7.2 Variance: Water Oriented Structure Size, Benjamin Poythress - 13640 Island View Dr NW
The staff report was presented.
Councilmember Grupa opened the public hearing on behalf of Mayor Dietz.
Andrea and Benjamin Poythress, 13640 Island View Dr NW, applicant, asked for approval of a
modest storage shed so their family can safely store lake equipment. Mrs. Poythress explained that a lot
of their land is wetland that they pay taxes on, and explained that they take care of their property, and
added that the shed would not be about luxury but about function. She continued to explain that a
10x10 shed would not be able to store a 10-foot kayak and safety equipment. She also stated that they
did receive support from the neighbors and submitted eight letters of support.
Councilmember Grupa closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Grupa asked what the yardage was from your back door to the storage area. Mr.
Poythress stated that it is about 100 yards, but it is not a straight path; it is a winding path.
Councilmember Wagner stated that they did receive eight letters of support from their neighbors,
saying that there are no hardships due to the request. Councilmember Wagner agreed with them that
they didn't know the deck and the building would be considered as one. She stated that she does not
think it is an unreasonable request to build a deck to enjoy the lake and have an enclosed building to
store things on the lake. She would rather see things stored in a building than under a deck or out in
Page 6 of 318

the yard. She stated that, given the situation, she thinks it is a reasonable request.
Councilmember Calva asked if the city is concerned that if we allow this one, then the city will have
eight other requests to build larger structures in their backyards. Mr. Leeseberg asked how to say no to
someone who is asking for the same kind of request.
Councilmember Calva asked if it was visible from the lake. Mrs. Poythress stated that it was not, and it
is in a private bay. Councilmember Calva asked if the neighbors could see it from their backyard. Mr.
and Mrs. Poythress explained that, considering the wooded lot, it would be hard to see.
Councilmember Calva explained that he would have no problem making an exception in this case as
long as there were not going to be eight other exceptions.
Councilmember Wagner stated that they do not know if there are going to be other requests, and
every project should have its own merit.
Councilmember Beyer thanked them for what they have done and stated that they have done the work
by talking to their neighbors, to the city, and to the DNR. He explained a lot of times, exceptions are
hard to make when you have negative neighbors and such, but in this case, there are none, and he has
respect for them doing the work. He also thanked them for keeping up the work on the easements.
Councilmember Beyer explained that he knows it is a hidden area and no one is ever going to see it. He
went on to explain that, given the situation, he could support the exception.
Moved by Councilmember Wagner and seconded by Councilmember Beyer, directing
staff to draft a resolution making Findings of Fact, approving the variance to exceed the
permitted size of a water-oriented storage structure, for approval at the January 5, 2026,
Council meeting. Motion carried 5-0.
7.3 Variance: Parking and Wetland Setback to Support Development of an Apartment Building, Pat
Briggs - 17379 Twin Lakes Rd NW
The staff report was presented.
Councilmember Grupa opened the public hearing on behalf of Mayor Dietz.
Patrick Briggs, 17379 Twin Lakes Road, subject property, handed to the Council a letter that was
presented to the neighbors. Mr. Briggs explained that they have been kind and cordial to the neighbors
throughout the years, but now it is time to develop the property and move forward. Mr. Briggs
compared this property to the Hillside Heights property to the north regarding parking requests and
stated his request is reasonable. He went on to explain different aspects of why the Council should
approve the variance.
Councilmember Calva stated his biggest concern is that the person has private access.
Matthew and Morgan Lerfald, 17395 Twin Lakes Rd NW, explained that the letter they
received from Mr. Briggs does not feel genuine, which they received on Friday before Monday's Council
meeting. They stated that they tried to reach out to Mr. Briggs multiple times, but have not been able
to get a hold of him or anyone. Every time they call, they go to an answering machine, and nobody ever

gets back to them, other than when he denied them a utility easement to get natural gas to their home.
They tried to get a utility easement along the driveway, and he denied them the easement. Mr. Lerfald
stated that this feels like a scare tactic, stating that if they didn't talk at the meeting, he would buy their
property. They explained other concerns they had regarding the apartment complex going in this area.
Brad Brummer, 14524 145th Court NW, stated that he is in the process of selling his home and
explained that he would look for a new apartment to rent; therefore, he supports the apartment
building at this location.
Councilmember Grupa closed the public hearing.
Mayor Dietz explained that the Board of Adjustments pointed out that Mr. Briggs would not need the
variances if he reduced the size of his project and stated he would not be voting for either one.
Councilmember Wagner explained the reason for the denial from the Board of Adjustments is that it is
a new project, and the applicant knows what the land has and doesn't have, and could be solved by
changing the size. She stated every project has to stand on its own merit. This project is not the same
as other projects, and she has concerns about the easement portion of the driveway. She has a hard
time coming up with a reason to go against the Board of Adjustments, stating that it's a new project,
and it could be taken care of with a couple of adjustments. For these reasons, she will not be able to
support the request.
Councilmember Beyer stated that he does not see a traffic study and has no clue how that will affect
anything. Mr. Carlton explained that a traffic study has been submitted to the Public Works
Department. This is a variance component. The land use portion will be a different conversation.
Councilmember Beyer explained that we don't know how things are going to change with the
Northstar gone. He explained that Elk River has grown and grown and questioned how big we want Elk
River to get. He explained that at this point, he would be sticking with what the Board of Adjustments
suggested and would be voting against it as well.
Councilmember Grupa has concerns regarding the project and thinks that Mr. Briggs could make some
adjustments as well. He stated he would not be voting for the variance either.
Moved by Mayor Dietz and seconded by Councilmember Calva to direct staff to draft a
resolution making Findings of Fact, denying two variances, one requesting a reduction in
the number of parking stalls required for an apartment building, and second, a six-foot
encroachment into the wetland buffer setback, as the following standard required for
approval of a variance has not been met:
4. The plight of the petitioner is due to circumstances unique to the property and is a
consequence of the petitioner's own action.
The City Council would consider the resolution on January 20, 2026. Motion carried 5-0.
7.4 Resolution 25-78 and Ordinance 25-17: Amend City Plans to Support Commercial Uses,
Sherburne County - 11401 205th Ave NW

The staff report was presented.
Councilmember Grupa opened the public hearing on behalf of Mayor Dietz. There being no one to
speak to this matter, Councilmember Grupa closed the public hearing.
Moved by Councilmember Wagner and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt
Resolution 25-78 amending the land use guidance for 11401 205th Ave NW from Rural
Residential to Highway Business, subject to the condition that Sherburne County prepare
and record a Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions limiting the use of the property to
a billboard. Motion carried 5-0.
Moved by Councilmember Wagner and seconded by Councilmember Calva to adopt
Ordinance 25-17 amending the zoning map for 11401 205th Ave NW from R-1a (Single-
Family Residential) to C-3 (Highway Business), subject to the approval of the associated
land use amendment, Case No. LU 25-03. Motion carried 5-0.
8. GENERAL BUSINESS
8.1 Hearing: Tobacco Compliance Failures for Ralphies Minnoco
City Attorney Jared Shepherd presented the staff report.
Police Juvenile Detective Sergeant Don Birdsall explained the compliance check procedure.
Mark Lees, Sherburne County Health and Human Services, reiterated the compliance check
process and explained that they are not trying to trick anyone. The underage person tells the truth if
asked and provides their normal ID when requested.
Brian Brehmer, owner of Ralphie's Minnoco, stated that he agrees with what Sergeant Birdsall
and Mr. Lees stated, that they are not trying to trick them. Mr. Brehmer explained that the only reason
he decided to have a hearing was not to get out of the violation, but that he wanted to state on public
record that they do their best to train employees, but sometimes they fail. He explained he has another
gas station in Clear Lake that they pass every time. He continued to explain that they do the training
and go through the procedures. Mr. Brehmer continued to say that the person who was working that
day took the ID quickly, looked at it, and sold it anyway. He said they have a swipe machine for IDs, and
the employee did not even swipe it like they were trained to do.
Mayor Dietz just confirmed that the ordinance does state a $1,000 fine and a 7-day suspension. Mr.
Shepherd confirmed that, yes, that is the ordinance.
Councilmember Wagner understands the business and understands that it can be hard when needing to
ID people, but they need to hold to the ordinance.
Moved by Councilmember Calva and seconded by Mayor Dietz to deny the appeal. Motion
carried 5-0.
8.2 Cannabis Business Plan
Page 9 of 318
City Council Minutes
December 15, 2025
---------
Page 8 of 14
The staff report was presented.
Mayor Dietz asked why they would want to terminate the architect agreement when they are planning
on building a new liquor store. Mr. Stremcha explained that they would be modifying the existing terms
and conditions to remove the cannabis store from the design. Currently, it is an agreement for both
Cannabound and Northbound, so they would have to end one agreement and have a new agreement
for just Northbound.
Mayor Dietz questioned the extra fees for ending the original agreement. Mr. Stremcha said they have
already gotten far along with the architect's design, and they would have to amend the design. For
example, if they are turning an interior wall into an exterior wall, there would be hourly charges to
make those changes.
Mayor Dietz asked about the cannabis manager and confirmed that April 10 would be her last day. Mr.
Stremcha stated yes, unless she went on unemployment, then the city would pay the unemployment.
Mayor Dietz wanted confirmation of what he heard she would be doing. He heard that she would be
working at the Furniture and Things Community Event Center to help due to a lack of a chef. Mr.
Stremcha clarified that it would be a short-term help and not a guarantee of work. It could be to help
with catering events.
Mayor Dietz stated that he disagrees with counting staff time towards the $500,000 cost. He stated that
staff time is staff time and should not be singled out. He also stated that he would not include the price
of the land either. He explained to his perspective that all they had stuck in the cost was her wages and
the architect's fees.
Mr. Stremcha wanted to reaffirm that the staff time calculated has been staff time specifically allocated
to cannabis.
Mayor Dietz explained that he thinks the staff did a good job, and he is taking a lot of responsibility for
what has happened, and feels bad that he had not said anything sooner, but we have to move on. He
explained he agrees with building the new liquor store and selling the old store.
Councilmember Grupa asked how much square footage was for Cannabound. Mr. Stremcha stated that
Cannabound was 5,000 square feet total. Councilmember Grupa asked what they are going to charge
for the changes. Mr. Stremcha explained he has rough estimates and won't know the total until the
hourly rates have been applied, but he can get what has been spent to date. Councilmember Grupa
asked for numbers and stated that a building is a building, and suggested making the liquor store bigger,
so you are not cutting off the 5,000 square feet.
Councilmember Wagner wanted clarification regarding the discontinuation of the THC sales. Mr.
Stremcha explained that they have a 90-day supply, which would coincide with the manager's layoff.
Councilmember Wagner explained that she would not discontinue THC sales at the liquor stores and
that, to her, they are separate from Cannabound, unless the Federal law stops it. She also stated that
the THC sales are something that is already in place.
Councilmember Beyer asked for an explanation of why staff wanted the THC sales stopped.
Page 10 of 318
City Council Minutes
December 15, 2025
---------
Page 9 of 14
Mr. Stremcha explained at the December 1 Council meeting that this topic was talked about in the
Work Session, so no formal action could be taken, but based on the context of selling cannabis and the
decision that was discussed at the work session to not sell cannabis in preparation between then and
now, they included taking out the THC products at the liquor stores. He further explained that
whether it is a cannabis plant or a hemp plant, it is a THC end product, whether it is sold at
Cannabound or the liquor stores. He stated that they would like clarification on the rationale for selling
products at Cannabound versus the liquor stores. He continued that if one is acceptable and one is not,
he would like to understand the difference.
Councilmember Beyer stated that the conversation was based on Cannabound, not the THC drinks
that are in the stores now, and said there was no conversation about THC drinks.
Councilmember Grupa said that the liquor store is the liquor store; we are talking about the marijuana
store. He stated in his opinion that they are separate.
Councilmember Wagner wanted to clarify that as a Council, we would agree for the THC drinks to
continue. She stated she would make a motion on that if need be. She also stated that we shouldn't
make the footprint smaller and that it should continue to be the size it is currently. She continued to
explain that there are so many unknowns, and things keep getting changed at the state and federal levels
right now. She expressed that she applauds the work that staff has been doing and has the utmost
respect for the staff.
Mayor Dietz asked if the footprint stays the same, would they avoid the extra fees? The Council
discussed and stated that there would still be some fees. Mayor Dietz then brought up whether they
would be able to lease part of the space for retail space and put a fake wall up, so that if they decide not
to lease anymore, they could take the fake wall out.
Mr. Stremcha asked for clarification from the Council if the direction from the Council is to maintain
the exterior of the building, but not the interior, so it would be a hollow shell. Councilmember Wagner
asked if they needed to make that decision right now. Mr. Stremcha stated not necessarily.
Councilmember Wagner said that she would want to take time to think about that.
Mayor Dietz wanted clarification. Mr. Stremcha asked whether the intention was to install a concrete
floor, but no flooring or ceiling tile or anything, or would it be designed for a cannabis retailer, or would
it be designed for a future use that we would be intending to use the space for.
Councilmember Grupa stated that he thinks we need to wait for that because we are talking about
mechanicals and other things that need to be put in before you put in concrete.
Mr. Portner explained that we can build the exterior footprint and leave it a hollow shell until we find
out what kind of potential client we get into the building.
Councilmember Calva asked if we could set parameters for what kind of space is allowed.
Mayor Dietz asked Mr. Shepherd if they could set parameters for what could go into that space. Mr.
Shepherd stated they could.
Councilmember Wagner stated that she would disagree with having any parameters on it at the
Page 11 of 318
City Council Minutes
December 15, 2025

Page 10 of 14
moment, especially since it is a new thing. She thinks that the audiences that are talking to each of them
are different, and wants to wait until things settle down and there is clearer guidance. She doesn't want
to be pigeonholed to not allow something that could be a viable business, for fear of Elk River turning
into a stoner town, as a generalization.
Councilmember Calva shared that he does not have a fear of it, but thinks it's what the community is
asking for and referenced the Open Forum speaker regarding cannabis. He stated he is okay with the
new building, but he does not ever want a cannabis store next to the new liquor store because it is a
city-owned store, and people would assume the city was involved with the cannabis store.
Councilmember Beyer wanted to get back to how staff got back to the $500,000 number. He stated
that he does not agree with adding the property to the $500.000 for the cannabis store because the
property is the property and stated that they could get someone in there easily, and these costs are not
only presented to them but to the whole city, and he doesn't think that the $500,000 number is true,
along with other Council members.
Mr. Stremcha reiterated that the market value for that property is not what they purchased the lot for;
they intended to purchase the lot at a premium with the intention that they would receive the
additional revenue from Cannabound to help offset those sales and investment in the lot.
Councilmember Beyer stated the revenue from Cannabound would not come for two-three years. Mr.
Stremcha stated that it is relevant and that it would be the same for Northbound; they do not intend to
recoup the Northbound investment in the first year of business. He explained it is a loan, no different
than a bond, that they would build the building and have a 10-20 year repayment event of that
investment. He further explained that the expectation for Cannabound to have a 100% recoup
investment is the same equation as Northbound, and it is not feasible.
Councilmember Beyer also stated that we don't know what the state of Minnesota will be taking in
taxes right now. They may decide they need to take more.
Mr. Stremcha answered, saying that whatever the state were to issue the sales tax to be is what they
would have to pay, and that it would not affect the purchasing power of the product, it is a sales tax.
Mayor Dietz questioned how to separate out Cannabound and the liquor store for the purchasing of
the land, because either way, we would have to have purchased the whole piece of property. Mr.
Stremcha explained that we went in knowing that we were paying a premium and knowing that they
would have a better chance of recouping costs and investment over time.
Mayor Dietz stated that he thinks the only out-of-pocket expense was for the cannabis manager's wages
and insurance.
Councilmember Beyer asked the Council if they could agree that they could come up with some ideas
of what they could do, and doesn't think they can solve everything tonight.
Councilmember Grupa stated that he is not rushing into anything, but whatever you want to discuss, so
we can move forward we can. He suggested keeping the building the same size as it is currently
proposed.

Mayor Dietz asked the Council if they agreed to build a new building. The Council agreed, except for
Councilmember Beyer, who wants to make sure we are doing it the right way, and stated, as he said in
the meeting before, that they are going to bond 8.2 million, and it is going to be paid for with
installment payments. Councilmember Beyer asked Mr. Stremcha what the amount would be for the
installment payments. Mr. Stremcha explained that he does not have that number on him right now, but
explained that the intention would be a 15–20 year bond repayment schedule, depending on the
interest rates at the time. Councilmember Beyer stated that now we are going to have a bond payment
and was questioning how it will affect the money coming out of the liquor store fund to the general
fund and parks and recreation fund, which helps to lower taxes.
Mayor Dietz explained that there was money that was going to be 2 to 2.8 million dollars that was
going to be used to do repairs to Northbound that would come out of the liquor store fund in addition
to the $850,000 that was already paid for the lot; with that said, there will not be $850,000 to be put
into the city coffers. He explained there might be some depending on the bond payments, but most of it
will either have to go to repair the current store or build a new one.
Councilmember Beyer explained that he would like to see it all before he says yes and moves forward,
stating that he thinks he is being a good steward to the community.
Mayor Dietz stated that they need to make a decision and move on. He said that after what they saw
today, there is no way he would agree to sink a bunch of money into the current store for repairs.
Councilmember Grupa asked Mr. Stremcha what he needed from them tonight. Mr. Stremcha went
over the action items as stated in the staff report.
Mayor Dietz asked if they should talk to the architect before they decided on the contract. Mr. Portner
explained that if the Council is okay with what the footprint is, then Items 2 and 3 do not need to be
acted on tonight.
Moved by Mayor Dietz and seconded by Councilmember Calva to discontinue the
implementation of the Cannabis Business Plan (approved Feb 3, 2025) until more
information is available. Motion carried 5-0.
Moved by Councilmember Calva and seconded by Councilmember Grupa to approve a
layoff of the Cannabound Manager effective April 10, 2026. Motion carried 5-0.
Mr. Portner added that the projected annual payment for the Northbound bond schedule was
$263,812, and $131,906 projection for Cannabound, which will already be less, so a rough projection
would be in the $300,000 payment range.
8.3 2026 Meeting Calendar: City Council and Advisory Boards
The staff report was presented.
Moved by Mayor Dietz and seconded by Councilmember Wagner to approve, the 2026
City Council and Advisory Boards meeting calendars. Motion carried 5-0.

