All in favor, 8-0. OPEN FORUM There were no public comments. PUBLIC HEARINGS Case No. 2016-01 Request for an amendment to an existing Special Use Permit for mechanical upgrades to Oak Park Elementary School, located at 6355 Osman Avenue North. BWBR, Inc., on behalf of Stillwater Area Schools, applicant. City Planner Wittman explained that the applicant is requesting an amendment to an existing Special Use Permit for the installation of a new 160 ton chiller to be located on the north side of Oak Park Elementary School. The approximately 19' long, 8' wide and 8' tall unit will be enclosed in a 36' long, 23' wide and 10' tall area. The inside of the chiller yard will contain concrete "hush quilt" material. The noise from the unit is estimated to be 43 decibels at 100 feet, well under the 55 maximum nighttime restriction for residential districts. The exterior of the enclosure will be a reinforced brick masonry product of the same color and tone as the existing structure. Staff recommends approval with one condition. Commissioner Hansen asked if there is any chance the noise would approach maximum decibel levels. Tony Willger, Operations Manager for Stillwater Area Schools, replied that according to the manufacturer, the sound deadening blankets will absorb the noise and it should not exceed the maximum decibel level. The equipment usually won't run past 4 p.m. Planning Commission January 13, 2016 Chairman Kocon opened the public hearing. Rob Sancartier, 216 Owens Street South, an HVAC service technician, questioned why the district is proposing a huge unit, spending a lot of money and working with a large company for a quick fix rather than hiring a smaller local company. He also expressed general concerns about the timing of the proposal and traffic throughout the city. Chairman Kocon closed the public hearing. Commissioners Hansen and Collins voiced support for the proposal. Motion by Commissioner Middleton, seconded by Commissioner Hansen, to recommend to the City Council that an amendment to an existing Special Use Permit for mechanical upgrades to Oak Park Elementary School, located at 6355 Osman Avenue North, be approved with the condition recommended by staff. All in favor, 8-0. Case No. 2016-02 Request for an amendment to an existing Special Use Permit for mechanical upgrades to Lily Lake Elementary School, located at 2003 West Willard Street. BWBR, Inc., on behalf of Stillwater Area Schools, applicant. City Planner Wittman explained the request. An amendment to an existing Special Use Permit is sought for the installation of a new 160 ton chiller to be located on the north side of Lily Lake Elementary School. The approximately 19' long, 8' wide and 8' tall unit will be enclosed in a 36' long, 24' wide and 10' tall area. The inside of the chiller yard will contain concrete "hush quilt" material. The installation would result in a loss of parking spaces; however there would still be a surplus of 49 spaces more than required. The structure would 100 feet from the nearest residential property line. The estimated noise would be 43 decibels at 100 feet. The exterior of the enclosure will be a reinforced brick masonry product with the same color and tone as the existing structure. Staff recommends approval with one condition. Commissioner Siess asked how Lily Lake staff feels about the proposal. Mr. Willger replied he had heard no concerns voiced by school staff. Commissioner Middleton asked if multiple rooftop units were considered. Mr. Willger replied yes, but it would have presented more sound concerns. Chairman Kocon opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Siess stated whenever there is an event at Lily Lake school, the parking situation is awful and there are no appropriate places to park in surrounding neighborhoods. She said she opposes the proposal due to the reduction of seven parking spaces. Chairman Kocon responded that the Downtown Parking Commission sets parking requirements which are met under the proposal. Motion by Commissioner Lauer, seconded by Commissioner Hade, to recommend to the City Council that an amendment to an existing Special Use Permit for mechanical upgrades to Lily Lake Elementary Page2of7 Planning Commission January 13, 2016 School, located at 2003 West Willard Street, be approved with the condition recommended by staff. Motion passed 7-1 with Commissioner Siess voting nay. Case No. 2016-03 Request for an amendment to an existing Special Use Permit for mechanical upgrades to Stillwater Junior High School, located at 523 Marsh Street West. BWBR, Inc., on behalf of Tony Willger, Stillwater Area Schools, applicant. City Planner Wittman explained that the applicant is requesting an amendment to an existing Special Use Permit for the installation of a new 160 ton chiller to be located on the north side of Stillwater Junior High. The approximately 19' long, 8' wide and 8' tall unit will be enclosed in a 59' long, 25' wide and 10' tall area. The inside of the chiller yard will contain concrete "hush quilt" material. The exterior of the enclosure will be a reinforced brick masonry product with the same color and tone as the existing structure. The nearest residential property lines are more than 500 feet away. The installation of the improvement will necessitate the removal of five parking spaces on the east side of a 14-stall parking lot. The applicant is proposing retaining the western stalls in an angled fashion. The proposed configuration of these parking spaces does not meet the City's design requirements, therefore staff has determined there will be a net loss of 11 parking spaces. Despite the reduction in parking spaces, there will still be a surplus of nine parking spaces. Staff recommends approval with one condition. Commissioner Siess recalled a lot of community concerns about traffic that were related to the ECFE center. Mr. Willger stated the District has not explored replacing the lost parking spaces because it would cause loss of green space. Motion by Commissioner Hansen, seconded by Commissioner Collins, to recommend to the City Council that an amendment to an existing Special Use Permit for mechanical upgrades to Stillwater Junior High, located at 523 Marsh Street West, be approved with the condition recommended by staff. Motion passed 7-1, with Commissioner Siess voting nay. Case No. 2016-04 Consideration of adoption of new regulations pertaining to parking vehicles on yard areas. City of Stillwater, applicant. City Planner Wittman summarized discussions from the last few meetings. She reviewed modifications to City Code proposed by staff as a result of the discussions and direction by the City Council. She also presented a legislative version for a complete description of all modifications proposed. She noted the City Council has a public hearing scheduled for February 2. Ms. Wittman also stated that the concept of establishing a permitting process for driveways was discussed with Public Works Director Sanders; Mr. Sanders felt that a permit process may be a