Staff Report – Planner Davis McKeown presented the staff report. ii. Public Hearing – Chair Jacobs opened the public hearing. Paul Otto, a representative of the applicant, introduced himself to the Commission stating the applicant’s concerns regarding the staff recommended park dedication of the flood plain in addition to the trail easement as well as design and stormwater requirements for the future extension of Garden Lane listed in the engineering memo. Mike Savitski, 10322 Hage Drive, explained concerns with existing drainage conditions. Stated his overall support to bring in more neighbors to the area. Stacy Maroushek and Jay Brown, 22355 Oakdale Drive, stated their concerns with how the proposed single-family home neighborhood may interfere with their property improvements, including wetland restoration, grassland restoration, and a riparian forest buffer along the shared property line with the proposed plat. They stated concerns with the placement of proposed septic systems near their shared property line and within an area that occasionally floods as well as allowing this development in a rural area without municipal sewer and water services. Also mentioned was the potential impact to the health of the waterway of Rush Creek. Dean Vehrenkamp, 9310 Bechtold Road, stated general support for the landowner and responsible land development. Donavon DesMarais, one of the applicants, introduced himself to the Commission and stated his intention to work with the existing neighborhood while working within the confines of the land use plan envisioned for this site. They explained they are open to discussing the placement of the septic systems in relation to the wetlands on the northern portion of the site. Phillip Kothrade, one of the applicants, reiterated they want to address any drainage issues and agrees the septic site locations can be moved. He reiterated their concerns about the park dedication of the flood plain area west of the creek stating that a large easement will severely impact one of the proposed lots. Diane Nelosn, 10206 Bechtold Road, asked how this development would impact their taxes. She also asked if Bechtold Road would be paved as part of this project. iii. Close Hearing.

Meeting adjourned at 10:22 PM. Submitted by Natalie Davis Planner Page 1 of 5 STAFF REPORT Agenda Item 7a. Planning Commission Meeting: December 2, 2021 Prepared By: Natalie Davis Topic: Magnan Acres (PID 09-119-23-44-0017; 16-119-23-11- 0002; 16-119-23-11-0001) (City File No. 21-046) Action Required: Recommendation for City Council Review Deadline: February 16, 2022 1. Application Request The applicants, Brandon and Chelsea Magnan, request approval of the preliminary plat “Magnan Acres,” which creates two buildable lots where there are currently two buildable lots and one unbuildable outlot. 2. Background The applicants own Outlot A of Outcalt 2nd Addition which currently does not have any development rights to allow construction of a home. The City of Corcoran only allows for the movement of a development right within a plat that includes an adjoining property that has an available development right. The applicant has worked with the adjacent property owners to the southeast who own 9247 Trail Haven Road and 9257 Tail Haven Road, both of which have the right to construct a home. These two buildable lots are under the same ownership, and only one house was built located at 9247 Trail Haven Rd. The property owner has no intention of using the development right to build a home on 9257 Tail Haven Road, adjacent to Outlot A, and has agreed to sell the development right to the Magnans. The preliminary plat for “Magnan” Acres will consolidate 9247 and 9257 Trail Haven Rd into a single lot, removing the interior lot line currently separating these two parcels. The existing structures will remain, and no improvements are proposed. The property lines of Outlot A will remain the same, but the preliminary plat will result in the legal description of the outlot being updated to a lot of record indicating the right to build. This will allow the Magnans to build a new single-family home on the newly created “lot”, but no further subdivision can occur in the vicinity. 