10. WORK SESSION
10.1 Ebikes/Scooters on City Sidewalks and Trails
The staff report was presented.
The Council discussed with staff regarding the different types of E-bikes and scooters, how fast they can
travel, and safety concerns.
Chief Kuhnly and Parks and Recreation Commissioner Dave Anderson were in attendance.
Mayor Dietz asked if they could paint a white line down the middle of the trails and say one side bikes,
one side walkers.
Mr. Shelby stated that it is a possibility, and they will be looking into that.
Mr. Shelby asked if they should include sidewalks and downtown.
Mr. Anderson explained that E-Bikes can be ridden on pavement, and the only dirt trail they can ride on
is a class one at Hillside, and scooters can ride on pavement. He stated that nothing can ride on grass
or unpaved trails. He further explained that E-bikes have created a whole new world for pedestrians,
and our trails were originally planned for pedestrians. He expressed that he doesn't like scooters or E-
bikes on trails, but they kind of have to be there. He stated what you do with sidewalks is a different
topic, but there has to be some kind of restrictions on sidewalks. He also stated that you actually
cannot split the trails with half pedestrians, half E-Bikes because you don't want two E-bikes coming at
each other on a 4-foot path. He added, if you have rules, then people know the rules; right now, no one
knows the rules.
Mayor Dietz asked Chief Kuhly if he thinks they should differentiate sidewalks in certain areas that are
heavily populated, like downtown. Chief Kuhly stated that his concern is that kids are driving these, and
they only know how to navigate sidewalks, not streets, and is concerned that if we say no scooters on
sidewalks and put kids on the roadway, then kids are just going to cut across the roadways, because
they don't know any different. He understands that there is a concern regarding the speed, but he is
more concerned about putting a kid on the road who doesn't know how to navigate the roadway.
Councilmember Wagner asked if they could start with the trails and not the sidewalks yet, then start
the conversation about sidewalks later, and start educating people.
The Council directed staff to move forward with the ordinance pertaining to trails and take out
sidewalks.

Mr. Portner stated that they have the direction they need to move forward from the decisions made
earlier in the meeting. They will present the numbers as they receive them.
Staff will meet with the architect and bring information back to the Council.
10.3 Vehicle Acquisition and Replacement Policy Manual
The staff report was presented.
The Council reviewed the suggested policy and gave direction for Mr. Litfin to move forward with the
plan.
10.4 Red Dot Pistol Sights
The staff report was presented.
Mayor Dietz asked if it was a one-time expense. Chief Kuhly explained that the pistol itself is a one-time
purchase, and the red dot is a one-time purchase, with the possibility of replacement over time for the
red dot. He stated they last for 5-7 years.
Mayor Dietz asked if we knew for sure if there would be a surplus for the purchase. Mr. Portner stated
we would have to get back to the Council with the numbers.
The Council gave him direction to continue to move forward with the plan.

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Elk River approving the Water-Oriented
Structure size variance at 13640 Island View Dr NW
WHEREAS, Benjamin, (“Applicant”), has applied (“Application”) for a Variance (Case
No. V 25-18) to exceed the allowed square footage of a Water Oriented Structure in the
R1b Single Family District at 13640 Island View Dr NW, Elk River, MN (“Property”); and
WHEREAS, the record in this matter includes all of the materials submitted to the
Board of Adjustments and City Council in connection with the Variance Application;
including the staff reports and all attachments thereto, all other written materials
submitted to the Board of Adjustments and City Council, and all staff presentations and
other testimony taken at the public meetings considering the Application for the
Variance, all of which is incorporated in and made a part of the findings of fact and this
resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustments held a public hearing on October 28, 2025, to
receive testimony and evidence from city staff, the Applicant and any other persons
regarding the Application; and
WHEREAS, the applicant requested to postpone action until the November 25, 2025,
Planning Commission meeting to provide additional time to explore alternative
solutions/designs.
WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustments continued the public hearing on November 25,
2025, to receive testimony and evidence from city staff, the Applicant and any other
persons regarding the Application; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustments denied the Application as the request does not
satisfy all the standards required for issuance of a variance.
WHEREAS, the Application was automatically appealed to the City Council, who held
a public hearing on December 15, 2025, to receive testimony and evidence from city
Page 66 of 318
staff, the Applicant and any other persons regarding whether the Application should be
approved; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant and all others wishing to speak were given the opportunity
to present testimony to the Board of Adjustments and City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, on December 15, 2025, reviewed the findings of the
Planning Commission and city staff, and at the conclusion of their review on the
Applicant’s Application, directed staff to prepare a resolution making findings of fact
approving the Application as the request satisfies all standards required for issuance of
a variance.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Elk River makes the following:
FINDINGS
1. City Code § 30-635 provides for analysis and findings required to be the grant of
a variance. The Application and proposed structures meet all required findings
in City Code § 30-635(b)(1)-(2) and (c)(1)-(3) as provided below:
City Code § 30-635(b):
(1) The variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the
ordinance.
The intent of the lakeshore setback and accessory structure standards is
to provide some unique storage (400 sf. max) opportunities because of
the relationship to a water feature. Due to the terrain and wetlands, the
proposed location is the only area where a larger accessory structure can
be built. The variance is therefore in harmony with the purpose and
intent of the ordinance.
(2) The variance is consistent with the City of Elk River comprehensive plan.
The property is guided as Traditional Single Family Residential. The
suburban residential category predominately consists of single-family
detached homes occupying moderately sized lots. This land use is the
most prevalent residential type within the Urban Service Area and
consists of a range of neighborhood typologies. The district should
accommodate single-family attached, townhomes, and duplexes which
have varying setbacks, in some cases down to zero. While the proposal
does not meet the ordinance, providing for accessory structures is
consistent with the comprehensive plan.
City Code § 30-635(c):
Page 67 of 318
(1) The petitioner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not
permitted by the zoning ordinance;
While the size of the Water-Oriented Structure exceeds the allowed
amount, the overall amount of accessory structure square footage is not
exceeded.
(2) The plight of the petitioner is due to circumstances unique to the
property not a consequence of the petition's own action or inaction; and
The unique circumstances are topography, wetlands, and the distance
from the lake to buildable areas on the property is a great distance.
(3) The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the
locality.
The proposed structure would not alter the essential character of the
area as there are other water-oriented structures on the lake.
2. Taking into consideration all the testimony and evidence received, including
statements from the applicant, staff reports, and the findings of the Board of
Adjustments, the City Council finds that the Applicant’s proposal meets the intent
of the ordinance and would not alter the essential character of the locale.
DECISION
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ELK
RIVER, MINNESOTA, based upon the information received and the above Findings, the
City Council of the City of Elk River hereby approves the Variance Application V 25-18 to
exceed the allowed square footage of a Water-Oriented Structure at 13640 Island View
Dr NW, Elk River NW, Elk River, MN.
Passed and adopted this 20th day of January 2026.

Item Description
Variance: Structure Size Variance, Benjamin
Poythress - 13640 Island View Dr NW
Reviewed by
Zack Carlton
Action Requested
Deny, by motion, the variance proposal to exceed the permitted size of a water-oriented storage structure,
as the following standards have not been met:
1. Allowing a structure nearly twice the size of what is permitted within the shore impact zone does not
meet the general purpose and intent of the ordinance.
2. The property has a land use guidance for residential, and the proposed single-family residential use is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The proposed use is not reasonable as the property already contains a permitted 100 SF. water-
oriented structure that serves the intended purpose of storing lake-related equipment.
4. There are no circumstances unique to the property that create hardship. The request results from
the applicant’s desire for additional space, which is a self-created condition, not a property hardship.
5. Granting the variance would permit a structure nearly twice the size allowed within proximity to the
lake that could alter the essential character.
Background/Discussion
The Board of Adjustments initially reviewed this request on October 28, 2025, and after hearing comments
and concerns from the Board, the applicant requested to postpone action until the November 25, 2025,
meeting to provide additional time to explore alternative solutions/designs. Prior to providing any alternative,
the applicant requested an explanation be provided specifying the ordinance language that requires a deck to
be included in water-oriented structure square footage, as well as additional information. That
correspondence is included as an attachment. They have reduced the size of the deviation, and are now
requesting a 10-foot x 17-foot building addition. An outline of the proposed square footage is as follows:
• 100 SF. Existing Building (10’ x1 0’)
• 320 SF. “Proposed” Deck (currently under construction)
• 420 SF. Existing Water-Oriented Structure (400 allowed)
• 170 SF. Proposed Building (10’ x 17’)
• 590 SF. Total Existing and Proposed
Page 69 of 318
While the existing conditions exceed the maximum allowed square footage by 20 SF, a viable alternative,
which the Board suggested at the October meeting, is utilizing space under the deck for storage, which may
satisfy the applicants' desire for additional storage.
Staff’s concern has been, and continues to be, that there is no plight/circumstances unique to the property
that created a hardship to allow for an increase in personal storage. The desire for additional storage is not a
hardship but a plight the property owner created.
Applicable Regulations
Variances may be granted when the petitioner establishes that the variance satisfies all five of the criteria
described below. The variance is:
1. Is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the ordinance, and
Applicants’ response: This request is in harmony with the intent of the ordinance because it allows us to safely and
responsibly improve existing lakeshore amenities without creating environmental impacts. The variance supports the
continued use of a modest storage structure for water-oriented items (kayaks, oars, lifejackets, etc.) and the
replacement of a deteriorating deck with a safe structure. Neither project contributes to erosion, runoff, or shoreline
degradation.
The intent of the lakeshore setback and accessory structure standards is to provide some unique storage (400
sq.ft. max) opportunities because of the relationship to a water feature and to preserve the natural character
of the shoreline, protect water quality, and maintain consistency among lakeshore properties. Allowing a
structure larger than what is permitted within the shore impact zone would conflict with these goals. The
variance is therefore not in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance.
2. Is consistent with the City of Elk River comprehensive plan.
Applicants’ response: The request is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan by preserving the residential and
recreational character of the lakeshore. The addition to the small storage shed ensures adequate space for water-
oriented equipment, while the rebuilt deck provides safe access and enjoyment of the property. Both improvements
update pre-existing structures and are compatible with the development pattern of surrounding lakeshore homes.
While the property has a land use guidance for residential, and the proposed single-family residential use is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the plan also emphasizes protecting natural resources, especially
along lakes and wetlands, by enforcing setbacks and size limitations for structures near the water. Expanding
the existing water-oriented structure beyond ordinance limits is not consistent with these objectives.
Variances may be granted when the petitioner establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with
the zoning ordinance. Practical difficulties means that:
3. The petitioner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning
ordinance;
Applicants’ response: The proposed improvements are reasonable uses of a lakeshore property. Expanding the existing
shed provides adequate space to safely store water-oriented equipment, preventing shoreline clutter. Replacing the
deteriorating deck ensures safe enjoyment of the property while aligning with typical residential lakeshore uses.
The property already contains a permitted 100 sq.ft. water-oriented structure that serves the intended
purpose of storing lake-related equipment. The applicant also has sufficient space elsewhere on the property
to construct additional storage structures that meet ordinance requirements. The desire for additional
Page 70 of 318
convenience or larger storage capacity does not constitute a practical difficulty. Therefore, the request does
not represent a reasonable use that is otherwise prohibited by the ordinance.
4. The plight of the petitioner is due to circumstances unique to the property, not a consequence of the
petition's own action or inaction; and
Applicants’ response: The property’s unique site conditions—including the shoreline location, wetlands, and
easements—limit alternative placement of both the shed addition and the deck. These constraints create practical
difficulties in meeting zoning requirements while still allowing safe and reasonable use of the property. The request is
not the result of actions or inactions by the property owners.
There are no circumstances unique to the property that has created a hardship. The lot is a standard
lakeshore parcel with adequate buildable area for compliant accessory structures outside the shore impact
zone. The request results from the applicant’s desire for additional space, which is a self-created condition,
not a hardship.
5. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Applicants’ response: The requested variance will not change the essential character of the neighborhood. Nearby
lakeshore properties commonly have decks and small water-oriented storage structures. The proposed improvements
are modest in scale, consistent with surrounding properties, and will preserve the residential and recreational nature of
the lakeshore.
Granting the variance would permit a structure nearly twice the size allowed within proximity to the lake,
setting a precedent inconsistent with surrounding lakeshore development patterns. Approval would alter the
essential character of the locality by introducing a more intensive level of lakeshore development than
intended by ordinance.
Findings
Staff find that the requested variance does not meet the required criteria for approval. There is no
demonstrated hardship or unique property condition that justifies exceeding the allowed size for a water-
oriented structure. The property already benefits from a permitted structure that serves the intended
purpose and expanding it would conflict with the intent of the ordinance to protect lakeshore character and
water quality.

City of Elk River Definition - Water-oriented accessory structure or facility means a small,
aboveground building or other improvement, except stairways, fences, docks, and retaining
walls, which, because of the relationship of its use to a surface water feature, reasonably
needs to be located closer to public waters than the normal structure setback. Examples of
such structures and facilities include boathouses, gazebos, screen houses, fish houses,
pump houses, and detached decks.
Staff’s interpretation is the deck is detached from the house.
I. Purpose of This Submission
This memo is being submitted prior to the continued hearing scheduled for November 25,
2025 in order to:
1. Correct the square-footage calculation currently reflected in staff interpretation of the
variance request;
2. Provide the legal basis for excluding the deck from the water-oriented structure square-
foot limit under applicable ordinance and Minnesota law;
3. Request that staff update the staff report, or provide written clarification, prior to the
continued hearing so that the Board is evaluating the correct variance scope; and
4. Preserve the public record, given the statutory limitations on variance denial and the
appeal rights afforded under Minn. Stat. § 394.27.
This memo is not intended to replace oral testimony, but to ensure accuracy and
transparency in advance of the continued public hearing.
II. Correction to Variance Square-Footage Calculation
The current staff position frames the request as 780 sq. ft. (100 existing + 360 proposed
structure + 320 deck). (see city definition) That calculation is not supported by ordinance
language and materially misstates the variance request.
Actual enclosed structure square footage:
• Existing enclosed storage structure – 100 sq. ft.
• Proposed enclosed storage expansion – 360 sq. ft.
• Total enclosed structure – 460 sq. ft. (regulated)
Deck square footage:
• Elevated replacement deck – 320 sq. ft. (not enclosed, not used for storage)
• Ground impact = 2.73 sq. ft. (13 posts)
Actual variance requested:
Allowed = 400 sq. ft.
Proposed = 460 sq. ft.
Variance requested = +60 sq. ft.

III. Applicable Law – Minn. Stat. § 394.27, Subd. 7 (Practical Difficulties Standard) This is citing
the County statute for variances.
Minnesota law requires that variance decisions be based on the three-part “practical
difficulties” test. The statute does not authorize denial based on an internal staff
interpretation (see city definition) that expands the scope of the request beyond what is
legally regulated.
The statutory test Minn. Stat. 462.357, subd. 6 requires:
1. A reasonable use of property not permitted by ordinance; § 462.357 states: the property
owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning
ordinance.
2. Circumstances unique to the parcel; § 462.357 states: the plight of the landowner is due to
circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner.
There are no circumstances unique to the property that created a hardship to allow for an
increase of personal storage, regardless if it is 60 or 380 square feet over. The desire for
additional storage is not a hardship but a plight the property owner created. The property is
a standard lakeshore parcel with adequate buildable area for a code compliant water-
oriented structure.
3. No alteration of essential character of locality. § 462.357 states: the variance, if granted,
will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Additional information in § 462.357, Subd. 6
1. Is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the ordinance, and
2. Is consistent with the city of Elk River comprehensive plan.
The intent is to provide storage (400 sq.ft.) near the water, and as also noted in the Planning
Commission memo, to preserve the natural character of the shoreline, protect water quality,
and maintain consistency among lakeshore properties.
This analysis applies only to the portion of the project actually regulated — the enclosed
storage area. It does not permit a city to artificially inflate the size of a variance request by
including elements that are not regulated by ordinance. Staff are classifying the deck as a
water-oriented structure, as defined. Based on information staff have available, the deck
under construction is within a large wetland complex that would not allow a traditional deck
at all.
IV. DNR Shoreland Variance Guidance – Deck Classification
The Minnesota DNR Shoreland Management Variance Guidance (2021) distinguishes
between enclosed or roofed accessory structures and open platforms, walkways, and decks.
Only the former are counted toward structure square footage.
The deck portion of this project is an unenclosed elevated platform and therefore does not
fall within the regulated definition. It is detached deck/water-oriented structure (see city
Page 75 of 318
definition) and within a large wetland complex that would not allow a “traditional deck”. A
municipality can be more restrictive.
V. Comparison to Minnesota Municipal Practice
Multiple Minnesota cities with similar ordinance language interpret decks separately from
water-oriented accessory structures:
• City of Orono – Water-oriented accessory structure defined as “a small storage structure
used for recreational equipment.” Decks regulated separately.
• City of Scandia – Decks permitted in shoreland district but excluded from 400 sq. ft.
structure limit unless enclosed.
• City of Elk River - Water-oriented accessory structure or facility means a small,
aboveground building or other improvement, except stairways, fences, docks, and
retaining walls, which, because of the relationship of its use to a surface water feature,
reasonably needs to be located closer to public waters than the normal structure setback.
Examples of such structures and facilities include boathouses, gazebos, screen houses,
fish houses, pump houses, and detached decks.
• Staff’s interpretation is the deck is detached from the house.
VI. Deck Permitting Is Not Part of Variance Review
If the City determines that the deck requires a separate floodplain, shoreline, or building
permit, that process will be completed. Decks require a Building Permit, the current water-
oriented accessory structure is being built without a permit. However, Minnesota variance
law does not allow denial based on a permitting process that occurs outside the variance
standard.
Accordingly:
• The Board may approve or deny the variance now;
• Staff may still require deck permitting later; The city requires a permit for decks and water-
oriented structures
• The two are legally separate actions. Based on the city definition, the enclosed structure
and the deck are one unit and part of one action.
VII. Request for Staff Action Before November 25 Hearing
To prevent confusion at the hearing and ensure the Board is acting on a legally valid record,
we respectfully request:
1. That the staff report be updated to reflect the correct variance request of 460 sq. ft., not
780 sq. ft.; OR
2. That written explanation be provided specifying the ordinance language that requires a
deck to be included in water-oriented structure square footage. See water-oriented
accessory structure or facility definition.
If staff maintains the position that the deck must be included, we respectfully request that
Page 76 of 318
the justification be provided in writing so it can be reviewed by the Board, City Council (if
appealed), or a reviewing court. See water-oriented accessory structure or facility definition.
VIII. Record Preservation
Because variance denials must be supported by legally valid findings, and because
Minnesota courts routinely reverse denials based on misapplied standards, this memo is
being entered into the record to preserve our right to appeal if necessary.
IX. Conclusion
We respectfully request that staff update the variance calculation before the November 25
hearing so that the Board votes on the actual variance being requested (+60 sq. ft. enclosed
storage). We welcome further clarification or discussion prior to the hearing.
Sincerely,
Benjamin & Andrea Poythress

