MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING - MONTICELLO PLANNING COMMISSION Wednesday, September 20, 1989 - 6:00 p.m. Members Present: Dick Martie, Mori Malone, Richard Carlson, Cindy Lem, Dan MCConnon. 1. Consideration of conditional use permit which would allow expansion of a shopping center in a B -J zone. After the public hearing was opened, Gordon Orschlager from KKE Architects reviewed the proposed site plan. orachlager reviewed the [wilding layout, landscaping plan, and parking design. David Putnam of Merela Associates, Inc., reviewed the engineering issues pertaining to the development. Putnam noted that a ponding area is planned for the rear of the structure which is designed to handle the run off originating from the roof of the structure and the rear of the parcel. Putnam indicated that the water surface will originate from the proposed 7th Street right-of-way and that sanitary sewer service lines from the addition will connect to an existing line at the intersection of Walnut and 7th Street. Assistant Administrator O'Neill noted that the City Engineer has had some concerns regarding the management of storm water that is being displaced by the KMart building addition. O'Neill went on to indicate that the City Engineer is completing calculations that will provide the City with a better understanding of the area drainage pattern so as to assure us that the drainage plan and storm water management plan proposed will be sufficient. O'Neill went on to indicate that the storm water management plan for this area and its impact on the site plan will not be understood until the information is gathered. It is expected that the information will be available to the City Council at their meeting on Monday, September 25. David Putnam indicated that he would be in contact with the City Engineer and coordinate his storm water design work with the work being conducted by the City Engineer. At this point in the meeting John Uban provided a site plan review and noted his ohaervations regarding the site plan and its impact on Monticello in general. Uhan stressed the importance of designing a good road system connecting the 7th Street shopping area to Broadway. He noted that continuation of Minnesota to Broadway should be considered in order to achieve the proper traffic flow from Broadway to the 7th Street shopping area. Uban noted that the addition will have a significant visual impact on the residential areas north of the development. Uban recommended that this impact be buffered by landscape plantings or by creating a deeper green area between 7th Street right-of-way and the parking area or by eliminating access to the apartment and using the 7th Street right-of-way as an obstruction to site lines between the apartment and the K -tart. Uban also indicated that the rear of the K -Mart should be landscaped so as to soften the impact of the loading docks and flat surface of the structure. It was Uban's suggestion that the retaining pond be designed so as to allow for areas on the perimeter of the pond to be used for planting areas. Uban noted that the traffic flow and parking plan proposed to straight forward and workable. However, he had come concern that the vehicle stacking arrangement proposed could use improvement from a public a Special Planning Commission Minutes - 9/20/89 safety standpoint and that it might make sense to improve the plan by providing additional vehicle stacking capacity. At this point in the meeting a general discussion ensued. Dan Mcaonnon asked Tom DuFresne of Lincoln Companies why K -Mart is locating in Monticello. Tam Dufresne noted that the K-Mrt is the largest retailer in the U.B. and they intend on staying that way. They have sophisticated systems that provide them information that allows them to enter markets that they know will be profitable to their company. Dufresne also noted that K -Mart has the capacity to fund operating deficits early on. It may be that initially the K -Mart will not be profitable. K -Mart's decision, however, takes the long term into account and it is their view that Monticello is in a strategic position to became a regional shopping area and that is the primary reason why they have elected to locate in Monticello rather than Buffalo. After general discussion, a motion was made by Dan McOonnon and seconded by Richard Martie to approve the conditional use permit allowing a shopping center to expand in the B-3 zone subject to the following conditions: A. Approval of site drainage plans by the City Engineer. Excavation permit provided only after site drainage plans have been approved. B. In the event that public improvements are installed privately, all improvements, specifications, and construction must be approved by the City Engineer. C. Lincoln Companies' dedication of land to City which is necessary for 7th Street alignment. D. City acquisition of utility easement areas as defined by the Building Inspector and City Engineer. E. Alternate site plan approved contingent on meeting or exceeding standards associated with site plan presented to Planning Commission at the meeting of September 20, 1989. John Uban and City staff charged with evaluating and judging alternative site plan relative to performance standards established with initial plan. F. Staff and planning consultant approval of landscaping plans. G. Planning consultant and City Engineer approval of revised parking plan. Motion based on the finding that the conditional use permit to consistent with the comprehensive plan, geographic area involved, character of the area, the need has been sufficiently demonstrated, and that the development will not have a negative impact on the adjoining land values. Motion panned unanimously. 