APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion by Glenna Bealka, seconded by Don Valsvik to approve the minutes of the meeting of December 8, 1989 as submitted. All in favor. PUBLIC HEARINGS Case No. PUD/89-83 and SUB/89-82 - A resubdivision of Block 1, the Cottages of St 1i lwater, from three lots to sixteen lots and a modification of a previously approved PUD to a preliminary plat approval for a multi -family residential PUD consisting of fourteen six-plex condominium units. Heritage Development Corporation, Applicants. Kevin Von Riedel, representing Heritage Development, presented the proposal. He stated that Heritage Development Corporation wants to begin construction as soon as possible, even if permanent sewer services were not in place. It was stated by Steve Russell that it is "City policy" to have City services in place before building permits are issued for new development within the City of Stillwater. Heritage Development will work with Staff on this matter. Mr. Von Riedel commented on Condition of Approval No. 10. A fifty (50) foot setback from County Road 5 would place the six-plex on Lot 1 over a storm sewer located in that area. A forty (40) foot setback was agreed upon. Condition of Approval No. 13 was discussed by Mr. Von Riedel and the Commission. This condition concerned trash receptacles. Mr. Von Riedel discussed the reasons why the 34 foot right-of-way on Terrace Court and the 46 foot cul-de-sac radius are proposed for the development. Due to the steep terrain of the site, the roadway and cul-de-sac were reduced in order to provide adequate lot sizes and building envelopes, on Terrace Court. City standards are a 60 foot right-of-way for a street and a 60 foot radius for a street. The Commission changed Condition of Approval No. 14 in order to accept the 34 foot right-of-way and the 46 foot cul-de-sac. A ten (10) foot utility easement was added to Condition No. 14. 1 Condition No. 9 was removed from the Conditions of Approval. Mr. Russell stated that two acre feet of water storage for the pond was adequate. Landscaping for the development was discussed. The Commission felt that requiring the placement of landscaping before building occupancy is too strict. Trees and shrubs have a much better chance of survival if planted in the Spring or Fall. Summer planting on other projects in the City have not survived. If six months were given from building occupancy, landscaping could be done in the Spring or Fall. The following are changes to the Conditions of Approval: 1. Condition No. 9 - removed. 2. Condition No. 10 - Building 1 shall be set back forty (40) feet from County Road 5. 3. Condition No. 11 - Landscaping for each site shall be completed within six months of each building occupancy. Landscaping bond shall be secured with the City for the whole PUD. 4. Condition No. 14 - The Terrace Court right-of-way shall be thirty four (34) feet and cul-de-sac radius forty six (46) feet with a ten foot utility easement. All other conditions remain the same. Motion by Rob Hamlin to approve the subdivision request and Planned Unit Development request with the sixteen conditions as stated. Seconded by Gerald Fontaine. Motion carried 7-0. Case No. CPA/90-1 - West Stillwater Business Park Plan. Review and recommendation of the West Business Park Plan to the Stillwater City Council. Steve Russell presented the West Stillwater Business Park Plan. The meeting was open for comments. Bill Spangler, 62nd Street, Stillwater Township, questioned why the area west of Highway 5 along Highway 36 is designated multiple family housing. The West Business Park Plan Committee felt that this was the best land use for the site when it comes into the City of Stillwater. The plan does not specify when and/or if the land will become part of the City. Myron Pike, Pine Tree Trail, stated his concern about Pine Tree Trail and access to the Benson Farm. Glen Van Wormer, City Traffic Engineer, described the Pine Tree Trail extension to Orleans Street and reasons -For the street alignment. Jim Kriesel, Pine Tree Trail, asked the Planning Commission if the City knew about the dangerous intersection at Pine Tree Trail and Pine Street. The Commission stated that it is a concern of the City. Sandy Wagner, resident, stated concerns about an increase of traffic on West Orleans if PIne Tree Trail were connected thereby