. Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the City Council and City Employees for the City of St.
~ Joseph met in City Hall at 1 :00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 30, 1997 for Sexual Harassment
Training and review of the proposed changes in the Personnel Policy.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Mayor Kenneth J. Hiemenz; Councilors Cory Ehlert, Mary
Niedenfuer, Ken Twit; Clerk! Administrator Rache~ Stapleton.
OTHERS PRESENT: Ellen Longfellow, Judy Weyrens, Dave Theisen, Chad A Carlson,
RichardTaufen, Jim Marthaler, Hub Klein, Ray Bechtold, Mike Sworski, Bmdley Lindgren, Jeff
Young, Steven Fischer, Jean gustin, Joel Bill, Bmdley Meyer, Daniel Nierengarten, Mary
Generous.
Ellen Longfellow conducted Sexual Harassment Tmining for those in attendance.
At 3:20 Mayor Hiemenz called the meeting to order and turned it over to the Personnel
Committee to review the proposed changes in the Personnel Policy with the employees and
gather their input on the changes.
The Personnel Committee of Ken Twit and Cory Ehlert stated a flow chart will be provided and
the exempt and non-exempt status is being reviewed by the attorney.
They stated vacation time will be given with each pay period and maximum amounts of vacation
. and comp time retained is being reviewed.
A public relations questionaire will be provided for public input. The responses will be reviewed
perhaps at employee meetings.
The Personnel Committee intends to recommend the Council purchase and require employees to
begin using time clocks. The reason time clocks are being recommended is for liability issues.
The intent is to determine time on duty. Chief Lindgren and Police Officers felt time clock usage.
would deter flexibility at the beginning and end of shifts. Maintenance Employees also felt
checking in and out would be cumbersome. Mayor Hiemenz stated policies and procedures
would have to be prepared before time clocks are implemented. Jim Marthaler requested to have
an additional time clock installed at the Wastewater Plant if this proposal is approved. He also
recommended looking at other liability issues such as the crowded conditions in the maintenance
shop.
Hours allowed for call back pay was discussed. Mayor Hiemenz indicated "salaried" employee is
not synonymous with "exempt" employee.
There was further discussion of time cards and pay computation. Only the'supervisor is
authorized to approve error's to time sheets. The Deputy Clerk may only correct computational
errors.
.
. If supervisors are aware in advance of the need for overtime, it should be brought to the Council
for prior approval.
.
Employees felt accumulated sick leave should be paid in full on termination in good standing. .

· There was discussion of inclusion of a merit system being used for wage increases. Employees
~ felt due to the nature of government and changes in elected officials, future problems could result
using this type of system due to personality or personal conflicts. Team type reviews were also
, suggested.
The work schedule reference to police was recommended to be deleted.
When possible, any work schedule changes should be done one week in advance of the change.
It was recommended not to require employees to work on a day when they are required to attend
jury duty.
As the hour was late, the Personnel Committee requested the employees to bring other concerns
to their supervisors to be discussed at the Department Head meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:22 p.m. to food and socializing.

F'RO~1 : CHIEF' LINDGREN
SUBJECT: PAWN SHOP ORDINANCE
DEAR COUNCIL MEMBERS,
AT THE OCT 3, 1997 EMPLOYEE MEETING, I WAS ASIŒD TO
ADVISE THE COUNCIL OF MY THOUGHTS ON THE AFOREMENTIONED.
I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE PRUDENT FOR OUR CITY TO HAVE AN
UPDATED ORD.INANCE ON THE BOOKS, AS OPPOSED TO SOMEONE WANTING
TO ESTABLISH A BUSINESS, AND THE CITY REACTS BY LEGISLATION
POST FACTO.
