Excerpts from Plan Commission Meeting of February 2, 2006 Cal.No. 06-07 Petition of ROBERT BRISCOE, dba AGRI-LOAD for a Conditional Use Permit to allow an inter modal grain handling facility at 1102 North Eighteenth Street. Mr. Mark Smith was sworn in by Ms. Jesse. Mr. Smith presented the recommendation of staff: The property in question has been zoned M-1 Light industrial District for decades. It has been used for a number of industrial uses during the ensuing years. Most recently, Union Iron, Inc. occupied the premises. The property south of Condit Street has been used as a rail yard for decades. The rail yard and surrounding property is zoned M-2 Heavy Industrial District. In 1994, Lots 188 and 189 of Dodson's Second Addition which lie immediately west of and across East 18th Street was rezoned from R-3 Single Family Residence District to M-1 Light Industrial District. In 1999, Lots 153, 184, 185, 186 and 187 of Dodson's Second Addition which lie north, northwest and west respectively was rezoned from R-3 Single Family Residence District to M 1 Light Industrial District. The property contains six(6) lots each measuring 50 feet by 124 feet for a total of 37,200 square feet(0.854 acres). The property is improved with an existing building, a small parking lot on the south side of the building and associated ingress and egress from 18th, 19th, and Condit Streets. There is another building located on property immediately north which is also owned by the petitioner. Most of the subject property is paved in gravel at this time. The petitioner is requesting a Conditional Use Permit in order to operate the inter modal facility. The petitioner proposes to use the existing building and premises for the inter model transport of grain from truck to rail. The petitioner previously stated that grain will be accepted and unloaded inside the existing building. The grain will be loaded on wheeled containers, taken outside the building, weighed on scales and transported to a rail loading site nearby. The south ten(10) feet of the building (located on Lot 150)will be removed and the scales will be installed. Engineering has approved the plans for ingress and egress. As a result, new drives and paving will be installed as shown on the site plan. Up to ten(10) wheeled containers may be stored on the site at any given time. All of the adjacent and nearby uses are industrial, with the exception of a single family dwelling to the west of the subject site. That residence is zoned M-1 Light Industrial District. ' I��
