The installation of the elevator was a condition to the permit for the Family Service Center when the project was approved back in January of 1999. The County has completed all of the work associated with this facility except for the elevator. DISCUSSION Staff would like to have a discussion as to whether or not the city ouncil wishes to have ave the installed. nstalled. In the past, there have been discussions with Ramsey ount commissioners y y mmissioners and staff about the merits of installing the elevator. The barn is very ld and installing the rY g elevator would then require other building improvements to bring the structure u P g p to current codes. Preliminary cost estimates to do the required 700 improvements are in the 000- 8 p $ 00, 000 range. In addition, the architect who looked at this indicated that once the second floor becomes occupied, there are additional emergency exits required. This is problematic because i . q p fan additional exit, with stairway, is added, the historical character of the barn is compromised. o pronused. I asked county staff how much of the barn is actually tilized. The indicated that ' Y y a about one -third of the barn goes un -used except during the annual Count Fair. So getting ' County g g additional second story space is not the issue. Ramsey County staff indicated they would be willing o use the funds for other g e County campus or other city improvements. This would of course, need approval b the Maplewood ' pp y p ewood City Council. REQUESTED ACTION Direct staff to have the County build the elevator or start discussions with Ramsey County staff to look at alternative projects or improvements. If the council decides to move forward with alternative use of the funds, the Family Service Center CUP would have to be amended. 4 MEMORANDUM TO: City Manager FROM: Shann Finwall, Associate Planner. . SUBJECT: Voting Requirements for Zoning Ordinance Amendments and Zoning Map Changes DATE: June 21, 2001 The City's Zoning Code Article VII, Section 36 -484 (attached) states that the city council may adopt and amend the city's zoning ordinance or map by a two- thirds majority vote of all its members. To summarize, the City of Maplewood's city council would have to vote at least 4 to 1 in favor of a requested amendment to a zoning ordinance or change to the zoning map for approval. This section of the zoning ordinance is mandated by Minnesota's planning and enabling law (Section 2000, Chapter 462) which gives municipalities the power to conduct and implement municipal planning. During the 2001 Minnesota Legislative Session, the Builders' Association of Minnesota (BAM) and the Minnesota Association of Realtors (MAR) requested changes to the above - mentioned law. The BAM and MAR proposed changes to building code interpretation, plan review fees, and zoning ordinances. These changes were proposed in an attempt to reduce market barriers to building more affordable homes. The changes were adopted by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor. One section of the new law affects the voting requirements for zoning ordinance amendments and zoning map changes. Chapter 462.357, subdivision 2 (attached) is amended to require a majority vote (at least 3 out of 5 in favor) of all governing body members for amendments to zoning ordinances or changes to zoning maps. An exception to this requirement is the adoption or amendment of any portion of a zoning ordinance which changes all or part of the existing classification of a zoning district from residential to commercial or industrial. In this case, the governing body must have atwo- thirds majority vote (at least 4 out of 5 in favor) of all its members. This portion of the law went into effect May 30, 2001, and takes precedence over the city's zoning ordinance. Therefore, item H.1. on the June 25, 2001, city council meeting agenda dealing with a zoning map change from commercial to residential for the proposed Afton Ridge development will require a majority vote (at least 3 in favor) for approval as opposed to a two - thirds majority vote (at least 4 in favor). The city's zoning ordinance requires a public hearing for all amendments. In order to amend the ordinance regarding voting procedures to reflect the new state law, staff will bring back to the city council at a later date a formal zoning ordinance amendment request to be heard at a public hearing.
