theater - while
enlivening building fayades and contributing to a human-scaled environment. Architectural details
such as ornamental cornices, arched windows and warm-toned brick with bands of contrasting color
are encouraged in new construction. The contemporary adaptation of historic and vernacular
residential, institutional and commercial styles found in Columbia Heights and in Northeast
Minneapolis is encouraged.
The extended upper part of the fat;ade containing the sign band is reminiscent of the awnings that used
to protrude from main street types of buildings. The warm-toned brick proposed for the building
meets the requirements of this objective.
12) Awnings Objective: To encourage the use of awnings as a way to shelter customers, reduce glare
and conserve energy, and provide additional accent color to building fayades. Where awnings are
desired, canvas or fabric should be used, rather than wood or metal.
The building does not have functional awnings. However, the sign band part of the building
is reminiscent of the awning detail in older buildings.
13) Parking Location Objective: To improve the appearance and convenience of parking lot circulation
for vehicles and pedestrians by breaking the parking area up into smaller units. No more than 50
percent of the off-street parking area for the entire site shall be located between the front fayade of
the building and primary abutting street. Internal accessways with landscaping and sidewalks are
encouraged.
The parking location meets this intent. No parking spaces are located between the front
facade and Central Avenue. Although the amount of parking exceeds City Code, the
applicant wants to provide increased parking based upon their market needs. However, this
parking area is buffered with landscaping and a 3-foot ornamental fence. Finally, the
parking lot includes landscaped islands.
14) Parking Area Screening Objective: To soften the appearance of parking areas when viewed from
an abutting street or sidewalk and to screen parking areas from residential yards.
The site plan meets this intent. A 6-foot high wood fence will be constructed on the east side
of the site, screening the residential property to the east from the parking lot and loading
area. Moreover, the parking lot will be soften by the proposed 3-foot high ornamental fence
and landscaping.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES
PAGE 20
JUNE 7, 2005
15) Placement and Screening of Service, Loading and Storage Areas Objective: To screen views of
service and loading areas, and to ensure that the noise impacts of these functions are fully contained
and not audible from surrounding streets and properties. Screening must be provided in accordance
with the Zoning Ordinance. Loading docks, truck parking, trash collection and other service
functions shall be incorporated into the design of the building or screened with walls of similar
design and materials to the principal building, combined with landscape material to create a screen
at least six feet in height.
The site plan for the development illustrates that these requirements are met. The loading
area is located in the southeast corner of the site, between the 6-foot fence and the building.
The area will be screened from the residents to the east by the 6-foot wood fence, and the
building will screen the loading areafrom Central Avenue.
16) Pedestrian and Bicycle Access Objective: To ensure that pedestrians and bicyclists have safe and
convenient access to all business establishments. Walkways should be at least 5 ft. in width and
shall be landscaped for at least 50 percent oftheir length.
The site plan meets this objective.
17) Signs Objective: Signs should be architecturally compatible with the style, composition, materials,
colors and details of the buildings and with other signs on nearby buildings. Signs should be an
integral part of the building design. Signs should have no more than three colors unless part of an
illustration. Monument signs are encouraged with landscaping around the base ofthe sign.
The wall sie:ns meet the desie:n e:uidelines. however they are too lare:e. The pylon sie:n does not
There should be a base to the sie:n that includes the same brick material used on the buildine:. The
brick base should be at least three feet hie:h and as wide as the sie:n. The site plan should be
modified to show landscapine: around the sil!:J1 base.
18) Lighting Objective: To ensure that safe and attractive lighting levels are provided around all
buildings and parking areas, without excessive glare or brightness. Exterior lighting should be the
minimum necessary for safety and security. Lighting should be designed to coordinate with
building architecture and landscaping. Building mounted fixtures compatible with building fas:ades
are encouraged.
· The Developer has submitted a site lighting plan that shows lighting meets the requirements of
City Code for glare.
· The building mounted fixtures are compatible with the building far;ade.
Staff recommends approval with the conditions noted.
Questions/comments:
Peterson commented that since the parking lot layout was chan~ed, the setbacks were also changed
which allowed for less green space along Central Avenue and 46t Avenue. He was disappointed that
this change had been made, and encouraged them to allow for more greenery.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES

JUNE 7, 2005
Fiorendino asked for details on the fencing along the east side of the property on top of the retaining
wall.
Thompson questioned whether the present sewer line is to be abandoned and what it will be replaced
with. Planner Thorvig stated all of that is addressed by staff during the building permitting process.
