Council member Kuettel said that Coffman and Folwell to Hoyt encroach onto their property. She also stated the original design of the home did include the second-story door, which allowed the Planning Commission to assume the deck was part of the original design.

Falcon Heights has never levied for the general obligation debt, and staff is once again recommending that the Council pass a resolution eliminating the 2007 debt levy on general obligation debt.

The preliminary levy amount then become a maximum tax levy that the city can collect, meaning that the amount may go down when the budget is officially approved, but it cannot increase. For the past few months, staff and the city council have been working on the 2007 City of Falcon Heights budgets. Many changes have been made, but staff is confident that the budget presented tonight will continue to provide high-quality city services while being cognizant of the impact to taxpayers. The proposed 2007 budget includes a tax levy of $895,700, which reflects a $30,692 (3.5%) increase over the 2006 budget. Of this increase, $29,079 is attributable to an increase in the police contract with St. Anthony Police Department. We have moved expenditures that are enterprise fund related to the appropriate funds, and have transferred forestry program expenditures that relate to capital assets to the capital improvements budget. By doing all this, the amount of transfer from the infrastructure fund to the general fund is reduced. This will allow the infrastructure fund to remain more viable for future projects. The council also needs to set the dates for the required truth-in-taxation hearings. The dates reserved for cities are December 4th and December 11th (only if the first meeting needs to be continued). The hearings will be held at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council chambers and are open to the public for comment on the proposed budget.

On July 12, 2006, the City Council received a final report on the study and voted to support changes in the Falcon Heights City Code that would limit drive-through services to banks and financial institutions in B-2 zones as a conditional accessory use with additional zoning restrictions. Based on the Council’s recommendation, a draft ordinance was considered by the Planning Commission on August 22, following the required public hearing. The ordinance makes the following changes to the City Code: • Addition of a definition of “drive-through” and deletion of the definition for “drive-in” (9-1.01 subd. 2) • Special requirements for drive-through facilities where they are allowed (9-13.08) • Change to wording of drive-through as a conditional use in B-2 (9-9.01 subd. 3a) • Deletion of drive-through as a conditional use for financial institutions in B-3 (9-10.01 subd. 3b) The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the ordinance, with the following requests and recommendations: • Eliminate the restriction to banks and financial institutions (i.e. other permitted B2 businesses would be eligible) • Require visual screening between drive-throughs and residential property, in addition to the distance requirement • Increase the minimum lot size to 35,000 square feet • Provide some clarification in part b. of Section 2. Is it the Council’s intent that the drive- through entrance and exit be 75 feet from the intersection or the full length of the drive lane? If the requirement is for entry/exit only, the language should be more specific. ATTACHMENTS: 1. An Ordinance Amending the Falcon Heights City Code Concerning Drive-through Facilities, with changes recommended by the Planning Commission 2. Excerpts of existing code affected by proposed ordinance (not showing additional changes recommended by the Planning Commission) 3. Letter sent September 6 to owners of business properties in Falcon Heights. Mailed notice is not required for code amendment; this was sent as a courtesy. A similar letter sent in August to inform property owners of the public hearing is included in the August Planning Commission packet, already distributed to the Council. ACTION REQUESTED: The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance amending the Falcon Heights City Code Concerning Drive-through Facilities.

