Staff report by Kendra Lindahl. Diane Bistodeau is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to operate a hair salon out of the basement of her home located at 20806 York Street NW.

Staff report by Scott Harlicker. Kober Excavating Inc. has requested a conditional use permit for outdoor storage located at 16110 Jarvis Street NW. The property is zoned 1-2 (Medium Industrial) and the surrounding properties are also zoned 1-2. The property contains a house, small garage and two storage sheds. To the rear of the house and garage is a shop facility and outdoor storage area. The applicant, Kober excavating and the current owner Mr. Johnson are planning on subdividing the property in the fall of 1996 into two lots with the intention of the applicant purchasing the shop and outdoor storage area on one lot and Mr. Johnson retaining ownership of the residence on the other. A 12 foot wide paved access will be installed and a paved parking area with four parking spaces on the south side of the shop adjacent to the fenced in . . . Planning Commission Minutes April 23, 1996 Page 3 storage area. Mr. Alan Lafontaine, of Kobar Excavating, is proposing to screen the outdoor storage area with a fence. The zoning code requires the fence to be 100% opaque and not less than five feet high. Landscaping is also required and should be used to supplement the screening that the fence provides, 25 trees are required. The applicant wants to delay putting in the driveway and fence so Mr. Lafontaine can combine it all together in his loan. Chair Dillon opened the public hearing. There being no comments from the public, Chair Dillon closed the public hearing. Commissioner Kuester asked how many employees will be there at one time. Mr. Lafontaine stated he has 16 employees but only 3 will be there at one time. Chair Dillon is concerned about 2 vehicles coming in at the same time because the driveway is only 12 feet wide. Commissioner Minton asked if Mr. Lafontaine is willing not to have outdoor storage until the fence is up. Mr. Lafontaine stated he has to have the outside storage. Peter Beck, City Attorney stated Mr. Lafontaine should have a letter of credit stating when the landscaping, fence and asphalt will be done. COMMISSIONER MINTON MOVED THE PLANNING COMMISSIONER RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST BY KOBAR EXCAVATING FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR OUTSIDE STORAGE, PUBLIC HEARING CASE NO.

Planning Commission Minutes April 23, 1996 Page 4 Staff report by Steve Ach. Sf. Andrews Catholic Church is requesting a conditional use permit to construct a church addition to its existing facility located at the northeast corner of Irving Street and 4th Avenue. This area is zoned Rlc (Single Family Residential) and R2 (Two Family Residential) / MR (Medium Density Residential). The new church will be approximately 23,000 square feet and initially have 1,000 seats, expandable to 1,500 seats. Along with the church, a new parking lot facility and upgrading of their current parking facilities will be included. To complete construction of the new church and parking lot, THE existing house on site will need to be removed. The existing school, rectory, youth center and church will remain on site. The church is bordered on the west and south by residential streets. Proper buffering along the north edge of the property will be recommended as part of the site improvements. The zoning ordinance requires one parking space per three seats of the main seating area. Based on 1,000 seats proposed at this time, 333 on site parking spaces would be required. However, the church will not be able to provide the required number of stalls on-site; therefore will have to utilize the on street parking on Irving and 4th Street. The church also has parking spots located at the Mork Clinic. Steve Ach summarized some of the outstanding issues relating to the site plan. . In order to define primary drive aisles and provide for some landscaping opportunities within the parking area, it is recommended that some landscape/traffic control islands be installed within the parking area. . Based on the number of parking stalls on site, two additional handicap stalls may be required. . The eastern-most entrance onto 4th Avenue would be best located to align with Holt A venue immediately to the south. This will avoid any minimal offsets and improve traffic circulation. This may require relocating a street light and street sign. . The new entrance onto Gates A venue is wide enough to accommodate one lane entering the site and two exiting. This certainly will improve the ability for vehicles leaving the site; therefore, staff would recommend extending the widened section a little bit further west to improve the stacking distance for both the left and right hand turn move leaving the church onto Gates A venue. . The angled parking along 4th Avenue includes a couple of stalls at each end of the row that should probably be removed and striped for no parking. Removing these stalls will improve visibility as vehicles are . . . Planning Commission Minutes April 23, 1996 Page 5 traveling in and out of the angled parking area, as well as along the other drive