Overview
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for outdoor storage of portable
sanitation units. The applicant would like to utilize tbe existing building for warehouse and
office space for tbeir business, Elite Sanitation. Elite Sanitation provides portable sanitation
facilities. The units are pumped/ emptied off site and tbe waste disposed of at a licensed
facility. The units are tben brought back to tbe 4th street site, where tbey are inspected,
cleaned and stored for future use. No vehicles will be stored outside
The property is zoned 12 Medium Industrial and outdoor storage is allowed as a conditional
use. If no outdoor storage were involved, tbere would be no conditional use permit required
for tbe proposed business to locate at this site. The surrounding property to the west and
nortb is Elk River Machine and is used for outdoor storage, to tbe west is Adams paints and
across tbe street is tbe old lumber yard.
Site Plan
The property is located on tbe north side of 4th Street, between Elk River Machine and
Adams Paints. There is a 28' X 80' (2,240 sf.) building on site. The building will be used for
parking trucks, cleaning and inspecting tbe units and office space. None of tbe area outside
of tbe building is improved. The west property line and Yz of tbe rear property line is fenced
witb a chain link fence. The site plan indicates tbat tbe outdoor storage area will be located
to tbe rear and along tbe east side of tbe building.
Site Improvements
Since no part of tbe site is surfaced witb an approved material, tbe area outside of tbe
storage area should be paved. The area to be utilized for outdoor storage should be surfaced
witb Class V material. The fence should be extended so tbat it encloses tbe entire area tbat
will be used for outdoor storage. Because tbe adjacent land uses are outdoor storage, tbe size
of tbe lot and tbe constraints associated witb working witb a fully developed site, additional
screening is not necessary.
Plannina Commission Meetina
At tbe Planning Commission meeting held on October 26th, no one spoke at tbe public
hearing. The Commission asked about tbe cleaning process and whetber tbere is any odor.
The applicant explained tbat no hazardous chemicals are used in tbe cleaning process and
once tbe units are cleaned tbere is no odor. The Commission discussed screening tbe
outdoor storage from 4th Street. They included a condition tbat a stockade fence be installed
along 4th Street on tbe east side of tbe building.
Recommendation
The Planning Commission and staff recommend tbat tbe City Council approve of this
request for a conditional use permit for outdoor storage witb tbe following conditions;

ELITE SANATATION
"Wbere IDe treat pou like a 1king or ~ueen on tbe tbrone"
Elite Sanitation is owned and operated by the Paul family, seventeen year residents of Elk
River. The family business is very simple, providing portable sanitation facilities on an
on call basis. After acquiring a competitor, Portables Plus based in Brooklyn Park,
earlier this year, the Company would be based at the proposed Elk River facility.
The operation of the business at the proposed site in Elk River on 4th Street will consist of
maintaining the sanitation enclosures in a clean and pre-inspected condition ready for
transport at any time to any such site as may be required. The company will be prepared
when a call for services is received to load the requested number of sanitation enclosures
onto the Company truck and transport them to; Park & Recreation, Community, and
Special events; Construction and Building sites; and Temporary or Emergency Situation
sites, based upon need or circumstance. Once the enclosures arrive at a site they are
again inspected for use, filled with water mixed with a deodorizer, stocked with
necessary supplies, and final cleaning touchups are performed. The units are then ready
for public use. The Company maintains the units when placed in service on a scheduled
basis depending on the level of need or use until temporary sanitation services are no
longer required. When a call for pickup is received the Company, upon arrival at the site
of temporary service, empties each unit of all of the waste/deodorizing water mixture and
loads the enclosures onto the truck for transport back to the Company facilities where
they are cleaned and inspection in readiness until needed again. The waste/deodorizing
water mixture is transported to a Metropolitan Council, MPCA waste dump site, usually
the site in Coon Rapids, MN off of Foley Blvd, for proper disposal under license and
permit issued and with oversight by the Met Council.
The sanitation enclosures will be the only items commonly placed outside from time tb
time at the site until needed for on site service. Trucks and repair of the enclosures are
kept or performed inside the building.
The business is currently run by the Paul Family, John and Denise, their two children
along with Denise's father Ken. Future plans may include modest expansion and the
addition of several new employees although nothing is currently in the works.
Thank you for considering Elite Sanitation's request for a Conditional Use Permit for
outside storage at the 4th street facility. If you have any questions or concerns please
contact Ron Touchette at 612-685-0373.
