AGENDA ITEM: Royal Golf Conditional Use Permits and Variance
INTRODUCTION:
The City received two conditional use permit applications and a variance application from Royal
Golf Club LLC. (the “Applicant”) for the property located at 11441 20th St N (The “Subject
Property”). The first conditional use permit is to add two pickleball courts to the property as an
additional outdoor recreation amenity. The second conditional use permit is for the expansion of
the existing clubhouse facility to include expanded restaurant facilities, an indoor golf lesson
simulator, and administration space.
To achieve the conditional use permits, the applicant must also request an impervious surface
variance. The applicant is seeking flexibility from 105.12.720 Table 10-2, which restricts
impervious surface to in the GCC zoning to 30%. Due to the existing lot layout and site
improvements, the parcel is already over the impervious surface maximum at ~46% hardcover.
The appliants is proposing to add 5,979 square feet of impervious surface, which will bring the
property total to 56.31%. The clubhouse parcel serves as the amenity parcel for the larger
pervious golf course.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS:
Pickleball CUP: Royal Golf Club LLC is requesting a conditional use permit to add two
pickleball courts to their site for member use. This request will add 3,861 square feet of
impervious surface to the site. Per LEC 105.12.710 Table 10-1 Outdoor recreational facilities
require a conditional use permit. The performance standard for outdoor recreation facility
requires that uses, such as playing fields or aquatic centers, that generate substantial traffic must
be located off a street that has enough capacity and that it must have two points of access. There
are more than two access points to reach the courts, although given the number of courts and use
by members who may also be traveling by golf cart, bike, or foot, it has been determined that
this request alone would not generate substantial traffic. Landscaping is proposed as part of this
request in addition to fence netting to mitigate noise. There is no lighting proposed with the
courts.
Clubhouse CUP: Royal Golf Club LLC is also requesting to expand their existing Clubhouse.
Per the Royal Golf Planned Unit Development Resolution 2017-93 (Condition No. 2) any
expansion to the clubhouse or intensification of use shall require a conditional use permit. The
proposed request includes an addition of 2,114 square feet of impervious surface (~5,400 square
feet including the second level). The addition is going to house administration space, a golf
simulator for lessons, and a shell for a restaurant. Landscaping is proposed as part of this request
and a parking plan has been submitted indicating adequate parking is available for all uses on
the site.
Variance: The variance request is to allow the property to have a greater maximum impervious
coverage percentage that permitted by the City Code (30%). The applicant seeks to increase the
parcel’s impervious surface to 56.31%, the parcel is already a legal nonconformity at ~46%
hardcover. The subject property (10.9 acres) is surrounded by a pervious golf course (roughly
182 acres according to the proposal narrative). When taken as a whole, the golf course’s total
3
impervious surface is far below the 30% threshold. The function of the golf course requires
considering the whole set of parcels; the golf course parcels cannot function as intended without
the clubhouse parcel, and vice versa. The variance is required for the proposed conditional use
permits to move forward.
CITY AGENCY REVIEW:
This request was distributed to several departments and agencies for review on October 18th,
2024. The following departments provided comments on the applications:
•VBWD Email (10/22/24) - Indicated no watershed permit would be required since the
project has been revised to be under the impervious surface permit threshold
requirements.
•Fire Department Memo (10/23/24)- Provided comments regarding drive lanes, parking,
fire suppression and fire alarms on the site.
•City Engineer Emails (10/29/24) – Provided comments on the watermain easement and
potential need for VBWD permit. Plans have since been revised to incorporate watermain
comments.
•Landscape Architect (11/25/24)– Provided comments that the tree preservation and
landscape plan can be accepted. They also provided a comment of support for the
variance request given the surrounding green space.
•MN DNR- No Comment Provided.
FINDINGS:
Conditional Use Permit Findings #1 (Pickleball Courts): City Code Section 105.12.290(a)
provides findings required for Conditional Use Permit approval. Staff recommends the
following findings:
1. The proposed use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety,
comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. The
conditional use permit should not be detrimental to or endanger the public health,
safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or City. The
applicant is proposing adding fencing and nets for sound mitigation. The closest
residential property is ~600 ft away.
2.The use or development conforms to the City of Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan.
Outdoor athletic uses conform to the City of Lake Elmo’s Comprehensive Plan,
which recognizes a Golf Course on the land formerly known as Tartan Park as a
local and regional amenity that the City wishes to maintain.
3. The use or development is compatible with the existing neighborhood.
The use is compatible with the existing neighborhood and should provide an
additional healthy recreation opportunity for users.
4. The proposed use meets all specific development standards for such use listed in
Article IX specific performance standards. With the approval of the variance, the
conditional use permit meets all specific development standards of 105.12.540.
5. If the proposed use is in a flood plain management or shoreland area, the proposed
use meets all the specific standards for such use listed in Chapter 105.12.1260
(Shoreland Regulations) and Title 100 (Flood Plain Management).
This property is within a flood zone. However, the land use table lists base district
uses as an allowed use, subject to a Conditional Use Permit.
4
6. The proposed use will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be
compatible in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general
vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area.
The proposed pickleball courts are designed to be compatible through spacing,
screening, and landscaping. The character of the general vicinity should not be
changed.
7. The proposed use will not be hazardous or create a nuisance as defined under this
Chapter to existing or future neighboring structures.
The closest home to the east is over 600 ft. away from the proposed courts. The
applicant is proposing fence netting and landscaping to buffer the use. Staff believe
that the spacing and mitigation techniques are sufficient to prevent any potential
nuisances.
8. The proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services.
The pickleball courts should be adequately served by essential public facilities and
services.
9. The proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for

