Review Regular Agenda of October 26, 2020 14
15
Item 6A – City Engineer Hankee explained the procedural nature of this request. An 16
ordinance amendment is required related to a vacation for a small building project. There 17
is a large utility power line overhead and the drainage and utility easement mimics that. 18
However, the drainage and utility ground easement doesn’t need to be as large as the 19
overhead so therefore the City can grant the vacation to allow for construction of a deck. 20
Mayor Rafferty noted that this type of change comes at quite a cost to the property 21
owner; Community Development Director Gr ochala explained the costs related to a 22
vacation and that is what is charged. 23
24
Items 6B through 6F - City Engineer Hankee noted that all items relate to assessments 25
(voluntary) for individuals or developers. Regarding 6B, Ms. Hankee explained that a 26
property that is required to pay additional water main fees based on current code. City 27
Engineer Hankee reviewed each of the proposed assessments. 28
29
Item 6G – City Engineer Hankee noted there are many final payments coming through this 30
time of the year related mainly to the finish of the main construction season. This item 31
relates to the Pheasant Hills water main project. That project scope was increased at one 32
point and now the final payment authorization is requested and is just slightly above the 33
budget. 34
35
Item 6H – City Engineer Hankee noted the final payment requested related to the Sewer 36
Extension to Water Tower #3 project. The project came in somewhat under budget. 37
38
Item 6I – City Engineer Hankee explained the Surface Water Maintenance Project (2018) 39
and its elements. One area within the project just became dry enough to enter and do 40
necessary work this year. She noted the final payment amount. 41
42
Item 6J – City Eng ineer Hankee explained that staff is requesting authorization to accept 43
quotes for a 2020 Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Project. 44

open to having a discussion at an upcoming work session. 50

to the ordinance are printed in red. Staff has adjusted fees to account for inflationary increases;
they are generally consistent with neighboring cities. The changes proposed for 2021 are outlined

This formula covers degradation for depreciation caused by intrusion into the right-of-
way. The depreciation applies to the original surface of the right-of-way and to the
overlays and seal-coats applied to the surface. The formula includes life expectancy
schedules for each and has an estimated cost per square yard based on the quality of the
right-of-way surface required for different levels of traffic. This formula creates a
degradation fee which is determined by the cost per square yard for street, overlay, and
seal-coat, multiplied by the depreciation schedule, multiplied by the area of the street
patch.
(cost per square yard for street overlay and seal-coat x depreciation schedule rates) x area
of street patch = degradation fee

The City Council of Lino Lakes ordains:
Section 1. Preamble.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that targeted residential picketing in front of
or about a residential dwelling causes emotional distress to the dwelling occupants,
obstructs and interferes with the free use of public rights-of-way and has as its object

INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council adoption of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
The current plan can be found on the City website: https://linolakes.us/compplan.
BACKGROUND
The Comprehensive Plan is the community’s vision for development in Lino Lakes. Although it
is a physical plan, it reflects the community's social and economic values. These values are
translated into the type of land use the city desires and programs regarding economic
development, housing, parks, transportation and other key areas.
The Comprehensive Plan helps communities determine how to plan for investment in sewer,
water, roads, parks, and other infrastructure. When evaluating how land will be used in the
future, communities also consider housing needs, employment patterns, recreational space and
commercial activities. Planning where different uses will go helps communities maximize
efficient delivery of services to businesses and residents, which helps manage costs. Identifying
land uses provides a guide to the city to tell them if a development is located on a parcel that is
consistent with the infrastructure and city services provided to that area.
2
When the city adopts the Comprehensive Plan, it provides general guidance to landowners about
how the city expects the land to develop. The City Council must then adopt a Zoning Map and
Zoning Ordinance standards to implement that plan and begin work on other implementation
items.
Process
The city kicked off the 2040 update process with a Joint Council/Board meeting on May 15,
2017. The City met with residents, boards and City Council and held open houses throughout
the 2 ½ year process. The City prepared newsletter articles, created a website and created a My
Sidewalk page to provide information and opportunities for feedback on the plan.
The public hearing was held on April 10, 2019 and on May 13, 2019, the City Council approved
Resolution 19-54 authorizing distribution of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for adjacent
jurisdiction review. The plan was submitted to the Metropolitan Council on November 27, 2019
and the Metropolitan Council completed their review on October 28, 2020.
