*Explanation of retail-service plan for MHI Trailers.
vVhat we want to do is sell trailers. . . mostly new at the Minnesota Home
Improvements building site for 1 year as we wòuld like to in the future move most all
operations, including the trailers, Minnesota Home Improvements warehouses, and trucks to
the Ridgewood road site, across the county road 75 Highway where we are currently
completing a large building. Scherer trucking leases a site, for their tractor trailers, near that
building in which the lease would then not be offered to them next year in exchange for the
approved MHI trailer site, but for the present time we need approval for this site Lots 7-8.
of the whispering pines addition in St. Joseph \vhich is a commercial site. The trailers y
currently see there have been a part of the business for years past. V\T e usually purchase
trailers for the business then resell them after about 5 years because of the wear on them,
then we buy new trailers to replace the aging units. vVe now have an opportunity to sell new
trailers right from the manufacturer so we'd like to take advantage of this situation. We'll
promise to keep the site very clean just as we have in the past with the Minnesota Home
Improvements Company as well as LeafGuard Gutters. My questions are though with no
application for a new building for the business, because we would use a portion of the
Minnesota Home Improvements building, just permission to use our land and lot sites for the
service, would \ve need to fill out the application as thoroughly as stated? Again all we need
is permission after zoning requirements are met, to proceed \vith the application for the
dealer license as we outlined? Also then what area's of the application do we need to cover
prior to the meeting and when could we get on the agenda?
Thank You,
CÀ-D-f?

MEMO
TO: Judy Weyrens
FROM: Laurel Pugh
DATE: March 31, 2004
RE: Grandfather Clauses in St. Joe Ordinances
FILE: City of St. Joseph - 23426
ISSUES
(1) If property under grandfather clause is sold as a rental property to another owner, may the
City require four rental licenses instead of two?
(2) May the City limit the total number ofumelated occupants to three instead of the .
grandfathered five occupants?
(3) Is there a grandfather clause that applies to the number of parking spaces available?
SHORT ANSWERS
(1) Yes, the City may require four rental licenses instead of two.
(2) Probably not. Whether the City may limit the total number of occupants depends on whether
there has ever been a lapse or revocation of the rental license.
(3) No, there is not a grandfather clause that applies to the number of parking spaces available,
and thus, the City may require licensors to comply with the parking space requirements for
each dwelling.
DISCUSSION
(1) Licensing
St. Joseph Ordinance § 55.11 governs licensing of rental units. It provides that rental
property occupied on or before February 1, 1981, must file a registration before that date. In the
case of rental property ready for occupancy after February 1, 1981, the owner must file a -
registration statement and rental license before renting the building.
-
.
At first glance, it seems that because the property in question was "occupied" before
February 1, 1981, the grandfather clause would apply. However, the Ordinance continues to
state that the registration form must contain the following information: name, address and phone
number of the owner; name and address of the rental property and the number of units; name and
address of owner's agent where violation notices may be sent; and other information that the
Council may require.
Because the registration requires the above-mentioned information, it only makes sense
that new owners must register and license their properties. Otherwise, tenants would be unable
to identify the owner or its agent for purposes of making complaints or notifYing the agent about
violations ofthe Ordinance. Also, the Ordinance does not contain a transferability clause. Based
on these reasons, the City may require a new rental license and registration for any newly owned
rental property.
(2) Limitation of Occupants
St. Joseph Ordinance § 52.04, Subdivision 31 defines "family" as, "any number of
persons living together in a room comprised ofa single housekeeping unit and related by blood,
marriage, adoptio~ or any unrelated person who resides therein as though a member of the
family. Any group of three or more persons not so related but inhabiting a single house,
. shall...be considered one family."
This ordinance contains a grandfather clause. That clause provides that any rental unit
licensed after October 15, 1990, shall maintain the definition of "fanilly" as five unrelated
persons, not three. This provision is transferable, which means it will apply to any subsequent
owners and occupiers. However, the current definition offanilly will apply to rental units
licensed after October 15, 1990 if the property has ever had a lapse or revocation of the rental
license.
Because the provision is transferable and the property was licensed before October 15,
1990, the five-occupant limit will apply. However, the City should research whether there was
ever a lapse or revocation in the rental license. Only if there has been, will the City'will be able
to limit the occupancy of unrelated to persons to three.
The City may have another option to limit occupants. S1. Joseph Ordinance § 55.09
provides limitations on the maximum number of persons living in a single dwelling unit. It
states:
Every dwelling unit shall have at least one room which shall have not
less than 150 square feet of floor area. Other habitable rooms, except
kitchen, shall have an area of not less than 70 square feet. Where more
than two persons occupy a room for sleeping purposes, the required floor
area shall be increased at the rate of 80 square feet for each occupant in
excess of two.
2
.
There is an exception to the Ordinance for the use of an efficiency living unit within an
apartment complex. I do not believe it would apply here, but I advise you to look at it and let me
know if you believe it would apply. I advise the City to calculate the living space in the
property at hand. If more than two persons are required to share a room, then the owner will
either have to remodel the dwelling to allow for the additional space, or limit the occupants to
two persons per "room for sleeping purposes."
(3) Parking
St. Joseph Ordinance § 52.10, Subdivision 4(b) provides that multi-family dwellings
require 1 Y2 parking spaces for each single bedroom dwelling, 2 Y2 spaces for each two-bedroom
dwelling, 4 spaces for each three-bedroom dwelling, and an additional! Y4 spaces for each
additional bedroom thereafter.
There is no grandfather clause relating to this Subdivision. Although there is a
grandfather clause under Subdivision 5, it only applies to construction of parking lots and not the
number of parking spaces required for certain dwellings. Therefore, the City may require new
licensors to comply with the parking space requirements of Subdivision 4(a).

initiated by the Planning Commission, the report shall, in any event, be filed not
later than sixty (60) days from the date of reference of the amendment to the
Commission. Failure of the Planning Commission so to report on an amendment
not initiated by it is deemed to be approval by the Commission of the

~ My name is Janel Weisen, I am a realtor at WHY USA EQUITY REALTY, in St. Joseph, MN.
- This letter is a request to the Planning Commission. I ask that you would once again consider re-
zoning the six to general business that are located north ofthe all on Birch St in St. Joseph.
I currently have a Purchase Agreement for the home located at 38 Birch St. St. Joseph. The offer
is from Superstar Sports, a business that is currently in the St. Joseph business center.
Superstar Sports would like to purchase this home for office space. They currently are open
Monday-Friday from 7:30-5:00, because they are not a retail outlet, there would not be a lot of
traffic due to them moving in to this property.
Please take note of the attached signatures, from 50% of the home owners that this re-zone would
affect.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Foxmore Hollow - revised site plan
PREVIOUS ACTION
The Planning Commission considered the development at the March 24, 2004 special planning
Commission meeting. The developer was requested to revise the R3 plan to reduce the size of the
building. He was asked to meet with the neighbors and submit a compromise. Since that time, the
developers have presented the City with a revised concept, 2 - 12 plexes.
. RECOMMENDED PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
COMMENTS/RECOMMENDATIONS
This discussion for this the Planning Commission is not to approve the Special Use Permit, rather to give
the developer's direction as to whether or not the new plan is worth investing money in detailing. Since
the timing of the meeting was so close to the Planning Commission meeting, the City Office staff mailed
a notice to all the residents in the area and provided a sketch plan of the new proposal. A copy has been
included for your consideration.
