Re: State of Minnesota vs. Dale Albert Schneider
Court File No. K9-94-691
Dear Mr. Scherer:
As City Attorney for the City of St. Joseph, I write to advise you of the outcome of
the criminal proceedings against Dale Schneider for Sale of Alcoholic Beverages to Persons
Under 21 Years of Age as a result of a sale he personally made to an underage college
student on Halloween, 1993. Mr. Schneider pled guilty to the offense on May 25, 1994, and
was sentenced by Judge Landwehr to a misdemeanor sentence, requiring him to pay the full
$700 fine and suspending 30 days jail on the condition that Mr. Schneider have no personal
criminal charges or convictions for alcohol related violations for one year from today's date.
I spoke with Mike Rajkowski late on May 24, 1994, and also spoke with Chief Brad
Lindgren regarding whether it made any difference for purposes of licensing if Schneider
was sentenced as a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor. We were looking at a two to three
day jury trial over one year of extra probation which could have been obtained in a gross
misdemeanor sentence. Both Mike and Brad assured me that it did not seem to make any
.- difference if he was convicted of a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor and that in fact the
City was keeping a very close eye on his business in terms of his license. Schneider's
...... attorney, Gordon Spengler, assured me that Schneider was more concerned about what was
happening with his license than he was over the ultimate criminal conviction.

~'!inneapoli5,~IN55401-1610 When we recently spoke, you suggested that I put
I together some specific figures and options which the
612·339·9106 I ci ty Council could approve to resolve the Linnemann Inn
800·445'9617 I hookup issue. To do so, I have reviewed the water use

. would suspect that May wlll be conslstent wlth the
_ eight months previous. Therefore, I believe that we
can go ahead and get a fairly accurate estimate of
FRA.\iKI. RAIKOWSKI * daily usage based upon eight of the nine school months.
GORDON H. H,L\iSMEIER
FREDERICKL.GRUNKE Average daily water usage for these eight months is
THo.\JAS G. JO\'.\NO\'ICH 1,177.69 gallons per day. In computing hookup charges
for commercial or industrial uses, we estimate 500
JOHN H, SCHERER ,
gallons a day of water use per unlt. Therefore, the
P,\ULA.RA/KOIVSKI average daily use for Linnemann Inn during the school
KEVINF.GR.W year is equal to two full units plus 177.69 additional
WILLIAM I. CASHMAN gallons per day.
DAVID T. SHAY
RICHARDW.SOBALVARRO It is my understanding that from prior hookup fees
paid, Linnemann Inn property has already purchased two
},,!lCHAEL c. RA/KOIVSKI
sewer use hookups. Therefore, the amount that the use
exceeds the current hookup fees is 177.69 gallons per
day. The current sewer hookup fee is $800.
JAMESH.KELU',M.D.,F.A.C.P. I recommend that the Council select one of several

Ms. Rachel Stapleton __

Page -2- --
attributed to another 177.69 gallons per day is $284.30.
The Council could require payment of this amount/ with the
understanding that if the use increases further, additional
payments will be requested.
3. The Council could recompute these figures once May water use
is determined, or recompute taking into consideration summer
use as well. I don/t believe there is any need to wait for
the May figure since it will be consistent with prior usage.
I don/t believe that consideration of summer figures is
appropriate since the city has to provide for facilities to
handle the peak period (the school year) even if use is less
in the summer. The hookup fee exists to help pay for the
facilities; specifically/ a space within the st. Cloud
system. The College of st. Benedict contributes toward the
cost of the project based upon the school month use rather
than 12 month use for the same reason.
I would recommend that the Council choose one of the first two
options at the next meeting. The option calling for payment of
$284.30/ with reassessment at a future time if use expands is
probably the most equitable under the circumstances. I will
communicate the Council's decision to the owners. --
with regard to the Rieke fence complaint, I have asked Rachel to --
verify whether or not the fence has been removed. If not, I will
proceed with the civil action as previously directed by the
Council. Contrary to what is contained in the City Council
Minutes, I have not had any contact with Mr. Rieke/s attorney
since early May. I contacted him after the results of the tests
were received and after receiving Council direction to proceed
with civil action if the fence is not removed. I have not
received any response since that time.
I also wish to advise you and the Council that a meeting has been
set up with Gar Kellum at st. John/s for June 17th to discuss
Pinestock and other University sponsored events which impact the
city of st. Joseph. Mayor Reber, Chief Lindgren and I will
attend this initial meeting with Mr. Kellum. If anyone has any
points that they want us to emphasize during this meeting/
contact the Mayor or me prior to the 17th.
Finally, I have also reviewed the nondiscrimination policy. It
would be my recommendation to reduce the nondiscrimination policy
to an ordinance entitled "Employment Nondiscrimination
Ordinance". We cannot have a criminal penalty for a policy
violation. Since an ordinance is a law, we can then have the
criminal penalty available. With the Council/s approval, I will ~
rework the policy into the form of an Ordinance and send it back
to the Council for approval. At that time, I will also increase --

