The following Commissioners were present: Chair Litton Field, Commissioners Cindy Johnson, Brian Petschel, Brian Udell, Jason Stone, and Andrew Katz. Those absent: Commissioner Patrick Corbett. Approval of Agenda The agenda was approved as submitted. Approval of April 25, 2023 Minutes COMMISSIONER STONE MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER UDELL TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF APRIL 25, 2023. AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 Hearings A)PLANNING CASE 2023-07 DOUDA AND KIRBY, 5 DORSET ROAD AND 3 DORSET ROAD – MINOR SUBDIVISION AND VARIANCE Planning Consultant Haskamp explained that Jackie Douda is the applicant and owner of the property located at 5 Dorset Road, and Mary and Tim Kirby are the applicants and owners of the property located at 3 Dorset Road. The subject application includes two requests, a variance from the minimum lot width/frontage on 5 Dorset Road and a lot line rearrangement/adjustment of the shared property line between the two subject properties. Hearing notices were published and mailed to all properties within 350-ft. of the site; no comments or objections to this request were received. Planning Consultant Haskamp 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. Chair Field opened the public hearing. 2 2a. July 25, 2023 Mendota Heights Planning Commission Meeting Page 2 of 7 Jackie Douda and Mary Kirby were present to address any questions. They were in agreement with the lot line adjustment. Commissioner Katz asked if there is a reason this is being done now. Ms. Douda commented that she moved into the property in October and discovered that the lot line does not match with how the properties are being used. Ms. Kirby commented that they purchased their property in 1991 and discovered the lot line boundaries when they had a survey done but the previous owners were not interested in adjusting the lot line. She commented that they were thrilled to have a new neighbor that was interested in completing the adjustment. Seeing no one further coming forward wishing to speak, Chair Field asked for a motion to close the public hearing. COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 Commissioner Johnson commented that the lots are currently conforming, and this change would create a nonconforming lot, therefore she had some concerns about that. She asked if there would be other options to accomplish the outcome the applicants would like. Planning Consultant Haskamp commented that they are currently working on updating the zoning code and many of the lots in this area have 70 to 100 feet of frontage. She commented that the 85 feet would fall under the minimum width standard being discussed under the new zoning code update. Commissioner Johnson stated that she believes this lot exceeded the maximum lot size being discussed for that zoning district as they have been discussing. She asked if there would be an option to create an easement for the portion of the lot being adjusted so the property owners could continue to use as they have been without creating a nonconforming lot. Chair Field noted that the applicants have submitted this proposal as presented and they cannot tell the applicants what to do or not do. Commissioner Johnson commented that she was simply asking if there was another way to resolve this issue without creating a nonconforming lot. Commissioner Petschel commented that this would be very similar to the Saint Thomas Academy lot line adjustment with Patterson Dental, where there was an assumption of where the lot line was that dictated the use of the property for years and the line was later adjusted. He noted that in this 3 July 25, 2023 Mendota Heights Planning Commission Meeting Page 3 of 7 instance the lot already has a nonconforming standard in the setback and therefore he was not too worried about creating another. Commissioner Stone commented that there are two property owners that seem to be very fair to each other and it would seem to make sense to grant this request. He was not concerned with the proposal as presented. He did not think an easement would solve the issue. Commissioner Petschel commented that the practical difficulty was that the lot line was not drawn normal to the road and the orientation of the house reflects a lot line that was drawn normal to the road. COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER STONE, TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT AND VARIANCE BASED ON THE FINDINGS OF FACT SUPPORTING THE REQUEST, WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1. APPLICANTS MUST RECORD THE LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT (MINOR SUBDIVISION) AT DAKOTA COUNTY INDICATING THE NEWLY REVISED PROPERTY DESCRIPTIONS FOR THE RESULTING LOTS. 2. ALL TRANSFER OR DEED DOCUMENTS WHICH CONVEY THE PORTION OF LANDS UNDER THE LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT AND LOT SPLIT PROCESS SHALL BE RECORDED WITH DAKOTA COUNTY. AYES: 5 NAYS: 1 (JOHNSON) Chair Field advised the City Council would consider this application at its August 2, 2023 meeting. B) PLANNING CASE 2023-11 KEELEY, 1661 MAYFIELD HEIGHTS ROAD – VARIANCE Planning Consultant Haskamp explained that Thomas and Maureen Keeley are the applicants and owners of the property located at 1661 Mayfield Heights Road, and they are requesting a variance from the Accessory Building standards to permit two detached garages on the subject property. Hearing notices were published and mailed to all properties within 350-ft. of the site; no comments or objections to this request were received. Planning Consultant Haskamp 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 denial of this application based on the findings. Chair Field opened the public hearing. Thomas Keeley, applicant, stated that they are trying to take an old home, keeping it as original as they can, and add a two-car garage to make the property more functional. 