BACKGROUND Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 349.166, organizations are eligible to obtain an exempt permit to conduct a raffle without obtaining a full gambling license and without abiding by all provisions required by licensed organizations if: •the organization conducts lawful gambling on five or less days per year; •the organization does not award more than $50,000 in prizes for lawful gambling in a calendar year; •the organization submits a board-prescribed application and pays a fee of $100 to the board for each gambling occasion, and receives an exempt permit number from the board. If the application is postmarked or received less than 30 days before the gambling occasion, the fee is $150 for that application. The application must include the date and location of the occasion, the types of lawful gambling to be conducted, and the prizes to be awarded; •the organization notifies the local government unit 30 days before the lawful gambling occasion, or 60 days for an occasion held in a city of the first class; •the organization purchases all gambling equipment and supplies from a licensed distributor; and •the organization reports to the board, on a single-page form prescribed by the board, within 30 days of each gambling occasion, the gross receipts, prizes, expenses, expenditures of net profits from the occasion, and the identification of the licensed distributor from whom all gambling 2 equipment was purchased. Further, City Ordinance, Section 611.07 requires that any organization applying for any lawful gambling permit under Minn. Stat. 349.11 through 349.23, must receive approval from City Council. Although this application is for an exempt permit for a one-time event, Council approval is still required. ARCHES meets all requirements to obtain an exempt permit.

ATTACHMENTS None CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM 6A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Andy Nelson, Environmental Coordinator Claire Knopf, Community Development Intern MEETING DATE: October 23, 2023 TOPIC: Consider Ordinance No. 10-23 Amending City Code Section 904.08 Relating to Managed Natural Landscapes VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 ______________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Staff is requesting City Council consideration to amend City Code Chapter 904 to conform with Minn. Statutes § 412.925 regulating managed natural landscapes. BACKGROUND Effective July 1, 2023, Minnesota Statutes, section 412.925, mandates that cities allow for managed natural and native landscaping on all parcels. In response, the City is amending its local code and ordinances to conform with the statute. The statute states the following: Minn. Stat. § 412.925 – NATIVE LANDSCAPES (a)A statutory city or home rule charter city shall allow an owner, authorized agent, or authorized occupant of any privately-owned lands or premises to install and maintain a managed natural landscape. For purposes of this section, the following terms have the meanings given: (1)"managed natural landscape" means a planned, intentional, and maintained planting of native or nonnative grasses, wildflowers, forbs, ferns, shrubs, or trees, including but not limited to rain gardens, meadow vegetation, and ornamental plants. Managed natural landscapes does not include turf-grass lawns left unattended for the purpose of returning to a natural state; (2)"meadow vegetation" means grasses and flowering broad-leaf plants that are native to, or adapted to, the state of Minnesota, and that are commonly found in meadow and prairie plant communities, not including noxious weeds. "Noxious weed" has the meaning given in section 18.77, subdivision 8; (3)"ornamental plants" means grasses, perennials, annuals, and groundcovers purposely planted for aesthetic reasons; (4)"rain garden" means a native plant garden that is designed not only to aesthetically improve properties, but also to reduce the amount of stormwater and accompanying pollutants from entering streams, lakes, and rivers; and (5) "turf-grass lawn" means a lawn composed mostly of grasses commonly used in regularly cut lawns or play areas, including but not limited to bluegrass, fescue, and ryegrass blends, intended to be maintained at a height of no more than eight inches. (b) Managed natural landscapes may include plants and grasses that are in excess of eight inches in height and have gone to seed, but may not include any noxious weeds and must be maintained. (c) Except as part of a managed natural landscape as defined in this section, any weeds or grasses growing upon any lot or parcel of land in a city to a greater height than eight inches or that have gone or are about to go to seed are prohibited. Chapter 904 of the City Code, along with Chapter 1007.043 (Zoning Ordinance) currently establishes requirements for natural prairie restoration areas. The new statute is of broader scope than our current language and the City Attorney has recommended amendment to reference the statutory language. The language within the zoning ordinance will be amended through a separate process. The Environmental Board reviewed the proposed ordinance on August 30, 2023 and recommended approval. The Council approved the 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 10-23 at the October 9th, 2023 City Council meeting. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of Ordinance No. 10-23. ATTACHMENTS 1.

