Call to order. Chairman Dick Frie called the meeting to or er at 7:02 p.m.. 2. r A MOTION WAS MADE BY ROD DRA STEN TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING HELD AP 7, 1998. MOTION SECONDED BY RICHARD CARLSON. Motion passed unanimously. 3. Consideration of adding items to the a~enda One item was added to the agenda: Chairm Frie asked Mr. Fred Patch to provide an interpretation of City Code section [8-3] reI ting to required screening required between multiple family dwellings and single family ellings. The item was added as an update under item 16 below. 5. 4. Citizen comments. Hearing none, Chairm Frie continued with the agenda. This item was presented to the Commission by Fred Patch. Mr. Patch explained that this item was previously before the Planning Co . ssion on April 7, 1998. At that time the Planning Commission recommended appro al of the conditional use permit to allow open sales of swimming pools at 101 West Broa way. On April 13, 1998, the City Council reviewed the recommendation of the PIa . g Commission and moved that the application should be returned to the Planning Commis ion for further consideration. It was explained by Mr. Patch that the Cou cil determined that there appeared to be additional information in the application rei ting to on-site parking and drive aisles that C:\OFFICE\!P ATCH.97\PLANCOMM\OS-05-98.MIN Page ~ PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES- 05/05/98 . required further consideration by the Commi sion. In addition to the drive aisle concerns, the City Council mentioned the impact the 0 tdoor display may have on the intentions of the Downtown and Riverfront Revitalization Plan as adopted into the City of Monticello Comprehensive Plan. It was further explained by Mr. Patch that si ce the time this item was brought before the Council, Mr. Rolfe had proposed an entirely ew plan for outside display and sale of his swimming pool products on adjoining prope y currently owned by the City of Monticello HRA. In cooperation with the Monticello C mmunity Partners [MCP]; Mr. Rolfe and MCP would develop a public gathering spac on the front Yz of the lIRA property and a fenced swimming pool display area on the b ck l/2 of the property. Mr. Rolfe addressed the commission and st ted that the fence would fully enclose the pool display area and that the pools would n t contain water. Ms. Barb Esse spoke on behalf of the MCP d expressed that as designed, this proposal represents a superb win-win solution for the City, MCP, and Skipper's Pools. .

Staff report was presented by Steve Grittm n. Mr. Grittman explained that Darrel Farr Development Corporation has applied for aproval to develop single family plat of a 79 lot single family development to be known a 'Wildwood Ridge". This property has been known as the "Anderson" property, and is c rrently unincorporated but within the Monticello Orderly Annexation Area. The roperty consists of approximately 39 acres straddling County Road 118. The develop ent portion of the plat would occur on the southwest side of 118, with about three and one half acres northeast of 118 taken up by wetlands and storm ponding. Mr. Grittman explained the desire of both th natural resources of the "Monte Club Hill". special set of considerations for developme City and the Developer to preserve the . Grittman suggested the creation of a of the Monte Club Hill area. . Mr. Carlson questioned the increased densit of residential development in the lower areas ofthe proposed plat, asking if the increased density will provide a more tree preserving development up the hill. Chairman Frie opened the public hearing, re ognizing Ms. Cathy O'Connel of McCombs Frank Roos, Associates. Ms. O'Connel stat d that their design development goals were to preserve trees and to maintain a reasonab e return on the development for the developer. She presented a lengthy review fthe development process and indicated that the process led the development to a PUD t in response to preservation of the slopes and trees. The development is to establish 1.5 a res of park and trails within the plat. It is intended by the developer that those parks nd trails will be dedicated to the City. She noted that the house pad widths will be mai tained at a 50' minimum width with a minimum lot area of 12,000 square feet, cre ting a total of78 lots. Chairman Frie recognized Mr. Brent Nolbe, a resident of the Meadow Oaks Subdivision. Mr. Nolbe expressed concerns relating to d ainage from the proposed development. He was concerned that the drainage would hav adverse effects on the drainage way through Meadow Oaks. Mr. Jeff O'Neill addressed's concerns, assuring him that the storm water drainage system has been and will co tinue to be properly engineered to receive and outflow drainage of the new development. . Nolbe also was concerned about the proposed widening of Co. Rd. 118 and stat d that he is aware that the ROW will be widened by 8', Mr. Nolbe also was conce ed that he understood that only one of his neighbors had received notice of the public earing for this development. . Chairman Frie recognized Mr. Ralph Mack Mr. Mack was concerned with storm water C:\OFFICE\!P A TCH.97\PLANCOMM\OS-OS-98.MIN Page ~ . . . from the proposed development. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES- 05/05/98 Chairman Frie next recognized Mr. Scott So tek. Mr. Sontek was also concerned with storm water from the proposed development Hearing no other comments, Chairman Frie losed the public hearing. Commissioner Carlson expressed concerns r lating to the size of lower lots in the subdivision. He counted 30 lots that would e under 80' in width. He also questioned how the trail ways would be tied in to the d elopment. Commissioner Dragsten also questioned acc ss to park and trail systems and if the streets internal to the PUD would be public or priv te streets. He had concerns about the hammerhead/dead end street and maintenan e. Mr. Dragsten agreed with the need to reduce the width of streets to preserve trees and generally spoke to the positive aspects of the development. Jeff O'Neill stated that th engineering design details would be more worked out prior to the next meeting. Mr. ragsten questioned whether or not the City should consider modification of the Zoning ode to reflect the same development standards that are intended for this PUD. Chairman Frie questioned the value of the h mes to be built in the development. Ms. Lucinda Carter ofFarr Development st ted that the value of he homes built in the development would likely be between $140, 00 to $250,000. Chairman Frie also asked Mr. Grittman about the annexation procedu e. Grittman stated that this annexation is well defined by the procedures of the OM agre ment. Chairman Frie asked about the park dedication requirements for this developme t. Farr Development has committed to the dedication of park lands and trails to the Cit , not in lieu of park dedication fees that are to be assessed against the development. Ms. Lucinda Carter expressed the desire to reserve the natural resources of the area to be developed. She said that the building pads or each lot would be pre-built and subject to developer control in order to preserve the tees and slopes on the lots. Chairman Frie asked if we can do more wit this application than concept plan approval. Mr. Grittman stated that the application wa incomplete at the time of the last application deadline and would be on the next agenda r preliminary plat, concept stage PUD, and rezoning consideration. Commissioner Smith expressed appreciatio for the efforts ofFarr Development to preserve the natural resources of the devel pment site. MOTION BY ROBBIE SMITH TO TAB E ACTION ON THE PRELIMINARY PLAT, CONCEPT STAGE PUD, AND REZO G, PENDING CONSIDERATION OF C:\OFFICE\!P A TCH.97\PLANCOMMl05-05-98.MIN Page @ PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES- 05/05/98 . ADDITIONAL CONCEPTS PROPOSED Y THE DEVELOPER. Staff report was presented by Mr. Steve Gri tman. Mr. Grittman explained that Mr. Daryl Tindle is requesting approval of a simple sub ivision of property located at 1707 West Broadway. This parcel is adjacent to Hillcre t Park, and has a single family home facing West Broadway, a county highway. Lot req irements include a minimum of 12,000 square feet and 80 feet of width, with setbac s of30 feet front yard, 30 feet rear yard, and 10 feet side yard. MOTION SECONDED BY RICHARD C Motion passed unanimously. 7. . The parcel is encumbered by a power line e ement which restricts the ability to create buildable area. With an existing home and d tached garage on the parcel, any new side lot line is required to be located no closer than 0 feet to the current structures. The applicant estimated the locations of the exist ng structures on the Site Plan. Based on this drawing there should be adequate room to c nstruct a new home on the newly subdivided parcel without requiring setback variances. owever, this will need to be verified by certified land survey prior to recording of th subdivision or approval of any building permit. With regard to lot sizes, both lots will be si nificantly oversized compared to the R-1 requirements. Mr. Tindle illustrated a numb r of alternative land trades which involve remnants of parcels under the power line ea ement. He also indicated that the County has given verbal approval of driveway access 0 ofCSAH 75. Mr. Grittman suggested that the City Engineer should comment on the n ed for additional utility and drainage easements in this area. Since the lots were reviously platted in an alternative layout, easements were provided which would no 1 nger conform to the lot lines. A)1y additional drainage or utility issues should be reviewe to ensure that the revised subdivision plan will not affect, or be adversely affected by, t e existing patterns in the neighborhood. After much discussion regarding possible 0 tions, Fred Patch suggested to Mr. Tindle that he might consider dedicating the triangle of and immediately adjacent to the city park land to the City of Monticello. Mr. Tindle could take advantage oftax consequence and be credited for the value of the land to offset a sessment costs that would otherwise be attributable to the newly created lot Mr. T ndle agreed that option would be an acceptable solution in order to meet his nee s and those of the City. . MOTION BY CARLSON TO APPROVE HE SIMPLE SUBDIVISION CREATING C:\OFFICE\! P A TCH.97\PLANCOMM\05-05-98.MIN Page 5 (i) . . . PLANNING COMlvIISSION MINUTES- 05/05/98 THREE PARCELS TO INCLUDE TWO S GLE FAMILY LOTS AND ONE LOT TO BE DEDICATED AND GIFTED TO THE ITY TO BECOME PARKLAND, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS LISTE IN EXHIBIT Z AS FOLLOWS: 1. Written approval of access permit is recei ed by the City from Wright County. 2. A certified land survey is completed whic verifies lot dimensions and illustrates the ability to provide adequate setbacks and buildable reas per Zoning Ordinance requirements, without variance. 3. City Engineer approval of drainage and u ility patterns and easements in the area. 4. Area 3, as noted on the concept subdivisio plan, would be dedicated to the City of Monticello for park use. 8. MOTION SECONDED BY ROBBIE SMI Motion passed unanimously. 13 Staff report was presented by Steve Grittma . Mr. Grittman explained that United Methodist Church is requesting a rezoning 0 their parcel south of County Road 118 and north of the City water tower site from A-O Agriculture to P-S, Public and Semi-Public District. The subject site is currently outsid the City limits within the Orderly Annexation Area (OAA). As such, all action taken by t e City with regards to this application is conditioned upon annexation of the parcel i to the City, which may be processed at an administrative level. Unfortunately at the time of the Planning C mmission meeting, a site plan was unavailable. Mr. Grittman explained the sit development as best possible. Issues discussed were as follows: A. AI:mexation -- The subject site is wit' the established OAA. As a result, annexation of the parcel into the Cit should be a matter of administrative processing. All actions by the City ith regard to the rezoning and CUP applications will be conditioned upo approval of the annexation. B. Rezoning -- The purpose of the P-S istrict is to provide for the unique location and development characteristics of p blic or semi-public uses, including churches. The District recognizes that the thes uses may occupy only single parcels surrounded by different uses and est blishes performance standards intended to address compatibility and impact iss es of the institutional use. Therefore, the issue of spot zoning should not be c nsidered an issue. The 6.35 acre size of the subject site is sufficient to provide a equate site design that minimizes off-site impacts of the proposed use. C:\OFFICE\!P A TCH.9i\PLANCOMM\05-05-98.MJN Page 6 @ . . . PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES~ 05105/98 c. Conditional Use Permit -- Religious i stitutions, including churches are allowed as a conditional use within the P-S Dist ct, subject to the following: 1. Religious institutions on parc Is exceeding 20,000 square feet in area shall be located with direct frontag on, and access to, a collector or arterial street. 