Motion by Commissioner Siess, seconded by Commissioner Hade, to table the September 9, 2015 meeting minutes. All in favor, 7-0. OPEN FORUM There were no public comments. PUBLIC HEARINGS Case No. 2015-33 Special Use Permit for an indoor play space located at 120 Main Street South. John and Kelly Daly, applicants. City Planner Wittman explained that the applicant proposes to create an indoor play space and small events center that would include walk-in, open play times on weekday and Saturday mornings, with rental of the facilities in the afternoons and on Sundays. Ms. Wittman reviewed the proposed floor Planning Commission October 14, 2015 plan and stated the play space would not be a drop -in daycare center; it would be a supervised facility. She stated the applicants are scheduled to meet with the Downtown Parking Commission about parking mitigation. The applicants have submitted a soundproofing plan they are willing to implement if there are substantiated complaints. Staff recommends approval with conditions. John and Kelly Daly, applicants, explained their proposal. Mr. Daly stated an indoor play space is needed in Stillwater. He added that the space has sat vacant for two years; this proposal will help keep the downtown spaces full. Ms. Daly stated the facility will have a town design for creative play including areas for infant soft play, a grocery store, train depot, restaurant, sandbox, and jump center. She continued there will be birthday parties in three rooms at times when open play is not happening. It will be fully staffed at all times. Commissioner Siess asked where patrons will park. Mr. Daly replied the recommended place will be the parking ramp two blocks away. Commissioner Hade remarked the concept is great, but parking might be an issue. Chairman Kocon opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Collins voiced support for the concept, adding that he doesn't feel parking will be an issue. Commissioner Hansen also voiced support. Commissioner Siess said she supports the concept but struggles with the location because there is no dedicated parking. Chairman Kocon commented that the parking will boil down to an economic issue: if customers don't want to park in the ramp, the business won't be there. He stated that he doesn't think parking will be a safety issue. Motion by Commissioner Collins, seconded by Commissioner Hansen, to approve Case No. 2015-33, a Special Use Permit for an indoor play space located at 120 Main Street South, with the following conditions: 1. No drop-off child care services shall be permitted. 2. The three meeting room spaces shall not be reserved for parties or other community meetings at any time during walk-in, open free play time periods. 3. Prior to the operating of an indoor play center, the applicant shall secure all required approvals from the Stillwater Building Department, Stillwater Fire Department and other county or state departments with oversight of the operations. 4. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall submit a soundproofing plan to be utilized as a mitigation item in the event the noise ordinance is violated. Additionally, the plan should address mitigation efforts for the reduction of indoor noise in the event the activities within the facility become too loud for standard business operations. a. The soundproofing plan shall be implemented in the event substantiated noise complaints are drawn against the property. 5. All existing and future trash receptacles shall be stored inside the building at all times with the exception of the day of trash collection. Page 2 of 5 Planning Commission October 14, 2015 6. Prior to the commencement of any exterior work, including the installation of lighting and signage, a Design Review Permit shall be submitted and approved by the Heritage Preservation Commission prior to the issuance of a building permit. a. Any conditions attached to the Design Permit issued by the Heritage Preservation Commission are incorporated by reference into this Special Use Permit. 7. A parking mitigation plan must be approved by the Downtown Parking Commission to satisfy the off- street parking requirements. If the plan includes a fee -in -lieu, the fee shall be paid upon receipt of City invoice. Charges not paid within 30 days will be certified for collection with the real estate taxes in October of each year. The applicant waives any and all procedural and substantive objections to the purchase requirement including, but not limited to, a claim that the City lacked authority to impose and collect the fees as a condition of approval of this permit. The applicant agrees to reimburse the City for all costs incurred by the City in defense of enforcement of this permit including this provision. a. Any conditions attached to the parking mitigation plan approved by the Downtown Parking Commission are incorporated by reference into this Special Use Permit. Motion passed 6-1, with Commissioner Siess voting nay. Chairman Kocon pointed out that next month's meeting will be on Monday, November 9 due to Veteran's Day being November 11. Case No. 2015-34 Variances associated with a request for external side yard expansion of one car garage and second story dormer, located at 624 Oak Street West. Anil (Dale) and Sunny Moosai, owners. City Planner Wittman explained that the applicants have requested variances to make improvements consisting of a 6' addition to the single car, attached