MOLIN REZONE - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Mr. Kluegel presented this request and the reasons for the request. Mr. Molin is requesting the addittion to the existing building to be used for storage. The land is currently zoned LI. The manufacture of cement products is an allowed usage under GI but not LI. Mr. Schumacher summarized the reasons for this noting that in order to bring this operation into conformance with the new Zoning Ordinance it is necessary to rezone to GI. This area is defined as industrial in the comprehensive land use plan. Mr. Schumacher read Mr. Short's letter on his review of this request. Mr. Short recommended the rezoning of the property from LI to GI. Mr. Schumacher felt this zoning was an oversight at the time of the public hearings. If it had been realized that Molin Concrete was being zoned as a non - conforming use, Mr. Molin would have been notified in order for him to have appeared at those meetings and voice his objections. Mrs. Klaus was concerned that this business is being intensified and it is adjancent to a residential area. It was pointed out that if the zoning remains LI, this plant cannot be expanded. Under GI, expansion may take place with a Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Doocy asked how big is the currently used area - the yarding area? Is this the only area that used in the business? No one knew the answer to the area used and this is the only area used at the present time. Mr. Schumacher pointed out that when this operation was began, the LI zoning was the only classification under Ord. #6 that this could be zoned. Mr. Schumacher pointed out that Mr. Molin has been working all summer on a water plan for the RCWB in order to complete this expansion. Someone asked why Mr. Molin did not show up at the hearings on the zoning map and Mr. Schumacher pointed out that all persons who were non - conforming were notified and this property was overlooked in that it was presumed that it was put into the correct classification. There was a suggestion that only a portion of this property be zoned to GI, the remaining be left as LI. Mrs. Klaus moved to recommend to the Council that the Molin Concret rezone application be revised to includeanlythat part of the property necessary to support the operation as it presently exists. Seconded by Mr. Cody. Motion carried unanimously. On considering the Conditional Use Plan, Mr. Kluegel was asked if the site and building plans have been reviewed in accordance with the Ordinance? This would include Items A thru I in the zoning Ordinance. Mr. Kluegel said he had no problems with this request. The requirements on pages 40 thru 45 are the ones being referred to and Mr. Kluerl said they have been complied with. • Planning and Zoning August 10, 1983 Page Five • There was a question on whether this permit could be considered before the actually rezoning of the property. Mr. Henriksen complained about the noise and this was discussed. The starting times were discussed and it was noted that the work starts about 6:00 A.M. There was discussion on looking at some type of sound screen- ing. It was suggested that Mr Molin work with Mr. Kluegel to look into some type of noise abatement. Mr. Ostlie moved r, the Conditional Use Permit for Molin Concrete, 415 Lilac be contingent upon the applicant return to the P &Z with a modified plan whereby area to be rezoned to GI be limited beyond what it would presently be, and as a contingency for the conditional use permit, that a noise abatemen Klaus.