glare or odors. The courts will not include lighting. The applicant is proposing
fence netting and landscaping to buffer the use.
11. Vehicular approaches to the property, where present, will not create traffic congestion
or interfere with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares.
Vehicular approaches to the property are not proposed to be changed and the
courts should not create traffic congestion. Because it is anticipated that some
users will walk, cycle, or take golf-carts in addition to using vehicles, the pickleball
courts are not deemed to cause excessive traffic.
The proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or
scenic feature of major importance. The proposed use will not result in the
destruction, loss or damage of the natural environment. The site is already subject
to recreational and commercial uses.

Variance Findings: An applicant must establish and demonstrate compliance with the
variance criteria set forth in Lake Elmo City Code Section 105.12.320 before the City may
grant an exception or modification to city code requirements. These criteria are listed
below, along with comments from Staff about the applicability of these criteria to the
applicant’s request. Staff recommends the following findings:
1) Practical Difficulties. A variance to the provision of this chapter may be granted by the
Board of Adjustment upon the application by the owner of the affected property where
the strict enforcement of this chapter would cause practical difficulties because of
circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration and then only when
it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of this
chapter. Definition of practical difficulties - “Practical difficulties” as used in
connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner proposes to
use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by an official control.
The lot is an existing legal nonconformity in terms of impervious surface and uniquely
shaped (barbell), which encloses the nonresidential activities in the Golf Course
Community. Nonresidential/commercial are anticipated in a golf course of this size.
The GCC code does not differentiate between the residential and nonresidential uses in
the zoning district for impervious surface requirements, although both are required to
compose a golf course community.
2) Unique Circumstances. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to
the property not created by the landowner.
The subject property is the location for parking for the surrounding golf course,
clubhouse, amenities, and administrative spaces and as such, it is necessary for the
subject property to contain greater impervious coverage. The function of the golf
course requires the whole set of parcels; the golf course landscape parcels cannot
function as intended without the clubhouse parcel, and vice versa.
3) Character of Locality. The proposed variance will not alter the essential character of the
locality in which the property in question is located.
The variance will not impact the essential character of the area. The subject property
is surrounded by a pervious golf course, which the subject property provides parking
and other facilities for. The overall impervious coverage increase for the parcel
holistically should not alter the essential character of the community.
4) Adjacent Properties and Traffic. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate
supply of light and air to properties adjacent to the property in question or substantially
increase the congestion of the public streets or substantially diminish or impair property
values within the neighborhood.
The subject property is adequately buffered from residential properties through green
space and landscaping and as such the variance should not impair adjacent
properties.

