ITEM #: 13
AGENDA ITEM: Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment to Rural Single Family Land Use
Designation
SUBMITTED BY: Stephen Wensman, Planning Director
THROUGH: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Emily Becker, City Planner
BACKGROUND:
On April 19, 2016, the Lake Elmo City Council approved a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment to the
City’s Wastewater Facilities Plan by adding three properties to the Village MUSA. The Metropolitan
Council, upon reviewing the amendment, requested that the Rural Single Family land use designation be
amended to be in compliance with areas guided for sewer. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan
designation is defined as being served by private on-site well and septic systems. Staff originally
proposed an amendment to the current Rural Single Family land use designation to allow for sewer in a
MUSA. After the public hearing held on June 13, 2016, and prior to the 6/21/16 City Council meeting, it
was suggested that it might be better to create a new land use category similar to the Rural Single Family
category, but for areas within the MUSA that will remain served by private on-site septic systems except
where the City Council deems connection to municipal sanitary sewer practical. This proposed
amendment will also re-guide all properties currently guided for Rural Single Family within a MUSA
area to Rural Single Family – Sewered. These proposed amendments will have no impact on current or
future density. While amending the category descriptions, Staff proposes to fix the incorrect reference to
corresponding zoning districts. These corresponding districts are no longer R1 and R2, but rather RS –
Rural Single Family. The two areas proposed to be reguided to Rural Single Family-Sewered are the
MUSA areas in the Old Village and in the Tri-Lakes.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL:
The Council is respectfully being asked to consider a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment:
to correct the reference to corresponding zoning districts in the existing Rural Single Family land
use category description; and
to create a new Rural Single Family – Sewered land use category that will allow municipal
sanitary sewer where deemed practical by the City Council in MUSA areas; and
to guide the properties currently guided for Rural Single Family within a MUSA area to Rural
Single Family – Sewered.

PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
The current Rural Single Family planned land use category description reads:
RURAL SINGLE FAMILY – This category defines a large portion of the City that was
historically platted for conventional subdivision prior to 2005, but has been and will continue to
be serviced by private on-site well and septic systems. Limited locations within this classification
are allowed to have two-family dwellings based on zoning. [Corresponding Zoning District(s): R-
1, R-2]
The category as defined is served by private on-site well and septic systems. In addition, the description
references zoning districts that are no longer in existence. The amended land use description will
reference the RS – Rural Single Family as the corresponding zoning district (deleted text is crossed out
and inserted text is underlined):
RURAL SINGLE FAMILY – This category defines a large portion of the City that was
historically platted for conventional subdivision prior to 2005, but has been and will continue to
be serviced by private on-site well and septic systems. Limited locations within this classification
are allowed to have two-family dwellings based on zoning. [Corresponding Zoning District(s): R-
1, R-2 RS – Rural Single Family].
The proposed new land use category, Rural Single Family – Sewered, will allow on-site well and septic
systems, unless the City Council considers connection to the sanitary sewer where practical. As amended
above, the corresponding zoning district is RS - Rural Single Family. The proposed Rural Single Family-
Sewered land use category is described as (inserted text is underlined):
RURAL SINGLE FAMILY- SEWERED – This category defines a portion of the City that was
historically platted for conventional subdivision prior to 2005 that has historically been serviced
by private on-site well and septic systems, located within a MUSA area, and may continue to be
serviced by private on-site well and septic systems unless the City Council deems connection to
the sanitary sewer system practical. Limited locations within this classification are allowed to
have two-family dwellings based on zoning. [Corresponding Zoning District(s): RS – Rural
Single Family].
The areas currently guided as Rural Single Family in the Old Village MUSA and the Tri-Lakes MUSA
are proposed to be reguided to Rural Single Family – Sewered. Maps depicting the affected properties
have been attached to this report.
This proposed amendment has been reviewed by the Metropolitan Council Staff and will require formal
Metropolitan Council approval.
PUBLIC HEARING:
A public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment was held on June 13, 2016. Nobody from
the public spoke for or against the amendment. During the Planning Commission discussion,
Commissioner Dunn opposed the amendment, stating that residents should have a choice whether or not
to connect to municipal sanitary sewer. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the
Amendment.
FISCAL IMPACT:

AGENDA ITEM: 4D – PUBLIC HEARING
CASE # 2016-19
ITEM: Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment to Rural Single Family Land Use
Designation
SUBMITTED BY: Stephen Wensman, Planning Director
REVIEWED BY: Emily Becker, City Planner
Lisa Barajas, Metropolitan Council
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED:
The Planning Commission is requested to review a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment to bring
the planned official land use plan category, Rural Single Family, into compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan’s Wastewater Facilities Plan as recently amended. Staff is recommending the
Planning Commission recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: City of Lake Elmo
Location: Areas guided as Rural Single Family
Request: A Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment to bring the planned official land use
plan category, Rural Single Family, into compliance with the Comprehensive
Plan’s Wastewater Facilities Plan as recently amended.
