Planning Commission November 22, 2022 Page 3 "This is a recommendation from Cheryl Becker, 11452 197th Ave Elk River, Mn 55330. I hope you receive this before the meeting of the planning commission on November 22. This subject is 4.3 on the agenda. My property line is shared by them with a buffer between them. I would like to make a suggestion, to put up evergreen trees along their back line, and maybe to the north property line. Nine months of the year we can see that lot from my home. If there's going to be a big three-story building there I would like to see some bigger pine trees as an addition. Thank you, Cheryl Becker" There being no one else to speak, Vice Chair Beise closed the public hearing. Commissioner Johnson asked if the site tree survey was completed yet to see if the current vegetation would support meeting site requirements. He felt any other type of business would have to clear the vegetation and keeping the mature vegetation would provide a useful buffer. He is generally in favor of this project and felt it was a good use of the property. Mr. Leeseberg stated they have not received a site tree survey but felt given the number of trees they would meet the requirements. Commissioner Mauren asked about the glass store fronts on the building and asked if this would be used for signage. Mr. Kostreba stated it is a design feature showing a replica of what the inside of the storage building looks like. Mr. Leeseberg stated the building will be allowed a certain amount of signage and does allow window signage on up to 50% of windows. Mr. Kostreba stated there will probably be window signage from time to time but would stay within the boundaries of the ordinance. Commissioner Mauren asked about security lighting around the building. Mr. Kostreba stated there would be minimal lighting around the building, none on the north side of the building, and emergency exits along points of the building with lights just above are required. There is no roadway proposed behind the building. Moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Booth to recommend approval of the request by Kostreba Holdings and Rochon Corporation for a Conditional Use Permit for Establishing a Planned Unit Development to allow a storage facility at 19645 Evans St NW with the following conditions to satisfy the standards set forth in Section 30-654: 1. The land use amendment (LU 22-04) shall be approved. 2. Access to the building shall not be allowed between 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. 1 3. All comments in the comment letter dated November 15, 2022, shall be addressed. I I E I f I I I MATURE
