COMMISSIONER FUCHS MOVED TO APPROVE THE PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AS AMENDED. COMMISSIONER EBERLEY SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. 4. Conditional Use Permit by Don Schroeder/P.H. Steve Bjork, Zoning Assistant. two separate conditional use 3rd Addition to amend the follows: indicated that the applicant is requesting permits on Lot 2, Block I, Elk River Plaza PUD Agreement. The two requests are as 1. To allow two structures on the lot. 2. To allow a motor vehicle service station. Mr. Bjork further indicated that he had discussed with the applicant splitting of the two parcels. If the parcels were split they would not meet the dimensional regulations required for the C-3. Since this property is located within a PUD, you can establish different dimensional regulations and if it is the concensus of the Planning Commission that this is allowable, then setbacks and lot frontage requirements should be established. Mr. Bjork indicated that PUD standards allow for smaller lots than what is required by City code. Mr. Bjork explained that we do not have a definition for gas service stations. We do have a definition for Motor Vehicle Service Stations. Staff made the interpretation that a Gas Service Station would be classified as a Motor Vehicle Service Station. The applicant is proposing to locate a "Quick Lube" operation within the 1,000 sq. ft. structure. If its determined that a "Quick Lube" may be appropriate for Page 2 . Planning Commission Minutes 7/25/89 that site certain conditions can be placed on it. Steve Bjork further indicated that the Planning Commission will have to act on the two issues; amendment for multiple structures to allow motor vehicle service stations on that site. Chairman one for hearing. Kimball opened the public hearing at this time. There being no or against the matter, Chairman Kimball closed the public Don Schroeder was present and submitted pictures of existing "Quick Lubes" to show how they fit in with the community. Mr. Schroeder indicated that "Quick Lubes" are relatively new and felt that this would be compatible with the existing car wash. Merle Artac of Penz Oil (future supplier for "Quick Lube) was present and indicated that they were very interested in the aesthetics of the building. Mr. Artac indicated that they felt it was important to develop a building that attracts people. We feel that this type of business will fit in well with the car wash next door. Mr. Artac explained that Penz Oil has a lot of experience developing lube centers as they are the major supplier of all these types of outlets. . Commissioner Eberley was concerned with the structure being too close to the west property line and the increase of traffic this would create. Steve Bjork explained that west, it still leaves a 31 two way traffic. He stated agreement between the adjacent in regards to the 14 ft. expansion to the ft. driving surface, which is adequate for that there is a joint parking and drive parcels. Commissioner Fuchs for "Motor Vehicle the next person Service Station" Commissioner Fuchs explained that we do not have an adequate definition Service Stations" If the applicant were to sell this, who moved in could classify this as a "Motor Vehicle and then come in and request gas and also auto repair. felt minor repair was hard to define. Commissioner Fuchs was concerned with the arrangement of this lot and felt he could not vote in favor of this conditional use permit request. He felt that two structures were not condusive to this lot. Steve Bjork indicated that Staff does not see any major concerns with two separate structure being located on this lot. . At this time, Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator gave a brief history regarding the two drives on the lot . Mr. Rohlf indicated that this was originally proposed as a furniture store. There were originally three drives proposed. Mr. Rohlf further noted, that as far as additional accesses on Freeport, it was the City that would not allow additional entrances. A reciprocal parking and drive agreement for all three lots was entered into. Steve Rohlf further indicated that all the traffic flow has been reviewed by staff and they have no problem with this. Page 3 . Planning Commission Minutes 7/25/89 Commissioner Fuchs explained that he was concerned about the traffic as he did not know what was going into the two additional stalls. could be very heavy compared to a furniture store. flow This Steve Bjork explained that parking was based on retail space not a furniture store. Commissioner Schroeder felt that the location and space of this site was much better than a lot of other Quick Lubes he had patronized. Commissioner Schroeder did not feel there was a problem with the lot size and traffic flow. Commissioner Schroeder noted that the Quick Lubes in the Twin Cities have a much smaller piece of property than what is located here. He felt the "Car Wash" and "Quick Lube" go together. Mr. Artac indicated that traffic should not be a problem. Mr. Artac explained that the Car Wash has eight times as many cars per day as the "Quick Lube" He