4 July 25, 2023 Mendota Heights Planning Commission Meeting Page 4 of 7 Commissioner Katz asked if the applicant understands the staff recommendation for denial. Mr. Keeley commented that he does not. Commissioner Petschel commented that he does not believe that staff sees an obvious practical difficulty and asked the applicant if he has input on that topic. He explained that something about the property would need to present a burden that would prevent the project from being completed in a normal way. Mr. Keeley commented that they want to keep the originality of the existing structure and he would use the existing structure as his home office, as he works from home. He commented that it would seem wasteful to remove a structure that is functional and could be useful. He stated that the two- car garage would be functional for their vehicles, and they would be removing a large shed from the property. He asked the options that they would have if this were to be denied. Commissioner Petschel commented that there are implications to denial and if it seems unlikely to pass, the applicant could ask to table the request to revise the plans. Chair Field noted that a denial would mean that the applicant could not come back with the request for another six to 12 months. Commissioner Stone asked if the applicant has reached out to the City to speak about the request. Mr. Keeley replied that he had not. Commissioner Stone noted that perhaps that would be the first step, to reach out to staff to gain additional input on the number of structures allowed. Chair Field noted that some of that information is within the staff report. Commissioner Petschel commented that he likes the project and thinks it is cool but has to make his decision based on the City regulations. Mr. Keeley asked if he would need to look at options to revise his plan if this were tabled. Chair Field agreed that if this were tabled, he would recommend reaching out to staff to talk about what would be allowed and how to revise his plans. Mr. Keeley agreed that he would like the request to be tabled. Planning Consultant Haskamp provided details on the review timeline, noting that a decision would need to be made by October 24th. She stated that the Commission would need to take action at its September meeting at the latest. Chair Field stated that he could agree to an extension which would remove that time constraint. 5 July 25, 2023 Mendota Heights Planning Commission Meeting Page 5 of 7 Mr. Keeley agreed to an extension. Chair Field commented that the applicant and staff could work out the details of an extension and work together to determine how the plans could be revised. Commissioner Katz asked if the applicant could withdraw his request if desired to remove the time constraints as well. Planning Consultant Haskamp stated that if the applicant wants to work with staff, she would recommend tabling to prevent the applicant from paying another application fee. She commented that she would be happy to work with the applicant. She commented that there may have been some miscommunication as she only spoke with the builder and not the applicant directly. Seeing no one coming forward wishing to speak, Chair Field asked for a motion to close the public hearing. COMMISSIONER KATZ MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL, TO TABLE THE REQUEST AND KEEP THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN. AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 C) PLANNING CASE 2023-12 LEMKE, 1924 COVENTRY CT – CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Planning Consultant Haskamp explained that the applicants are seeking a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to permit the expansion of their existing attached private garage. If the proposed expansion is approved, the total garage square footage will be approximately 1,300 square feet. Hearing notices were published and mailed to all properties within 350-ft. of the site; one member of the public made an inquiry regarding the proposed project. Planning Consultant Haskamp 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 Petschel asked if the wall separating the two primary areas was not removed, would that still be a garage. He asked if it would still be considered a garage if a vehicle could not be stored inside it. Planning Consultant Haskamp did not believe the Code was that specific. Commissioner Johnson asked if a driveway would be needed to access the garage. 