Written Statements
a. Owner of Record:
Royal Golf Club, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company. 11455 20th Street North,
Lake Elmo, MN 55042, Phone: 651-505-9051
Managers/Directors: Hollis Cavner
Authorized Agents/Representatives: John Parsons, 11455 20th Street North, Lake Elmo,
MN 55042, Phone: 651-505-9051
b. Site Data: The Property address is 11441 20th Street North, Lake Elmo, MN 55042. The
current zoning of the Property is Golf Course Community. The Property is approximately
10.9 acres (476,865 SF). The PID is 25.029.21.12.0010. The current legal description is
Lot 1, Block 1, The Royal Golf Club Pool and Fitness, Washington County, MN. Land is
currently used as part of a golf course and fitness center, specifically, this parcel includes,
a maintenance facility/storage building and clubhouse serving the existing golf course, a
drive way to access the existing clubhouse and a parking lot to serve the clubhouse and
golf course.
c. City Code Provisions Seeking Variance From: Lake Elmo City Code, Section 105.12.720,
Table 10-2 – Maximum Impervious Coverage for GCC Districts
d. Written Description of Proposal: The proposal is to permit the property to have a greater
maximum impervious coverage percentage that permitted by the City Code. Allowing such
greater maximum impervious coverage would allow the Royal Golf Club to (i) construct
an addition on to the existing Clubhouse, the exterior of such addition will mirror the
existing Clubhouse, which said addition will be approximately 5,400 square feet; and (ii)
to construct an outdoor recreational space to be located to the north of the existing Pool
and Fitness Center, between Hole 14 of the Golf Course and the existing parking lot, which
said new outdoor recreational space will be approximately 3,861 square feet and will
include pickleball courts. Specifically, the applicant seeks to have a variance from the City
Code to allow for a maximum impervious coverage on the property in excess of what is
permitted under the City Code. Based on site plans provided by applicant’s engineer,
applicant would need to be permitted 56.31% impervious coverage as opposed to 30%.
e. Narrative on Pre-Application Discussions: The applicant was notified by the City Planner
of a potential need for a variance for maximum impervious coverage during the City’s
review of the Royal Golf Club’s CUP application to permit construction of an addition to
the existing clubhouse and a outdoor recreational facility. Following review of additional
information and plan provided by the Royal Golf Club, the City Planner notified the Royal
Golf Club of the need to request a variance from the maximum impervious coverage
requirements of the City Code. Prior to being notified of the need to request a variance, the
issue had not been brought to the applicant’s attention.
f. Practical Difficulties: Strict enforcement of Lake Elmo City Code, Section 105.12.720,
Table 10-2 – Maximum Impervious Coverage for GCC Districts would cause practical
difficulties for various reasons. First, the existing impervious coverage of the parcel is
greater than 30%, and a reduction of the parcel’s impervious coverage to be below 30% is
not feasible. Second, the parcel is unique in shape and was constructed to be situated almost
entirely within the boundary of surrounding parcels which make up the majority of the golf
course which the subject parcel serves. Specifically, the subject parcel includes (i) the
maintenance facilities and storage shop which houses the maintenance equipment and other
golf course equipment necessary for the golf course to operate, (ii) the clubhouse and
administrative offices of the golf course, and (iii) the driveway and parking lot which
provides access to the shop, the clubhouse, and the golf course in general. The subject
parcel was designed and laid out so as to be as de minimis in nature as it could be, while
still adequately serving the access, parking, and operational needs of the surrounding golf
course. Additionally, the subject parcel was laid out in a manner which would permit access
between the clubhouse and administrative offices and 20th Street N without the need of
easement or access agreements. Most City Code requirements were designed with more
standard lot shapes in mind, and such requirements do not always apply well to uniquely
shaped parcels.
g. Unique Circumstances: The subject property is subject to Lake Elmo City Code Section
105.12.410, which requires that due to the subject property being a golf course, it must
maintain at least 5 spaces per hole plus additional space for meeting or restaurant facilities.
As such, the subject property is required, at a minimum, to maintain a certain amount of
impervious coverage to support to surrounding golf course. Being that the subject property
is the location of all of the parking for the surrounding golf course, as well as the site of
the necessary maintenance facilities, clubhouse and administrative offices serving the golf
course and the access road to get to such parking and other facilities, it is necessary for the
subject property to contain greater impervious coverage. The unique shape of the subject
parcel was designed to be de minimis in nature as to not have a greater impact on the
surrounding golf course or residential community, while still providing the surrounding
golf course facility with the necessary parking and access as required by the City Code.
h. Essential Character: The variance, if granted, would not alter the essential character of the
locality. Although applicant is requesting an increase to the maximum impervious coverage
on the subject property, because the subject property is surrounded by an almost entirely
pervious golf course which the subject property provides parking and other facilities for,
the overall impervious coverage for the “neighborhood” as a whole would not be altered
in any significant manner. Although the subject property is roughly 10.9 acres in area, it
provides the parking, driveway access and operational facilities for the surrounding golf
course and pool & fitness center, which combined is additional roughly 182.2 acres for a
total of roughly 193.1 acres. Altogether, the subject parcel is roughly 5.6% of the total area
that makes up the golf course facility. If the maximum impervious coverage was increased
to 60% of the subject parcel, that would equal roughly 6.36 acres (10.9 acres * 60%), which
would equal roughly 3.1% of the entire golf course facility. As such, an increase in the
maximum impervious coverage on the subject parcel should be considered insignificant
compared to the entire golf course facility, and should therefore not be considered to alter
the essential character of the locality.
Variance Request- Practical Difficulties:
(1) Reasonableness: The Royal Golf Club’s proposed use of the property is reasonable in that
provided the City issues a Conditional Use Permit, as requested by the Royal Golf Club, the
proposed addition to the existing clubhouse and the proposed outdoor recreational space would
otherwise be consistent with (i) the existing land use, (ii) the City of Lake Elmo’s Comprehensive
Plan, and (iii) is consistent with the existing neighborhood.
(2) Unique Circumstances: There are unique circumstances associated with the property
which are not caused by the applicant, including (i) the odd shape of the property, and (ii) the need
for a large parking lot to serve the property and surrounding parcels.
(3) Essential Character of Neighborhood: The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential
character of the locality.