Item Description
Variance: Structure Size Variance, Benjamin
Poythress - 13640 Island View Dr NW
Reviewed by
Zack Carlton
Action Requested
Deny, by motion, the variance proposal to exceed the permitted size of a water-oriented storage structure,
as the following standards have not been met:
1. Allowing a structure nearly twice the size of what is permitted within the shore impact zone does not
meet the general purpose and intent of the ordinance.
2. The property has a land use guidance for residential, and the proposed single-family residential use is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The proposed use is not reasonable as the property already contains a permitted 100 SF. water-
oriented structure that serves the intended purpose of storing lake-related equipment.
4. There are no circumstances unique to the property that create hardship. The request results from
the applicant’s desire for additional space, which is a self-created condition, not a property hardship.
5. Granting the variance would permit a structure nearly twice the size allowed within proximity to the
lake that could alter the essential character.
Background/Discussion
The applicant is requesting a variance to exceed the allowed square footage (400 SF) for a water-oriented
structure by adding a 12’ x 30’ addition to the existing 10’ x 10’ storage shed as well as constructing a new
deck attached to the storage structure. The existing structure and the proposed additions are near the
Ordinary High-Water Level (OHWL). The proposal proposes a total of 780 SF of water-oriented structures,
exceeding the 400 SF permitted by ordinance.
• 100 SF. Existing Building (10’ x1 0’)
• 360 SF. Proposed Building (12’ x 30’)
• 320 SF. “Proposed” Deck (currently under construction)
• 780 SF. Total (400 allowed)
The applicant would like to replace an existing deteriorated deck with a larger, code-compliant structure of
320 SF, approximately 22 feet from the OHWL. The applicant has already begun construction of the
Page 78 of 318
replacement deck but has since stopped.
Applicable Regulations
Variances may be granted when the petitioner establishes that the variance satisfies all five of the criteria
described below. The variance is:
1. Is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the ordinance, and
Applicants’ response: This request is in harmony with the intent of the ordinance because it allows us to safely and
responsibly improve existing lakeshore amenities without creating environmental impacts. The variance supports the
continued use of a modest storage structure for water-oriented items (kayaks, oars, lifejackets, etc.) and the
replacement of a deteriorating deck with a safe structure. Neither project contributes to erosion, runoff, or shoreline
degradation.
The intent of the lakeshore setback and accessory structure standards are to preserve the natural character
of the shoreline, protect water quality, and maintain consistency among lakeshore properties. Allowing a
structure nearly twice the size of what is permitted within the shore impact zone would conflict with these
goals. The variance is therefore not in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance.
2. Is consistent with the City of Elk River comprehensive plan.
Applicants’ response: The request is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan by preserving the residential and
recreational character of the lakeshore. The addition to the small storage shed ensures adequate space for water-
oriented equipment, while the rebuilt deck provides safe access and enjoyment of the property. Both improvements
update pre-existing structures and are compatible with the development pattern of surrounding lakeshore homes.
While the property has a land use guidance of residential, and the proposed single-family residential use is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the plan also emphasizes protecting natural resources, especially
along lakes and wetlands, by enforcing setbacks and size limitations for structures near the water. Expanding
the existing water-oriented structure beyond ordinance limits is not consistent with these objectives.
Variances may be granted when the petitioner establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with
the zoning ordinance. Practical difficulties means that:
3. The petitioner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning
ordinance;
Applicants’ response: The proposed improvements are reasonable uses of a lakeshore property. Expanding the existing
shed provides adequate space to safely store water-oriented equipment, preventing shoreline clutter. Replacing the
deteriorating deck ensures safe enjoyment of the property while aligning with typical residential lakeshore uses.
The property already contains a permitted 100 sq.ft. water-oriented structure that serves the intended
purpose of storing lake-related equipment. The applicant also has sufficient space elsewhere on the property
to construct additional storage structures that meet ordinance requirements. The desire for additional
convenience or larger storage capacity does not constitute a practical difficulty. Therefore, the request does
not represent a reasonable use that is otherwise prohibited by the ordinance.
4. The plight of the petitioner is due to circumstances unique to the property, not a consequence of the
petition's own action or inaction; and
Page 79 of 318
Applicants’ response: The property’s unique site conditions—including the shoreline location, wetlands, and
easements—limit alternative placement of both the shed addition and the deck. These constraints create practical
difficulties in meeting zoning requirements while still allowing safe and reasonable use of the property. The request is
not the result of actions or inactions by the property owners.
There are no circumstances unique to the property that has created a hardship. The lot is a standard
lakeshore parcel with adequate buildable area for compliant accessory structures outside the shore impact
zone. The request results from the applicant’s desire for additional space, which is a self-created condition,
not a hardship.
5. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Applicants’ response: The requested variance will not change the essential character of the neighborhood. Nearby
lakeshore properties commonly have decks and small water-oriented storage structures. The proposed improvements
are modest in scale, consistent with surrounding properties, and will preserve the residential and recreational nature of
the lakeshore.
Granting the variance would permit a structure nearly twice the size allowed within proximity to the lake,
setting a precedent inconsistent with surrounding lakeshore development patterns. Approval would alter the
essential character of the locality by introducing a more intensive level of lakeshore development than
intended by ordinance.
Findings
Staff find that the requested variance does not meet the required criteria for approval. There is no
demonstrated hardship or unique property condition that justifies exceeding the allowed size for a water-
oriented structure. The property already benefits from a permitted structure that serves the intended
purpose and expanding it would conflict with the intent of the ordinance to protect lakeshore character and
water quality.

ISLAND VIEW FIFTH ADDITION
LOT 2, BLK 3
The narrative is your opportunity to describe, promote, and sell your proposal to the
Board of Adjustment and City Council (if needed) and should explain your request in
detail and how the five criteria are met in order to be granted a variance.
We are requesting a variance to add onto an existing 10’x10’ (100sf) storage shed used
for water-oriented equipment such as kayaks, oars, and lifejackets, and to rebuild a
deteriorating deck. We are proposing an additional 12'x30' addition to the existing
storage shed which puts the total square feet at 460sf and is 60sf over the 400sf that is
allowed. This addition is beyond the OHWL at 22' and does not encroach the 45' Wetland
Setback. This addition also adheres to the City of Elk River's Zoning Setbacks for
Accessory Structures and keeps the total square feet of attached/detached sf at 1,360
which below the 2,500sf that is allowed for our 2.53 acre property. Adding onto the
existing structure also keeps us at only one accessory structure. The existing deck was
not constructed to current codes and had become a safety concern due to its age and
condition. The proposed replacement deck is larger than the previous one but is
designed to be safe, code-compliant, and consistent with the character of surrounding
lakeshore properties. The deck will also be beyond the OHWL setback at 22’ and will be
320sf when completed.
A variance may be granted by the board only if it finds that:
The variance is in harmony with the
general purpose and intent of the
ordinance
This request is in harmony with the intent

The public hearing is open from the October 28, 2025 Board of Adjustments meeting.
Andrea Poythress, 13640 Island View Dr NW, presented their revised plan which reduced the
size requested to 590 square feet from the original 780 square feet. She stated that neighbors had
submitted letters of support which were distributed to the Commission for their reference.
Chair Beise closed the public hearing.

Chair Beise felt that 590 square feet was too much over the allowed 400 square feet. Commissioner
Booth agreed. Commissioner Johnson added that the request does not seem to meet the five criteria
for granting a Variance. He may be in favor of granting a Variance for 420 square feet, the size of the
existing site.
Moved by Commissioner Booth to deny the Variance proposal to exceed the permitted
size of a water-oriented storage structure, as the following standards have not been met:
1. Allowing a structure nearly twice the size of what is permitted within the shore
impact zone does not meet the general purpose and intent of the ordinance.
2. The property has a land use guidance for residential, and the proposed single-family
residential use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The proposed use is not reasonable as the property already contains a permitted
100 SF. water-oriented structure that serves the intended purpose of storing lake-
related equipment.
4. There are no circumstances unique to the property that create hardship. The
request results from the applicant’s desire for additional space, which is a self-
created condition, not a property hardship.
5. Granting the variance would permit a structure nearly twice the size allowed within
proximity to the lake that could alter the essential character.
Chair Beise asked if the Commission would like to approve a Variance for 420 square feet. Mr. Carlton
stated, if the Commission wished to approve that size they could amend their motion.
Moved by Commissioner Booth and seconded by Commissioner Johnson to amend the
Variance proposal to exceed the permitted size of a water-oriented storage structure by
20 square feet for a total size of 420 square feet. Motion carried 4-0.
Mr. Carlton stated that the applicant can appeal the Board of Adjustment decision in writing by
December 5, 2025. If the applicant appeals the decision the item will go to the December 15, 2025 City
Council meeting for review.
5.2 Variance: Parking and Wetland Setbacks in Support of an Apartment Building, Pat Briggs - 17379
Twin Lakes Rd NW
Mr. Carlton presented the staff report.
Chair Beise asked when the 24 month timeline for a proof of parking plan would begin. Mr. Carlton
stated it would begin when the certificate of occupancy was issued.
Commissioner Zahler asked about proof of parking for other similar sites. Mr. Carlton stated that Elk
River Lodge has had a proof of parking plan in place since 2017 and Clear Sky since 2023.
Commissioner Zahler asked if any of these sites has had to implement their plan. Mr. Carlton stated
that had not yet occured. Mr. Carlton added that the city may look to rewrite the ordinance that
pertains to parking.
Chair Beise opened the public hearing.

Morgan and Matthew Lerfald, 17395 Twin Lakes Rd, stated their concerns with the proposed
project including zoning in the area, issues with neighboring properties, traffic concerns, snow removal,
encroachment into the wetlands, and property values.
Ms. Lerfald asked the Commission to conduct a comprehensive traffic study from Highway 10 to 181st
Ave NW before a parking variance would be granted.
Mr. Lerfald asked the Commission to table the discussion and look at the zoning of the area.
Chair Beise closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Johnson stated he does not see the plight of the petitioner and cannot see approving
either variance. The applicant is able to work within the confines of the property. He would not
recommend any parking under 2 1/2 per unit.
Commissioner Booth asked if the decision on the application could be postponed while the
Commission looks at zoning of the site. Mr. Carlton stated that the Commission has to act on the
active application during a certain timeline under the current zone use.
Commissioner Booth agreed that there was plenty of room on the site to meet the parking and
wetland setbacks or the apartment size could be reduced.
Moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Booth to deny the
Variance request due to the request not meeting the five criteria, specifically criteria
number four.
Motion carried 4-0.
Mr. Carlton stated that the item will go to the December 15, 2025, City Council meeting for review.
6. MOTION TO ADJOURN REGULAR MEETING
Moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Booth to adjourn the
meeting. Motion carried 4-0.
The meeting adjourned at 7:08 p.m.

Action Requested
Direct staff to draft a resolution making Findings of Fact, denying the variance to exceed the permitted size of
a water-oriented storage structure, as the standards for approval, as noted below, are not met. The City
Council will consider the resolution on January 20, 2026.
1. Allowing a structure nearly one and a half times the size of what is permitted within the shore impact
zone does not meet the general purpose and intent of the ordinance.
2. The property has land use guidance for residential, and the proposed single-family residential use is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The proposed use is not reasonable as the property already contains a permitted 100 sf water-
oriented structure that serves the intended purpose of storing lake-related equipment.
4. There are no circumstances unique to the property that create hardship. The request results from
the applicant’s desire for additional space, which is a self-created condition, not a property hardship.
5. Granting the variance would permit a structure nearly twice the size allowed within proximity to the
lake that could alter the essential character.
Background/Discussion
The applicant is requesting approval to exceed the limit of 400 sf for a water-oriented structure by proposing
a combination of deck and structure improvements for a total of 590 sf. Throughout the review process, the
applicant has questioned the staff’s interpretation of what constitutes a Water-Oriented Structure, asserting
that the deck component should not be included because it is not used for storage. Staff consulted with legal
counsel, who confirmed that the deck is, by definition, a Water-Oriented Structure. These structures are not
limited to storage and, per city code, include boathouses, gazebos, screen houses, fish houses, and decks.
Public Hearing
The Board of Adjustments (BOA) reviewed the application at its November 25, 2025, Regular Meeting. There
was discussion regarding the proposed location of the Water-Oriented Structure and the limited visibility
from the lake. Staff informed the Board that there are no concerns with the location and reiterated that the
variance request relates solely to the structure’s size.
Page 89 of 318
During the public hearing, the applicant presented a revised plan reducing the requested size from the original
780 sf to 590 sf. The applicant also indicated that neighboring property owners had submitted letters of
support, which were provided to the Commission for consideration.
The BOA, after reviewing the new plans, did not feel that the proposal met the ordinance standards for
approval of a variance. They felt that a small encroachment, consistent with what was currently under
construction, met the ordinance standards and approved a variance for 20 sf above the ordinance limit.
The city code provides an appeal process, and the applicant has exercised that option to request City Council
review of their updated request for a 590 sf structure (190 sf variance).
Staff’s concern has been, and continues to be, that there are no plight/circumstances unique to the property
that created a hardship to allow for an increase in personal storage. The desire for additional storage is not a
hardship but a plight the property owner created.
Applicable Regulations
Variances may be granted when the petitioner establishes that the variance satisfies all five of the criteria
described below. The variance is:
1. Is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the ordinance, and
Applicants’ response: This request is in harmony with the intent of the ordinance because it allows us to safely and
responsibly improve existing lakeshore amenities without creating environmental impacts. The variance supports the
continued use of a modest storage structure for water-oriented items (kayaks, oars, lifejackets, etc.) and the
replacement of a deteriorating deck with a safe structure. Neither project contributes to erosion, runoff, or shoreline
degradation.
The intent of the lakeshore setback and accessory structure standards is to provide some unique storage (400
sf. max) opportunities because of the relationship to a water feature and to preserve the natural character of
the shoreline, protect water quality, and maintain consistency among lakeshore properties. Allowing a
structure larger than what is permitted within the shore impact zone would conflict with these goals. The
variance is therefore not in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance.
2. Is consistent with the City of Elk River's comprehensive plan.
Applicants’ response: The request is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan by preserving the residential and
recreational character of the lakeshore. The addition to the small storage shed ensures adequate space for water-
oriented equipment, while the rebuilt deck provides safe access and enjoyment of the property. Both improvements
update pre-existing structures and are compatible with the development pattern of surrounding lakeshore homes.

the existing water-oriented structure beyond ordinance limits is not consistent with these objectives.

difficulties in meeting zoning requirements while still allowing safe and reasonable use of the property. The request is
not the result of actions or inactions by the property owners.
There are no circumstances unique to the property that have created a hardship. The lot is a standard
lakeshore parcel with adequate buildable area for compliant accessory structures outside the shore impact
zone. The request results from the applicant’s desire for additional space, which is a self-created condition,
not a hardship.

lakeshore properties commonly have decks and small water-oriented storage structures. The proposed improvements

2. The property has a land use guidance for residential, and the proposed single-family residential use is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The proposed use is not reasonable as the property already contains a permitted 100 SF. water-
oriented structure that serves the intended purpose of storing lake-related equipment.
4. There are no circumstances unique to the property that create hardship. The request results from
the applicant’s desire for additional space, which is a self-created condition, not a property hardship.
5. Granting the variance would permit a structure nearly twice the size allowed within proximity to the
lake that could alter the essential character.
Background/Discussion
The Board of Adjustments initially reviewed this request on October 28, 2025, and after hearing comments
and concerns from the Board, the applicant requested to postpone action until the November 25, 2025,
meeting to provide additional time to explore alternative solutions/designs. Prior to providing any alternative,
the applicant requested an explanation be provided specifying the ordinance language that requires a deck to
be included in water-oriented structure square footage, as well as additional information. That
correspondence is included as an attachment. They have reduced the size of the deviation, and are now
requesting a 10-foot x 17-foot building addition. An outline of the proposed square footage is as follows:
• 100 SF. Existing Building (10’ x1 0’)
• 320 SF. “Proposed” Deck (currently under construction)
• 420 SF. Existing Water-Oriented Structure (400 allowed)
• 170 SF. Proposed Building (10’ x 17’)
• 590 SF. Total Existing and Proposed
Page 93 of 318
While the existing conditions exceed the maximum allowed square footage by 20 SF, a viable alternative,
which the Board suggested at the October meeting, is utilizing space under the deck for storage, which may
satisfy the applicants' desire for additional storage.
Staff’s concern has been, and continues to be, that there is no plight/circumstances unique to the property
that created a hardship to allow for an increase in personal storage. The desire for additional storage is not a
hardship but a plight the property owner created.
Applicable Regulations
Variances may be granted when the petitioner establishes that the variance satisfies all five of the criteria
described below. The variance is:
1. Is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the ordinance, and
Applicants’ response: This request is in harmony with the intent of the ordinance because it allows us to safely and
responsibly improve existing lakeshore amenities without creating environmental impacts. The variance supports the
continued use of a modest storage structure for water-oriented items (kayaks, oars, lifejackets, etc.) and the
replacement of a deteriorating deck with a safe structure. Neither project contributes to erosion, runoff, or shoreline
degradation.
The intent of the lakeshore setback and accessory structure standards is to provide some unique storage (400
sq.ft. max) opportunities because of the relationship to a water feature and to preserve the natural character
of the shoreline, protect water quality, and maintain consistency among lakeshore properties. Allowing a
structure larger than what is permitted within the shore impact zone would conflict with these goals. The
variance is therefore not in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance.
2. Is consistent with the City of Elk River comprehensive plan.
Applicants’ response: The request is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan by preserving the residential and
recreational character of the lakeshore. The addition to the small storage shed ensures adequate space for water-
oriented equipment, while the rebuilt deck provides safe access and enjoyment of the property. Both improvements
update pre-existing structures and are compatible with the development pattern of surrounding lakeshore homes.
While the property has a land use guidance for residential, and the proposed single-family residential use is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the plan also emphasizes protecting natural resources, especially
along lakes and wetlands, by enforcing setbacks and size limitations for structures near the water. Expanding
the existing water-oriented structure beyond ordinance limits is not consistent with these objectives.
Variances may be granted when the petitioner establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with
the zoning ordinance. Practical difficulties means that:
3. The petitioner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning
ordinance;
Applicants’ response: The proposed improvements are reasonable uses of a lakeshore property. Expanding the existing
shed provides adequate space to safely store water-oriented equipment, preventing shoreline clutter. Replacing the
deteriorating deck ensures safe enjoyment of the property while aligning with typical residential lakeshore uses.
The property already contains a permitted 100 sq.ft. water-oriented structure that serves the intended
purpose of storing lake-related equipment. The applicant also has sufficient space elsewhere on the property
to construct additional storage structures that meet ordinance requirements. The desire for additional
Page 94 of 318
convenience or larger storage capacity does not constitute a practical difficulty. Therefore, the request does
not represent a reasonable use that is otherwise prohibited by the ordinance.
4. The plight of the petitioner is due to circumstances unique to the property, not a consequence of the
petition's own action or inaction; and
Applicants’ response: The property’s unique site conditions—including the shoreline location, wetlands, and
easements—limit alternative placement of both the shed addition and the deck. These constraints create practical
difficulties in meeting zoning requirements while still allowing safe and reasonable use of the property. The request is
not the result of actions or inactions by the property owners.
There are no circumstances unique to the property that has created a hardship. The lot is a standard
lakeshore parcel with adequate buildable area for compliant accessory structures outside the shore impact
zone. The request results from the applicant’s desire for additional space, which is a self-created condition,
not a hardship.
5. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Applicants’ response: The requested variance will not change the essential character of the neighborhood. Nearby
lakeshore properties commonly have decks and small water-oriented storage structures. The proposed improvements
are modest in scale, consistent with surrounding properties, and will preserve the residential and recreational nature of
the lakeshore.
Granting the variance would permit a structure nearly twice the size allowed within proximity to the lake,
setting a precedent inconsistent with surrounding lakeshore development patterns. Approval would alter the
essential character of the locality by introducing a more intensive level of lakeshore development than
intended by ordinance.
Findings
Staff find that the requested variance does not meet the required criteria for approval. There is no
demonstrated hardship or unique property condition that justifies exceeding the allowed size for a water-
oriented structure. The property already benefits from a permitted structure that serves the intended
purpose and expanding it would conflict with the intent of the ordinance to protect lakeshore character and
water quality.

