UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS A. Metropolitan Council Update, Roger Williams Mr. Roger Williams, a representative from the Metropolitan Council, presented a plaque to Mayor Probst in recognition of the City's participation in the Livable Communities Program in which the City has been active since 1996, He thanked the Council for its active leadership in the 35W Corridor Coalition, adding that the Metropolitan Council uses the coalition as a model for other subregional planning efforts. ARDEN illLLS CITY COUNCIL - July 31, 2000 DRAfT 3 . . Mr. Williams stated that the Metropolitan Council also recognizes the City's leadership in TCAAP property planning, which represents an important piece of land in the Metro area, He encouraged the Council to consider affordable housing options as well as diverse transit opportunities when that property is in the development stage, Mayor Probst thanked Mr. Williams for his efforts on the Metropolitan Council as well as his active participation in the 35W Corridor Coalition, Mr, Williams reiterated his thanks and congratulations to the community, B. Ordinance #319, Rubbish Hauler Collection Schedule Mr. Post introduced Mark Kelliher, Chairman of the Operations and Finance Committee, He noted the Committee, which was formed several months ago, has identified several key issues to be researched with rubbish hauling being one ofthem, He invited Mr. Kelliher to address the Council. Mr. Kelliher stated that the Operations and Finance Committee recently identified a number of problems associated with residential garbage hauling within the city which could be corrected if scheduling changes are made. He added that four haulers are licensed to pick up residential trash in the City, and each requires two days to complete their routes, He noted this results in trash hauling taking place every week day, . Mr. Kelliher stated that various problems are associated with this, including interaction with City maintenance vehicles, noise pollution, and safety issues. He added that the Committee felt that if trash hauling were coordinated with recycling pickup, there would also be an increase in residential recycling, Mr. Kelliher stated the Committee discussed these issues with the four residential haulers operating in the City, and came up with some solutions. He added the garbage haulers are in agreement that the plan can be implemented, He noted the plan consists of City-imposed restrictions for the haulers to operate south of 694 on Tuesdays and north of 694 on Wednesdays, Mr. Kelliher recommended that the Council might wish to discuss this schedule with the City's current recycler and possibly mandate schedule coordination with trash pickup. Mr. Kelliher stated that this plan does not reduce road traffic as it is simply condensed. He noted that the option of a single trash hauler licensed by the City was not a good solution Council member Grant asked how the 694 split was decided upon, Mr. Kelliher stated that 694 is a natural demarcation used by one of the haulers, and it provides an easily interpreted point of reference for residents. . Councilmember Larson stated he supports the recommendation, He asked whether surrounding communities have a single day tor trash rather than two days, Mr. Kelliher stated that the trash haulers indicated that most communities require two days, He added the Committee was concerned that the solution should not be burdensome to haulers, ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - July 31, 2000 f\ -1 ;r l~ ~. '~", ',;a { ,~\~!1 ,,,. . o 'll':;' if"\. d ' 4 . . Councilmember Larson asked whether the recycling contractors are willing to set up another day. Mr. Kelliher stated he has not spoken directly with the contractor, adding this could be introduced to them at upcoming contract negotiations. Mr. Post stated that representatives of the City's recycler have expressed a willingness to cooperate, but would wish to begin this new service at the start of the next contract on January 1, 2001, He suggested the ordinance might be made effective January 1 to coincide with the recycling contract. Councilmember Aplikowski stated she reluctantly supports the proposal, adding she does not think it is something on which the City should bemandating. She added that residents should be able to have their garbage picked up whenever they wish, She noted she is against an ordinance- driven mandate such as this proposal. She applauded the committee for their efforts and for working with the City's garbage haulers to arrive at a solution, Mayor Probst stated he supports the proposal and would be interested in moving it along, Councilmember Rem asked whether the proposed ordinance would affect the hours of hauling, Mr. Kelliher stated that was not part ofthe discussions. He added that early trash pick-up will only occur one day of the week, condensing noise pollution. . Councilmember Aplikowski asked whether the garbage haulers would notify residents of the change. Mr. Kelliher confirmed that it will be the hauler's responsibility to notify their customers. MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve Ordinance #319, relating to the collection of garbage and refuse, with the following amendment: Change effective date to January 1, 2001. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). C. Planning Cases 1. Case #00-27, ALBS, 1296 County Road F, SUP Amendment Ms, Chaput explained that the applicant is requesting an amendment to the Special Use Permit (SUP) for 1296 County Road F to allow for the installation of one antenna onto the existing tower (at a height of 265' with a six foot mount) and the installation of a new supporting platform on the ground level. . The property at 1296 County Road F is primarily used for a single antenna tower, with accessory structures to support it, The existing antenna tower was constructed in 1972, Since this time, the City's Zoning Ordinance has been amended to no longer allow antennas as a primary use in any . