A PUD agreement shall be developed and signed by both parties prior to issuance of a <br />building permit. <br />Background/Discussion <br />Case Nos. ZC 15-10 & CU 15-20 <br />Elk River Machine Company (ERMC) has operated in Elk River since 1961 and has grown into a <br />prominent, full-service contract manufacturing facility. As they grew, they acquired land and have <br />identified zoning and land use concerns. With the current applications, they look to expand operations at <br />their existing location, bring their property into zoning compliance, and establish a PUD to support <br />future growth. <br />The business operates on five separate parcels which are regulated by three different zoning districts <br />making expansion approvals difficult as some of the uses cross property lines or are located in two <br />different zoning districts. The requested actions will clean up the zoning concerns and allow expansion <br />on one parcel with reduced concern for setbacks, structure limits, or building area maximums. They are <br />also pursuing administrative procedures to combine the parcels. <br />paWIREO 0 <br />A URS <br />
