St. Croix Regional Family Center - Mayor reported the Early Childhood Ed project of the center wants to go ahead and will be approaching the school board.

Animal Control RFP The Administrator provided a draft Animal Control RFP and a budget sheet. He said a number of cities the same size of Lake Elmo are looking at vendor services and some have CSO's. He said he has met with three applicants, Kathi Pelnar, Mike Smith, and Animal Control Services out of White Bear Lake. In regard to the wording in the RFP ... shall respond "as soon as practicable", Council member Conlin asked why can't we insert if the situation is threatening, safety issue, we expect response be in such (?) time. Mayor Johnston had a concern that people weren't calling in because there was no response. It should state our average response is ....so people understand we are responding. Council member Johnson said if it is an emergency due to safety reasons, the resident should call 911 and not the ACO. The Administrator stated he was comfortable with the language in the Animal Control RFR Mayor Johnston left the meeting at 8:10 p.m. to attend the Fire Dept. Relief Assoc. meeting. 5. Report on Old Villa¢e Plan Presentation The City Administrator reported on Friday, February 17tr', we will try to get these two plans married and then there will be a presentation to the Council. We are looking at the March 6 h council meeting for Bob Engstrom to give a presentation and council will give direction. The Administrator said this council will then send this plan to the Planning Commission for a Comp Plan amendment or it can go to a workshop. Council member DeLapp said the City needs to have an open house. Council member Conlin said she is disappointed that we did not get this plan in a timely manner. It seems we have had to force a deadline because of the Met Council. Council member Johnson agreed with the lack of updates and communication. Council member Smith said she stayed in touch with Marty and Chuck and they moved forward as quickly as possible. There has been so much thrown on our plates. Council member Johnson asked about the contract we have with them and who has the authority to change the contract... certain dollar amount in a certain timeframe. The Administrator said there is no change in the dollars. Council member DeLapp said he told everyone we would have a presentation in November and asked if there has been contact with Engstrom and staff. The Administrator said there has been contact and the owners retained their own planner the same time we did. Council member Conlin said we all went into this understanding there were many parties involved and Engstrom thought he could put it all together. She felt LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 14, 2006 neighborhood parks be used for playfield type activities he advised the Council that most of the organized and city-wide activities at community play fields cannot be accommodated at most neighborhood parks without negative impacts on the neighborhood. There may be some neighborhood parks of a size and location that might host those activities without negatively impacting the neighborhood, but that strategy is not good park planning. Council member DeLapp pointed out there are 175 acres of 3M property in Lake Ehno and if developed park dedication would be available from that site. Margaret Carlson said she was surprised 3M would give land for a specific use and suggested we should go back and look at this. She said she would be surprised that Oakdale would not place lights there. She said if there is a Task Force to review this playfield proposal she suggests having an independent body on the task force. Bob Helwig said he supported Council members Smith's suggestion to use the open space in front of Sunfish Park as Sunfish is a public park. Council member Conlin stated there is broad criteria for selecting location for parks in our Comp Plan that have to be looked at and to keep in mind the trails system and how the trails would work for kids to ride bikes or walk to the playfields. A resident said traffic on Stillwater Blvd. would have to have some traffic control and that Raleigh creek cannot hold anymore runoff. He asked what about the land next to the public works building that 3M owns. It would be cheaper maintenance if playfields were next to the public works building. Crary Carlson, Tablyn Park resident, stated Oakdale is contentious and no matter what happens there will be lights there if Oakdale wants lights. He said when Marty talked to Oakdale it was just an idea and he agrees with Council member Conlin we need to decide if the City wants a park in that location. Scott Deutsch, Lake Elmo Heights, said we are looking at it and some trees will be blocking the lights. They call it a park which we think of as picnic, etc, but Oakdale is really talking about a sport complex. 5. Manning/Highwav 36 Intersection Improvement The City Planner said a matter has come up on how to deal with the intersection of Manning Avenue and TH36. He said that he and the City Engineer were called down to meet with Washington County, MnDOT and was told MnDOT would like us to build a 3 or 4 lane intersection. The City Engineer recommended that a feasibility report would be preformed to determine the intersection configuration and cost and financing. This item will be brought to the Feb 21�` Council meeting. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 14, 2006 Joan Ziertman asked what type of park we are going to have and agreed that the City was putting the cart before the horse. She said the City should decide if we want a park there. She voiced her concern on the amount of money paid for a park for Oakdale residents and maybe we should think about where we would want parks for our residents. These items should be discussed before we enter into an agreement. Bob Helwig, Planning Commission Chair, stated that this proposal is the tail wagging the dog. The City does need ball fields, but let us get the right land. He suggested looking in the Old Village Area plan to place 4-5 new fields. He noted that the site proposed is sizable, and would support many houses toward the mandated 2030 population of 24,000. Council member Smith said there would be 12 houses on the 26 acres of the proposed site. Council member Conlin said she observed that 3M owns the land in Oakdale, and they could give land to Oakdale for the playfield instead of Lake Elmo land. She said that the Oakdale Athletic Association is a powerful force and will dictate what they want in a joint playfield, including lighted fields. She said she views this to be primarily an Oakdale park for its ballfields. Terry Arrons asked why this Lake Elmo land was being donated when 3M has so much other land in Oakdale. He asked why the City can't update the existing parks we have now. Mayor Johnston said you better decide what you need, define it and work it down; and that it would be an error to rush to judgment on the proposal without the benefit of a Lake Elmo needs analysis. He said the City should restart the process regarding the playfield proposal. Council member Johnson said she doesn't quarrel with the high need for fields, but feels the City should do a need assessment, and then decide where we are going to place multi- use fields. She observed that if the City can't meet our playfield needs now, what we are going to do when we are 24,000 population. The Administrator said that this needs to go back to the parks commission to determine the need for playfields, and where would they be. Council member Smith pointed out the Parks Dept. talked about a possible skating rink/winter activity in the Sunfish Park area and asked what about the 20 acres in front of Sunfish Park to use as temporary fields. Planner Dillerud said he has provided the Parks Commission a needs assessment done by Oakdale that could act as a process guide for the Lake Elmo Park Plan update. He noted that you don't do an updated park plan before you do a land use plan. Now that the 2030 land use plan is all but completed, the Parks Commission is on their way with the Park Plan update —including community playfields. In response suggestion that the LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 14, 2006 This is an opportunity for new community playfields in the near term with minimal investment. Todd Bruchu said he would volunteer to serve on the task force. Steven Amasky stated he lives in Parkview Estates and is active in the Oakdale Athletic Association and that there is a dire need for baseball fields. He said most of the developments surrounding Parkview Estates go to 4622 schools and are in OAA. There are no borders for OAA. He said T-ball kids can play on grass fields and hat the gravel infield in Stonegate was too small. He thought this was a fantastic opportunity for Lake Elmo and thought any concerns could be addressed. Council member DeLapp stated the City of Oakdale has chosen to have parks in Lake Elmo and not in Oakdale because he thinks the City wants to develop. Park dedication is required and Oakdale has chosen park land in Lake Elmo. Larry Moody, who lives adjacent to this parcel; understands there are needs for fields, but this is not the right site for playfieids because this is a rolling hills parcel. He said the 26 acres may come free from 3M, but the earthmoving needed on the site will cost tremendously. He asked if Tablyn Park could be expanded. He said his own personal desire is not to have light pollution because then he cannot use his telescope at night. He said daily there are deer, a red fox family, and eagles and hawks use the trees to catch rodents and don't want to loose this. He believes 3M thinks this is less than ideal developable land. Rolf Larson, parks commissioner, stated there would be terracing issues, lighting can be designed and turned off early. This can be done true to the city's ordinance to take advantage of this opportunity. He added that if this parcel becomes a community park, care must be taken to protect the stream and grove of oaks along the south side of the parcel. Pat O'Malley said the trees are going to have to grow to shield the lights. He asked who is gong to govern. He said he has a daughter that played fast pitch and lights were not needed. He said the adult ball situation in Oakdale will be brought to Lake Elmo if we have lights. He added that it is Oakdale's problem there are no parks ... they should have not built so many houses. The City Administrator said there is no design feature to place lights in this field. He added we would always have equal say. Council member Smith said it does say a youth athletic complex in this draft agreement. Don Gustafson, who lives one block from Tablyn Park, said CSAH13 is like a race track with all the shopping malls. By adding ball fields, it's going to be a mess. He thought the City should talk about the creek with DNR LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 14, 2006 2 APPROVED MINUTES: April 18, 2006 LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES FEBRUARY 14, 2006 Mayor Johnston called the workshop to order at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers.

AGENDA Postponed Revisions to Fee Schedule and Insurance Premiums; Changed the order of the agenda. MfS/P DeLapp/Conlin — to approve the February 14, 2006 Council Workshop agenda, as amended. (Motion passed 5-0) 2. MINUTES: January 10, 2006 - Postponed Council member Johnson did not receive her mailed agenda/minmes. 3. Oakdale/Lake Elmo Community Playfield — Task Force Agreement The City Administrator reported on the history of the 3M donation of 26 acres located in Lake Elmo, how he read in the newspaper that there would be an Oakdale/Lake Elmo community playfield on Hand donated by 3M. He said he met with Oakdale representatives and talked about their thoughts for this playfield. He pointed out there would be zoning actions required from Lake Elmo. An agreement was drafted that would bring together City representatives to sit down to discuss items, with no strings attached, to get to the final decision. The Lake Elmo City council asked for more discussion at this workshop. The Planning Commission and Parks Commission both looked at this proposal and asked to go ahead and explore the options. Council member Conlin asked is this where we want a park. She said we have a needs assessment for planning a park with early public participation and forums to make sure the public wants it. This is a 26 acre parcel and we would only have 50 percent use. There are no public facilities nearby. She said we should consider pedestrian and vehicular traffic. She felt this is doing it backwards. Lake Elmo should decide if we want a park there and then decide if we want to share it with Oakdale. Todd Bruchu, Park Commissioner, stated with the current population we don't need more fields is inaccurate. He said he is active on Lake Elmo Baseball and loves the ball fields, but we are cramped. Lake Elmo Baseball is branching out of Lake Elmo into surrounding playfields. There were 213 kids signed up, three are not from Lake Elmo, and this will make 18 teams. He said a lit field can support 6 teams and an unlit field would support 4 teams. Youth baseball starts at age 10 thru 15 and then there are 16-18 yr.old teams. He has coached 9 years and has made nice improvements to the city fields. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 14, 2006 s :!

