Special Use Permit – Pioneer Paper Stock of MN Planning Commission Report; 7-18-23 Page 15 (cont) As a condition of SUP approval, staff would recommend that Pioneer Paper be required to keep all materials inside the building at 600 Lakeview Point Drive, and that no outside storage occur other than the authorized parking of vehicles per the site plan. Additionally, as noted earlier in the site plan review, staff is also recommending the applicant be required to correct any lighting problems that are identified in the parking lots following installation of the proposed new LED fixtures. Finally, on-street parking of business-related semi trucks and semi-trailers has become a major issue in different parts of the community. As a condition of this approval, staff would recommend that no on-street parking of semi tractors and/or trailers associated with 600 Lakeview Point Drive is allowed within a public right- of-way within the City of New Brighton. 3. That the establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. Applicant Comments: Correct. The neighborhood is already built out; with exception of a small industrial property to the north which currently lacks viable public access. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff finds this criterion to be met with conditions. As noted in the site plan review, improvement of the drainage area to the north of this property will require continued City access through the existing service gate in the chain link fence. As a condition of approval, staff is recommending the City require the property owner and City come to a yet-to-be-determined agreement that the gate will be maintained, and the City will be provided access through the gate as circumstances dictate (i.e to respond to a public emergency like a fire, to make drainage improvements for the benefit of all properties, to maintain/cut vegetation, etc). 4. That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and/or necessary facilities have been or are being provided. Applicant Comments: Correct. The existing roads and utilities in place are adequate for the continued use of the facility. We are not proposing to increase the impervious surface area on site, so drainage upgrades are not required. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff finds this criterion to be met with conditions. Following all engineering conditions in the Engineering memo dated xx/xx/2023 will ensure no issues with utilities or drainage. 5. That the special use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. Applicant Comments: Correct. We are unaware of any existing nonconformities. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff did not identify any zoning standards not being met by this proposed new use.