6 July 25, 2023 Mendota Heights Planning Commission Meeting Page 6 of 7 Commissioner Petschel commented that they could be storing a lawnmower inside. Planning Consultant Haskamp replied that would be a better question of the applicant on how he would intend to access the garage. She stated that a driveway would not be required for a riding lawnmower but again noted that the applicant could provide the additional explanation on how this would be used. Chair Field opened the public hearing. Tim Lemke, applicant, stated that he does not plan to park cars or trucks in this garage and would park a snowmobile or ATV in the garage along with miscellaneous storage. He commented that in the front he would like to bump out the garage by four feet to allow additional space to maneuver around his truck when in the third stall of the garage. He stated that he did offset a bit on the side that would be visible to the neighbor. He commented that when looking from the front the addition would be negligible. Seeing no one coming forward wishing to speak, Chair Field asked for a motion to close the public hearing. COMMISSIONER KATZ MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER PETSCHEL, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 COMMISSIONER JOHNSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER STONE, TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE EXISTING ATTACHED GARAGE LOCATED AT 1924 COVENTRY COURT, BASED ON THE FINDINGS OF FACT OF SUPPORT, WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1.

AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 8 Planning Staff Report DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: APPLICANT: PROPERTY ADDRESS: LOT SIZE: ZONING/GUIDED: 120-DAY ACTION DEADLINE: August 22, 2023 Planning Commission Jennifer Haskamp, AICP, SHC – Planning Consultant Planning Case No. 2023-13 MRCCA-CRITICAL AREA PERMIT Jon and Hillary Lenz 1666 Mayfield Heights Rd. 0.65 Acres (~28,125 SF) R-1 One Family Residential/LR Low Density Residential November 17, 2023 INTRODUCTION The Applicant and Owners, Jon and Hillary Lenz, are proposing to construct an addition onto their principal structure (residential home) which requires a Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA) permit. The Property is located within the MRCCA overlay district and any improvements and/or expansion of the structure is required to obtain a MRCCA Critical Area Permit. A duly noticed public hearing has been posted for August 22, 2023 in the Pioneer Press and individual notice letters were mailed to all owners within 350-feet of the subject Property. As of the date of this staff report, no comments or objections to the project have been received. BACKGROUND The subject property is generally located east of Mayfield Heights Road and south of Mayfield Heights Lane. While the lot is addressed from Mayfield Heights Road, the home and driveway are accessed from the north which is from the cul-de-sac (Mayfield Heights Lane.) The property was initially developed in 1956 with a single-family detached home with an attached two-stall garage which is located on the west side of the property. The subject lot is not platted, and was an exception to the Mayfield Heights subdivision in 1968. (See Aerial) 9 3a. Planning Case #2023-13 (Lenz) Page 2 The existing home and associated improvements are primarily developed on the western half of the lot, and the easter half is a mix of turf grass, vegetation and overstory trees. The lot is oriented east-west, with approximately 124-feet of frontage on Mayfield Heights Road (side yard/front) and 220-feet of frontage on Mayfield Heights Lane (front yard). The existing home is setback approximately 17-feet from Mayfield Heights Road (west – side yard/front), 42-feet from Mayfield Heights Lane (north – front yard), 30-feet from the south property line (rear) and 130-feet from the east property line (side yard). There is an existing shed on the property that is approximately 234-square feet and per the attached landscape plan is located in the southeast corner of the property. The existing home is positioned on the west half of the lot which is positioned at the highest point on the property. The existing home is built into the slope with the lower level exposed on the northeast corner of the property while the basement is fully underground on the south side of the property (See google images below for reference). Existing Home The existing home is a one-story with below-grade reverse walkout as shown in the images above. The existing home foundation size is approximately 1,328 square feet with and the tuck-under garage is approximately 300 square feet. Because of the grades of the property, and how the home was cut into the slope, the northwest corner is exposed while the existing south and east elevation basement area is below grade. Proposed Addition and Landscape Improvements The proposed addition is approximately 500 square feet and is located on the southeast façade of the principal structure expanding the lower level of the structure. The proposed project is unique given that the addition is “below” grade and is intended to utilize the downward slope by digging out a small area and expanding the lower level. The area of the proposed addition is on relatively flat grades and extends to the top of the downward slope which will create a walk-out for the addition area. By utilizing the grades, the lower level of the structure is exposed with ample windows and natural light making the basement area more livable, while minimizing the vertical impact of the addition since it will be limited to the basement level. As proposed, the roof of the addition will become a roof top deck with outdoor living space and eventually a pergola. The roof-top deck and pergola will be attached to the existing