Minutes: Loso made a motion to approve the minutes of June 5, 2006 with the changes made per Kalinowski; seconded by Graeve and passed unanimously. Interim Use Permits: Weyrens stated that the Planning Commission reviews the Interim Use Permits annually. She advised the commissioners that Brandon Kappes, 32 - 1st Avenue SE, no longer has an Interim Use Permit, as he never completed the process last year. She also stated that the only property with any contact over the past year is that of T J Ortmann, 308 - 10th Avenue SE. Loso made a motion to approve the Interim Use Permits as presented; seconded by Lesnick. Utsch administered his rental housing update for the Interim Use properties. He stated the following: . Brandon Kappes, 32 - 1st Avenue SE should be removed from the list of Interim Use Permits, due to the fact that he did not comply last year. . . Linda Hutchinson, 133 - 5th Avenue SE, has not yet had any inspections on her property and, as a result, she must re-apply for an Interim Use Permit. · Patrick Conway, 35 - 2nd Avenue SE, has not followed through with the corrections from his first inspection, which was to be completed by August 1. Utsch spoke with him today and he was to have his inspections scheduled by August 15, 2006 for both this year and for his corrections. According to Rassier, the permits for Hutchinson and Conway should not be held up if the required inspections are completed. Loso withdrew his original motion and Lesnick withdrew her second. Based on prior discussions, the following have had no violations or issues within the past year: · Mike Bader, 101 - 5th Avenue NW · Jim Odegard, 763 College Avenue S · Brian Shields, 321 Cypress Drive The following properties are not in compliance: · Linda Hutchinson, 133 - 5th Avenue SE · Patrick Conway, 35 - 2nd Avenue SE The following property owner had a noise complaint within the past year: · Timothy Ortmann, 308 - 10th Avenue SE Deutz made a motion to approve the Interim Use Permits for Bader, Odegard, and Shields. The motion was seconded by Graeve and passed unanimously. Deutz made a motion to approve both Conway and Hutchinson if they are in compliance by September 1,2006. The motion was seconded by Rassier and passed unanimously. T J Ortmann, 308 - 10th Avenue SE, approached the commissioners to discuss the noise complaint for his property. Deutz questioned Ortmann as to whether or not he was home at the time of the incident, to which Ortmann stated he was not. According to Ortmann, only one of the people involved was living in Draft August?,2006 Page 2 of 3 the house at the time (Adam) and he has since moved out. Deutz advised him that he is responsible for any incidences that occur on the property whether he is there or not. Ortmann advised the Commissioners that Adam no longer lives there. He stated he has two roommates: Ryan Kettenacker and Robert Klatt. When questioned what happens when these types of issues arise, Weyrens stated that there is no policy set up, as there haven't been any issues yet. Utsch suggested that in these types of situations, the property owner be given a probationary period of 6 months. Rassier added that the rental units in town need to respect the neighbors around them. Rassier made a motion to review the Interim Use Permit again in 6months after the probationary period has expired and if there were any violations, the Interim Use Permit would be removed. The motion was seconded by Deutz and passed unanimously. Relating to the rental issue, Loso asked why some rental properties are not kept up. Utsch stated that the rentals are inspected at the time of their yearly inspection or if there is a complaint regarding a specific property. He also stated that they plan to do a better job checking that all items get taken care of. Dennis Stueve, 111 Able Street E, approached the Commissioners to state his concerns with the Kappes residence. Previously, he has applied for an Interim Use Permit; however that has not been re-issued. Stueve stated that he is unhappy with the amount of care that he does for his property, such as the weeds in his yard. Rassier advised Stueve that the City has a weed inspector and he has been working to get these types of yards cleaned up. Recreation Use - Industrial Park: Weyrens indicated that the City has received a request to allow a recreational facility in the Industrial Park. She stated that the property that they are looking to occupy is the former meeting grounds building owned by Dave Mehr. She stated that if the Planning Commission approves this as a permitted use in the Industrial Park, they would be required to get a Special Use Permit. Dean Wick, Outsource Management, approached the Commissioners along with Crystal Heller to represent Bounce, Inc. According to Wick, they have been looking at a lot of different options for the business. Although this space is less than they originally wanted, they feel that this would be a good place for them to start their business. He also mentioned that the County denied their request for space in the St. Joseph Industrial Park East. There will be two party rooms and a bounce arena at the facility in which there will be inflatable kids games. This will be primarily used for children's birthday parties. Heller stated that the children will be anywhere from 3-14 years old. The hours will be as follows: Tuesday - Thursday Noon - 8:00 PM Friday - Saturday Noon - 10:00 PM Sunday Noon - 8:00 PM For a child's party, they are allowed 2 hours in the party room and 1 hour in the bounce arena. 