Public Hearing: Variances on Bennett Avenue for Neil and Elizabeth Miller ro The Assistant Planner introduced the application for the variances for The Miller's property on unimproved Bennett Avenue. She explained the past vacations of two roads and the unimproved dedicated roads that remain. The road frontage requirements'' in the R-1 Zoning District are 125 feet, and the applicants only have sixty feet on the unimproved Bennett Avenue. The Assistant Planner reported that the Fire Chief said he would prefer 14 feet in width and height for safety vehicle access. He also said he has concerns with the curves and corners in the proposed driveway as well. Assistant Planner Matzek said that the driveway would be created on a neighboring parcel then crossing the city's right-of-way. An agreement would have to be drafted to protect the city from liability for the crossing Of the right' of way. She pointed out that shared driveways also sometimes present problems for maintenance issues. The Assistant Planner said the address files for two neighbors had drainage reports and a history of flooding on those parcels is well documented. Valley Branch Watershed District added requirements for lowest floor elevation as well as the requirement that a watershed district permit would be necessary for any work at or below 932.5 feet in elevation. The Assistant Planner pointed out that the northern parcel was assessed as a Recreational Lot when the roadway was improved in the past. The Assistant Planner recommended denial of the application for variances due to the safety concerns and the impact on adjacent properties based upon flooding history. She said that if the Planning Commission recommends approval, an easement agreement for the driveway would be a requirement of approval. Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes from November 27, 2006 Neil and Elizabeth Miller Mr. Miller asked if the Assistant Planner had visited the site. He said that no homes are served by those two roads. The driveway on the Severin property goes straight out to 50th Street. Mrs. Miller said they could meet the 14 feet requirement for fire access and for emergency vehicles to turn around. They would be willing to meet the fire chief to create that. Mr. Miller said shouldn't the previous owner have been required to combine the two parcels in the past. He said that the parcels combined would meet the city's 60% rule. He said that the City Engineer is wrong, that Argyle Street and Bennett Avenue are not being used. Snow plowing would not be performed by the city, and there would be no reason for it because they are not improved roads. Mrs. Miller asked why it would be a health, safety, and welfare issue. She said that the existing driveway has been there for seventy-five years. She asked why not vacate the streets there. She said they would be able to meet city requirements as a piece of cake. Mr. Miller said the bank thought it was buildable with the access easement from 8012 50th Street North or they would not have loaned them the money. He said the land is worthless if it can't be built upon. The Assistant Planner said she was unable to see the lot from the road because it was not staked and the parcel is landlocked. The planner explained it would not meet the 60% rule because that section of the code addresses a parcel of record in October of 1979 that is 60% of the lot size standard. These parcels were not combined and have not been a parcel of record since 1979. Commissioner Ptacek asked whether the applicants purchased both lots. They said they did purchase two property identification numbers. Commissioner Ptacek said it is incumbent upon the owner to consolidate. He said it is unclear precisely where they want to place the driveway. The applicant presented an aerial that Commissioner Ptacek said verified the engineer and chief's concerns about angles and access for the driveway. Commissioner Deziel asked if there rs a maintenance agreement with the owner of the underlying land for the ingress/egress easement. The applicants said they could do that if that is a city requirement. Commissioner Van Zandt asked if they met with staff prior to purchasing this land. They replied that they met with the administrator and city planner one year ago. At that time, they said that the concern was for lot size and not so much the access. Chairman Helwig asked the width and height of the existing driveway. They did not know the answer. He asked if The Severins would be willing to improve their driveway to that extent. The applicants said they would. THE CHAIRMAN OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:37 P.M. Kevin Clemens 7920 Hill Trail North Mr. Clemmons said he lives west of and adjacent to the wetland that abuts the subject property. That property is upslope from the wetland. He said he is worried about the wetland; there is a fragile ecosystem in that small pond. If the runoff would cause it to flood it could be damaged beyond repair. 1.5 acres as a minimum lot size is also a quality of life issue and neighbors in the area would like that standard to remain. Carl Abrahamson, Resident Mr. Abrahamson said he has lived there 42 years and knows why they left those two roads open. The roads could be used in the future by the city. All the roads in the neighborhood are 30 feet Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes from November 27, 2006 2 wide. Owners take care of plowing in there. He did express concern for the fire department access. He said if that portion of Bennett Avenue adjacent to the subject parcel was not vacated it could be buildable. He recommends approval with the conditions including widening the driveways. Commissioner Pelletier read two letters, one from Michael and Maura Severin of 8012 50`h Street North (attached) and the other from Allen R. Siedle of 7951 Hill Trail Court (attached). THE CHAIRMAN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:43 P.M. Commissioner Deziel said a city 201 System was built into unimproved Argyle Street and the fence around it runs nearly down the middle so he assumed that meant Argyle Street was not going to be improved. Commissioner Fliflet asked when the land was