LAND USE It m Description: Berger Transfer and Storage, Inc. request for an interim use permit to allow a secured storage area on NSP property along County Road C2 (PF#2937). 1.0 REQUESTED ACTION 1.1 Berger Transfer and Storage, Inc. is requesting an interim use permit to allow a secured exterior trailer storage area on property owned by Northern States Power along County Road C2. Requests for interim use permits are processed in the same manner as conditional use permit. 1.2 The interim use permit process for this request allows the City to consider interim uses which might not be consistent with the land use designated in the City's comprehensive plan or might fail to meet all of the zoning standards established for the zoning district within which it is located. In reviewing the interim use permit application, the City will establish a specific date or event which will terminate the use on the property. The process also allows the City to impose those conditions it considers necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. In considering the request, the City gives consideration to the compatibility with adjoining properties; impacts on traffic, public facilities, and property values; and impact on the general health, safety, and public welfare. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Berger Transfer and Storage, Inc. has a potential lease agreement to develop a secured exterior trailer storage lot on a 1.9 acre parcel, which is owned by Northern States Power. The property is located in an 11, Light Industrial District, and the Comprehensive Plan identifies this property as Industrial. Adjacent land uses include railroad right-of-way and Berger Transfer's secured trailer storage lot to the west, a secured truck and new auto storage lot to the south, a truck wash and fuel station to the east, and the State's vehicle emission facility to the north. 2.2 The site is currently vacant, is overgrown with vegetation, and has become a dumping ground for debris and abandoned vehicles. In addition, underground pipelines and overhead electrical high lines traverse the entire site. 2.3 In conjunction with development of the trailer storage lot, the site will be cleaned up and site drainage will be improved. Belair Excavating and NSP will jointly conduct an environmental assessment and legally dispose of debris, drums, and dumped RCA (PF2937) - 08/25/97 - Page 1 of 4
