4. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Public Hearing to consider a request from Randy Stangler for a rezoning of
his property at 6737 Labeaux Avenue NE and CUP for PS Deck for a cabinet
finishing business.
Brixius presented the background of this property and how it has been rezoned from I-1,
Light Industrial to B-3, Highway Commercial to B-2A, Special Business District in 2002.
The applicant is requesting a rezone the site to a PUD/B-2A. This change in zoning is an
effort to redefine the use of the site and to clean up a number of conditions and site
violations.
The property owner would like to have PS Deck Inc as a tenant. PS Deck is a small cabinet
finishing company with a staff of six people. They are looking to occupy 6,000 square feet
of the Stangler building, with intentions to one day occupy the entire building. A Col -Met
paint booth will be used to apply the paint and/or finishes to the product. Brixius informed
the commissioners that concerns have been expressed regarding the exhaust of vapor
and/or odors to the adjoining properties, but according to PS Deck the spray booth is
designed with exhaust filters and paint overspray arrestors to capture overspray vapors
and odors before air is exhausted from the shop.
Brixius went over the analysis of the May 91h, 2019 Planners Report, pages 2-6, which
discuss the PUD district standards that are specific to the property when considering a
change in zoning.
Brixius stated the recommendation from staff is to approve the rezoning from B-2A to
PUD/B-2A to allow the proposed building to have a variety of uses that are unique to the
PUD with performance standard to improve the site. Staff also recommends approval of
the PUD/B-2A zoning and a CUP for PS Deck for a light industrial use also be approved
with the following conditions:
1. All future tenant changes shall meet all building and fire code requirements for their
building occupancy classification prior to occupancy.
2. The site shall abide by all B-2A zoning restrictions.
3. Rigs to Rods must pursue and have a conditional use permit and certificate of
occupancy approved to remain in the building.
4. The applicant shall demonstrate adequate utility services for the proposed uses. If the
private systems do not meet code then connection to city utilities will be required.
5. The parking shall be consistent with the submitted site plan with the following
conditions:
a. The number of required parking stalls shall be determined by the tenant mix
and use of floor space.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 2
Regular Meeting of May 14, 2019
b. The pavement on the south side of the building shall be expanded to 50 feet to
provide adequate space for parking stalls and a drive lane that allow traffic
movement without encroaching on the unpaved surfaces. The paved parking
area shall be dimensioned and striped per city code. Disability parking shall be
designated and striped accordingly.
c. The driveway between the paved parking lot and 67th street shall be paved.
d. The parking area on the east side of the building shall be designed and
constructed in full compliance with city code. Without construction details at
this time this parking area is not approved with this development application.
e. All areas beyond the approved paved parking areas shall be grassed and
landscaped to define the boundaries of the approved parking area. Applicant
shall provide a landscape plan that establishes a schedule for establishment of
these turfed areas.
f. The applicant either combines the lots or establishes a cross access easement
across the southern lot in favor of the northern lot. This easement must be
recorded with the county.
6. Outdoor storage as shown on the site plan is not approved with the application.
Consideration of the outdoor storage shall be under a separate future conditional use
permit that is accompanied with plan details that are in response to the performance
standards for this use.
7. PS Deck shall pursue and obtain any necessary building and fire code approvals and a
certificate of occupancy.
Klecker mentioned the outside appearance of the building and wanted clarification on
which side PS Deck will be located in.
Anderson asked about the fire suppression and who makes the decision on when it is
needed or not. Brixius responded that the City has adopted 1306, and 1306 guides our staff
on how to implement fire suppression into new and/or old buildings.
Anderson brought up the outdoor storage and asked if there would be a timeline of
expiration or if that runs with the property. Brixius explained an interim use permit or a
conditional use permit that would be set in place if we would like to discuss outdoor storage
yard for this site.
Motioned by Klecker, seconded by Hudson, to open the Public Hearing. Ayes: Buhrmann,
Brempell, Klecker, Hudson, Anderson and Hailing. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION
DECLARED CARRIED.
Randy Stangler approached the podium and discussed the history of his property at 6737
Labeaux Avenue NE. Stangler informed commissioners of his current situation with a tenant
that is in there now, Rigs to Rods. Stangler informed commissioners that they are ready to
clean up the area and sprinkle the building for the new tenant, PS Deck Inc, to occupy the
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 3
Regular Meeting of May 14, 2019
other half of the building.
Buhrmann commented to Stangler that due to the current conditions of the site, it does not
appear that he has spent any time or money into fixing up the building. Stangler responded
that he is willing to fix up the building with having this new tenant opportunity with PS
Deck Inc. and that the other tenant, Rigs to Rods, will be out by the end of July.
Karl Johnson approached the podium and spoke about partnering with PS Deck and that he
has done this type of work for many years. He stated that they do not build any cabinets all
they do is apply the finish to the cabinets by utilizing sprayers. Buhrmann asked what
Johnson's investment is going to be in the building as a tenant. Johnson replied that they
have already invested in the spray booth and that they would like to be in Albertville due to
the location. Buhrmann asked Johnson if he knew that there was an occupancy permit
needed to occupy the space, and Johnson replied that he did not know, and neither did
Stangler. Stangler approached the podium and informed commissioners that he thought this
type of use was similar to an older use that was previously in the building and thought it
would be an acceptable use, until Al Brixius informed him that he would need to rezone the
property.
Brempell and Buhrmann asked about the current tenant, Rigs to Rods, and about the
outdoor storage they currently have. Stangler informed commissioners that Rigs to Rods
are the ones that have a contract with U-Haul and that they are doing that business without
his permission. Stangler stated that he has given them notice to comply with the city and if
they do not, their lease will not be renewed.
Klecker asked about the spray booth and the guidelines needed to operate the spray booth.
Karl Johnson responded that all spray booths are permitted by the State and have fire
suppression.
Chris Mazza with Sherwin Williams Paint Co. approached the booth to discuss the spray
booth that was sold to PS Deck Inc. Mazza informed commissioners that the spray booth has
high efficiency filters and that they need to make sure those filters are replaced regularly
when needed in order for the spray booth to work properly.
Klecker asked how many employees would be at this site and Karl Johnson responded that
there are currently 6, but they would like to see a total of 12 employees within about 2
years.

