PLANNING CASE REPORT
Planning Case: 96-29
Request: Request for a Variance from the Side Yard Setback Requirement to Allow
Construction of an Addition
Location: 3532 Ensign Avenue North
PID No.: 19-118-21-21-0038
Zoning: R-l, Single Family Residential Zoning District
Petitioner: Jonathan & Christy Arnoldy
Report Date: August 30, 1996
Meeting Date: September 3, 1996
UPDATE
1. At the August 6 Planning Commission meeting, the petitioners were requesting a variance from
the side yard setback requirement to allow construction of a 12' x 13' addition and a 12' x 13'
open porch/deck onto the existing residence, pursuant to Sections 4.034(3)(c) and 4.22 of the
New Hope Code of Ordinances. They were proposing to construct a master bedroom addition
to the north side of the existing home. The addition would extend out 12 feet from the existing
structure and would be 26 feet wide, with the front portion containing the bedroom addition and
the rear portion containing an upper level porch/open deck with an open/exposed roof for
sunlight. City code states that the side yard setback requirement in a Single Family Residential
Zoning District is 10 feet for interior lots, with the exception that an attached garage can be
located five feet from the property line. The proposed house addition would have been
located three (3) feet from the side yard property line, therefore, a seven (7) foot variance
from the ten (10) foot setback requirement was being requested.
2. There was a considerable amount of discussion about this request at the Planning Commission
meeting and the majority of Commissioners did not favor the granting of such a large variance.
The Commission voted to table the request and requested that three actions be taken:
A. The Commission directed the staff to research past variances granted to determine if a
seven (7) foot variance from the ten (10) foot side yard setback requirement had ever
been approved before for a house addition.
B. The Commission recommended that the petitioner strongly consider revising the house
addition plans by several feet so that a seven (7) foot variance was not necessary.
C. The Commission also requested an explanation/clarification of how the rear yard elevated
deck/porch appeared to encroach on the thirty-five (35) foot rear yard setback
requirement.
All three of these actions have been completed.
Planning Case 96-29 2 August 30, 19~6
3. Variance Research: Research was completed by City staff on all of the variances that have
been granted back to 1980, and that research is attached to this report for your information.
The research/graphs are divided into two sections: all variances and side yard variances. From
the research completed, it appears that the largest variance granted for a house addition into
the 10-foot side yard setback was five feet (Planning Case 85-20).
This information was sent to the petitioner with the enclosed memo stating that based on this
research, staff felt that it was unlikely that the Commission would recommend approval of a
seven-foot variance. (Copies of memo and research were also sent to the Planning
Commission Chair.) Staff suggested that the petitioner submit revised plans that show a
reduced encroachment into the side yard setback.
4. Revised Plans: The petitioner met with staff and has submitted a new revised site plan, floor
plan and cross-section, along with some new elevation photos. The proposed width of the
addition has been reduced by two (2) feet. The original proposal was for a 12-foot wide
addition, which would have encroached seven feet into the 10-foot setback area. The revised
plans show a 10-foot wide addition, which would encroach five feet into the 10-foot
setback area. In fact, the updated site plan shows that the house sits at a slight angle to the
side yard property line so that there would be five feet between the addition and the side yard
property line at the closest point on the northwest corner of the house. The distance between
the addition and the side yard property line at the rear of the addition (or the northeast corner
of the house) would actually increase to 7.5 feet.
The petitioner can explain the revisions to the floor plan to you at the meeting. Staff is mainly
concerned with the exterior dimensions and the amount of encroachment into the setback
area. Staff feels that the petitioner has done a good job revising the plans and has followed the
recommendations of the Commission and staff.
The petitioner has also clearly stated in writing that the entire home and addition would be re-
sided with new high-quality, steel siding and that a new asphalt shingle roof would be installed
on the existing home and the new addition. There will be no change in the type or style of
windows, as the windows in the existing house will be re-used in the addition: The petitioner
has stated that the building materials of this addition will exactly match the present existing
structure.
5. Deck/Porch Addition: The Building Official has prepared the enclosed memo on the
deck/porch addition and the petitioner's revised site plan shows the correct distance between
the rear yard property line and the elevated deck/porch. The site plan shows that the distance
is 30 feet, or the elevated porch/deck encroaches five feet into the 35-foot rear yard setback
area.
The home was built in 1965. In 1986 the former owner applied for a building permit to construct.
the elevated deck. It appears at that time that the site plan submitted was inaccurate. However,
decks are allowed as encroachments into the yard setback areas. The home was sold in 1990.
In 1991 the petitioner, using the same site plan, applied for a building permit to enclose the
deck and construct the porch. When decks become enclosed they are considered part of the
structure and are supposed to meet setback requirements. Because the deck had already
Planning Case 96-29 3 August 30, 1996
been approved, based on an inaccurate site plan submitted by the previous owner, the
Inspection's Department approved the porch construction. There was probably an error on both
the former owner's part and the City's part.
I have discussed this issue with both the Building Official and City Attorney. We do not feel that
any action by the Planning Commission is necessary on this "past error." The City Attorney has
indicated that he would consider the porch/deck a legal non-conforming use. The Building
Official has indicated he will be more careful with future plan reviews, which is sometimes
difficult to do and be 100% accurate without requiring certified surveys for every construction
project, which the City does not like to do because it is an expense that most homeowners do
not want to incur.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of a five-foot side yard setback variance to allow the construction of a
ten-foot wide addition, per the revised plans, that have been submitted.