AFTER REVIEWING THE STATE LAW, JOHN SCHERER'S LETTER
AND OUR CURRENT ORDINANCE, I HAVE TWO SUGGESTIONS. THE FIRST ·
ONE IS ONLY A VERBAGE CHANGE FROM OUR ORDINANCE AND RELATIVE
TO RECORDS INSPECTION. CHANGE THE WORDING TO THE EFFECT
RECORDS AND PAWN TICKETS SHALL BE KEPT, PRODUCED UPON DEMAND,
ETC. TO A ST JOSEPH POLICE OFFICER OR STEARNS COUNTY DEPUTY,
DURING ANY HOURS OF OPERATION. THE OTHER CHANGE WOULD BE TO
PROVIDE A COPY OF ALL PAWN TICKETS TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
AT THE END OF THE BUSINESS DAY. (SO WE HAVE EVERYTHING ON
FILE TO CROSS REFERENCE TO BURGLARIES, THEFTS, ETC)
IF THE COUNCIL DOES DECIDE TO UPDATE THE ORDINANCE, I
BELIEVE THESE TWO CHANGES WOULD AVOID MANY POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
IN THE FUTURE. ADDITIONALLY, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH
THE CITY ATTORNEY ON THIS ISSUE IF YOU SO DESIRE.
SINCERELY,
~~~L_-

Re: St. Cloud Area Joint Planning District Joint Powers Agreement
Dear Clerk:
I was requested to review and make suggested revisions to the Revised 8-01-97 version of
the Joint Powers Agreement. Please find enclosed Draft 10-01-97 of the Agreement. You will
observe that I have used a red-line technique, so that it is unnecessary to compare text with other
versions; the original text is easily read with the deleted text lined through and the new text
underlined. It would be useful to have a "sense" from your City Council if the draft is acceptable.
Please communicate your position to Mr. George M. Rindelaub, the Stearns County
Administrator. He may be contacted by facsimile at 656-6393, or by mail at Administration
Center, RM 121, 705 Courthouse Square, 8t. Cloud, MN 5630l.

not been authorized at this time. Based on your proposal dated August 5, 1997, the cost for this work
is as follows:

· The request of Gary Schroeder for a Special Use request came before the Planning
Commission at a public hearing held on October 13, 1997. The purpose of the hearing
. was to consider a Special Use Permit to allow for the construction of a Sports
Warehouse Facility. The property is zoned Industrial, and St. Joseph Code of
Ordinances requires a special use permit for all uses. Notice of this matter was duly
served and published.
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:
Findings: The proposed use is consistent with St. Joseph Code of Ordinances
528 subd 4(a-k)
Based upon these findings, the Planning Commission recommended approval of a
Special Use Permit to allow the construction of a Sports Warehouse Facility on the
following described property ~
TRACT A:
That part of Lot 9, AUDITOR'S SUBDIVISION NUMBER 4, a duly recorded plat in Steams County, Minnesota, which lies East of
the West 186.50 feet thereof North of the northerly right of way line of County Road Number 75 (formerly U.S. Trunk Highway
Number 52) and West of a line drawn Due South from a point which is 800.00 feet Due West of a point on the west line of
SCHNEIDER'S ADDITION, a duly recorded plat in said county and state, distant 800.00 feet northerly of the intersection of said
west line with said northerly right of way line of County Road Number 75. Together with an easement for ingress and egress over
that part of the South Half of the Northeast Quarter of Section 9, Township 124, Range 29, Stearns County, Minnesota, which lies
· with 33 feet on each side of the following described line:
Commencing at a point on the west line of SCHNEIDER'S ADDITION a duly recorded plat in Steams County, Minnesota,
distant 800.00 feet northerly of the intersection of said west line with the northerly right of way line of County Road Number 75
(formerly U.S. Trunk Highway Number 52); thence Due West for 800.00 feet; thence Due South to a line drawn parallel with and
33.00 feet northerly of the north line of Lot 9, AUDITOR'S SUBDIVISION NUMBER 4, a duly recorded play in said county and state,
this being the point of beginning of the line to be described; thence westerly along said parallel line to its intersection with the west
line of the East Half of said Section 9; thence deflect to the left along tangential curve having a radius of 80.00 feet and a central
angle of 53 00, for 74.00 feet; thence southwesterly on tangent to said curve to the northerly right of way line of said County Road
Number 75 and there terminating.
