I have prepared this letter to summarize the issues to be FRANK J. RAJKOWSKI . t considered by the Planning Commission in reviewing the request for rezoning and . GORDON H. HANSMEIER approval of the preliminary plat. FREDERICK L. GRUNKE With regard to the request to rezone the property to R3, I would defer to the THOMAS G. JOVANOVICH discretion of the Planning Commission with regard to this issue. Rezoning requests JOHN H. SCHERER are typically governed by the Comprehensive Plan and adjacent land uses. I would PAUL A. RAJKOWSKI t note that the property in question is adjacent to property currently zoned R3. KEVIN F. GRAY Several years ago, significant areas of the property lying north of County Road 75 WILLIA:o.! J. CASHMAN and south of the railroad right-of-way were rezoned to R3 for the purpose of RICHARD W. SoBALVARRO creating an area for multiple housing which did not conflict with expanding BRIDGET M. LINDQUIST residential areas. Although the Comprehensive Plan was not amended at that time, BRIAN L. WILLIAMS the rezoning was a clear statement of a change in policy. Therefore, the rezoning request is certainly not improper. The only problem I see with rezoning to R3 is the creation of a lot that does not meet the 150 foot lot width requirements of Section 53.18. That observation FRANK J. RAIKOWSKI AND assumes that the portion of the lot abutting College Avenue is the front for setback RICHARD \V. SoBAL Y ARRQ ARE and width considerations. ADMITTED TO PRACfICE IN NORTH DAKOTA. Subdivision: Section 54.7, Subd. 4, of the Subdivision Ordinance requires the GORDON H. HAN5MEIER IN minimal lot width of 75 feet at the building setback line and a minimum lot depth NORm DAKOTA AND WISCONSfN, PAUL A. RAJKO\'oiSKI IN WISCONSIN, of 125 feet. This plat is difficult to evaluate dùe to the fact that the property abuts AND WrLLlA~1 J. CAsHMAN IN a maintained street on one side while abutting a closed street on another. SoUTH DAKOTA. Theoretically, if the front of the lot is that which abuts College Avenue, the lot - created by the plat meets the minimum requirements for width and depth. - , , It MEMBER OF AMERICAN BOARD OF TRIAL ADVOCATES. t QUALIfIED ADR NEUTRAL. ~ ~ ... Ms. Judy Weyrens . October 27, 1997 Page -2- The ordinance also requires a 15 foot separation buffer from railroad right-of-way which should be added to the width or depth requirements of any lots backing on a railroad right-of-way. Therefore, technically the minimum width of the lot should be 90 feet rather than 75 feet as measured at the setback line. Section 57.7, Subd. 3, requires the consideration of a frontage road for property abutting a railroad right-of-way, Due to the other streets in the area, I do not believe that this needs to be a consideration, Development Approval: I also reviewed the proposed development in light of the further requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 52.13, Subd. 4c, sets forth the parking requirements for a multiple family housing project. Those requirements are two stalls per unit. The proposed development, as set forth in the site plan, would appear to have more than the required 16 parking stalls, unless some of the stalls shown on the drawing are designated for use by other adjacent properties. If so, I would limit consideration to thos6,stalls not previously dedicated to the purpose of allowing another property to meet its parking requirements. Section 53.18, Subd, 5, sets forth performance standards for R3 property. A minimum area per lot is 12,000 square feet. According to the plat, Lot 1 is .86 acres or 37,461.6 square feet. . The ordinance also has a minimum lot size established by the amount of units and the size of units located on the property. Assuming that each of the units would be a three-bedroom unit (which is unclear from the drawing), the minimum lot size grows to 32,000 square feet. The lot still exceeds the minimum by over 5,000 square feet. Section 53.18 also sets a minimum width of 150 feet at the building setback line or 80 feet at the right- of-way. I am concerned that the lot appears to be only 101.46 feet where it abuts College Avenue. Although the lot becomes slightly wider as it moves back from the street at the building setback line, the width is clearly less than 150 feet. Again, that is assuming that the front of the lot is that part which abuts College Avenue which would be the interpretation consistent with my analysis finding that the lot met the minimum requirements for subdivision purposes. Therefore. I believe that the lot mav not meet the minimum width requirements and a variance should be requested prior to approval. I would also call to the Planning Commission's attention that the setback requirements are 35 feet for the front yard, 20 feet for any interior side yard, 30 feet for any street side yard and 40 feet for the rear yard. The site plan does not set out the building setbacks, You should request that information before approving the site plan and issuing a permit. Section 53.18 requires the developer to present building and lan~scape plans to the Planning Commission for approval before a building permit is issued, Therefore, even if the prop~rty is rezoned and the subdivision approved, a more specific site plan containing building and landscapiÌlg plans must .. be submitted to the Planning Commission for consideration before construction commences. - I suggest that the site plan be referred to the Fire Chief for review as well. - " V f . ~" ,;. . Ms. Judy Weyrens October 27, 1997 Page -3- The site plan presented for my review also indicates four units to the west of College Street, partially occupying the area designated as Outlot A. It appears as though the majority of that proposed development falls outside of the City limits. I am assuming that the City is not being asked to take any action at this time approving the development or rezoning that property. Once the adjacent property is annexed, the issue 'of rezoning and development can be considered together. As of this time, Outlot A would not be a buildable lot. Due to the fact that the remainder of the property falls outside the City limits, it need not be addressed by the City at this time. I believe that the owner's intent should be ascertained at this time to ensure that Outlot A will later be added to adjacent property to constitute a buildable lot. As presented, the development and plat does not appear to encroach the area platted as North Street. I will defer to Joe Bettendorfs opinions regarding the impact on the water tower. If the area proposed for development affects the City's ability to maintain the tower, the City should explore the option of acquiring this property, by a negotiated sale or eminent domain. I will assume that the City has no intention of reopening any portion of North Street at this time nor officially vacating this platted public right-of-way. When the site plan is presented for review by the Planning Commission, issues relating to landscaping, screening, traffic barricades, etc. should be addressed and measures taken to protect the . adjacent properties as appropriate. If you have any specific questions regarding the matters outlined herein or the proposal, please let me know. Very truly yours, RAJKOWSKI HANSMEIER LTD.

