MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER GABLER. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0. 6. Public Hearing - Consideration of a request for a Conditional Use Permit for Open and Outdoor Storage. Applicant: General Rental Center of Monticello. LLC. Planner Holien presented the staff report, stating that the applicant is requesting a conditional use for outdoor storage as an accessory use in an 1-2 Zoning District. Holien stated that the site contains a 2,400 building and 768 square foot storage shed. The applicant has indicated that the storage shed will be used for preparation of party rental projects. The proposed outdoor storage area also includes 9200 square feet, enclosed with a fence, and is located in the rear of the site. The outdoor storage area is accessible by gate. Holien reported that the applicant intends to use this area to store off-season equipment. No signage proposed. Holien stated that there are some existing landscaping and proposed landscaping improvements, including along north side of the building within the rocked area, visible from Edmonson. As part of the CUP, the City does review fencing and screening in relationship to adjacent properties. Holien noted that this site does not abut residential properties. Illustrations of fencing have been provided. Holien explained that the applicant has proposed a metal fence of beige and brown which is identical to the Simonson Lumber fencing. Holien stated that this fencing is expected to screen the use from the public right of way. The storage area is required to be surfaced, Holien noted. The applicant indicated that it will be filled with crushed rock. Holien stated that any lighting would be required to be full cut- off lighting. Holien stated that the application appears to be consistent with intent ofI-2 district, subject to Exhibit Z. In that regard, staff is recommending approval. Spartz asked about any required setback for the storage area. Holien responded that they need to adhere to easement and parking setback requirements. Holien noted that easements are shown on the survey. Gabler asked if there was a landscape plan. Holien referred to the landscaping shown on site 2 e e e e plan, and indicated that the applicant had no formal plan. Dragsten asked if there is supposed to be a landscape plan submitted with the application. Holien stated the site plan drawing is the plan and that the landscaping shown is in addition to minimum requirements. Chairman Dragsten opened the public hearing. Dragsten asked the buyer about the current tenants. Ron Chihos, applicant, stated that the ALP school will stay in the upper portion of the building. He indicated that he was also hoping that the lower tenant would stay, but they are closing that business. Dragsten asked who would be taking the lower portion. Chihos indicated that he did not know at this point, but that the building in the back is already vacated. Dragsten asked ifthere is a lease in place. Gordy Hoglund clarified that there is no formal lease. Dragsten asked ifChihos will be doing anything else to the building. Chihos indicated that they would be making some improvements. Chihos noted that there are trees in front, but also plant shrubs for view from Edmonson. e Dragsten clarified that this is just for off-season storage and that the applicant will not be selling from this location. Chihos indicated that they would not be. Dragsten asked Chihos if customers would be coming to the building. Chihos indicated that customers would not utilize this site. Dragsten inquired if General Rental would be putting any lighting up. Chihos stated that they would probably be putting up lighting for security. Dragsten noted the ordinance requirements. Chairman Dragsten closed the public hearing. Dragsten stated that he would like to add to Exhibit Z that the fence should be constructed to the detail provided. Schumann noted that the Commission may also want to consider adding the condition that the site not serve as a retail outlet. Dragsten also suggested that additional site clean-up should be undertaken. e MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SPARTZ TO APPROVE THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR OPEN AND OUTDOOR STORAGE, BASED ON A FINDING THAT THE PROPOSED USE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT OF THE 1-2 DISTRICT AND THE USE SATISFIES THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OUTLINED IN EXHIBIT Z AND BY THE COMMISSION IN THE MEETING OF JULY 11TH, 2007 AS FOLLOWS: t. Any lighting proposed for the site shall be full cutoff lighting, in compliance with the standards of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. Fence should be constructed to the detail provided. 3. Site shall not serve as a retail outlet. 4. Additional site clean-up should be undertaken MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER VOIGHT. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0. 3 7. Public Hearing - Consideration of a request to amend Chapter 3 of the Monticello Zoning Ordinance regulating the height and area of signs in a freewav overlav zone within commercial districts. Applicant: Citv of Monticello Planning Commission . Planner Holien presented the staff report, explaining that the item came before the Commission in September of2006, at which time the Commission was presented with two different options. At that time, the Planning Commission chose to extend the freeway bonus district south of the 800' line along 25 and to Chelsea Road by segments. In reference to those segments, Holien stated that section 1 is B-3, section 2 is B-3, and section 3 is B-4. Holien explained that the Commission chose to extend the bonus district to include segments 2 and 3, but excluded segment 1. The final freeway bonus district is portrayed in the final map as the yellow area. Holien stated that decision was made in October of2006. Holien noted that a property owner was unable to attend the October meeting, and had some concerns. For that reason, the item is being brought back to the Commission. Chairman Dragsten opened the public hearing. Charlie Pfeffer, Pfeffer Companies, representing the landowner Ocello and Monticello Industrial Park, addressed the Commission. Pfeffer asked if all properties on Chelsea would be included in the extension. Dragsten clarified that if they are B-3 or B-4, they would be included. Pfeffer stated that the other issue that he asked the Commission to consider is the height and size of signs at 200 square feet and pylon at 32 feet. Pfeffer stated that there is no . simple answer to signage and that there is always a concern about visual pollution. On the other hand, he stated that for those ofus that travel, signage is of critical importance for local business. He stated that he is not sure that 200 feet does that. Pfeffer recommended the Commission consider signs of 400 square feet at 50 feet in height. Pfeffer stated that he appreciated the Commission's consideration of that additional allowance. Bob Lamont addressed the Commission as a property owner along Chelsea Road, in the area identified as segment 3. Lamont stated that he is somewhat behind on the discussion and he appreciates the consideration of expansion of the bonus area. He stated that the possibility exists that a development could encompass the parcel that is south of his. Dragsten clarified that it is north of the mini-storage, north of Dundas. Lamont confirmed. Schumann stated that this item is for a freeway signage district, and that perhaps once the Commission gets south of Chelsea, instead of a freeway bonus extension, they may want to look at signage as a whole. Dragsten agreed. He noted to Lamont that when there is one large user, it would most likely come in as PUD, and there may be some flexibility in size signage. Dragsten stated that for himself, it becomes too far off the freeway. Lamont stated that signage offsets the direct freeway exposure. Gabler stated that as the signage allowances keep extending it out, signs are not going to be . seen from the freeway anyway. It is also getting into the residential areas. 4 e e e Hilgart stated that he is confused and thought that Commission had excluded areas to the west. Schumann clarified that was correct, that the Commission had not included area I on West Chelsea because of the adjacent residential. Pfeffer asked if any property fronting Chelsea would be part of the overlay district. Dragsten stated that the West Chelsea section in segment I, outside of the 800' is not included in the freeway bonus district. Hilgart confirmed that 2 and 3 were included, but I was not. Holien clarified that any property within 800' would be included. Other properties outside of that would not be included. Dragten referred to lighting and other problems, and stated that for that reason, the Commission only included 2 and 3. However, properties already within 800' would be included. Pfeffer noted that 2 and 3 are beyond 800'. Dragsten explained that these areas are not abutting residential. Dragsten also indicated that the north side areas are all within 800'. Spartz asked if this went forward to City Council. Holien stated that it had not. Spartz asked if that was normal for such a lag between Commission and Council review. Holien reported that it isn't; but that it was requested that we have another public hearing. Voight stated that adding segment I isn't in the City's best interest due to visual pollution factors. Voight stated that he isn't certain that he likes the addition of segments 2 and 3,just because if it keeps extending it, it won't end. It will become a competition. He stated that while it might be helpful for travelers, they already have the blue information signs on the freeway. He indicated that he would think that if you see bigger signs, you'll know other things are there. Voight stated that although he is okay with the large signs, he doesn't believe them to be necessary. Voight asked about the size of the Holiday sign. Anderson stated that he believed it was 140 square feet. Voight stated that it is his opinion that sign is big enough. Dragsten stated that the consensus is that the original motion stands. Spartz stated that in driving by Rogers, you can see the sign posts, and it isn't aesthetically pleasing. As far as main businesses, word travels and people know where they are at. He stated that he thinks 200 square feet is adequate. Dragsten noted that if a plan comes in as a PUD, there is some flexibility. Hilgart asked what the Commission's options are. Holien referred to the previous meeting's report, which outlined map segments for Commission's choice on the extensions. Schumann indicated they could let the original motion stand. Chairman Dragsten closed the public hearing. The Commissioners indicated that they would let the original motion stand and recommended that the item move forward to the City Council. Voight noted that it would be the yellow map would be moving forward to the City Council. Dragsten stated that at this time, the Commission sees no need to change the motion. 