LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 21, 2008
REGULAR AGENDA:
Consider approval of a conservation easement to the Minnesota Land Trust for Sunfish
Lake Park and authorize the Park Commission to develop a park concept plan for Area 2
of Sunfish Lake Park.
Project Assistant Carol Kriegler reported that the park commission was requesting the
City Council approve 1) a conservation easement (256 acres) to the Minnesota Land
Trust for Sunfish Lake Park including that expenditure of $10,000 to the Land 'Trust for
this transaction. The intent of the conservation easement over Sunfish Lake Park is to
ensure its permanency as a natural area to be enjoyed by citizens into perpetuity by
preserving and protecting it through an easement to the Land Trust.
David Steele, Parks Commission Chair, explained the commission has been working on
this since 2006 and considers its work on this conservation easement to be some of the
most important work the commission has done. He said the commission hasn't worked
out all of the specifics of their plan for the park but expects to have them ready for
council approval by fall of 2009,
Sarah Strommen, central region conservation director with the Minnesota Land Trust,
said Lake Elmo is adhering with the feel of the rural character of its community by
approving the conservation easement. The Land Trust wants to provide opportunities for
low impact recreation and nature observation in contrast to some of the more active
recreation that other parks provide.
Park cornmission member Rolf Larson, 11720 Little Bluestem Ct. and Jim Blackford,
9765 451I1St. N., spoke in support of adopting the conservation easement.
The city attorney and Minnesota Land Trust attorney are authorized to edit the easement
document for grammar, miscellaneous corrections and incidental language changes.
MOTION; Council Member Johnson moved to approve Resolution No, 08-048,
approving a conservation easement with the Minnesota Land Trust for Sunfish Lake Park
with latitude for incidental attorney edits and the expenditure of $10,000 from the park
fund to the ,Minnesota Land Trust fbr its execution. Council Member Smith seconded the
motion. The motion passed unanimously.

MOTION
ITEM: Consider Amendments to the Accessory Buildings Section ofthe Zoning
Ordinance: Ordinance No. 08-010
SUBMITTED BY: Kyle Klatt, Planning Director
REVIEWED BY:
Planning Commission
Susan Hoyt City Administrator
KnUiK8obcek.City Planner
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED:
The City Council iabeing asked b)consider amendments hJthe accessory building provisionspfthe
zoning ordinance. These changes represent minor modifications to specific sections of the ordinance and
have been proposed: 1\hzimprove the consistency between various sections nfthe current code and 2\
to clarify the intent and interpretation of various sections of the code dealing with accessory uses. The
proposed amendments donot propose am jordeparturehnmtheourRgntprdinance and are intended
primarily to clean up portions of the code that have been confusing or difficult toadminister inthe past,
The initial basis for the proposed amendments was the identification of discrepancies between a building
department setback handout and the zoning ordinance. Aspart of the regular review ofbuilding permits,
ahsff also found that the requirements for accessory buildings were either difficult tofind oFinconsistent
between various portion ofthe code. The proposed amendments should help clarify and simplify the
review ofbuilding po[nnita, especially for accessory buildings. The proposed ordinance was reviewed
during the course ofseveral Planning Commission meetings this past summer, and was recommended
for approval.
The regulations for accessory buildings may be found in two distinct sections ofthe Zoning Ordinance:
within the development standards for each zoning district and as part of the designandperfonnanca
standards that apply toall districts. The sections that would beimpacted bythe proposed changes
include Sections 154.030through 154.068and Sections 154.092and 154.083.
REVIEW OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS:
The proposed changes can besummarized asfollows:
w The RE District provisions (Section 154,058) will be amended to add accessory building setbacks to
the district table. This table will now include the front, sidg, street side, rear, and arterial street
setbacks for accessory building aawell aoprincipal buildings. Since these setbacks were not
previously identified elsewhere inthe code, the Planning Commission recommended that they follow
the OPdistrict requirements with the exception Vfthe front yard setback (set ot1OOfeet bzbe
consistent with the front yard setback for principal ntructunso).
• Language in all zoning districts will be amended toclearly state whether o[not the dimensional
requirements apply to pr(noipa|, accessory buildings, or both. Each zoning district table will include
separate headings labeled "Principal Building Setbacks" and "Accessory Building Setbacks". At
present, the code either uses these terms interchangeably or just uses ''Building Setbacks".
There are currently two definitions that describe how tomeasure the height ufbui|dings:~Heightof
Building" and "Building Height". The proposed ordinance eliminates one ofthese terms and adds a
diagram to provide additional clarity concerning the interpretation of this measurement.
