AGENDAITEM The IUP ordinance requires three specific pieces of information to be submitted as part of the application process, as follows: (a) Written documentation that includes a complete description of the use, schedule for commencement and tennination of the use, hours and dates of operation and anticipated employment. (b) Any special studies requested by the City when there is evidence that the proposed use may negatively impact public infrastructure, the environment or adjacent land uses. These studies may examine the impacts on such things as traffic, environment, wetlands and utilities. (c) Evidence of approval or preliminary approval from all other agencies with jurisdiction over elements of the use. As noted in the May 8th staff memo, Items (a) and (c) have been submitted relative to the use for future phases, but not specifically for Phase I of the Wayzata Boulevard improvements. With regard to item (b), the City has not requested any special studies to date. Council should discuss whether any such studies or further information should be requested with regard to use of the site for Phase I in 2017-2018 as well as future Phases. 5. Staff Recommendation. Acknowledging that Interim Use Permits are new ground for the City of Orono, staff recommends acting cautiously on this request. it can be argued that the proposed operation is simply the same activity that the City engages in every time we rebuild a City road, but on a larger scale. At the same time, there has been some level of public opposition to this request from adjacent and nearby landowners. Council should review the information provided to date, and discuss with the applicants items of note as well as any additional concerns. The Council should consider adopting or amending the draft resolution attached. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Review the proposed interim use as presented. - If Council determines that an IUP for this site should be granted, review the draft resolution, make any appropriate revisions, and adopt the resolution. - If Council determines that more information is required, table and provide staff and applicant with specific direction. - If Council determines that an 1UP should not be issued for this site, then direct staff to draft a resolution for denial.