purchased. The Millers said they bought the land in July of 2006. Assistant Planner Matzek said that the report from Valley Branch Watershed District came too late for the staff report. As a consequence she would add Findings for flooding of neighboring properties. Commissioner Ptacek said that adding the remainder of Bennett Avenue would still not meet lot size or road frontage requirements. Even if the parcel is rezoned to NC in the future, it would not meet road frontage requirements. He said that he is uncomfortable with anything other than denial for lot size until NC comes in the future. The Chairman asked the applicants if they would like to table to a date uncertain in the future. Mr. Severin, 8012 50th Street North Mr. Severin said he knows why those roads weren't vacated when the remainder of the roads near there were. He said because that lot still had access. He said it is not landlocked because it has an easement. Assistant Planner Matzek said she would have to find out the legal impact of vacating those additional streets. She said there are still problems for road frontage, wetland concerns, and emergency access. Commissioner Fliflet asked if the applicants would table in order to prepare and present plans for the easement, agreements, driveway and accessibility, and other concerns presented tonight. The Commission asked staff whether or not this is a protected wetland, how much of the parcel is buildable with the setback from the 100 year flood elevation for the wetland and with the septic system. They would also like more information for safety vehicles and a permanent driveway maintenance agreement. M/S/P, Roth/Van Zandt-to direct staff to evaluate a -permanent maintenance agreement, environmental impact, and wetland setbacks and bring it back with the additional information requested to the next meeting and to look at the legal ramifications of street vacation for Bennett Avenue because the City may anticipate soon receiving a petition to vacate. Vote: 9:0. Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes from November 27, 2006 3 Commission Roth said he has difficulty with the existing lot size. Commissioner Armstrong said the city should not be creating new lots with easements for access. He said there are serious environmental concerns for the septic system on this parcel in a neighborhood with a history of bad soils and failing septic systems. There are 201 systems in this area. M/S/P, Roth/Deziel to table the Miller application for variances until the December 11, 2006 Meeting where the requested information will be provided by the applicants. Vote: 9:0. Public Hearing: Preliminary Plat of EAGLE POINT BUSINESS PARK 7TH ADDITION and also Section 520 Site Plan Review for Phase 3 Office Center The Assistant Planner said the proposal before the Planning Commission is a replat of one outlot within Eagle Point Business Park 5th Addition into two parcels and one outlot. A site plan has also been provided for a 2-story, 40,000 square feet office building on one of the lots. The applicants do not have a tenant for the building at this time. The street will be located between the two newly platted lots from Hudson Boulevard northerly to Eagle Point Boulevard. Sewer and water will be available to this site. She said that the City Engineer said the city does not maintain the pond so no easement is suggested for it. No exterior lighting plan was submitted yet. The Landscape Plan was reviewed by the City Forester and it meets minimum requirements. Dale Glowa, United Land, LLC Mr. Glowa said this site plan is a duplication of the phase II building which is now 80% leased, and it will be constructed of the same material but this will be a two-story version. There will be another phase in the future. The private drive is created by an access agreement among all the property owners. It is like a shopping center with drive aisles but built to city specifications but maintained by the owners. THE CHAIRMAN OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:05 P.M. Nobody came forward to speak. THE CHAIRMAN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:06 P.M. M/S/P, Ptacek/Roth to recommend approval of the preliminary plat and PUD development stage plan of EAGLE POINT BUSINESS PARK 7TH ADDITION, and to recommend approval of the Section 520 Site Plan for the 40,000 square feet, two-story office building known as Eagle Point Office Center Phase III on Lot 2, Block 1 of Eagle Point Business Park 7th Addition as depicted on plans within the planning packet and as recommended by the Assistant City Planner with the following conditions: 1. Compliance with the recommendations of the City Engineer. 2. Compliance with the recommendations of the Watershed District, as found to be reasonable and practical by the City Engineer. 3. Only parking depicted by the Site Plan located specifically on Lot 2, Block 1, Eagle Point Business Park 7th Addition is hereby approved. 4. Submission of a complete exterior lighting photometric plan demonstrating compliance Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes from November 27, 2006 4 with the City exterior lighting standards prior to issuance of a building permit. 5. Submission of a Letter of Credit equal to 100% of the site landscape improvements guaranteeing survival of those improvements for two growing seasons, as prescribed by Section 520 of the City Code. 6. Payment of Park Dedication Fees -in -Lieu $12,133.61 (5.062 X $2,397) prior to City release of the Final Plat for recording. The Development Agreement is now structured to collect a pro rata portion of those fees with each building permit issued within the business park.. Vote: 9:0. PUBLIC HEARING: Amend Zoning Districts and Zoning Map The Assistant Planner displayed proposed Zoning Districts. She said that R-1 and R-2 will be deleted and NC will replace them. HB and CB will be deleted. OP is not a free-standing zoning district. PF includes the former P. R-4 will be deleted because we do not expect any freestanding high density except through PUD. NC is a new classification, R-2 is for Carriage Station only and that will become NC. NC will not be for any new neighborhoods. It is only to preserve existing