PLANNING REPORT
TO: Eric Johnson
FROM: Scott Richards
DATE: May 8, 2013
RE: Oak Park Heights — Stillwater Area High School — Amended
Conditional Use Permit — Equipment Storage Building
TPC FILE: 236.02 —13.02
BACKGROUND
Dennis Bloom, Director of Operations, has made application for an Amended
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow construction of an equipment storage budding at
the Stillwater Area High School located at 5701 Stillwater Blvd North. The building will
be 20 feet x 26 feet (520 square feet) and will be placed near the football practice fields.
The project does not require Design Guideline review.
The site is zoned 0, Open Space Conservation District in which the High School has
been permitted as a conditional use. Any changes to the site or the uses require a
CUP. The original CUP for the High School was approved December of 1991.
EXHIBITS
The review is based upon the following submittals:
Exhibit 1: Letter from Raymond Queener, April 9, 2013 — Project Description
Exhibit 2: Project Narrative, April 15, 2013
Exhibit 3: Site Plan
Exhibit 4: Detailed Site Plan
Exhibit 5: Elevation Sketches
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The letter from Raymond Queener found as Exhibit 1 describes the project.
Additionally, the project narrative found as Exhibit 2 provides additional detail.
•
Mr. Queener's narrative indicates the following:
"The Stillwater Area High School football team uses a variety of equipment for its
practices, including footballs, marker cones, pads, dummies, ball- throwing machines,
water jugs, carts and other practice items. Cu all of this equipment must be
hauled out to the fold and back, for every practice, from an overcrowded small storage
area inside the school.
The District is partnering with the Pony Touchdown Club to construct a storage building
for all this equipment. It will be centrally located at the comers of the three main
practice fields, allowing the equipment to be quickly distributed and stored close to its
use The football booster club is raising funds to construct the building, at no cost to the
school district.
The proposed location is just east of a fence separating practice fields from a storm
water retention pond, well within the interior of the school property. Practice fields are
north and east of the site To the west; trees and vegetation surrounding a retention
pond completely screen the building. Residences south of the property line are also
screened by change in grade and trees. Approximately 480 feet to the north is the
service drive to the rear loading dock of the school.
The building will be slab on grade; rock faced concrete masonry building with concrete
aprons on each end and on one side. The building dimensions will be approximately 20
feet by 26 feet, with a 9 foot, 4 inch masonry wall topped by an 8/12 gable. The roof
peak will be about 17 feet above slab elevation. The masonry will be natural gray,
similar to an existing storage building to the west of the stadium. The building will have
electricity, but no water, sewer or plumbing."
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The property is designated as School Facilities on the
Proposed Land Use Map of the Comprehensive. Plan. The proposed addition of the
storage building at the High School will be consistent with this land use designation.
Zoning. The site is zoned 0, Open Space Conservation District in which the High
School has been permitted as a conditional use Any changes to the site or the uses
require a CUP. The criteria found in Section 401.03.A.7 of the Zoning Ordinance must
be considered when reviewing a request for this type.
Conditional Use Permit. The Planning Commission should consider the following
issues and impacts of the proposed project in making its recommendation.
2
The conditional use permit criteria, found in Section 401.03.A.7 of the Zoning
Ordinance, are found as follows:
1. Relationship to the spec policies and provisions of the municipal
comprehensive plan.
2. The conformity with present and future land uses in the area.
3. The environmental issues and geographic area involved.
4. Whether the use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is
proposed.
5. The impact on character of the surrounding area.
B. The demonstrated need for such use.
7. Traffic generation by the use in relation to capabilities of streets serving
the property.
8. The impact upon existing public services and facilities including parks,
schools, sheets, and utilities, and the City's service capacity.
9. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained
herein (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.).
Comment: The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and in conformity with
present and future land uses. There should be no environmental issues or impact to
surrounding tenants or property owners. The building will be screened by existing
vegetation and change in grade. Traffic generation will not be impacted by the addition
of this building. There is no impact upon public services and facilities. City Staff sees no
issues with the addition of the storage building as currently proposed.
Setbacks. The building will be setback approximately 260 feet from the south property
line. The building is well within any required set back lines.
Building Height. The building will be 17 feet to the peak of the roof or approximately
13 feet to the mid point of the gable. The Zoning Ordinance allows roofs to the mid
point of the gable to not exceed 17 feet in height.
Parking. Parking is not impacted by this building. No parking spaces are removed and
no additional parking is required for a storage building.
Grading /Drainage/Utilities. The grading of the site to accommodate the storage
building and resulting stormwater runoff shall be subject to review of the City Engineer.
Lighting Plans. There is no exterior lighting shown on the plans. If any lighting is
added it will need to comply with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. The building
will have electricity, with the power coming underground from the school, site lighting or
the stadium area.
Landscaping. There is no landscaping proposed for the building.
