.. <br />^ <br />C.U.P Narrative: Proposed Bituminous Roadways Inc. Facility March 6, 2009 <br />Rosevil/e, MN <br />� <br />3. Compatibility with Contiguous Properties <br />The site is separated from contiguous properties on the north and west by <br />existing streets and on the east and south by streets, railroad right-of-way <br />and electric transmission easements. <br />The existing streets and neighboring properties will be additionally <br />buffered by a 3 foot± high earth berm with an 8 foot high opaque fence <br />and/or landscape screening. All internal pavement is setback a minimum <br />of 40 feet from the right-of-way. Sufficient internal traffic ways have been <br />reserved to prevent the use of city streets other than for ingress and <br />egress to the site. The number of driveway accesses has been reduced <br />from 5 existing to 3 proposed. <br />4. Impact on Market Value of Contiguous Properties <br />No impacts to contiguous property values or other property in the near <br />vicinity is expected. <br />The proposed use is consistent with permitted uses in the I-2 District. The <br />properties surrounding the site include; Macy's Warehouse, FedEx — <br />Freight, MN Commercial Rail, Unysis, and the Meritex Facility. These <br />uses in this area are predominately "transportation" oriented and include <br />varying amounts of outside storage for truck and trailer storage. The <br />exceptions to this are the Unisys building and the Meritex Facility. The <br />Unisys building is located north and west of the subject property and is <br />used mostly for office. The building has glass lines facing both east <br />(Macy's Warehouse) and west (the golf course), and has limited visibility <br />to the subject property. The Meritex Facility is expected to be <br />redeveloped, and the future tenant of that property is unknown at this time; <br />however, it is expected that the end user for the facility will be similar to <br />the surrounding uses, and see value in locating in an industrial park that <br />has an I-2 zoning and permits 'heavier' types of uses. Additionally, the <br />subject property is currently used for outside storage of trailers and <br />equipment with little to no screening. <br />Bituminous Roadways is committed to maintaining the appearance and <br />function of its new state of the art facility. As such, the effect on the <br />neighboring properties is expected to be neutral to positive, considering <br />the adjacent uses, zoning, and current use of the subject property. <br />Page 5 of 7 <br />
