Approval of Minutes: MOTION BY KUYKENDALL, SECONDED BY WUELLNER, TO APPROVE THE JULY 22, 1996, MINUTES. Vote taken signified ayes by Wuellner, V onhof, Kuykendall, Criego and Stamson. MINUTES APPROVED. 4. Public Hearings: A. Case 96-068 - Maris Stolcen, requesting a lake shore setback of 0 feet for the construction of a deck to an existing cabin at 5395 Shore Trail NE. Planning Coordinator Jane Kansier presented the information from the Planning Report dated August 12, 1996. Staff recommended denial of the application because the applicant does not demonstrate a lack of hardship and has legal alternatives allowing reasonable use of the property. The DNR recommendation was for denial. Comments from the public: Maris Stolcers, owner of the property, passed out a written response and photos regarding his hardship. Stolcers explained how the proposed deck would be constructed on the 904 lake level. He does not believe the DNR response is accurate. He feels what he is proposing is not unique to other decks on the lake. Mr. Stolcers is willing to decrease the width of the deck by one foot to 9' x 20'. MNOII 296.DOC PAGEl Andy Valdmanis, 5405 Shore Trail, a neighbor, stated he had no problem with the applicant's proposal and feels it would enhance the property. There is no other place to put a deck. He feels the DNR sends out form letters and do not come out and look at properties. Comments from Commissioners: V onhof: . Applicant was well prepared with his comments on the hardship criteria. . Clarification on date of report and Resolution. . The variance hardship criteria are not met on 2 or 3 issues. . There are other alternatives. Kuykendall: . Concurs with Commissioner Vonhof. . Comparisons by applicant are not similar. The photos are not applicable. . The DNR is correct - there are other alternatives. The deck can be detached and accomplish the same as having a deck. . Applicant can build on the slope. . There are alternatives, it may not be convenient, but can be accomplished. . Support staff recommendation of denial. Stamson: . Concurs with Commissioners. . There are other alternatives. . Not being able to build a deck is not a hardship. . Agrees with staff: Wuellner: . Questioned applicant on the level of the home on the survey. Applicant responded the 904 is at the concrete wall. The home did flood in 1965. . The 904 high water mark was broke in 1993 and there was a lot of property damage. . Possible damage with an ice-out. . Concern for another high water year that could damage the home. . There are other options. Criteria has not been met. Criego: . No additional comments. Mr. Stolcers feels the Commissioners would help him enhance his property. Kuykendall explained the variance procedures and the problems with a home being on the high water mark. Criego suggested going to the City and find out what the platform deck requirements would be for his property. MOTION BY VONHOF, SECOND BY WUELLNER, TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 96- 26PC BASED ON THE FACT THE FOUR VARIANCE HARDSHIPS HAVE NOT BEEN MET. MNOIl296.DOC PAGEl Vote taken signified ayes by Vonhof, Wuellner, Criego, Kuykendall and Stamson. MOTION CARRIED. B. Case 96-071 - Dave Smith, requesting an impervious surface coverage of34% for the construction of a garage and driveway for the property at 2950 Spring Lake Road. Kansier presented the information from the Staff Report dated August 12, 1996. Staff recommends denial of the request due to the lack of demonstrated hardship. The DNR report pointed out Minnesota Rules limits impervious surface to 25% of the lot in a shore land district while the City allows 30%. Dave Smith, 2590 Spring Lake Road, said the neighborhood lots are similar. The lots were platted before the City Ordinances were in place. He also pointed out he lives on a sharp comer where there is heavy traffic and is safer for him to back around in the driveway. The garage was approved. Jim Winegar, 2591 Spring Lake Road, a neighbor, explained Mr. Smith's situation. He pointed out neighbors have had variances granted and Mr. Smith's request is consistent with the neighborhood. The hardship is from the aspect from public safety. Many people speed in the area. He is aware of the DNR criteria. Mr. Smith does have a home business and the neighbors would appreciate him storing his equipment in a garage. Mr. Smith has worked hard to improve the property and the proposed addition would further improve it. Comments from Commissioners. Stamson: . He understands the applicant and neighbors, but the standards have not been met. . The house and garage meet the livable use area. There are other legal options. Wuellner: . The property is substandard. The Commission approved the garage because it was consistent with the neighborhood and would not detract from the properties in the area. . If the Commission had this same information at the previous hearing the design would have to be changed to meet the impervious surface standards. . The garage area and driveway could be reduced. Impervious surface coverage is important. . Kansier responded the City requires a paved driveway and a gravel driveway is still impervious surface coverage. V onhof: . The City did not see there was an impervious surface issue and did not address it at the first meeting. . Impervious surface is a big issue. If there is some way to reduce the size of the driveway and get it down to 30% the Commission could look at that more favorably. The City standard for impervious surface is 30%. MN081296.DOC PAGEJ Kuykendall: . The impervious surface requirements are important. Would lean toward 25%. This is unique. . Need clarification of gravel for impervious surface. . Redesign the driveway. Be creative to allow applicant a way to build his garage. . Wingard said the wetland in the back of the property runs into marsh and the front yard into Spring Lake. . Kansier read the provisions from the ordinance. . Suggest tabling to get staff's definition of a gravel driveway and look at another way of looking at the situation. Wuellner: . Hesitates to approve a variance because the Commission has never granted a 3 car garage as a necessity. Criego: . If the facts were known at the first hearing, the Commissioners would have not allowed the 34% impervious surface. . Commissioners would like to have the applicant build, but the impervious surface has to be reduced. . Does not meet the hardship with a 3 car garage. . The Commissioners do not have to study the issues. Mr. Winegar pointed out previous commissions allowed hammerhead driveways so a person cannot back out into the traffic. Mr. Smith said the garage was approved and he needs the room for his snowmobiles and motorcycles. He has already gone ahead and spent money and reconstructed his yard under the assumption this could be built. Mr. Smith feels there is nothing in the ordinance that says he cannot have a gravel driveway. V onhof explained the variance granted was for garage setbacks with the understanding applicant build the garage and stay within the impervious surface coverage. Applicant can build the garage and make the driveway narrower. MOTION BY KUYKENDALL, SECOND BY WUELLNER, TO CONTINUE THE MA TIER TO THE NEXT MEETING WHEN CLARIFICATION BY STAFF CAN BE MADE REGARDING GRAVEL REQUIREMENTS. Vote taken signified ayes by Kuykendall, Wuellner, Stamson and Vonhof. Criego nay. MOTION APPROVED. C. Case 96-067 - Eagle Creek Villas request a 21 foot front yard variance for properties at 4170-4176 CJ Circle. Jane Kansier reviewed the Staff Report dated August 12, 1996. Staff recommends approval of the requested variance. Circumstances surrounding this property are somewhat unique and the hardship criteria had been met. MN08I296.DOC PAGE 4 Attorney, Bryce Huemoeller, on behalf of Eagle Creek Villas explained the lot was part of a townhouse project started in 1983. Eagle Creek Villas bought this one which was originally approved for four units. The area around the unit is controlled by associations. The applicant talked to the City and felt there were no variances needed. Applicant feels there is a hardship and is eligible for a variance. They would like to use the property in a reasonable and sensible manner building three units which would be better than the original four units. The City affirmed it was a buildable property and applicant followed all of the procedures. The property is unique and there are no other alternatives. Comments by Commissioners: Criego: . The hardship is made. . The developer had approval from City. . Agree with staff recommendation to approve variance. V onhof: . Concurs. Hardships have been met. Builder is restricted by the constraints of the association and the building envelope. Also there was an apparent error by the City at an undetermined time. . The problem is not with the present property owners. Kuykendall: . Agree with hardships 1 and 3. . This is more of a Planned Unit Development. . No major problems. Stamson: . Concur with the Commissioners. . The problems are mistakes made by the City and/or the problem with developing at different times. Wuellner: . The building envelope is the same as it was in 1983. . The application for the building permit showed the same site plan. . The analysis to the PUD is correct. MOTION BY VONHOF, SECOND BY KUYKENDALL, TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 956-25PC. Vote taken signified ayes by Vonhof, Kuykendall, Stamson, Wuellner and Criego. MOTION CARRIED. A recess was called at 8:36 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 8:47 p.m. MN081296.DOC PAGE' D. Case 96-061 - Consider Amendment to Zoning Ordinance to permit churches and day care facilities in the C-1, Conservation District. The hearing was called to order at 8: 47 p.m. and a sign-up sheet was circulated to the public in attendance. Jane Kansier presented the information from the Staff Report dated August 12, 1996. This request was initiated by staff in the interest of correcting an apparent error in the ordinance. Staff recommended approval of the amendment. Leanne Weyrauch, 16457 Five Hawks Avenue, stated she needs more information on the subject and suggested including early childhood, family education and pre-school facilities in the proposed amendment. Comments from Commissioners: Vonhof: . Parochial schools are permitted in the C I District but not churches. . Agrees to include and cover all the uses. Kuykendall: . Questioned the role of the churches related to private enterprise and what can be allowed. . As presented, he is not opposed. Wuellner: . The intent is to change the zoning ordinance in the near future. . Kansier stated the intent is to look at the entire ordinance within the next year. . The City does not want to piece meal the ordinance. Stamson: . It is a band aid issue until we can fix it later. . Concurs with staff. Criego: . Need to specify what happens in the church? . Jane responded schools are permitted in the district and daycare and pre-school will fit into the ordinance. MOTION BY VONHOF, SECOND BY WUELLNER, TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 96-xx TO ALLOW CHURCHES IN A C-l CONSERVATION ZONING DISTRICT. Vote taken signified ayes by Vonhof, Kuykendall, Stamson, Wuellner and Criego. MOTION CARRIED. The public hearing was closed. MN081296.DOC PAGE 6 E. Case 96-062 - Consider Amendment to Zoning Ordinance to permit fences in County road right-of-way. The hearing was called to order and a sign-up sheet was circulated to the public in attendance. Jane Kansier presented the issues in the Staff Report dated August 12, 1996. Staff recommendation was for direction by Planning Commission