2. The buildings are setback fro adjoining residential districts a distance no less than double the adjoining residential setback. 3. Parking areas are developed t accommodate the most intense concurrent uses of the facility so as to mi 'mize overflow parking onto the public street. 4. Compliance with requirement of Section 22 of the Monticello Zoning Ordinance. Site Plan Review -- Building Elevations. Structures wit 'n the P-S District are limited to a maximum building height of 50 feet however, c urch spires or belfries are exempt. The applicant will be required to provide uilding elevations, which are subject to review and approval of the City Cou cil. Landscaping. The applicant has no provided a landscaping plan for the subject site as required by Section 3-2[G] of the Zoning Ordinance. Landscaping is an important consideration for this proj ct to prevent erosion of the significant slopes of the subject site. In developing a 1 ndscape plan, the applicant should consider the opportunity for a unique landsca e treatment to the slopes adjacent to the parking areas including retaining wal s/terraced gardens. Staff has also discussed the potential joint use of the sloped ea between the Church and City park system as a sledding hill. This concept shou d be considered by the Parks and Recreation Commission. The landscape plan wi I be subject to review and approval of the City Council. Parking. As noted above, the numb r of required parking stalls has been exceeded for the proposed use. Sec 'on 3-5[D]9 of the Zoning Ordinance outlines parking area design requirements. P rking stalls must be 9 feet wide and 20 feet deep. The proposed parking stalls c nforro to this requirement. Drive aisles must be 24 feet wide. The drive aisles on he site plan are approximately 22 feet wide. The applicant should verifY that the rive aisles are 24 feet wide or revise the site plan accordingly. Based upon the nu ber of proposed parking stalls, five stalls must be designated for disability acc ssible use, including at least one van accessible stall. Disabled accessible talls must be 9 feet wide with and adjacent 4 foot access strip and van accessible alls must be 8 feet wide with an adjacent 5 foot access aisle strip. The disability stalls may be so located to share an access strip. The site plan should be revise to indicate the location of required disability accessible stalls. D. C:\OFFICE\!P A TCH.97\PLANCOMMlOS-OS-98.MIN Page 7 @ . Section 3-5[D]9.k of the Zoning Or inance requires that all parking areas be surfaced bituminous or other materi to control dust. Also, Section 3-5[D]9.0 requires concrete curb around the pe . meter of all parking areas and islands. These improvements will be required to be nstalled. Grading, Drainage and Utility Pia s. The applicant has submitted a site grading plan. However, the plans do not inc de proposed erosion control measures. Given the significant slopes of the su ~ect site, an erosion control plan is critical. All grading, drainage and utility plan must be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Chairman Frie co ented that this is not a "spot zoning issue" as the parcel is adjacent to the PS - ublic/Serni-Public District across Co. Rd. 118 to the south. Chairman Frie opened he public hearing and recognized Mr. John Bogaart. Mr. Bogart stated that he as representing the church and made no further comment. Commissioner Dr gsten asked why the property was not zoned R-l. Mr. Grittman explained that th PS district is consistent with the use intended and that the parcel just to t e north is similarly zoned. MOTION BY ROD DRAGSTEN TO APP OVE THE REZONING BASED UPON A FINDING THAT THE PROPOSED USE I IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE OBJECTIVES OF THE COMPREHENSI PLAN, AND IS COMP ATffiLE WITH SURROUNDING LAND USES. MOTION SECONDED BY RICHARD C SON. . Motion passed unanimously. MOTION BY ROD DRAGS TEN TO APP OVE THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR UNITED METHODIST CHURCH B SED UPON A FINDING THAT THE PROPOSED USE WILL MEET, WITH PROPRIATE CHANGES, THE CONDITIONS AS DEFINED IN THE 20 G ORDINANCE AND AS DEFINED BELOW, INCLUDING ADEQUATE FIC ACCESS, ADEQUATE SETBACKS TO PROTECT ADJACENT PROPERTIE , ADEQUATE PARKING TO ACCOMMODATE THE PROPOSED US AND COMPATffiILITY WITH THE AREA AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BJECTIVES: 1. The applicant and the City, as the prope y owner, detennine the improvements to be constructed and responsibility for the cos s associated with the installation of a shared driveway, which satisfies the minimum d sign standards ofthe Zoning Ordinance, to be located on the City property along the Ie gth ofthe east property line ofthe subject site. 2. The applicant provide building elevation lans subject to review and approval of the City Council. 3. The applicant provide a landscape plan t at demonstrates unique treatments to the sloped areas adjacent to the parking areas, inc1 ding retaining walls/terraced gardens, as a means of controlling stonn water runoff and erosi . 4. All drive aisles be designed to a minimu width of 24 feet. C:\OFFICE\!P ATCH.97\PLANCOMM\05-05-98.MIN Page 8 (?) . . . PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES- 05/05/98 5. The site plan be revised to designate five ( ) disability accessible stalls, one of which must be van accessible. 6. All grading, drainage and utility plans be ubject to review and approval ofthe City Engineer. MOTION SECONDED BY RICHARD C SON. Motion passed unanimously. 9. Staff report was presented by Steve Grittm Star City Builders, Inc., submitted a plan requesting Concept Stage PUD approval for a 60 unit townhouse project between Elm and Minnesota Streets, along the 7th Street ignment. The property is zoned PZM, which allows residential PUDs by Condition Use Permit. This developer had submitted a first draft plan which the Planning Comrnis ion reviewed as a sketch plan at its April meeting. The developers have addressed the general I yout issues suggested by the staff report on the sketch plan. As a concept plan, the proj ct still lacks detail required for more complex review. There are, however, a few out stand ng issues which should be higWighted prior to Development Stage PUD review. The project will have to provide a buffer yar along the north boundary adjacent to the Ruff Auto property. From the aerial photo, t appears that just under half of the common boundary is utilized by Ruff Auto for its sal ge operation. The remainder is vacant land. According to the Zoning Ordinance, where developing parcel abuts another parcel which is less than 50% developed, based on linear ootage of common boundary, the new development is required to provide half oft e buffer yard on its side of the boundary. The other half will be required of the other prop y owner at the time of expansion or significant alteration. F or Residential to Industrial buffer yards, th requirements are as follows: Building Setback: 50 feet Landscaped Yard: 40 feet Plant units/100 ft.: 160 These latter two standards would be halved or this project, subject to a survey which establishes the length of the common bound , and the limits of use on the Ruff Auto side of the property line. A five foot high benn r opaque fence may be credited toward half of C:\OFFICE\lP A TCH.97\PLANCOMM\05-05-98.MIN Page 9 o . . . the number of plants required of this project PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES~ 05/05/98 Given the severe aesthetic issues which may impact the residential neighborhood, Mr. Grittman recommended a requirement for a 11 berm with plantings to help screen the view ofthe industrial use. The second issue raised by this project is th proposal for a private road, rather than a public street, serving the 60 units. The dev loper has altered the design from the sketch plan to provide a more grid-like street patte . The City should identify issues surrounding the consideration of a private s reet serving this number of units. Long term maintenance may be one concern, due to th cost of reconstruction of such an extensive private street plan. One method of addressi g this issue would be to require the homeowner's association to capitalize a rec nstruction fund to be available at the time that the useful life of the street would be expend d. Separate from the design issues of the plat a proposed will be the consideration for Park Dedication requirements for this area. The ark Commission has been working on a Comprehensive Park Plan which identifies t 's general area west of the downtown as a neighborhood park search area. For some t me, the City has been envisioning that such a neighborhood park might be made a part of he city-owned property at Outlot A of Country Club Manor. This area is directly est of this site along 7th Street. In addition, the Civic Center project will be located a fe blocks east of this site, although those recreational uses would be different in natur from traditional park and open space areas. The Park Commission should make a speci c recommendation as to the appropriateness of a land or cash dedication requirement fro this parcel. Land could serve the area, however, the dedication requirement for thi parcel would be just over one acre, whereas two acres is generally the lower threshold si e. Cash donation from this development could be applied to the City's reservation 0 land at the Country Club Manor site to either increase its proposed size, or fund some ne -term improvements. Finally, a pathway connection should be pI ed through this property. Options include a pathway along the boundary line with Ruff uto, a sidewalk through the internal street system, or a sidewalk/pathway along 7th St eet. For purposes oflinkage, the 7th Street option may be the most appropriate. Again the Park Commission should review this issue at its upcoming meeting. There remain a few design issues which sho ld be addressed at the Development Stage submission request. These involve the amo' nt of pavement shown for driveway access, particularly on the west side of the project. At point A on the site plan, the street is widened to provide additional frontage for 0 four-unit townhouse clusters. This results in a width of over 120 feet of uninterrupted pavement at one point, and creates a very short turning movement for the units which are not perpendicular to the street. It may be C:\OFFICE\!P A TCH.97\PLANCOMM\05.05-98.MIN @ . 1. 2. 3. . 4. 5. 6. 7. 10. . PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES. 05/05/98 possible to narrow the street width in the pr ~ect from the 40+ feet shown to 30 feet, or possibly even less. In addition, a landscape island in the triangular pavement area would break up the expanse. In the circular area, pint B on the site plan, the street is so wide as to allow unchannelled traffic around the circ e. Again, narrowing the pavement area would better channel traffic, and provide ne ded turning radius at the intersection. Chairman Fire opened the public hearing. R ceiving no public comments, Chairman Frie closed the public hearing. Jeff O'Neill clarified issues relating to on-sit ponding, park dedication and engineering review. Commissioner Carlson asked about timing i the development of the 7th Street project. MOTION BY CHAIRMAN DICK FRIE T APPROVE THE CONCEPT STAGE PUD, SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING COND nONS:. Provision of a bufferyard along the north boundary per Zoning Ordinance requirements. Submission of a survey documenting the ngth ofthe common boundary with Ruft' Auto and the limits of development on the Ruff Aut side of the line. Submission of proposed homeowner's ass ciation language which would ensure the proper maintenance and future reconstruction 0 the private street. Compliance with the recommendation of he Parks Commission regarding Park dedication land or cash. Alteration of the design to resolve drivew y and paving expanse issues raised in the staft' report. Alteration of the design to resolve street .dth and turning radius concerns as noted in the staff report. Other conditions recommended by City S aft'. MOTION SECONDED BY ROBBIE SMI H. Motion passed unanimously. R- Staff report was presented by Steve Grittm Mr. Michael Cyr of Front Porch Associates has requested PUD and Preliminary Plat ap roval for a seven unit townhouse project to be known as ''Elm Street Crossing". The proj ct is located at the intersection ofEIm and 5th Streets in a PZM Zoning District. This dist 'ct allows residential projects, including PUDs, by Conditional Use Permit. This pr 'ect was originally designed as now proposed, but was brought to the Planning Commissio as a larger project at the encouragement of City staff That larger project included som required land acquisition and City financial (i) C:\OFFICE\! P A TCH.97\PLANCOMM\05-05-98.MIN . PLANNING COM11ISSION MINUTES- 05/05/98 participation. Just prior to the Planning Co 'ssion's review in April, the lIRA decided not to provide the financial assistance. As a result, the developer is requesting both Concept Stage and Development Stage P approvals concurrently. However, it has now been discovered that a portion of the land which the developer intended to purchase was previously sold to an adjacent owner to supply needed minimum land area for other housing. That portion c nsists of a small rectangle of property behind unit 3 (see site plan). Therefore, the develo ment will not be able to provide access to most of the units, since the exception area i needed as a driveway. We have provided a revision to the plan which would accommo ate the seven units on the smaller amount of land. This plan squeezes the buildings together to create an additional driveway, both driveways to 5th Street being shown at 12 feet in widt as opposed to 20 feet. Units 4 and 5 would be 9 feet apart (6 feet at the eave line), inste d of the proposed 11 feet, and Unit 7 would be placed at the 10 foot setback instead of 11.3 feet as proposed. Finally, Units 1,2,3 and 7 would all be "side entry" garages, w . e units 4, 5 and 6 would be back entry garages. The arrows on the revised plan in icate garage door locations. One other option has been discussed. That ould be to acquire a driveway easement across the lot adjacent to Vine Street (Lot 6 of the original plat). The owner of this lot is the seller of the land to the developer and c uld possibly provide the easement as a part of the sale. One concern related to the easem t, however, would be that it would effectively limit the lot size applicable to the existing single family home. Moreover, it would have to be included in the PUD. T s would require renotification, since that parcel was not originally contemplated with this project. . With regard to density in the plat, the loss 0 the exception area puts the project right at eight units per acre. This is the maximum d nsity for mid-density development. While there is no stated density maximum for the ZM District (this district would accommodate R-3 type development), the density does in icate an intense use ofland in relation to the unit type. Of note in this project would be at there is very little green space to the rear of the units, relying instead on the "front po ch" and front yard spaces for open space. Many developments of this density compen ate for the lack of private green or open space by attaching more units together. Byelimi ting side yards, more open space can be combined in usable sizes. Due to the unit s Ie and the need to provide side windows, this is not possible for this project. To accomm date this unit design on the land as proposed, we would encourage an intensively landsca ed project, particularly in the rear yards which will be used primarily for automobile acces and parking. No landscape plan has been provided with this proposal, as commonly r quired for Development Stage PUDs. . A final issue involves park dedication requi ements. The City should decide on a park C:\OFFICE\!P A TCH.97\PLANCOMM\05-05-98.MIN Q . . . PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES- 05/05/98 dedication policy for development such as t "s which replat existing land to accommodate more dwelling units than originally planned. In this case, three additional units are shown beyond the original four lot plat area. On t e assumption that park planning was based on the four lot development, the three new unit would increase park demand, justifying an additional dedication requirement. It is likel that a fee in lieu of land would be appropriate. The Park Commission should eview this issue. Chairman Fire opened the public hearing an recognized Mr. Mike Cyr ofMLC Builders who discussed the development of his proje t. Chairman Frie asked staff about park dedications related to the project and ifther was a landscape plan. Commissioner Smith asked if there would be a cash payment in li u of park dedication. Jeff O'Neill stated that the project would be before the Parks Co "ssion on May 21, 1998 and that the final plat would be before the City Council on May 2 , 1998.

MOTION SECONDED BY RICHARD C 11. Rink. . Staff report was presented by Steve Grittm n. Russ and Paula Adamski have requested a Zoning Ordinance text amendment to allo outdoor go-cart tracks as a conditional use within the I-I, Light Industrial District. T s use is currently only allowed by CUP in the B-3, Highway Business District. The purp se of the request is to accommodate an expansion of the applicant's existing roller 'nk amusement area, located at the southeast comer of County Road 117 and Thomas P rk Drive (zoned I-I District), to include an outdoor go-cart track. As such, the applic ts are also requesting approval of a CUP for an outdoor go-cart track. However, any a tion on this request is contingent upon the City taking one of three alternative actions to al ow this use on the subject property. 1. Zoning Ordinance Amendment -- T e applicants are requesting an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance so that an ou door go-cart track can be developed on their property, which is currently zoned -1 District. The applicants have requested that outdoor go-cart tracks be made a c nditional use in the I-I District, subject to the same conditions as provided for thi use in the B-3 District. Amending the Ordinance to allow outdoor go-c s in the I-I District increases the opportunity to establish uses within the I-I Distric that are more commercial in nature than industrial. Therefore, the propose amendment may be considered inconsistent with the purpose of the I-I District and Comprehensive Plan. A second option to accommodate e applicant's request is to amend Section 15B- 4[D] of the Zoning Ordinance" usement places (such as roller rinks and dance halls) and bowling alleys" as a con itional use within the I-I District to include outdoor go-cart tracks. This optio however is problematic in that "amusement places" as currently defined relates to indoor type uses. Outdoor uses, including go-cart tracks, raise different com atibility issues such as screening, noise, lighting, etc. Combining indoor and outdo r recreational uses under the same conditional use may result in problems ensurin that compatibility issues of potential uses is adequately addressed. . C:\OFFICE\!P A TCH.97\PLANCOMM\05.05-98.MIN ~ . Finally, a third option to consider is rezoning of the applicant's property to B-3, Highway Business District. The Ian s to the west of County Road 117 are zoned B-3, therefore spot zoning would no be an issue with this action. While the B-3 District allows outdoor go-cart trac s as a conditional use, the applicant's existing roller rink is not a conditional or pe "tted use in the B-3 District. As such, an amendment to allow amusement are s as a separate conditional use in the B-3 District would be required. From at chnical standpoint this option is more appropriate given the commercial c aracter of the indoor/outdoor recreational uses. This option does, however, re ult in a loss of industrial zoned land. If the Planning Commission reco ends and the City Council acts favorably on the rezoning issue, consideration of he proposed development of a go-cart track on the applicant's property may occ r. Assuming that the Zoning Ordinance is amended to allow outdoor go-cart tacks as a conditional use in the I-I District or the subject site is rezoned to B-3 Di trict, approval of a CUP for an outdoor go cart track is subject to the followin conditions, as outlined in Section 13-4[N] of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. Conditional Use Permit - Outdoor o-Cart Track. c. The proposed use must mee all conditions of Chapter 3, Section 4[A]. The Conditional Use Permit will be reviewed yearly to determine whether or not it is compatible with eighboring properties and in conformance with conditions of the condition use. A solid six-foot high fence ust be part of the screening required when the adjacent properties are resi entia!. A. B. . The subject site is surrounded only y commercial and industrial zoned properties. However, to minimize the impacts fnoise from the go-cart track to any adjacent properties, and to screen the use fr m the public right of way a wood fence and landscaping should be provided. T e types and quantities of planting materials should be such that a dense plantin wall ultimately develops to further buffer the noise impacts of the go-cart track. D. For dust and noise (70dB a residential property line) must be controlled at all times to the satisfaction f the City. E. The provisions of Chapter 2 of this Ordinance are considered and satisfactorily met. . Parking. The existing parking lot is bitu 'nous surfaced and striped. However, submitted plans do not indicate the numbe of stalls within the parking lot. Staffhas estimated the capacity of the parking lot t be at least 70 stalls, based upon the minimum design standards within the Zoning Ordin ceo With the number of stalls to be provided, at least two must be designated disability ccessible with a 7 foot access strip in between C:\OFFICE\!P ATCH.97\PLANCOMMl05.05.98.MIN @) PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES~ 05/05/98 . for van accessability. . The Zoning Ordinance requires one space p r 40 square feet of building area for roller rink uses. Based upon this requirements an a building size of 11,700 square feet, a total of 294 parking stalls would be required for t e roller rink use alone. However, ITE data suggests that the actual parking demand for he roller rink, based upon building size is actually 46 stalls. As such, 24 stalls would emain for the go-cart track use. At least on an initial basis, this number appears approp ate. There is additional site area indicated on the site plan as a proposed mini-golf area th t could be developed as parking, if demand is found to exceed supply. A condition of app oval will be that the applicant must improve the existing parking lot to provide at least 7 parking stalls, two of which must be disability accessible. Mini-Golf Area. As noted above, the sub 'tted site plan indicates a proposed miniature golf area. Development of this use on the s bject site would require the applicant to request an CUP amendment. Whether the 'niature golf use would be allowed would be dependent upon conformance with Zoning rdinance provisions, particularly parking. Lighting. The submitted site plan does not indicate if any exterior lighting is proposed to be utilized to illuminate the go-cart track. he applicant should revise the site plan to specify the location of any and all exterior s te lighting. Additionally, the applicant must provide details regarding any proposed ligh fixtures, including photometric plans. All site lighting must be subject to review and appr val of the City Council. Chairman Frie opened the public hearing an recognized Mr. Mark Petty of Benchmark Properties. Mr. Petty expressed concerns r garding possible noise levels from the go cart activities proposed. He felt that the go cart activities would interfere with the industrial activities local to the go cart track. Mr. Steve Conroy, attorney for the prope y owners indicated that the owners are concerned with cost control and did not w t to install curb and gutter around the parking lot. He stated that striping of the parking c ld certainly be accommodated. Vince, the partner of Mr. Petty, benchmark properties reiterated the noise concerns. Chairman Fire asked about hours of operat on and about the seasonal nature of go cart operations. Mr. Conroy affirmed the seaso al aspect of the go cart business. He also stated that the fence intended to surround t e go cart track would be a 4' high chain link. Chairman Frie indicated that a solid fence ould be included as a condition of use. Commissioner Dragsten mentioned his con ems regarding loudspeakers, safety and compatibility with neighboring businesses. Chairman Frie closed the public hearing. . C:\OFFICE\!