good idea, but the City would need to establish driveway standards first. Commissioner Hansen asked if the proposed ordinance includes a definition of the allowable surfaces. He said if the City begins requiring permits for driveways based on design standards, then he thinks the standards should include some options for pervious material for driveways. Chairman Kocon opened the public hearing. Rob Sancartier, 216 Owens Street South, spoke in opposition to the proposed regulations. He feels strongly that it infringes on property owners' rights to own vehicles and work on them in their own Page 3of7 Planning Commission January 13, 2016 yards, especially those who cannot afford to rent space to park them elsewhere. He feels there is too much governmental control in general. Jim Hansen, 1303 Fifth Avenue South, asked why concrete or bituminous are required, but not gravel which is more pervious. He has gravel alongside his house and has not had a problem with runoff. He voiced complaints about lack of City communication about the issue. Eric Solberg, 2064 Oak Glen Drive, stated the proposed ordinance doesn't appear to address the issue of vehicle size. He suggested establishing a maximum size for a parking stall which would limit the size of the vehicle it could accommodate. He also asked how the ordinance would apply to existing situations, whether they would be grandfathered in. Ms. Wittman replied that existing non -compliant parking areas would be in violation of the ordinance. Mr. Solberg went on to state he feels there is still a need to consider Class 5 surfaces as there are a number of properties that currently have Class 5 driveways. He also said that permits without standards are useless. Natalie Seum, 2160 Oak Glen Trail, agreed with Mr. Solberg's comments. She expressed concerns about her property value because her sunroom faces a property with a boat covered by a huge tarp. Katie Friend, 1901 Oak Glen Lane, related that her neighbors have a giant motorhome that blocks her view. She is worried about property values and feels the current proposal does not address the size of vehicles. Steve Zoller, 2316 Oakridge Road, recognized that some RV owners are responsible in trying to lessen the impacts on neighbors. He went through great expense to get his own motorhome off the street and bought a cover for it to match his house so it would blend in. He has not drawn a complaint in six years. Dan Fabian, 326 South Sixth Street, stated his driveway is on the property line, so he is concerned about possibly being required to move his driveway in the future, or to obtain a permit or variance. He feels if the issue isn't a big problem, the City should be careful not to take away personal property rights. He recognized Class 5 is not much more pervious than asphalt, but there are other pervious surfaces to consider. John Colburn, 224 Willow Street East, stated that his property has no backyard; he owns a boat and small RV so they must be in the side yard. He reiterated concerns about property owners' rights, as expressed by Mr. Fabian and Mr. Zoller. He feels that adopting the proposed regulations would be akin to adding covenants. He asked the Commission to consider allowing parking on pavers, pea rock and other surfaces. He has researched case law offering definitions of visual blight, and noted that other cities have stayed away from this issue. Tammy Olson, 1710 North Broadway, said she is very concerned about lack of City communication about the hearing. She asked the Commission to consider unique properties and not over -regulate. She would like to be able to manage her property as she feels best. Todd Reich, 422 Pine Tree Trail, noted he paid $850 for a water project to stop runoff. He feels the City would be going backward by allowing pads. He finds long grass plantings at corners more offensive than any trailers he has seen. Page 4 of 7 Planning Commission January 13, 2016 Chairman Kocon closed the public hearing. The meeting was recessed at 8:50 p.m. and reconvened at 8:55 p.m. City Planner Wittman explained the process used to survey residents, and summarized the public outreach that was done, including sending press releases to all local papers, advertising the public input survey, discussing it at the Commission's November and December meetings, and sending notice of the survey through the City's direct email system to 660 individuals who signed up for community notices. 297 survey responses were received. 20% indicated they do park or have parked on their lawns. 54% said they did not think yard parking was a problem, but 61 % still wanted to see it regulated. 78 respondents stated front yard parking should be regulated. About half indicated side yard parking or backyard parking should be regulated. Chairman Kocon recapped comments received during the public hearing, and reminded the audience that the Council will make the final decision on the ordinance. He feels other pervious surfaces should be allowed such as gravel. Commissioner Middleton spoke about alternative surfaces that he would like to include and encourage. Commissioner Hansen agreed that pervious surfaces should be allowed. He pointed out that the Council requested an ordinance be drafted to regulate yard parking. He feels pavers are a good solution, but that doesn't eliminate the issue of yard parking. Councilmember Menikheim informed the Commission that initially, a citizen approached the Council about visual blight and aesthetics of yard parking. He feels the Commission's discussions will give the Council a larger knowledge base. Commissioner Middleton said it seems the Commission is trying to address blight by using a code to regulate surfaces. The issue that the Commission spoke about in December at length was the aesthetic of vehicles being parked in yards. Commissioner Fletcher said she feels there are competing goals - an aesthetically beautiful historic city, and the water quality of rivers and streams. She agrees that the ordinance as proposed may not be optimizing the best of both goals. Commissioner Hansen concluded there are people who want to have RVs on their property, and people who don't want to look at them; they are both right in what they're saying. There is nothing the City can do that will make both groups happy. He suggested addressing the issue in smaller bites to see what can be done to improve what is being proposed, without going in one direction or the other direction. He reiterated that the regulations should allow for other types of improved surfaces. Chairman Kocon said he is not a complete fan of what is in front of the Commission but he feels the Commission can play with it. Commissioner Hade stated he feels the permit process should be included in the regulations because it would allow projects requiring variances the opportunity for public input. Commissioner Hansen suggested using something like a permeability rating by which to measure compliance in terms of surface used. He would like to attach a quantifiable