Adopt Resolution No. 2006-129, Declaring Property at 3720 2 ~ Street N.E. a Nuisance and Approving Abatement of Violations Gorman stated that this property has three violations including fencing, an old swimming pool and peeling paint. The owner wants to re-side the house, so he is requesting help to that end. Diehm asked if people with in-ground pools that no longer want them can fill them in. Gorman stated yes, but asked the owner if the liner was removed and if there are drainpipes attached. The owner stated the liner was removed and there are no pipes. Gorman indicated that construction materials can not be buried. A compromise was reached that the owner could fill in the pool and leave the concrete around it for other purposes, as long as it is less than 30 inches below ground level. Kenneth Evans, owner of the property, stated he has put in sand and will fill the rest in with dirt. The pool was destroyed before they bought the house. He indicated that the fill he placed continues to settle. This was a HUD property that he has done a lot of repair work on. He stated that he has problems with the neighbors calling the police when he tries to work on the property fence on the south side. Hoeft stated that when the order is issued, we could get the commercial contractor on the private property to do the work or the order would allow the owner to do the work through this process. The owner stated that if the pool is filled in, there is no need for a fence. He indicated that he did not receive a certified letter. Hoeft stated that the notice is not required to be certified by State Statute and if the owner wants to take the fence down, that is fine, but if it stays it must be repaired. The fire department will work with him ifhe wants to put on siding. Gorman stated that the owner has been in contact with the department and he gave the history of the property. We are willing to work with him, but question how long it will take to side the home. Gorman stated that there is street construction, which has hampered some of this work. The owner stated he received a letter from his mortgage company that the council had approved this. The owner stated that the department has not worked with him. Peterson stated that we are trying to clean up our community to make it a better place to live. He asked if there was anyone else present to speak on this property. There was not. P.22 City Council Minutes August 28, 2006 Page 18 of26 The owner stated that the resolution indicates that the city could choose to replace the pool in his yard. Peterson suggested the pool be required to be removed. Nawrocki stated that the city would probably not come in and build a pool. Williams referred to the options to repair, replace or remove. Gorman stated that this process will now allow him to go onto his neighbor's property to work on the fence. We can not allow him another couple of years before he gets the work done. Evans stated that he also cannot do the work because his street has been tom up. Nawrocki stated that they can use the alley. Evans stated he would then have no where to park. Larkin stated that it will have to be determined ifhe needs to go on to the neighbor's property. Evans stated that he would have to dig postholes. Nawrocki stated that you have to stay on your property to build and maintain fencing. Hoeft agreed. Hoeft stated that determination has not been made and if needed it will be done. Hoeft requested to modify the resolution only requiring notification by regular mail.

Gorman described each item and explained how the fee was determined. Nawrocki asked how much income this would generate. Gorman stated it could be about $8,000. Nawrocki stated that the budget could then be reduced by this amount. Gorman stated it would replace reductions in the budget. Nawrocki referred to the decision to maintain the size of the department with the inclusion of doing inspections. Inspection of tents should be included. Gorman stated that staffing has not changed in 25 years in the fire department and that plan reviews require maintaining certifications, which are very expensive. The training budget is the area that needs this funding. Nawrocki stated that a couple years ago the Manager's budget did recommend dropping one person, but Council retained that person with the idea that the inspections could be handled as needed. Nawrocki asked if this covers assisted living facilities. Gorman stated that we inspect Crest View apartments. Nawrocki questioned the proposed facility for University. Diehm stated that the question if the fire department can handle these inspections and the charges are separate. The fees that affect residents are the fire permits, the abatement process, and it is adding fees to commercial businesses for the use of our services. Ken Evans, 2 'is Street, stated there is now a $10 fee for a yearly recreational fire permit. Gorman stated that ten individual permits are allowed without a charge. Gorman stated that would allow people that only want a few recreational fires a year to not have to pay. F ehst stated that residents like the idea of a yearly permit. Gorman stated that most residents have no problem with this fee. Gorman stated that these items are required to be inspected by the State and he indicated that homeowners should not have to pay for this. Motion by Diehm, seconded by Williams, to waive the reading of Resolution 2006-131, there being ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.

Bid Considerations--None Other Business Distribution of the 2007 City Manager's Proposed Budget and Tax Levy Fehst stated that the budget would be discussed at the work session tomorrow night. $8,685,000 -or an increase of $276,000 more than last year, is primarily due to the employee cost ofliving increase. With the Library and EDA levy the budget increase would be 2.4 percent. Fehst stated that State Aid has been reduced annually with an increase this year for the first time in several years. He recommended $70,000 in contingencies for police and fire needs. Fehst referred to the large number oflicense revocations and abatements at this meeting, which take a large amount of staff time. This recommendation would be presented for approval at the first meeting in September. Fehst referred to our revenue base increasing only about one percent per year. He referred to the service level we offer regardless of diminishing State support. The proposal is for a 3.5 percent increase. Nawrocki referred to private industry cuts in their costs. He indicated that levy's have not been reduced because of the loss of state aid. He referred to the tax increase last year indicated to residents at 4 to 5 percent, but some residents received a 10 percent increase. We have a lot of seniors in this community. There are tax increases and there are assessments for road improvements. Nawrocki stated that we need to set up some work sessions to discuss the bup. 2 8 At the work sessions he does not want the time taken City Council Minutes August 28, 2006 Page 24 of26 Up by power point presentations, but rather talking about expenditures and income sources. Nawrocki stated that the document handed out is not complete. He wants to see every fund that we have; balances, incomes, etc. Diehm stated that we would spend much of the fall discussing the budget. She stated concern about being more accurate and honest with what the tax amount would be. We cannot tell every citizen what the impact will be on their property tax. The change in market value makes a difference. This year there may be reductions in property values and their tax will go down. That would then have to be absorbed by other property owners. We cannot tell residents what their tax will be. Nawrocki stated that we can have a cross section of the town and what the increases would be. The decreases will be to the higher priced home. Diehm stated they are not seeking a property tax reduction and they are not happy their values are being reduced. We need to look at what is causing the reduction in values. We want to maintain the quality oflife in our community. Fehst compared other communities to inner ring suburbs and the need to maintain assessed market values. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Report of the City Manager Fehst stated that our City has entered into a predevelopment agreement for part of the Apache Theater property. The remaining portion would have 66 units of assisted living, 16 units of advanced care of senior citizens. Our option, on the front of the property, would be to possibility build a liquor store to replace the one next to Unique Thrift. Nawrocki stated it would be approximately $600,000 for this purpose. Fehst stated that the EDA feels we have been in the liquor business for a long time and if you to stay in the business, it would be best to own rather than rent. The direction by the EDA has been to proceed. Nawrocki referred to the claim that the current property owner will increase the rent, but it should be negotiated and discussed compared to building a new building. Diehm stated that we did look at detailed figures for purchase ofthe property, and what the returns would be to the community; assuming that first our sales remain constant, or that sales increase five to ten percent, or third that sales increase more than that. Under any of those scenarios, this was still a cost benefit to the community as a whole. Nawrocki stated he did not agree with the figures. Peterson referred to the need to compete with comparable businesses and the desire of the current owner for us to move. Fehst stated that there have been appraisals on the Mady's property and the EDA has asked to go ahead with negotiations on the property. Nawrocki stated that they recommend beginning at $1.2 million. F ehst questioned him giving that information. Nawrocki stated it was public information. He indicated this does not include the cost of the Burger King site or the rental property site and indicated that we do not have a plan for the property. We only received one proposal for housing of rental property. Fehst stated that we do not have an offer for the property at this time. Fehst referred to historic problems at this site. He stated that you can let the property deteriorate or let other businesses come in and fix it up. Nawrocki referred to the work on 49th Avenue adjacent to Nedegaard's development, stating there is poor redirection of traffic. Fehst stated that will be removed soon and a sidewalk will be placed, hopefully this week. P. 2 9 City Council Minutes August 28, 2006 Page 25 of 26 Williams referred to a comment from Mark Hinrich on WiFi. Fehst stated that this is being discussed. We wish to speak to Minneapolis about having a piggyback to their contract. Report of the City Attorney Hoeft referred to a license approved with the name of Jim Hoeft, but it is not him. CITIZENS FORUM Evans, 2 12 Street, indicated concern that the sidewalk in front of his home is being replaced and asked for a guarantee that it would not heave again. Fehst stated there is a one year guarantee, but not after that. Evans stated that the sidewalk ends 40 feet from his house. Evans asked why Wagomen Brothers is not required to clean up their property and the vehicles there. Fehst referred to clean up of the industrial area. Hoeft stated that the City Planner has had contact with them and concerns are being addressed. Peterson requested more information on this. Ray Anderson stated she is running for State Senate and was present to observe. She passed out literature. COUNCIL CORNER Kelzenberg . Read from the Green Sheet on police activities.

Fehst stated that they don't catch all of the problems, but they get the worst of them and do the best they can. . Regarding the activity center progress - does not agree that council members should not participate. Has attended the meetings. It is not a total resident committee. Some people are there because they want gyms or a new library. Feels it is a staff driven committee. Complimented the consultant. Candidates should let the public know where they stand on this issue. Diehm wished Councilmember Nawrocki a Happy Birthday. Fehst stated that the Council hired the activity center consultant. It is not staff driven. Committee members are from all different backgrounds.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (EDA) REGULAR MEETING MINUTES July 25, 2006 CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL President, Murzyn, Jr. called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Present: Don Murzyn Jr., Patricia Jindra, Bobby Williams and Bruce Nawrocki, Tammera Diehm, Gary L. Peterson and Bruce Kelzenberg PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE CONSENT AGENDA Minutes of May 23rd and July 10th, 2006 meetings Financial Report and Payment of Bills for May and June 2006, Resolution 2006-06. Nawrocki asked on the May financial report, what is the EDAM charge for. Streetar stated that is the Economic Development Authority Conference that Schumacher and he attended. MOTION by Williams, second by Jindra, to approve the consent agenda Items #3 and #4 as listed. All ayes. Motion Carried. BUSINESS ITEMS Lease Aareement between EDA and Michelle Binaham Schumacher stated this is a consideration of a lease between the EDA and Michelle Bingham for a beauty salon at the old Beecroft building on 3710 Central A venue. The building was purchased in 2003 for redevelopment along with two homes just south of it. Bingham is a Columbia Heights resident and a hair salon owner in the City since 1980. She would like to lease one of the units in the Beecroft building from the City as her landlord is requested her to move out by July 1 ih due to expanding his dental offices at 425 4dfi A venue. Bingham would have to install a shampoo sink, remove carpet, remove a portion of the suspended ceiling, paint and clean the unit prior to occupancy at her own expense. This building is in a redevelopment area of the City, therefore, the lease is set up on a month-to-month basis, commencing on July 26th, rent at $625/month, she would pay for gas, electric and all City utilities, and wouldn't be allowed to make any additions or improvements without a building permit to the unit. The lease agreement has been reviewed and approved by attorney Mike Norton, with Kennedy & Graven and Bingham has reviewed and agreed to the terms of the lease. Staff recommends approval of the lease agreement. Nawrocki asked how many square feet is the unit and how did they come up with the cost. Schumacher stated it is about 900 square feet and that on our recent appraisal of property along Central Avenue was $8.30/sq ft. Nawrocki asked how much does the other tenant pay. Schumacher stated staff has discussed that lease and would be bringing it to the EDA, so we have two similar leases for that building. Streetar stated P.32 Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes July 25, 2006 Page 2 of3 the current rent is about $935/month without utilities, and that the tenant was in the building at the time we bought it. What we are presenting to Bingham is that we collect the rent and she pay the utilities because there is more of an incentive to watch the utility use rather than base it on a flat fee. Nawrocki stated Mike Erlandson, who is running for office called him looking for a place for his campaign office, he then talked to Streetar, who said it would be approx. $1,OOO/month. Streetar stated when he quoted him the $1,OOO/month it was with rent and all the utilities included. Jindra asked, if there wasn't some asbestos issues with the property. Schumacher stated there wasn't any in that building. Williams asked why we pay for insurance on the building, doesn't the renter pay insurance. Schumacher stated the renter pays a different type of insurance, which is for their property only, and we pay for the building and grounds. Motion by Peterson, second by Williams, to approve the lease agreement between EDA and Michelle Bingham. All ayes. Motion Carried. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Activity Center Partenheimer stated the newsletter has been delivered to all the Columbia Heights residents, all information is on the web site, the first open house will be tomorrow night, July 26 at tpm at Murzyn Hall. Nawrocki stated we have always had an activity center at Murzyn hall for residents since 1938, which is a viable activity center with all kinds of programs for kids, and seniors. The one thing that we don't have there is a basketball court. Sarna's Partenheimer stated the property has started to be developed, with excavating, soil corrections and preparations for demolition. Construction should start soon. 37th & Stinson Partenheimer stated over the next couple of weeks the developer, is preparing a redevelopment proposal with accompanying financial information and will be brought back to the EDA at a future meeting. 39th & Central Partenheimer stated staff would be meeting with Bruggemann next Monday to review his development proposal. Information should be available at the next EDA meeting. Williams asked why staff is going to meet with Bruggemann. Partenheimer stated they are developing plans. In the meeting a few weeks ago with staff, they asked questions on City codes and we provided them some information on utilities. The next meeting, P.33 Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes July 25, 2006 Page 3 of3 she believed was to talk about the potential plans. Grand Central Lofts Partenheimer stated on July 10th the EDA and City Council directed staff to apply for a Livable Communities Grant (LCDA) for funding a parking ramp to serve 47,698 feet of proposed commercial development. Park View Partenheimer stated Phase /I clean up is complete and they are starting to build the first building, with one house sold site un-seen. A total of 64 townhomes have been sold.

