At the December 6, 2006, meeting the City Council approved a 32-foot by 24- foot accessory structure on the subject property. The approval in 2006 also included an updated site plan that identified the location of the accessory structure as well as a future location for a parsonage house located on the west side of the subject property as shown below and in Attachment A. -- - -- - — - ;.Futum Parking _ _ —_ Proposed Accessory ------ _ _--_SWcture(24'X32') �- T —� X I Existing Church ` f pOt \ C �3P'CAC" W a �a�skp Parsonage � / House ParkingFuture and D BuildingExpanson _' I111111J111 IIIIJfJ.LI1LE.LL _ ' ' f - Future Expansion -----"-- Phase --- ----"--�-._...a ©j SITE PLAN ® Mth STREET SOUTH-- 2006 Site Plan However, since the parsonage house was not constructed within one year of the approvals in 2006, they are void per City Code Title 11-2-4. At this time, the Applicant is requesting an amended CUP to relocate an existing dwelling to the subject property. Property Characteristics The subject property is eight acres in size with access provided on 80th Street South. The exist- ing structures onsite are located in the center of the parcel and include a place of worship, play- ground, and accessory structures. The eastern section of the site is maintained as open field, and this is where the Applicant is proposing to locate the parsonage. Site Aerial Planning Staff Report — Planning Case CUP2022-043 Lighthouse Baptist Church — Amended Conditional Use Permit for Structure Relocation June 27, 2022 Page 3 of 5 Planning Considerations Ordinance Requirements The property is zoned R-1, Rural Residential, which permits places of worship with an approved CUP. A CUP allows for places of worship to have a dwelling related to a religious function on the same site provided that no more than 10 persons shall reside on the site, and no building shall be located within 50 feet of any lot line. The proposed dwelling is located 66 feet from the southern property line and significantly exceeds all other district minimum standards. The dwelling is planned to be occupied by a pastor. Updated Site Plan City Code Title 11-3-11 requires the Planning Commission and City Council to review and approve the relocation of a structure from one property to another within the community. The applicant is proposing to move an existing house currently located at 10350 Ideal Avenue to the subject site. The Applicant and/or the structure moving company is responsible for obtaining any required per- mits and associated fees or expenses incurred while moving the structure. The house, shown below, proposed to be relocated to the subject property is consistent with surrounding housing. Photo of the house to be moved Planning Staff Report — Planning Case CUP2022-043 Lighthouse Baptist Church — Amended Conditional Use Permit for Structure Relocation June 27, 2022 Page 4 of 5 Utilities The existing place of worship is served by an existing well and septic system. In 2020, as part of the 80th Street rehabilitation project, sanitary sewer and water was stubbed to the property. As this is a new building on the site, building code requires connection to City utilities. As part of this application, the proposed house will be connecting to City services. However, the existing church will not be connecting at this time. As a condition of approval, prior to the issuance of a building permit engineering staff shall review and approve the sewer and water connection plans. Public Hearing Notice and May 25 Planning Commission The public hearing notice was mailed to 70 properties within 500 feet of the subject property and was published in the St Paul Pioneer Press on May 11, 2022. However, prior to the May 25, 2022, Planning Commission meeting the Applicant requested the item be tabled to allow for the submittal of the currently proposed site plan. The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to table the item to the June 27, 2022, meeting. Because the item was tabled, State Statute does not require the public hearing notice to be published in newspaper. Staff did mail a public hearing notice with a revised site plan to all properties within 500 feet of the subject property on June 15, 2022. At the time of writing this staff report, staff has not received any comments. Recommendation That the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve an amended Condi- tional Use Permit and authorization to relocate an existing dwelling to the subject property lo- cated at 9979 80th Street South, subject to the following conditions: 1. The amended Conditional Use Permit is valid for one year unless a building permit has been issued. A written extension request can be submitted by the Applicant with approval required by the City Council. 2. Prior to relocating the house, the property owner of 10350 Ideal Avenue South is respon- sible for obtaining a demolition permit. The property owner is also responsible for capping any wells and removing any septic systems. 3. A building permit shall be issued for 9979 80th Street South prior to the house being relo- cated to the subject property. 4. The structure moving company shall obtain any required approvals or permits prior to re- locating the proposed structure. Approval and permitting agencies may include but are not limited to the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Xcel Energy, Washington County, MPCA, Canadian Pacific Railroad, and the City of Cottage Grove. 5. The structure moving company shall be responsible for contacting and notifying any resi- dential or commercial property owners that will be impacted by the relocation of the struc- ture two weeks prior to any moving activity. 6. The structure moving company shall provide seven business day notice to the City and impacted properties prior to the relocation of the structure.