to draft ordinance language. Scott County Engineer Bradley Larson's written response was to oppose the ordinance as written and recommended ''the ordinance specify that no fences shall be placed within the right-of-way of Prior Lake streets." Criego questioned the City's authority for granting this ordinance change. Comments by the public: Russell Lawrence, 16493 Five Hawks Avenue, said the County and State ditches have certain allowable recreational vehicles. Putting up a fence in the right-of-way would create a problem. Also plowing for the County could be a problem depending on where the fence was located. He also pointed out with the utilities buried in the area the fence would have to have pretty good size footings. Don Kotula, 14031 Harbor View NE, distributed pictures of the area. His issue is the road noise with the growing traffic. The fence would stop noise and traffic. He said he was not anti- recreational vehicles but they drive on their property. It would not make a difference if the fence was constructed further back on the association property. The County would not approve the fence. Comments by Commissioners: Stamson: . The issue is whether the City can control, or should control, fencing in County right-of-way. . The State and County can construct whatever they want no matter what the City says. . As it is written now the City has some say or at least some negotiating stance with a private citizen coming in to build something. By changing the ordinance the City loses the ability to negotiate. . By changing the ordinance the City would lose the ability to work with other governments. . Ordinance is fine the way it is written. Wuellner: . Does the City want an opinion on this and try to regulate right-of-way on a county road? . The City should have great deal to say about this. . There is no good argument for putting a fence in a right-of-way. V onhof: . Agree with comments. . Ordinance should remain. . State has a tendency to turn roads over to local authority. . This will have an impact down the line. . Keep right-of-ways open. MN081296.DOC PAGE 7 Kuykendall: . In favor of not changing the ordinance as it exists. . The City should not construct private structures on public facilities. . Question for planning in the comprehensive level. Suggest revising our highway zones and be creative. There can be certain restrictions. . Call it a sound barrier as opposed to a fence. . The highway authority should consider a sound barrier if it meets their standards. . Noise can be controlled by vegetation. . Check with the Dept. of Transportation on vegetation. . Fence your own property for trespassers. Criego: . Agrees. . Do not change ordinance. . Noise is a problem on County Road 42. . Rather than change the ordinance there might be a variance caused by the noise. The City could look at a variance. It might give the Harbor the latitude with the County. Open discussion: . This problem is the same on Highway 13. . Residents in the Harbor will finance this fence. . A fence does not belong out there. . The Commissioners do not need to study the issues. A qualified person should look at the issue. . County will not approve this. State understands these kinds of issues. . Do not change ordinance but allow some positive motion to go to the County. MOTION BY KUYKENDALL, SECOND BY YONHOF, THE REQUEST BE DENIED AND NO CHANGE TAKE PLACE AT THIS TIME IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE. Vote taken signified ayes by Kuykendall, Yonhof, Criego, Stamson and Wuellner. MOTION CARRIED. Kuykendall suggested staff look at the other cities and related issues before a variance is considered. Kansier explained the use variances are illegal in the State of Minnesota, the City can grant height and location, not uses. MOTION BY KUYKENDALL, SECOND BY YONHOF, TO REVIEW PRACTICES ON STATE, COUNTY AND CITY ROADS FOR NOISE CONTROL BOTH ON AND OFF PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. Open Discussion: . The issue is with the applicant, not the City to investigate. The fence is a county project. AMENDMENT BY KUYKENDALL, SECOND BY YONHOF, REQUEST STAFF TO LOOK INTO THE PRACTICES OF OTHER GOYERNMENT AUTHORITIES (MUNICIPAL, MNOSt296.DOC PAGES COUNTY, AS WELL AS THE STATE DEPT. OF TRANSPORTATION) TO DETERMINE HOW THEY ARE ADDRESSING THE SAME ISSUE. INCORPORATE OTHER WAYS OF ACCOMPLISHING THE OBJECTIVES. IN ADDITION INVESTIGATE IF APPLICANT CAN REQUEST A VARIANCE TO PUT IN A NOISE ENBANKMENT ON COUNTY PROPERTY. Vote taken signified ayes by Kuykendall, V onhof, Stamson, Wuellner and Criego. MOTION CARRIED. The public hearing is closed. 5. Old Business: Case 96- 055 - Eagle Creek Assisted Living Facility Hearing Continued. Kansier reviewed issues from the last meeting and addressed the following issues: 1) The City Attorney determined the applicant should amend the PUD; 2 & 3) Waterline and traffic issues- Engineering Memo dated August 7, 1996; 4) Trail plan for the area; 5) Overflow parking; 6) Definition of assisted living; and 7) Modifications to Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommended approval of the Schematic Plan, subject to a Comprehensive Plan amendment related to density, satisfactory resolution of the parking issue and modification of the plan to show the extension of Five Hawks Avenue. Wingard summarized the water system. Five Hawks Avenue would feed of an 8" line. It would improve the fire protection. The pressure would increase and meet requirements. Wingard also said the extension of Five Hawks Avenue through the site would require a considerable amount of disturbance through the area. If not extended through this site, there will be minimal impacts to the City's overall transportation system. The streets will still be able to function without being congested. Overflow parking would be beneficial for the people who want to use the trail system. Suggest using off street parking. Kansier said Planning staff feels the 33 spaces is not enough. Ordinance requires 1 parking place for each unit - 61 spaces. Nursing homes generally generate traffic at.2 trips per day. This facility will be more active. Comments from the public: Wilt Berger, architect for Eagle Creek Villas, presented the revised parking area showing additional flat areas that can be expanded to parking. The average age of residents would be 80 to 85 years old whose parking needs are reduced by 50%. Parking is directly correlated with. the age of the residents. This parking proposal maintains as much natural vegetation as possible on site. The second issue was to deal with the trail system. Mr. Berger said the developer does not have a problem with constructing a trail through the property. Wingard commented on the waterline along the eastern side of the property. Cates Street would have to be tom up. The City would also have to go through a wetland. MNOI1296.DOC PAGE 9 Mr. Huemoeller, representing the developer, urged the Commission to approve Alternative #2 of the Staff Report. He feels when the development was originally proposed, Cates Street had only one entrance and it was necessary for Five Hawks Avenue to go through. Now there are other outlets. There are environmental problems connecting the road. Priorwood Street would help with the traffic congestion. The Comprehensive Plan does not affect this project. Connecting the road is unrelated to this project. The cost should not come from the developer. The engineering department does not see a need for it as well as the neighbors. Comments from the Commissioners: Wuellner: . The verbiage in the Comprehensive Plan quoted earlier was written prior to the knowledge of the Planning Commission that Eagle Creek Villas was coming. . The street should not go through but would push strongly for a trail. Take advantage of the significant environmental aspects of the property. . Would not required the developer to make right-of-way for Five Hawks available to the City in any form. . It is not reasonable for the Planning Commission to find a place for the watermain to go through. The developer can solve the problems with engineering. . Strong recommendation of Alternative #2 in the Staff Report. Stamson: . Extension of Five Hawks is a bad idea. . Strongly feel a trail should go through. . The watermain is a wash cost wise. Move to the east with the least environmental impact. . Parking is better to err on too much rather than not enough. . Pollution and runoff control is an issue. Deal with easily before hand. If applicant is tacking on parking later - reconstruction would have to be done. Parking should be more than .5 space. . Would like to see more detail on the parking. . Recommending Alternative #2 of the Staff Report. Vonhof: . Recommendation to City Council on the assisted living facility is appropriate on this site. . Amend Comprehensive Plan to deal with the density. . Amend Comprehensive Plan on completion of Five Hawks Avenue. It should not be connected. Would rather see a trail. . The issue of definition of assisted living is addressed better through the PUD process and developer rather than an amendment definition to the Comprehensive Plan. . Parking should be 1 per unit. Should be done at this time, more difficult to do later. Ordinance says 1 per unit. . Support of Recommendation #2 of the Staff Report with addition of amendments. Kuykendall: . Support the 1.0 parking. Important to do it now and do it right - have a quality facility. . Meet the standards of our Comprehensive Plan. . Street extension should be pedestrian right-of-way but should be a public right-of-way. . The City Engineer has to decide the best watermain condition. MNOI1296.DOC PAGEIO . The Planning Commission does not have to modify the Comprehensive Plan and still connect the neighborhoods. . Pedestrian traffic is allowed. It is also necessary to allow the area for emergency vehicles. . These things are important to the public on both sides of this development. From a cost standpoint compared to other developments, this is a very inexpensive development. So cost-wise it is in the public interest to maintain as a public facility. . Change density as recommended. . Let the issues be determined by engineers. . The only variance he suggested to consider is the trade-off where trees have to be removed. Criego: . Berger addressed the parking ratio. . Concurs with the rest of the Commissioners. Doris Wilker, 16493 Five Hawks Avenue, stated the development is a wonderful concept but she works in this area and questioned the need for 61 parking spaces. She has more of a concern for getting buses and private cars in and out of the area. It is possible down the road other people will be using this facility. People with mental health issues, chemical dependency issues and also developmental disabilities. If the developer wants the residents of the facility to be 55 years or older it should be addressed. Ms. Wilker's other concern is for the pathway. The paths are great but go nowhere - there are no connecting sidewalks. The residents should be included with these trails. She lives on Five Hawks and resents having to pay for a sidewalk. Wingard showed the extension between Five Hawks. Trails are stubbed into streets in other developments. MOTION BY VONHOF, SECOND BY WUELLNER, TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE SCHEMATIC PLAN WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: THERE SHOULD BE NO ROAD EXTENSION OF FIVE HA WKS AVENUE. AMEND THE PLAN TO MAKE IT CLEAR THE CONNECTION IS PUBLIC NON-MOTORIZED PEDESTRIANIBIKE PATH ORIENTED SPECIFIC TO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE SHOULD BE A PUBLIC TRAIL; TRAIL ACROSS THE CREEK; AND A TRAIL PLANNED OUT WITH THE SCHOOL, CITY AND DEVELOPER. ADEQUATE PARKING BE PROVIDED - 1 PER UNIT. CONSTRUCTED NOW, NOT LATER. THE WATERLINE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. THE EXACT LOCATION WILL BE DISCUSSED AT THE PLATTING STAGE OR THE MORE SPECIFIC DEVELOPING STAGE. CRITERIA IS TO REDUCE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND STILL PROVIDE ADEQUATE PRESSURE. MODIFY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR DENSITY FOR THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY AND DELETE FIVE HA WKS AVENUE CONNECTION STATEMENT. MODIFY THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO ALLOW FOR IT. DEVELOPER IDENTIFY THE USERS OF THE PROPOSED FACILITY. MN08I 296.DOC PAGEIl Vote taken signified ayes by Vonhof, Wuellner, Stamson, Kuykendall and Criego. MOTION CARRIED. 