increasing traffic at the intersection at Greeley Street. I Resident, West Olive Street and County Road 5, expressed concern about speed limits coming into Stillwater from County Road 5 to Olive Street. Resident, 1111 Pine Tree Trail, asked where the proposed park land will be located on the Benson site. Mr. Russell pointed out the location. Resident, Pine Tree Trail, asked a question about the land use designation on the west side of Lily Lake. It was explained that it will be open space. Resident, Pine Tree Trail, wondered if there would be a public access to the open space west of Lily Lake. It was explained that this area would be in private ownership and deeded to the property owners that buy lots above the bluff line. Resident, Pine Tree Trail, stated that he would take the Pine Tree Trail extension to Orleans to Greeley in order to get to the mall. Resident, Orleans Street, expressed concern about the intersection at West Orleans Street and Greeley Street if Pine Tree Trail were extended. Resident, Pine Tree Trail, questioned vehicular access to multiple family housing and single family housing on the Benson Farm site. It was explained by Staff that West Orleans would be the access to the multiple family housing and Pine Tree Trail would be the access for the single family housing. John Hooley, Tower Properties, questioned zoning for the remaining Tower Property lots presently in the IP-I District. The plan recommends that these properties remain in a zoning district which allows the same types of uses. The public hearing closed. Gerald Fontaine, Chairman, discussed major concerns of the public hearing. These are the following: 1. Land use designation of the Township property west of County Road 5. This should remain single family residential as presently designated by Stillwater Township. 2. The Pine Tree Trail extension is a great concern of those residents living on that street. However, without further study of the area, this alternative should remain as is. When plans for the area are submitted to the City, a feasibility study should be done and a specific road alignment determined. Jay B. Kimble, Commission member, questioned the proposed commercial land use and zoning for the Woodland Lakes site. Gerald Fontaine stated this area is best suited for commercial land use due to its proximity to County Road 5 and Highway 36. Other property located on Curve Crest and West Orleans is not as visible from major roads. These lands are much better suited for industrial land use. He added that property zoned industrial does not move (sell) as quick as commercial zoned property. The West Business Park Committee agreed that land must be marketable. 3 Don Valsvik made a motion to approve the West Business Park Plan with the following changes. - Land use for the property located west of Highway 5 in Stillwater Township remain single family. Second by Glenna Bealka. Motion carried 7-0. SIX MONTHS REVIEW - Case No. SUP/89-12 - Special Use Permit review for a commercia recreation use, Billiard Hall, at 14470 North 60th Street in the Industrial Park Commercial District. Jeff Lundeen, Applicant. Jeff Lundeen and Don Browman, Property Manager, were present for the six month review. Don Browman explained that Jeff Lundeen has been a responsible manager. He has called the Stillwater Police Department on various occurrences to the Billiard Hall and on juvenile parties behind the building. A complaintant list from the Billiard Hall address, supplied by the Stillwater Police Department, was distributed to the Commission. The Billiard Hall has been very responsive on problems in the parking lot and behind the building. Jeff Lundeen stated that inside the Billiard Hall, no major occurrences such as fighting and drug dealing has taken place. The Applicant will be submitting a sign permit for the business. Rob Hamlin made a motion to review the Special Use Permit again in six months. Seconded by Jay Kimble. All in favor. Approved 7-0. Noise Ordinance Don Valsvik explained changes to the Noise Ordinance. These comments will be passed on to the City Attorney for consideration. Thank you Mr. Valsvik. The Planning Commission welcomed Warren Pakulski and Angela Anderson. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Gerald Fontaine to adjourn the meeting at 9:45 P.M. Glenna Bealka seconded. Motion carried 7-0.