Hiring of Fire Chief. Engineer, Assistant Planner and Code Enforcement — reasonableness vs. absolutism Administrator Rafferty provided a summary of planned positions of the Fire Chief, Assistant City Planner, City Engineer, and Code Enforcement Officer, anticipated hire date and budgeted salary. Fire Chief. Administrator Rafferty explained that in order to provide a well managed fire department through a full time addition, five areas were sited for the Chief as needed for 2006 and into the future. In addition, a new job description was developed for the Chief's position, officer positions, and fire fighter. The Finance Director supported this position, pointed out savings to the City and provided a metro salary comparison for the Fire Chief position. Council member Smith indicated this permanent position is premature and fiscally irresponsible at this time. The Fire Chief said he would be more available for day -time response when asked by Council member Johnson if this full time position would help with the problem of daytime responders. Captain Pepin added that the Chief is also a "trainer" and this would allow the Department to have daytime drills with the Chief as a trainer. This item will be added to the January 17ei Council agenda. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES January 10, 2006 Administrator Rafferty noted that he would be asking a council member to work with him on future policy changes for the Fire Department employee handbook. Assistant City Planner: The City Administrator reported the City should get an assistant planner on board before the development season starts so the City needs to move forward. Also, the existing City Planner has indicated he may retire within 4 years. This item will be added to the January 17"' Council agenda. Citv Engineer: The City Administrator reported this would be an entry level engineer that will grow into this office. With the anticipated growth, this person would do some inspections and minor design when needed. This position will also be used to set up the engineering office at the Public Works Building, moving all documentation on site and work closely with the Public Works Department. This position will be funded by redirecting fees and workload to the new engineer. Anticipated hiring date is late April or early May. This item will be added to the January 17a' Council agenda. Code Enforcement Officer The City Administrator said a council workshop, possibly in March, is necessary dedicated strictly for code enforcement in order to classify as "quality of life issues" so that a description can be developed. He said the Washington County Sheriff indicated he would train a community service officer. Council member Smith stated in order for the City to enforce their codes, this osition will be needed in the future This item will not move forward to the January 179 Council agenda. 5. Oakdale/Lake Elmo Communitv Playfield The City Administrator reported he, Chuck DilIerud, Tom Bouthilet, Tom Prew, met with Oakdale representatives to discuss the 3M donation of 28 acres, by Ideal Avenue and Stillwater Boulevard for park development. There will be a joint ownership of land between Oakdale and Lake Elmo and develop a Joint Powers Board. There would be cost sharing arrangements of a 50150 split (design, construction, and maintenance). They are talking lights for the ball fields and would limit the playfield to only kids. The City Planner stated the issue arose as why do we need a community playfield on the west side of the community and didn't we think about having a community play field in the Old Village. The Planner said he did an investigation of cities with 24,000 population of needs for playfields. He said Oakdale has one community playfield with a population of 26,000 and that is not enough. He said we would reserve the site in the OId Village, but not build it, and concentrate developing at the 3M site. The City Administrator said he thought it was well worth contemplating. The City Planner said the opportunity is now, and there would be a 50150 cost split. Council member Johnson voiced her concern on financing and what would this mean to staffing. The Finance Director responded this park development would be paid through park LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES January 10, 2006 2 dedication fees. The Mayor said he was not sure if it is a good fit for half of the facility at 100 percent of the cost. He said he know the need is going to be there. Council member Conlin noted that the City of Oakdale is already there at 26,000 population, and their need is there now for use of fields. It will take Lake Elmo 25 years to get to 25,000 population. 6. Manning/Highway 36 Intersection Improvement The City Planner reported staff and the City Engineer are working with the state and county on this intersection improvement. The City Engineer recommended some signal adjustment and now the County wants inbound lanes and more. The Planner asked what sort of equities the City wanted to pay for. He didn't think the City should have to pay the cost, but that the cost should be assessed through a 429 improvement project. The City has not assessed for an intersection improvement before. 7. Austad Drain field Plans The City Engineer provided a utility plan for inground septic systems for the three individual lots involved — Pierre, 5665 Hytrail Avenue; Austad, 5701 Hytrail Avenue and Hurt, 5751 Hytrail Avenue. Mr. Austad presented a petition from the homeowners involved looking for the City's support in an effort to resolve the issues at their properties. Mr. Austad said he talked to surrounding neighbors informing them as to what is being proposed. The City has allowed them to perk test an area on City property behind their homes. Mr. Austad said he counted about 15 trees that would have to go. The City Forester will look at the area and at the soils to determine what type of trees could be planted for screening. The City Engineer said there would be a pumping station which would have a manhole at grade. The City Engineer said he would prefer not to have the manhole in the back and will look at other areas. He said that the construction of the system privately and then turned over to the City has not been discussed. Usual monthly fees contributed and cost of installation will be paid for by the residents. There would be a wide enough path with a firm base and grass for someone three times a week to check on the system. The City Engineer explained the design has a backup. The portion of the sliding hill does not have enough room to meet our requirements for two drainfields. Mr. Austad said the three house system, drainfield, tree removal would cost about $75,000. The Council noted they were behind solving this problem in an unobtrusive manner as much as possible. A specific proposal will be presented at the January 17a' Council meeting. 8. Bergmann Easement The City Engineer said he is working with the Bergmann's on easements. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES January 10, 2006 9. Public Works — Gen Set (generator) The new Public Works Facility will be used as an emergency center. Our Public Works Supervisor has worked with the City of North St. Paul because they bought several Gen Sets for one of their buildings that were too small. Mike Bouthilet said North St. Paul" offered it to us for half the price, $10,000. There is no warranty for this standby generator. He said the self-contained unit automatically comes on if we lose power at garage. He said they had planned for this and put money in CIP for $7,000 in two years. The Public Works corrected that amount to $15,000 after the meeting. 10. Animal Control 11. Minutes and Structure 12. Volunteer/Employee Appreciation Dinner The Council will check their calendars and call the Clerk with possible dates .... March 3`d was discussed as a possible date.

City Council 7A(1) May 2"d, 2006 Agenda Item: Vacuum Excavator Back around Information for May 2" , 2006 The Public Works is requesting to purchase of a vacuum excavator. This unit would be used for: • Implementing our plan to clean out storm drains and catch basins. • Opening plugged and frozen culverts. • Vacuuming and cleaning out gate valve and curb stop boxes • Repairing and straightening bent or damaged curb stops • Exposing buried utilities during Public Works installations, construction or repairs. • Vacuuming out mud and water during water main repairs. • Lift station cleaning • Emergency pumping. This equipment would greatly facilitate work and tasks currently being performed, in addition to work that is years behind in maintenance. Primarily the catch basin and culvert work. Over the years the City has required assistance from Oakdale and N. St. Paul on an emergency basis to access gate valves and lift station service. Six times emergency calls last year alone. We also had to use fire equipment on an emergency basis several times for plugged culverts and drains. The public works did rent an identical unit last year that was used to clean the gate valves required to re-route our water from well 2 to the Oakdale service area. The remainder of the rental period was used to clean plugged catch basins. Catch basins alone, we would expect to take several years to clean city wide. The new water mains, developments and future growth of the City, further support the need and timing of this purchase. The Maintenance Advisory Commission reviewed and supported the purchase. The water and storm water enterprise CIP funds were designated for this 2006 purchase. Three quotes were solicited. Ditch Witch of Minnesota was low quote at $37,669.05.

He said he rei year for a week at a cost of $1,500 for use in cleaning catch basins, culverts, ect. Dick G other things it could be use for. Mike said one problem they have is with the water gate v they fill with dirt and are hard to clean out so they can be accessed. Using a bucket loade much time and is very slow. The vac would remove both the water and mud quickly allom more quickly get to the valve for repairs. With the onboard water supply it can act as a we loosen any hardened soil making it easy to remove. It can even go down through solid sc down to the shut offs. Chuck asked about the 500 gal capacity if it were large enough an indicated it would be. Mike reviewed the full specifications he received and the options. Bud T asked what he ex usage would be? Mike said right now he could use it 4-5 weeks and as the city grows with streets, catch basins and water hookup it could become a full time job. Chuck asked what this should be? Mike stated it would be set at 10years. It was agreed this would be a good for us especially with a cost of approx $1,500lwk rental and the amount of use it could see 10 year period it could actually save us money. This is in the CIP and there is money set a A Motion was made by Dick G and seconded by Bud T to recommend the purchase of a mounted FX30 Ditch Witch Excavation System from Ditch Witch of Minnesota Inc at a cc 31,185.00 plus $ 3,622 for Options pi us tax.

City Council 7B(I) May 2"d, 2006 Agenda Item: Lions and Tablyn Tennis Court Surfacing Background Information for Mav 2" , 2006 The Tennis courts at Lions Park and Tablyn park both need maintenance and repairs. Lions Park courts requires crack filling, bird baths filled, an acrylic asphalt leveling course and two color coats. Tablyn Park courts requires a paving fabric, 2" asphalt overlay, acrylic asphalt leveling course and two color coats. Price quotes were obtained with Tennis West having the low quotes for both Parks. Tennis West has a strong reputation and has bid all our previous re -surfacing, but was under bid each time. There is a costs saving involved for this project because they are doing Tartan Park courts during the same time frame. Both projects are in the 2006 Parks CIP. The price for Tablyn is $28,910, Lions $7,920.00 There is one more company submitting a quote that will be evaluated before the before the Council meeting. The Public Works Superintendent will have an update and recommendation at the City Council meeting. Person responsible: Action items: M.

Two variances are requested and recommended for approval: home enlargement on substandard lot (by area); and, street setback to Hill Trail. The lot area is 17,000+ square feet where 39,204 square feet is required for a legally non -conforming lot (which this is); and, the proposed street setback in 27.5 feet where 30 feet is required. Findings in support of these variances relate to the scale- ofth'- house and need for legal bedrooms, and the street setback of the existing structure being the same as proposed for the addition (27.5 feet). An important condition of approval recommended by the Commission (and staff) is that the applicant redesign and reconstructs the septic system to match the system size required for the bedroom count that will result from the house expansion — from a 2 bedroom capacity to a 3 or 4 bedroom capacity. No permit for the house expansion should be issued until a concurrent permit for the septic expansion is issued. No Certificate of Occupancy should issued until the enlarged septic is completed and functioning as designed.

