BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION At its meeting on August 2, 2010, the Council approved an Interim Use Permit for Wapiti Park, subject to several conditions. Among the conditions was a requirement that the Interim Use Permit would expire on January 1, 2011, if the following items in bold were not completed. After receiving a counter proposal from the applicant's attorney on December 20, 2010, the City Council extended the Interim Use Permit to January 18, 2011, and directed staff to develop a resolution for Council consideration to deny the Interim Use Permit, and Findings of Fact to support the same. The following background information was included on the staff action requested memo to Council dated August 2, 2010: Wapiti Park Campground predates the merger of the City and the Township in 1978. Upon adoption of the new City of Elk River Zoning Ordinance in 1980, Wapiti Park Campground became an illegal use. In 1983, the Campground property was rezoned from A-1 /Agricultural to R-1b/ Single Family Residential and the zoning ordinance was amended to allow campgrounds in the R-1b district as a conditional use. In 1984, after much discussion, a conditional use permit was issued for Wapiti Park Campground, subject to 9 conditions: 1. That a private road agreement be entered into between Mr. White and and the City of Elk River for access for the property; 2. That the number of campsites within the property be established at 109, with 20 tent sites and that no additional campsites be permitted; 3. That the hours of the campground operation be from 8 am to 11 pm; 4. That only minor maintenance and repair of recreational vehicles which is restricted to customers or campers on the site be permitted at the Wapiti facility; 5. That the store and restaurant on the existing site be used primarily for individuals utilizing the campground facility and that the store and restaurant not be expanded; 6. That the permit be reviewed every two years; 7. That the horses housed at the site be kept in such a manner that they do not provide a nuisance to any neighboring property as defined in the City's nuisance ordinance; N:\Public Bodies\Ciry Council\Coundl RCA\Agenda Packet\O1-18-2011\Wapit{.docx
