No.: 14059.008 From: Berry Farrington, AICP Routing: Sherri Buss Date: July 29, 2008 SUBJECT: Request for an Amended Conditional Use Permit (CUP) MEETING DATE: August 5, 2008 LOCATION: 14808 Oakhill Road North Scandia, Minnesota 55073 APPLICANT: Scot and Courtney Taylor ZONING: Retail Business (RB)/Single Family Estate (SFE) 60-DAY PERIOD ENDS: September 8, 2008 ITEMS REVIEWED: Application Previous CUP documents and meeting minutes BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST: The Applicants request an Amendment to the existing Conditional Use Permit for Meister's Bar and Grill at 14808 Oakhill Road North. The request is to include a volleyball court/boot hockey rink on the site, located to the east of the bar/restaurant structure. The front of the subject property is in the Retail Business (RB) District and the rear is in the Single Family Estates (SFE) District. The business is on a single parcel consisting of 2.2 acres. The Applicant also owns the adjacent parcel to the south, approximately 6,000 square feet in size, on which there was a small storage building that recently burned down. The Meister's CUP does not include the second parcel of approximately 6,000 square feet. If plans are made to expand the business onto this second parcel, the CUP Amendment process must be followed, The Applicant has indicated that at this time, plans have not been made for this second parcel. An Employee Owned Company Promoting Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Meister's Amended CUP Request Page 2 July 29, 2008 City of Scandia BACKGROUND Meister's has been in business since 1959. A Conditional Use Peiinit was granted to Julie Ruddy and Jarad Brunfelt in December 2001, an On-Sale Liquor License was approved in May 2006, and the CUP was reviewed in October 2006. The conditions of the 2001 CUP were: meet all county inspector requirements, provide proof of license, works compensation insurance and designate a full-time certified food manager. For CUP amendments, City staff have been including the peiinit conditions for the existing operation as well as for the amendment request in the resolution for Council action. This is so that the City has all conditions recorded and in one place. In Meister's case, the documented conditions do not address many of the standard considerations that are part of a CUP. Therefore, in addition to the request regarding the new court/rink, the Planner has reviewed the typical considerations for a commercial/retail CUP. The purpose of reviewing these items is to have CUP conditions that meet the Ordinance and allow for Meister's ongoing operation. EVALUATION OF THE REQUEST: The Development Code states in Chapter 1, Section 7.3, the following criteria for granting a Conditional Use Peiinit that are relevant to this application. The Planning Commission may recommend to the Town Board a conditional use permit in any district, provided the proposed use is listed as a conditional use for the district and upon a showing that the standards and criteria stated in this Development Code will be satisfied and that the use is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this Development Code and the Comprehensive Plan. In determining whether the proposed use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this Development Code and the Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Commission shall consider: • The impact of the proposed use on the health, safety and general welfare of the occupants of the surrounding lands. • Existing and anticipated traffic conditions, including parking facilities on adjacent streets and lands. • The effect of the proposed use on utility and school capacities. • The effect of the proposed use on property values and scenic views in the surrounding area. • The effect of the proposed use on the Comprehensive Plan. • The ability of the proposed use to meet the standards of the Development Code. • The effects of the proposed use on groundwater, surface water and air quality. • That the proposed use is allowed with a conditional use permit in the designated zoning district in which it is proposed. Chapter 1, Section 7.10 of the Zoning Ordinance regulates Amended CUPs. Amended CUPs are requests for changes in conditions of the existing permit and are administered similar to a new CUP. Based on these criteria, the Planner has evaluated the request for an Amended Conditional Use Permit for Meister's Bar and Grill, and has the following comments. • Meister's Amended CUP Request Page 3 July 29, 2008 City of Scandia Permitted Use The front portion of the property, where Meister's operates, is in the Retail Business District. Bars/Taverns and Restaurants are permitted uses in the Retail Business District with a Conditional Use Permit. The existing CUP states that the restaurant has a design capacity of 120. Meister's has outdoor seating at five tables. Lot Requirements The RB District lot requirements are: lot size of 2.5 acres, minimum frontage of 160 acres, maximum lot coverage of 65%, front setback the greater of 100 feet from centerline/50 feet from right of way, side yard setback of 20 feet, and rear yard setback of 50 feet. The lot is nonconforming in terms of lot size, frontage, and setbacks. The court/rink increases the lot coverage, but will not cause the property to approach the 65% lot coverage maximum. Hours of Operation The City may set hours of operation as a condition of the permit, in order to address the health, safety and general welfare of the occupants of the surrounding land. The Meister's webpage lists the following hours of operation: Monday - Wednesday 11 :00 am - 12:00 am Thursday - Friday 11:00 am - 1:00 am Saturday 9:00 am - 1 :00 am Sunday 9:00 am - 12:00 pm The Application states that use of the volleyball court/rink will be Tuesday evenings, 6 to 9 PM. Screening and Landscaping Section 9.12 of the Zoning Regulations addresses screening and landscaping. All open areas not used for parking, drives or storage must be landscaped with a combination of over-story