3. Context Zoning and Land Use All three parcels are located in the Rural Residential (RR) zoning district, and the Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Rural/Ag Residential. The properties are not located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). Page 2 of 5 Surrounding Properties All surrounding properties are located within the RR district, designated as Rural/Ag Residential, and outside of the MUSA. Present land use on all surrounding properties located on the west side of Trail Haven Rd is single family residential and agricultural use is located on the east side of Tail Haven Rd. Natural Characteristics of the Site Trees exist throughout the site. The Comprehensive Plan Natural Resource Inventory map identifies a disturbed woodland on the southern property line of Outlot A and the entirety of 9247 and 9257 Trail Haven Rd. The Comprehensive Plan Ecologically Significant Natural Areas map identifies the woodland as maple-basswood forest. Hennepin County Natural Resources Map identifies probable and potential wetlands on Outlot A and 9257 Trail Haven Road. 4. Analysis Staff reviewed the application for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and City Code requirements, as well as City policies. The City Engineer’s comments are incorporated into this staff report, the detailed comments are included in the attached engineering memo and the approval conditions require compliance with the memo. A. Level of City Discretion in Decision-Making The City’s discretion in approving a preliminary plat is limited to whether the proposed plat meets the standards outlined in the City’s subdivision and zoning ordinance. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the preliminary plat. The Planning Commission may choose to discuss whether they agree with staff’s analysis that the preliminary plat is consistent with ordinance standards. Should the Commission find that the preliminary plat does not comply with the City’s ordinance standards, conditions for preliminary approval can be recommended by the Commission. B. Consistency with Ordinance Standards Lot Size The applicant’s proposal will consolidate three parcels into two lots. Both resulting lots comply with the RR district standards. A comparison of the RR district standards and the proposed lots is reflected in the table below: RR District Standard Lot 1 (Existing Outlot A) Lot 2 (Existing Home) Minimum lot area 2 acres 10.4 acres 3.5 acres Minimum lot width 200 feet 600.65 feet 373.18 feet Minimum lot depth 300 feet 678 feet 410 feet Page 3 of 5 Setbacks The minimum setbacks for the RR district are detailed in the table below: Minimum Principal Structure Setback Minimum Accessory Structure Setback Front 50 feet 50 feet Side 25 feet 20 feet Rear 25 feet 15 feet The proposed home and anticipated accessory structure on proposed Lot 1 are shown to exceed all minimum setback requirements in the RR district. The existing home on proposed Lot 2 complies with all setback requirements for principal structures. The garage and southern shed also comply with all setback requirements for accessory structures. There is an existing shed located on the northwest quadrant of Lot 2 that partly complies with the 15’ rear yard setback for accessory structures, but the southwest corner of the shed measures only 11.9’ from the rear property line. However, aerial views of the property on Hennepin County’s Property Interactive Map appear to confirm this structure predates the establishment of the City Code in 2004. Staff believes this to be a nonconforming building and does not propose that the property owner be required to bring the structure into compliance with the current standard. Streets/Access Most homes within the Outcalt development access their home via a private drive that provides access to Trail Haven Rd. This private drive is adjacent to the north property line of proposed Lot 1. However, the existing private driveway agreement states that all existing parties to the agreement must agree to add any additional parties. At least one party declined to expand the agreement to include the applicant. The preliminary plat shows proposed driveway access for Lot 1 directly on to Trail Haven Rd at the northeast corner of the parcel. An additional driveway was already anticipated at 9257 Trail Haven Rd, and Public Works did not have a concern with moving this access point to the north now that 9257 Trail Haven Rd will be consolidated with 9247 Trail Haven Rd. The existing access for 9247 Trail Haven Rd is not proposed to change. Public Works preliminary reviewed the location of the proposed driveway for Lot 1 and generally agrees with the proposed placement. It would not be ideal to move the driveway further to the south as the proposed