MEMORANDUM
TO: J°n Arnoldy
FROM: Kirk McDonald, Management Assistant/Community Development' Coordinator
DATE: August 22, 1996
SUBJECT: Variance Research and Revised Plans
Enclosed please find copies of the research that was completed on all the variances that have
been granted back to 1980. The research/graphs are divided into two sections: all variances
and side yard variances. From the research completed, it appears that the largest variance
granted for a house addition into the 10-foot side yard setback was 5 feet. Based on this
research, I think it is unlikely that the Commission will recommend approval of a 7-foot
variance.
I would suggest that you submit revised plans that show a reduced encroachment into the side
yard setback, as the Planning Commission requested. I will be preparing the Planning
Commission packet next week and would appreciate you submitting any revised plans you
want the Commission to consider to me by Monday, August 26.
Please contact me at 531-5119 if you have any questions.

re: Arnoldy Property History-3532 Ensign Avenue
Our property file indicates the f°llowing routine permits for this lot:
1965 building.permit _& all related subcontract permits for home
1986 " for a deck with future porch footings (12'x16')
1990 certificate of compliance; point-of-sale
1991 building permit for a porch
NOTE: The site plan "A", attached, was submitted before construction,
certified by John Arnoldy to be accurate on March 15, 1991 (in the
upper right-hand corner). A close check of the plans has revealed
this site plan to be drawn inaccurately. The east setback from the
rear lot line to the porch is drawn at 37 feet, using the listed scale
of 1 inch -- 30 feet; LEGAL. Recent discussions have identified the
problem to be the inaccurate drawing of the home on the lot in 1986
or 1991.
For this 1996 variance, the site plan "B" was submitted, used to build
the home in 1965, illustrating no porch and a different front yard
setback.
Clearly, our process was flawed, in this case. A more aggressive plan
review on my part or requiring a $200 lot survey would have caught the
problem in 1986, when the former owner built the deck, with future
porch footings, which we encourage. I have taken a tougher approach
to site plans in the last 12 years, because of other problems, but very
rarely force owners to pay for a new survey when remodelling. [ New
buildings, of course, always submit a new lot survey.] I assist many
owners and builders with these site plans, but they must certify the
accuracy. In this case, the shallow lot depth (100 feet) prevented any
significant rear addition, if a 40 or 42 foot rear setback remained.
It is a tough balance when customers demand little red tape and the
Building Official asks for a revised or more accurate site plan.
I would be glad to speak to the Commission and Council about the
process.