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - July 31, 2000 5 . district of the City, The current Zoning Ordinance allows for antennas that are accessory to the primary use on a property through the SUP process in all zoning districts. This application is for an amendment to the original SUP to allow the installation of an antenna on the main antenna tower, The applicant requests the installation of an antenna to be placed at an elevation of 265 feet on the existing antenna tower. The proposed antenna requires a six foot mount at this elevation as well as a new platform and radio mount with GPS and microwave dish inside the existing compound, Section VI (I) #2 ofthe Zoning Ordinance states that, "Antennas, satellite dishes and towers are allowed only as special accessory uses, They are therefore allowed only on property containing a principal use to which the antenna, dish antenna or tower is accessory", The existing antenna is nonconforming by use since it is the principal use for this property. The structures that exist on the property are accessory to the tower. The height of antenna towers can not exceed seventy-five feet (75') in any district as stated in Section VI (I) #3 (b) of the Zoning Ordinance. The existing antenna on this property exceeds 265' in height and the applicant proposes to place an antenna at approximately this height. Therefore, the existing antenna is also nonconforming by height. Being nonconforming by height, the antenna tower is also nonconforming by location since it is nearer to the property line (approximately 50' from the antenna) than the height of the tower (Section VI (I) #4 (d)). . Section IX (D) of the Zoning Ordinance states that, "No nonconforming use shall be changed to a different nonconforming use, enlarged, intensified, increased, extended to occupy a greater area of the lot on which it is located, moved to any other part of the lot on which or building in which it is located, constructed, reconstructed, structurally altered or remodeled, ' ," The addition ofthis antenna onto an existing nonconforming antenna tower is not permitted (as stated above) since it would physically increase or expand the nonconformity, Permitting additional antennas on an already nonconforming use is contrary to the intent ofthe Zoning Ordinance which does not encourage antennas as a primary use, Ms, Chaput stated that the Planning Commission recommends denial of Planning Case #00-27, amendment to the Special Use Permit for 1296 County Road F, to allow for the installation of one antenna onto the existing tower and the installation of a new supporting platform on the ground, for the following reasons: 1, The physical enlargement of an existing nonconforming use by an additional antenna is not permitted by Section IX (D) of the City's Zoning Ordinance; 2. It appears that antennas have been illegally added to the existing tower in the past and the current tower appears to be taller than the original SUP permitted in 1972, . Mayor Probst asked what type of antennas have been added to the tower in the past. Ms. Chaput stated there is no documentation of planning cases changing the height of the tower, approved for 240 feet and currently at 265 feet. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - July 31, 2000 DRAFT 6 . Councilmember Larson asked for clarification with regard to the applicant. Ms. Chaput stated the applicant is ALBS, a company operating out of Illinois, working with Sky tel. Councilmember Larson asked whether previous changes were made to the structure since the zoning ordinance was amended, Ms. Chaput stated that a building permit was approved in 1982 for building a shed, and a planning case was withdrawn in 1996, Councilmember Grant asked whether the proposed antenna will add to the height of the tower. Ms, Chaput stated it would not add to the height, adding that the addition is not permitted by City Code and would add to the tower's nonconformity, Councilmember Rem asked whether Staff had heard from the applicant since their recommendation for denial was made, Ms, Chaput stated she has not heard from the applicant. Mr. George Reiling stated he is the owner of the property, adding he does not believe the tower has been expanded, Councilmember Aplikowski stated the tower was constructed before the zoning ordinance was revised. She added the toweris visually balanced, and the addition of antennas would make it appear lopsided. She asked how antennas could have been added without the City's knowledge, and who would be responsible lor that. She asked whether the illegally added antennas could be removed. . City Attorney Jerry Filla stated that he is not familiar with this case, adding that the Council seems to be expressing a wish for further information with regard to the tower's height and number of antennas, He added he is unsure whether Mr. Reiling has the authority to give the City more time to investigate that. Mr, Filla stated the legal issue seems to be whether the request is an expansion of a nonconforming use, or an expansion of an illegal use. He expressed concern that this is the last day for making a decision on the matter. He recommended the Council take more time to review the matter. Council member Larson asked whether the applicant could submit a new application in six months if the application were denied. Ms, Chaput agreed, adding the applicant could also change their application and resubmit it immediately, Mr. Filla asked whether Mr. Rciling would be willing to allow City staffto review permits regarding the property, Mayor Probst expressed concern that there is no way to determine whether Mr. Reiling has the appropriate authority, Mr. Filla stated he would recommend an alternative motion to continue the request for 60 days to allow the City to investigate the issue, Mayor Probst asked whether an action could be taken to deny the request but waive the six month requirement, allowing the applicant to return next month, Mr. Filla stated the six month restriction is contained in the zoning code. . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - July 31, 2000 L. ',. "'- ~ 7 . . Councilmember Larson stated the recommendations of the Planning Commission to deny the request is based on the fact that it is a nonconforming use, and as such the City should not allow an expansion of a nonconforming use, Mr. Filla stated it could be argued that no expansion of any kind is permitted on a nonconforming use, and part of the tower should come down, He noted that adding antennas to towers when no height is added to the tower is not considered expansion of a nonconforming use, Councilmember Grant stated the Council would be basing a decision on lack of information, He added that it has not been confirmed that the tower is actually 265 feet in height. He noted that page five ofthe staff memo shows the tower height to be 235 feet. He asked whether staff has confirmed the height of the tower, Ms, Chaput stated that staff was referring to the application which shows 265 feet. Mr. Filla stated that if the application is to expand the tower trom 235 feet to 265 feet, that is a physical expansion of a nonconforming use and would not be allowed, Mr. Reiling asked for clarification. Mr, Filla stated that nonconforming uses should find a graceful termination, He added that if the City allows nonconforming uses to perpetuate themselves, regulations will never be enforced. Mayor Probst stated that he would wish to proceed with the Planning Commission's recommendation to deny the request, adding the applicant can pursue the issue if they wish. . Councilmember Rem asked whether contact had been made with the applicant. Ms, Chaput stated that she spoke with a representative of the applicant prior to the Planning Commission meeting at which the issue was discussed. Staff was told that there would be representation at the Planning Commission meeting although the person failed to appear. Councilmember Rem asked whether the City would have some liability if the tower were not originally constructed to tolerate the additional height. Mr. Filla stated it is a possibility, adding he is not familiar with the facts in this case. Mr. Filla stated the record should show that the City was inclined to take more time to review the case, that the applicant was umesponsive to the City's inquiries, and consequently a decision was made based upon these circumstances, MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to deny Planning Case #00-27, amendment to the Special Use Permit for 1296 County Road F, to allow for installation of one antenna onto the existing tower and the installation of a new supporting platform on the ground, for the following reasons: 1. The physical enlargement of an existing nonconforming use by an additional antenna is not permitted by Section IX (D) of the City's Zoning Ordinance; . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - July 31, 2000 DRAfT 8 . 3. It appears that antennas have been illegally added to the existing tower in the past and the current tower appears to be taller than the original SUP permitted in 1972; Additional plans submitted by the applicant indicate that the tower will exceed the height specified in the Special Use Permit. 2. . The motion carried unanimously (5-0), 2. Case #00-29, MNDOT, 5400 Highway 8, Site Plan Review Ms, Chaput explained that the applicant is requesting a site plan review of a proposed expansion and remodeling of the existing Minnesota Department of Transportation drivers testing facility, located at 5400 Highway 8. The applicant proposes: a 2,765 square foot addition to the east and south sides of the structure; remodeling the existing building with new windows, mechanical system, finishes, etc,; simplifying the auto access for checking into the facility; relocating the motorcycle test area to the block west of the current building; converting the motorcycle test area to the east of the building to a staff parking lot; adding a public parking lot on the block to the north of the building, The State of Minnesota agencies are not required by law to abide by City Ordinance; however, . they are choosing to follow City Ordinances, The applicant is proposing an addition of 2,765 square feet onto the east and south sides ofthe existing drivers testing building, increasing the total footprint of the building to 6,500 square feet from 3,735 square feet, Rice Creek Watershed District will require final site drainage plan approval of this proposal because there will be an impervious addition on a site that is greater than 2.5 acres in size. Following Council action, the applicant will have to make application with the watershed district. The existing motorcycle test area to the east of the structure will be reconstructed as an employee parking lot, allowing for 34 spaces, A new parking lot is being constructed to the north of the structure, accommodating 42 spaces. To the west of the building is the new motorcycle test area, The total number of spaces available on site is 76 with the proposed addition and changes. There appear to be an adequate number of parking spaces on site for the employees and visitors. Ms, Chaput stated that the Plauning Commission recommends approval of Planning Case #00- 29, Site Plan Review of the Minnesota Department of Transportation drivers testing facility, located at 5400 County Road I, with 3 conditions, . Mayor Probst asked whether the north portion of the site, which appears to be a drainage basin, would provide ponding for the site. Ms, Chaput stated that issue did not come up at the Planning Commission meeting, adding it would be brought forth when Rice Creek Watershed approval was obtained. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - July 31, 2000 ":'l \-,,~ D;,-1\;~ t01J~ ~ "1i%t:-..~ Ii 9 . Mayor Probst stated the facility has been a good neighbor, and ideas are floating around with regard to the future oftheir property. He asked whether that issue was discussed with City staff. Ms. Chaput stated it was not discussed at the Planning Commission meeting, as it was decided that the development of the surrounding TCAAP property would be a long way down the road and future proposed zoning designations should not be imposed at this time. Councilmember Larson stated the retention pond on site would be made smaller by the proposed additional parking spaces. He asked how many spaces the site currently has, Ms. Chaput stated there are 18 existing spaces, Councilmember Larson asked whether the site's practice roads have curbs and gutters.

Case #00-11, City of Arden Hills, Zoning Ordinance Amendment Mr. Post noted that a number offaxes and letters had been received by Stafffrom residents with regard to this case, all of which were presented at the bench or the Council's review, Mayor Probst stated that the Council will not take action to adopt the ordinance, but rather to direct Staffto prepare the ordinance for adoption and publication, Ms. Chaput explained that in response to resident complaints, staff has identified some portions of the Zoning Ordinance that require revision in order to properly address complaints. The revisions are a result of researching other cities' ordinances as well as staff and Planning Commission discussions, Ms, Chaput reviewed amendments to Section II (D), Definitions, with regard to Item 1, pertaining to single family homes that are being used as student housing, The City has had a number of complaints on single family homes that have been converted into housing for numerous students attending the local colleges. The current code does not have any language in it to deter this type of activity within single family districts. This can be changed by amending some of the definitions, . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - July 31, 2000 ~'_:v;'; '~i ;;>. J-'~"~ Ui :4 10 . Mayor Probst asked whether the City Attorney was comfortable with the proposed amendments. Mr, Filla stated he is comfortable with the proposed language, adding that most cities have include such definition in their code. He noted that the definition is a legally acceptable concept and as such is defensible, Ms. Chaput reviewed amendments to Section II (D), Definitions; Section VI (A) #5, Size; and Section VI (F) #1 h, Parking Structures, with regard to Item 2, pertaining to accessory structures. Since there are restrictions on accessory buildings, a definition should be clearly defined and amended to include all accessory structures, Also, there is no limit on the amount of accessory structures permitted, Typically, cities limit this to one structure in addition to a detached garage, which is what is proposed, The accessory structure setbacks are in conflict in some sections (10' for accessory but some principal structures only require a 5' setback) so this language is proposed to be amended, Finally, the term "parking structure" is not defined in the code so it has been amended for "private garage" which is defined, Councilmember Larson stated the intention was that there be no more than two accessory structures on a lot. He asked whether a home with attached garage could still have two accessory structures. Ms, Chaput confirmed