first-story of the home and will not exceed the height of the existing roof line. Attached to the proposed addition are exterior hardscape improvements including a proposed two-tier patio that extends northwest from the proposed addition. Per the Certificate of Survey, the upper-level patio is approximately 210 SF and the lower patio is approximately 331 SF with a total of 541 square of new patio area. The proposed patios are located within an area with more significant slope ranging between approximately 18% and 25% which will require raining walls to be constructed as depicted on the site plan. The existing improvements on site have an impervious surface coverage of approximately 4,746 SF which is approximately 17.6% of the lot. With the proposed addition and exterior improvements, the impervious surface coverage increases to 5,734 SF which is approximately 21.3% of the lot. 10 Planning Case #2023-13 (Lenz) Page 3 ANALYSIS MRCCA Critical Are Permit Per Title 12, Chapter 3 Critical Area Overlay District a Critical Area Permit is required for the subject project. The following summary of the site is provided as reference: Standard Subject Property Conditions MRCCA Sub District Separated from River Bluff on Site? No Bluff Impact Zone (BIZ) No, addition is located more than 185 feet from nearest BIZ Significant Vegetative Stands No, addition is located more than 250 feet from nearest significant area Subject to Section 12-3-9 Vegetation Management No, does not meet criteria Subject to Section 12-3-11 Land Alteration Standards and Stormwater Management Yes. Addition is permitted but stormwater must be diverted from any BIZ area. Steep slope development is permitted with conditions: •Not within any BIZ area. •Soil types are suitable. •Vegetation is managed consistent with ordinance standards. Subject to Section 12-3-12 Site Plan Requirements Yes. Must include Site Plan and Landscape Plan As described in Section 12-3-4 C.3., the Separated from River (SR) sub-district describes the management purpose as, “..provides flexibility in managing development without negatively affecting the key resources and features of the river corridor. Minimizing negative impacts to primary conservation areas and minimizing erosion and the flow of untreated storm water into the river are priorities…” As indicated on the attached GIS maps, there are no Bluff Impact Zones (BIZ), Bluffs or Primary Conservation Areas (PCAs) including significant vegetative stands on the subject property. All stormwater must be managed in compliance with the City’s stormwater and land disturbance requirements which are requirements of the Building Permit process. Per Code Sect. 12-3-12, the Detailed Site Plan must be drawn to scale and the proposed project accurately described through narrative and supporting maps and/or plans. A full plan set, including the Site Concept Plan, Architectural Plans and Landscape have been submitted by the Applicant, and is attached to this Staff Report. As shown on the Site Concept Plan, the proposed addition will cut into the existing hill to the northeast of the existing home where slopes exceed 18%. As previously described, the proposed addition is unique because it is below-grade as it exists today but becomes exposed on the northeast corner once excavated. Gading, excavation and land disturbance within steep slope areas is permitted within the MRCCA overlay district provided it meets certain conditions. Section 12-3-11 stipulates that such activity may not be located within a BIZ, soil types must be deemed suitable, and the vegetation and erosion control must be adequately managed. As noted previously, there are no Bluff, BIZ or PCA areas on the subject lot, and therefore development within a steep slope area is generally permissible. The City’s Public Work Director has reviewed the plans including soil types and has no additional comments regarding the current 11 Planning Case #2023-13 (Lenz) Page 4 plans. Restoration of the site with vegetation including shade seed/blanket mix is proposed post construction, and an extensive landscape plan is proposed. As described in the Applicant’s narrative and shown on the Landscape Plan, the proposed addition and hardscape improvements result in the removal of two trees, one existing Spruce Tree and one existing Linden Tree. As shown on the landscape plan, the proposed plan will incorporate additional native plantings including 6 bobo hydrangeas, 14 chicagoland boxwoods, 6 quick fire hydrangeas, karl forester grass and native perennials including coreopsia, aster, baptisia, coneflowers, joe pye weed, native grasses, listria, etc. Additionally, 5 Dakota Pinnacle Birch and 2 Sugar Maple will also be planted as part of the landscape plan. The proposed addition and hardscape improvements are designed to improve the drainage and grading on the site as described within the narrative. Given the grades of the property, several retaining walls are proposed surrounding the extents of the addition and patio areas. These retaining walls will assist with drainage but will also support stabilization of the grades post construction. The drainage improvements including retaining walls and swales will improve and divert drainage northwest towards the low spot on the lot. This information, as well as the submitted soil types have been submitted to the Public Works Director and he has indicated that he has no additional comments or