1.) Addition is an overall upgrade of property, which will be more conforming with
other upscale homes in the Kimball Addition-( the most expensive subdivision in New
Hope).
2. Present AC:-~ finished area is only a modest 1196 sq. fL, the addition of 12' X 13'
would only bring it to a 1352 sq. fL A(~I~', hardly an over-improvement in size for this
3. Facts of Set backs are this- The property at 8919 36th Avenue North is 91.75' feet
from present improvement (Joe's home to my home)~ With our addition of 12' X 13'
being added you wouM sUII have 79.75' feet between improvements. Plus there are
lilac bushes on my side of the property, and evergreen pine trees recently planted on
3oe's side which offer additional buffer. * ]~t should also be noted that the recent
PLANNIN0 COMMISSION APpRO__VED_~ allowed the home in the Kimball
addition, located directly behind my home to be built (wMch totally destroyed my
rear views of open land) and is located only TS* from my improvements. Yet this is
Mlowed!!!l???
4. This 1965 built home is totally inadequate for closet and storage spac~ We gain in
addition to a modest mount of more living space, an adequate mount of storage
space for this home..A, unsightly tool shed does not have to be built.
S. As a CERT~ ~ RF. SEDF. NT/AL PROPI~TY A~PRAISER, I have
inspected and appraised many, many homes in New Hope, and have inspected and
appraised hundreds of other homes through out the entire 9 county metro area. !
would think that New Hope should reco~nize that most of the cities homes are
between 20-30 years old, and that improvements to these older homes should be
encouraged not discouraged. There comes a time at some point that you allow the
present housing stock to improve as to be more competitive with SUlTOundin_o
communltte~ Again, within reasons, which ! feel ! have given many pluses to my
case)
6.) No one came to oppose my addition at the planning commif~ion public hearing, in

7.) ! have a sat down with my neighbor, (the one mostly affected)showed him the
plans, examined the requested variance together, and he has no absolutely no
problem or objection~ Why does the planning commission then??
8.) The home will use the present roof line, be upgraded significtntly on the outside
and will be more aesthetically pleasing to the eye~ (Great care Jn design assures this)
By the time this addition is done, there would be no way that you could ever tell that
this was an addition .( Which is more than ! could say for some other approved
additions in this city)
9. A improvement like this is good for the community, it sets a positive example and
encourages upgrades to the cities present older honsin~o stock. Again ! feel that this
request is within reason and does not necessarily set a precedent, due to the great
distances between the improvements, and to the fact ora signed letter that yo~, have

CITY OF NEW HOPE
PLANNING CASE REPORT
Planning Case: 96-29
Request: Request for a Variance from the Side Yard Setback Requirement to Allow
Construction of an Addition
Location: 3532 Ensign Avenue North
PID No.: 19-118-21-21-0038
Zoning: R-l, Single Family Residential Zoning District
Petitioner: Jonathan & Christy Arnoldy
Report Date': August 2, 1996
Meeting Date: August 6, 1996
BACKGROUND
1. The petitioners are requesting a variance from the side yard setback requirement to allow
construction of a 12' x 13' addition and a 12' x 13' open porch/deck onto the existing residence,
pursuant to Sections 4.034(3)(c) and 4.22 of the New Hope Code of Ordinances.
2. The petitioner is proposing to construct a master bedroom addition to the north side of the
existing home. The addition would extend out 12 feet from the existing structure and would be
26 feet wide, with the front portion containing the bedroom addition and the rear portion
containing an upper level porch/open deck with an open/exposed roof for sunlight.
3. City code states that the side yard setback requirement in a .Single Family Residential Zoning
District is 10 feet for interior lots, with the exception that an attached garage can be located five
feet from the property line.
4. The proposed house addition would be located three (3) feet from the side yard property line,
therefore, a seven (7) foot variance from the ten (10) foot setback requirement is being
requested.
5. The property is located on a 100-foot deep lot with a 90-foot wide frontage on Ensign Avenue
North and a 105-foot rear property line width (approximately 9,900 square feet).
6. The property is located on the east side of Ensign Avenue just south of the 36"' Avenue
intersection. The property is located in a Single Family Residential Zoning District and is
surrounded by single family homes on the north/east/south/west. Note that the new Kimball
Addition is adjacent to the rear property line to the east.
7. The property is located in Planning District #24 of the Comprehensive Plan and no changes
were recommended to this established single-family neighborhood.
8. The topography of the property slopes toward the center of the rear yard, with a drop of four (4)
feet.
Planning Case 96-29 3 August 2. 1996
5. "Use compatibility" is maintained with this request, as many of the homes in the area have had
master bedroom expansions.
6. "Light and air," "street congestion," and "public safety" protections in the code are met with this
request.
7. "Property values" preservation is enhanced with this addition investment because it will not
appear to be "too close" to an adjacent home. The most affected neighbor's home is located at
8919 36th Avenue North, which faces a perpendicular street (see Building Official's Attachment
A). That home is over 90 feet away. The owner has signed a letter of approval for this
variance.
8. There are some lilac bushes and trees that will assist in buffering the addition from the
neighboring property, besides the large amount of distance.
9. A number of similar variances have been approved where the adjacent homes face another
street at a right angle and have a large distance between.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend approval of a variance to the side yard setback reqUirement to allow the
construction of an addition, subject to the following condition:
1. Building materials of addition and roof pitch to match existing structure.