2 hours of the day will be reserved for public time in the arena. Wick indicated that this would be an incubator business and that they plan to grow over the next couple of years. Loso questioned when they plan to move to a larger facility. Wick stated hopefully within 3-5years. Utsch stated that this use would fit as a special use, which would require a public hearing. Deutz stated that although this use is not directly mentioned in the Ordinance, he feels that this would be a good area for a start-up business. Lesnick questioned the signage and they stated that they would have a sign on the front of their building. According to Rassier, this would be a good spot for the business to start-up; however, he stated it might be a better option for use in a recreational zoning district. Loso stated that this is a good area for this business as they have the high ceilings that they need and it would be best to occupy the building rather than leave it vacant. Draft August 7,2006 Page 3 of 3 loso made a motion to set the Public Hearing for a Special Use Permit for this incubator business for September 5, 2006. Lot Split Request - 813 E Minnesota Street: Weyrens stated that there is a lot located near Scherer Trucking that the owners are looking to split. The existing lot is large enough to accommodate the split. She stated that the owners are looking to split the lot East and West; however, the only way the split will work is if it is split North and South. Loso made a motion to approve the North/South Lot Split for 813 E Minnesota Street. The motion was seconded by Kalinowski. Utsch questioned what the lot sizes would be once the lot is split to which Weyrens advised them that those numbers have not yet been determined. Utsch also questioned whether or not there is enough room for the driveways. Charles Burg approached the Council as the property owner requesting the split. He stated that they want to divide the property east and West and provide one lot with access to Minnesota Street and one lot with an easement for a driveway. Weyrens advised Burg that the lot must abut a City street. Graeve agreed with the homeowners stating that one access to Minnesota Street would be safer; however Loso stated that they must comply with the City's Ordinances. Weyrens also advised the Commissioners that the water and sewer were stubbed in for this property in the event that this lot was split. Deutz questioned whether or not there is a minimum lot width that they must have, to which Weyrens stated is 75'. The motion passed unanimously. Ordinance Meetinq: Based on discussion, the meeting to discuss the ordinance amendments is set for August 23,2006 at 7:00. Clinton Villaqe Lots: Loso questioned the sale of the lots in Clinton Village. Weyrens stated that there . were two lots and both were platted and reserved for access to future development. After reviewing the plans for development, these lots are not needed for access roads. Both lots have large easements on them. According to Weyrens, the City had no need to keep the lots. She also mentioned that the adjoining property owners were offered the lots before they were up for sale. Adiourn: Deutz made a motion to adjourn; seconded by Lesnick and passed unanimously. I Attachment: Yes or No REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Interim Use Permit DATE: September 5, 2006 AGENDA ITEM Public Hearing- Interim Use Permit, Owner Occupied Rental Kathryn Kalkman, 209 East'Minnesota Street PREVIOUS ACTION In 2003 the Planning Commission considered the Interim Use request of Kathryn Kalkman to allow an owner occupied rental property in a Rl Zoning District. At the public hearing Kalkman stated thatthey only needed the Interim Use Permit for three years. Therefore, when the IP was issued, it included a sunset of 2006. Therefore, this year the property was not eligible for a rental license. Since that time Kalkman has requested to extend the IP. Since the sunset provision was a contingency, the property owner must complete a new hearing process to continue with an Interim Use Permit. RECOMMENDED PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Provided that Kathryn is residing at the home; recommend the Council approve the Interim Use Permit as requested. COMMENTS/RECOMMENDATIONS In reviewing the police records for the IP term, only one incident has been documented and is included in your packet. The City Office has also received a complaint that Kathryn is no longer residing at the residence as her sister has taken her place.