History: On 4/19/16, the City Council approved an amendment to the Village MUSA to
add three properties. The Metropolitan Council requested that the Rural Single
Family land use designation be amended to be in compliance with areas guided
for sewer.
REQUEST DETAILS:
The Lake Elmo City Council, on April 19, 2016, approved a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment
to the City’s Wastewater Facilities Plan by adding three properties to the Village MUSA. The
Metropolitan Council, upon reviewing the amendment, requested that the Rural Single Family land
use designation be amended to be in compliance with areas guided for sewer. Presently, there are two
areas where properties guided for Rural Single Family are within a MUSA area; the Old Village and
in the Tri-Lakes area near Oakdale.
Planning Commission Meeting June 13, 2016 Public Hearing Item 4d-Action Item
2
The current Rural Single Family planned land use category reads:
RURAL SINGLE FAMILY – This category defines a large portion of the City that was
historically platted for conventional subdivision prior to 2005, but has been and will continue to
be serviced by private on-site well and septic systems. Limited locations within this classification
are allowed to have two-family dwellings based on zoning. [Corresponding Zoning District(s): R-
1, R-2]
The category as defined is served by private on-site well and septic systems. In addition, the
definition references zoning districts that are no longer in existence. The corresponding zoning
district is RS - Rural Single Family. The proposed definition will allow on-site well and septic
systems, unless the City Council considers connection to the sanitary sewer practicable. The
corresponding zoning district is RS - Rural Single Family. The proposed Rural Single Family
planned land use category reads (inserted text is underlined):
RURAL SINGLE FAMILY – This category defines a large portion of the City that was historically
platted for conventional subdivision prior to 2005, but has been and will continue to be serviced
by private on-site well and septic systems unless within a Metropolitan Urban Service Area
(MUSA). If within a MUSA, the City Council may consider connection to the sanitary sewer
system where practical. Limited locations within this classification are allowed to have two-
family dwellings based on zoning. [Corresponding Zoning District(s): RS – Rural Single Family]
ANALYSIS:
The RS-Zoning District as defined in City Code Section 154.400, D. reads:
RS Rural Single Family District. The RS District is established for lands that have
already been platted as conventional residential subdivisions prior to the 2005 adoption of
the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. This district provides an environment of
predominantly single-family detached dwellings on moderately sized lots in areas that
have typically not been provided with public sanitary sewer services.
Staff believes the definition of RS - Rural Single Family suggests on-site septic systems, but does not
preclude them from connecting to public sewer. No change to the RS Rural Single Family definition
is needed and the proposed Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment will bring the Land Use Plan in
compliance with the Wastewater Facilities Plan without changing existing densities, setbacks, etc.
DRAFT FINDINGS:
The City Code does not require specific findings for comprehensive plan amendments, however,
Staff is suggesting the following findings in support of the amendment:
1. The comprehensive plan text amendment will bring the Lake Elmo Comprehensive
Land Use Plan into conformity with the Comprehensive Wastewater Facilities Plan.
2. The comprehensive plan text amendment will not affect underlying density or zoning
code regulations.

3. The Metropolitan Council has administratively reviewed the amendment, has no
objection, and had waived adjacent jurisdictional review.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan
Text Amendment with the following motion:
“Move to recommend the City Council approve the comprehensive plan text amendment to amend
the planned land use category in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan to read:
RURAL SINGLE FAMILY – This category defines a large portion of the City that was historically
platted for conventional subdivision prior to 2005, but has been and will continue to be serviced
by private on-site well and septic systems unless within a Metropolitan Urban Service Area
(MUSA). If within a MUSA, the City Council may consider connection to the sanitary sewer
system where practical. Limited locations within this classification are allowed to have two-
family dwellings based on zoning. [Corresponding Zoning District(s): RS – Rural Single Family]

Public Hearing – Easement Vacation 8574 Eagle Point circle
Becker started her presentation regarding the easements related to Auto Owners water
mains and hydrants. The city moved the location of the water mains and hydrants, so
new easements were recorded. Auto Owners is requesting the old easments be
vacated.
Public hearing opened at 7:07 pm

Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 6-13-16
Public Hearing – Zoning Text Amendment – To amend the fencing regulations to allow
administrative approval of encroachment agreements.
