Easement Vacation- Northport Third Addition (Village Parkway North and Upper 315t Street North) City Planner Prchal gave the staff report. This request is vacate a drainage and utility easement over an existing outlot in the Northport Addition as submitted by Pulte Homes L.L.C. The vacation is required to final plat the 3rd Addition of Northport,which is part of a planned 104 unit residential development. The 3rd Addition includes 41 single family lots that are Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 2-10-20 located among 11.7 acre on the northern part of the subdivision. Staff recommended approval of the request subject to compliance with the conditions listed in the staff report. Chair Caddenhead opened the public hearing at 7:15 and closed the public hearing at 7:16. There were no public comments. M/S/P Steil/Weeks - seconded the motion to recommend to the City Council approval of the proposed vacation of the drainage and utility easement for the Northport Third Addition. Approved Ayes All. c. Code Amendment-Minimum Lot Area for On-Site Sanitary Sewer(Septic) Systems City Planner Prchal gave the staff report. The City Council had asked Staff to look into the sizing requirements for septic systems in the Rural Zoning Districts, essentially any zoning district that would not normally connect to City sewer. This was asked of Staff because the City no longer permits septic systems but instead defers to Washington County as the permitting authority, as such there is less of a need for the existing standards in the City Code as it pertains to septic area. The existing City Code for Septic Drainfield Regulation in the,A, RR, and RS Zoning Districts requires all lots to have at least 20,000 square feet of land suitable for septic drainfields and area sufficient for 2 separate and distinct drainfield sites. Placement of the second required drainfield between the trenches of the first drainfield is prohibited. Prchal noted that the standard of requiring 20,000 sq. ft. of area for septic is two things - slightly arbitrary and safe. He went on to note there is nothing inherently wrong with the 20,000 sq. ft. standard and in fact it is probably a safe number to use because of its size. However, now that the City has deferred the septic permitting to Washington County, the 20,000 square foot standard no longer means anything to the City. In staff s opinion, as long as Washington County has provided the applicant/City with an approved permit, City staff is inclined to believe that the site can support the home that is being proposed. The existing City Staff is not suited to question the validity of a proposed septic system. The proposed code amendment would replace the existing code language requirement that each lot show an area of at least 20,000 square feet of area for a septic system with the following: All applicants for a use or building permit in any district not served by public sanitary sewer must demonstrate that an on-site sewage treatment system(Primary and Secondary Location) can be installed in accordance Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 2-10-20 with Washington County Subsurface Sewage Treatment SyLtern regulations. Chair Cadenhead opened the public hearing at 7:34 and he closed the public hearing at 7:35. There were no public comments about the proposed code change. The commission reviewed and discussed the proposal and were supportive of the proposal. Commission Holtz moved to recommend approval of the proposed ordinance amendment, Commission Weeks seconded the motion. The motion passed Ayes all. 2. New/Unfinished Business a. 2020 Planning Commission Work Plan City Planner Prchal presented the staff report about the proposed 2020 Planning Commission Work Plan.

Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 3-9-20 New Business Land Use and Concept Plan Review—City-owned 180 acres Roberts presented the Land Use and 3 Concept Plans that the City had prepared for the City-owned 180 acres near County Road 14 and Ideal Avenue. The City Council reviewed the three concept plans on February 11, 2020. They received feedback that the area south of County 14 should be planned for business and warehouse uses and the area north of County 14 should have a variety of land uses. Concept A was selected by the City Council as the best choice of the 3 concepts. Mueller mentioned that a park created on the edge of Lake Elmo will be primarily used by residents of Oakdale, especially considering the new development that was just approved for high density housing across Ideal from the proposed park. He also asked if there is a way to include the Lake Elmo Farmers Market. Roberts explained that the reason the ball fields are specifically on this site is in replacement for the ball fields lost in the Royal Golf development. Roberts also explained that sanitary sewer would need to be available in order for any of the developments shown. Holtz asked if there has been any discussion around the ability to fill the 78-80 acres of commercial and industrial uses. What other opportunities are there in the metro area for this size of City driven development? It was noted that St. Paul has the Hillcrest Golf course and the Ford Plant as redevelopment sites and Cottage Grove is looking to develop near Walmart and incorporate a Community Center. Graen asked how this fits into the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Roberts explained that any of the concepts plans would need an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan since it is currently designated rural. Weeks explained that Royal Golf is a good example of changing the Comprehensive Plan and adding utilities. The former Tartan Park property was owned by 3M and came up for sale. The City allowed the changes to the Comprehensive Plan when a developer came forward to purchase the land to convert it into the Royal Golf development. Cadenhead opened the public hearing at 7:38 pm Scott Smith, realtor, 4057 35t" Street, asked them to look at the concept more due to size and elevation of the development and the impact on neighbors. He mentioned that the business warehouse market is over saturated or will be in the near future with all the projects that are coming to the area. Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 3-9-20 Dan Van Ampting, 8367 39th St., stated that the commercial industrial park is oddly placed, feels more residential uses and a Community Center would be better. Penny Dempko, 3929 Innsdale Ave., does not believe industrial north of County 14 fits with the park and character of existing area. She also discussed the settlement money, water and street project proposed by the City, and run off concerns in area. Lynn Lambert, 3889 Innsdale Ave, suggested the plan has too much industrial and there is a need for pollinators and maintaining eco systems. Laney Balen, 3563 Iris Ave, stated that commercial and industrial will add to the lights and traffic and reduce safety in the area. Laura Sempf, 3850 Ironwood Avenue, stated that he is concerned about traffic from the development if a through street is put it, increasing traffic and reducing safety for children in a neighborhood with no sidewalks. Donna Wulfing, 8196 38th Street, stated that she is not thrilled with the ballfields and the noise and lights that will come from them until 10 pm at night. Roberts mentioned that one of the Parks Commissioners suggested shifting the ball fields south away from the homes. Debbie Anderson, 8229 38th Street, expressed noise concerns from the development. Geraldine Breheim, 8415 38th Street, wants to know if there will be funds available or if there can be water run to the area with this project. Roberts explained if a development of this sort were to occur it would be with City water and sewer. Brad Heil, 4068 35th Street, stated that he would like to see no warehouse and no street connection to the neighborhood to the east. Lori Caspers, 3829 Ironwood Trail, noted concerns about commercial spaces and about drainage issues. John Schwingler, 3923 Ironwood Trail, is concerned about the height of warehouses and the asthetics. Dan Gerding, 3693 37th Street, the Wildflower Shores association president, expressed concerns about a possible road connection to the existing neighborhood. He said he would prefer a pedestrian path instead of a road connection and that the look and feel of the neighborhood would change with this type of development. Mike Karcher, 3655 Iris Ave, suggested moving the location of ponding to be near the existing pond and provide separation from the existing homes. Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 3-9-20 Roberts noted that the City had received two e-mails from nearby residents that echoed many of the same concerns mentioned during the meeting this evening. Cadenhead closed the public hearing at 8:14 pm. Holtz explained that $25 million of 3M settlement money is available to get safe public water to areas in need in an expedited process due to pollution. M/S/P: Graen/Holtz made a motion to recommend to complete an economic survey on the feasibility and necessity for commercial or industrial parks within the 180 acres of 3M settlement area in order to know the market saturation and determine other potential uses for the area. Vote: 5-1, motion carried. Staff and Commission Updates Roberts reported that at the February 4, 2020 City Council meeting, Applewood Pointe of Lake Elmo has been tabled until April, first by council then by developer. Both sides want to ensure all five council members are present at the meeting when it is considered by the Council. Roberts also reported that at the March 4, 2020 City Council meeting, the Northport 3rd Addition Preliminary Plat and the Ordinance Amendment regarding 20,000 square foot requirement for septic systems were approved. Roberts mentioned that the City is hiring a Building Official. Roberts reminded the Commission of the upcoming PC Meetings on March 23, 2020 and April 13, 2020. Roberts also mentioned that the Springs development has started the tree cutting and grading. Meeting adjourned at 9:10 pm Respectfully submitted, Tanya Nuss Permit Technician Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 3-9-20 STAFF REPORT DATE: May 11,2020 Public Hearing TO: Planning Commission FROM: Ben Prchal—City Planner AGENDA ITEM: Zoning Text Amendment(s)—Farm School REVIEWED BY: Ken Roberts,Planning Director BACKGROUND The City of Lake Elmo has received a request from Amy Marotz,owner operator of Awakening Spirit Farm School,which is currently located in Woodbury,to add Farm Schools as a possible land use in the Rural Zoning Districts. The applicant currently is not a resident of the City but is hopeful the City will approve the proposed zoning text amendment so the School could possibly relocate to Lake Elmo. The City has entertained the concept of Farm schools in the past as part of a larger development which also included housing. In this instance it is proposed as an accessory use; and would strictly apply to properties that meet the performance standards. REVIEW AND ANALYSIS Staff believes the request is unique but does share some similarities between other uses in the City, such as day cares and of course schools. Functionally this use would appear to operate on a very similar level as a day care,the only difference would be the structure of the day for the children. Staff would like to first start by generally addressing the City code and how similar uses are addressed and then then provide some discussion on how other communities would address the same request. EXISTING ZONING CODE Day Care Discussion: § 154.012 ZONING USE TYPES AND CLASSIFICATIONS. Day Care Center. Any facility operated for the purpose of providing care,protection, and guidance to 14 or more individuals during only part of a 24 hour day. This term includes nursery schools,preschools, day care centers for individuals, and other similar uses but excludes public and private educational facilities or any facility offering care to individuals for a full 24 hour period. Parking—Requires 1 space per employee on the largest shift and 1 space per 10 students if off street parking is required. Zoning Districts:If a use is permitted it will still need to meet the performance standards listed in the definition. Rural Districts Allowed as a permitted use in all rural districts. Urban Districts Allowed as a permitted use in the MDR and HDR district. Village Districts Allowed as a permitted use in the VMX district. Mixed Use Districts Allowed as a conditional use in all districts. Commercial Districts Allowed as a conditional use in all districts. School/Educational Service Discussion 154.012 B. 2.) Schools, Public and Private. Establishments at the primary, elementary, middle,junior high, or high school level that provide state mandated basic education. Accessory uses include play areas, cafeterias, recreational and sport facilities, auditoriums, and before or after school day care. Examples include public and private daytime schools,boarding schools, and military academies. Exemptions: 1)preschools are classified as day care facilities, and 2)business and trade schools are classified as educational services. 154.012 B. 3.)Educational Services. Establishments engaged in furnishing specialized academic or technical courses, normally on a fee basis, such as vocational or correspondence schools, Barber College, data 1 processing schools, or secretarial schools, along with non-degree granting schools such as post-secondary colleges and universities,martial arts, music, art, ceramic, and dramatic, schools, and dance instruction. Parking- 1 space per staff member plus 1 space per 5 students of legal driving age based on design capacity. Zoning District: Urban Districts Schools are allowed as a conditional use in the LDR,MDR, and HDR districts. Following standards in section 154.303. Educational service is not allowed. Village Districts Schools are allowed through a Conditional Use Permit(CUP)in the VMX district. Educational services are a allowed permitted use. Mixed Use Districts Schools are not allowed and Educational services are an allowed permitted use. Commercial Districts Schools are allowed by CUP in the commercial and Business Park district. Educational services are allowed as a permitted use in all districts. Public and Semi Public Schools are allowed by CUP and educational services are not allowed. 154.303 Standards for Services. A. Educational Services. Except in the industrial districts, all typical activities shall be conducted within an enclosed building. 154.513 G. Educational Services. 1. The structure containing the use shall be no less than 100 feet from residential properties. 2. Outdoor recreation areas shall be setback a minimum of 100 feet from residential properties with adequate screening. 3. The number of persons on-site at any given time shall not exceed 700,with the exception of larger events occurring no more than four times per year. Staff would like the Elected to understand that the only performance standards that the City could apply are the generic standards for a CUP review, design standards for the district,that which is established in the definition and in section 154.303, and/or section 154.513 for education services. Although, the list may appear long there isn't much that would be specific to the use. Additional standards can be applied but they need to be applicable a crossed the board. Which is why it is important to establish the code and standards for the use now. 2040 Comprehensive Plan Discussion: A condition of the CUP process is that the use is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Specific uses don't necessarily need to be called out in the comprehensive plan to be compatible. Schools are addressed in the Institutional section of the City Code. However, Staff does not believe schools are necessarily limited to just those districts. It can be said that the rural districts are described as being agricultural in nature however, a daycare is not necessarily an agricultural use but is allowed. The intent of the use is to be accessory to the property. If the property owner were to sell and the new home owner does not wish to operate a school it can easily remain a residential property in an agricultural district. Suimested Performance Standards: Although schools and day cares are now allowed in many Lake Elmo zoning districts,the proposed code change would only be applicable to the rural districts. After speaking with the City Planners for Orono and Cottage Gove, Lake Elmo would be one of the first City's to prepare standards for schools that are a step above a home school setting but not quite large enough for a traditional school campus. The City of Orono allows schools in many districts but require properties of less than 15 acres to apply for a CUP. Both codes do allow schools in specific districts but not all performance standards were not set in the code (beyond setbacks,minimum lot size, etc.)and instead would be applied through the CUP review.Although it is possible to do this it creates uncertainty for the perspective operator and potentially places the City in a difficult position as standards need to be more or less similar across the board and be reasonable for the property. 2 City Staff also followed up with the City of Woodbury,where the school currently operates. The response from the Planner stated the following(The referenced code is attached)"This address is a single-family home in our R-4 District. A daycare would be reviewed under Woodbury City Code Sec. 24-134. Daycares are a permitted accessory use for under 12 children. 