Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the City Council for the City of St. Joseph met in regular session
on Monday, March 4th, 2024, at 6:00PM in the St. Joseph Government Center.
Members Present: Mayor Rick Schultz, Councilmembers Kevin Kluesner, Bob Loso, Kelly Beniek
Absent: Adam Scepaniak
City Representatives Present: City Administrator David Murphy, Public Works Director Ryan Wensmann,
Community Development Director Nate Keller, City Engineer Randy Sabart, Police Chief Dwight
Pfannenstein, City Clerk Kayla Klein, Finance Director Lori Bartlett, City Attorney Sue Dege
Public Comments: None.
Approve Agenda: Loso motioned to approve the agenda; seconded by Kluesner and passed
unanimously.
Consent Agenda: Kluesner made a motion to approve the consent agenda; seconded by Schultz.
Schultz pulled item d. for discussion. The motion to approve consent agenda items a. – c. passed
unanimously.
Consent Agenda:
a. Minutes – Requested Action: Approve the minutes of February 20, 2024
b. Bills Payable – Requested Action: Approve Check Numbers 61587-61640, Payroll &
Account Payable EFT #3275-3294; Regular Pay Period 4.
c. Plow Truck Purchase – Requested Action: Approve the purchase of a plow truck from the
City of Apple Valley in the amount of $65,000.00.
d. FEMA Grant Writer and Grant Application Submittal, St. Joseph Fire Department –
Requested Action: Hire a grant write for $400.00 to apply for the FEMA 95/5 grant to
replace the fire department radios.
Schultz shared the League of MN Cities has a new program that assists cities with hiring grant writers. He
suggested checking into the resources available from the LMC. They may be more cost effective than
what has been proposed. After discussion between staff and council, consensus was to explore the
services available from the LMC if time allows. If time is of the essence in applying for the grant, the Fire
Department may pursue hiring the proposed grant writer.
Loso motioned to approve item d. with the stipulation that the Fire Department exercises due
diligence by checking to see if utilizing LMC services would be cost effective versus hiring the
grant writer that has been proposed; seconded by Schultz and passed unanimously.
Kinetic, Jason Wood: Jason Wood from Kinetic provided the council with an update of campaign and
fundraising efforts for the Community Center. Jason informed the council his intent is to hold one on one
meetings with council members within the coming week.
Municipal Dispensary: City Administrator David Murphy asked the council if they would be in favor of staff
spending time researching municipal dispensaries. Murphy shared some of the caveats:
• State law authorizes cities to operate municipal cannabis retail stores.
• Cannabis is still illegal under federal law.
• There is a working group of a few dozen cities in MN exploring the idea of a municipal
dispensary.
• The League of MN Cities has shared there are no known municipal dispensaries currently.
• The League of MN Cities Insurance Board has not authorized coverage of municipal dispensaries
due to the uncertain status of federal law.
After discussion, the council gave staff authorization to continue following the MN cities who are exploring
municipal dispensaries. Council also suggested staff work on an ordinance that would put a moratorium
on dispensaries until January 1st, 2025.

St. Joseph Township Fire Contract Amendment: City Administrator David Murphy shared that staff is
looking for feedback from the council regarding the most recent draft of the contract. St. Joseph Township
is also reviewing the most recent draft of the contract. The city attorney has reviewed and approved the
contract based on form and content. The contract calls for a buyout of the township’s interest in
equipment and property. If the city and township agree on the contract, it will be brought back at a future
meeting for council action.
Loso feels the operational costs for the city will increase and the city will need to plan accordingly. Loso,
Kluesner and Beniek all agree that the contract length of 10 years may be a bit long.
Lexipol Policy Subscription, St. Joseph Police Department: Police Chief Dwight Pfannenstein shared on
February 6th of this year the MN Post board conducted an on-site audit. One of the talking points of the
audit was that the current version of the police policy manual has references back to 2003. It was
suggested that our policy manual be updated before the next audit in 3 years. The Lexipol subscription
would keep up with changing state mandates without taking away staff time to research nor would we
have the legal expense of having to utilize the city attorney. Additionally, Sartell, Waite Park and Stearns
County subscribe to Lexipol, a subscription would provide policy consistency between departments as our
officers provide mutual aid to those departments.
Council and staff discussed funding for this year and next year. Finance Director Lori Bartlett informed the
council that there are funds available for this year; next year the subscription will be added as a new line
item.
Schultz asked who would have access to the subscription. Pfannenstein replied there will be different
user and admin levels.
Kluesner made a motion to approve the Lexipol Policy Subscription; seconded by Beniek and
passed unanimously.
Promotion of Utility Worker: Public Works Director Ryan Wensmann informed the council that since the
recent resignation of Randy Torborg, another vacancy became available in the utility department. Per the
union contract, the position was posted internally. Mike Johnson, who has been a maintenance worker
since 2003, was the only applicant for the position. Wensmann shared Johnson is fully qualified for the
position and supports the promotion of Mike Johnson. Johnson’s promotion will create a second opening
in the maintenance department. Seventeen applications were received for the maintenance worker
position, both openings will be filled using the applications that have been received.
Schultz made a motion to approve the promotion of Michael Johnson (MJ) to Utility Worker
Position Grade 6, step 7 effective March 5th, 2024; seconded by Beniek and passed unanimously.
Engineer Reports: City Engineer Randy Sabart provided the council an update on the County Road
133/Elm Street E Roundabout Improvement Project. Friday, March 1st Stearns County, and their
consultant on the project shared the almost completed drawings which Sabart went over with the council.
Sabart reminded the council the project is not slated to begin until after the CO RD 75 bridge project is
completed.
Department Reports: Community Development Director Nate Keller shared he is continuing to follow the
many zoning and land use bills being addressed during the legislative session. Housing is a priority for
the legislature this session. Keller will be creating a summary with potential impacts they may have and
share it with the council.
Wensmann asked the council for direction. He was asked by the Winterwalk Committee if they could
leave the lights on the trees until next year and only remove the extension cords. The council’s
consensus was to have the lights taken down.

