ADJOURNMENT: AGENDA ITEM A STAFF ORIGINATOR Mary Kay Wyland DATE September 12, 1994 TOPIC 94-21-V, St. Sign Variance ROMM >' Joseph's Church, Elm 1Street, St. Joseph's Church at 171 Elm Street is requesting permission to install a church identification sign which would face I -35W and contain 96 square feet. The property in question is Zoned R-1 Residential. According to Ordinance No. 9-84, Section III, Institutional Identification Signs in R-1 Zoning District; t more than twenty-four (24) square feet; not higher than six (6 feet; one identification -sign allowed per building. The chu ch is, therefore, requesting a variance for 72 square feet in sign area. There are three buildings on the site so number of signs is not an issue. The following Findings of Fact must be when considered when a variance is requested: A. That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. B. That the plight of the landowners is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the land owner. C. That the hardship is not due to economic considerations alone and when a reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance. D. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that would be denied by this ordinance to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district. E. That the proposed actions will not unreasonably diminish or impair established property values within the neighborhood.` F. That the proposed actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. City Staff has reviewed the request and would comment that a 24 square foot sign could be installed, meet the requirements of the Ordinance and require no variance. In response to the Findings of Fact: The property can be put to reasonable use as it exists. The landowners plight is not unique A reasonable use for the property does exist without the sign. The City has not allowed other churches larger identification signs. The property values will not be diminished by denying this request. A 96 square foot sign is not in keeping with the ordinance. OPTIO2 ........................ ........................ .................... 1. Deny Variance Request for reasons indicated in Staff Report. 2. Approve Variance Request as submitted with condition that proper sign permits be obtain and the sign be located 10 feet from the property line and not exceed 6' in height. ....................................................

The property is Zoned GI, General Industrial and contains Boe Ornamental on Lot 1 and Lino Blacktop on Lot 2. Lino Blacktop intends to split Lot 3 in half and sell the Westerly Parcel A to Boe Ornamental. Boe Ornamental would then like to expand their existing yard to the south onto Parcel A. They are also considering a future expansion project that could include the vacated Industrial Boulevard and construction of a new building to the west. Parcel B will be added to the Lino Blacktop parcel. Our Economic Development Director, Brian Wessel, has been working with the applicant on this request and their proposed expans.on and would recommend approval of the minor subdivision. The Ordinance currently provides that lots within the GI Zoning District contain a mininum of 1 acre in lot area. The proposed lots will exceed that requirement by approximately 22,000 square feet. The proposed lots also meet the minimum lot width requirement of 100'. Park Dedication on these parcel was paid when the original subdivision for the Lino Industrial Park was approved, therefore, additional Park Dedication is not being required. 1. Approve Minor Subdivision as Submitted with the condition that Parcel Abe combined with Lot 1, Block 2, Lino Industrial Park and Parcel B be combined with Lot 2, Block 2, Lino Industrial Park. 2.

Mary Kay Wyland September 94-22-S, Facility, 12, 1994 Anoka County Adult Correctional 4th Avenue, Site Plan Review Anoka County Corrections is proposing an addition to the existing campus located adjacent to the Correctional Facility. The property currently contains two juvenile detention cottages and a juvenile shelter. The proposed request is to construct a 60 bed medium secure facility to house adult county prisoners serving terms of less than one year. The staff will consist of 18 persons and be managed by the Anoka County Corrections Department. Food service is to be provided from the State prison as is the juvenile center's. Parking will be located south of the building on the State property for visitors and on the north side of the building for staff. According to the architect "Perimeter walls will be built of solid reinforced concrete masonry. The exterior of the building will have earth tone colors that will complement the existing adjacent cottages and Juvenile Center. Windows will not exceed 6 inches in width. Each entrance will be secured by remote controlled doors and sallyports. The required outdoor recreation areas will have tight -meshed chain link material with a curved top so as to be unclimable. No "razor ribbon" will be used. The property in questions is Zoned PBS - Public, Semi Public and according to the Zoning Ordinance, public buildings for county and state government are a permitted use. The site plan indicates that setback requirements will be met and parking space is adequate to serve the facility. The proposed plans have been reviewed by the Fire Chief and Police Chief who have both indicated no objections to the proposed request. Brian Wessel, EDAB, has reviewed the site plan and would recommend approval of the architectural style of the structure. Staff would comment that plans and specifications for this construction will receive extensive review by several County and State agencies. Staff would recommend approval with the following conditions: 1. Proper building permits be obtained prior to construction. 2. Arrangements for sewer and water assessments be made prior to issuance of any building permits. 3. Landscaping as outlined on the plans. 4. Parking as provided on plan and ADA approved. 5.

