Scandia, Minnesota •
APPLICANT: Roger and Joyce Heinisch
ZOIVING: Agriculture—Core (AG C)and Agriculture Preserves(AP)
60-DAY PERIOD: December 13,2011
ITEMS RCVIEWED: Application form and exhibits received October 10,2011
BRTEF DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST:
The applicants own 300 acres on eight parcels west of Olinda Trail,east af Oldfield Avenue and north of
Oren Avenue in Scandia. They are requesting a minor subdivision to create a ten-acre parcel on one of the
existing 40-acre parcels along Olinda Trail that would include the existing home and accessory structures.
They are working with the Minnesota Land Trust to create a permanent conservation easement on the
remaining 290 acres. The applicants have discussed potential future ownerslup of the easement area with the
Minnesota DNR.
The applicants are requesting a variance to allow creation of the 10-acre parcel on one of the existing 40-acre
parcels in the Agriculhue Core (AG C) District, and to preserve some of the existing accessory buildings on
that 10-acre parcel. The proposed lot size does not meet the requirements of the AG C District,and the
number and area of the buildings requested to remain on the property would exceed the maximum 2
accessory struclures and 2,500 total square feet allowed for parcels that are 10 acres in size. �

• Scandia,Minnesota
The property is in the Agriculiure Preseives (AP) and Agriculture Core(AG C)Districts.
DETAILED EVALUATION OF THE REQUEST:
Comprehensive Plan
The subject property is designated Agriculture Preserves and Agricultural Core on the Future Land Use map
included in the Comprehensive Plan. (Parcels included in Agricultural Preserves are at the south end of the
property, and indicated on the map attached,) The Agriculture Preserves status of the parcels enrolled in that
program expired on May 7, 2010,but the zoning sta.tus remains.
The Comprehensive Plan includes the following goals related to the AG Core District that are relevant to the
proposed subdivision request:
� The plan encourages lot sizes that will support continuation of agricultural land uses.
• The plan encourages protecting a�n�icultural production as a long-term land use, and encourages long-
term protection of agricultural lands and open space through conservation easements, the Agriculture
Preserves program, Open Space Conservation Subdivisions and similar pro�rams.
• The plan also encourages preservation of historic agricultural structures in order to support long-term
agriculture use and maintain the rural character of Scandia.
• The plan encourages protection and restoration of natural resources and wildlife habitat.
• The applicants are proposing to place a permanent conservation easement on 290 of the 300 acres that they
own. The conservation easement would be held and monitored by the Minnesota Land Trust. The applicants
have discussed potential transfer of the easement area to the Minnesota DNR in the future. Minnesota Land
Trust staff indicated that the following uses will be alIowed in the area under the conservation easeznent:
• Continuation of agriculture use on the existing cultivated fields.
• Restoration of some or all fields to native grassland,with a management plan.
• Wildlife management,including hunting.
• Limited timber harvest in woodland areas with a management plan.
• Protection or expansion of stream buffers.
• Primitive(non-paved)trails. ATV's or other motorized use would only be allowed to use the area to
support agricultural activities or habitat martagement.
• Recreation and educational uses with minimal impacts.
• Benches or rustic structures related to recreation could be placed on the property.
No future residential, commercial or industrial use or structures would be permitted under the easement. No
utilities may be developed on the property.
The proposed subdivision is consistent with the intent and man o�f thegoals in#he Comprehensive Plan.
However it is not consistent with the recommended lot sizes for the A�riculture Core District recommended
in the Comprehensive Plan The pucpose of the lot size recommendations in the AG C District is ta support
continuation of a�ricultural uses.