the penalty to that of a misdemeanor which carries maximum
penalties of a $700 fine and 90 days in jail. A penalty of a
lesser amount may be recommended and is generally imposed by a
Court.
Please let me know if the Council wishes to proceed this way.

Dear Elected Official:
We are writing this letter as concerned fellow City
Council Members as a City Member of the League of Minnesota
Cities Insurance Trust (L.M.C. I .T.). We are asking for your
consideration and support on a matter that has gone on for
much too long and has sapped the resources of each of the
three involved City Cou~cil Members.
We believe, and the Minnesota Court of Appeals agrees
that City Council Members should be entitled to reasonable
legal defense coverage thru the L.M.C.I.T.. The attorneys
for the L.M.C.I.T. disagree and have chosen to add to all
parties expense and Appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court.
This action was brought in November of 1991 in regard to
. a June emergency discussion to repair a well in the Afton
City Park prior to the Fourth of July celebration. The
original complaint alleged that the Mayor violated the open
meeting law with two Council Members on three separate and
unrelated occasions. The complaint asked that the statutory
penalty be imposed ($100) and that the Mayor and the two
involved Council Members be removed from office. An elected
official can be removed from office for three violations of
the open meeting law. The courts have found only one
unintentional violation and no evidence of any other open
meeting law violations. In their defense the three City
Council Members have incurred over $60,000 in legal expenses.
The Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled on March 8, 1994
that the L.M.C. LT. has a duty to defend and ordered them to
do so. L.M.C.I.T. attorneys have chosen to Appeal the charge
to the Minnesota Supreme Court.
All around Minnesota Communities thought ~n joining the
League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust they would receive
legal defense coverage. The Court of Appeals says they
should!
In Afton, a single citizens effort to remove a Mayor and
two City Council Members from public office has failed. The
cost of survivory on their Public Offices is $60,000 to the
. involved Council Members. This is the type of event that is
extraordinary, beyond budget and one for which cities
purchase insurance. At least Afton thought it had purchased
such insurance.
City of Afto" - 3033 St. Croix Trail So. Box 386,' Alton, MN. 55001
We are enclosing a Resolution that would direct the ,
League of Minnesota Cities Insurance trust to comply with the
Appeals Court decision. We ask that you place this matter on
your City Councils agenda at the earliest possible date and .
show your support for Afton or your concern for the issue by
passing the attached resolution and forwarding a copy to the
L.M.C.LT. and the City of Afton. We thank you for your time
and consideration on this matter.
Respectfully,

TO: Members of the St. Joseph City Council
RE: Street Numbering Qammittee
As I stated at the May 24, 1994 Joint meeting, I would be resigning fran
the Street Numbering Board if no action was taken to correct incorrect
addresses. Therefore, I sul:mi t my resignation fran the Street N\.ITÌ)ering
Board effective June 3, 1994.
I believe that the changes that were recommended by the Board were in the
.- best interest of the residents of the City and Township of St. Joseph.
The proposed system has been completed for many months. It is my
-- understanding that the City Engineer has also completed the grids to
complete the system.
During this process new houses are being constructed and given inaccurate
addresses, and the College of St. Benedict cannot update their 911
system. In my opinion, these errors where due to the unnecessary delays
of the process.
Although I appreciate the chance to assist in this project, I find that
the continuous delays make it necessary for me to resign fran the Board.
However, I believe the project is extremely bnportant and if the project
can be irrplaœnted in a timely manner, I would reconsider my resignation.