Mayor and Council Reports/Updates: Tracy Morrison and Tom Emmer’s office sent out the community
funding project request. These are congressional spending dollars. We applied last year; it got promoted
but did not get funded. Schulz would like to apply again this year to request funding for the sewer main
extension. The League of MN Cities Day on the Hill is March 7th. Schultz is planning to meet with the
legislators. Schultz spoke with CSB/SJU’s, President Bruess, Ph. D about the newly installed flashing
crosswalk signage on CR 121. The student senate had funds available and worked with the County on
getting the signage installed.
Councilmember Beniek shared that she is looking forward to talking about the possibility of a CO RD 75
pedestrian bridge at an upcoming work session. She explained it is needed due to the rapidly growing
businesses in that area of the city.
Councilmember Loso asked if parking restrictions can be lifted until November 1st and suggested the
winter parking ordinances be revised.
Council and staff supported lifting the winter parking restrictions effective immediately.
Adjourn: Kluesner made a motion to adjourn at 7:16PM; seconded by Beniek and passed
unanimously.

REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
Cash/investment presented as February 29, 2024. Budget to actual reports attached for Council review.
The data is operational in nature. Some of the activity is for 2023 activity. The 2023 activity will be
reversed out after the audit is completed later this spring.
The cash and investment balance decreased $883,676 since the beginning of the year. The first six
months the city will spend down the cash and investments. There will be some activity of cash receipting,
but the largest receipts for the tax settlements will be received in June and July. The budget carryover
from 2023 will provide the working capital to cover the cash flows until taxes and state aids are received.
Investments earnings average 3.96% interest rate with an average maturity of 27 months.
The General fund spent 17% of the expenditure budget and received 4% of the revenue budget at the
end of February.
The Enterprise funds spent 7% (less depreciation) and received 16% of the revenue budget.

the past several years.
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
Annually the EDA and City must report a summary of the activity in each tax increment fund to the State

three TIF reports to be completed by Northland Securities have been prepared by them in previous years.
As a result, the fee for the 2023 reporting is $1,200 per TIF. The TIF Districts cover the administrative
expense for Northland’s service fees.

RE: Annual TIF Reporting to Office of State Auditor
Dear Lori:
The purpose of this letter is to offer you the services of Northland Public Finance to
assist you with the process of making plans for the completion and submission of the
mandated reports (pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 469.175, Subd. 6) for tax increment
financing (TIF) districts for year ending December 31, 2023.
We consider the annual reporting process to be a great time to review existing TIF
districts for potential opportunities, including pooling of funds and review of
outstanding obligations. We view and undertake the process as much more than an
accounting access and filling out a form on your behalf.
If you would like to Northland to undertake the completion and submission of the
annual TIF reporting forms, please sign the attached State Auditor SAFES document and
return to me. Reports will be made available from the Office of the State Auditor (OSA)
and will be due to the OSA by August 1, 2024.
The remainder of this letter describes the service in greater detail. This service qualifies
as administrative expense and the cost can be paid from tax increments, subject to the
authorizations in the respective TIF plans.
Service Provided
Northland will prepare and submit reports in accordance with statutory requirements.
Northland will also prepare the summary statement (as required by Minnesota Statute
469.175, Subd. 5) for the city or authority to submit to the newspaper for publication. We
will ask the city or authority to provide 2023 general ledger activity for tax increment
financing districts. We may also request documentation on TIF plan modifications,
supporting documentation on all revenues and expenditures and copies of TIF Plans
and development agreements.
Annual TIF Reporting
March 7, 2024
Page 2
The cost of service provided by Northland is as follows:
A flat fee of $1,200 per district applies to districts where the 2022 report was
prepared by Northland.
A flat fee of $1,680 per district applies to districts where the 2023 report was not
prepared by Northland.
A flat fee of $2,400 per district where fiscal year 2023 is the first year of reporting.
Authorization with Office of the State Auditor
If you determine to have Northland assist you with the filing of your reports, the city or
authority will need to authorize Northland to file its forms with the OSA, if prior
authorization is not already in place. You may do so by completing the State Auditor’s
2024 User Authorization Form (SAFES) which is attached to this letter.
Next Steps
We look forward to having the opportunity to work with you to complete the annual
TIF reporting. Please contact me directly if have questions or would like to discuss in
more detail the proposed service. If you would prefer, we could also discuss a different
service approach that better fits your needs. I can be reached at (612) 851-4964 or

