1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:29,920
The Chan Hassen City Council, doing a short training session as well. And I think with that, I will turn it over to Eric Moss, community development director for the rest of the agenda. Joining the Planning Commission this evening, Commissioner Olm said and Commissioner Grover, so this time we'll turn it over to the City of Chan Hassen, Minnesota. To the best of my judgment and ability. To the best of my judgment and ability. So help me, God. So help me, God. Fantastic. Thank you.

2
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:36,460
Welcome typically the first meeting in April held by the Planning Commission is where we get a lot of our administrative

3
00:00:36,460 --> 00:00:40,800
It's not affirmed by the City Council. It is a Planning Commission decision

4
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:47,360
Typically it knows the two new ones might I will be out on parental leave for a decent chunk of this summer

5
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,760
That would be staff's recommendation for chair

6
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,480
We do not have a recommendation for vice chair

7
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:59,420
But we'd offer that to the Planning Commission for position the chair again for this next term to cover the planning and zoning committee means

8
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:03,860
We have to make a motion to elect Steve Job.

9
00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:06,260
Is that the correct pronunciation of you?

10
00:01:06,260 --> 00:01:06,540
Say aye.

11
00:01:06,980 --> 00:01:07,440
Aye, aye.

12
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:08,840
I'm going to stand.

13
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:09,460
I'm staying.

14
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:13,230
Excellent.

15
00:01:13,950 --> 00:01:17,870
So in summary, she will edit to the bylaws, the main one

16
00:01:17,870 --> 00:01:21,790
being that we wanted to clarify that it could occur in the event

17
00:01:21,790 --> 00:01:23,650
that we are absent on unexpected quorum.

18
00:01:24,550 --> 00:01:27,410
The other item is clarifying that with the planning commission,

19
00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:30,570
but understanding that things happen in life.

20
00:01:30,570 --> 00:01:32,350
For instance, I know I will miss.

21
00:01:32,530 --> 00:01:36,710
For those of the two recommendations from staff in terms of updates for the bylaws with

22
00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:37,510
that, I'll send for questions.

23
00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:47,130
And Mr. Chair, if there are versions of the bylaws that's in front of you.

24
00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:47,950
Aye.

25
00:01:48,570 --> 00:01:48,770
Aye.

26
00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:51,370
I appointed advisory body.

27
00:01:51,690 --> 00:01:55,050
So you all have been appointed to this body by the city council.

28
00:01:55,650 --> 00:02:01,250
You make, that means that zoning variances, so variances to chapter 20 are reviewed by

29
00:02:01,250 --> 00:02:02,530
by the planning and deciding vote,

30
00:02:03,290 --> 00:02:06,270
whereas in other cases typically you are a recommending body

31
00:02:06,270 --> 00:02:07,530
and deundation for the adjustments

32
00:02:07,530 --> 00:02:08,630
and giving you that authority.

33
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:13,120
So, this is something you-

34
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:28,240
In terms of deliberation and the running of the meeting. So that would be staff's recommendation for chair. We do not have a recommendation for vice chair, but we'd offer that to the planning commission for discussion. Thank you. With that being said, do I have any motion to position the chair again for this next term to cover the planning and zoning committee meetings? We have to make a motion to elect Steve Job. Is that the correct pronunciation?

35
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,600
I'm going to stay in motion.

36
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:35,620
Excellent.

37
00:05:36,340 --> 00:05:43,120
So in summary, chairman noise, chair roll, commissioner Job will continue in the vice chair roll.

38
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:47,200
That helps with our minute taking and just to record the meeting.

39
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:48,780
So thanks for that reminder.

40
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,400
She will add it to the bylaws.

41
00:05:50,660 --> 00:05:55,620
The main one being that we wanted to clarify that ins has been our past practice.

42
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,040
Again, absent decorum, no official recommendations or motions can be.

43
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,600
could occur in the event that we are absent on unexpected

44
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,460
quorum. The other item is clarifying that with the planning

45
00:06:06,460 --> 00:06:09,960
commission, but understanding that things happen in life,

46
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,080
for instance, I know I will miss for some attendance to be a

47
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,160
planning commissioner, but that if an attendance issue becomes

48
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,580
a problem, then the city council may relieve that planning

49
00:06:19,580 --> 00:06:22,200
commissioner of their duties if it becomes an issue instead of

50
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,020
shallow relief. So those are the two recommendations from staff

51
00:06:26,020 --> 00:06:28,620
in terms of updates for the bylaws, with that I'll send for

52
00:06:28,620 --> 00:06:28,980
questions.

53
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,160
And Mr. Chair, there are about a second.

54
00:06:38,850 --> 00:06:40,210
All right, all in favor of

55
00:06:40,210 --> 00:06:46,190
approving the version of the bylaws that's in front of you. Aye. Aye.

56
00:06:47,010 --> 00:06:51,510
Mr. Chair, with the conclusion of the organizational items completed, we're

57
00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:53,650
going to move on to planning commissioner training.