All ayes, motion carried. LETTERS AND REQUESTS Recreation Director Windschitl reported to the commission that resident Linda Silge is requesting a fee-waived room rental to conduct a quilting quild. He stated that this would be an option when the building is already rented for another event and that it would be a new opportunity for Columbia Heights residents. Chair Evans requested that more details be discussed as far as how often, what day and for what length of time. Motion by Foss to table the request until the next meeting so that more details can be obtained, second by Payne. All ayes, motion carried. Recreation Director Windschitl reported that the request from Northeast Bank to hold a fundraiser for one of their employees with acute leukemia is for the date of Wednesday September 13, 2006. He believes that this would be a positive gesture from the Park and Recreation Commission and that there would be staff already in place due to other programs at Murzyn Hall that evening. He also indicated that NE Bank does a lot for our community. Motion by Foss to grant the fee-waived rental since the building will be opened and staffed, second by Greenhalgh. All ayes, motion carried. OLD BUSINESS Public Works Director/City Engineer Hanson updated the commission on problems that have been occurring at the wading pools. Some of the problems have been that older youth are taking their bikes or skateboards into the fenced in pool areas. The police that have responded to the complaints have asked for some kind of age limitations to help enforce proper behaviors. There have been more complaints received for the wading pool at McKenna Park than the other 2 wading pools. A survey was taken regarding the posting at other wading pools in nine to ten other cities. Robbinsdale is the only other city that has posted a recommended age of 8 to 12 years old for the wading pool. He suggests to mirror what Robbinsdale has done with posting age limits on groups of children to between 8 and 12 years old. The current signage at the City wading pools says no bikes or skateboards. Hansen commented that everyone could use the wading pools; he believes that what the police are looking for is some other method to control the behavior of groups at the wading pools that are riding their bikes in the pool and posing P.35 Park & Recreation Commission August 22, 2006 2 other safety issues. Motion by Foss to put up signage that limits the age to 8 years old and under, second by Greenhalgh. All ayes, motion carried. Chair Evans asked Hansen about the details of the bills regarding the Anoka County License Center. Hansen replied that the license were for the park vehicles and our wading pools. Hansen reported that a second survey was conducted with area cities and most importantly no other city installs a 6 to 8 foot high solid fence. Some cities will place trees or shrubs for privacy. Hansen is willing to put together a city fencing policy for the commission to review. He will also give the commission a map of the city parks and where the existing chain link fences are. Residents, Mr. & Mrs. Allen have already installed a cedar privacy around their yard as stated from the May 26, 2006 Park and Recreation Commission meeting. Foss suggested for Hansen to create a fencing policy for review at the next meeting. Hansen replied that he would write the policy to state that the standard fencing would be chain link but it is not the intent to have a fence around every city park perimeter. Evans believes that it is important to create a policy in order to treat all residents equally. Hoium objects to creating a policy due to one specific request of a resident. Hansen replied that by creating a policy it acts as a guide for staff during remodeling projects, but it is only a policy. Motion by Payne to respond to the Sowada family to put up own privacy fence within the guidelines of the City, inside the present chain link fence, at their own costs and not at the cost of the City, second by Greenhalgh. All ayes, motion carried. NEW BUSINESS Windschitl reported on charging for the rental of Murzyn Hall during the Columbia Heights High School Senior All Night Party. In times oftrying to raise additional revenue this is something that needs to be looked at. Evans asked what has been done in the past. Windschitl replied that there has been no charge for the rental. This is a group of parents that put together the party with a large budget. His suggestion is to charge the $40.00 entry fee with a $15.00 per hour charge from Thursday night into Friday morning, after the office hours, when we are providing a staff person that would not normally be there. Foss commented that there not been any charge in the past because it is for youth. Peterson replied that the budget for the party is around $20,000 and asking for a couple hundred dollars is not asking too much. Windschitl reported that even this year they were using extra power from Murzyn Hall for a riding bull machine. Evans commented that we need to recover for our staff costs. Motion by Hoium to charge an entry fee of $40.00 and $15.00 per hour, second by Foss. All ayes, motion carried. Request from Trevor Samaroo, 2114 N. Upland Crest, to rent Murzyn Hall for a cultural event for the community on September 23, 2006 with an extended rental time ending at 1 :30 a.m. Samaroo owns a DJ service and is at Murzyn Hall for a lot of wedding receptions. The event on September 23rd would use the Lion's Club for the bar service and would like them to serve until 12:30 a.m. Hoium reported that when he worked at the last cultural event for this group the party did not start until after 9:00 p.m. and it P.36 Park & Recreation Commission August 22, 2006 3 would not be a problem to extend the bar until 12:30 a.m. Windschitl suggested charging the $60.00 early entry fee to until 1 :30 a.m. McDonald asked if more security would be needed. Windschitl said that Samaroo was willing to work with Murzyn Hall on security needs. Motion by Greenhalgh to approve the $60.00 fee for a late rental charge with the bar shutting down at 12:30 a.m., working with extra security if needed and ending at 1 :30 a.m., second by Payne. All ayes, motion carried. REPORTS RECREA nON DIRECTOR Windschitl reported that the summer programs are ending and all programs went well. The Moonshoe theater performance will be on August 2nd and 3rd. The dinner theater performance is almost sold out with a total of 168 tickets. Regarding next months commission meeting it is scheduled on the same night as the city employee picnic and suggested changing the meeting date to August 30, 2006. PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER Hansen reported that public works is maintaining University Avenue from 37th to 53rd. Peterson replied that a private cutter was approved. Hansen said that they will be used once per month after the ruff cut. Huset Parkway is nearing completion. A drawing Huset Parkway and the pond area was passed out to commission members. He pointed out that the plan has a future pavilion, which would be an appropriate feature adjacent to Murzyn Hall. Peterson asked what the future plan was for the garage behind Murzyn Hall. Hansen reported that is will eventually be taken down. Windschitl reported that it currently has equipment from other departments inside such as football, recreation, theater parts, park equipment, lawn mowers, snow blowers and other items. If the garage is taken down in the future there will have to be a place to store what is currently in there. Evans asked if the parks department paid for the whole roundabout. Hansen replied that City State Aide and the Developers paid about SO/50 of the project. Hansen invited the commission to tour the remodeled Public Works facility. COMMISSION MEMBERS Foss reported that he has received complaints on the restrooms not being open at the parks for the recreation T-Ball and Baseball programs and that the satellites are too far away from the fields. He suggested possibly giving a key to the coaches. Evans replied that in the past when the buildings were open the bathrooms were constantly getting plugged and being abused during the day. Foss also reported that he would like to see all of the park signs updated. He feels that new signs would make the parks look better and people are more likely to read them.

Roll Call: Commission Members present-Thompson, Fiorendino, Scrunitt, Peterson, and Szurek. Also present were Jeff Sargent (City Planner), Gary Peterson (Council Liaison), and Shelley Hanson (Secretary). Motion by Fiorendino, seconded by Peterson, to approve the minutes from the meeting of August 8, 2006. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. Sargent opened his presentation by reviewing the role of the Commission. He told the members and the audience that the Planning & Zoning Commission's responsibility is to uphold and follow the Comprehensive Plan including the Design Guidelines and the Zoning Ordinance, which have been adopted by the City Council. He further explained that the Design Guidelines were established by a committee of residents, business owners, and leaders in the community, who desire to improve the aesthetics of our business corridors of 40th Avenue and Central Avenue. He stated he is reviewing these responsibilities as this is the first time staff has recommended denial of a request in quite some time. PUBLIC HEARINGS CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: REQUEST: 2006-0604 & 0605 Border Foods Inc/Taco Bell & Starbuck's Coffee 4900 & 4910 Central Ave Site PlanIV ariance Border Foods, Inc. ("applicant") submitted a plan for a new Taco Bell and Starbucks restaurant to be located at the comer of 49th Avenue and Central Avenue to the Planning Commission on August 8, 2006. This plan required a total of three (3) variance requests and thirteen (13) deviations from the Design Guidelines established for Central A venue. At the August 8, 2006 Planning Commission meeting, the applicant requested that his applicant be continued to the September 6, 2006 meeting. At this time, the applicant has not submitted any new plans to the City of Columbia Heights ("City") regarding this application. The applicant is working to secure a driveway access from the property owner to the north in order to be able to redesign the site layout for the two buildings. The applicant has also stated that the Taco Bell and Starbucks corporate entities have been informed on the Design Standards that the City has, and that changes to the originally proposed plans would need to be made in order for the project to be approved. No new plans have been submitted, and at this time, the applicant wishes to pursue the originally proposed plans. PAO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 2 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 Border Foods, Inc. is representing both Taco Bell and Starbucks in an effort to redevelop the land located at 4900 Central Avenue and 4910 Central Avenue. The proposal includes replacing the existing Taco Bell restaurant and Dave's Car Wash, with a new Taco Bell restaurant and a Starbucks building. The proposal requires the following approvals: 1. Site Plan Approval for the Taco Bell restaurant per Code Section 9.104 (M). 2. Site Plan Approval for the Starbucks restaurant per Code Section 9.104 (M). 3. A 2-foot parking stall length variance for the Taco Bell parcel per Code Section 9.106 (L)(7)(a). 4. A 2-foot parking stall length variance for the Starbucks parcel per Code Section 9.106 (L)(7)(a). 5. A 31.24 square foot area variance for wall signage for the Taco Bell building per Code Section 9.106 (P)( l2)(b)( 1). 6. The project will also require 13 deviations from the Highway District Design Guidelines. Background For approximately the last four years, Border Foods, Inc. has attempted to acquire 14 feet of the southerly portion of the property occupied by Dave's Car Wash, for the purpose of building a new Taco Bell at the existing location. On February 7, 2006, Border Foods acquired this property in its entirety. After the acquisition, the applicant contacted the City of Columbia Heights ("City"), indicating their desire to redevelop the site to include a new Taco Bell restaurant and a Starbucks Coffee Shop. During many meetings, it became apparent that the Border Foods proposal would require variances and a number of waivers from the City's Design Guidelines. Staff worked diligently with the applicant, suggesting some potential alternatives to bring their proposal into conformity with the City's Design Guidelines. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan is prepared by the community and approved by the City Council. It establishes the future vision for Columbia Heights over a 10 - year period and best represents the public interest. The Zoning Code, Subdivision Regulations, Building Code and Design Guidelines are standards created to ensure the Comprehensive Plan is implemented. The primary function of the Planning Commission is to ensure the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area for commercial development and includes goals for commercial and economic development. These include strengthening the image of the community as a desirable place to live and work; providing opportunities and mechanisms for successful redevelopment of targeted areas; preserving and enhancing the existing commercial areas within the community; advocating high quality development and redevelopment within the community; and enhancing the economic viability of the community. The applicant's proposal is a commercial proposal and therefore consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in that regard. The applicant's proposal also requires 13 waivers from the City's Design Guidelines. These Guidelines were adopted by the City Council after one year of preparation by a citizens group that included residents, as well as Central Avenue business owners. The guidelines were established to increase the visual appeal and pedestrian orientation of certain maior street corridors within the city, thereby P.4l PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 3 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 increasing the economic vitality of these corridors, and supporting the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The guidelines represent the minimum standards for design quality and have been implemented by Discount Tire, Advanced Auto Parts, aild Grand Central Lofts, all on Central Avenue. Ryland Homes, Inc. and Schafer Richardson have also used the guidelines in the redevelopment of the Industrial Park. Border Food's request to waive 13 of the Design Guidelines is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. ZONING CODE Zoning The property is located in the GB, General Business District, and is adjacent to Central Avenue. The properties to the north and east are also zoned GB, General Business. The properties to the west are zoned R2-A and R2-B, One and Two Family Residential Districts. The property to the south is zoned commercial and is in the City of Hilltop. Landscape Plan For all new construction, the City's Zoning Code requires a landscape plan meeting minimum standards as outlined in the Code. The proposed landscape plan effectively screens the proposed parking areas while creating a pedestrian-friendly atmosphere. The existing fencing along the alley right-of-way is also in poor condition, however the applicant has proposed to replace the fence with a new privacy fence. These improvements meet the City Code requirements in all aspects. Storm water Management According to the City Engineer, the Taco Bell/Starbucks preliminary site plans did not meet the requirements of City Code section 9.609 - Stormwater Management and the City's NPDES permit requirements. The plan set did not include any type of provisions for treating the surface water prior discharging from the site in accordance with the Stormwater Management Ordinance and the City's BMP's. A site-specific stormwater plan must be submitted for approval for final platting. Design Guidelines The project is located at 4900 and 4910 Central Avenue, which is also located within the Design Guidelines' "Highway District". Properties located in this district are subject to these design guidelines when discussing the placement of the building on the lot, the height of the building, architectural details of the building, and signage. The design guidelines build on and complement recently completed streetscape improvements to the Central Avenue business district. They were developed by consultants, and a Citizen Task Force with representatives from the City Council, Planning Commission, area business owners and landowners, and interested citizens, and are mandatory. It is assumed that the intent of the guidelines should be met, however, it is understood that there may be alternative ways to achieve the same design objectives. The City may permit alternative approaches that, in its determination, meet the objective(s) of the design guideline(s) equally well. The City may also waive any guideline when specific physical conditions of the site or building would make compliance more difficult or inappropriate. P.42 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 4 SEPTEMBER 6,2006 FINDINGS OF FACT Site Plan Section 9.413, subd. 4 of the Columbia Heights Zoning Code requires that the Planning Commission make each ofthe following four (4) findings before approving a site plan: 1. The site plan conforms to all applicable requirements of the Ordinance. As stated previously, the project site is located in the Design Guideline Corridor and is located in the "Highway District". There are 13 total proposed deviations from the Design Guidelines for the construction of the Taco Bell and Starbucks buildings as currently presented. They include the following: Building Placement. The Design Guidelines require the buildings to have a well-defined front fat;ade with primary entrances facing the street. Buildings should be aligned so that the dominant lines of their facades parallel the line of the street and create a continuous edge. 1. Taco BelL The Taco Bell building does not have a well-defined front fat;ade facing Central Avenue. The main fat;ade with accompanying front entrance face the south, into the parking lot, which does not meet the Design Guidelines criterion. 2. Starbucks. The Starbucks building does not have a well-defined front fat;ade facing Central Avenue. The main fat;ade with accompanying front entrance face the north, into the parking lot, which does not meet the Design Guidelines criterion. Building Height All buildings shall have a minimum cornice height of 22 feet in order to create an increased sense of enclosure and diminish the perceived width of the street. This also conveys a multi-story appearance even if the building has only one occupied floor. 3. Taco BelL The plans for the Taco Bell building indicate a height of 18 feet 3 inches to the parapet wall. The proposed height is not consistent with the Design Guidelines. 4. Starbucks. The plans for the Starbucks building indicate a height of 18 feet 4 inches to the top of the cornice. The proposed height is not consistent with the Design Guidelines. Entries. Primary building entrances on all buildings shall face the primary abutting street or walkway (Central Avenue). 5. Taco Bell. The primary entrance for the Taco Bell building does not face Central Avenue; rather it faces south, towards the parking lot. The proposed location of the main entry is not consistent with the Design Guidelines. 6. Starbucks. The primmy entrance for the Starbucks building does not face Central A venue; rather it faces north, towards the parking lot. The proposed location of the main entry is not consistent with the Design Guidelines. Franchise Architecture. Franchise architecture (building design that is trademarked or identified with a particular chain or corporation and is generic in nature) is generally discouraged unless it employs a traditional storefront commercial style. This is to encourage new building design that is supportive of the urban design goals of the City. and that responds to its context. P.43 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 5 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 7. Taco BelL The Taco Bell stand-alone building is a prototype to be used in other locations as well. The architectural detailing on the building, including, but not limited to the "flying arch" is indicative of a Taco Bell franchise building. For this reason the design does not meet the Design Guidelines in regards to franchise architecture. Drive-through Facilities. Drive through elements shall be placed to the side or rear of the principal building, and shall not be located between any buildingfar;ade and Central Avenue. 8. Taco BelL The Taco Bell plans indicate that the preview board, menu board, and the bulk of the queuing line will be placed between the front far;ade of the building and Central Avenue. The placement of these elements is not consistent with the Design Guidelines. Freestanding Signage. Ground or monument signs are encouraged rather than pylon signs. 9. Taco BelL The Taco Bell project is proposing to utilize a 25-foot pylon sign for their freestanding signage. This is not consistent with the Design Guidelines, as the guidelines require the use of monument signs, at a maximum height of 8 feet. 10. Starbucks. The Starbucks project is proposing to utilize a 25-foot pylon sign for their freestanding signage. This is not consistent with the Design Guidelines, as the guidelines require the use of monument signs, at a maximum height of 8 feet. Sign Illumination. External illumination of signs is required. Internally box signs and awning are not permitted with the exception of theatre marquees. 11. Taco BelL The Taco Bell project is proposing to use an internally lit pylon sign, which is not consistent with the Design Guidelines. 12. Starbucks. The Starbucks project is proposing to use an internally lit pylon sign, which is not consistent with the Design Guidelines. Illuminated Wall Signage. External illumination of signs is permitted by incandescent, metal halide or fluorescent light that emits a continuous white light. Internally lit box signs and awnings are not permitted. 13. Taco BelL The Taco Bell building proposes the use of a box sign logo, which is internally illuminated. This type of s ign age must be externally lit per the Design Guidelines. For this reason, the proposed is not consistent with the requirement. 2. The site plan is consistent with the applicable provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan. As stated previously, the site plan is not consistent with the applicable provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan because it fails to create a project that meets the minimum standards. 3. The site plan is consistent with any applicable area plan. Currently, there is no area plan for the proposed project area. P.44 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 6 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 4. The site plan minimizes any adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and the public right-of-way. The proposed plans are consistent with the Zoning Code in regards to building setback and screening from adjacent residentially zoned parcels. For this reason, the site plan minimizes and adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and public rights-of-way. Variances Section 90407, subd. 6 of the Columbia Heights Zoning Code requires that the Planning Commission make each of the following five (5) findings before approving a variance. Taco Bell 2-foot oarkinQ stalllenQth Variance reauest: 1. Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this Ordinance would cause undue hardship. The proposed orientation of the building decreases the amount of land available to meet setback requirements for the parking lot, while maintaining adequate parking stall lengths and drive aisle widths. If the building was oriented differently on the property, adequate space could be achieved to meet the City Code requirements for the parking stall lengths. For this reason, the applicant's design has caused the necessity of the variance and no hardship is present. 2. The conditions upon which the variances are based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. The applicant has created the hardship by purchasing a piece of property and attempting to place a commercial use on the property, which requires more land to meet the City's minimum requirements. There are no unique circumstances surrounding the parcel that differentiate themselves from other properties within the same zoning classification. 3. The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this Ordinance and has not been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property. The owner of the property has caused the stated hardship being used to justify the variance requests. By reorienting the building differently on the property, the 2-foot parking stall length variance for Taco Bell could be eliminated. The variance request is a direct result of the proposed orientation of the building, which the applicant has decided on. P.4S PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 7 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 4. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the Comprehensive Plan is to establish the future visionfor Columbia Heights over a 10 - year period and best represent the public interest. Granting this variance request would allow for the placement of a building that is inconsistent with the Design Guidelines, which in turn are established to implement the Comprehensive Plan. For this reason, granting the variance would not be harmonious with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. 5. The granting of the variance(s) will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development, or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. Granting the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare. The parking stall length variance would help accommodate pedestrians by providing more parking stalls on site. City Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend denial of the 2-foot parking stall length variance for the Taco Bell building because of an insufficient hardship and because granting the variance request would not meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Taco Bell 31.24 SQuare foot area variance for wall silffia2.e: 1. Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this Ordinance would cause undue hardship. The Sign Code states that total wall signage for buildings in the GB, General Business District shall not exceed !vIlO (2) square feet for each front foot of building or structure. Because of the proposed orientation of the building, the applicant has been limited with the amount of signage desired for the building. If the building were oriented in a way consistent with the Design Guidelines for the area, there would be an adequate amount of front footage to obtain the desired amount of sign age. For this reason, the applicant's design has caused the necessity of the variance and no hardship is present. 2. The conditions upon which the variances are based are unique to the specific parcel ofland involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. The applicant has created the hardship by purchasing a piece of property and attempting to place a commercial use on the property, which requires more land to meet the City's minimum requirements. There are no unique circumstances surrounding the parcel that differentiate themselves from other properties within the same zoning classification. P.46 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGES SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 3. The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this Ordinance and has not been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property. The owner of the property has caused the stated hardship justifying the variance requests. By reorienting the building differently on the property, 31.24 square foot area variance for the wall signage on the Taco Bell building could be eliminated. The variance request is a direct result of the proposed orientation of the building, which the applicant has decided on. 4. The granting of the variances is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the Comprehensive Plan is to establish the future visionfor Columbia Heights over a 10 - year period and best represent the public interest. The necessity of this variance request is due to the orientation of the Taco Bell building, which is inconsistent with the Design Guidelines. The Design Guidelines, in turn, are established to implement the Comprehensive Plan. For this reason, granting the variance would not be harmonious with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. 5. The granting ofthe variance(s) will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development, or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. The granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare. City Staffrecommends that the Planning Commission recommend denial of the 31.24 square foot area variance for wall signage on the Taco Bell building because of an insufficient hardship, and because granting the variance request would not meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Starhucks 2-foot oarkinQ: stalllen~h variance: 1.