Becker stated that the current code the way it is written requires any easement
encroachment agreement be approved by the City Council. This change would allow for
those agreements to be approved administratively by staff. The current process is time
consuming for staff as well as the resident and delays the issuing of the permit. The fee
for this agreement is $150.00, making a fence permit $225.00. In the future, we might
be able to reduce the fee with the reduced staff time.
Dunn is wondering why this was added in 2011 and how often this happens. Becker
stated that it has happened quite a bit since she has been here. The new developments
all have the utility easements located on the properties.
Larson asked what happens if there is conflicting rules between the City and the HOA.
Becker stated that this change doesn’t in effect change any of the rules other than who
is allowed to make the approval. Wensman stated that the City does not regulate HOA
covenants between property owners.
Public hearing opened at 7:20 pm
No one spoke and there was no written comments received.
Public hearing closed at 7:21 pm
M/S/: Fields/Dunn, would like to add a sentence at the end of the suggested motion to
read that the fee be reduced to $50 when the city Council considers the fee schedule.
M/S/P: Williams/Dunn, would like to make an amendment to the motion that the fee
not be specified, but only that it be reduced. Vote: 6-0, motion carried unanimously.
Oringinal motion as amended to add “that the fee be reduced when the City Council
considers the fee schedule”, Vote: 6-0, motion carried unanimously.
M/S/P: Dodson/Griffin, move to recommend approval of an ordinance to amend
Chapter 154: Zoning Code; Section 205: Fencing Regulation; Subp. (D) (6) to allow
approval of a fence easement encroachment agreement by the Planning Director or
his/her designee after review and approval and furthermore recommends that the fee
be reduced when the City Council considers the fee schedule, Vote: 6-0, motion carried
unanimously.

Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 6-13-16
Public Hearing – Zoning Text Amendment – To amend the accessory Structure
Regulations
Becker stated that staff is bringing forward 3 suggested changes to the accessory
structure ordinance. The first is to exempt fish houses to the requirement that a
primary structure not be required prior to a fish house being located on the lot. The
second is removing the portion of the code that allows an accessory structure to be
located closer to the front lot line by resolution. Staff would like this removed because
it is essentially granting a variance without the requirement to go through the variance
process. The third change is to change the size of a tool shed from a maximum of 160
square feet to 200 square feet and move that to the exempted section with one being
allowed on a residential lot.
Dodson is wondering why a fishhouse would be any different than something like a
camper trailer. Wensman stated that the concern was that there would be storage on
vacant lots if there are not specific standards.
Williams was wondering if the tool shed size is calculated into the overall size of
accessory structure. Becker stated that no it would not be included for size or number.
Dodson thinks it might be beneficial to have the 120 square feet in the definition.
Becker stated that there are fish houses that are larger. The size limit only applies if
there is no primary structure.
Public hearing opened at 7:47 pm
No one spoke and there was no written comments received.
Public hearing closed at 7:48 pm
Williams is not in favor of exempting the tool shed from size and number in all districts
and thinks it should adhere to the limitations of the district. Wensman stated that if
that is the direction the Planning Commission wants to go, there should be some
language added in the old “F” and would specify one.
M/S/P: Williams/Fields, move to change the wording of the definition for storage or tool
sheds to be: Storage or Tool sheds: One storage or tool shed as defined in this section
may be placed on any lot in addition to the permited number of accessory buildings,
provided it complies with the maximum area requirements of the zoning district,
providing a principal structure exists on the lot. Vote: 6-0, motion carried unanimously.
Williams is wondering about separate lots of record owned by the person who lives next
door. This might open up the door for someone to have a fishhouse on both lots.
4
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 6-13-16
Becker stated as it is written, that could happen. Williams is uncomfortable with this
possibility because it could create a lot of clutter for the neighbors.
Dodson thinks that this seems like a really small problem and that there is n ot a lot of
lots this would pertain to. Dodson wants the 3 proposals to be separate motions.
Williams would like to separate out the fishhouse portion and know how many parcels
this would apply to.
M/S/P:Dodson/Williams, Move to recommend approval of Ordinance 08- the exception
to 154.406, subd D, and the definition of “storage or tool shed” as amended, Vote: 6-0,
motion carried unanimously.
Becker stated that there is roughly 50 parcels that are adjacent to the lake and could
potentially put a fishhouse on the lot without a primary structure. Fields is comfortable
with the language written as this is not a permanent structure.
M/S/P:Williams/Dodson, move to recommend the following finding of fact that there is
some concern that if every one of these lots had a fishhouse, it may lead to complaints
by the neighbors. Vote: 6-0, motion carried unanimously.
