Old Business
Newsletter
Mayor Artig-Swomley shared that she would like to get a newsletter ready to be sent out after the
September meeting for October. Mayor Artig-Swomley presented ideas for the next edition of the City
Newsletter to include pieces on the school supply donation, preliminary budget public hearing, election
info, option for online payment option, the approved deer hunts and dead trees being removed.

McCollum that the funding for this project has been included to advance to the next step in the process.

City Council Pay Discussion
Mayor Artig-Swomley suggested that the Council table the discussion on Council pay until all City Council
members are in attendance. Councilmember Lindner introduced a motion to table to discussion on Council
pay until the September meeting, seconded by Councilmember Cacioppo. Motion carried 3-0.
New Business
Ordinance No. 91 Administration Discussion
Mayor Artig-Swomley shared that Acting City Clerk Melissa Lawrence has submitted a draft version of the
ordinance for review by the Council. The ordinance has not been updated since 2008. Language was added
regarding Planning Commission meetings and attendance and suggested removal of Section 5 regarding
Parks and Recreation Committee because the city does not have that type of committee. Mayor Artig-
Swomley asked City Attorney Kevin Beck if Section 5 needed to be in the ordinance or if it would be ok to
remove it. Mr. Beck stated that it is not mandated to be in the ordinance and can be removed if the city does
not have such a committee.
The Council was satisfied with the suggested changes. Councilmember Lindner introduced a motion to
approve the suggested changes to Ordinance No. 91 as presented, seconded by Councilmember Cacioppo.
Motion carried 3-0.
BS&A Accounts Receivable Quote
Mayor Artig-Swomley shared with the Council that City Treasurer Tom Kelly is recommending approval
of the full version of the accounting module as the Township is finding it difficult to complete accounts
receivable and payable tasks using the current LITE version. The upgrade will give the Township the
ability to balance accounts and have access to reports that are currently unavailable because of the LITE
version currently being used. The quote is in the total of $3,590.00 with an annual fee of $2,340.00.
Councilmember Lindner introduced a motion to approve the quote for the upgraded module, seconded by
Councilmember Cacioppo. Motion carried 3-0.
Electronic Payment Processing Service Quotes
Acting City Clerk Melissa Lawrence obtained quotes from two (2) companies that would give the city the
ability to collect payments online for permits and utility bills. Quote were received from Invoice Cloud and
BS&A Integrated Payments. Both companies offer similar services. Invoice Cloud is the more expensive of
the two (2), but it used more commonly in neighboring cities and towns. White Bear Township utilizes
Invoice Cloud for their online payment portal and to keep systems consistent the Mayor suggested that the
city approve the quote from Invoice Cloud. After review of the services and some discussion on what the
city would like to cover versus put on the applicant to be responsible for in terms of fees, Councilmember
Cacioppo introduced a motion to accept the quote from Invoice Cloud, seconded by Councilmember
Lindner. Motion carried 3-0.
Villas Entrance Tree Removal Quotes
There are several dead trees located at the entrance of the Villas development. Several trees have fallen
during past storms that have taken place. The quote received from Precision Landscape & Tree is for the
removal off eleven (11) dead trees that include 10 pine and 1 spruce. The quote includes the cost of labor &
dumping fees in the amount of $2,950.00. Councilmember Lindner introduced a motion to approve the tree
removal quote, seconded by Councilmember Cacioppo. Motion carried 3-0.
Archery Deer Hunting Applications
7 & 11 Daniels Farm Road
A permit request for a hunt on private property located at 7 & 11 Daniels Farm Road was
received. The requested dates of the hunt will be September 14-16, November 1-3, and November
15-17. The hunting party consists of 13 hunters, all of which have obtained their Bow Hunters
Certification and a MN DNR Hunting License. Deer stand locations were given and consent of
neighbors has been received.

Councilmember Lindner introduced a motion to approve the Archery Deer Hunting application at
7 & 11 Daniels Farm Road, seconded by Councilmember Cacioppo. Motion carried 3-0.
Future Charitable Gambling Donations
White Bear Lake Emergency Food Shelf
Mayor Artig-Swomley suggested that the Council donate in September in the amount of $1,500.00
to the White Bear Lake Emergency Food Shelf. Councilmember Lindner introduced a motion to
request a donation in the amount of $1,500.00 for the White Bear Lake Emergency Food Shelf,
seconded by Councilmember Cacioppo. Motion carried 3-0.
Community Outreach to Other Cities and Government Bodies
Mayor Artig-Swomley asked City Attorney Kevin Beck if he has any update on the request with Vadnais Heights.
Mr. Beck responded that there is no update. Mayor Artig-Swomley asked if Mr. Beck could reach out to Vadnais
Heights and see if they would be willing to act on the request without continuing to wait for the case with the DNR
to come to a resolution.
Mayor Artig-Swomley shared with the Council that herself and City Attorney Kevin Beck met with The City of
White Bear Lake and their attorney to discuss the additional principal and interest Gem Lake is being charged to
make up for the fact that White Bear Lake went over budget on their construction budget for the new police and fire
bay. City Attorney Kevin Beck shared that in the fire contract it does have language regarding charges for principal,
but it does not say anything about interest. In his professional opinion, Gem Lake has no contractual obligation to
pay the interest on the White Bear Lake bonds. While in this meeting a decision was made that Gem Lake would
pay the principal amount that is past due but will hold off on paying the interest. The amounts being requested from
White Bear Lake for payment are being set aside by City Treasurer Tom Kelly in the case that the city does end up
being required to pay.
Presentation from the Public, 2 Minutes Maximum
Commission Member Don Cummings wanted to share that he thought the meeting with Barnett went very well. He
shared some of his thoughts on the process that the Commission is making with the request.
Open Items for Council Members to Bring Up
Mayor Artig-Swomley wanted to get the opinion of those on the council regarding the selection of holiday lighting
for Heritage Hall. All those on the council agreed that red and green together should be avoided. Mayor Artig-
Swomley assigned Acting City Clerk Melissa Lawrence to make the final decision for the holiday lights colors.