driveway is located at a high point of a hill, and the proposed location allows for the best sight lines possible. Additionally, the proposed placement of this driveway will better accommodate future road improvements at the intersection of Trail Haven Rd and 93rd Ave N. The applicant will need to determine if a culvert is necessary for the proposed driveway. Further review by Public Works for final approval will be completed with the submittal of a driveway permit. Page 4 of 5 Well and Septic Proposed Lot 1 will be served by private well and septic, and proposed Lot 2 has an existing septic system and well. The applicant obtained preliminary approval of the proposed primary and alternate septic locations for Lot 1 from Hennepin County Public Health Department. Wetlands A wetland delineation report was submitted with the determination that there are no wetlands on proposed Lot 1. The City, as the wetland LGU, confirmed agreement with these findings, and a No Wetland Determination was approved on November 19, 2021. The wetland delineation did not include proposed Lot 2. However, no improvements are intended on proposed Lot 2 at this time. Staff has included a condition for approval that requires the applicant to apply for approval of a wetland delineation waiver or have a wetland delineation completed on 9247 and 9257 Trail Haven Rd prior to submittal of the final plat. Assuming a wetland waiver is granted by City Council or a No Wetland Determination is approved on proposed Lot 2; no further action would be required of the applicant. If a wetland delineation finds wetlands, buffer and setback requirements will need to be applied based on the determined wetland quality. Additionally, a revised plan would be required to show the wetland buffer monuments that need to be installed prior to release of the escrow. Staff has included a condition that requires the applicant to comply with these standards as applicable. Park Dedication Section 955.020 of the Subdivision Ordinance states, “Park Dedication is only due in cases where additional new parcels are created.” The preliminary plat proposes to create two lots where three currently exist. Because no new parcels are created by the preliminary plat, Park Dedication will not be required. Landscaping The applicants’ plan indicates that no significant trees will be removed. No additional landscaping is required to meet the City’s minimum landscaping requirements. Drainage and Utility Easements Proposed Lot 1 shows a new drainage and utility easement (D&U) of 10’ along Trail Haven Rd, and 5’ along the remaining property lines. The final plat for Westwood Gardens Addition shows that there is a 10’ D&U along the north property line of 9257 Trail Haven Rd and a 5’ D&U along the west property lines of 9247 and 9257 Trail Haven Rd. These existing easements will remain in place for proposed Lot 2. The proposed preliminary plat also indicates a new 5’ D&U along the southern property line and a 10’ D&U along the east property line for proposed Lot 2. If wetlands are found on Page 5 of 5 proposed Lot 2, a D&U over the wetland and wetland buffer will be required as a condition of approval for the preliminary plat. House Plans Section 1030.030 of the Zoning Ordinance requires single-family detached homes be placed on a permanent foundation, have a minimum floor area of 1,100 square feet, and a minimum width of 24 feet. The applicants submitted preliminary house plans for a walk-out basement, single-family home (attached to this report). The plans conform to or exceed these minimum requirements. A walk-out basement appears to make sense with the existing grade of the proposed location of the house pad. The northern corner of the house is located at an elevation of roughly 994 feet, and the plans indicate the southern corner of the house and lowest floor elevation are at roughly 986 feet. The provided front elevation appears to show use of vinyl siding with asphalt shingles, both of which satisfy the residential district standards required in Section 1060.050 of the Zoning Ordinance. The house plans and grading plans will be further reviewed for final approval with the submittal of a building permit. Summary Staff find that the proposed preliminary plat is generally consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision Ordinance, and Zoning Ordinance. The draft resolution approves the preliminary with conditions attached to address the requirement of a wetland delineation on proposed Lot 2. 5.

