driveway constructed at 8970 55th Street North is in conformance with the City Driveway
Ordinance. The property owners, Richie and Beth Springborn, have built a compacted reclaimed
asphalt or millings driveway all the way to the City street (55th Street), whereas the City’s
ordinance requires that the portion of the driveway located in the City’s right-of-way be constructed of bitumen or concrete. The applicants ask that the Board of Appeals consider Staff’s interpretation of §93.26 Driveway Standards. More specifically, the applicants are challenging
staff’s interpretation of the definition of “bitumen”.
Staff is recommending that the City Council confirm the staff’s interpretation of §93.26 through the following motion:
“Move to adopt Resolution 2014-06, confirming and upholding staff’s interpretation of the
Driveway Ordinance, thereby denying the appeal.”
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
On September 3, 2013, the City of Lake Elmo issued a building permit for a new single family
home at 8970 55th Street North to Richie and Beth Springborn. On November 21, 2013, the City’s Building Official conducted a final escrow inspection for the project, which is the last step before issuing the Certificate of Occupancy (CO). During the inspection, the City Building
Official, Rick Chase, required a correction to make the portion of the residential driveway in the
public right-of-way bituminous or concrete. As opposed to using bituminous or concrete in the
right-of-way, the applicants constructed the entire driveway up to the improved street with reclaimed millings or asphalt from the TH-36 project. The applicants are appealing the staff’s interpretation of the City’s Driveway Ordinance based on the argument that the reclaimed
asphalt meets the definition of “bitumen”. City staff does not agree with this argument, and
recommends that the Council confirm staff’s interpretation of the City Code.
Prior to December of 2013, when the City adopted new driveway provisions, the City’s previous Driveway Ordinance (Attachment #3) included the following language regarding required
surface materials:
Ҥ93.25 General Requirements Driveway surface. Whenever a driveway is constructed, all that portion of the boulevard
designated as driveway shall be surfaced with a plant-mixed machine laid bituminous
material conforming to standards approved by the City Engineer and in accordance with
plans approved by the City Engineer.” It should be noted that this ordinance was in effect at the time the building permit for the single
family home at 8970 55th Street N. was issued. When the permit was issued, the ordinance called
for “plant-mixed machine laid bituminous material” in the portion of the boulevard (public right-
of-way). Given this language, there is no way to confuse reclaimed or crushed asphalt with plant-mixed bituminous material. The main point is that under the previous driveway provisions,
-- page 2 --
City Council Meeting [Board of Adjustment Hearing - Item 2]
January 21, 2014
which were active when the building permit was issued, the applicants would not have been able
to use reclaimed asphalt or millings as the approved driveway material in the public right-of-way
or boulevard.
In December of 2013, the City adopted a new Driveway Ordinance (Ordinance 08-096 –
Attachment #4) to prepare the community for additional residential development, particularly in
urban districts. As part of the new Driveway Ordinance, the following language was included in
relation to acceptable surface materials:
Ҥ93.26 Driveway Standards
H. Driveway Materials.
1. Urban Districts. All driveways shall be constructed of bitumen, concrete or a durable
material approved by the City Engineer.
2. Rural Districts. Driveways may be constructed of crushed rock or equivalent crushed
material provided that the portion of the driveway within the road right-of-way shall be
constructed of bitumen or concrete when accessing an improved street.”
As part of the new ordinance, the required or acceptable driveway material within the road right-
of-way in rural zoning districts is bitumen or concrete. In seeking to appeal the City staff’s interpretation of the ordinance, the applicants are challenging the definition of bitumen, stating
that reclaimed asphalt or millings meets the definition of bitumen. However, staff disagrees with
this argument. When examining the context of the driveway materials portion of the ordinance,
it is clear that in the rural district, there is a clear delineation between what materials can be used
on the private lot and what materials must be used in the public right-of-way. The ordinance states that “crushed rock or equivalent crushed material” that can be used on the private lot,
whereas the right-of-way must be bitumen or concrete. In staff’s professional judgment,
recycled or reclaimed asphalt or millings is an equivalent crushed material, not bitumen. On the
other hand, bituminous or bitumen is a petroleum based product that is bound and laid at high
temperatures. Crushed or recycled asphalt does not include the petroleum based binder. Regarding the expertise level of City staff, the City’s Building Official, Rick Chase, has both
Bituminous I and Bituminous II MnDOT Certifications. In addition, the City Engineer, Jack
Griffin, is extremely experienced and knowledgeable about bituminous products. In the expertise
of both the Building Official and City Engineer, reclaimed asphalt does not qualify as bitumen.
