One of the Commission's functions is to hold public hearings and make recommendations to the City Council. The City Council makes all final decisions on these matters. Lake Elmo Ordinances require that certain documents and information be included in applications. The Planning Commission may postpone consideration of an application that is incomplete and may for other reasons postpone final action on an application. For each item, the Commission will receive reports prepared by the City Staff, open the hearing to the public, and discuss and act on the application. If you are aware of information that hasn't been discussed, please fill out a "Request to Appear Before the Planning Commission" slip; or if you came late, raise your hand to be recognized.

However, it is in the best interest of the City to promote high standards of architectural design and compatibility with surrounding structures and neighborhoods. New building proposals shall include architectural plans prepared by a registered architect and shall show the following: (1) Elevations of all sides of the buildings. (2) Type and color of exterior building materials. (3) Typical general floor plans. (4) Dimensions of all structures. (5) Location of trash containers and of heating, cooling and ventilation equipment and systems.

Yards adjoining any residential zone shall contain a buffer area consisting of berming, landscaping and/or fencing for the purpose of screening noise, sight, sound and glare. A reasonable attempt shall be made to preserve as many existing trees as is practical and to incorporate them into the site plan. Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes January 14, 1991 Page 7 Where areas abut residential districts, a buffer area of a minimum depth of 100 feet will be required. Such a buffer area shall be completely constructed and approved by the City prior to all final City inspections for construction on site.

REQUEST FOR PLANNING COM_`TISSION REVIEW Meeting Date: AGENDA TOPIC: Acknowledge Reappointment of Ann Bucheck, Steve DeLann_and Karen Johnston January 28, 1991 ITEM NO. 1. At the January 15, 1991 City Council meeting, Ann Bucheck, Steve DeLapp and Karen Johnston were reappointed to the Planning Commission.

REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW Meeting Date: January 28, 1991 AGENDA TOPIC: Limited Business (Continuation) ITEM NO. 4. Included in your draft minutes is the January 14, 1991 version of the Limited Business Zoning District. The Commission tabled discussion on a request to include a section that was removed by the Planning Commission from the proposed zoning district prior to the public hearing. That section read: (c) Other related sales marketed toward the automobile traffic and of an impulse nature such as gasoline sales, convenience store and deli foods may be allowed as part of the overall larger development and where said use is clearly subordinate to Staff is not suggesting ordinance. However, at other permitted land uses. that you include or exclude this from the the public hearing a request was made to consider putting this back into the ordinance, and one way or another, you should address this request, along with any other comments from the hearing, and make a recommendation to the council in your ordinance.

SD., SUITE 140, BLOOMINGTON, MN 55431 612/884.3029 FAX 884.9518 MFMnfpND114 TO: Lake Elmo Planning commission and City Administrator FROM: Mike Black DATE: January 24, 1991 RE: LB ZONE - LOT COVERAGE At the January 14, 1991 Planning Commission meeting action regarding maximum lot coverage in the proposed LB zone was tabled pending further study. The attached data sheets help support my recommendations which are to: 1, Maintain the maximum lot coverage by all structures as proposed - 25%. 2 The maximum lot coverage by buildings, parking lots, driveways and other hard surfaces be 50% regardless of lot size. 3. Section (E) (9) be expanded as: Sewer Discharge: No sewer discharge shall exceed a ratio of 3.0 SAC units per 3.5 acres. No single on -site sewer system Shall be designed to handle more than 5000 gallons per day. Each parcel must dedicate areas for primary and secondary on -site sewer treatment areas. DATA SHEET 1 This is a tabulation of how other cities or counties regulate lot cover. Three methods are typically used; 1) maximum impervious surface, 2) maximum building coverage and 3) floor area ratio. An 80% total impervious surface coverage is typical where sanitary sewer and municipal water is available. Where on -site sewer systems are used, such as Afton, a 50% maximum coverage is applied. The maximum building coverage on a commercial or industrial parcel varies from 20% in Woodbury B-1 zone to 50% in the Olmsted County Service Commercial Zone. The definition of floor area ratio (FAR) is "the numerical value obtained through dividing the gross floor area of a building or buildings by the net area of the lot or parcel of land on which such building or buildings are locate." A FAR of 50% on a 40,000 square foot parcel would permit a building with 20,000 square feet of gross floor area. JAN-24-'91 THU 15:25 ID:JHNES R HILL INC TEL NO:612 884-9518 t885 PO4 Lake Elmo Planning Commission January 24, 1991 Page 2 r)ATR SHEET 2 This exhibit shows the setbacks standards for parking areas and buildings on four different hypothetical lots in the LB zone. Setbacks vary depending upon if they are a corner lot, interior lot or a lot adjacent to a residential zone. In all cases, the parking lot setbacks require a minimum green area of 45% of the total lot area. The remainder of the lot, 55% of the total area, could be impervious surface - parking or rooftop. The potential building area coverage is from 33% to 53%. DATA sw1FT S This is a calculation of a 25% building coverage on a minimum 3.5 acre lot in the LB zone. The building area plus the required parking spaces together total 63% of the lot as impervious surface area. We know however from data sheet 2 that this is not possible because 46% of the lot area is green space along. A building with less required parking may achieve a 25% building coverage on a lot. p ATR gRPF.T 4 The purpose of this data sheet is to show that regardless of the final recommendations for percentage of building coverage or impervious surface coverage on a lot, the size of any development on a LB zoned parcel will depend on the limitation of 3.0 SAC units per 3.5 acres. The City Engineer does not feel we should increase the number of SAC units for each 3.5 acre parcel. This standard comes from the highway overlay zone limitation of no more than 8 SAC units per 10 acres. In fact, the City Engineer recommended that we also put a maximum limit on the size of an individual on -site sewage treatment system. His recommendation was that no single system be allowed to be designed for more than 5000 gallons per day. This would prevent the clustering of a large development with a large private treatment system. SUMMARY As proposed, the 25% maximum building coverage is reasonable and in line with the City Ordinances for this type of zoning. I do not see the need for a sliding scale of percent coverage of impervious surface based upon the lot size. A 50'% impervious lot coverage will allow greater use and flexibility but in most cases will not be possible to achieve due to the SAC unit limitations on each site.

At your last meeting, you requested staff to obtain' the architectural standards from Stillwater. I talked with Steve Russell, Stillwater's planner who sent me their standards. He also suggested that I contact Apple Valley as he thought they had the best standards around. Apple Valley's planner will be sending me a packet of information. It will not be in this packet, but if I receive it on Friday, I will mail it out to you so you will have some time to look at it -before the meeting, otherwise, it will be a handout at the table. I beleive that Wyn John may have some information relative to these standards as well. I also talked with the Assessor's office in Woodbury regarding "The Seasons", which is a 28,000 square foot strip mall designed in conjunction with The Seasons residential development, by Hans Hagen. This 28,000 square foot building has an assessed valuation for 1990-91 of $1,499,700. (similar to the new Lake Elmo Bank). The tax benefit for Lake Elmo only on that assessed valuation based on our tax capacity rate of 15.494 would amount to $11,440.77. Woodbury also gave me the assessed valuation of the new "Auto Stop" located on Radio Drive near their city hall. The assessed valuation of that. 5,650 square foot structure is $479,500 which would amount to $3,600 in taxes with Lake Elmo's tax capacity rate of 15.494. DESIGN GUIDELINES Design guidelines have been developed for the West Stillwater Business District to ensure consistent quality design. The guidelines will be used to review new development proposals.
