Review of Preliminary Plat—Sapphire Lake—Winkler Land Co.,LLC—Continued MOTION by Bjorge, second by Tesky to continue this public hearing to the August 15, 2018, Planning Commission meeting. APIF,MOTION CARRIED. b. Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning of Property Legally Described as Outlot A, Tamarack Ridge 4th Addition The location of this property is near Round Bank on TH3. The applicant is Anthony Verch of HC Revolutions, Inc. Mr. Verch is requesting to change the land designation of Outlot A from commercial to high density and rezone the property from B-1 (Highway Business) to R-5 (High Density Residential). The property is located on Cascade Drive, , south of CR 66 (Vermillion River Trail). The applicant would like to construct an apartment complex on the site containing 36 units over three phases. The applicant will have to go through a site plan approval at a later date. The off-street parking standard for multi-family dwellings is 2.5 spaces per unit, which would require 90 stalls on this site. Parking will have to be addressed through the site plan approval. The front yard setback along Cascade Drive would be 25 feet and 10 feet from the side lot lines. The setback from CR66 would be a 50 foot setback. When Round Bank was approved, they were granted a variance to the 50 foot setback. Commissioner Franceschelli noted this is an aggressive plan for a three-story apartment complex. Mr. Verch stated there would be anywhere from one to three bedroom apartments. This is a preliminary plan. They wanted to see what the maximum size is that could fit on the lot and it can be scaled down from there. He was not committed to 36 units. If he could get a nicer unit with 24 to 30 units with the proper parking that would be acceptable. Any underground parking would depend on soil testing and water tables. He noted there is a lot of single family housing coming in, but when was the last time Farmington had a market rate apartment coming in? Commissioner Franceschelli felt we could benefit from this type of construction. Planning Commission Minutes July 10,2018 Page 2 Chair Rotty noted the purpose of a comp plan amendment and rezone is to determine if this is the right use for the property. The specifics will come later. Commissioner Bjorge stated when rezoning we look at what the conflicts will be. She agreed this is a good spot for an apartment building. It is not likely it will be used for commercial so let's get it zoned and used. The community mentioned we need more commercial and she asked where the other pockets are for commercial. Staff noted this is a small parcel, only one acre, so we are not losing acreage for commercial property. There are 25 acres northwest of the roundabout on TH3 for mixed-use and residential. That is the next area for commercial in this corridor. This has been an outlot for 13 years. Commissioner Tesky agreed this is a good use for the property. A discussion on height restrictions will come later. Chair Rotty stated we ask why take business property and rezone it. It has been empty for 13 years and is close to a strip mall that is fully developed. This provides a transition between different uses. He supported reviewing this project. He had several issues the applicant should consider before bringing back the site plan. One is parking. He felt 1:1 is not enough. He asked staff to look at the amount of setback from CR66 for Round Bank. He asked the applicant to look at access and traffic flow in and out. The best option is not going through the strip mall. Chair Rotty felt the commission would support the rezone and comp plan amendment. There will be an opportunity for more resident comments at future meetings. MOTION by Bjorge, second by Tesky to close the public hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Franceschelli, second by Bjorge to recommend approval of the comprehensive plan amendment from commercial to high density and the rezoning from highway business to high density residential. APIF,MOTION CARRIED. 4. Discussion a. August Regular Meeting The August meeting will be moved to Wednesday,August 15, 2018, due to the Primary Election. 5. Adjourn MOTION by Bjorge, second by Tesky to adjourn at 7:21 p.m. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. Respectfully submitted, Cynthia Muller Administrative Assistant Planning Commission Minutes Special Meeting July 31, 2018 1. Call to Order Chair Rotty called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Members Present: Rotty, Franceschelli, Tesky Members Absent: Bjorge, Kuyper Also Present: Tony Wippler, Planning Manager 2. Discussion a. Farmington Gymnastics Center Site Plan The applicant is Grand Projects and they have presented a site plan for Farmington Gymnastics Center to be located at 315 Elm Street. This is a permitted use in the B-2 district. The building will be 8,120 sq. ft. which takes up the southern two thirds of the lot with a parking lot located at the north end which will be accessed by the alley between Third and Fourth Streets. There would be a front setback off of Elm Street of two feet, the side adjacent to EZ Auto would be five feet. There will be a zero foot setback from the western property line and 52 feet from the rear property line adjacent to the alley. The applicant would like to relocate the westerly property line. There are building code requirements that