PUBLIC HEARINGS
3. Vacation of Existing Utility Easement and Proposed Ordinance Vacating Roadway Easements
Serving 1650 40th Avenue NE and 3987 Johnson Street NE
Introduction: Boucher stated that the City of Columbia Heights has made application to vacate
utility and roadway easements serving the properties, 1650 40th Avenue NE and 3987 Johnson
Street NE. The City is vacating these easements because the current configuration does not
accurately reflect the right-of-way constructed and proposing an ordinance to create new
easements to serve these properties. This is subject to required findings for easement vacations
per 9.104(J) and Section 111—Vacation of Streets of the City Chapter.
Chirpich explained that Johnson Street curves to make a 90 degree turn and was platted to
originally in that straight, angular configuration. Staff do not know the history on how that evolved.
It is creating issues for the homeowners to expand their garage. Staff recognize that it is the City’s
responsibility to clean up the right-of-way issues.
Sahnow asked if the easements would be redrawn. Boucher replied that they would be redrawn.
Chirpich added that portions of the existing easements would remain intact in their same location
but would be described differently by a surveyor.
Vargas asked if there was a process for reporting the vacations of the easements to the County
surveyor. Boucher replied that as the applicant, the City would be required to file the easement
vacations to the County.
Boucher stated that there are eight easements serving 1650 40th Avenue NE and 3987 Johnson
Street NE proposed for vacation described as follows with legal descriptions attached to the report:
1. Sanitary sewer easement per Document No. 177165
2. Roadway easement per Document No. 217982
3. Roadway easement per Document No. 727283
4. Undeveloped alley per Waltons 1st Subdivision of Reservoir Hills
5. Right-Of-Way Johnson Street NE per Anoka County Half Section Map

City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 06, 2024
Planning Commission Meeting Page 3
6. Roadway easement per Document NO. 727279, 727278, and 732576
Boucher explained that there are required findings of fact for easement vacation that the City
Council has to make before vacating a street, alley or other public right-of-way:
a) No private rights will be injured or endangered as a result of the vacation. (This is correct)
b) The public will not suffer loss or inconvenience as a result of the vacation. (This is correct)
Boucher stated Staff has coordinated with the City Engineer who has bene provided copies of the
application materials and had no concerns with the easement vacation and proposed easements.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Deneen asked if there were any worries about the garage being built in the area due to the sanitary
sewer easement. Chirpich replied that engineering did a review of the home in order to verify that
question and that none of the utilities are actually running through the footprint of the proposed
garage.
Vargas asked if the Met Council was the owner of the sanitary easement and if it was in relation to
the force sanitary line. He asked if it had been previously proposed as a lift station. Chirpich replied
that the engineer has reviewed the ownership and has determined that the City will continue to
contain all of the space that is needed to operate the easement and utilities. He added that he is
unable to answer the question about the lift station.
Vargas expressed his concern that the sewer lines can shift due to the ground and the surveyors
going off of old maps instead of being on site. Chirpich and Boucher explained that the surveyors
were on site and have been analyzing the site. Chirpich stated that Staff believe that the property
has been analyzed properly. Boucher stated that the City Attorney would review the proposed
easements as well.
Kaiser asked if there had been any feedback from the community. Boucher replied that he sent
mailings to nearby residents within 350 feet of both properties and did not receive any comments.
Sahnow asked if there was anyone on zoom. Chirpich noted that there was no questions on zoom.

Wolfe opened the public hearing. There were no comments.

4. Proposed Utility and Roadway Easements Serving 1650 40th Avenue NE and 3987 Johnson
Street NE
Introduction: Boucher stated the City of Columbia Heights has made application to propose utility
and roadway easements service 1650 40th Avenue NE and 3987 Johnson Street NE. The City is
vacating existing easements because the current configuration does not accurately reflect the
right-of-way constructed and is creating new easements to serve these properties.
Boucher explained that there are required findings of fact for easement vacation that the City
Council has to make before vacating a street, alley or other public right-of-way:
a) No private rights will be injured or endangered as a result of the vacation. (This is correct)
b) The public will not suffer loss or inconvenience as a result of the vacation. (This is correct)
Chirpich stated roadways and alleys are separated into two different categories. The road and alley
easements have a higher standard of care and have to be vacated or established by ordinance
rather than resolution. They are embedded into the City’s charter, whereas the vacation of
easements, are vacated and established by a resolution.
Boucher explained that the proposed Ordinance would be vacating all of the proposed legal
descriptions for the easements and road vacations as described in exhibits A and B.
Motion by Deneen, seconded by Vargas, to waive the reading of the draft Ordinance No. 1692,

