THE CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN REVISED T4 INCLUDE THE CONDITIONS RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISS[ON ON OCTOBER 2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST: The Applicants, Lonnie and Joyce Holmgren, are proposing to build a new accessory structure for use as a workshop/storage building. The Applicants request a variance from the required structure setback from the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL), and a variance from the standard that an accessory structure may not be located closer to the road than the principle building. An employee owned compony promoting affirmative oction and equol opportunity Holrngren Variance and CUP Scandia Council Page 2 October 16, 2012 The Applicants also request a Conditional Use Permit to allow a two-story accessory structure. BACKGROUND The subject property is approximately 3 acres in size, and is located at 19850 Orwell Avenue North, in the General Rural (GR) District and Shoreland Overlay District. The property is within the Shoreland Zone of Hay Lake, a Naturaf Environment Lake. There is an existing house on the property. In 1991, Washington County and New Scandia Tawnship granted a variance from the OHWL setback requirement ta allow for construction of the house. The Shoreland Ordinance requires a structure setback of 200 feet from the OHWL of a Natural Environment Lake. The proposed accessory structure would be setback 50 feet from the OHWL. The proposed accessory structure would be 125 closer to the road than the house-the accessory structure would be 85 feet from the Orwell Avenue North right-of-way, and the existing principle building is 210 feet from the right-of-way. DETAILED EVALUATiON OF TNE REQUEST: Comprehensive P/an The Comprehensive Plan indicates that the General Rural District includes areas of mixed lot sizes, and will continue to do so. Single family residential use is supported in the GR District. The plan recommends that the General Rural Area be developed at a maximum density of four dwelling units per 40 acres, with a minimum allowed lot size of 2 acres. The Comprehensive Plan also notes the existence of many smaller lots in areas of existing lakeshore development within the GR District, and that this pattern will continue in the areas of existing deveiopment around Scandia's iakes. - _ __ -- — - - __ _____ T�e proposed res�en�iaTuse is consis�ent witn the Compre�ensivePlan recorrimen afians o"r- uses and densities in the GR District. Lot Size The area of the lot above#he OHWL is 134,569 square feet or approximately 3.089 acres. The lot meets the minimum lot size of 2.0 acres reauired in the General Rural District and the minimum lot size reauirement in the Shoreland Overlav District. Setbacks The setback requirements in the Shoreland Overlay District of Natural Environment Laices include structure setbacks of 200 feet from the OHWL. The requirements for the General Rural District include a 50 foot rear yard setback. The proposed accessory structure meets the setback requirements of the General Rural District but does not meet the 200 foot OHWL setback The Applicants propose a setback of 50 feet from the OHWL and for this, a variance is requested. Maximum Lof Coverage , , .� 7 'i Holmgren Variance and CUP Scandia Council Page 3 October 16, 2012 The maximum allowable lot coverage in the GR District and in the Shoreland District is 25%. The application includes an analysis of lot coverage and shows that the lot coverage, including the proposed accessory structure, would be 9.6% of the lot area above the OHW. The proposed accessorv structure meets the lot coverage standard. Accessory Structures Section 3.3.2 of the Zoning Ordinance addresses Accessory Structures. A 3 acre parcel in the GR District is permitted up to two accessory structures with a total area of 2,000 square feet. The footprint of the proposed accessory structure is 1,296 square feet. The Applicants are working to develop the building plans, but expect the second level will be between 432 and 704 square feet. Therefore, the maximum total floor area of the building is estimated to be 2,000 square feet. There are no other accessory structures on the property. The re4uest meets the accessorv structure size and number requirements of the flrdinance. The Zoning Ordinance requires that no accessory structure may be closer to the road than the principle building without the granting of a variance. The Applicants seek a variance to allow the accessory structure to be approximately 85 feet from the riqht-of-way, while the principle structure is 210 feet from the right-of-way. Building Height The maximum building height permitted in the General Rural District is 35 feet. The City defines building height for gable raofs as "the vertical distance from the average of the highest and lowest point of the grade for that portion of the lot covered by the building to the mean height between eaves and ridge." Based on the definition, the height of the praposed s#ructure is 20.5 feet. The buildinq meets the heipht requirements in the zoninq ordinance. Wastewater System No new wastewater systems are proposed. The existing onsite wastewater treatment system is located to the north of the house and south of the driveway, making this area unavailable for the proposed accessory structure. Stormwater Management and Land Alteration No grading plan was included in the application. The Applicants will need