Said easement shall be open to public travel for the enjoyment and benefrt of all parcels abutting thereon.
These findings and recommendations were approved by a vote of 5 to 0 by the St.
Joseph Planning Commission on October 13, 1997.

· Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the Planning Commission for the City of St.
. Joseph met in regular session on Monday, October 13, 1997 at 7:00 p.m. in the St. Joseph
City Hall.
Members Present: Chair Hub Klein. Commissioners Marge Lesnick, Kurt Schneider,
Dan Nierengarten. Council Liaison Cory Ehlert. Deputy Clerk Judy Weyrens
Others Present: Steve Johnson, Len Wiener, Gary Schroeder, Bruce Gohman, Jim
Muellenbach, Bob Wahlstrom, Ellen Wahlstrom, Mike Deutz, Pete Evans, Dave
Thomas, Chad Carlson.
Steve Tohnson - Retail Car Discussion: Steve Johnson appeared before the Commission
to request authorization to park cars east of the property owned by Why USA, 1511
East Minnesota Street. He stated that historically cars have been parked on the vacant
lot and he and his partners would like to continue that service. Johnson presented a
proposed drawing of the site, indicating where the cars would be parked. He stated
they would limit the amount of cars at any given time to four (4).
Johnson stated that they had been selling cars until they received notification from the
City that selling cars was not allowed under the current zoning. Ehlert requested a
copy of the correspondence from the City requesting such. Lesnick expressed concern
with allowing the car lot as it will be at the entrance of the City. Ellen Wahlstrom
· stated a greenway would be more pleasing than a car lot.
Ehlert made a motion to schedule a public hearing for a Special Use Permit to allow
selling of cars at 1511 East Minnesota Street. The hearing will be on November 3, 1997
at 7:00 p.m. The motion was seconded by Nierengarten and passed unanimously.
Schneider stated his objection to a property owner requesting a Special Use or Variance
with the rationale that the property is uniquely shaped or cannot be used for anything
else when the property is purchased for the purpose of development.
Len Wiener: Appeared before the Commission to discuss a proposed mini golf course
in an General Business District. He stated that he is looking at leasing the building on
the comer of College Avenue North and Ash Street West (former VFW).
The Commission was in general agreement that a Special Use Permit would be required
for the operation of such. Additionally, at the public hearing a parking plan would
need to be submitted. The Commission requested Weyrens to contact the City Attorney
to determine the amount of parking that would be required and to schedule the public
hearing for November 3,1997 at 7:30 p.m. Weyrens informed Wiener that the property
owner needs to make application for the Special Use Permit.
.
Garv Schroder - Special Use Hearing, Sports Warehouse Facility: Klein opened the
hearing at 7:40 p.m. The purpose of the hearing is to consider the issuance of a Special
Use Permit. The permit is necessary to construct a Sports Warehouse Distribution
· Facility. St. Toseph Code of Ordinances 52.21 subd 2 states aÍl permitted industrial
uses shall require a Special Use Permit.

TRACT A:
That part of Lot 9, AUDITOR'S SUBDIVISION NUMBER 4, a duly recorded plat in Steams
County, Minnesota, which lies East of the West 186.50 feet thereof North of the northerly
right of way line of County Road Number 75 (formerly u.s. Trunk Highway Number 52)
and West of a line drawn Due South from a point which is 800.00 feet Due West of a point
on the west line of SCHNEIDER'S ADDITION, a duly recorded plat in said county and
state, distant 800.00 feet northerly of the intersection of said west line with said northerly
right of way line of County Road Number 75. Together with an easement for ingress and
egress over that part of the South Half of the Northeast Quarter of Section 9, Township 124,
Range 29, Steams County, Minnesota, which lies with 33 feet on each side of the following
described line:
Commencing at a point on the west line of SCHNEIDER'S ADDITION a duly

SUBDIVISION NUMBER 4, a duly recorded play in said county and state, this being the
point of beginning of the line to be described; thence westerly along said parallel line to its
intersection with the west line of the East Half of said Section 9; thence deflect to the left

Said easement shall be open to public travel for the enjoyment and benefit of all parcels
abutting thereon.