City of Elk River Definition - Water-oriented accessory structure or facility means a small,
aboveground building or other improvement, except stairways, fences, docks, and retaining
walls, which, because of the relationship of its use to a surface water feature, reasonably
needs to be located closer to public waters than the normal structure setback. Examples of
such structures and facilities include boathouses, gazebos, screen houses, fish houses,
pump houses, and detached decks.
Staff’s interpretation is the deck is detached from the house.
I. Purpose of This Submission
This memo is being submitted prior to the continued hearing scheduled for November 25,
2025 in order to:
1. Correct the square-footage calculation currently reflected in staff interpretation of the
variance request;
2. Provide the legal basis for excluding the deck from the water-oriented structure square-
foot limit under applicable ordinance and Minnesota law;
3. Request that staff update the staff report, or provide written clarification, prior to the
continued hearing so that the Board is evaluating the correct variance scope; and
4. Preserve the public record, given the statutory limitations on variance denial and the
appeal rights afforded under Minn. Stat. § 394.27.
This memo is not intended to replace oral testimony, but to ensure accuracy and
transparency in advance of the continued public hearing.
II. Correction to Variance Square-Footage Calculation
The current staff position frames the request as 780 sq. ft. (100 existing + 360 proposed
structure + 320 deck). (see city definition) That calculation is not supported by ordinance
language and materially misstates the variance request.
Actual enclosed structure square footage:
• Existing enclosed storage structure – 100 sq. ft.
• Proposed enclosed storage expansion – 360 sq. ft.
• Total enclosed structure – 460 sq. ft. (regulated)
Deck square footage:
• Elevated replacement deck – 320 sq. ft. (not enclosed, not used for storage)
• Ground impact = 2.73 sq. ft. (13 posts)
Actual variance requested:
Allowed = 400 sq. ft.
Proposed = 460 sq. ft.
Variance requested = +60 sq. ft.
Page 98 of 318
III. Applicable Law – Minn. Stat. § 394.27, Subd. 7 (Practical Difficulties Standard) This is citing
the County statute for variances.
Minnesota law requires that variance decisions be based on the three-part “practical
difficulties” test. The statute does not authorize denial based on an internal staff
interpretation (see city definition) that expands the scope of the request beyond what is
legally regulated.
The statutory test Minn. Stat. 462.357, subd. 6 requires:
1. A reasonable use of property not permitted by ordinance; § 462.357 states: the property
owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning
ordinance.
2. Circumstances unique to the parcel; § 462.357 states: the plight of the landowner is due to
circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner.
There are no circumstances unique to the property that created a hardship to allow for an
increase of personal storage, regardless if it is 60 or 380 square feet over. The desire for
additional storage is not a hardship but a plight the property owner created. The property is
a standard lakeshore parcel with adequate buildable area for a code compliant water-
oriented structure.
3. No alteration of essential character of locality. § 462.357 states: the variance, if granted,
will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Additional information in § 462.357, Subd. 6
1. Is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the ordinance, and
2. Is consistent with the city of Elk River comprehensive plan.
The intent is to provide storage (400 sq.ft.) near the water, and as also noted in the Planning
Commission memo, to preserve the natural character of the shoreline, protect water quality,
and maintain consistency among lakeshore properties.
This analysis applies only to the portion of the project actually regulated — the enclosed
storage area. It does not permit a city to artificially inflate the size of a variance request by
including elements that are not regulated by ordinance. Staff are classifying the deck as a
water-oriented structure, as defined. Based on information staff have available, the deck
under construction is within a large wetland complex that would not allow a traditional deck
at all.
IV. DNR Shoreland Variance Guidance – Deck Classification
The Minnesota DNR Shoreland Management Variance Guidance (2021) distinguishes
between enclosed or roofed accessory structures and open platforms, walkways, and decks.
Only the former are counted toward structure square footage.
The deck portion of this project is an unenclosed elevated platform and therefore does not
fall within the regulated definition. It is detached deck/water-oriented structure (see city
Page 99 of 318
definition) and within a large wetland complex that would not allow a “traditional deck”. A
municipality can be more restrictive.
V. Comparison to Minnesota Municipal Practice
Multiple Minnesota cities with similar ordinance language interpret decks separately from
water-oriented accessory structures:
• City of Orono – Water-oriented accessory structure defined as “a small storage structure
used for recreational equipment.” Decks regulated separately.
• City of Scandia – Decks permitted in shoreland district but excluded from 400 sq. ft.
structure limit unless enclosed.
• City of Elk River - Water-oriented accessory structure or facility means a small,
aboveground building or other improvement, except stairways, fences, docks, and
retaining walls, which, because of the relationship of its use to a surface water feature,
reasonably needs to be located closer to public waters than the normal structure setback.
Examples of such structures and facilities include boathouses, gazebos, screen houses,
fish houses, pump houses, and detached decks.
• Staff’s interpretation is the deck is detached from the house.
VI. Deck Permitting Is Not Part of Variance Review
If the City determines that the deck requires a separate floodplain, shoreline, or building
permit, that process will be completed. Decks require a Building Permit, the current water-
oriented accessory structure is being built without a permit. However, Minnesota variance
law does not allow denial based on a permitting process that occurs outside the variance
standard.
Accordingly:
• The Board may approve or deny the variance now;
• Staff may still require deck permitting later; The city requires a permit for decks and water-
oriented structures
• The two are legally separate actions. Based on the city definition, the enclosed structure
and the deck are one unit and part of one action.
VII. Request for Staff Action Before November 25 Hearing
To prevent confusion at the hearing and ensure the Board is acting on a legally valid record,
we respectfully request:
1. That the staff report be updated to reflect the correct variance request of 460 sq. ft., not
780 sq. ft.; OR
2. That written explanation be provided specifying the ordinance language that requires a
deck to be included in water-oriented structure square footage. See water-oriented
accessory structure or facility definition.
If staff maintains the position that the deck must be included, we respectfully request that
Page 100 of 318
the justification be provided in writing so it can be reviewed by the Board, City Council (if
appealed), or a reviewing court. See water-oriented accessory structure or facility definition.
VIII. Record Preservation
Because variance denials must be supported by legally valid findings, and because
Minnesota courts routinely reverse denials based on misapplied standards, this memo is
being entered into the record to preserve our right to appeal if necessary.
IX. Conclusion
We respectfully request that staff update the variance calculation before the November 25
hearing so that the Board votes on the actual variance being requested (+60 sq. ft. enclosed
storage). We welcome further clarification or discussion prior to the hearing.
Sincerely,
Benjamin & Andrea Poythress

Reviewed by
Zack Carlton
Action Requested
Deny, by motion, the variance proposal to exceed the permitted size of a water-oriented storage structure,
as the following standards have not been met:
1. Allowing a structure nearly twice the size of what is permitted within the shore impact zone does not
meet the general purpose and intent of the ordinance.
2. The property has a land use guidance for residential, and the proposed single-family residential use is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The proposed use is not reasonable as the property already contains a permitted 100 SF. water-

4. There are no circumstances unique to the property that create hardship. The request results from
the applicant’s desire for additional space, which is a self-created condition, not a property hardship.
5. Granting the variance would permit a structure nearly twice the size allowed within proximity to the
lake that could alter the essential character.
Background/Discussion
The applicant is requesting a variance to exceed the allowed square footage (400 SF) for a water-oriented
structure by adding a 12’ x 30’ addition to the existing 10’ x 10’ storage shed as well as constructing a new
deck attached to the storage structure. The existing structure and the proposed additions are near the
Ordinary High-Water Level (OHWL). The proposal proposes a total of 780 SF of water-oriented structures,
exceeding the 400 SF permitted by ordinance.
• 100 SF. Existing Building (10’ x1 0’)
• 360 SF. Proposed Building (12’ x 30’)
• 320 SF. “Proposed” Deck (currently under construction)
• 780 SF. Total (400 allowed)
The applicant would like to replace an existing deteriorated deck with a larger, code-compliant structure of
320 SF, approximately 22 feet from the OHWL. The applicant has already begun construction of the
Page 102 of 318
replacement deck but has since stopped.

ISLAND VIEW FIFTH ADDITION
LOT 2, BLK 3
The narrative is your opportunity to describe, promote, and sell your proposal to the
Board of Adjustment and City Council (if needed) and should explain your request in
detail and how the five criteria are met in order to be granted a variance.
We are requesting a variance to add onto an existing 10’x10’ (100sf) storage shed used
for water-oriented equipment such as kayaks, oars, and lifejackets, and to rebuild a
deteriorating deck. We are proposing an additional 12'x30' addition to the existing
storage shed which puts the total square feet at 460sf and is 60sf over the 400sf that is
allowed. This addition is beyond the OHWL at 22' and does not encroach the 45' Wetland
Setback. This addition also adheres to the City of Elk River's Zoning Setbacks for
Accessory Structures and keeps the total square feet of attached/detached sf at 1,360
which below the 2,500sf that is allowed for our 2.53 acre property. Adding onto the
existing structure also keeps us at only one accessory structure. The existing deck was
not constructed to current codes and had become a safety concern due to its age and
condition. The proposed replacement deck is larger than the previous one but is
designed to be safe, code-compliant, and consistent with the character of surrounding
lakeshore properties. The deck will also be beyond the OHWL setback at 22’ and will be
320sf when completed.
A variance may be granted by the board only if it finds that:
The variance is in harmony with the

This request is in harmony with the intent

Re: Variance Request — Expansion of Water -Oriented Structure and Deck
Replacement
Dear Chair and Members of the Board,
Thank you for the opportunity to present our variance request. We respect the City's
review process and appreciate staff's careful consideration of our application. As long-
time residents of Elk River, we are committed to maintaining our property in a way that
protects Lake Orono's environment and character. We would like to provide clarification
and additional information that demonstrates why our request is consistent with the
purpose and intent of Elk River's ordinances, addresses practical difficulties unique to
our property, and preserves the character of Lake Orono.
Project Description
We are requesting a variance to:
1. Expand our existing 10'x10' (100 sq. ft.) water -oriented storage structure by an
additional 12'x30' (360 sq. ft.) to safely store kayaks, canoes, oars, lifejackets,
lily -pad, and related equipment.
2. Rebuild and enlarge our deteriorating deck (320 sq. ft.) that was unsafe and not
constructed to current code. The replacement deck will cover the footprint of an
existing patio and be elevated approximately 8 feet, with only 13 posts (2.73 sq.
ft. ground impact).
Responses to Staff Concerns
Page 112 of 318
1. Purpose and Intent of Water -Oriented Structures
Staff calculated our proposal as 780 SF, "nearly double" the 400 SF allowance.
We respectfully clarify: the shed addition totals 460 SF, only +60 SF over
allowed. The deck is a replacement, not a water -oriented structure, and should
not be included in the calculation.
Our impervious coverage remains well below thresholds, and Lake Orono is
dam -controlled and regulated, minimizing runoff risk.
A berm lies between the structure and shoreline, providing natural screening.
In addition, our bay is shallow, secluded, and unused for recreation, meaning the
structure has virtually no public visibility.
Enclosing equipment reduces shoreline clutter, further supporting the ordinance's
intent to minimize impact.
2. Comprehensive Plan
The Plan emphasizes protecting resources and preserving residential use. Our
project consolidates storage, improving shoreline appearance and limiting clutter.
The structure is 125 feet from the shoreline, farther than many other existing or
permitted structures.
The project supports recreational residential use and aligns with the character
envisioned in the Plan.
3. Reasonable Use
A 100 SF shed is not reasonable for a family of five with multiple kayaks and
lake -use equipment.
Staff suggested other compliant areas exist, but wetlands and a city -held
stormwater easement/retention pond eliminate those options.
DNR representative James Bedell and City staff member Joseph Hale
confirmed during their site visit that this is the only feasible location.
4. Hardship and Unique Circumstances
Staff identified the hardship as "self-created." We respectfully disagree.
Our hardship stems from protected wetlands and a city -held stormwater
easement, which restricts usable land. We pay taxes on this land but cannot use
it.
This constraint is unique to our lot and not a result of our actions.
Page 113 of 318
These limitations make this variance the only option for locating reasonable
storage.
5. Character of the Locality
Staff expressed concern over precedent. In reality, many homes already have
structures at or near the shoreline.
A new home was permitted within the past two years only 20-35 feet from the
shoreline. This home is significantly larger than neighbors, demonstrating
approval of much greater visual impacts.
By contrast, our structure is 125 feet back, screened by a berm, in a secluded
bay.
Our immediate neighbors, Christian and Briana Schwamberger, who are most
impacted, provided a letter of support confirming no visual or privacy concerns.
Additional Considerations
Lake Orono already includes a wide variety of shoreline structures; our request is
modest in scale compared to precedent.
We consulted with the City Planner for the City of Rogers, who indicated no
concerns from a planning perspective. While not affiliated with Elk River, his
professional opinion reinforces that our proposal is reasonable.
We also spoke with neighbors and members of the Orono Lake Improvement
District; none expressed concerns.
Conclusion
We are not asking for anything excessive or out of character for Lake Orono. Our
request is modest compared to many structures already approved and located closer to
the shoreline. What we seek is simply the ability to reasonably and safely enjoy our
property, within the spirit of the City's ordinances, despite the unique constraints we face
from wetlands and a city stormwater easement. Approval of this variance is the only
way for us to equitably use our property while maintaining safe, code -compliant
improvements. We respectfully ask the Board to recognize this hardship and grant our
request so that we may continue to be responsible stewards of our property and the
Lake Orono community.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:
We are writing as the adjoining property owners at 13696 Island View Dr NW, Lot 1,
Block 3, Island View Fifth Addition, Sherburne County, Minnesota, regarding the
variance request submitted by our neighbors, Benjamin and Andrea Poythress. Their
request involves the proposed extension of an existing backyard structure as well as an
addition or modification to their boat deck.
After reviewing the nature of the proposed improvements and considering their
proximity to our shared property line, we would like to state that we have no objections
or concerns with the proposed variances. From our perspective as adjacent
homeowners,, the planned extensions:
Do not encroach on or negatively impact our property line or privacy.
Will not block or obstruct any view from our property or from other neighboring
homes.
Will not create any access or aesthetic issues from our side of the property.
Based on these considerations, we fully support the approval of the Poythress's
variance request and have no concerns from a neighboring property standpoint.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Subject: Re: Board of Adjustments Staff Report and Agenda - City of Elk River
Hi Chris,
Page 118 of 318
Thank you for reaching out before tonight’s meeting.
Based on the Board’s feedback and the discussion at the October 28 hearing, we have
prepared additional information and have revised our proposal in a way that we hope will
directly address the concerns raised.
1. Revised Shed Plan
We have significantly reduced the size of the proposed shed addition from 360 sq ft down
to 170 sq ft, attached to the existing 100 sq ft shed (total enclosed storage now 270 sq ft).
This reduction was made specifically in response to the Board’s request that we bring the
total project size materially closer to the 400 sq ft standard.
2. Deck (Replacement)
We are keeping the deck as previously proposed.
It replaces an unsafe, deteriorating structure and remains within the existing patio footprint,
with minimal ground impact (posts only).
This maintains the intent of improving safety without expanding ground disturbance.
3. Updated Total Square Footage
Using the City’s interpretation that the deck must be included in the total water-oriented
structure calculation, the project now totals 590 sq ft, a significant reduction from the
earlier calculation—bringing it much closer to the ordinance intent while still allowing
functional use.
4. Neighbor Support
We have collected several letters of support from nearby and adjacent property owners,
including the neighbors most affected by visibility.
We are happy to email these for inclusion in the packet or bring printed copies tonight—
whichever you prefer.
5. Updated Visuals (if needed)
We can also provide updated drawings reflecting the reduced shed size prior to the meeting
or present printed copies tonight.
Please let us know if you would like these documents emailed before the meeting or
provided in person.
We appreciate the opportunity to present the revised plan and look forward to tonight’s
discussion.
Thank you,
Andrea & Ben Poythress

To the Board of Adjustments,
I am writing to offer my full support for the proposed shed addition and deck improvement
project submitted by Ben and Andrea Poythress.
I am a resident of the lake and am familiar with the location of their project area. Their
structure sits more than 100 feet from the shoreline, behind a natural berm, and within
heavy woods. It is not visible from the main recreational area of the lake, and the bay where
they live receives almost no traffic due to shallow water, lily pads, and aquatic vegetation.
The Poythress family has made significant efforts to work with the city and the board’s
feedback. They redesigned their project, reducing the shed addition to 270 sq ft—well
below the allowed 400 sq ft threshold. The remainder of the square footage comes from
replacing and modestly expanding an existing deck, which will not be used as a storage
structure and has no environmental impact.
Their request is reasonable, measured, and respectful of both ordinance intent and the
natural character of the shoreline. I believe approving this variance would not set any
negative precedent and poses no harm to neighboring properties or the lake environment.
For these reasons, I strongly support their variance request.
Sincerely,
Brian Gifford

To Whom It May Concern:
Sarah and I have reviewed the proposed addition of an existing structure on Ben and
Andreas property, as well as modifications to their boat deck.
Our property is located directly behind the proposed project. After discussing the plans
that Ben and Andrea are looking to do within their property, we would like to see the
project approved and strongly believe the projects will benefit the property and us as
neighbors and fellow lake residents.
The project improves the views for those on the lake by maintaining their property and
making valuable improvements. Neither project impacts the views of neighbors as the
properties are all wooded and large acreage lots.
Thank you,
Jesse & Sarah Hartung

I am writing as a resident on Upper Lake Orono to express my support for the variance
request submitted by Ben and Andrea Poythress regarding their proposed shed
addition/deck replacement.
We are very familiar with their property and the location of the existing structure. The area
where the project is planned sits set back in the woods, a good distance from the shoreline.
From the lake, the current structure is already not really visible, and the proposed
improvements will not meaningfully change the view for any lake users or neighbors—
including our household.
I also support their effort because the environmental impact is minimal to none, especially
given the distance from the shoreline and the fact that this portion of the lake (the
northwest bay) is extremely shallow, non-recreational, and not frequently traveled.
They have already been responsive to the Board’s previous requests, by reducing the shed
addition.
From a neighbor’s perspective, this request is reasonable, thoughtful, and aligned with the
character of the area. I do not believe it sets an inappropriate precedent, nor does it
undermine the intent of the code. Instead, it allows a homeowner to maintain and improve
their property in a way that is safe, aesthetically consistent, and respectful to the lake
environment.
I hope the Board will approve their variance request, and I appreciate your consideration.
Sincerely,
Kendra Kruger
Resident – Upper Lake Orono

