RE: oak Park Heights — Conditional use Permit for Bahr construction to move one
house from 14990 00 Street North to 15431 58th Street North.
FILE NO: 798.02 — 04.09
BACKGROUND
The applicant, Rodney Bahr, has requested a conditional use permit to allow for an existing
detached single family home to be relocated onto a vacant lot at 15431 58 street North. The
lot is within the R -1 District, Single Family Residential. Adjacent to this lot is another vacant
lot (15403 58 street North) also owned by the applicant. He has indicated that future plans
for this lot may include new home construction or the relocation of another home.
Attached for reference:
Exhibit 1:
Site Plan
Exhibit 2:
Grading Plan
Exhibit 3:
Landscape Plan
Exhibit 4:
Building Foundation Plan
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan - The comprehensive Plan Land Use leap designates the lot for single
family residential use. The neighborhood containing the lot is an older area of mostly one and
two -story homes. Immediately across the street from the vacant lot are two single -story homes
dating from the 1950s and 1960s. The applicant has cleared the site of previous structures and
trees in anticipation of the move.
Zoning - The zoning neap designates the lot as R -1, Single - Family Residential. The lot and
site plan meet the following requirements for this district: minimum lot size- 10,400 square feet,
minimum lot width of 80 feet, front setback of 30 feet, side setback of 10 feet and rear setback
of 30 feet.
Conditional Use Permit m The Zoning ordinance, Section 401.15.J., requires that the
relocation of any building or structure over one -hundred and twenty (120) square feet onto
another lot within the cit y be subject to review and approval of a conditional use permit. In
evaluating the requested conditional use permit, Section 401.03.A., of the Zoning ordinance
directs the Planning commission and city council to consider the possible adverse effects of
the proposed use, with their judgment based upon, but not limited to the following factors:
a. Relationship to the specific policies and provisions of the municipal comprehensive
Plan.
b. The conformity with present and future land uses of the area.
c. The environmental issues and geographic area involved.
d. The impact on character of the surrounding area.
e. The demonstrated need for such use.
f. Traffic generation by the use in relation to the capabilities of streets serving the
property.
g. The impact upon existing public services and facilities including parrs, schools, streets,
utilities and the city's service capacity.
Comment. Grading according to the submitted grading plan will cause much of the runoff
from the relocated structure and its lot to flow onto the property immediately to the south
(despite arrows indicating otherwise). The city Engineer must review and approve the grading
plans prior to construction.
The character of the surrounding community is influenced by mature vegetation and foundation
plantings. Landscape plans for the relocated home blend into that of the surrounding homes.
Landscape plans should be approved by the city Arborist. Aside from drainage and
landscaping concerns, staff has evaluated the above criteria and feels that the applicant's
project meets these requirements.
Performance standards - Additional comments and criteria for review of a conditional use
permit specific to the relocation of a structure as specified in section 401.15,Jr of the Zoning
Ordinance are as follows:
a. Upon relocation, the building shall comply with the applicable requirements of the
Uniform Building code in effect in Oak Park heights.
Comment. The submitted building foundation plan shows the garage doors facing north,
whereas site plans show the garage doors facing east. Revised building plans
must be submitted showing the proper garage orientation. The building plans are
subject to review and approval of the city's Building official.
6
. The proposed relocated building shall comply with the character of the neighborhood in
which it is being relocated as determined by the City Council.
Comment The neighborhood consists of mostly one and two -story residential structures of
mixed age and style. The proposed house is a one -story home with attached
garage and will not be at variance with the existing neighborhood character.
c. The relocated house will not result in a depreciation of neighborhood or adjacent
property values.
Comment: The lot previously contained buildings that were in poor repair. The proposed
house will have a new foundation and be a improvement to the lot and
surrounding houses.
d. The relocated structure shall be similar to the market valuation of adjacent principal
structures as determined by the City Assessor.
Comment: According to information provided by the City Assessor, the estimated market
value of the house to be moved is $180,500 at its current location at 1 4990 00th street North.
Homes in this area are generally newer and of higher value than homes in the village area
where the house is to be moved. The estimated market values of houses in the village area
range from $115,400 to $158,000.
Occupancy - The relocated structure shall be ready for occupancy within eight (8) months
from the date of location on the site.
Comment: The applicant will be required to complete the project within eight months.
Performance security
A performance security shall be provided to the City as specified in section 401.08 of the
Ordinance.
Comment: The applicant will be required to provide the specified security.
CON-Milk MN
The relocated house will be a positive addition to the lot and neighborhood at 58 Street North.
Based on the issues outlined in this report, staff recommends approval of the requested
conditional use subject to the following conditions.
1. Upon relocation, the building shall comply with the applicable requirements of the
Uniform Building Code subject to approval of the City's Building Inspector.
2. A performance security is provided to the City as specified in Section 401.08 of the