garage and the expansion of a second story dormer to accommodate a code -compliant stairway to the second, half -story of the residence. Variances are: a) a 13' variance to allow the garage addition to be 17' from the exterior side lot line, 30' required; and b) a 3' variance to allow the second story dormer to be 17' from the exterior side lot line, 20' required. Staff finds that practical difficulties exist, and recommends approval of both variances with conditions. Chairman Kocon opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. The public hearing was closed. Motion by Commissioner Collins, seconded by Commissioner Lauer, to approve Case No. 2015-34, a 13' variance to the exterior side yard setback for a garage addition and a 3' variance to the exterior side yard setback for a dormer expansion, located at 624 Oak Street West, with the following conditions: 1. Plans shall be substantially similar to those on file with the Community Development Department's Case No. 2015-34. 2. A building permit, or an amendment to an existing building permit, shall be reviewed and approved prior to exterior alterations. 3. The garage addition shall have similar color and materials as the existing structure. 4. Major exterior modifications to the variance permit request shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission. All in favor, 7-0. Case No. 2015-35 Variance associated with the construction of an addition to the back side of home, located at 609 Churchill Street West. Philip and Jone See, owners. City Planner Wittman noted that the applicants have applied for variances to make improvements consisting of a 333 square foot, single story addition to include a new hallway, hall closet, master bedroom and bath, which will all be wheelchair accessible. The applicants are anticipating the need Page 3 of 5 Planning Commission October 14, 2015 for making the home wheelchair accessible. A new set of stairs and wheelchair accessible ramp also are proposed. A variance is required to allow 28% structural coverage on the lot, 3% over the maximum 25% allowed. Ms. Wittman noted an opinion provided by City Attorney David Magnuson stating that if a variance is needed to enable a disabled person to use and enjoy their dwelling, practical difficulty has been established as a matter of law. Staff finds that practical difficulty exists, and recommends approval of the variance with conditions. Philip See, owner, offered to answer any questions. Chairman Kocon opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. The public hearing was closed. Motion by Commissioner Middleton, seconded by Commissioner Siess, to approve Case No. 2015-35, 3% variance to the maximum structural coverage allowed, for the construction of an addition to the back of a home located at 609 Churchill Street West, with the following conditions: 1. Plans shall be substantially similar to those on file with the Community Development Department's Case No. 2015-35. 2. A building permit shall be reviewed and approved prior to any construction occurring. 3. The addition shall have similar color and materials as the existing structure. 4. Major exterior modifications to the variance permit request shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission. All in favor, 7-0. Case No. 2015-36 Variances associated with the construction of an addition to the west side of garage, located at 424 Laurel Street West. Steven Hamond, owner. City Planner Wittman summarized the request. The owner proposes improvements that consist of a 10' addition to the existing 24' wide two -car garage. This would bring the garage closer to Everett Street, therefore the following variances are needed: a) a 14' variance to allow the garage addition to be 16' from the exterior side lot line, 30' required; b) an 8% variance to allow 33% structural coverage on the lot, 25% maximum allowed; and c) a 45 square foot variance to the 10% maximum lot coverage for accessory buildings. Ms. Wittman noted that a letter of support was received from the Clausen family. Staff finds that practical difficulty exists, and recommends approval of the three variances with conditions. Steve Hamond, applicant, pointed out when built out, the garage will be flush with the house, so sight lines will not be impacted. Chairman Kocon opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. The public hearing was closed. Motion by Commissioner Hade, seconded by Commissioner Lauer, to approve Case No. 2015-36, 14' variance to the 30' side yard setback, 8% variance to the 25% structural coverage requirement, and 45 square foot variance to the 10% maximum lot coverage for accessory buildings, associated with the construction of an addition to the west side of garage located at 424 Laurel Street West, with the following conditions: 1. Plans shall be substantially similar to those on file with the Community Development Depaitiuent's Case No. 2015-36. 2. No additional storage structures or sheds shall be permitted on the property. Page4of5 Planning Commission October 14, 2015 3. A building permit, or an amendment to an existing building permit, shall be reviewed and approved prior to exterior alterations. 4. The garage shall have similar color and materials as the residence. 