stated that we are selling time and convenience. This type of service will be completed in about 10 minutes. . Commissioner Fuchs felt that this business would better fit another piece of property and would like to see the structure moved further back as this business will be setting out front in the shopping center. Steve Bjork indicated that there are constraints from building farther back because of the storm water sewer there. If this wasn't there they would be able to move the building back off Freeport. Mr Bjork further explained that you can control the building with setbacks and also can place limitation on the building. Commissioner Eberley indicated she would like to see more green space. Steve Bjork noted that there is room for additional landscaping if the Commission requires that. Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator gave a brief summary at this time to clarify the issues. He further indicated that the underlying land use is Highway Commercial. Typically we require one acre for that zoning designation per structure. The petitioner is short on acreage for two structures. Staff felt that the parking and drive would work. What they are short of is green space and setback. Steve Bjork required for the 40 ft. explained that they could conceivably meet all the setbacks the C-3 zone if they were to move the building north to meet rear yard setback. Mr. Bjork further explained that if the were designed under the C-3 standards, they could meet the However, it is a PUD, deviating from those requirements may a better plan. structures standards. give them Chairman Kimball was in agreement with Commissioner Fuchs and Eberley that more green space was needed. . Commissioner Fuchs suggested flip flopping the building as to allow for more green space. Page 4 . Planning Commission Minutes 7/25/89 Don Schroeder explained that they had a revised site plan from Penz Oil showing a 40 ft. by 30 ft. building. Mr. Schroeder indicated that the reason they wanted the additional 10 ft. was to expand the waiting area. The new plan shows a bigger waiting area. This would put us within 11 ft. from the property line with the building. Mr. Schroeder further indicated that if the future expansion was a problem they would eliminate this. Mr. Artac indicated that they had reviewed a number of sites in town and demographically this site ties in the best with the car wash to run a successful operation. Mr. Artac indicated that they would like to rework their plan to accommodate the Commission's concerns rather than look for a new site. Mr. Artac further indicated that this corner of the mall was a very popular site as this is going to be servicing a lot of people from the community. This seems to be a favorite site and if at all possible we would like to rework our plans. COMMISSIONER EBERLEY MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THIS ISSUE BE TABLED UNITL THE FOLLOWING MONTH TO ALLOW THE PETITIONERS TO WORK ON AN ALTERNATIVE PLAN. COMMISSIONER FUCHS SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. . Steve Bjork indicated that since this is not the site plan you want. you should problably table the site plan review and PUD Agreement to allow two structures on this lot. Mr. Bjork further indicated that they could also consider the "Motor Vehicle Service Station" request. but suggested tabling this also so staff could have time to come back with new definitions for "Motor Vehicle Service Station" and "Auto Repair Shops" to differentiate between the two operations. COMMISSIONER EBERLEY MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION TO TABLE THE ENTIRE PROPOSAL (TWO STRUCTURES ON A LOT. SITE PLAN REVIEW AND MOTOR VEHICLE SERVICE STATION). COMMISSIONER FUCHS SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5- O. At this time the Commissioners recommendation. gave their reasons for their Chairman Kimball would like to see more green space as this is an important consideration for future salability of the site. Chairman Kimball further indicated that he was concerned with the access off of Freeport Avenue. shape of the lot and problem with setbacks. He indicated he had a problem with the definitions for "Auto Repair Shop" and "Motor Vehicle Service Station." . Commissioner Fuchs indicated he flopped. Commissioner Fuchs was would like to see and a better "Motor Vehicle Service Station." would like to see the building flip in agreement with Chairman Kimball he definition for "Auto Repair Shops" and Commissioner Johnson was also concerned about the lack of green space and felt there was a problem with the setbacks. . . . Page 5 Planning Commission Minutes 7/25/89 Commissioner Eberely would like to see more more relief from asphalt and concrete. Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, questioned the petitioners on whether the internal water and storm sewer was private or public. Mr. Rohlf further explained that when the petitioners come back with a new site plan to let staff know if this is private or public as there were easements to protect. Mr. Rohlf further indicated that he felt it was vital that the peitioners show all easements on this site. Mr. Rohlf indicated you could be placing your buildings on top of an easement. 