number to the definition, retaining the ability to establish a range and have a variance to it. Page 5 of 7 Planning Commission January 13, 2016 Chairman Kocon responded he feels the Commission is confusing improved with impervious. An improved and an impervious surface might both meet the standards. He prefers to use the word improved - for instance, requiring that an improved surface may not exceed 50% of the front yard area, defining what is an improved surface, including what is considered compliant when pavers are used, how much sand and gravel, and so on. Commissioner Middleton noted if the Commission as a group is alright with 50% coverage for improved surface, does it matter whether it's pervious or impervious? The problem is that the technology is changing so rapidly that it's difficult to find appropriate language that would not require a variance every time someone wants to do something out of the norm. Ms. Wittman suggested if concrete and asphalt have zero permeability and the City wants to encourage surfaces that allow water to drain through, then the City can establish an acceptable range to be considered an improved surface. She summarized that the Commission wants to expand requirements from concrete and asphalt, and to allow for more pervious surfaces based on a measure of permeability which needs to be brought back to the Commission. Commissioner Middleton said he feels that measuring permeability is a slippery slope; in other words, if there is already a 50% maximum improved surface allowed in the front yard, why try to quantify the permeability rate; if concrete is allowable, what difference does it make what the permeability of any other surface is? Chairman Kocon said he is more interested in the durability of a surface and how it stands up, than its permeability. He feels the standards should be drafted to ensure durability. The Commission should expand the definition of allowable surface to include gravel, pavers, and the pavers that are diamond shaped that include gravel. That would provide more options for residents. Commissioner Hansen recognized he is the only Commissioner who doesn't want a permit requirement for driveways. If there is a permit requirement, then he is not comfortable limiting the allowed surface to only those options the Commission can think of tonight, because there are a lot of new products coming out. He would like to ensure there is a way to obtain a variance. City Planner Wittman reminded the Commission that the variance process requires something measurable to which a variance can be granted. Commissioner Siess stated she is on the fence about requiring permits for driveways. Motion by Commissioner Middleton, seconded by Commissioner Hade, to table consideration of adoption of new regulations pertaining to parking vehicles on yard areas and direct staff to develop standards for pavers and gravel, and to develop some sort of measurable indicator for the potential allowance of variances. All in favor, 8-0. NEW BUSINESS Case No. 2014-13 Request for an extension on a Special Use Permit for construction of a sculpture near the front entrance of Our Saviors Lutheran Church, located at 1616 Olive Street West. Gwen Johnson, representing Our Saviors Lutheran Church, applicant. Page 6 of 7 Planning Commission January 13, 2016 City Planner Wittman explained that in May 2014, the Planning Commission gave conditional approval for the installation of a sculpture to be located on the Our Saviors Lutheran Church property. The property owner acknowledges that the sculpture will not be installed prior to the expiration of the Special Use Permit issued nearly two years ago, and therefore has requested an extension. Staff recommends approval of a one-year extension. Motion by Commissioner Hade, seconded by Chairman Kocon, to approve a one-year extension to the Special Use Permit issued to Our Saviors Lutheran Church, 1616 Olive Street West, for installation of a sculpture. All in favor, 8-0. UNFINISHED BUSINESS There was no unfinished business. STAFF UPDATES Public Hearing Notification In light of residents' complaints about not being notified about the public hearing on yard parking, Commissioner Hansen asked if staff could explore additional options for communicating with the public. He acknowledged the numerous methods the City already uses to inform residents. City Planner Wittman replied staff can explore additional options for communicating. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Commissioner Middleton, seconded by Commissioner Hansen, to adjourn the meeting at 9:56 p.m. All in favor, 8-0. Respectfully Submitted, Julie Kink Recording Secretary Page 7 of 7 Uwater THE OIFITHPTACE OF MINNESOTA. PLANNING REPORT MEETING DATE: February 10, 2016 CASE NO.: 2016-6 APPLICANT: Matt Twomey, representing Gopher REO, LLC, property owner REQUEST: Request for a Zoning Text Amendment to allow for Senior Care Living Facilities to be located in the Townhouse (TH) Zoning District by Special Use Permit ZONING: TH-Townhouse COMP PLAN DISTRICT: MDR -Medium Density Res. PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner APPLICANT REQUEST Matt Twomey has applied for a Zoning Text Amendment to allow for Senior Care Living Facilities to be permitted by Special Use Permit in the Townhouse (TH) Zoning District. The applicant currently has three contiguous Townhouse zoned parcels under contract. If the Zoning Text Amendment were approved, he would then proceed with the Special Use Permit process for the Commission's consideration of a Senior Care Living Facility on the parcels located at 1167 Parkwood Lane and 6322 Stillwater Boulevard North. While the applicant has submitted concept plans for the future development of the aforementioned parcels, these are not for the Commissions consideration at this time. The application before the Commission is whether or not Senior Living Care Facilities should be permitted by Special Use Permit on all Townhouse (TH) zoned parcels. The attached map depicts the Zoning Districts and Future Land Use Classifications for parcels where Senior Care Living Facilities are allowed by SUP/CUP which will help guide the Commission in understanding where Senior Living Care Facilities may be developed, which of these parcels have been developed, and what lands may become available for development of Senior Living Care Facilities in the future. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Municipal Code Section 31-205, Zoning Map and Zoning Text Amendment, indicates amendments may be made when public necessity, the general community welfare and good zoning practice permit the amendment. The following findings must be made before an amendment to the zoning map or text is made: ■ That the public necessity, and the general community welfare are furthered; and • That the proposed amendment is in general conformance with the principles, policies and land use designations set forth in the comprehensive plan. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan Chapter 4, Housing, indicates that seniors made up 12% of the community's population. And, demographic trends suggest that the metro area will see an increased demand for senior and elder care facilities. Currently there are three skilled nursing facilities in the City of Stillwater: Golden Living Center Greeley (313 Greeley Street South) which contains 70 beds, Golden Living Center Linden (105 Linden Street West) which contains 67 beds, and Good Sam Society (1119 Owens Street North) which has 91 beds. Additionally, there are two 'Housing with Services' licenses within the City limits: Home Free at 6450 Panama Avenue and PSC at Orleans Homes at 1455 Cottage Drive. These facilities will not be able to provide the increased demand for senior housing over the next several decades. The Comprehensive Plan indicates the following in relationship to senior housing and assisted living: Policy 4. Attempt to disburse assisted housing throughout the community. Policy 5. Locate assisted housing near transit lines and public parks. Policy 9. Utilize the Future Land Use map to designate residential sites appropriately located for a range of housing densities. Program 3: Attempt to meet regional lifecycle housing goals for the City of Stillwater. STAFF ANALYSIS Existing Zoning Code Provision In determining whether a proposed use will fit within a zoning district, the Commission should first be aware that the proposed use will need to conform to all provisions of the underlying Townhouse (TH) zoning district. Staff has attached the provisions for the TH Zoning District for the Commissions reference. It should additionally be noted that as the applicant has proposed Senior Care Living Facilities to be permitted by Special Use Permit, this would allow for individual review of each new Senior Care Living Facility in a Planning Commission public hearing prior to the approval of the new development. Therefore, even if the ZAT was approved, the Commission would have site -specific development review and the opportunities for public input would occur. The Townhouse (TH) Zoning District is a residential district which allows for single family dwellings as a permitted use with attached, single family dwellings or townhouses by Special Use Permit. No other residential uses or institutional uses are permitted in this district. However, the City has allowed for code modifications to authorize this type of housing option in residential areas to provide for housing options for seniors and elders who would like to continue to live within the community. All TH zoned lands are depicted on the attached map. Aside from the parcels Mr. Twomey would like to develop, there are five small parcels (already platted and developed with townhomes) in the nearby vicinity. Case No. 2016-6 CPC: 2/10/2016 Page 2 of 4 Senior Housing Care Facilities are allowed by Special Use Permit in the Lakeshore Residential (LR) zoning district as well as the Medium Density Residential (RCM) zoning district. As the attached map indicates, all RCM zoned lands are developed. Currently there are three parcels zoned Lakeshore Residential (LR) that have a total combined area of 11.216 acres. Of these parcels, 4.590 acres are owned by Grace Baptist Church and currently contain the church building and parking lot. Therefore, 6.626 acres of land in the City of Stillwater are eligible to be developed for Senior Housing. This is .001 % of the total land area of the City. Comprehensive Plan: Policies and Programs The approval of the proposed ZAT would enable the City to continue to meet the community's policies and programs for assisted and lifecycle housing needs within Stillwater. Comprehensive Plan: Land Use and Density In approving a ZAT to allow for Senior Care Housing Facilities to be located by Special Use Permit in the Townhouse (TH) Zoning District, the use of the property would remain consistent with the Future Land Use Plan of allowing for residential housing to be developed in residential areas. As the Townhouse (TH) zoning district has been determined to be consistent with the Medium Density Residential (MDR) future land use class on the Future Land Use map, those lands could be developed with the Townhouse (TH) base zoning in the future. This could allow an additional 70 acres to be eligible for the development of Senior Care Living Facilities. This would represent .015 % of the total land area of the City. The Townhouse (TH) zoning district has been identified as having a density of 8.7 units per acre. But, so long as an application for a Senior Care Living Facility can meet the underlying zoning requirements (including, but not limited to, setbacks, height, off-street parking, open space, onsite stormwater treatment, etc.), it would not have to be limited to the density of a standard residential development. . PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT TWOMEY PROJECT While not for the Commission's consideration at this time (since site specific discussions are tied to the use permit hearings), staff would like to make a few notes regarding the applicant's desire to develop a Senior Care Living Facility at the 1167 Parkwood Lane and 6322 Stillwater Boulevard North. • The property is bordered by Townhouse (TH) zoned lands to the south north, and single-family (RA) to the west. • The underlying zoning is currently Townhouse (TH). On this (approximately) 1.5 acre tract of land, a minimum of 13 townhome units could be built. o So long as the development was able to achieve all other zoning code requirements pertaining to setbacks, off-street parking, stormwater treatment, etc., the City may consider greater density alternatives for senior living projects. • Senior Care Living Facilities, though not defined in the Zoning Code, have been determined to include memory care, assisted living and independent living alternatives. Mr. Twomey's intention is develop a memory care and assisted living facility. Since Case No. 2016-6 CPC: 2/10/2016 Page 3 of 4 these residents do not drive, the traffic impact to the neighborhood would be limited to staff and visitors. ALTERNATIVES, FINDINGS, AND RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission has the following options available: 1. Recommend that the City Council approve Zoning Text Amendment 2016-6 allowing for Senior Care Living Facilities in the Townhouse (TH) zoning district. 2. Recommend that the City Council deny the requested ordinance amendment. 3. Table consideration for more information. Staff finds that greater lifecycle housing options in a greater number of zoning districts is in the public interest, and the general community welfare are furthered by allowing for Senior Living Care Facilities in the Townhouse (TH) zoning district. Staff further finds the proposed 2016-6 zoning text amendment is in general conformance with the principles, policies and land use designations set forth in the comprehensive plan. Therefore, staff would recommend the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council.