Chapter Summary
Chapter 1 - Introduction
This chapter of the Comprehensive Plan builds a foundation for the chapters to follow, by
describing the community and its regional context, and setting forth the vision of Lino Lakes’
future that guides the entire plan. This chapter provides the Community Vision statement.
This chapter provides information about the history of Lino Lakes and describes how the city fits
in the regional context. It describes the process that the city went through to create the 2040
Comprehensive Plan and summarizes the results of the surveys done as part of the process.
Chapter 2 - Community Background
This chapter summarizes background information helpful for understanding the natural
environment, the built environment and the people of Lino Lakes. The information presented
here is a snapshot of the community using data collected from a variety of sources including the
2030 Comprehensive Plan, the United States Census Bureaus’ Decennial Census and
Community Surveys, the Metropolitan Council and from the city’s own Geographic Information
System (GIS). This chapter provides demographic data and maps of the existing conditions.
Chapter 3 - Land Use
The Land Use Plan builds on the city’s vision and establishes a policy framework in which future
development will occur and how the city will accommodate forecasted household and
employment growth. This chapter provides direction to landowners and developers about how
and when development is expected by providing land use classifications with density ranges and
planning parameters, as well as sewer staging.
3
The Council originally intended the 2040 Plan as an update to the 2030 plan and few significant
changes were expected. However, there were changes to the land use plan and the staging plan
and the chapter includes graphics to identify exactly where those changes occurred.
The land use chapter will be implemented by adopting a new Zoning Map to correspond with the
land use changes and the city will update the City Code to implement the comprehensive plan
goals as noted in the Planning Districts (in this chapter) and the Implementation chapter.
Chapter 4 - Housing
The Housing Plan satisfies the requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act and
stipulations of Minnesota Statute §473.859, Subd. 2(c) and Subd. 4. The plan includes
background information on current housing supply and an assessment of current and future
housing needs. Chapter 12 of the Comprehensive Plan includes implementation strategies for the
Housing Plan and other plan chapters.
The city developed a Land Use Plan that identifies residential areas at a variety of density ranges
and will incorporate areas with higher density housing options. This will accommodate a wider
variety of housing types including senior housing, live/work units, and multi-family in a variety
of styles from rental, condo and townhomes. Single family options will range from entry-level
single family, move-up for growing families and “executive housing” to meet the needs of a
changing population. This shift to provide a more diverse housing supply supports future
economic development objectives by retaining existing residents and attracting new residents
from all social and economic backgrounds and is an essential component for sustainable growth.
These areas will provide much needed housing options for the city’s work force, young
professionals, families, and senior residents. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan continues to
accommodate these housing options.
The city is required to show how the comprehensive plan will accommodate their share of the
regional demand for affordable housings. “Affordable” housing is defined as housing that is
affordable to low-and moderate-income families. The Metropolitan Council has calculated Lino
Lakes’ share of the region’s need for low- and moderate-income housing for the decade of 2021-
2030 to be 515 new units.
The city must demonstrate that it has guided residential land at densities sufficient to create
opportunities for construction of affordable housing, to accommodate its share of the region’s
affordable housing need for 2021-2030. The regional and local plans will be updated again in ten
years, at which time the city will need to accommodate the need for affordable units in the
following decade of 2031-2040.
Chapter 5 - Economic Development
This chapter will set goals and policies for economic development, document some of the key
indicators of the city’s economy, describe available economic development assistance tools and
describe the economic development priorities as established in the city’s Economic Development
Strategic Plan. This chapter also provide employment and commuter patterns.
4
Chapter 6 - Transportation
The purpose of the Transportation Chapter is to provide the policy and program guidance needed
to make appropriate transportation-related decisions when development occurs, when elements
of the transportation system need to be upgraded or when transportation problems need to be
addressed. The Transportation Chapter demonstrates how the City of Lino Lakes will provide for
an integrated transportation system that will serve the future needs of its residents and
businesses, support the city’s development plans, and complement the portion of the
metropolitan transportation system that lies within the city’s boundaries.
