Teresa Bender To: skipp.haseley@gmail.com Subject: 7087-20th Avenue South Attachments: Teresa Bender.vcf;2014-11-12 CUP Alex's Landscaping-Recorded.pdf Dear Mr.Haseley: Thank you for your recent email regarding the landscape firm that has recently purchased 7087-20h Avenue South, Centerville,MN 55038 and noises emitting from the site. In December, 2014 the City sold 7087—201h Avenue South to Alex's Landscaping. December 4,2012 the Planning&Zoning Commission held a public hearing to rezone this property from P-1 Public to 13- 1 Commercial and Council subsequently approved the zoning on December 12,2012. You or the residence received a copy of this public hearing notice. On October 21,2015 the Planning&Zoning Commission considered a plat for this property,Council subsequently approved it and you received a public hearing notice for the meeting. On November 18,2015 the Planning&Zoning Commission considered a Conditional Use Permit for the use of the property as a landscape company,Council subsequently approved it and you received a public hearing notice for the meeting. I have attached a copy of Alex's Landscaping Conditional Use Permit with their requirements that are in addition to the City's Code. All along 20th Avenue South abutting the rear of your property and your neighbor's is a Commercial(B-1)Zoning District and the opposing side of 20th Avenue South is Industrial(1-1)zoning. The City believes that with the owner's recent utilization of the property and eagerness to meet requirements of the Conditional Use Permit,noises that may be emitting from the property are outside of the normal business noise that you will encounter in the future. The business is in compliance with the levels being emitted between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.at this time. The owner is currently installing an 8' privacy fence which will assist in the noises being muffled and the property does have the required berm installed on the rear of the parcel. The owner is also preparing to install an asphalt parking area along with bins for storage of wood chips/rock/etc.associated with the business operations. We apologize for the disturbances that you have been enduring,however,the business has met all required qualifications of the City's Comprehensive Plan and City Code regarding zoning and operating their business in the properly zoned zoning district. Please feel free to contact me with any additional concerns that you may encounter in the future. Sincerely, J.�gwmder
