Public Hearing – Consideration of Approval of a Specia Event Permit – La Playette Bar: City Clerk Kayla Klein informed the council a special event permit was received from La Playette Bar for La Jam. The event will be held August 25th, 2023. Applicant has requested to close a portion of the alley north of the property and have music play until 11:30PM. City ordinance requires a public hearing for an event having music past 9:30PM and closure of an alley. The public works department and police department have reviewed the application. Police Chief, Pfannenstein is recommending one off duty officer and the music to end by 11:00PM, which is consistent with last year’s La Jam event. Schultz opened the public hearing at 6:02PM. Kay Lemke, 33 Ash St E: Lemke believes 11:30PM is too late to have music playing. She shared the music is very loud and asked it if would be possible for the stage to face the other direction. Many of her neighbors feel the same; she is representing them as well. As no one else wished to speak, Schultz closed the public hearing at 6:03PM. The Council and staff discussed the time at which the music should end. April 17th , 2023 Page 2 of 5 Shawn Reisner, La Playette: Reisner shared the band hired for La Jam last year played a three hour straight set. The band prefers to begin at sundown, which would mean the band would play 8:15PM – 11:15PM. Mr. Reisner shared if it is a problem for the community, he would be willing to end the music at 11PM. Kluesner motioned to approve the special event permit submitted by the La Playette for an event to be held on August 25, 2023, music allowed from 8:15PM – 11:00PM; seconded by Scepaniak and passed unanimously. Public Hearing – Sal’s Bar & Grill Special Event Request: KIein informed the Council that Staff has received a special event permit from Sal’s Bar & Grill. The event will be held June 24th, 2023. The request includes having music play until 10:30PM and a portion of the alley to the west of the property be closed for the event. City ordinance requires a public hearing for an event having music past 9:30PM and closure of an alley. Public Works and the Police Department have reviewed the application and have no recommendations. Schultz opened the public hearing at 6:07PM. As no one wished to speak, Schultz closed the public hearing at 6:07PM. Scepaniak moved to approve the special event permit submitted by Sal’s Bar & Grill for an event to be held on June 24th, 2023; seconded by Kluesner and passed unanimously. Councilmember Kluesner wanted to share Dale Schneider, owner of Sal’s Bar & Grill passed away on Friday, April 14th, 2023. Kluesner shared Sal’s is one of the cornerstones of our hospitality in St. Joseph and recognized that the Schneider family has done a lot to support the St. Joseph community over the years. Public Hearing – Improvement Hearing for the 2023 Street Improvements/2024 Elm Street East Improvements: City Engineers Randy Sabart and Bryce Johnson provided an overview of the proposed 2023 Street Improvements/2024 Elm Street East Improvements. Local improvements are regulated through the 429 process and include a public hearing based on the nature of the proposed improvements and a second public hearing for the assessment amounts. Johnson presented the locations of the project, existing road conditions, proposed improvements to each area, the estimated cost of the project, how assessments are calculated, and a schedule for the proposed improvements. Schultz opened the public hearing at 6:37PM. Frank Ostendorf, 615 7th Ave NE: Ostendorf asked if the curb was going to be replaced near his home as there are white lines painted. Sabart responded his colleagues have flagged areas where the curb is cracked or heaved and is slated to be repaired in those areas only. Ostendorf asked what is going to be done differently to prevent the sewer line from pushing up and ruining the driveway along 13th Ave NE. Sabart replied there will be an additional sand section to bed the storm sewer and a second drain tile on the outside of the line to intercept water before it gets to the street. Ostendorf stated the roughest part of Northway Drive is from Fir down to CR 75 and there is no sidewalk. He asked why those two items have been neglected. Sabart replied those items have been on the City’s capital improvement plan for several years; the City is anticipating the project in two years. State aid funding is available for funding on that street; however, it takes time to accumulate the funds needed for the improvements. Mari Lindgren, 606 Fir Street E: Lindgren asked if she is going to be assessed again in two years when the City does the sidewalk improvements in the Northland area. Sabart informed Lindgren the City has not levied assessments for the past two sidewalk improvements in that area. Danielle Olson, 617 Gumtree E: Olson shared she is looking forward to the Elm Street Extension but is curious as to how the traffic will be controlled at the Elms Street Extension and CR 133. Sabart replied the City has not seen the County’s plan but is anticipating a round-a-bout will be developed at that intersection; however; the County will make the final decision. Bill Arndt, Managing Partner for Northland Plaza: Arndt is referring to the Elm Street Extension Project