The request for Interim Use has been submitted by Kathryn Kalkman, 209 East Minnesota Street; St. Joseph MN 56374. Notice of this matter was duly served and published. In consideration of the information presented tothe Planning Commission and its application to the Comprehensive Plan and Ordinances of the City of St. Joseph, the Planning Commission makes the following findings: The proposed use is consistent with the standards for granting an Interim Use Permit, st. Joseph Code of Ordinances 52.07.04 Therefore, based on the above findings, the Planning Commission makes the following recommendation: Approval of the Interim Use Permit to allow an owner occupied rental unit in a R1 Zoning District with the following contingencies: 1. The rental license in non-transferable and if the property is sold or the ownership changes so that the aforementioned no longer owns a 50% or greater interest in the property the Interim Use Permit is null and void. 2. Approval ofthe Rental Housing Inspector 3. The Planning Commission will review the license annually and revoke the license if the property is in violation of the St. Joseph Code of Ordinances. 4.

Public toilet facilities shall be located no more than one story above or below the space required to be provided with public toilet facilities and the path of travel to such facilities shall not exceed a distance of 500 feet. IBC Section 2902.6.3 states "Sanitation facilities required by this chapter may have controlled access, but in all cases shall be maintained available for utilization by those employees, customers, or patrons used to calculate the minimum required facilities. IBC Section 2902.2 Separate facilities is amended by Exception 4 to state "Separate facilities shall not be required in structures or tenant spaces of a Group B or M occupancy not exceeding 2000 gross square feet of floor area. The individual unisex restrooms shall have not less than one water closet, one urinal, and one lavatory." Your use of the property would be classified as Group B occupancy with less than 2000 sJ. Therefore you are required to have a single unisex restroom facility that is available to the public (customers and patrons ). Because of the change in use of the property you will be required to connect to the municipal water supply. Water Availabilitv Charaes (WAC) Retail stores are assigned one WAC unit per 3,000 sJ. Based upon the size of your proposed facility (less than 3,000 sJ.) one WAC unit would be assigned. The amount of each WAC unit is $3,500.00 In addition to the WAC fee of $3,500.00 there is also a water connection permit fee of $100.00 for the inspection of the water installation. That inspection is performed by the Public Works Department. If there is not a water meter in existence already for determining sewer charges, a water meter will be required. The meter is available from the city for the charge of $100.00. . Page 1 Zoning District The subject property is located in the B-2 Highway 75 Zoning District. Flower shops are a permitted use in the B-2 District. Accessory buildings not exceeding 30% of the principal structure are also permitted in the B-2 District. The existing building exceeds this amount and is considered legal non-conforming. It can exist but it cannot be enlarged or intensified. Necessary non-structural repairs and maintenance is permitted. If damaged more than 50% of the appraised value the structure may not be reconstructed unless the use is brought into compliance. Setbacks The required setbacks in the B-2 District for lots not adjacent to Hwy 75 are: Front - 20 feet from property line Side - 10 feet from property line Rear - 1 0 feet from property line No part of the structure including footings, soffits, gutters or overhangs shall encroach on easement areas. No structure or combination of structures may occupy more than 60% of the lot area. Right of Way Line The property line and right of way line are synonymous. As near as I can tell the right of way line is at the back of sidewalk. If a variance is requested for setback to property line, a registered survey of the property will be required to process the variance. Sian Relocation Business signs and wall signs are permitted in the B-2 District. Business signs may have a surface area not exceeding 100 square feet per sign face with an aggregate area of 200 square feet