neighborhoods. A new term, `adjacency averaging,' was explained. The Assistant Planner said that FSD will be the area south of 10' Street used as a holding area for sewer. That district will be 1 unit per 20 acres. She explained that SRD3.5 might be changed slightly to something like SRD3.0. FSD will eventually be rezoned to the SRD3.X when sewer becomes available. That 3.5 designation represents density per acre and that density might change if more units are developed in the Village Area instead of below 10th Street. The Assistant Planner said that VR is designed to regulate new development and redevelopment within the Village Area. Commissioner Schneider asked about existing LB parcels on Hudson Boulevard. Assistant Planner Matzek said she will look find out. He thought they should be zoned LB on the map because action was taken not long ago to create that zoning. Commissioner Deziel.:also thought it was an error. He said that Lake Jane has a few that are zoned AG on this map that should probably be NC. Highway 6 at 13 also has a few there that should be NC but it is difficult to tell on small maps. Commissioner Armstrong said there are three parcels for LB along interchanges of I-94 that are privately owned parcels. They should be FSD with the rest of the property owners. To be consistent with the MOU those parcels should be FSD as well. Assistant Planner Matzek said Planner Dillerud once told her they would remain LB but she will have to research why. Chairman Helwig said that Meyer's Pineridge shows as AG and it was rezoned to RR to allow OP. Commissioner Armstrong said his preference would be to have an OP Zoning District. Commissioner Fliflet said we should require that RE is not dotted yellow and white because there is no contrast. It needs to be a readable, usable map. Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes from November 27, 2006 5 Commissioner Pelletier said that OP should be cohesive. Some are AG and some are RR. They should be made to be all the same. Commissioner Armstrong said there are Conditional Use Permits controlling those properties. Chairman Helwig said Park Meadows should be RE. Mayor Johnston said it was changed to meet the housing count requirements. THE CHAIRMAN OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:27 P.M. Susan Dunn, 11018 Upper 33rd Street North Mrs. Dunn said she has concerns for the big red area in the Village, the density, and that she wants to be sure everyone is aware that surface water is a serious concern in the area. She knows it will be costly to take care of that issue. Gaylen Springborn, 8989 55th Street Mr. Springbom said his property consists of two parcels he would like to have zoned AG. He also owns Outlot B in Foxfire. He would like all of his parcels to be AG because that is the use for those parcels. The Assistant Planner pointed out to the commission that there was a problem with the legal requirements of public notification because certain zoning districts must be individually notified to affected owners. That has not been done. We must now table the public hearing. The Planning Commission asked if they could recommend this as a rough draft to the City Council. The Chairman said we will not close this public hearing at this time because the public was not properly notified and this will allow them the opportunity to testify after they have been properly notified. He said the Public Hearing will be continued to a future date. Commissioner Armstrong said we have Met Council deadlines. He would prefer not to extend again. He would like to know if the Met Council needs something else on these maps. Minor issues are NC and other rezoning. He wants to know specifically what will Met Council need from us by the deadline. The Assistant Planner will find out for the December 11 meeting. Commissioner Armstrong suggested we pass just FSD and Village Area to Met Council and worry about the rest later. Just send them the map and the text for the areas to have sewer in the future. Assistant Planner Matzek said the Zoning Districts must also be submitted. Commissioner Armstrong suggested the Commission and Council hold off and submit later for NC. He said the commissioners haven't even seen that t language yet. The City has a 9 month requirement to conform. These zones conform to the Comprehensive Plan. We have only looked at NC once. He would like to take a better look at it and said he thinks it might take two or three meetings to complete that review. Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes from November 27, 2006 6 M/S/P, Ptacek/Lyzenga to direct staff to specifically look at sending the draft map and draft zoning districts to the City Council so they may begin their work on it simultaneous with the Planning Commission. Vote: 9:0. M/S/P, Ptacek/Armstrong, to direct staff to come back by Dec. 11 with exact requirements for Met Council submittal and confirm that what Met Council really wants to see is where the sewer is going. Vote: 8:1, Nay — Fliflet. M/S/F, Deziel/Roth to continue this Public Hearing until January 8, 2007, and provide notice to affected property owners. All text should be brought to the Commission by December 11. Commissioner Ptacek thinks we need more time than that just on NC alone. Vote: 1:6:2- Aye: Deziel. Nay: Armstrong, Lyzenga, Ptacek, Roth, Fliflet Schneider. Abstain: Pelletier, Helwig. Mayor Johnston said the goal is unrealistic. Met Council needs more than a few days to review what the city has worked on for many months. M/S/P, Deziel/Ptacek to rezone Gaylen Springborn's properties as AG. Vote: 8:1 Nay: Roth - doesn't know what they are zoned right now. Staff will return with the existing zoning(s) for Gaylen Springborn's parcels. Acting Administrator Bouthilet said we might be able to use the Gazette for public notice if it is an unavoidable emergency. He will check with the City Attorney. M/S/P, Armstrong/Roth to table the Public Hearing for the Zoning Map and Zoning Districts to December 11 th with the expectation of tabling again to January 8, 2007. Vote: 9:0. City Council Updates The Assistant Planner said that the Bergmann minor subdivision was denied because of the 60 day rule because we did not notice a