Mayor and Council Request for Action
August 15, 2022
SUBJECT: PLANNING – ALBERTVILLE SELF-STORAGE – INDUSTRIAL
DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution No. 2022-27 and Ordinance No. 2022-12 addressing the
following development applications for Darkenwald Corporation to allow for the construction of
a Self-Storage Facility in the City of Albertville.
BACKGROUND: Darkenwald Corporation has requested the approval of a number of
development applications associated with the proposed construction of a multiple building self-
storage facility upon a 9.05-acre lot (Lot 1, Block 1 AVA Second Addition proposed) located at
the northeast corner of 67th Street and Karmen Avenue.
To facilitate the development proposal, approval of the following development applications have
been formally requested:
1. Zoning Map Amendment. To change the zoning of the subject property from I-2
General Industrial District and B-2A, Special Business District to PUD/I-2, Planned
Unit Development/General Industrial. The PUD district designation is required to allow
multiple principal buildings on one lot.
2. Preliminary and Final Plat. To allow the creation of two buildable lots and one Outlot.
3. PUD Site and Building Plan Review. Review of site and building plans is required for
new industrial construction. The applicants have proposed a self-storage facility
comprised of 8 buildings and an area of outdoor storage on the proposed Lot 1, Block 1
AVA Second Addition (9.05 acres).
City Staff has reviewed the aforementioned application and submission materials and prepared
the August 3, 2022, planning report.
The Albertville Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the development
application and staff reports on August 10, 2022. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, the
Planning Commission recommended approval of each of the development applications with the
conditions outlined in the August 3, 2022, Planning Report.
KEY ISSUES:
• Portions of the subject site are presently zoned B-2A, Special Business. To accommodate
this industrial use, it is necessary to change the zoning. The requested change in zoning
is consistent with the Albertville Vision study which encourages industrial development
in this area of the city. The proposed zoning change is consistent with the City’s recent
zoning actions for the neighboring AVA and Scherer Bros Industrial Development
Agenda Page 20
Mayor and Council Request for Action – August 15, 2022
Albertville Self-Storage Development Page 2 of 2
• The proposed land use is industrial in nature and will be compatible with the adjoining
industrial development. The Self-Storage facility will not burden City utilities or
services. Anticipated traffic type and volumes from this use are within the capacity of the
available streets.
• The preliminary and final plats are creating lots that meet the lot area and width
requirements of the I-2 General Industrial zoning district.
• The August 3, 2022, Planning Report outlines the conditions and PUD flexibilities that
are recommended for approval of the PUD Site and Building plans. These conditions
have been reviewed and recommended for approval by the Albertville Planning
Commission.
• The attached Resolution outlines conditions of approval that must be satisfied to bring
the preliminary plat, final plat and the PUD site and building plan into compliance with
City zoning performance standards.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: Any change in zoning is a policy decision for
the City Council. The Albertville Planning Commission held a public hearing on August 10,
2022 and agreed with the Zoning Map Amendment Findings outlined in the August 3, 2022
Planning Report and recommended that the City Council approve the change in zoning to the
PUD/I-2 Planned Unit Development/General Industrial District.
With regard to the applications for preliminary plat, site and building plan, and conditional use
permit; the Planning Commission recommended approval of each application with the conditions
outlined in the August 3, 2022, Planning Report. These conditions are outlined in the attached
Resolution.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The developer shall enter into a development agreement
that outlines the financial responsibilities for the development including City fees and
dedications. All required on-site and off-site improvements shall be the responsibility of
developer.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The change in zoning is a policy decision of the City Council.
If the project is approved, the applicant will be required to enter into a development contract
prepared by the City Attorney which outlines the required development, development schedule,
on and off-site improvements and the securities and financing of the required improvements.

ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Zoning Map Amendments
Section 300.1F of the Albertville Zoning Code outlines the following criteria for
evaluating a Plan amendment or a zoning change:
1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific
policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the
official City Comprehensive Plan.
