Introduction Currently, composting is not allowed in the City of Falcon Heights under the Nuisance Code. The existence of composting areas within the City, and the termination of the collection of yard wastes by Local haulers in 1990 suggest that a composting ordinance is timely.

K, and-decided to use the I'riversity of Minnesota ~~tension Service publication on composting practices as a guideline in developing its composting procedures. The commission will seek permission from the University if any part of the. above L'niversitc's publication is used in its procedure on composting. Suggestions will be made as to what parts will be adopted from this publication at the next commission meeting. REPORT FROM RAMSEY COUNTY: Marty McCleery gave a report on yard waste and what the County will require of municipalities to handle their community's yard waste. Marty indicated that Ramsey County didn't seem to have any concrete plans for the disposal of yard waste which leaves the municipalities in a sort of limbo. FOLLOW-UP DISCUSSION ON YARD WASTE: Leo Klisch discussed possibly using the money from the new 6% tax on garbage to fund a pilot project for composting for Falcon Heights. Marty McCleery and John Hustad mentioned that it might help if the Solid Waste Commission approached the Metropolitan Council for assistance in coming up with a feasible method for handling yard waste. John Thompson suggested getting in touch with Ramsey County about getting better supervision of the Pierce Butler site, along with better educating the public as to what • will happen with the new changes coming in the disposal of yard waste. Also mentioned was getting together with different communities to approach the County to take more action on the yard waste matter. After the above discussion, the commission decided to move ahead and take the initiative rather than wait for the County on yard waste issues a~ the County seems unsure as to what direction it is taking on the issue. , f ,~ n j • WORKSHOP WITH CITY COUNCIL ?-ND HAULER LICENSING: Consensus among the commission was that the commission should come up with an integrated plan for collection including hauler licensing. The commission would then. submit the plan to the City Council for approval. Discussed problems in developing a comprehensive plan such as limiting haulers to prevent wear on city streets, creating a competition among haulers so the city gets the most for its money should rates be based on volume. Nancy Misra and John Hustad drafted part of a plan slang with other commission members to include three rate levels and posting of rates by haulers would be included in the new procedure. Nancy Misra and John Hustad will complete the plan and submit at the newt Solid Waste Commission meeting in November. The commission would then review the plan and make any changes before taking it to the. City Council. The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 P.M. • Respectfully submitted, Michael Haglund Acting Secretary • s ~~ J Ms~tint Date: 11/6/89 CITT OT lALCON 1LIAit ~t~"aa Its: F-1 ~.~.

(ATTACHMENT A) ,CTIa 1LQ8LSTla: 1. Review and discuss.. `; REVIEWING DEFINITIONS OF' AOCFS.SORY STRUCTURP-~- ~x ~ - 9-1.02, Subdivision 2. Definitions. • 1. Accessory Buildi~_ A subordinats building or a portion of the anin bulldog, which is ~ecl on the same lot as the main building and the pspore of which is clearly incidental to that of the principal wilding. This definition of an accessory structure inclv~s sttact-ed garages as an accessory building in all zones because atta~l~d garages are clearly a subordinate use of the principal building. :~In combined with the following Code sections: 9-2.04 Accessory Buildings and Structures.-'`division 1. General. e. Accessory buildings in the busies and industry districts shall be located any place to Lre of the principal building, subject to the Build~ij ide- and the fire zone regulations. f• ~ detached garages or other sty building shall be located nearer to the front`7ef dine than the principal building on that Sot. Applying 9-2.04, Subdivision 1(e) the Code restrict$ attached garages in business and industry districts to the rear of the principal structure. This is desirable. Truck traffic is less visf~le. And a business facade is more attractive than a garage on the main t2~oc!oaghfare. However, under 9-2.04, Subdivision 1(f) no attad~ed garages in any district can be placed in front of the principal structuae, even when all setbacks are maintained. Given the fact that Falcon Woo3~ has number of homes built with the attached garages in front of the principal structure and that it is a fairly common building style, it sight be useful to exempt attached garages in residential zones from this requirement. In order to avoid huge garages. when setbacks are easily set, I propose limiting the size of the garage to a four car garage. - A second definition of accessory structure appears in the Code. 9-2.04 Accessory Buildings and Structures ~t~bdivision 1. General. (b) An accessory building shall be oaoside~red as an integral part of the principal building if it is located Ieas than twelve (12) feet from the principal building with respect to firewall and other requirements of the Building Code and this Oode. As it stands, this portion of the Code allows anq accessory structure within twelve (12) feet of the principal structure to be considered part of the principal structure. It was originally iaGanded to assure that an accessory structure close to the principal structure meets the Fire Code and Uniform Building Code. However, the a~lition of "and this Oo3e" creates the following problems: it conflicts with the other definition of accessory structure, and, it potentially allows all accessory structures within twelve (l2) feet of the principal bulldog to be defined as the principal structure, and subject to rules gove=aiig principal rather than accessory structures. Using this definition, en accessory building could go in front of a principal structure. I reco^^~end eliminating 'and this Clods" for clarification. ~• ., M~ftiae Dstr. 11/6/89 CITT Ol tALCOIo tilA'tt ~i~ ite: F=5 FLANNII~G COl4aSSIQv IT!?!

