• <br />• <br />Molin Concrete <br />October 10, 2001 <br />page 6 <br />1997 Conditional Use Permit Amendment and Interim Use Permit <br />Molin has an existing conditional use permit for the concrete plant that covers the entire <br />site. They also have an interim use permit for outdoor storage that covers the northern 20 <br />acres. In 1997 the City approved an amendment to the CUP as well as the interim use <br />permit. The CUP amendment did include an expansion of the production building and <br />included the batch plant that is 80' high. <br />The conditions attached to the 1997 approvals did not specifically distinguish between <br />the two permits —the conditional use permit and the interim use permit. The interim use <br />permit only covers the northern 20 acres which is zoned LI. The conditional use permit <br />covers the entire property. One can infer that conditions related to storage were intended <br />to apply to the northern area. However, there have been differing interpretations voiced <br />regarding which conditions apply where. It will be useful to clarify this, and the <br />recommendations in this report do so. <br />The conditions approved in 1997 follow, accompanied by brief comments on each. <br />Molin is now requesting that conditions 11 a, 13c, and 13e be eliminated. <br />1. The City approve the requested zoning ordinance text amendment establishing open <br />and outdoor storage as an interim use in the LI Zoning District <br />comment: Ordinance 31 -97, adopted 10 /27/97, fulfilled this condition. <br />2. The City approve the requested vacation of 77th Street <br />comment: Resolution 97 -156, approved 10- 27 -97, fulfilled this condition. <br />3. The City Council specifically approves an outdoor storage area surfacing material <br />other than blacktop or concrete. <br />comment: The site plan for the CUP /interim use permit does indicate bituminous <br />in limited areas, gravel over large areas, and no paving on much of the site. This <br />is the plan that was approved, so these surfacing materials are approved. <br />4. Outdoor lighting is prohibited in the site's outdoor storage area (north of 77th Street). <br />Permissible exterior lighting shall be hooded and directed to reflect light away from <br />neighboring residential properties and rights -of -way. <br />comment: There is no outdoor lighting in the yards on the northern portion of the <br />site. The "permissible exterior lighting" refers to the southern portion. Light <br />
