City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia
14727 209`h St. North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Consider the recommendation of the Planning Commission to
approve:
1. Guidelines for the Protection of Scandia's Scenic Viewsheds
(Resolution No. OS-15-01-01)
2. Ordinance No. 130, Amending Ordinance No. 122, the City of
Scandia Development Code, Chapter 2, Section 6.7 (Density
Standards in Open Space Conservation Subdivisions)
Deadline/Timeline: N/A
Background: • During preparation of the City's Comprehensive Plan, work was
begun to identify scenic views in Scandia using a methodology
created by the National Park Service. The project was not
completed before the plan was adopted, but the plan includes a
goal (LU Goal 14)to "protect scenic rural roads, viewpoints and
vistas identified through the planning process from visually
intrusive or incompatible development". A policy, strategy and
implementation tasks calling for continuing the development of
the city's inventory of scenic resources were included in the
adopted plan. (See LU Policy 14.2 and LU Implementation
Strategy 14.2.1 of the Plan, page 136.)
• Beginning in May 2011, Commission Chair Christine Maefsky
chaired a subcommittee of the Planning Commission that worked
on this issue. The committee, which also included a number of
interested citizens, met six times and also conducted field work.
Several versions of the Guidelines were reviewed. Christine
completed most of the work on the Guidelines herself, with
minimal assistance from staff and consultants.
• The Planning Commission held a work session on the Guidelines
document at its March 6 meeting. At its May 1 meeting, the
Commission unanimously voted to recommend that the City
Council approve it.
• The Guidelines would be used by the City to review new
developments proposed under the "Open Space Conservation
Subdivisions" language of the Zoning Ordinance (see Chapter 2,
Page 1 of 3
OS/11/12
Section 6 of the Development Code.) The existing ordinance
language allows for up to a 10 percent density bonus as an
incentive to encourage projects that demonstrate "Preservation of
priority scenic views as identified by the City, especially as viewed
from public roads and properry." The Guidelines document
identifies the priority scenic views, as anticipated by the
Comprehensive Plan and ordinance language.
• Now that the views have been identified, the Planning
Commission has recommended an amendment to this language to
provide a greater incentive to preserve the priority views.
Ordinance No. 130 would increase the maximum density bonus
for preservation of scenic views from 10 percent to 25 percent.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the ordinance
amendment at its May 1 meeting. No public comment was
received at the hearing. The Commission is forwarding it to the
Council for adoption concurrently with the Guidelines.
• There is one other section of the Development Code that
anticipated adoption of the Guidelines. The performance
standards for Wireless Communications Antennas and Towers
(see Chapter 2, Section 4.30 (8) (C)) limit the height of towers to
75 and require "stealth" design if located within a designated
Scandia scenic viewshed. This is the only section of the ordinance
that would regulate land use based on the Guidelines document.
• The Guidelines identify seven specific viewshed corridors. At the
same time, they recognize that listing or evaluating all of the city's
scenic vistas would be an impractical task. In the case of sites not
already identified as having scenic views,the landowner would
have the opportunity to request designation according to the
procedures and criteria documented in the guidelines.
• Even if a landowner is not seeking to use the incentives offered for
Open Space Conservation Subdivisions, the guidelines include
opportunities for recognizing significant views and individual
efforts to protect them. The city could consider allowing some
flexibility in the application of some standards (such as a setback
requirements) if such flexibility would help preserve scenic views.
Or,the city could designate property as a "Scandia Scenic
Heritage Partner" in recognition of private efforts to preserve the
scenic, rural and historic character of the community.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Council accept the recommendations of the
Planning Commission and adopt the Resolution and Ordinance.

Guidelines for the Protection of Scandia's
Priority Scenic Viewsheds
SCANDIA'S VISION and SCENIC PRESERVATION HERITAGE
Scandia is known... as a rural small town with a unique character and history: The village (is) the
center ofsocial community activities, while Gammelgarden (museum) attracts people to learn about
Minnesota history and enjoy a slice of Swedish culture. Rural buildings endowed with Scandia's history
and identiry are preserved or incorporated into development and redevelopment, and family farms can
still be found within the city.
