Accessory Structures, Case No. OA07-07, Public Hearing
Action Requested
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of 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 military 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.

Requested Action Ordinance Amendment
Location and Size All Business Park zoning districts
Overview
Currently accessory structures axe 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 structure, verses an attached structure, so they can
expand the size of our 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 financially 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 meet the design guidelines for the Business Park zoning
district.
3. The maximum size allowed for an accessory structure be limited to 1,200 square feet per
property.

"" Case Number: OA 07-07 ALLIANCE MACHINE
River
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. The purpose 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 j eopardize 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 if need 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 enclosure. We are 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 storage 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 will look uniform to its surroundings and, it will
promote a more safe and secure area in and around Northstar Business Park.
Thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Bryan Provo

Exhibit A
Sec. 30-1294. BP business park district.
(a) Purf~o.re.
(1) The business park district is established to encourage a planned, integrated environment for
certain industrial, office, and commercial uses, which are compatible with and complement each
other as well as the surrounding land uses. The underlying land use designation within the district
may vary and may be either light industrial or highway business. Development within the business
park district will correspond with the land use designation. Industrial and office uses are allowed
where the land use designation is light industrial, and commercial uses are allowed where the land use
designation is highway business.
(2) It is the intent of this section that development reflect common themes using compatible
architectural design and consistency in signage, landscaping, and lighting. It is also the intent to
encourage businesses, which generate a high number of jobs per square foot rather than
predominantly warehouse type uses.
(b) Permitted uses. Permitted uses in the BP district are as follows:
(1) Permitted uses allowed are as follows:
a. Light manufacturing.
b. Research and development laboratories.
c. Business and professional offices.

residentially zoned properties shall be of one of the acceptable materials and shall be combined with
at least 30 percent of one or more acceptable materials, or with 40 percent punched openings, with
or without glass (or as much as allowed by the Uniform Building Code, whichever is less), neither of
which are to be concentrated in any one location, unless to accentuate a design feature. Major
exterior surfaces that are visible from but not adjacent to any public street, public trail/path, or
adjacent residentially zoned properties shall be considered transition walls and may have less than the
30 percent combination or less than 40 percent punched openings, but either shall not be reduced to
zero percent). Reductions below 20 percent shall require staff approval. Such walls shall be screened
from view with additional landscaping. The requirement to have at least 30 percent of one or more
acceptable materials shallnot apply to the loading dock wall.
d. Major exterior surfaces that are adjacent to any public street, public trail/path, or adjacent
residentially zoned properties shall not exceed 160 feet zero inches in length without a minimum
four-foot depth change (recesses, protrusions, or a combination thereof), with at least two feet of
such change to be in the entire height of the facade.
e. Alternatively, exterior wall surfaces are to be designed with architectural interest through multiple
design techniques such as, but not limited to, architectural forms, reveals, textures, cornice detailing,
changes in surface planes, color, punched openings and/or changes in parapet elevations. The use of
design techniques alone or lower percentage of additional acceptable materials noted in subsection
(e)(4)c of this section shall require site plan review and approval by the city planning commission.
£ The building shall be designed so as to prevent the appearance of straight, unbroken lines in the
horizontal and vertical surfaces.
g. Main entrances shall be emphasized with a complementary material which is different from the
primary building material.
h. Garage doors shall have a color that matches or coordinates with the building's primary body
color.
i. The building shall be designed to screen equipment located on the roof of the building.
Alternatively, such equipment shall be located in such a manner so that it cannot be seen from the
adjacent public street, public path/trail, or adjacent residentially zoned property at the same elevation
of the first floor of the building.