that the Planning Commission had agreed on that point, . Ms, Chaput reviewed amendments to Section VI (F) #3, Traffic and Circulation, with regard to Item 3, pertaining to accessibility to public streets, It is not clear in the ordinance that all newly created properties need to abut a public street. The only information that is provided does not refer to all districts. Ms, Chaput reviewed amendments to Section VI (F) #1 C, Construction Standards, and Section VI (F), #3 C, Driveways, with regard to Item 4, pertaining to driveways, There are no regulations on the number of driveways that a property has or that parking vehicles in the front yard is prohibited, Plus, there is no language that specifically states that new driveways tor any type of dwelling unit must be paved, There is also concern about existing language that allows for the paving of a driveway to occur right up to a lot line without a setback. Finally, State and County regulations for streets should be confirmed with these regulatory bodies at that time and the code should not list their requirements, in the case that they have changed or are incorrect. Mayor Probst asked how this item will affect nonconforming properties. Ms, Chaput stated that nonconforming uses would not be allowed to be created, Councilmember Larson asked whether curb and gutter will be required for residential properties, Ms. Chaput stated the recommended changes with regard to curb and gutter do not apply to single family homes, . .'. ( r 11 ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - July 31, 2000 . Councilmember Larson expressed concern that a limit of three cars parked in a driveway is too limiting, particularly if four unrelated individuals reside there, Ms. Chaput stated the Planning Commission's decision was based on the assumption that most properties have at least a single car garage, adding it was though to be fair to allow three cars parked on the driveway. Councilmember Larson stated it is still a problem if the is no garage on the property. Councilmember Aplikowski agreed, adding she would wish to see the amendment changed to a limit of four cars. Ms, Chaput reviewed amendments to Section VI (E) #4 D, Barbs or Spikes on Fences, with regard to Item 5, pertaining to fences. There are regulations for agricultural fences in the City, These types offences are typically prohibited in cities that do not have agricultural districts or vacant land that may be used for agricultural purposes in the future, Staff proposes that they be prohibited. The term "agricultural use" is identified as a permitted and accessory use in the City, From a planning perspective, encouraging agricultural uses does not meet the intentions of the Comprehensive Plan, This use should be eliminated from the land use chart so that it is no longer permitted, Councilmember Aplikowski asked whether this amendment would impact the business community, Ms. Chaput stated the amendment would apply to all fences within the City until . they are removed, Mayor Probst stated that the fence surrounding the arsenal property would be in violation of this amendment. Councilmember Aplikowski stated that some businesses should be allowed to have protective fences, particularly those bordering railroad tracks, Mayor Probst suggested this section could be revised to allow such fences under a special use permit only. Ms, Chaput agreed, Ms, Chaput reviewed amendments to Section IX (H), Amortization of Noncontorming Use, with regard to Item 6, pertaining to amortization, In the 1999 Legislative Session, the City's power to amortize land uses was revoked, as stated in Chapter 96-S.F, No, 854, The only uses that a city may amortize are those relating to, " , ' . adult -only bookstores, adults-only theatres, or similar adults-only business as defined by ordinance, ' ." and for ". , , the prevention or abatement of nuisances, , . or eliminating a use determined to be a public nuisance, . .", Therefore, the language that is currently in the Zoning Ordinance regarding amortizing nonconforming uses should be revised, Ms, Chaput reviewed amendments and renumbering of all pages, Sections and the Table of Contents in the City of Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance, with regard to Item 7, pertaining to the ordinance numbering system. The numbering system of the ordinance is currently in Roman numerals and is difficult to follow. Staff proposes that this be changed for ease of use as well as the page numbering system, numbering pages from one (1) to the last page of the document. Also, for ease of future revisions, the document should be placed in a binder with section tabs, . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - July 31, 2000 .~ ~ 12 . Ms, Chaput stated that the Planning Commission recommends that Planning Case #00-11, Zoning Ordinance Amendments, be approved and staffbe directed to prepare the formal ordinance for adoption at the next regular City Council meeting, Councilmember Aplikowski stated that some residences might have a problem with limiting the number of driveways, Ms, Chaput stated only one access should be permitted, but such change can not be mandated on existing homes who exceed that limit. Mayor Probst stated a variance could be requested for future cases. Ms, Aplikowski asked why the word "paved" was used under Item 4. Ms, Chaput stated the Planning Commission decided that the term "paved" included many possibilities. Kirk Soldner, 1923 Noble Road, stated he moved to the community 13 years ago because it was different from other communities and had a rural feel. He added he believes the proposed ordinance amendments take away from the original village aspects of the community and he objects to the changes in principle as well as having some issues with the proposed wording, He noted that legislation should only be enacted if there is a demonstrated need, consideration of a variety of viewpoints, minimum legislation necessary, and anticipation of unintended consequences. . Mr, Soldner stated he likes to see students in his neighborhood as long as they abide by the rules of the City. He added in his opinion it is unfair to assume that many students living in one dwelling will result in problems, He noted it is prejudiced to assume they will have numerous vehicles, Mr. Soldner suggested the following wording changes: Under Definition 43, Dwelling, replace "dwelling" with "dwelling unit", Under Definition 47, Dwelling Unit, rctain existing wording, Under Definition 53, Family, retain existing wording as proposed amendments are limiting. He added the proposed wording might be challenged as discriminatory, Mr. Soldner stated, with regard to Item 2, Accessory Structures, he is unsure why the term "private garage" is necessary and the existing wording should be retained. Mr. Soldner stated, with regard to Item 4, Driveways and Parking, surfaces other than paved surfaces should be acceptable and residents should be allowed to try other options. He expressed concern that the proposed changes are restrictive, and a limit of three cars is unacceptable. He added that the term "regular basis" should be defined, Mr. Soldner stated, with regard to Item 5, Fencing, that agricultural uses within the City should not be discouraged, and electrical and barbed fences should be allowed for commercial properties. He added that electric fences for use in private gardens should be allowed as they are inconspicuous, harmless to humans and do not kill animals, . Mr. Soldner urged the Council to enact legislation only where it is needed and address only real problems with the minimum amount ofrestriction imposed on residents. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - July 31, 2000 .>~; , ';j 13 . Mayor Probst stated that the proposed ordinance amendments are the result ofresident complaints which have been difficult to resolve. Laura Valenziano, 1890 Noble Road, stated she lives next door to a home where students are living, adding she has no problems with the home. She noted that residents should be more accepting of their neighbors rather than limiting the City to a certain class of people, Ms. Valenziano stated that her student neighbors are friendly, helpful and quiet. She expressed concern that other neighbors brought the issue to the Council rather than discuss it with the homeowners to be resolved within the community. She added she believes the Council is opening the door for discrimination legislation, and the creation of an elitist community. Ms, Valenziano stated the proposed amendment restricting the number of cars parked in a driveway to three cars would affect a majority of homes in the City. She added the problems which might be caused by a group of students, such as noise pollution or crime, can be resolved under existing laws. Councilmember Aplikowski asked how many students live next door to Ms, Valenziano. She stated she believes there are eleven students, She added that noise is not a problem, . Ferdinand Peters, 1708 Portland Avenue, St. Paul, stated he is a legal representative of homeowners Jerry and Julie Warner, 1898 Noble Road, who own the home in question. He added he would wish Staff to review the issue further before enactment of the proposed amendments. He noted the neighbors' main concern with the Warner's property is parking, adding the homeowners have always worked with the City and neighbors whenever necessary, Mr. Peters stated he contacted the Assistant Dean of Student Housing at Bethel College, and learned they do not have dormitory spaces for all their students, He added that his clients have a strict lease policy which follows the rules and protocol of Bethel College, Mr, Peters stated his clients have obtained the necessary permits for parking on their property, adding the proposed changes could result in legal action. Councilmember Aplikowski asked how many cars are parked at the home, Mr. Warner stated there are spaces for 11 cars. Dick Wenzel, 1931 Noble Road, stated he has lived on this street tor 28 years and has never had any problems with the students, He asked why the Council would add more legislation when the City does not enforce the laws already enacted. Mayor Probst stated that City staff respond to issues on a complaint basis, Jerry Warner, owner ofthe property at 1898 Noble Road, stated hc purchased the property when his two daughters, students at the City's colleges, were unable to find a suitable rental property, He added the colleges do not have sufficient housing for student enrollment, He noted the property at 1898 Noble Road is a two family dwelling which fit their needs perfectly, . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - July 31, 2000 ~~' i 14 Mr. Warner stated that parking issues were resolved when he obtained a permit through the City to create additional parking spaces for the students. He added the garage is used for study space, and he enforces a strict lease, He reiterated he has sufficient offstreet parking tor his tenants. Mayor Probst asked for Mr. Warner's ideas with regard to his intentions for the property. Mr. Warner stated he might sell the home after his daughters are out of college, and convert it back to a single family home, Mayor Probst stated the fundamental concern expressed by neighbors is the amount of parking, and the way such a home changes the character ofthe neighborhood. He added that the next owner ofthe home might not have the same management approach as Mr. Warner. Rick Patzlaff, 1885 Noble Road, stated he supports the resolution regardless of how the home at 1898 Noble Road is maintained, He added the neighborhood is in an R-2 zone, and the equivalent of an apartment complex is not desirable, SueKath, 1895 Noble Road, stated she built her home 23 years ago on that street because of its residential nature, She added that although the students are well-behaved, the home has become a commercial property and will affect her property value, She noted she would have moved to a college campus if that was the type of neighborhood in which she wished to live, Councilmember Larson stated this issue has been raised in other neighborhoods, including his own, adding it will come up again in the future, He added it is not the City's responsibility to provide housing for college students who need places to live. He noted the ordinance still allows four unrelated individuals to live in a home, which is reasonable, Councilmember Larson stated that the City must control the number of homes that may be turned into dormitories because of the overflow of college students, Councilmember Aplikowski stated this is a management issue, adding that good housing depends upon good management, She noted that although Mr. Warner manages his property well, the next owner might not do so, Councilmember Aplikowski expressed opposition to the proposed changes to Definition 47, Family. Councilmember Rem stated it is necessary to have restrictions on the number of people living in a home, adding the Planning Commission is responding to that issue, She expressed her support of enacting guidelines to address the issue more explicitly, Councilmember Grant stated that the number of people living in a home, parking, and activity on the property are issues that need to be dealt with by the City, . Mayor Probst stated there are many areas in the community other than Noble Road where the conversion of single family homes has been an issue. He added he agrees with Councilmember . . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - July 31, 2000 15 Larson's comment that the it is not the City's responsibility to create housing for college students. Mayor Probst stated that many of the City's residents bought their homes based on the nature of the community, He added the Council has an obligation to restrict the future proliferation of such rental properties.

Mayor Probst agreed. Councilmember Aplikowski stated that more information is necessary before the Council could make decisions, Councilmember Rem noted that Councilmembers will be absent at various upcoming meetings, Mr. Filla stated four votes are required to pass the amendments.

