ITEM III - Sl JMMJT CO]\j1S I KUCfION - VARIANCE
Rick Moradian of Summit Construction, 1609 West County Road 42, BlUnsville, stated he is requesting a
lot area variance for a non waterfront lot located in the Shoreland District in order to be buildable.
Gina Mitchell, Associate PlaImer, presented the infOlmation as per planning repon of Septemrer 1, 1994.
The subject site is approximately 82 feet wide and 120 feet deep, containing 9,722 square feet of lot area
ll1e subdivision was platted in 1923 in Spring Lake Township and annexed into the City of Prior Lake in
1973. In 1979, the minimum lot area in the R-l disnict was 10,000 square feet, however, a lot aI"ea variance
was not issued to the subject site as it was inadveltently missed by the City at the time of an adminisn-ative
land division in 1979.
ll1e 278 square foot minimlllnlot area vmiance request is reasonable because the propelty was subdivided
within the City of Prior Lake, assessments have been paid on the propelty, and the subject site is a "Lot of
Record". Denial of the lot aI"ea variance would render the lot non-buildable which would create aI1 undue
hardship with respect to the propelty. Staffs recoIT1ITendation is to approve the variance as requested

Dear Mayor & City Council Members:
I am requesting permission, per Article 4-7-4 of the City
Code, to construct a pole type building on land presently
zoned R-1 but being used for agriculture.
The building will be used for machinery and hay storage
from adjoining farmland and not intended to house animals.
This use is compatible with the surrounding area and not
offensive to any other property owners.
Sincerely,

STAFF AGENDA REPORT

BLAIR TREMERE, ACTING PLANNING DIRECTOR
CONSIDER REQUEST BY JEROME MILLER FOR PERMISSION TO
CONSTRUCT A POLE BUILDING IN A R-1 DISTRICT
SEPTEMBER 19, 1994
The applicant desires to relocate a 3,500 square foot metal pole building
from a site in the west portion of the City to Outlot A, Titus Second
Addition, which is north of Pike Lake.
The City Code, at Section 4-7-4, permits metal pole buildings in the A-1
and C-1 Districts and "only in any other district upon approval by the City
Council." The code provides that the Council shall exercise its discretion
in determining whether or not a building of this type would be compatible
with the surrounding area. The code further provides that, "such
structures may be authorized by the Council for use as warehouse, heavy
equipment storage, or other uses which would tend to be compatible with
that type of structure and in a location where it would not be offensive to
other property owners or persons within the City".
The applicant has indicated that the building would be used for machinery
and hay storage from adjoining farm land and is not intended to house
animals.
The Planning Commission at its September 1, 1994, approved a yard
setback variance and an area variance subject to the following: no
animals be housed on the property, the location will be visually
inconspicuous, the petitioner met the standards of hardship, and the use
of the property is agricultural.
The matter before the Council is whether to approve the pole building in
the R-1 District. The R-1 District, in this case, is not served by municipal
sewer and water. The R-1 zoning was established in the early 1970's
when rural platting was permitted by the Prior Lake Code. The character
of the area is a mix of active agriculture and single family dwellings.
Staff did consider the possibility of processing an application to rezone
the property to an A-1 or C-1 status: however, the history of the property
and the actual development of some of the land with single family homes
diminishes the value of that approach (although Staff will be examining
this area as the entire City is evaluated with respect to land use guide
plan classifications and zoning classifications.
The information presented by the applicant both in support of the
requested variances and as part of the request brought before the
4629 Dakota 51. 5.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 553?.f~1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
ALTERNATIVES:
RECOMMENDATION:
REVIEWED BY:
Council, shows that the use of the building would be consistent with the
agricultural use of the property. The Planning Commission considered
the matters of compatibility and visual impact, particularly with respect to
the variance for size since the maximum accessory building area in the
R-1 District is 832 square feet.
The applicant will be dismantling the building on a site west of County
Road 83 and north of County Road 82, and re-assembling it on his
property.
It is Staff's view that the City Code was written to address situations as
this; significantly the code is providing for permission to build a pole
building and is not requiring a variance. Thus given the actual site layout
and proposed location of the building (with the variances granted by the
Planning Commission), the matter of compatibility is addressed.
1 .
Approve the request for a 3,500 square foot metal pole building
on Outlot A, Titus Second Addition.
2. Approve metal building subject to modifications or conditions as
developed by the Council during discussion of the request.
3. Deny the request for specific reasons relative to the City Code
criteria of use, compatibility, and location.
Alternative 1. Staff finds that the review of the variances by the Planning
Commission covere(dJ~e issdes of compatibility and location.