Comment: The requested change in zoning form B-2A business park to PUD I-2
is consistent with Albertville’s goals and policies of the City’s 2030 Vision Study,
Promotes industrial use in this area of the city.
2. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained
herein.
Comment: Rezoning the subject site to PUD I-2, general industrial will subject
the proposed industrial facility to all the performance standard applicable in the
zoning and subdivision codes and standards of I-2, defined through the site plan
review.
3. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it
is proposed.
Agenda Page 23
3
Comment: Rezoning of the subject site from B-2A Special Business District to
PUD I-2 General Industrial District will change the type of allowed uses in this
area of the city. The land use and zoning is consistent with the City’s recent
zoning actions for the neighboring AVA, and Scherer Bros Industrial
developments.
4. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and
will not overburden the city’s service capacity.
Comment: Public sewer and water and other utilities exist in this area. The
available municipal utilities in this area of the City have the size and capacity to
accommodate the change to industrial land use and zoning. Extensions of and
connection to the utilities will be evaluated with the subdivision and site plan
proposals that have been submitted. Self-Storage facilities will have minimal
impact on utilities.
5. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within the capabilities of streets
serving the property.
Comment: The current streets and the location of the subject site can handle the
amount of traffic generated by the proposed use. Self-Storage facilities are low
traffic generators.
A change of zoning remains a policy decision of the Planning Commission and the City
Council. However, City Staff would recommend supporting the land use and zoning
change based on the following findings.
1. The City’s 2030 Visioning Study identifies a demand for industrial use expansion
in the area.
2. The subject site offers access to major roadways, Labeaux Ave NE and 70th St
NE which can accommodate the industrial users and anticipated traffic.
3. As a requirement of site plan review, compatibility issues will be addressed
through screening, setbacks, building location and site design.
4. The proposed land uses will not overburden City utilities and sewer capacity.
Preliminary / Final Plat
Streets. The plan shows the extension of Karmen Avenue right-of-way to meet with 70th
St NE. The current plat does not require any new street construction beyond current
conditions. Karmen Avenue will be constructed north of the current cul-de-sac with the
future platting of Outlot A.
Agenda Page 24
4
Lots. As indicated, the preliminary plat includes two lots and one outlot. As shown in the
table below both lots exceed the minimum lot area and width requirements of the I-2
zoning district.
Lot Area Lot Width
Lot 1 9.05 acres 2494 ft
Lot 2 3.82 acres 114 ft
Outlot A 13.91 acres 2608 ft
Outlot A is a future development phase- No building permits will be issued for Outlot A
until it’s platted into a Lot and Block description.
Wetlands. The plat illustrates existing wetlands and the required wetland buffers. In
review of the wetlands, we offer the following comments.
1. Within Outlot A, wetlands and their buffer areas located along the north
side of the development area shall be covered by a drainage and utility
easement. This is to prevent future intrusion within the wetlands and
wetland buffer.
2. The final plat shows a drainage and utility easement from the AVA
Addition extending into Lot 1, Block 1 of the new AVA Second Addition.
The size and location of the easement will interfere with proposed building
placement on Lot 1. A portion of this easement will need to be vacated to
accommodate the proposed building placement and site improvements
shown on the applicant’s site plan. A description of that portion of the
easements to be vacated must be provided by the applicant and public
hearing with the city council and council action is needed to vacate the
easement.
3. The final plat must be revised to illustrate property line easements. The
Subdivision code requires 10-foot drainage and utility easement along all
lot lines. On shared side and rear lot lines the easement may be centered
on the lot line.
4. The grading plan, drainage plan and utility plan shall be subject to the
review and approval of the City Engineer. The City Engineer shall review
and approve the size, configuration, and location of all required
easements.
Park Dedication. According to the 11-7-8-2, a cash in lieu of a land dedication
contribution is required for the platting of industrial land. The dedications applies to Lot 1
and 2. Such fee will be calculated based upon rates established by the city and will be
imposed as a condition of final plat approval.