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES. 05/05/98 Commissioner Dragsten felt that a 6 foot hi h privacy fence would be mandatory and felt that the I districts may not be best suited to 0 cart tracks. Chairman Frie expressed his concern for the nuisance aspects of a go cart track and felt that the issue of compatibility must be furth r researched. Fred Patch mentioned the unclear language elating to amusement uses in the Industrial District.

This plat was tabl d by the Planning Commission at the April meeting due to concern over the neighboring landowner's objection to the plat of a street along the common boundary. The City's att rney has reviewed the request and determined that the City can approve the pIa as presented, with a caution to the developer of River Mill that there is no guarantee that t e remainder of the street would be available in the future, or that the interior lots requirin access from that street could be platted and constructed. Mr Grittman referred the Planning Commiss' on to our report for the April 7 Planning Commission agenda, with the following cha ge to condition 2: 2. Proposed Preliminary Plat Lots 13-1 ,Block 2 shall be designated as Outlot B, River Mill 4th Addition, subject to fi al platting only at such time as the adjacent property to the east is platted to pro . de the remainder of any street right-of-way. The City does not guarantee any sue platting, nor does the City guarantee the development of any of Outlot B. . Chairman Frie opened the public hearing an recognized Bob Murphy, representing the developer. Mr. Murphy discussed concerns of the neighboring property owner regarding this subdivision as setting the course for fut re roads that may be developed onto his property. Mr. Murphy felt that the same co cern could be expressed by either property owner depending upon who is first to devel p. Mr. Murphy stated that he would prefer to not have conditions placed upon the develo ment that could preclude any possible development of Outlot "B". Mr. Murphy a .ked the Commission to remove the word "only" from the above stated paragraph nu ber 2, to have that paragraph read as follows: 2.

Motion passed unanimously. Staff report was presented by Steve Grittm n. The City's Comprehensive Plan includes land use planning for areas south and west fthe current City boundaries. As you may recall, a significant concept of the Compre ensive Plan is to direct future growth to the south and west of the City by investing in i frastructure improvements which would serve growth in that direction rather than to the ast. Over the past several months, staffhas conducted a more detailed study of the iss es which would affect land use patterns in that area, including transportation, utility com ors, physical lay of the land, existing land uses, and goals and policies from the current pI . A concept land use plan was developed with these issues in mind and has been discusse at staff level, with other City organizations, and at a public open house. . MOTION SECONDED BY RICHARD C 14. . The purpose of the plan amendment is to low the City to plan for both long- and short- term infrastructure improvements which w uld be needed to serve the area. Although the plan would have no legal effect as things n w stand, a component of the proposed Orderly Annexation Area agreement with Montice 0 Township would include the adoption of the C:\OFFICE\! P A TCH.97\PLANCOMM\05-05-98.MIN ~ PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES- 05/05/98 . City's land use plan in the revised OAA. As a result, the City's Comprehensive Plan and its component "SouthlWest Area Plan" wo ld form the basis for any land use decision in the OAA, preserving the various properties r the City's long-term intended use. This OAA agreement has been approved by both arties and adopted by the Municipal Board. The Land Use Plan for the area is important or the City. It could serve as the basis for the City's request ofthe OAA Board for an mendment to its land use plan. Even as information for that Board, and the Board's dministrator (County Planner Tom Salkowski), the Land Use Plan will provide mportant guidance for land use decisions in the extra-territorial areas adjacent to the Cit . Finally, it can provide direction for future development of land in those areas when Ian owners are seeking annexation. . This proposed amendment has been modifie slightly from its original draft to reflect two changes. First, following input from a new andowner near the intersection of County Road 39 and the proposed extension ofChe sea Road, and area of "future study" is shown which contemplates the expansion of the pr posed industrial area to the south of the utility easement. The text has also been modified 0 emphasize that this is a guide plan, not a zoning ordinance. As such, it is intended to illustrate a pattern ofland use and the necessary transportation routes, not specific district lines. It is expected that, as specific conditions are encountered by particular de elopers, the exact location of the lines will need to be flexible to accommodate conditi ns at the time. Chairman Frie questioned if the proposed i dustrial use areas are mostly wetlands. Mr. Grittman stated that there are wetlands in t e area, however the industrial areas are at this point only identified in a broad brush mann r. Mayor Bill Fair expressed a desire to maint in the language of the south and west area plan to be very general, not to be a "Zonin Code" for the area but rather expressing the city's preconceptions of uses in the area. Discussions ensued regarding the coordina . on of the South and West Development Area plan with the Orderly Annexation Agreeme t [OAA).. Commissioner wanted to insure that the ve biage of the plan was less specific. Chairman Frie opened the public hearing r cognizing Mr. Richard Long and Mr. Jim Bowers who were seeking for additional ea to be designated as open to possible industrial development south of the area c rrently so designated. Mr. long provided a handout to the Commission and thoroughl described his ideas for additional industrial land designation. Mr. Dan Gohman supported the proposals of Mr. Long. . C:\OFTICE\!P A TCH.97\PLANCOMM\05-05-98.MIN ~ . . . 15. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES- 05/05/98 Mr. John Chadwick also supported the prop sals of Mr. Long. Mr. Jim Bauer owner of areas marked in the handout with a cross hatched pattern felt that the plan as presented would pre-empt indust . al use with residential use and supported the expansion of additional industrial use to the outh and slightly east of the currently designated industrial area. Much additional discussion ensued.

Planning Connnission Agenda - 6/02/98 E BA Upon the annexation of the East Oaks Mead ws plat, the property must be rezoned to permit filing of the fmal plat. Upon annexati n, the City's ordinance requires that the property comes into the city with an agricult ral zoning designation. The Comprehensive Plan has anticipated that the properties in th' area, including East Oaks Meadows, would be zoned R -1, single family residential. Tha was the review standard used in evaluation of the plat prior to annexation. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1.

Motion to table action on the rezo . g subject to additional information. c. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. As noted above, the Comprehensive Plan calls for low density residential in this area, nd it is consistent with the surrounding land uses in the area. D. SUPPORTING DATA: None. Planning Commission Agenda - 6/02/98 . 6. Tom & Lisa Grossnickle have applied for a onditional use permit to allow the operation of a beauty and tanning salon in the PZM Di trict. This use is a permitted use in the B-1 and B-2 Districts. Those commercial uses e allowed in the PZM District by conditional use permit. The proposed use would occup an existing residential structure at the northeast corner of Broadway and Washingt n, across Broadway from the current High SchooV Administration building. . The Zoning Ordinance requires that such us s meet the performance standards for commercial uses and an additional require nt that the sale of any merchandise is retail only. With regard to performance standards, the primary impacts will be with relation to parking, building code improvements, and 1 ndscaping/screening from adjoining residential uses. While the bufferyard ordinance would require a substantial bufferyard, the PZM District states that there will no specific sta dards. Instead, the development of PZM sites are to be evaluated against the City's plan . g intent for the area, using zoning district standards as a guideline. The Zoning Ordinance would typically requ e approximately six parking spaces for a commercial building of this size. The appli ants have proposed seven, including one handicapped accessible space. The lot mus be paved, and curbing is required to surround the entire parking and driveway area. The pplicants have shown some curb on the plan. The project should be developed in confor nee with all paving, striping, and curbing requirements. The normal bufferyard requirements would require a relatively wide bufferyard between a commercial use and adjoining low density r sidential. However, this would not seem to be practical in the original plat area of sma lots and mixed uses. Instead, we would recommend a substantial fence and landsca ed screen along the boundaries of the site with adjoining residential property. This would elp to mitigate the conflicts of activity and lights associated with a commercial use w ch would be incompatible with most residential neighborhoods. . Finally, parking areas are required to be se back at least five feet from all property lines. The site plan which was submitted is not a survey. Verification of lot line locations should be provided to the Building Official prior t installation of the parking lot improvements. This inspection could be made a part of th building code compliance inspections which would typically be necessary for new co rcial development. Planning Commission Agenda - 6/02/98 . B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to approve the conditional us permit for a beauty and tanning salon in a PZM District, subject to the conditio s listed in Exhibit Z, based upon a finding that the proposed use would be com atible with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and the PZM Zoning District. 2. Motion to deny the conditional use p rmit, based upon a finding that the proposed use could not be made to be compati Ie with existing neighborhood land uses. 3. Motion to table action on the condit" nal use permit, subject to the submission of additional information. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: . Staff recommends approval of the CUP. W th the substantial traffic along Broadway, a lower intensity commercial service use wou be a reasonable use, particularly given the fact that the existing residential structure w uld be maintained. The entry into the community via Broadway has an important isual impact, and maintenance of the existing residential look is encouraged by the Comp ehensive Plan. In addition, the Comprehensive Plan encouraged retention f residential uses in this area. By avoiding conversion of the building stock to more co rcial character structures, it is more likely that existing residential uses will be comfor able remaining in place. With the improvement of Broadway as discussed in t e Comprehensive Plan and the MCP Downtown Revitalization Plan, keeping the existing residential building character will be an important key. D.