13+children would require a CUP. In addition,we do not having any documentation of this address receiving a CUP to operate as a school." As not to violate the code the school would need to have 12 children or less. As a permitted accessory use in the R-4 district there would not be as much City permitting as a school would require which is an accessory conditional use(as Staff is recommending). Woodbury does not dictate the type of road that the School needs to have access to but instead limits it based on parcel size and then some specific standards that need to be met on site. Staff believes this has pros and cons. Busier roads and properties located on them would not notice the traffic as much as a neighborhood street would. As the Lake Elmo has it now,one could argue that as long as there are 14 fewer children in the school there wouldn't be a negative impact to nearby properties. After consulting Legal on the code change,the City should consider the following: - This would be an accessory conditional use, so there would need to be a principal use on the property (i.e. a house or a farm) in addition to the school. Staff suggests the City consider the school as an accessory use so that if the use were to stop,the property would/could revert back to a residential property. - The City should be aware that if it allows this type of use, it is opening this type of use up to other (types qfi schools as well, not just this one. - The City should require visually on the surface for the property to appear as a residential property. - It is critical that the City review the suggested mandatory conditions in order to place some limitations on size (number of students and building size), access, hours of operation, etc. or this type of use could get out of hand. Section 154.600 B. 5.) (Provided below) outlines some standards for schools in the City. Staff cannot speak on how or why the SAC ratio was determined but instead it may be more reasonable to limit on number of students instead of a SAC determination. However, Staff does not think the direct access onto a collector or arterial street would be a performance standard to consider. 5. Public and private schools (except licensed day care),provided that: a. No use may exceed a ratio of 3.0 SAC units per 3.5 acres or 235 gallons per day per net acre of land based on design capacity of all facilities, whichever is more restrictive; and b. Direct access is provided to a public street classified by the Comprehensive Plan as a major collector or arterial. The City should consider adding the following performance standards into section 154.303. Schools, Public and Private (For the rural zoning distircts). - The minimum lot area required for a rural school shall be 5 acres. • Woodbury requires a 2 acre site. - An affiliate of the school must live on site as a permanent resident. • The intent of this requirement would to ensure that the primary use is first residential and then the school would become accessory. If the school were dissolve then the site would maintain the ability to continue use as a residential property. - *The site must have primary access to a roadway that is not classified as a neighborhood street or a`13 Minor"in the Comprehensive plan. • Street classifications can cause issues, as seen with the Whippletree. There may be a site that is well established for the proposed use but due to the road classification it no longer becomes viable. The City should decide now if there is any value in requiring a certain road classification. Perhaps the commission would like to consider a"tier." For example 3 if the school has 15 or less students there is no road classification requirement. Where 16 or more students would require the site to meet the road classification requirement. - All parking shall be contained on site and shall follow the standards in section 154.210 - Student drop off and pick up must occur on site. - The buildings on site which are intended for use by the school will be subject to a review by the City Building Official and the Fire Chief. - The applicant must have a pre application meeting on site with the Building Official before final submission of a land use application. - The buildings must meet the Minnesota State Building Code for the proposed use. - The School must comply with the applicable requirements of the U.S. and/or Minnesota Department of Education. - The septic system shall be inspected and approved by Washington County verifying the site can functionally support the allotted number of students and Staff. - The septic approval/review shall be provided to the City. - All structural additions and modifications if desired, shall be structurally similar by design and color to the existing structure and shall represent the appearance of a residential property. - There shall be no overnight activities. - There shall be no more than 25 students on site at a time. - All school assemblies (Such as plays,parent teacher conference, etc.) shall be conducted Monday through Friday. All assemblies desired outside of this time frame shall be conducted off site. FISCAL IMPACT: Staff does not foresee a fiscal impact with this possible code change. The City charges an application fee for every zoning text amendment and conditional use permit application. COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATION City staff is looking for comments and direction from the Planning Commission about the proposed code change that would allow limited schools in the rural zoning districts. Staff does believe it can be possible for the use to cohesively operate in the rural districts and not pose a negative impact on the neighboring properties.

Dr. Elaine Aron, author of The Highly Sensitive Child, defines a highly sensitive child (HSC) as a person born with a nervous system that is highly perceptive and quick to react to their environment. As 15%-20%of the general population,these children are easily overwhelmed by high levels of stimulation, emotional distress of others, and sudden changes. These are not bad kids who misbehave in the classroom. In fact,they are very much rule-followers. However they can often be labeled as 'problems' because their behaviors are varied and misunderstood. Some HSC are emotionally intense, bossy, demanding, and active. They may exhibit temper-tantrum like behavior when they are overwhelmed. Others may have seemingly opposite characteristics--quiet, shy, introspective, calm and obedient. The kids on this side of the highly sensitive spectrum may not seem like a 'problem' at all, until they shut down when asked to join a group of children they don't know or travel to a place they are unfamiliar with. Being labeled as a 'problem' invariably leads to a loss of self-esteem. Instead of celebrating differences and strengths (such as intuition, creativity, empathy for others and deep wisdom),focus is on their fearfulness,fussiness, hypersensitivity and 'otherness'. They simply process their world differently, and can be bullied by peers or uncomfortably singled out by teachers who don't understand. Unfortunately, because their learning environments are not right for them, many HSC start displaying anxiety and depression at an early age. Add to their temperament another gift, such as dyslexia or dysgraphia, and the difficulty of'doing well' in school compounds drastically. They"hate school" because they intuitively know that their environment is not a safe space. A percentage of these kids (1-5%of all children ages 5-17) exhibit outright school refusal. This is different than truancy. Students demonstratjng school refusal display severe emotional distress which manifests in anxiety attacks,temper tantrums, depression, difficulty sleeping, and/or somatic symptoms like headaches and stomachaches. When children do not feel safe,their brains are stuck in a flight-fight-freeze pattern. No true learning is possible. Without intervention, a highly sensitive child in crisis can quickly spiral into serious social and emotional problems. Ian the short term, these students have more difficulties with peer relationships and more family stress. They unsurprisingly demonstrate poor academic performance. 4 In the long term,this school refusal leads to academic underachievement, employment difficulties and an increased risk of psychiatric illness. Unaddressed or untreated anxiety and depression can lead to dropping out of high school and, more alarmingly, suicide. According to the 2018 CDC WISQARS, suicide was the second leading cause of death for youth ages 5-18. In the 2019 Minnesota Student Survey, 1 in 5 teenage girls has "seriously considered suicide." As both a highly sensitive person, and a parent of two HSC, I (Amy Marotz) refuse to stand by and watch this downward spiral exist. By creating a unique school community that is consciously designed to nurture HSC, I am assuring that the sons and daughters of our community will be supported and respected as individual learners. These children will have control over their own educations, and their futures. They will grow to be happy, healthy,well-balanced, and creative adults. In our school environment,they will learn that embracing the gifts that come along with being a HSC will empower them to be amazing caretakers and stewards of this world.