Density
The maximum density for conventional subdivision in the AG C District is 4 units per 40 acres. The subject
property includes 300 acres and would create a new 10-acre parcel with one dwelling unit and preserve the
remaining 290 acres in eight parcels with no existing vr future dweliing units. Theproposed subdivision
meets the densitv standard of the AG C District.
Lot Size and Frontage
The Development Code requues that new lots in the AG C District be 2 to 5 acres in size, or 20 acres or
greater in size. The code allows lot sizes in Open Space Conservation Subdivisions(OSCS)to vary from the
specified sizes. The code indicates that the minimum lot size in an OSCS is 1.5 acres; no inaximum lot size
is identif ed.
Minimum frontage on a public street is required as follows: lots 2 to 3 acres must have a fronta.ge of 160 feet,
lots 3 to 4 acres must ha�e 240 feet,and larger lots must have 300 feet.
The propased new parcel would have a lot size of 10 acres, and a frontage of approximately 600 feet on
Olinda Trail North. The nroposed�arcel does not meet the lot size requirement in the AG C district,but
does meet the fronta�e requirements The applicants have requested a variance fi•om the lot size standard to
permit creation of the 14-acre parcel.
Accessory Slructures �
There are 14 existing significant accessory buildings on the site (excluding miscellaneous small sheds). The
structures include barns, sheds, silos,and a detached garage. The structures are located on the parcel
proposed for subdivision(identified on attached figure). The total area of the 14 accessox•y structures is
approximately 34,000 square feet. The Development Code allows a maximum 2 accessoiy structures and
total 2,500 square feet of accessory structures on lots of 10 to 20 acres in size.
The ordinance limitations on the number and size of accessory structures on lots less than 40 acres in size is
designed to prevent potential futz.�re incompatible uses on these parcels. Other communities have recently
addressed sites where non-agricultural uses such as trucking businesses,auto repair businesses,and large
kennel operations have begun operation in larger accessory buildings in zones where these businesses are not
pea•mitted.
The applicants highlighted the two tradirional hip-roofed barns that aze hand-hewz►,wood pegged structures
in the application. The total area of the two barns is approximately 8800 square feet and the area of the
detached garage is approximately 600 square feet. The applicants indicated verbally that they would like to
keep most or all of the accessory structures on the parcel.
Wetlands
There axe no wetlands within the proposed 10-acre parcel. No new development is proposed on the paxcel.
Existing wetlands on the 290-acre parcel are shown on Exhibit B submitted with the application. No new
development is proposed on this parcel.

Setbacks
The required setbacks are front yard of 40 feet, side yard of 20 feet, and rear yacd of 50 feet. The existin�
structut•es zneet the required setbacks and no new buildin�s are proposed.
Buildable Area
No new buildings are proposed on the new or existing parcels.
Wastewater Trentr�zenl
The existing homestead is served by an on-site septic system. No new uses that would require wastewater
treatment are proposed.
Stormwater Management
No alteration is proposed in the grades on the site, and no new impervious surfaces are proposed.
Access
The existing driveway is located on Olinda Trail,a county roadway. The application was referred to the
County for comment, as required by the Development Code. The County's letter dated October 15, 2011
indicates that no impacts or concerns were identified for Olinda Trail.
� Easements
Minnesota Land Trust staff indicated that the property owners are proposing to piace a permanent
conset•vation easement on the 290 acres of the property outside the 10-acre homesite. The conservation
easement would be held and managed by the Land Trust. The applicants have discussed eventual sale of the
property with the easement to the Minnesota DNR with staff of the agency.
The easement would allow for a variety of agricultural, recreational and open space uses, and would prohibit
any residential,commercial or industrial development on the property in perpetuity. The easement would
allow for public use of the property for recreational and educationai purposes, and the applicants are willing
to allow public use of the property.
Park Dedication
Pat'k dedication is required for new subdivisions. The City has th�option to obtain park Iand or collect the
fee in lieu of land($3,0�0). The property is not within a Park Search Area per the Comprehensive Plan, so
the City could propose to collect the park fee of$3,000 in lieu of land. However,the applicants are
proposing that the area within the conservation easement be open to the public for passive recreational use
such as walking, biking,horseback riding, and nature observation.
The Parks Committee is scheduled to discuss the application at their meetin�on Noveinber 7, after the
Plantiin�Commission and befare the Caunci] meeting on November 15. This will allow the Committee to
make a recomm.endation re�ardin�potential park dedication requirements. The Planner recommends that the
Cit�onsider waiving.the park dedication requirements if the conservation easement and owners allow
public use of the prQperty.

