Council Meeting: June 23, 2016 Prepared By: Jessica Beise Topic: Copy Machine Agreements Action Required: Approval Summary: Staff has been exploring options for copy machines for both the Administration Department and the Police Department. In 2009 the City purchased a copier for the Administration Department. The City maintains a month to month maintenance/supply only contract on the purchased copier. In 2011 the Police Department leased a copier and the lease agreement terminates at the end of the month. The IRS classification for office equipment such as copiers is five years. The Administration Department copier is seven years old and has not been scheduled for replacement in the CIP. As staff reviewed quotes for the Police Department, it provided an opportunity to review alternatives for the Administration Department as the machine is nearing the end of its useful life. Staff is looking into options to reuse the current Administration copier machine at Public Works, have the new vendor buy back the machine or auction it off. Staff reviewed quotes from four vendors. Metro Sales provided the most competitive quote overall, but most significantly when reviewing how the per page price is calculated for the newsletter, and the overall lease options. Additionally Metro Sales was able to solve a printing issue we were having with the newsletter which should save staff significant time during the newsletter printing process. The contract allows for the ability to rewrite the agreement to reflect different usage, if the City should be utilizing less copies in the future. Financial/Budget: The cost of the lease for the Police Department would be $201.00. The cost of the lease for the Administration Department would be $450.06. Both new agreements would have an increased cost over current printing copier print cost, however based on the most recent performance report the office supplies line item should remain on budget for the year. If factoring in the cost of the Administration Department copier purchase in 2009 the monthly costs of City Hall coping if less today with the current lease option. Alignment with Values: This item relates to the following adopted values: EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY IN THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES We believe that service to the public is our reason for being and strive to deliver quality services in a highly professional, cost-effective, and friendly manner. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY Page 2 We believe that fiscal responsibility and the prudent stewardship of public funds is essential for citizen confidence in government. Options: 1. Authorize staff to enter into agreements for copy machine leases for the Administration and Police Departments. 2. Decline to authorize staff to enter into agreements for copy machine leases. Recommendation: N/A Council Action: Consider a motion to authorize staff to enter into agreements for copy machine leases for the Administration and Police Departments. 1.

TO: Corcoran City Council FROM: Anne Hurlburt through Kendra Lindahl, Landform DATE: June 15, 2016 for the June 23, 2016 City Council Meeting RE: PUBLIC HEARING. Park Dedication Ordinance Update (City File 16-006) 60-DAY REVIEW DEADLINE:N/A 1.Request Approve the update to the park dedication requirements of the Subdivision Regulations, Chapter 9 of the Corcoran City Code. 2.Background At its March 28, 2016 meeting, the City Council authorized staff to conduct a review of the park dedication ordinance to: a)Update the 2011 calculations of park system costs, based on changes in construction costs and any new information about proposed parks and trails available since the 2011 update. b)Update the land value information used in the 2011 analysis with available data for Corcoran and the surrounding market area from city and county assessors. c)Examine the current residential dedication formula to determine whether the percentages of land or equivalent cash dedication are adequate to meet the city’s needs. d)Provide an alternative formula to address the concern about the equitable application of residential dedication requirements to land outside the MUSA. Specifically, consider whether the formulas could incorporate a measure of the expected population growth from various types of residential development. Use the results of this exercise to propose a revised formula for consideration by the city. e)Evaluate and recommend the appropriate maximum cash-in-lieu of land fee. f)Determine what ordinance amendments are necessary for conformity with the 2013 state law changes. On April 28, 2016, the Council received a report and draft amendments, and referred it to the Parks and Trails Commission for review and to the Planning Commission for a public hearing. The Parks and Trails Commission reviewed the report at its May 17, 2016 meeting. Although the Commission did not have a quorum at their meeting, the members present reviewed the report and made positive comments about the draft amendments. The Planning Commission held a public hearing at its June 2, 2016 meeting. No comments or public testimony were received at the hearing. The Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council adopt the amendments. Agenda Item: 9a. Park Dedication Ordinance Update 2 June 23, 2016 City Council Meeting 3. Draft Ordinance The draft amendment to Section 955.020, Subd. 6, of the City Code reflects the alternative park dedication schedule described in the report to the City Council. Several additional edits were made after the initial draft to ensure clarity. The amendment includes the following changes:  The table of land dedication requirements has been revised to incorporate the new percentage requirements listed in Table 9 of the April report.  The paragraph immediately following the table has been revised to clarify that the cash -in- lieu of land dedication fee per residential unit is to be paid when the Council determines that land is not needed in the area of the proposed subdivision, and that if a lesser amount of land is needed the cash payment is based on a pro -rata share of the land dedication that would otherwise be required.  The text of Section C, Commercial and industrial land use, would be amended to change the dedication requirement from 5% to 3%, as described in the April report.  A new paragraph (new Section D) has been added to clarify that for mixed use development, park dedication requirements will be pro -rated based on the acres of land devoted to each type of land use.  The text of Section D, Determination of Fair Market Value, would be replaced with new language from the 2013 amendment of Minn. Stat. Section 462.358, Subd. 2b, as follows: “The fair market value of the undeveloped land shall be determined by the City annually based on tax valuation or other relevant data. If the City’s calculation of valuation is objected to by the applicant, then the value shall be as negotiated between the City and the applicant, or based on the market value as determined by the City based on an independent appraisal of land in a same or similar land use category.” The draft findings of fact resolution incorporates portions of the April report in order to document the relationship between the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the park dedication requirements—the “essential nexus” that is required by state law. It shows that the city has done the analysis to demonstrate that “the fee or dedication must bear a rough proportionality to the need created by the proposed subdivision or development” as required by Minn. Stat. Section 462.358, Subd. 2b. Changes to the cash in lieu of land fee will also require an amendment to the City’s 2016 fee schedule. This ordinance amendment is presented as a separate agenda item for City Counci l action at the June 23 meeting. Annually, when the City updates its fee schedule, the assessor should be consulted on any changes in land values, cost estimates should be updated for inflation, and the cash-in-lieu of land park fee recalculated.

