Keller explained that the owners of Cherrico Pottery requested to amend their Special Home Occupation
license for their pottery business at 29055 County Road 121. The amendment to the original resolution
approved in 2025 came forward due to a requested change to the limit of four maximum on-site and inperson retail sales events in a calendar year to twelve on-site and in-person retail sales.
Commission discussion focused on event attendance, parking availability, and how prior events impacted
neighbors.
Property owner Joel Cherrico addressed questions, providing information on the success of past events
and information regarding attendance and parking for the events.

7b Country Manor Senior Living Campus PUD Amendment & Variance for Street Yard Setback
Keller explained that Country Manor was seeking approval of an amendment to the initial PUD which was
approved for 168 total units and was proposed to be decreased to 124 total units. He also explained that
a portion of the new planned building’s setback would be less than the minimum 30-foot requirement.
Approval of a variance to allow this setback. Since there is a change in the number of total units, a
change in design, and a variance to the street yard setback, the proposal was brought to the PC.
Commission discussion focused on future implications of the setback variance, construction dates, and
whether those involved in creating and revising the plan were aware of the 30-foot setback requirement.

7c La Playette – Outdoor Dining Patio Proposed Structure
Keller explained La Playette has been operating a seasonal outdoor patio blocking off parking spaces in
the rear of their property with approval by the PC and Council in 2024. At the time of approval, the owners
indicated that they intended to pursue a permanent structure. Approval of such a structure, since it would
impact parking spaces, requires PC and Council approval. The applicant is seeking approval of the
proposed structure and waiver of required parking spaces.
Owner Shawn Riesner addressed questions on the proposed structure, explaining the structure has the
option to be enclosed, and concerns about impacts on parking spaces.
Mooney made a motion to approve the proposed structure and waive the required parking spaces.
The motion was seconded by Thompson and passed unanimously.

MEETING DATE:
AGENDA ITEM:
ACTION REQUESTED:

July 13th, 2026
7a and 7b
7a – approval on resolution PC2026-009
7b - none

PREVIOUS PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
7a – Planning Commission originally approved the Conditional Use Permit unanimously at the October
9th , 2023 Planning Commission. A public hearing was conducted at this meeting (no one spoke). The
item was then approved by the Council. An extension was then requested in September 2024 as the
C.U.P. was set to expire in Nov of 2024. The extension extended the permit to Oct. 31st, 2026.
7b – none this was a Council directed and approved item
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
7a – Summit Commons is seeking an second extension to their C.U.P. permit. Original permit was
approved in 2023 and then extended in 2024 to Oct. 31st 2026. The requested extension is for an
additional two years which would push out the C.U.P. until Oct. 31st, 2028. It should be noted that the
applicant has done some of the required plantings of the Wobegon trail so some progress has been made.
The additional two years will also allow more time for the plantings to grow. The applicant has submitted
a letter stating the request and reasonings.
7b – At the June 15th Council meeting the Council approved two moratoriums.
The first is a moratorium on multi-family housing within properties that are zoned R-3 or
proposed to be rezoned to R-3. The moratorium is set to last for one year unless Council repeals it
before one year. More information will be provided to Commission at the meeting.
The 2nd moratorium is for Data Centers. The moratorium prevents any projects that would
propose a land use application for a Data Center (as defined in the moratorium) in moving
forward during the duration of the moratorium. More information will be provided to
Commission at the meeting.

Re: Conditional Use Permit Extension Request – Summit Commons, LLC
Dear Mr. Keller,
My name is Mark Lambert, and I am the owner of Summit Commons, LLC, a Minnesota
limited liability company. On November 6th, 2023, the St. Joseph City Council approved a
Conditional Use Permit for Outdoor Storage at the following locations:
Parcel ID of properties: 84.53400.0006 and 84.53430.0042.
The project we have planned will not be completed prior to the current expiration date of
October 31st, 2026. Summit Commons, LLC is currently managing multiple active projects that
have impacted the scheduling and allocation of available resources necessary to complete this
project within the approved time frame. I am asking the St. Joseph Panning Commission and City
Council to extend the Conditional Use Permit until October 31st, 2028. If granted this extension,
we will be able to deliver a project that both helps the City of St. Joseph and makes more financial
sense to us.
Thank you for your consideration. If you would like to speak with me further regarding
this request, please feel free to contact me directly at (651) 689-2200.
Best regards,
Summit Commons, LLC

Its Owner

All construction site entrances shall be surfaced with crushed rock across the entire width of the entrance and from the entrance to
a point 50' into the construction zone.