Round Lake Rd. Arden Hills, MN 55112 Re: Planning Case #00-11 Zoning Ordinance Amendments Dear Mayor and Council Members: We are in favor of the proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance as outlined in the memorandum from Jennifer Chaput, City Planner, to Mayor and City Council dated July 10,2000. We have lived here for 13 years and have twQdaughters aged 6 and 4. We have several reasons for being in favor of these changes, mainly stemming from the house next to us - 1898 Noble Road. This house was sold two years ago and has been converted to a "dorm" for college students. The owner has told us there are currently 1 I people living there. Usually there are 9 to 12 vehicles at the residence overnight, counting those parked in the driveway, parked in the street (often in front the fire hydrant that is between our driveways), and parked illegally in the Sampson Park parking lot. Our front lawn has been driven on multiple times because the residents did not want to move the cars that were blocking them in on their driveway. The owner has since put up a fence to put an end to such behavior - an action we would like to think could have been solved by other means, like respect for property and common sense. Visibility is also an issue with this number of vehicles, especially when our daughters like to ride their bicycles/tricycles or when Bob leaves for work in the morning. We don't appreciate living next to a parking lot. Weare also concerned about the number of people in the house. Just a couple of people having a "few friends" over means parking up and down both sides of the street. Recently we have counted as many as 11 cars in the street from friends visiting them on weekday evenings (between 7:30 and 10:00 PM). This creates problems for everyone driving on .... . Noble Road. We have had cars parked in front of our house with people we do not know just sitting in them - kind of unnerving. For all we know, they're "casing" our house. We have also heard directly from the owner of alcohol being served to minors inside the residence. The owner has converted the garage to living space - one window has been boarded up, the garage door has been sealed shut, and some type of heating unit added, which vents out the side. (Has this been inspected? It seems kind of suspect to us.) The owner also seems to be claiming the dwelling is a duplex, yet it has a single address and single front door access (it is a split entry). Prior to its sale, it was a one family home, which did have a finished basement that included a kitchen in the basement. The owner has also been negligent in upkeep of the lawn and landscaping. The lawn has been cut only four times so far this year (approximately once a month, while we have had to mow ours once a week to keep up) and several shrubs have become overgrown and laced with weeds. We have worked hard and take a lot of pride in how our house and yard look - unfortunately, not everyone else feels the same civic pride. This hurts the entire neighborhood This large number of residents also generates a great deal of garbage. The garbage can is overflowing nearly every week, creating a health concern. When they have excess garbage, they just pile it up on the ground around the garbage can (the same size garbage can we have for the four of us). . This has been a very nice, quiet, family-oriented neighborhood With a few exceptions, the people living there are not a problem; it's the excessive number of people and vehicles we oppose. We also have concerns regarding the impact this rental property may have on our property value. Our understanding of the proposed changes would help this and as they are not out of line with other cities' ordinances, we strongly encourage each of you to vote in favor of the changes. Thank you for your serious consideration of these issues. Sincerely, D~~ ~~ Bob & Shannon Johnson 1902 Noble Road 651-633-8464 . .

MEMORANDUM DATE: August 10, 2000 TO: SUBJECT: Joe Lynch, City Administrator Terry Post, City Treasurer (@ ;'- Sheila Stowell, Administrative Secreta c ':> Appointment of Election Judges, September 12,2000 State Primary Election FROM: Backl!:round Attached is a list of Election Judges recommended for appointment to serve at the 2000 Primary Election to be held on September 12, 2000. The list constitutes those names received through party caucuses held this spring; the Ramsey County Auditor; public advertisements and requests (City newsletter, Ramsey County and the Secretary of State's Office); as well as those judges having served the City in prior elections. This is in accordance with Minnesota Statute 204B.2l. . There are four (4) major political parties this year (Constitution, Democratic-Farmer-Labor, Reform, and Republican). Judges will be assigned to each of the four precincts to ensure party balance and to provide an adequate number of judges for efficient operations. Each judge will receive the required training by staff, with the Head Judges at each location receiving an additional hour of training. Historically, the City has considered service as an election judge to be community service, but has reimbursed each judge a minimum hourly wage ($5.15), with each of the four (4) chairpersons (Head Election Judges) reimbursed at an additional $.30 per hour. Staffis requesting an increase from $.30 to $.50 per hour for these four individuals, to better reflect their actual responsibilities and judgement at each precinct. Please note that we anticipate having one (I) trainee election judge this year (high school student) and I recommend we pay $4.25 per hour, as an employee in training. A trainee election judge is limited in the areas in which they can serve on Election Day. Staff recommends that City Hall serve as the Absentee Ballot Precinct, as was done in 1998. Recommendation The City Council must appoint election judges to serve at each election within the City. Staff recommends that the City Council appoint the Election Judges listed on the attached sheets to serve for the September Primary Election, and authorize appointment of additional Judges as may be necessary. .

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: August 2, 2000 TO: Mayor and City Council Jennifer Chaput, City Planne~ Planning Case #00-11 Zoning Ordinance Amendments FROM: SUBJECT: Rellnest The City of Arden Hills requests that the Zoning Ordinance be revised according to previous discussions by the Planning Commission and staff, as outlined below in the "proposed changes" section of this memo. Backl!Tound In response to resident complaints, staff has identified that some portions of the Zoning Ordinance that require revision in order to properly address complaints. The revisions are a result of researching other cities' ordinances as well as staff and Planning Commission discussions. The recommendations of the Planning Commission came before the City Council on July 3 I, 2000. At that time, the City Council tabled discussion of the amendments to the next regular meeting on August 14, 2000. Since this time, City's planning consultant had been consulted on the definition of "family" as it is used in other cities and some additional recommendations were made. The existing language from the Zoning Ordinance is shown in regular type. In the proposed changes, the language that should be deleted is sfHelceli and new language that should be added is shown in CAPITAL LETTERS. ProDosed Chanl!es 1. The City has received a number of complaints in the past on single family homes that have been converted into housing for numerous students attending the local colleges. The current code does not have any language in it to deter this type of activity, essentially allowing multifamily dwellings in single-family zoning districts. Following discussions with the City's planning consultant, it was also recommended that the definition of "household" be amended since it did not match the other definition amendments being proposed. Some additional language has also been added to the definition of "family" in order to address state law regarding group homes, as recommended by the City's planning consultant. . Amend Section II (0) Definitions, numbers 43, 47,53 and 66 as follows: 43. Dwelling. A building, or portion thereof, designed or used exclusively for human haBitation, aFu:l eSflsisting sf eRC or mere a~TT/011illg 1:l.fl1ts RESIDENTIAL OCCUPANCY, INCLUDING SINGLE-FAMILY, TWO- FAMILY AND MULTIPLE FAMILY USES, BUT NOT INCLUDING HOTELS, MOTELS, NURSING HOMES, BOARDING OR ROOMING HOUSES, TENTS, SEASONAL CABINS, OR MOTOR HOMES OR TRAVEL TRAILERS. 47.