PSP, Public and Semi-Public Street Right-of-Way Parking Lot & Recreation Facilities Setback The new ordinance does not include a street parking lot setback. Staff recommends 15ft which is consistent with the business and industrial zoning districts. The ordinance also does not address recreation facility/athletic field setbacks. Staff recommends 15ft consistent with parking lot setbacks. • Proposed Amendment Section 1007.130 PSP, Public and Semi-Public District. (2) Lot and Setback Requirements. (c) Setbacks. 1. From Street Right-of-Way. a. Local or Minor Collector Street. 50 feet. b. Major Collector or Arterial Street. 50 feet. c. Parking Lot. 15 feet. b.d.

(n)(o) Warehousing and distribution facilities, but not including trucking terminal or mini self-storage facilities. (o)(p) Wholesale businesses/showrooms. General Building and Use Provisions The following general revisions need to be made to better clarify intent of the ordinance. The Planning & Zoning Board recommended omitting the 4/12 roof pitch requirement stating many modern single family homes don’t need to have a sloped roof. This change is reflected below. • Proposed Amendment Section 1007.043 General Building and Use Provisions. (2) Building Type and Construction. (a) Single Family Detached Dwellings. All single family detached dwellings shall meet the following design criteria: 1. All dwellings, including an attached garage, shall have permanent concrete, treated wood foundation, or other foundation anchoring system approved by the Building Official. 8 2. All dwellings, including an attached garage, shall have a minimum width of 24 feet at its narrowest point. Width measurement shall not take into account overhangs or other projections beyond the principal exterior walls. 3. All dwellings shall have a garage that is a minimum of 20 feet in width and has a minimum footprint of 520 square feet. 4. All dwellings, including an attached garage, with a sloped roof shall have a minimum 12 inch roof overhang and enclosed soffit. 5. All dwellings and any attached garage, including an attached garage, excluding porches, shall have a minimum 4/12 roof pitch and with a sloped roof shall be covered with shingles or tiles or a standing seam metal roof. 6. All dwellings, including an attached garage, shall be built in compliance with the Minnesota State Building Code. 7. The exterior walls of all single family dwellings, including an attached garage, shall be similar in appearance to standard wood or masonry residential construction. Any metal siding upon single family residence structureson a dwelling, including an attached garage, shall have a vertical dimension no greater than 12 inches. Sheet metal siding shall not be permitted. (d) (e)(d) Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional. All buildings constructed on land within commercial, industrial, public and semi-public zoning districts, and all institutional buildings (such as public, education, and religious buildings) in residential and rural zoning districts shall conform with the following: 7. Any wall facing a public right-of-way shall not have an uninterrupted length exceeding 100 feet without including at least two of the following: change in plane, change in texture or masonry pattern, two (2) class 1 materials, windows in a manner that is impactful to the design, or an equivalent element that subdivides the wall into human scale proportions. This shall only apply to commercial, public, educational, and religious buildings. 7. 16. Building foundations not exceeding two (2) feet need not comply with the requirements for the primary water wall treatments or materials. Quasi-Public Structures 9 The following sections were accidently deleted from the previous zoning ordinance and should be added back in. There is no change in the language. • Proposed Amendment The Planning & Zoning Board suggested defining quasi-public structure so a new definition has been added to the draft ordinance. Section 1007.043 General Building and Use Provisions. (2) Building Type and Construction. (e) Quasi-Public Structures. 1. No quasi-public structure shall be located within the public right-of-way except as approved by the City Council. Such structure shall include but not be limited to trash containers, bicycle racks, benches, planting boxes, awnings, flag poles, light standards, stairs, stoops, light wells, loading wells, signs and others. 2. Public and quasi-public utility poles and underground services may be permitted within public right-of-way provided that: a. A permanent identification tag or marking is affixed to each structure. b. The City is notified as to the location and date of placement of the structure. c. The City is notified of any change of structure ownership, removal or modification. d. Lease or joint use agreements or arrangements applicable to each utility structure are disclosed. (f) Completion of Exterior Improvements. 1. All exterior improvements of a structure, or portion thereof, to single family dwellings, multiple family dwellings of twelve (12) units or less, or any structure accessory to a residential use shall be completed in accordance with City- approved construction plans within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date the City issued the building permit. 