There are no unique circumstances surrounding the parcel that differentiate themselves from other properties within the same zoning classification. P.47 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 9 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 3. The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this Ordinance and has not been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property. The owner of the property has caused the stated hardship justifYing the variance requests. By reorienting the building differently on the property, the 2-foot parking stall length variance for Starbucks could be eliminated. The variance request is a direct result of the proposed orientation of the building, which the applicant has decided on. 4. The granting of the variances is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the Comprehensive Plan is to establish the future vision for Columbia Heights over a 10 - year period and best represent the public interest. Granting this variance request would allow for the placement of a building that is inconsistent with the Design Guidelines, which in turn are established to implement the Comprehensive Plan.

Granting the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare. The parking stall length variance would help accommodate pedestrians by providing more parking stalls on site. City Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend denial of the 2-foot parking stall length variance for the Starbucks building because of an insufficient hardship, and because granting the variance request would not meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. CONCLUSION The Taco Bell/Starbucks proposal does not meet the intent ofthe Design Guidelines for a new commercial development along Central Avenue. With some modifications to the site plan and building plans, the applicant could present a plan that eliminates all variance requests and is more consistent with the types of developments that the City of Columbia Heights has worked hard to obtain along its most important major thoroughfare. City Staff understands that the applicant is willing to work with the City to achieve the desired goals stated in the Comprehensive Plan, however the proposed development plans do not meet the minimum standards. The proposed site plan did not meet the requirements of City Code section 9.609 - Stormwater Management and the City's NPDES permit requirements either. The plan set did not include any type of provisions for treating the surface water prior discharging from the site in accordance with the Stormwater Management Ordinance and the City's BMP's. P.4S PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 10 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 Questions from Members: The members had no further questions since nothing had changed since the August 8th meeting. The Public Hearing was opened: Jim Erickson, the representative from Border Foods, confirmed that Sargent's report was correct. He explained they have considered alternative options, but since the Planning & Zoning Commission is not a governing body, they will go to the City Council and work with them, as they are the decision making body. Mr. Erickson felt they had been close to coming to an agreement, but since the last meeting, have moved further apart on the issues. He thought the original plans submitted were in the best interest of Border's Foods and the City of Columbia Heights for safety and functionality of the site. He briefly discussed the reasons why they submitted plans that did not conform to the City's Design Guidelines. He stated that they require a site with 40,000 sf in order to have a drive through. While this site meets that requirement, MnDot will not allow any curb cuts off Central Avenue so they are working around that the best they can. He pointed out that they are investing about $3.5 million dollars to develop the two business sites. They want to improve the avenue with their development. He stated that they cannot meet all the requirements 100% and make it work. Since they bought the extra piece of property, they had hoped to add the second business to provide an additional option to the residents, and to utilize the site to the utmost. Erickson stated that they wish to continue the process and will take this issue to the City Council to see which points are the most important, as they are the ultimate decision making body. Szurek stated the Commission's role is to go by staff's recommendation and to ensure that the guidelines that have been established by community input are followed. She doubts that the City Council will disregard the Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Ordinance and the Design Guidelines as it would set precedence and would make all the effort that went into establishing these guidelines meaningless. She stated that I or 2 variances could have been overlooked or compromised on, but 13 deviations that are not caused by hardships is impossible to overlook. She listed the height of the building, the location of the drive through, no storm drainage plan, and the location of the building itself as just a few of the deviations that are not caused by hardship. Erickson responded that there is a hardship because there is no access off Central Ave, and that customers will need to use 49th A venue as the access to these businesses. He stated he is working with Mr. Streetar and the owner ofUdupi for an additional access off CentraL He felt they are making every attempt to work within the parameters and again stated they could meet many of the requirements, but not all of them. The Public Hearing was closed. P.49 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 11 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 Motion by Peterson, seconded by Fiorendino, that the Planning Commission deny the site plan approval for the Taco Bell located at 4910 Central Avenue and Starbucks at 4900 Central Avenue, because the site plan does not meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, and no stormwater management plan was included. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Firoendino, that the Planning Commission recommends the City Council deny the 2-foot parking stall length variance for Taco Bell, located at 4910 Central Avenue and Starbucks at 4900 Central Avenue, because of the lack of a justifiable hardship and because granting the variance would not meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Fiorendino, that the Planning Commission recommends the City Council deny the 31.24 square foot area variance for wall signagefor the Taco Bell building located at 4910 Central Avenuefor lack of a justifiable hardship and because granting the variance would not meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. The following Resolutions of Denial will go before the City Council at the meeting of September 11, 2006. Erickson stated he would call to formally request that this be delayed till a later date than the September 11 th meeting. Sargent explained to the commission members that the City Council cannot act on new plans. If anything new is submitted it will need to go through the entire process just as these original plans did. The Council can only make decisions on the policies in place and whether to change them or not.

The applicant has created the hardship by purchasing a piece of property and attempting to place a commercial use on the property, which requires more land to meet the City's minimum requirements. There are no unique circumstances surrounding the parcel that differentiate themselves from other properties within the same zoning classification. 3. The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this Ordinance and has not been created by any person currently having legal interest in the property. The owner of the property has caused the stated hardship being used to justify the variance requests. The variance request is a direct result of the proposed orientation of the building, which the applicant has decided on. P.52 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 14 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 4. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Granting this variance request would allow for the placement of a building that is inconsistent with the Design Guidelines, which in turn are established to implement the Comprehensive Plan. For this reason, granting the variance would not be harmonious with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. 5. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. Granting the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare. The parking stall length variance would help accommodate pedestrians by providing more parking stalls on site. FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED, that said variance requests are denied based on the following: 1. Other site layout options would enable the parking stalls to comply with City Code. Therefore, there is no hardship to justify the variance. 2. Reorienting the building would allow more sign age on the building. Therefore, the applicant has caused the hardship and would not justify warranting the variance. Passed this _ day of September, 2006 Offered by: Seconded by: Roll Call: Ayes: Nays: Mayor Gary L.

