Currently, the site contains an 8,022 square foot structure (6,780 sq ft. at the foundation) and was ap- proved for a conditional use permit for outdoor storage class I on January 14, 2007. The property is zoned C-3 (Business Park). Outdoor storage is permitted with a Conditional Use Permit in the C-3 district, subject to the following conditions: 1122.1403(2) Outdoor Storage, Class II: A. The receiving, keeping, or shipping of goods and materials outside of an enclosed building where such use occupies an area larger than 50% of the floor area of the principal structure. Outdoor storage includes only the unloading, loading, and keeping of materials; may include stor- age yards for contractors, equipment, lumber, landscaping materials, construction materials and shipping materials and containers. Storage of unlicensed or inoperable vehicles or other materials typically asso- ciated with a junkyard or salvage yard are excluded. B. Zoning District and Conditions: 1. Conditional use in C-3 with the following conditions: a. Outdoor storage areas shall be screened from view of all adja- cent property and public streets. Outdoor storage areas shall be screened by a 100% solid fence or wall of at least 6 feet in height. Privacy slats, wind screening or other fence inserts, com- monly used with chain link fencing, shall not be used to achieve this screening requirement. 2 b. All outdoor storage areas adjacent to a residential Zoning Dis- trict shall meet the required building setbacks for the Industrial Zoning District; in all other instances outdoor storage shall meet the required parking setback. c. Storage or parking of vehicles larger than one (1) ton capacity may be stored, provided that such vehicles are used in connec- tion with a business located in the principal structure on-site and are screened from view of adjacent residential property and pub- lic streets in accordance with the landscaping and screening re- quirements of the Zoning Code. Additionally, grading in excess of 400 cubic yards is a conditional use per section 1151.200. History The property is zoned C-3 (Business Park) and is guided Planned Industrial on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. A CUP was approved on January 14, 2007 for Outdoor Storage, Class I. This allows for outdoor storage but limits the area of storage to less than 50% of the primary build area. Current Circumstances Total Site Area: The total site is approximately 1.09 acres. Topography: The site is relatively flat. The site was graded previously as part of the Deerfield Industrial Park development and the initial building con- struction in addition to the existing conditional use permit. As part of this pro- ject, a request for a conditional use permit has been sought for grading is excess of 400 cubic yards; the applicant is proposing grading of 640 cubic yards. A wall is proposed at the northern area of the site to hold grade which is planned to be less than 4 feet tall. Access: Access to this property is from Graystone Court. Wetland: There are no wetlands present on the site. Adjacent Existing Uses, Land Use, and Zoning: Existing Use Land Use Designa- tion Zoning West Mesenbrink Storage Condos I-PI (Planned Indus- trial) C-3 (Business Park) East Cutting Edge (Light Manufacturing) I-PI (Planned Indus- trial) C-3 (Business Park) North City Maintenance Fa- cility I-PI (Planned Indus- trial) C-3 (Business Park) 3 South CIK Holdings I-PI (Planned Indus- trial) C-3 (Business Park) ANALYSIS: On-Site Engineering and Forensic Services, Inc. conducts investigative work that requires the applicant to maintain evidence for a specific time period be- fore disposing of the items. This fact, along with the need to keep trailers on the premises for maneuvering items in and out of the building, the applicant is asking for approval of a CUP to allow outdoor storage exceeding 50% of the principal structure. There is an outdoor storage area that is enclosed on three sides and there is a 6-foot-high board on board fence. A six-foot high board on board wooden fence is required on the west and southwest rear yard pe- rimeter of the property to provide screening as a required condition of the CUP. Setbacks: Parking setbacks along the property line will be maintained at 10’ and no