Attached for reference: Exhibit A - Submitted Site Plan Analysis 32,671 Square Feet to 1% Acre Ordinance. The current ordinance regulating accessory building space for lots 32,671 square feet to less than 11,4 acres in size allows for a total combined attached/detached accessory building space of 1,100 square feet or 90% of the size of the house foundation, whichever is greater. 1% Acre to 2% Acre Ordinance. This ordinance applies only to properties in rural districts. The provisions of this ordinance allows for several detached structures, regardless of attached accessory space. The ordinance allows for a maximum 800 square foot storage building, plus a maximum 120 square foot tool shed, plus a maximum 1,100 square foot detached garage provided no attached garage exists. Therefore, the maximum combined accessory storage allowed within this ordinance is 2,020 square feet. 5775 Wayzata Blvd. • Suite 555 • St. Louis Park, MN 55416 • (612) 595-9636•Fax. 595-9837 Space Allowance. The following figures are offered as reference for the size requirements of several types of garages. Square Garage Type Dimensions Footage Single car garage 24' x 12' 200 1-1/2 car garage 24' x 18' 433 2 car garage 24' x 24' 575 2-1/2 car garage 24' x 30' 720 3 car garage 24' x 36' 864 The current Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance allows for 1,100 square feet of accessory building space. Thus, the current standard would allow for a three car garage plus an additional 236 square feet of storage space. Staff believes that this is sufficient space for urban residential purposes. Banta Variance Request. This review of the accessory building ordinance was prompted by a request for variance by Mr. Neil Banta. Mr. Banta requested a variance from the accessory building ordinance for 1 to 11,E acre lots. The variance was to allow the expansion of accessory storage space from 1,328 square feet to 1,712 square feet. This additional accessory storage space was to be the expansion of an existing 528 square foot attached garage to a 912 square foot three car garage. Mr. Banta also has an 800 square feet detached storage building on the property. When this home was built, the ordinance allowed for an 800 square feet storage building and attached accessory space. This ordinance was amended to the current standard in 1992. The variance request was denied on the basis of no unique physical hardship. However, the Planning Commission and City Council instructed staff to review the ordinance to investigate possibly enlarging the accessory building size requirements. Comparison with Other Cities. Provided for comparison are the following accessory building space allowances from several cities with one acre residential districts. These figures are for a combination of attached/detached accessory buildings. City Maximum Allowable Space Lino Lakes Hugo 1,100 square foot maximum combined attached/detached accessory building space. 1,000 square foot attached garage space plus 640 square feet of detached accessory storage. 2 City Maximum Allowable Space Lake Elmo Circle Pines 1,000 square feet of combined attached/detached accessory building space. 1,000 square foot attached garage, plus a maximum square footage of 15 of the rear yard space as detached accessory storage. Under these ordinances, only Circle Pines would allow the detached accessory building space proposed by Mr. Banta. The existing 792 square foot accessory building is less than 15 percent of the approximate rear yard based upon the following calculations. The area of the rear yard must be estimated as staff did not possess a detailed site plan to calculate the depth of the rear yard. Staff assumed a house length of 40 feet, then added the 107 foot front setback, which was then subtracted from the total lot depth. The approximate depth of the rear yard is 109 feet. Therefore the approximate area of the rear yard is (109' x 185' lot width) 20,165 square feet. Under the Circle Pines Ordinance, the rear yard would be able to accommodate approximately a 3,025 square foot building. Suburban Area. The area in which these accessory building standards are applied is generally Suburban, large lot residential. It is the intent of the accessory building ordinance to maintain this suburban character. As urban expansion continues and sewer becomes available, it is expected that these large suburban lots will be subdivided to accommodate the increased demand for land, further urbanizing the area. An increase in the amount of accessory building space, staff believes, is not in keeping with the suburban character. In addition, increasing the amount of accessory building space allowed might make future subdivision difficult. Summary 1. The 1,100 maximum square footage is sufficient to allow for a three car garage plus a small detached accessory storage building. 2. When compared with the accessory building ordinances of Hugo, Circle Pines and Lake Elmo, only Circle Pines would allow the accessory building space requested by Mr. Banta. 3 3. The area which these accessory buildings standards are applied is generally suburban. However, it is expected that in the future, sewer will be made available and that these large suburban lots will be subdivided to accommodate increased urban expansion. Therefore, any expansion of accessory building space would not be in keeping with the expected urban character of the area. Recommendation Based upon the previous summary, staff believes that the current accessory building requirements are satisfactory and should not be altered to increase the amount of accessory building space permitted. Regardless of where the maximum accessory building standard is established, the City will always receive applications to extend the requirements. Because staff believes this is a policy issue best decided by City officials, our office offers the following options: a. No policy change. b. The expansion of the 11,E - 2M acre standard to include lots 1 to 11A acres in size. c. Adoption of a new standard, similar to that employed by Circle Pines, as outlined in this report. Conclusion Staff position with regards to this review of the accessory building standard is that these areas are designated for future urbanization and that any expansion of accessory building space would be contradictory to this anticipated use. Staff believes that the current ordinance standards allow for sufficient accessory building space associated with suburban residential uses. However, staff believes that this issue is a policy matter to be determined by City officials. Therefore, staff offers several options to consider which are outlined in the summary section of this memorandum. 4 7C 5, /5 ; c 2 /2 L Aiv //:`r: •?-7; I 1 1 1 I i 1 .1 1 I / _e, 77 /16 . . . _ -__Dla I c., " . / \ . / 10>' ..------- .