City of Scandia Comprehensive Plan
2008 - 2030
"THE BEA UTIFUL St. Croix River, which forms part of the boundary line between Minnesota and
Wisconsin, has miraculously remained largely unspoiled hy the encroachments of civilization. And
perhaps no part of the St. Croix Valley is more rich scenically or historically than that which lies
between Stillwater and Taylors Falls. Property owners, as well as farsighted state and local officials,
have jealously guarded the natural wonders of the river and the areas adjoining it, and nearly all efforts
to operr the district to ��ampant tourism and industrial development have been thwarted. "
Scandia—Then and Now.
Anna Engquist, 1974
The goal of the Scenic Viewshed Protection Guidelines is to continue Scandia's historic efforts to guard
its natural, historic and scenic beauty along the St. Croix River. The Guidelines aim to
• Protect Scandia's scenic resources
• Enhance its natural beauty to make it a desired place to live and visit
• Maintain attractive entrance ways into and comdors through the city
• Improve Scandia's economic vitality by enhancing its attractiveness to its residents and visitors

BACKGROUND
During the process of developing the City of Scandia Comprehensive Plan 2008 —2030, work was
begun to identify Scandia's significant scenic views. Seventy-four sites in the city were identified as
potential scenic views worthy of protection. As a result of this work, implementation tasks were
included in the Comprehensive Plan to both complete the process of identifying and designating priority
viewsheds for protection, and developing recommendations and guidelines for the city to use toward that
goal.
A viewshed is an area of land, water or combination that is visible to the human eye from a certain
vantage point. In city planning, viewsheds tend to be areas of particular scenic or historic value that are
deemed worthy of preservation in the process of development or other change. Viewsheds are often
spaces that are seen from public areas such as from public roadways or public parks. The preservation
of viewsheds is often a goal in designating open space areas or green belts.
Scandia's Scenic Viewsheds Committee was formed in May 2011 for the purpose of completing the
work begun during the 2030 Comprehensive Plan development process. To guide its work, the
committee relied upon three main resources:
• The Scandia 2030 Comprehensive Plan which repeatedly emphasizes the goal of preserving
Scandia's scenic, historic, natural, and rural character as development moves forward
• The National Park Service- Mississippi National River and Recreation Area and Embrace Open
Space which provided training in scenic quality analysis to assess scenic viewsheds and gave a
common language for talking about them. That training was conducted for members of the
Scandia Scenic Viewsheds Committee
• The Scenic Assessment of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, which was done by the St.
Croix Scenic Coalition in collaboration with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources,
the University of Minnesota Department of Landscape Architecture, the Washington County
Soil and Water Conservation District, and the National Park Service
Draft for Review by City Council, May 15, 2012 3
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Guidelines for the Protection of Scandia's Priority Scenic Viewsheds is twofold:
1. to provide incentives for landowners and developers to preserve Scandia's scenic heritage and 2. to
provide clarity for the regulation of cell phone tower placement within the city.
Incentives
The Guidelines are an incentive based approach to fostering Scandia's future development in a way that
contributes to its historic, rural and natural beauty preservation. They are meant to give guidance to
both individual homebuilders and larger developers in recognizing and working to preserve the scenic
qualities of development sites. Scenic viewshed criteria may assist developers in highlighting the scenic
aspects of a site, including ways to place structures to protect or enhance a site's scenic qualities.
Regulation
The Guidelines provide direction for the placement of new cell phone towers erected within the city. In
accord with the City of Scandia Development Code, Chapter 2, "Towers shall be a maximum of 75 feet
in height and shal] be of stealth design if located within one-quarter mile of State Highway 95, within a
designated Scandia scenic viewshed, or within the Historic Village Area (VMU-Aa Zoning District). A
stealth design is preferred for towers in other locations."
IDENTIFIED PRIORITY VIEWSHEDS
Priority Viewshed Corridors
The Guidelines apply directly to identified properties that are located along roads that have been given
the designation of Scandia Scenic Viewshed Corridor:
• Scandia Trail (Highway 97)
• St. Croix Trail (Highway 95)
• Manning Avenue (County Road 15)
• Olinda Trail (County Road 3)
• Lofton Avenue (County Road 91)
• Mayberry Trail east of Lofton Avenue
• Oakhill Road (County Road 52) south of Highway 97.
These are roadways that form the backdrop of the community, the roads that are seen as "Scandia" by
the most people most often, the roads that up front tell the story of our community, who we are and what
we value, and the roads that, because of their high visibility and use, could lend themselves to less
protective scenic development patterns. Mayberry Trail, while not a major thoroughfare, was seen as
significant as it represents the historic main road to Scandia and Marine-on-St. Croix from the west. It
also is a strong example of the woodlands that once were more a part of Scandia's landscape and still are
scattered throughout the city.