There was much discussion regarding the proposed pylon sign. The commission members agreed that
even though it met the requirements, they would prefer to see a monument sign on Central Ave and not
as high as the proposed pylon sign. The developer was also told he had to reduce the wall signage to
200 sf per City requirements. The developer agreed to change the pylon sign to a monument sign no
more than 15 ft high that will be located out of the standard triangle of visibility.
Public Hearing Opened for comments:
No one wished to comment.
Motion by Peterson, seconded by Thompson, That the Planning Commission approve the site plan based
on the following conditions, and that the building permits will not be issued until the changes are
officially submitted:
1. Color detail is submitted that meets the design criteria for the exterior of the building.
2. Sign colors are complimentary with the building colors and Central Avenue.
3. The wall signage will be reducedfrom 270 sf to 200 sf
4. The corner sign will be a monument sign no more than 15 ft in height and will not be placed
in the standard site triangle.
5. The sign base be landscaped
6. To minimize vehicle tracking, all construction traffic shall be directed through the vehicle
tracking pads, as indicated on the plan. Due to the traffic volume on 46th Avenue, frequent
street cleaning may be necessary.
7. All erosion control measures shall be installed and inspected by the City prior to any site
activities beginning.
8. All restoration of turf areas in the Public Right of Way shall be by 4 inches of
topsoil/sodding.

Lot Split
Jennifer Haskamp, Planner
Introduction
Badreddin Alnizami, the property owner of 134844 1/2 Avenue NE, has made an application to
subdivide the current lot into 3 lots: A, B, and C, where lot A would have the existing duplex
(1348 and 1350). The current lot has approximately 33,172 square feet, and is zoned R-2. The
applicant would like to create two new lots on which a single family home or a twin home could
be constructed provided adequate soil conditions and lot size requirements are met. The
Applicant should be aware of the outstanding moratorium on the construction of twin homes that
would prevent either of the created lots to have a twin home constructed. The lots could be
developed for single-family attached homes given current zoning regulations. The moratorium
expires on December 5, 2005.
Planning Considerations
Consistency with Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as low-density residential emphasizing single-
family detached and attached homes. The City would like to encourage redevelopment of
vacant parcels into low-density residential uses to strengthen existing neighborhoods. The
proposed lot split would allow for the construction of single family or a twin home on each of the
lots, and the proposed development is consistent with the City of Columbia Heights
Comprehensive Plan.
Consistency with Zoning Ordinance
The lot at 1348 44 }s Avenue NE is zoned R-2 One and Two Family Residential and is
surrounded on all sides by properties zoned R-2.
The lot split meets all of the lot area, lot frontage and lot coverage requirements for the R-2
Zoning District. Section 9.903 of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance regulates lot area,
setback, height and lot frontage (lot width) requirements; and Section 9.603 regulates accessory
structures and lot coverage. Applicable requirements are as follows:
City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission
1348 & 1350 44 V2 Ave. NE
June 23, 2005
Case # 2005-0701
Lot Size
Minimum lot size shall be 6,500 sq. ft. for a single family home and 9,000 sq. ft. for a twin home.
Currently, the lot at 1348 44 ~ Avenue NE contains approximately 33,172 square feet. The
proposed lot split will create three lots called lot A, lot B, and lot C. The existing duplex is
located on lot A and will be approximately 9,000 square feet. Proposed lot B will be
approximately 10,000 square feet, and proposed lot C will be approximately 13,500 square feet.
The materials submitted for review did not calucate the square footage on each of the proposed
lots, so exact areas of the proposed lots is not known. Prior to approval of the subdivision, the
applicant should submit the calculated areas for each of the proposed lots on a certificate of
survey. Based on the information submitted, it appears that all three of the lots have adequate
lot area for construction of either a twin home or a single-family home that would comply with
the zoning ordinance.
Lot Width
Minimum lot width shall be 60 feet. Lot A will have approximately 80 feet of frontage, lot B will
have 73 feet of frontage, and lot C will have 110 feet of frontage. All three lots, as proposed,
meet the lot width requirements stated in the Zoning Ordinance.
Setbacks
Yard setbacks shall be as follows: Front yard - 25 ft; side yard - 5 ft.; rear yard - 20% of lot
depth; detached accessory structures - 3 ft. from side and rear property lines. The existing
duplex is outside of all required setbacks and will continue to be after the lot split. Any new
structures that may be built subsequent to the lot split must also meet these requirements.
Lots greater than 6,500 sq. ft. in area have maximum lot coverage of 30 percent. Currently, the
lot at 1348 44 ~ Avenue NE has a lot coverage of 5 percent. After the proposed lot split lot
coverage on lot A will be approximately 19 percent. Any new structures constructed subsequent
to the lot split must meet the lot coverage requirement.