G e h r z , M a y o r ATTEST: ___________________________________ Justin Miller, City Administrator/Clerk September 5, 2006 Dear Property Owner: We would like to keep you informed of the status of the City's proposed code amendment ordinance regarding drive-through businesses. On August 22, the Planning Commission held the statutory public hearing on the ordinance proposed by the City Council July 12. Please see our website for the full text of the ordinance. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the ordinance, with a few changes: 1. Remove the restriction to banks and financial institutions, making all B2 zone businesses eligible for a drive-through (with certain requirements). 2. Increase the minimum lot size needed from 30,000 square feet to 35,000 square feet. 3. Add a provision that drive-through facilities be visually screened from adjoining residential property. The City Council will take final action on the drive-through ordinance at its regular meeting on Wednesday, September 13, 2006, at 7:00 p.m. The meeting is open to the public. If you have any questions or comments on the issue, please call or write to me at City Hall or send an email to the address below. Sincerely, Justin Miller City Administrator 651/792-7611 justin.miller@ci.falcon-heights.mn.us POLICY H3 9/13/06 ITEM: Review of Draft of Falcon Heights City Code Recodification (Part IV) SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator Deborah Jones, Planning and Zoning Coordinator Summary: Attached to this report is the zoning chapter, Chapter 113 of the draft City Code recodification for the City Council’s review. On August 22 the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the chapter, provided the questions and concerns of the Commission are addressed before the final version of the Code is approved. The required public hearing was held on July 25, 2006. As you go through the chapter, please take time to review the list of items noted by the Planning Commission and Staff, listed in the second attachment. The non-policy items on that list are already included in the list of questions and changes that will be forwarded to Municipal Code and our City Attorney. The procedure will be similar to the first three parts of the Council’s review of the draft. This section is the longest, but we hope that the work already done by the Planning Commission will give the Council a significant head start on the review. ATTACHMENTS • Recodification Draft, Chapter 113 • Planning Commission and Staff notes on Chapter 113 • Expanded table of contents for Chapter 113 ACTION REQUESTED No action is requested; this is for discussion purposes only. Planning Commission and Staff notes on Chapter 113 1. Definitions: Add “drive-through” at this stage? 2. Definitions, p. 167: It should be made clear whether or not animals normally considered farm animals, such as chickens or pigs, can be kept as pets in the City. 3. Definitions, p. 171: Any refinement needed in definition of Eating Establishments? 4. Definitions, p. 172: Def of “firearm” is out of alphabetical order. Also, please include “or electronic mechanism” in “by means of” clause. 5. Definitions, page 173, note 98: Are we required to allow large group homes as a conditional use? Do we need a general group home definition also? 6. Definitions, page 175 Lot, through or double frontage: This appears to be an error. Our original #132 should be restored or combined with this. FH has no waterfront lots. 7. Definitions, p. 179: “Schools, proprietary” has been omitted. Why? 8. Definitions, p. 180: Need clarification on multi-faced signs – Does each face count or not? (See #69 below.) 9. Page 184 – Additions and enlargments to a nonconforming building or structure for conforming use: If an addition follows the existing non-conforming building line, is that considered an increase of nonconformity? Or does the encroachment into setback have to increase for it to be in increase of nonconformity? 10. Page 184 – Escrow for relocation of building: Is this affected by HF 3477, May 11, 2006? 11. Page 187 – Zoning administrator: Many of these duties are in fact delegated to other staff. Is there a need to mention that in the code? 12. Pages 188-189 – Amendments: This section seems to have been narrowed from the original. It looks like the portions that have been removed are related to rezoning rather than amendments to the code? Is this the case? If so, is rezoning covered elsewhere? 13. Page 189 – 60 day provisions: (d) and (f) appear to contradict each other. Paragraph (d) seems to require greater than 60 days if the planning commission has not made a recommendation, but (f) states a maximum of 60 days. 14. Page 189 – 2/3 majority: What is two-thirds majority of 5? Since the Council is 5 people, can’t we be specific? 15. Page 189 – Fees and costs: escrow again 16. Page 190 – Variances: The Planning Commission would like to adopt language more like the sample provided by Andrea Poehler, as well as “undue hardship” definition. What about variance definition? Is the language in the sample more in keeping with State law? (Roger has mentioned in the past that our variance ordinance was not consistent with present state law.) See below. 