recommendations on the plans at this time. However, it should be noted that the detailed grading plan must include full retaining wall specifications to determine what permits, if any, are required for their installation. The architectural plans note that on the addition’s rooftop deck that pergola may be constructed. This was included in the plan set and was also transmitted to the MNDNR and NPS for review. As proposed the pergola meets the height standards as it is well below the height of the roof line of the one-story home. Since this is a future improvement, it should be expressly noted that the pergola would be permitted to be constructed without an amendment to the Critical Area Permit provided it matches the plan set dated July 20, 2023, and that no further MNDNR or NPS review is required. As proposed, the addition, hardscape improvement and landscape plan comply with the R-1 zoning district standards. The addition complies with all required setbacks, height and lot dimensional requirements. The Applicant must demonstrate the development of this site will not adversely impact neighboring residential properties provided the conditions are met, including that proper site grading, erosion control and stormwater standards are met during and after construction. The information submitted by the Applicant is complete and is adequate for conceptual review to demonstrate that the project will comply with all MRCCA standards and all applicable City Code requirements. Final grading, stormwater, erosion control and development plans will be reviewed as part of the building permit process that includes a stormwater land disturbance permit to be obtained. Based on the information contained within the submission, the proposed addition, hardscape improvements and landscape plan will have minimal or no adverse impact on adjacent properties or the neighborhood. INTERAGENCY REVIEW Under the MRCCA Ordinance, the city is required to submit the MRRCA permit request to the MNDNR and the National Park Service (NPS). The plan set and project information was transmitted to both agencies on August 7, 2023 for their review and comment. Both agencies replied on August 8, 2023 and indicated that they have no issues or comments regarding the proposed project. ALTERNATIVES 1. Approve the MRCCA-Critical Area Permit request for 1666 Mayfield Heights Road, which would allow for the construction of the addition, hardscape and landscape improvements, based on the 12 Planning Case #2023-13 (Lenz) Page 5 findings-of-fact that the proposed project is compliant with the policies and standards of the MRCCA Overlay District and City Zoning Code standards, with certain conditions; or 2. Deny the MRCCA-Critical Area Permit request for 1666 Mayfield Heights Road, based on the revised or amended findings-of-fact that the application does not meet certain policies and standards of City Code as determined by the Planning Commission; or 3.Table the request; direct staff to work with the Applicants and allow them more time to refine the site plan for the property and extend the application review period an additional 60 days, in compliance with Minnesota State Statute 15.99. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the MRCCA-Critical Area Permit request for 1666 Mayfield Heights Road, with the following conditions: 1.A building permit, including a full grading plan, must be approved by the City of Mendota Heights prior to the commencement of any site work. 2. The proposed project must comply with all requirements of the City’s Land Disturbance Guidance Document. All plans must be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Director. 3.All erosion control requirements as approved in the Erosion Control Plan must be put in place prior to the commencement of any grading and site work activities. Such measures must remain in place for the duration of the construction activities until proper site restoration plans are completed. 4.All grading and construction activity must comply with applicable federal, state, and local regulations and codes. 5.The landscape plan must be planted and installed per the plant schedule identified on the Landscape Plan. Any deviation from the plant schedule must be with an approved Native Plant, or an amendment to the permit may be required. 6.The future pergola identified on the plan set dated July 20, 2023 shall not require a separate MRCCA permit provided it complies with, and matches, the plans. 7.All work on site will only be performed between the hours of 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM Monday through Friday; 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM weekends. 8.All disturbed areas in and around the project site shall be restored and have an established and permanent ground cover immediately after the project is completed. 13 Planning Case #2023-13 (Lenz) Page 6 FINDINGS-OF-FACT FOR APPROVAL MRCAA -Critical Area Permit for 1666 Mayfield Heights Road The following Findings of Fact are made in support of approval of the proposed requests: 1.The proposed addition, hardscape and landscape project meets the general purpose and intent of the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA) Separated from River Overlay District. 