7. Action Items
a. Superior Sand and Gravel Interim Use Permit
The applicant, Dan Smith,proposed to excavate an aggregate deposit within a 100-foot-
wide high-pressure gas main easement that runs north and south through approximately
one-third of the property. This portion was recently abandoned by CenterPoint Energy.
The request is to excavate, crush, and sort the aggregate within a two-year period.
Additional time was requested to export the sorted aggregate and import fill material to
bring the property to a final minimum grade, allowing for future development. The
Interim Use Permit application proposed mining and fill activity through December 31,
2029.
Planner Dempsey provided the staff report. On May 6, 2024,the City Council tabled
action on Superior Sand and Gravel's interim use permit request to allow mining and
excavation, grading, filling, and aggregate processing operations on property located in
the northeast quadrant of Kenrick Avenue and 195th Street at 19250 Kenrick Avenue.
Following the City Council motion and approval to table the item until the May 20,
2024, meeting, the applicant has since agreed to a revised and reduced time frame of
mining, excavation, and fill/grading activity between May 2024 and December 31,
2026, provided the quantity of imported fill material exceeds the quantity of export
material from the property during that period. If imported material exceeds exported
material during this period, then one additional year of mining and excavation will be
allowed until December 31, 2027. Stipulation S includes this new language.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing at its Apri125, 2024, meeting. Three
individuals, one in person and two via email, provided comments. The Planning
Commission recommended unanimous approval of the interim use permit subject to 19
stipulations.
The City Council asked questions related to who will be responsible for regulating what
the applicant is mining. Council asked to a stipulation that would require any loads
leaving the property are wetted down, and covered for weather purposes.

b. Holman Interim Use Permit
Applicant Debra Holman requested an application for an interim use permit to allow an
apiary(keeping of honeybees) accessory for use on a single-family home located at
18005 Jacquard Path. The applicant also requested that the City Council consider
shortening the time frame and lowering the cost for an apiary application.
Larry Hill, a local beekeeper at Aspen Ridge Honey Farm, spoke on behalf of the
applicant and provided some education about the flight pattern and harvest of bees. Mr.
Hill has been a beekeeper for 24 years. There is no certification process to become a
beekeeper,but classes are online through the University of Minnesota extension office.
Larry has also mentored other beekeepers, and he is mentoring Debra Holman.
Planner Frank Dempsey provided the staff report. The proposed property is located in
the RS-2, Single Family Residential District. An apiary is allowed in a residential
zoning district subject to 11-35-3.F.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. This is the first
application submitted for an apiary on a residential property since the Zoning Ordinance
was amended to allow them in 2017.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing at its May 9, 2024, meeting. One
person provided a comment at the public hearing, and two individuals sent emails
following the public hearing. The Planning Commission recommended unanimous
approval of the interim use permit subject to six stipulations.
The Council discussed whether the applicants should be certified to an apiary for the
keeping of bees, the Council acknowledged the emails that were submitted. Council
asked for someone with bee knowledge to assist with the inspections when they occur
and to review the ordinance.
Motion was made by Lee, seconded by Wolter, to approve the Debra Holman interim
use permit and adopt the findings of fact.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Hellier, Bermel, Lee, Volk, Wolter