Amendments. The text of Section 955.020, Subd. 6 of the Corcoran City Code is hereby amended by deleting the stricken material and adding the underlined material as follows: Subd. 6. Area of Dedicated Land. Subdividers shall be required to dedicate to the City for park, trail and open space the percentage of net land area or equivalent market value in cash identified below: Residential Land Uses Dedication Requirements: Land Use Category based on the Comprehensive Plan Units per acre (Density, Net – Pre- Development) Percentage of land or equivalent market value in cash Rural/Ag Residential Less than 3 10% 4% Low Density Residential 3-5 11% 15% Medium-Density Residential 6-8 12% 17% Mixed Residential 8-10 13% 27% High-Density Residential and Mixed-Use 10+ 14% 22% Commercial and Industrial N/A 5% 3% A. The City Council may will identify a maximum minimum park dedication fee per residential unit to be paid in lieu of land dedication when the Council determines that that land is not needed in the area of the proposed subdivision. If the Council determines that land is needed in the subdivision, but in a lesser amount than the required percentage, the Council will require payment of the per unit fee based on a pro-rata share of the land dedication that would otherwise be required. . The subdivider shall pay the lesser of the per unit fee or the equivalent cash market value calculated using the table above for residential land use dedication requirements. City of Corcoran County of Hennepin June 23, 2016 State of Minnesota ORDINANCE NO. 2016-325 Page 2 of 3 B.A. The City Council shall review park dedication fee requirements periodically, to ensure that the required fee remains consistent with park and trail system development costs. B. Commercial and industrial land uses: Dedication requirement is five percent (5%3%) of land or equivalent market value in cash. C. Dedication requirements for mixed use development will be pro-rated based on the acres of land devoted to each type of land use. D. Developments that include memory care and assisted living units shall apply the commercial rate to the percentage of memory care and/or assisted living units that are in the project, multiplied by the project net acres. E. Schools, religious institutions and other non-profit organizations: Dedication requirement shall be determined by the City Council based on discussion with the School District or non-profit agency. Recommendations will be based on anticipated use of City park facilities by the school or organization, and shall consider agreements for cooperative use of school recreational facilities. F. Determination of Fair Market Value. To determine the fair market value of the undeveloped land, the Developer shall submit a current appraisal at the time of preliminary plat application. The City may then obtain a review appraisal as a validation of the Developer's appraisal. If staff and the Developer are unable to agree on fair market value, the City Council will make the determination of fair market value. The fair market value of the undeveloped land shall be determined by the City annually based on tax valuation or other relevant data. If the City’s calculation of valuation is objected to by the applicant, then the value shall be as negotiated between the City and the applicant, or based on the market value as determined by the City based on an independent appraisal of land in a same or similar land use category. G. Lands Designated On Official Map or Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Where a proposed park, playground, trail or open space area indicated in the City park and trail plan or comprehensive plan is located in whole or in part within a proposed subdivision, all or part of the proposed public site shall be designated as such and City of Corcoran County of Hennepin June 23, 2016 State of Minnesota ORDINANCE NO. 2016-325 Page 3 of 3 should be dedicated to the City, based on the area of land dedication required by this ordinance. H. Deviation from Required Dedication. The dedication requirements based on the development's proportional share of the City park system are presumptively appropriate. I. Wetlands and Ponding Areas. Existing wetlands drainage ways accepted by the City shall not be considered in the parkland and/or cash contribution to the City. (Ord. 291, passed 12-11-14) Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon its publication and passage.