Conditions of Approval (,.,~ Planning Commission Agenda - 6/02/98 . 7. A r U.S. West Communications is requesting ap roval of a conditional use permit and variance which would allow them to place a 163-foot tall wireless communications tower within the required setback area of the Bon hus property along Broadway. The site is zoned industrial, and communications tower are permitted as accessory uses in this district subject to an administrative permit. owever, they must meet the zoning setbacks, which are 40 feet for both front and rear yar s. In this case, the rear yard would be adjacent to the Burlington Northern railroad line. The conditional use permit is required to co sider tower heights more than 10 feet above the maximum building height limits in the di trict. This proposed tower is significantly higher than the I-I building heights. U.S. est indicates that the tower, a monopole design, is needed in this area to provide ade uate coverage for its services. Except for the setback issue discussed below, the proposal omplies with the ordinance requirements. . Variances are to be considered only where conditions unique to the site in question cause a hardship in putting the property to reason ble use. In this case, the property in question is extremely shallow. In fact, the existing b ilding in the location of the proposed tower is just 22 feet from the road right-of-way line, and approximately 30 feet from the rear property line. It would possible to locate t tower on another portion of the site to meet setbacks; however, it would appear that this would interfere with some of the existing activity on the site. Moreover, this would r suIt in locating the tower closer to Broadway, an undesirable result. The proposed locatio may be the best site given the alternatives in the area. One issue which staff is still investigating is he flight path for the Hospital's helicopter. During the Hospital expansion planning, it as noted that the Broadway corridor was the preferred flight path for the helicopter. Sta will have information relating to this issue available to the Planning Commission at its pcoming meeting. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: Decision 1: Conditional use permit for a tower in excess of the district building height limits. 1. Motion to recommend approval of e conditional use permit, subject to the conditions listed in the Exhibit Z, b sed upon a finding that the proposed use complies with the requirements for uch facilities in the Zoning Ordinance. . 2. Motion to deny the conditional use errnit based on a finding that the tower is incompatible with the surrounding d uses. 4 . Planning Commission Agenda - 6/02/98 3. Motion to table action of the condit onal use permit subject to additional information. Decision 2: Variance from rear yard tback. 1. Motion to recommend approval of he rear yard setback variance for a wireless communication tower based upon a fmding that the property's unique shape justifies the variance. 2. Motion to recommend denial of the variance based upon a finding that the variance is not necessary to put the property to reasonable use. 3. Motion to table action on the varia ce subject to additional information. c. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff believes that relocating the tower to a other portion of the property to meet the setbacks would have a negative impact by oving the tower closer to the public right-of- way. We would recommend that the towe is placed as close to the rear lot line as possible since the rear line adjoins the railr ad and will have less impact in that location. Staff's recommendation for approval ofbo h the conditional use permit and the variance is contingent on the conditions listed in Exhib't Z. . D.

The project will also require a zon' g amendment, as well as a plat to divide the property from the Church site. Since the St Henry's project is being reviewed and possibly amended to best accommodate the street system in the area, a precise legal description is not available at this time. Th refore, the zoning amendment and plat will need to be considered at a future meeting. his report will discuss the zoning, however, as it relates to the development of this proje t. Land Use The site plan shows two 60-unit buildings, ne for "assisted living" and the other for "independent living." Subject to final site panning adjustments, the site consists of approximately 8.4 acres, a density of appro irnately 14.3 units per acre. This density will require an R-3 zoning district or an amend nt to the current zoning (P-S, Public, Semi- Public) to allow residential uses. The R-3 istrict would allow apartment style buildings with few restrictions. This option would the simplest process. Since the project will require a PUD, the City should have adequ te site development control to avoid any unintended consequences of a rezoning. Site Concept Plan The proposed project will be developed on a lot which will have no direct public street access. Therefore, the PUD will be require to accommodate the plat. Access to the project will occur over an access easement om the new 7th Street. The plan shows underground parking for the independent li ing building, 40 visitor spaces for the two buildings, and 16 staff spaces adjacent to t e assisted living structure. Due to the lack of surface parking planned, overflow will occ r adjacent to the driveways serving the project. We would recommend that a "proof of par ing" design be shown on the site plan to provide the ability to add parking if deman shows it is needed. With the PUD, internal setbacks are not cr' ical, however perimeter setbacks must still be adhered to. This project exceeds the R-3 s tback standards. Also at issue would be the bufferyard requirements. An institutional se and a high density residential use are required to provide a bufferyard with 40 p nt units per 100 feet. Under the PUD, this planting requirement could be modified, b the planting requirement should be incorporated somewhere in the project. T is will need to be shown on the landscape plan. On the east side of the site, the project adj ins an industrial area. The Zoning Ordinance 6 . Planning Commission Agenda - 6/02/98 assigns this a rating of "Significant" in ter of bufferyard requirements. A 30-foot wide landscaped buffer with 120 plant units per 1 0 feet is required. Since the property to the east is undeveloped, this project will only b required to install half of the bufferyard, with the remainder being required of the adjacent property at the time of its development. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: Decision 1: Rewning of the site to R-3, ultiple Family Residential 1. Motion to approve the rezoning bas d upon a fmding that the use would comply with the intent of the Land Use Plan 2. Motion to deny the rezoning based pon a fmding that the rezoning could be construed as a "spot zone", unrelate to adjoining land uses. 3. Motion to table action on the rezon' g subject to additional information. Decision 2: Concept Stage Planned Unit Development Motion to approve the concept stag PUD, subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit Z, based on a finding that th project is appropriately integrated with the Church of St. Henry project. 1. . 2. Motion to deny the concept stage P D based on a finding that the PUD is not necessary to develop the site as pro osed. 3. Motion of table action on the PUD ubject to additional information. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends tabling of the rezoning u til such time as the St. Henry's project is finalized and a legal description for the rez ning can be published. The concept PUD is acceptable subject to certain conditions. T. ose are listed in Exhibit Z. As noted above, the finalization of the Church of St. Henry roject will affect the location of lot lines, as well as actual density and driveway locatio s. If those changes are significant and negatively affect this project, the Develop nt Stage PUD may require additional or new conditions not apparent at the time of this view. D.