58
00:06:56,910 --> 00:06:58,790
This will be a refresher for

59
00:06:58,790 --> 00:07:03,670
some but a pointed advisory body. So you all have been appointed to this body by

60
00:07:03,670 --> 00:07:04,510
by the city council.

61
00:07:04,810 --> 00:07:05,290
You make...

62
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:10,600
That means that zoning variances, so variances to chapter 20, are reviewed by the planning and deciding vote. Whereas in other cases, typically you are a recommending body and

63
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,780
demondation for the adjustments and giving you that authority.

64
00:10:16,070 --> 00:10:31,330
So this is something new to names so that you have some familiarity with folks as they come up. So Eric Moss and the community development director, Samantha DiMaggio, she is the city's economic development manager. She actually isn't a room right over. They're having the economic development commission meeting right now as well.

65
00:10:31,330 --> 00:10:36,030
So you may see her for projects related to tax increment financing pack on who's your tonight

66
00:10:36,030 --> 00:10:39,050
She is our associate planner as well as Rachel Jessica our planner

67
00:10:39,690 --> 00:10:44,410
Miss Jessica's on vacation. So miss Jessica have been with the city about a year and a half now

68
00:10:45,410 --> 00:10:51,590
Very lucky to have them both resources specialist. So she handles everything from forestry questions to

69
00:10:53,790 --> 00:10:57,270
Composting to you name it she is our environmental resource. You'll see him really a fair amount

70
00:10:57,270 --> 00:10:59,790
He comes to quite a few meetings to talk through things like wetland

71
00:10:59,790 --> 00:11:02,170
and wetland impacts stormwater-mitting

72
00:11:02,170 --> 00:11:03,590
are a consultant forester.

73
00:11:04,030 --> 00:11:05,490
He's actually been helping the city off and on

74
00:11:05,490 --> 00:11:06,830
for about the last three years.

75
00:11:07,330 --> 00:11:08,750
He is currently soft right now.

76
00:11:09,250 --> 00:11:10,930
So, Manuel is helping two backfill

77
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:13,730
basically Jamie's busy season.

78
00:11:17,710 --> 00:11:18,790
Now getting more than nothing bolts

79
00:11:18,790 --> 00:11:21,410
to the comprehensive plan over what can go where?

80
00:11:21,610 --> 00:11:26,570
Is the easiest way I can distill that in terms of example,

81
00:11:27,890 --> 00:11:30,770
large lot residential, we allow zoning districts

82
00:11:30,770 --> 00:11:43,810
which permit between one unit and ten, excuse me, one housing unit per ten acres down to the downtown where we don't have a max density, but we anticipate it rocks me 32 units per acre.

83
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,560
This is updated every ten years with the city's update along with the Metropolitan Council.

84
00:11:53,560 --> 00:12:01,060
So the relationship that between zoning and land use is, once a property is guided by its

85
00:12:01,060 --> 00:12:03,900
land use designation, is established by that land use designation.

86
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:10,980
So for instance, residential large lot, that I mentioned earlier, our A2, our agricultural

87
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:13,900
state district, or our rural residential district.

88
00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:18,860
So you'll see in staff reports from us that what is the land use designation for the property?

89
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,820
What is the zoning designation for the property?

90
00:12:23,020 --> 00:12:31,880
Any time there's a subdivision, the subdivision needs, but once, for instance, an example of sewer capacity or sewer is brought to the site, they're not eligible.

91
00:15:00,340 --> 00:15:08,940
They're not required to up zone unless they're seeking subdivision. At the time of subdivision, one they need to be compliant with the city's comprehensive plan.

92
00:15:11,940 --> 00:15:33,320
Tro, it's meant to foster change and really provide a framework for how and where change it. We then move up into the zoning map and zoning code. This meant it should be analyzed regularly to make sure that it's both consistent with their comprehensive plan as well as consistent with market forces related to development.

93
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:41,520
And those are the primary three, but there are a couple additional ones related to mostly

94
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:42,140
open space.

95
00:15:43,860 --> 00:15:49,580
But that's where we create ordinances, and we've got the most discretion.

96
00:15:52,400 --> 00:16:00,780
Moving to READY is acting as legislative or policymaking capacity and any rezoning or PUD moving

97
00:16:05,420 --> 00:16:06,980
up into the zoning code.

98
00:16:06,980 --> 00:16:13,840
That's what we use as really a nexus to analyze purple that or a site plan would be another one

99
00:16:15,260 --> 00:16:21,660
Generally speaking if it meets the standards that are within the city code the city shall approve

100
00:16:21,660 --> 00:16:24,820
This considered a quasi-judicial additional use permit

101
00:16:25,340 --> 00:16:29,720
Well, it's stated as a conditional use permit. I like to refrain it as a permitted use

102
00:16:30,260 --> 00:16:35,160
Then the city shall approve the the purposes of a conditional use permit it

103
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:42,400
But use may have increased impacts on surrounding properties and therefore require additional scrutiny through conditions.

104
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:50,060
That could be things like hours of operation, distance, buffering, screening, parking.

105
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,340
Specific performance standards outlined by the ordinance that the city can sum.

