They re proposing to construct an additional 120,000 square foot building on their property and ng Commission will also be hearing more requests from Tyson for a development view, and a major subdivision in order to combine their four lots into one. As part of this nough truck drivers. Because of this, Tyson is finding it necessary to explore other routes in current building. This is something at Tyson is not planning to move forward with for another two to five years. This is shown Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing and Consideration of Variance to Reduce the Front B Setback at Tyson Company Located at 4825 Mustang Circle; Planning Case VR2006-006 The applicant, fa front corners within seven and ten feet from the property line, and the additional parking area up to the front property line, with no setback from the Mustang Circle right-of-way. 4825 Mustang Circle comprises four lots which total approximately 20 acres and zoned I-1, Industrial. The Zoning Code requires a forty (40) foot front setback for buildings and parking areas located in Industrial districts. This variance request is part of a larg a add a railroad track spur from the tracks in New Brighton up into the new building. This property has significant wetlands on the west side of the property, which connect to Long Lake and the regional park. All the stormwater from the area drains into this wetland. The proposed new building, the future expansion space, and rail spur do not encroach into the wetlands. The Planni re project, they will also need to reroute a drainage easement which then the city would need to vacate that easement, and apply for a wetland buffer permit. Staff is only bringing the variance forward at this point because if the Planning Commission does not approve these reduced setbacks, Tyson will need to reconfigure their building footprint. We are also waiting for more information from Tyson before staff can make recommendations on the site plan. Tyson, along with many other trucking companies, are finding it virtually impossible to hire e order to continue moving freight. BelAir in New Brighton would also like to have rail access. They have come to an agreement with Tyson that will allow the tracks to cross their property and onto Tyson’s property, where this spur would end. On the site plan, there is shown to be an expansion to the th on the plans in order to see the entire expansion plans and help with the stormwater drainage planning.