Public Hearings
1201 County Road E East – White Bear Montessori School Variance Request for Shed Setback from
Side Yard
City Planner Evan Monson summarized the request. The White Bear Montessori School (WBMS) operates
at 1201 County Road E East, at the southwest corner of the city. The school is in the midst of an expansion
project that started earlier this year. Building permits for the project were issued by the City in April of
2024. The project includes an addition onto the existing school and exterior improvements to the site. As
part of the project, a 14-foot by 16-foot storage shed was constructed on the south side of the property. The
shed was placed at a setback of 33.2 feet from the south lot line, which is within the required side yard
setback of 50 feet. Prior to the new construction on the property, a storage shed of similar size was located
on the property, just east of the parking lot, at a setback of 62 feet from the south lot line.
The Building Department inspected the site and noted that the shed was within the setback from the side lot
line. Building Department staff notified the applicant’s contractor and noted that the two options were to
move the shed to a compliant setback or request a variance from the city to keep the shed in the existing
location.
The project plans were forwarded to staff and other agencies for comments prior to the Planning
Commission meeting.
• Ramsey County
o County staff is currently reviewing the plans and had not submitted comments at the time
of drafting this report.
• Vadnais Heights Watershed Management Organization (VLAWMO)
o The watershed staff had no comments on this request.
• Building Inspector
o The Building Inspector confirmed that the site of the proposed shed was included in their
plans that were approved for building permits in April of 2024. The as-built shed does not
meet setback requirements, but it was noted that other requirements are met.
• Engineering
o Engineering staff are currently reviewing the submitted plans and had not submitted
comments at the time of drafting this report.
Commissioner Pratt introduced a motion to open the public hearing on the matter at 7:06 p.m., seconded by
Commissioner Cummings. Motion carried 3-0.
City of Gem Lake Planning Commission Meeting Minutes September 10, 2024 2 | Page
The applicants shared their rational for the request and identified ‘impact criteria’ in consideration of their
variance request.
1. Adjacent uses – Within Gem Lake city boundaries to the east along County Rd E East and to the
north along Labore Rd, the property borders two single family home properties. Both properties
are screened from the school property by dense brush and tree foliage. In addition, both adjacent
properties (along with other nearby properties along the roadways) also maintain accessory
structures along their right-of-way frontages at approximately 30-foot setbacks.
2. Air and water quality – The project team does not consider the shed to have impacts on air and
water quality. Locating the shed outside of the setback would require additional pavement and
would harm water quality.
3. Traffic generation – The shed at its as-built location allows space for 2 additional parking stalls
[compared to a setback-compliant location]. These two stalls decrease the number of visitors
needing to park at the office center across Labore Rd from the school property.
4. Public safety and health – The garbage dumpsters and property maintenance equipment were
previously housed in a dilapidated shed just to the north and east of the as-built shed. The
previously existing building was in danger of collapse. The new building provides a much safer
enclosure than previously provided.
5. Area aesthetics – The as-built shed is clad in materials similar in aesthetics to the school building
and new addition. Existing, mature pine trees provide partial screening of the shed from the
roadway.
6. Economic impact on the entire area – The project team does not consider there to be an economic
impact on the area.
7. Consistency with the comprehensive plan – The project team considers the as-built shed in
consistency with the surrounding neighborhood and other accessory structure setbacks at adjacent
properties.
Commissioner Pratt introduced a motion to close the public hearing on the matter at 7:20 p.m., seconded by
Commissioner Cummings, Motion carried 3-0.
The Commission discussed the information and understood that it was an oversight on the City’s part by
approving the designs. Commission Chair Patrick asked City Attorney Kevin Beck’s advice on the situation
and if the City has any obligation to grant this variance due to the already approved plans. Mr. Beck shared
that the city does not have an obligation, and it is to be denied or granted based on if the City sees that they
have endured undue hardship. Members of the Commission all saw no problems with the current location
the shed was built. No changes are being suggested to an ordinance, and these situations will be taken case
by case and will work to prevent this from happening in the future.
City Planner Evan Monson shared that the Commission has options for next steps. If the commissioners
find the request does not meet the criteria for a variance, the commission can direct staff to prepare a
resolution of denial for the City Council to consider. If the commissioners recommend approval of the
request, the commission can direct staff to prepare a resolution of approval to include conditions
recommended by staff.
Commissioner Pratt introduced a motion to recommend approval to the City Council based on the
conditions by staff, seconded by Commissioner Cummings. Motion carried 3-0.

Zoning Requests – Barnett Kia (Zoning Compliance Request, Lot Line Adjustment Request, Zoning
Amendment Request)
City Planner Evan Monson summarized the requests. At the August 14, 2024, Planning Commission
meeting, commissioners moved to table this request for additional review by the City Engineer, Building
Inspector, and other contacted agencies. The city also exercised a 60-day review period extension for the
request, as permitted by Minnesota Statue 15.99.
City of Gem Lake Planning Commission Meeting Minutes September 10, 2024 3 | Page
At 3610 Highway 61, Barnett Companies is looking to remove their existing building (31,865 SF) and
build a new one (34,060 SF) on the north side of their property. The building would be an upgraded version
of their existing one, including spaces for a carwash, service garage, sales floor, vehicle delivery, and
administration. The existing building is proposed to remain until the new building is constructed, and then
would be removed. Phasing and sequencing plans would be put in place to remain operational during
construction.
The property to the north, 3700, is also owned by Barnett Properties. Both properties are within the City’s
Gateway District and are within the Neighborhood Center Sub-Zone. The applicant’s proposed building
type would not be consistent with the building types currently in the Gateway District, while the proposed
use is currently listed as a nonconforming use in the zone.
This request requires three separate applications for review and approval:
1. A lot line adjustment application. Barnett Properties owns both subject properties and is
requesting a lot line adjustment to the north, to align with the parking lot entrances. The city has
reviewed lot line adjustments through the ‘Minor Subdivision’ process.
2. A zoning ordinance amendment application. The Gateway District does not currently permit
Automotive Dealerships, the applicant is requesting to allow Automotive Dealerships as a
permitted use. The applicant is also proposing a new building type.
3. A zoning compliance permit application. This permit is required for redevelopment projects
within the Gateway District.
Lot Line Adjustment
The applicant is requesting to adjust the lot line to accommodate the entrance from Highway 61. The
subject lot (south/on the right) is currently 5.16 acres, and the abutting lot (north/on the left) is 4.17 acres.
The proposed lot line would result in the subject lot being 5.56 acres and the abutting lot being 3.96 acres.
The requested lot line adjustment is consistent with the requirements listed in Ord. No. 131.
Zoning Ordinance Amendment
The applicant is proposing a new building type template as “Figure 15a Automotive Dealership” within
Section 9.6 of Ord. No. 131. Proposed language was submitted for the new building type template to
determine if the proposed language is appropriate.
The proposed building type template can be used for new or redevelopment of other sites in the Gateway
District, such as the Ford dealership across Highway 61 or the 3700 Highway 61 property also owned by
the applicant. The proposed designs from the applicant show a decrease in impervious surface coverage, an
increase in landscaping, new lighting, and a modern building compared to the current site; the proposed
building template would require other automotive dealerships to adhere to the same standards.
Zoning Compliance Request
Contingent on the approval of the lot line adjustment and ordinance amendment, the applicant is requesting
a Zoning Compliance Permit to allow for construction of a new automotive dealership building. This
request for a Zoning Compliance Permit is consistent with the requirements in Ord. No. 131. The applicant
must submit a complete development plan prior to the receipt of any building permits.
Staff Comments
The project plans were forwarded to staff and other agencies for comments prior to the August Planning
Commission meeting.
• Ramsey County
o Applicant shall keep the intersection signal timing and ingress onto Scheuneman Road in
mind as it relates to construction activities.
• Department of Transportation (MnDOT)
o MnDOT staff have not submitted comments at the time of drafting this report.
• Vadnais Heights Watershed Management Organization (VLAWMO)
City of Gem Lake Planning Commission Meeting Minutes September 10, 2024 4 | Page
o The watershed will need to review any stormwater management plans for the
development.
o There are no wetlands are shown on site, therefore no wetland conservation act (WCA)
permit needed.
• Fire Department (City of White Bear Lake)
o Applicant shall update apparatus accessibility information.
o Request to move Fire Department Connection to the West facing side, ideally the SW
corner.
This positions it near a fire hydrant and initial access point for Fire Apparatus.
o A Fire Department Knox Box required. Location to be determined on-site.

• Building Inspector
o The Building Inspector did not have any comments regarding the request.
• Engineering
o Engineering staff reviewed the submittal and provided their comments. See attached
memo from SEH dated 8/23/24 for complete list of comments.
The project must obtain coverage under the MPCA’s CSW Permit.