I mil, �` Every aspect of Awakening Spirit Farm School is intentionally designed for the highly sensitive child. From the first moment that they step onto our property, children who have felt unsafe in other schools are able to finally take a deep, unrestricted breath of relief. There are no other schools in our area that offer a truly gentle, individual, hands-on educational experience that meets every emotional, physical, and spiritual need of a highly sensitive child. In order to serve the highly sensitive child, we have blended a variety of academic and non-academic models in order to form the Awalgening Spirit Farm School instructional model. EXISTING MODELS: CHARLOTTE MASON METHOD- "Main Lesson" Cultivating good habits of work, study, and community responsibility is of utmost importance in a Charlotte Mason pedagogy. The atmosphere of the environment is absorbed into a child's subconscious. Academic subjects should be experienced through 'living thoughts and ideas', not just dry facts. Main Lesson topics are expressed to students from a wide variety of sources- Shakespeare & the Bible, Natural & Applied Sciences, American & World History, and foreign language. The works of great artists and composers are taught throughout these lessons. Narration and guided note-taking help students construct their own illustrated textbooks to contain their learning. WALDORF-INSPIRED KINDERGARTEN The Waldorf philosophy sees education as an art. Curriculum (storytelling, nature, seasonal study, real life work) provides an unhurried way of learning that minimizes modern stressors and protects childhood. Kindergarten children bake, paint, garden and craft year round in this warm and loving environment. Forest time in our outdoor play space is a magical place for free, imaginative play. INDEPENDENT READING LESSONS: MindPlay Virtual Reading Coach- - MindPlay Virtual Reading Coach° (MVRC) is an effective, evidence-based, online reading program that improves reading abilities. It permits students with diverse skills and unique needs to read with control and precision. It teaches Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Vocabulary, Grammar, Comprehension, and Fluency . In 30 minutes a day, 4 days a week, the program offers each student tiered instruction and remediation, but is also designed with content based on the Orton- Gillingham methodology (specific instruction for dyslexic students). Metrics and results are available immediately for teachers to track. V 0 .may ,► INDEPENDENT MATH LESSONS: Teaching Textbookzs Teaching Textbooks" were designed specifically for independent learners grades 3-12. In a web- based platform, Teaching Textbooks present audiovisual step-by-step lessons and explanations for every chapter and problem. Each student is able to progress through the program at exactly their pace. It introduces terminology that students need to know for standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT. Metrics and results are immediately available for teachers and parents to track. SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING- "Passion Projects" We call our self-directed learning time our "Passion Projects", and they are easily the student's favorite part of our school day. This method of learning aims to teach students the most essential skill of becoming lifelong learners--the knowledge of how to learn. Teachers act as mentors and guides. Instruction focuses on skills and practices that enable lifelong learning and independent problem solving. The idea is that if the students can learn the 'how', content/topic becomes interchangeable. The skills needed for taking on the responsibility of self directed learning may be a key factor in students pursuing undergraduate education, postgraduate training, and continuing professional development. .b. _ � � li r �• i "� `{t:li ��• •" Y } ZW .ram. � � �t� OUTDOOR EDUCATION/FOREST TIME: In order to help our students become stewards of our environment, we believe they must experience nature firsthand. Outdoor experiential activities (den building, fire lighting, tool use, exploration, etc) develop problem-solving skills, co-operation abilities and leadership roles. A positive element of risk and challenge is inherently present in this atmosphere, as children climb trees, construct forts and explore nature. Adults are ever present to provide gentle guidance, supervision and safety instruction. MINDFULNESS/WELLNESS Mind-body-spirit balance is of utmost importance for our HSC. Teachers bring mindfulness into the classroom daily by incorporating brain-based cross-lateral movement, prayer, and guided • meditation during transition times. Twice a week, students experience and practice fitness, meditation and nutrition with a local health & wellness coach. Students also use this learning to plan, prepare and serve healthful meals and snacks every day. Weekly martial arts provide mindfulness practice, focus, discipline, self-confidence, and work ethic along with the actual self-defense skills that kids need to protect themselves. To round out this element, the "ABC's of Safety", a nationwide program developed by the Good Knight Child • Empowerment Network will be taught every summer. These 10 simple lessons teach children how to recognize predators and keep themselves safe. They replace childhood vulnerability with empowerment. s FARM CHORES: A rotating schedule of daily chores on the farm ensure that every member of our community has an important and active role. Farm chores include teams for vegetable &flower gardens, animal care (chickens, goats, llama), a groundskeeping team that assists teachers with lawn, trail and forest upkeep, as well as a maintenance team that will accompany teachers to learn how to fix equipment, fencing and classroom tools. ADVENTURE DAYS: Our weekly field trips ("Adventure Days") are not only learning opportunities, they also help inoculate highly sensitive children to the outside world. Sensitive children discover that 'different' is sometimes not 'comfortable', but it can be conquered. Weekly trips to museums, zoos, and theaters in the Twin Cities expose our children to crowds and sensory stimulation. Respite is found on our quiet school grounds, but we are able to return again and again to situations which may cause stress, conquering former barriers to happiness and lifetime enjoyment. ROADSCHOOLING: Three times a year, our entire upper school has the opportunity to travel together to deepen our understanding of specific topics. Students select a topic of study. As a group, we research destination and transportation options, while looking for other learning opportunities to tie in along the way. Because group travel can be a big hurdle for highly sensitive children, roadschool trips are optional. Parents are always invited along to act as chaperones and support systems for any HSC who want to join us on the adventure, but are not yet ready to travel without family. • LOW-RESIDENCY ONLINE PROGRAM We know that it is not always possible to physically be at school. In order to serve children who can not be on the school grounds, for any reason, we have a remote learning option that includes independent learning plans, Main Lessons, and self-directed learning. The flexibility offered by this platform is paramount for keeping our students connected with their school community, regardless of location. • A Short History of Awaktening Spirit Farm School: I have been teaching for the past 15 years. My first position was as a founding teacher at the Minneapolis Academy charter school (90%free&reduced lunch, inner city Minneapolis). It was a dream opportunity for a first-year teacher to be able to design my classroom and curriculum from the ground up. The school launch and first three years of operation were hard work,educational,and extremely rewarding. After leaving the public sector to raise and educate my own two HSC, I embraced the importance of simplicity,calm, rhythm and strong spiritual home life for young, highly sensitive children. I began writing guest blog posts for Simplicity Parenting community,and became known for gentle, responsive parenting and homeschooling advice. A few years later I heard about the stress and anxiety that a friend's highly sensitive child had in the public school system. My friend's daughter was breaking down into tears every day. This little eight year old girl was a perfectionist- a rule follower who was so worried about the possibility of not getting the'right answers'that she would be unable to do anything but cry. The classroom was loud and crowded. Her classmates made fun of her. Her teachers were frustrated that she couldn't just'get over it'. She begged her mother to homeschool her, but her mom was a single parent and a business owner with no free time to do so. She refused to go to school. Their family needed an alternative. My heart ached for that child and I felt called to start my own microschool that would hear,see and value highly sensitive children who needed a change. • In 2017, 1 registered "Awakening Spirit School"as a nonpublic school with the state of Minnesota. My proof-of-concept school operating budget was very low as a result of holding classes in the basement of my family home. Over the next two years, I was able to grow the student body from 3 to 7 enrolled children,grades K-8. Parents were beside themselves with gratitude. Students transformed into happy, healthy,self-confident learners. They now loved school. During the 2019-2020 school year,word of"AWS"spread organically through the HSC community. Curious teachers and holistic practitioners began referring new students. It was then that I knew my proof-of-concept experiment had just about run its course. It was time to open a stand-alone, "Awakening Spirit Farm School". Armed with a sound business plan and budget,a crystal-clear vision,a creative and enthusiastic staff and support team,and open lines of communication between families,staff and administration, I am ready to truly bring the vision of a holistic, nature-based Mk farm school community to life. �\ With 15+years teaching experience,Amy prides herself on truly hearing,seeing and valuing every individual student. She believes that the most important product of any educational system should be a happy,healthy child,balanced in mind,body and spirit. She strives to fill students with abiding love,compassion and grace for themselves,their families,and their • _ communities at large. e She Is currently the sole teacher of the proof-of-concept"Awakening Spirit School",and is excited Amy Marotz, to be joined by two additional full-time teachers when Awakening Spirit Farm School opens its doors in September 2020.