This zoning amendment application is for three contiguous parcels that total about 1.5 acres and have frontage on Parkwood Lane and Stillwater Blvd. I have these three parcels under contract and am ultimately seeking to build an assisted living/memory care facility called Cornerstone Senior Home. Although senior living facilities are not currently permitted in the townhouse district, I have chosen to submit this application because I feel that it is a reasonable use in this district and that the impact to the surrounding neighborhood would not be any greater than if townhomes were built on the site. I also looked into how this zoning amendment would affect other neighborhoods in Stillwater with the same townhouse zoning and I thought that there was no other land that could possibly be developed into a senior living facility. I have provided the enclosed concept plan to show the scale of the project and to give a general representation of how the proposed facility will sit on the property. I have also provided sample pictures of comparable facilities in the metro area that show the style and scale of my proposed building. Upon completion, the proposed facility will be roughly 22,000 square feet with 35-40 total beds. It will be a one story, slab on grade building with the same quality of exterior materials and design elements as shown in the pictures of comparable properties. The finished project will fully comply with the requirements of the Stillwater Ordinance for engineering design and architectural design. I also want to clarify that this building will be strictly assisted living and memory care, not independent living units which have a higher percentage of residents driving vehicles. The concept plan and pictures of comparable properties are simply to give an idea of what I ultimately want todowith the property. If the zoning amendment is approved and if -it sounds like my project is favorable to the city, then I plan to move forward with the full engineering and architectural design in order to submit an application for the conditional use permit.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE: February 10, 2016 CASE NO.: 2015-7 APPLICANT: Alex Polacek, representing Jeff Polacek, property owner REQUEST: Consideration of a 15'variance to the 30' Front Yard Setback [City Code Section 31-308(b)(1)] from Willard Street West for the construction of a 576 square garage to the property located at 803 Willard Street West ZONING: RB: Two Family COMP PLAN DISTRICT: LMDR: Low/Medium Density PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner REQUEST Alex Polacek is request a 15' variance to the required 30' front yard setback for garages. As the applicant indicates, the property is currently for sale and it is the desire of the future buyer to demolish the existing single car garage, which sits (approximately) eight feet (8') from the front property line, and replace it with a new two -car garage. While the application indicates the garage would be moved to the south from where the existing garage is located, the new garage would not conform to the zoning setbacks for garages in this district. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS AND ANALYSIS The purpose of the variance is to "...allow variation from the strict application of the terms of the zoning code where the literal enforcement...would cause practical difficulties for the landowner." In addition to the requirements, below, Section 31-208 indicates "[n]onconforming uses or neighboring lands, structures or buildings in the same district or other districts may not be considered grounds for issuance of a variance" and "...a previous variance must not be considered to have set a precedent for the granting of further variances. Each case must be considered on its merits." Section 31-208 further indicates: • Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. • A previous variance must not be considered to have set a precedent for the granting of further variances. Each case must be considered on its merits. The applicant must demonstrate that: The variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this chapter. The general purpose and intent of the Zoning Code is to regulate and restrict use of land for the protection of public health, safety and welfare. The purposes of the Front Yard Setback are in part to maintain an open, unoccupied and uniform space for aesthetic and environmental benefits which would preserve a uniform streetscape in residential neighborhoods. Garages in the City's historic neighborhoods are encouraged to be in the rear of properties, but in any event to be set back behind the front line of the home. These locations put the streetscape's visual emphasis on the house, rather than the garage. While the property owner is proposing to move the garage seven feet (7') further to the south than the existing garage, the new garage will still be located in front of the front facade of the residence. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the following applicable to this request: • Retain the unique and/or historic character of existing residential neighborhoods (Chapter 4, Housing - Objective) • Incorporate into decisions the designed historic contexts as the official overview of the history and development of the City of Stillwater (Chapter 5, Historic Resources - Program) The applicant for the variance establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with this chapter. "Practical difficulties," as use in connection with the granting of a variance, means that all of the following must be found to apply: The property owner proposes to use the land in a reasonable manner for a use permitted in the zone where the land is located, but the proposal is not permitted by other official controls; While the property contains a garage, the size of the garage is not sufficient for the future buyer. It is reasonable to have a two -car garage on this property. While the applicant has acknowledged that alternatives exist for the property that would not require a variance, it has been indicated that those locations are not desirable. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property and that are not created by the landowner; and There are no uniqueness with this property as the construction of a two -car garage could be placed on the property in conformance with the Zoning Code setback provisions. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. While the existing garage is located in front of the front facade of the structure, this is uncommon along this street. No property along Willard Street West has a garage in front of the front facade of the home. While the applicant has submitted four photos supporting the application, two of these (located over a block away, on Greely) were Case No. 2016-7 CPC: 2/10/2016 Page 2 of 3 constructed prior to the development of the City's Neighborhood Conservation District (NCD) while the other two (on Martha) are set back at or behind the front facade of the neighboring residential structure. As the and Zoning Code and NCD promote a house dominant streetscape pattern, the removal of this structure and replacement of a larger structure, that is continued to be not in conformance with the setback provisions, would further alter the character of the locality. ALTERNATIVES The Planning Commission has the following options: 1. Make the finding that practical difficulties do exist for the property owner and approve a 15'variance to the 30' Front Yard Setback [City Code Section 31-308(b)(1)] from Willard Street West for the construction of a 576 square garage to the property located at 803 Willard Street West, with or without conditions. The Planning Commission may impose conditions in the granting of a variance. A condition must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance. If the Commission were to find practical difficulties do exist for the property owner, staff would recommend the following conditions: a. Plans shall be substantially similar to those on file with the Community Development Department's Case No. 2016-7. b. A building permit shall be reviewed and approved prior to the demolition of the existing structure and construction of a new structure. c. The garage will have similar color and materials as the residence. d. Major exterior modifications to the variance permit request shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission as per Section 31-204, Subd. 7. 2. Make the finding that practical difficulties have not been established and deny the variance. 3. Table the application and request additional information. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION On the basis that the application is not in harmony with the intent of the zoning ordinance, is not consistent with the comprehensive plan and the applicant has not established practical difficulty, staff recommends denial of the variance request.