Section 22.1. Erosion, Sediment, and Waste Controls.
Review and revise submittal as needed to comply with City Ordinance No. 131,
Section 22.1. Stormwater Management.
While there is no public hearing on the requests this month, Commission Chair Joshua Patrick asked the
applicants if they had anything they would like to say regarding the requests. Phillps Architects &
Contractors President David Phillips wanted to inform the commission that he heard their concerns
regarding lighting and suggested that based on the recommendation’s city staff suggested that Mr. Phillips
would suggest that the parking lot lighting would dim to 15% illuminance between the hours of 10 p.m. and
6 a.m. The Commission was very happy with that suggestion.
City Planner Evan Monson recommend the Planning Commission approve all three (3) requests with
following conditions:
1. Lot Line Adjustment.
a. The proposed lot line adjustment between 3610 Highway 61 (Parcel ID 273022430031)

Ordinance No. 124B Hunting and Discharge of Weapons
Graduate Community Planner CJ Sycks summarized the proposed changes to Ordinance No. 124B. The
Commission requested archery turkey hunting be incorporated into the Hunting and Weapons Discharge
Ordinance, No. 124B. Proposed changes were suggested for Section 4 of the ordinance to include language
regarding turkey hunting and creating an item for archery deer hunting and archery turkey hunting within
that section. The fee to be charged to archery turkey hunting was also discussed. Commission Chair Patrick
felt that a $100.00 fee was too much for only being allowed to take one (1) turkey per MN hunting
regulations. A $5.00 per hunter suggestion was made. The archery turkey hunting would follow the same
city requirements as archery deer. Commission Chair Patrick also wanted to tighten up the language
regarding the distance of the maximum shot to be taken. The current language is a little unclear and
Commission Chair Patrick suggested language that would help make it clearer.
Commissioner Cummings introduced a motion to recommend approval of the draft ordinance with the
additional suggested changes to the City Council, seconded by Commissioner Pratt. Motion carried 3-0.
Ordinance No. 48 Alarm Systems
Graduate Community Planner CJ Sycks summarized the proposed changes to Ordinance No. 48. The City
Council has tasked the Planning Commission with reviewing Ordinance No. 48 regarding Alarm Systems.
Ord. No. 48 was adopted in August of 1987, and has not been amended since. The ordinance regulates the
use of alarm systems, establishes user fees, and provides penalties for false alarms. The city of Gem Lake
works with the city of White Bear Lake’s (WBL) Fire Department to respond to triggered fire alarms and
the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department to respond to burglary/robbery alarms. Proposed updates include
changes to definitions, user fees, alarm report and enforcement and penalties. Ms. Sycks shared what some
City of Gem Lake Planning Commission Meeting Minutes September 10, 2024 6 | Page
of the surrounding cities have in their ordinances. Acting City Clerk Melissa Lawrence had one suggestion
based on the proposed changes. Mrs. Lawrence suggested that the user fee still be based on a calendar year
and not a 12-month period. Reports received by the City from White Bear Lake are based on the calendar
year and would make it easier to track the false alarms. The Commission wants to keep things simple and
agreed with the Acting City Clerks suggestion.
Commissioner Pratt introduced a motion to recommend approval of the draft ordinance with the additional
suggested changes to the City Council, seconded by Commissioner Cummings. Motion carried 3-0.
Fee Schedule Updates per Ordinance Suggested Changes
Graduate Community Planner CJ Sycks summarized the proposed changes to the fee schedule.
The City’s fee schedule currently includes False Alarm User fees within Section 12,
Miscellaneous. 3-14 false alarms are $50.00/occurrence within a calendar year and $150.00 for
15+ false alarms/occurrence within a calendar year. Rather than raising fees like other
communities, it is recommended by City Staff, that the “15+ False Alarms” be reduced to “7+
False Alarms” and false alarms are tracked by 12-month periods rather than calendar years. Again,
Mrs. Lawrence suggested changing it to a calendar year instead of a 12-month period.
Commissioner Pratt introduced a motion to recommend approval of the suggested fee schedule
changes with the additional suggested change to the City Council, seconded by Commissioner
Cummings. Motion carried 3-0.

RE: 2025 Preliminary Property Tax Levy.
State Statutes require Cities to certify their preliminary property tax levies by September 30th this
year. Once the preliminary property tax levy is approved and certified to the County Auditor, the
City can lower the levy during the remaining budget process but cannot exceed the certified
preliminary levy. For this reason, most Cities certify a preliminary levy using worst-case budget
scenarios, which is the case with the City’s 2025 preliminary property levy and budget.
The 2025 preliminary property tax levy is proposed at $733,757, which is a 2.231% increase
from the 2024 certified preliminary property tax levy. The 2025 preliminary property tax levy
consists of a debt levy of $83,736.00 (an increase from 2024 preliminary debt levy of $2,182.00)
and the general operating levy of $650,021.00 (an increase of 2.174% from the 2024 preliminary
tax levy).
The following changes were made from the 2024 adopted budget as a basis for the 2025
proposed preliminary property tax levy:
1. Based on the 2015 Refunding Bond schedule the debt levy for 2025 is set for $79,711.00.
In addition, in 2018, the City issued bonds for the improvements on Scheuneman Road
and the 2025 debt levy for this issue is $4,025.00. The two of these debt levies makes up
the City’s 2025 debt levy of $83,736.
2. Increased City Council wages 3%.
3. City Council contingency was increased to $15,000 (was $9,000).
4. Clerk/General Government budget includes $63,000.00 for wages and $11,550 for health
insurance coverage.
5. Planning & Zoning budget increased $8,950.00 based on past expenditures.
6. Police budget was increased 13.85% to $147,396 based on the City of White Bear Lake
budget provided us and includes $133,089 for police services and $14,307 for debt
payments on the new public facilities building.
7. The cost of fire services increase 8.54% to $52,827.00. It includes $35,300 for fire
services, $8,181 for fire marshal services, and $9,346 for depreciation on the new public
facilities building.
a. Overall, the City of White Bear Lake would like you to pay $23,653 for the next
20 years for their new facility.
8. Road Maintenance budget includes $20,000 for road maintenance/repair and $8,000 for
trimming boulevard trees.
9. Salt/sand reduced $4,000 to $8,000 and snow plowing contract increased from $14,500 to
$15,000, both based on past expenditures.
10. Heritage Hall budget includes $10,000 for building improvements and $10,000 for other
equipment/improvements.
11. Included a park maintenance budget of $7,000 for maintaining park area of the Villas of
Gem Lake.
12. The 2025 budget includes $20,000.00 for future improvements.

13. Other revenue and other expenditure line items adjusted based on past history.
These changes result in the City proposed preliminary tax levy of $733,757.00 for 2025. This
compares to 2024 preliminary levy of $717,742.00 and 2024 final levy of $697,081.00. Using a
2025 property tax levy of $733,757.00 and the City’s 2025 estimated tax capacity
($1,799,843.00) and median valued home ($443,750.00) for Gem lake, that median valued home,
would pay City property taxes of $1,725.55 in 2025 compared to 2024 preliminary levy of
$1,872.22 (a decrease of $146.67) and the 2024 final levy amount of $1,652.20 (an increase of
$73.35).
One final change for the 2025 budget was a legislative change, which increased the market value
exclusion from 40% of the first $76,000 to the first $95,000 minus 9% of the value between
$95,000 to $517,200 (was $76,000 to $413,800). Homes valued at or above $517,200 do not
receive an exclusion compared to $413,800 previously. This change saves the median value
home $26.10 in City taxes in 2025.
Again, as the City prepares it final 2025 budget the property tax levy can be lowered from the
preliminary levy but not increased above the preliminary levy.
The action requested tonight is for the City Council to adopt the resolution adopting the 2025
preliminary property tax levy of $733,757.00.