The request for special use has been submitted by Gary Schroeder, Schroder Sports, PO
Box 400, Waite Park MN 56387.
Gary Schroeder spoke on his own behalf. He stated that he has been in the sports retail
business for 35 years and has been operating his business in St. Augusta. He has
recently purchased the property described above and is requesting a Special Use
Permit. Schroeder Sports currently employees nine (9) employees with the primary
business being school distribution of athletic needs. The proposed building will include
a showroom with retail targeted to team sports.
The proposed building is approximately 21,600 square feet including an
officej showroom and two (2) warehouses. The facility will have. two loading berths

· Ehlert rnade a motion to recommend the Council approve the Special Use Permit to
allow the construction of a Sports Warehouse Distribution Facility as presented.
. Approval is based on the following findings:
The proposed use is consistent with St. Toseph Code of Ordinances 52.8 subd 4,
[a-k], standards for issuance of a Special Use Permit.
The motion was seconded by Nierengarten and passed unanimously by those present.
Gohman questioned the sign regulations and how they apply to Schroeder Sports. He
stated the only signage will be constructed of letters each two (2) feet in height with the
name. St. Joseph Code of Ordinances 52.13 subd 11 states: Business or industrial
signs may be erected, attached or painted on to a structure, and maintained in
conjunction with a commercial or industrial use provided: a) that the area on one side
of all such signs erected on one street frontage of anyone premises, shall not exceed
fifty (50) feet.
Gohman stated that because of the length of the name, it will exceed the fifty (50) feet.
The Commission referred this matter to the City Council and City Attorney, but
encouraged the Council to approve the signage.
Schroeder discussed access to the property and if the City would consider plowing the
east / west access. This is private property, but Schroeder felt that since he would not
· be benefiting from many City services, it could be a good will gesture. Ehlert stated
that the Council has not been receptive to plowing alleys, but he will present the
request to the Council.
Bee Line Marine - Building Permit Authorization: Chad Carlson spoke on behalf of Bee
Line Marine. He stated Bee Line Marine is proposing to construct a 48' x 62' addition to
the existing structure. The addition will be used for repair and the existing building
will become a showroom.
The Commission discussed what in their opinion is an unsightly mess around the
existing structure. At times car parts and storage containers have been visible from
County Road 75.
Therefore, Lesnick made a motion to authorize Bee Line Marine to make application for
a building permit contingent upon the following:
1. The property owner will provide a plan as to where repair parts and storage
containers will be located before a certificate of occupancy is issued or the
final inspection. ,
2. The property owner will not store any car parts, repair parts, packing
materials or debris in the front of the building, visible from County Road 75.
· The motion was seconded by Nierengarten and passed unanìnÍously by those present.

Council Liaison Reports .
.
Ehlert discussed the Land Use Moratorium and Council comments to such. He stated
that not all members of the Council are supportive of the proposal recommended by the
Commission. The major concerns are the properties abutting and west of County Road
133, (Graeve and Wahlstrom), and the Scherer property (vacant lot). It is the opinion of
some Councilors that this is spot zoning and future planning was not considered.
Ehlert expressed his disappointment in the Council not expressing their views before
the public hearing.
Ehlert also stated that he cannot project 20 years in the future and would rather review
the zoning every five years. If the Commission is responsible for reviewing the
Comprehensive Plan every five years, the zoning should also be reviewed.
