Box 668, St. Joseph, MN 56 (320) 363-7201 To: Plonning Commission Members ð Fax: 363-0342 From: Chad A. Carlson, Planning Commission Secretar ~ Date: 11/7/00 . RE: Planning Commission Meeting Info MAYOR Kenneth J. Hiemenz Pete WalzVariance Mr. Walz is constructing a new garage on his property. Mr. Walz is requesting a variance to the exterior building material requirements which states that the material must be similar in CLERK! nature to the principal structure. In this case, the house exterior is Stucco. Mr. Walz is ADMINISTRATOR requesting a variance to use lap siding on the garage. The color of the siding will match the Cari Schmidt house color. After reviewing the conditions for a variance, I recommend that a variance be granted in this case. However, there was an issue regarding the square footage COUNCILORS requirements of the lot. Apparently, there is a misunderstanding of where the lot line is with Bob Loso the neighbor. I believe Mr. Walz was going to hire a survey to clean up the lot line. I Cory Ehlert suggest that this be brought up at the meeting. .Wit . Niedenfuer Tom Borresch Variance Mr. Borresch is considering the renovation and addition to a facility he owns on County Road #75. The Highway 75 Business District requires that 50% of all four sides of a facility consist of brick or similar material. Since Mr. Borresch is proposing an addition to the facility, the entire building must be brought into compliance with the Ordinance. Mr. Borresch is requesting a Variance to the Ordinance as he wishes not to place any brick or similar material on the structure. After reviewing the conditions of a variance, I recommend that a variance not be grant in this case. In addition, the intent of the Ordinance is to create a corridor to the community that is attractive and this has support from the City Council, Chamber of Commerce, EDA and HCP. Mr. Borresch has the alternative by replacing the siding on the structure as it exists. The City does not require a permit for this activity as stated in 51.1 of the Ordinance. Remember, financial concerns of the property owner, by law, is not a hardship to grant a variance. Pond View Rid2e Six Final Plat Bob Herges, Rick Heid, and Gregg Stroeing will be presenting the final plat for Pond View Ridge 6. I have enclosed a copy of the final plat for your review. As required by Ordinance, the Planning Commission must recommend to the City Council approve or denial of the Final Plat. In addition, the Planning Commission must submit via a letter of transmittal to the City Council making a variation to the minimum lot width on Lots 1,2, and 3 of Block 5. Joe Bettendorfwill be submitting a letter to the Planning Commission regarding any issues that need to be resolved. After speaking with him today, Joe informed me that there isn't anything that is a big concern. Dick Taufen is concerned with Outlots A and B regarding . ownership of the parcels. That needs to be addressed. After reviewing the requirements of final plat approval, I recommend the Planning Commission approval of the Final Plat as presented. Unofficial Minutes - Planning Commission · Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Planning Commission met in regular session on Monday, October 2, 2000 at 6:30 p.m. in the St. Joseph City Hall. Plannin2 Commission Members Present: Commissioners Marge Lesnick, S. Kathleen Kalinowski, Gary Utsch, Cory Ehlert, and Jim Graeve. Planning Commission Secretary Chad A. Carlson. Absent: Chair Hub Klein and Kurt Schneider. Others Present: Rose Arnold, Steve Dehler, Bud Reber, Wayne Paquin, Bob Wasvick, Dennis Dalman, Phyllis Plantenburg, Merle Nolde, Lucelle Lawerance, Kara Hennis, Paula Revier, Diane Moeller, Martin Connell, Jim Meyer, Glen Deutz, Dorothy Deutz, Pete Evans, Karen Evans, Dan Wagner, Doug Lindboe, Roselyn Schmidt, Nacy McDarby, Miriam Ardolf, Ellen Wahlstrom, Donna Malum, Bernie Evans, Bob Felix, Ross Rieke, Tom Sibley, Tom Borresch, Mary Neidenfuer, Christina Meyer, and Laura Krippner. Affordable Housin2 Study Presentation - Dan Finn: Graeve introduced the sponsors of the presentation, elected officials in the audience and speaker Dan Finn. Finn outlined the intent ofthe presentation and the action that the Planning Commission should take in order to move the adoption of the recommendations forward to the City Council of St. Joseph. Finn, representing GRIP, gave a brief history of the organization. Grip is an association of area churches committed to the betterment of the community and region. GRIP is focussing on the number one issue facing the St. Cloud Metro area; affordable housing. GRIP is 20,000 people strong. GRIP focus on affordable housing centered on the actions ofthe St. Cloud Joint Planning