I’m not sure how the pay for City Council and Mayor were decided, but I was trying to look and see what others are getting paid and I wanted to see what you
thought.
Also, if someone doesn’t come to a meeting, should they still get paid for that month? Or do we treat it as “earned vacation time”? Might be time to update the
current ordinance and have a pay review? It looks like the current ordinance was passed in 2014 for 2015. It’s been 9 years since the pay was looked at.

application for Barnett Kia
MEETING DATE: September 17, 2024
LOCATION: 3610 Highway 61 (Parcel ID 273022430031) & 3700 Highway 61 (Parcel ID 273022430019)
APPLICANT: Dave Phillips - Phillips Architects
OWNER: Barnett Properties
ZONING: Gateway (G) – Neighborhood Center (NC)
REVIEW PERIOD: 120-day period ends 11/22/2024
ITEMS REVIEWED: Application and plans received on 07/23/2024
DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
Located at 3610 Highway 61, Barnett Companies is looking to remove their existing building (31,865 SF)
and build a new one (34,060 SF) on the north side of their property. The building would be an upgraded version of
their existing one, including spaces for a carwash, service garage, sales floor, vehicle delivery, and
administration. The existing building is proposed to remain until the new building is constructed, and then would
be removed. Phasing and sequencing plans would be put in place to remain operational during construction.
The property to the north, 3700, is also owned by Barnett Properties. Both properties are within the City’s
Gateway District and are within the Neighborhood Center (NC) Sub-Zone. The applicant’s proposed building type
would not be consistent with the building types currently in the Gateway District, while the proposed use is
currently listed as a nonconforming use in the zone.
This request requires three separate applications for review and approval:
1. A lot line adjustment application. Barnett Properties owns both subject properties and is requesting a
lot line adjustment to the north, to align with the parking lot entrances. The city reviews lot line
adjustments through the ‘Minor Subdivision’ process.
2. A zoning ordinance amendment application. The Gateway District does not currently permit
Automotive Dealerships; the applicant is requesting to allow Automotive Dealerships as a permitted use
in a new building type template.
3. A zoning compliance permit application. This permit is required for any redevelopment projects within
the Gateway District.

PROPERTY INFORMATION
Description: The two subject properties are located at the intersection of Highway 61 and County Road E/CSAH
15. Their front lot lines are on Scheuneman Road . 3610 Hwy 61 is currently a Kia Automotive dealership, built in
1968. 3700 Highway 61 is also owned by Barnett Properties; it is currently being used by Newtrax, a
transportation service provider. The building on the 3700 property was built in 1972. Both properties are fairly flat,
with limited green space or pervious surfaces.
Land Use: Commercial

EVALUATION OF REQUESTS
Lot Line Adjustment
Ordinance Requirements
The City’s Consolidated Land Use Ordinance (Ord. No. 131) defines a Subdivision as “… the division of an area,
parcel, or tract of land into two (2) or more lots or parcels, for the purpose of transfer of ownership or building
development that will require the creation of streets and roads, except for those resulting from court orders, or the
adjustment of lot lines by the relocation of a common boundary . The term includes re-subdivision and when
appropriate to the context, shall relate to the process of sub-dividing or to the land subdivided.”
The city has historically reviewed lot line adjustments as ‘Minor Subdivisions’. Section 25.6 of Ord. No. 131 covers
this process.
The Request
The applicant is requesting to adjust the lot line to accommodate the entrance from Highway 61. The subject lot
(south/on the right in Figure 2) is currently 5.16 acres, and the abutting lot (3700 Highway 61, located to the
north/on the left in Figure 2) is 4.17 acres. The proposed lot line would result in the subject lot being 5.56 acres
and the abutting lot being 3.96 acres.
City Engineering staff have requested new drainage and utility easements be established (minimum 10 feet in
width) to align with the storm system and newly adjusted lot line. An access easement for the 3700 property to
enter in an out of the existing access drive will also need to be established.

left-hand size.
Zoning Ordinance Amendment
Current Ordinance
In 2007, the city conducted a visioning study and master planning of the area now known as the Gateway District
– the ‘Gateway and Village Centers Vision Corridor Master Plan’. The results of this planning effort were included
in the City’s 2030 and 2040 Comprehensive Plans. The requirements of the Gateway District were first adopted in
2014 as Ord. No. 107B and are now located within Ord. No. 131. The Gateway District requirements are intended
to allow for development and redevelopment of the properties within this zone. The Gateway District emphasizes
creative mixed-use and commercial development and provides a transition into residential neighborhoods by
Barnett Kia – 3610 Hwy 61

becoming less dense. This ‘tiering’ of development is done through four sub-zones. The subject property is in the
Neighborhood Center Sub-Zone. Neighborhood Center makes up the majority of the Gateway District.
Figure 3: City Zoning Map
Figure 4: City Gateway District Sub-Zone Map
Ord. No. 131, Section 9 establishes ten (10) different building type templates, which dictate the built form of new
development within the district (Figures 6-15 in the ordinance). Figures 16 and 17 in the ordinance outline the
uses that are permitted, conditional uses, or not permitted in conjunction with each building type template. Each
building type template includes a definition, lot size and placement regulations, building footprint limits, building
locations, height and use restrictions, and any modifications/exemptions from the ordinance. Currently,
Barnett Kia – 3610 Hwy 61
Gem Lake City Council

automotive dealerships are not a permitted use with any building type template in the Gateway district and would
not fit with any of the currently established building type templates. Ord. No. 131, Section 9.6.5 was amended in
2018 to allow as a conditional use automotive dealerships and convenience stores “when a use in an abutting
community is proposed to expand into Gem Lake, that use shall be considered a conditional use. Abutting
property shall not be separated by a railroad or public right-of-way.” This amendment allowed for the parking lot of
the Luther Cadillac dealership located within Vadnais Heights to extend into the southern end of the city. This
‘exception’ in Ord. No. 131 would not apply to the Kia site.
The closest building type template that could accommodate an automotive dealership is Figure 15 in Ord. No.
131, Section 8 (see Figure 5 below). Section 9.6.4 states “New building types may be proposed in the manner of
other amendments to the Zoning Code using the procedure in Section 17.6 of this Ordinance. A proposal must
contain all information included in existing analogous Building Types, including but not limited to the dimensional
standards, use designations, and frontage requirements.”

The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed language for this new building type template and concurred
with the recommended edits by staff. The edits are to ensure that this new building type template is consistent
with the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan and vision for the Gateway area.
Amendment Process
Ord. No. 131, Section 17.6 covers the process to consider amendments to the ordinance. Section 17.6.4.1 notes
that only amendments that meet one of the following should be considered:
1. A mistake has been made in the original zoning which was inconsistent with the Comprehensive
Municipal Plan adopted by the city which should now be corrected; or
2. Substantial changes have occurred within the city since the adoption of the Comprehensive
Municipal Plan which changes should result in an amendment of both the zoning and the Comprehensive
Municipal Plan; or
3. There shall exist a clear public need for a benefit to be derived from the proposed zoning which
shall be greater than any benefit or convenience of the property owners.
4. Beyond a public need being evident, the application shall show that the public interest would be
best served by rezoning the property in question and that the property in question is the best qualified to
serve said public need; or
5. In the case of “down zoning” which would diminish the intensity of the current use to a less
intensive use, the proposed zoning shall allow the property owners a reasonable use of their property
under the terms of this ordinance as well as serve the public interest.’
The Planning Commission felt that criteria #2 and #3 apply to the applicant’s request. The proposed building type
template can be used for new or redevelopment of other sites in the Gateway District, such as the Apple Ford
dealership across Highway 61 or the 3700 Highway 61 property also owned by the applicant. The proposed
designs from the applicant show a decrease in impervious surface coverage, an increase in landscaping, new
lighting, and a modern building compared to the current site ; the proposed building template would require other
automotive dealerships to adhere to the same standards .

