Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Planning Commission for the City of St. Joseph met in regular
.- session on Monday, February 2, 2004 at 7:00 PM in the St. Joseph City Hall.
Members Present: Chair (Council Liaison) Gary Utsch. Commissioners S. Kathleen Kalinowski, Kurt
Schneider, Bob Loso, Jim Graeve. Administrator Judy Weyrens.
Others Present: Jamie Thelen, Richard Hennings, Jim Sand
Approve Aqenda: Graeve made a motion to approve the agenda as presented; seconded by
Kalinowski and passed unanimously by those present.
Sand Companies. Morninqside Acres Concept Plan: Jim Sand spoke on behalf of Sand Companies.
Sand stated that he has recently entered into a purchase agreement to purchase and develop the area
known as Morningside Acres. Sand provided the following background information on the services Sand
Companies provide:
· Construction Services to include general contracting, construction management, on-site
supervision and guaranteed pricing.
· Development Services to include site selection, market analysis, design concept, satisfaction of
budget goals, secure government approvals, cultivation of project capital and financing
arrangements.
· Property Management Services to include full service management, hotels, townhouses,
apartments, marketing, competitive analysis, accounting and network purchasing of furniture,
fixtures and equipment.
· In 1999 Sand Companies had development assets of 56 Million, which has risen to 160 Million in
2003.
· Examples of Townhome development include: 322 Luxury/Upscale town homes in Plymouth; 150
upscale townhomes in St. Cloud (Heritage Park); 10 unit work force townhomes in Albany
. (Countryside).
Sand stated that if the townhomes are approved, Sand Companies will be seeking financing from the
Minnesota Housing Financing Agency (MFHA). The townhomes will be considered work force housing
with income restrictions. The units would be available to families whose income is 60% or less of the
area median income. Sand stated that the financing through MFHA is competitive and is not awarded
until September or October. Therefore, the townhouse portion of the project would not begin until Spring
of 2005. Sand further stated that if successful in receiving assistance, the project must be held by the
awarded agency. Therefore, Sand Companies is looking to become a partner in the development and will
not be selling the development after it is constructed. MFHA Financing requires a 15 year commitment
and offers incentives after 15 years to help the project maintain the goals for which financing was
received.
If the project is allowed to move forward, Sand Companies will conduct neighborhood meetings to inform
the neighborhood of what they can expect from the development. Utsch recommended that the
neighborhood meeting be conducted before the City conducts the public hearing.
Sand stated that work force housing will provide affordable housing in St. Joseph. All the townhomes will
be fully furnished with appliances and the exterior will be as maintenance free as possible. The median
income for this area is $ 58,200. Based on that median, income qualifying families must earn less than $
34,920 per year. When questioned on the proposed rent for the homes, Sand stated that a two bedroom
is anticipated to be $ 655 per month and three bedroom $ 756 per month, inclusive of utilities.
In addition to the townhomes, the proposed development includes 27 single family dwelling units. The
homes will be market rate and all the lots will meet or exceed the minimum design standards. If the
development is approved, the single family homes could be constructed in 2004. Sand stated that they
will sell the lots to residential home builders as Sand Companies does not build single family homes.
. Sand requested the City consider extending the decorative lights to the entrance of the proposed