Chapter 7 - Local Water Management Plan
The City of Lino Lakes’ Local Water Management Plan (LWMP) is a local management plan
that meets the requirements of Minnesota Statutes §103B.235, Minnesota Rules 8410, the Rice
Creek Watershed District Watershed Management Plan (dated January 2010, as amended
November 9, 2016), and the Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization Watershed
Management Plan (dated October 26, 2016). Minnesota Statute §103B.201 states that the
purposes of the water management programs are to:
• Protect, preserve, and use natural surface and groundwater storage and retention systems;
• Minimize public capital expenditures needed to correct flooding and water quality
problems;
• Identify and plan for means to effectively protect and improve surface and groundwater
quality;
• Establish more uniform local policies and official controls for surface and groundwater
management;
• Prevent erosion of soil into surface water systems;
• Promote groundwater recharge;
• Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities; and
• Secure the other benefits associated with the proper management of surface and
groundwater.
Chapter 8 - Sanitary Sewer
The 2040 Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan has two primary purposes. The first purpose is to
provide recommendations and guidance to the City of Lino Lakes by evaluating the sewer
system requirements needed from now through the year 2040 and beyond. This is completed by
developing a strategy to implement a sanitary sewer system in accordance with the anticipated
growth and development patterns of the city, as forecasted in the City of Lino Lakes 2040 Land
Use Plan and devising a proposed infrastructure system that can be feasibly and economically
constructed to support this growth.
The second purpose is to produce documentation that can be used by state and local agencies,
particularly the Metropolitan Council, for future local and regional planning purposes. As a
result of projected population increases and land use changes in Lino Lakes, the Metropolitan
Council estimates that sanitary sewer flows will increase approximately 54 percent between 2010
5
and 2040. This Sanitary Sewer Plan outlines the locations in which the Metropolitan Council can
expect to see increased wastewater flows, allowing the Council to determine if capacity upgrades
will be required in the region. This plan was developed in conjunction with the Land Use plan.
Chapter 9 - Water Supply Plan
This chapter describes Lino Lakes’ plan to meet its existing and future water supply needs in a
safe and dependable manner. First, it evaluates the existing Lino Lakes water system to identify
any needs or deficiencies. Second, it identifies the future water system needed for the city’s
growth through full build out based on the city’s population projections described in Chapter 1
and the 2040 and Full Build Land Use Plans described in Chapter 3 of this plan.
This plan recommends that the city consider two water treatment plants, one in the southern
region of the city (Water Treatment Plant No. 1) and one in the northern region of the city
(Water Treatment Plant No. 2). The city is currently considering the future location of Water
Treatment Plant No. 1 to be near the future water tower site along Birch Street. The
recommended location for Water Treatment Plant No. 2 is within the potential future well field,
located in the northern region of the city. Both water treatment facilities would be designed for
the removal of iron and manganese. The city would update the feasibility study before designing
a water treatment facility.
Chapter 10 - Parks, Greenways and Trails
The Parks, Greenways and Trails chapter is an update that builds on the strong history of parks
and natural resource planning in Lino Lakes, including the 2004 Parks, Natural Open Space /
Greenways and Trail System, which was updated in 2011 as part of the 2030 Comprehensive
Plan update, and adopted by reference in Chapter 2, the Resource Management System Plan.
This chapter of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan brings together and replaces those separate studies
with a cohesive plan that reflects the community’s long held belief that ongoing development
must be in harmony with preserving the innate character of the city. The common vision and
goal that has been carried throughout the various comprehensive plans and park plan updates is a
continued focus on preserving the natural open space character of the city.
Chapter 11 - Community Facilities
The purpose of this chapter is to provide goals and policies for community facilities, inventory
the various community facilities within the City of Lino Lakes, and to identify future community
facility needs to accommodate the need for new services. One update from the 2030 plan is a
note that the public works building has outgrown their current space due to the continued growth
of the city. The City Council will continue to evaluate options for improvements.
6
Chapter 12 - Implementation
The Comprehensive Plan is the principal tool for guiding the development of Lino Lakes. The
community’s vision for the future will be realized only if the plan is implemented. The purpose
of this section is to provide guidance on using the plan. Using the plan requires balancing the
community aspirations and adapting to conditions that will change over the life of the plan. It
also provides a “to-do list” of work the city should do to ensure that the plan is implemented in
the future.
SUMMARY
Staff recommends adoption of 2040 Comprehensive Plan with the minor changes required by the
Metropolitan Council, including modifications to lower our population, housing and employment
forecasts. The current Comprehensive Plan reflects these changes.

INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration of Ordinance No. 05-20, Vacating Drainage &
Utility Easements, Lot 14, Block 2, Northpointe 2nd Addition.
BACKGROUND
2063 Palm Street is a residential parcel located on the north side of Palm Street. The property
owners, Brandon and Anna Newman, have submitted a land use application requesting the
vacation, of a portion, of a drainage easement on the property.
The drainage and utility easement was dedicated to the City of Lino Lakes in 2014 with the
NorthPointe 2nd Addition plat. The easement overlaps an existing Northern States Power Co.
(Xcel Energy) gas and electric easement located on the property. The current owners, Brandon
and Anna Newman, would like to construct a deck on the rear of their home into the easement
area. The applicant is requesting that a portion of the drainage easement be vacated to allow
for the construction of a deck.
Xcel Energy has provided their Consent to Improvements for the proposed deck. It is the
property owner’s responsibility to work with Xcel Energy on an agreement regarding the Xcel
easements. The Drainage and Utility easement was placed over the Xcel Energy easement and
thus, vacating with the consent of Xcel Energy is not an encumbrance to the City. The
proposed deck does not impact City utilities or drainage. The applicant is required to remove
all accessory structures from adjacent City property and be in compliance with setback
requirements.

BACKGROUND
The applicant, Christopher Stowe, submitted a Land Use Application for a conditional use
permit for Commercial Stables at 426 Pine Street to operate a horse riding club and increase the
number of allowed animal units on site.
ANALYSIS
History
The subject site has had the following uses:
• 1986-Conditional Use Permit for Riding Stable/Show Arena
• 1997: Conditional Use Permit for BMX Track/Arena
2
Both the 1986 and 1997 conditional use permits have expired because the uses have ceased for
more than one (1) year (Section 1007.016(2)(k)). These CUP’s shall be terminated and the
applicant must apply for a new conditional use permit.
In July 2020, City staff received a call concerning the number of horses on the property. Staff
sent Mr. Stowe a letter offering the opportunity to learn about the horses and operations. Per
Mr. Stowe’s 10/5/2020 email correspondence, there is an average of 22 and a maximum 26
horses on site. Half of the horses are rescue horses and he has a group of 6 friends that are
involved in the riding club. See Attachment #2 for email narrative.
Due to the nature of the horse operations and the number of horses, a conditional use permit for
Commercial Stables is required.
Zoning and Land Use
The subject site consists of 3 parcels. These parcels are zoned R-Rural and allow for
Commercial Stables with a conditional use permit.

TOTAL 25.05
The applicant owns all 3 parcels and lives in the single family home located on PID # 05-31-
22-22-0006. Smaller accessory structures related to the home also exist on this parcel.
Driveways to PID #05-31-22-22-0003 exist from the house and Pine Street where the arena,
large accessory structure, and restrooms are located. Using the City’s DatakLink GIS website,
the arena is approximately 250ft x 120ft (30,000 sf) and the large accessory structure is
approximately 110ft x 50 ft (5,500sf). The horse corrals and pasture area are located on PID
#05-31-22-22-0005.
Using the City’s DataLink GIS website, wetlands and floodplain are indicated on all 3 parcels.
Without the benefit of a certificate of survey and using GIS, there are approximately 22 acres
of wetland and floodplain on the 25 acre site. The applicant is currently working with RCWD
and City staff regarding potential wetland impacts, restoration requirements and other wetland
and floodplain disputes.
Pine Street and 4th Avenue are major collector roads and have capacity to serve a commercial
stable operation.
Animal Units Allowed
Section 1007.001(2) defines Animal Unit as follows:
ANIMAL UNIT. A unit of measure used to compare differences in the production of
animal manure that employs as a standard the amount of manure produced on a regular basis by
a slaughter steer or heifer for an animal feedlot or a manure storage area, calculated by
multiplying the number of animals of each type by the respective multiplication factor and
summing the resulting values for the total number of animal units. For purposes of this chapter,
the following multiplication factors shall apply. For animals not listed, the number of animal
units is the average weight of the animal in pounds divided by 1,000 pounds.