8. Public Hearing Consideration of a reQuest for amendment to the Monticello Zoning Ordinance Chapters 3-2 and 3-5, as related to the exterior storage and parking of vehicles in residential districts. Applicant: City of Monticello 5 a. Rear-Yard Vehicle Storage . Planner Holien presented the staff report, stating that this item had originally been heard at the April Planning Commission meeting. At that meeting, the Commission recommended that staff prepare additional amendments dealing with parking in the side yard and the parking area setback. As such, staff met with the Building Department on other items. The proposed ordinance is a result of those discussions. Holien stated that currently, vehicle parking is allowed in the side, rear and front on the designated driveway or on one additional surfaced space. Existing language stated that the one additional existing space must be surfaced with bituminous. There is no language on the surface material of front yard parking. Holien reported that the previous amendment stated that vehicle storage in the rear yard would be prohibited except for within a garage. In this amendment, it additionally regulates that vehicle parking would be allowed only the extra surfaced space or on a driveway leading to an accessory structure. Holien stated that the side yard amendment addresses the one surface space adjacent to a garage which must be setback 3' from the lot line. Staff has also addressed the requirements for surfacing. Holien noted that the ordinance does not currently address surfacing. This amendment addresses . appropriate materials, including concrete, bituminous, pavers. Holien stated that due to unique configurations for corner lots, staff recommends that where someone is choosing a side yard parking space on these lots, the amendment proposes a 90% opacity screening, with 70% natural materials. Holien stated that the City does not currently require a permit for driveway construction. However, due to a continued litany of violations, staff has spoken with the Building Department and recommends requiring a permit on all driveway construction as a means to better manage relating information to people. The permitting process allows additional communication, specially related to drainage and utility easements. For example, property owners may construct parking over the 6' required drainage and utility easement to the 3' line, but the potential for ripping the surface up for utility or drainage needs is at owner's expense. The City feels it's important to be able to communicate that information. Finally, Holien stated that the amendment addressed the number of recreational vehicles allowed and parking on the boulevard. Holien stated that the boulevard item has been attached as a separate memo. Staff believes it's important to address recreational vehicles, including motor homes, . ATVs, etc., in order to preserve driveways for registered vehicles. Holien stated that the ordinance limit is currently one truck plus recreational 6 e vehicles and equipment. Holien stated that the amendment additionally limits this to no more than one recreational vehicle and equipment may be parked in residential driveway at one time. Any additional items are required to be parked behind the front building line. Holien stated that these amendments are aimed at helping with blight and nuisance issues. Holien stated that at this time, the language applies to single family units only, as multi and two units need to be addressed separately. Voight asked if recreational vehicles have to be parked behind front line on an improved surface. Holien stated that would be correct. Hilgart inquired if the ordinance amendment would mean that there would be no parking in the rear yard, unless there is a garage. Holien concurred, but stated that if the only garage is in the rear yard, the vehicles could be parking in spaces along side and in front. Hilgart commented that with these amendments you can't just put your snowmobiles on a trailer and park on the grass in the side yard. Hilgart inquired if only one recreational vehicle was allowed in the driveway, what about in sideyard. Holien stated that the property owner could park as many as they wanted on the surfaced area, as long as they don't encroach on the 3'. e Spartz stated that his understanding was that the amendments were aimed at taking care of unlicensed and inoperable vehicles. Holien stated that the current ordinance already addresses those. The amendments go further in not allowing vehicles to be parked in rear yards. Anderson stated that boats, trailers and other recreational vehicles can still be parked in the rear yard. Those we want to leave as allowable uses. Anderson stated that what the City is trying to avoid is a car or pick-up truck, licensed or unlicensed, in the rear yard. Hilgart clarified that their snowmobiles on a trailer could be in the rear yard. Anderson confirmed. Schumann noted the Commission had dealt with these issues in regard to detached accessory structures amendments. Schumann commented on the balance between high-end neighborhoods and the need for storage of all accessory and recreational items. Spartz noted that he has rock on the side yard of his house. Anderson stated that the whole intent is to get junk vehicles out of the back yard. Vehicles should be parked inside or on an improved surface. Dragsten stated that in trying to do these other things, it may be that it is harder to get the junk vehicles item passed. e Dragsten stated that currently, no one can park within 15' of the curb. Holien stated the subsequent memo addresses that item. 7 Dragsten noted the provision that driveway grading plans are subject to the A approval. Anderson stated that a portion of driveway area is public right of ., way or may be drainage and utility easement. He noted that impervious surface impacts drainage and that there is area that is sufficient to allow for drainage. Sometimes these drainage swales get filled in. He explained that with more impervious, there is increased water run-off in these areas. Holien stated that the current ordinance actually requires the approval, but notes a waiver is allowable. Dragsten asked about surfacing requirements. Gabler asked about the acceptability of rock. Anderson stated that rock migrates out into City streets and into storm sewers and cause maintenance problems. Rock fits between grates. Gabler asked if the City could require a specific size of rock. Gabler noted that temporary driveways require rock entrances. Anderson stated that temporary rock entrances are required to be below the entrenchment behind the curb. It is also common for streets to have to be cleaned as part of development agreement. Chairman Dragsten closed the public hearing. Spartz re-stated that even with a long driveway, only one recreational vehicle would be allowed; the others would have to be on side or in rear. Hilgart stated that he likes the idea of saying you can't just park vehicles on e the side of your house in the grass. Dragsten stated that what he and Commissioner Spartz are referring to is if you have a boat and four wheelers, where do you put them if you can't get them to the backyard. Anderson referred to growing families with three to four cars plus recreational vehicles. Anderson and Schumann clarified you could have your vehicles in the driveway, plus one truck or recreational vehicle. Holien stated that if you want all of your vehicles in the driveway and your one recreational vehicle, that was allowable. However, this amendment limits front driveway parking to one recreational vehicle. Hilgart stated that the ordinance isn't stating that you can't have multiple vehicles in your driveway. Anderson referred to the 30' required front yard setback, stating that typically four vehicles could fit within that distance. Anderson stated that where we will run into problems is with the R-2A lots where there is only room for two vehicles plus two in garage. They have shorter setback distances with sidewalks. Anderson said that in developing the amendment, staff tried to use common sense, and as much of what we've seen in the field, to develop something A that fit. ., 8 e Dragsten asked about the 90% opacity and 70% natural screening for comer lots. Holien stated that is for comer lots with garages on the comer side. Anderson stated that in some of those cases, screening may be on property line, or setback line. Dragsten asked if they are required to stay out of drainage and utility easements. Anderson stated that iflandscaping is put it in the easement, the property owner is ultimately responsible. Spartz asked about screening with visibility at comer. Anderson referred to setbacks and right of way, stating that there should be enough visible area, although street width variables and smaller setbacks may impact that. Spartz asked if language referencing the line of sight could be added. Holien indicated that it could be added. e Dragsten asked about surfacing. Voight stated that item is what he is struggling with as well. He stated that the City would be asking the public to do a lot of stuff to improve the surface, which may be burdensome. He asked how significant it is to allow for rock. Anderson stated that the problem is maintenance. As long as it is maintained, there isn't a problem. However, with freeze-thaw, there are problems. Anderson suggested alternatives such as conbit (concrete bituminous), crushed concrete, and crushed granite. They are readily available. Dragsten stated that adding those gives people an alternative. Holien stated those could be added. Spartz stated that perhaps it should be materials to control dust and drainage. Dragsten clarified that rock area would be grandfathered in. Anderson confirmed, until deterioration. Dragsten inquired how would people know they would need a permit to do their driveway. At this time, there is no permit required Anderson stated that this requirement is basically so that the City knows when these things are occurring, so that people are aware of ordinance and setback limitations. It gives the City a way to get information out, to be more proactive rather than addressing violations. Gabler asked about permit fees. Anderson stated that would be decided later. It was noted that permits are required for sprinkler systems. Anderson expressed his appreciation for the Commission's consideration, e MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HILGART TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS WITH THE NOTATION THAT ALTERNTAIVES TO PAVING BE ALLOWED, TO INCLUDE CONBIT, CRUSHED CONCRETE AND CRUSHED GRANITE, BASED ON A FINDING THAT THE AMENDMENTS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT OF THE OFF-STREET PARK REGULATIONS AND WILL ASSIST IN PROTECTING THE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND GENERAL WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY. 9 MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER VOIGHT. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0. e b. Off-Street Parking Setbacks Holien presented the staffreport. Holien indicated that this item has come up as a concern, as related to the setback from boulevard and street surface. Holien cited the current ordinance, which indicated that no parking is allowed within IS feet of any street surface. Holien commented that the intent of the IS foot setback is to prohibit blocking of sidewalks and pathways, blocking snowplow procedures, and creation of a nuisance to Public Works. Staff has prepared language to address those issues. Holien stated that the Commission has been presented with three options. The first is to amend the code to allow parking within IS feet of the street surface and within the boulevard in circumstances where vehicles will not interfere with sidewalks or snowplows. The second option is an amendment to prohibit parking within 15 feet of the street surface and within the boulevard for any period of time in excess of24 hours. Or, the Commission can retain the current ordinance language, prohibiting all off-street parking within 15 feet of the street surface and all off-street parking within the boulevard for residential properties. Dragsten asked it the second alternative would apply to any time of the year. Holien stated that it would. e Spartz stated that it seems that the intended purpose is to allow Public Works to plow street and clear the sidewalks, so the City needs to determine which alternative meets that. Spartz commented that it seems number one seems to address that best. Holien stated the 24 hour option is probably more difficult to enforce. Dragsten stated that the problem with the first option is that there is no time frame. Holien noted that the Commission could also combine the two options. Dragsten stated that he doesn't like the 24 hour option. Gabler stated that we could put it to 72 hours. Hilgart commented that if you aren't blocking things, who cares if you park there. Hilgart agreed that the first alternative seems appropriate. Voight stated that as far as enforcement, you aren't going to hear about it unless it is a problem. Voight agreed that the first option seemed like the best. Chairman Dragsten opened the public hearing. Hearing no comments, Chairman Dragsten closed the public hearing. Spartz noted that people could pull in and out to avoid the 24 hour violation. Anderson recommended option one, which seems to be the cleanest in terms of enforcement. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER VOIGHT TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE ORDINANCE TO ALLOW PARKING WITHIN IS FEET OF THE STREET SURF ACE AND WITHIN THE e 10 e e e BOULEVARD IN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE VEHICLES WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH SIDEWALKS OR SNOWPLOWS. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SPARTZ. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0. 9. Comprehensive Plan Update Schumann reported that the first draft of the comprehensive plan would be made available for editing by staff on July 13th. After staff edits, it would be given to the Commission and Council in advance of a joint work session. At the time that Commission and Council were prepared to move forward, it would move to community meetings. 10. Consideration of a report regarding the maintenance of entrance monument signage. Schumann reported that a recent inquiry had led to clarification on that item. The City Attorney indicated that as to center islands, the owner is obligated to maintain these, absent any other provision in the development contract. If the City is the owner in that it is part of our right of way, it is the City's responsibility to maintain them. As to monuments on the individual property, it is a structure just like any structure on their property and would be subject to applicable code requirements. Unless the development contract both requires on going maintenance and assigns that responsibility to the owner of the lot, the owner of the lot would not have the responsibility to comply with the maintenance of the landscaping. Gabler asked for an inventory of all monument signage in the City. Schumann indicated that staff could prepare the inventory. 11. Consideration of an Update regarding the Citv of Monticello's statutory authoritv for regulation of grOUP homes within city limits. Schumann stated that over the past few weeks, City officials and staff members have received a number of inquiries as to the City's ability to regulate group homes, specifically in single-family neighborhoods. Schumann indicated that the Commission had been given information pulled from State Statute and other legal sources regarding the City's authority on this matter. Schumann commented that the City Attorney had emailed regarding this item and the email had been included with the information. Schumann stated that in a preliminary review of the materials available, it is staff's opinion that the City has only very limited control in relationship to regulation of group homes. Minnesota statute's Municipal Planning Act and the federal Civil Rights ActlFair Housing Act prohibit discrimination in housing for these types of uses. Additionally, the statute outlines extensive regulations for group homes themselves, in terms of definition, permittingilicensing through the County, records, reporting, etc. Schumann reported that many municipalities have challenged various aspects of both the federal and state regulations and have not been successful. However, the City of St. Paul 11 was able to gain some leverage through regulation of the distance between homes. The summary of that case is included below. After this decision, the state statute was written e to allow cities of the first class to regulate location of group homes by distance in certain circumstances. Some metro-area cities have, or are, considering passing codes of a similar nature, even though they are not cities of the first class. This is done with the assumption that they will be challenged. Commissioner Hilgart expressed concern, stating that he believes it to be very important, especially with all of the foreclosures. Hilgart asked if it is possible to limit the number of houses for rent. Anderson discussed the provisions of the proposed rental ordinance and referred to investors with no stake in the community. Anderson stated that once the City has an ordinance in place, it will have a way to regulate and inspect rental properties. Holien stated that there are currently other cities looking at regulation of group homes in single family neighborhoods. This is something that they will most likely be challenged on. lt is something that would require more research. Dragsten asked how many permits had been issued this year that were investor type. Anderson said out of39, probably 33. Hilgart commented that this will likely drive prices down. Hilgart stated that it seemed that the first step is the rental ordinance and then to possibly limit the number of group homes. Referring to group homes, Commissioner Dragsten indicated that he shared Hilgart's concern and asked if the Commission could recommend regulation by distance. Schumann indicated e that it would require a public hearing either at the Councilor Commission level; more research would need to be undertaken to find out the process for such an amendment. Schumann noted to the Commission that such an amendment would directly violate the State statute. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DRAGS TEN TO RESEARCH AND RECOMMEND THE DRAFTING OF AN ORDINANCE REGULATING DISTANCE BETWEEN GROUP HOMES. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HILGART. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0. 12. Consideration of an update regarding the status of the conditional use permit for Walt's Pawn Shop. Schumann reported that in conjunction with the pawn license issued currently on a monthly basis to Walt's Pawn, the Building Department is looking into compliance with the approved conditional use permit. Upon completion of inspection, a report will be prepared for the City Council. Commissioner Dragsten asked Schumann to make the report available to the Planning Commission. 