BERRES CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the Richard Berres
conditional use permit and adopt the findings of fact.
Overview
Rick Berres has submitted an application for a conditional use permit to allow the construction
of a detached accessory building resulting in a total accessory building area greater than 1,100
square feet in area and a detached accessory building greater than 15 feet in height, on property
zoned RS-3, Single Family Residential District and located at 19848 Highview Avenue. The
proposed detached accessory building would include a 72’ x 44’ storage area and a 20’ x 20’
recreation room for a total of 3,568 square feet. Including the 672 square foot attached garage,
the total accessory building area will be 4,240 square feet. The application narrative describes the
request and the proposed use of the accessory building.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the conditional use permit application at
their April 20, 2017 meeting and unanimously recommended approval subject to eight
stipulations. There was no public comment.
Primary Issues to Consider
Does the proposed detached accessory building meet Zoning Ordinance requirements and will it
be compatible with properties? The Berres property is 10 acres in size. The proposed accessory
building is located more than 300 feet from other existing homes or future homes to the south or
east of the property. The accessory building will meet setback requirements for the RS-3 District.
The proposed accessory building will be compatible with the other single family homes in the area.

5. Richard Berres
Chair Swenson opened the public hearing to consider the application of Richard
Berres for a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a detached accessory
building exceeding the maximum allowable floor area and maximum building height in
the RS-3, Single Family Residential District located at 19848 Highview Avenue.
Richard Berres presented an overview of his project. Mr. Berres commented that they
have run their family dairy farm in Lakeville since 1962. They have started to develop
their land now so the existing farm buildings will be removed soon. He is requesting
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, April 20, 2017 Page 2
approval of the proposed detached accessory building because they need a place to
keep some of the current farm equipment after the existing farm buildings are
removed.
Associate Planner Frank Dempsey presented the planning report. Mr. Dempsey
stated that Richard Berres has submitted an application for a conditional use permit
(CUP) to allow the construction of a detached accessory building greater than 1,100
square feet in area and building height greater than 15 feet in the RS-3 District. The
applicant is proposing a storage area and a recreation room for a total 3,568 square
foot accessory building. The building would be used to store his small machinery that
he uses to maintain his property.
Mr. Dempsey described the existing conditions of the property. When the property
was subdivided in 2000 a stipulation required that a small notch of property along the
north property line be deeded to the property owner to the north to eliminate an
accessory building encroachment. The notch of property was subdivided but the
combination with the property to the north did not occur. Mr. Dempsey stated that the
lot combination must occur prior to issuance of a building permit for the new accessory
building.
Mr. Dempsey stated that the existing driveway is unpaved and considered legal non-
conforming. The accessory building will be located behind the house. Staff supports
the driveway extension to serve the accessory building be gravel to match the existing
driveway. The proposed driveway will not interfere with the private sanitary sewer
system located south of the house.
A stipulation of the CUP requires the detached accessory building be removed from
the subject property when the subject property is subdivided into additional residential
lots.
Mr. Dempsey reviewed the criteria for a CUP for an accessory building, which are
listed in the April 14, 2017 planning report.
Mr. Dempsey stated that staff recommends approval of the Richard Berres CUP
subject to the 8 stipulations listed in the April 14, 2017 planning report, and approval
of the Findings of Fact dated April 20, 2017.
Chair Swenson opened the hearing to the public for comment.
There were no comments from the audience.
Motion was made by Kelvie, seconded by Lillehei to close the public hearing at
6:11 p.m.

• The Planning Commission likes the orientation of the proposed accessory
building and appreciated that Mr. Dempsey provided an updated list of CUP
requests for accessory buildings that have been approved in the past.

