Crooked Pint is clear to start construction of a new restaurant at 40th & Lyndale, following the Planning Commission’s approval on Sept. 16.
The final proposal is different from the original — the developer couldn’t get enough homeowner signatures to allow a parking lot at 4008 Lyndale.
Instead, the developer will expand the existing vacant gas station to house the restaurant and one additional unknown tenant.
The restaurant needed city approval to provide zero parking spaces, instead of 13 normally required for a business of its size. The Planning Commission allowed the variance and required 20 bike parking spaces and off-street parking options like valet service.
