Overview Tove Johnson has submitted an application for a conditional use permit to allow the operation of a commercial horse boarding stable for up to 40 horses. The property is 9.66 acres in the RA, Rural Agricultural District and located at 8229 — 190th Street. The property is owned by Bjorn and Jennifer Vogen. Bjorn Vogen is the brother of the applicant, Tove Johnson. The property currently consists of an existing single family home and several accessory buildings. A new 9,120 square foot pole -type horse barn is proposed in conjunction with the horse stable. Indoor and outdoor riding areas, open pasture areas and three -sided horse shelters in the pastures are included on the north and south sides of the property. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the conditional use permit at their November 18, 2010 meeting and recommended approval on a 3 -1 vote. There was public comment at the public hearing from one person. The Planning Commission amended Stipulations 5 and 10 from the November 10, 2010 planning report concerning manure hauling and removal of an existing semi - trailer. Since the public hearing, the following stipulations or parts of stipulations have been addressed: Stipulation 10 — Staff has confirmed that the fire truck has been removed from the property. Stipulation 12 — A copy of the signed and recorded shared driveway easement has been submitted. Ms. Johnson has also submitted a request to have two additional horse loafing sheds in the two rear pasture areas. The loafing sheds are movable and are 10' x 12' and 10' x 20" in size. The sheds will not be visible from the street. Also, the neighbor that spoke at the public hearing has submitted an email stating that she no longer has concerns regarding the conditional use permit as proposed. A copy of her emails is attached.

Ayes: Maguire, Lillehei, Adler, Glad. Nays: 0 4 , ITEM 6. TOVE JOHNSON Vice Chair Lillehei opened the public hearing to consider a Conditional Use Permit to allow the following, located at 8229 - 190th Street: A. A commercial horse stable in the RA District. B. More than one horse per acre on a 10 acre lot. C. More than one detached accessory building with a combined area greater than 8,712 square feet in the RA District. The Recording Secretary attested that the legal notice had been duly published in accordance with State Statutes and City Code. Ms. Johnson presented an overview of her request, including background information on the property and her plans for the property. Ms. Johnson referred to Stipulation 10 in the planning report and indicated that the fire truck is now gone. Stipulation 10 also refers to a semi - trailer that shall be removed by December 31, 2010. She is requesting that this be allowed to stay until the proposed pole barn is built as they are using the semi - trailer for the shavings which will eventually be stored in the pole barn. Ms. Johnson stated that she met with Sherry Hauck and feels that they have come up with an agreement regarding the driveway concerns. Ms. Johnson understands her neighbors' concerns and wants to be a good neighbor. She indicated that a lot of time and effort has been put into her proposal and thanked the Planning Commission for their consideration. Vice Chair Lillehei opened the hearing to the public for comment. Andrew Abeln, 24705 Blaine Avenue Planning Commission Meeting November 18, 2010 Page 4 Associate Planner Frank Dempsey presented the planning report. Mr. Dempsey stated that Planning Department staff recommends approval of the Tove Johnson conditional use permit subject to the 16 stipulations listed in the November 10, 2010 planning report, and adoption of the Findings of Fact dated November 18, 2010. Mr. Abeln is one of Ms. Johnson's horse trainers and is a resident of Farmington. He indicated that he has trained horses his whole life and went to college for horse training and horse management. He supports Ms. Johnson's application. 10.55 Motion was made and seconded to close the public hearing at 6:45 p.m. Ayes: Lillehei, Adler, Glad, Maguire. Nays: 0 Vice Chair Lillehei asked for comments from the Planning Commission. Discussion points were: • There was discussion regarding the driveway agreement between the applicant and the Haucks. Mr. Morey stated that an additional sentence could be added to Stipulation 12 of the planning report to reference the proposed driveway relocation subject to staff review. • Mr. Morey stated that leaving the semi - trailer on the property until the proposed pole barn is constructed is acceptable and suggested that Stipulation 10 of the planning report could be amended to require removal of the semi - trailer from the property within 30 days following the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the pole barn. • An extensive discussion took place regarding the applicant's manure management techniques. Ms. Johnson indicated that in the winter months, they store the manure outside because everything is frozen and there is no foul odor. During the spring and fall, they spread the manure on the adjacent farm fields. The 80 -90 days when the farm fields are growing crops and unavailable for manure spreading they store the manure in dumpsters and have it hauled away. • Pasture management was discussed. Ms. Johnson explained how the horses are rotated between the different pastures so seeding, weeding and rest segments can take place periodically among each of the pasture areas. Not all nine acres of pasture will be in use at any given time. • Vice Chair