Peterson Attest: Patricia Muscovitz, CMC Deputy City Clerk/Council Secretary P.56 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 18 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: REQUEST: 2006-0901 Darren Farwell, Savers 4849 Central Avenue Conditional Use Permit for Outdoor Storage At this time, Darren Farwell ("applicant") d/b/a Savers, is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow outdoor storage at the property located at 4849 Central A venue. The present use of the property is a strip mall, with Savers store as a tenant. Currently, Savers is utilizing a large storage container as well as a semi trailer to house excess materials that cannot be stored in the building. These outdoor enclosures are considered to be outdoor storage for the business and would need to comply with the Zoning Code. The Conditional Use Permit for outdoor storage would enable the applicant to continue using the storage containers as long as the containers are placed in a fenced in area meeting the requirements for outdoor storage in the City of Columbia Heights ("City"). Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan designates the property as Transit Oriented Development. The current use of the property is consistent with those uses found in transit-oriented developments. Therefore, the proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning Ordinance The property located at 4849 Central Avenue is zoned MXD, Mixed-Use Development, as are the properties to the south and east. The properties to the north are zoned commercial and residential, and the properties to the west are located in the City of Hilltop. The Zoning Code at Section 9.112 (D)(2) states that all conditional uses allowed in the commercially zoned parcels of the City are also allowed in the MXD District. Code Section 9,110 (E)(3)(h) allows for outdoor storage as a Conditional Use in the GB, General Business District. The Specific Development Standards at Section 9.107 state the criteria in which the outdoor storage shall be used. These standards state the following: a) The outdoor storage area shall be accessory to a commercial or industrial use. The storage area will be accessory to Savers, which is a commercial use. b) Outdoor storage within the public right-of-way is prohibited. The proposed location for the outdoor storage is located fully within the property boundaries. A condition will be implemented prohibiting storage on the public right-of-way. c) All outdoor storage areas shall meet the setback requirements for a principal structure in the zoning district in which the use is located. The Zoning Code states that the setback requirements shall maintain and enhance the character of the neighborhood in which the development is located. In this case, staff feels that it is appropriate to require the development to meet the same setback requirements for the GB, General Business District. The setback requirements for the GB District are as follows: Front yard: 15 feet Side yard: 0 feet Corner side yard: 15 feet Rear yard: 20 feet The site plan accompanying the CUP application indicates that these setback requirements would be met. P.57 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 19 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 d) Outdoor storage areas shall be located in rear yards or in the side yard behind the front building line of the principal structure. The site plan accompanying the CUP application indicates that the outdoor storage area will be located in the rear yard. e) The storage area shall be fenced and screened from adjacent uses and the public right-of- way. Required screening shall consist of a fence, wall, earth berming and/or vegetation no less than six (6) feet in height and no less than 80% opaque on a year round basis. The site plan accompanying the CUP application indicates that a 6-foot tall privacy fence will be erected around the perimeter of outdoor storage area. The fence will be required to be tall enough to screen all the materials to be stored. t) All goods, materials and equipment shall be stored on an impervious surface. The area in which the outdoor storage area will be located is current hard surfaced. A condition of approval will be included indicating that at all times, the outdoor storage materials shall be stored on an impervious surface. g) All goods, materials and equipment shall be stored in an orderly fashion, with access aisles of sufficient width to accommodate emergency vehicles as needed. h) The height of materials stored, excluding operable vehicles and equipment, shall not exceed the height of the screening provided. In this case, it appears as if the storage containers would exceed the 6-foot tall fence that is proposed for the CUP. The applicant would have to erect a fence that was tall enough to screen the storage containers. FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (H) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines 9 conditions that must be met in order for the City to grant a conditional use permit. They are as follows: (a) The use is one of the conditional uses listed for the zoning district in which the property is located, or is a substantially similar use as determined by the Zoning Administrator. Outdoor storage is specifically listed as a Conditional Use in GB, General Business District in the City of Columbia Heights. The MXD District allows all Conditional Uses that are listed within each commercially zoned district. (b) The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan. The intent of the Comprehensive Plan is met in this case. The land is designated for Transit- Oriented Development. This type of commercial use is consistent with the types of commercial uses in a transit-oriented development. P.58 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 20 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 (c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties. The outdoor storage is required for the business to operate. At no time shall any of the outdoor storage materials be hazardous or injurious in nature to the public welfare. A condition will be added to this effect. (d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity. The required setbacks for outdoor storage for the proposed CUP would help ensure that the uses of properties in the immediate vicinity would not be diminished in any capacity. ( e) The use will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a manner that is compatible with the appearance of the existing or intended character of the surrounding area. Outdoor storage in a commercially zoned area would be consistent with the character of the surrounding area. (f) The use and property upon which the use is located are adequately served by essential public facilities and services. The property located at 4849 Central Avenue meets this criterion. (g) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to minimize traffic congestion on the public streets and to provide for appropriate on-site circulation of traffic. The nature of outdoor storage does not and will not generate an excess of traffic, and will not create traffic congestion. Measures will be taken to ensure that on-site circulation is provided. (h) The use will not cause a negative cumulative effect, when considered in conjunction with the cumulative effect of other uses is the immediate vicinity. Being that outdoor storage is allowed in the General Business District with a CUP, it is assumed that there would be no negative cumulative effect of the proposed use on other uses in the immediate vicinity. (i) The use complies with all other applicable regulations for the district in which it is located. The proposed use will comply with all other applicable regulations for the district. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the Conditional Use Permitfor outdoor storage for the property located at 4849 Central Avenue, subject to conditions of approval outlined below. Questions from members: David Van Buckle, the District Mgr. for the MN stores was present to answer questions. Schmitt asked how many containers would be on site. Van Buckle responded there would be a permanent storage container and 1 semi trailer that is changed out every 3-7 days. P.59 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 21 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 Peterson questioned whether this was the best location for the storage containers, as it abuts a residential area and there is a drastic change in elevation on this side of the Saver's site. He felt this location would require a high fence to screen the containers from the residences. He asked about using the south side of the building for this use. He was told that there isn't enough room on the south side and that setback requirements could not be met. Thompson asked if there would be any drainage issues since some of the curb and gutter would be removed. If so, this will need to be dealt with. And he thought that a brick or block wall constructed around the containers would look nicer than fencing. Fiorendino questioned how high the fence would be. He was told that the fencing would need to screen the storage containers and that the containers cannot be higher than the fencing or screening. The Public Hearing was Opened. No one wished to comment. The Public Hearing was closed. Motion by Fiorendino, seconded bySchmitt, that the Planning Commission recommends the City Council approve the Conditional Use Permit for outdoor storage, subject to certain 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 outdoor storage shall be located within the setback requirements of the GB, General Business District. 2. There shall be no outdoor storage of materials located on the public right-of-way. 3. There shall be no storage of hazardous materials or other materials that may be injurious to the general welfare of the public. 4. The area used for outdoor storage shall be surfaced with a hard surface material at all times, as approved by the City Engineer. 5. Any type of fence allowed by City Ordinance, no less than 6 feet high and 80% opaque shall screen the outdoor storage area. 6. All goods, materials and equipment shall be stored in an orderly fashion, with access aisles of sufficient width to accommodate emergency vehicles as needed. The height of materials stored, excluding operable vehicles and equipment, shall not exceed the height of the screening provided. Ayes-Thompson, Fiorendino, Szurek, Schmitt Nay-Peterson.

The present use ofthe property is a mechanics shop, requiring the need for storage of vehicle-related items. The current tenant currently stores the excess vehicles parts, such as batteries, engine blocks, tires, car frames, and the like in the open towards the side and rear of the property. The proposed CUP would allow the tenant to store the materials needed for the business behind a privacy fence and out of public view. This property has had numerous City Code violations in the past several years. The City has received many complaints regarding the general upkeep of the property, including the storage of outdoor materials, junk vehicles and other items on the site. The proposed CUP would be a positive step in trying to make the property a more aesthetically appealing piece ofland. Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan designates the property as medium density residential. The property, however, is zoned GB, General Business. The proposal is consistent with the intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan for commercially zoned properties. Zoning Ordinance The property located at 5101 University Avenue is zoned GB, General Business as are the properties to the north and south. The properties to the east are zoned R-2A, One and Two Family Residential, and the properties to the west are located in the City of Fridley. The Zoning Code at Section 9.110 (E)(3) allows for outdoor storage as a Conditional Use. The Specific Development Standards at Section 9.1 07 state the criteria in which the outdoor storage shall be used. These standards state the following: a) The outdoor storage area shall be accessory to a commercial or industrial use. The storage area will be accessory to AAs Automotive, Inc." which is a commercial use. b) Outdoor storage within the public right-of-way is prohibited. The proposed location for the outdoor storage is located fully within the property boundaries. A condition will be implemented prohibiting storage on the public right-of-way. c) All outdoor storage areas shall meet the setback requirements for a principal structure in the zoning district in which the use is located. The setback requirements for the GB District are as follows: Front yard: 15 feet Side yard: 0 feet Corner side yard: 15 feet Rear yard: 20 feet The site plan accompanying the CUP application indicates that these setback requirements would be met. P.63 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 25 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 d) Outdoor storage areas shall be located in rear yards or in the side yard behind the front building line of the principal structure. The site plan accompanying the CUP application indicates that the outdoor storage area will be located in the side and rear yards. e) The storage area shall be fenced and screened from adjacent uses and the public right-of-way. Required screening shall consist of a fence, wall, earth berming and/or vegetation no less than six (6) feet in height and no less than 80% opaque on a year round basis.

(b) The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan. The intent of the Comprehensive Plan is to promote a consistent usage of land with what is currently provided. Although the Comprehensive Plan guides this area for medium density residential, the underlying zoning is for a commercial use. Outdoor storage is a permitted conditional use in the GB District, causing the use to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. (c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties. The outdoor storage is required for the business to operate. The nature of the business requires some of the outdoor storage materials to be compatible with a mechanics shop. At no time shall any of the outdoor storage material be hazardous or injurious in nature to the public welfare. A condition will be added to this effect. (d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity. The required setbacks for outdoor storage for the proposed CUP would help ensure that the uses of properties in the immediate vicinity would not be diminished in any capacity.

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the Conditional Use Permitfor outdoor storage for the property located at 5101 University Avenue, subject to conditions of approval outlined in the motion included in the agenda packets. Questions by Members: Peterson wanted clarification as to who the applicant is-the owner, or the tenant? Sargent explained that the tenant is asking for the Conditional Use Permit with the owners knowledge and support due to the number of complaints that have been received on this property. Peterson questioned whether there would be two fences on the east side of the property along the alley since there is already one that runs the entire length ofthe alley. Sargent stated the fencing requirement is for a fence that is a minimum height of 6 ft. around the perimeter of the hard surface storage area, not necessarily to the property line and is not sure whether it would be tied into the existing one or if it would be a separate fence. Peterson thought it should be a condition that two fences not be allowed as it would be a catch all of garbage and weeds between the two. Peterson was also concerned that if the fencing were approved, that more unsightly storage items might be added to the site. He didn't think the fencing was adequate to screen the storage items from the neighbors in the apartment building next door. Sargent responded that the fencing does meet the minimum requirements of the Conditional Use Permit being requested as it screens from Public view the items being stored. He went on to explain that puhlic view is what is seen from 51 51 Avenue and from P.65 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 27 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 University Avenue, not the 3rd floor of an apartment next door. He reminded the members that if the conditions listed aren't met, the CUP is violated. He believes the tenant/owners are making an attempt to clean up the sight and this is a step in the right direction. He also explained that the property owners have rights to use their property, and that those rights cannot be obstructed. Fiorendino asked why autos are not included in the "storage cannot exceed the height of the fence". Sargent explained that many trucks or vehicles that may be having work done on them would be higher than 6 feet. But the fencing would screen most of the vehicles and the miscellaneous storage kept on site. Thompson questioned whether the plan to remove an existing retaining wall had been reviewed by the City Engineer. Sargent stated it had been reviewed by the City Engineer, the Bldg. Official and the Fire Dept. and no one had an issue with it. Schmitt asked what would prohibit this from being used as a junk yard? Sargent explained that the materials that are stored on site would have to be useful to an auto repair business. If other items are stored, it would violate the CUP and it would be revoked. Sargent also stated he thought it would be a good idea to add the wording "open storage" to condition #4, which would mean all tires have to be in an enclosed container or cage. It was noted that the storage and/or containers cannot exceed the height of the fencing. The Public Hearing was opened. Jim Trapp and Glenn Miske, owners of the property for 25 years were present. Trapp told the members he would like to use cedar fencing all the way around the perimeter as submitted. He will make it whatever height the City wants and he will see that the tires are enclosed in an 8 foot storage container. They are anxious to get the site cleaned up and back into compliance. It is their hope that sometime in the future they may get a license for auto sales again. He also informed members that the present fence along the alley runs the entire block and is for safety so no one steps off the high bank. Peterson questioned what the height limit was for non-residential fences. Sargent stated the fencing can't be more than 8 ft in height per the Zoning Code. And any fencing over 6 ft in height would require a building permit. If that is the case, then the type of fencing and its location would need to be approved by staff before the permit could be issued. Mitchell Watson, of 5056 4th St. has concerns about this request He brought in pictures ofthe site that were taken 9/312006. Although, he's happy the current tenants want to improve the property, he has several issues he'd like addressed. 1. It has been unsightly for quite some time, and the fencing will only encourage them to add items to be stored and thus, would make it worse. 2. He opposes it for safety reasons. Anyone getting into the area, including children, could get hurt. 3. He has environmental concerns due to hazardous substances that may be stored there such as: gas, oil, grease, solvents, batteries, tires, etc. He believes these contaminants will get into the P.66 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 28 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 ground water, the storm sewer system, and soil. How will they be contained? And he believes the conditions fail to define what can or cannot be stored there. And he wondered who would be responsible for policing it. 4. He believes the lack of concern for how the property has looked for years is testimony of how the outdoor storage will be handled in the fhture. He asked the commission to deny the request. David Sob erg, of 51 00 4th 8t. stated he has been mowing and trimming along that alley fence for years since no one maintains it from the property in question. He is concerned as to who will maintain additional fencing on the property if it is added. Donna Running of 5048 4th St agrees with Mr. Watson. She says it has been a neighborhood eyesore for years and wants something done to clean it up. She wondered why it has taken so long. Jay Barta, the current tenant, said he is making every effort to clean up the sight. The old tenant left behind about 25 vehicles he has had to deal with. He has taken care of any hazardous materials and they are no longer stored outside. He will make sure the tires are stored in containers. He assured the members that the Police come through the site about once a week and have issued him 10-20 citations thus far. Barta stated he wanted to install the north and south fence that would connect to the current alley fence. Sargent said that if the pictures and measurements supplied by Mr. Watson were correct, and the fence is only 5 feet in height, that Mr. Barta would need to replace that fencing also. The requirement is to have a minimum fence height of 6 feet and that it is a consistent height around the perimeter. Barta questioned whether the fence is the City's or the property owners along the aiiey. This wiii be checked out before the section along the alley is replaced. Peterson would like more information on the fencing before making a decision. He was concerned with how the site will be used ifthe fencing is approved. He doesn't want to make the situation worse for the neighbors. He knows it is the commission's responsibility to uphold the code, but there are some gray areas on how to interpret the code, in his opinion. Szurek stated the request does meet the conditions that have been set in place by the governing body. If the conditions meet the requirements, then there is no reason to deny. The members cannot decide if they like the business or not, or ifthey necessarily approve of the use. They must make their decision based on whether it meets the guidelines in place, and vote accordingly. Fiorendino agreed that if the conditions are met, it should be approved. In order to deny the request there must be grounds. Sargent reminded the members that if the conditions are not upheld, the CUP can be revoked. Peterson then clarified that if residents had concerns they should go to the City Council who is the governing body. The City Council is the body that sets or changes policies. The Public Hearing was closed.