the City shall establish a rural/urban taxing district pursuant to Minn. Stat. 272.67 and
shall include all Rural Residential properties (initially defined as non-commercial and
non-industrial zoned properties) annexed to the City under Section 1, paragraph 1
above, within the rural taxing district. The City shall establish a rural service district tax
rate that will initially be set at a tax rate equal to the 2018 Town tax rate, but which will
be subject to annual increases or decreases proportionate to the annual increase or
decrease in the City's overall tax rate, with the City 's 2018 tax rate as the base against
which future increases or decreases are initially measured. For example:
The 2018 Tax Rates are as follows:
City Tax Rate 61.4627
Twp Tax Rate 21.9232
For the purpose of this example, if the City's overall tax rate increases to 63.4627, this
would represent a 3.254% change (increase) in the City's overall tax rate from 2018 to
2019. The rural taxing district rate would change by the same percentage. Therefore,
3
the prior year's rural tax rate (the 2018 Township tax rate) of 21.9232 would be
multiplied by the 1.0325 (1 plus the 3.254% change in the City's overall tax rate) which
would increase the rural tax rate to 22.6366 for 2019. If the City's 2020 overall tax rate
then decreased to 62.2533, this would represent a 1.906% change (decrease) in the
City's overall tax rate from 2019 to 2020. The rural taxing district 2019 tax rate of
22.6366 would then be multiplied by .98094 (1 minus the 1.906% change in the City's
overall tax rate) which would decrease the rural tax rate to 22.2051 for 2020.
The only changes to the rural tax rate shall be those occurring as a result of the
proportional increases or decreases in the City's overall tax rate pursuant the terms of
this paragraph.
Such Rural Residential properties placed in the rural taxing district shall remain in
the rural taxing district until such time as:
i. The property is developed commercially or industrially; or
ii. Municipal sewer and/or water services are readily available to serve the
property.
Paving, repaving, or reconstruction of a street abutting a property shall not be deemed
to be a sufficient improvement to cause unplatted or platted property to be transferred
out of the rural taxing district.
6. Tax Rate Step Up. The tax rate for Commercial and Industrial properties
annexed pursuant to Section I, Paragraph 1 above shall be stepped up from the Town
tax rate to the City tax rate by equal increments over a six-year period.
7. Review and Comment. The City and the Town agree that upon receipt of this
resolution, passed and adopted by each party, the Chief Administrative Law Judge may
review and comment, but shall within thirty (30) days, order the immediate annexation of
the Immediate Annexation Property in accordance with the terms of this resolution.
8. Provision of Utilities to Annexed Properties. in the event the City provides
municipal sewer service to any Rural Residential zoned properties annexed under the
terms of this Agreement, the City shall not require any such property to connect to the
municipal sewer system for a period of seven years from the date of the most recent
septic certification provided that the system does not fail within that seven-year period.
Such properties shall be required to connect to City water services immediately in
accordance with State law.
9. Building Inspection. Upon annexation of the Orderly Annexation Property
described on Exhibit A, all new building permits shall be issued and administered by the
City. All Building permits already issued as of the effective date of this Agreement to
any such Orderly Annexation Properties shall continue to be administered by the
Township's building inspector until a certificate of occupancy is issued. The Township
shall provide building permits and site plans for annexed properties to the City.

Declare 1997 Grass Rig and Turnout Gear over 10 years old as
surplus property
ACTION REQUESTED
Declare the Fire Department 1997 grass rig as surplus and sell for current residual value to Rockville Fire
Department. If fair value is not offered, sell via MinnBid auction site. Declare turnout gear sets no longer
within NFPA standards as surplus property to either donate to non-profit training facility or dispose of.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
St. Joseph Fire Board recommended replacing the old grass rig with a new rig.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Council approved purchase of new grass rig.
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
Grass Rig #3 was purchased by the fire service communities in 1997 for $55,000. The rear end went out
of the rig in 2014 and a used rear-end was installed. The Grass Rig is expected to be functional for
approximately 20 years; therefore, the replacement is scheduled for 2017, but the rig lasted an additional
seven years with the repairs and the number of calls over time. The Fire Dept took possession of the new
grass rig this month and ready to sell the 1997 grass rig. Rockville Fire Dept stated they were interested
in the rig and would offer fair value. Statutes allow sells to other local governments. If Rockville does not
pay fair value, staff will sell the 1997 grass rig on the MinnBid auction site. The sell proceeds will be put
back in the capital improvement plan for the next grass rig replacement.
In addition to the old grass rig, the Fire Dept has many old sets of turnout gear that is no longer in use
and do not meet NFPA standards. The Fire Dept. is allowed to donate the old turnout gear to non-profit
training facilities. If any are interested, the turnout gear will be donated to them at no cost. If there is no
interest, the sets will be disposed of.

Date:Monday, March 4, 2024 3:10:55 PM
Hello Nate,
I am writing to voice my opposition to a massage therapy business in a residential setting. This
seems to be a business that would be better located in a commercial area of St. Joe. I feel the
increased traffic in the neighborhood would detract from the area residences and also be a
safety concern for an already busy traffic area.
Thank you,

Good morning Kris,
Thank you for your comments and reaching out.
Ms. Matters stated that the parking (one car at a time) would be met within her driveway or “on the
street in the front”.
We will have conditions tied to one client at a time and parking within the driveway.
I mentioned this to Ms. Matters this morning and she has no issues with those conditions.
Her proposed hours of operations are:
Mon – Sat from 10am – 6pm
If you have any other questions/concerns please let me know.
Thank you,