5. Conditional Use Permit by Elk River Utilities/P.R. Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, explained that Elk River Municipal Utilities is requesting a conditional use permit to allow a Governmental Facility to construct a storage shed for storing transformers for testing of PCB's. This facility is proposed to be located at 1705 Main Street. Mr. Rohlf recommended three things that should be considered if this Government Facility is allowed in this area: 1. The design and use of the building done as such to lower potential of a fire. 2. That there is a solid plan for who is contacted if there is an fire. What are the procedures and what are the steps to avoid a confusion? 3. On-going inspection to make sure that the dike area is in tack. Chairman Kimball opened the public hearing. There being on one for or against the request, Chairman Kimball closed the public hearing. Bill Birrenkott of Elk River Utilities explained that a portion of the proposed building would be used for storing of transformers. The remainder of the facility would be used for other utility equipment and inventory. Mr. Birrenkott further explained that once you take a transformer down with the intention of not reusing it again, the law says they have to assume that they contain PCB's. While you test the transformers and make the assumptions they contain PCB's, they are stored in a diked area. Mr. Birrenkott indicated that if a transformer is found to have PCB's they are removed as as possible. Commissioner Johnson questioned Mr. Birrenkott on how soon the transformers would be removed if found to have PCB's. Commissioner Johnson indicated she was uncomfortable with "as soon as possible." Mr. Birrenkott indicated that the transporter would come from South Dakota within a week or two. We are just now becoming aware of the things we have to do. The parties from South Dakota do not do the testing. We have just received sample bottles to do the testing. Three weeks after you draw the samples you will get results back. Page 6 . Planning Commission Minutes 7/25/89 Steve Rohlf. Building and Zoning Administrator noted that the impacts of PCB's has only recently become known. I feel this can be done properly. but with the possibility of PCB's its prudent for the City to deal with the transformers as PCB contaminates. Commissioner Johnson questioned staff on why this was called a "Governmental Facility" and not an "Accessory Building" and how do we determine the difference? Steve Rohlf explained that he had talked to the City Attorney and they agreed that Government Facility was a use by itself and both staff and the City Attorney felt Governmental Facility is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. They also felt this was too broad of a term that staff should define Governmental Facility more specifically. Commissioner Johnson felt that this site is an industrial type use. What would happen if they expand as this is on the river next to a residential distrtict? Commissioner Eberley questioned the "Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan." as to what it is. where it is. and also who is responsible to see that this is carried out? Bill Birrenkott explained that they do have a plan on file which entails notifying both the State and Federal. rope off the area and take samples to determine whether there is PCB's in the soils in case of a dangerous spill. . Commissioner building in Eberley was also concerned about the construction of the case of a fire in which potential contaminates are stored. Steve Rohlf suggested separating the transformer storage from the rest of the building with firewalls. Bill Birrenkott felt this would be expensive. Mr. Birrenkott felt that if there was that much concern regarding this issue. maybe they shouldn't even be thinking about it. Mr. Birrenkott indicated all this really entails is a tin roof and diked area. Transformers need to be protected from the rain in a diked area. Steve great they Rohlf. Building and Zoning Administrator indicated that there is a concern regarding fire and the toxins given off from PCB's when burn. which is one of the most toxic things known to man today. Commissioner Fuchs indicated he would prefer to see the transformer storage at the Utility Site. He further indicated that the Utility property on Cty. Road 1 is an unstatisfactory site as it is directly down wind from the school in case of a fire. Commissioner Fuchs explained that he could foresee sheet rocking two walls for fire protection for the building that he is proposing. . Steve Rohlf indicated that the main concerns are keeping PCB's from the ground water. the river and from burning. Mr. Rohlf indicated that sheet rocking two walls would be inexpensive and gives a comfort level if fire breaks out in other parts of the building that it would not affect the transformers prior to the Fire Department getting there. Mr. Rohlf indicated for a fairly inexpensive condition you CQuld alleviate a major concern. Bill Birrenkott indicated that you may have. felt this would be relatively expensive. He further the dike is suppose to contain any kind of leakage that . . . Page 7 Planning Commission Minutes 7/25/89 COMMISSIONER FUCHS MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPORVAL OF THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT BY ELK RIVER MUNICIPAL UTILITIES TO CONSTRUCT A STORAGE SHED FOR STORING TRANSFORMERS FOR TESTING OF PCB'S WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1. THAT THE DIKED STORAGE AREA FOR THE TRANSFORMERS HAS ENOUGH CAPACITY TO MEET THE FEDERAL REGULATIONS. FURTHER. ALL OTHER DESIGN CRITERIA FOR THAT DIKED AREA MUST BE MET. 2. THAT THE UTILITIES GET APPROVAL OF A VARIANCE FOR METAL SKINNED CONSTRUCTION OR CHANGE THEIR DESIGN. 