Open and Outdoor Storage Conditional Use Permit for
Horticultural Services and School Bus Storage
Barbara Stephan of Stephan Stagecoach Property LLC at 5280 -5302 Stagecoach Trail
North has made an application for a conditional use permit to allow open and outdoor
storage of equipment and materials at their operation located at 5302 and 5296
Stagecoach Trail North. This is the site formerly occupied by First Student Inc. for
school bus storage and repair operations. The conditional use permit application has
also included the allowance for Stillwater Area Schools to lease a majority of the site
y
and the buildings at 5280 and 5288 to allow for exterior storage of buses. The previous
conditional use permit for outdoor bus storage for Ryder Student Transportation
Services that was approved in 1999 and amended in 2001 for First Student has now
expired.
The property is zoned 1, Industrial District. Open and outdoor storage is a listed
conditional use permit within that district. The landscape business and school bus
office /repair operations that are internal to the existing buildings are permitted uses in
this district.

Memo From City Arborist
Commercial Landscape Business. Horticulture Services LLC is a company
headquartered out of Scandia, Minnesota that provides commercial landscape services
including landscaping and irrigation maintenance, as well as seasonal color plantings.
The landscape business seeks to continue operations out of the buildings at 5302 and
5296 Stagecoach Trail North and to allow for the outdoor storage of equipment and
materials. The site plan, found as Exhibit 1, indicates the area of the site to be occupied
by the landscape business and where the materials are to be stored. The applicant has
indicated a desire to add a covered shed, behind 5302, that would provide salt storage
and pallets of bagged fertilizer. The applicant will need to clarify the proposed location
of this shed. The building plans and details of this shed would need to be approved by
City staff.
The application requests the conditional use permit to store the following landscape
maintenance equipment and materials outdoors:
O A maximum of nine 26 foot and four 14 foot landscape trailers
O A maximum of six trucks ( 2 ton size).
O A maximum of four skid steer loaders or landscape tractors.
O A maximum of six landscape implements such as rota-tillers, turf aerators, and brush
chippers to be stored to the west of the 5302 building.
O A maximum of three 9 foot snow plows (pickup truck size) to be stored to the west
of the 5302 building.
O A maximum of 12 pallets of bagged Lawn fertilizer or ice melt to be stored directly
behind (west) of the 5302 building. Bags will be palletized, unopened, and shrink
wrapped.
School Bus Operations /Storage. The site plan and narrative indicate that 5288 and.
5280 Stagecoach Trail North and a majority of the site would be occupied by a bus
transportation company that would sub-lease the space from the School District. The
bus company has not been identified at this time. The company would have offices and
conduct repair activities in the buildings. The current application requests permission to
park a maximum of 100 school buses outdoors. The previous conditional use permit
allowed for a maximum of 120 buses.
Above Ground/Outdoor Storage of Fuel. The applicant proposes to place an above
ground storage tank with a fueling island as indicated on the site plan. There would be
one 14,000 gallon tank containing diesel and gasoline. All Federal, State, County, and
Cit y requirements for storage and dispensing motor fuels would be complied with. The
Cit y shall require the applicant to screen the tank on all sides with a fence, to be
approved by the City, or bury the tank underground.