CITY OF LAKE ELMO WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 2006-041 A RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE TO FRONT SETBACK AND MININIMUM LOT SIZE REQUIREMENTS FOR 8009 HILL TRAIL NORTH CITY of LAKE ELMO WHEREAS, the applicants, Jason and Shannon Tacheny, have submitted an application for a variance to front setback and minimum lot size requirements for an to an existing home at 8009 Hill Trail North that encroaches 2.5 feet into the front se legally described as follows: Lots 300 thru 309, inclusive, LANE'S DEMONTREVILLE COUNTRY CLUB ADDITION, Washington County, Minnesota. WHEREAS, at its April 24, 2006 meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed, unanimously recommended approval of this variance per plans presented by staff, as the on file with the City Administrator. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council for the City of Lake Elmo does hereby approve the variance to minimum lot size requirements and front setback based upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission and the following Findings: 1. The property cannot be put to reasonable use because the home was designed and constructed 60 years ago, well before public health and safety standards existed; application of those standards today limits the existing home to one bedroom, and neither in character with the balance neighborhood, nor is it a reasonable use of thi property. 2. The variance requested results from circumstances unique to properties where principal structures were constructed to adoption of City Zoning and Shoreland Regulations, and the circumstances of the variance were not created by the applica in that context. 3. Granting of the variance will not change the essential character of the neighborhoc And conditional upon the approval of a new septic design prior to the issuance of a Permit. ADOPTED, by the Lake Elmo City Council on the 2Id day of May, 2006. Dean Johnston, Mayor ATTEST: Martin Rafferty, City Administrator Excerpt DRAFT Planning Commission Minutes of April 24, 2006 Variances: 8009 Hill Trail PUBLIC HEARING: Variance-8009 Hill Trail The Planner presented the variance application for front yard setback and minimum lot size. The applicant proposes an addition to an existing home of three or four bedrooms with a second story. The existing home encroaches 2.5 feet into the front setback. City records reveal the septic system was installed through the 201 Program in 1985 and it is sized by volume for a two bedroom home. Impervious surface coverage standards are met, even with the addition. The Planner said the lot size variance request is comparable to other requests the city has heard from within this neighborhood. He said it is a neighborhood of very small non- conforming lots as compared to current zoning standards, and the proposed addition expands the non -conformity for this property. He said City records indicate the house was constructed in 1945 with several remodels and upgrades but no enlargement. The Planner explained that over the passage of time, standards have been adopted for what constitutes a legal bedroom and one of the two bedrooms originally constructed is not legal. The Planner said the introduction of the City's Shoreland Ordinance and Zoning Code created the property's non -conformities. The Planner said he recommends approval subject to an approved septic system redesign before the building permit is issued to match the number of legal bedrooms this home will have. Jason Tacheny, Applicant Mr. Tacheny said the house currently has one bedroom and three children and that is a hardship for the entire family. The Zoning changed after the house was built. One bedroom is not to Code due to inadequate egress along with a circuit box in that room. He said he has a certified septic design prepared that is sized for four bedrooms. He noted that the addition encroaches only 2.5 feet into the front lot setback. THE CHAIRMAN OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:15 P.M. Nobody spoke. THE CHAIRMAN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:16 P.M. M/S/P, Armstrong/Fliflet to recommend approval of variances for front set back and lot size minimums for the construction of an addition to the home at 8009 Hill Trail based c three Findings: 1. The property cannot be put to reasonable use because the home was designed and constructed 60 years ago, well before public health and safety standards existed; application of those standards today limits the existing home to one bedroom, and this neither in character with the balance neighborhood, nor is it a reasonable use of the property. 2. The variance requested results from circumstances unique to properties where principal structures were constructed to adoption of City Zoning and Shoreland Excerpt DRAFT Planning Commission Minutes of April 24, 2006 Variances: 8009 Hill Trail Regulations, and the circumstances of the variance were not created by the applicant in that context. 3. Granting of the variance will not change the essential character of the neighborhood. And conditional upon the approval of a new septic design prior to the issuance of a Building Permit. Vote: 9:0. i i LAKE ELMO PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Date: April 19, 2006 for the Meeting of April 24, 2006 Applicant: Jason & Shannon Tacheny Location: 8009 Hill Trail Requested Action: Zoning Variances - Lot Area and Street Setback Land Use Plan Guiding: SRD Existing Zoning: R-1 (Shoreland Overlay) Site History and Existing Conditions: Washington County Assessor records indicate that this home was constructed in 1945 and today contains a total of 1,148 square feet of living area. There have been numerous building permits issued for replacements, remodels, porch and new detached garage since City records have been kept on this address. A single user 201 septic system was installed on the site in the mid-1980's along with several other sites in the Tri-Lakes and Old Village areas. County records reveal the site area to be 17,629 square feet. Discussion and Analysis: The applicants propose construction of a 2 story addition to the east end of house of approximately 1100 square feet which we understand will be utilized for a family room (ground level and 3 additional bedrooms (second story). The applicant states that the existing house floor plan only includes one legal bedroom. The applicant's plan for the addition is not compliant with R-1 or Shoreland standards as follows: 1. The site area is substantially non -conforming with the "pre-existing parcel" area standard of both R-1 and Shoreland — 39,204 square feet required, and 17, 629 square feet existing. 2. The addition would be located 27.5 feet from the street property line on Hill Trail. R-1 standards require a minimum 30 foot street set back. The applicants have suggested that the "hardship" here relates to the size of their family and the lack of sufficient bedrooms to properly house a family of that size. While that does not constitute a hardship alone (except a self-imposed hardship), a single family detached home with only a single legal bedroom (which likely was 2 legal bedrooms under 1945 codes — if any applied) could be considered a hardship for any property owner. The street setback proposed (27.5 feet where 30 feet is required) exactly matches the existing setback of the 1945 house footprint. No additional encroachment to Hill Trail will result. As is often the case with properties in the Hill Trail neighborhood, site area is seriously below current R-1 and Shoreland standards — even by applying the "pre-existing" parcel clause of the Zoning Ordinance. Seldom is there a reasonable option available to increase the parcel area — as is the case here. Where this has been the case in recent variance applications (most of which have I been riparian to one lake or another) the City has generally looked to a Finding of whether the house addition, or new house, would be in keeping with the area of the site and other homes in the immediate neighborhood as to scale — a reasonable use. A second factor that must be considi red is the impervious coverage of the site that will result from the home addition or new home.'Within the Shoreland overlay this is limited to 15% or 6,000 square feet — whichever is rg eater. The septic system design capacity should be a factor as well where an increase in the be oom count is proposed — as it the case here. From City records it appears that the 201 system serving this residence was designed for 2 bedrooms. Should these variances be approved, the system must be enlarged to a 3 or 4 bedroom capacity. Findings and Recommendations: Based on the foregoing staff suggests that the following mandatory Findings are The property can not be put to reasonable use without the granting of the variance requested. The subject residence was designed/constructed 60 years ago — well before public health/safety standards existed. Application of those standards today limits the existing residence a 1 bedroom, which is neither in character with the balance of the neighborhood nor is a reasonable use of the property. 2. The variance requested does result from circumstances unique to properties where principal structures were constructed prior to adoption of City Zoning and Shoreland Regulations; and, the circumstances of the variance were not solely created by the applicant in that context. 3. Granting of the variance will not change the essential character of the neighborhood. The foregoing Findings support a recommendation for approval of the variances requested. Planning Commission Actions Requested Motion to recommend approval of variances for lot area and street setback at 8009 Hill Trail based on Findings of the Planning Staff Report of April 19, 2006, and plans staff dated April 191 2006 subject to a condition that the septic system be upgraded to a 3 or 4 bedroom capacity concurrently with the house addition.

Tom From: Kimberly Anez [mailto:kim.anez@lakeelmo.org] Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 12:15 PM To: Thomas D. Prew Subject: 8009 Hill Trail Hi, Tom! We have another remodel request on Hill Trail at 8009. This time, the guy wants o add three bedrooms and "convert" an "existing bedroom" to a den area. He says the el ctric panel closet and the size of the window to outside means it cannot be counted as a bedroom, however, the county assessor web site says there are two bedrooms. In either case, he wants to add three bedrooms. His address file shows part of the 201 system. Number 7277, sheet 38 of 107 sheets, commission number 8064, signed by Larry Bohr. r. Notes say: Connected to Orangeberg Building Sewerl 12 feet from septic tank. Installed 1250 gal. septic tank. 500 gal. pump station with 1/3 h.p. pum. 2 inch thick insulation under driveway. Constructed 661 s.f. of 3 feet wide trenches with 2 feet of rock under pipes. Can he add on any bedrooms? Would we consider him as adding three or only two bedrooms (assuming what he is telling me about Code being true)? Psrping records show pretty good maintenance, pumping every two to three years. Whether he needs a variance or not, we still need to know he has the capacity to add this many (how many?) bedrooms, right? :) Kim - Kimberly Anez City of Lake Elmo kim.anez@lakeelmo.org 1 Lake Elmo Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use and Zoning No. 9B City Council May 2, 2006 A ends Item: Permission for Temporary Office Trailer — Lake Elmo Pines Backaround Information for Mav 2 , 2006: We have attached a letter recently received from the new operator of the golf practice facility on Keats Avenue formerly known as Mulligan Masters. There have been ownership/control issues with this facility over the past two years — resulting in the closing of the facility in 2005 after the former operators had made extensive improvements to the site. One condition of the original Site Plan approval for this facility was that the then owners/operators be permitted to bring in a temporary office during the first year of facility operations — one year. The Site Plan depicts a permanent office facility/club house that would have been constructed in 2004 — had the ownership issues not cropped up. While the current operators have made no commitments regarding the permanent club house (no can they under what appears to be a relatively short term operating arrangement) it is reasonable to assume that success of the facility under the new operators should lead to such a commitment (and construction) in the future. Staff recommends the Council approve a temporary office/clubhouse at Lake Elmo Pines — to be removed (and permission suspended) by November 15, 2006. This should give the new operators an opportunity to rebuild the business without a large front end capital commitment. No future extensions are implied. Person responsible: Action items: Motion to approve amending the Mulligan Masters Section 520 City Planner Site Plan approval to permit a temporary office/clubhouse facility similar to that previously approved to be removed by November 15, 2006.

We have renamed the facility, Lake Elmo Pines Golf Course & Practice Facility to better reflect where it is and what we are trying to accomplish for the area Rich Hiner removed the previous trailer last fall when it was closed by the board It is not possible to properly rim the facility without some type of enclosed structure. Therefore, we are asking to set a temporary structure, trailer, just like the previous. We will have it removed by November 15, 2006 if not sooner, depending on the fall weather. We are not requesting to build a structure at this point in time because of the fact that we are only leasing. We are asking for the approval of the temporary structure to be extended from the previous agreement between the facility and the City of Lake Elmo.

After lengthy discussion at both the Commission and Council the City amended the exterior performance standards for all commercial zones. Since the structures that would likely be found in the PF zoning district would be of the same general scale/character as those of the commercial districts, it was clearly the intent in 2002 that those same performance standards be applied to the PF district as well — which did not happen, it appears. At its meeting April 24, 2006 the Planning Commission conducted a Noticed Public Hearing to consider correcting that oversight by amending the PF district to repeal the "old" standards, and adding the same new performance standards as found in all of the commercial zoning districts as a result of the 2002 amendments. Following the Hearing (no Public testimony) the Commission unanimously adopted a recommendation to amend the PF district text to substitute the new performance standards for those now appearing.

Purpose and Intent It is the purpose and intent of the City, by the adoption of the performance standards of this subdivision, to ensure commercial buildings constructed within the City are of a high quality of exterior appearance, consistent with the terms of Non -Residential Developmer Policy 95 of the 2000-2010 Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan. It is the Finding of the City that a limited selection of primary exterior surfacing materials meets this standard of quality. It is the further Finding of the City that several specific exterior surfacing materials are appropriate, and of sufficient quality, to be utilized only as accent materials in varying percentages. The variations of percentage of specific accent materials relates to a Finding by the City as to the relative quality and rural character of those respective accent materials. b. Architectural and Site Plan Submittals New building proposals shall include architectural and site plans prepared by registered architect and shall show the following as a minimum: i. Elevations of all sides of the buildings, ii Type and color of exterior building materials, iii Typical general floor plans, iv Dimensions of all structures, v Location of trash containers, heating, cooling and ventilation equipment and systems, c. Applicability — Structure Additions and Renovation Additions to existing structures resulting in an increase of gross floor area of the structure of less than 100%; and/or installation of replacement exterior surfacing any portion of an existing structure shall be exempt from the standards of this subdivision where it is found that the new or replacement exterior surfacing proposed is identical to that of the existing structure. Where additions to an existing structure result inan increase in the gross floor area of the existing structure of 100% or greater, the entire structure (existing structure and structure addition) shall be subject to the standard of this subdivision. d. Performance Standards — Primary Exterior Surfacing The Primary Exterior Surfacing of structures shall be limited to natural brick, stone, or glass. Artificial or veneer brick or stone shall not qualify as complying with this performance standard. Primary Exterior Surface shall be defined as not less than 70% of the sum of the area of all exterior walls of a structure nominally perpendicular to the ground. All parapet or mansard surfaces extending above the ceiling height of the structure shall be considered exterior surface for the purposes of this subdivision. Windows and glass doors shall be considered a primary surface, but the sum area of such glass shall be deducted from the wall area for purposes of the 70% Primary/30% Accent formulas of this section. Doors of any type or material, except glass, shall not be considered a primary exterior surface. Each wall of the structure shall be calculated separately; and, individually comply with the 70/30 formula. e. Performance Standard — Exterior Surfacing Accents Not more than 30% of the exterior wall surfacing, as defined by paragraph D above may be of the following listed Accent Materials, but no single. Accent Material, except natural wood, may comprise more than 20% of the total of all Accent Materials; and no combustible materials shall be used: i. Wood Siding ii. Cement Fiber Board iii. Standing Seam Metal iv. Architectural Metal V. Stucco vi. Poured in Place Concrete (Excluding "tilt -up" panels) vii. Architect Metal Panels or Sheets viii.