The share of land to be dedicated within new subdivisions, or cash to be paid in lieu of land dedication, is apportioned based on the expected demand generated by the new residents of the community. Park System Costs The components of park system costs are land and park construction costs. The assumptions on average land value are based upon consultations with the City Assessor. Table 1: Land Value Assumptions Land Use 2011 Assumption Land Value per Acre 2016 Assumption Land Value per Acre Non-MUSA Residential $ 20,000 $ 10,000 Low and Medium Density Residential (MUSA) $ 80,000 $ 80,000 High Density Residential and Commercial/Industrial $ 100,000 $125,000 In 2011, the cost of acquiring and developing the planned park system was estimated as $42,474,750. In 2016, the cost estimates were updated using the new land value assumptions, the Turner Construction cost index, and recent trail planning estimated from Hennepin County. The 2016 cost estimate for the park system is $60,216,200. Park System Demand New residential development is expected to create 95% of the need for park and recreational land and facilities in Corcoran. Projected demand for parks and trails was estimated for each type of land use, based on the density and type of dwelling units expected to be developed in each land use category of the Comprehensive Plan. Rural/Ag Residential and Low Density Residential developments are assumed to be single family detached dwellings (average household size of 2.8 persons) and the remainder area assumed to be attached dwellings (average household size of 1.9 persons.) Table 2: Expected Population Density by Land Use Category Land Use Category HH Size Units/Acre Persons/Acre Rural/Ag Residential 2.8 0.1 0.28 Low Density Residential 2.8 3 8.40 Medium Density Residential 1.9 5 9.50 Mixed Residential 1.9 8 15.20 High Density Residential/Mixed Use 1.9 10 19.00 City of Corcoran June 23, 2016 County of Hennepin State of Minnesota RESOLUTION NO. 2016-51 Page 4 of 5 Table 3 shows the maximum population at full build-out of the City at the minimum densities projected by the Comprehensive Plan Table 3: Expected Population at Build Out Land Use Category Acres Persons per Acre Population Rural/Ag Residential 1,240 0.28 347 Low Density Residential 2,716 8.40 22,814 Medium Density Residential 147 9.50 1,397 Mixed Residential 555 15.20 8,436 High Density Residential/Mixed Use 386 19.00 7,334 40,328 Each new resident’s proportionate share of the park system is the cost of the park system ($57,205,390 after deducting the 5% share for non-residential development) divided by the population served (40,328) to equal the per capita share: $1,418. The per capita share was multiplied by the number of persons per acre to determine the park dedication that must be contributed for each acre of land to be developed. Comparing that amount to the value of the land yields the new percentage of land value to be dedicated in each land use category, shown on Table 4. Table 4: Proposed Dedication by Land Use Category Land Use Category Persons per Acre Dedication per Acre ($1,418 per capita) Land Value per Acre % Land Value Rural/Ag Residential 0.28 397 $ 10,000 4% Low Density Residential 8.40 11,915 $ 80,000 13% Medium Density Residential 9.50 13,476 $ 80,000 15% Mixed Residential 15.20 21,561 $ 80,000 24% High Density Residential/Mixed Use 19.00 26,951 $ 125,000 19% For Commercial/Industrial Development, the % of land value was calculated by dividing its share of park costs (5% of the total cost, or $3,010,810) by the total acres of land (728) to yield the contribution per acre ($4,135.) This is approximately 3% of the land value ($4,135 divided by $125,000 per acre.) Table 5 compares the total potential dedication based to the projected cost of the park system. This table demonstrates that the dedication requirements are necessary and sufficient to fund the park system anticipated by the Comprehensive Plan. City of Corcoran June 23, 2016 County of Hennepin State of Minnesota RESOLUTION NO. 2016-51 Page 5 of 5 Cash in Lieu of Land Dedication If the City determines that land is not needed in the area of a proposed subdivision, a cash fee in lieu of land dedication may be required. For residential developments, the cash in lieu of land fee has been calculated based on the per capita share of park system costs as calculated above ($1,418.) The fee for single family units shall be $1,418 X 2.8 (the average household size) or $3,970. The fee for multi-family units shall be $1,418 X 1.9, or $2,694. The City will annually update its estimate of land values, as required by state law and as provided by the amended ordinance. The cost estimates and the park dedication formula and fees will be updated and amended as necessary.