17. Page 190 – Variances, termination: Can we add language that terminates any unused variances that may be outstanding in the City that have been unused for at least a year? (In other words, make the time limit apply to past variances as well as future variance.) 18. Page 191 – Variances (b) and (c): There is no footnote explaining why these sections have been struck out. Were they eliminated as unnecessary? Please explain. 19. Page 193 – public hearing for CUP: Is it OK to delete this? What is the basis for deletion? 20. Page 194 – CUP findings, industrial uses: Look up. Was this deleted because we have no industrial zones, so it’s irrelevant? 21. Page 195 – CUP action: Denial must be by resolution. Approval also? 22. Page 197 – Zoning map: Since we have changed the zoning of some parcels, is it necessary to get a new zoning map approved? Does this happen as part of the comp plan process? Part of the recodification? What is the procedure? 23. Page 198 – R-1 uses: Is there any reason not to remove the agriculture use from R-1? If kept, should it perhaps be conditional? Does the permitted use (a)(2) contradict the conditional use (c)(4)? 24. Page 199 – Off-street parking as conditional use: We need clarification on this. Is this aimed at situations like the Awad clinic, a business whose parking lot extends onto a parcel that is R-1 (but not used for a residence)? Or is it meant to apply also to all residences that are adjacent to business properties? Does this wording need to be made clearer? 25. Page 201 – Permitted encroachments on required yards in R-2 “As permitted in the R-1 district”: There is no provision for permitted encroachments in the R-1 section. Should this refer elsewhere? (e.g. 113-241 – page 218-219) 26. Page 203 – Conditional uses in R-4: No mention of townhouses and multi-family buildings. These uses seem to be misplaced to (d) and (e) respectively. Is this an error or intentional? If intentional, please explain. 27. Page 203 – Accessory uses in R-4: Why is conversion and enlargement listed as both a conditional use and accessory use? 28. Page 204 – minimum requirements in the chart: What exactly does this apply to? Townhomes? Less intense uses (one or two-family detached?) How does it apply to multi- family structures? Is there a way to make the intent clear without this chart, since the requirements are the same for both rows? This has been moved from the obsolete R-3 section and doesn’t seem to make sense in this context. 29. Page 208 – Interim use in B-2: Shouldn’t (2) be under Farmer’s Market, say, as e? This isn’t exactly a “use.” 30. Page 208 – B-3 purpose and intent: Specifies the 4 quadrants of Snelling and Larpenteur intersetions. Since SE corner is now PUD, do we need to change this? 31. Page 212 – P-1 Public Land: What do we need to add the Christmas Tree sales by the Lions which we now allow as a legal use? No uses are specified at all. 32. Page 217 – Utility structures: At this time we are not requiring permits for sheds under 120 square feet; should we begin to do so? Apparently this is inconsistent with the building code, which is our authority for requiring permits. The building code doesn’t require them for sheds under 120 square feet. 33. Page 218 – height of detached buildings: Should be be more particular? Instead of “detached buildings” (which could include garages, provided for elsewhere) should we specify “detached utility structures? Or is that unnecessary because of the context. 34. Page 218 – Compost structure requirements: We have not issued any “permitted accessory use permits” in at least the last 5 years – possibly because we have had no compost structures over 25 square feet. Is this permit obsolete? Can we simplify and simply restrict compost structures to under 25 square feet? 35. Page 218 – Garage conversion: This year a resident with a non-conforming driveway (leading to an “ex-garage”) was very upset when the street was re-done and her curb cut was not restored. Do we need to put something into the code to make clear that curb cuts will not be maintained for these driveways? Or is this covered by the (n) Street access for alley property, immediately below? 36. Page 218 – Minimum setback (r): This applies to accessory buildings in this context, right? 37. Page 218 – Application of yard setbacks: This seems unclear. (s) 38. Page 218 – Detached garage condition (u): Add the words “when accessed off an alley.” (This is in the 2001 ordinance but omitted from the draft.) 39. Page 219 – Encroachments: In paragraph (a) the distance from driveway provision does not make sense because such features as steps, sidewalks, off-street parking etc. are often connected to driveways. What is the intention? Does it make sense to have this provision for some of these encroachments, such as flues, lintels, cornices, eaves, and not others? If paragraph (a) is really covering two different classes of encroachments, perhaps they should be treated separately. 40. Page 219 – Encroachments: We need to include basement egress window wells in a or f and specify that they must not extend to a distance less than three feet from any property line. The driveway clearance should also apply. 41. Page 219 – Type in (2)? Should this say “In side and rear yards…”? 