to meet the requirements of the Carnelian-Marine Watershed District and the City's zoning and subdivision ordinance for stormwater management and land alteratian. The Applicants will need to include a grading and erosion control plan in the application for a Building Permit. The Planner suggests that the grading and erosion control plan be required to include the following practices to manage the additional runoff that will be generated by the new impervious surfaces on the site: • The Applicants shall maintain existing trees on the site and protect the trees during construction. Maintenance of existing trees will help screen the new structure as viewed from the Iake and#he road. • The stormwater runoff from the accessory structure shall be directed to adjacent vegetated areas. All new stormwater runoff shall be infiltrated within the site. 1 , Holmgren Variance and CUP Scandia Council Page 4 October 16, 2012 Landscape Plan No new landscaping is proposed or required. Agency Commenfs The Planner provided a copy of the application and plans to the Minnesota DNR and the Carnelian-Marine-St Croix Watershed District (CMSCWD). The DNR had no comments an the request. If comments are received from the CMSCWD, the Planner will present the comments at the Planning Commission meeting. DETAIL.ED D1SCU5SIQN OF THE VARIANCE REQUEST Ordinance 129 states that variances are allowed when the strict enforcement of the Development Code would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration. The criteria for granting a variance include the following: • The applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the Development Code. • The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property, not created by the landowner. • The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. • The practical difficulties are not due soiely to economic conditions. • The proposed variance will n�t impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties, substantially increase the congestion of public streets, or increase the danger of fire or endanger public safety, or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. _- ---- -_._---Th��the rec�uested_v�rian�e i�_�h�minim�mactiQn_r�c��ir�d_�Q�limin�_fh�_Fr.a�ti��l---__ _----- --------_--- - ___---_ difficulty. • Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. The Applicants request a variance from the OHWL structure setback requirement of 200 feet, and a variance from the s#andard that an accessory structure may not be loca#ed closer to the road than the principle building. The Applicants indicate that due to the location of the septic system, there is no location on the parcel that can meet these standards. The Planner confirms that due to shoreland and yard setback requirements, any available buiiding site would require a variance. FINDINGS—VARIANCE REQUEST The folfowing bullets present the Planner's findings related to the request for a variance, based on the statutory criteria for granting a variance. Each of the criteria is shown in italres: • Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intenf of the o�cial control. The proposed residential use is consisten#with the Comprehensive Plan's goals and policies for maintain residential uses in the General Rural District and Shoreland Zone. 1 . _� Holmgren Variance and CUP Scandia Council Page 5 October 16, 2012 • The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner under the conditions allowed by o�cial control{s). Single Family Residences are permitted uses in the General Rural District, and accessory structures are permitted, subject to the other requirements of the development code. For a parcel af this size, the ordinance permits up to two accessory structures with a total area of 2,040 square feet. There are currently no accessory structures on the property. The City has previously granted variances to permit accessory structures because they are considered a reasonabte and necessary use for a residentiaf property. • The practical diffrculties are not caused by fhe landowner, and are unique to the property. The practical clifficulties relate to the fact that there is no land area where all setback requirements can be met, except where the existing septic system is located. There is no feasible place to relocate this required system. Because of the location of the existing house and slope down to the lake, there is no alternative site for the accessory structure where it would be farther from the road than the house. • The variance would not alter the essentia!characfer of the area. The surrounding area is deve(oped with residential uses on a variety of lat sizes. Most have accessory structures. The variance would not alter the essential character of the area. • Economic conditions aJone shall not constitute pracfical di�culfies. The practical difficulties are related to the lack of an alternative locatian for the accessory structure. • The proposed variance wil!not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properfies, substantially increase the congestion of public streets, or increase the danger of__fire_or endan�lc er�ublic safe��_or substantially diminish_or impair p_ro�e►t�values within._ ____ ------- ---- -— - _ -- ---_ __- the neighborhood. The structure is unlikely to impair the supply of light and air to adjacent properties, increase congestion, increase the danger of fire, endanger public safety, or substantially impair property values. � That the