Take my advice and get connected with a fabulous woman who is supporting and loving my children and opening their world to a whole new dimension of exploration and self-directed learning. My kids have been through a lot this past year. This school and the love they have received has changed our lives. Amy is patient, innovative and loves my children as her own. I ' couldn't ask for a better teacher! -Melissa M, parent . .. . pt k. .W.- A "I decided to pull Tay out of traditional school after 3rd grade. Why?Well, there were many reasons actually and there has not been a day that I've regretted it. One such reason was that Tay's self-confidence was much lower than it should have been. She is a perfectionist, and was very discouraged and frustrated to tears AO (often)in the traditional school setting when she couldn't"do something"as well or as quickly as the teacher expected the students to do. She was a struggling reader with NO interest in books.As every child,Tay has a unique way of learning and developing. Once she started attending Awakening Spirit School, she got to experience a teacher who is able to foster that. Tay LOVES school,like LOVES it! She is actually sad on Fridays cuz ,a she won't be in school and happy on Sundays when she gets to go back to school!!! Tay is always reading. She now brings a small pile / of books home from library days, and can be found lounging on the couch with her puppy and a book. Her reading assessments have jumped to being to right at grade level.As far as socialization and real-world experiences,Tay has gone on roadschool trips to to ' Atlanta,Arizona, South Dakota, Colorado and New Mexico...on these adventures she has been to museums,exhibits,water parks, kriver rafting, camps, sand dunes,parks, aquariums and so much -Amanda R, parent more that she would never get to experience without this school! Her self-confidence has sky-rocketed and she has grown tremendously as she's been able to discover life on her own terms." Parents of highly sensitive children are searching for a viable alternative to traditional school. Their level of desperation is a function of how poorly their child is currently doing. By the time they have come to us they have "tried everything"- counseling, in-school IEP's, occupational therapy, dietary adjustments, holistic treatments, medication. The only thing that they are unable to control for is the environment their kids are in during the day. Most of our parents work full time. They need a school alternative that combines the comforts of home with the support of teachers trained to work with HSC. Our families practice mindful, intentional parenting. They are aware of their children's temperaments (and may be highly sensitive adults themselves), and they choose to honor who their children are as people. They have been awakened to the idea that their children cannot be defined by test scores alone. They want to know their child is being seen, heard and valued as an individual. • Families of HSC need the school day to be flexible to accommodate therapies, holistic treatments, and 'mental health days'. While we monitoring and tracking student attendance and retention, we do not assign punitive unexcused absences or tardies. We trust our families to make mindful decisions with the highest good of their children in mind. Our low-residency remote school program is available to serve students who, for any reason, are unable to be physically at school. --�_I 1'��,__--:-- J INC OF THE VALLEY Woodbury SHEPHERD Thrives Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church(Afton,MN)serves the St.Croix Woodbury Thrives is a nonprofit that focuses on connecting the River Valley communities.

We wish to partner with local teaching colleges to provide a field placement and/or student teaching program in a truly alternative setting. Educating our educators is an important part of building a legacy and changing the paradigm. We look forward to having community open house days, where not only families, but other curious teacher and administrators from the public and private sectors will be invited to come and join us and bring back ideas for serving highly sensitive children that may work in their own settings. • LAKE - ELMO ' Minnesota *; UBSON ••• ST.

We have found that fire departments of some cities tend to consider us as an 'in-home daycare' for fire code regulations, because we have a small occupancy and are planning on being located in an existing home. The Washington County health department considers our kitchen a 'home economics classroom' because our students plan, prepare and serve all of our meals. For septic needs, Washington County says we need to be able to process 14 gallons of waste water per student, per day.

A narrative describing your reason for requesting zoning text amendment. Your description should include how you would be impacted by the zoning text amendment. I wish to bring my small private microschool to a Lake Elmo Rural Residential property. Lake Elmo's location and accessibility makes it the most desirable location for my school, as our student body draws from Hudson and the entire St. Croix River Valley all the way to the Metro area. Lake Elmo has a unique small town charm that will work hand in hand with our 'one-room schoolhouse of the future'. Awakening Spirit Farm School is registered with the state of MN as a nonpublic(private) school. We take highly sensitive students who currently'hate school' and help them reignite a love of learning. Between 2-5%of all school age children suffer from anxiety-based school refusal. It presents between the ages of 5-6 and 10-11. These children are not troublemakers. They, in fact,tend to have average or above-average intelligence, but they may develop serious educational or social problems if fears and anxieties keep them away from school. When they do attend, they suffer from stomachaches, headaches, crying jags and even behavior problems. No true learning is possible when they are stuck in a fight-flight-freeze brain pattern. As we are a very small school, we operate as an old fashioned one-room schoolhouse, with two mixed age classrooms (a mixed age kindergarten and an upper elementary/middle school). We have three full time teachers with a maximum student body of 24. As a home-like environment is crucial to our vision of creating a warm and nurturing space. Our beautiful, natural classroom will eliminate stressors like chaotic halls, bells, overcrowding and active shooter drills. We will use essential oils, art,therapy animals, movement, purposeful farm and garden work, prayer and meditation to provide ongoing stress-relief. Please see the attached brochure for more information about the school. 3 1 P a g e Lake Elmo "School, public and private" amendment request How the text amendment meets the Comprehensive Plan. "Living Healthy in Washington County" is striving to make a positive difference across the county, including supporting policy changes within schools and communities around healthy youth development. Our school fits in this plan as we provide a wellness-based education alternative for the community's youth. City of Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan 2040 CG Goal#1: Promote Lake Elmo as an exceptional place to live because of its proximity to the metropolitan area and access to healthcare, culture, and jobs. Strategy c. Identify opportunities to bring new businesses and services to the community that support existing and future residents and neighborhoods. Awakening Spirit Farm School will be employing three full time teachers year-round. We will also bring additional K-8 educational options for families who would benefit from the services and setting that our school can provide. Our one-room schoolhouse of the future will add to the unique small-town charm of the Lake Elmo community. CG Goal#4. Provide a framework for developers and land owners that clearly communicates the desires and expectations of the City for specifically guided areas of the community. Strategy b. Strengthen existing ordinances, zoning districts and other regulatory tools to clearly, and directly, support the Comprehensive Plan and land use designations. Currently, schools (public and private) are not addressed in the Residential District use tables, but they are in the Urban Residential District use tables. By adopting this text amendment, the City of Lake Elmo will update its municipal code to align ordinances within its own code and that of neighboring cities. Seven cities include language in their city code to allow for conditional use permits of Rural/Ag zoned parcels to support schools: Woodbury, Orono, Cottage Grove, Rogers, Bayport, Lakeland, Grant. 4 1 P a g e Lake Elmo "School, public and private" amendment request LU Goal #1. Work with residents, developers, land owners and other stakeholders through the development process and require development that is consistent with the Future Land Use Plan. Strategy a. Create clearly defined land use designations that are responsive to a dynamic market place and create a balanced land use pattern By adopting this text amendment to extend conditional use permits to schools on rural residential parcels,the City of Lake Elmo will be able to clearly define land use on a dynamic and case by case basis. How the text amendment will impact the zoning and the subdivision code. Conditional usage for"Schools, public and private" is allowed in Urban Residential districts in existing Lake Elmo code. Article XII. Urban Residential Districts, section § 154.45 allows for conditional use approval for"Schools, public and private" in "Low Density Residential Districts (LDR)", "Urban Medium Density Residential District(MDR)" and "Urban High Density(HDR) parcels" 154.301 No changes are proposed to the subdivision code. 5 1 P a g e City of Orono After talking with the Planner perspective school properties of 15 acres or less would need to follow the CUP process and appropriate conditions would be applied during the CUP review. The following information is the criteria that is used by Orono to review conditional use permits. RR-113 Sect 78-418 (11) Schools, daycare centers,uses accessory to a high school on lots less than 15 acres. a. Pre-kindergarten,primary and secondary public schools and private schools with a curriculum similar to a pre-kindergarten,primary or secondary school. Schools may include before and after school care for students. b. Daycare centers, nursery schools and similar programs that are not associated with a public or private school and serve pre-kindergarten children. c. Indoor ice arenas accessory to a high school provided the arena, including accessory uses, is: 1. Located on the same tax parcel as the high school to which it is accessory and is owned by the local school district; 2.Not separated from the high school building by a public road; 3. Operated by the school district or by a nonprofit organization; and 4. All structures are located at least 50 feet from any adjacent property zoned for residential use. Sec. 78-916.-Granting of permit. (a) The planning commission may recommend and the council may grant a conditional use permit as the use permit was applied for or in modified form. On the basis of the application and the evidence submitted,the city must find that the proposed use at the proposed location is or will be: (1) Consistent with the community management plan; (2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as required by article V, division 3 of the City Code; (3)Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management; (4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; (5)Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; (6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is planned to be used in the future; (7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area,unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; (8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; (9)Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; (10)Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; (11)Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; (12)Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets,parking needs that cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or unsafe access; (13)Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact; (14)All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the public right-of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; and (15)Not detrimental to the public health,public safety, or general welfare. (b)A conditional use permit may be granted subject to such conditions as the council may prescribe. (c)A conditional use permit shall remain in effect as long as the conditions imposed by the city council are observed,but nothing in this section shall prevent the city from enacting or amending official controls to change the status of conditional uses. (d)A certified copy of any conditional use permit shall be filed with the county recorder or registrar of titles. The conditional use permit shall include the legal description of the property included. Cottage Grove City Staff spoke to the Planner for Cottage Grove and they indicated a similar process as Orono. If a plan were to come in, in a district where a school was allowed conditions would be applied during review. The following information is the criteria that Cottage Grove would use to review conditional use permits. 11-2-9: CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS: A. Purpose And Interpretation: In order to give the district use regulations of this Title the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, in certain districts conditional uses are permitted, subject to the granting of a use permit.