Good Afternoon,
I received the attached updated plans from Justin Olson of Carlson McCain. By reducing the
pickleball courts by 0.75-feet off all sides of the court, we are now below the 6,000 square feet
permit trigger for VBWD.
Please let me know if you these updated plans are acceptable.
Sophia- If this is sufficient, please let me know if this would change anything from my original
submittal or if it would be looked at as an amendment to it. If needed, I can have new plans
printed with the updated impervious surface number displayed.
Please let me know if anything else is needed from me at this time.
Thank you both for your help,

Sophia,
Please see the engineering plan review comments below for the Royal Golf Club CUP for a
new Pickleball facility located at 11441 20th St N PID 25.029.21.12.0010.
1. No public improvements are proposed or appear to be impacted by the Addition.
However the improvements are proposed immediately adjacent to a City owned and
maintained watermain. The plans should be revised to clearly show the limits of the
watermain easement (easement line labeled and dimensioned on the plans).
2. A plan note should be added to the plans to prohibit any field changes that would result
in an easement encroachment.
3. No stormwater management permit is required by the City as the new impervious
surface is less than 43,560 SF. However, the VBWD threshold for requiring a permit is
only 6,000 SF. The new impervious surface for both the Clubhouse Addition and the
Pickleball Court is 6,162 SF. The applicant should be directed to consult with the
VBWD to determine if a permit is needed.
4. Please let me know if there is any further review requested at this time.

2024; and
NOW, THEREFORE, based on the testimony elicited and information received, the

Elmo Zoning Ordiance, Section 105.12.290.
2) That all submission requirements of Section 105.12.290 have been met by the
Applicant.
3) That the proposed Conditional Use Permit is for the addition of two pickleball courts.
4) The proposed use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety,
comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. The
conditional use permit should not be detrimental to or endanger the public health,
safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or City. The
applicant is proposing adding fencing and nets for sound mitigation. The closest
residential property is ~600 ft away.
5) The use or development conforms to the City of Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan.

which recognizes a Golf Course on the land formerly known as Tartan Park as a
local and regional amenity that the City wishes to maintain.
6) The use or development is compatible with the existing neighborhood.
The use is compatible with the existing neighborhood and should provide an
additional healthy recreation opportunity for users.

