We know from reading the St. Cloud Times .- that your City Counsel has scheduled some type of hearing involving my client on January 13, 1994. It would be nice if people could be notified of any complaints and potential administrative action ...... prior to reading it in the paper. In any event, I am writing to request a continuance of the hearing, since I am involved in a civil trial in Stearns County, which starts on January 13, 1994. I would appreciate it if you could call me before scheduling the meeting. I have already spoken with John Scherer about this, and he assured me he had no problem with a continuance. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, BURNS L~W OFFICES i I! J.---r----ì r- :' / . / , ! / 'I! L, * ,'. -/ / X/ /', ~ By . . I \', / I i !'i..-. >------ i . ¡ .____, f-......./ ...../... ....

Prior to the time of connection to the water system, the property owner shall pay to the clerk a water hook-up (connection) charge. The hook-up charge shall be determined from time to time by the City Council, based upon the past costs absorbed by the residents of the City for the construction of that part of the water system to which the applicant seeks connection. Proceeds from the water hook-up shall be held in a fund for use in future construction repairs or modification of the city water system. In the event the use of property connected to the water system is significantly changed, the city of st. Joseph reserves the right to re-compute the appropriate water hook-up charge and assess an additional charge based upon the method of computation and the charges then in effect and established by resolution of the City Council. If the change in use results in greater water consumption than occurred prior to the change in use, the city may . assess an additional hook-up charge and condition the issuance of a building permit, approval of a conditional use permit, or re-zoning (as necessary for the change in use of the property) upon payment of the additional hook-up charge. The amount of the hook-up charge shall take into consideration credit for the water usage to which the property was entitled by virtue of the original connection and prior use. A significant change in use which increases water consumption occurs under any of the following circumstances: (a) a change from a single family or two-family use to mUlti-family use, commercial (business use) or industrial use; (b) change from commercial (business) use to multi-family or industrial use; (c) a change from multi-family use to industrial use; (d) a change from one industrial use to another, or a change in industrial operation, which increases water consumption by more than 500 gallons a day as compared to the prior use.

Notice of this matter was duly served and published. A copy of the notice is attached hereto. In consideration of the information presented to the Planning Commission and its application to the Comprehensive Plan and Ordinances of the City of St. Joseph, the Planning Commission makes the following findings: St. Joseph Code of Ordinances No. 52.21 subd 4- states that all industrial uses shall require a special use permi t. Based upon these findings, the Planning Commission recommends that the request for a special use permi t to a 11 ow the operation of a upholstery business in an industrial zone be approved. Approval shall be on the following conditions: 1. All wood, metal, oil, tires and debris wi 11 be . removed from the site on or before May 1 , 1994-. The Fire Chief will inspect the property for compliance on May 1 , 1994-. 2 . A mobile home will be allowed on the site for the purpose of an office and living quarters for Mr. Hinnenkamp only. This conditions restricts the number of occupants at any one time to one person, Mr. Hinnenkamp. 3. The Council will review and determine the appropriateness of requiring a phase one environmental assessment. Additionally, this special use permit becomes null and void should any one of the stipulations be unfulfilled. These findings and recommendations were approved by a vote of 4- to 2 by the St. Joseph Planning Commission this 13th day of December, 1993. ?:~ (Á jj4/µ dy eyrens - Secretary of the Board - DA VE'S REALTY 23 WEST MINNESOTA STREET· P.O.