13. Consideration of calling for a public hearing regarding the amendment of Section 3-9rEl as related to the regulation of signage in the Central Communitv District. e 12 e e e Schumann presented the staff report, stating that Paeonia Floral has requested a 5.8 square foot projecting sign for their business, located at 105 3'd Street West (formerly Stems & Vines). Schumann explained that projecting signs are allowed within the CCD, but only in the Broadway Downtown District. The property location is outside of the Broadway Downtown District. As such, the sign proposed is not permitted at this location. As it is not permitted, there is no ability for the applicant to seek a variance. Schumann referenced that in staff discussions regarding the proposed sign, there was some idea that signs of this nature should be encouraged, rather than discouraged in the general CCD. However, the proliferation of such signs could also present a problem, particularly coupled with other sign allowances in the (wall and pylon) CCD. The Design Advisory Team met on July 10th and discussed this application and the idea of a possible amendment to the code to allow this type of sign. Schumann reported that the Design Advisory Team is recommending that the Planning Commission call for a public hearing to strike the "Broadway Downtown District" clause from the ordinance regulating projecting signs. In short, striking that clause would allow projecting signs in all ofthe CCD, in addition to other signs allowed. The applicant would still be required to meet total sign square footage requirements, no matter what their combination of signage. Schumann stated that in considering an amendment in this regard, Commission may also want to address the reduction of allowances for wall and/or pylon signs as a trade-off for allowing this type of sign in the greater CCD area. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DRAGSTEN TO CALL FOR A PUBLIC REGARDING THE AMENDMENT OF SECTION 3-9[E] AS RELATED TO THE REGULATION OF SIGNAGE IN THE CENTRAL COMMUNITY DISTRICT. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HILGART. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0. 14. Adioum. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SPARTZ TO ADJOURN. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HILGART. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0. 13 e e e Planning Commission Agenda - 08/07/07 5. Consideration of a request for extension of a Conditional Use Permit for Development Sta!!e Planned Unit Development and Preliminary Plat for Villas on Elm. Applicant: UP Development (AS) REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND On June 5th, 2007, the Planning Commissioned tabled action on a recommendation to approve a request for extension for Preliminary Plat and CUP for the ViDas at Elm project. The action was to provide time for the applicant to work with property owner to remedy blight and nuisance issues existing on the proj ect properties. As such, the Building Department inventoried blight and nuisance items. A letter detailing these items and required remedy was sent to the applicant on June 21st. Since that time, the applicant has worked with the property owner to remedy blight issues on the property. Remaining blight items have been noted on the images attached as supporting data. In discussing the items with the applicant, the property owners apparently have indicated a reluctance to remove the trailers parked on the property and the remaining concrete pad. The concrete pad's removal was a requirement of the demolition permit for the shed structure previously on the site. The demolition permit was issued to the property owner, not the applicant. In making a recommendation, the Planning Commission should consider the ability of the applicant to remedy blight issues on property not under their ownership. The Commission should also consider the significant number of items that the applicant has yet to address in terms of meeting the conditions of the development stage approval. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS 1. Motion to reconunend extension of the June 26th, 2006 Conditional Use Permit for Development Stage Planned Unit Development and Preliminary Plat for Villas on Elm to June 26th, 2008. with the condition that all previously approved conditions be assigned to the extension. 2. Motion to reconunend denial of an extension of the June 26th. 2006 Conditional Use Permit for Development Stage Planned Unit Development and Preliminary Plat for Villas on Elm 3. Motion of other. STAFF RECOIVIMENDATION Planning staff believes that the applicant may have only limited control in requiring the current property owner to remove the trailers and concrete pad. Blight issues and code violations are the direct responsibility of the property owner. The City's enforcement action may best be directed at the property owner. Planning Commission Agenda - 08/07/07 However, it should be noted that there a a number of major items that the applicant has yet to address in terms of meeting the conditions of the development stage Planned Unit Development. e Any recommendation for extension should be contingent on meeting of all conditions previously assigned.

The Commission's intent in tabling was to allow the applicant 30 days to work with all owners of property encompassed within the development proposal in the remedy of blight and nuisance issues. e As such, the Monticello Building Department has completed an inspection and inventory of blight and nuisance items that need to be addressed. Please see the attached photos and the description of the work that should be completed, which is directly below the pictures. It is staffs belief that the 30 days for action begins from the receipt of the information on nuisance and blight items. As such, the 30 days shall begin from the date of this letter. The deadline date for action is therefore July 22"", 2007. However, the Planning Commission indicated that they would review the item again at their next regular meeting, which will be held on July 11th, 2007. It is at your discretion whether the clean-up will have been completed in time for review on July II th, or whether you would like the review of the extension to be taken to the August 7"', 2007 Planning Commission meeting. In that regard, please notify me to schedule a second Planning Commission review of the request for extension. If you have any questions on the materials included, please contact City Building Inspector DJ Hennessey at 763-271-3213. ann evelopment Coordinator c: Jeff O'Neil!, City of Monticello Gary Anderson, City of Monticello Stephen Grittman, NAC Kimberly Holien, City of Monticello e Monticello City Hall, 505 Walnut Street.

Elkin, P.E. May 24, 2006 Villas on Elm Storm Water Management Review City Project No. 2005-073 WSB Project No. 1488-55 The following report is a review of the storm water management plan associated with the proposed Villas on Elm development. This review is based on the preliminary plat. grading. utility and landscaping plans prepared by Otto and Associates dated 3/6/06. . The storm water calculations submitted with the plans are incomplete. These calculations should include detailed hydrology for the 2-year. 10-year and 100-year events. Calculations should also include; runoff from each sub-watershed, peak discharge rates from each pond, high water levels and normal water levels. e . The peak discharge rate of storm water off-site will be required to be equal to or less than the existing discharge rate. This will most likely require a storm pond in the northeast comer of the site (Area P3). which is currently proposed to discharge directly into the city's storm sewer. . The proposed pond at the southwest comer of the property near the intersection of 7th Street and Elm Street appears to be too small to manage the designed watershed. The applicant will need to demonstrate that this pond is large enough to manage the 100- year storm event within the high water level. . The proposed grading plan shows two small swale areas on the north property line near Lot 7. Block 37 and near Lot 13, Block 37. which 'Will manage off-site runoff. Calculations 'Will need to be provided detailing the amount of runoff and the discharge rate. . Because these plans propose a catch basin in the open space of Block 47. it is assumed that there will be some short-term ponding in this low area. To evaluate the impact this 'Will have on the open space. a separate sub-watershed should be created e r':\f)"c/lmo!n1S (mil Sl!lIi,,~_nR1J!d(/.."dmma"'r,C{:L"':{1f Seu;nf!-,,7"emp<>rary Jme"1f!1 F'ih:.<i(JLKr""',\"",rmwa!o!r r<'vie'" ..\4e""l,ll,~' e e e Mr. Bret Weiss, P.E. February 14, 2005 Page 2 in this area to determine the amount of runoff directed to the CB and the time of water detention. . The City of Monticello's storm water management plan has identified the need for a regional pond on the east side of Elm Street within this property and the property directly south. The ponding responsibility of this parcel has been calculated to be 4.2 acre-feet of storage below the 930.2 elevation. Previously, it was determined that the surface area needed to provide this storage would be I acre of land graded with 4: I side slopes. Future development to the south will be responsible for the remaining acreage needed. Volume calculations of this basin will be needed to see if this requirement is met. In summary, the proposed storm water management cannot completely be evaluated at this time because of the lack of information about the system. It does appear that the ponding can be provided in the designated low areas however, these designated areas may need to be expanded to manage both the runofffrom this site and the existing storm water, which runs through the site.

Elkin, P.E. Date: July 9, 2006 Re: Villas on Elm Storm Water Management Review City Project No. 2005-073 WSB Project No. 1488-55 The following report is a review of the storm water and grading plan associated with the proposed Villas on Elm development. This review is based on the revised preliminary plat, grading, utility and landscaping plans prepared by Otto and Associates dated 6/1 0/06. . The overall hydrological storm water calculations submitted with the plans are acceptable. Once the storm sewer alignment has been approved, hydraulic calculations will be needed for the storm sewer pipe modeling the I 0 year event. . The depth of most of the storm water catch basins and manholes do not meet the City of Monticello's four-foot minimum depth requirement. A check of the elevations, slope and cover it appears that the following storm sewer lines can be lowered to meet the City's requirements: CB 3 to CBMH 10 (0.3% slope), CB 2 to the existing manhole (0.8% slope) MH 8 to CBMH 10 (0.22% slope) and CB I to FES I (0.9% slope). . A cross-section detail is needed of the backyard drain tile system proposed for the backyards oflots 5 through 10 of Block 35. The applicant should also provide maintenance details of this system. (Is it proposed to be part of an association or is the applicant proposing the line to be part of the City's storm sewer system?) . The grading plan needs to identify the EOF routes for the ponds (not the regional pond) and low areas with catch basins. C:'lJocwne"lJ and Httings'lmJce.