Board and the Central Minnesota Housing Task Force report. Finn detailed the actions of the Central Minnesota Housing Task Force over the past 6 months. Representatives 1Ì'om banks, developers, social services, builders, cities and counties served on the task force and many · recommendations were developed. Finn provided a variety of statistics on housing affordability. Banks consider a house to be affordable for an individual if it doesn't consume more then 30% of their gross income. Finn stated construction and land costs are increasing at a higher percentage rate then the incomes of families in the St. Cloud area. Over the past three years, the cost of new housing has risen over 200/0. In the year 2000, the average new home is selling for $120,000. Finn went on to detail the following job types, wages and the mortgage they could afford: ~ Wage Mortgage Computer Programmer $21.21/hr $135,000 Auto Service Technician $16.71/hr $ 88,000 Custodian $8.00/hr $ 44,900 Finn stated that in order for a family to have a home, with expenses, there must be two wage earners. That is what the Task Force focused on. According to income data, the St. Cloud Metro Area household incomes show that over 50% of households make less than $30,000 per year. Finn further stated that 30% of the St. Cloud Area households have two or more wage earners. Finn addressed the following Task Force recommendations: 1) Cost of Land - Zoning policies should encourage greater housing density per acre so developers could use the land more efficiently. 2) Construction Costs - Local governments should allow and builders should employ a wider range of construction methods to reduce costs. 3) City In1Ì'astructure - Local governments should be flexible on requirements for streets, cement sidewalks, curbs and gutters and green spaces where affordable housing is planned as part of the development. 4) Assessment/Fees - Local governments should develop policies to budget for reduction of assessments · and fees that would otherwise apply to affordable housing construction. October 2, 2000 Minutes 5) Life Cycle Housing - New housing developments should include housing for citizens of all incomes · and ages. 6) Consistent Zoning Policies - It is essential that the five cities of the area work in conjunction with one another on zoning changes to create a consistent set of affordable housing regulations for developers. 7) Zoning for Multi-Family Housing - Local governments should add more flexibility to residential zoning districts, no primarily zoned single family housing, to allow for multi-family housing in new development planning areas. 8) Raise Housing Density Levels - Local governments should allow smaller lots and insist on a minimum percentage of affordable housing in new development planning areas. 9) Encourage Pus for Residential Housing - PUDs (Planning Unit Developments) should be encouraged as a way to increase affordable housing. Finn stated that the City Council's in the five cities are working towards the following time line: I) By December I, 2000 all five cities study and vote to affirm the recommendations included in the report, 2) By March I, 2001 a small drafting committee be formed by the five cities to craft a single set of carefully worded ordinances and regulations needed to encourage the implementation of affordable housing, and 3) By July 1, 2001 each of the five cities receive, approve, and implement the ordinances and regulations. Discussion: Roslyn Schmidt stated that many families have two wage earners but their wages are at minimum wage. These families will never be able to afford a home in the St. Cloud Area. Bud Reber stated that St. Joe has a problem with small residential homes being purchased by landlords and converted to rental units. Finn stated that this is a problem throughout the metro area and suggested that local governments develop policies in single family districts. Kalinowski questioned why St. Wendel Township, Ventura, and St. Stephen were not part of the Task Force and the discussions. Finn stated that the Tack Force was commissioned by the Joint Planning Board and those communities · were not part of the process. Finn acknowledges that they will have to part of the solution in the future. Steve Dehler cited some recent Legislative changes that have increased the cost of constructing a home in the state of Minnesota. Dehler suggested that everyone call their State Representative and express their concerns for affordable housing. Diane Moeller stated that she has seen a direct correlation between declining enrollment at Kennedy School and the lack of affordable housing in St. Joseph for new families. Families are finding homes out in the country and in other