Council questioned the bench memorial location in front of City Hall and why the bench was not being located in the Memorial Garden. Councilmember Dejewski volunteered to work with Eagle Scout Frank Brand on the project. 8.Planning Business a.Rezoning, Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan, and Variance for Comlink Midwest at 23405 County Road 10 City Planner Lindahl outlined the application for three phases of a project located at the intersection of County Road 10 and County Road 19, which includes an office building and two operations buildings. The site is currently guided Rural Service Commercial and Rural/Ag Commercial within the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and is re-guided Rural Service Commercial in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Phase 1 complies with building and parking setbacks however, phase 2 and phase 3 have some challenges regarding the setbacks. City Planner Lindahl noted the setback can be reduced to 60-foot building and 50-foot parking with additional landscaping on the site. City Planner Lindahl presented the landscape plan and noted with the landscaped screening of the storage area, the applicant discussed at a Planning Commission meeting that fencing is not needed to detour theft, as materials stored are not desirable items or a high theft issue. City Planner Lindahl indicated applicant was asked to identify how the outside storage area would be controlled so the outside storage area does not expand over time. City Planner Lindahl explained in the Rural Commercial district, architectural standards encourage contractor yards, have lower building standards than other areas of the City and a CUP does allow flexibility from the 50 percent standard for metal materials, which the applicant is asking for. Similar flexibility was granted to Doboszenski and Sons, ESS, and the Motor Café regarding higher percentages of metal materials allowed. City Planner Lindahl outlined the variance requests. Council asked about the size of outside storage in total on the parcel. City Planner Lindahl indicated it was a small area approximately 300 feet by 50 feet. Council discussed outdoor storage area totals, quality and finish of building, and intersection of County Road 19 and County Road 10 as an entranceway into the City of Corcoran. Scott Williams of ComLink Midwest reviewed the concerns by Council. Council discussed adding cupulas to the roof, windows to the south side elevation, and raising the wainscoting on the building to reflect the 50 percent ratio regarding metal standards. A representative from Morton Buildings approached the podium and discussed options for the south side of the building. Council discussed pole buildings and quality differences in pole buildings. Council deliberated architecture improvements and reviewing outside storage at future phases. Motion: made by Dejewski, seconded by Thomas to approve Resolution 2019-53 Approving Site Plan Amendment, Variances, and Conditional Use Permit for property located at 23405 County Road 10 (PID 18-119-23-12-0001) (City File 19-011) with an amendment to 4c. recorded as the provisions of section 1070.020 are considered and determined to be satisfied, provided revised 3 elevations are submitted for Council approval with improved architecture as discussed; and with an amendment to 6a. recorded as Staff finds that there are practical difficulties in complying with the Zoning Ordinance. Due to the “double frontage” of the parcel, the applicant is limited to the location of outdoor storage necessary to the function of their business. Furthermore, Hennepin County will not allow access to the parcel to be constructed on County Road 19. The applicant is required to provide appropriate screening along County Road 19 to ensure that all outdoor storage is screened from public view. Furthermore, the applicant shall be required to provide additional landscaping along the western property line to meet the requirements for a setback reduction. Through landscaping and screening requirements, all exterior outdoor storage will be appropriately screened. Only the storage shown in the 300 x 50 square foot area shall be permitted in Phase 1. Future expansions of the storage area may be considered in future phases. Voting Aye: Thomas, Bottema, Dejewski, Keefe, and Schultz (Motion carried 5:0) Motion: made by Schultz, seconded by Dejewski to approve Ordinance 2019-398 Amending Title X (Zoning Ordinance) of the City Code to Classify Certain Land at 23405 County Road 10 (PID 18- 119-23-12-0001) (City File 19-011). Voting Aye: Thomas, Bottema, Dejewski, Keefe, and Schultz (Motion carried 5:0) Motion: made by Schultz, seconded by Keefe to approve Resolution 2019-52 Approving Findings of Fact for Rezoning at property located at 23405 County Road 10 (PID 18-119-23-12-0001) (City File 19-011).

City Planner Lindahl noted based on previous approvals the recommendation by staff was to limit the garage protrusion to two feet. Council discussed housing products and garage protrusion. Motion: made by Keefe, seconded by Dejewski to approve Resolution 2019-54 Approving Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) Plan for “Ravinia 13th Addition” for Lennar Corporation (PID 36- 119-23-21-0002 and 36-119-23-24-0003) (City File 19-012).

