This month's formal agenda is very short, preceding two workshops. The workshops will
be off camera. Please bring the binder you received last month with the zoning chapter
and the comprehensive plan.
• The first workshop will be an orientation on variances, kind of a "mini-training," because
we expect to receive a variance application in March. We recommend that you read
Section 62 of the zoning chapter before the meeting, as well as the material in the packet.
The second workshop is in preparation for a planning application we expect to receive
from the UM chapter Alpha Gamma Rho. They have a fraternity house across the street
from the Falcon Heights Campus and are in negotiations with the University to build a
new house on campus. Because they would occupy the land under along-term lease, the
project would come under our zoning jurisdiction, and there is a lot of process that will
have to happen to make that possible. We recommend that you review the comp plan
before the meeting, because the broad question you will need to consider is whether this
use, which is not provided for in our zoning code, is compatible with our existing
comprehensive plan.
GTS has informed me that fall would be the soonest they could set up a custom training
for us, so we need to consider the options again. The final GTS 2007 training brochure is
now available. It has been emailed to you, or it can be downloaded from their website. I
will have some copies available at the meeting.
If you are unable to attend the meeting, please notify Staff as soon as possible. Thank
you!

Planning Commission Minutes
January 23, 2007
PRESENT: Commissioners Long, Lukermann, Mercer-Taylor, Noble, Rodich, Salzberg,
Watkins, City Council Liaison Kuettel. Also present was Staff Liaison Deb Jones.
The meeting was called to order by acting chair, Commissioner Barbara Lukermann at 7:05
p.m. Commissioner Lukermann welcomed the new commissioners and the viewing audience
and asked each commissioner to introduce herself or himself. Commissioners gave brief
introductory statements on their backgrounds.
The minutes of the November 23, 2006 meeting were approved.
Election of Commission Chair for 2007
Commissioner Rich Rodich was elected Chair of the Commission for 2007.
INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Staff Liaison Jones announced upcoming training opportunities for new (and continuing)
Commissioners. Classes are offered by Government Training Service in the spring. GTS
courses are highly recommended. The City will subsidize training for commissioners who
• have not already gone through a training. An alternative is to arrange for a customized
training for Falcon Heights. Two years ago GTS gave a special half-day training for Falcon
Heights on variances, and it was very well-received. Commissioners expressed an interest in
arranging a customized training session especially for the Falcon Heights planning
commission. Ms. Jones said she will contact them and find out what would be possible, with
perhaps some time spent on this next month. Commissioners expressed interest in including
the following topics: planning process, conditional use permits, variances, large institutional
landholders.
In response to a question from Ms. Lukermann, Jones said that there is a steering committee
working on the new comprehensive plan. The planning commission's role is very formal: to
hold a public hearing and make a formal recommendation to the Council. The steering
committee's role is to gather input from the public and formulate the vision for future
planning in the City. There will be some overlap: Commissioner Long is a member of the
steering committee and Commissioner Mercer-Taylor attended their workshop in December.
In response to a question from Ms. Mercer-Taylor, Jones said that the steering committee will
be holding neighborhood meetings to gather input from residents. Letters will be going out
soon to the whole community. Anyone is welcome to go to any of the meetings. Information
will also be on the City website. Ms. Lukermann asked if there is a timetable for a draft. Mr.
Long said next fall or early winter is about the expected time. Jones added that consultants
have been hired to write the technical sections (transportation, stormwater, etc.) and this
matches their timetable. SEH is the consultant firm.
• Copies of the new zonin code were distributed to commissioners with a co of the current
g ~ pY
comprehensive plan. The Council is scheduled to vote on the new code tomorrow evening;
City of Falcon Heights -Planning Commission Meeting of January 23, 2007 -Page 1 of 2
then it will be in effect immediately. A City code is never set in stone; already there are
changes that will be incorporated in the first supplement, which will be published soon.
• Following approval by the Council, the entire code will be available on the web and will be
searchable. The City has arranged for Municipal Code, the recodifying company, to provide
any future reprints to people who are interested in ordering them.
Commissioner Salzberg asked if there are any plans to deal with the electronic signs that are
currently controversial in other cities. Jones said there were no plans, that it has not been an
issue in Falcon Heights yet. Ms. Lukermann pointed out that with two major highways this
might become an issue here. It was suggested that commissioners might read the sign section
of the new code.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 7:32 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Deborah Jones, Staff Liaison

EXPLANATION:
Summary: A Falcon Heights property owner has been in discussions with staff about applying

We recommend that commissioners review Section 62 of Chapter 113, the new zoning code
provided to the commission last month, as well as reading the attachments.

