ENCLOSURE 08 Backgroundaustification (Please indicate if any previous action has been taken or if other public bodies have advised): Mr. Russ Girtz of Xcel Energy has requested permission to site four (4) additional office trailers at the Alien S. King Plant . These additional trailers would be placed in.-line with the current office trailers (9), located just inside their main gate. (see attached maps) The current trailers are located there under an Interim Use Permit (401.05) and provide office space for the numerous staff involved for the MERP Project. . Xcel has complied with all required. parking parameters for the current trailers by providing 32 parking spaces adjacent to these current structures. This expansion eastwardly would take-up 10 of the current 32 parking spaces and would require an additional 15 spaces, with a new net total of 47. These spaces would be located as depicted on EXHIBIT 1. The current Interim Use Permit requires that the current trailers be removed by July 1 2009. A copy of the current Interim Use Permit is attached. The site is zoned (I) industrial, the expansion would not encroach into any required setbacks, and would not change the character or current use of the property. Considering these factors a new Interim Use Permit or formal Conditional Use Permit is not necessary. Accordingly, Staff views this expansion as a minor amendment and recommends that the expansion be permitted subject to the same requirements of the current Interim Use Permit as there are no anticipated negative economic, environmental or social impacts related to this expansion under their current Interim Use Permit. Mr. Girtz 's letter does also discuss the filling in of a swalelditch located west of the current trailers to provide additional parking in the future. This shall not be part of this Interim Use Amendment process as a separate Conditional Use Permit is required for such filling activities.

We request that the City amend the Conditional Use Permit to approve the addition of 4 trailers of similar construction to the original 9 trailers. The 4 new trailers will be set just to the east of the existing trailers in a space that is currently used as a parking area and will utilize all of the existing utility services. Since we will lose a large portion of the parking lot, we also plan to fill in a drainage ditch to the west of the existing trailers. Upon your agreement that we can proceed, we will obtain all necessary fill permits from the City. We have contacted Mr. Ben Meyer of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Assoc. to obtain a determination of the drainage area as related to the Wetlands Conservation Act. Mr. Meyer has approved an exemption for the area based on the determination that the area is an incidental wetlands. A copy of the determination is attached. We request approval of this activity on or before April 1, 2005. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
