No: 2 Planning 211912019
Item: 2015 Garvin Heights Road Rezoning: AG /NR to R -
R
No. 2.1
Petitioner and land owner Lloyd Jacob requests Council consider rezoning two parcels
located at 2015 Garvin Heights Road from AG /NR, Agricultural/Natural Resources District to
R -R, Rural Residential. The rezoning will facilitate the subdivision of the property to bring an
existing single family home into compliance with the required lot area regulations. On January
28, 2019, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval with the
following findings:
1. The rezoning is in -line with the Comprehensive Plan future land use designation for
the subject property.
2. Since original zoning in 1960, properties around 2015 Garvin Heights Road have been
re -zoned to low density residential or continued agricultural use.
3. The proposed change will not have an undue (excessive)impact on health, safety, and
welfare of the community because there is no proposed development for 2015 Garvin
Heights Road.
Given these findings, approval of the request is recommended. In consideration of this
matter, the following alternatives are available to Council:
1. Approve the request as submitted. Under this option, a motion to introduce the
attached ordinance for adoption should be made.
2. Deny the request. Under this option, Council will need to state on the record findings
supporting the denial of the request.
3. Modify the request.
4. Table the item to allow staff additional time to answer any outstanding questions.

USE HISTORY
The area in question has traditionally operated as an agricultural use with supporting
residential uses on the properties.
SITE /
AREA CHARACTERISTICS
The area is approximately 10 acres. The properties incorporate active agricultural land
as well as supporting agricultural buildings and a residenctial use. Seethe following
aerial photo for reference in relation to surrounding parcels and uses.
ANALYSIS
1. Was there an error or oversight in approval of original zoning of the site?
PLANNING COMMISSION
3. PUBLIC HEARING - REZONE AG /NR TO R -R
JANUARY 28, 2019
PAGE 3
No, the original AG /NR zoning was established in accordance with agricultural
use that occurs on the property.
2. Have there been changes in area development patterns, since original
zoning,to warrant rezoning?
Yes, upcoming development in residential zoning to the east of the property as
Winona develops outward.
3. Would potential uses of requested R -R zoning impose "undue hardship"
relating to noise, odors, etc.)on neighboring properties?
No, potential uses of the R -R zoning would not impose "undue hardship" on
surrounding properties.
4. Would the public interest be better served if rezoning was considered
within another area?
No, rezoning to rural residential best serves the public's interest because it is a
consistent residential continuation with adjacent zoning and with the
Comprehensive Plan's Limited Residential designation for the area in question.
5. Could the rezoning be construed as being spot zoning?
Spot zoning occurs if one of the following tests are met:
A. The rezoninq action results in benefits which are only enjoyed by the
petitioner
The rezoning does not solely benefit the petitioner. This is because
rezoning of the area in question is required for any kind of limited
residential use as designated in the Comprehensive Plan. The limited
residential land use classification also continues the low-density
residential uses that are developing near the property.
B. The rezoninq is considered to be arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable
The proposed rezoning fits with surrounding zones and is in concert with
the Comprehensive Plan. Thus, the rezoning is not arbitrary, capricious, or
unreasonable.
C. Rezoning is not consistent with goals and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan.
PLANNING COMMISSION
3. PUBLICHEARING - REZONE AG /
NR TO R -
R
JANUARY 28, 2019
PAGE 4
The area in question is designated as limited residential by the future land
use plan. Rezoning the area in question to R -R is in accordance with this
designation.
GENERAL PUBLIC CORRESPONDANCE
There has been no correspondence with the general public regarding this application.
RECOMMENDATION
In summary, the analysis has concluded that:
1. No error or oversight was made in the original AG /NR zoning of the area
in question.
2. Adjacent land uses are changing to low-density residential and also
maintaining a mix of agricultural warranting rezoning of the R -R area in
question.
3. Potential uses of the R -R zoning would not impose "undue hardship on
surrounding properties.
4. Rural Residential, limited residential rezoning is the correct designation for
the area in accordance with adjacent zoning and the Comprehensive Plan.
5. Because the proposed rezoning is supported by the Comprehensive
Plan's designation for the area as limited residential, the proposed
rezoning should not be misconstrued as spot zoning.
Given the above staff conclusions, approval of this request is recommended.
In consideration of this matter, the following alternatives are available to the
Commission:
1. Recommend approval of the request, as submitted.
2. Recommend denial of the request and direct staff to draft a resolution of
denial. If denial is recommended, specific reasons for denial shall be
given. These reasons should pertain to the potential uses of the proposed
zone.
3. Recommend modification of the request.
4. Table the item to allow staff additional time to answer any lingering
questions.