Ord. No. 131, Section 17.6.4.2 includes criteria to review for amendments to the ordinance, with the Planning
Commission’s findings in italics.
1. Adjacent Uses.
a. The proposed use on the applicant’s property would not change, so there is no expected
change of impacts to adjacent uses. The proposed landscaping and site design would
provide more of a buffer between the applicant’s properties and their neighbors than the
current site.
2. Air and Water Quality.
a. There are no changes expected to air quality. Water quality would be improved, as the site
will have more impervious surfaces in addition to an underground stormwater retention
facility.
3. Traffic Generations.
a. Traffic generation is expected to remain the same; the site will continue to have access off
both Highway 61 and Scheuneman Road.
4. Public Safety and Health.
a. There are no changes expected to public safety and health.
5. Area Aesthetics.
a. The area aesthetics would be improved under the proposed improvements by the applicant,
with more green space and landscaping than the current site.
6. Economic Impact on the Entire Area.
a. The proposed amendment would be expected to not change or even have a positive
economic impact on the surrounding area. The proposed site improvements could lead to
more jobs, and an increase in tax base for the city.
7. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan.
a. The Gateway District is set-up to incentivize new and redevelopment of the land around the
Highway 61 and County Road E intersection. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the
Barnett properties (and other parcels east of Highway 61 and north of County Road E) as
‘Gateway Zone – Neighborhood Center’ within the Future Land Use Map, which is consistent
with the Gateway zones outlined in the Consolidated Land Use Ordinance. The original
visioning study for the Gateway focused on redevelopment land south of County Road E, and
land west of Highway 61. The Neighborhood Center is guided for multi-story ‘mixed use’
developments, with commercial/retail on ground floors and residential on floors above. By
tailoring this template type to a select few locations, the Commission finds that this
amendment is consistent with the expected and planned for development in the Gateway
area.
Zoning Compliance Request
Ordinance Requirements
Section 9.2.2.2 states “All new construction, remodeling, or expansion (except for the remodeling or expansion of
single-family detached dwellings) within the Gateway District requires a Zoning Compliance Permit. The Zoning
Compliance Permit is indefinite in duration and the entitlements stated on the permit shall run with the land. A
Zoning Compliance Permit is granted after determination that the proposal complies with all applicable standards
set forth within this Section (Thoroughfare Standards, Civic Space Standards, Building Type Standards, Parking,
and Design Standards).”
Section 9.2.2.6 states “All applicants seeking a Zoning Compliance Permit must submit a development plan with
their application.” Requirements of a development plan are found in Section 9. 7.2.
Section 9.8 outlines the plans for re-development of a single lot. This process requires administrative approval,
pending approval of the lot line adjustment and the ordinance amendments .
The commissioners discussed during the August and September meetings dimming the lighting on the site during
non-working hours; a condition of approval is included in the recommendations located further in this report.

Barnett Kia Narrative

Brief Project Description
Barnett Properties proposes to construct a new partial two story 38-40,000 SF
automotive dealership facility for its Kia dealership at 3610 Highway 61. The existing facility
will remain operational during construction of the new dealership. Once the new building is
complete the business will move into the new building. The old dealership building will then be
demolished, and the balance of site work will be completed.
Barnett Kia has been offered significant financial incentives from Kia to begin construction in
2024 and complete it before the end of 2025.
Currently Barnett Kia is a legal non-conforming use. Barnett prefers to have the Gem Lake
zoning code amended to construct the new building as a legal conforming use as opposed to
proceeding under non-conforming status. The project offers significant benefits for the city.
The more than 55-year-old existing building will be replaced by a new state-of-the-art facility
with a corresponding increase in the tax base. The site will be reconfigured for modern storm
water management including reducing the impervious surface from about 98% to 80%.
Landscaping will be added along with modern well controlled LED site lighting.
Zoning Requests
Barnett is requesting approvals for this project including:
1. Proposed zoning amendment permitting Automotive Dealership in the Gateway NC
District
2. A zoning compliance review based on the amended zoning.
3. Approval of a common lot line adjustment between 3610 and 3700 Highway 61
Scheduling
Barnett plans to solicit construction bids in September of 2024 for a construction start as
soon as October. Occupancy of the new dealership building would be expected by November 15,
2025. The demolition of the old dealership and completion of the site work would then be in the
fall of 2025.
Barnett Kia Narrative
July 22, 2024 Page 3 of 3
Civil Engineering and Landscaping

lighting will be dimmed at 10:30PM to security lighting levels except along Highway 61. The
lighting along Highway 61 will be dimmed at 1AM.
Building Materials
The dealership building will have scored precast wall panels will integrally Coventry Gray cast in
color for the service shops, detail area and carwash. The service line on the north side will have a
black ACM and glass exterior with glass overhead doors. The showroom portion of the building
will be glass curtain wall with a black ACM facia. This will wrap partially around the east and west
sides. Please refer to the artist renderings submitted with this application and exterior

SPACING OF 10 FEET ON CURB AND GUTTER AND ON SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION AS SHOWN ON THE PLAN. CONTRACTION JOINTS WILL BE CUT TO A DEPTH 1/3 THE THICKNESS OF THE CONCRETE,
SURFACE AND BACK OF ALL CURBS. CONTRACTION JOINTS SHALL BE PLACED SO THAT NO SLAB IS LARGER THAN 100 SQUARE FEET IN AREA. THE CONTRACTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
CONSTRUCTING CONTRACTION JOINTS THAT PREVENT CONCRETE FROM CRACKING AT OTHER LOCATIONS.
14.CONCRETE TESTING INCLUDING SLUMP, AIR ENTRAINMENT, TEMPERATURE AND COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH SHALL BE PERFORMED ON THE FIRST LOAD OF THE DAY FOR ALL CONCRETE POURS OF AT
LEAST 4 CUBIC YARDS. AN ADDITIONAL TEST SHALL BE PERFORMED FOR EACH 100 CUBIC YARDS OR PORTION THEREOF.
15.AGGREGATE BASE FINAL SHAPING AND COMPACTION OF THE AGGREGATE BASE SHALL BE DONE JUST PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION OF THE CONCRETE OR BITUMINOUS SURFACE. THE FINISHED
SURFACE OF THE BASE SHALL SHOW NO VARIATION GREATER THAN 1/2 INCH FROM A TEN (10) FOOT STRAIGHT EDGE.
16.PLANT MIXED BITUMINOUS MIXTURE SHALL BE SPREAD WITHOUT SEGREGATION, AT THE SPECIFIED RATE TO THE CROSS SECTION SHOWN IN THE PLANS AND PER MNDOT 3151.
17.ADJUST ALL SURFACE COURSES TO NOT GREATER THAN 3/16 INCH ABOVE ADJACENT CURB AND VALLEY GUTTERS WHERE WATER FLOWS TO CURB OR VALLEY, AND FLUSH WHERE WATER FLOWSAWAY FROM CURB, OR 1/2 INCH ABOVE MANHOLE FRAMES, VALVE BOXES OR OTHER FIXED STRUCTURES.
18.THE THICKNESS OF EACH BITUMINOUS COURSE SHALL BE WITHIN 1/4 INCH OF THE THICKNESS AS SHOWN ON THE PLANS. THE TOTAL THICKNESS OF ALL BITUMINOUS COURSES SHALL BE WITHIN 1/2
INCH.
19.PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTING THE BITUMINOUS BINDER AND/OR WEARING COURSES, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL SWEEP ROADWAY. THE SWEEPER SHALL BE A SELF-PROPELLED PICK-UP (WITH WATER)
SWEEPER. A SIDE-THROW SWEEPER WILL NOT BE ALLOWED.
20.TACK COAT SHALL CONFORM TO MNDOT 2357.2.A.

