5.b Mann IUP - PC Packet1 | P a g e Date of Meeting: November 7, 2023 To: Chair Loeffler and Members of the Planning Commission From: T.J. Hofer, Consultant City Planner Re: Interim Use Permit for Multiple Uses and Principal Structures for 18180 Olinda Trail North Applicant: Charles Mann Zoning: Rural Residential General (RR-G), Shoreland Management Overlay (SM-O) Owner: Charles & Sherri Mann Future Land Use: General Rural Location: PID: 34.032.20.34.0009 Review Deadline December 17, 2023 The applicant is requesting an Interim Use Permit (IUP) to allow for multiple uses and multiple principal structures on the site. The site has historically been used for single-family dwelling, an allowed use, and outdoor commercial recreation, a conditional use, known as Flying Colors Trapeze. BACKGROUND The property is approximately 8.69 acres along Olinda Trail N and has an existing single-family home. The site has also historically been used for outdoor commercial recreation in the form of a summer camp that features circus activities such as trapeze and equestrian acts (circus camp). The applicant originally acquired the trapeze for personal use and for personal acquaintances. For several years, however, the site has functioned as a summer camp without the required approvals making it a nonconforming use. The City has not received any complaints regarding the nonconformity, however, staff became aware that the applicant was intending to erect a 2,500 2 | P a g e sq. ft. tent. Staff then reached out to establish the activities on the site and bring the site and use into compliance. PROPOSAL The applicant is proposing the site contain the existing single-family dwelling multiple accessory structures, a trapeze, an arched circus tent, and a circus horse ring. The City has records of the three most western accessory structures but does not have records of the two accessory structures to the east side of the lot. Permitted structures: No records of structures: The circus camp is active between June and August. Activities are generally held outside as weather permits. The trapeze and circus tent are temporary structures that are disassembled and stored during the off-season. The trapeze is 33 ft. high and the circus tent is 25 ft. high. The circus tent and trapeze are temporary structures. Staff does not count these as part of the total accessory structures on the site. The Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District has indicated that they do not count these towards the impervious surface amount on the site. Staff have evaluated the site with the same understanding. Activities for the circus camp generally take place between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 3 p.m. between Monday and Friday. Typically, the camp has between five and nine coaches and performers and between 25 to 35 participants. The applicant has stated that there are never more than 40 participants. The Unified Development Code (UDC) allows for Planned Unit Developments to “allow two or more principal uses on a single parcel of land,” however, the applicant does not wish to rezone the property as they anticipate relocating the circus camp in coming years. Staff have confirmed with the City Attorney that an interim use permit is an appropriate way to allow for multiple uses on the site for a limited time. 3 | P a g e Parking is required to be provided for all uses. The applicant is currently using an area of the field on the southeast side of the site as parking that accommodates approximately 45 vehicles. The applicant has indicated that parking needs vary greatly by the type of camp or classes that are ongoing. Many of the customers for the circus camp are minors who are dropped off by guardians and do not generate a need for parking. EVALUATION OF REQUEST Outdoor commercial recreation is a conditional use in the RR-G district. This requirement can also be met using an IUP as the two permits are similar with the IUP having additional restrictions. Interim Use Permit Chapter 153.500.060 Subd. 1(C)(I) of the UDC lists the general standards to meet to grant a CUP or IUP. Below these standards are repeated in italics, with the staff’s findings following: 1. The proposed use will be in compliance with and shall not have a negative effect upon the Comprehensive Plan, including public facilities and capital improvement plans. The proposed uses will be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan guides the parcel for General Rural. The General Rural land use is primarily used for residential areas of mixed lot sizes and states that “recreational commercial uses are allowed as a conditional use.” The use has been operating as a nonconforming use for approximately seven years with the City not receiving any complaints. The use does not have a negative effect upon the Comprehensive Plan. The use will be required to comply with the nuisance section of the City Code. 2. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the proposed use will promote and enhance the general public welfare and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals or comfort. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the proposed uses will promote and enhance the general public welfare and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, or comfort. The proposed use should have no impact on public welfare. The applicant has provided proof of insurance for past operating years. Staff have included a condition that the circus camp use must have insurance for the use and must submit proof of insurance at the request of the City. 3. The proposed use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values or scenic views. The proposed uses will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values or scenic views. 