requested variance is fhe minimum action required to eliminate the practical difficulfy. Due to the topography and location of the driveway, house and septic system, the proposed accessory structure location cannot be further distanced from the OHW or the road. The proposed accessory structure maintains the same setback from the property's western lakeshore. The proposed location seeks a balance between the effects vn the view from the road and the view from the lake. • Practical drfficulties include, but are not limifed to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy sysfems. The proposed accessory structure will no# affect direct solar access for surrounding properties. ,�;,, : I 1 .'' Holmgren Variance and CUP Scandia Council Page 6 October 16, 2012 CONDfT10NAL USE PERMIT CRITERIA AND FINDINGS The Development Code, Chapter 2, Item 3.2 (3) requires that"AI[ accessory structures, except agricultural buildings such as bams or silos on parcels of 20 acres or larger in size, shall be limited to one story in height except by approval of a Conditional Use Permit." The general criteria for granting a Conditionai Use Permit {CUP) include the following: • The conditional use will be in compliance with and not have a nega#ive effect upon fihe Comprehensive Plan, including public facilities and capital improvement plans. . The use will promote or enhance public welfare, and will not be detrimentaf to or endanger public health, safety, morals or comfort. • The use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity, diminish and impair property values or scenic views. • The use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. • Adequate public facilities are available to accommodate the use. • The use shall conform to the applicabie regulations of the district in which it is located. • The use shall comp{y with the general and specific performance standards in the Development Code. The Planner finds that if the variance is granted to build the accessory structure, the request for the Conditional Use Permit complies with the criteria above. The Planner notes that the two- story structure helps to minimize the foot print of the accessory structure by utilizing two levels to meet the Applicants' desire for workshop and storage spac�. The Planner also notes that the pitch of the roof, door detail, and windows are designed to make the structure look like a barn in an effort to be in keeping with Scandia's rural character. The CUP will permit a maximum structure size of 2,000 square feet, inc[uding the area on the first and second floors of the proposed structure. ------ ---------_ _---. ------ -— - -——- ISSUES RAISED AT SEPTEMBER 4 PLANNING COMMISSI�N MEETfNG AND ADDITIONAL iNFORMATION FOR OCTOBER 2 MEETING Two neighboring property owners raised questions about the application at the public hearing held during the September 4 Planning Commission meeting. The questions included the following: • How tall is the proposed building? Will it be visible from their properties? • Should screening be provided to protect views? • Did the Carnelian-Marine St. Croix Watershed District have any comments? The application was tabled on September 4 to allow the applicants to provide additionai information to#he City, and to schedule a site visit by the Planning Commission before the October 2 meeting. The applicant provided the photo attached, which shows that the height of the proposed accessory structure is approximately 10 feet lower than the height of the existing home on the property. The information provided by the applicants and the aerial photo attached indicate that there is a generous amount of existing screening around the property. ''�'i 1 �;� Holmgren Variance and CUP Scandia Council Page 7 �ctober 16, 2012 The Planning Commission will complete a site visit before the meeting on October 2. The Commission should review the visibility of the existing home from surrounding areas, and assess whether the new structure is likely#o be visible or if screening should be required. The Carnelian-Marine Watershed District provided its comments in a letter dated September 7, attached. The District does not object to granting fhe variance request. The comments note that the applicants wiA need to obtain a District Permit and maintain the reguired vegetative buffer. ACTION REQUESTED: The Planning Cornmission should discuss the Variance and CUP request, and can recommend the following: 1. Approval 2. Approval with conditions 3. Denial with findings 4. Table the request PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: The Planner approval of the proposed variance from the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) structure setback to allow a n OHW setback of 50 feet, and a variance from the standard that an accessory structure may not be located closer to the road than the principle building, and approve the proposed Conditional Use Permit for a two-story structure up to 2,000 square feet in area, lacated at 19850 Orwell Avenue North. The Planner recommends the following conditions for the variance and conditional use permit: 1. The development on the property shall be in substantial compliance with the site plan submitted to the City on August 10, 2012. The variance and CUP allow construction of an accessory structure 36 feet by 36 feet, two stories, with a total floor area of 2,000 __ - - _ _---------squa�e eet.