TO: Corcoran City Council FROM: Kendra Lindahl, Landform D ATE: June 16, 2016 for the June 23, 2016 City Council Meeting RE: Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review for Randahl Construction, Inc. for the 1.01-acre site at 7241 County Road 116. (PID 26-119-23-41-0002) (City File 16-012) 60-DAY REVIEW DEADLINE:July 4, 2016 1.Application Request The applicant has requested approval of a conditional use permit and site plan to allow outside storage and a variety of improvements on the site. Randahl Construction has recently purchased the site from Heidi’s and is requesting approval of outside storage equipment. 2.Planning Commission Review The Planning Commission reviewed this item at a public hearing on June 2nd. Other than the applicant, there was no one present to speak on this item. The Planning Commission discussed the existing non-conformities, parking and setbacks. The Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request with two changes to the draft resolution: a.The Commission recommended that the applicant provide customer parking in paved stalls in the front of the building, but to allow employee parking on gravel in the fenced area. b.Allow the fence to be located on the property line and to allow outside storage up to the fence. Following the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant revised the plans to address a number of the conditions. Staff has revised the resolution to reflect the Planning Commission action and to eliminate conditions that were addressed in the June 14th revisions. The revisions include: a.Providing the 11 required parking stalls with 7 paved stalls in the front and 4 employee parking stalls in the gravel storage area. b.Showing compliance with the 50-foot front parking setback. c.Provided written permission from Custom Filtration for the proposed drainage impacts. Agenda Item: 9b. Randahl Construction CUP and SP (16-012) 2 June 23, 2016 d. Provided a revised landscape plan. The required setback may be reduced from 100- to 50- feet if the applicant provides a minimum of one overstory deciduous tree, one overstory coniferous tree, 2 ornamental trees and 10 understory shrubs per 100 feet of the length of the property line where the flexibility is requested, or preserves the equivalent amount of existing trees and shrubs. This property is only 100 feet wide, but it appears that the plan does not include any ornamental trees. 3. Context Level of City Discretion in Decision-Making The City’s discretion in approving or denying a conditional use permit 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 amendment. The City’s discretion in approving or denying a 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 site plan amendment. Background While the previous tenant had outside storage on site, no conditional use permit approval for the outside storage was found in the City records. Heidi’s Lifestyle Gardens appears to have been a non-conforming use. The change in ownership and site plan amendment triggers the need for the conditional use permit, which will bring the site into compliance. Zoning and Land Use The property is guided Light Industrial on the 2030 Future Land Use Plan and zoned Light Industrial. The surrounding properties to the north, south and west are guided and zoned the same. The property to the east (across County Road 116) is guided Mixed Use and zoned Downtown Mixed Use. Natural Characteristics of the Site The existing site is fully developed. There are no trees or significant natural resources. 4. 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. Site Plan The applicant is requesting approval to allow outside storage on this parcel and make improvements to the site and building, including installation of a concrete parking and access area on the east and Randahl Construction CUP and SP (16-012) 3 June 23, 2016 a fenced, gravel storage area on the west. Randahl Construction, Inc. will use the building for offices and indoor storage of equipment and tools. The site did have outside storage with the former owners (Heidi’s Lifestyle Gardens and Cowboy Concrete), but there is no record of City approval for the outside storage. This approval (with conditions in the draft resolution) would bring the site into compliance. Access The existing access to County Road 116 will be maintained. The City submitted the proposed plat to Hennepin County for review. Hennepin County Transportation Department has reviewed the proposed plat and recommends dedication of an additional 27 feet of right-of -way adjacent to County Road 116. The County currently has a 40-foot ½ right-of-way adjacent to this parcel. The City only takes right-of-way as part of a subdivision and with the adjacent Custom Filtration plat, the City did not take additional right-of-way. Staff understands that there are long-term plans to improve County Road 116, but we are not recommending taking additional right-of-way with this request. Utilities The property is currently serviced by well and septic. The drainfield location is shown on the Custom Filtration property to the south. In 1998, the City approved a conditional use permit for construction of the Custom Filtration building (Resolution 1998-13). As part of the original approvals, the landowner provided a 115’ x 128’ easement in the northeast corner of the Custom Filtration lot for use and maintenance and reconstruction of a drainfield that served this property. This easement was required to protect this septic area from impacts from Custom Filtration improvements. The septic cleanouts should be protected when landscaping is installed to ensure continued access. Grading Limited grading is proposed on site to add 7 new concrete parking stalls, to grade the outside storage area and add a concrete valley gutter on the shared property line with Custom Filtration. Custom Filtration constructed a stormwater detention pond on their property to mitigate the increased impervious of their recent expansion. This site drains towards the pond, with some rear lot line drainage going straight to a ditch. The applicant has provided a letter from Custom Filtration in support of the proposed plan. The City Engineer has reviewed the grading plan and finds that it is generally