5. Variance for Attached Garage in Residential Front Yard within Front Yard Setback
Encroachments
Introduction: Boucher stated at the beginning of 2023, the property owner of 1650 40th Avenue NE
approached staff regarding the replacement of an existing attached garage with a larger garage
which would abut or encroach within the front yard setback and upon an area of the site which lies
within an existing utility easement. Upon further review, Staff determined that the applicant would
require a Variance to accommodate the potential building addition.
Boucher added that April Leaveck and Karen Thompson are requesting a Variance for a proposed
attached garage to be located at 1650 40th Avenue NE. The applicant is proposing to construct an
addition to the standard garage which measures out to 567 square feet in size on the east side of
the home. The applicant seeks a variance for the following: 1. Variance to allow the attached
garage to be constructed and located with a front yard setback less than 25 feet. City Code Section
9.109 (C) stipulates a 25-foot front yard setback for residential buildings.
Boucher noted that the property is a corner lot abutting a diagonal street with unique setback
requirements that apply to the subject property in relation to neighboring lots as the subject
property does not have a conventional rear lot line. In consideration of corner lots, the City Code
states that the lot line having shortest dimension of street frontage is considered the front lot line.
However, at the time of construction in 1985, the street frontage along 40th Avenue NE wa s
considered the front lot line.
Boucher stated thus, the site’s north lot line, along 40th Avenue NE is considered the front and
subject to a minimum required building setback of 25 feet. The west lot line is subsequently
considered a side lot line, from which a minimum 5 -foot building setback is required. The required
setback from Johnson Street NE is subject to a 10-foot setback along the same street. The attached
garage is proposed to be located 20.4 feet from the north front property line, the same distance as
the existing principal structure encroaches upon the front yard setback. The structure and
proposed addition are within the principal structure building line in the front yard and does not
increase the encroachment towards the setback beyond what the original structure does.
Boucher explained that Staff has reviewed the variance materials and the building permit
application submitted including floor plans, applicant narrative, and site plan illustrating the
proposed size and location of the new garage and its relation to adjac ent properties and structures
as well as the existing and proposed easements described in the easement vacation associated with
this property. The structure and proposed addition are within the principle structure building line in
the front yard and does not increase the encroachment towards the setback beyond what the
29
Item 4.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 06, 2024
Planning Commission Meeting Page 6
original structure does.
Boucher stated the City Council shall make each of the following findings before granting a
variance:
a. 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 practical difficulties in
conforming to the zoning ordinance. The applicant, however, is proposing to use the
property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning ordinance.
This is correct. The existing single-family home on the lot was built in a manner
that utilized 40th Avenue NE as the front yard rather than Johnson Street NE. The
current condition does not provide reasonable space for the construction of a
standard two-stall garage that does not encroach into the front yard setback. This
is an existing condition not caused by the current owner. The proposed garage
would encroach five feet and five inches into the front yard setback, the same
distance as the existing house encroaches, and will be served by the existing
driveway accessed from 40th Avenue NE.
b. 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.
This is correct. The subject site is unique as it is a triangular corner lot with three
separate street frontages along all three sides of the property with setback
requirements that differ from most lots on the block.
c. The practical difficulties are caused by the provisions of this article and have not
been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property.
This is correct.
d. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of
the Comprehensive Plan.
This is correct. The Comprehensive plan calls for reinvestment, renovation, and
modernization of the City’s single-family housing stock.
e. 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.
This is correct. The granting of this Variance will result in a new, functioning two
car garage for the property that will enhance the overall functionality and
aesthetic of the site. This will provide more adequate on-site parking and will
30
Item 4.

contribute to the improved value of the neighborhood.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Vargas asked if the dimensions of the 5’ 5” was a reflection of a survey. Boucher replied that it is a
reflection of the current distance the house is from the property line.

