e e e ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - FEBRUARY 2, 2000 DRAFT 3 Commissioner Galatowitsch asked why the special use permit would be limited to two years when the applicant had requested up to five years. Ms. Randall stated that it will take the applicant about two years to secure the funding for the addition and to determine the layout. The applicant expects that the addition will be completed within two years. Commissioner Baker asked if the renewal of the permit will be an administrative action. Ms. Randall stated that the renewal of the permit can be approved under the City Council consent agenda. Commissioner Sand requested confirrmnation that one reason the building must be close to the property line was for the ability to connect to the water line. Ms. Randall stated that this was correct. Additionally, the building was required to be a certain distance from other buildings on the site. Commissioner Sand asked if the applicant must conform to the City Building Code. Ms. Randall stated that they do. Commissioner Sand asked how the mobile home will be attached to the ground. Chair Erickson stated that there was a specific section of the Building Code that addresses this type of structure and the applicant must abide by these requirements. Mr. Lonnie Cowherd, Manager ofthe Minnesota Department of Transportation Training Center, explained the use of the proposed materials training laboratory. Chair Erickson asked Mr. Cowherd to explain the proposed placement of the temporary building and how it relates to the adjacent buildings on the site. Mr. Cowherd stated that to the left of the proposed building was a one-stall garage used for storage by the State Patrol, and to the right was a gun range. The location of the temporary building will allow the proper setback from these buildings as well as easy connection to the water and sewer lines. Chair Erickson asked where the permanent building will be located. Mr. Cowherd stated that the permanent structure will be located in the same location as the temporary building. Chair Erickson closed the public hearing at 7:48 p.m., as no one else wished to address the Planning Commission. Commissioner Sand suggested that condition number one be changed to state, "...within two years or renewal on an annual basis of the permit, not to exceed an additional three years, if the new facility has not been constructed by that time." Ms. Randall agreed. Commissioner Sand moved, seconded by Commissioner Baker to recommend approval of Planning Case #00-08, Special Use Permit, subject to the following conditions: 1. Removal of the temporary structure within two years or renewal on an annual basis of the permit, not to exceed an additional three years, if the new facility has not been constructed by that time. Resolution to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning conflict for this site prior to the construction of the permanent structure. Site Plan review or Special Use Permit prior to construction of the permanent structure. 2. 3. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
