Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the preliminary plat. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
The property (21.2 acres) on the southeast corner of Baltimore Street NE and 103rd Avenue is zoned PBD (Planned Business District) and I-2 (Heavy Industrial) (101st Avenue). At this time, Menards wishes to construct an additional warehouse building on the south side of their property.
A conditional use permit is required for all uses in the PBD district. Therefore, the applicant is requesting approval of both a preliminary plat and conditional use permit for Menards construction of a 16,166 square foot warehouse at this time.
The proposed warehouse building is proposed to be located just south of the existing warehouse building. The elevations attached to the report propose a fence that will match the existing fence on site to screen the warehouse building.
Preliminary Plat
The applicant is proposing to relocate existing ponding on the south side of the site in order to have a location to construct the proposed second warehouse building. The relocated ponding will be located on Outlot AB. Therefore, a plat is required to create an Outlot AB for Menards to purchase from the existing property owner on 101st Avenue. The property owner on 101st Avenue will retain Lot 2 Block 1 for their existing building. Lot 1 Block 1 will include the existing Menards site and the area that will be used to construct the new warehouse building. Outlot A will be used for ponding/storm drainage.
Menards has presented a preliminary plat that contains two lots and two outlots. The total acreage of the site is 21.2 acres. Lot 1, Block 1, on which the Menards site is to be located, is approximately 16.2 acres.
Park dedication will be required for the additional area that is being platted with Lot 1 Block 1(new warehouse building).
Coon Creek Watershed District (CCWD) reviewed the site and has concurred with the project. No site work will be allowed until a CCWD permit has been obtained.
This property will require extensive grading to construct the new ponds. There is an existing storm sewer from 101st Avenue that runs through the new lot. A 10’ wide easement must be dedicated on the plat or by separate document to cover the storm sewer.
The size of grading on this site requires a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA.)
A portion of this parcel is shown on the FEMA flood maps as an area determined to be in an A-Zone, an area that can be inundated by 100 year flooding. This designation will require the developer to process a Letter of Map Revision with FEMA.
Signage
Any signage that is placed on this site requires a separate permit process and is addressed as such in the conditions.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