Lake Elmo Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use and Zoning No. 9D City Council May 2, 2006 Agenda Item: Rockpoint Church - Section 520 Site Plan andZonin Variance Background Information for May 2, 2006: At its meeting April 24, 2006 the Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing regarding a variance for the height of sidewall for this proposed church structure of 50,000+ square feet on a 20 acre site. The Commission had previously (April 10, 2006) first considered the Section 520 site plan for the facility, and had tabled the application pending proper Notice regarding the variance matters that had been noted in the Planning Staff Report of March 23. Of the four variance issues raised by staff, the applicant modified the site plan to mitigate one; one was determined not to be a variance following review by the City Attorney of Code provisions, and a third may have been resolved by Council action earlier on this agenda (exterior performance standards in the PF zone). That leaves the sidewall height variance which the Commissi-n recommends for approval, together with the Section 520 Site Plan. No building permit can be issued for this project until a Final Plat has been recorded.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council for the City of Lake Elmo does hereby approve the variance to side wall height based upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission and the following Findings: Rockpoint Church to allow side walls of the structure to extend to a maximum of 49 feet based on the following Findings: I. The property cannot be put to reasonable use without the granting of the variance requested. The proposed side wall height variance applies to only a portion of the building and relates to utilizing the site contours as they appear naturally and minimizing the impervious coverage of the site by creating floor area vertically rat than horizontally. 2. The variance requested results from circumstances unique to this Place of Worshil and the physical characteristics of the site. 3. Granting the variance will not change the essential character of the neighborhood. 4. In addition, the need for the variance arises due to the walk -out nature of the lot, tl the intent of the Ordinance probably was not to preclude such a structure, and the neighboring homes this church might affect will be moving in after the church is b built so they will be aware of it before they move in.

Rafferty, City Administrator Excerpt DRAFT Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of April 24, 2006 Rockpoint Church PUBLIC HEARING: Variance-Rockpoint Church The Planner said there are two items for the church tonight. The variance is for four things one is for the parking area and the applicant has relocated it to meet setbacks so the variance for that is now unnecessary, second is height of sidewall, third is height of the steeple, and fourth is exterior surface materials. The Planner spoke with the City Attorney regarding steeple height, the original provision for height in our Code was designed for an unoccupied area. Later adoption of the PF Ordinance modified the provision that pre -dated it, so the City Attorney said the applicant does not need a variance for the steeple. Performance Architectural Standards were adopted in many Zoning Districts and accidentally left out of the PF Zone. That hearing to modify Performance Standards in the PF Zone will be heard later tonight. That leaves the variance for sidewall height. The applicant's architect provided drawings to show another roof line and to remove the lower level windows. The Planner said this is a unique site and a mansard roof does not appear very church -like. He said that artificially closing the walk -out lower level seems to be unreasonable. The Planner said that a hardship for reasonable use can be made here so staff recommends approval. Richard Stuhiman, BWBR Architects Mr. Stuhlman presented a 3-D model of the church as originally designed. He said the largest portion of the building faces the trees. He also presented a site plan to show the church orientation on the site. He said it is several hundred feet from the church to the easterly property line. There are trees to the east on the property line but some on neighboring property. Mr. Stuhlman said in trying to force a solution to dispense with need for the variance, the building appearance does not really change very much for passersby and neighbors. THE CHAIRMAN OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:35 P.M. Nobody spoke. THE CHAIRMAN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:36 P.M. M/S/P, Fliflet/Pelletier to recommend approval of a variance for Rockpoint Church to allow side walls of the structure to extend to a maximum of 49 feet based on the following Findings: 1.

Vote: 9:0. 1 J i' STAFF REPORT Date: April, 2006 for the Meeting of April 24, 2006 Applicant: Lakewood Evangelical Free Church Location: Southeast Quadrant of Keats Avenue and State Highway 36 Requested Action: Zoning Variance — Sidewall Height Land Use Plan Guiding: PF Existing Zoning: PF Site History and Existing Conditions: On April 28, 2005 the City Council approved several concurrent applications related to the 20 acre site for which this Site Plan is here presented. Regarding this site, the City approved a Preliminary Plat creating the site and the public road that would serve the site; a Comprehensive Plan Amendment changing the classification of the site from RAD to PF, a rezoning of the site from RR to PF; and a Conditional Use Permit for a church facility on the 20 acre site. No Section 520 Site Plan was approved at that time, however. An OP Concept Plan was also approved fdr the balance of the overall 108 acres owned by the applicant by a separate action. Subsequent to the 2005 approvals Valley Branch Watershed District issued a grading permit for the north portion of the 108 acres site (including the subject 20 acres and public street). The City Engineer also reviewed and approved the installation of water main in the public street. That installation was inspected during construction by City consultants, and includes trunk water main needed by the City for system looping purposes The City Engineer is now preparing plans and specifications to extend City water main from the Sanctuary neighborhood to the Discover Crossing neighborhoods and then to this site during 2006. The Planning Commission first considered a site plan for the 50,000+ square foot Rockpoint Church facility on April 10, 2006. That application was tabled pending proper variance hearing Notice when it was discovered by staff that there were four implied variances from PF or or zoning standards — exterior materials, sidewall height, steeple height, and parking setback. Discussion and Analysis: Since the April 10 Planning Commission meeting two of the four variances noted have ceased to be required and/or requested. The applicant has submitted revised site plan eliminating the parking setback issue; and, the staff has conferred with the City Attorney and secured his opinion regarding the internal Zoning Ordinance standards conflict related to the steeple height. The fourth variance — exterior materials — is also addressed by another Hearing on the April 24 Planning Commission agenda that, if adopted, would amend the PF district standards to incorporate the same architectural performance standards as were adopted for the commercial zones in 2002. The City Attorney has advised that the apparent conflict between the general height limi found in Section 300.12 of the ordinance (likely a 1980 vintage standard), and those that adopted specifically for the PF district in 2000 should be viewed in terms of both intent and timing. It was clearly the City's intent in the 2000 PF standards to address places of worship) (and their special architectural needs related to symbolism). Since those special standards also clearly post date the general standard of 300.12 it is the PF standard that is applicable. No variance is required for the steeple/cross proposed by the Rockpoint site plan. Staff has previously advised the Commission that the 2002 application of the am Inded architectural performance standards should have been extended to the PF zone as well as the commercial zones — and we thought it had been when during earlier advice the applicants) The Rockpoint site plan is responsive to those 2002 standards. If the Code amendment to extend.those standards to PF is recommended by the Planning Commission on April 24 and adopted by theII City Council on May 2, no variance or modification of exterior surfacing will be required on the Rockpoint site plan. Assuming the foregoing, the only remaining variance is that for sidewall height. The PF standard for sidewall height is 35 feet. The Rockpoint site plan proposes a widely varying sidewall height (depending on where and which side of the building is measured). There are locations wheree the sidewall height ranges up to 49 feet. By a March 29, 2006 letter from the Rockpoint architects (BWBR) the applicant has presented its case for hardship based primarily on the physical characteristics of the site. Findings and Recommendations: The Commission should be aware that staff had previously advised the applicant's consultants/architects that there would be a height compliance issue with the plan they had brought to a pre -application meeting with staff. The applicant argues (by the March 29, 2006 letter) that the efficient site utilization dictates the "extra" finished level of the building, and that dictates the sidewall height proposed_ Clearly the actual site chosen (from an initial 108 acres of "choices") would suggest the "walkout" design proposed. Clear also is the applicant's argument that, by adding the extra level to the building, impervious coverage of the site is reduced from what it would be should the building's "prow am" be built without the extra level. The single question that results appears to be whether that argument constitutes a hardship in terms of the reasonable use of the property. Given this is a unique structure to Lake Elmo by any measure, and the overall characteristics of the site anits relationship to surrounding lands, staff suggests that the sidewall height proposed does constitute a reasonable use of the property, and the following findings are suggested: 1. The property can not be put to reasonable use without the granting of the variance requested. The proposed sidewall height variance applies to only a portion of the building and relates to both utilizing the site contours as they appear naturally and minimizing the impervious coverage of the site by creating floor area vertically rather than horizontally. 2. The variance requested does result from circumstances unique to this Place of Worship use and the physical characteristics of the site. 3. Granting of the variance will not change the essential character of the neighborhood_ These Findings and recommendation assume that the amendment to the PF performance s will be recommended by the Planning Commission and adopted by the City Council removing the variance action for exterior surfacing.

In regard to the "Discussion and Analysis" section, we have the following comments: , Item No. 1: No comment. last • Item No. 2: Submittal documents and construction drawings will be modified to correct parking setback. • Item No. 3: No comment • Item No. 4: It is our understanding that it is the Planning Commission's intent to amend the PF Zoning requirements to match exterior materials performance standards of the commercial zoning district, which would allow approximately 20% of the exterior surface, proposed to be pre - finished architectural grade metal. In the interest of time and uncertainty as to when this amendment would be considered, we hereby request that a variance be accepted and approved to allow the exterior walls of the proposed church building be clad and trimmed -with approximately 20%0 architectural metal The project scope and scale is very much of a commercial nature, and in keeping with those types of material usage. The hardship is only that it was only an oversight by the City that the PF ordinance was not amended along with the business/commercial zone ordinance when thatwas modified. • Item No. 5: The structural side wall on the southeast exterior wall of the church exceeds 35' in height The wall in question has a sloping roof) edge varying from 40' to 49' above grade (see elevation 1C/513, Partial Exterior Elevation). We hereby request a variance to allow this condition to exceed the 35' maximum in this location considering the following reasons: G:\0MOO\Ad n\L =\2006-0 28 Di =d Vm m Re estdo Mr. Chuyx'Dillarud Planning Department City of Lake Elmo March 29, 2006 Page 2 ❑ The site surrounding the church and neighborhood is made up of rolling hills, a mature, heavily forested area to the south of the building. The east property line is over 600' — two football fields, from the building's east wall. All other walls of the building ere under the 35' height maximum, again the exception being the, east/southeast wall of the Sanctuary. ❑ To be sensitive to the site, the church chose to place proDra space under the Sanctuary to minimize the footprint of the building. The position of the church on the side of a hill, ga e us the opportunity to open both floors of the church on the south and east sides to the views and day -lighting, allowing a walkout condition from the lower level and windows into the classroc S below the Sanctuary, on the upper floor. This planning and design is favorable to the general use of the lower level_ spaces. ❑ The views of this southeast wall from the neighboring, prop Ised housing development, the adjacent eastern property owner, and the general public is very limited from view due to the nature woods and the distances (see sheets C-1 and 200.2CR). ❑ If forced to comply with the 35' height restriction, one solution would be to maintain the higher grades and retaining walls around to the east/southeast against the building, artificially covering the lower wall and the opportunity for views and day - lighting into the lower level. Another solution would be to construct a mansard -type false roof appendage to the southeast wall that would drop the effective sidewall to 35' above gradGI. Clearly these two options are poorer solutions to the design IIf the building. ❑ The hardship of this variance request, to allow the building sill e wall in this one area of the building to exceed 35', is in fitting the building to the site in good design practice to accommodate classroom space with day -lighting and views. We ask for your consideration and approval of this request Item No. 6: In response, and in clarification of the "District Requirements in PF Zoning District", ordinance regarding "Unoccupied Structure Above the Highest Point of the Roof", out interpretation is as follows: ❑ The building height is governed by the "PrindI2 Structure Height — Ma=um — with Structure", and is established as 50 feet... ❑ In the next category down, unoccupied structure above the highest roof is established at 25'. Our building's highest roof point (Sanctuary) is 49'-4" above grade, suggesting that the highest point of the cross be established at 74'-4" above grad)e. 29 March, 2006 BWBR Architects, Inc 2006-03-28 DMarud V' ance Requestdoc Mr. Chu"Dillarud Planning Department City of Lake Elmo March 29, 2006 Page 3 The masonry "pier" structure, to which the cross is attached,ll is also unoccupied and the established height is 60'-0" above lade on the drawings. ❑ In your response letter of Match 23, 2006, you indicate that them is a conflict between sections of your ordinance. Our design is based on the District Requirements noted above. ❑ So as not to delay the review and approval of this submittal, we will request a variance to overcome the conflict and establish the cross height maximum as 75' above grade and the supporting masonry pier height maximums at 60' above grade. • Item No. 7: Exterior site lighting manufacturer cut sheet is attached for the fixture in question. This fixture head allows a 20' height pole on a 3' high concrete base with a 90 degree cut off angle. Item No. 8: No comment. Please call with questions in any of this regard. We hope for a speedy and I successful outcome. We axe positive the built outcome will be a great addition to the neighborhood and the Lake Elmo Community. Thank you for your cooperation.