CASE NO. 619. GARY AND MARY WILLIAMS, APPLICANTS. The request is to modify a condition of approval of a previously approved variance for construction of an attached garage with substandard setbacks. The original variance was to construct a garage with a three foot sideyard and three foot rearyard. The sideyard setback requirements for a garage with no habitable living space in the second level is five feet. When living space is added to the second level, ten feet is required. The rearyard setback for an attached garage is twenty five feet, the same as a garage with living space above. The owner is requesting to convert the second level storage area of the garage to living space (not a bedroom) according to the letter of application. There will be no change in the exterior appearance of the structure and no change of use. It does not appear that the modification would adversely impact the adjoining properties. If the request is approved, the structure may need to be modified to allow living space above the garage. RECOMMENDATION: Approval. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. A building permit shall be obtained for the conversion of the second story space. ATTACHMENT: - Request for modification. - Minutes and Staff report - City Council meeting 2/3/87. CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612-439-6121 Gary and Mary Williams 424 W. Churchi 11 St., Stillwater, MN 55082 !P i Dear members of the Planning Committee and City Council, This letter is being written to request your approval of a modification in a variance granted to us in April, 1966. The variance granted was for construction of an attached garage with attic storage above the garage. Our request at present is to be allowed to change the unfinished attic space above the garage into a living area. (non -bedroom). Our original plans brought before the planning commission in January of 1986 included a second story above the garage for living quarters. However, in response to our next door neighbor's objection the plans were drastically reduced and the living space was omitted. With eleven family members, our need for additional living space is still present. Our intent is to remain in this house indefinitely. Also, we feel that the situation at present is different enough from 1986 to warrant a review. The neighbor who opposed our addition passed away over a year ago. Our new neighbors , who occupy the residence to the north of us, have no objection to our plans. The proposal we present is to insulate and finish the garage attic into non -sleeping living space without changing the outside appearance or dimensions of the structure. We ask for your kind consideration of this request. Sincerely, Gary and Mary Wi 11 iams C.J - STEPHEN & AMY SCOTT 416 WEST CHURCHILL ST. STILLWATER, MINNESO m 55082-Ml 1 November 1989 Dear members of the Planning Committee and City Council, We wish to convey to you our support for Gary and Mary Williams in their request for modification of a variance as concerns their garage. They are requesting to insulate and finish the attic of their existing, attached garage into non -sleeping living space. We live to the Williams' immediate east, in closest proximity to the garage in question, and have no objections whatsoever to the completion of this project. Thank you for your consideration.

PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. This is the day and time for the public hearing on a request for modification of approved plans for construction of an attached garage with variance to the side and rearyard setback requirements in the R-B Residential Duplex District, Gary Williams, Applicant, Case No. 619. Copies of the notice were mailed to affected property owners on January 22, 1987. 1 Stillwater City Council Minutes Recessed Meeting February 3, 1987 Mr. Russell presented the background of this case, stating this was a modification of the former plans which included windows, door and dormer to the residence at 424 W. Churchill St. The footage of the variance has not changed. Ken Buege, 814 So. Sixth St., speaking for himself and a neighbor, Mrs. Bartkey, who lives next to the Williams, spoke in opposition to the modifications, stating this will block Mrs. Bartkey's view. Also, this may set a precedent for others to take the same kind of liberties in changing approved plans. Mrs. Bartkey also stated her objections to the building. Also noted, was a telegram from John and Joy Virden, residents of Bethesda, Maryland, who own a home in the neighborhood, objecting to the building. Dr. William -reviewed the -events of -his obtaining a-y-ariance for his addition. He explained that the footage of -the variance has not changed, but windows, door and dormers were added and this will make the addition more attractive. Ken Hannah, 416 Churchill, agreed with Dr. Williams, stating the building is more pleasing with the modifications. Dr. Williams added that the new structure is replacing an old garage, which was more unsightly, and could not be rebuilt. Mayor Abrahamson closed the public hearing. Council discussion followed and addressed the misconception that this addition is two stories, the second plan was not heard by the Planning Commission, and the request before the Council tonight is not to change the variance, but to allow windows, door and dormers, and the plans are essentially the same as those which were approved. Motion by Councilmember Kimble, seconded by Councilmember Bodlovick to approve the modification of approved plans for construction of an attached garage at 424 W.