in compliance with ordinance requirements. Screening/Landscaping Section 1060.070 of the Zoning Ordinance provides standards for landscaping. No changes to the building are allowed, therefore, no new landscaping is required. However, the applicant is requesting a reduced front yard setback for parking and that does require additional landscaping. The applicant Randahl Construction CUP and SP (16-012) 4 June 23, 2016 has indicated that this is a concept plan. Staff has included a condition that a final landscape plan be provided prior to construction. Outside storage is required to be screened from public streets and adjacent properties. This issue is discussed in more detail in the conditional use section of this report. Parking/Drive Aisles Section 1060.060 of the Zoning Ordinance requires parking and drive aisles to be a minimum of 100 feet from County Road 116 and 10 feet from all other property lines. The required front yard parking setback may be reduced to 50 feet if the applicant provides a minimum of one overstory deciduous tree, one overstory coniferous tree, 2 ornamental trees and 10 understory shrubs per 100 feet of the length of the property line where the flexibility is requested, or preserves the equivalent amount of existing trees and shrubs. These materials must be provided in addition to the minimum landscape requirements. The plans show a 50-foot setback but additional details are needed to ensure the landscape plan complies with ordinance requirements. The parking stalls must be a minimum of 9’ x 18.5’ and the drive aisles must be a minimum of 26 feet wide. The parking stalls comply but the drive aisle does not comply with the minimum width. This property is only 100 feet wide and does not currently meet parking setbacks or minimum dimensional requirements. The drive aisle and parking locations/dimensions are considered non- conforming uses. Section 1030.010 allows non-conforming uses to be maintained but not expanded. The planned improvements are allowed for this non-conformity. The building includes 1,945 sq. ft. of offices space and 3512 sq. ft. of storage space, which requires 11 parking spaces. The existing site has no designated parking stalls but has been parking up to the south and east property lines. The applicant is proposing to build and stripe 7 customer parking stalls in the front of the building and 4 employee parking stalls on gravel in the storage area. Site Lighting No new lighting is proposed. Any lighting that is added must comply with the standards in Section 1060.040 of the Zoning Ordinance. Signage There is an existing sign on site. The applicant has indicated that they intend to swap out the sign panel on the existing sign and modify the surrounding landscaping. No additional signage is proposed. Any additional signage must comply with the requirements in the Sign Ordinance (Chapter 84 of the City Code). Conditional Use Permit The applicant’s plan brings the outside storage area into compliance by adding a 6-foot fence to screen this outside storage area. Randahl Construction CUP and SP (16-012) 5 June 23, 2016 The Zoning Ordinance allows outside storage accessory to an allowed use as a condition use permit in the Light Industrial district if the following conditions are met: 1. Storage area is blacktop or concrete surfaced unless specifically approved by the City Council. The existing outside storage area is gravel and the existing parking area is gravel. Staff finds that the gravel outside storage area is existing today and would be consistent with the existing use. Gravel storage was recently allowed for Blocks N Rocks (2011) and Satellite Industries (2010) on 75th Avenue for similar uses. The City Council does have discretion to approve a Class 5 (gravel) storage area provided the outside storage area meets all screening and setback requirements. 2. The storage area does not take up parking space or loading space as required for conformity to this Chapter. The storage area does not take up parking space or loading space needed to meet ordinance requirements. However, the outside storage area would help to meet the minimum parking stall requirements for 4 of the 11 required parking stalls. 3. The storage area is screened from public streets and surrounding properties. The storage area would be screened by 6-foot wood fence with a gate. A wood fence is currently located along a portion of the north property and new fence would connect with this existing fence. Fenced details must be submitted for city review and approval. No fencing is allowed or proposed in front of the building, but a 6-foot fence can be located on the side and rear lot lines. However, Section 1060.010 (Exterior Storage) requires all exterior storage to be located in the rear or side yard and shall be screened so as not to be visible from adjoining properties and public streets and be located 10 feet from the side and rear lot lines. The existing site appears to have gravel up to the side and rear lot lines and has a fence on the north lot line. If the fence is located on the lot line, it will be difficult to ensure that that outside storage is 10 feet from the lot line. When the City approved outside storage for Satellite and Blocks N Rocks, the City allowed the fence on the lot line but required a 10 foot green strip with trees to be planted between the fence and the allowed outside storage area. The plant materials were inspected after 1 year to ensure survivability, but it is difficult to estimate the lifespan of these plant materials within the outside storage areas. If the City wants to ensure that outside storage is 10 feet from the lot line, they may wish to require the fence to be 10 feet from the lot line. The Planning Commission recommended that the fence be allowed on the property line and outside storage be allowed up to the fence. Randahl Construction CUP and SP (16-012) 6 June 23, 2016 5. Conclusions Staff finds that the standards for a conditional use permit amendment and a site plan amendment have been met or can be addressed with the changes discussed in the staff report. The approval would bring a non-conforming site into conformity on several issues. We have included conditions in the draft resolution to address these issues. 6.