CONSIDER SETBACK AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURE
AREA VARIANCE FOR JEROME MILLER.
BLAIR TREMERE, ACTING PLANNING DIRECTOR

SEPTEMBER 1, 1994
INTRODUCTION:
The Planning DepaItment has received a variance application for Jerome Miller of 15563 Calmut
Avenue, Prior Lake. The proposal is to locate a metal pole building on Outlot A, Titus Second
Addition as per attached maps. The specific variances requested are as follows:
1. A 70' nOlth and 90' south side yard variance from the 100' property setback requirement
for accessory faIm buildings. (City Code Section 5-5-2(A).
2. A 2,668 square foot aI'ea variance from the 832 square foot maximum area requirement
for accessory structures within the R -1, Suburban Residential District. (City Code,
Section 5-5-2(A)3).
* Please Note: The City Code states that pole buildings may be pelmitted in C-l, Conservation
and A-I, Agricultural Zoning Districts. The Code specifies that the City Council can approve
pole buildings in other districts provided the Council finds it will be compatible with the
surrounding area and not offensive to other property owners or persons within the City. Provided
the Planning Commission grants the variances for setback and building area, this application will
be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration regarding placing a pole building on the
R-l, Suburban Residential zoned site.
BACKGROUND:
The subject site is part of the subdivision of Titus Second Addition which was approved by the
City of Prior Lake in 1974. At that time, the City Subdivision and Zoning Codes pennitted rural
area subdivisions. Shortly after the plat was approved, the City Ordinances were amended to
prohibit rural subdivision of land. In 1977, the entire road within the plat was vacated, via
petition of the developer, with the exception of the west approximately 300 feet. Vacation of the
only street providing access to lots 1-10, Block 1 and lots 2-12, and Outlot A, Block 2, Titus
Second Addition, resulted in vacating the majority of the plat.
The applicant is the owner of pan of the vacated plat consisting of 15+/- acres legally described
as Lots 7-10, Block 1, Lots 8-12 and Outlot A, Block 2, Titus Second Addition. The property is
4629 Dakota S1. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
zoned R -1, Suburban Residential however, it is located in the rural service area and is therefore
not served by municipal sewer and water. The R -1, zone in this case, was designated in the
early 1970's when rural platting was permitted by Prior Lake Code. Due to the rural service area
status of the site, the total residential density is limited to the grant of dwelling unit permits to
Lots of record and the 4 dwelling unit per quarter/quarter section requirement of the City Code.
The applicant requested and received a variance to allow one dwelling unit to be located on the
15+/- acres, on December 3, 1992. The variance grant was subject to the applicant signing and
filing a legal document with Scott County stating that the variance would be valid for a 20 year
period from the date of variance approval and that no further dwelling unit permits would be
granted until such a time as municipal services were available to the site.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this application is to permit the construction of a metal pole building on Outlot A.
The area consists of rural residential lots developed with a mixture of single family homes,
hobby farms, a YMCA horseback riding camp and farmsteads. The property to the north is
developed with a single family home and small shed, the property to the south is developed with
a single family home located approximately 63' from the south property line and a large metal
pole building. A barn and farm outbuildings are located directly south of the subject site also.
The property to the east, owned by the applicant, (Lots 7-10, Block 1 and 8-12, Block 2), are
currently planted with beans.
The applicant intends to continue agricultural production on the property to the east of Outlot A
and seeks the variances in order to move a pole building onto the site to house farm related
equipment. The City Code expressly prohibits moving buildings, other than residential buildings
within or into the City limits. The applicant will have to assemble and/or construct the pole
