2020-06-23 Planning Commission MinutesJune 23, 2020 Mendota Heights Planning Commission Meeting Page 1 of 12 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 23, 2020 The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Planning Commission was held on Tuesday, June 23, 2020 in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 1101 Victoria Curve at 7:00 P.M. The following Commissioners were present: Chair Mary Magnuson, Commissioners John Mazzitello, Patrick Corbett, Michael Toth, Brian Petschel, and Andrew Katz. Those absent: Commissioner Litton Field. Approval of Agenda The agenda was approved as submitted. Approval of May 26, 2020 Minutes COMMISSIONER CORBETT MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MAZZITELLO, TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF MAY 26, 2020 A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS PERFORMED: COMMISSIONER CORBETTT AYE COMMISSIONER TOTH AYE COMMISSIONER MAZZITELLO AYE COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL AYE COMMISSIONER KATZ AYE CHAIR MAGNUSON AYE Hearings A) PLANNING CASE 2020-10 FRED AND BEVERLY PETERSON, 1770 DODD ROAD – PRELIMINARY PLAT Community Development Director Tim Benetti explained that Fred and Beverly Peterson are seeking preliminary plat approval to replat their property into three separate lots. The subject property is generally located on the east side of Dodd Road, mid-block between Marie Avenue to the south and Hidden Creek Trail to the north. Property is addressed as 1770 Dodd Road and the plat’s title is proposed as “Moehn Addition”. Hearing notices were published and mailed to all properties within 350-ft. of the site; comments were received that will be read as part of the public hearing. June 23, 2020 Mendota Heights Planning Commission Meeting Page 2 of 12 Community Development Director Tim Benetti provided a planning staff report and a presentation on this planning item to the Commission (which is available for viewing through the City’s website). Staff reviewed the available actions the Commission could take. Commissioner Mazzitello asked if these two applications run together or whether these are two separate actions. Community Development Director Tim Benetti explained that without the variance the two lots would not be able to be platted in this manner. Commissioner Katz asked if this would create two new flag lots. Community Development Director Tim Benetti stated that technically these would not be flag lots because they do not provide a dedicated or attached access strip to Dodd Road. He explained that frontage of each of these lots would only be on the private drive. Commissioner Katz asked if there has been discussion to turn the driveway into a new street. Community Development Director Tim Benetti stated that was not discussed. He stated that it was recommended by previous staff in 1991, when considering the Pine Creek Estates development to the north, to have a public road dedicated between both properties, but that would have required a much wider road system with a large cul-de-sac at the end, which would have impacted both sides of the properties. He stated that because the Petersons did not want to develop in 1991, the Pine Creek developer offered to provide a joint driveway agreement that would serve all properties along the private drive and allow Peterson’s to develop in the future. He stated that widening the private drive would assist in fire safety access. Commissioner Petschel asked if there is any way a private drive could be differentiated from a private driveway. Community Development Director Tim Benetti stated that this would be looked at as a private driveway as it does not meet the requirement of a private roadway. He stated the opportunity to install a wider private roadway or public roadway was squandered when they allowed Pine Creek to develop in the 1990’s. Commissioner Mazzitello asked the narrowest roadway in the city. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek commented that there is an alley that serves the homes on Valley Curve Road, which would probably be the narrowest. He provided some other examples of narrow roads but was unsure of the widths. Commissioner Mazzitello commented that Mendota Heights has a few private roads, mostly within townhome communities that are owned and maintained by the association. He stated that the last private road was constructed in 2003 within public right-of-way. He agreed that half of the right- June 23, 2020 Mendota Heights Planning Commission Meeting Page 3 of 12 of-way should have been platted with the original development with the remainder platted with this but acknowledged that did not occur. Commissioner Katz asked who would pay for the maintenance of the private driveway. Community Development Director Tim Benetti stated that this would stay a private driveway that would be shared by the property owners that abut the driveway and therefore the City would never maintain or plow the driveway. He stated that the property owners would need to agree to an agreement for maintenance that will be memorialized through the development agreement. Chair Magnuson asked the narrowest roadway width necessary for two cars to pass. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek commented that two 11-foot lanes with an additional two feet for reaction. He commented that there are some streets in Mendota Heights that are 20 feet wide, which is the narrowest width allowed under Fire Code. Chair Magnuson asked the difference between a private drive and alley. Community Development Director Tim Benetti reviewed the definition of an alley, which separates the back of lots; and Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek confirmed that an alley is constructed in public right-of-way. Chair Magnuson referenced Finding-of-Fact J, which states that the driveway must be widened to 20-feet in width. She noted that while she does not disagree with that, it does not match the 16- foot width proposed. Community Development Director Tim Benetti stated that if a 16-foot-wide driveway were provided and the homes were sprinkled, the Fire Department would accept 16 feet. He stated that if the sprinkler systems were not installed, a 20-foot driveway would be required. Commissioner Toth asked why lot two is the smallest lot. Community Development Director Tim Benetti stated that the original plat had the wrong area and dimensions. He stated that the consultant had to revision the plat to ensure that the lots meet the size requirements. He stated that he recommended that lot three maintain 100 feet of frontage to the private driveway. Commissioner Toth referenced the driveway that would be shared by lots two and three and asked if that would be asphalt or class five. Community Development Director Tim Benetti stated that the driveway would be asphalt; and further stated concrete would also be allowed, but class five would not be allowed. Jon Faraci, of Lake and Land Surveying, representing the applicants, stated that he has an agreement, covenant to construct a joint driveway, which was signed in 1992. He stated that he has easements from the Walkers and Petersons for ingress, egress, and utilities. He noted that the June 23, 2020 Mendota Heights Planning Commission Meeting Page 4 of 12 agreement also addresses the shared costs. He explained that the Petersons originally did not want to develop their property in the 90s and wanted to enjoy it privately. He stated that the Petersons are now reaching retirement and would like to develop the property and use the proceeds to enjoy their retirement. Chair Magnuson opened the public hearing. Community Development Director Tim Benetti read aloud the written comments that were received prior to the meeting, which will be incorporated into the record, from property owners at 1771 Dodd Road, 1781 Dodd Road, 1780 Dodd Road, 1769 Dodd Road, 1768 Dodd Road, and 663 Marie Avenue (written comments attached hereto). Chair Magnuson asked for a motion to close the public hearing. COMMISSIONER KATZ MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MAZZITELLO, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS PERFORMED: COMMISSIONER CORBETTT AYE COMMISSIONER TOTH AYE COMMISSIONER MAZZITELLO AYE COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL AYE COMMISSIONER KATZ AYE CHAIR MAGNUSON AYE COMMISSIONER MAZZITELLO MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KATZ, TO RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF MOEHN ADDITION, ALONG WITH A VARIANCE TO ALLOW TWO OF THE THREE LOTS IN THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION TO NOT HAVE FRONTAGE ALONG A PUBLIC ROADWAY SYSTEM, AND FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1770 DODD ROAD, BASED ON THE FINDINGS OF FACT THAT CONFIRM THE APPLICANT FAILED TO MEET THE BURDEN(S) OF PROOF OR STANDARDS IN GRANTING OF THE VARIANCE REQUESTED HEREIN. Chair Magnuson called for discussion on the motion. Commissioner Mazzitello commented that he understands the intent of the applicant, noting that the agreement from 1992 makes things grey. He stated that in order to issue a variance, three criteria must be analyzed and met in order to meet the practical difficulties, with No. 1 being the property will be used in a reasonable manner not otherwise permitted by the zoning ordinance, and stated the commission can discuss what is reasonable, but that is not the one he is focused on here. The third is whether the variance will alter the essential character or locality of the neighborhood, and since we can see what is completely developed around this site and what is being proposed under this plan, this should not necessarily alter the character of the neighborhood. Commissioner Mazzitello concluded by stating he is focused on Criteria No. 2, the plight of the owner is due to circumstances unique to the property, not created by the property owner. In 1991 there was a plat June 23, 2020 Mendota Heights Planning Commission Meeting Page 5 of 12 approved to the north and an agreement in 1992 that the current owner was a party to, and the practical difficulty being presented that there are no options for the two lots (in this proposed plat) was actually created by the owner, so he thinks the application does not meet said criteria; and therefore a reason for denial. No other comments or discussion were added by the commission. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS PERFORMED: COMMISSIONER CORBETTT AYE COMMISSIONER TOTH AYE COMMISSIONER MAZZITELLO AYE COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL NAY COMMISSIONER KATZ AYE CHAIR MAGNUSON AYE Motion passed 5 to 1 in favor. Chair Magnuson advised the City Council would consider this application at its July 7, 2020 meeting. B) PLANNING CASE 2020-11 JOHN COSGRIFF, 1875 HUNTER LANE – PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT Community Development Director Tim Benetti explained that John Cosgriff is requesting consideration of a preliminary plat and final plat of a two-parcel combination to be titled “Cosgriff Place”, located at 1875 Hunter Lane. Hearing notices were published and mailed to all properties within 350-ft. of the site; no comments or objections to this request were received. Community Development Director Tim Benetti provided a planning staff report and a presentation on this planning item to the Commission (which is