Ellen Wahlstrom stated her objection to zoning her property General Business. She
stated that the residential neighborhoods of St. Joseph should be preserved. The
Comprehensive Plan adopted by the City of St. Joseph states the City will do such.
Wahlstrom encouraged the Commission and City Council to abide by the
Comprehensive Plan.
Mike Deutz stated that in his opinion single family homes will not develop along
County Road 75 and therefore the property should be zoned General Business.
Adiourn: Lesnick made a motion to adjourn at 9:07 p.m.; seconded by Nierengarten .
and passed unanimously by those present.

. Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Planning Commission for the City of S1.
Joseph met in special session on September 29, 1997 at 7:00 p.m. in the S1. Joseph City
Hall.
Members Present: Chair Hub Klein. Commissioners S. Kathleen Kalinowski, Marge
Lesnick, Linda Sniezek, Dan Nierengarten, Kurt Schneider. Council Liaison Cory
Ehlert, Deputy Clerk Judy Weyrens.
Others Present: Art Hiemenz, Edith Hiemenz, John Kierzek, Martha Kierzek, Joan
Lammersen, Greg Kacures, Arlene Primus, Al Brand~nburger, Steve Streng, Robert
Rice, Leon Hoffman, Frank Hamitra, Marvin Feld, Gene Pfannenstein, Ken Hiemenz,
Ken Twit, Chad Carlson, Bill Wasner, Chuck Fuchs, Lawrence Rennie, Marie Rennie,
Robert Nathe, Delmar Dietman, Mike Deutz.
Chair Klein opened the hearing at 7:00 p.m. The purpose of the hearing was to consider
the rezoning of certain property in the following areas:
1. North of Minnesota Street to County Road 75 from 3rd A venue NE to 16th
Avenue (former 91st Avenue)
2. North of County Road 75 and West of College Avenue North from College
A venue North to the westerly end of the Corporate Limits.
Council Liaison Ehlert discussed the implementation of the Land Use Moratorium in
. the above stated areas, and at this time the Commission is presenting the proposed land
use map for those areas. (See attached Table A and Table B)
Klein opened the floor for comment and questions:
Residents presented questions specific to the zoning of their property at which time the
Commission clarified current zoning classifications.
Members of the Mobile Home Park expressed concern with the possible development of
the former Lyman Hull property. It is their understanding that a developer wishes to
construct a multiple family complex. Their concern is the increased traffic and impact
on the Mobile Home. The trailer park houses many families with children and feel it
would be a safety hazard.
Al Brandenburger: Questioned what the zoning changes on East Minnesota Street
included.
Ehlert responded that the most significant change is rezoning all property with single
family homes to R-1, Single Family from R-3, Multiple Family.
Gene Pfannenstein: Stated his objection to rental units in a Sing~ Family Zone and
requested the Planning Commission prohibit student rental units in Single Family.
districts.
-, Mike Scherer: Stated objection to his property being zoned R- r Single Family. The
recent assessments have increased the cost of the property and it would not be feasible
~- .10 develop as Single Family. Additionally, he stated they have spent considerable
September 29, 1997 Page 1 of 4
money in the past zoning their property and he does not wish to go through that .
process again.
Sniezek questioned what he would like his property zoned. Scherer responded that
he is considering patio homes or senior housing in the future and would like the
Commission to leave the property zoned R-3.
Ken Twit: Stated his objection to changing the zoning classification of individual
properties such as Scherer s. In his opinion that is spot zoning, something the City is
opposed to. The same can be said for leaving the Wahlstrom and Fuchs property as
Single Family. Those properties should be zoned General Business. The purpose for
implementing the Land Use Moratorium was to review the zoning and look 20 years in
the future to determine the best and highest use for the property. Further, Twit stated
that changing the zoning classification does not place great limitations on the property
owner. The value of the property will actually increase.