and stated that is hard to make comments regarding the improvements when he is unsure about how the purchasing of property is going to be handled. He also shared concern about the cost of the project due to having a large curvature in the road to service a business on that road. Sabart recalled a meeting with Mr. April 17th , 2023 Page 3 of 5 Arndtt and other property owners who will be affected by the improvements. If the project moves forward the City will reach out to property owners regarding purchasing right of way and the design of the improvements. Kevin Dierkhising, 701 Elm Street E, Co-owner of Imperial Properties and Knight Builders: Mr. Dierkhising shared his concern about how many properties are going to be affected by the Elm Street Improvement when the road could have been straight instead of having the curvature that is being proposed. He shared there has been little initiation on the City’s side as far as preliminary markings on the road or explaining the improvements. He would like to see how the money he may be assessed will be allocated to the project. Mr. Dierkhising doesn’t think it seems right that twenty years ago he built a bituminous road back in that area, turned it over to the City and now the City is going to assess him to take thirty feet of his property. Ryan Parsons, Elm Street: Parsons asked how irregular interior lots are assessed. Sabart shared Mr. Parsons parcel to the NE of Storage Link is considered partially abutting and partially non-abutting. For his parcel, the City looked at limiting the width of the assessable footage so it would be similar to the neighboring parcel. Sabart mentioned they use the assessment benefit analysis in terms of what the maximum benefit a parcel of his size can sustain. Arndt shared that he was told during the meeting with the City Engineer and Staff regarding the Elm Street Improvements that he would not be charged for platting or legal expenses, it doesn’t make sense for the City to buy land from Mr. Arndt and then turn around and give it right back to the City. Mr. Arndt shared the road will not provide a benefit to him, Equine Center or to Imperial. He feels the road is unnecessary and doesn’t feel as though he should pay for it. Sabart informed Mr. Arndt that the proposal is to assess his property at an overlay level from a pavement maintenance perspective and not for road construction costs. Mr. Arndt feels other than the corner of Northland, pavement improvements are not necessary. Sabart explained if the City was not proposing to connect the two streets his property would still benefit from access whether it be from the east or west and maintaining the road is a benefit for a commercial business. Mari Lindgren, 606 Fir Street E: Lindgren shared her concern about future traffic jams at the stoplight located at Northland Drive and CR 75 after the Elm Street Extension is complete. She asked if the City owns a right of way between Minnesota Association of Farm Mutual and her property. Lindgren offered that would alleviate the new Elm Street Extension affecting so many businesses. Sabart shared he is not aware of any 66-foot-wide rite of ways owned by the City in that area. Kay Lemke, 33 Ash St E: Lemke asked why a 36’-38’ overlay on Ash Street East & 2nd Avenue NE is assessed at $39.48 while a 42’ overlay on Elm Street is assessed for $27.18. Sabart explained the assessment is calculated on a neighborhood basis. Increased property owners to distribute the cost may lower the assessment rate. Schultz closed the public hearing at 7:07PM. Loso made a motion to approve Resolution 2023-019 Ordering Improvements and Preparation of Plans for 2023 Street Improvements; seconded by Kluesner and passed unanimously. Beniek made a motion to approve Resolution 2023-020 Ordering Improvements and Preparation of Plans for 2024 Elm Street East Improvements; seconded by Scepaniak and passed unanimously. Schultz made a motion to approve engagement letter between the City of St. Joseph and Nagell Appraisal Inc. to conduct the benefit analysis report; seconded by Beniek and passed unanimously. YMCA Lease Agreement and Developers Agreement: Bartlett shared the City Council adopted a Memorandum of understanding in September of 2021 which laid out responsibility of cost for the Community Center between the City and the YMCA. Since that time the City has hired an architect, construction manager and capital campaign fundraising consultant with the assistance of the YMCA to help move forward with the project. The following funding is established or planned for the community center. State Bonding $4000,000 Local Sales Tax $6,000,000 Fundraising $14,000,000 Est. Total Cost $24,000,000 April 17th , 2023 Page 4 of 5 For the project to move forward, including the capital campaign, the operations lease needs to be in place. Operational costs to the City are estimated at $143,000 annually and $840,000 annually for the YMCA. The City offered to cover the refuse/recycling costs under the City’s refuse contract and the capital campaign will fundraise for furniture/fixtures and equipment (FEE) Attorneys from the City and the YMCA have drafted the operations lease agreement and developer’s agreement with direction from the City and YMCA. A few key points in the agreement include: 1. Full