aisles and on adjacent public streets. . Concrete curb and gutter is proposed throughout a majority of the parking lot. The one exception to this is the eastern edge of the new parking facility which is planned to be expanded at some future date. Therefore, this section will be constructed with a bituminous curb that can be easily removed along with the expansion plans. Otherwise, all parking areas which would not change with any future expansion plans will be completed with curb and gutter. . Additional improvements are also proposed along 4th Avenue where at this time, the church utilizes a portion of public right-of-way for parking and there is no clear definition, (Le. curb, landscaping) between the on site parking area and 4th A venue. The proposed improvements would include a landscaped median with curb and gutter to separate the angled parking from the traffic on 4th A venue. . The new driveway along the north property line that extends from the new parking lot to Gates A venue will at some point intersect with an existing residential driveway from a house at the northeast corner of the property. Based on the plans that have been submitted, it is uncertain how this driveway intersects with the proposed driveway and how those two driveways will compliment one another. Further detail will need to be submitted identifying any adjustments that may be necessary as part of this project. . Throughout St. Andrews' campus are a variety of existing trees. The plan identifies approximately 31 existing trees and approximately 27 being proposed along with the expansion plans. Based on these numbers, the City's landscaping requirements are being satisfied. . It is not mentioned on the plans how high the light pole will be throughout the parking area. The one area of primary concern are the light poles along the north edge of the parking lot which again, may cause some conflict with the overhead power lines. . Bruce West, Fire Chief stated in his memo to the Commission that there shall be two additional hydrants located within the church complex. Chair Dillon opened the public hearing. Dennis Murray, 524 4th Street, stated he would like to see hedging and fencing. Mr. Murray would also like to see the pond sprayed for mosquitoes. Mr. Murray also would like to make sure the parking lot lights are facing the parking lot. Commissioner Minton stated the lights usually shine down to the parking lot and is in favor of landscaping. Chair Dillon closed the public hearing. Planning Commission Minutes April 23, 1996 Page 6 . Carry Lyons, VanMan Construction stated the light standards are 30 feet high and lights are usually directed down towards the parking lot. St. Andrews Church stated they would spray the pond if necessary and put in the landscaping for Mr. Murray. Commissioner Minton asked how they will expand on the 1,500 seating. Mr. Lyons, VanMan Construction stated the seating will be added within the proposed building. Commissioner Minton asked if there would be a problem regarding the driveway on 4th Street to align with Holt Ave. Mr. Lyons stated that would not be a problem and that 2 to 3 parking spots would be lost. Commissioner Sullivan asked if the property owner with the merging driveway has any idea about merging their driveway with the church. A representative from St. Andrews Church stated the resident does not know we need to do this. COMMISSIONER SULLIVAN MOVED THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST BY ST. ANDREWS CHURCH FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT A NEW CHURCH FACILITY, PUBLIC HEARING CASE NO. CU 96-6 BASED ON THE FINDING IN THE STAFF REPORT AND THE CITY ENGINEER'S LETTER, AND THE FACT THERE WAS NO OPPOSITION DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING, SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1.

Stephen Rohlf is requesting a 5 foot variance on the required 10 foot side yard setback and a 2 foot variance on the required 30 foot front yard setback. The variance is requested in order to expand the existing deck located at 12821-188th Avenue NW. The applicant is now proposing to add an 8' x 9' addition to the existing deck. This addition will require him to encroach 5 feet into the side yard setback and 2 feet into the front yard setback. Mr. Rohlf stated the variance is considered a hardship and the deck will allow the applicant to see his children in the play area on the opposite side of the house. The applicant also believes that this additional 2 feet will allow him a usable deck area without cutting down the tree in the front . . . Planning Commission Minutes April 23, 1996 Page 7 yard. The tree will be made part of the deck expansion. There is an underground stream running through the property which required that the home crowd the west lot line. Chair Dillon opened the public hearing. There being no comments for the public, Chair Dillon closed the public hearing. Commissioner Minton is not impressed with extending the deck 2 feet just to see the children on the other side. Commissioner Thompson does not like the idea. Commissioner Thompson does not think this request is a hardship. Commissioner Dillon would like to see the tree kept in the plans.