come into play with a zero foot setback related to openings and fire ratings. The applicant would like to relocate the line through a waiver of plat and lot split and then a lot combination. The line would shift five feet in order to meet building code requirements. Staff and the applicant are working on that process. As the site is in the B- 2 zoning district, it is exempt from the off-street parking requirements. They will have a parking lot on the north side containing nine stalls. The parking lot is required to have a minimum ten foot non-paved area between the parking lot and the eastern property line. Currently it sits at five feet, so the parking lot will need to be shifted five feet which will be a condition of approval of the site plan. There is also the need for a cross-access easement or some other type of agreement specifically with the parking lot that is adjacent to the west of the site that is being constructed as part of the daycare facility that will go in the building at the corner of Third and Elm Streets. If the gymnastics center uses that, being it is on a separate lot, there should be an agreement or easement, to ensure those users do have access to that parking area. The alley between Third and Fourth Streets will be paved as part of this development of the gymnastics center and the daycare due to the amount of traffic. Staff is working with the applicant to accomplish the alley paving. The applicant will need to submit a landscape plan in accordance with city code. Details of the types of shrubs, etc. are required. Staff recommends approval of the site plan subject to: 1. A sign permit shall be required for any signage to be placed on site. Planning Commission Minutes July 31,2018 Page 2 2. The applicant shall obtain all necessary building permits that may be required for the establishment of the proposed use. 3. Submission and approval of a complete landscape plan as outlined in Section 10-6- 10(C). 4. Revising the setback of the parking lot to meet the ten foot non-paved area requirement between the parking lot and the eastern property line. 5. Contingent upon engineering comments. The applicant, Mr. Larry White, is prepared to move the parking lot five feet to the west. Regarding moving the property line, the applicant has started that process. It will not affect the daycare project. There has been a change in the building plans which includes there will not be an exterior stair on the east side of the building. That stair will be inside with a door at the grade level for an emergency exit and a sidewalk going back to the parking lot. The building will be stucco and have the main entrance on the north side. The building is arranged so that in the future it could be arranged into separate suites. Regarding the cross- easement on the parking, the applicant would be reluctant to see that as a condition since the ordinance does not require that. Between the tenant and landlord there would be some type of agreement. There are several tenants involved with the parking area including, ISD 192, Linn's Carpet, the daycare and the gymnastics center. Commissioner Franceschelli liked the looks of the building. He was concerned about the mezzanine and didn't see anything for ADA compliance. The applicant noted the occupancy load does not require handicap access to that level. The mezzanine is mainly for the pre- school gymnastics program. Commissioner Tesky also liked the exterior of the building and the placement of windows for future use. She asked about the color of the building. The applicant has not selected colors yet; it would be compatible with the building next to it. Chair Ratty asked about the time schedule for the gymnastics center. Mr. White stated materials will come the third week of August and the plan is to start removing trees and digging for the foundation. Framing should be up in a month and another month to get it enclosed. They would like to be in early October. Regarding the daycare schedule,they will start working this week. This should also be ready in October. Signage has not been determined; that is up to the tenant. There isn't room for a monument sign. Chair Rotty asked about the setback and asked if Linn's Carpet and the daycare are set back a little further than the gymnastics center will be. They are set back two feet further. Mr. White noted they started with the building even, but with getting the parking lot and sidewalk in the back and the playground that space was needed and it will not be noticeable. Chair Rotty asked if there was enough room on the west side for access for future tenants. Mr. White stated with the lot line moved five feet, that will provide room for a sidewalk. Chair Rotty didn't want to encumber the gymnastics with getting an easement, but he asked about the size of the gymnastics classes. Mr. White stated their daily activities are mostly Planning Commission Minutes July 33,2018 Page 3 drop off or kids walking in. There are some events. The diversity on the schedule is that the daycare would close late afternoon and the gymnastics program starts up about the same time. There will be people parking there that go to either the daycare, gymnastics center or the carpet store. The landlord will work that out with the tenants. Chair Rotty noted some parents do stay with younger children for gymnastics. There was another facility in town where an agreement was required. At a minimum staff would like to have the applicant share with the city what is included in their lease agreements as far as sharing the parking lot. This will be included in the conditions. MOTION by Franceschelli, second by Tesky to approve the Farmington Gymnastics site plan subject to the above conditions including the addition of the parking lot agreement in the lease. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 3. Adjourn MOTION by Tesky second by Franceschelli to adjourn at 7:31 p.m. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.