3. THAT SOIL BORINGS ARE REQUIRED TO ASSURE THAT THE DIKED AREA WILL NOT SETTLE AND CRACK. 4. THAT THE TRANSFORMER STORAGE AREA BE SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THE BUILDING BY SHEETROCK FIREWALLS 5. THAT THE UTILITIES "SPILL AND PREVENTION CONTROL AND COUNTERMEASURE PLAN" BE APPROVED BY JOHN LICHNER OF LIESCH AND ASSOCIATES AND COpy SENT TO RUSS ANDERSON. FIRE CHIEF. 6. THAT THE TRANSFORMER STORAGE AREA BE INSPECTED ANNUALLY BY THE BUILDING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT. 7. THAT THE FIRE CHIEF AND EMERGENCY PREPARDNESS OFFICER REVIEW CONDITIONS AND PRESENT EMERGENCY PLANS. COMMISSIONER EBERLEY SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 4-1. This recommendation was based upon the findings of fact that Governmental Facilities have been identified in our ordinance as being consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Since we amended our ordinance they are allowed in residential areas and that development of this proposal is properly done as it will not affect adjacent property owners. Commissioner Johnson was opposed to this request as she felt this was an expansion of an industrial use in a residential area. The next topic discussed was the variance request. Steve Rohlf explained that Tim Keane's interpretation is that this is not a use variance. it is a variance on a standard. The Planning Commission must weigh out the metal skin exterior question by the five standards for a variance. Steve further explained that if the Utilities wish to pursue the metal skin exterior. they must apply for a variance. In order to not delay Mr. Birrenkott's request. I am asking for a recommendation from the Planning Commission. This will be advertised as a variance prior to the City Council meeting. The public will also be notified prior to the City Council meeting. COMMISSIONER FUCHS MOVED TO GRANT THE VARIANCE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A METAL KIN BUILDING BASED UPON THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS OF FACT: . . . Page 8 Planning Commission Mintues 7/25/89 1. THAT THE LITERAL ENFORCEMENT OF THE ORDINANCE WOULD CAUSE UNDUE, UNNECESSARY, UNAVOIDABLE HARDSHIP IN CASE OF THE UTILITIES AS THEY COULD NOT PUT UP A COMPARABLE BUILDING AS TO WHAT THEY HAVE AT A REASONABLE EXPENSE. 2. THAT THIS WOULD CAUSE A HARDSHIP BY SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH ARE PECULIAR TO THE LAND AND STRUCTURE INVOLVED AND WHICH ARE NOT CHARACTERISTIC OF OR APPLICABLE TO OTHER LANDS OR STRUCTURES IN THE SAME DISTRICT FOR AN EXISTING BUILDING FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CITIZENS IN ELK RIVER WHICH CONTAIN THE TRANSFORMERS AND PCB'S 3. THAT THE VARIANCE WILL NOT BE INJURIOUS TO OR ADVERSELY AFFECT THE HEALTH, SAFETY OR WELFARE OF THE RESIDENTS OR THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR THE PROPERTY SINCE THERE IS ALREADY AN EXISTING METAL SKINNED STRUCTURE ON THE LOT. COMMISSIONER EBERLEY SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 2-3. The motion was defeated 2-3. Commissioner Kimball, Johnson and Schroeder disagree~; with the findings of fact as they did not consider this a hardship. 6. Variance Request by Bill Klemz/P.H. Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, indicated that Mr. & Mrs. William Klemz are requesting a variance for a 32 ft. encroachment on the 75 ft. setback required from Lake Orono to accommodate an addition to his house located at 12897 Orono Road. Chairman Kimball opened the public hearing. There being no one for or against the matter, Chairman Kimball closed the public hearing. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCE REQUEST FOR A 32 FT. ENCROACHMENT ON THE 75 FT. SETBACK TO ACCOMMODATE AN ADDITION REQUESTED BY MR. & MRS. WILLIAM KLEMZ OF 12897 ORONO ROAD BASED UPON THE FACT THAT THE KLEMZ MET THE FIVE STANDARDS AS OUTLINED IN STAFF'S MEMO. COMMISSIONER SCHROEDER SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. 