Lillehei allowed Sherry Hauck to come to the podium to explain her letter that was distributed at tonight's meeting. Ms. Hauck indicated that she and the applicant tried to quickly come up with an agreement for Planning Commission Meeting November 18, 2010 Page 5 their driveways to be off -set so that headlights from vehicles exiting Ms. Johnson's property are not shining directly into her home. They were not able to determine an off -set driveway distance prior to the Planning Commission meeting but she felt that they would be able to reach consensus on an appropriate distance. Ms. Johnson agreed to revise her survey showing the driveway relocation for staff review prior to consideration of her CUP by the City Council. • There was further discussion regarding whether the driveway relocation should be made a stipulation of the Planning Commissions recommendation on this CUP. Commissioner Glad suggested that the entire driveway should meet the five foot setback requirement of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Dempsey indicated that it is not unusual to have shared driveways in the rural areas of the City. • Mr. Morey suggested an amendment to Stipulation 5 that the hauling of manure shall occur weekly only during the spring and summer months when spreading the manure on adjacent farm fields is not an available option. 10.56 Motion was made to table this agenda item to a future Planning Commission meeting. There was no second so the motion failed. 10.57 Motion was made and seconded to recommend to City Council approval of the Tove Johnson Conditional Use Permit to allow: A. A commercial horse stable in the RA District, B. More than one horse per acre on a 10 acre lot, and C. More than one detached accessory building with a combined area greater than 8,712 square feet in the RA District, subject to the following stipulations, and adoption of the Findings of Fact dated November 18, 2010: 1. A maximum of 40 horses shall be permitted on the property at any time. 2.

Ex- Officio Bussler excused himself from the meeting at 7:40 p.m. Dempsey, Frank From: Sherry Hauck [plx @frontiernet.net] Sent: Monday, November 29, 2010 4:18 PM To: Dempsey, Frank Subject: re; Hauck concerns for 8229 190th street West Hi Frank, Just a note to confirm that I have meet with Tove Johnson and Bjorn Vogen regarding the issues of headlights and traffic disturbances to our property as a result of the increased activity at 8229 190th street. They have committed to move the driveway 30 feet to the west to alleviate the problem and suggested that they may be able to transfer trees from their father's property to shield the approaching lights. I greatly appreciate their acknowledgement of the problem and their commitment to resolve it. I have no intention of bringing any other issues to the city's attention and am satisfied to have my concerns taken care of. I wish them the best of luck in their venture. Sherry Hauck 952- 469 -5059 11/30/2010 Page 1 of 1 Dempsey, Frank From: Sherry Hauck [plx @frontiernet.net] Sent: Friday, November 12, 2010 10:14 AM To: Dempsey, Frank Subject: re: Objections to horse property at 8229 190th Street Dear Mr. Dempsey, Here's why: I am submitting an objection to the conditional use permit for the property located at 8229 190th St West. My residence and the lifestyle I live will be impacted everyday in a distressing manner if such a permit is approved. • Our home lines up exactly with their new drive way, which has been created by an easement. Our home is close to the road and the effects of this are as follows: • The headlights of this traffic enters our living room every time someone leaves the property. The lights are a significant annoyance NOW and with the possibility of 40 boarders and additional traffic for those coming to take riding lessons it is beyond what should be expected in a residential setting. Every vehicle has to stop at end of the driveway before turning and that creates a floodlight effect for us each and every night. • My residence is subjected to ALL traffic entering and leaving the property. Because of our location, no one can enter or leave without yielding at the point of our driveway. This includes cars, horse trailers, hay trucks and tractors. These are the issues that MOST concern me and will change my surroundings from a quiet, country setting to a busy commercial setting. I can tolerate the other consequences of the new use of the property.(Such as loose horses and parking on the street which happens now but are expected and not a big issue) While I support Tove Johnsons interest in boarding horses I cannot support it to the demise of my surroundings and home. Please consider my position. I am proposing that conditions be outlined as a comprise and consideration to all it effects: Limiting the number of horses. 11/30/2010 Page 1 of 2 (A secondary concern is the total number of horses when you combine Golden Ridge stables current 34 with another possible 40. My property is the lowest laying property and all runoff from 8229 190th is diverted through culverts to my property, a public stream and my pond. This is the lay of the land, I understand, but worth mentioning as it is much manure and urine seeping into water resources. ) Thank you for reviewing my objection, Sherry and Sam Hauck 8200 190th Street West Lakeville, Mn 55044 952 -46 -5059 /cell: 952- 454 -2736 email: Plx @frontiernet.net 11/30/2010 Restricting traffic to only boarders and not allow outside lesson traffic. *Or have the driveway diverted.