Commissioner Minton stated the City of Elk River is looking for the best way to let Cargill do operations the way it has been done. We want a balanced growth for the community. Tim Thomas, Attorney for Cargill, stated Cargill has no intentions of every leaving Elk River. staff report by Scott Harlicker. The City of Elk River is requesting to amend Section 900.12, Section 900.18 and Section 908.06 of the City of Elk River Code of Ordinances relating to permitted and conditional uses in the agricultural and single family residential zones, dimensional regulations for accessory uses and setbacks for stables, barns, and agricultural fences. . At the March 26,1996 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission discussed a variance application to the required 300 foot setback and a conditional use permit to have a horse. As a result of this application the following issues were raised: the difficulty of complying with setbacks from something over which they have not control, the size of the setback and the issue of differentiating between platted and unplatted property when determining if a conditional use permit is needed. Commissioner Kuester had questioned whether a horse is a hobby or an agricultural animal. Steve Ach, City Planner stated according to the State of Minnesota a horse is considered an agricultural animal. Scott Harlicker stated the current method of measuring the setback of an agricultural building from an adjacent residential structure can cause problems. It does not allow a property owner to plan out or phase development of their property regarding placement of an agricultural building and fence. Their plans hinge on where their neighbor places their house or constructs an addition. By measuring the setback from a fixed point, like principle structures and other accessory structure are, the uncertainty of not knowing if they will be able to complete their plans is removed. The current setback requirements are 300 feet for agricultural structures and 200 feet for livestock fences. . The current Ordinance has two criteria that are used to determine if an agricultural use is a permitted use or a conditional use, size of the property and whether the property is platted or unplatted. In the A-1 and R 1 a zones, the minimum lot size required to have agricultural activity (Le. horses) as a permitted use is five acres on unplatted property. If the property is platted, no matter how large the lot is, agricultural uses require a conditional use. In the other single family residential zones, agricultural uses are only allowed as a conditional use on 10 unplatted acres. Planning Commission Minutes April 23, 1996 Page 9 . This can result is some very unusual situations. In the A-1 zone, where the minimum lot size is ten acres, a person could have a 10 to 15 acre platted parcel and still be required to obtain a conditional use to have horses and the neighbor, with only 5.5 acres of unplatted property, could have horses as a permitted use. To a lesser extent, the same type of situation could also happen the R 1 a zone; two neighbors could have similar sized parcels and if one is platted and the other is not, the unplatted lot could have a horse as a permitted use and the platted lot would require a conditional use permit. Chair Dillon opened the public hearing. There being no comments for the public, Chair Dillon closed the public hearing. COMMISSIONER THOMPSON MOVED THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVE OF THE REQUEST BY CITY OF ELK RIVER FOR ORDINANCE AMENDMENT (SETBACK REQUIREMENTS FOR BUILDINGS AND FENCES RELATED TO AGRICULTURAL USES), PUBLIC HEARING CASE NO. OA 96-6 AND REQUEST BY CITY OF ELK RIVER FOR ORDINANCE AMENDMENT (PLATTED/UNPLATTED RELATED TO AGRICULTURAL USES), PUBLIC HEARING CASE NO. OA96-5, BASED ON THE FINDINGS IN THE STAFF REPORT AND THE FACT THERE WAS NO OPPOSITION DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING, TO APPROVE THE CODE AMENDMENTS AS PRESENTED IN THE ATTACHED ORDINANCE AND TO AMEND THE 30 FOOT SETBACK TO 5 FEET FROM THE REAR OF THE HOUSE AND THEN 10 FEET FROM THE REAR OF THE HOUSE FORWARD AND REDUCE 10 ACRE DOWN TO LOT SIZE OF 5 ACRES. COMMISSIONER SULLIVAN SECONDED THE MOTION THE MOTION CARRIED 6-0. Staff report by Scott Harlicker. The City of Elk River is requesting to amend Section 900.03 and Section 900.12 of the City Ordinance relating to definitions, light industrial uses, medium industrial uses and highway commercial uses. The purpose of the 1-1 District is to serve as a transition between more industrial uses, residential and other business uses. The district is appropriate for manufacturing, warehousing and similar industrial uses. The industries should be compatible with each other and with surrounding land uses. The 1-2 District, on the other hand, is intended to accommodate more intense manufacturing and processing than would be allowed in the 1-1 District. These uses may tend to generate more off-site impacts than those allowed in the 1-1 District. In an attempt to develop a list of allowable uses that better reflect the stated purposes of the two industrial districts, staff reviewed other ordinances and incorporated some of the uses found in those ordinances with uses found in Elk River's ordinance. The result can be found in the following list of suggested allowed uses. Commissioner Minton suggested relabeling 1-2 to heavy manufacturing rather than medium manufacturing. . Planning Commission Minutes April 23, 1996 Page 10 . Chair Dillon opened the public hearing. There being no comments for the public, Chair Dillon closed the public hearing. COMMISSIONER MINTON MOVED TO TABLE THE REQUEST BY CITY OF ELK RIVER FOR ORDINANCE AMENDMENT (PERMITTED AND CONDITIONAL USES IN 1-1 AND 1-2), PUBLIC HEARING CASE NO. OA 96-4. COMMISSIONER SULLIVAN SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 6-0. 5j~ l!;!I'i'!li.ir~I;..tII..;I~.:lllli'.I;. staff report by steve Ach, City Planner. The City of Elk River is bringing forward an ordinance amendment to consider deleting the requirement that commercial and industrial development within the urban service district be required to hook up to city water and sewer in order for development. The primary issue is whether to continue with a fundamental growth management strategy which controls commercial and industrial development from occurring unless water and sewer is available. Or, to amend the current ordinance to provide the opportunity for commercial, industrial and business park development to occur prior to the availability of city water and sewer. The Fire Chief has included a memo speaking to the department's concern with development without adequate fire protection. . The goal of the Fire Department is to lower (improve) the City's rating both in the urban and rural area. In order for this to occur additional equipment may need to be purchased to adequately fight fires in the rural area. If the desire of the Planning Commission is to amend the ordinance, one option is to require a conditional use permit with certain criteria to allow development prior to city water and sewer. The City Council is also looking at an appraisal and public hearing for the East Highway 10 corridor for water and sewer. This may shed new light on this entire matter; therefore another option is to table this item until those events are completed. Commissioner Anderson would like to discuss this issue further.
