• Reports to the Planning Commission dated September 26 and October 24,
1995.
• Plans submitted by Novotny's (Exhibit A)
• Site plan approved by the Planning Commission (Exhibit B)
Overview
Novco, Inc. originally constructed a 2,560 square foot building in 1993 for the
purpose of storing trucks. Since that time the business has evolved into more
of a truck terminal, which is a conditional use in the light industrial zoning
districts. Therefore, this conditional use permit not only applies to the
second principal structure but also grants a conditional use permit for Novco
to operate a truck terminal on the subject property.

• Proposed Office Building
The proposed office building will be approximately 520 square feet in size and
will resemble a small residential garage. This structure will be used as part
of the Novotny trucking business as an office and dispatch center. The
architectural material proposed for this new structure will meet all the
requirements listed in the city zoning ordinance.
•
One of the concerns staff has with the proposed location of the second
building is its proximity to the existing septic field. Staff would recommend
that proper separation between the building and septic system be maintained
to protect the drain field from being damaged during construction.
Compliance With Approved Site Plan
One of the issues the Planning Commission was concerned with is Novco's
lack of improvements from their approved site plan in 1993. The Planning
Commission requested that Novco provide the Planning Commission a site
plan illustrating existing and proposed landscaping, location of bituminous
surface as well as required curbing. This plan is attached as exhibit A in the
Council's packet. The one improvement that is not clearly reflected on Novco
site plan is the installation of curb and gutter for parking areas within the
front yard as required in the city's ordinance. The attached site plan labeled
exhibit B is the plan which was approved by the Planning Commission,
which for the most part corresponds with Novco's plans except for the
installation of curb and gutter in the front of the buildings.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the conditional use
permit by Novco, Inc. to operate a truck terminal and construct a second
principal building with the following conditions.
1. All site improvements shown on the site plan labeled Exhibit B, be
installed and completed by June 1, 1996.
2. The improvements to the parking lot include bituminous surface and
curb and gutter from the property line to the front building face as
required in the performance standard section of the zoning ordinance.
Bituminous millings may be utilized on that portion of the parking
area where trucks will be parking and maneuvering.

building to determine if all codes are met relative to the existing use of

permit.
Recommendation
Staff concurs with the Planning Commission recommendation to approve the
conditional use permit for Novco, Inc.

principal structure and operate a truck terminal on an industrial lot in Rail
10 Industrial Park.
Back - 'round
This item was presented to the Planning Commission on September 26th.
The Planning Commission tabled this item until the October 24th meeting to
allow the applicant an opportunity to prepare a site plan illustrating the
existing and proposed improvements to the property. Since the Planning
Commission meeting, the applicant has submitted a plan to staff outlining
the existing conditions, as well as the improvements they would like to
install.
Please refer to the attached Planning Commission report dated September
26, 1995, for additional information on this particular request.
Revised Site Plan
Attached are two exhibits for the Planning Commission's consideration. The
first is a plan submitted by the applicant (Novotnys) illustrating the existing
conditions and the improvements that they would like to install. The second
exhibit is the same site plan with some modifications made by staff that will
be recommended to the Planning Commission. The two primary differences
between the plans submitted by Novotnys and staff's recommended plan is
the following: (1) As outlined at the last Planning Commission meeting,
Novotny's current parking area consists of both a bituminous surface as well