Subject: Comment re: Special Home Occupation
Hello, Nate -
I am unable to attend the public hearing on Sheryl Matters' request to operate a massage business
at 201 Pond View Ln. I don't have any objection to her request for her business, but I do have one
concern.
I live across Baker St from Ms Matters at 1205 E Baker. Pond View Lane ends at Baker St and my
driveway. Backing out from my driveway is difficult at times, as there is traffic approaching from
three ways. If a client parks in front of my house, it could restrict my already sometimes dangerous
access to Baker St.
I am wondering what her plan is in regards to the parking information she will give her clients. I am
assuming she'll have one client at a time, so I'm hoping that her client parking will be restricted to
her driveway, and that she will discourage them from parking on Baker St - already a fairly busy road.
Please feel free to call if you have any questions.
Thank you.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION Council approved a rezone of 13 2nd Ave NW on Nov. 20th, 2023
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
House of Hern, LLC (Owners Craig and BriAnne Hern) have submitted their formal plans to develop the
former gas station site at 13 2nd Ave NW. The proposed development requires multiple action items tied to
building placement/setback, and an off-site/street parking proposal with variances at 202 MN ST W.
Building Proposal (Agenda items 05b and 05c)
202 MN St W
13 2nd Ave NW
View of 13 2nd Ave NW looking North on Minnesota ST
House of Hern is proposing to construct a 5,880 square foot building with a detached cooler, and on-site trash
enclosure at 13 2nd Ave NW. All Environmental work (Phase 1/2, soil borings, etc.) have been completed with
no issues and no site remediation needed.
05b – Public Hearing – Variance to Rear Building Setback 13 2nd Ave NW - House of Hern
The applicants are proposing a 12’ building setback to the North rear lot line. City Ordinance 502.50 Subd. 5
requires a 20’ setback to residential districts. The property to the North is operated as a commercial use
however is zoned residential (R-3 Multi-family) therefore a 20’ setback applies. If the property to the North
was zoned commercial then a zero setback would apply.
The applicants are also proposing a detached cooler that will be installed up to the lot line. Coolers are not
considered a “building” per definitions in the City Code therefore setbacks do not apply to this structure. The
applicants are requesting approval of a zero-lot line setback however to allow maximum use of the property.
A trash enclosure is also proposed to be installed right up to the lot line (setbacks do not apply either to these
structures within the B-1 Central Business District). The applicants have provided responses to the variance
criteria in their variance application. Of particular note is how the request and development of the subject
parcel fits within the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan shows the surrounding properties to all
be future Commercial.
Stormwater rate control requirements will need to be met. This will likely include use of gutters to capture the
roof water and use of underground systems with undergrounding PVC piping.
05c – Non-conforming Structure Extension Request 13 2nd Ave NW – House of Hern
The subject property had a gas station building that was knocked down on April 20th, 2023 according to city
records. The previous structure was considered a legal non-conforming structure due to the building pre-dating
the existing setback regulations. The previous building had a 2’ setback on the West side lot line and this
setback was considered legal-nonconforming. Code requires 20’ setback now due to property to West being
zoned residential. It’s important to note that the property to the West is future Commercial according to the
Comprehensive Plan.
Legal non-conforming structures can per ordinance 502.08 Subd. 2 be replaced as long as the structure is
rebuilt within one year. The ordinance states “any non-conformity may be continued, including through
repair, replacement, restoration, maintenance, or improvement, but not including expansion, unless the
nonconformity or occupancy ceases for a period of one year”.
Essentially this allows the applicant to maintain the same setback on the West side as the previous structure.
The applicants are not proposing to expand any part of the non-conforming setback distance (e.g. build closer
then the previous 2’ West side setback). Please note an expansion is defined as any increase to the non-
conformity….in this case the non-conformity is the distance on the West side setback which was 2’ not the
amount of building that was set at the 2’ distance.
The applicants are hoping to start construction as soon as possible however meeting the deadline of April 20th,
2024 may not occur due to many reasons (weather, frost restrictions, site preparation, permit approvals, etc.)
Therefore, the applicants are requesting an extension of six months (Oct. 20th, 2024) in order to have time and
account for any unforeseen setbacks to rebuild the structure. The extension will allow the applicants to rebuild
the structure within the same footprint and setback on the West side lot line (2’) without the need for a variance
if they do not meet the Apr. 20th one-year deadline.
Parking Proposal Items (Agenda items 05d, 05e, 05f)
05d – Parking Proposal 202 MN St W
The applicants plan to develop parcel 13 2nd Ave NW with a commercial building leaves no room for on-site
parking due to the footprint of the proposed building. Ordinance 502.10 Subd. 3 Section 1 allows
developments in the B-1 Zoning district to propose alternative parking arrangements. These arrangements
also allow for parking stall lease arrangements like the applicant is proposing. The applicants are planning to
construct off-street parking for the site at 202 MN ST W which is located directly to the South (across MN
St) from their proposed building.
The parking plan provides for 38 parking spots which meets the total quantity of spots required for the
proposed building and intended uses (based on the calculation of a restaurant use). The applicants are required
to have an ADA parking spot therefore will need to provide crossing improvements (at their own expense) to
ensure a clear, unobstructed path is provided from the parking spot to the building. The crossing improvements
will be made on the West side of the existing four-way intersection at Mn ST and 2nd Ave NW. The city’s
Building Official has also reviewed the ADA parking and proposed improvements.
Access into the lot is being proposed on the Southside of the lot through the city alleyway (unimproved
alleyway).
The applicants are submitting this plan after exploring all other options for parking with first focus on adjacent
parcels to the 13 2nd Ave NW site. Unfortunately, no agreements with the adjacent parcels occurred.
Therefore, the applicants pursued the site at 202 MN ST W. The site is owned by the Sisters of St. Benedicts
and the Sisters have agreed to lease the site out to allow construction of the proposed parking lot. The Sisters
have included a formal letter stating their support for the project. The intended lease is for five years. The
five-year timeline is due to the unknown certainty facing future plans for the sisters of St. Benedict as it relates
to a potential new Monastery.
However, the Sisters have provided written and verbal acknowledgment to support the project and working
with the applicants to ensure continued usage of the parking lot after the five years (either through potential
extension of lease, selling, or other partnership).
Stormwater rate control requirements will need to be met. This will likely include use of gutters to capture the
roof water and use of underground systems with undergrounding PVC piping.
The city reserves the right to place conditions on the parking proposal. Conditions for example could include:
items addressing the use of the parking lot at it relates to the building at 13 2nd Ave NW, access to the parking
lot (entrance points, conditions of alleyway) etc. Crossing improvements to the intersection is one condition
being placed on the proposal for example.
05e – PUBLIC HEARING – Parking lot setback 202 MN ST W – House of Hern
City Ordinance 502.10 Subd. 5 Section C requires parking lots to be 15’ setback from residential uses. The
property to the West is zoned residential (but guided for future land use of Downtown Commercial). Since
the adjacent property is zoned residential the 15’ setback applies. Applicants proposed setback is 4’ off the
West lot line (as measured from the asphalt of the parking lot). The applicants are proposing to offset the
encroached parking lot by installing a 6’ vinyl privacy fence to block light pollution, noise, etc. on the West
side (also proposing shrubs on East side). Parking lots in Commercial districts can be setback up to the lot
line. The parking lot will also be paved.
05f– PUBLIC HEARING – Maximum allowed impervious surface coverage 202 MN ST W – House
of Hern
The proposed parking lot at 202 MN ST W is zoned residential therefore a maximum impervious surface
coverage of 50% applies (City Ordinance 502.30 Subd 8 Section B). Given the properties future land use is
downtown commercial and the parking lot is tied to the development and parking proposal of 13 2nd Ave NW
the applicants are intending to maximize the lot with as much parking as possible (in order to not seek any
reductions to the parking requirements).

