SUBJECT: Zone Change and Land Use
Change Request (A-1 to I-2) by
the Shiely Company Case No.
ZC 95-7 & LUA 95-7
Introduction
The Shiely Company is requesting a land use change from A/Agricultural to
MI/Medium Industrial and a zone change from A-1/Agricultural to
I-2/Medium Industrial on property legally described on attached exhibit "A".
A vicinity map of the property affected by these changes is also attached.
The parcel described is owned by Julius Neimeth who has co-signed the zone
change application. There is approximately 10 acres in the southeast corner
of the parcel described that is currently leased by Elk River Bituminous and
is being run as a gravel mine. Mr. Neimeth and the Shiely Company are
requesting that this area be included in the zone change request.
The Shiely Company is requesting the changes to the land use and zoning on
this parcel to accommodate a concrete ready mix plant. Shiely explains their
request in the attached letter dated 7/27/95. The Elk River Code of
Ordinances allows concrete product processing as a permitted use in the I-2
zone.
Shiely Company has an existing conditional use permit for a gravel mine on
this parcel that will also need to be amended to accommodate the proposed
ready mix plant. The amendment to their existing conditional use permit is
on this same agenda.
Interpretation
Section 900.12 (19), found starting on page 9.46 of the City Code of
Ordinances, defines the mineral excavation overlay zoning district. Under
the aforementioned section, .subpart (B)(i) allows facilities related to mineral
excavation in the mineral excavation overlay district. For example, this is
the clause that allowed Barton Sand and Gravel to place a temporary asphalt
hot mix plant in their gravel pit.

SUBJECT: Rezoning - Shieiy/Nemeth Property -Section 10
Dear Mr. Rohlf:
Shfefy Company
2915 Waters Rtr., Sutte 1 CS
Eacar,. MN ~St2t
(E ~ 2) 6fis•0600
Fax (612) 6E3-8105
Please consider this request for rezoning of a portion of the Julius Nemeth progeny in Section I0,
Elk River. We propose to rezone approximately 4~ acres. Refer to the enclosed map for a
pictorial description of the proposed rezoning. The proposed rezoning will be an extension of the
existing I2 zone to the south. The requested rezoning is for the purpose of allowing the operation
of a ready-mix concrete plant in close proximity to the. existing sand and gravel wash plant. This
rezoning may be necessary if the "related facilities" which are allowed by Conditional Use Permit
in the ME zone do not include concrete ready-mix.
The rezoning of this property is appropriate, particularly during the term of operation of the
existing sand and gravel plant. Concrete ready-mix. i a related use to sand and gravel minim and
is very dependent upon a supply of quality aggregates.
In general terms the co-location of supplier and product user makes very good economic, logistic
and land use planning sense. Economically the cost of the final product is kept down by V
minimizing handling of component materials.. Losistically co-location takes advantage of in_place
infrastructure. For example: this proposed ready-mix plant will be able to use the existing
operational yard area; existn>? water supply; convenient supply of raw materials; the established
truck routes and trafr'tc management components, both internal. and external to this property.
From a land use planning perspective, the proposal is a good fit. It is very compatible with the
existing use of the propem. It takes advantage of existing infrastructure and does not require
extension of more services. The proposed ready-mix plant will not increase the incompatibility of
this property with the residential neishbors. Operational hours are similar to the gravel minim.
The noise from this plant and trucks will not be discernable over the ~ravei wash plant and the
adjacent highway. The plartt itself will have the necessary dust control. Road dust will be
controlled by watering. The ready-mix plant will be located behind a ?0 foot high berm and trees