THE CITY OF jJAKE ELMO STAFF REPORT DATE: May 11,2020 PUBLIC HEARING ITEM#: MOTION TO: Planning Commission FROM: Ken Roberts,Planning Director AGENDA ITEM: Zoning Code Amendment—Residential Front Yard Setbacks REVIEWED BY: Ben Prchal, City Planner Sarah Sonsalla, City Attorney BACKGROUND: City planning staff is proposing additions and changes to the zoning code about front yard setbacks for the residential zoning districts. The intent of the proposed changes are to allow property owners to build additions or accessory structures on residential properties in locations that meet or exceed the front yard setbacks of existing buildings, even if the proposed setback is less than the front yard setback required by the zoning district for that property. This item was scheduled for a public hearing on April 13,2020 but was tabled to a future Planning Commission meeting due to the length of that meeting. ISSUE BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION: The Planning Commission should review the proposed code changes, conduct the public hearing and then make a recommendation to the City Council about the proposed amended zoning code language. REVIEW AND ANALYSIS: City planning staff is proposing the zoning code changes about front yard setbacks to give more clarity and flexibility for the construction of additions and accessory buildings on lots with existing single-family dwellings. It is my expectation the proposed code change will benefit residential property owners by lessening their needs for setback variances while protecting the character of their neighborhood and the adjacent properties. Section 154.402,Lot Dimension and Setback Requirements (Rural Districts), Table 9-2, lists all the lot standards and setback requirements for construction in the RT,A,RR,RS and RE zoning districts. For example,the minimum front yard setback in the RE zoning district is 100 feet. Section 154.452,Lot Dimensions and Building Bulk requirements, Table 10-2,lists all the lot standards and setback requirements for construction in the LDR,MDR and HDR zoning districts. Staff has interpreted all the setback standards listed in the tables as the minimum setbacks for all building on a property—whether the proposal is for new construction on a vacant lot or for an addition to an existing dwelling. The Zoning Code does not now list any exceptions to these setbacks—even on lots with an existing structure. So if there was a single-family dwelling located in the RE zoning district with a front yard setback of 50 feet(instead of 100 feet as now required),the City would consider that building non-conforming and the City now requires any additions to such a building to meet the 100 foot front yard setback(unless the City was to approve a variance for a different front yard setback). This is a 1 limiting factor for such projects and thus many property owners may not pursue improvement or construction projects on their property. The attached proposed code amendment lists additional notes to Table 9-2 (rural districts)and to Table 10-2 (urban residential districts). This proposed code language outlines the possible exceptions to the front yard setback standards as set in each table for each zoning district. The proposed change is for the front yard setbacks for additions to existing single-family homes and for accessory structures on lots with single-family homes that have setbacks different than those listed in the Table for that district. For example,the proposed code amendment would allow the owner of an existing single-family home in the RE zoning district with a 50 foot front yard setback to put an addition on to their home if the addition would meet or exceed the existing, established setback of 50 feet without the need for City approval of a setback variance. This Code change would allow property owners more flexibility to construct additions and accessory structures than they currently have with the existing front yard setback standards.As such,this Code change may encourage more construction of additions and accessory structures on residential properties. The proposed code language also gives the Planning Director some latitude to allow a different front yard setback for the construction of a new single-family dwelling in all zoning districts under certain circumstances. This includes a staff review of the drainage in the area and the privacy of the existing adjacent homes. UPDATE: Since the Planning Commission meeting on April 13, 2020, staff has added additional language to the proposed code change about driveways. This new language notes the County and City will need to approve the use of the existing driveways or new driveways as part of any such review and approval. The intent of this additional language is to ensure the existing and proposed driveways would be safe to use as part of any building addition or for a new accessory building. FISCAL IMPACT: Staff does not foresee a fiscal impact with the proposed code change. If the City Council approves the code change, there would be fewer requests for front yard setback variances and thus fewer variance applications and fees collected by the City. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of the suggested amendments to the City Code as they pertain to front yard setbacks in the rural and urban residential zoning districts.

