Planning Commission Members Present: Commissioners Mike Osterman, Carmie Mick, Keith Louwagie, Bob Loso, Chair Gina Dullinger, Adam Scepaniak, Anne Jarrell Staff Present: Nate Keller, Community Development Director Others in attendance: Rick Schultz, Mayor Approval of the Agenda: Dullinger made a motion to approve the agenda. The motion was seconded by Osterman and passed unanimously by those present. Approval of the Minutes: Loso made a motion to approve the minutes of April 11th, 2022. The motion was seconded by Jarrell and passed unanimously by those present. Old Business: a.Wedding/Special Event venues updateDiscussion occurred at Feb. 14th, March 14th meetings. Commission voted 5-2 at April meeting to denythe requested ordinance amendment pertaining to Special Event Facilities in Rural Residential areas.The City Council acted on the request at their May 2nd meeting voting 3-2 in denial of the ordinanceamendment request. The Council then discussed the topic at their May 24th workshop specificallydiscussing alternative options like the use of a Planned Unit Development (PUD). Keller explained that a PUD allows flexibility from the strict standards of a traditional zoning district. A PUD essentially is a blanket zoning district placed over an existing zoning district. PUD’s are often used to allow greater flexibility in exchange for developments that provide a public benefit. St. Joseph’s PUB ordinance has a unique clause that allows uses not permitted in an underlying zoning district to be allowed if the use is complimentary to the functionality of the development and the other uses found therein. Staff would like discussion from the Commission on the use of a PUD to allow a Special Event facility at 28617 Jade Rd. Keller explained that there is an application process and an agreement necessary. He also outlined some of the things that the City looks for in relation to the PUD and pointed out the bulleted items in the Planning Commission packet; those items are minimum requirements as suggested by Staff. The property owners of 28617 Jade Rd (Ken Bellicot and Kristyn Farrell) addressed the Commission and Keller pulled up an outline of the map and further detailed plans they have for the location. Bellicot reviewed the map with the Commission detailing parking, venue buildings and green spaces. It is their intention to keep every tree they can and they are in full agreement to a conservation easement or putting into a land trust; effectively making the land undevelopable other than a few acres on the Jade Rd side. Keller mentioned the likely requirement of a permanent easement versus conservation easement. They also indicated where the trails are and stated that some trails are already largely established. They are working with several agencies as well as the DNR on the wildflower pollinator garden and increasing wildlife habitat spaces and wetlands. They have had several discussions with Country Manor to allow their residents access to a dedicated area with natural habitat and pollinator gardens. Bellicot stated that the area could potentially see five to fifteen acres return to wetlands. Dullinger, noting that the property is zoned residential and asked if there is any proposed residential use. Bellicot replied that one of the buildings is intended for living quarters for Bellicot and Farrell. This would not be their primary residence. The Commission reviewed the drawings and pictures included, as pertains to the planed structures. 222 June 13th, 2022 Page 2 of 3 Bellicot explained that the plan is to build a French chateau type of building. The location would not be visible from the road. He believes that the nearest residences are approximately 150 yards from there. There would be a mechanical shop, living space, event space and outdoor building, somewhat like an A frame lake house or pergola. The buildings planned are purpose built and highly manicured for already leveled land. Farrell stated that the pictures and drawings they provided are not exact and are to share their vision and the concept and that they are interested in partnering with the City. Mick asked for more detail on how the property owners were partnering with the City and businesses; she inquired on their preparation for City utility connections. Bellicot stated that this process started in December, when they reached out to the City to see if their concept was even was possible and if it would be a good fit. They have had discussions with businesses in town, mentioning Bad Habit, Krewe and K-Power Yoga. Bellicot stated that they already have bids for water and sewer and there are no financial barriers to moving forward. They have bids for the road improvements. They have also spoken to the City about adding a right turn lane off Jade Rd. From financial perspective–they are ready to order materials and get the process moving. Loso inquired on the timeframe for the build. Bellicot said that was dependent on materials. The build would be done in phases. The first would be about five-months, per the contractor. The shop and residence would be operational this fall with finishing touches in the winter. The intent is also to have the outdoor pergola created in phase one to use it to hold some events. They would break ground one year from now on chateau piece, which would take an estimated ten to twelve months for that build. The Commission discussed intent, purpose and impact of the PUD, other PUD locations in the surrounding area, the impact on neighboring residences, hunting on private land and this parcel, as well as the history of development inquiries on this parcel. The Commission asked questions regarding utilities at this location, conditions that