To the City of Elk River Board of Adjustment,
I’m writing in support of Benjamin and Andrea Poythress and their request
regarding the improvements to their water-oriented structure. I live across the lake,
and I’d like to offer a simple perspective from someone who actually sees (or in
this case, won’t see) the project in question.
Their property sits in a section of the lake that isn’t exactly a high-traffic, postcard
backdrop. It’s tucked into a quiet, shallow bay that most people avoid unless they
enjoy lily pads and aquatic vegetation rearranging their boat props. In other words,
anything they build back there is going to be visible to about three people—and
I’m one of them. And even I won’t be able to see it.
I have no concerns whatsoever about the shed addition or the deck expansion. It
won’t be an eyesore, it won’t affect lake aesthetics, and it won’t impact shoreline
use or enjoyment for anyone else. They’re improving their property, replacing
older structures, and adding value—not only to their home, but indirectly to the
surrounding properties as well. They’re good people, responsible neighbors, and
diligent stewards of their land. They pay their taxes, follow the rules, and aren’t
exactly running a shipyard or building a hotel down there.
I understand and appreciate the Board’s responsibility to protect the lake and
uphold the ordinance. That work matters, and the consistency you bring to these
decisions preserves the standards we all enjoy. At the same time, it seems
reasonable to evaluate this project within the spirit and intent of the code, not only
the strictest possible interpretation of square footage definitions—especially when
the deck in question is simply covering an existing cement pad and has no
environmental impact.
The Poythress request is modest, practical, and—frankly—less intrusive than many
lakeside structures that already exist all around the shoreline. I trust their judgment
completely, and I fully support the project as they’ve proposed it.
Thank you for your time, for the work you do, and for your thoughtful
consideration.
Sincerely,
Benjamin Larson

To Whom It May Concern:
We are writing as the adjoining property owners at 13696 Island View Dr NW, Lot 1,
Block 3, Island View Fifth Addition, Sherburne County, Minnesota, regarding the
variance request submitted by our neighbors, Benjamin and Andrea Poythress. Their
request involves the proposed extension of an existing backyard structure as well as an
addition or modification to their boat deck.
After reviewing the nature of the proposed improvements and considering their
proximity to our shared property line, we would like to state that we have no objections
or concerns with the proposed variances. From our perspective as adjacent
homeowners, the planned extensions:
• Do not encroach on or negatively impact our property line or privacy.
• Will not block or obstruct any view from our property or from other neighboring
homes.
• Will not create any access or aesthetic issues from our side of the property.
Based on these considerations, we fully support the approval of the Poythress’s
variance request and have no concerns from a neighboring property standpoint.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Christian & Briana Schwamberger

To Whom It May Concern:
It has been brought to our attention that Benjamin and Andrea Poythress have
proposed an addition of an existing structure on their property, as well as modifications
to a boat deck.
Our property is located at 13558 Island View Dr. NW in Elk River within Sherburne
County, 2 lots away from the proposed project. After discussing the plans and
process(es) that Ben and Andrea are looking to do within their property, we want to
formally give our approval to this initiative.
We feel the plans will not obstruct any view(s) from our property or create any future
issues within the lake infrastructure or access.
We welcome any further conversation in regards to this matter to further confirm our
acceptance
Thank you,
Kyle & Heather Simenson

To Whom It May Concern,
We are writing in support of our neighbors, Ben and Andrea Poythress, and their revised
variance request for the shed addition and replacement deck at 13640 Island View Drive
NW.
We have reviewed their plans and have no concerns at all. In fact, we believe the
improvements they are proposing will be an asset to their property and to the
neighborhood. We frequently spend time in their backyard and around the shared lake
area, and we know the location well. Their project is tucked back in a secluded, screened
area and will not impact our view, our privacy, or our use of our own property.
We trust Ben and Andrea completely to make improvements that are thoughtful,
responsible, and visually appropriate for this part of Lake Orono. They take excellent care of
their home and yard, and we have full confidence that this project will be done with the
same level of care.
We fully support their revised proposal and hope the Board will approve their request.
Sincerely,
Joe & Tanya Walters

7.2 Variance: Water Oriented Structure Size, Benjamin Poythress - 13640 Island View Dr NW
The staff report was presented.
Councilmember Grupa opened the public hearing on behalf of Mayor Dietz.
Andrea and Benjamin Poythress, 13640 Island View Dr NW, applicant, asked for approval of a
modest storage shed so their family can safely store lake equipment. Mrs. Poythress explained that a lot
of their land is wetland that they pay taxes on, and explained that they take care of their property, and
added that the shed would not be about luxury but about function. She continued to explain that a
10x10 shed would not be able to store a 10-foot kayak and safety equipment. She also stated that they
did receive support from the neighbors and submitted eight letters of support.
Councilmember Grupa closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Grupa asked what the yardage was from your back door to the storage area. Mr.
Poythress stated that it is about 100 yards, but it is not a straight path; it is a winding path.
Councilmember Wagner stated that they did receive eight letters of support from their neighbors,
saying that there are no hardships due to the request. Councilmember Wagner agreed with them that
they didn't know the deck and the building would be considered as one. She stated that she does not
think it is an unreasonable request to build a deck to enjoy the lake and have an enclosed building to
store things on the lake. She would rather see things stored in a building than under a deck or out in
the yard. She stated that, given the situation, she thinks it is a reasonable request.
Councilmember Calva asked if the city is concerned that if we allow this one, then the city will have
eight other requests to build larger structures in their backyards. Mr. Leeseberg asked how to say no to
someone who is asking for the same kind of request.
Page 133 of 318
City Council Minutes
December 15, 2025
---------
Page 5 of 13
Councilmember Calva asked if it was visible from the lake. Mrs. Poythress stated that it was not, and it
is in a private bay. Councilmember Calva asked if the neighbors could see it from their backyard. Mr.
and Mrs. Poythress explained that, considering the wooded lot, it would be hard to see.
Councilmember Calva explained that he would have no problem making an exception in this case as
long as there were not going to be eight other exceptions.
Councilmember Wagner stated that they do not know if there are going to be other requests, and
every project should have its own merit.
Councilmember Beyer thanked them for what they have done and stated that they have done the work
by talking to their neighbors, to the city, and to the DNR. He explained a lot of times, exceptions are
hard to make when you have negative neighbors and such, but in this case, there are none, and he has
respect for them doing the work. He also thanked them for keeping up the work on the easements.
Councilmember Beyer explained that he knows it is a hidden area and no one is ever going to see it. He
went on to explain that, given the situation, he could support the exception.
Moved by Councilmember Wagner and seconded by Councilmember Beyer, directing
staff to draft a resolution making Findings of Fact, approving the variance to exceed the
permitted size of a water-oriented storage structure, for approval at the January 5, 2026,
Council meeting. Motion carried 5-0.
7.3 Variance: Parking and Wetland Setback to Support Development of an Apartment Building, Pat
Briggs - 17379 Twin Lakes Rd NW
The staff report was presented.
Councilmember Grupa opened the public hearing on behalf of Mayor Dietz.
Patrick Briggs, 17379 Twin Lakes Road, subject property, handed to the Council a letter that was
presented to the neighbors. Mr. Briggs explained that they have been kind and cordial to the neighbors
throughout the years, but now it is time to develop the property and move forward. Mr. Briggs
compared this property to the Hillside Heights property to the north regarding parking requests and
stated his request is reasonable. He went on to explain different aspects of why the Council should
approve the variance.
Councilmember Calva stated his biggest concern is that the person has private access.
Matthew and Morgan Lerfald, 17395 Twin Lakes Rd NW, explained that the letter they
received from Mr. Briggs does not feel genuine, which they received on Friday before Monday's Council
meeting. They stated that they tried to reach out to Mr. Briggs multiple times, but have not been able
to get a hold of him or anyone. Every time they call, they go to an answering machine, and nobody ever
gets back to them, other than when he denied them a utility easement to get natural gas to their home.
They tried to get a utility easement along the driveway, and he denied them the easement. Mr. Lerfald
stated that this feels like a scare tactic, stating that if they didn't talk at the meeting, he would buy their
property. They explained other concerns they had regarding the apartment complex going in this area.
Brad Brummer, 14524 145th Court NW, stated that he is in the process of selling his home and
Page 134 of 318
City Council Minutes
December 15, 2025
---------
Page 6 of 13
explained that he would look for a new apartment to rent; therefore, he supports the apartment
building at this location.
Councilmember Grupa closed the public hearing.
Mayor Dietz explained that the Board of Adjustments pointed out that Mr. Briggs would not need the
variances if he reduced the size of his project and stated he would not be voting for either one.
Councilmember Wagner explained the reason for the denial from the Board of Adjustments is that it is
a new project, and the applicant knows what the land has and doesn't have, and could be solved by
changing the size. She stated every project has to stand on its own merit. This project is not the same
as other projects, and she has concerns about the easement portion of the driveway. She has a hard
time coming up with a reason to go against the Board of Adjustments, stating that it's a new project,
and it could be taken care of with a couple of adjustments. For these reasons, she will not be able to
support the request.
Councilmember Beyer stated that he does not see a traffic study and has no clue how that will affect
anything. Mr. Carlton explained that a traffic study has been submitted to the Public Works
Department. This is a variance component. The land use portion will be a different conversation.
Councilmember Beyer explained that we don't know how things are going to change with the
Northstar gone. He explained that Elk River has grown and grown and questioned how big we want Elk
River to get. He explained that at this point, he would be sticking with what the Board of Adjustments
suggested and would be voting against it as well.
Councilmember Grupa has concerns regarding the project and thinks that Mr. Briggs could make some
adjustments as well. He stated he would not be voting for the variance either.
Moved by Mayor Dietz and seconded by Councilmember Calva to direct staff to draft a
resolution making Findings of Fact, denying two variances, one requesting a reduction in
the number of parking stalls required for an apartment building, and second, a six-foot
encroachment into the wetland buffer setback, as the following standard required for
approval of a variance has not been met:
4. The plight of the petitioner is due to circumstances unique to the property and is a
consequence of the petitioner's own action.
The City Council would consider the resolution on January 20, 2026. Motion carried 5-0.
7.4 Resolution 25-78 and Ordinance 25-17: Amend City Plans to Support Commercial Uses,
Sherburne County - 11401 205th Ave NW
The staff report was presented.
Councilmember Grupa opened the public hearing on behalf of Mayor Dietz. There being no one to
speak to this matter, Councilmember Grupa closed the public hearing.
Moved by Councilmember Wagner and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt
Resolution 25-78 amending the land use guidance for 11401 205th Ave NW from Rural
Residential to Highway Business, subject to the condition that Sherburne County prepare

and record a Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions limiting the use of the property to
a billboard. Motion carried 5-0.
Moved by Councilmember Wagner and seconded by Councilmember Calva to adopt
Ordinance 25-17 amending the zoning map for 11401 205th Ave NW from R-1a (Single-
Family Residential) to C-3 (Highway Business), subject to the approval of the associated
land use amendment, Case No. LU 25-03. Motion carried 5-0.
8. GENERAL BUSINESS
8.1 Hearing: Tobacco Compliance Failures for Ralphies Minnoco
City Attorney Jared Shepherd presented the staff report.
Police Juvenile Detective Sergeant Don Birdsall explained the compliance check procedure.
Mark Lees, Sherburne County Health and Human Services, reiterated the compliance check
process and explained that they are not trying to trick anyone. The underage person tells the truth if
asked and provides their normal ID when requested.
Brian Brehmer, owner of Ralphie's Minnoco, stated that he agrees with what Sergeant Birdsall
and Mr. Lees stated, that they are not trying to trick them. Mr. Brehmer explained that the only reason
he decided to have a hearing was not to get out of the violation, but that he wanted to state on public
record that they do their best to train employees, but sometimes they fail. He explained he has another
gas station in Clear Lake that they pass every time. He continued to explain that they do the training
and go through the procedures. Mr. Brehmer continued to say that the person who was working that
day took the ID quickly, looked at it, and sold it anyway. He said they have a swipe machine for IDs, and
the employee did not even swipe it like they were trained to do.
Mayor Dietz just confirmed that the ordinance does state a $1,000 fine and a 7-day suspension. Mr.
Shepherd confirmed that, yes, that is the ordinance.
Councilmember Wagner understands the business and understands that it can be hard when needing to
ID people, but they need to hold to the ordinance.
Moved by Councilmember Calva and seconded by Mayor Dietz to deny the appeal. Motion
carried 5-0.
8.2 Cannabis Business Plan
The staff report was presented.
Mayor Dietz asked why they would want to terminate the architect agreement when they are planning
on building a new liquor store. Mr. Stremcha explained that they would be modifying the existing terms
and conditions to remove the cannabis store from the design. Currently, it is an agreement for both
Cannabound and Northbound, so they would have to end one agreement and have a new agreement
for just Northbound.
Mayor Dietz questioned the extra fees for ending the original agreement. Mr. Stremcha said they have
Page 136 of 318
City Council Minutes
December 15, 2025
---------
Page 8 of 13
already gotten far along with the architect's design, and they would have to amend the design. For
example, if they are turning an interior wall into an exterior wall, there would be hourly charges to
make those changes.
Mayor Dietz asked about the cannabis manager and confirmed that April 10 would be her last day. Mr.
Stremcha stated yes, unless she went on unemployment, then the city would pay the unemployment.
Mayor Dietz wanted confirmation of what he heard she would be doing. He heard that she would be
working at the Furniture and Things Community Event Center to help due to a lack of a chef. Mr.
Stremcha clarified that it would be a short-term help and not a guarantee of work. It could be to help
with catering events.
Mayor Dietz stated that he disagrees with counting staff time towards the $500,000 cost. He stated that
staff time is staff time and should not be singled out. He also stated that he would not include the price
of the land either. He explained to his perspective that all they had stuck in the cost was her wages and
the architect's fees.
Mr. Stremcha wanted to reaffirm that the staff time calculated has been staff time specifically allocated
to cannabis.
Mayor Dietz explained that he thinks the staff did a good job, and he is taking a lot of responsibility for
what has happened, and feels bad that he had not said anything sooner, but we have to move on. He
explained he agrees with building the new liquor store and selling the old store.
Councilmember Grupa asked how much square footage was for Cannabound. Mr. Stremcha stated that
Cannabound was 5,000 square feet total. Councilmember Grupa asked what they are going to charge
for the changes. Mr. Stremcha explained he has rough estimates and won't know the total until the
hourly rates have been applied, but he can get what has been spent to date. Councilmember Grupa
asked for numbers and stated that a building is a building, and suggested making the liquor store bigger,
so you are not cutting off the 5,000 square feet.
Councilmember Wagner wanted clarification regarding the discontinuation of the THC sales. Mr.
Stremcha explained that they have a 90-day supply, which would coincide with the manager's layoff.
Councilmember Wagner explained that she would not discontinue THC sales at the liquor stores and
that, to her, they are separate from Cannabound, unless the Federal law stops it. She also stated that
the THC sales are something that is already in place.
Councilmember Beyer asked for an explanation of why staff wanted the THC sales stopped.
Mr. Stremcha explained at the December 1 Council meeting that this topic was talked about in the
Work Session, so no formal action could be taken, but based on the context of selling cannabis and the
decision that was discussed at the work session to not sell cannabis in preparation between then and
now, they included taking out the THC products at the liquor stores. He further explained that
whether it is a cannabis plant or a hemp plant, it is a THC end product, whether it is sold at
Cannabound or the liquor stores. He stated that they would like clarification on the rationale for selling
products at Cannabound versus the liquor stores. He continued that if one is acceptable and one is not,
he would like to understand the difference.
Councilmember Beyer stated that the conversation was based on Cannabound, not the THC drinks
Page 137 of 318
City Council Minutes
December 15, 2025
---------
Page 9 of 13
that are in the stores now, and said there was no conversation about THC drinks.
Councilmember Grupa said that the liquor store is the liquor store; we are talking about the marijuana
store. He stated in his opinion that they are separate.
Councilmember Wagner wanted to clarify that as a Council, we would agree for the THC drinks to
continue. She stated she would make a motion on that if need be. She also stated that we shouldn't
make the footprint smaller and that it should continue to be the size it is currently. She continued to
explain that there are so many unknowns, and things keep getting changed at the state and federal levels
right now. She expressed that she applauds the work that staff has been doing and has the utmost
respect for the staff.
Mayor Dietz asked if the footprint stays the same, would they avoid the extra fees? The Council
discussed and stated that there would still be some fees. Mayor Dietz then brought up whether they
would be able to lease part of the space for retail space and put a fake wall up, so that if they decide not
to lease anymore, they could take the fake wall out.
Mr. Stremcha asked for clarification from the Council if the direction from the Council is to maintain
the exterior of the building, but not the interior, so it would be a hollow shell. Councilmember Wagner
asked if they needed to make that decision right now. Mr. Stremcha stated not necessarily.
Councilmember Wagner said that she would want to take time to think about that.
Mayor Dietz wanted clarification. Mr. Stremcha asked whether the intention was to install a concrete
floor, but no flooring or ceiling tile or anything, or would it be designed for a cannabis retailer, or would
it be designed for a future use that we would be intending to use the space for.
Councilmember Grupa stated that he thinks we need to wait for that because we are talking about
mechanicals and other things that need to be put in before you put in concrete.
Mr. Portner explained that we can build the exterior footprint and leave it a hollow shell until we find
out what kind of potential client we get into the building.
Councilmember Calva asked if we could set parameters for what kind of space is allowed.
Mayor Dietz asked Mr. Shepherd if they could set parameters for what could go into that space. Mr.
Shepherd stated they could.
Councilmember Wagner stated that she would disagree with having any parameters on it at the
moment, especially since it is a new thing. She thinks that the audiences that are talking to each of them
are different, and wants to wait until things settle down and there is clearer guidance. She doesn't want
to be pigeonholed to not allow something that could be a viable business, for fear of Elk River turning
into a stoner town, as a generalization.
Councilmember Calva shared that he does not have a fear of it, but thinks it's what the community is
asking for and referenced the Open Forum speaker regarding cannabis. He stated he is okay with the
new building, but he does not ever want a cannabis store next to the new liquor store because it is a
city-owned store, and people would assume the city was involved with the cannabis store.
Councilmember Beyer wanted to get back to how staff got back to the $500,000 number. He stated
Page 138 of 318
City Council Minutes
December 15, 2025
---------
Page 10 of 13
that he does not agree with adding the property to the $500.000 for the cannabis store because the
property is the property and stated that they could get someone in there easily, and these costs are not
only presented to them but to the whole city, and he doesn't think that the $500,000 number is true,
along with other Council members.
Mr. Stremcha reiterated that the market value for that property is not what they purchased the lot for;
they intended to purchase the lot at a premium with the intention that they would receive the
additional revenue from Cannabound to help offset those sales and investment in the lot.
Councilmember Beyer stated the revenue from Cannabound would not come for two-three years. Mr.
Stremcha stated that it is relevant and that it would be the same for Northbound; they do not intend to
recoup the Northbound investment in the first year of business. He explained it is a loan, no different
than a bond, that they would build the building and have a 10-20 year repayment event of that
investment. He further explained that the expectation for Cannabound to have a 100% recoup
investment is the same equation as Northbound, and it is not feasible.
Councilmember Beyer also stated that we don't know what the state of Minnesota will be taking in
taxes right now. They may decide they need to take more.
Mr. Stremcha answered, saying that whatever the state were to issue the sales tax to be is what they
would have to pay, and that it would not affect the purchasing power of the product, it is a sales tax.
Mayor Dietz questioned how to separate out Cannabound and the liquor store for the purchasing of
the land, because either way, we would have to have purchased the whole piece of property. Mr.
Stremcha explained that we went in knowing that we were paying a premium and knowing that they
would have a better chance of recouping costs and investment over time.
Mayor Dietz stated that he thinks the only out-of-pocket expense was for the cannabis manager's wages
and insurance.
Councilmember Beyer asked the Council if they could agree that they could come up with some ideas
of what they could do, and doesn't think they can solve everything tonight.
Councilmember Grupa stated that he is not rushing into anything, but whatever you want to discuss, so
we can move forward we can. He suggested keeping the building the same size as it is currently
proposed.
Mayor Dietz asked the Council if they agreed to build a new building. The Council agreed, except for
Councilmember Beyer, who wants to make sure we are doing it the right way, and stated, as he said in
the meeting before, that they are going to bond 8.2 million, and it is going to be paid for with
installment payments. Councilmember Beyer asked Mr. Stremcha what the amount would be for the
installment payments. Mr. Stremcha explained that he does not have that number on him right now, but
explained that the intention would be a 15–20 year bond repayment schedule, depending on the
interest rates at the time. Councilmember Beyer stated that now we are going to have a bond payment
and was questioning how it will affect the money coming out of the liquor store fund to the general
fund and parks and recreation fund, which helps to lower taxes.
Mayor Dietz explained that there was money that was going to be 2 to 2.8 million dollars that was
going to be used to do repairs to Northbound that would come out of the liquor store fund in addition
Page 139 of 318
City Council Minutes
December 15, 2025
---------
Page 11 of 13
to the $850,000 that was already paid for the lot; with that said, there will not be $850,000 to be put
into the city coffers. He explained there might be some depending on the bond payments, but most of it
will either have to go to repair the current store or build a new one.
Councilmember Beyer explained that he would like to see it all before he says yes and moves forward,
stating that he thinks he is being a good steward to the community.
Mayor Dietz stated that they need to make a decision and move on. He said that after what they saw
today, there is no way he would agree to sink a bunch of money into the current store for repairs.
Councilmember Grupa asked Mr. Stremcha what he needed from them tonight. Mr. Stremcha went
over the action items as stated in the staff report.
Mayor Dietz asked if they should talk to the architect before they decided on the contract. Mr. Portner
explained that if the Council is okay with what the footprint is, then Items 2 and 3 do not need to be
acted on tonight.
Moved by Mayor Dietz and seconded by Councilmember Calva to discontinue the
implementation of the Cannabis Business Plan (approved Feb 3, 2025) until more
information is available. Motion carried 5-0.
Moved by Councilmember Calva and seconded by Councilmember Grupa to approve a
layoff of the Cannabound Manager effective April 10, 2026. Motion carried 5-0.
Mr. Portner added that the projected annual payment for the Northbound bond schedule was
$263,812, and $131,906 projection for Cannabound, which will already be less, so a rough projection
would be in the $300,000 payment range.
8.3 2026 Meeting Calendar: City Council and Advisory Boards
The staff report was presented.
Moved by Mayor Dietz and seconded by Councilmember Wagner to approve, the 2026
City Council and Advisory Boards meeting calendars. Motion carried 5-0.
9. MOTION TO ADJOURN REGULAR MEETING
Moved by Councilmember Wagner and seconded by Mayor Dietz to adjourn the meeting.
Motion carried 5-0.
The regular meeting adjourned at 8:34 p.m. Mayor Dietz called the work session to order at 8:42 p.m.
10. WORK SESSION
10.1 Ebikes/Scooters on City Sidewalks and Trails
The staff report was presented.
The Council discussed with staff regarding the different types of E-bikes and scooters, how fast they can