This is the day and time for the public hearing on the request of Mark Clemenson, 908 So. Sixth St., for a Special Use Permit to operate a shar- pening service in the garage at the above address. Case No. 625. Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette on March 21, 1986 and copies were mailed to affected property owners. Mr. Clemenson explained that he will be running a sharpening service in his double garage. He will be running the operation during the day and up to approximately 8:00 P.M. The garage is insulated and noise will not be a nuisance for the neighbors. Dean Miller, Planning Commission, stated the Commission voted to recommend approval and suggested that any sign be 2 sq. ft. or smaller. Mayor Peterson closed the public hearing. Motion by Councilmember MacDonald, seconded by Councilmember Farrell to grant approval for a Special Use Permit for a sharpening service by Mark Clemenson at 908 So. Sixth St., with a one-year review, and a sign no larger than 2 sq. ft. to be attached to the garage. Discussion followed regarding the placement of the sign. The motion was amended to read the sign shall be attached to a building. (All in favor) 3. This is the day and time for the public hearing on the request of Harvest States Cooperative/The Surplus Outlet (old Warehouse Market), 14460 No. 60th St., for an 8-1/2 ft. Setback Variance for a new sign on an existing standard. Case No. 626. Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette on March 21, 1986 and copies were mailed to affected property owners. Rick Larson, store manager, was present to explain that they are using the sign works from the old sign and would like to mount the sign posts on the existing pylons already set into the parking lot. Mr. Zepper explained the setback requirement is 10 ft. and the sign would sit back 1-1/2 ft. from the property line. The problem is that there are 5 yds. of concrete which would make moving the sign difficult. The sign would line up with Joseph's, Fred's Tire, and the Cadillac dealership; and would place the sign further out than Crown Auto and Burger King. 2 ..w ��- �- - - - .:•s:r---'.���•�*�"7".:..rrr:;l ��trT�^':r:3:r �"!�Y:•-.-!i::-•- .: 5�.�=i=iF ��ly'..•, Y. +.: i �, :L _�' G:r...�- '_<• - i:i.. fit. , i� �. rfr[_'- ::Ri ti•:.. r ay��. . ,_� i-u .*S� �%1 .E'•.;r'� ,�-� - �,..

DISCUSSION: The request is to establish a five guest room Bed and Breakfast and to conduct special events with groups of 50-75 people as previously approved for the residence. The applicants have stated their intentions are to run the five guest guest room inn under a new name "Pioneer Point on the St. Croix". The owner/manager will reside in the home. Only breakfast will be served as the basic compensation. The home is located on an 85,000 square foot lot overlooking Pioneer Park. The area is large enough to adequately support special event functions. The site is also large enough to accommodate renovation of the Carriage House into living quarters for family members. The RB, Two Family Residential District requires 5,000 square feet per dwelling unit. The parking plan shows that all guest parking will be on -site leaving Laurel Street open for public parking. As stated previously, special event functions for 50-75 people are planned. Conditions were established for the previous owners to meet building and health codes for these functions. The conditions were also established so events at the Inn would not interfere with events at Pioneer Park or disturb neighbors in the area. No sign plan has been submitted for the use. The applicants are allowed an identification sign not exceeding four square feet. The home is located within three blocks of another proposed Bed and Breakfast site (refer to Case SUP/90-3). The Bed and Breakfast Ordinance prohibits Bed and Breakfasts within three blocks. This was integrated into the Ordinance for two reasons. One, the preservation of residential neighborhoods was the greatest concern. Commercial uses have an impact on those residents due to an increase in traffic and pedestrians. Two, a majority of the lots in the RB and RCM zoning Districts do not have excess space for additional parking. It is not City policy to allow on -street parking for commercial use. This site is an exception due to its large lot and its location next to Pioneer Park away from neighboring residential structures. Based on these characteristics, the home at 210 East Laurel Street is an excellent site for a Bed and Breakfast. It is set apart from the neighborhood and is large enough to accommodate parking. Its location next to Pioneer Park and the historical architectural integrity of the structure creates a wonderful setting for a Bed and Breakfast. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: See Conditions "A" an "B". RECOMMENDATION: Approval. FINDINGS: The request for a Bed and Breakfast permit meets the intent of the Bed and Breakfast Ordinance. The location of the home is conducive to commercial activity such as a Bed and Breakfast and is also an adequate location for large group gatherings. The use of the home will not have an impact on the adjacent residential neighborhood. ATTACHMENTS: - Letter to Commission and Council. - Site plan. - Letter to neighbors.