INSTRUCTION FOR APPLICANTS REQUESTING A VARIANCE
• PURPOSE
The purpose of granting a "Variance" is to provide relief from the strict application of the
provisions of the zoning code in cases where such strict application would cause undue
hardship. Variances are intended to allow some relaxation in the application of the performance
standards controlling such items as lot area, building location, height, and setback. They are not
intended to either establish or enlarge a use which is not already permitted within the zoning
district.
CRITERIA
In order to grant a variance, the city shall consider the evidence presented to it by the applicant
and must determine that the request does not violate the following criteria:
a. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare;
b. the conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the property for which it is
sought and are not generally applicable;
c. the conditions which create the need for the variance are due to the particular shape,
topography, or other natural characteristics of the land and are not due to actions taken by the
applicant;
• d. the variance will not in any way adversely affect the purpose and the intent of the city's
comprehensive guide plan or zoning code.
Additional standards are listed in Chapter 9-15.03 subdivision (4) of the city's zoning code.
These references are subject to change under the 2006 recodification of the code.
PROCEDURE
Applicant Responsibility
1. The applicant should become familiar with the provisions set forth in Chapter 9-15.03
subdivision (1-6) in the zoning code.
2. The applicant will meet with the city staff to discuss his/her request. For this meeting, the
applicant must prepare a site sketch plan showing the proposed change and including all
relevant dimensions. Staff will work with property owners to avoid having variance requests
submitted that do not meet the required criteria for granting a variance.
3. If no solution is found or if the property owner feels that a variance is the only amenable
solution to him/her, then the owner/applicant must obtain the following information from
staff:
a. An application form entitled "City of Falcon Heights Planning Application".
b. Instruction sheet entitled "Procedure for Obtaining a Variance".
• 4. The applicant submits one signed copy of the application to the city at least 21 calendar days
prior to the date of the planning commission meeting at which time the applicant wishes
S:\Fomts\Zoning and Building Forms\Instruction for Variance Applicants -updated 2006.doc
his/her request considered. The application shall be accompanied by anon-refundable fee of
• $100.00 per variance and the following supportive documents:
a. A location map of appropriate scale to show the site and surrounding vicinity and
clearly indicate nearby street patterns, property lines, zoning boundaries, and other
significant features that will have an impact on the variance being requested.
b. A sketch plan showing all pertinent dimensions having an influence upon the variance
request.
c. A brief statement describing why the variance is being requested.
d. The names and addresses of the owners of all abutting properties and any other
properties impacted by the applicant's request. These property owners will be notified
of the applicant's request for a variance, and the date and time of the planning
commission meeting at which the applicants request will be considered. (Available in
Ramsey County Courthouse, Room 138, Taxation). The City may waive this
requirement if the information is readily available through City data resources.
e. If topography or extreme grade is the basis on which the request is made, a
topographic map showing all existing and proposed contours, at intervals of no
greater than two feet, shall be submitted.
f. If the application involves such alteration to the site as to require the review of a
certified engineer, the review must be made prior to the submission and the engineer's
comments or recommendations must be included with the application. An example of
such an alteration would be the relocation of an access drive which may result in
• either traffic movement conflicts, or may require the city to move a utility line or
catch basin.
5. The Applicant should plan to attend to attend the public hearing on the variance and should
remain in communication with staff to monitor the status of the application.
6. If the variance is approved, a building permit must be obtained from the City before work
may begin. Work must commence within one year after the variance is approved or the
variance becomes void.
City Procedure
1. Staff will review the application and determine whether it is valid and complete, including
confirmation of the applicant's standing to submit a zoning application on the property.
2. If the application is valid and complete and the fees are paid, the application will be accepted
and the public hearing before the Planning Commission will be scheduled such that final
action by the Council can be completed within 60 days of the application's acceptance. If
more time is required, the City may take 120 days, provided notice is given to the applicant.
3. Legal notice of the variance hearing will be posted at City Hall and in the City's official
newspaper. Notice will also be mailed to all owners of property within 350 feet.
4. After the public hearing the Planning Commission makes a recommendation for approval or
• denial to the City Council, which votes final approval or denial. Council action generally
takes place within 30 days of the Planning Commission recommendation.
S:\Forms\Zoning and Building Forms\Instruction for Variance Applicants -updated 2006.doc
• CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS
PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING A VARIANCE
1. Property owner inquires about a construction project.
2. Staff provides information on the setbacks and other relevant information
from the zoning code.
3. Property owner prepares a site plan with the proposed improvements.
4. Building Official and Planner review the site plan and help the property
owner avoid a variance request if there is a reasonable solution without the
request. Staff will work with property owners to avoid having variance
requests submitted that do not meet the required criteria for granting a
variance.
5. If no solution is found, or if the property owner feels that a variance is the
only amenable solution to him/her, the property owner submits a written
request for a variance, completes the variance application form, submits a
site plan and other requested information, and pays anon-refundable
$100.00 application fee.
6. If more than one variance is sought for a project, all may be included in the
same request but $100.00 is due for each additional variance being
• requested.
7. Applications must be complete and paid at least 21 calendar days before
the scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission in order for the variance
hearing to be placed on the agenda and to allow for the required
notifications and publication.
8. A public hearing before the Planning Commission is scheduled, and a legal
notice of the hearing is posted and sent to the City's official newspaper.
9. Abutting property owners are notified by the city in writing of the variance
request and public hearing, and comments are requested prior to or at the
planning commission meeting.
10. The planning commission holds the public hearing, reviews the request and
recommends approval or denial using staff information, and the criteria for
approving a variance.
11. Under most cases, it is important for the applicant to be present at the
planning commission meeting.
12. The city council approves or denies the variance request, considering the
staff information, the criteria for approving a variance, and the planning
commission's recommendation.
13. If the variance is approved, the applicant or his/her contractor must apply for
• a building permit and work must commence within one year of the date on
which the variance was approved. Otherwise, the variance becomes void.