URBAN RESIDENTIAL, DISTRICTS 154.450 PURPOSE AND DISTRICT DESCRIPTIONS. The urban residential districts are established to provide areas for residential development that are served by public sewer and water services in accordance with the city's Comprehensive Plan. The objectives of these districts are to preserve and enhance the quality of living in residential neighborhoods,to..regulate structures and uses which may affect the character or desirability of residential areas,to encourage a variety of dwelling types and locations and a range of population densities consistent with the city's Comprehensive Plan, and to ensure adequate light, air,privacy and open space. The residential districts and their purposes are as follows: A. GCC Golf Course Community District. The GCC district is intended to permit urban residential developments in conjunction with a golf course and its accessory uses. Development in this district will be enhanced by coordinated site planning; open space and environmental resources; and provision of a safe and efficient system for pedestrian and vehicle.traffic. The GCC district is intended to provide areas for densities lower than other Urban Residential Districts,ranging from 1.4 to 1.65 units per acre,with adequate open space buffers to provide a transition between denser,sewered development and rural areas:Residential development within the GCC district will consist of an environment of predominantly single-family dwellings with lots slightly larger on average than those in most Urban Residential Districts. B. LDR Urban Low Density Residential District.The LDR district provides an environment of predominantly single-family dwellings on moderately sized lots, and is designed to be the most restrictive of the urban residential districts. The LDR district is intended to provide.areas for lower density residential development within the city's planned sewered development areas,and may be used to provide a transition between rural development areas and the city's urban development and districts.Densities shall range from two 2 to 4 units per acre; however,the overall density for a specific development area must be consistent with the net densities specified in the Comprehensive Plan. The lot size and other district standards allow for the creation of smaller lots with.the expectation that common open space.will be provided within developments that exceed the base densities (at low end of the land use density range)within the Comprehensive Plan. C. MDR Urban Medium Density Residential District. The MDR district is established to provide for a diversity of housing types in those areas where such development is consistent with the medium density residential designation of the comprehensive plan and compatible with the development pattern of the surrounding area. Clustering of buildings to permit more orderly development and to preserve open space within new developments is encouraged. Development within the district shall occur at densities in the range of 4 to 7 dwelling units per acre, with two-family dwellings and townhouses permitted. The city will determine the allowed density for a piece of property at the time of the development application, and this determination will be based upon the'site- specific characteristics of the property and the requested development. Factors to be considered in increasing or decreasing the allowed density include the existing environmental conditions such as wetlands, floodplains, steep slopes,significant trees; the specific site plan;the amount of open space preserved, and the type of housing units Xll-1 proposed,including whether greater density is desirable because the development contains housing.that is consistent with the city's housing.goals..The burden of establishing the appropriateness of the high end of the density range will be on the applicant. D. HDR Urban High Density Residential District. The HDR district is established to provide for an environment of moderate to high-density attached and multi-family housing; designed to present an attractive appearance to neighboring streets and adjacent uses, to .include sufficient private and semi-private outdoor space, and to be well integrated into their.surroundings. Small office and service businesses of limited size and extent may be allowed as conditional uses.The HDR district is appropriate as a transition between l`commerciaor industrial districts and'surrounding neighborhoods,and in already developed higher-density areas. Development with the district may occur at densities in excess of 7 dwelling units per acre, provided the overall densities for within a development area are.consistent with the.n,,get densities specified in the.Comprehensive -TW and that a density analysis is used consistent with the purpose statement for the �MDR�istrict. (Ord.2072.062,passed'9=18-2012;.Am: Ord. 08-167,passed 2-7-2017) § 1.54.451 PERMITTED AND CONDITIONAL USES. Table 10=1 lists all permitted and conditional uses allowed in the urban residential districts: 'T" indicates a permitted use;"C"a conditional.use. Uses not so-indicated shall be considered prohibited: Cross-references listed in the table under"Standards"indicate the location within this chapter-of specific development standards that apply to the listed use. A. Combinations of Uses. Principal and accessory uses-may be combined on a single parcel. A principal and secondary dwelling uiut may combined according to the standards of§ 154.454(Q: Singlesfamily attached or multi-family complexes designed for.rental or cond.omifiium occupancy,.typically include,multiple--units and buildings on a single parcel.

Common open space areas may be used in the determining whether or not the minimum lot areas within a development are met,when provided as part of an overall development plan. b. Two-family units may be side-by-side with a parry wall between them ("twin") or located on separate floors in a building on a single lot("duplex"). The per-unit measurements in this table apply to"twin"units, whether on a single lot or separate lots. The standards for single-family detached dwelling shall apply to a "duplex"containing two vertically-separated units on a single lot. c. In the case of single-family attached dwellings that are not situated on individual lots,minimum lot size shall be applied to each unit as a measure of density; i.e. 1 unit per 2,500 square feet. This standard is also used for multifamily dwellings. d. Single family dwellings (both attached and detached) and two-family dwellings may use the side yard setbacks within MDR zoning districts. XIn a block where the majority of the block face has been developed with the same or similar setbacks, the front setback for the remaining lots on that block face shall fall within the range established by the existing setbacks. A ' f. In situations where a garage or accessory building is set back less than 7 feet from a side property line, the maximum permitted encroachment for anything f,�, b' attached to said building (including eaves, overhangs, steps, chimneys, and other appurtenances as described in Section 154.081)will be two(2) feet. g. Side yards setbacks shall apply to the ends of attached or two-family dwellings. h. Corner properties: The side fagade of a corner building adjoining a public street shall maintain the front setback of the adjacent property fronting upon the same public street, or the required front yard setback,whichever is less. If no structure exists on the adjacent property, the setback shall be as shown in the table. (Ord. 2012-062, passed 9-18-2012; Am. Ord. 08-071, passed 3-5-2013; Am. Ord 08-167, passed 2-7-2017) § 154.453 DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND PRESERVATION OF OPEN SPACE. A. Averaging of Lot Area. When lots are clustered within a development to provide common open space, the open space may be used to calculate an average density per lot to determine compliance with the individual lot area requirements. B. Lot Dimension Reductions. Other reductions in dimensional standards may be considered as part of a planned unit development if these reductions provide for common open space within a development.

From this review and discussion, it was the consensus of the City Council that: o The area south of County Road 14 (old Highway 5)be planned for Business Park/Warehouse land uses. o The area north of County Road 14 should have a variety of land uses and that Concept A was the plan that came closest at this point in the planning process to accurately reflect those potential land uses. While reviewing Concept Plan A,the Council discussed the proposed location of the ball fields, the potential City Hall site,the access road from Ideal Avenue,the inclusion of low-density housing and the need for storm water ponding in that area. o The City should reach-out to nearby property owners to give them the opportunity to provide their comments and input about the land uses for the area north of County Road 14. In response to that directive, staff sent public meeting notices to 70 nearby property owners(those to the north and east) about the land use planning for the area and inviting them to the March 9, 2020 Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission reviewed these items during their meeting on March 9,2020. The Commission took comments from nearby property owners about Concept A and discussed the land uses they thought would best fit in this part of Lake Elmo. The direction of the City Council to City staff is for the City to amend the Comprehensive Plan for the area south of County Road 14 and east of Ideal Avenue(approximately 65 acres) from RAD(Rural Area Development)to BP (business park)to accommodate a possible office warehouse development similar to what is shown on Concept Plan A. (Please see the attached maps showing this area). The goal of the City Council is to get as much of this property on the tax rolls with development in a style or form similar to the office-warehouse plan shown on Concept A. 1 These properties in Lake Elmo do not currently have access to municipal sanitary sewer and all existing developed parcels in the area are now served by on-site sanitary sewer(septic) systems. The Concept Plans being considered by the City are likely only achievable if the land areas are served by municipal sanitary sewer that will allow for the intended development use and densities. To serve this area with municipal sanitary sewer to support this type of development,the City will need to develop a plan for extending sanitary sewer service to the property. Once the sewer plan is known,the City will need to amend the MUSA(Metropolitan Urban Service Area)boundary and associated maps and tables in the Wastewater Services Chapter(Chapter 9) of the Comprehensive Plan. These land use and sewer plan changes,however,require City Council and Metropolitan Council approval of several changes to the recently adopted 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The changes are required because this part of Lake Elmo is not included in the MUSA nor had the City included this area in the