6. New Business: A. Gensmer Appeal Regarding Lot 7, Maple Park Shore Acres Jane Kansier presented the information from the Staff Report. Staff recommended the Planning Commission recommend to City Council that it uphold the staff interpretation of the ordinance. Staff received a letter dated June 17, 1996 sent in response to a complaint dockage was being rented to persons who did not live in the subdivision in which the dockage was located. Staff investigated on May 29, and noted two docks were located on the subject property and three boats were moored at the two docks. This was verified by staff on June 19, following mailing of the notice of violation. Upon receipt of the appeal, staff again visited the site and noted two docks with four boats moored at the docks. Section 5-5-3 of the ordinance deals with permitted and conditional uses. This section was cited in the belief that rental of dock space is one of the primary activities associated with marinas and the respondent states they are leasing dock space. Marinas are not a permitted use in the R-l District. Bryce Huemoeller, the attorney representing respondent was present. His position was the plat of Maple Park Shores Acres was platted years ago and predates the ordinance by 40 years. This is not a common beach area. It is a lot being rented to 4 people to have short term seasonal docks in the water that comply with DNR regulations. The provision of the ordinances uses the word "may" be developed..." which leaves it optional. The owner's position is he has a lease that complies. It is not a violation of the ordinance. The lot is used for beach activities. Comments from Commissionen: Kuykendall: . Agrees with Staff's interpretation for reasons stated in their staffreport. . Mentioned DNR water regulations. Vonhof: . Agree it is not a commerical marina but it runs against the intent of the ordinance. . There is no specific language. MN08I296.DOC PAGEI2 Stamson: · Principal use is residential and this area is zoned residential but it is not a buildable lot. It does not apply to Section 5-4-1. Primary use is leasing out dock space. . Applicant can deed back to the homeowners and they can use it. Wuellner: . Is for alternative #2 of the Staff Report and accept the appeal for dock rental. . Not convinced it is not a prohibited use. It is a reasonable use if you can not live on it. Criego: . It is not intended to lease out slips. . This is a Rl zone. . It is not a permitted use. . Agree with Staff recommendation. Open discussion comments: . The owner of the property can have a slip. . This is a commerical issue. Someone is making money. . Go through the conditional use process. . It is not addressed in our zoning. . It is a plotted lot and has to have some use. . It is not in compliance. Commissioner Stamson read Section 9, page 3, subparagraph 9.2 B 4 of the Shoreland Ordinance which states: 4. "Prohibited Uses. Any uses which are not permitted or conditional uses as regulated by the applicable zoning district underlying this Shoreland District as indicated on the official Zoning Map of the City." MOTION BY KUYKENDALL, SECOND BY STAMSON, TO RECOMMEND CITY COUNCIL UPHOLD THE STAFF INTERPRETATION AND CITE SECTION 9.2 B 4. Vote taken signified ayes by Kuykendall, Stamson and Criego, nays by Wuellner and V onhof. MOTION CARRIED. 7. Announcements and Correspondence: Lake tour scheduled for Tuesday, August 20, at 4:00 p.m. MN081296.DOC PAGEI3 8. Adjournment: MOTION BY VONHOF, SECOND BY KUYKENDALL TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. Vote taken signified ayes by Vonhof, Kuykendall, Stamson, Wuellner and Criego. MOTION CARRIED. The meeting adjourned at 11 :09 p.m. Don Rye Director of Planning Connie Carlson Recording Secretary I I: MNOIl296.DOC PAGE14 / PLANNING REPORT PUBLIC HEARING: DATE: 4A DON RYE, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING CONSIDER THE APPLICATION OF EBENEZER RIDGES TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO ALLOW "ADULT DAY CARE" FACILITIES IN BUSINESS & RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS. YES AUGUST 26, 1996 AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: SUBJECT: PROPOSAL: The applicant is seeking an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance in order to include adult day care facilities as a permitted use within the business and residential zoning districts. The Zoning Ordinance provides that if a land use is not specifically designated as either permitted or conditional in the City, it is considered prohibited. In such case, the property owner may request a study to determine if the use is acceptable and, if so, what district would be most appropriate for the use and what conditions and standards, if any, should be attached to the development of the use. ANALYSIS: DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED USE: Adult day care is similar to children's day care as it provides a safe place for those who cannot completely care for themselves. Adult day care entails more than babysitting. Typically, a variety of health, recreational and social services as well as nutritional and emotional support are provided to program participants. Adult day care centers also provide "respite" care for people caring for older individuals or family members at home. It provides an opportunity for the care giver to drop the person they are caring for at the day care center and enables the care giver to go shopping or tend to other personal business without the concern of leaving the individual alone. Adult day care has not received the recognition that children's day care has received nationally however, in the last twenty years the number of adult day care centers in the United States has risen from 15 to more than 3,000, and in light of the dynamics of an aging population, it is likely that the need will continue to grow. -1- 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER LAND USE RATIONALE: In establishing a new land use in the ordinance, it is appropriate to compare the land use to other similar uses which are currently permitted within the Zoning Ordinance. At present, the land use in the Ordinance which appears most similar to adult day care is children's day care for more than 12 children. Currently, this land use is a permitted use in the B1 Limited Business District and B-2, Community Business and is permitted as a conditional use in the R-2 Residential, R3 Multiple Residential and R4 Mixed Code Residential Districts. The characteristics of both land uses are both similar. They are low intensity and they generate modest amounts of traffic compared to other land uses which would occupy a similar area and typically have very little in the way of nuisances characteristics to distinguish them. Because of the fact that people are dropped off, it is helpful for such uses to have ready access to the major street system without generating traffic through adjoining residential areas. Parking demands for such uses would typically be limited to the need for staff parking and sufficient parking for persons dropping off and picking up clients of the adult day care center. ZONING TREATMENT BY OTHER CITIES: Staff contacted several cities in the metropolitan area to determine how adult day care was handled in their current zoning ordinances. Treatment of adult day care ranged from permitting them outright to not allowing them anywhere in the City. Several staff members from other cities indicated this was primarily due to the fact that a request for such use had not been received and one local official indicated that they would consider allowing the use under the day care provisions of their current ordinance even though adult day care was not specifically listed. The following summary of treatment of the adult day care and other ordinances: St. Louis Park - permitted with conditions in the high density residential district and the commercial and office districts. Golden Valley - permitted in residential districts with 12 or fewer persons. Chanhassen - not covered in city code. Savage - permitted home occupation and residential districts. Eagan - conditional use in some commercial districts. NECESSARY ZONING TREATMENT: If this use is to be permitted it will be necessary to define the use to determine the districts in which it should be located and to establish parking requirements. Staff believes it would be appropriate to treat adult day care in the same fashion as children's day care. For 12 or fewer persons, adult day care could be a permitted use in the R1 and R2 Urban Residential Districts. For more than 12 persons, the use should be as a -2- conditional use in the R3 Multiple Residential and R4 Mixed Code Residential District and as a permitted use in the B1 Limited Business District, B2 Community Business District and B3, General Business District. The following definition of adult day care is suggested. ADULT DAY CARE: A facility that provides care to functionally impaired adults on a regular basis for periods of less than 24 hours in a structure that is not the residence of the person being served or the facility operator. Some characteristics of this use are similar to family day care in nursing homes. This use is appropriate in commercial and high density residential areas particularly if there is accessibility to outdoor areas for sitting or exercise. The following off-street parking requirement is suggested. Two parking spaces for every five program participants licensed by the State of Minnesota. In the case of the applicant this would result in a demand for 12 parking stalls for 30 clients. This would provide parking for the six staff members that provide six additional stalls for dropping off and picking up clients. ALTERNATIVES: The Planning Commission has three alternatives available to it. 1. The Planning Commission may recommend denial of the request. 2. The Planning Commission may defer the request pending receipt of additional information as may be deemed appropriate. 3. The Planning Commission may recommend approval of the request as proposed or with specific modifications. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that alternative 3 be followed and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request as modified to permit adult day care as a permitted use in the B1 Limited Business District, the B2 Community Business District and the B3 General Business District and as a conditional use in the R3 Multiple Residential and R4 Mixed Code Residential Districts. It is recommended that Adult Day Care for 12 or fewer persons be allowed as a permitted use in the R1 Suburban Residential and R2 Urban Residential Zoning Districts. It is further recommended the definition of adult day care cited above be adopted and the recommended parking requirement also be adopted.

