Hofer, Consultant City Planner Frannie Nielsen, Consultant Planner Re: Conditional Use Permit for Additional Accessory Structure Square Footage Applicant: Lisa and Lora McKinley Zoning: Rural Residential General (RR-G) Owner: Lisa and Lora McKinley Future Land Use: General Rural Location: 15455 240th St N PID 0103220230003 Review Deadline October 18, 2025 The applicant is requesting approval for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for up to an additional 25% total accessory square footage. The staff report to the Planning Commission from the September 2, 2025, meeting is attached and includes the full background of the request, as well as an evaluation of the request, and an analysis based on the standards in the Unified Development Code EVALUATION OF REQUEST Proposed Conditions The applicant is proposing to construct a single-family dwelling with five accessory structures. Two of the accessory structures are attached and three detached accessory structures are proposed to be built in front of the dwelling. Staff notes that the scale on the building plans for the principal structure appears to be inaccurate based on the measurements shown on the plans. This does not impact the conditional use permit (CUP) application. The proposed total square footage of accessory structures on the site is 7,338 sq. ft. where 5,000 sq. ft. is allowed. The UDC allows for one structure and 2 | P a g e 1,200 sq. ft. of that structure to be excepted (not count) towards the total on the site. With the exception, the proposed total square footage is 6,138 sq. ft., where up to 6,250 sq. ft. (5,000 sq. ft. base, 1,250 sq. ft. additional 25%) may be allowed through a CUP, provided all other standards of the district are met. Some standards such as the height of the accessory strucutres has not been provided. Where this information has not been provided future strucutres must be consistent with the standards in the UDC. ANALYSIS Planning Commission The request was heard at the September 9, 2025, meeting of the Planning Commission. A public hearing was held and two comments were received. Comments were related to exterior lighting on the site and allowable accessory structure size. The Planning Commission then closed the pubic hearing. The Planning Commission discussed the proposed use of the accessory structures and asked for clarifications related to exterior lighting. Staff noted any exterior lighting would need to meet the requirements within the UDC, which generally regulate shielding of light fixtures and intensity of lighting. The Planning Commission moved to recommend approval of the request. The motion was approved with a vote of 5-0. Review Comments The submittal was sent to city staff and other regulatory agencies for review and comment. The comments received have been incorporated into the staff report and resolution. Staff Analysis Staff finds that the proposed plan is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and UDC. The proposed dwelling, accessory structures, and site plan 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 has reviewed the plan for consistency with the standards outlined for Conditional Use Permits and believes the request meets or exceeds UDC criteria. COUNCIL ACTION The City Council can do one of the following: 1. Approve, with or without conditions, of the attached resolution. 2. Deny, with findings, of the attached resolution. 3.

Hofer, Consultant City Planner Re: Conditional Use Permit for Additional Accessory Structure Square Footage Applicant: Lisa and Lora McKinley Zoning: Rural Residential General (RR-G) Owner: Lisa and Lora McKinley Future Land Use: General Rural Location: 15455 240th St N PID 0103220230003 Review Deadline October 18, 2025 The applicant is requesting approval for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for an additional 25% total accessory square footage. BACKGROUND The existing site consists of one parcel zoned Rural Residential General (RR-G). The parcel is currently guided General Rural on the 2040 Future Land Use map. Neighboring parcels are also zoned RR-G. The subject parcel was recently included in a lot line adjustment with the parcel located to the northeast. The parcel was also recently acquired by the applicants. The lot line adjustment can be seen in the attached exhibit, but online mapping tools have not yet been updated to show the lot 2 | P a g e line adjustment or change in ownership. The existing site is currently vacant, but the applicant intends to build a single-family dwelling with two attached garages and three detached accessory structures. EVALUATION OF REQUEST Proposed Conditions The applicant is proposing to construct an approximately 8,504.09 sq. ft. single-family dwelling with five accessory structures. Two of the accessory structures are attached and three accessory structures are proposed to be built in front of the dwelling. Staff wants to note that the scale on the building plans appears to be inaccurate based on the measurements shown on the page. This does not impact the CUP application. The parcel is approximately 17.5 acres allowing three accessory structures and 5,000 square feet of accessory structures outright. The applicant is proposing a total of 7,338 square feet between five proposed accessory structures. Proposed accessory structure calculations are as follows: Building Length Width Sq. Ft. Number of Structures Detached Garage (excepted) 60 40 2,400 1 Livestock 40 40 1,600 1 Livestock 40 40 1,600 1 Attached Garage East 24 38.5 869 1 Attached Garage West 24 36 869 1 Total 7,338 5 Exception 1,200 1 Net Total 6,138 4 CUP Maximum 6,250 4 A residential garage, either attached or detached, is an accessory structure per the standards established in the Unified Development Code (UDC). The UDC allows for exceptions to the number of accessory structures and 1,200 sq. ft. of an accessory structure that acts as a garage. One residential garage shall not be counted towards the number of structures or total square footage of residential accessory structures up to 1,200 sq. ft. In order for the proposed site plan to work, this exception must be applied to the 2,400 sq. ft. detached garage resulting in 1,200 square feet being applied to the total accessory structure square footage and a total of four applicable accessory structures, two attached garages and two livestock buildings. The UDC does not establish which garage must be given the exception, but if it is applied to the attached garages, the proposed accessory structure square footage exceeds what can be allowed through the 25% additional square footage. A CUP may grant up to one additional structure and additional square footage up to no more than 25% of the total square footage permitted by parcel size. The granting of a CUP and application of the number and square footage exemption, the site would be allowed to have a total of four accessory structures and up to a maximum total accessory structure square footage of 6,250 sq. ft. 3 | P a g e Per Subd. 6. (A) I., a detached accessory structure may be allowed in front of a principal structure, given the accessory structure is located on a lot of five acres or more and is placed at least 200 ft. from the road right-of-way. The accessory structures are a minimum of 250 ft. from the northern road right-of-way. Approval of the structures location is done through an administrative permit, but the standards have been included in this report for context. Conditional 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. The standards are listed below in italics, followed by the staff’s findings: 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. Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan include encouraging respecting the rural character and for residential buildings to be designed to meet the needs of current and future owners. The additional accessory structure and square footage is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and has no impact on public facilities or capital improvement plans. 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 proposed use is permitted within this zoning district through a conditional use permit. The proposed 25% additional accessory structure and additional square footage is allowed by the Unified Development code. The additional accessory structure will not negatively impact this use or the general public welfare, and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, or comfort. Reasonable conditions of approval can be added if the City Council finds issues with the proposed use. 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 accessory structure 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.