Agenda Page 25
5
Development Agreement. With the approval of the final plat the Applicant shall enter
into a development agreement with the city which will address the required public
improvements and site development per the approved plans.
Site and Building Plan Review
Site Access and Circulation. The site subject is proposed to be accessed from 67th
Street. In review of the access and circulation patterns within the site we offer the
following comments.
1. The proposed curb cut at the property line is 42 feet in width. By City Code the
maximum curb cut width is 24 feet unless otherwise approved by the City
Engineer. The City Engineer has reviewed the proposed curb cut and
recommend approval of the 42 foot width as a PUD flexibility.
2. The drive aisles widths within the outdoor storage area are generous ranging
from 24 feet nearest Building H to 36 and 40 feet. As a condition of the PUD the
outdoor storage shall be striped per the approve site plan to delineate and
distinguish the storage area stalls from the drive aisles.
3. Staff has concern with traffic movements in the northwest corner of the site
around the garage type storage units. The drive aisles between these buildings
are 24 feet in width. These units must be accessible to a fire truck. The
applicant must demonstrate that the building spacing and drive aisles provide
adequate turning radii for a 33-foot-long fire truck to circulate around the
buildings. Applicant must overlay the fire truck turning movements onto the site
plan to demonstrate their layout is adequate.
4. Applicant shall provide a detail for the proposed site access gate and security
measures that will control access to the site.
Setbacks. The table below, the building setback proposed on Lot 1 in comparison with
the applicable I-2 District Setback requirements.
Required Closest Proposed
Front (West and South) 30 Feet 30 Feet (Building H)
Back (East) 20 Feet 30 Feet (Building G)
Side (North) 10 Feet 8 Feet (Building A)
Building A. Building A fails to meet the required I-2 district, 10’ side yard setback. The
building A is located at the north side of the site near the wetland, currently the building
set back is approximately 8’ from the property line. The PUD district allow the city to
grant some flexibility from district setbacks. The building at this location will be
significantly separated from any future building or site improvements to the north by the
permanent easement covering the wetland and wetland buffer. Provided the applicant
can demonstrate the needed fire truck circulation around the northwest storage unit
Agenda Page 26
6
buildings, staff would recommend approving the 8-foot Building A side yard setback as
a PUD flexibility.
Off-Street Parking. Currently there is no standard set specifically for a self-storage
facility in Albertville zoning code. Provision 1200.9.A states that for uses not specifically
identified for parking in the zoning code an individual determination may made based on
industrial standards. City Staff believes that the proposed 10 parking stalls are sufficient
for the proposed use based on research provided by ITE (Institute of Transportation
Engineers) parking generation case studies and research of parking regulations of other
communities.
All driveways, parking and outdoor storage area shall have perimeter concrete curbing,
paved surfacing and stripe parking stalls and outdoor storage area stalls.
Trash Handling. The site plan does not illustrate the location of trash handling
equipment. The site plan notes refer this issue to the building architectural drawings.
Review of the building floor plans does not reveal the location or provision of a trash
handling equipment. The plans must be revised to identify the locations trash handling
equipment either within the buildings or outdoor trash enclosures. The locations must be
convenient to the various buildings and accessible to trash haulers. Details on any
outdoor trash enclosures must be provided for city approval.
Building Materials. The Building Elevations show the exterior building treatments for
each of the buildings.
The garage type storage units are intended to have 7-inch vinyl lap siding around all
sides of the building. Vinyl is listed as an acceptable exterior building material by code,
however, its application around the entire long building facade results in a very bland
visual appearance that is inconsistent with the architecture approved for AVA and
Scherer Bros. City Staff recommends the provision of a brick, stone or their replicants
wainscot covering bottom 4 to 5 feet of the exterior walls of the garage type buildings
facing the public streets or adjoining properties.
