Regular Planning Commission Meeting Draft Minutes – Wednesday, November 2, 2016 Page 2 Paschke advised that such amendments would need to be properly vetted by 47 staff, with a separate hearing published and held in accordance with notice 48 requirements for a future Planning Commission meeting. Based on other 49 planning cases pending, Mr. Paschke advised that the earliest possible date for 50 such a public hearing would be in January of 2017. 51 Mr. Paschke reviewed staff’s analysis and recommendations as detailed in the 52 staff report of today’s date; and specifically addressing principal structures and 53 addressing outdoor storage of semi-trailers and their operational or license status. 54 Specific to Conditional Uses for the addition of motor freight terminals to Table 55 1006-1, Mr. Paschke referenced in Table 1006-1 and lines 69 – 98 of the staff 56 report. 57 Mr. Paschke referenced a letter received by staff on October 27, 2016 from Ann 58 Steingraeber of Winthrop & Weinstine on behalf of a Roseville property owner, 59 Koch Trucking, requesting several additional revisions, identified in lines 111 – 60 115 of the staff report addressing “primary” streets and side/rear yard setbacks. 61 Noting the impact such a change could make for citywide zoning for industrial 62 properties and for all Roseville properties operating motor freight terminals, not 63 just one specific parcel. Mr. Paschke noted staff’s previous comments in 64 response to this additional request at this time without sufficient public notice and 65 feedback. Also, Mr. Paschke stated that staff felt the request was inappropriate to 66 consider relative to other code and current zoning language related to building 67 designs with a street presence and outdoor storage in side and rear yards. 68 Therefore, Mr. Paschke recommended keeping language as proposed by staff 69 versus further complicating other portions of city code and requiring their 70 amendment as an unintended consequence of this request. Specific to the 71 request to reduce side and rear yard setbacks, Mr. Paschke advised that staff 72 continued to support the 10’ setback requested by the Fire Marshal. 73 Commission Deliberation 74 Referencing line 89 of the staff report providing “screen planting AND an opaque 75 wall or fence,” Member Bull asked why both would be needed. 76 Mr. Paschke advised that this was an error and language should state “OR” rather 77 than “AND.” 78 Without objection, commissioners agreed with this corrected language. 79 Public Hearing 80  Ann Steingraeber of Winthrop & Weinstine on behalf of a Roseville 81 property owner, Koch Trucking 82  Robert K.

IDS Center, Mpls., MN (out-of-town and unable to attend tonight’s 88 meeting) 89 Ms. Steingraeber referenced her office’s letter to Mr. Paschke dated October 27, 90 2017, and verbally expounded on those items of interest to her client as the 91 Commission considers this text amendment. Ms. Steingraeber noted her client’s 92 preference for a Conditional Use application with specific conditions applied that 93 addressed issues unique to each property. While recognizing that Mr. Paschke’s 94 statement that the text amendments and any Conditional Uses would apply to all 95 industrial uses throughout the city, Ms. Steingraeber reiterated her client’s 96