Consideration of a request for Preliminary Plat and a Conditional Use Permit for Development Sta2e Planned Unit Development approval for a multi-tenant office complex. Applicant: Quad Development (NAC) BACKGROUND Quad Development is seeking Preliminary Plat approval and a Conditional Use Permit for development stage Planned Unit Development for the construction of a multi-tenant office complex. The subject site is located on Outlot A of the Monticello Business Center 3rd Addition. The subject site is 4.5 acres in size. The applicant is proposing five multi-tenant office buildings on the site. The underlying zoning is B-4, Regional Business. ANALYSIS The subject site is located west ofWal-Mart of east of the Autumn Ridge Townhome development, on the south side of School Boulevard. The applicant is proposing five office buildings. Three of these buildings will be 8,500 square feet in area with a full first floor and partial mezzanine. The remaining two buildings will each be 12,800 square feet in area with two full floors. The applicant is expecting a combination of office and office/showroom tenants. Planned Unit Development is being requested to accommodate multiple buildings on one site. The applicant is also requesting flexibility to parking and signage as part of the PUD. The applicant is proposing to complete the project in phases. Phase I will consist of Building 5 only. The remaining buildings are proposed as part of Phase II, and are expected to follow soon after. Comprehensive Plan: Monticello's Comprehensive Plan designates this area for commercial use. Zonin'i!: The subject site is zoned B-4, Regional Business. The purpose of the B- 4, regional business district is to provide for the establishment of commercial and service activities which draw from and serve customers from the entire community or region. CUPIPUD: A Planned Unit Development allows for flexibility in performance standards with the understanding that the development will be held to higher standards of site and building design than would ordinarily be required. It is the applicant's responsibility to design the development with significant benefits and communicate those benefits to the City for allowing a CUP/PUD. Preliminary Plat. The subject site is currently platted as Outlot A of the Monticello Business Center 3rd Addition. The applicant is proposing to plat the site as Monticello Business Center 4th Addition as part ofthe project. Phase I is Planning Commission Agenda - 08/07/07 to be platted as Lot 1, including Building 5. The remainder of the site is to be platted as Outlot A. e Parking. The proposed buildings comprise a total of 51,100 square feet of gross floor area. The proposed uses for the structures have not been provided. However, the applicant has indicated that a variety of office users are expected for the site. The parking requirement for office uses is three spaces plus one space for each 200 square feet of building area. In determining the building area, 10% of the building is presumed to be reserved for utilities, hallways, bathrooms, and other facilities. Based on stated uses, the estimated parking requirement is as follows: Buildin Buildin Buildin Buildin Buildin 4: Building 5: 12,800 s uarefeet Total Re uired Floor Area at 90% 7,650 s uare feet 7,650 s uare feet 11,520 s uare feet 7,650 s uare feet 11,520 s uare feet aces The applicant has provided 243 ofthe 248 parking stalls required. The applicant is requesting flexibility for the remaining five parking stalls as part of the PUD. Some overlap in uses can be expected, and the site contains a great deal of parking. The applicant has supplied 98 percent of the parking required. In that regard, it may be appropriate to allow flexibility on the five remaining stalls. e The site is designed with the majority ofthe parking stalls in the interior. A small parking area is also proposed on the south side of the site. Landscaping. For commercial sites, a minimum of one overstory tree per 1,000 square feet of gross building floor area, or one tree per 50 lineal feet of site perimeter, whichever is greater, is required. The site has approximately 1,944 lineal feet of site perimeter, requiring 39 overstory trees. However, the site has 51,100 square feet of gross building floor area, requiring 51 trees. As such, the building area requirement shall prevail. The applicant has proposed 51 overstory trees, satisfying the minimum requirement. These trees are provided through a combination of four Emerald Lustre Maples, four Fallgold Ash, five Sienna Glen Maples, four Skyline Honeylocusts, and five Swamp White Oaks. The applicant is also proposing 7 Austrian Pines, 14 Black Hills Spruce, and 8 Colorado Spruces. The majority of the overstory trees are proposed along the east property line, to provide a buffer between the subject site and the townhome development to the east. Sod is proposed between the buildings and on the back side of each building. All parking lot islands will also be landscaped with shrubs and perennials. The foundation of each building will also be landscaped with shrubs and perennials. e 2 Planning Commission Agenda - 08/07/07 e A large plaza area is located in the center of the parking lot. The applicant is proposing sod for this area, as well as Juniper and Dogwood shrubs and perennials. An unidentified feature is proposed on the north side of this center plaza. No plantings are proposed on the north half of this landscaped area. Staff recommends that the applicant continue the shrub and/or perennial plantings to the north to place more emphasis on this center island. Ornamental trees would also be appropriate in this area. In conjunction with the minimum landscaping requirements, a landscaped buffer yard is also required between the subject site the townhomes to the east. The conflict in uses between high density residential development and commercial development is classified as Class B, or moderate. Therefore, a minimum landscaped yard 20 feet in width containing at least 80 plant units for each 100 feet of property line are required. The applicant is responsible for planting one half of this buffer yard. As stated above, the majority of the trees proposed are in the required buffer yard area. The applicant has provided 540 plant units over approximately 700 feet of property line, greatly exceeding the minimum requirement. e Lighting. A photometric plan has been submitted for the site. This plan indicates that no glare exceeding one footcandle will spill over onto the adjacent right-of- way or adjacent properties. The maximum footcandle reading along the east property line, adjacent to Autumn Ridge, is 0.2. Any wall mounted lighting shall require a full cutoff fixture. Signage. In the case of a building where there are two or more uses and which, by generally understood and accepted definitions, is considered to be a shopping center or shopping mall, a conditional use permit may be granted to the entire building in accordance to an overall site plan indicating their size, location, and height of all signs presented to the Planning Commission. A maximum of 5% of the gross area of the front silhouette shall apply to the principal building where the aggregate allowable sign area is equitably distributed among the several businesses. For purposes of determining the gross area of the silhouette of the principal building, the silhouette shall be defined as that area within the outline drawing of the principal building as viewed from the front lot line or from the related public street(s). The front fa9ades of the two-story office buildings are approximately 4,370 square feet in area each. Therefore, each two-story building is allowed 219 square feet of wall signage. The applicant is proposing seven signs each 31 square feet in area for a total of 217 square feet of wall signage per building. The signage proposed is within the parameters of the ordinance. e The front facades of the one story plus mezzanine buildings are 3,620 square feet each. Therefore, each of these buildings is allowed 181 square feet of signage. 3 Planning Commission Agenda - 08/07/07 The applicant is proposing approximately 178 square feet of wall signage for the building. Again, the signage proposed is within the parameters of the ordinance. e In addition to wall signage, the applicant is proposing two monument signs, one in the northeast comer of the site and one in the northwest comer of the site. These signs will contain placards for up to six tenants. Said signs are each 96 square feet in area and 15.33 feet in height, for a total of 192 square feet of signage. The speed limit on School Boulevard is 45 miles per hour, allowing a freestanding sign up to 150 square feet in area and 26 feet in height. The applicant exceeds the maximum allowance by 42 feel. Flexibility is being requested on the signage requirement as part ofthe PUD. The applicant is not proposing any pylon signs for the site, and the proposed wall signage is under the allotted area. Therefore, this flexibility may be appropriate Access and Circulation. The site has one access point extending south from School Boulevard. The access is 40 feet in width, excluding the island, with adequate space for turn lanes. All internal drive lanes are proposed at 24 feet in width, wide enough to accommodate two-way traffic. The applicant is proposing a drive aisle width of approximately 50 feet between the northernmost parking stalls and the proposed "feature." The proposed width in this location appears to be excessive. While a wide drive aisle may be necessary in this location to accommodate vehicles backing out of parking stalls, staff recommends that the applicant extend the center plaza to the north to reduce the width. Extending the plaza further north will provide additional green space for the site, and allow the applicant to provide additional landscaping in this center island . Pedestrian access will be accommodated by a concrete sidewalk running along the front of each building. Crosswalks are proposed to connect the east side of the site to the west side