APPLICANT
Sandy Chenvert, 112 Birch, St. Michael, MN.
REQUESTED ACTION
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to operate
a womens aerobic studio in the Cody Square building, located
behind the Bridgeman' s Restaurant on 173rd Avenue, NW.
SITE ZONING/LAND USE :

• SURROUNDING ZONING/LAND USE:

East: C3, Highway Commercial/LI, Light Industrial
LEGAL DESCRIPTION
Part of the southwest 1/4, of the southwest 1/4, section 2,
township 32 , range 26 . A complete legal description is
available upon request at City Hall . Attached is a map showing
the general location of the affected property.
UTILITIES
The site is served by a private septic system and well .
BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to operate
an aerobic studio in the Cody Square building. Aerobic studios
are classified as commercial recreation and require a
conditional use permit in the C3 zoning district. The
applicant plans on leasing approximately 1,200 square feet for
• the operation, located on the bottom floor of the Cody Square
building. Ms . Chenvert indicated she is planning on holding 5
classes per day with an average class size of 15-20 students .
The approximate hours of operation will be 8 : 00 - 10 : 30 a.m. ,
720 Dodge Avenue N.W., Elk River, Minnesota 55330 (612) 441-7420

IIIand 4 : 00 - 9 : 30 p.m. It appears that classes would not be
offered late morning and early afternoon. In addition to Ms .
Chenvert, staff would include one other employee at any given
time.
Two conditional use permits were previously issued in the Cody
Square building. In 1987, Mark Zieska, received a conditional
use permit to operate Z ' s Upholstery, which is no longer
operating in this area. In 1990, Richard Duggan, received a
conditional use permit to operate Marketech, a light
manufacturing firm, which is still located in the building.
Also located in the building is an office for Wm. John Builders .
LANDSCAPING
When the original conditional use permit was issued in 1987 ,
the current landscaping ordinance was not in place, however,
one of the stipulations of the original conditional use permit
was to plant shrubs on the west side of the building. Staff
inspection of this site indicated the shrubs have been
planted. The Planning Commission should make a determination
on whether this conditional use permit will trigger the new
landscaping ordinance requiring 1 tree per 40 feet of the
perimeter of this site. The 1987 site plans shows adequate
green space surrounding the hard surface parking lot to
• accomplish the required landscaping. The original conditional
use permit also stipulated the dumpster be screened from view.
This has not been done and should be added as a stipulation of
this request.
SIGNAGE
The applicant has requested a wall sign approximately 40 square
feet in size. The sign ordinance in the C3 zoning district
allows wall signage at a rate of 2 square feet per linear foot
of building frontage. The request is within the guidelines of
City ordinance.
DRAINAGE
The request does not involve the addition of any hard surfaced
area to the site, therefore, drainage should not be affected.
PARKING
According to the Elk River City Code, parking requirements for
athletic clubs or fitness centers should be provided at a ratio
of 1 space for each 200 square feet of floor area. Ms . Chenvert
plans on leasing approximately 1,200 square feet, therefore, 6
parking stalls would be required. The site currently contains
• 74 striped parking stalls . Because the existing uses in the
building have low parking requirements, there appears to be
adequate parking for this use.
CUP, Sandy Chenvert Page 3

. TRAFFIC
The existing uses do not create much traffic and should not
interfere with this request. The parking lot is striped with
arrows to direct the flow of traffic. The hours of operation
for the proposed use will not interfere with existing uses .
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT STANDARDS
Staff feels the proposed use is compatible with the existing
uses currently in the Cody Square building and will not have a
detrimental effect on the use and enjoyment of other property
owners in the vicinity. Further, the use will not create
excessive traffic, noise, smoke, or adversely affect public
facilities (i .e. , streets, police, fire, etc. ) . Staff feels
the proposed use is consistent with the seven standards
outlined in the Elk River City Ordinance, Section 900 . 42 .
BUILDING CODE
Cliff Skogstad, Building Official, is reviewing the proposed
layout of the aerobic studio to ensure appropriate building
codes are met.
RECOMMENDATION
IIIStaff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit to
operate an aerobic studio in the Cody Square building as it is
consistent with the seven standards for a conditional use
permit. Further, staff is recommending the following
stipulations be added:
1 . THE APPLICANT OBTAIN A BUILDING PERMIT.
2 . THE DUMPSTER IS SCREENED ACCORDING TO THE STIPULATION
OF THE PREVIOUS CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS.
3 . THE SIGNAGE BE CONSISTENT WITH THE C3 STANDARDS.
4 . A DETERMINATION IS MADE AS TO WHETHER THE CURRENT
LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS SHOULD BE PLACED ON THIS
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.