EWert responded that finds it difficult to project within a 20 year time frame and
would prefer to review the zoning every five years.
Kurt Schneider: Explained the grandfather status and the associated limitations with
regard to non-conforming uses. He stated that a non-conforming use does have
limitations that may not be acceptable to property owners, such as not being able to
expand the existing structure. It is his understanding that some of the residents are
just looking for protection from business encroachment when adjacent to single family
homes.
Tim Graeve: Expressed concern about encroachment of business in residential .
neighborhoods. It is his opinion that the City should designate an area that is general
business so the neighborhoods can remain intact. The Planning Commission should
look at what makes a "good town". He also stated objection to encouraging business
along County Road 75 as it would detract from the aesthetics of St. Joseph, and in his
opinion become an extension of Division Street.
Kurt Schneider: The Planning Commission has discussed where business development
should be located. New businesses would rather locate along CSAH 75 where parkihg
can be provided, as opposed to locating on Minnesota Street with limited parking. In
Commissioner Schneiders opinion addressing the parking situation on Minnesota
Street will take a community effort.
Tohn Kierzek: Questioned the impact on property values.
Weyrens explained that although the property value may increase with different
zoning classifications, the rate at which a property is taxed is determined by the current
use of the property, not by zoning.
Bill Wasner: Questioned the Planning Commission as to what w,ill happen next and if
there will be additional meetings.
Weyrens responded that this meeting is the public hearing and the Commission must
table the meeting or recommend to the Council at this meeting.
Arlene Strickler: Requested assurance that development of the former Lyman Hull r
property will not increase the traffic in the Mobile Home Park. .-
September 29, 1997 Page 2 of 4
. .
. Twit responded that all streets are for public use and therefore the City could not
limit the use thereof. If the property were developed it would be in the best interest of
. the City to require a second access, possibly to College Avenue. The City already has
a situation where a development has only one access and it is his opinion that the City
would not get into a situation like that again.
-
Chad Carlson: Before the development of the former Lyman Hull property many
issues need to be resolved, including an additional access.
Ehlert questioned if there were any additional comments to the Land Use Moratorium
area #1, along East Minnesota Street.
Jim Graeve requested the Commission zone the property owned by Wahlstrom as R-l,
Single Family. Wahlstroms could not attend this meeting but were under the
understanding that their property would not be zoned General Business. At the last
Planning Commission meeting they requested protection from business encroachment
on residential properties.
Commissioners present generally agreed to recommend the Council zone the property
owned by Bob and Ellen Wahlstrom as R-l Single Family.
There being no additional comments, Sniezek made a motion recommending the
Council approve the following zoning changes:
. 1. All properties in the Moratorium area North of Minnesota Street East
fronting 3rd Avenue NE will be changed from R-3 to R-l.
2. All property fronting Minnesota Street East from the comer of 3rd A venue
NE to the Roske Property will be changed from R-3 to R-l.
3. Roske Property to be zoned as follows: Remains General Business with the
exception of the lot where the Fire Hall is constructed. That portion is to be
zoned Public.
4. All property fronting Minnesota Street East from 4th A venue NE to 5th
Avenue (Minnesota Street entrance on SE, to include property owned by
Charles Fuchs and William Wasner) to be changed from R-3 to General
Business.
5. All property from the extension of 5th SE to County Road 133, with the
exception of the property owned by Graeve and Wahlstrom will be changed
from R-2 to R-3.
6. Property West of County Road 133 and abutting such (Graeve and
Wahlstrom) to be changed from R-3 to R-l (excluding the Roske Property)
7. All property abutting and North of Minnesota Street East and East of County
Road 133, excluding the vacant lot owned by Mike Scherer, and South of the
Section/Quarter line from County Road 133 to 915t Ayenue to be changed
from R-3 to R-l.
8. The property abutting East Minnesota Street excluded in #7 is to remain R-3.
9. All property abutting and North of Minnesota Street East and North of the
. Section/ Quarter line lying east of County Road 133 to be zoned. General
Business.
