The Council has two options. If the City Council determines that the proposed outside storage is
acct to the existing truck repair use (by conditional use permit), staff and the Planning Commission
recommend the City Council approve the conditional use permit, subject to the following conditions:

Background/Discussion.
The property has been zoned I1 since at~least 1980. The I1 zone does not allow truck repair as a
permitted or conditional use, but does allow outside storage accessor~to a principal use. The I2 zoning
district specifically lists bus, truck and implement storage, maintenance and repair as a Conditional Use.
The property has been zoned I1 since 1982. Bus, truck and implement storage, maintenance and repairuses are
not allowed in the I1 zone. Nevertheless, the property has been issued conditional use permits (CUP's)
and amended CUP's for repair and outside storage as far back as 1991.

• June 21 1993 Amend CUP to add pole shed
• Aug 16 1993 Sell Truck Boxes (withdrawn)
• October 1997 Amendment to allow Second Principal Structure
Because these CUP's have been approved, and the business has complied with the terms of the CUP's,
the business is currently a legal nonconforming use. This means that the business can stay, but cannot be
expanded. If the proposed outside storage is merely accessory to the existing nonconforming use, it can
be approved by conditional use permit. If the outside storage is interpreted to be an expansion of the
existing use, it is not allowed and the CUP should be denied.

Overview
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for outside storage at an existing truck and
trailer service/repairs business. The applicant currently stores approximately 5 tractors and 8-10
trailers a day: They are proposing storing up to 25 tractors and 30 trailers one the site at any given
time.
Analysis
Exhibit A shows 28 tractor/trailers on the site in the area shown by the applicant's site plan. The 30
trailers the applicant is proposing might be too many as it would require the parking of trailers in
front of existing buildings or possibly in vehicle circulation areas. Staff would recommend that no
more than 20 tractor and/or trailers be allowed on site.
Comprehensive Plan
The Light Industrial category includes industrial uses that are lower in intensity of activity. These
uses limit the potential for adverse impacts on adjacent land uses due to factors such as noise and
odor. Examples of Light Industrial uses include offices, enclosed storage and warehousing, research
laboratories and light manufacturing.
It does not appear the proposed use is consistent with the comprehensive plan which spells out uses
that are lower in intensity of activity.
Transportation
Access to the site is currently on the west side of the property off of Jarvis Street. Gateway Road
right-of--way does transverse the entire south property. This road in the future could be the main
access to the site and surrounding area, especially with limited Hwy 10 access envisioned by the
Interregional Corridor (IRC) plan. This road will eventually be a frontage road along the highway
and act as a significant route into the city, specifically for the properties between the highway and
railroad tracks. The road will be a separation point separating the industrial properties on the north
side with the commercial properties on the south side.
Landscaping
Throughout the Conditional Use Permit history of this property, it appears the landscaping
conditions have been ignored by the past applicants. The 2006 aerial does not show many trees
around the site. The ordinance requires one tree per every 40 linear foot of property line. This is
the same calculation that was used on the CUP in 1991. The subject property has 1,750 of property
line which would yield 42 trees. This would result in 21 overstory, 11 coniferous and 10 decorative
trees. (See Exhibit B)
As was stated in the transportation section above, the road right-of--way along the southern property
line could potentially be the main access point to the subject property but more importantly it is the
buffer between industrial and commercial zoning. Having the required, or possibility even more,
coniferous trees planted in this area would provide a future benefit to the area providing a visual
barrier to the commercial property to the south. (See Exhibit C)
A fence currently exists around the property and the applicant is proposing adding privacy slats into
the fence. Since landscaping has more curb appeal than plastic slats, staff would recommend that
the south and west property line have the landscaping on the outside of the fencing. (See Exhibit C)
S:\PLANNING MAIN\Case Files\CUP\CU 09-07 Metropolitan Gravel\CU 09-07_PC.doc
Case File: CU 09-07