6. OTHER BUSINESS
A. Discussion of apartment concept plan for Leuer property at the Northwest
corner of County Road 19 and 53rd Street.
Brixius went over the concept plan brought by Henry Hansen (VHF Investments LLC) that is
being proposed on the 11.8 acre site at the northwest corner of Co. Rd. 19 and 53rd Street.
The proposed concept plan will need a change in land use and zoning to allow a combination
of medium and high density residential uses. Brixius discussed the comprehensive land use
plan amendment, the rezoning from a 13-2A to a PUD, and the preliminary and final plat.
Brixius went through the exhibits with the commissioners to show them the Council RCA,
the summary of project issues, the 2019 concept site plan, the apartment elevations, the
townhome elevations, and the day care elevations that are being proposed for this site.
Klecker is concerned about the number of people and vehicles that are being proposed for
this site and the number of exits that will be allowed for this development. Brixius informed
him that there will need to be a traffic study done to make sure that there are no conflicts.
Henry Hansen approached the podium to discuss market rate apartment housing. Hansen
stated that this location would fit well for this type of housing and that these apartments and
townhomes will be high -end and that by building this proposed development will entice
more people to come to Albertville to make this community and its businesses flourish.
Klecker would like the four-plex housing to be twin housing instead.
Buhrmann commented on the growth in the mega cities and that the population is important
for cities to grow healthy and to be successful. Buhrmann disagrees with the number of
apartments on this lot and strongly encourages the traffic study to occur so we can see if we
should continue to discuss this project. Buhrmann asked Hansen if he foresees the property
owner ever changing. Hansen responded that he does not foresee the ownership changing.
Hudson commented on the use of the traffic study, and that the developer will be paying for
the traffic study. Hudson also commented on all the growth that is rapidly happening around
us. Hudson stated that the commissioners need to give direction to the applicant and inform
them if they would be open to reviewing the results of the traffic study or if they are just
wasting their time and money on something they are not open to.
Anderson asked about the setbacks from the deck to the Kalland residence. Brixius
responded 50 feet.
Hansen and Anderson discussed parking at the Kindercare Daycare.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 5
Regular Meeting of May 14, 2019
Anderson and Brixus discussed details on landscaping.
Hansen discussed traffic lights and what types of fees are generated with a project like this.
Klecker asked if the four-plex could be senior living buildings. Hansen responded that he is
familiar with senior or assisted living and have had conversations about this concept, but the
price is higher.
Hansen informed that the building and apartments would have bigger size living quarters
and bedrooms, nice countertops, a community room, underground parking, a workout
facility, and possibly a pool.
Brempell would like to discuss more details of the buildings and apartments. He brought up
the traffic study, the washer and dryers, the trash chute and truck access underground.
Brempell also asked about the renter criteria and the process of a renter. Hansen responded
that there will be a background and credit check for the renters. Brempell also asked about
the bus pick up access point for the school. Hansen suggested the playground area for now,
but that is not for sure. Brempell asked about the rental square footage. Hansen responded it
is around $1.40 per square foot.
Brempell is curious to know if there is still demand for a daycare with the Laurel Academy
being open in Albertville. He would like to know if this will be a school or a daycare facility
or both.
Vikram approached the podium and informed commissioners that there was a study done on
the daycare need in the Wright County demand for childcare and there is a need. Vikram
described his daycare building and that they will be having a full commercial kitchen and
that the building and rooms are bigger and more open than other daycares around. His goal
is to provide a good childcare facility where kids can spend the majority of their day, at an
affordable rate.
Brempell asked about TIFF and/or abatements on this project, Brixius responded that there
has been no discussion of city financing for this project.
Hudson stated that he would like to see this project move forward with the traffic study and
would like the other commissioners to give honest direction to the applicant so feel
comfortable moving forward with the traffic study or not. Buhrmann agrees with Hudson
and that the traffic study is needed, he is in support to move forward. Anderson agrees with
moving forward on this project and believes it may be a plus for the growth in the area, but
also has concern for the current residents that live in the area and would like their voice to
be heard. Klecker is concerned about the density in the area. Brempell is in support of
moving forward with this project.

