Wver April 26, 2022 Heidi, Thank you for your email on April 22, 2022, regarding the Planning Commission memo and conditions. We have commented on each of your seven bullet points below. We will also share this with the Planning Commission, so they are aware of your concerns. • Hours of operation — Thank you for the notation on page 3 however the hours requested are not reflected on page 1 under bullet point number 2 That is correct, page 3 states: Staff recommends the current hours of operation continue as follows. We are recommending it stay the same but have noted you are requesting the change. I will make this clear during the meeting and the commission will make their recommendation. Bullet 4 — I have a message out to our guys to confirm this is standard... why is the city suggesting a 45' setback when it appears code states 25' foot? Sec. 30-1852. - Performance standards. (a)Wetland buffer strip. A minimum 25-foot buffer strip (b)Wedand buffer strip setback. A minimum 20-foot setback from wetland buffer strips The combined setbacks require a 45' setback for all improvements. • Bullet 6 — ohhhh man — sneaky, sneaky... I cannot commit to this. I don't think I should have to either if MNDOT is working with us at this time. This is a long term goal, but will take many, many, many years of planning to change the whole movement of ingress/egress throughout the property. This simply is not in the cards right now and move to strike this almost immediately. We continue to be transparent with our analysis and recommendations. Access through the project site; area has frequently been discussed whether via a frontage road or as identified in the Gravel NIining Area Land Use, "Transportation, and Utility Plan. We also discussed this during our meeting on February 17, 2022, specifically ongoing traffic concerns and how including the Lemmon property will provide access onto the property to alleviate ingress/egress traffic issues currently taking place on Highway 169. Staff makes recommendations to the Planning Commission, and then they make their recommendations to the City Council. The Council will consider the comments from the Planning Commission, staff, and outside agencies, along with your comments and concerns to {etertnitie what conditions will be required for approval. Please consider this condition as the start of a conversation 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 763.635.1000 P a i E R E 0 1 1 NATUR E1kRiverMN.gov
