08.b1 Decker Variance - CC Packet
Date of Meeting: October 17, 2023 To: Mayor Maefsky and Members of the City Council From: TJ Hofer, Consultant City Planner Re: Variance to Construct on a Nonconforming Lot for PID 34.032.20.24.0011 and 34.032.20.24.0016 Applicant: Theresa Decker Zoning: RR-N, SM-O, FP-O Owner: Cody & Theresa Decker Future Land Use: General Rural Location: PID 34.032.20.24.0011 and 34.032.20.24.0016 Review Deadline December 5, 2023 The applicant is requesting approval of a variance to construct a single-family dwelling on a nonconforming lot. Additionally, the proposed structure encroaches into the setback for the ordinary high-water level and the front yard setback. The staff report to the Planning Commission from the October 3, 2023, meeting is attached and includes the background of the project as well as an analysis based on the standards in the Unified Development Code. ANALYSIS Review Comments The submittal was sent to city staff and other regulatory agencies for review and comment, and comments have been incorporated into the resolution. These comments are detailed in the Planning Commission report that is attached. Planning Commission The application was reviewed by the Planning Commission at their October 3, 2023 meeting. The Planning Commission held a public hearing where no comments were received. The Planning Commission then closed the public hearing. The Planning Commission discussed the project including the site visit, the size of the house, the minimum action required to alleviate the practical difficulty, and considered asking the applicant to revise the plans. The applicant provided clarification regarding the size of the proposed structure and the placement of the proposed structure on the lot. The Planning Commission moved to recommend approval of the variance. The motion was approved with a vote of 3-2 (Aye: Loeffler, Hogle, Libby; Nay: Rynders, Fodor). Staff Analysis Staff finds that the proposed plan is consistent with the UDC and Comprehensive Plan. The UDC has no standard for determining a structures maximum size other than total impervious surface allowed on a lot. The City has no record of approving the existing accessory structure. The applicant and staff have identified a possible location the accessory structure could be placed that would meet all setbacks. The location is contingent on the applicant working with the Watershed locate the shed and wetland buffers. The accessory structure is under 120 sq. ft. and does not require a building permit. COUNCIL ACTION The City Council can do one of the following: 1. Approve the variance request, with or without conditions, of the attached ordinance and resolutions. 2. Deny the variance request, with findings, of the attached ordinance and resolutions. 3. Table the request for further review/study. The Planning Commission recommends approval of the proposed variance, subject to the following findings and conditions: Findings 1. The proposed use is a reasonable use of the property. The applicant has not indicated if the proposed house would be a year-round residence or a seasonal dwelling, however the sewer in the area has capacity to provide service to either use. The property is within a zoning district that permits single-family residential use. It is reasonable that the lot be approved for development of a single-family dwelling with an attached accessory garage. 2. Development of the lot is not directly due to circumstances created by the property owner. The lots were previously owned by a property owner that owns other nonconforming lots within the area. The lots should not have been sold separately from the other nonconforming lots, however, the City does not have any ability to interject in private exchanges of property 3. If the variance were granted, it would not alter the essential character of the locality. 4. If the variance were granted, it would not alter the essential character of the locality. 5. Economic conditions are not the sole factor in the variance. 6. The variance is not related to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. 7. The proposed use is the minimum action required to eliminate the practical difficulty. Conditions 1. The location and layout of structures on the lot shall be substantially consistent with the plans and setbacks submitted to the City and reviewed with this request with the exception of where revisions are required with this approval. No other structures other than the proposed single-family dwelling are approved with this variance. 2. The applicants shall combine the two parcels (PID 34.032.20.24.0011 and 34.032.20.24.0016) into a single tax parcel before a building permit can be issued. 3. The applicant shall receive a permit from and be in compliance with the standards of the Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District. The applicant shall also obtain any required variances from the Watershed District. 4. The proposed development shall connect to the Anderson/Erickson Sewer System. Further additions to the proposed development may be limited based on the capacity of the sewer system. 5. A grading plan and erosion control plan shall be submitted to the City for review, showing any areas of soil disruption, construction entrances, building floor elevations, including the garage, and drainage patterns. 6. A driveway permit shall be submitted to the City for approval. 7. The applicant shall secure all applicable permits required from local, state, and federal entities. 8. The applicant shall pay all other fees and escrows associated with this application. 9. The applicant must commence the authorized use or improvement within one year of the date on which the variance is issued. After one year, the approvals issued under the provisions of the Section shall expire without further action by the Planning Commission or Board 10. The applicant shall record the variance with Washington County within one year of the date when the variance is approved by the City. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commissions recommends the following: Motion to approve Resolution 10-17-23-01 to approve a Variance to allow for construction of a single-family dwelling, with conditions as described by staff within the staff report.

