TO THE OAKDALE GUN CLUB
TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF A CARETAKER RESIDENCE AND STORAGE BUILDING
WHEREAS, the Oakdale Gun Club (Permitee) represents that it is the record fee owner of
the following described property situated in Washington County, Minnesota:
The property is legally described as (Section 26, Township 29, Range 21) Commencing at
The northeast comer of said southeast quarter of the southwest quarter; thence along the
east line thereof 212 feet to the point of beginning; thence west parallel to the north line
thereof 796 feet; thence south parallel to the west line thereof the distance of 918 feet;
thence east parallel to the south line of said southeast quarter of the southwest quarter
of distance of 796 feet to the east line thereof; thence north on said east line to the point
of beginning; to be used as a rifle range together with the rights of ingress and egress to
said property of the southeast quarter of the southwest quarter, Township 29, Range 21,
Section 26 and commonly known as 10386 1 Uh Street N., Lake Elmo, MN.
WHEREAS, on August 7,1998, Permitee submitted an Application to the City of Lake
Elmo for an amendment to its original conditional use permit approved by the City by Resolution
No. 88-5. The amendment is to permit construction of a 1,175 square foot residence; 832 square
foot attached garage; and a 2,280 square foot detached accessory storage building per plans
dated July 10, 1998.
WHEREAS, the Application was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Planning
Commission at a public hearing on September 14, 1998.
WHEREAS, the Application, the recommendations of the Planning Commission, and the
recommendations of the Staff were reviewed and the Application was approved by the City
Council on September 16, 1998.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council makes the following findings:
1. The proposed CUP Amendment will not result in additional impact on the public health, safety,
morals or general welfare of surrounding property. The operation of the Gun Club will not be
altered from that which presently is experienced as the result of this amendment.
2. The anticipated traffic conditions related to the use of this site may actually improve as the
result of this amendment by the substantially increased setback of the residence, and the
enhanced traffic stacking area from 10'h Street.
3. Effect on public utilities and school capacity is not applicable.
4. There may be improved visual impact and adjoining property values resulting from removal of
the barn and existing residence.
5. While the existing land use (target range) appears to be inconsistent with the Comprehensive
Plan since 1996, the single family residence and storage building replacement proposed by
this application as an amendment to the existing Conditional Use Permit would not be.
WHEREAS, the Application, the recommendations of the Planning Commission, and the
recommendations of the Staff were reviewed and the Application was approved by the City
Council on September 16, 1998.
FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED that a CUP amendment is hereby issued to Permitee, its
successors and assigns, to permit construction of the residence and storage building subject to
the following conditions:.
Compliance with all terms and conditions of City Council Resolution No. 88 -5, Approving a
Conditional Use Permit for an outdoor target range to Oakdale Gun Club.
2. Demolition of the existing residence.
3. Amendment of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan to reclassify the west
40 acres of the Oakdale Gun Club property from OP (Open Space Preservation) to RAD
(Rural Agricultural). The reguiding of the land should be in the context of the overall
Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
APPROVED by the Lake Elmo City Council on the 61t day of October, 1998.