Chirpich noted that there were no online comments.
Motion by Vargas, seconded by Kaiser, to waive the reading of the draft Resolution No. 2024-012,

2024-012, a Variance allowing a five foot, five inch, encroachment into the front yard setback of
1650 40th Avenue NE. All ayes. MOTION PASSED.
6. Review and Authorization of an Amendment to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan
Introduction: Boucher stated in late 2022, staff were informed that Medtronic intended to vacate
their Columbia Heights campus located at 800 53rd Avenue NE. The property was listed for sale in
December of 2022, and staff collaborated with the listing broker to provide guidance on pote ntial
parameters for redevelopment of the site. Currently, the entire 11.74 -acre site is fully within the
Shoreland Overlay District and zoned GB-General Business which allows for a variety of commercial
uses but does not include provisions to allow residential development. Given the large size of the
property and its desirable location, staff believe that a variety of uses could be considered at this
location, including high-density residential. Despite the redevelopment potential for the site, there
is no specific guidance in the City’s Comprehensive Plan to direct a different use of the property.
The current plan simply guides the site for commercial use under the assumption that Medtronic
will remain the primary user.
Boucher mentioned following the listing of the property, staff received a handful of inquiries from
redevelopers over the course of a few months. Staff advised interested developers that the City
viewed the site as a prime prospect for redevelopment, but specific guidance for the site has not
been developed at this time. Therefore, additional planning must be undertaken to start creating
parameters for the potential rezoning/re-guiding of the site before redevelopment can occur. HKGi,
who prepared the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, was contracted to develop a design framework and
conduct engagement activities including evaluating the redevelopment site and the neighborhood
context, facilitating meetings and workshops with staff, City Council and Planning Commission, and
the neighborhood to establish redevelopment goals with a focus on land use and design elements.
Boucher explained initial work has included evaluating the redevelopment site and neighborhood
context through internal staff meetings and workshops in the form of a Joint Session of the
31
Item 4.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 06, 2024
Planning Commission Meeting Page 8
Planning Commission and City Council on November 16, 2023. The Joint Session allowed for some
consensus to be reached regarding the core land use and design elements that have been
established thus far, these core elements include the following:
• Scale high density residential towards Central Avenue and lower density housing such as
townhomes near Sullivan Lake
• Street designs that incorporate stormwater management features
• Integrate public/private spaces
• Focus on Sullivan Lake and expansion of Sullivan Lake Park as existing community assets •
Improve Sullivan Lake water quality
• Targeted residential density of 450-600 units
• Limited commercial/retail development
Boucher stated these land use and design frameworks were refined into two concepts which were
presented to the public at an Open House engagement event held on January 9, 2024. The event
was extremely well attended and served as the beginning of a two -week online public engagement
period from January 9th through January 24th where community members provided feedback on
the concepts presented.
Boucher noted that HKGi has provided a summary report that documents the proposed changes to
the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The primary Changes that are proposed are as follows:
• Transit Oriented Development (TOD) land use text description
• Implementation chapter update to reflect the need for rezoning of the site
• Adding to the Opportunity areas with an Area 5 section describing the new site and
changing the site’s future land use designation from Commercial to TOD.
• Technical tables will be adjusted based on projections changing and forecasts for
additional population and housing units:
• Regional Setting
• Socioeconomic (Household and Employment)
• Sewer
• Transportation Analysis Zones
• Transportation demand
Boucher added that the amendment is now ready to be submitted to the Metropolitan Council for
review and adoption. Prior to their acceptance of the plan, a resolution of the City Council
approving the plan to be submitted, is required. The City’s Zoning Code gives the Planning
Commission authority to review and hold public hearings, and prepare recommendations to the
City Council regarding any changes to the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission
must make a recommendation to the City Council on the draft amendment.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Vargas noted that it seemed weird that HKGi provided the same playbook as in Maple Grove but
simply downsized it for the City.

