PLANNING REPORT
TO: Eric Johnson
FROM: Scott Richards
DATE: March 3, 2022
RE: Oak Park Heights— Minnehaha Transportation Inc. Conditional
Use Permit for Storage of Trucks— 5280/5288 Stagecoach Trail
North
TPC FILE: 236.02 — 22.01
BACKGROUND
Indiris Mohamud has made application for use of the site at 5280/5288 Stagecoach Trail
North for outdoor storage of trucks and truck repair. The application consists of a
request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the outdoor storage of trucks. The
property has been used as a bus garage with outdoor storage of school buses. No
exterior changes to the site or building are proposed with this request.
The site is zoned I Industrial District. General vehicle repair is a permitted use, but the
outdoor storage of trucks is a listed Conditional Use. In September of 2019, the City
Council approved a request for the outdoor storage of trucks at the site. That
Conditional Use Permit was allowed to expire. A Conditional Use Permit for the outdoor
storage of school buses was approved in August of 2020. School buses were stored
there until another location was found for bus storage.
The request for the outdoor storage of trucks is an identical request to what was granted
in 2019.

Transportation Inc.'s (Minnehaha) application for a conditional use permit (CUP) at
5280/5288 Stagecoach Trail N located in the I Industrial District. Minnehaha proposes
to use with 900% of the same use conditions as the previous CUP. Minnehaha is

Please see Exhibit 2 for out previous narrative."
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The property is designated as Residential/Business Transitional
on the Proposed Land Use Map. This land use has been designated for this area to
accommodate a potential future land use change.
Zoning. The property is zoned I Industrial District. General vehicle repair (repair
garage) and body work and painting are permitted uses in that district. Open and
outdoor storage is a Conditional Use. Review of the criteria for the Conditional Use
Permit is found later in this report.
Surrounding Uses. The adjoining uses to this site are:
• North —Vacant Lot/Single Family Residential
• South —Single Family Residential
• East— Minnesota Correctional Facility Stillwater
• West— Perro Pond
Setbacks. There are no changes planned onsite to the parking areas and buildings.
The parking areas are setback from the property lines, with berms and planted with an
evergreen barrier.

access to Stagecoach Trail North. A security gate has been installed at the entrance to
the site. A rapid entry lock box has been installed to provide police, fire and other
emergency services access.

Hours of Operation. The Applicant has proposed that the facility be open from 6 AM to
9 PM Monday through Friday, and 8 AM to 6 PM on the weekends.
Parking. Parking requirements for truck storage facilities are not outlined in the Zoning
Ordinance. The submitted site plan indicates a total of 112 truck parking spaces and
113 car spaces. With a maximum of 75 to 80 trucks at a time, there will be adequate
parking. The bus facility was permitted to a maximum of 100 buses, with no major
parking issues noted in recent years. Adequate circulation for fuel deliveries and truck
traffic is provided on site.
Trash Enclosure/Tire Storage. All trash, recycling and tire storage shall be fully
screened.
Environmental. The previous Conditional Use Permit required the submittal and
approval of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan by the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA). The Applicant should verify that that permit is in place with the
MPCA. A Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan (SPCC) is required for
any facility with above ground site storage facilities for petroleum exceeding 1,320
gallons.
Body Shop. The Applicant has indicated that a body shop with a paint booth will be
added as part of the truck repair operations. A paint booth had previously been
installed but is not operational. Any ventilation or other requirements for the body shop
and paint booth will need to be addressed and permitted by the City.
Grading/Drainage/Utilities. With previous addition of curb, gutter, and adequate
stormwater drainage facilities, there are no issues with the truck storage areas. The
City Engineer shall approve any changes, if proposed, to the stormwater for the site.
Landscaping. As part of the previous bus garage Conditional Use Permit, the
perimeter of the site was landscaped, and a berm installed to address screening issues.
The City Arborist should review the trees and the screening and determine if any
additions or maintenance should be done.
Mechanical Screening. Any new exterior mechanical equipment, either on the roof or
ground mounted will need to be screened in accordance with Section 401.15.E.10.e. of
the Zoning Ordinance.
Signage.

