FROM: Scott Richards
DATE: May 8, 2013
RE: Oak Park Heights-Xcel Energy,A.S. King Plant/MnDOT: Dock,
Barge Loading Facilities, Office Space and Other Operations
-Conditional Use Permit Amendment/Interim Use Permit
FILE NO: 236.02- 13.03
BACKGROUND
Nick Ruba, of Edward Kraemer and Sons, Inc. (Edward Kraemer) has made application
for an amended Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Interim Use Permit to allow for
staging operations related to construction of the St Croix River Crossing on Xcel Energy
property. The project will consist of installing a dock wall area at the existing Xcel boat
landing, improvements to the access road to the boat landing, a temporary field office,
storage facilities, dumpsters and fuel storage. The boat landing and the location of the
field office is north of the Allen S. King Generating Plant. The plant is located at 1103
King Plant Road and is adjacent to the St. Croix River. Xcel Energy has agreed to the
use of their property for the operations by Edward Kraemer.
The property is zoned I, Industrial District in which this type of staging and water access
operation would require a CUP and Interim Use Permit. The property is also in a River
Impact District which required the original CUP for the Allen S. King Plant and the
subsequent amendments that have allowed the plant to expand.
Attached for reference:
Exhibit 1: Laydown/Staging Plan,April 8, 2013.

Exhibit 3: Pictures of Barge Staging Area
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Project D.escription. The description of the operations proposed by Edward Kraemer
is found in detail in Exhibit 1. Excerpts from that description are as follows:
"The Xcel Energy Access Point is located south of the future bridge site. This area
consists of a few different parts. The first is the dock wall area which is detailed in the
Water Access Plan. In addition to those details, Kraemer will have a crane in this area
to facilitate the loading and unloading of barges and trucks, The crane is inspected
daily and will be maintained in good working condition. A spill kit will also be stored In
this area in the event that it is needed Depending upon the amount of room available
an 8 foot x 20 foot cortex (intermodal container for storage) may be positioned here to
store small tools at the end of the shift rather than leaving them on the barge where
theft could easily take place.
The second part is the access road from the Xoel laydown area up to the dock wall.
This access road will be lined on each side with super duty silt fence from the current
gate location up to the dock wall. This will protect the wetlands on the north and south
side, Wetland "Q"and Wetland Xcel Pond"respectively. If the access road needs to
have limbs trimmed to accommodate the movement of equipment, a qualified arborist
will facilitate the process. Depending on the condition of the access road, some class 5
or similar material will be added between the super duty silt fence to help improve the
road We plan on installing a tracking pad at the end of the access road where the gate
is currently located. Either mulch or crushed rock will be used.
The next part of this area is the Xcel laydown area which currently consists of a 'parking
lot"and a fenced in yard. Kraemer has been in communication with Xcel and working
on an agreement to use part of their fenced in yard Once the agreed upon area is set,
we will install a temporary fence to help protect any material that Xcel currently has in
their yard. This fence will then be removed upon completion of the project.
This area will contain a field office (roughly 12 feet x 80 feet) for the superintendent,
engineers, and safety personnel. There will be at least Iwo 8 feet x 20 feet conex boxes
used to store extra BMP's and safety material A por e.jon will be positioned by the
office trailer and staked down. We will have a roll off dumpster here to collect and
waste that is produced. Kraemer will have a small fuel tank (400-500 gallons) that is
double lined and will be placed on poly with a perimeter control. A signed and lined
concrete washout pit will be in this area only for the concrete pump to wash out at. This
pit will be monitored and cleaned out when the need arises. All of the concrete trucks
will wash out at their concrete facilities. The majority of the employees will park in this
area and we will meet with the local fire department to ensure they have enough room
and the proper radii to drive through the area. Other equipment and material may be
stored here and the Superintendent and Environmental Compliance Manager will
ensure that it is stored correctly. If extra rock material is staged at this location for
maintenance of the road a perimeter control will be provided via mobile filter logs."
2
Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as industrial
land use. The proposed use of the property for a boat landing and construction staging
area is recognized as industrial land use consistent with the maps and policies of the
plan.
Zoning Ordinance. The site is zoned I, Industrial District in which power plants and
boat landings are a permitted use The amended CUP is required to allow the
expanded use of the boat landing area and the property for construction staging in the
River Impact District. The operations of Edward Kraemer would be considered as an
Interim Use As such, conditions can be placed on the operation, including a limited
time period of operation for this location. It is suggested that the Interim use be allowed
until November 30, 2014. Section 401.05.Administration- Interim Use Permits outlines
the allowances and criteria for uses that are to be located on a property for a limited
time period.
Access. The project narrative provides the following related to access for the
operations:
"The Xcel dock wall will be accessed off of TH 95 using the same access mad that the
wastewater treatment facility uses, or 59"' Street North. We are proposing to widen out
the road and extend the railroad crossing as shown on the map in the appendix. This
will facilitate the delivery of materials including rebar trucks and 90 foot casing sections
for the river piers. The current configuration makes it extremely difficult for a full size
tractor trailer to maneuver the corner. The trucks will then cross the Union Pacific
railroad tracks and follow the gravel road to the Xcel parking lot. The current conditions
of the road have been documented prior to any construction by a third party. Once our
contract for the river foundations Is complete the corner can be restored to its original
condition unless the City or MnDOT directs us to leave it as is for the other contracts
associated with the construction of the bridge."
Parking and Traffic. The City Engineer shall review the access plan and make any
recommendations regarding access and traffic. A parking area plan shall be provided to
the City Engineer for review and approval.
Lighting. The facility is not proposed to be lit. Any new lighting of the site will need to
be in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and subject to review and approval of City
staff.
Trees/Screening. The pictures taken last fall of the site and attached indicate that the
area surrounding the site is heavily wooded. There are no other uses or properties that
are impacted by this request, so additional screening is not required. The applicant
should position equipment to be stored on the property in such as way as it is less
visible from the river.
Grading and Drainage. Any grading and drainage issues shall be addressed subject
to review and approval of the City Engineer and the applicable watershed district.

