Memo to Planning Commission/CU99-2pc February 23, 1999 Page 2 • The applicant is wants to amend the conditional use permit to allow a temporary building to be used for the processing and storage of special soils and vehicle storage. The building is being considered as a temporary building, as it lies within the reclamation area and in close proximity to a possible county road connection between Brook Road and County Road No. 33. Building Location The location of the building was chosen because it is in a low area, out of the wind and generally screened from adjacent properties by existing vegetation. Two residences to the north will have an unobstructed view of the building. The Ronallo residence is roughly 700 feet to the and the Lemmon residence is roughly 1000 feet to the north. Due to the temporary nature of the building and the distance from neighboring residences, staff is not recommending any screening of the building from the north. County Engineer Comments • The County Engineer, Dave Schwarting was asked to comment on the location of the proposed because of the proximity to a possible County Road connection between Brook Road and County Road No. 33. The County Engineer expressed no concern regarding the proposed location because the building is temporary and the road being a only a long term possibility. Building Department The Building Department has concerns with the building proposal in regards to ventilation, irrigation, restrooms and septic, and access to the building. Approval will be contingent on the building meeting the Uniform Building Code and the concerns of the Building Department (See attached letter from Cliff Skogstad). Architectural Standards The Elk River City Ordinance requires 25% of the exterior building be finished with approved or comparable exterior building finishes. The proposed pole building would be an exception to the rule due to its temporary nature and proposed location. • f:\shrdoc\p I anning\stevewen\pcmmo\cu99-2pc.doc
