rental units or such areas of the rental dwelling as the City Administrator or their designee deems

DATE: November 21, 2007 for the November 27, 2007 City Council meeting
TO: Hutchinson City Council
FROM: Rebecca Bowers, AICP, Planning Director
SUBJECT: VARIANCE TO ALLOW PLACEMENT OF A212 SQ. FT. GAZEBO IN FRONT
YARD LOCATED AT THE OAKS ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY, 945 CENTURY
AVENUE SW.
Backaround:
The property owner is requesting a variance to allow construction of a 212 sq. ft. gazebo in the
front yard between The Oaks and The Pines Assisted Living facilities. The variance is needed
to allow the construction of an accessory building in a front yard and a second accessory
building with a size larger than 192 sq. ft. The applicant states that they need to have the
gazebo in the front yard in order to be in close proximity to both facilities.
Additional information is contained in the attached Planning Commission staff report.
Plannina Commission Meetina:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered the request at their
November 20,2007, meeting. There was no comment from the public, other than from the
applicant.
The Commission reviewed the variance request and determined that the request meets the
standards for granting a variance, including a finding of undue hardship and uniqueness due to
the need for the use of the gazebo by both facilities and the placement of The Oaks building on
the unusually shaped lot. The Commission also stated they wanted to add a hardship for not
meeting the size of the gazebo, specifically due to the geometry of the hexagonal shape ofthe
gazebo and functionally of the structure. The applicant stated that they need the gazebo to
be this size to have enough space for residents. They also want to improve the site with
landscaping and a garden.
Recommendation:
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the variance with the
findings and conditions in the attached resolution.

RESOLUTION NO. 13299
RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE TO ALLOW PLACEMENT OF A 212 SQ. FT.
GAZEBO IN THE FRONT YARD LOCATED AT 945 CENTURY AVENUE S.W.
Whereas, The Oaks, property owner, has requested approval ofa variance to allow placement ofa 212
square foot gazebo in the front yard. The variance is required to allow placement in the front yard and a
second accessory building over 192 square feet with the following legal description:
Legal Description: Lot 2, Block I, Welcome to Our Home Second Addition
Whereas, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the request on November 20, 2007, and
considered the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and effects of the proposal on the health, safety, and
welfare of the occupants of the surrounding lands, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, and the
effect on values of properties in the surrounding area and consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, and
hereby recommends approval of the request.
The City Council has considered the recommendation and findings of the Planning Commission and
hereby does recommend approval of the variance, subject to the following findings and conditions:
I. The standards for granting a variance have been met, including the fmding of undue hardship and
uniqueness due to the need for availability of the gazebo to both facilities and the unusually
shaped lot. A hardship for the size of the gazebo was also found due to the geometry of the
hexagonal shape of the gazebo and functionally of the structure. The unique characteristics of
the property were not created by the applicant and the proposed gazebo would not alter the
character of the locality.
2. Construction of the gazebo shall meet all other standards for accessory buildings in the Zoning
Ordinance, with the exception of the variance granted.
3. Removal and relocation (if necessary) of natural gas and electric will be at property owner's
expense.

buildings (such as a shed) up to 192 sq. ft. placed in the rear. Therefore, a variance is required
to allow construction in the front yard and a second accessory building over 192 sq. ft.
Variance:
In order to grant a variance, the request must meet the standards for granting a variance,
including a finding of undue hardship. Undue hardship is a legal standard set forth in MN
Statute that means that the property cannot be put to a reasonable use without the variance. This
factor means the landowner would like to use the property in a particular reasonable manner but
cannot do so under the rules of the ordinance. It does not mean the land cannot be put to any
reasonable use whatsoever without the variance.
The second undue hardship factor is the plight of the landowners is due to circumstances unique
to the property not created by the landowner. The uniqueness generally applies to physical
characteristics of the property and not to personal considerations of the landowner. Economic
considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use for the property
exists under the terms of the ordinance. Thirdly, the variance, if granted, will not alter the
essential character of the locality

