requesting the public hearing be opened, any public input be received and the public
hearing be tabled to the June l 11h Planning Commission meeting.
(Armstrong arrived 7:05 p.m.)
M/S/P, Roth/Deziel to table the application to the June l lth Planning Commission
meeting. Vote: 9:0.
Zoning Code 'T'ext Amendment: South of 10'h Street Holding Districts
Chairman Ptacek gave a background of the rezoning process. He stated that the city
updated the Comprehensive Plan and the zoning needs to be updated to be in
conformance with that plan. Public input was already taken on the Comprehensive Plan
and that would not be up for discussion as a part of the meeting. The meeting would be
for any comments on the rezoning districts or the zoning map.
Senior Planner Gozola stated that fourteen new zoning districts are being created. The
city must guide the development of properties now to allow development in the future to
be able to occur in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The only changes within
the district requirements at this time would be the restriction on the ability of a property
to subdivide. Properties within the proposed holding districts would not be allowed to
subdivide into parcels of less than 20 acres, or 40 acres as is the case in agriculturally
zoned property.
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; May 30, 2007
Senior Planner Gozola continued by reviewing the individual districts and the main
differences were highlighted for each. The future rezoning out of the holding districts
would be based on a two pronged test -- when sewer would be available and when the
staging plan has the property guided as such. If both are met, the property could be
rezoned out of the proposed holding district.
Tim Montgomery, 4102 River Rd S., Afton
Mr. Montgomery stated that he owns 59 acres along the I-94 corridor. The property is
adjacent to Link recreational and Lampert Lumber. He thinks the proposed zoning is too
restrictive of a use for the property. I -Ie does not believe it is consistent with adjoining
properties. He is concerned that it will be difficult for a developer to use the property as
residential and would have trouble paying for the sewer. Although "Integrated
Commercial" is not defined anywhere, it is mentioned within the Lake Elmo
Comprehensive Plan.
Chairman Ptacek stated that the future use of the property is not up for debate at this
public hearing.
Senior Planner Gozola said that in this process informational meetings were held. That
type of feedback is important and will be forwarded on to the City Council. However,
those issues are not exactly germane to the night's discussion.
Dill Weber, MFR,4
He passed on his right to speak.
Bruce Miller, MFC properties
Mr. Miller stated he owns two parcels on Feats Avenue. He said the southern parcel is
only 5 acres, but there is a minimum 20. He wanted to know what he could do with the
property.
Senior Planner Gozola stated that Mr. Miller owns two parcels that have inconsistencies
made on them in a previous zoning process and the Comprehensive Plan. The northern
property is currently zoned limited business, but is guided for residential and the southern
property is zoned residential but guided. limited business. In the future, the city would
want to consider switching the properties to allow limited business on the southern
property and residential on the northern property.
Mr. Miller stated he did not see a holding district for the northern property. He submitted
a copy of his tax statements as he has been paying taxes as a commercial property for
years.
Commissioner Deziel asked if it is possible to zone across a parcel.
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; May 30, 2007 2
WE
Senior Planner Gozola stated. that technically by law, it is possible to do so, but as a
planner he would recommend against it. He also said there are a couple properties that
are incorrectly guided for Public Facilities. Staff will follow up with those changes.
Commissioner Deziel said there appears to be a mistake at Mr. Montgomery's property.
He has brought this up before to previous staff, the commission and the city council.
Chairman Ptacek said the guiding plan could not be changed at the meeting at this time.
M/S/P, Roth/Van Zandt to move the rezoning districts be forwarded to Council as
submitted by staff. Vote: 9:0.
Zoning Map Amendment
Planner Gozola stated that staff overlayed two existing maps already approved by the
city. The future land use map and the current zoning map resulted in the proposed zoning
map. There are a few parcels that have split guidance in the Comprehensive Plan and a
property incorrectly guided for public facilities. The property owners have been
informed and the issues will be addressed in the future.
