CITY OF OAK PARK HEIGHTS
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR
SETBACKS AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURE SIZE FOR
GARAGE STRUCTURE AT 6188 BEACH ROAD NORTH
Planners File No. 236.02-21.03 Date Issued: March 23, 2021
Legal Description: (Washington County Geo. Code: 34.030.20.33.0139)
SEE ATTACHED EXHIBIT A
Owners: Roy Crist & Randee Tuma-Crist
6188 Beach Road North
Oak Park Heights, MN 55082
Applicant: Roy Crist
Site Address: 6188 Beach Road North, Oak Park Heights
Present Zoning District: R-2, Low and Medium Density Residential
Conditional use required as set forth in Ordinance Chapter 401 Section 401.15.C.1, 401.15.D.6
I. CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS: The Applicant applied for a CUP for an attached 3-car garage
structure plus inclusive mudroom, laundry, and bathroom facility, totaling 1,395 sq. feet and with a
rear lot line setbacks of 8 feet for the structure and an additional concrete pad within 5 feet of the
rear lot line. Applicable zoning code provides for a maximum accessory garage structure size of
1,200 sq. feet and a rear lot line setback of 30 feet. The property contains an existing dilapidated
and non- conforming detached garage which encroaches over the property lines onto neighboring
lots, and which the Applicant proposes to demolish and replace with the proposed attached garage.
The City received a request for a Conditional Use Permit from Owners. The CUP is required to
allow the total proposed square footage floor area of the garage and the rear lot line variance.
The property is unique given that the existing home structure was build within 1 foot of the rear
lot line, and Beach Road runs at an angle to the property resulting in an odd-shaped lot that is
only 57 feet deep at the north end of the lot, leaving very limited area to add an attached garage
to the house. The proposed attached garage will not be out of character for the neighborhood.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing, reviewed the application, and recommended
approval with conditions on May 11, 2021. The City Council reviewed the matter at its meeting
on March 23, 2021 and determined that the Conditional Use Permit is in conformance with the
standards and criteria for issuance of Conditional Use Permits found in Section 401.15.D, and
Section 401.15.C of the Zoning Ordinance.
The City approves the requested conditional use to allow an eight-foot rear yard setback for a
2
garage addition of 1,395 square feet, subject to the following conditions and restrictions imposed
by Resolution of the Oak Park Heights City Council dated March 23, 2021 as follows:
1. Any exterior mechanical equipment associated with the garage addition shall be screened.
2. The garage addition exterior shall be finished with siding to match the current house.
3. The Applicant shall apply for and receive a building permit for the structure.
4. The concrete pad outside of the mud room door shall be five feet or more from the
property line.
5. The existing detached garage shall be fully demolished and removed from the site.
Owner shall provide a plan for any removal of trees subject to review and approval of the City
Arborist.
II. Reference Attachment: The City Planner’s reports prepared by City staff, dated March 4, 2021,
is annexed hereto by reference as “Exhibit B”.
III. Abandonment: This amended permit requires continuous use in order to preserve the
Conditional Use granted by the City under the terms hereof. Any discontinuation or
abandonment of the uses permitted hereunder upon the site for a period of 12 continuous months
shall constitute abandonment and void the permit.
IV. Annual Review: Annual review is not imposed as a condition of this permit.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have set forth their hands and seals.