travel, and safety concerns.
Chief Kuhnly and Parks and Recreation Commissioner Dave Anderson were in attendance.
Mayor Dietz asked if they could paint a white line down the middle of the trails and say one side bikes,
one side walkers.
Mr. Shelby stated that it is a possibility, and they will be looking into that.
Mr. Shelby asked if they should include sidewalks and downtown.
Mr. Anderson explained that E-Bikes can be ridden on pavement, and the only dirt trail they can ride on
is a class one at Hillside, and scooters can ride on pavement. He stated that nothing can ride on grass
or unpaved trails. He further explained that E-bikes have created a whole new world for pedestrians,
and our trails were originally planned for pedestrians. He expressed that he doesn't like scooters or E-
bikes on trails, but they kind of have to be there. He stated what you do with sidewalks is a different
topic, but there has to be some kind of restrictions on sidewalks. He also stated that you actually
cannot split the trails with half pedestrians, half E-Bikes because you don't want two E-bikes coming at
each other on a 4-foot path. He added, if you have rules, then people know the rules; right now, no one
knows the rules.
Mayor Dietz asked Chief Kuhly if he thinks they should differentiate sidewalks in certain areas that are
heavily populated, like downtown. Chief Kuhly stated that his concern is that kids are driving these, and
they only know how to navigate sidewalks, not streets, and is concerned that if we say no scooters on
sidewalks and put kids on the roadway, then kids are just going to cut across the roadways, because
they don't know any different. He understands that there is a concern regarding the speed, but he is
more concerned about putting a kid on the road who doesn't know how to navigate the roadway.
Councilmember Wagner asked if they could start with the trails and not the sidewalks yet, then start
the conversation about sidewalks later, and start educating people.
The Council directed staff to move forward with the ordinance pertaining to trails and take out
sidewalks.
10.2 Northbound Capital Improvements
The staff report was presented
Mr. Stremcha handed the Council information regarding the last five years in sales and profits.
Mr. Portner stated that they have the direction they need to move forward from the decisions made
earlier in the meeting. They will present the numbers as they receive them.
Staff will meet with the architect and bring information back to the Council.
10.3 Vehicle Acquisition and Replacement Policy Manual
The staff report was presented.
Page 141 of 318

Page 13 of 13
The Council reviewed the suggested policy and gave direction for Mr. Litfin to move forward with the
plan.
10.4 Red Dot Pistol Sights
The staff report was presented.
Mayor Dietz asked if it was a one-time expense. Chief Kuhly explained that the pistol itself is a one-time
purchase, and the red dot is a one-time purchase, with the possibility of replacement over time for the
red dot. He stated they last for 5-7 years.
Mayor Dietz asked if we knew for sure if there would be a surplus for the purchase. Mr. Portner stated
we would have to get back to the Council with the numbers.
The Council gave him direction to continue to move forward with the plan.
11. MOTION TO ADJOURN

Resolution 26-05
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Elk River Denying a Parking
Count Variance and a Wetland Setback Variance at 17379 Twin Lakes Road
NW
WHEREAS, Patrick Briggs, (“Applicant”), has applied (“Application”) for two
Variances (Case No. V 25-21), reducing the number of parking spaces required per
residential unit when developing an apartment building and a six-foot
encroachment into the wetland buffer strip setback at 17379 Twin Lakes Road NW,
Elk River, MN (“Property”); and
WHEREAS, the record in this matter includes all of the materials submitted to the
Board of Adjustments and City Council in connection with the Variance Application;
including the staff reports and all attachments thereto, all other written materials
submitted to the Board of Adjustments and City Council, and all staff presentations
and other testimony taken at the public meetings considering the Application for
the Variances, all of which is incorporated in and made a part of the findings of fact
and this resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustments held a public hearing on November 25,
2025, to receive testimony and evidence from city staff, the Applicant and any other
persons regarding the Application; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustments denied the Application, stating that the
request is the result of the Applicant’s own action and that alternatives exist within
the limits of the ordinance, which does not satisfy City Code § 30-635 (c) (2); and
WHEREAS, the Application was automatically appealed to the City Council, who
held a public hearing on December 15, 2025, to receive testimony and evidence
from city staff, the Applicant and any other persons regarding whether the
Application should be approved; and
Page 144 of 318
WHEREAS, the Applicant and all others wishing to speak were given the
opportunity to present testimony to the Board of Adjustments and City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, at the conclusion of its December 15, 2024, public
hearing on the Application, directed staff to prepare a resolution making findings of
fact denying the Application as the request does not satisfy City Code § 30-635 (c)
(2), required for issuance of a variance.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Elk River make the following:
FINDINGS
1. The Application requested a variance to allow construction of 2.0 parking
stalls per residential unit.
2. The request is below the 2 ½ parking stalls per residential unit for multifamily
projects required in § 30-903 (2) (a).
City Code § 30-903. Minimum number of parking spaces. (2) Dwellings:
a. Multiple-family dwelling, including attached townhouses over two units
and townhomes: 2½ parking spaces per dwelling unit, one space of which
must be completely enclosed.
3. The Application also requested a variance to allow a portion of the
multifamily building to encroach up to six feet into the 20-foot wetland buffer
setback.
4. City Code § 30-1852 (b) prohibits principal structures and all other
impervious surfaces within the wetland buffer setback.
City Code § 30-1852. – Performance standards.
(b) Wetland buffer strip setback. A minimum 20-foot setback from wetland
buffer strips is hereby established by the city.
i. No principle or accessory structures, patios, paving, or other
impervious surface shall be located within this setback.
5. Upon reviewing the Application and receiving testimony during the
December 15, 2025, public hearing, the City Council found that the plight is
due to the Applicant’s action. Furthermore, the property can be reasonably
used without a reduction to the parking requirements in Sec. 30-903 or
reducing the wetland buffer setback noted in Sec. 30-1852.
6. The Applicant’s statement that the existing ingress/egress easement limits
the development potential of the property, requiring approval of the
Page 145 of 318
Application, does not account for possible design alternatives which would
not require a variance.
7. City Code § 30-635 describes the findings required for approval of a variance.
The Application and proposed project do not meet the required findings in
City Code, specifically City Code § 30-635 (c) (2), as provided below:
City Code § 30-635 (c) (2):
(2) The plight of the petitioner is due to circumstances unique to the
property not a consequence of the petition's own action or inaction;
and
The Applicant noted in their Application that the variance was necessary
due to an existing ingress/egress easement that must be maintained to
ensure access for the properties to the east. The project proposal can be
modified to account for the easements presence and does not require
the variance. The plight is due to the petition’s own action, and should not
be granted.
8. Taking into consideration all the testimony and evidence received, including
statements from the applicant, staff reports, and the findings of the Board of
Adjustments, the City Council finds that the plight stated in the Application is
a consequence of the petition’s own action. The Applicant has not
established that they meet the requirements for a variance.
DECISION
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ELK RIVER, MINNESOTA, based upon the information received
and the above Findings, the City Council of the City of Elk River hereby denies the
Variance Application V 25-21, requested a reduction to the number of parking
spaces required per residential unit when developing an apartment building and a
six-foot encroachment into the wetland buffer strip setback at 17379 Twin Lakes
Road NW, Elk River, MN.
Passed and adopted this 20th day of January 2026.

Tina Allard
Action Requested
Direct staff to draft a resolution making Findings of Fact, denying two variances, one requesting a reduction in
the number of parking stalls required for an apartment building, and second, a six-foot encroachment into the
wetland buffer setback, as the following standard required for approval of a variance has not been met:
4. The plight of the petitioner is due to circumstances unique to the property and is a consequence of the
petitioner's own action.
The City Council would consider the resolution on January 20, 2026.
Background/Discussion
The applicant, Patrick Briggs, is proposing the construction of a 59-unit multifamily apartment building at
17379 Twin Lakes Parkway. The property is 5.79 acres in size and includes one single-family home on the
north side of the parcel. The current variance request supports the planned apartment building, but the
application does not authorize construction. A separate administrative site plan review application is required.
Proposed variances include reducing the required number of stalls from the ordinance standard of 2.5
stalls/unit to 2.13 stalls and a six-foot encroachment in the wetland buffer setback. These types of parking
requests have become common throughout the community, and a similar request was approved for the
apartment building immediately north of the subject site. The proposed encroachment into the buffer/setback
impacts six feet of the required 45-foot buffer and setback. The ordinance prohibits structures and impervious
surfaces in this area, but maintained vegetation (turf) is allowed. The proposed building would be 39 feet from
the wetland at the closest point, with a smaller encroachment of three feet (42 feet from the delineated
wetland) for approximately 50 feet.
Civil plans include filling an existing wetland to accommodate the stormwater pond to treat the new
impervious surfaces. This impact is not part of the variance request.
Public Hearing
The Board of Adjustments held a public hearing on November 25, 2025. Two residents, the neighbors to the
east who also use the access easement through the parcel, spoke in opposition to the variance. They had
Page 147 of 318
concerns that reducing the number of parking stalls would create a situation that encourages people to park
in their driveways or on their properties. They also shared concerns with the apartment building north of
their home, Clear Sky, and stated that there is a lot of garbage from tenants left out. They also stated that
adding up to 120 new residents on the parcel would create a traffic hazard along Twin Lakes Road.
The Board of Adjustments reviewed the standards required for approval of a variance and focused on the
criteria number four, requiring the variance to be unique to the property and not a result of the applicant's
actions or preferences. The Board stated that the developer could build a smaller building and meet the
ordinance without either variance. They unanimously denied the variance requests as criteria number four is
not met.

Action Requested
Approve the variance request from Patrick Briggs for a parking variance, reducing the required stalls from
2.5/unit to the proposed 2.13/unit, and for a wetland buffer/setback variance for an encroachment of up to 6-
feet into the wetland buffer setback, as the following standards have been met:
1. The general purpose and intent of the ordinance are met.
2. The property is guided for mixed-residential use, and the proposed 59-unit multifamily residential use
is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The proposed use is reasonable and is permitted in the zoning ordinance.
4. The plight of the petitioner is due to circumstances unique to the property, not a consequence of the
petitioner's own action or inaction.
5. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality.
and, subject to the following conditions.
1. The applicant must provide a proof-of-parking exhibit demonstrating that the site can support 2.5
stalls/unit if required.
2. All areas within the 20-foot wetland buffer setback must be vegetated and no additional impervious
surfaces will be permitted.
3. The proposed wetland fill/impact must receive approval of a wetland replacement plan prior to
issuance of a building permit.
4. The property will need to be platted into two lots prior to the issuance of building permits. One lot
for the existing home and one lot for the proposed apartment.
5. The applicant must prepare and record an ingress/egress easement to preserve access for the two
single-family homes east of the subject site which currently access their properties through the subject
site.
6. The applicant must also prepare and record a utility easement to allow the extension of utilities from
Twin Lakes Road right-of-way to the existing homes to the east.

Background/Discussion
The applicant, Patrick Briggs, is proposing construction of a 59-unit multi-family apartment building at 17379
Twin Lakes Parkway. The property is currently 5.79 acres in size and includes one single-family home on the
north side of the parcel. The current variance request supports the planned apartment building, but this
application does not authorize construction of the building. A separate administrative site plan review
application is required.
Proposed variances include a reduced parking requirement – reducing the required number of stalls from the
ordinance standard of 2.5 stalls/unit to 2.13 stalls. This type of parking request has become common
throughout the community, and a similar request was approved for the apartment building immediately north
of the subject site.
The proposed apartment building includes 53 studio units and 6 one-bedroom units. It is expected that this
unit style will reduce the parking demand below the 2.5 stalls/unit required within the ordinance and is
consistent with recent variances throughout the community. Staff included a typical requirement of an exhibit
demonstrating proof-of-parking to show that the full parking requirement can be met if parking becomes a
concern in the future.
The existing wetland on the property has been reviewed by the city’s environmental staff. The proposed
encroachment into the buffer/setback impacts 6 feet of the required 45-foot buffer and setback. Ordinance
prohibits structures and impervious surfaces in this area, but maintained vegetation (turf) is allowed. The
proposed building would be 39 feet from the delineated wetland and a small corner of the structure with a
smaller encroachment of 3-feet (42-feet from delineated wetland) for approximately 50 feet.
Civil plans include filling an existing wetland to accommodate the stormwater pond to treat the new
impervious surfaces. This impact is not part of the variance request and must be approved separately through
a wetland replacement plan.
Applicable Regulations
The variance standards are outlined below. The applicant's responses are noted in italics.
A variance may be granted when the petitioner establishes that the variance satisfies all five of the criteria
described below.
The variance is:
1. Is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the ordinance, and
The zoning and Comprehensive plan are in alignment with owners use.
The parking variance has become a relatively common request either through a Planned Unit Development or
with a variance. The city’s experience with a parking variance of greater than 2 stalls/unit has generally not
resulted in too few parking stalls to serve the buildings. The included condition of a proof of parking exhibit
must show that additional parking can be constructed if parking becomes an issue in the future.
The wetland buffer setback has also become common, and with the condition that no additional impervious
surfaces be placed within the buffer setback, the impact is supported by staff.
The variances are generally in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance.
2. Is consistent with the City of Elk River comprehensive plan.
The zoning and Comprehensive plan are in alignment with owners use.
The Comprehensive Plan guides the property for mixed-residential uses, up to and including small-scale
Page 150 of 318
apartment buildings. The building immediately north of the subject site includes 52 units (constructed in 2023)
and carries the same land use classification.
The Comprehensive Plan generally supports the proposed use of a 59-unit apartment building.
Variances may be granted when the petitioner establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with
the zoning ordinance. Practical difficulties mean that:
3. The petitioner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning
ordinance;
The parking request is in alignment with the general purpose of parking client vehicles on site with an established
history of parking within city limits.
The owner is in alignment with the general purpose of managing the stormwater runoff rate equal to or less than
existing conditions post development. All impervious surfaces will be drained to an infiltration basin on site.
The proposed parking deviation of greater than 2 stalls/unit has proven to be a reasonable use not otherwise
permitted in the ordinance.
The civil plans demonstrate that the impervious encroachment into the wetland setback includes the roof of
the building, which will direct runoff to the stormwater pond and not directly to the adjacent wetland.
4. The plight of the petitioner is due to circumstances unique to the property, not a consequence of the
petition's own action or inaction; and
Due to the uniqueness of an easement serving two additional parcels, we are limited to the practicality of space on said
site.
Due to the uniqueness of an easement serving two additional parcels, we are limited to the practicality of moving the
basin to the north. The building is an L-shaped building. The 90-degree angle on the inside corner would be
impractical to construct at a 65-degree angle. We also considered removing the sidewalk between the building and
parking lot. However, it is much more practical and safer to have dedicated space for pedestrian traffic to and from
their vehicles in the parking lot and the structure on the southwest corner of apartment homes.
The applicant states that the practical difficulties lie in preserving free and clear access for the parcels to the
east – both of which currently access their properties through the site. One of the homes was constructed in
1972 and the other in 1978, neither directly abut a public street and do not have any other means of access
to their properties. The access easement connection noted by the applicant must be maintained in the same
location as it is today.
5. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
We are not altering the character of the site.
We are not altering the character of the zoning of the site.
The proposed apartment building is similar in size and scale to the parcels immediately north and south of the
subject site. All of these facilities are located along Twin Lakes Road and will not alter the essential character
of the locality.