•`ti
• a
Department of Natural Resources. The Department of Natural Resources(DNR)has
been notified of the request. Molly Shodeen, the Area Hydrologist, has indicated that
the DNR has signed off on the requested project,
Design Guidelines. There are no buildings proposed for the operations other than the
temporary office structure. In that the building will be temporary, similar to the office
trailers approved for Xcel Energy in the past, compliance with Design Guidelines is not
required.
Conditional Use Permit — River Impact District. The use of the boat landing as a
barge staging area is subject to an amended CUP under the River Impact District. The
Planning Commission should consider the conformity, environmental issues and
impacts of the proposed project in making its recommendation. The conditional use
permit criteria, found in Section 401.03.A.7 of the Zoning Ordinance, are found as
follows:
1. Relationship to the specific policies and provisions of the municipal comprehensive plan.
2. The conformity with present and future land uses in the area.
a The environmental issues and geographic area involved
4. Whether the use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed
5. The impact on character of the surrounding area.
6. The demonstrated need for such use.
7. Traffic generation by the use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the property.
a The impact upon existing public services and facilities Including parks, schools, streets,
and utilities, and the City's service capacity.
9. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained herein {i.e.,
parking, loading, noise, etc.).
Due to the location of the boat landing and the construction staging area in an industrial
area, and the fact that it has been used as a landing for a number of years, City Staff
recognizes no issue with the expanded use on a temporary basis. The Edward
Kraemer operations will also be subject to an Interim Use in which specific conditions
will be placed on its operation.
Interim Use.
Section 401.05.0 of the Interim Use Permit Section specifies a number of criteria for the
review and approval of a use. A review of those criteria are as follows:
2. New Uses.
a. Conforms to all zoning regulations as otherwise applicable.
The use will be required to comply with all other Zoning Ordinance performance
and use standards.
4
__ II
•4
.
b. The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty.
The use will be allowed to continue until November 30, 2014, unless a timeline
extension is granted by the City Council.
c. The existence of the use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is
necessary for the public to take the property in the future.
There should be no issues with public costs.
d. The user agrees to any conditions that the City Council deems appropriate for
permission of the use.
The applicant will be required to agree to the conditions in writing.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

LA YDOWN/STAGING PLAN
KRAEMER
Doc.No.: Rev.0 0329.13 Page 3 of 6
Introduction
Edward Kraemer and Sons, Inc. (Kraemer) is pleased to present our Laydown/Staging
Plan. This is our tentative plan on how we anticipate the layout to be. The actual
location of items may vary throughout the project depending on the timing and the
functionality. The plan will also identify some BMP's that Kraemer will be using to help
minimize any impacts to the St. Croix River or the surrounding area At this time we do
not anticipate any clearing and grubbing of areas to create a laydown/staging area.
Staging Areas
For this project Kraemer plans to utilize two separate areas for laydown and staging.
The areas are shown in the attached diagrams with a general idea of the layout. These
include:
1) Xcel Energy Access Point
2) Stillwater Municipal Barge Facility
The Xcel Energy Access Point is located south of the future bridge site. This area
consists of a few different parts. The first is the dock wall area which is detailed in the
Water Access Plan. In addition to those details Kraemer will have a crane in this area
to facilitate the loading and unloading of barges and trucks. The crane is inspected
daily and will be maintained in good working condition. A spill kit will also be stored in
this area in the event that it is needed. Depending on the amount of room available an
8' x 20' conex may be positioned here to store small tools at the end of shift rather than
leaving them on the barge where theft could easily take place.
The second part is the access road from the Xcel laydown area up to the dock wall.
This access road will be lined on each side with super duty silt fence from the current
gate location up to the dock wall. This will protect the wetlands on the north and south
side, Wetland Q forested and Wetland Xcel Pond respectively. If the access road
needs to have tree limbs trimmed to accommodate the movement of equipment a
qualified arborist will facilitate the process. Depending on the condition of the access
road some class 5 or similar material will be added between the super duty silt fence to