available for viewing through the City’s website). Staff recommended approval of this application based on the findings and with conditions. John Cosgriff, applicant, stated that he was available to answer any questions. Commissioner Mazzitello referenced the existing plat, which includes a lot to the north. He asked what would happen to that lot when this is replatted to Cosgriff Place. Community Development Director Tim Benetti replied that lot to the north would remain as a part of the existing subdivision that it belongs to. Chair Magnuson opened the public hearing. Community Development Director Tim Benetti stated that no comments were received prior to tonight’s meeting for this case. June 23, 2020 Mendota Heights Planning Commission Meeting Page 6 of 12 Chair Magnuson asked for a motion to close the public hearing. COMMISSIONER TOTH MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER CORBETTT, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

Chair Magnuson advised the City Council would consider this application at its July 7, 2020 meeting. C) PLANNING CASE 2020-12 VERIZON WIRELESS, 1060 DAKOTA DRIVE – CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Community Development Director Tim Benetti explained that Verizon Wireless is seeking a conditional use permit for new wireless/cellular antenna equipment to be installed on top of the existing Deerwood Bank facilities, located at 1060 Dakota Drive. Title 12-1D-4 of the Code requires conditional use permit approval for wireless antennas and related equipment installations, subject to conditions. Hearing notices were published and mailed to all properties within 350-ft. of the site; comments were received that will be read as part of the public hearing. Community Development Director Tim Benetti provided a planning staff report and a presentation on this planning item to the Commission (which is available for viewing through the City’s website). June 23, 2020 Mendota Heights Planning Commission Meeting Page 7 of 12 Staff recommended approval of this application based on the findings and with conditions. Commissioner Toth asked which other locations were considered for this project. Karyn Acevedo of TechScape Wireless, consultant for the applicant, Verizon Wireless, stated that this was the only location that would work based on the locations of the existing sites. She commented that this site is positioned centrally between the existing locations. Commissioner Toth asked for background information on a tower that was discussed on the north side of City Hall, near the police station. Community Development Director Tim Benetti stated that in his four years he cannot recall discussions of a tower on City Hall property. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek stated that he recalls previous discussions related to a tower at City Hall and at Wentworth Park but noted that he was not a part of those discussions. Commissioner Mazzitello commented that the applications were over one decade ago and were ultimately denied by the City Council. Chair Magnuson asked if the highest point would measure 41.5-foot height. Community Development Director Tim Benetti confirmed that is the overall proposed height of the antennas on top of the building. The antenna structures are planned to be no higher than 15- feet above the flat roof line, per City Code. Chair Magnuson opened the public hearing. Community Development Director Tim Benetti read aloud written comments received from residents at 1075 Mary Adele Avenue and 1044 Dakota Drive, and summarized verbal comments received from Uba ?, the operator/owner adjacent business Minnesota Childcare Center, regarding her concerns of potential radiation or cell radio waves affecting the health and safety of children next door (written comments attached hereto). Chair Magnuson asked for a motion to close the public hearing. Chair Magnuson asked the applicant if there have been any studies related to radio waves/radio activity relative to the towers. Ms. Acevedo replied that there are studies that have been completed with results on either side of the issue. She provided details on the FCC Telecommunications Act and required licenses that require operators to operate within the safety thresholds. Commissioner Toth commented that these are panels on top of a rooftop that will not extend above 14 feet 5 inches from the rooftop. He stated that it appears the panels will be proportionately in June 23, 2020 Mendota Heights Planning Commission Meeting Page 8 of 12 the middle of the building; therefore, they should not be visible for those walking or driving in the area. Community Development Director Tim Benetti stated that the intent is to ensure the panels are unobstructed, therefore there will most likely be some visibility of the structure on the roof to some degree, but it would depend on the perspective. Commissioner Corbett stated that in the picture in the staff report it appears that there is a landmark or structure on the roof that is visible in one of the site pictures. Community Development Director Tim Benetti confirmed that could be a dish antenna, or part of the air conditioning unit or vent stack. Commissioner Corbett commented that the panels will most likely be twice as high as the existing equipment on the roof. Commissioner Toth referenced the FCC rules and asked how close antennas can be to existing gas stations, using the example of possible lightning strikes to an antenna. Ms. Acevedo replied that the towers are grounded and have lightning rods. She stated that she has never heard of a situation of that nature happening and could not imagine that there would be an impact to a gas station nearby.