A commercial horse stable in the RA District. 2. More than one horse per acre on an approximately 9.66 acre lot. 3. More than one detached accessory building with a combined area greater than 8,712 square feet in the RA District. INTRODUCTION Tove Johnson has submitted an application for a conditional use permit to allow the above described uses as part of a request to operate a commercial horse boarding stable for up to 40 horses. The property is a legal non - conforming 9.66 acre parcel of record in the RA, Rural Agricultural District and is located at 8229 — 190th Street on the north side of 190 Street and approximately three - tenths of a mile east of Highview Avenue. The property is owned by Bjorn and Jennifer Vogen. Mr. Vogen is the brother of the applicant, Tove Johnson. The property currently consists of an existing single family home and a 960 square foot attached garage, an 864 square foot storage shed and a 5,600 square foot horse barn. The new detached accessory building would be a 9,120 square foot, 20 foot tall horse barn located north of the existing horse barn. Indoor and outdoor riding areas and open pasture areas are included on the north and south sides of the property. EXHIBITS The following exhibits are attached for your review: Exhibit A — Location /Zoning Map Exhibit B — Aerial Photo Exhibit C — Certificate of Survey and Site Plan Exhibit D — Applicant Narrative Exhibit E — Proposed Horse Barn Building Plans (3 Pages) Exhibit F — Veterinarian Letter and Horse Care Letter (2 Pages) Exhibit G — List of CUPs approved for accessory buildings — 1981 to present. BACKGROUND The existing 9.66 acre parcel, the house and outbuildings were previously under the ownership of the Jack Roberts family who also owned the 10 acre property, horse barn and commercial riding stable to the west until the early 1990's. In the mid- 1970's a 14,000 square foot horse barn was constructed on the parent parcel. Shortly thereafter, Roberts subdivided his property to create two parcels whose shared property lines jogged around the large horse barn. The existing home on the subject property was constructed in 1971 together with the 864 square foot shed and some smaller detached accessory buildings. The existing 5,600 square foot barn was built after 1974. The house is served by a regulation compliant private sanitary septic system and well. The well was recently tested and was shown to be safe and suitable for human consumption. Adjacent Land Uses. Adjacent land uses and zoning are as follows: North — Undeveloped Agricultural Property (RA District) East — Single Family Home (RA District) South — 190 Street, Single Family Homes (RA District) West — Single Family Home and Commercial Riding and Boarding Stable (RA District) APPLICATION ANALYSIS Chapter 18, Section 5 of the Zoning Ordinance allows accessory building requirements to be exceeded by conditional use permit subject to the following criteria: A. There is a demonstrated need and potential for continued use of the structure for the purpose stated. The property owner is requesting the additional horse barn and shelter building to board up to 40 horses. The property is guided and zoned for agricultural use and 2 is located in the Urban Reserve of the Staged MUSA Expansion Areas. The proposed building and the commercial boarding stable are consistent with other buildings and a commercial riding stable in the area. The horse barn will be a pole barn type construction with finished steel siding and a finished steel roof and will be 24 feet tall at the peak. The total proposed building height as defined by the Zoning Ordinance will be 20 feet, which meets Zoning Ordinance requirements for the RA District. The proposed horse barn building materials and colors must be consistent and compatible with other existing buildings on the property. 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 horse barn is proposed to be used solely as a commercial boarding stable as allowed by conditional use permit in the RA District. No home occupation or storage of home occupation equipment or vehicles not associated with the horse boarding facility is permitted 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 property is in a large rural area of the City with hobby farms and agricultural farms in the vicinity. The 2030 Land Use Plan guides the subject property and other properties in the area for rural agricultural uses which are located in the Urban Reserve of the Staged MUSA Expansion Areas. Exhibit H is a list of accessory building conditional use permits approved from 1981 through present. 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. All accessory buildings shall be maintained in a manner that is compatible with the adjacent residential uses and does not present a hazard to public heath, safety and general welfare. Ms. Johnson's narrative describes a manure management plan that includes the temporary stockpiling of the manure on the property, spreading on adjacent agricultural properties with permission from the property owners or hauling with a certified hauler when the manure cannot be spread on the adjacent fields. Hauling would occur weekly when manure cannot be spread on adjacent fields. 