V. INFORMAL PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
APPLICANT: McTac Investments, Inc.
LOCATION: 2485 Rhode Island Avenue North
REQUEST: Approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a
Car Wash in a Commercial Zoning District
Chairman Prazak introduced these agenda items and asked for staff review. City
Planner Alda Peikert reviewed the staff report and recommendation.
The proponent, Mr. Robin Tacheny, was present to describe his proposal for a
self service car wash and to answer questions from the Commissioners. He indi-
cated that the entrance and exit would be on Rhode Island Avenue North and would
not cause any traffic problems along Winnetka Avenue. He reviewed the landscape
plans and described some of the materials which would be used for the building.
Commissioners had questions regarding what size vehicles could be washed, would
there be an attendant on duty, what the hours of operation would be, etc. Mr.
Tacheny explained that vehicles up to van size could use the car wash and that
there would be an attendant on duty at least part of the time during the operat-
ing hours of approximately 7:00 or 8:00 A.M. to 10:00 or 11:00 P.M. each day.
� Chairman Prazak questioned the reasoning for putting the building to the north
on the site and Mr. Tacheny explained that in the future they may wish to add
high pressure automatic washer with a dryer toward the other end of the
property and still maintain the required setbacks.
Commissioner Russell had concerns over one of the staff's conditions of approval
regarding having an attendant on duty during all operating hours. She felt
this would not be necessary. Chairman Prazak suggested there be an attendant
on duty at least one-half the time the car wash is open. Other Commissioners
agreed and Commissioner McCracken-Hunt suggested the wording of this condition
indicate that an attendant shall be on the premises a minimum of one-half the
hours of each day of operation.
Chairman Prazak stated he felt this was an appropriate addition to the City and
that it appeared to be an attractively designed car wash and was in support of
all the proposals.
It was moved by Commissioner Russell , seconded by Commissioner McCracken-Hunt
and carried unanimously to recommend City Council approval of the request for
the preliminary plat of McTac Subdivision subject• to the following conditions:
1. Submittal of grading, drainage and utility plans for proposed Lot 2
which meet the approval of the City Engineer.
2. Provision on the Final Plat of ten foot drainage and utility easements
� along Winnetka Avenue and Rhode Island Avenue street frontages.

4. - Review by the Hennepin County Department of Transportation for impacts

It was moved by Commissioner McCracken-Hunt, seconded by Commissioner McAleese
and carried unanimously to recommend City Council approval of rezoning of Lot
2, Block 1, McTac Subdivision (2485 Rhode Island Avenue North) from the Light
Industrial to the Commercial Zoning District.
It was moved by Commissioner Russell , seconded by Commissioner Kapsner and
carried unanimously to recommend City Council approval of a Conditional Use
Permit to allow for a �self-service car wash at 2485 Rhode Island Avenue North
� in a Commercial Zoning District subject to the following conditions:
1. Development in conformance with the Site Plan for McTac Car Wash
prepared by Soucy Architects and submitted with the Conditional Use

FROM: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat of Negen Addition
Virgil Negen is proposing the subdivision of property he owns at 6839 Medicine
Lake Road. The subdivision would divide the approximate 19,750 square foot parcel
into two lots. Parcel A, or the north lat, has an existing house on it that Mr.
Negen rents to tenants. This lot faces Medicine Lake Road. Parcel B, or the
south lot, would have frontage on Sandburg Lane. The garage for the house on
Parcel A is now located on Parcel B with access to the garage from Sandburg Lane.
The subdivision of the property into two lots would create one additional building
lot in Golden Valley on Sandburg Lane. However, the lots that would be created
are slightly substandard when the Zoning Code is considered. The Zoning Code
requires that lots in the Residential District be a minimum of 100 feet wide and
10,000 square feet in area. Parcel A is only 99 feet wide although the lot
exceeds the minimum size requirement of 10,000 square feet. (Parcel A is 10,098
square feet in area. ) Parcel B does not meet the area requirement. The lot is
approximately 9,652 square feet or about 350 square feet short of the required
10,000 square feet.
� Both lots are more than adequate in size for good size houses. Parcel A currently
has a house on it that fits nicely. (Please note that the existing west sideyard
setback of the house is only 11.8 feet. The current Zoning Code calls for a 15
foot sideyard setback. Any new additions to this house would have to meet the
setback requirement or receive a variance. ) There is also more than adequate room
on the lot for the moving of the garage from Parcel B to a site on Parcel A that
would meet setback requirements.
As shown on the attached sketch, there is adequate room to build a good size house
on Parcel B with a garage that meets all setback requirements despite the shape of
the lot and its deficiency in size. The sketch indicates that a house that is 36'
x 26' with a 20' x 20' attached garage may be built on the lot without any vari-
ances from setbacks.
This property is unique because it has two street frontages. This happened when
Sandburg Lane was built many years ago and divided the property that is now owned
by Mr. Negen into two parcels, one north of Sandburg Lane and one south of Sandburg
Lane where Mr. Negen resides (6835 Sandburg Lane). The attached site location map
shows that the property just east of Mr. Negen's property has developed in a
similar fashion to the way Mr. Negen is proposing. In that circumstance, there
are two lots on Sandburg Lane and one on Medicine Lake Road. The lot south of
Sandburg Lane (6825 Sandburg Lane) is only about 7,700 square feet in area which
is substantially less than the required 10,000 square feet. The lots north of
Sandburg Lane both exceed the land area requirement except for the 99 foot width.

I have reviewed the plat with the City Engineer. Sewer and water are available in
Sandburg Lane to provide utility service to Parcel B. Storm water from Parcel B
will drain toward Sandburg Lane where there is adequate storm sewers to handle any
increased runoff.
Recommendation
I recommend approval of the proposed preliminary plat. The variations that the
lots have from the requirements of the Zoning Code are minimal and will not affect
the use of the lots for houses. This property owned by Mr. Negen is somewhat
unique because it is cut by Sandburg Lane and due to the fact that most lots along
Medicine Lake Road were originally subdivided at 99 feet in width rather than 100
feet as the current Zoning Code requires. It would seem to be a waste of good
property to not utilize Parcel B because it lacked 350 square feet in area. There
are few lots remaining in Golden Valley and especially lot�s such as Parcel B that
will allow the construction of more affordable houses. In addition, the subdivi-
sion of this lot is similar -to the subdivision of the property to the east of the
Negen property. This property has three lots which would be similar to the Negen
property after the proposed Negen Addition is approved.