RE: Barnett Kia of Gem Lake – Development Submittal 7/23/24
Review Comments
SEH No. GEMLK 171858 14.00
Below are our initial review comments for the Barnett Kia development information that was submitted on 7/23/24.
If you have any further questions, please arrange a follow-up meeting with the City, the Developer, and their
engineer to address any questions you have pertaining to the comments.
General Notes:
· The project must obtain coverage under the MPCA’s CSW Permit.
· The City’s Ordinance has been updated. Review and revise submittal as needed to comply with City
Ordinance No. 141, Section 22.1. Erosion, Sediment, and Waste Controls.
· The City’s Ordinance has been updated. Review and revise submittal as needed to comply with City
Ordinance No. 141, Section 22.1. Stormwater Management.
Submittal Comments:
1. Add excavation limits around the infiltration chamber.
2. Add storm outlet pipe size in the NW property corner.
3. Call out tip out curb transition where there’s a low point in the curb but no Catch Basin.
4. Call out the tie in elevations at Scheuneman along with the valley gutter grade. Where will the grade transition
be? The road drains north and the entrance drains south.
5. Add commercial concrete aprons at the entrances.
6. Update or remove rim elevation from EX SSWR MH1, add connect to existing call out.
7. Include a detail for the UG INFIL connection method.
8. Provide easement documentation for realigned property line, include enough easement for City to maintain
the storm system (10’ offset?) on each side of property line and sewer line.
9. CBMH G1 should be private but extends across property line. Should not be public as it conveys into the
private system.
10. Replace segment of 21” pipe in NE corner of lot between new infrastructure segments.
11. Include the material type for the Stormwater chamber CMP.
12. Provide a table showing the total site area and impervious areas broken out for the 3610 Barnett Kia site and
adjacent 3700 Hwy 61 site.
13. Provide a table with permanent storage volumes broken out for pre-treatment chambers and infiltration
chambers. Ensure consistent dimensions and information of the proposed system throughout the SWMP,
plans, and models.
August 23, 2024
Page 2
14. Include provisions within the construction documents to ensure that the native soils infiltrate as planned for in
design prior to installing the chamber system. Recommendations for permeameter tests for designed are
available in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual Design Criteria for Infiltration.
15. As required by City Ordinance No. 141, Section 22.2.3.11, include a diversion or other method within the
construction documents to keep construction site sediment from entering an infiltration and/or filtration system
prior to final stabilization of the entire contributing drainage area.
16. As required by City Ordinance No. 141, Section 22.2.3.11, include provisions within the construction
documents that will prohibit construction equipment from compacting the soils where infiltration and/or
filtration practices are proposed.
17. Consistent with item 16.8 of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Construction Stormwater Permit,
Permittees must design the infiltration system to discharge all stormwater (including stormwater in excess of
the water quality volume) routed to the system through the uppermost soil surface or engineered media
surface within 48 hours. Permittees must route additional flows that cannot infiltrate within 48 hours to bypass
the system through a stabilized discharge point. Revise system as needed.
18. Consistent with item 16.9 of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Construction Stormwater Permit,
Permittees must provide a means to visually verify the infiltration system is discharging through the soil
surface or filter media surface within 48 hours or less. Comment on the means of verifying drawdown.
19. Provide maintenance access to all components of the proposed treatment system. Identify in the maintenance
plan how access will be achieved, and any special considerations needed to access the subsurface system.
20. Prepare a maintenance agreement and maintenance plan as described in City Ordinance No. 141, Section
22.2.5.
21. Revise HydroCAD models such that the total area is consistent between existing and proposed models.
22. Provide a cross section of the infiltration system, as designed, including pre-treatment chambers, weir walls,
standpipes, etc.
23. Ensure pretreatment chambers have a starting water elevation in models.
24. Provide justification that exfiltration applied over surface area is appropriate for perforated pipes.

SUBJECT: A 16.8-foot Variance request to construct an accessory structure (shed) within the side
yard setback
MEETING DATE: September 17, 2024
LOCATION: 1201 County Road E East (Parcel ID 283022440006)
APPLICANTS: Marnie McPherson, Head of School – White Bear Montessori School
OWNER: White Bear Montessori School
ZONING: Executive Residential (RX), Institutional Overlay Zone
REVIEW PERIOD: 60-day period ends 10/18/2024
ITEMS REVIEWED: Application and plans received on 8/19/2024
DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The White Bear Montessori School (WBMS) operates at 1201 County Road E East, at the southwest corner of the
city. The school is in the midst of an expansion project that started earlier this year. Building permits for the
project were issued by the City in April of 2024. The project includes an addition onto the existing school and
exterior improvements to the site. As part of the project, a 14-foot by 16-foot storage shed was constructed on the
south side of the property. The shed was placed at a setback of 33.2 feet from the south lot line, which is within
the required side yard setback of 50 feet. Prior to the new construction on the property, a storage shed of similar
size was located on the property, just east of the parking lot, at a setback of 62 feet from the south lot line.
The Building Department inspected the site and noted that the shed was within the setback from the side lot line.
Building Department staff notified the applicant’s contractor and noted that the two options were to move the shed
to a compliant setback or request a variance from the city to keep the shed in the existing location.
The contractor for the project stated that the shed was built in the following location for two reasons , per the
narrative from their submittal dated 8/15/24:
1. The site needs as much additional parking as possible. Construction of the shed in the as -built location
[within the setback] allowed 2 additional ADA parking stalls along the existing row of parking. The
previous shed location required the pavement space in front of the shed to be designated ‘no parking’ to
maintain access by garbage truck and maintenance staff. Given this issue. the decision was made to
move the shed location to an area not otherwise needed by additional parking.
2. While the pavement to the east of the existing parking lot could have been expanded to increase the
number of site parking stalls and provide space for the shed in compliance with the setback, the
watershed’s 10,000 SF of new/reconstructed impervious surface threshold for stormwater management
Variance – 1201 County Rd E
Gem Lake City Council 9/17/24
September 11, 2024
Page 2
would be triggered. The current site plan incorporates 9884 SF of new and reconstructed impervious, only
116 SF less than the threshold. Triggering the management threshold would have required enlarging the
existing rain garden in the southwest corner of the site which has the lowest topography for rainwater
retention. However, the existing rain garden is at its largest possible size and depth. Therefore, existing
pavement and parking stalls would need to be removed and relocated elsewhere, thus requiring more
reconstructed impervious, and, therefore, yet more retention volume. Furthermore, enlargement of the
rain garden would require additional tree removals which aid in screening the parking lot from the street.
Variances are reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved or denied by the City Council. The Planning
Commission reviewed the request at a public hearing at their September 10 th meeting, and recommended
approval of the request; their recommendation and findings are found later in this report.
PROPERTY INFORMATION
Description: The subject property is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of County Road E/CSAH 15
and CSAH 108/Labore Road. The west lot line is the ‘front’ lot line for zoning purposes. The site is fairly flat, with
trees and vegetation along the perimeter of the lot. The development surrounding the subject property consist s of
large lot, single-family residences to the north and east. Land south and west of the property is within the city of
Vadnais Heights; this land is primarily commercial in use.
Land Use: Institutional – ‘private childcare and education facilities.’