Priority Viewshed Sites
Along the designated priority viewshed corridors, specific viewshed sites have been further identified.
Draft for Review by City Council, May 15, 2012 4
OTHER SCENIC VIEWSHEDS
Scandia is rich in scenic vistas. Attempting to list or evaluate all of them would be an impractical task.
Scandia has other significant scenic views outside of the Priority Scenic Viewshed Corridors, as well as
other sites along the comdors but that are not herein specified. For purposes of future development, the
key aspect will be that for a site to be designated as a priority scenic viewshed it must meet the criteria
set forth in the Guidelines. In the case of sites not specified in this document, it will be the
responsibility of the landowner to prove the significant scenic viewshed value of the property using the
guidelines herein provided.
APPLYING SCENIC VIEWSHED CRITERIA AND GUIDELINES
The guidelines are designed to be applied to new development in Scandia, but may also have value to
those existing homeowners who wish to enhance their property. In new development, both individual
homebuilders and developers can take advantage of the Guidelines to site and design new houses and
buildings in such a way that they support the historic, rural nature and the natural beauty of the
community. A Conservation Design Development may earn a density bonus by using the Guidelines.
Further, abiding by the guidelines may add economic value to property, as it is Scandia's
historic/rural/natural character that is a key appeal for people deciding to live here.
I. INCENTIVES
A. Development Bonus
Developers who pursue Conservation Design Developments can use the guidelines to qualify for density
bonuses. If the area to be developed is along a designated Priority Viewshed Corridor and has been
identified as a Priority Viewshed Site, the development may qualify for up to a 25% density bonus,
provided developers show adherence to the Guidelines' criteria. The Development Code lays out the
process for applying density bonuses.
If a developer wants to apply for the 25% density bonus for a site not herein designated as a Priority
Viewshed Site, it is the responsibility of the developer to identify why the proposed development site
should be a Priority Viewshed Site according to the criteria in these Guidelines. (See Addendum VI.
Process for Scenic Analysis) Adherence to the Guidelines criteria must then be demonstrated in the
Conservation Design Development plans.
The following examples demonstrate some of the ways in which development may address the
Guidelines.
• Natural features such as rolling terrain, trees and/or tree lines, farm or historic buildings, cultural
features or ponds have been incorporated into, or highlighted by the site design.
• A plan for preserving existing trees beyond that required by existing ordinances, in order to
highlight scenic features of the viewshed, is in place.
• A plan for providing additional landscaping beyond that required by existing ordinances, in order
to highlight scenic features of the viewshed, is in place.
Draft for Review by City Council, May 15, 2012 5
� A plan for limiting building heights, beyond that required by existing ordinance, in order to
highlight scenic features of the viewshed is in place.
• Views of unique topography are being preserved.
• The horizon line has been incorporated into the site design. (as opposed, for example, to totally
blocked by the site design)
• Buildings planned reflect colors, architecture and materials that meet historic Scandia designs
including historic midwest farm design.
B. Recognition
1. Individual home builders who use the criteria to show the significant scenic viewshed quality of their
property, and the value of the planned building design and placement on the property so as to preserve
its scenic value, upon approval may be awarded one of the following incentives:
• flexibility in the application of some standards if such flexibility would help preserve scenic
views, e.g. setbacks or outbuilding design
• being recognized as a Scandia Scenic Heritage Partner for their part in preserving the scenic,
rural, historic character of Scandia. A tasteful plaque, such as are awarded for Century Farms,
may be erected on the property and/or recognition may be given at a City Council meeting.
2. Existing homeowners who wish to enhance their property to better conform to the scenic viewshed
guidelines may apply for a designation of Scandia Scenic Heritage Partner. Such a designation may be
useful for purposes of applying for grants or other monetary assistance in rural preservation.
II. REGULATION
Telecommunications companies erecting new cell phone towers will follow the existing requirements of
the Scandia Development Code.
PROCEDURE
Informal Review
It is recommended that individuals and developers request an informal meeting with the City before
beginning formal design work on their projects. This informal meeting may be with city staff,
consultants, and/or the Planning Commission as appropriate to the project. An informal plan, narrative
description of the project, rough sketches of site plan elements with special emphasis on addressing the
scenic viewshed criteria, should be provided to the City at least two weeks prior to the informal meeting.