June 23, 2020 Mendota Heights Planning Commission Meeting Page 10 of 12 D) PLANNING CASE 2020-13 LDK BUILDERS, 638 IVY FALLS AVENUE – CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Community Development Director Tim Benetti explained that the applicants are seeking a conditional use permit to allow construction of a new single-family dwelling three feet above the previous dwelling structure. Hearing notices were published and mailed to all properties within 350-ft. of the site; one comment was received that will be part of the public hearing. Community Development Director Tim Benetti provided a planning staff report and a presentation on this planning item to the Commission (which is available for viewing through the City’s website). Staff recommended approval of this application based on the findings and with conditions. Commissioner Toth asked if the grade change would change in any way that would impact the runoff received by the adjacent neighbor or whether that would remain the same. Community Development Director Tim Benetti stated that there will be some slight changes on the east side. He stated that staff is aware of issues with the property to the east and this request will ensure that this site handles its own drainage, noting the diagram showing the flow for this property. He stated that the applicant is also placing drain tiles that would tie into the City storm system. Chair Magnuson opened the public hearing. Community Development Director Tim Benetti summarized verbal comments received from the neighbor to the west that will be a part of the record. He stated that the applicant will work with the neighbor to resolve any concerns. Chair Magnuson asked for a motion to close the public hearing.

Adjournment COMMISSIONER MAZZITELLO MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER TOTH, TO ADJOURN THE MEETING AT 8:39 P.M. AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 Mendota Heights Planning Commission, Regarding Case No. 2020-10, My wife and I are homeowners on Marie Ave, with a property adjoining 1770 Dodd Road. In so far as any development on this site adheres to federal and local laws regarding the protection of responsible stewardship of wetlands and environmental resources, I support the proposed replat. In the years to come, the Twin Cities metropolitan area is facing a harmful housing shortage, largely a result of overzealous municipal zoning laws. I am not an expert in the fields of economic or urban planning, but I know enough to state confidently that housing shortages impeded economic growth, while harming the social fabric of the community. Economists and sociologists have documented the following specific negative externalities we can expect as the shortage worsens: - Runaway inflation of housing costs - Increased incidence of homelessness - Slower economic growth - Reduced economic productivity - Housing and economic outcomes which disproportionately hurt minority communities - Severe market distortion For this reason, as a community, we should at the very least be maximizing land use under the existing zoning code. In an ideal world, we would look at changing the existing code to allow for targeted, intelligent, sustainable redevelopment which respects the character of the community, however I understand that reforming the zoning code is beyond the scope of this hearing. Yes, in my back yard. Your neighbors, Curtis Johnson and Katelyn Rousse From:Tim Benetti To:Tim Benetti Subject:FW: Contact City Hall (form) has been filled out on your site.

When we moved to Mendota Heights (from Saint Paul), we were seeking a "more country feel" without leaving a general urban environment. We found that here in Mendota Heights. It seems that there are many other locations where a new cell phone tower could be built without disrupting such a serene neighborhood.

We live at 1075 Mary Adele. The houses on my side of the street already have power lines running through our front yards. It seems unfair to put a cell tower behind our back yards. I propose another location so that four houses are not penalized in their front yards as well as behind our back yards. Thank You!

On June 18, 2020, I received a letter from the City in regards to Verizon wanting to put wireless equipment on the roof of the Deerwood Bank at 1060 Dakota Dr. This is a very serious topic, with possible side affects that could be very dangers. Therefore, I am asking the City to table this issue for a month to do some studying; and to be able to attend a traditional meeting, not a zoom meeting where those most affected will have no voice. Also this notice was not given in adequate time for those people who have to fly in from Florida and Arizona. Please reschedule this for next month. I am requesting that Patricia Curley White (additional owner) receive notices on this property in the future, as well as our tenant Ekramm Abdilahi. *Patricia Curley White *Ekraam Abdilahi 13106 W.