FROM: Al Brixius / Lexi Weihe
DATE: July 2, 2019
RE: PS Deck CUP
FILE NO: 163.06 19.05
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 6737 Labeaux Ave NE
PID: 101500351402 and101500351404
BACKGROUND
PS Deck is a furniture finishing and painting company, which applies paint and finishes to
cabinets and furniture. PS Deck has submitted a development application for a CUP for the
allowance of limited light industrial use in a PUD/B2-A zoning district. PS Deck is located in
the Stangler Building at 6737 Labeaux Ave NE, Albertville Minnesota. PS Deck would
occupy 6,500 square feet of the Stangler Building. The Stangler Building has recently been
rezoned to a PUD/132-A Special Business District in order to broaden the allowable uses for
the building and accommodate potential future tenants. This new zoning district allows for
limited light industrial uses by conditional use permit.
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A: Site Plan 1
Exhibit B: Site Plan 2
Exhibit C: Building Inspector Letter - June 5th, 2019
s
ANALYSIS
The rezoning of the property to a PUD with underlying 132-A (Special Business District)
standards created a zoning district specific to the property. Performance standards were
created for this district which would allow for light manufacturing as a CUP.
Lot Size and Width
The subject site is located on two separate parcels, with the building on the larger parcel to
the north and a smaller parcel running parallel to 67t" Street NE. The parcel containing the
building is 2 acres in area and the parcel parallel to 67t" Street NE is 1 acre in area. The site
meets the minimum lot area and minimum lot width standards. The approximate width of the
lot is 580 feet and the total area of the two parcels put together is 3 acres or 130,680 square
feet. The site does not abut a Residential District, but it is recommended that screening be
included surrounding the proposed fence. With this screening acting as a buffer, this would
be an acceptable provision made to control and reduce noise.
Conditional Uses — Limited Light Industrial:
Light manufacturing is listed as a Conditional Use in the PUD/B2-A zoning district with the
conditions listed below:
Light Industrial or assembly of a wide variety of products; provided, that:
A. Tenants shall meet all building and fire code requirements for their building
occupancy classification prior to occupancy.
Comment: See the building inspector's letter in exhibit C for the requirements.
The building must meet building and fire code and receive a certification of
occupancy before entering the building.
B. On site loading and delivery shall meet the conditions of chapter 1300 of the
Albertville Zoning Code.
Comment: The applicant has designated a loading zone on the east side of the
building. This zone must only be used for loading and delivery and designated as a
no parking zone.