(612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER PLANNING REPORT SITE: PRESENTER: PUBLIC HEARING: DATE: 4B CONSIDER ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO PERMIT ARCADES IN THE B-3, GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT N/A DONALD RYE, PLANNING DIRECTOR _X_ YES _NO-N/A AUGUST 26, 1996 AGENDA ITEM: SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION: The applicant has applied for an amendment to the zoning ordinance to allow "arcades, billiards/pool, equipment, etc." as a permitted use in the B-3 General Business District. BACKGROUND: Some time ago, staffwas asked by the management of Prior dale Mall whether a video game arcade was permitted in the Mall. Staff informed the management that this was not a permitted or conditional use in the B-3 district and, if they wished to pursue the issue, it would be necessary to seek an amendment to the zoning ordinance. The applicants came to City Hall and discussed the procedure with staff and subsequently filed this application. The ordinance provides that a use not specifically designated as a permitted or conditional use anywhere in the City is considered prohibited and authorizes the Planning Commission to initiate an amendment to the ordinance if it finds, after due consideration, that such a use is acceptable and whether it should be a permitted or conditional use. DISCUSSION: In a letter in support of the application, the applicant clarified their intent as to what type of business they wished to open. In addition to video games, they also propose pool tables, dart games and other electronic games. In addition, they would include a concession area for snacks and soft drinks, a small retail area for T-shirts, game supplies and so forth, and a meeting and conversation area. The intent is to provide a gathering place for young people in the City which provides a variety of functions. So-called video arcades became popular in the late 1970's and early 1980's. The initial reaction of many communities was not favorable towards such uses and, as a result, imposed strict regulations on the establishment and operation of these uses. Over time, some communities realized that such uses, in and of themselves, were not necessarily problematic and that problems associated with these facilities were more often the result of the quality of management. Nevertheless, the potential for some problems remain, based largely on location and hours of operation. 16200 ~~00f~~. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER The application is not limited to a video arcade but includes other elements as well as noted above. The question then becomes what to call the proposed land use for regulatory purposes and what elements of the use should be used to develop a definition for it. Presently, the B-3 district allows retail, eating and drinking establishments, commercial recreation and recreation equipment sales, service and repair as permitted uses and places of assembly as conditional uses. While the proposed use has some characteristics of all of these uses, the relatively large area proposed for pool and other games would lead one to call it a pool hall or game room with incidental retail sales and snacks for sale. The commercial recreation category would appear to be the best descriptor of this use but the definition of commercial recreation in the ordinance limits it to large scale, outdoor activities which do not require sewer and water and includes fairs, shooting ranges and airports. It is apparent from the definition that indoor commercial uses were not considered to be part of commercial recreation. The ordinance does not deal well with mixed uses. The PUD section of the code allows for a mixture of housing types, religious and educational facilities and commercial and industrial uses in a PUD but it does not provide direction, criteria, standards or criteria which direct how this should be accomplished. The code is silent on how this should be handled in a Business District. ISSUES Location- Often, with recreation facilities, there is a concern about the location of the use, particularly its proximity to residential land uses. These uses sometimes are problematic because of relatively high activity levels associated with the use and sometimes generate a significant number of complaints. There may sometimes be problems associated with the use if it is in a free-standing building as opposed to being in a multi-tenant building. Staff has already heard concerns expressed over the use being located in the Mall by one of the Mall tenants. Whether this concern is justified is not possible to predict because of the variables involved. However, there is at least the perception that such a use in close association with other uses may result in problems. This is exemplified to some extent by the recent action of the Mall Of America in barring youths under the age of 16 from the Mallon weekends. Parkin~- If there is only one principal use involved, the determination of parking requirements is relatively simple. However, in this case, there are what appear to be several principal uses in the proposed facility and the determination of required parking is more difficult because of the lack of direction in the ordinance. Most ordinances contain some guidelines for parking determinations when there are multiple uses in one tenant space, but the current code does contain such a provision. Even if the use was permitted, there is no easy way to determine required parking. Hours of Operation and Activity Levels- Some pool halls and video arcades are open for extended periods of time while others operate hours similar to most other businesses. ARCADE.DOCIDR 2 Recreation-oriented uses tend to stay open longer than retail or service uses, primarily in order to provide opportunities to those people who work hours different from 9 to 5. This, in conjunction with the often higher activity levels of these uses, can create problems if located close to residential property. Some communities have addressed this by imposing controls on the hours of operation and have imposed spacing standards between such uses and residential uses as a means of minimizing the potential adverse impacts on residential uses. COll\Patibility with Other Uses in the Same Zonin~ District- The B-3 District is the general business district in the City and permits a wide variety of uses with very different characteristics. Many of the uses would be considered "heavy" uses in that they generate significant amounts of traffic or have nuisance characteristics not common to other business uses. The proposed use has similar characteristics to restaurants, health clubs and theaters, although, over the course of a day, the proposed use will likely generate less traffic than the other uses. The discussion under Location above touched on what some perceive to be a compatibility issue, but in many respects, this may be more of a management issue than a land use issue. Proper Zonin~ Treatment- There are several questions dealing with the best zoning treatment of this use. From a district standpoint, the B-3 District as it currently exists, is the proper district. One question is whether the use should be narrowly defined along the lines proposed by the applicant or whether the ordinance should consider a broader class of private recreational use and include the proposed use in this broader category. While staff favors the latter approach, it may be better to attempt this as part of the development of the new zoning ordinance. The B-3 could be amended to include the use as proposed. Another question relates to how strictly the City should control the use. Should the use be conditional or permitted? Should the City impose restrictions on hours of operation? What parking standards should be imposed? Should proximity to residential uses be regulated? Staff believes that it is appropriate to establish game rooms (video arcades, pool halls) as conditional uses in the B-3 district, subject to the following conditions in addition to those all conditional uses must meet: . The hours of operation shall be limited to between 9:00AM and 10:00PM. . Such use shall be located at least 150 feet from the nearest residential structure. . Parking shall be calculated based on all uses within the structure or tenant space, using parking standards in the code. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Recommend approval of the attached ordinance amendment 2.