VARIANCE APPROVAL
The City Council may allow a departure from the terms of the zoning ordinance pertaining to setbacks, height or
width of structures or the size of yard and open spaces where such departure will still be in harmony with the general
purpose and intent of the ordinance. A variance may be granted if enforcement of a zoning ordinance provision as
applied to a particular piece of property would cause the landowner “practical difficulties.” For a variance to be
granted, the applicant must satisfy a three-factor test for practical difficulties under state statute. All three factors
must be satisfied to constitute practical difficulties. The factors are as follows:
1.That the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner but cannot do so under the rules of
the ordinance.
Explain how this applies to your request:
St. Joseph Application for Variance Page | 5
2.That the landowner’s problem is due to circumstances unique to the property not caused by the landowner.
There are uniquely exceptional circumstances or conditions applying to the land, structure or building in
question that do not generally apply to other properties in the same zoning district i.e. sloping topography or
other natural features.
Explain how this applies to your request:
3.That if the variance is granted it will not alter the essential character of the locality meaning the structure will
not be out of scale, out of place, or otherwise inconsistent with the surrounding area.
Explain how this applies to your request:
NOTE: Economic considerations alone shall not constitute practical difficulties. Rather, practical
difficulties exist only when the three statutory factors are met. Additional conditions may be imposed to
ensure compliance with the City Code and to protect adjacent properties.
APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE APPROVAL

VARIANCE APPROVAL
The City Council may allow a departure from the terms of the zoning ordinance pertaining to setbacks, height or

1. That the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner but cannot do so under the rules of
the ordinance.
Explain how this applies to your request: According to Ordinance 502.10 subd. 3e, "Offstreet Parking facilities for dwelling
shall be provided and located on the same lot or parcel of land as the building they are intended to serve." While we are able to provide
more than the required parking for our customers and staff, we are requesting do so by utilizing parcel 84.53814.0000 to the immediate
south of our property to fulfill the requirements of off street parking. We have received a signed letter of support from the owners of
this parcel, allowing us to create a space fully in alignment with the remainder of the ordinance, providing safe access to our business.

2. That the landowner’s problem is due to circumstances unique to the property not caused by the landowner.
There are uniquely exceptional circumstances or conditions applying to the land, structure or building in
question that do not generally apply to other properties in the same zoning district i.e. sloping topography or
other natural features.
Explain how this applies to your request: Our proposed business will be constructed on one of the busiest inter-
sections in the City of St. Joseph. In addition to this, the lot itself is 7,397 square feet which leaves little to no space
for both a business structure AND required off street parking. While we are able to maximize the parcel with a business
structure that meets the feedback of our community, we are hoping to offer a safe off street parking solution that will
more than meet, and exceeds, City Ordinance requirements in the parcel to the immediate south of our current parcel.
3. That if the variance is granted it will not alter the essential character of the locality meaning the structure will
not be out of scale, out of place, or otherwise inconsistent with the surrounding area.
Explain how this applies to your request: If this variance is granted, our building will be able to provide ample off street
parking for our patrons in a safe, well-maintained space. The vacant lot will be constructed in accordance with requirements
of City Ordinance 502.10, as demonstrated in the attached plan. Parking in this area is in aligment with the City's Comprehensive Plan
listing the requested parcel as future B-1 zoned district. This solution will provide the required off street parking for our business
that is not currently available for the majority of businesses on west Minnesota Street, including a safe ADA option for patrons.
NOTE: Economic considerations alone shall not constitute practical difficulties. Rather, practical
difficulties exist only when the three statutory factors are met. Additional conditions may be imposed to
ensure compliance with the City Code and to protect adjacent properties.

