PLANNING REPORT
TO: Eric Johnson
FROM: Scott Richards
DATE: December 9, 2022
RE: Oak Park Heights – Variance for Subdivision Process and
Regulations, Variance for Lot Size, Variance for Lot Width – 15222
ndnd
62Street and 15XXX 62Street
TPC FILE: 236.02 – 22.11
BACKGROUND
Jennifer Cates Peterson of Cates Fine Homes LLC/Setac Properties (Applicant) has
made application for a variance from Subdivision Regulations and process, and
variance for lot size and lot width to allow for construction on two single family lots at
ndnd
15222 62 Street and 15XXX 62Street. The property currently has one single family
home that will be removed.
The site consists of one parcel at 5,382 square feet in size and another with 10,758
square feet. The property is zoned R-2 Low and Medium Density Residential District.
The property line is proposed to be moved to create two lots, one at 8,093 square feet,
and the second one at 8,047 square feet. The proposed lots will not comply with lot
size and lot width requirements of the R-2 District, requiring a variance.
The other variance is required to allow the boundary line adjustment as a minor
subdivision and not require a preliminary/final plat. The provisions for minor
subdivisions allow for an administrative approval if the new lots conform with the Zoning
Ordinance lot size minimum standards. In this case, the minimum standards will not be
met. Staff suggested that the minor subdivision process be used, rather than requiring
a preliminary/final plat which would be a significant additional expense to the Applicant.
The Planning Commission at their December 8, 2022, meeting held a public hearing,
took the Applicant’s and public’s testimony, and after consideration of the application,
unanimously recommended approval with conditions. The recommended conditions are
found below and in the City Council resolution.
EXHIBITS
The review is based upon the following submittals:

RE: MNDOT Request –Nov 1, 2022
MNDOT is seeking, in the above dated letter, to adjust the local municipal boundary lines – northwardly by 110 feet between the
City of Stillwater and Oak Park Heights in areas located westerly of Oakgreen Ave – near Norell Ave. See HIGHLITHTED AREAS
in YELLOW. Their logic, we understand…seeks to deal with a few issues:
1.A portion of the NealAve. / Frontage road being in Stillwaterwould be addressedas it may add complexity to what
entity is responsible for maintenance should an issue arise.
2.To find a mid-point along STH36 as the current SECTION LINE is not in alignment to the WEST of STW. Blvd.
3.Facilitate a Turn-back to the City of these frontage roadsbetween Oakgreen and just west of Norrell Ave.
The Council will recall that this was previously
sought by MNDOT but also included lands to the
east of Oakgreen Ave. It was the lands east of
Oakgreen that had additional parcel impacts to
private property owners and involved some
complex perspectives for lands lying in the
easterly South Frontage Road – likely related to
future concepts of municipal costsand consent.
In light of this, MNDOT has newlyinquired if the
City of Oak Park Heights would beamenable to
only these westerly landsas shown in
YELLOW and a planned turn-back of these
areas to the City.
The City already has accepted certain (if not all)
maintenance responsibilities formost ofthese areas (In yellow) as outlined in the MNDOT AGREEMENT: # 76528 and this action
would be necessary for executing future turn-back request.However the eastern 1,300 feet is NOT covered under such
Agreement and essentially remains MNDOT responsibility (except snow /iceas part of Agreement #01432).
REQUESTED ACTION:
As there can be complexities to a TURN-BACK AGREEMENT, including ensuring facilities suggested to be turned back
to the City are in good condition and avoids any future State claw-back provisions; therefore …an action limited to only
a jurisdictional changewouldnot specifically commit the City to any further actionfor a turn-back, but would facilitate
addressing the above issuesat a future datesubject to some future agreement. Staff does understand that MNDOT is
eager to pursue aturn-back agreement for these areas, but is not a decision the City Council is required to entertain
now.
If the City Council is comfortable with a jurisdictional change for the areas
shown in yellowabove…it can affirm that position to STAFF and we will
loop back with MNDOT and Stillwater and set a course for the more formal
process – which ultimately will include RESOLUTIONS and actions with the
State and ultimately an AdministrativeLaw Judgeas Noted in MN STAT.

Agenda Item Title: Approve Developer’s Agreement – Siegfried Construction – Purchase of
City Property 5416 Stagecoach Trail
Agenda Placement Old Business
Originating Department/Requestor Eric Johnson, City Administrator
Requester’s Signature
Action Requested: Discussion, Possible Action
Background/Justification (Please indicate if any previous action has been taken or if other public
bodies have advised):
As part of the continued sale process of the 1.45 acre “BELL PROPERTY” along Stagecoach
Ave.; the City and Buyer anticipate a closing the last week of December which is to be consistent
with the approved terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement.
That Purchase Agreement had three key elements outlined in the Addendum To Commercial
Purchase Agreement (attached) .
1. A price of $150,000.
2. Secure necessary Zoning / Site Plan Review and Approval
3. Finalization of final Developer’s Agreement.
The Buyer did complete and secure a general Conditional Use Permit that outlined the
anticipated scope of the project and is the established expectation for construction. The pending
Developer’s Agreement – copy enclosed – then advances these expectations with timelines and
conditions necessary to ensure compliance.
In short, it is expected that the buyer has 24 -36 months to complete the project and should this
not occur (or in the way permitted in the CUP) the City would have certain penalties to enforce
on the Buyer.
At this time, Staff is still developing Developer’s Agreement to meet the established
expectations of the City Counciland CUP – we expect to have that available by the
afternoon of 12/13/22 for Council review.