Park Dedication
The applicant is required to pay a park dedication fee is the amount of $5,452 for the two
created lots. The park dedication fee must be paid upon final approval of the lot split.
Findings of Fact
The lot at 1348 44 ~ Avenue NE is zoned R-2 One and Two Family Residential and is
surrounded on all sides by properties zoned R-2.
The lot split meets all of the lot area, setback, frontage and lot coverage requirements for the R-
2 Zoning District. Section 9.903 of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance regulates lot area,
setback, height and lot coverage requirements and Section 9.603 regulates accessory
structures and lot coverage requirements. Applicable requirements are as follows:
· Minimum lot size shall be 6,500 sq. ft. for a single family home and 9,000 square feet for
a twin home. Currently, the lot at 134844 Y:2 Avenue NE contains approximately 33,172
square feet. After the proposed lot split, lot A will contain approximately 9,000 square
feet, lot B will contain approximately 10,000 square feet, and lot C will contain
approximately 13,500 square feet. Lot A must have a minimum of 9,000 square feet to
comply with the zoning ordinance. The lot areas should be verified and calculated prior
to approval of the subdivision. However, based on the materials submitted each of the
areas appear to meet the minimum lot areas.

1348 & 1350 44 Vz Ave. NE
June 23, 2005
Case # 2005-0701
· Minimum lot width shall be 60 feet for all of the proposed lots. After the lot split, lot A
has approximately 80 feet of frontage, lot B has 75 feet of frontage and lot C has 110
feet of frontage. All of the lots as proposed meet or exceed the lot width requirements.
· Yard setbacks shall be as follows: Front yard - 25 ft; side yard - 5 ft.; rear yard - 20%
of lot depth; detached accessory structures - 3 ft. from side and rear property lines. All
of the setbacks of the existing duplex will continue to meet these requirements. Any new
structures constructed subsequent to the lot split must also meet these requirements.
· Lots greater than 6,500 sq. ft. in area may have a lot coverage of up to 30 percent:
Currently, the lot at 10104:3 % Avenue NE has a lot coverage of 5 percent. After the
proposed lot split, lot A will have a lot coverage of 19 percent. Any new structures
constructed subsequent to the lot split must also meet the lot coverage requirement.
· A park dedication fee in the amount of $5,452 at final approval of the lot split.
Recommendation
Staff finds that the proposed lot split is consistent with the City of Columbia Heights
Comprehensive Plan and meets the regulations stated in the Zoning Ordinance for the R-2
district. Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve
the lot split conditioned on:
· That the applicant pays the park dedication fee in the amount of $5,452.

DESCRIPTION
CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
PLANNING REPORT
CASE NUMBER:
2005-0702
DATE:
July 6, 2005
TO:
Columbia Heights Planning Commission
APPLICANT:
LOCATION:
Ryland/Shafer Richardson
1. Part of 39th Avenue NE east of 5th St. NE
2. 38th Avenue NE from University Avenue to 5th St. NE
3. Part of Lookout Place and part of an adjacent alley
REQUEST:
Vacation of the above streets and alley
PREPARED BY:
Perry Thorvig, Consultant Planner and Patrick Smith, AICP,
Senior Planner
INTRODUCTION
The implementation of the master plan for the Park View project requires the assembly
of property in several blocks. Once assembled, the new development will encompass
the several blocks and extend across some existing streets. Those street and alley
rights of way must be officially vacated by the City of Columbia Heights before
construction can begin.
BACKGROUND
This is a request from the Shafer-Richardson development team to vacate the following:
1. Part of 39th Avenue NE east of 5th St. NE
2. 38th Avenue NE from University Avenue to 5th St. NE
3. Part of Lookout Place and part of an adjacent alley
The vacations are necessary for the orderly and efficient development of the Park View
housing development.
ANALYSIS
The surrounding property to the south of this project is industrial and residential.
University Avenue forms the west border. Huset Park is to the east of part of the
development and north of part of the development.
City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission
Park View Area Street and Alley Vacations
July 6, 2005
Case # 2005-0702
All of the vacated streets will be incorporated into the 28-acre redevelopment site. The
accompanying map shows where the vacated streets are located with respect to the
development that is expected to be built on top of them.
There are no utilities that have to be preserved in the respective rights of way.
Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director, has reviewed the vacation requests and
recommends approval.
No one has objected to the proposed vacations.