Subject: RE: Synergy Site - Hern's parking proposal
Dear Nate,
Thanks for getting in touch.
The request for use of our land as a parking lot from BriAnne and Craig Hern came at a complex time
in our history. You are correct that we are in the planning stage of building a new monastery.
Despite that, because we support what Craig and BriAnne are trying to do, we wanted to find a way
to help them. We are aware that Craig and BriAnne would be making a significant investment in the
parking lot, as well as in the whole business venture, and most certainly would not want to put that
in jeopardy.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that the College of Saint Benedict has right of first
Some people who received this message don't often get email from nkeller@cityofstjoseph.com. Learn why this is

refusal on our land and buildings on the St. Joseph campus, and they, too, are in a phase of strategic
planning. I have discussed the situation with President Brian Bruess, who is also very supportive of
the Herns’ project. Because both our institutions are in the process of major change and we are not
yet sure of the end points, we agreed that the best solution would be for us (the monastery) to offer
a five-year lease. This has been approved by the Monastic Council. This is what we can, with no
reservation, offer at this point in time, along with the commitment to continue collaborating with
Craig and BriAnne to work on a longer-term solution as our plans firm up.

Subject: Synergy Site - Hern's parking proposal
Importance: High
Hello Sisters Karen and Jeanne,
I’m reaching out today in regards to Craig and BriAnne’s exciting planned commercial development
on 2nd Ave NW and MN St.
I’ve been working with them on the submittal items and one item came up that I have questions on.
I’ve reviewed the letter that was included regarding the intention for a five year lease on the
property The Sisters of St. Benedict own.
Questions:
What is the intent after the five year lease is up? Is there a chance the lease is terminated and
the Hern’s no longer have access to the parking lot?
Is there any reasons a longer duration lease is not being considered? I know there are intents
for a new Monastery so perhaps that is a factor? Again the concern from the city is what if the
Hern’s lose access to the lot after five years? Is this possible from the Monastery standpoint
given the Monastery owns the parcel?
Thank you very much for your help answering these.
I want to make sure we are covering all the bases prior to the public meetings.
So I’m trying to anticipate questions/concerns from the elected officials.
Best,

Hello,
Let’s plan to disregard the parking option with a street ADA spot. Do you need us to resubmit anything without that
second option?
As for the extension, we would like to formally request a six-month extension from the April 20th, 2023 date, bringing
us to a date of October 20th, 2024. This will allow us to ensure we are in alignment with frost law guidelines and have
all bids, licensures, etc. in order for launch. (Note: we are assuming this means we will BEGIN construction by this
date - is that correct?)
Thank you so much,
BriAnne

If six months is the request – Craig can you include a written request to me? Email suffices.
I also brought up the ADA parking on-street at our dept. head meeting.
I think it may be a tough ask to the Council as strong concerns were expressed.
Dedicating an off-street public parking to a private business as you can imagine may open the door to other
similar requests.
I can see the Council not supporting that ask because off-street public parking is already a very sensitive topic.
Dedicating a spot even if it’s only one to a private business is a tough ask.

Good morning Nate,
We have been targeting an April 15th start date pending approval from the city. Depending on the weather we
might be able to start earlier, but Ryan might be able to speak in more detail. Do we request a 3 month
extension just incase there are any unforeseen delays?

Good morning Craig,
The date we have for when the previous gas station was officially demolished is April 20th, 2023.
If I recall correctly you believe construction will not start by that date correct due to frost
guidelines/regulations (also assuming everything with us is approved)?
Given the ordinance allows up to one year to rebuild structure an extension would be needed therefore how
much of an extension would you be requesting?
6 months? 3 months?
Thank you and hope you and your family had a great weekend.

It wouldn’t be a commitment but instead be a statement of intent regarding the structure of the lease,

This can just be a email if easier.
If you feel the request would be better coming from the city I would be happy to reach out and provide
details on what we are asking.
I just want to make sure there is substance from the owner regarding intent and reasoning behind the

Does that make sense?

Dean,
She information required in regards to labeling and calling out setbacks on the site plan. Are you able to
accommodate these items Nate called out below.
Nate, regarding the Sisters and the 5 year lease, this aligns with their 5 year plan for building their
monastery. At that time we expect a long term extension to the lease terms or the ability to purchase the
property. They understand we will be making a substantial investment into the property to create the
parking lot and they said they will absolute work with us to keep as such for our business. They have
already discussed with the college and there are no intent to use or need that property in the future and
also the same case for the sister regarding the property (parking lot).

Craig Hern

Good morning Bri!
Thank you so much for sending these over.
Couple items we need added to the site plan -
- clearly labeled setbacks to all lot lines (East, West, South, North) for both the building site plan and
parking lot site plan
- highlight the North setback for building and West setback for parking lot (since those are the required
variances)
- label the West side setback on site plan as "to match location and footprint of previous building"
Then I have another question as I know this will likely be asked -
- if the Sisters are agreeing to a five year lease what happens after the five years? Is there a possibility
they do not renew the lease? If so what happens with the parking lot and who can or cannot use it?
Will the lot just sit there and be used for their own purposes and not for the House of Hern building?
Is there a reason they may be opposed to a longer lease? We want to ensure the lot can be used as
long as you need to access it or at such time other properties open up and become avallbile for use
(like Bip's)
I'm in and out of meetings but have time for a call too if you'd prefer.