ISSUES ANALYSIS
Conditional Use Permit Criteria. The outside storage of landscape materials and
equipment, buses and fuel storage is a conditional use subject to conditions outlined in
Section 401.32.E.1 of the Zoning Ordinance:
a. The area is fenced and screened from view of neighboring residential uses or if
abutting a residential district in compliance with Section 401.15.E of the Zoning
Ordinance.
As part of the approvals in 1999, the applicant was required to provide additional
trees, especially on the south end of the site adjacent to Stagecoach Trail North.
Additionally, trees were required south of the Bell property. Staff observation of
the site indicates that there are gaps in the screening trees along Stagecoach
Trail, especially on the south end of the site. Additionally, some of the evergreen
trees on the north end of the site along Stagecoach Trail have died and will be
required to be removed and replaced. The applicant has provided a landscape
plan indicating the removal of trees and the trees to be replaced. All changes to
the landscaping shall be subject to review and approval of the City Arborist.
b. Storage is screened from the public right - of-way in compliance with Section
401.15.E of the Zoning Ordinance.
With replacement and the addition of additional trees in the berm along
Stagecoach Trail North, the site will be adequately screened from the public
right-of-way.
c. Storage area is grassed or surfaced to control dust.
The site was previously required to be paved and provided with curb and gutter
to address surface runoff.
d. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall not be
visible from the public right - of-way or from neighboring residences and shall be in
compliance with Section 401.15.B.7 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Previously, lighting was installed on site in compliance with requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance. If any additional lighting is added to the buildings or site, it
will need to be in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance.
e. The provisions of Section 40t.03.A.8 of the Zoning Ordinance are considered
and satisfactorily met.
Staff has reviewed the criteria and, based upon the fact that the bus operation
had previously occupied the site without major incident; the conditional use
permit should be considered for approval.
3
Environmental. The existing conditional use permit required the submittal and
approval of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan by the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA). That permit is in place and on file 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. Once installed (if
approved by the City), the plan is submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). The plan is reviewed and kept on file by the EPA. The MPCA wilt also require
submittal of a Notification for Above Ground Storage Tanks once the tank is installed.
The City will require the applicant to receive a building permit for the tank installation.
Trash Storage. The site plan indicates trash and recycling enclosures adjacent to
Buildings 5302 and 5280. The enclosures shall be constructed of cedar fencing with
doors. The proposed enclosures shall be adequate for this site.
Noise. In 1999, when the bus storage proposed was first discussed, there was
considerable concern related to adding of buses and the back up warning systems on
the buses. As a result, conditions related to requiring all buses to be backed into their
respective parking spaces at the end of the day and requiring block heaters and heater
plugs on all buses will again be required.
Hours of Operation. The project narrative, found in Exhibit C provides a detailed
summary of the hours of operation for the landscape maintenance contractor and the
bus contractor. The Planning Commission and City Council should review the proposed
hours and comment if any additional conditions shall be added to this approval.
Parking. Parking requirements for bus facilities and landscaping service businesses
are not outlined in the Zoning Ordinance. The submitted site plan indicates a total of
112 bus parking spaces and 113 car spaces. With a maximum of 100 buses proposed,
there is more than adequate space for both the landscape business and for bus storage
and bus driver parking. Adequate circulation for fuel deliveries and bus traffic is
provided on site. The plan indicates a common area that wilt be kept open for vehicle
circulation.
Grading and Drainage. With the previous addition of curb, gutter and adequate
stormwater drainage facilities, there are no issues with the landscape business or bus
operations. The City Engineer shall approve any changes, if proposed, to the
stormwater drainage for the site.
Landscaping and Signage. The parking lot lighting approved in 1999 has not
changed. One additional light is proposed at the outdoor fueling station. Alt existing
and proposed light shall be in conformance with the lighting standards as specified in
the Zoning Ordinance.

CONCLUSIONS /RECOMMENDATION
5
J
The outside storage of landscape equipment and materials and the outdoor storage of
buses proposed for this site generally satisfies the Zoning Ordinance criteria for such
uses. The subject site is planned and zoned for industrial uses. With addition of the
additional screening as proposed, the site is well buffered to adjacent properties. With
the conditions of approval, the proposed use should have a minimal impact to traffic,
noise, air quality, or other pollution issues. The conditional use permit for open and
outdoor storage is recommended with the following conditions:
1. The number of buses allowed on site at any one time shall not exceed 100.
2. Any plans for a covered shed to the rear of 5302 Stagecoach Trail North shall be
approved by City staff.
3. All employees dispensing fuel shall receive training for proper fueling techniques
including emergency spill response procedures.
4. The applicant shall submit a Notification for Above Ground Storage Tanks to the
MPCA once the tank has been installed.
5. The applicant shall submit a Spill Prevention and Control Countermeasure Plan
to the EPA and to the City.
6. The applicant shall receive and retain a Hazardous Waste Generators Service
from Washington County for the landscape business and bus operation.
7. The fuel tank shall be screened with a fence on all sides, as approved by the
City, or be completely placed underground.
8. The tree removal and replacement plan shall be subject to review by the
Planning Commission and approval by the City Arborist and City Council.
9. All signage and lighting existing and proposed for the site shall be compliant with
the Zoning Ordinance.

April 9, 2008
Revised April 25, 2008
In accordance with Ordinance 401.32.E.1, the attached application seeks a
conditional use permit at the above referenced property (Exhibit A) for the
outdoor parking of school buses and the outdoor storage of landscape
maintenance equipment and materials. The school bus contractor and the
landscape maintenance contractor are the only two tenants proposed to occupy
this site.
School Buses
A CUP, File # 798.02-98.07 (Exhibit B) was approved for school buses at this
same property on May 25, 1999. As part of the approval process for the 1999
CUP extensive site work was completed as per approved plans dated 9/21/99.
Such improvements included, but were not limited to, paving, curbing,
stormwater retention, grading, fighting, planting for screening and the addition
turn and bypass lanes on Stagecoach Trait N. The entire site, both paved and
green space, drains into two retention ponds located on the north side of the
property. The aforementioned CUP from 1 999 allowed a maximum of 120 buses
to be parked outdoors. School buses were present on this site as recently as
2005.
The current application seeks permission to park a maximum of 100 school
buses outdoors (Exhibit C).
Landscape Maintenance Equipment and Materials
The current application also seeks permission to store outdoors (Exhibit C):
• A maximum of nine (9) 26 ft. and four (4) 14 ft. landscape trailers