variance for minimum lot size. Final plats of Sanctuary and Farms were approved. Chairman Helwig said this will be his last meeting until February 15. A leave of absence was granted by the City Council. He thanked the Planning Commission for working with him. The Chairman adjourned the meeting at 9:28 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Kimberly Anez Recording Secretary Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes from November 27, 2006 7 LAKE ELMO PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Date: December 7, 2006 for the Meeting of December 11, 2006 Applicant: Oakdale Gun Club Location: 10386 10th Street North Requested Action: Conditional Use Permit Amendment Land Use Plan Guiding: AG (Agriculture) Existing Zoning: AG (Subject to a Conditional Use Permit) Site History and Existing Conditions: The City (and East Oakdale Township) file on this 62 acre site extend back to 1965; and, the use of the site as a gun club likely extends even further back in time. There have been several actions for the City regarding the gun club, including extensive activity in 1981-1982. The last formal renewal of the "Master" Conditional Use Permit was in 1988 (Resolution #88-5). The City approved an amendment to that CUP in 1998 (Resolution #98-58) to permit construction of a new caretaker residence, a garage related to the residence; and, an accessory storage structure. The 62 acre site is divided into a 22 acre east portion (where no structures or formal range facilities are located); and, a 40 acre west portion (upon which all structures and formal range facilities are located). The 1998 application for an amended CUP resulted in a lengthy Planning Staff description of a zoning issue related to an earlier mass rezoning of large portions of undeveloped land in Lake Elmo to OP. (including the 22 acre east Gun CIub site). While the issue appears to remain pending the general city-wide rezoning actions that will follow the activation of the new Land Use Plan, this application for CUP amendment again relates to a facility on the west 40 acres (properly zoned AG), so we will not address the OP zoning matter further at this time. In 2005 a CUP amendment was approved to permit an addition to an existing storage structure. The City has no record of violations of the 1998 CUP; and, the conditions to the approval of the 1998 CUP amendment have been complied with by the applicant. After the public hearing in connection with this application was noticed, a complaint was received by City staff regarding noise related to Gun Club operations. Discussion and Analysis: The applicant proposes to amend the CUP to permit an additional accessory structure 448 square feet in size with an attached overhang 128 square feet in size for a total of 576 square feet. The building will be 300+ feet from loth Street North and will be largely screened from public roads or adjoining properties. The additional shed will be used for storage purposes. Findings and Recommendations: This proposal to amend the CUP to move storage to an enclosure appears to be a positive step toward the "good neighbor" strategy of the Club. As with any application for a CUP (or Amendment) this application should be addressed as to its compliance with the CUP Findings prescribed by Section 300.06, Subd. 4, Para.A of the City Code. In that regard, Staff suggests the following: 1. The proposed CUP amendment will not result in additional impact on the public health, safety, morals or general welfare of surrounding property. Operations of the gun club will not be altered as a result of the CUP amendment. The structure to be added is located 300+ feet from the roadway which focuses any impacts internally to the site. 2. Traffic impacts of the use will not change as a result of the CUP amendment. 3. Effect on public utilities and school capacity are not applicable. 4. There will be no changes in visual impact of the use. 5. The amendment does not have an impact on the Comprehensive Plan. Based on the foregoing, Staff recommends approval of the CUP amendment. Planning Commission Actions Requested: Motion to recommend approval of an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit of the Oakdale Gun Club to permit a 36 foot by 16 foot storage building located 300+ feet from 10th Street North per plans staff -dated November 13, 2006.

ITOC.C55 @Jr., 1220 Comvnxxl &PAZ Mm his, Mrxvwta MEMO (December 7, 2006 for the Meeting of December 1 I, 2006) To: Lake Elmo Planning Commission From: Kelli Matzek, Assistant Planner Subject: VR - Village Residential Zoning District The City is continuing to take further steps in an effort to complete the required updates to the zoning regulations and bring them into compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. A public hearing has been noticed for those properties being rezoned to VR — Village Residential. I have included the proposed VR zoning district, a map showing the properties being rezoned to VR, and a write up on the primary differences between the existing zoning (AG and RR) to VR. The write up on the differences between AG and VR will be handed out at the meeting. E. VR — Village Residential District. 1. Purpose The Village Residential zoning district is exclusively intended to regulate land development and redevelopment within the area of the City defined by the Comprehensive Plan as the "Village Area" or "Old Village": and to allow development and redevelopment responsive to the 2030 Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan. Most development within the VR zoning district will be responsive to Planned Unit Development conditional use permits for parcels of 20 acres or more for which municipal.sewer"and water service is available. Use of the term "residential' is intended to include mixed residential and non-residential uses within, Conte prescribed by the 2030 Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan or tither plans/design standards adopted by the City for the Village AreaQ1a Village 2. Permitted Uses. a . Single family detached residential` b. Commercial agriculture within the limits defined in the performance standards for livestock: 3.Uses Permitted by CondiQnal se Pert a.