Workshop
ITEM: Potential Construction of a Fraternity House on UM Falcon Heights Campus
SUBMITTED BY: Deborah Jones, Planning and Zoning Coordinator
REVIEWED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator
EXPLANATION:
Summary: The City has been approached by the University of Minnesota chapter of Alpha
Gamma Rho, a national fraternity for agriculture student, with a proposal to build a new
fraternity house on the Falcon Heights campus at the southeast corner of Cleveland Avenue and
Commonwealth Avenue. As a private use of land leased from the University, this site would be
under City jurisdiction and zoning. At present, the city code makes no provision for this kind of
use in any zone. The Planning Commission needs to consider this proposal in terms of the City's
Comprehensive Plan and determine what actions, if any, to take.
Background:
Alpha Gamma Rho, a national fraternity for students of agriculture, now occupies a house at
2060 Carter Avenue, on the corner of Cleveland and Carter in St. Paul, just across the street from
the main quad of the campus. The fraternity has owned the property since 1914 and added to the
structure several times. They are in search of a larger site, and the University's plans include
providing space for Greek organization housing on campus, both in Falcon Heights and
Minneapolis.
The site proposed for the new fraternity house is at the southeast corner of Cleveland and
Commonwealth, just north of the Commonwealth Terrace Cooperative student housing. It is
across the street from residences on the St. Paul side of Cleveland, but several blocks from the
nearest Falcon Heights residential neighborhood, University Grove. The site is now occupied by
two older houses, previously used as boarding houses and offices, which would be demolished
for the project.
The project would come under the City's zoning jurisdiction because the land would be leased
for use by a private entity, similar to the leaseholds held by residents of the University Grove
neighborhood.
Falcon Heights does not at this time have any provision for fraternity or sorority houses in its
zoning code. This use is not defined in our code, and no similar use is allowed in any zone at
this time. If it is determined that this is a use that should be allowed in the City of Falcon
Heights, changes to the city code will be required. Additional zoning action may also be
required, such as rezoning and amendment of the comprehensive plan.
Issues for discussion:
• • If we are willing to allow this use, where and under what circumstances?
Planning Commission Workshop: 2/27/07 Page 1 of 2
• Can this use be accommodated under our present comprehensive plan?
• If the use does not fit into our present comprehensive plan, do we want to amend the plan to
accommodate this use? In what areas of the City? Under what conditions?
• If we create zoning for fraternity and sorority houses, what lot coverage, setback and parking
regulations would be appropriate. (These issues can be postponed pending research by staff
and the city attorney)
ATTACHMENTS:
• Aerial photo of Falcon Heights Campus area (2006)
• Sample fraternity house site plan -Theta Chi, Atlanta, Georgia, designed by Hug &
Associates, Inc.
• Background information on Alpha Gamma Rho
• Photomontage of typical fraternity architecture
• Information sheet from representative of Alpha Gamma Rho
ACTION REQUESTED:
• Review the Falcon Heights Comprehensive Plan with attention to portions relevant to the
• proposed project. (If possible, please review before the meeting.)
• Discuss the planning issues related to allowing fraternity or sorority house use of land in
Falcon heights
• Formulate direction for staff on the Alpha Gamma Rho proposal
• No formal action is required at this time.

