Background/Discussion
Lake State Recycling wishes to relocate their existing business to a 30,000 square foot building at 19131
Industrial Boulevard. The property is zoned I-1(light industrial) where Recycling Processing Centers
require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Outdoor storage allowed as accessory to principal use.
POWERED R1
NATURE
The applicant is seeking a CUP to operate a recycling outlet for ferrous and non-ferrous metals and all
forms of electronics. They currently operate in a building in the same development but have outgrown
that structure.
They currently employ nine full time employees and add 4-6 temps during peak time of the year. The
hours of operation will be Monday - Friday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. (10 p.m. time to time)
Analysis
Outdoor Storage
The outside storage area will consist of(2) 8-yard dumpsters, (3) 40-53' dry vans, a 30-yard roll off, and
gas dispensers. The outdoor storage, approximately 10,000 square feet in size,will be located on the
southeast portion of the site on an existing gravel area. Staff is recommending screening, size, and height
limits to the outdoor storage area.
Transportation/ Circulation
There are two access points off of Industrial Boulevard to the site. One is on the north side of the
building accessing the parking lot and the other is on the south side of the building accessing the product
drop-off location.
There are currently 32 parking spaces and the ordinance requires 16 stalls.
Landscaping
Per ordinance, 35 trees are required. In situations where the landscaping requirements are not met, the
city has required modifications in scale with the proposed business. Staff recommends that a total 15
overstory trees be added.
Lighting
It does not appear any site lighting is being proposed.
Comprehensive Plan
The comprehensive plan guides the property for Industrial. The Industrial land use includes all forms of
businesses with manufacturing, distribution,warehousing or other industrial use and is commonly
referred to as "Light Industrial', "Medium Industrial', or"General Industrial."The majority of Elk River
industrial development is classified as "Light Industrial".
The proposed use is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Applicable Regulation
The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can be ordered only if the use at the proposed location:
1. Will not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate
viciniy or the public health, safey, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the ciy.
As this is an industrial use in an industrial zoned district, the proposed use will not endanger,
injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity
or the public health, safety,morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the
neighborhood or the city.

Lake State Recycling Inc. narrative/Classification, Recycling Process Center w/outdoor storage
Lake State Recycling Inc. has been operating out of the current address since April i", 2011 under its current
owners, Harley Hanson and Chris Baumgardt. We started in the Elk River area occupying a modest 16,000 sq.ft.
facility. Through the past couple of years we have developed excellent relationships in the local community
creating the need to expand. We have discovered a building located less than a 1/4 mile from our current facility.
The location of the move minimizes the moving cost to us and also the loss of our current customer base.
What we do at Lake State is provide an outlet for Ferrous and Non Ferrous metals. We also recycle all forms of
electronics. In the brief time we have been working in Elk River we have gone from 3 to 9 full time employees.
During peak times of the year we will work with temp services and hire 4-6 more temp positions. On average we
recycle over 1,440 tons of ferrous metals annually. Also,over 3,000 tons of Non-ferrous,Aluminum, Copper and
Stainless Steel will be processed annually. Our Electronics division will process over 1500 tons of e-waste. All e-
waste is sorted and de manufactured in order to maximize profits.
Ferrous metals are either dropped off by the customer or picked up with our trucks. From there they are brought
into our facility for sorting and identification. We can either generate a check for payment on the spot or pay at
whatever interval the customer desires. We handle the nonferrous metals the same way. Our system is a
technologically advanced software system designed for our industry. It will take the customer's I.D.and picture.
It also saves all transactions along with pictures of every commodity with a date and time stamp.
For the electronics, we collect at our door or customer site. In this process there are some fees we charge in
order to process the electronics efficiently. We are fully licensed and bonded. We have been a registered
Collector and Recycler with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency since we established the company in 2011.
In the new location we will be conducting business from 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday. We very seldom
work weekends. From time to time we work no later than 10 pm. There are currently 32 parking spaces at the
new facility which is more than ample. Currently our outside storage consists of 2-80 yard dumpsters,3 40-53'
dry vans and an occasional 3o yard roll off. I have attached pictures with the application for everyone to see what
is being explained. We will also be storing gas dispensers outside. I have also labeled the location on the site
plan. Again there is a picture attached.