Box 668 S1. Joseph, MN 56374-0668 Dear Judy: :.;;., I have reviewed the Preliminary Plat for North Park 3rd Addition and have the following comments: . Layout Outlot A effectively blocks access to the property west of College A venue, making North Street the only way in. If North Street is to be developed west of College A venue in the future, provision should be made for additional right-of-way frorn the south side of Outlot À. Drainage The drainage arrows indicate that water will be directed to the north and west along the north property line. This will cause the runoff to go on to the College A venue right-of-way and the adjacent railroad property. We should be sure to have the concurrence of Steams County and the Burlington Santa Fe Railroad Company for this drainage pattern. - Sanitary Sewer The sanitary sewer on Elrn Street East is not correct as shown. The actual line ends approximately 270 feet east of College A venue. This line is quite shallow and the Developer will have to be careful in setting his floor elevations to be sure there is drainage. As an alternate, the 10-inch sanitary sewer running north across the east end of the property should provide adequate depth for connection of the proposed buildings. Water Main . .. The water main on Elm Street is not correct as shown. The main from College A venue· to a point opposite the water tower is 8-inch pipe, and the main from this point to 1st Avenue NE is 12-inch pipe, as is the main going into the tower. There is a 12-inch main lying east ofthe lO-inch sanitary - sewer which crosses the railroad right-of-way at 1 st Avenue NE. There is a 6- inch water main stub - to the north on Elm Street just east of College Avenue. ~ . SHORT ELLIOTT HENDRICKSON INC. ST. PAUL, MN MINNEAPOLIS. MN CHIPPEWA FALLS, WI MADISON. WI LAKE COUNTY. IN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Ms. Judy Weyrens . October 24, 1997 Page 2 . Water Tower As you know, the water was constructed on North Street in 1993 in a location specifically designed to provide sufficient clearance around the tower for aesthetic purposes and for future maintenance. It was assumed at the time that the railroad property to the north would remain vacant, or would become available to the City in the future if the railroad decided to sell. We have a light pole for the tower located on the property by pennit from the railroad. To my knowledge we have not received any fonnal notice to date that the pennit wi1l be revoked due to sale of the property. We typically try to keep an open space of at least 100 feet around the entire perimeter of a water tower. This tower is located so that the distance between the outside of the bowl and the southerly property line of the proposed plat is only 10 feet. Current Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regulations for water tower rehabilitation require that a ground cover be placed out from the tank a distance of2/3 the tan,k, height to catch material during removal operations for lead based coatings (1996 regulations). Our tower is approximately 160 feet high so the distance out would be 106 feet from the exterior of the bowl. While we do not have lead based paint on the tower and therefore are not subject to the rule, I am concerned that the criteria could be expanded in the future to cover other constituents in the currently used coating systems. In addition, we can currently use a process called water injected blasting to remove the existing paint when it comes time to recoat the tower. This . eliminates dust, but creates a slurry that drops to the groUfld, and a ground cover is required to catch this material. The cost to recoat the tower using this process is $125,000 to $150,000. Ifwe do not have room to allow this material to drop, we must go to full containment of the tower, which amounts to constructing a shroud to enclose the entire structure, a process currently necessary for removing lead based paints. This would add between $60,000 and $80,000 to the recoating cost. I cannot emphasize enough that we need Uflobstructed open space around the tower in all directions to enhance its appearance and provide for future maintenance. Restricting this space with resí~ential development will add substantially to future maintenance costs. For these reasons, I recommend that the property in question remain agricultural, and that the City consider purchasing it from the owner for open space. This concludes my remarks. Please contact me if you have any further questions. Sincerely, ~~ Jose hR. Bettendorf, P.E. .