If the Board of Adjustments denies the request, or an appeal is made by any interested party by December 5,
2025, the variance will be reviewed by the City Council on Monday, December 15, at 6:00 p.m.

Chair Beise closed the public hearing.
Chair Beise felt that 590 square feet was too much over the allowed 400 square feet. Commissioner
Booth agreed. Commissioner Johnson added that the request does not seem to meet the five criteria
for granting a Variance. He may be in favor of granting a Variance for 420 square feet, the size of the
existing site.
Moved by Commissioner Booth to deny the Variance proposal to exceed the permitted
size of a water-oriented storage structure, as the following standards have not been met:
1. Allowing a structure nearly twice the size of what is permitted within the shore
impact zone does not meet the general purpose and intent of the ordinance.
2. The property has a land use guidance for residential, and the proposed single-family
residential use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The proposed use is not reasonable as the property already contains a permitted
100 SF. water-oriented structure that serves the intended purpose of storing lake-
related equipment.
4. There are no circumstances unique to the property that create hardship. The
request results from the applicant’s desire for additional space, which is a self-
created condition, not a property hardship.
5. Granting the variance would permit a structure nearly twice the size allowed within
proximity to the lake that could alter the essential character.
Chair Beise asked if the Commission would like to approve a Variance for 420 square feet. Mr. Carlton
stated, if the Commission wished to approve that size they could amend their motion.
Moved by Commissioner Booth and seconded by Commissioner Johnson to amend the
Variance proposal to exceed the permitted size of a water-oriented storage structure by
20 square feet for a total size of 420 square feet. Motion carried 4-0.
Mr. Carlton stated that the applicant can appeal the Board of Adjustment decision in writing by
December 5, 2025. If the applicant appeals the decision the item will go to the December 15, 2025 City
Council meeting for review.
5.2 Variance: Parking and Wetland Setbacks in Support of an Apartment Building, Pat Briggs - 17379
Twin Lakes Rd NW
Mr. Carlton presented the staff report.
Chair Beise asked when the 24 month timeline for a proof of parking plan would begin. Mr. Carlton
stated it would begin when the certificate of occupancy was issued.
Commissioner Zahler asked about proof of parking for other similar sites. Mr. Carlton stated that Elk
River Lodge has had a proof of parking plan in place since 2017 and Clear Sky since 2023.
Commissioner Zahler asked if any of these sites has had to implement their plan. Mr. Carlton stated
that had not yet occured. Mr. Carlton added that the city may look to rewrite the ordinance that
Page 166 of 318
Board of Adjustments Minutes

Page 3 of 3
pertains to parking.
Chair Beise opened the public hearing.
Morgan and Matthew Lerfald, 17395 Twin Lakes Rd, stated their concerns with the proposed
project including zoning in the area, issues with neighboring properties, traffic concerns, snow removal,
encroachment into the wetlands, and property values.
Ms. Lerfald asked the Commission to conduct a comprehensive traffic study from Highway 10 to 181st
Ave NW before a parking variance would be granted.
Mr. Lerfald asked the Commission to table the discussion and look at the zoning of the area.
Chair Beise closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Johnson stated he does not see the plight of the petitioner and cannot see approving
either variance. The applicant is able to work within the confines of the property. He would not
recommend any parking under 2 1/2 per unit.
Commissioner Booth asked if the decision on the application could be postponed while the
Commission looks at zoning of the site. Mr. Carlton stated that the Commission has to act on the
active application during a certain timeline under the current zone use.
Commissioner Booth agreed that there was plenty of room on the site to meet the parking and
wetland setbacks or the apartment size could be reduced.
Moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Booth to deny the
Variance request due to the request not meeting the five criteria, specifically criteria
number four.
Motion carried 4-0.
Mr. Carlton stated that the item will go to the December 15, 2025, City Council meeting for review.
6. MOTION TO ADJOURN REGULAR MEETING
Moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Booth to adjourn the
meeting. Motion carried 4-0.
The meeting adjourned at 7:08 p.m.
Minutes prepared by Katie Porath.

Councilmember Calva asked if it was visible from the lake. Mrs. Poythress stated that it was not, and it
is in a private bay. Councilmember Calva asked if the neighbors could see it from their backyard. Mr.
and Mrs. Poythress explained that, considering the wooded lot, it would be hard to see.
Councilmember Calva explained that he would have no problem making an exception in this case as
long as there were not going to be eight other exceptions.
Councilmember Wagner stated that they do not know if there are going to be other requests, and
every project should have its own merit.
Councilmember Beyer thanked them for what they have done and stated that they have done the work
by talking to their neighbors, to the city, and to the DNR. He explained a lot of times, exceptions are
hard to make when you have negative neighbors and such, but in this case, there are none, and he has
respect for them doing the work. He also thanked them for keeping up the work on the easements.
Councilmember Beyer explained that he knows it is a hidden area and no one is ever going to see it. He
went on to explain that, given the situation, he could support the exception.
Moved by Councilmember Wagner and seconded by Councilmember Beyer, directing
staff to draft a resolution making Findings of Fact, approving the variance to exceed the
permitted size of a water-oriented storage structure, for approval at the January 5, 2026,
Council meeting. Motion carried 5-0.
7.3 Variance: Parking and Wetland Setback to Support Development of an Apartment Building, Pat
Briggs - 17379 Twin Lakes Rd NW
The staff report was presented.
Councilmember Grupa opened the public hearing on behalf of Mayor Dietz.
Patrick Briggs, 17379 Twin Lakes Road, subject property, handed to the Council a letter that was
presented to the neighbors. Mr. Briggs explained that they have been kind and cordial to the neighbors
throughout the years, but now it is time to develop the property and move forward. Mr. Briggs
compared this property to the Hillside Heights property to the north regarding parking requests and
stated his request is reasonable. He went on to explain different aspects of why the Council should
approve the variance.
Councilmember Calva stated his biggest concern is that the person has private access.
Matthew and Morgan Lerfald, 17395 Twin Lakes Rd NW, explained that the letter they
received from Mr. Briggs does not feel genuine, which they received on Friday before Monday's Council
meeting. They stated that they tried to reach out to Mr. Briggs multiple times, but have not been able
to get a hold of him or anyone. Every time they call, they go to an answering machine, and nobody ever
gets back to them, other than when he denied them a utility easement to get natural gas to their home.
They tried to get a utility easement along the driveway, and he denied them the easement. Mr. Lerfald
stated that this feels like a scare tactic, stating that if they didn't talk at the meeting, he would buy their
property. They explained other concerns they had regarding the apartment complex going in this area.
Brad Brummer, 14524 145th Court NW, stated that he is in the process of selling his home and
DRAFT

City Council Minutes
December 15, 2025
---------
Page 6 of 13
explained that he would look for a new apartment to rent; therefore, he supports the apartment
building at this location.
Councilmember Grupa closed the public hearing.
Mayor Dietz explained that the Board of Adjustments pointed out that Mr. Briggs would not need the
variances if he reduced the size of his project and stated he would not be voting for either one.
Councilmember Wagner explained the reason for the denial from the Board of Adjustments is that it is
a new project, and the applicant knows what the land has and doesn't have, and could be solved by
changing the size. She stated every project has to stand on its own merit. This project is not the same
as other projects, and she has concerns about the easement portion of the driveway. She has a hard
time coming up with a reason to go against the Board of Adjustments, stating that it's a new project,
and it could be taken care of with a couple of adjustments. For these reasons, she will not be able to
support the request.
Councilmember Beyer stated that he does not see a traffic study and has no clue how that will affect
anything. Mr. Carlton explained that a traffic study has been submitted to the Public Works
Department. This is a variance component. The land use portion will be a different conversation.
Councilmember Beyer explained that we don't know how things are going to change with the
Northstar gone. He explained that Elk River has grown and grown and questioned how big we want Elk
River to get. He explained that at this point, he would be sticking with what the Board of Adjustments
suggested and would be voting against it as well.
Councilmember Grupa has concerns regarding the project and thinks that Mr. Briggs could make some
adjustments as well. He stated he would not be voting for the variance either.
Moved by Mayor Dietz and seconded by Councilmember Calva to direct staff to draft a
resolution making Findings of Fact, denying two variances, one requesting a reduction in
the number of parking stalls required for an apartment building, and second, a six-foot
encroachment into the wetland buffer setback, as the following standard required for
approval of a variance has not been met:
4. The plight of the petitioner is due to circumstances unique to the property and is a
consequence of the petitioner's own action.
The City Council would consider the resolution on January 20, 2026. Motion carried 5-0.
7.4 Resolution 25-78 and Ordinance 25-17: Amend City Plans to Support Commercial Uses,

The staff report was presented.
Councilmember Grupa opened the public hearing on behalf of Mayor Dietz. There being no one to
speak to this matter, Councilmember Grupa closed the public hearing.
Moved by Councilmember Wagner and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt
Resolution 25-78 amending the land use guidance for 11401 205th Ave NW from Rural
Residential to Highway Business, subject to the condition that Sherburne County prepare

required by applicable Law, no license is granted for installation or use of any Software on any
Product resold by anyone who is not an authorized reseller of Cellebrite for such Product.

Access Protocol at the same time. For example, if a host computer is installed with multiple
instances of Cellebrite’s UFED Physical Analyzer, Customer will ensure that it is not possible
for multiple remote users to connect to the host computer and/or ensure that the foregoing does
not occur. Regarding any other Cellebrite products or software other than Cellebrite’s UFED
Physical Analyzer, Customer may not use a Remote Access Protocol unless expressly agreed to
in writing by Cellebrite. Regarding Endpoint Inspector and/or Endpoint Mobile, it is hereby
clarified and agreed that: (i) Customer may use Remote Access Protocol and allow Authorized

server for concurrent and simultaneous use and/or access by the applicable number of
Concurrent Users. The number of Concurrent Users accessing such Software at any time may
not exceed the number of Concurrent Users specified in the Agreement. Customer must keep a
record of all Authorized Users who are Concurrent Users.

purpose of providing the Service. Such information may include, but is not limited to the
number of unlocking actions purchased by the Customer and/or left for use, types of Software
downloaded by Customer for the purpose of using the Service, etc. The Service may be
affected by factors beyond Cellebrite’s control and may not be continuous and uninterrupted.
Customer acknowledges that the Service may be subject to limitations and/or delays inherent in
the use of the internet and electronic communications, and Cellebrite is not responsible or
liable for any delays, delivery failures or other damage resulting from those technical
difficulties beyond its control.
x. Cellebrite Premium-aaS; Cellebrite InsEYEts; Mobile Ultra and Mobile Elite Services
(“Services”) Placement and Use. Customer shall use the Services and place all related Software

such desire and, no later than sixty (60) days following receipt of such request, Cellebrite may
decide either to: (a) perform the work to achieve such interoperability and charge its then-standard
rates for such work to Customer; or (b) permit Customer to reverse engineer parts of such Software

network and Internet connection for the limited purpose of transmitting license-related data at the

components (“Open Source Component”), including those detailed in the open source notices
files separately conveyed to Customer. To the extent so stipulated by the license that governs
each Open Source Component (“Open Source License”), each such Open Source Component is
licensed directly to Customer from its respective licensors and not sublicensed to Customer
by Cellebrite, and such Open Source Component is subject to its respective Open Source
License, and not to this Agreement. If, and to the extent, an Open Source Component requires
that this Agreement effectively impose, or incorporate by reference, certain disclaimers,
7/3/25, 8:25 AM legal.cellebrite.com/End-User-License-Agreement.html
https://legal.cellebrite.com/End-User-License-Agreement.html 8/17Page 215 of 318
permissions, provisions, prohibitions or restrictions, then such disclaimers, permissions,
provisions, prohibitions or restrictions shall be deemed to be imposed, or incorporated by
reference into this Agreement, as required, and shall supersede any conflicting provision of this
Agreement, solely with respect to the corresponding Open Source Component which
is governed by such Open Source License.
Open-Source Component list can be found under Cellebrite Customer Community here:

ii. If Customer or another party on its behalf, modifies, replaces or substitutes any Open Source
Component used in or provided with this Software, Customer hereby fully, forever, irrevocably
and unconditionally releases and discharges Cellebrite, its Affiliates and its and their
employees, officers, directors, resellers, distributors and representatives (collectively,
“Released Parties”) from any and all claims, charges, complaints, demands, actions, causes of
action, suits, rights, debts, covenants, liabilities, warranties, performance and maintenance and
support obligations (collectively, “Released Claims”), of every kind and nature, with respect
to such Software, including without limitation any such Released Claims that arise as a matter
of applicable Law.
iii. If an Open Source License requires that the source code of its corresponding Open Source
Component be made available to Customer, and such source code was not delivered to
Customer with the Software, then Cellebrite hereby extends a written offer, valid for the period
prescribed in such Open Source License, to obtain a copy of the source code of the
corresponding Open Source Component, from Cellebrite. To accept this offer, Customer
shall contact Cellebrite at support@cellebrite.com.

Product is an on-premise solution used and operated solely by Customer without the involvement of
Cellebrite; (b) Cellebrite is not engaged in any processing of ‘personal data’ (as this term is used in
Laws governing data privacy and data protection) that flows through the Product; and therefore (c) with
respect to Cellebrite activities in the scope of this Agreement, Cellebrite is neither a ‘data
controller’ nor ‘data processor’ (as these terms are used in Laws governing data privacy and data
protection).

monitor Customer’s use of the Software, Products and Services and use Customer usage data or

available, and (b) use such information to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable law
or regulation and for any purpose of data gathering, analysis, service and product enhancement and
marketing, provided that such data and information does not identify Customer or its Confidential
Information.

product experience.

assigns any intellectual property rights to Cellebrite in accordance with this Section, including any
moral rights, and appoints Cellebrite as its attorney-in-fact to pursue any such intellectual property
rights worldwide.
4. CONFIDENTIALITY – The parties may each disclose to the other proprietary information related to
the subject of the Agreement (“Confidential Information”). Software, Documentation, Trade Secrets,
and any technical information related thereto are Confidential Information of Cellebrite without any
marking requirement, but any other information disclosed in writing must be marked “confidential” or
“proprietary” to be deemed the Confidential Information of a party. Information disclosed orally may
be deemed Confidential Information if the disclosing party says it is proprietary and summarizes it in a
writing to the other party within twenty (20) days of the oral disclosure.
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §1833(b) , Customer shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any
Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of Cellebrite’s Trade Secrets (as defined below) only
if such disclosure is made: (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, solely for
the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) in a complaint or other
document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In court proceedings
claiming retaliation by Cellebrite for Customer ’s reporting a suspected violation of law, Customer may
only disclose Cellebrite Trade Secrets to Customer ’s legal counsel and may only use the Trade
Secret information, if Customer (i) files documents containing Trade Secrets under seal; and (ii)
Customer does not otherwise disclose Cellebrite Trade Secrets, except pursuant to a court order.
The term “Trade Secret” means all forms and types of financial, business, scientific, technical,
economic, or engineering information, including patterns, plans, compilations, program devices,
formulas, designs, prototypes, methods, techniques, processes, procedures, programs, or codes, whether
tangible or intangible, and whether or how stored, compiled, or memorialized physically, electronically,
graphically, photographically, or in writing if: (a) Cellebrite has taken reasonable measures to keep such
information secret; and (b) the information derives independent economic value, actual or potential,
from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable through proper means by,
another person who can obtain economic value from the disclosure or use of the information.
The receiving party shall: (a) hold Confidential Information in confidence using the same degree of
care as it normally exercises to protect its own proprietary information but at least reasonable care, (b)
restrict disclosure and use of Confidential Information to only employees (including any agents,
7/3/25, 8:25 AM legal.cellebrite.com/End-User-License-Agreement.html
https://legal.cellebrite.com/End-User-License-Agreement.html 10/17Page 217 of 318
contractors or consultants) with a need to know who are advised of their obligations with respect to
Confidential Information, (c) not copy, duplicate, reverse engineer or decompile Confidential
Information, (d) use Confidential Information only in furtherance of performance under the Agreement,
and (e) upon expiration or termination of the Agreement, at the disclosing party’s option, destroy or
return all Confidential Information to the disclosing party.
The receiving party shall have no obligation regarding Confidential Information that: (a) was
previously known to it free of any confidentiality obligation, (b) was independently developed by it, (c)
is or becomes publicly available other than by unauthorized disclosure, (d) is disclosed to third parties
by the disclosing party without restriction, or (e) is received from a third party without violation of any
confidentiality obligation.
If a party is faced with legal action or a requirement under applicable Law to disclose or make available
Confidential Information received hereunder, such party shall promptly notify the disclosing party and,
upon request of the latter, cooperate in contesting such action or requirement at the disclosing party’s
expense. Neither party shall be liable for damages for any disclosure or unauthorized access pursuant to
legal action or applicable Law or for inadvertent disclosure, access, or use if the customary degree of
care as it uses with respect to its own proprietary information has been exercised and if, upon discovery
of such inadvertent disclosure, access, or use the receiving party has endeavored to prevent any further
(inadvertent or otherwise) disclosure or use.
5. EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

in accordance with the requirement of any applicable law, rule and/or
regulations. Termination of the Agreement in accordance with this Section shall not impose on

analogue. Licensee will use its best efforts to classify those claims as administrative under

Jolene Richter
Action Requested
Approve, by motion, the public works equipment replacement purchase as scheduled in the Capitol
Improvement Plan.
Background/Discussion
The Public Works Streets Division requests authorization to purchase a Grafco Model 30 Pavement Router
(Model 21300H) to support ongoing street repair and maintenance operations.
Pavement routing is a critical preparatory step in asphalt maintenance, particularly for crack sealing and joint
repair. The router is used to clean, widen, and shape existing pavement cracks, ensuring proper bonding and
penetration of sealant materials. This significantly improves the effectiveness and longevity of repairs.
Financial Impact
The total purchase price of the Pavement Router is $17,471.60, which exceeds the placeholder budget
originally included in the Capital Improvement Plan due to updated pricing and current market conditions.
The purchase will be funded through the Equipment Replacement Fund, utilizing pricing established under
MnDOT Contract No. 260233, Project P-961(5).

