7.b i Discussion on Resolution 03-19-19-02 approving a variance from shoreland and wetland setbacks for the construction of a driveway at 11285 218th St. Memorandum To: Scandia City Council Reference: Jensen Variance Request 11245 218th Street North Copies To: Neil Soltis, City Administrator Project No.: 17122.000 (Jensen) Brenda Ecklund, City Clerk Routing: Brent Jensen, applicant From: Merritt Clapp-Smith, Planner Date: March 11, 2019 SUBJECT: Request for Variances from setbacks to a wetland and the Ordinary High Water Level of German Lake for installation of a driveway. MEETING DATE: March 19, 2019 LOCATION: 11245 218th Street North, (PID 18.032.20.14.0003) APPLICANT: Brent Jensen 16231 Hanson Blvd Andover, MN 55304 OWNER: Brent and Joellen Jensen 16231 Hanson Blvd Andover, MN 55304 ZONING: General Rural (GR) District and Shoreland Overlay District 60-DAY PERIOD: March 23, 2019 ITEMS REVIEWED: Complete application, plans, and supplemental information received January 22, 2019. Jensen Variance Request Submitted: March 13, 2019 Scandia City Council Page 2 City Council Meeting: March 19, 2019 PROPERTY INFORMATION Parcel description: 11245 218th Street North is a 19.1 acre lot that includes part of German Lake. County property records indicate that 11.6 acres of the lot are in the Wetland Program. Zoning: The parcel is located in the General Rural (GR) District and the Shoreland Overlay District of German Lake, classified as a “Natural Environment” lake. Land use: The property has no structures on it. Natural Features and Conditions: The topography of the property is heavily sloped and narrows to a peninsula in German Lake at the south end. A ‘Manage 1’ wetland sits at the northwest corner of the property. The property is heavily wooded. A gravel driving path runs south about a 1/3 of the way into the property from 218th St N. A relatively flat building site sits at the center of the parcel and is accessible by passing along an approximately 170 foot wide strip of land that sits between the Ordinary High Water Level of German Lake and the edge of the wetland, or along an approximately 20 foot wide strip of land that sits between the property line and the edge of a wetland. Aerial and property survey for 11245 218th Street North. Jensen Variance Request Submitted: March 13, 2019 Scandia City Council Page 3 City Council Meeting: March 19, 2019 DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST Setback variances for a driveway from the OHWL of German Lake and from a wetland.  Required OHWL setback from German Lake is 200 feet; Proposed is approximately 145 feet  Required setback from the Manage 1 wetland is 75 feet; Proposed is approximately 10 feet The applicant is proposing to run a driveway to a future building pad on the property. An existing, partial driveway runs much closer to German Lake than the proposed driveway. The proposed driveway would sit further back from the lake and follows an alignment designed to minimize tree cutting, grading and fill. At the location where the driveway would run closest to the wetland, a 24 inch by 30 foot culvert is proposed to run under the driveway, to allow water runoff to flow between the high point in the area and the wetland, without erosion impacts. PLANNING COMMISSION DISCUSSION At the public hearing, Scandia resident John Lindell spoke in opposition to the variance. He cited a number of concerns, the foremost noted below, with related discussion from the meeting. 1. Concern - DNR and watershed staff were not consulted on the case. Discussion at meeting – DNR and watershed staff comments were solicited and were noted in the Planning Commission staff report . In addition, the Planning Commission packet for the variance item included the full watershed permit and comments. 2. Concern - The addition of a driveway would cause pollution into the wetland and lake. Discussion at meeting – The Planning Commission asked what type of pollution was a concern, and Mr. Lindell referred to auto related pollution. The Planning Commission noted that residential development and driveways are an allowed use near waterbodies in the City and that this case did not seem to be dist inctly different. 3. Concern - An alternative location for the driveway access and route were not considered, even though an option perceived as less impactful exists by creating a driveway entrance off 218th on the northwestern corner of the site and running along the Xcel powerline easement. Jensen Variance Request Submitted: March 13, 2019 Scandia City Council Page 4 City Council Meeting: March 19, 2019 Discussion at meeting – The alternative location was discussed for some time. It was noted that an existing wetland sits in the northwest corner of the site, with only a narrow strip between the wetland edge and the property line. Two Commissioners who had toured the site recently looked at that area of the property and said that it appeared to them that some filling of the wetland would be required to install a driveway entrance there. Filling part of a wetland was considered to be a greater environmental impact than the proposed driveway location with a wetland setback. The Planning Commission also discussed watershed permit recommendation #5, to realign the proposed driveway 75 feet east of the delineated wetland boundary, instead of the proposed 10 feet east. In light of this, the Planning Commission suggested that any variance approval be conditioned on the driveway location being adjusted to comply with recommendations of the watershed district, with final alignment to be approved by the watershed and the City engineer prior to construction. [This is noted as condition #1 at the end of this report.] The property includes an Xcel powerline easement running from northwest to southeast across the site. The Planning Commission and