The informal discussions will be advisory only, and will not be binding on the project proposer or the
City of Scandia.
Use of Design Professionals
Please note that these guidelines and the informal review are not intended to take the place of
professional design assistance, especially in the case of Conservation Design Development. Design
professionals have the expertise to create comprehensive plans that meet both the builder's needs and
the city's guidelines Ultimately these professionals may facilitate a smoother review process and save
the builder time and money.

Significant Scandia Scenic Viewshed Criteria
Vividness The intensity, strength or memorability of a scene, created by presence of key elements:
expansiveness,framing, variety from surface patterns and textures, a sense of direction to a focal point,
depth, and fleeting images. The more of these, usually the more scenic. Fleeting images include
seasonal color, animals, cloud displays,farm crops. Depth is measured in layers. Three or more layers
tend toward high scenic qualiry.
In Scandia, Vividness is seen to include Variety afforded by farm fields, crops grown and the texture
afforded by their differences. It also includes the Ephemeral quality of both the presence of farm
animals, and the highlighting of the historic farming nature of the site (through farm buildings, barns,
windmills).

Intactness The lack of incompatible and intrusive change from an idealized landscape. Each
view is supposed to look a certain way. This can be predominantly natural, cultural or a blend. These
ideas are set by what kind of view it is and what the natural or historical design influence intended it to
look like. At some point a scene is completely compromised or lost, or it is completely unified. Unity is
the sense of one complete composition where there are dominant images and subordinate images and
they balance to create a positive sense of rest in the scene.
In Scandia, a scene was measured for being Intact as it reflected the natural woods and lakes
landscape, the historic farm landscape, or the historic village.

Uniqueness The rarity of the view in the context of the city of Scandia. How
abundant is this kind of view? The rarer the view, the more scenic.
In Scandia, Uniqueness was also measured by valuing those aspects of the city that are valued but are in
danger of being eliminated, for example farmsteads or stretches of woods.

III. GLOSSARY
Draft for Review by City Council, May 15, 2012 20
A. General
Viewshed An area of land, water or combination that is visible to the human eye from a certain
vantage point. In city planning, viewsheds tend to be areas of particular scenic or historic value that are
deemed worthy of preservation in the process of development or other change. Viewsheds are often
spaces that can be seen from public areas such as from public roadways or public parks. The
preservation of viewsheds is often a goal in designating open space areas or green belts.
B. Types of Views
Focal A composition that draws the eye to one vanishing point on the horizon with lines in the
view (like roads, rivers, trails) that lead directly to that point.
Feature A composition that has a single, dominant focal point in the fore or middle ground of the
view (like a pond, barn or farm buildings).
Panorama A composition that at eye level, is more than 50% sky, where the majority of the view is
below the observer (like farm fields or rolling hills that stretch far to the horizon).
Detail A composition that is completely foreground, close enough to touch (like fields of
flowers, woods, or fields of corn)
Scandia
Mix A composition that is a mixture of qualities of the four other types.
C. Areas of Views
Foreground The closest area to the viewer where textures or individual plant species can be
identified by the naked eye, usually out to about '/z mile.
Middle ground The area in the middle of the view where plant types are seen as groupings and
ground form is easily distinguished, from '/2 mile to 3 miles.
Background The area farthest from the viewer, where major forms and patterns are detected, from
3 miles to the horizon.
D. Open Space Conservation Subdivision—a grouping of residential structures on smaller lots than
allowed in the specific zoning district, leaving some land dedicated as open space. Major subdivisions
where bonus lots are allowed providing for the maximum possible protection of agricultural lands,
ecologically significant areas, natural landscapes, scenic attributes, open space, and cultural features.
E. Scandia Scenic Heritage Partner—recognition available for landowners who in remodeling,
redesigning or redistributing existing buildings on their site, choose to do so in such a way as to
highlight scenic qualities, as defined herein, of the property.
Draft for Review by City Council, May 15, 2012 21
IV. SUPPORT STUDIES
1. Scandia's 2030 Comprehensive Plan.
• In the December 2007 Scandia Citizens' Visioning Survey, eight of the top ten things mentioned
most frequently as important for Scandia's future relate to maintaining the city's rural character
including: exhibit its "small town" rural character, support/preserve agriculture, preserve natural
resources, parks and trails, open space, historic character, viewscapes.