A Farr Development Company has applied for preliminary plat and a PUD to allow a 78- lot single family plat along County Road 118, southeast of the City's water tower site on Monte Club hill. The project includes steepl -sloped woods on one-third of the subject property. A single access from County Roa 118 would serve the site. The existing home on the property would remain adjacent to th access road, and future roadway extensions are provided to the west and to the south. Zoning and PUD . The use of PUD is permitted by the Zoning dinance to allow flexibility in zoning standards, subject to a requirement that the exibility results in a superior project not likely or possible under the standard zoning egulations. PUD is being proposed in this project to allow flexibility in lot sizes in retu n for a greater amount of tree preservation on the upland portions of the project. Over 75 feet of street frontage is consumed by outlots, which will remain in their natural co dition. This distance would typically provide street frontage for as many as 9 additional 1 ts. Instead, the developer is requesting flexibility on a number of lots. The typical R -1 standards require 80 feet of width and 12,000 square feet of area. Of the 78 lots, 43 fail to meet one or both of the R 1 standards: Complies wi all stds. Complies wi width only Complies wi area only Complies wi neither 35 lots 6 lots 19 lots* 18 lots * Four lots at the top of the hill are "flag 10 s" - narrow driveway access to a larger lot area. . This table illustrates that the developer has rirnarily attempted to make up for the lost street frontage by narrowing a number of t e other lots. Thirty-seven of the "substandard" lots are less than 80 feet in idth. To accommodate this width, the developer has suggested reducing the gara e-side setbacks from 10 feet to 5 feet. The lots proposed for this deviation are Lots 4, 5, and 6 of Block 2; and Lots 8, 9, 10, 11, and 13 of Block 4. One of the difficulties with arying standards in the same block is administration by City staff; another is late requests by neighbors to construct additions to standards in the neighborhood. Keeping these details straight can be difficult for staff specialists, let alone for other staff fielding uestions from the public. A consistent set of regulations should apply, or a method of nitoring varying setbacks should be established. 8 Planning Commission Agenda - 6/02/98 . The project includes a series of outlots whic would be preserved in their natural state. Outlot A (3.62 acres) is a wetland and stor ater control area. Outlot B (3.30 acres) includes much of the wooded hillside. Staff ecommends a natural trail through this area - it would be unpaved and meander along the lope to the upper hill area. Outlots C and D (.43 and .39 acres, respectively) provide spe ial tree preservation sites on the upper hill. The developer proposes to dedicate these 10 s to the City, over and above the normal park land dedication requirements. From Outlot ,an easement across the rear lot line of Lots 1 and 2 of Block 6 would provide acce s from this development to the water tower site and City park land. The plat has been designed with 52-foot wid rights-of-way with 32-foot wide streets. Staff has suggested that the hillside street," ildwood Way," be platted at 60 feet but with reduced front setbacks. The purpose in this roposal is to retain public right-of-way in the area where the street curves back and forth p the hill. Allowing the lesser front setback will accommodate the interest in reducing g ading in the rear yards, saving more of the trees and the native slopes. The developer as indicated that these lots will be graded by the developer to avoid builders overgrading he site and costing additional trees. . In the lower area of the project, staff has in icated that the 52-foot right-of-way would be acceptable, subject to a requirement that the intersections be platted with a radius to accommodate street signs and other necess y improvements. The Public Works Director can provide direction on the size of the radi s necessary. The developer has also proposed four "flag ots" at the end of the upper cul-de-sac. These lots would have full-sized buildable areas a meet all setbacks. However, the driveways would be located in narrow necks, increasin the number of curb cuts on the cul-de-sac. This issue has led to staff's recommendatio that a homeowner's association be responsible for snow removal in this area. he seven driveways on the end of the cul-de- sac eliminate any area for snow storage, an there will likely need to be regular removal of plowed snow from the cul-de-sac area. T s would also be the case for the modified turn- around space at the north end of Marquette Drive. The hillside prevents the construction of a full cul-de-sac without a large retaining wall and significant grading. The City's snow removal equipment is not suited for clearin areas of this design. Decision 1: Consideration of Rewnin of Wildwood Ridge to R-l, Single Family Residential. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to approve the rezoning to -1, Single Family Residential, based upon a finding that the rezoning would be consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. . 2. Motion to deny the rezoning based n a concern that development in the area will not comply fully with the R-l stand ds. 9 Planning Commission Agenda - 6/02/98 . 3. Motion to table action on the rezo ' g, subject to additional information. Decision Two: Consideration of a Devel pment Stage Planned Unit Development. 1. Motion to approve the development stage PUD, subject to the conditions listed in the attached Exhibit Z, based upon fmding that the project would meet the intent of the City's PUD zoning requireme ts. 2. Motion to deny the development sta e PUD, based on a finding that the R-l standards should apply, and that the ordinance intent for PUD is not met with this project. 3. Motion to table the PUD, subject to additional information. Decision Three: Consideration of a Preli inary Plat for Wildwood Ridge. 1. Motion to approve the preliminary lat, subject to the conditions listed in the attached Exhibit Z. 2. Motion to deny the preliminary plat. . 3. Motion to table the preliminary plat ubject to additional information. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff believes the intent of the Planned Unit Development ordinance is met with this proposal, subject to some conditions. The eveloper's initial concept plan illustrated a standard subdivision plan which would hav cost a significantly increased number of trees and required much more grading to accomp . sh. The Monte Club hill area is a unique resource which can provide significant pub c benefit if properly developed and preserved. It would be necessary to eliminate eight or ine lots from the plat as now designed to both save the same number of trees and meet all -1 standards. Since this design includes several hundred feet of "unproductive" stre t construction, staff believes that the PUD is appropriate. The variation in side setbacks s the greater cause for concern. It would seem to be difficult to manage the differenc s, either at the time of original building or in subsequent years once the neighborhood tures. Except for this issue, staff recommends approval of the rezoning, PUD, and pre' . ary plat, subject to the conditions found in Exhibit Z. D. SUPPORTING DATA: .

Q,4 E hibit Z - Conditions of Approval . 10. . . Planning Conurussion Agenda - 6/02/98 in Ii Development. (NAC) A R Gold Nugget has applied for consideration f a residential Planned Unit Development on land it owns south of the Kjellberg East Mo ile Home park. The site consists of approximately 220 acres between the Mob' Home park and 85th Street NE, east of Trunk Highway 25 and west of County Ro 117. The northeast corner of the site adjoins the southwest corner of the Klein F ms single family subdivision. 85th St NE is the south boundary of the Orderly AnnexatiJ n Area. The project would consist of a combination of approximately 339 single family homes, 176 townhomes, 20 twin homes and 40 "de ached townhomes", a total of 577 units. The developer has reserved 5.5 acres in the sout west corner ofthe project for commercial use--a separate zoning action would be nee ssary to approve any commercial land. The project would be developed in phases along a minor collector street extending from County Road 117 on the east to the south st corner of the project at 85th Street NE. Procedurally, the City should consider the UD concept, making comments and requirements for the developer's further pI . g. Following the concept plan, the developer will need to apply for a prelimin y plat, a rezoning of the fIrst phase, and a development stage PUD. Although the ent e project will be covered by the PUD, it is expected that the City will zone specifIcally by land use. Therefore, the single family areas will likely be zoned R-I, the townhome an twin home areas will be R-2, and a commercial zoning designation will be give to the two commercial lots if approved. The annexation of the first phase would occur ith the approval of the fInal plat and fInal PUD. The review of the concept stage PUD is fo the purpose of identifying issues in the design which would raise concern for the City. A PUD project is assumed to be a departure from the zoning standards, but with a superior d sign and development not likely through the strict application of those standards. Ther fore, the ultimate fInding which the City must make is that the project design meets the i tent of the PUD ordinance. This report discusses the variation from strict zoning s andards which the developer proposes and how those variations may be viewed in a PUD context. In summary, the City's action should be a general comment on the acceptability f PUD and, if positive, direction on each of the individual variations proposed. Land Use and Density The Comprehensive Plan calls for this area to be developed as low density residential. The overall project density is approximately 2. units per gross acre, about 3.8 units per net acre (exclusive ofroads and parks). This ensity would qualify for the City's application of low density residential. The net density of the single family area is 3.05 units per acre, 1 Planning Commission Agenda - 6/02/98 . corresponding to an average lot size of app oximately 14,263 square feet. As an average, this would meet the minimum R-l standard ot size of 12,000 square feet. The developer is asking for the PUD in order to vary the . dividuallot sizes to include a series of about 43 scattered lots which would be both narr wer in width and smaller in area than the R-l standards, whereas others would be signific ntly larger. The majority of the "substandard" lots are rogrammed for the periphery of the project, particularly adjacent to TH 25 and the mob' e home park boundary. Some of these lots would be deeper to allow greater buffering om the adjacent use. Scattering these lots throughout the neighborhood is designed t avoid a concentration of small lots and homes (and presumably lesser valued homes) in on area. The developer proposes a standard for the smaller lots of 10,000 square feet and 6 feet in width. In conjunction with the lot size adjustments the developer is proposing to use a smaller side setback standard in that area. A reduc ion in the side yard setback to 5 feet on the garage side of the home is proposed to allo greater buildable area. Throughout the project, the developer is proposing a varyin front setback to create additional interest along the street. Instead of the standard 30 feet, a range of 20- to 40- foot setbacks has been proposed. At the preliminary plat sta e, the developer proposes to illustrate how this standard would be applied to the individual lots. . With regard to the townhomes and other u it types, they range in density from just under 4 units per acre to around 6.5 units per acr . This density would be considered medium density as a free-standing development. T e developer's proposal is to average the density throughout the project to maintain density of less than four units per acre. The commercial areas at the southwest cor er of the project represent a departure from the residential pattern for the area. The de eloper has discussed a neighborhood oriented commercial use, such as a convenience stoe/gas station or other similar land use. As a "support" land use, the proposal could be onstrued to be acceptable under the concepts discussed in the Comprehensive Plan. Too much commercial at this corner, however, or commercial uses which are more regional' scope, would appear to compromise the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The PI ning Commission should discuss the benefits of commercial use at this corner and give s me reaction to the developer and to staff. Project Design and Parks/Pathways . The project concept utilizes a "linear park' design concept throughout the subdivision. The park would connect to the trail corrid r at the northeast corner of the plat and wind through the project as shown on the attac d exhibit. The park dedication equals ten percent of the land area and is proposed to meet the full requirement of the Subdivision Ordinance. The park area varies from a 10 -foot wide corridor along the north boundary to more than 300 feet in width at Street A the collector street) back to around 100 feet in width at the termination near the westerly ownhome area. 12 . Planning Conunission Agenda - 6/02/98 There are three comments regarding the p k and pathway design which the Parks Conunission and staff have made in review f the project. The Parks Commission was concerned about the "remoteness" of the b lk of the park area. They encouraged a greater exposure of the park land to the str et, particularly at the crossing of Street A. They did note that the width of the park he e mitigated this concern somewhat. However, they preferred to have broad park exposure on at least two streets, in addition to the pathway connections as shown. The second comment relates to the western terminus of the park. Since this area "dead ends" at the townhorne project, we would e courage a larger focus for park use on this end. Converting the