Jed Schmidt, Forty7, LLC, Woodlane Drive Single-Familty Residential Development City of Woodbury, Washington County, Minnesota 3 Landscaping is designed to meet City requirements, including a 20-foot landscaped front yard and the installation of 16 trees and 32 shrubs. Six Prairie Sentinel Hackberry trees are proposed along Scheuneman Road to enhance streetscape character. This species is native, tolerant of varied soil conditions, and provides effective screening with its narrow upright form. A row of Techny Arborvitae is proposed along the south property line to provide year-round visual screening from adjacent uses. Site utilities and stormwater management have been planned to meet City standards and support the proposed building and outdoor storage use. Sanitary sewer and water service will connect to the existing leads within Scheuneman Road to serve the new building. Stormwater management consists of rate control and will be provided via a small basin located in the southwest portion of the site. The proposed grading plan directs as much runoff as practicable to this basin, to reduce overall discharge from the site. A Conditional Use Permit is requested to allow outdoor storage associated with KRUNCH business operations. Based on the proposed site design and operational characteristics, the request satisfies the required findings for approval as follows: 1. There will be no detraction from the appearance of adjacent properties, or the City as a whole. Outdoor storage is screened from public view and will have a clean and orderly appearance along Scheuneman Road. 2. There will not be aesthetic incompatibility. The use is consistent with surrounding commercial and light industrial land uses. Building placement, landscaping, and screening ensure visual compatibility with the corridor. 3. There will not be aural incompatibility (noise). The business generates minimal noise, limited to standard vehicle movements during daytime operating hours. No mechanical processing or high-noise activities occur outdoors. 4. There will not be damage to vegetation. All proposed improvements retain existing vegetation where feasible, and new landscaping will be installed to enhance site screening. 5. Traffic patterns will not be negatively affected. The operation has low traffic demand with only two employees on site and no customer traffic. The existing roadway network adequately supports the use. 6. There is no unnecessary loss of existing natural features. The site is predominantly vacant with limited natural features. The project improves drainage and adds new plantings in compliance with City standards. 7. The use will not cause soil erosion. Temporary stabilization has been installed, and permanent grading, stormwater, and erosion control measures will be implemented in accordance with City requirements. 8. The use will not increase flood potential. Proposed stormwater management improvements maintain compliant runoff rates and do not increase downstream flooding risk. 9. The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and complies with other ordinances. The development supports reinvestment in a vacant commercial property, meets applicable performance standards subject to CUP approval. Construction is intended to begin in Spring of 2026 and is anticipated to take about 3 months to complete.