Accessory Uses a. Uses which are customarily accessory and clearly incidental and subordinate to allowed Permitted and Conditional uses. 5. Minimum District Reauirements.

Any body of seasonal or year-round 200 feet surface water These differences outlined below are meant to highlight major changes and should not be considered exhaustive. Differences in RR zoning to VR zoning: Permitted Use Current RR — One family residential dwellings Future VR — Single family detached residential Essentially no change Current RR — Faun, suburban or rural within the limits defined in the performance standards for livestock Future VR — Commercial agriculture within the limits defined in the performance standards for livestock There is some question as to what is meant by Commercial Agriculture as it is currently undefined in the existing City Code. Uses Permitted by Conditional Use Permit Current RR — Kennels and Open Space Development as regulated by Section 300.07 Subd. 4. O. Future VR - a. Townhouse, condominium and apartment residences when included within a PUD Plan that complies with the 2030 Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan or other plans/design standards adopted by the City for the Village Area/Old Village. b. Non-residential uses in compliance with those permitted or conditional in the LB zone when included within a PUD Plan that complies with the 2030 Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan or other plans/design standards adopted by the City for the Village Area/Old Village. c. Public/semi-public uses when included within a PUD Plan that complies with the 2030 Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan or other plans/design standards adopted by the City for the Village Area/Old Village. The conditionally permitted uses proposed for the VR district do not identify kennels or open space development. Instead, the VR conditionally permitted uses are reflective of what the new Comprehensive Plan and other plans and design standards allow. Accessory Uses Current RR — Uses and structures which are customarily accessory and clearly incidental and subordinate to allowed uses and structures; accessory structures cannot exceed the size of the principal building; Future VR — Uses which are customarily accessory and clearly incidental and subordinate to allowed Permitted and Conditional uses. Essentially no change. The future VR zoning district does not include the restriction on size of accessory structure as that should be addressed in the accessory structure section of code. Minimum District Requirements The minimum lot size has changed. The existing RR district has a nominal 10 acres and other provisions for a lot smaller than 10 acres. The proposed VR district has a 20 acre minimum lot size for unsewered area. The proposed VR district for sewered lots refers the minimum lot size to the development density standards of the Comprehensive Plan. The minimum lot width continues to be 300 feet. The setbacks for the primary building and accessory structure are proposed to be increased to 100 feet unless a PUD was applied for in which case the setbacks could be different and would be outlined with the development. The primary building height will continue to be 35 feet unless a PUD was applied for in which case the height limit could be altered. Off-street parking is not outlined in the proposed VR zoning district as it is in the RR district. This should be addressed in another section of the zoning code. Accessory building height was not addressed in the VR zoning district as it is in the RR district. It should be addressed in another section of the zoning code. The setbacks for all animal buildings, feedlots and manure storage sites remain the same. The setbacks for all uses permitted by CUP from Rl, R2, R3, R4 were removed from this section. Overall the main changes from RR to VR are the minimum lot size, setbacks of structures not within a PUD, and conditionally permitted uses. LAKE ELMO PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Date: December 7, 2006 for the Meeting of December 11, 2006 Applicant: Neil and Elizabeth Miller Location: Property I.D. No. 05.029.21.44.0024 and 05.029.21.44.0026 Requested Action: Zoning Variance for Lot Size and Road Frontage Land Use Plan Guiding: NC Existing Zoning: R-1 (Shoreland Overlay) Site History and Existing Conditions: The proposed variances are for two existing separate parcels. The two 18,000 square foot tax parcels are each created by a combination of 9 of the "shotgun" lots created near Lake Demontreville decades ago. Then in 1980, all of Mack Avenue and a portion of Bennett Avenue were vacated and portions of the dedicated and unimproved right-of-way were combined with the adjacent properties. A portion of the vacated Mack Avenue was combined with the northern parcel for the entire length of the property. A portion of the vacated Bennett Avenue was combined with the southern parcel for approximately 120 feet. The remaining 60 feet of Bennett Avenue which abuts the southern parcel was not vacated. The northern parcel with the dedicated easement land is approximately 0.5 acres (21,600 square feet) in size. The southern parcel with the dedicated easement land is approximately 0.47 acres (20,400 square feet) in size. If combined, the parcel would be 0.96 acres (42,000 square feet) in size. The relationship of the lot to a public street is unusual. The two parcels are currently landlocked with regards to a developed roadway. The lot has approximately 60 feet of street frontage along the dedicated portion of Bennett Avenue. However, this road is