MOTION BY:
SECOND BY:
The Prior Lake Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on August 22, 2005 and October
24, 2005, to consider an application from Busse Student Transportation for a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) to allow outdoor storage; and
Notice of the public hearing on said CUP was duly published in accordance with the applicable Prior
Lake Ordinances; and
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
The Planning Commission approved the CUP with specific conditions; and
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 Section 1108.202 of the Zoning
Ordinance.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PRIOR LAKE:
1. The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein.
2. The Planning Commission hereby adopts the following findings:
Section 1108.200 of the City Code sets forth the aeneral criteria utilized to review a CUP application.
(1) The use is consistent with and supportive of the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
Two of the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan is to "maintain high standards in the promotion and development of
commerce and industry." A policy supporting this objective is to "maintain proper physical site screening and landscaping
standards." The outdoor storage is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan provided
it compiles with the conditions of approval.
(2) The use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community as a whole.
The uses will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of the community as a whole provided all
conditions of approval are met.

(3) The use is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance and the Use District in which the
Conditional Use is located.
The purpose of the 1-1 use district is "to provide areas of the community that will allow general industrial uses that, due to
their size and nature, would not conform to the 'C-5' Business Park Use District." Outdoor storage is appropriate for this
district because of aesthetics.
One purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to "protect the residential, business, industrial and public areas of the community
and maintain their stability." The proposed use is consistent with this goal, provided the site complies with all conditions of
approval.
(4) The use will not have undue adverse impacts on governmental facilities, services, or improvements, which are
either existing or proposed.
So long as all conditions of approval are adhered to the uses will not over burden municipal facilities.
(5) The use will not have undue adverse impacts on the use and enjoyment of properties in close proximity to the
conditional use.
The Zoning Ordinance places conditions on outdoor storage in the 1-1 use district to protect adjacent uses. Provided all
conditions are met, the use will not have undue adverse impacts on the properties in close proximity.
(6) 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, approved by
the Planning Commission and incorporated as part of the conditions imposed on the use by the Planning
Commission.
The landscape plan was prepared by a licensed landscape architect.
(7) 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 plans shall be included as part of the conditions set forth
in the CUP approved by the City Council.
A registered civil engineer prepared drainage and utility plans for the site plan application.
(8) 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 Planning Commission 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 Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission may revise recommended conditions or attach additional conditions, as they deem appropriate
to protect the general welfare, public safety, and neighborhood character.