5. Major exterior modifications to the variance permit request shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission. All in favor, 7-0. UNFINISHED BUSINESS There was no unfinished business. OTHER ITEMS OF DISCUSSION Staff Verbal Updates Commissioner Siess asked Junker if there has been any traction in developing gun ordinances. Council Representative Junker replied since the recent approval of a variance for the gun range, he has not heard anything further. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Commissioner Hansen, seconded by Commissioner Collins, to adjourn the meeting at 7:52 p.m. All in favor, 7-0. Respectfully Submitted, Julie Kink Recording Secretary Page 5 of 5 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: November 9, 2015 CASE NO.: NA REQUEST: Discussion regarding future Front Yard Parking Ordinance PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner BACKGROUND In April, 2015, Eric Solberg (2064 Oak Glen Drive) approached the City Council during the open forum session to discuss the issue of yard parking in Stillwater. Utilizing photographs, Mr. Solberg identified an issue experienced in Stillwater: a lack of a yard parking ordinance in Stillwater has created less desirable appearance of properties and neighborhoods. His testimony and submission to the Council indicates yard parking is a form of blight and a nuisance to our community, detracting from the character of the community and devaluing properties. Mr. Solberg presented to the Council ordinances from other communities that addressed this specific issue, as well as offered a draft ordinance to the Council for their consideration. Mr. Solberg's submission is enclosed for the Commission's review. At the meeting the Council briefly discussed the issue identified by Solberg. In their discussion direction was given to staff to work with the Planning Commission on the development of a draft ordinance which would address the issue of yard parking. The Council did not provide direction to staff to address exterior storage in general but, rather, limited the ordinance scope to address the parking of registered vehicles and trailers in yards, specifically front and side yards or those areas visible from the street, on improved surfaces only. In June of this year, City staff brought this matter before the Planning Commission. Staff outlined the issue and identified an estimated timeline for the development of and ordinance. ANTICIPATED ORDINANCE IMPACT A new ordinance designed to address yard parking could impact all residential properties in Stillwater. To understand the extent of the issue, staff conducted an investigation as to the number of properties that would currently be in violation of an ordinance that prohibited yard parking in the front and side yards on an unimproved surface. Additionally, as many of the examples shared by Mr. Solberg were within his neighborhood, staff wanted to determine if this issue was a city-wide issue or not. In order to estimate the total number of offending properties, staff set the following parameters based on the petition from Mr. Solberg and the Council's direction: address the residential parking of vehicles on unimproved surfaces in the front and side yards. From this it was determined to break the City into manageable districts for review of properties. Attached is a map of the districts developed by staff. In order to conduct the survey effectively, it was determined the review of aerial imagery of parcels in Stillwater would be the most efficient and effective method for gathering data. Utilizing 360 degree aerial imagery from April 16, 2014, staff reviewed all residential properties in the following districts. It was determined that due to the nature of the Agricultural Preservation (AP) zone, staff would not review these properties. Additionally, those neighborhoods in West Stillwater, which are included in active Homeowner's Associations (HOAs), contain properties that are managed by covenants which address exterior storage and parking of vehicles. The results of the survey include: Neighborhood Estimated Parcels Total Estimated Offending Parcels Total Percentage Dutchtown 278 19 6.8% North Hill 985 13 1.3% South Hill 1,166 25 2.1% North Central 642 21 3.3% Central 811 39 4.8% West Central 931 46 4.9% Total 4,813 163 3.3% There are some inherent limitations to the survey conducted: • Results are based on review of property from aerial photography. While zooming in on a specific parcel can be achieved, the visual quality is reduced. It left staff with the assumption that this object was a vehicle. Figure 2: Aerial Imagery without Zoom Figure 1: Aerial Imagery Zoomed to 300% • When an object was identified, further investigation would lead staff to make certain assumptions: was there adjacent surfacing material and, if so, was that surfacing material impervious, permeable, etc.? In the circumstance identified on the next page, it was not Yard Parking ZAT CPC 11/8/15 Page 2 of 6 until the last rotation staff identified an additional parking pad had been created on the property but that it does not appear to have been extended to the RV. Furthermore, the areas around the RV appear to be grass on at least two sides. • Lastly, as the aerial imagery was from the spring of 2014, assumptions can be made regarding whether or not the amount of yard parking occurring at the time the imagery was taken is more or less the same all year round. With a basis of the impact of the ordinance staff is better able to indicate this problem is not necessarily specific to one neighborhood; each residential neighborhood surveyed contains properties which