school districts. Finn stated that the St. Cloud Hospital and the St. Cloud Chamber hosted a meeting of the 30 largest employers in the St. Cloud area. The employers are concerned not only with attracting new employees but retaining the ones they currently employ. Housing is becoming so expensive that employees are looking for better paying jobs. Ehlert stated that the St. Joseph Rental Housing Committee focused on the concept of saving the older housing stock for new families before they are converted to rental units. Ordinances were changed not allowing rental units in an R-l District and limiting them in higher density districts. The intent was to enhance the stock of affordable housing in St. Joseph. S. Merle Nolbe stated that she is concerned with the growth pattern and rapid growth of St. Joseph and the metro area. Noble was referencing the St. Joseph Housing Study. Finn added that St. Joseph has less then a 1 % vacancy rate. Finn further stated that there are other underlying circumstances that prohibit the purchase of a home, such as high credit card debt, recreational toys and high price cars. These folks have a very tough time purchasing a home. Mike Shark stated that transportation is a high cost of home ownership. St. Joseph needs to consider the development a transit system for its residents. · S. Paula Revier cautioned the City that the need for affordable housing is there, but there are pitfalls that exist that may cost the city in the future. October 2, 2000 Minutes Kalinowski stated that cooperation between all the cities is a must in order for the process to work. Finn added that · the developers need to increase the lower priced housing stock, subsidies need to be used, reduce the inftastructure costs, employers need to get involved in housing and foundations can be tapped for funding. Finn further stated that there are financial concerns for cities and new ordinances are the key to help commlUlities work together. Glen Deutz stated that the City of St. Joseph should focus on other priorities such as elderly population that will continue to grow in the future. Ellen Wahlstrom stated that the City must promote mixed housing, better design for apartment complexes, and the developments must be more family ftiendly. Finn stated that all the extras increase the cost of the developments. The City needs to decide if curb and gutter and large parks are a priority. Steve Dehler suggested that the COlUlties and Townships become involved in creating affordable housing. It doesn't have to happen in the City ofSt. Joseph. Dehler further stated that the COlUlty'S Zoning Ordinance - Residential 40 is in direct conflict with affordable housing when you can only have one house per forty acres. Utsch stated that he has concerns with recommendations 1,3 and 4. The recommendations suggest reducing development fees, which will cost the City money, and which are then spread over all the taxpayers. The recommendations will promote less attractive developments, and they will promote the ftactioning of the community. There are some things that the City can't control when it comes to affordable housing. Graeve stated that the City must promote the use ofPUDs for all developments to encourage a mix of housing for YOlUlg and old. Mixed housing developments will diminish the ftactioning of the commlUlity. Ehlert suggested that the developers playa larger role in the process. Engineers need to assist the developers to eliminate costly improvements and higher density developments are the key to reduce the costs per lot. Ehlert further added that if the half-cent sales tax passes in St. Cloud, St. Joseph maybe able to retain some dollars for parks, putting less of a burden on the developer for park development. · Doug Lindboe stated that he is running for City Council this fall and is concerned with the rapid growth in the St. Joseph area. Lindboe stated that the City should assist the residents that live here rather then being concerned with attracting new residents via new businesses. Graeve stated that Task Force study is consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan and supports the recommendations. The Comprehensive Plan must be used as guide for the commlUlity and goals and objectives of the Plan carried forward. Graeve stated that he supports the recommendations as long as the other commlUlities work together. Steve Dehler stated the Legislator made the tax rate on the apartments more flexible and developers need to start taking advantage of the reduction. The City needs to reevaluate their policy on street construction. The current policy puts the burden of construction on the residents. Dehler further stated that he recalls the City assessing the