PLANNING CASE REPORT
Planning Case: 96-30
Request: Request for a Variance from the Rear Yard Setback Requirement to Allow
Construction of a Garage Addition
Location: 7251 40th Avenue North
PID No.: 17-118-21-31-0030
Zoning: R-l, Single Family Residential, Zoning District
Petitioner: Richard & Patricia Bruins
Report Date: August 30, 1996
Meeting Date: September 3, 1996
BACKGROUND
1. The petitioners are requesting a variance from the rear yard setback requirement to allow
construction of a garage addition onto the existing garage, pursuant to Sections 4.034(3)(c)
and 4.22 of the New Hope Code of Ordinances.
2. The petitioners currently have an attached single car garage on the east side of the home.
They are proposing to construct a 12' x 22.8' (274 square foot) addition onto the garage, which
would expand the existing garage into an attached double garage.
3. City Code states that the rear yard setback requirement in a Single Family Residential Zoning
District is 35 feet.
4. The proposed garage addition would be located 25 feet from the rear yard property line,
therefore a ten (10) foot variance from the 35-foot rear yard setback requirement is being
requested.
5. The home was built in 1961 on a corner lot by the developer. As we have seen many times
before in New Hope, these rectangular lots at the end of the block were sized so that the
homes could be built parallel to the narrow frontage of the lot to fit better on the lot. However,
the home on this lot was built perpendicular to the narrow frontage. The Zoning Code definition
of"Lot Frontage" states that "the front of a lot shall be ... that boundary abutting a public right-
of-way having the least width." Although the front of the house faces north and for practical
purposes is the front yard, the Zoning Code defines the yard on the west side of the house as
the front yard because the property has a narrower frontage on Nevada Avenue (77.5 feet)
than it has on 40th Avenue North (117.5 feet). Because the home was built facing the wrong
street, home expansion possibilities have been limited.
6. The setbacks applied to this property, per Zoning Code definition are as follows:
Front yard (west) 35 feet Side yard (south) 10 feet
Side yard (north) 20 feet Rear yard (east) 35 feet
Planning Case 96-30 2 August 30, 1996
7. Therefore, while for all practical purposes, it appears that the home owner is expanding the
garage into the side yard where the usual setback requirement for an attached garage would
be five feet, the City Code defines it as an expansion into the rear yard where the setback
requirement is 35 feet. This is what necessitates the 10-foot variance request.
8. The property is located at the southeast intersection of 40th and Nevada Avenues and is
surrounded by single family homes on all sides.
9. The 117.5' x 77.5' lot contains approximately 9,106 square feet. The existing structure meets
all setback requirements except on the south side yard where a four (4) foot variance was
approved in 1984 allowing the property owner to construct a 12' x 14' porch six (6) feet from
the south side yard property line. (Please refer to attached information on 1984 variance.)
10. The property is located in Planning District #22 of the Comprehensive Plan and no changes
were recommended to this established single family neighborhood.
11. The topography of the property is generally fiat.
12. The petitioner states on the application that they want to add the single car garage addition to
the existing single car garage to provide for two (2) car use and to increase the value of the
home and future saleability.
13. The petitioner met with staff in a pre-application meeting.
14. Property owners within 350' of the request have been notified and staff have received no
comments regarding this request.
ANALYSIS
Variance
1. The purpose of a variance is to permit relief from strict application of the Zoning Code where
undue hardships prevent reasonable use of property and where circumstances are unique to the
property. A hardship may exist by reason of narrowness, shallowness, or shape of property or
because of exceptional topographic or water conditions. The hardship cannot be created by the
property owner, and if the variance is granted, it should not alter the essential character of the
neighborhood or unreasonably diminish or impair property values in the neighborhood.
2. "Undue hardship" as used in connection with the granting of a variance means the property in
question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official
controls, the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by
the landowner, and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use for the
property exists under the terms of the ordinance.
3. Additional criteria to be used in considering requests for a variance includes the following and the
Planning Commission/City Council shall make findings that the proposed action will not:
, P~nning Case 96-30 3 August 30, 1996
A. Consistent With Purpose of Variance. Be contrary to the purposes of a variance.
B. Light and Air. Impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property.
C. Street Connections. Unreasonably increase the congestion in the public street.
D. Public Safety. Increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety.
E. Property' Values. Unreasonably diminish or impair established property values within
the neighborhood, or in any other way be contrary to intent of City Code.
4. Staff find that there are several criteria in the Code that may be met with this request:
A. "Undue Hardship" may pertain if it can be argued that a single car garage is too small for
a household of the 1990s. Staff do not feel that the garage addition would alter the
essential character of the neighborhood. In addition, the fact that the lot is undersized
and the home faces the "wrong street" are beyond the control of the current owner.
B. "Use Compatibility" is maintained with this garage addition request, as 95% of the single
family homes in the area already have double garages.
C. "Light & Air," "Street Congestion," and "Public Safety" precautions in the Code are met
with this request.
D. "Property Values" should only increase with the investment in this addition.
5. The adjacent home to the east was also built facing the side yard and has a garage wall about
fifty (50) feet away from the proposed new addition. Exhibit A from the Building Official shows
an aerial view of both lots.
6. It does not appear that any other double garage options exist on this lot and the proposed
addition is only 12 feet wide and is not oversized.
7. The plans show that the garage addition will match the style and pitch of the existing garage
roof, with fiberglass asphalt shingles to be used. Siding and front brick will also match the
existing structure.
8. The Planning Commission and City Council previously approved a variance for this property in
1984 for a porch addition.
RECOMMENDATION
Pending comment from neighbors, staff recommend approval of the 10-foot rear yard setback
variance to allow the garage addition, subject to the following condition:
1. Exterior construction materials of addition to match existing structure.