city staff were not certain what land use limitations might be placed on the property in relation to the easement, but felt it was prudent for this to be identified and considered in relation to any permits issued by the city to the prope rty. The question was raised if it was wise for the City to issue a driveway permit prior to an application for a residential structure, since the future home site could need variances, which may or may not be approved. The Commissioners discussed it and agreed that driveways are a legal use on a property in and of themselves, and do not require that a future home or structure be built. EVALUATION OF VARIANCE REQUEST Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan describes the General Rural District as a residential area of mixed lot sizes. The Plan supports single-family residential uses in the GR District. The Comprehensive Plan includes goals to protect water and native plant resources by working with property owners and through enforcement of the City’s ordinances, including the Shoreland ordinance. Distance from northwest corner of property to wetland to the east is approx. 20 feet. Jensen Variance Request Submitted: March 13, 2019 Scandia City Council Page 5 City Council Meeting: March 19, 2019 The proposed driveway would be set back further from German Lake than an existing, informal access lane and seeks to locate the driveway in an alignment that minimizes vegetative cutting, grading and erosion impacts. It is therefore consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan for uses in the General Rural and Shoreland Overlay Districts. Development Code Requirements relevant to proposed application Lot Size and Setbacks Lot Size The applicant’s parcel is 19.1 acres, larger than minimum lot size of 2.0 acres for the GR district and more than the 2.5 acre minimum lot size for riparian parcels in the Shoreland Overlay District. It is also larger than the underlying density of 4 dwelling units per 40 acres. Setbacks The proposed driveway location requires variances from the OHWL of German Lake and from a wetland.  Required OHWL setback from German Lake is 200 feet; Proposed is approximately 145 feet  Required setback from the Manage 1 wetland is 75 feet; Proposed is approximately 10 feet Note: The Watershed’s conditional approval recommends shifting the driveway alignment further east – at least 75 feet east of the wetland, which would place it within about 85 feet of the German Lake OHWL. Driveway Access Described above. Vegetation The property is a wooded lot. The proposed driveway location is preferred over the existing driveway location in order to move the driveway further back from German Lake and to follow an alignment that minimizes vegetative cutting. Grading and Drainage The applicant has applied for a grading permit from the City of Scandia. He proposes to install at culvert under the driveway where it runs closest to the wetland. Please see comments from City Engineer in next item. City Engineer Comments City Engineer, Ryan Goodman, provided the following recommendations and comments. Variance Jensen Variance Request Submitted: March 13, 2019 Scandia City Council Page 6 City Council Meeting: March 19, 2019  If the Variance request is approved then the applicant will have to obtain a grading & building permit to construct the proposed driveway/house. I understand they have submitted a grading/land alteration permit application but the information listed below needs to be addressed prior to review.  Proposed culvert west invert shall be approved by Washington Conservation District & Watershed District. Setting it too low will drain the existing wetland. Grading Plan – Grading/Land Alteration Permit  Proposed project is located within a Shoreland Zone and will disturb fifty (50) cubic yards or more and/or disturbance of 1,000 square feet or m ore along with clearing trees.  Site work shall be in compliance of the Watershed District and Washington Conservation District.  Driveway dimensions, slopes, and elevations need to be included on the proposed driveway.  Proposed 24” Culvert needs to include invert elevations and a final driveway grade spot elevation right above culvert for review and approval by the Watershed District and City.  Driveway needs to be reviewed and approved by the Fire Department, including the discussion of a midpoint turnaround.  Slopes matching into wetland edges shall conform to 6:1 slope as much as possible. Provide this information at the culvert crossing location.  Soil piles from the excavation for the proposed work shall be handled with care. Material should be hauled off site immediately or stored in a manner that has perimeter protection. All erosion control devices must be installed before any construction work begins including rock construction entrance. Street sweeping shall be anticipated.  Temporary restoration may be required to contain any erosion. Upon completion of the grading, site restoration shall be completed as soon as possible.  Grading plan needs to identify the proposed garage low floor opening and the house low floor opening to verify elevation is 3 feet above the OHW and 1 foot above any natural emergency overflows.  City has previously permitted and approved the driveway access to 218th Street and will remain in its current location.  Work should be coordinated with Private Utilities to allow extension of services at the same time the driveway work is happening.  A Gopher State One Call is required before any excavation work can start. At time of Building Permit  Proposed height of improvements within/adjacent to Northern States Power easement shall be reviewed. Jensen Variance Request Submitted: March 13, 2019 Scandia City Council Page 7 City Council Meeting: March 19, 2019  Septic drainfield system and secondary system will have to be shown and approved by Washington County.  