The following is the clarification requested per your letter of August 9, 1996. It was my understanding per previous conversations with you that I needed to apply for an amendment to the current zoning for the 8-3 area, since the current zoning reads that "an arcade, billardslpool, combat games, etc." are not allowed, and that your understanding of what I am planning on opening falls into that area. However, when I submitted my application along with the $350.00 application fee on August 6, 1996, I questioned the definition of arcade at that point, at which time no definition could be given according to city zoning. The definition according to Webster's Dictionary is : ar-cade: 1. a long arched building or gallery 2: an arched covered passageway or avenue (as between shops) 3: a series of arches with their columns or piers. Although I was surprised at this definition, it certainly has nothing to do with what is a current "slang" definition relating to amusement games, at which appears to be the need for the requested zoning permit. To best clarify my planned usage is: To provide a well structured, adult supervised, youth community gathering area, for the ages of 17 and under, however, not exclusive to that age catagory. Within this area, we are planning of having: 1. Concession area a. pop b.hotdogs c. prepare frozen pizzas d. various prepackage snacks Le. pretzels, chips, candy bars, etc. 2. Retail area (In future) a. dart supplies b. pool supplies c. t-shirts, sweatshirts d. novelty items 3. Amusement games area, including but not limited to: a. jukeboX b. pin ball machines c. video games d. dart machines e. pool tables f. air hockey tables g. foosball tables 4. Conversation/meeting area a. gathering area to - 1. plan school projects 2. play table games, i.e. monopoly, scrabble, etc. 3. meet and sociaHze with friends 4. hear speakers that we are planning on bringing into the center to talk to the youth about topics relating to them. Such as: 1. speakers from 4 branches of military service 2. drug and alcohol use 3. violence-its not o.k. 4. dealing with anger 5. pressure from those around you I hope this will help clarify any misunderstandings as to the intended use. If you have any further questions or are in need of any further information, please do not hesitate to call. I am looking forward to the meeting on August 26, 1996.

RYE, PLANNING DIRECTOR _X_ YES NO-N/A AUGUST 26, 1996 The purpose of this public hearing is to consider an application for preliminary plat to be known as "Maple Hills Second Addition". A preliminary plat identifies proposed lot locations, areas and dimensions, road locations, storm sewers, grading, location and grade of sewer and water, landscaping and tree replacement plans, and other improvements to an undeveloped site. Once preliminary plat approval is granted, the property owner has a vested interest in the plat. For one year following preliminary plat approval, no ordinance amendment shall apply to or affect the use, development density, lot size, lot layout, dedication required or permitted by the approved preliminary plat. PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS: Applicant: Property Owner: Location of Property: i' f ' I Zoning and Land Use Designation: Maple Hill Partnership 6001 Glendale Avenue Minneapolis, MN 55422 Sharon Peterson 4663 140th Street NE Prior Lake, MN 55372 This site is located directly south of CR 42, about 1/4 mile east of Chatonka Beach Road. This site is zoned R-1 (Suburban Residential) and is designated for Low to Medium Density Residential uses on the 2010 Comprehensive Plan. The site is 16200 tkW'~~Ws;.ve, S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax {g~.117-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Adjacent Land Use and Zoning: Proposed Development: largely wooded, with a single family dwelling located on the north end of the site. Access to this site is presently from CR 42. The property to the south of this site is undeveloped land, presently zoned R-1 and C-1 (Conservation), and is designated for Low to Medium Density Residential use on the 2010 Comprehensive Plan. The property to the east is single family dwelling on 6 acres, also zoned R-1 and designated for Low to Medium Density Residential uses. The property to the west is developed with a church and single family dwellings, and is zoned R-1. The proposed plat consists of 11.74 acres to be subdivided into 28 lots for single family dwellings, for a total density of about 2.5 units per acre. This density is well below the maximum permitted density of 3.5 units per acre. The minimum lot size in the R-1 district is 12,000 square feet, with 86' of frontage at the front building line. All of the proposed lots meet or exceed these requirements. For a more detailed explanation of the proposed development, see the attached narrative submitted by the developer. Streets/Access/Circulation: The proposed street which will be called Bluebird Trail is proposed to be a public street built to City standards with a 32 foot back-to-back bituminous surface with mountable concrete curb and gutter on a 55' wide right-of-way. This right-of-way should be adequate to meet City standards for a 32' wide back- to-back street with a 5' wide concrete walk along the east side. The proposed street system will connect to CSAH 42 by the construction of a temporary street on Lot 2 of Block 2. The proposed street connection to CSAH 42 has adequate site distance. I ' The street layout plan also shows the construction of a cul-de-sac in the southwest corner of the site. The final platting of the four lots on the north end of Hummingbird Court cul-de-sac will not be approved until a final plat is approved on the Twiss property that would extend streets and utilities to Hummingbird Court. MAPL2PC.OOC Page 2 Grading/Erosion Control: Storm SewerlWetlandsl Water Quality: MAPL2PC.DOC As shown on the attached Exhibit, the County intends to upgrade CSAH 42 from a two lane rural road to a four lane divided highway with turn lanes along the north edge of this site. The upgrading of CSAH 42 is scheduled to begin in the fall of 1997. If the temporary street connection to CSAH 42 is still in- place when CSAH 42 is reconstructed, then the entrance will be restricted to a right-inlright-out only access. The County will not allow any permanent street entrances onto CSAH 42 from this property. The upgrading of CSAH 42 will provide full access intersections at Pike Lake Trail and Rolling Oaks Circle. The developer will be required to dedicate 75' of half right-of-way for CSAH 42 at the time of the final plat. The preliminary grading plan attempts to match the existing topography to preserve as many trees as possible. Approximately 6.5 acres of the 11 acre site will be disturbed to grade the street and house pad areas. The 4.5 acres that will not be disturbed will be in the backyards. The Developer also intends to custom grade some of the lots to help preserve trees. A maximum of 14' of cut and 8' of fill are required to grade the site. No grading will be allowed on the adjacent properties unless written permission is obtained. The development will be required to comply with the City's erosion control standards. Storm water runoff will be directed to a 0.3 acre water quality treatment pond located in the northwest comer of the site. The pond shall provide 0.9 acre feet of wet storage volume to meet the NURP standards of the direct drainage from this development. The City will require that the pond be excavated to a depth of 4 feet below the NWL to allow the pond to trap the sediments that drain into the pond. The outlet for the pond which drains to Pike Lake shall be designed to limit the storm water discharge from this site to one-half the pre-development rate. The City's Storm Water Comprehensive Plan requires the reduction for new developments in the Pike Lake Drainage District. There are no wetlands on this site. Page 3 Sanitary Sewer: Sanitary sewer service is not readily available to this site. A 1 A" sanitary sewer line will need to be extended along the south side of CSAH 42 from Pike Lake Trail to the east a distance of 700 feet to serve this site. The 1 A" sanitary sewer line extension is designed to be included with the upgrading of CSAH 42 (City Project 95-09) which is scheduled to begin in the fall of 1997. The 1 A" sewer line would be constructed in 1998, SO' south of the centerline of CSAH 42. Approximately 10 to 12 feet of excavated material is shown to be removed from the area where the sewer line is to be constructed. If the Developer requests that the 1 A" sanitary sewer extension on CSAH 42 be completed before the County is ready to include the work in their project, then the Developer could extend the 10" line along CSAH 42 with this development's other utility construction. Any additional costs incurred by the City to construct the 1 A" sanitary sewer line before the County upgrades CSAH 42, would be the Developer's responsibility. The extra costs would include easements along the Holy Cross Lutheran Church property, extra excavation along the sewer line extension, tree removal, and restoration. As shown on the preliminary utility plan, the Developer intends to construct an 8" sanitary sewer line through the site from the 1 A" line in CSAH 42 to the south edge of the plat. The 8" sewer line will also serve the undeveloped property to the south. Watermain: A City maintained water system is not readily available to serve this site. The City intends to construct a 1S" trunk watermain along the south side of CSAH 42 from Femdale Avenue to Pike Lake Trail with the upgrading of CSAH 42, City Project 95-09. However, this watermain is not expected to be ready for service until 1998. Approximately 1/2 mile to the south of this site is an 8" watermain in Carriage Hills Parkway. The development of the next phase of Knob Hill is intended to extend the 8" watermain system up to the south property line of the Twiss property. When the Twiss property develops, then the 8" watermain would be extended to the south property line of this site. MAPl2PC.OOC Page 4 As shown on the preliminary utility plan, the Developer will be responsible for constructing an 8" watermain through the site to serve the proposed houses. The final plat for this development should not be approved until a public water line of sufficient size, pressure and capacity is extended to the site. Easements: The Developer will be required to dedicate drainage and utility easements over the wetlands, storm water ponds, and over all sewer and water lines constructed outside of the dedicated right-of-way. Along the west edge of Lot 2 of Block 2, the final plat shall dedicate a 30' wide. drainage and utility easement over the proposed 8" sanitary sewer line and 8" watermain which are shown to be constructed along this lot line. Tree Preservation: This development is subject to the provisions of Section 6.16 (Tree Preservation) of the Zoning Ordinance. As mentioned earlier, this site is largely wooded. The applicant has provided an inventory as required by this ordinance, but will be required to provide a preservation plan which shows which significant trees are to be removed and which are to remain, as well as the size, type and location of any replacement trees which might be required. This inventory identified 441 significant trees, as defined by the ordinance. The developer has estimated that 225, or 51 %, of the trees will be removed by initial site development and the placement of building pads, driveways and so on. The ordinance allows up to 50% of the significant trees to be removed, without replacement or restitution, as a result of initial site