The new garage will consist of 2x4 construction, shingled roof and have a single 16`x18' door and 30" side door. The attached plans show the proposed garage sitting on the north west corner of the property. This placement will allow for a clear and easy pathway from the garage side door, across the patio and to south entrance to the home. The 15 foot set back is ideal for this property as further set back would cover the majority of the backyard area and make access to the back door of the home more difficult. Placing the garage in the proposed position will also make any electrical work fairly simple as the electrical service is at the north west corner of the home. Currently there is a man interested in purchasing the property. The buyer is of retirement age and therefore, placing the garage in the southwest corner of the home would not work for him. As an older man he requires a short and clear path between the home and garage. The zoning office had suggested placing the garage with access from Martha street. Unfortunately this is not a feasible option for two reasons. First; placing the garage to the south east of the property would leave access into the home at the opposite end of the property from the garage. Second; there is not enough clearance between the home and the fence/property line to accommodate a 2 car garage (there is only 22' between the back of the house and the fence). Along with this letter an aerial drawing, front facing drawing, aerial picture and a few pictures of garages in the area have been included. The pictures have been included to show that the proposed garage is not out of character for the neighborhood. Each picture is of a garage within 3 blocks of the property, including one directly across Martha St. from the property. https://mail.g oog le.com/mail/u/0/#search/abbi/150710eea66c9e51?projector=1 1/1 F-Fmr—e- 146k)sil. 11' \1\\\sKfA „,r4, („) ( irt-7)1 1.17 Tgee - Pi20061214 L-x Jod_77 Lol- 5-12E o 1S" liSI l/l MIS aN►m1M f08 6ud.t,00a ban! -Jobe foid� l gagoggeeeo ILo9l/!99e/yo.eas#/0/n/I iew/woo-a l boo 6° l iew//: stiq 9L0Z/bl/l https-//mai I.g oog Ie.com/mai I/u/0/#i nbox/1523e8494de1 e06b?proj ector=1 1/1 https://mail.google.com/mail/u/O/Anbox/1523e8494dele06b?projector=1 1/1 1/14/2016 photo 3.JPG !"i PrZOPPITy https://mai I ,g oog I e.com`mai I /u/0/-A nbox/1523e8494de1 e06b?prof ector=1 1/1 Uwater THE OIFITHPTACE OF MINNESOTA. PLANNING REPORT MEETING DATE: February 10, 2016 CASE NO.: 2016-9 APPLICANT: Keith Messinger, representing Lakeview Health Systems REQUEST: Request for a Special Use Permit to operate a sleep study center in the office structure located at 850 Churchill Street West ZONING: RB-Two Family COMP PLAN DISTRICT: LMDR-Low/Medium Density PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner INTRODUCTION In June 2013 the City Council approved a Special Use Permit for Lakeview Memorial Hospital to operate administrative offices out of the structure located at 850 Churchill Street West, which was formerly occupied by the First Church of Christ Science. A condition of approval was to allow for the structure to be used as "...an accessory business office..." and that "No patient related care functions are permitted." APPLICANT REQUEST The applicant is requesting a new Special Use Permit to allow for the conversion of the existing hospital office building into a sleep study center, a service currently provided for within the hospital. The sleep study center would provide four bedrooms whereas the hospitals current operations only include two rooms. The facility would be open six days a week and employ no greater than six staff members each day: three in the morning, for the day shift; two in the evening, for the night shift; and an additional staff to provide for other services (such as cleaning, laundry and/or food service). An estimated total of 10-12 patients to be seen each day with a maximum of 4 patients to be onsite at night. While laundry delivery is expected for 5:30 am, two times weekly, the staff will not be at the facility until 7:00 am. Patient services will begin at 8:00 am. Patients for evening treatment will arrive at 7:30 pm. To accommodate these services, the property will be modified in the following way: • Interior renovation to accommodate four patient rooms with adjoin restroom for each patient, five rooms for hospital staffing needs, as well as a consultation room and lobby area. • A 56 square foot enclosed vestibule is proposed to be added at the existing entrance. • A new door, and associated retaining wall, will be located on the west facade of the structure to accommodate emergency exiting. A concrete walkway will connect this exit to an existing walkway. • A 147 square foot (12.5' X 11.75') roofed enclosure is proposed to be added to the north of the building, approximately 6' from the building and 30' from the north property line. The enclosure will have a brick masonry wall, having the same appearance as the existing structure. Acoustical louvres are proposed to be installed on the enclosure. o The enclosure is designed to house a air-cooled heat pump which will be used to control heating, cooling and ventilation of each of the sleeping rooms as well as staff and common areas. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS AND STAFF ANALYSIS Municipal Code Section 31-207 indicates the following must be determined by the Planning Commission prior to the issuance of a Special Use Permit: (1) The proposed structure or use conforms to the requirements and the intent of this chapter, and of the comprehensive plan, relevant area plans and other lawful regulations; Zoning Ordinance - City Code Section 31-315, Allowable Uses in Residential Districts, indicates hospitals are permitted by Special Use Permit in the RB - Two Family District. The SUP must be approved by the City Council. While the aforementioned section addresses hospitals, clinics are not uses permitted by Special Use Permit in any residential district. However, as sleep studies are currently occurring in the hospital, staff has determined this use to be a hospital - related function and to be consistent with the Zoning Code