Passed this _ day of September 200_ Offered by: Seconded by: Roll Call: Ayes: Nays: Mayor Gary L. Peterson Attest: Patricia Muscovitz, CMC Deputy City Clerk/Council Secretary CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: REQUEST: 2006-0903 Bonnie Stanley 3900 Main Street 5-foot side yard setback variance, 17.5-foot corner side yard setback variance At this time, Bonnie Stanley is requesting two (2) variances too facilitate the construction of a new deck for her home located at 3900 Main Street. The first is a 5-foot side yard setback variance per Code Section 9.109 (C), and the second is a 17.5-foot comer side yard setback variance per Code Section 9.109 (C). COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan guides this area towards Low Density Residential, and the current use is a single-family residence. The use is consistent with the types of uses found in Low Density classifications. The proposal will include the construction of deck for the home, which is also consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. P.70 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 32 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 ZONING CODE The property is zoned R-3, Limited Multiple Family Residential District, as are the properties to the north, east, and south. The properties to the west are zoned I, Industrial. The R-3 District requires the following minimum setback requirements: Front yard: 30 feet Side yard: 20 feet Comer side yard: 30 feet Rear yard: 25 feet The applicant's lot is located on the comer of 39th Avenue NE and Main Street and is 50 feet in width. Any improvement to the property would have to meet the minimum side yard setback of 20 feet and the minimum comer side yard setback of 30 feet. Given this, the current setback requirements would make it impossible for the applicant to building anything on her property without first obtaining a variance to do so. FINDINGS OF FACT The following are required findings that the City Council must make before approving a variance request in the City of Columbia Heights: 1. Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape. configuration. topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this article would cause undue hardship. The hardship for this property is that the property is not wide enough to accommodate any type of new construction. The minimum setback requirements imposed by the Zoning Code disallow the applicant to construct anything on the property. For this reason, the applicant is unable to use her land in the same manner as other residents in the R-3 District. 2. The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. The subject parcel is a comer lot on 50-foot wide lot. The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to all comer lots of this dimension in the R-3 District. 3. The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this article and has not been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property. The provisions of the Zoning Code require setback standards that are too extreme for this particular piece of property. The applicant has not created the hardship being used to justify the granting of the variance requests. 4. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the Comprehensive Plan for this area is to promote Low Density Residential housing. Improvements on a preexisting low-density residence are completely consistent with the purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. P.71 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 33 SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 5. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. Granting these variance requests would support the type of housing that the Comprehensive Plan is gearing towards. The addition of a deck to the residence located at 3900 Main Street would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare in any way. CONCLUSION After reviewing this variance application, Staff has come to the conclusion that the setback requirements for the R-3 District pertaining to one and two family dwellings may be too restrictive. Staff will be reviewing the setback requirements and conducting a survey of all the R-3 zoned parcels within the City. Staffwill focus on the single and two family uses throughout the R-3 District to determine if a change in the Zoning Code will be necessary. Granting the applicant's variance requests would allow the applicant to use her property in the same fashion as any other single-family dwelling owners can utilize theirs. Staff will recommend approval of the variance requests for these reasons. Questions from Members: Fiorendino asked for the definition of a side yard. Sargent explained this and how the current setbacks affect all corner lots that are 40' -50' in width in the R3 district. He said it is something that will need to be changed when the Zoning Code is amended, as it makes it impossible to build on these lots under the current requirements. The Public Hearing was opened. Noone wished to comment. The Public Hearing was closed. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Thompson, that the Planning Commission recommend the City Council approve 5-foot side yard setback variance and the 17.5-foot corner side yard setback variance for the construction of a deck located at 3900 Main Street with the following condition: 1. All application materials, maps, drawings and other descriptive information submitted with this application shall become part of the permit. All ayes. MOTION PASSED.

Columbia Heights, MN 55421 RE: Stone Wall Construction - Extra Costs Huset Parkway Area Improvements Dear Kevin, This letter is a follow-up to our meeting on February 1,2006. I am sending you the explanation and breakdown for the additional reimbursement we are requesting associated with the stone walls in the round-about at Jefferson and 39th. You and I discussed the fact that the bid proposal has an error in the quantity listed for bid item 56 - Stone Wall. The contract quantity listed is 85 square feet, which is enough for one wall. There are four walls shown on the plans. SEH, the engineer for the project, has an error in their bid sheet quantity which should have listed 340 square feet for the project. We have also discussed the fact that we too, made an error in our bid for this item. We received two quotes from sub-contractors to perform the work. Both quotes were from modular block wall contractors; one was $30.00/sf and the other was $24.00/sf Both contractors pulled their bids stating they hadn't seen plans and their prices were based on using modular blocks to build the walls. I am enclosing copies of their proposals \vith this request. Our bid item 56 is $35.00 per square foot. I have obtained three prices for the walls, and include copies of the quotes for this item: Northland Concrete Gresser Concrete Jay Brothers $305.00/sf $385.00/sf $350.00/sf $25,925.001 ea $32,725.00/ea $29,750.00Iea Neither Northland nor Gresser include excavation or backfill in their proposals. Following is an itemized breakdown of Northland Concrete's price: Excavation & Backfill $1,200.00Iea Concrete Footing Labor Materials 1,056.00 433.00 Rebar labor & materials 740.00 P.97 2 Concrete WaUs Labor Materials 1,587.00 3,391.00 Limestone Veneer Labor Materials 6,546.00 3,872.00 Limestone Cap Labor Materials 1,454.00 6,558.00 Stone Washing 338.00 5% Markup on subs 1,300.00 TOTAL COST $28,575.00/each $336.18/square foot Weare the victim of our own error and are willing to stand by our quoted price for the first 85 square feet. However, we cannot afford to take the hit for the SEH quantity error. ARTICLE 11.03.D of the General Conditions is designed to prevent UNJUST ENRICHMENT by both the Owner and Contractor. In accordance with this ARTICLE, we request an adjustment to Unit Price 56 - Stone Walls to cover the three additional walls omitted in the original proposal. We request that the unit price be adjusted from $35.00 per square foot to $336.00, or an additional $301.00 for the additional 255 square feet. The cost for this error is 255/sfx $336.00/sffor a total of$85,680.00. I am enclosing copies of the original quotes for this item that we had at bid time. The two contractors that quoted the work rescinded their quotes after the bid. I am also enclosing copies of the three quotes that we recently received for the construction 'of the stone walls, including a breakdown of the costs submitted by NortWand Concrete. We propose to use Northland Concrete to build the stone walls as well as the other monuments and signs included in this bid package. If you have any questions regarding this, please give me a call. Sincerely, ~TT. AL9fE COMPANIES, INC W#t/j :)fI~U Larry Langer, P .E.

(f /1 it - setback variance for a deck located at 3900 JS ( r '-'7 Main St. Resolution 2006-139. M f S b 11 2006 BACKGROUND: At this time, Bonnie Stanley is requesting two (2) variances to facilitate the construction of a new deck for her home located at 3900 Main Street. The first is a 5-foot side yard setback variance, and the second is a 17.5-foot comer side yard setback variance. The Comprehensive Plan guides this area towards Low Density Residential, and the current use is a single-family residence. The use is consistent with the types of uses found in Low Density classifications. The proposal will include the construction of deck for the home, which is also consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant's lot is located on the comer of 39th Avenue NE and Main Street and is 50 feet in width. Any improvement to the property would have to meet the minimum side yard setback of 20 feet and the minimum comer side yard setback of30 feet. Given this, the current setback requirements would make it impossible for the applicant to building anything on her property without first obtaining a variance to do so. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 6, 2006 and recommended that the City Council approve Conditional Use Permit based on the stated conditions, with a 5-0 vote. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2006-139, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to adopt Resolution No. 2006-139, approving the 5-foot side yard setback variance and the 17.5- foot comer side yard setback variance for the construction of a new deck at 3900 Main Street, subject to the conditions stated in the Resolution.

Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel ofland involved, where strict adherence to the provisions of this Ordinance would cause undue hardship. 2. The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the specific parcel ofland involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. 3. The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this Ordinance and has not been created by any person currently having legal interest in the property. 4. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. 5.

Passed this _ day of September 2005 Offered by: Seconded by: Roll Call: Ayes: Nays: Mayor Gary L. Peterson Attest: Patricia Muscovitz, CMC Deputy City Clerk/Council Secretary P.l04 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PLANNING REPORT CASE NUMBER: 2006-0903 DATE: September 6, 2006 TO: Columbia Heights Planning Commission APPLICANT: Bonnie Stanley LOCATION: 3900 Main Street REQUEST: 5-foot side yard setback variance, 17.5-foot corner side yard setback variance PREPARED BY: Jeff Sargent, City Planner INTRODUCTION At this time, Bonnie Stanley is requesting two (2) variances to facilitate the construction of a new deck for her home located at 3900 Main Street. The first is a 5-foot side yard setback variance per Code Section 9.109 (C), and the second is a 17.5-foot corner side yard setback variance per Code Section 9.109 (C). COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan guides this area towards Low Density Residential, and the current use is a single-family residence. The use is consistent with the types of uses found in Low Density classifications. The proposal will include the construction of deck for the home, which is also consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. ZONING CODE The property is zoned R-3, Limited Multiple Family Residential District, as are the properties to the north, east, and south. The properties to the west are zoned I, Industrial. The R-3 District requires the following minimum setback requirements: Front yard: Side yard: Corner side yard: Rear yard: 30 feet 20 feet 30 feet 25 feet P.lDS City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission Stanley Residence, Variance September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0903 The applicant's lot is located on the corner of 39th Avenue NE and Main Street and is 50 feet in width. Any improvement to the property would have to meet the minimum side yard setback of 20 feet and the minimum corner side yard setback of 30 feet. Given this, the current setback requirements would make it impossible for the applicant to building anything on her property without first obtaining a variance to do so. FINDINGS OF FACT The following are required findings that the City Council must make before approving a variance request in the City of Columbia Heights: 1. Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this article would cause undue hardship. The hardship for this property is that the property is not wide enough to accommodate any type of new construction. The minimum setback requirements imposed by the Zoning Code disallow the applicant to construct anything on the property. For this reason, the applicant is unable to use her land in the same manner as other residents in the R-3 District. 2. The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. The subject parcel is a comer lot on 50-foot wide lot. The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to all comer lots of this dimension in the R-3 District. 3. The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this article and has not been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property. The provisions of the Zoning Code require setback standards that are too extreme for this particular piece of property. The applicant has not created the hardship being used to justify the granting of the variance requests. 4. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the Comprehensive Plan for this area is to promote Low Density Residential housing. Improvements on a preexisting low-density residence are completely consistent with the purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. 5. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. P.l06 Page 2 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission Stanley Residence, Variance September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0903 Granting these variance requests would support the type of housing that the Comprehensive Plan is gearing towards. The addition of a deck to the residence located at 3900 Main Street would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare in any way. CONCLUSION After reviewing this variance application, Staff has come to the conclusion that the setback requirements for the R-3 District pertaining to one and two family dwellings may be too restrictive. Staff will be reviewing the setback requirements and conducting a survey of all the R-3 zoned parcels within the City. Staff will focus on the single and two family uses throughout the R-3 District to determine if a change in the Zoning Code will be necessary. Granting the applicant's variance requests would allow the applicant to use her property in the same fashion as any other single-family dwelling owners can utilize theirs. Staff will recommend approval of the variance requests for these reasons. Recommendation Motion: That the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve 5-foot side yard setback variance and the 17.5-foot corner side yard setback variance for the construction of a deck located at 3900 Main Street with the following condition: 1. All application materials, maps, drawings and other descriptive information submitted with this application shall become part of the permit. Attachments: Draft resolution, location map, site plan.

This leaves our lot unbuildable and unimprovable, as it is 50 feet wide. Last year, we completed remodeling - which included a patio door off ofthe kitchen. We'd now like to add a deck. The deck will be less than the house width and would allow access/egress from the patio door. See attached drawings.

