Application: Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit in the I/C District for a Pole Building for
the Upper Midwest A-C Club at 720 Airport Road SW.
Applicant: Upper Midwest A-C Club
Conditional Use Permit
The Upper Midwest AC Club has applied for a CUP for a Pole Building in the I/C Zoning District located
at 720 Airport Road SW. All pole buildings and all uses within the I/C require a Conditional Use Permit.
The building will be used to support the Orange Spectacular Allis Chalmers Show held at the McLeod
County Fairgrounds. The applicant is proposing a 60’ x 160’ pole building for the storage of tractors and
equipment for the Orange Spectacular.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Existing Zoning: I/C (Industrial/Commercial)
Property Location: 720 Airport Road SW
Lot Size: 6.23 Acres
Existing Land Use: Vacant
Adjacent Land Use: Commercial and Airport
Adjacent Zoning: I/C and C-4
Comprehensive Plan: Commercial
Zoning History: Previously was part of larger lot affiliated with Sky Dive Hutchinson
Applicable
Regulations: Section 154.066, 154.123, and 154.175
Building: 60’x160’ Pole Framed Building
Conditional Use Permit:
A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is needed for any use in this district. It is the purpose of the I/C District
to allow for development of areas where there is a transition in use occurring, but sites are not available
which would allow for compliance with other district requirements. Industrial or commercial
development will be allowed only as a conditional permitted use to:
(1) Ease land use transition;
(2) Control development so that it is compatible with surrounding property; and
(3) Establish dimensional requirements on an individual basis.
The following are standards for granting a conditional use permit:
(a) The proposed building or use at the particular location requested is necessary or desirable to
provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of the public convenience and will
contribute to the general welfare of the neighborhood or community;
(b) The proposed building or use will not have a substantial or undue adverse effect upon
adjacent property, the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions, utility facilities and
other matters affecting the public health, safety and general welfare; and
(c) The proposed building or use will be designed, arranged and operated so as to permit the
development and use of neighboring property in accordance with the applicable district
regulations.
The applicant is requesting a CUP to construct a pole building for storage at the above listed location.
The building is proposed to be cold storage at this point and will not be heated or have water and sewer
facilities. City water and sewer is not available at this location and likely will not be for the near future,
therefore if water and sewer are needed in the future it will need to be provided from well and septic
system. Other businesses in this area also are on well and septic.

There appears to be a low spot to the east of the proposed building. It looks like it would hold a foot +/-
of water, since there does not appear to be a pipe or outlet of any sort. It appears like it would work as a
vegetated swale unless saturated soils persist when it may hold water. If it is not designed as a treatment
basin then it should have continuous slope so it drains and does not hold water. There has been fill
hauled in to the site recently to accommodate building on the site. If regrading of more than 1 acre is
needed with this project, stormwater rate control and treatment may be needed.
The driveway for the building will come off Airport Road. The site plan shows the driveway being
gravel, however the driveway is required to be paved with either bituminous or concrete per City Code.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit with the following conditions:
1. The proposed building and site improvements shall comply with the standards of the I/C Zoning
district and the Zoning Ordinance, as well as all other City regulations.
2. A building permit is required for the construction of the building.
3. If more than 1 acre of soil will be disturbed with this project or this project in conjunction with
the fill that was recently hauled in, stormwater requirements will be triggered and will need to
be addressed with the building permit submittal.
4. The arrangement of the parking stalls, including handicap parking will need to be submitted
with the building permit.
5. The parking stalls are required to be striped and the size and quantity will be required to meet
City Code.

ADDITION
Applicant: GUS WURDELL, APPLICANT
nd
PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT OF WHITE HAWK VILLAGE2Addition–

GENERAL INFORMATION
Existing Zoning: R-3 (Medium-High Density Residential District)
Property Location: Outlot A – White Hawk Village Addition
Lot Size: 1.73 Acres
Existing Land Use: Vacant R-3 Zoning District Outlot
Adjacent Land Use
And Zoning: R-2 (Medium Density Residential District), R-3 (Medium-High Density Residential
District), R-3 PD (Medium-High Density Planned Development Residential District)
Comprehensive
Land Use Plan: Medium Density Residential Neighborhood
Zoning History: Originally platted as Ravenwood 11/16/1999 in the R-3 Zoning District. Platted as White
Hawk Village in August,2014.
Applicable
Regulations: City Code of Ordinances Sections 153.35 – 153.51
Transportation: The property will be accessed off White Owl Trail SW.
Physical Characteristics: The subdivision had been previously developed for multi-family housing and was not built
on.
Analysis:
The preliminary and final plats as presented appear to meet the requirements of the subdivision and zoning ordinances.
The minimum lot area for this district (R-3) is 7,200 square feet and the smallest lot proposed is 8,187 square feet and the
largest is 14, 466 square feet. All of the lot sizes appear to be appropriate and consistent with the zoning ordinance.
Utilities will be located in the rear yard of the eight proposed lots. This is due to the previous subdivision design. Storm
sewer lines are in place and the drainage flows to the existing stormwater pond to the southwest. The attached
construction plans show all of the details related to utilities.
The homes will front on White Owl Trail SW, which is a private street. Mr. Wurdell owns south half of White Owl Trail
SW and Cottage Homesteads owns the other half. An agreement will need to be reached between Mr. Wurdell and
Cottage Homesteads on use and future maintenance of the private street. The applicant is proposing parking areas off
Bluejay Drive and Black Hawk Drive. These parking areas are located where the old street that was removed intersects
with Bluejay Drive and Black Hawk Drive. Staff is recommending against these parking areas because they only add four
parking stalls and the public streets in the area accommodate parking on one side. Staff is concerned about future
maintenance of these stalls since the driveways to these areas are in the right-of-way. Additionally, staff is concerned
about potential confusion on who can utilize these parking spaces. Staff is recommending the old aprons be torn out and
new curbing installed.
Lastly, it is important to note that Zone B of the Airport Zoning District touches lots 1 and 2. The homes as proposed, are
in conformance with the Airport Zoning Ordinance at this time.