of the site. Crosswalks are also proposed to connect the southernmost building to the remainder of the site and the center plaza. An existing pathway is located east of the subject site, within the Autumn Ridge Development. Staff recommends that the applicant provide a connection to this pathway. Specifically, staff recommends that the applicant extend the sidewalk proposed to cross through the center ofthe site and connect this to the existing pathway. The extension of this sidewalk may require the applicant to relocate the proposed trash enclosure. It is also recommended that the applicant connect the internal sidewalk system to the sidewalk running along the south side of School Boulevard. This connection is recommended from the eastern sidewalk loop, which runs in front of buildings two and three. Connecting these pathways would enhance the amenities of the site, as required by PUD. Building Design. The applicant has submitted elevations for both building styles. The elevations indicate that the buildings will be constructed primarily of brick with CMU foundations and standing seam metal roofs. Earthtones will be utilized for the primary fayade materials on all buildings. Each unit in the one story plus mezzanine buildings will contain a separate entrance highlighted by glass e 4 Planning Commission Agenda - 08/07/07 e coverage with a dormer on the mezzanine level. The back side of these buildings will contain some glass coverage, and no vertical details. Staff recommends that the applicant add vertical details or other architectural elements to break up the fayade on the back side of each building. This is of particular concern where these buildings abut the Autumn Ridge development. The two-story buildings are of a similar design. However, only one entrance is provided, at the center of the building. Moderate glass coverage is provided for both floors, on the front and back side of the building. However, staff is again concerned with the lack of visual interest on the back side ofthe two-story buildings. Staff recommends that the applicant provide vertical details, or step back a portion of the building to break up the fayade and roofline. Three detached trash enclosures are proposed on site, one each on the south, east, and west sides of the site. The proposed materials for these structures have not been provided. Staff recommends that all trash enclosures be required to match the color and materials of the principal structures. Grading and Drainage. Regarding the grading and drainage plan submitted, the City Engineer and consulting engineer from WSB have reviewed the plans and provided comments. Comments from the City Engineer may be found attached as Exhibit K, and comments from WSB may be found attached as Exhibit J. e Utilities. Regarding the utility plan submitted the City Engineer and consulting engineer from WSB have reviewed the plans and provided comments. Comments from the City Engineer may be found attached as Exhibit K, and comments from WSB may be found attached. as Exhibit J. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS. Regarding the request for a Conditional Use Permit for Development Stage Planned Unit Development approval and Preliminary Plat approval for five multi- tenant office buildings, the City has the following options: A. Motion to recommend approval of the Development Stage Planned Unit Development and Preliminary Plat approval, based on a finding that the proposed use is consistent with the performance standards of the B-4 District, subject to the conditions outlined in Exhibit Z. B. Motion to recommend denial of the Conditional Use Permit for Development Stage Planned Unit Development approval and the Preliminary Plat, based on a finding that the proposed use is not consistent with the intent ofthe B-4 District, and the use may not be supported by the site. e 5 Planning Commission Agenda - 08/07/07 RECOMMENDATION e Quad Development is seeking Development Stage PUD approval and Preliminary Plat approval for a five building, multi-tenant office development. The applicant is seeking flexibility on parking and signage as part ofthe PUD. The overall project is consistent with the performance requirements of the B-4 District. The applicant is proposing a significant amount of landscaping and quality buildings with attractive front facades. Staff is recommending minor improvements to the building design and landscape plan, as well as an addition to the sidewalk system in exchange for flexibility via Planned Unit Development. The overall project design is generally consistent with the intent ofPUD, and therefore staffrecommends approval, subject to the conditions outlined in Exhibit Z.

ARCHITECTS RECE\VED jUl - 2. 11107 Quad Development Monticello, Minnesota Fee Title Property Owner: Quad Development 12 Division Street Buffalo, MN 55313 Applicant's Name: Rick Scott Scott Builders 12 Division Street Buffalo, MN 55313 Architect: Tom Moorse HTG Architects 9300 Hennepin Town Road Eden Prairie, MN 55347 Civil Engineer: Mark Jaster Anderson Engineering of Minnesota 13400 15m Avenue North, Suite B Plymouth, MN 55441 Project Description and Purpose: Quad Development proposes to build 5 structures totaling over 51,000 s.f. on 4.5 acres of land along School Boulevard, directly east of the existing Wal-Mart. The buildings would contain a combination of office and office/showroom tenants. The development would form a nice transition in land use from the retail component (Wal-Mart) on the east and the townhome development to the west. This vision for this project is to create a "community" of businesses in a park-like setting. The buildings are oriented to face each other - with a loop drive that allows customers to easily find the business they are seeking. The buildings are of two varieties - Type 1 - three buildings that total 8,500 s.f. each and contain a full first floor and a partial mezzanine. Type 2 - two buildings that total 12,800 s.f. each and contain office space on two full floors. The architecture of the buildings match - they will use the same materials and features to create a unified development. A feature at the entrance to the development is yet to be developed, but the owner would like a signature piece such as a fountain. or flags. or plantings that would welcome visitors to the businesses. Comprehensive Plan, Zoning and the PUD Process: The proposed development matches the city's current zoning and comprehensive plan. The B-4 Regional Business District allows us to have tenants such as an insurance agency, real estate company, or an employment agency that we see as potential uses for these buildings. Again we feel this development would help to transition from the retail on the west to the townhomes on the east side of the site. The PUD Process works perfectly for us, as it allows us to develop multiple buildings on the same parcel. We believe this project will make a valuable addition to the City of Monticello.

We would offer the following comments: e Sheet C I o The engineers should check the labeling of the easements south of the proposed property line. It appears that either the easement is drawn on the wrong location or the pipe is drawn on the wrong location because the pipe does not exist within the easement. Sheet C2 o The island design that is shown on drawing is narrower than is a city standard. Please take a look at the city detail plates for an acceptable design standard. o In the intersection there is a large amount of open pavement area located just west of the entrance. It may be advisable to extend the curb on one of more of the islands to narrow up the large expanse of pavement area. It may also be possible that additional parking stalls could be created in this location to elevate the shortage. o It may be a good idea to connect the sidewalk system within the property to the pathway located within the Autumn Ridge Development. o Please show how the city will access the sanitary sewer manhole located behind building 4. Sheet C3 o Please show the storm sewer on the grading plan so it is easily identifiable as to where the storm sewer is located. e o Consider adding gutters to the roof so that runoff is contained on site. I would be concerned with runoff from buildings 1, 2, 4 and 5 leaving the site, particularly on the west side. Minneaoolis I St. Cloud Equal Opportunity Employer Letter to Northwest Associated Consultants Page 2 of 2 e o Currently there is only a 1.2 foot overflow located between buildings 3 and 4. The positive overflow in this area should be 2-3 feet from the lowest opening. o Grading is shown behind the property line on the south side of the property. This will need to be within a slope easement provided by Wal- Mart. o It does not appear that the area south of the property line is graded to drain to the pond. The proposed Wal-Mart grading plan should be evaluated to see if this was graded according to approved plans. Sheet C4 o There are two water surfaces shown on the east side of the lot. Please verify whether both of these services are available for use. If one is to remain unused, we may want to have it abandoned or add a hydrant, depending on the size of the service. o There is also a water service shown on the west side of the lot. If that water service is available, it may be preferable to connect the water main to that service to provide some looping from multiple service locations. o If these buildings are intended to be sold to individual property owners, you will need to have .. individual services for each one of the for sale units. This item will need to be clarified prior to ., construction. o Provide storm sewer sizes and drainage cales for the proposed design. o The footing adjacent to the sanitary sewer line will need to be over depth to allow for future reconstruction of the sanitary sewer system. This will need to be evaluated with the city engineer but may need to be in the range of 9-10 foot deep from the surface. Please give me a call at 763-287-7190 if you have any questions or comments regarding this letter. Sincerely, ~;4~ Bret A.

REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND Over the past few weeks, City officials and staff members have received a number of inquiries as to the City's ability to regulate group homes, specifically in single-family neighborhoods. Below is information pulled from State Statute and other legal sources regarding the City's authority on this matter. The City Attorney will obviously need to provide an opinion on this item. However, after a review of the materials available, it is staff's opinion that the City has only very liInited control in relationship to regulation of group homes. Minnesota statute's Municipal Planning Act and the federal Civil Rights ActlFair Housing Act prohibit discriInination in housing for these types of uses. Additionally, the statute outlines extensive regulations for group homes themselves, in terms of definition, permittingllicensing through the County, records, reporting, etc. Many municipalities have challenged various aspects of both the federal and state regulations and have not been successful. However, the City of St. Paul was able to gain some leverage through regulation of the distance between homes. The summary of that case is included below. After this decision, the state statute was written to allow cities of the first class to regulate location of group homes by distance in certain circumstances. Some metro-area cities have, or are, considering passing codes of a similar nature, even though they are not cities of the first class. This is done with the assumption that they will be challenged. The City Attorney has been asked to provide an opinion on the matter as a whole, feedback on the possibility of Monticello enacting a distance oflocation ordinance, and the requirement for group homes to follow regulations specific to their district of location. (For example, by state law, a group home for 6 or fewer persons may be located in an R-l single-family neighborhood. Are they required to meet all other applicable zoning designations, including those for parking, etc.?) An update of the I Planning Commission Agenda - 08/07/07 e attorney's opinion will be made available to the Council and Commission. SUPPORTING DATA A. Applicable Minnesota Statutes Information State law precludes the regulation of certain types of group homes by municipal zoning ordinances. Minn. Stat. ~462.357, Subd. 6a, of the Municipal Planning Act "It is the policy of this state that disabled persons and children should not be excluded by municipal zoning ordinances or other land use regulations from the benefits of normal residential surroundings. For the purposes of subdivisions 6a through 9. "person" has the meaning given in section 245A.02, subdivision I I. " Minn. Stat. ~462.357, Subd. 7, of the Municipal Planning Act e "A state licensed residential facility or a housing with services establishment registered under chapter 144D serving six or fewer persons. a licensed day care facility serving 12 or fewer persons, and a group family day care facility licensed under Minnesota Rules. parts 9502.0315 to 9502.0445 to serve 14 or fewer children shall be considered a permitted single family residential use of property for the purposes of zoning. except that a residential facility whose primary purpose is treat juveniles who have violated criminal statutes relating to sex offenses or have been adjudicated delinquent on the basis of conduct in violation of criminal statutes relating to sex offenses shall not be considered a permitted use. " A licensed day care facility serving 12 or fewer persons and a group family day care facility licensed under Minnesota Rules to serve 14 or fewer children are additional categories of group homes that are considered permitted single family residential uses of property for the purposes of zoning, pursuant to Minn. Stat. ~462.357, Subd. 7 of the Municipal Planning Act and Minn. Stat. S245A.II, Subd. 2 of the Human Services Licensing statute. e In addition, a state licensed residential facility serving from 7 through 16 persons, or a licensed day care facility serving from 13 through 16 persons shall be considered a permitted multifamily residential use of property for the purposes of zoning pursuant to Minn. Stat. S462.357, Subd. 8 of the Municipal Planning Act and Minn. Stat. S245A.II, Subd. 3, of the Human Services Licensing statute. As to this type of facility, the City "may require a conditional use permit. .. in order to assure proper maintenance and operation of a facility, provided that no conditions shall be imposed on the facility which are more restrictive than those imposed on other conditional uses... of residential property in the same zones, unless the additional conditions are necessary to protect the health and safety of the residents of the residential facility..." (Minn. Stat. ~462.357, Subd. 8, and Minn. Stat.s245A.II, Subd. 3) 2 Planning Commission Agenda - 08/07/07 Minn. Stat. ~245All, Subd. 4 of the Human Services Licensing Act e "In determining when to grant a license, the commissioner shall specifically consider the population, size, land use plan, availability of community services, and the number and size of existing licensed residential programs in the town, municipality, or county in which the applicant seeks to operate a residential program. The commissioner shall not grant an initial license to any residential program if the residential program will be within 1320 feet ofan existing residential program unless one of the following conditions apply: (I) the existing residential program is located in a hospital licensed by the commissioner of health (2) the town, municipality or county zoning authority grants the residential program a conditional use or special use permit; (3) the program serves six or fewer persons and is not located in a city of the first class; or (4) the program is foster care." B. Applicable Federal Statutes Information The Fair Housing Amendments Act. The original Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968,42 U.S.C. SS 3601-3619) banned, among other things, housing discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, and national origin, and provided for a variety of enforcement mechanisms. The Act was amended in 1974 and again in 1988, The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (the "FHAA form the source of the principal restrictions on local control of group homes. See PL 100-430, 102 Stat. 1619 (1988), 42 U.S.C. 3601, et sea. e The United States Supreme Court had held in City ofCleburne v. Cleburne Living Center. Inc., 473 U.S. 432 (1985), that the Equal Protection Clause prohibits a city from requiring a special use permit for group homes for mentally retarded persons, when such permits are not required for other similar residential uses. The Fair Housing Amendments Act made it unlawful for anyone of a number of covered entities, including local govemments, to discriminate in the sale or rental, or to otherwise make unavailable or deny, a dwelling to any buyer or renter because of a handicap. The Act defines discrimination to include not only traditional discriminatory practices, but also "refusal to make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices, or services, when such accommodations may be necessary to afford such person equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling." 42 U.S.c. 3604(f)(3)(B). While localities need not do everything humanly possible to accommodate a disabled person, the "reasonable accommodation" requirement imposes affirmative duties to modify local requirements when they discriminate against the handicapped. Liddy v. Cisneros, 823 F. Supp. 164, 176 (S.D. NY 1993). e 3 Planning Commission Agenda - 08/07/07 e The Act defines handicap as: (1) a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more of[aJ person's major life activities, (2) a record of having such an impairment, or (3) being regarded as having such an impairment. Although there are exceptions to this definition, including those "whose tenancy would constitute a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals or whose tenancy would result in substantial physical damage to the property of others" (42 U.S.C. 3604(f)(9)), and people afflicted with the "current, illegal use of or addiction to a controlled substance" (42 U.S.C. S 3602(h)), handicap does include people who take drugs legally, or people who were once, but no longer are, illegal drug users. United States v. Southern Management Corv., 955 F.2d 914,919-23 (4th Cir. 1992). C. EXCERPT: Group Homes: Local Control and Relmlation Versus Federal and State Fair Housm!!: Laws. Ted H. Gathe e "The deinstitutionalization of persons with mental and physical handicaps has rapidly occurred throughout the country in the last several decades. This has resulted in a proliferation of alternate living arrangements commonly referred to as "group homes". Such homes allow handicapped individuals to live together in a residential setting with the advantages of a family like structure. For many such individuals, group living arrangements are beneficial for integrating into society as well as economically necessary. The rapid increase of group homes has been controversial. In the past, a number of municipalities took a "not in my backyard" approach in regulating such housing often bowing to local neighborhood opposition by restricting their location, placement and operation. For a variety of reasons including the actions of some local governments, Congress, in 1988, amended the Fair Housing Act. [Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. S 3601 et seq.J A. Overview of 1988 Amendments to the Fair Housing Act The amendments to the Fair Housing Act ("FHAA") prohibit discrimination against people with disabilities and on account of familial status in public as well as private housing. The 1988 Act also strengthened existing enforcement mechanisms by providing HUD with the power to refer cases involving breaches of conciliation agreements to the Department of Justice. e In construing the Act, courts have given it broad application in order to prohibit discriminatory housing practices, and have required "a generous construction. . . in 4 Planning Commission Agenda - 08/07/07 order to carry out a policy that Congress considered to be of the highest priority." [ United States v. Columbus Country Club, 915 F.2d 877, 883 (3rd Cir. 1990).] e It is possible for municipalities to violate the Act in two different areas. First, the original Fair Housing Act invalidates "any law of a State, a political subdivision, or any other such jurisdiction that purports to require or permit any action that would be a discriminatory housing practice under this [Act]." [42 U.S.C. !} 3615.] The Federal Courts have repeatedly interpreted this provision to prohibit municipal zoning and land use policies that affect the availability of housing for individuals protected by the Act. [See, e.g., Metropolitan Housing Dev. Corp. v. Village of Arlington Heights, 558 F.2d 1283 (7th Cir. 1977).] Second, the 1988 Amendments specifically define discrimination against the handicapped to include "a refusal to make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices, or services, when such accommodations may be necessary to afford such person equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling." [ 42 U.S.C. !