Staff does not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 4. Will be served adequately by and will not adversely affect essential public facilities and services including streets, police and fire protection, drainage, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, parks and schools; and will not, in particular, create traffic congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and neighboring public thoroughfares. The use will be served adequately by and will not adversely affect essential public facilities and services including streets, police and fire protection, drainage, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, parks and schools; and will not, in particular, create traffic congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and neighboring public thoroughfares. While the use will not adversely affect essential public facilities, staff does recommend all septic systems provide a certificate of compliance or notice of noncompliance, for the existing septic system, and must be signed by a licensed inspection business or by a qualified employee certified as an inspector who is authorized by the local unit of government. The certificate of compliance or notice of noncompliance must be submitted to the local unit of government no later than 15 days after any compliance inspection. This property has a wetland basin on the northeast and east portion of the property and extending to cover much of the north portion of the property. The existing buildings do not meet the wetland setback requirements. Any future proposed hardcover would need to meet the 45-foot wetland setback and total hardcover for the site should not exceed 25% due to the location in the shoreland district. Given the nature of this business, there are concerns about protecting the wetlands on site. The applicant should make improvements to the site to ensure materials from the business do not negatively impact the wetland, including eliminating any potential runoff. It is recommended the applicant follow Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) guidelines for chemical waste and secondary runoff controls. 5. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons or property because of excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, dust or vibrations. Traffic, noise, fumes/odors, parking, and hazardous materials can be detrimental if not accounted for. To help mitigate noise concerns, staff is recommending there be no repair or maintenance of vehicles outside of the building and all openings to the accessory structure be closed when the business is in operation. The ordinance requires parking for auto repair to be one parking space for each 300 square feet of floor area (2,560/300 = 9 stalls) and all parking area shall be set back 10-feet from property lines. Section 30-900 states all off-street parking areas and access drives shall be paved with asphalt, concrete, pavers, or Class V compacted to maintain a dust free surface. Section 30-901 states all driving areas and parking areas shall be bounded by B612 concrete curb and gutter. 6. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. While staff is recommending site work, no additional buildings are being proposed. With the proposed conditions, the use should not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance.