Dear Rachel:
MINNEAPOLIS
2904 Plaza VII Enclosed herewith, please find revised Amendment to
-G South Se\'enth Street Ordinance 25 dealing with the Planning Commission_
These revisions were made after discussions with Ken
\"lìnneapolis, ~vlN 35-102-1620 Hiemenz. The one issue still remains whether or not
ó12-339-9206 there should be six or seven members appointed by the
800--!4S-961ï Council. There are currently seven appointed members.
FAX 612-251-5896 There is some logic to dropping to six members since
. you. would then have two members with terms expiring
each year. A smaller body may also function better and
be more productive. On the other hand, there are
currently seven members, and a reduction to six would
F RA.\"K !- RA/KO\\'SKl . require the removal of one of the members.
GORDO:V H. HANSME!ER
FREDERICK L. GRUSKE I As this revision is drafted, it allows for at least six
THO.'iAS G. JO\'ASO\'IC.'i I but not more than seven appointed members. In this
I fashion, the Planning Commission could continue with
JOHN H. SCHERER , its current makeup. Upon the retirement or withdrawal
PAUL A. RA/KO\\'SKl of a member, the membership shall automatically drop to
KEVIN F. GRAY six if the Council chooses not to replace the retiring
WILLIAM !- C.4SHMA.': member. That may be a reasonable compromise between
DAVID T. SHAY ¡ the interests of the current members of the commission
RICHARD W. SOBAL\'ARRO I and the long term interest of the city.

prior to connection to the system. In the event the use of property connected to the sewer system is
significantly changed, the City of St. Joseph reserves the right to re-compute the appropriate sewer
hook-up charge and assess an additional charge using 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
waste water production that 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 sewer
usage to which the property was entitled by virtue of the original connection and prior use. A
significant change in use which increases waste water production occurs under any of the following
circumstances: (a) a change from a single family or two-family use to multi-family use, commercial

FROM: Mike Sworski, Maintenance Department
RE: Guidelines for Planting and Maintenance of Seedlings
Required maintenance for these seedlings would involve:
......Watering
"*..Tillage
"""Proper pruning
"""Staking as necessary
This maintenance would involve approximately five ( 5) hours
of labor per week, and would occur if and when necessary
April through October. In my personal opinion, we should not
invest the time or money if the right care is not given.
To make the most effective growing conditions, the soil
- should be tilled several times during each growing season.
This keeps grass and weeds from restricting the growth of
- these seedlings during their most critical time.