four to six lots adjace t to the end of the linear park as shown on the park exhibit would create a small "green" hich could serve as the primary active open space for the western portion of the plat. T is area would comprise around two acres which could be used both for neighborhood park use and an important focus for the linear park system as a whole. The third comment regards pathway conne tion to the north. Staff debated the concept of providing street access to the north along 25 as a frontage road connection past Kjellberg East. This concept is not shown n the proposed plan, but it should be replaced with a pathway connection to the northwes as shown on the parks exhibit. The park system as proposed would includ a pathway, potentially lighted, throughout the development. The wider area near the cros ing of Street A would accommodate an informal playfield, and several locations in t e system could accommodate smaller play structures. The townhome projects should onsider inclusion of private recreational amenities to mitigate impacts on the public acilities in the project. At a build-out population of around 1,300 persons, the pr ject will place significant demands on public recreation facilities in the area. For the sou hem townhorne project, a public pathway connection through to the cul-de-sac from t e main park should also be included. . Streets, Utilities, Sidewalks The majority of the streets in the project w uld be local streets, with 60-foot rights-of-way and either 30- or 32-foot street widths. Th specifics would be identified at preliminary plat stage; however, we have included a str et exhibit with planning staff's understanding of the application of the City's policy on str et widths to this project. The minor collector would require 70 feet of right-of-way and ould be constructed at least 36 feet in width. The City Engineer should comment on the treet widths as well. The developer is proposing the pathway co nections in the park in lieu of sidewalks which would otherwise be required on most street . The exception would be a reconunendation for a sidewalk along the minor collector to ccommodate pedestrian or bicycle traffic along the busier route. This should be Ioca ed on the north/west side of Street A to give easiest access to the townhomes along the est boundary and connection to the pathway leading to the School complex. . 13 Planning Commission Agenda - 6/02/98 . A series of small ponds are scattered throug out the development. Engineering staff will have to review the drainage plan to ensure p oper stormwater control. At this time, it is the City's understanding that there are no w tlands on the site. The linear park follows a drainage swale for much of the east half of t e project. Staff has also discussed the requirement for ntrance monumentation to the project to add identity to this large neighborhood. There e three main entrances to the project: One from TH 25 (to be confirmed by MnDOT), ne from 85th Street NE, and one from County Road 117. Three other minor entra ce roads also serve the project. As an additional note, the City will need to work ith the Township on improvements and maintenance of 85th Street. With regard to utilities, the City Engineer sh uld review the utility planning and advise the developer as to infrastructure improvements necessary for the project. Staff has discussed a phasing plan which would encourage deve opment from the northeast corner to the northwest corner first in order to provide w ter main looping as quickly as possible. The next priority would be to provide additional ccess to the project from the external street system B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: . Decision 1: Concept Stage Planned Un t Development I. Motion to approve the concept stag Planned Unit Development for Gold Nugget Development subject to the conditio s listed in Exhibit Z. This motion should be supported by a finding that with the onditions, the project would meet the intent ofthe City's Zoning Ordinance and UD regulations by providing for a project which is superior in quality and desi n than would be otherwise developed under the strict application of the City's zo . g standards. 2. Motion to deny the concept stage P D based upon a fmding that the project would not meet the intent of the Cit 's Zoning Ordinance and should be redesigned to comply with the strict standards of the R-l Zoning District. 3. Motion to table action on the conce t stage PUD subject to the submission of additional information. c. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: . Staff recommends alternative #1, approval ith conditions. As noted in the report, the intent of PUD is to require a superior proje t in trade for flexibility in standards. Staff believes that the flexibility proposed with th s project will result in a superior project. Clearly, the land could be developed accord' g to pure R-) and R-2 regulations. However, the intermixing of diverse housin styles should add variety to the streetscape, particularly when coupled with the variatio in front setbacks. 14 . Planning Commission Agenda - 6/02/98 The reduced lot width on a portion of the I ts would be a component of this concept. However, the developer has also asked for reduced side setback (five feet on the garage side) to accommodate the narrower lots. 's varying standard could be a problem for staff to manage, particularly given that calls will come in to city hall requesting setback information without a thorough description of the location, or a requirement that individual plats be checked for different sta dards. The City will need to develop a process for dealing with the problem that v ied setback standards will create. The development of the linear park system rovides convenient park access to the entire project but does not chop the system into a series of separate small tot lots. This design aids in park maintenance by minimizing the mount of equipment loading for the same amount of maintenance area. With the reco nded conditions attached in the exhibit, we believe the project complies with the P D intent. With regard to the commercial land, staff lieves that a very limited amount of commercial may be appropriate given the s' e of the project and the proximity of other convenience neighborhood services. The n ture and extent of this use should be heavily managed, however, to avoid conflicting wit the land use plan and competing inappropriately with the more intensive co rcial areas of the community.

Planning Commission Agenda - 6/02/98 A The Parks Commission has been working on the development of a Comprehensive Parks and Pathways Plan over the winter. A copy f the draft plan is included under separate cover. This plan is designed to provide a co prehensive inventory of community parks and recreation facilities, establishes policies nd strategies for the location and siting of new park facilities, and identifies a park syst m within which all park facilities, existing and new, will be coordinated. By establishing policies for new park locatio , both the City and developers will have a clearer idea of when land or cash park dedic tion requirements will be imposed. This should help the City better coordinate its rec eation system and should help developers streamline their planning process. In additio , the Plan makes the case for a new park dedication fee structure. That issue is addre sed in a companion proposal with an amendment to the City's Subdivision Ordina ceo B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: Motion to recommend approval of t e amendment to the Comprehensive Plan based upon a finding that the amend nt will provide greater consistency in the planning process for the provision 0 park, pathway, and other recreation facilities in the community. 1. 2. Motion to deny the amendment. 3. Motion to table action on the amend nt subject to additional information. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the amend nt. This Plan. as noted above. should help streamline the development process as the c mmunity grows into the Orderly Annexation Area, and also lays the groundwork for con inuing investments in the City's open space resources. D. SUPPORTING DATA: None. 16 . 12. . . Planning Commission Agenda - 6/2/98 A This item was before the Conunission on M 5, 1998, and was tabled pending further review by staff. That review has been comp ted and it is believed that the ordinance hereby proposed is compatible with the ord' ances of the City, The City of Monticello has been regulating and issuing licenses for outd or sales and display without the substance of an ordinance for many years. This proposed ordinance would give the City a legal basis for such regulation, Transient Merchant bu inesses are currently regulated by other ordinances also needing future amendment City Council. Outdoor sales are divided into three classes: .. Temporary outdoor sales and disp ays are sales and displays conducted by the operators of a legitimate established usiness, such as sidewalk sales and the like. Such temporary sales and displays w uld be allowed for up to 60 consecutive days by the issuance of two consecutive 3 -day licenses. .. Seasonal outdoor sales/displays ar sales and displays conducted by the operators of a legitimate established usiness, such as such as garden center sales, and the like. Such seasonal sales an displays would be allowed for up to 120 consecutive days by the issuance of wo consecutive 60-day licenses. .. Transient Merchants/Itinerant ou door sales and displays are sales and displays conducted by persons other than the operators of a legitimate established business, such as artwork, flowers, f m produce sales, Christmas tree sales, and the like, and engaged in a temporary business (five days or less per month according to the defmition provided by ordinance.)

(04/13/81, #97) I~ .-.~ MONTICELLO CITY ORDINANCE TITLE III/Chpt 10/Page 6 Planning Commission Agenda - 6/02/98 . 13. The Comprehensive Parks and Pathways PI includes an implementation recommendation for the collection of fees in lieu of dedication of park land. Rather than base the amount of the fee on the appraised and value, the fee should be collected based upon the number of housing units to be dev loped in a subdivision. This would bring the fee into compliance with recent Court decisi ns which require that park dedications be proportionate to the amount of demand on t e park system which is generated by the development in question. The value of the I d is unrelated (generally) to that proportion. In recent surveys of other area communities park fees are ranging from $500 per unit to well over $1,000 per unit. The actual amou t should be based on the projected cost of building the system and, again, the develop nt's proportion of the demand. We have calculated a projected fee of $750 per unit ased on generalized estimates of park acquisition and construction and an estimat that approximately 75% of future park construction will be attributable to new dev lopment. This figure may be somewhat conservative. However, it should provide a reasonable starting point for the change in policy. . As noted in the attached ordinance, the act al fee would be set by resolution. Therefore, it is expected to be monitored and updated ver time. The proposed ordinance eliminates language in the current code regarding the eed for appraisals of land value as a prerequisite to establishing the appropriate ee. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to recommend approval of he amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance based upon a fmding that it more c sely reflects the expected costs of park construction. 2. Motion to recommend denial of th amendment. 3. Motion to table action on the amen ment subject to additional information. C. ST AFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Ordina ceo As noted, the Parks Plan establishes the groundwork for this change, which is mor consistent with the legal requirements for park dedication. . D. SUPPORTING DATA: Exhibit A - Proposed Ordinance Amend nt 18 ORDINANCE AME DMENT NO. . City of Mo ticello Wright County, Minnesota AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 11, CH PTER 6, SECTION 1, OF THE MONTICELLO SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE ELATING TO PARK DEDICATION FEES IN LIEU OF LAND. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MO TICELLO, MINNESOTA HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: 1 Chapter 6, Section 1 is amended to read as follows 11-6-1: DEDICATION REQUIREMENT: . [A] Pursuant to Minn. Stat. &462.358 Subel. 2, he City Council of Monticello shall require all subdividers requesting platting or replatting of land in the City of Monticello to contribute an amount of land which is generally ten pe cent (10%) of the gross plat area. Said contribution shall be dedicated for use as ei her parks, playgrounds, public open space, or linear park and pathway systems. In the alt rnative, the City shall have the option of accepting cash in lieu of land dedication, or a combination thereof. The amount of cash contribution shall be established by City Co ncll resolution. The amount of land or cash contribution shall be reviewed and amende from time to time, based upon the City's reasonable estimate of the cost of park dev lopment and the subdivider's contribution to proportionate demand on the City's park s stem In the event a subdivider believes that his or her proportionate contribution to sys em demand should be set at a figure other than that determined by said resolution or this dinance, the City may conduct a specific study to determine the proper proportion in acco dance with the City's approved park plans. The cost of any such special study conduc ed at the subdivider's request shall be borne by the subdivider. [B] Park dedication credit shall not include we land or ponding area necessary for the drainage plan of the subdivision or other public uses Land to be dedicated shall be usable for normal park purposes as determined by th Parks Commission, and shall exclude slopes of more than twelve percent (12%) unless sp cificallyapproved. s [C] Land dedicated for park purposes shall be ransferred to the City by warranty deed.