106
00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:00,680
We have a relatively high level discretion because an applicant is seeking a deviation from the city's, it's as requested,

107
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:05,260
said, walking through whether or not it's staff's opinion that those necessary findings

108
00:17:05,260 --> 00:17:06,080
have been achieved.

109
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,560
Again, this is a quasi-judicial decision.

110
00:17:11,850 --> 00:17:15,650
And this or a building permit for a new home, it's really at that point where we're taking

111
00:17:15,650 --> 00:17:21,670
what's already been reviewed or approved or height limitations, et cetera, and we're just applying

112
00:17:21,670 --> 00:17:23,970
It adds it exists and it's at least a moment of...

113
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:19,120
Discretion, after those plan reviews. And then finally, building permit, as discussed. So I wanted to just provide kind of how we work up and just where our levels of discretion are and how each of the elements that the city has put forward the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, locations are building permits.

114
00:20:22,630 --> 00:20:32,090
So meeting flow, the energy guide to rovers rules of order. So this is what the city uses for its comments. There are no additional comments.

115
00:20:32,090 --> 00:20:35,010
then the chair will call for a vote on that motion.

116
00:20:35,570 --> 00:20:37,850
In the end to amend that original motion,

117
00:20:38,010 --> 00:20:42,190
then the commissioner that originally made the motion,

118
00:20:43,050 --> 00:20:44,170
this is why staff is here.

119
00:20:44,270 --> 00:20:46,950
We will help you through that if it has not come up in my time with the city,

120
00:20:47,070 --> 00:20:47,930
but every now and again, it does.

121
00:20:49,050 --> 00:20:51,750
It's just so it's very clear what is on the table for voting.

122
00:20:51,910 --> 00:20:56,270
We will make sure that that's clear and understood before any vote takes place.

123
00:20:57,910 --> 00:21:00,250
In ministering of public hearings, you have won the comments.

124
00:21:00,250 --> 00:21:04,330
questions of staff or comments to be discussed amongst the Planning Commission.

125
00:21:04,970 --> 00:21:10,610
Once the Planning Commission has reached a point where at least their introductory questions

126
00:21:10,610 --> 00:21:14,890
or comments are satisfied and minutes to address the Planning Commission provide their

127
00:21:14,890 --> 00:21:15,350
feedback.

128
00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:20,670
Deering individuals early in terms of the public hearing and making sure everybody gets

129
00:21:20,670 --> 00:21:25,010
a chance to share their opinion before we get into it.

130
00:21:26,290 --> 00:21:26,490
Commissioner.

131
00:21:26,490 --> 00:21:30,270
Mr. Commissioner, this is a point of clarification on this because we often have a different

132
00:21:30,270 --> 00:21:30,490
way.

133
00:21:30,810 --> 00:21:36,150
Mr. Commissioner, so the applicant can do that during the public hearing but probably

134
00:21:36,150 --> 00:21:41,310
the cleaner way would be to invite the applicant up if they're in attendance to provide any

135
00:21:41,310 --> 00:21:41,950
feedback.

136
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:50,100
I'll go as they will come up during the public hearing but the goal is to generally have

137
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:56,000
them before that, usually right after the staff has made their presentation.

138
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,520
So it does make the flow much easier if you do it that way.

139
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,460
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

140
00:22:03,820 --> 00:22:09,560
And then with that, if there are any ever questions from the public, right,

141
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:17,190
that ultimately, as commissioners, you're discussing amongst users,

142
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,420
that makes it difficult to capture the meeting minutes for it.

143
00:22:20,740 --> 00:22:25,900
But it also just, it degrades high-level Roberts rules

144
00:22:25,900 --> 00:22:31,940
again, staff is here to help make sure that we're filing our decorum and proceeding accordingly.

145
00:22:34,810 --> 00:22:36,510
Something new from this past year,

146
00:22:39,420 --> 00:22:41,920
public hearings are new for a lot of people. This is

147
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:29,980
That is sometimes not the most, not the easiest place to stand up and say what you think. That's put out for public hearings, is to try and give those that are in attendance, if they've never been here before, a good understand, kind of their portion of the meeting to participate in. And then when they leave, what are additional ways to get additional information, get in touch with staff, and know what? So that way, if we don't have English speakers here, they've got a guide that can help them

148
00:25:29,980 --> 00:25:50,680
So with that we've got two brand new planning commissioners here this evening so I would encourage you to ask any questions of staff that you might have again we want this to be we really appreciate your stepping up to serve the community in this way and so we want this to be a positive experience for you so if you have questions please ask them of staff in that same goes for the rest of the planning commission so with that I'll pause.

149
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:51,460
So

150
00:25:54,240 --> 00:26:00,580
Eric, when in your process, the triangle that you showed, does staff come to the commission?

151
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,380
When do we see that after you've already reviewed things?

152
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:10,740
Yeah, Mr. Chair, commission following the city receiving an application, staff deeming

153
00:26:10,740 --> 00:26:11,780
that application complete.

154
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,760
So everything in our ordinances, it says they need to provide it, which that means we can

155
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,800
now do our review for review and recommendation.