Regarding this site, the City approved a Preliminary Plat creating the site and the public road that would serve the site; a Comprehensive Plan Amendment changing the classification of the site from RAD to PF, a rezoning of the site from RR to PF; and a Conditional Use Permit for a church facility on the 20 acre site. No Sectionl520 Site Plan was approved at that time, however. An OP Concept Plan was also approved for the balance of the overall 108 acres owned by the applicant by a separate action. The Preliminary Plat responsive to that Concept Plan appears elsewhere on this agenda. No anal Plat or Development Agreement has been approved for any of the overall 108 acre site. Subsequent to the 2005 approvals Valley Branch Watershed District issued a grading permit for the north portion of the 108 acres site (including the subject 20 acres and public street). The City Engineer also reviewed and approved the installation of water main in the public street. That installation was inspected during construction by City consultants, and includes trunk water main needed by the City for system looping purposes The City Engineer is now preparing plans Band specifications to extend City water main from the Sanctuary neighborhood to the Discover Crossing neighborhoods and then to this site during 2006. Discussion and Analysis: This Staff Report addresses only the compliance with PF standards for "Places of Worship" other applicable City Codes for the Section 520 Site Plan submitted for the 200 acre parcel. findings regarding compliance are as follows: I. All PF zoning structure set backs appear to be complied with. 2. While there are no parking set back standards specific to the PF zone, Section 300.13, Subdivision 6 specifies that there shall be no off-street parking within 20 feet of a public street right-of-way. The applicant proposes 15 off-street parking spaces closer than 20 feet from the public street right-of-way at the northwest comer of the parking lot. A'isite redesign or variance will be necessary. 3. Sufficient parking lot interior landscape islands are provided. 4. The exterior materials performance standards for the PF zoning district were not amended in 2002 as were those of the commercial zoning districts. A copy of those PF standards is attached. We note that the only allowable exterior- surfacing materials in the PF zone are "brick, stone, and glass". This site plan submission depicts approximately 20% of the exterior surface proposed to be "pre -finished architectural metal". Either a plan revision or a variance would be required. All sloped roofing is proposed to be "standing seam metal" which is permitted by PF performance standards. 5. PF standards provide for a maximum building height of 50 feet., but no structure side wall exceeding 35 feet in height. With measurement of building height on a pitched roof taken from the mid point of the pitch slope it appears that the roof height of the structure complies with the 50 foot standard. However, it also appears that that structure side wails exceed the 35 foot maximum height at several locations — in some places nearly 50 jfeet. Either s redesign or a variance would be required. 6. Section 300.12 of the Zoning Ordinance specifies that no building shall exceed 35 feet in height, including "...church spires...". It would appear that the PF standards as to building height may supersede that standard (one more internal conflict of the Zoning Ordinance), but inclusion of church spires in that limitation would seem to imply that if the PF height standard is 50 feet, church spires must be included in the maximum height calculation. Either the church spire needs to be reduced in height or a variance applied for. 7. The exterior lighting plan appears to potential) comply with Section 1350 standards for nonresidential sites. The levels of illumination forecasted are within the limits specified by the ordinance (except with 20 feet of the light source — now permissible). We do not find "cut sheets" of the light fixtures specified (by model number only) so we can not ascertain the degree of cut-off angle for those fixtures. That fixture information will be required to enable a determination as to whether a 20 foot of 30 foot fixture height must be used IThe site plan specifies a 23 foot fixture height (including the 3 foot base — which mush be included). 8. The site landscape plan is extensive and should comply with the Section 520 standards for value as a percentage of project costs. The only outside reviews requested for this site plan have been to the City Engineer and V Valley Branch. Both have recently responded and their review comments are attached Staff does not detect any major issues raised by those reviews, but recommends the usual conditions of approval to include compliance with Engineer and Watershed recommendations. Findings and Recommendations: The Commission should be aware that staff had previously advised the applicant's consultantsthat there would be a height compliance issue with the plan they had brought to a pre -application meeting with staff. The project architects (BWBR) have submitted a letter dated March 1, 2006 addressing the building height issue. It appears that the architects are arguing that height should be measured only from the "primary entrance" building elevation. I see no such reference in the'City Code definition of building height. Staff was not at the time of that pre -application meeting aware that the PF zone was excluded (but should not have been) from the amended Performance Standards adopted for all commercial zones in 2002. Based on the foregoing staff review it appears that this site plan proposes at least three design features that are non -compliant with City Code standards. If it is the applicant's intention to continue to pursue those non -compliant design features (height, exterior surfacing materials and panting set back.) it will be necessary to publish Legal Notice and conduct a hearing on the resulting variance applications. That Hearing can not take place until at least the April.10 Planning Commission meeting. The modifications required to the site plan (structure) that would be required should the applicant decide to redesign for Code compliance (or should applied -for variances be denied) are significant. We do not recommend this site plan review processing move beyond the Planning Commission until the non-compliance issues are resolved in some manner. Planning Commission Actions Requested: Staff recommends the Rock Point Church Section 520 Site Plan be tabled pending either redesign of the project for City Code compliance or consideration of an application for variances to Xhose Code standards. The completed application date is March 5, 2006 . For compliance with the State 60 day w\review requirement the last meeting at which the Commission can consider this matter is April 24, and the last meeting at which the City Council can act is May 2, 2006.

The 1 Rockpomt Church information is for the wastewater treatment system. The Valley Branch Watershed District does not regulate nor have standards for wateewater treatment systems, so my comments within, this Ietter are regarding the Hidden Meadows materials. The Valley Branch Watershed District Managers approved a permit for the Deer Glen subdivision and the Lakewood Evangelical Free Church on November 11, 2004. Construction of the church began Last M. The plans that you provided appear consistent with the plans that were approved by the Valley Branch Watershed District for the church, but not for the subdivision. Therefore, a new valley Branch Watershed District Permit will be required. The current plans show substantial grade changes, additional residential lots, and longer, realigned roads.) These changes will add more impervious surfaces than that of the previous plans and could affect the hydrology to the wetlands and the flood levels of the low areas. The developer will need to provide the I necessary stormwater management features to handle the additional runoff produced from the additional impervious surfaces, show that wetlands will not be negatively impacted, and ensure that the proposed homes will be protected from flooding.

(KHA) is submitting a Final Site Plan for your review and approval. As you are aware, LEFC received several approvals (with several conditions) for their 108 acres of property within the City of Lake Elmo. The property is "L-shaped" bounded by Trunk Highway (TH) 36 on the north, Keats Avenue on the west, and rural residential (but largely undeveloped) on the east and south A portion of the west property abuts Waal residential developed lots. The approved OP Development/Concept Plan shows the entire 108.62 acres and was divided into the same three parcels as previously shown. Parcel A is the 20 acre parcel that was reguided and rezoned along with a conditional use permit (CUP) to public facility (PF). The LEFC building would be constructed on this parcel. Parcel B is a 69.37 acre parcel that we are requesting a CUP for an OP development within the current RR zoning. Parcel C is an 18.97 acre parcel that we are requesting be maintained at the current RR zoning. LEFC has decided that as part of the move to Lake Elmo the church will be renamed to Rockpomt Church. In addition, shortly the developer of the OP residential development will be submitting a preliminary plat. The name of the development will be Hidden Meadows of Lake Elmo. Therefore, it was determined that the final plat for Rockpoint Church should be called Hidden Meadows of Lake Elmo. We do not intend to use the previous name of "Deer Glen".

Lake Elmo Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use and Zoning No. 9E City Council May 2, 2006 Agenda Item: Zoning Text Amendment — Outdoor Social Events Background Information for May 2, 2006: On April 18 the City Council referred this matter back to the Planning Commission to consider and make recommendations regarding several issues/concerns raised by Council Members during the April 18 Council discussion of the proposed ordinance amendment. The Commission again considered the matter at its April 24 meeting — based on the recollections of the staff regarding the Council's stated concerns (draft April 18 Council minutes were not available on April 24. The Commission discussed the Council's concerns (and additional concerns as well) at length and adopted 3 additional recommendations for mandatory CUP conditions: • Limiting the hours for any event to 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. • Prohibiting charging an admission fee for any outdoor social event • Prohibiting any artificial lighting The Commission also discussed the concerns of the Council regarding the scale of the events — as measured by total number of persons permitted by acre and in maximum. A Motion to reduce the maximum from 500 persons to 250 persons failed (3:6), and Motion to maintain the previously recommended 500 person maximum was adopted (7-2). Issues of traffic and parking were also discussed. The Commission concluded that such matters were both site and event specific, and would be best addressed with the individual CUP conditions. The draft ordinance presented April 18 is again attached — as amended to include the additional conditions recommended by the Commission on April 24.

Dean Johnston, Mayor ATTEST: Martin J. Rafferty, City Administrator Published in the Lake Elmo Leader MEMO (April 20, 2006 for the Meeting of April 24, 2006) To: Lake E rd gCommission From: Ch ck Subject: Outdoor Social Events in the AG Zone The City Council considered the Commission's recommendation regarding the subject at its April 18, 2006 Regular Meeting. The Council decided to table the matter and refer it back to the Planning Commission for further work. While as of April 20 we do not have the draft City Council Minutes from April 18 yet, my notes indicate that the two major issues the Council desires the Commission to further review and address in the ordinance were traKic forecasting/control and the maximum scale of the events (now 500 persons - if the site is large enough. The Council addressed other concerns that would best be addressed case -by -case with the individual Conditional Use Permit conditions. We will have the draft Council Minutes from April 18 available at the April 24 Planning Commission meeting. MEMO (March 9, 2006 for the Meeting of March 13, 2006) To: Lake Elmo Planning Commission From: Chuck Dillerud Subject: Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment — Commercial Outdoor Social Events As directed by the Commission on February 27, 2006, staff has published an Official I, Notice of a Public Hearing to consider amendment to the Zoning Ordinance text to allow issuance of a Conditional Use Permit in the AG zoning district for commercial outdoor social events as requested by a Lake Elmo property owner. We have attached a' HEARING DRAFT of how such an amendment could appear — using the contdnt' suggestions of Commissioner Armstrong from the February 27, 2006 Commission, Minutes (and a couple of additional restrictions). Please note that this addition to the list of AG Conditional Uses is structured differently than the other CUP uses on the Est with "Required Conditions". This is preferred zoning' practice to provide the Public and applicants advance notice of minimal CUP conditions that are expected. That does not, however, preclude the staff from recommending and the Commission and/or City Council from including additional conditions found to be necessary to preserve the Public health, safety and general welfare — or, denying a CUP on the basis that those same concerns can not be reasonably assured An applicant simply meeting those required conditions does not mean automatic CUP approval, nor if the' CUP is approved, additional conditions. Following the public Hearing Commission action is requested to either recommend a disposition (approve or not) of the proposed amendment to the City Council, or, refer the proposed amendment back to the staff for further work. March 9, 2006 Draft ZO Amendment — Commercial Outdoor Social Events Amend Section 300.07 Subdivision 4A2 (Conditional Uses) by adding: h. Commercial Outdoor Social Events, subject to the following required conditions: i. A site tax parcel area not less than 10 acres. I No existing permanent or newly constructed structures may be used. iii. Events limited to twice weekly during the months of May to October. iv. Attendance at events shall be limited to 20 persons per site to a maximum of 500 persons. V. Compliance with City Code Ambient Noise standards. vi. All parking shall be off-street, and shall be set back and/or adequately screened from adjoining properties. vii. No event shall continue later than 10:00 PM. viii. On -site portable sanitation adequately sized for the events. Public Hearing: Consider Code Amendment ^- Outdoor Social Events in AG Zoning District The Planner said the draft Code amendment is generic for all AG properties. The City of Stillwater said they have a CUP or SUP for musical events only. The Planners said he took Commissioner' Armstrong's factors into consideration and drafted for Municipal Code 300.07, 4.A.2. to add another Conditional Use to those already there. He said that is a more contemporary way to draft an ordinance. The Planner distributed a letter from Carol Palmquist received on March 1, 2006. THE CHAIRMAN OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:05 P.M. Nobody spoke. THE CHAIRMAN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:06 P.M. M/S/F, Deziel/Roth To limit No. 4 for Outdoor Social Events to ten guests per acre. VOTE: 1:7 Failed.

VOTE: 8:0. M/S/P, Roth/Fliflet to limit sound to comply with the City Noise Ordinance. The Planner read from the noise ordinance and said no sound above certain measurable thresholds should be discernible beyond the property line. VOTE: 7:1 Ptacek-The intention was for no amplified sound M/S/P, Fliflet/Deziel to remove Number 6 from the standards for Outdoor Social Events because there is no reason to limit the hours. 7:1 Nay�Schneider-Can picture this being a hassle. M/S/P, Ptacek/Fliflet to move forward with the text amendment for Outdoor Social Events subject to Conditions 1-9, eliminating Number six and to include the other amendments already made.

The Council Members asked the Commission to consider adding additional required CUP conditions to the ordinance, including: • Outdoor lighting controls • Site e\security during events • Better definition of screening and parking requirements • Noise control • Issues of sale/consumption of liquor The Workshop also questioned the maximum allowable event scale (measured in attendees and staff) in the present ordinance. While 20 persons per site acre was not necessarily found to be excessive, the 500 person maximum appeared to be. Action items: Person r onsible: Motion to refer the draft Outdoor Social Events in the AG District *ier back to the Planning Commission with direction to consider and make recommendations regarding the issues raised at the April 11 Council Workshop. Attachments: Time Allocated: Lake Elmo Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use and Zoning No. 9F City Council May 2, 2006 Agenda Item: Zoning Text Amendment — Fence Standards Background Information for Mav 2, 2006: At a recent City Council Workshop the Planning Commission was asked to review the new fence standards regarding screen fencing on residential properties that abut commercial properties. The current standards would not permit the residential property owner to construct fencing sufficient to screen the residential yard from the commercial buildings/parking/use. While the zoning ordinance does require commercial properties to screen from adjacent residential properties, many situations appear in the City that either pre-exist that requirement or may not be sufficient to fully address the use conflict. The Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing on April 24 to consider amendment to the screening provisions of the new fence regulations that, with a few added words, would permit residential property owners abutting commercial uses to themselves construct fencing that would be effective screening. That amendment would allow 72 inch screen fencing to the property line where residential property abuts commercial property. As written, where a residential lot backs up to commercial — generally the case — all three yards behind the home could utilize the property line screen fencing. Following the Hearing the Planning Commission adopted a recommendation to amend the fence regulations as described. Person responsible: Action items: City Planner Motion to adopt Ordinance #97 — 169 amending the Zoning Ordinance fence standards o permit screen fencing of residential yard where residential properties abut commercial uses.

Required fences for screening and security purposes in Agricultural and Residential zoning districts shall be set back from all property lines equal to the required structure set back of the zoning district in which they are located, except where residential zoned lots share a common property line with commercial uses or commercial zoning districts."

Dean Johnston, Mayor ATTEST: Martin Rafferty, City Administrator Published in the Lake Elmo Leader on the day of 12006. Excerpt DRAFT Planning Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2006 Fences as Screening and Security PUBLIC HEARING: Fences as Screening and Security The Planner said this review is being requested for areas of the City where commercial property adjoins residential or agricultural property. In one area of the City, he said that staff thought evergreen trees would be sufficient for screening but they have proved to be inadequate. In those cases, it has been suggested to allow a solid fence six feet in height. If a commercial property owner or developer does not screen its own lot, the residential property should be allowed to fence. Draft language was prepared adding one part of one sentence and that will allow fencing at rear or side lot lines. THE CHAIRMAN OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:47 P.M. Nobody spoke. THE CHAIRMAN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:48 P.M. M/S/P, Armstrong/Schneider, to recommend approval of additional language of Code with an amendment changing residential uses to residential zoned lot. The affected sentence will read, "Required fences for screening and security purposes in Agricultural and Residential zoning districts shall be set back from all property lines equal to the required structure set back of the zoning district in which they are located, except where residential zoned lots share a common property line with commercial uses or commercial zoning districts." Vote: 8:1 Nay-Ptacek: Does not like changing Code for a particular neighborhood. Lake Elmo Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use and Zoning No. 9G City Council May 2, 2006 Agenda Item: RR District Setbacks Backaround Information for Mav 2 , 2006: During a recent City Council Workshop the Planning Commission was requested to review the existing setback provisions in the RR and RE districts. It was observed at the workshop that RE setbacks were significantly larger (and adopted much later by the City) even though the development density of RE was significantly larger as well — more dense. On that premise, it was suggested that the RR setbacks might y logically be as large as those of RE. On April 24 staff presented the Commission with the RR/RE setback concerns, including a chart depicting the current differences. Following substantial discussion of the matter the Commission adopted a recommendation to the Council to not amend the setbacks in RR. The reasons given by commissioners for this recommendation included the fact that no new RR parcels will likely be created in the City; current RR property owners both acquired their properties knowing what the RR setbacks were at the time, and have relied on those standards for years (thereby the City creating numerous non-conforinities with any changes at this point); and, that the RE standards (including the setbacks) were specifically created by the City to allow smaller parcel sizes that would still retain a rural character by greater prescribed structure spacing — a "trade-off' of large setbacks for smaller (than 10 acres) lots.

The Planner said the RR standards were written long before the RE standards. The Planner said the City Council would like the Commission to consider amending setbacks wherever they make sense. M/S/P, Armstrong/Deziel to recommend letting sleeping dogs lie and to make no change to RR setbacks because there will be no new RR parcels in Lake Elmo, existing owners knew what they were getting when they bought RR parcels, and RE setbacks were created to keep houses apart in a higher density neighborhood of homes. Vote: 8:1 Schneider -We should address it. MEMO (April 20, 2006 for the Meeting of April 24, 2006) To: Lake Elmo Pi ng Commission From: Ch k ' d . Subject: Setbacks in the RR Zoning District At its April 11, 2006 Workshop the City Council was asked to consider amending the RR district standards to substitute setback standards equivalent to those now found in the RE district. Council members observed both that the RE standards are more current than the RR standards and that it seemed logical that the 10 acre parcels of RR should have setback standards at least as great as those of the 2.5 acre parcels of the RE zone. A comparison of the current standards follows Standard RR RE Lot Width 300 feet 150 feet Front (Street) Setback 30 feet 100 feet Side Setback 10 feet 50 feet Rear Setback 40 feet 100 feet Arterial Street Setback 50 feet 150 feet In both cases the setbacks for accessory structures are the same as for principal structures. Staff requests the Commission's direction regarding proceeding with any amendments to RR district standards; and, if so, which standards should be considered for amendment. A Notice of Hearing will be required. This will not be able to be heard by the Commission until the meeting of May15, if so directed.

The City's current regulations may be a carry over from the 1960's but, if read intotal, can reasonably by applied to all businesses which have drive -up facilities: `The City-could`apply itscurrent regulations or could repeal'or amend'those regulations'. The City's regulations are presumed to be constitutional: The presumption is not conclusive and can be rebutted by a showing that the City's regulations do not satisfy the following constitutional standards: 1. Vagueness. Does a person of common intelligence have to guess as to the meaning or application of the regulation? Is the regulation subject to several interpretations? If so, the regulation may be unconstitutionally vague. 2. Reasonableness. Is the regulation reasonable in its terms and conditions? A reviewing court will look at the stated purpose and intent of the regulation as well as its application to particular facts in judging the reasonableness of the regulation. Normally a reviewing court will defer to the judgment of the City Council on this particular matter. 3. Equal Protection. Does the regulation impose -restrictions on one class of"persons engaged in a particular business which are not imposed on others engaged in the same "= oUsiness under similar circumstances? This -may be the most difficult standard to satisfy l#the City decides fo'imposesome regulation ; directly or indirectly, on sdrJlt t tit not alf of the food establishments in a general business zone': 'A=ADM1=D IN VSCONS1N April 17, 2006 Page 2 The City Council should first decide what its purpose and intent is when adopting drive -up facility regulations. What particular public safety or nuisance or concerns are generated by this type of business? Do the City's concerns relating to a drive -up business depend upon what is occurring on the interior of the business establishment or do the City's concerns relate to traffic safety, traffic stacking, noise, lights, trash and/or the proximity of the exterior activity to a residential neighborhood? Are these concerns unique to the food business or are they the same for all drive -up businesses? I cannot answer these questions for the City because the answers are legislative in nature, but I would recommend that they be discussed before amending current regulations or adopting new regulations.