Animal Animal Unit
Dairy Cattle
Mature Cow (1,000 pounds or over) 1.4
Mature Cow (Under 1,000 pounds) 1.0

05-31-22-22-0005 15.09 15 7.5
TOTAL 25.05 25 12.5
For parcels zoned R, Rural, Section 1007.080(5)(f) states, “Keeping of farm animals of up to
three hundred (300) animal units in conformance with Chapter 503. No more than one (1)
animal unit per two (2) acres.” The applicant could have 12.5 animal units without a
conditional use permit assuming all other regulatory agency requirements can be met.
A conditional use permit for Commercial Stables is required because of the horse riding club
being operated on site. With an approved conditional use permit, a maximum of 12.5 animal
units are allowed on the three (3) parcels combined without a facility management and waste
handling plan.
With an approved conditional use permit, Section 1007.058(3)(d) allows up to double the
animal unit density with an approved facility management and waste handling plan. This
would allow for a maximum of 25.0 animal units on the three (3) parcels combined.
The applicant states the following numbers of farm animals are currently on site:
Animal # of Animals Animal Unit Total # Animal
Units
Cow (500 pounds) 4 0.5 2
Horse 20 1.0 20
Chickens 20 .003 0.06
TOTAL 22.06
5
Currently, only 12.5 animal units are allowed. If the CUP and a waste management plan are
approved, a maximum of 25.0 animal units would be allowed.
Grading Plan and Stormwater Management
Although a grading plan and stormwater management plan is not specifically required for the
conditional use permit application, all efforts shall be made to prevent manure waste and runoff
from draining into ditches and wetlands.
Public Utilities
The house and arena are served by private well and septic system. The applicant shall provide
documentation that the septic system and drain field have been inspected and determined to be
in compliance with state requirements and sized for intended use. It should also be noted that
any future improvements required for restrooms shall be ADA compliant.
Landscaping and Tree Preservation Plan
Landscaping and tree preservation is not required for the commercial stables operation.
Wetlands
Wetlands are located on all three (3) parcels. An approved wetland delineation is not required
for the conditional use permit application; however, Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD)
may require one. The applicant has been working with RCWD and the City regarding the
potential need for restoration of the wetlands on the site that were previously filled. The
subject site shall be in compliance with all City and other regulatory agency requirements or
the conditional use permit may be revoked.
Floodplain
The 2015 DFIRM indicates Zone A floodplain on all three (3) parcels. It appears the existing
house, smaller accessory structures and arena are not within the floodplain. The larger
accessory structure near the arena appears to be in the Zone A floodplain. The exact year of its
construction is unknown; however, a CUP was approved in 1986 for the riding stable arena so
it could be assumed the large accessory structure was constructed in that same time period and
would have been subject to the 1982 FEMA floodplain requirements. The 1982 FEMA map
shows the large accessory structure out of the floodplain. This structure would be considered
legal non-conforming and subject to the Zoning and Floodplain Ordinance non-conformities
regulations.
Accessory Structures
The applicant currently has three (3) outside horse shelters approximately 10ft x 20ft.
Assuming each shelter can house 4 horses, the maximum numbers of shelters allowed should
be limited to either 3 or 6 depending on the final CUP approval. The shelters are specific
accessory structures associated with the operation of a commercial stable.
6
A zoning or building permit is required for any accessory structure construction. All structures
shall meet setback requirements and shall not be located in the front yards of either parcel.
Signage
Per Chapter 1010: Signs, one sign with a maximum size of 6 square feet placed at least 10 feet
from the property line is allowed without a permit.
Staff Concerns
See Attachment #6, Environmental Coordinator letter dated October 7, 2020 for a detailed
analysis. Staff identifies the following concerns:
• Wetlands and Floodplain
There are approximately 22 acres of wetlands and floodplain on the 25 acre site. This limits the
amount of upland area to operate a commercial stable, pasture farm animals and properly
manage manure waste.
MN State rules state that for manure application, a minimum setback of 300 feet from protected
wetlands is required. A 50 foot non-manured vegetated buffer can be used in place of the 300
foot setback during non-winter months. A 50 ft wide vegetated buffer from the wetland shall
be maintained.
Manure shall not be stored or spread in the floodplain. Manure bins and/or manure storage
shall be located outside the floodplain.
• Animal Health
Given the limited amount of upland area, staff has concerns regarding the amount of pasture the
animals have. Per the University of Minnesota Extension-Horse website, manure should not be
spread on pastures with more than 1 horse per 2 acres.