Dear St. Joseph City Council Members and Community,
I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for the proposed food hall project in St. Joseph,
Minnesota. As a member of this vibrant community, I believe this initiative represents a
significant opportunity to enrich our local culture, stimulate economic development, and
enhance the quality of life for all residents.
St. Joseph, with its rich history and growing population, is the perfect location for a food hall
that could become a great addition to our community. This project is not just about offering a
diverse array of dining options; it's about creating a communal space where residents and
visitors can come together, share experiences, and enjoy the best of what our local culinary
talent has to offer.
Here are a few ways I believe the food hall will benefit St. Joseph:
1. **Economic Growth**: By providing a platform for local chefs, farmers, and artisans to
showcase their products, the food hall will stimulate economic growth by creating jobs,
attracting tourists, and encouraging local spending. This influx of activity will also foster
opportunities for other businesses in the area, contributing to a thriving local economy.
2. **Cultural Enrichment**: The food hall will serve as a cultural hub, offering a taste of the
diverse culinary traditions that exist within our community. It will be a place where cultural
exchange is not only welcomed but celebrated, promoting inclusivity and understanding among
residents and visitors alike.
3. **Community Engagement**: With its open and inviting atmosphere, the food hall will
become a gathering place for community events, workshops, and celebrations. It will provide a
venue for local musicians, artists, and entertainers, further enhancing community engagement
and spirit.
4. **Sustainability and Health**: By emphasizing local sourcing and offering healthy,
sustainable food options, the food hall will contribute to the wellbeing of our community and
environment. This commitment to sustainability aligns with the values of our residents and sets
a positive example for other communities.
5. **Educational Opportunities**: The food hall can also serve as an educational resource,
offering cooking classes, nutrition workshops, and opportunities for local students to learn
about the food industry, agriculture, and culinary arts. This educational aspect will empower
our community with knowledge and skills related to food and health.
In conclusion, the food hall project represents a multifaceted opportunity to enhance the
cultural, economic, and social fabric of St. Joseph. I wholeheartedly support this initiative and
encourage others to recognize its potential benefits for our community. Together, we can make
this project a beacon of community pride and a testament to the vibrant spirit of St. Joseph.
Thank you for considering my support for the food hall project. I am eager to see it come to
fruition and am committed to contributing to its success in any way I can.
Sincerely,
Mateo Mackbee

A RESOLUTION ADOPTING FINDINGS OF FACT TO APPROVE A VARIANCE
APPLICATION FOR A COMMERCIAL BUILDING SETBACK
WHEREAS, House of Hern, LLC, applicant and owner of property has properly applied for a
variance to the required building setback requirements for the subject property identified as:
13 2ND Ave NW, St. Joseph, MN 56374
Legally described as: Lot 006, Block 002 of Townsite of St. Joseph
Parcel ID 84.53814.0000
“Subject Property”
WHEREAS, the St. Joseph Planning Commission held a public hearing on the variance request on
March 11th, 2024, at which time all persons wishing to be heard regarding the matter were given an opportunity
to be heard; and
FACTS:
1. That House of Hern, hereinafter referred to as “Owner” and “Applicant” have 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 March 11th, 2024 and that
the Planning Commission reviewed the variance request and recommended approval of the
variance.
4. That the Subject Property is zoned B-1 Central Business District.
5. That City Ordinance 502.50 Subd. 5 requires a 20’ (foot) setback for buildings that are
adjacent to residential districts and the applicant is proposing a building that will be setback
12’ (foot) from the North property line with a detached cooler proposed at a zero-lot line
setback.
6. That the adjacent property to the North identified as 17 2nd Ave NW, Parcel ID
84.53838.0005 is zoned R-3 Multi-Family residential. The current use of the property
however is Commercial (legal non-conforming) and the future land use is Commercial
Downtown.
7. That since the adjacent property to the North is zoned residential the 20’ (foot) setback
applies to any building on the subject property.
8. That the applicants proposed building will encroach 8’ (feet) into the required 20’ (foot)
setback on the North rear property line as shown in Exhibit A.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ST.
JOSEPH, MINNESOTA, that the following Findings of Fact support a variance to the minimum
building setback requirements:
9. That the variance is consistent with the St. Joseph Comprehensive Plan and in alliance with
Economic Development goal of: Retain, attract and grow businesses. The development of the
parcel aligns with the permitted uses in the Central Business District (Downtown
Commercial) and the city approved a rezone of the subject parcel to Central Business District
on November 20th, 2023.
10. That the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Ordinance. The
intent of the Central Business District is to have buildings that are set close to the street and
up to the property lot lines. The applicant is proposing to place the building as close to the
street as possible on the South, and East lot lines and 2’ (feet) on the West lot line with
building at 12’ (feet) on the North rear and detached cooler up to the lot line in the North rear.
11. That the Applicant has established that there are practical difficulties in complying with the
zoning ordinance.
a. That the circumstances of the property are not entirely caused by the landowner as
the adjacent property to the North is a Commercial Use, has a future land use of
commercial and the only reason the variance is needed is because the adjacent
property to the North is zoned R-3 Multi-family.
b. That the applicant’s request is unique given that the property is zoned Central
Business District (Downtown Commercial) and the surrounding property to the
North, South, and West is zoned residential however has a future land use of Central
Business District (Downtown Commercial). Properties to the East are zoned Central
Business District (Downtown Commercial).
c. That the variance is reasonable given the future land uses of the surrounding property
are all guided for Central Business District (Downtown Commercial). If the adjacent
property to the North was rezoned to match the long-term vision of the
Comprehensive plan then a Variance for the building setback on the Northside would
not be needed.
d. That the variance will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood given the
variance proposal is for a use that is common in the nearby area and the subject
property has been rezoned to Central Business District (Downtown Commercial).
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ST. JOSEPH, MINNESOTA, as follows:
1. Based on this Finding of Fact a variance to the minimum building setback at the North rear
property line on the subject property is approved with the following conditions:
a. This Finding of Fact resolution approving the Variance shall be recorded at Stearns
County recorder’s office.
b. The overall parking proposal submitted by the applicant shall require approval by the
City.
c. An extension to rebuild a building within the same footprint of the previous non-
conforming building on the West side lot line of the subject property shall require
approval by the City.
d. Site plan approval and land disturbance permit approval will need to occur along with
Building permit approval for the subject property and all other applicable ordinances
adhered to including stormwater regulations.
e. 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.
Whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted by the St. Joseph City Council this 18th

