Zoning/Landuse Rla (single family residential) / LR (low density residential) Attachments • Location map • Site Plan/aerial photo of the property • Letter from the applicant Overview Walter Krause, of Kruiser Trucking Inc. is requesting a conditional use permit to park his semi-tractor and two trailers on his residential property in the Ria zoning district. The property is located in a low-density residential district on property 5 acres in size. Mr. Krause is the owner and operator of a • semi-tractor with a flatbed trailer and a refrigerated trailer that he would 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 490 • Elk River, MN 55330 • TDD & Phone (763) 441-7420 • Fax (763) 441-7425 Memo to the Planning Commission/CU 00-42 December 27,2000 Page 2 III like to continue parking on his property for his business. Occasionally the trailers are brought home loaded. Mr. Krause has also indicated that occasionally some of his friends stop by with their semi tractors and trailers on their way home from work, but never overnight. The guests also park in Mr. Krause's driveway. Existing Conditions The residential property is kept neat and orderly with the semi tractor and trailers being parked between the house and pole building. The driveway is adequately surfaced with gravel to support the heavy vehicles and is well maintained. The semi-tractor and trailers are parked about 200 feet from the home to the north and is screened by an existing pole building and a triple row of conifers. The applicant's property lies at an elevation roughly 20' lower than the property to the north. Complaints This item has been brought forward after a complaint from a neighbor, however staff is unaware of any other previous complaints filed against the applicant. • Analysis The property appears large enough with an adequate distance and, or screening from adjacent properties to accommodate this land use in the residential zoning district. The issues related to trucking that tend to become nuisances are usually related to noise and fumes from idling, hours of operation, unsightliness of the use, repair and maintenance of equipment on site, and wear and tear on streets. Issues specific to this request that the Commission should include: idling of the truck for the refrigeration trailer when it is loaded, frequency of fully loaded trailers on the property and whether it is appropriate, repair and maintenance of the tractor and trailers on the property, and whether or not friend's tractors and trailers should be allowed to park on the property. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request with the following conditions: 1. THAT REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OF THE SEMI-TRACTOR AND III TRAILER BE CONDUCTED OFF SITE. \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\stevewen\pcmmo\cu00-42.doc Memo to the Planning Commission/CU 00-42 December 27,2000 Page 3 2.

I am an owner/operator of a semi truck that I park on my property. The truck is a 2000 Mack Vision and I also have a flatbed trailer and a refrigerated trailer that I use for my business. These are also stored on my property as I never know from day to day which one of the trailers I may need to use. I also have a couple of friends that like to stop over and visit occasionally-before going home- and they may come with their trucks and trailers. The time they are here is never over night-usually it is just a matter of an hour or two. • Thank You, Walter Krause •