2. All exterior improvements of a structure, or portion thereof, to multiple family dwellings of more than twelve (12) units or any commercial, industrial, office, institutional or non-residential structure shall be completed in accordance with City-approved construction plans within one (1) year after the date the City issued the building permit. 3. In all cases, the compliance deadline shall be upheld unless: a. The process for a temporary Certificate of Occupancy is completed as described in the City Fee Schedule, as amended, which would extend the completion date beyond those listed in paragraphs 1. and 2. above; or 10 b. A written extension is submitted and approved by the Building Official. Such an extension may be granted in the event that a natural disaster or a calamitous event occurs which unavoidably delays the completion of the building project. 4. For building permits issued prior to the effective date of the ordinance amendment establishing the time limits in paragraphs 1. and 2. above (Ordinance No. 01-08), the time period for the limits begins with the effective date of the amendment establishing the time limits. Off-Street Parking The old ordinance requirement for Fast Food parking spaces was fifteen (15) spaces per 1,000 sf of gross floor area. The new ordinance is one (1) space per 50sf of floor area plus one (1) space for each employee. Staff recommends going back to the old ordinance. Applying the new ordinance results in an overabundance of parking spaces than needed. For consistency with other parking requirements, staff recommends changing the requirement based on 1 space per 67 gross sf (1,000/15 = 67). • Proposed Amendment Section 1007.044 Off-Street Parking. (6) Number of Spaces Required. The following minimum number of off-street parking spaces shall be provided and maintained by ownership, easement and/or lease for and during the life of the respective uses hereinafter set forth: Fast Food Restaurant 1 space for each 50 67 square feet of gross floor area., plus 1 space for each employee of the maximum work shift. Native Landscapes Minnesota passed a new law effective July 1st that requires municipalities to allow property owners and occupants to install and maintain managed natural landscapes. This statute needs to be adopted into City ordinances. See attached State Statute 412.925 Native Landscapes language. • Proposed Amendment Section 1007.043(17) Screening, Landscaping, Buffer Yards and Tree Preservation. 11 (h) Sod and Ground Cover. All areas not otherwise improved in compliance with the approved site plans shall have a minimum depth of four (4) inches of topsoil and be sodded including boulevard areas. Exceptions to these criteria may be approved by the Zoning Administrator as follows: 5. 6. Natural Prairie Restoration Areas. Native grasses and wild flowers indigenous to Minnesota, planted and maintained on any occupied lot or parcel of land, setback a minimum of 20 feet from the front lot line and/or side lot line abutting a public street, as part of a garden or landscape treatment. 5. Native Landscapes in compliance with Minnesota Statute 412.925. General Parcel, Lot and Yard Provisions. Section 1007.082 was the proposed FUD, Future Urban Development District that was not adopted in the new ordinance. This reference under Section 1007.042 shall be deleted. • Proposed Amendment Section 1007.042 General Parcel, Lot and Yard Provisions. (2) Unsewered Lots. (a) Except as provided for in City Code Section 1007.042(1)(d), Section 1007.042(2)(b) and , Section 1007.066 and Section 1007.082, the minimum unsewered lot size within any zoning district is 10 acres. Fences The following correction shall be made. • Proposed Amendment Section 1007.043(18) Fences and Retaining Walls. (f) Rural and Residential District Fences. 4. Rural and Residential Fences Height Exceptions. 12 a. A fence for a sport court not exceeding 12 feet in height may be located at least 10 foot from side and rear lot lines. b. Residential and rural boundary line fences not exceeding eight (8) feet in height may be located along a lot line abutting a commercial, industrial, or semi-public use or zoning district. I-35W and I-35E Setbacks The current zoning ordinance establishes Street Right-of-Way setbacks. On a double frontage lot, the street right-of-way setback applies to both the front and rear lot lines. For example, the properties 248-400 Apollo Drive are zoned LI, Light Industrial. The street right-of-way setback from both CSAH 12 (Apollo Drive) and I-35W, both arterial streets, is 50 feet. In practice, a 50 foot front setback has been applied along Apollo Drive and a 15-30 foot rear setback has been applied along I-35W. Technically, the rear setback should be 50 feet. This would unnecessarily encumber the rear yard. Staff is proposing parcels abutting I-35W or I-35E that are zoned industrial have a street right- of-way setback along the interstate of 15 feet which is consistent with the required rear lot line setback. • Proposed Amendment (This is just an example of how the LI, Light Industrial District will read. The final amended ordinance will include the same changes for the GI, General Industrial and BC, Business Campus Districts.) Section 1007.120 LI, Light Industrial District. (2) Lot and Setback Requirements. (c) Setbacks. 