The toe of the silt fence shall be trenched in a minimum of 6”. The trench backfill shall be compacted with a vibratory plate
compactor.

All grading operations shall be conducted in a manner to minimize the potential for site erosion. Sediment control practices must
be established on all down gradient perimeters before any up gradient land disturbing activities begin.

1069

All exposed soil areas must be stabilized as soon as possible to limit soil erosion but in no case later than 7 days after the
construction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily or permanently ceased. Temporary stockpiles without significant silt,
clay or organic components (e.g., clean aggregate stockpiles, demolition concrete stockpiles, sand stockpiles) and the constructed
base components of roads, parking lots and similar surfaces are exempt from this requirement.

1068

The normal wetted perimeter of any temporary or permanent drainage ditch or swale that drains water from any portion of the
construction site, or diverts water around the site, must be stabilized within 200 lineal feet from the property edge, or from the point
of discharge into any surface water. Stabilization of the last 200 lineal feet must be completed within 24 hours after connecting to a
surface water. Stabilization of the remaining portions of any temporary or permanent ditches or swales must be complete within 7
days after connecting to a surface water and construction in that portion of the ditch has temporarily or permanently ceased.

Pipe outlets must be provided with energy dissipation within 24 hours of connection to surface water.

Permittees must not cause nuisance conditions (see Minn. R. 7050.0210, subp. 2) in surface
waters from dewatering and and basin draining (e.g., pumped discharges, trench/ditch cuts
for drainage) discharges. Permittees must discharge turbid or sediment-laden waters related
to dewatering or basin draining to a sediment control (e.g. sediment trap or basin, filter bag)
designed to prevent discharges with visual turbidity. To the extent feasible, use well
vegetated (e.g. grassy or wooded), upland areas of the site to infiltrate dewatering water
before discharge. Permittees are prohibited from using receiving waters as part of the
treatment area. Permittees must visually check and photograph the discharge at the
beginning and at least once every 24 hours of operation to ensure adequate treatment has
been obtained and nuisance conditions will not result from the discharge. [Minn. R.

Will the project result in one acre or more of new impervious surface or result in one acre or more of new
impervious in total if the project is part of a larger plan of development?
Yes.
If yes, a water quality volume of one inch of runoff from the cumulative new impervious surfaces must be
retained on site (Section 15) through infiltration unless prohibited due to one of the reasons in item 16.14
through 16.21. If infiltration is prohibited, identify other methods of stormwater treatment used (e.g. filtration,
wet sedimentation basin, regional ponding, or equivalent method):
One (1) new wet sedimentation basin is proposed as part of the project to provide the required
water quality volume from the total new and fully reconstructed impervious areas.