EVALUATION OF REQUEST
Institutional Overlay Zone
The City’s Consolidated Land Use Ordinance (Ord. No. 131) covers the requirements for the Institutional Overlay
Zone in Section 15. The WBMS property is the only property in the city within this overlay zone. Section 15.5.4
lists the setback requirements for accessory structures within the overlay zone – the front setback requirement is
100 feet, while the side and rear setback requirement is 50 feet. Principal structures (such as the school) are
required to have a setback of 50 feet from all lot lines. Apart from the setback of the shed, the shed and the site
itself meets the other zoning requirements of the city.
Applicant’s Narrative
The narrative submitted by the applicant’s contractor includes a rationale for the request (refer to pages one and
two of this report), and identifies the following ‘impact criteria' in consideration of their variance request:
1. Adjacent uses – Within Gem Lake city boundaries to the east along County Rd E East and to the north
along Labore Rd, the property borders two single family home properties. Both properties are screened
from the school property by dense brush and tree foliage. In addition, both adjacent properties (along with
other nearby properties along the roadways) also maintain accessory structures along their right -of-way
frontages at approximately 30-foot setbacks.
2. Air and water quality – The project team does not consider the shed to have impacts on air and water
quality. Locating the shed outside of the setback would require additional pavement and would harm
water quality.
3. Traffic generation – The shed at its as-built location allows space for 2 additional parking stalls [compared
to a setback-compliant location]. These two stalls decrease the number of visitors needing to park at the
office center across Labore Rd from the school property.
4. Public safety and health – The garbage dumpsters and property maintenance equipment were previously
housed in a dilapidated shed just to the north and east of the as -built shed. The previously existing
building was in danger of collapse. The new building provides a much safer enclosure than previously
provided.
5. Area aesthetics – The as-built shed is clad in materials similar in aesthetics to the school building and
new addition. Existing, mature pine trees provide partial screening of the shed from the roadway.
6. Economic impact on the entire area – The project team does not consider there to be an economic impact
on the area.
7. Consistency with the comprehensive plan – The project team considers the as-built shed in consistency
with the surrounding neighborhood and other accessory structure setbacks at adjacent properties.
Based on aerial images of the surrounding area, there are two properties to the north along Labore Road and two
to the east along County Road E that have detached accessory structures less than 50 feet from the property
lines along each road. These lots are zoned ‘RX’ (Residential Executive), which requires a 40-foot setback from
the front lot line. These neighboring lots had their accessory structures built prior to the city adopting Ord. No.
131.
Variance Criteria
Practical Difficulties, as outlined per Ord. No. 131, Section 17.4.1 are listed below in bold, with the Planning
Commission’s findings following.
• The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the
zoning ordinance.
Accessory structures, such as the as-built shed, are permitted under the ordinance in the Institutional
Overlay zone. This criterion appears to be met.
Variance – 1201 County Rd E
Gem Lake City Council 9/17/24
September 11, 2024
Page 4
• The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the
landowner.
Given that the building permit (which included the now as -built shed location) was already reviewed
and issued for the project, and the shed has already been built, the applicant is in a unique situation
of where they thought the structure was able to be built in its as-built location. This situation is unique
only to this project, and was not caused by the landowner. This criterion appears to be met.
• The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality .
Other detached accessory structures are located on nearby properties at setbacks from roads similar
to the as-built shed. The as-built shed is also partially screened from the road (County Road E East)
by existing trees and vegetation and is nearly fully screened from neighboring properties to the east.
This criterion appears to be met.
• Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties.
Economic considerations, such as cost, are not mentioned in the applicant’s submittal as the reason
or rationale for the request. This criterion appears to be met.
• Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for
solar energy systems.
N/A
Section 17.4.2.2 includes seven criteria for the City Council to review for variance requests listed below in bold,
with the Planning Commission’s findings following.
1. Adjacent Uses.
The shed in its as-built location does not appear to have negative impacts on neighboring uses and
properties. The as-built location would not stand out in comparison to other neighboring properties. This
criterion appears to be met.
2. Air and Water Quality.
The proposed as-built location does not appear to impact air or water quality of the property or nearby
development. This criterion appears to be met.
3. Traffic Generations.
Traffic in and out of the site is generated by the principal use of the property, the Montessori School. The
shed itself does not generate traffic, as it would be used to store equipment and items used by the school.
This criterion appears to be met.
4. Public Safety and Health.
The proposed shed in its as-built location does not appear to have any impact on the safety or health of
the public. This criterion appears to be met.
5. Area Aesthetics.
Other detached accessory structures are located on nearby properties at setbacks from roads similar to
the as-built shed. The as-built shed is also partially screened from County Road E East and Labore Road
by existing trees and vegetation. This criterion appears to be met.
6. Economic Impact on the Entire Area.
The shed being within the side yard setback is not expected to have an economic impact on the
neighborhood or the city. This criterion appears to be met.

7. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan is silent on accessory structures. The zoning ordinance (Ord. No. 131) is meant
to carry out the implementation of the Plan. Apart from the setback requirement, the property meets other
zoning requirements.
To summarize the requirements of 17.4.1 and 17.4.2.2 above, the Planning Commission found that the criteria
were met for granting the variance request.
Staff Comments
The project plans were forwarded to staff and other agencies for comments prior to the Planning Commission
meeting.
▪ Ramsey County
o No comment, so long as there are no long-term detrimental impacts to the CR or its ROW, such
as water erosion from roof drains/addressing dead or dying trees stemming from construction
impacts on tree health, or other changes in the natural landscape.
▪ Vadnais Heights Watershed Management Organization (VLAWMO)
o The watershed staff had no comments/issues on this request.
▪ Building Inspector
o The Building Inspector confirmed that the site of the proposed shed was included in their plans
that were approved for building permits in April of 2024. The as-built shed does not meet setback
requirements, but it was noted that other requirements are met.
▪ Engineering
o Engineering staff had not submitted comments at the time of drafting this report.
ACTION
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve of the request, with or without conditions.
2. Denial of the request, with findings for denial.
3. Table the request for further review/study.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request, based on the findings in the resolution
prepared for this meeting. In addition, the following conditions are recommended:
1. The as-built shed shall adhere to the 33.2-foot setback from the south property line, as shown in the plans
reviewed with this request and the plans approved as part of the original building permit issued in April
2024.
2. The as-built shed shall adhere to other applicable local, State, and Federal requirements.
3. The applicant shall pay all fees and escrows associated with this request.