with the Zoning Ordinance sign requirements.
Sian Illumination. All existing and new signs will be required to comply with the Zoning
Ordinance sign lighting requirements. Staff will approve the lighting specifications for
the signs at the time of permitting.
3
Page 16 of 58
Lighting. The lighting for the site shall- be required to meet all Zoning Ordinance
standards including full cut off fixtures. Any lighting that is not currently compliant shall
be updated. Updates to the lighting will require City review and installed in compliance
with the lighting standards of the Zoning Ordinance.
Outdoor lighting for parking lots shall be turned off one hour after closing, except for
approved security lighting.
Noise. in 1999, when the bus garage was first approved, there was considerable
concern related to adding of buses and back up warning systems. As a result,
conditions related to all buses being backed into their respective spots at the end of the
day and requiring block heaters and heater plugs was required. The Applicant shall
address if the block heaters would be used and address any anticipated noise issues.
Design Guidelines. There are no changes to the building proposed at this time. Any
exterior changes that require Design Standards review will need to be addressed by the
City.

Property Usage.
The facility will be designed to meet the needs of independent truckers in the Twin Cities metro area.
When trucks are not operating on the road the owner need a place to park and serve them.our
business will cater to those needs.The facility would park around 75-80 trucks at a time.
Trucks stored and serviced will be semi-trucks:primarily dry goods haulers and car carrier haulers.
The attached diagram shows how we anticipate the layout for the location.There will be parking spaces
for semi-trucks.parking for employees and customers and the existing buildings on site,
The primary working operation will be a mechanics shop to do engine and mechanical repair to the
trucks on site. No other type of business operations are planned.
We would also like to have a body shop In the adjacent building if local permitting permits.
In addition,one of the building would be used as an office for scheduling and administrative needs.
We are not planning to construct any additional buildings or bdilties.
Fueling Illand,Above Ground Fuel Storagg
We are in the process of negotiating the purchase of the existing above ground fuel tank dispenser
currently being used by the school system. If we are unable to obtain the existing system,we plan to
replace it with a similar type and size system.
Per previously approved CUP application the location of the tank and fueling station have been chosen:
I. To be as far as possible from the property lines
2. To be on level ground
3. To be separate from each other for increased operational safety
4. To allow fueling island to be accessible from both sides reducing or eliminating idling or waiting
times.
MPCA rules will be hollowed regarding the registration of the above ground fuel tanks. '
Hers of Operation
overall hours of operation:g:OO AM to 9=PM Monday through Friday,and 8:OOAM to 6:OOPM on
Saturday and Sunday.
Because of the nature of the business there will be a minimum of traffic in and out since the ffaciiity is
designed to park and repair. We do not anticipate any truck vehicles accessing the site after business
hours.

they have grown in size. They provide sufficient screening as viewed from the adjacent properties on
the north,south,east and west.
Applicant hopes and plans to have a good and respectful relationship with the surrounding neighbors

Request for Council Action
Meeting Date March 22"d, 2022
Time Required: 3 Minutes
Agenda Item Title: _Changes in ARPA Allocations—Treasury Guidance
Agenda Placement New Business
Originating Department/Requestor Betty Caruso, Finance Director
Requester's Signature
Action Requested Discussion, Possible Action
Background/Justification (Please indicate if any previous action has been taken, or if other public
bodies have advised):
On January 6,2022 the Treasury issued the Final Rule for ARPA State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds
which clarified and significantly expanded the use of funds. This rule will take effect on April 1,2022.
The City on June 22,2021 adopted Resolution 21-06-21,A Resolution to accept the Coronavirus Local
Fiscal Recovery Fund Established under the American Rescue Plan. This resolution contained a proposed
budget for the expenditure of the expected funds of$525,315 based on the Interim Final Rule restrictions,
which was a use under the Investment in Necessary Water, Sewer and Broadband Category.
The changes made in the ARPA Final Rules allows the City to utilize ARPA funds based on the Loss of
Public Sector Revenue Category,which provides funding for"general government services".
Based on the changes and due to the needs that the City faces regarding street reconstruction and
maintenance,the budget amount referred to in paragraph 3.e in Resolution 21-06-21 should be amended
to remove the amount estimated for the City Water Utility Improvement and budgeted as the estimated
$499,738 of undesignated ARPA funds to be utilized to provide government services.
This amendment must be made prior to April 1,2022 in order to be in compliance with the Final
Rules as issued. The enclosed Resolution includes the needed language.