(THESE REGULATIONS SHALL NOT BE APPLIED SO AS TO PREVENT THE CITY FROM MAKING REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION AS REQUIRED BY THE FEDERAL FAIR HOUSING AMENDMENTS ACT OF 1988). 66. Household. The person or persons occupying a single dwelling unit. A hORsehela may ceRsist ef a single family, eHe ]3erS0n liying alone, 1'.ve er more families li?ing together er any grstljl ef lin relatea persens '.vae sflllfe liviag; arFlIRgemeftts. . 2. The definition for "building, accessory" is not inclusive of all structures. Since there are restrictions on accessory structures, it should be clearly defined. Also, there is no limit on the amount of accessory structures permitted. The accessory structure setbacks are in conflict in some sections (10' for accessory structures yet principal structures in the same district only require a 5' setback) so this language is proposed to be amended. 2 . . . Finally, the term "parking structure" is not defined in the code so it has been amended for "private garage" which is defined. Amend Section II (D) #19, Building, accessory and renumber accordingly: 19. BailEliag, asssssor/. ACCESSORY BUILDING, STRUCTURE OR USE. - A subordinate building, tfie Hse ef whisll is iaeiEleatal to tile j'lrffieipallJUilElillg Elr HSe Elf tile lot. STRUCTURE, OR USE WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE SAME LOT ON WHICH THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING OR USE IS SITUATED AND WHICH IS REASONABLY NECESSARY, APPROPRIATE AND INCIDENTAL TO THE CONDUCT OF THE PRIMARY USE OF SUCH PRINCIPAL BUILDING OR PRINCIPAL USE. Amend Section VI (A) #5, Size as follows: 5. Size. In R-l and R-2 Districts, no accessory structure shall exceed seven hundred twenty eight (728) square feet in floor area and for accessory structures located in the rear of a principle structure, the total floor area of all such accessory structures shall not exceed twenty-five (25) percent of the minimum required rear yard area for the principal structure BUT THERE SHALL BE NO MORE THAN TWO (2) ACCESSORY STRUCTURES ON A LOT. Amend Section VI (F) #1 h, Parking Structures as follows: (h) P-arking St,"UehmJ5. PRIVATE GARAGES. The minimum setbacks ofparkiag strnetlffss PRIVATE GARAGES shall be AS REQUIRED FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURES the S81tiS as for j'lriaeipal lmilEliags in the district and the exterior finish shall be compatible with the principal building served by the parkiag stffietHrs PRIVATE GARAGE. Amend Section V (F) District Requirements Chart as follows: R-2 R-3 R-4 NB 8. Minimum Building Setbacks (ft) Side Yard Interior - Principal (Minltotal both yards on lot) 5/15 5/15 5115 5/15 Side Yard Interior - .w .w .w .w AccessoTV 5 5 5 5 3. It is not clear in the ordinance that all newly created properties need to abut a public street. The only information that is provided does not refer to all districts. Amend Section VI (F) #3, Traffic and Circulation as follows: 3 . . . a. Accessibility to Public Streets. All commercial and industrial buildings or structures and their accessory uses AND RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT DWELLING UNITS shall be accessible to and from A nearby public streets. 4. The number of driveways or curb cuts for a residential property is not limited. There are no requirements to pave driveway surfaces, setbacks to a driveway or permitted parking locations on a lot. Complaints regarding the number of vehicles on a property at one time are addressed by limiting the number of vehicles permitted outside of a garage. Other cities were researched specifically on this issue and it was found that it is generally dealt with by limiting the width of a driveway which in turn limits the number of vehicles that can park at any given time. Generally, cities have a minimum (not maximum) number of spaces required of two per dwelling unit. The proposed number of a maximum of three cars on a driveway was a result of Planning Commission discussion and the proposed number has not changed from further research. Finally, State and County regulations for streets should be confirmed with these regulatory bodies at that time and the code should not list their requirements, in the case that they have changed or are incorrect. Amend Section VI (F) #1 C , Construction Standards, as follows: C. Construction Standards. Those standards apply to all development ~ siRgle family aRa two family reaideRees. (I) Surfacing. Off-street parking areas and drives shall be improved with eHlIHliRsuS, eEJRerete sr aoplJ.altie eORerete A PAVED surface. Such areas shall be so graded and drained so as to dispose of all surface water accumulation within the area as required by the Rice Creek Watershed district. (2) Curbs. A concrete curb and gutter shall be constructed FOR ALL DEVELOPMENTS according to the requirements of the City EXCEPT FOR SINGLE AND TWO-FAMILY RESIDENCES. Amend Section VI (F) #3 C, Driveways, as follows: (1) Driveway widths. THE PERMITTED WIDTH OF ACCESSES TO COUNTY OR STATE STREETS OR ROADS ARE SUBJECT TO COUNTY OR STATE REGULATIONS. The following are the required driveway widths for driveways accessing the following types of streets or roads, the measurements being between the edges of the driveway at right angles thereto: TYPES RESIDENTIAL (infeet) Min. - Max.