Background Custom Filtration had previously constructed a stormwater detention pond to mitigate increased impervious of the building expansion. This Randahl site drains towards the pond, with some rear lot line drainage going straight to a ditch. 2. Pond • The 2011 Stormwater Modeling shows a total of 112,083 square feet draining to the pond. • The modeling showed 18,292 square feet from Randahl Construction site, which will now increase by 2,412 SF • This is an increase of area to the pond by 2% and will have negligible, if any, impact. 3. Rear Drainage • Rear drainage goes to a ditch which travels north to Larkin Road. 4. Recommendations • Rear Drainage--Applicant shall not be allowed to store any material (dirt stockpiles, demolition debris, etc.) that will be susceptible to erosion and cause sedimentation to the downstream ditch. • Pond Drainage --Applicant shall submit documentation (written permission or Right of Entry) from Custom Filtration that the valley gutters, grading, etc. impacting Custom Filtration property are acceptable.

TO: Corcoran City Council FROM: Kendra Lindahl, Landform DATE: June 15, 2016 for the June 23, 2016 City Council Meeting RE: Minnesota Solar, LLC request for a Zoning Ordinance text amendment to allow Community Solar Gardens (City File 16-008) REVIEW DEADLINE: September 30, 2016 1.Request Review draft ordinance and provide direction to staff on issues related to a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to allow community solar gardens. 2.Background On October 22, 2015, the City Council considered a request from Ecoplexus, Inc. to consider amending the zoning ordinance to allow ground mounted solar. The City Council indicated support for consideration of an amendment but recommended that the applicant initiate it and pay the associated costs through an escrow. The applicant did not submit an application. On January 14, 2016, the City Council considered a similar request form Minnesota Solar, LLC, except that they were requesting an amendment to allow ground mounted solar in the MUSA (metropolitan urban service area). The Council indicated a willingness to consider the request with the same stipulations on application and costs. On February 15th, the city received a written request from Minnesota Solar, LLC to consider a zoning ordinance amendment to allow community solar gardens. They have specifically requested that the City consider allowing community solar as an interim use permit in the Urban Reserve district. At the March 24th meeting, staff presented the Minnesota Solar, LLC request for a text amendment to allow Community Solar Gardens and presented a number of other solar issues that we believe should be considered in conjunction with this request. The Council noted that they felt like they needed more information in order make a decision about the proposed text amendment and suggested a more informal work session type meeting where solar providers, Xcel and other solar experts could be invited to answer questions and provide more information to the City Council and interested members of the public. Council met for a work session on May 25, 2016 and on May 26th directed staff to prepare a draft ordinance for community solar gardens to address the application and to include provisions for accessory solar uses. Agenda Item: 9c. Solar Ordinance Amendment (city file 16-008) 2 June 23, 2016 City Council Meeting 3. Government Policies In 2007, the State of Minnesota adopted legislation that created a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) for investor-owned utilities and public/cooperative utilities, which mandates that a certain percentage of each utility’s generation portfolio be derived from renewable sources by a certain year. In particular, Xcel Energy is required to obtain 31.5% of their generation from renewable sources by 2020, and Minnesota’s 2013 legislation further requires that an additional 1.5% of the utility’s retail electricity sales be derived from solar power by the year 2020. The State Legislature established the Community Solar Garden program in order to facilitate the production of solar energy in the State and help the utilities achieve these standards. Minnesota State Statute §216B.1641 allows the construction of one megawatt (MW) solar gardens that may be clustered with up to four other solar gardens on a single parcel, for a total maximum output of five MW per site.In May 2015, the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) only allowed those solar developers that submitted plans to Xcel by September 25, 2015 to cluster the solar gardens. The PUC is taking 2016 to study the impact of clustered 1 MW solar gardens and may lift the moratorium in 2017. The community solar garden model allows individuals, businesses, schools, and civic entities – known as “subscribers” – that have limited options to install their own on-site solar panels to purchase or “subscribe” to a portion or a “share” of the output from a given solar garden. This allows subscribers to purchase clean, renewable energy at a savings compared to their current utility bill, without making costly upfront investments in a solar system. In 2015 there was a significant push in the solar industry to permit and build community solar gardens quickly, as each garden must be constructed and online by the end of 2016 in order to qualify for the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for solar facilities, however, the tax credit was extended for another five years in late 2015. Tax benefit While the solar facility itself is exempt from being taxed under Minnesota Statutes, the land is taxed at an increased rate. If the principal use of the land is solar panels, then the land is taxed at the utility (3a classification) rate of 2%, rather than the agricultural (2a tax classification) rate of 1%. In addition, for facilities greater than one MW, the solar developer must pay a production tax rate of $1.20 per megawatt hour, the revenue from which is split 80/20 between the County and City. The City Tax Assessor performed a quick analysis on the subject parcel to determine the impact on the change in land classification. The total change in taxes is estimated as follows: Current status: Agricultural secondary homestead $8,604.20 Possible solar use with same value: 3a classification $49,564.00 This estimate from the City Tax assessor is for the total tax, and does not differentiate between the City and County allocation. Solar Ordinance Amendment (city file 16-008) 3 June 23, 2016 City Council Meeting Net Metering At the last work session, the question of whether or not the sales of power could be limited by the City. We consulted with the League of Minnesota Cities on this issue. Their attorney reviewed the statutes and consulted Andrew Twite at the Public Utilities Commission. Both the attorney and Mr. Twite felt that net metering, or the sale of power back to the power company, could not be regulated by the City but that the law is silent on regulating the size or placement of panels on properties. In Minnesota Statutes, any system that produces more than 40 kilowatts of energy is eligible for metering by utility companies. 