3. Stabilize all exposed soil areas (including stockpiles). Stabilization must be initiated immediately to
limit soil erosion whenever any construction activity has permanently or temporarily ceased on any
portion of the site and will not resume for a period exceeding 14 calendar days (or 7 days if within
one mile of an identified impaired water). Stabilization must be completed no later than 14
calendar days (or 7 days if within one mile of an identified impaired water) after the construction
activity has ceased.
4. Stabilization is not required on constructed base components of roads, parking lots, and similar
surfaces. Stabilization is not required on temporary stockpiles without significant silt, clay or
organic components (e.g., clean aggregate stockpiles, demolition concrete stockpiles, sand
stockpiles) but sediment controls must be placed at the base of the stockpile.
5. For Public Waters that the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has promulgated “work in
water restrictions” during specified fish spawning time frames, all exposed soil areas that are within
200 feet of the water's edge, and drain to these waters must complete the stabilization activities
within 24 hours during the restriction period.
6. Stabilize the normal wetted perimeter of the last 200 linear feet of temporary or permanent
drainage ditches or swales that drain water from the site within 24 hours after connecting to a
surface water or property edge. Stabilize remaining portions of temporary or permanent ditches or
swales within 14 calendar days (or 7 days if within one mile of an identified impaired water) after
connecting to a surface water or property edge and construction in that portion of the ditch
temporarily or permanently ceases.
7. Temporary or permanent ditches or swales being used as sediment containment systems during
construction (with properly designed rock-ditch checks, bio rolls, silt dikes, etc.) do not need to be
stabilized during the temporary period of use as a sediment containment system. These areas
must be stabilized within 24 hours after no longer being used for as a sediment containment
system.
8. Applying mulch, hydromulch, tackifier, polyacrylamide or similar erosion prevention practices is not
acceptable within any portion of the normal wetted perimeter of a temporary or permanent
drainage ditch or swale section with a continuous slope of greater than 2 percent.
9. Pipe outlets must be provided with temporary or permanent energy dissipation within 24 hours
after connection to a surface water or permanent stormwater treatment system.
10.Route water around unstabilized areas on the site and to reduce erosion, unless infeasible. Use
erosion controls and velocity dissipation devices such as check dams, sediment traps, riprap, or
grouted riprap at outlets within and along the length of any constructed stormwater conveyance
channel, and at any outlet, to provide a non‐erosive flow velocity, to minimize erosion of channels
and their embankments, outlets, adjacent stream banks, slopes, and downstream waters during
discharge conditions.
11.Unless infeasible due to lack of pervious or vegetated areas, direct discharges from BMPs to
vegetated areas of the site (including any natural buffers) in order to increase sediment removal
and maximize stormwater infiltration. Use velocity dissipation devices if necessary to prevent
erosion when directing stormwater to vegetated areas.
12.Infiltration areas shall not be excavated until all upstream areas have been stabilized and/or
upstream BMPs are in place to properly prevent sediment deposition. Only low impact equipment
shall be allowed in infiltration areas which shall be clearly identified, staked, and marked/fenced
off.
13.Project phasing shall be implemented to ensure land disturbance and temporary erosion control
measures can be effectively inspected and maintained throughout the duration of the project in
accordance with the Inspection and Maintenance requirements of Section 11.

4. A floating silt curtain placed in the water is not an acceptable sediment control BMP except when
working on a shoreline or below the waterline. Immediately after the short term construction activity
(e.g., installation of rip rap along the shoreline) in that area is complete, upland perimeter control
practices shall be installed if exposed soils still drain to a surface water.
5. Re‐install all sediment control practices that have been adjusted or removed to accommodate
short‐term activities such as clearing or grubbing, or passage of vehicles, immediately after the
short‐term activity has been completed. Complete any short‐term activity that requires removal of
sediment control practices as quickly as possible and re‐install sediment control practices before
the next precipitation event even if the short‐term activity is not complete.
6. All storm drain inlets must be protected by appropriate BMPs during construction until all sources
with potential for discharging to the inlet have been stabilized. Inlet protection may be removed for
a particular inlet if a specific safety concern (street flooding/freezing) has been identified by the
Permittee(s) or the jurisdictional authority (e.g., city/county/township/MnDOT engineer).The
Permittee(s) must document the need for removal in the SWPPP.
7. Temporary soil stockpiles must have silt fence or other effective sediment controls, and cannot be
placed in any natural buffers or surface waters, including stormwater conveyances such as curb
and gutter systems, or conduits and ditches unless there is a bypass in place for the stormwater.