Call to Order Chair Rotty called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Members Present: Rotty,Franceschelli,Kuyper Members Absent: Bjorge, Tesky Also Present: Tony Wippler,Planning Manager 2. Approval of Minutes a. July meeting minutes will be approved at the September meeting. 3. Public Hearings—Chair Ratty opened the public hearings a. Review of Preliminary Plat—Sapphire Lake—Winkler Land Co.,LLC This property is located west of the Trinity Care Center. It consists of 131 single family lots. The majority of the property is zoned R-2 (low/medium density residential). The southeast corner of the property is zoned R-3 (medium density residential). Lot sizes range from 6,820 square feet to 14,508 square feet. The lots will have a front yard setback of 20 feet (25 feet used on sidewalk side) and side yard setbacks of six feet. There are nine outlots proposed totaling 33.07 acres. The preliminary plat shows the extension of 213th Street W and Spruce Street east into the northern and southern portions of the property, respectively. After crossing the Prairie Waterway, 213th Street will transition to a north/south alignment and connect with Spruce Street. The right-of-way for 213th Street will be 60 feet with a roadway width of 32 feet. Spruce Street will also extend across the Prairie Waterway and will run from the southwest corner of the property to the northeast corner and connect with Biscayne Avenue. Spruce Street is proposed at a 70-foot right-of-way with a roadway width of 38 feet. Right-of-way for the future Biscayne Avenue is being platted with this development,but is not being proposed for construction with this plat. The right-of-way for Biscayne Avenue is shown as 75 feet. There will be a neighborhood park in the northeast corner of the development which is just under an acre. In addition, outlot F (4.511 acres)will be deeded over to the city for park purposes. There will be a sidewalk on the north side of Spruce Street, west side of 213th Street and the north side of Street A. A trail is proposed to run along the greenway that bisects the development. Parks and Recreation Director Distad provided the following items that need to be revised prior to final plat submission: 1. The sidewalk on 213th Street W should be relocated to the east side of the street in order to eliminate the double frontage of the lots on the west side of 213th Street with sidewalk in front of the lot and a trail directly in back of the lot. 2. The greenway trail south of the Spruce Street and 210th Street W intersection should be realigned, so it lines up directly across from the relocated sidewalk on the east side of 213th Street W. Planning Commission Minutes August 14,2018 Page 2 3. Show the location of a future trail to be constructed across the floodplain and wetland by others that connects to the future park area located southeast of the residential development. Engineering comments are as follows: 1. The trail located in Spruce Street and Biscayne Avenue right-of-way shall not be included in the 10-foot trail corridor dedicated as parkland. 2. Prairie Waterway delineation and full wetland conservation act approvals are required before the final plat. 3. Final sizes and locations of all streets, storm water management, storm sewer, sanitary sewer and watermain facilities will be reviewed with the final plat and final construction plans. 4. Schedule and funding of the sewer, watermain and street improvements in the Biscayne Avenue corridor will be reviewed with the final plat and construction plans. The landscape plan is acceptable to staff with a slight revision. The plans do show four red oak trees being planted on the Peterson property near the southwest corner of the property. These four trees can be removed from the plan. Staff recommends approval of the Sapphire Lake preliminary plat contingent upon the following: 1. The preliminary plat is contingent upon meeting the requirements stipulated in the Parks and Recreation Director's letter of August 3, 2018. 