provisions. Additionally, Section 31-510, Off-street Parking and Loading, indicates one space for every two beds and one for each employee on shift shall be required. However, as four patients will be treated at the same time, and a maximum of four staff may be onsite, no less than eight (8) parking spaces shall be required for this use. The property currently has 18 parking spaces delineated. Comprehensive Plan - The Comprehensive Plan identifies the following applicable to this request: ■ Enhance the livability of residential areas through development controls and the provisions of public facilities and services to meet the needs of the neighborhood (Chapter 4, Housing - Objective) ■ Retain the unique and/or historic character of existing residential neighborhoods (Chapter 4, Housing - Objective) • Assist local industries to prosper and grow in the community consistent with the city's needs (Chapter 7, Economic Development - Policy) Relevant Area Plans - While the property is located in the Neighborhood Conservation District (NCD), there are no changes proposed to this non-residential Case No. 2016-9 CPC: 2/10/2016 Page 2 of 4 structure which would be in conflict with the provisions for existing non-residential structures the NCD. (2) Any additional conditions necessary for the public interest have been imposed. As the existing Special Use Permit specifically prohibits patient care functions in this building, staff has determined certain conditions should be considered and addresses them in the following section. (3) The use or structure will not constitute a nuisance or be detrimental to the public welfare of the community. City Code Section 38-3, Noise Control and Regulation, indicates the property must conform to the L50 Standard noise provisions in residential districts: 60 dBA during the daytime and 50 dBA at night. Based on equipment manufacturer specifications, the noise generated from the ground level mechanical equipment will be 46 dBA which conforms to the applicable regulations. ALTERNATIVES, FINDINGS, AND RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission has the following options available: 1. Recommend that the City Council approve the Special Use Permit with the following conditions: a. The facility shall not be advertised as a clinic. b. Sleep study services shall be the only patient care services allowed onsite. c. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the two existing lots shall be combined into one lot. d. The exterior facade of the enclosure, vestibule and retaining wall shall be of the same or complimentary color and tone as the existing building facade. e. Onsite parking shall be reserved for the sleep center patients and staff. A sign, in conformance with City Code Section 31-509, Sign Regulations, shall be installed on the property designating the parking designation. f. Sign permits shall be obtained prior to the installation of any required or desired signage. g. The property owner shall secure the necessary building (including mechanical and plumbing) and electrical permits prior to any interior or exterior site alterations. h. The permit is not transferrable to another agency without prior approval by the City Council. i. The project shall be completed according to the plans on file with the Community Development Department. 2. Recommend that the City Council deny the Special Use Permit. 3. Table the request for more information. Staff finds that if the above stated conditions are met, the proposed use will be substantially similar to hospital uses, will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and will not create Case No. 2016-9 CPC: 2/10/2016 Page 3 of 4 extraordinary impacts upon the surrounding residential neighborhood. Therefore, staff would recommend the Planning Commission make a recommendation of conditional approval to the City Council.

The Centers for Disease Control has linked poor sleep behaviors to hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, depression and obesity. To help patients improve their quality of sleep and overall health, Lakeview Hospital opened a sleep center in 2009. Since it's opening, the sleep center has seen a significant increase in the number of patients needing treatment for sleep disorders. From 2012 to 2014, patients have increased from 214 to 446 per-yeu With limited space inside our hospital, we are at maximum capacity for assisting our community members with sleep disorders. As a solution to better serve the growing demand of patients with sleep disorders in our community, we would like to expand our sleep department into an off -site hospital building (850 Churchill Street W, Stillwater, MN). Over the past several years, this building has been used as an office space for 20+ employees and company vendors per day. This renovation would create a stand-alone sleep center for the community. It would grow our sleep center from two bedrooms to four bedrooms, which results in the ability to treat an additional 145 patients per year. It would take this care out of the hospital into a more comfortable outpatient setting designed specifically for this treatment. Benefits of this building renovation would include; • A decrease in traffic and noise from 20+ employees and company vendors per day to approximately 12 employees and patients per day • An increase in noise control with exterior landscaping renovation • An increase in capacity to provide additional sleep testing and treatment for the growing number of people in our community with sleep disorders • An improved experience for those individuals needing this important assessment and treatment Treating sleep apnea contributes to the improvement of our population's health. Patients with sleep disorders, who are properly referred, complete testing and initiate therapy will notice an improvement in their overall health. Patients will achieve higher productivity in the work setting, have less distracted driving, eat healthier and have less systemic health complications. To help improve the health and lives of our community members, we ask for approval by this committee to use the Churchill Street building as an outpatient sleep center.