if double faced. The business sign can only be erected on the premise of which the use, to which the sign relates, is conducted. All free standing signs must be landscaped around the base. No pylon signs are permitted. Every sign must have at least two supports or a monument base. The maximum height of a business sign is 15 feet. If your current sign complies with these requirements and the other requirements of the sign ordinance, it may be relocated. It must be brought into compliance at the time of the relocation. A cooler addition may be constructed. It will require a building permit and compliance with setback n~quirements all other ordinance requirements of the B-2 District. Off Street Parkina Requirements St. Joseph Ordinance Section 52.10 Subd. 4(m) requires 1 off street parking space for each 300 sJ. of gross floor area. . Page 2 This parking must be hard surfaced with concrete, bituminous or paver stone. Necessary curbs or other protection against damages to adjoining properties, streets and sidewalks shall be provided and maintained. Parking areas must be designed so that circulation between parking aisles or driveways occurs within the designated parking lot and does not depend upon a public street or alley and such design does not require backing onto the public street. When 1-25 parking spaces are provided, at least 1 accessible parking space is required. Second StOry Accessibilitv MSBC Chapter 1341.0405 Item E Exception1 Sub item (2) states" floors and mezzanines of non- public areas of retail sales and rental facilities where the occupant load is not more than 30 occupants" are not required to be accessible. The area of the second floor is small enough that the occupant load is less than 30. If the second floor is not used for retail sales or employee function, it is not required to be accessible. .

The Ordinance did not provide for such a use in the Industrial Park. When staff reviewed the request, it was determined that other municipalities do allow the facilities in Industrial Parks. The Planning Commission in August indicated that they would consider allowing the business use via a Special Use Permit. As staff reviewed the request, it was determined the best manner to allow such a request is to amend the Industrial Zoning District adding a provision under Special Uses that would Recreational Uses. RECOMMENDED PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Recommend the Council amend section 52.34 subd. 4 adding (g) Indoor Recreational Use. COMMENTS/RECOMMENDATIONS Public Hearing City of St. Joseph The Planning Commission for the City of St. Joseph will be conducting a public hearing on Tuesday, September 5,2006 at 7:25 PM.

Memo To: Judy Weyrens, City Administrator From: Ron Wasmund, Building Official cc: Date: August 31,2006 Re: Jennifer MillerfTim & Tracy Smith Daisy A Day Floral/Gifts ApPLICANT: STAFF REPORT JENNIFER L. MILLER, OWNER; TIM & TRACY SMITH, ApPLICANTS ApPLICATION: VARIANCE TO ALLOW A HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE RAMP WITH ROOF COVER INTO REQUIRED FRONT YARD SETBACK AREA LOCATION: 307 COLLEGE AVENUE NORTH PIN: 84.53642.000 ZONING B-2 HIGHWAY 75 BUSINESS DISTRICT Lot 1, Block 2 Loso's 3rd Addition BACKGROUND: The applicant is proposing to construct a handicapped accessible ramp which will be attached to the existing residential structure in order to provide pubic accessibility to the building in accordance with the State Building Code. This is required in order to convert or transition the existing use of the structure from a residential use to a commercial use. The applicant is proposing to construct the ramp using concrete and will attach deck materials along the outside perimeter up to a top rail. From that point (minimum of 42" as required by the building code) it will be open and un-enclosed up to the proposed roof line which would extend out from the structure at the same distance as the ramp width which is proposed at 7 feet. The ramp and roof projection feature is originally submitted to propose wrapping around the north end of the structure all, or nearly all the way along a distance of 16 ft. along the Dale Street frontage. This would require a 17 ft. variance along the College Street frontage and an approximate 15 ft. variance along the Dale Street frontage. . Page 1 ApPLICABLE LAND USE & VARIANCE REQUIREMENTS: .