} 3604 (f)(3)(B).] B. Definition of Handicapped The FHAA adopted the definition of "handicap" used in section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. [See 29 D.S.C. !} 701-794.] "Handicap" with respect to a person means that such person has a "physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities; a record of such an impairment; or is regarded as having such an impairment." [ 24 C.F.R. !} 100.201; see also 42 U.C.S. !} 3602 (h).] "Major life activities" include caring for oneself, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning and working. Thus, any person suffering from a physiological, neurological or mental disorder or disability of any type will be protected by the Act. This broad application is further expanded by including individuals who are perceived to be handicapped either by appearance or because of a history of some impairment covered by the Act. e C. Application of the FHAA to Zoning and Land Use Regulations Prior to passage of the FHAA, the Supreme Court had already outlawed overt discrimination against the handicapped. [See City ofCleburne v. Cleburne Living Center, 473 U.S. 432, 105 S. Ct. 3249 (1985).] In Clebume, the Court held that a requirement of a special use permit for group homes for the mentally retarded and not for any other type of commercial living arrangement such as nursing homes and boarding houses violated equal protection because there was no rational basis for the separate requirement. Thus, it would appear that Congress' intent in passing the 1988 Amendments was to provide broader legal protection to handicapped individuals in addition to prohibiting intentional discrimination. The legislative history of the FHAA clearly indicates that Congress intended that municipal land use as well as health and safety regulations comply with its e 5 Planning Commission Agenda - 08/07/07 e provisions. "The Act is intended to prohibit the application of special requirements through land use regulations, restrictive covenants, and conditional or special use permits that have the effect oflimiting the ability of such individuals to live in the residence of their choice in the community." [H.R. Rep. No . 711, 100th Cong., 2d Sess., reprinted in 1988 U.S.C .C.A.N. 2173, 2185 ("House Report").] What is less clear is the application of facially neutral laws that may have some effect on the siting and operation of group homes. An example of this is the exemption in the FHAA which permits "reasonable. . . restrictions regarding the maximum number of occupants permitted to occupy a dwelling." [ 42 U.S.C. g 3602(h).] In a recent decision, however, the U.S. Supreme Court has brought more clarity to this issue. (See discussion in Section III (B) (I) below.) Because the Act provides additional protection to the handicapped, their ability to successfully litigate against what are viewed as restrictive zoning and land use laws has increased dramatically. Under the FHAA, litigants need not argue that zoning and land use restrictions fail the rational relation test. Nor are they required to show discriminatory intent in order to invalidate a challenged ordinance. Such litigants need only show that restrictions in question discriminate against them because of their status. Although the language in the Act is somewhat ambiguous, in a series of decisions, the courts have applied anyone of three tests to scrutinize such regulations. These include: I) discriminatory intent, 2) discriminatory impact and 3) failure to make reasonable accommodation. e In construing municipal regulations challenged under the pre-1988 Fair Housing Act, the courts frequently included an analysis of such regulations' discriminatory intent against and discriminatory effect on protected classes. Today, however, under the FHAA such cases usually find only discriminatory effect because municipalities rarely enact laws that overtly discriminate against a particular type of use or user. Case Law Example Excerpt from Article: In an early reported decision involving group homes under the FHAA, a federal district court upheld the refusal of the City ofS1. Paul, Minnesota to renew special use permits for three of plaintiffs group homes, because such homes would violate a local zoning provision requiring spacing between each facility. e Familystyle afSt.Paul, Inc. v. City afSt. Paul [Familystyle ofS1. Paul, Inc. v. City of S1. Paul, 728 F. Supp. 1396 ().] addressed the appropriateness ofa spacing requirement in a Minnesota statute applicable to facilities which provide residential services to handicapped individuals. In order to obtain a license for a residential program, applicants had to comply with several conditions, including a 1,320 foot spacing requirement between existing residential facilities. These special conditions were in place to, "effectuate the Minnesota policy of deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill," and to "allow them the benefits of normal residential surroundings." [Id . at 1398.] The CityofS1. Paul Zoning Code also provided for the minimum distance requirement of 1,320 feet between zoning lots for community residential facilities. 6 Planning Commission Agenda - 08/07/07 Familystyle, which provided residential living homes for the handicapped, purchased properties in St. Paul in order to operate new facilities. However, three of its permits were denied on the grounds that the facilities did not meet the 1,320 foot spacing requirement of the zoning code. On appeal to the Planning Commission, FamiIystyle argued that the spacing requirement had the effect of reducing the number of residents it could house, limiting a handicapped person's choice of where to live, and thus was invalid as a discriminatory housing practice under section 3615 of the FHAA. e In response, the City denied the charge and asserted that federal, state, and city laws all had the same purpose, i.e. increasing the housing options available to all handicapped people by integrating them into the mainstream of the community, through a policy of deinstitutionalization. The City further argued that, even if spacing requirements were discriminatory, they were valid because handicapped people are not a "suspect class" under Cleburne v. Cleburne Living Center; [ 473 U.S. 432 (1985).] and second, that even under strict scrutiny, the policy of deinstitutionalization and prevention of "ghettoization" is a compelling government interest which is narrowly tailored to achieve its ends through zoning dispersal. The court agreed with the City. In its holding, the court explained that, "[t]here is a significant difference between laws which directly regulate individuals and laws which regulate institutions." It explained: Surely the Congress intended states to maintain some control over such facilities. The spacing requirements are a part of Minnesota's licensing process and the zoning code [ofSt. Paul] builds on those requirements in implementing its system. Because the handicapped are not directly prohibited from residing at these residences, and because states must maintain some authority over such institutions, the state and local laws are not "preempted" by section 3615. [ Id. at 1401.] e Next, the court analyzed the spacing requirement to determine whether it had a discriminatory effect within the meaning of Title VIII and the equal protection clause of the Constitution. In holding that the spacing requirement was not discriminatory under a rational basis standard of scrutiny, the court concluded that because the Attorney General, the Legislature, the courts, Congress and the state of Minnesota had all promoted the policy of integration of the handicapped into the mainstream of the community, St. Paul's dispersion requirement was not discriminatory. In finding that dispersal furthers a compelling government interest, the court reasoned, Forcing new residential facilities to locate at a distance from other facilities by its very terms prevents the clustering of homes which could lead the mentally ill to cloister themselves and not interact with the community mainstream. Because the state and local laws prohibit this clustering effect, they do further the goal of integrating the handicapped into the community. [ Id. at 1404.] e 7 Planning Commission Agenda - 08/07/07 . Last, the court was unwilling to find that a distance requirement ofless than 1,320 feet would be a less drastic means of attaining the policy of deinstitutionalization, thereby finding the city zoning law narrowly drawn to promote a compelling government interest. On appeal, the Eighth Circuit affirmed the district courts findings that the challenged state laws and local ordinances were not preempted by the FHAA. It noted that, "Congress did not intend to abrogate a state's power to determine how facilities for the mentally ill must meet licensing standards," and that, "the challenged state laws and city ordinance do not affect or prohibit a retarded or mentally ill person from purchasing, renting, or occupying a private residence or dwelling." [ 923 F.2d 94.J Conclusions of article excerpt: In interpreting the Fair Housing Act, it is clear that the federal judiciary including the Supreme Court will not tolerate restrictive definitions of "family" masked as maximum occupancy limitations, where they actually serve to define who constitutes a family, rather than to cap the number of individuals per dwelling in the interest of public safety. . Additionally, the courts have generally prohibited licensing and registration schemes on the basis that the permitting process has been misused by prejudicially denying permits to build and locate group homes in residential neighborhoods. Licensing requirements have been found to violate the rights of handicapped individuals to "reasonable accommodations" in zoning practices. However, conditional use permits issued not to discriminate against the handicapped, but to protect their safety as well as the safety of the community in general, may be valid in situations where handicapped individuals with well defined special needs require adequate supervision, and a condition of the issuance of the permit is the assurance of that adequate oversight. Dispersion or spacing requirements once seen as one possible remaining method of municipal land use regulations in this area are also unlikely to be upheld by the courts despite the acknowledged importance of community integration of the handicapped. Good public policy, however, dictates that legitimate state and local government regulations, when performed in the name of public health, safety and community welfare, should not be preempted by the Fair Housing Act. Unreasonable government actions born out of outmoded stereotypes against the disabled, disguised as legitimate land use regulations, will be suspect and will not pass the constitutional and statutory standards prohibiting discrimination." . 8