a. All perimeter control devices must be repaired, replaced, or supplemented when they become
nonfunctional or the sediment reaches one‐half (1/2) of the height of the device. These repairs must
be made by the end of the next business day after discovery, or thereafter as soon as field conditions
allow access.
b. Temporary and permanent sedimentation basins must be drained and the sediment removed when
the depth of sediment collected in the basin reaches one‐half (1/2) the storage volume. Drainage and
removal must be completed within 72 hours of discovery, or as soon as field conditions allow access.
c. Surface waters, including drainage ditches and conveyance systems, must be inspected for evidence
of erosion and sediment deposition during each inspection. Remove all deltas and sediment
deposited in surface waters, including drainage ways, catch basins, and other drainage systems, and
restabilize the areas where sediment removal results in exposed soil. The removal and stabilization
must take place within seven (7) days of discovery unless precluded by legal, regulatory, or physical
access constraints. Use all reasonable efforts to obtain access. If precluded, removal and stabilization
must take place within seven (7) calendar days of obtaining access. Contact all local, regional, state
and federal authorities and receiving any applicable permits, prior to conducting any work in surface
waters.
d. Construction site vehicle exit locations must be inspected for evidence of off ‐site sediment tracking
onto paved surfaces. Tracked sediment must be removed from all paved surfaces both on and off site
within 24 hours of discovery, or if applicable, within a shorter time.
e. Streets and other areas adjacent to the project must be inspected for evidence of off ‐site
accumulations of sediment. If sediment is present, it must be removed in a manner and at a frequency
sufficient to minimize off ‐site impacts (e.g., fugitive sediment in streets could be washed into storm
sewers by the next rain and/or pose a safety hazard to users of public streets).

4. Permittees may terminate coverage upon MPCA approval after submitting information
documenting the owner canceled the project.
5. Permittees must complete all construction activity and must install permanent cover over all areas
prior to submitting the NOT. Vegetative cover must consist of a uniform perennial vegetation with a
density of 70 percent of its expected final growth. Vegetation is not required where the function of a
specific area dictates no vegetation, such as impervious surfaces or the base of a sand filter.
6. Permittees must clean the permanent stormwater system of any accumulated sediment and must
ensure the system meets all applicable requirements in Section 15 through 19 of the permit and is
operating as designed.
7. Permittees must remove all sediment from conveyance systems prior to submitting the NOT.

8. Where vehicle traffic leaves any part of the site (or onto paved roads within the site) install a
vehicle tracking BMP to minimize the track out of sediment from the construction site. Examples of
vehicle tracking BMPs include (but are not limited to) rock pads, mud mats, slash mulch, concrete
or steel wash racks, or equivalent systems. Use street sweeping if such vehicle tracking BMPs are
not adequate to prevent sediment from being tracked onto the street.
9. The Permittee(s) must install temporary sedimentation basins as required in accordance with
permit requirements.
10.Minimize soil compaction by restricting vehicle access in areas where final vegetative stabilization
will occur, unless otherwise infeasible.
11.Discharges from BMPs shall be directed to vegetated areas unless infeasible.
12.Preserve a 50 foot natural buffer or (if a buffer is infeasible on the site) provide redundant (double)
perimeter sediment controls when a surface water is located within 50 feet of the project's earth
disturbances and stormwater flows to the surface water.
13.Perimeter sediment controls shall be installed at least 5 feet apart unless limited by lack of
available space. Natural buffers are not required adjacent to road ditches, judicial ditches, county
ditches, stormwater conveyance channels, storm drain inlets, and sediment basins. If preserving
the buffer is infeasible, the reasons for which shall be recorded in the SWPPP.
14. The use of polymers, flocculants, or other sedimentation treatment chemicals, if used on the
project, shall be used in accordance with accepted engineering practices, dosing specifications,
and sediment removal design specifications provided by the product manufacturer or supplier. Use
conventional erosion and sediment controls prior to the chemical addition to ensure effective
treatment. Chemicals may only be applied where treated stormwater is directed to a sediment
control system which allows or filtration of settlement of the floc prior to discharge.
15.If the proposed project as shown on the plans has 10 or more acres draining to a common location
or 5 acres or more if the site is within one mile of a special or impaired water (as identified in
Section II - Receiving Waters and Environmentally Sensitive Areas), then a temporary sediment
basin must be constructed as shown on the plans. Temporary sediment basins will have a
minimum of 3,600 cubic feet of storage per acre draining to the basin. The basin outlet shall
provide for discharging water from the surface to minimize discharging of pollutants. A stabilized
emergency overflow shall be constructed.

