Submitted by Mike Pritchard Code Compliance Official CITY OF CORCORAN 8200 County Road 116, Corcoran, MN 55340 763.420.2288 — Office 763.420.6056 — Fax E -mail - general (cDci.corcoran.mn.us / Web Site - www.ci.corcoran.mmus To: Corcoran Planning Commission From: Mike Pritchard, Code Compliance Official Date: July 12, 2013 for July 18, 2013 Planning Commission Meeting Jeff and Kristen Ophoven Interim Use Permit (Conditional Home Occupation Re: License) 120 -DAY REVIEW DEADLINE: September 19, 2013 1. Application Request Jeff and Kristen Ophoven, 19315 County Road 30, have submitted an Interim Use Permit application for a Conditional Home Occupation License (CHOL). This is required due to a Code Compliance concern raised in 2012. In May 2012, the City received an anonymous call questioning whether or not the RV and boat storage was allowed. Such uses are not allowed in the Urban Reserve (UR) zoning district. However, staff finds that due the historical operation on the site, the applicant could request approval of a CHOL based on the finding that they would have been eligible to receive one in 2001 when the Home Occupation ordinance was adopted had they submitted the application at that time as existing home occupations were requested to do. Mr. Ophoven went before the Council on April 11, 2013 with a request to speak about his home occupation and request that the escrow fees to process his application be lowered. The council agreed unanimously to lower the escrow amount from $2,000 to $500. (See Letter and April 11, 2013 Council Minutes) Under the Home Occupation Ordinance, this business requires a CHOL (which is processed as an IUP) because the business is outside of the principal structure, there are customer visits to the property, and there is exterior evidence visible from public roads and adjacent parcels. 2. Context Background The City Code (1030.100) that the Commission shall consider the following standards and criteria when reviewing a CHOL: 1. The nature and general character of the geographic area in which the CHOL property is located. The City may consider, in additional the other factors and not by way of limitation, the existence and condition of gravel and paved roads in the area, existence and proximity of collector, County and State roadways in the area, CHOL lot size, the proximity of CHOL operation to neighboring residences, size of neighboring lots, and use of neighboring properties. 2. Consideration shall be made for potential property devaluation of adjacent and surrounding properties. 3. Nuisance factors shall be considered, including but not limited to sight, odor, light, glare, and noise. And any other nuisance factors than may result from issuance of the CHOL. 4. Environmental concerns. Including but not limited to drainage, wastewater, wells, and wetland issues. 5. Compliance with all relevant Code sections. 6. Impact on the neighboring properties shall be considered before issuing a CHOL The site in question consists of approximately 67 acres and has driveway access to County Road 30. The applicant has indicated that they historically have had and currently have 30 -40 customers that each translates to approximately two trips per year (a total of approximately 60 -80 trips annually). Zoning and Land Use The site is currently zoned as Urban Reserve and is designated for Mixed Use on the 2030 Future Land Use Plan. The property is currently listed for sale. The owners hope to sell their property to a developer, at which time the storage would cease. Surrounding Properties The surrounding properties are zoned Urban Reserve and Community Commercial and existing Single Family Residential. The 2030 Future Land Use Plan guides the surrounding properties as Mixed Use, Business Park, and Existing Residential. Natural Characteristics of the Site The center of the lot, where the business operations are to be located, is surrounded by both natural screening by trees and screening from existing structures. (See Aerial Map) 3. Analysis of Request The property is visible from County Road 30 and was inspected on July 11, 2013. The campers are stored on the center of the property and are screened to the North and West by two large accessory buildings and the primary structure (residence), as well as to the East and South by a large tree line. The storage is only somewhat visible from the public road. (See site plan and photos). The property owner has stated they have been operating this business since approximately 1998. The business operations will not change or expand. This request is nearly identical to a City approved outside storage operation located just north of the Ophoven property at 10409 County Road 101 - Waag Conditional Home Occupation License. (See Attached Resolution 2002 -61). The difference is that Waag applied for the CHOL when the home occupation ordinance was initially adopted; therefore, they have been legally operating since that time. The Conditional Home Occupation License (CHOL) is issued as an Interim Use Permit. An Interim Use Permit (IUP), unlike a Conditional Use Permit, is specific to both the property and the applicant. This means that the IUP /CHOL in not transferable, and may become void due to certain changes, such as property sale, subdivision, etc. Staff finds the request for an Interim Use Permit for a Conditional Home Occupation License to continue the outside storage business to be reasonable. 4. Conclusions Staff finds the proposed outside storage business has a limited impact on the neighboring properties. This business has been operating since approximately 1998, roughly 15 years with little to no changes or expansion. There is a similar business, still in operation, which was approved for CHOL in 2002 after the Home Occupation Ordinance was adopted by the City; had the Ophoven's applied for a CHOL in 2002, it would almost certainly have been approved. 5. Recommendation Move to recommend approval of the request, based on the findings and conditions in the attached resolution. Attachments a.