could be placed on the property as it relates to the PUD and what the next steps would be for these property owners to take to apply for the PUD. Keller reminded the Commission that the purpose for this meeting was discussion. Consensus was that it was helpful for the property owners to have brought forth further details to present to the Commission. Keller informed the Commission that the property owners and Staff need to have discussion prior to an application being submitted. New Business: Transportation Plan – Elm St discussion Staff received a request for site plan approval for parcel (off 8th Ave NE). Parcel is zoned Light Industrial and site plan is for a mini storage facility. Some City Councilors expressed concerns at their May 24th workshop regarding the conflict of the planned project and the future roadway connection through this parcel per the Transportation Plan that was adopted by the City in 2013. Staff communicated to Council that no right of way or easements had been acquired through this parcel nor through the 4 parcels which would be impacted to the West. Therefore, significant impact and acquisition would need to occur along with cooperation from all impacted properties. Staff also asked about connectivity, and the purpose/need of the connection. A minimum of 66’ of ROW would be required for roadway. The future Transportation Map and Plan is a guiding document. Commonly more study and details are needed to determine the exact route of road, trails, or sidewalks. Keller informed the Commission that the City Council would like their feedback on the potential transportation connection. Keller also shared that the City Engineer has been consulted regarding other options to connecting a roadway without going directly through the parcel in question. 333 June 13th, 2022 Page 3 of 3 The Commission discussed the current need for the connection, the impact it would have to parking, setbacks, drainage and driveway access on existing properties. It was mentioned that the existing parcels already have established and adequate accesses. Keller said the County will be putting a roundabout is planned for 2024 at Elm St and Co Rd 133. Mayor Schultz, addressed the Commission, sharing that the County also planned to change the intersection at Hwy 75, in conjunction with the roundabout, to create a double turn lane and widen the road. In his opinion, due to the future changes to the intersection at the Elm Street, the connection to Northland is important. He believes the public will not want to visit the areas on the west [Northland] side and then have to turn around to go back onto Hwy 75 again to travel to the east side of Elm Street. Commissioner Scepaniak believed that although such a connection would be convenient to the residents of the Northland neighborhood, yet he was concerned with how burdensome it would be to surrounding businesses. Keller informed the Commission that the back end of the proposed parcel has wetlands, which may present a challenge to the applicant and effectively make that portion of the parcel unusable. Bruce Stainbrook, owner of parcel: informed the Commission, that 4 ½ of the 6 ½ acre parcel is buildable. They’ve planned for approximately 50,000 square feet of self-storage. The Commission also discussed alternate plans for connections to County Rd 133, including northern connections to Northland Heights, grading issues, safety issues and desirability of roadways. The Commission understood that if the proposed Traffic Plan were to be carried out, it would render the applicants parcel unusable. The Commission discussed the age of the Transportation Plan, and the unique situation this parcel was in. Dullinger Motioned to Recommend the Proposed Development go forward without the need for the roadway through the Parcel, unless there is a way to make the connection work without significantly impacting the applicants plans. Seconded by Jarrell. Aye: Dullinger, Jarrell, Mick, Louwagie, Osterman, Scepaniak Motion Carried: 6:1 Nay: Loso Other Business: Keller informed the Commission that Trobec’s will be breaking ground this week. This substantial project was a two-year process. Adjourn: Dullinger moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:27 PM. The motion was seconded by Mick and the motion carried.

PREVIOUS PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: BACKGROUND INFORMATION: MN State Statute requires the Planning Commission to review land transactions in relationship to their conformity with the City Comprehensive Plan. The City is considering purchasing a portion of property located off of 8th Ave. NE, north of Gohman Construction, for right of way to accommodate the extension of Elm St. East to CR 133. The City has been planning the Elm St. E extension for several years which is included in the City’s Transportation Plan. Additionally, this is included in the City Comprehensive Plan as follows: Transportation Plan Goal 3: Implement the Comprehensive Transportation Plan Strategy 3.2 Implement the Transportation Plan and ensure development projects are consistent with its guidance. Additional right of way will be needed for the Elm St. E extension and staff is contacting those property owners to discuss. This particular purchase is being brought forward now since the property owners have submitted a development plan. The planned street would be located on the southern portion of property, while development would be north of the new street. Stearns County is planning to complete intersection improvements at CR 133 and Elm St. in 2024. The intent would be for the City to complete the Elm St. extension at the same time in coordination with Stearns County’s intersection project.