building on site to conform with the Code.
Agriculture is considered to be a permitted use in the R -1 zone. The proposed building is
classified as an accessory farm building within the City Code. The building setbacks for the
Outlot are the standard 25' front and rear, and 10' side yard standards. However, the Code
specifies that "accessory farm buildings shall not be erected within 100' of a neighboring
property. In addition, within the R-1 Zone, the Code states that the maximum size of an
accessory structure shall not exceed 832 square feet. In order to construct the building as
proposed, setback and building area variances have been requested.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the 70' north and 90' south side yard variances to locate an accessory farm
building within 100' of a neighboring property; and 2,668 square foot accessory structure
building area variance as requested.
2. Approve a modification of the variances requested requmng the downsizing of the
structure and/or relocation of the proposed pole building on site.
3. Deny the variances finding that an alternate location exists on the remaining 15+/- acres
where a pole building can be located without setback variances.
RECOMMENDATION: Alternative I or 3, as per discussion of the Planning Commission.
Staff is not opposed to the grant of minimal setback variances for a pole building on Outlot A,
provided that a condition stating no animals may be housed within or about the pole building, be
placed on the variance. Likewise, staff would not object to an accessory structure building area
variance however, it is suggested that the building size be reduced in order to provide additional
separation between neighboring properties. The pole building should be located on the most
visually inconspicuous part of the lot and should be screened from adjacent residential properties
to the north and south.
Variance Hardship Standards:
1. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in undue hardship with respect
to the property.
The Outlot is a lot of record exceeding the minimum area and size requirements of the
Zoning District. However, no building envelope exists to construct an accessory farm
building on site (which is a use permitted in the Zoning District), due to the 100'
separation standard. The lot size and separation standards are the same in the current
Zoning Code as they were in 1973, prior to the platting of the subject site.
2. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique to the property.
The property was platted under the jurisdiction of the City of Prior Lake. The property
has an odd shape and contains a large drainage easement (30') versus the typical 10'
easement associated with other lots within the subdivision.
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.
The property was platted and Zoned R-l under the jurisdiction of the City of Prior Lake.
The current Zoning Standards of the R-l, Suburban Residential Zone are not appropriate
for properties not served by municipal services. The area is rural in character as opposed
to the higher density permitted in the same R-l Zone, within the Urban Service Area.
The hardship is the result of application of urban development standards to a property
located in the rural service area. The current R-l zoning classification of the Titus
Addition area is inconsistent with the Open Space land use designation of the Year 2000
Comprehensive Plan. This area will be reviewed for possible redesignation and rezoning
as part of the preparation of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan.
4. The variance observes the spirit and intent of this Ordinance, produces substantial
justice and is not contrary to the public interest.
The Outlot is a lot of record which exceeds lot area and width standards. As such the lot
is eligible for a building permit conforming to the use requirements of the R-l Zoning
District. There are several sheds, farm and pole buildings located in the immediate
vicinity of the subject site. A pole building would not be detrimental to the health,
welfare or safety of adjacent properties. Staff is of the opinion that reduction of the size
of the building and relocation to a site on the Outlot to increase the separation to
neighboring properties would observe the intent of the Ordinance.