Finally, with regards to the definition of bitumen not being clear enough in the City Code, it should be noted that City staff drafted the current Driveway Ordinance based upon researching
several other local communities. Staff researched the driveway provisions of eight communities
(Woodbury, Apple Valley, Eagan, Inver Grove Heights, Shoreview, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka
and Cottage Grove). Of the communities that specified bituminous or bitumen as an acceptable
or required driveway material (3 cities – Inver Grove Heights, Apple Valley and Eden Prairie) not one of them specifically defined what constitutes bituminous in their codes. Staff believes
that the reason for this is that what constitutes bitumen or bituminous is a well-known and
established standard. In other words, if the definition of bituminous was less clear cut, other
cities would define the term to establish what method and material is acceptable.
-- page 3 --
City Council Meeting [Board of Adjustment Hearing - Item 2]
January 21, 2014
Finally, it should be noted that the City has established an engineering design standard for
residential driveways. The standard was adopted by the City Council along with the Engineering
Design Standards Manual on February 19, 2013 (Resolution 2013-09). The established driveway
standard calls for bituminous material at a specification consistent with MnDOT 2360. In other words, contrary to the position that the City has not defined what constitutes bitumen, from
staff’s perspective, the City has defined what is acceptable by adopting this standard. It should
also be noted that reclaimed asphalt that is simply compacted does not meet this standard. The
City’s driveway standard from the Engineering Design Standards Manual is found in attachment
#5.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION (SWOT):
Strengths: Confirming the staff’s interpretation of the Driveway Ordinance demonstrates
a commitment to the protection and maintenance of City streets and other infrastructure.
In cases of installing new or improved residential driveways, requiring the public right-of-way to be constructed of bitumen or concrete helps reduce cracking and degradation of
the City streets. In addition, it also helps reduce the trailing or tracking of loose rock or
other material or debris onto City Streets. Minimizing this debris helps maximize safety
and protect storm sewer and other City infrastructure.
Weaknesses: N/A Opportunities: N/A
Threats: If the appeal is granted, the action sets a negative precedent to allow crushed
rock or an equivalent crushed material as an acceptable material in the public right-of-way for new residential driveways in rural zoning districts. This scenario presents a threat to the ongoing maintenance and protection of City streets.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the aforementioned, Staff is recommending that the City Council confirm the staff’s interpretation of §93.26 Driveway Standards through the following motion:
“Move to adopt Resolution 2014-06, confirming and upholding staff’s interpretation of the
Driveway Ordinance, thereby denying the appeal.”

CITY OF LAKE ELMO
WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS
RESOLUTION NO. 2014-06
RESOLUTION STATING FINDINGS OF FACT REALTED TO AN APPEAL OF THE STAFF
INTERPRETATION OF THE CITY’S DRIVEWAY ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY AT 8970 55TH STREET NORTH
WHEREAS, the property owners at 8970 55th Street North, Richie and Beth Springborn,
have constructed a new residential driveway as part of a building permit for a single family home; and
WHEREAS, the City staff determined that the constructed driveway was not compliant
with Section 93.26 of the City Code for the following reasons:
1) The Driveway Ordinance requires that any portion of a driveway in the public right-of-way accessing an improved street must be constructed of bitumen or concrete.
2) 55th Street is an improved street, requiring that any new or improved driveway
accessing the street be constructed of bitumen or concrete in the area of the public
right-of-way.
3) The portion of the applicants’ driveway in the public right-of-way is constructed of reclaimed asphalt or millings, which does not meet the City’s standard for bitumen
or concrete.
WHEREAS, the applicants submitted an appeal to the Board of Adjustments and Appeals regarding the staff’s interpretation of the Driveway Ordinance and the definition of bitumen, and request that the Board find that the requirement to install bound bitumen or concrete in the public
right-of-way be waived; and
WHEREAS, on January 21, 2014, the Board heard the applicants and the City’s staff and counsel and considered the facts of this case; and
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Appeals and Adjustments of the City of Lake Elmo makes the
following findings related to the appeal by Richie and Beth Springborn of City staff’s interpretation
of the Driveway Ordinance in connection to the construction of a new residential driveway at 8970 55th Street North:
Resolution 2014-06
2
FINDINGS
1) That the City requires the portion of the right-of-way for all residential driveways accessing
improved streets to be constructed of bitumen or concrete for the purpose of protecting the integrity of the street and ensuring the maximum life of the asset.
2) That the City strives to reduce the occurrence of trailing rock or other loose material onto
improved City streets for the purpose of keeping the street clear of debris to maximize safety
and minimize potential damage to storm sewer and other City infrastructure.
3) That the City Council has adopted and established an engineering design standard for residential driveways that calls for a bituminous specification of MnDOT 2360 TYPE SP, a
hot, plant-mixed, machine laid and bounded bituminous product.
4) That the material used by the applicants to construct the portion of the residential driveway
in the public right-of-way, reclaimed compacted asphalt or millings, is not consistent with
the City’s engineering standard or definition of bitumen.
CONCLUSIONS AND DECISION
Based on the foregoing, the City Council confirms and upholds City staff’s interpretation of the
City Code, and thereby denies the application of appeal. Passed and duly adopted this 21st day of January, 2014 by the City Council of the City of Lake
Elmo, Minnesota.