Shannan , Upholstery: Chair Klein called the s hearing to order. The purpose of the hearing was to consider a request for a special use permit. This permit would allow for the operation of an upholstery business. Zoning Ordinance No. 52.21 subd 4 states, "All industrial uses sha 11 require a special use permit. It The property is 1 ega 1 1 y described as follows: That part of the South 451 .42 feet of the North 880.42 feet of the East 686.70 feet of the Northeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 9, Township 124, Range 29, Stearns County, Minnesota which lies southwesterly of the southwesterly right of way 1 i ne of the Burlington 4IÞNorthern Railroad together with that part of the North 880.42 feet of the West 44.00 feet of the Northwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter . of Section 10 in said Township and Range which lies southwesterly of said right of way line. Containing 7.5 acres. Together with that part of said Northeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section 9 and that part of said Northwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 10 bounded as follows: on the East by the West 1 i ne of Schneider's Addition, a duly recorded plat, produced northerly; on the South by a 1 i ne drawn Due West from a point on said West 1 i ne of said plat distant 800 feet northerly from its intersection with northerly right of way 1 i ne of US Trunk Highway 52; on the West by a 1 i ne drawn parallel with and 150.00 feet westerly of, as measured at right angles to, said West 1 i ne of said plat; and on the North by the South 1 i ne of the North 880.42 feet of said Sections 9 and 10. Containing 1 .11 acres. The request for special use has been submitted by Shannan's Upholstery, 30433 - 90th Avenue. Shannan Hinnenkamp spoke on his own behalf. Mr. Hinnenkamp stated that he is in the process of purchasing the Lymann Hull Property to relocate his existing upholstery business. Before the purchase can be complete, Mr. Hinnenkamp needs to obtain a special use permit, as all uses by Ordinance, must be approved by the Planning Commission and City Counci 1. - - Glenn Diedrich, representative of the current owner, Avon State Bank, discussed the property. He has been working to clean up the property, including tearing down some of the old buildings. As of today, he has Page 1 DRAFT December 6, 1993 I.. . removed approx. 400 tires, slab wood, and pallets. Because of all the debris, the process is taking a long time. Additionally, the snow has slowed the process down. To assist with the cleanup, Mr. Hinnenkamp has received permission from the DNR to burn some of the material. Mr. Diedrich stated that the buyer (Hinnenkamp), would like to complete the cleanup work himself . Elmer Rakotz questioned the possibility of contaminated soil on the site. Commissioner Nierengarten concurred and felt that it 1 S important to require the property be cleaned up environmentally. Mr. Diedrich responded that at this point the existence of contaminated soil is just speculation. He questioned if the surrounding property has been tested. The adjacent properties at one time were used for an old dump site, and a swamp is also located near by. Mr. Hinnenkamp requested authorization to place an advertising sign 1 n the City property. The sign will be located along side of the road. Commissioner Klein stated that this is a matter for the City Council and he should contact the City Offices to be on their agenda. Commissioner Lesnick questioned the use of a mobile home for living quarters in an industrial area. Hinnenkamp responded that the purpose of the mobile home would be two . fold. During the day it would serve as an office, and at night it would serve as a night guard. Because of its seclusion, the equipment would be more secure with someone on the property 24 hours per day. Lymann Hull and Glenn Diedrich both stated that before the property became available for purchase, a mobile home was located on the premise and served as a 1 iving quarters. Klein stated that the mobile home had been grandfathered in and since the use has ceased for more than one year, the mobile home is no longer grandfathered in. Rakotz questioned the mechanics of a special use permit, and if other businesses could operate on the site once a special use permit is issued. Klein stated that a special use permit is issued by use, and if other businesses would like to operate on the same property, they would need to appear before the Commission and make an application for a special use permit. Hiemenz questioned whether or not cert if i cat i on from the County had been received with regard to the septic system. Frank Imholte stated that he did contact stearns County Environmental Health and they could not find a record on the system. The County cannot cert Hy a system unless a system is in use. Also, Mr. Imholte stated that some of the Commissioners have a misconception about septic - systems and the transfer of property. Property can change hands without a septic certification. - Mr. Hinnenkamp stated that he did go out and check the septic system himself and is satisfied that it is in good working condition. If Page 2 DRAFT . December 6, 1993 ..~ 4IÞsomething should happen, he would be responsible for bringing the system up to code. Hiemenz stated that at this time municipal water and sewer services are not available, and he would be bound by the County regulations should something go wrong. Hiemenz also stated that he did receive a call from Bob Warnert who owns property near the proposed special use. Mr. Warnert indicated that he did not have a problem with the special use, but would 1 i k e th e environment issues checked into. Commission members discussed the importance of requiring the property owner to complete a Phase One Environmental Impact study. After a lengthy discussion, Lesnick made a motion to table the special use request of Shannan Hinnenkamp unti 1 the following items can be presented to the Planning Commission: 1 .

Joseph and the Township of st. Joseph for a grant for the financing of a service sharing study. Prior to being elected to the Legislature, I was on the st. Joseph City Council for 18 years and served two of those years as mayor. I know the city and township have a good cooperative relationship. St. Joseph is about three miles from the st. Cloud/Waite Park , boundaries. with the city and the township's projected growth potential, it is essential that they have a strategic plan. The availability of these grant funds would allow the two government entities to develop a detailed analysis of an infrastructure plan and a plan to optimally combine into a single unit. The time is right, the tax bases are approximately equal - all they need is a financial boost to facilitate the plan. You will note from the application that local funds are also being used for this project. I would appreciate your favorable consideration of this request and if I can be of any assistance, please let me know. Sincerely, steven B.
