A conditional use permit was approved in 1986 for the initial construction of the veterinary clinic and boarding facility. In December 1996, an amendment to the conditional use permit was approved to expand the pole barn structure and allow boarding for up to 100 animals. In September 2019, Council approved this proposed amendment to the conditional use permit for the building addition and parking lot expansion. Construction did not begin within one (1) year after the date of approval and the amended conditional use permit was void. The applicant has resubmitted the conditional use permit application for review. Overall, the proposed 2022 project is the same as the approved 2019 project. Existing Site Conditions The site contains the existing 4,000 sf facility, a parking lot, indoor and outdoor kennels, two (2) small accessory sheds, a fenced area, and open green space with minimal tree coverage. A pond exists on the north side of the site and a small wetland exists on the south side. The Certificate of Survey notes the parcel size is 1.51 acres; however, this includes a portion of CR 84 (Otter Lake Road) street right-of-way. In 1996, CR 84 (Otter Lake Road) was realigned and street right-of-way was to be dedicated via easement along the west lot line. Unfortunately, this easement was not recorded so a separate roadway, drainage, and utility easement shall be recorded against the property. Anoka County GIS shows the estimated acreage as 1.33 acres. Plans have been revised to correctly show the front lot line. A 66 foot wide NSP easement and overhead powerlines bisect the northwest corner of the site. An 8 foot wide trail exists along CR 84 (Otter Lake Road). Per the Geotechnical Report, the area of the proposed addition is currently a green space to the north of the existing building. Current grades range from 910 to 914 EL. The site