Commissioner Roth asked if the little parcel right on 1-94 and Lake Elmo Avenue is
currently zoned PF.
Senior Planner Gozola stated it is currently PF, but he is unsure why. He will look into it.
Commissioner Fliflet asked why the map shows the Forest and Stonegate subdivisions
differently than the other areas.
Senior Planner Gozola said the Forest technically has two lots that could be subdivided
according to the existing zoning and this would ensure that it would not be further
subdivided at this time. Also, the subdivision is currently zoned incorrectly. The lots in
the Stonegate subdivision were not divisible.

M/S/P, Roth/Schneider to move the zoning district map be forwarded on to the City
Council as presented. Vote: 9:0.
Chairman Ptacek said that the districts and the zoning map will be at the June 19th
Council meeting.
Senior Planner Gozola said he would like to alert everyone to a mailing list for updates
via email and notices of upcoming meetings.

`Coning Code Text Amendment: South of 10th Street Holding Districts
Chairman Ptacek gave a background of the rezoning process. Public input was already
taken on the Comprehensive Plan and that would not be up for discussion as a part of the
meeting. The meeting would be for any comments on the rezoning districts or the zoning
map.
Senior Planner Gozola introduced four new zoning districts: Village Residential —
Agriculture (VR -A), Village Residential — General Business (VR -GB), Village
Residential — One Family Residential (VR -R1), and Village Residential — Rural
Residential (VR -RR). The holding districts would restrict development of the parcels
until sewer is available to the properties and as identified by the Staging Plan within the
Comprehensive Plan. The holding district would restrict the ability of the property to
subdivide. The minimum lot size in the holding district is 40 acres in VR -A and 20 acres
in VR -GB, VR -R1, and VR -RR. He stated that those areas guided for village residential
in the Comprehensive Plan are those proposed for rezoning into the holding districts.
(McGinnis arrived 7:06 p.m.)
Senior Planner Gozola stated that the format of the proposed districts is relatively close to
that of what is currently in the code.
Warren Schmidt, 3240 Lake Elmo Avenue
Mr. Schmidt asked if all of the parcels were being rezoned. There are six to eight acre
parcels near the airport being rezoned. He asked if there are any tax consequences at this
time.
Senior Planner Gozola said that all the parcels in color on the map as shown in the packet
are being rezoned. The only difference would be the development options at this time.

.Public Hearing Continuance: Variances at 896137 1h Street
Planner Matzek explained that the property owner at 896137 1h Street North was applying
for three variances: from the 1.5 acre minimum lot size, the 60% requirement outlined in
300.09 of city code, and the construction of a septic system on less than one acre. The
property was previously used for residential purposes, but the house was torn down in
2005 because it was deemed a public nuisance. The current property owner would like to
build a single family residential home and septic system on the site.
Commissioner Helwig asked if the well on the site had been sealed. He would like to
make sure the applicant places the house in a conforming location with the well..
Thomas DuFresne, applicant
Mr. DuFresne stated that he is unsure if Washington County sealed the well, but they
were very thorough in removing the basement, so he believes they would have done that
as well. He was told the well was sealed, but does not have documentation of it.
No one spoke.
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes -- June 11, 2007
THE CHAIRMAN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:16 P.M.
/S/P, Helwig/Pel.letier, to recommend. approval of the variances with conditions as
outlined in the staff report. Note: 7:0.
PublicHearing: Variances at 8186 Hill Trail North
Planner Matzek explained that the property owner's house burned down in January of
2007. The owner has since applied for a building permit to rebuild the non -conforming
house in the same footprint and same height, as allowed by city code. In the rebuilding
of the house, the property owner would like to make three additions. The property owner
is looking to add a screened porch, a bathroom. addition, and a garage extension. Because
the entire house is within the 100 foot shoreland setback, any additions would require at
least one variance. The variances required for the three additions would be from the
lakeshore setback, from front yard setback, and septic system setback from the structure.