PLAN CASE: 84-8
PETITION[R: Richard & Pat Bruins
REQUEST: Rear Yard setback Variance
SITE: 7251 '40 th Ave. No. ZONING: R-1
ZONTNG ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS;
I. Submittal;
A. Everything is in order.
II. Background;
A. The home-was built in 1961 on a corner lot, No permi, ts
have been issued since then.
III. Concerns;
A'. The petitioner has a non-economic hardship created
the improper construction of the home on the lot, As
we have seen many t.imes before, these rectangular corner
lots were sized so that the homes, had to be built parallel
the narrow frontage in order to work. Our zon?ng~ordinance
also requires that the narrower dimension frontage 'must be
the front yard. If the home had faced west, the addition,~
or a larger one, could have been built without a variance.
B. It must be confirmed that it is impossible to expand to the
north or east yard for the same use without a variance. We
appreciate their treatment of the north yard as the front,
but it is the side yard, legally, and the home is non-conform-
ing because of its location.
DATE: June 5, 1984
CASE: 84-8
PETITIONER: Richard and Pat Bruins
REQUEST: Sideyard Setback Variance of Four Feet.~ ·
LOCATION: 7251 40th Avenue North
ZONING: R-1
STAFF FINDINGS AND COMMENTS:
1. The petitioner is planning to construct a screened in porch that is
approximately 12 x 14 feet. A variance will be needed because the
porch will come within six feet of the property line. The Zoning
Code requires that there be at least 10 feet from any non garage
structure or improvement.
2. The home was built in 1961 on a corner lot by a developer.
3. The petitioner has a non economic hardship created by the improper
construction of the home on the lot. As we have seen many times
before, these rectangular lots were sized so that the homes could be
built parallel to the narrow frontage in order to work. Our Zoning
Ordinance does require that the narrower dimension of lots be the
front yard. In this case, the property owner considers the wider
frontage to be the front of his home. If the home had been properly
constructed (facing west) then no variance to build this addition
would be needed.
4. Technically, it must be confirmed that it is impossible to expand
to the north or east by the petitioner. This should at least be ex-
plored at the Commission meeting.
5. The neighbor to the south does have frontage to the west, and thus
the addition proposed by the petitioner will face his neighbor's side-
yard. It appears that concern will be probably be quite small from the
neighbor.- Staff recommends approval if the petitioner is unable to
locate further to the rear or to the north side. From staff's.perspec-
tive, it appears that this will not work.
PLANNING CA~E 84 - 8 - REQUEST FOR S~DEYARD SETBACK VARIANCE AT 7251 40TH AVENUE NORTH - RICHARD AND
PAT BRUINS, PETITIONERS.
Mr. Br~in$ stated he was requesting a four foot variance in the sideyard to allow him to construct
a porch, which would then put his porch to within six feet of the lot line. He had been told that the
house had been placed in the wrong location on the lot.
It will be a screened porch, not a three season porch. He did not feel t~ere was another location for
the porch. As proposed ~t would be off the kitchen, any other location would require the porch to be
located off the dining room. This location is more accessible.
Commissioner Anderson asked whether they intended to do any additiona~ screening?
Mr. Bruins said he had not planned on it. At the present time there is a chain link fence at the lot
line.
Commissioner Anderson confirmed that the roof and exterior materials would be harmonious with the rest
of the house.
Mr. Bruins said it would not be heated or insulated.
Commissioner .~nderson made a motion recommending, amDroval of the sideyard variance as reouested at