0 Special Planning Commission Minutes - 9/20/89 At this point in the meeting, a general discussion regarding the 7th Street alignment issues ensued. After discussion, motion was wade by Dan Mcoonnon and seconded by Cindy Lem to support the straight alignment of 7th Street based on the fact that 7th Street when straightened will provide room necessary to provide better screening between commercial and residential uses. In addition, the potential for the highest and best use for the property between 7th Street and the freeway is made possible, as more land is available for larger regional retailers and the straightened alignment will result in the elimination of the two residential structures which represent non -conforming uses in the 8-3 zone. Motion carried unanimously. There being no further discussion, meeting adjourned. Jett O'Neill Assistant Administrator 0 Planning Commission Agenda - 10/3/89 5. A variance rec.L to allow a detached garacLie to be constructed within the eine yarn setoacx requirement. Applicant, Plorence Tapper. (G.A.) A. AEPE tENCE AND BACKGROUND: Mrs . Plorence Tapper, represented by her two sons, is proposing construct a detached garage within the side yard setback requirement. lihes:the existing house was built on the lot it was built within 14 ft. of the west side property line. By being built that close to the property line there currently exists within that 14 ft. a 10' wide driveway to service this property, with the driveway ending near the rear of the house. The property currently has an 8' R 14' storage shed to the rear of the property near the northwest corner. The applicant is proposing to construct a 14' or a 16' wide by 22' deep detached garage that would be placed within 3' or 4' from the west side property line and within 6' of the existing house. We have run into this situation before with someone trying to build a garage, either attached or detached, within a reasonable distance to their house and having to apply for a variance to be allowed to encroach within a side setback line. The proposed garage as shown on the enclosed site plan will still have the minimum 3' separation from property line to hard surfaced driveway and a 3' green area separationis required by ordinance. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. To approve the variance request to allow a detached garage to be constructed within the side yard setback requirement. 2. To deny the variance request to allow a detached garage to be constructed within the side yard setback requirement. C. STABP REO0MMENDATION: Continually we may encounter this variance request within the inner In1 city as the houses were so placed an the lot with no regards to detached r ✓ possible expansion or construction of an attached or garage or an attached or detached addition to these residential structures. We Cr>' have to consider taking them on a case by case example and some rationale for approval of the variance in this case should be the i ,• hardehip that to created with the minimum 14' of separation of the house to the west property line. Mrs. Tapper is proposing to build a d minimus size garage to accomodate her automobile and have room for some 5 I inside storage. It will require some type of maneuvering to get into the proposed garage from the existing driveway, an it is not a straight shot from the driveway into this proposed garage. 1 + D.

A variance rest to allow an attached garage to be constructed within the front yand setback requirement. Applicant: Lawrence and Lynn G9ntner. 1G.A.) The Gantners are proposing to be allowed to construct an attached garage within the front yard setback requirement. The proposed garage addition could so be constructed on their property to not require a variance request in that they could go with the same roof configuration as the existing house is and still construct a garage within the minimum setback requirements. The houses, for approximately one and a half blocks on this aide of the street, were built in a very similar nature, being simple two bedroom split entry homes. There is very little change other than colors painted to offset the style of house that was chosen for this area. The Gantners are proposing to encroach 2' into the front yard setback to allow for the construction of a roof line contrasting to the existing roof line of this and other houses in the area. The method that the Gantners haves chosen is more expensive than the traditional attached garage with the same roof line that the existing house has on it. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Approve the variance request to allow an attached garage to be constructed within the front yard setback requirement. 2. Deny the variance request to allow an attached garage to be constructed within the front yard setback requirement. C. STAPP RECOl4ENDATION: City staff recommends approval of the variance request to allow this garage to be constructed within the front yard setback requirement. Although this may be contrary to the intent of the variance request, we recommend approval since such change in design may bring character to the neighborhood. The encroachment is very minimal in that 2' and it does allow for a different type of roof line to be constructed to meet the style of the garage with the extra depth that the Gantners are proposing.