At the previous meeting of the City Council, the City Council reviewed the Planning Commission's recorrunendation for denial 0 the zoning text amendment necessary to allow a go-cart to operate at the Monticello Roller Rink. Along with the information provided by the staff and Planning Commiss on, the Council received a request from the applicant that the Planning Commission rev' w additional information regarding site operation that was not available to the Plan ' g Commission at the time of the original deliberation. City Council responded to the applicant's request by sending the item back to the Planning Commission for additional r view and consideration. . As you recall, one of the main reasons why he Planning Commission recommended denial of the request was the testimony from an a 'acent property owner regarding the concern over noise produced by the operation of th go-carts. In response to this testimony, the applicant organized a demonstration of the peration of the facility, which was conducted on May 28, 1998. In attendance at the de onstration were Steve Grittman, Wanda Kraemer, and Dick Frie. In reviewing the emonstration, Steve Grittman reported that the sound generated by the go-carts is consider bly less than the sound generated by the nearby freeway. He also noted that when t e sound of the go-cart was obstructed by a car or a fence that it almost became inaudible a a distance of 200 ft. Even without the obstruction, the go-cart sound was almost' audible. Planning Commission is asked to review t s additional information and other testimony that may be provided by the applicant and onsider making a different finding on this matter. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: Decision 1: Amendment to allow out oor go-cart track use on subject site: 1. Motion to approve an amendment 0 the Zoning Ordinance to make outdoor go- cart tracks a conditional use within the 1-1, light industrial, district, subject to the same conditions as outlined for thi use in the B-3 District, based upon a fmding that the use is consistent with the urpose of the 1-1 district and Comprehensive Plan objectives. 2. Motion to approve an amendment 0 the Zoning Ordinance to include outdoor go- cart track uses within the scope of "amusement places" based upon a finding that the use is of similar character to th t of other uses so defmed and that the amendment is consistent with the bjectives of the Comprehensive Plan. . Planning Commission Agenda - 6/2/98 . 3. Motion to approve the rezoning oft subject site from 1-1, light industrial, to B-3, highway commercial, based upo a finding that the existing and proposed use of the subject is commercial in natur and that the amendment is consistent with Comprehensive Plan objectives; and, Motion to approve an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance making "amusement places (i.e., roller rinks and dance h s) and bowling alleys" a conditional use in the B-3 district based upon a finding hat said uses are commercial in nature and are consistent with the purpose of th B-3 district and Comprehensive Plan objectives. 4. Motion to deny applicant's request b sed upon a finding that none of the proposed actions are consistent with the objec ives of the Comprehensive Plan. Decision 2: Conditional use permit for o-cart track in subject site: 1. Motion to approve a conditional use permit to allow an outdoor go-cart track in the 1-1 district based upon a finding hat the proposed use has met or will meet, with appropriate changes, the condit ons as defined in the Zoning Ordinance, including adequate screening to prot ct adjacent properties and adequate parking to accommodate the proposed use a d compatibility with the area and Comprehensive Plan objectives. . 2. Motion to approve a conditional use permit to allow an outdoor go-cart track in the B-3 district based upon a fmding that the proposed use has met or will meet, with appropriate changes, the condi ions as defined in the Zoning Ordinance, including adequate screening to proect adjacent properties and adequate parking to accommodate the proposed use d compatibility with the area and Comprehensive Plan objectives. 3. Motion to deny a conditional use pe mit to allow for a outdoor go-cart track on the subject site based upon a fmdin that the proposed use cannot meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordina e or objectives of Comprehensive Plan. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommendation remains the same as t was with the previous agenda item. D. SUPPORTING DATA: Previous agenda item . 2 . . . 11. COP~ Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 B.i.nk.. (N AC) Russ and Paula Adamski have requested Zoning Ordinance text amendment to allow outdoor go-cart tracks as a conditional use 'thin the I-I, Light Industrial District. This use is currently only allowed by CUP in the B-3, ighway Business District. The purpose of the request is to accommodate an expansion 0 the applicant's existing roller rink amusement area, located at the southeast comer of Coon y Road 117 and Thomas Park Drive (zoned 1-1 District), to include an outdoor go-cart tra k, As such, the applicants are also requesting approval of a CUP for an outdoor go-cart track. However, any action on this request is contingent upon the City taking one of t ee alternative actions to allow this use on the subject property, 1. Zoning Ordinance Amendment The applicants are requesting an a ndment to the Zoning Ordinance so that an outdoor go-cart track can be devel ped on their property, which is currently zoned 1-1 District. The applicants have r quested that outdoor go-cart tracks be made a conditional use in the 1-1 District, su ~ect to the same conditions as provided for this use in the B-3 District. Amending th Ordinance to allow outdoor go-carts in the 1-1 District increases the opportunity t establish uses within the 1-1 District that are more commercial in nature than indu trial. Therefore, the proposed amendment may be considered inconsistent with the purpose of the 1-1 District and Comprehensive Plan. A second option to accommodate t e applicant's request is to amend Section 15B- 4[D] of the Zoning Ordinance" usement places (such as roller rinks and dance halls) and bowling alleys" as a co ditional use within the 1-1 District to include outdoor go-cart tracks. This opti n however is problematic in that "amusement places" as currently defined relates t indoor type uses, Outdoor uses, including go- cart tracks, raise different compatib' 'ty issues such as screening, noise, lighting, etc. Combining indoor and outdoor recre tional uses under the same conditional use may result in problems ensuring that co atibility issues of potential uses is adequately addressed. . Finally, a third option to consider' a rezoning of the applicant's property to B-3, Highway Business District. The Ian s to the west of County Road 117 are zoned B- 3, therefore spot zoning would not an issue with this action. While the B-3 District C :\SANDY\WORD\AGENDA\GO-CART.PC 18 Itf-I . . . Planning Conunission Agenda -5/05/98 allows outdoor go-cart tracks as a con itional use, the applicant's existing roller rink is not a conditional or permitted use the B-3 District. As such, an amendment to allow amusement areas as a separat conditional use in the B-3 District would be required. From a technical standpo t this option is more appropriate given the commercial character of the indoor utdoor recreational uses. This option does, however, result in a loss of industrial zoned land. 2. Conditional Use Permit - Outdoor G -Cart Track. If the Planning Commission reco nds and the City Council acts favorably on the rezoning issue, consideration of the p oposed development of a go-cart track on the applicant's property may occur. Ass . g that the Zoning Ordinance is amended to allow outdoor go-cart tracks as a con 'tional use in the I-I District or the subject site is rezoned to B-3 District, approval 0 a CUP for an outdoor go cart track is subject to the following conditions, as outline in Section 13-4[N] of the Zoning Ordinance. A. The proposed use must meet all conditions of Chapter 3, Section 4[A]. Comment: This section rela es to lot area and building size requirements. There is no minimum lot siz required in the B-3 District and the minimum lot width is 100 feet. The inimum lot size of the [-1 District is 20,000 square feet and the minim m lot width is 100 feet. The subject site is approximately 107,250 squar feet in size and has a width of approximately 225 feet at the front setback ine. As such. this condition is satisfied. The Conditional Use Permit ill be reviewed yearly to determine whether or not it is compatible with ne'ghboring properties and in conformance with conditions of the conditional use. B. Comment: This statement 'Il be included as part of the recommended conditions of approval. C. A solid six-foot high fence ust be part of the screening required when the adjacent properties are resid ntial. The subject site is surrounded only by commercial and industrial zoned properties. However, to minimize the impacts f noise from the go-cart track to any adjacent properties, and to screen the use om the public right of way a wood fence and landscaping should be provided. The types and quantities of planting materials should be such that a dense planting wall ultimately develops to further buffer the noise impacts of the go-cart track. C:\SANDY\WORD\AGENDA\GO-CART.PC 19 1'1 ,. ~ . . . Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 D. For dust and noise (70dB at residential property line) must be controlled at all times to the satisfaction of t City. Comment: The fence and pi ntings discussed above should be adequate to address noise issues. Howev r, beyond the noise of the go-carts, in no case should any type of outdoor ublic address system be utilized on the subject site. The submitted plans do not indicate the swface of the proposed go.cart track. To control dust, the o-cart track will be required to be concrete or bituminous surfaced. E. The provisions of Chapte 22 of this Ordinance are considered and satisfactorily met. Comment: Section 22 of the proposed use and complianc The subject site is in a locatio land uses. ning Ordinance addresses compatibility of the with Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. to avoid compatibility conflicts with adjacent Parking. The existing parking lot is bitu . ous surfaced and striped. However, submitted plans do not indicate the number of stalls ithin the parking lot. Staff has estimated the capacity of the parking lot to be at least 70 salls, based upon the minimum design standards within the Zoning Ordinance. With the num r of stalls to be provided, at least two must be designated disability accessible with a 7 foo access strip in between for van accessability. The Zoning Ordinance requires one space p r 40 square feet of building area for roller rink uses. Based upon this requirements and a b ilding size of 11,700 square feet, a total of 294 parking stalls would be required for the ro r rink use alone. However, lTE data suggests that the actual parking demand for the ro r rink, based upon building size is actually 46 stalls. As such, 24 stalls would remain for t e go-cart track use. At least on an initial basis, this number appears appropriate. There is a ditional site area indicated on the site plan as a proposed mini-golf area that could be dev loped as parking, if demand is found to exceed supply. A condition of approval will be that he applicant must improve the existing parking lot to provide at least 70 parking stalls, tw of which must be disability accessible. Mini-Golf Area. As noted above, the submi ted site plan indicates a proposed miniature golf area. Development of this use on the subje t site would require the applicant to request an CUP amendment. Whether the miniature olf use would be allowed would be dependent upon confonnance with Zoning Ordinance rovisions, particularly parking. C:\SANDY\WORD\AGENDA\GO-CART.PC 20 ,'I -' "3 . . . Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 Lighting. The submitted site plan does not ' dicate if any exterior lighting is proposed to be utilized to illuminate the go-cart track. The a plicant should revise the site plan to specify the location of any and all exterior site lighting. dditionally, the applicant must provide details regarding any proposed light fixtures, includ g photometric plans. All site lighting must be subject to review and approval of the City ouncil. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Decision 1: Amendment to allow Outdoo Go-Cart track use on subject site: Alternative 1.