Building H, is the larger climate controlled storage building. The building elevations
indicate that the exterior building material for his building will be solely EIFS. The
building elevation show a monotonous exterior finish with no architecture relief visible
from the street other than the overhead doors on the north and south sides of the
building. The west building wall facing Karmen Avenue is 200 feet long. This featureless
building is not consistent with the quality of the AVA and Scherer Bros buildings, we
would recommend provide some variation in materials, colors and / or landscaping to
break up the building mass and provide some visual interest in the building.
Building Layout. In review of the building floor plans Staff offers the following
comments.
Agenda Page 27
7
1. Overhead doors are shown in the elevations for Building H, but do not show up
on the floor plan of Building H. Floor plans need to be updated to illustrate the
location and dimensions of the overhead doors. The overhead doors will change
the building floor plan. If the overhead doors are intended to provide vehicle
access inside the building the overall floor plan must illustrate the proposed traffic
circulation.
2. The site plan refers to the architectural drawings for the provision of the trash
handling equipment neither Building H nor the garage type storage units address
the trash handling equipment.
3. All the buildings will be required to have a fire suppression system. The floor
plans illustrate utility room for the sprinkler system within the buildings. These
rooms near the center of each garage type building, For the single loaded
buildings A, D, E, F and G, the sprinkler room is located at the back of the
buildings with a access via a man door outside the fenced area of the site. This
presents concerns for access to these room without a landing and sidewalk to
these doors; these rooms will be inaccessible during winter snow months. The
sprinkler rooms must be relocated to have access from inside the fenced area of
the site where clear vehicle and pedestrian access to the room entrance is
available.
Mechanical Equipment. The Applicant shall provide revised site and building plans
illustrating the location and screening of any ground mounted or rooftop mechanical
equipment.
Building Height. The proposed buildings 20 feet in height and each building is one story.
All buildings are well within the maximum 45-foot requirement imposed in I-2 zoning
districts.
Landscaping. Section 1000. 7 outlines the landscaping and screening required for
commercial and industrial lots. The landscaping plan that has been submitted, shows
only the seeding plan with no shrubs or trees proposed. Base on our review of the site
and submitted landscape plan we offer the following comments.
1. The site plan does a good job of using the garage type storage building to
screen the interior outdoor storage area. Additional shrub or tree plantings are
needed along the west and south fences and between the garage type storage
buildings to screen the interior activity areas of the site.
2. Based on our review of the exterior building materials, Staff recommends the
addition of tree or shrub clusters (3 to 5 plants) at 50-foot intervals along the
perimeter of each building to break up the building mass.
3. The seeding plan shows the same seed mix for the lawn area and around the
drainage ponds. The Landscape plan notes reference MNDOT Mix 33-261
Agenda Page 28
8
which is an acceptable storm pond seed mix. The seeding plan must be revised
to reflect the appropriate seed mix around the ponds and its rate of application.
Lighting. The lighting plan shows a total of 45 total exterior light fixtures on site. 40 wall
mounted light fixtures, all installed at 9 feet above the ground.
Five free standing light poles are located withing the outdoor storage area. These lights
are mounted at 30 feet above the ground, compliant with the code. The light fixtures are
all angled at the proper 90 degree cut off angle which is compliant with code. The
lighting levels across the site are all compliant with code standards.
Signage. The building elevations show wall signs above the entrance of building H, east
side, and on the street side of building E, south side. The number and location of signs
on these buildings meet code. For building H’s sign the width of the sign is 74 feet and 8
inches, the height of the sign is 1 foot 6 inches, for a total of 112 square feet and the
base of the sign will be 10 feet 6 inches off the ground. Building E’s sign will be 60 feet
wide, 2 feet tall, for a total of 120 square feet, and will be 8 feet 6 inches off the ground.
These signs do not exceed 10% of the wall area. There is no specification for the
material or illumination of the signs yet. All proposed signs shall be subject to the
issuance of a separate sign permit.
