' City of Rosemount Executive Summary for Action City Couacil Meetiag Date: March 21, 1995 Ageada Item: Splatball, Inc. : Interim Use Agenda Sectioa: Permit Renewal - 1995 NEW BUSINESS Prepared By: Richard Pearson Agen��_1V1 � � A Assistant Planner Attachments: 1994 IUP Conditions; Approved By: Correspondence; Application. Mr. Jim Lathrop, owner of Splatball, Inc. , is requesting renewal of the IUP that was granted in April 1994 for the operation of an outdoor recreational use in the Agriculture District, west of Fahey Avenue, approximately .5 miles north of STH 55 . On March 14, 1995 the Planning Commission recommended approval of the IUP renewal, The attached IUP Conditions for Splatball, Inc. have been modified for the new season(s) and are in conformance with minor changes discussed by the Planning Commission. The site has been inspected and found to be in compliance with the requirernents of the 1994 2nterim Use Permit Conditions. Erosion in the parking area has halted with the importation of crushed rock for the driveway and parking. Some evidence of debris and litter existed at the site which Mr. Lathrop has since remedied. The discussions that created the IUP included the suggestion that the period of the IUP would be expanded to a multi-year review of two, three, or even five years before it would have to be renewed again. One concern of staff is that the aggregate surface of the driveway and parking area ma.y need occasional maintenance over time. Such maintenance could include blading the aggregate to smooth ruts or erosion rills that occur over time, or the aggregate itself may degrade over time and may need "top-dressing" and compaction with additional material . Planning staff does not believe that such measures are necessary at this time. However, the site should be monitored periodically to assess the relative need for maintenance. At this time, a two-year renewal period for the IUP is recommended with staff monitoring on a bi-monthly basis to see how the improvements are holding up.

The process was a less obtrusive than I expected it to be . As you know the Adventure Zone started this IUP process when it ask the city to be able to operate year round. The process began with the Planning Commission meeting on August 10, - 1993. When this request was made, Splatball Inc. was told it would be involved as well.. Conditions were made and approved by the City Council on April 19, 1994. Splatball Inc. has met all o�the requirements of the city to this point and had them accomplished by the June 15th, 1994 required completion date. I am somewhat confused however that the Adventure Zone was able to operate the entire year in 1994, without complying with its outlined conditions. I have now learned that the City Council is still considering approval of its ILTP. It was clearly stated to both companies in item 3 of the I994 IUP conditions from the city that, "Violation of anv s�ecified NP condition or otherwise unlawful activity may result in immediate revocation of the IIJP . To my knowledge none of the requirements for Adventure Zone have been met, 9 months after the required June 15, 1944 date. I feel that the city gave both companies ample time to complete this process. I know that the Adventure Zone is adversely affecting my business by dragging the City and the sport of paintball into the local newspapers regarding this process. I did not write this letter out of a fear for competition in the area, but out of fairness to like business Permit conditions and deadlines. Please share my sentiments with the City Counsel.