CONCLUSION
The street and alley sections that are proposed for vacation are no longer needed for
any public purpose and no one has objected to the vacations.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission approve the proposed street and alley vacation
requests.

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
PLANNING REPORT
CASE NUMBER: 2005-0703
DATE: July 6, 2005
TO: Columbia Heights Planning Commission
APPLICANT: Shafer-Richardson
LOCATION: West side of Huset Park between 5th St. N.E. and University
Avenue (Park View)
REQUEST: Phase 2 Preliminary Plat and Site Plan
PREPARED BY: Perry Thorvig, Consultant Planner
Introduction
Shafer-Richardson has requested two approvals:
1. The preliminary plat for the Phase 2 of the redevelopment of the industrial area
west of Huset Park, and
2. The site plan for Phase 2.
Phase 2 contains 12.8 acres. It is part of a larger 28-acre redevelopment area known
as Park View. Phase 1 was reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by
the City Council in June of 2005. There are 5 two-story townhomes and 17 three-story
carriage home buildings. There are 40 units in the two-story townhomes and 118 units
in the three-story carriage homes. Each unit has two parking spaces in the building and
two in the driveway. There are 87 additional parking spaces in parking bays or on the
private streets in Phase 2. .. ;
Planning Considerations
".
1. A concept site plan was pJepared in 2004 by the developer as part of the preliminary
development agreement entered into with the City. The concept plan was found to
be compatible with the provisions <?,! the Transit Oriented Mixed-use Zoning District.
2. This zoning district calls for a flexible mix of uses with a minimum residential density
of 12 units per acre and a maximum density of 20 units per acre, unless otherwise
approved by the City Council. The concept site plan showed a density of less than
City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission
Huset Park Preliminary Plat and Phase 2 Site Plan
July 6, 2005
Case # 2005-0703
20 units per acre. The subject property is located adjacent to a transit corridor
(University Avenue NE) and will include a trail connection linking the new residential
and mixed-use neighborhood to and through Huset Park. The trail will be
constructed as part of the parkway along 39th Ave NE.
3. The City Staff has prepared Design Guidelines to be applied to the redevelopment
of the subject property. These guidelines are directly based on the existing City
Design Guidelines adopted in 2003. The guidelines include characteristics that are
appropriate to the residential and mixed-use character of the Industrial Park
redevelopment area, and not those aimed at highway, strip or suburban architecture
and development.
4. The purpose of the Mixed-Use District is to promote efficient use of existing City
infrastructure; ensure sensitivity to surrounding neighborhoods, create linkages
between compatible areas of the City; provide appropriate transitions between uses;
ensure high quality design and architecture; create good pedestrian circulation and
safety; promote alternative modes of transportation; and increase the qualitY of life
and community image of Columbia Heights. The proposed Industrial Park
redevelopment will be designed as a pedestrian friendly mixed-use project that will
accomplish these goals.
5. The Transit-Oriented Mixed-Use District requires that the mix of land use include
two or more of the following uses: residential, commercial and industrial. The
proposed Industrial Park redevelopment will meet this requirement by including
predominantly residential uses with some mixed-use commercial/residential uses.
6. Though the concept plan was previously approved for this project, the detailed site
plan and preliminary plat must comply with the specific requirements of the zoning
ordinance. Several zoning compliance issues are discussed below.
Findings of Fact
Preliminary Plat
Section 9.411 (6) of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the City Council
make each of the following findings before approving a preliminary plat:
1. The proposed preliminary plat conforms to the requirements of Section 14 of this
ordinance.
Section 14 of the ordinance only requires that the streets conform to the
Comprehensive Plan by allowing the continuation of the appropriate projection of
principal streets and that the plat conform to the neighborhood plan.
In Phase 2, there are no existing streets other than the University A venue
frontage road, 3dh A venue and Lookout Place. Street vacations are being
Page 2

Huset Park Preliminary Plat and Phase 2 Site Plan
July 6, 2005
Case # 2005-0703
proposed for 3Efh Street and part of Lookout Place. Part of the University
A venue frontage road also needs to be vacated to accommodate the new plat.
Because of the unique location, these streets can be vacated without disruption
of the grid pattern that will adversely affect the area.
2. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan has been modified to Mixed-Use Transit Oriented
Development in expecta(ion of this kind of development. Therefore, the project
is consistent with the plan.
3. The proposed subdivision contains parcel and land subdivision layout that is
consistent with good planning and site engineering design principles.
The site layout has some of the same issues as Phase 1. They are as follows:
a) OwnershiD of the utilities not Ivino within the rioht of way of a Dublic street.