HORST GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
YES X NO
DECEMBER 3, 1992
HISTORY/BACKGROUND:
On September 17, 1992 the City Council granted a variance to
William Henning to allow the construction of one additional
dwelling unit on his property. The variance requested was from
the four per quarter/quarter section requirement of the zoning
Ordinance for lands located within the rural service area. See
attached planning reports for reference to this item. The City
Council granted the density variance subject to findings of fact
dated August 17, 1992. The variance to allow one additional
structure on the subject site was approved subject to an executed
agreement restricting further issuance of building permits on the
site until urban services are installed. The agreement must be
filed with the Scott County Recorder's Office in order to effect
the variance approval.
City Attorney, Glenn Kessel drafted the attached agreement
setting forth the stipulations of the findings of fact. The
purpose of this applicatior. is to vary the one year time limit on
variance applications required by section 7.7 of the Prior Lake
zoning Ordinance. william Henning sold the property to Jerry
Miller after the initial variance hearing. Mr. Miller is
willing to sign and record the attached agreement limiting
further development on the property, sub~ect to an understanding
by the city that the variance will run w1th the land for a period
not to exceed twenty years. Staff supports the language provided
by Attorney Kessel, in item 3, page 2. However, because the
twenty year time frame was not specifically cited in the findings
of fact, Attorney Kessel, suggested that a separate variance be
filed to clarify the time limit issue.
Pending the decision of the Planning commission on this variance,
staff will contact Harold Bohlen to determine his interest in
obtaining a variance to incorporate a similar clause into the
findings of fact for a comparable variance granted for his
property, located south of Titus Addition.
RECOMMENDATION:
The recommendation from staff is to approve the time limit
extension to twenty years, as recommended by City Attorney, Glenn
Kessel.

NOTICE OF HEARING
FOR '
VARIANCE
You are hereby notified that a hearing will be held by the
planninq commission in the Prior Lake council Chambers at 4629
Dakota street S.E. on:
THURSDAY. DECEMBER 3. 1992
at
7:30
P.M.
PURPOSE OF HEARING: To consider a variance application for
Phyllis Miller, 15563 Calmut Avenue.
SUBJECT SITE LOCATION: Lots 6 - 10, Block 1, Titus 2nd Addition
& Lots 7 - 12, Block 2, Titus 2nd
Addition. See attached map.
REQUESTED ACTION: The applicant requests that the Planning
commission grant a variance to the one
year time limit placed on a previously
approved variance for william Henninq.
William Henning was granted a variance on
August 17( 1992 which will allow for the
construct10n of one new single family
home on the subject site( indicated upon
the attached map. A varlance, according
to Prior Lake City Code, expires after
one year if construction has not begun.
Mr. Henning sold the property to Phyllis
Miller who is the current applicant. It
is her intent to build a new single
family home at some point in the future.
However, it is likely that the home would
not be built by August of 1993.
Therefore, the applicant requests a time
limit extension on the variance
originally approved for Mr. Henning. The
proposed extension period would allow the
variance to be valid for a period not to
exceed 20 years.
If you desire to be heard in reference to this matter, you should
attend this meeting. oral and writt9n comments will be accepted
ny the city council. For more information, contact the Prior
Lake Planninq Department at 447-4230.

DEB GARROSS, ASSISTANT CITY PLANNER
CONSIDER PLANNING COMMISSION VARIANCE APPEAL
OF BILL AND KATHLEEN HENNING
AUGUST 3, 1992
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider
a variance appeal for Mr. William Henning of
13208 Henning Circle, Prior Lake. The
planning Commission considered the variance
request to allow the applicant to construct a
single family home on the subject site. The
specific variance requested is from city Code
section 5-4-1(N), which restricts ho~sing
density in the "Agricultural conservation
Districts located in the rural service areas
defined in the Prior Lake c...,...,.rehensive Plan,
to four (4) dwellings per eacn quarter/quarter
section." See attached Planning Report and
related materials for reference to the
specific application.
The planning Commission minutes dated July 16,
1992 are also attached. The Planning
commission tailed to reach a majority vote on
this issue, therefore the split decision
renders the application denied, due to lack of
a majority to pass the variance. The
applicant requested per letter dated July 22,
1992 that the decision of the Planning
commission be appealed to the city Council.
The City Council amended the Prior Lake
comprehensive Plan on December 16, 1991, to
add policies to the Transportation Chapter.
The purpose of those amendments was to bring
the city C,...,_,.t',rehensive plan into compliance
with the Metropolitan Council's, Bloomington
Ferry Bridge policies. The recent amendment
is pertinent to this application because the
City agreed to restrict rural area develo~ment
to four units per quarter/quarter section for
lands located east of C.S.A.H. 18. See
attached City Council minutes and policy '6.
Although the subiect site i. west of C.S.A.H.
18, the council has indicated by past action a
support for the quarter/quarter section
policy. See also, planning Considerations
section of Planning Department report dated
July 16, 1992.

