Expansion of Non -Conforming Uses
October 26, 2015
Proposal
Stu -Mac Properties c/o 61 Marine & Sports is requesting a minor subdivision of parcel number
36.027.21.41.0006, a landscaping coverage variance, and a conditional use permit for the ex-
pansion of the nonconforming use at 11730 Point Douglas Drive South to include an expansion
of the outdoor sales and storage yard onto a contiguous property located to the west side of the
existing developed property.

61 Marine & Sports Expansion of Non -Conforming Use
October 26, 2015
Page 2 of 15
Background
The proposed expansion involves a triangular tract of land directly west of the existing devel-
oped site. The applicant recently purchased the property and is seeking to do a phased expan-
sion of the site. The expanded area will be utilized for additional exterior sales and storage area
and eventually a new sales building. This use is legal non -conforming and is the trigger for this
conditional use permit request. The new expansion area is being treated as a contiguous portion
of the applicant's existing parcel from a zoning perspective. In the spring of 2015, the City was
made aware that the applicant was expanding the commercial use on the property without
appropriate approvals and permits. The expanded activity included tree removal with grading
activity and building occupancy. This application process will address the expanded use on the
site. Prior to application being made, the City Building Official and City Attorney worked with the
applicant and his attorney to resolve any outstanding issues that would not be addressed during
the current review.
Property Characteristics
The expansion site currently has two houses and associated wells and septic and numerous
detached accessory structures. All but one of the structures will be razed from the site. The re-
maining structure was converted to a maintenance/storage facility through a post -construction
building permit. Demolition permits and photo documentation will be required prior to any struc-
tures being removed from the site. A detail of the existing site conditions is included below with
the structures to be removed in red. The existing structure on the site is located in the develop
area, which has had numerous additions over the years, along with bituminous parking and
storage areas and graveled storage areas.

The existing and proposed use is currently a nonconformity in that it is not allowed as a per-
mitted or conditional use within the B-2 zoning district. The existing zoning text from Title 11-11-
1013-1: Permitted, Conditional, Accessory, and Interim Uses, is shown below.

The proposed expansion area is a separate tax parcel that is not currently part of the applicant's
existing legal non -conforming property, but the City Attorney indicated that if there was contigu-
ous ownership of the property, which can be accomplished by combining the properties as one
taxing parcel, then it could be considered as an expansion of a legal non -conformity. Failure to
combine the parcels would prevent the conditional use on the expansion property.
When reviewing conditional use permits, the Planning Commission looks to Title 11-2-9F; Crite-
ria for Issuance of CUP, as the guiding doctrine for review. This section states that in granting a
CUP, the City Council shall find that:
1. The use will be in conformity with the City's Comprehensive Plan and with the purpose, intent
and applicable standards of this Title.
2. The use shall be located, designed, maintained and operated to be compatible with the existing
or intended character of that zoning district in which it is located.
3. The use shall not depreciate values of surrounding property.
4. The use shall not be hazardous, detrimental or disturbing to present and potential surrounding
land uses due to noises, glare, smoke, dust, odor, fumes, water pollution, vibration, general
unsightliness or other nuisances.
5. The use shall generate only minimal vehicular traffic on local streets as defined by the trans-
portation element of the Comprehensive Plan. The use shall not create traffic congestion,
unsafe access or parking needs that will cause inconveniences to the adjoining properties.
6. The use shall be served adequately by essential public services, such as streets, police, fire
protection and utilities.
7. The use shall not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities
and services and shall not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the City.
8. The use shall preserve and incorporate the site's important natural and scenic features into the
development design.
9. The use shall cause minimal adverse environmental effects.
10. The use shall not adversely affect the potential development of adjacent vacant land.

The City's Technical Review Committee reviewed this application under those criteria. The
Committee found that the criteria could be met and recommended approval of the CUP for the
requested phased expansion.
Site Plan
The proposed site plan includes the existing developed structures, parking, and storage areas
on the eastern portion of the site. The only changes proposed in this area are a new access
connection between the existing developed site and the new western expansion area and the
hard surfacing of the access lane in front of the property. The approval of the eastern storage
area in 2014 required that the storage area be reduced to behind the principal structure upon
ownership of the property. Ownership transfer has occurred, and the removal and restoration
will be a continued requirement for this review. The final grading/site plan will be required to
reflect this condition including the access drive extension.

sales/storage building must conform to the City's commercial architectural standards. It will re-
quire an administrative site plan review and building permits. Construction of this structure will
also require that all gravel storage areas on the western expansion site be hard surfaced with
concrete or bituminous and include concrete curb and gutters.

Fencing
The applicant is proposing to install galvanized chain link fencing similar to their existing fencing
around the exterior perimeter of the expansion areas. It is recommended that the front fence
along Highway 61 be constructed with ornamental fencing meeting the City's standard detail
plate for commercial properties or black vinyl -clad chain link fencing. The remaining fence mate-
rials shall meet the ordinance criteria related to commercial fencing.
Tree Preservation
Prior to making application with the City, the applicant removed a portion of the trees from the
site. Because of the post construction identification of this tree removal, the City Attorney nego-
tiated the payment of a tree mitigation fee of $7,000 and the planting of 11 Category B replace-
ment trees on site. This requirement must be satisfied prior to June 1, 2016.

