Approval of Minutes for the Planning Commission Meeting of June 23, 2016
Commissioner Knauss made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Rosenquist, to approve minutes for the
meeting of June 23, 2016.
All Ayes. Motion carried.
Discussion on Te_mporar_y Health Care Dwellings
Leitz presented on the temporary family health care dwelling ordinance. She stated that in May 2016, the
Governor signed a bill into law that allows landowners with existing residences to place a temporary dwelling
on their property to provide short term care for a relative with mental or physical impairments. Leitz described
the requirements the dwelling must meet and the application process for residents that would be interested in
this use. She stated that the law requires cities to follow and implement the new ordinance beginning
September 1, 2016 and it would take a considerable amount of staff time to prepare to accept applications, as
the approval process varies from the normal process. Leitz also stated that it was in staffs opinion that tracking
and monitoring permits, once approved, would also take a considerable amount of time and although a permit
has expired, that may not mean the health care issue has also expired. Leitz stated that Cities may opt out of the
law by passing an ordinance, which requires a public hearing through the Planning Commission and approval
by the City Council. Leitz concluded by saying that staff recommends that the Planning Commission discuss
the temporary family health care dwelling ordinance and provide staff with comments. Because the new law
alters the City's level of zoning authority and the structures have the potential to change the character of the
area, staff recommends opting out of the temporary family health care dwelling ordinance.
The Planning Commission agreed that these structures, if allowed in all zoning districts, would change the
character of many neighborhoods. They believed the 15 day review period was too short to ensure these
structures were reviewed adequately. They stated that a healthcare issue will probably not be resolved in a 6-12
month period, which is the expiration of a permit. The Planning Commission believed that the City can
accommodate residents on a case by case basis and accomplish the law's intent through ordinances the City
already has performance standards for.
Commissioner McRoberts made a motion, Commissioner Rosenquist seconded, to recommend opting out of the
temporary family healthcare dwelling ordinance with a provision that the Planning Commission review the
current ordinances that are similar to the intent of the temporary family healthcare dwelling ordinance and make
revisions, if necessary.
All Ayes, motion carried.

PLANNING AND ZONING APPLICATION
STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Rachel Leitz, Community Development Assistant
SUBJECT: Daryl Bolieek. Interim Use Permit for a Brewing Operation Home
Occupation
DATE: August 3, 2016 for the Planning Commission Meeting of August 11, 2016
ZONING: Agricultural (AG)
LAND USE: Agricultural (AG)
REVIEW DEADLINE: October 25, 2016 (Extended)
1. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting approval of an interim use permit for a home occupation for a brewing
operation at the property located at 9480140t" Street North. The property is 40 acres and is located
in the Agricultural zoning district.
2. LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING:
The City's discretion in approving or denying an Interim Use Permit use permit is limited to
whether or not the permit meets the standards outlined in the Comprehensive Land Use
Regulations. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the interim use permit.
3. BACKGROUND:
In the Spring of 2016, staff began a discussion with the applicant in regards to operating a beer
brewing process on his property located at 9480 140t11 Street North. The applicant has described
his business as a start-up, but wants to plan for future growth, and therefore is asking for flexibility
on some of the general home occupation standards. This is permitted since the applicant resides
within the rural area of the City.
The applicant has stated that he would like to use all of both accessory buildings on the site. The
business would be operating out of a 3,750 sq. ft. accessory building (building A) and a 1,250 sq.
ft. accessory building (building B). The applicant has stated that building A will be used for office
Bolicek IUP
Page 2
work and the production of beer and would house all equipment needed for the brewing process.
Building B will be used for cold storage and the staging of kegs for distribution.
The applicant is the owner of the business, resides on the premises, and currently has one
employee. This employee, the Head Brewer, presently lives at the residence as well. This
employee brews beer and manages brewing operations. The applicant has stated that he would
like to add two more employees as the business grows, which could be within two years. The
second employee, the Brewer's Hand, would assist the Head Brewer in the production of beer.