.
September 29, 1997 Page 3 of 4
The motion was seconded by Kalinowski and passed unanimously. .
Moratorium Area # 2 - North of County Road 75 and west of College A venue North to
the westerly end of the Corporate Limits. Ehlert made a motion recommending the
Council adopt the following zoning changes:
1. All property abutting College Avenue North between Date Street West and
Elm Street West is to be changed from R-3 to General Business
2. All property in this area currently zoned Industrial, with the exception of the
wetland immediately North of the former Krebsbach Bulk Tank Facility, is to
be changed to General Business.
3. The wetland described in #2 should be designated as Public.
The motion was seconded by Kalinowski and passed unanimously.
Ehlert made a motion to request the City Council lift the Land Use Moratorium effective
upon Council adoption of the above recommendations. The motion was seconded by
Lesnick and passed unanimously.
Next Meeting: Carlson requested the Planning Commission postpone the October
regular meeting to October 13, 1997 to accommodate a petition for a Speical Use Permit.
Gary Schroeder is requesting a Special Use Permit to construct a warehouse facility. He
would like to begin construction the week of October 13, 1997.
Kalinowski stated her objection to changing the meeting date as residents need to know
that the Planning Commission meets the first Monday of each month. The Commission .
has always been accommodating and is willing to schedule special meetings if needed.
Lesnick and Sniezek concurred and indicated the developer should be required to
schedule a special meeting as not all Commissioners will be able to attend an October
13, 1997 meeting.
After considerable discussion the Commission agreed to this one time meeting change
and clarified that if a petitioner cannot meet the schedule for the first Monday meeting,
a special meeting will need to be scheduled. Additionally, the petitioner will be
required to pay the associated costs for scheduling such.
Adiourn: Lesnick made a motion to adjourn at 8:50 p.m.; seconded by Sniezek and
passed unanimously.

· Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Planning Commission for the City of St.
Joseph met in special session on August 26,1997 at 7:00 p.m. in the St. Joseph City Hall.
-
Members Present: Chair Hub Klein. Commissioners S. Kathleen Kalinowski, Marge
.. Lesnick, Linda Sniezek, Dan Nierengarten. Council Liaison Cory Ehlert. Deputy Clerk
Judy Weyrens.
Others Present: Economic Development Director Chad Carlson, Charlie Berg,
Raymond Loehlin, Ellen Wahlstrom, Bob Wahlstrom, Rita Douvier, Dave Douvier, Bill
Wasner, June Hoffmann, Leon Hoffmann, Greg Kacures, Charlie Klocker
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the existing zoning of the property described
below and to review the appropriateness of such. If zoning changes area required, a
public hearing will be held in September. The following is the area to be reviewed:
1. North of Minnesota Street to County Road 75 from 3rd Avenue NE to 16th
Avenue (former 91st Avenue)
2. North of County Road 75 and West of College Avenue North from College
A venue North to the westerly end of the Corporate Limits.
Klein stated that the Planning Commission is seeking citizen input on the proposed
rezoning of the above properties. In an effort to conduct long range planning, the
· Planning Commission requested the Council place a Land Use Moratorium on the
above described property. The Council did place the Moratorium and allowed the
Planning Commission 90 days to review and make a recommendation to the Council.
At this time the Commission is seeking input from affected residents. Klein opened the
floor to anyone wishing to speak.
Raymond Loehlin: Questioned the affect zoning has on tax values.
Weyrens responded that property is taxed on the use not the zoning classification.
Charlie Berg: Questioned the intent of the Planning Commission and the affect the
changes will have on property owners.
St. Joseph EDA Director, Chad Carlson, presented an illustration of proposed changes
(see Table 1 and Table 2). Carlson stated that the majority of changes reflected reducing
zoning from R-3 to R-l. The zoning changes will not affect the current useof the
property, nor will it have an adverse affect upon selling. Some of the zoning changes
may bring properties into non-compliance, but this will not force any owner to cease
the current use of their property.