Planning Commission Meeting: December 2, 2021 Prepared By: Natalie Davis Topic: Conditional Uses in Residential Zoning Districts (City File No. 21-034) Action Required: Recommendation for City Council Review Deadline: N/A 1. Request: Since May of this year, there has been regular discussion at public meetings regarding the best way to regulate conditional uses in urban residential zoning districts within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The Planning Commission is asked to hold another Public Hearing and provide a recommendation on the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment adding performance standards for educational facilities and Places of Worship within urban residential zoning districts. 2. Background: The idea of creating performance standards for assembly uses within residential districts was first discussed with the City Council on October 15, 2020. The City Council continued to discuss regulation options of assembly uses on May 13, 2021; June 24, 2021; and July 22, 2021. The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on September 2, 2021, to provide City Council with a recommendation based on two potential regulation options: Option 1 removed conditional uses in most urban residential districts and Option 2 added performance standards to places of worship and schools within urban residential districts. After initial discussion, the item was tabled to the October meeting in order to provide the Commission with additional requested information. At the October 12, 2021 meeting, staff provided resources to further inform discussion of the proposed performance standards, and the Commission had a detailed discussion with the City Attorney. The Commission unanimously recommended “Option 2” to the City Council. At the October 28, 2021 meeting, City Council unanimously moved to proceed with a Zoning Ordinance Amendment based on Option 2, and the item is going back to the Planning Commission to hold a Public Hearing on the draft language and make any additional recommendations. 3. Analysis: The Planning Commission discussion on October 7th included: adding a “safe harbor” provision to provide another layer of protection from legal action under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), adding more detail to the landscaping zone standard, and not allowing flexibility from County Road setbacks currently provided for other uses under the City Code. All of these items have been factored in to the currently proposed Zoning Page 2 of 7 Ordinance Amendment. The “safe harbor” provision added to the draft ordinance is a strategy to avoid RLUIPA related lawsuits. RLUIPA provides cities with broad authority to exempt religious land uses from policies or practices found to create a substantial burden in violation of RLUIPA. If a RLUIPA suit is filed after a denial or approval with conditions, the City can use the provision to reopen the public hearing, inform the applicant of an allowable site design, or review the application again. While the City has this authority under federal statute without specifically including a “safe harbor” clause in the City Code, there is argument in favor of adding the provision verbatim within the Zoning Ordinance as a best practice. Per the direction of the Planning Commission, staff researched examples of ways to add more detail to the landscaping zone standard. Four examples from other cities are included as an attachment to this report. Staff believes the current recommendation in the draft ordinance improves upon the previously vague concept of a “landscaping zone” while still allowing flexibility in implementation based on the constraints of individual sites. Below is a summary of the current performance standards proposed by staff to be added in all of the urban residential districts for educational facilities and Places of Worship allowed by Conditional Use Permit (CUP): RSF-1, RSF-2, RSF-3, RMF-1, RMF-2, and RMF-3. These standards are based on a survey of several other cities in addition to a draft prepared by Mayor McKee earlier this year as well as the feedback from the Planning Commission. 1. Setbacks a. A minimum 50-foot setback from all property lines is required for all structures, parking spaces, drive aisles, and loading areas. The setback on all property lines will increase up to 200-feet based on the building footprint as described below: Building Footprint Square Footage Minimum Setback Building Footprint Square Footage Minimum Setback Building Footprint Square Footage Minimum Setback Up to 15,000 50 feet 25,001 – 26,000 105 feet 36,001 – 37,000 160 feet 15,001 – 16,000 55 feet 26,001 – 27,000 110 feet 37,001 – 38,000 165 feet 16,001 – 17,000 60 feet 27,001 – 28,000 115 feet 38,001 – 39,000 170 feet 17,001 – 18,000 65 feet 28,001 – 29,000 120 feet 39,001 – 40,000 175 feet 18,001 – 19,000 70 feet 29,001 – 30,000 125 feet 40,001 – 41,000 180 feet 19,001 – 20,000 75 feet 30,001 – 31,000 130 feet 41,001 – 42,000 185 feet 20,001 – 21,000 80 feet 31,001 – 32,000 135 feet 42,001 – 43,000 190 feet 21,001 – 22,000 85 feet 32,001 – 33,000 140 feet 43,001 – 44,000 195 feet 22,001 – 23,000 90 feet 33,001 – 34,000 145 feet At or above 44,001 200 feet 23,001 – 24,000 95 feet 34,001 – 35,000 150 feet 24,001 – 25,000 100 feet 35,001 – 36,000 155 feet b. Any property lines fronting a county road shall require a minimum setback of 100 feet when the building footprint is 24,000 square feet or less. Page 3 of 7 c. Educational facilities and Places of Worship are not eligible for building and parking setback flexibility through additional landscaping as provided in Section 1060.070, Subd. 2., (K) – (J). 