Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bauer, Commissioners VanScoy, Peters, Anderson, <br />Gengler, Hunt, and Walker. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br />Chairperson Bauer closed the public hearing closed at 8:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Commission Business <br />Chairperson Bauer noted that during the public comments the newest member of the Commission <br />arrived, Tom Hunt, and welcomed him. <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked staff to pull up the address on Google maps with the satellite view <br />as the GIS is dated imagery. He noted that a truck terminal was listed in the documents but noted <br />that he does not see that on the site. He noted that there is significant parking on the northeast. He <br />noted that the site appears to be setup for large vehicle traffic and asked how that fits into the <br />narrative of one truck per day. <br />Commissioner Walker commented that he believes that the trucks seen in the photo from Google <br />maps are the farm trucks of the father in-law. <br /> <br />Carl Blookhouse commented on the multiple trucks that he currently has on the property. He noted <br />that he was temporarily storing those vehicles on the site when he sold his farm in Wisconsin and <br />they will be moved to his new Minnesota property once his building is completed. He confirmed <br />that those vehicles are his personal equipment that was moved from his farm. <br /> <br />Commissioner VanScoy referenced the parking pad and asked staff for details. <br /> <br />City Planner McCann commented that in the current format the parking pad does not meet the <br />recently updated ordinance. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hunt asked what would constitute as dispatch. <br /> <br />City Planner McCann stated that they previously reviewed the definition within City Code and <br />repeated that definition. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hunt asked if it would be employees that are dispatched. <br /> <br />City Planner McCann confirmed that it would be the employees and materials. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson asked if there is fire suppression in the buildings. <br /> <br />Mr. Hillman replied that they have fire extinguishers throughout the building. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson commented then the applicant would rely on typical fire response if there <br />were a fire. He asked why the applicant does not want to stay in Elk River. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/ April 28, 2022 <br />Page 8 of 20 <br /> <br />