. In reviewing the request, staff fmds that the request meets the standards for granting a variance,
including a finding of undue hardship and uniqueness due to placement of The Oaks building at
an angle on an unusually shaped lot and due to the need to place the gazebo in a location that can
be used by both facilities (see attached site plan). Additionally, the request would not alter the
character of the locality as the gazebo would be an added amenity to the property.
Staff reviewed the request at the October 29th staff meeting with no objections. Staff would
recommend approval of the variance to allow a gazebo in the front yard with the following
recommendations:
1. The standards for granting a variance have been met, including the fmding of undue
hardship and uniqueness due to the need for availability of the gazebo to both facilities
and the unusually shaped lot. The unique characteristics of the property were not created
by the applicant and the proposed gazebo would not alter the character of the locality.
2. Construction of the gazebo shall meet all other standards for accessory buildings in the
Zoning Ordinance, with the exception of the variance granted.
3. Removal and relocation (if necessary) of natural gas and electric will be at property
owner's expense.
4. No construction is allowed over any utilities, including natural gas or electric lines.

Additional information is contained in the attached Planning Commission staff report.
Plannlna Commission Meetlna:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered the request at their
November 20,2007, meeting. Commissioner Lofdahl abstained from this item due to
personal conflict. There was one resident who said she supports Beans Plus, however
expressed a concem over the steepness of Kouwe Street, particularly in the winter when it
is icy. The applicant stated they would make sure parents are aware of this possibility so
they may choose to use 5th Avenue rather than turn on Kouwe from Hwy 7. The City
Engineer addressed the salting and sanding of side streets. The Commission discussed
how the proposal complements the Hwy 7 Study and the specifics of the site. After
hearing information from the applicant, the Commission recommended approval.
Recommendation:
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the conditional use permit
with the findings and conditions in the attached resolution (Lofdahl abstaining).

Analysis and
Recommendation:
The C-5 (Conditional Commercial) zoning district requires approval of a conditional use permit

be allowed with a conditional use permit in this district under the "Trade and Services" or
"School" categories.
The property is located within the Highway 7 Corridor Study moratorium area, however CUPs
for change of use in existing buildings were exempted from the moratorium. In reviewing the
CUP, the Commission should consider if the proposal meets the standards for a CUP. A CUP
shall be granted only if evidence is presented to establish the following:
(a)
The proposed building or use at the particular 10cation requested is necessary or
desirable to provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of the public
convenience and will contribute to the general welfare of the neighborhood or
community;
The proposed building or use will not have a substantial or undue adverse effect
upon adjacent property, the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions,
utility facilities and other matters affecting the public health, safety and general
welfare; and
The proposed building or use will be designed, arranged and operated so as to
permit the development and use of neighboring property in accordance with the

The proposed plan shows areas for parking, pick up and drop off, and fenced playground (refer
to site plan). The property has two large parking areas on two levels (see attached photos),
separated by a retaining wall and stairs. A fenced playground would be constructed on a portion
of the lower parking level, adjacent to the building.
The zoning ordinance does not specify a parking requirement for a daycare, however schools are
specified at 1.6 parking spaces per classroom. With three classrooms, a minimum of five
parking spaces would be required by ordinance. The proposed parking would exceed this
requirement and has adequate parking for employees, parents, and visitors.
Staff reviewed the proposal at the planning staff meeting and did not raise any concerns over the
proposed use. Staff recommends approval of the CUP, with the following findings and
conditions:
1. The proposed use would be meet the standards for granting a conditional use
permit and would comply with the standards of the C-5 district.
2. The building must meet Building and Fire Codes for a day care prior to
occupation.
3. Approval of a sign permit is required prior to installation of any signage.
4. Approval of a fence permit is required prior to installation of any fencing.

