______________________________________________________________________________ <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for July 5, 2017 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-015 - Ramsey County - Organics and Yard Waste Collection Site – Tony <br />Schmidt Park\Memos_Reports_17-015 <br /> <br />Page 6 of 8 <br />2. Ramsey County has submitted a Conditional Use Permit application for the existing yard <br />waste site and a proposed Source Separated Organics collection area at 1761 Lake Johanna <br />Boulevard. <br />3. The existing yard waste site and the proposed Source Separated Organics collection area are <br />considered to be a Public Use. <br />4. A Conditional Use Permit is required for a Public Use in the Parks and Open Space District. <br />5. Section 1355.04 Subd. 3 of the Arden Hills Zoning Code lists criteria for evaluating a <br />Conditional Use Permit request. <br />6. Section 1320.145 of the Arden Hills Zoning Code lists additional criteria to be considered <br />when evaluating a Conditional Use Permit application for a property located in the Parks and <br />Open Space District. <br />7. The proposal will have limited impact on existing and anticipated traffic and parking <br />conditions. The addition of SSO collection is not expected to significantly increase existing <br />traffic to the site and many residents will combine SSO drop off with delivering yard waste <br />or collecting compost or mulch. <br />8. The applicant has provided a management plan for the SSO collection that will mitigate any <br />limited impacts associated with odors and solid waste. <br />9. The proposal will not affect noise, glare, vibration, smoke, dust, air pollution, heat, and liquid <br />on the property. <br />10. The proposal will not affect drainage on the property. <br />11. The proposal is unlikely to significantly affect land values on the subject property or on <br />neighboring properties. <br />12. The park dedication requirement does not apply in this case. <br />13. The proposed use would be compatible with the natural features of Tony Schmidt Regional <br />Park. <br />14. The proposed use would be compatible with the recreational amenities of Tony Schmidt <br />Regional Park. <br />15. Where the proposed use is expected to impact the health, safety, convenience and general <br />welfare of the owners and occupants of the surrounding land, conditions may be placed on a <br />Conditional Use Permit to mitigate such impacts. <br /> <br /> <br />Notice <br /> <br />Notice was published in the Arden Hills/Shoreview Bulletin and notice was prepared by the City <br />and mailed to residents within 500 feet of the subject property. <br /> <br /> <br />Public Comments <br /> <br />Staff received one phone call from a resident in the area expressing their support for the <br />proposal. Staff received a letter from the resident at 3540 Hudson Road expressing their <br />opposition to the proposal. A copy of the letter has been provided in Attachment G.