buffer yard is required as the adjacent parcels are zoned C-3. The subject parcel is not in the shoreland overlay district and is not regulated by impervious surface requirements. Planned impervious surface will be under 75%. Parking: The outdoor storage area is being proposed in the rear yard of the building over a portion of a paved area that contains five existing parking spaces. In 2005, when the applicant received site plan approval they pro- posed 13 parking spaces. City Code only requires 10 spaces for the configu- ration of the current use. In addition to the initial 10 spaces, the Code requires one (1) parking space for each 20,000 square feet of land devoted to outdoor storage. If the CUP is granted, the parking requirements will be met with the existing 13 parking spaces. Storm Water: Storm water infiltration was previously addressed as part of the Deerfield Industrial Park. Signs: The applicant had wall signage approved in 2005. No additional sign- age is being requested as a part of this application. Landscaping: The originally approved landscape plan showed seven (7) blue spruce trees along the west and southwest corners of the site perimeter. In addition, the applicant planted five (5) additional blue spruce trees along the perimeter of the property, immediately adjacent to the proposed outdoor storage area. No additional planting is proposed or required. Lighting: The applicant is not proposing to add any additional lighting. 4 A site visit was conducted on May 3, 2024. ISSUES: This project includes a request for a conditional use permit for class II outdoor storage and grading in excess of 400 cubic yards. The current storage area is 15,899 square feet including parking lots and driveway. There is a 5,639 square foot gravel parking lot, which is to be paved as part of this project. This would bring the total storage area of the lot to 25,945 square feet or 54.67% of the lot. This additional space would exceed 50% of the primary building area, requiring the conditional use permit for class II outdoor storage. Conclusion Overall, staff believes the outdoor storage and the proposed grading in excess of 400 cubic yards is consistent with the intent of the C-3 Use District provided conditions of approval are met. Based upon the findings set forth in this report, staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permits. In order to meet the above-listed criteria, staff recommends the following conditions for the conditional use permit for Outdoor Storage, Class II: ➢ Outdoor storage areas shall be screened by a 100% solid fence or wall of at least 6 feet in height. Privacy slats, wind screening or other fence in- serts, commonly used with chain link fencing, shall not be used to achieve this screening requirement. ➢ All outdoor storage areas adjacent to a residential Zoning District shall meet the required building setbacks for the Industrial Zoning District; in all other instances outdoor storage shall meet the required parking setback. ➢ Storage or parking of vehicles larger than one (1) ton capacity may be stored, provided that such vehicles are used in connection with a business located in the principal structure on-site and are screened from view of adjacent residential property and public streets in accordance with the landscaping and screening requirements of the Zoning Code. ➢ A permit will be required for any wall exceeding four feet. Staff recommends the following conditions for the conditional use permit for grading in excess of 400 cubic yards: ➢ The filling and removal must be done according to plans approved by the City Engineering Department. ➢ The cleanup of fill material resulting from spills or general transportation of fill on any public road shall be the responsibility of the applicant. ➢ The Conditional Use Permit is subject to the issuance of required permits from all applicable governmental agencies. ➢ The CUP is valid for one year for land reclamation but is revocable at any time for noncompliance with any condition contained herein. At the expira- tion of its one (1) year term, the property owner may make an application to the City to renew the CUP. The initial approval of this CUP does not create any right, in law or equity, to the renewal thereof. 5 ALTERNATIVES: 1.

