SCANDIA Date of Meeting: January 17, 2023 To: Mayor and City Council From: T.J. Hofer, Consultant City Planner Re: Interim Use Permit (IUP) for Additional Animal Units Applicant: Correy and Michelle Lorenz Zoning: Rural Residential - General (RR-G) Owner: Correy and Michelle Lorenz Future Land General Rural Lorenz Property 2 LLC Use 16315 2091h Street North Location: PID 1903219220004 & Review March 17.2023 1903219220008 Deadline: The applicant is requesting approval for an interim use permit (IUP) to allow up to 20 animal units on their property at 16315 209th Street North. The application intends to allow the applicant to raise cattle in addition to other activities on their land. If the interim use is permitted, the applicants would construct a structure to shelter the additional livestock, as well as fencing and a manure storage area. BACKGROUND The subject property consists of two parcels, totaling 6.15 acres in size, and is zoned Rural Residential — General and guided as General Rural in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. A single- family dwelling and detached accessory structure are located on the southern half of the property. Most of the site is undeveloped. The property slopes from the southwest corner down towards the north and east towards where the property adjoins right-of-way on 2091h Street and 11 Page St. Croix Trail North/TH 95. Adjacent properties are all primarily used for single-family dwellings and zoned RR-G. The Unified Development Code (UDC) outlines requirements for livestock and livestock operations in Chapter 153.300.030 Subd. 1(P). This section also outlines the maximum amount of livestock permitted, based on animal units and the size of the property. A head of cattle is equal to 1.0 animal units, other types of livestock are assigned different animal units. The table is included in the attachments. A minimum of two acres is required for each animal unit. The UDC allows for a landowner to obtain an IUP to exceed the density of one animal unit per two acres. In this case, the applicants would be limited to three cattle without an IUP, as their property is 6.15 acres in size. The code allows for a higher density of livestock to be permitted through an interim use permit (IUP). The UDC does not set a standard to determine a maximum amount of animal units allowed through an IUP. The applicant has provided an inventory of the animals currently on the site and the inventory is attached. Based on the current weight of the animals on the site, the total animal units present on the site is 2.1 animal units. Table 1: Existing Conditions: Animal Units (as of 111212023) Animal Type Number of Animal Unit Total Animal Unit Animal Calves, 150 lbs or less 4 150/1000 0.6 or 0.15 Calves; 150-250 lbs. 5 250/1000 1.25 or 0.25 Swine, under 50 lbs. 5 0.05 0.25 Total 2.1 animal units The application includes a description of the request and multiple documents regarding the request. Communications between the applicant and officials and experts from the MPCA and the University of Minnesota were included with the application. Additionally included in the application is a petition with six signatures in favor of the application. EVALUATION OF REQUEST Comments Five letters were received by the City regarding the public hearing, two in support of the application and three against the application. The letters are included in the attachments. 21 Page Interim Use Permit Livestock Standards and Requirements Chapter 153.300.030 Subd. 1(P) outlines the requirements for livestock in the city. The density of livestock permitted on a site is based on the size of the property. Table 153.300.030-1. `Animal Units Per Acre Equivalents' lists the animal unit value assigned to different types of livestock. A minimum of two acres is required for each animal unit. The UDC allows for a landowner to obtain an IUP to exceed the density of one animal unit per two acres. In this case, the applicants would be limited to three cattle without an IUP, as their property is 6.15 acres in size. The applicant's initial request on the application was for "15 or more beef cattle." After further discussion the request was brought forward to both the Planning Commission, on December 6, 2022, and City Council, on December 20, 2022, requesting permission for "20 cattle." Following these meetings, staff met with the applicant to discuss the request. The applicant detailed the cyclical process of raising the livestock to staff. Using the information provided by the applicant, staff has estimated that the following will be the maximum amount of livestock on the site at any time: Table 2: Proposed Conditions: Maximum Operational Animal Units Animal Type Number of Animal Unit Total Animal Unit Animal Calves, 150 lbs or less 9 150/1000 1.35 or 0.15 Slaughter Cattle 9 1 9 Swine, over 55 lbs 5 0.4 2 Total 12.35 animal units Staff has not received a formal request to lower the animal units allowed by the IUP below the original 20. Staff believes the applicant's proposed use could be accomplished with an allowed animal unit maximum anywhere between 13 and 15 animal units. The first condition in the approving resolution has been amended from "20" to "15" animal units. 