Tests on non-drainable louvers have shown that the point of beginning water penetration for 4 and 6 inch deep louvers usually occurs at between 600 and 800 FPM free area velocity In addition, the total amounts of water penetration for non-drainable louvers significantly higher in comparison to drainable louvers when intake velocities exceed the 600 to 800 FPM range. Because of these characteristics, C/S recommends that drainable blade louvers be used for air intake applications whenever water entrainment must be minimized. In addition, we suggest that non- drainable louver air intake velocities be held to 600 FPM through the free area This will help to limit significant water penetration during times of average rain conditions.

PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner BACKGROUND Over the last few months the Planning Commission has been working on draft regulations that would fulfill the direction of the City Council to address the parking of vehicles on yards. At the Commission's last regularly -scheduled meeting the Commission held a public hearing regarding potential modifications to the City Code which would restrict parking of vehicles on yard areas, define designated parking areas on properties, and identify improved surfacing requirements for designated parking areas. In the public hearing, the Commission received public testimony regarding the proposed amendments. After closing the public hearing the Commission discussed the draft ordinance and provided direction for staff to develop: 1. A standard for the installation of pavers for off-street parking spaces. 2. A standard for the installation of gravel off-street parking spaces. 3. A provision to allow for variation of the material for off-street parking spaces and driveways. PROPOSED ORDINANCE AND COMMISSION DISCUSSION Staff is proposing the attached modifications to the City Code pertaining to the standards and regulations for parking on yard areas; please see the legislative version for a complete description of all modifications proposed. As the Commission will notice, the proposed ordinance does not address parking pads, maximum parking pad size nor any specific reference to where a parking pad may be located. In drafting the ordinance, staff aimed to work within the existing off-street parking and loading regulations to the greatest extent possible. In doing this, staff was able to make minimal modifications to the regulations while meeting the direction of the City Council. Attached to this memo is a legislative version of City Code Section 31-510, Off-street parking regulations. As directed by the Commission, staff has added in the following based on the Commission direction: • Provisions for the maintenance of existing gravel drivewaysl; and • Standards for the construction of paver driveways and off-street parking facilities; and • Standards for the construction for gravel off-street parking facilities1; and • A provision to allow for alternative materials by approval of the Public Works Director; and • Maintenance of a driveway that is not in conformance with the side yard setback has been added. This would allow for existing driveways to be maintained as they are. However, this will not allow for the expansion of the nonconformity (i.e. to go closer to the property line. As previously indicated to the Commission, the draft ordinance does also include the creation of a driveway permit. Details of what would be required for the driveway permit approval do not need to be codified. However, if the provision for driveway permits is adopted, a modification to the City's fee schedule will need to be made. Additionally, it has yet to be determined how the driveway permit process will be implemented. The Commission should discuss whether or not the proposed ordinance addresses the concerns of the Commission. In doing so, the Commission may opt to reopen the public hearing and take further public comment. The Commission should take action on the proposed ordinance. ALTERNATIVES The Commission may: 1. Find the public necessity and the general community welfare warrant the adoption of the amendment, the amendment is in general conformance with the principles and policies set forth in the comprehensive plan and any adopted area or specific plan, and provide a favorable recommendation of approval of the draft ordinance, as written, to the City Council. 2. Provide a favorable recommendation of approval of the draft ordinance, with specific modifications, to the City Council. 3. Table consideration of the draft Ordinance and direct staff to modify the ordinance to be brought back before the Commission at their next regularly scheduled meeting. ATTACHMENTS Legislative Version City Code Proposed Ordinance 2016 1 It should further be noted this standard was determined to be sufficient to Public Works Director Sanders despite not supporting this code amendment. As not previously mentioned in past Commission discussions, Sanders has indicated that while gravel does have a low permeability rate, often gravel driveway materials end up in the public right-of-way or in the storm drain system, which is not treated before entering the river.

Circulation aisles necessary for maneuvering within a parking facility Draft Legislative Version (Yard Parking Ordinance), Page 4 of 8 (5) shall be designed so that vehicles do not back out into a street, sidewalk or other public way, other than a residential alley. In general, double -loaded aisles are preferred to single -loaded aisles. Curbing. All commercial, industrial or multifamily residential parking lots with five or more spaces shall have continuous concrete curbing around the entire parking lot. (6) Border barricades. Every parking facility containing angled or 90-degree parking spaces adjacent to a street right-of-way shall, except at entrance and exit drives, be developed with a solid curb or barrier along such street right-of-way line; or shall be provided with a suitable concrete barrier at least six inches in height and located not less than two feet from such street right-of-way line. Such wall, fence, curb or barrier shall be securely installed and maintained. (7) Surfacing. All off-street parking facilities shall be surfaced. Permitted surface types are: a minimum of five inches of concrete, or 11/2 inches of asphalt overlying four inches of base rock except temporary off street parking facilities, which may be surfaced by placement of a single bituminous surface treatment upon an aggregate base, which g shall be so graded and drained as to dispose of all surface water from within the ar a; in no case shall such drainage be allowed to cross sidewalks. i. Gravel: Parking facilities with gravel or crushed rock surfaces (or similar materials) are not permitted. Although, any such parking facility existing on or before the adoption date of this prohibition on such surfaces will be considered a legal non -conforming parking facility. These parking facilities may be maintained, but not expanded. If the property owner chooses to maintain the non -conforming parking facility, a minimum of four inches of compacted Class 5 material must be maintained. Moreover, this surface must have edging on all sides. ii. Concrete: a minimum of five inches; iii. Asphalt: Four inches of base rock with 11/ inches of asphalt; iv.
