In questioning the applicant,part of the intended use for the accessory building was for his business trailers. He currently has an internet business,Barrels Up, for which he uses the trailers. The use of an accessory building for business related activity or storage of vehicles or merchandise is considered a home extended business; which according to the MOU in the Orderly Annexation Agreement requires a conditional use permit. I verified with Angie Berg that an internet business along would not require a conditional use permit,but the use of the accessory building would. On August 8,2014 I called the applicant to further discuss the request and told him that a conditional use permit would be required due to the home extended business provision. He stated that he is on a timeline and waiting another month would not work. He stated he would not park the trailers at the home until he goes through the Conditional Use Permit process,as he currently stores the trailers off site at this time. When questioned if he would need such a large accessory building if it were not for the business he stated that he would still use it for personal use. The granting of a variance requires the highest level of findings. Number 7 on the draft findings identifies all the requirements that must be determined in granting a variance. Applicants are requested to submit the least deviation possible when applying for a variance. The applicant has indicated that the house can be moved forward an additional 20',but that is about the extent. It is acknowledged that the variance is separate from any building requirements and the applicant is aware that approval of the variance would still require permits and approvals from Stearns County Environmental Services as well as the Township Building Inspector. We discussed the requirement that the accessory building must compliment the main structure. After conducting the public hearing and accepting testimony,the Joint Planning Board will have to identify the specific findings for the decision that is made.

The matter was duly published and notice was provided to property owners within 1020 feet of the above referenced property. PROPERTY ADDRESS: 31693 Cedar Ridge Road PROPERTY LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 0001 Block 003 Sunset Ridge The St.Joseph Joint Planning Board acknowledged the following Findings of Fact in consideration of the request for Variance to allow for the construction of an accessory building closer to the road than the principal structure: 1. The subject property is located in the Orderly Annexation Agreement between the City and Township of St. Joseph and is zoned R5. 2. In 2012 the Joint Planning Board approved a residential subdivision entitled Sunset Ridge which included twelve(12)single family lots. 3. Included in the Orderly Annexation Agreement is a MOU which identifies land use management guidelines and restrictions. 4. Item No. 2 of the Attachment in the Orderly Annexation Agreement MOU states:Residential accessory buildings shall meet the road setbacks and in no case shall they be located closer to the road than the residential dwelling. 5. An application has been received by Chad and Stacey Allen to allow the construction of a residential accessory building before the principal structure. 6. The site plan submitted for consideration by the Joint Planning Board was conceptual in nature only. The placement of all buildings must meet the setback and lot requirements as determined by the St.Joseph Township Building Official and/or Stearns County Environmental Services. 7. Granting of a variance is controlled by MN Statute 394.27 Subd. 7 and requires the applicant to meet ALL the following criteria: a. The proposed use is allowed in the Zoning district in which the subject property is located. b. The proposed use is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the official controls. c. The variance must be consistent with the comprehensive plan. d. The variance may be granted IF there are practical difficulties in complying with the official control. i. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner. ii. The plight of the landowner is due to the circumstances unique to the property and not created by the landowner. iii. The variance,if granted,will not alter the essential character of the locality. iv. The need for variance involves more than economic conditions. 8. The applicant has indicated on the application for variance that the strict application of the sited land use provision would result in a loss of numerous trees that serve as a natural buffer and cutting of the trees would take away from the characteristics of the neighborhood. In addition,the proposed location of the accessory building places the building in a wooded area so that it will not be visible from the street. DECISION AND CONCLUSION Based on the Finding of Fact,the St.Joseph Joint Planning Board the Variance Permit as requested by Chad and Stacey Allen to allow of an accessory building closer to the road than the principal structure at 31693 Cedar Ridge Road with the following contingencies: 1. 2. 3. The Variance Permit is separate an independent from the building/lot requirements. The residential accessory building must meet all the land use requirements as identified and required by Stearns County Environmental Services and the Building Inspector for St. Joseph Township ST.JOSEPH JOINT PLANNING BOARD By Jeffrey Janssen, Chair By Judy Weyrens, Secretary Drafted by: City of St.Joseph PO Box 668 St.Joseph MN 56374 320.363.7201 This page intentionally left blank