Greek Housing Examples
Treanor Architects, Inc. is possibly the architectural firm with the largest number
of new and remodeled Greek housing facilities in the country.
http://www.treanorarchitects.com/ Good examples of their work can be found
on their Greek Life Portfolio web page.
http'//www treanorarchitects.com/greeklife port.html Exterior photos may be
pulled up on some of the sorority and fraternity houses. Tabs to the right of
each photo provide interior views of the common spaces.
Hug & Associates, LLC is an Atlanta, GA firm that has designed several Greek
houses recently. Their web site allows the viewer to explore the common
areas of their new client facilities.
http://hugarchitects.com/portfolio hospitality.html
Capstone Development Corporation caters to the Greek housing market that
intends to condominiumize a number of Greek houses in a University
redevelopment process. The University of Minnesota is currently in the
exploratory phase of consolidating Greek chapters along University Ave. into
a condominium development at a distant site. http://www.capstone-
dev.com/com communities.asp Capstone's concept and development
• process is explained in the following site: http://www.capstone-
dev.com/greek.asp . There are no images of their completed projects, but
facilities would look much like the newer dormitory buildings on their web site.
Alpha Gamma Rho is not currently considering the participation in a
condominium housing arrangement.
This discussion presents the opportunity to frame the philosophy of Greek life in
the 21St century. Setting all the past negative Greek stereotypes, perpetuated
by the movie industry and unfortunate incidents in the news, aside, colleges
and universities generally embrace "A Call for Values Congruence".
http://www.aascu.ora/leadership/values congruence/congruence 05.pdf The
essence of this document is contained in the words found on page 4 as
follows: "A call for Values Congruence outlines a specific set of
strategies that campuses with negative Greek behavioral issues can use
to close the gap between what fraternities and sororities espouse and
what their chapters do." This is the current guiding document behind the
University of Minnesota's contract with Greek chapters and their Greek
advising program. The Greek web site can be found at
http://www.begreek.org/ . Alpha Gamma Rho's national web site is:

Alpha Gamma Rho is the oldest fraternity on the Saint Paul Campus. Its roots can be traced
back to 1914 when the Uta Ota Club was formed, which consisted of 14 men in the College of
Agriculture. On April 14, 1917 the Uta Ota Club was accepted as the Lambda Chapter of Alpha
Gamma Rho. The six charter members were Frank C. Clap, John Gillan, Maynard Coe, Everett
Coe, M. W. Knoblach, and Harold Hanson. The two lots on the corner of Cleveland and Carter
were the fraternity house currently stands were purchased for $3,325 On December 19, 1919.
The house has been modified over the years. The original house was built in 1936 for
$22,000. In 1956, 12 rooms were added to increase the boarding capacity to 48 members. In
1963, a library and lounge were added, and in 1980 the house was remodeled to the way it
looks today.
All the brothers that leave Alpha Gamma Rho truly leave better men. Some notable Alumni of
the Lambda chapter are...
Maynard Coe- Served Alpha Gamma Rho at the National Level for a total of 39 years
Wallace Jerome- Founder of the Turkey Store, Chairman of the Wisconsin State Board of
Agriculture, President of Wisconsin Turkey Federation, and has received about every turkey
award ever given.
Dallas Bohnsack- Current regent for the University of Minnesota