Present were Mayor Thomas, Councilor Bottema, Councilor Keefe, and Councilor Schultz. Councilor Dejewski arrived at 5:51 pm. Also present were City Administrator Martens, City Planner Lindahl, and Administrative Services Director Beise. 1. Call to Order / Roll Call Mayor Thomas called the work session to order at 5:39 pm. 2. Discussion of Residential Development Standards City Planner Lindahl discussed the guidebook findings including how post-recession housing is smaller and denser, detached townhomes and villa homes are increasing in popularity for developers and homebuyers, and lots as small at 6,000 square feet and 45- or 50-foot lot widths are common. City Planner Lindahl examined the tools for regulating development the City can utilize, including the review of the zoning district standards which are the framework, the City design standards, and PUDs to give the developer and City a negotiated zoning district, and reviewed how each of these components work together. City Planner Lindahl outlined the residential development densities by year in Corcoran with the current RSF-2 single family residential district standards. Council discussed the definition of net acre units of land. City Planner Lindahl discussed the zoning standards in the metro region versus Corcoran’s RSF-2 zoning standards, and reviewed examples of different setbacks and separation between homes of 10, 14 and 16 feet. Corcoran’s RSF-2 requires 15 feet separation between residential structures. City Planner Lindahl discussed challenges in the current standards regarding garages and size of lot and home width. City Planner Lindahl discussed the tradeoff for PUD flexibility has been infrastructure improvements or other City priorities such as paved roads. City Planner Lindahl indicated a discussion of the City’s priorities in negotiating PUD’s would be helpful to staff in moving forward with future developments. Council discussed how the City can balance zone district standards with design standards to accommodate the low-density, urban single-family development. Council discussed how to determine how much of the design standard is subjective and how are design standards codified. Council focused discussion on garage and architectural standards and concerns with garage forward design, and tunnel-like front entrances where the door appears sunken into home. Council discussed a design option that includes a porch that highlights the front entrance and extends to the garage. Council continued discussion on 15-foot minimum separation standard between structures. Council talked about narrow houses on smaller lot width sizes and pushed forward garages. Council discussed multi-unit housing with single family housing and how combined unit developments would be positive for the community. Council conveyed a fire safety concern of homes being close together. Council expressed concern over parking space in driveways, and snow removal during the winter, and how that will complicate driveway and road access, with limited parking. Conversation included development transitions from rural residential areas into high-density neighborhoods could be more structured and aesthetically desirable. Council questioned the driveway size which does not allow for a truck and trailer to park in the driveway. Council discussed the density requirement by the Met Council in relation to land in Corcoran and smaller lot sizes. Council considered land costs in Corcoran and how the City could be impacted by larger lot sizes. City Planner Lindahl shared a market perspective reflecting on buyer demand and fewer local builders and more national builders, and larger lot sizes may slow development. Council discussed Corcoran’s vision regarding the ruralness of Corcoran and residential developments. Council reflected on moving to larger lot sizes, 2 with higher architectural elements, and the impact of continued development in Corcoran. Council discussed a neighborhood in Robbinsdale, and how Council should be cognizant of how neighborhoods age regarding materials used by the developer during construction of the neighborhood. Council described housing in the Rockford Area School District and how high standard housing will impact the school district, and the need for Council to consider the community aspect of higher standard housing. Mayor Thomas invited members of the Planning Commission to provide feedback. Commissioner Jacobs spoke on PUD developments, wanting to understand what the City is willing to give away, while standing firm on the lot width standards. Commissioner Wu spoke regarding the lot width and narrowing the lot makes the garage more prominent , the appeal of old neighborhoods with different materials is that you don’t notice the garage doors. Commissioner Dickman discussed the garage façade, concerns with lot size, and the ability to fit a 3-car garage on lots. Planning Commissioner Dickman asked what unit density number encompasses. City Planner Lindahl noted the City needs to be at 3-5 units per net acre within the low-density residential land use category and the City is currently meeting that ratio with the high- density housing included in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. City Administrator Martens observed consensus was reached on the separation of units remaining at 15 feet, along with consideration of PUD flexibility on the percentage of garage façade if other architectural elements are included on the home, with the maximum percentage to be determined. City Planner Lindahl noted there is nothing in City code that prohibits how far a garage can protrude from the home, and when staff receive developer requests of this nature, staff can reiterate the architectural component will need to have substantial impact, to allow larger garage façade. Council discussed the possibility that larger yard may be a higher demand in the future than a house with a smaller lot and the rural part of Corcoran and may not follow market demands. Council discussed the process of PUD’s and having the request from applicant geared to ordinances, setbacks, and standards going forward. 3. Adjournment MOTION: made by Bottema, seconded by Schultz to adjourn. Voting Aye: Thomas, Bottema, Dejewski, Keefe, and Schultz (Motion carried 5:0) Meeting adjourned at 6:51 pm. ________________________________ Michelle Friedrich – Deputy Clerk FINANCIAL CLAIMS CHECK RANGE Agenda Item 7c.

