Planning Commission Page 4 April 26, 2022 ----------------------------- Chair Larson-Vito stated she wanted clarification because any future owner of these properties would have the ability to have concerts. She stated the Planning Commission must have felt the need to keep the hours at 11:00 p.m. previously with the current CUP. Commissioner Beise stated he was more inclined to expand the number of special events instead of changing the hours of operation for every weekend. Mr. Leeseberg stated the condition of five events is tied to recreational camping. Mr. Carlton stated since he oversees code enforcement calls, he stated generally those complaint calls are more closely aligned with Condition 3 with vehicles getting too close to the property line, not due to noise complaints late into the evening. Commissioner Booth stated based upon that information, he is still ok with extending the hours of operation. Chair Larson-Vito asked about Condition 3 and the term “regardless of when they’re erected” wondered if that placed an unnecessary burden on the property owner. She felt it may cause the applicant to change their business operations because someone else develops their property. Mr. Leeseberg stated the standard is also to ensure that neighboring property owners in the city have the same rights to develop their property. He explained it is a double- edged sword. Commissioner Mauren asked for clarification of what is a motorized vehicle and the trail that runs along the east property line. Commissioner Rydberg asked if someone builds a shed within the 1000’ range, how does that effect ERX? Mr. Leeseberg stated it does not state an accessory structure, so a shed would be all right. It is only when a residence, livestock and/or arena. He said this relates back to the standard of not detrimentally effecting the development of surrounding properties and that standard needs to be taken seriously because the surrounding properties are large lots that may be developable in the future. Commissioner Booth asked to remove Condition 6 restricting the access points, commenting that MnDOT is well ahead of what the city would oppose on the property. Mr. Leeseberg stated MnDOT is continuing to review this application and he has requested their comments in time for the City Council meeting. Commissioner Mauren asked if there were any information regarding accidents on the highway.