City residents for a county road project that was constructed by the COlUlty. That was not fair to the commlUlity. Ehlert stated that he takes exception to the fact that Dehler is suggesting that the City "double dipped" on a COlUlty road project and collected unused tax dollars ftom the residents. Ehlert stated the City is responsible for the center 24 feet of a county road within the City Limits. Ehlert cited the CR #121 project that will occur next spring. Ehlert stated that during his last four years with the City COlUlcil, they have never charged the residents over and above what it cost to do the project. Bub Reber concurred with Ehlert. Dehler stated that County Road #2 was constructed and the COlUlty paid 100% of the construction cost. However, the City still assessed for the project. Ehlert stated that Dehler's statement is completely false and suggested that he research the City's construction files for the facts of the project. Kalinowski question Planning Commission members if they could support the concepts of the Task Force's recommendations and continue to move the process forward. Kalinowski assured the members that they would have · the opportunity to help draft the Ordinances. October 2, 2000 Minutes Ehlert stated that Finn and the drafting community should do what they can to secure fimding sources to help off set · costs to the City for staff time and legal consulting while drafting the Ordinances. Finn stated that an application would be submitted to the Initiative Foundation to cover legal costs for drafting the Ordinances. Graeve moved to recommend the City Council of St. Joseph adopt the recommendations of the Central Minnesota Task Force on Affordable Housing as presented as it is consistent with the following sections of the Comprehensive Plan; 1) City's Mission Statement 2) Social Objectives A and B 3) Land Use Objectives 1, 2, and 3 of Residential Development The motion was seconded by Kalinowski and passed with the following vote: Ayes: Ehlert, Graeve, Kalinowski, and Lesnick Nays: Utsch Other: Tom Borresch approached the Planning Commission to speak on the issue of renovating a building he owns in the community. The building is located on Hwy #75, adjacent to GM Drilling. Borresch would like to replace the siding on the facility, clean the lot up and add an addition to the back ofthe facility. Borresch states that the current exterior building requirements on Hwy #75 is prohibitive. Members of the Planning Commission stated that he either should comply with the Ordinance or request a Variance to the Ordinance. Borresch stated that he would work with Carlson to complete the necessary paper for a Variance request. Approval of Minutes: Lesnick moved to approve the September 11, 2000 minutes as presented; Seconded by Utsch. The motion passed unanimously by those present.

Administratar City af St. Joseph 21 NW First Avenue P.O. Box 668 St. Joseph, MN 56374-0668 Dear Mayor and Members of the Council: . I have met several times with Ron Kostreba, awner of the lat sauth of East Minnesota Street and west of and adjacent to 12th Avenue, regarding acquisition of right-of-way for future road construction. A sketch of the required right-of-way is enclased. Ran has agreed to the following terms and I hereby submit them to. yau far review and approval: In exchange for the land to be acquired for road right-of-way, the City of St. Joseph will hire'a cantractor ,md will remove the shed on the eastern pàrt af the Kostreba praperty including the building and concrete slab. Removal will take place this summer or fall. In addition, the City will waive any and all future assessments for street and curb and gutter constructian an 12th Avenue SE; this assessment waiver applies to new canstruction, but not to. recanstruction after the new street and curb and gutter have served their useful life. Finally, assessments for additional sewer and water service cannectians installed in anticipation of a future lat split will not be levied until a hookup is made, at which time the property owner will pay a hookup charge in lieu of assessment. The proposed assessment for street and curb and gutter on Minnesota will still be made, except that the frontage measurement will drop from 182.31 feet to 142.31, reflecting the 40 feet of frontage that will be road right-of-way afte,' the transaction has been completed. We currently have one water and three sewer services extended to the 12th A venue side of the Kostreba property in anticipation of three future lots facing 12th Avenue. We are also installing one . additional water and sewer service on Minnesota Street in case there is a north-south property split. SHaRT ELLlO7T LAKE COUNTY. IN HENDRICKsaN INC. ST. PAUL.