build pre-design included approximately a 45,000 square foot facility with- • Family pool • Kids’ pay zone • Fitness center • Gymnasium • Indoor walking track • Sport courts • Locker rooms • Youth program studio • Wellness center • Social Space 2. City to cover the following operational costs – • Water • Wastewater • Stormwater • Refuse/recycling • Street light utilities • Mowing/weeding/watering landscape • Sprinkler system maintenance/repair and replacement • Parking lot exterior lighting maintenance/repair, improvements, replacement • Building roof and structural portions, including exterior signage maintenance and repairs • Major building system and interior repairs – share in costs with YMCA • Capital improvement plan funding – share in costs with YMCA • Building liability insurance coverage 3. The City will have a space dedicated for public events and activities that do not compete or interfere with the YMCA’s recreational and other programs or otherwise conflict or interfere with the YMCA’s use operation of the facility. Bothe parties shall in good faith cooperate in the scheduling of these events and activities at no charge to the City. 4. The City shall have the right to solicit and accept private donations to support the facility and City operational costs. Council and staff discussed language on page 18 section 4.6 of the Developer’s Agreement, the City’s operational costs, and scenarios which may cause the lease agreement to be null/void. Kluesner motioned to approve the operating lease and developer’s agreements with the YMCA for the St. Joseph Community Center/YMCA; seconded by Scepaniak and passed unanimously. Engineer Reports: Sabart referenced a question Council had at the April 3rd Council regarding drainage on the NE quadrant at 17th and Baker Street. Sabart believes the drainage can be improved and will work with the contractor to re-shape the bituminous in that area. Department Reports: The department heads presented their monthly reports to the Council. Mayor and Council Reports and Miscellaneous Business: Schultz shared there will be a meeting of downtown businesses on May 16th at 6:00PM for anyone would like to attend. The meeting will be held at Bad Habit Brewing. Schultz shared he is meeting Senator Eric Putnam at the State Capitol on Thursday, April 20th. A committee was formed, and it looks like there will be no local options sales tax for any City this year. Schulz met with the new City Administrator, David Murphy last week to go over an upcoming work session meeting that will take place on April 25th.

REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND Conditional Use Permit – Outdoor Storage Goodin company (applicant) has submitted a request for a conditional use permit to allow for outdoor storage on lot 1, block 1, of Northland Business Center Third Addition – see below: Property is zoned I-1 Light Industrial and outdoor storage is a permitted accessory use via a conditional use permit. Goodin is currently going through Site Plan review and if approval of C.U.P. is granted it will be contingent on Site Plan and Building Permit approvals. The proposed size of the storage yard area is approximetly 3 acres. Applicant is proposing to enclose the storage yard with a 8’ slotted chain link fence with shrubs and trees planted around the perimeter. The storage area will be used to store PVC piping, trailers, and related equipment accessory to the principle use. Code requires the Storage area to be fully screened as required in 502.12 Subdivision 5. Section O which states “a fence or wall may be used for screening when plant materials are provided along the outside of the fence or wall for aesthetic appeal. Such screens shall provide a minium year-round opaqueness of eighty percent and industrial districts are allowed up to eight feet in height for fence/wall.” East of the Storage area is the future 24th Ave NE roadway/right of way and to the NE of the site is the intersection of Jasmine Way and 24th Ave NE. The fencing and storage area will fall a considerable distance short of this intersection. As part of the C.U.P. conditions staff is recommending that any plants that die after planting shall be replaced within the same or next growing season and any future expansion/increase to the storage area shall require a amendment to the C.U.P. Staff have prepared Resolution 2023-021 approving a Finding of Fact. City Code 502.07 requires the Council to adopt a Findings of Fact. The Findings are defined within 502.07 Subd. 1 Section C. The attached resolution specifies the findings required. Storage Yard surfacing request Part of the proposed request also includes surfacing the storage yard with Dust Free Bituminous Millings (recycled asphalt). Ordinance 502.12 Subd. B states: 4. The storage area is covered to control dust and storm water drainage with bituminous surfacing, concrete or a comparable substitute approved by the City. Therefore, the Council shall make a recommendation on the proposed surfacing substitute. The C.U.P. Resolution specifies the proposed surfacing substitute. The parking lot, circulation areas, driveways and loading dock will all be paved. Request just applies to storage area. Proof of Parking Plan City Code requires a minimum of 230 parking spaces (1 stall per 1,000 