• Agenda Item 5A • Staff Originator: Marty Asleson Environmental Board Meeting Date: March 30, 2011 Topic: Motor Fuel Station, 7997 Lake Drive /Environmental Review /Conditional Use Permit Amendment. Background: The site is located in the SW corner of Lake Drive and Main Street. The site had a gas station /convenience store for many years and was shut down in 2009. At that time the gas station fuel tanks were removed. According to the Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Report Dated March 9, 2011 the property owner wants to install a new canopy with gas pumps and fuel tanks. The new location of the canopy and pumps can be seen on Attachment C3 and C2. Reconstruction of the site will increase impervious. Analysis: The Conditional Use Permit for this site allows the gas station to continue on this site as it previously operated as such. The Conditional Use amendment would allow the expansion of the number of fuel pumps and a larger canopy. The following issues are of environmental concern: Lighting All canopy lighting should be flush mounted, fixtures recessed and downward focused. The proposed light fixture is displayed in Attachment 5. The lights meet our code standards. Any new building fixtures should meet similar requirements as the canopy lights. . Lighting should be turned off during times of store closure. The site proposed Photometric shows zero lumens at the property line. This also meets our city code. Pump Islands Pump islands must have an approved designed catchment for contaminants to prevent illicit discharge.. Structural Plans should meet the minimum requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance. A plan must be submitted for periodic inspection and maintenance of oil and grit containment structures. There should be a cleanup plan for accidental spills. All spills must be reported to the Minnesota Duty Officer of the Minnesota Division of Homeland Security, and the City of Lino Lakes.