Council Meeting: August 8, 2019 Prepared By: Kevin Mattson Topic: Bridge Inspections – Hennepin County Agreement Action Required: Approval Summary: The City has four bridges that meet the criteria for bridge inspections as part of the State Local Bridge Replacement Program. The classification allows for culverts greater than 10 feet in diameter to be classified as “bridges”. • Cain Road • Schutte Road • Shannon Lane • Trail Haven Road In addition to the four bridges above a large culvert on Bechtold Road is also inspected. Presently, our engineering consultant has completed the inspections in conjunction with a third-party subcontractor. These inspections are highly technical and require specialized training and certifications. After reviewing our current approach, staff reached out to Hennepin County to see if there would be any opportunity to complete the inspections more efficiently and cost - effectively. Hennepin County staff confirmed that they are amendable and have the capacity to partner with Corcoran on this task. The County would be responsible for the bridge inspection and reporting on an annual basis. The City Engineer will retain the Bridge Program Administrator position. Staff is coordinating the draft an agreement with Hennepin County for expense reimbursement. Financial/Budget: The estimated cost for Hennepin County to complete the annual bridge inspections and reporting is $1,200 which results in approximately a 50% savings from the current approach. Options: 1. Authorize staff to enter into an agreement with Hennepin County to provide annual bridge inspections and reporting requirements. 2. Decline the agreement. Page 2 Recommendation: Authorize staff to enter into an agreement with Hennepin County to provide annual bridge inspections and reporting requirements. Council Action: Consider a motion to authorize staff to enter into an agreement with Hennepin County to provide annual bridge inspections and reporting requirements.

Attachments: None STAFF REPORT Agenda Item 10a. Council Meeting: August 8, 2019 Prepared By: Brad Martens Topic: Campaign Sign Enforcement Policy Action Required: Direction Summary: During the 2018 election, staff was responsible for enforcing regulations related to the placement of campaign signs in the City of Corcoran based upon an established policy which is attached. City Council candidates were contacted when signs were in violation and given time to relocate the signs or they would be removed by staff. The enforcement procedures utilized the right-of-way for delineation of where signs were not allowed. During the campaign, questions arose on how to handle properties that were not platted where no clear right-of-way was delineated. After consultation with the City Attorney, staff informed candidates to maintain campaign signs 15 feet from the edge of pavement. In advance of the 2020 campaign season, staff wishes to update documents in order to provide clarity of the enforcement process for individuals enforcing the policy as well as the candidates. Attached to this report is a draft campaign sign enforcement policy and proposed ordinance edits to support that policy. Staff request s the City Council provide direction on the drafts prior to formally adopting at a future meeting. The draft campaign sign enforcement policy streamlines the process by utilizing a distance from the edge of the roadway for all properties. The distance is left blank and will be discussed at the City Council meeting. In addition to streamlining the allowable location of the signs, the draft policy also eliminates the notification requirement prior to removal. The intent will be for staff to complete regular sweeps of the City during the campaign season. The policy as drafted will allow for enforcement on any street within the city limits and for any office (federal, state, county, city, school, etc.). While drafting this report staff did reach out to Hennepin County to inquire their approach to enforcing regulations related to campaign signs. According to the County their policy is that they do not allow signs in the right-of-way. However if they are push in signs they do not go around removing them due to the amount of signs they would gather and the labor involved. If they receive complaints County staff will either place a sticker on the sign stating it is in non-conformance or remove the sign. Financial/Budget: Minor costs will be required to amend documents in order to enforce the policy. Options: 1. Direct staff to initiate the process to approve the documents as presented. 2. Direct staff to initiate the process to approve the documents with amendments. 3. Send back to staff for further review. Recommendation Staff recommends initiating the process to approve the document s with a selected distance from edge of roadway. Council Action: Direct staff on changes to the Campaign Sign Enforcement Policy. Attachments: 1. 2018 Enforcement Procedures for Campaign Signs 2. Draft Campaign Sign Enforcement Policy 3.