DEWATERING AND BASIN DRAINING (SECTION 10)
1. Discharge turbid or sediment‐laden waters related to dewatering or basin draining (e.g., pumped
discharges, trench/ditch cuts for drainage) to a temporary or permanent sediment basin on the
project site unless infeasible. Discharge from the temporary or permanent sedimentation basins to
surface waters if the basin water has been visually checked to ensure adequate treatment has
been obtained in the basin and that nuisance conditions will not result from the discharge. If the
water cannot be discharged to a sedimentation basin prior to entering the surface water, it must be
treated with the appropriate BMPs, such that the discharge does not adversely affect the receiving
water or downstream properties.
2. Discharge water that contains oil or grease, must use an oil‐water separator or suitable filtration
device (e.g. cartridge filters, absorbents pads) prior to discharging the water.
3. All water from dewatering or basin‐draining activities must be discharged in a manner that does
not cause nuisance conditions, erosion in receiving channels or downslope properties, erosion or
scour in the immediate vicinity of discharge points, or inundation in wetlands causing significant
adverse impact to the wetland.
4. The use of filters with backwash water, haul the backwash water away for disposal, return the
backwash water to the beginning of the treatment process, or incorporate the backwash water into
the site in a manner that does not cause erosion. Discharge backwash water to the sanitary sewer
if permission is granted by the sanitary sewer authority. Replace and clean the filter media used in
dewatering devices when required to retain adequate function.

5. Inspection frequency adjustment:
a. Inspections of areas with permanent cover can be reduced to once per month, even if construction
activity continues on other portions of the site; or
b. where sites have permanent cover on all exposed soil and no construction activity is occurring
anywhere on the site, inspections can be reduced to once per month and, after 12 months, may be
suspended completely until construction activity resumes. The MPCA may require inspections to
resume if conditions warrant; or
c. where construction activity has been suspended due to frozen ground conditions, inspections may be
suspended. Inspections must resume within 24 hours of runoff occurring, or upon resuming
construction, whichever comes first.
3. All inspections and maintenance activities within 24 hours of being conducted must be recorded and
retained in the SWPPP. These records must include:
a. Date and time of inspections
b. Name of person(s) conducting inspections
c. Findings of inspections, including the specific location where corrective actions are needed
d. Corrective actions taken (including dates, times, and party completing maintenance activities)
e. Date and amount of all rainfall events greater than 1/2 inch (0.5 inches) in 24 hours. Rainfall amounts
must be obtained by a properly maintained rain gauge installed onsite, a weather station that is within
1 mile of your location or a weather reporting system that provides site specific rainfall data from radar
summaries.
f. If any discharge is observed to be occurring during the inspection, a record of all points of the property
from which there is a discharge must be made, and the discharge should be described (i.e., color,
odor, floating, settled, or suspended solids, foam, oil sheen, and other obvious indicators of pollutants)
and photographed.
g. Any amendments to the SWPPP proposed as a result of the inspection must be documented within
seven (7) calendar days.
4. All infiltration areas must be inspected to ensure that no sediment from ongoing construction activity is
reaching the infiltration area. All infiltration areas must be inspected to ensure that equipment is not being
driven across the infiltration area.