.
Ehlert explained that when the City annexed the property SE of Minnesota Street,. it
came into the City with the Township land use designations. There being considerable
differences in permitted uses as designated by the City and Township the Planning
Commission is reviewing the zoning for appropriateness. It is the job of the Planning
· Commission to project land uses in the future and that is the purpose for the Land Use
,Moratorium.
.
~
· EWert also discussed the need to review the property adjacent to County Road 75
.. (North side) and West of College A venue North. At one time the City viewed the area
along County Road 75 for potential Industrial Development. However, since the
annexation of the Industrial Park the focus has changed. While the focus of the area
. along CSAH 75 has changed the zoning classification of Industrial remained. Therefore,
the Planning Commission is reviewing this area as to what is the best and highest use
for that property.
Raymond Loehlin: Discussed the proposed expansion of 12th Avenue SE and the effect
it would have on the neighborhood. He also questioned the difference between R-1 and
R-2.
Weyrens responded that R-1, Single Family, allows for single family dwellings and
only allows rental units for up to 3 unrelated person. Home occupations are also
identified and allowed in this area. R-2, Multiple Family, allows for rental units with a
maximum limit of 2 units per property (lot). Density per unit is based on the amount
of square footage per unit.
Ellen Wahlstrom: Questioned the required buffer between zoning districts and the need
for the Planning Commission to protect the Single Family dwelling adjacent to a
Business District.
Klein stated that the Ordinance does not provide much in buffer allowances.
However, the Planning Commission will be reviewing the existing Zoning Ordinances
and will consider additional buffer allowances.
· Wahlstrom discussed the problems the neighborhood surrounding Silver Motors is
experiencing and hopes the Planning Commission will provide protection for Single
Family Dwellings near Industrial or Commercial Development.
Carlson discussed the Roske Property and his recommendations. He stated that the
portion of the property where the Fire Hall is located should be designed as Public, the
one lot adjacent to 4th A venue SE and Minnesota Street East is not a prime commercial
lot and could be zoned General Business or Single Family and the remaining Roske
Property should be designated as General Business.
Charlie Berg: Questioned if on the property owned by Scherer where zoned R-1, could
patio homes or single family homes be constructed.
Klein stated that Single Family development would be allowed depending on the
style of homes constructed.
Linda Sniezek discussed the need for the Planning Commission to plan for the future
and determine what is the best use for the property, how is St. Joseph growing and
where we want to be in the future. ,
Bill Wasner: Requested that his property remain as General Business as he has been in
business since 1940.
· Dave Douvier: Questioned the impact re-zoning would have on the sale of his
property.
,. . .
^
· Weyrens stated the property would be allowed to continue the current use unless
there is a one year lapse of continued use. This only applies if the use is determined to
- be in non-compliance. Additionally, property is taxed on the use not the zoning.
. (Ehlert left 8:25 p.m.)
Raymond Loehlin questioned what a buffer is. Commissioners responded that a buffer
is open space that is required as a setback. This type of setback helps prevent
encroachment on adjoining zoning districts.
Leon Hoffmann: Requested that his property west of County Road 133, North of
Minnesota Street, and east of 4th A venue NE be designated as General Business or R-3.
The property is currently a 4 unit apartment building.
Bill Wasner discussed the possible contaminants on the former Lyman Hull property
and the limited development possibilities. It is his opinion that the best use for that
property be for storage or warehouse. Wetlands are also a deterrent for development
and resale of the property.
The Commission also discussed the former Krebsbach bulk tank distribution property
and the best use for that property. The Commission was in general agreement to
change the designation from Industrial to General Business.
· Lesnick made a motion to adjourn at 9:00 p.m.; seconded by Nierengarten. The motion
passed unanimously by those present.