Kevin Hanson, Public Works Director, believes that it would be beneficial that
the City take ownership of all the 8 inch water mains and sanitary sewer that
is in any private street that is 22' or greater in width. This is the accepted
practice in similar developments in the city. The utilities would be built
according to City specifications and there will be no confusion as to who is
responsible for maintenance and repair. Therefore, the preliminary plat
should be approved with a condition that specifically states that the City will
take ownership of the utilities described above and be responsible for repairs.
b) SDacina between buildinas. No building will be closer than 25' to another
building. However, the distance from garage door to garage door across the
private street is only about 62 feet. Two, 20' wide driveways (parking spaces)
in front of the garage doors and a 22 foot wide private street occupy the 62-
foot space between the garage doors.
These dimensions are less than what is normally required. For example, the
The Columbia Heights code requires a 24-foot wide access drive. Section
9.612 (7) reads as follows:
"b) Access and Circulation. Except for parking accessory to one and two
family dwellings, each required off-street parking space shall have direct
access to an aisle or driveway no less than 24 feet in width and designed
to provide safe and efficient means of vehicular access to and from the
parking space without using public right-of-way for maneuvering. n
Staff is recommending approval of the driveway and private street dimension.
Staff has worked with the applicant to minimize the amount of hard surface
space on the site in favor of more green space between or in front of the
Page 3

Huset Park Preliminary Plat and Phase 2 Site Plan
July 6, 2005
Case # 2005-0703
buildings. Therefore, staff, including the fire department, is comfortable with
the 20-foot driveways and 22' private streets in the project.
c) Sidewalk connections.' All units should be connected by way of
sidewalk to the city's sidewalk system and the new parkway. Most of
this project has the required sidewalks. Only the two-story units just
off of the Lookout Place extension appear to have no sidewalks. This
is the same situation as in Phase 1. This should not be a problem,
however, because there are sidewalks just across the private street
that should serve the needs of pedestrians in the development and
provide access to Huset Park. The north-south sidewalk that runs
mid-block between the buildings should be continued in the block
containing the two-story units. It should intersect with a meandering
trail that runs east to west between the two-story units. A tot lot should
be created at the intersection of the trail and sidewalk.
d) Enaineerina considerations. Kevin Hansen has reviewed the plat and
found that there are several technical changes typical with all plats that
must be made in order to assure that the utilities are installed properly
and up to City and State requirements. Several conditions of approval
are included in the recommendation to address Mr. Hansen's
concerns. There is also the need to make sure that University A venue,
3fih Avenue, and Lookout Place are vacated and the MnDOT has
rescinded their need for the easterly 30 feet of University A venue.
f) Fire access considerations. Chief Gorman's June 24 memo describes
the concerns about maneuvering fire equipment around and through
the looping street pattern. He cites a recent experience in Fridley with
a similar development where it was very hard to gain access. He and
the City Engineer will need to run more tests to make sure that there is
adequate turning radii for the city's fire apparatus.
Preliminary Plat Conclusions
There are two unresolved issues that need to be addressed before a final plat can be
approved. They include approval of street vacations and resolution of fire access.
Some lots/units may have to be removed from the final plat in order to resolve these
issues. It is expected that the final plat will need to be modified a bit between the time
the preliminary plat is approved and the final plat is submitted for approval.
Site Plan
Section 9.413 (4) of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the Planning
Commission make each of the following findings before approving a site plan:
Page 4
City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission
Huset Park Preliminary Plat and Phase 2 Site Plan
July 6, 2005
Case # 2005-0703
a) The site plan conforms to all applicable requirements of the Ordinance.
The Phase 2 site plan is consistent with the ordinance except for the following:
1. Internal street access drive widths are less than 24 feet in most of the project.
In circumstances such as Phase 1, this was jUdged to not be a problem.
However, in this phase, the Fire Chief has expressed concern. The site plan
should not be approved at this time.
2. Ornamental trees must be 2" not 1.5' as proposed.
b) The site plan is consistent with the applicable provisions of the City's Comprehensive
Plan.
The project is consistent with the general direction established in the
Comprehensive Plan for a mixed use/transit oriented development.
c) The site plan is consistent with any applicable area plan.
A concept plan for the area has been accepted by the city and Design
Guidelines have been adopted. A shortened list of the Design Standards is
attached. Staff has found the project to be in substantial compliance with the
standards. However, some discussion of various issues is needed.
1. Setbacks: Buildings are 10 to 25 feet from the sidewalks. Some of the
buildings may be a little farther from the street than the standards suggest (20
feet maximum). However, the spirit of the ordinance is certainly met by
fronting units on the street with garages hidden to the rear of the buildings.