42. Page 220 – Fences 6d: In practice we allow 6 foot fences from the front building line to the rear property line. Do we need to change this provision to reflect that? 43. Page 221 – Handheld telephones, etc: Why is this provision here, in the section on “Height limitations”? Does this make sense under current technology, especially with the wide use of cellular phones? 44. Page 227 – Ground-mounted antennas (e): shouldn’t this read “shall be limited to the minimum height necessary to obtain an acceptable signal”? 45. Page 231 – Parking in R-1 and R-2: Should there be provision to prohibit or limit the parking of storage containers (or PODs) on the public right of way? Do we need a similar provision for dumpsters? Or are these policy issues that should be deferred to a later time, with more study? 46. Page 234 – Underground parking credits: Is this consistent with current “best practices”? 47. Page 235 – Lot coverage for vehicle surface: Were the examples in the existing code removed as unnecessary? 48. Page 236 – Parking restrictions: There are exceptions to this in the R-1 zone (winter parking and storage of recreation vehicles). Should there be a reference to those exceptions here? 49. Page 236 – Design and maintenance of off-street parking areas: Some of these provisions duplicate earlier provisions specific to residential zones. Why? Is this section meant to apply to business zones or all zones? Can we state some of these restrictions generally for all parking instead of repeating them several times? For example: surfacing, lighting, etc. 50. Page 238 – Paragraph (11): Sentence regarding drive-through lanes for food pickup may be deleted as result of Council action on drive-throughs. Should it be taken out now or extended to any drive-through use? 51. Page 239 – Mobile food vendors (28): Since this use is not legal in any zone of the City, shouldn’t we eliminate this provision? 52. Page 239 – Food delivery restaurants (29): We have run into some confusion in figuring out what standard to apply to restaurants that have both dine-in and delivery. Can we clean this up somehow? 53. Page 241 – Temporary Use permit (113-346): Is this the basis for the temporary parking permits issued to dumpsters? Are PODs covered somehow? Can we introduce restrictions on storage here instead of the parking section (see note 43 above)? 54. Page 242 – Principal building (b): Should this read “basement with unfinished interior” not “exterior”? 55. Page 242 – Principal building (e): Is this animal provision sufficient? Should there be a limit here on numbers, or is this covered sufficiently in Chapter 10? 56. Page 242 – Principal building: In previous sections, paragraphs at this level are titled. Why not this section and following sections? 57. Page 242 – Exterior storage (b) exceptions and (d) garbage: Should we add closed refuse containers provided they are not visible from the street (except on collection day)? This would be more in keeping with actual practice and would eliminate the ambiguity (enclosed building or closed container) in (d). 58. Page 243 – Environmental pollution: Can (a) be eliminated since 1/1/1989 is long past? Or do we need to have a new date in here? What is the purpose of (a) at this time? See also 113-372, 113-375, 113-377. 59. Page 245 – Hazardous materials: Because the compliance deadline and the enactment of the chapter from the original code are from times long past, what is the purpose of retaining this language here? Do we still need any date-dependent language in this section? 60. Page 245 – 113-380 Dwelling in commercial industrial districts: Is the term “commercial industrial” appropriate, since Falcon Heights has no industrial districts at this time. Would it be sufficient to say “business districts” or “non-residential districts”? 61. Page 245-246 – Dwelling in commercial industrial districts: There seem to be some contradictions/inconsistencies in this section, for instance between (b) and (g). Is this section appropriate for Falcon Heights? 62. Page 248 – Service stations (c): Effective date of chapter – is this necessary since the original reference is of a date long before the present and, presumable, all existing stations would be in in compliance by this time. 63. Page 251 – Tennis courts: This section implies that a building (zoning) permit is required, yes? (But CUP for non-private courts only) 64. Page 252 – Clearcutting (c) certificate of compliance: This seems vague. Who issues the certificate? What are the conditions the owner must comply with? Is this a policy issue the Planning Commission needs to examine in more depth? Is there any state statute or standard that should/could be referenced here? 65. Page 254 – Deleted Subdivision 26. General (environmental): Footnote says not needed and that standards would have to be adopted by ordinance. Are there appropriate standards we need to adopt by ordinanance? Should this provision or something similar be in Chapter 22 Environment? 66. Page 255 – 113-416 (b)(5) Election signs: Has a word been left out of this paragraph or an extra word inserted? It doesn’t quite make sense. 