153.300.030 Subd. I(P)(IV) states that to obtain the Interim Use Permit, "the applicant must demonstrate that facilities are present and that appropriate practices are being employed to preclude surface or ground water contamination, excessive manure accumulation, odor, noise and other nuisances". To address the conditions regarding manure accumulation, odor, noise, and other nuisances, the applicant is proposing to have a 100 sq. ft. (10 ft. x 10 ft.) manure storage area on the site. The applicant has stated in their application that they have the availability to give away excess 31 Page manure to be spread on a neighbor's farm fields as fertilizer or to sell to interested buyers. If the applicant was proposing to transport the manure themselves, a Manure Management Plan approved by the MPCA would be required. The applicant proposes to add fencing for pasture and grazing areas and a 128 sq. ft. shelter for the cattle if the IUP is approved. Staff is not aware of any factors that would cause concern fur groundwater contamination on the site. The proposed property is over 3,000 ft. away from the St. Croix River and outside of the Saint Croix River District. The standards of the Saint Croix River District and Shoreland Management Overlay District do not apply to the subject property. Accessory Structures and Fencing Standards for accessory structure are established in 153.200.030 Subd. 6 of the UDC. Dimensional standards for accessory structures sheltering farm animals are covered under Subd. 6(B). Setbacks for such structures are 100 ft. from any property line, 50 ft. from wells or residential structures on the property, and 200 ft. from any wetlands, lakes, or streams. Table 153.200.030-20. 'Accessory Structure Dimensional and Size Standards' outlines the size and number of accessory structures permitted on a property. Since this property falls in the 5.00 to 9.99 acre size category, one agricultural building is permitted. Building permits would be required for the structure, due to its size; zoning requirements would be reviewed as part of the building permit process. Fencing standards are found in Section 153.400.060 Subd. 4 of the UDC. A fence would be permitted up to a height of six feet along the right-of-way for a parcel that is agricultural in use, provided said fence is `wire strand, woven wire, or wood split rail fence.' Properties that are primarily used for agriculture do not require a permit for a fence that is six feet or under. Livestock vs Feedlot The proposed use would be required to register with the MPCA as a feedlot if it was at a density of 50 animal units, and submit an MPCA compliant manure management plan at a density of 100 animal units; animal units for this are calculated differently than what the city uses, though the applicant would still be below those thresholds. The proposed use does not meet the definition of a feedlot. IUP Criteria Chapter 153.500.060 Subd. I (C)(I) of the UDC lists the general standards to meet to grant a CUP or IUP. Below these standards are repeated in italics, with the staffs findings following: 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. Livestock and Livestock Operations are a permitted use in the RR-G zone and are not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. The ordinance permits additional animal density 41 Page through an IUP. The proposed use will not require new public facilities or impact the City's capital improvement plan. 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, however, the applicant is requesting a higher intensity use than is allowed by right. The proposed use may not create adverse impacts on the public health safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the public. Reasonable conditions of approval can be added if the City Council finds issues with the proposed use concerning surface or ground water contamination, excessive manure accumulation, odor, noise, and other potential nuisances. Due to the proposed transfer of manure, a Manure Management Plan should be required to be submitted to the city. Staff has included a condition that a Manure Management Plan be submitted. 3. The proposed use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinityfor the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values or scenic views. The site is already screened from lots to the east, west, and south by existing vegetation. The only lot that would be able to easily see the structure is the lot to the north across 209th. The use would be visible to the right-of-way of 209th and the highway. Most nearby properties are either agricultural or residential in use, as lots in this portion of the city are zoned RR-G or AG-C. This zone is meant to `promote the rural character of the city', the raising of livestock would be consistent with a rural setting. Given the existing landscaping between the subject property and neighboring lots, and the rural character of the area, this use may not substantially diminish or impair nearby property values or scenic views. 4. The establishment of the proposed use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding propertyfor uses permitted in the district. 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 use the same driveway as the house, no new curb cut or access drive will be needed. The proposed use would not require an extension of city -owned public facilities. 51Page 6. The proposed use shall conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located and all other applicable standards of this Chapter. The proposed use is consistent with the applicable regulations of the RR-G District and is consistent with the requirements of the UDC. Any future structures on the site will be required to conform with the applicable regulations of the district. Reasonable conditions of approval can be added if the City Council finds issues with the proposed use in relation to surface or ground water contamination, excessive manure accumulation, odor, noise, and other potential nuisances. 7. The proposed use complies with the general and specific performance standards as specified by this Section and this Chapter. This proposed interim use appears to meets the general and specific performance standards of the UDC. In addition, Chapter 153.500.060 Subd. I (C)(11) notes the following standards specific to IUPs must be met: 1. The use is allowed as an interim use in the respective Base Zoning District or any applicable Overlay District. Livestock are a permitted use in the RR-G zone; the proposed density of 2.43 animal units per acre (15 animal units on 6.15 acres of land) is may be permitted through an interim use permit. 