Currently, the City relies on the property owners to record these land use designations. With the exception of Subdivision recordings, which are infrequent and handled as part of a lengthy approval process, I recon,~nend that the City directly record these documents with the County l~;to assure the State that the City is fulfilling its statutory obligations; 2) to minimize the delay between granting and recording these documents; and 3) to avoid spending administrative time checking on whether or not they are recorded.

As part of this effort, the University of Minnesota inquired if the City is interested in purchasing the three common areas ar~d lots 7 and 14,. which act as a commons (see Attachment A). You may wish to consider these facts when making your decision: 1. The commons areas serve adjoining property owners as. undivided open space. They do not act as a.neighborhood park because there is no public access. _ 2. Our park plan does not address these areas as park space. There is a University Grove Park. 3.

Information you may wish to consider when making your decision is: 1. Lot C is large enough for a single family dwelling as it currently exists without the additional piece of land. 2. The City does not require the easement for utilities or streets. 3. Any future development on the soccer fields would most logically be accused from Cleveland. 4. The easement may be used for pedestrian access to the proposed walkway included in the City of Falcon Heights Park Plan. There are currently three access points from the Grove neighborhood to the'east (see Attachments B & C). 5. The adjoining land use to the east is an open space, .which the University is landscaping next to the University tennis courts. 6.

He requested Planning Commission to take into consideration the size of the lots and the size of such storage sheds so they be harmonious and in keeping with the neighborhood.

VARIANCE REQUEST FROM HERBERT HORTON, 1468 WEST CALIFORNIA Herbert Horton, 1468 West California Avenue, requested a variance to construct a temporary wheelchair ramp in his front yard. Mr. Horton was not present. Mrs. Horton broke her leg and will be confined to a wheelchair for a period of from three to twelve months. Due to the placement of his garage, the narrow gate in rear yard and angle of steps, he is unable to place such a ramp in the rear exit. A temporary variance was granted to Mr. Horton on September 15th due to the emergency hardship as Mrs. Horton would be trapped in her home in the case of a fire. Barry moved, seconded by Grittner, to reapprove the variance request for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months contingent upon the wheelchair ramp passing the inspection of the Building Inspector. The variance is granted due to the hardship of the location, and the safety and welfare of the resident. Motion carried unanimously. VARIANCE REQUEST FROM CARNELIS DUIJNDAM, 11?9 FAIRVIEW AVENUE NORTH Mr. Duijndam, 1749 Fairview Avenue North, requested a variance to construct a new garage which extends beyond the front of the principal structure. Staff Planner Susan Hoyt Taff advised that a variance would not be required for the construction of the attached garage because Mr. Duijndam will be extending his principal structure along with his garage. The extension of the principle structure with the attached garage does not require a variance because it meets the height and setback requirements in the Code. Furthermore, the Code also defines any structure within twelve (12) feet of the principle structure as part of the principle structure. Using this interpretation in the Code, the attached garage would be considered part of the principle structure. And, therefore, no variance would be required. The variance request was withdrawn and the fee will be refunded. Staff Planner Susan Hoyt Taff will review the City Code to determine where language defining an accessory structure is contradictory ~ j7 ( ~' MINUTES r<;s~ REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 2, 1989 PAGE 2 • and recommend necessary changes.