4 | P a g e 4. The establishment of the proposed use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. The proposed uses will not impede the development or improvement of surrounding properties. 5. Adequate public facilities and services are available or can be reasonably provided to accommodate the use which is proposed. Adequate public facilities and services are available for the proposed uses. The proposed use will not require additional facilities or services. Washington County has noted that a Commercial Driveway Access Permit from Washington County Public Works will be required as the site is accessed off of CSAH 3. The County has also noted that the City should work to ensure that adequate parking and driveway/ drive aisle area is available to avoid stacking on CSAH 3. Staff have included conditions to address the requirements and conditions identified by the County. 6. The proposed use shall conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located and all other applicable standards of this Chapter. The proposed uses are consistent with the applicable regulations of the RR-G District and are consistent with the requirements of the UDC. No use specific regulations are established in the UDC for “Recreation, Outdoor Commercial.” Parking is proposed to be provided by a vegetated area on the southwest of the site. Due to the seasonal nature, an improved surface is not necessary. The area must remain vegetated to ensure dust does not become a nuisance. Any future changes to the circus camp will be required to conform with the applicable regulations of the district and the Interim Use Permit must be amended to allow for the change. Reasonable conditions of approval can be added if the Planning Commission finds issues with the proposed use. 7. The proposed use complies with the general and specific performance standards as specified by this Section and this Chapter. The Interim Use Permit meets the general and specific performance standards of the UDC. In addition, Chapter 153.500.060 Subd. 1(C)(II) notes the following standards specific to IUPs must be met: 1. The use is allowed as an interim use in the respective Base Zoning District or any applicable Overlay District. Outdoor Commercial Recreation is allowed through a Conditional Use Permit, which can be also approved under an Interim Use Permit. 5 | P a g e 2. The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty. As an interim use, the City can set an end date or ‘sunset’ of the interim use. Staff recommends the interim use be set to terminate after four years at which point the applicant would reapply if they wished to continue the use and another site is not found. 3. The use will not impose additional unreasonable costs on the public. The proposed use would not require an extension of city-owned infrastructure or facilities (such as roads, city sewer, etc.). Washington County requires a Commercial Driveway Access Permit for the site. 4. The user agrees to any conditions that the City Council deems appropriate for permission of the use. Conditions of approval must be agreed upon by the applicant. ANALYSIS Review Comments The submittal was sent to city staff and other regulatory agencies for review and comment. Washington County The County noted that a Commercial Driveway Access Permit from Washington County Public Works would be required with the additional use. The County recommends that the City, as a condition of approval, work with the applicant to ensure there is sufficient space and that operations are managed to ensure that traffic does not queue onto CSAH 3. Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District The CMSCWD noted this project does not trigger CMSCWD Rules. If improvements to the parking area are required, the CMSCWD rules would likely be triggered. Engineering Department The City Engineer noted that a grading permit would be required for any site disturbances if required or if the Watershed required any stormwater management. Washington Conservation District At the time of writing this staff report, the Washington Conservation District had not provided any comments. 6 | P a g e Department of Natural Resources At the time of writing this staff report, the Department of Natural Resources district had not provided any comments. Fire Department The Fire Chief had no comment. Public Works Department The Public Works Director had no comment. Staff Analysis Staff finds that the proposed plan is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and UDC. Staff believes that the proposal for an IUP to allow for a single-family dwelling and outdoor commercial recreation is generally in compliance with the requirements outlined within the UDC. The use is consistent with the future land use shown in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and the proposed use meets the definition of the RR-G zoning district. Staff believes this is adequate to accommodate the proposed use. The UDC requires that parking surfaces be made of “durable and dustless surface.” Based on the seasonal nature of the use, staff believes that so long as the area remains vegetated and a nuisance is not created by the parking area, the area should remain as is rather than constructing a hard impervious surface for the limited parking needed. Staff have reviewed the plan for consistency with the standards outlined for Conditional Use Permits and believe the request meets or exceeds UDC criteria. Staff have included conditions to address issues identified in the staff report. 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. 7 | P a g e Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request for Interim Use Permit for multiple uses and principal structures. Approval includes a resolution. The following findings and conditions of approval are recommended: 1. The site will be in substantial compliance with the site plan submitted and reviewed with this resolution. 2.