Security. Currently there is no details provide as to site security. Staff recommends the
applicant provide details on the proposed fence, gates, and security elements, (i.e., key
cards, gates, cameras, lighting etc.) that will address site access and security when the
office is not occupied.
Storage Restrictions. In approving the self-storage facility Staff recommends the
following restrictions on the type of storage and uses within the approved facility. The
applicant shall provide their standard lease agreement that outlines these prohibitions
for the City approval.
1. Prohibited storage
a. Explosives
b. Hazardous / toxic materials
c. Flammable materials
d. Materials that are subject to spoilage or deterioration.
2. Prohibited uses of the storage bays.
a. Residential living unit.
b. Housing of animals
c. Conducting a business
d. Manufacturing or assembly of a products
Grading, Drainage, and Utilities. Grading, drainage, and utilities plans shall be subject to
final review and approval by the City Engineer.
Agenda Page 29

Snow Storage. As a condition of PUD approval, the applicants must address the
management of snow storage upon the subject site. The applicant may choose to
provide gates at locations in the fence to allow for snow removal and storage outside
the fenced areas of the lot.
Fire Safety. There must be the inclusion of a fire hydrant at the northwest corner of
Building H. The alleys of Buildings B, C, and H may need to be widened for accessibility
and turning ability of fire trucks.
CONCLUSION
Based on our review of the application and the submitted plan sets offer the following
recommendations.
Zoning Map Amendment
Staff recommends approval of the zoning map amendment changing the area zoning
from B-2A to PUD/ I-2 based on the following findings.
1. The City’s 2030 Visioning Study identifies a demand for industrial use expansion
in the area.
2. The subject site offers access to major roadways, Labeaux Ave NE and 70th St
NE which can accommodate the industrial users and related truck traffic.
3. As a requirement of site plan review, compatibility issues will be addressed
through screening, setbacks, building location and site design.
4. The proposed land uses will not overburden City utilities and sewer capacity.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
August 15, 2022
SUBJECT: PLANNING – PUBLIC HEARING – PARTICLE CONTROL – INDUSTRIAL
DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution No. 2022-28, and Ordinance No. 2022-13 addressing the
following development applications for Particle Control to expand their industrial facility in the
City of Albertville.
BACKGROUND: Particle Control has requested the approval of a number of development
applications associated with the proposed construction of a 24,000 sq. ft. warehouse expansion at
their site at 6062 Lambert Avenue in Albertville.
To facilitate the development proposal, approval of the following development applications have
been formally requested:
1. Zoning Map Amendment. To change the zoning of the subject property from B-3,
Highway Commercial District to Particle Control PUD / B-3 district. This expands the
Particle Control PUD/B-3 zoning district over newly acquired lots adjoining their
current site.
2. Preliminary Plat/ Final Plat. To combine all the Particle Control property into one lot.
3. Street Vacation. Vacation of portions of Lamont Avenue and Second Street to allow the
combination of the Particle Control properties into one lot.
4. PUD Site and Building Plan Review. Review of site and building plans is required for
all new industrial construction.
City Staff has reviewed the aforementioned applications and submission materials and prepared
the August 5, 2022, Planning Report.
The Albertville Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the development
application and staff reports on August 10, 2022. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, the
Planning Commission recommended approval of each of the development applications with the
conditions outlined in attached resolution.
KEY ISSUES:
• In 2011, the City of Albertville changed the zoning on the Particle Control site from B-3
Highway Commercial District to PUD/B-3 district to allow the Particle Control

making the zoning change the City recognized Particle Control as a valued, clean,
manufacturing business that the City want to retain and grow within the Community.
• Particle Control has now purchased two vacate lots to the east of their current site to
construct a warehouse expansion for their growing business. A zoning change over these
newly acquired lot in needed to allow the industrial expansion.