2. Engineering comments. Mr. John Anderson, Winkler Land Co., stated they are in agreement with staff's comments. Regarding the parks, they will make the alignment change and shift the trail over so it is straight across. The bridge across the creek will be developed when the south side is developed which could be decades. The land will be dedicated with the plat so the city will have it for future parkland. Regarding shifting the sidewalk to the east side of the street,they would like to keep the sidewalk on the west side. They want to line the sidewalk up with the trail that is running to the west. By going to the east side, there would be two street crossings that would go on the property to the north and no street crossings on the property to the south. He understood the comment about those lots being double fronted, but the trail is already there in the Prairie Waterway. They propose to develop in four phases with 30 to 35 lots per year. Phase one would start next spring in the northwest corner off 213th Street. The second phase would be the connection to Spruce Street on the southwest corner. Bruce and Kyle Betzold, stated their father owns the adjacent farmland. They are concerned with the water flowing and the dewatering from outlot B. It looks like it will flow into an area and then to a drainage ditch their father owns. It would greatly impact their farming operations depending on the time of the year. At the wrong time, it will impact their crops. The drainage ditch will not handle any excess flow because it is at capacity. As you travel to the northeast towards the Vermillion River it gets less of a drainage ditch and the water will eventually back up onto their property. They would like Planning Commission Minutes August 14,2018 Page 3 to see the outlets pushed to the Prairie Waterway. Regarding the holding ponds and the water table being so high, they will be digging down into the ground water. He asked if there will be any contamination to the ground water when digging the holding ponds or if they have to be lined. Are the holding ponds discharged into the Prairie Waterway and nothing to the east? Assistant City Engineer Decur stated the developer did submit preliminary storm water models. The ponds are sized to direct and restrict the flow of storm water in the current direction and at the current rates, so there shouldn't be additional flow to the creek that drains to the northeast. As far as ground water, these will be ground water ponds. Mystic Meadow ponds are similar. There is no layer of clay needed to separate them from the ground water. More review will be done as final plats come through, but what was submitted with the preliminary plat does meet city requirements. Drainage is directed to ponds in the outlots which flow into an outfall into the creek. The dewatering will be shifted so it does not impact surrounding properties. Member Franceschelli felt the preliminary plat is a good start. The sidewalk in its original design makes sense and keeps traffic crossings to a minimum. He was in favor of protecting outlot C from unauthorized accesses. It will give a character to the community that will work. Member Kuyper asked as far as the street, 213th Street goes north to south and eventually it will connect with Spruce. Staff noted the name of the street may have to change once it gets past street A. Street naming will come with the final plat. He appreciated the park land being dedicated. Chair Rotty noted the construction will start spring 2019. He asked about the type of housing. Mr, Anderson stated it will be split-entry homes due to the water elevation. Further to the east we will have full basement walkout lots. Chair Rotty asked about the house values, Mr. Anderson stated the split entries will be around $300,000 to low $400,000. The two stories will be $400,000 plus. Chair Rotty asked if both roads will be done so there will be two accesses. Mr, Anderson stated phase one will be 213th Street. Phase two would connect Spruce Street. Chair Rotty asked about the southeast side where there would be a bridge. Mr. Anderson stated there will be a trail connecting to the Prairie Waterway and onto Spruce Street. Long term the parks commission would like to see a walking bridge across the creek. There is no point putting that in now as it will go to farmland. Chair Rotty brought up the sidewalk. He agreed with the sidewalk being on the west side versus the east side. Staff will check with the Parks and Recreation Director. The city does try to avoid double frontage where possible, but we can go with that if that is the commission's recommendation. MOTION by Franceschelli, second by Kuyper to close the public hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Kuyper, second by Franceschelli to recommend approval of the Sapphire Lake Preliminary Plat and forward the recommendation to the City Council with the above contingencies. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. Planning Commission Minutes August 14,2018 Page 4 4. Discussion a) Possible CUP Amendment—20522 Akin Road--Eric Ruud The applicant is Mr. Eric Ruud, owner of 20522 Akin Road. In late 2017,the Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit to allow a recreational vehicle storage facility on the property. As part of that application,Mr. Ruud was going to place asphalt on the front entryway as well as along the north and east sides of the building. The applicant also agreed to pave the drive aisle through the site between the limerock parking pads. The applicant has indicated the paving along the building will be completed by Labor Day. The drive aisle was to be paved by December 12, 2018. Mr. Ruud would like to discuss amending the CUP in order not to pave the drive aisle, the rest would be paved as intended. The reasoning is outlined in his letter. He would like to know the commission's thoughts prior to going through the amendment process. Staff's position is that the drive aisle should be paved as it will keep the limerock from tracking into the city roadway. Mr. Eric Ruud stated he is proud of the project and they have had a huge outpouring of support and the demand has been