CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 11. The submitted site plan indicates a proposed visual and noise -screening berm along the west and south boundaries of the site. Applicant is working with the MPCA to establish parameters and obtain permits for this berm, which will become an amenity for future residential development. The City will require a grading plan be approved for this, and it will require a Conditional Use Permit based on the volume of permanent fill material. 12. The applicants' narrative suggests that this site might be used as a recycling yard for projects other than just the Wayzata Boulevard improvements. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application at its March 20th and April 17 1h meetings, and recommended that use of the site should be limited solely to activities related to the Wayzata Boulevard improvement project and should not be used to support other projects. The Orono City Council concurs. 13. Site physical and location factors which support the intended temporary use include that it is open and relatively flat; it has good accessibility to Wayzata Boulevard and will not result in traffic impacts to residential streets; 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'+ from any homes to the SW across the freeway), so that the potential negative impacts such as noise, vibration, glare, dust, etc. should be minimal as compared to most other locations within the Wayzata Boulevard corridor. 14. Review per Zoning Code Section 78-916. The Interim Use standards require that an IUP request be considered with respect to the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) standards of Zoning Code Section 78-916. Following is an analysis of the requested IUP in relation to those standards. Council's findings following each criterion are shown in bold italics. Conditional Use Permit Analysis Conditional use permit approval shall be granted only when the following criteria are met: (1) The proposed Interim Use is consistent with the Community Management Plan(CMP). The proposed temporary use is commerciallindustrial in nature and such use is consistent with the CMP guiding for this residential neighborhood subject to the Interim Use provisions of the Zoning Code and of the RR-lB Zoning District. (2) The proposed use is compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as required by Article V, Division 3 of the City Code. The proposed temporary use is compliant with the zoning standards established for this interim use. Article V Division 3 does not address the specific construction staging use proposed. Page 3 of 9