development and home placement. Therefore, the developer will be required to replace the 1% (44 trees) by which he exceeds the provisions of the ordinance. A tree replacement plan must be prepared according to the provisions of Section 6.16 of the Zoning Ordinance. Landscaping: This development is also subject to the requirement~ of Chapter 7 of the Subdivision Ordinance, which required one (1) street tree per lot frontage and one (1) front yard tree per lot. The applicant has submitted a "typical lot" plan showing the proposed location of the required trees, as well as the minimum size and types. It must be noted that this requirement is over and above the required MAPL2PC.DOC Page 5 Parkland Dedication: Finance/Assessment Fee Review: MAPL2PC.DOC replacement trees. The Developer shall comply with the park dedication and contribution requirements as defined in the City Code. The park dedication for the plat shall be fulfilled through the following: A. Due to the size of the plat and proximity of other parks to this property the park dedication will be cash in lieu of land. The cash dedication is based on the raw land value of $13,000.00 per acre. With a 10% park dedication the total cash dedication for this parcel is: 11.74 acres (Gross Area) x $13,OOO.OO/acre x 0.10 = $15,262.00 The park dedication fee shall be payable prior to the release of the fmal plat. B. In addition a 5' wide concrete sidewalk shall be constructed along the entire length of Bluebird Trail on the same side of the street as lots 1 - 9 as identified in the preliminary plat. A temporary 8' wide bituminous trail shall be constructed parallel and adjacent to the temporary access to County Road 42. The developer will be responsible for the costs associated with construction of the aforementioned sidewalks and trails. C. Outlot A which is located adjacent to lot 1 shall be graded to accommodate a future 8' wide bituminous trail. This grading shall be coordinated with the future Knob Hill development, as one half of the width of this trail is located on both properties. The City will be responsible for the construction of this trail at a later date. At the time municipal utilities are available, this subdivision will be subject to a stormwater management fee, a collector street fee, a trunk sewer and water fee, and a lateral sewer and water fee. A summary of the charges is shown on the attachedimemo from Ralph Teschner. Page 6 ISSUES: There are two main issues with this development. First of all, municipal services are not immediately available to the site. Development of the site depends on the extension of services in CR 42, which is scheduled for 1998. For this reason, the applicant has requested a two (2) year approval period for the preliminary plat. The Subdivision Ordinance requires that a developer submit a final plat within one (1) year of the preliminary plat approval by the Council The Ordinance allows the Council to extend this period ufor good cause for up to but not exceeding 12 months", upon written application by the developer. The question is whether or not a preliminary plat should be approved for an area without these services. The fact that the extension of services is scheduled in the Capital Improvements Program for the relatively near future does provide some assurance that these services will be available. In the event that the project is delayed, the preliminary plat, even with an extension, will expire. The applicant will also have the option of extending the services, with the understanding that any additional, cost to the City would be his responsibility. The other issue concerning this development is its effect on the development of the property to the south. The cul-de-sac in the southwest comer of this preliminary plat is accessible only from the property to the south. Additionally, Bluebird Trail is an extension of the road from the south. The applicant is working with the owners of the property to the south, Gold Nugget Development, on the location and grades of the cul- de-sac and the extension of Bluebird Trail. Development of these streets will require this continued cooperation. These two issues, as well as other engineering and ordinance requirements, can be addressed by placing the following conditions on the approval of this preliminary plat: 1. The final plat for this development shall not be approved until a public water line is extended to this site. 2. The Developer will be required to dedicate a temporary street easement over Lot 2 of Block 2 to allow for the construction of the temporary street connection to CSAH 42 across Lot 2. The temporary street easement cannot expire until Bluebird Trail is extended to the east to Rolling Oaks Circle. 3. The final platting of the four lots on the north end of Hummingbird Court cul- de-sac will not be approved until a final plat is approved on the Swiss property that would extend streets and utilities to Hummingbird Court. 4. The Developer will not be allowed to grade on the adjacent properties un/flSS written permission is obtained. 5. The development will be required to provide 0.9 acre feet of wet storage volume to meet the NURP standards and the pond shall provide at least four feet of depth below the NWL. MAP12PC.DOC Page 7 6. The storm water runoff from this development shall be ponded to limit the discharge to one half the pre-development rate. 7. The additional costs that the City might incur for extending the 10" sanitary sewer line along CSAH 42 prior to the County upgrading project would be the Developer's expense if the line needs to be installed prematurely. 8. A tree preservation and replacement plan must be submitted and approved prior to final plat approval. 9. Storm water management, collector street, trunk sewer and water and lateral sewer and water fees will be determined and collected in the context of the developer's agreement. 10. The Developer will be required to dedicate 75' of half right-of-way for CSAH 42 at the time of final plat, to accommodate the future upgrading of this street to a four lane highway with a trail along the south side. 11. The Developer will be required to dedicate drainage and utility easements over the wetlands, storm water ponds, and over all sewer and water lines constructed outside of the dedicated right-of-way. Along the west edge of Lot 2 of Block 2, the final plat shall dedicate a 3D' wide drainage and utility easement over the proposed 8" sanitary sewer line and 8" watermain which are shown to be constructed along this lot line. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Adopt Resolution 96-28PC recommending approval of the preliminary plat of Maple Hills Second Addition as presented and subject to conditions contained in Resolution 96-28PC, or with specific changes directed by the Planning Commission. 2. Table or continue the public hearing to a date and time certain and provide the developer with a detailed list of items or information to be provided for future Planning Commission review. 3. Recommend denial of the application based upon specific findings of fact. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Alternative #1 ACTION REQUIRED: A motion to adopt Resolution 96-28PC recommending approval of the preliminary plat of Maple Hills Second Addition, subject to the listed conditions.

If approved, then Maple Hill Partnership would also request that the preliminary plat approval be for two years instead of the standard one year. Project Location The 11.74 acre proposed development of Maple Hill 2nd Addition is located in the northeast quarter of Section 26, Township 115, Range 22, to the north of the existing Knob Hill single family development, south of Co. Rd. 42 and east of the Holy Cross Lutheran Church on Pike Lake Road. The location map and legal description is shown on the Preliminary PlatJUtility PlanIPlanting Plan. Maole Hill partnershiv Maple Hill Partnership consists of four individuals. They are Peter J. Knaeble, Brian W. Olson, Jim Allen and David G. Brown. The contact person for Maple Hill 2nd Addition shall be Peter J. Knaeble, 6001 Glenwood Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55422. The phone number is 593-9325. ExistiJU!' Land Owner The property is currently owned and homesteaded by Sharon Peterson. Maple Hill Partnership has a signed purchase agreement to buy the property. The property address is 4663 140th Street, Prior Lake, MN 55372. Sharon Peterson is planning to purchase another property elsewhere. ExistiJU!' Conditions Prior to the design of the preliminary plat of Maple Hill 2nd Addition a number of existing conditions were analyzed relating to the site. These existing conditions were: Land Use Plan and Zonine: The City's land use plan shows the site to be residential. No change to the land use plan will be needed. The site is presently zoned for R-1 Suburban Residential. No change to the zoning will be needed. Su.IToundinll Land Use North The existing land use to the north of Co. Rd. 42 is undeveloped, A-1 Agriculturally zoned land. Maple Hill 2nd Addition is compatible with this surrounding land use. South The undeveloped land to the south is owned by Gold Nugget Development, the developer of Knob Hill. Gold Nugget Development is proposing to develop this R-1 Suburban Residential zoned land in 1997. Maple Hill 2nd Addition is compatible with this surrounding land use. East The existing land use to the east is undeveloped, R-1 Suburban Residential zoned land that is owned by Robert and Lorene Garling who homestead the property. Maple Hill Partnership tried to purchase the property but the Robert Garling was not interested in selling. Maple Hill 2nd Addition is compatible with this surrounding land use. - m_ ___ _.._______ ...- -- - ..- - -- August 6, 1996 Page 3 West TIle nine lot exiting R-1 Suburban Residential zoned development of Maple Hill is located to the southwest. Also to the west is the existing Holy Cross Lutheran Church located on Pike Lake Road. Maple Hill 2nd Addition is compatible with both of these surrounding land uses. Proiect Boundarv TIle boundary of the site is very irregular in shape which had a slight constraint upon the design options of the proposed Maple Hill 2nd Addition development. Wetlands No wetlands are located on the property. TIle lowest portions of the site are located along the north property line adjacent to Co. Rd. 42 and are included within the reconstruction plans of Co. Rd. 42 by the Scott County Engineer. Dan Jobe, County Project Engineer, has determined that there are no wetlands adjacent to Co. Rd. 42 on this property. Topoeraphv TIle topography of the property is undulating to hilly, and the slopes are mostly irregular. Elevations range from a low of 871 at the northwest corner of the property to a high of 935 at the southeast corner of the property creating a difference of 64 feet. Soils One soil series, Hayden Series, has been identified in the Scott County Soil Survey within the property boundary of Maple Hill 2nd Addition. TIle Hayden series are light colored, well drained soils formed under a mixed hardwood forest from limey clay loam glacial till. TIley occupy about one-third of the uplands of Scott County. TIlese soils are suitable for home building and road construction. Existin2 Trees TIle site is mostly wooded with areas of scattered openings. TIle trees have been inventoried and identified on the Existing Conditions Plan as part of the preliminary plat drawings. TIlis inventory was completed in compliance with the city's tree preservation ordinance which requires all significant deciduous trees measuring 6 inches in diameter and all significant coniferous trees measured 12 feet above ground be inventoried. This