HOU17001 April 24, 2017 Project Narrative 2 INTRODUCTION On behalf of Metro Gravel, Landform is pleased to submit this application for site plan and an amendment to a conditional use permit to allow for a building addition, accessory outside storage and site improvements at their existing business at 15683 Jarvis Street NW (PID 75-501-0115) in Elk River. We are excited about the improvements proposed for this site. SITE PLAN The subject site is guided Industrial and Zoned I-3 Industrial. The site currently has two buildings on one parcel. It is paved on the northwest half of the site and has Class 5 on the southeast side of the site. Metro Gravel is adding 4,528 sq. ft. on to the existing warehouse building located on the northwest side of the site “the northwest building” and a 300-square foot addition on to the existing warehouse on the southeast side of the site “the southeast building”. They will be paving the areas that are currently in gravel. Metro Gravel is proposing these improvements in order to lease the southeast building to their long-time partner—and second largest supplier of parts for their equipment, and to meet the increased demand for business to business sale of truck parts and truck storage and maintenance. The leased building will be used as a wholesale truck parts and accessories warehouse and distribution facility dealing in business to business sales, which is a permitted use in the I-3 District. This will strategically position the business in a new market with potential to grow their business and provide more consistent service to the area. Along with the 300-sq. ft. addition to the southeast building, Metro Gravel will also be adding 4,528 sq. ft. to the northwest building. Improvements will include another bay on the northeast side of that building for washing and repairing trucks, and an expansion of parts room on the southwest side of the building. These improvements will require additional septic to be added to the site. The existing paved lot area will be striped for semi-trail storage and the existing class 5 gravel in the rear of the lot will be replaced with asphalt. The improvements to the site comply with the required setbacks, parking, landscaping, and outdoor storage requirements as shown on the site plan. Employees and Hours of Operation The facility operates 24 hours a day 365 days a year. The current number of people employed on site is six and it is anticipated that the new distribution company will initially require three new employees with the potential to grow to five employees.
