eL ITEM 6 <br /> •ty of Iv TO: PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> IE1I( Ri• HEN ROHLF, <br /> ver FROM: ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND ZONING <br /> DATE: JUNE 16 , 1993 <br /> SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST TO <br /> CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE A BUS <br /> TERMINAL BY JOHN WEICHT/PUBLIC <br /> HEARING, CASE NO. CU 93-13 <br /> The applicant, John Weicht, Post Office Box 368, Elk River, is <br /> proposing to construct a bus terminal that would be operated by <br /> Bill Dickenson. This item was tabled from the Planning <br /> Commission' s May 25, 1993, meeting for lack of detail . Staff ' s <br /> memo to the Planning Commission dated May 18, 1993, is attached. <br /> DRAINAGE <br /> Attached is a letter from Terry Maurer dated June 14, 1993, <br /> regarding his review of the proposed drainage plan, which is <br /> reflected on the revised site plan attached. Apparently, Pond <br /> A is in the north end of the site and Pond B is in the southern <br /> end. Mr. Maurer indicated the drainage plan should be rejected <br /> • because assumptions have been made that must be verified, <br /> including soil information. <br /> The drainage plan also assumes elevations, (not based on a <br /> benchmark) . This is not usually a problem as long as surveying <br /> is done so that the assumed elevations can be tied into <br /> existing situations, such as elevation of the County Road and <br /> the adjacent City trail . This has not been done on this <br /> drainage plan, but must be accomplished prior to the City <br /> giving final approval of this proposal . <br /> The Planning Commission will have to decide whether or not they <br /> table this issue until the drainage plan is revised or they <br /> will pass it on to the Council, contingent upon a revised <br /> drainage plan being reviewed and approved by staff, prior to <br /> the Council meeting. <br /> Staff does question whether or not the proposed ponds should be <br /> 8 and 6 foot deep because of the nearby school . The pond <br /> slopes definitely should not be more than 4 : 1 . <br /> PARKING AND DRIVES <br /> Staff has not received any further information on the number of <br /> employees or the maximum number of busses proposed to be kept <br /> • at this facility. This will affect the sizing of the parking <br /> lot and the bus parking area. <br /> P.O. Box 490 • 13065 Orono Parkway • Elk River, MN 55330 • (612) 441-7420 • Fax: (612) 441-7425 <br />