2. Maximum Building Height The maximum structure height is 35 feet, except as allowed by Section 1030.080. 3. Maximum Impervious Surface A. The total impervious surface coverage shall not exceed 50%. B. The rest of the site shall be landscaped or left in a natural state. 4. Landscaping Zone A. In addition to meeting the landscaping standards in Section 1060.070, Subd. 2 (A) – (I) of the City Code, any portions of the site that abut a residential area will contain a landscaping zone along the shared property line with a minimum width of the applicable setback established in [Standard 1]. B. The landscaping zone will consist of evergreen and/or deciduous trees and shrubs with a sufficient density to provide visual buffering to a minimum height of eight feet. The grade for determining height shall be the grade elevation of the building or use for which the buffering is providing protection. Earth mounding or berms may be used but shall not be used to achieve more than three feet of the required buffer. A fence may also be installed, but not in lieu of the planted landscaping zone. 5. Parking Lot Screening and Landscaping A. Any lighting used to illuminate an off-street parking area shall be so arranged as to reflect glare away from adjoining property, adjacent residential uses, and public rights-of-way and be in compliance with Section 1060.040 of this Chapter. B. Parking areas shall be screened from properties guided or zoned residential and from public streets. Screening to a height of at least 3 feet shall be provided to screen vehicle headlights. C. Parking areas which are 3,000 square feet or greater shall have no less than 350 square feet of land devoted to internal landscaping islands (in addition to required traffic safety islands). The minimum square footage of land devoted to internal landscaping islands shall increase by 100 square feet for each Page 4 of 7 additional 1,000 square feet of additional parking space. Such islands shall be bound by concrete curbing unless comparable green infrastructure is approved. 6. Site Access. The primary site access shall comply with one of the following: A. Site shall have direct access onto a Major Roadway (defined as a Principal Arterial, Minor Reliever, Minor Expander and Minor Connector roadways); or B. Direct access onto a Major Collector or Minor Collector roadway no more than 1,000 feet from an intersection with a Major Roadway as identified in the Comprehensive Plan. 7. Noise Exterior bells or loudspeakers are permitted between the hours of 9 a.m. and 10 p.m. 8. Additional Requirements A. The City Council may attach additional conditions to the granting of the conditional use permit as it deems necessary to protect the residential character of the neighborhood. B. The use shall comply with the conditional use permit standards in Section 1070.020 of the Zoning Ordinance. C. As provided for in federal statute 42 U.S.C 2000cc-3 (e), the City Council may avoid the preemptive force of any provision of Chapter 21C (Protection of Religious Exercise in Land Use and By Institutionalized Person) by changing the policy or practice that results in a substantial burden on religious exercise, by retaining the policy or practice and exempting the substantially burdened religious exercise, by providing exemptions for the policy or practice for applications that substantially burden religious exercise, or by any other means that eliminates the substantial burden. Additionally, the proposed amendments include renaming “Places of Worship/Assembly” to “Places of Worship” as previously discussed in the September 2, 2021, staff report. There was some mention regarding standards for lighting and noise at the October 12th Planning Commission meeting. Nothing new is being proposed in relation to lighting (other than lighting within parking lots) and noise under the draft ordinance. As noted in the staff report on October 12, 2021, Medina was the only city (of the cities surveyed) that included additional standards for lighting and noise for assembly uses within residential districts. In regard to lighting, Medina City Code requires: Page 5 of 7 “[E]xterior lighting must be designed and installed so that the globe is recessed