-------- - __ --._.. _ __._.._ ----- 2. The applicant shall replace the trees that will be removed to construct the garage with coniferous trees to provide screening from the view from adjacent properties. New trees should be added to the northeast and southeast of the garage to screen the view from the homes on adjacent properties. The applicant shall submit a sketch plan show the number and location of the proposed trees for approval by the City Planner. 3. The Applicants shall obtain a Building Permit from the City prior to construction of the garage. The grading and erosion control plan required for the building permit shall include the following practices: A. The Applicants shall maintain existing trees on the site and protect the trees during construction. B. The stormwater runoff from the accessory structure shall be directed to adjacent vegetated areas. All new stormwater runoff shall be infiltrated within the site. 4.

CITY OF SCANDIA, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 10-16-21-03 APPROVING VARIANCES AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR 19850 ORWELL AVENUE NORTH WHEREAS, Lonnie and Joyce Holmgren have made an application to build a new accessory structure at 19850 Orwell Avenue North, and requested a variance from the zoning and subdivision standards that require that accessory structures be located no closer to the road right-of-way than the principle building on the lot; and a variance from the required 200 foot structure setback from the Ordinary High Water Leve] (OHWL) of Hay Lake, and WHEREAS,the property is legally described as follows: Lot Eleven (11), Block Two (2), Merrywood Second Addition; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the request at a duly noticed Public Hearing on September 4, 2012, and has recommended approval; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCANDIA, WASHINGTON COLTNTY, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the variances and conditional use permit to allow construction of a detached garage that will be constructed closer to the right-of-way than the principle building, and within the OHWL setback,based on the following findings: 1. Granting the requested variance is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan goals and policies for maintaining residential uses in the General Rural District and Shoreland Zone. 2. The property owner is proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner under the conditions allowed by the Zoning Ordinance. 3. The practical difficulties were not created by the landowner, and include the following: Resolution No.: 10-16-12-03 Page 2 of 3 a. There is no land area where all setback requirements can be met, except where the existing septic system is located. There is no feasible place to relocate this required system. b. Because of the location of the existing house and slope down to the lake, there is no alternative site for the accessory structure where it would be farther from the road than the house. 4. The proposed use is consistent with the essential character of the surrounding General Rural District and neighborhood. 5. The request is related to the topography and location of the existing driveway, house and septic system and resulting lack of an alternative location for an accessary structure , and is not based on economic conditions. The proposed accessory structure maintains the same setback from the property's western lakeshore. The proposed location seeks a balance between the effects on the view from the road and the view from the lake. 6. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties, substantially increase the congestion of public streets, increase the danger of fire or endanger public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values in the neighborhood. 7. The requested variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the practical difficulties. FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED, that the following conditions of approval shall be met: 1. The development on the property shall be in substantial compliance with the site plan submitted to the City on August 10, 2012. The variance and CUP allow construction of an accessory structure 36 feet by 36 feet, two stories,with a total floor area of 2,000 square feet. 2. The applicant shall replace the trees that will be removed to construct the garage with coniferous trees to provide screening from the view from adjacent properties. New trees should be added to the northeast and southeast of the garage to screen the view from the homes on adjacent properties. The applicant shall submit a sketch plan show the number and location of the proposed trees for approval by the City Planner. 3. The Applicants shall obtain a Building Permit from the City prior to construction of the garage. The grading and erosion control plan required for the building permit shall include the following practices: A. The Applicants shall maintain existing trees on the site and protect the trees during construction. B. The stormwater runoff from the accessory structure shall be directed to adjacent vegetated areas. All new stormwater runoff shall be infiltrated within the site. Resolution No.: 10-16-12-03 Page 3 of 3 4. The Applicants shall obtain the required Watershed District permit for storm water management and erosion control. 5. The Applicants shall pay all fees and escrows. Adopted by the Scandia City Council this 16th day of October, 2012. Randall Simonson, Mayor ATTEST: Kristina Handt, Administrator/Clerk