Resolution No. 2024-0021
APPROVING A VARIANCE FOR 1201 COUNTY ROAD E EAST, PARCEL ID 283022440006
WHEREAS, White Bear Montessori School, the owner of the property, made an application to
request a variance ‘after-the-fact’ to allow for a detached accessory structure (shed) to be placed within
the required 50-foot side yard setback on the property listed above; and
WHEREAS, the property is legally described as follows:
LOT 6, BLOCK 2, RED FOX HILLS, RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA
TORRENS PROPERTY
TORRENS CERTIFICATE NO. 500305; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the request at a duly noticed public hearing on
September 10, 2024, and determined that the proposed request meets the criteria for a minor subdivision,
and voted to recommend approval of the request with conditions; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF GEM
LAKE, RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve a Variance to
allow for a detached accessory structure (shed) to be placed within the required 50-foot side yard setback
on 1201 County Road E East, Parcel ID 283022440006, based on the following findings:
1. Accessory structures, such as the as-built shed, are permitted under the ordinance in the
Institutional Overlay zone. This criterion appears to be met.
2. Given that the building permit (which included the now as-built shed location) was already
reviewed and issued for the project, and the shed has already been built, the applicant is in a
unique situation of where they thought the structure was able to be built in its as-built location.
This situation is unique only to this project and was not caused by the landowner. This criterion
appears to be met.
3. Other detached accessory structures are located on nearby properties at setbacks from roads
similar to the as-built shed. The as-built shed is also partially screened from the road (County
Road E East) by existing trees and vegetation and is nearly fully screened from neighboring
properties to the east. This criterion appears to be met.
4. Economic considerations, such as cost, are not mentioned in the applicant’s submittal as the
reason or rationale for the request. This criterion appears to be met.
5. The shed in its as-built location does not appear to have negative impacts on neighboring uses and
properties. The as-built location would not stand out in comparison to other neighboring
properties. This criterion appears to be met.
6. The proposed as-built location does not appear to impact air or water quality of the property or
nearby development. This criterion appears to be met.

Resolution No. 2024-0021
7. Traffic in and out of the site is generated by the principal use of the property, the Montessori
School. The shed itself does not generate traffic, as it would be used to store equipment and items
used by the school. This criterion appears to be met.
8. The proposed shed in its as-built location does not appear to have any impact on the safety or
health of the public. This criterion appears to be met.
9. Other detached accessory structures are located on nearby properties at setbacks from roads
similar to the as-built shed. The as-built shed is also partially screened from County Road E East
and Labore Road by existing trees and vegetation. This criterion appears to be met.
10. The shed being within the side yard setback is not expected to have an economic impact on the
neighborhood or the city. This criterion appears to be met.
11. The Comprehensive Plan is silent on accessory structures. The zoning ordinance (Ord. No. 131)
is meant to carry out the implementation of the Plan. Apart from the setback requirement, the
property meets other zoning requirements.
FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED that the following condition of approval shall be met:
1. The as-built shed shall adhere to the 33.2-foot setback from the south property line, as shown in
the plans reviewed with this request and the plans approved as part of the original building permit
issued in April 2024.
2. The as-built shed shall adhere to other applicable local, State, and Federal requirements.
3. The applicant shall pay all fees and escrows associated with this request.
Adopted by the City Council of Gem Lake, Ramsey County, Minnesota, on this 17th day of September

ITEMS REVIEWED: Gem Lake Ordinance 124B, MN DNR Turkey Hunting Regulations
OVERVIEW
Ord. No. 124B was adopted in November 2016 and updated in August 2021. The ordinance prohibits the
discharge or use of dangerous weapons within the City of Gem Lake. There are currently 4 exceptions:
1. Archery Deer Hunting
2. Target Archery
3. Defense of Self and Property Against Vicious Animals
4. Law Enforcement
The Planning Commission directed staff to consider amendments to the ordinance to add archery turkey hunting.
On Tuesday, September 10, the Planning Commission reviewed proposed amendments. A draft of the amended
ordinance is available for the Council to review.
OVERVIEW OF ORDINANCE UPDATES
Proposed Ordinance Structure
The exceptions to discharging dangerous weapons are listed in Section 4. They are written in the order listed
above. With the addition of two additional hunting sections the order will be as follows:
1. Target Archery
2. Defense of Self and Property Against Animals
3. Law Enforcement

d. Proposing to include a prohibition of target archery on October 31st.
Section 4.2 is proposed to regulate “Defense of Self and Property Against Animals .” The proposed changes are
listed below.
• Proposing to remove the descriptor “vicious”. Stating “…against an animal while acting in self -defense or
defense of another, or to defend property…from harm or damage” is sufficient.
Section 4.4 is proposed to regulate “Archery Hunting.” This subsection will include the regulations that apply to
both deer and turkey hunting permits. Below is an overview of the section:

m. all state and federal rules must be followed.
n. no hunting is permitted on October 31st.
Section 4.5 is proposed to regulate “Archery Deer Hunting.” This subsection will include the regulations that apply
to deer hunting only. Below is an overview of the section:
a. Hunting must only be done from elevated deer stands.
b. Hurding deer into a hunting area is prohibited.
c. Hunters must have proper State license to take deer.
d. The maximum duration for a permit is 3 weeks. Those weeks must be on the permit. No hunt should last
more than 3 consecutive days.
Section 4.6 is proposed to regulate “Archery Turkey Hunting.” This subsection will include the regulations that
apply to turkey hunting only. Below is an overview of the section:
a. Hunters must have proper state license to take turkey.
b. The maximum duration for a permit is 6 weeks. Those weeks must be on the permit. No hunt should last
more than 3 consecutive days.
CITY FEE SCHEDULE
In the City Fee Schedule, Ord. No. 135, Section 11: An ‘Archery Deer Hunting Permit’ requires a $100.00 fee with
a $500.00 escrow. Proposed changes include adding ‘Archery Turkey Hunting Permit’ with a 5$ per each hunter
on the permit, and a $500.00 escrow.
The rationale for the lesser fee for turkey hunting is due to the state permit cost and the bag limit. Hunters are
permitted one turkey per season and pay a $30 fee for a permit from the state.

RE: Setting the Date and Time of the 2024 Budget Meeting.
State Statutes require Cities with a population of 500 or more to hold a public meeting where the
budget and property tax levy will be discussed, and public input is allowed. This meeting must
occur after November 24th and before December 28th and must start after 6 pm. The budget and
levy cannot be approved by City Council until this meeting is held, but can be the same meeting.
On or before September 30th, the date, time, location and who to contact with questions must be
provided to the County Auditor, who will send out parcel specific notices with the hearing
information on them. These notices would be mailed between November 11th and November
24th.
Since the only scheduled City Council meeting between November 25th and December 28th is
scheduled for December 17th at 7:00 pm it would be my recommendation to hold the hearing on
December 17th at 7:00 at Heritage Hall.

Dear Ms. Lawrence,
The City of Gem Lake (Gem Lake) has contracted with the City of White Bear Lake (White Bear
Lake) for fire services for many years. Per the 2023-2028 Fire Services Agreement, White Bear
Lake is required to provide Gem Lake with the costs budgeted for the following year and the
most recent figures for tax capacity valuation and population by September 1 of each year.
Enclosed you will find said information in addition to costs for fire inspection services
specifically for Gem Lake in 2025.
The Fire Department’s average response rate currently is 6 minutes. You may recall that just a
few years ago the average response rate was 12 minutes. The Fire Department has made
strides to improve its quality of service by recruiting and retaining highly skilled personnel,
securing the necessary equipment to operate a department that provides fire, rescue, and
Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulance service, and improving facilities to meet the demands
and expectations of the communities it serves. The proposed 2025 Fire Department budget
continues these efforts with the addition of one full-time firefighter/paramedic position,
necessary market salary adjustments, and a replacement squad.
On behalf of the Fire Department, I want to thank you for allowing White Bear Lake to continue
serving Gem Lake. White Bear Lake values our partnership, and the Fire Department takes great
pride in providing exceptional service your community.
As always, if you have questions regarding this financial information, please feel free to contact
