Prepared by Chris Leeseber , Park Planner Reviewed by erem Barnhart, Plannin Reviewed by Action Requested Staff and the Planning Commission recommend the Ci1fy Council approve the proposed language as shown in Exhibit A. Background/Discussion The reason the applicant is requesting an amendment to allow accessory structures in the Business Park zoning district is they need to provide separate warehousing space to store certified material (steel and aluminum bars) for an aerospace customer to meet the inilitary and aerospace compliances, which are mandated. The Planning Commission discussed this topic at a previous workshop meeting and directed staff to draft the language as shown to allow one accessory structure as a Conditional Use Permit in the Business Park zoning district.

Action Motion by _ Second by ----4-- Vote Follow Up Case File: OA 07-07 Page 2 Ordinance Amendment Alliance Machine General Information Applicant 60 Day Rule Requested Action Location and Size Alliance Machine The application has been deemed complete as of May 10,2007. The City must take action by June 30, 2007 Ordinance Amendme~t All Business Park zonipg districts Overview Currently accessory structures are not allowed in the Business Park zoning district. The applicant would like to construct an accessory structure for storage of certified material. Attached to this structure would be a dumpster enclosure which is required by the City. They have indicated the structure would be built of the same materials as the existing building, which does meet the design guidelines for the district. The storage of certified material does not have to be in a separate structure. With the applicant's specific property, they want to build a detached st1Rlcture, verses an attached structure, so they can expand the size of the current building when needed in the future. Their hope is this will occur in 5- 10 years. If they attach the new structure to the current building, it will block emergency vehicle access to the back of their building, which they built per the City's request specifically for emergency vehicle access. For these reasons, the applicant is asking for an Ordinance Amendment to allow an accessory structure in the Business Park zoning districts. Planning Commission Actions The Planning Commission reviewed this request at their meeting on June 12,2007. Due to lack of information, they tabled the request to review it at their next workshop meeting. The Planning Commission discussed this topic at a workshop meeting. After much discussion, the Planning Commission felt that accessory structures were appropriate only when matching the principal structure. There was discussion on how they could be allowed as an Interim Use, but was decided that fmancially that would be negative. The Planning Commission directed staff to draft the language as shown in Exhibit A to allow one accessory structure as a Conditional Use Permit in; the Business Park zoning district. This a summary of what is being recommend: 1. A Conditional Use Permit would be required for all accessory structures. 2. Accessory structures would need to be the same materials as those of the existing principal structure. 3. The maximum size allowed for an accessory structure be limited to 1,200 square feet per properry. 4. Accessory structures shall not be allowed in front yards. 5.

Z 2' z ~ Vi 1r N Greetings, The following is a proposal for a small storage building with an attached dumpster enclosure on the Alliance Machine Inc. property at 17520 Tyler Street, Elk River. This location is in the Northstar Business Park. Thepurpose is to store certified material (steel and aluminum bars) separate from our current in house stock. Our aerospace customer insists we do this to meet the military and aerospace compliances which are mandated. If we cannot provide separate warehousing for this material we could jeopardize our business relationship with one of our largest accounts. This additional structure would be constructed of the same materials and conform to the same architecture as our current building. We would also attach to this storage building a dumpster enclosure as requested by the city. Alliance Machine Inc. moved to Elk River in April of 2006. Alliance Employs 32 people. We have approximately parking for 50 vehicles and expansion for 50 more ifneed be. We currently do not have any outdoor storage. Because of appearance, we do not wish to store anything outside. There would be no grading or tree removable needed to put up our storage building. The building would be constructed of rough faced block to match the building and have a steel gate locking the dumpster area. The estimated time frame would be about 60 days to complete. The reason we ask for the amendment to allow us to build a detached structure, verses an attached structure, is so we can expand the size of our current building when needed in the future. If we attach the new structure to the current building, this will prevent any future expansion and block fire truck access to the back of our building.. We had a drive way built in back just for fire truck access. Alliance, by request of the city, needs to build a detached structure for the dumpster enclostrre. Weare currently asking to build a storage facility connected to the dumpster enclosure instead of the existing building. If this is permitted, the structure will be done tastefully and professionally. It will have matching stone and fit the theme of the surrounding buildings. The benefit to the city will be that this stora~e building will prevent any outside storage that seems to take place in some of the older! industrial parks. It will be made from block and other maintence free material so it willlbok uniform to its surroundings and, it will promote a more safe and secure area in and around Northstar Business Park. Thanks for your consideration.