JOSEPH By ______________________________ Gina Dullinger, Chair ATTEST By ______________________________ Nate Keller, Community Development Director 777 Planning Commission Agenda Item 05b MEETING DATE: August 8th, 2022 AGENDA ITEM: 05b – Public Hearing Knife River Variance SUBMITTED BY: Community Development STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve variance as proposed PREVIOUS PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Original Final plat for the parcel was recommended for approval at the March 8th, 2021 meeting and subsequently approved by Council. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Knife River has submitted a proposal to extend railroad tracks through property they own identified as: 84.53547.0400. The subject property is located off 24th Ave NE and shown below: 888 Proposal: The applicant is proposing to extend their existing railroad tracks from the South (on their existing site off Ridgewood Road) to the North through the subject property. The tracks will end near the Northern end of their parcel. The subject parcel has three wetlands and the applicant is proposing to avoid all wetlands but due to the location of the wetlands and size of the track the applicant cannot meet the required 50-foot setback. City ordinance 502.19 Subd. 4 A) requires a 50-foot setback from wetlands for “buildings, driveways or areas designed for parking of vehicles or trailers.” Given the sensitivity of wetlands and the potential of a rail road negatively impacting a wetland a variance to the 50-foot setback is required. The applicant will also have a small gravel access drive area adjacent to the tracks. The gravel access area will only be used for emergency and service vehicles. Variance Criteria: A variance may be granted if enforcement of a zoning ordinance provision on a particular property would cause the landowner practical difficulties as defined by MN State Statute 462.357. A variance shall only be permitted if all of the following facts and conditions exists: 1.The variance is consistent with the adopted St. Joseph Comprehensive Plan.2.The variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of thisOrdinance. 3.The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying withthe zoning ordinance. Practical difficulties as used in connection with the granting of a variance shall mean: a.The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner notpermitted by the zoning ordinance. b.The plight of the landowner is due to the circumstances unique to theproperty not created by the landownerc.The variance, if granted will not alter the essential character of the locality. 4.Economic considerations alone shall not constitute practical difficulties under theterms of this Ordinance. 5.Practical difficulties shall include, but are not limited to, inadequate access todirect sunlight for solar energy systems. 6.Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in MNStatute 216C.06, Subd. 14 as may be amended, when in harmony with the zoning ordinance. 7.Additional Conditions: If granting a variance, the City Council may imposeconditions to ensure compliance with this Ordinance and to protect adjacentproperties.The applicant has provided responses to these criteria and those responses are shown in the variance application. Staff recommendation: Staff is recommending approval through the attached Findings of Fact. The proposed extension of railroad tracks is reasonable and the circumstances are unique to the property due to the location, size, and quantity of the wetlands. The wetlands and environmental features were not caused by the landowner and the landowner is avoiding and keep as large as a buffer as possible from all wetland areas. The granting of the variance will not alter the character of the locality as there are existing tracks to the South of the subject property. 999 BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: None ATTACHMENTS: 1.Findings of Fact Resolution (to support)2.Variance application 3.Site plan4.Public Hearing proof of publication and mailing REQUESTED PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: 1.Conduct the public hearing2.Motion to provide a recommendation on Findings of Fact resolution #PC2022-001 101010 Site Plan Received 111111 121212 ST O CORNCORN CORN CORN CORN W X X X X X X X X X X X BU I L D I N G STO S00°44'28"E 1596.29 S8 8 ° 1 7 ' 4 5 " W 7 9 3 . 5 1 N00°47'11"W 1317.38L=158 . 6 1 R=26 0 . 0 0 Δ=34° 5 7 ' 1 2 " S3 4 ° 0 9 ' 1 8 " W 5 5 7 . 9 3 L= 4 1 5 . 1 3 R= 3 8 0 0 . 0 0 Δ= 6 ° 1 5 ' 3 4 " S2 8 ° 3 1 ' 1 5 " W 1 4 9 . 