3. PUBLIC HEARING: St. John's Lutheran Church
5274 Stillwater Blvd.
Move an Existing Building into the City
Planner Dillerud explained that the applicant proposes to move an existing 24' x 26' double garage
from another location to replace the attached garage to be moved from the parsonage. He said
Building Official Jim McNamara visited the site of the structure on Saturday, October 21, 2000, and
reported that the garage is in excellent condition. After explaining that City Code states "the
exterior color, design, and materials shall be similar to the principal structure," he noted the
Planning Commission must make a recommendation concerning the "similarity" of the proposed
structure to be moving in before addressing a motion regarding the move itself. He said a condition
should be added to the move -in recommendation requiring either the parsonage or garage exterior
surfaces be modified in some manner to become more similar.
Pastor Dave Malchow
St. John's Lutheran Church
Pastor Malchow said the church congregation intended to comply with the ordinance by changing
the exterior surface of the garage structure within one year of approval
M/S/P Armstrong/Sedro - to recommend the City Council approve the application of St.
John's Lutheran Church to move a 24' by 26' garage structure, as inspected by the Building
Official October 21, 2000; and in accordance with plans submitted by the applicant, onto its
site in Lake Elmo; conditional upon the church changing the exterior surface within one
year of approval.
(Motion Passed 9-0).

4. PUBLIC HEARING: David & Mary Johnson
9287 Jane Road
Variance to Ordinary High Water Level in Shoreland
Planner Dillerud said the applicant proposes additions to the existing structure consisting of a 16' x
26' garage addition to the north; and, a 14' x 24' addition to the south -referred to as an office by the
applicant. He explained that since the total lot depth available between the OHW of Lake Jane and
the East (Lake Jane Road) property line is less than 100-feet, both additions would constitute OHW
setback non-compliance. He said that all pertinent factors considered, including the nature of the
variance applied for; the physical constraints of the site; the physical location of the proposed
additions to the structure; the applicant's documentation regarding compliance with the Variance
Standards; and, the intent and purpose of the Shoreland Ordinance -specifically the OHW setback
standards, staff recommends approval of the variance based on the condition that enlargement of
the wastewater system to a daily capacity of 600-gallons in compliance with the Minnesota Rules
7080 for a 4-bedroom home.
Commissioner Deziel presented a copy of State Statutes 7080 - Sewage Flow Determination for
Dwellings.
Ken Huber
Applicant's Architect
Mr. Huber stated that he had researched the site, and determined that residence is a Class II
dwelling.
Chairman Armstrong opened and closed the comment portion of the Public Hearing at 7:26

M/S/P Armstrong/Sessing - to approve Resolution 2000-50, a Resolution Granting a
Variance from the Shoreland Standards to David and Mary Johnson, 9287 Jane Road North,

1. The City Engineer and the City Building Official shall review the
proposal to determine if the site is a Class I or Class II dwelling.
(Motion Passed 8-0).
5. PUBLIC HEARING: SRD (Suburban Residential District)
Amend Zoning Definition
Planner Dillerud explained that at the September 11, 2000, meeting, the Planning Commission
requested staff schedule a Public Hearing to consider an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan
definition of SRD. He reminded the Commissioners that they had adopted an alternative that
changed the maximum allowable density from 1.4 units per net acre to 0.9.

M/S/P Sessing/Helwig - to recommend the City Council amend the Comprehensive Plan

SRD (Suburban Residential Development)
Areas of the City, primarily, but not exclusively, adjacent to lakes where lot
sizes and resulting density exceeds that of land use classifications and zoning
established in the City in 1990, and existing as platted "lots of record" as of
(insert date of enactment).
The residential dwelling unit density of any newly developed SRD site shall
not exceed 0.9 units per acre, net of DNR Protected Wetland.
(Motion Passed 6-1-1). Opposed: Brass; density. Abstain: Deziel.
6. MINOR SUBDIVISION: Dan, Jean, & Carl Olinger

two adjacent (and related) property owners. He noted that Carl Olinger is the current owner of the
larger parcel; and, Dan and Jean Olinger are the owners of the smaller parcel as presented in the

approving the Lot Consolidation and Minor Subdivision for Daniel, Jean, and Carl Olinger
