9.3. SR 10-02-1995• ~~f ~~) ITEM 9.3. ~ ~ .MEMORANDUM City of ~~ TO: Mayor and City Council lk • .River FROM: Stephen Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator DATE: September 13, 1995 ' J1~ 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. 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.

July 27, I995 Mr. Stephen Rohlf Zoning Administrator City of Elk River 1~Ob5 Orono Parkway P.O. Box 490 Elk River, lviinnesota 5530 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 Duality Constn:cac~ "hateriais • CITY OF ELK RIVER RESOLUTION NO. 95 - A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO CHANGE THE LAND USE FROM A/AGRICULTURAL TO MI/MEDIUM INDUSTRIAL CITY OF ELK RIVER CASE NO.