Kostreba 1007 Southeast Able Street St. Joseph, MN 56374 Dear Mr. Kostreba: Enclosed is a sketch of the proposed easement the City of St. Joseph wishes to acquire, along with a legal description of the easement area. I am forwarding this information to John Scherer, who will prepare the necessary legal documents for the City. I am also enclosing a copy of my letter to the City of St. Joseph detailing the terms we agreed to . when I met with you in 1996, along with a copy of the City Council Minutes, noting approval of these same terms. .---....... / I reviewed the assessment roll for street, curb, and gutter levied with the 1996 project, and noted you , í were assessed for the entire 182.31 íèet. The City, therefore owes you a rebate for the 40 feet to be I acquired as easement area. This amounts to $1,200.00, based on $7.50/foot for concrete curb and I \ ~er and $22.50/foot for bituminous street. When sanitary sewer and water were constructed on East Minnesota Street, one (1) water service line was installed on the Minnesota Street side of your property, and three (3) sanitary sewer service lines were installed on the 12th Avenue side of your property in anticipation of a possible three-lot split. We did not install additional water service lines on the 12th A venue side, because we did not extend water main to the south on that project. You were assessed for one (1) water service line and one (1) sanitary sewer service line. The other two (2) sanitary sewer connections were to be charged to you as equivalent assessments, only if a lot split was approved and the additional lots would be served by one (1) or both of these service lines. With the pending construction of 12th Avenue as a part of Pond View Ridge 5, I suggest we install three (3) water services to your property on 12th Avenue. If you pursue a three-lot split and it is approved, you would pay the cost of the two (2) additional connections at the same rate as the other lots in the development; if only a two-lot split is approved, you would only pay for one (1) additional service. In other \Vords, your cost would be only for what you use, based on the number of lots in . the final configuration. We should also extend the existing sewer service lines into the easement area, so they are beyond new curb and gutter in the new alignment. Again, you would pay only for what you use.

Ron Kostreba - Prelirninarv Plat Proposal: Kostreba appeared before the Commission to discuss his proposed plat on East Minnesota Street and the proposed lih Avenue SE. Kostreba is requesting to plat the parcel into three lots for single family development. The plat was designed with three lots consisting of 13,000 square feet; 13, I 00 square feet; 13 ,200 square feet. However, one of the proposed lots does not meet the minimum design standards of a 75 foot fronta-ge. Kostreba stated that while the lot abutting MN Street has a rront footage of 86 square feet, he would hesitate to reduce that due to the setback requirements of a comer lot. Kostreba also discussed the need for the City to work with him on his plat as he has some outstanding issues regarding the easement for 12th Avenue SE and utility stubs placed to the proposed plat. The Commission discussed the requirements for granting a variance and the impact of allowing the reduction. After further discussion of the lots and the need for larger lots, the Commission encouraged Kostreba to discuss the matter with the City Council as the issue appears to contain more than preliminary plat approval. The · Commission agreed to schedule the Preliminary Platting hearing for September 8, 1998 with approval of the City Council by action at the August 20, 1998 regularly scheduled meeting.

He discussed the visioning process that began about a year ago, which includes a series TWIT: of information gathering meetings.