Kaiser noted that it seemed like a reasonable update to the Comprehensive Plan in order to
accommodate the redevelopment. He added that the Planning Commission is not approving all of
the plans that were presented but would be allowing a way for the plans to be potentially possible.
Sahnow noted that the Comprehensive Plan includes parameters around density, and number of
housing. The Comprehensive Plan is a recommendation. He asked how the City would hold a
developer to a certain density, housing type or specific amenities, such as park features. He added
that the park features are outside of the property. Chirpich replied that through the redevelopment
agreement, the City can demand a portion of land or an equivalent in cash. The City can keep
developers accountable to the housing number of 25-65 +/-. He noted it would be a balance on
what the City desires and what the developer needs. In the case of this development, it is expected
that it would be rezoned into planned unit development. He explained that the zoning will be site
specific and will have parameters included.
Vargas asked if the 11.74-acre site within the Shoreland Overlay District was a function of the DNR
or something independent. Chirpich replied that it was a City Ordinance overlay baked into the
City’s Ordinance. It is derived from a lot of the DNR Shoreland standards.
Deneen asked if there has been any thought to ask the developers to provide a number of
affordable units and how that was being addressed. Chirpich replied that the affordability ratio has
not been built yet but should be during the negotiations between the City EDA and the developer.
He explained that a mixed income approach is looking favorable at the time.
Public Hearing Opened.
Dirk Schmitz, City resident, stated that he was not against residential in the area. He noted that he
would like to see more owner occupied townhouses, and condos. He asked that since the
Comprehensive Plan has changed, what stops other developers from coming in and putting in more
residential rental units. He asked if there was a ratio of private and rental ownerships for the City.
Gianoulis asked Staff to speak on traffic impacts. Chirpich replied that the traffic management plan
would be more fully developed with a development proposal. He added that Staff would need to
continue to work the Engineering team to ensure there is a convenient layout. While traffic will
increase, Staff believe they will be able to manage it. It will go through a traffic management and
traffic study plan.
Public Hearing Closed.
Motion by Deneen, seconded by Wolfe, to waive the reading of the draft Resolution No. 2024-013,
there being ample copies available to the public and close the public hearing. All ayes. MOTION

7. Review Purchase of 675 37th Avenue NE
Chirpich stated pursuant to State Statue, Section 462.356, Subdivision 2, the Planning and Zoning
Commission (the “Planning Commission”) in and for the City is required to review and ultimately
determine that the proposed acquisition of real property conforms to the Compre hensive Plan of the
City. Therefore, staff has requested that the Planning Commission review the acquisition of 675 37th
Avenue NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421 (the “Subject Property”) to determine if its acquisition
conforms to the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
Chirpich noted that the City has a long-standing practice of acquiring vacant and blighted properties for
strategic redevelopment purposes. Given the location of the subject property and its proximity to the
City’s Public Works facilities, the City desires to acquire the prope rty for the potential future
redevelopment of the Public Works campus. Therefore, the proposed acquisition of the Subject
Property responds to several goals and policies adopted in the Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, in
Chapter 3: Land Use. Below are the specific goals and policies from the Comprehensive Plan that
directly and indirectly correlate to the conformity of the proposed acquisition.
LAND USE AND REDEVELOPMENT
Goal: Provide mechanisms for successful redevelopment of vacant lands and targeted areas within the
community.
1. Encourage infill development that demonstrates compatibility with existing neighborhood
characteristics in terms of quality, design, building height, placement, scale, and architectural
quality.
Goal: Strengthen the identity and image of the community as a desirable place to live, work and play.
1. Enhance the physical appearance of the community through clean-up initiatives,
redevelopment opportunities, and housing renovation programs.
Motion by Sahnow, seconded by Kaiser, to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2024-PZ01, there
being ample copies available to the public. All ayes. MOTION PASSED.
Motion by Wolfe, seconded by Deneen, to adopt Resolution 2024-PZ01, a resolution finding that the
acquisition of certain land for redevelopment purposes by the City of Columbia Heights is consistent
with the City of Columbia Heights’ Comprehensive Plan. All ayes. MOTION PASSED.