The proposed use will not impede 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. The proposed use will utilize a new access requested from 240th Street as part of the building permit for the principal structure. The proposed uses will be serviced by private 4 | P a g e septic and does not require an extension of city-owned public facilities. The applicant has also proposed rain gardens to manage stormwater and will be required to receive and be in compliance with a permit from the Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District. 6.

Site Plan Review Lot Standards The relevant dimension standards of the subject property are detailed below: RR-G Proposed Conditions Minimum Lot Size (ac.) 2 17.5 Lot Frontage (ft.) 300 335.98 Principal and Accessory Structure Setbacks (ft.) Front 100 261.70 Side 20 28.44 Rear 50 >447 Maximum Lot Coverage 25% 4.4% Principal Building Height (ft.) 35 31 Accessory Building Height (ft.) Principal structure height Height not provided The proposed development is generally consistent with the dimensional standards of the RR-G district. Building height for the accessory structures has not been provided and must be consistent with the standards for the RR-G zoning district. The total impervious surface coverage on the site is 32,996 sq. ft., representing a total lot coverage of 4.4%. Wetlands are present on the south side of site. The Washington Conservation District identified the wetlands as a Preserve Wetland, which requires a 100 ft. setback. Additionally, accessory structures meant for livestock must be setback 200 ft. from wetlands. All principal and accessory structures are proposed to meet the setbacks established for the RR-G district in the UDC. Utilities The proposed use will be served by private septic and well systems. 5 | P a g e Stormwater management is proposed through the use of two raingardens. The raingardens will be maintained privately. The raingardens will utilize drainage easements located on the property, and will be required to receive and be in compliance with a permit from the Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District. Streets, Access, and Parking The parcel will be accessed from 240th Street N. The applicant’s site plan shows a proposed 19,629 sq. ft. driveway and turnaround utilizing an existing gravel access for the site. The driveway is approximately 399.19 ft. long and the turnaround near the home meets the standards recently adopted to meet the requirements of the Fire Chief and emergency services. Parking is required to be provided at a rate of two spaces per single family dwelling. The dwelling is proposed to have two attached three stall garages.

Accessory structures located in front of the principal structure’s primary façade, or if visible from the public right -of-way, must be designed to be consistent and compatible with the principal structure. This standard shall apply to single-family detached residences if the accessory structure is visible from the public right-of- way. Design must include a compatible architectural design, and the same or similar material and color palette as that of the principal structure. The principal structure is proposed to be traditional siding and is a similar material and style to surrounding properties. The applicants have not submitted the materials for the accessory structures. A condition of approval is included for the accessory structures to meet the standards within the UDC, including that the accessory structures be compatible with the aesthetic of the principal structure in architectural style, material, and color pursuant to 153.400.040 Subd. 1 (B) II. b.