environment.
Comment: The CUP submitted addresses the need for paint/spray booth due
to the nature of the business. The application of paint and or finishes will be
conducted with a Col -Met paint booth. According to the PS Deck, the spray booth is
designed with exhaust filters and paint overspray arrestors to capture overspray
vapors and odors before air is exhausted from the shop. The spray booth is designed
not to generate fumes or odors to adjoining properties. All painting must be
conducted in the approved paint booth.
E. Required parking for the use shall be of paved surface, dimensioned and striped
per city code. Disability parking shall be designated and striped accordingly.
Comment: 10 parking stalls is adequate based on the small number of
employees and the limited number of customers that would physically come to the
business. One stall on the south side of the building is designated as a disability stall.
See the site plan 1 in exhibit A for more details. Vehicles may only be parked in the
approved designated, paved parking stalls.
F. All trash and or recycling equipment shall be located within a trash enclosure or
within the building.
Comment: The site plan does not show any outdoor trash or recycling
equipment, therefore, all dumpsters shall be within the building except for on trash

shall be under a separate future interim use permit that is accompanied with a plan that
details the response to the performance standards for this use.

RE: Rigs to Rods CUP
FILE NO: 163.06 19.03
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 6737 Labeaux Ave NE
PID: 101500351402 and101500351404
BACKGROUND
Rigs to Rods, an auto repair shop located in the Stangler Building at 6737 Labeaux Ave NE,
has submitted a development application for a CUP for the allowance of a minor auto repair
shop and an interim use permit for outdoor storage in a PUD / B-2A zoning district. The
Stangler Building has recently been rezoned to a PUD / B-2A Special Business District in
order to broaden the allowable uses for the building and accommodate potential future
tenants. This zoning district does allow for minor auto repair shops with a Conditional Use
Permit.
The site plans submitted also addresses the need for outdoor storage on the property due to
the nature of the business. Rigs to Rods is an automotive repair shop providing services
such as oil changes, tire repair, brakes, minor collision work, boat and RV mechanical work
and cleaning services. The business also includes a U-Haul rental service with moving
trucks and trailers, as well as retail sales of boxes and other moving items. It is proposed
that the outdoor storage area will be used for customer drop-off and pick-up of their vehicles
as well as storage for materials of the business. It is intended that by having a designated
fenced -in outdoor storage area on the property, there will be proper boundaries set and will
provide fluidity of traffic. The site plans propose a U-Haul area that will be used to display
rental trucks and trailers and will be classified as an accessory use of open or outdoor
display areas.

Narrative
ANALYSIS
The rezoning of the property to a PUD with underlying B-2A (Special Business District)

outdoor storage area will be surface with material that meets code and can be
approve by City Staff.
F. The site plan will be required to illustrate access and egress to the outdoor storage
area that does not interfere with the required parking.
The access and egress to the outdoor storage area is not illustrated on the site
plans. Future plans must include where vehicles will be accessing and
circulating around the outdoor storage area and property. New site plans must
be submitted to determine a location for entering/exiting the outdoor storage
area. Said access and exiting shall occur via a paved surface. Access and
traffic circulation for the outdoor storage area via a grassed or unpaved

IV
Based on our review of the outdoor storage request staff; is comfortable in having the
planning commission and council approve the western outdoor storage area with conditions
that the applicant provide additional information that demonstrates full compliance with the
performance standards for outdoor storage outlined in the City zoning code and subject to
City staff approve of the submitted information..
Site plans show another proposed outdoor storage area to the north of the building. This
area is not part of the current application and is not being considered. A separate
application will be required in the future if this outdoor storage area will be pursued.
Open or Outdoor Display of Merchandise:
Site plans also illustrates a U-Haul area located south of the fenced outdoor storage area.
This would fall into the category of a permitted accessory use as an open or outdoor display
of merchandise and shall follow the standards set in the B-2A zoning district:
Open or outdoor display of merchandise for sale or rent as an accessory use; provided, that:
A. Outdoor display of merchandise connected with the principal use is limited to
ten percent (10%) of the gross floor area of the principal building or tenant bay,
as applicable.
Rigs to Rods has 5,000 sf of the building on site. Ten percent of 5,000
would equal 500 sf of outdoor display of merchandise that would be
allowed. Currently the site plans illustrate greater than 500 sf that would
be the U-Haul display area. Site plans must be modified to show a
display area of 500 sf or less.
B. The use does not take up parking space as required for conformity to this
ordinance.
The location of the U-Haul display area does not interfere with current
parking on site. However, the proposed display area on the site plans
must be altered to 500 sf or less in area. Staff suggests that the
relocation of the U-Haul display area shall continue to not interfere with
existing parking on site.
C. The outdoor display area is surfaced with bitumen.
The outdoor display cannot occupy a grass or dirt area of the site. Any
outdoor display area must be on a bituminous surface and meet the
dimensional restriction noted above.
19
D. The applicant demonstrates that pedestrian circulation is not disrupted as a
result of the outdoor display area by providing the following:
1. Outdoor display area shall be segregated from through pedestrian
circulation by means of temporary fencing, bollards, ropes, plantings, or
other methods.
2. Minimum clear passage zone for pedestrians at the perimeter of the
outdoor display area shall be at least five feet (5') without interference
from parked motor vehicles, bollards, trees, tree gates, curbs,
stairways, trash receptacles, streetlights, parking meters, or the like.
The location of the 500 sf or less display area will not disrupt
pedestrian circulation on site. Site plans must be modified to reflect a
location, size and surfacing of the U-Haul display area.