3 The University of Minnesota Agricultural Extension Service indicates that a typical horse, which weighs about 1,000 pounds, produces between 45 and 55 pounds of manure per day, or around nine tons per year or about 360 tons annually by a 40 horse facility. Spreading on agricultural property and hauling are typical methods for disposing of manure in Dakota County according to the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District. The pastures shall be managed to allow continuously growing ground cover to prevent exposed soils and to prevent soil erosion. Manure and pasture management shall be according to the recommendations outlined by the University of Minnesota Extension Service. Best management practices for insect control as recommended by the University of Minnesota Agricultural Extension Service shall also be followed. A handicap accessible satellite toilet will be installed inside the proposed (or existing) horse barn. The satellite toilet shall be maintained and serviced regularly. 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. Existing Zoning Ordinance Non - Conformities. There are four existing non- conforming conditions on the property: 1. The property is a legal non - conforming lot 9.66 acres in area. The minimum lot area is 10 acres in the RA District. 2. The existing horse barn does not meet the 10 foot accessory building setback to the east property line. 3. There is currently more than one detached accessory building on the property. 4. Fence and driveway encroachments. 5. Fire truck and semi - trailer parked on the property. Lot Area and Width. The property is 9.66 acres in area and 329 feet in width. The lot width meets the minimum 300 foot width requirement for parcels in the RA District. The 9.66 acre parcel is considered legal non - conforming. The minimum lot area requirement in the RA District is 10 acres. Single Family Home. The existing house is proposed to be occupied by a single family as outlined in the applicant's narrative. The house shall only be occupied by a single family and in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. 4 Accessory Building Area. The Zoning Ordinance allows a maximum of 8,416 square feet or 2% of the lot area for accessory building space on a 9.66 acre lot within the RA District. The existing and proposed accessory buildings on the property would total 16,760 square feet in area (3.98% of the lot area) and would include the following: Existing Attached Garage — 960 square feet Existing Shed — 864 square feet Existing Horse Barn — 5,600 square feet Proposed Horse Barn — 9,120 square feet Two Existing Three -sided Horse Shelters in Pasture — 216 square feet (108 sf each) Setbacks. The proposed horse barn must be set back 30 feet from the front property line, 10 feet from the side and rear property lines, and 10 feet from any other building on the property. The location of the proposed horse barn meets the accessory building setback requirements. The existing three -sided lean -to horse shelters are designed to be moved to different areas of the property and pasture if needed. The lean -to shelters shall meet setback requirements at all times. Access. The property is accessed from a driveway at 190 Street. The driveway is located on the east property line and is shared between the two properties. A shared driveway easement is required. A copy of the signed easement must be submitted to the City prior to City Council consideration of the conditional use permit. Vehicle Parking. There is space designated for 10 visitor vehicles adjacent to the existing barn on the east side of the property. The applicant believes this provides adequate parking area for guest and employee vehicles. Guest vehicles associated with the commercial stable are not permitted to park on any public street while occupying the subject property. Ms. Johnson's narrative indicates that they anticipate little traffic as this will be a boarding facility and riding lessons for the owners of horses boarded on the property. There will be no horse shows or events at this facility that will bring additional visitors to the property. Fences. All fences shall be kept in good condition at all times to prevent horses from leaving the confines of the property. The site plan shows existing fences crossing the east property line that is shared with the applicant's parents. 5 Signs. The Zoning Ordinance allows one sign up to 32 square feet in area and eight feet in height in the RA District. A sign permit must be approved by the City prior to installation of any signs. Adjacent Commercial Riding Facility. The Golden Ridge Stables commercial horse boarding and riding facility to the west at 8315 — 190 Street has been in operation since a conditional use permit was approved 1973 as Shiloh Stables. The 1973 conditional use permit expired in 1975 and was not renewed until after the new and current owners purchased the property in 1993.