S.F. for Warehouse and 1 stall per 300 S.F. of Office). Applicant is proposing 76 parking stalls. City Code 502.10 Subd. 4 Section Z allows City Council to approve a “Proof-of-parking” plan. This plan allows for a portion of the minimum parking to be constructed provided the plan demonstrates that the total minimum number of parking spots can be met along with all applicable ordinances. The applicant has submitted a Site Plan which shows the proposed parking (76 spaces) and future proof- of-parking areas where all minimum spaces (230) can be met. Action is need by Council on the “Proof-of-parking” plan. BUDGET IMPACT None STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends approval of all three items (C.U.P., Storage Surfacing Material, Proof of Parking Plan) SUPPORTING DATA/ATTACHMENTS 1.

JOSEPH Rick Schultz, Mayor ATTEST David Murphy, City Administrator Document drafted by the City of St. Joseph STAFF MEMO Prepared by: Community Development Meeting Date: May 1st, 2023 ☐ Consent Agenda Item ☒ Regular Agenda Item Agenda Item # 6 Reviewed by: Item: Zoning Amendment – Allowing a Wedding/Event Facility in the Rural Residential District as a Conditional Use ACTION REQUESTED There are two drafted ordinances; one submitted by applicant requesting the amendment and one drafted by staff. Council is first requested to do one of the following motions: • Approve ordinance 2023-004 (applicant draft) or • Approve ordinance 2023-004 (staff draft) or • motion to not adopt drafted ordinance (to deny) or • motion to table action on the Zoning amendment or • The Council also has the option to only adopt specific line items within the staff draft or add line items to the applicant draft. For example, motion could be made to adopt ordinance 2023-004 Chapter 502.27 Section M line items: B, D, E, F and G from the staff draft. Finally, if the ordinance amendment is approved then Council will need to: • take action on the subsequent Summary Publication. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Planning Commission voted 5-2 to deny the proposed Zoning amendment at their April 10th, 2023 meeting. Overall Planning Commission found the proposed amendment and use not compatible with the intent of the Rural Residential district. Planning Commission also held a public hearing. Three people spoke with two expressing concerns. After the meeting staff received two letters from the applicant and supplied by businesses who expressed support for the application and amendment. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION Council denied the Zoning amendment 3-2 in May of 2022. City Code allows applicants to come back to Council after one year from date of last action. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND An ordinance amendment application to allow a Wedding/Event Venue as a Conditional Use in the Rural Residential district has been submitted by applicants Ken Bellicot and Kristyn Farrell. The current city code does not allow the use within the Rural Residential district. The applicants request includes no other language be added within the proposed ordinance amendment other than inserting the use under the allowable Conditional uses. Staff is recommending that if the ordinance amendment is supported additional stipulations and conditions should be added within the ordinance. The stipulations are meant to severely limit and restrict the use within the Rural Residential district. Without the additional stipulations the use could be conducted anywhere within the Rural Residential district through the C.U.P. process. This is concerning giving the intent of the Rural Residential district and the vast amount of land in the city zoned as Rural Residential – please see Zoning map attachment. Given staff concerns a second draft ordinance is included which lists additional requirements. Most of these recommendations follow the recommendations from last year and include: • Inserting a clear definition to define the use. Uses like “event venue” can blur a grey line and the use should be as black and white as possible to ensure the expectation and application meet the definition of the use. After much research staff has developed a definition and term for the use. Use shall be defined as a “Special Event Facility” and include the language used in the staff drafted ordinance. • Having a residential component aligns the use more closely with the intent of the Rural Residential district. Last year staff recommended that a primary residential use be located on the same parcel. Language stating the facility shall be located on the same parcel as the owner’s residence provides some alignment with the intent of the Zoning district as “Rural Residential”. This requirement can also ensure the use and character remains as residential first with the Special event being more accessory in nature. If a residential use is not required the character of the “Rural Residential” area may be impacted. Standalone event facilities may be better located in commercial districts. Staff is more open however to eliminating this requirement given other safeguards and stipulations are added which severely restrict the use to only a few possible areas in the Rural Residential district while protecting the intent/character of the Zoning district. This