B. Shoreland Overlay District Variance — Jahnke/Leonard, 8242 Hidden Bay Trail The City Planner reported the Planning Commission recommended for approval, with two conditions, of this application for a Shoreland Overlay District Variance to permit additions to the existing house and garage, all of which are already located within the 100 foot OHW setback. No increased encroachment on the OHW has been proposed with the additions. The garage does meet the 30' front setback. The site is within the impervious guidelines. No comments were received from the DNR. Mayor Hunt stated the additions are away from the OHWM and characteristic of the neighborhood. M/S/P Siedow/Hunt - to adopt Resolution No. 2002-056 approving a Shoreland Overlay District Variance for additions to the home and garage at 8242 Hidden Bay Trail, based on plans staff dated May 29, 2002, and the Findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission, including the two conditions. (Motion passed 3-2:DeLapp —We should be more sensitive with our water. Mitigation may be added in some cases to prevent nutrients going into the lake; Armstrong: This would bring it so close to road you don't need a driveway. Not in favor of garage addition or porch. This footprint is being increased on such a small lot and more impervious surface coverage for the top stall. C. Conditional Use Permit Amendment — EN Properties/Laidlaw Transit The City Planner explained the Planning Commission, after receiving additional documentation, recommended repealing the existing Conditional Use Permit for an excavating contractor office/shop/storage at that site, and to approve a new (not amended) Conditional Use Permit for a school bus office/shop/outdoor storage facility at the site. The Commission recommended amending Section 300.07 of the Code to increase the vehicle trips per day per acre allowable by Non-agricultural Low Impact Uses to 6 trips per day per acre when there exists certain specified location characteristics of the site. Don MacFeely, Laidlaw Transit There would be 56 buses for 175 days of school, with the 25 remaining buses parked on a site in Afton. The entire 81 buses would be back for annual inspections, but would not have driver vehicles parked. There will be no school buses parked on the west side of the CUP site. The fence line will be on the CUP property. The trees on the berm are 7 or 8' tall. The lights, requested by the developer, are designed for traffic convenience and not a necessity. The position of the fueling facility is to gain a pattern of flow through the yard. The fueling pad (which tank is sitting on) is doubled walled, bullet proof, and capsuled for any leaks that may occur. MPCA requires a clean up kit. The buses in Afton will be fueled in Afton. Bus washing: 2-1500 gallon storage tanks, 100% wash water will be captured on it. They will keep records of waste on and off the site. The buses are environmental friendly — have to meet the Clean Air Act. Council member LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 18, 2GUTQ 6