unimproved. Staff has found no record of a dwelling being located on either of the two properties. Discussion and Analysis: The proposed variances are for lot size and road frontage. Lot Size As mentioned previously, if the parcels were combined, the resulting parcel would be 0.96 acres (42,000 square feet in size), which is 0.54 acres (23,340 square feet) less than the required 1.5 acres (65,340 square feet) for the R-1 Zoning District. Road -Frontage The property would have approximately 60 feet of access along a dedicated, but unimproved right- of-way. 300.09 Subd. 9 Lot Width on a Public Street reads: "All lots or parcels shall have direct adequate physical access for emergency vehicles along the frontage of the lot or parcel on a dedicated and approved public roadway to the width derived from applying the lot width requirement in each zoning district." Driveway The applicant has written in their application submittals that at the time of their closing on the land, they were granted an easement to allow access to an existing driveway, thereby giving them access to 50th Street North. To connect to the existing driveway, a driveway addition is proposed to be located within the dedicated and unimproved Bennett Avenue. This brings up some concern of the city's liability for allowing a private drive within a public property. Please see condition #5 below. The Fire Chief had previously written a response to the application (see attachment) regarding access for safety vehicles. The City Engineer has reviewed the most recent site plan submitted to the city identifying the proposed location of the driveway and has expressed concern regarding the ability for safety vehicles to adequately maneuver the curves in the driveway. The City Engineer stated that it may be possible, but it was difficult to tell from the site plan. Engineer Comments The Engineer expressed concern on shared driveways as historically the City has found problems have arisen. "The existing right-of-ways may be too small to construct a standard City street. Additional easements or right -or -way would be needed." "A preliminary septic system design has been submitted and appears acceptable." DNR The DNR had no comment on the application. Valley Branch Watershed District The Valley Branch Watershed District has expressed concern in increasing impervious surface upon this property due to existing flooding problems at two homes adjacent to the wetland. The Valley Branch Watershed District stated in their email correspondence "Any new imperviousness could exacerbate the flooding problem at the wetland." Please see the attached correspondence from the Valley Branch Watershed District for full comments. Findings and Recommendations: Based on the foregoing analysis staff suggest the following Findings regarding this application for variance are suggested as follow: 1. The property can not be put to reasonable use without the granting of the variance requested. 2. The variance requested results from circumstances unique to platted properties; and, the circumstances of the variance were not solely created by the applicant. 3. Granting of the variance will not change the essential character of the neighborhood. 4. Granting of the variance will create a health, safety and welfare issue with regards to access of the property and the impact drainage will have upon existing homes. If the Commission would like to recommend approval of the variance applications, staff would suggest the following conditions be added: Conditions: 1. The properties will be combined into a single property with an updated legal description. 2. The Warrantee Deed will need to be updated to include those vacated portions of Bennet Avenue and Mack Avenue. 3. The driveway addition as well as the existing driveway that the driveway addition will connect to shall be built with a minimum width of 14 feet. A minimum height of 14 feet above the driveway must also be cleared and maintained. 4. The city must receive a copy of the recorded grant of easement allowing the applicants to utilize an existing driveway on property not owned by the applicant. 5. The applicant must sign an indemnification agreement regarding that portion of the driveway which would be located on public property. 6. Any future buildings or structures built upon the property must meet applicable setbacks and other requirements within the City Code unless a variance is granted. 7. A city grading permit is required for construction of a house on this lot. 8. The structure should have a minimum floor elevation no lower than 934.5 (two feet above the assumed 100-year flood level of the wetland). 9. The applicant shall obtain a permit from the Valley Branch Watershed District. 10. A drainage plan must be submitted. 11. Those items listed in City Code Sec. 300.06 Subd. 3. C. 1 as requested for variance applications. Planning Commission Actions Requested: Staff would recommend denial of the application based on the concern of safe access for emergency vehicles and the impact of flooding upon the existing homes. Motion to recommend denial of the variance to lot size and lot width on a public street at the proposed site to create a buildable lot based on the Findings of the Planning Staff Report of December 11, 2006. If the Commission recommends approval: Motion to recommend approval of the variance to lot size and lot width on a public street at the proposed site to create a buildable lot based on 1, 2, and 3 of the Findings of the Planning Staff Report of December 11, 2006, and subject to the conditions outlined in the Planning Staff Report of December 11, 2006.