(NOT INCLUDING ROOF PROJECTION) BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION ALTERNATIVES: The Board of Adjustment can approve the variance request as presented or amended, deny the request, or table the request if additional information is needed. If the decision is for approval or denial, then findings to support such decision must be made as part of the Board's recorded action on the request. STAFF FINDINGS: The following findings of fact have been prepared by staff for consideration by the Board of Adjustment on this application: 1. CIRCUMSTANCES UNIQUE & EXTRAORDINARY To PROPERTY: The existing residential structure is located in a B-2 District and the petitioner is proposing to transition the use of this structure into a commercial use. This characteristic is of an exceptional nature given the fact that the original structure was intended for a residential use which, by function, is different than the planned commercial use of the site. The primary intent in this request is to comply with handicapped accessibility to the structure and not to unnecessarily intensify the structure so as to unreasonably intensify the structure's front yard set back. 2. LITERAL INTERPRETATION/REASONABLE USE OF PROPERTY: The literal interpretation of the provisions of the zoning ordinance would deprive the petitioner of the rights to the reasonable use of this property for a transitional commercial use as compared to other similar properties in the B-2 District elsewhere in the community. . Page 2 3. SPECIAL PRIVILEGES NOT CONFERRED To ApPLICANT: The granting of the variance as requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by the Zoning Ordinance for other properties in the same district. 4. IMPACT ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES: The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or diminish or impair established property values within the surrounding area, or in any other respect impair the public health, safety or welfare of the residents of the City. 5. NOT TO ACCOMMODATE A PROHIBITED USE OR CREATE NEW STANDARDS: The condition of the property with the intended use of the structure for a flower shop is considered to be a transitional commercial use of the property. As such, the variance which is sought is intended to provide for the reasonable and practicable use of the property in order to assure for proper ingress and egress from the business. It would not otherwise be considered as granting an approval which by nature would otherwise suggest the formulation of a new general regulation for this type of situation in the Zoning Ordinance. 6. DEVIATION AS MINIMUM NEED TO ALLEVIATE A HARDSHILP: The variance as requested, provided it may be amended as discussed with the applicant, would be considered the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship on the subject property and allow for the reasonable addition of a safe structural covering to the front entrance area. 7 . VARIANCE REQUEST NOT DETRIMENTAL TO ZONING ORD. INTENT: The variance as requested would not be materially detrimental to the purposes of the Zoning Ordinances or property within the B-2 Zoning District. STAFF COMMENTS: After review of this request, it was determined that based upon the strict interpretation of the building & handicapped accessibility requirements, the degree of proposed improvements to the structure are more than required in order to satisfy the accessibility code requirements for the proposed use of the home for a business. A covering over the primary entrance to the business does, however, provide for greater safety in terms of ingress & egress through the primary entrance to the business. Staff supports this aspect of the variance request, but finds that it would be unnecessary to support an additional variance to the north end of the building and a much greater intensification of the building massing along the northern road frontage. This side will also require much less height from the adjacent grade for the rise of the concrete ramp at this point, as compared to east side of the building. This has been discussed with the petitioner and they may be willing to consider a change in their proposal as appropriate. . Page 3 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the findings of fact presented in this report, Staff recommends approval of the variance request, provided the above changes are made to the proposal which eliminates the variance from the Dale Street frontage. The request as proposed with the recommended changes is found to have met the requirements for proving a hardship as required under the Zoning Ordinance. The only factor which is found to be undetermined by staff is whether or not any easements exist along the College Avenue frontage. Based upon the certificate of survey as provided by the applicant, no easement is shown to exist on the drawing. This question must be answered prior to allowing any structural improvement other than sidewalk or landscaping improvements to this area and should be conditioned with the approval. Approval of the request for variance petition by Jennifer L. Miller, owner; and Tim & Tracy Smith, Applicants for a front yard variance to construct a four (4') roof overhang and elevated accessibility ramp for property located at 307 North College Avenue Lot 1, Block 2 Loso's 3rd Addition is recommended subject to the following conditions: 1. Revision of the plan as submitted to reduce the variance from 17 feet to 14 feet; a 4 ft. projection of un-enclosed roof & railing projection, on the Eastern College Avenue frontage and to eliminate the variance from the Northern Dale Street frontage. 2. Verification that no structural improvements will be permitted in an easement area on the site prior to issuance of a building permit. .

