The Planning Commission reviewed the request at a duly noticed Public Hearing on April
7, 2020, and recommended approval of the amended CUP with conditions: and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SCANDIA, WASHINGTON COUNTY,
MINNESOTA, that it recommends approval of an amended Conditional Use Permit to allow a
building addition and parking lot expansion at the Big Marine Store, in order to accommodate a
new bar and restaurant and use of the second floor for up to five (5) hotel rooms, located at
19261 Manning Trail North, based on the following findings:
1. The proposed use is consistent with the goals and policies for uses in the Rural
Commercial area. It will not require new public facilities or impact the City’s capital
improvement plan.
2. The approval of the CUP depends upon the applicant meeting required conditions for the
septic system, well, landscaping and screening, stormwater management, parking,
lighting and signage that will be generated by the expanded use and facilities. If the
applicant meets the conditions and obtains all required permits, the use will not create
adverse impacts on the public health safety, morals, comfort or general welfare of the
public.
3. The new uses will generally be accommodated within the existing and proposed
buildings. The conditions for approval require that the proposed parking lots be screened
from adjacent properties by vegetation, berming or fencing on the applicant’s parcel to
meet the requirements of the Development Code. The Watershed shall indicate what it
requires to address the drainage of stormwater from the site to the adjacent property on
the east, such that the proposed expansion will not negatively impact adjacent property
values or scenic views.
4. The proposed use is an expansion of the existing commercial use on the property. It will
not negatively affect the development or improvement of surrounding properties for
permitted uses.
5. Adequate public facilities and services are available or can be provided for the new use.
6. The proposed use is consistent with the applicable regulations of the Rural Commercial
Zoning District.
7. The use will be required to comply with the conditions of the existing CUP and proposed
conditions of the amended CUP in order to meet the general and specific performance
standards of the Development Code.