67. Page 225 – 113-416 (d) Expiration of permit: Here we impose a time limit for the erection of a sign under a permit. We do not have a similar time limit for other kinds of building permits in our code. Do we need such a limit on other kinds of permits? Or is this covered by the Minnesota building code? Or is it not an issue at all? 68. Page 256 – Removal of obsolete and nonconforming signs: This seems to be inconsistent with our ordinance on non-conformities. Should this section be eliminated, or are there still conditions under which the city may order the removal of a sign? Is it good for obsolete signs, whether or not they are conforming? Also, which ordinance is meant by the reference “ordinance from which this section is derived”? Is it the original ordinance that established this measure in our old code, or would it be the ordinance adopting the new code, or something else? 69. Page 260 – Temporary signs: Do we need to specify a time limit on temporary signs? When does a “temporary” sign become de facto permanent? Can we allow temporary signs without a permit provided a reasonable time limit is observed? 70. Page 261 – Ground signs: Are “monument signs” meant to fit into this category? We hae several in the city, and they do not seem to fit (the bottom of the sign being at least 30 inches above ground). It is unclear whether they are even allowed in 113-450. It is also unclear what height limit should apply. Do we need to add a category in Division 3 to accommodate these signs? 71. Page 263 – Multifaced signs: The way we have been interpreting this provision is that we do not count both sides of a two-sided sign against the allowed square footage, but if the sign has more than two sides, this provision governs the maximum total area of all sides. Is that correct? And do we need to be more clear about it, here or elsewhere? (See #7 above) Sample variance language provided by City Attorney: DEFINITIONS UNDUE HARDSHIP: The same as that term is defined in Minnesota statutes chapter 462.357, as may be amended, meaning that the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under the conditions allowed by this title, the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not caused by the landowner and a variance, if granted, shall not alter the character of the locality. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if a reasonable use of the property exists under the terms of this title. Undue hardship may also include inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. VARIANCE: A modification of or variation from the provisions of this Title consistent with the State enabling statute for municipalities, as applied to a specific property and granted pursuant to the standards and procedures of this Title, except that a variance shall not be used for modification of the allowable uses within a district and shall not allow uses that are prohibited. PURPOSE: The purpose of this Chapter is to provide for deviations from the literal provisions of this Title in instances where their strict enforcement would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration, and to grant such variances only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of this Title. REVIEW CRITERIA: The Board of Appeals shall not approve any variance request unless they find failure to grant the variance will result in undue hardship on the applicant, and, as may be applicable, all of the following criteria have been met: A.That because of the particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, a particular hardship to the owner would result, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter of the regulations were to be carried out. B.That the conditions upon which an application for a variance is based are unique to the parcel of land for which the variance is sought and are not applicable, generally, to other property within the same zoning classification. C.That the purpose of the variance is not based exclusively upon a financial hardship, or a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of land. D.That the alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by this Title and has not been created by any persons having an interest in the parcel of land and is not a self-created hardship. E.That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel of land is located. F.That the proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety. G.That the requested variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the hardship. H.Does not involve a use which is not allowed within the respective zoning district. EXPIRATION: Unless the Board specifically approves a different time when action is officially taken on the request, approvals which have been issued under the provisions of this Chapter shall expire without further action by the Planning Commission or the Board, unless the applicant commences the authorized use or improvement within one year of the date the variance is issued; or, unless before the expiration of the one year period; the applicant shall apply for an extension thereof by completing and submitting a request for extension, including the renewal fee as established by City Council resolution. The request for extension shall state facts showing a good faith attempt to complete or utilize the approval permitted in the variance. A request for an extension not exceeding one year shall be subject to the review and approval of the Zoning Administrator. Should a second extension of time or any extension of time longer than one year be requested by the applicant, it shall be presented to the Planning Commission for a recommendation and to the Board for a decision.