M/S/P: Dunn/Griffin, Move to recommend approval of the accessory structure
ordinance as it pertains to fishhouses as amended, Vote: 6-0, motion carried
unanimously.
Public Hearing – Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment to allow connection to
sanitary sewer in Rural Single Family zoning where practical.
Wensman stated that the Met Council suggested that we amend the definition of the
rural single family definition in the Comprehensive Plan so that it would allow
connections to sanitary sewer where reasonable.
Dodson would like it to also read to municipal water where practical. Wensman stated
that we are really just talking about areas in the MUSA and the water system extends
outside the MUSA.
Williams is wondering about the term practical. Wensman stated that it was what was
suggested by Lisa Barajas at the Met Council. Williams asked what if the resident did
not want to connect. Wensman stated that the connection would be determined by the
City Council.
Dunn would like the “when practical” changed to “when requested”, which gives the
resident much more control. Wensman stated that the MUSA dictates where the sewer
can go, but this basically allows for Rural Single Family to connect.
5
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 6-13-16
Public hearing opened at 8:34 pm
No one spoke and there was no written comments received.
Public hearing closed at 8:35 pm
Dunn would like to see the option of sewer or private septic. She doesn’t think that
they should be forced to connect to sewer. Wensman stated that the comprehensive
Plan is not in compliance with the projects that we are doing. If we don’t do this
amendment, the land use designation would need to be changed.
M/S/P: Fields/Dodson, Move to recommend the City Council approve the
comprehensive plan text amendment to amend the planned land use category in the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan to read as written, Vote: 5-1, motion carried. Dunn
voted no because she feels it is important that people have an option regarding
connection.
Business Item – Zoning Text Amendment to discuss the VMX Zoning Text .
Wensman began his presentation by showing the areas that are zoned as general
business, but guided as VMX in the Comprehensive Plan. To bring the zoning into
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, Wensman would like to see these properties
rezoned. Wensman believes by rezoning, it would actually eliminate some non
conformities. The area that would change the most, would be in the Northern area by
39th Street. Wensman stated that this was intended to bring the district more in
conformance than it is now and should be done as a district vs. one at a time. If there
are things about the district that the Commission does not like, then changes should be
made to the district.
Dunn feels that the premise is based on the Village Master Plan. Where is the master
plan? Wensman stated that the plan was based on transfer of density and he is not sure
what happened to that plan. Dunn did a rough calculation on what could be done if the
maximum densities were used. With her calculation, there is potential for upwards of
3000 people. She feels it is quite intense and not appropriate for this target area. She
would like to see more work done on the reductions for the comprehensive plan and
possibly look at form based code. Dunn would like to see the Comprehensive Plan
revisited as soon as possible for population reductions. She thinks we should take our
time and do this right.
Dunn pointed out some of the differences between GB and VMX. She feels one of the
biggest differences is the impervious surface coverage maximum goes from 40% based
on acreage in GB to 75% in VMX.
6
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 6-13-16
Fields is confused because if the comprehensive plan is guided the way we want it, the
rezoning should happen. If we are considering if the guiding is correct, then it should
not be rezoned, but should be discussed what the guiding should be.
Larson thinks that what brings the guiding for VMX into question is that the density of
this area is in transition. Larson understands the feeling of discomfort as this zone is
less restrictive. There are still a lot of questions that make it uncomfortable for peo ple
to buy into this zone.
Williams thinks it would be good to ask the City Council if past projections of population
in this area are still valid.
Dodson is wondering how big a project form based code is. Wensman stated that it is
something that takes some technical skill to do and it would need to be contracted out.
Williams thinks it would help facilitate the vision, but would not be necessary to do the
rezone.
M/:Dunn/, Move to recommend not rezoning the parcels to VMX until the City Council
can review the target numbers and there is a form based code, motion dies for lack of
second.
M/S/P: Williams/Dunn, Move to ask the City Council to give the Planning Commission
guidance on updated population and development projections for the areas guided for
VMX in the Old Village, Vote: 6-0, motion carried unanimously.
Fields would like to know what the driving force was for the VMX. If it was to bring
more people to the downtown to make it more vibrant, or if it was to meet the Met
Council mandates for housing population. Williams recollection was that it was for both
of those reasons in addition to form based code to make it a more picturesque
downtown and to incorporate business and residential in the same building, which
general business does not do.
M/S/P: Williams/Dodson, Move to ask the City Council to approve funds for a consultant
to work on a form based code for the downtown Old Village, Vote: 6-0, motion carried
unanimously.
Fields would like any information that he could get on form based code. Williams
believes that the City has a couple of videos on this topic.