INTRODUCTION
Rick Berres has submitted an application for a conditional use permit to allow the construction
of a detached accessory building resulting in a total accessory building area greater than 1,100
square feet in area and building height greater than 15 feet, on property located at 19848
Highview Avenue. The proposed detached accessory building would include a 72’ x 44’ storage
area and a 20’ x 20’ recreation room for a total of 3,568 square feet. Including the 672 square foot
attached garage, the total accessory building area will be 4,240 square feet. The application
narrative describes the request and the proposed use of the accessory building.
The following exhibits are attached for your review:
Exhibit A – Location/Zoning Map
Exhibit B – Aerial Photo Map
Exhibit C – Applicant Narrative
Exhibit D – Certificate of Survey
Exhibit E – Building Floor and Elevation Plan (2 Pages)
Exhibit F – Berres Ridge Ghost Plat, including the subject Berres parcel
Exhibit G – List of approved conditional use permits for accessory buildings – 1981 to present
PLANNING ANALYSIS
Existing Conditions. The subject property is 10.14 acres in area and includes a single family
home constructed in 2001. The property was subdivided by approval of an administrative
subdivision in 2000. The parent parcel of the property was the Berres farm which is now partially
platted and developed as the Berres Ridge single family development and the St. John’s Lutheran
Church property at 202nd Street (CSAH 50) developed in 2007. Aside from Mr. Berres’s single
family home property, the Berres family continues to own and maintain approximately 100 acres
over five parcels north of 202nd Street and west of Hamburg Avenue.
When the subject property was subdivided in 2000, a stipulation required that the small (71’ x
20’) notch of property along the north property line be deeded to the property owner to the north
to eliminate the encroachment of the neighbor’s existing storage shed onto the Berres property.
The notch of property was subdivided but the combination with the property to the north did
not occur. The lot combination shall occur prior to issuance of a building permit for the new
accessory building.
Adjacent Land Uses. The subject property is zoned RS-3, Single Family Residential District.
Adjacent land uses and zoning are as follows:
North – Single family homes (RS-3)
East – Undeveloped, planned for future single family homes in Berres Ridge (RS-3)
South – Under development for single family homes in Berres Ridge 2nd Addition (RS-3)
West – Highview Avenue and single family home lots (RS-3)
Setbacks. The minimum setback for the detached accessory building from the side and rear lot
lines is 10 feet. The proposed building will be located behind the house and will be set back 45
feet from the side (north) property line, 197 feet from the south (side) property line and 550 feet
from the rear (east) property line.
Accessory Building Use. The applicant’s narrative states that the new accessory building will be
used to store maintenance equipment and agricultural machinery and other personal related
items. A stipulation of the conditional use permit will require that no commercial use or storage
of commercial materials or equipment occur in the accessory building as required by the Zoning
Ordinance.
2
Screening. A staggered row of evergreen trees is currently located along the north boundary of
the subject property which provides screening for the single family home to the north.
Future Highview Avenue and Hexham Way. Highview Avenue is an unimproved gravel
surface road that serves the subject property, two properties to the west and two properties to the
north. As development occurs to the east, north and on the subject property, Highview Avenue
could eventually be decommissioned adjacent to the subject property and a future road will then
bisect the subject Berres property east and west as shown on Exhibit F. Hexham Way will extend
through the subject property north and south.
Driveway. The existing driveway is unpaved and is considered legal non-conforming as a pre-
existing condition from when the property was agricultural property located outside the MUSA.
Since Highview Avenue is not anticipated to be improved in the future and since the existing
driveway is not paved, staff supports the driveway extension to serve the accessory building be
gravel to match the existing driveway. The accessory building will be located behind the house
and will be accessed by a gravel driveway with a slope not to exceed 10% as required by the
Zoning Ordinance. The proposed driveway will not interfere with the private sanitary sewer
system located south of the house.
Future Development of the Subject Parcel. Due to future plans for subdivision of the subject
property as shown on the ghost plat and the incompatibility of a detached accessory building of
this size in a developed single family residential neighborhood, a stipulation of the conditional
use permit requires the detached accessory building be removed from the subject property when
the subject property is subdivided additional residential lots.
Appearance. The Zoning Ordinance requires that the same or similar quality and scale exterior
building materials shall be used in the new accessory building as is used in the principal building.
The proposed accessory building will include board and batten Smart Side (composite) siding
and asphalt shingles, with colors consistent with the architecture of the single family home on the
property.
Building Height. A maximum building height of 15 feet is allowed for detached accessory
buildings in the RS-3 District. The total building height, as defined by the Zoning Ordinance,
will be approximately 18 feet which requires approval of a conditional use permit.
Sanitary Sewer. Private sanitary sewer serves the existing house. No sanitary sewer is proposed
or allowed to the accessory building.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ANALYSIS
3
The Zoning Ordinance allows the accessory building area requirement to be exceeded by
conditional use permit subject to the following criteria as listed in Section 11-18-5:
A. There is a demonstrated need and potential for continued use of the structure for the
purpose stated.
The property owner has indicated a need for the proposed accessory building for the storage of
maintenance equipment and for use of a personal recreation room.
B. No accessory building or private garage shall be utilized for all or a portion of a home
occupation, for commercial activities or for commercial storage.
The applicant indicates that the accessory building will be used to store personal vehicles and
equipment. No home occupation or storage of commercial vehicles or equipment is allowed in
any accessory building on the property.
C. The accessory building has an evident reuse or function related to a single-family
residential environment in urban service areas or hobby farm environment in
nonurban service areas of the city.
The proposed accessory building will be slightly larger but fairly consistent with other similar
approved conditional use permits in the city on a 10 acre parcel. Attached Exhibit G is a list
of accessory building conditional use permits approved since 1981. The total accessory
building area will be less than 1% of the area of the property.
D. Detached accessory buildings shall be maintained in a manner that is compatible with
the adjacent residential uses and does not present a hazard to public health, safety and
general welfare.
The proposed detached accessory building will be in a location on the property that is set
back a considerable distance from any nearby homes and will be compatible with adjacent
properties.
E. The performance standards and criteria of section 11-4-7 of this title shall be
considered and a determination made that the proposed activity is in compliance with
such criteria.
The provisions of section 11-4-7 of the Zoning Ordinance (Conditional Use Permits) have
been considered and satisfactorily met. Please refer to the attached findings of fact.
RECOMMENDATION
4
Planning Department staff recommends approval of the Berres conditional use permit to allow