Planning Case: 96-21
Request: O.rdinance Amending New Hope City Code Section 4.036(4)(h)(xv)
Regulating Off-Street Parking by Requiring Perimeter Concrete Curbing
Around Off-Street Parking Areas
Location:
PID No.:
Zoning: R-4, R-5, R-O, B-l, B-2, B-3, B-4, I-1, and I-2
Petitioner: City of New Hope
Report Date: August 30, 1996
Meeting Date: September 3, 1996
UPDATE
1. At the August 6 Planning Commission meeting, City staff requested Planning Commission and
City Council approval of an Ordinance Amending New Hope City Code Section 4.036(4)(h)(xv)
Regulating Off-Street Parking by Requiring Perimeter Concrete Curbing Around Off-Street
Parking Areas.
2. As you are aware, City ordinance does not currently specifically require concrete curbing on
the interior of commercial and industrial sites, although the Planning Commission and City
Council have routinely required concrete curbing as a condition of approval for a conditional
use permit/PUD development. The Design & Review Committee has recommended that
consideration be given to amending the City Code to require concrete curbing on the interior of
all commercial/industrial developments so that the concrete vs. bituminous curbing will not be
an issue for future developments. It is the City Engineer's recommendation that all curbing be
constructed of concrete because bituminous is more prone to deterioration and is highly
susceptible to snow plow damage.
3. The City Attorney prepared the attached Ordinance Amending the New Hope City Code
Section 4.036(4)(h)(xv) Regulating Off-Street Parking by Requiring Perimeter Concrete
Curbing Around Off-Street Parking Areas. The current City Code states that "all open off-
street parking shall have a perimeter curb barrier around the entire parking lot" and the
proposed ordinance states that "all open off-street parking shall have continuous perimeter
concrete curbin.q, unless otherwise recommended by the City En.qineer around the entire
parking lot."
4. The current ordinance exempts single, two family and townhouses from installing perimeter
curbing and the revised ordinance continued that exemption; as the intent was to require
interior concrete curbing for commercial and industrial sites.
5. At the last Planning Commission meeting, several Commissioners indicated an interest in
revising the ordinance to require townhouses to also have perimeter concrete curbing. Staff
Planning case 96-21 2 ~' August 30, 1996
requested that the ordinance be tabled so that research could be completed on the number of
these townhouse complexes located in the City, the type of curbing that presently exists on
these sites and the impact that the ordinance revision would have on these complexes. This
research has been completed and is attached to this report.
6. After reviewing this information with the Planning Consultant, it is staff's recommendation
that this matter again be tabled and referred to the Planner for a more detailed report.
The Planner feels that certain situations would require interior concrete curbing, such as a
large complex with guest parking areas and private streets; while other smaller complexes that
utilize public streets for access similar to single family homes may not require interior perimeter
concrete curbing. If the Commission wants to pursue having this ordinance revised to include
townhouses, the Planner probably needs to better clarify the criteria that should be considered
when requiring or not requiring concrete curb.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends tabling the ordinance for one month until the October I Planning Commission
meeting.