June 7, 1994
The Honorable Donald "Bud" Reber
Mayor of st. Joseph
st. Joseph, MN 56374
Dear Mayor Reber:
On June 6, 1994, I attended a planning commission meeting. You
were there and witnessed my problem. with this letter, I am asking
if you will get authorization from the city council to get some
clarification from your city attorney as to the following questions
or statements:
. 1. In a letter dated April 8 from Rachel Stapleton to Brad and
me, there were six items requested. I responded to all requests.
Does it matter whether the requests were answered the way the
Planninq Commission wanted them to be answered or is a response a
response? The last item, signage of parking lot, was answered to
the effect that fire lane signs will be installed to the approval
of the fire chief but no other indicators will be used to tell who
to park where. Is this not an answer? Tonight I was told since I
don I t have the signs yet and they are not installed, then the
Planning Commission could not approve the plan. What is a plan?
Is it not a plan? Can not the plan be approved prior to the fire
lane siqns beinq installed. In January, 1993, when the parking was
approved, the fire lane was not even an issue. Does the orderinq
of the installation of a fire lane and its subsequent siqninq have
to be approved by the Planninq Commission in an approved parkinq
lot?
2. The type of surface which I indicated was crushed rock. Why
can the city use Class 2 crushed qranlte in all of their parkinq
lots and I am unable to? Does the city have separate requirements
for park property than for private property? I spent $1000 putting
Class 2 crushed granite onto a 24-year-old parking lot that had a
Class 5 base. What did I do wrong? Is there a product on the
market called treated crushed rock? What is it treated with and
where do I qet it and is it environmentally safe? The powder that
. came with the crushed granite has subsequently created a bonding
agent which, after having been rained on several times, has
produced a firm, hard surface.
.
I 4. .,
Page Two
3. The st. Joseph Code of Ordinances 52.13 subd. 5 requires that
a parking lot plan be submi tted and approved by the Planning
Commission before construction. What is the attorney's
interpretation of the word "construction" in this section? I
interpret it to mean the construction of a parking lot. What is
meant by the word "plan?" What is meant by "submitted?" What is
meant by "approved?" What is the interpretation of the attorney as
to what haven't I done that is required of me and why is it so
difficult to be "approved?" We have been bantering since May, 1993
following "a question that had been raised." Can we put it to
rest? I have 28 designated parking spots drawn on the submitted
plan. The zoning ordinance requires me to have 18. I have
indicated and accomplished the resurfacing of a 24-year-old lot
with Class 2 crushed granite. I have an approved plan from the
Fire Chief as to the location of a fire lane. I have ordered but
not yet received the fire lane signs through the fire
chief/maintenance chief, Dick Taufen. What more does our ordinance
reauire of me that I have not done? Why can I not get an approval
from the Planning Commission? Lastly, is the Plannina Commission
allowed to make a decision on an issue brouaht UP under "old
business" by the chair?
- As you witnessed tonight, I am frustrated! Thank you for your
~ consideration.

which celebrates the courage and patriotism of the soldiers
who fought for our freedoms. Tyranny is the lack of respect

. Your parking lot plan was considered by the Planning
Commission. It is my understanding that three concerns
remain:
FRANK r RA/KOWSKI . 1. The parking stall designation was not present. In
GORDON H. HANSMEIER other words, there was nothing to indicate the
FREDERICK L GRUNKE manner in which cars should park within the lot.
THOMAS G. JOI'ANOVICH striping is not necessary, but some signage,
curbing or other marking should be installed to
JOHN H. SCHERER give direction with regard to parking.
PAUL A. RA/KOWSKI
KE\'IN F. GRA Y 2. Fire lane designation is not present. We would
WILLIAM r CASHMAN recommend signage indicating the location of the
DAVID T. SHAY fire lane and the prohibition regarding parking.
RICHARD w. SOBAL\'ARRO 3. There is concern that the material used was
some
MICHAEL c. RA/KOWSKI not "dust free" . There should be further
confirmation as to the type of material used and
its classification as "dust free".
JAMES H. KELLY, M.D., F.A.c.p, It is my understanding that you are in the process of
MEDICAL CO:\,SClTA;..¡T addressing these issues with the Planning commission.
GORDON H. HA:\'5~IElER 15 AD~nTfED TO PRACTICE After a decision is made as to the manner in which you
will address these concerns, the amended plan should be

I have also had some recent conversations with steve Dehler
regarding the payment of additional sewer hookup charges. I did
present steve's proposal to the City Council whereby additional
sewage hookup charges would be determined by metering of water
use for the upcoming year. Rather than wait for future metering,
the Council would prefer to have the additional charges based
upon metering for the past year (September of 1993 through May of
1994) . Please give me a call and let me know if this would be
agreeable.
Very truly yours,