Application: ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO UPDATE LANGUAGE IN
SECTION 154.170 REGARDING CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS
ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
Brief Description
Revisions to the conditional use permit ordinance are needed to bring it up to date with State
Statutes and to eliminate unnecessary requirements. The attached ordinance identifies language to
be removed (in strikethrollgH text) and proposed additions in underlined text.
.
Background:
A conditional use is defined in the Hutchinson Zoning Ordinance as "a use of land not normally
allowed in a particular zoning district but which may be allowed under certain conditions." In
general, conditional uses permits are a tool to expand the list of uses that may be allowed within a
zoning district, subject to meeting certain conditions. However, Hutchinson is somewhat unusual
in that the current I/C, C-5, Gateway, and R-4 zoning districts only have conditional uses and no
permitted uses.
A conditional use permit is a property right that "runs with the land", so it is attached as a benefit to
the land and is not limited to a particular landowner. State Statutes provide that a conditional use
permit shall remain in effect as long as the conditions agreed upon are observed. The current
ordinance does not allow this as it prohibits transfer of a conditional use permit to future property
owners. There are also several areas which specifY timeframes which are no longer accurate.
Ordinance Amendment:
The ordinance amendment corrects the inconsistencies with State Statutes noted above, adds an
explanation of purpose, removes duplicate or conflicting language with other parts of the Zoning
Ordinance such as the Planned Development District, e1iminates timeframes stated for review by
tying the timeframes to Statutes, and removes odd requirements such as "evidence of financial
capability". Changes were also made to clarifY the process, application, and recording
requirements, along with revising the order and other minor corrections for clarity.
.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance revisions as shown in the attached ordinance
amendment.

Memorandum

Mayor and City Council
Brenda K. Ewi~an Resources Director
City Employee Holiday Party
FROM:
RE:
DATE:
November 15,2007
The City of Hutchinson Employee Holiday Party is scheduled for Friday, December 14. In past
years, the cost for the party has been covered by funds paid by the attendees (employees and
retirees) and funds collected by the employees through previous snack sales. In 2006, the City
Council authorized using City funds to cover a portion of the cost.
It is requested that the Council again consider covering $3.00 of the cost of the party per person,
with the remainder of the cost to be paid with the employee snack funds. The City of
Hutchinson Personnel Policy - Employee Handbook does allow the following in regards to
employee events and the use of City funds:
Unless approved by the city administrator, no employee shall receive pay from the city in
addition to the salary authorized for the position to which the employee has been
appointed. However, compensation in the form of an annual picnic, holiday activity, or
tribute at a funeral, may be authorized by the city council to recognize the contributions
of employees and/or board members.
It is requested that you review and consider this requested use of City funds.
As the Council is invited to the annual Holiday Party, it is anticipated that the Council may
propose to set the time and location for the party as a meeting. The party is scheduled for Friday,
December 14,2007, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Hutchinson Event Center.
I plan to be in attendance at the Council meeting if you have any questions.

ITEM: Consideration of Fundamental Corporate Change of Transferring the
Assets From Hutchinson Telephone Company to ~ew Ulm Telecom, Inc.
BACKGROUND: In 2000, the City granted a cable television franchise to
Hutchinson Telephone Company. Hutchinson Telephone Company has been
sold to New Ulm Telecom, Inc. Under the Federal Cable Act and Minnesota
Statutes Chapter 238, New Ulm Telecom is required to file a FCC Form 394
requesting approval to transfer the cable franchise from Hutchinson Telephone
Company to New Ulm Telecom. One October 5,2007, New Ulm Telecom filed a
FCC Form 394 with the City. The City engaged the outside law firm of Bradley &
Guzzetta, LLC to assist the City in its review of this filing. Bradley & Guzzetta,
LLC has represented the City on cable television matters as outside counsel for
many years. When the City receives a FCC Form 394, the City must review the
new company's financial, legal, technical qualifications. Upon doing this, Bradley
& Guzzetta has recommended that they City conditionally approve the transfer
subject to certain conditions. These conditions include not waiving any rights the
City has regarding franchise compliance (e.g. underpayment of franchise fees),
requiring New Ulm Telecom to be bound to the same franchise terms and
conditions, requiring written financial guarantees by New Ulm Telecom, requiring
that New Ulm Telecom not increase rates for 3 years due to this transfer,
requiring the new company to be responsible for all past acts of the franchisee,
and requiring that New Ulm Telecom receive all necessary state and federal
approvals. The resolution also requires that all of the City's costs, including
attorneys fees, incurred in reviewing the FCC Form 394 be paid by New Ulm
Telecom.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Conditionally approve the transfer application of
New Ulm Telecom pursuant to the terms in the attached Resolution.