development. If the lights are extended then Sand companies will continue the lighting in the ·
development.
The Planning Commission questioned Sand as to how he proposed to satisfy the park dedication
requirement. Sand stated that he has not completed the detail for the plan but he understands that he will
be required to meet the park dedication requirement and connect the development to the trail system via
sidewalks. Loso questioned if the proposed plan has been reviewed by the Stearns County Engineer.
Weyrens stated that since the plan before the Commission is concept only, it has not been forwarded to
the County or APO. If the concept is approved, the developer must provide detailed plans which will then
be forwarded for comment and review.
Weyrens stated that if the concept plan is acceptable to the Planning Commission, a public hearing to
amend the Comprehensive Plan must be conducted. The Comprehensive Plan illustrates the area known
as Morningside Acres as Single Family while the development of Townhomes would constitute multiple
family. The same process is needed for the proposed plat of the Walz Farm. The Commission agreed to
conduct a public hearing for the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. Since both of the
proposed developments are in the same planning district, one hearing will be held for both proposals.
The Commission was in general agreement that the proposed development of Morningside Acres is an
acceptable plan and encouraged Sand Companies to proceed to the Platting process.
The Commission discussed the proposed development in relation to the agreement to provide affordable
housing. Utsch stated that since the townhomes are targeted for affordable housing, none of the single
family lots would be required to be affordable in terms of the agreement signed with the area Cities.
Graeve questioned at what time does the City start requiring developers to designate 15% of their
development as affordable and require participation in the Life Cycle Housing Agreement. Utsch stated
that the City is providing affordable housing, but they are not receiving credit for such since the financing
mechanism is not being utilized.
Weyrens clarified that if the valuation for new homes built in 2003 were reviewed, it can be noticed that a ·
large number of homes were valued at or near the target house valuation for the Affordable Housing
Agreement. However, Cities do not receive credit for participating in the Affordable Housing Agreement
unless the property owner utilizes the financing established in the Affordable Housing Agreement. During
2003 the financing mechanism was not in place when the plats were approved, therefore, they did not
qualify. St. Joseph had one unit that applied for the financing and the Developers Agreement had to be
amended to allow for such. Therefore, based on building permit data, the City did provide ffordable
housing, but not through the established program.
Adjourn: Loso made a motion to adjourn at 8:05 PM; seconded by Kalinowski and passed
unanimously by those present.

REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Public Hearing - Comprehensive Plan Amendment
DATE: March 1,2004
AGENDA ITEM
Public Hearing - Comprehensive Plan Amendment
PREVIOUS ACTION
The Planning Commission has been approached by two developers, Rick Heid/Bob Herges and Sand
Companies, to construct R3 housing in developments located adjacent to County Road 121.
HeidlHerges: Requested to construct a R3 structure on the portion of the Walz property that
abuts the Wilshire Apartments. The remaining development will consist of single family homes.
The Planning Commission at the January 5, 2004 viewed the proposed concept plan and
authorized the hearing for the amendment.
Sand Companies: Requested to construct workforce housing on the southern portion of the
. property known as Morningside Acres. The housing will be attached single family home with
income qualifications.
RECOMMENDED PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
COMMENTS/RECOMMENDATIONS
The process for amending the Comprehensive Plan is new to the Planning Commission. Previous
Comprehensive Plans did not include future land uses. The process for reviewing Development requests
include the impact to the Comprehensive Plan. Ifthe proposed development is not consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan a public hearing is requested. Procedurally, we are requiring that the Planning
Commission determine if a request for public hearing wi11 be accepted. The property owners abutting the
property within 350 feet have been notified of the proposed amendment.
In reviewing section eight (Heid/Herges), the only R3 illustrated on the future land use map is adjacent to
95th A venue and behind the single family homes on County Road 121. In reviewing section thirteen, a
section abutting CR 121 from the St. Joseph Township Hall extending to the Sauk River is proposed for
R3 development.
Both of the requests before the Commission abut either existing R3 or future R3 land use.

"Subd. 31: Family.
a) A family is any number of persons living together in a room or rooms
comprised of a single housekeeping unit and related by blood, marriage, adoption, or any umelated
person who resides therein as though a member of the family. Any group of three persons not so

Preliminary and Final Plat, Honer Homes

AGENDA ITEM
Preliminary Plat - Honer Homes
PREVIOUS ACTION
None.
RECOMMENDED PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Recommend the Council approve the preliminary and final plat for Bennet Place and Braden Plat as
presented.
. COMMENTS/RECOMMENDA TIONS
I have reviewed this plat with the City Attorney as the plat contains property already platted and I was
uncertain as to the procedure. To accomplish the platting, the property owner is required to submit a
registered survey illustrating the new lots and Declaration of Home Owner Obligations. The declaration
must indicate the common wall and include responsibilities for repair and maintenance. Both of these
requirements have been met.
The property is currently zoned R2, Two Family and the platting of the property to allow for individual
ownership is permissible and will be consistent with the zoning. In addition the proposed plats have been
reviewed in accordance with the Comprehensive and is consistent with present and future uses.

