Jed Schmidt, Forty7, LLC, Woodlane Drive Single-Familty Residential Development City of Woodbury, Washington County, Minnesota 2 On the south side of the site there is a small depression / ditch that was studied by Earth Science Associates Inc. and identified as an incidental wetland. The Minnesota DNR concurred that the feature is not regulated under the Wetland Conservation Act. Additional vegetation on site includes scattered trees and scrub growth. Several trees were removed without formal approval or performing a tree inventory. As a result, a complete tree inventory and preservation plan cannot be prepared. The removals also resulted in some erosion issues near the storm outlet at the Southwest corner of the property. A stop work order was placed as a result. Stabilization was installed, including minor regrading, seeding, installation of erosion control blanket, and placement of silt fence. Permanent improvements will be finalized with the full site development. Surrounding land uses are predominately commercial, including auto repair and sales, personal storage, and tool supply businesses. The Burlington Northern Railway line borders the East property line. On the east side of the railway are single family and multi-family residential uses. These are approximately 290’ away from the rear project property line and are separated by both the railway and Hoffman Road. Existing sanitary sewer and watermain are in Scheuneman road adjacent to the site. There is a 12” DIP watermain and an 8” VCP sanitary sewer. A service lead for each serves the project property entering the site at the existing driveway location. The existing water drainage currently flows across the site north to south. About a quarter of the site drains to the east, and three quarters drains to a flared end storm inlet in the southwest corner of the site. Proposed Project The proposed project includes a lot line adjustment of the north property line. An application for this adjustment was previously submitted to the city by the property owner. The review of that application was placed on hold due to the stop work order. As part of this project an updated application for this adjustment is included. The proposed site development is a small commercial-use building and outdoor storage area to serve KRUNCH Dumpster Company (KRUNCH), a dumpster rental service provider. To fit the operation within the Gateway District, a zoning ordinance amendment is requested to establish new building type – “Commercial Storage.” This alternative layout standard is intended for businesses that store and distribute goods, without a retail component. Outdoor storage is in the proposed operation which requires a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed zoning standards for this building type are outlined in Exhibit A following this narrative. The proposed building for KRUNCH is 4,800 sf and will be used for vehicle parking and office space. The remainder of the site is an outdoor storage area with a class 5 gravel base for dumpster storage. A sign may be provided on the building, but no monument sign is proposed. All signage will comply with city requirements. Parking is provided based on the number of employees. Two outdoor parking spaces for standard vehicles are accommodated in the site plan, based on 2 employees being on the site at any given time. No customer or public parking is required. All parking and outdoor storage areas are located to the side and rear of the building, consistent with Gateway District design intent. Bicycle parking though required by code, is not proposed on this site due to the nature of the business and expected travel mode to the site. Pedestrian access is also not anticipated, there is no existing sidewalk along Scheuneman Rd.