A simgle subdivision request to allow 2 R-2 (single and two family resiaential) lots to be resubdivided into 2 residential lots. A conditional use request to allow a 4-plex in an R-2 (single and two family residential) zone. A variance request to allow a resubdivided lot to have less than the minimm lot square footage to allow the existing residential structure to be converted into a 4 -plea. Applicant, Brad and Cindy Pyle. (G.A.) A. REFERENM AND BACKGROUND. Bieple subdivision request. Brad and Cindy Pyle are proposing to resubdivide two existing inner city existing platted lots into two new lots with the same configuration having the aama amount of lot square footage except they would have additional lot frontage and less lot depth than the current Iota as they are platted. It is not unco mann to find inner city lots of this nature which can be resubdivided the other way to meet the minimum requirements of the ordinance with the exception of the minimum lot square footage that is required, 12,000 sq. ft. today, where when these lots were platted they only needed 10,890 sq. ft., or 10,000 was the sq. ft. requirement. The property listed as Parcel A and Parcel B do have the minimum drainage and utility easements that we do have by today's standards, residential Iota when these are platted having these recorded with them. The Pyles have no objection to drainage and utility easements being placed on Parcel A and Parcel B and have them recorded if such subdivision is approved. There are three possible conditions that would be considered subject to the approval of this request. They are as follows: 1. The parcel, if approved, be recorded within 30 days after the October 10th City Council meeting. 2. The drainage and utility easements be drawn up on a second recordable document to be recorded along with the recording of this simple subdivision. 3. The Parcel A, which is the northerly one half of these 2 existing lots 3 6 4 of Block 39, original plat addition of the city of Monticello are not served by a water and sewer service into this Parcel A. The condition should be that the owner or/ buyer are made aware that a document be recorded that states that the City is not responsible for providing a water and sewer service up to the property line for Parcel A. Planning Comoaission Agenda 10/3/89 Conditional use request. A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND. Completely disregarding the simple subdivision at this time, and we are only considering a conditional use for this site, we are dealing with two platted lots of record which are the lot by description and by actual measurement is 132.71 ft. of lot frontage by 166.36 ft. of lot depth, with the total square footage accumulating to 22,077 sq. ft..The minimum required lot square footage for a 4-plex would be 10,000 sq. ft. for the first unit, 3,000 sq. ft. for each additional two bedroom unit, and 2,000 sq. ft. of lot area for each addition one bedroom unit. So the total amount of square footage that would be needed for a 4-plex as the Fyles are proposing to renovate the existing structure to accomodate would be 19,000 total square foot of land area, with approximately 3,077 sq. ft. of land area left over the minimum requirement of lot are that is needed. As shown on the enclosed site plan the Pyles have indicated where they would provide additional off street parking space to accomodate the minimum number which are required per unit. The Pyles are showing 5 residential off street parking spaces, of which two would be within the existing garage. They have also showed an option for additional parking spaces which could be created.Rowever, we are suggesting that they not be created, so that we leave as much green area back into this project, if it so be approved. The proposed parking spaces are no different than what we find within our existing residential structures in this area or in new developments in that their direct access out of their garage or out of their parking space is out into a public street which serves the property. Variance request. The reason that you see a variance request tagging along with their simple subdivision and conditional use request is that the tyles have done a considerable amount of research for purchasing this property and are looking at all possible options to accomplish the beat of all worlds. If Parcel B was allowed to be split off from the total lots 4 i 5 we would have a parcel in lot B being less than the minimum 19,000 sq. ft. of lot area that is required. It would have approximately 11,000 sq. ft, of lot area if it was subdivided, therefore requiring the minimum lots square footage variance requested. The same is true in Parcel A if it is allowed to be split off it would be less than the minimum lot square footage that is required today by ordinance and that is 12,000 eq. ft. of lot area where the lot has approximately 11,038 eq. ft. of lot are in Parcel A also. The ultivate request of the Pyles is to be allowed to have a 4-plex on Parcel 8 and to subdivide off Parcel A for a single family residential lot. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTICKS: Simple subdivision request. 1. Approve the simple subdivision request to allow 2 R-2 iaingle and two family residential) zone lots to be tesubdivided into 2 residential lots, with the following conditioner Planning Counmssion Agenda 10/3/89 a. The recording of this simple subdivision be done within 30 days after the October 10th City Council meeting. b. The drainage and utility easements around parcels A b B, as indicated on the certificate of survey, be recorded on a separate document within 30 days after the October 10, 1989 City Council meeting. c. The owner/buyer of parcel A acknowledge that the city of Monticello is not responsible for the installation of a water and sewer utility stub up to the property line, and that this be recorded within 30 days of October 10, 1989 City Council meeting. 2. Deny simple subdivision request to allow 2 R-2 (single and two family residential) lots to be resubdivided into 2 residential lots. Conditional use request. 1. Approve the conditional use request to allow a 4-plex in an R-2 (single and two family residential) zone. 2. Deny the conditional use request to allow a 4-plex in an R-2 (single and two family residential) zone. Variance request. 1. Approve the variance request to allow a resubdivided lot to have less than the minimum lot square footage to allow the existing residential structure to be converted into a 4-plex. 2. Deny the variance request to allow a resubdivided lot to have less than the minimum lot square footage to allow the existing residential structure to be converted into a 4-plex. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATI0N: As you can see, there are two separate issues being requested, one being a simple subdivision request which will require a variance, and the second being a conditional use request also requiring variances. In regards to the simple subdivision request, the Planning Commission and City Council have in the past approved similar type requests when a replatting of two existing lots into a different direction does not alter the square footage of each lot. Its City staff would recommend approval of the siuple subdivision request and the resulting variance that is needed since the lot would be less than our current minimum standards provided the existing structure does not require any additional variances as far as setback distances are concerned. This recommendation is also subject to the three conditions listed above for a simple subdivision requirement. Planning Co mission Agenda 10/3/89 In regards to the second request, if the simple subdivision above is approved, the staff recommends denial of the conditional use request to allow a 4-plex on the remaining newly created parcel. With the sirple subdivision approval, the lot size for the requested 4-plex would only be 11,038 square feet, 7,962 square feet short of the minimim 19,000 square feet required for a 4 -plea. It would appear that the variance requested an the square footage requirement is far too excessive and with a simple subdivision, the existing dwelling should not contain more than two family units. If, on the other hand, the Pyles would prefer to convert the existing dwelling into a 4-plex rather than have an extra lot available for sale, the staff could support the creation of a 4-plex provided that all of the existing property remains intact in one parcel. In other words, if the Applicant desires to have an extra lot for sale, the existing house should only be allowed to be a duplex; but if the applicant would rather have a 4-plex, than the simple subdivision should not be approved. 1n addition, granting a conditional use permit for a 4-plex and requiring the two lots to remain as one lot of record, sufficient land would be available for meeting the minimum parking requirements of our ordinance. As indicated previously, a 4-plex does require eight off-street parking spaces that are supposed to be hard surfaced, which this additional land area could be utilized for if necessary. D.

We do not feel a variance should be granted for a four-plex because it it Is not zoned for a four-plex nor does it meet the necessary requirements needed for a four -plea. We are strongly against this variance request and sincerely hope that as Planning Commission members and Council Members you will uphold the city ordinances and deny this request. We have nothing against the property owner keeping the property as a single and two family residential property as it has been in the past.