Our intent is to continue to use the residence as a bed and breakfast. We do not propose to make any changes from the original permit issued to the previous owner. All changes will be cosmetic and updating to further enhance the property. Our application for a Special Use Permit will be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission on February 12, 1990. Prior to this meeting we would appreciate any concerns or comments you may have regarding our request. Please call us at 439-5508 or write us at 717 Sixth Avenue South, Stillwater, Minnesota 55082. We look forward to meeting you'. Sincerely,, Vern and Sharon Stefan Tim and Amy Stefan Keri Stefan PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW CASE NO. SUP190-3 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: February 12, 1990 PROJECT LOCATION: 102 East Cherry Street COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DISTRICT: Multiple Family Residential ZONING DISTRICT: RCM APPLICANT'S NAME: David and Janel Belz TYPE OF APPLICATION: Special Use Permit PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A Special Use Permit to establish a two guest room Bed and Breakfast in a home at 102 East Cherry Street. DISCUSSION: The request is to establish a two guest room Bed and Breakfast. The applicants have stated their intentions are to transfer the name "Overlook Inn" from the previously managed Bed and Breakfast located at 210 East Laurel Street. The owners/managers will reside in the home. Only breakfast will be served for'the basic compensation. The home is located on a 50 ft. x 120 ft. corner lot. The structure is quite large and takes up a majority of the lot. The site is located in a very high dense neighborhood with homes abutting property lines. The parking plan shows four parking spaces in the rearyard. After inspection of the site, this location does not appear to provide enough space for four cars and provide adequate vehicular ingress and egress to the site. There is also no on -site pedestrian access from the parking area to the front entrance of the home. The applicants have stated they plan to place the existing "Overlook Inn" sign to identify the business. The sign meets the requirements of the Bed and Breakfast Ordinance. The home appears to be one hundred years old but does not have significant historical architectural features. The home is located within three blocks of another requested Bed and Breakfast site (refer to Case SUP/90-2). The Bed and Breakfast Ordinance prohibits Bed and Breakfasts within three blocks. This was included in the Ordinance for two reasons. One, residential neighborhoods are the greatest concern. Commercial uses have an impact on those residents due to an increase in traffic and pedestrians. Two, a majority of the lots in the RB and RCM Zoning Districts do not have excess space for additional parking. It is not City policy to allow on -street parking for commercial uses. Case No. SUP/90-3 - Continued CONDITIONS IF APPROVED: 1. The Special Use Permit is issued to the owners, David and Janel Belz, as operators and is not transferable to successive owners. 2. A sign plan for guest parking shall be submitted to the City before the Bed and Breakfast permit is issued. 3. The County Health Officer shall submit a report to the City of Stillwater when all health requirements have been met. The Inn shall not open until the report is submitted. 4. No liquor to be sold on the premises. 5. Breakfast may be served only to guests of the residence. 6. Any complaints about the business will be reviewed by the City Council. 7. No on -street parking is allowed. RECOMMENDATION: Denial. FINDINGS: The proposed use does not meet the intent of the Bed and Breakfast Ordinance due to the impact of commercial activity in this densely populated area (within three blocks of other Bed and Breakfasts) and lack of guest parking spaces.

Laurel St. Stillwater, MN 55082 February 7, 1990 TO: Stillwater Planning Commission and City Council Members As of February 28, 1990 our residence and business, The Overlook Inn, Inc. located at 210 E. Laurel Street, will no longer be in operation due to the fact that we have lost our lease. However, as luck would have it, it has been our good fortune to obtain the ownership of a new home at 102 E. Cherry. At this time we are requesting the transfer of our special use permit for the Bed and Breakfast business to our new residence. At the present time, the home is a tri-plex. It is our wish to convert to a 2-room Bed and Breakfast along with our family residence. We have come to know and love the Bed and Breakfast industry and the knowledge that its income contributes to the restoration of older homes. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Warm Re ard�, q r � aC�JI �� Janel & David Belz MINNESOTA HISTORIC BID & BREAI FAST ASSOCIATION "Rich in history and neatly uprappcd in old fashioned charm" Dear Sirs: As representatives of an industry which has shown tremendous growth in communities across the state and aided in the preservation and restoration of wonderful old homes in these communities, we would like to make a recommendation to you regarding an upcoming issue. We are the members of the Minnesota Historic Bed & Breakfast Association. In reference to the recent sale of a home at 210 E. Laurel St. in Stillwater which had been the Overlook Inn since 1987, we recommend the owners of the business, David and Janel Belz, be allowed to transfer their business license to their new (old) home at 102 E. Cherry Street. The r_eas'on we feel this is particularly important is that it will encourage the restoration and preservation of another fine old property in Stillwater. Since the business was not sold with the home, we feel it is imperative that the Belzs be allowed to have the advantage of their following and the business which they worked hard to build. This request is in direct correlation with the MHBBAs goal of encouraging the bed and breakfast industry in historic communities in Minnessota with a main advantage being the restoration and preservation of housing stock which is difficult to maintain as single family residences. Thank you for the opportunity to make this recommendation to such a fine community as you have where the term "historic" is admired.