Dear Members:
The duplexes built on the proposed plat were built in
the early 1970' as student housing. The character of both
the student housing needs and the neighborhood where the
duplexes are located have changed. The duplexes are now
better suited to ownership as single-family residences and
can be priced in the range for affordable housing.
. Therefore, it is the intention of Honer Barnes, Inc. to
convert these two rental duplexes into single-family twin-
homes and market theTh as such.

Dear Members:
The duplexes built on the proposed plat were built in
the early 1970' as student housing. The character of both
the student housing needs arid the neighborhood where the
duplexes are located have changed. The duplexes are now
better suited to ownership as single-family residences and
can be priced in the range for affordable housing.
. Therefore, it is the intention of Honer Homes, Inc. to
convert these two rental duplexes into single-family twin-
homes and market them âS such.
Thank you.

AI Rdssier
Ross Rieke Background:
Gdry Utsch The stated purpose of the B-3 General Business District is to provide for specialized business
and commercial activities at locations where they are easily accessible to residential areas and,
Ddlc Wick at the same time, minimize negative impacts to residential neighborhoods. The intent of the
district is to create attractive commercial and business activities through standards including,
but not limited to larger lot sizes, greenspace and landscaping requirements.
. Staff has noticed that the language included in the district provisions do not specifically allow or
prohibit truck stop and travel plaza uses in the B-3 District.
Action:
Enclosed is sample language which would specifically exclude truck stops and travel plaza uses
in the B-3 General Business District. Following discussion, if the Commission is in favor of the
amendment, a MOTION to recommend approval of the ordinance amendment to the City
Council is in order.

DATE: March 1,2004
AGENDA ITEM
Other Matters - 8 (c) Request to reconfigure the layout in the next phase of Graceview Estates
PREVIOUS ACTION
The City Council and Planning Commission has previously approved the preliminary plat for Graceview
Estates. Graceview Estates plat contained staggered lots and curvilinear roads. Each lot pad was
designed to maximize open spaces and were identified on the preliminary plat. As you are aware public
hearings were held and testimony was accepted. The approval of the preliminary plat came after
considerable discussion and compromise.
. RECOMMENDED PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Deny the request to relocate the roads in the next phase of Graceview Estates
COMMENTS/RECOMMENDATIONS
If the plat is to be changed significantly a new public hearing would be required. If the changes are minor
and shifting the road does not change the design or house pad layout that can be accomplished. However,
if reviewing the comments in the letter it appears as though the residents are requesting for a major
change in the road. The developer's of Graceview, Bob Herges and Rick Heid are not supportive of
changing the layout as considerable resources were spent designing the project and they completed all the
requirements of the Preliminary Plat. It may be possible to shift the road slightly when the actual road is
constructed.

Mayor Hosch and St. Joseph City Council Members,
As Cloverdale residents and property owners along th Ave (current
95th Ave) we would like to encourage you to reconsider the placement
of the two streets feeding onto th Ave from the Graceview
development. Both of those streets currently are placed as such that
the traffic will face directly into our homes. We find this unacceptable.
We are concerned about privacy and safety and feel strongly that our
property valued will be negatively affected. The streets can be
moved to feed onto th Ave. along a property line or they could be
moved to meet the existing roads of Dale and Callaway (301st St and
302nd St).
We hope that you will review this matter as soon as possible, The
time for action is before construction of these roads begin. Thank
you! .

Sincerely,
Tom & Linda Gustafson