DETAILED DISCUSSION OF THE VARIANCE REQIIEST
The State of Minnesota has recently passed legislation modifying the statute regarding variances. The City
Attorney has advised that we use the new state language for this application,and that the City's ordinance be
updated to include the new state language related to the criteria for granting a variance.
The new language states tha# "Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general
purposes and intent of the nfftcial control and when the variances are consistent with the comprehertsive
plan. Variances may be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that there are practical
difficulties in complying with the official control. Variances may be granted when the applicant for the
variance establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with the official control. `Practical
difficulties, 'as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner proposes
to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by an official control; the plight of the landowner
is due to circumstances unigue to the property not created by the landolvner; and the variance, if granted
will not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic considerations alone do not constitute
practical difficulties. "
FINDINGS
The following bullets present the Planner's findings related to the Heinisch request for a variance, based on !
the statutory criteria for granting a variance. Each of the criteria are shown in italics:
• The property owner propases to use the property in a reasonable manner under the conditions allowed
by off cial control(s).
Agriculture and Single Family Residenees are pernutted uses in the Agricultural Core(AG C)District,
and are therefore reasonabie uses of the property.
However,the applicants are requesting the following variance from the official controls:
� A variance from the required lot size to allow a ten-acre lat. The development code specifies
that lots in the AG C District be 2.0 to 5.0 Acres or 20 acres or greater.
� A variance from the total nunnber and area of accessoty structures allowed in the AG C District.
Lot size variance request analysis
The applicants provided the follawing rationale for the requested lot size variance:
• Expansion of the proposed 10-acre parcel to 20 aci•es would encompass an existing access road that
provides access to the agi�icultural fields. The existing road is just south of the proposed 10-acre
parcel, and is shown on the attached figures. They believe that this e�sting road needs to remain in
order to provide access to the fields so that the agricultural activities can continue if the 10-acre
parcel is sold in the future. The applicants indicated that other access options are limited,and that
feasible accesses in other locations would divide existing fields, and require grading and a new
culvert. •
• A 2 to 5-acre parcel would make retention of the historic agricultural buildings more difficult or
impossible.
Heinisch Minor Subdivision and Va�lance Page 6 November 1, 2011
• Scandia, Minnesota
The Planner suggests that�rantin�the variance to allow the 10-acre parcel in the AG C District based on the
followin�:
• Granting the variance will further the goals of the Comprehensive plan to preseive long-teran
agricultural use and open space and protect natural resources in the AG C district.
+ The Development Code does allow fle�cibility in lot sizes for Open Space Conservation Subdivisions.
OSCS require that at least 55 percent of the property be permanently dedication for agricultural use
or open space. The minimum lot size allowed for OSCS is 1.5 acres, with no maximum size
specified. The application of a conservation easement over 96%of the property owned by the
applicant accomplishes the same goals as OSCS,and exceeds the required dedication of open space.
Therefore, it is reasonable to allow the flexibility that would be allowed for an OSCS.
� Allowing the 14-acre parcel would more easily allow maintenance of the two existing barn structures
than a 2 to 5 acre lot,
• Allowing the 10-acre parcel allows maintenance of the existing access road,and helps to maintain
long-term agricultural use on the property.
Accessory structure variance analysis � '
The applicants are requesting a variance from the allowed number and total area of accessory structures in
• order to preserve two historic bam structures. The applicants noted the significance of the two traditional
barns in the application, and indicated verbally that they would like to keep most or all of the accessory
structures on the parcel.
The Planning Commission should discuss the applicant's request and make a recoznmendation re�ardin�the
number and area of accessoiy structures that will be permitted ta remain on the site. Issues to consider
inciude:
� Comprehensive Plan goals to preserve traditional agricultura] buildings and the agriculiural character
of the community.
� Potential concerns related to future incompatible use of the accessory structures
• A garage is a necessary accessory structure in the local climate.
• The practical d�culties are not caused by the landowner, and are unique to the property.
The practical difficulties are caused by the location of the existing field and roadwayconfiguration, and
by the location of the existing historic baxn structures on the property. The difFculties are unique to the
historic development of the property, and were not created by the current landowner.
• The va�•iance would not alter the e.ssential character of'the area.
Granting the variances would help to protect the agiicultural character of the area, and to preserve and
enhance existing natural resources.
• Economic conditions alone shall not constihrte practical di�culties.
•
Heinisch Minor Subdivision and Variance Page 7 November 1, 2011
Scandia, Minnesota •
The applicants indicated that the request for a 10-acre parcel was made ui part because a 10-acre parcel
is znore saleable than a 20-acre parcel. However,they indicated that this economic consideration is not
the only reason for the request.
• Variances shall only be permrtted��hen they are in harmony with the generalpurposes and intent of the
o�cial control.
Granting the requested variances is in harmony with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan
and Development Code as follows:
o The variances will support protecting 290 acres with a permanent conseiva#ion easement that
limits future use to agriculturai production,habitat and wildlife management, and open space.
o The vviances will allow preservation of historic agricultural structures and maintain the nual
character of Scandia.

accessory structures to remain on t�e parcel,based on the findings noted above. The Planning Commission

REQUEST FOR MINOR SUDIVISION WIl'H A VARIANCE
We are asking for a variance on a ten acre parcei;
1. We do not meet the buitding limit#or 10 acres–have 10 butldings,2 corn cribs and a
bunkfeeder plus the house and garage.
2. Two of the buildings are h(p roof barns that are hand hewn and wood pegged which
makes them historical. Removing the pole buildings would destroy the rural
characte�isti�of the farm.
� � 3. To expand to 20.1 acres removes ihe ability to access the f3eld road which will become
tFie appropriate ent�ance to the field roads.
4. 10 acres is much more sale-able than 20 acres any time in the future.
5. We are not asking for this varian�e for our own economic benefit—we are asking ta keep
the maximum amount of land open to be enjoyed by everyone in the future and to
maintain Scandia's rural characteristics.
i
•
•
Our goal is that our land never be buiit on and kept open for the public to enjoy in
perpetuity th�ough the MN t,and Trust. We envision the iand being an anima)
sanctuary to foster homes for all types of animafs as well as walking, biking ancf
horseback riding trails.
As a result we want to, in the future, sell oniy te� acres.