help improve the road. We plan on installing a tracking pad at the end of the access
road where the gate is currently located. Either mulch or crushed rock will be used.
The next part of this area is the Xcel laydown area which currently consists of a'parking
lot" and a fenced in yard. Kraemer has been in communication with Xcel and working
on an agreement to use part of their fenced in yard. Once the agreed upon area is set,
we install a temporary fence to help protect any material that Xcel currently has in their
yard. This fence will then be removed upon completion of the project.
This area will contain a field office (roughly 12' x 80') for the superintendent, engineers,
and safety personnel. There will be at [(mat two 8' x 20' conex boxes used to store
extra BMP's and safety material. A porta-jon will be positioned by the office trailer and
staked down. We will have a roll off dumpster here to collect any waste that is
produced. Kraemer will have a small-fuel tank (400-500 gallons) that is double lined
and will be placed on poly with a perimeter control. A signed and lined concrete
washout pit will be in this area only for the concrete pump to wash out at This pit will
be monitored and cleaned out when the need ariSes. All of the concrete trucks will
wash out at their concrete facilities. The majority of the employees will park in this area
and we will meet with the local fire department to ensure they have enough room and
the proper radii to drive through the area Other equipment and material may be stored
here and the Superintendent and Environmental Compliance Manager will ensure that it
is stored correctly. If extra rock material is staged at this location for maintenance of the
road a perimeter control will be provided via mobile fitter logs.
The Xcel dock wall will be accessed off of TH 95 using the same access road that the
wastewater treatment facility uses, or 59th Street North. We are proposing to widen out
the road and extend the railroad crossing as shown on the map in the appendix. This
will facilitate the delivery of materials including rebar trucks and 90' casing sections for
the river piers. The current configuration makes it extremely difficult for a full size
tractor trailer to maneuver the corner. The trucks will then cross the Union Pacific
railroad tracks and follow the gravel road to the south to the Xcel parking lot. The
current conditions of the road have been documented prior to any construction by a
third party. Once our contract for the river foundations is complete the corner,can be

will be accessed off of TH 95 and.Kraemer is proposing to widen the north corner of the
gated road as it veers to the north towards the Barge Facility,see attached plan sheets
showing the limits. This work would include the relocation of the current gate and the
removal of about a dozen trees. The area would then be filled with a compacted road
base suitable for supporting the truck traffic that is anticipated. if the electrical box
cannot be moved it would be protected with a concrete barrier.
This area will be adjacent to a smaller dock wall that Kraemer will construct and be used
for miscellaneous material that will be needed for the project (reference Water Access
Plan for details/location of the dock wail). The area may contain a conex box for
storage of small tools and supplies. A porta-jon will be positioned here and staked
down. There is potential that a small roll off dumpster will be placed here as well This
staging area will primarily contain formwork for the footings and columns and also may
be used as a place to off load rebar because of the congestion at the other dock wall
location. We will also use this area to set up the water treatment facility for turbid and
alkaline water. The facility win consist of two or three Rain for Rent tanks along with a
sand finer. These items are highlighted in the dewatering plan. Some of the drilled
shaft spoils will also be off loaded at this area. That process will involve the use of an
excavator. This work is planned to occur during the normal work day hours. The use of
BMP's, either silt fence, bio-rolls, or straw bales will be placed at the ends of the dock
wall and flared back to help filter any runoff into the St. Croix River. A spill kit will also
be positioned at this site along with storage of other BMP's. Depending on the condition
of the parking lot some class 5 or similar material will be added to help improve the road
conditions.

Kraemer plans to utilize the staging/iaydown areas outlined in this plan. The specific
iodations,of items may.be changed as we setup and as the project progresses through
different phases. The appropriate BMP's will be in place to help eliminate any
unwanted impact in the surrounding area and will be removed upon completion of the
contract or once stabilization has been achieved.