4. Analysis Minnesota Solar, LLC has submitted a request to amend the Ordinance to allow for Community Solar Gardens as a principal or accessory use in the UR District. In addition to community solar gardens, we have prepared a solar ordinance that addresses other types of accessory solar energy systems in the City. Types of Solar Energy Systems (SES) At the direction of Council, the following types of solar energy systems are regulated in the draft Solar Ordinance and associated considerations for the Council: Building Integrated Solar Energy Systems. The proposed Ordinance would allow for building integrated solar energy systems in all districts. Building integrated systems would be allowed by building permit and reviewed by staff for compliance with the Code. (See Photo 1) Building or Roof Mounted Solar Energy Systems would be allowed in all districts and would require a certificate of compliance and a building permit. The Ordinance would allow for panels to be erected on rooftops or on the side of a building as shown in Photo 2. The Ordinance would restrict elevated panels on residential construction and require screening of all panels on non-residential buildings from the public right-of-way or adjacent residential uses. • Council should discuss if wall- mounted panels are desirable in all or any districts. Photo 1 – Building Integrated SES Photo 2 – Building Mounted SES Photo 3 – Roof Mounted SES Solar Ordinance Amendment (city file 16-008) 4 June 23, 2016 City Council Meeting Ground Mounted Solar Energy Systems are allowed in the UR and RR districts as accessory uses and would require a Certificate of Compliance for residential uses and a site plan amendment for non- residential uses. The amount of panel coverage would be limited by the allowable square footage of accessory buildings in the Zoning Ordinance. • Council should discuss if ground mounted systems should be allowed in other districts provided that they are limited in size or location. For example, could ground mounted systems be permitted in urban residential districts if the panels were located in the back yard? Community Solar Gardens. The proposed Ordinance allows community solar in the UR and RR districts but limits development to those parcels in the UR district that are guided Light Industrial and are identified for sewer staging in 2015 and beyond in the Sewer Staging Plan in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Solar gardens would be allowed by Interim Use Permit, which would require the permit holder to return to City Council to renew the permit in 25 years. These standards would limit the potential locations of community solar to the site proposed by the applicant and other parcels that would not likely be suitable for other solar developers. There are a limited number of places that a solar garden could currently be developed by Xcel. We have attached an exhibit showing the location of nearby substations and the Xcel service area. Questions. 1. Does Council want to allow Community Solar Gardens in the Rural Residential area? 2. Does the Council want to allow Community Solar Gardens in the Urban Reserve District as proposed? The proposed ordinance does not limit the size of a Community Solar Garden. While there is currently a moratorium on the clustering of 1 MW solar gardens, the PUC may reverse this decision in the future. Typically, a 1 MW garden needs 5-10 acres of land and a 5 MW garden needs 40 acres of land. • Council should consider if they would like to restrict the total acreage on which a solar garden can be developed. Performance Standards Setbacks The Ordinance as proposed requires accessory ground-mounted solar to comply with the accessory structure setbacks of the underlying zoning district and community solar gardens to comply with the Photo 4 – Ground Mounted SES Photo 5 – Community Solar Garden Solar Ordinance Amendment (city file 16-008) 5 June 23, 2016 City Council Meeting principal structure setbacks. The draft standards also require that panels be setback from any off- site residential structure by 100 feet, which is the required setback for agricultural districts. This proposed setback would provide additional buffering from nearby residential properties. Landscaping and Screening The proposed ordinance requires landscaping for systems over 40 kilowatts. This standard is consistent with guidelines in the Minnesota State Statutes §216B.1642, which provides planting standards for beneficial habitats that also function to provide stormwater runoff and erosion control management on solar sites. Shoreland, Floodplain, Wetlands and stormwater management It is our understanding that the placement of panels in Shoreland and Floodplain Overlay Districts and Wetlands is left to the decision of the LGU, as is the standards for determining standards for stormwater management. Therefore, if an applicant desired to place panels in any of these districts, ECWM would have the final say about how panel placement and stormwater management is handled. Decommissioning We have proposed language that is typical of many zoning ordinances in communities, however, we have left the financial security as an open-ended determination for Council. This amount should be discussed if Council decides to allow community solar gardens. 5. Next steps The City Council should review the draft ordinance language and provide direction to staff regarding the types of solar, locations and standards. The Council could direct staff to schedule a public hearing. The proposed schedule would be: • August 4th Planning Commission meeting—public hearing on draft ordinance amendment • August 25th City Council meeting—possible adoption of ordinance amendment If the Council does not support the draft language, they could: a. Direct staff to prepare a resolution for denial of the applicant’s request to allow community solar gardens in the UR district. b. Direct staff to make changes to the draft ordinance and bring back a revised draft to the July 28th Council meeting. 6. Requested Action Staff requests that the Council discuss the issues outlined in the staff report and provide direction to staff about how they wish to proceed with the ordinance amendment. If there is consensus on the direction, the City Council should direct staff to schedule a public hearing at the August 4th Planning Commission meeting.