is not a critical must have if other drafted conditions are adopted. • The use shall be located off a minor arterial street. Use should only be allowed along a minor arterial functional classification of street to ensure traffic does not become a nuisance (all parking should be contained within the site). A minor arterial street is meant to “service vehicle trips in and out of the regional area”. Considering a “Special Event facility” is meant to attract and bring vehicle trips from in and out of the region a street defined as a minor arterial or higher meets the demands of the use. Our existing event venues in St. Joseph are located in districts like B-2 Commercial highway where the use is located on minor arterial roadways. Attached is a map of the transportation system showing the collector and arterial streets. • Minimum acreage requirements. A use like this should have plenty of space and room away from residential homes and minimum lot size will help provide adequate separation. The Rural Residential district has areas where 5 acre lots are located within Cul-de-sac neighborhoods. The lot size along with other requirements helps prevents these areas from conducting the use. 40 acres was chosen given the large amounts of land at less than 40 acres in the Rural Residential district. However, staff is flexible on the 40-acre min. and can be open to a smaller acreage amount. • Increased setbacks. Provides additional buffering from adjacent properties lessening the potential conflict. Please note there is no “magical” number on setbacks however seventy-five feet appears to be more than adequate and consistent with other communities who allow this use. • Connection to utilities. The use shall connect to water/sewer. Requiring connection helps prevent areas of the Rural Residential district from conducting the use given the feasibility of extending utilities to service the use. Fire protection and other protections provided with utilities will also be severely enhanced with connection to services. If connection does not occur at time of permit a Memorandum of Understanding shall be executed as part of the C.U.P. defining the timelines/expectations to connect. • Minimum screening requirements and protection from noise impacts. Helps contain the use and protect adjacent properties from noise through required screening (fencing and/or vegetation), • All off-street parking requirements shall be met. This helps prevent parking on grass and contains the parking to a defined area within the site. The defined area can then be screened per City code. This helps lessen the potential issues arising from car headlights onto adjacent properties. If the amendment just adds the as a C.U.P. with nothing else in the ordinance the city can only place “reasonable” conditions on it at the time of the C,.U.P. request. Limiting or restricting parcels to a certain lot size or off a specific type of roadway at the time of a C.U.P. would not be considered reasonable as they would be subjective unless the city has those restrictions within the ordinance itself. Staff also reached out to Stearns County Assessors last year with the question of: “how does the assessor’s office handle a use that has an event venue along with a residential use; specifically, if an old barn is converted or if a new event facility is built in a Rural Residential zoned area”. The response was: • We (Stearns County) splits the classification based on what is being used “commercially.” Most likely the barn and immediate surrounding acre would be classed as commercial and the rest would remain as residential or agricultural. No value would change unless the barn was remodeled or fixed up. In regards to requiring utilities the following goals from the city’s Comprehensive Plan support requiring utility extension: • Land Use Chapter o Goal 3: Promote Sustainable development Strategy 3.2 Support orderly growth. Provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land uses. Plan for growth areas that reflect city priorities for development staging and contiguous, planned extension of public infrastructure. o Goal 5: Promote efficient land development and management of growth Strategy 5.2 Support land use and zoning decisions, policies, ordinances and improvements that are based on Smart Growth Principles. • Community Facilities and Utilities Chapter o Goal 3 Provide potable water, sanitary waste collection, and surface water management to existing and future development in a cost-efficient and environmentally responsible manner Strategy 3.3 For expansion of public services, new developments should be located in areas adjacent to existing development within the city limits, primarily downtown and in urban and suburban areas Strategy 3.7 Carefully review and limit development in areas that require private sewer and water systems, or high levels of public water and sewer services BUDGET IMPACT None STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION If the amendment is supported by Council then staff would advocate on additional language/stipulations per the attached staff draft. These stipulations will help safeguard the character and intent of the Rural Residential district and situate the use in the more appropriate areas of the Rural Residential district.