and enclosed on all sides except the bottom and no direct light is cast on adjacent residential property or rights-of-way[.]” Staff believes our general performance standards for lighting is more substantial and accomplishes the same goals as Medina’s additional performance standard specific to assembly uses. Section 1060.040 of Corcoran’s City Code requires: Subd. 1. Except for single- and two-family homes located within the residential zoning districts, all exterior lighting shall comply with the following standards: A. Glare, whether direct or reflected, as differentiated from general illumination shall not be visible beyond the limits of the site from which it originates. B. No light which is flashing, revolving or otherwise resembles a traffic- control signal shall be allowed in any area where it could create a hazard for passing vehicular traffic. C. Maximum Intensity of Lighting and Glare: 1. Any light or combination of lights shall not exceed one foot-candle (meter reading) as measured from the property line or the centerline of a public street. 2. Any lighting shall be arranged so as not to produce glare beyond the property line. Lenses, deflectors, shields, louvers, or prismatic control devices shall be used to eliminate glare. D. General Performance Standards: 1. Light fixtures and freestanding luminaires shall have a cutoff angle of less than or equal to 90 degrees. 2. The height of a freestanding luminaire shall not exceed 30 feet or extend above the roof line of the principal building, whichever is less. 3. Freestanding luminaires used for outdoor athletic fields and recreation areas that exceed the height limitation may be approved by conditional use permit. 4. All canopy lighting for motor fuel stations shall be recessed into the canopy. Page 6 of 7 5. Accent lighting used to highlight building facades, foliage, or selected architectural features shall be permitted provided the light source is shielded. 6. Any lighting in existence before the effective date of this Ordinance that does not comply with the requirements shall be considered legally non-conforming. However, if a property owner proposes to replace 50 percent or more of the existing exterior light fixtures or standards in any one-year period, the fixtures or standards must be replaced in conformance with this Chapter. Medina does not allow any exterior bells or loudspeakers for assembly uses within residential districts. Since no other city surveyed had an additional standard pertaining to noise, completely prohibiting exterior bells and loudspeakers seems overly restrictive. Additionally, such a rule would limit the ability for a future school to host a sporting event. Staff proposes a standard that attempts to strike a balance between no regulation and over-regulation by limiting the hours exterior bells and loudspeakers can be utilized. Finally, there was also discussion regarding how to regulate accessory uses for Places of Worships and educational facilities. Staff has reviewed our current authority to regulate uses, such as daycares, as well as other uses not specifically addressed in our City Code, such as soup kitchens. Staff believes the existing Zoning Ordinance already provides sufficient protection to residential neighborhoods in how nearby assembly uses can expand their operations. At the very least, a proposed site plan modification requires City approval. Section 1070.050 of the Zoning Ordinance clarifies that all uses (except for agricultural uses, single- family homes, and two-family homes) must submit a Site Plan for approval with the City. Should a Place of Worship or school propose a structural addition involving 10% or less of the total existing floor area or a site expansion modification involving 10% or less of the total existing site area, this would need to be administratively reviewed and approved by staff. Plans that do not qualify as a minor site plan amendment are automatically considered a major change, which must be approved by City Council. Additionally, these uses are also subject to the CUP procedures in Section 1070.020, and operational modifications that result in increased activities and traffic will require an amendment to the CUP, which requires a public hearing and review with the Planning Commission as well as City Council approval. No changes to the ordinance or additional standards to address accessory uses are proposed by staff. 4. Summary: The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment has been heavily analyzed and researched by city staff with input provided by the City Attorney. Overall, performance standards and governmental goals across cities can vary drastically, so there is not a single approach to point to that meets the goals of Corcoran. The current draft ordinance is based on extensive research and provides strong performance standards that will offer protection to the neighborhood character of urban residential areas.

