05 -40 -PUD Endres Properties 2 Addition Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, and PUD
Concept Plan Community Development Director Lindquist presented the matter. At the July
18, 2006 meeting, the City Council had approved the drainage and utility easement vacation
needed to execute this final plat. Also on tonight's Agenda, the City Council will be acting on
the Adventure Zone Interim Use Permit for Lot 1 and Lot 3 of Block 1 Endres Properties 2"
Addition.
Leon Endres has applied for PUD Concept Plan, Preliminary Plat, and Final Plat approval to
subdivide the Endres property located at 13420 Courthouse Blvd. Ultimately, three lots will be
created, one for the existing Endres facility and two new lots for industrial use along State
Highway 55 Endres Rosemount Holdings LLC owns approximately 50 acres of land for the
Endres processing plant along the east side of State Highway 55 across from the.SKB landfill.
Much of the site beyond the 10 acres occupied by the Endres facility is undeveloped. However,
"The Adventure Zone a commercial outdoor recreational use for pamtball games is also
established on the site If approved, the Interim Use Permit "IUP for the Adventure Zone
will have to be amended with the new legal description for the parcel it will occupy.
The site is in the General Industrial zoning district, located between Highway 55 and the
Mississippi River. The property is also part of the Mississippi River Cnncal Corridor Area
MRCCA which is an overlay district intended to protect and preserve steep slopes or bluffs
and protect views from the aver and control erosion among other things The Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources "DNR has had the opportunity to provide comments
regarding the proposed preliminary plat and its potential impact on the regulated bluff areas In
addition, the Minnesota Department of Transportation "MnDOT also reviewed the
preliminary plat because it has direct access onto State Highway 55.
PUD Concept Plan approval has been requested to illustrate how the proposed lots can be
developed in hght of the MRCCA standards. The concept provides a development scenario for
discussion and comment. Since the owner will not be the developer for the parcels it is unclear
what the final site plans will look like However, it is useful for the city to determine if the
Preliminary Plat is practical or realistic The apphcant could not commit to a detailed Master
Development Plan approval at this tune, until future owners and businesses for the new lots are
identified. Prior to development of the two new sites, Master Development Plan approval is
required It is expected that the final master plan will need to be comparable m size and scope
to the concept due to the individual site constraints. These constraints limit the options for site
development. It is expected that the two new parcels, if approved, should not require additional
variances from the ordinance standards than that reflected under the current submittal The
DNR's role is to ensure that the MRCCA standards are enforced relative to the regulated bluff
areas. With the exception of the protected bluffs and bluff setbacks, the traditional General
Industrial standards apply
Council Member Sterner asked about tree preservation and Ms. Lindquist stated that these are
just concepts and staff will look at tree preservation closer m the final development plan.
Council Member Baxter commented that he is grateful for the work that staff and Planning
Commission has done due to the fact that this is all preliminary
Mayor Droste asked if there are any sewer systems and water on the site or close to the site.
City Engineer Brotzler explained where the closest sewer system and water is located. Ms.
Lindquist confirmed that this is in the General Industrial zone and staff is currently modifying
those requirements Mayor Droste stated that all septic systems and dram fields would need to
be approved before any building site could be fmahzed. Mayor Droste asked the City Attorney
if monies from the TIF district could be used to improve any of the outlots. Attorney LeFevere
indicated staff would have to look at the TIF district plan more closely. Approving the motion
does not impair the Council's abihty to spend money on other parts of the distract if allowed by
the appointed plan. Mayor Droste stated the question on the TIF district needs to be answered
so funds are utilized within the remaining time period.
Council Member DeBettignies questioned why Adventure Zone is mentioned in the Resolution.
Ms. Lindquist explained how the motion affects Adventure Zone.

06 -36 -IUP J C Nordberg, Inc. (DBA The Adventure Zone) Interim Use Permit
Renewal of an Existing IUP for Commercial Outdoor Recreation. Community
Development Director Lindquist presented the matter. The apphcant, J C Nordberg, Inc.
(DBA. The Adventure Zone), requests renewal of their existing Interim use permit (IUP) to
allow the continued operation of the Adventure Zone pamtball field The Adventure Zone is
located on the western half of the Endres Processing site located at 13420 Courthouse
Boulevard (Hwy. 55). The Adventure Zone has operated this pamtball game field m this same
location under their existing IUP since 1994 The permit was last renewed m May of 2004 and
allows this Commercial Outdoor Recreation use, subject to conditions, through 2007. The
subject property is zoned and guided GI General Industrial. Pamtball fields are allowed
through an interim use permit in the General Industrial District.
The City is requiring renewal of this IUP at this time because the property owner (Endres
Properties, LLC) wishes to subdivide their existing single parcel into three separate parcels for
potential development The proposed subdivision would divide the Adventure Zone business
over two separate properties The intent of this renewal is to modify the IUP to ensure it
reflects the new legal descnpuons proposed by the plat. Staff and the Planning Commission are
recommending approval of the proposed plat under a separate item on this agenda Should the
City approve the renewal request, The Adventure Zone would continue to operate on Lots 1
and 3, Block 1 of Endres Properties 2n Addition through 2009 It should be noted that if the
owner of Lot 1, Block 1 seeks development approvals for this property, the City may revoke the
IUP requiring the Adventure Zone to cease operation.
Council Member Baxter asked if there has ever been any complaints with this business, and it
was confirmed that there hasn't been any.
Motion by DeBettigmes. Second by Sterner.
Motion to approve a resolution renewing the Interim Use Permit (IUP) for J C
Nordberg, Inc to allow the continued operauon of the Adventure Zone, subject to
conditions.
