Page 2 of 4 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of New Brighton hereby approves the requested special use permit based on the following findings of fact: 1. The subject property is guided for light industrial uses, and the existing uses have been approved and amended since 2010. 2. Under the currently approved SUP and Site Plan, the use has not generated any official complaints regarding noise, dust, or odors. 3. The applicants are currently seeking approval of a preliminary and final plat to clean up the legal descriptions of all land in an effort to position one or more lots for sale. 4. All lots are currently served by an inadequate 30-foot wide roadway easement across the northern property line. 5. As a condition of approval for the proposed preliminary and final plat, the applicants were required to show access to the proposed Lot 2 could be independently obtained through means other than the inadequate 30-foot wide roadway easement. 6. The plans provided by the applicant in this application have been acknowledged by all interested parties (Ramsey County, MnDOT, the railroad, RCWD, etc) as being a realistic alternative to roadway access in the future for Lot 2. 7. Previous conditions of approval for the SUP and Site Plan must be amended to allow for this potential future roadway access. 8. No road will be designed or constructed until such time as the landowners decide to move forward with development of Lot 2 9. A variance to lot frontage for Lot 1 is justified as the plans clearly demonstrate that adequate options exist to provide roadway access to all proposed properties. 10. The special use will continue to conform with all provisions of the Environmental Constraint Overlay Area by following all existing and amended conditions of approval. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that approval of the special use permit amendment shall be subject to the following conditions: 1. All previous conditions of approval applicable to this site, unless specifically changed by this SUP amendment, shall remain in effect as part of this amendment. 2. All previous conditions requiring the chimney portion of the property (Outlot A) be kept in a natural state are hereby repealed, and the area may be utilized for ingress/egress purposes. 3. Future construction/design of a road through Outlot A shall strive to preserve existing vegetation on both sides of the railroad tracks in as much as possible. 4. The applicant shall dedicate an easement over the storm water pipe and lake outlet extending northward from Rush Lake as directed by the City Engineer.