DATE: July 2, 2019
RE: Federated Co-op Fuel Tank Request.
FILE NO: 165 05 19.04
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 11229 60th Street NE
PI D: 101-500-012-131
BACKGROUND:
In July 2013, the Albertville City Council approved a change in zoning for the Federated
Co-op Site at 11229 60th Street from B-3 Highway Commercial District to PUD/ B-3
Planned Unit Development / Business Highway District. This zoning change recognized
that the Federated Co -Op was existing in a nonconforming condition that prevented
them from growing or improving their business. The new zoning made the farm supply
business and it associated uses allowed uses with in the district.
Along with the PUD/ B-3 district the city approved a site plan that identified the uses,
building and operations on the site. This included the approval of a storage tank field
for up to 6 fuel tanks (5 of these tanks store fuel oil and diesel fuel). Federated Co-op is
requesting an amendment to their PUD to allow a seventh tank within their tank
containment area. The new tank is proposed to contain 10,000 gallons of t#e premium
gasoline.
EXHIBITS:
Exhibit A Site plan
Exhibit B 2013 Tank containment area
Exhibit C Federated Co-op Narrative
Exhibit D Summit Companies — Evaluation of New Fuel Tank
Exhibit E Fire Chief Letter
041.1
ANALYSIS:
Summit Companies Report: The installation of a new 10,000 gallon above ground
gasoline tank raises a number of issues related to public safety and adjoining land uses.
The applicant has submitted an evaluation report on the proposed new fuel tank being
placed in the existing outdoor tank containment area prepared by Summit Fire National
Consulting. This report offers the following findings:
1. The existing tank field meets minimum separation from property lines.
2. The containment area has diking and capacity to accommodate the new 10,000 tank.
3. The separation between tanks is adequate.
4. Existing pipelines are in a safe arrangement.
5. All aspects of the existing and proposed tank installation are in compliance with
applicable code requirements.
Fire Chief's Letter: Upon the receipt of the development application and the Summit
report the Fire Chief, City Building official, Building Inspector/ Fire Marshal reviewed the
submitted information. While they noted that the new fuel tank would meet the
applicable codes per the Summit report, they raised a number of emergency
management concerns related to the introduction of the new 10,000 gallon gasoline
storage tank (See Exhibit E)
The site's limited access and the lack of water supply to the site present obstacles for
fire department response for non -routine calls to the facility. The tank's proximity to
adjoining lands uses presents concerns for evacuation distances for emergency events.
The Fire Chief's letter notes that the applicant has added extra fuel tanks beyond the
approved PUD, and the new 10,000 gallon tank will almost double the gasoline storage
on the site.
Zoning:
The PUD/B-3 zoning will allow both the existing fuel storage and motor fuel stations
such as BP, Super America and Casey's by conditional use permit. The motor fuel
stations in the city are certainly closer to adjoining land uses and neighborhoods that
the separation offered by Federated Co -Op, however, these fuel station tanks are below
ground and offer a different level of protection.
In discussion, with City staff the provision of an underground tank would be more
acceptable with regard to security and emergency management.
►N
CONCLUSION:
Gasoline is more volatile and more flammable than the other fuels being stored at the
Federated Co -Op site. The new tank; along with the existing gasoline storage tanks,
will almost double the gasoline quantities being kept on the site. Based on City staff
review and concerns related to emergency management we cannot recommend the
addition of another above ground ta4k gasoline storage tank. In this regard we offer the
following recommendations.
1. Recommendation for denial of the PUD amendment with the following findings.
• The addition of anew 10,000 gallon gasoline above ground storage tank will
almost double the gasoline storage on the site. Extra gasoline fuel tanks have be
added to the site without city approval since the PUD was approved in 2013.
• Gasoline is more volatile and more flammable than the other fuels stored at the
site.
• The site offers not water supply for the fire department.
• The Albertville Fire Department lacks the equipment to handle a non -routine call
at the facility.
• The site offers no on -site, fire -fighting equipment that would assist the fire
department with a non -routine call at the facility.
• The new fuel storage tank does not meet the Emergency Response Guidelines
for downwind evacuation separations for adjoining land uses.
2. Federated Co-op continues to be a valued business within the City and the
expansion of the business is critical for their continued success. In this regard, City
Staff can recommend approval of additional gasoline storage with the condition that it is
an underground tank and meets the applicable performance standards of Section
4400.4 for a motor fuel station. With this approval the applicant shall submit a revised
site plan and tank construction plans for review and approval of the City Staff.
3. If the Planning Commission or City Council does not agree with the recommendations
of the City Staff and wishes to approve the original applicants request. Said approval
shall include the following conditions:
• The above ground tank meets all building and fire code requirements per the
Summit evaluation report.
• Applicant shall provide tank field security to prevent access to the tanks and tank
controls that is approved by the City Fire Chief.