• Facility Management and Waste Handling Plan
The average 1,000 pound horse produces 56 pounds of manure per day. Due to the large
volume of manure potentially produced by 25 horses and the limited storage capacity on site
due to wetlands and floodplain, a more detailed manure management plan approved by the
MPCA is required.
Lot Combination
The commercial stable operates on PID #05-31-22-22-0003 (arena and large accessory
structure) and PID #05-31-22-22-0005 (corral and pasture). These parcels shall be combined.
The single family house and associated accessory structures located on PID #05-31-22-22-0006
do not need to be combined and can function separately.
7
Site Improvement Performance Agreement
A Site Improvement Performance Agreement is not required.
Findings of Fact
Council Resolution No. 20-129 details the Conditional Use Permit Findings of Fact.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning & Zoning Board held a public hearing on October 14, 2020. There was one (1)
public comment received as an email in favor of the conditional use permit. The Board felt the
applicant should be allowed the maximum 25.0 animal units if an approved MPCA facility
management and waste handling plan were in place. The Board recommended approval of the
Conditional Use Permit for Commercial Stables with a 6-0 vote.

Conditional Use Permit for Commercial Stables
Applicant Narrative Email Summary
10-5-2020: Per Chris Stowe:
Average 22 horses.
The maximum number would be 26.
Half or so are rescues being too old to ride. (Over 20 years) or have health conditions that affect
their abilities.
The others are pleasure horses. Riden weekly or more. The indoor arena is a blessing because
most horses arent ridden enough in the winter, which isnt good for them. Or their riders.
I have 6 friends that are involved in my riding club. Sometimes they bring friends, mostly to help
with chores. Everyone does their own chores and provides their own hay, grain, treats, ect.
The building has over 30 original stalls and is being used as it's intended build. As is the
haybarn. They are outside during the day. They sometimes come in at night, if theres storms, or
in winter. Its mainly dependant on the weather, and the owner. A few of the paddocks have
shelters that have been up a few years. They serve as a sunscreen and wind block.
The auto traffic is minimal here and I have been doing this for over 2 years. I like it quiet, and I
know my neighbors do to. Unfortunately, fixing up the place makes noise sometimes, but my
closest neighbors ( Beck and Rick Glewwe) have thanked me for doing so. It definitely is
starting to look better and they appreciate it. I have also met a few neighbors strictly because
they have noticed my progress.
I'm not open to the public but I was told by you the number of horses was a problem so that's
why we are doing this process.
The costs associated with horses is prohibitively expensive for most people but they can be a
great tool for teaching children about responsibility, leadership, communication, as well as
building relationships. My son has autism and that's the main reason I moved here. He does good
around animals and most horse people seem to have good hearts.
Owning horses is a year round operation.
The temporary manure boxes are 8'×4'. Altho I dont have the one that was on the northside of the
arena there anymore. I found it easier to haul the manure/woodchips with the bobcat to the one
south of the haybarn.
The permanent box.....doesnt exist, yet.
Due to the fact that people want the stuff for gardens, mulch, new lawns, ect. I was planning on
making a pile where its denoted on the map for winter. During the summer it's easy to get rid of.
Winter time.....not so much. Ground is frozen, as are the gardens and what not.
Hopefully that's what you were looking for.
I will check my email tomorrow at 930 break to see if I missed something.
Thanks and God bless
Chris
2
10-6-2020: Per Chris Stowe:
20 horses.
4 cows.
20 chickens.
The temporary is 4 feet tall. Holds approx 10 yards I'm guessing. I will construct the permanent
storage storage box within the next couple weeks.
Manure in winter is left to compost.
I currently have 3 outside horse shelters. They are all a little different. Their sizes are
approximately 10x20

Memo
To: Katie Larsen
From: Andy Nelson
Date: October 7, 2020
Re: Environmental Comments on 426 Pine Street-Commercial Stable CUP
Environmental staff has the following comments relating to 426 Pine Street Manure
Management Plan:
Background:
The applicant keeps a number of farm animals on a 25 acre parcel. The current
animal count provided by the owner, is 20 horses, 4 cows and 20 chickens.
Assuming the cows are not fully grown and weigh an average of 500 pounds, the
total existing animal unit count on the property is 22.06 animal units.
