Molin Concrete page 5 Stormwater Management: The grading and drainage plan was reviewed by the Rice Creek Watershed District and received preliminary approval. The proposed plan includes enlarging and existing pond in the northwest corner of the site, creating a new pond in the interior of the site, and an infiltration area between the two. The drainage plan is subject to the review of the City Engineer. The western end of the berm will be removed as part of the construction of the these stormwater facilities. The berm then will be replaced. Wetlands: The proposed project will require filling of an existing wetland in the southeast corner of the site. Molin has received preliminary approval from the Rice Creek Watershed District for the wetland impacts. Additional wetland will be created in the northwest corner of the site by enlarging the pond there. These changes to the wetland and the new ponds will not have detrimental effects on wells in the area. Sign: Molin has not proposed new signage. 1997 Conditional Use Permit Amendment and Interim Use Permit Molin has an existing conditional use permit for the concrete plant that covers the entire site. They also have an interim use permit for outdoor storage that covers the northern 20 acres. In 1997 the City approved an amendment to the CUP as well as the interim use permit. The CUP amendment did include an expansion of the production building and included the batch plant that is 80' high. The conditions attached to the 1997 approvals did not specifically distinguish between the two permits—the conditional use permit and the interim use permit. The interim use permit only covers the northern 20 acres which is zoned LI. The conditional use permit covers the entire property. One can infer that conditions related to storage were intended to apply to the northern area. However, there have been differing interpretations voiced regarding which conditions apply where. It will be useful to clarify this, and the recommendations in this report do so. The conditions approved in 1997 follow, accompanied by brief comments on each. Molin is now requesting that conditions 11 a, 13c, and 13e be eliminated. 1. The City approve the requested zoning ordinance text amendment establishing open and outdoor storage as an interim use in the LI Zoning District comment: Ordinance 31-97, adopted 10 /27/97, fulfilled this condition.