as an area improved with bituminous millings. Staff is recommending the
• area utilized by vehicles be improved with a bituminous surface. (2) The
plans submitted by the applicant does not include any curb and gutter. This
standard was included as part of the City's performance standards
subsequent to the building being constructed in 1993; however, as part of the
parking lot improvements that need to be completed staff is recommending
that the curb and gutter be installed in accordance with the zoning
ordinance. This improvement will be consistent with some of the
surrounding property owners.
•
Recommendation
It is recommended the Planning Commission approve the conditional use
permit request by Novco, Inc. to operate a truck terminal and construct a
second principal building with the following conditions:
1) All site improvements shown on the approved plans dated 11/10/93 be
installed and completed by June 1, 1996.
2) The improvements to the parking lot include bituminous surface and
curb and gutter from the property line to the front building face, as
required in the performance standards setforth in the zoning
ordinance.
3) Additional information be provided to the building department,
verifying the location of the existing septic system, assuring staff that
there will be no conflicts with the proposed building and existing
system.
4) The building official and fire chief perform an inspection of the
existing building to determine if all codes are met relative to the
existing use of the building and outdoor storage tanks.

ITEM 5.10.
Novco, Inc. is requesting a conditional use permit to construct a second
principal structure and operate a truck terminal on an industrial lot in Rail
10 Industrial Park.

• Excerpt from Performance Standards
Backaroand
Novco, Inc. originally constructed a 2,560 square foot building in 1993 for the
sole purpose of storing a couple of trucks. In order to construct this building,
Novco was required to go through a site plan review process prior to receiving
a building permit. Attached is Exhibit A illustrating the plan that was
approved on November 10, 1993. The proposed site plan illustrating the
second accessory building is attached and labeled Exhibit B.
13065 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 490 • Elk River, MN 55330 • (61 2) 441 -7420 • Fax: (61 2) 441 -7425
Proposed Use
• When Novotn Y s originally constructed the building, it was presented as a
building that would be used for storage and warehousing which is a
permitted use in the I -1 (Light Industrial) zoning district. Under that
interpretation, staff proceeded to review their proposed site plan and issue a
building permit based on that particular use. However, with the addition of
the second principal building which will serve as an office area and the
current operation of the facility, staff believes a better interpretation of the
use is a truck terminal. A truck terminal is a conditional use permit in the
light industrial district; therefore, this conditional use permit request has
been expanded to include a truck terminal, as well as the second principal
use.
Proposed Office Building
The proposed office building will be 520 square feet in size and will resemble
a small residential garage. The structure will have a hip roof with asphalt
shingles and pre - finished vinyl siding on all sides. These architectural
materials meet the city's architectural requirements listed in the zoning
ordinance (see attached excerpt from performance standards).
The proposed second building meets all of the industrial setback
requirements; however, staff is concerned with its location if it interferes
with the existing septic system. The approved site plan from November of
1993 indicated the septic system on the west side of the property; however,
staff believes it was relocated to a location close to the proposed building.
Therefore, additional information will need to be provided to make sure the
building does not interfere with the existing septic system.
Compliance with Approved Site Plan
The approved site plan from November 1993, illustrated a bituminous
parking surface along with landscaping that was to be installed as part of the
improvements. Staff is concerned that these improvements have not been
installed in accordance with the approved plan and would recommend that a
condition of the conditional use permit state that the improvements be
installed prior to June 1st of 1996.
Since the original site plan was approved in November of 1993, the Planning
Commission and City Council have approved anordinance requiring curb and
gutter within front yard areas of industrial development. Furniture and
Things located across the street and Custom Cutter and Grinding (under
• construction) have both installed curb and gutter in accordance with city
s:p lanningpc:cu95 -23
ordinance. Therefore, staff recommends Novco, Inc. also install curb and
gutter along with the paving of their parking and drive areas.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit request by Novco,
Inc. to operate a truck terminal and construct a second principal building
with the following conditions:
1) All site improvements shown on the approved plans dated 11/10/93 be
installed and completed by June 1, 1996.
2) The improvements to the parking lot include curb and gutter from the
property line to the front building face, as required in the performance
standards setforth in the zoning ordinance.
3) Additional information be provided to the building department,
verifying the location of the existing septic system, assuring staff that
will be no conflicts with the proposed building and existing system.
4) The building official and fire chief perform an inspection of the
existing building to determine if all codes are met relative to the
existing use of the building and outdoor storage tanks.