PLANNING CASE REPORT
Planning Case: 96-21

Regulating Off-Street Parking by Requiring Perimeter Concrete Curbing
Around Off-Street Parking Areas
Location:
PID No.:
7oning: R-4, R-5, R-O, B-l, B-2, B-3, B-4, I-1, and I-2
Petitioner: City of New Hop®
Report Date: August 2, 1996
Meeting Date: August 6, 1996
BACKGROUND
1. City staff is requesting Planning Commission and City Council approval of an Ordinance
Amending New Hope City Code Section 4.036(4)(h)(xv) Regulating Off-Street Parking by
Requiring Perimeter Concrete Curbing Around Off-Street Parking Areas.
2. As you are aware, dudng the discussion of the Lasky PUD project the issue of bituminous vs.
concrete interior curbing was an issue. The City ordinance does not currently specifically
require concrete curbing on the intedor of commercial and industrial sites, although the
Planning Commission and City Council have routinely required concrete curbing as a condition
of approval for a conditional use permit/PUD development.
3. The Design & Review Committee has recommended that consideration be given to amending
the City Code to require concrete curbing on the intedor of all commercial/industrial
developments so that the concrete vs. bituminous curbing will not be an issue for future
developments.
4. It is the City Engineer's recommendation that all curbing be constructed of concrete because
bituminous is more prone to deterioration and is highly susceptible to snow plow damage.
5. The City Attorney has prepared the attached Ordinance Amending the New Hope City Code
Section 4.036(4)(h)(xv) Regulating Off-Street Parking by Requiring Perimeter Concrete
Curbing Around Off-Street Parking Areas. The current City Code states that "all open off-
street parking shall have a perimeter curb barrier around the entire parking lot" and the
proposed ordinance states that Wall open off-street parking shall have continuous perimeter
concrete curbinq, unless otherwise recommended by the City Enqineer around the entire
parking lot."
6. The Codes & Standards Committee reviewed this proposed ordinance amendment at their
June meeting and is recommending approval of the amendment.
Planning Case 96-21 2 ': August ~. 199,6
7. The amendment would be applicable to all Zoning Districts except for single, two-family and
townhouse developments.
8. A public hearing notice was published in the official newspaper and staff have received no
comments on the proposed amendment. The ordinance amendment would be effective upon
publication.
9. Please see the attached comments from the Building Official who supports the amendment.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend approval of the proposed amendment.

RE: Codes and Standards Meeting ProDosed Ordinance
for Off-Street Parking Standards/Continuous Concrete
Curbing for Parking Lots
Our File No:.gg.49~14
Dear Kirk:
Please find enclosed for consideration at the June 19, 1996 Codes
and Standards meeting a proposed Ordinance amending New NoDe Code
§4.036(4)(h)(xv) regulating curbing for off-street Darking lots.
It is my understanding the recommendation is for off-street Darking
lots to be constructed with concrete Derimeter curbing.
After reviewing the referenced code section, we simDly need to
insert the word "concrete" within the language of the section to
imDlement the recommendation. The enclosed DroDosed Ordinance
Drovides for the perimeter concrete curbing requirement.
Contact me if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CITY STAFF TO DRAW UPON KIMBALL ADDITION LETTER
OF CREDIT
The enclosed resolution authorizes City staff to draw upon the Kimball Addition Letter of
Credit. The developer originally provided a Letter of Credit in the amount of $133,500 on the
Kimball Addition development on 36~ Avenue for the installation of public improvements and
on-site extedor amenities. This amount was held to insure that specific improvements were
made. In August of 1995, the Letter of Credit was reduced to $25,000 to cover the work that
remained to be completed. The current Letter of Credit expires August 16, 1996. Although
most improvements are completed, the City Engineer still has several concerns, and there are
some outstanding planning bills for legal/engineering expenses that have not been paid. If a
new Letter of Credit is not provided before the expiration date of the current Letter, staff
requests authority to draw on the current Letter to cover the uncompleted items and unpaid
expenses.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