1. From Street Right-of-Way. a. Local or Minor Collector Street. 30 feet. b. Collector or Arterial Street. 50 feet. b.c. I-35W or I-35E. 15feet. c.d. Parking Lot. 15 feet. 13 2. Rear Lot Line. a. Principal Building. 15 feet. b. Accessory Building. 10 feet. c. Parking Lot. 5 feet. 3. Side Lot Line. a. Principal Building. 10 feet. b. Accessory Building. 10 feet. c. Parking Lot. 5 feet. 4. From Property Guided by the Comprehensive Plan for Residential Use. 75 feet. (3) Buffer. Where a side or rear lot line in an LI District coincides with an adjacent public road right-of-way or abuts property guided by the comprehensive plan for residential or commercial development, a landscape buffer area shall be provided along such side or rear lot line not less than 40 feet wide and shall contain landscaping, planting, berming, or other effective screening suitable to provide an effective screen in compliance with City Code Section 1007.043(17)(f). Setbacks-Major Collector Streets In all zoning districts, the setback from Street Right-of Way is either from: a. Local or Minor Collector Street. b. Major Collector or Arterial Street. Unfortunately, the word “Major” was accidently left out in some of the zoning districts and will be corrected accordingly. • Proposed Amendment Section 1007.110 NB, Neighborhood Business District. (2) Lot and Setback Requirements. 14 (c) Setbacks. 1. From Street Right-of-Way. a. Local or Minor Collector Street. 30 feet. b. Major Collector or Arterial Street. 40 feet. c. Parking Lot. 15 feet. PUD, Planned Unit Development District The following corrections/additions are needed to the PUD zoning district. • Proposed Amendment Section 1007.131 PUD, Planned Unit Development District. 1.(5) List of PUD, Planned Unit Developments.

BACKGROUND The City Council approved the Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County for the reconstruction of the CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road) and County Road J (Ash Street) intersection in September of 2022. Anoka County retained WSB and Associates to complete the final design for the project. At that time the Council requested that the trail proposed for the west side of Hodgson be extended to Rohavic Lane as part of the project. The trail extension required the acquisition of both temporary construction and permanent easements to complete the improvements. In December of 2022 the Council directed staff to move forward with the acquisition process. WSB, LLC was retained to prepare a Minimum Damage Acquisition Report and negotiate a settlement offer with the property owner. As a result of these discussions the City has reached agreement with the property owner at 298 Rohavic Ln in the amount of $21,500.00 for purchase of the temporary construction easement (1,708 SF), permanent trail, drainage and utility easement (2,205 SF) and damages related to tree removal and screening loss. The award includes $5,225 for fencing to screen the property from road and trail improvements. These items will be completed by owner. The agreement also includes a provision for additional compensation of $2,400 for any tree, within the temp easement area, damaged during construction. Staff is working with the County and WSB to incorporate this requirement into the construction contract. 2 Incorporation of the trail extension into the larger project allows the City to take advantage of the federal funding that the County obtained for the project. Without the easement the proposed improvements will need to be removed from the project. Future extension would not likely include any outside funding assistance. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 23 – 114. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution No. 23-114 2. Easement Exhibit CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 23-114 APPROVING ACQUISITION OF TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION AND PERMANENT TRAIL, DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENTS WHEREAS, the City Council entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County for the reconstruction of the County State Aid Highway 49 (Hodgson Road) and County Road J (Ash Street) intersection, and WHEREAS, the City Council requested the extension of trail from the north property line of the Lyngblomsten development to Rohavic Lane, approximately 230 feet to the north, and WHEREAS, said trail improvements require the acquisition of temporary construction and permanent easements for the making of said improvements. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Lino Lakes, Minnesota that The purchase of a temporary construction easement and a permanent Trail, Drainage and Utility easement over and across the property located at 298 Rohavic Lane is hereby approved in the amount of $21,500.00. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes this 23rd day of October, 2023. ___________________________ Rob Rafferty, Mayor ATTEST: ___________________________ Jolleen Chaika, City Clerk X X X XX