• The proposed land use is industrial in nature and will be compatible with the adjoining
Particle Control industrial development. The orientation of the proposed building and
site use to the north will buffer the single-family homes to the south.
• The expanded industrial use will not burden City utilities or services. Anticipated traffic
from the new warehouse will be oriented to County Road 37 away from the residential
uses to the south. The type and volume of traffic from the warehouse is within the
capacity of the available streets.
• Lamont Avenue and Second Street are unimproved local street rights-of-way. The
vacation of a portion of Lamont Avenue is needed to allow the building expansion. A
portion of Lamont Avenue and 2nd Street Right-of-way cannot be vacated to preserve
street access to the lot east of the Particle Control lot.

RE: Albertville – Particle Control PUD / Building Expansion
FILE NO: 163.06 – 22.04
BACKGROUND
In 2011, the City of Albertville changed the zoning on the Particle Control site from B-3
Highway Commercial District to PUD / B-3 district to allow the Particle Control Industrial
uses within this zoning district and to allow the business to grow on-site. In making the
zoning change the City recognized Particle Control as a valued, clean, manufacturing
business that the City want to retain and grow within the Community.
Particle Control has now purchased two vacate lots to the east of their current site to
construct a warehouse expansion for their growing business. To accommodate this
expansion, they have requested the following development applications:
1.) Zoning Map Amendment. To change the zoning covering the two newly purchased
lot from B-3 Highway Commercial District to PUD / B-3 Highway Commercial District.
The change in zoning is needed to allow for the expansion of the Particle Control
industrial use.
2.) Preliminary Plat/ Final Plat. To combine all the Particle Control property into one lot.
3.) Street Vacation. Vacation of portions of Lamont Avenue and Second Street to allow
the combination of the Particle Control properties into one lot.
3.) PUD Site and Building Plan Review. Review of site and building plans is required for
all new industrial construction.

ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Zoning Map Amendments
Section 300.1F of the Albertville Zoning Code outlines the following criteria for
evaluating a Plan amendment or a zoning change:
1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific
policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the
official City Comprehensive Plan.
Comment: The requested change in zoning form B-3 Highway Commercial
District to PUD / B-3 is consistent with Albertville’s goals and policies of the City’s
2030 Vision Study. This promotes the growth of a valued industrial use in this
area of the city.
2. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained
herein.
Comment: Rezoning the subject site to PUD / B-3 will subject to all the
performance standards established in the 2011 Particle Control PUD / B-3 zoning
district. Greater detail of zoning compliance will be demonstrated through the site
plan review.
3. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it
is proposed.
Comment: Rezoning of the subject site will change the type of allowed uses in
this area of the city. The land use and zoning is consistent with the City’s 2011
zoning actions to memorialize the Particle Control industrial use and allowing for
the business expansion.
Agenda Page 61
3
4. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and
will not overburden the city’s service capacity.
Comment: Public sewer and water and other utilities exist in this area. The
available municipal utilities in this area of the City have the size and capacity to
accommodate the change to industrial land use and zoning. The connection to
the utilities will be evaluated with the site plan proposals that have been
submitted.
5. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within the capabilities of streets
serving the property.
Comment: The proposed warehouse expansion will take access via County
Road 37. This roadway can handle the amount of traffic generated by the
proposed use. Any access to a County Road is subject to a County access
permit.
A change of zoning remains a policy decision of the Planning Commission and the City
Council. However, City Staff would recommend supporting the land use and zoning
change based on the following findings.
1. The City’s 2030 Visioning Study allow for expansion this industrial use in the area
of the City.
2. The subject site will take access from County Road 37 which can accommodate
the anticipated traffic.
3. As a requirement of site plan review, compatibility issues will be addressed
through screening, setbacks, building location and site design.
4. The proposed land uses will not overburden City utilities and sewer capacity.
Street Vacation
The applicant has requested the City vacate portions of Lamont Ave NE and Second
Street. In review of the requested vacation, we offer the following finding and
conditions.