Proposed well location will need to be shown to verify required separation distances and approved by the Minnesota Department of Health. Stormwater Management and Watershed District Comments The Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District Board issued Conditional Approval to Mr. Jensen for a Land Disturbance Plan to construct a driveway. The report is attached and three of the key requirements for the driveway are noted below: 3. Erosion & Sediment Control – A sediment and erosion control plan must be provided and must include a temporary rock construction entrance, silt fencing downstream of disturbed areas, revegetation specifications, and a construction implementation schedule. 4. Buffers – The location of the proposed driveway is within the required 75 -feet buffer of the delineated wetland on the north edge of the parcel. Per District Rule 4.5.2, creation of impervious area is prohibited within this buffer. The District suggests shifting the proposed driveway to the east to avoid the wetland buffer, while still making use of the beneficial topography located at the wetland outlet. As the existing driveway is nonconforming (within the 100-feet buffer of German Lake), the District would accept locating the new driveway within the lake buffer, provided the existing distance between the lake and driveway is not decreased (which is unlikely). 6. Wetland Management – The proposed plan does not include fill within wetlands, however, a Manage 2 wetland drains east to German Lake over a topographic saddle on which the driveway is proposed. The proposed culvert must not be placed below the existing overflow elevation of the wetland. Additional culvert details are required to verify no indirect wetland impacts. DNR Comments The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Area Hydrologist, Jenifer Sorensen, reviewed the application and did not have specific comments on the driveway location. However, she expressed concern that any future home would likely require a variance from the OHWL of German Lake and she questioned where septic would go. Applicants’ Rationale for the Variance and Discussions with the City The applicant’s rationale for the variances for a new driveway is to use a route that that is less steep than the existing driveway (which is rarely used, since the lot has no dwelling at this time), Jensen Variance Request Submitted: March 13, 2019 Scandia City Council Page 8 City Council Meeting: March 19, 2019 that moves the driveway further away from German Lake, and that requires less grading, fill and tree cutting than alternatives alignments would. Criteria for Variance and Findings Chapter 1, Section 6.0 of the Development Code includes the criteria and required process for considering variance requests. Each item to be considered for a variance is identified below in italics, followed by the Planner’s findings regarding the requested setback variances for a driveway from the OHWL of German Lake and from an adjacent wetland at 11245 218th Street North. 1. Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan and general purposes and intent of the official control. The Comprehensive Plan includes goals to protect water and native plant resources by working with property owners and through enforcement of the City’s ordinances, including the Shoreland ordinance. The proposed driveway location moves the driveway further away from German Lake and uses an alignment designed to minimize vegetative cutting and is therefore consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan for uses in the General Rural and Shoreland Overlay Districts. 2. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner under the conditions allowed by official control(s). Single-family residences are permitted in the General Rural District and Shoreland District, and driveways provided for that intended use are therefore a reasonable use on the parcel. 3. The practical difficulties are not caused by the landowner, and are unique to the property. The practical difficulties are unique to the property. They include the significant topography on the site and the narrowness of the strip of land that runs between the lake and the wetland to get to the building site. The applicant did not create the practical difficulties. 4. The variance would not alter the essential character of the area. Granting the variance would not alter the character of the area. The proposed driveway minimizes site disturbance on the land and is not visible from adjacent properties, except near the public right-of-way. 5. Economic conditions alone shall not constitute practical difficulties. Jensen Variance Request Submitted: March 13, 2019 Scandia City Council Page 9 City Council Meeting: March 19, 2019 The practical difficulties are not related to economic conditions alone, but are caused by the topography of the existing parcel and the location of existing water features. 6. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or i mpair property values within the neighborhood. The proposed driveway will not impair the supply of light or air to adjacent properties or increase congestion, endanger the public, or substantially diminish or impair property values in the neighborhood. 7. The requested variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the practical difficulty. The requested variances provide a route for the driveway that will be least impactful to the natural topography and vegetation on the site, while much more closely meeting the setback from German Lake relative to an existing driveway. An alternative driveway route from the northwest corner of the site would be more impactful to the natural features of the property, since there is only about 20 feet of space between the property line and the edge of the wetland. Any driveway introduced at this access point would require a setback variance from the wetland and perhaps a wetland fill permit, to accommodate a driveway apron off of 218th Street. 8. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. The variance is not related to a need for direct sunlight for solar energy systems. The findings support granting the variance. ACTION REQUESTED: The Planning Commission should receive public comments at the hearing on March 5, discuss the variance request, and can recommend the following: 1. Approval 2. Approval with conditions 3. Denial with findings 4. Table the request Jensen Variance Request Submitted: March 13, 2019 Scandia City Council Page 10 City Council Meeting: March 19, 2019 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS: The Planning Commission recommends approval of the setback variances from the OHWL of German Lake and from the adjacent wetland to allow the installation of a driveway on the property, subject to the following conditions. 1. The location of the driveway shall be adjusted from the proposed alignment to comply with recommendations of the watershed district, with final alignment to be approved by the watershed and the City Engineer prior to construction. 1. The applicant shall obtain other permits as required for building a driveway. 2. The applicant shall pay all fees and escrows associated with the variance application .

Zoning Variance Application for the City of Scandia, received 1/22/19. Findings: 1. Description – The proposed project entails constructing a new driveway at 113XX 218th St. N, for the purpose of reducing necessary grading and tree removal associated with current site access. This driveway will serve a future new home, details of which have yet to be provided. 2. Stormwater Management – Stormwater management will not be required for construction of the driveway. However, stormwater management will be required for the proposed residence in accordance with the District’s Small Residential Project Stormwater Worksheet. 3. Erosion & Sediment Control – A sediment and erosion control plan must be provided and must include a temporary rock construction entrance, silt fencing downstream of disturbed areas, revegetation specifications, and a construction implementation schedule. 4. Buffers – The location of the proposed driveway is within the required 75-feet buffer of the delineated wetland on the north edge of the parcel. Per District Rule 4.5.2, creation of impervious area is prohibited within this buffer. The District suggests shifting the proposed driveway to the east to avoid the wetland buffer, while still making use of the beneficial topography located at the wetland outlet. As the existing driveway is nonconforming (within the 100-feet buffer of German Lake), the District would accept locating the new driveway within the lake buffer, provided the existing distance between the lake and driveway is not decreased (which is unlikely). 5. Floodplain – The 100-yr flood elevation of German Lake is 958.7 (FEMA). The proposed driveway is not within the 100-yr flood zone. The (future) proposed home lowest floor elevation will need to comply with District freeboard requirements. 6. Wetland Management – The proposed plan does not include fill within wetlands, however, a Manage 2 wetland drains east to German Lake over a topographic saddle on which the driveway is proposed. The proposed culvert must not be placed below the existing overflow elevation of the wetland. Additional culvert details are required to verify no indirect wetland impacts. Board Action: The CMSCWD Board conditionally approved this application on Permit Application No. 19-003 Jensen Driveway & Residence, German Lake Emmons & Olivier Resources, Inc. - 5 - 2/20/19 February 13th, 2019 pending receipt of the above items. Comments submitted by John Lindell 02/20/2019 As noted above I want to be notified of the site visit. I have expressed my concerns to you and the Council regarding the proposed driveway just a few yards from German Lake to access the building site with a driveway across a stream that flows into German Lake. Washington County, with voter approval,adopted its Land and Water Legacy Program in 2006 to improve and protect waters. An approval of the German Lake plan would require multiple variances in direct contravention of the special funding and voter support to protect County waters. The Council should make its land use and variance decisions that supports the County and State to protect drinking and other water uses. I hope they will. regards, John Lindell CITY OF SCANDIA, MINNESOTA CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 03-19-19-02 RESOLUTION APPROVING VARIANCES FOR 11245 218TH STREET NORTH WHEREAS, Brent Jensen has made an application for variances from the required setbacks from the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) of German Lake and from a wetland to install a driveway at 11245 218th Street North; and WHEREAS, the property is legally described as follows: THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF THE NORTHEAST QUARTER OF SECTION 18, TOWNSHIP 32 NORTH, RANGE 20 WEST, WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA, EXCEPT THAT PART PLATTED AS GERMAN LAKE ESTATES; And WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the request for the Variance at a duly noticed Public Hearing on February 5, 2019 and recommended that the City Council approve the variance with conditions; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCANDIA, WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA, that Variances to setbacks from the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) of German Lake and from a wetland to install a driveway at 11245 218th Street North are approved, based on the following findings: 1.
