IN THE I -INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT - LOCATED AT 2383 PILOT KNOB ROAD
(PLANNING CASE NO. 2019-10)
WHEREAS, Southview Design (the "Applicant") applied for an Interim Use Permit,
which would allow for the temporary parking of employee vehicles on adjacent property owned
by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), which is located next to the
Applicant's own property of 2383 Pilot Knob Road (the "Subject Property"), as presented under
Planning Case No. 2019-10, and legally described in attached Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the Mendota Heights Planning Commission held a public hearing on this
matter at their regular meeting of May 28, 2019; whereupon closing the hearing and follow-up
discussion on this item, the Planning Commission recommended approval (by 7-0 vote) of the
Interim Use Permit with certain findings of fact and conditions of approval as noted herein.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Mendota Heights City Council that
Interim Use Permit, which would allow for the temporary parking of employee vehicles on
adjacent property owned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), which is
located next to the Applicant's own property of 2383 Pilot Knob Road, as presented under Planning
Case No. 2019-10, is hereby approved with the following findings of fact:
A. The proposed interim use allowing an unpaved off-site parking facility for

intent of the zoning code and comprehensive plan, including some performance
standards. The City however, supports the efforts of Southview Design to provide

required to keep and maintain this site in a neat and orderly fashion, and that they
shall meet all conditions during the term of construction.

December 31, 2020).

Use Permit for the property located next to 23 83 Pilot Knob Road, and as presented under Planning
Case No. 2019-10, is hereby approved with the following conditions:

interim use permit must be submitted to the City of Mendota Heights at least sixty
(60) days prior to the expiration date, and approved by the City Council.
2. The former railway right-of-way shall be used for the parking of seasonal employee
vehicles only. No commercial or business/work trucks, semi -trailers, storage
containers, dumpsters, refuse or landscaping equipment or materials will be
