milfoil harvesters. <br />The large parking area between the existing building and the south propertv* line has been used as <br />overflow parking for vehicles and boat trailers when the public landings are full. The overflow <br />parking would remain as a continued use. Overflow parking only occurs in the spring/summer/fall <br />mainly on weekends not to interfere with the winter road maintenance facility operation. <br />Use of Salt/Sand Storage Building <br />The proposed building would be approximately 7,200 square feet, reduced from the storage available <br />for ^.e previous proposal due to the reduction in overall size. Couniv* staff has indicated the <br />operations would reduce noise to surrounding neighborhoods and eliminate the salt and sand <br />transported by stormwater runoff to the adjacent wetlands. The wetlands drain into a stormsewer <br />pipe and are routed to Lake Minnetonka. Due to the proposed buildings capacity, Hennepin County <br />has estimated approximately 60 round trip truck runs annually would be eliminated and the salt/sand <br />operations would occur during daytime hours. <br />Zoning Code Amendment: <br />The Hennepin County facility has been in operation since the early 1960s. A 1970s rezoning <br />changed the zoning from commercial to residential, although the use has not changed over that time. <br />The \:si has remained as a non-conforming use in the LR-IC zoning dis diet. Hennepin County has <br />made -.n application to the City of Orono to request a code amendment that would allow a county <br />main* .nance facility to exist in the LR-IC zoning district as a conditional use. The LR-IC district <br />permits any conditional use that is permitted in the R-1A zoning district (please refer to conditional <br />uses for R-1 A in Exhibit D). Staff has suggested the following amendment to Section 10.25, <br />Subdivision 4. <br />Subd. 4. Conditional Uses. Within any "LR-IC" One Family Lakeshore Residential <br />District, no structure or land shall be used for the following uses except by conditional use permit: <br />A. Any conditional use as regulated in the "R-1 A" District except that <br />Planned Residential Development shall not be limited to detached single family dwellings only. <br />conditions: <br />B. County Highway Maintenance Facilities, subject to the following <br />a. Property shall consist of one tax parcel of minimum lot size of five <br />b. Property shall have direct access to a Coun^ road. <br />c. County facilities shall only be permitted a: Hennepin Countv facilities. <br />H2555 Hennepin County <br />3830 Shorttin€ Drhm <br />Zoning Codi Amindment^onditional Usi PirmUTarianca <br />4^37 00 <br />Pagt 5