BACKGROUND OF AGREEMENT, Users are owners of adjacent properties in the City of Lake Elmo, County of Washington, MN. Michael and Maura Severin are the owners of the property known as 8012 50th Street North, Lake Elmo, MN 55042. Neil and Elizabeth Miller are the owners of Lots 132-140 and 167-159. The Users own properties that abut each other and have access from 50th Street North, Lake Elmo, MN. There is a driveway that serves both properties. The Users have determined that it is in their mutual interest to have executed and recorded an agreement for sharing the costs of the maintenance and repair of the roadway. The purpose of this Agreement is to place into writing the mutual rights and obligations of the users of the jointly used driveway. AGREEMENT NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows: 1. Sharing of Costs and Expenses. The parties shall share the expenses as follows: The Millers, his/her successors and assigns shall pay one half of the maintenance and repair of the driveway that is jointly used. The Severins, their successors and assigns shall pay one half of the costs of maintenance and repair of the jointly used driveway that is used solely by them. 2. Binding Effect. This Shared Driveway Agreement shall not be modified except in writing signed by the parties, their successors or assigns. This Agreement and its obligations and benefits shall run with the land and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

The wetland directly north of 50th Street North has caused flooding problems to the two homes north of 50th Street North in the past. The 100-year flood level of Lakes Olson and DeMontreville is Elevation 931.5 and this wetland's 100-year flood level is at least that elevation. (It is slightly above the low point in 50th Street North.) If the City allows a home to be constructed on the lot, the structure should have a minimum floor elevation no lower than 934.5 (two feet above the assumed 100-year flood level of the wetland). Any new imperviousness could exacerbate the flooding problem at the wetland. If the site is developed, runoff should be managed to minimize the increase in runoff volumes. If feasible, rainwater gardens should be constructed. If the project will create 6000 square feet of new imperviousness or disturb an acre of land, a Valley Branch Watershed District permit is required. Regardless, erosion controls should be installed prior to any land disturbance. No work should occur below Elevation 932.5 without a Valley Branch Watershed District permit (including expanding the Severin driveway). The attachment shows the contours in the area.

If possible, please try to email questions regarding the zoning districts to me before the meeting. I plan on briefly going over only the NC zoning district unless there are other questions. MEMO (July 10, 2006) To: Lake Elmo Planning Commission From: Chuck Dillerud Subject: Defining the NC (Neighborhood Conservation) Zoning District(s) As we look at drafting the standards for the zoning districts that will correspond to the Land Use Plan classifications, perhaps the two most difficult challenges will be the VR (Village) and NC (Neighborhood Conservation) districts. The Village Area consulting planners have been tasked by the City Council with the development of design standards that will be applicable to the VR areas (the undeveloped portions of the Village Area). The Commission's challenge will be the NC standards. As we initially address the subject we should be cognizant of the language contained in the Comprehensive Plan regarding NC land use: NC (Neighborhood Conservation) This land use classification applies only to lands that have been platted as conventional subdivisions prior to the 2006 adoption of this Land Use Plan. This classification is not assigned to any other lands within the City in the future. The zoning districts corresponding to the NC classification are R-1 and R-2 (Carriage Station Subdivision only). Note that the Comp Plan has already assigned two zoning districts (as opposed to land use classifications) to NC. If we are to follow the Comp Plan we must define standards for two zoning districts: R-1 and R-2, with R-2 applying to the Carriage Station neighborhood only. The prevailing consideration in creating the NC land use class was to regulate the historically platted neighborhoods in a manner that preserves the existing neighborhood character rather than imposing "suburban" standards with the idea that, over time, the neighborhoods are intended to take on a suburban face. One critical outcome of this zoning consideration should be a significant reduction in the numbers of zoning variance applications. Two important additional factors influence how we approach NC areas: 1. Much of the NC classed area of the City is also subject to Shoreland Overlay standards. While the City has not been rigorous in applying those standards in non -riparian situations, technically those standards should be applied within 1,000 feet of any OHW. As we have said in the past State Rules regarding Shoreland Regulation permit a local government to request the DNR Commissioner to approve "Alternative Management Standards". One of the circumstances under which such alternative standards may be proposed is "where shorelands have been developed with an assortment of urban land uses for many years and much of the development does not meet the standards in parts 6120.2500 to 6120.3900." The Rules seem to imply that certain among of "horse trading" between local governments and DNR is possible. Lake Elmo may not have too many horses to trade in this case. Three physical factors appear to be of greatest importance to DNR: a. The annearance of the land side property as viewed from the water body. The less the structures or man made land improvements are seen, the better. b. The surface water drainage contribution of the land side property to the lake. The less the property surface drains to the lake the better. c. Wastewater treatment in close proximity to water bodies. 