CITY OF SCANDIA, MINNESOTA
CC RESOLUTION NO. 2022-45
APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR PARCELS 19.032.19.22.0004 &
19.032.19.22.0008,
LOCATED AT 16315 209TH STREET NORTH
WHEREAS, Correy and Michelle Lorenz made an application to request an Interim Use
Permit to allow for livestock at a density greater than permitted, located at 16315 209th Street
North; and
WHEREAS, the property is legally described as
See Attachment A; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the request for the Interim Use Permit
(IUP) at a duly noticed Public Hearing on December 6, 2022, and recommended that the City
Council approve the IUP, with conditions;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF SCANDIA, WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA, that it approves
of an Interim Use Permit to allow for livestock at a density greater than permitted, located at
16315 209th Street North, based on the following findings:
1. Livestock and Livestock Operations are a permitted use in the RR-G zone, and is not in
conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. The ordinance permits additional animal density
through an IUP. The proposed use will not require new public facilities or impact the
City’s capital improvement plan.
2. The proposed use is permitted within this zone, just at a higher animal density than
permitted. The proposed use will not create adverse impacts on the public health safety,
morals, comfort or general welfare of the public. The interim use will terminate three
years from date of approval, to allow the city to review and mitigate potential issues with
the intensity of the proposed use. Due to the proposed transfer of manure, a Manure
Management Plan shall be required to be submitted to the city.
3. The site is already screened from lots to the east, west, and south by existing vegetation,
the only lot that would be able to easily see the structure is the lot to the north. Drivers at
the intersection of 209th and the highway would also be able to see the proposed use.
Most properties are either agricultural or residential in use, as lots in this portion of the
city are zoned RR-G. This zone is meant to ‘promote the rural character of the city’, the
raising of livestock would be consistent with a rural setting. Given the existing
CC Resolution No.: 2022-45

landscaping between the subject property and neighboring lots, and the rural character of
the area, this use will not substantially diminish or impair nearby property values or
scenic views.
4. The proposed use will not impede development or improvement of surrounding
properties.
5. The proposed use will use the same driveway as the house, no new curb cut or access
drive will be needed. The proposed use would not require an extension of city-owned
public facilities.
6. The proposed use is consistent with the applicable regulations of the RR-G Zone, and is
consistent with the requirements of the UDC. Conditions of approval can be added if the
Planning Commission finds issues with the proposed use in relation to surface or ground
water contamination, excessive manure accumulation, odor, noise, and other potential
nuisances.
7. This proposed interim use meets the general and specific performance standards of the
UDC.
8. Livestock are a permitted use in the RR-G zone; the proposed density of 3.25 animal
units per acre (20 animal units on 6.15 acres of land) is able to be permitted through an
interim use permit.
9. As an interim use, the city can set an end date or ‘sunset’ of the interim use.
10. The proposed use would not require an extension of city-owned infrastructure or facilities
(such as roads, city sewer, etc.).
11. Conditions of approval must be agreed to by the applicant.
FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED that the following conditions of approval shall be met:
1. The applicant is permitted a maximum of 20 cattle on the property. Increases in the number
of cattle on the site shall require an amendment to the IUP.
2. The applicant shall adhere to the fencing and accessory structure requirements of the UDC.
3. The applicant shall submit a manure management plan to the city.
4. The applicant shall acquire applicable permits required by the watershed district, and
adhere to their requirements.
5. The IUP shall terminate three years from the date of approval in the event the property is
sold, the use is discontinued, or conditions of the permit are violated, whichever occurs
first.

6. The applicant shall secure all applicable local, state, and federal permits for the proposed
request.