Introduction
Federated Coops supplies inputs to local farmers including fuel, oil, fertilizer, crop protection, animal
health, feed, seed, equipment, consulting and application services. We also serve local home owners
with lawn and garden products. Most products are delivered by truck in large quantities but customers
also come to the facility to pick up product. We also serve the needs of commercial accounts with fuel,
lubricants and other related products.
Project
Federated Coop purchased and rebuilt the bulk petroleum plant east of ourfertilizer plant in 2013. This
plant currently has six tanks with a combined storage of approximately 80,000 gallons. The petroleum
business has continued to grow, requiring Federated to add an additional delivery truck and driver.
Federated now employs eight full time and four seasonal people at our Albertville location. With this
growth, there has been an increase in demand for additional product and capacity at our plant.
Federated would like to apply for an amendment to the PUd for an addition of one 10,000 gallon
storage tank, to be added to the existing bulk petroleum facility, for the purpose of adding premium
non-oxy gasoline. Federated has contracted with Summit Fire National Consulting to do a code review,
evaluate the existing facility and the proposed fuel tank installation. I have provided a copy along with
the application. All areas are fenced and secured.
Adjoining Property
Federated property is surrounded by the railroad and a mix of light industrial business and residential to
the north and west. The city park is on the east and south borders, with a tree line on our property that
acts as a natural screen.

CODE REQUIREMENTS
Federated Co-ops is proposing to install a new 10,000 gallon storage tank within their
existing tank farm, which will contain gasoline fuel. The existing tank farm is considered
an Outdoor Control Area containing hazardous materials per the MSBC and MSFC, and
therefore must meet associated requirements pertaining to the storage and use of these
materials.
The Fire Code regulates hazardous materials by placing them into hazard
classifications, and select requirements are based on this classification, hazardous
material quantity, container type, and storage location. Per the MSFC, gasoline would
be classified as a Class 1-13 Flammable Liquid.
Applicable code requirements for this project are summarized in Table 2 on the
following pages. Commentary relevant to Federated Co-Ops' existing tank farm and
proposed new fuel tank installation is provided in blue italics as needed.

The volumetric capacity of the diked area shall not be less
than the greatest amount of liquid that can be released from
the largest tank within the diked area, assuming a full tank.
See Attachment 1 for existing containment calculations. The

The required containment includes the largest tank capacity
(19,200 gallons) plus a 25 year rain event (6,604 gallons),
for a required containment volume of 25,804 gallons.
Therefore, sufficient containment volume will still be