AN EQUAL oPPORTUNITY EMPLOVER
DISCUSSION:
AL.L6I\NATIVES:
The two Planning Commission members who voted
for the variance application indicated that
they felt that the proposal would be
consistent with the development of Titus First
Addition and land development within the rural
service area of Shakopee. However, it should
be noted that Titus First Addition is no
longer a type of development that is permitted
by current zoning and .Ubdivision controls.
The rationale that density variances shouid be
granted adjacent to rural subdivisions could
create a precedent for other such properties.
For example, Howard Lake Estates, Maple Hill
and Eagle Ridge Acres are all rural
subdivisions. If it is the direction of the
Council to allow density greater than four
units per quarter/quarter section, an
amendment to the zoning code and comprehensive
plan should be made to allow that type of land
use devel~ _ent. A variance application
should not te used to establish policy, but to
grant relief for setback hardships,
identified by the ordinance.
variance applications must be considered in
terms of the hardship criteria outlined in the
zoning ordinance. The applicant can continue
to use the land as has been done in the past.
Rationale for granting a variance must reflect
the hardship criteria and cannot solely be
based on economic consideration. The Council
should note that the Planning commission has
denied two previous variances for DuWade
Harris of Howard Lake Estates for a similar
request. In addition, staff has met with Mr.
Harold Bohlen, owner of land south of Titus
First Addition, who seeks a similar proposal,
to increase the densitI of the rural service
area to allow resident al building sites to be
sold in an area that is currently at maximum
residential density. Mr. Bohlen will be in
attendance at the meeting to listen to the
discussion on the Henning application.
1. Uphold the decision of the Planning
Commission to deny the variance
application.
2. Table the issue for specific reasons.
3.
Approve the variance application by
finding that all of the hardship criteria
outlined by the zoning ordinance are met
through the application.

JULY 16, 1992
HISTORY/BACKGROUND:
The Planning Department has received a variance application from
Mr. William Henning of 13208 Henning Circle, Prior Lake. The
ap~lication requests a variance from Section 5-4-1(N) of the
Pr10r Lake City Code which restricts housing density in the
"Agricultural Cons~rvation Districts located in the rural service
areas defined in the Prior Lake Comprehensive Plan, to four (4)
dwellinqa ~.~r each quarter/quarter .ection." See attached
excerpt from the City Code for reference to this provision. The
proposal is to construct a single family home on the aubject site
that is outlined on the attached map. The site is currently
vacant and has been used for agricultural purposes.
PREVIOUS PROPOSALS:
The plat of Titus 2nd Addition has a long and complicated history
which began in 1974, when the plat was approved by the City of
priot. Lake and filed with Scott County. In April of 1977, the
City Council approved a petition from the applicant, for the
vacation of part of Foothill Trail that extended east of Lot 13,
Block 2, Titus 2nd Addition, to the east end of the plat. The
majority of the lots in the plat, have no access to a public
road, as a result of the 1977 vacation. In 1980, the Scott County
Assessor's Office was requested to tax the property adjacent to
the vacated street at an ayricu1tura1 rather than residential
rate. The property has been used for agricultural and open space
since that time.
In 1986, nine years after Foothill Trail had been vacated ( the
applicant requested that the City rededicate the portAon of
Foothill Trail that had been previously vacated and issue
building permits for Lots 1 - 10 Block 1 and 2 -12, Block 2,
Titus 2nd Addition. The City councIl denied the request for
rededication and subsequent building permits, based upon the fact
that the Zoning Ordinance and comprehensive Plan allow a maximum
density of 4 dwelling units per quarter/quarter section in the
rural service area, of which the subject site is a part. The City
Council resolved that "a portion of the plat of Titus 2nd

