giver 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River. MN 55330 July 8, 2010 Lorraine White 18746 Troy Street NW Elk River, MN 55330 Re: Interim Use Permit, Staff Comments Dear Ms. White, Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to review your application. I note that you are requesting an Interim Use to allow the existing structure to continue, although the original Interim Use Permit expired last April. City Staff has completed its review of your proposal as part of a site plan review completed on July 7, 2010. From this review, a number of comments or questions were raised, and follow. Your application is scheduled fox formal review by the Planning Commission on July 13, 2010. If the Planning Commission makes a recommendation, the Council will review the application on July 19n'. Because of the tight timetable as requested, the following comments will be recommended as conditions. There is a possibility that the Council or Planning Commission will table your request until further information is provided. It appears that the campground is operating year round, which is inconsistent with a recreation campground. Additionally, there has been a history of higher than expected calls to one location, and some of the calls have caused real concern, including reports of raw sewage leaks, assaults, and the welfare of residents, in particular children, living at the campground through the winter. 1. Please verify that the on site septic system is designed and functional for year round use. As noted above, there have been reports of the system not functioning in the winter, with collection lines freezing. This verification must be in the form of a report provided by a licensed on-site septic system installer. 2. Please provide a manure management plan with regard to the animals on site, including the horses. I note that there are several guinea fowls run at large, which may be inconsistent with the State rules. Phone: 763.635.1000 Fax: 763.635.1090 www ci.elk-river, mn.us