Christine Maefsky, Mayor ATTEST: Kyle Morell, City Administrator Date of Meeting: October 3, 2023 To: Chair Loeffler and Planning Commission Members From: TJ Hofer, Consultant City Planner Re: Variance to Construct on a Nonconforming Lot for PID 34.032.20.24.0011 and 34.032.20.24.0016 Applicant: Theresa Decker Zoning: RR-N, SM-O, FP-O Owner: Cody & Theresa Decker Future Land Use: General Rural Location: PID 34.032.20.24.0011 and 34.032.20.24.0016 Review Deadline December 5, 2023 The applicant is requesting approval of a variance to construct a single-family dwelling on a nonconforming lot. Additionally, the proposed structure encroaches into the setback for the ordinary high-water level and the front yard setback. BACKGROUND The site for the proposed development is two existing lots that were recently purchased by the applicant. The two lots are both nonconforming, with one lot being 0.04 acres and the other 0.65 acres. The lots are both zoned Rural Residential Neighborhood (RR-N) and are within the Shoreland Management Overlay (SM-O). The larger lot has significant portions that are under the ordinary high water level (OHWL) of Big Marine Lake, which is 942.2 ft., and within the FEMA flood elevation of 943 ft. Governing Standards The UDC states: Section 153.500.110 Subd. 5. Nonconforming Lots. A legal nonconforming, substandard lot of record that is vacant may be developed for one single family detached dwelling without variances and upon approval of an Administrative Permit, provided that: (A) The lot was legally established in accordance with all applicable zoning and subdivision requirements existing at the time of its creation and is a separate, distinct tax parcel. (C) The lot shall be at least 66% of the dimensional standards for lot size and lot width as required by the Base Zoning District and any applicable Overlay District. (F) All structure and septic system setbacks shall be met. (G) Impervious surface coverage must not exceed 25 %. (H) If in the case of two or more contiguous lots or parcels of land under a single ownership, any individual lot or parcel does not meet the minimum requirements of this Chapter, each individual lot or parcel cannot be considered as a separate parcel of land for purposes of sale or development. Such lots must be combined with adjacent lots under the same ownership so that the combination of lots will equal one or more conforming lots as much as possible, unless each individual lot is at least 66% of the dimensional standards for lot size and lot width and meets the requirements of paragraphs (D) through (G), above. (K) Overlay Districts. Nonconforming buildings and uses as described in the Shoreland Management Overlay District and the Floodplain Management Overlay District contained in Chapters 155 and 156 shall be subject to the applicable regulations and standards relating to such buildings and uses in this Chapter. Where any regulations are found to be inconsistent, the more restrictive of the regulations shall apply. Development of nonconforming lots is allowed through an administrative permit given certain standards are met. The proposed development on the proposed lot does not meet these standards and therefore requires a variance to be developed. EVALUATION OF REQUEST Existing and Proposed Conditions The existing lot is a nonconforming lot in the Rural Residential Neighborhood (RR-N) base zoning district, the Shoreland Management Overlay District (SM-O), and the General Floodplain Overlay District (FP-O). Lot standards are detailed below with the proposed conditions of the lot. RR-N SM-O Proposed Conditions Minimum Lot Size (ac.) (Existing Lot of Record) 0.92 2.5 0.69 Buildable Area (ac.) 1.00 N/A ~ 0.01 Minimum Lot Width (ft.) 150 160 134.13 Lot Frontage (ft.) 100 N/A 134.13 Setbacks (ft.) Front 40 N/A 19.98 Side 10 N/A 20.01 OHWL 100 100 50.97 Maximum Lot Coverage 25% 25% 25.00% State statute requires that contiguous nonconforming lots under the same ownership within shoreland must be combined to achieve as much conformity as possible. Once combined, the lot will be remain nonconforming. Staff has included a condition that the lots be combined. Once combined, the lot is legally nonconforming due to lot size, buildable area, lot frontage, and minimum lot width. The OHWL setback and front setback overlap over a large amount of the site area. The buildable area is approximately 0.01 acres or 397.43 sq. ft. The parcel is approximately 30,754.74 sq. ft., however, a large section of the lot is under the OHWL. The area outside of the OHWL is 18,169 sq. ft. A large area of the western part of the lot is within the 100-year flood elevation of FEMA. The site area also does not meet minimum lot width or lot frontage requirements. The proposed principal structure is a single-family dwelling. The dwelling encroaches into the OHWL setback by 49.03 ft. (50.97 ft. setback) and encroaches into the front setback by 20.02 ft. (19.98 ft. setback). The applicant submitted an updated site plan on September 29, 2023, that shows an accessory structure that is on the lot that is proposed to be relocated. Relocating this existing nonconforming structure requires an additional variance as the original request and public hearing did not include any information about an accessory structure. The City does not have records approving this structure, so the City cannot determine if the existing accessory structure is a legal or illegal nonconformity. This building is accounted for with the impervious lot coverage. If the building remains or is relocated, the impervious coverage will be at 25.00% as proposed. Variance Section 153.500.060 Subd. 1 (B) establishes the standards for when the City shall approve a variance. The variance must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, must be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this Chapter, and when the strict enforcement of this Chapter would result in practical difficulties with carrying out the strict letter of the Code. Practical difficulties are established within the UDC and are listed below in italics. Staff’s analysis of these is below each practical difficulty: a. The applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by this Chapter. The proposed use is a reasonable use of the property. The applicant has not indicated if the proposed house would be a year-round residence or a seasonal dwelling, however the sewer in the area has capacity to provide service to either use. The property is within a zoning district that permits single-family residential use. It is reasonable that the lot be approved for development of a single-family dwelling with an attached accessory garage. b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Development of the lot is not directly due to circumstances created by the property owner. The lots were previously owned by a property owner that owns other nonconforming lots within the area. The lots should not have been sold separately from the other nonconforming lots, however, the City does not have any ability to interject in private exchanges of property. c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. If the variance were granted, it would not alter the essential character of the locality. d. Economic conditions alone shall not constitute practical difficulties. Economic conditions are not the sole factor in the variance. e. May include, but is not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. The variance is not related to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. f. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. The proposed variance will not impair adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. g. The requested variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the practical difficulty. The proposed use is the minimum action required to eliminate the practical difficulty. ANALYSIS Review Comments The submittal was sent to city staff and other regulatory agencies for review and comment. Comments from other entities have been incorporated into the conditions for approval. Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District The Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District has provided a letter saying they do not support a variance request to exceed impervious coverage limits. The Watershed has also indicated that a variance will be required from Rule 4.0 of the Watershed as the buffering requirements cannot be met on the site. The variance application is proposing habitat restoration of areas currently existing as turf grass below the OHWL rather than complete waiver of the District rule. The variance request is scheduled for CMSCWD Board consideration at the 10/11/23 meeting. Engineering Department The City Engineer has noted that the City should require a five-foot drainage and utility easement along the entire eastern property line to allow for private utilities to be located within that area with the road being so close to the property line. The Engineer also noted that a driveway and grading permit will be required. The Engineer also noted the slope of road appears to drain towards the proposed house and the location of the garage is potentially an issue for drainage if the floor elevation and grading are not closely looked at including the garage floor being higher than the roadway. This will lead to the driveway getting steeper with a short distance, however, if the garage is not higher during snow melt/rain the garage will be at risk of flooding. Additionally, the City Engineer noted that the area has seen a large loss of tree canopy and that this development will further impact the tree canopy. Finally, the City Engineer, City Administrator, and Public Works Director discussed the sewer system in the area and noted that this is likely the last development that will be able to be supported by the sewer system. Fire Department The Fire Chief had no comment. Public Works Department The Public Works Director had no comment. Washington Conservation District Washington Conservation District provided no comment. Washington County Washington County had no comment. Department of Natural Resources The DNR Area Hydrologist provided no comment. Staff Analysis Staff finds that the proposed plan is consistent with the UDC and Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan prioritizes environmental stewardship on lakeside lots. Allowing for the applicant to exceed the impervious surface limits is contradictory to the UDC, Comprehensive Plan, and the applicant has not established a practical difficulty that requires the variance. The City has no record of approving the existing accessory structure. Relocating this accessory structure would require a variance as encroaches into the OHWL setback, with a proposed setback of 23.9 ft. Without a variance, the structure must be removed. Staff has included that the variance approval be conditional upon the site being in substantial compliance with the site plan submitted to the City. An additional variance would be required to allow the accessory structure to remain. COMMISSION ACTION The Planning Commission can do one of the following: 1. Recommend approval, with or without conditions, of the attached ordinance and resolutions. 2. Recommend denial, with findings, of the attached ordinance and resolutions. 3. Table the request for further review/study. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed variance, subject to the following findings: 1. The proposed use is a reasonable use of the property. The applicant has not indicated if the proposed house would be a year-round residence or a seasonal dwelling, however the sewer in the area has capacity to provide service to either use. The property is within a zoning district that permits single-family residential use. It is reasonable that the lot be approved for development of a single-family dwelling with an attached accessory garage. 2. Development of the lot is not directly due to circumstances created by the property owner. The lots were previously owned by a property owner that owns other nonconforming lots within the area. The lots should not have been sold separately from the other nonconforming lots, however, the City does not have any ability to interject in private exchanges of property 3. If the variance were granted, it would not alter the essential character of the locality. 4. If the variance were granted, it would not alter the essential character of the locality. 5. Economic conditions are not the sole factor in the variance. 6. The variance is not related to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. 7. The proposed use is the minimum action required to eliminate the practical difficulty. Staff has prepared conditions of approval: 1. The location and layout of structures on the lot shall be substantially consistent with the plans and setbacks submitted to the City and reviewed with this request with the exception of where revisions are required with this approval. No other structures other than the proposed single-family dwelling are approved with this variance. 2. The applicant shall receive a permit from and be in compliance with the standards of the Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District. The applicant shall also obtain any required variances from the Watershed District. 3. The proposed development shall connect to the Anderson/Erickson Sewer System. Further additions to the proposed development may be limited based on the capacity of the sewer system. 4. A grading plan and erosion control plan shall be submitted to the City for review, showing any areas of soil disruption, construction entrances, building floor elevations, including the garage, and drainage patterns. 5. A driveway permit shall be submitted to the City for approval. 6. The applicant shall secure all applicable permits required from local, state, and federal entities. 7. The applicant shall pay all other fees and escrows associated with this application. 8. The applicant must commence the authorized use or improvement within one year of the date on which the variance is issued. After one year, the approvals issued under the provisions of the Section shall expire without further action by the Planning Commission or Board 9. The applicant shall record the variance with Washington County within one year of the date when the variance is approved by the City.

