One specific area was the limited number of permitted uses allowed in the Industrial Park zoning district. Staff researched examples from other communities to get an idea of how Scandia stacks up. Issue: Review other communities' examples. Decide next steps. Proposal Details: Scandia Industrial Park District restrictions While the purpose of the Industrial Park District is to allow for light industrial businesses the only permitted uses are essential services (utilities) and printing businesses. All others must go through the CUP process. The City was recently contacted by a current business that wanted to add on to their storage building. They were told they would need to go through the process to amend their CUP. Included in your packet are examples from Forest Lake and Hugo because they are located closest to Scandia. Other smaller, rural type communities of Lindstrom, Chisago City, Pine City and Columbus are also provided. Staff would recommend getting further feedback from Scandia businesses at the meeting before making a recommendation to the Planning Commission and/or City Council. 4.4 INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS A.

COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL (C/I) DISTRICT CONDITIONAL USES. As evidenced by the Comprehensive Plan, most lands in the City of Columbus are limited in their capacity to be developed because of poor soil conditions, relatively high water table, lack of municipal water supply, lack of municipal sanitary sewer, and lack of municipal storm sewer. Until these municipal facilities become available, it will be necessary for nearly all C/I uses to be administered as Conditional Uses. The principal conditions employed to address these concerns are environmental and include such things as (i.) non -contamination of the groundwater system through utilization of containment systems for off -site waste disposal and lawful on -site sewage disposal systems; (ii.) installation of lawful wells for on -site water supply; and, (iii.) installation of on -site or acquisition and installation of off -site surface water retention areas to nullify the impact of construction of impervious surfaces on the site. Environmental conditions are not the only conditions which may be placed upon a C/I use. Other conditions, intended to make the C/I use as harmonious as possible with it surrounding lawful uses, may be imposed by the City Council. Cross-reference: see the General Standards for all Conditional Uses at § 7A-563 above. The following uses shall be conditional in the C/I District: A. Building trade/contractor offices, including company -owned vehicle repair, and including storage of company -owned vehicles, equipment and materials. B. Licensed day care facilities. C.

The provisions of this section are designed to deal with larger scale development and facilitate better site planning and community planning. This can be done through modification of certain district regulations as they apply to such development. In larger scale development, the Zoning Code might place unnecessary or undesirable rigidities on the site plan and prevent achievement of the best possible plan. Therefore, this Section has the following intents: A. To permit flexibility in site design. B. To achieve more efficient use of land, within the framework and intent of the Zoning Code, which can result from large scale or multiple use developments. C. To encourage and permit provision of open space. -58- SCANDIA Staff Report Date of Meeting: July 14, 2014 To: Economic Development Authority From: Kristina Handt, Executive Director Re: Director's Report HRA Meeting: Washington County HRA has invited community development staff to a meeting on July 17th to discuss priorities and how the HRA can partner with us over the next three years. I've signed up to attend the meeting and welcome any of your feedback to share with the HRA. Natural Gas Update: Xcel mailed letters to property owners in Scandia along the proposed expansion area regarding the possibility of expanding natural gas in 2015. A copy of the letter is included in your packet. If you hear from anyone new who is interested in the proposed service area, please have them contact Xcel. Broadband Update: Midcontinent has informed us that Wyldewood Acres does not meet the requirements in the franchise agreement for expansion of services. I've asked for clarification. They did say if they got the names, numbers and addresses of folks interested they could have their sale folks contact them and see about expanding into the area. I've passed this information along to the President of the HOA. 2014 Funds: The City received the first half of the 2014 taxes this month. I'll be working to set up a checking account for the HRA and getting the funds transferred from the City Treasurer. Election of Officers: Annual election of officers will be on the August agenda. Xcel Energy® 825 Rice St. RESPONSIBLE BY NATURED St. Paul, MN5517 1-800-895-4999 xcelenergy.com July 9, 2014 SUBJECT Scandia Natural Gas Main Extension Inquiry Status Update — June 2014 Dear Scandia property owner: A neighborhood survey was recently conducted to determine whether it would be feasible for Xcel Energy to extend natural gas service into the Olinda Trail North/Olgilvie area. An area map highlighting the area identified for this natural gas main extension is attached for your reference. A total of 110 properties were identified on this extension survey and we received 52 interested responses. Per the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission natural gas tariff, economic requirements for the extension stipulate we must have 80 interested property owners to move forward with this project. Although we will not be able to extend natural gas service to the Scandia community at this time, we will continue to work with city staff and neighborhood volunteers in the hopes that additional property owners express an interest in getting natural gas service. For now, the natural gas main project will be pursued as a potential project for the summer of 2015 pending efforts to add more residential customers. If you know of a property owner in this area who might be interested in using natural gas, but has not yet registered their interest, please ask them to contact us by sending an email to our prospective natural gas customers mailbox: NaturalGasMN(aDxcelenergy.com Or leave us a voice mail at 1-800-894-3368. To register, we simply need the following. • Name • Service Address • Email address • Home Phone • Cell Phone Thank you for your interest in natural gas.