156
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:20,640
Okay.

157
00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:21,200
Thank you.

158
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,940
Any other questions or comments about what Eric presented?

159
00:26:29,820 --> 00:26:40,180
By this handout in additional languages, what we also provide transliter services if someone does present with non-speaking English patterns or language skills.

160
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,300
Mr. Chair, commissioner, I will need to look into what options you have for a transfer at.

161
00:26:45,460 --> 00:26:47,420
Specifically at a meeting, is that the question?

162
00:26:47,540 --> 00:26:47,960
Yeah, because.

163
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,700
Well, I think with that we can move on to our one public hearing item.

164
00:26:53,700 --> 00:26:56,140
Sorry, Mr. Chair, one additional item.

165
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,840
The League of Minnesota City also offers a pretty cheap.

166
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:01,500
Great, thank you.

167
00:27:05,260 --> 00:27:10,360
All right, and then we'll propose ordinance amending chapters one in chapters 20 of the city

168
00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:12,280
code chapters live.

169
00:27:12,660 --> 00:27:17,140
Ultimately only the city council needs to approve a change to chapter one.

170
00:27:17,620 --> 00:27:21,740
That means, so tonight the discussion is regarding detached townhomes.

171
00:27:22,900 --> 00:27:28,640
Staff has proposed this definition based on consult with the city attorney so we would

172
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:33,580
have dwelling town has been separated into single dwelling units at the common side wall

173
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,860
typically with structured dimension of the side walls.

174
00:27:40,030 --> 00:27:42,010
So an example of where the city

175
00:27:42,010 --> 00:27:46,690
The Aviendas is within a planned unit development or a PUD master planned development.

176
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:11,940
Change for public benefit. So the reason why we have detached town homes already in the community even though we don't are obvious. But they are being used in this case as an example of what that looks like.

177
00:30:14,610 --> 00:30:30,910
So city staff has received interest in detached town homes in the possibilities that come with a traditional detached single family home. One such project currently under review, Pioneer Ridge. So we've made everybody aware that this is something that with that project came through.

178
00:30:30,910 --> 00:30:39,790
They have pivoted and offered to swap the northern portion of you and feedback coming out of that city council.

179
00:30:40,110 --> 00:30:46,130
You should pursue this amendment to make it at least an option that could be considered for this project.

180
00:30:46,630 --> 00:30:54,450
That being said, it is not good policy for a city to enact new city code for any one particular development.

181
00:30:54,450 --> 00:30:57,910
However, it is not staff's opinion that that is the case here.

182
00:30:58,490 --> 00:31:01,450
And that is because we have seen this product in the community of four.

183
00:31:01,930 --> 00:31:06,270
We have seen interest in this product before, and we are now reacting to a broad evening.

184
00:31:06,610 --> 00:31:13,390
So here's an example from Avienda showing the front at the top here, the detatch, same

185
00:31:13,390 --> 00:31:17,170
as in the home, but with all the common area maintenance that you would typically see with

186
00:31:17,170 --> 00:31:18,050
a town-home product.

187
00:31:18,730 --> 00:31:20,510
I'm going to switch to my laser pointer here.

188
00:31:20,510 --> 00:31:26,770
And again, this is all based on the addition of tuner-d to just clarify in some places that multiple family

189
00:31:26,770 --> 00:31:32,670
in other cases, multi-family, we want consistency, so we're having consistency based on the definition of multi-family.

190
00:31:33,290 --> 00:31:42,430
So each of those three types, an average of 5,445 square feet per dwelling unit, with respect to minimum lot frontage,

191
00:31:42,870 --> 00:31:47,910
adding detached townhouses to the same section that currently applies to townhouses and multi-family,

192
00:31:49,170 --> 00:32:02,670
With minimum lot depth, again adding detached townhouse to the second-day family dwelling and providing additional clarity language that that lot cover is specific to the total big building as a multi-family and then there's a broader lot.

193
00:32:02,990 --> 00:32:08,990
You've got smaller lots that are specifically to 50% maximum lot cover building

194
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:19,080
setbacks in looking at this and other past ordinances increased to 30 feet.

195
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,880
And then for side yards of townhouses for multifamily dwellings, 10 feet, again, we're

196
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:29,760
no common walls located, and then for side yards of detached town homes, five feet on

197
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,800
the garage side and 10 feet on the house side with a minimum separation between structures

198
00:32:34,580 --> 00:32:38,360
being 15 feet and that for detached housing product.

199
00:32:39,140 --> 00:32:42,680
No proposed changes for maximum height 15 feet.

200
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:52,920
Eric I do have a question on for the front yard setback it's moving from 25 to 20 in the rear yard

201
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:53,960
is going from 25 to 30.

202
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:20,280
30. So there's still 50 feet in total. What is kind of the logic is a relay property lane? We want to make sure there's acceptable distance for vehicles wanting to park in the driveway that don't hang out over a sidewalk if one exists or venturing to a street. Over and above that 20 foot setback for a building.