The applicant shall obtain a Commercial Driveway Access Permit from Washington County Public Works. 6. Queueing for parking on the site shall not cause stacking on CSAH 3/Olinda Trail North. If stacking is observed to create a nuisance, the Interim Use Permit may be revoked. 7. Any site-disturbing activities will require a grading permit and a permit from the Carnelian- Marine-St. Croix Watershed District. 8. If operations to bring in equipment, materials, or livestock damage any roadway, the applicant shall be responsible for repairing the roadway to the same or better conditions. 9. The IUP shall terminate four years from the date of approval, in the event the property is sold, the use is discontinued for more than one year, or conditions of the permit are violated, whichever occurs first. 10. The applicant shall obtain all necessary permits and approvals regarding accessory structures on the site. 8 | P a g e 11. The applicant shall comply with all applicable local, state, and federal permits and requirements for the new development on the parcel. 12.

Brief Description of Request Flying Colors Trapeze (https://flyingcolorstrapeze.com) has been offering summer circus camps for children between the ages of 8 and 17 for the last eight (8) years on our family property. Our family Circus Trapeze has been on the property for the last 17 years and is an iconic sight seeing phenomena for anyone traveling through the Scandi/Marine On Saint Croix area. What started as a small social club that operated only on weekends for a close knit group of 10 to 15 amateur trapeze enthusiasts has grown to a “give something back” business. Although we did not designate it as a 501 C3 not for profit business, Flying Colors Trapeze Circus Summer Camps have not made any profit during its entire existence. It truly is a labor of love. Nearly all of the revenue is paid to the circus performers that also act a coaches to the participating children. The remainder of the revenue is used for insurance, to maintain & improve the equipment; all to enhance the camp experience for the children. Sherri Mann started the ‘business’ after her two daughters graduated high school and moved on a through college. Her intention was, and still is, to bring an empowering experience to young children through a unique non competitive athletic experience. The camps are now so popular that we, unfortunately have had to turn away some that desire to join the circus camps. The camp operates only through the summer, the second week in June to the middle of August. On rainy days it has been a struggle to keep the week’s group of 35 to 40 young children busy with circus activities. The trapeze is not usable during rainy days. Other circus activities are also difficult to participate in during rainy days. A protected higher ceiling structure that supports circus apparatuses has become a necessity. The IUP request is for the adding of a temporary arched circus tent to allow both an area for circus activities to continue through rainy days but also as an escape from the hot sun on the sunniest of days that reach extreme temperatures. It is also can be used as a shaded picnic area for the children to eat their bag lunches and store their day bags. Sherri is not sure how many more years she will operate the circus summer camp as we are both nearing retirement age. Ideally we would like to find an alternative piece of land if a transition of ownership is to happen and the camps are to continue for much more than 3 years. That is the reason for an IUP as opposed to a CUP as well as the arched circus tent being bought as temporary, movable structure as opposed to a permanent structure. It will easily move easily to a new location, if one is found or eventually needed. We respectfully request an IUP and any variances that the City of Scandia feels are needed to continue Flying Colors Trapeze Summer Camps.

Ticknor, P.E., Deputy Director October 20, 2023 T.J. Hofer Planner City of Scandia 14727 209th St N Scandia, MN 55073 Comments on Flying Colors Trapeze – Interim Use Permit Dear Mr. Hofer, Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the Interim Use Permit (IUP) for the Flying Colors Trapeze site located along CSAH 3. Our development review team has reviewed the application and offers the following comments. The proposed interim use is a change in use of the existing driveway access and will require a Commercial Driveway Access Permit from Washington County Public Works, available at https://www.co.washington.mn.us/486/Permits. The County’s main concern would be the potential for queuing cars onto CSAH 3, particularly with the limited space between the driveway and the proposed parking location. The County recommends that the City, as a condition of approval, work with the applicant to ensu re there is sufficient space and that operations are managed to ensure that traffic does not queue onto CSAH 3. Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on the IUP application for the Flying Colors Trapeze. We look forward to continuing to work with the City of Scandia to ensure that development in this area is successful and well-served by the transportation network. If you have any questions, please get in touch with me at 651-430-4307 or daniel.elder@co.washington.mn.us Sincerely, Daniel Elder Planner II Cc (email only): Wayne Sandberg, Public Works Director/County Engineer Frank Ticknor, Deputy Director Public Works Lyssa Leitner, Public Works Planning Director Joe Gustafson, Traffic Engineer Kevin Peterson, Design Engineer
