Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Amendment for a new cemetery at 19951 Oswald Farm Road (PID 11- 119- 23 -14- 0004) City File No. 12 -002 60 -DAY REVIEW DEADLINE: April 7, 2012 1. Application Request The applicant has requested approval of a Conditional Use Permit and an amendment to the existing site plan to allow a 498 -plot cemetery on 1.504 acres of land west of the existing church. 2. Context Background The church was approved in 2001. As part of the original approvals, the landowner provided concept plans for future build out of the entire church property including senior housing, office /retail on the property east of the church and a future cemetery west of the church. No approvals for future phases were granted as they were conceptual plans only. In 2004, the church submitted a request for a zoning ordinance amendment and a conditional use permit to allow a daycare on site. The request was approved in 2005 (Resolution 2005- 50 /Ordinance 221). In 2006, the church submitted a request for a zoning ordinance amendment to allow development of land in the MUSA prior to availability of municipal services, subject to several conditions. This request was approved in 2006 (Resolution 2006 -66 /Ordinance 239). Zoning and Land Use The property is classified as Public /Semi - Public on the 2030 Future Land Use Plan. The property is currently located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Boundary (MUSA) and zoned Public /Institutional (P -1). This property is in the 2015 -2020 phase of the 2030 Sanitary Sewer Service Staging Plan. Landforrr ", SensiblyGieen M and Site to Finish- are service marks of Landform Engineering Company. • - Surrounding Properties • • The property to the north is guided Existing Residential and zoned Urban Reserve (UR). The property to the east and south is property controlled by the church and guided Mixed Use and zoned Urban Reserve (UR). The property to the west is guided Mixed Residential, zoned Urban Reserve (UR), and developed as farm. Natural Characteristics of the Site There are no trees or significant natural resources in the area of the proposed cemetery addition, except that there is a delineated wetland to the north. 3. Analysis of Request Staff has reviewed the application for consistency with Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance and City Code requirements, as well as City policies. The City Engineer's comments are incorporated into this staff report. A. Level of City Discretion in Decision - Making The City's discretion in approving or denying a conditional use permit and site plan amendment is limited to whether or not the proposed request meets the standards outlined in the City Code. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the conditional use permit and site plan. B. Consistency with Ordinance Standards Site Plan The applicant is requesting approval to allow development of a 498 plot cemetery on the site. Cemeteries and memorial gardens are a conditional use in the P -1 zoning district. The conditional use permit standards are discussed later in this report. The cemetery is proposed for a portion of the 28.93 -acre Lot 1, Block 2, Hope Place. The applicant is requesting approval of vacation of a portion of the existing drainage and utility easement in the portion of the lot where the cemetery is proposed. The vacation request is not reviewed by the Planning Commission, but the City Council will hold a public hearing on the vacation at their March 22nd meeting. Staff recommends approval of the vacation. Access Access to the church is provided from Oswald Farm Road. An internal access road is proposed to the cemetery through the existing church parking lot. The applicant is proposing to pave this 22 -foot wide private access road, but is requesting City flexibility to allow them to prepare the base and wait 2 -3 years to pave the road to ensure adequate compaction. The City Engineer has reviewed this request and has no objection. The Zoning Ordinance requires this to be paved, but in this circumstance we support the temporary delay and have included that as a condition of approval. Hope Ministries International, Inc. (12 -002) March 1, 2012 r E • 0 Hennepin County Transportation Department reviewed the applicant's plans and finds no significant impact from the proposal Setbacks There are no buildings proposed with this project. The ordinance does not establish specific setback requirements for cemetery plots. The cemetery is proposed to be constructed in a portion of Lot 1, Block 2, Hope Place Subdivision. The cemetery plots are 33.5 feet from the west property line, 177 +/- from the south lot line (adjacent to Oswald Farm Road), and 230 +/- from the church on east. Parking No new parking is proposed for the cemetery. Screening /Landscaping Section 1060.070 of the Zoning Ordinance provides standards for landscaping. Section 1060.070, Subd. 2(G) of the Zoning Ordinance specifies the landscaping requirements for all new construction and additions. However, the cemetery has no above ground construction and; therefore, staff recommends an exemption from this requirement. They are proposing 10 Norway Pines -2 at the cemetery entrance and 8 along the west lot line. Normally, the city ordinance requires not more than 30% of the trees being planted to be of any one species (to protect against disease and pests), but given the existing tree line on the west and the minimal number of trees to be planted, we recommend approval. Wetlands There is a wetland on this lot, just north of the proposed cemetery approximately 46 feet north of the nearest cemetery plot. Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission is the LGU for the Wetland Conservation Act. They have reviewed this request and have identified several issues to be addressed. One of the conditions requires recertification of the wetland delineation that was done for the church project in 2001. The watershed requires recertification of delineations more than 3 years old. Due to weather conditions, this delineation cannot occur until spring (usually mid -May). We have included a condition in the resolution to ensure watershed approval prior to construction. Stormwater Management The City Engineer has prepared a memo regarding the stormwater management and identifying several items that must be addressed. Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission also noted items that must be addressed. There is an existing drain tile that runs through the cemetery, but the exact location of this drain tile is not known. A portion of the drain tile near County Road 116 was damaged and repaired last fall. As part of the cemetery site work, the applicant has indicated that they will field locate the drain tile and relocate it out of the cemetery. We have included a condition of approval addressing this issue Hope Ministries International, Inc. (12 -002) March 1, 2012 • • • • and requiring that the applicant submit a plan with the location of existing and proposed draintile locations for review and approval by the City Engineer. Site Lighting No new lighting is proposed. If the applicant chooses to provide additional site lighting (either on the building or freestanding), they must submit a lighting plan to the city for review and approval, subject to Section 1060.040 of the Zoning Ordinance. Signage No additional signage is proposed. Cemetery markers are not addressed in the applicant's narrative. Cemetery markers are exempt from the sign ordinance. Conditional Use Permit Cemeteries and Memorial Gardens are a conditional use in the P -1 district. We have reviewed the request against the conditional use permit standards in Section 1070.020. Specifically: A. Compliance with and effect upon the Comprehensive Plan, including public facilities and capital improvement plans. Cemeteries are a conditional use in the P -1 district. The cemetery requires no public facilities or public improvements as it is a private cemetery accessory to the church. B. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use will promote and enhance the general public welfare and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals or comfort. The cemetery will not be detrimental to the public welfare and will not endanger the public health, safety morals or comfort. Private cemeteries like this must comply with Minnesota Statutes §307. C. The conditional use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. The cemetery is a commonly accepted accessory use for religious facilities and will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity nor substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. D. The establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. Hope Ministries International, Inc. (12 -002) March 1, 2012 • • • • The cemetery will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. E. Adequate public facilities and services are available or can be reasonably provided to accommodate the proposed use. No public facilities are needed for the cemetery. Adequate public services can be reasonably provided to accommodate the proposed use. F. The conditional use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. The proposed use will conform to all applicable regulations in the P -1 zoning district. G. The conditional use and site conforms to performance standards as specified by this Chapter. As noted in the previous section, this application meets all zoning district standards for cemetery in the P -1 zoning district. Platting Minnesota Statute §462.352 exempts cemetery plats from the subdivision requirements. However, I have reviewed this request with City Attorney Carson and he opines that Minnesota Statutes §307 does require that the cemetery plot map be recorded at Hennepin County. We have included this as a condition of approval. 4. Conclusions Staff finds that the standards for a conditional use permit and site plan amendment have been met or can be addressed with the changes discussed in the staff report. We have included conditions in the draft resolution to address these issues. 5. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the draft resolution approving the site plan amendment and conditional use permit. Attachments 1.

DATE: February 21, 2012 SUBJECT: Hope Church Cemetery Wenck Associates, Inc. 1800 Pioneer Creek Center P.O. Box 249 Maple Plain, MN 55359 -0249 (763) 479 -4200 Fax (763) 479 -4242 E -mail: wenckmp @wenck.com Background Wenck has reviewed Hope Community Church grading plan dated 1 -11 -2011 and has following comments: • Plan shows approximately 5 to 6 feet of fill. No negative impacts are anticipated due to the fill. The limits of fill are shown to be outside of known wetalnds. • Drainage is proposed to the northeast towards large existing pond. No negative drainage impacts are anticipated. • A draintile is reported to exist within the fill area. The location of the draintile is not identified. The service area of the draintile is also not known. • The fill and cemetery area encroach upon an existing easement. The intent of the easement is understood to protect wetlands and permanent stormwater ponding areas. The stormwater areas were created during the construction of the church and greater property. It appears that the extent of dedicated easement exceeds the area to be protected for wetlands and stormwater. Recommendation Approve plan contingent upon a) Watershed, as LGU, verification that no wetland conservation act violations will occur due to the fill. b) A sketch plan being submitted to City Engineer of existing and proposed locations of draintile. The draintile must be protected or moved such that no negative drainage impacts are created. c) Determining the excess easement area is not required to protect wetland or stormwater treatment areas. It should also be verified that this easement area is not required for a secondary septic site. If the easement area is not required for protection, the easement in the fill area should be vacated to allow for construction of the cemetery. Kendra Lindahl From: James.Kujawa @co.hennepin.mn.us Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2012 9:26 AM To: Kendra Lindahl Cc: Ali.Durgunoglu @co.hennepin.mn.us Subject: Hope Community Church Cemetery ECWMC Preliminary Review Attachments: FeeSchedule_August 2011.xls; ApplicationForm_2010.doc Hi Kendra, On behalf of the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission, here is our preliminary comments on the information you provided us in your correspondence dated 1/23/12. 1) The amount of area disturbed ( >1.0 acres) triggers an ECWMC application and review of the grading and erosion controls on this site. 2) We will need an application, fee and erosion control plan to formally review and make a decision on this project. The fee will be based on a newly graded commercial /industrial /institutional site. 3) The amount of new impervious surface will be less than 0.5 acres, so no water quality or quantity analysis is necessary for the Commission. 4) Per the MN Wetland Conservation Act, because the original delineation is greater than three years old, the wetland boundary must be determined to be accurate or re- delineated if not. A new delineation or determination from a wetland delineator will be necessary. 5) The existing and proposed contours along the west property line do not match. This might be an issue if the City wishes to keep the water that channelizes along the toe of the slope in the drainage and utility easement along the property line. The drainage pattern in this area doesn't appear to change significantly, so the Commission will not require this channel in the easement 6) Slopes along the perimeter of the cemetery are being graded at 3:1. If the owner or city desires these slopes to be maintained we recommend 4:1 or flatter. 7) We are unsure why the vacated drainage and utility easement area was placed under an easement in the first place. We don't see any wetlands or drainage issues that should interfere with the vacation of it at this time. Please let me know if you have any other questions on this preliminary review. mill (See attached file: FeeSchedule_August 2011.xls)(See attached file: ApplicationForm_2010.doc) Please Note New Address Hennepin County Department of Environmental Services 701 Fourth Ave. South, Suite 700 Minneapolis, MN 55415 -1600 James.

