SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CUP) - RYDER
Dear Mr. Melena:
Ryder Student Transportation Services is requesting an extension of an additional thirty
(30) days to the current conditional use permit (CUP) application for 5302 Stagecoach
Trail North as well as to postpone consideration of the matter before the Oak Park
Heights City Council scheduled for April 27, 1999.
While the Planning Commission voted in favor of recommending a conditional use permit
on Tuesday evening, April 15th, several new conditions were added at that time. Some of
these we would like the opportunity for further discussion with the City Council. We are
requesting an opportunity to appear before the Council at their May 4th work session.
We would also request the City Council decision be moved to the May 11, 1999 Council
meeting.
The conditions we are seeking further discussion and/or clarification are:
1. "All parking and storage areas shall be surfaced with bituminous material and
concrete curbing and storm water retention systems shall be installed before
commencement of operations by Ryder on the site."
2. "R nor et „ a °r* Ira ^ ° ^ ^.*� +:,,., go.�a ,,,r �..,I o it o * t /� �,

access permits required by the Washington County Department of Public
Works.”
3. `Block heaters and heater plugs shall be installed on all buses operated out of
the 5302 Stagecoach Trail North facility before commencement of operations
by Ryder."
4. "An operations plan shall be developed and enforced, subject to City Staff
review and approval, that all buses shall be backed into the respective parking
spaces at the end of a day's run."
5. "A plan for hours of operation shall be developed by Ryder subject to review
and approval of City Staff."
6. "The conditional use permit shall be subject to a review of the approval and all
conditions at the end of one year from the date of approval. Additional
reviews shall be determined by the City Council."
