Information Title: PUBLIC HEARING: Consider Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Application for Truck Garant at 6021 Hwy 21 (Project #17-151); Case of Roman Gadaskin Purpose/Background: Roman Gadaskin (the "Applicant") has submitted an application for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) at 6021 Highway 10 NW (the "Subject Property") to allow a Truck Garant, a dispatch trucking company to operate from the subject property. Dump trucks from Truck Garant are dispatched to haul construction material all over the metroplitan area. No construction material is brought back to the subject property. The Applicant is proposing to utilize this location as a dispatch center where the vehciles will be stored and where minor maintenance and fabrication would occur. The facility would not be available to the general public. This business was first brought to the attention of Staff through its code enforcement program. Over the past several months the applicant and business owner have been working with Staff to make corrections prior to being brought forward for CUP consideration. Notification: City Staff attempted to notify all property owners within 350 feet of the Subject Property of the request via U.S. mail and published a notice of public hearing in the Anoka Union Herald, the City's official newspaper. Observations/Alternatives: The Applicant, Roman Gadaskin has requested a conditional use permit for the company Truck Garant. Truck Garant dispatches vehicles daily to haul construction materials for various construction projects around the twin cities. Truck Garant does minor servicing like oil changes on its own vehicles and also does minor fabrication to its own vehicles.

The proposed business is consistent with the Commercial use Comprehensive Plan guidance and the H-1: Highway 10 district as the proposed use is consistent with Motor vehicle service as well as light manufacturing both of which are listed as Conditional Uses in the H-1 Highway 10 district. The Applicant would park dump trucks on the proposed parking area. Any vehicles not operable or being serviced would be stored inside of the existing structure. Currently the site has a mixture of deciduous and coniferous trees on to the north and east sides of the property. There is also a stand of deciduous trees in the middle of the property which also screen this area from the south and towards Highway 10. Any outdoor storage must continue to be screened from view and be only on a concrete or black top surface. No inoperable vehicle or vehicles parts may be stored outside. H-1 Highway 10 District requires 1 deciduous/coniferous trees per 50 lineal feet of site perimeter or 1 tree per 1,000 square feet of building footprint area, whichever is greater. City code also requires 1 shrub per 30 lineal feet of site perimeter or 1 per 300 square feet of building footprint area, whichever is greater. The 1,300 lineal feet is the greater requirement even with the potential future 3,600 square foot expansion. As a result the lineal feet