203
00:35:22,370 --> 00:35:31,230
Staff's opinion is that it reduced setback in the front to 20 feet still allows for ample space for a vehicle to be parked. In front of instance, between the

204
00:35:31,230 --> 00:35:33,830
the rear building setback of one lot to a rear building

205
00:35:33,830 --> 00:35:35,970
setback of another, but still mean.

206
00:35:36,010 --> 00:35:38,730
That go out to, I mean, I mean,

207
00:35:39,170 --> 00:35:41,090
how does a, there's a sidewalk in play?

208
00:35:41,210 --> 00:35:43,730
How does that come into the measurement?

209
00:35:44,390 --> 00:35:47,690
And the reason why I asked is, I mean, I look at 20 feet,

210
00:35:47,750 --> 00:35:49,130
and I drive a very large vehicle.

211
00:35:49,130 --> 00:35:52,810
I'm like, I don't even know that my truck would fit in 20 feet.

212
00:35:52,890 --> 00:35:56,570
It's be close that lays out in the various scenarios

213
00:35:56,570 --> 00:35:59,030
that could be associated with some of these projects.

214
00:35:59,030 --> 00:36:02,290
Yeah, certainly the edge of the yard is 20 feet.

215
00:36:02,930 --> 00:36:07,570
Now this is a site plan taken directly from the Ivy line is actually right there.

216
00:36:07,810 --> 00:36:11,490
They've got about 10 feet technically, I think it's seven and a half feet.

217
00:36:12,150 --> 00:36:17,290
From their building set back to their property line, but then additional space out to what

218
00:36:17,290 --> 00:36:20,350
is the edge of the out lot that is maintained by the H away.

219
00:36:21,230 --> 00:36:24,690
And then we get into either public or private right of way.

220
00:36:24,690 --> 00:36:29,650
and that's simply again where you've got about 14 feet from the edge of the

221
00:36:29,650 --> 00:36:34,930
property line to the back of curb. And so while this doesn't have a sidewalk, if

222
00:36:34,930 --> 00:36:39,130
there was a sidewalk, in this case, at least from townhomes from the building to

223
00:36:39,130 --> 00:36:44,690
the back of curb was 36 feet. And so for those reason staff is comfortable in

224
00:36:44,690 --> 00:36:49,950
proposing a 20-foot setback to the prop ending if it's a private road or a city

225
00:36:49,950 --> 00:36:54,350
road. And so there's always additional room within that right of way that is

226
00:36:54,350 --> 00:36:59,530
is used by driveway and would be available for parking if needed.

227
00:37:00,170 --> 00:37:03,350
Do we need to be more prescriptive?

228
00:37:03,750 --> 00:37:07,810
It says for front yard's 20 feet, but it doesn't say what you just said.

229
00:37:07,930 --> 00:37:11,690
It doesn't say it's 20 feet to the property line.

230
00:37:11,950 --> 00:37:14,370
We had the same element of wanting to make sure it was very clear in that.

231
00:37:14,810 --> 00:37:18,010
So under E, you should read the setbacks RS file.

232
00:37:18,570 --> 00:37:18,890
Thank you.

233
00:37:20,810 --> 00:37:22,630
Mr. Chair, I have a question as well.

234
00:37:22,630 --> 00:37:28,630
Well, if we're doing only in the back, set back, but why not on the two family dwellings as well?

235
00:37:29,290 --> 00:37:33,110
Yeah, Mr. Chair, Commissioner, staff is open to that.

236
00:37:33,490 --> 00:37:37,950
That being said, we saw those two family dwellings operating more so, it's a duplex.

237
00:37:38,710 --> 00:37:43,710
And in trying to establish between a two family and a single, true single family in terms

238
00:37:43,710 --> 00:37:45,690
of what that set back could look like.

239
00:37:45,870 --> 00:37:49,650
And as we move down the list, you're from single family dwelling to two family dwelling to

240
00:37:49,650 --> 00:37:53,890
detached town home town home and multi-family we're getting more dense and

241
00:37:53,890 --> 00:37:55,750
sometimes it's getting greater right

242
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:03,240
continuing on this conversation just

243
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:05,800
single-family dwelling in the rear

244
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:29,420
Mr. Commissioners, so within this district, and based on feedback, they were received on past projects. It's typically the feedback we get is the rear setback is in theaters, not a great distance, but over potentially larger platter area. It's the impact six months from now. What plan is going to come before us, where somebody is impacted by this. I mean, so if somebody is now trying to

245
00:40:29,420 --> 00:40:39,260
to further back and gets into this, which is now 30 feet instead of in the past, they could have had an extra five feet on that deck.

246
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,160
I mean, they're going to be precluded from that project now, right?

247
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:49,560
And they'll probably think, well, maybe I'll apply for a variance, but probably there's not going to be a whole lot who's got a structure already.

248
00:40:50,780 --> 00:40:54,620
So, Mr. Chair, Commissioner, so this ordinance proposed

249
00:40:54,620 --> 00:40:58,640
those specific for the residential, low, medium, or RLM zoning district.

250
00:40:58,780 --> 00:41:05,360
So, it would not impact that being said, we don't have any vacant lots currently zoned

251
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:10,240
RLM that are awaiting to be built, and this only applies to the principal structure.