The number of farm animals permitted on this site is one animal unit per 2 acres,
which allows for 12.5 animal units on these three parcels. The landowner is applying
for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a commercial stable, and an increase in the
number of allowed animal units to 25, which would allow for up 25 horses if all other
animals are removed. A manure management plan is required to obtain the increase
in animal units with the CUP.
Site
The site is approximately 25 acres in size. Of this approximately 22 acres is covered
by either wetland or floodplain.
Storage
The applicant’s manure management plan proposes to store manure in 1-2
temporary storage bins and a permanent compost bin. The total holding capacity of
a single temporary (8’ x 4’ x4’) bin is 128 cubic.feet. No dimensions were provided
for the permanent compost bin.
Environmental
Page 2
The average 1,000 pound horse produces 56 pounds of manure per day (U of MN
extension). 25 horses may produce 511,000 pounds of manure in a year. The
volume of soiled stall bedding and manure for one horse can be estimated at 2.4
cubic feet/day (Penn State extension). 25 horses would produce approximately
21,900 cubic feet/year.
The existing 8’X4’X4’ box on site is 128 ft3. It would fill up 178 times in a year. Three
such boxes on site would fill up about 60 times each in a year.
Once the temporary bin(s) are filled the applicant is proposing to store the excess
manure in a permanent storage box, spread it on site, or make it available to the
public for private use.
Analysis:
In MN State rule 7020.2005, it is stated that a new manure storage area must not be
constructed within a floodplain. Also, an existing manure storage area located in a
floodplain may not be expanded.
MN State rules state that for manure application, a minimum setback of 300 feet from
protected wetlands is required. A 50 foot non-manured vegetated buffer can be used
in place of the 300 foot setback during non-winter months.
MPCA prohibits manure spreading on floodplains.
U of MN extension guidelines recommend against spreading on pasture with more
than one horse per two acres.
No well location was noted on site plan. Manure storage should be located a
minimum of 100’ from a domestic well.
Recommendation:
There is very limited storage capacity on site, due to setback requirements from both
the protected wetland and floodplain. Feasibility of spreading on site will also be
quite limited for the same reasons. As noted by the applicant’s narrative, disposal is
more difficult during winter months. This leads to the need to provide for up to 6
months of storage on site or other permanent removal solution.
The majority of the manure produced on this site will have to be removed. A more
detailed plan for hauling that volume off site should be required before any expansion
of animals units is considered.

AGENDA ITEM 6D
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Katie Larsen, City Planner
MEETING DATE: November 9, 2020
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 20-131 Denying a Setback
Variance for a Deck at 842 Lois Lane
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration of Resolution No. 20-131 denying a setback
variance for a deck at 842 Lois Lane.
Complete Application Date: September 14, 2020
60-Day Review Deadline: November 13, 2020
Environmental Board Meeting: N/A
Park Board Meeting: N/A
Planning & Zoning Board Meeting: October 14, 2020
City Council Work Session: November 2, 2020
City Council Meeting: November 9, 2020
BACKGROUND
The applicant, Brian A. Rydlund, submitted a Land Use Application for a setback variance for
the purpose of constructing a deck at his property located at 842 Lois Lane. A 2.7 foot variance
to reduce the side yard setback from 5 feet to 2.3 feet is requested.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to reconstruct the existing deck along the east side of the house
(“side deck”) that will connect to a proposed new deck located in the rear yard (“rear deck”).
Per the Certificate of Survey submitted with the application, the existing house is 10.0-10.6 ft
from the east side lot line. The existing side deck is currently 7.7 ft wide and 2.3 ft from the
east lot line. A portion of the new deck would also be 2.3 ft from the east lot line.
Staff notes the Certificate of Survey should be dated by the surveyor.
Zoning and Setback Requirements
2
The house was constructed in 1987. The property was zoned RX, Executive Rural at that time.
Per the 1983 Zoning Ordinance, the side yard setback for accessory structures was 5 ft. City
Zoning Ordinance dating back to 1971 also required a 5 ft side yard setback.
The property is currently zoned R-X, Rural Executive. Decks are considered accessory
structures and subject to accessory building setback requirements. Per Section 1007.080(2)(c)
Setbacks, the required side yard setback for an accessory building (i.e. deck) is five (5) feet.