homeowners park their vehicles, trailers, etc. on their yards. In neighborhoods where the total percentage is low, staff has made the assumption that this is due to these properties having a relatively small amount of land space in comparison to other neighborhoods. Additionally, the RB District (which the North and South Hill Districts are zoned), the Front Yard Setback area is 20' whereas in the RA District (which several of the other Yard Parking ZAT CPC 11/8/15 Page 3 of 6 districts are zoned) is 30'. The same is true for the Side Yard Setback area: the RB District allows for houses to be closer together with often less than 10' in between houses. OTHER COMMUNITIES As indicated, Mr. Solberg identified ordinances specific to other communities. Additionally, his research was expanded to include other communities which have a similar nature as Stillwater (either a river town or other historic community with a significant amount of visitors), as well as a small sampling of other metro area communities. A summary of the findings from the 33 other communities is attached to this report. Most of the communities define a vehicle as something that is licensed and operable. Several of the communities indicate vehicles include cars, trucks, trailers, ATVs, snowmobile, all -terrain vehicles, campers and recreational vehicles. Four of the surveyed communities have ordinances, or a portion of their zoning/nuisance codes, that specifically address the parking and/or storage of RVs on residential properties. Of the communities surveyed, over half of the communities outright prohibit parking on grass or other landscaping materials. A total of 22 communities require surfacing materials that are improved, with 16 of the communities specifically designating asphalt, concrete, bricks or pavers as the approved surfacing material. Lastly, nearly all communities have specific designations regarding parking vehicles in the front of the property. Where a community allows it, it is designated to be permitted on a driveway or approved parking pad. In regards to side yards, often the side yard is denoted as allowing for parking when it is located behind the front line of the house. Lastly, many communities allow for rear yard parking on unimproved surfaces. PUBLIC INPUT In addition to the required public hearings for the development and adoption of an ordinance, staff has identified two means to solicit public input: an online survey and direct conversations with property owners. Staff anticipates sending a press release out regarding the open public solicitation period. Attached to this memo is a draft survey city staff has developed and would like to release to solicit public input on this issue. Based on discussions amongst staff, the intention of the survey is to gather input from interested residents to help form the basis of what should be included in the ordinance. In addition to the survey, staff and appointed and elected officials will likely have one on one conversations with residents. This input, too, will help guide how the ordinances is developed. SCHEDULE OF EVENTS Based on the previous schedules, staff has drafted the tentative schedule for ordinance development and adoption: November 9, 2015: Planning Commission Discussion and Direction to Staff Yard Parking ZAT CPC 11/8/15 Page 4 of 6 November 10 - December 1, 2015: Community Input Gathering December 9, 2015: Planning Commission Review of Draft Ordinance January 13, 2016: Planning Commission Public Hearing of Ordinance February 2, 2016: City Council Public Hearing of Ordinance (1st Reading) February 16, 2015: City Council Public Hearing of Ordinance (2nd Reading) COMMISSION DISCUSSION There are certain items staff is seeking direction from the Commission on: Does the Commission agree that vehicles would be defined as either: 1) any vehicle or trailer designed to be street legal (regardless whether it is currently street legal or not, and regardless whether it is currently registered/licensed or not); or 2) any self-propelled or pull -behind recreational vehicles (whether designed to be used on public streets or not) , including, but not limited to, snowmobiles, all -terrain vehicles, watercraft, golf carts. etc. How would the Commission prefer to define improved and unimproved surfaces? In June the Commission indicated they would prefer to not see this ordinance restrict the total number of vehicles properties owners may have. However, in the survey conducted by staff, some properties were noted as having more than one vehicle in the front or side yard whereas no vehicles were stored in the rear yard. Should the ordinance address the total number of vehicles stored in a front or side yard? In June the Commission indicated there would be concerns for coverage as most properties in Stillwater have a maximum coverage or maximum impervious coverage restriction. However, the installation of improved surfaces does not require a permit by the City. With no oversight of the installation of parking areas, how would the Commission prefer to address coverage limitations? Would the Commission be favorable to side yard parking when the vehicle is stored behind a fence or other screen, behind the front line of the house or garage? As Stillwater has defined corner lots as having two front yards, how would the Commission prefer to address vehicle storage on corner lots? If the ordinance is developed so that parking is required to be on an