VOTING AYE VOTING NAY McKee, Tom McKee, Tom Bottema, Jon Bottema, Jon Nichols, Jeremy Nichols, Jeremy Schultz, Alan Schultz, Alan Vehrenkamp, Dean Vehrenkamp, Dean Tom McKee - Mayor ATTEST: City Seal Jessica Beise – Administrative Services Director City of Corcoran December 23, 2021 County of Hennepin State of Minnesota RESOLUTION NO. 2021- Page 1 of 2 Motion By: Seconded By: A RESOLUTION APPROVING FINDINGS OF FACT FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE TEXT OF SECTIONS 1020.020, 1040.040, 1040.045, 1040.050, 1040.060, 1040.065, AND 1040.070 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CORCORAN CITY CODE (CITY FILE 21-034) WHEREAS, the Corcoran City Council requested amendments to Section 1040 (District Regulations) of the Zoning Ordinance to establish performance standards for Places of Worship and educational facilities, K-12 located in urban residential zoning districts within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA); and WHEREAS, the performance standards are consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, City Code standards, and City policies; and WHEREAS, the proposed performance standards reflect the City’s governmental interest to protect the residential character of existing neighborhoods; and WHEREAS, the proposed performance standards reflect the City’s vision to retain the rural character of Corcoran; and WHEREAS, the proposed performance standards represent the least restrictive means to advance the City’s interests; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed text amendments at a duly called Public Hearing; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Corcoran, Minnesota, that it approves amendments to Section 1020 (Definitions) and Section 1040 (District Regulations) of the Zoning Ordinance of the City Code to establish performance standards for assembly uses allowed by conditional use permit in urban zoning districts, based on the following findings: 1. The proposed amendment includes renaming the definition of “Places of Worship/Assembly” to “Place of Worship” since the definition specifically excludes other known assembly uses not specifically places of worship. 2. The proposed setback, maximum impervious surface limit, and landscaping zone standards provide transitional green space corridors as the intensity of use and site size increases. City of Corcoran December 23, 2021 County of Hennepin State of Minnesota RESOLUTION NO. 2021- Page 2 of 2 3. The proposed maximum building height is consistent with what is allowed for permitted structures in urban residential zoning districts and allows for architectural elements, such as spires and bell towers. 4. The proposed parking lot screening and landscaping standard provides screening to adjacent properties and landscaping throughout the parking area. 5. The proposed site access standard requires assembly uses to locate in areas with access to roadways that are designed to accommodate higher levels of traffic. 6. The proposed noise standard provides the ability for educational facilities and Places of Worship to utilize exterior bells and loudspeakers during daytime hours while limiting hours for the benefit of nearby neighborhoods and remaining consistent with noise standards for similar uses throughout Corcoran. 7.

(a) Types of screening; applicability of fence requirements. The fencing and screening required by this chapter shall be subject to section 36-816 and shall consist of either a fence, greenbelt planting strip or earth berm. (b) General standards. (1) Screening shall be installed so as to provide a visual barrier. Any such barrier shall reduce visibility in a manner that restricts vision of the object being screened, but is not required to totally block the vision of any such object. (2) Screening shall consist of a compact evergreen or deciduous hedge and overstory and understory trees of sufficient width and density or an earth berm of sufficient height to provide an effective screen throughout the year. Overstory and understory trees are defined in 36-831(c). Page 3 of 4 a. At planting, hedge material must be at least three feet in height. b. Deciduous trees must be at least five feet in height and 2½ inches in diameter as measured six inches above the ground. c. Coniferous trees must be at least five feet in height. d. Earth berms shall not have a slope of more than three feet horizontal to one foot vertical or be located within any street right-of-way unless otherwise approved by the city engineer. (3) A required screening fence shall be constructed of masonry, brick or wood. Such fence shall provide a solid screening effect and not exceed eight feet in height or be less than six feet in height. The design and materials used in constructing a required screening fence shall be subject to the approval of the city council. (c) Screening of mechanical equipment. (1) All mechanical equipment, such as air conditioning units, erected on the roof of any structure or on the ground shall be screened so as not to be visible. (2) Air conditioning units need not be screened if