The property is legally described as: Lot 1 Block 1, Deerfield Industrial Park 3rd Addition (PID 254280010); and WHEREAS, Notice of the public hearing on said CUP was duly published in accordance with the applicable Prior Lake Ordinances; and WHEREAS, The Planning Commission proceeded to hear all persons interested in this CUP, and persons interested were afforded the opportunity to present their views and objections related to the CUP; and WHEREAS, The Planning Commission finds the proposed CUP is compatible with the stated purposes and intent of the Zoning Ordinance as they relate to conditionally permitted uses, and further, that the proposed CUP meets the criteria for approval of CUP as contained in Subsection 1151.200 of the Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA as follows: 1. The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein. 2. The Planning Commission hereby adopts the following findings: a) The use is consistent with and supportive of the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. One goal of within the 2040 Comprehensive Plan is to “maintain and promote safe, sound, and connected land use.” A purpose of the review of this Conditional Use Permit is to ensure that erosion control and adequate storm water analysis is completed to ensure no negative impacts to the overall area. It also provides for the notification of the project to the surrounding properties regarding the activity which is proposed. 2 b) The use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the community as a whole. Based on staff review, the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community. The conditions of the approving resolution are intended to ensure ongoing protection of the community. c) The use is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zoning Code and the Use District in which the Conditional Use is located. Section 1140.600 of the Zoning Code allows Grading, Filling and Land Reclamation of over 400 cubic yards as a Conditional Use within any zoning district. Outdoor Storage, Class II is a conditional use in the C-3 zoning district. The conditions set forth in the Zoning Code will be met with the issuance of the Conditional Use Permit. d) The use will not have undue adverse impacts on governmental facilities, services, or improvements which are either existing or proposed. The use will not have adverse impacts on governmental facilities. e) The use will not have undue adverse impacts on the use and enjoyment of properties in close proximity to the conditional use. The use will not have undue adverse impacts on the use and enjoyment of properties in close proximity as long as all conditions of approval are adhered to, including but not limited to erosion control requirements and cleanup of any streets in the project area. f) The use is subject to the design and other requirements of site and landscape plans prepared by or under the direction of a professional landscape architect, or civil engineer registered in the State of Minnesota. The grading is related to the construction of a storage area and parking lot. A Site plan is on file with the city. g) The use is subject to drainage and utility plans prepared by a professional civil engineer registered in the State of Minnesota which illustrate locations of city water, city sewer, fire hydrants, manholes, power, telephone and cable lines, natural gas mains, and other service facilities. The applicant has submitted a civil site plan with details. h) The use is subject to such other additional conditions which the Planning Commission may find necessary to protect the general welfare, public safety and neighborhood character. Such additional conditions may be imposed in those situations where the other dimensional standards, performance standards, conditions or requirements in this Ordinance are insufficient to achieve the objectives contained in subsection 1108.202. In these circumstances, the City Council may impose restrictions and conditions on the CUP which are more stringent than those set forth in the Ordinance and which are consistent with the general conditions above. The additional conditions shall be set forth in the CUP approved by the City Council. Additional conditions to ensure the protection of the general health, safety and welfare of the public are included as part of the CUP Resolution. These conditions include approval of permits from other governmental agencies and approval of a City grading permit and a CUP for Outside Storage, Class II. 3. The CUP for grading is hereby approved, subject to the following conditions: a. The filling and removal must be done according to plans approved by the City Engineering Department. 3 b. The cleanup of fill material resulting from spills or general transportation of fill on any public road shall be the responsibility of the applicant. c. The Conditional Use Permit is subject to the issuance of required permits from all applicable governmental agencies. d. The CUP is valid for one year for land reclamation but is revocable at any time for noncompliance with any condition contained herein. At the expiration of its one (1) year term, the property owner may make an application to the City to renew the CUP. The initial approval of this CUP does not create any right, in law or equity, to the renewal thereof. 4. The CUP for Outdoor Storage, Class II is hereby approved, subject to the following conditions: a. Outdoor storage areas shall be screened by a 100% solid fence or wall of at least 6 feet in height. Privacy slats, wind screening or other fence inserts, commonly used with chain link fencing, shall not be used to achieve this screening requirement. b. All outdoor storage areas adjacent to a residential Zoning District shall meet the required building setbacks for the Industrial Zoning District; in all other instances outdoor storage shall meet the required parking setback. c. Storage or parking of vehicles larger than one (1) ton capacity may be stored, provided that such vehicles are used in connection with a business located in the principal structure on-site and are screened from view of adjacent residential property and public streets in accordance with the landscaping and screening requirements of the Zoning Code. d. A permit will be required for any wall exceeding four feet.