Big Marine Lake Home 8/1/23 8/1/23 To Whom It May Concern, We are seeking a setback variance for the property we own located at 18650 Norell Ave for the west portion of the home to be placed 50 ft from the OHWL (over 120 ft from the shoreline) and the NE corner to be placed 19 ft from the front lot line, and the SE corner will maintain the 40 ft setback. This would place the home over 120 ft from the shoreline. Due to the abnormal angle of the city’s right of way bordering our lot to the east running north to south between the road and easterly lot line, we need to seek a variance to place the NE corner of the home at 19 ft from the lot line to maintain a 40 ft setback from the road. We would need for our driveway to cross over the city owned portion of land to connect to the road as would be customary. We would be able to meet the 20 ft side setbacks with no issues. The positioning of this house would conform with the other homes in this neighborhood as many are located much closer to the shoreline than we are requesting. We would maintain the 100 ft setback from the shoreline with no issue. Due to the unique nature of the property we have a large section of property that lies between the lakeshore and the OHWL, which actually would put our house much further from the shoreline than many of the other homes along Big Marine. Granting this variance would not alter the character of the area, and would very much conform to the character of the area. We are not asking for this variance due to financial constraints, rather characteristics of the lot outside of our control. This variance would have no impair an adequate supply of light or air to adjacent properties. We are proposing a 3 BR home with a 3 car garage so we do not anticipate any substantial increase to congestion on the public street or add any risk to anyone’s public safety. I believe the development of this property would actually reduce the fire danger as we would be removing diseased/dead trees which pose added risk. We believe construction of the proposed home would not only not diminish values of neighboring properties, but rather help support property values now that our property will be maintained and groomed. I believe the requested variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the issues currently posing barriers to building a reasonable sized single family home, while balancing preserving the environment as much as possible. We will be combining all parcels into 1. Application has been sent to county recorder, and they replied that they cannot record until November.

The CMSCWD does not support any variance from water resource setbacks as these variances impact the long-term health of Big Marine Lake. If the City does approve a variance from water resource setback, CMSCWD Rule 4.0 is triggered which requires a minimum and average buffer from the OHWL be established (50 and 100 ft, respectively) and restoration to native conditions of all areas disturbed within the buffer. The site plan submitted 9/20/23 demonstrates that both the 50ft minimum and 100ft average requirements will not be met. The proposed shed location doesn’t meet the District’s minimum 50ft setback requirement and the average buffer width is 72ft, a 3,855 SF buffer deficit. Options that could be considered to meet CMSCWD Rule 4.0 requirements: 1) Move proposed shed behind the 50ft minimum setback requirement. 2) Reduce the overall impervious surface being proposed for the lot. 3) Increase the amount of buffer restoration above the OHWL. 4) Seek greater variance allowance from front lot setbacks. Since the applicant cannot meet the District requirements with the current proposed site plan, they are planning to seek a variance from District rules and requirements. The variance application is proposing habitat restoration of areas currently existing as turf grass below the OHWL rather than complete waiver of the District rule (see Image 1). The variance request is schedule for CMSCWD Board consideration at the 10/11/23 meeting. Respectfully, Tom Langer – CMSCWD Riparian Permit Specialist Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District 11660 Myeron Rd North • Stillwater, MN 55082 • Tel 651-275-7451 Wade Johnson, President ● Kristin Tuenge, Treasurer ● Paul Richert, Secretary Managers: Tori Dupre, Mike White, Andy Weaver, & Ann Warner 2 Image 1: Existing conditions with proposed buffer and habitat restoration plans for CMSCWD variance application.