. Dear Rachel: ,
FRANK J. RATKOWSKI I have prepared this letter to respond to a question
GoRDON H, HÆNSMEIER raised with respect to the lodging house being
FltlDlRICK L. GRUNKE developed by Steve Dehler and Brad Lindgren.
THOMAS G, /OVÆNOVICH
" JOHN H, SCHERER It is my understanding that the matter has been before
PAUL t\, RATKOWSKI the Planning Commission and the Planning Commission has
KEVIN F. GRAY determined that the proposed lodging house is a
permitted use in a general business district.
Therefore, I will not address that question.
WIWAM J. CMHMAN
DAVID T. SHAY The Planning Commission did have a questio~ as to what
CAROL t\, STARK should or should not be required as far as off street
RICHARD w. SOBALVARRO parking. It is my understanding that a parking lot is
MICHAEL C, RA/I<OWSI:l adjacent to the structure which will provide enough
t\. CHAD McKENNEY parking spaces. The specific question has to do with
the requirement of paving and striping of the parking
MOCLY J. WINGATE lot.
MICHAEL H, DONOHUE In this regard, I would refer ,you to Section 52.13
OF COUNSEL Subd. 5 of the Code of Ordinances found at page 98.
This sets forth the requirements for a parking lot in

The ordinance requires the Planning Commission to approve the
parking lot before construction is started. The parking lot must
have a useable dust proof surface which may consist of concrete,
black top or properly treated crushed rock. If the proposed
parking lot will have any of the three permitted surfaces, the
planning Commission should approve the plan. The Planning
Commission may not require concrete or tar if the property owner
proposes to use treated crushed rock. There is no requirement
that there be any striping of the lot. This may not be required
by the Planning Commission.
Essentially, the Planning Commission should determine that the
requirements of Subd. 5 are met. It is not up to the Planning
Commission to place any more restrictive or burdensome
requirements on the lot. Let me know if you have any questions.