The third employee, the Sales Director, would organize the finished products, perform data entry,
manage customer accounts, and carry out sales calls and deliveries. In total, there may be up to
four business employees (including the owner) on site during business hours. These employees
will be making daily trips to and from the applicant's property. The applicant has stated that he
would need a maximum of six trips per day, his Head Brewer two trips per day, the Brewer's Hand
two trips per day, and the Sales Director four trips per day. The applicant is asking for, in total,
14 trips per day with one added trip per week for grain and hop delivery. The count of these trips
were calculated solely based on business related activities.
The applicant currently has a conditional use permit for a driveway that crosses a vacant piece of
land owned by another resident. The large lots within this area and land fragmented by wetlands,
the applicant's home and accessory buildings are screened from view from adjacent properties and
the road. The applicant currently stores two pick-up trucks, which are both personal and business
vehicles, within the home's garage. The applicant described purchasing a refrigerated truck and a
delivery van as the business grows in the next two years. The applicant has stated that the delivery
van will go home with the Sales Director, while the refrigerated truck will be parked outside of
building B.
The ordinance states that business hours shall be 7:00 a.m. — 9:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday
and 8:00 a.m. — 8:00 p.m. on Sundays. The applicant has stated that he will be operating the
business within these time standards set by ordinance. The applicant has also stated that there will
be no noise produced from the brewing operation and that there may be a light odor produced from
the brewing process, which generally lasts one hour, and will be done three times per week.
4. ANALYSIS:
The zoning code outlines a number of general standards for the operation, of home occupations. If
a home occupation complies with the standards, a permit is not required. Home Occupations that
do not meet the general standards may be approved in some cases with an interim use permit. In
rural areas of the city, there is more flexibility for approval of certain home occupations because
they are less likely to negatively impact adjacent property owners and impact the character of the
neighborhood than in the urban residential areas of the City. A rural home occupation may be
granted in areas within the Agricultural, Long Term Agricultural, Future Urban Service, and Rural
Residential zoning districts or within any urban zoning district on property greater than 10 acres
in size. With an interim use permit, the applicant may request exceptions to several of the general
standards. In this case the applicant is requesting exceptions to three of the general performance
standards as described below:
2
Bolicek IUP
Page 3
(3) All home occupations shall be conducted entirely within the principal dwelling, except that
up to 50 percent of the total floor area of accessory structures (e.g., attached garages, detached
garages, and other outbuildings) on a site may be used for the storage of equipment, trailers, or
materials related to the home occupation, provided that no assembly, display, manufacturing,
repair, or other business operations are conducted within an accessory structure. In no event
shall the storage of materials related to a home occupation result in fewer parking spaces than
required by this code.
The applicant is proposing to use 100% of both accessory buildings on site. Staff feels comfortable
with this request because all business operations are proposed to be conducted within building A,
while building B will solely be utilized for storage of the finished product. The operations that
would be occurring inside of building A are not plainly evident to adjacent property owners, and
staff is not opposed to the entire building being used for the home occupation.
(7) No home occupations shall generate on average more than eight vehicle trips per day,
including no more than one delivery vehicle of a type that customarily serves a residential area.
Vehicle trips related to the home occupation from customers and clients should generally be by
appointment only.
The applicant is proposing flexibility to this standard because the number of average vehicle trips
exceeds the general ordinance standard. The applicant has indicated that for the first year of his
business, there will only be two employees, which will yield a maximum number of trips of eight
per day. The applicant stated that as the business grows and two more employees are hired, the
maximum number of vehicle trips would be fourteen per day. In addition, there will be grain and
hop deliveries made once per week. Since there are such few homes along 140t11 Street, staff does
not believe this number of trips would negatively affect the residents and future residents along
140t1' Street.
(12) No more than one person, other than those who reside on the premises, shall engage in
business activities on the premises. The business may employ others only if their work activities
are performed off the premises.