252
00:41:10,460 --> 00:41:15,420
If somebody wanted to make improvements because of that additional principal structure set

253
00:41:15,420 --> 00:41:20,560
back if there is an existing why that being said in staff's review of this

254
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:26,060
typically the rear it's up back well exceeds 25 years ago in RLM or in general

255
00:41:26,060 --> 00:41:34,520
with single single family dwellings. Mr. Commissioner specific okay is the

256
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:39,300
detached townhome category is that something that other cities have defined as

257
00:41:39,300 --> 00:41:44,000
well and did you look at communities requirements for detached homes.

258
00:41:51,660 --> 00:41:56,880
I just have something quick, get these go through a round of proofreading before they

259
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,840
get finalized, or it means that's something we should point out in the future, or worry

260
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:00,980
about.

261
00:42:01,460 --> 00:42:05,200
Mr. Commissioner, yes, staff reviews it along with our city clerk before it gets formally

262
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:05,520
published.

263
00:42:09,730 --> 00:42:10,350
Mr. Chair.

264
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,000
Attached structure. Are any of the other dwelling types defined specifically to this degree in section one of the city code? Or is this one going to be the only one kind of defined? I guess that's my dwelling is defined currently today. Yeah, and shame on me for not reading those definitions, but I looked at this though, right? I was just wondering if this significant sufficiently

265
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:41,740
the RLM but that's specifically a frame that the attorney would have looked at this through right that this definition also is said that they're comfortable with this that makes sense to me then but just just something I wanted to.

266
00:45:46,500 --> 00:45:48,500
Any other things that you need to present?

267
00:45:49,180 --> 00:45:51,520
Mr. Chair, I know that concludes that presentation.

268
00:45:53,260 --> 00:45:57,100
Any other comments or questions from planning commission?

269
00:46:00,420 --> 00:46:02,080
I did just have a question.

270
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:09,160
Was there, historically, was there a reason why we didn't have a car bought for this?

271
00:46:10,380 --> 00:46:14,020
Was it just something that hadn't been brought to us the reason why the city didn't want

272
00:46:14,020 --> 00:46:16,220
to have, or support the data found out?

273
00:46:16,780 --> 00:46:22,040
I'm sure commissioners are looking for housing that may not have the same maintenance responsibilities

274
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,540
that more traditional housing may, or would require.

275
00:46:30,060 --> 00:46:42,020
Before I open the public hearing portion of this item, just a reminder if you do want to come forward, come to the mic and please state your name and address for the record and with that, I will open.

276
00:46:42,020 --> 00:46:50,560
areas. And I think it absolutely makes sense for a new development, the 30-foot setback.

277
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:57,880
It makes sense when it's a development that's in a different zone, zoning of low-density

278
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:03,460
housing, that there should be, according to your comprehensive plan, increase setback

279
00:47:03,460 --> 00:47:10,980
for two different zones that butt up next to each other. So I understand that this variance

280
00:47:10,980 --> 00:47:17,980
makes sense for within an RLM, but when an RLM connects with a low density house,

281
00:47:17,980 --> 00:47:24,000
if it's behind my house where Pioneer Ridge is going in, if there's a third-

282
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:23,860
So there needs to be some consideration, I think, for when two zones are put together, that this is not just a cut and dry variance. There needs to be consideration.

283
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,920
Mr. Chair, if I could. Just for a minor focus sense, let me make sure it's clear.

284
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,880
So the discussion tonight in the public hearing tonight is specifically

285
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,660
considering adopting lot requirements and standards for detached

286
00:50:39,660 --> 00:50:43,100
townhomes within the residential low-medium zoning district.

287
00:50:43,420 --> 00:50:47,960
We've provided an update to the Pioneer Ridge project that depends

288
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:52,380
on homes as an allowed dwelling type and a lot requirements for those.

289
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:57,720
There is the potential commission this evening and I also recognize that this is

290
00:50:57,720 --> 00:51:00,980
is a complicated and into a complicated one,

291
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:02,420
but if anybody has any specific questions,

292
00:51:02,540 --> 00:51:05,880
I'm more than happy to discuss with planning commissioners

293
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:07,160
looking for the planning question.

294
00:51:07,660 --> 00:51:07,840
Thank you.

295
00:51:08,260 --> 00:51:08,440
Thanks.

296
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:13,900
To Laredo Drive and Chan Hasen.

297
00:51:14,540 --> 00:51:18,380
I think I misread the agenda.

298
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,280
I thought this was just a discussion,

299
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,500
and there weren't going to be any ordinance changes.

300
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,580
So proposed tonight, perhaps I'm really off base.

301
00:51:30,540 --> 00:51:32,520
because of particular developments.

302
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,560
And I think that the amount of the space to date,

303
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,480
and I hate seeing changes come through

304
00:51:40,260 --> 00:51:42,020
because of proposed developments

305
00:51:42,780 --> 00:51:44,440
that they should stand on their loan

306
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:46,020
with the way the code was,

307
00:51:46,420 --> 00:51:51,060
or apply for a reasonable, reasonable things like,

308
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,320
it does not impact my neighbor.