huge. He installed 1.5" clear rock on the entire property. It is considered to be an impervious surface. Asphalt is also an impervious surface so what are we gaining by putting asphalt in the drive aisle. As far as the amount of material that could be tracked, it would be minimal. They have 200 feet from Akin Road to the back of the building so he envisioned tires coming clean before reaching the road. They would like to do a wider roadway along the building. They had proposed 24 feet and it will be closer to 30 feet. Chair Rotty asked why he is asking for this now and not at the time of approval. Mr. Ruud stated there were three staff members saying the 1.5"rock is impervious surface. After that he wondered what they are gaining by adding asphalt to an already impervious surface. He understood if it was a class five as that is around the building now and they will be putting asphalt around the building. As far as the roadway, they swept the roadway as they were bringing rock in and out. Chair Rotty noted they did a very nice job with the area. Chair Rotty recalled at the time the base was a concern and there was no concern about paving. He clarified Mr. Ruud does not expect any rock coming from the property onto the street. Mr. Ruud felt the 50 feet of asphalt they will be putting in should take care of it. If it is an issue they will continue the asphalt to the drive aisle. Member Kuyper was very pleased with the area. He confirmed more paving would be on the north side. Mr. Ruud replied yes, because of the gate they want to keep the traffic on a wider area of asphalt coming in and out. Member Kuyper noted not every vehicle will travel the same length in the area depending on where they park. He asked how far it takes for the rock to not crack. Would any rumble strips knock the rock off? Can we monitor the area and if there is tracking, the owner would have to do more work? Staff was not sure if the rumble strips would be effective. It could create more issues internally due to the type of vehicles. The thought process with the drive aisle is it provides a chance for rock to come off before the vehicle gets into the city right-of-way. Mr. Ruud stated the vehicles are angled and they back into their spots. They don't have to go around and come the full length of the building. Mr. Ruud stated they have to close for five days if they have to put the asphalt down. So they would do it over Labor Day weekend and the day after. December was the due date for the rest to be put in. If they Planning Commission Minutes August 14,2018 Page 5 would put the asphalt around the building to see what the reaction is and then hold off until mid-summer for the rest. Many companies won't lay asphalt later in the year. Member Franceschelli drove out there today and he liked what has been done with the property. Tires are different on different vehicles. Tires tend to grip whatever loose material they have and hang onto it until they get to a certain speed. The bituminous drive aisle is to be installed by December 12, 2018. What if we push that date into April 2019 so we can see what comes out of that area. See if the paved runway will pick up whatever is attached to the tires. Staff stated it would still require an amendment to the CUP because that time frame was a condition to the approval. Chair Rotty asked if this could get worse over time or does it stay the same? Staff stated there is that potential it could break down over time with heavy vehicles. Mr. Ruud noted if the reason for the asphalt drive aisle is to keep the rock from going onto the street, we need to be practical. We will solve that problem by putting the asphalt in the entry. Chair Rotty stated our options are, Mr. Ruud will have to pave the drive aisle, or we are not sure what will happen so we will be flexible. Member Franceschelli felt they should be flexible. Assistant City Engineer Decur stated he was certain the additional pavement will reduce the amount of gravel that gets picked up and makes it to the road. Depending on levels of traffic,whatever footage of asphalt from the back of the garage to the gate will fill up with gravel. From a storm water perspective they are both impervious. Build wise they are both flexible pavements. It is a tracking issue and giving yourself the most length of pavement to release the stones. Chair Rotty went with the advice he is being given. That does not mean Mr. Ruud cannot file an amendment to the CUP. Mr. Ruud might try for an extension of the installation date with an amendment. He was here to find out the practicality of the requirement. Chair Rotty stated they can consider changing dates if Mr. Ruud can convince staff. 5. Adjourn MOTION by Franceschelli, second by Kuyper to adjourn at 8:20 p.m. APIF,MOTION CARRIED. Respectfully submitted, Cynthia Muller Administrative Assistant f,.