APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion by Gary Funke to approve the minutes of the meeting of June 10, 1991 as submitted. Seconded by Glenna Bealka. Motion carried. PUBLIC HEARINGS Case_ N.o. V/.9139 - A Variance to the frontyard setback requirements (twenty feet requested, thirty feet required) for the construction of eight single family homes on the north side of Van Tassel Drive and the east side of Neal Avenue. Lots 1 through 8, Oak Glen 13th Addition, in the RA, Single Family Residential District. The applicant, David Johnson, explained that the request is because of high perched water in the area. The digging will start at the 30-foot setback, but may have to be moved up to 20 feet if the high water makes it necessary. Recent soil borings have shown the water to be three feet higher than in 1984. He also stated that one excavation may drain the other sites, making the variance unnecessary. The variance will only be used if it is shown to be necessary. There are two recommended conditions of approval. The Commission determined that a third condition should be added, allowing a maximum of five feet in the difference between setbacks of adjacent lots. Motion by Gary Funke to aprove the variance request with three conditions. Seconded by Glenna Bealka. All in favor. Case No. V/91-40 - The applicant has requested a continuance to the September meeting. Case No. VJ91-41 - A Variance to the frontyard setback requirements (sixteen feet, three inches requested, thirty feet required) for the constrution of a single family home on the east side of Riverview Drive (next to 1419 Riverview Drive). 1 Stillwater Planning Commission Minutes August 12, 1991 Doug McNamara of Robert H. Mason Homes presented the application, along with Clifford and Donna Fearing, property owners. There are five recommended conditions of approval. Mr. McNamara stated that condition No. 1 as written may be impossible as the foundation has not yet been engineered and he does not know how much working area will be needed. He agreed that the area will be as undisturbed as possible, and that the trees will be fenced and erosion control fences erected during construction to preserve the site. The Commission agreed to add "to the maximum extent possible" to the first condition. Condition No. 2 was amended also, with "erosion control plan" added. Condition No. 6 was added: "The City Engineer shall review the site plan and storm sewer drainage initiated by the site plan". Motion by Rob Hamlin to approve the Variance request with six conditions as discussed. Seconded by Duane Elliott. All in favor. Case No. SUP/91-42 - A Special Use Permit to conduct a commercial entertainment concert studio at 116 East Chestnut Street in the CBD, Central Business District. David G. Peterson, property owner, presented the application. He explained that the downstairs area of Water Music has been used for lessons and recitals and he wishes to use the area for small concerts in the evening. Building and fire inspections have been made and the recommended changes have been completed. He also stated that he has no intentions for a future restaurant use, but plans to serve only items such as coffee and cookies with a .L L M .L 6 c.A J. V 0 U There was discussion of the parking situation, and it was determined that if the concerts are held on the weekends or after 6 p.m. on weekdays, there would not be a parking problem. There are four recommended conditions of approval. Motion by Gary Funke to approve the special use permit with four conditions. Seconded by Duane Elliott. All in favor. Case_ No. V/91-43 - A Variance to the Sign ordinance for the construction of a sign twenty eight inches in height (twenty four inches allowed based on River Heights Plaza Sign Program) located at River Heights Plaza. Shannon Grady, of Sign Services, presented the application. He is concerned that, because of the number of letters in the sign, a 24 inch sign would not be legible from Highway 36. He also stated that the JC Penney Catalog Store was granted a variance. K Stillwater Planning Commission Minutes August 12, 1991 Mr. Russell explained that the Penney store had to be differentiated from a JC Penney retail store because of customer confusion and was allowed to add the Catalog Store sign. The Commission was concerned that approving this variance would set a precedent for other new stores in the center. Motion by Councilmember Funke to deny the variance request. Seconded by Duane Elliott. All in favor. Case Na. V/91-_44 - A Variance to the Sign Ordinance for the placement of a forty five square foot monument sign approximately twelve feet from the street at 1826 Tower Drive, Janet Jezior presented the application. An existing shrub will be removed for placement of the sign. The sign will be 8 or 8- 1/2 feet wide. She feels the 12 foot location will give better visability to the sign from Tower Drive. Members of the Commission felt that placement of the sign at the 15-feet allowed by the ordinance would be adequate and that there would be sufficient room for the sign at 15 feet. Motion by Duane Elliott to deny the variance request. Seconded by Rob Hamlin. Motion to deny carried 3-2 (G. Bealka and G. Funke opposed). OTHER Vacancies on the Planning Comission - There are currently two vacancies on the Commission. The Commission reviewed eight applications which have been received.