The property was purchased in late December of 2009. We grew up next door to this property and our parents still reside there. Since purchase we have been keeping our family's horses on the property and evaluating potential long -term plans for the property. We are applying to operate a quality horse boarding facility for up to 40 horses as well as construct a 60' x 152' steel and wood frame pole building. The property contains a single family home which currently is rented out to a family of five who have two horses on the property. They provide assistance with care and supervision of the horses 24 hours a day. We will continue to have a renter in the house that has knowledge of horses and the property so they can do late night checks and handle any issues that may arise during the overnight hours and when other staff would not be present. The property currently has a barn with 9 stalls, a tack room, and an indoor riding arena measuring 96' x 40'. There is also a second small steel building which previously was used as a workshop. Since purchasing the property we have significantly improved it, thus enhancing the neighborhood. We have cleaned up a large amount of refuse, improved the pastures, cleared brush from fence lines and upgraded the fencing, improved the footing and rails of the outdoor arena, and upgraded the driveway from a dirt path to a properly draining driveway. We have also repaired the interior of the barn and shed as well as fixed roof leaks on the barn, replaced windows, added adequate lighting, and repaired the floor of the barn in the stalls and alleyway. Our goal is to run a quality horse boarding and training facility. We will provide boarding for the horses: primarily with a stall that the horse is brought into each night, fed, spends the night, fed in the morning and then turned outside for a portion of the day. During the day these horses will typically be worked by a Professional Trainer as well as ridden several times each week by their owner. A smaller portion of the horses will live outdoors in a pasture area with a three sided loafing shed for protection from the elements. These horses are fed grain twice a day and when there is limited grass in the pastures they are provided with hay 24 hours per day. The typical horses we expect to board are stock type horses that are actively involved in being trained and /or shown. It is typical for many of these horses to spend a large portion of the day in a stall except while being ridden. We anticipate having two professional trainers on staff that will work with and care for the horses. We have researched proper pasture management and routinely drag the pastures to minimize any manure buildup. We also routinely spray for weeds, cut the grass, fertilize, overseed, and rest the pastures as necessary. We have brought the pastures to proper condition and have done a good job at maintaining them. With a larger number of horses on the property we feel we still will be able to maintain them in proper condition by continuing the routine management schedule we have started as well as rotating pastures and utilizing dry lots. EXHIBIT D All stalls will be cleaned on a daily basis. Manure will be deposited daily in an unobtrusive location on the property. Periodically manure will be hauled away and spread on the fields to the north of the property. This field is owned by Joe Miller who has given us permission to spread manure on his fields as needed. This is primarily done throughout the spring and fall while there are not crops planted on the fields and snow does not prohibit us from entering the fields. This system has worked well this year given the number of horses we have had on the property. Due to the increased amount of manure generated by the additional horses, if needed, we are prepared to utilize a commercial dumpster system and have a refuse company haul it away weekly. We are requiring that all horses on the property follow a strict vaccination and worming schedule that has been created for us by Cleary Lake Veterinary Clinic. AU horses are required to follow this schedule in order to remain on the property. We will schedule routine veterinary and farrier visits that all boarders may sign up to participate in or they may schedule their own. However they MUST keep their horses up to date on all veterinary and hoof care or they will be asked to leave. We have a very good working relationship with the staff at Cleary Lake Veterinary Clinic and will continue to maintain this in order to provide the healthiest environment possible for the horses. We will provide a handicapped accessible Satellite restroom for the use of the owners of the horses on the property. This restroom will be located inside the proposed Pole Barn on the southwest end. There is parking around the exterior of the barn. We do not expect that we will generate a noticeable increase in traffic in the neighborhood. We will not be providing an hourly lesson program, horse shows or events with a large number of people in attendance. Our prospective customers will be owners of the horses and a number of them will have two or more horses thus generating even fewer cars. We are requesting approval to build a 60' x 152' steel and wood frame Pole Barn. This space would be used as an indoor riding arena. This building will be located due north of the current barn and will run north and south. The siding of this building will match as closely as possible the siding on the existing buildings. The proposed location of this building is at the rear of the property and not visible from the road or any surrounding homes. The current arena measuring 40'x96' will have approximately 20 stalls installed as well as tack and feed storage. We will also add a ventilation system and windows providing natural light. Our ultimate goat is to provide a healthy and safe environment for both horse and rider as well as enhance the property and continue to be a good neighbor to the community.
