I:\Commissions - NEW FOLDER\Planning Commission\2015\Working Docs\2015.04.21\MPI (Belair Excavating)\LP2014-005, SP2014-005, ZA2014-002 (MPI) - RESOLUTION.doc 3 b. This additional outdoor storage use, when combined with the existing outdoor storage needs, results in a land use intensity too great for the environmentally sensitive area or Rush Lake and Long Lake Regional Park. 10. The Planning Commission recommends denial of the request to calculate pile storage allotment based upon total site area, based upon the following findings: a. A pile storage increase of 83% isn’t consistent with the intent under the original ECOA to limit pile storage intensity due to 40’ pile height allowances, pile visibility from surrounding property, and general unsightliness. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that based upon the above Findings of Fact the application for a Zoning Code Amendment (ZA2014-001), Site Plan (LP2014-005), and Special Use Permit (SP2014-005) are hereby recommended for approval, subject to the following conditions: 1. The expansion shall be consistent with the submitted Site Plan, except that the 100’ x 100’ salt storage shed is removed. 2. An annual inspection on or within 30 days of July 15th shall be required to ensure compliance with the Environmental Constraint Overlay Area conditions. 3. Allowed pile storage shall be based upon 30% of the area noted for pile storage on the Pile & Equipment Storage Map (attached to this memo). This equates to 30% of an 11 acre pile storage area, or 8 acres of pile storage allowance. 4. Rail cars shall not be stored on the 1000’ rail siding for more than 110 days per calendar year and materials stored within the cars shall be limited to black dirt, bituminous, concrete, and other processed aggregates associated within the aggregate crushing/recycling and associated materials storage and excavation (Belair Excavating) uses at 2200 Old Highway 8 NW. The applicant shall keep a log of days, including loading and unloading times, which shall be made available for review during the annual inspection. 5. The Ordinance does not include the [bracketed-shaded] language proposed by the applicant. 6. The approximate 130’ x 656’ segment of expansion property within the ECOA extending west from Old Highway 8 NW to the applicant’s proposed 8’ vegetated berm (at the east end of the “Belair Construction Equipment & Supply Storage” area) shall be preserved in its current condition to provide an adequate buffer between Old Highway 8 NW and the pile and equipment storage areas. 7. The berm located at the east boundary of the “Belair Construction Equipment & Supply Storage” area depicted on the Site Plan shall be at least 8’ in height and be vegetated (not constructed of rubble). 8. The applicant enters into an Encroachment Agreement concerning the storm sewer that runs across a portion of their property.
