The home was built prior to Stearns County adopting the setback Ordinance. The home is not exactly straight and the side of the home they are looking to add to encroaches the front yard setback by three feet. The addition will not create a further encroachment. The adoption of the Ordinance created the non-conformity. If the property was governed by the St. Joseph Code of Ordinances, the addition would have been allowed through the non-conforming ordinance without a variance. The Ordinance allows for residential alternations of up to 20% which is less than the proposed addition.

Said Ordinance requires a building setback of at least 120 feet from a Minor Collector Road Background: The applicants own a 20,OOOsqft lot with a residential structure and attached garage that was constructed prior to zoning regulations for road setbacks were enacted. None of the original structure meets the setback requirements. An addition to the backside of the garage (SE corner) was permitted in 2005 as meeting the road centerline setback. The applicants are requesting to construct a 12ft x 23ft addition located approximately 9.5ft north of the previously permitted garage addition on the backside of the house. The NW corner of the house is 4ft closer to the road than the SW corner so the proposed addition will be located 117ft from the centerline at its closest point. The existing deck will be removed and added to the east end of the proposed addition and will meet all setback requirements. • The property is zoned Urban Expansion and is located in the City of St. Cloud Drinking Water Supply Management Area. • The addition will not result in an increase of potential bedrooms so will not have an impact on the septic system. As proposed it will meet all septic system setback requirements. • Impervious lot coverage upon implementation of the proposed project will be approximately 19%. • It is not possible to locate an addition on to the backside of the house without a variance. Staff Analysis: A variance may be granted only when it is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the official control and consistent with the comprehensive plan and where the strict enforcement of county zoning controls will result in practical difficulty. 1. The proposed use is allowed in the zoning districts in which the subject property is located? The Board shall consider those uses that are considered permitted, provisional, accessory or conditional in the district (state the type of use and district for the record). 2. The variance will be in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the official control(s) (any related Ordinances)? Consider the purposes and intent of the official controls as follows (Appendix A): 3. The variance will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan? The Board shall consider the Goals and Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan to determine if the � '�. � w request is consistent (Appendix B). (Please state specifically which goals or objectives are met or not met for the record.) The variance may be granted if there are Practical Difficulties in complying with the official control(s) as determined by items 4 through 7 below: 4. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner? The Board shall consider what reasonable use of the property is lost (practical difficulties) by the strict enforcement of the official control. (Please state why it is reasonable for the record.) 5. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property, not created by the landowner? The Board shall consider what circumstances are unique to the property. (Lot size, lot configuration, wetland, steep slope, Shore Impact Zone, bluff, floodplain, floodway, etc., one or more should be stated on the record; what differentiates this parcel from others, not a feature that affects all parcels similarly.) 6. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality? The Board shall consider and state for the record why the request does or does not maintain the character of the area. (Is this request similar to what others have, what are the near shore conditions of neighbors, similar sized or number of structures adjacent or in the area.) 7. The need for the variance involves more than economic considerations? The Board should consider if economics played a role in the request. The Board of Adjustment may impose conditions in the granting of variances. A condition must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance. (Mitigating impervious surface with stormwater management, deep rooted vegetative buffers, raingardens, etc.) It is the Board of Adjustment's job to apply appropriate legal standards to a specific fact situation. Variances are meant to be an infrequent remedy where an Ordinance imposes a unique and substantial burden. The Board considers each of the elements in the findings of fact. If any one element is voted "NO" in the majority, then the criteria for granting a variance has not been met per Minnesota Statutes, Section 394.27, and the variance, as requested, cannot be granted. Alternatives/Recommended Conditions: 1. Grant or deny the variance request based on the Findings of Fact.