improved surface and may not be located on grass, dirt or other landscaping material in the front yard, the Commission prefer to have yard parking applicable to both residential and commercial properties? If the ordinance is developed so that parking is required to be on an improved surface and may not be located on grass, dirt or other landscaping material in the front yard, would the Commission prefer to have any exemptions (i.e. special events). Although the direction has been given regarding the parking of vehicles, would the Commission like the ordinance to address the placement of roll -off dumpsters, storage bins Yard Parking ZAT CPC 11/8/15 Page 5 of 6 or other (seemingly more temporary) facilities that could detract from the character of the neighborhood? Should vehicles over a certain length be specifically regulated in the residential districts? RECOMMENDED ACTION The Commission should discuss the aforementioned items and provide direction to staff for the development of a draft ordinance. Additionally, the Commission should review the attached draft survey for determination of whether or not questions should be added or removed. Yard Parking ZAT CPC 11/8/15 Page 6 of 6 Eric A. Solberg 2064 Oak Glen Drive Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 651-351-7552 Yard Parking in Stillwater The reason I am at the City Council meeting today is to ask the Council to consider adding an ordinance to the City Code to address an issue involving "yard parking". The following is some background information to explain the problem: In the past two years I have noticed, as many others have, a significant increase in the number of homes that have parked cars, trucks, boats, motor homes and trailers parked on their lawns. Many of the vehicles, boats and trailers are parked on the lawns for several months at a time. In some cases, years. It is my understanding that the City of Stillwater does not have an ordinance that addresses this issue. Other cities - such as Oak Park Heights, White Bear Lake, Maplewood, Woodbury, Oakdale, St. Paul and many others — do have city codes that specifically address this subject. So, why is yard parking a problem? Pictures. 1. Stillwater is a beautiful town. However, when residents permanently park on lawns it sends a message to other residents — as well as tourists — that this is acceptable. Like graffiti, yard parking is a blight. It is also a problem that has been increasing. Permanent parking of vehicles, large boats, trailers and mobile homes on lawns diminishes the character of the city. 2. People who have visited my home and driven through my neighborhood have asked me why the City of Stillwater does not have an ordinance addressing parking on lawns. In other words, people are forming negative opinions. 3. The practice of yard parking creates hostility between neighbors. Imagine how you would react if your neighbor suddenly decided to park two cars on a permanent basis in their front yard — or a 30 foot boat on the front lawn. The two examples are real examples in Stillwater today. 4. Yard parking has a direct correlation to reduced property values. If you have any doubts, please ask a realtor if yard parking impacts housing prices. So, how have other cities addressed this issue? To illustrate how other cities have addressed the issue I have researched the yard parking ordinances of 12 cities in our area and have created a table showing the name of the cities with their corresponding ordinances. I did not include very small cities since their city codes were very limited — such as Afton. Please review the information as you consider my request. Suggestion for the City Council's Consideration If the City Council determines that Stillwater should have a yard parking ordinance — similar to ones that apply in the surrounding cities — it should be sensitive to the fact that many of the residents of Stillwater have a need to park things like small boats and trailers on their property. As a suggestion for the City Council's consideration, I have drafted a proposed ordinance. My proposal is only a suggestion — I am simply trying to offer a solution instead of just a problem. Suggested city ordinance: Chapter 38 of the City of Stillwater Codes Sec. 38-1. - Generally. Subd. 2. Public nuisance 00.(new) Parking vehicles, boats, motor homes, campers and trailers on property that is not considered an improved driveway surface. In the case of single-family, two- family and townhouse dwellings, all vehicles, boats, motor homes, campers and trailers must be licensed, in operable condition and parked in a garage or on an improved driveway surface. Lawns, landscaping materials, dirt and sand are not considered improved driveway surfaces. Improved driveway surfaces include concrete, asphalt, brick or stone pavers. It also includes rock parking surfaces that have a 4 inch border, 1 1/2 inch rock or smaller and be maintained to a depth not less than 3'/2 inches. Vehicles, boats, motor homes and trailers (measured from back bumper to tongue) that are 25 feet or longer must be parked within enclosed structures or stored off -site. A minimum three-foot set back is required from property lines. On corner lots, no RV, boat or dual axle trailer parking is permitted between the right-of-way and side of the main structure. Subject to Subd. 9., abatement action for a violation of the code will be the removal of the vehicles, boats, motor homes and/or trailers.
