PUBLIC HEARINGS/COMMISSION BUSINESS 6.01: Public Hearing: Consider a Request for a Variance to Impervious Surface Coverage at 6151 140th Avenue NW (Project No. 25-118); Case of Zero Zone Public Hearing Chairperson Gengler called the public hearing to order at 7:03 p.m. Presentation Senior Planner Anderson presented the staff report and Environmental Policy Board recommendation of approval for the variance to impervious coverage on the subject property. Commissioner Musgrove asked if the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization (LRRWMO) would also need to review this project. Senior Planner Anderson confirmed that any project disturbing over one acre of land would require the review of the LRRWMO and stated that the applicant is going through that process as well. Commissioner Musgrove recognized that the maintenance of the stormwater pond would be of the applicant and asked for more information. She recognized that this project would provide more water treatment and infiltration than currently exists, which is a benefit. Senior Planner Anderson confirmed that management and maintenance would be of the property owner. Citizen Input Michael Quay, Project Manager, stated that this is an exciting project for the business as the additional office and production space is needed to make them more effective. He noted that this would also provide additional needed parking. Planning Commission/ October 2, 2025 Page 2 of 7
