RESOLUTION GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
FOR G. L. CONTRACTING, INC.
WHEREAS, G. L. Contracting, Inc. (Applicant) has applied for permission to
operate a contracting business at 4300 Willow Drive; and
WHEREAS, the City's zoning ordinance requires a conditional use permit under
such circumstances; and
WHEREAS, the planning commission has reviewed the Applicant's proposal and
has determined that use of the property as proposed will not adversely affect
development of adjacent sites.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Medina, Minnesota that a conditional use permit is hereby granted to the Applicant
for the stated purpose, subject to the following conditions:
1. The hours of operation shall be limited to 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. , Monday through
Saturday;
2. The number of persons employed on the site shall not exceed 16;

4. Site drainage must be accomplished in accordance with the plan submitted by
the Applicant or as permitted by the city engineer or staff;
5. There shall be no exterior loudspeakers on the site;

ME230-175
8. The height of the material piles shall not exceed 20 feet and the area dedicated
to their use shall not exceed 25% of the usable portion of the site. The usable
portion of the site is defined as that area within the berms, which contains
eight acres;
9. Any signs must meet city code requirements;
10. The Applicant shall convey to the City the drainage and utility easements
required by the city engineer;
11. The location of the hydrant on the property shall be determined by the city
staff;
12. There shall be no hazardous or toxic materials brought onto the site;
13. The Applicant acknowledges that sanitary sewer will not be available to the
site within the foreseeable future and that until sewer is available, holding
tanks are the only practical method of sewage disposal for this site. When
sanitary sewer becomes available to the site, the Applicant must connect and
remove the holding tanks within one year;
14. The outside storage area shall not exceed 35 percent of the usable portion of
the site;
15. The Applicant must install low flush toilets and low water use fixtures on the
site;
16. The Applicant must post a surety bond with the City to be used in the event
the holding tanks are not periodically flushed in accordance with city staff's
recommendation;
17. The Applicant must provide a detailed landscaping and screening plan which
shows the location of trees on the berms in accordance with staff's
recommendation;
18. The Applicant must enter into a development agreement with the City designed
to ensure development of the site to the extent and within the time frame
outlined by the Applicant;
19. The Applicant must enter into a development agreement with the City
regarding the height of material piles and the percentage of property used for
outside storage; and
20. The Applicant must pay to the City an administrative fee in the amount
necessary to reimburse the City for its costs in reviewing this application.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Medina, Minnesota that the Applicant be granted variances to permit holding
tanks on the site and to exceed the percentage of the site dedicated to outdoor
storage. The grounds for granting the hold tank variance is that the soils on the
RRS44655
ME230-175
property are disturbed and cannot be used for on -site septic system. The grounds
for granting a variance to exceed the allowable percentage of the site used for
outdoor storage is that the usable portion of the site is surrounded by an earth berm
which will mitigate the visual impact of the outdoor storage on adjacent properties
and because soil compaction on the site makes construction of buildings difficult .