The proposed garage extension would create a new non -conformity to the front yard
setback.
William Rust, Rust Architecture, applicant's representative
Mr. Rust stated that Mr. Paul's home unfortunately burned down. In going through the
plan to rebuild, they wanted to make a few updates such as trying to move a laundry
room up to the upper level of the house to accommodate an aging resident. They would
be open to trying to negotiate, but thought the six feet would be amenable. The bump out
of the master bathroom was to accommodate some views of the lake. That side of the
house would be more comfortable. The screen porch is almost a necessity with the
mosquitoes on the lake.
Chairman Ptacek stated that the commission must follow the city code and unfortunately,
they can not always take into consideration the current resident.
Jinn Dillon, 8190 hill Trail N
Mr. Dillon stated that he is a neighbor of Mr. Paul and would encourage the commission
to allow all three additions he is asking for. Mr. Paul could use a main floor laundry
room. He thought the screened porch would be the issue. His house would be the only
one impacted by the screened porch addition and he is in favor of it.
Commissioner Van Zandt asked how far back the existing neighbor garages are from the
roadway.
Commissioner Deziel said he thinks that many of the neighboring homes are within the
front yard setback, which is a relevant issue. Ile would like to look at the three additions
separately.
Lake Elmo Planninb Commission Minutes — June 11, 2007
Commissioner Pelletier said she went to site today and looked at the property. She is not
in favor of creating a new non -conformity.
Commissioner Helwig said he would like to see a discussion of a hardship other than that
created by the city.
Commissioner Deziel said that the lakeshore ordinances were put in place after the homes
were built and therefore the difficulties on the lot were brought by the city.
Commissioner Fliflet said she sees a main floor laundry room as something more
mainstream now such as a two car garage.
Commissioner Lyzenga stated that it is a unique situation in that it is a rebuild.
Screened porch addition
M/S/P, Pelletier/Deziel motion to approve the screened porch. Mote: 7:0.
Bathroom expansion addition
M/S/P, Deziel/Van Zandt motion to approve expansion of bathroom. Mote: 5:2.
Garage expansion addition
M/S/P, Jan Zandt/ Fliflet motion to approve garage expansion. Mote: 4:3.
Commissioner Fliflet commented she is in favor of the garage expansion because it is not
towards the lake.
City Council Updates
Planner Matzek said the City Council authorized the search for filling the position of
planning director on June 5' . On June 7th, the Council held an informational meeting on
the infrastructure from 1-94 to 30th Street for the sewer, trail, storm sewer, street, and
other improvements.

'TEM: Zoning Code Text Amendment — Limited Business Sewered
Residential Holding District
REQUESTED BY: City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Ben Gozola, Senior Planner
REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
Kelli Matzek, Assistant City Planner
Jerry Filla, City Attorney
PURPOSE:
To create the HD-LB-SRD, Holding district to govern two of the properties to the south
of loth Street.
The HD-LB-SRD holding district was inadvertently missed during the initial process
as a result of staff's concurrent updating of the City's official zoning map. Both
properties in question were depicted as "Highway Business" (HB) on the City's
zoning map and staff had prepared a holding district accordingly (HD-HB-SRD).
After reviewing all zoning ordinances dating back to 1995, however, we discovered
that the correct zoning for these parcels was actually Limited Business (LB), While
we correctly eliminated the unnecessary HD-HB-SRD holding district from the final
list, we neglected to replace such with the needed HD-LB-SRD language. This
follow-up public hearing will address this oversight,
r Attached you will find the following informatiom
- A copy of the proposed zoning code text for the HD-LB-SRD zoning district.
- An official ordinance showing how the proposed language would fit into city
code.
- A south of lot'h
Street zoning map identifying the two HD-LB-SRD properties.
Neither of the parcels being zoned HD-LB-SRD are subdividable under their current
zoning of Limited Business (LB), However, in working with the City attorney, it was
determined that a holding district is still advisable given the proposed change to the
future land use.