7. Past Approvals by Gary Santwire Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, updated the Commission on this issue as outlined in his memo dated July 25, 1989. Mr. Santwire explained the changes on the site plans from what was originally approved by the Planning Commission. Mr. Santwire indicated that the former Building Inspector authorized these changes. COMMISSIONER FUCHS MOVED TO APPROVE THE SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE 10/22/87 DRAWING REQUESTED BY GARY SANTWIRE FOR PARCEL VI BARRINGTON PLACE PUD WITH THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS: 1. THAT EIGHT MORE TREES ARE TO BE PLANTED IN A 10 FOOT QUEN IilPAel: ALONG THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE PROPERTY BY THE SPRING OF 1990. . . . Page 9 Planning Commission Minutes 7/25/89 2. THAT 'nIE LANDSCAPING OF BUILDING C IS FINISHED. :}. THAT THE UNDEVELOPED PORTION OF THE SITE BEHIND BUILDING IS SEEDED WITH GRASS BY THE SPRING OF 1990. 4. THAT THE THREE BUILDINGS BE ALLOWED TO USE PARKING FOR LOADING AREAS DURING NON RUSH PERIODS. ~. THAT AN EASEMENT ASSURING THE RIGHT FOR THE OWNERS OF BUILDING C TO USE THE DRIVE NORTH OF CIRCLE C IS ACQUIRED BY THE DEVELOPER IF POSSIBLE. 6. ANY REVISIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. OOMMUSIONER JOHNSON SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 6-0. It was eXplained by Steve Rohlf that when a site plan is revised everything prior to that is void and all stipulations placed on it will not be referenced back, they will be reinstated. I feel that this pretty much cleans up the issue. This was a confusing issue for everyone. 7. Signage by Gary Santwire Steve Bjork, Zoning Assistant, indicated that the requesting signage approval for 580 Dodge Avenue. question is located within the Barrington Place PUD. Mr. that if the entire structure was developed using the total of 139 square feet of signage would be allowed. requesting 224 square feet of signage. applicant is The property in Rohlf indicated C-3 standards, a The applicant is Gary Santwire explained his signage request at this time indicating the signage will consist of 24 inch lettering with a 38 inch white surface and a 5 inch border all the way across. Mr. Santwire further indicated that they would like to construct a 10' x 5' off site sign to be located on Dodge Avenue. This sign would be to direct people back to 580 Dodge. After substantial discussion regarding signage, the consensus of the Commissioners was as follows: The Commissioners were in agreement that Mr. Santwire did not need that much signage on the building when Mr. Santwire was requesting additional signage located on Dodge Avenue. Mr. Santwire indicated that it is a proven fact that when your a certain distance away, the lettering has to be a certain size to be able to read it. Mr. Santwire indicated that 12" lettering is not large enough to read from the service road because of the distance that they are set back. Commissioner Johnson indicated she was comfortable with what is allowed under the C-3 standards. Chairman Kimball and Commissioner Eber1ey were in agreement with Commissioner Johnson. . . . Page 10 Planning Commission Minutes 7/25/89 Commissioner Fuchs felt they were in excess of 84 sq. ft. with what would be allowed for the C-3 standards. He indicated that he would like to see the signage cut down to 25% from what is requested. This would give Mr. Santwire a total of 168 sq. ft. Steve Rohlf indicated that staff would like to see them stay with the C-3 standards. However, since this building is in a PUD, signage require- ments can be altered. COMMISSIONER FUCHS MOVED TO APPROVE 200 SQUARE FEET OF SIGNAGE FOR MR. SANTWIRE'S BUILDING LOCATED IN BARRINGTON PLACE PUD FOR BUILDING CONLY. COMMISSIONER SCHROEDER SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. The next topic discussed was the directional signage requested by Gary Santwire. Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator indicated that the boulevard sign is not on the property owned by the petitioners. Therefore, it is not the City's problem but up to the petitioner to get the owner's permission. Mr. Rohlf suggested this type of sign should be called a "Permanent Area Identification Sign" for a development not an advertising sign as there is a moratorium currently on any advertising structures. COMMISSIONER SCHROEDER MOVED TO APPROVE 50 SQ. FT. PERMANENT AREA IDENTIFICATION SIGN REQUESTED BY GARY SANTWIRE AS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN. COMMISSIONER EBERLEY SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. 10. Park Dedication Fees for Commerical and Industrial Development COMMISSIONER FUCHS MOVED TO RECOMMEND THAT THE PARK DEDICATION FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY BE CHARGED $2,000 PER UNIT.

Planning Commission Minutes 7/25/89 Chairman Kimball would like to see the City budget for a video camera, VCR and TV monitor for Planning Commission and City Council use. 12. Discussion on City Policies and Future Ordinance Amendments Stephen Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, suggested tabling this item until the following Planning Commission meeting due to the lateness of the meeting. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to hold a Planning Commission workshop on August I, 1989 to be held at City Hall. The hours would be from 7:00 a.m to 9:00 p.m. The issues to be discussed were as follows: 1) Performance Standards for Commercial and Industrial Buildings. 2) Landscaping 3) Future Ordinance Amendments for Sign Ordinance. 13.