This proposed zoning text amendment was proposed by staff following denial of a building permit to Gorman's restaurant for construction of such a facility based on lack of specific Zoning Ordinance use authority. The Commission discussed the amendment at multiple meetings with the primary issue being whether or not such a drive -up facility should be permitted to include a remote menu board and intercom ordering equipment. The conclusion of the Commission was that the menu board/mtercom features would not be in the public interest and should be prohibited. Another concern of the Commission was whether the drive -up feature would open the door for typical fast food restaurants. The Commission concluded that the very specific definition of "Restaurant" found in Section 150 of the City Code essentially precludes fast food restaurants. The prohibition of menu boards/intercoms appears to further limit the probability that a typical fast food restaurant could be accommodated by the Zoning Ordinance. The attached draft ordinance adds Drive -up windows for restaurants as an additional Permitted Use in the GB zoning district subject to the menu board/intercom prohibition — as recommended by the Commission.

The Planner said no sound should be discernible beyond the property line. He read from the noise ordinance. Commissioner Van Zandt said if you can't measure it and don't know the decibel level but nobody is complaining, what difference does it make? VOTE: 7:1 Ptacek-The intention was for no amplified sound. M/S/P, Fliflet/Deziel to remove Number 6 because there is no reason to limit the hours. 7:1 Nay —Schneider -Can picture this being a hassle.

Public Hearing: Consider Code Amendment — Drive -up Service Window Adjacent to a Restaurant in the GB Zoning District The Planner provided three separate text amendments. The first could make it a conditional use permit, second would be a permitted use, and third would be an accessory use which is not much different from a permitted use. OY-�17[�la\I:��na[�»��r�.�rti���� ��►c.>f1�1\:\I`�eT_111F3%T.'i��lf Ed Gorman Mr. Gorman said he would like to be clear of the differences between restaurants and cafes. Some of those differences are: utensils and plates that are washed, table service versus counter service, menus versus menu board, in fast food there are no tips, in restaurants you tip the server. His requested outdoor menu board would be a marketing tool with less than 10°/u of his food items on the board. He solicited support from 100's of customers, many of them local, and from fellow businesses on Main Street on a petition. He presented the petition where the signers supported the drive -up service window with intercom and menu board. There is a health and safety issue with the. window ordering option. Mr. Gorman said that Minnesota food code says that all openings to the outside be closed as much as possible to keep out insects, etc. Flies are an issue in summer. Without the intercom system and menu board, he cannot envision doing this completely and safely for his customers. Lake Elmo Bank has five speakers. The City could add the provisions for a limited menu board limited to ice creams and coffees. Commissioner Deziel asked when does the sit down become secondary to the drive -up window? If you sell the restaurant, that future owner may have a different idea. Mr. Gorman said a CUP could make the difference. This window does not make it fast food. He Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of March 13, 2006 M will still be classified as a table service restaurant. Commissioner Ptacek said take out customers are telephoning now. This window is increasing the convenience ten -fold but the commission does not want to leave an opening for a fast food restaurant. THE CHAIRMAN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8 35 P.M. Commissioner Roth asked how to prevent a larger company from coming into town establishing a temporary table restaurant. Commissioner Van Zandt said if you read a fimnchise agreement, you don't change the model or you don't get the franchise. Those are very controlled elements. He would like a successful drive - through model in the cities. He cannot think of one that represents our fears. The Planner read the Code definition of a restaurant with quantitative measures for tables, customers, square footage, servers, etc. Chairman Helwig asked about a phone instead of an intercom. M/S/P, Ptacek/Schneider to move forward with the definition of drive -up window for cafes and restaurants in the GB zone with adequate stacking of automobiles and an intercom and menu board prohibited. VOTE: 6:2 — Van Zandt and Roth -Feels that maybe there was more that could be done to make this a possibility. City Council Update The Planner said that. on March 6, the Council adopted to update the 1990 Park Plan through the hiring of a consultant.in order to expedite the work. The zoning variance for Haire.for a large home on DeMontreville and Olson Lakes, they denied 4:0. The applicant did not get to make a presentation. They have asked for reconsideration at the next Council meeting. The Administrator said the Planning Commission is invited to participate for the Old Village Master Plan being presented tomorrow at the Council Workshop. Adjourned at 8:52 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Kimberly Anez Recording Secretary Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of March 13, 2006 Mr. Moore saia he is not opposed to the applicant subdividing the property, but objects to size of lots on a concept plan he received, and feels the applicant could do a better job on the layout without impacting wetlands and the drainage ditch. He said there is an eroded ditch leading into a culvert that goes under County Road b, and a holding pond should be placed there for sediment control where the water goes under Stillwater Boulevard, and trees should be preserved. They are old trees. Some have wind damage but there is not much oak wilt in that area. He walked the site last week. The layout could be improved for aesthetics and erosion control due to runoff of the water. That water drains into Lake Elmo Park Reserve. His lot is just south of Raleigh Creek and this parcel. THE CHAIRMAN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 8:24 P.M. Commissioner Armstrong said that SRD Guiding in the Comprehensive Plan was basically used for existing neighborhoods back in the 1980's with the attitude that they are great neighborhoods but we cannot duplicate them due to septic systems and other problems. The City developed a method for devising SRD Guidings based on five criteria that had to be met before parcels could be rezoned. Perhaps this parcel could go to RED but SRD is absolutely inappropriate for this site. Commissioner Deziel said the water pollution does seem to be a change in condition. He asked the Planner's opinion. The Planner said the water will be taken care of in less than one year and does not constitute a change in conditions that would support a Comp Plan amendment. He also noted that a variance for minimum plat are would be required to go to RE Zoning. IvI/S/P, Ptacek/Armstrong to recommend denial of the application toamend the Comprehensive Plan and rezone this parcel 8740 Stillwater Boulevard to SRD and R-i based on the findings suggested by City Staff. Commissioner Deziel said he does not see an error to the Comprehensive PIan.. RED guiding might get some sympathy with the Planning Commission. The density of R-1 doesn't comply with neighboring densities. PASSED: 9:0. The Chairman recessed the meeting at 8:31 p.m. and reconvened at 8:39 p.m. Amend Uses in GB Zone to Allow a Drive=up Window The Planner said he wants to be sure the Commission approves what text changes have been made for permitted and conditional use. He will publish immediately following this meeting when a final draft of the Code is determined. Commissioner Armstrong said his concern is that a drive -up window should be tied into an e)dstmg sit down restaurant so a coffee shack would not be allowed in the future. "Attached only to a sit down restaurant." In that case the Planner said he would define restaurants differently. Commissioner Pelletier asked if someone can do a carside to go or a walk-up window without it U -tea being added to the Code. The Planner said a walk-up window would probably be okay. Commissioner Deziel said limited ffiull table service operation is already in there. The Planner would add it to the definition of restaurants in another part of the Code. Commissioner Van Zandt said he lived five blocks off Grand Avenue for 22 years. There wasan empty lot there. The City would not allow a restaurant applicant to go in there and instead allowed a drag store there that resulted in putting a smaller drug store out of business. if we don't allow some businesses here to thrive and remain competitive, we will lose our significant businesses. We should look for compromises. Commissioner Armstrong said we are helping our businesses by disallowing menu boards and intercoms. We want to exclude fast food while allowing a business like Gorman's to continue. We always have to look at the big picture. If there are other ways to distinguish fast food, he would like to here about them. M/S/P, Ptacek/Schneider direct staff to publish a revised definition of restaurants in order to allow drive -up service adjacent to full service table restaurant as a conditional use in the General Business Zone as the Planner drafted. Commissioner Ptacek said the CUP gives us opportunity to review space for traffic stacking. Commissioner Fliflet said she does not see the need for allowing menu board and intercom when other restaurants are doing great oarside to go business. She sees no need to change the Code to allow it.. She also agrees with Commissioners Armstrong and Placek as to protecting our existing restaurants. Commissioner Park said she sees how a drive -up window could work. She often gets_ carside to go_ Ed Gorman Mr. Gorman said he has owned Gorman's Restaurant for 26 years. He does not sell liquor. He has enough room to stack traffic. The proposed addition is only 200 square feet and 100 square feet of it is for adding more ice cream flavors. There are only three restaurants in the GB zone in Lake Elmo. He has been doing this work for forty years and the industry is changing. The window without the intercom is less convenient for customers. Commissioner Deziel asked how we exclude fast food if we approve what Mr. Gorman requests. Mr. Gorman said the Health Department classifies his business as Table Business. Traffic flow would be fine on his site, and it would be a natural fit. Commissioner Ptacek pointed out that it takes no longer if someone talks at the window or uses an intercom. Commissioner Fliflet said people walked up to the window at the old Dairy Queens. PASSED: 7:2 Nay — Fliflet and Pelletier -Because the restaurant owner we talked to had inferred his disinterest in anything other than a message board and intercom. We voted against those so she sees no need to add verbiage relating to a drive up window since there is no need and no applicant. Home Occupations The Planner explained the history of the review of Home Occupations. He asked the Commission to review a handout while he rewords some of the table with the City Attorney to eliminate subjective phrasing such as "adequate parking on -site" and "adverse effect on adjacent properties." City Council Update The planner reported that as of one week ago, Metropolitan Council considers our Comprehensive Plan to be "complete". The Met Council now has sixty days to complete its detailed review of the City's Plan.. Commissioner Schneider asked when the nine months begins regarding an amended zoning ordinance and map to match the Plan. The Planner said the nine months will begin as soon as the Met Council Board has concurred in the City's. Comp Plan. That could still be a couple months out He suggested that the Commission will soon have to pick up the Zoning Code and have a performance -based and form -based zoning refresher. It would be expensive to bring the zoning ordinance consultant Lane Kendig back again. Staff will look to see if we have tapes of the previous workshops with Kendig. Commissioner Armstrong noted that congratulations were in order to Commissioner Flifiet for helping us meet our population goats! The meeting adjourned at 9:12 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Kimberly Schaffel Recording Secretary probably fit in with the natural setting in the AG Zone but we have to address these other factors. We have CUP s in the AG zone such as greenhouses, kennels, and stables. We would want conditions established in advance for wedding receptions so everyone knows what to expect. M1S/P, Armstrong/Ptacek to direct staff to come back with a draft ordinance in the next few weeks. The Planner said he will investigate how this use is regulated in Stillwater. He agreed with. Commissioner Armstrong about it needing to be a Conditional Use. VOTE: 9:0. Drive-up/Drive-through Facilities for Fable Service Restaurants in the GB Zone The Planner introduced the request for a minor site plan modification for a drive -up window at Gorman's Restaurant. The City Code says restaurants with table service are all that are permitted in the GB Zone. Council agreed that clause was designed to preclude fast food restaurants in the City. The Council sustained the administrative decision to deny Ivir. Gorman's request but directed that the Planning Commission review the Code to determine if it could be modified to allow a drive -up window without violating the original ordinance intent. The Planner believes it can. Oakdale's ordinance distinguishes fast food from classic restaurants. Order boards differentiate them partly because of lights and attendant noise. Commissioner Van Zandt said Applebee's and Chili's car side to go is a successful model because you would not want to order food and then wait for it. The order must be placed in advance. He said this presents convenience for young parents and elderly people. He thinks there is a need for it in the City as Iong as it is controlled. The Planner said Oak Park Heights addresses bank drive -up facilities very well. They must have room for stacking of automobiles on -site. There is room at Gorman's but there would not be room at the Lake Elmo Inn or Twin Points. Mr. Gorman said he wants a limited menu board of coffees and ice cream cones. He would face it to the south with a 70 db squawk box. Commissioner Armstrong said that makes it more difficult for the Planning Commission to accommodate the request. Commissioner Armstrong said an intercom and menu board would prohibit it. Commissioner Pelletier is against any kind of intercom, menu board, or drive -up window. She suggested car side to go. Chairman Helwig agreed- Commissioner Lyzenga asked about a walk-up window instead. A Straw Poll was conducted to see which commissioners would be in favor of a menu board/intercom system.. 0: menu board/intercom system. Another Straw Poll was conducted for car side to go versus a drive -up window. 5: drive up window without menu or intercom.- 9: car side to go- A Straw Poll was taken to determine if the Planning Commission would like to take up this matter. All 9 commissioners agreed_ M/S/P, Ptacek/Deziel to direct staff to draft an ordinance allowing window service without a menu board and without an intercom system allowing this type of use of a restaurant in the GB .Zone. VOTE: 7:2 Nay - Lyzenga/Pelletier, Lyzenga expressed concern about getting cars to the window in an orderly fashion. Pelletier is worried about a negative precedent. PASSED. Lake Elmo Planning commission Meeting Minutes of January 23, 2006 The Planner said the City Council wants to see this back in February so he will try to draft something to bring back soon. Proposed Joint Community Playfield with Oakdale The Planner said the City Council has requested a recommendation for a joint playfield with Oakdale in Lake Elmo at northeast comer of Ideal and Stillwater Boulevard. The Administrator explained the history of the donation request from 3M for a park for the City of Oakdale. 3M offered them land in Lake Elmo. After discussions and meetings, it has matured to a possibility of joint ownership of the land and in terms of capitalization, maintenance, and government and field scheduling. Staff held out for joint governance and joint input on design. Eventually our population will be close to theirs but meanwhile we are only 30% of their size. So there might have to be consideration of proportionate terms in the meantime until we grow. The City Council asked if this is something we want to attempt, and do we want to take the next step to create a development agreement. The Parks Commission unanimously recommended doing that. The Planner explained the City's need for ballfields today and into the future. He said the Park Plan is 15 years old. Oakdale is about where we will be at 2030 for population. They have a significant community playfield but it is not enough for their needs. An Old Village community playfield would still be needed in the future. He said it makes sense from a Planning standpoint. Commissioner Deziel asked about new zoning with RAD2 on the parcel north of Highway 5. He said it would be the nearest Lake Elmo development to this. Commissioner Ptacek agreed with Commissioner Deziel and the Planner. He also said there are not enough dates and times and fields available in Lake Elmo and Oakdale. Commissioner Armstrong would want this park for ages I8 and under and daylight facilities only, no lights on this field. He said it is probably better to create a park here new the railroad without displacing homes and REC units, and it would be a good partnership with Oakdale for the future. The Planner clarified the proposal is for youth only. Chairman Heiwig used to be on the Parks Commission in Oakdale and he said the Oakdale Athletic Association and the Parks Commission there are two distinct entities. The Athletic Association does all the scheduling and they will get lights if they want them. Commissioner Schneider said the City is sacrificing 26 acres for no houses and no taxes. We should get more than 50% use of this park. The Administrator said the Cities are insured by the League of MN Cities so liability is not a problem. M/S/P, Ptacek/Deziel to recommend taking the next step to continue the discussions. VOTE: 4:0. - Lake Elmo Planning commission Me ting Minutes of January 23, 2006 UFC3 a Gormans Restaurant l I011 Stillwater Blvd. Lake Elmo Nhs. 55042 December 30, 2005 Irfir. Charles Dillerud City of Lake Elmo This letter was Band delivered to the city of Lake Elmo office on .Friday December 30, 2005 Dear Charles, T have received your response dated December 27, 2005 and I respectfully disagree with your conclusion. Adding a drive up window to our existing restaurant will not make ours a fast food restaurant. `You will note in the letter that I gave you from the Washington county health degartmeM that they, along with their approval of our plans for the addition of a drive up area, #.he class mcation of our restaurant will not change. Our `rood Establishment" 'classification is for restaurants whose main mode of operation is table service. These establishments may provide drive up or takeout service, but this is not their main mode of operation. The "Fast Food" definition is "a food establishment in which the patron orders and receives the food at a counter or provides its food via delivery or take out only." Surely all of the existing Lake Elmo resraurants including Gorman are violating the zoning ordinance just by preparing our meals for take out. I have also delivered our meals to various locations possibly another violation. Please do not misunderstand ---I don't want any fast food restaurants to locate in Lake Elmo either. Adding the approximate 230 square feet addition to our existing restaurant to accommodate a portion of my existing business, will not make me a fast food restaurant. Gorn ans would become a convenient fall service restaurant with accessible take out food pick up ability. It seems to me that the city could, create a "GB-FF" zone that only fast foods could locate in. Currently no land is zoned that way making it clear that those businesses could not locate in the city of Lake Elmo. As far as the city setting a precedent I rather doubt that the other four restaurants in Lake Elmo would be adding a drive up window to their facilities. If so on a ease by case basis the city could look at the possibility. Some would probably have to eliminate a portion of their existing parking spaces and in doing so they would possibly not meet the cities parking requirements. We are not going to loose any parking spots. Just because our restaurant would have a drive up doesn't mean a fast food could "buy me our and operate there. Gormans has a GB zone and they would need a GB-FF zone. Good hick to them in re -zoning the parcel. In Lake Elmo there are currently two full service banks operating with drive up available_ To me they are sail full service banks. According to the lake Elmo Municpal Code sect. 200.01, subdivision III have the opportunity to appear before the board of adjustment to be heard. Please inform me of the earliest opportunity for this to happen. The relief that I am requesting is that the board would allow us to proceed With our proposed expansion to accommodate our customers C U JAN 2 6 20% .° _ . » m . ... f.. dz7 ... .. �. �- �� 6 «7Js ©- December 27, 2005 Ed Gorman Gorman's Restaurant 11011 Stillwater Blvd. Lake Elmo, MN 55042 Dear Ed. RE: Restaurant Drive -Up By Cer tmed Return Recennt Mal Building Official Jim McNamara has requested my determination regarding whether the addition of a drive -up facility at your establishment would be in compliance with Lake Elmo Zoning Ordinance standards. My findings in this regard are as follows: 1. Your restaurant at 11011 Stillwater Blvd. is located in the General Business (GB) Zoning District. 2. "Cafes and Restaurants" is a Permitted Use in the GB District, but specifically limited by the Zoning Ordinance to "...full table service operations". It is my determination that the "frill table service" clause in the Zoning Ordinance is specifically intended to prohibit drive -up facilities at cafes and restaurants. Mr. McNamara can not issue a permit for the drive -up facility modifications, and I have directed him to return any plans for such a facility that you have submitted to the City. Section 200,01, Subdivision 11 of the Lake Elmo City Code provides an appeal procedure from any determination made by an administrative officer of the City. The City Council hears the appeal as the Board of adjustments and Appeals. I have enclosed a copy of the City Code Appeal section to which I refer. Please note that you must advise of the City in writing of your appeal within 5 days of this administrative determination notice. Sincerely yours, City of Lake Elmo Charles E.