trees, under-story trees, coniferous trees, shrubs, flowers, and ground cover. Section 9.12 includes screening requirements to buffer residential uses from commercial uses. The area surrounding the court/rink is grass. Existing trees screen the court/rink area from the neighboring properties. There is a small area of open ground where it was disturbed through construction of the court/rink. The Applicant has indicated that grass will be replanted in the disturbed area around the court/rink. The Planner does not recommend any additional landscaping, other than the replanting of the disturbed grass area. Parking Section 9.10 regulates parking. Restaurants and Bars/Taverns are required to provide one (1) space for each two and one-half(2-1/2) seats, based on capacity design. The information from the existing CUP indicates that Meister's capacity is 120. This would require 48 off-street parking spaces to be provided. The Zoning Regulations allow for the number of parking spaces to be reduced based on a parking analysis, Meister's Amended CUP Request Page 4 July 29, 2008 City of Scandia The number of existing parking spaces does not conform to the Ordinance standards. The Planner estimates there are less than 20 parking spaces on the subject property. The requested CUP amendment does not increase the seating capacity of the restaurant/bar and therefore no changes in parking lot capacity are recommended. If in the future there is a CUP Amendment request to expand seating capacity, the Planner recommends that a parking analysis be completed. The parking lot design does not conform to Ordinance standards. In order to provide accessible parking and to facilitate efficient use of the existing available parking area, the Planner recommends that the parking lot be striped and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible parking be marked. Traffic Control Chapter 2, Section 9.1 (15). The traffic generated by any use shall be controlled so as to prevent congestion of the public streets, traffic hazards and excessive traffic through residential areas, particularly truck traffic. Internal traffic shall be regulated so as to ensure safe and orderly flow. Traffic into and out of business and industrial areas in all cases shall be forward moving with no backing into streets. Exterior Storage Chapter 2, Section 9.4(4) regulates exterior storage in non-residential areas. In the RB and GB Districts, exterior storage of useable personal property may be permitted by Conditional Use Peimit. There is no existing exterior storage, and none is proposed as part of the CUP amendment. Outdoor Lighting Lighting standards are outlined in Chapter 2, Section 9.8. The outdoor lighting requirements address shielding, intensity, height, location, and hours. Recreational lighting is allowed with a Conditional Use Peiiiiit. There is existing outdoor lighting on the primary structure. The Ordinance requires that outdoor lighting, except for security lighting, must be turned off within one hour after business closing. New outdoor lighting is proposed to illuminate the court/rink. The new lighting must conform to Ordinance standards. The Applicant proposes to install four halogen lights on poles located at the corners of the court/rink, 16 feet in height. Before the court/rink lighting is installed, a lighting plan must be submitted to show that the lighting will meet Ordinance standards. The Ordinance requires that lights be shielded to cut off light at an angle of 90 degrees or less, that light may not exceed one foot candle meter reading as measured from the street centerline nor .4 foot candles at the property line, and that lighting not exceed 25 feet in height. The Planner recommends that the hours of court/rink lighting be limited to the same hours as the court/rink's use, which is proposed for 6 to 9 PM. The Planner recommends that a sign be installed at the court/rink stating the allowed hours, and stating that lights must be out at 9 PM. For the purpose of public safety, the Planner recommends that the Applicant detelmine if an electrical permit is required from the State for the proposed court/rink lighting improvements. • • Meister's Amended CUP Request Page 5 July 29, 2008 City of Scandia Events Meister's hosts events from time to time. The CUP Amendment application lists Taco Daze, Golf Tournament, Volleyball, and Boot Hockey. Activities at events are listed as foot races, relays, scavenger hunts, vendors, live music, outdoor events, portable toilets, outdoor bars and grills, hammer game, bean bags, fireman water ball, dunk tanks. Proposed hours for outdoor music are until 11 PM. The City may set parameters on events, such as hours, number of attendees, parking, traffic control, temporary lighting, waste management, noise, temporary signage, or other potential impacts on health, safety, and general welfare. The Planner recommends that Meister's provide the City with an annual list of events and description of the events to address the above factors. Comprehensive Plan The adopted Comprehensive Plan envisions the village center as the social and economic focal point of community life. Meister's Bar and Grill contributes to achievement of this vision as it is a long-time business place and a community gathering place located in the village center.

Keep in mind the vast majority of the surrounding property is residential. 2) The court is to be closed from 9PM till 9AM. Again this is a residential area, kids are in bed, people are in for the night and the neighborhood ought to be quiet. The business can still provide patrons plenty of services inside the building where the noise is contained. 3) If the court brings additional patrons, the business needs to provide off-street parking. Having Oakhill road traffic blocked by cars parking on both sides of the street in front of the business is bad enough, but bar patrons walking through a residential neighborhood is not acceptable. The council needs to conceder how this project will impact not just the business but the entire neighborhood.