JOSEPH JOINT PLANNING BOARD COUNTY OF STEARNS VARIANCE PROCEEDINGS In the matter of: Derek Schaefer The Joint Planning Board considered a request for Variance by Derek Schaefer, property owner, to allow for the construction of a 12ft by 23ft addition onto an existing residential structure to be located 117 feet from the centerline of County Road 2, classified as a Minor Collector Road. Stearns County Ordinance # 439 requires a building setback of at least 120 feet from a Minor Collector Road. The property for which variance is sought is legally described as Lot 002 Block 001 Rothfork Addition, Section 3, Township 124N Range 29W St. Joseph Township. The request for variance has been submitted by Derek Schaefer, 31126 County Road 2, St. Joseph MN 56374. The matter was duly published and notice was provided to property owners within 1250 feet (.25 mile) of the above referenced property and the Joint Planning Board conducted a public hearing on July 25, 2017. The St. Joseph Joint Planning Board hereby adopts the following Findings of Fact supporting the approval of the proposed variance: 1. The Subject Property is currently zoned Urban Expansion District and within the Orderly Annexation Area of the City of St. Joseph. 2. The purpose of the Urban Expansion District is to enable the orderly and efficient staging of urban services, including wastewater, water, electric, gas, roads and communications. This district is further intended to limit barriers to efficient growth of cities. 3. The Town of St. Joseph and City of St. Joseph have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) dated March 24, 2015. 4. The applicant owns a 20,000 square foot lot with a residential structure and attached garage that was constructed prior to zoning regulations and the entire original structure does not meet the required setback. 5. In 2005 the property owner constructed an addition to the SE corner of the garage, meeting the required setbacks. 6. The applicant is requesting to construct a 12ft by 23ft deck located approximately 9.5ft north of the previously permitted garage addition on the backside of the house. The NW corner of the house is 4ft closer to the road than the SW corner of the house; therefore the proposed addition will be 117ft from the centerline at its closest point. 7. The existing deck will be removed and added to the east end of the proposed addition and will meet all setback requirements. 8. Stearns County Environmental Services, acting as the Zoning Administrator has provided the following: a. The property is zoned Urban Expansion and is located in the City of St. Cloud Drinking Water Supply Management Area. b. The addition will not result in an increase of potential bedrooms; therefore the septic system will not be impacted. The proposed construction is in compliance with the septic system setback requirements. c. Impervious lot upon implementation of the proposed project will be approximately 19%, meeting Ordinance requirements. d. It is not possible to locate an addition on to the backside of the house without a variance. 9. In reviewing the St. Joseph Code of Ordinances 520.08 Subd. 6 non-conforming uses, the following is applicable: Subd. 6: Residential Alterations. Alterations may be made to a residential building containing non-conforming residential units when they will improve the livability and safety of such units provided, however, that they do not increase the number of dwelling units in the building. Additions may be made to non-conforming residential buildings, limited to an increase in the living area of no more than 20% of the existing main floor square footage. The proposed addition is less than 20% of the main accessory building. 10. Granting of a variance is controlled by MN Statute 394.27 Subd. 7 and requires the applicant to meet ALL the following criteria: a. The proposed use is allowed in the Zoning district in which the subject property is located. b. The proposed use is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the official controls. c. The variance must be consistent with the comprehensive plan. d. The variance may be granted IF there are practical difficulties in complying with the official control. i. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner. ii. The plight of the landowner is due to the circumstances unique to the property and not created by the landowner. iii. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. iv. The need for variance involves more than economic DECISION AND CONCLUSION Based on the Finding of Fact, the St. Joseph Joint Planning Board hereby approves the Variance requested by Derek Schaefer to allow the construction of a 12ft by 23ft addition onto the existing structure located at 31126 County Road 2. Approval is based on the following: In reviewing the variance in relation to MN Statute 394.27 Subd 7 the Board finds: a. The proposed addition is consistent to what is allowed in a residential zoning district or in this matter the Urban Expansion area. b. The proposed use in in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the official controls. c. The variance request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as the subject property is located in a residential area meeting the future plans. d. Practical difficulties exist in applying the strict standards of the Ordinance which include: i. The property owner is proposing to continue using the property as a residential property which is a reasonable use. ii. The Zoning Ordinance was adopted after the main structure was constructed to which the property owner could not control. iii. The variance will not alter the characteristic of the neighborhood as the location of the structure will not be altered and it is located in the same sightline as the other homes. Further, the addition will be located in the rear of the structure. iv. The variance request is not related to economic factors as the only way in which the property could fall into compliance is to physically move the entire house back three feet which is not practical. The variance is approved with the following contingencies: 1. The property owners secure all necessary permits before commencing construction. Adopted this 25th day of July , 2017 ST.
