Case File: CU 09-10 Page 2 Kazl Beckius Yard Waste Site Location Existing Use Land Use Plan Designation Current Zoning Subject Mineral Mining R-1a/ME Property Extraction North Mineral Mining A-1/ ME Extraction South Mineral Mining R-1a/ME Extraction East Mineral Mining R-1a/ME Extraction West Mineral Mining R-1a/ME Extraction Overview Karl Bekius is seeking an Interim Use Permit, giving him the ability to operate a Yard Waste Site on property currently owned by Midwest Asphalt. The proposed use is consistent with the proposed Ordinance amendment. The use would be limited to the northeastern portion of the mining site. Based on aerial photographs, the nearest residential unit is 750 feet from the proposed area dedicated to composting operations. It is appropriate to limit operations to the northeast corner of the site, maintaining maximum distance from neighbors. Access to the site will be limited from the north, off of 2215` Avenue, using the existing access drive. Traffic will be directed to follow 221St Avenue to Highway 169. The Interim Use Permit is limited to 10 years (as proposed by Ordinance). At the end of 10 years, the business will need to either relocate, or receive an extension approved by the Council. The time limit recognizes that the area is a transitional use, and once mining operations cease, the area will be a large redevelopment site. The IUP protects the city against having a composting business in the middle of prime commercial and industrial property. Applicable Regulations Interim Use Permit The issuance of an Interim Use Permit can be ordered only if the use at the proposed location: 7. LVill not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience orgeneral welfare of the neighborhood or the city.