The applicant is proposing flexibility to this standard because as the business grows, the applicant
expects to hire more employees. The infrastructure for the brewing process would already be
established at the applicant's home, therefore, employees would need to report to the site for
business activities. Because of the nature of the rural area and this property, staff believes the
business activities conducted on site would generally not be noticed by neighboring residents and
having more than one employee on site is reasonable.
5. CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL OF A HOME OCCUPATION INTERIM USE
PERMIT:
An application for a home occupation interim use permit may only be granted upon a finding that
all the following criteria have been met:
41
Bolicek IUP
Page 4
(A) The applicant owns the property and resides at the principle residential address associated
with the home occupation unless the Council determines that unique conditions or circumstances
warrant special arrangements.
The applicant owns the property and resides at the principle residential address associated with
the home occupation.
(B) The proposed home occupation is allowed as an accessory use in the respective zoning
district and conforms to the zoning ordinance.
A home occupation is allowed as an accessory use in the Agricultural (AG) zoning district.
(C) The proposed home occupation is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the zoning
ordinance.
The spirit and intent of the ordinance is to allow for the operation of home occupations, as long
as the operation of the occupation is not evident to surrounding property owners. Because the
applicant's home and both accessory buildings are screened from view from any neighboring
properties and from the road, it is staffs opinion that the proposed business is keeping with the
spirit and intent of the ordinance.
(D) The proposed home occupation is compatible with the present character of the surrounding
area.
This area is characterized as a rural residential setting with houses spaced apart on large parcels
of land. Many of these parcels also have accessory structures on site. Since business operations
will be housed within accessory structures on the applicant's property, it is in staff s opinion that
the home occupation is less likely to negatively impact the character of the area.
(E) The proposed home occupation shall have a set date in which the permit shall be reviewed
and extended through the renewal process or terminated.
The interim use permit shall be reviewed in one year and shall expire in two years, September 6,
2018.
(F) The home occupation will not impose additional unreasonable costs on the public
The home occupation would not impose additional unreasonable cost to the public
(G) The proposed home occupation shall be subject to, by agreement with the property owner,
any conditions that the City Council deems appropriate for permission of the use.
To operate the business on the property the applicant will have to sign the interim use permit and
agree to the conditions outlined in the permit. The interim use permit will be reviewed in one
year.

6. CONCLUSIONIRECOMMENDATION:
In conclusion, staff has discussed the proposed business at length with the applicant. In s� rural
residential setting such as this, the operation of a home occupation should be almost unnoticeable
to the neighbors. The location of the buildings and the natural features of the site seem to provide
enough of a buffer to eliminate disturbance to any adjacent neighbors. The applicant is allowed to
ask for flexibility on six of the general standards for home occupations since the proposed home
occupation is located in the rural area of the City. The applicant has requested flexibility on three
of these standards, which include flexibility on the use of accessory structures, number of vehicle
trips, and number of employees. It is in staff opinion that the flexibility requested based on the
general standards is reasonable.
Staff recommends approval of the home occupation interim use permit application with the
conditions listed in the attached resolution.

DEPARTMENT
Memorandum
TO: Hugo Planning Commission
FROM: Rachel Leitz, Community Development Assistant
SUBJECT: Temporary Family Health Care Dwellings
DATE: August 3, 2016 for the Planning Commission meeting of August 11, 2016
L PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE
On July 14, 2016 the Planning Commission discussed the temporary family health care dwelling
ordinance. The Planning Commission agreed that these structures, if allowed in all zoning
districts, would change the character of most neighborhoods. They believed the 15 day review
period was too short to ensure these structures were reviewed adequately. They stated that a
health care issue will generally not be resolved in a 6-12 month period, which is the expiration of
a permit. The Planning Commission believed that the City can accommodate residents on a case
by case basis and accomplish the intent of this law through ordinances the City already has
performance standards for.
The Planning Commission recommended opting out of the temporary family health care dwelling
ordinance with a request that the Planning Commission review the current ordinances that are
similar to the intent of the temporary family healthcare dwelling ordinance and make revisions, if
necessary.