Item: Request for St. Martin's Strawberry Festival in Sinclair Park
No. 3.2
SUMMARY OF REQUESTED ACTION:
Dear Councilmembers:
Once again we would like to hold our annual St. Martin's Strawberry Festival at Sinclair
Park. This year's event is planned for Sunday, June 9, 2019.1 have already reserved the
park with the Parks & Recreation department.
If this is agreeable, I would also like to request electricity be available at the park for that
date. I know that I need to pick up the key the week prior to the event. Also, could extra
picnic tables (no extra garbage cans needed) be available for pickup (from the Jaycee
Pavilion) the week prior as well?
Thank you for your time on this matter. This event has truly become a community event
while also serving as a fundraiser for St. Martin's Lutheran Church and School.
Sincerely,
Sherri Wendland

SUMMARY OF REQUESTED ACTION:
Dear Councilmembers,
Hope Harbor is requesting to hold a Donut Run around Sinclair Park on May 25, 2019, from
8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. I have made reservations with the Parks & Recreation department.
We are also requesting to close 7th Street between Kansas Street and Liberty Street and
Kansas and Liberty from Broadway to 7th Street from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. so that we
can have the run done on the street. The race is 0.1 K and they are planning for at least 50
runners. Last year we had 140 - hoping for almost 200+this year. The run will start at Liberty and
7th Street. The runners will head west on 7th to Kansas Street, then turn north on Kansas and
stop about half way down the block. The runners will get a donut at the end line.
We are requested assistance from the Police Reserves, and to have street barricades placed
at the intersections of Kansas and Broadway, Liberty and Broadway, Kansas and 7 and
Liberty and 7th.
Thank you!

Item: Request to Eliminate 1 Hour and 2 Hour Parking on Fifth Street Between
Center and Lafayette Streets
No. 3.q
SUMMARY OF REQUESTED ACTION:
Jordan Potter, a resident in this area, has inquired about removing the One and Two Hour
parking on Fifth Street between Center and Lafayette Streets. The nature of the area has
changed since those limited time parking areas were installed from 1983 to 1986. The area
now is more residential and the 20 hour parking ordinance may be more appropriate with the
current uses. The areas to be eliminated are as follows:
One Hour
Fifth Street, northerly side, from a point 20 feet east of the east line of Center
Street to a point 52 feet easterly thereof and from a point 94 feet east of the
east line of Center Street to a point 87 feet easterly thereof.
Two Hour
Fifth Street, southerly side, from a point 20 feet east of the east line of Center
Street to a point 20 feet west of the west line of Lafayette Street.
If Council concurs, a motion to introduce the attached ordinances would be in order.

Item: The Bluff Traverse Master Plan — Regional Designation
No. 5.1
SUMMARY OF REQUESTED ACTION:
As the Winona Parks and Recreation Department continues the implementation phase of the
Comprehensive Parks Plan and the Bluff Traverse Master Plan, designating a regional park
or trail system is a required step in the application process for grant funding. The designation
is specifically required for grant applications seeking funding generated from the Clean Water
and Land Legacy Amendment.
The Parks and Recreation Department is proposing the Sugarloaf Area, Garvin Heights Park
and Bluffside Park be regionally designated. Further we would propose the Bluff Traverse
Trail System be regionally designated as well. The Bluff Traverse Master Plan that was
adopted by the City Council on January 07, 2019, highlights and justifies regional significance
of these areas and trail system. The application process we are proposing, to achieve the
regional designation, does not require a City of Winona funding allocation.
Staff recommends designating the Sugarloaf Area, Garvin Heights Park, and Bluffside Park
as well as the Bluff Traverse Trail System as regionally significant. The application
documents will refer the parks and trail system as `The Bluff Traverse.'
If Council concurs a motion to approve the attached resolution and direct staff to submit an
application to the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trail Commission would be in order.

authorize the applicant's submission.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Winona, as the lead
applicant, is fully aware of the information provided in the application and associated
responsibilities, including long t-erm commitments as defined in the application and
related master plan; and
FURTHERMORE BE IT RESOLVED that should the Bluff Traverse receive
formal designation as a Regional Park or Trail in Greater Minnesota by the Commission,
that as the lead applicant, the City of Winona has the legal authority to enter into formal
designation and funding requirements with the Commission for the referenced park or
trail; and
FURTHERMORE BE IT RESOLVED that the lead applicant certifies that the City
of Winona will comply will all applicable laws and regulations associated with regional

SUMMARY OF REQUESTED ACTION:
The Winona Parks and Recreation Office is seeking grant funding through the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources, Federal Recreational Trails Program. The Bluff Traverse

15, as well as a trail signage and site amenities outlined in the Bluff Traverse Master Plan. A
map of the area with details on the trail segments from the Bluff Traverse Master Plan are
attached and enlarged for your review.

Item: Project FINE Welcoming Statement
No. 5.3
SUMMARY OF REQUESTED ACTION:
Project FINE, a nonprofit that welcomes immigrants and refugees and helps them integrate
into the community, invites organization and community leaders to make a "Commitment to
Welcome." The idea for this project arose from extensive listening sessions Project FINE
conducted with area immigrants and refugees that revealed challenges and resistances to
inclusion, ranging from discrimination to social isolation.
Project FINE hopes that organizations, businesses, community leaders and others make this
commitment in ways uniquely meaningful to their organizations and communities.
Additionally, they are offering a challenge to those who sign on to invite others to do the
same. Participating businesses, organizations, and groups will be recognized by Project
FINE, and honored as part of ongoing efforts building a community for immigrants and
refugees in the Winona area and region where all are welcomed, respected and valued.
If the Council concurs, a motion to adopt the attached resolution would be in order.
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the City of Winona supports Project FINE's Commitment to
Welcome program; and
WHEREAS, the City of Winona supports community efforts to build relationships,
understanding and connections among diverse populations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of
Winona, Minnesota, that it commits to building a community where all are welcomed,
respected, and valued.