2. The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty. As an interim use, the City can set an end date or `sunset' of the interim use. The Planning Commission recommended the interim use be set to terminate after three years at which point the applicant would reapply and the City would evaluate how the use is performing. 3. The use will not impose additional unreasonable costs on the public. The proposed use would not require an extension of city -owned infrastructure or facilities (such as roads, city sewer, etc.). 4. The user agrees to any conditions that the City Council deems appropriate for permission of the use. Conditions of approval must be agreed to by the applicant. 61Page Planning Commission Review The application was reviewed by the Planning Commission at their December 6, 2022 meeting. The Planning Commission held a public hearing where two residents spoke. One resident spoke in favor of the application and the other resident commented that they were concerned about odors coming from the proposed use. The public hearing was then closed. Commissioners discussed the topic and questioned the applicant about the proposal. The applicant discussed the application with the Commission and spoke about how they had reached out to multiple experts at organizations like the MPCA and the University of Minnesota to inform their application. The applicants responded to some of the letters that were submitted as public comment and noted that the cattle breed that was stated in the letters was incorrect. Concerns were raised about the number of animals on a parcel of this size. The Commission discussed how long the IUP should run before it terminated and ultimately decided on three years. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval with the condition that the IUP terminate after three years with a vote of 4-1. After further review staff has updated the first condition in the resolution recommended for approval by the Planning Commission. The original condition read, "I. The applicant is permitted a maximum of 20 cattle on the property. Increases in the number of animal units on the site shall require an amendment to the IUP." The UDC allows for, "The keeping of livestock in greater density than allowed as stated above requires the owner to obtain an Interim Use Permit." The UDC does not regulate specific species of animal, but animal units. The condition has been updated to reflect this and account for all livestock on the property, rather than specifically cattle. Staff Analysis Staff finds that the proposed plan is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Where the plan is not consistent, staff has recommended conditions within the resolution to bring the proposal into compliance. The UDC does not currently have a standard that would establish a maximum number of animal units allowed on site through an IUP. Staff recommends that the City Council not make a decision on the application based solely on the number of animal units. If the City Council finds that the applicant will not meeting the requirements and standards for the IUP, the City may deny the request. Staff has prepared draft resolutions for approval and denial in the event the Council finds the application does not meet the standards. Options A. If the City Council finds that the IUP standards have not been met, they should deny the request. The City Council should also review the findings for denial and amend the findings as needed. 71 Page B. If the City Council finds that the IUP standards have been met, they should move to approve, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The Council may also further modify the resolution. The proposed conditions are: 1. The applicant is permitted a maximum of 15 animal units on the property. Increases in the number of animal units on the site shall require an amendment to the IUP. 2. The applicant shall adhere to the fencing and accessory structure requirements of the UDC. 3. The applicant shall submit a manure management plan to the City. 4. The applicant shall acquire applicable permits required by the watershed district and adhere to their requirements. The IUP shall terminate three years from the date of approval; or in the event the property is sold, the use is discontinued, or conditions of the permit are violated, whichcvcr occurs first. 6. The applicant shall secure all applicable local, state, and federal permits for the proposed request. 7. The applicant shall pay all fees and escrow costs related to the application. The Council may also want to amend the conditions based on the following: Does the applicant need to provide more information or more involved ways to deal with manure? • Does the IUP need to terminate at an earlier or later date? C. If the Council finds that more information is required, they could table the item. The deadline for action for the application has already been extended to the 120-day time limit. The application deadline is now March 17. 2023. The City Council would need to act on the item on the February 21, 2023 meeting.

Our manure management plan is that we plan on stock piling our manure in a holding area where it will get covered with a tarp to keep the smell down. We also have permission from Mike Slater who stated that we can spread our manure on his fields for fertilizer. We also are looking into potentially selling the manure as well. The noise of the cattle should not be a concern as there is 2 properties across the street and 2 doors down that also have cattle. We have 3 pastures for the cattle. Two of the pastures are for grazing and then the third is a sacrificial pasture. We will also register with the state of MN as a feedlot.