SUMMARY
SFNC was contracted by Federated Co-Ops to review select code requirements
pertaining to the proposed Installation of a 10,000 gallon fuel storage tank within the
existing tank farm located at11229 60m Street NE in Albertville, MN Per SFNC's review
and communication with the tank manufacturer, both the existing and proposed storage
tanks were designed and constructed in accordance with ANSl/Ul_ 142 - Standard for
SreelAbovegro.und Tanks for Flammable and Combustible Liquids. The storage of
gasoline in an outdoor aboveground storage tank is regulated by applicable
requirements in the 2015 MSFC, and the 2012 edition of NFPA 30.
The existing tank farm meets minimum separation requirements from property lines,
public ways., and important buildings. Diking is provided via a 2'-6" high metal barrier
with liner designed to .contain the capacity of the largest tank plus.a.25-year rain=event.
This calculates to a required containment volume of 25,804 gallons. After the
Installation of the proposed new storage tank, the net containment volume available. will
be 31,491 gallons. Therefore sufficient containment volume for the tank farm will still be
provided.
It was noted that for tanks not over 150 f.- in diameter storing Class I or 11 liquids, the
minimum shell4o-shell spacing of aboveground storage tanks given by NFPA 30 Table
22,4.2.1 shall be 1/6 x the sum of adjacent tank diameters, but not less than 3'-0". Tank
diameters for both the existing and proposed tank are approximately 1 V-0", which
would require a minimum spacing of 3'-8" between adjacent tanks per this section.
Existing drawings show the spacing between a -few select tanks at X-0", which would
not meet the minimum requirement. Based. on code and commentary research, the 3'-0"
minimum is based on the need for access formal and for .application of hose
streams to .cool a fire -exposed tank. Spacing for larger tanks is an arbitrary fraction of
tank diameter, sufficient to Permit'an orderly and safe arrangement for pipelines and
prevent fire spread. It is SFNC's opinion that the 8 inch difference in tank separation will
not have a measurable difference in either fire prevention or fire control. If spacing and
arrangement of piping allows, the installation of the proposed new storage tank should
be spaced a minimum of 3'-8" from adjacent tanks. Existing pipelines were observed to
be in a safe arrangement, and first responders have sufficient space to access any tank
requiring emergency response. All other aspects of both the existing tanks farm and
proposed new tank installation are in compliance with applicable code requirements.
Please contact our office with any questions concerning this analysis.

TO: Alan BriAus — City Planner

RE: Federated Co-Ops PUD Amendment Application
Case No: 2019-004PM
June 17th, 2019
On June 11th, 2019 City Staff met to discuss the application for a PUD amendment from Federated Co-
Ops to add a 7th (10,000 gallon) bulk fuel storage tank on their property at 5888 Lamont Av NE.
Present at this meeting were Eric Bullen (Fire Chief), Paul Heins (Building Official), Jim Hildebrandt
(Building Inspector / Fire Marshal), and Maeghan Becker (Building Permit Tech).
As part of their application process, Federated Co-Ops enlisted the services of Summit Fire National
Consulting (SFNC) for the purpose of doing a code review of the applicable requirements and
evaluate the proposed new fuel tank installation. City Staff believes that the Fire Code review was
thorough, complete and, outside of a couple minor variations, believes that both the previous bulk
fuel tank installation and the proposed 7th bulk fuel tank would meet applicable code and standards.
Despite the code review, City Staff has several safety and emergency management concerns
regarding the Federated Co-Ops PUD Amendment Application from a risk management perspective. I
have also been in contact with the Wright County Director of Emergency Management, Seth Hansen,
and he agrees with the concerns detailed below:
1. Limited access, to the current site, for the Fire Department.
2. No water supply, at the current site, for the Fire Department.
3. The Fire Department lacks the equipment needed to handle a non -routine call at the
facility.
4. There is no, on -site, firefighting equipment that would assist in non -routine calls at the
facility.
[W14i1111UM]
53
5. Minimum Security of the bulk fuel facility.
a. Federated Co -Op staff does a great job of managing the facility during operational
hours. There are currently no after -hour security features for the property.
6. Emergency Response Guidelines outline an initial downwind evacuation of at least 300
meters (1000 feet) for large gasoline spills and if a storage tank is involved in a fire,
ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800
meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. Currently, the proximity to residential and public
gathering areas from the approved six tanks are:
a. 170' to the Albertville Friendly City Days band stage and beer gardens.
b. 210' to the nearest residence.
c. 245' to the Central Park pavilion
d. 500' to the Albertville City Hall
e. 770' to the STMA Arena
f. 800' to the Albertville Fire Hall
7. The requested additional fuel tank is for 10,000 gallons of premium unleaded gasoline.
This would almost double the amount of highly flammable, potentially explosive, gasoline
being kept on site.
8. Extra fuel tanks have been added to the facility since the initial PUD application, adding to
the fuel storage already on -site.
Under its current conditions, the risks associated with the Federated Co-Ops bulk fuel storage facility
already exceed what we are able to manage as a Fire Department. It is City Staffs' belief that adding
an extra 10,000 gallon tank of gasoline storage will further increase those risks.
