ADJOURN MINUTES REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING February 24, 1992 7:30 p.m. PRESENT: ABSENT: ALSO PRESENT: Lee Barry Ed Finegan Susan Hoyt,Administrator Len Boche Carolyn Nestingen acting as planner Marie Furton Ken Salzberg Paul Ciernia, Council Member Steve Huso Meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Lee Barry, Chair. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The minutes of the January 27, 1992 meeting was unanimously approved as written. REPORTS REOUESTS RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Request for a variance from 69-2 04(1)(c) of the zoning code by M_ r Raymond Kinney 1447 W. Idaho St. Mr. Kinney requested the commission approve a 1/2 foot sideyard variance in order to construct a new garage, 21 ft. by 22 ft. The new garage would be located in the same position from the side lot line as the current garage which is 4 1/2 ft. from the side lot line rather than 5 ft. as the code requires. If the variance were granted, a two car garage could be built without requiring relandscaping his rear yard. Mr. Kinney's neighbors expressed no objection to the request. Staff recommended the variance request be granted as it meets the requirements of the zoning code and would not substantially diminish or impair property values in the area. Boche moved to grant the variance request, and it was unanimously approved by the commission. 2. Report on the city's 1992 community development block grant application for blight elimination. The commission discussed the city's application of a $191,550 grant of CDBG money to Ramsey County on February 14, 1992. The grant was requested for the clearance of 2061 Larpenteur, to relandscape the property and to relocate the present residents. Hoyt explained the property is in substandard condition and is not compatible with the current zoning code. The grant is a very competitive grant and Falcon Heights would be competing with all of suburban Ramsey County, so if the grant is denied, other options may have to be considered. 3. Regional transit plan review at council workshop 3/11/92 Staff invited all commission members to attend the city council workshop. Councilmember Sam Jacobs, MTC manager and representative to the Regional Transit Board, will be discussing the new regional transit plan. This plan represents a shift in the approach to regional transit planning. The meeting was adjourned at 8:50.

Hearing. The City Council or Planning Commission shall S ' hold a public hearing within thirty (30) days of the date of filing e application, or at the next regularly scheduled meeting after said thirty (3~) days, after publishing notice of such hearing in the official newspaper and sending ~oKnersoatcleastttene(1)sdaysiprior to application as abutting property _. the date of the hearing. ~.~,~,,~~ a. General and Special Requirements: The Planniang~sommianssi~onni~zesr G~ Council shall consider to what extent the app ~~, possible adverse effects of the proposed conditional use, what modifications to the plan and what conditions on approval could further '~W~ minimize the adverse effects of the proposed use. The .following ~ development standards shall be considered general requirements for all conditional use permits except as hereinafter provided. (1) The land area and setback requirements of the property containing such a use or activity meet the minimums established for the district. (2) When abutting a residential use, the property shall be screened and landscaped . ~) Where applicable, all City, county, state and federal laws, • regulations and ordinances shall be complied with and all necessary permits secured. (~) Signs shall not adversely impact adjoining or surrounding residential uses. (5) Adequate off-road parking and loading shall be provided. Such parking and loading shall be screened and landscaped from abutting residential uses. /(6) The road serving the use or activity must be ofansafsucheuse or design to accommodate the proposed use or activity, activity shall not generate such additional extra traffic as to create a nuisance or hazard to existing traffic or to surrounding land use . ~j(7) All access roads, driveways, parking areas, and outside storage, servioe, or sales areas shall be surfaced or grassed to control dust and drainage. (83 All open and outdoor storage, sales and service areas shall be screened Prom view from public streets and from abutting residential uses or districts. PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT 9-15.0, • • (g) All lighting shall be designed to prevent any direct source of light being visible from adjacent residential areas or from the public streets. (10) The use or activity shall be properly drained to control surface water runoff . (11) The architectural appearance and functional plan of the building and site shall not be so dissimilar to thT~e evaluesgor buildings or area as to cause impairment in grope y constitute a blighting influence. (12) The proposed water, sewer and other utilities shall be capable of accommodating the proposed use. /(13) That the proposed use conforms to the comprehensive municipal plan. Such a f finding shall be based upon the following considerations: (a) That certain uses may not be considered appropriate within the interior of residential neighborhoods because of noise, traffic, or other conditions that would tend to affect adversely the residential character of the neighborhood and possible reduce property values. These uses are considered appropriate only on the periphery of residential neighborhoods, or under such conditions as the Planning Commission may deem proper. The uses may represent "buffer" uses for those areas lying between single family dwellings and non-residential uses. (b) That certain uses are considered, as a rule, unsuitable in Business Districts because of inherent bus~roximity to characteristics (e.g. traffic, noise, glare), p residential areas, the fact that they tend not to serve nearby residential areas, or may adversely affect nearby permitted business uses. (c) That certain uses are considered generally unsuitable in Industrial Districts, because of conditions that would tend to discourage other industrial development in the vicinity. These conditions include noise, vibrations, dust, glare, unsightliness or similar nuisances. Certain other industrial land uses are considered generally inappropriate because they represent under-utilization of land. This, in turn, means a low tax return Prom land that under fuller development would be contributing needed revenue to the community's tax base. Such uses, however, may be considered as temporary uses. r PLANNING AND DEIELOPMENT 9-15.0 (d) That certain temporary uses that are generally not suitable within a particular Zoning district are potentially orar basis. This may be due to the lack of suitable on a t~P y ro erty, to a short-term need (such development on existing p P roe of adverse as highway construction), or to a limited deg effects, upon adjacent land use. These standards shall be strictly applied unless it is found in the particular case that the community safety, health and welfare can as well or better be served by modifying them. Any special requirements articular case which are imposed elsewhere in this applicable to the p chapter shall be met in each case. lications are reviewed by the Planning Commission but acted upon ~ihen aPP the City Council, tre Planning Commission shincluding all recommended Council whatever action it deems advisable, ermit. conditions on the granting of the conditional use p Subdivision ~4. Action: In acting upon applications for conditional use permits, the Planning Commission or City Council shall consider the effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience and welfare of the occupants of the surrounding lands, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, including parking facilities on adjacent sites. When applications are reviewed byCouncil Planning Commission but acted upon by the City Council the Creturn the may hold whatever public hearings it deems advisable or may application to the Planning Commission for further consideration. (a} Approval: If it is determined that the general. and special requirements of this chapter will be satisfied by applicant's plan, uch ermit and may impose conditions relating to the City may grant s p the general and special requirements in each case, including durational conditions. (b) Denial: Conditional use permits may be denied by resolution. Such resolution shall state the reasons for denial, but may incorporate by reference the mortseshan~~r8ct~ti~nyoando~Yhother planning Commission, staff rep ~ material relevant to the decision.