DISCUSSION: The request is to subdivide an existing lot of 15,000 square feet into two lots of 7,500 square feet. The subdivision will divide the lot as shown on the site plan. One lot will consist of the existing home and a garage located in the rear yard. The south lot will consist of the two car garage. Each lot meets the minimum lot area and lot width requirements. When Stillwater was platted, the majority of lots were laid out in a grid pattern with 501x150' size lots. This large lot is actually two lots that were combined at one time. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. Any development on the south lot shall meet all setback requirements for the district. 2. Covered parking shall be provided for the existing residence.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Variance to the Sign Ordinance to replace an existing twenty square foot price sign with a twenty five square foot illuminated price sign at Brook's Food Market. DISCUSSION: The request is to replace an existing twenty square foot price sign with a new twenty five square foot illuminated price sign at Brook's Food Market. The sign is mounted on a free-standing "MOBIL" sign visible from Highway 5. Presently, the site has two free-standing signs "MOBIL" and "BROOKS" and a wall sign on the building which exceeds the sign requirements for gas stations. A variance is required for any additional or change to signage at this location. The price sign requested by the applicant improves the free-standing "MOBIL" sign. The existing sign is quite rusty and needs replacement. RECOMMENDATION: Approval. FTNnTNr.C- For reasons set forth in the discussion, the granting of this variance is necessary for the reasonable use of the sign and this is the minimum variance that will accomplish such a purpose.

Type of Application: Variance PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A variance to the Sign Ordinance for a roof sign and the placement of two ten square foot banners at 904 South Fourth Street (Old Goggin's Candy). DISCUSSION: The request is to add three additional signs at Toby Brill's Confections. A sign permit was issued to the business for the wall sign on the front of the building. This 221x18" sign is the maximum allowed for signs in this district. Additional signage needs a variance to the Sign Ordinance. The existing rooftop sign on the building has been in place since Hooley's occupied the building. The sign is an architectural feature of the building. The two banners further increase exterior signage at this location. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. No additional signage shall be placed on the.exterior of the building. RECOMMENDATION: - Recommend that the roof sign be approved. - Deny the banners signs. FINDINGS: The roof sign is an existing sign. The banner signs are additional signage which do not meet the purpose of the Sign Ordinance. ATTACHMENTS: - Explanation of variance. - Sign Plan. TOBY B. BRILL February 2, 1990 EXPLANATION FOR REQUEST FOR SIGN VARIANCE 904 South 4th Street STILLWATER: MN. 55082 At Last Distributing, Inc., dba Toby Brill Confections requests a variance from current City sign ordinance for the above property for the two exceptions which follow: 1. Location currently bears a roof -top sign which should be repainted and updated 2. Building facia has two banner brackets over store front windows which displayed banners and flags in prior years ROOF -TOP SIGN Stillwater has been the home of the Goggins Candy Company for over 40 years; and the Plant location has provided the local community with a flagship manufacturing chocolatier, to call Stillwater's very own. The Plant has hosted tour groups during all seasons. and its value as an important tourist stop is without question. The updating of the roof -top sign, with our Firm's name, will restore the link between the location and a full)si.zed chocolate factory which prepares unique and quality products, and employs the staff familiar to Stillwater residents. TWO VERTICAL BANNERS The building above bears two banner brackets on the upper storefront. Our Firm requests a variance to hang banners from these brackets to highlight Stillwater events such as the Lumber Jack Days, and to promote new product: or seasonal product additions to the Firm's line, ( Ice Cream and Baked Goods ). The vertical banners measure five feet long by two feet wide and are black with white lettering. 