the property has a future land use of commercial and is part of a larger commercial
redevelopment tied to parcel 13 2nd Ave NW. The applicant is also screening the
parking lot on the West side with a vinyl privacy fence and on the East side with
shrubs.
b. That the applicant’s request is unique given that it is part of a larger parking proposal
and plan tied to redevelopment of parcel 13 2nd Ave NW. The subject parcel provides
the needed and required off-street parking spaces for parcel 13 2nd Ave NW thereby
ensuring the parking generated by the use at 13 2nd Ave NW will be met by off-street
parking spaces which lessens the burden for on-street public parking spaces and
public infrastructure.
c. That the variance is reasonable given the property would be used in a reasonable
manner. The applicant has proposed to screen the West side with a 6’ (foot) vinyl
privacy fence and on the East side with shrubs. The proposed screening will help
buffer noise, and light pollution onto adjacent properties. Runoff from the additional
impervious surface will not negatively impact adjacent properties or city alleyway or
streets.
d. That the variance will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood given the
variance proposal is for a use that is allowed and common in the nearby area.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ST. JOSEPH, MINNESOTA, as follows:
1. Based on this Finding of Fact a variance to the minimum parking lot setback on the subject
property is approved with the following conditions:
a. This Finding of Fact resolution approving the Variance shall be recorded at Stearns
County recorder’s office.
b. The Variance for exceeding the maximum impervious surface lot coverage shall
require approval by the City.
c. The overall parking plan for the subject property summited by the applicant shall
require approval by the City.
d. 6’ (foot)vinyl privacy fence shall be installed along the entire west side property line
of the subject property.
e. Shrubs shall be installed on the East side of the property line for the subject property
as shown in Exhibit A.
f. Signage shall be installed to direct patrons to the availability of parking on-site.
Signage shall indicate the parking is meant for patrons coming to the 13 2nd Ave NW
site and meet all applicable city regulations and permits.
g. Approval of the site plan and land disturbance permit for the subject property and all
other applicable ordinances adhered to including stormwater regulations.
h. 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.
Whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted by the St. Joseph City Council this 18th

9. That the variance is consistent with the St. Joseph Comprehensive Plan and in alliance with
Economic Development goal of: Retain, attract and grow businesses. The parking lot
proposal and variances for the West side setback and impervious surface coverage are part of
a larger commercial development on parcel 13 2nd Ave NW. The development of the parking
lot on the subject parcel ensures adequate off-street parking is provided for parcel 13 2nd Ave
N, the redevelopment meets the future land use of Commercial and is not creating any
parking or traffic issues because the parking generated by 13 2nd Ave NW will be met off-
street.
10. That the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Ordinance.

T. 320.252.7568 F. 320.252.6557
TO: Saint Cloud APO Policy Board
FROM: Brian Gibson, Executive Director
RE: Potential Beltline Funding Formulas
DATE: March 1, 2024
There are two questions to address:
1. For which parts of the project development process should costs be shared,
and,
2. How should shared-costs be divided among the jurisdictions?
At the February Beltline workshop, it was clear that the normal APO cost
distribution formula (i.e., based on population) was not acceptable to some
jurisdictions for at least some parts of the beltline development process. APO staff
committed to developing a variety of possible alternative formulas, which are
shown later in this memo.
Shared vs. Individual Costs
First, you will recall that the development process occurs in several distinct steps:
1. Planning and concept development
2. Environmental review
3. Final design
4. Right-of-way acquisition
5. Construction
At the workshop it was suggested that Steps 1 and 2 should be shared-costs, but
steps 3-5 should be the responsibility of the individual jurisdiction(s) which is(are)
constructing the project. But there was not unanimous consent about that
possibility. The Board should discuss this further and reach a consensus on it.
Potential Funding Formulas
Using the environmental review for the 33rd Street Mississippi River bridge corridor
as an example and using the regular (per capita) APO cost-sharing formula as a
starting point we have:
Standard Formula

Metro Bus $3,734.05 1.87%
Total $200,000.00 100.00%
First, we explore the possibility of the implementing jurisdiction(s) paying a set
percentage of the overall costs.
If 65% of the costs were to be paid by the relevant jurisdictions, the costs would
break out like this:

Total $200,000.00 100.00% 100.00% $0.00
Another possibility discussed was dividing costs based on the length of the beltline
within each jurisdiction.
There are two ways to consider this. The first is to consider only municipal
boundaries. In other words, for purposes of this formula, it does not matter who is
responsible for maintaining the roadway. If a segment of the beltline falls within a
jurisdiction’s boundaries, then that segment is attributed to them.

Cloud based on the orderly annexation agreement. But if it were attributed to
Sherburne County it would not impact the amounts paid by the bottom nine
jurisdictions.

Total $200,000.00 100.00% 100.00% $0.00
As you can see, under this formula some jurisdictions would pay nothing. All of the
beltline within the city of Sartell, for example, is actually maintained by Stearns
County, so that portion of the beltline is attributed to Stearns County.
Recommended Action: Decide which costs should be shared and approve a
cost-sharing formula.