inventory does not show the smaller significant trees that will be proposed to be transplanted elsewhere on site. County Road 42 TIle boundary survey on Maple Hill 2nd Addition shows that the county presently has a 33 foot easement for right-of-way for Co. Rd. 42. TIle north property line is the center line of Co. Rd. 42. Scott County is requiring that the right-of-way be 75 feet. This 75 foot right-of-way shall be dedicated with the final plat of the property. Co. Rd. 42 is scheduled to be upgraded to a four lane road adjacent to this site. Construction will commence in 1997 and end in 1998. Construction activities will consist of road construction, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water main and a bituminous pathway along the south side. Easements have not yet been acquired from the existing land owner of the property by the county. TIle required right-of-way and easements are planned to be dedicated to the county by Maple Hill Partnership after the plat of Maple Hill 2nd Addition has been approved by the city at no cost to the county. August 6, 1996 Page 4 Utilities The property is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and city utilities will be available with the reconstruction of Co. Rd. 42 and also with the development of the Knob Hill land adjacent to the south. Storm sewer and storm water ponding will have to be designed and constructed for Maple Hill 2nd Addition to handle the storm sewer runoff. Existina DwellinlZ The existing Peterson dwelling is located towards the center of the property. Maple Hill Partnership is proposing to save the dwelling by platting the property with the dwelling to be on one of the proposed lots. The dwelling presently utilizes a water well and septic system. The well shall be sealed and the septic system will be abandoned during the construction of the proposed development. The dwelling shall be connected to city utilities upon the completion of the construction activities. Project DesilO1 The existing conditions of the site limit the design flexibility that other typical sites have. The site also has a uniqueness about it for the people who would eventually live there. Maple Hill Partnership's goal is to design a neighborhood of single family homes that would neatly fit into the natural amenities and have as little impact on the site as reasonably feasible. Maple Hill Partnership believes that the proposed development plans of Maple Hill 2nd Addition accomplishes this goal. Project PhasinlZ and Time Schedule It is the goal of Maple Hill Partnership to construct Maple Hill 2nd Addition in one phase starting in the spring of 1997 and ending in the fall of 1997. If Gold Nugget Development does not develop the adjacent land to the south, then Maple Hill Partnership shall construct Maple Hill 2nd Addition in one phase starting in the spring of 1998 and ending in the fall of 1998. Preliminary Plat The preliminary plat shows a total of 28 proposed lots on 11.05 acres (excluding Co. Rd. 42 ROW) with a density is 2.58 lots per acre. Lot sizes range from 28,810 sq. ft. to 12,010 sq. ft. with an average lot size of 14,840 sq. ft. The existing dwelling is shown to be on lot 8, block 1. No variances are proposed to any of the minimum required R-l residential zoning standards concerning lot areas, lot widths, building setbacks, easements or maximum allowable gross density. Out lot A consists of 2,210 sq. ft., 0.46% of the total land area (excluding Co. Rd. 42 ROW) shall to be deeded to the City as park dedication for a proposed trail greenway. The width of this greenway within the plat of Maple Hill 2nd Addition is 15 feet. An additional 15 feet (both of which combined equal 80 feet) shall be dedicated to the city for park dedication as part of the future phase of the Knob Hill development. This 80 foot wide trail greenway will continue to the north to Co. Rd. 42 when the Garling property is developed. The payment of the trail in Maple Hill 2nd Addition shall be the responsibility of the city and shall be built after the Garling property is developed. The City Park Director has reviewed and approved the size and location of this proposed trail greenway. The rights-of-way for the proposed street and cul-de-sac comply with city standards and are as proposed by the City Engineer. Bluebird Trail is shown to have a right-of-way of 55 feet to accommodate a five foot concrete sidewalk within the right-of-way on one side of the street. Bluebird Trail is also shown to end at the northeast corner of the site at the Garling property. August 6, 1996 Page 5 When the Garling property is developed, Bluebird Trail would then continue through the Garling property and then connect to the existing Rolling Oaks Circle, which would then provide permanent access to Co. Rd. 42. Lot 2, block 2 is shown to have a paved temporary right in and right out vehicular access from Co. Rd. 42 to Bluebird Trail going through the lot. This temporary right in and right out has been reviewed and approved by the Scott County Engineer's office. Home building on this lot shall not take place until the temporary access has been abandoned. Maple Hill Partnership plans to abandon the temporary access upon the completion of home building activities on the rest of the lots and also upon the completion of the connection of Bluebird Trail through the Knob Hill development. The location of Bluebird Trail and Hummingbird Court has been coordinated with Gold Nugget Development, the developer of the Knob Hill development. Maple Hill Partnership and Gold Nugget Development have a signed agreement concerning the location and construction of Hummingbird Court. Preliminary Utilitv Plan The proposed sanitary sewer and water main sizes and locations are shown on the Preliminary PlatlUtility Plan/Planting Plan. If the Knob Hill development develops their phase adjacent to Maple Hill 2nd Addition to the south in 1997, which they are planning to do, then the water main will come from this new Knob Hill phase and the sanitary sewer will be constructed along Co. Rd. 42 through Maple Hill 2nd Addition to the Knob Hill phase in 1997. If the developer of Knob Hill decides to develop their phase next to Maple Hill 2nd Addition in 1998, then the development of Maple Hill 2nd Addition would take place in the spring of 1998, with the sanitary sewer and water main entering Maple Hill 2nd Addition from Co. Rd. 42. For this reason Maple Hill Partnership is requesting that the preliminary approval be two years instead of the standard one year. The Co. Rd. 42 improvement project which includes sanitary sewer and water main will start in 1997 and end in 1998 with or without any additional phases being developed by the developer of Knob Hill or the development of Maple Hill 2nd Addition. Storm sewer sizes and locations are shown on the Preliminary Grading and Drainage Plan. Drainage and utility easements for the sanitary sewer, water main and storm sewer are shown on the Preliminary PlatlUtility Plan/Planting Plan. The design and installation of the public improvements will be by Maple Hill Partnership and not petitioned to the city to design and install the public improvements. Other utilities include: electricity provided by Shakopee Public Utilities; natural gas provided by Minnegasco; telephone provided by Scott Rice Telephone; and cable TV provided by Midwest Cable. The installation and underground location of these utilities in Maple Hill 2nd Addition shall comply with the standards of the city and the utility companies. Preliminary GradinlZ and DrainalZe Plan The Preliminary Grading and Drainage Plan shows how the grading of the property will appear after the initial development grading and home building grading. The Final Grading and Drainage Plan will show only the extent of the grading activities upon the completion of the initial site grading of the development and not through the home building grading because of the significant trees on the property. The reason for this is to allow the home builder flexibility in the placement of the dwelling on the lot so as to save as many of the significant trees on the lot as possible. The lot survey for building permit will show the significant trees on it for review by the city. August 6, 1996 Page 6 The storm water pond, drainage calculations and erosion control measures are shown on the Prelimin~ry Grading and Drainage Plan. All disturbed areas will be seeded and disc mulched upon the completion of site grading and utility construction. There will be no temporary soil and dirt stockpiles after the development construction activities. Tree Replacement During initial site development, up to 25% of the total number of significant trees may be removed by the developer without providing replacement trees as per city ordinance. The ordinance also allows up to 25% of the significant trees to be remove on individual lots by the home builder after the initial site development activities by the developer. The developer's engineer has calculated, through the combined activities by both the developer and the home builders in the development of Maple Hill 2nd Addition, that 225 (51%) of the total of 441 significant inventoried trees would be removed. 1% of the significant trees will have to be replaced as per the tree preservation ordinance. Final calculations shall be completed once the Final Grading and Drainage Plan is completed. Proposed Landscapinll The Preliminary Plat/Utility Plan/Planting Plan show a typical lot with two deciduous trees to be planted, 2 and 1/2 inch caliper in size measured at the base of the tree. The trees shall be planted before a certificate of occupancy is to be issued for the dwelling on the lot. Maple Hill Partnership plans to use many of the existing trees, types of which are as show on the Existing Conditions Plan, on the property (old nursery stock) for the planting requirements of two trees per lot and also plans to transplant some of these existing trees on site along Co. Rd. 42 for screening purposes and for any tree replacement requirements as per the tree preservation ordinance. If Maple Hill Partnership and/or home builders decide not to use the existing trees on the site then the type of new trees to be planted will be sugar maple, hackberry, Marshall's seedless ash, summit ash, greenspire linden, pin oak and/or river birch. Proposed Housinll Styles Maple Hill Partnership proposes to develop the property and sell lots to home builders. The housing styles shall comply to the Grading and Drainage Plan and be similar to the style and price of the existing housing that is already built in the neighboring Knob Hill development. Maple Hill Partnership shall be reviewing for approval all lot surveys and architectural plans for the house construction. Proposed Development Amenities As mentioned above there will be landscaping in the proposed development of Maple Hill 2nd Addition. At this time it is planned to have custom mail boxes, all of which would be designed the same for the development, and the location shall be determined by the postmaster. No permanent entrance monuments and associated landscaping would be installed because there would be no permanent vehicular access to Maple Hill 2nd Addition from any collector roads. Permanent access is through the surrounding land when it develops. Sidewalks and trails are also proposed as stated above. Proposed Covenants Maple Hill Partnership shall submit restrictive covenants to the city for review at the time of final plat submittal. There will be no home owners association as part of this proposed development. August 6, 1996 Page 7 Site Data Total land area Co. Rd. 42 ROW area Total land area excluding Co.

