If any types of objectionable emissions are produced, the applicant <br />would be required to reduce or eliminate the emission so that a nuisance is not created for <br />adjacent properties. <br /> <br /> <br />5. Additional Review <br /> <br />The Building Official, Assistant City Engineer, and the Fire Marshal have reviewed the <br />application and have noted that the tank installation would need to comply with Building, Fire, <br />and Mechanical Codes and all County and MPCA regulations. (Attachment C – MPCA <br />Regulations) <br /> <br /> <br />Findings of Fact <br /> <br />The Planning Commission must make a finding as to whether or not the proposed application <br />and use would adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood or the community as a whole <br />based on the aforementioned factors. Staff offers the following sixteen (16) findings of fact for <br />consideration: <br /> <br />General Findings: <br />1. That a PUD Amendment is required to add the additional storage tank to the property. <br />2. Hood Packaging Corporation is located at 1887 Gateway Boulevard and is a conforming <br />use within the Gateway Business Zoning District. <br />3. The PUD process allows for flexibility within the City’s regulations through a negotiated <br />process with the developer or land owner. <br />4. The applicant proposes to add one storage tank to the southeast side of the building where <br />there are currently four (4) similar tanks installed. <br />5. The tank would be placed horizontally behind the screening fence approximately seven <br />(7) feet from the outside wall of the building. <br />6. The double walled constructed tank is made from 100% steel with a capacity of 2,500 <br />gallons and is approximately five and one half (5.5) feet in height, fifteen (15) feet in <br />length by three and one half (3.5) feet in diameter. <br />7. This proposal will not impact lot coverage requirements, nor will it encroach on setbacks. <br /> <br />On the Conditional Use Plan Evaluation Criteria: <br />8. The proposal will not impact traffic circulation or parking. <br />9. The proposal is not expected to create noise, glare, odors, vibration, smoke, dust, air <br />pollution, heat, liquid or solid waste, or other nuisance characteristics. The tank is made <br />with double walled construction to contain the material stored. The containment area has <br />been constructed per the MPCA regulations. <br />10.