• "Scenic Roads and Viewsheds" is listed as a future land use area with scenic road construction
standards and scenic view standards to be developed. (p. 113)
• The goal to "protect scenic rural roads, viewpoints and vistas identified through the planning
process from visually intrusive or incompatible development" is set (p.136-137).
• Policies to support this include "establish(ing) viewshed protection standards that will maintain
the scenic quality of significant views throughout the City." (p.136) and "work(ing) with
landowners to develop desirable development patterns that will protect important viewsheds,
through appropriate siting of buildings and roads and screening with native vegetation and
landforms." (p. 137)
• Implementation Strategies include "modifying street standards to maintain the visual qualities of
identified scenic roads..." (p. 180) and "Consider creating a scenic overlay district that modifies
setback, screening and landscaping, and building placement for new development to ensure that
community character is maintained." (p. 180)
The Future Land Use Areas Summary Matrix (Appendix D) also describes Scenic Roads/Viewsheds. (p.
199)
2. Scenic Quality Analysis training provided initially by the National Park Service- Mississippi National
River and Recreation Area and Embrace Open Space that had been directed at the St. Paul corridor of
the Mississippi River.
• The Scandia Scenic Viewsheds Committee using the process of the Mississippi River scenic
quality analysis effort, reviewed and rated views identified in Scandia during the 2030
Comprehensive Plan development.
• The Scandia Committee determined that the views to focus on were those scenic views that
impacted most people most often. They acknowledged that these were the views that would
have the greatest impact on defining Scandia's scenic/rural/historic community character.
• Those views were identified as viewsheds along the major roadways throughout the city: Hwy
97, Hwy 95, Cty 15/Manning Avenue, Cty 3/Olinda Trail, Cty 52/Oakhill Road south of Hwy
97, Cty 1/Lofton Avenue and Mayberry Trail to the east of Lofton which was added as an
historical main road to Scandia and Marine on St. Croix. These roads were designated as
Significant Scenic Corridors.
• Committee members went through training in using the Scenic Quality Analysis Process. They
then went on the road, together and individually, conducted reviews and did detailed analyses of
the identified sites.
• Their individual scores were compiled into overall ratings for each of the sites.
• Sites were then prioritized based on their final scores.
Draft for Review by City Council, May 15, 2012 22
3. The Scenic Assessment of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, was done by the St. Croix Scenic
Coalition in collaboration with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the University of
Minnesota Department of Landscape Architecture, the Washington County Soil and Water Conservation
District, and the National Park Service
� They engaged a group of over 200 St. Croix Valley participants in identifying the scenic qualities
they most value.
• The area included five miles back from both sides of the river from Danbury to Prescott. This
area includes all of the city of Scandia.
• Their goal was to provide a scientific framework for determining aesthetic land value for
prioritization of development and resource conservation planning.
• In their report Attractiveness in the St. Croix Valley:An Analysis of Perceptual Judgment and
Landscape Dimensions published in 2006, the following most desirable scenic qualities were
identified:
1. Views containing any form of water: open water, wetlands or depressional landscapes
containing vegetation typical of moist site conditions.
2. Views with forest or woods, especially as it creates edges with adjacent open land
3. Older development (e.g. traditional farms or historic sites), although there was
ambivalence regarding agriculture in general
• Development was seen as negatively affecting attractiveness, especially when it occurred in
highly visible positions and patterns.

VI. Process for Scenic Analysis
The following guidelines will be used for sites that lie outside of the Scandia Scenic Viewshed Corridors
and whose owners wish to apply for designation as a Priority Scenic Viewshed. If a developer wishes to
be eligible for a density bonus, it will be the responsibility of the developer to show that the proposed
viewshed site demonstrates the guideline qualities and criteria herein and below, and that the proposed
development will preserve the significant scenic integrity of the site.
1) Describe the character of proposed view using industry definitions:
a) Focal
b) Feature
c) Panorama
d) Detail
e) Scandia Mix
2) RATE/ASSESS view area for amount of Scenic Integrity:
a) Determine degree of vividness
i) Expansiveness
ii) Framing
iii) Focal point
iv) Depth
v) Variety
vi) Ephemeral images
b) Determine degree of intactness
c) Determine degree of uniqueness rating for Scandia significance