2. Lot Size as it relates to wastewater treatment capabilities is not only a DNR concern, but a local concern as well. Lot area of at least 1.5 acres (as current R-1 and Shoreland Overlay require) appears to be the accepted minimum area necessary to provide sufficient septic drain field infiltration. That was in 1980 or before. Wastewater treatment technologies in 2006 offer alternatives to the conventional septic tan/drainfield that will function (with even better treatment than the conventional means) on much smaller land areas. In addition, there remains an option to cluster waste treatment from several smaller parcels onto a remote parcel — as with the 201 systems. Based on the foregoing, and other related standards issues, staff suggests the following policy/strategy in drafting the zoning districts responsive to the NC land use classification: • The Purpose and Intent" section should clearly state that the district standards are designed to preserve the historic character of neighborhoods developed under different regulations or no regulations at all. Also that it is not the intent to, by zoning regulation, change the basic character of the neighborhood. • Minimum lot area should not be some arbitrary number, but rather governed by maximum allowable impervious surface, Floor Area Ratio (to avoid site stacking — vertical) and effective long term waste water treatment capability — Performance Standards. • Structure setbacks probably need to be addressed from at least two perspectives: 1.) Front and rear setback as a function of neighboring properties on either side; 2.) Side setbacks related to the location of adjacent structures — perhaps an aggregate number to be applied to either side of the lot. • Since so much of the NC classified property is also within the Shoreland Overlay, those standards need to be adjusted to correspond — and a Commissioner waiver applied for. New mandatory standards as to structure appearance from the water body (which could be difficult), and strict standards regarding directing surface water away form the water body could be offered to the DNR (along with the alternative wastewater treatment) as mitigation measures for reduced quantitative standards. Should the Commission agree with (or another) strategy for structuring the NC zoning districts, staff will provide draft text for the next scheduled Commission meeting. 300.07 Zoning Districts. Subd. 1 Classifications. For the purpose of this section, all land in the City is divided into zoning districts. The zoning districts shall be identified by the following classifications: A. AG Agriculture B. RR Rural Residential C. R-2 Residential (2 Units/acre) D. NC Neighborhood Conservation E. FSD Future Sewered Development F. SRD3.5 Sewered Residential Development G R-3 Mobile Home Park: H.RE I. GB J. LB K. BP L. PF M. VR Subd.2 Boundar s. Residential Estates General Business Limited Business Business Park Public and Quasi -Public Village Residential The boundaries of these districts are defined and established as shown on the map entitled "Zoning District Map" which map is available for viewing at the City offices. Unless otherwise indicated by relation to established lines, points or features, the district boundary lines are the center lines of streets, alleys, or railroad right-of-ways, existing or extended. Subd. 3 Zoning District Map. A. The map is designated as the "official zoning map" of the City and shall be maintained as provided in this section by the Zoning Administrator. In the case of un-subdivided property or in any case where street or lot lines are not used as boundaries, the district boundary lines shall be determined by use of dimensions or the scale appearing on the map. All of the notations, references, and other information shown on the map shall have the same force and effect as if fully set forth in this section and are made a part of this section by reference and incorporated in this Code as full as if set forth at length. Whenever any street or other public way is vacated, any zoning district line following the center line of the vacated street or way shall notbe affected by the vacation. B. When any permit is issued for a planned unit development the PUD number shall be noted on the zoning district map by the Zoning Administrator. C. When conflicts appear in this with respect to allowable uses or performance standards, the more restrictive provision shall be applied. Subd.4 Districts. A. AG - Agricultural. 1. Purpose The purpose of the AG zoning district is to preserve commercial agricultural operations within the City as viable btj mess entities, and; to preserve the rural character of the City by maintaining large areas of open space dedicated to agricultural production. It is repognized that to accomplish these purposes certain non-agricultural uses may be allowed responsive to strict standards of location and 9peration to supplement the property owner's gross income d thereby continue the preservation purposes. 1. Permitted Uses a. Commercial agriculture and horticulture b. Forestry meeting state and federal regulations c. , Seasonal open sales lots for agricultural and horticultural products produced on the premises. d. Pick -your -own or cut -your -own type sales operations for products grown on the premises. 2. Uses Permitted by Conditional Use Permit. a. Greenhouses;` b. Kennels; c. Stables; d.; Commercial recreation, including outdoor target ranges; e. Agricultural service establishments primarily engaged in perfoiining 4 agricultural animal husbandry or horticultural services on a fee or contract basis including sorting, grading and packing fruits and vegetables for the owner, lessee or sublessee; agricultural produce milling and processing for the owner, lessee, or sublessee; horticultural services; fruit picking; grain cleaning; veterinary services; boarding and training of horses; f. Open Space Preservation residential development as regulated by this Chapter. g. Non-agricultural Low Impact Uses as defined and regulated by this section. 3. Accessory Uses. a. Uses and structures which are customarily accessory and clearly incidental and subordinate to permitted uses. c. Home Occupations as regulated by the City Code. 4. Minimum District Reouirements.

Continuous frost footings are not required for porches, decks, and other appendages as long as proper post -type footings, per existing Building Codes are constructed. All lots must be rectangular in shape and any two adjacent sides must have an aspect ratio not exceeding 4:1. D. R-2 - One -and -Two -Family Residential (Hi h 2 units per Acre Density). 1. Purpose The purpose of the R-2 zoning district is to permit residential development at a gross density of 2 units per acre in limited peripheral areas of the City as a transition use from urban scale development or zoning in adjacent cities to the exurban scale and density characteristic of Lake Elmo. All such development must be served by municipal water and community sewer, and must be developed responsive the Open Space Preservation ordinance. R-2 zoning is intended only for lands classified RAD2 by the Comprehensive Plan. 2,1. Permitted Uses . a. One family detached dwellings; b.