MOTION AUTHORIZING STAFF TO OBT/~N AN APPRAISAL FOR PROPERTY AT 4317 NEVADA
AVENUE NORTH
In late July,. General Inspector Jean Coone did an annual inspection of the house at 4317 Nevada.
During the inspection the General Inspector found many items that need to be fixed or replaced in
order for the house to be considered habitable. Items listed on the inspection report include rotting
windows and tdm, a crumbling foundation, replacement of the roof, and electrical and structural
repairs. After receiving the list of improvements the property owner called the General Inspector and
stated that he was interested in selling the home rather that putting additional money into fixing it up.
In response, staff sent a letter to the owner stating that the City is interested in purchasing the house
on a voluntary basis and that an appraisal on the site needs to be completed to determine the value of
the property. Once the appraisal is completed, the Council will determine if the City is interested in
purchasing the property. If the City decides to purchase the property, staff recommends that the
property be demolished and a new single familY home built on the site. Staff recommends demolition
of the property because of its very poor condition, size, and age.
If the City decides to acquire the property, the following funds may be used: $84,000 in CDBG
acquisition/scattered site housing funds, $40,000 from an MHFA Blighted Residential Grant received

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING RELEASE OF LETTER OF CREDIT ON DON HARVEY 2"0
ADDITIONNERSA DIE CAST EXPANSION PROJECT (PLANNING CASE 94-20)
The citY originally held a Letter of Credit in the amount of $215,200 on the Don Harvey 2"4
AdditionNersa Die Cast project at 3943 Quebec Avenue North for the installation of public
improvements and on-site extedor amenities. The amount was held to insure that specific
improvements were made, including new/rehabilitated bituminous surface, concrete curb,
storm sewer, pond excavation, and installation of landscaping and retaining wall. In
September of 1995 the owner/developer requested a partial release of the financial guarantee
on the project due to the fact that the majority of work had been completed. Upon the
recommendation of the City Engineer and Building Official, the Council reduced the Letter of
Credit to $5,000. This amount was held to insure that restoration around the pond was
completed.
The $5,000 Letter of Credit is now due ,to expire and either needs to be renewed or released.
The City Engineer and Building Official have inspected the property for completion of the
improvements and are recommending that the Letter of Credit be released, as all
improvements have been completed.
The enclosed resolution authorizes release of the Letter of Credit and staff recommends
approval of the resolution.

MOTION AUTHORIZING STAFF TO NEGOTIATE TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY AT
4317 NEVADA AVENUE NORTH WITH DAVID CURRY, OWNER (IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT #571)
At the August 12, New Hope City Council meeting, the City Council directed staff to have an
appraisal completed on the property located at 4317 Nevada Avenue North. BCL Appraisals
completed an appraisal of the property on August 21, and estimated that' the fair market value
of the property is $59,000.
The property is approximately 9,035 square feet. The house was built in 1938 and is
approximately 830 square feet in size. There is also a detached single car garage on the site.
The assessed value of the property is $62,000 ($22,500 land, and $39,500 building).
If the City decides to acquire the property, the following funds may be used: $32,000 in CDBG
acquisition/scattered site housing funds, $40,000 from an MHFA Blighted Residential Grant
received by the City in 1994, EDA funds, and TIF funds.
If the City decides to purchase the property at 4317 Nevada, the City staff recommends
demolishing the house immediately after purchase.
Due to the very poor condition of the property, staff recommends that that Council direct staff
to begin negotiations with the owner of 4317 Nevada for purchase of the property.

PROJECT BULLETIN
6067 WEST BROADWAY
Residents were nOtified in April 1996, that the City of New Hope purchased the property at 6067
West Broadway from HUD in October 1995. The City purchased the property with the intent to
demolish the house and construct a new single family home on the site. In June 1996, the house
located on the property was demolished. Since June, the City has been working with a company
on a single family house design for the property.
The single family home will be two stories and include three bedrooms, 1½ bathrooms, a living
room, dining room, kitchen, dinette, and two-car garage. Once construction is complete, the site
will be landscaped and sold to a first-time home buyer.
Construction Schedule
At their June 24 meeting, the New Hope Economic Development Authority approved the final
plans and specifications and ordered an Advertisement for Bids for a single family home to be
built at 6067 West Broadway.
Since the June 24 meeting, City staff has published an Advertisement for Bids for construction of
the single family home. The bids were due August 9, and were presented and approved by the
City Council on August 12. Construction on the property will begin sometime in the next two
weeks.
New Hope City Code states that construction can occur on the site between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00
p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays.
Site Upkeep
The site will be mowed on a weekly basis during the summer months.