5 8 L= 1 6 7 . 5 6 R= 3 9 5 0 . 0 0 Δ= 2 ° 2 5 ' 5 0 " N00°47'54"W 111.34 10 7 0 10 6 7 106 8 10 6 9 107 1 10 7 2 107 3 106 5 1070 10 7 5 106 2 106 3 1064 106 6 106 7 106 8 1069 1071 1072 1073 10 7 4 10 7 6 1065 107 0 106 3 1064 1066 106 7 106 8 106 910 7 1 1065 1063 1064 1066 1067 1068 1069 1070 1 0 7 5 1 0 8 0 108 0 1 0 8 0 10 6 6 1 0 6 7 1068 1069 107 1107 210 7 3 1 0 7 4 1 0 7 6 1 0 7 7 1 0 7 8 1 0 7 9 1081 1082 1083 10 6 5107 0 10 6 3 10 6 4 10 6 6 10 6 7 106 8 106 9 10 7 0 10 7 5 10 8 0 108 0 1080 106 9 1 0 7 1 1 0 7 2 10 7 3 10 7 4 10 7 6 1 0 7 7 1 0 7 8 10 7 8 1 0 7 8 10 7 9 1079 10 7 9 10 8 1 1 0 7 5 1 0 7 1 10 7 2 10 7 3 1 0 7 4 1 0 7 6 1 0 7 7 10 7 7 1 0 7 7 1 0 7 8 107 8 1 0 7 0 1 0 7 0 10 6 6 10 6 7 10 6 7 1 0 6 8 10 6 8 10 6 9 10 6 9 1 0 7 1 10 7 1 1 0 7 2 10 7 2 1065 1070 107 5 1064 1066106710681069 1071 107210731074 1065 106 5107 0107 0 106 3 106 41066 10 6 6 106 7 1067 106 8 1068 1069 1069 N: \ 0 0 3 7 3 9 7 . 0 0 \ D W G \ C I V I L \ 0 0 3 7 3 9 7 . 0 0 E X 0 1 .

JOSEPH By Rick Schultz, Mayor ATTEST By Therese Haffner, City Administrator 232223 EXHIBIT A 242324 Planning Commission Agenda Item 5c MEETING DATE: August 8th, 2022 AGENDA ITEM: 5c – Public Hearing Storage Link Variance SUBMITTED BY: Community Development STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve variance as proposed PREVIOUS PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Discussion occurred at the June 13th 2022 meeting regarding the future Elm St. Commission recommended to Council that the owners development plans not be denied but also recommended staff and applicants work toward a solution where the development can occur and the future Elm St road can be preserved. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Proposal: Staff has worked diligently over the past few months with the owner (Byron Bjorklund) of parcel 84.53360.0006 regarding development scenarios. The goal has been to: 1.Preserve the owner’s ability to develop the parcel as originally intended2.Preserve the Council’s directive to reserve the needed right of way for the future Elm Stconnection.Staff and the owner have come to an agreeable plan that meets both goals. The plan will however require variances to the side and front yard setbacks. The variances are presuming that the city acquires portions of the property for future right-of-way. The property is located off 8th Ave NE and shown below: 2425 Based on the plan the building structures would be located 10’ off the East side yard, less than 25' off the West side (various on this side) and 20’ off the front yard property lines. The I-1 Light Industrial District requires 30’ front and 25’ side yard setbacks. Variance Criteria: A variance may be granted if enforcement of a zoning ordinance provision on a particular property would cause the landowner practical difficulties as defined by MN State Statute 462.357. A variance shall only be permitted if all of the following facts and conditions exists: 1.The variance is consistent with the adopted St. Joseph Comprehensive Plan.2.The variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of thisOrdinance. 3.The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying withthe zoning ordinance. Practical difficulties as used in connection with the granting of a variance shall mean: a.The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner notpermitted by the zoning ordinance.b.The plight of the landowner is due to the circumstances unique to theproperty not created by the landownerc.The variance, if granted will not alter the essential character of the locality.4.Economic considerations alone shall not constitute practical difficulties under theterms of this Ordinance. 5.Practical difficulties shall include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. 6.Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in MNStatute 216C.06, Subd. 14 as may be amended, when in harmony with the zoning ordinance. 7.Additional Conditions: If granting a variance, the City Council may imposeconditions to ensure compliance with this Ordinance and to protect adjacent properties. Staff recommendation: Staff is recommending approval through the attached Findings of Fact. The proposed drawing allows the property owner to develop the parcel while still preserving future right-of-way needs for Elm St extension. The criteria for a variance have been met as the property owner has not created any of the circumstances the city has (by trying to acquire portions of the property). BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: TBD by purchase of R/W needs.