(4) Proximity to lot lines. Access drives may be placed adjacent to property lines, but in no case shall a driveway be placed nearer than five (5) feet to an eJlistiftg drive Sft ElH abutting~. PROPERTY LINE. Add to Section VI (F) #3 C, Driveways, and renumber accordingly: (I) ACCESS TO STREETS. EACH PROPERTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO AT LEAST ONE ACCESS TO A PUBLIC STREET. SINGLE FAMILY USES SHALL BE LIMITED TO ONE (I) ACCESS PER PROPERTY. (7) PROHIBITED AREAS. . IN ALL RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS, PARKING SHALL BE PROHIBITED IN ANY AREA, EXCEPT ON DESIGNATED DRIVEWAYS LEADING DIRECTLY INTO A GARAGE. THERE MAY BE NO MORE THAN THREE VEHICLES PARKED ON THE DRIVEWAY ON A REGULAR BASIS. 5. The City of Arden Hills does not have any agricultural districts, yet there are regulations for agricultural fences and agricultural uses (as both permitted and accessory in certain zoning districts). From a planning perspective, encouraging agricultural uses do not meet the intentions ofthe Comprehensive Plan. Amend Section VI (E) #4 D, Barbs or Spikes on Fences as follows: d. ELECTRIC FENCES AND Barbs or Spikes on Fences. No ABOVE GRADE fence shall have barbs or spikes at Bfi)' ]9siBt less tIJ.!IIl six (6) feet a8sve the gfslIftd, eJme]9t '::here the feHee is useEi fsr Rgrisliltlffill ]91lI]3sses OR BE OF METAL CONSTRUCTION WHICH IS CHARGED OR CONNECTED WITH ELECTRICAL CURRENT WITHIN ANY DISTRICT OF THE CITY. THESE FENCING TYPES SHALL ONLY BE PERMITTED THROUGH A SPECIAL USE PERMIT. . 5 . . . Strike "Agriculture" as a use from Section V, Land Use Chart as follows: USES R-I R-2 IT IT R-3 IT R-4 NO 8-1 B-2 B-3 8-4 GB I-I 1-2 I-FLEX IT P IT P 6. In the 1999 Legislative Session, the City's power to amortize land uses was revoked, as stated in Chapter 96-S.F. No 854. The only uses that a city may amortize are those relating to, "...adult-only bookstores, adults-only theatres, or similar adults-only business as defined by ordinance..." and for "...the prevention or abatement of nuisances.. .or eliminating a use determined to be a public nuisance.. .". Therefore, the language that is currently in the zoning ordinance regarding amortizing nonconforming uses should be revised. Amend Section IX (H), Amortization of Nonconforming Use as follows: H. Amortization ofNOlicsflfsmHflg IIse ALLOWED BY LAWS OF MINNESOTA 1999, CHAPTER 96 }. lmilaiflg eOflstiHitiftg or eoataifliflg a floRcsflfoffilmg ase shaH Be tom as?:fl alia remtr/ea from the let OR ~.'"lhieh it is leeated, or e0wlertca to a eSflfoFFfliRg use, BY tRe efu4 of a TeaseRaBle perioa of amortizatioR thereof; iR He ease less tflBH five (5) years after Rstifieatisfl BY the eity eOlmeil. THE CITY HAS THE AUTHORITY TO ENACT AND ENFORCE AN AMORTIZATION OF USE ORDINANCE PURSUANT TO LAWS OF MINNESOTA 1999, CHAPTER 96. 7. The numbering system of the ordinance is currently in Roman numerals and is difficult to follow. Staff proposes that this be changed for ease of use as well as the page numbering system, numbering pages from one (I) to the last page ofthe document. Also, for ease of future revisions, the document should be placed in a binder with section tabs. Amend and renumber all pages, Sections and the Table of Contents of the City of Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance as follows: SECTION J, 1 SECTION If, 2 SECTION lIh 3 SECTION W. 4 SECTION "I. 5 SECTION '#. 6 SECTION J,lH, 7 SECTION .vm, 8 SECTION ~ 9 SECTION ~10 SECTION ')g, 11 SECTION;om. 12 SECTION *HI. 13 TITLE, PURPOSE AND INTENT RULES, SCOPE, INTERPRETATION AND DEFINITIONS MINIMUM ORDINANCE COMPLIANCE ZONING MAP AND BOUNDARIES OF ZONING DISTRlCTS DISTRlCT PROVISIONS GENERAL REGULATIONS SPECIAL USES ADMINISTRATION AND PROCEDURES NON-CONFORMING USES, BUILDINGS AND LOTS SPECIAL PROVISIONS BUILDING PERMITS AND CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY ENFORCEMENT EFFECTUATION 6 . . . Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council accept the Zoning Ordinance amendments outlined in the City Planner's memo, dated August 2, 2000 and to be directed to prepare the formal ordinance for the next regular City Council meeting on August 28, 2000. Dodates Letters were sent to those residents who submitted written responses to the proposed ordinance amendments at the last City Council meeting. They were informed that this issue would be revisited at the August 14 City Council meeting. 7 . . . AUG-09-2000 15:33 BRW ;< fl2 373 6526 P.01/07 -.,.,- "--hJO . -\ .BRW A-~ 6.