The Conditional Home Occupation License is issued to Jeff and Kristen Ophoven for the operation of an outside storage business. This permit is non - transferable. If the business ceases, if ownership of the business changes, or if the individual to whom a license has been issued ceases to own the subject premises, the CHOL is automatically revoked. 3. The Conditional Home Occupation License is approved based on the findings: a) There are no employees. b) This is currently not a legal operation. c) It is located within the UR zone. d) The site consists of 67.28 acres. e) Hours of operation are minimal. f) There are no environmental or watershed issues. g) There are no accessory structures relating to this business. h) Comp Plan guides this property toward Mixed Use. i) Storage consists of RVs, campers, enclosed ATV /snowmobile trailers, and boats only. City of Corcoran County of Hennepin State of Minnesota RESOLUTION NO. 2013 - ?? 4. Storage shall be limited to RVs, campers, enclosed ATV /snowmobile trailers and boats, not to exceed forty units on site. 5. All units to be stored must be in working condition and have all necessary registration and current licensing. 6.

It is the City's desire to work with property owners to alleviate violations in order to avoid the court system and related penalties. The following violation has been identified on your property: Zoning Ordinance - Section 1060 — Performance Standards 1060.010 — EXTERIOR STORAGE Subd. 1 Outside storage. As otherwise regulated, all outdoor storage is prohibited... (See Attached) This violation relates to the exterior storage of RVs, campers, boats, trailers, etc. on your property at 19315 Co. Rd. 30 in Corcoran, MN PID: 12- 119 -23 -42 -0002. Please remove the vehicles from your property. The City will re- inspect your property on July 13, 2012 to determine compliance with the ordinance. If the violations have not been remedied or scheduled for correction, a citation may be issued for any remaining violation. Please contact me if you have any questions at 763 - 400 -7033. Sincerely, Mike Pritchard Code Enforcement Attached: Ordinance, Photo(s) cc: Resident File March 18, 2013 City of Corcoran 8200 County Road 116 Corcoran, MN 55340 Re: Jeff Ophoven Conditional Home Occupation License Dear Mr. Donahue, Please forward this request to the City Council for consideration Dear Mayor and Councilmembers, As you may be aware, I have been doing outdoor storage on my property located at 19315 County Road 10, Corcoran, MN for about 15 years. I mainly store campers and Boats in their "off- season." I was made aware in 2012 that this type of land use requires a Conditional Home Occupation License (CHOL). I am willing to take the necessary steps and go through the process to comply with the City's Ordinance regulating home occupations, but I have one request: There is another operation located across from the KOA just north of me on County Road 101 that has an approved resolution for CHOL from 2002 that is nearly identical to my own. I have been given indication that my application will also be approved. However, since I have been doing storage since the late 1990's, and was just recently made aware of the need for a CHOL, I am asking for the Council to forgive the Escrow amount of $2000. If I was made aware in 2002 when the CHOL process was initialized, I would have gladly complied. In 2002, the process for the CHOL was almost identical as it is today, with one major difference: Cost. The cost for a CHOL until 2006 was a $500 flat fee, with no escrow. For one reason or another, in 2007, an escrow amount of $2000 was added to the cost. (see attached) I am more than willing to pay the $500 fee, as it was in 2002 -2006, but I am asking that the escrow required be the same as it was then: $0. This was started and continues to operate as a necessity to help cover my property taxes, and quite frankly, I just cannot afford $2,500 at this time. I do not believe that forgiving the Escrow will in any way jeopardize the intent of the Ordinance; I will still go through the entire application process including Administrative and Planning Commission Review and Council Approval. I am just asking for leniency on the cost and I have been working with both Mike Pritchard in Code Compliance and Kendra Lindahl, City Planner to find a solution. We have agreed that they would be able to help this process along as efficiently as possible but that any leniency in fees and escrows would have to be approved by the City Council. In summation, I am requesting that you forgive the $2,000 Escrow amount Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Jeff Opboven Conditional Home Occupation License Fee History 2002 -2006 Home Occupations Cost & Escrow Allowed home Occupation N/C N/C Special Home Occ. - Application $50 N/C Conditional Home Occ.

In 2007 the policy changed to keep the $500 fee and add a $2000 escrow. This policy remains the same today. Date: January 7, 2002 To: Home Occupation Applicants From: Tracy Jones, Planning Technician Re: Application Please complete the attached Home Occupation application and return it to the City of Corcoran by Friday, February 15, 2002. Once we have a chance to review the applications, we will notify you of whether or not your home occupation is considered an Allowed, Special or Conditional Home Occupation. We anticipate this notification will take place the end of February beginning of March 2002 (for those applicants who submitted their response cards by the December 31, 2001 deadline). If a determination is made that your business is considered an Allowed Home Occupation, no fee or permit will be required. If a determination is made that your business is considered a Special Home Occupation, an administrative permit fee of $50 will be required. Once this fee has been paid, a notice of intent shall be sent to all property owners within 350 feet of the perimeter of your property. The notice will request that written comments are forwarded to the City Administrator within ten (10) days of the date of the notice. Upon expiration of this comment period, if no concerns have been raised by any neighboring property owners and if the City has no additional concerns, a administrative permit will be granted. If a determination is made that your business is a Conditional Home Occupation, an application fee of $500 will be required. Once this fee has been paid, a notice of intent shall be sent to all property owners within 350 feet of the perimeter of your property. The notice will request that written comments are forwarded to the City Administrator within ten (10) days of the date of the notice. In addition to the notice of intent, the applicant will also need to appear before the Planning Commission and City Council to demonstrate the need for the Conditional Home Occupation License (CHOL). All applications will be reviewed and analyzed, taking into consideration the general health, safety and welfare of the community as a whole. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the enclosed application form or any of the information contained in this memorandum, please feel free to contact myself, Tracy Jones by phone at 763/ 420 -2288 or by e -mail at tjones @ci.corcoran.mn.us.