1300 NICOLLET MALL MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55403 TELEPHONE (612) 332-0008 It u � b � 4 WE - n CI-) PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW CASE NO. V/90-7 Planning Commission Meeting: February 12, 1990 Project Location: 904 South Fourth Street Comprehensive Plan District: General Commercial Zoning District: CA Applicants Name: At Last Distributing, Inc. Type of Application: Variance Project Description: A variance to the Parking Ordinance f or a retail/production/residential use in an existing structure. Discussion• The request is for a variance to the Parking Ordinance for a retail/ production/residential use at 904 South Fourth Street. This mixed use of the building is similar to the past Goggin's Candy retail outlet. According to the Parking Ordinance, 32 spaces are required for the use. The site presently has 21 spaces on site. The applicant has stated that no shortage of adequate parking during normal business hours has occurred. The parking lot is heavily used on weekend evenings by patrons of Meister's Bar across the street. However, it does not conflict with the use of the building at 904 South Fourth Street. Conditions of Approval: 1. All customer, residential, and employee parking shall be in the designated parking lot. 2. The parking lot shall not be used by other commercial uses in the area during daily business hours. 3. The trash enclosures shall be located outside of the parking area and screened from public view. Recommendation: Approval. Findings: The granting of this variance is necessary for the reasonable use of the parking lot and existing building and that this is the minimum variance that will accomplish such a purpose. Attachments: - Memo rom Toby Brill. - Site plan of parking lot. - Use of business. - Plan of business use. TOBY R BRILL February 2, 1990 EXPLANATION FOR REQUEST FOR PARKING VARIANCE 904 South 4th Street STILLWATER, MN. 55082 At Last Distributing, Inc., dba Toby Brill Confections requests a variance from current City parking ordinance for the above property since the current off::street parking lot has 21 parking spaces available and. the City -has allowed prior occupants of the building to conduct their business; or reside without any adjustment to the parking lot.. Additionally, during the last sixty (60) days of operations by the current retail tenants, no shortage of adequate parking teas noted, and this recent period reflects tenants' pear season customer volume. Persuant to current City code, the square footage occupancy in the building by both Retail and Residential tenants would require a total of thirty-three parking spaces. The current parking .lot configuration allows for-E1TP:.n_ty-6ne spaces. It does not appear that a shortage of parking will occur if it was no a problem during the peak season.

DISCUSSION: The request is to subdivide a 70,000 square foot lot with an existing structure in the Industrial Park into two lots of 31,601 and 38,399 square feet with an existing structure. The proposed land division is consistent with the use and lot size requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan but it does not meet the lot depth requirements of the district on the west property. The minimum lot depth is 130 feet. Due to the corner of Curve Crest Boulevard and Northwestern and the existing structure location, this lot configuration is reasonable. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1.

Maragos water THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: ANN PUNG-TERWEDO, ASSISTANT PLANNER DATE: FEBRUARY 9, 1990 SUBJECT: STUDY AREA FOR LAND USE SURVEY OF THE RCM, MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT. DISCUSSION: The Stillwater Downtown Plan identifies land use changes to the residential neighborhoods surrounding downtown. Presently, this whole area is designated Medium Density Multi -Family, 15 dwelling units per acre. Currently many of the old historic structures are in single family use with some converted apartments. To retain the character of the existing older neighborhoods, the plan designates the Residential Low Density Multi -Family, eight units per acre as shown on the land use map. The plan allows for higher density residential development, fifteen units per acre, along Myrtle Street between Third Street and Fifth Street, along Myrtle Street and Oak Street and off Second Street below Pioneer Park. These areas present opportunities for higher density multi -family development. Above the Chestnut Street Hill on the west, south of Pine Street and north of Mulberry Street, a majority of the homes are single family but are in the Medium Density Land Use and Zoning District, Some of the areas were not included in the Land Use Plan of the Downtown Plan. Residents in these areas have contacted the City of Stillwater to express concern of high density multi -family uses of structures built for single-family use. In order to do a comprehensive evaluation of the area, a Land Use Study of the whole Medium Density Multi -Family District is currently being studied. This area is outlined on the study map. From this survey, land use changes and subsequent zoning changes will be made.