1. That portion of Lamont Avenue NE lying between Lot 6 Block A and lot 10 Block
B of the Townsite of Hamburg is unimproved, contains no utilities and will not
limit access to other adjoining properties. Staff recommend the vacation of this
Street Right-of-Way.
2. The portions of Lamont Avenue NE and Second Street lying north of Blocks A
and B to the Townsite of Hamburg provide street right-of-way frontage to Lot 8
Agenda Page 62
4
Block A of the Townsite of Hamburg which is outside of the project area. This
portion of the street Right-of-Way cannot be vacated at this time.
3. Lamont Avenue and Second Street rights of way lying north of Block A of the
Townsite of Hamburg may still be included in the development project with the
following conditions.
a. The Particle Control shall enter into a right-of-way encroachment
agreement prepared by the City Attorney grant the right to make private
improvements within the City right-of-way.
b. The Particle Control grant right of access over the City right-of-way to the
property owner of Lot 8, Block A Townsite of Hamburg of allow access to
this lot over the private improvements within the City right-of-way
Preliminary / Final Plat
Streets. The plat abuts County Road 37. Any plat abutting a county right-of-way shall
be subject to County review and approval. Site access via the County Road is subject
to County approval. The developer shall be responsible for any required County Road
improvements (i.e. turn lanes, bypass lanes) required to allow for the new construction.
Lots. As indicated, the preliminary plat combines all the Particle Control properties into
one lot and Block description. The preliminary plat identifies the lot area to be 3.64
acres including the vacated proposed vacated street rights-of-way. Both the preliminary
plat and final plat must be revised to remove those portions of the Lamont Avenue and
2nd Street that will not be vacated.
Easements: The final plat illustrates property line easements complying with the
required 10-foot drainage and utility easement along all lot lines.
The grading plan, drainage plan and utility plan shall be subject to the review and
approval of the City Engineer. The City Engineer shall review and approve the size,
configuration, and location of all required easements.
Development Agreement. With the approval of the final plat the Applicant shall enter
into a development agreement with the city which will address the required public
improvements and site development per the approved plans.
Site and Building Plan Review
Site Access and Circulation. The site subject is proposed to be accessed from County
Road 30. These access points are subject to the approval of Wright County. In review
of the access and circulation patterns within the site we offer the following comments.
Agenda Page 63
5
1. The proposed curb cuts at the property line are 30 and 31.8 feet in width. By City
Code the maximum curb cut width is 24 feet unless otherwise approved by the
City Engineer. The City Engineer has reviewed the proposed curb cuts and
approves the requested widths.
2. All operations are on the north side of the propose building, using the building to
screen the traffic and outdoor operations from the homes to the south.
3. The area north of the building is intended to accommodate truck shipping and
receiving and 5 parking stalls. In examining the truck movements in this area, we
offer the following recommendations.
a. Relocate the parking stalls from this area to the west side of the building to
have the area north of the warehouse exclusive for truck maneuvering.
b. The depth of the warehouse is 150 feet, a shallower building design (120
or 130 feet) will provide additional on-site area for semi-truck and trailer
maneuvering.
c. Backing into the site from County Road 37 shall be prohibited.
Setbacks. The table below, the building setback proposed on Lot 1 in comparison with
the applicable PUD /B-3 District Setback requirements.
Required Closest Proposed
Front (North) 35 Feet 27 Feet
Back (South) 20 Feet 14.5 Feet
Side (East) 20 Feet 10 Feet
As illustrate above the proposed warehouse building fails to meet the required setbacks
established in the 2011 PUD / B-3 District approved for the Particle Control site. In
review of the site plan and building setbacks we offer the following recommendations.
1. Reduce the building depth to meet or exceed the required 35-foot setback from
the County Road 37 right-of-way. This will bring the building into compliance with
the required setback and improved on-site truck movements.
