JAKE BARKLEY,430 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD,DETERMINATION OF USE <br /> Barnhart stated in every zoning district different uses are listed as permitted conditional use permits. <br /> Construction of a new building within a zoning district typically requires a site plan review as well as <br /> approval by the City Council. Conditional use permit applications also require a public hearing. <br /> Conditional uses are uses that are allowed but certain conditions should be placed regarding that <br /> particular use to prevent unwanted elements or uses from occurring. <br /> The industrial zoning district allows for manufacturing of a broad range of products. Manufacturing is <br /> permitted provided there is no exterior noise,glare,fumes,obnoxious products,by products or wastes,or <br /> creates other objectionable impact on the environment. Barnhart noted this includes vibration or dust, <br /> which is virtually impossible. <br /> Barnhart stated the purpose tonight of this item is for Council to review the proposed use and to make <br /> sure that Staff understands what the Council means by no noise,etc. Barnhart stated exterior noise is <br /> prevalent in the use of all property and that Staff understands the criteria to mean"no manufacturing <br /> activity outdoors that produce noise observable beyond the property." Onside handling of byproducts <br /> will be resolved as part of the site plan approval process. <br /> Jake Barkley is considering purchase of 430 Old Crystal Bay Road to construct an industrial building that <br /> would house his business that takes in large limestone blocks or slabs and cuts them using large saws. <br /> The finished stone is used in landscaping and building architecture. Onsite activities include the loading <br /> and unloading of the large stone blocks using end loaders and trucks. While the activity occurs primarily <br /> inside the building,occasionally the door will be open to accept new material and ship out the finished <br /> product. Barnhart noted there will be some limited noise for every industrial use. <br /> Barnhart illustrated the proposed site on the overhead. The property is located on Old Crystal Bay Road. <br /> Mr.Barkley is proposing to construct a new building on the site to house his business and there will be <br /> some exterior storage associated with the business. Orono Preserve,a new residential development,will <br /> be constructed across the street commencing this spring. <br /> Staff believes the proposed use is appropriate in the industrial zoning district. Site plan approval for a <br /> new building requires a public hearing and review by the Planning Commission and City Council. <br /> Barnhart indicated Staff did investigate a similar business in St. Cloud over the holiday break. Barnhart <br /> noted the various sound readings are outlined in his memo. <br /> Page 4 of 15 <br />