JOSEPH, MINNESOTA, that the following Findings of Fact supporting a variance to the minimum front and side yard setback requirements: 1. That Peganne K Bjorklund Rev Trust owner and hereinafter referred to as “Applicant,” properly applied for a variance. 2. That the matter was duly published and notice was provided to property owners within 350 feet of the Subject Property. 3. That the Applicant appeared before the Planning Commission on August 8th, 2022 and that the Planning Commission reviewed the variance request and recommended approval of the variance. 4. That the Subject Property is zoned I-1 Light Industrial. 3133 5. That City Ordinance 502.62 Subd. 7 a) requires a thirty (30’) foot front yard setback and twenty-five (25’) foot side yard setback for buildings. 6. That the applicant proposes to construct mini-storage buildings on the subject property which is a permitted use in the I-1 Light Industrial district. 7. That the applicants proposed plan will have multiple buildings on both the West and East side of the subject property that will encroach into the minimum twenty-five (25’) side yard setback. 8. That the applicants proposed plan will have a building in the front that will encroach into the minimum thirty (30’) foot front yard setback. 9. That the variance is consistent with the St. Joseph Comprehensive Plan. 10. That the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Ordinance. 11. That the Applicant has established that there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance due to the city’s purchase of portions of the property for a future roadway. 12. That the circumstances of the property are not caused by the landowner as portions of the property will be purchased by the city for future right-of-way thus limiting the available space for the applicant’s buildings and creating the need for variances. 13. That the applicant’s request is unique given the right-of-way acquisition of the city for portions of the property which limits the applicant’s ability to develop the property. 14. That the variance is reasonable given the property would be used in a reasonable manner. The applicant has proposed to construct a mini-storage facility which is a permitted use in the I-1 Light Industrial district. 15. That the variance will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood given the adjacent property to the North has existing buildings on their side yard closer than twenty-five feet . BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ST. JOSEPH, MINNESOTA, as follows: 1. Based on Findings of Fact, a variance to the minimum front and side yard setbacks is approved. 2. Contingent on the variance being recorded at Stearns County recorder’s office 3. Contingent on the property lines being adjusted through the city acquisition of right-of-way. 4. Contingent on issuance of site plan approval, and building permit approval for the subject property and all other applicable ordinances adhered to. 5. If within one (l) year after granting a variance, the work permitted is not started, such variance shall become null and void unless a petition for an extension has been approved by the City Council.

JOSEPH By Rick Schultz, Mayor ATTEST By Therese Haffner, City Administrator 3234 Planning Commission Agenda Item 05d MEETING DATE: August 8th, 2022 AGENDA ITEM: 05d – Downtown Parking Study SUBMITTED BY: Community Development STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends consideration PREVIOUS PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: None BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As the city continues to see tremendous growth and redevelopment specifically in the downtown area greater concern or sensitivity has been expressed in regards to the communities overall parking needs. Concerns on parking that staff have heard include: • Quantity of parking available specifically at peak times • Location of parking • Increased redevelopment in downtown which has led to increased demand for parking and potential conflicts • Two-hour parking limits and enforcement of limits • Overall parking policies, standards, and ordinances Because of this concerns staff is considering pursuit of a Comprehensive parking study for the downtown. Goals would be to: • Evaluate the current parking demands and needs. This would be accomplished through a quantitative assessment. Counts would be conducted for various times/days in order to properly assess the true availability of parking during peak and non-peak times. • Evaluate future parking demands and needs (based on growth and redevelopment potential) • Evaluate the best locations to meet future parking needs (utilization of existing lots or creation of new public parking areas) • Evaluate current policies and ordinances related to parking requirements in downtown. Study would recommend best practices or needed modifications. A parking study would also pull together a Task Force. Representatives on the Task Force would likely consist of the following: • Downtown business owners • Staff • Elected officials • Planning Commission members • Residents • Economic Development Board members To conduct the study the city would need to solicit the services of a Planning or Engineer agency that specializes in Planning Studies. Staff is asking for input from the Planning Commission on whether or not a study like this should occur in 2023.