3
Page 162 of 200
Mechanical Screening. There will be no exterior mechanical equipment required for
this building.
Signage. The project narrative indicates that each garage door may have a Ponies
logo or Stillwater Ponies name in red, white and /or black. The signs would be
approximately 24 square feet each. The signage is compliant with the Zoning
Ordinance but shall require a sign permit.
CONCLUSION I RECOMMENDATION
Upon review of the request for an Amended Conditional Use Permit to allow for an
equipment storage building at the Stillwater High School located at 5701 Stillwater Blvd
North, City Staff would recommend the project with the conditions as follows:
1. Any signage proposed for the site shall be in compliance with Section
401.15.E of the Zoning Ordinance and will require a sign permit.
2. Any additional lighting proposed for the equipment storage building shall
be in compliance with Section 401.15.B.7 of the Zoning Ordinance.
3. Grading and drainage for the site shall be subject to review and approval
of the City Engineer.

Dear Mr. Johnson,
The Stillwater Area High School football team uses a variety of equipment for its practices, including
footballs, marker cones, pads, dummies, ball- throwing machines, water jugs, carts and other practice items.
Currently all of this equipment must be hauled out to the field and back, for every practice, from an
overcrowded small storage area inside the school.
The District is partnering with the Pony Touchdown Club to construct a storage building for all this
equipment. It will be centrally located at the corners of the three main practice fields, allowing the
equipment to be quickly distributed and stored close to its use The football booster club is raising funds to
construct the building, at no cost to the school district.
The proposed location is just east of a fence separating practice fields from a storm water retention pond,
well within the interior of the school property. Practice fields are north and east of the site To the west,
trees and vegetation surrounding a retention pond completely screen the building. Residences south of the
property line are also screened by a change in grade and trees. Approximately 480 feet to the north is the
service drive to the rear loading dock area of the school.
The building will be a slab -on- grade, rock -faced concrete masonry building with concrete aprons on each
end and on one side. The building dimensions will be approximately 20' x 26', with a 9'-4" high masonry
wall topped by an 8/12 gable. The roof peak will be about 17' above slab elevation. The masonry will be
natural gray, similar to an existing storage building to the west of the stadium. The building will have
electricity, but no water, sewer, or plumbing.
The district believes that this storage building will provide the football team easier access to their
equipment and allow for a more efficient practice facility.
If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me any time.
Sincerely,

RE: Design Review Application for proposed new Equipment Storage
Building, Stillwater Area High School, Oak Park Heights, MN
The SANS football team uses a variety of equipment for its practices, including footballs,
marker cones, pads, dummies, ball- throwing machines, water jugs, carts and other practice
items. Currently all of this equipment must be hauled out to the field and bath, for every
practice, from an overcrowded small sto area inside the school.
The proposed storage budding is centrally located at the comers of the three main practice
fields, allowing the equipment to be quiddy dished and stored dose to its use The
football booster dub is raising funds to construct the building, at no cost to the school
district.
Current and Surrounding Land Use fields from a stanrnrater
The proposed location is just east of a fence separating practice
retention pond, well within the interior of the school property, about 260 feet north of the
south property line. Practice fields are north and east of the site To the west, trees and
vegetation surrounding a retention pond completely screen the building. Residences south
of the property line arealso screened by a change In grade and by trees and vegetation, To
the east, beyond the adjacent practice fields, is the Environmental Learning Center. 480
feet to the north is the service drive to the rear loading dock area of the school.
Proposed Use
The proposed building will be used for athletic equipment storage, primarily by the football
team.
Architecture
The building will be a slab- on - grade, rock-faced concrete masonry building with concrete
aprons on each end and on one side. The building dimensions will be approximately 20-0 x
26-0, with a 9-4 high masonry wall topped by an 8/12 gable. The roof peak will be about 17
0 high above slab elevation. It will have gray fiberglass/asphalt dimensional shingles. The
eaves and fasda will be painted cement-fiber or composite boards, with 7-0 x 9-0 overhead
ga doors on each end. The end walls of the gable will be a translucent polycarbonate for
daylight to the interior. The masonry will be natural gray, similar to an existing storage
building to the west of the stadium.
The building will have electricity, but no water, sewer, or plumbing. There will be no exterior
light fixtures. Power will be run to weather -tight boxes at the end zones of the middle and
east practice fields, allowing ball-throwing and other equipment to be plugged in.
On eage 4-0 x 6-0 (24 have a Ponies logo or
On each garage door, and area approximately 4-0 may
Stillwater Ponies name, in red, white and/or black.
Site Design
The site is located to best serve the adjacent fields and reduce visibility of the building from
all vantage points. It will be graded to ensure stormwater drains positively away form the
building in all directions. In addition to the concrete aprons, the west side closest to the
fence will have an exterior slab, draining toward the retention pond.
Site Utilities
Power to the building will come underground from the nearest available source, likely the
existing school, site lighting or the stadium area.