2. CITY COUNCIL UPDATE
On July 18, 2016 the Council discussed the temporary family health care dwelling ordinance.
They talked over other methods available to residents who were experiencing health situations,
and generally felt zoning issues are best controlled at a local level. They believed that the City
has the ability to provide housing for those that are dealing with this type of situation and need.
The Council agreed the City has carefully crafted neighborhoods and permitting these types of
dwellings would be out of character with many neighborhoods in Hugo.
The Council recommended that staff move forward with the process to opt out of the ordinance
to provide temporary family health care dwellings.
3. BACKGROUND:
On May 12, 2016, Governor Dayton signed, into law, a bill creating a process for Iandowners to
place a temporary residential dwelling on their property to serve as a family health care dwelling.
Page 2
Community desire to provide transitional housing for those with mental or physical impairments
and the increased need for short term care for aging family members served as the catalysts
behind the legislature taking on this initiative. The resulting legislation sets forth a short term
care alternative for a "mentally- or physically impaired person", by allowing them to stay in a
"temporary dwelling" on a relative's or caregiver's property. This affects all properties with
existing residences in the City. Per the statute Cities can opt out with adoption of an ordinance
or resolution.
4. TEMPORARY HEALTH CARE DWELLING:
The law requires cities to follow and implement the new temporary family health care dwelling
law beginning September 1, 2016. Cities will need to be prepared to accept applications and
must be ready to process the permits in accordance with the 15 -day timeline required by the law.
Cities may opt out of the new law. The new law alters a City's level of zoning authority for these
types of structures, especially with provisions where accessory structure or recreational vehicle
ordinances do not apply. City's ordinances are made to preserve a neighborhood's character.
This new law would allow this type of structure in all zoning districts, even those that would not
allow them.
Other considerations should be the permitting process and enforcement after the permit period
has expired. As stated before, a new permitting process will have to be considered, as these
requirements differ from standard application review requirements. This will take a considerable
amount of staff time, which all needs to be completed before September 1, 2016. If the City
were to move forward with this process, there would need to be staff time devoted to tracking
approved permits and approving renewals at the six month mark. Once a one year period has
expired, staff would then need to begin a monitoring process to ensure the temporary health care
dwelling was removed from the property. Staff believes this process may be difficult because
even though a permit may expire, a healthcare issue generally does not and there may be an
unfavorable response from permit holders.
Cities that wish to opt out of this law must pass an ordinance to do so, which requires a public
hearing through the Planning Commission and an approval of the ordinance by the City Council.
5. ACCESSORY APARTMENTS / ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS:
The City does allow structures that meet the intent of the temporary family health care dwelling
law. Accessory apartments are allowed in the Long Term Agricultural, Agricultural, Rural
Residential, Central Residential, Central Business, and Future Urban Service zoning districts via
a conditional use permit. Accessory apartments are defined as "a room or suite of rooms,
including sleeping facilities, dedicated for the use of persons living separately from others in the
building."
The City also allows accessory dwelling units in the Long Term Agricultural, Agricultural, Rural
Residential, and Future Urban Service zoning districts. The purpose and intent of the ordinance
is to provide supplemental, but separate living quarters to the primary residence. The
2
Page 3
supplemental living quarters are intended to provide separate living space with separate cooking
and plumbing facilities for an individual that is receiving care from or providing care or service
to residents living in the primary residence. A housekeeper, nanny, elderly relative, care provider,
guests or employee of a home occupation or farm are examples of individuals that may reside in
the accessory dwelling unit. The ordinance is not intended to provide a second dwelling unit on
the property for a second family or for rental purposes.
6. CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION:
The law goes into effect September 1, 2016 and automatically applies to all cities that do not opt
out or don't already allow temporary family health care dwellings as a permitted use under their
local ordinances via a building permit.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission open the public hearing for resident comments
and provide a recommendation to the Council. Because the new law alters the City's level of
zoning authority and the structures have the potential to change the character of the area, staff
recommends opting out of the temporary family health care dwelling ordinance.
