A <br /> general legal description of the property is: part of the Southeast Quarter of <br /> Section 13, Township 32, Range 26, Sherburne County, Minnesota. Screened <br /> outdoor storage areas are a permitted use in the I-1 (Light Industrial) zoning <br /> • district. In conjunction with the site plan review, you were also required to <br /> receive approval for a private road agreement by the City of Elk River to <br /> legally access the site. The City Council approved the private road agreement <br /> on July 17, 1995. <br /> In review of your site plan application, a large berm is located on the <br /> southeast corner of the property to screen your construction equipment. As <br /> part of the application you will be required to plant 59 trees on the berm area <br /> to add a greater visual barrier to the property from Highway 10. On the plan <br /> you indicate that you will plant four foot pines and cedar trees along the <br /> berm in the general location as indicated on the attached plan. Please be <br /> informed that pine and cedar trees must be a minimum of six feet in height <br /> at the time of planting to meet Elk River City Code requirements. The City <br /> of Elk River also requires that the trees be planted within one year of <br /> approval of this application; therefore, an inspection will be conducted in <br /> August, 1996, to determine compliance with the approved site plan. <br /> Lastly, the City of Elk River is concerned that this property be kept neat and <br /> clean and free of excess junk and junk vehicles. Junkyards are a conditional <br /> use in the light industrial zoning district; therefore, if this property meets the <br /> definition of a junkyard, the site will either have to be modified to comply <br /> • with the definition of outdoor storage, or you will be required to receive a <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
