AGENDA ITEM 6 D STAFF ORIGINATOR: Mary Kay Wyland DATE: 12/12/96 TOPIC: 96-36 , Otter Lake Animal Clinic, Wayne Scanlan, 6848 Otter Lake Road, Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review BACKGROUND: Dr. Wayne Scanlan received approval of a Conditional Use Permit in July of 1986 for the initial construction of his veterinary clinic and boarding facility. He would now like to expand the existing pole bam by 50% or 2,025 square feet to increase the boarding facility. The additional pole barn construction and the expanded boarding facility both require an amended conditional use permit. The clinic currently has facilities to board approximately 58 animals. The addition would add 42 boarding spaces for a total of 100. The outdoor kennel facilities will also be expanded at this time. For Council information, Dr. Scanlan's clinic currently contracts with the Cities of Lino Lakes, Circle Pines, Lexington and (soon) Centerville for their animal controVimpaund services. The property in question contains 1.44 acres in size and is Zoned Light Industrial. The existing building is 45 x 90 or 4,050 square feet, therefore, a one time only_50% expansion of 2,025 square feet is allowed by the Zoning Ordinance with a conditional use permit. The Council recently authorizing the preparation of plans and specifications for the construction of realigned Otter Lake Road. This roadway will, basically, follow the power line easement on the north side of this site. Construction is planned for Spring of 1997. This new roadway will ultimately require the relocation of the entrance to the animal clinic and possibly the parking area. Staff has reviewed the site plan and believes this relocation is feasible but the exact configuration of the entrance drive and parking area can not be determined until completion of the actual roadway plans. Staff does not believe it is necessary to delay this review until that time. The construction of the proposed addition should not affect the roadway or entrance alignment.