POLLUTION PREVENTION MANAGEMENT MEASURES (SECTION 12)
Implement the following pollution prevention management measures on the site:
1. Storage, Handling, and Disposal of Construction Products, Materials, and Wastes shall comply with the
following to minimize the exposure to stormwater of any of the products, materials, or wastes. Products
or wastes which are either not a source of contamination to stormwater or are designed to be exposed to
stormwater are not held to this requirement:
a. Building products that have the potential to leach pollutants must be under cover (e.g., plastic
sheeting or temporary roofs) to prevent the discharge of pollutants or protected by a similarly effective
means designed to minimize contact with stormwater.
b. Pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fertilizers, treatment chemicals, and landscape materials must be
under cover (e.g., plastic sheeting or temporary roofs) to prevent the discharge of pollutants or
protected by similarly effective means designed to minimize contact with stormwater.
c. Hazardous materials, toxic waste, (including oil, diesel fuel, gasoline, hydraulic fluids, paint solvents,
petroleum‐based products, wood preservatives, additives, curing compounds, and acids) must be
properly stored in sealed containers to prevent spills, leaks or other discharge. Restricted access
storage areas must be provided to prevent vandalism. Storage and disposal of hazardous waste or
hazardous materials must be in compliance with Minn. R. ch. 7045 including secondary containment
as applicable.
d. Solid waste must be stored, collected and disposed of properly in compliance with Minn. R. ch. 7035.
e. Portable toilets must be positioned so that they are secure and will not be tipped or knocked over.
Sanitary waste must be disposed of properly in accordance with Minn. R. ch. 7041.
2. Fueling and Maintenance of Equipment or Vehicles; Spill Prevention and Response: Take reasonable
steps to prevent the discharge of spilled or leaked chemicals, including fuel, from any area where
chemicals or fuel will be loaded or unloaded including the use of drip pans or absorbents unless
infeasible. Conduct fueling in a contained area unless infeasible. Ensure adequate supplies are available
at all times to clean up discharged materials and that an appropriate disposal method is available for
recovered spilled materials. Report and clean up spills immediately as required by Minn. Stat. § 115.061,
using dry clean up measures where possible.

8. Permittees must remove all temporary synthetic erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs
prior to submitting the NOT. BMPs designed to decompose on-site may be left in place.
9. For residential construction only, permit coverage terminates on individual lots if the structures are
finished and temporary erosion prevention and downgradient perimeter control is complete, the
residence sells to the homeowner, and the permittee distributes the MPCA's "Homeowner Fact
Sheet" to the homeowner.
10.For construction projects on agricultural land (e.g., pipelines across cropland), disturbed land must
be returned to its preconstruction agricultural condition prior to submitting the NOT.
11. When submitting the NOT, permittees must include either ground or aerial photographs showing
vegetative cover requirements have been met as listed above. All submitted photographs shall
include the date and specific site location.

LONG TERM OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE:
1. Upon the completion of construction activity and NPDES permit termination, in accordance with
Sections 4 and 13, the Property Owner shall become the responsible party for long term operation
and maintenance (O&M) of all permanent stormwater management features under this project.
2. All associated operations, inspections, maintenance, and record keeping shall be performed by
trained individual(s) familiar with the site stormwater management system.

4. Concrete and other washouts waste: Provide effective containment for all liquid and solid wastes
generated by washout operations (concrete, stucco, paint, form release oils, curing compounds and other
construction materials) related to the construction activity. The liquid and solid washout wastes must not
contact the ground, and the containment must be designed so that it does not result in runoff from the
washout operations or areas. Liquid and solid wastes must be disposed of properly and in compliance
with MPCA rules. A sign must be installed adjacent to each washout facility that requires site personnel
to utilize the proper facilities for disposal of concrete and other washout wastes.

After permit coverage is terminated under this item, any subsequent development on the remaining
portions of the site will require permit coverage if the subsequent development itself or as part of
the remaining common plan of development or sale will result in land disturbing activity of one (1)
or more acres in size.

3. Temporary or permanent drainage ditches and sediment basins designed as part of a sediment
containment system (e.g., ditches with rock-check dams) require sediment control practices only
as appropriate for site conditions.

3. Permittees may terminate permit coverage prior to completion of all construction activity if they
