Background
The applicant is proposing to construct an 80' X 50' pole building. The
building was originally constructed in 1993 and was destroyed by wind in
July of this year. The conditional use permit is required for the construction
of a second principle building.
In 1988, Metro Gravel was granted a conditional use permit for a truck
terminal at this site. Approved at that time was a site plan which included
411 the existing building, an enclosed storage area on the north side of the
13065 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 490 • Elk River, MN 55330 • TDD &Phone: (612) 441-7420 • Fax: (612) 441-7425

III building and an office area on the south side. Site improvements included
crushed bituminous surface on the driving areas, a paved off street parking
area, a chain link fence around the perimeter of the property and
underground fuel tanks.
In 1991, the applicant was granted an amendment to allow truck repair as
part of their conditional use permit. No new structures were approved at this
time. Conditions of the approval included limitations on the number of trucks
and trailers on site at one time, a paved parking area located adjacent to the
building and landscaping in the amount of one tree for every 40 linear feet of
their lot perimeter. The landscaping included as a condition of the 1991
approval has not been installed. It is suggested that compliance with the
conditions of the approval granted in 1991 be made a condition of approval
for this application.
Overview
Proposed Building
The applicant is proposing to construct a 50 ` X 80' pole building. The
building will be located to the rear of the lot, behind the existing building.
• Metal buildings are allowed in industrial districts provided that 25% of the
exterior of the building consists of materials included on the list of approved
materials found in the landscape ordinance. The applicant should provide
elevations that show that the building complies with the 25% requirement.
Parking and Access
The parking and travel areas are currently surfaced with mix of gravel and
crushed asphalt. The 10 foot setback along the north property line has not
been maintained. The surfaced area does not include any curb or gutter. The
site has a driveway on Jarvis. Staff is suggesting that the parking and travel
area between the existing building and Jarvis be paved and include curb and
gutter. The 10 foot setback will have to be maintained along all property
lines. The pavement should extend back to the front of the building and the
front of the fueling station. Seven parking spaces are provided in front of the
existing building and 2 handicapped spaces are provided on the south side of
the building. The applicant is not proposing any new grading or excavating
as part of this project.
The site plan does not include any curb and gutter. In order to bring the site
up to the current performance standards for industrial sites, staff is
• suggesting that concrete curb and gutter be included around the perimeter of
the pavement in the front of the site.

• Landscaping
There are 4 trees on the property that meet the minimum size requirements
of the landscape ordinance. It does not appear that the trees required as a
condition of their 1991 approval have been installed. Forty-three trees were
required as a condition of the previous approval. Those trees are shown on
the site plan for this application. The landscaping includes 25 overstory trees,
11 conifers and 7 ornamental trees. No trees will be planted within a 30 foot
sight distance extending east from Jarvis along the proposed 156th Avenue
or north along Jarvis from 156th Avenue.
The applicant has equipment, junk and assorted debris currently being kept
outside. Any outdoor storage of material or equipment has to be within the
screened storage area. The applicant has indicated that the proposed building
will be used to store equipment which will help to clean up the site.
The dumpster is currently located in front of the existing building. it should
be move to a location that is not so visible from the street and contained
within an enclosure.
• Recommendation
It is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of
this request with the following conditions:
1. MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT STORED OUTSIDE MUST BE KEPT WITHIN THE ENCLOSED
OUTDOOR STORAGE AREA.
2. THE PARKING AND DRIVE AREA SHALL BE PAVED TO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING
AND TO THE CONCRETE FUELING AREA. THE PERIMETER OF THE PAVED AREA SHALL
INCLUDE CONCRETE CURB AND GUTTER.
3. NO PAVEMENT OR GRAVEL SHALL BE WITHIN 10 FEET OF ANY PROPERTY LINE.
4. THE DUMPSTER SHALL BE KEPT WITHIN A TRASH ENCLOSURE. THE EXTERIOR OF THE
ENCLOSURE WILL MATCH THE EXISTING BUILDING AND SHOULD BE LOCATED EITHER
BEHIND THE EXISTING BUILDING OR ADJACENT TO THE PROPOSED BUILDING.
5. ALL THE CONDITIONS PART OF THE CUP APPROVED ON SEPTEMBER 16, 1991 SHALL BE
COMPLIED WITH.
6. 25%OF THE EXTERIOR OF THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE SHALL CONSIST OF MATERIAL
LISTED ON THE APPROVED MATERIALS LIST OUTLINED IN THE LANDSCAPE
ORDINANCE.