Joanne asked that I do a little digging into the proposed Pump It Up Party looking to locate in S1. Joseph. This particular franchise is located within, Eden Prairie, Burnsville, Ham Lake, Oakdale and Plymouth. In Eden Prairie the use is located in either the Industrial or Regional Service Commercial District (the Planner was not certain which), however, in either district the use which they classified as a gymnasium or retail is a permitted use within both districts. In Ham Lake, the use is located within a multi-use PUD district and was allowed by conditional use permit. In Burnsville, the use is located within the 1-2 (General Industrial) district and was allowed by a conditional permit as Indoor Recreation. If I can provide any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. Have a great afternoon!!! Karin Tank Municipal Development Group, Inc.

LOCATION: 700 15TH AVENUE LOT 3, BLOCK 1 BUETTNER BUSINESS PARK 2ND ADDITION BACKGROUND: The applicant Crystal Heller of the Bounce Depot, Inc. has requested a Special Use Permit to locate a new business in the St. Joseph Buettner Business Park at 700 15th Avenue in the Rice Buildings Systems owned by John Rice. The business will occupy 4, 000 S.F; of the building in the unfinished tenant space of the same building formerly occupied by the Meeting Grounds Corporate offices and now Nelson Brothers Bakery. The business will operate a children's party and recreation center, initially proposed to be open 6 days per week with hours of operation ranging from noon until 1 0:00 p.m. The business, as described by the applicant, will feature three large interactive inflatable devices and a party room facility for group events. The inflatable devices are stated to be of significant height and require a special open ceiling height of approximately 20 feet. This size of a building with a large open ceiling height of this degree is readily available with the subject building. This special ceiling height is not typically available in a retail commercial center, which would normally provide a more accommodating market orientation for a retail/service use such as this. Therefore, it was determined appropriate to consider this uS,e in the Light Industrial District though the Special Use Permit Process in order to accommodate the special needs of the new business. . Page 1 ApPLICABLE SPECIAL USE PERMITS STANDARDS: The Planning Commission shall recommend a special use permit and the Council shall order the issuance of such permit if the application conforms to the specific standards set forth below, as it would apply to the particular use at the proposed location: 1. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the City. 2. Will be harmonious with the general and applicable specific objectives of the comprehensive plan of the City and this Ordinance. 3. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area. 4. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses. 5. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, and schools. 6. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. 7. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. 8. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which are so designed as not to create traffic congestion or an interference with traffic or surrounding public thoroughfares. 9. Will have adequate facilities to provide sufficient off-street parking and loading space to serve the proposed use. 10. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic, or historic feature of major importance. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION ALTERNATIVES: The Planning Commission is required to consider the possible adverse effects of any proposed special use application and what additional requirements may be necessary to reduce any adverse effects. The Planning Commission can make a recommendation to the City Council for approval, approval with conditions, or for denial. Section 52.07 Subd. 3: (h) sets forth eight conditions the Planning Commission and City Council may impose to meet the standards of the Zoning Ordinance and to protect the best interests of the surrounding area or the City as a whole. The Planning Commission recommendation to the City Council must include findings to support its decision according to State Law. . Page 2 STAFF FINDINGS: The following findings of fact have been prepared by staff for consideration by the Planning Commission on this application: 1 . The proposed use will not be detrimental and will serve to promote the overall welfare of the community by providing a unique recreational opportunity for family recreation. 2. The proposed use if approved, will promote the overall economic goals and objectives of the St. Joseph Comprehensive Plan by encouraging the start up of a new business within the community; and with a market reach which will serve to attract visitors from the larger regional area. It will also serve to occupy an existing structure and promote the occupancy of an existing building which has already completed a thorough site plan review and improvement process. 