Screening
Finding 5e of the aforementioned CUP from 1 999 states,
"The existing and proposed vegetation on the site will serve to
mitigate any negative impacts to existing development."
The trees present in 1999 are still present and they have grown in size. The
proposed vegetation cited in the earlier CUP consisted of new tree plantings
on the north and southeast of the property perimeter. These plantings were
installed in 1999 and the trees have subsequently increased in size.
Some of the screening trees present or planted in 1999 have died, are missing or
are degraded by disease. Exhibit C shows proposed planting of 33 replacement
spruce trees.
Included herein as Exhibit D are current photos of the existing screening as
viewed from the adjacent properties on the north, south, east and west.
Li htin and Si na e
Parking lot lighting approved at the time of the 1999 CUP has not changed.
Intensities at the property line at that time were within City requirements. One
additional outdoor light is proposed at the fueling island. This proposed light is on
the far west center of the site and will not affect any neighbors.
No additional signage is proposed at this time.
Trash and Rec clln
Locations of two trash and recycling enclosures are shown on Exhibit C. These
shall be constructed of cedar typical of that shown on Exhibit E. Enclosures shall
have doors.
Fueling Island, Above Ground Fuel Storage & SPCC
The proposed locations of a fueling island (Photo Exhibit F) and above ground
fuel tank are shown on Exhibit C.
One above ground fuel tank is proposed to service both tenants. The proposed
tank has a total capacity of 14,000 gallons and it shall be divided internally to
accommodate both gasoline and diesel fuels. Exhibits C and G2 comprise fact
sheets of the proposed tank. A steel reinforced concrete pad shall

will apply for all necessary City permits for the construction of the tank
base and fueling island.
The locations of the tank and fueling station were chosen:
1. 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 fuelin g island to be accessible from both sides reducing or
eliminating idling or waiting times
MPCA rules will be followed regarding the registration of above ground fuel
tanks.
A
Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure plan (SPCC) shall be developed
and implemented per lemented City approval. A sample of a SPCC plan such as will be

ACCESS PERMIT NO, 2000 -02 FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO 5288 STAGECOACH TRAIL
NORTH ACCESS TO WASHINGTON COUNTY STATE AID HIGHWAY 21 (CSAH 21;
STAGECOACH TRAIL NORTH)
Enclosed is the approved permit for the change in use and associated roadway
improvements at the Ryder Student Transportation facility at 5288 Stagecoach Trail in Oak
Park Heights, The following Special Provisions apply to the permit:
• Our analysis of the trip generation figures for the facility indicated that turn and bypass
lanes need to be constructed for safe operation of this access. I met with David Putnam
of Midwest land Surveyor's and Civil Engineers and discussed the design of the turn and
bypass lanes with him. It appears that a practical method of providing the necessary
roadway width would be to widen the road only on the east side. This is acceptable to
Washington County. We must approve the construction plans before any work may
begin.. We will consider alternative designs if widening on one side only proves to be
impractical.
• The turn lane construction may be delayed until the end of the 19g9-2000 school year so
that the work may be done at a time that is less busy and disruptive to Ryder's
oper Use of the access may begin at'any time. All paving, striping and
landscaping must be done by October 31, 2000.
+ Removal of traffic markings and restriping in the area disturbed by construction are the
responsibilities of the permit holders If the timing of the striping can be coordinated with
the County's regular striping Schedule, we will paint the stripes at no cost to the permit
holder. Please notify us of the schedule of construction as soon as it is determined.
+ All traffic control roust conform to the standards of the Minnesota Manual on UJniform
Traffic. Control Devices,. including the Temporary Traffic Control Zone Layouts Field
Manual.
We understand that the City of Oak Park Heights will require ari escrow of funds as a
performance bond. We request that the City not release funds escrowed for this work
until the work is done to the County's satisfaction.

Stephan Stagecoach Property Landscaping
OPH Staff -
1 have reviewed the landscape plan, dated 4/25/08, for the Stephan Stagecoach C.U.P.. They have depicted
replacement spruce the Stagecoach Trail frontage and 27 along the N edge of the property (after removal of
p lacement p ruce � 7 � along
existing poor quality spruce and Siberian elm).
The replacement trees should be "Black Hills" white spruce or Norway spruce, not Colorado spruce, due to disease
problems with the latter.
Trees should receive supplemental water (hose at ground line) every week during lst two growing seasons, unless
more than 1/2 inch of rain falls during the week.
The Plantin g acceptable, Detail is table, though up to an inch of soil should be placed on the top of each root ball to cover fine
p
roots, followed by 3 inches of shredded bark mulch.
Please forward my comments to the developer. Contact me if you have any questions regarding this review.