Wastewater calculations in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed comprehensive plan amendments require a 4/5th affirmative vote by the City Council and approval by the Metropolitan Council. (Please see the attached maps and tables for more information about the proposed changes). ISSUE BEFORE PLANNING COMMISSION: Should the City amend the land use plan to BP and change the MUSA Boundary and other relevant sections and elements of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for the 65 acres of City-owned property located south of County Road 14 and east of Ideal Avenue? PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: Comprehensive Plan Amendments Amendment to Land Use Plan. The direction of the City Council was for the City to re-guide (change the land use designation) of the aforementioned City-owned property south of County Road 14 from RAD (rural area development)to BP (business park). This is because the RAD land use designation is for areas not in the MUSA while the 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies BP as"providing for a wide variety of professional businesses such as medical and research facilities, offices and corporate headquarters. Retail sales of goods and services are allowable uses by conditional use permit provided such uses are goods and services for employees of the permitted business use. This land use designation excludes any residential use." Such a land use plan change is necessary to accommodate an office warehouse development as shown on the concept plans for the area south of County Road 14. The area to west of the site across Ideal Avenue in Oakdale includes a Target Store and residential properties south of the existing railroad tracks. Amendment to the MUSA Boundary. The MUSA Boundaries for the sanitary sewer service areas in the City of Lake Elmo are depicted on the maps on Pages 3-11 (Map 3-2), 3-17 (Map 3-3), 3-24 (Map 3-7) and 9-5 (Map 9-1) of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. (Please see the attached maps.) The City-owned property known as the former 3M property located at the intersection of County Road 14 and Ideal Avenue is not now included in the MUSA in the City. As noted above, the City needs to change the MUSA boundary on all relevant maps in the Comprehensive Plan to include the City-owned property as part of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment in order for it to be eligible to have municipal the sanitary sewer to serve it when it develops. Amendment to Wastewater Services and Facilities Plan. The City also will need to amend the Wastewater Services and Facilities Plan in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan to accommodate sewered-development on this site. The City has not studied in any detail the feasibility or methods to serve this property with sanitary sewer.As part of a sanitary sewer feasibility study, staff would need to review the sewering options that may be available to extend sanitary sewer service for the 65 acres (and possibly other properties). Such a study would need to determine how to serve the area with sanitary sewer and if the sanitary system can accommodate these additional properties on the system. 2 As part of the amendment process,the City will need to amend several tables in the existing Comprehensive Plan to show the additional properties connected to the sanitary sewer system. They include Table 3-2(Page 3-16), Table 3-5 (page 3-22), Table 3-6 (Page 3-25),Table 9-2 (page 9-8),Tables 9-3 and 9-4 (on page 9-9) and Table 9-5 (on page 9-10). The City cannot finalize any of the necessary amendments to these tables until more study and analysis of the sanitary sewer system and of the potential development and land uses is completed. The purpose for including these maps and tables with this report is to show the Planning Commission and City Council all the pages and elements of the Comprehensive Plan that need changing if the requested land use plan change for the 65 acres of City-owned land is to go forward. All these changes and updates will need to be finalized and approved by the City Council before the City may submit the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Metropolitan Council. The decision to change or amend the Comprehensive Plan is a policy matter for the Planning Commission to make a recommendation on to the City Council. The City should base any change to the Comprehensive Plan on findings and criteria to show that the change would be consistent with the goals and policies of the City. Such criteria may include that proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment would be consistent with the spirit and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and it would be beneficial to existing and future residents by providing another location for commercial or business park development on a site with access on an arterial roadway. Zoning Map Amendment. If the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment is approved,the City will need to rezone property during Preliminary Plat/PUD approval. The area to the south of the subject parcel includes parcels that are guided RR(rural residential)and RE(residential estate). The parcels to the east are guided LB (limited business)which includes Animal Inn and their associated properties. The LB designation is for areas that are developed with commercial uses that are not served by urban services. Staff would recommend that the City rezone the City-owned property to BP at the time of development review to be consistent with the proposed(and approved)BP land use designation. Recommended Findings—Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Staff recommends the following findings: 1. That the City Council has submitted a request to the City of Lake Elmo to amend the Comprehensive Plan in accordance with the procedures as established by the Lake Elmo Planning Department and the Lake Elmo City Code; and 2. That the request is to amend the Land Use Plan Map for the 65 acres of City-owned land located on the south side of County Road 14 and east of Ideal Avenue from RAD(rural area development)to BP (business park); and 3. That the proposed amendment is consistent with the overall goals and objectives of the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan by providing an additional site for commercial and business park development; and 4. That the City believes the proposed BP land use designation is the highest and best use of the property; and 5. That the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment would be beneficial by providing another location for a business park on an arterial street not currently available in Lake Elmo. Staff recommends the following condition of approval: 1. Submission of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Metropolitan Council and the receipt of formal notification from the Metropolitan Council that they have reviewed and approved the proposed amendment. 3 FISCAL IMPACT: The City has not yet determined how to provide sanitary sewer service to this area of Lake Elmo. As part of any feasibility study for the sewer,the City would review design and funding options and determine how to pay for the sewer project. This might include assessing the full cost(100%) of the sanitary sewer extension project to all the benefitting properties. Any additional properties that would be added to the City sanitary sewer system also will generate additional Sewer Access Charge(SAC)fees to the Sanitary Sewer Enterprise Fund. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of an amendment to the Land Use Plan of the Comprehensive Plan,re-guiding the aforementioned City-owned property from RAD(Rural Area Development)to BP (business park),based on the recommended findings and condition of approval. "Motion to recommend approval of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment re guiding on the City's Land Use Plan the 65 acres of City-owned land located south of County Road 14 and east of Ideal Avenue from RAD(Rural Area Development) to BP(business park), based on the recommended findings and condition of approval." Additionally, Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of any necessary amendments to the Land Use Plan and to the Wastewater Services and Facilities Plan of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan by adding the 65 acres of City-owned property on the south side of County Road 14 and east of Ideal Avenue to the City's sanitary sewer area. "Motion to recommend approval of all necessary amendments to the 2040 Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan (including those to the Land Use Plan,MUSA boundaries and to Wastewater Services Plan) to add the 65 acres of City owned land located south of County Road 14 and east of Ideal Avenue to the City's sanitary sewer area." City staff is recommending these changes based on the findings listed in the staff report and is subject to the condition listed in the staff report.

MCES owns and operates a system of sewer interceptors that conveys wastewater across City boundaries to regional treatment facilities. Wastewater flows from Lake.Elmo enter the MCES Interceptor system at two locations,The western portion of the South Planning MUSA, between Inwood Avenue and Keats Avenue, are conveyed to the MCES Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant (WV./TP) located in the City of St, Paul, directly adjacent to the Mississippi River. This area connects to the MCES system through a 10-inch gravity sewer extending across eastern Oakdale and connecting to the MCES 15-inch 1 WO-500 (WONE) interceptor sewer that crosses under 1-94 into Woodbury. "The Old Village MUSA and eastern portion of the South Planning MUSA, between Keats Avenue and Manning Avenue, are conveyed to the MCES Eagle Point Plant in Cottage Grove which serves southern Washington County.This area connects to the MCES system at a meter station/Interceptor that also crosses under I-94 into Woodbury.The connection point is located 9-7 along Hudson Boulevard approximately 1,000 feet east of Lake Elmo Avenue. The MCES plans to extend a new sewer connection for the City of Lake Elmo to replace the connection through Oakdale for the western portion of the South Planning MUSA, specifically the east 1/2 of Section 33 and all of Section 34.The new WONE connection point will be near the City's existing 1-94 lift station and will greatly reduce that lift station's forcemain length The 1-94 lift station will continue to be active and maintained by the City. Through the 2040 planning period, other than a potential WONE replacement MCES connection discussed in the previous paragraph, there are no new planned Trunk Sewer system connections to the MCES disposal systems. The existing units in the Cimarron manufactured home park will be served by regional sewer between 2030 and 2040 unless environmental threats require a more immediate connection. The remaining homes and businesses not currently served by sewer within the Village Planning Area are assumed to be served by regional sewer between 2018 and 2030.