Summary publication (staff supported draft) Proposed Language for Ordinance Amendment Section 502.27: RR – Rural Residential District Application for Zoning Amendment (Written Narrative) An amendment to the existing uses of real property zoned Rural Residential would permit another style of business to operate within the community of St. Joseph, Minnesota. We look forward to working with a City that embraces an enhanced view of the future and visualizes the benefits to the community derived from a business that we hope to locate within the city. Current ordinance wording does not allow our vision to materialize. St. Joseph offers a unique combination of history, beauty, accessibility, and resources. Allowing an Event Center to operate in an existing rural residential setting could attract even more visitors than already come here to experience the gem we know as “St. Joe.” Drawing in these guests from near and far will bring a complementary need for food, entertainment, and lodging within the city. Think of the requested amendment as permitting an Event Center similar to a public park or a recreational facility with the benefit of a protective club house location in a picturesque rural residential setting. Even with the modest ordinance change now being request, the goal is to maintain suitable boundaries for urban, rural residential, and agricultural areas and to prevent premature urban development until installation of streets, utilities, and demand supports increased urban development. The intent remains to preserve and protect areas where soil conditions, bedrock conditions, steep slopes, significant vegetation, wetlands or other unique natural features which are best suited for open space and limited development, and are necessary to maintain the character of the area or the community, and which would be irreparably harmed by denser development, and to allow for use of areas not suitable for urban development, to prevent rapid urbanization and provide economy in public expenditures, and to govern and implement the long range urban service plan of the City. In permitting this use, it would discourage incompatible land uses through effective land use control. We would recognize appropriate areas for commercial, industrial and non-farm rural residential developments as well as coordinate infrastructure expansion with development; and encourage development where the infrastructure is adequate to serve that growth as identified in the current City of St. Joseph Comprehensive Plan. The impact to zoning code would be to allow a wedding focused special event center in rural residentially zoned area per a conditional use permit.

From:Ken Bellicot To:Nate Keller Subject:FW: Jade Road!! Date:Monday, April 10, 2023 4:00:47 PM Nate, Please see the below letter of support – this is intended to be included in tonight’s meeting if one of the business owners cannot attend to present on their own. Ken From: Kelsey Schultz Sent: Friday, April 7, 2023 8:13 AM To: Kristyn Farrell; Meghann Teders; Ken Bellicot Subject: Jade Road!! Dear City of St. Joseph, We are writing to share our overwhelming support for the proposed wedding venue on Jade Road! As a newer member to the business community in St. Joseph, we have been so impressed with the interest and excitement of the community members to welcome the growth and new services to the area. We have been equally impressed by the grass roots nature of the business owners and the drive to support one another and really serve this community as a team. The addition of the wedding venue on Jade Road would serve the community and reach beyond St. Joseph to bring visitors- which brings economic stimulus. Many of the businesses in the downtown area are retail and thrive on foot traffic. We too would benefit from an influx of foot traffic for our retail sales. In addition, and more importantly for our business, we hope to partner with Ken and Kristyn to offer yoga services to the groups as an event or service they can choose to add on. Beyond their weekend traffic, a new business means new employment opportunities and growth for all. As this community continues to grow, as it will, I hope we can continue to invite in local small business owners like Kristyn and Ken that are going to pour their heart into serving the people and grow the community in a way that supports that small town vibe this place has cultivated.

Because of this, staff is requesting to move the June 19th council meeting to June 27th. Additionally, the first meeting in July is on July 3rd. With the 4th of July being the following day and with the celebration of Joetown Rocks, staff is proposing to cancel the July 3rd City Council meeting.
