17-3910 AGENDAITEM May 8, 2017 Page 3 (4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system. The needs for water supply and sewage disposal for the proposed temporary use are not established, but would have to be providedfor by the operators of the site, as municipal sewer and water are not currently available. (5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost. No excessivepublic services orpublic costs are anticipated based on theproposed temporary use. Any costs of monitoring the site for compliance would be charged back to the applicant (6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is planned to be used in the future. Theproposed temporary use at this site ifoperated under controlled conditions has potential to be compatible with the surrounding area. The site is open and relatively flat, it has good accessibility to Wayzata Boulevard, it is large enough for the intended activities; and it is relatively remote from nearby residential development (700'to home to the NE across Wayzata Blvd., 1000'+ftom any homes to the SWacross thefteeway, so that thepotential negative impacts such as noise, vibration, glare, dust, etc. should be minimal as compared to most other locations within the Wayzata Boulevard corridor. The proposed location of the temporary use does not conflict with thefuture single-family residential use of theproperty. (7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan. The proposed temporary use is bordered on the south, west and north by arterial roadways. The property to the east contains an apple orchardfarming operation, separatedfrom applicant's temporary use by a large wetland, While the temporary use is not consistent with the character ofthe surrounding area, its temporary nature is not anticipated to have any long-term effects on the character of the area once the temporary use ceases. (8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan. The temporary use will not have permanent structures. The potential permanent change which might impact the character of the neighborhood would be construction of a berm along the southwesterly portion of the site, which would act as a visual barrier to views into the site from US Hwy 12, while providing a sound barrier as a benefit for future residential development of the site. (9) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses. Neighboringproperty owners have expressed concerns regarding thepotentialfor air, water and noisepollution associated with the construction staging and materials storage and recycling temporary uses. THE CO UNCIL SHO ULD RE VIE W THESE CONCERNS (10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses. The location of the proposed temporary use is such thatfew if any neighboring homes will be subject to undesirable views or views of the activity associated with the use. Therefore, no screening or buffering will be required. Prepared By: Mike Gaffron Reviewed By: Approved By: D5JZ