�4 itoul/ City of Farmington 41/4 430 Third Street Farmington, Minnesota 156 651.280.6800 -Fax 651.280.6899 414 ••••00414 www.ci.farmington.mn.us TO: Planning Commission FROM: Tony Wippler, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permits to 1) Construct municipal supply well No. 9 and wellhouse and 2) To allow the addition of up to 250 square feet of building to an existing wellhouse for chemical treatment of well water DATE: September 11, 2018 INTRODUCTION The City of Farmington is requesting two conditional use permits (CUP's) for the installation and expansion of public utilities within the R-1 and R-3 zoning districts, respectively. The subject properties are 19995 Everhill Avenue and 5525 200th Street W in the Charleswood neighborhood. Planning Division Review Applicant: City of Farmington 430 Third Street Farmington, MN 55024 Locations: 19995 Everhill Avenue (Lot 19, Block 1 Charleswood 4th Addition) 5525 200th Street W(Lot 18, Block 1 Charleswood 5th Addition) Attachments: 1. CUP applications 2. Site exhibit- 19995 Everhill Avenue 3. Site exhibit- 5525 200th Street W Areas Bounded By: • 19995 Everhill Avenue- single-family residences to the north, east and south. Cultivated farmland to the west. • 5525 200th Street W- Townhome development to the west, north and south. Pilot Knob Road is adjacent to the east. Existing Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Guidance: • 19995 Everhill Avenue-Planned Unit Development(PUD), underlying R-1 (Low Density Residential). The property is guided as Low Density in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. • 5525 200th Street W- Planned Unit Development(PUD), underlying R-3 (Medium Density Residential). The property is guided as Medium Density in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Current Land Use: • 19995 Everhill Avenue-vacant platted lot. • 5525 200th Street W- existing wellhouse site. DISCUSSION The City of Farmington is seeking approval of two Conditional Use Permits, the requests are as follows: A)A CUP for the construction of municipal well No. 9 and an associated 500 square foot wellhouse. Well No. 9 is to be located on the city owned lot that is addressed as 19995 Everhill Avenue. The city was deeded this lot as part of the Charleswood 4th Addition for a future wellhouse location. As shown in the attached site exhibit, the well is proposed to be located near the center of the lot with a proposed 500 square foot wellhouse to encase the well. The proposed wellhouse, as shown on the site exhibit, meets the required setbacks within the R-1 zoning district. The overall design of the wellhouse has yet to be determined, however, the intent would be to make the wellhouse as unobtrusive as possible. Wellhouses are generally designed to to fit into the neighborhoods that they are located in and will normally have exterior treatments similar to those of the surrounding homes. B)A CUP to allow the expansion of the existing wellhouse for well No. 8. The address of the existing wellhouse is 5255 200th Street W and is located at the northwest intersection of Pilot Knob Road and 200th Street W. The CUP is to allow the addition of up to 250 square feet of building to the existing wellhouse structure. The expansion is being proposed to house additional equipment for the chemical treatment of raw municipal well water. The existing well and wellhouse is located within an easement that was granted to the city for the siting of a wellhouse in 2001 from Astra Genstar Partnership, LLP as part of the Charleswood 5th Addition development. The easement document specifies the minimum requirements that must be meet for the wellhouse, which includes the following: • Shall not exceed twenty(20) feet in height measured in grade to the highest point of the structure. • Be situated within the Easement Area maintaining the minimum setbacks established for single-family residential homes constructed within Charleswood 5th Addition, Dakota County, Minnesota. • Shall have a pitched roof with a minimum pitch of 6/12. The roof shall have a twelve (12) inch minimum overhang. The roof shall be covered with standard, minimum two-hundred (200)pound, residential shingles or wood shakes. • Exterior material may be a combination of brick and wood and shall match the materials used in the construction of the monument sign. All wall area that is not door, window, trim, fascia, or sofit below a height of eight(8) feet or the eave line, whichever is greater, shall be brick. Exposed foundation shall not be more than twelve (12) inches above grade. • All exterior colors shall be earth tone and match the monument sign. • The entrance to the wellhouse shall be oriented towards 200th Street. • Landscaping of the burdened parcel which is disturbed during construction of the wellhouse shall be restored at the sole cost and expense of the grantee. • Total floor area of the wellhouse shall not exceed 750 square feet. • The wellhouse shall be designated and constructed to incorporate reasonable noise abatement elements. The design of the expansion area has not yet been completed, however, the expansion area will not exceed 250 square feet as that would likely make the wellhouse larger than 750 square feet which would be in violation of the terms outlined in the easement agreement. It should be noted that a variance was approved in 2005 to reduce the required front yard setback off of Pilot Knob road from 50 feet to 30 feet for the existing wellhouse. The proposed addition would have to maintain the existing 30 foot setback off of Pilot Knob Road, otherwise a variance would be necessary to further reduce the setback. The city code provides criteria that must be met in order for the Planning Commission to approve the Conditional Use Permits. Those criteria are as follows: 1. The proposed use conforms to the district permitted and conditional use provisions and all general regulations of this title.