The property currently is NOT served with municipal sewer and water utilities. At the time municipal utilities become available the subdivision will be subject to the following City charges: Storm water Management Fee Collector Street Fee Trunk Sewer & Water Fee Lateral Sewer & Water Charge 16.8 centslsq.ft. $1500.00/acre $3500.00/acre 150' @ $60.00/ff The application of these City charges would generate the following costs to the developer based upon a net lot area calculation of 9.54 acres of single family lots (415,630 sq. ft.) as provided within the site data summary sheet of the preliminary plat description: Lateral Sewer & Water Cha-:ae: 150' @ $60.00/ff= $9,000.00: Trunk Sewer & Water ChaJ:le: 9.54 acres @ $3500.00/ac = $33,390.00 Storm Water Management Fee: 415,630 sf@ 16.8/sf= $69,825.00 Collector Street Fee: 9.54 acres @ $1500.00/ac = $14,310.00 These charges represent an approximate cost $4500.00 per lot for the 28 proposed lots within Maple Hills 2nd Addition. Assuming the initial net lot area of the plat does not change, the above referenced storm water, collector street, trunk and lateral sewer and water charges would be determined and collected within the context of a developer's agreement for the construction of utility improvements at the time of final plat approval. There are no other outstanding special assessments currently certified against the property. Also, the tax status of the property is current with no outstanding delinquencies. 16200 ~ Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.

Chair Prior Lake Planning Commission Donald Rye, Director of Planning City of Prior Lake 96subd\preplat\maplehil\rs9628pc.doc Page 2 AGENDA ITEM: SUBJECT: CONSIDER IMPERVIOUS SURFACE VARIANCE FOR DAVID SMITH 2950 SPRING LAKE ROAD (CR 12) JANE KANSIER, PLANNING COORDINATOR DONALD R. RYE, PLANNING DIRECTOR _ YES -X. NO AUGUST 26,1996 SITE: PRESENTER: REVIEWED BY: PUBLIC HEARING: DATE: INTRODUCTION: On August 12, 1996, the Planning Commission tabled action on this variance application to obtain additional information from the staff. Specifically, the Commissioners wanted information on whether or not a gravel driveway was included in impervious surface. The definition of impervious surface in the Zoning Ordinance is as follows: "The portion of a buildable parcel which has a covering which does not permit water to percolate into the natural soil. Subject to the following exceptions, these structures and materials shall constitute impervious surface: Paved Driveways and Walkways of greater than three feet in width; Paved Patios,' Covered Decks and other Structures. The following structures and materials shall be exempt from the calculation of impervious sutface: Decks or Patios which are open to the sky and have open joints otat least 1/4 inch allowing the percolation of water; Paved walkways or other structures of three (3) feet in width or less. All such structures and materials shall be documented by a Certificate of Survey unless exempted from this requirements by the Zoning Administrator. " While a gravel driveway is not specifically listed, the constant use of this surface will cause the gravel to become packed down and will not allow the percolation of water. For this reason, the staff has always interpreted impervious surface to include gravel driveways. It must also be noted that if the Planning Commission chooses to exempt a gravel driveway in this case, a variance to the requirement that all driveways be paved will be necessary. The City Engineer has also reviewed the question of water quality and wetlands on this site, and offers the following comments: 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E.. Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 J Ph. (6f2) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER . The surface water drainage on the front yard area of the lot drains to a culvert and ditch system that conveys the water in an easterly direction to a culvert that crosses Spring Lake Road. The culvert conveys the water directly to Spring Lake. . The surface water drainage on the back half of the lot drains overland to a 20:t acre wetland. The 20 acre wetland drains overland across the adjacent vacant lot to the culvert that crosses Spring Lake Road. . There does not appear to be any easy locations in this area to construct water quality or rate reduction ponds. The vacant lot to the east of this site is a wooded lot that is for sale. . The 1994 daily traffic volume on Spring Lake Road west of Howard Lake Road was measured at 1350 trips per day. It is marginal if this is a high enough traffic volume to require the homeowner to construct a turnaround in the driveway. Along Spring Lake Road, some of the houses have turnarounds and others do not. This house is located on a fairly straight section of Spring Lake Road, so visibility is good. . The City requires new streets, parking lots and driveways to be constructed with bituminous or concrete surfaces. Gravel surfaces require more maintenance and the gravel can erode and contribute to degradation of the water quality of our ponds and lakes. At TERNA TIVES: 1. Approve the variance requested by the applicant, or approve any variances the Planning Commission deems appropriate in the circumstances. 2. Table or continue discussion of the item for specific purpose. 3. Deny the application because the Planning Commission finds a lack of demonstrated hardship under the Zoning Ordinance criteria. RECOMMENDATION: Because staff has concluded that the request does not meet the Ordinance criteria, staff recommends Alternative No.3, denial. If the Board of Adjustment finds that this request meets the applicable criteria, approval of this variance should be subject to the condition that the garage and driveway addition be drawn on the certificate of survey by a registered land surveyor, along with the dimensions and distances from the lot lines. 2 96071 pc2.doc ACTION REQUIRED: A motion adopting Resolution 96-27PC denying the applicant's request for variance. 96071 pc2.doc 3 ~ ~/ ~. \0... 0..: lC1 ~ . .\V~ ~A... ~~ ~ ~v ~ CER T1FICA TE ~o rJ \) "'^"'- '^"'"' -^"- 101. 70 ~ ~/8.

RYE, PLANNING DIRECTOR ~ _ YES ...x.- NO AUGUST 12, 1996 The Planning Department received a variance application from Mr. David Smith. Mr. Smith wishes to construct a new, attached garage as shown on the attached survey. The proposed garage, along with the driveway leading to the garage, requires a variance to permit an impervious surface of 34% instead of the maximum 30% allowed. DISCUSSION: The subject property is zoned R 1-Suburban Residential and is located in the SD- Shoreland District. The subject property was originally platted as a part of Butternut Beach, which was platted in 1926. The property is currently developed with a house with attached garage. The legal building envelope on the property which results from the applicable front and rear yard setbacks is about 8 feet deep. On June 10, 1996, the Board of Adjustment considered an application from Mr. Smith for several variances that would allow him to construct an attached garage. On June 24, 1996, the Board approved Resolution 9622PC, granting an 18' variance to permit a 67' setback from the centerline of Spring lake Road rather than the required 85 feet (see attached resolution). This variance essentially allowed Mr. Smith to build a 26' by 24' attached garage on the east side of the dwelling. Unfortunately, the original variance application did not include a request to increase the permitted amount of impervious surface. Also, the certificate of survey submitted did not include the area of the new garage and driveway in the impervious surface calculation. This omission was discovered when Mr. Smith made an application for a permit to construct the new garage. Therefore, Mr. 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake. Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Smith is requesting a variance of 4% to allow a total impervious surface coverage of 34 percent. VARIANCE HARDSHIP STANDARDS: 1. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in undue hardship with respect to the property. This criteria goes to whether reasonable use can be made of the property if the Ordinance is literally enforced. It also goes to whether the applicant has legal alternatives to accomplish to the requested variance. Arguably, Mr. Smith currently has reasonable use of the property with the existing house and garage. Moreover, Mr. Smith also has alternatives for the expansion of the garage which would not require a variance to the impervious surface. For example, a garage addition measuring 10' by 22' could be constructed along with the driveway area, which would not exceed the 30% impervious surface. 2. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique to the property. Because staff has concluded that reasonable use exists, there is no unnecessary hardship. 3. The hardship is caused by provisions of the Ordinance and is not the result of actions of persons presently having an interest in the property. Any hardship which exists results from the Mr. Smith's desire to have an oversized 3-car garage and not from the provisions of the City's Zoning Ordinance. 4. The variance observes the spirit and intent of this Ordinance, produces substantial justice and is not contrary to the public interest. The intent of the Ordinance is to insure reasonable use of property which conforms with at least the minimum standards set by the community in its Ordinance. In some measure this means that the level of development of any parcel of land is dependent on its particular characteristics, and that any parcel should not be overdeveloped. The proposed project does not meet this intent, in that it provides perhaps more development than should reasonable be accommodated on the subject site. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the variance requested by the applicant, or approve any variances the Planning Commission deems appropriate in the circumstances. 2 96071 pc.doc 2. Table or continue discussion of the item for specific purpose. 3. Deny the application because the Planning Commission finds a lack of demonstrated hardship under the Zoning Ordinance criteria. RECOMMENDATION: Because staff has concluded that the request does not meet the Ordinance criteria, staff recommends Alternative No.3, denial.