2. Density: Overall, the project is supposed to be 19.7 dwelling units per acre.
Phase 2 has a density of just over 12 units per acre. Therefore, units can be
subtracted in Phase 2 without falling below the 12-20 units per acre density
range agreed on by the developer and the City. '
3. Exterior Materials: The exterior materials proposed for the project are vinyl,
brick, and cultured stone. The developer has submitted drawings that show
that the entire end wall of selected units will be brick. (See the attached map
showing these locations.) In addition, the three-story buildings with seven or
more units will have 3 units that have brick faces. The other three-story
buildings will have 2 units that have brick faces. The two-story units will have
brick to a height of about four feet above grade on the middle units and
complete brick fronts on the end units. The rear sides of all the buildings will
be heavy .042 gauge vinyl siding.
4. Third Unit Type: One of the provisions in the development agreement
between the developer and the applicant is that there be at least three unit
Page 5

Huset Park Preliminary Plat and Phase 2 Site Plan
July 6, 2005
Case # 2005-0703
types. The applicants are not quite sure how they will meet this requirement.
One of the ways the applicants propose that this objective be accomplished
is by provision of a different kind of two-story unit in Phase 2 than in Phase 1.
They have submitted renderings that depict the different unit. Pictures are
attached. The end units of the two-story buildings will contain single level
living units in contrast to the other units that have several floors. This should
appeal to some of the city's empty nester or elderly population.
The other way that they might achieve the variety requirement is if they
develop a Craftsman style front for the three-story carriage units. If they
choose to go this way, they will need to come back to the Planning
Commission for approval of their plans since they do not have any renderings
ready for review at this time.
5. Landscaping and University A venue Buffer: Overall, the landscaping plan
is very good. However, there are a couple of issues that need resolution _
setbacks from University A venue and the fence design along University
A venue.
This development will occupy part of the approximately 30' of vacated
University A venue frontage road. The building's proximity to University
A venue is similar to the townhouse project across University A venue from the
Fridley city hall. Private drives are proposed between the remaining
University A venue and the units. However, the spaces between the fence
along University A venue and the private drives, as well as the setbacks of the
buildings from the street, are very shallow. It is recommended that the
buildings and the private'drives be set back further from University A venue to
allow adequate landscape buffering. At least 15 feet should be required as a
setback from the private drive to the new University Avenue right of way.
This will mean that the end units on five of the buildings will have to be
removed.
The developers have suggested that they might use a cedar fence of some
kind with brick columns. Staff recommends that the fence along University
A venue not be a solid wood fence. These kinds of fences deteriorate over
time. Furthermore, there is no room to use landscaping on the University
side of the fence. Staff recommends the construction of the same kind of
wrought iron fencing, brick columns, and landscaping solution that was used
on the townhouses in Fridley that are across from Fridley city hall. This
should give the whole development a much nicer image than a wood fence.
There are several pictures attached that show the fence and landscaping in
the area between the fence and the private access drives in the Fridley
project.

July 6, 2005
Case # 2005-0703
6. Fire Access: The discussion above related to the preliminary plat sets forth
the possibility that some units may have to be removed from the site plan in
order to provide adequate turning radii within the private street system.
However, the basic site plan is not expected to change appreciably.
7. Sidewalk Connections: The north-south sidewalk that runs mid-block
between the buildings should be continued in the block containing the two-
story units., It should intersect with a meandering trail that runs east to west
between the two-story units. A tot lot should be created at the intersection of
the trail and sidewalk~
d) The site plan minimizes any adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity
and the public right-of-way.
The area is evolving from industrial to residential. The remaining industrial uses
will be able to function even as the new housing is developed because the
housing is oriented in a way that buffers it from the industrial uses. Likewise,
, there are only two single-family homes on the north side of the project that are
immediately adjacent to the new buildings. Therefore, impacts on the existing
homes north of the project should be minimized.
Site Plan Conclusions
The site plan is acceptable with the condition that the buildings be located 15' further
from University Avenue and that there be an attractive wrought iron fence and solid
landscaped screening between the highway and the project.
Recommendation
Motion: That the Planning Commission approve- the site plan based on the following"
conditions.
1. The Planning Commission prior to issuance of building permits reviews any
major changes to the exterior elevations of the three-story carriage home units. ~
2. The vinyl siding be at least .042 mm thick.
3. The mid-block sidewalk is continued through the block along with the
construction of an east-west trail between the two-story units along with a tot lot.