ACTION REQUESTED:
® Recommendation of approval for the proposed HD-LB-SRD zoning code language.
The Limited Business Sewered Residential Holding District (HD-LB-SRD) is
intended to regulate land use within limited business areas planned and staged for
sewered residential development. Areas zoned HD-LB-SRD will be rezoned upon
the availability of sewer service and when consistent with the "Development Staging
Plan" contained in the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan. The future zoning district
regulations will be consistent with the comprehensive plan guidance of the property
for sewered residential use.
All regulations governing the Limited Business (LB) zoning district shall also apply
to properties zoned Limited Business Sewered Residential Holding District (HD-LB-
SRD) except as outlined in this section.
3. Permitted Uses
Permitted uses and the general requirements of such in the HD-LB-SRD zoning
district shall be the same as in the Limited Business (LB) zoning district.
Conditionally permitted uses and the general requirements of such in the HD-LB-
SRD zoning district shall be the same as in the Limited Business (LB) zoning district.
Accessory uses and the general requirements of such in the HD-LB-SRD zoning
district shall be the same as in the Limited Business (LB) zoning district.
The minimum district requirements in the Limited Business Sewered Residential
Holding District (HD-LB-SRD) shall be the same as in the Limited Business (LB)
zoning district except for minimum lot size which shall be a minimum of a nominal
twenty (20) acres [a twenty acre parcel not reduced by more than ten percent (10%)
and/or a twenty acre parcel located on a corner or abutting a street on two sides not
reduced by more than fifteen percent (15%) due to road right-of-way and survey
variations]. Lots that were in existence prior to 7-1-07 which are conforming to the
minimum lot size standard of the Limited Business (LB) zoning district shall be
viewed as conforming to minimum lot size.

ITEM- Zoning Code Text Amendment — Prohibiting Open Space
Preservation Development in Holding Districts
REQUESTED BY- Planning Commission
SUBMITTED BY: Ben Gozoo.Senior Planner
REVIEWED BY� Susan Hoyt' City Administrator
KeUi K4atzek,Assistant City Planner
Jerry FiUa.City Attorney
PURPOSE:
= To prohibit open space preservation development inholding districts with the base
zoning of Rural Residential (RR) and Rural Estates (RE),
= As you know, the reason for creating holding districts was to restrict development into
of parcels ofless than twenty (20) acres in size. Unfortunately, the adopted holding
district language failed to prohibit OP development options in all holding districts
being created onRRand REzoned properties.
= While staff believes we should have caught this during the original process, there is
good reason for the oversight. |nediting ordinances, staff must identify language to
be added and/or deleted from existing text. |nthe case of{}Pdevelopment inRR
and RE districts, neither are listed as conditionally permitted in the applicable
sections ofcode. VVeonly know {)Pdevelopment iaonoption based unthe City's
recent practice (OP developments have been approved in such areas over the past
few years), and our knowledge of an uncodified ordinance that currently does not
appear inthe zoning code text.
=
Oversights like this will continue to occur until such time as the zoning chapter of
Lake Elmo City Code iafinally reoodifiedtmincorporate all ordinance changes over
the past 1O+years,
Recodifioatkmof the zoning chapter was one of the first recommendations made by
your new planning staff upon joining the City, and the process to do so is currently
undenmay. American Legal Publishing, the company that handles all Lake Elmo
codifications, has gone through every ordinance passed since the last update and
has sent staff a draft copy for our review. Five pages ofcomments and questions
accompanied the draft. Staff will complete afull review ofthe comments and may
need to return to the planning commission and/or city council for clarification on past
ordinances itneeded. Also note that staff will need toconduct afull review ofthe
draft codification at we discovered that OP development is still not listed as a
conditionally permitted use in either the RR or RE districts—even though we know an
ordinance was approved authorizing such,