June to) 1994.
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Planning Commission for the City
of St. Joseph met in regular session on Monday, June þ/ ·994. at 7:30 p.m. in
the St. Joseph City Hall.
Members Present: Chair Hub Klein. Commissioners Linda Sniezek, Marge
Lesnick, S. Kathleen Kalinowski, Dan Nierengarten, Andy Brixius, Kurt
Schneider. Council Liaison Ken Hiemenz. Secretary Judy Weyrens.
Others Present: Mayor Donald "Bud" Reber, Paul Pilarski, Steve Dehler, Bob
Borresch, Craig Fouquette.
Paul Pilarski - Public Hearin~: Chair Klein called the hearing to order at 7:30
p.m. The purpose of the hearing is to consider two req uests for variances to
allow for the construction of an accessory building.
The first request is to consider an eight foot variance on the side yard set
back, in an R-1, single family zone. Zoning Ordinance 52.16 subd 6(a) requires
side yard setbacks to be thirty (30) feet from all public right-oi-ways, unless
30 percent or more of the frontage on the same side of the street between two
intersecting streets is improved with buildings that have observed a greater
or less depth of front yard in which instance no new building or portion
thereof shall project beyond a straight line drawn between the point closest to
the street line of the residence upon either side of proposed structure.
The second request is to consider a request for a one hundred (100) foot
variance on the size of an accessory building in an R-1, single family zone.
. Zoning Ordinance 52.16 subd 4.(e) allows a maximum area of 900 square feet for
a garage or accessory building.
The property is located at 300 Minnesota Street East and legally described as
follows: S ectio n 10, Twp 124., Range 29. .65A of NE4.SE4.
The request for variance has been submitted by Paul Pilarski, 300 Minnesota
Street East, St. Joseph, MN 56374..
Paul Pilarski spoke on his own behalf. Mr. Pilarski stated that his proposal
includes the demolition of the existing single car garage and the construction
of a triple stall garage, 1000 sq uare feet. The garage would include a
workshop where he could do welding. The new garage would be further away
from the street than the existing garage.
Commissioners stated that the recent remodeling of his house has improved the
property and felt that the req uest for variance of the side yard setback was
appropriate.
When asked why he didn't set the proposed garage even with the set back of
the house, Mr. Pilarski stated that air flow to the house would be obstructed.
The house is only eleven (11) feet from the proposed garage.
Chair Klein opened the floor for questions îrom those present. Steve Dehler
questioned if the Planning Commission had set precedence by granting
variances on the maximum area in prior years. Commissioners stated that they
have granted variances if they applied to the req uirements as laid out in the
St. Joseph Code of Ordinances.
Commissioners Brixius and Schneider discussed with the Commission the
maximum area allowed and if the parcel in question is large enough to support
a larger garage. St. Joseph Code of Ordinances limits the total lot coverage
for accessory buildings to to eight (8) percent of the total lot area. With that
-~
,
in mind, Mr. Pilarski only has enough property to support a 900 squate foot , )
_ garage.
Brixius made a motion recommending Council approval of the eight (8) foot .
variance as requested. Recommended approval is based on the following
findings:
1) St. Joseph Code of Ordinances 52.7 subd 2(a) - That there are
exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applying to the
property in question as to the intended use of the property that do not apply
generally to other properties in the same zoning distI"ict.
a) The proposed new construction would improve the eyjsting
conditions.
b) Req uesting the petitioner to abide by the setback
requirements would impair an adequate supply of light and
air to the main structure of the property
Additionally, the req uest for variance on the maximum allowed area for an
accessory garage is being requested to be denied. Denial is based on the lack
of findings that would allow such a variance. The property is not large
enough to support the additional 100 square feet.
The motion was seconded by Sniezek.
Ayes: Klein, Kalinowski, Lesnick, Sniezek, Brixius, Schneider,
Nierengarten, Hiemenz.
\Jay es: None. Motion Carried 8:0:0.
The hearing was closed at 8:05 p.m.
Bob Borresch - Flea Market. Building Expansion: Bob Borresch appeared
before the Commission to discuss the possible building expansion for his
property located on CR 75 and Ridgewood Road. Mr. Borresch stated that the -
proposal includes the construction of a storage buüding 40' x 50', 16' in
height. In addition, Mr. Borresch is seeking approval for the operation of a -
flea market. Commissioners informed Mr. Bonesch that his proposals reg uire a
special use permit because he is seeking a building permit in an Industrial
Area, and req uesting an expansion of his existing business. .~t the time of
application for a special use permit, the plans must be drawn and submitted to
the City Offices no later than one week prior to the hearing. Hiemenz
requested Mr. Borresch to verify the railroad right-of-way beÌore the hearing.
The pUblic hearing '.viti be scheduled for July 5, 1994.
Craig Fouo uette: Mr. Fouq uette appeared before the Commission to discuss
the advertising sign by his business located near CR 75 and Ridgewood Road.
The sign is a car that has been painted yellow. .'v1r. Fouo uette explained to
the Commission that since the re-designing of County R.oad 134, it -has been
hard to direct traffic to his business. Therefore, a creative sign is needed to
draw attention to the building. Commission members empathized with Mr.
Fouq uette, but stated that the sign did not fit the reg ulations as outlined in
the St. Joseph Code of Ordinances. Mr. Foug uette stated that he would
remove the sign immediately. Commissioner Kalinowski questioned Mr.
Fouq uette as to the operation of an antiq ue store at his business location, and
if a special use permit would be req uired since it is an expansion of the
business. After discussing the matter, Mr. Fouq uette stated that the antiq ue
operation is not a large portion of the business and most likely will not be
continued.
Approval of Minutes: Kalinowski made a motion to approve the minutes of the
May 2, 1994 Planning Commission as presented; seconded by Nierengarten.
Ayes: Klein, Kalinowski, Sniezek, Lesnick, Brixius, Schneider,
Nierengarten, Hiemenz.