Ehlert stated that there are many issues with the preliminary plat and they need to addressed prior submitting the preliminary plat to the City Council. Ehlert made a motion to recommend approval of the Pond View Ridge Six Preliminary Plat, provided that the following conditions be met prior to submitting to the City Council: 1) The developers addresses every concerns submitted in writing by: · Mr. Dick Taufen, Public Work Director · Mr. Joe Bettendorf, City Engineer · Mr. John Scherer, City Attorney 2) If possible, redesign Lots 1,2, and 3 of the Pond View Ridge Six Preliminary Plat to conform with the minimum width requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. The motion was seconded by Lesnick. Discussion: Graeve requested that the motion be amended to include that if wetlands exist in the proposed development, they be preserved and not disturbed by the construction. If a wetland is identified, it will not be mitigated Herges stated that the study will, more then likely, identifY all different types of wetlands due to the type of vegetation that exists. There is every intention to avoid the wetlands, but mitigation of some areas may occur. Again, Stearns County will tells us how to proceed Ehlert stated Stearns County will provide their determination prior to the final plat and the Planning . Commission and City Council can make an education decision about the wetlands when the data is available. We can not make that determination at this point. A cost/benefit analysis of mitigation should be provided to educate the City Council and Planning Commission. Mr. Mark Hiltner added that most of the wetlands in the area are dry and after the development occurs, the large wet may not hold water anymore with the design of the drainage system. Kalinowski suggested that the motion not be amended to include Graeve's request and that Graeve could make a separate motion if he wishes. The motion passed with the following vote: Ayes: Kalinowski, Lesnick, Klein, Utsch, and Ehlert Nays: Graeve Motion Carried Graeve made a motion to preserve and protect any wetland from development as identified by Stearns County within the Preliminary Plat of Pond View Ridge Six; Seconded by Klein. Discussion: Kalinowski stated that the motion made leaves no room for flexibility or special considerations if a wetland is insignificant and could be developed or mitigated Graeve stated the mitigation doesn't benefit the community. If a wetland in the community is mitigated to another part of the township or county, the wetland is lost forever within the community. Herges stated that the development does contain different types of wetlands that will be developed due to their location. Stearns County will determine how mitigation will occur. . Utsch stated that he is not comfortable with voting on such a motion until more information is available from the consultant study and Stearns County. February 7, 2000 Minutes - - Heid stated that they could not support the motion. The motion hand ties the development from occurring if any wetland is present in the development area. Essentially, the development would not happen. The motion failed with the following vote: Ayes: Graeve and Klein Nays: Kalinowski, Lesnick and Ehlert Motion Fails Kalinowski stated that once the consultant study is complete and Stearns County submits their report, a discussion can take place. At this time, there is just not enough information regarding the wetlands to make an educated decision. Herges stated that they would continue to work with the City and Stearns County regarding the proposed development. Their intentions are not to destroy all the wetlands in the development area. The Public Hearing closed at 8:50. Carlson reported on the City Council's decision to impose a rental license moratorium. Ehlert stated that the City Council would appoint a 8-member committee with adequate representation rrom the community and landlords. The moratorium will last for six (6) months, with a recommendation rrom the committee within 90 days. Utsch suggested that the Planning Commission have a meeting with the committee to address the uses within the Zoning Ordinances. Ehlert stated that the Planning Commission should be kept up to speed with the committee's work. Ehlert further stated that he will approach the City Administrator to request that members of the Planning Commission become a part of the committee. Carlson informed the Planning Commission that the City Council approved the Super America Variance request contingent upon the City retaining ownership of the easement area rrom the County. Klein stated his disappointment with the Planning Commission's decision to approve the three lots on Minnesota Street as a part of the Pond View Ridge Six Addition. Klein further stated that creating the three lots in this area promotes development that doesn't have enough room to occur. In his opinion, people have lost respect for their neighbors and their property. Creating three lots in this area will only ensure more property will be damaged in the community. Commissioner Reports: Kalinowski suggested that Planning Commission and City Council start scheduling joint meetings as they did in the past. Ehlert stated that he would bring the request to the City Council at the next meeting. The Planning Commission suggested an April meeting. Utsch restated his request to get a summary of the 1999 building permits issued in the City of St. Joseph. Carlson stated he would provide them at the next meeting. Graeve expressed his appreciation to Carlson for his work to arrange the utility meeting for the Pond View Ridge Six Addition. The meeting was a success by getting all the parties at one table to discuss saving as many trees as possible in the development. Graeve also thanked Carlson for the all the information prepared for tonight's meeting. The information regarding the Pond View Ridge Six preliminary plat was extremely helpful for the discussion. Approve Minutes: Kalinowski moved to approve the January 5, 2000 minutes as presented; Seconded by Dtsch.