The reference to roof height in Section 154.092, Subd. (A,2) will be removed. With this change, all
accessory building heights will be calculated in the same manner as principal buildings. Specifica|!y,
the definition noted above allows the averaging ofthe grade around the building and the averaging of
the height between the highest ridge and eaysline todetermine the two points used hacalculate
height.
The accessory building height in all districts (except for agricultural buildings) will be amended to 18
feet (from either 14feet or2Ohaot). This figure isrecommended aoobalance between the previous
roof height requirement of2O feet and the averaging that is allowed for mansard, gob|e, hip, and
Qannbna| style roofs. The current requirement varies from district to district and there is no apparent
reason for these discrepancies,
The definition for atool shed has been revised todelete astatement related toroof height. These
types ofstructures will still have aseparate height requirement that }nlower than other buildings, and
in this case, will be reduced from 12 feet to 10 feet (to account for the averaging as noted above).
Accessory buildings in the Open Space Preservation District are currently allowed to be built to a
higher height than in other districts; this provision will be amended to reflect common height aon}3s
all residential zoning districts, The current OPdistrict height limit is25feet and would bechanged tV
18feet under the proposed Ordinance. This change also reflects the definition change noted above,
The requirements for maximum building height and door height will be included in the residential
district tables only. The requirements for accessory buildings in industrial and business districts will
therefore match the requirements for principal building in these districts. There are references tothe
business and industrial district exemptions that can beeliminated from the current ordinance because
of these changes.
All language pertaining to size limits for the parking of passenger automobiles (found in Section
154,092 8uhd.D)will bedeleted. Rather then specifying aspecific size limit pf1.OD0square feet,
the proposed amendments would limit the size ofattached and detached garages honomore than the
footprint Vfthe principal structure. This change will help end confusion regarding space marked on
building plans aastorage, workshop, qrmiscellaneous ueeage.
Clarification will be added tospecify that building footprint will be used tocalculate the size
requirements for mnaccessory building (not gross floor grea). This revision also provides for a
blanket statement across all districts that an accessory building cannot exceed the size of principal
structure. The current maximum size allowed for accessory buildings will not change and previously
the size of the principal building was only relevant for parcels larger than 20,000 square feet.
Section 154.092 Gubd. F and G will be amended to clarify that accessory buildings cannot exceed the
height ofthe principal building in any zoning district with the exception of agricultural tgnn buildings
and the exceptions hoheight listed elsewhere /nthe City Code. This change does not alter the intent
of the current Ordinance.
The table found in Section 154.093 has been updated to clarify the accessory building requirements
for the smallest lot sizes in R'1 RED, and OP districts and to remove existing language that states
the size ofaccessory buildings cannot exceed mprincipal structure. The revised statement |nSection
154.O02.Subd,Owill now cover this requirement. The Planning Commission could find noreason for
ocut-off nf5,OOOsquare feet for the smaller lots inthis table, and with the proposed change, all lots
less than one acre insize would begrouped together.
Aprovision will be added to Section 154,092 that reads as follows: "The footprint of an attached
garage shall not be larger than the footprint ofthe living area within the principal building. All garage
space located under a living area or other garage space will not count towards the total attached
garage area a|(ovved"Although this language does not place set limit unthe total area that could ba
used for the parking of cars, the City'o building oVde, setback requirements, impervious nnvevoQe
2
ordinance, driveway standards, and other similar provisions with the code provide additional
regulations that will limit the practicability of building on garage.
The amendments should help simplify the review process for new accessory buildings by standardizing
the organization of information and the consistency between each district.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Of the proposed amendments, the changes to regulations concerning the parking of passenger
automobiles represent the most significant nlodifioedongfrornthepneviousDrdinanoe. Under the current
code, space devoted to the parking of automobiles cannot exceed 1.000 square feet, and this limit applies
bzboth detached and attached garages. |npractice, this limitation has been very difficult tVadminister
and enforce because the total size allowed for both accessory buildings in all districts exceeds this
amount. As part ofits review, the Planning Commission determined that the use ofspace within an
accessory building was not eeimportant aothe total size and height allowed, The Planning
Commission's recommendation; therefore, igthat the total size ofall accessory buildings beregulated sn
that they cannot exceed the size of the principal building on a lot (both for attached and detached
structures). Under the proposed ordinance, the size ofaccessory buildings would still beregulated by
district and would never be allowed to exceed the size of a principal building.