Enclosed you will find the material that was missing with our submittal on the Cemetery development. We would like to let you know that our intentions are to not do the bituminous until the road has opportunity to settle and have sufficient compaction. This may take 2 -3 years before it meets out satisfaction and then the bituminous will be done in two separate applications. The future memorial garden will not include any structures at this time. If at some time in the future we would desire to do something of that nature we would come back to the city for guidance and approval. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 612 - 685 -4970. Sincerely, Brian L. Lother ;P 19951 OSWALD FARM ROAD CORCORAN, MN 55374 (763) 494 -HOPE BRIAN LOTHER, PASTOR 4 January 17, 2012 Dear City of Corcoran, r IFF HOT ,c i,'a plane of safe, n� 111'11 �l & equippin„ as we worship &' encounter the Living God together as a family. We are requesting approval from the city to construct a cemetery, the primary use of which is for the congregants of Hope Community Church. The area being designated for this use is 1.504 acres and will contain a total of 498 plots. The impact on adjoining properties will be minimal due to natural screening from an existing tree line as well as additional natural screenings to be planted. The only property in question is the Kothrade property to the west of the proposed site. There will not be the need to construct any buildings on the proposed site seeing that any equipment needed for the operation of the cemetery will be stored in other facilities already on site. The hours of operation will be as needed by the families and congregants who decide to use this facility for their needs. The employees that will be needed are currently staff employees of Hope Community Church so no additional positions of employment will be necessary. As mentioned earlier there will be a total of 498 grave sites and the impact on traffic will be a non -issue seeing as any use of the cemetery will coincide with a memorial service that will have taken place at Hope Community Church. The impact on the existing septic system as well as the alternate septic site is non- existing. The proposed site and the existing septic site are over 500 feet apart. Any potential environmental impacts seem to be non - existant at this time, however, if the city has concerns in this area we will be more than happy to address them as they would arise. At this time there are no plans to expand the proposed site. The only neighbor is the Kothrade farm which is currently being used for agricultural purposes as well as heavy equipment storage.

Background The Planning Commission ranked their priorities at their October 2011 meeting. Staff provided a summary of the priority summary to the City Council at their January meeting. At that meeting, the Planning Commission Chair indicated that he would like this summary to be presented again to the Planning Commission. Therefore, this summary is presented to the Planning Commission. Given the budget constraints that we face, staff recommends that we focus on 2 or 3 priorities for 2012. The City Planner and City Administrator met and ranked what we think are the five most important items to be addressed and requested Council direction to prioritize our work for 2012. 1. Design Standards for Preservation and Restoration Lands. This is required by the newly adopted OS &P ordinance. This is a new element that was not part of the previous version of the OSP plat process. It may be helpful to work with the greenway committee to develop the framework and concepts. The final language will need to be drafted to be consistent with our other ordinances. 2. Development Rights Map update. This map has not been updated since 2006. Because the development rights program is the basis for all development (rather than a more common minimum lot size requirement), it is critical that the City maintain as accurate as possible. This update is long overdue. 3. Accessory Dwelling Units. While the City has only received a few applications for this type of use, a number of concerns were raised during the development process. It would be a great time to update this ordinance before the City begins to feel more development pressure, however, because there have been few applications for this type of use, it could be delayed until 2013 if needed to address budget issues. 4. Home Occupation Ordinance. The council has talked in the past about revisiting this ordinance. 5. Non - conformities. There have been some changes to the Statutes regarding non - conformities and we should update our ordinances to be consistent with the Statutes. Additionally, I think it is important for the City to track minor items for updates that could be incorporated into an annual update in December. This is a cost effective way to keep the ordinance current and address minor issues at one time. I think larger items like Items 1 -4 above have enough Landform", SensiblyGieen " and Site to Finish- are service marks of Landform Engineering Company. i • issues that warrant a separate review, but Item 5 (non- conformities) could easily be addressed with the annual update. 2. Requested Action No action is required; however, the Planning Commission may wish to provide comments to be shared with the City Council. Attachments 1.
