Extract of City Council Minutes
October 21, 2010
Ordinance Amendments, Ordinance 52.10. Parking: Weyrens reported that the Planning Commission
recently held a public hearing for the potential amendments to the Parking Ordinance. The proposed
amendments include the definition of a parking pad, where it can be located and how it can be
constructed. Another possible amendment was to remove the requirement of perimeter curbing in the
downtown area [131 Zoning District] if there is adequate drainage. Rassier clarified that the curbing relief is
not guaranteed, rather there must be proof that water issues will arise is curbing is installed. [see
Ordinance 52.10 Subd 5(g)].
There were also some changes made with respect to parking pads for residential units in all Zoning
districts. Jansky expressed that they have some issues with enforcing the ordinance as it is currently
written. Some residents have put down crushed gravel as a parking pad and then weeds begin to grow
through it. The tough question is whether or not that is still considered a parking pad. From an
enforcement standpoint, Jansky stated that it is best to have a definition of what is acceptable and what is
not. Weyrens stated that other cities have the same issues. She added that staff recommended that there
be access to a street or alley from the parking pad and thought it would be best to have a setback.
According to Loso, the intent of the Ordinance was to prohibit parking on the grass in the front yard.
Weyrens stated that society has changed over the years and people have a number of toys such as
boats, snowmobiles, trailers, campers and adjoining property owners often complain about having to took
out their window and see vehicles or recreation equipment parked on the lawn. Loso stated that not
everyone has a place to store boats, etc and parking pads should be installed for that purpose.
Weyrens stated that a hearing was already held, but the Ordinance can still be changed. Loso stated that
he would like to see a more common sense approach. Wick added that, from a timing standpoint, this is a
bigger issue in the spring, summer and fall rather than during the winter. Loso stated that it seems as
though some of these violations are "grandfathered" in until a building permit is issued; whereas, the new
homes are designed to allow for the newer toys. There was considerable discussion regarding how much
of the front yard can be covered with a parking pad. Rassier would like to see parking pads in the front
yard to be more uniform. He also stated that people are not required to pave the surface rather they must
have a hard surface.
Loso made a motion to send this back to the Planning Commission for further discussion
conveying the discussion by the Council to include the language relating the parking of
recreational or power sports vehicles. The motion was seconded by Symanietz.
Discussion: The Council clarified that the only portion of the Ordinance amendment in question is
that which relates to the parking pad provisions.
The motion passed unanimously.

Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Planning Commission for the City of St. Joseph met in regular
session on Monday, July 6, 2010 at 7.00PM in the St. Joseph City Hall.
Members Present: Chair Sister Kathleen Kalinowski, Commissioners Ross Rieke, Rick Schultz, Mike
Deutz, Brian Orcutt, John Meyer, Dale Wick and City Administrator Judy Weyrens
Ordinance Uodate — Parking: Weyrens stated that staff has received lots of complaints regarding parking
on the grass and thus the Commission should begin discussing the parking Ordinance. Rieke stated that
he recently read an article about a new system in which a metal grid can be buried under the dirt and .then
the area would be seeded to allow for parking on the grass. Weyrens stated that she is aware of that
system, but staff will continue to receive calls regarding parking. Weyrens questioned the Commissioners
as to whether or not they have any thoughts on parking in yards. According to Deutz, Ordinances are only
as good as they are enforced. Weyrens explained that the problem with enforcing the ordinance is related
to how it is currently written. She suggested either removing the provision for no parking on the grass or
define a parking pad. Rieke stated that in order for enforcement to be enforceable, there needs to be a
definition.
Weyrens also stated that staff wants to look at parking in the B1 District with respect to perimeter curbing
that is required where it is impossible

Deutz made a motion to recommend approval of the rezoning from AG to R4 Rezoning. The
motion was seconded by Orcutt and passed unanimously.
Public Hearing, Ordinance Amendments: Kalinowski opened the Public Hearing. Weyrens stated that the
purpose of the hearing is to consider amendments to the City of St. Joseph Zoning Ordinance:
• Ordinance 52.06 Building Permits Required
• Ordinance 52.10 Parking
• Ordinance 52.12 General Performance Standards
• Ordinance 52.21 Transportation Corridor Overlay
• Ordinance 52.22 Outdoor Dining
• Ordinance 52.31 131 - Central Business District
• Ordinance 52.32 B2 - Highway Business
• Ordinance 52.33 B3 - General Business
• Ordinance 52.34 LI - Light Industrial
• Ordinance 52.35 Educational and Ecclesiastical
• Ordinance 58 Telecommunications
Weyrens stated that since the last meeting, all of the business districts were amended to include the
provision to relieve the requirement for site plan approval by the Planning Commission if plans are
consistent with Zoning District.
Ordinance 52.06 - Building Permits Required: This amendment clarifies that building permits are required
for all work in the City to include shingling, siding and window replacement:
Meyer made a motion to approve the amendment to Ordinance 52.06. The motion was seconded
by Deutz and passed unanimously.
Ordinance 52.10 — Parking: This amendment includes provisions for shared parking spaces, delineating
parking and requirements; provide relief from curbing in 131 Zoning Districts.
Meyer suggested the following changes/corrections:
52.10 -6 (g) "... as may be amended, may be exempted from perimeter..."
52.10 -8 (f) Meyer stated that the following "... Parking pads shall not occupy a viewing
triangle measuring twenty -five (25) feet from the curb intersect at intersections of
two or more public streets." conflicts with Ordinance 52.12 Subd. 10 (a)(1)(13)(iv)
which states "... If stored on a comer lot they are not closer than twenty feet from
the property line abutting side street. ". The Commissioners asked Sabart for
clarification on this provision. Sabart replied that there is no standard, but he
would prefer that the Ordinance refer to a distance from the property line rather
than the curb.
Meyer made a motion to approve the amendment to Ordinance 52.10 with the following change:
Subd. 6(t) "... Parking pads shall not occupy a viewing triangle measuring not closer than
twenty feet from the property line abutting a side street"
The motion was seconded by Deutz and passed unanimously.
Ordinance 52.12 — General Performance Standards: This amendment adds a fence provision for
Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts; removing duplicate language regarding parking which is
referred to in Ordinance 84 and Junk Cars.
Schultz made a motion to approve the amendment to Ordinance 52.12. The motion was seconded
by Wick and passed unanimously.

Good Morning -
The City of St. Joseph is working on developing standards for residential parking pads. We
do not allow parking on the grass and it is becoming more and more difficult to enforce.
Therefore we are looking to see if you have adopted standards for parking pads in residential
areas. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Judy,
We have also been struggling with this lately. Cars parked on an unimproved surface mostly occur in the older parts of
town where we have a mix of rentals and older people on fixed incomes. We would like to get the cars off the grass or
dirt, but we are concerned that this would create a hardship for some of the older folks that don't have a bituminous
driveway. Further complicating the issue is the Benton County Fair. Homeowners around the fair sell parking spaces on
their lawns. Politically it would be hard to changes this. Also because the fair doesn't really have dedicated parking
areas, it does serve a functional purpose.

Judy,
We know your pain! This is obviously a big concern for us, particularly in student housing
areas.
The simple answer is that all parking must be on paved surfaces in residential neighborhoods
and must be in the excess sideyard or rear yard. Parking is further limited by setbacks and
green space /open space minimums on each parcel. I have attached our ordinance language, see
Articles 16.7, 16.8, and 16.13 for specific provisions affecting residential parking.
Enforcement is a challenge. Our adoption of administrative citation authority has
significantly improved the challenge of enforcing these standards.
