PUBLIC HEARING to consider Amending Section 8 of the Zoning Ordinance
which includes requirements for Industrial Districts
Paul Bengtson presented the staff report. Staff recommended approval of the Zoning
Ordinance Amendment.
Board . er comments included:
ern that removing the IUP for outdoor storage would make it harder to
enforce if it1ecame an allowable use
Concern that outside storage was not permitted along interstates, but was
ermined next to residential.
slack of distinction between GI and LI.
x fuel st.rrns could be an appropriate use in industrial districts.
Staff addresse. ° stions of the board. Ms. Kendra Lindhal, city consultant from
Landform, sai at staff changed an IUP to a CUP in the draft ordinance, recognizing
that a business with outdoor storage was unlikely to go away. Staff noted that areas where
outdoor storage was allowed did not include freeway frontage for aesthetic reasons, since
35W and 35E were considered gateways to the community. There is only minor
distinction between LI and GI, with LI considered to be more professional, high tech, but
the limited amount of GI allows somewhere in the city for heavy manufacturing. Motor
fuel stations generally prefer high traffic areas. An industrial company is allowed to have
a fuel on site to service trucks.

AGENDA ITEM 6A
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson
MEETING DATE: July 11, 2012
TOPIC: Conditional Use Permit
Grading and Earth Removal — 6221 Holly Drive
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
INTRODUCTION
Encompass Digital Media, operators of the satellite farm at 6221 Holly Drive are in the process
of securing additional contracts that would necessitate expansion of the facility. While finalizing
the details on the expansion plan, they have applied to remove a large portion of a berm on the
south side of the site and do some preliminary grading work on the rest of the site.
SCHEDULE OF ACTIONS:
Planning & Zoning Board July 11, 2012
City Council First Reading (Public Hearing) July 23, 2012
Action Deadline September 1, 2012 (may be extended)
BACKGROUND
The amount of material proposed for removal from the site is approximately 20,000 cubic yards,
with the material being hauled south from the site on Holly Drive and then the majority east on
County Road J /Ash Street then out of the city. Less than ten percent of the material would be
taken west on County Road J /Ash Street. The grading plan and site plan depict the site layout
and the berm area that is proposed to be removed. The plans also depict erosion control
measures and proposed grading at completion of the project.
A conditional use permit may be issued if all the criteria have been met as defined in the
resolution of this report.
Section 3, Subdivision 11 of the zoning ordinance for Earth Moving and Land Reclamation
provides a list of conditions as a prerequisite that the City may use for granting a permit. Those
conditions that the City may deem necessary are as follows:
1. Properly fence any pit or excavation, and barricade entrances to prevent the
general public from depositing garbage or refuse.
The site is fenced and occupied by the facilities' staff.
2. Slope the banks, and otherwise guard and keep any pit or excavation in such
condition as not to be dangerous because of sliding or caving banks.
• There will be no pits and excavation shall be staged to prevent large banks.
3. Properly drain, fill, or level off any pit or excavation so as to make the same safe
and healthful as the permitting authority may detelliiine
Again, no open pits are proposed for this project /site.
4. Limit the depth of such excavation to an elevation no lower than the minimum
floor elevation for building construction as established by the City Engineer, so as
not to diminish development potential of the parcel.
There is not excavation below the surrounding grade, and the potential
development of the site will not be diminished.
5. Limit any fill material to clean fill, defined as rock, sand, gravel, clay, or other
like and similar non - decomposable material. Concrete, asphalt, metal, wood. and
other debris shall be prohibited.
All fill used on the site will be inspected to determine that it meets city
standards.
6. Require that all decomposable material, or other unsuitable foundation material,
be removed from an area before deposition of fill begins.
All construction will be done on suitable fill materials.
7. Prepare a site plan showing existing and proposed grade elevations and effect of
stoini water drainage on adjacent areas.
The submitted plans show the existing and proposed grade elevations as well
as drainage directions.
8. Specify a time when the excavation or land reclamation project shall be
completed.
The project is proposed to be completed within a 3 week period (weather
permitting) after approval by the City Council.
9. Place a minimum of four (4) inches of top soil over the completed project and
establish appropriate ground cover within sixty (60) days of completion, or in a
time period consistent with the City's storm water management and pollution
prevention plan.
This will be a condition of approval for the request.
10. Reimburse the City for the cost of periodic inspections by the City for the purpose
of determining that the terms under which the permit has been issued are being
complied with.
A Site Performance Agreement shall be required to outline financial
securities and an appropriate escrow deposit to cover inspections.
•
•
•
•
•
11. Implement the tree preservation plan.
There is no tree preservation plan for the site as there are not significant
trees within the grading area.
12. In addition to a conditional use permit, the City Engineer may determine that
permits in excess of twenty -five thousand (25,000) cubic yards require the
applicant to conduct a neighborhood meeting and to notify affected property
owners within one - quarter (1/4) mile.
The proposed removal will not exceed 25,000 cubic yards and therefore a
neighborhood meeting is unnecessary.
13. Post a form of security and sum as the permitted authority may require, running to
the City, conditioned to pay the City the cost and expense of repairing or cleaning
any highways, streets, or other public ways within the City made necessary by the
special burden resulting from transporting thereon by the applicant material to or
from the site, the amount of such cost to be determined by the Council; and
conditioned further to comply with all the requirements of this Ordinance and the
particular permit, and to save the City free and harmless from all suits or claims
for damages resulting from the negligent excavation, removal, storage, or filling
of rock, sand, dirt, gravel, clay, or other like material within the City.
A Site Performance Agreement shall be required to outline financial
securities and an appropriate escrow deposit to cover inspections.
14. Other conditions deemed appropriate to the application by the permitting
authority.
Any other conditions appropriate for this request will be added to the
approval of the conditional use permit.
The City has sent a public hearing notice to surrounding home owners to inform them of the
proposed Conditional Use Permit, but due to the timelines the applicant is facing, the public
hearing will need to be held at the City Council on July 23, 2012. The mailed notice indicated
both the City Council and Planning and Zoning Board meetings so that neighbors may attend
either or both. Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Board allow public comment
even without the official public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit for grading and earth removal with
the conditions included in the City Engineer's memorandum.

Public Hearing: Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment
Section 7 Business Zoning Districts
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
INTRODUCTION
As part of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan update process, staff was directed by the City Council
to review the Business Zoning Districts to determine if they were compatible with the
comprehensive plan and if they allowed development in line with the vision, goals, and policies
of the city. Staff had brought a previous version of the Business Districts to the Planning and
Zoning Board but after consulting with the City Attorney felt that additional revisions were
necessary.

Staff initiated, no deadlines
BACKGROUND
Staff is proposing two major changes to what the Board saw previously. First, because of the
similarities between Neighborhood Business and Limited Business and the fact that only a
handful of properties in the city are zoned either designation, staff proposes to eliminate the
Neighborhood Business District. This would also mean rezoning all NB properties to LB.
Secondly, staff is proposing to deal with the existing commercial/industrial properties at the
Orange Street/Lake Drive intersection via interim use permits within the LB district, instead of
creating a new zoning district. LB is the most appropriate zoning district for an area that is in
such close proximity to surrounding single family dwellings, and staff proposes to allow via
interim use permits any use on these sites that are allowed in the GB zoning district. Extension
of utilities to the area will be the event that causes the end of the interim use.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of the proposed language.