Hanse DATE: 9/6/06 ITEM: RESOLUTION SUPORTING Mn/DOT CONSIDERATION OF A COST SHARING MUNICIPAL AGREEMENT FOR THE REHABILITATION OF THE UNIVERSITY SERVICE DRIVE ON T.H. 47, SOUTH OF I 45TH AVENUE Background: At the February 2th, 2006 meeting, the City Council authorized street rehabilitation for the University Service Drive, between 45th and 53rd Avenues. The Council also previously authorized the preparation of a feasibility report for street rehabilitation of the segment from 40th to 45th A venues. Both segments are (now) recommended for a partial reconstruction or mill and overlay to address the deficient bituminous surface. Analysis/Conel usions: Seal coating the University Service Drive from 45th to 53rd was programmed for 2006, with assessments and Municipal State Aid proposed as funding sources. The work was abandoned following Public Works' more detailed review of the pavement conditions (during seal coat preparations) and a higher level of rehabilitation is recommended. Subsequently, staff held a public meeting inviting all property owners from 40th to 53rd for input and review of the University Service Drive corridor. Public comments included the poor condition of the road, new fencing, a walking path, screening from TH 47, landscaping and vehicle speeds due to the long, straight segment lengths. Access closure on the south side of 40th Avenue was also discussed, which MnDOT has previously commented is too close to TH 47 and would then match the road closures on the south side of 40th Avenue. To fund the majority of the improvements to address the property owner concerns identified above, an application to the MnDOT Municipal Agreement Program needs to be made by October 1 st. This Program is a statewide, competitive award program by Mn/DOT to assist in funding City managed projects in State right-of-ways. By procedure, Mn/DOT requires a resolution approved by the City Council that provides that if municipal agreement funds are awarded, the City will enter into an agreement with the State for a cost sharing municipal agreement. It is then the City's responsibility for project design and contract administration. It is staffs recommendation to apply for the maximum grant funding ($550,000) through the Municipal Agreements Program as the primary fileans offunding. Awards \v111 be made in January of2007, for a 2007 construction project. Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2006-134 there being ample copies available to the public. Recommended Motion: Move to approve and adopt Resolution No. 2006-134 supporting Mn/DOT consideration of a cost sharing Municipal Agreement for the street rehabilitation of the University Service Drive on T.H. 47, south of 45th Avenue.

Case #2006-0901 BACKGROUND: BY: Jeff Sargent, City Planner DATE: September 7, 2006Js BX: ) I G.{)~~ I ~~'u At this time, Darren Farwell, d/b/a Savers, is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow outdoor storage at the property located at 4849 Central Avenue. The present use of the property is a strip mall, with Savers store as a tenant. Currently, Savers is utilizing a large storage container as well as a semi trailer to house excess materials that cannot be stored in the building. These outdoor enclosures are considered to be outdoor storage for the business and would need to comply with the Zoning Code. The Conditional Use Permit for outdoor storage would enable the applicant to continue using the storage containers as long as the containers are placed in a fenced in area meeting the requirements for outdoor storage in the City of Columbia Heights. The Comprehensive Plan designates the property as Transit Oriented Development. The current use of the property is consistent with those uses found in transit-oriented developments. Therefore, the proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The property located at 4849 Central Avenue is zoned MXD, Mixed-Use Development, as are the properties to the south and east. The properties to the north are zoned commercial and residential, and the properties to the west are located in the City of Hilltop. The Zoning Code at Section 9.112 (D)(2) states that all conditional uses allowed in the commercially zoned parcels of the City are also allowed in the MXD District. Code Section 9,110 (E)(3)(h) allows for outdoor storage as a Conditional Use in the GB, General Business District. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 6, 2006 and recommended that the City Council approve Conditional Use Permit based on the stated conditions, with a 4-1 vote. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2006-137, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to adopt Resolution No. 2006-137, permitting outdoor storage for the business located at 4849 Central Avenue, subject to the conditions stated in the Resolution. A h R I .

The present use of the property is a strip mall, with Savers store as a tenant. Currently, Savers is utilizing a large storage container as well as a semi trailer to house excess materials that cannot be stored in the building. These outdoor enclosures are considered to be outdoor storage for the business and would need to comply with the Zoning Code. The Conditional Use Permit for outdoor storage would enable the applicant to continue using the storage containers as long as the containers are placed in a fenced in area meeting the requirements for outdoor storage in the City of Columbia Heights ("City"). Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan designates the property as Transit Oriented Development. The current use of the property is consistent with those uses found in transit-oriented developments. Therefore, the proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning Ordinance The property located at 4849 Central Avenue is zoned MXD, Mixed-Use Development, as are the properties to the south and east. The properties to the north are zoned commercial and residential, and the properties to the west are located in the City of Hilltop. The Zoning Code at Section 9.112 (0)(2) states that all conditional uses allowed in the commercially zoned parcels of the City are also allowed in the MXD District. Code Section 9,110 (E)(3)(h) allows for outdoor storage as a Conditional Use P.193 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission Savers-Conditional Use Permit September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0901 in the GB, General Business District. The Specific Development Standards at Section 9.107 state the criteria in which the outdoor storage shall be used. These standards state the following: a) The outdoor storage area shall be accessory to a commercial or industrial use. The storage area will be accessory to Savers, which is a commercial use. b) Outdoor storage within the public right-of-way is prohibited. The proposed location for the outdoor storage is located fully within the property boundaries. A condition will be implemented prohibiting storage on the public right-of-way. c) All outdoor storage areas shall meet the setback requirements for a principal structure in the zoning district in which the use is located. The Zoning Code states that the setback requirements shall maintain and enhance the character of the neighborhood in which the development is located. In this case, staff feels that it is appropriate to require the development to meet the same setback requirements for the GB, General Business District. The setback requirements for the GB District are as follows: Front yard: Side yard: Comer side yard: Rear yard: 15 feet o feet 15 feet 20 feet The site plan accompanying the CUP application indicates that these setback requirements would be met. d) Outdoor storage areas shall be located in rear yards or in the side yard behind the front building line of the principal structure. The site plan accompanying the CUP application indicates that the outdoor storage area will be located in the rear yard. e) The storage area shall be fenced and screened from adjacent uses and the public right-of-way. Required screening shall consist of a fence, wall, earth berming and/or vegetation no less than six (6) feet in height and no less than 80% opaque on a year round basis. The site plan accompanying the CUP application indicates that a 6-foot tall privacy fence will be erected around the perimeter of outdoor storage area. The P.194 Page 2 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission Savers-Conditional Use Permit September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0901 fence will be required to be tall enough to screen all the materials to be stored. f) All goods, materials and equipment shall be stored on an impervious surface. The area in which the outdoor storage area will be located is current hard surfaced. A condition of approval will be included indicating that at all times, the outdoor storage materials shall be stored on an impervious surface. g) All goods, materials and equipment shall be stored in an orderly fashion, with access aisles of sufficient width to accommodate emergency vehicles as needed. h) The height of materials stored, excluding operable vehicles and equipment, shall not exceed the height of the screening provided. In this case, it appears as if the storage containers would exceed the 6-foot tall fence that is proposed for the CUP. The applicant would have to erect a fence that was tall enough to screen the storage containers. FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (H) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines 9 conditions that must be met in order for the City to grant a conditional use permit. They are as follows: (a) The use is one of the conditional uses listed for the zoning district in which the property is located, or is a substantially similar use as determined by the Zoning Administrator. Outdoor storage is specifically listed as a Conditional Use in GB, General Business District in the City of Columbia Heights. The MXD District allows all Conditional Uses that are listed within each commercially zoned district. (b) The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan. The intent of the Comprehensive Plan is met in this case. The land is designated for Transit-Oriented Development. This type of commercial use is consistent with the types of commercial uses in a transit-oriented development. (c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties. P.195 Page 3 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission Savers-Conditional Use Permit September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0901 The outdoor storage is required for the business to operate. At no time shall any of the outdoor storage materials be hazardous or injurious in nature to the public welfare. A condition will be added to this effect. (d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity. The required setbacks for outdoor storage for the proposed CUP would help ensure that the uses of properties in the immediate vicinity would not be diminished in any capacity. (e) The use will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a manner that is compatible with the appearance of the existing or intended character of the surrounding area. Outdoor storage in a commercially zoned area would be consistent with the character of the surrounding area. (f) The use and property upon which the use is located are adequately served by essential public facilities and services. The property located at 4849 Central A venue meets this criterion. (g) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to minimize traffic congestion on the public streets and to provide for appropriate on-site circulation of traffic. The nature of outdoor storage does not and will not generate an excess of traffic, and will not create traffic congestion. Measures will be taken to ensure that on-site circulation is provided. (h) The use will not cause a negative cumulative effect, when considered in conjunction with the cumulative effect of other uses is the immediate vicinity. Being that outdoor storage is allowed in the General Business District with a CUP, it is assumed that there would be no negative cumulative effect of the proposed use on other uses in the immediate vicinity. (i) The use complies with all other applicable regulations for the district in which it is located. The proposed use will comply with all other applicable regulations for the district. P.196 Page 4 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission Savers-Conditional Use Permit September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0901 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the Conditional Use Permit for outdoor storage for the property located at 4849 Central Avenue, subject to conditions of approval outlined below.

VillagePValeurs August 2, 2006 Sent Via Federal Express Mr. Jeff Sargent City of Columbia Heights 590 40th Avenue N.E. Columbia Heights, Minnesota 55421 RE: Savers #1029 4849 Central Ave. N.E., Columbia Heights, Minnesota Dear Jeff: In an effort to try and better our business practice in the community of Columbia Heights, Savers requests approval to place a trailer and a storage container at our above referenced store. These are critical pieces in our business and allow Savers to better provide for its customers and it helps keep clothing from going to landfills. The trailer only takes up about five (5) parking stalls and is strategically located on the side of the building to minimize interference with customer parking and store visibility. The trailer is 44' long and 8' wide and 9' high (please see the attached drawing). Clothing that doesn't sell in our store is compacted into large bails and sent to third world countries. This keeps the material from filling up our land fills. Bails weigh in excess of 1000 Ibs.. The full trailer is replaced with and empty trailer approximately every 7 days. The trailer is an integral component in our recycling practice. An identical practice is used at all our 207 stores across the US and Canada The storage container takes up about five (5) parking stalls and is also located along side the building. The storage container is important because it helps Savers keep an even flow of product in our store. The storage container is 40' long and 8' wide and 8' high (please see the attached drawing). This as well is a very important piece to out stores operation. Savers has been a tenant of the Shopping Center since 1989, and we pride ourselves on the many benefits we provide to the community. Our primary charity is ARC of Greater Twin Cities, formerly HARC. Through the community's donations of clothing and household goods they help keep the land fills empty and also help Savers support several local charity's and not for profit organizations. Should there be issues that arise with this trailer we will work to correct them within 24 hours of notice.

Case #2006-0902 BACKGROUND: BY: Jeff Sargent, City Planner DATE: September 7, 2006 dS At this time, James Trapp d/b/a MAT Propoerties is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow outdoor storage for his property located at 5101 University Avenue. The present use of the property is a mechanics shop, requiring the need for storage of vehicle-related items. The current tenant currently stores the excess vehicles parts, such as batteries, engine blocks, tires, car frames, and the like in the open towards the side and rear of the property. The proposed CUP would allow the tenant to store the materials needed for the business behind a privacy fence and out of public view. This property has had numerous City Code violations in the past several years. The City has received many complaints regarding the general upkeep of the property, including the storage of outdoor materials, junk vehicles and other items on the site. The proposed CUP would be a positive step in trying to make the property a more aesthetically appealing piece of land. The Comprehensive Plan designates the property as medium density residential. The property, however, is zoned GB, General Business. The proposal is consistent with the intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan for commercially zoned properties. The property located at 5101 University Avenue is zoned GB, General Business as are the properties to the north and south. The properties to the east are zoned R-2A, One and Two Family Residential, and the properties to the west are located in the City of Fridley. The Zoning Code at Section 9.110 (E)(3) allows for outdoor storage as a Conditional Use. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 6, 2006 and recommended that the City Council approve Conditional Use Permit based on the stated conditions, with a 4-1 vote. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2006-138, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to adopt Resolution No. 2006-138, permitting outdoor storage for the business located at 5101 University Avenue, subject to the conditions stated in the Resolution. A h R I . M 2006 J 38 PI .

The present use of the property is a mechanics shop, requiring the need for storage of vehicle-related items. The current tenant currently stores the excess vehicles parts, such as batteries, engine blocks, tires, car frames, and the like in the open towards the side and rear of the property. The proposed CUP would allow the tenant to store the materials needed for the business behind a privacy fence and out of public view.