All other changes are intended to provide consistency and clarity throughout the code, in some instances
incorporating revised standards, improved definitions, or updated tables to accomplish this objective.
PLANNING CDK8K4|SG(ON
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed ordinance amendments over the course of several
meetings earlier this sunmnler, and conducted e public hearing on this matter on July 14 2008. There
were no public comments received and the Commission unanimously recommended approval of the
Ordinance amendments aedocument inthe attached Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approved the proposed amendments to the
accessory building provisions ofthe Zoning Ordinance.
SUGGESTED MOTION FOR CONSIDERATION:

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the city council of the city of Lake Elmo,
that the city administrator shall cause the following summary of Ordinance No. 08-010 to be
published in the official newspaper in lieu of the entire ordinance:
Public Notice
The City Council of the city of Lake Elmo has adopted Ordinance No. 08-010. The ordinance
incorporates the following changes:
• The RE — Residential Estate District provisions (Section 154.058) are amended to add
accessory building setbacks to the district table. This table now includes the front, side,
street side, rear, and arterial street setbacks for accessory buildings as well as principal
buildings, and follows the OP district requirements with the exception of the minimum front
yard setback. The front yard setback for accessory building in an RE zoning district is set at
100 feet to be consistent with the front yard setback for principal structures in this district.
• The tables describing the minimum requirements for certain districts are amended to clearly
state whether or not the dimensional requirements apply to principal structures, accessory
buildings, or both. Each zoning district table includes separate headings labeled "Principal
Building Setbacks" and "Accessory Building Setbacks".
One of two conflicting definitions for "Building Height" is eliminated and a table added to
clarify the interpretation of this measurement.
The reference to roof height in Section 154.092, Subd. (A,2) is removed. With this change,
all accessory building heights will be calculated in the same manner as principal buildings.
Specifically, the definition noted above allows the averaging of the grade around the
building and the averaging of the height between the highest ridge and eave line to
determine the two points used to calculate height.
The accessory building height in all districts, except for agricultural buildings, is amended to
18 feet (from either 14 feet or 20 feet). This figure serves as a balance between the previous
roof height requirement of 20 feet and the averaging that is allowed for mansard, gable, hip,
and gambrel style roofs.
The definition for a tool shed is revised to delete a reference to roof height. These types of
structures will still have a separate height requirement that is lower than other buildings, and
in this case, will be reduced from 12 feet to 10 feet to comply with the revised definition for
building height.
Accessory buildings in the Open Space Preservation District are currently allowed to be
built to a higher height than in other districts; this provision is amended to reflect a common
height across all residential zoning districts. The current OP district height limit is 25 feet
and is lowered to 18 feet. This change also reflects the revised definition for building
height.
The requirements for maximum building height and door height are deleted from all
sections except the residential district tables. With this change, the requirements for
accessory buildings in industrial and business districts will therefore match the requirements
for principal building in these districts. 'There are references to the business and industrial
district exemptions that are eliminated from the current ordinance with these changes.
The maximum size of the area devoted to the parking of passenger automobiles (found in
Section 154.092, Subd. D) is eliminated. Rather then specifying a specific size limit of
1,000 square feet, the ordinance will limit the size of attached and detached garages to no
more than the footprint of the principal structure.
The ordinance clarifies that building footprint is used to calculate the size requirements for
an accessory building (not gross floor area). This revision also provides for a blanket
statement across all districts that an accessory building cannot exceed the size of a principal
structure. The current maximum size allowed for accessory buildings is not being amended.
Section 154.092 Subd. F and G are amended to clarify that accessory buildings cannot
exceed the height of the principal building in any zoning district with the exception of
agricultural farm buildings and the exceptions to height listed elsewhere in the City Code.
The table found in Section 154.093 is updated to simplify the accessory building
requirements for the smallest lot sizes in R-1, RED, and OP districts and to remove existing
language that states the size of accessory buildings cannot exceed a principal structure. The
revised statement in Section 154.092, Subd. D will now cover this requirement.
A provision is added to Section 154.092 that reads as follows: "The footprint of an attached
garage shall not be larger than the footprint of the living area within the principal building.
All garage space located under a living area or other garage space will not count towards the
total attached garage area allowed". Although this language does not place set limit on the
total area that could be used for the parking of cars, the City's building code, setback
requirements, impervious coverage ordinance, driveway standards, and other similar
provisions with the code provide additional regulations that will limit the size of a garage.
The full text of Ordinance No. 08-010 is available for inspection at Lake Elmo city hall during
regular business hours.