9) The proposed use will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be
compatible in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general
vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area.
The proposed pickleball courts are designed to be compatible through spacing,
screening, and landscaping. The character of the general vicinity should not be
changed.
10) The proposed use will not be hazardous or create a nuisance as defined under this
Chapter to existing or future neighboring structures.

glare or odors. The courts will not include lighting. The applicant is proposing
fence netting and landscaping to buffer the use.
14)Vehicular approaches to the property, where present, will not create traffic congestion
or interfere with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares.
Vehicular approaches to the property are not proposed to be changed and the
courts should not create traffic congestion. Because it is anticipated that some
users will walk, cycle, or take golf-carts in addition to using vehicles, the pickleball
courts are not deemed to cause excessive traffic.
15)The proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or
scenic feature of major importance. The proposed use will not result in the
destruction, loss or damage of the natural environment. The site is already subject
to recreational and commercial uses.

RESOLUTION NO. 2024-126
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE TO ALLOW 56.31% IMPERVIOUS
SURFACE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 11441 20TH STREET NORTH
WHEREAS, the City of Lake Elmo is a municipal corporation organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, Royal Golf Club LLC, 11455 20th Street North, Lake Elmo, MN 55042 (the
“Applicant”), have submitted an application to the City of Lake Elmo (the “City”) to request a
variance request to allow impervious surface coverage of 56.31% where a maximum of 30% is
allowed; and
WHEREAS, notice of a public hearing has been published, mailed, and posted pursuant
to the Lake Elmo Zoning Code, Section 103.00.120; and
WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo Planning Commission held a public hearing on said matter
on November 13, 2024; and
WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo Planning Commission has submitted its report and
recommendation of approval of the variance to the City Council as part of a Staff Memorandum
dated December 3, 2024; and
WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed the Variance at its meeting held on December 3,
2024 and made the following findings of fact:
1.That the procedures for obtaining a variance are found in Section 105.12.320 of the Lake
Elmo Zoning Code.
2.That all submission requirements of Section 105.12.320 and 105.12.1260 of the Lake
Elmo Zoning Code have been met by the Applicant.
3.That the proposed variance includes the following components:
a.The applicant propose to construct two pickleball courts and add an expansion to the
existing club house, adding 5,979 square feet of impervious surface. The proposed
additions will bring the impervious surface to 56.31% which is over the allowed
maximum of 30%.
4.Practical Difficulties. The owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner
not permitted by an official control:
The lot is an existing legal nonconformity in terms of impervious surface and uniquely
shaped (barbell), which encloses the nonresidential activities in the Golf Course
Community. Nonresidential/commercial are anticipated in a golf course of this size.
The GCC code does not differentiate between the residential and nonresidential uses in
the zoning district for impervious surface requirements, although both are required to
compose a golf course community.
5.Unique Circumstances. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances not created
by the landowner:
The subject property is the location for parking for the surrounding golf course,
clubhouse, amenities, and administrative spaces and as such, it is necessary for the
subject property to contain greater impervious coverage. The function of the golf
course requires the whole set of parcels; the golf course landscape parcels cannot
function as intended without the clubhouse parcel, and vice versa.
6. Character of Locality. The proposed variance will not alter the essential character of
the locality in which the property in question is located.
The variance will not impact the essential character of the area. The subject property
is surrounded by a pervious golf course, which the subject property provides parking
and other facilities for. The overall impervious coverage increase for the parcel
holistically should not alter the essential character of the community.
7.Adjacent Properties and Traffic. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate
supply of light and air to properties adjacent to the property in question or substantially
increase the congestion of the public streets or substantially diminish or impair property
values within the neighborhood.
The subject property is adequately buffered from residential properties through green
space and landscaping and as such the variance should not impair adjacent
properties.
DECISION
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, and based upon the
information received and the above Findings, that the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo
hereby approves the Applicants’ request to allow for a variance to increase the maximum
impervious surface, subject to the following conditions:
1. The variance is for an impervious surface total of 56.31% of the lot.
2. If approved, this variance shall expire if the work does not commence within 12 months
of the date of granting the variance.
Passed and duly adopted this 3rd day of December 2024 by the City Council of the City of Lake
Elmo, Minnesota.