3. The intended use is compatible with the Light Industrial District in that it will be a destination location, in particular through pre-advanced reservations, and will not rely upon drive-by or convenience retail type traffic to change the character of the district. The use will. be compatible with the area. 4. There are adequate infrastructure services existing to serve the use. 5. There will not be an anticipated impact on traffic movements to the area and there appears to be adequate existing off-street parking to serve the business and neighboring uses in the multi-tenant facility. STAFF COMMENTS: The proposed use of this building in the industrial district for a family recreational center would appear to be a good fit for the use of this facility. The placement of these types of uses, such as specialty recreational, exercise and training facilities in industrial and office park districts is a common trend nation wide. We do not anticipate any issues with the proposed special use of this business in the building, provided all necessary building, fire and health department regulations can be adequately met and the business can comply with the City's sign regulations for the Light Industrial District. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the special use permit for BOUNCE DEPOT, INC. at 700 15th Avenue - Lot 3, Block 1 Buettner Business Park 2nd Addition Subject to the following conditions: 1. Compliance with all local building & site plan requirements, including all provisions of the State Building & Fire Codes and State Health Department Regulations. . Page 3 2. All signage for the proposed use be in compliance with the City of St. Joseph's sign regulations. 3. The hours of operation are restricted to a closing time of 10:00 p.m. for all use of the facility. 4. The petitioner shall be subject to a review of the Special Use Permit within one year of final approval by City Staff for compliance with the conditions of this request, as may be approved. The review will involve a check to assure compliance with the City of St. Joseph Zoning Ordinance, including parking, signage, and all other applicable laws of the City. A written summary of the review will be provided on an informational basis only for the Planning Commission and City Council, provided there is full compliance with the terms of the Special Use Permit. .

Ekola, PE DATE: September 1, 2006 RE: Order of St. Benedict Hermitages SEH No, ASTJOE 0701 D77 The following are engineering review comments for hermitages for the Sisters of the Order of S1. Benedict site. 1. Provide a site plan showing proposed grading plan (including proposed building elevations and surrounding site elevations/contours) and utility plan (showing elevations for private utility extensions) for City Engineer review. 2. The proposed site has a low potential for increased surface water runoff due to the % impervious surface proposed (less than 1% of the 2.75 acre site is proposed to be buildings; no parking or driveway surfaces are proposed). Per Ordinance 52.18 Surface Water Management Ordinance, the City upon recommendation of the Planning Commission, may waive the requirements for a Surface Water Management Plan due to the minimal impact and runoff potential for this project (i.e. minimal risk for adversely affecting the standards and requirements set forth in the ordinance.) 3.

Required Fee ($500.00 Deposit) YES NO YES NO SISTERS OF THE ORDER OF SAINT BENEDICT Required Materials Submitted for City ofSt. Joseph Proiect Narrative~ The Sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict request permission to add two Hermitage units to the monastery campus. Participants in the monastery's Spirituality Center frequently request a solitude space for more silent prayer and meditation. A Hermitage provides this solitude space if located close to the Spirituality Center. Our research and the sister's wishes are for rustic units located within a natural environment. The Hermitage on the monastery campus, which was occupied by one of our sister hermits for many years, is no longer in existence. The area near its location provides natural space for the addition of Hermitages. The sisters are working with a group of Amish builders who produce beautiful cabins that can be moved in the future. We propose to locate two of these pre-built cabins on our property on Parcel 84.53439.000. 1. Legal Description-See addendum A 2. Site Plan drawing-See Addendum B A. Building Location-See Addendum B and Picture 1 B. Building Elevation-See Addendum C C. Building Exterior- See Picture 2. The cabins are constructed of Norway Pine. One cabin will be 15'x 24' with an 8' screened porch and the other cabin will be 15'x28' with a 6' porch. The roofhas taper sawn shake roofs, exterior Seasonite protection and Icynene insulation under vault and floors. The builder uses Permachink support products, including the 11 "log boss fasteners, chinking, and wood finishing products. The dimensional lumber is cut by Amish craftsmen using simple tools, and then assembled at their building site near Staples, MN. The units are moved from the building site to the site on our campus. D. Locations of ingress and egress points-Pedestrian access only. E. Location of dumpster and solid waste pick-up area-will be combined with waste from adj acent buildings at the time that the cabin is cleaned after each occupant. F. Sign location and dimensions-there will be no signage for these units G. Lighting Standard-a pathway from the Spirituality Center will have Bollard lights.