The variance request would be for 2.7 feet.
The applicant states the existing side deck was constructed by the original property owners
between 1987 and 1991 approximately one (1) foot from the side lot line. The City has no
record of a building permit for the deck. In the late 1990’s, the applicant remodeled the side
deck to its current setback location of 2.3 ft from the east lot line. The City has no record of a
building permit for the remodeled deck either.
Unfortunately, neither the original deck nor remodeled deck was legally constructed because it
did not meet the 5 ft side yard setback. The deck cannot be considered legal non-conforming
and should not be repaired or replaced as is currently located.
Option
The applicant may construct a 5 ft wide deck “walkway” and stair case from the side of the
house to access the rear deck. Staff appreciates the applicant’s desire to keep the existing deck
at its current setback location; however, it was not legally constructed and should not be
continued, replaced or restored. The rear yard has ample space to construct the proposed deck.
Staff also appreciates that the neighbor is not opposed to the proposed setback; unfortunately,
neighbor approval is not a criteria of approving a variance.
Findings of Fact
Resolution No. 20-131 details the findings of fact.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommended denial of the variance.
The Planning & Zoning Board reviewed the variance application on October 14, 2020 and
recommended denial with a 5-0 vote with 2 abstentions.

RESOLUTION NO. 20-131
RESOLUTION DENYING A SETBACK VARIANCE FOR A
DECK AT 842 LOIS LANE
WHEREAS, the City received a land use application for a setback variance for a deck at
842 Lois Lane; and
WHEREAS, the legal description of the property is as follows:
Lot 6, Block 2, Lake View Woodlands, Anoka County, MN; and
WHEREAS, the property is zoned R-X, Rural Executive and allows for single family
dwellings and decks; and
WHEREAS, decks are considered accessory structures and subject to accessory building
setback requirements; and
WHEREAS, per Section 1007.080(2)(c) Setbacks, the required side yard setback for an
accessory building (i.e. deck) is five (5) feet; and
WHEREAS, the property owner wishes to reconstruct an existing illegal non-
conforming deck and is requesting a variance setback of 2.7 ft; and
WHEREAS, the Planning & Zoning Board reviewed the variance application on October
14, 2020 and recommended denial with a 5-0 vote with 2 abstentions.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by The City Council of The City of Lino
Lakes hereby makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
No variance shall be granted unless it meets all the criteria in paragraphs 1. through 7.
below. The City shall make findings regarding compliance with these criteria.
1. The variance shall be in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the
ordinance.
The general purpose and intent of the R-X, Rural Executive District is to provide areas
for high value, rural residences.
The general purpose and intent of the General Provisions section of the zoning ordinance
is to assure compatibility of uses’ to prevent urban blight, deterioration and decay; and
to enhance the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the community.
2
The side yard variance request for a deck is not in harmony with the general purposes
and intent of the ordinances.
2. The variance shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Per the Comprehensive Plan, the property is guided for Low Density Residential land
use. The variance request is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The applicant’s
property is intended for single family dwellings with houses and decks.
3. There shall be practical difficulties in complying with the ordinance. “Practical
difficulties,” as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the
property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the
ordinance. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties.
Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight
for solar energy systems.
There are no practical difficulties in complying with the ordinance. The applicant has
ample space to construct a deck in the rear yard with access along the side yard that
meets the 5 ft setback requirements.
4. The plight of the landowner shall be due to circumstances unique to the property not
created by the landowner.
The plight of the landowner is due to the previous and current property owner not
obtaining building permits for the original deck construction and 1990 remodel. There
are no circumstances unique to the property that prevents compliance with side yard
setback requirement.
5. The variance shall not alter the essential character of the locality.
The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality which is a single family
residential neighborhood with houses and decks.
6. A variance shall not be granted for any use that is not allowed under the ordinance for
property in the zoning district where the subject site is located.
The variance will not be granted for any use that is not allowed under the ordinance for
property in the zoning district. The property is zoned R-X, Rural Executive and houses
and decks are consistent with rural residential uses.
7. In accordance with MN Stat. 462.357, Subp. 6, variances shall be granted for earth
sheltered construction as defined in MN Stat. 216C.06, Subd. 14, when in harmony with
the zoning ordinance.
Not applicable.