4. The buildings and the private drives be set back 15 feet further from University
Avenue to allow adequate landscape buffering. The fence detail should follow
the guidelines above and be approved by the Community Development Director.
5. Construction of the same kind of fencing and landscaping solution that was used
on the townhouses that are across from Fridley city hall. (See attached
Page 7

Case # 2005-0703
pictures.)
6. Fire access issues are resolved to the satisfaction of the Fire Chief and City
Engineer.
Motion: That the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the
preliminary plat based on following conditions of approval that have been found to be
necessary to protect the public interest and ensure compliance with the provisions of
the Zoning and Development Ordinance, including:
1. The five three-story carriage house buildings and associated lots with sides
adjacent to University Avenue be moved to the east so that there is at least 15
feet of area adjacent to University Avenue property line. (See location identified
on attached site plan.) The 15' must contain landscaping and a wrought iron
fence similar to that used in the townhouse project across from Fridley city hall.
2. The development agreement must reflect an agreement between the City and
the developer on what utilities and streets within the project will be the City's
long-term maintenance and repair responsibilities.
3. The Common Interest Community documents clearly state the responsibilities of
the City and homeowners association related to streets and utilities.
4. All street vacations (by the City) should occur concurrent or prior to the final plat
approval (by phase) by the City Council and after MnDOT has rescinded their need
for the approximately easterly 30 feet of the University Avenue service road right of
way.
5. The Street names must be included on the final plat and follow 'Street' for North-
South and 'Avenue' for East-West
6. All construction traffic must be controlled and shall be directed through the
vehicle tracking pads, as indicated on the SWPPP plan. Due to the traffic
volumes, frequent street cleaning may be necessary.
7. All erosion control measures shall be installed and inspected by the City prior to
any site activities beginning.
8. In areas of concentrated flow or where slopes exceed 3:1, silt fence shall be
heavy duty (wire backed).
9. Under Erosion Control Notes, note 10, the 14-day requirement is a maximum for
restoration as described.
10. Due to the Puolic construction of Huset Parkway and related timing/schedule,
other erosion control devices may be necessary. A temporary sedimentation

pond (or other approved means) shall be utilized until the offsite ponding is
completed.
11. Wherever any of the proposed retaining walls exceeds four feet in height, the
final plans shall include a wall designed by a registered engineer. The wall shall
also have protective fencing at the top where the vertical height exceeds 48
inches.
12. Any site grading prior to final plat approval will require an excavation permit,
obtained from the Engineering department.
13.An NPDES permit will be required, at the time of construction. The City also

Park View Phase 2: Site Plan Review Application
This application is for the second phase of Park View. This phase will provide 40 two-
story townhomes and 118 three-story carriage home units. Phase 3 will include higher
density housing incorporating neighborhood retail. Throughout the total redevelopment,
Park View will provide a range of housing products connected by well-landscaped private
streets and sidewalks.
Phase 2 of Park View, like Phase 1, is designed to be a highly desirable, active,
pedestrian- and transit-oriented residential community. Park View will fit well within the
existing development pattern in Columbia Heights, while providing a distinct
neighborhood identity. Park View will be a master-planned neighborhood with common
architectural features and streetscape elements to provide a sense of place.
The project area is surrounded by residential land use to the north and south and is
,
consistent with the City of Columbia Heights' Comprehensive Plan, which calls for Transit
Oriented Development. The current zoning for the project area is Transit Oriented Mixed
Use, which requires at least two of the following three land use categories: residential,
commercial or institutional. Park View will contain residential and commercial land uses.
The purpose of the mixed use zoning district is to provide pedestrian-oriented
development that connects residential land uses to neighborhood commercial
development and transit opportunities. Park View achieves these goals.
Park View's Phase 2 contains 12.87 acres. Therefore, the density is just over 12 dwelling
units per acre. The zoning requirement for the Transit Oriented Mixed Use district is a
minimum of 12 dwelling units per acre and a maximum of 20 dwelling units per acre.
The entire project will attain a density of 19.7 dwelling units per acre. Also, for Phase 1
and 2, over one acre is being set aside for the pond in Huset Park. Phase 3 will include
an additional pond feature for storm water management, as well as a site amenity.
As required by the Zoning Ordinance, Park View's design is sensitive to adjacent usable
open space which is, in this instance, Huset Park. Park View incorporates shared green
spaces for residents throughout the neighborhood, as well as provides convenient
Page 1 of 2
Park View Phase 2: Site Plan Review Application
pedestrian and vehicular access to Huset Park. The plan includes sidewalks throughout
the site providing pedestrian and bicycle connections which will enhance circulation
patterns. The landscaping plan, in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, will provide
greenway connections to Huset Park, as well as provide a desirable residential
neighborhood.