Airport Insurance Requirements
After discussions with Ann Stanton, Gallagher Risk Management Services; Marc Seborn, City
Attorney; Ken Merrill, Finance Director; Jeremy Carter; the Airport Commission and me, we
narrowed down one area of potential liability at the airport.
Recommended action: Amend changes to Paragraph 3.6 of the City's Hangar Rental Agreement to
read as follows:
LQ1 Insurance CO\lera'Ze. Occupants are required maintain insurance coverage required by MN Statutes
360.59 Subd 10.. as It may be amendedfrom time to time.
In addition, Occupants shall maintain insurance covering liability, bodily injury and property damages arising
out of the use of the premises where the aircraft is stored and shall provide the City, upon request, proof of
adequate and appropriate insurance coverage relating to use afthe premises where the aircraft is stored in the
amount of$300,000for calendar year 2008, $500,000 for calendar year 2009, and $1 million for years
thereafter.
Occupants waive subrogation rights against the City, except with regard to the City's gross negligence.
Occupants must ensure the City is provided notice of current certificates of insurance. Occupants must ensure
the City Is provided notice of policy cancel/ation. renewal, changes in coverage, or other actions related to
insurance coverage. Occupants agree to a/law the City to contact insurance companies and/or agents at any
time to determine if adequate coverage is inforce.
The City has constructed, owns, and operates four hangar buildings in which aircraft owners rent
storage space for their aircraft. The City has historically maintained 'hangar-keepers' insurance at
or above recommended coverage levels. However, a concern was raised in discussions relating to
potential bodily injury and property damage liability arising out of renter's use of the premises
where aircraft is stored.
While most renters may already have this type of coverage in their policies, this type of coverage is
not required by the State for registered aircraft. The concern is that there may be some renters
without coverage for potential bodily injury and property damage liability arising out of their use of
the premises where their aircraft is stored.
Therefore, the Airport Commission recommends the City of Hutchinson include the aforementioned
provision in lease documents with occupants of publicly-owned hangars requiring occupants to
show proof of insurance for liability arising out of their use of the premises where their aircraft is
stored.

With regard to other general areas of potential liability at the airport, discussions also identified
these general areas:
General Airoort Liability
This is the general liability incurred for having an airport, including necessary structures and
operations at the airport. The City secures coverage that meets or exceeds recommended levels
for an airport our size with our level of activity.
Aircraft Overations
This potential liability relates to aircraft operations at the airport. The State of Minnesota (MN
Statute 360.59, Subd. 10.) requires all aircraft operators to have basic coverage for their aircraft
in order to register and fly the aircraft. The insurance pilots are required to have on their aircraft
covers the liability of injuries of damages arising out of the use of the aircraft.
Storafle of Aircraft
Private Hanl1:ars on Leased Land
There are four private hangars on land leased from the City. Private parties construct, own and
operate their own storage hangars. Existing language in agreements with private hangar tenants
is adequate for the City's purposes.
.
A. The tenant agrees to defend. indemnifY and hold harmless, including reasonable altorneys' fees, the City
and all its agents and employees from any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action of
whatever naJure or for loss of or damage to property or injury to persons occurring on or about the above

tenant make any claim against the City for or on account of any injury, loss or damage resulting from the
tenant's property or use thereof, including any claims by third parties.
B. The tenant shall obtain and keep current a liability insurance policy with the City as a named additional
insured and shall be in aform acceptable to the City, Inability to keep adequate insurance coverage shall
be considered a default. After construction, minimum liability coverage shall be one million dol/ars
($1.000.000) per occurrence with one million dollars ($1.000,000) aggregate.
Citv-owned/operated Maintenance Hanl1:ar
The City owns, and operates a maintenance hangar under special agreement with the Fixed Base
Operator (FBO). Existing language included in the FBO agreement is adequate for the City's
purposes.