V/91-47 Planning Commission Meeting: September 9, 1991 Project Location: Just west of Highway 95/96 intersection. Flood Plain: No Bluffland/Shoreland District: Yes Applicant's Name: Kenneth Seefert Type of Application: Variance PROJECT DESCRIPTION A-Variance_to evelopment Bluffland/Shoreland Ordinance requirements for installation of a sanitary sewer system on slopes of over 12%. DISCUSSION The site is located in the Riverway District north of Highway 96 and can not be seen from the St. Croix River. (See attached location map.) The application is to construct a single fa;nily,house requiring an on -site septic system. No City sewer service is availaUle to the area. The on -site septic system would be located on land that has slopes of greater than 12%. The Bluffland/Sinoreland Ordinance does not allow structures on slopes of greater than 12`). (See attached letter from the DNR. ) The proposed site for the on --site sewer system, as shown on the attached map contains slopes of greater than 12%. There are other locations on the lot of slopes of less than 13% that could accommodate the on -site system. In a related application, the owner has requested a lot split separating the 11.29 acre lot into two lots of 4.96 and 6.33 acres but has not met the conditions of the lot split approval. For purposes of this review, the entire 11.29 acres is considered as one lot. (A copy of the Conditions of Approval for the lot split, SUB/91-17 is attached.) The installation of the sanitary sewer system on the sloped area can meet all PCA requirements for on -site sewer systems and conditions of approval are proposed to minimize the impact of the installation on the site. According to the Bluffland/Shoreland Ordinance in considering a variance, the following factors shall be considered. 1. Preserving the scenic and recreational resources of the St. Croix Riverway, especially in regard to the view from and use of the river. 2. The maintenance of safe and healthful conditions. 3. The prevention and control of water pollution, including sedimentation. 4. Tile location of the site with respect to floodways, slopes and blufflines. 1 5. The erosion potential of the site based on degree and direction of slope, soil type and vegetative cover. 6. Potential impact on game and fish habitat. 7. Location of the site with respect to existing or future access roads. 8. The amount of wastes to be generated and the adequacy of the proposed disposal system. 9. The anticipated demand for police, fire, medical and school services and facilities. 10. The compatibility of the proposed development with uses on adjacent land. A review of the request, area, and site conditions indicate the following findings can be made: 1. The scenic and recreational resources of St. Croix would be preserved because the site is riot visible from tine river and no recreation resources are located in the area. 2. Minnesota PCA requirements for septic system will be met and access to the site is already provided. 3. As conditioned, based on project approval, water quality will be preserved and erosion minimized. 4. The site is not in a floodway or a bluffline - a portion of the site is in slopes of greater than 12%. 5. As conditioned, site erosion will be minimized. 6_ The site is within an urban area_ City of Stillwatpr_ nnp hnusP nn 11.29 acres will minimally impact the habitat. 7. Currently access is adequately provided to the site. 8. An on -site septic system would meet PCA requirements. 9. Garbage services are provided to City residences. 10. The single family use is consistent with existing area land use and zoning. VARIANCE FINDING: The property owner did not cause the hardship which is unique to the site because of topographic conditions. The request is for a reasonable use of tree property. The proposed will not alter the essential character of the locality. RECOMMENDATION: Approval with conditions. 2 fr CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. A drainage and erosion control plan to minimize on -site erosion shall be submitted and approved by the Community Development Director before plumbing permits for the septic system is issued. 2. All tree removal for the residence and on -site septic system shall be shown on the site plan and reviewed and approved by the Community Development Director before building permits arka issued.

May 9, 1991 Mr. Steve Russell City of Stillwater 216 North Fourth Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 RE: Proposed Subdivision Kenneth Seefert/Douglas Vollmer Variance Dear Mr. Russell: Thank you for sending a copy of the. proposed subdivision of property adjacent to Highway 96. The DNR does not have to formally certify this subdivision, because under the current rules, a subdivision is division of property into three or more lots. We do, however, have some concerns about this property due to slope conditions. I have visited parcel B, and have seen parcel A from parcel B. Neither parcel contains very much land which is less than 12% slope. The slopes would not be considered blufflines, since the property is screened by topography from the river. Variances would undoubtedly be needed for structures, and possibly septic systems, given the slope conditions. Hardship would be extremely difficult to demonstrate, since the problem is create3 by the landowner. Section 701.01 of the bluffland model code prohibits subdivision of land which has, among other things, "unfavorable topography". If the property is allowed to be subdivided, and subsequent property owners apply for a variance to build on a 12 % or greater slope, it is questionable whether the variance could be granted due to the self-created hardship issue. The DNR has no comment on the accessory structure variance for l l Ji 4- Vurt Li- - l lT'ou las rV7o_L_Lmc on C117cv U1---r ci._L 11.. _L l"l1,,.V 1vL.Ul ordinance.

We defer to the Minnesota DNR for regulatory comments on this request. 2. We have no objections if the Riverway ordinance of the City of Stillwater and the Minnesota DNR minimum standards can be met. 3. We are particularly concerned that the lots that would be created have sufficient space and dimensional and topographic features that would enable any future construction without the need for any variances from Riverway zoning regulations. We cannot support the creation of any lots that would later result in a request for a variance request by a subsequent builder in order to make reasonable use of the property. A hardship condition should not be created when it can be prevented in the process of establishing lot dimensions and configuration. Please enter these comments into the hearing record. We will not be present at the hearing. Please advise us, as well, of the final decision of the planning commission and council. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