Findings. The intent of this Section is to allow reasonable capture and use, by households, businesses, and property owners of their solar energy resource, and encourage the development of renewable energy businesses, consistent with community development standards. This is consistent with Chapter 4, Section 8 of the Corcoran 2030 Comprehensive Plan, which states that the “City of Corcoran will protect [solar] access by requiring minimum standards for lot sizes, amounts of open space, yard setbacks, and maximum height of buildings for urban residents that create the opportunity for all building owners to develop solar energy facilities if desired.” The general purpose of this subsection is to regulate the placement, construction and modification of solar energy systems in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public, while not unreasonably interfering with the development of the solar energy systems in the City. Specifically, the purposes of this Ordinance are: A. To regulate the location of solar energy systems. B. To protect residential areas and land uses from potential adverse impacts of solar energy systems. C. To minimize adverse visual impacts of solar energy systems and facilities through design, siting, landscaping, and screening. D. To avoid adverse impacts to adjacent properties caused by solar energy systems by ensuring that those structures are soundly and carefully designed, constructed, modified, maintained and promptly removed when no longer used. E. To ensure that solar energy systems are compatible with surrounding land uses. Subd. 2. Development of Solar Energy Systems. A. Solar Energy Systems shall be permitted in the City of Corcoran according to Table 1 of this section.

TO: Corcoran Planning Commission FROM: Mary Matze through Kendra Lindahl, Landform DATE: June 15, 2016 for the June 23, 2016 Commission Meeting RE: Subdivision Ordinance Update (City File 16-017) 60-DAY REVIEW DEADLINE:N/A 1.Request Consider an update to the Subdivision Regulations, Chapter 9 of the Corcoran City Code related to the review process of lot line adjustments and minor subdivisions. 2.Background At its June 14th meeting, the City Council authorized staff to conduct a review of the subdivision ordinance to update and simplify the procedure for lot line adjustments and minor subdivisions and to ensure consistency with the Minnesota State Statutes. 3.Draft Ordinance A draft amendment to Title IX (Subdivision Ordinance) of the City Code has been prepared to reflect proposed changes to the subdivision ordinance. The amendment includes the following changes: •In cases where no new lots are created and the lot line adjustment meets the standards of the code, lot line adjustments and lot consolidations will be approved administratively. This is consistent with state statutes. Those lot line adjustments that require right-of-way dedication will be required to be reviewed by Council. •Minnesota State Statutes permit City Councils to approve minor subdivisions of 5 or fewer parcels that are greater than 2 ½ acres in size without platting the subdivision. We have updated the code to allow Council to approve minor subdivisions of 3 or fewer parcels in all districts by metes and bounds. The RR District standards currently allow a minimum lot size of 2 acres. The minimum lot size must be increased to 2 ½ acres to be consistent with state statutes if a land owner chooses the minor subdivision process rather than the platting process. •We have proposed a change to Section 930.010 that would explicitly allow concurrent approval of preliminary and final plats at City Council, consistent with Minnesota State Agenda Item: 9d. Minor Subdivision Ordinance Amendment 2 June 23, 2016 City Council Statute §462.358 Subd. 3b. The City already has an informal policy of allowing concurrent approval for smaller subdivisions, and this change would simply formalize the process. • Definitions have been updated to reflect the proposed changes in the Ordinance. 4. Requested Action Staff requests that Council review the proposed changes outlined in the staff report and provide direction to staff about how they wish to proceed with the ordinance amendment. If there is consensus on the direction, the City Council should direct staff to schedule a public hearing at the August 4th Planning Commission Meeting and City Council action at the August 25th meeting.

They are now requesting approval to allow grading to extend beyond the approved grading limits to include the 40-acre property adjacent to Hackamore. The Council reviewed this item at the June 9th meeting and took public testimony. A motion died for lack of a second and no formal action was taken at the Council meeting. 3.Recommendation Move to approve the amended rough grading plan as requested by Lennar.