03/18/24
CASE NUMBER: 2024-0301
DATE: March 18, 2024
TO: Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission
APPLICANT: Michael Gondek
LOCATION: 334 and 344 40th Avenue NE
REQUEST: Minor Subdivision (Lot Line Adjustment)
PREPARED BY: Aaron Chirpich, Community Development Director/Assistant City Manager
INTRODUCTION
Michael Gondek, owner of Gondek Properties LLC, has requested approval of a Minor Subdivision, per City
Code Section 9.104 (k), for abutting parcels of land located at 334 and 344 40th Avenue NE.
The subject sites are both zoned GB-General Business. 334 40th is occupied by a small two-tenant commercial
building, and 344 40th, is occupied by a single-family home. The properties are located near commercial uses
to the west, northwest, and southwest. To the north and east of the subject sites there are single -family
homes.
The applicant is the owner of both properties, and they are requesting the lot line adjustment because some
of the parking area for the commercial property at 334 40th is located on the single-family lot at 344 40th. This
condition was created when the owner purchased the adjacent single-family home to provide more off-street
parking for the commercial property. The proposed lot line adjustment will allow the commercial parking area
to be fully located on the commercial parcel at 334 40 th.
To be noted, the applicant is also proposing to establish a 35’ X 16’ driveway easement, and 20’ X 20’ parking
easement on the commercial property (post lot line adjustment) that will be in favor of the single-family
parcel. These easements will allow future users/owners of the single-family residential property access and
parking on the commercial property. The single-family residential property also has parking to the rear of the
site that is accessible from the alley to the south. Should the easement be vacated in the future, the single-
family property will still have adequate parking on-site.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Lot Requirements. In consideration of the minor subdivision application, a determination should be made
that the newly created lots meet the minimum lot area and width requirements of the applicable GB-General
38
Item 5.
Page 2
Business zoning district. According to Section 9.110.C of the Zoning Ordinance, lots within GB Districts must
have a minimum lot area of 6,000 square feet and a minimum width of 40 feet.
Presently, the west parcel (334 40th Avenue) measures approximately 12,910 square feet in size and has a
width of 105 feet. As a result of the proposed lot line adjustment, the parcel would be increased to 1 5,230
square feet in size and increased in width to 1 32 feet on the north end of the parcel (along 40th Avenue).
Presently, the east parcel (344 40th Avenue), measures 8,610 square feet in size and has a width of 70 feet. As
a result of the proposed lot line adjustment, the parcel would be decreased to 6,290 square feet in size and
decreased in width to 43 feet on the north end of the parcel (along 40th Avenue).
Both proposed lots meet the minimum area and lot width requirements of the GB District.
Setbacks. The proposed lot line adjustment will result in a change to side yard structure setbacks. According
to Section 9.110.C of the Zoning Ordinance, lots within the GB District do not have side yard setback
requirements, as structures can be placed right up to the side yard property line.
As a result of the proposed lot line adjustment, part of the side yard structure setback for the commercial
building on the west parcel will be increased from 1.3 feet to 28.3 feet while the side yard setback for the
single-family home on the east parcel will be reduced from 35 feet to 8 feet. After the adjustment, both
proposed lots will meet the minimum structure setback requirements of the GB District.
The minimum side-yard parking setback in the GB District is 5 feet. The proposed lot line adjustment will bring
the existing commercial parking area fully onto the commercial lot. The side yard setback for the parking area
after the adjustment will result in a compliant 5-foot setback.
Easements. The submitted survey does not illustrate any drainage and utility easements upon the subject
properties. Thus, it is not necessary to vacate an easement along the shared side lot line. As previously
mentioned, the applicant is also proposing to establish a 35’ X 16’ driveway easement, and 20’ X 20’ parking
easement on the commercial property (post lot line adjustment) that will be in favor of the single -family
parcel.
Recording. As a condition of minor subdivision approval, the applicant will be responsible for the filing the
approved subdivision with the Anoka County Recorder’s Office.
If the minor subdivision is not filed with the Anoka County recorder’s Office within one year of the date of City
Council approval, it will become invalid.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104 (K) of the Zoning Code outlines specific conditions in order for the City Council to approve a
minor subdivision. They are as follows:
1. The proposed subdivision of land will not result in more than three lots.
The proposed subdivision will result in two conforming lots.
2. The proposed subdivision of land does not involve the vacation of existing easements.
No vacation of existing easements will occur as a result of the minor subdivision.
3. All lots to be created by the proposed subdivision conform to lot area and width requirements
established for the zoning district in which the property is located.
Both newly created lots will conform to the lot width and lot area requirements of the applicable GB-General
Business zoning designation. 39
