CITY OF LINO LAKES
RESOLUTION NO. 04-17
RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
FOR A CHURCH IN A RURAL ZONING DISTRICT
FOR EAGLE BROOK CHURCH,
AND
APPROVING A PRELIMINARY PLAT
FOR EAGLE BROOK ADDITION
WHEREAS, the City Council makes the following findings:
1. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet was prepared for the project in 2002, prior
to the formal submittal of an application. On May 13, 2003, the City Council
approved Resolution 03 -44 finding that there will be no significant environmental
effects from the project and making a negative declaration regarding the need for an
Environmental Impact Statement.
2. In October 2003 the City received an application for a conditional use permit to allow
the construction of Eagle Brook Church. An application for a preliminary plat
approval followed in November 2003.
3. The legal description of the property is: (see ATTACHMENT A)
4. The subject property currently is zoned Rural.
5. A church is a conditional use in the Rural zone as listed in the zoning ordinance.
6. The Planning & Zoning Board opened a public hearing on the conditional use permit
application at their meeting on November 12, 2003. The Board continued the
hearing. The Board opened a public hearing on the preliminary plat application on
December 10, 2003, and continued the combined public hearing to the January
meeting. At the January 14, 2004 meeting, the Board concluded and closed the
combined public hearing and recommend approval of the conditional use permit and
preliminary plat with conditions.
7. Updated traffic analyses by SRF were received by the City on February 2, February
23, March 5, and March 15 of 2004.
8. The traffic analysis concluded that a vehicle queue on the northbound I -35E exit ramp
to Main St. (CSAH 14) would not stack into the travel lane of I -35E.
• 9. The zoning ordinance lists general criteria for conditional use permits in Section 2,
Subdivision 2.7:
a. The proposed development application has been found to be consistent with the
policies and recommendations of the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan including:
Land Use Plan, Transportation Plan, Utility (Sewer and Water) Plans, Local
Water Management Plan, Capital Improvement Plan, Policy Plan, Natural
Environment Plan. While there are no specific statements or policies in these
plans with which the proposed project clearly conflicts, the safety of the public is
an underlying concern. Review of the project does not reveal a clear danger to
public safety.
b. The proposed development application is compatible with present and future land
uses of the area. The site is guided for single family sewered development. This
does not exclude churches, which typically are in single family zones. The
majority of the site will remain as undeveloped open space (only23% impervious
surface). The lakeshore area will be protected and managed to provide a foraging
area for birds in the heron rookery.
c. The proposed development application conforms to performance standards herein
and other applicable City Codes. With the conditions of approval, performance
standards are met.
d. Traffic generated by a proposed development application must be within the
capabilities of the City when specific levels of service are observed. However,
the City does not have jurisdiction over neighboring municipalities. With the
conditions of approval, including turn lane improvements, the roads will have
structural capacity to accommodate traffic. No City improvements are needed.
The LOS requirements do not apply to the I -35W /Lake Drive or I- 35E/Main St.
interchanges.
e. The proposed development shall be served with adequate and safe water supply.
f. The proposed development shall be served with an adequate and safe sanitary
sewer system. The proposed new building would have its own well and onsite
wastewater treatment system. The church will be required to connect to
municipal sanitary sewer and water within two years of service availability.
The proposed development shall not result in the premature expenditures of City
funds on capital improvements necessary to accommodate the proposed
development. There will be no city capital expenditures for this project.
h. The proposed development will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons,
property, or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise,
smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. The parking lot will be lit. The lighting will be
comply with city requirements and can be turned off after specified times. The
g.
- 6 5 -
Resolution 04 -17, page 2
• project will generate traffic. The traffic impacts were the subject of extensive
analysis and there is no clear public safety danger.
i. The proposed development will not result in the destruction, loss, or damage of a
natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. The Environmental
Assessment Worksheet review process concluded that the project would have no
significant environmental impacts.
10. As listed in Section 5, Subd. 1.G.8. of the zoning ordinance, churches are allowed as
conditional uses in the Rural zone provided that: a. Side yard setbacks shall not be
less than fifty (50) feet; b. Adequate screening from abutting residential uses and
landscaping is provided; and c. Adequate off - street parking and access is and parking
is adequately screened and landscaped. The project complies with the required
setbacks. The plans include adequate off - street parking and access. The landscaping
plan includes significant screening.
11. The maximum building height in the Rural zone is 35', though Sec. 3, Subd. 4.C.
allows that church spires may go up to 60' and that building heights in excess of these
may be allowed through a conditional use permit provided that:
a. Demonstrated need is established for the increase in height and said increase will
not violate the intent and character of the zoning district in which the structure is
located.
• Contemporary churches are commonly large, tall buildings. The large
worship space requires a tall structure. The site is large and the structure
will be set back significant distances from property lines.
b. The site is capable of accommodating the increased structure size.
• At 82 acres, the church lot can accommodate the additional building
height.
c. The potential increased intensity and size of use does not cause an increase in
traffic volumes beyond the capacity of the surrounding streets.
• The additional 14' of building height does not increase traffic volume.
d. Public utilities and services are adequate.