All proposed residential buildings in Phase 2 are in accordance with the Zoning
Ordinance and are oriented to either the future Huset Parkway, a private street within
the neighborhood or to a common open area. The proposed residential buildings will
provide residents many desirable options.
As required by the Zoning Ordinance, the proposed building facades of the town homes
are varied to create visual interest. The housing products that will be offered at Park
View have been well-received in other communities throughout the Metro Area. Buyers
of these products will include young professionals without children, young families and
empty nesters. These housing options will ensure that Park View is a neighborhood with
an intergenerational mix of people. Young professionals will be attracted to the site's
close proximity to employment opportunities, while young families will prefer the site's
amenities, and proximity to Huset Park, shopping and retail services. Older buyers will
be attracted to the maintenance-free housing choices with neighborhood amenities close
to City services and transit options.
The housing products at Park View will provide life-cycle housing options for current
Columbia Heights residents, while attracting new households to the community.

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
PLANNING REPORT
CASE NUMBER:
2005-0704
DATE:
June 23, 2005
TO:
Columbia Heights Planning Commission
APPLICANT:
John and Lillian Sarkinen
LOCATION:
4446 Arthur Street NE
REQUEST:
Partial Vacation ot 45th Avenue NE
PREPARED BY:
Jenniter Haskamp, Planner
Introduction
The Applicants, John and Lillian Sarkinen are requesting the vacation ot a portion ot 45th
Avenue NE tor the purpose ot building an addition onto their garage. The northern property
boundary adjoins the right-ot-way owned by the city tor the Minneapolis Water Treatment
Facility. A portion ot 45th Avenue NE west ot the proposed area has already been vacated, and
the applicant proposes continuation ot the vacated right-or-way to extend across their northern
property boundary.
Planning Considerations
The proposed partial vacation ot 45th Ave NE will continue the vacated right-ot-way east
extending adjacent to the southern property boundary ot the Minneapolis Water Treatment
Facility. The right-ot-way currently is not accessible and does not serve through traffic, or
accommodate access points or garages. The proposed vacation will allow the applicant the
opportunity to consider an addition to their existing garage. Vacating the right-ot-way will not
affect adjacent landowners or the existing traffic flow. All structures constructed-on the vacated
right-ot-way will need to meet all necessary setback requirements, and will be reviewed prior to
issuance ot a building permit.
Consistency with Comprehensive Plan
The proposed vacation ot 45th Ave NE is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed vacation will not adversely impact the adjacent property owners or impact traffic flow.
Consistency with Zoning Ordinance
The zoning ordinance requires the property owner to have a certificate ot survey completed tor
the portion ot the vacated right-ot-way and to submit a legal description. A certificate ot survey
was not submitted with the application. A survey ot the proposed vacated area should be
identified prior to approval ot the vacation.
The applicant discussed the proposed vacation ot 45th Ave NE with the Public Works
Department, and they find no objection to the vacation ot the right-ot-way on 45th Avenue NE.
City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission
4446 Arthur St.
June 23, 2005
Case # 2005-0704
(Letter dated June 21, 2005) The Public Works Department attached a legal description of the
proposed right-of-way vacation.
Findings of Fact
The applicant has proposed the vacation of a portion of right-of-way that currently sits vacant
and does not serve any use. Portions of 45th Ave NE have already been vacated due to the
proximity of the right-of-way to the Minneapolis Water Treatment Facility. The proposed
vacation will not adversely impact adjacent properties. There are no utilities or other public
easements that are necessary on the property according to the Public Works Department. The
proposed vacation will afford the applicant the opportunity to construct an addition onto their
existing garage thereby improving the current home and lot. The proposed garage addition will
need to be verified for setback requirements prior to issuance of a building permit.
The applicant provided a legal description of the property and a list of adjacent property owners.
The applicant did not provide a certificate of survey. Prior to approval of the vacation of the
right-of-way the applicant should submit a legal survey to ensure that there is an accurate
description of the property and the vacated right-of-way.
Recommendation
Staff finds that the proposed vacation is consistent with the Columbia Heights Comprehensive
Plan and with the regulations stated in the Zonin~ Ordinance. Staff recommends approval of
the request for vacation of the right-of-way on 45 Ave NE conditional on the following:
· That the applicant submit an official certificate of survey accompanied by a legal
description.
Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the
request to vacate the before defined right-of-way on 45th Avenue NE.