309
00:51:53,900 --> 00:51:55,360
Our code is served as well.

310
00:51:56,460 --> 00:51:58,340
You've all applied variances,

311
00:55:00,180 --> 00:55:30,160
I understand why you have to ask, but I'm not going to risk it. You never want to go through it. It continues forever. Back to my points. A lot of us have moved here from different places, which are issue an ordinance change. It has a domino effect on people who have houses near, but I want to share with you one thought. And I shared it with the city council. It really good. So I'm just asking you to consider that when you look at all these different changes that are being brought forth

312
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:35,000
to you and because if there's a city that does it next door, I don't know if we want to be Eden

313
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:35,980
Prairie West.

314
00:55:36,140 --> 00:55:41,800
You are making will impact what that future will be and there'll be people who have said

315
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:42,220
not.

316
00:55:44,330 --> 00:55:45,010
Thank you.

317
00:55:45,270 --> 00:55:45,650
Thank you.

318
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:49,080
Comments?

319
00:55:49,720 --> 00:55:50,240
Questions?

320
00:55:53,860 --> 00:56:00,000
This is within the scope of what we're discussing tonight but I am curious since the comprehensive

321
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:06,660
plan does prescribe smooth, I don't know what the right language is but it essentially

322
00:56:06,660 --> 00:56:11,260
probably prescribes smooth transitions between different sorts of zones of density.

323
00:56:12,460 --> 00:56:20,180
I don't know that that is actually applied in code, question is if we want to start thinking

324
00:56:20,180 --> 00:56:25,340
about should that be applied in code and how would it be of don't think it probably belongs

325
00:56:25,340 --> 00:56:29,800
in what we're talking about tonight, the sections we're looking at, but I'm asking for your

326
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:31,760
opinion and advice from staff on that.

327
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:37,460
Mr. Commissioners, the city code currently does have, and so that is in effect today.

328
00:56:37,720 --> 00:56:43,100
It's required of projects when we've got it's a chart and it has the hard types based

329
00:56:43,100 --> 00:56:51,800
on its adjacency, the least similar the two adjacencies up similar or like land use designations

330
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:52,940
next to one another.

331
00:56:53,220 --> 00:57:01,740
So the example we try to avoid that for many reasons, but if it were to exist, we've got

332
00:57:01,740 --> 00:57:07,540
is a little bit of a unicorn. We allow for residential low medium and land guided for low density

333
00:57:07,540 --> 00:57:12,160
residential. We also allow residential low medium and land guided for medium density. It did

334
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:18,000
be very similar a little bit more. And so there is still that requirement. So it's even...

335
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,460
Is different than that buffering requirement applies?

336
01:00:14,270 --> 01:00:38,630
You know, one of the comment I would make. We're not changing the long-term plan here tonight. We're not going, hey, we're increasing densities. And all we're doing is really looking at another option as far as a type of housing that could happen within this particular is been put together.

337
01:00:38,630 --> 01:00:40,790
and making drastic changes to it.

338
01:00:41,270 --> 01:00:42,530
That's not what this is doing tonight.

339
01:00:43,070 --> 01:00:46,650
I think this is really just providing another option

340
01:00:47,010 --> 01:00:49,610
and that options be people that are trying

341
01:00:49,610 --> 01:00:53,450
to maintain lifestyle in the community.

342
01:00:54,030 --> 01:00:55,310
It's a personal example.

343
01:00:55,810 --> 01:00:59,270
My brother lives in Olderwood in the city of Chaska.

344
01:00:59,690 --> 01:01:04,130
And that's a Dell web detached single town homes on a pad.

345
01:01:04,950 --> 01:01:07,330
And the nut and what we're reviewing

346
01:01:07,330 --> 01:01:08,610
going to recommend to the city.

347
01:01:09,230 --> 01:01:12,290
I also read property at a tattoo.

348
01:01:13,070 --> 01:01:16,770
And those spaces in between those houses are like 10 feet.

349
01:01:17,050 --> 01:01:20,770
So it's not only a Minnesota area, but also in California.

350
01:01:21,150 --> 01:01:23,150
So I like the idea.

351
01:01:23,330 --> 01:01:24,470
I'm an older man myself.

352
01:01:25,130 --> 01:01:28,010
I have downsized with my wife into a town home.

353
01:01:28,310 --> 01:01:30,870
And I don't have to do a lot of maintenance.

354
01:01:31,010 --> 01:01:31,830
I really like that.

355
01:01:32,190 --> 01:01:36,210
And that freed up selling a house that a young like

356
01:01:36,210 --> 01:01:42,070
Make the clarifications and some of the small minor changes we've done to the city code.

357
01:01:43,030 --> 01:01:44,310
Thank you.

358
01:01:51,100 --> 01:01:54,820
With that, anybody want to put forth a motion?

359
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:56,740
I can make a motion.

360
01:01:57,420 --> 01:02:01,780
A motion to recommend approval of the ordinance in amending chapter 20.