Ordinance 26-02: Reasonable Accommodation
Ordinance
Reviewed by
Zack Carlton
Cal Portner
Jolene Richter
Action Requested
Adopt Ordinance 26-02 creating Chapter 2, Article 1, §2-2, Reasonable Accommodations.
Background/Discussion
The City Council directed staff to work with the city attorney and draft an ordinance providing an
opportunity to request deviations from city codes when related to ADA and the Fair Housing Act (FHA)
requirements. This would be an option for residents to present evidence of a Reasonable Accommodation
Request.
The ordinance establishes a review process for granting a modification/waiver of city regulations or policies to
an individual with a qualifying disability. Please note that this proposed ordinance would not only be for land
use requirements (Planning) but may also be utilized by all departments.
The proposed process would give the community development director, in consultation with the city
attorney, the authority to consider and act on requests. This type of request would not be a public hearing or
reviewed by the Board of Adjustment or City Council. The applicant would also have the right to appeal staff's
decision, consistent with many other areas of the ordinance, if there is a disagreement regarding staff's
decision.
The Planning Commission reviewed the ordinance on October 28, 2025, and was concerned that individuals
could use the appeal process for applications beyond the scope and intent of the proposed ordinance, possibly
creating an unintentional variance loophole. They also had questions about designating staff as the approver
for the requests and the burden that this places on them.
The city attorney was present at their December meeting to answer their questions about the proposed
ordinance amendment. After some discussion, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
ordinance, emphasizing that they wanted the city attorney to be an integral part of the process.
The proposed ordinance, drafted by the city attorney and recommended by the Planning Commission, is
attached.

Ordinance 26-02
An Ordinance Creating Chapter 2, Article 1, §2-2, Reasonable Accommodations of the City
of Elk River, Minnesota, City Code
The City Council of the City of Elk River does hereby ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. That § 2-2. – Reasonable Accommodations of the City of Elk River Code of
Ordinances shall be created to read as follows:
1.The city has a legitimate interest in imposing regulations to protect the public health,
safety, and general welfare. However, these regulations may not be applied in a manner
that denies reasonable accommodation as required by the federal Fair Housing
Amendments Act of 1988. It is city policy to provide reasonable accommodation for
persons with disabilities seeking fair and equal access to housing in compliance with
federal law. Reasonable accommodation means granting a modification or waiver of city
regulations or policies to an individual with a disability, or to a housing developer for an
individual with a disability, to eliminate barriers to housing opportunities as required by
the act. The process for making and acting upon requests for reasonable
accommodation is set forth below.
2.A person may request the modification or waiver of city regulations or policies by
submitting a written request to the community development director. No fee is required
for this application. The applicant must be an individual with a disability, his or her
representative, or a developer or housing provider for an individual with a disability. The
application must include a detailed explanation of why the modification or waiver is
reasonably necessary to make the specific housing or program available to the person,
verification of the disability, and any other information required by the director. If the
request also requires another city review or approval, the applicant must file the request
concurrently with that application.
Page 267 of 318
Strikethroughs to be removed
Underlines to be added
Last Updated January 2026
3. The city administrator, or their designee, in consultation with the city attorney, has the
authority to consider and act on requests for reasonable accommodation, except that
requests associated with another city review or approval will be considered and decided
concurrently with that application. A decision must be in writing and may include the
imposition of conditions. In making a decision, the following factors must be considered:
a. whether there is a qualifying disability;
b. whether the request is needed to allow a disabled person equal opportunity to
use and enjoy a dwelling, or to live in a particular neighborhood, as a person
without disabilities;
c. whether the request is reasonable, considering such things as the potential impact
on surrounding uses, new construction versus an existing structure, the extent to
which the accommodation meets the stated need or can alternative designs
accomplish the need, and other alternatives that may meet that need;
d. whether the request would constitute a fundamental alteration of city regulations,
policies, or procedures;
e. whether the request would impose an undue financial or administrative burden
on the city; and
f. any other factor that may have a bearing on the request.
4. The city administrator, or their designee’s, written decision, including notice of the right
to appeal, must be mailed to the applicant. The applicant may appeal the decision to the
city council by submitting a written request to the city clerk within 10 days after the
decision was mailed. The council gets the final decision of the city. Only the applicant has
a right to appeal.
5. An approved request related to the use of real property is granted only to an individual
and does not run with the land unless the director determines that (a) the
accommodation is physically integrated into the residential structure and cannot easily
be removed or altered or (b) the accommodation is to be used by another individual
with a disability.
6. The city administrator, or their designee, may require that the applicant record a
covenant agreeing to comply with conditions established in the determination, before
the issuance of any permits related to an approved reasonable accommodation with
respect to the use of real property.
SECTION 2. That this ordinance shall take effect upon adoption and be published as
provided by law.

be impeded.
7. The applicant must provide evidence of easements that provide access between the lot and a public street.
Background/Discussion
The applicant has proposed the construction of a new tire service station, Discount Tire, within the Elk Ridge
Center PUD. The area is governed by a PUD agreement, which outlines the approved uses for the district.
The proposed use is classified as a Motor Vehicle Specialty Service Station by ordinance, and is not currently
allowed within the PUD. The applicant has submitted an ordinance amendment application, which proposes to
add the use as a Conditional Use. The associated CUP application then proposes the construction for the use.
The Comprehensive Plan guides the area for Highway Business uses, which is consistent with other properties
where the same use is currently allowed. The most recent facility of this type constructed in Elk River is
within the C-3 (Highway Commercial) zoning district, which closely matches the subject area. Looking beyond
Page 270 of 318
the community, similar tire service stations have been constructed in existing commercial developments in
Rogers and Maple Grove, and do not appear to conflict with the existing commercial uses.
Planning Commission
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on December 16, 2025. The applicant spoke during the
hearing and requested the following condition be removed from the recommendation for approval: Overhead
doors must be kept closed while operating tools and equipment to minimize noise impacts on adjacent businesses. The
applicant stated that this would negatively impact the business and that the noise from the highway would
generally be louder than the noise from the garage. They also noted this is a commercial area and some
business noise is generally accepted.
The Planning Commission supported the request and unanimously recommended approval of the ordinance
amendment and CUP while removing the condition related to overhead doors.
No one else spoke during the public hearing, but before the meeting, staff spoke with a representative from
the adjacent daycare operation. They were concerned that the site plans would modify their parking or traffic
circulation. Staff informed them that the existing layout would remain in place and provided a copy of the
submitted plans.

Item Description
Ordinance Amendment and Conditional Use Permit:
Discount Tire, PID 75-00899-0010
Reviewed by
Katie Porath
Action Requested
Recommend approval of an ordinance amendment codifying the Planned Unit Development (PUD) standards
for the Elk Ridge Center area and adding Motor Vehicle Specialty Service Stations as a Conditional Use in the
district.
Recommend approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the proposed Discount Tire operation in Elk
Ridge Center, subject to the following conditions:
1. City Council approval of the associated ordinance amendment (OA 25-10) and plat (P 25-26).
2. Staff approval of all site, engineering, landscaping, and utility plans.
3. The use of hazardous materials such as lubricants, oils, chemicals, and solvents must be handled in
accordance with state standards.
4. The outdoor storage of tires, new deliveries or used, is prohibited. All tires must be stored within the
building and not visible from the exterior.
5. All four sides of the building must meet the PUD design standards.
6. The shared parking with the property to the south must be maintained and access between lots shall not be
impeded.
7. The applicant must provide evidence of easements which provide access between the lot and a public

Background/Discussion
The applicant has proposed construction of a new tire service station, Discount Tire, within the Elk Ridge
Center PUD. The area is governed by a PUD agreement which outlines the approved uses for the district.
The proposed use is classified as a Motor Vehicle Specialty Service Station within the ordinance, and is not
currently allowed within the PUD. The applicant has submitted an ordinance amendment application which
proposes to add the use as a Conditional Use. The associated CUP application then proposes construction of
the use.
The Comprehensive Plan guides the area for Highway Business uses, which is consistent with other properties
where the same use is currently allowed. The most recent facility of this type constructed in Elk River is
within the C-3 (Highway Commercial) zoning district, which closely matches the subject area. Looking beyond
Page 272 of 318
the community, similar tire service stations have been constructed in existing commercial developments in
Rogers and Maple Grove, and do not appear to conflict with the existing commercial uses.
The full definition of the proposed use is:
Motor vehicle specialty service station means a place where gasoline or other automobile engine fuel sales are
prohibited. Lubricants for the operation of motor vehicles may be sold directly to the public. Specialty stations are
intended for the sale of minor accessories and minor repairs for automobiles and small trucks. It is intended that
specialty stations shall specialize in one or two allowed uses and not generalize in all allowed uses. Minor repair
shall include tire servicing and repairs, replacement of mufflers, greasing and lubrication, minor motor
adjustments, transmission services, brake repairs, and auto glass replacement. Minor repairs shall not include
mechanical and body work, painting, welding, storage of inoperable vehicles, outside storage of overhauling
engines.
Uses of this class do carry some concern for potentially negative impacts on surrounding uses. However,
these impacts can generally be addressed with conditions of approval, and the use is most appropriate as a
conditional use — requiring City Council approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
Site and Development Plans
The subject site is located between a frontage road (Holt Street) along Highway 169 and an internal drive
servicing the Elk Ridge Center commercial district. There is no direct access to Holt Street, which is
consistent with other uses in the PUD, and all access will come from the internal drive.
The building is situated in the center of the parcel and surrounded by parking areas. These will service both
the customers and employees. The southern property line is shared with a daycare operation and the parking
crosses the lot line. This is consistent with the PUD as parking and circulation is generally shared between
uses and not isolated to each individual use.
The trash enclosure is located as far away from nearby uses as is feasible and screened from view along the
public street with walls and landscaping. The additional landscaping proposed with the project meets
ordinance standards and retains some of the existing trees along Holt Street and the stormwater basin.
Stormwater is captured on site and directed to a larger pond south of the daycare operation. The pervious
areas are not directing runoff to the adjacent stormwater basin. Engineering staff continue their review of the
stormwater plans and documents.
Staff are reviewing the architectural plans for compliance with the PUD standards. The PUD maintains a high
bar for building appearance, with the expectation of a "north woods" appearance. The initial review did not
identify any concerns, but staff will continue to review the plans and coordinate required updates with the
applicant. Deviations from the PUD standards are not proposed, and the building must meet all design
standards.
Applicable Regulation
Conditional Use Permit
The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can be ordered only if the use at the proposed location:
1. Will not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or
the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city.
The proposed use will not detrimentally impact adjacent existing businesses and is compatible with the
commercial nature of the area. The use will not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and
enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or the public health, safety, morals, comfort,
convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city.
Page 273 of 318
To ensure compliance with this standard, staff have included conditions to maintain the parking functionality
of the parcel to the south, while not eliminating any of the stalls they already have. The outside storage of
used or new tires is prohibited via condition, and will ensure the site does not appear messy or unkempt.
Additionally, the condition requiring overhead doors to be shut while operating tools and equipment will keep
notice impacts to a minimum.
2. Will be consistent with the comprehensive plan.
The property is guided for Highway Business uses. The highway business category primarily consists of a mix
of auto-oriented retail and service businesses, restaurants, and community and regional-scale shopping
centers. Highway business uses are located along Highway 169 and Highway 10 and have high visibility from
these corridors. The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. Will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property.
The area is nearly fully developed, and the remaining vacant lot is within the same land use and zoning
classification. The use does not impact access to the parcel, nor does it reduce the functionality for future
commercial uses on the site.
To ensure access to this parcel, while not impeding the use of nearby parcels, the applicant must provide
evidence of easements providing access to the site.
4. Will be served adequately by and will not adversely affect essential public facilities and services including streets,
police and fire protection, drainage, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, parks and schools; and will not, in
particular, create traffic congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and neighboring public thoroughfares.
The use will be served adequately by and will not adversely affect essential public facilities and services
including streets, police and fire protection, drainage, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, parks and
schools; and will not, in particular, create traffic congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and
neighboring public thoroughfares.
5. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental
to any persons or property because of excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, dust or vibrations.
The activities and equipment associated with a retail tire service station should not detrimentally affect nearby
properties.
The use of hazardous materials such as oils, lubricants, chemicals, and solvents shall be handled in accordance
with all state standards. Overhead doors are required to be kept closed while operating equipment to
minimize noise impacts on surrounding properties.
6. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance.
There are no natural, scenic, or historic features of major importance on the subject parcel.
Staff do not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard.
7. Will fully comply with all other requirements of this Code, including any applicable requirements and standards for
the issuance of a license or permit to establish and operate the proposed use in the city.
The proposed use is being developed within a PUD. The PUD has a high standard for building facades, while
leaving room for a site-specific review of the setbacks and building scale. The building must comply with the
design standards outlined in the PUD standards, and no deviation from those standards will be approved.
Staff's initial review indicates the project complies, but will continue to review the detailed elevations and
work directly with the applicant to address any concerns.
If denial of such a permit should occur, it shall accompany recommendations or determinations by findings or
Page 274 of 318
a report stating how the proposed use does not comply with the standards set forth in Section 30-654.
In staff's review of the standards for CUP as outlined, it appears that the request is consistent with all of these
required standards for approving the CUP application.

On behalf of Halle Properties, L.L.C., R.A. Smith, Inc. is pleased to present the attached
material for Discount Tire store in an outlot at the Elk Ridge Center development.
Discount Tire sells, installs and services tires and wheels as well as installing wiper blades.
Staff for the store are typically 4-6 sales/managerial and 8-12 technicians, with the busiest
shifts being on Friday and Saturday. As a benefit to the public, the store will provide
complimentary air checks for any driver who pulls in and requests the service.
Physically the proposed building will be 122’ in width by 60’ in depth for a total of 7,320 square
feet in size. The building will be constructed of stone veneer, faux wood trellis and split face
CMU with an anodized aluminum and glass storefront for a total height of 31’.The showroom
will face south and there will be three large overhead doors on the west elevation, facing the
center parking lot, behind which will be six service bays. A smaller overhead door at the
northwest corner of the building is the tire receiving door.
New tire storage is indoors via a racking system adjacent to the service bays and in a
mezzanine above the bays. Used tire storage is segregated in its own storage area and no
tires are stored outside. Generally new tires are delivered twice a week via a WB67 tractor
trailer, and used tires are removed twice a week by a local recycling contractor using a box
truck.
Proposed signage consists of two wall signs located on the glass storefront and a larger sign
above the service doors. A monument sign is also proposed at the southeast corner of the
property, adjacent to Holt Street NW. All signage is internally illuminated.
The site is designed to allow for the WB67 to navigate around the building to unload at the
receiving door. This also enables fire apparatus and other emergency vehicles to adequately
access the site. A trash enclosure constructed of the same material as the building is proposed
at the northwest corner of the site.
This location that Halle Properties has selected meets their internal site selection criteria and
will be complimentary to the adjacent uses within the center and the City of Elk River. With
limited business hours, open Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM and Saturday from 8 AM to
5 PM, and low traffic volumes it’s expected that the proposed store will not have a negative
impact on traffic.

Hi Jason,
We have discussed your request for additional time and determined that the City
Council must decide whether an extension may be granted to complete the conditions
of your Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
Your request will be placed on the work session agenda for the January 20, 2026, City
Council meeting. At that meeting, the Council will consider whether to grant additional
time, require you to reapply for an amended CUP, or proceed with a public hearing to
revoke the existing CUP.
If you would like to submit any materials or information for the Council’s consideration,
please provide them to me by January 12, 2026.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Chris,
XtraMile construction has pulled general building permits, Hannay Electric has
pulled the electrical permit as well. Unfortunately, we cannot do anything with the
electrical until spring as new power needs to be brought into the building. We have been
making progress. The bulk of the time taken was solely due to finding an architect to
provide drawings as requested by your department. I know you are fully aware of that
challenge and the inability for any firm wanting to take on that project. So, I respectfully
ask that you give us time to complete the items as we are at the mercy of the contractors
and when they're able to perform their work. If you have any questions on the timeline for
electrical Hannay Electric can be contacted at +1 (612) 325-2455 .
Thank you,
Jason Ryan

allowed by city code. Please have everything taken care of by January 9th, 2026, as we
have scheduled an agenda item for the January 20, 2026, City Council meeting to seek

Good afternoon Justin and Ryan,
Just following up on the final inspection needed to close out the building permit and the
complete the final approval of the CUP. If you could please call 763-635-1060 to schedule the
final inspection that would be great.
One item to note: code requires a couple of 10# fire extinguishers to be mounted on the wall
—typically one near the exit door and another in the area where it’s most likely to be needed
based on the work being performed.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Streetlight and Signal Light Utility
Reviewed by
Lori Stich

Jolene Richter
Action Requested
Discuss and provide staff direction.
Background/Discussion
During the 2026 city budget discussion, the City Council and the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission
each discussed the rate for the ERMU Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILOT). ERMU, by policy, annually pays a
PILOT of 4% of its Elk River-based revenue. ERMU also provides donated labor and covers the cost of
electricity for streetlights and signal lights. The street and signal light electricity costs are estimated to be
approximately $250,000 annually.
The ERMU Commission agreed to increase the PILOT to 5% and to bill the city for the cost of the lighting
electricity. ERMU would continue to own and maintain the lighting assets.
Because street and signal lighting, like city streets, benefit all properties within the community, state law
provides for a utility fee to pay those costs. Using the PILOT or general taxes moves the cost burden solely
to property taxpayers. Implementing a utility fee would continue funding the cost of street and signal lighting
by utility customers, with the added transparency of the actual fee identified on each utility bill.
Financial Impact
Implementing a streetlight and Signal Light Utility maintains the equitable impact of costs as previously
managed by Elk River Municipal Utilities.
Mission/Policy/Goal
Elk River Mission: Responsible for every dollar — good stewards.

Jolene Richter
Action Requested
Receive information and provide staff direction
Background/Discussion
On July 18, 2025, our lift station at TH169 failed, resulting in a sewage backup into eight homes along Yale
Street NW. The city took responsibility for the failure and communicated with the neighborhood and our
insurer, League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT).
Each of the affected homeowners has had their properties cleaned and repaired, submitted claims to LMCIT,
and signed a waiver of claims. One property owner had minimal damage and did not file a claim. Three
property owners had additional property insurance and, through their policies, received full replacement value
for the damaged areas. Four property owners without additional insurance had their repair claims reduced by
$989 to $13,255 to account for the depreciation of the current valuation of the replacement.
On August 4, 2025, the Council met with most of the homeowners or their representatives in Work Session
and indicated they would consider a level of reimbursement for depreciated assets.

Discuss BUILD Grant Opportunity - Main Street
Grade Separation with TH10 and BNSF Railroad
Reviewed by
Justin Femrite
Cal Portner
Jolene Richter
Action Requested
Discuss initiatives and long-term visions surrounding improvements to the intersection of Main Street, TH10,
and the BNSF Railroad.
Background/Discussion
In 2025, staff were approached by a BNSF representative to assess local interest in pursuing grant
opportunities to reduce at-grade railroad crossings in Elk River. This effort aligned with the timing and goals
of the Downtown Master Plan. As part of that review, the Main Street crossing emerged as a priority due to
the potential to grade-separate both the highway and the railroad. Based on eligibility and project scope, it
was determined that the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) grant was the most
appropriate potential funding opportunity to help support continued planning work.
Preliminary cost estimates have been prepared and are attached for reference. These estimates reflect the
required 20 percent local match should the grant be awarded. For the high-end cost scenario, the total local
match would be $1,453,133. The estimate includes up to 30 percent preliminary engineering, which would
position the project for future construction-phase grant applications. At this time, no city funds have been
committed to the project.
