From: <br />To: Lee m. Chris <br />Cc: <br />Subject: Fvv :Car Companies Requesting (IUP) Interim Use Permit for a Residential Occupation Which includes Outdoor <br />Storage <br />Date: Monday, January 15, 2024 3:07:58 PM <br />3 <br />> To Elk River Planning Connnission; <br />We are sending this email out of concern for The Request for an (IUP) Interim Use Permit for a Residential <br />Occupation which includes Outdoor Storage for Clark Company. <br />> Josh Clark <br />> 21144 Twin Lakes Road NW. <br />> Elk River, MN. 55330 <br />> Case No. IU 23-01 <br />a <br />> First, it was brought to our attention this past fall 2023 that when he applied for a Conditional Use Permit in <br />fall of 2022. Neighbor's that were notified were only neighbor's within 500ft. It also showed that neighbor across <br />street and off County Rd. 33 were notified. Neighbor's that have full view of his property and back property <br />weren't notified. No one off of 213th Ave. NW were notified. No one contested this because neighbor's said they <br />never received anything in the mail about Josh Clark applying for a "Conditional Use Permit". Which also has to be <br />Owner Occupied. Mr. Josh Clark doesn't live at this property. He is only using this property for his business. Which <br />he told the committee he lived there. So he started with a lie. He should have never received the Conditional Use <br />Pen°rnit.Even neighbor's that are listed to be notified. Have said they never received anything for Conditional use <br />Permit or anything on this upcoming ") request. People needs notices and at these 34 weeks about an upcoming <br />Public meeting. <br />> His Conditional Use Permit says he has to operate between 7:00am and 6.00p m. Monday -Friday. Which he <br />has been working outside these hrs.They have been working on Sat. & Sundays, Early morning and late evening, <br />loud noises and bright lights. This summer he was dumping his construction material and trees etc. on his back <br />property. His "Conditional Use Permit" was supposed to be for storing equipment in the area that was assigned and <br />no where else. He has also built a shed/ lean too off of one of the Pole barns on his property which already had as <br />many accessory buildings as allowed. He didn't always have equipment inside this area. He didn't start following <br />these rules until several neighbor's had complained about noise to the city. Then several its neighbor's complained <br />about him dumpling material in his back acreage this fall. Which were we got involved. <br />> We were inquiring what his permit allowed. Did he have a business permit? Was he allowed to be dumping his <br />construction material in his back acreage.We found out he was granted a Conditional Use Permit Sept. 2022. We <br />wondered why we hadn't been notified. The city looked into his dumping and he was told he had to clean up the <br />material in the back and comply to his Conditional Use Permit. This is when he started to comply some what to <br />hours and built all of his dirt berms. <br />> Our concerns for the Request for (IUP) Interim Use Permit for a Residential Occupation which includes Outdoor <br />Storage. We are very worried about them expanding there outdoor storage area. The Landscaping, construction <br />equipment, tractor°s, dump trucks and loud diesel noise. They nun very loud equipmeut.Even with his dirt berms we <br />can still see his equipment. We are worried he's going to dump his construction material inside this area. What was <br />he dumping. Also, when he is dumping what is going into our ground and into our ground water for our Wells and <br />drinking water. This is a Residential Area. <br />a <br />