The City has received many complaints regarding the general upkeep of the property, including the storage of outdoor materials, junk vehicles and other items on the site. The proposed CUP would be a positive step in trying to make the property a more aesthetically appealing piece of land. Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan designates the property as medium density residential. The property, however, is zoned GB, General Business. The proposal is consistent with the intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan for commercially zoned properties. Zoning Ordinance The property located at 5101 University Avenue is zoned GB, General Business as are the properties to the north and south. The properties to the east are zoned R-2A, One and Two Family Residential, and the properties to the west are located in the City of P.211 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission MAT Properties-Conditional Use Permit September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0902 Fridley. The Zoning Code at Section 9.110 (E)(3) allows for outdoor storage as a Conditional Use. The Specific Development Standards at Section 9.107 state the criteria in which the outdoor storage shall be used. These standards state the following: a) The outdoor storage area shall be accessory to a commercial or industrial use. The storage area will be accessory to AAs Automotive, Inc." which is a commercial use. b) Outdoor storage within the public right-of-way is prohibited. The proposed location for the outdoor storage is located fully within the property boundaries. A condition will be implemented prohibiting storage on the public right-of-way. c) All outdoor storage areas shall meet the setback requirements for a principal structure in the zoning district in which the use is located. The setback requirements for the GB District are as follows: Front yard: Side yard: Comer side yard: Rear yard: 15 feet o feet 15 feet 20 feet The site plan accompanying the CUP application indicates that these setback requirements would be met. d) Outdoor storage areas shall be located in rear yards or in the side yard behind the front building line of the principal structure. The site plan accompanying the CUP application indicates that the outdoor storage area will be located in the side and rear yards. e) The storage area shall be fenced and screened from adjacent uses and the public right-of-way. Required screening shall consist of a fence, wall, earth berming and/or vegetation no less than six (6) feet in height and no less than 80% opaque on a year round basis. The site plan accompanying the CUP application indicates that a 6-foot tall privacy fence will be erected around the perimeter of outdoor storage area. f) All goods, materials and equipment shall be stored on an impervious surface. P.212 Page 2 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission MAT Properties-Conditional Use Permit September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0902 The area in which the outdoor storage area will be located is current hard surfaced. A condition of approval will be included indicating that at all times, the outdoor storage materials shall be stored on an impervious surface. g) All goods, materials and equipment shall be stored in an orderly fashion, with access aisles of sufficient width to accommodate emergency vehicles as needed. h) The height of materials stored, excluding operable vehicles and equipment, shall not exceed the height of the screening provided. FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (H) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines 9 conditions that must be met in order for the City to grant a conditional use permit. They are as follows: (a) The use is one of the conditional uses listed for the zoning district in which the property is located, or is a substantially similar use as determined by the Zoning Administrator. Outdoor storage is specifically listed as a Conditional Use in GB, General Business District in the City of Columbia Heights. (b) The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan. The intent of the Comprehensive Plan is to promote a consistent usage of land with what is currently provided. Although the Comprehensive Plan guides this area for medium density residential, the underlying zoning is for a commercial use. Outdoor storage is a permitted conditional use in the GB District, causing the use to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. (c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties. The outdoor storage is required for the business to operate. The nature of the business requires some of the outdoor storage materials to be compatible with a mechanics shop. At no time shall any of the outdoor storage material be hazardous or injurious in nature to the public welfare. A condition will be added to this effect. (d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity. P.213 Page 3 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission MAT Properties-Conditional Use Permit September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0902 The required setbacks for outdoor storage for the proposed CUP would help ensure that the uses of properties in the immediate vicinity would not be diminished in any capacity. (e) The use will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a manner that is compatible with the appearance of the existing or intended character of the surrounding area. Outdoor storage in a commercially zoned area would be consistent with the character of the surrounding area, which is zoned commercial to the north and south. (f) The use and property upon which the use is located are adequately served by essential public facilities and services. The property located at 5101 University Avenue meets this criterion. (g) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to minimize traffic congestion on the public streets and to provide for appropriate on-site circulation of traffic. The nature of outdoor storage does not and will not generate an excess of traffic, and will not create traffic congestion. Measures will be taken to ensure that on-site circulation is provided. (h) The use will not cause a negative cumulative effect, when considered in conjunction with the cumulative effect of other uses is the immediate vicinity. Being that outdoor storage is allowed in the General Business District with a CUP, it is assumed that there would be no negative cumulative effect of the proposed use on other uses in the immediate vicinity. (i) The use complies with all other applicable regulations for the district in which it is located. The proposed use will comply with all other applicable regulations for the district. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the Conditional Use Permit for outdoor storage for the property located at 5101 University Avenue, subject to conditions of approval outlined below. Motion: The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the P.214 Page 4 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission MAT Properties-Conditional Use Permit September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0902 Conditional Use Permit for outdoor storage, subject to certain 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.

"\ ORIGINATING DEP AR TMENT: Community Development CITY MANAGER'S APPROV AL ITEM: Adopt Resolutions 2006-153, 154, 155, and 156 for the Denial of Site Plan Approval and Variances for properties at 4900 Central A venue and 4910 Central Avenue. BY: Jeff Sargent, City Planner DATE: September 7, 2006 ~ ~-o~ BACKGROUND: Border Foods, Inc. is representing both Taco Bell and Starbucks in an effort to redevelop the land located at 4900 Central A venue and 4910 Central A venue. The proposal includes replacing the existing Taco Bell restaurant and Dave's Car Wash, with a new Taco Bell restaurant and a Starbucks building. The proposal requires the following approvals: I. Site Plan Approval for the Taco Bell restaurant per Code Section 9.104 (M). 2. Site Plan Approval for the Starbucks restaurant per Code Section 9.104 (M). 3. A 2-foot parking stall length variance for the Taco Bell parcel per Code Section 9.106 (L)(7)(a). 4. A 2-foot parking stall length variance for the Starbucks parcel per Code Section 9.106 (L)(7)(a). 5. A 31.24 square foot area variance for wall signage for the Taco Bell building per Code Section 9.106 (P)(12)(b)(1 ). 6. The project will also require 13 deviations from the Highway District Design Guidelines. The applicant's proposal requires 13 waivers from the City's Design Guidelines. These Guidelines were adopted by the City Council after one year of preparation by a citizens group that included residents, as well as Central A venue business owners. The guidelines were established to increase the visual appeal and pedestrian orientation of certain major street corridors within the city, thereby increasing the economic vitality of these corridors, and supporting the goals ofthe Comprehensive Plan. The guidelines represent the minimum standards for design quality and have been implemented by Discount Tire, Advanced Auto Parts, and Grand Central Lofts, all on Central Avenue. Ryland Homes, Inc. and Schafer Richardson have also used the guidelines in the redevelopment of the Industrial Park. Border Food's request to waive 13 of the Design Guidelines is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 6, 2006 and recommended that the City Council deny the site plan approvals with associated variances, with a 5-0 vote. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2006-153, and Resolution 2006-154, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to adopt Resolution No. 2006-153 and 2006-154, DENYING the site plan and associated variances for the properties located at 4900 Central Avenue, for the reasons stated in the Resolution. Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2006-155, and Resolution 2006-156, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to adopt Resolution No. 2006-155 and 2006-156, DENYING the site plan and associated variances for the properties located at 4910 Central A venue, for the reasons stated in the Resolution.

Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel ofland involved, where strict adherence to the provisions of this Ordinance would cause undue hardship. The applicant's design has caused the necessity ofthe variances and no hardship is present. 2. The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the specific parcel ofland involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. The applicant has created the hardship by purchasing a piece of property and attempting to place a commercial use on the property, which requires more land to meet the City's minimum requirements. There are no unique circumstances surrounding the parcel that differentiate themselves from other properties within the same zoning classification. 3. The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this Ordinance and has not been created by any person currently having legal interest in the property. The owner of the property has caused the stated hardship being used to justify the variance requests.

The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Granting this variance request would allow for the placement of a building that is inconsistent with the Design Guidelines, which in turn are established to implement the Comprehensive Plan. For this reason, granting the variance would not be harmonious with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. 5. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. Granting the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare. The parking stall length variance would help accommodate pedestrians by providing more parking stalls on site. FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED, that said variance requests are denied based on the following: 1. Other site layout options would enable the parking stalls to comply with City Code. Therefore, there is no hardship to warrant the variance. Passed this _ day of September, 2006 Offered by: Seconded by: Roll Call: Ayes: Nays: Mayor Gary L.