This again will provide better curb appeal to a road that will play a significant role for the region and
community in the future.
Applicable Regulations
Conditional Use Permit
The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can be ordered only if the use at the proposed location:
1. i.Y~ill not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of otherpropery in the immediate
vicinity or the public health, safety, moralr, comfort, convenience orgeneral welfare of the neighborhood or the
city.
2. mill be consistent rarith the comprehensive plan.
It does not appear the proposed use is consistent with the comprehensive plan which spells
out uses that are lower in intensity of activity.
3. mill not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacantpropery.
4. idVill be served adequately by and will not adversely a~ect essential public facilities and services including
streets, pola'ce and fireprotection, drainage, refuse disposal, water and server systems, parks and schools; and
mill not, in particular, create tc congestion or interference with tr~c on ad acent and neighboring public
thoroughfares.
S. Dill not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equ pment and conditions of operation that aa~ill be
detrimental to any persons orpropery because of excessive tr~c, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, dust or
vibrations.
The amount of truck/trailers proposed on the site might not meet the intent of the
comprehensive plan. Although all of the trucks will not be idling on site at one time, there
maybe excess smoke and fumes which might be incompatible with commercial zoning.
6. 1-Vill not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance.
7. 1~ill fully comply with all other requirements of this Code, including any applicable requirements and
standards for the issuance of a license orpermit to establish and operate the proposed use in the city.
If denial of such a permit should occur, it shall accompany recommendations or determinations by
findings or a report stating how the proposed use does not comply with the standards set forth in
Section 30-654.
In the review of the standards for CUP as outlined, it appears that the request is not consistent with
all of these standards.

Dear Planning and Zoning Administration:
Metropolitan Gravel Co., Inc.
37-21St Street
P.O. Box 289
Newport, MN 55055
651-458-0170
fax: 651-458-1168
Metropolitan Gravel Co., Inc. currently operating in the city limits of Elk River, MN
recognizes the need for change in order to compete in today's economy. We believe that
we have found a need for a service and repair facility in Elk River. The type of services
and repairs that we are requesting would be for the heavy truck and trailer industry.
Metropolitan Gravel Co., Inc. would like to be able to store/park more vehicles(tractors)
and trailers on our land. We are proposing that the City of Elk River allows Metropolitan
Gravel Co., Inc. to pursue these opportunities as we see that it would be of value to not
only Metropolitan Gravel Co., Inc. but to the city as well. We are asking that the city of
Elk River allow Metropolitan Gravel Co., Inc. to expand the parking capacity and allow
us to park up to 25 tractors and up to 30 trailers at any given time.
Metropolitan Gravel Co., Inc. hours of operation are from lam until 1 lpm Monday thru
Friday and lam to 6pm Saturdays and Sundays. We currently have 8 employees and
would find a need to hire more if the work permits. We currently store anywhere from 8
to 10 trailers and up to 5 tractors a day and currently have the capacity to store 25+
tractors and 30 trailers. There is already a facility for these repairs on the site and that
facility is what will be used for the services and repairs.
Signage- Metropolitan Gravel Co., Inc. at one time had a 6 x 10 foot sign on the east side
of the building. We will be replacing the sign that has since fallen off with a new one.
The type of sign that we are requesting is lettering along side the top of the building.
Outdoor storage- Metropolitan Gravel Co.,-Inc. currently has a pole shed on site and there
will not be a need for any more storage in the future.
In the past Metropolitan Gravel Co., Inc. was required to plant a required amount of trees
on the premises, and was completed. Some of those trees have since died, and we will
replant the required amount of trees in the spring. A fence is surrounding the entire lot
and privacy slats will be installed as well.
Regards,
West J. Houle

RE: Conditional Use Permit 93-10, 97-26
To Whom It May Concern:
The City of Elk River has been conducting inspections of past conditional use
permits for compliance with approvals. In June 1993, Metro Truck
Equipment was granted a conditional use permit to construct a 4,000 square
foot storage building. Then in 1997, a conditional use permit was granted to
construct a second building.
From the inspection, it appears that the conditions of approval have not been
complied with. Please reference the enclosed conditional use permit and site
plan.
Please contact me at 441-2953 at the City Planning Department to discuss
this issue.
Sincerely,
riiyl~:~

Re: City of Elk River Notice of Public Hearing
Subjec#: Conditional Use Permi# fo include TrucklTrailer Storage
Sir,
E.H, Renner & Sons, lnc. a fifth generation water well contractor is located directly across from
the Metro Gravel facility on Jarvis Street. We take pride on appearance of our facility. We agree that
the fact outside storage of Trucks and Trailers at Metro Crravel should be expected in an industrial park
that exists in this SE area of Elk River. Most of their neighbors have outside storage without a
Conditional Use Permit. Truck and Trailer Stored in an orderly fashion would make their lot the "Rose"
in the thorn bush in comparison to some of their neighbors. ~ (it was 1980 the chicken- farm located on that
same lot vacated) Picture attached.