2. The rear yard setback is 14,5 feet from south property line. The new building
aligns with the existing building to the east. Staff is concerned having a 24-foot-
high wall running 180 feet in length in close proximity to the single-family homes
to the south. The City may require compliance with the 20 foot setback or the
City may approve the 14.5 foot setback as a PUD flexibility provided the
applicant provide some tree or shrub clusters (3 to 5 plants) at 50 intervals to
break up the building mass.
Agenda Page 64
6
3. The side yard setback is 10 feet from the east lot line. This holds the same
concern as the rear yard setback and may be treated in the same manner.
Off-Street Parking: The site plan does not provide a parking layout for the entire site.
The applicant shall provide a breakdown of uses within the building (office, production,
warehousing, locker rooms, etc.) and provide a parking count that demonstrates that
adequate parking is available for the size and type of uses within the building. A
reduction in the required parking may be allowed if actual employee counts and work
shifts are less than the required parking count.
The parking stalls shown on the site plan north of the new warehouse shall be relocated
to west side of the existing building.
All new driveways, and loading areas shall have perimeter concrete curbing, paved
surfacing.
Trash Handling. The site plan does not illustrate the location of trash handling
equipment. The plans must be revised to identify the locations trash handling equipment
either within the buildings or outdoor trash enclosures. The locations must be
convenient to the various buildings and accessible to trash haulers. Details on any
outdoor trash enclosures must be provided for city approval.
Building Materials. The Building Elevations show the exterior building treatments for
each of the buildings. Through the approved PUD / B-3 District, the Particle Control
industrial buildings may have a metal exterior finish provided the color of any new
building or structure matches the color and design of the principal building on the site.
The building elevations match the current buildings in design and color.
Building Layout. Exhibit I illustrates the proposed floor layout of the new warehouse
facility in review of the building floor plans Staff offers the following comments.
1. The building shall have fire suppression, the sprinkler room is located at the north
side of the building. Water service to the building shall have separate service
lines for fire suppression and potable water as it enters the building.
2. The floor plan and building elevation shows a man door on the south building
wall for fire exiting. The site plan must provide a landing outside of the door and
an exit path for this door. The landing and exit path must be kept clear of snow
and other debris to ensure passage at all times.
Mechanical Equipment. The Applicant shall provide revised site and building plans
illustrating the location and screening of any ground mounted or rooftop mechanical
equipment.
Agenda Page 65
7
Building Height. The proposed buildings 24 feet in height and each building is one story.
All buildings are well within the maximum 35-foot requirement imposed in the PUD/ B-3
zoning district.
Landscaping. Section 1000. 7 outlines the landscaping and screening required for
commercial and industrial lots. Based on our review of the site plan we offer the
following comments.
1. The site plan does a good job of using the storage building to screen the
outdoor activities to the north of the buildings from the homes to the south.
2. Based on our review of the building size, its exterior materials and reduced
setbacks, Staff recommends the addition of tree or shrub clusters (3 to 5 plants)
at 50-foot intervals along the perimeter of each building to break up the building
mass.
3. A landscaped hedge shall be required within the 10-foot green area between the
pavement and the County Road 37 right-of-way to screen loading areas.
.
Lighting. An exterior lighting and photometric plan shall be provided prior to building
permit showing the location and design of all outdoor light fixtures and light levels
across the site. All exterior light fixtures shall have a 90-degree cut off and shielded light
source to prevent nuisance glare to surrounding properties and streets.
Grading, Drainage, and Utilities. Grading, drainage, and utilities plans shall be subject to
final review and approval by the City Engineer.
Snow Storage. The site plan shows building and pavement covering most of the new
development site. As a condition of approval, the applicants must address snow
removal and storage upon the subject site.
CONCLUSION
Based on our review of the applications and the submitted plan sets offer the following
recommendations.
Zoning Map Amendment
Staff recommends approval of the zoning map amendment expanding the Particle
Control PUD / B-3 zoning district to include all the land in the new plat based on the