County, Minneo,sota. " Sec attached Resolution 87-48 for reference
to the Council action.
The matter was ultimately reviewed by the Court of Appeals,
which upheld the position of the city: "Henning was denied
buildinq permits because hi~ lots did not have acoess to public
roads and did not comply with the 1975 zoning amendmont to th$
zoning ortUnance. Thus, it was reasonable tor Prior lake tc deny
the building per.mit. requested by Henning." The Decision ot th.
Court in the matter was stated: "Upon rllview of the city
council's records and decision, we hold that Prior Lake had a
reasonable basis for requiring a new application under Minn.
Stat. 462.358, subd. 3c, and for declining to issue the building
permits." See attached document #C4-83-l704 for further
reference to this matter.
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The sUbject slte 1S located in the NW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of
section 23. The quarter/quarter section contains part of the
plats of Titus 1st and ~nd Additions. Each plat was subdivided
at a time when the zoning Ordinanc~ allowed small lot platting in
'the agricultural areas. However, the Zoning Ordinance and
comprehensive Plan were amended to the current 4 units per
quarter/quarter section density formula. Each lot of record is
subject to a building perait. Due to the grandfather status of
Lots 11 - 12, Block 1 and Lots 1, 13 - 14 Block 2, Titus 2nd
Addition and all of the lots in Titus 1st Addition, the density
in the NW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of section 23 will be 11 units. The
applicant requests that the density be increased from 11 to 1~
units, in th~s quarter/quarter section, which would allow the
construction ot one home upon the subject site.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:
There have been two previous applications to increase density
within the Rural Service Area, both of which have been denied.
The Planning Commission determined in 1987, that DuWade Harie of
15220 Howard Lake Road, failed to demonstrate that hardship
existed to grant a variunce to increase density and that the
request ~as inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. A si~ilar
finding was made for a separate property owned by Mr. Harris in
1980. The two previous applications demonstrate a clear
precedence for denial of applications that seek to increase
residential density within the rural service arqa.
The City Council advocateJ in their 1992 Retreat the idea to
furt~er limit development of the rural area and instructed staff
to include the provision to allow only 1 unit per
quarter/quarter section, within the next comprehensive Plan
Draft. Staff has incorporated the language into the proposed 2010
Comprehensive Plan, howQver, there has been no formal review of

the Plan by the Planning Commission nor City Council as of the
date of this appl', -:::ation. The recent Council discussions,
explicit pOlicies and requirements of the current Comprehensive
Plan and Zoning Ordinance, past precedent and Planning commission
findings related to the DuWade Haris proposals to increase
density in the Rural Service Area, coupled wIth the the findings
of Resolution 87-48 and the Appeals Court are the basis for the
staff recommendation to deny the application to increase the
density of the NW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 23.
RECOMMENDATION:
~ne recommenaation from ataff ia to dany the variance application
on the baaia that the request is inconsistent with the zoning
Ordinance and comprehensive Plan. Li~eral enforcement of the
Ordinance would not result in undue hardship. The property can
continue to be used for the agricultural purposes that havo
occurred on the property in the past. The hardship in this case
is not caused by the Ordinance nor the City of Prior Lake but is
a direct result of actions proposed by the applicant.
The variance would not observe the spirit and intent of the
Ordinance and is in fact, in direct conflict with the objectives
of the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. Approval of this
variance could potentially establish a precedent which would
undermine the intent of the Rural Service Area policies. Rural
axea development objectives seek to protect existing agricultural
investments until su~h a time as public utilities may be ex~ended
and there is a need for additional urban development. The City
currently has hundreds of acres of R-1 Zoned Land within the MUSA
boundary which are available for urban development. The subject
site is located outside of the Year 2000 Urban Service Area and
as such, the residential density should be restricted until such
a time as municipal utilities are extended to the site, in a
planned manner, consistent with Objectives of the City of Prior
Lake and Metropolitan Council.