This drive thru would not change the rural character of the neighborhood. John pointed out other businesses—Applebee's, Famous Dave$, etc. all have take out areas. Sharon 1/4/2006 �..

Metro Transit offered three potential sites for the Park & Ride (I-94 and Keats, or Lake Elmo, or Manning), and suggested that any of those 3 sites could co -locate a City water tower. The Workshop consensus was to refer the Metro Transit proposal for Plarming Commission review and recommendation. The Planning Commission reviewed and discussed the Park & Ride proposal at its April 24 meeting. Staff reported to the Commission that the City Engineer advises that only the Keats Avenue site would "probably" work for a water tower co -locate. The Commission adopted a Motion both recommending that the City continue to work with Metro Transit on a Park & Ride in Lake Elmo; and, that the Keats Avenue site is the preferred option. Person responsible: Action items: Motion providing direction to staff regarding the proposal of City Planner Metro Transit to build a Park & Ride facility along I-94 in Lake Elmo. Attachments: Time Allocated: 1. Metro Transit Letter and Map Attachment 2. Draft Planning Commission Minutes of April 24 3. Planning Staff Memo " w,_n, ?44 Excerpt DRAFT Planning Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2006 Metro Transit Park and Ride Metro Transit Park and Ride The Planner said the Metropolitan Council would like to place a park and ride on a site where the City could also co -locate a water tower in the area of the City south of 1 Oth street. The map submitted by Metro Transit indicates sites at interchanges off of I-94. Metro Transit proposes the Lake Elmo side of the highway for incoming traffic to downtown Minneapolis from the eastern suburbs. They are looking for a permanent facility to replace the temporary facility now at Guardian Angels Church. Federal funds would be used to construct the facility for about 500 cars. The Planner said that the City Council at their last Workshop, asked for a recommendation from the Planning Commission whether to support park and ride and if so, which of these three sites would be preferable. The City Engineer recommends the Keats location as most suitable topographically for a water tower. Guiding for Keats and Lake Elmo is Limited Business and Business Park at Manning Avenue. Commercial RECs lost will be 40 employees per acre. The Administrator said this will be an express bus route with direct service to Cimarron. Metro Transit has its own security. M/S/P, Park/Van Zandt to recommend the site at Keats and I-94 for a Park and Ride because it is the best site for a water tower. Vote: 6:3, Nay: Helwig, Schneider, Ptacek- Not enough information. Schneider- We do not have enough information, and we should not be pinning it down to a location. MEMO (April 20, 2006 for the Meeting of April 24, 2006) Subject Metro Transit Park/Ride —1-94 The new Director of Transportation Services at the Metropolitan Council has approached the City Administrator regarding a potential permanent park/ride facility in Lake Elmo to replace the temporary facility now operated by Metro Transit at Guardian Angels Church. The City Council briefly reviewed the Director's letter and attached map at its April 11 Workshop, and referred the matter to the Planning Commission for advice and recommendations. I believe the City Council is requesting the Planning Commission's comments as to: 1. Should the City support a Park/Ride facility in Lake Elmo — regardless of location; dad, if so,. 2. Which of the three locations suggested by Metro Transit would be preferred for such a facility. Ms. McCarthy has not, by her March 20 letter, provided specifics regarding the proposed facility. Most of what City staff knows of the proposal is based on information provided the City in 2004 related to a Metro Transit federal grant proposal to construct such a facility, as follows: 1. The facility would have a 500 car capacity. 2. The facility is designed to serve a dedicated bus route from Lake Elmo to Minneapolis — now operating out of Guardian Angels, 3. The buses utilizing this facility will be of special design utilizing alternative fuel to diesel. 4. The original federal grant application specified $4 million to construct the facility, and another $4 million to purchase the special buses. Ms. McCarthy has indicated in her letter that enhanced transit service to the Cimarron neighborhood from this new facility could be a. significant advantage to Lake Elmo residents. She also suggests that a Metro Transit Park/Ride site in Lake Elmo could also be utilized as a water tower site by the City. There is no question that a water tower site will be required south of le Street and remotely located from the Eagle Point Well #3. We requested advice from the City Engineer as to which of the 3 sites Ms. McCarthy has suggested would be suitable (from a topographic perspective) as a City water tower site. /1 LEGEND 6 6 IUD XOFI® $€ME IN FEET WETLAND AREAS _v __ -- CURB /H•.,,••_•-"% — -• \ \ \\ \ \9 \ \ h�^ \ \ RI\s� \ WETLAND BUFFER PROPOSED CURB &GUTTER ^�'= R.O.W.