Landscaping
A landscaping plan was submitted with the application materials and is detailed below.
r
Submitted Landscaping Plan
The storage and parking area is lacking a minimum of 8% vegetation cover. The Applicant is
requesting a variance from the minimum landscaping requirements which require 8 percent of
parking areas to be vegetated. It is recommended that additional landscaping be installed in the
in front of the employee parking lot, in the area between the proposed bituminous access drive
and around the display patio at the front of the main building. A final landscape plan shall be
submitted with the grading application.
Variance Reqest
Because this is being reviewed as a phased development project, the deviation from the parking
lot surface and curbing requirements for commercial properties is not being treated as a vari-
ance. Through the conditional use process, any additional development of the site will require
compliance with City ordinance criteria related to parking lot construction and architectural
design.
The variance being requested is from the City's requirements for landscaping coverage. With
any variance request, the Planning Commission must look to the zoning ordinance for guidance
and direction. City Code Title 11-2-7: Variances, states that:
A. Authority And Purpose: The council may grant variances from the strict application of the provisions of
this title and impose conditions and safeguards in the variances so granted in cases where there are
practical difficulties or particular hardships in the way of carrying out the strict letter of the regulations
of this title.

D. Consideration By Planning Commission; Recommendation: Before authorization of any variances, the
request therefor shall be referred to the planning commission, and for its recommendation to the city
council for the granting of such variance from the strict application of the provisions of this title so as
to relieve such practical difficulties to the degree considered reasonable without impairing the intent
and purpose of this title and the comprehensive plan. The planning commission shall recommend
such conditions related to the variance, regarding the location, character and other features of the
proposed building, structure or use, as it may deem advisable. The planning commission shall make
its recommendation within sixty (60) days after the request is referred to it, unless the applicant re-
quests, in writing, that an extension of time for review be granted by the planning commission.
The planning commission may recommend a variance from the strict application of the provision of
this title, if they find that:
1. The variance is in harmony with the purposes and intent of this title.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
3. The proposal puts the property to a reasonable use.
4. There are unique circumstances to the property not created by the landowner.
5. That the conditions upon which an application for a variance is based are unique to the parcel of
land for which the variance is sought and are not applicable, generally, to other property within
the same zoning classification.
6. That the purpose of the variance is not based exclusively upon a financial hardship.
7. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other
land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel of land is located.
8. That the proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent prop-
erty, or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire,
or endanger the public safety.
In reviewing the ordinance criteria in relation to this case, all criteria could be answered
affirmatively. The applicant's response to the ordinance criteria is attached.
Minor Subdivision Request
In 2014, the applicant obtained approval to expand the legal non -conforming use onto a leased
portion of the adjacent property to the east. One of the conditions of that approval was that upon
termination of the lease, the fence and gravel be removed, or that upon ownership, it would be
combined with the same taxing parcel as the principal use. The applicant has acquired the
leased property, and the minor subdivision application will allow for the parcel to be created to
facilitate the required lot combination. Stormw,

The area charge calculation that will be required

purposes.

Minor Subdivision Detail
Summary
• The operation of the current nonconforming use on the site has been conducted without any
negative consequences, and the proposed expansion is expected to operate in the same
fashion.
• The proposed commercial expansion is consistent with the designated land use.
• The proposed commercial expansion has been found to be consistent with the balance of
the criteria for issuing a conditional use permit.
Findings for Variance
A. Traffic flow would be hindered by inclusion of interior vegetative landscaped islands in the
exterior storage area.
B. The existing tree preservation areas provide adequate screening of the storage area.
C. The new required landscaping adjacent to the new employee parking area meets the
screening and shade intent and purpose of the landscape ordinance.
D. The ordinance allows up to 75 percent site coverage for buildings, parking, and other imper-
vious areas.
E. The rural location of the property and existing trees on the site after site development are
unique when compared with brownfield developments within the urban area.
F. The requested variance does not create any negative burdens or undue hardship on adja-
cent properties or the general public.

property. The applicant will simply extend the current use to include the remaining portion of lot
2 that has been used for residential purposes.
D. Applicants current use of the property has been in place for over thirty-one (3 1) years, and
there have been no adverse impacts.
E. The property access is from. highway 61. The applicant's property does not use any, city
streets, therefore there is no traffic congestion or unsafe access. All parking on the property is
accommodated with current parking or expansion as proposed under the submitted plan.
F. The Lot 1 building site is served by onsite septic system. The septic system was upgraded in
2009. The 1984 plat of the property was approved with access on a public right of way with
direct access to 61. Police and fire protection has been available to the property since the
original construction over thirty-one (31) years ago and there will be no additional demands for
city services.
G. The use of the westerly portion of lot 2 is residential, and is a non -conforming use, and will
changed to B-2. The use is the same that has existed on Lot 1 for over thirty-one (31) years.
There will be no further demands for public services beyond what is currently in place.
H. Most of the site has already been developed and in use for over thirty-one (31) years. The
grading and drainage plan submitted complies with the city's storm water plan, and onsite
ponding will be incorporated as part of the grading plan. The ponding will accommodate storm
water for any future building and asphalt parking lot, and storm water runoff for the land to the
north. The pond is designed so it will not have to be expanded if further improvements are
made. There are no natural or scenic features. The land to the southeast of the Seeger plat is
also zoned B-2. The expansion of the current use will not impact the adjacent property or its
future development.
I. There are no adverse environmental affects.
J. The plat of the Seeger addition dedicated right of way along the southeast edge of the
property and parallel to highway 61. That right of way will provide access to the adjacent
property without requiring any additional access points to highway 61.
A roadway easement dated December 31, 1973 recorded May 1, 1975 as document 40601 is in
favor of James J. Caturia and Margret A. Caturia. The easement grants a permanent roadway
easement beyond the right-of-way dedicated in the plat that extends the right-of-way from the
road and the right-of-way in the plat. The only use of that easement now is by people who farm
the property and use it for farm implement (mainly tractors).
The site current use is "self contained" and will use the current access from highway 61 and the
right of way dedicated in the plat for access. Therefore, there will be no impact on any adjacent
land that will negatively impact future development.