Box 668 St. Joseph, Minnesota 56374 Re: preliminary Plat of North Park 3rd Addition Dear Ms. Weyrens: As requested we have reviewed the above referenced preliminary plat and site plan for North Park Jrd Addition. The proposed plat is located directly south of the Burlington Santa Fe Railroad right-ot-way, which iG subject to abandonment and north of a segment of North Street, from county state Aid Highway . (CSAH) 2 to Elm Street East, that has been vacated. The plat is sp1it by CSAH 2. currently, CSAH 2 has a right-of-way of 66 feet and operates as a Minor Arterial. The site plan identifies 78 parking stalls, 23 of which utilize a driveway directly onto CSAH 2 since minor arterials emphasize traffic mobility rather than land access, direct driveway connections are discouraged and should be oriented to side streets. However, recognizing the unique shape of this site, it may not be possible to achieve this driveway orientation. Due to the traffic growth potential for CSAH 2 and its function as a minor arterial, the City/County should require the dedication of an additional 17 feet of right-of-way on both sides of the roadway. This would provide a total width of 100 feet of right-of-way for future roadway improvements. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me.

City Attorney: Does not meet the 150 Width requirements of Section 53.18, does not meet the technical minimum width of 90 feet S54.7 Subd. 4, possible insufficient parking, setbacks unclear, decreased accessibility to/increased cost of maintaining water tower, would require a variance. City Engineer: . Additional right way of way required, drainage concerns, insufficient clearance around water tower for maintenance, increased cost of water tower maintenance, conflicts with original water tower site selection criteria. St. Cloud APO: Parking lot/driveway connection to CSAH 2, additional right-of-way required for future roadway improvements (decreases lot size/increases set back) County Engineer: Access to CASH 2, platted drainage easements conflict with parking lot, undesirable intersection on CSAH 2. Most importantly, we agree with the city engineer, that the property should be purchased by the city for open space. This was the reason for the original site selection for the Water Tower. Additionally, with the possibility of the Railroad right of way to be converted to a trail in the near future, we believe the site would serve the community best as a rest area or park and I would be personally willing to commit resources to assist the city and nonprofit groups to acquire/improve the property.

JOSEPH, MINNESOTA 56374 Office of the Chief October 31, 1997 To: St. Joseph Planning Commission This letter is in reference to a conversation that I had with Mr. Lampert about a proposed apartment building that he would like to build. This apartment building he would like to build would be near the St. Joseph water tower. Although the plan I received, did not have any dimensions on it; the drawing shows a parking lot on each end of the building, and no street on either side. This would not allow the Fire Department trucks to access this building very well. The parking lots on each end will probably have vehicles . in the way for flIe trucks to maneuver around. The railroad on the north side of the property is still in use, but even if it is vacated there will be no maintenance to it, such as snow plowing. The Fire Department would most likely make its flIst attack from Elm Street, which would mean laying about two hundred feet of hose, before we could get to the front door if a flIe would break out. The fuel load of this building is enormous, constructed of wood and other combustible materials. This building should be sprinkled, especially because of the heavy occupancy. Mr. Lampert doesn't intend to do this. Therefore, I would not recommend that the planning commission allow this apartment building to be built. ~j~ David A.

Representatives from DTED will make a presentation to the participating businesses on October IS, 1997. Carlson is requesting that representatives from the EDA be available for the presentation. . Industrial Park Update: Carlson updated those members present who could not attend the joint meeting of the City Council and EDA. The Council approved the Engineer to prepare the topographic studies of the proposed three phase development of the Industrial Park. However, approval was based on the contingency that the costs would be recaptured by the property owner or outside sources. Carlson stated that he is in the process of making application for a $5,000 grant from the Central Minnesota Initiative Fund to be used for the design of the Industrial Park. Additionally, he will be meeting with Stearns Cooperative Electric Association and USDA for possible funding. Gohman questioned if the property owner, Leo Buettner, is willing to participate in the costs. Carlson stated that he has not contacted the property owner as he has just received the costs of the necessary work. Twit updated the Authority on the progress of securing an additional ingressj egress to the Industrial Park. The Railroad may allow the City to cut the rail out for the crossing with the understanding that if the party purchasing the entire track intends to use the rail, the City will pay to reinstall the section of rail cut out.