2.The proposed work and disturbance to construct the addition, hardscape and landscape improvements are low-intensity and a significant part of the lot is retained in pervious area including greenspace and vegetation. The proposed project is within the spirit and intent of the MRCCA Separated from River Overlay District that provides for flexibility within the management purpose. 3.The proposed project will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the community; should not cause any serious traffic congestion nor hazards; will not seriously depreciate surrounding property value; and said use appears to be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City Code and the Comprehensive Plan. 4.The construction of the addition, hardscape and landscape improvements shown in the plan set dated July 20, 2023 comply with all standards and regulations of the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area Overlay District and Zoning Ordinance and other applicable ordinances; represents reinvestment in a residential neighborhood that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s goals for residential land uses; and is consistent with current single-family development pattern of the neighborhood. 14 7403 Ridgeway Rd.— Golden Valley, MN 55427— Phone: 612.599.0265 E-Mail: jbattles@acaciaarchitects.com Web: www.acaciaarchitects.com Acacia Architects ◼ www.acaciaarchitects.com ◼ 612.599.0265 Date: July 20, 2023 City of Mendota Heights MRCCA Letter of Intent 1101 Victoria Curve Mendota Heights, MN 55118 Dear City of Mendota Heights: We are submitting for a Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area Permit for a single-family residential property located at 1666 Mayfield Heights Rd. Mendota Heights, MN 55118. The proposed project entails a single-story addition off the east side of the existing home built in 1956. The addition falls within the existing zoning constraints for the property. It has a 500 sq.ft. gross foundation footprint composed of two bedrooms, a roof deck over the addition, a patio and new sidewalks to the addition. An existing 487 sq.ft. side & rear deck will be removed in the area where the addition is located. The addition is an extension off the existing basement and as such a majority of the addition will be below existing grade and minimally impact view corridors. The goal of the addition is to provide better access to the current eastern primary yard space as well as some additional living space for a growing family. The existing basement finished ceilings range from 6’-9”- 7-4” and minimize the usability of the space. The new space will have standard 8’ ceilings. The project will improve the usability of the house and site while also adding to and enhancing the existing landscaping. No trees will be removed as part of the project and new landscaping will be implemented including the addition of native plantings. The area impacted by the addition will only have turf removal. The addition will also resolve some drainage issues on the southeast corner of the house where conditions currently allow moisture into the basement. The existing slope & drainage of the site drain to the east and the project will better manage but not change this.

Per City Code Section 12-1L-8, any owner of property within the City may request an amendment to the Zoning Code. The Applicant has specifically requested an amendment to Section 12-1G-2: Conditional Uses, which is a subsection of Article G. Industrial District regulations. The proposed amendment is to ADD “Commercial Recreation, Outdoor” to the City Code. A duly noticed public hearing was published in the Pioneer Press. While the proposed amendment would apply to any property zoned Industrial in the City, the Applicant’s change is proposed to specifically allow for such use on property located as 1415 Mendota Heights Road. Given the intent of the application, notices were sent to properties within 350-feet of the subject property indicating the proposed Zoning Text Amendment. DISCUSSION & BACKGROUND The Applicant attended a Planning Commission Zoning Code Update work session when Allowed Uses was discussed. During the work session the Applicant was given the opportunity to discuss their request to include Commercial Outdoor Recreation as a conditionally permitted use within the Industrial zoning district. The Planning Commission generally reacted favorably to the request and indicated that certain conditions should also be considered for incorporation. Such considerations included that the Commercial Outdoor Recreation use should only be permitted when accessory to a compatible, and similar, use such as Commercial Recreation uses contained fully within an enclosed building. 30 3b. Planning Case 2023-14 Zoning Code Text Amendment –Commercial Recreation, Outdoor in Industrial Zone Page 2 of 2 During the course of discussion, the Applicant indicated that requiring such uses to be accessory to a principal use on the property was acceptable due to the indoor Commercial Recreation uses planned for their site (See attached narrative for summary of indoor uses). While this language was not specifically included within the Applicant’s narrative, it is implied by the references to the indoor activities that have already been approved under separated Conditional Use Permit. Given the Applicant’s narrative, and the discussion at the Spring 2023 work session, the following draft language is proposed to be added to the Zoning Code and is provided for your review and consideration. •Section 12-1G-2 Conditional Uses. Add “Commercial