Peterson Attest: Patricia Muscovitz, CMC Deputy City Clerk/Council Secretary P.230 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PLANNING REPORT CASE NUMBER: 2006-0604 DATE: September 6,2006 TO: Columbia Heights Planning Commission APPLICANT: Border Foods, Inc. (Barb Schneider) LOCATION: 4910 Central Avenue REQUEST: Site Plan Approval, deviations from Design Guidelines, Variances PREPARED BY: Jeff Sargent, City Planner INTRODUCTION Border Foods, Inc. ("applicant") submitted a plan for a new Taco Bell and Starbucks restaurant to be located at the corner of 49th Avenue and Central Avenue to the Planning Commission on August 8, 2006. This plan required a total of three (3) variance requests and thirteen (13) deviations from the Design Guidelines established for Central Avenue. At the August 8, 2006 Planning Commission meeting, the applicant requested that his applicant be continued to the September 6, 2006 meeting. At this time, the applicant has not submitted any new plans to the City of Columbia Heights ("City") regarding this application. The applicant is working to secure a driveway access from the property owner to the north in order to be able to redesign the site layout for the two buildings. The applicant has also stated that the Taco Bell and Starbucks corporate entities have been informed on the Design Standards that the City has, and that changes to the originally proposed plans would need to be made in order for the project to be approved. No new plans have been submitted, and at this time, the applicant wishes to pursue the originally proposed plans: Border Foods, Inc. is representing both Taco Bell and Starbucks in an effort to redevelop the land located at 4900 Central Avenue and 4910 Central Avenue. The proposal includes replacing the existing Taco Bell restaurant and Dave's Car Wash, with a new Taco Bell restaurant and a Starbucks building. The proposal requires the following approvals: 1. Site Plan Approval for the Taco Bell restaurant per Code Section 9.104 (M). 2. Site Plan Approval for the Starbucks restaurant per Code Section 9.104 (M). P.231 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission Taco BelljStarbucks Site Plan and Variances September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0604 3. A 2-foot parking stall length variance for the Taco Bell parcel per Code Section 9.106 (L)(7)(a). 4. A 2-foot parking stall length variance for the Starbucks parcel per Code Section 9.106 (L)(7)(a). 5. A 31.24 square foot area variance for wall signage for the Taco Bell building per Code Section 9.106 (P)(12)(b)(1). 6. The project will also require 13 deviations from the Highway District Design Guidelines. Background For approximately the last four years, Border Foods, Inc. has attempted to acquire 14 feet of the southerly portion of the property occupied by Dave's Car Wash, for the purpose of building a new Taco Bell at the existing location. On February 7, 2006, Border Foods acquired this property in its entirety. After the acquisition, the applicant contacted the City of Columbia Heights ("City"), indicating their desire to redevelop the site to include a new Taco Bell restaurant and a Starbucks Coffee Shop. During many meetings, it became apparent that the Border Foods proposal would require variances and a number of waivers from the City's Design Guidelines. Staff worked diligently with the applicant, suggesting some potential alternatives to bring their proposal into conformity with the City's Design Guidelines. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan is prepared by the community and approved by the City Council. It establishes the future vision for Columbia Heights over a 10 - year period and best represents the public interest. The Zoning Code, Subdivision Regulations, Building Code and Design Guidelines are standards created to ensure the Comprehensive Plan is implemented. The primary function of the Planning Commission is to ensure the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area for commercial development and includes goals for commercial and economic development. These include strengthening the image of the community as a desirable place to live and work; providing opportunities and mechanisms for successful redevelopment of targeted areas; preserving and enhancing the existing commercial areas within the community; advocating high quality development and redevelopment within the community; and enhancing the economic viability of the community. The applicant's proposal is a commercial proposal and therefore consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in that regard. The applicant's proposal also requires 13 waivers from the City's Design Guidelines. These Guidelines were adopted by the City Council after one year of preparation by a citizens group that included residents, as well as Central Avenue business owners. The guidelines were established to increase the visual appeal and pedestrian orientation of P.232 Page 2 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission Taco BelljStarbucks Site Plan and Variances September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0604 certain major street corridors within the city, thereby increasing the economic vitality of these corridors, and supporting the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The guidelines represent the minimum standards for design quality and have been implemented by Discount Tire, Advanced Auto Parts, and Grand Central Lofts, all on Central Avenue. Ryland Homes, Inc. and Schafer Richardson have also used the guidelines in the redevelopment of the Industrial Park. Border Food's request to waive 13 of the Design Guidelines is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. ZONING CODe Zoning The property is located in the GB, General Business District, and is adjacent to Central Avenue. The properties to the north and east are also zoned GB, General Business. The properties to the west are zoned R2-A and R2-B, One and Two Family Residential Districts. The property to the south is zoned commercial and is in the City of Hilltop. Landscape Plan For all new construction, the City's Zoning Code requires a landscape plan meeting minimum standards as outlined in the Code. The proposed landscape plan effectively screens the proposed parking areas while creating a pedestrian-friendly atmosphere. The existing fencing along the alley right-of-way is also in poor condition, however the applicant has proposed to replace the fence with a new privacy fence. These improvements meet the City Code requirements in all aspects. Storm water Management According to the City Engineer, the Taco Bell/Starbucks preliminary site plans did not meet the requirements of City Code section 9.609 - Stormwater Management and the City's NPDES permit requirements. The plan set did not include any type of provisions for treating the surface water prior discharging from the site in accordance with the Stormwater Management Ordinance and the City's BMP's. A site-specific stormwater plan must be submitted for approval for final platting. Design Guidelines The project is located at 4900 and 4910 Central Avenue, which is also located within the Design Guidelines' "Highway District". Properties located in this district are subject to these design guidelines when discussing the placement of the building on the lot, the height of the building, architectural details of the building, and signage. The design guidelines build on and complement recently completed streetscape improvements to the Central Avenue business district. They were developed by consultants, and a Citizen Task Force with representatives from the City Council, Planning Commission, area business owners and landowners, and interested citizens, and are P.233 Page 3 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission Taco Bell/Starbucks Site Plan and Variances September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0604 mandatory. It is assumed that the intent of the guidelines should be met, however, it is understood that there may be alternative ways to achieve the same design objectives. The City may permit alternative approaches that, in its determination, meet the objective(s) of the design guideline(s) equally well. The City may also waive any guideline when specific physical conditions of the site or building would make compliance more difficult or inappropriate. FINDINGS OF FACT Site Plan Section 9.413, subd. 4 of the Columbia Heights Zoning Code requires that the Planning Commission make each of the following four (4) findings before approving a site plan: 1. The site plan conforms to all applicable requirements of the Ordinance. As stated previously, the project site is located in the Design Guideline Corridor and is located in the "Highway District". There are 13 total proposed deviations from the Design Guidelines for the construction of the Taco Bell and Starbucks buildings as currently presented. They include the following: Building Placement. The Design Guidelines require the buildings to have a well- defined front far;;ade with primary entrances facing the street. Buildings should be aligned so that the dominant lines of their facades parallel the line of the street and create a continuous edge. 1. Taco Bell. The Taco Bell building does not have a well-defined front far;;ade facing Central A venue. The main far;;ade with accompanying front entrance face the south, into the parking lot, which does not meet the Design Guidelines criterion. 2. Starbucks. The Starbucks building does not have a well-defined front far;;ade facing Central A venue. The main far;;ade with accompanying front entrance face the north, into the parking lot, which does not meet the Design Guidelines criterion. Building Height. All buildings shall have a minimum cornice height of 22 feet in order to create an increased sense of enclosure and diminish the perceived width of the street. This also conveys a multi-story appearance even if the building has only one occupied floor. 3. Taco Bell. The plans for the Taco Bell building indicate a height of 18 feet 3 inches to the parapet wall. The proposed height is not consistent with the Design Guidelines. P.234 Page 4 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission Taco Bell/Starbucks Site Plan and Variances September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0604 4. Starbucks. The plans for the Starbucks building indicate a height of 18 feet 4 inches to the top of the cornice. The proposed height is not consistent with the Design Guidelines. Entries. Primary building entrances on all buildings shall face the primary abutting street or walkway (Central Avenue). 5. Taco Be/!. The primary entrance for the Taco Be!! building does not face Central A venue; rather it faces south, towards the parking lot. The proposed location of the main entry is not consistent with the Design Guidelines. 6. Starbucks. The primary entrance for the Starbucks building does not face Central A venue; rather it faces north, towards the parking lot. The proposed location of the main entry is not consistent with the Design Guidelines. Franchise Architecture. Franchise architecture (building design that is trademarked or identified with a particular chain or corporation and is generic in nature) is generally discouraged unless it employs a traditional storefront commercial style. This is to encourage new building design that is supportive of the urban design goals of the City, and that responds to its context. 7. Taco Bell. The Taco Bell stand-alone building is a prototype to be used in other locations as well. The architectural detailing on the building, including, but not limited to the "flying arch" is indicative of a Taco Bell franchise building. For this reason the design does not meet the Design Guidelines in regards to franchise architecture. Drive-through Facilities. Drive through elements shall be placed to the side or rear of the principal building, and shall not be located between any building faqade and Central A venue. 8. Taco Bell. The Taco Bell plans indicate that the preview board, menu board, and the bulk of the queuing line will be placed between the front faqade of the building and Central A venue. The placement of these elements is not consistent with the Design Guidelines. Freestanding Signage. Ground or monument signs are encouraged rather than pylon signs. 9. Taco Bell. The Taco Bell project is proposing to utilize a 25-foot pylon sign for their freestanding signage. This is not consistent with the Design Guidelines, as the guidelines require the use of monument signs, at a maximum height of 8 feet. 10. Starbucks. The Starbucks project is proposing to utilize a 25-foot pylon sign for their freestanding signage. This is not consistent with the Design P.235 Page 5 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission Taco Bell/Starbucks Site Plan and Variances September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0604 Guidelines, as the guidelines require the use of monument signs, at a maximum height of 8 feet. Sign Illumination. External illumination of signs is required. Internally box signs and awning are not permitted with the exception of theatre marquees. 11. Taco Bell. The Taco Bell project is proposing to use an internally lit pylon sign, which is not consistent with the Design Guidelines, 12. Starbucks. The Starbucks project is proposing to use an internally lit pylon sign, which is not consistent with the Design Guidelines. Illuminated Wall Signage. External illumination of signs is permitted by incandescent, metal halide or fluorescent light that emits a continuous white light. Internally lit box signs and awnings are not permitted. 13. Taco Bell. The Taco Bell building proposes the use ofa box sign logo, which is internally illuminated. This type of sign age must be externally lit per the Design Guidelines. For this reason, the proposed is not consistent with the requirement. 2. The site plan is consistent with the applicable provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan. As stated previously, the site plan is not consistent with the applicable provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan because it fails to create a project that meets the minimum standards. 3. The site plan is consistent with any applicable area plan. Currently, there is no area plan for the proposed project area. 4. The site plan minimizes any adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and the public right-of-way. The proposed plans are consistent with the Zoning Code in regards to building setback and screening from adjacent residentially zoned parcels. For this reason, the site plan minimizes and adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and public rights-of-way. Variances Section 9.407, subd. 6 of the Columbia Heights Zoning Code requires that the Planning Commission make each of the following five (5) findings before approving a variance. Taco Bell2-foot oarkina stalllenath Variance reauest: P.236 Page 6 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission Taco BelljStarbucks Site Plan and Variances September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0604 1. Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this Ordinance would cause undue hardship. The proposed orientation of the building decreases the amount of land available to meet setback requirements for the parking lot, while maintaining adequate parking stal/ lengths and drive aisle widths. If the building was oriented differently on the pmperty, adequate space could be achieved to meet the City Code requirements for the parking stal/lengths. For this reason, the applicant's design has caused the necessity of the variance and no hardship is present. 2. The conditions upon which the variances are based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. The applicant has created the hardship by purchasing a piece of property and attempting to place a commercial use on the property, which requires more land to meet the City's minimum requirements. There are no unique circumstances surrounding the parcel that differentiate themselves from other properties within the same zoning classification. 3. The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this Ordinance and has not been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property. The owner of the property has caused the stated hardship being used to justify the variance requests. By reorienting the building differently on the property, the 2-foot parking stal/length variance for Taco Bel/ could be eliminated. The variance request is a direct result of the proposed orientation of the building, which the applicant has decided on. 4. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the Comprehensive Plan is to establish the future vision for Columbia Heights over a 10- year period and best represent the public interest. Granting this variance request would allow for the placement of a building that is inconsistent with the Design Guidelines, which in turn are established to implement the Comprehensive Plan. For this reason, granting the variance would not be harmonious with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. 5. The granting of the variance(s) will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development, or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. Granting the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare. The parking stall length variance would help accommodate pedestrians by P.237 Page 7 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission Taco BelljStarbucks Site Plan and Variances September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0604 providing more parking stalls on site. City Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend denial of the 2-foot parking stall length variance for the Taco Bell building because of an insufficient hardship and because granting the variance request would not meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Taco 881131.24 square foot area variance for wall sionaae: 1. Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this Ordinance would cause undue hardship. The Sign Code states that total wall signage for buildings in the GB, General Business District shall not exceed two (2) square feet for each front foot of building or structure. Because of the proposed orientation of the building, the applicant has been limited with the amount of sign age desired for the building. If the building were oriented in a way consistent with the Design Guidelines for the area, there would be an adequate amount of front footage to obtain the desired amount of sign age. For this reason, the applicant's design has caused the necessity of the variance and no hardship is present. 2. The conditions upon which the variances are based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. The applicant has created the hardship by purchasing a piece of property and attempting to place a commercial use on the property, which requires more land to meet the City's minimum requirements. There are no unique circumstances surrounding the parcel that differentiate themselves from other properties within the same zoning classification. 3. The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this Ordinance and has not been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property. The owner of the property has caused the stated hardship justifying the variance requests. By reorienting the building differently on the property, 31.24 square foot area variance for the wall signage on the Taco Bell building could be eliminated. The variance request is a direct result of the proposed orientation of the building, which the applicant has decided on. 4. The granting of the variances is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the Comprehensive Plan is to establish the future vision for Columbia Heights over a 10- year period and best represent the public interest. P.238 Page 8 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission Taco Bell/Starbucks Site Plan and Variances September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0604 The necessity of this variance request is due to the orientation of the Taco Bell building, which is inconsistent with the Design Guidelines. The Design Guidelines, in turn, are established to implement the Comprehensive Plan. For this reason, granting the variance would not be harmonious with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. 5. The granting of the variance(s) will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development, or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. The granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare. City Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend denial of the 31.24 square foot area variance for wall signage on the Taco Bell building because of an insufficient hardship, and because granting the variance request would not meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Starbucks 2-foot oarkina stalllenath variance: 1. Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this Ordinance would cause undue hardship. The proposed orientation of the building decreases the amount of land available to meet setback requirements for the parking lot, while maintaining adequate parking stall lengths and drive aisle widths. If the building was oriented differently on the property, adequate space could be achieved to meet the City Code requirements for the parking stall lengths. For this reason, the applicant's design has caused the necessity of the variance and no hardship is present. 2. The conditions upon which the variances are based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. The applicant has created the hardship by purchasing a piece of property and attempting to place a commercial use on the land that requires more land than what is provided. There are no unique circumstances surrounding the parcel that differentiate themselves from other properties within the same zoning classification. 3. The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this Ordinance and has not been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property. The owner of the property has caused the stated hardship justifying the variance requests. By reorienting the building differently on the property, the 2-foot P.239 Page 9 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission Taco BelljStarbucks Site Plan and Variances September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0604 parking stall length variance for Starbucks could be eliminated. The variance request is a direct result of the proposed orientation of the building, which the applicant has decided on. 4. The granting of the variances is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the Comprehensive Pian is to establish the future vision for Columbia Heights over a 10- year period and best represent the public interest. Granting this variance request would allow for the placement of a building that is inconsistent with the Design Guidelines, which in turn are established to implement the Comprehensive Plan. For this reason, granting the variance would not be harmonious with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. 5. The granting of the variance(s) will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development, or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. Granting the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare. The parking stall length variance would help accommodate pedestrians by providing more parking stalls on site. City Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend denial of the 2-foot parking stall length variance for the Starbucks building because of an insufficient hardship, and because granting the variance request would not meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. CONCLUSION The Taco Bell/Starbucks proposal does not meet the intent of the Design Guideiines for a new commercial development along Central Avenue. With some modifications to the site plan and building plans, the applicant could present a plan that eliminates all variance requests and is more consistent with the types of developments that the City of Columbia Heights has worked hard to obtain along its most important major thoroughfare. City Staff understands that the applicant is willing to work with the City to achieve the desired goals stated in the Comprehensive Plan, however the proposed development plans do not meet the minimum standards. The proposed site plan did not meet the requirements of City Code section 9.609 - Stormwater Management and the City's NPDES permit requirements either. The plan set did not include any type of provisions for treating the surface water prior discharging from the site in accordance with the Stormwater Management Ordinance and the City's BMP's. RECOMMENDATION Motion: That the Planning Commission deny the site plan approval for the Taco Bell P.240 Page 10 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission Taco BelljStarbucks Site Plan and Variances September 6, 2006 Case # 2006-0604 located at 4910 Central Avenue, because the site plan does not meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, and no stormwater management plan was included. Motion: That the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council deny the 2-foot parking stall length variance for Taco Bell, located at 4910 Central Avenue because of the lack of a justifiable hardship and because granting the variance would not meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Motion: That the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council deny the 31.24 square foot area variance for wall signage for the Taco Bell building located at 4910 Central Avenue for lack of a justifiable hardship and because granting the variance would not meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.

Border Foods is a locally owned company and operates franchised restaurants (under different entity names) for brands Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC, Long John Silver's, Wingstreets and Au Bon Pain. Lee Engler, Co-founder, President & CEO, has enjoyed a 25 yr. history in the restaurant industry. Collectively, the company operates 175 restaurants with the majOlity located in the Twin Cities metro market, including the Taco Bell and Pizza Hut in Columbia Heights. Fee Owner of the Property Proposed Taco Bell: Border Foods Real Estate Holdings, LLC is the fee owner of the parcel. Proposed Starbucks: JLAL, LLC is the fee owner of the parcel. Border Foods Real Estate Holdings, LLC and JLAL, LLC are affiliated companies. What is being proposed? Border Foods, doing business as Taco Bell, is proposing a reconstruct/reimage of the facility currently operating at 4900 Central to the parcel located at 4910 Central, which was fOID1erly operated as Dave's U-Wash Car Wash. JLAL, LLC on behalf of Starbucks Corp. is proposing a coffee shop with drive thru at the comer parcel of 49th and Central where the Taco Bell currently operates. Site Design The site configuration is difficult based on characteristics of the parcels. Border Foods considered public welfare and safety, comfort and economic impacts relative to the city's design standards and zoning code and respectfully asks for City input and response to this submission. Please see the attached review for more details. Building Design Taco Bell is proposing to construct a one story, full masomy building with stucco arches. The architect and design components are fully set out in the submission. We propose to construct our cmrent prototype "Bold Choice" design.. An example of this new design can be observed in at 9230 Lyndale Avenue, S. in Bloomington. We believe it will provide a significant enhancement to the Central Avenue streetscape and be most inviting to the City's residents and our community visitor customers. Starbucks is proposing a one story, full masomy facility built to its newest and most attractive design and branding guidelines. The architecture and coloring compliment the P.244 new Taco Bell facility and together the buildings create a convenient, attractive and user- friendly food and coffee service presence in Columbia Heights. Roof Line The parapet walls are high enough on each respective building to provide full screening ofthe mechanical equipment on the roof. StOID1 Sewers and drainage The existing grade contours and directional flow are to the rear of the sites per the proposed plans. Landscaping The proposed landscaping plan design includes over story trees Oaks and Honey Locust, spruce evergreens, colorful flowering perennials, grasses, boulders, pavers, grass and decorative fencing. Fire Protection The Taco Bell will be code compliant \.\rith a fully sprinkled, 24 hour monitored system. The Starbucks will be code compliant; undetermined as this time if it is fully sprinlded. Border Foods Operations Border Foods has been recognized a leader in food safety and sanitation practices by both the MN Department of Health and our franchisor-Taco Bell Corp. Border maintains a Manager of Quality Assurance on staff and has in house training programs for sanitation procedures. Our staffrng of certified food safety managers in our restaurants exceeds state requirements. All food service equipment in a Taco Bell is NSF approved and our submission for health department approval includes cut sheets which detail the equipment specifications.

The Owner is applying for variance to allow for the reduction in the required length of fourteen (14) parking stalls located on the property from the recommended twenty (20) foot length to a eighteen foot length. As shown on the site plan for the property, the parking stalls for which the variance is sought are located on the property in areas which if the recommended twenty (20) foot length were used would extend the parking stalls into the drive aisles and into the building and parking setback areas as established by the City's zoning ordinances. By reducing the length of the parking stalls by a very minimal amount of two (2) feet, the Owner can satisfy the requirements of the City's zoning ordinance and insure that its customers and the City's visitors can navigate the property in an orderly manner with larger drive aisles between the parking spaces. As the granting of the variance would not materially alter or impair the use of any parking space on the property, the Owner would appreciate the City's review and approval of this variance. Thank you for your review and consideration. Respectfully, Border Foods, Inc. ..._--oJ ---J;::..__.~I- . :- ~ .~.....