Commission requested a public hearing be scheduled July 5, 1994- at 7:00 p.m.
As stated by the City Attorney ~ any changes to the Zoning Ordinance req uire
a public hearing.
Linnemann Inn Parking Lot: Steve Dehler questioned the Commission as to the
approval of the parking lot plan submitted to the Commission. Commission
members stated that the plan was not approved due to deficiencies in the
plan. Klein stated that the surface material is not dust free. Dehler
responded that the material is a class II rock~ and is the same material the
City uses for parking lots. Additionally, Mr. Dehler felt that he couldn't put
any treated material on the surface without facing possible problems with soil
contamination. Commissioner Kalinowski questioned the designated parking
stalls and how that would be accomplished. Mr. Dehler stated that his plans
did not include any marking. He felt that if he placed markers with signs in
the parking lot he would be creating a liability issue for himself. After a
lengthy discussion Klein reg uested that Mr. Dehler be placed on the agenda
for the July 5, 1994- meeting if he wishes to have this matter resolved.
Additionally ~ it is the impression of the Commissioners that Mr. Dehler is not
making an effort to comply with the Building and Zoning Ordinance.
City Advertising Sign: Hiemenz informed the Commission that the Council is in
the process of constructing a sign for the City Wastewater Plant, Maintenance
Department, Boy Scout ßuilding~ and Shannon's Upholstery. After reviewing
the Ordinances it was determined that the sign is classified an advertising
. sign~ which is only permitted by special use. The Commission scheduled a
hearing for July 5, 1994-.

·Tl1e request of Paul Pilarski for a variance requests came before the
v_ Planning Commission at a public hearing on June 6 , 1994. The purpose
f I,. ..
of tl1e héar1ng'was to consider two requests for variances to
allow for construction of an accessory building.
.- The first request is to consider an eight foot variance on the side
yard set back, in a R-1, Single Fami 1 y zone. Zoning Ordinance 52.16
subd 6(a) requires side yard setbacks to be thirty (30) feet from all
public right-of-ways, unless 30 percent or more of the frontage on the
same side of the street between two intersecting streets is improved
with buildings that have observed a greater or less depth of front yard
in which instance no new building or portion thereof shall project
beyond a straight line drawn between the point closest to the street
line of the residence upon either side of proposed structure.
The second request is to consider a request for a one hundred (100)
feet variance on the size of an accessory building in a R-l, Single
Fami I y zone. Zoning Ordinance 52. 16 subd 4(e) allows a maximum area of
900 square feet for a garage or accessory building.
In consideration of the information presented to the Planning
Commission and its appl icatïon to the Comprehensive Plan and Ordinances
of the City of St. Joseph, the Planning Commission makes the following
findings:
1. St. Joseph Code of Ordinances 52.ï subd 2 (a) : That there are
exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applying to
the property in question as to the intended use of the property that do
not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning district.
. 2. St. Joseph Code of Ordinances 52.ï subd 2 ( d ) : 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 1n any other respect impair the public
health, safety or welfare of the residents of the Ci ty.
ßased upon these findings, the Planning Commission recommends
approval for the eight ( 8 ) foot variance on the sideyard setback.
1. The proposed new construction would improve the existing
conditions.
2 . Requesting the property owner to abide by the setback
requirements would impair and adequate light and alr supply to the
property.
Add i ti onall y, the Planning Commission IS recommending denial of the 100
foot variance on the maximum allowed area for an accessory building.
Denial is recommended based on the lace of findings that would allow
such a variance and the property 1S not large enough to support the
additional 100 square feet.
These findings and recommendations were approved by a vote of 8 to 0 by
the St. Joseph Planning Commission this 6th day of June 1994.

TO: City Council Members
FROM: Dick TauÏen, Public Works Director
RE: Ceiling Mount Screen
After discussing with Councilor Hazen the thoughts of the
Council WIth regards to the ceiling mount overhead screen I
researched the matter further.
In doing so, it is my opinion that the screen currently owned
by the City would not ·work as a ceiling mount ÎOf' the
following reasons:
1 T ~ the legs 1.ver e removed, the mechani sm that holds
1 . ' .
the screen open would come oÎÎ with the ¡o"''O
"''-0''-'·
2 . The screen 1S sprIng loaded and when pulled out
1-1-- must be hooked or attached to something to keep
- ~
it open.
I t would nr\T be impossible to mount the . ....' screen,
. eXIscIng
however it might be awkward and clumsy.
In considering all the options, I have also included for your
convenIence prices for a ceiling mount screen. Please
contact me if you have any additional questions.