361
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:08,760
Amending lot requirements and setbacks for the residential low and medium density district.

362
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,440
We have a valid motion, do I have a second?

363
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:13,680
A second.

364
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:15,120
We have a second.

365
01:02:15,740 --> 01:02:17,500
All in favor of the motion?

366
01:02:17,780 --> 01:02:18,100
Say it.

367
01:02:26,170 --> 01:02:31,950
With that, I think the next agenda item is the meeting minutes or edits to those meeting minutes.

368
01:02:33,470 --> 01:02:36,890
If not, can I get a 2025?

369
01:02:37,750 --> 01:02:38,530
We have a valid motion.

370
01:02:38,850 --> 01:02:39,310
We have a second.

371
01:02:39,810 --> 01:02:40,370
Second.

372
01:02:40,830 --> 01:02:41,130
Second.

373
01:02:41,470 --> 01:02:41,950
All in.

374
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:10,760
Chair, if I could offer, so commissioners, Grover and Olmsted, we're not here with us, and then that commission is Olmsted and Grover abstain from this vote. Thank you for the clarification.

375
01:05:11,220 --> 01:05:21,240
I'll second. March 18, 2025, Chanasson Planning Commission meeting minutes, say aye, aye, the motion passes 5-0.

376
01:05:25,500 --> 01:05:31,560
Community development director Moss, do you have any other administrative or other updates for the planning commission?

377
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:38,080
Yeah, commission. So the city received application on Friday for the Santa

378
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:41,820
Vera apartment project phase two. So that'll come before the

379
01:05:41,820 --> 01:05:46,200
plan side. There's currently an existing 18 unit apartment building at the

380
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:50,040
corner of Santa Vera and the radio. So that'll come before you. We also received

381
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:55,120
application for the apartment project at Avienda. That's still under staff review

382
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:58,560
for completeness. So that may come before the planning commission in May. However,

383
01:05:58,660 --> 01:06:01,420
we're still working through that middle. The West Building, which was referred

384
01:06:01,420 --> 01:06:05,680
to as the Bennett. We're still working through that, they're working, I've got a couple.

385
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:06,920
Okay,

386
01:06:09,140 --> 01:06:14,560
one question. On the Santa Vera project, this is do it like here or if there's a way to inform

387
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:19,800
the commission. Certainly two of our commissioners weren't here then it may have been more depending

388
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:24,880
on when that happened. I just can't recall now what the date was when we last looked at that project,

389
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:30,460
but there is a lot of input, a lot of public activity. I'm just wondering if there's any way to kind

390
01:06:30,460 --> 01:06:45,320
We're going to get a refresher on what we already did versus what's still ahead may site that came through for staff review ultimately that project never went forward it was a mixture of now being proposed is just the apartment building.

391
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:54,440
So the current beauty that's in place allows for an apartment building by right that's permitted use it explicitly does not allow for the amendment.

392
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:59,920
And as I mentioned with our pyramid of discretion, the city would have a lot of discretion already

393
01:06:59,920 --> 01:07:06,580
by a prior staff report from Bob Generous with the planter at that time for them, just

394
01:07:06,580 --> 01:07:08,900
as some additional background information.

395
01:07:09,340 --> 01:07:13,820
However, the current project is a different piece, part of the submittal for staff review

396
01:07:13,820 --> 01:07:15,360
and ultimately planning commission and council review.

397
01:07:16,180 --> 01:07:24,140
But yeah, I can pull together a plan approval or will there be any, what was it, PUD amendment

398
01:07:24,140 --> 01:07:26,220
requests are variant like anything like that?

399
01:07:26,500 --> 01:07:29,020
Mr. Commissioner, so they would be coming for a site plan approval.

400
01:07:29,540 --> 01:07:33,500
The site plan, the density is established by the lot area.

401
01:07:35,810 --> 01:07:37,810
So in this case, it would not be a subdivision.

402
01:07:37,870 --> 01:07:41,090
It would be a preliminary platter, a final platter, it would just be that site plan review.

403
01:07:41,090 --> 01:07:41,110
Thank you.

404
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:35,180
I mean, I don't believe so, but if the commissioners have any questions on things they're seeing around, around the city, I'd be happy to. One reminder, we are having you gathering tomorrow, 430, left, but we'd also like to welcome you guys if you are interested in attending. No business of the planning commission will be discussed. It will be duly noted on the tack board, those that are coming on board. And no business of the planning commission will

405
01:10:35,180 --> 01:10:35,560
We'll be discussed.

406
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:40,180
And if you're interested, Jean Larkin from the twins fame

407
01:10:40,180 --> 01:10:42,000
will be there citing autographs.

408
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:45,220
If you want to meet a former World Series champion

409
01:10:45,220 --> 01:10:45,760
from the twins.

410
01:10:48,790 --> 01:10:50,270
I move to adjourn the meeting.

411
01:10:50,770 --> 01:10:52,150
We have a valid motion.

412
01:10:52,430 --> 01:10:53,230
Do I have a second?

413
01:10:53,950 --> 01:10:55,050
Should pass the 7-0?