located at least ten feet from any side lot line and between the rear of the house and the rear lot line of a lot on which a single- family, two-family or quadrominium structure is located. (3) The screening shall be constructed with materials that are architecturally compatible with the building. (4) The use of wood, in whole or in part, as a screening material shall not be considered as being architecturally compatible unless the building is constructed with a wood exterior. (d) Screening of commercial and industrial buildings. All nonresidential principal buildings or structures and any building or structure accessory thereto shall be screened in accordance with the requirements of this section from lots in any R-1, R-2, or R-3 district which are used for dwellings and which are located within 200 feet of the nonresidential use. Such distance shall be the shortest distance between the nonresidential building or structure to be screened and the nearest lot line of the residential use, but shall not apply if such uses are separated by a public street. (e) Screening of trash containers. (1) All exterior trash containers which are visible from a street, residential district or adjoining property, except those located in parks, shall be screened by an enclosure of masonry or brick construction. Screening enclosure gates shall be of solid material, such as steel or wood, but not including chain link fencing. (2) Screening enclosure gates may not be required if the resulting open side of the enclosure does not face an existing or future right-of-way or a residential district. (3) Steel guard posts shall be placed around the enclosure to protect the enclosure from vehicular traffic. (f) Parking lot screening. All off-street parking lots containing six or more spaces, except such lots which serve single-family attached or detached units or public park facilities, shall be screened from those residential properties abutting or across the street from the parking lot in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this section. (g) Buffer yards. Page 4 of 4 (1) Width of buffer area. Where a buffer yard is required for property which abuts residentially zoned property, there shall be within the required setback a landscaped area at least 20 feet in width for the first 100 parking spaces located on such abutting property, which area shall extend along and be adjacent to the entire length of all common property lines shared with the residentially zoned property. The width of the buffer area shall be increased by ten feet for every additional 100 parking spaces provided on the abutting lot. (2) Fence or berm required. a. The buffer area shall contain a fence of four to six feet in height, which fence shall be located on the abutting lot within one foot of the common property line. b. On industrially zoned property, an elongated earthen mound (berm) may be constructed rather than the fence required in subsection a of this subsection. Any such berm shall be constructed the entire length of the buffer yard and shall be continuous or provide the illusion of continuity when viewed from the side and perpendicular to the berm. c. Any such berm shall have a slope of three feet horizontal to one foot vertical and shall not be located within any street right-of-way unless approved by the city engineer. The berm shall be constructed so as to obstruct, for adjoining properties, views beyond the berm to the screening height prescribed by the formula set forth in the preceding sentence. d. To provide visual variation, the minimum height of the berm may be decreased slightly at varying intervals. Such variations shall not result at any point in a berm height less than 80 percent of the height required by the formula in subsection c of this subsection, or result in a concentrated area of berm height reduction so as not to provide the screening benefits intended by the berm, or result in berm height reduction along more than 20 percent of the total length of the buffer yard. e. In those areas where the height of the berm is reduced, landscape screening in addition to that required in subsection (g)(2) of this section must be provided as determined necessary by the zoning administrator to fulfill the purpose of the berm. (3) Landscaped area. a. The landscaped area shall also contain a double row of evergreen shrubs which, when planted, shall be a minimum of four feet in height. b. Said shrubs shall grow to a minimum height of six feet. c. The rows of such shrubs shall be planted in such a manner that a distance of five feet exists between the centerline of each row and so that, when viewed perpendicular to the rows, one would observe a shrub planted every 2½ feet on center. (4) Additional landscaping. Buffer yards required to be greater than 20 feet in width shall require additional landscaping so as to be the equivalent of an additional row of evergreen shrubs, but the additional landscaping may be planted in other than rows and is not limited to evergreen shrubs. (5) Maximum width. The maximum width of a required buffer yard shall be 50 feet.