recreation, Outdoor” to the list, and incorporate the following conditions: o The outdoor commercial recreation use must be accessory to a permitted or conditionally permitted principal use. o Outdoor recreation uses must be compatible and consistent with the principal use. o Adequate parking must be provided on site. The total area used for the outdoor commercial recreation use shall be used to determine the required number of stalls. o A site plan must be submitted to show the site layout, type and location of outdoor recreation uses proposed, the parking configuration, any proposed exterior lighting locations, and proposed landscaping. o An operations plan must be submitted that includes the proposed hours of operation. No other changes to the code are proposed. The proposed addition in reflected in the attached draft Ordinance Number 579. ALTERNATIVES for ACTION The proposed ordinance amendment is to Title 12-Zoning, which requires the Planning Commission to provide a review under a public hearing process and provide a recommendation to the City Council. The Planning Commission may consider one of the three following actions: 1.Recommend approval of the draft Ordinance No. 579 which amends certain sections of Zoning Code Title 12 – Zoning, as presented herein or with added/revised language and standards deemed necessary by the commission; or 2.Recommend denial of the requested zoning code amendments and make no changes to Title 12 – Zoning, with findings to support such a recommendation; or 3.Table the amendment request, and direct city staff to provide additional information for further consideration by the Planning Commission and present this information at the next scheduled Planning Commission meeting. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Recommend approval of the draft Ordinance No. 579 as presented herein, or as may be modified through Planning Commission discussion. Please note that the proposed ordinance amendment does not approve a specific project or application and will apply to all Industrial zone properties in the City. The Applicant will be required to make separate application for a Conditional Use Permit for the specific project if the ordinance amendment is approved. Attachments 1)Letter of Intent – Narrative from Applicant 2)Draft Ordinance No. 579 31 August 4, 2023 City of Mendota Heights 1101 Victoria Curve Mendota Heights, MN 55118 RE: LETTER OF INTENT To Whom it May Concern: Attached please find a completed Zoning Ordinance Amendment Application. We are requesting the City of Mendota Heights permit Commercial Outdoor Recreational use in an Industrial zoning district with a Conditional Use Permit at 1415 Mendota Heights Road. It is our intention to create a racquets club at this location. The club would consist of: •4 Pickleball Courts Indoors •4 Pickleball Courts Outdoors •1 Padel Court Indoors •2 Padel Courts Outdoors •3 Squash Courts Indoors •1 Squash Doubles Court Indoors Pickleball has become an incredibly popular sport enjoyed by individuals of all ages and abilities yet the options to play this sport year-round in Minnesota are extremely limited. The creation of indoor pickleball courts is an excellent opportunity for players to enjoy this sport year-round. Padel is a popular racquet sport in Europe and is just now being introduced in the US. We would like to be one of the first facilities to offer the opportunity to learn and play this sport in the Midwest. For the uninitiated, Padel is a mix between tennis and pickleball. Squash is a racquet sport that has been played in Minnesota for close to 100 years. There are limited opportunities to play this sport and we believe an addition of squash courts in Mendota Heights will be well received. Participants would come primarily from the surrounding area and would reserve court times online prior to playing. Please see our response statements to the following standards: a)The proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the community. On the contrary, we believe the creation of our proposed racquet courts will enhance the health, safety and general welfare of the community. These sports contribute to a healthy lifestyle and recreation and will provide an opportunity to local residents to participate in sports that have an easy entry level and general popularity. 32 b)The proposed use will not cause serious traffic congestion nor hazards – we don’t anticipate any serious traffic congestion nor hazards caused by the creation of a racquets club. Our building has roughly 100 parking spots which is more than adequate to support folks reserving court time. c)The proposed use will not seriously depreciate surrounding property value – we believe that the creation of indoor racquet courts will positively impact the surrounding property values by bringing something of value to the community, promoting wellness and engaging various members of the community. d)The proposed use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City Code and the comprehensive plan – To our knowledge the creation of racquet courts within our facility at 1415 Mendota Heights Road does not violate any provisions within the City Code and instead will enhance the general well-being of the community by bringing recreational and wellness opportunities to residents of Mendota Heights. We look forward to developing our proposed project in conjunction with city officials.
